KING'S THEATRE,.---A numerous train of the
higher orders attended the repetition of Ii Baione
di Dolsheim, and the new ballet Les Pages du
Due de Vendome, last night, and the. House was
otherwise crowded. The, whole was received
with great applause, and the audience detained
to a late hour.

ROYAL COBOL:AG THEATRE.—A new melo-
drama intitled Adelaide, or The Fatal Seduction,
and founded on the same story as the piece in-
titled Adeline, representing, at Drury Lane Thea-
tre, has been brought forwtcrd at this place. It
is a very interesting piece, and receives due ad-.
vantage from th,',/performance and the scenery,
which' is very Veautiful find appropriate. The
applause of the audienCe was warmly reiterated,
and we may predict that
_the piece is likely to be
an object of primary attraction, without intend-
ing a reflection on the glase curtain.
CHORAL. FeNb.—This Society, for the Relief
of the Families of decayed Members, had its be-
nefit at the English Opera House on Monday

POETRY.

• THE VIQLET AND THE,ROSE.
Car. the Spring, when young andlair,
Boast, a flow'r whose charms can btu
' Te vie with those which Summer tbrows
iron the'bosoni of the rose ?
01, yes—'tis when the Violet blows.

Hors modestly she shuns the gaze ,
Of Pl-,cebvs, when Le seeks to raise
Her T;eil of green, and stmts. between
fllefe.-,ldings of her leafy screen,
Content to blossom there unseep-

Not 3.a the flirting rose--6tie R;MtT.O
To r?vel in. his brigLtext beams— .
As if he shone for her'alone ;-
And yet the gallant San is prone .
To leave her wl:en her beauty's 4ovni

Ard as the canker-worm will prey
Upon her charms from day to day,
Sbe's left to die, unheeded Ly
Those who beheld her grow so hie:,
And bear herself so flauntingly I

Arid thus it is-:--the scorful airs, •
'Which conscious beauty sortietirnac.wearc,

But ill disguise,-from watchful eyes, •
The snaring arts with which she tries
To make some glitering Beau her prize.
Arid though awhile she movc along,
The brightest of the joyous throng,
Oh ! still there may perch.:mce to stra'
Same enough:, which on her mind will prey;
An.d steal her sweetest smile away !

But when her check's young bloom is fled-,
And her oye's dark lustre dead, -
She seeks in vain that heart agar,
Which wounded once by her .disdair.,
She never, never, can regain.

Mr. ROBERT KEITH DOUGLAS, the newly ap-
pointed Lord of the Admiralty, is the youngest
brother of the present. Marquis of QUEtNSBERP.Y.
MIDDLESFX: MEETING.—A Requisition is. in
the course of signature, for the purpose of Con-
vening a Meeting of the County to petition Par-
liament for " an effectual reduction of the Ex-
penditure of the Nation, and for Reform in the
Commons !rouse of Parliament."

Low LtrE.--During the progress of Jos.
FlArtwAv's exertions in favour of chimney-sweep-
ers, he addressed a little urchin of the sooty
tribe, after he had swept a chimney in his house.
" Suppose now I give you a shilling?" " God
Almighty bless your honour and thank you."
" And what if I give you a fine tie wig to wear.
on May-day, which is just at hand ?" " Ah
,bless your honour? my master won't let me go
out on May-day." " No! why not ?". " Because
he says it is low life."
SMART REPROOF.—In the year 1795, on the
anniversary of the murder of Louis XVI. some of
the principal French refugees gave a grand enter-
tainment, to which all the persons of distinction in
London were invited. The entertainment con-
sisted of a ball, a supper, and a play ! The
English Journals took a very piquant way of
expressing their sense of . this indecorous exhibi-
tion. When the next anniversary of the death
of Charles I. arrived, they announced it in the
following manner, " To•morrow is the anniversary
of the Martyrdoni of Charles the First. The
French are acquainted that there will be no ball."
GANNET, on SOLAND GoosE.—A remarkable
fine bird of this species was caught a short time
since, by a shepherd's dog, in a wood on Binbury
Farm, Debtling, which measured six feet from
the tip of one wing to the other. A very rare in-
stance of this bird's being met with so far South.
A FoRorvINGFIFE.--About three weeks since,
a man, who resides at Near-Rockaway, hung his
wife! She was discovered while in this situation
by a family who resided in the house with them,
cut down, and after considerable exertion was.
resuscitated;‘ the next day the husband compro-
mised the affair with his wife by purchasing a
crape dress for her !—(Jumaiccr Farmer, Jam 3.)
At theVate eclipse of the Moon, about the
time of the greatest obscuration, the bottom of
the darkened part heatne very red, and re-
mained so till near the end of the eclipse : it had
much the appearance of rays darting .upwards,
similar to the Aurora Borealis.

Bui.LocK IluNTlNG.—Yesterday a bullock was
separated from a drove in Smithfield, and hunted
by upwards of WO blackguards along West-
street. The animal, to avoid his pursuers, jumped
through the shop window of Mr. Walter, boat and
shoemaker, on Saffron-hill, and shattered it to
pieces ; it ran into the'parlour, and jumped out
at the back window into the yard ; the family
were dreadfully' alarmed, but fortunately receiv-
ed no personal injury.

nox.T.E.'2 I:4Q.l3EST.—Yesterd-4 rStcyncen :inquisition
was taken before J. W. .U.:iwzir, Esq. at the Horns public-
house, opyesite Shoreditch Church; on the body of Mrs.
Sarah Smith, aged 28 years, who :vas found drowned in the
Regent's Canal on Friday morning. The beadle itifotmed the
Ccroner that he had used every endcayeur to procr.ire i'arthcr
evidence, but he could not. l'he deceased *its the wife of Mr.
smith, a narrow weaver, in Nelsen-street, Friar's Mount,
by whom she had had four children, and Wal then far advanced
in pregnancy. . Verdict" Found drowned."
ROBBrltirs.-,--Monday night, Mrs:
Towers, of Barrett's-huildings, heat-road, was
stopped near the corner of Blackman-street, Bo-
rough, by two men, one of whom pulled off •her
pocket, whilst the other snatched her shawl.—On
the same night, and about an hour afterwards,
an elderly gentleman was beset at the same spot,
and robbed of an umbrella and his watch.

About eight in the evening of Thursday last,
a fire was discovered in the Parsonage-yard of
the Rev. John 17,tIonins, at Ringwould, which, in
a short time, consumed the tarn and several
lodges, with great part of their contents; but by
the active exertions of a party of the Coast
Blockade, and the military from Deal, aided by
an engine from the Naval-yard, and many of the
inhabitants of that place and the'neighboarhocd,
the flames were fortunately prevented.frorn ex-
tending their destruction to the adjacent build-
ings. We regret to )earn that there is too much
reason to believe that the fire was wilfully occa-
sioned, and that two labouring men have been
apprehended on suspicion of being the perpetra-
tors.--.(Keritirk Gazette.)

On Monday se'nnight his Majesty's ship Leven, Captai-
W. F. Owen; accompanied by the baraeouta, Capt. Cntile:d,'
sailed on a voyage of Discovery and Survey, in which ne.rvicesr- '
they will be engaged thrie or four years, exploring the S. •
Coast of Africa and the islands adjacent. The chain-pumps.
of the Leven are, at the suggestion of her scier“ce Comman-
der, fitted on a-plan • entirely new 4 by which the pocier of ilie
Capstan it applied to the purpose of pumping the chip. It is ,
the invention of Lieut. E. Edwards, and from 1:3 applie
cation the following advantages are gained, in eases of gran '
and dangerous leaks :—lst, The dischargc of two-fifths more
water than any number of men in the usual manner can effect
in any given space of time. 2dly, A constant motion of the •
pumps is preserved ; whereas in the present mode, by winches, .
(few men being able to continue even moderate exertions for
more than ten minutes)—great loss of time occurs in the fit,
quent change and relief of the pumpers, and each relief has to •
commence with the disadvantage of giving a new impetus.-
3dly, A ship's crew may, at watch and watch, in hourly or
half hourly spells, continue an incessant action of the pumps
for seven or eight days, without very great fatigue ; whereas,
with a leak of two-and-a-half or three feet per hour in the usual
mode, no time can be allowed for repose, and a ship's crew.are
generally exhausted in the short space of 24 hours. It is per,
haps proper to observe, that there are but few frequented spots
of the Globe, from which, in the space of seven or eight days; a •
ship in the greatest distress would not be enabled to reach some
port of safety, or obtain succour. 4thly, The Capstan is kept
in motion by the ordinary action of walking, with a certain den-
gree of pressure applied to the bars, in which the most power-
WI muscles of the human frame, and those best edapted to cone
tinned action, are employed-steadily and fegularly ; whereas at -"e.
the winches, a constant painful bending and raieing of the body,
with violent action of many smaller muscle!, particularly of tie '
arms, arc required, and by the friction of the winches the skin .
is speedily rubbed off the hands, so that men are unable to em- -
ploy them even after a cessation of laberar has produced a re-
covery of strength. sthly, The pumping may be continued, • ,
and the Capstan employed in taking up one or both of the ate-
chors, warping the ship into a harbour or shoal water for •
greater safety, cr in any other service, as the communication
with the chain--pumps does not operate to affect its applicanen
for the usual purposes. ,fitly, In battle, the most serious .
that can be prcduced may be counteracted without ceasing to
fire more than one or two guns on the quarter-deck ;. whereas
winches, in such cases, prevent the firing of half the main cc
lower-deck battery. It is worthy of notice, that the winches are
still left, if under any circumstances the use of them. should to -
preferred. Lieut. :Cderards' , the inventor,. superintended ere
-14tting of his machinery to the primps of the Leven, which wai
act completed until a day 'Cr two belcze she'sailed, when a t.eal,
completely successful, was made in the presence of Capt. Han, -
of the Queen Charlotte, Captains Sir James Gordon, Levi.-- ,
mere, and Low, three Officers who, it may be presumed, have
not advanced thus far in their -naval career without an oeca- •
sional spell at the Winches., and who expressed their .strong de;
tided approbation of the plan, and Capt. Owen has granted
certificate• in:detail to the inventor, couched in tenna
must be highly gratifying to his feelings as an. Officer ..anet a
ratan.—At this trial, we are told, three fee: watereequal to ten ,
tons, were pumped out by 24 men in nine Minutes. The es-
pence of applying ;his simple apparent's to the chain-pumps of •
a finst-rate will not exceed le-a and no disadvantage whatever_
can arise from the space it occupies, that being very erne:,
close to the main:neat and between the pumps,_(Hampshire
Telegraph.).
