travels to " King John's Barn."

WE have copied the above striking extract from Mr. Hunt's admirable Designs for Parsonage Houses, &c. published so long ago as the early part of 1827; and much do we rejoice to find that the subject has at last attracted the attention of Parliament so strongly, as to have been twice introduced in the House of Peers within the present week. As it has always been one of interest to us, and as we may be better acquainted with it than even the noble lords who did honour to their tastes by affording protection to these venerable remains, we shall take the liberty of saying a few words. Though the most ancient structure was of an anterior period, the existing building was, unquestionably, re-edified by Edward IV. A great portion of the walls, if not from the foundation, must be of that king's reign, as the roof, the windows, and the doors, bear incontestable proof of belonging to the best architecture of his time. The Rose en Soleil, his own peculiar badge, is seen in the spandrils of the arches, and the arches themselves are, perhaps, among the earliest instances of the flat construction of that important feature. As for removing this Barn, the very idea is odious-it would be destroying that which belongs to posterity as much as it does to us, as a model of perfect art. At the same time, it is our opinion (having often viewed this ruin), that the estimate of 6000l. for repairing and sustaining it, is excessive. Nothing seems to be wanted to support it as a study (and it need be applied to no agricultural or domestic purpose), but to take off and reconstruct the roof, strengthening the upper part of the walls, with the oriels; which, we will be bound to say, could be most substantially done for half the money.

ORIGINAL POETRY.

THE YOUTHFUL DAYS OF CANOVA.*
He dwelt in an elysium of bright thoughts,
That, lavish as the vernal wealth of May,
Woke in his gifted fancy. His world was
A pastoral valley, bounded by the Alps,
Whose snowy peaks, invading upper heaven,
Woo the soft splendours of th' Italian sky.
Unknown to him the realms that lay beyond,
Save in romantic legend or wild song-
Records of olden time, whence he might catch
Glimpses of busier life. Enough for bliss
That calm retreat, sequestered and obscure,
Where his heart revelled in the first warm gush
Of sympathy, unsullied by mistrust.
Supremely blest, the young Canova saw,

I little of time and circumstance to knock down and scatter over the face of the earth. We

cannot but regret that, in this instance, some arrangement has not been made to preserve what our distinguished anatomist has with so much of skill and toil got together; the world, we believe, can furnish no parallel to the pathological and zootomical divisions of this Museum; and altogether it was (we wish we could have said is) more like the grand effort it is said, the Treasury is too low, the glove of a national institution than the performance of a single man.

stores,

Exhaustless as infinity,—were all
A theme of rapture and of wonderment.
Instinct with poetry, his spirit was
An instrument, amidst whose golden chords
Music lay slumbering, waiting but the touch
Of skill to bring forth her enchanting tones
In fullest harmony. How oft would he,
When o'er the woods of Asolano fell
The shades of evening, watch the roseate clouds
Floating along the distant Alpine range,
Upon whose stainless summits daylight still
Reign'd in her glory! How oft would he gaze,
Until the emotions labouring in his breast,
With power resistless burst forth from his lips
In some impassioned vow, that he might mount
A gilded beam of Sol's receding car,
Or sail upon the wings of fleetest winds;
Till, mingling with the ethereal elements,
The sense of his mortality subdued,
He might become a radiant seraph there,
The inhabitant of heaven!

Supremely blest,
In those romantic solitudes he pass'd
The years of boyhood, that in after-life
To him were tablets of memorial fond.
Yet some who looked on his sweet countenance,
Shadowed by deep and contemplative thought,
Had deem'd the youth a prey to grief or care,
Unwitting what a luxury of delight
Beneath the veil of pensiveness may rest.
