Accept, Great Man ! a bumble bard's easy, Ws cheerful tribute of applause to pay ; For U applause be well-known merit's due. The' you not court it, yet it ffies to you : ♦Wen all the world combine to praise thy name. Who can forbear to weave the wreath of Fame? In days of yore, when scarce one art was known, And Science marked but few to call her owns Should some great mind inventive then produce Aught for his country's benefit or use, With genuine pride that searehful mind was hailed, Acd genial honour on his name entailed And does not TURNER'S ever-honour'd name, Deserve an equal meed of honest fame? Does not that name above his compeers rite, And claim th' applause of all beneath the skies? Yes! who like him prepares that wondrous hue That plants such gloss on every boot and shoe? Whose Black like his can with the mirror vie, Or give such polish'd shade of sable die ? None I Taunts, here thou dolt unrivall'd stand, ud, long as honour smiles along the land, Eke shall be thine!—her chaplet long shall bloom, And o'er thy genius breathe its mild perfume ; Truth shall be proud great TOINIIt'S name to praise, And save his memory from oblivion's maz CLAREMONT. The permission so kindly given by his Royal High ness Prince LEOPOLD to the public, to visit the house, park, and gardens of Claremont, during his absence on the Continent, continues to induce the influx of immense crowds from all parts of the country to the', village of Esher, from whence to the park gate it is but a short walk. During the last week the roads' leading to the village presented an unprecedented appearance of gaiety and bustle, and to those unac quainted with the object of attraction, would lead to the conclusion that some extraordinary festival was about to be celebrated. On no former occasion, per haps, did the innkeepers of Esher reap a harvest so ample as they are now gathering. Not a room in any house devoted to the accommodation of the pub lic, bed-room or otherwise, is to be found, which is not crowded with parties of all ranks, vieing with each other in search of refreshments, which cannot be obtained in sufficient abundance to satisfy all ; and thus many are destined to depart without being able to gratify any other appetite than that of curi osity. The stables, too, are utterly inadequate to the nception of the horses which are collected on the s:lot, and which are consequently, like their masters, but too frequently deprived of that refreshment which their labours demand. There were other dis appointments, however, which were productive of more unpleasant sensations than the mere temporary want of food ; and these arose from persons arriving at the desired spot, and at the very threshold of gra tification, without being prepared with tickets of-ad mission, which arc absolutely necessary to gain an entrance even at the outer gate of the Park. To avoid, this inconvenience, it is only necessary to write a let ter to Mr. Pitiful's, the house steward, who is iesi• dent on the premises, and who never fails to grant the necessary ticket. There is, however, a distinc tion in the tickets which it may be proper to notice. Some only entitle the bearers to admission to the Fork and Gardens, while others include the House. The principle upon which this distinction is made it i; not difficult to understand ; but the fact not being generally known, produced some dissatisfaction, and led to observations upon what was termed an invi dious and mortifying selection of persons, which upon such an occasion it might besdesirable to pre vent. It is, perhaps, only reqtrisite to give a hint on this subject to prevent similar occurrences in future. It is but dee to state, that the reception of those who arc attracted to these delightful scenes, rendered sa cred by the melancholy catastrophe of which they have been the theatre, is most polite and attentive. Upon your arrival at the park ,fate you present your ticket, which generally authofises the admission of yourself lnd friends to the porter, who upon register ing your name as a visitor, and returning the ticket, directs you the way to the house, which is situated nearly in the centre of the park. The building itself stands upon an eminence, with an elegant portico in front, to which you ascend by a flight of stone steps. On reaching the entrance, you arc received by seve ral pages in waiting, who, on examining yens ticket, and ascertaining your title to admission within the walls, introduce you to the first of a suite of four rooms, furnished in a style of great neatness and tacteful elegance, hut exhibiting nothing of that mag nificence which might be supposed to belong to a royal residence. The first room is a parlour on the right of the hall, in which there are many cabinets and tablets of'curious workmanship; the walls are adorned principally with portraits, the most conspi cuous of which are the full length portraits of Prince I.cosoi,n and her Royal Highness the Princess CHAR.. LOTTE, which are situated opposite to each other at the ends of the room. There are also in this room her late Royal Highness's harp and piano. Mention. is made of some music of her Royal Highness's own copying, having been, in the first instance, open to inspection ; but this is no longer to be seen. We un derstand the execution of these copies is most exqui site. Each piece is accompanied by a drawing, also the work of her Royal Highness, illustrative of the character of the performance, whether serious or gay ; and this generally consists of the human figure, represented in some situation appropriate to the idea meant to be conveyed. From this chamber you pass into the dining-room, of which the furniture is ex tremely plain ; over the chimney-piece is a full length portrait of his MAJESTY. You next come to t:te library : this room is fitted up with book-cases, containing some of the best works of ancient and modern literature. There are several pedestals, on which are placed specimens of sculpture, and a great many casts and busts. Among the latter, the bust of the Princess CHARLOTTE is most prominent. The walls are adorned with engravings of persons who have distinguished themselves in modern times, and at one end of the room stands a full-length portrait of the Duchess of BRUNSWICK. Returning again to the hall, you are lastly ushered into a second par lour, or withdrawing-room, the furniture, hangings, and walls of which are of a bright yelow. There are here also some excellent portraits, the moist at tractive of which is a half-length likeness of the sister of Prince LEOPOLD, which is characterised not alone by great beauty, but by a sweetness of expression which is more easy to be conceived than described. Here ends the inspection of the house: these are the only apartments exhibited. There are four other rooms on the same floor, but these are not open to public inspection ; they consist of the bed-mom, in which her Royal Highness breathed her last; her dressing-room, and that of the Prince, and a break fast-room. In the hall there is a handsome billiard table. Each room is attended by a female servant, I who will give every information the visitors may require, and the whole household are attired in deep mourning. From the mansion you are directed to the pleasure grounds, and in this excursion you are attended by a servant, who conducts you to those objects which are most worthy of your attention. You first pro ceed to the back of the house, from whence there is a view of a pleasing vista, between rows of luxuriant trees, whose boughs sweep the sloping lawn ; the lawn terminates with a rural cottage, intended as a music -room, in front of which is a pond, bearing on its silver surface various aquatic birds. From this you are led by a circuitous path to what is called " the Mount ;" this is a hill of considerable elevation, clothed with shrubs and overhanging trees. On the summit is a building called Claremont, from whence the estate takes its title, as appears from an inscrip tion on its Eiont, bearing these words, " And Clare Mont be the name, 1715." This edifice was, no doubt, erected on account of the beautiful prospect which it commands. The view from its summit is extremely fine, and extends over the greater part of the county of Surrey. During the lifetime of the Princess it was fitting up as a conservatory, but this plan was abandoned, a more eligible spot for such a purpose having been selected elsewhere. You are next conducted to the New Conservatory, ' which is not quite completed, but forms a very pleas ing object. From this you proceed, by circuitous paths, throtTli the bosom of a wood to a small and elegant Gothic mausoleum, commenced in the life time of the Princess, and since finished under thel direction of her heart-torn husband. In the centre of this little edifice is a pedestal, which also answers t' e purpose of a stove, and upon which is to be placed a bust of the Princess Cunnxorrz. The, limited character of the surrounding scenery, which is extremely circumscribed, consisting only of the varied hues of ever-greens and forest foliage, the ide-spreading cypress, the yew, and the larch, com bining to make it still more gloomy, renders this place admirably calculated for those contemplations which may be supposed best suited to the nature of the building. _ _ From this spot you arc led through paths bordered by ever-greens, until you suddenly burst upon an extensive circular lake, surrounded by wood, and having in its centre an island covered with foliage, through which it would seem the rays of the sun can scarcely ever penetrate. In making the circuit of this lake, your attention is directed to a little cottage, whleh is the peculiar work of the Princess herself: it bears all the characteristics of rusticity, but at the same time fills the mind with an idea of perfect comfort. In this cottage resides a woman, 80 years of age, who was a favourite object of her Royal Highness's bounty. It appears that this poor old creature haJ, with her husband, lived servant in, successive fami:ies who had formerly occupied this' estate; at length, worn down by age and infirmity,' and unable longer to support herself by labour, she, retired to a miserable little hovel which stood on the site of the present building, where she lived upon occasional contributions from the man! ion-house and the small earnings of her husband. On the arrival of the Princess, Dame BEWLY, as she is called,soon attracted her notice. Her Royal Highness discover ed her residence, and found her endeavouring to read an old Bible, the small print of which, to her enfeebled eyes, was almost indistinguishable. Dame Complained of this, but she complained no more. The next day she received what she consi dered an inestimable treasure, namely, a Bible and, Prayer-book of the largest print, and in a short time (through the same benevolence) her old and shatter ed residence was removed, and the present cottage substitutzd. To offer a word in praise of the heart which directed this change would be superfluous.— The nation has already testified its feelings with re gard to her in whose bosom that heart glowed ; and sure are we, that there is not an individual who listens to the garrulous encomium of poor Dame BEWLY upon her whose loss she, as well as every in habitant of the United Kingdom, deplores, who will net add one more tear to the millions which have already been shed by those who fondly hoped at some future period to be her subjects. From Dame Remy's you pursue your course by the side of the lake through a wild but artificial scene of hanging rocks, and from thence through various lawns and shrubberies, until you once more emerge in front of the mansion. You finally inspect the kitchen-garden and greenhouses, which are only interesting from the recollection of her under whose direction they have arrived at their present state of perfection. The whole excursion occupies about two houts, and although the pleasure to be derived may truly be said to be of a melancholy description, the fond recollection of her who has endeared these scenes to the British heart, as well as the principle upon which that fondness is founded, must, to all I who are capable of a refined sentiment, render a visit to Claremont a gratification of no ordinary kind. The late gallant Captain Sir James Yzo, was dis-1 tinguished by bold and vigorous enterprize, and never , ' ceaseless zeal for the honour and prosperity of his country. The disease which dosed his mortal exist ence, in the 36th year of his age (atrophy, or gene ral debility, not dropsyl, was produced by arduous and anxious service. He bore his affliction and the approach of death, with the destruction of all the hopes and expectations which his ardent mind had formed, with the highest fortitude; and is a body kept alive alone by artificial means for four or five days, he retained his mental faculties until within three or four hours of his final dissolution. His re mains will be interred with all the honours due to his rank, in Portsmouth Garrison Chapel. COAL MARKET, San /. Skips at Market. nips Sad.

On Saturday 41 new pockets were sold at from 10 to 13 guineas. Yealings averaged from £l2 to to 12 guineas. The crops are most abundant, and of excellent quality. The Dumfries Black Cattle Market, last Wednes day, was well supplied with excellent beasts of every description; the prices run very fair, and we have seldom seen heavier cattle exhibited upon the market place at this season of the year. Bristol Fair commenced on Tuesday. There - was but a poor shew of fat cattle, which sold readily from 635. to 6 per cwt. the number of l-an stock not considerable, and many could not find purchasers at any prit e. The supply of skins very short ; the sale of dressing hides and sole leather was very brisk. A gang . of thieves succeeded in reaping a plentiful har vest sn the Fair. For some days past the take of herrings has been very great in the channel nearly opposite to Port patrii.k. Wednesday a great number of boats went into that port deeply laden, and sold their fiish at from is. Gd. to 4s. 6d. an hundred. The total value amount to about 100 W. for one night's fishing . The herrings were purchased for the Dublin and 'Belfast markets, some in barrels, but mostly in bulk, slightly salted. Saturday a spirited horse, which was led by a groom riding on another, kicked a poor boy, abort 10 years of age, whilst crossing the top of the Old Bailey from Skinner-street to Newgate.-street, and broke his leg. The child was conveyed to the hospital. Yesterday morning a fine boy, seven years of age, named Adams, in Shoe-lane, Holborn, attempting to get out of the way of a waggon, was unfortunately jammed between one of the wheels and a post, at the corner of Brewers- yard, Shoe-lane, and crushed so dreadfully, that lie expired on the spot An Inquest was held yesterday at the Rochester- Castle, at Stoke Newington, on the body of J. Work man, son of the Beadle of Newington. The evidence spewed, that the decennia was going across the fields with his father, to bath the New River, when they stopped to look at a party of Gentlemen shooting pigeons. By some accident the fowling piece of one of the Gentlemen went off, and wounded the de ceased in the thigh. It was purely accidental, and the Gentleman expressed the greatest regret- at the unfortunate circumstance. The deceased died in consequence of a locked jaw, brought on by the wound. Verdict—Accidental Death. Tuesday last, as Mr. R.Ward and his brother were proceeding in a chaise, about four miles from Wis bech, the horse suddenly became restive, when one of the reins broke, and the horse went down the steep bank leading to the river. Both Gentlemen jumped out of the gig without the least injury. The animal immediately plunged into the river, and in two mi nutes both gig and horse were under water. After a search of half an hour the gig was recovered, but the horse was of course drowned. The industrious mechanic, and persons of moderate income, who are afflicted, may have the best advice, gratis, if they attend at certain hours, namely, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings, until one o'clock, at the Medical Board, Great Charlotte -street, Blackfriars road. That thousands suffer from improper treatment is a fact—the latent seed of a dreadful disease lurks in the system, destroys domestic happiness, and entails debility on the rising generation. The Medical Board claims the attention of those afflicted with Strictures, Fistulas, Cancers, Scrophulas, Nervous Debilities, Eruptions, ulcerated throat, pains in the head and limbs, frequently mistaken for rheumatism, nodes in the shin bones, &v.—Messrs. COOPER and Co. after forty years practice in various Hospitals abroad and in this metropolis, are =stilted at Woodstock -street, Oxford -street, daily, from eight till eight; and at the Medical Board, Charotte-House, Great Charlotte street, Blackfriars-road, precisely from twelve until eight in the evening Ruptured Patients, whose tu mours exceeded 24 inches, have had them returned, to the surprise of the Medical Profession.
