THE ARMY. LITERATURE. POEMS, by THOMAS GENT.—Foolscap Svo. T. Cadell and W. Sams. Mr. Gent, a volume of whose poems we have now before us, is well known in the lighter walks of literature as the author of several delightful songs, sonnets, &c. We believe that it was his Monody on Sheridan, and some lines written on the Death of the Princess Charlotte, that first raised him into notice as a poet. The first mentioned of these is decidedly the best of his serious compositions the versification is smooth and harmonious, the thoughts are just, and the whole exhibits the sympathy of a kindred mind with the deeds he passes in review. This poem, and some others that have appeared at different times in various publications, are now reprinted in the volume before us ; added to these are a great number of others that have never yet been published. The sonnets and songs in the volume that might advantageously be quoted, are almost innumerable ; but take the following as a specimen of Mr. Gent's serious style NIGHT.—A. SONNET. Now when dim night her shadowy veil has spread, See want and infamy as forth they come Lead their wan daughter from her branded home, To woo the stranger for unhallowed bread Poor outcast ! o'er thy sickly tinted cheek Aud half clad form what havoc want bath made; And the sweet lustre of thine eye doth fade, And all thy soul's sad sorrow seems to speak. 0 ! miserable state ! compelled to wear The wooing smile, as on thy aching breast Some wretch reclines, who feeling ne'er possessed ; Thy poor heart bursting with the stifled tear ; Oh ! God of Mercy ! hid her woes subside, And be to her a friend, who bath no friend beside. Mr. Gent, however, excels most in the joyous and ludicrous ; for proof of which we refer the reader to " the Wisest Men are Fools in Wine." The poet's last poem, " Taking Orders," " To , an impromptu," " The State Secret," " Mister Punch," and many others. One of them we cannot help extracting : it breathes the very spirit—but let it speak for itself. REFLECTIONS OF A POET ON GOING TO A GREAT DINNER. Great epoch in the history of bards ! Important day to those who woo the niue ; Better than fame are visitation cards, And heaven on earth at a great house to dine. 0, cruel memory ! do not conjure up The ghost of Sally Dab, the famous cook, Who gave sue solid food, the cheering cup, And on her virtues begg'd I'd write a book. For her dear sake I braved the letter'd fates, And all her loose thoughts in one volume cramsn'il ; " The accomplished cook, in verse, with twenty plates," Which (0 ! ungrateful deed !) the critics d—d. D---n them, I say, the tasteless envious elves; Malicious fancy snakes them so expert, They write 'bout dinners, who ne'er dine themselves, And boast of linen, who ne'er had a shirt. Rest, Goddess, from all broils! I bless thy name, Dear kitchen nymph, as ever eyes did glut on ! I'd give thee all I have, my slice of fame, If thou, fat shade ! could'st give one slice of mutton. Yet hold—ten minutes snore and I am hless'd ; Fly quick ye seconds—quick, ye moments, fly ; Soon Ann I put my hunger to the test, And all the host of miseries defy. Thrice is he arm'd who bath his dinner first, For well-fed valour always fights the best ; And though he may, of over-eating, burst, His life is happy and his death is just. To-day I dine—not on my usual fare ; Not near the sacred mount with skinny nine ; Not in the Park upon a dish of air ; But on true eatables, and rosy wine. Delightful task ! to cram the hungry maw, To teach the empty stomach how to fill, To pour red port adown the parched craw, Without that dread dessert—to pay the bill. I'm off—methinks I smell the long lost savour; Hail, platter-sound ! to poet music sweet; Nosy grant me, Jove, if not too great a favour, Once in my life as much as I can eat ! There is a piece on the rupture of the Thames Tunnel, written July 2, 1827, which the repetition of the accident would render just now a very fit subject for extract, were it not rather too long for our limits; it is in Hood's style, a string of puns from beginning to end. There is another piece also in which Mr. Gent has very successfully imitated the author we have just named. It is called " 1827, or the Poet's last Poem." The Author takes a kind of review of the different writers of the age, who, he says, have all anticipated his subjects, and at last he comes to Hood : I had a budget full of fun, But here again I'm lost, undone ! I'm so forestall'd—that, faith, I could Half quarrel with—my lively Hood For odd it is, my " Oddities " Are even all the same with his ; Would Sherwood, (him of Paternoster) Assist my pilferings to foster, I'd turn free-hooter---nay, 1 would E'en play the part of robbing Hood— But brother wits should never quarrel, Nor try to " pluck each other's laurel," And though my income's scarce enough To find friend Petersham with snuff, Here's peace to all ! and kind regards ! And, Brother Hood among the bards. We must now close our notice of this very agreeable volume, which will well repay the trouble of readers of all sorts, for it contains an infinite variety of matter, which the shortness of the space we have to spare has rendered it im possible for us even to allude to. Lord HOLLAND and the Marquis of LANs nowNE were in the eecond box above the stage, at Covent garden Theatre last night, to witness the new tragedy. At first the Noble Marquis was only partially visible to the house ; bat, after some time, both leant over the front of the box, intently noticing the play, or quietly conversing, as if they neither were nor ever had been disturbed by any state cares, or affected by any state intrigues. - - _ In the Foreign Quarterly Review we find the following story, which the Reviewer affirms to be true :—" The Duke and Duchess of ANIIALT COTHTN converted ; and they set to w or k m os t hav v i go rously ebeei in converting converting the Court, which very dutifully yielded to the strong arguments of the Sovereign, except one Maid of Honour, who hell most resolutely to her Protestant principles. After some time, a Gentleman ar m Vienna, at Anhalt Coact:, to make some stay there, and an attac h men t ensue d b etwe en him and the y ri o v u e a d g il l ' a o dy in qu es ti o n ; but when marriage was spoken of, h e declared th at as h e was a R oman C a tholic, he could no t in conscienc e unite himself to a heretic. After many struggles, the unfortunate young woman yield to love what she had denied to argument. We are informed, however, that her scruples were still so strong, that she fainted both in making her recantation, and at the first procession she was compelled to attend. When ail was over, the lover came to congratulate her on her better mind, and to assure her that he paid his addresses to her for the good of her soul, marriage being out of the question, as he was a Priest and a J esu i t : a f ac t of whi c h h e conv i nce d her, by taking off a smart wig he wore, and sh ow i ng h er th e tonsure !"

BRIGHTON, JAN. 22.—1 t is with extreme regret we have learned here of the indisposition of his MA JESTY at Windsor. The grief and alarm which it has oc casioned amongst all classes cannot be unnoticed. A letter has been shown at the Pavilion, dated Windsor, Sunday evening, which states that his MAJESTY had so far re covered from his late attack of the gout, that he was that d a y enabled, without any assistance, to leave his private chamber, to which he had previously been confined, and at tend divine service in the private Chapel. The anniversary of his MAJ ESTY'S accession will be celebrated here on Tues day with great eclat. LEWES.—The agriculturists of this district have drawn up an excellent petition, which lay on the. tables at the Star inn on Tuesday last, for signature ; to he presented to both Houses of Parliament when assem bled. The petition complained of the very ruinous state of the South Down wool trade, which it attributes to the present policy of the Government, , viio encourage the growth of fine wool in foreign countries, in preference to that grown in England upon our Downs. The principal source of national wealth in the North of Germany is the growth, of their fine wool, while a few years ago very little sa ie t o a ttt oheir r n a as paid material, ateri a t l o , it ; they but w England offering are ady sale course encouraged retl by this inducement to extend its growth, which has since been the cause of great loss to the English flock-master. —The scope of this petition appears to relate, not to the ineness or value of short wool, but to the question whether it be possible to dispose Of it at any price.—Brighton Gazette. PRICE ID. NATIONAL. DISTINCTIONS. In the Hue and Cry of January 22, a list of 102 de serters is advertised. Of these there are—English, 34 ; Irish, 52 ; Scotch, 16. The colour of the eyes is thus described : English, Irish. Scotch. Haze 1.................. ...

Most of the Irish are described as having short necks. Described as having large and wide mouths :—English, ; Irish, 19 ; Scotch, none. Nearly all the long-necked Scotch are weavers and spinners. The chief peculiarities appearing in this list are, that the Irish have as frequently blue eyes as gray or hazel, while the blue eyes among the English and Scotch are to the gray as one to six,—that the Irish monopolize all the wide mouths,—that there are more fair-haired men among the Scotch than among the Irish, and more among the Irish than the English. MURDER IN MONTAGUE-PLACE. BOW-STREET. EXAMINATION OF JONES CONTINUED FROM OUR PAPER OE YESTERDAY. Mr. Stafford.—Try and recollect what occurred on the Thursday. Witness.—(Me.ry Parker.)—Jones was at home all day; but he went out about seven o'clock, about an hour before I went out. lie did not say where he was going. I went out, a little after ei g ht o'clock, to Fleet-street. He met me a little after twelve that night near Shoe-lane, in Fleet-street. We did not go to the same house in Poppin's-court, but went straight home. Nothing particular passed on Friday. We stayed at home all day on Friday until the even ing, when we went out together, and parted in Fleet-street. Nothing passed between Jones and me about money. I had received no money that week, except half-a-crown that a gentleman gave me to buy a pair of gloves. On the following day (Saturday) nothing particular happened. Mr. Ham.s.—Do you recollect the occasion of your leaving your lodgings the following day ? Witness.—Yes : Mrs. Williams came to us on Sunday about twelve o'clock. She said to Mr. Jones, " William, I have got some bad news to tell you ;" and she said, " there have been some Bow street officers after you in Wootton-street. They called at Mrs. Mills's to know where I had gone to live, and they asked her (Mrs. Mills) if I had got a young man and a young woman in my house." I said " What for?" Mrs. Williams answered, that they said that they could break into any house for murder. I said, "he has murdered no one; it is his friends who are after him." When I said, "he has murdered no one," I meant Jones. I then said, " Jones, for God's sake go home this evening, and do not let them send after you any more." Jones said he. would, and then said, " Mrs. Williams, no body knows where we live but you." Mr. Jones desired me to ask Mrs. Stapleton to let her little girl go oat and see if there was any one waiting about. I agreed to meet Mr. Jones down by the Surrey Theatre, and after a little while he came to me. We went and slept at Lombard-court, Fleet street Mi. Stafford—You told us that you washed some things belonging to the prisoner, did you notice any particular stain upon any of them ? Witness—l re collect a stain of pickled cabbage on one of the sleeves of his shirt ; a piece of pickled cabbage fell upon it one day at breakfast, as he was sitting at the table without his coat. This happened two or three days before. I saw no other mark upon the things I washed for him. Mr. Stafford—Had Jones ever told you any rea son why he wished to keep out of the way ? Wit ness—He said he was afraid to be seen, because he had left his place when his master was out of the way. He said his master had something to do with the law. Prisoner's Solicitor—Was it not the prisoner's habit to stay at home all day, and go out at night ? Witness—lt was. Mr. lIALLs—You stated that Jones did not tell you where he had been when he joined yt,u in Fleet street on the first of the new year at half-past twelve in the morning? Witness—He did not tell me at the time, but he told me some nights after, that he had been to the Adelphi to see a piece called Nelson on Monday night ; and I said, " How sly you were not to tell me." Mr. HALLS—Did he say he had been alone, or with any friend that night ? Witness—He said he had been treated: that he had no money himself. Mr. HALLS—Was he in the habit of sending you for newspapers? Wiiness—He sent me for one, a Sunday's paper, about three weeks before. Mr. Stafford—Did you and he ever walk towards the squares, or did he ever tell you that he had any acquaintance in the neighbourhood of Russell square ?—The witness replied in the negative. The witness was then asked if she had met with a person named Knight, of Cursitor-street, Chan cery-lane; in the company of the prisoner, or if she had ever heard him mention such a person ? She replied, that Jones told her that he had courted one of Knight's daughters before he went to sea; but on his return, about five months ago, he found that she was married, and living in the country. Jones told her that he was acquainted with Knight's son and Mrs. Knight, but she never beard he was ac quainted with any one else belonging to the family. Mr. StaflOrd—Did the prisoner ever mention any relation of Mrs. Knight's—an old person. Wit ness—No, Sir. AI% HALLS—You never heard him mention the mother of Mr, Knight Witness—No, Sir. He never told me be knew Mr. Knight's mother. He never mentioned her name. (The witness having concluded her examination, which lasted nearly five hours, signed it, and was allowed to retire for refreshment, in company with Furzeman,) The witness, Mary Parker, was re-called, and in answer to a question by Mr. HALLS, she said that she remembered having seen a small black razor-case at the lodging in Wootton-street. It being now nearly five o'clock, Mr. HAT:Ls said he should defer examining the rest of the witnesses until to-morrow (this day), when the investigation will lie resumed at ten o'clock in the morning. in the vemence in oases, are under Sunday, JAN. 22.—The overflowing of the "' avant course, and the general excess of wate l r i c i o n nt n ai o l l . or, the earth, have occasioned much injury and ;neon o o f n Sa il i i t o tr l t i l i a la y ; afternoon This cellars of Chichester, more particularly the suburbs. most, and the ground floors of many / 1 water.

The broad proposition here laid down by the pe titioners goes, as the commissioners will perceive, to affect two out of the five companies which supply London and Westminster with water; as well as to affect all the companies supplying the borough of Southwark and Lambeth. It should, however, al ways be borne in mind, that, while the Grand Junc tion Company have, with their eyes open, gone down, to the nuisance, that nuisance has, in the progress of time, reached up to the Chelsea Company ; Chelsea being, at the period of its corporation in 1723, a mere village, at the distance of two miles from London. In its actual condition, this enormous metropolis is said to present a spectacle, to which the history of ancient and modern civilization affords no parallel. Within the limits of that civilization, there is reason w believe, that so large a mass of human beings never befor e congregated on so small a space of ground. New buildings rise up before us, with tie rapidity of an oriental vision, of every form of arch,- tictural design, spreading► north, south, east, and * — ebt. In the neighbourhood of Chelsea, scarcely a blaik of grass has been left growing in the eateU sire range between the rear of Grosvenor 7 plaee tind, Sloane-street; and a mass of buildings are spring ing up west of Grosvenor-place, consisting of s quares and streets of the first order, and comprising house,E fit to be the residences of the most wealthy. In such a state of things, and a time when th-: improvement of the metropolis is become so much the order of the day, it cannot, I. think, but be use ful, to ascertain whether, from a multiplicity of causes, certain spots, or positions, in the river Thames, running parallel with the habitations of -Wore than a million of human beings, may not have be come so changed, and the water drawn up from it so deteriorated, as to render it no longer a fit source for the supply of a necessary of life to any consider able portion of the inhabitants. That the water in that direction has become deteriorated, is the opinion of the petitioners; an& in support of that opinion, t beg leave to lay before the Commissioners a few facts and observations. 1. With regard to the water of the river Tbame - ;., taken up at London, two or three popular errors ap pear to me to prevail. The ground upon which those persons proceed, who maintain that the Thames water, so taken up, is the best of all possible waters, arises out of a notion, picked up from some old book of history or medicine, that it possesses a certain power of self purification, not possessed by any ether river. They tell us, that, in the course of a long voyage, it will, after a month or two tossing about on the ocean, " work and ferment like liquor, and become re markably fine." And hence it is concluded, roost logically, that the water taken up by the Grand Junction Company, near a common sewer, will, by making a short voyage from Chelsea to Pactdington, and remaining a day or two stagnant in reservoirs, in like manner ferment, and become remarkably fine. That the water of any other river, if equally loaded with filth, would purify itself in the same manner, it' subjected to the same operation, there can be no doubt. In its excessive impurity must we look four the phenomenon. Another popular error, proceeding apparently upon the old maxim, that " what will not kill will Itif'ten," is very prevalent throughout the country._namely, that to the rich and unctuous quality of ' t h e Th ames water, in the aforesaid direction, 'Lind not to the virtues of hops and malt, the country is indebted for its far-famed London porter. The fact, however, is, that the water of the Thames is not used in the manufacture of this national beverage ; seeing that the great houses of Barclay, Ilanbury, Calvert, &c. have, at vast expence, sunk wells of an immense depth, and have thereby obtained an abundant supply of pure and soft water._ the third error which appears to me to prevail is, that the impurities of the Thames are all carried away, and swept into the ocean, with every ebb of the tide. The fallacy of this notion was shown at. the public meeting at Willis's rooms, by Mr. Mills,. That gentleman observed, that, as an engineer, he would maintain, that it was not in the power oh' any company, let its capital, its intelligence, and its dis position, be what they might, to find a supply of pure water in the direction pointed out in the allega tion. " The contents of sewers, and the mass of other filth with which the river was load e d, were, " he said, " carried about 30 miles by every ebb tide. The same water came back by the flood; and thus, let the supply of London be taken how it might, if it was not derived out of this flux :tad reflux or filth, it would of necessity be impure if the filth emptied into the Thames at the ebb were not brought Wel:. by the flood, it was evident that we should have salt water at London?' 2, The following descriptions of the Thames water, as taken up at London, will, I have no doubt, he found the tine ones : " No water carried to sea," says Dr. Trotter, " becomes sooner putrid. When a cask is opened after being kept a month or two, a quantity of in flammable air escapes, and the Water is so black and offensive as scarcely to be borne. Upon racking it off into large earthen vessels, and exposing it to the air, it gradually deposits a quantity of black, slimy mud, and becomes clear." Mr. Newton says, that " in a still of 25 or 30 gallons, the first three gallons distilled should be thrown away; because the water taken up from the Thames at London is charged with so much septic : matter, that - the fluid whi c h first runs off in distiiiing7 will not keep many day s : t h ree or f our gallons mast likewise be left at the bott om o f t h e still, on aCCOUTID of the residuum of filth w hi c h t h e y contain." Mr. Ralph Dodd, the e ng i n eer, silYs that tt the. water of the river Thames is excellent until ; .t conies not 00 - to Laudon, where it re ceive!, the filth a w ls h o i‘' m h aisttedrisscohfa discharged ) (I I a t f u i r very Pertucio us to human life." the comipbn sewers, buf- the foul condition of the ri ver Thames If between was Chelseae anti London Midge, when !. the above description s WVe Written, it must inevit ably be so at the f ese at moment, i n a great l y in s creased degre° , ff n letlY it was c ons id ere d neces . s3ry 4 1 89, far the sake of the health of th e metro polis, the polls, to P tiver in th e greatest poss ib le state of p arit y Orders were, from time to time, issued by the corporation of London, forbidding all persons from castin g any soil or filth whatever into it, to the great annoyance and hurt of the said river: ju d so far back as the veer 15:35, an act was passed, in the reign of Henry VIII., in which it WB5 enact ed, " That if any person or persons do, or procure any thing to be done, in the annoying of the stream, of the river Thames, by casting of ( l u ng or . rubl,, s h, or oth er t hi ngs , i n t h e sa id r i ver, h e s hall f o rfeit, f or so offendi ng , a h un d re d s hilli ngs .', But this was not considered enough :—" If any person or per sons, i n :;rest rains, swept the soilage or filth off their houses into the channels, and the same afterwards is con veyed into the Thames, every person so offending ;hall forfeit, for every such ofienee, one shilling and eight-pence." 4. Within the last few years, a total and entire ehaage, in this respect, has taken place, in the magi cipal regulations of the metropolis. That which, three centuries ago, was consid ere d an o ff ence , to b e visited with penalties, the inhabitants are now ex- . f ..'.T
