THE CAULIFLOWER. With all the pageantry of phrase Some eulogize the lily ; While some the rose and tulip praise, With affectation silly : Dot, oh! the Sower of vsy choice ambits use witb beauty's power ; N eulogise with heart and voice The charming Cauliflower ! Like some great doctor's powder'd wig, With woe of green too belted ; Dag sweeter still with fciwl or pig, Serv'd up with butter melted! 0, tender Sower, much approu'd, Gem of the festal hour ! Sly gums to:press thy charms are mov'd, Soft, Wickes Cauliflower ! The garden's pride, the garden's boast ! • Of culinary glory, Long may'st thou grace the boit'd and roast, And shine in future story ! 0, in seasons dry and hot, Neer marst thou want a shower ; Nor I, thy Bard, to fill my pot, A thumping Cauliflower !

During the reign of terror in France, the mob para. ded the streets of Paris, to find victims for its vengeance—and it was propined by one of the crowd to go and massacre the youths the Colleges, who were Probably the sons of aristocrats, and would become enemies of the people when they grew up.— The idea was eagerly seized, and a phalanx of wretches pro ceeded down the Boulevards des Italiens to begin their work at the Bourbon College. Some good men joined the crowd with the hope of allaying its fury ; but all their efforts were unavailing until somebody cried out, " Pressez garde, met amis, gue now ne tuons nes miaow.' (Let us take care we don't kill our own children.) The juke was caught, ran front one to the other in a moment, and the mob felt so pleased at the idea, that it was a very easy matter to turn them from their object, and send them away to carouse . at their separate drinking.house4, where each amused himself in relating the joke to his companions."—Politieul Primer.

DINNER TO MR. POLHILL. The Electors of the Borough of SouthWark, who voted for Edward Polhill, Esq. at the last Election, yes terday gave that Gentleman a splendid dinner, at the Horns Tavern, as a mark of respect for the indepen dence displa)ed by him upon that occasion. Stetson HoLt.oway,'Esq. in the Chair, supported on ►is right by C. Barclay, Esq. bi.P. The cloth having been removed, the Chairman rose for the purpose of proposing the health of Mr. Polhill. He thought it necessary to say a few words upon the occasion, because their enemies , had propagated that Mr. Polhill's not being returned for the Borough was owing to his not being known in the Borough. His family had been known in the Borough for,upwards of a cen tury, with credit and unimpeached respectability. Mr. Polhill came forward with Intentions founded upon the pure principles of love for Country, Religion, and his ,King, and as a good Briton, with a fixed determination to support the Protestant cause to the end of his life. He would have been a real friend to civil and religious liberty. Though his friends had not succeeded inbring ibg him this time into Parliimmt, he (Mr. Holloway) trusted that they had not disgraced him (Mr. Polhill) or themselves. In the Election, 1342 independent elec tors had polled, and that fact spoke ♦olumes. Mr. Polhill would, however, on another and a future occa sion, come forward, and he hoped with ultimate suc cess. He then proposed the health of Mr. Polhill, which was drank with four times four. Mr. POLHILL returned thanks. The kindness of the company would make a lasting impression on his mind. ' He was extremely happy to meet those Gentlemen who had honoured him with their support at the late Elec tion. He had already stated the grounds upon which he presumed to present himself for their notice, and all he felt it necessary;on the present occasion, to say was, that his sentiments were unchanged, and would remain so. He had the interest of the Borough of Southwark at his heart, and he should never forget it. He then proposed the health of the company. After the usual toasts had been given, The Quitman proposed the health of C. Barclay, Esq. which was drank with enthusiasm. Mr. BARCLAY, in returning thanks, said, - though a Representative for a Borough in Ireland, he still had the interest of Southwark at heart. The kindness of his former fritnds in that Borough would never be effaced from his memory ; and if, in returning to Par liament, from which he had been absent eight years, he could in any way serve the Electors of Southwark, con sistent with his own duties, be should be happy to do so. His own opinions were unchanged, and he should go into the new Parliament a determined enemy to any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. He con cluded by eulogizing the character of his friend Mr., Polhill, and' said, nothing could afford tins greater pleasure than to see that Gentleman returned for the Borough of Southwark. The health of Mr. Holloway was next drank. That Gentleman returned thanks; and after the usual toasts, songs, Lke. the com pany separated at a late hour. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has joined his family at. Paris. j Vauxhall Gardens were crowded ces - Monday night with respectable company. Several of the Nobility were present, and a number of fashionable parties enjoyed the pleasure of the splendid scene. The amusements are so various and attractive, that they suit every taste, and keep the mind constantly on the alert. The arrange. ments to preserve order are excellent, and nothing was wanting to afford comfort, accommodation, and plea sure to the company. A few days ago, as the youngest son of Mr. Abbot, of Bushey,was returning from London, having in charge two carts, each drawn by one horse (riding himself in the first), he was overtaken near the windmill, on the Edgeware Road, by a man of the name of Cole, who Sot up unseen, with a lighted pipe in his mouth, into the hindermost. Falling asleep, the contents of his pipe dropped among a quantity of straw at the bottom of the cart, and a frightful blaze was the immediate conse quence.. Mr. Abbot, with much pretence of mind (the horse becoming almost unmanageable), released it from the shafts in an instant, threw them up, and emptied the cart of its burning contents and the drunken intruder,- the preservation of whose life is wholly attributable to the activity of Mr. Abbot, who, although his apparel caught fire several times, escaped without any injury. Friday evening, the 16th inst. Sir W. Congreve and Sir J. B. Martin gave a ball at Plymouth, to neaily 800 persons, to celebrate their return to Parliament.— Bath Gentlemen were, of necessity, absent, but their Committees were unremitting in their endeavours to make the delighted visitants happy partakers of the fes tivities of the evening. The " mazy dance was corn. menced at an early hour, by his Worship, W. H. Haw ker, Esq Mayor, and Miss Pym ; Mr. John Williams and Mrs. Hawker followed. The " set" continued to increase till upwards of 60 couple were op the 44 fantastic toe." The supper room was arranged for the accom. mudati al of 4 .:00 at a time, where cold meats, pastry, fruits, wine, &c. were served in tolerable order, till a late hour, when " symptoms of having supped" here and there appearing, those who were unwilling to welcome Aurora's approach, and the lark's rising, retired. There is a man, who has acted all his life as hostler to an inn net exactly twenty miles from Falkirk. Some' time ago, a calculation was made of the gross quantity of all kinds_of drink which he had taken, when it ap peared that no less than the number of 366,400 gills, or 11,450 gallons, had, during the last 50 years, been suck ed op by this human sponge ; yet his memory is good, and there are few passages of the Bible or Psalms that he cannot repeat.—Stirling Journal. Such is the astonishing quantity of fish caught in the Marisus before its junction with the Danube, that a' thousand carp have been sold for less than four shil !ins of our money ; and it, indeed, sometimes happens that the fishermen, not finding purchasers, either fatten hogs with them, or throw them again into the water. A woman aged seventy, has for the last 27 years can ied letters and parcels every day in the week from Andover to Longparish, and back. She, therefore, performs 14 miles a day, 84 miles a week, 356 miles a month, and 4,368 miles a year; and this she continues to do with undiminished health and activity, regardless of wind or weather. On the 16th inst. the annual " Common Riding," and commemoration of the taking of the Borough Flag from the lloglish after the battle of Ploddan, took place at Hawick, accompanied, as usual, with processions, horse racing, and other sports. In the morn ing, be Cavaliers on horseback, headed by their Csnot,who bore in kis right hand the martial ensign of the Borough, moved is procession from the tows to the common, where the duty of riding the Marches was performed.. Almost the whole population of the town, and numerous parties belonging to the country around, turned out to view the, scene, and to see the races, which commented on the ex cellent coons ups' the Heath, at twelve Zr.ap ; I' 4 ; ' MILO. OLD BAILEY, JUNE 2‘,'. Henry Lloyd was indicted for receiving and ptteting for the sake of gain, 1,000 one pound Beak of England notes, the property of Sir Richard Cur Glyn and Co. bankers, well knowing the same to have been sWlen. The prisoner pleaded It may be remembered that the prisoner was indicted capitally, and tiled at the last Sessions for stealing the note.; in question arum the York Express mail coach.— He was then acquitted on the capital charge, but was ordered to be detained on the charge of uttering. Mr. Asnaaws, as Counsel for the prisoner, in miti gation of punishment, pleaded the length of 'time that the prisoner had been already confined, and hoptd that the circumstance would have its weight when sentence was about to be pronounced. Mr. Baonaick, for the prosecution, said he bad no instruction to press any thing in aggkavation of the prisoner's guilt; and he was sentenced to two yars bard labour in the House of Correction. At three o'clock the RE:cow:mit took his seat on the Bench for the purpose of passing sentence on the prisoners convicted and found guilty during the present Sittings. Twenty prisoners, thirteen men and seven women, were brought up and ordered to be discharged by proclamation, there being no bills found against them by the Grand Jury.

The remainder of the prisoners received sentences proportioned to their respective crimes. NEW COURT. J.%a Scott was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. The case as detailed to the Jury by the prosecutor's Counsel was as follows :—On the 18th of February list, the prisoner went before a Magistrate, and deposed that on the preceding evening he ha.l bee n attacked by four persons as he was passing along the street, and that one of them, in endeavouring to get his watch, had broken the chain of it, and stolen his Watch-key and seals; and at the same time he swore that he believed this person to be one Thomas Crouch, who was in consequence in dicted and tried at the last Old Bailey sessions, and the present prisoner was called ac a witness against him, when, instead of giving the same evidence as lie had given before the Magistrate, he positively swore that he' did not think that Crouch waf the man who stole his chain and seals, and that he did not think that the four persons had any intention of robbing him, but that he looked upon the whole affair as a drunken frolic. The Jury, however, convicted Crouch of the tobbery, and as the very flagrant variation between the prisoner's depo sition before the Magistrate and his evidence on Crouch's trial could only be ascribed to some corrupt motive, the present indictment had been preferred against him. The record of Crouch's trial having been produced in evidence, it was therein stated that Crouch had been indicted for stealing a watch key and seals of the value of 30s. whereas in the present indictment it was alleged that Crouch had been indicted for stealing a watch key and seals of the value of 38s. The prisonet's Counsel' objected that this was a fatal variance, and Mr. Bot.- , LAND having candidly admitted that he was of the same lopinion, Mr. Serjeant AHABIN, after some considera- lion, directed the Jury that they must acquit the pri 'soner on this account, which they did accordingly. This being the last case, Mr. Setjeant MARIN told the Jury that he was happy to say that their labours had for the present come to a termination, and that they were entitled to the thanks of the country fur the very satisfactory manner in which they had discharged their duty. SICYZ.—The marriage of the Earl of HOPITOVN to the Hon. MISS MACDONALD of the Isles had been antici pated in the Isle of Skye for some weeks ; and when the confirmation of the joyful event arrived on Monday the 12th instant, it spread like wild-fire over hill and dale. On the following day a great number of people convened at P. rsree to testify their attschmeat and. gladness of beast. The Clergy, the Magistrates, and principal tacksmen, with their wives and families, as sembled to celebrate this happy union, when upwards of forty Ladies and Gentlemen sat down to an excel lent dinner in Macleod's Inn. The evening was spent, by high and low, with eves y demonstration of joy.— Bonfires blazed on every hill, the juice of grape and mountain dew circulated freely both in and out of doors; and all vying with each other in flowing bum pers, drank with enthusiasm to the health and happiness of this young and noble pair, and to the lasting prospe rity and honour of the noble family of MACDONALD of tile Isles, and the other great families now connected with it, whose munificence and liberality to the tenantry have continued undiminished from . age to age. The national martial music graced the festivity, and the lively song and dance went round with great spirit, and were kept up to an early hour next morning, when this assembly broke up, and separated on drinking deochan dons; " and (says our correspondent) soon and often may we meet to rejoice on similar occasions." The Gazelle, a frigate built for the Pacha of Egypt, was insured yesterday at Lloyd's at three per cent. and a warranty was given that she was to be accompanied by two French frigates from Marseilles to Alexandria. The lightning was extremely 'it'll last night, and there was a good deal of thunder, though not very loud, accompanied with a heavy shower or two of rain. A report of the Dublin County Election, exceeding two columns, is wound up with i‘ throughout the entire day, one could scarcely hear a word."

Lipid, Esq. the sittlii Magistrate under the following charge It appeared in eiidence that on Monday night, between tea and eleven o'clock, Waddington and Pyne, two of the Bow -street ono: being on duty in the neighbourhood of the Foundli ng , saw t h e three prisoners walking at a quick pace along Lansdown-place, and knoo_ ing two of them to be connected with a gang strongly suspected of committing several burglaries in the neighbourhood of square, they determined on getting more assistance, and taLtat (h eat into custody. On getting close to the Foundling watch-house, Wad. dingten rushed forward and seised Moore and }Lily, and callti loudly for assistance, which was promptly afforded by Hutt, th e watch-house keeper, who came up jest in time to prevent the escap e of Moore, he having bit Waddington through the hand, and nearly caused him to relinquish his bold. In the mean time Pike, rh o i t a powerful and athletic young man, had been secured, after a dc.i. perste resistance, by Pyne, the other patrol. and a watchman. the being taken to the watch-house they were strictly searched, snd the following.articles, found on their persons, were produced before the Magistrates :—Fourteen skeleton and picklock keys of all sizes and descriptlboa, two gimlets ' a knife, centre bit and stock, fou r crow bars, or jimmies, and var ious other implements of house breaking, with a phosphorous box and matches, a dark lantern, adapted either for a candle or lamp, and two whole candles. The officers present declared they had never witnessed so complete a set of instrumtnu for burglary before. The prisoners declined saying any thing In their defence. Mr. Liuta then stated that they were no doubt going on some expedition, the consequences of which, hid they not been stopped in their career, could not possibly be foreseen. It was his duty to prevent them from being turned loose on the public, at least for a time, and)* should exercise that duty to the utmost extent the law allowed him. They were then ordered 10 be committed, pro tampon, to the House of Correction, as reputed thieves, and orders were given that the strictest inquiries should be made to ascertain if they caul,' be identified with any of the late numerous attempts at burglary iu that neighbourhood. MARY-LA-BONNE. Yesterday Mary Evasu and Louisa Busk, very young girls, were charged with stealing a quantity of cotton bed furniture. On Saturday morning, about five o'clock, as Robert Blarney, a watchman, was leaving bis beat in Grove End-road, St. John's Wood, the prisoners came up, and inquired what it was o'clock? Seeing them in possession of a large buhdle. and in a great hurry, he inquired into the particulars of their morning's adventure ? They told him they had slept the preceding night in Portland -town, at a house kept by Mrs. Du:bridge, under whose directions they were carrying the parcel to Bermondsey, fur the purpose of bring washed. The watchman doubted the truth of their statement, be cause he found the furniture already wet, and he took them into Custody. The girls, when taken to i'ortland-town, were unable to paint out their professed lodging, and Mrs. Duxbridge could not be found. Helen Kennedy identified the furniture as the property of her master (Mr. Carew, of Kilburn); it was left upon the grass plot in .the back garden on Friday night. Mr. Carew said, the girls must have scaled a wall sic of seven feet high to obtain possession o( the property ; but as they ap peared so young, and perhaps it was their first offence, he requested Mr. Hoskins " not to push the law with severity." They were remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. - Yesterday, Antes Clark, a wretched-looking boy, aged fourteen yeara, was finally examined before Mr. TWYWOILD ) charges] with stealing a necklace from the person of a little girl, named Louisa Bouchard.

Mr. Peter Bouchard, the girl's father, said the necklace was of coral, and worth 15s. The young delinquent was fully committed for trial. A Gentleman expressing his wonder that so unwieldly a man as Sir W. C. should be so attached to barges, yachts, &c. a wag observed, that he had a great anxiety to be a lighter-taan. AN AIPICTING PREACHiR —While a Denise was preaching at Bagdad, one of his hearers seemed vastly affected. Proud of his power, the preacher asked how his discourse had touched him so much.
