POETRY.

LINES,
On a Window in Yirrh Theatre, en the °lase of which it is
customary for the Po:formers to record their Names.
.rh
rc rich. man's name cmbellish'd stands on brass,
The Player simply scribbles his on glass;
Appropriate tablet to his wayward fate—
A brittle, shining, evanescent state;
The fragile glass destroo—farewell the name!
The actor's gbiss consum'd—farewell his fame!

WOMAN.
Is there a heart that sever lov'd,
Nur felt.seft wom►►n's sigh'
Is there a man can mark, unmov'd,
Dear Woman's tearful eye ?
Oh! bear bin► to so►se,distant shore
Or solitary cell,
Where nought but f.wisf,e monsters roar,
Where love ne'er deikn'd to d►cell. •

Fur there's a charm in Wornan'i eye,
A knguage in nei• tear,
A spell in ev'ry Sacred sigh,
To man, to virtue, dear;
Anil he who eau resist her smiles,
With brutes alone should live;
Nortaste that joy which care beguiles—
That joy her virtue give 4.

Yesterday Visconnt CASTLEREAGH, atter trans-
acting hus:ttess at his Otfice, and the Treasury,
set till for his seat at North Cray, Kent.
On Thursday, the Cabinet Ministers bad a
meeting from two o'clock till past four.'
Louis XVIII. is at present on a visit to the
Duchess D'ANaouLmstrs, at Cheltenham, where
that rrincess is trying the efficacy of the Old Spa
and salubrious air-to restore her to perfect health.

Mr. GBRENivooD gave a grand dinner on Thurs-
day, at his house in Brampton Park, to the Duke
of Ironic, Earl of LIVISRPOOL, Lo:'d ALVANMY,
and a select party.
Hampton Court, we hear, from experienced
amateurs of,the turf, presents for the breed of
race horses accommodations which no other part
of the kingdom can boast of ; and hence it ap-
pears that it is the Pattie c Ils.oiiNT's intention to
augment and improve his stud of racers.
yesterday, about two o'clock, it very mclan-
eboy accident happened on the Harrow Road, a
little to the eastward of Paddington Green.---Two
fellows, driving milk carts, attempted to pass each
other, and while driving at a furious rate, one of
them threw down a fine girl, about rdne years of
age, when one of the wheels wept over her neck,
and killed heron the spot. One of the men is in
custody. Surely 'it is tinm that sotue•-steps were
taken to check such watnon barbarity.

GcNiCiiiik,---.--The lamented death of sir
fIENRY VANi TEMPEST', Bart. having created ,a
vacancy in 010 Repi,.ts:lttation of your County, I
am induced to entreat %oti, for the preSent, not to
proini4e our Votes.id any One, ai Grutlentan: in
cvery.respect. qualified, intends Ahorily to solicit
your suffrages, 16 sncceetl yOnf late cctillent
Meaaber, whose, conduet in Parliament I had op-
portunities 4 without interiniasion, to witness, ever
since you so nobly, independently, and trium-
phantly elected him in 1807, and it hilly justified
your choice,' If any action of Sit HENRY AT.
ll'Emlitsr's more than an another entitled him to
your esteem. and gratiteule for the services which
he rendered pin, it was his conduct on the Catho-
lic Question, especially on the division, when the
Protestant Interest threw out Mr. GRA'tI7AWS. Bill.

The peculiar situation of the Counties of Dnr-
ham and Northumberland, as to their respective
representations; demands from you the greatest
consideration and Yoqr preSena
noble Representative, notwithstanding so short a
period has elapsed since the County addressed the
Sovereign against tilt:Catholic demands, voted, it'
is understood, for them—so did the New Mem-
ber -for Northumberland 'the Old Manlier
for that county forbearing for the first time to
vote on that important question, for reasons
which be will, of course, eXplain at the next Ge-
neral Election ; he cannot, however, say,' he was
not asked to vote alum it, consistently with his
former conduct.' 'fhe sentiments of
,the Members
for. Newcastle and of Mr. LAMBTON, one of the
Members for Durham City, are also known not to
he adverse to these demands ; and it is, I believe,
correct; that some 'of them voted for them. It is
known, that Mr. MATTHEW RUSSELL, Who 110 W
represents that City, also voted for the, Popery
Bill. Under these circumstances, .1 fervently hope
the indepencient rieeholders' of Durham (I address
myself particularly to those who, having united
with the Church, rescued, in 1790, the County
from the dominion under which it bad so 'long,'
groaned), will exert themselves on the present oc-
casion, and take care to 'select, at this critical
juncture for the county; as well as for the Empire,
a person to represent them ill Parliament who
will not be ashamed, in these days, of refinement,
to 'support and maintain " iliegood old Whig Prin-
ciples" ‘vhich,led to the RevOlution in 1688, and
established a Protestant Family on the Throne of
these' Realms; Every, day's experience adduces
further proof, tliatthe principles and practice of
the Papists are the same now as formerly ; in-
deed, they' take pretty good care that we should
not be ignorant of it ; and it is evident, that if
they were again to' be' adinitt,d into power—the
enjoyment of civil and religious liberty would
cense, and in vain should we look, even' for the
shadow of the toleiation which they themseves
now, enjoy. Let me refer you to the conduct of
the Irish Papists and Priests during the laSt Gene.-
ral Election, especially at Cork -do not want
'you to imitate their example--.--but only .to bear
In Mind, thai it may occasionally, and under pe-
culiar eircnnistances, be mn and not ouwisie
.to act upon the old and prudent axiom-- '

Fas est et ab hoste do,t.eri

Every degree of vigilance -should be used to
maintain the I?u if the Cowity it
should be now lost, it may be long before it can
ever be regained. Various rumours are afloat—
amongst them, it is said, that a Coalition, aye ! as
monstrous as that betl.een Lord GRENVILLE and
Mr. Vox, or between the latter and Lord NORTH,
is about to take place between the Houses of
ltAt3Y and. LANIBTON. Surely it cannot be.true.---
It is to be hoped the reocillection of former days.—
of former principles, and of former connections,
1011 induce the Noble Earl to refrain from an Union,
which cannot fail .to entail on bhu end his illns-
Arious House obloquy and disgrace, and annihilate
the influence which he has now in the County.
