"The smiling Spring ;" a Ballad. By S. S. WESLEY,

Esq.

Mr. WESLEY has studied in a school of which one of the rules is a connexion between sound and sense. That he has not studied in vain, this sow* would be sufficient to show : it also discovers his knowledge of the Sue and proper character of accompaniment, and power to origi- nate an air of feeling and expression. What could prompt him to the nonsense of adding "Esq." to his name? Is he afraid of being known as a member of his profession ; or does he imagine that such an adden- dum, or any other, can dignify the honoured name of SAMUEL WESLEY?
