Were gathered here for prophecy or song . Not only in the bloom of ripened Thought , Had the wise craftsman fixed in sculptured Eternal Grace and perfect Loveliness , So marrying melody to marble forms , But the enormous bulk of ancient gods _. The primal rulers of a buried world , Croucht , stood or leant in solid dreadfulness . Here a vast engine roared and screamed aloud , Or hissed and bubbled out thick flame and smoke With noisy respiration ; here its like An equal front opposed , till midway both For mutual harm encountered , and the shock Startled the ponderous marble images . Here Zagreus , from clencht teeth , defiance jarred , Porphyrion , Brontes , Arges , Steropes , Rage , Murder , Phrenjzy , and all monstrous Shapes Gloomed on the air as meteors and foul winds In stagnant marshes bred , on sand and sea . Here glared Medusa's head , with frozen orbs , And held between strange terror and delight The Heart that lookt on its melodious pain . Memnonian Statues from _grandseval Thebes , And of old kings the marble pieties Stood round , grey children of the eternal Prime , Fixing their dead eyes on the passer-by . Now paused the Princess , where a temple rose ; Sacred to Aphrodite was the fane , And entering here awhile with lowly voice She prayed serene . But soon tumultuous sounds Swelled up and thickened on the humming air . Then from the fane , passing with sudden haste She left those images of Fear and Love , Nor paused until her eager feet attained A lawny upland , where the orient sun Smiled on a temple that before the dawn Rose like a marble dream , but westering shone On ruins , and departed glory mourned . What few white blocks yet stood resisting force , One piled on other , impious hands assailed . Women with flushing cheeks and glaring eyes moulds

Shouted , when marble fragments snowed the ground ; Old men whose silver hairs fresh brilliance caught From the indignant sun , curst long and loud , Blaspheming the Great God , or shattered fane And Statue with rude axe , or manacled The Bacchic priests with rush or withy green ; Here youth and maid entreated , raved and wept—Above the multitude rose eminent A Form imperial that with quiet eyes „ Beheld the waste and terror of the scene . Approving what he saw ; a kingly crown Circled his head , and purple robes adorned His stately limbs : no passion lit his face , But on his brow sat intellect enthroned—This was the Flower of Cretan chivalry , Minos , sole judge and sovran of the land , Who loving well the old laws and sanctities , O ' erlookt the grander Life that still renews The ancient order , and with random blow Struck down the loveliest growth of budding Time

Uses Of The Rose.—Pose Water Is Distille...
Uses of the Rose . —Pose Water is distilled from tbe petals of pale roses , in preference to deep red ones , mixed with a small quantity of water ; and in France those of the musk-rose is preferred when tbey can be obtained . Tbis product of tbe rose was known to tbe Greeks in the time of Homer , and to Avieenna among the Arabs , a . d . 980 . It is more or less in use , in every civilized country , for the toilette , and on occasions of festivals and religious ceremonies . Vinegar of Roses is made by simply infusing dried rose petals in the best distilled vinegar . It is used on the Continent for curing headaches produced by tbe vapours
of charcoal , or the beat of tbe sun . For tbis purpose cloths or linen rags , moistened with the vinegar , are applied to tbe bead , and left thei ' e till tbey are dried by evaporation . Spirit of Poses is procured by distilling rose petals with a small quantify of spirits of wine . This produces a very fragrant spirit , which , when mixed with sugar , make the liqueur known in France by the name of I'hitifc de rose : if also forms the ground-work <> f the liqueur called par / ail amour . Consrrrm of Poses \» prepared by bruising in a mortar the petals with their weight of sugar , till the whole forms a honiogeiiiioiiH lna . iM . In tin : earlier _njre . i ,
according to ltosenihotirg , in bis History of tha Pose ( published in I <>; i 17 ) , the rose was a speeilie against , every disease . It was much in use in the time of Gerard , and is still employed in the composition of electuaries and many other medicines . Attar of Poses- Essence , attar , otto , or , as it is sometimes called , butter of roses , is the most celebrated of all the different preparation . ! from this tlovver _, antl forms an object of commerce on the coast of Barbary , in Syria , in Persia , in India , and in various parts of the Must . In Kngland it , is usually
called otto of roses , a corruption of the word "attar , " which , in Arabic , signifies perfume . Tbis essence has the consistence of butter , and only becomes liquid in the warmest weather : it is preserved in small flasks , and is so powerful , that touching it with flic point ol a pin will bring away enough to scent a _pocket-liandkerchief for two or three days . The essence is still procured _abiiiiht in the same manner by which if was first , discovered by the liiot . her-in-law of tbe Great Mogul , in the year H > 1 U viz ., by collecting the drops _t > f oil which float , on ( be surface of vessels filled with

Oil of Poses is obtained by bruising fresh rose petals , mixing with them four times their weight of olive oil , and _leavimr them in the red Itose do Provim be used , the oil is said to imbibe no odour ; but if the petals of pale roses be employed it becomes perfumed .

On Tuesday Otello Was Season, And We Wis...
On Tuesday Otello was season , and we wish we it was performed . The orchestra was perfection , and the lovely accompaniments were played as one can only hear them at this theatre . Tamberlit was suffering from relaxation of the throat , but sang with all his fire and energy , the c in alt electrifying the audience as usual in that farden-scene [ is presence wild enough vantage in Desdemona . . But we remember when it was one ot tier triumphs . lago was never so finely represented as by Honconi , and Galvani did his best to restore Boderigo to due importance . The first act of II Barbie-re followed , and showed Bonconi in all his consummate mastery , with Mario as winning and refined as it is possible for an Almaviva to be . We share Vivian ' s want of sympathy with Madame Castellan , and yet we listened to her exquisite voice with a feeling akin to delight . ¦ _£ _i duet . But his performance lacked the energy of his singing . _i an < d bearing were noble , manly , generous ; but he was not in hia rage . Grisi is not now seen to the greatest ad-Desdemona . But we remember -when it was one of her OTELLO . given at the Royal Italian for the first time this could borrow Vivian ' s pen to say how admirably
