KORNER'S POEMS. On Rauch's Bust of Queen Louisa of Prussia How lovely still! Tho' now no more Thy locks in auburn beauty pour; No more thine eye, of humid blue, Beams like the star thro' evening dew; Forbid alike to beam and weep, Those orbs are clos'd in marble sleep, Those braids in anoveless marble twine; Princess!! thy throne is now thy shrine. Vet, matchless as in life, the spell 'Lqves on that pallid lip to dwell; And still the soul's immortal glow Is radiant on that dazzliag brow. Soft be thy slumbers, soft and deep, Till start thy people from their sleep; Till thousand beacons blazing bright, Shake their wild splendours on the night; 'fill on the mountain breeze's wing. The shout of war thy landsturm fling ; And gleams in myrian hands the sword, So deep in old Invasion gored. God is the guide!—thro' woe, thro' fear, Rushes his chariot's high career; ' God is the guide !—thro' night, thro' storm, Speeds his resistless Angel's form; And red in many a doubtful fight, Our fathers' swords carved out their right. • And still thro' field, and fire; and flood, We'll seal the proud bequest with blood, And give our babes the boon they gave,— The glory of a.Freeman's grave. Bring, Spirit, bring the splendid day, That sees our ancient banners play : Then shall be heard the trumpet-tone, • Where all is silent,now, and lone : From forest deep, from uniunn'd vale, Shall gleam the sudden flash of mail ; Sudden along the grey kill's side Shall proud and patriot squadrons ride ; Keen as his mountain eagle there, - Shall bound the fatal tirailleur ; There swift as .wind, the dark Hussar • Wheel his broad sabre for the war ; And mountain nook and caveru'd glen Give up their hosts of marshard men. Then, Form of Love ! no longer sleep : Thine he it on the gale to sweep,, With Seraph smile, with Seraph power, To lighten on our gloomy hour, To bid the fainting land be wise With wisdom from thy native skies; Give the strong heart, the hero-will, Angel ! and yet'protectress still. TWELFTH CAKES. Among the Jeux d'esprit of these fanciful solids, exhibited yesterday, we select the following : On one was a representation of John Bull, in a very pensive attitude, from whose mouth a scroll was pendant, bearing the following most appro priate inscription " Now the banner of peace iv unfurrd, Alas! why is butcher's inert dear ? Now tranquillity reigns through the world, Why keep up the price of strong beer? "0 ! tell me, ye sages, so famous for thinking, Why thus I'm restrain'd from the pleasure of drinking ?" A pedantic schoolmaster, on another cake, is made to exclaim— " 'Sblood ! what is the use of this general per, Has it lowered the price of rum, brandy, or max On a third cake, Sir H. M.'is depicted. He so liloquises as follows : " I hare stolen a Rose, it is true, " The owner may now wear the willow— " But my moments of pleasure are few, " Since I find all the thorns on my pillow." ROYAL ACADEMY. We had not room yesterday to notice the first Lecture for the present season, which was given on,Thursday night at this place by Mr. FUSEL', the Professor of Painting. As in his former Courses, the learned Professor trace the origin and nrogress of the art, animadverting on its na tural and unavoidable deficiency in the earlier stages, till it reached to a very high degree of ex cellence in the works of LEONARDO DA VINCI. To the powerful operation of Religion on the, human mind, the Professor ascribed much of the improvement which the Art had derived as well from the devotion of the Artist as from the enthu siasm of Genius. The vast powers of MICHAEL ANGELO received their due homage, and in the opi nion of tharofessor that wonderful genius had fixed the utmost limits to the human mind in this pro vince of its exertions. He considered the works of MICHAEL ANGELO as the great land-marks for all Students who were ambitious of the higher ex cellencies of the Art. He examined_ also the pro fessional characters of the contemporaries of that great man, pointing out the exact nature of their distinct merits. In the course of his Lecture to the several qualities - of the Italian, Dutch, and Flemish Schools, and in conclusion, he recapitulat ed the chief points of his discourse, and exhorted the juvenile candidates for graphic honours to due attention, prudence, and perseverance as the only means to attain them. Mr: JOHN JAMES ASHLEY.--This Gentleman, who was one of the sons of the late musical ve teran, who so long and so ably conducted the Oratorios in this metropolis, and all -of whose offspring have been highly distinguished for ind sical talents, died on Thursday last. lie ,possess ed great professional talents.. was an admir able performer on the organ, and celebrated for his taste and skill as a teacher of singing. Many of his female pupils have been much admired for taste, simplicity, and expression. As Mr. ASH -LEY was really an ornament of the musical world, his death is to be regretted by the public, as well as by his family and friends, particularly as he was in the prime of life. Mr. li.r.NIBLE is announced for twelve nights! at the Dublin Theatre, to, commence soon after Christmas. An extraordinary operation in Surgery has been lately performed by Mr. CARPUE, of Dean-street.• Au Officer of distinction lost his Nose in actual service in Egypt, 'though otherwise enjoying robust health. On his return home hearing thrit Mr. CARPUE had, in his Anatomical Lec tures, mentioned the possibility of supplying the defect ; and that the story, of Taliacotius* was not afable, there being a very beautiful work of his on the subject, in which the whole process was described, and it being known that in India one of the Casts of the natives were in the habit of performing this operation, applied to that Gentleman;' who readily undertook the experi ment. The consequence was, that by bringing down a piece of the flesh and Skin from the fore head, he has completely - succeeded - in forming a new nose, which partakes s of the regular circula tionof the blood, and is not to be distinguished from the original. The forehead has also reco vered the:flesh and skin which were cut out to supply the deficiency ;—and it is justly regarded as ale operation highly honourable to Mr. Carpus, and to the science of •th - epresent day. This does not allude to Hudibras's version of the erudite Doctor's practice, as described in the following lines v " So learned.Taliacotius, from - The brawny part of Porter'sb— Cut supplemental noses, which 'Would last as long as parent breech." • A private letter from Leghorn 2d December, has the following passages : " I suppose you know that we have had here for a fortnight or three weeks the Duke and Duchess of BEDFORD, who were confined in the Lazaretto, where they were obliged to perform quarantine ; they were liberated last week, and next day they set out for Florence. Whilst he was in the Lazaretto, he amused hiMself in study ing Italian ; his master was obliged to perform qtiarantine with him, which deprived many Eng lishmen here of learning Italian, for their master was immured with the Duke. " Ere this you will have heard something rela tive to NAPOLEON'S going to the island St. He lena; it is reported here very currently indeed, To-day I ?earn that some ordnance has arrived front Porto Ferrajo to be sold prior to his depar ture : he is quite disgustyl with the numerous strangers who annoy him requesting audience ; no fewer than 600 have been there within the last three weeks. " The Marquis of SLIGO, I am told, lately sent a note to the Emperor, with his compli ments, requesting to know when. he should wait upon him. This did not quite please the Hero ; it did not ask permission—so he ordered the Mar quis off his territories. This lam told is fact, but I cannot vouch for it." The third Subscription Coneert produced a full and delighted room, chtelly attracted by the cele brity of Mr. BARTLEMAN, who is confessedly the first bass singer in. the kingdom, and a model of the true English style for all.simgers. He-was in fine voice, and introduced a MS. song from " The Tempest," (an Ode by Dr. DRAKE), with vast grandeur, yet true simplicity ; he was rapturously received, and- his execution enthusiastically ap plauded. A general encore followed his last song o'f." Farewell to .the Nymph of My heart ;" and sorry are we to find that Bath, after his next appear rance,must bid farewell to these straiqs.of the heart. Mr. A - .LopEa, in a song of .Bishop's, displayed a most pleasing style ; as did Miss BARTLETT, though under the influence of a cold. The Ter zetto composed by our departed RAUZINNi, was charmingly executed by these two last performers and Mrs. ASHE ; and this Lady'never sang better than in the Italian Recitative and Air, '' The Nightingale," in which she was accompanied by Mr. ASHE'S melodious flute, was also an exqui site treat. \Ve must not forget that Miss Astra's Concerto evinced both her parentage and educa tion : she is indeed a legitimate daughter of liar- mony (Bath Herald.) Last night Temple-bar made. a most brilliant appearance, being lighted up for , the first time with gas. It is said, that the daughter of an English Ba ronet deceased (she who was considered as the most beautiful women in. England when the Po tentates were here), and who accompanied her mother and fatherin-law , to Vienna, is married a la main gauche to Prince AuGusTus of Prussia. The fashionable world are divided in opinion 'as to who is ;he - best letter-writer, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, or Sir HARRY MILDMAY Of the two, we think the former is the most inflammatory. The Publicans say, that if Mr. WHITBREAD wishes to raise his popularity, he must lower the price of his Porter. JOHN LIVESEY, Esq. pf Stourton Hall, in Lin colnshire, has, in consideration of the extreme pressure of the times, signified his intention of Li:filming the rents of his tenants one-third. Yesterday, as a carriage was on its way home from the coachniaker's, after having undergone - a complete repair, on its• arrival in Bond-street the horses became unmanageable, and set off at a full gallop. In their furious progress, they came in contact with the shop of Mr. GRIFFITH, one side of which was completely demolished in the shock. The pole of the carriage was broken, one of the see wants was slightly hurt in the forehead, and one of the horses was severely cut. On Wednesday se'nnight was committed to - Durham Gaol, to take his trial at the next As sizes, Anthony Siddle, of St. John's Chapel, in Weardt.dc, miner, charged with being found in the township 'of Forest and Frith, with his face blacked and otherwise disguised, armed with a gun, and threatening to shoot one of the Gatut~ keepers of the Earl of DARLINGTON. CANTERBURY, J. 6.—Yesterday the follow ing melancholy accident occurred •;at Whitstable." As Robert Newing, one of the Company of Dred gers of that port, was out fishing,-accompanied by his son, aged sixteen years, he accidentally fell overboard his son immediately threw.a rope to his assistance, which he fastened to his body, and with which the lad ineffectually attempted to haul him into - the boat, but not having strength to `accomplish it, the unfortunate man, after being dragged by the boat nearly t wo miles,was drowned. I. He has left a wife and nine children. At a General Court-martial, held at Bombay on Friday, the 18th day, of 3.‘l,arch ; President, Col. RICHARD Coots, Judge and Advocatt.:•General ; Lieut. Michael Hanly, of the 6tith regiment, was tried, on charges preferred by Lieut. PEIRD, of - the 47th Fool, to the following effect Ist. For having, on the 7th of Feirruary preferred against Lieut. Peird, charges of. a frivolous, vexatious and inaliciobs nature, 'highly reflecting upon his honour and character,.bah as an officer and a gentlennut, and which ch; rges c iulei not be substantiated before a General Court-martial as>erubled on the ist March fur the purpose of investigat ng theln, and of hich the said Lieut : Pei rd was fully acquitt,d. 2dly.

For highly improper and shameful conduct in having on .the 10th of March rolled round the sword Keen, a carica ture, in which was represented the figure of Lieut. Peird, with the words " rascality and cowardice" written under. neath. The Court having considered the evidence, found the prisoner guilty of .the-Ist charge : with respect to the. 2d, that he was guilty, with the exception of the words " as my arrested sword." On the 3d charge he was. also found guilty, with one or two exceptions, and the Court sentenced him to be dismissed the service. Ou Monday a Court-Martial was held on the surviving Officers and crew of his Majesty's sloop .Dowinica, for surrendering themselves to the American armed schooner Decatur; but in conse quence of the indisposition .Of • Sir J. A. Wood, Captain of the Pon►pee; it was postponed to the 3d. On Tuesday the Court assembled, when, after investigation of the circumstances which led to the capture, the following judgment was delivered :—" That, in the opinion of the Court,, the surviving Officer, Mr. J. T. Nicholls, and the crew of the said sloop, had conducted them selves throughout with courage and bravery, and they were most honourably acquitted." WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. Yesterday a General Meeting of Magistrates was held, when W. MAINWARING, Esq. was una nimously re-elected Chairnvin. John 4e,. JOhn•Thompson, James Thompson, and Wnr. Davies, all boys under fourteen years of age, were,nut to the , Bar, charged with stealing a fire-' ball from the shop of Mr. Corsair, of Sloane street.—John Lee was found guilty, the others were acquitted. The Chairman adverted to the frequency of these sorts of depredations byjuvenile offenders, who, he said, seemed to think their youth .would prove their excuse. It was become the ~duty of the Court to correct this erroneous opinion, and to mark their sense of this description of offence with some severity of punishment. The Court had directed him to sentence the prisoner to one month's imprisonment, and be publicly whipt. Richard Chapman, a boy under fifteen, was in dicted•for obtaining - a leg of pork from Mr. James Brunkill, a pork-butcher, in Crown-street, Soho, on the 7th of NOveMber last. It appeared from the statement of the. prosecutor, that the prisoner came to his shop on the day mentioned, and . ob tained the meat by pretending that it was for Mr. Welsh, one of the prosecutor's customers. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and the Jury found him guilty. Win. Singleton was indicted for a brutal assault on the person of Dinah Goff, a child abeiut eight years of age, on the 4th of December last. It appeared, that the prisoner had been invited to dine with a person who lodged in the house of the "child's parents, and having been - left alone with the child, be took that opportunity of effecting his diabolical purpose. No. discovery was made till three or four days after, when the state of the child's health caused an investigation to take place, and the child then related all the circumstances. The Jury, without hesitation, found hint guilty, and the Court sentenced him to twelve months imprisonment in the house of correction. Simpson, who was yesterday convicted 'of -as saulting Westcott, a constable, in IlyciF Park, on the 2d of August, was sentenced to be - imprisoned three Months. Eliza Jones, who was yesterday found guilty of keeping a disorderly house, Crown an Sceptre court, St.James's-street was this morning brought into Court, and permitted to go at large on her own recognizances, upon condition that the nuis ance shall be abated. On Monday night, as two soldiers of the Wex ford Militia were escorting the, baggage of a (le,. tachment of that regiment to Nine-mile hous e , they were met and attacked by a large party of misguided wretches,-.who took from the%n th e i r muskets and a bayonet. On this tutelligence reaching Lieutenant Hatton, of that regiment, he, lsth Hits with another Officer, and a party of, th e sars, set out in pursuit, and took• four or five fel lows into . custody, who, however - , could not be. identified. -: Bat the folios-,ping morning, the Rev. John Ryan, Parish 'i c iest of arangre and Ballyneil, being informed, of this outrage, imme diately set out, and g‘oing through the parish, admonished the rpeo4ie not only to refrain from" the corruption of some abandoned ruffians, who, he said, it was clear had got amongst them 7 -but to use their utmost endeavours to arrest them in .their clinics, and deliver them up to justice. He decla , :ed to them in the most solemn and impres sive manner, that if order was not restored in the parish, he should feel it his duty to make such re presentation of their conduct as would oblige them to be More alert in banishing from among them sedition, tumult, and disorder. The admonition of . the worthy. Pastor had the desired effect : the same" evening the two muskets and bayonet were deposit ed at a cottage near SouthlOdge, and sent off to Nine-mile-house, next morning, hy the Rev. Father Ryan, who had them safely delivered (here to the military detachment.—The conduct of the Rev. Gentlemen is its best eulogium ; while the event spews, that the operation of the Peace Preserva tion Bill Makes every man an interested party in the conservation of public tranquillity - : for if we now wink at passing disorders, we must assuredly pay hard for them when they-come to an insufferf able height.—(CloAmet Advertiser.) •
