The dinner is served in the first style of French cookery, and washed down with the richest and most expensive wines. The exhilarated bailiff betrays the native insolence and ferocity of his disposition, and is about to execute his capias on the unfortunate Captain, when the latter displays his writ of protection, and leaves the bailiff to growl over his disappointment, and to settle the bill for his unwonted entertainment.

The above passages appear to us to indicate no small share of talent. The author possesses, we think, considerable spirit, and no common descriptive powers; but we are compelled, by some of the verses in this little volume, to remind him, that there are scenes, which it can never be becoming to describe, and upon which the utmost cleverness and ingenuity are worse than thrown away.
