GRIND DIVING P,IIITY.

Lady HARDY'S late descent in the
at Plymouth, appears to have inspirit(' other Ladies
'in high life with i similar curiosity. There is now
a large party on a viii;t to the Honout able the Bishop
of W ATRRFORD, at his Palace in ilia city, includ-
ing the Right flonourahle the Earl and (Awnless of
MAYO, Miss MARY FITZCLAREIICE, the Lord
Bishop of Osimittr. the Honourable the Dean of
OssoßY, and others. 'flit Dublin Papers state,
that " un Saturday the party visited Dunmore.
when Miss Furzer.Ans.x cc and Miss lowi.eit
went down iii the ttivto:4-!Jell, and remained under
one hundred and twenty feet wan r for the space of
twenty-Ave minutes, accompanied liy two young
Gentlemen, and when below, they snug God save the
King, in the most elegant style." The party that
descended in the bell is not here accurately de-
scribed. From a private letter from a Gentleman.
who was on the spot, we learn, that it co, ►fisted of
the Hon. the Dean of Ossoay, with his niece, Miss
BOURKE, Miss M AltY Fit ZCLAIIENCE. Mr. BOURKE,
Mr. Fowl.Ea,and the person who had the charge of
the bell. IVhether the party, when below, sang God
twee the King, or whether their audience. the fishes,
we presume, applauded, and reported that it was exe-
cuted in an elegant style, our Correspondent does
not state; hut it is certain that Nils' FITZCI.ARENCE
wrote a note front below to the Bishop of Ossuar,
who witiseswd the descent from the neighbouring
Pier, and remained there during the immersion.
anxiously awaiting the return of the diving-hell
to the surface. 'lbis experiment shews, that female
fortitude and female delicacy are perfectly consis-
tent. How far the presence of the Clergy may have
encouraged these adventurous young Ladies, we
cannot say, but it seems they were resolved to Isere
the benefit of Clergy.

SLEEP-WALKING.

Yesterday an toques* was held at the London Hospital,
High-street, Whitethapel, before Jobe Wright Clths, Esq.
Corourr, on the body of Joseph Chandler, aged 17, irhu
game to his death under the following extraordinary circum-
stances:—

Jobs Hickion% surgeon's beadle at the Lclndos Hoepitid,
swore, said, that the deceased was brought there on the 10th
day of Oclobart with a dreadful concussive of the twain, mid
without hope of recovery; he was quite sensible the day (vi.
lowing, and staled the folluaing story to witness:—
That being in' bed be gut up in his sleep, thinking that he
heard some one telling him the house was falling, mi whirls
he arose sad ran to the window, which having no shun. rs he
immediately threw tip the sash, and jiimpeihnto the street,
bring a height of two stories; it was about two o'clock is
thr wurelim. The watchmen coming to his assistance gave
the alum, and he was taken into the honer, having perfectly
rveuvued his *eases and was conscious that it arose from
nothing but a diem ; in the fall be.pitched on his lo ad, and
his eyes were very much swollen. He imputed nu blame to
any person. He died on Tuesday last from the injurirs he
received by the fall. inflammation of the beano caused

Mr. John Price, landlord of the Britannia psWie•howee,
Backwortb•laue, New. road, St. George's, hi in swum, said,
that the deceased was in his employ as poldsoy, for the last

pressed any intention of laying violent hands on himself
The Jury, afire some deliberation, returned a verdict—
" That the deectuied come to hi+ death accidentally by jump.

LlT'Calt PROM DRUSSELS, OCT. 16.
One of the causes of the suppres►ion of the Jour-
nal of East and West Flandrr►, which appeared lat-
terly under the name of the Belgic Lion, was the
groundless accusation made in it against the offi-
cers of a neighbouring garrison. that they had cele-
brated the 15th August in honour of Napoleon.
ST. PETERSBURG'. OCT. 3.

The great works which have here commenced for
the improvement of this city are carrying on with
great activity. The broad pavement for the con-
venience of foot passengers, made of granite, are a
particular ornament. The great bridge of cast iron
over the Moika is nearly completed ; 30,000 pood
of iron, at 40 lb. per pood, have been employed iu
it. The•expense will amount to 400,000 roubles.
Count Boruansow, the Chancellor of the Em-
pire, has this year made a present of 1,000 roubles
to the Botanic Garden of Sitnpheropool, in the
Crimea. The director of the garden has destined
this tutu to the purchase of fig and olive trees in the
Genoese territory, to plant them in the Botanic
Garden.

The weather is still cold. and we ain't an early

POETRY.

TO SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE,
On his Mission to Congress with his Painting-Room.

Cannot you room for Sir Thomas make,
You folks at Aix.la.Chopelle ?
Why then tois own Room will Sir Thomas take,
Which will du every whit as well.

What a change ! once Ant from Italy,
Our artiste were souk in gloom ;
But now, if abroad or at home they be,
They may 8.101 thanAelves iu Rome

And in polities pettier stills the change ;
Since Sir Thomas. in his skill;
Of Monarchs and Ministers the whole range
May place and turn at his will.

No Emperor will look on one side,
If he bid him look on euther ;
No King will stir whom he agks to hide,
Till he net him in peace by anutlier.

Diplomatists, intriguing and sly,
Beneath his magic command,
Most consent on one thing to fix their eye,
And to one thing put their hand.

All sweetly, composed, the mighty here
Will pryer quarrel a bit;
Nor standirg armies need we to filar,
When every General moat sit.

Henceforth, then, parchment bonds be vain—
(They never yet ,ere true)
That treatira more Natio: may remain,
Let's try what canvass can do.

Then prosper thee, Sir Thorns., I pray,
lii thy doings at Aix-la-Chapelle :
Oh! make Europe's Arbiter.: look all one way—.
And every way look well.

TO CORINNA.

Tausport me to the Elysian field,
Described by bards uio!d,
Where pleasures in succession yield,
To newer joys untold ;
There would I range iu rapture bright,
Through all the golden maze,
While blissful objects lin'd my sight,
la one unceasing gaze;
Still these rind sweeter scenes than these,
With gladness I'll resign,
For that exotic perfum'd breeze
Which whispers "thou art 'Ririe!"
Place me within the bower of Love,
Where Plidonieles throat
Warbles sweet concert through the grove,
With silvery-sounding note ;
Enchantment on the lisening ear,
Illusion might devise,
The echoing foliage might appear,
A second Paradise ;
Yet more enticing scenes than these,
I'll willingly decline,
For that sweet vernal kindly breeze,
Which whispers "thou art wine.^'

Bear me on visionary wing
Up where the eagles fly,
Where bright seraphic spirits sing,
In ceaseless ecstasy;
lily soul enti stied in pure delight,
Might long to quit her clay,
And through intending day and night,
Desire to join their lay;—
But sweeter, better, far than these,
Thu' tun'd in strains divine,
Is that rose-scented balmy breeze,
Which whispers "Mau art mine."'

The tragedy of Macbeth was 11• t. night per-
formed—the character of Lady Maci,eth, fur the
first time, by Mrs. W. WEST. We have rarely
seen this chalacter so represented as to place before
our mental eye, a just picture of the unfeminine
boldness of the ruthless tris.sions of that ardent love
of " sovereign sway and mastery "—which impel
Lady Macbeth onward in a course of crime—aud
leave her, fitiallv , the victim ofthose " compunct l

that the account given in The Cowries of that day,
bad " grossly, villainously, and falsely," slandered
him iw the account given of the fracas of that day,
between himself and Mr. Dowling of The Observer.
Ile described Mr. D. to have merely struck hint
over the bat, taking the adv:intaze of his back being
turned towards hon. lie (Mr. Hunt) was all
courage, and Mr. D. quite the reverse. He then
ordered his followers to give three cheers, which wog
complied with. The party then moved off to 714
Morning Post office, where, after a harangue in the
Same style, Mr. H. threw a Newspaper among the
mob—and they proceeded to the office of The
Observe►. In the course of his oration here, he
pointed out to the crowd • young Gentleman,
whom he accused of uttering remarks hostile to
him. Three or four ruffians instantly rushed on
the Gentleman, mud knocked him down, and, we
are sorry to learn, that he received a severe hurt in
one of his legs. When the cavalcade had reached
Norfolk-street, Mr. Jones harangued the multitude
for some time from the top of the hackney-coach.

The gentleman we have above alluded to went
afterwards to Bow-street, and rwore informations
before Mr. Hicks against Mr. Hunt, for having
instigated three or four persons to assault him vio-

danger.

A warrant was issued against Mr. Hunt, and the
officers were ordered to have him in Court by tea
o'clock in the morning.
