THE ZEPHYR AND THE ROSE. In the garden of Venus a red Rose grew, As sweet as a morning in May;' But the sun-beams had drank all her exquisite dew, And left her, alas ! to decay. A Zephyr, who long in his covert had loin, As the twilight advanc'd stole out, danc'd with the gossamers over the plain, And fann'd them in ether ahont. He saw the Rose drooping as near her he flew, And shipp'd round her withering stem ; Then the soft air of Wiling he over her blew, And deck'd her with many a gem. As lovely again'did appear the red Rose; As when in her earliest bloom; To the Zephyr she gave, as he sadli to repose,. All the sweets of her luscious perfume. 'Tis tons with a Maiden, whose tremulous breast Of Love the first syniptom betrays : If neglected, she droops—but if kißdly carest, Is happy the rest of her days! WILFORD. REGISTER OF FASHION.

MR. EDITOR—It is said that the Covent-gar den Manager really intends to bring forward the tragedy of The Italians, and that Mr. MACREADY is w personate the het°, If so, I have no scruple in saying that it will he better performed by him than as originally cast, external advantages, as well as superior talents, being much more in his fa vour. But will not the Wolves, anti other malignant spirits, as well as the Vmnpyre Critic, pursue the Author and his Play to the Rival Theatre ? And if so, how will the public voice be able to prevail against so malevolent and ferocious a herd ? • And atter all the mortifications, dis appointments, and insults, which the Author has endured, is he to have no " indemnity for the past and security for the future ?" FOR THb SUN. CANDOUR. Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, April 7, 1819. Mr. EDITOR"-It was not till this morning that I read the statement in The Herald of Mon day last, respecting the occurrences at this Theatre, on the first representation of The Ita lians. lam anxious to correct one error which it contains Permit me to assure you, Sir, I never asserted to the audience that Mr. KEMBLE was con fined by illness. The -Gentleman who reporied for Mr. BELL'S Weekly Dispatch, to whom I feel in debted for his nem acy, states me to have said, that on account of ill health, Mr. Ksmsns had gone out of town: This, Sir, was the fact, and 1 could not, I trust, be supposed capable of the folly, as well as meanness, of attempting tO im pose a falsehood on the audience at any time, much less at a moment when I had pledged my honour to the truth of my assertion. A placard, indeed, was exhibited, saying that Mr, liemana was " absent front illness;" but this, iii the hear ing of many persons, 1 had desired might be al tered, by substituting the word "'London" for " illness," though, from the confusion prevailing at the time, my request was neglected,am! the board hurried on the stage as it was. Mr. KEMBLE, ,vhos-3' health has been in a very delicate state since he came to London, and who has constantly paid the Most incessant and lithorious attention to the business of the Theatre in general, as well as Mr. BUCKE'S Play ii► particu lar, intending to pass the Passion Week at a friend's house in Derbyshire, had the full,acqvies cence of the Gentlemen of the Sub-Commi►tee in his leaving town ,on Friday, in consideration of his undertaking a journey of such length in the space of so few days. Humbly situated as I am, it is far from my wish to obtrude myself on the public attention . in a Newspaper. If, therefore, Sir; you will have the goodness, in an early fu►ure publication, by any explanation the above may afford, to relieve Mr. KEMBLE, as well as myself, from the construction I have alluded to, I shall feel much indebted to your politeness, and gratefully im pressed by your candour. I have the honour to be,_Sir, Your very humble servant, G. C. CARR. EXTRAORDINARY PEDESTRIANISM.—Crisp, the Pedestrian, arrived at Cribb's five minutes be fore twelve o'clock on Tuesday night ftom Do'ver, which place he left at four o'clock in the morning, starting again at ten minutes before four o'clock yesterday morning, on his sixth day's labour, having done 432 miles in .five days. He was much distressed, and so exhausted that he fell asleep when they were rubbing his legs. Cribb started him off, with a glass of gin and a pipe, hut it was not expected that he would leave Dover. What has been already done is more than was ever before heard of. LONGEVITY.—There are now living as resi dents in the parish of St. Peter, in Thanet, thirty persons, whose united ages amount to 2436 years —a singularity supposed to be unparalleled by any parish in Kent, in proportion to it 3 popula tion. PARLIA MENT. OF LORDS, APRIL 7. The Royal Assent was notified by Commission to the Gas-light and Coke Company's Bill, and three Private Bills. Ihe Commissioners were, the Lnrd Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Redesdale. The ()Adis were administered to the Earl of Bradford and Lord Docie. The Earl FoßTEscua presented a petition from the Churchwardens and Inhabitants to - the Parish of Stoke Monarch, Devonshire, against the Poor Settlement Bill ; 'but the 13111 not being before the Roos, his Lordship withdrew the petition for the present. The Freight Distribution Bill and the Inn keepers' Bill were read a third time and passed. Thomas 'a Divorce Bill pascd through a Com mittee, with amendments.—R , port to-morrow. The Bank of Ireland Cash Payments Bill, the St. Pancras Poor Bill, the Chalieery Clerks' Bill, and a Private Bill, were brought up from the House of Commons, by Mr. Loshington and other Members, and read a first time. BANK OF IRELAND-FURTHER' RESTRICTION ON CASH PAYMENTS. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, on moving the first reading of the Bank of Ireland Cash Payments' Bill, stated, that, it was consequential upon the Bill passed yesterday, with relation to the Bank of England, and that if it was right to pass the latter, it followed that it was equally necessary to pass, the former, and the same reasons also called for a similar rapidity in the passage of the Bill. He therefore moved that certain of the Standing Orders .be taken into consideration to morrow, with a view, to suspend them for the passing cf this Bill, which was ordered, and that the Lords be summoned.--Adjourned till to-mor row (this day.) HOUSE OF COMMONS,. The SPEAKER went to the House of Lords, where the Royal Assent was given by columissiun to several Bills, for which see the Lords. Mr. CHALMERS presented the report of the Commis-_ sioners appointed to regulate the passage by water be tween the Counties of Edinburgh and Fife.—Ordered to be printed. WATER COMPANIES. Mr. M.A. TAYLOR moved for leave to bring in a Bill for regnlating the supply of Water by the Company of the West Middlesex Water Works, and by the Grand Junction Water Company, midi to limit the rates to be charged for such sup ply of Water. Mr. JOHN SMITH was afraid the object of the Bill was not to reduce the rates, but he should be glad to have some further information on the subject. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR stated the object of the Bill Co be, for fixing a rate beyond which the Companies should nut be al lowed to charge any thing. The task which he had under taken was a very difficult one,' for while he was anxious that the public should pay only a reasonable rate for the water, be was equally desirous that the supply of that necessary article should be so abundant as to supply every possible want. There were some parts, of the town which were trot at all adequately supplied, and this particularly was the case in the higher districts of the parish of Marylehone. He had had several interviews with the Companies, and knew they were desirous to have fixed rates beyond which they should not charge, but their funds bad been much exhausted lat terly. It was, however, highly honourable to the New River Company to state, that they 'had never raised 'their rates one shilling, and they had pledged themselves they would do no thing tilt the effect of this Bill was known. Mr. J. SMITH thanked the Hon. Gentleman for his infor mation, and declared himself satisfied. The Bill was then brought in and read a first time: COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. M. A. TAYLORgave notice, that on the l'lth of May next he would submit a motion to the House for separating Bankrupt cases from the jurisdiction of the Lord Chancellor. LONDON CLERGY BILL. • Mr. WILLIAMS presented a petitiOn from the parish of St. Michael, Cornhill, against the London Clergy Bill. Mr. J. SMITH presented a similar petition from the pa rishes of St. Augustin and St. Faith,• stating that the living was 28G1. 1 3 s.Ad., in addition to the surplice fees, and the rent of the parsonage-house, which was let as a warehouse for 451., the Incumbent being a non-resident. .Mr. Alderman lIEYGATE presented Petitions from the Parishes of St. Stephen, Coleman-street, St. Margaret, Loth;. bury, and St.'Antholin and St. John the Baptist, in Waling street, against.the London Clergy Bill. He stated that the Vicar of the former parish was not a party to the application for an increase of tithe, although be constantly resided and discharged all the duties-of his office In a truly exemplary manner. Mr. BARNET presented a similar petition from the Parish of St. Swithin, London-stone, against the Bill. Only four of the inhabitants had refused to sign it. The petitions ,were severally read, and ordered to be printed, and referred to the Committee now sitting on that subject. TAILBORNE PORT ELECTION. Mr. ROBINSON presented a Report from the Committee appointed on this Election, stating, that they had adjourned till to-morrow, in consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Beckford, one of their Members. The Right Honourable Gentleman said, that he understood that Dr. Powell was now waiting to state the circumstances of Mr. Bcckford's illness to the Howe, Dr. Powell being examined, informed the House that Mr. Beckford had a considerable fever, and that lie should not suppose him: capable of attending for several days. . On the motion of Mr. ROBINSON, the House excused Mr. B. from any further attendance on the Committee. YMAItKET. Mr. G. LAMB presented the Report of the Committee on the petition relative to the removal ta the Haymarket from its present place, as an inconvenience to the inhabitants, and moved for leave to bring in a 811. Mr. HOLME SUMNER coruialai.ned that that publicity had not been given whic.li the Standing Orders of the House hid appointed to be given for the protection "of established rights; He had seen no reason why the orders should have not been complied with. Though the, inhabitants of that street were anxious for its removal, it was obvious that the • iemoval was' a question which interested all the inhabitants of that district in the City of Westminster. He should there fore oppose the Bill in every stage. Mr. G. LAMB contended, that the removal of the Market was called for on account of the very great improvements recently made in that neighbourhood. The avenues made in to the street would he rendered completely useless, ant: woirld be blocked up unless the Market was removed, because at present the carts reached front the Opera House to the top of the street. Mt. BYNG and Mr. MELLISH severally opposed the motion. Mr. Alderman WOOD 'said lie should support it, as he considered it a necessary public measure, and had no doubt that full compensation would be given to all who might hap pen to be injured by the removal. Mr. G. LAMB observed that it was not his intention to press the Bill rapidly through the House, and sufficient op portunities would be allowed of entering into full discussion on the subject. The House divided, _ For the Motion 87—Against it 33—Majority 54. A Committee was then appointed, consisting of the Mem bers for London, Westminster, Southwark, and the Home Counties. PARISH CLERKS' BILL. Mr. MELLISH presented a Petition from the Vestry in the parish of St. George the Martyr, against the Parish Clerks' Bill.—Read and ordered to be referred to the Committee on that question. CAMBERWELL INCLOSURE BILL. Mr. HOLM E SUMNER, Chairman of the Committee, pre sented their Report. The lion. Gentleman observed, that though as Chairman be had presented the Report, agreeably to the directions of the Committee, he did not concur in the conclusions they had comelo. He - moved therefore that the Report should be rec , dnmitted. Mr. Alderman WOOD was decidedly agaiits,t the Inclosore, tts it would be ix sevious inconvenience to many of thesciti zens of Londow, as well as to the Charity Children who went there fur amusement., He was contident the Home would not allow it to he recommitted:especially as the piece-to be inclosed was so small. it: neighbours, were also .against ite beilig inclosed. Mr..MARRYAT was also against the Inclosure on the same grounds as the Worthy Alderman. GRAHAA siiWorted the proposition,'and contend ed there was no evidence itetore the Comm trace of its being used by the Charityl liildien. Those who bad petitioned against the Bill were certainly not interested in it at all. Mr. DENISON contended that all the respectability of the, neighbourhood were decidedly against the luclosure. There was no ,proof of bull-baiting or any similar practices being carried on there. This 'field was of the greatest consequence to the ; tradesmen of the Borough, who bad not a Hyde• park in their neighbourhood In take their children to. On be half then of these childrew—on behalf of the respectaltAity of the neighbourhood—on behalf of the trArsowo of the !tor:in.:4h, he protested agitiliSt the hear, ben'!) Mr. C. CALVERT said,Vat only three out of the fts; Gentlemen who were the 011oority in ibe . Committee paid any attention to the evidence. Mr. Alderman HEYGATWand Mr. BARNET opposed the Mr. H. SUMNER explained. Mr. Alderman Wool) called upon the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. H. Sumner) to say whether there was any evide'nce before the Committee to prove. that this Common amounted to 40 11,1e3. Mr. FL SUMNER. pledged his word of honour that a Mr. Chapman did declare- in the ►cost unqualified Wall her that this field amounted to 40 acres. . Mr. Aldersnan 11 . 001) said, he could also pledge himself t hat the Committee asked the Clerk whether one such et i• deuce had been given , and he answered in the negative. The Hone then divided— For the Recommitment 56—Against it 83—Majority against the Reconunitnient 27. Mr. TENNYSON moved that the Order for the House going into a Committee Oil the Tielawliey Divorce, bill be post poned.—Ordered. ADJOURNMENT. Lord CASTLEREAGH said he had given notice that he should this day move the Adjournment of the House to Wed nesday, the 21st instant ; but in order to obtain the Royal Assent to the Batik of Ireland Cash Payments Bill, he was un der the necessity of postponing the motion foe Adjourumvut till to-morrow. CHARITABLE FUNDS. Lord CASTLEREAGH gave notice that on the 3d May next It was his intention to move for leave to bring in a 13!II to extend the powers of the Commission lately appointed in in gnire into Charitable 1. for the Education of ►he Loss er Order, to Charitable Funds in general,' RECESS. Lord CASTLEREAGH said it was his intention to m vs the Adjournment of the House to the 21st, but he should hare proposed an Adjournment to the following Monday, were it not for the inconvenience to which. it might put some Members. He trusted, however, there would be an understanding in the House, that no business of import ance would be brought forward till the Monday following the 2ist. The SPEAKER stated, that an Electionlltit stood for Tuesday, the 24d, and the House could not adjourn beyond that day unless it were disposed of. SCOTS' BURGHS. Lord A. HAMILTON gave notice, that on Thursday, the 6th May, be should submit a motion to the House on the subject of the SCots' Burghs. ALIEN ACT. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON gave ❑oticc, that on Friday, the 7.th May, he should wove tor leave to bring in a Bill to repeal. the Alien Act. Sir CHARLES MONCK moved for an account of the amount of the Husbandry Horse Tax for the year ending sth April, 1819. FEMALE CONVICTS. Mr. BENNET now begged to call the attention of the HOnse to the motion which he had pro mised, for preventing the sailing of the ship or brig" Wellington," chiefly with fem•rle convicts for New South Wales. The Hon. Member ob. jected to the system of transportation to Botany Bay, the tendency of which operated as a degra- dation and debasement of character. The n►iuds and morals those unfortunate fellow-creatures became entirely corrupted, and irons the vicious practices of the prison' to those of the ship, the transition was but short and easy. The eneral objection which he had to punishment in this way continued to confirm him in his opinion against the system of transportation. The grand object of punishment was to excite dread, and to esta-, blish example. By thismodeot punishment the in-, tendons of the Legislature were defeated. All abandoned criminals, deserted by society, looked upon sentence 'of transportation as highly fa:* vourable to them. This effect clearly demon- striated, that through this medium there was a want of the establishment of ,a sufficient and an impressive example. The Honourable Mem ber then stated the number of convicts which had .been transported in the year 1817, amounting to 2900. He censored the conduct of the Govton ment of the Colony for, not attending to the in structions sent out by Lord Castlereagh in the -year 1812, when his Lordihip was in, the War and Colonial Department. Not one step had been taken to carry into effect MS Lordship's in 'structi'ns for the better government of the con victs sent out to the Colony. In allusion to the Statute of the 19th Geo. 111., 'which' had been drawn up by the celebrated Sir William Black stone, its chief object had been misconceived. A preference was given by it to Penitentiary houses,. rather than transportation. That system had for• some years' been acted upon ; but for a Dum ber afterwards had been abandoned, till lately revived by the erection at Millbank. The Member was also more friendly to the Peniten tiary system than to that of transportation. But' :even the transportation system was defective.4' At •a late Assize, the Learned Judge pa s ssed - sentence of transportation on some convicts for seven years, though suck a sew ence had lately seldom been carried into effect. Then what be , came of the unfortunate persons thus situated ?' They continued to remain promiscuously tone- . titer in prison, corruntiog each other by a reel-'' procity of vices. At all events, the transporta tion of women to New South %Vales appear ed to lint exceedingly improper. It might be called a Colony, not a - Settlement, for no pro vision was made' for the good government and prbtection of the women convicts whets they arrived there: . Sending out women was its every view contrary to the principles of huma nity, not to - say a wanton violation of morality. The Hon, Member then related some instances of. cruelty pfactised.upon womru, by their con veyance from the country prisons to London, its order to be sent on board the ships destined for - the voyage. 'lle called their attention particu larly to two cases, information of which he had received from the Keeper ot Newt ate. One was that ot a girl who had been br . ought up from Cambridge, that had been chained in a manner so shockingly cruel, as to dety all the instruments which Newgate could afford to rottener the oil happy victim. They were at last obliged to get a .blacksmith, who was forced to use' his utmost skill and sitengt4 in emancipating the woman
