TEGNER, the great Swedish poet, is known to American and English readers through _Frithiof's Saga_ and Longfellow's translations of his _Children of the Lord's Supper_. A German version of his more recent writings is now making its appearance at Leipzic. The first number contains _Gerda_, a fragment of an unfinished heroic poem which is spoken of as very admirable, and a few little comic poems which are said to be charming.

Freligrath's reputation as a poet appears to have much advantage from his persecution as a patriot. * * * * * The Italians were surprised lately by the announcement that the ex-minister GUERRAZZI, who is in prison awaiting trial for high treason, was about to publish _An Apology for his Political Life_, and that sheets of this Apology are from time to time forwarded to Signor Lami, Minister of Greece and Justice, who revises them, when they are returned to Guerrazzi for final correction. It seems incredible--altogether inconsistent with Italian policy--that a state prisoner should thus be suffered to pre-occupy the public mind with his defence. But the ministerial paper of the 8th of August indiscreetly solved the mystery with the following notice:
