• ~ .. .. ~ FEBRUARY. And now comes February ; The first dint link that blends hoar Winter With the timid Spring, that like a blushing bride Advances trembling ; uncertain if His last expiring sigh, may not e'en yet Swell out into a storm, and blast the rose-buds In her pale gold hair : Or if his darkling frown - and peevish rage Nay not compel her from her lawful reign! Men hype, and soon rejoice; Stern Winter growls his last ; and smiling Spring Comes trippingly—passes away, and Golden Summer comes: then Autumn's yellow leaf, Then, Winter &ear again. Still Man rerices Because he lives !—Because hc wakes each day To life, and belt, and health—Because he sees the sun, The earth, the sea • Nature trick'd out in holiday array, Or gloomily attiedin sombre hue, Yet, ever beautiful, and ever young. /aloe, too, lov'd to look upon the Sun ! But now " it likes me not ;" his splendour seems To tri , cl. my wretchedness. Ido not love To look upon the sky when it is blight and golden ; But, when black clouds, Cbas'd by the eddying currents of th' air, Drive swiftly o'er it ; when they hang low or dim, And hide the mountain tup: , i n r . mistly float Midway, as %w e re, between the earth and sky The sea I love to look upon ; Not when 'di calm, but when the wild waves, &kid by the wilder winds, rise aggravated, Foam, and spring upwards on each other's backs, As.tho' they'd mount to Heaven, while the dearning storm Lauder and louder roars, as Were in mockery Of the frantic waters! Scenes like these I can regard. The strife and tempest Of the elements, I love ; I've that within which corresponds But brightness and sunshine, green leaves And blooming flowers, and Natute's gorgeous smile — These make me heart-sick, and I inward shrink Where all is stern and cold, horror and blank despair! • • • • ROY AL ACADEMY OF MUSIC. Saturday last, a Concert (being the first this season) was performed by the Pupils of the Royal Academy of Music, under the direction of Mr. Boats*. The im provement they have made since we last heard them is very great; and the manner they acquitted themselves on this occasion must have been highly gratifying both to their patrons and their instructors. The Orchestra consisted of about twenty Students, some of whom appeared to be no more than ten years of age ; yet, with the exception of trumpets, trombones, bassoons, and double basses, every part was complete. The Concert opened with HAYDN'S Symphony in D, led with great spirit by Master Szvsroutt ; the precision with which it was executed was truly wonderful, and drew forth universal marks of approbation. We shall not enumerate the different pieces as they were per formed ; CIMAROSA'S Quartetto, " Sento in petto;' PAsn's Serenata, 0/1 nate," Mozaaes Sestetto from Don Giovanni, "Sala, rola" were sung by Misses BELLCHAUSERS, PORTER, iVATSON, GRANT, CHAN• CELLort, Masters C. LUCAS, and C. F. PACKER, in a very respectable manner; and the accompaniments wete exquisitely performed by the band, which by pro fessors is considered a very difficult task. A novel Quartetto was performed, Miss BELLCHAM• altns singing—Ma:te - W. 11. Puirra on the piano forte, F. NIRLSON on the harp, and T. MAwKZS on the violin: the bills stated it to be by MOSCHELES, MAY SEDER, and Boer's*, bat we conclude that most of the credit is due to the latter composer, who arranged it. The Quartetto conisted of three or four cantabile stan zas, sweetly sung by Miss J. BELLCHAMRRRS, with in termediate symphonies selected from the works of the different Masters mentioned, each being a brilliant Solo, extremely well executed, particularly the Violin Solo, by Master MAwKES, whose beautiful tones, and chaste, yet ' onderful execution, elicited the loudest plaudits. After a duetto by Messrs. Lycra and C. S. PAcw, the young aspirants performed the Overture to Der Freischtes, led by young MAGROVII with uncommon spirit and effect; the forte passage, at the change front the minor to the major, was given with a force that quite astonished the audience. Young LUCAS per formed a difficult solo on the violoncello,. and Miss CHANCICLLOI a comerte on the piano-forte, extremely well. blr. Boma pre sided at the piano-forte, and the erudite professor, Dr. Curve_ ,n teolt•the violoncello, which, by the bye, he placed on his right sidilt on mentioning this to a friend; he observed, that the worthy Doctor had the art and science of music so muck at his command, that be could band it about from right to left ad. lib. We look upon this Institution as fully established, and consider it as an excellent nursery for orchestral performers; and we hope to see a succession of CSASILSS, Moats, Looters, NICBOLSOUS, employed at our Operas and Concerts, which is the principal object of the Academy. • „. MARSH, STRACEY, AND CO.—At a Meeting of the creditors of this firm, on Friday last, it was determinqd to commence legal proceedings against the Trustees of a Mrs. Disney, for the recovery of the amount (80001. or 400(X.) which she had received upon a policy of as surance illegally assigned to her by the late Henry Fauntlei oy ; and the creditors also consented that the Assignees should have power to cornpromi,e a debt of 44,0001. due to the estate, from a Mr. Thomas,a brick maker, for 21,0001. payable iu eighteen months. In England, the supply of Oak Bark is so inadequate to the demand, that the tanneties in the vicinity of London alone use annually from 7,000 to 8,000 tons of foreign bark, at an expense of 141. per ton. A shut time ago two brothers, named Nicholson, respectable engravers at Liverpool, were bitten by a dog, in their own house.* As a measure of precaution, they had the parts cut out by a surgeon, and the wounds healed. On Wednesday te'nniglit, however, one of the brothers was seized with symptoms of hydrophobia, which continued to increase in spite of the remedies used by the medical attendants; and on Saturday morning, the unfortunate man expired, in a state of deplorable madness. The situation of his brother, who was bitten by :the same dog, at the same time, may be imagined. . The Leeds Mercury, of Saturday, contains a long and interesting account of the Septennial Festival celebrated at Bracrotd, on Thursd ty latt, in honour of Bishop Blaise, the traJitioaal inventor of-wool-combing. We teglet that we have not room for it. Bishop Blaise was Ose Bishop of Seaasta, in Cappadocia, in the second and third centuries, and was beheaded under Dioclesian, after being whipped, and having his flesh torn with the iron combs of his own invention. The Set jeant-Nlajir of the Rifle Corps now in Can terbury Barracks, whilst looking (sot for the -men a few nights since, went into a public-house, where he Found a man playing upon a fiddle, whom he desired to desist. Some altercation ensued, and the Serjeant- Major, acting as he thought (though it appears erro yecouslr)-in the discharge of his duty, took into custody two citizens of Canterbury. He has since been held to bail by the Mayor, to answer any complaint that may be made against him at the Sessions. DISCOVERY Ot FORGED NOES. A discovery of a singular nature was made on Mon day se'nnight, in a lane of the South Mai*-street, Cork. A woman, named Betty Coleman, who lodged in a miserable apartment in the above lane, died, and in her box were discovered forged notes , to a considerable amount. The circumstance having been communicated to the Mayor, Mr. Sheriff Colburn, and Messrs. Rogers and Hewson, High Constables, proceeded to.the house, and haring obtained the booty, made further search, and it is said that, in another small box, placed under the head of the deceased woman, was found some ad ditional notes, two plates, and a machine for taking off impressions. The woman was an habitual drunkard, and in the practice of' remaining out at night. There is Lttle known of her by the persons in the house where she lodged ; and the opinion entertained is, that she was connected with a gang of forgers, for whom she used to vend this spurious paper. The following is a classification of the forgeries found : Pike's Notes ,C 3 0 0 Notes £586 0 0 Ditto ditto 10 0 0 550 0 0 Leslie's ditto 1 5 0 126 5 0 Ditto ditto 1 14 1 i 17 1 3 Kink of Ireland 5 0 0 145 0 0 Other Notts 20 5 0 £1,474 11 3 Letters have been received from St. Helena to the 121 h of December. They mention the strange contrast between the place during the time of NAPOLEON . s confinement there, and the dull state in which it now appears. Letters from Pernambuco, dated the 23d of Dec. bring an account of the complete termination of the insurrection in that province. Most of the Chiefs of the Republican party were in custody, and were undergoing a trial before a Military Commission, and it was supposed that their lives would be forfeited. Ac cording to the statements in those letters, the indivi duals who fomented those insurrections were chiefly actuated by the love of plunder, and were influenced by no patriotic motives for effecting a reformation in the Government. About 700 more of the Insurgents were in prison at Govana, and vessels were preparing to convey them to Rio, to await the EMPEROR'S will. The insurgents from Bahia were also to be sent to the capital. They were to sail in the first instance from Bahia to Pernambuco on the 6th of January, and or ders had been given to disarm them as soon as they should come to as anchorage. A file of the Diario Flu►ninense has brought intelli gence from Rio Janeiro to the 15th of December. A decree issued on the 7th of December, orders that medals be given to the soldiers of the co-operating army, for the great services which they had performed, in restoring order to the province of Pernambuco. Dis patches from that province were received at Rio on the 14th, which stated that it enjoyed the greatest. tran quillity, and that the Constitution had been generally sworn to. In the province of Cara, however, some opposition had been made, but the Chiefs of the Rebels having " fallen pierced with musket balls, and the corps which they commanded having been dispersed," all opposition had naturally ceased, and the authority of the EMPEROR had been fully recognized. Ireland will be the subject of special discussion in both Houses of Pailiament on Thursday evening; for Ithe Lords are summoned for that day, en the Earl of LIVERPOOL'S notice, then to move for the renewal of the Committee to inquiie into the state of Ireland. In the Commons, Mr. GOULBURN is to move for leave to bring in " a Bill to amend certain Acts relating to unlawful Societies in Ireland." The latter motion was to have been preceded by Sir JOHN NEWPORT'S, re garding the levy of the Church Rates in Ireland ; but it WAS last night postpoited. ADVANCE IN IRON.—At a meeting of the Iron-mas ten at Merthyr Tydvil, on Monday' se'nnight, a further advance of 21. per ton upon iron was determined on: Iron is now double the price it was in December, 1823: The Grand Jury of the Court of King's Bench have Found a true bill of indictment for conspiracy against Elizabeth Virginia Perrot, a French milliner, and Vic tor Bertrand, formerly a grocer in the Rue Grenelle Caiolet, in Paris, who, it will be in the recollection of our readers, preferred a bill of indictment against Mr. James Askew, of the firm of Askew and Normanville, late proprietors of a French millinery establishment in Oxford-street and Cheltenham, at the last September Sessions, at the Old Bailey, for an alleged robbery of money and jewellery to a large amount, when Mr. A. was acquitted on the evidence far the prosecution. Saturday, a person named Warren, who keeps a coffee-shop, in St. Giles's, was fined Bs. 6d. for allowing a person to drink coffee in his shop on Sunday morning. The Act says, " No one shall follow any calling from twelve o'clock on'the Saturday night, until after twelve o'clock on the Sunday night. The Middlesex Sessions have declared the late elec tion of a District Surveyor void ; and that office for the parishes of Pancras, Paddington, arid Chelsea, vacant. There are eighty. one prisoners in Limerick county jail for trial at the ensuing Assizes, thirty of whom are for murder, and more than half of the entire charged with capital offences. There are now living in Mellor, nine brothers of the name of Brierley, whose united ages is 552 ; and what is equally remarkable, that since the death of their father and mother, a period of 53 years, not a death has occurred in the family. A kind of waggon, called an arabat, with latticed windows at the sides, formed to conceal those who are within, is almost the only species of carriage in use among the Turks. The following is an extract of a letter from an Officer of the Madras Artillery, serving with the army at Chit tagong, dated August 1, 1824 :—" The Burmese have mustered .50,000 men—they are fifty miles distant— but in consequence of the country between us being for the most part inandated, we shall not be able to ad vance before the middle of October. Our army will then amount to about 27,000 men ; 15,000 will ad vance towards Ramrno, and , which we have no doubt will be a sufficient force to teach them a lesson to be have better in future ; 12,000 will be left in reserve.— ' Not long ago their whole army fell upon 350 of our poor fellows, and cut them in pieces : three Officers only escaped, two of them wounded. The inhabitants lof this place, upon hearing that the Burmese were ad vancing towards them, quitted it immediately, leaving their furniture behind, which has been a fortunate cir cumstance for us, as we have been, able to stow our selves away in their forsaken houses. Our living, to say the least of it, does not consist of a great variety— ducks and Jowls one. day, and finds aod ducks the next; and bad water at every meal. Anything 'else we are . obliged to get (tom Calcutta, 400 miles distant." POLICE INI74.tIOEYII4:*'• BOW-STRRET. nee, Fenn, AND PH, 'sc.—Yesterday another dramatic author applied to the Magistrate for protection against the resentment of Mr. Elliman ! The applicant, in this case, was a small, delicately made gentleman, of pensive aspect, with a slender circlet of musta chery entirely surrounding the entrance of his victuallhsvoifice and his tout ensemble gave melancholy: proof that he had taken more of Fsatune's be ills than of her rewards. He had some difficulty in king his way to the table through the crowd of more robust ap plicants; and when he had accomplished this, he addressed the Ma gistrate in these words : . " My name, Sir, is Webb ; lam a su r g eon, and author of a i f Manual Medicine, which has been presented to his Majesty. But that is nothing to the purpose, for my present business has relation only to Mr. Elliston. You may probably recollect, Sir, that at the time of Thurtelts horrible affair, the science o& phrenology made much noise in the world. In consequence of what was then said of that science, I wrote a Farce, which I called " The Phrenologist," and I presented it to Mr. Elliston for his approval. It is not for me, Sir, to say anything of the merits of that Farce, but after repeated applications to him on the subject, it was returned to me at the door of his dwelling-house by a servant girl, who added to the mortifica tion by returningit with a sneering giggle : which Mr. Elliston may perhaps call civility, for he is extremely ingenious, as your Worship is, no doubt, very well aware. The Magistrate (Mr. HALLS), observed, that these were matters with which he bad nothing to do; and requested Mr. Webb to state at once what was his object in applying to him. Mr. Webb then went on to state, that a letter signed X.Y.Z. having appeared in a Morning Paper, commenting on Mr. Kean, he (Mr. Webb) had replied to that letter in his own name; in which reply he introduced Mr. Elliston 's conduct touching the Farce of " The Phrenologist," and in consequence he had received what he considered a very threatening note from Mr. Elliston. " And here it is, Sir, " be continued—" sent open by the post;— agreeably to Ur. Eliston's delicate mode of doing things. He then handed the note to his Worship, and added," I conceive, Sir, it contains a threat of personal violence; and, as I have written.. some works against the cant and hypocrisy of the age—and particu larly of Parliament, which works may probably be prosecuted; 1 am anxious to go into Court with clean hands, by 'hewing publicly before you that I am a man of peaceable ch aracter, seekin g for protect ion." " Really, Sir," said the Magistrate, when he bad read the note, " I do not see that he threatens you with nianagerial ire—which may be a very dreadful thing for aught I know, but I should rather think it would be as harmless as theatrical thunder. At all events the threat is only conditional ; for he says here, you interfere I with my concerns, I shall inflict such portion of my resentment upon u, as, upon fur th er inquiry, your conduct may appe ar to merit. You have only, therefore, to attend to the v if,' to be perfectly safe, i I should think ; and at the worst, as I said before, you have nothing to fear but a little theatrical thunder—unless, indeed, he should launch a bolt at you ; and thee— " And then 1 would repel it with nay stick!" said Mr. Webb— finishing the sentence in his own way, and holding up a decent bit of a shelalagh, nearly as thick as his own arm. " No, Sir !" said his Worship, " in such an extreme case yOu had better come here, and you shall be protec ted." Mr. Webb then bowed his thanks, and withdrew—grasping his cudgel, and seeming not much afraid of anything. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Yesterday, a woman, named Mary Keaton, was brought to this Office, from St. Giles's watch-house, before .Sir Geonos Fess/ars and Mr. CeaAnT, sitting Magistrates, upon a charge of murdering her husband. The Office and all the approaches to it were crowded in a great degree, in consequence of the expected ex amination of the prisoner. The following were the depositions, as taken before the Magistrates : William Moore, a labourer,deposed, that he lodged at the No. t, Lascelles-court, Broad-street, St.Giles's, and was acq with the deceased, and his wife, the prisoner at the bar. About half-past twelve o'clock on Sat urday night the prisoner came to his lodgings, and requested him, for GOD'S sake, to go over and try to pacify her husband, who had been quarrelling with her. Witness did accordingly go over to No. 5, in the same court, exactly oppo- site ; and the street-door being open, he knocked at the parlour door, where the deceased lodged, but received no answer. He then went in, and saw the deceased lying on his back on the floor: there was a fire and a candle in the room. On seeing blood near the do ceased's head, witness immediately ran across for his wife and the prisoner to come over, which they did; and witness then, with their assistance, endeavoured to lift the deceased from the ground, but the moment be was raised up a quantity of bleed spouted from his head over witness's face. Rime's, then, finding that the man, although warm, appeared to be in a dying state, went off as fast as be could for a surgeon. He went to several places, but at all be was unsuccessful, and was ultimately obliged to return to the de ceased without any medical assistance. The man now appeared fast approaching dissolution, if not already dead, and the prisoner, who exclaimed the bad murdered her husband, and witness's wife, were Kill with him. Witness then alarmed the neighbourhood, and a number of persons, together with the watchman and patrol, came to the spot. The prisoner appeared to the witness to be intoxicated when she came to bed. John Hardman, conductor of the Night Patrol, said, that between twelve and one o'cleek on Sunday morning, as be was on dusty, passing through.Brcrad.street, he heard the spring of a watelimeO l a tattle, and proceeding in the direction, he found it to be io !atilse-c our t, where there was a great number of persons celeste's and he was informed there had been a man murdered. He image. diately entered the house pointed oat to him, and on going into the' parlour, be saw a man stretched on the floor, and the prisoner es' her knees, near the fire-place, clenching her hands, and exclaiming, that she had murdered her husband. Witness saw a quantity of clotted blood upon the floor, near the head of the deceased, on..the back of which there ap2eared to be two wounds, and on the floor lay a poker and fire shovel, and the handle of a sweeping brash t. which was broken in pieces • on the latter, there was a quantity of blood and hair. Witness as ked the prisoner what she had struck' her husband with? and she replied, with the handle of the brush. (These different weapons, as well as a large street-shovel , foun d in the place, were here produced, and appeared to be in the state de scribed by the witness. -The Magistrates gave directions that the stains - upon them should not be removed, but kept in the pine state as they were at present). Witness said, that be then took the prisoner into custody, and conveyed her to the watch-house. John Wright, one of the pariah beadles , deposed, that when the prisoner was brought to the watch-house, she continued to exclaim that she had murdered her husband; and on bearing the situation the man was in, witness proceeded to the house, where he found a crowd of persons, and the deceased stretched upon the floor, appa rently quite dead. Furzman, the watch-house-keeper of St. Giles's, deposed, that when the prisoner was brought to the watch-house, she voluntarily told him, in the utmost agony and distress, that she feared she had seriously injured the best of husbands. Sir GroatexFAILILiNT asked if the surgeon who had examined the deieased was in attendance? and being answered that he was not, the case was ordered to stand over for rettamination oil a fu ture day.—The prisoner, who is a middle-aged woman, continued to weep, in the loudest manner, during the whole of the examine thin, and paciaiming " that she wettedd death a thousand times, fdt ihjuridg so good a husband !" Site at last became so exhausted, that the Magistrate ordered that a chair should be supplied her, which was done. Sir Geosca FARRANT,before remanding her, asked if she wished to say anything? In reply she said, that she had nothing further to say than what she had said to Mr. Furzman. Her husband and Itteself have always lived upon the best terms, and never bad A quarrel before that night—he was an Irishman, and she was mar- I ried to him about three years ago, at Stepney Church. Sir G space said that it was to be lamented, if giving way to violent passions hid brought her to her present situation. The un happy woman was then removed front the bat, sobbing loudly and bitterly as she went out. - TIM OCCULT SCOINCIS.—An old hag named Harriet Frewen, one of the tipsy tribe, was charged with a violation of a very salu tasy statute, which was passed for the purpose of putting an end to the frauds practised by vagrants, who impose upon the foolish and weak part of the community under the pretence of telling their fortunes. The prisonek was charged by Mr. Dixey, of Bond-street, who discovered her practising upon his servant girl, in the kitchen, n Thursday night, about eight u'cluck. The face proved In evi dence against the accused, were these :—She was passing by the area of the prosecutor's house, and saw his servant girl--a pretty, plump, pouting lipped girl--standing by the kitchen door, singing " Nobody coming to marry me," dtc. She said to her—" My dear, shall I tell you your fortune, shouldn't you like to know who is to be your husband ?" The girl replied," 'that I should; and I think my young mistreis would like ta know something about a husband." This was a sufficient introduction for the Gipsy , and she proceeded to the kitchen. The servant girl ran to inform her young mistress • but it appears she is a sensible young Lady , and chid the girl mistress; her fay., She returned to the Gipsy, and informed he r that bet '. ht . iettreas was offended. Tbp G i p s y said, " Well. my brie, PP/ never mind, it will be a long time befine she is married ; but I Will tell you how fortunate you will be. I see lucky smelts abiAtt 'Mee !And and you wilibate ban tOiOnit in le ss than a month." The Oliva overjoyed, and was proceed ins to pot fordter•quesdios se is her m t iffrise; ttni sod gai-HS • -j .! fortone-teller into custody.—The Magistrate commh it'd the prinisolhi'; to thi tread-mill for cne itionth, and said if was 4 pity that she, wall could lintel the, fottunei of others, was so short.sighttei t with rvgiee to her own. t NENCODIEN'S BANIC.. -A very numerous and resp a e " able meeting of the creditors was held on Friday, the late Bankinghouse, pursuant to adverti meat, ao . a receive the report of the Committee appointed an former day, to investigate the state of the'.ack-mus s= =' Mr. Vandeleur was in the C hair. .Mr: one" the Committee, read the Report, as also a schedule, by which the debts of the bank were stated to amount tr 281,6631. 18s.

Wednesday (being Candlemas Day) Gaoaoa Friftlik Esc!. the junior Jurat, was chosen Mayor of Hythe. fkiel the ensuing year. This is the first civic election , a place, for a considerable number of years, which hae created any stir; the Jurats being generally am:Wilted to the Mayoralty in rotation. Early in the morn ing, a number of out-dwelling Freemen (who compoire • a majority of about 15 to 1) arrived, and partook of, a sumptous breakfast, provided by the liberality of Mr. GEORGE SHIPDEM ; and on proceeding to the place of election, when summoned by the " 800 oo•woop ' of the antique horn, the ancient call of the poi t, it was found, by the exhilarated shouts of approbation which followed the nomination, that any attempt to rem the torrent of freemen's power was unavailing; and no. counter, nomination took place. ROBERT FINNIS, Esq.. was then appointed Deputy Mayor, and W. TRITTOW. Esq. Chamberlain.—Tne Corporation dined together. after business, at the Swan Inn. PORT Wisc.—The number of pipes of wine ex ported from . Oporto to foreign countries during the la.t year was 26,724, of which 19,968 to England, 5,293 to Buenos Ayres, 648 to North America, 253 to Cayenne. 138 to Russia, 120 to Bengal, 90 to Holland, 72 to' Hamburgh, 43 to Denmark, 36 to Gibraltar, 24 to Sweden and the Baltic, 11 to Prussia, 7-to Newtoun land, 8 to Spain, 2to France, 1 to Genoa, 1 to Trieste.' ADECDOTE.—Sir Robert Walpole, it is well known, was of a convivial turn, and a great admirer of wit and humour. An innkeeper in the neighbourhood of Houghton Hall, who was distinguished for his readiness at repartee, was patronized by Sir Robert, who fre quently ordered a dinner for himself and friends at the inn, and always iuvited the landlord to jrrin the com pany after dinner. On one occasion, au old Norfolk Baronet, dull and ignorant, jealous of the favour which the landlord received, remonstrated with Sir Robert upon admitting such a companion. Sir Robert ex cused himself on account - of the good character of the man, and on hii Mind, so superior to his situation ; and the landlord modestly observed, that if Sir Robert tolerated his presence, he thought the Baronet had no reason to object. All the answer of the Baroi et was, " Poh ! your father was a butcher." " Well," rejoined the landlord, " there is no great difference between your father and mine, for if my father killed cakes, your's brought them up." This sally highly gratified the company, but the dull old Baronet, insensible of the joke, vehemently exclaimed, " What do you make my father a grazier?"—This anecdote used to be elated by the celebrated Dr. Moncey, of Chelsea.Hospital,- who practised as a physician at the time.in Norfolk, and who was present on the occasion. At Limerick, the Lady of Parker, Esq. i MARRIED.
