CONIBT.—This celestial puenomenon is now visible every night at an early hour. It rises as soon as the fixed -stars, and may be ob served to advantage - tor a considerable time before the Moon has d tuned its blaze by the superior volume of her light. 'file tail seemed last night once more perpendicular, and, together with the nucleus, Bushed torch at times with very unequal brilliancy. At one moment it grew very pale and faint, and at, the next emitted vivid corruscations. These alternations are no doubt produced by the accidents of our atmosphere, and not by nny pe cnliarities of this Comet. From certain indica tions, connected with an apparent alteration in its course, we rather suspect that it will remain longer within our hemisphere than had been ori• ginaily anticipated. PRIVY COUNCIL. — Lately a Privy Council was held at the Treasitry Chambers, at which Lord 1-lArtaowuv presided : It "consisted •of the Lord Chief Justices of the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas, and the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Sir William Scott, and Sir William Grant, and was attended by the Attorney General, &c. &c. to investigate the circumstances attending th• death of a Maltese at Athens, who was shot by Mr. William Kinnaird in January last; It will be recollected by our readers, that Mr. K. had presented himself at Malta for trial, and was sent home a prisoner to England. After a full investigation Mr. Kinnaird was discharged, being honourably acquitted of any charge against him. It appeared,' by the evidence transmitted by the Consuls of the Levant, that the event of firing on the deceased was in absolute self•defencs.

The Emperor of Moaocco (according to a let ter from Gibraltar, June 19), is about to take the field with an immense army against a large tribe of Arabi who lately defeated and wounded one of his sons, nod succeeded in making one of his wives a prisoner.

In, in, they swarm, tumultnous as the iiidr Of foaming breakers on a rocky shore. Th' enraptur'd throng in breathless transport views The gorgeous temple of the Tonle Muse. There, while her wand in shadowy pump arrays Ideal scenes, and forms of other days, Fair as the hopes of youth, a radiant band, The sister arts around her footstool .stand, To deck their Queen, and lend a milder• grace To the stern beauty of that awful face. Far, far, around the ras•ish'd eye surreys The sculptur'd forms of Gods and Heroes blaze. Above, the echoing roofs the peal prolong •Of lofty converse s or melodious song- •. • While, as the tones of passion Sink or swell, Admiring thousands own the moral spell.

And in wild accents round the trembling dome Proclahn'd the havoc of avenging Rome, While ev'ry palmy arch and sculptur'd tow'r Shook with the footsteps of the parting pow'r. such voice might check your tears which idly stream For the vain phantoms of the poet's dream— blight bid those terrors rise, those sorrows flow, Fur other perils, and for nearer woe. The hour is come. Ev'n now the sulph'rous cloud Involves tit l e city' in its fon'ral shroud, And far along Canapania's azure sky Expands its dark and boundless-canopy. The Sun, tho' thron'd on heav'e's meridian height, Burns red and rayless thin' that sickly night. Each bosom felt at once the shudirring thrill. At once the music st.opp'd. The song was still. None in that cloud's portentous shade might trace The fearful changes of another's face : But thro' that horrid stillness each could hear His neighbour's throbbing heart beat high with fear. A moment's pause succeeds. Then wildly rise Grief's sobbing plaints and terror's frantic cries. The gates recoil : and tow'rds the narrow pass, . wild confusicn rolls the living mass, Death,—when thy shadowy sceptre waves away From his sad couch the pris'ner of decay. Tho' friendship view the close with glisening eye, And love's fond lips imbibe the parting sigh. By torture rack'd, by kindness sooth'd in vain, The soul still clings to being and to pain. But when have wilder terrors clotted thy brow, Or keener torments edg'd thy dart than now. When with thy regal horrors vainly strove The laws of Nature, and the power of Love ? On mothers babes in vain for mercy call, Beneath the feet of brothers, brothers fall. Behold the dying wretch in vain upraise Tow'rds yonder well-known face the accusing gaze. See trampril to the earth, th' expiring maid Clings round her lover's feet, end shrieks for aid. - Vain is tle, imploring glance, the frenzy'd cry All, all is fear :—To succour is to die.— Saw ye how wild, how red, how broad a light Burst on the darkness of that midday night, As fierce Vesuvius scatter'd o'er the vale His drifted dames and sheets of burning hail, Shook hell's wan light'nings from his blazing cone, And gilded heav'n with meteors not its own 41 a * * * a* Oh ! who may s sing that hour of mortal strife When Nature calls on Death, yet clings to life? Who paint the wretch that draws sepulchral breath, A living pris'ner in the house of Death ? Pale as the corpse which loads the n 'r:ll pile, With face tionvals'd that writhes a ghastly smile, Behold bins speechless move with hurry'd pace, Incessant, round his dune:eon's caverned space, Now shriek in terror, a n d now groawin Gnaw his white lips, and sti ike his burning brain, Till Fear u'erstrain'd in stupor dies away, And Madness wrests her victim from dismay. His arms sink down ; Isis wild and stony eye Glares without sight on blackest vacancy.. He feels not, sees not ; wrapp'd in senseless trance, Ills soul is still and listless as his glance. One cheerless blank, one rayless mist is there, Thoughts, senses, passions, live hot with despair. * w a a * Inimortal spirits, in whose deathless song Latium and Athens xet their reign prolong. And from their thrones of tame and empire barrel, Still sway the sceptre of the mental world. • You, in whose breasts the flames of Pindus beatn'd, Whose copious lips with rich persuasion stream'd, - • Whose minds unravell'd nature's mystic plan, Or trac'd the mazy labyrinth of man Bend, glorious spirits, front your b lissful bow'rs, And broider'cl couches of unfailing How'rs. While round your locks th' Elysian garlands blow, With sweeter odours, and-with brighter glow, Once more, immortal shades, atoning Fame Repairs the hollows of each glorious name. Behold Pompeii's op'ning vaults restore • The long-lost treasures of your ancient lure, The vestal radiance of poetic fire, The stately buskin, and the tuneful lyre, The wand of eloquence, whose magic sway The sceptres and the swords of earth obey, And eV ry mighty spell, whose strong controul Could nerve or melt, could fire or snothe the soul. ...1,;,...•:ate.tt Anti thou, said city, rai s e thy drooping head,.

LEEDS, JULY 7, 1 t P )rasters to correct an error in my letter of yesterday. The Re. formers, without waiting tor the appoin.cd called on the Mayor, and took away their Rei'vi ‘•ition, without assigning any reason tor so doing. The conversation alluded to in toy letter tools place on their leaving the R,quisition. An alarming fact has just colite to my know ledge. The Ultra-Reformers thioogitont the kingdoM, particularly the mantilaettung diitricts, have tfialatained a most active correspondence during the past fort [tight ; and it has been determined among them, that there shall be a .general and - sitirultaneons meeting of all the Union Societies, on an early day alter the prorogation Of Parliament ; that they will they, publish their numbers to the nation at large, ahrf proceed immerliately. to cat ry the!r ulterior objectg into eXectuion ! What these ulterior objects are, may he pretty accurately guessed, front th(f_tenor and violence of the Resolutions and proceedings :of some of the la!e.Meetings. The reason siigried - 114fr. for the withdrawing . of the Requisiti . 9entri - the Mayor, before the rime appointetP 7 tir - bis answer, is, that the Committee .here had received fresh and sodded; instrnetioos from: the head Committee of Ma nugement, which instructions directed them to remain quiet ~until after the breaking-up of Parliametttl'----The qu et and peaceably-in clined part of the• community are by no means free from alatm frOm the prospect before us ; for this part of the kingdom (and 1 ant informed, 'Many other parts)-bas been for the last two years inundated with sedititus,reeolutionous, and bias phemons tracts, which have not only been sold cheap, but given away, and posted on the walls. etc. by thousands. . This industry on the part of the Ultras may ,well excite uneasiness, It is to be hoped, hots - ever, that the general good sense of the mann -factoring classes (tor they are not that ignorant rabble -which mischief-makers wish to find them), will induce them to attend to the admonitions O f •the•friends of peace- and good order, and serve to shield them and (heir families from that distress and ruin which acts of violence would undoubted. ly entail upon them. , .

Appleyard, Esq. of No. 9, Montague-street,llussell-squat‘, with stealing a large quantity of wearing apparel, consisting of silk stockings, shirts, &c. ; also gold .pins,•china, table linen, bed furniture, glasses, tea,- sugar, silver spoons,. plates, dishes, knives audjurks, .&e. &c. &c. It appeared, that the above female servant, had lived in the house upwards of two years and a half, and was vi sited by Isaac Hairsi,gn ; but during the time the . family were -in the country she had got pri- Nately married, and on her appearing in a state of -pregnancy she was discharged. In consequence of -several things having been missed, sulpicion tell upon the above parties ; more esrcially, as the man had been frequently seen to take large bundles away from the house. Upon Edwards and Wainwright, Police iOfficers, searching. the prisoners lodging, at No. 11, Princes- st re,t, Pimlico, accompanied by the butler and lady's maid, a great number of the above articles were identified ; and uptin'a second search, upwards of a coach load were found that could 'not be iden tified; Both the prisoners were fully committed fo'r trial. Mr. Harmer attended for the prosedu tion. The f-nuale prisoner has not lain in more than three weeks. DESPERATZ OUTRAGE-' eStCrday ab:int two o'clock, T. Izard, one of the Bow street pAtrole, stopped two men with a cart, con taining four sheep, supposed to be stolen, near Muswell Hill, Ilornsey. On his way with the cart and men, to get more assistance, one of them felled him to the earth by a dreadful blow on the head with a large stick, which nearly made him senseless ; they then drew his cutlasi, and in the most inhuman trimmer cut him very severely about the head. The two villains de camped ,on hearing another patrole coming up, leaving the cart and sheep behind them,— lzard now lies in a dreadful condition.
