Lon is a plant of holier birth Than aught that takes its root on earth; A Sower from Heaven, which 'tis a crime To number with the things of time. Hope in the bud is often blasted, And beauty on the desert wasted, And joy, a primrose, early gay, Care's lightest footfall treads away! But love shall live, and live for ever; And chance and change will reach it never. Can hearts in which true love is plighted, By want or woe be disunited? Ab, no! like buds on one stem born. They share between them e'en the thorn, Which round them dwells, but parts them not, A torn yet undivided lot! Can death extinguish love, or part Tpe loy'd.one from the lover's heart? ,No, no! he does but guard the prize . Sacred from mortal injuries, Making it purer, hillier seem. As the ice closing o'er tie means, Keeps (while storms nvage earth and air) All baser things from mingling there! KENSINGTON CANAL. Yesterday being his Majesty's birth-day, it was set; spa t for the op. ning nt t sis canal. At an early hour an immense number of per•ons, chiefly inhabitants f Kensington an.l the adjacent villages, were congregated on the ha. ks to witness the ceremony. At two o'clock the R.ght Honourable Lord KIINSINGTON, and a num ber of friends to tie undertaking, embarked in a st.tely barge at B. t rsea.blitige, and proceeded up the canal, accompanied by a number of craft loaded with timber. coals, sand, breeze, &c. tl e first fruits of the concern. Tne whole party entered the basin amidst the cheers f the mul.itudes assembled, the band on board, playing " God save the King." The canal tuns from the Thames, near Battersea bridge, directly north two males and a quarter, terminating close to the great Western road, half a mile distant horn Kensington palace ; it is 100 feet broad, and capable of affirding passage for craft of 100 tons burden ; the basin is 400 feet long by 200 broad, .and is situated in the most thriving and healthy part of the town. This canal.l which is the only water conveyance to Kensington, has been completed at the expense of about 40,0001. and its income is orn what fs, tonnage,&c. is calculated at about 2,5i)01. per annum; by it the drainage of Kensington will b• decreased seven feet. In the evening the friends of the undertaking sat down to a sumf tuous dinner at the King's Arms, Lord Kesel %erne in the Chair. By his L )rdship's command, .and chiefly at his expense, a substantial dinner,, with a butt of porter, was also given to about 200 of tb workpeople. VAUXHALL GARDENS. The Anniversary of the Birth of our beloved Sova %MN, the Patron of these Royal Gardens, was last night celebrated here, by a Gal.. which for splendour and magnificence has nut on any similar occasion been equalled. By a fortunate arrangement, the Proprietors were spared the pains and the lose that would irave /imbed from the opening of the Gardena on the preceding very in element night, and were enabled to avail themselves of one of the tom evenings with which we have been blest this lemons to (vie' prate, by a Grand Fete, his acme?* Natal day. To our Readers who hare witnessed the illuminations of this Fairy land, some idea of is increased splendour will be eonveyed, by informing them, that no fewer than twenty thousand additional lamps were last night displayed, formed into trophies, devices, ackievemeats,mottos. keg-Taman( which shone conspicuously " Our Royal Patroo's Natal day" M variegated lamps of more than usual maggnitade. A bsdhsnt Star in the King's walk was particularly admired. To, those who have never been at Vauxhall, it would be ablaut ilk passible to convey a just picture of the dazzling refulgency of the iliuminatious, the brilliancy of the gorgeous decorations, the natural beauty of the scene, and, consequently, of the enchanting effect of Abort oosnbinations. The nurner3us entertainments provided pro- welled with rapidity, yet in must admirable order—in fact, from the instant when the doors were thrown open until the bell rang to announce that the fire-works were about to commence. there was ass a moment's pause between the amusements, and into the spirit of all the company assembled fully entered. Although rads was admirable in its kind, we cannot refrain from remarking that on no previous evening did the Vaudeville afford so much pleasure to the audience, nor . frem bearing testimony to the taste, tale" and spirit displayed by Mr. T. Cones. His performance on the violin of the beautiful Irish meMdy Megy Asters, woad alone entitle him to rank with the first perfermeis of the'age. At the termination of the Concert the entire of the Vocal Corps appeared in the orchestra, and sung the National Anthem, amid the bedew plaudits and expressions of affection foe our beloved Ileaarch. The fireworks (by Sommer) were on a splendid scale; and, bitheir number and excellence, did equal credit to the libera. Sty oldie Proprietors and the ability of the Artist. The promenade presented an assemblage of beauty and fashion far beyond what might have been expected at this season of the year. The Lottery Gifts were considerably augmented, and nicety $ party, as they presented their. tickets to be drawn, evinced no little pleasure ea receiving a prize entitling them to admission and sapper on the following evening.. One person, on receiving a prize of six dozen of wine, indiscriminately invited those Who thought proper to come and help him to drink it. We need scarcely say, be found customers plenty and willing; in thou, the prizes were an numerous that the old lottery puff of " MI Prizes and No Blanks," was in fact realized last evening. During the Fireworks, which were of the most brilliant description, for which Vauxhall is fainei all over the world, several fire balloon? were let off, which, as they rose majtstically.through the darkness of the night, received the cheers of the crowds who witnessed their ascension. The whole of the snuassisieuu went off with the greatest ever, aided by the fownew of the evening, which we may congratulate • the Proprioters von, considering the late wet weather, and at the same time. bestow sue jest need of praise for the liberal and enterprising manatee they have gets op throughout the upon. ' The sapper atoms sod boxes were crowded throughout the night with a succession of happy occupants, who, in sparkling Champagne, drank " Health and lung life to the King." In &TOM, we have sever seen the Birth day of his Meanly celebrated wltb mere of (vivid loyalty t►an by the 5,000 happy ♦isitants of Vauxhall last eight. ile animas were the company to prolong the enjoyntem of this dengistiol festival, %kat the morning was far advanced ere the gardens were entirely cleared.

ST. DUNSTANS - 1N THE WEST. ' This Church, on I f the most ancient in the City of London, has been lately di,covered to he in such a de cayed and unsafe state, thtt a partial. it not a general, re-building of it must take place. The date of the foundation of St. Dunstan's in the West is not well ascertained. We learn, h.,wever, that it was given by the Abhor and Convent of Westminster, in whoce gift it was then, to Henry the Third, in the year 1237, towards the maintenance of the house called the Rolls, fur the reception of converted Jews. This establishment was erected by Henty,in the place where stood the hi:line of a Jew, fotfeited to the Crown • for some misttemeanour in 1233; but in the year 129(), all the Jews being banished the kingdom. and the uses of the houses much diminished, in 1377 it was annexed by patent to the keeper of the Rolls of Chancery, in which public service it has ever since remained. St. Dunstan's was one amongst the very few churches that escaped the dreadful conflagration of 1666, and has, from time to time, since that period, been-altered and repaired at very considerable expense, and has cost much more to .keep up an unseemly, ill-placed, and decayed structure, than would have erected an elegant. convenient, and durable building. 'So late as the year 1820,- a very considerable sum was expended in repairing and beautifying the exterior, and since that period it was considered to have then undergone so thorough as inspection. as to do away with any fears lot its safety. Some short time since, how• ever, symptoms of decay were perceived in one of the. pillars at the north west end f the Church, which, on' inspection, turned out not to be of a dangerous nature; :but in consequence of the notice this circumstance at tracted) it was considered necessary by the authorities. that a general sad minete survey of the whole of the Church should be held. This was accordingly done, and in stripping off the plaster from the beams suppoit ing the roof, the whole of them were found to be com pletely destroyed by the dry rot, and in such a state as almost to crumble to dust at the slightest pressure. The whole of the wood work of the rodf; to believe, is in the same state. The lower parts of the building &owe - appear to have suffered in any thing like.an equal , degree as the top, andit may not be perhaps necessity: should it be the determination of the proper authoritie s to continue the church in its present site, to do more than pull down the walls to a level with the Boors nt ' the galteries, re build them, and put on a fresh roof. There is quite room sufficient, however, to throw back the front of the church to a line with the eastern part rf Hest-street. without by any means contracting its present dimensions, -mould such a measure be deemed advisable. Divine Service has been discontinued for some time in St. Dunstan's, though other church duties have been :iithesto culled on there as usual.

INVERNESS. A labouring man, of the name of James Macpherson a sawyer, aped 34, expired hereon Sunday morning, in consequence of excessive drinking on the previous even ing. Macpherson, his brother, and another preacin were walking neat-vie Chapel-yard, when they were accosted by a fourth person, who asked Sherri to adjourn to a public h•buse to drink; they accoritingly wept to Hector Mackintosh's, at the Shiite, and orderei a gill of whisky and a bottle of small beer. While the Macphersons were thinking this. moderate allow ance, the man oho had offered to treat them te tired to the other end of the house, and ordered a bottle of porter and a mutchkin of whisky. These he mixed together in a decanter, and showily afterwards ordered the militate to be brought into the room by the servant girl. That they might not discover the trick, be took up the remainder of the gill of whiskyos hich was in a glass on the tahle,and poured it into the decanter b. f u e them : believing that there was no mote spin its in the por ter than this small portion, the men drank off the bottle in a few minutes, and in this way .three bottles of po ter and three inutchkins of whisky were speedily emptied. They entered the house at ball past six o'clock, and by eight they had drunk the whole; the imams part was taken by the deceased, and its effects were in bis case greatly aggravated by his having taker% little or no food during the day, and being at the time much f rtigued by his day' lay our. The fellow who had played off this wan ton unjustifiable trick. took care to drink little or none of ttie delete , iorls mixture himself, and the third person was also cautions; The two Macphersons, however, having indulged freely, were rendered completely insensible. On leaving the house. one fell-down at the door. and was put to bed ; the deceased staggered a short distance up the shore, but soon fell, and was taken to Fergus Mac donalses public-house; there he lay about six hours, wholly speechless, when Fe expired.. An investigation into ee case was made by the Procurator Fiscal, when Dr. Forbes, who attended Macpherson previous to his de cease, deposed that his death was occasioned by indulging WI the deleterious mixture desci ibed, it a time v hen his system was rendered mote sir-ceptible than usual by fatigue and privation of ((sod. The servant girl of the public house substantiated what we have already stated as to the quantity and quality of the drink. A man from Lochend narrowly escaped a similar fate on Wed nesday lalt. by swallowing a large dose of whisky. from the effects of which he was rescued by the timely administration of vinegar—a good specific, we believe, in clues of thi s description. . i . • • 5M EDWARD CODRINOToII.—Me have been assured from a quarter. where-great reliance may ; be placed, that Sir EDWARD'. fettleg to. this country was the con sequence of a resignation. tendered. from i s b own free will, and not a compulsory act of the .

When Silt Joust Gotta was sent out to MAlte to obtain from Sir EDWARD all the .partitolars relative ,to the ' battle at Navarin, which appeared to the Ministers ne cessary to be laid befoce..Plaliament,Sir e Erawann felt hurt at a proceeding which he could not look upon in any other light than as implying doubts on the pi opt let, of his conduct on that occasion.. Conscious of having, tilled adoty prescribed to him by. the spnit of hi. in : :tractions, Sir EDWARD thoughthecould no longer con tinue a command an which great responsibility was made to rest on himself ; and, subsequently to.the return of Sir JOHN GOR 11, he determined to teniain inactive until he learned the fate of a dispatch. he had ad. dressed to the. HIGH ADAHRAL •nti the subject. The laces Speech at the opening f Parliament reached him,, however, before the answer from Vie Admiralty, and the equivocal approbat on. bestowed-on his conduct by some of the expressions in that speech, determined him at once to to odor his resiratiou.
