NEL POETRY. SONG I. BY T. CAMPBI . (From" The New No ahly Magaidee—New Series."] Ti.. brave Rohind l—tho beam Rolsed!— Fulse sidinp roseled the Rhenish strand Thai hooked fall'. in Rght ; And thy faithful bosom 'wooled with psi., 0 loveliest amide of Alleasaywes For the loss of thioe ow. true knight. But why so rash has she teen IM veil, In you Noonenwerder's cloisters pale For her vow bad scarce been sworn, Rad the fatal muffle o'er her a wog, When the Draeberafells to a trumpet rang-- 'l'was her own dear warrior's kora. Woe, sot! each heart shall bleed, shall break! Sbt would have hung upon his neck, Had he came bat ye.ter.eveo; And he had claap'd those peerless charms That shall never, Serer 611 his arm•, Or meet him but in heaves. Yet Roland the brave, Roland the true,' He could not bid that spot adieu; le was dear, still mid►t his woes; Fur he loved to breathe the neightirieg air, And to think she blest his in her pray'r, When the Hallelujah rose. There's yet one window of that pH*, Which he built above the nun's grew isle, Thence sad and oft h,ok'd he, (When the chant and organ sounded stow) On t►e mansion of his love below, Fur herself he might not see. She died sought the battle-plain; Her intsge his dying brain, When he fell, and winded to fall : And her name was in his latest sigh, When Roland, the Auwer of chivalry, Expired at Riincevall. • The tradition which forms the sobs t . f them •taazv is still preserved in Germany. An ancient lower on • height, ended the Rolandseck, a Cyr miles above Bunn nu Hie Rhine, is ;hewn as the habitation which Roland built is wick of a nunnery, into which hi. mistress had retired on having heard an oefuunded accetst of his death. Whatever may be thrombi of the credibility of the legend, its scenery must ►eseeollected with pleasure by every one who has ever visited the romantic landscape of the Drachnifells the Ru- Isutlacck r and the beautiful adjacent istet of the Rhine, where a nunnery still stands.

Nothing Las as yet been made for morning dress bat muslin. We have reason to believe that dinner dress will consist chiefly of silk: at present, there is nothing novel either in the form or trimming of indoor dress. The colours likely to be most in favour are ponces., Pomona green, lavender, chestnut, and raspberry red. [Front " La Bork Asselablik."] INGLISH WALKING DRESS.

The 75th rent. was daily ex pected at Gibraltar from the lorries Islands : on their ar rival the remainder of the 80th regiment would proceed to Malta. The following is as ettriet of ft letter, dated Buenos Ayres, 19th July : " The last accounts from the army under General San Martin state, that its progress had been much retarded by the effect of the climate, on the troops; on the other band, the inactivity of the Royalists is a wrong proof of their consciousness of inferiority and want of confidence in the soldiery. Notwithstanding the languid character which the conduct of the campaign bar assumed, all the proba bilities are in fs of the Independent cam*. Here, as well as in the other politic's, the anarchists are losing round. The Chief of Estes Rios, Ramirvs, was defeated in hie attempt to obtain polloesslos of Cordova, and after the discomiture of his troops by the Governor Bedoys, at the bead of the forces of Cordova, and detachments from Buenos Ayres and Sonia Pe, be was taken prisoner, and executed.

NEWPORT, SEPTEMBER 49.—A grund pigeon match took place on Wednesday last, at the Gorse Shines Inn, Northwood, between Mr. GEORGE DASIIWOOD, of Whippingharn, and Mr. BUL LOCK, sera. (xarnekeeper to G.

The In spector General a the Poste had provided this place with en additional supply of post horses, and yesterday the garrison of Bergues (with the ex ception only of the men on duty), which consisted of the 22.1 regiment of infantry, and also two aquae drens of the 6th regiment of &agent's, marched in here to receive his %Nest, with military parade, The avant couriers, which passed through this town very early this morning, said, his Majesty had slept the preceding night at Calais; sod might : he ex pected here at 2 o'clock, p. to. The Marquis de Jumillac, Commander-in-Chief of the De partment du Nord, passed through about one, and gisee.his commends to the field officer on duty here. The infiutry then proceeded to line the street, and the road about a mile in length. forming " use heie." as they term it; about 20 yards aeon der, while the grenadier companies and the dragoons formed the guard of honour. About half-past two o'clock this afternooi) his Majesty's carriage enter ed the town, and proceeded through the streets at a foot pace. The soldiers presenting arms es his Ma jesty passed. then formed into file and followed the carriage—port arms. When the carriage arrived at the Post aux Chevalier, the grenadiers presented arms, and the cavalry rendered similar honours. The hoists were all in readiness; the fronts of all the houses were filled by ladies, and • great con course were assembled round the post-house. There were several English present, who took off their hats, and which was followed by the French in view of the royal carriage. Admiral Winthorp and Captain M‘Killop, Royal Navy, were the only British officers present, nod with their lab's approached the royal carriage. Dos Majesty iin mediately let down the siudow and bowed to the officers ori duty; he took much notice of the Ad miral's fine children; and entered into converoaion, with real condescension and kindness, with Admind Winthoep hod Captain M'Killop. There was • general expression of respect from the English, of God bless your Alajest)! May your Majesty enjoy • 'angered happy reign !' To which the King replied by thanks, most feelingly uttered, acd re peated obeisances. Dos Majesty looked extremely well, clear, and well bronzed by the see bre. z his eyes bright, and lie appeared in very eared spi. rim. Ile seemed evidently delightedeoud surprised to receive wares and sincere congratulations an hi. own old English) language where he little expected it. for there are very few English residents here. Nine English cheers., to which the French salted a cordial chorus, were the final salute. The Mayor and all the Authorities were present. stud saluted; and it mu-t not be omitted, that, from amidst the French clergy. one gentleman stepped forward, and, io good English, said lie was happy on his native soil to thank his Majesty. which he did with sincere gratitude, on behalf of Isis brethren and himself, 'fur the support end pro tection they had received in Enelrnd, end he devoutely prayed that Isis Majesty might enjoy ■ long and happy reign. This unaffected address beamed into the Kiug'e eyes, while he thanked the gentleman in the most cordial manner for his good wishes. The carsiage drove off at • foot pare, as if to say. his Majesty would willing tarry awhile if his duties did not call hint away. It was delightful to think that this fine country should be the scene of so much cordiality, which is more congenial to the smiling fields sod verdure around this place, than the horrors and devastations of war. In Isis Majesty's carriage were the Marquis Conynghsoi, Lord Greases, and Doctor liisighion. The Duke of Wellington and Merging. of Londonderry slept here on Monday eight, and set off next morning early for Brussels.

We kept company with them for about ten boors, but it was blowing so hard all the time, that we could receive no stews from them.
