JANE SHORE. —The house in which the hus band of the celebrated JANE SHORE lived, as can be proved by olds City leases, was No. 43, Lom bard-street. It is supposed the present house of that number is the same dwelling-, though from the extensive repairs it has undergone at various periods, it has, comparatively, a modern appear ance. Shore was a silversmith, and his house continued in the occupation of one of that trade till near twenty years since, when it came into the hands of one Algal.. a boot-maker. It is now occupied by Mr. Taylor, a fishmonger. ANECDOTES, &c. ARISTIPPUS.—This facetious,' witty, and luau rious Philosopher, be i ng asked in .what an able man differed from a blockhead, said, " Let them be sent out of their own country,said he, and the difference will soon appear." A lesson to. all who live upon the labour of others. THE MUSES.—The reason why the Muses are virgins, said a French writer, is that they hav:. nu dowry, and have not even power to reward their. votaries, who are generally indebted to the caprice of Fortune. CAPTURE Of an IMPERTAL EAGLE.—By Ser jeant MASTERMAN of the 87th Regiment.--,-At the battle of Barossa, the first battalion of the 87th regiment was engaged with the Bth Imperial ; and after a severe contest, drove it back at the point of the bayonet. During the engagement, ii young Ensign of the 87th perceiving the Imperial Eagle, cried . aloud to the Serjeant, "'Do you see that, Masterman?" He then rushed forward to seize it, but was shot in the attempt ; the Ser jeant instantly revenged his death, ran his anta gonist through the bodyi.cut down the standard bearer, and took the eagle ; ivhich was subse quently brought to England, and deposited with others in the chapel of Whitehall. The gallant Masterman _ was afterwards rewarded for his brave achievement, by a corrimission. Ott once hearing the action singularly commended by a gentleman, who was not aware that. he was ad. dressing one so nearly interested in the eulogium, he replied with great. modesty, " The Serjeant .merely did his duty.; and only accomplished' what hundreds of his comrades would have done had they possessed. an equal opportunitY; it was the fortune of war ; the Serjeant fortunately suc ceeded in the attempt, which had cost the poor Ensign his life." Such modesty and liberality of praise to .others, indicates the truly magnani mous soul, and recommends the possessor to our estimation even more than his courage. • hum SOLDIER.—Daring the. late war in Pon. tugal,.and while the army was on its march from Almendralejo to Merida, an Irish soldier, having drank rather freely, quitted the ranks. lie had scarcely done so, before he fell into a sound Lsleep, from which he did not awake till very late in the evening. Alone, and in an uninhabited part of the country, the poor fellow, knew not . Tit - m Iv before. E LATE ...RS. .i.ELLEsLE V POLE Loxn.—We have whether to turn bimself.

One as paints fo r th e f ace . W e are told by Martial, of the children is a girl not five years old,—(Timer.) that Fibula was afraid of the rain on account of the chalk on her face, and Sabena of the sun, be cause of the ceruse with which she was painted. The famous Poppeea, who was first the mistress, and afterwards the wife of Nero, made use of an unctuous paint which hardened upon the face, and was left there till she chose to take it °fib) , warm Milk. Its effects were to soften the skin, and improve the complexion. As it originated !with all Empress, it soon became so fashionable at Rome, that it was used almost by every woman when at home, and was called the domestic face ; and, if we may credit Juvenal, often the only one known to the husband, the natural or more charming one which it covered being reserved for more favoured lovers. BETTER DRUNK THAN SOBEIL—A Frenchman at Mentz, expressing his surprise that there were fewer fires in Germany than in France., consider ing the Germans were so habituated to drinking, a person observed, there was no just grounds for his apprehension, as it only proved that the. Ger mans, when drunk, had- more sense than the French, when sober. ___ THE KING.

SEE 9 ST thou the sun and moon's transparent beam, The fair stars thickly sprinkled o'er the sky? They're rays which from the Eternal's fountain stream. Then turn thy contemplative gaze on high, Praise the pure light whence those their light obtain, Whose heavenly power is in the sun-rays seen. It wakes from earth's dark tomb the buried grain. And decks with flowers the Bills and valleys green, So that no painter could convey, I ween, Such magic colouring and variety ; Then, reasoning beings, if ye would not err, Make nature nature's God's interpreter; Though nought, however fair, by land or sea With the Creator's beauty can be rated, Yet think, while gazing on their brilliancy, How wond'rous He, who all those works created. WINDSOR, SEPT,22.—T hiimorning the remains of Lord LANGronn were removed from his house near Engle field Green, for interment in St. George's Chapel. The, body was conveyed in a hearse drawn by four horses, caparisoned with velvet covering and ,a plume of feathers, together with the family escutcheons and armorial bearings. The hearse was followed by two mourning coaches, with four horses each ; his Lordship's carriage, Lady Bulkeley's, and Mr. Fremantle's followed.. At a little after ten o'clock the pro cession arrived at St. George's Chapel, where the funeral ser vice was performed -by the Reverend Mr. Pope, one of the Minor Canons. After which the body was deposited in a vault in the chapel, adjoining that of the late Bishop of Salis bury. SINGULAR PIIENOVIENON.-OR liiP mornine of Saturday last, this town and neighbourhood were visited by a smart southerly gale, which did not, however, cause any considerable damage. During its continuance, a curious phenomenon was exhibited. The Shannon, which forms in winter, at our bridge, a dangerous cataract, and rushes under it with a loud roar, had, on this occasion, the course of its waters so far suspended by the fury of the wind, that its channel beneath the bridge was so perfectly thy as to be crowded with persons attracted thither by the novelty of the scene. This spectacle, which was without precedent in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, was principally owing to the very shallow state of the river, in that part, from the unusual drought of the summer, and the circum stance of the wind having operated directly against the stream. There were some pieces of coin of an ancient date, picked up, and also some, which being adapted to modern times, were more highly prized by the vulgar finder.--(Athlone Herald.) ° IP A, '''' .• . b 3: • - , kt!LiA ) .1 , ' -.' ~, :,1, - ~, , 74‘.-7 -.. , ,, e' - ,61-Y4 (, - ,„,ec 1 . , ' , , , ,,•._14., ' . ~..7, . , 0 , te . o. , i.ep 1 * V er4 ' sr,' . i: - .k.. - -s, • *4 tf ~,...,‘, , : - ; . -- . 5---..,-. , ip , . 1 1 v ` 4,, 4-4k, ~01:0.•''' ~: elk ARRIVALS IN TOWN.

CAMBRIDGE, SEPT. 22.—We are happy to find that. the Commissioners are endeavouring to procure a new contract for lighting this town with gas during the ensuing winter. We have been too long accustomed to the advantages of gas, to be satisfied with recurring to the old mode of oil lamps, now adopted as a substitute ; anti we hope that in a few weeks gas lights will dispense a brilliancy at least equal to former seasons. A monument of very chaste design was last week placed in Culford Church, to the memory of the late Marquis Cornwallis.—(There is no University Intelligence in the Cambridge Chronicle.)

Such was the extraordinary attraction of the Races yesterday, that the road from Doncaster to the,'course was crowded with equipages, in a continued litre. for upwards of an hour and a half, ard the ektensivepaths on each side were completely lined With well-dressed females and others journeyinlvto the course. In the town, the streets might be compared to Holborn and the . neighbourin g streets , t h ropge d w i th passengers on their route to Bartholomew Fair At an early hour in the morning the betting men assembled in groups in different parts.of the prin cipal streets, where they kept till the doors of the new betting_ room were opened, when a rush took place, and it was Idled to excess in a few minutes; indeed, net a twentieth part of the subscribers could get in.

So neat was the interest excited by this stakes, that the odds have oeen looked after with avidity, not only on the Continent, but in the East and West Indies. The race yesterday was a beautiful spectacle. As the horses . successively came up to the post, and took a , canter pursuant to regulation, the greatest anxiety was manifested The overwhelming inte rest of the moment absorbed every • feeling, and all eyes were fixed with an intensity. of gaze on the, noble creatures on ,which so Many hundreds of thousands depended. When all were assembled for the start, the beauty of the-racers, and the motley but lively colours of the, riders, had a -very picturesque and brilliant appearance. We -have repeated ly heard of Gentlemen proprietors. making scarcely any ad dition to their jockies' demand' of five • pounds for riding a winning horse, and as often heard of very handsome com pliments., even amounting to hundreds, by the more liberal; but we never knew a greater instaflee of unbounded liberality than - occurred yesterday .in the proprietor of Homer and Daunt less, who enaliled : both-his jockies (Chifiley and Goodison) to stand on the winning of Homer tbr the St. Leger, the sum o f 1,0001. to n o thi ng eac h ; or, i n other words, if Homer Won, each was to receive a gratuity of 1,000 sovereigns. —The course this day appeared- in the same splendid style as yesterday, and, we think, was quite as numerously attended.

A search was resisted on the part of the convicts, and the debtors were called to assist the officers of justice. This was considered a great breach ofdecorurn, and a violeht at was commenced upon the debtors. A recent delivery .of coals giwe the assailants the command of a large supply of missiles, which they hurled At the debtors and turnkeys, who were moon discomfihed, with a few slight bruise's.
