Happy they, and they alone,

Who this "glorious hope" have known,
Present joys to them will tell

Of bliss unknown, invisible;

Bliss with which they shall ere long
Join that new and glorious song
Taught by Him whose changeless love
Tunes the golden harps above!

THE WHITE HORSE OF HANOVER.

MONARCH of Britain, Ruler of the sea,
Proud streams thy meteor-banner o'er the wave,
Man, and the elements alike to brave
Appearing. On thine island throne, to thee
Peoples, and kings, and nations bow the knee,
From where the Arctic billows wildly rave

Round utmost Thule, to the seas which lave
The torrid shores of India's monarchy.
Was it of thee in Patmos prophesied,

That, armed with power, and girded with a sword,

Thou on the horse of victory shouldst ride,

While earth's far confines owned her sovereign Lord?

Or was there meant a mightier e'en than thou,

Before whose name both this, and Heaven's bright world, must bow?

MOSCOW.

ACCORDING to the description given by Dr. Henderson, in his Biblical Researches, this celebrated city is divided into five quarters, or circular parts. 1. The Krem'l, or fortress, which is constructed on an elevation in the very centre of the city, and contains the ancient palace of the Tzars, the patriarchial residence, the senate-house, the arsenal, and a vast assemblage of churches, crowded together within a small space. 2. Kitai-gorod, which forms a kind of oblong square on the east side of the Kreml, and is principally filled with magazines, bazaars, shops, &c. It also contains the printing-office of the Holy Synod, a Greek monastery, and several ancient churches and chapels. 3. Beloi-gorod, containing the University, Bank, Post-office, Mint, Foundry, the Foundling and other hospitals, and the bestlooking streets and houses in the whole city. In this division stands the house of the Bible Society, being presented by his Imperial majesty in 1817. It is most conveniently situated in one of the principal streets leading to the Krem'l, and the busy scene of mercantile occupation. This house was formerly that of the State Inquisition; and it is a singular fact, that one of the servants of the Society, now resident in it, was, during a long succession of years, immured in one of its cells. 4. Zemlianai-gorod, which comprises upwards of sixty churches, with a number of palaces and convents, the public cemeteries, &c. 5. Slobodi, the slobodes, or suburbs, and quarters inhabited by German and Tartar settlers. They also contain hospitals, barracks, and monasteries in considerable numbers. The whole is surrounded by an earthen rampart, called the Kammer Kalleshskoivall, in which are not fewer than fourteen gates, forming so many entrances to the city. Each division has anciently been defended by a wall; but in modern times, and more especially since the French era, the walls have fallen into
