12. St. John in Patmos, "a Poem, by one of

the Oldest Living Poets of Great Britain," has been produced by a passage in a late Edinburgh Review. The author has been induced to show that his ancient harp is not yet unstrung. We suppose this old living poet is Archdeacon BOWLES ; whose harp, if not unstrung, may yet be considerably slackened in the string. The poem, however, we have only just received ; and have scarcely peered beyond its gilt edges,—a new fashion in pamphleteering, invented by Mr. MUR- RAY on occasion of Miss FANNY KEMBLE s Tragedy.
