SONNET.
JULIET'S ADDRESS TO MIGHT.
THOU lingering Sow, withdraw thy eavioos light,
And, darkness spread thy fable veil between ;
Then Ihall my Romeo, shrouded by the night,
Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unfeea.
Lovers the darkling path of bliss can find,
And need not borrow from the day its aid ;
Beauty fopplies a light, for lore is blind,
And fecks congenial (belter in the shade.
Come gentle night, give Romeo to these arms,
Ah ! give him now, and when my love shall die,
Cut him in little stars ; he'll lend thee charms,
And add such glories to the dusky iky,
That all the wor Id, in love with night shall pay
No worship to the garish face of day.

BUENOS NOCHES.
A Spanish gentleman, who had but one eye, used fre^
fluently to attend a tennis-court, whenever any match of
skill was played there. One day, the ball was so violently
struck against the other eye, as in a moment to deprive him
®f the use of it. He bowed to tne company, and without
apparent emotion, left the court, faying " Buenos noches!
Good nigbe Gmtlemm.''
Piscataqua Bridge.
THE Directors of Piscataqua Bridge Proprietors
have this day voted an assessment of Ten Dollars,
on each and every Proprietor's Share, and directed
the Treasurer to collect the same, within one month
from the date.
The Proprietors are therefore requested to pay
the same to the Treasurer, at his office in Ports
mouth, on or before Wednesday the third day of
dforil next.
The Proprietors are informed, that each year
since the Bridge was built, there has been a pro-
Bressive increase of toll : the amount collected the
& year is more than six fter cent, on the first
cost. But the repairs the last year, with what must
necessarily be expended the ensuing season, for
which large advances have already been made by
the several Directors of the Bridge, and Managers of
the Lottery, amount to more than the toll collect
ed since the last dividend. The proceeds of the
Lottery cannot yet be realised.
