P 0 E T it Y. AN EPIGRAM, ON PUNCH. Hence! restless care, and low design ; Hence ! foreign compliments and wine : . Let gen'rous BRITONS, brave and free, Still boast their Purrcu and honesty. Life is a bumper fill'd by fate, And we the guests who share the treat: Where strong,•insipid, sharp and sweet, Each other duly temp'ring, meet. A while with joy the scene is erown'd ; A while the catch and toast go round: And, when the full carouse is o'er, Death puffs the lights, and shuts the door. Say then, physicians of each kind, Who cure the body or the mind ; What harm in drinking can there be, Since PUNCH and life so well agree ? IMPROMPTU. The following Impromptu was made by Toe RAISES, during his recent visit to Oatlands, on hearing HAUL Hu ir Es boast that he had built himself a S'runT near the Grotto, which no one knew any thing about, and that he was consequently free from,intrusion : " My garden neat Has got a seat, That's hid from ev'ry eye, Sir ; Where day and night, I read and write, And nobody's the wiser !" ( The Age.) IMPROMPTU. The following Lines on the recent Marriage of an eminent King's Counsel, with te beautiful and accomplished young Lady, were on Tuesday posted up in the Lord Chancellor's Court : To HyrneWs Court, Did ll**d resort, Vice quit, and poor. L**d E***n ; Who then, I pray, Willdare to say In this he has not well done? Some who sit here, Will blame, I fear, The act, and much deride ; But if in this H**d does anzise, An issue will decide. ANECDOTES, &c. Tur. SPEAKER—of the House of Commons ought to be very cautious, and pay an exact attention to the rule laid do wn on the 27th of April, 1604—that in matters If doubt he is " to explain;" but not to " sway." In matters, of doubt, or if he is referred to, to inform the House in a point of order or practice, it is his duty to state every thing lie knows upon the subject, from the Journals, or the History of Parliament; but he ought not to argue, or draw conclusions from this informations Ile has no voice, but to utter the sense of the House when declared. FRENCH PRESUMPTION.—A Frenchman,sztained DE sAtißnE, was resident, some years ago, in Manchester. At a musical meeting, in which PINTO was engaged to play the !first violin, it had been expected that DEsAunnE, who was a very good performer, would have played the second. As this was not the case, a gentleman, meeting him after the concert; expressed his surprise, and asked why he had not taken the second fiddle. DESAUBRE, with great indignation, exclaimed, "Me play the second tiddle.to Monsieur PINTO ! Me vould " not play de second fiddle to ( - I—E A--Y !" Is there not something of the national character in this speech ? Such a sentiment would scarcely 'have found its way, under any pro , vocation, to the mind of an Englishman. Much less would he have suffered it to have escaped his lips! Mr. GArtiticE, in the early part of his life, performed Ranger with such uncommon spirit, and dressed and looked the part So well, that a young ladyof high family and fortune fell violently in Jove with him. Her friends, finding it in vain to reason with 'iser, took her to see him perform Scrub; the very contemptible,,appearance he made in that part wrought a perfect cure. MILTON.—This infte:itable Poet having been taken into cus tody by order of the House of Commons, and to be prosecuted by the ATTORNEY-GENECAL for tidying written " Pro Populo Anglican° defensio," against SALSIASIIJS ; and another book, in ar,swer to the " Icon Basiiike ;" he was ordered to be discharged on the 15th of December, 1660, on paying his fees. But it appeera that the fees demanded were very excessive, and were referred to a Committee. The complaint of MILTON in this respect was made to the House by the celebrated ANDREW ; and; inehe course of the debate upon;:, it was oh 'served by , e•it LIENEAGE FINCH, afterwards the isord Chan cellor N o'eriSttrrieille,'That Mii.tbss' was Latin SS:cretary to CROMWELL, and deserved hanging ! THE SALMON RING.—As Mr. ANDERSON, an Alderman of Newcastle, was leaning over the . Tyne Bridge hi A.D. 1559, and fingering his ring, he dropt it into the . River. SOsnetime after his servant bought a Salmon in the Market, in wli:eh the same ring was fbund, and restored' to its owner. The ring is in the possession of the family of the Rev. E. ATKINSOX, of Yorkshire. It has a fish engraven under the. signet. • Da. FARMER.—There were three 'things which Dr. FAR - HER, the celebrated commentator on SHAKSPEARE, loved above all others=viz. good old port ! old clothes and old books! and Three things which nobody could persuade him to perform— viz. to rise in the morning ! to go to bed at night ! and to settle an account ! • A DELICATE COMPLIMENT.—Dr. PARR, who, it is well known, was not very partial to the " thae linensis," , although lauded so warmly by a French writer as " nostris gratissima musts," being invited to take tea by a lady, with true classic wit and refined gallantry uttered the following refined compli ment : Nec tea cum possum vivere, nec sine to !" This reminds us of the quiz on the-Christ Church men at Ox ford, who, in consequence of their fondness for tea, have been recommended to adopt as their motto :—Te veniente die, to decedents, notam us ! !" THE PERSIAN POET.--OLAB PHELAIR, the celebrated Persian poet, died lately at Ispahan, aged B. He was the Voltaire of Persia, and has left behind him a very consider able number of manuscriptS on mathematics, astronomy, poli tics,. and literature. The Sophi had just granted NM a consi , derable pension from the Treasury ; he was very expensive in his living, his principal food being the flesh of larks, which were brought from Europe, and •he went very rarely on foot. He has left no children. '• . BOSWELLIANA IMITATION OF A COW. JAMES BOSWELL, the biographer of Dr. JoliNsog, when a youth, went to the pit of Covent-Garden• Theatre, in . company with Dr. BLAIR, and in a frolic imitated the lowing of a cow ; and the universal cry in the galleries was, " Encore the cow !—En core the cow !" This Was compliedwith, and, in the pride of success, Mr. BOSWELL attempted to imitate some other ani mals, but with less effect. Dr. BLAIR, anxious for the fame of his friend, addressed him thus :—" My dear Sir, 1 would confine myself to the cow." • -- • PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 12.—We understand that the greatest exertions are making to form a Concert at the Green-row Rooms, on a very grand scale. Mr. Sinclair, from the Theatre Royal, Covent-garden, engaged; and as he is on the eve of embarking for Italy, it ip„ay. be a distant period erehe can again be heard in England. That sweet singer, Miss Love, is also engaged, and others, with the daughter of the widow, for whose benefit the concert is arranged, and who are patronised by Sir George and Lady. Martin. The Ports mouth Regatta, exhibition of Fireworks, and Regatta ball, takes place on Thursday. and Friday next. Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, Baronet, and Saville Halifax, Esq., of Arling ton-street, are among the most recent subscribers to this exhi bition of naval pleasurable emulation. Admiral Manby and family sailed on Wednesday in the Camilla steam vessel for 'Paris and Italy. • SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 13.—0 n Tuesday the Members of the Winchester Branch of the London Horticul tural Society, held their Meeting at the Dolphin Inn, which • was composed of many of the Nobility and Gentry in the neighbourhood. The award for the finest display of new and rare flowers was adjudged to Mr. Rogers, of the Southampton Nursery, amongst which more particularly admired, was a beautiful new hardy plant from China a double var iety of the Painted Lady, Althecea Frutx (Hibiscus Sy riacus).; also a new hardy Shrub, from North America, the snowberry, (Symphoria racemosa) in habit of growth similai to the Persian Lilac, producing white berries of the size of snow-drop flowers, in clusters, at the termination of the branches, which have a curious and singular appearance • . a new fragrant honey-suckle, from China; severa l n ew Dahliesi and roses, now coming into blossom. The prize for the finest specimen of fruits was awarded to the gardener of Lord Ash town. All of fete Masonic Lodges of Paris have open ed subscriptions in favour of the Greeks. At a late meeting 'of that called the Bonne Union, a considerable sum -Nits col lected, which was immediately placed at the disposition of the Society in favour of the Greeks. A subscription for this pur pose has also been opened at Gannat, in the department of the Allier, and another at Riom. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING.-14r Tit DAY (FRIDAY.) After Thursday's Races a great number of the higher class of visitors 'left York ; consequently the Knavesmire to-day did not present so brilliant a scene as before ; there were very few of the splendid equipages which on the former days excited so much admiration, the only carriage and six on the course bei n g the Archbishop Of York's. There were some others with four, but altogether the lumber of vehicles was very small. The most important laces having been determined, those -who-re tnained did so only for amusement, as there is no interest at tached to the running of the horses for to-day and to-morrow beyond the moment, as not above one or two are engaged in the St. Leger or any other important stakes, then attendance of spectators in general was also very limited. The grand stand was almost solely occupied by betting men, who seemed to be more occupied in laying on, and hedging off, for the Doncaster St. Leger, squaring books, than in speculating on the day's sport. • The betting since yesterday has been'brisk, and in favour of Homer more decisively than yesterday evening ; a day's consi deration of the manner in which the race was run and decided of the horses opposed to him, and of the generally received opinion that he might have won in a canter had he been pushed, has confirmed the very fairourable opinion which the best judges have formed of him, and there is very little doubt that he will, ere long, become first favourite, it being thought that Memnon muscgo hack. • The other horses remain nearly as be fore, Cleveland, as usual, veering about like a weathercock. In little better than, a month this great stakes will be decided, and , with irthe fate of many'who have risked every thing upon it ;1 there are yet many horses in the back ground, about whom little is known ; and it would not be either a new or a stu'Orising circumstance if one. of them should seal the ruin of hundreds, by beating all those fancy horses upon whom hundreds of thou sands are depending. This was the case in 1811, .when Mr. Gascoyne's Soothsayer, with the odds at 1,000 to 10 again him, beat 23 others. In 1812, Mr. Rob's Otterington (at LOOO to 10) beat 23 others. In 1816 Sir B. R. Graham's Duchess of Leven, at similar odds, b: at 13 others. In 1819, Antonio, at h 0 to I, beat 13 others; and in 1822 the knowing gentry were again floored by all their favourites (in number 22) being de feated by Theodore, against whom the odds ran extremely high. All this proves, that in " glorious uncertainty," •the turf may at least rival the law. _ The latest betting is as follows: St. Leger.-3L to 1 agst Memnon ; to' 1 agst Alderman ; Bto 1 agst Homer ; 9 to 1 agst Redgauntlet 18- to 1 agst Cleveland ; 18 to 1 agst Whisker ; 18 to 1 agst Addy ; 20 to 1 Trinculo ; 22 to 1 agst Dauntless; 30 to 1 agst Pastime ; high odds agst any other. Throughout the week the course has been so well kept, and the police so well on the alert, that scarcely any accidents have occurred, and very little annoyance sustained from the pickpockets. , The theatre, during the week, has been well attended; and many of the last new pieces from London have been respectably, performed iy a good company. Cooke's Circus has also had its share of patronage. The day's sport, which was tolerable, will be found accurate as under : A Sweepstakes of 20 sovereigns each, .p. p., with 50 sovereigns added by the Innkeepers and their friends; fOr 4 yr old colts, Bst. 21b .; and fillies, Bst. Two miles. Lord Fitzwilliam's b. c. Confederate - - - 1 Mr. Ridsdale'S ch. c. Rochester - 2 Lord Scarbrough's be. f.

' The betting \vas current at 5t02 on Confederate. '- Rochester led off, and kept in front for a quarter of a mile when he died away. Confederate then came up, got in front, headed all the way home, and won in a canter by six lengths. Rode in good style by 'W. Cliff ; Rochester, by Templeman ; and Georgiana, by G. Nelson.

I Ilb. 4 2 There was not any betting on this race worth notice. Ist Lambton's filly took the lead, followed closely by Parthenessa, who fetched hint at the turn at the top : some close running ensued between these two, and the Leopold filly ion a pretty race by only a neck. 2d Heat:----This race TeSted all the way between Mr. Lamb. ton's filly and the Orion mare, and was won cleverly by a length. Gray rode the winner ; Templeinan, Orion ; T. Lye, Confederate ;. and. Nelson, Young Catton. Some good • sport is expected to-morrow for the Members' 50/., and the tureen, both of which are in heats. • LAST PAY.—SAT UItDAY. _ _ _ The August meeting has this day terminated, and whether we consider it . as to the excellence of the sport, or the number and rank of its - Vgltors, as a meeting of;plehsureor business, it has seldom been surpassed. Few races possess greater attrac tions to sporting inei, for the horses are invariably of the_ best, and create an,interest beyond the moment from the importance of their subsequent engagements ; and there is not a race-course in the kingdom,wilich is, more honoured by the attendance of rank and Cashion, or More fascinating; in its .appearance on a race day. The attendance of some of the . most respectable of our nobility, in carriages and six, not only gave a flattering idea of the wealth and prosperity of the Country;•but carry us• back with pleasing recollections to times gone by ; and to those who, for the first time, have visited this great city, the scene must have been at once novel and gratifying.. The events of some oft.he races have been important to the spotting world, in the criteria which they have afforded for fu ture :speculations; and though in two or three instances the knowiag gentry have paid for their Information, it will be little regretted, as they will be enabled to make their future engage ments with treater certainty. The running this week has been made by the outriders for the St. Leger, of whom the best have been selected, and of whom many more will come out at Pontefract. The betting since Fri. day has resolved itself as follows, by . which it will be seen that Memnon is now at Par with the second favourite, Trinculo and Cleveland having got up a little :- 10 to 3 agSt illernnon, 8 to,l agst Alderman, 8 to I against Homer, 9 to I,agst Redgauntlet, 16 to'l agst Cleveland, 18 to 1 agst Addy, 18 to 1 agst 'Trinculo, "30 to 1 against Dauntless, 100 to 6 agst Duke of Leeds'elot, 100 , to 3 agst Mr. Houlds worth's lot, 40 to 1 agst Pastime. The course to-clay was not well attended, as, like . all Satur day meetings at. York, .the-visitors consisting of people from the surrounding country, who were • obliged to be at market ; nor was any extraordinary spOrt expected. . In our account of the visitors,. we have omitted to mention the name of his Grace the Duke of Rutland., who has honoured the races with his presence. A Handichp for Doncaster - of 25 sev, each for 4 yr olds and upwards has been subscribed to, and the following horses enter ed:—Mr. Lambton's Cedric, Bst. 61b.; Mr. Lambton's Buz yard, Bst. ; Mr. Clifton's Brutzandorf, 3st. ; Mr. Houldsworth's Miller of Mansfield,: list.; Earl Fitzwilliam's Whiskerandos; Bst. ; Mr. Metre's Bugle, 7st. 91b.; Mr. Lumley's Boti•sthenes, 7st. filb. ; Sir.

TITE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY grtrocts from the Morning Papers, Aug. 15* [Tits TIMES.] The recognition of Hayti as an independent State,. is said, on telegraphic authority, to have been consummated by the Government of Charles X. No doubt that Hayti was free and inde pendent, whether France had consented or de clined to acknowledge her. It is equally un doubted that, if six millions of Haytian money have gone for the purchase of , such a,concessioti from the Bourbons, the latter, so far as the treaty • is confined to the immediate relations between France and St. Domingo, have great reason to be • satisfied with•their bargain. We have long since wondered why it was that the Black Republic- should be desirous of paying for the shadow, a higher price than the substance of emancipation had cost her—more particularly as there exists 1 10 possible guarantee against future attempts of France, under other pretexts, to overthrow that sovereignty of which she has now so dearly sold the verbal recognition. But with regard to countries not embraced within the terms of the compact, France has given more than a mere name for a substance. With respect to other countries, names are things; and France has esta blished against herself a mighty principle of .rk•a son and freedom, which goes to the root . . of the Holy Alliance, and cuts away the whole . fnunda tion of that fearful confederacY against the human race. If Hayti be an independent State, what . , - : can retain Mexico, Peru, or Colombia in even theoretical bondage ? What can justify Franc , . in withholding a recognition of full sovereignty in favour of these republics, if she admits that in the case of St. Domingo the divine right principle has ceased to run ? The solution of, _ _ the jus by the factum, for which common sense has so long contended, is now the doctrine of France as clearly as of England ; nay, as clearly as when France at a former crisis forced the same principle into practice, when England would, if she had been able, have resisted its op ration in the case of her own revolted colonies. We may now, it is probable, contemplate a treble consequence from this public act of France—lst, that all delicacy towards Chaz-les X. will he at an end on the part of 'England, and that Mr. Canning will negociate a commercial treaty with those whom his Most Christian Majesty no longer claims for , subjects. 2d. That France will re cognize, after England, the enfranchised States of North and South America. 3d. 'That French politics will be released in Europe from the em barrassing, us well as odious, maintenance of the monarchical principle, which charges with' piety all popular resistance to oppression ; which allows the validity of no human right, but of the right divine and indefeasible, to use nations for the sport of kingly caprices—which therefore, by a consequence infallible and eternal, coerces the whole race of man info Helots ; and reduces all the faculties of his immortal soul to immovable and hopeless prostration. [BRITISH Pit Ess..l The demi-official organ of the French Govern ment, the Mode, publishes an absurd article ott the recognition of the Haytion republic. The Journalist avails himself of the form of the, ordi nance to represent the measure as a purely spon taneous act on the part of Charles X. " The King of France," says he, " using the full PX• ercise of his legitimate sovereignty over,pae . of his colonies, opens the ports of St. Dori-Ago to the commerce of all nations, and fixes the_ tariff of duties for all flags, reducing by half those which the commerce of France shall henceforth pay." Ilow ridiculous is this empty boatbast.! Undoubtedly if we knew' no more of the events connected with the separation of Hayti front France, than we could gather from the ordi nance of Charles X., we might suppose that the independence of Ilayti was altogether his gift'. To what purpose is so useless a misrepresentation endeavoured to be palmed upon the world ? It . is only calculated to offend and irritate the people. of Hayti, none of whom in fact ever acknowleg4 the sovereignty of the King of France. A new generation has arisen since the struggle for inde pendence began ; and the survivors of those who. commenced it, by the very act of revolt, denied the lawfulness of the yoke imposed on them. It would have been more confoimahle to historical truth, and the obvious dictates\A sober sense, to have represented the terms of the recognition of Ilayti as the conditions of a treaty with an ex isting Power, without any reference to the ab stract right of sovereignty on either side. Ilayti is independent, and that was the best reason in the world for treating it so. But the French Journalists must flourish about their Grand Mo. narque, be he whom he may. [MORNING. POST.] French Papers to the 13th inst. and the Eloile of Saturday reached us last night by Express. They have brought the King's Ordinance alluded to in the Telegraphic Dispatch given in our last, as having been accepted by the Haytian Govern ment, together with.an explanatory article, the object of which is to show that the principle of legitimacy has been confirmed instead of being weakened or abandon - ed by the mode in which the independence of St. Domingo has been re= cognized. The whole in fact seems io have been a question of form. The llaytians hav ing established their independence tic facto, only wished France to acknowledge what exist ed and,would continue to exist without her par ticipation. France on the contrary wished to concede as a boon, that which was demanded as a right. Hence she required a minnentary ac knowledgment of her original Sovereignty, pledg ing herself to use it o ly for the purpose of car rying into effect, by an act apparently her own, the conditions which had been secretly agreed upon by both Governments. On this point some hesitation arose : but the good sense of the ('re sident ultimately triumphed over the notions of false dignity which stood in the way of a settle ment, and he consented to gratify the childisb pride of France. Hence we find Charles I. ordaining as freely for St. Domingo as if WA aP.
