thing, may very possibly, before the season is over,
he turned into a Quadrille tune, to be danced by till!
elite at Almacks. A " Thought suggested by the
New Year," by Mr. Campbell ; and " A Bona,"
Mr. Elliott, are both, in their way, such gracefu
poems, that we cannot refrain from extracting them
The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages :
A day to childhood seems a year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladsome current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals, ling'ring, like a river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But as the care-worn cheek grows wan,
And sorrow's shafts fly thicer,
Ye stars that measure life to man !
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and breath,
And life itself is vapid,
Why, as we reach the Falls of Death,
Feel we its tide more rapid?
It may be strange—yet who would change
Time's course to slower speeding ?
When one by one our friends have gone,
And left our bosoms bleeding.
Heaven gives our years of fading strength
Indemnifying fleetness;
And those of youth, a seeming length,
Proportioned to their sweetness.

Broom glowed in the valley
For William and Sally,
The rose with the rill was in tune ;
Love fluttering their bosoms
As breezes the blossoms,
They strayed through the woodbines of June.
Oft, oft he caress'd her,
And to his heart pressed her,
The rose with the woodbine was twined ;
Her cheek on his bosom,
Like dew on the blossom,
Enchanted the tale-telling wind.
Poor Sally was bonny ;
But Mary had money,
Aye, money and beauty beside ;
And wilt thou sweet Mary,
Thou fond and unwary !
Deprive the wise fool of his bride ?
Yes ; bee-haunted valley !
Poor heart-broken Sally
No more with her William will stray;
" He marries another !
I'm dying ! Oh, mother,
Take, take that sweet woodbine away 1"
" Precepts and Practice," is a dramatic dialogue by
Theodore Hook, and forms the substance, we suspect,
of a rejected farce. In his account of the " Barbarians
of the North," Mr. Leitch Ritchie tells a humourous
story of the disasters which befell a German bachelor
at Moscow, in consequence of his inordinate attach-
ment to a splendid head of hair. The " Alibi" is a
common-place Irish tale ; and we cannot say much
more for Mr. Willis's story of the "'Revenge of the
Signor Basil."

MANUAL OF ENTOMOLOGY,
Contains the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Num-
bers of a translation from the zoological works of the
celebrated German naturalist Dr. Hermann Burmeister.
We cannot speak for the literalness of the translation,
but we may safely vouch for the correctness and
elegance of its style.

DREADFUL HURRICANE

day ; but it was nearly five P.M. before the remaining two of
the crew, and a female passenger (a soldier's wife,) were,
after great and most praiseworthy exertions, rescued in
a very exhausted state. Although the hull and rigging
still keep together, the vessel will be an entire
wreck. The cargo, which is in the act of being carted to
Portpatrick, will, for the most part, be saved without sustain-
ing. very material injury. We may notice the zealous conduct
of Captain Fayrer, and two lads Kennedy of Portpatrick,
whose efforts for the preservation of the crew were attended
with ,great risk to their lives. John Murdoch, Esq., J. P.
Dinvin, was also present at the time William Allen ran ashore,
till the latest hour, anxiously promoting the rescue and resto-
ration of the crew, and, as a Magistrate, when they were got
ashore, and the tide had receded, he went on board the vessel,
took possession, and kept the charge till the arrival of Lloyd's
agent from Stranraer. We regret to add, that the honour
th7s praiseworthy conduct reflected on the district has been
clouded by scenes of the most disgraceful pillage and exten-
sive plunder. We hear that goods to the value of about 1,0001.
were carried off by the depredators in one night.
On same day, at 4 A.M., the sloop Betsy of Milford,Wales,
40 tons burthen, and laden with salt, from Liverpool to Killi-
beggs, in the west of Ireland, was overtaken in the hurricane,
run into Portpatrick, and the crew, three in number, being
strangers, and panic-struck, deserted the vessel, in consequence
of which she was completely wrecked on an exposed breast-
work. The same day also, a small vessel riding in Lochryan,
which, from the direction of the wind, was not nearly so much
exposed, was driven ashore from her moorings near the Cairn.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of Grain and Flour, both last week and this morning,
have been moderate, partly occasioned by the boisterous state of the
wind. These was no:variation during the week, and this morning,
with a good attendance of buyers, the Wheat trade remains firm,
and the millers have taken off all the good samples, but speculators
are not disposed to give the present prices. The maltsterz have
purchased good Barley with freedom, but other sorts remain dull.
Beans have sold readily, partly to the regular buyers, and partly for
shipping. Pease of both kinds are unaltered in value, with a slack
demand The limited supply of Oats occasioned the factors to ask
higher prices, with which the buyers were not disposed to comply,
and such sales as were effected did not exceed last week's quotations.
The top price of Flour is unaltered, but ship parcels meet free sale
at the late advance.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET—Jan :10.
We bad a large supply of wheat from the farmers to.dny, with a
fair arrival coastways, and the sale was dull, at a reduction of full
Is. per quarter. Of Oats the supply was also large, with a good
demand, and the whole went off readily with little alteration in
value. Fine Barley in fair demand, at former prices, but the mid-
dling and inferior parcels are still neglected. Malt dull sale. The
quotations of Rye may be considered almost nominal. White
Pease may be noted Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. Beans and Grey
Pease as our last. Flour in fair demand.

"THE MONARCHY OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES."
—,. Mr. 13ulwer has caught something of the spirit of the
lively nation, whose habits and opinions he records, and
from whose history, whether by way of example or of warn-
ing, he has drawn many instructive lessons for his own
countrymen. The Monarchy of the Middle Classes' will
be extremely useful to all who really desirg Itti itnow the
French ; it will explain molly iloobtfol matters, correct
many mistaken opinions, and, while it illstructi people here
as to their neighbours on the other side of the Channel,
those neighbours themselves may gain many valuably 144

We understand that' itiovty-ovot plans for the
erection of the llow Houses of Parliament were submitted
the Commissioners appointed to report to the King Upon
the subject, Of these plans the Commissioners have se-
ill the ensuing week fir his approval. They have awarded
which are to be §ubmittpd ti.A his Majesty early,
lle,cstoeod/.fotour;he author of the best design, and they have given
a prize of 5001. each to the authors of the other three.
The CommlSsloOer4 wore authorised; under the terms of
the Commission, to give four prises of 5006, but we believe
that they have agreed only
as tO the ApprOpriation of three
of the 5001: Pfloti, and will probably leave the disposal of
the fourth to the judgment of his Majesty.

In " Ecclesiastisal Proceedings on the Continent," we
find a most admirable reply by the Geneva Pastors to
the letter of the General Assembly of the Church of
Scotland, in which the Assembly uncourteously, or
rather insultingly, rejected the invitation of the Geneva
Pastors, to send a deputation to celebrate with them

On Saturday, the 23d inst., we wee visited with a terrific
gale from S.W., veering about mid-day to W., by which ves-
sels in the Irish channel were particularly exposed; and, we
are sorry to say, considerable damage has been sustained by
the shipping interest. In the forenoon of the said day, the
brig, William Allen, of Belfast, John Digby, master, 165
tons burthen, laden with linen and provisions, from Belfast for
Kingston in Jamaica, made every effort to reach Portpatrick,
but the wind and tide proving unfavourable, she, while off the
old Castle of Dunskey, was compelled to put about, and run
ashore in Portospittal Bay, about two and a-half miles S. of
Portpatrick. The crew consisted of ten persons. Immedi-
ately on the vessel striking the ground, eight of these at-
tempted to reach the shore, six of whom, including the master,
were miraculously saved, but the other two, who were expert
swimmers were drowned. The vessel run ashore about mid-
