LYNN THEATRE.

- -•- - - ----- - ---
The spirited manager of this theatre, Mr. Hooper,
has had considerable rivalry of late by the attractions
presented to the seekers after amusement by our cele-
brated mart, which, in its turn, had also an opponent in
the severity of the weather ; the clouds have now
passed away, and we augur great success to our
talented manager and company. We have had occasion
before now to speak of the general constituents of the
company and the class of entertainment, and it is
now our duty and pleasure to be able to record that
some of our finest dramatic productions have been
played most efficiently. Amongst the plays produced
of
Simon,thes
we may enumerate the Othello of our immortal bard
Richelieu;":The Stranger-; and Sheridan's glorious
comedy of the Rivals. The principmaladpaamrtse

LINES ON THE DEATH OF THOMAS MOORE.
(From the Cork Southern Reporter.)
Another departed!—the last of a cluster
That star-like illumined thy slavery's night,
That shed on thy combat for freedom a lustre
Which shone like a glory of God on the fight.
Thy Prelate* the first of the galaxy perished,
Thy Tribunal' thy Orator 4 later have past,
Thy Minstrel—that name in thy story so cherished§--
The Bard of thy struggle, has left thee the last.
Each nobly essayed to exalt thy condition.
One only through ages the work will prolong.
Priest, Orator, Tribune have ended their mission,
But Death sets no term to the triumphs of song.
No—long as thy cliffs shall be lashed by the waters,
And long as thy cloud-wreathed hills shall endure,
dsb
oatuchleed, thee
A spell on the hearts of thy sons and thy daughters,
e, galled thee,
Will rest, in the soul-stirring lyrics of Moore.
Not now, while thy fections still madly distract thee;
yrd a hillnee
Not now, while thy wounds, self-re-opened, still bleed,
Wilt thou pause to remember holdwiimsnebnoaboatil
When chains were thy guerdon, until thou vast freed,
Yes! freed from the yoke that so angrily
thy deliverers
itvieedr theeers ithenn
And bade thee go forward to Liberty's
goal.
FrTombcithfeetsteertsh
But not, alas! freed from the vices that bound
The weakness—half trust, half suspicion, then,
The ignorance ages of wrong gathere of slaves,
Which leave thee, to-day, still the victim of knaves.
Oh! Erin, from these, .thy
The Diced of the victor were deliv'rance were glorious,
Who should stifle the breath
of mighty indeed,
And teach thee true Liberty'sthy factions uproarious,
dignified d•
cree .
Should raise thee from a
And, leading thee fortnharchy's victim-stained altar,
Should hear thee, at l to a holier shrine,
The precepts o f F r eeendgth, with a trembling lip, falter
om's religion divine.
The page of thy Bard yields
that loftier
teaching
That yet wiltthou learn—though neglected to-day,
For turn thee thou wilt from the anarchist's preaching,
To love that great gospel that lives in his lay.
Half ally, half serf, to a free-thoughted nation,
Ilia aid to uplift thee, be gloriously gave.
Uplifted resolve! Be her equal in station
And freedom, nor grovel, the slave of a slave!
He lived to lament o'er thy saddest condition—
While slavery's antics mocked liberty's name—
And, shocked at thy bondage of self-imposition,
He fled thee for ever, in sorrow and shame.
Leave his dust to the land where his death-sigh WO
breathed
Land worthy the dust of a freeman to keep !
With nigh t-shado his urn would, by thee, be enwreathed,
And bigotry's venom the corona! steep.
Perchance, in some moment of happier omen,
When present dissensions shall wake thy disgust,
When thy children, as rivals, shall strive, not as foemeng
Thou too shalt be worthy of guarding such dust.

Then may 'at
Repelling thy slights, and repenting thy wrong;
And Albion, subdued by thy sadness, surrender
The urn of the bard to his loved Isle of Song.
But, now, let him sleep, far away from contention,
His memory embalmed in the Patriot's thought—
The Patriot who blushes his genius to mention,
While bitterly conscious how vainly it taught.

Wile ARMS THE KAFIRS ?—lt is an inferior
article from Birmingham which has been slaughtering our
soldiers at the Cape for months past. One wonders whether
they know the fact, and whether it aggravates the pain of
their wounds and their shame. Traders on the African
coast ascertain the wants of the inhabitants, in regard to
firearms among other things : they send their order to
London merchants

the Birmingham manufacturers, and, after a time, if a
Kafir is disarmed, his iece is found to bear the name or
