Our Lady Poets.-Mrs. Hemans is still residing in Dublin, occupied in the education of her sons: she will shortly publish a volume of sacred poetry. Hannah More is still alive, but in a state that would render death a blessing; a Memoir by "a constant friend," is already prepared. Miss Landon has been staying at Oxford on a visit to her uncle, the head of Worcester college; a new novel from her pen is nearly finished. Miss Mitford sojourns at Three-Mile-Cross; her tragedies laid by until a more fitting season. Mrs. Howitt, a member of the Society of Friends, who resides at Nottingham, has prepared a series of tragic dramas, with the highest moral tone. Of Mrs. Joanna Baillie, the world hears nothing; she resides at Highgate, in comparative solitude, but enjoying daily intercourse with a few chosen friends. Miss Bowles is unhappily not in good health; she lives at Leamington, in Hampshire. Miss Jewsbury, (Mrs. Fletcher) is on the wide sea, with her husband, voyaging to India. Mrs. Norton is deserting the Muses, for the Court Magazine, and a novel which we believe will shortly appear. Mrs. Opie lately disposed of her house at Norwich, and is now residing in Cornwall.-London paper.
