Dear Wn.tancitos, honey !—how dirty you trate us! Was then all your promise to help us a dram.? I wrote ye a littur, sure--hindng potatoes— But divil an answer I've had to dat same. Since ever I tasted sweet emancipation, My true Irish stomach still goes to rebel ; Till rashers of bacon, and wholesome potation, I thinks to myself had perhaps done as well. Last night we want all out to murder and plunder,— Shell, Jerry, Pat, Dinnis,—and half a score more ; When up came the soldiers, and tnuld, to our wander, We had no more right to dat fun than before. By the Powers! then, O'Coseet and you have desaved us, And all your fine emancipation's a trick, — You serve us no more than when lately you braved us ; But if that you'r joking,—beware of Pat's stick. The Priest of the parish mares all is not done yet,— The King must as pardon and grace from the Pope ; And swears, blood and tundra. !—that we shall have fun yet — And Bishops, like onions, swing high on a rope. Gels ! last night, dead drunk aid glad joy and good whiskey,-- '• My tight Flower of Connaught"—said he—" never mind Dat naked you are—blood and ouns—still be frisky— Tho' maybe your stomach be bodered wid wind. " Foe de lads dat can do it—Loyola's blest childer, Have now got a bit of their finger well in,— And the body will follow entire, and bewilder, The rogues that vaunt freedom and Protestant sin." Meantime, send the praties,—we're dying wid hunger : Tho' Ireland now saved finds your Government sweet,- 06 I—we can afford to be happy no longer— But sigh to be wretched wid something to eat. AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. Russia permitted solidly to annex to her gigantic dominions the capital and dependencies of the ancient Greek empire, is an event fraught with our future ruin. The herald of Turkey's fall will also be the harbinger of England's foundered destiny i—her gran deur and her Influence perish from that moment. Reader, I am not raving :—direct your eyes to the map ;—there behold the prodigious power, enabled, by increasing population and resource, to effect its first stride towards the sphere of our action and interests. Remem ber that Russia is not the Russia of our fathers; beware bow you undervalue the strength of a rival of this magnitude and sinew. Be hold a people insatiable in ambitionotaturally shrewd, evincing every day. as civilisation improves their faculties, the highest capabilities —they are compelled, from the situation of their vast possessions, to become a maritime people. Their variety of climate and soil, their necessities and pretensions, oblige them to be commercial ; while their military strength and improvements in warlike skill, both from the cultivation of science and from experience, enable them not only to defend their interests, but to force advantage at the expense of others. This Power. imprudently depreciated from its presumed inefficiencies and remote situation, has been weakly permitted to encroach beyond her frontiers on every side; while her constancy in the continual attempt proves her ultimate intentions of universal invasion. Her indigence and meagre population, in proportion to her extent of territory, have been egregiously elev. gerated ;—or, if not, her rapid ameliorations in resource, within the last few years, supersede the antiquated criterion. Or could we admit her having remained stationary, would not the possession of Turkey—that garden and granary admirable for its ports, — washed by convenient seas, swarming with commercial navies of every nation, and adjacent to the shores of Egypt and Italy. yield every abundance of wealth and population? The banks of the White Sea. the Baltic, and the Euxine, teem with the growth of dock-yard materials ; while the stormy seas of Russia and its hardy genius are naturally calculated to ferns a transcen dent navy, which, although we venture to despise in its present untried infancy, may soon, powerfully strengthened and matured, present the unwelcome spectacle of formidable armaments forcing a passage to the Atlantic from Russia's various seas—and those, too. organised and commanded with science and success equal to her present victorious army, which, almost within recollection, was estimated with contempt. The crisis, we repeat, is awful, and imbecility alone can slumber over the danger. Let the hopes of our apathetic and reckless rulers,if entertained sincerely, be realised ; and poor superannuated Turkey, rising in desperate effort on her last legs, for this time beat back the Russian Eagle, how shall her ex tenuated force, incurably infected with mortal decay, ever again be able to scare the awful enemy when Inclined to pounce upon his quarry ? The Muscovite has tasted the bread of the Romelia, and the sweet savour will cling for ever to his palate. Come what may, he will at least, slavered by the Balkan, sit firmly down in Belga& ; where.gathering force, he will only waits more favour able occasion to sweep, like a torrent, forward. So, let the small diplomatic tricksters, governing in despite of incapacity, think to avert the actual peril in the name of GOD ; but can a peace, however favourably granted, now secure us against an imme. diate recurrence of the self same danger? Is any one a dupe to the object of Russia and believe she can be satisfied with any thing short of Constantinople? Yes! yes! let Wellington at last show some sign of diplomatic skill and influence, by effecting a peace ;—but what advantage will be a little breathing-time from inevitable discomfiture? Indeed inevitable, if an opposite policy be not adopted instanter. But alas! this camp-schooled Statesman, with his military colleagues and Jesuitic instruments, the wretched laequks of illmaasticar,seents disinclined even to attempt so much. Like the profligate Osman, whose Regtisey sealed the ruin of France, they seem, in the selfish gratification of place and pension, to sneer at the accumulating dangers they wickedly promote in the heartless indulgence of that sentiment of immortal infamy— " Ares nous le Wage." To be continued. ••• • • M. PERs AT, a French Officer, rescued, in 1821, a Turkish girl of 15 years of age, from the massacre committed by the Greeks at Tripolltza, and conducted her the year following to Marseilles, where her history excited so muck interest that she was received in the family of the Governor, Baron DaMA, convened to Christianity, and delivered of an infant, the fruit of her previous connection with her liberator, who, having promised to marry her, now claims both the mother and child by due noun of law. Monday se'nnight the infant daughter of Mr. J. Lynch, Killarmi, was burned to death by falling from the arms of its nurse into the Ste. We are happy to learn that a chapel is about to be built in the vicinity of St. Giles's for the use of the thousands of Irish who Inhabit that put of the city, and who have not a single place of worship to congregate In on the Lord's day. Every nation and people have their church In Ludo* but the Irish. Little wonder they should be so regardless of keeping the Sabbath holy when the sacred obligation of doing sale never impressed upon their minds. We are glad to say that the design bas the support of the highest dignitaries of the church, and we trust its valuable claims will meet with liberal support and eztensive patronage. It is intended that the service shall be performed in the English language in the morning, and in the Irish in the evening. Friday afternoon a porter in the employment of a corn merchant in Leith absconded with 4001. which he was intrusted to lodge in one of the banks. The Right lion.

CORPORATION EXPENDITURE. THE GRAND GRAND ENTERTAINMENT TO THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA, &C. &C. AT GUILDHALL. Numbers of persons who are interested in City matters have been assiduous In their inquiries into the cost of the splendid entertainment to the Monarchs and Generals who visited this country after the Peace; but not only the items, but the gross amount of the expenditure, have been kept up to the present time a dead secret. The document, to which no persons except the members of the Common Council have access, and which they are bound not to exhibit nor to state the nature of , passed silently over this most sumptuous treat. The attempt to keep the citizens of London in the dark, with respect to the" Monarchs Feed" (as this celebrated day's eating and drinking has been denominated), has ceased to be successful, a. the following list of charges wiU testify : Expenses of the Dinner, &c. given to the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, &c. by the City of London, in the year 1814 ; Sir Wm.

The duties of the members of all these Committees are very heavy, and not one who happens to be five minutes behind the hour appointed fur meeting ever gets a morsel of dinner allotted in consideration of the due perfermance of the business of the Corporation. The expenses of the other Committees are defrayed out of funds with which the Corporation have nothing to do, and to several there is no allowance whatever. Of those are the Committees of the Irish Society; the Committee of the Select London Bridge, the expenses of which are paid out of the general expenses of the New Bridge, and uhich will cease to (lilt so soon as the bridge shall have been completed ; the Committee of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, of the London Workhouse, of Christ's Hospital. of liridewell and Bethlehem, and of St. Thomas's Hospital.

COLLECTANEA. ----- The Rev , . Dr. Mill, Principal of the Bishop's College, Calcutta, has left England for that place. We are happy to find that Mr. Justice Burrough is so much recovered from his late serious illness that he was able to leave Bridgewater on Friday last; but we understand that Mr. Toogood, the surgeon under whose immediate care be has been, has strongly recommended him not to subject himself to the fa tigues of office again. The Duke of RICH MON D, Lord Moo NTCH A ALES, and Lord Fi►s, are reported to have interested themselves in the resto ration of t►e performances at Covent-Garden Theatre, and if their efforts be seconded by the °patent amateurs of the drama, and the play-going public generally, and a commensurate sacrifice be made in their salaries by the principal actors, there is no doubt of a suc cessful issue. FRANCIS, Duke of Bedford, who died in 1802, made his will a few hours before his death. It consists of a few Imes ordy. He left all his property to his brother Job., the present Duke; but it is well known that the late Duke wrote a long letter to his brother, containing many requests, all of which were rigidly fulfilled. This letter was not coneldered a testamentary paper, and consequently was not appended to the will when it was proved by the present Duke. who was the sole executor. Some years previous to the death of Francis, to enable him to advance consi derable sums of money to his family, and to pursue his agricultural plans and improvements, both at Woburn and elsewhere, we be lieve the entail of his whole rotate was cut or, and the Veit estates in Hampshire and. Surrey were sold. The present Duke has, therefore, the entire disposal of the whole Bedford property. There are three sons living by the Duke's lest wife, and teu by the pre sent Duchess. A " PALPABLE HIT" AT THE LAW YERS.Dtiring the trial of Cteetaset, the notorious dealer in forged notes, at the Assizes in Lancashire, on Wednesday last, a witness of the name of Farmworth, who had been himself previously convicted of a robbery, was brought forward as the principal witness for the pro. secution. In his cross-ezimination, the following laconic colic:goy occurred : Mr. COLTMAN (Counsel for the defence)— Was you ever confined in the New Wiley? Witness—Yes. Are you not like wise acquainted with the accommodation of the Knutsford and Chester gaols? Witness—No ; I don't p that circuit. Another " palpable hit"—and a hit of a high order, is given in a law report, which will be found in our last page, in the case of " The Duke o f Wellington, the Venus, and the Itoyal George 1 1 "—" The tide was running very high," said the witty witness, a and at that moment the Royal George came up and struck the Debt of Weli►sgtos with such violence as almost turned him round."—(Great laughter ) A DREAM.—In the New Monthly Magazine there is "A Drew:slams the Antipodes," well worth perusaL " A change came o'er the spirit of my dream," says the writer, " I thought I saw our Military Mini/ter, with a valet de-chambre's jacket and apron over his uniform, dressing Don Miguel in royal robes. When the toilet was finished, be offered his Majesty what at first appeared a folded pocket-handkerchief, but which, on opening, turned out to be the British flag, in which Miguel first blew his nose, and then spit upon it; at which such a deal ' g shout of indignation arose, that the Doke opened his month, and looked astonished. Miguel ran away—dropped his crown, and I awoke !" A Lady of elegant appearance was, on Sunday last. very unceremoniously banded out of a Chapel at the West end of the town, owing to her having taken a favourite lap-dog with her, which chose to give tongue during Divine Service. NEW Po Liu E.—lt is now understood that Mr. PEE l.'s new Police Act will commence its operations—so far as the City of Westminster, and the out-parishes of the Metropolis are citn cerned—intrandiately after klichaelinas day. Indeed we believe that more than one muster of the future gens d'arnieris of the Bri tish Capital has already taken place wider the superintendence of their oulilory leaders. Certainly any change in our present system of police, in so tar as the preservation of prnperty is concerned. is a " consummation devoutly to be whited ;"—but we fear that the sew d'arnies, while it protects our ropeny, will, under a usilioary gawping*, greatly circun.s tibe---that which is still dearer to us as Englishmen—stir liberty. It i. .Aid that every one of this Vidocc carps will visit the whole of his ff3f14,11 every quarter of an hour; and have to report the number and names (when he call) of the visiters going into and coming out of the house, within his district. This may be right, as regards the hours aof receivers of stolen goods, &c. but how will the Vidocq system be relished by every honest man, from the noble of the land downwards,—to have his name laid daily before a military gotcra af his basing received visits from, or paid vi.its to, any per son who has made himself, by his opposition to arbitrary measures, obnoxious to that government? Let every Englishman answer the question. For our own parts we would at once prefer having the local militia—or a portion thereof—called out at once to do the duty of guardians to our property, that to submit to this system Vidrcista and apiamage. St)U TII A 311'TO N St: PT. s.—The large cast iron pillar, commonly called Chartiberlayne's Column, has been this wesk re • moved to the centre of the Quay, a commanding situation, where it is to be lighted as a sea-mark to mariners, and will thus prove useful and ornamental in the highest degree.—Monday. the inha bitants of Lyruington had an opportunity of witnessing a very pleasing and interesting sight, by the sailing of 26 diger. sit crass wherries and boats in that river, for prises awarded them hy the liberal subscription of the principal it.laanhanti of the town neighbourhood, amounting t o upwards of 301. having been s,t en foot by a few tradesmen, it very soon received the support it so well merited. The sum was distributed to a deserving crass of so ciety, and in a great measure remunerated them for their to., dur ing the summer, the weather having proved so very unfavoisrable fur aquatic excursions. Two young Indies, Miss Carew, of Rosegreen, and Miss Crean, of aorinsel, took the white veil at the Presentation Convent, in Clonmel, on Wednesday morning.

This extraordinary work is weekly amazingly im proving. The panoramic views of London, and all the prominent stations within ten miles of It, may now be said to be finished, and in a style of minute accuracy that is, even in this wonderful age, most truly wonderful. It is now pretty universally known that the views of London are supposed to be seen from the gallery at the top of &. The spectators look down Ludgate-hill, over Paternoster-row, St.Rartholurnew's, and the New Post (Mice; nett at the preparations for the New London Bridge; then at the Lord Mayor's show on the Thames, with ail the smoky woaderments and Metropolitan improvement. to be seen along Southwark, by the Waterloo Bridge. and at the West end, by no means °adult% the Regent's Park, heretofore the " Mary-h-bonne Fields." These thousands of views, and collected within such limited space, may fairly be pronounced to constitute the most extraordinary work of modern enterprise ; in spite of the ponderosity and immense va riety of the building, we speak of " limited space," because, large as Is the Panorama, the extent and variety of the views still excite amazement. There were, we were glad to perceive, crowds of per. sons, on Friday, Saturday, and yesterday, to contemplate the magic wonders and daring enterprise of this extraordinary building, and the extraordinary extent of the efforts made to carry the original ideas into execution. The " Woos of Arts" is also now far advanced towards perfection. The tables and recesses are tastefully prepared, and along the Saloon there are some good specimens of sculp ture. The collection of plants Is much improved, and the view is now aided by a delightfully variegated fountain ; and the artificial rocks, precipices. with stumps of trees and portions of plants growing in the interstices, and at the craggy points, are making singularly suc cessful progress. The visitors seemed much struck with the wonders of the place. The fair daughter of Lady STEWART (sister to the Countess of Annuoues) will. it Is said, be led to the hymeneal altar by Diem Battu', FA+ in the course of the present month. A magnificent service of plate has been ordered on the occasion. A new building, to be called " The Pitt library," is about to be erected at Cambridge, out of the surplus of the fund subscribed for a statue to that distinguished ornament of the Uni versity. It has been ascertained, from official returns, that the proportion both of births and deaths, in the kingdom of the Ne therlands, is larger by unt-tenth in the winter than in the summer months. ELECTION OF A REPRESENTATIVE PEER FOR In:Anti--The Right lion. Ricuan, Earl of Glengall, has been elected a Representative Peer, in the room of Cuanza Joon, Earl of Blessington, deceased. A curious fact has transpired this week : Lord Lay raw( Gown, it appears, has nominated himself to a snug sinecure on the Irish Ketablivhment. By the death of the late Lord Conon:ea, who held the situation of Keeper of the Irish Privy Seal, my Lord Levan Gowns claps himself plump into the situation, and is at this moment in the quiet enjoyment of its emoluments, which ate understood to be pretty considerable.—Standard.
