.:"-PIPIT OF Tur, PUBLIC JOURtiAtl The two •lines quoted' by Mr. Duricoinbe in hie tate speech were erroneously given. The lines ap, ply originally to the favourite of Henry VIII., and run thus— .Turned by his nod, the stream of honour flows, - - `'His smile alone security bestows." The adjournment of the House of Lords was sud den and unexpected last night, and prevented Lord Clanricarde from reading certain letters ; which inOst have brought up, and will eventually bring tip, Lord Goderich again fur the-purpose of 'explanation ! The Ministerial Papers may well - desire theSe personal . discussions should cease, and decry them as irre!t:• vont : they affect the existence of, the Adininistra:- tion, and would ere now have led to the retirement of the person most .assailec4 but that the Inyisiblc roust have his agent in the Cabinet. As to the question of feeling between Mr. Huskisson and the late Mr. Canning being improperly introduced, the public have a tight to look with minute vigilante into the conduct of those to whoni the management of .the State is intrusted. If private incidents and conversations are not to be dragged to light with . a . view of pandering to • idle curiosity, neither are they to be withheld when they serv e to illustrate th e tha - Litters of public men, which, in this country, must be without blemish iithey would carry w e i g h t . Nor are the sacred duties of friendship to be - excluded from the estimate. A great political authority Lupports this opinion That wise people (the* Romans) were far from imagining the ten nexions of friendship had no tie, and obliged no duty; but that men might quit them without shame upon every cull of -. interest, They believed' private honour to be the great foundation of public trust; that friendship was no mean step towardS pa triotism : that he who, iii the common intercourse of life, showed he regarded somebody besides him- Lelf, when be came to act in a public situation, might probably consult some other interest than his . The original Army Estimates presented to Pate liament on the 9th instant have been withdrawn, for no purpose but that of correcting in a " perfect" estimate an. error contained in the calculation of pay and ailowariees . to the new Commander of the Forces. According to the first estim Ites, the pay of the Noble Lord in his new capacity was stated at 51. 13s. 9d, per diem, or 1,729 for the current year, commencing at the 25th of February. The corrected estimate .gives the pay at Eit. 9s. 6d. per diem, or 2,880/. Bs. for the remainder of the present year, making a.difference against the public of above 1,1501. It appears that Lord Hill, as if to mark more forcibly the true colour of the livery which he Ivears, bas, by a general order, continued Lord Fitz. xey Somerset in the statical of "Military Secretary." ,Thus are the public fears, as to the nature of the juggle which has been practised at the Horse- Guards, verified in their fullest extent ; and the army is now as completely in the hands of the Administration as the most venal borough.--;/bid. It was observed by Mr. Alderman Waithman, in the House of Cemmous, last night, that " Times sef necessity were always times of reform, and Go rnment never gave any thing to the people until distress had extorted the" concession from them." There is truth in this remark. rinancial erribarraas ment produces a Fine:nee Committee ; the people are pacified with the 'appointment of the Cominittee, and anticipate great thiugS from their labours. By the time, however, that the Committee have con cluded their labours, a glean' of prosperity ;• that is, an increase of a million or two in the Revenue—m ho/dens. the Government to disregard all the recom mendations of 'eduction, exeepe.perhaps, the dis missal of a few Clerks, who are without the protec tion of powerful connections. There is a constant tendency to increased expenee in all establishments; and so mach easier is it to increase than to reduce, and so many people are gratified by the former and so - mazy incensed by the latter, that we seldom hear of reduction but in the way of recommendation, while every addition may be considered in the.light of a permanent burden. Mr. Alderman Weidman ob served farther, that " every thing was prosperous in the eyes of Ministers whilst.they could raise mo ney to till their owu coffers and to sustain their scale of patronage. It never occurred to Ministers that even if there were a surplus revenue, the people' had right as well as a desire to be governed cheaply, and Ministers were not justified in extorting from them their money when their affairs could be conduct ed more ecooomically, and without the scandalous profligacy which usually characterised the affairs of this country." The people have a right, as well as a. desire to :be governed cheaply, just as a man who Ms in with a horde of Arabs has a right to keep his money from them. Horne Tooke, we believe, in the Diversions of Purley, explains its right, from its derivation, rectum, to be that which is commanded. The question is, in this case, who commands. The late Ministerial explanations served to explain very little; but they screed to show one thing, that 3litaiSters were'afraid of faeing the House of Dards; the Aristocratical element of the 'Government. Were they afraid at all of the People ? 0 no Why ? Because the people do tiot command—they are allowed to exist under our happy Constitution, tot the purpose of paying taxes, and enabling our landholders ,to turn their monopoly of the sale of food to account. They cannot be dispensed with. But they have no light ; 'because, if we take Mr. Tooke's - definition, it is they who only command who. have rights. A dog has not been long in a kitchen till he finds out, in a score, the functionary in authority, and respects his or her rights. They Who can reward and punish have rights,and Ministers know as well as the dog in the kitchen in whom the power to reward and punish _lies. They know that they are accountable only to the Aristocracy of, the country, as the preponderating power of the State, and their raeasures must be such as shall ensure their approbation. Now, does Mr. Alder nail Waithman really think that the Aristocracy of this country, who, alone, have rights (the rights of the others being unfortunately with Out that which alone gives a value to rights, the power to give effect to t h em ), would wish, or rather would allow, the people, to be governed Cheaply ? The people wish, no doubt, to be governed cheaply, just as the p o ple wish to have a free trade in food ; but Minis ters deem themselves exceedingly liberal if they give fair words to the people. But the House of Lords are in a situation to command, and they exact some thing more from Ministers than words. The Aris tocraCy and their connections must be provided for at The public expcnce. We must have large eats. blishments at home and abroad . for them; and any attempt to leave that important class of subjects un duly provided for, Would be immediately followed by what Mr. Huilsisson calls ominous signs. We have net a tight to be governed cheaply, because they who Pa sses, power have a right to govern us dearly. Mr. Alderman Waithmau will not surely question the right of sendin g Representatives from Rotten Boroughs into the House of Commons. • So long as that right is respected, so long 'must the right to govern expensively respected. Let its be thank ful, that though we have not the tight to complain, the right to .punish us for comp:ailting is not always enforced; so that as a compensation for our being governed nat i on o f Europe , we the most expensively are allowed the most liberty its complaining. There is the more merit in the moderati on of our superiors, as the ease with which the most severe punishments can be inflicted —as in the sentence passed on Mr. Eneas Macclonnell, for instance—proves how much we are at their mercy. Mr. Alderman Waithman asked, " Did the House forget that a standing as ,„ was unknown to this country be fore theßevolt7tion;s4 And how did it happen that the Revolution w as fol lowed by the introduction of a standing.ar my ? B e . cause 'Parliatnent became omnipotent by the It is officered Revo lution. The army is the Parliament. • by the Aristocracy of the country Land there can not be a greater farce - than to affect a constitu tional jealousy of the Artily, the Army and Parlia ment being merely the same power under 'different names. Mr. Alderman . Waithman observed, that " the plan of reduction (of the Almy) was ,to get rid of the men, but there was no design to get rid of the officers. The people saw that men in office were straggling . Pop what they could get, - and that the Public Establishments were formed for other objects than those of public defence." Study Mi nisters do not entertain the uneonStitutional design leMplOying'the army against the Hottse of:Lords, utcluding the Bench of Bishops! With such.a hero as the Duke of Wellington at the head of the Tree ,ury add the army, who knows but he may take it into his head to abolish rotten boroughs by main force, and to reduce the ArchbishOP,Of .Canterbury to the unchristian etinditibn N1 ; 11;Ch Bishops existed in the; tlire urst centuries of Christianity. Mr. 4onck, whose observations we have often observed to differ much front the - conventional cant which so generally pervades the speeches of Members, ex posed very happily the hypocrisy of the influen tial people of this country. Speaking of the pen sions to widows and children of officers, he ob served, a he should be happy to see the Avitioiva of deserving men, their children, and their children's children, provided for if possible'; but, bounty must have its bounds, and it Was the height of injustice to cast such an increasing burden on the people. Et was said, that in France the widows of officers were left in a state of destitution : he denied it; means for a decent provision had • been contrived, because by law every officer, before he was obliged to make a settlement on his wife to the amount of his pay. Thus, a Lieutenant, whose pay was 1,600 francs, before he could marry, was obliged to .secure that amount yearly to his widow. He should be glad to know why the same system could not be adopted with equal advantage in the British service ? Why were the poor to be - lectured on the impolicy of matrimony ? Why were they to be re proached with making their families a burden to the parish, while encouragement was given and bounty was held Out to officers to marry, and leave their wives a charge upon the country? Surely, if the widows of officers were thus pensioned, the widows of the private soldiers had au equal claim." In fact, the.,-higher the individual, the more we are entitled to expect that he should be actuated by the dictates of wisdom and prudence; and, therefore, the officer who marries without means, acts more reprehensibly than the common • soldier, and the widow of the latter is consequently better entitled to relief. But the higher ranks of this country deem all deviations - from justice and 'propriety on their own part quite venial; and having the national trea• sures at their command, they compel the eouritry to make good their want of prudence. Hence the difficulty in which Ministers are placed to provide for the spawn of our Nobility and Gentry.---Morn jag Chronicle. Without taking up the • matter at all, either as a party or personal question, all impartial persons seem to be agreed that nothing can be more unsatisfactory (Ive had almost said *rile) than the explanations offered by Mr. Herries of the causes which led to the breaking . up of the late Administration. Well may Sir Joseph Yorke, in his blunt, eccentric way, compare the Squabbles alluded to to those of "a set of children ;" and with equal truth did Mr. Brougham describe wlit had passed, as a corrobo ration of the well known. remark of "how little talent the world is governed by." We always re- gret when anything occurs to lower public men, as a body, in public estimation. We need not be told that the greatest men are sometimes subject to all the weaknesses and frailties of our common nature, which seein as if interposed, by the inscrutable de sign of Providence as a barrier to the otherwise too presuniptuous ,. . daring of human judgment. 'But when we see men in high. stations involved in habi tual littleness; and their conduct on the commonest occasions anything but what their stations require of them, one of two alternatives present themselves to our choiceviz., either that we have fallen into an age of littleness and imbecility at variance with the " march of intellect" which_ we are continually boasting of—or else that - those .who.have the sing ling out of persons to serve the State are sometimes most unfortunate in their choke. Be this as it may, the sooner the curtain is drawn over those unseemly eihibitions, the better; and the sooner the better that the country is relieved from the probability of their recurrence.—Morning Iferakl. In another part of our paper we have given an ac count of the exportation of, Wool for the last year, by which it wily be seen that the revenue derived from the tax on its exportation amounted to about 2,000/. only. But we would ask why such a tax should be kept up ?—who to please ?-- 7 what inter rest to satisfy ? We are advocates for taxes on itn ports of all descriptions, We 'do not mean so heavy as that it should be worth the while of smug glers to run away with both the import trade and re venue ; Wit so heavy as that imports should yield as much as possible towards the maintenance of the 4wernment—believing that a tax on importation, being comparatively unseen by the tax-payers, is pre ferrable to Window or other 'Taxes seen by the tax payers. But as for taxing exports of any description, the idea appears to us as absurd as to allow bounties 'on 'exportation. We hope Mr. Huskisson will turn his attention to this foolish tax .on the, exportation of Wool, and.procure;its,abroption, for we can see no eason why it should be continued.—/bid. The Central Agricultural Comtnittee, which still continues to hold its sittings in Palaceyard, has is sued a circular address, dated from Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, entitled " A Memorial to.his Majesty's Ministers." After stating that they bad learned the intentions of Ministers to propose to Parliament an alteration in the laws regulating the importation and sale of Foreign Corn, they declare their conviction that the measure would be ruinous to the cultivators of land, and they trust, should they be called on, to be able to maintain and prove this proposition. They state that since the subject was discussed last year, a great depreciation had taken place in the va lue of corn, and declare that they had hoped, in stead of any change in the Corn Laws, he Ministers would hare devised something, rather, for the fur ther security or relief of the agriculturists, or would have imposed a tax on foreign wool, or would have distributed the onus of the poor-rates more gene rally on British property, or have considered some mode of exempting them frorin the claim of tithes in kind. They ultimately pray, that if it be unalter ably determined to o)range the present system, a protection fully equivllent may be insured.—Nero Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WoR.SHIP-STREET.—A question of some import ance came on here yesterday, upon the hearing of an in formation tiled by Byers, against Mr. William Horne, the licensed proprietor of ~the Holyhead and Chester Royal Mail, for not having " London" painted upon the coach, iu putsuatiee oldie LLitli Geo. 111. The tact was proved, and indeed was not disputed. Mr. Muria, a solicitor, attended for Mr. Horne, and the. solicitor of the Post-office also attended. The defence set up by the former and supported by the latter was, that all the snail coaches were built by the Government, and lettered as they pleased,--that Mr. Horne nor any one else had any. right to interfere, and that by the 50th Geo. mail coaches w ere exempte d f rom a nd the sth Geo. IV., the regulations applying to stage coaches, including the painting Of the word " London." Byers contended, that Mr. Horne, as the licensed pro was liable, and that the exception did not include tphrieepatori,nung of the word " Loudon." It appearing however very clearly, that the coach was entirely the property of the Government, Mr. Horne having no control whatever over it, or its fitting or painting, and he being merely the contractor for horsing it, the 'Magic trate. (Mr. BROUGHTON), decided that the defendant could not be rendered, liable for the perulty, and therefore dis missed the inferipation. This i the first case brought forward against a, mail coach. Another information was brought forward by Byers, a l ninst the same coach, fur not having the number of Pi s seng;gl l . allowed to be carried paintect on the outside, but which vas also dismissed upon the same ground. Eight other'informations were withdrawn. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. ' Crown4 , office; Feb. 22,'1528.

MURDER IN MONTAGUE-PLACE The trial of William Jones, charged with the murder of Mrs. ...Toffs, wai-not concluded in our Paper of ye§terdaf; after .the evidence in support of the prosecution had closed, Mr., Justice BAYS' r addressed the prisoner j ob erving, that the time was now come when, if he had any observations to make, he might do so. • The: prisoner bowed respectfully, and unfolding. a paper, in a sloW unbroken voice, read nearly as fol lows : "My Lord and Gentlemen of the Jury—l feel confident of your attention and favourable considera tion of the few words I have 'now to address to you, If now for the first time you learned the charge against me, my situation would be one sufficiently alarming; but how much more frightful is it in con sequence of the spreading throughout the country of details which have excited universal horror. I will mention only one instance of the misrepresentation with which my name has been associated. At the very time when the bill against Me was before the Grand Jury, a man was engaged near the Sessione house blowing a horn, and circulating the report that I had made a full confession of this murder, and had committed suicide in the House of Cor rection. I might complain also of the way in which every, little circumstance has been turned to my prejudice, but that I am willing to, believe that a desire for. justice was a part- of the actuating motive. - From the first moment when this charge was brought against me, I have denied ; it. Would that I could with equal truth declare myself guiltless of all other offence, but I feel that I am ob liged to make my own misconduct a part of my de fence. Whatever may have been my errors, how ever, the slighteStthought of murder never crossed my mind. I owe it to an aged mother and other friends, whose minds have already bled too Much for me, to declare that I am guiltless of this charge. Thrown amidst 'the temptations of the town at an early age, my life was wild and dissolute, dissipation led to crime, and at the time when the offence with which I am- now charged was committed, I knew that a charge of forgery had been made against me, arid thus it was that I fled at the approach of the officers. With'regard to my examination before the Magistrates, I beg to say that many questions were put to me that you, who value the principles of English law and justice, must condemn. I admit, however, that I did make a statement before the magistrate, but it is not true; and thus, in order to avoid suspicion of one crime, I was obliged to con fess to others. One of the presumptions against me is, that .1 was intimately acquainted with the un fortunate Mrs. Jeffs. I solemnly declare, however, that I saw Mrs. Jeffs but three - timesin my life. The first time I saw her was at the horiae of her son, Mr. Knight, in Anderson's-place ' Cornwall-road. The se cond-time was at his house inCursitor-stre e t, w h en she told me she invited Mr. Knight's daughter and my sis ter to take tea with her, and she asked me to accompany them.. The third time I saw Mrs. Jeffs was when I accompanied Knight's son and his sister to the house in Montague-piece. We saw Mrs. Jeff's upon that occasion but for a short time. I never saw Mrs. Jeffs after the mouth of July last. Mrs. Jeffs, Knight, and I, went together. to . Montague. place, 'when he went into the house, I believe, to ask for money. • I saw . her upon that occasion, which was some time in last July, and I never saw her after. I took tine name of Edwards to avoid detection, knowing that I had unfortunately rendered' myself liable to the law, in consequence of what I had done a* Mr. Duncomb's. Under such circumstances, I should be more than insane to have gone to Mon tague-place, -where- most likely I should have been, refused admittance. As to my dress, 'and the cir cumstances of suspicion attached to the coat, I am enabled on the clearest proofs to , answer that. part of the charge. Mrs. Williams has a son employed by a surgeon who resides in Blackfriars-road. That gentleman gave him a coat which was damaged, and the stains upon which were said to be occasioned by blood. In my distress I borrowed this coat; and, unfortunately for me, the very worst construction vas put upon 'a circumstance purely accidental. In the same way the blood upon the shirt -collar was made use of as a proof against me, and the waistcoat was said also to be stained with blood. As to the stain upon the collar, what. becomes of it when it is proved in evidence that I cut my thumb. So little did the circumstance of cutting my thumb occupy my thmights, that. when Ilvai questioned about it by the officers, I totally forgot how or when I did it, and returned an answer at random. With respect to the razor sheath, I beg leave, my Lord and Gentle men, to draw your par titular attention. I trust you will examine this part of the evidence carefully. and say if any eve could ;swear to a razor sheath, •of which there are hundreds of a similar make and de scription sold daily in the metropolis. It is a &inn . - mon razor sheath, and has nothing whatever about it to mark as peculiar. With respect to the edge of it being notched, I can answer it. One day, when I was alone in Mitre -street, quite unconscious of what I did, I cut the razor sheath bit by bit with the razor, and flung them in the fire. I am moat . anxious, to satisfy you as to where I was on the evening of the 31st of December. Mary Parker and I left home that night, and proceeded together to Blackfriars-bridge. I went to the Adelphi Theatre in the Strand, arid- remained there until the, per formances were over. I then joined Charlotte inn Poppin's-court, about twelve o'clock. The bells of St. Bride's were then ringing what they call the new year in. It has been said if I was at the . theatre I could prove the fact, but it was impossible for me to do so situate as I then was. It is not pretended that lam a hardened murderer,-and if not, is it likely I could be cheerful as usual, and have supported a falsehood by- bringingiMary Parker to the theatre ? My possession of money, -soon after the commission of the offence of which I am accused, is another charge against me; butlettne remind you, Gentlemen, that a person living the diSgraceful and irregular way in which I lived, May be one moment without a farthing, and the next possessed of money. And here,Gentlemen, I must* justice to the unhappy woman who lived with ine, by declaring . that she was totally unae quainied with many of my offences, and that I care fully concealed them from her. There is one point I cantibt pass unnoticed, I Mean the letters said to be , written by me in prison.. The first letter I wrote, the second I know - nothing about, end - the third was written under the impression that I knew a person named Morris; at the White 'Lion; in Wych-street.., —As to the second letter, I only entreat that the manner . in which it, was obtained may be . clearly is, that I denythe s o t a e t n e t d l e A n l , l I Wi e tl a i l o l u s t ay anethevremark, I leave my fate in your . hands, under the , impression that you will throw aside any prejudice that may have heel excited in your minds against inc. The man whois dishonest may not be cruel. The thief may shrink from the crime of murder, and I can with truth de clare that this has always been, the state of my mind. No propensity to cruelty, or desire to commit vio lence on any Mullen being, ever formed a part of the many. evil inclinations_ by which I have been in fluenced- I de _so.lemnly. declare ,before God that I am innocent of the crime of which I a m now ac cused."Fsvidence was then adduced to prove that the soner had always, from childhood,been distinguished for humanity, after which the'Jury-retired for about 20 minutes, and brought in a verdict of : Not Guilty, - . Co U RS I NG ExTrutonDtNAßY.—Equestrian, pedestrian, and gymnastic feats, have been . frequently re col corded, hut a coursing match with a coach and four horses, 1 9 somewhat novel in the annals of sporting. The pat. AC ners by the new mail, coach to Stroud, Were recently gratified by a course of this unique description for some distance between that place and Cirencester, a hare having. rim along the road before the coach for a considerable time' when a gentleman on the box observed that he had never seen a better roadster. At the moment, a small- terrier that was accompanying the coach caught a yew of puss, and after a smart chace, which afforded infinite a musement to the passengers, both animals got into a quarry nearly at the same moment, when poor pass fell a sacrifice to her staunch pursuer.— Ch e itenham Chranieb., PRICE OF RAW FAT _per stone of 81b.—Feb. 22.

Went off briskly at very.stiff prices. O n the low and middling descriptions of there is evi dently, a decline of Is.' pet Cwt. ; .but for the good and fine qualities, of trhich the scarcity continues to increase, the Iwices. are firmly Maintained, and in some instances an advance has been given. The stock in hand in the West India Docks is now only 5,80/ hhds. and tree. less than at the seine time last year ; the sleliverics from the ware houses also are less, those of last Week upwards of .8013 casks, but the delivery of Mauritius Sugar has been very extensive, and more than sufficient to nuke up for the shortness of the delivery of West India Sugar. The im portera of Mauritius continue to appear anxious to make salts immediately on arrival. Upwards of 1,000 bay ars advertiied for to-morrow. Delivered last Weeb from West India Ducks, '2,56 hbds. 175 tilts: - Stock on hand in ditto, on 18th inst. 20,713 bbds. 1,828 tres.

FoitarGiq Sc4ait,a-There is apparently an inclination to purchase, but atpresent nothing of consequence has trims pired ; 163 chests Havaunali were offered by public sale this morning, when the middling and good white descrip tions sold from 449. to 465. 6d., low whites taken hi 39.4. 6d. a 41s. Gd. ; 175 lihds. Porto Rico Sugar were alto offered, but in consequence of the bids being considerably under the prices expected, the whole were withdrawn. 'REFINLD SUGARS-The demand for brown lumps has very considerably incrwed since last week, and as high as 82s. has been obtained for good common brown qualities in brown paper; these : descriptions continue very scarce ; the middling descriptions of lumps and loaves are also more in request for crashing, a fair stroke of business having been done in crashed this week; the fine grocery qualities are more looked for, but the prices of these descriptions arc exceedingly low, in proportion to those of the inferior qualitiei of refined goods. COFFEE.—Two public sales of Plantation were brought forward yesterday, consisting of 438 casks ,ordinary... middling Jamaica, and fine ordinary Demerara ; the quality of the Jamaica being better than any that has. offered lately, caused a briskness in the sale, and the whole was disposed of at rather an advance in price ; of Foreign Coffee no sales arc reported this week. Delivered last week from West India Docks 204 casks, 1,088 bags. Stock on hand in West India Docks (on the 18th inst.) 11,556 casks, 85,663 bags, &c.

Faurr.,--The, demand for new Denia Raisins, in baskets, has considerably increased lately, and sales to the extent of about 8 to 9,000 baskets have been made at the quotations ; New, red Smyrna Raisins are more enquired after, and some sales have been made at 435.: there are several ex port orders in town. The demand fur Currants 'is not so;. lively as might be expected from the limited stock on hand at present. Two public sales of various descriptions were attempted to-day, but very little appeared to be sold at either. The greater. part of the Figs; -of which 10,927 drums were offered of from bad to fine quality, : were taken in from 455. to 60s. ; 10 butts and lb carotecls old Trieste Currants, taken in 725. a .755..

POPULAR POETRY.-.-Sir PHILIP SIDNEY said, that one of the old ballads of England, though re peated only by a poor blind beggar, !shook his fpirdeloorn than the blast of a trumpet. And for .ourselves, we . must Confess that we have no.recollections more vivid - -none More delightful than those .which arc associated with the minstrelsy' of nations. Human happiness, spread over, the nta:ises of mankind, is, of all objects, the most touchingly beautiful; and hinnan happiness, decorated as it were-with ali the adornings of music and poetry, has something in .it tvhich, if it .reaches not the sublime, is -close ! upon .the borders of sublimity. The preservation of popular song, from generation to generation, is in itself an evidence of its innate value. Men take no care of that which they-do not esteem ; and some merit or other must attach to those compositions which are treasured ,up- in .the memorise, - vibrate through the bosoms, and sound swestly.bi the ears of countless trib e s, or spread through countless tongues._ 7 hey are instructive, from their. moral influmersiven though their poetical excellence should be questioned. ,xn the day of national adversity, they become rallying points for patriotism and freedom-seeking ezeOlort,: ;TiKusla„ti* c i harp is hung upon the willows, the wild winds still whistle, awakening harmony among its .atrings.—L o „d m Revieth.,; BIRTHS.
