EPITAPH.
beneath this stone lies old JOAN 13tyrri
IVhsci died, alas! when taking Snuff;
One day,
,as she a pinch was seizing)
Grim Death came in, and taught her sneezing,
When irons her hand the Snuff-box fell,
And to its charms JOAN bid farewell;

SONG.—Mr. TIERNEY:
Thne—" The Thorn."
Froin the white clitfs'of Albion the Pr--ss requested
That she o'er the sea mig-ht he borne.
" No, by Heav'n !" I exclaimed, sooner I'd perish
Than take from the side of the I{—t a time's,

Next I tailed of a grant, and implor'd her to tarry,
ghe tilnsli'd like a lantern st horn.
I'll consent, she replied, if von swear it shall carry
No bond or condition a should scorn..
No, by Heaven 1 extlained, may I perish,
If ever I take from the a thorn.

Then a Bill was brought in, and a large sum was given,
She cried, I'm to none of you bound;
You're deceived, if you thilik to. your toils I am driven,
Fir now cut the Party, and quit Brit►sh ground.
Oh ! by Heaven, had I known this I'd ne'er striviin
To have voted to her Highness even one single.paund.

Mrs. JORDAN returned from Ostend; on Mon-

picture of the gaiety which presides at Brussels.
HORN; the celebrated Ferryman at 'Twicken-
ham, has at length retired from his labours, hav-
ing completed the 95th year of age. Ile bad a
perfect recollection of POPE, whom he bad often
ferried over to his Villa. The old man used to

The seizures of French manuractuers smuggled
into the country. have, it is said, been immense

THE THEATRE.--Drury-Lane Theatre was
opened again last night, with the comedy.of
Oats. The characters were represented by the
same Performers as appeared in them last season,
with the exception of Mr. BARNARD in the part
of Henry. We noticed the performances of this
actor at the Haymarket -Theatre, of which he
was among time best of its provincial importations.
He is very well calculated for the second-rate line,
and has at least the merit of decent mediocrity.
MuNDEN, on his first appehrance, in Ephraim
Smooth, and Mrs. GLOVER, in Lady Amaranth,
received a very favourable greeting; Mrs. EDWIN
repeated the introductory Address, which was
well received. There was a numerous

A mason, at Brecon, a short time ago was or-
dered to erect a tomb-stone, on which he in-
scribed the age of the deceased as 89. His friends,
finding the real age to have been gO, insisted on
his adding ' another year. This the ingenious
IVelchman accomplished, and the stone now ac-
tually bears, " aged 891 !"
