" Sykiester (says Mr. Campbell—who ac counts,,l think, very naturally for the origin of Milton's acquaintance with his poem,) was a Yu- Titan, and so was the publisher of his work, Mumphrey Lownes, who lived in the same street with Miltons father ; and from the congeniality of their opinions, it is not improbable that they might have been acquainted. It is easily to be conceived, that Milton often repaired to the shop of Lownes, and there first met with the pious didactic.- poem." Among Sylvester's epithets, Mr. Campbell meets with " the opal coloured morn," which he considers as a beautiful expres sion, and as not used by any other poet. But ,what is this to the " rosy-fingered" morn of Ho, mer ? and what au hexarbetrical conclusion is the Greek expression--" rododuktuloi Eos." ton makes the morn witit..". rosy steps," sowing " the earth with orient pearl." It is a beautiful image. CAUTION TO SERVANTS AGAINST SHARPERS.— About one o'clock on the 26th, a tall, thin man, of rather genteel appearance, and who looked sickly, with hazel eyes,.brown coat, dark Ra'nta loons, and green silk umbrella, called at the Rev. J. Campbell's, Kingsland, inquiring for the cook, when the subsequent conversation took place between him and the servant at the gate, in the parlour, and afterwar6 in.the kitchen. " I am the cook :" " Where do your friend's live ?" Why do you wish to known that ?" " 1 am come from Canterbury." ." I have no friends at Can. terbury!"' 44 I know that, -but I am last from Dactoro : commous;Concerning landed property." 64 It cannot be for me., Sir," . 46 What was y our husband's name ?" (Having observed a ring on her.Tiuger.) li4iffnObtatned his name, he said, 46 You are thevery person I want ;" and asked various questions regarding him; on which she burst into tears, when he desired her not to mind her husband's death, for there 'wee more pro.) perty left her by . her husband's relatives than she could ever spend. Being in a parlour with out a fire, lie complained of having the ague, and desired to be shown to where there was a fire. On being shown to the kitchen, he inquired if she had any papers belonging to her husband. Saying she bud some connected with the Trinity House, as her husband was a sailor, h e re . quested a sight of those papers. ---- She ran hastily up stairs,- to bring them from her chest. Coming down, she found him walking out, saying he was going to inform a gentleman outside that she had papers. On reaching the gate, he called out; 44 William, she has got many papers," hut she saw no person to whom he called. While she waited, holding the door, for about ten minutes, one of the family came to it, who, on hearing what she waited for, declared her gentleman to be a thief, which she could not credit, until she found two silver table-spoons had been stolen from the dresser in the kitchen. A pug dog, who had witnessed Lis theft, contrary to his custom ran after the man into the street, harking, and holding hit» by the tail of his coat, till called off by the unsuspicious servant. John Stewart, late vintner in Perth, was whip ped through the streets on Friday last, being the first instalment of the sentence passed upon him at the late Circuit Court. This man was tried for the murder of his wife, but was only con victed of the minor charge of culpable homicide. His case caused a considerable sensation among the lower classes in town, who, during the trial, expressed their opinion of it so decisively, that Mr. Cockburn, in his address for Stewart, was thrice obliged to give way to them. Under these circumstances, it was thought necessary on Fri day to have the assistance of the military, in ad dition to the civil power; but fortunately the mob were not outrageous, and confined the ex pression of their di►approbation to hissing and groans.

EDITOR—As the misfortunes of ALEK. ANDER SELKIRK undoubtly gave to DE-Fos not only the idea, but even furnished him with the outline of his admired Adventures of iiebituoti Crusoe r I beg leave to send you the following account of the unfortunate Scotsman, whose story was originally published in the Voyage of WooDE9 ROGERS ) who brought him back to England in the year 1711 in consequence of a serious misunderstanding with his Captain, he chose to be put ashore on the island of Juan Fernandez. The re was left with him on this uninhabited spot his sea chi!si, 'his clothing and bedding, a musket, one pound of powder, a large quantity of bullets, flint and stfsel,s, knife, a kettle, a few pounds of tobacco, a hatchet, a bible, and some ot h er rel i gious books. To these were added his mathematical instru ments, and pieces concerning navigation. The resentment he felt against his captain, by whom he had been ill-used, made him rejoice at the present change, until the moment when the ship put off, for then he felt concerned at parting with his companions, and shrunk from' the idea of spending his life in complete solitude. He was in no fear of wanting food, for the island a bounded in gouts, cats, and rats ; but he first gathered nourishment from shell-fish on the shore, and more especially from turtles, •which he found in great abundance, and on, which he fed with pleasure, until it disagreed with his stomach, except when made into jelly. The search for food, and the grati ficatiOn 'of hunger. and thirst, were his only provisions in his lonely condition ; but when these were satisfied, then did he feel most forci bly the loneliness of his situation, and most anxiously desire once more to behold the face of a human creature. lie grew melancholy and de jected, and frequently fell upon the point of committing suicide, until the force of reason, and by frequently reading the Scriptures, and ap plying himself to the study of navigation, when he had spent eighteen months upon the island, he grew quite reconciled to his situation ; this change in his ideas, together with the serenity of the sky, and the beauty of the climate, now rendered his existence the happiest upon earth. He now devoted leis time to• the building of a hut, which he spent much time in embellishing, and amused himself in at tacking the sea monsters which often visited the shore. To provide against want of food in case of illness, he lamed young kids, so thnt they could not stray far from his hut, nor-ever be able to recover their natural speed. He kept these in great abundance about his hut ; and such , was the degree of swiftness he acquired, that he could easily catch a goat that ran up a hill at' full speed, but never when they ran down any abrupt declivity. . , His greatest annoyance was from ratsocifich at one lime filled his humble habitation', gnawing not only his clothes, but even his feet 'Bo'he lay ast.ep. In order to procure a guardagainst these unpleasant visitors, he nursed and 'tamed a great number of kittens, which kept witch around his bed, and protected him .from h's impudent and voracious enemies. Against sea-lions, some of which, he said, had jaws capable of seizing, and tails equal to breaking the limbs of any'rnan, he waged a:more dangerous, but nn equally, success. ful war. Full of spirits and of activity, by act fug with a little coolness and prudence, lie was enabled' to kill them without much difficulty.— As he had remarked that hoWever formidable the jaws and tails of these animals might be, they could not turn round without:great labour ; placing himself in the middle, and as-close to them as he could, he might easily dispatch them With his hatchet. The howlings of these mon. sters he represents as having at first tilled hii mind with horror, yet when'habit had reconfiled him to these discordant sounds, he listened to them with no small degree of pleasure. When all his articles of dress were worn outs he made himself new cloathes, by.ta4ing to gether the skins of goats, which ire had 'previously made thoroughly dry. But he bail, moreover, accustomed himself to ramble through woods, bushes, iilad. and briars; as fearlessly as any ' other a During the whole period of his residence in this island, including a space of tour yOart and four months, he etijoy NI uninterrupted good health, and met with only one serious accident. In pursuing a goat on the summit of u hill, he made a sudden stretch at the animal, which fall ing down a lofty precipice, carried him along with her. There he lay senseless for the space of three days, which he ascertained was the case, by observing the growth of the moon since his last observations. t i t i p ti e p n py h_i s a h i a l nd h s is . is life e h eali o nv o dy ting, fishing, and so T de h l u ig s irt a f s ul e d d ic l l l t c:d p e ea o r f x m i l :t i e t i l l e o: n o w tt' ; and a p other 'Apliegialhrti'sits a l: n laje t itt u rYte s ig e nu t i n wiel e de n r: eu t e s tv , uet:r. o lbei c ea c u(sl Up gn i t e Sh d his time, and at stated tittles he regularly read out of his reli gious' books ; this he always performed aloud, in ordet not to lose the faculty of speech. in short, such was the happiness he enjoyed, that when th e ship which brought him oil the island made her appearance, though he experienced great f lTe ti f s e f t great cti o ati indifference re nmor e ce at t he i conversing,sp,t o with men, ac ef), companying them, which he was , however, per suaded to do. lle was • heard often to lament his return into society, in which he could n " find the enjoyments and the tranquillity of his solitude. - A.
