WINDSOII, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 16.—Ycsterday even ing, shortly after nine o'clock, ecrniderable alarm and excitement was created throughout the towe, h i f the report that a large portion yf Windsor Castle, ineill'aing a great part of the corridor (in whleli ate some valuable paintings) . was on fire, end that fears were entertained that the private Apartments of lar Majesty were in danger. The town and barrack engines, as well as the powerful engine belonging. to the C,,stle, were imme diately on the spot. The alarm was first given by the sounding of the bugle of the. Castle-guard, when the troops turned out to rcnder the necessary assistance. • It turned cut that all the alarm was excited 1-y a tire in the chimncy.of the laundry, which was speedily ex tinguished. The " Royal Sweep" was immediately sent for by the Lord Chamberlain, hut he exculpated him self most satisfactorily, and cast the blame on tho.ie who refused him admission to sweep the chimney monthly, according to a 6tanding , order from the Chan:, berlain's office. EDINBURGH-SHAKSPEARE CLUB. Thc first mee:ing for tim winter, of the Shali.spearo Club of Scotland took p'are on Wednesday uvening last, in the Cafe Royal, Christopher Torref, Esq., in the chair, and R. W. Jameson, Esq., officiatiUg as CroUpier. The members appeared in the costume of the club, and several distinguished strangers were pre sent on the occasion. Tim toasts and scntimen's were chiefly of a nature connected with the interests of the drama, and literature generally, being the basis upon which the Association is founded. After the " Memory of Shakspeare" was given, introduced by the Chairman in a speech of great paths, the following ode was read by the Croupier, having been expressly written for this meeting, by Robert Giifillan, Poet Laureate to the Grand Lodge of Scotland No wreaths we bring—nor boncurs pay To raise our po,es fame; We merely lift thd curl, this day, And whisper Shakspeare's name I That name e'er nature's farthest bounds iiath to the winds been given, The ocean spaks it. and it sounds Among the stars of heaven.

ROBBERY AND INCENDIARISM NEAR YORK. —Last week we gave the particulars of a fire that oc curred at th;:. vicarage house, Acomb, ,near this city. It was then stated that by what means the fire had orig'twed had not transpired ; but circumstances of a suspicious nature shortly afterwards arose, which left little doubt upon the mind of the Rev. George Anstey that it had been the work of an incendiary. Upon exa mining the servants, their statements were of such a prevaricating nature, that the Reverend Gentleman 4(as induced to give the cook, Mary Robinson, into custody on Monday morning. Some baby, linen had been missing from the closet where the fire hapFened, and as the prisoner was with child, and she had sent off some parcels lately, it was suspected also that she had stolen the linen. This might account for her committing a greater crime to prevent the detection of a les3. On Monday, the prisoner was examined at Yolk Castle, before Barnard Hague, Esq., and the Rev. L. W. Hird, and fully committed fur trial on both charges at the next Yorkshire Assizes.—Yorkshirenzan. STRAFFORD IN IRELAND.—In the reign of Charles the First there was in Ireland one province which had hitherto escaped every attempt at colonisa tion, that of Connaught. The Viceroy, Wentworth, afterwards Earl of Strafford, resolved to dispOssess all the inhabitants of this vast country, - and confiscate it to the King, who might afterwards dispose of at his pleasure. To accomplish this enterprise, he took with him, judges and soldiers, the first to falsify the law, the second to violate it.• Both agents admirably an swered his expectatioss. The lawyers suddenly dis covered that all the grants made by .preceding kings to the actual proprietors or their ancestors, were nud and void, and that Connaught had no lawful propristors but the King. It was not sufficient to discover the de fect of titles, it was further necessary that the proprie tors should-recognise it, and withdraw ; if they did not go of their own accord, they should be constrained to aban don their estates by force, and this was the business of the soldiers. Preceded by an imposing army, Strafford traversed the country, spreading terror everywhere, and receiving everywhere the most servile submission. Still, when he reached the county of Galway, Strafford was stopped in his progress by the resistance of the in habitants: in this county, though bent under severe despotism, there were still certain legal forms inherent in the government and the manners of the conquerers A jury was impannelled in Galway to decide between the crown and the occupants of the land. Strafford spared no pains to obtain a verdict for the king. Still the jurors found for the defendants. This fact alone would be sufficient to prove that there are guarantees and protection in a jury which will triumph over the chicanery of fraud and the menaces of force. When Strafford heard the verdict he flew into a pas sion. On his own authority he fined Darcy the sheriff a thousand pounds for impannelling an improper jury —h e arrested the jurors themselves, and brought them before the Court of Star-chamber in Dublin, where each of them was sentenced to pay a fine of 4,0001., and to acknowledge himself guilty of perjury on his knees. All had the courage to refuse this humiliating proposition. Some time after, Strafford wrote to Wandesford, ano ther servant of Charles, and Strafford's successor in the Government of Ireland. " I hope that I shall not be refused the lifaof Sheriff Darcy ; my arrows are cruel that wound so mortally, but it is necessary that the King, should keep his rights." 'Darcy was not executed, but he died of severe treatment in prison. A new jury was summoned, which, under the salutary influence of terror, found that in all time the County of Galway, like the rest of Connaught, belonged to the Kieg ; and this sen tence placed all the proprietors at the mercy cf the King. The narrative would not be complete unless it was added, that the Irish proprietors had actually paid one hundred thousand pounds to the King for the concession of certain graces, of which the security of property was one. Charles took theanoney, but by Stafford's advice, refused to perform the conditions. Trial by jury, though one of the most vital institutions, does not save a country from the insolence of despotism, when despotism is es tablished ; still a jury defends the citizens better than any other tribunal. If it yields to corruption, it sur prises the people, who believ ed it independent ; if it re sists, and fails in its resistance, it does not save those whom it wished to protect ; but, associated with their misfortunes, it renders their cause More popular, and the oppression which weighs upon them more striking. In either case it sets .tyranny in bolder relief—M. dc Bcaumones " Inland." CO-OPERATION OF .MECIIANICS' INSTITU TIONS AND LYcEurits.—Several leading members of the Lyceums, in this town, being desirous of extending to them and to similar institutions in the vicinity, some of the advantages possessed by the Manchester Me chanics' Institution, end other institutions of a like su perior character, have lately issued circulars to the me chanics' and other literary and scientific institutions, in the neighbouring towns, calling a meeting to be held in Manchester, to consider the propriety of. forming an association for mutual aid and co-operation. A meet ing was accordingly held on Thursday last, in the lecture room at the Athenaeum, the use of which was kindly granted by the Directors for that purpose, when, b es id es t h ose who represented the Manchester Ly ceums, there were present delegateS from the Rochdale Literary and Philosophical Society, the Liverpool Lite rary and Scientific Institution, the Liverpool Northern Mechanics' Institution, the North Staffordshire Mu seum and Pottery Mechanics' Institution, the Ashton and Dukinfield, Bury, and Staiybridge Mechanics' In stitutions, and the Oldham Lyceum. Mr. Alderman Cobden, w h o was ca ll e d to the chair, briefly introduced the business. Mr. Coates, the Secretary to the Society for th e Diff us i on o f U se f u l K now ledge, then explained more more fully the objects of the proposed association, as stated above ; and said he had lately been visiting the Mechanics' Institutions in various parts of the kingdcm, and it must be acknowledged they had not been as suc cessful as was expected. He must except, however, those i at Manchester and Liverpool, which were admi rable nstitetions, but more i n the rature of colleges expressing the desirableness than of institutions for the working classes.--A resolu tion,for mutual aid anti co-Operation, , • d Mr E. of forgoing associations. , was came- . • _ Herford read a code of rules to be adopted, into consideration at a general ima c :tit e ie u t a . o "' b d e' field and it was resolved that they P h r e oP?se l and taken 14th November. The meeting then eejourned.—Mans chaster Guardian. on the ROUGE.—A lady consulted St. Francis, of S a l es , on the lawfulness of using rouge. " Wh y ,” he, " inrnc pious men object to it ; others see no harm in it. I wili hold 4 mik.idie cuursc, and uilow you to use iu on one cheek." u S4l N IV TR u 0CT0.1 . 7.ER 17, L 639. - e , THEATRES. CO PENT 0-4 IMPAT. ll Arne's beautiful cpera Arku-ci.ics, was last even in; retired at this Theatre, for the purpose of introduc ing a new Mandan: , to public notice in the person o f Miss Austin, a pupil of Mr. T. Viclsh. This young lady is of vcry !'repo3ses,?ing appearance, her figure is handsome - an , 'l her countenance• expressive, at lent as far as we could judge from the dirt nice at Which we voice it; a soprano cf considerable power and in the upper notes remarkably close. She was ra ther timid at first, but soon recovered her self-posses stoo, and went through her part to the satisfaction of a very crowded house. In the beautiful air, " Mon ster eway," she was rapturoUsly encnt ed, and r.lso in what has always been considered as the trial song of the "The Soldier 'Fired." la this song she had an - opportunity of bringing the clear and . powerful upper cotes Of 'tier' voice into - play, of' which she well availed herself. The fact of, hor being a pupil of Mr. 'F. Wels'a is alone a sufficient guarantee that every thing that can be done in the ;vay of intruction has neon done, and accordingly we find that she sing,: with exquisite taste and seicuce—lier shake is beautiful. At the conclusion of the Opera she was led for vard by Mad, me Yestris to receive the applause of a croNded house, and the - Opera was given out for repetition on F. if;.7 wi:!:out a dis - srntient. Madame Vest ri3 was the Artaxerxes, and as beautiful as ever. Her "In in fancy our hopes and fears" elicited a rapturous encore. Mr. W. Ilarrisen, who is a very good a tar as well as singer, made a mosffeeling Arbaees. Wv should like to hear this gentleman sing sarne - -of cur good old English ballads. " Water parted from the sea" was given by hint with great taste and path..s, and its repetition was loudly cAled for. Mr. Borrani made his first how on the English stage as Artabanes—he polsesses a poA erful bass voice, over which he has a perfect command —he is a must scientific singer, almost too much so to be properly appreciated by a mixed audience. Ile was particularly successful iu the bravura, " Tny - Father, away," which was rewarded with an award, and 'at the fall of the curtain he was compelled to come for;varti in. obedience to calls from all parts of the house. Thu, scenery was beautiful, and the dresses and gent.-al get ting up of the piece bear witness to the taste of the en terprising lessee. Covent•gardcn is in this respect the Olympic on a large scale.

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS BE ''iLTWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE, , • ; ( i Prorn the Courtier Francais of Tuesday.) f r- The negotiations for a commercial treaty between EnOrnd and Franee, which were to have been resumed in Paris, remain suspended. A reciprocal tEs!rust :paralyses the dispositions of the two ' Governments. The English Cabinet, n or can i t b e bl ame d, w i s h es t o .. have the certianty, previous to sending a special Pleni potenteary, that the mission will not again tears out without any result. On the other hand, the Frencl-, Cabinet thinks it has given proof enou g h of its inten. tions in adjourning the question cf the duties on linen threads, and shrinks from compromising its dignity so far as to make new overtures whilst its late ones have been rcpu!sed. Thus both sides lock on, neither willing to hazard a step, and Facrificiag, perhaps. the interest o: two great nations to ideas of each country's dignity. " In order to vet rid of these difficulties of etiquette, we would say to England, . You want to be assured, 'previous to ttegociatimr, that France is willing to cede you the reductions you desire ; Out this you can only arrive at bydiscus)ion. Mutual confidence in mutual sincerity must be the principle of all negociations of the kind. Don't ask of France what France does not ask of you. Put trust in that public opinion which Ira) provoked those-preliminaries. • "To France we would say,' Don't be s!epned by ol;- itaele3 of mere form. Perhaps you have not mi. lie enough to- r-move thoe opinions of your insinctri. , which the conduct of the late Gaveroment has created. Do not shrink from reiterating to the Ei.3lish Govern ment the for - inal wish to resume negociatioris. Time proposals that Me. Thomson rejected Mr. Labouchere may accept. Though national dignity requires de fercnce, essential affairs should not._bp obstructed by puerilife3.' " The - press 'of the two countries is also to blame.

" Although we live with England," SAT3 La Pressc, E' in terms of amity, and all th o u g hts of :ear be over, nevertheless - to confound the — nothmerei A interests of France with thOse of England would be an rust ( f madness. France is • a productive coati, try, which has its markets in 'the two Americas and'Oe the . Continent. Our fabrics, lees advanced than those of England, will one day compete vs ith the English ;. and then the struggle will be one of ad vantage for us. The natine of our manufactures and exportltions is such as renders all alliance with Eeg land impossible. The sOthe thing cannot be said of our. connection with Russia, or the central and south: rn States of Europe. Our transactions with Serdinin ere as considerable as those with England. With Spain, French commercial relations have increased,' notwith standing the civil war. With Germany, with Russia, with Austria, France might extend her relations," Sze. " This article," continues the Coure:cr Francais " is nonsense from beginning to end, and coetains as many blunders as words. First, how is it possible to keep up political relations with a country with which you wage commercial tsar ? Prohibitions and high tariffs cause reprisals. If we shut our ports to the cottons and me = iils'of England, the English Government will esekrde - out wines, brandies, silks, and Parisian articles. There jiesOrtaing.on both sides, and complaints and menaces 1 follow. It we arc to have co commercial alliance with - Eiii,liin'd, let us expect no political alliance.

We we a v e , vim, e tii rok,l, but only so far as this takeS place in otiliddimtries. And if we should shut ourselves out froln Englard, the same reason s wou ld, ma k e us tre a t 'Atli - other countries—with SN'itzerland, Belgium, with - all who manufacture better than ourselves. The doc trines of La Pressawouldisolate Franco from the world, and form a blockade round her. Instead ofthis if we exatrime realities, it will be seen that England vr , ints precisely what . France can spare, and France what Eng land can export. England would gladly take our wines, spirits, silks, fancy stuffs,. articles of fashion and furni ture. Sbe would send, us thread, coal, iron", common stuffs, machines. On one side is a trade of articles of luxury ; on the other side, articles of common consumn tion. We may have some manufactures the same as England, but if England can furnish them cheaper, why should we pay dearer for thern to the home manufac turer? We have waited long enough for time eerfeetion and progress of the home manufacturer ; Ile will only improve when he is forced by actual competition. Oer relations with England, notwithstanding the mutual obstacle of high duties, have increased. In 1837 the exports and imports united of our commerce with Eng land amounted to 111 millions of francs. " Taking into account the 18 millions that came through Belefum by contraband, time commerce be tween France and England cannot be estimated at less than 150 millions, French commerce with Ileleium, deducting what comes from England, does cot surpass 95 millions ; its commerce with Sardinia is not more than 98 ; that with Spain not more than 72 ; that with Germany, 53 ; with Switzerland, 52. These relations may no doubt increase, but why should they increase to the exclusion or detriment of England ? Can we re (Nee our tariffs for one country, and not for another ? Differential duties 'are war—war for cotton and smear. The English people sell and buy more than any other p eo ple on earth. England has interests that we are trot bound to faVour, but which we need not oppose either. If we trent with other nations before are treat with England, we shall have her for an adversary in our transaction. On the contrary, if we open our markets to England, it can no longer regard with jealousy the extension of French alliances on the Coritinnt. We have . shared with England the political guardianship of Europe - . It would be folly to insist at this time . of day on a monopoly of industry and trade, even in favour of our own producers." SPE-UT of the PUBLIC jOURNAL-.3 FROM THE DAILY PAPEnEI. OF YESTERDA7. (From th Globe.) We yesterday told " those churchmen who 'consent to play the-genie of the Opposition, that they haz-nd ;renter stakes thin their secular patrons," who could diiclaim their pretension:: rot seen as their support would embarrass them," while a the Church cannot. ,hake off the odieni of having advanced pretensions ut.suited to the age, though the party which prolted by pu6ll:ng these pretensions may let them ar . ap without ceremony. The Church will remain under the stigma of having impeded the progress of national edu cation to the last of its power, while the party who are at pres.ent„employing the Church as a cat's-paw, .slide out. of the partnership when it has cras:d to-ha profitable." All this we said, and repeat es a warning against party churchmanship. But ave.ehd not say it, though the Times pretends so, as expressing cur own opinion that the Church had intended to impede the progress of national education. We do not impute that intention. But "the stigma of having impeded ,he progress of national education" will, nevertheless, eat on the Church, so far as its recognised leadurs ,!low themselves to he made the instruments of polici etans who use their pretensions as a mere party watch .vo,rd, which they may l e t d rop w h enever i t su i ts th em . , c admitted that the clergy " have done music of late :ears ; they may do much more, if they think chiefly or doing, and not of quarrelling with tin:: Goverment or senters of any description !Or not doing exactly what hi , =l; Churchmen would have them."

A BALL-Room SCENE IN IRELAND,--A curious scene , took place at th e Y ou .h a l S ess i ons on Friday last (the' 11th-inst.) The short facts arc ns follow :—Captain IL H. Rogers was indicted fee. sending three hostile messages to Mr. C. D. Savaz,-, Barrister-tat-Law. The - fans et origo of the dispute was the • law of precedency between two lovely women,' Lady Frances Parker, sister -to a Noble Earl, e nd th e Hon. Mrs. Smith, at a public ball in the town of \ r ough al. The blood ran so high between the ladies that there were two si4per tables, and "two sets of country dances; at the- head of one was the Lady, and the Hon. Madam at the head of the other ; hut in the course of the evening Lady Franc;.s ker, with her partner,! came to the head of the Hon. Mrs. Smith's set and danced down ; but the general companY resented the intrusion by not turtling her. The plaintiff in the ease was ((miring with Miss French, and seeing the conduct of Ltd) , Frances; said - that he would not dance. with her, and bid a friend near him to act in the same way. Rogers overheard - the conversation, and at once called Savage a " scoundrel cud blaekgnerd," upon which Savage inflicted summary punishment oa Rogers, who was put nut of the room. Captain Parker, hus band to Lady Frances, first sought an explanation, and Savage declared he had no intention to insult Indy. Captain Rogers took it no oa his own acconza, and sent three messages, but Mr. S tvcge would n o t mPet him.

The sagacity displayed by our elephantine friend is t, my astonishing ; its sitting down to a table for the purpose of making a repast, and its quick. intelligent, and very effective pulling of a bell-string with its 'proboscis, in order to summon the attendants 3vbo supply it with plates of apples, was remarkably edifying. Time fruit is swept iota its eapacieusgOrge, and di s app ears with .sur prising celer i ty. Perhaps as pleasing a portion of its performance as any, although not singularly brilliant, 'was its actual lying down on the stage, distending its huge limbs, and trying, as we fancied, to emulate th , rt playin7, rolling action in which the donkey tribe is so proficient. The most graceful of all its .exploits was the sustaining on its long tusks its keeper, and wheeling him round with a quick circular motion. But the crowning evidence of its sagacity was seen when walk ing across the prostrate person of the same man, whose slightest motion of the hand was obeyed, and all coe, tact avoided, but the apparent danger of this exploit is some drawback en our gratification. Since elephant actors arc now the fashion we are hound, in justice to time Adelphian imnortation, to deci.lre that nano could possibly play his part better, or be b: - .Ater received. THEATRICALS IN THE UNITED STATES. (From the New Yor: , Morning Herald.) The departure of the steam ship for England te.rner. ow renders it necessary to give a brief and accurate summary of the state of theatricals in this country, for the information of our nurrerous teaders on the other side of the water. We shall be very rich in opera this winter, if all the available talent is broe;ht out. have here the following operatic talent :—Miss Shir ! . ruff,. Miss Inverarity, Mrs. Seguin,. Mrs. Bailey, Miss Poole, Mrs. Horn, Mrs. H Wallack, Mrs. t 'Morley,- Mrs. Watson ; Mr. Wilson, Mr. Seguin, Mr. Guilielei, Da Begnis, Mr. Martin, Ms. Manners, Mr. Horn, Mr. Morley. In ballet we shall be • badly cfr ; the Taglionis, after enchanting all who sae: , them,leave to day in the British Queen ;- -Celeste, it is true, does not leave to-day as she in:cmiczl, but she will not play again.. has made 150;000 dollars by her splendid talent's andiMmense exertions, and only awaits the convalescence of her hus band to go to the south of France to recreate, and thence, at the proper season, to the baths at B.lden Baden. Celeste's father was a German officer in Benne uarte's army, and her 'desire to spend some time in G..‘r many is natural ar.d commendable. Lt'Colliti! and Atr,r,usta have both left us ; Mine. Stephan is married and can't dance, and we have now no one in the ballet but Kline.` Proche Guibelci, and her we do not tf.iuk much of as a dancer. In comedy we have great strength : ,Lanes and Henry Wallack, Barnes, Hill, Lambert, Mit chell, Brown, and Williams at the National ; and Pia ci.!e, Ranger, Chippendale, Riehir.g'S•S'aw, and Cres wick, at the Park. In tragedy the Park has nothing; no one at all endurable. At the National there are Forrest, C. Kean, Vandenboff, and Jsmes and Henry ; a most powerful cast. When we speak of " the National," be it remembered, we shall still call Wallack's company by that name, though they . play , at Niblo's for the next three months. Mr. Wallack's friends in England will be pleased to learn that after a lapse of only seven blank nights (cc casioned by the burning of his theatre), he opens with the-whole strength of his company - at Niblo's to-night, with Vandenhoff as Hamlet ; and Yankee Hill in one of his favourite characters. This latter movement, by-the-bye redounding immeasurably - to the credit- of Hill, who ought to have played alone under ordinary circumstances, and who could have filled a house. There is no doubt that Wallack will make as much money or, more at Niblo's in the next three months, than he weuid have done at the National : and in six months he may have the most splendid theatre in the country. He has immense talent at his back, and can ring the ehan e ;es with it to advantage. The opera at the Park is strong, bat does not draw so well as it ought ; the houses have not averaged more than 500 dollars a night, when the force there should bring 1,000 dollars at least. Mrs. Martyn's Cindeylla is admirable. Mr. Manvers is not much adin.red. Miss Poole wilt become a great favourite. Miss Shireff and Wilson have been doing a good business in Philadelphia, where Charles Kean opened last Forest is playing at the Walnut-street theatre. 13noth' is on his farm. Hamblin is lording it over the Bowery ; making money ; playing Hamlet occasion ally by way cf amtveinent, and taking life easy,' Barry,. late manager of the Tremont, is Hainblin's stage manager.' Scott .is at the new Chatham.. So much tor our tragedy people. Miss Vandenhoff has not. vet appeared. There is a great desire to see her. Nei ther Miss Philips, nor Fanny Kemble return to the stage as rumoured. Bills is doing well at St. Louis ; Abbott is gone . to Charleston, and not done much. Latham is, no one knows where. Freer and Mrs. Gibbs are at Halifax. Mr. Be finis is going with Mon tressor to the West Indies—Miss D.,venport was last at Montreal, drawing good houses. Tila opera people have made a great deal of money by concerts in Canada. Such is the disposition of all our theatrical stock in trade. Wallack's opera company will draw more than Price's ; and his tragedy talent has been very successful. Charles Kean drew full houses the two or three nights that he acted, although (owing to sicktiess) he almost made a failure the first night in Ihtnlet. We still hope better things of him by-and-bye. , CASE-BOOKS IN HOSPITALS —At an inquest bell yesterday at the North London Hospital on the body of a carter, whose death was the consequence of a fall from the shaft of a cart on which he was riding in a state of intoxication, Mr. Wakley, examining a book kept by the housc.surpon, and in which the treatment of the case and observations incidental to it • were mi nutely detailed,said the way the entries were made wa:, h;ghly creditable to the. hospital, and they unuld'-lint only be of use in directing the judgment of the Jury. to the real cause of &alit, but ~ ;.‘uld likewise be fiund structive as a record for the guidanc!!.and information of persons we:lying in sorgery who had not the oppr r tunity of being prezeut at the treatment of a similar case.

Mr. Thomson of Shettleston, was apprebenth.d nt that vil lage and lodged in Glasgow gaol, upon a charge of hav ing murdered her own child, an infant about 19 months old, by having administered to it a quantity of oxalic acid. The following, as far as we can learn are the circum stances of the case. The child was One of twins wh:ch the girl had to a mason, who absconded, leaving upon her all the burden of their mainteaance. One of them died When about a fortnight o!d, and the other has for sometime past been in the keeping of a woman in the village, while WDanald was in the service of the Minister. Upon Sunday, the 6th instant, she sent for the woman, and the child to the manse, while her master and mistress were at church. When they arrived, after taking them up stairs to the nursery, she took the child from the woman and went .down stairs 'with. it. In a short time she returned with the child. in the .agonies o f death. Some of the poison was st ill oat it s lips, end we. understand that an analysis has taken place of what was found in the stomach, and a quantity of oxalic acid has :been extracted front its contents. It appear s she had bought the poison up on - the previous Thuri dAv-, and thus had it three - days in her .possession be• 'ore she applied it to its' fatal purpo se . Sh e d oes not appear .to be much more than 20 years of age, of a mild and rather prepossessing appearance, and no motive can be a=signed for the crime but -the burden she was under o f do - oling ala)ost her whole earnings to the sup, port of her child.—Glasgoto Chronicle.

I bold that the most erroneous notions obtain in the world, respecting what constitutes true poetry. It is admitted on all hands, that is the best poetry v.hieh finds its way most directly to the feelings, and which leaves the most !t t. ing impression on the mind. Whence Conies it then. I ask, that nursery poetry is so lightly esteemed, while such works as Homer's " Virgil's " ./Eneid," and Milton's " Paradise Lost," are so gonerally ad mired and praised ? Tried by the above unerring test, the latter works will not bear a moment's comparison with much of the poetry of the nursery ; for. though we may have read Homer, Virgil, Milton, and many of the other writers of versification, erroneously, call 4 poet so late perhaps as yesterday, we do not reco*cthip mayse be, a single passage in their writings ; 01:1A c wilrffirtfR e a-, distinct remembrance, not of but of the entire pieces which constitiit6 ic.stO nursery poetical rea. to„ a detaclip t l i cotwieL or tv z sro;' though half 4 1 a=44 Wry f l u y- r j have elapsed since we handled any : o4fAbcdfilliPuti4 n halfpenny volumes in ‘rhich such pip . bul E i e by the Author f pear e d . -Walks and Wanderin.cfs Us the irvir; l ra .i „ „ kills , v c Great Met, op° • STEOLLING PL AyEtts.o4ls(lnteobereiliii6n oa,. company of itineratin g tragedittoikoottaOlibtrertajp i t ragamuffins I have over been, 03411 s)B,,qagit l uc and all of them tallied admirahly with %Fa picAPP scription which Shakspeare has giVeAqii9ll l Wr4chet~_. ness of the strolling player. .
