Winter, thou daughter of the storm, I lore thee when the day is o'er, Spite of the tempest's outward roar; Queen of the tranquil joys that weave The charm around the sudden eve; The thick'ning footsteps Oro: the gloom, Telling of those we love come hone ; The candles lit, the cheerful board, The dear domestic groupe restored; The fire that shows the looks of glee, The infants standing at our knee; The busy news, the sportive tongue, The laugh that makes us still feel young; The health to those we love, that now Arc far as ocean's winds can blow; The health to those who with us grew, And still stay with us tried and true; The wife that makes life glide away, One long and lovely marriage lay. Then music comes—till round us creep The infant liseners half asleep; And busy tongues are loud no wore, And, Winter, thy sweet eve is o'er. REGISTER. OF FASHION.

LODER, as usual, • led with his habitual skill and taste. LINDLEY was at the Violincello, and WINDSOR at the Piano forte. Mrs. SALMON, VAUGHAN, ROLLE, and Wm. KN YVETT, were the principal Vocals. — We regret that we did not hear Mrs. ASHE on this occasion, but we felt much consolation in the performance of Miss H. ASHE, who by her truth, simplicity, science, and taste, has obviously studied her maternal example. We wish we had room to particularize the musical excellence of the whole. J. B. CRAMMER is announced for the next Concert, and he will be a powerful ad dition to this harmonic feast. MARA is still here in admirable health and spirits, and warmly ca ressed by all her old friends. Her musical school is held in high esteem by all sound critics. We are all alive with visitors, and Bath, exempt from all Radical mischief, is perhaps the most com fortable and happy place in the'British dothi lions. ENGLISH OPERA llousE.—The eccentric per. formances at this Theatre are rapidly risi4;g ii publiC estimation; the house was last niglikTitt..: tended by an elegant, and, considering the 'slate_ of the weather, a numerous audience. An extra ordinary sensation was excited among the spec tators during the first piece of " The Immove able Stage-Coach in a Fog," by a whisper running round the house that the celebrated Mr. MA THEWS was recognized as one of the outside pas sengers ; this' attracted universal attention, and certainly if it were not that extraordinary mo dern Proteus in propria persona, a more close and admirable imitation of person and manner we never . witnessed. It is said that a variety of novelties on the same plan as the present whim sical performances are in preparation. A few days since, Mr. Jolts A LLDAIt i fender maker and wire -worker, of this town, presented to his MAJESTY a beautiful fender of his own manufacture. It is of eliptical shape, with ele gant mouldings, supported with a modern cut emblem of Ireland, surmounted by three neat cables, upon lion's paw, with a representation of • English heart of oak. Yesterday he received the following handsome acknowledgment of the re ceipt of his present at Carlton House:- 4 , Sir Benjamin Bloomfield presents his compliments to Mr. Allday, and has to acknowledge the receipt of his elegant brass fender, which has attracted much admiration as a spe cimen of Mr. Allday's manufacture, exhibiting. the superior workmanship of British Artists."—Carlton House, .lan. 2, 183i, —(Birmingham dad Lichfield Chronicle, Jan. 4.) IR EL AN D. COUNTY DUBLIN LOYAL EETING. Hibernian Journal Office, 6 n'Ooeu, Saturday, Dee, O. The Meeting, by public requisition, of the Noblemen, Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of Dublin, was this day held at the Sessions House, Kilmainham, for the purpose of voting a Loyal Address to his MAJESTY. The faction (as appears by the report of the meeting at Darcy's yesterday) became alarmed at the widely extended manifestation of loyalty, which is in progress towards our King and Constitution. The Chair was taken at one o'clock by Sir RICHARD STEELE, the High Sheriff of the County, and the business of the Meeting was immediately proceeded upon. The Address was moved by Lord llowth, and seconded by Lord Frankfort de Montmorency. When the Address was about to be put, Mr. O'Connell attempted to move au amendment, which was subsequently taken up by Mr. John Burne, one'of his Majesty's Coun sel! This gentleman had proceeded so far as the following expressions—" That the people who traded upon loyalty were the enemies of the country"—and he defined his loyalty and the loyalty of his colleagues, by asserting—" That it was proved by opposing the present profligate, corrupt, and ruinous system of Government by his Majesty's Ministers." The Sheriff very pro perly here called the Learned tentleman to or der, and reminded him of the necessity of con fining his observations to the object of the Meet ing. A general outcry was here raised by the faction, who were invited by hand-bills and pla cards, to, attend for the purpose of interrupting the proceedings. The Address was then put and carried by acclamation ; but the tumult still continuing, the High Sheriff felt it his duty to declare the Meeting dissolved—the purpose for which it was conveßed having been accomplished. The party, true to their principle of subverting all order, now called Lord Cloncurry to the Chair, and the Sheriff having again declared that the Meeting was legally dissolved, entreated the Gentry and his Lordship to disperse, as it was his intention to clear the Court House. To this he was openly and audaciously dared by men not coming within the meaning of the persons invited to the Meeting, and evidently wrought up to the commission of every act of riot ; but to the firm ness of Sir R. Steele the County of Dublin is in debted for combating this atrocious attempt to disgrace it. Finding the spirits he bad to deal with, he applied to the neighbouring prison for a force sufficient to clear his Court of an illegal as semblage. This proceeding he was obliged to adopt, finding that no obedience would be paid to his directions for dispersing what was then an illegal assembly, and that, on the contrary,Ave was bearded to disperse them if he dared—as also that the civil power was totally inadequate; therefore, to, protect his Court House, a military guard from the neighbouring gaol was procured, a few of whom with unfixed bayonets soon clear ed the place of meetingy The party then tried to procure admission into an adjoining porter house, which was refused, and the Lord and his mob took up their position in front of the drop at Kilmainham, where we left them. Mr. Hamilton Rowan had but a few minutes before taken his departure from the dock. We congratulate the Sheriff on the firmness he displayed in clearing his Court House of a tumultuous rabble. We are happy to say that Lord Cloncurry looked well, and appeared in high spirits. His Lordship vrws dressed in a green silk handker chief : the decoration was appropriate, and the reminiscence must have been gratifying to the heroes of 1798. Amongst the other persons of distinction who were present, we were glad to see our invaluable Lord Mayor ; that truly inde pendent and upright character, Judge Day ; Messrs. Hans Hamilton, M.P., R. Shaw, M.P., Thomas Ellis, M.P., C. Cobb, R. Alexander, Esqrs., Colonels Vesey and Finlay, Sir C. Dom ville, &c. &c.; in a word, all the respectability of the county, and who to a man were supporters of the Address. A meeting of certain restless spirits was held yesterday at the Corn Exchange Tavern, Burgh quay, for the purpose of or g anizing an opposition to the Address to be voted to the King this day, by the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Freehold ers of the County. The number, of persons as sembled on the occasion did not exceed 20. Un til we have the ulterior result of their proceed ings before us in some precise shape, we shall abstain from remarking upon them. The follow ing Resolution was proposed and carried unani mously : " That we arc of opinion an Address should be proposed, declaratory of the strong, zealous, and constitutional loyalty of the County of Dublin, and expressive of the sufferings of his Majesty's faithful subjects of Ireland; and which Address shook) contain dutiful suggestions to counteract the coun sels of the present advisers of his Majesty." A Committee of nine Gentiem - en was then ap pointed, who were instructed and empowered to prepare an Address, expressive of the sentiments of the above Resolution. The,following were the Committee Counsellors O'Connell and Curran, Captain Fottrell. Mr. Dawson, Sir Charles Morgan, Mi.urphy, Mr. Kertland, Mr. A. Browne, Mr..loseph Baruwall. Amongst the persons expected to oppose the - - loyal Address, are, we are told— Lord Cluneurry, Colonel Talbot, M. P. General Coci.burn. Mr. Mane, the Barrister. of Merrion-square, Mr. Humphreys. Mr. O'Connel, Mr. Kerr land, &C. &e. The following his been very generally pla carded this morning : " Such of the Nubility, Clergy, Gentlemen, and Freehold ers of the County of Dublin as are friends of Ireland, its in dependence, and respectability, and enemies of every kind of deception, are earnestly requested to attend at Kiltuainbana early on Saturday, Dec. 30.--N.

A Dublin Paper contains a long letter, signed James Ewen, dated Coolbeg, Gorey, Decem ber, 1820, from which we extract the following particulars : The writer states, that in the latter end of Au gust last, he, in company with a friend, was shoot ing grouse on the mountains in the county of Down, when being in the vicinity of a savage and desolate spot named Slieu Doule, or the Devil's Mountain, they determined to view it. After a scramble of three hours, they found themselves in a small glen, encompassed on all sides by lofty rocks : They discovered smoke rising- from one corner of the glen, and, advancing, arrived at the mouth of a small cave, in which they perceived a human figure. The man turning suddenly round, uttered an exclamation of terror, and sunk down deprived of sense. After coming to him self, he evinced extreme agitation ; and said he would place confidence in us, if we wouldsrornise not to mention any circumstance relating to him till'after his death. lie said he had lived in a remote part of Ireland; that a certain circum stance, which must affect his life if he was disco vered, compelled him to abandon his house ; he conceived that by prolonging his existence he might expiate his crime by seclusion and peni tence ; he had wandered through the most se questered mountains in Ireland, for many months, and at last happened on " his pre sent abode; he had not shaved his beard from tale time he had left his home, and in the character of a beggar had passed undetect ed. In his new habitation he had water at hand, and a little portion of ground under culture; he took the advantage of moon-light i•n going and returning at night from the inhabited part of the country, where he procared such things as were absolutely necessary for his existence ; his provision of meal he had in a number of small bags. From his manner and language, he must have ranked as a gentleman, and was unques tionably an Irishman ;' he had collected a quan tity of small silver preparatory to his pilgrimage, which he had hid among the rocks. After re newing our promise of secresy, we took leave. The writer continues to state, that being again in that part of the country, he wished to learn what situation the unfortunate man might be in at this season. He left his horse at a cottage in the mountain, and proceeded on 'foot to the spot.—'• But, good heavens! what a hideous spectacle! his remains lay on the floor, his shoes on, the tattered fragments of his garments lying about, which, with the flesh, had been torn almost entirely from the bones, evidently by birds of prey. I precipitately retreated, glad to escape from a scene so awful, and rendered indescribably terrifi - from the ghastly silence and horror of the sure rounding scenery." The writer proceeds to say,, that he has been indisposed ever since (about eight days), but that he purposes bringing the co roner and assistance to inter the remains, and make diligent search to find out some clue by which this mysterious affair may be developed.— The unfortunate man was about five' feet seven inches, well proportioned, but extremely ema ciated and pale, and appeared to be about 50; his hair had been light brown, and his eyes were light grey ; the time when he left his residence was not ascertained. ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY:—It having been sug gested, that the Royel Dublin Society had taken. no notice of his Majesty's gratuitous promise of pa tronage and protection, a motion was made, and carried unanimously, to present a Loyal Address at the extraordinary Meeting yester day. A Committee of five having retired, and shortly returned with an Address of attachment and thanks for his gracious condescension 5 it was adopted unanimously.—(Dublin Journal, Dec. 29.) BILL-TAXING EXTRAORDINARY.—A solicitor in the neighbourhood of Leeds, having offended one of the select vestry of the township, they de termined to tax his bill for business done at the last Leeds sessions. It was accordingly sent to town. for that purpose, but was found so reasonable, that the Master, instead of meeting the expecta tions of the inhabitants, made additions to the bill, which exceeded the deductions by 10s. and left the township to pay the expences, amounting to nearly 101. more. So indispensihle is a newspaper become in all situations, and to all ranks of the people of Eng land, either afloat or ashore, above ground or in mines below ground, that even the crews of the Po lar vessels could not dispense with this necessary of life, when immured in utter gloom for 83 days, and with the glass at 50 under zero. A News paper was actually composed, printed, and distri buted for the information of the people. Capt. SA-. BINE was the Editor, while Captain PARRY wrote and prepared Dramas, which were regu-, larly performed for their amusement. A remarkable circumstance lately occurred at Paris :—The time for which 400 of the Royal Regiment of Swiss Guards had enlisted having expired, the General commanding them used all his influence to induce them to re-enlist, but not a single one would consent. _ _ Bihop 8.0 R,NET, whose absence of mind is well. known, being one day in company with the Duchess of MAar,Boaou - on after her husband's disgrace, was comparing the General to BEM SARILTS. " But,"-said the Duchess eagerly, " how came it that such a. man was so miserably and. universally deserted ?" " Oh, Madam," exclaimed• the absent Prelate," he had such .a brimstone of a wife." Tie High Sheriff of the County of Kent, Sir Tlco3iis DYKE, has refused to call a Meeting of the County for the purpose of addressing the QUEEN. An old veteran soldier, named JOHN BARRY, is now liVing at ltathcor►nack, in the county of Cork, who is in the 108th year of his age. He distinguished himself in several severe actions in the reign of GEOROE I 1., and in the early part of that of his late MAJESTY, in one of which he received a desperate wound which rendered him in capable of further service, and he was invalided with a' pension of 9.0 guineas per annum, and up to this period has received one thousand three hundred and eighty guineas at the above yearly rate, and is likely to increase it. By the last accounts from the island of Ceylon, a General Court Martial was sitting at Kandy, for the trial of the Chief who was supposed to be con cerned in the attempt tocreate insurrection in the colony, and on which occasion the mails going across the island, from Colombo to Trincomalee were intercepted, and the bearers-thereof killed.
