POETRY. ON THE GREEKS WHO FELL AT THERAIOPYLIE They fell devoted, but undying ; The very gale their names seemed sighing : Tho waters murmured of their name; The woods were peopled with their fame ; The silent pillar, lone and gray, Claimed kindred with their sacred clay ; Their spirits wrapt the dusky mountain, Their memory sparkled o'er the fountain ; The meanest rill, the mightiest river, Rolled mingled with their fame for ever. Despite of every yoke she bears, That land is glory's still and theirs ! , 'Tis still a watch-word to the earth : When man would do a deed of worth, He points to Greece and turns to tread, So sanctioned, on the tyrant's head ; He looks to her, and rushes on Wher.: life is lost or freedom won. BYRON. ST. PAUL'S. CATHEDRAL will, through the whole of the ensuing winter, be brilliantly illuminated with gas lights,when ever it shall be necessary during divine service. The candle sticks and chandeliers, by the help of which.it has been hitherto partially lighted up, have been suffered to remain in case of ac cidents, but no use is otherwise intended to be made of them. The pipes have been some time since laid down, and traversing the crypt, ascend into the choir and body of thechisrch, where they are concealed by passing through the centre of eight ele gant pillars of gilt brass, the summits of which are each fur nished with three large burners. Pour•more pillars of a simi lar description, but of greater magnitude, adorn the railing in front of the altar; and by the brilliancy of the light they will afford, supersede the necessity 'of continuing the pair of tall wax tapers which hitherto have stood upon theater . . About a month ago; three Cornish miners, having been informed that some appearance of copper ore had been discovered near St. David's Head; in Pembrokeshire, set out from Penzance, in order to trace the foundation of the re port ; when, after having explored the rocks upon the coast, they, in their judgment, hit upon a copper vein, of great sup posed value, on the property of Samuel Harries, Esq., of Tre vacon ; and so sanguine are they of the existence of it, that they have offered, and are anxious to take a part.in the concern as far as the amount of their daily wages will extend. They returned with a specimen of the ore with them, which has been thought highly of by some mineralogists.—( Cumbrian.) The lady who was charged on suspicion of shoplifting, was brought up to Hatton-garden Police Office yes terday, for final examination, when the prosecutor stated that he had made particular inquiries respecting her character, and find ing that her conduct had hitherto been irreproachable, and that she was subject to occasional aberrations of mind, he was de sirous not to pursue the inquiry further, and the prisoner was immediately discharged. The prisoner was led into and out of the office by two respectable gentlemen, in a state of ap parent insensibility. FEMALE HEROISM.—On Saturday se'nnight, about half-past ten o'clock in the evening, as Mrs. Holland, the wife of Mr. Holland, of the Saracen's Head Inn, Borrowash, near Derby, was sitting the fire, she heard a noise of some Guinea fowls near the back door, which had been dis turbed from their roost in the orchard, upon which she instantly proceeded to the orchard to ascertain the cause, when she saw a ladder reared against an apple tree, and found two fellows, one of whom made a precipitate retreat down the ladder, and ran into a ditch to screen himself against his fe male pursuer; upon which, Mrs. Holland rushed upon him, and seizing him by the collar, firmly kept her hold until the arrival of one of her female domestics, when they dragged their prisoner into the house, to the no small surprise of Mr. Holland. The fellow was afterwards taken before the Magistrates, when he received a suitable reprimand, and upon paying the costs incurred, and promising to amend his conduct in future. Mr. Holland humanely consented to his discharge. The other fellow ran away upon seeing Mrs. Holland enter the orchard, but in his fright and hurry to get away from his female pursuer, forgot to take his hat with him, which was immediately picked up, the inside of which betrayed its owner, who has since absconded. — This fellow turns out to be a boatman, and has taken a voyage for the present, but ere long he must at least share the same fate as his copartner. Extraordinary Produce of Apples, and wet sold.—Mr. HA M M ERSLEY, of Hanley, lately' pur• chasing apples at Betley, in this county (Staf ford), the owner proposed to him to take the produce of one of his trees, at a halfpenny for the first measure, and doubling the amount upon each measure to the last, whatever the quantity might be ; on a little consideration, Mr. 11am mersley cheerfully consented, congratulating himself upon what he thought an advantageouf bargain. The produce of the tree proved to be 41 measures, and, to the great surprise of the purchaser, a demand was made upon him for 2,290,649,5441. 10s. Sd.—SlaffordshireAdvertiser. ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—AbOU seven o'clock on Sunday evening, whilst Mrs. Powell, an elderly widow lady, lip Ong at 35, Coldbath-square, was at Chapel, some villain by means of false keys entered her house ; the noise he made in ransacking the lower part of the house was heard by two men who lodged on the second floor ; one of them went dow❑ stairs to ascertain whence the noise proceeded, whilst the other went to look out of the window. As soon as the man who went down stairs (in the dark) entered the parlour, he received a tremendous blow on the head by the villain, and was knocked town. Ile called to his fellow-lodger to come down to his assistance, but as he was then look ing out of the window, be did not hear; the vil , lain gave him several desperate blows whilst he was down ; the poor fellow kept crying out " Murder !—Thieves!—Murder !" on which the ruffian gave him a deep stab in the side with some sharp instrument. his cries at length brought his fellow-lodger to his assistance, but the robber °fleeted his escape. On Mrs. Powell's coming home it was ascertained that the fel low had broken open a small escrutoire, and taken from it fourteen pounds in sovereigns ; a silver table-spoon, dropped by the villain in his hurry, was found in the passage ; all the rest of the plate escaped. We are happy to add, that the poor fellow who received the stab, though shockingly beaten and wounded, is in a fair way of recovery. A shocking accident happened yesterday (Sa turday, 12th inst.) at a manufactory in George street, Lawford's-gate. A young man, named George Jones, was in the act of tying a rope to the dinner-bell, when his foot slipped, and he fell on the fly-wheel of a steam engine, which was at work at the time, and which actually severed his head from his body.—(Bath Journal.) , -I- ..• • .;;;.

His Lordship and Family were to leave Paris on Sun day last for England ; from thence they were to proceed to Dublin. • MoNmouTit.—At the Mayor's dinner, held on Monday se'nnight, the old-fashioned ten-gallon measure was again brought forward, and twice tilled with excellent punch. It was borne to the table in form by three of the officers of the Chief Magistrate, who stood with goodly grace, giving the healths of those friends who had so ably supported their great cause. THE GLENGARRY GAMES. The Glengarry Games were held last week at Duneancroy At these sports Glengarry presidedlin all his glory ; and had the field amost wholly to himself, the other judges probably conceiv ing themselves ill qualified to decide in matters which lay alto gether between the chief and the gentlemen of his tail. Its best feathers were sported upon this memorable occasion : and it is but fair to own that it swept all before it. The manly sports and exercises of Highlanders are admirable things of their kind, when kept in their own place. At Duneancroy the spectator must have enjoyed the throwing of the hammer, putting the stones, &c. and even the foot race, which was excellent, albeit Southern delicacy might turn up its nose at the rather paradisical costume of the runner.—Eight of these athlette started—not ab solutely in Macau's night gowns, whatever may he whispered among the Ladies—but in shirts of rather ample dimensions, considering the comparatively recent adoption of this Saxon luxury in our country. The airy and well ventilated vestments in question proved however their high antiquity in various ways, and besides bore ample tokens of having seen abundant service since last year's great bucking washing at Invergarry. But shirts or no shirts, the fellows ran admirably, four of them corning in skelpin-named, after having completed their eight miles in fifty minutes. The tall, we regret to state, rather failed in " lifting the stone," a Garry pebble of some 18 stone weight, to be lifted and thrown over a bar placed more than five feet from the ground. Some persons turned away, but for our own parts, we see no possible objection to such an amuesment except the trifling hazard of a man rupturing a blood vessel, or breaking his back in attempting it. This teat of " lifting the stone," was—tell it not at Fortwilliam—ac complished by a mere stone-mason, after having foiled all the " pretty men" of Glengarry.—We are not quite sure what Lord Erskine, Mr. Martin, and these sort of folks, might say to another of our ancient sports, namely, falling upon a cow, in the dead threw, and manfully tearing the still reeking ani mal limb from limb, by dint of muscular strength. Some per sons were, we saw, squeamish enough to be shocked by this exhibition, and did not scruple to use the epithets " brutal, disgusting," and so forth. We would assure such persons that the three cows produced were, at any rate, stunned by a blow of the sledge-hammer before the muscular competitors began to wrench at their joints; and it is but rea sonable to think that some little remaining animal heat may be necessary, since it does facilitate this difficult operation. Even the most expert of the operators took from four to five hours in rugging and riving, tooth and nail, before they brought off' the limbs of one cow. This achievement was paid at the rate of 5 guineas a joint, so that we hope this rise in the value of black cattle will make the Glengary men some small amends for the fall of ewes and wedders at Falkirk Tryst, lately noticed by their chief. We undertand that Glengarry has it in con templation to give, next year, an additional ss. a joint to the man who shall first eat up the raw limb he has torn off, allow ing "mountain dew," ad lUiituin, to wash down the hair.— ' (Inverness Courier.) TURNPII,E ROADS.—lay the last general Turn pike Act, it is enacted, that if any " horse, ass, sheep, beasts, or cattle of any kind, shall at any time be found wandering or Icing about any Turnpike-road, or across any part thereof (except on such parts thereof as pass through or over some common or waste), it shallo net may be lawful for any Surveyor of the Road, where the same shall be found, or any other per son or persons whomsoever, to seize and impound every such horse, ass, sheep, swine, or other cattle, in the common pound ' of the parish, &c. there to be detained until the owner shall, for every such beast, pay five shillings to the person impound ing, same, together with all reasonable charges for impound ing and keeping ; and in case of non-payment for four days, the Surveyor of the Roads may sell such stray cattle, and supply the receipts in discharge of these penalties." No windmill cm be erected within 200 yards of any turnpike-road, under a penalty of M. per day, so long as the seine is continued. Chil dren under the age of thirteen are not allowed to drive carts, under the penalty of ten shillings. AMERICAN CUTLERY.—We have now before us three pocket or penknives, made at Pittsburg, and commonly sold in the shops of that city and its neighbourhood—a four-bladed knife, at 150 cents., a two-bladed knife at O'..q cents., and one with a single blade at 1c21: cents. These are the retail prices, and as low as knives of like quality can be fairly imported and sold at. This is what we did not expect. We have seen knives of Pittsburg manufacture that cost 5 dollars, which in every apparent quality rivalled the best pro ducts of Sheffield, at a similar amount of price ; and excellent razors are also made at the same place. These things are furnished by regular manufacturers. We also observe extensive esta blishments at New York, wherein tailors' shears, scissors, penknives, and razors are made, and warranted to be of the best quality. One of the great advantages of home manufactures is the di-- rect responsibility of the manufacturer to the public—which is just as wholesome in itself in a maker of razors as in a maker of treaties with foreign nations, or in contracts that involve mil lions of the people's money.—(Birmingham Chro nicle, Oct. 10.) --- The Sessions for the County of Middlesex will begin on Monday next, at the Sessions-house on Clerkenwell-green.

The coachman, on being called to, with all alacrity pulled up his horses, and many of the foot-passengers ran to the gentleman's assistance, who, to all appearances, was . killed ; for he neither moved a limb, nor spoke a word. As usual, in these cases, a shutter was procured, and on it was laid the body of the supposed lifeless man, which was borne on the shoulders of four men to the hos pital. On their arrival in the surgery the body was placed very gently on the table for inspec tion, and Mr. Mason, one of the dressers, promptly attended with his instruments for ope ration. On that gentleman being introduced to 'the unfortunate man, who had never spoken a syllable, to the amazement of his body carriers, and to all around, he jumped on his legs and d—d them all for murderers, and putting himself in a position for boxing, offered to tight the dresser for " a rump and dozen." The porters, watchmen, and other servants of the Hospital, were now called into action, and for some time the place was kept in confusion ; and it was not till the young man who attends in the surgery was knocked down by the intruder that he was kicked out of the Hospital-gate. An Inquest was held last evening at the Tri umphant Chariot, Pembroke Mews, Grosvenor place, before J. HIGGs, Esq. Coroner for -West minster, on the body of James Avery, a brick layer, who was on Eriday last at work upon a scaffold at a house, No. 10, Duke-street, Gros venor-square, which gave way, and he was pre cipitated to the ground. In the fall his head struck against the iron railings, one of which en tered his skull ; he was carried in a senseless state to the Hospital, where he expired.—Ver , dict, " Accidental Death ;" the scaffold forfeited.

YARMOUTH, OCT. 15.—1 t is hoped that his Majesty's brig Protector was not one of those wrecked on Sunday night. Six men belonging to the Ranger cutter are saved. FURTHER PARTICULARS.—In the gale of Sunday night, we are sorry to learn, the loss of the Ranger revenue cutter : having struck on Hasbro' Sand, it is supposed she imme diately fell on her broad-side, and that every soul on board perished ; but providentially a boat, with seven hands, de tached on a particular service, and these poor fellows, with one man on shore sick, are the only survivers out of a crew of forty men. From the situation in which the brig Protector, L'Havitt, commander, was seen just before the gale, great fears • may be entertained for her safety ;we are certain that Live brigs • • and a sloop are lost near Winterton, among which we find the Hope, of Newcastle ; Hopewell, of .51ablon ; and Supply, of Sunderland. CORN EXCHANGE, OcT. 16. Since last Monday the Arrivals have been confined to a few vessels, and that from the coast with Wheat and Barley, but not much other Grain fresh up ; good dry samples of Wheat selling this morning readily at last Monday's prices, but othei qualities are neglected ; Barley nearly sells at our last quota tion ; Beans and Peas are without alteration, and the Oat market remains still short, which supports last market day's prices. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SouTHWAILIC, OCT. 14.—Our Market is very dull, and the Weald of Kent and Sussex Hops are declining in price, the choice Middle Kents do not meet so quick a sale as they did, but they support their prices.

CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Saturday last, the sth inst., new stocks were erected in the village of Westcott., in this county, by order of the parish officers. It may appear somewhat strange, but it is nevertheless perfectly true, that the old ::cocks were positively worn out and decayed by old age, and not from any use in the way for which they were designed, as the oldest persons in the village do not remember any instance of a person being set in the stocks. The old ones, lately re moved, were put up between 40 and 50 years ago, and from. their erection to their removal were never made use of. A person who died about ten years ago, being then nearly eighty years of age, used to say, that in early life (he then being I constable) in the execution of his duty he placed a refractory man in the stocks (which were then standing), and which, is t.,e only instance handed down by tradition of a man being set in the stocks in the village of Westcott, a circumstance which re flects no little credit on the general good government 'of the village alehouse, situate near the spot, and which has been kept by the present occupier (Mr. Sanders) nearly 30 years.—(Backs Chronicle.) HOUSE ROBBERY.-On Saturday last a female, about the age of 26, engaged a ready furnished apartment at No. It, Barnsbury-row, Islington, for herself and husband, as she stated, who had just come from the country. On the Mon day evening following, during a temporary absence of -the fa mily, who had left the servant at home, they picked all the locks, and stripped the house of every article of wearing ap. parel, linen, plate, books, &c., and succeeded in getting away with the whole before the family returned. The man is about five feet one or two inches high, sallow complexion, ,and has every appearance of being in a consumption ; he is marked with the small-pox, and has dark hair. The woman is of a fair complexion, and has to strangers a forced smile , upon her countenance. They took the apartment by the name of Asplins. As a proof of the mildness of the season . , there was pulled, on the 2d of this month, in Soutlibar Garden, a dish of the rose strawberry, measuring two and three quarter inches in circumference, and equally high-flavoured as thosg pulled in July,.—( Glasgow Paper.) FIRE.-The neighbourhood of. Fish-street-hill was last night thrown into great agitation, in consequence of a fire breaking out in . the pre mises of Mr. Joseph- Walker, feather-bed ma nufacturer, residing in Fish-street-hill. The fire was perceived by the opposite neighbours, who saw clouds of smoke pouring out of the front door, and immediately informed Mr. Walker, who on examination found that some flocks and wool in the warehouse had by some unknown means taken fire and were burning furiously. Fortu nately for Mr. Walker, the speedy arrival of the engines prevented the flames from doing any very serious injury, except that of the windows which are smashed to pieces. The. new beds, flocks, and wool, that the fire had got into, were removed by the firemen to the churchyard oppo site, and the incessant rain soon Put out the fire, as did the engines on the premises. An American Paper lately, among a collection if miscellaneous paragraphs, under the title of "'Things in General," published the following : " A lottery is advertised in Delaware, for the purpose of drawing comfortable births in the burying ground." 1 -
