V POETRY: OH, HAD MY FATE BEEN JOIN'D WITH THINE! Rl' LORD BYRON. Oh, had my fate been join'/ with thine, As once this pledge appeaed a token ; Tbese Adios , s had sot &bee been mine, For then my peace bad mot been broken. To thee thew early faults I owe, To thee the wise and old reproviag; They know ally sues, but do not know 'Twas thine to break Ilse bonds or loving. For once my soul like thine was pure, And all its chain fires could smoother; Dot now thy vows no sore 'adore, liestow'd by tbee upon another. Perhaps his peace 1 could destroy. And spoil Ike blisars that await kin ; _ Tel lel ay rival satile i■ joy, For thy dear sake I nom). kale Ilia. AL ! sine• thy angeLform Is gone, My heart no more east rest with any, But what it sought is thee alone, Attempts, alas ! to lad is many. Thee, fart thee well, deceitful Maid, 'Twere vain and fruitless to regret thee; Igor Hope, nor Memory, yield their aid, But l'ride may teach me to forget thee. . Tel all this giddy waste of years, This tiresome naiad of palling pleasures; These varied loves, these matron's fears, These thooghtleos strains to Passma's measures, If time went otiote, bad all brew busied; This cheek sow pale from early riot, With Passion's beetie oe'er bad fluabid, But bloomed io calm domestic quiet. Yes, wee the rural Geese was sweet, . For Nature seemed to smile before tbee ; .641 mice my breast abbored deceit, For thee tt best but to adore thee. • Est sow I ask for other joys, Tu think would drive my soul to madam: In 'Weightless skewer sod simply wise, I conquer half soy busom's sadness. Tel even in these a thought will steal, Is spite of every vain endeavour ; And fiends sight pity what I feel, To know that thole art lost for ever. BRITISH INSTITUTION. This valuable continues to hold its just pre.etninence as • School of Art. The present E:Mbit►on of the old Masters retains its strong and deserved attroction—and this very circumstance spew• the practical efficacy of the British Institution in improving the taste of the country, and giving thst stimulus to the patronage of the Fine Arts, without sloth it will be vain to hope for that general excellence in our Artists which is essential to the permanency of thei► profession in that station which it ought to hold in a free country. Since the es tal►li-Invent of the Institution a taste for the Fine Art. has been progressively growing in this country ; patronage has become more general, and by the disc 000000 nation of an improved taste, more useful in sts •pplscstion. The sale of works of Art in the British Institution has kept pace with this growing improvement, and the measures generally taken by the Directory are calculated to place the Fine Arts of our country is. that station which they are enti tied to hold it► a free country. The Royal Academy has been roused into activ►ty by the British lusti tut►ou. and has given its strong and effective co operation for the advancement of Art. Mr. President WEST continues with unabated ex ertion to make the Art of which he is so venerable a Profest...r the engine of sublime moral instruction; he is ably seconded by Mr. Fusau, who, ever com municative and strable to the Students, freely affoids them on all occasions the benefit of his ex ten►ive information and unwearied assiduity. We have already alluded to the works in the ple►ent Exhibition of the British Institution—some of them are unique, and by fair the greater part are emitted to the study of our Artists, and to the ex amination of the public, who are to derive a per niatient benefit from the successful cultivation of the Fine Art.. Of the Cartoons (two of which are now its the InstitiltiOn), it is only necessary to allude to them as etandard works which have exciter' the admiration of Europe. and beets sought after by every means as studies of form, grace, and expression. Some of GUIDO'S fittest works are in this Exhibition and some of the most admirable productions of the Italian, Spanish, Flemish, Dutch, and French Schools. LUD. CARACCI'S Sy6illu Lyloica, is a great work, full of powerful and vigorous character. BOTH'S Lunt!stapes are unique and admirable . . The pictures by PAUL. Porno, JAM STEED, and TEN lERS, are full of strong character. Homo Mid RZISDRANDT have in this gallery some powerful specimens of their un rivalled talents. The works of SALTATOR RosA, CUTP, and art also euellent—we shall wake thew the subject of future ob,ervution.

We are requested to remark, that thong)) in se%tral London and Scots Newspapers it has !wen asserted that the claim to the Peerage of Airly has been rejected, or not sustained, by the House of Lords, this is by no means the cute. That claim is still in dependence, amid it is hoped, that on cos alderiliou of all tie circumstances, it will be ulti snidely sustained, tliJugh, it is true, that on certain points referred by the 11011. e to the cousiderstion of the Twelve Judge., the onimmi given by them WAS rather unfrivonralile, hut the whole merits of the case were by no means thereby determined.— ( Ldimburgli Paper.) rtiE47'RES. covamr-astutax. We were last night winch gratified by observing the very immense* and faellionsble company who patronised the benefit of the Misses DEN N ETT. The entertainments selected on this occasion were judiciously varied—and, independent of the in terest which the public take in the welfare of those amiable and highly-gifted young lashes, were of themselves sufficiently attractive to insure a full house. After the opera of Arlo:fries, in which the Aisnelame of the evening, MIS STEPHENS, thrilled every heart and delighted every ear, by her exquisite wrier, and no less exquisite taste, the pleasant little comedy of The Child If IVature was ;inhumed, the part of daranthis, by Miss E. DEN Narr, being her first appearance in a dramatic character. The fair debntante was ex tremely socceesful. The applause. which were li berally bestowed on her exertion', we look upon as acknowledgments justly due to her merits, rather than as the partial greetings of affectionate friends. Miss E. DEN VI Err's performance was distingerished by innocent playfulness, and unaffected She looked the lovely Ainanthis whom the poet had pourtrayed. and her acting del slot destroy the 11- lueion. The liveliness and spirit which she dis played in her first interview with Count I - a/eerie, impresses us with a very favourable idea of her talents fur light and volatile characters. We liked her in that accrue better than in the more serious and sentimental parts of the character, although they were also supported with ability. In the course of the comedy a mirror dance, with two mirrors, was performed by the Misses DEN NETT. It is an admirable scenic delusion—evinc ing much talent in its conception, anti (lemma:ling great skill, taste, and mailegement for its effective execution. It was loudly encored. The panto mime of Harlequin Gulliver followed, in which various elegant dances were introduced by the Misses DEPi NETT. ENGLISH corm. The comic opera of The Dimwits was last night performed, Mier CAREW, late of Covent-garden Theatre, made her first appearance or the character of Clara. To a voice remarkable for clearness and melody. though not for power, Miss CAREW utilise pure taste and a highly cultivated judgment. She is not ambitious of overloading her airs with a super abundance of °moment—but her execution, which is neat, distinct, and unembarrassed, proves that she can call science to her aid, when necessary. Iler style is similar to that of Miss STEPHENS, in which execution is always rendered subservient to 'tyres. sion. Mies CAREW sang her different songs most sweetly and delicately. She was encored in " When sable night"—and, if the same mark of approval were not bestowed on her performance of "Adieu. thou dreary pile," it was occasioned by the kindly feelings of the audience, whose humanity dictated to them the propri e ty f cos mit's% Miss Caarw's health rather than their own pleasure. Mr. Paestum, for the first time, sustained the character of (arks. He sang prettily—especially the air, " Had a heart." Mr. J. JONES appear ed as Don Ferdinand. We can assure him, although he may think differently, that it is not discreditable to a performer to be perfect in his part. Don An tonio's songs were pleaOngly executed by Mr. BROAOHIURST. Mr. BARTLEY undertook, for the first time, the character of Don Jerome, which lie supported with a great deal of comic humour. "Cu )))) ing little Isaac," and his mahogany-co- loured friend, the Dttenita. were represented by Mr. W. S. CH ATTERLEY and Mrs. GROVE, in a manner exceedingly creditable to their talents, and highly gratifying to the audience. After the opera, the serio-pantornimical ballet drama of La Pertness was revived. To use the technical Orem., it has been got up admirably. Mr. T. P. Coosa, under whose direction the pan. totnime has been produced, pent:mate% the ship wrecked hero of the piece very skilfully. efforts are ably seconded by Mr. Leecssteit, as Kunko, Mrs. litacorr, as Untba, and Miss AY LETT, as Madame Perossse. The American Wise Warriors are introduced amongst the dramatis per sona, and gave a sort of identity to the scene, which, without them, it could not pow... Their savage appearance, warlike evolutions, and rude, though articled ceremonies, impart to the pautotnime features peculiarly wilting—and singularly appro priate to the story on which it is founded. The entertainment% were received with the utmost eclat by a crowded house. Lord Viscount Mst.cir.i.E left Melville Castle for Landon nil Saturday morning. A duel was funglit yesterday morning nn Wim bledon Cu 11111111 l between H Jr.A A aitowaStivii and Lieutenant Fe.v s PI, which ended in the former being wounded in the thigh. The dispute which occasioned the meetilig originated in a gaining transaction. Parct OF BLEa.—A Meeting is rolled for Monday next on this Ellbirei.—(See Adrertisemeni.)

It will not be Imputed to us that we are the apolo gists of Sitiecurists, or of those upon oho i n the money of the public is lavishly squandered; but we have we shall always be enemies to falsehood and supporters of truth. We, therefore, hasten to declire (after informing ourselves upon the sof+ ct), that the assertion of Mr. GALE JONES, from the hustings iu Covent-garden. as reported last week in this Paper, namely, " l'hot the Marquis of AN GLESEY, with ow income of the Million per annum, is ill the receipt of a Pension front the public," is wholly destitute of troth mid foundation.

(Prom a Pruritic la/ Paper.) . . . the impression Miss O'Neill's acting has upon the minds of all who have witnessed her aStu molting powers. is a higher eillogium than any thing I cm) say in her praise. I shall therefore follow her no further in the characters she has appeared in, than as it will he necessary to substatitiste llns claims I make on her part of being the most iserfect actress that the age. petits'ss the world. ever pro. duced. If it he said that other octres.es have too duced still greater apparent elfrets. 1 reply. that grief IS seldom noisy. and the heart that sympathises with it is always silent : a frantic maniac will frighten women Into convulsions, without exciting the smallest sympathy ; while the crocked heatt, pressed down with a load of grief. may sink into the grave without starring a sob to escape from it. If Miss O'Neill would rant and tear more, she might probably produce all this violent rifect. but she would cease to delight us; she might harrow the soul. but we should shed no tears; nor would site, I nos persuaded. draw such crowded houses d 4 The studied actor is at best but a superior mimic, and must often commit inistakes. The mots who speaks and move* in such a way, because he has seen others in similar circumst nicer spent( and move in the seine way, eininot, its the nature of things, be so perfect as he who acts from the impulse of the very same (retitle, which ceased the s rola tions in real life. That Miss O'Neill acts entirely from the impulse of feelings it beyond a dispute ; she sews no artifice whatever! her face on the stage is just what Nature made it ; tbe tears run in par. rents down her eltreks, and her face coosequeuttiv becomes flushed and red ; yet it chang es deatlly pale whenever the occasion r.-quirrs it s'4lniltl do =qt. In Juliet she blushes at the rinses of her loser, in the very moment the poet would have a ished her ; and I believe too woniats either tat or on the Ma g.' 11116 it in her power to bluish whets she his is mind : in a word, her action, her voiee, her freisves, all are in unison with the sense; all give life and colouring to the character she puoirtrmyts. The variety of her power% it as wonderful us their excellence : never perhaps was there united iii one person so much softness amid so much stretigth of character. lu Bekidrra weber distress depicted in almost every circumstance; and at last, wheat she has reached the top of human misery, it finishes in madness. In every scene she goes as far us our imaginations can lead at, and yet its sin o n e instance can we stand forward and say this is lint in mature; in no one instance do our hearts • to heat re sponsive to her distress. The moonier in which she sopraids her husband for !emelt% her in the power of common slabbers, and her rehtike and contempt of the villain Slukeley, are beautiful specimens of that true dignity of nature I have before attempted to describe. Iler Juliet is the most charming pic ture of virtuous love that the mindCAll possibly conceive ; it has all the warmth and fervour of the passion, without any of its grossness: like Amelbs, in The Seososs, " supremely happy in time awaken.. ed power of giving joy," her lever is her dearer self; nothing selfish seems to enter into its composition ; it is a love that Eve might have felt before the ' Fall, that angels might look down °poll from [leaven with delight. Iler mental agony at the apprehension of awaking in the tomb, unwounded by the ghosts of her relations, is touching to the soul ; and if 1 had never been delighted with her Mrs. Oakley, her I f I jo.ay.u. coaxing of her nurse would have convinced me she might be as much the darling of Thalia us she is the litvotnite the Tragic Muse. Mrs. Beverley is Beleitlera brought more home to the feelings, mid all that have said of the one is applic.ittle to the other; hut I will here notice an excellence which is peculiar to Miss O'Neill, and that is, that she gives force to the most trifling sentences, which others are in the habit of slurring over as insigisificaot : this and her by-play are so excellent, that we may say of liar, and her only (except Mr. Kean), she is always the character, never lwrself. Iler penitence iii Mrs. Haller is so lively expressed—het gentle de meanour, her subdued and bewitching lance, take such hold upon the heart—that in spite of preju dice, in spite of ourselves, we forgive and love her ; and when she looks up to [leaven with her eyes bathed its tears, she is so divinely beautiful, that a !baptisel might here find the st perfect muds I for a repentant Magdalen; land we are so touched with her distress, that, like St. Cecilia, we wish to see angels come .lowa and conilort brr. IVliether Miss O'Neill would excel in what is commonly but Wisely called the higher walks of tragedy ; where a discontenied selfish spirit would wrap the world iii flames, and give her eternal soul in purchase of the breath of Nine; is a question yet to be deterinnied. If 1 might form a judgment of her character from what I have seen of her acting, 1 should imagine, 1 could almost hope, she would slot excel. To me she appears as if she could look down upon those baubles as contemptible trifles, which others estimate so highly ; and consequently could hardly feel those workings of ambition which would be necessery to give life and spirit to such a character as Ludy Macbeth. At the swine time it is not to be inferred that aw attentive mind may not, fur the time, embody itself iii the feelings of an ambitions Character, without bring any ways dis posed to wade through slaughter to a throne, or purchase- its wishes at the expruse of viitur. In the third act of that horrid and unnatural play, The Fatal Marriage, Isabella forgets all her love and softness, and in fact a Ludy Macbeth without her majesty ; the one would have murdered her husband had he stood in the way of a throne, the other strose to do it to save her reputation from the blasts of infamy. Her wild and ferocious joy at the return of her litisbaild, soil the workings of the coutending passions of love and false shame, are ao powerfully but naturally isouttrayed by Miss O'Neill, that even now I shudder at the remem brance of them ; and when she lifts up the dagger, and exclaims, " 'Tis but a blow," she has sit the majesty and that ambition that Ludy !Macbeth her self could have exhibited. Hut how e v er wr ong may be 'ter critical:6mi of those characters, however cor rect her delineations, slw will always labour undcr a great diradvaillage, and have to tight against pre conceived opini iii her exhibitiiiii of them ; strong masculnw • dis seldom the inhabitant of a delicate female form ; her' softness of ahtl the diorama, we delight to see her to, are to • blipovste. to what ee expect to see in a Lady aide. high, that we could hardly Iseliove (air. se.e es even if she dill excel ; stud sfter till slw would only w•tonittli /14 ; she 'night hurrow np the t I with horror, but would hardly snake on ionitro+ upon the heath.
