CCC.I^X£D FT THR DRATH OF
M;s3 CHARLOTTE BUTLER.
All hail to the feafoo, when nature agaii:
D^cks the grecn-covcr'd earth in hertweeUL
When VENUS and Flora are found on the
plain.
And each pleasure r turns with the love,
breathing MAY /
While now the fond swain, to some credulous
maid,
Attunes the foft lute, and each bofora is ga)
From yon mansion the tranfporrs of ecftacy fade
And the mantle of death clouds the lanfhinc
of May 1
There, bending o'er charms that can never re
turn,-
Remembrance dniraded, drives comfort awa,
, But, CHARLOTTE, the tearerops thai
CEM ROUND THY URN,,
"ARE LIKE PEARLS OF SWEET LEW ON THi
eye-lids of May !
Fair, gertie, and modest, thy {lender formrofe
Like the filly, that fears the rude glances o
But thy heart could like warmth with thc.un
beam difclote, ,
And thy ag^jn life's year, was the ho,
yielding May!
But beauty,and fweetnefs,and youth,are in vain
And reflexion faall strike his cold bofom,and
fay—
Our warmest, best joys are oft sources of pain
And the hours of delight are as fleeting at
May.
Around thee,tweet ghl, the w':lg songster fhali
breathe,
With plaintive, foft music, the heart-touch
ing lay,
And, emblems of her, who lies keeping beneath
Thy turflhall be Brew'd with the blooms
of May. THE SYBIL.

~THE search cf all mankind is after happineft ;
but various are the modes of their pursuit.
The sensualist delighfog in his joys, the drunk
ard in his cups, the hero in pursuing the
phantom worldly honor, and the debauchees
full and folly blended ; all proclaim aloud in the
refult.the vanity of worldly things,the instability
of earthly feenes, , ; „r
The appetite of the tenfualiA ends in fatiet,
and disgust , the inebriety of the drunkard in
debasement and debility; the ambition of the
hero, in chagrin and disappointment ; and the
licentiousness of the debauchee, in weaktiefs ant
loathsome diseases. [Ferment Gaz.

Extraordinary Circumstance.
"Some time ago a woman prefented^t
3 pawnbroker's office, in Hoarfe's-lane, n
Cork,"R "bundle of clothes as a pledge
demanding,! the fame time to be inform
ed ot the 'um which tne pawnbroker
Would lend. After a proper infpettior
of the contents of the bundle, the was
answered that eighteen (hillings was the
highelt sum that cchld be advanced on the
goods; but as the woman seemed to
confider the fam to be inadequate to her
wants, file repacked her bundle with great
care in the presence ot the clerk and with
drew to the d or. Ina lew fecohds (he
returned and said ffie had changed her
mind and would accept ot the sum offer
ed her, laying at the fame time a bundle
on the counter. She accordingly receiv
ed th money and went array. -The clerk
took up the bundle to convey it 6p flairs
to the (tore room, and had proceeded part
of the way, u ten he perceived something
to move in the bundle, a circumstance
which caused him to re examine what he
thought he had before mfpe^ed with fuf-;
ficent accuracy ; and upon opening the;
outside folds of the bundle, his aftonifh^
merit on perceiving a fine boy may be ea
sier conceived than cxpreiTed. The wo
taiaii had prepared two bundles as much
alike as possible, and by the dextrous fob
ftitution of one for the other, (he contri
ved to impose the infant on the clerk. It
mould be dated, with the credit it de
ferves,that the pawnbroker having had th<
child chrittened, and called Bundle-Boy
provided it with proper cloths and a nurL
bird has exercised the mast attentive hu
inanity to the little orphan. [Lon. pap.

Fr.. id on the Bank of Eughn
On Saturday Ful an .cupleafant difcov
„ was made at the bank of England.
Mr. Biff,, of Coruhi!l, some time ago,
fold Mr. Cowell, broker for the bank ter
tain exchecue; bills, which bar! been pu'
into his hands for tale. 1 hole exchequer
bills were of course, deported under tin
cue of the carriers, by whom money w^
iffhed for the purchase. In the end o^
halt week, the perlon now in cudoly
holding anoffice in the bank,brought form
exchequer bills to Mr. Bifh tor sale. Up
on examination, Mr. Bifh found thole t<
re the very bills which he had lately fob.
!to the bank-broker, Mr. Cowell. He wa<
iurprifed at the discovery. But it occur
red to him that there mult be merely
''fome miftak^in the matter, on the part
,if the bank or its servants, He went tw
"the bank and cemomnichted these partiem
hrs. An investigation was immediate!
is militated, the result of which difeovered ;
nat an affiftantto the calmer cad a&ua!
y y been of late it the practice of feifluing
e, d or his own private benefit, exchequer
tc bills, which, haViog been bought in by the
rank, had been deposited under cnllody
:- Monday and yeftefday the inveftigatio
was renewed, and 'profecuted to greater
iv eugths. The gentleman, who had unfor
t tunately been betrayed into inch abreac.
if trtift, was committed to the custody of
R thrSow-ftrect officers ; with one of these
before him, one behind, and a third at his
, right hand, <e was conducted before
o f Brooke Watson, E'q. a magistrate, and
one of the directors of the bank. A long
]. ac? minute examination took place. It
v,s difeovered that this person, a man of
^ inodelt unexpenrive habits, who has beer,
brought up from a raw youth, under the
rarnediate care & favour of Mr. Abraham
' Newland,has 1 ved for the last titteen years
Lnlodgings; and with an income of about
iooolc a year, has not apparently, been
}'a the habit of expending more than %001.
" has nevertheless embezzled lately, to the
amount cf not Ids (we are assured) than
11 ico,dool. flerling,of the property entruf
ed to his official care. It is not imagin
i- ed that his error is to be attributed to
any other caefe than Speculating in the
h funds,amid their late firnfthatigns,ruinous
3to so many of the monied inicreff. He
earnestly entreated to be left at liberty till
e Monday next. His request could not be
complied with; He is we underhand
to fully committed to Newgate for trial.
;The punishment for his crime is by
"a late a& death.' He was likely to
"have Succeeded his patron, Mr. New.
'land, now greatly advanced in years
n the office of principle cashier to the,
>ank. No character could be higherthan
!ns for integrity and honour. Mr. Gold;
[ mith is (aid to have declared that he
would have advanced him 50,0001. or
(lis word, just as ready as five farthings.'
