Would that the Tans, who cut thy early days,
The c:uel Fate., wou:d set my Lee,
That I might quit the earth, the sol.ir ray.,
To be, lov'd Helen! once again with they.

0! toucli not with thy lips dull LethT's tidet,
But think that he will come, who loves the, well
Through shades I come with faithful lore, me guide,
Whose torch, resplendont, will the boildloir.)

Yesterday afternoon, His MAJESTY:accompanied
by the Duke of Youq inspefted the pickets on the
parade, and the troops marched past them on the
sands as usual.
His MAJESTY, the Duke of YORE, all the Gene-
rals and Aid-de-Camps, then walked for some time
or. the Esplanade, when His Martsry returned to
Gloucester Lodge.
In the evening, the Earl of thee:on e gave a
grand ball, at the Royal Hotel; Their Mk:F.3I'ILS,
and the ROYAL FAMILY, honoured it with their
presence. As early as seven o'clock, the great ball
roorri was full of beauty and fashion. The Royal
visimrs departed about eleven o'clock, highly pleased.
The Theatre last right, owing to His MAJI sr v
not commanding, could not boast of a crowded
house, notwitl.starniing the attraftion of the new
Farce: the Play was The Stranger: Sao oroen's
• Steamer; NAYLees Solomon; and PALMER'S Preis it,
were strialy what the author meant : The Gay De-
,rimes followed, and the public were not disappoint-
ed in the great expectation they had formed of it.
llsoess, us the poetical landlord, Pegasus Pi, A ar-eon,
displayed a fund of humour; NAY LE It, in Nehemiah
Ikm, blended the putitan and shewman in a capital
and kept the house in a roar ; PALMER, in Sr,
Harry Poppinja;s, gave us a judicious representation
of Bond-street fashion and gallantry; Miss GRANT
played jenny Slumps admirably. His MAJESTY has
command. d The Sasaitious Husband, and The Gay
Doi ivers, for Wednesday.
About ten o'clock last night, the Duke of Yost:
and suite left this place for London.
'I he Duke of Sussex intended to have gone about
the same time; but post-horses acre not to be got.
and he was obliged to defer his journey till this
morning.
This morning, before six o'clock, His MAJESTY
bathed in his warm sea-bath ; before srcca
be was on horseback, and tock a short ride on the
Dorchester road; but the wind proving very cold,
he returned and rode for some time upon the sands,
and then through Weymouth to the Lodge to
breakfast.
After breakfast, His MAJESTY and two of the
rsINCESSES went on board the Rood Sort reign yacht.
There was so strong a gale of wind from me N.E.
and so great a swell, at the time His MAJESTY took
water at the Pier. that all persons present were as-
tonished at His MAJESTY'S persevering in going on
beard. His MAJESTY seemed greatly pleased with
the tossing of the barge, much more so than the
Farness's. The ships saluted as usual, and the
barge had many ups and downs before it reached the
yacht ; at ten o'clock, however, they were safe on
board, and they and the ship were soon after out of
tight The wind continued for some time to increase.
Her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES took an airing
