AUTHOR OF THE PLEASURES OF 110 PE. left town at an early hour, to partake of the sport, from which they returned in the evening, quite knock- • ed up, and highly delighted. The sports of Greenwich Fair were renewed yes terday with great eclat, and the keen searching air was very favourable to the display of female beauty in rolling down the Hill. Drury-lane and Covent garden shone in all their original splendour, rebuilt at a small expence, and without giving any trouble to the Lord Chancellor, or requiring the consent of the Renters. Several tragedies were appropriately murdered at both houses, without the aid of the re gular performers ; and some very bad farces were, mended by very ludicrous actors. Roundabouts, whir ligigs, &c. were in as greatabundance as the reports of the turning out and change of Ministers. Pledge to the much-loved Land that gave us birth, luincihle, romantic, Scotia's shore! Pledge to the mem'ry of departed worth, And first, amidst the brave, remember MOORIL And be it deem'd not wrong that name to give, In festive scenes, which poi-opts the Patriot's sigh ; Who would not envy such as Moore to live? And died he not as heroes wish to die ? Yes! though too soon attaining Glory's goal, To us his bright career too short was given ; Yet, in a glorious cause, kis, Plicenix soul Rose, on the flamer of Victory, to Heaven ! How oft, if beats in subjugated Spain One patriot-heart, in secret shall it mourn For him ? How oft, on far Corunna's plait% Shall British Exiles weep upon his urn ? Blest be the mighty Dead! our bosom-thanks, In sprightlier strains, the Living may inspire ! 3oy to the Chiefs who lead old Scotia's ranks, Of Roman garb, and more than Roman fire ! Health to the band this day on Egypt's coast, Whose valour Co:X(1 proud France's Tricolor • ; And wrench'd the banner from her bravest host, Baptiz'd Invincible in Austria's gore ! Triumphant be our Thistle still unfurl'd ! Dear symbol wild ! On Freedom's bill it grows ; Where Fitton L stemm'd the tyrants of the world, And Roman Eagles found unconquer'd fees ! Joy for that day, on Portugallia's strand, When, bayonet to bayonet oppos'd, First of Britannia's host, her I lighland Band Gave but the death-shot once, and ;:oremost clos'd! Is there a Son of generous England here ? Or fervid Erin ? He with us shall join To pray, that in eternal union dear, The Rose, the Shamrock, and the Thistle twine ! Types of a race who shall th' Invader scorn, " As rocks resist the billows" round our shore; Types of a race who shall, to time unborn Their Country leave unconquer'd as of yore ! ROYAL CIRCUS—This place of amusement opened last night with the appearance internally of 4 new theatre. A number of private boxes have been con structed upon a very elegant plan, and the whole of the performancowere received with the greatest ap plause.

George, and several other Ladies of fashion and distinction. Most of the Aldermen and their Ladies, with the two Sheriffs, and the City Officers, attended. About six o'clock the Company sat down to din ner, which consisted of every delicacy of the season, and was served up with great promptitude and regu larity. At the head of the table was a beautiful tem ple, ornamented with various elegant devices, and on the other tables were several splendid national em blems, The Lorin MAYoR gave several loyal and patriotic toasts, and the company were entertained with the vocal exertions of Mr. TAYLOR and several other Professors. The LORD MAYOR'S health was drank with great applause, Before nine o'clock the LADY MAYORESS retired to the Ball-room, and about ten the dancing com menced. The Earl of MORTON danced a minuet with the LADY MAYORESS ; soon after which the pressure became so great, that the country dances were with difficulty proceeded in, The LADY MAYORESS wore white, with her head dress of feathers, and a superb coronet. She appeared in great spirits, and received the attention of the corn pany in the most easy and polite style. The company consisted of between three and four thousand persons, who continued the festive dance till a late hour. The saloon, which has been for Fnany months un der the hands of different artists, was completely finished on Friday last, and when lighted, formed a grand coup d'ail of modern taste : the design is per fectly new and emblematical, representing the strength and union of the country. The rose, thistle, and shamrock., with the royal o4c, in rich gilt urns, hung with many thousand lamps, were suspended on each side of this superb building ; in the centre a costly Grecian lamp with burners. All the other rooms were opened for the accommo dal ion of the company, and when we left the Mansion house, at twelve o►clock, they consisted of between three and four thousand persons. Six to 4 on Fair-Star. Yesterday being Easter Monday, the children of Christ's Hospital paid their annual visit to the LORI) MAYOR at the Mansion-house, From thence they proceeded to Christ's Church, Newgatc-street, accom. panied by his Lordship, the Sheriff:, City Officers, and several Members of the Court of Aldermen. The moment his Lordship emerged from the Mansion, house to take his place in the State:coach, he was as sailed by a perfect thunderstorm of hisses and groans from the multitude, which was continued during his progress to Christ's Church, and return from thence to the Mansion•house. Several of the Aldermen experienced similar indignities. _ _ _ An address has been sent to Colonel WARDLE by the inhabitants of Glasgow, for his conduct in the late enquiry. About 4000 names are attaGhed to it. MRS. CLARKE.—The forthcoming Memoirs of this Lady never have been the property of any Bookseller, nor indeed was the property in them ever offered to sale. She prints them solely on her own account and for her own sole benefit, simply by the intervention of her printer. The idle reports that they were pure chased at a large price by any Bookseller, or have been suppressed - by purchase, are totally void of truth, and without the slightest foundation, The Vienna court Gazette of the 26th of fel:gnat-T r 1 contains an account of the death of Count Coavyrzet.,-1 Minister of State, kc, famous, in consecluence of the treaties which he has signed, and the important nego. , tiations with which he was charged.

The door being open the electric matter escaped without doing any serious in. jury.—The electric fluid also entered the chimney ,of a house belonging to Mr. CARDWELL, and shattered it in a most astcnishing manner,' lowing out five win, dows with_their frames, and breaking the shutters to pieces. It took a direction from the top to the bot tom of the house, entering the parlour, burning the carpet to a cinder, and otherwise doing considerable damage.—Two horses were killed near Downend, Sunday se'nnight, as the mail coach was on its way from Dundee to Arbroath, a female passenger was taken in labour, By the humanity and attention of the guard (Mr. Alexander Stewart) the coach was driven at full speed till they reached a house within seven miles of Arbroath, where in about four minutes after, she was safely delivered of a fine child, MURDER.—On Sunday evening, two servants of Hervey fellard, Esq.
