POETRY.

STANZAS.
My heart like a ruin is mould'ring away,
With its feelings laid waste, and its hopes in decay ;
Love once shed its rays o'er the desolate pile,
And it hask'd too in friendship's calm moon light awhile;
But dim are their beams, 'midst the gloom and' despair,
Oh ! who would believe light had ever been there !

White a spot uncorroded by grief could be found,

hope linger'd anti stray'd, 'midst the fragments around,
But when each crumbling stone had her footsteps betray'd,.
She fled from the havoc that sorrow had made ;

Quench 'd her torch, and left only wild Memory's glare,
To tell my chang'd heart that light once had been there.
GERTRUDE.

KING WILLIAM LANDED.—The Revolution of
1688, when the Throne of England became vest-
ed in the House of Orange, is kept on this day,
although William landed on the fifth of Novem-
ber, as is specified in the prayers of the Church
in the Service of Gun Powder Plot.. Burnet re-
hr tes, " The fleet left Holland on the first of
:,;ovember, and on the third we passed between
Dover and Calais, and before night saw the isle
of Wight. The next day, the fourth, being the
day on which the Prince was both born and mar-
ried, he fancied if he• could land that day, it
would look auspicious to the army, and animate
the soldiers ; but others, who considered the day
following was Gunpowder Treason Day, thought
our landing that day might have a good effect on
the English nation ; and Divine Providence so
ordered it, that after all hope of our landing at
Torbay was given up, and Russell bid me go to
my prayers, for all was lost, the wind suddenly
shifted and carried us into the de3ired haven.
Here the Prince Marshal Schoenberg and the foot
soldiers landed on November the sth. I never
found a disposition to superstition in my temper,.
yet I must confess this strange ordering of the
winds and seasons just to change as our affairs
required it, could not but make deep impressions
on me." King William was born November 4,
1650, married November 4, 1677, and died
March 8, 1702, having reigned 13 years and 23
days.

The GENOESE having taken Pisa, imposed upon
the inhabitants of that city, the singular and ty,
rannical condition, that they should pull down
the upper part of their houses as low as the first
floor,

There were, and may now he, in AmmoN,
seven parishes, seven gates, seven palaces, seven
collegiate churches, seven hospitals, seven con.
vents, and seven nunneries,

PAVING STREETS.—Before the practice of PAV-
ING streets was introduced, the Courtiers of the
Elector of Brandenburg, were compelled to em-
ploy stilts, after wet weather, in order to pass
through the mud to the palace of Potsdam.
The present INHABITANTS of most of the
GREEK ISLANDS present more or less a faithful
portraiture of the manners and customs of their
progemitors. The ceremonies of ancient Greece
have not been swept away by the revolutions of
the country; even the representations of the
theatre, the favourite exhibitions of the Attic
drama, are yet beheld, as they existed among the
people before they were removed from the scenes
of common life, to become the ornaments of the
Grecian stage.

PHRENOLOGY.—There was a meeting of the
Society for the Propagation of Phrenology last
night, at the Crown and Anchor. A Scotch
Doctor, who List season, by a long recital of a
case, involved the whole company in a comfort-
able nap, from which even the Father of Phre-
nology, Dr. SPURSLEIM, who was present, was
not exempt, last night administered a similar
dose with equal success. The case alluded
to, as reported last season, was that of a
young lady who was troubled with visions
and fits in a morning, and it was a clear case
of inebriety to all but the Reporter. In the
course of the Meeting last night, a Plaster of Pa-
ris Image-maker addressed the Company, and in-
formed them that he had a collection of 900
skulk, which had much improved his knowledge
of the science ! Some sagacious observations
upon Bumps were introduced, but it was ob-
served ti►at the only bumps that struck the com-
pany were those that the more vigilant visitors
kindly gave to their neighbours at different periods
to keep each other awake. This expedient, how.
ever, failed in the end, as the waiter, on entering
the room, found the whole company, with the
exception of some nasal sottnds, quietly► reposing
its the arms of SO)hINIJ.

MERCANTILE SHIPPING..

The following accounts of the heavy gale of
yesterday was this morning received at Lloyd's:—

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK,

'DEAL, Nov. 3._a bout day-light this morning, blowing a.
violent gale from about W.S.NK., a ship, (apparently about
400 tons), with a poop and figure head, painted yellow sides,
and ports, was observed under her topsails, in a direction to-
wards the South Sand Head, standing in on the larboard tack,
almost immaliately afterwards (6 A. N.,) she struck on the
Goodwin, with a tremendous sea going over her, the masts
. soon tell, and the crew assembled on the poop, from which
every succeeding sea lessened their numbers. Seven Deal boats,
went out to. their assistance, but such was the violence of the
wind and sea, that none of them could get near enough even
to obtain her name;. the whole of the crew and all on
board perished ; she was under English colours, having,
when she first struck, hoisted her ensign Union downwards;
the ship broke up entirely about noon, and disappeared.—
A ship of about 400. tans drove out of the Downs .at 11 A. M.,
with signal of distress, and proceeded towards Margate Roads.
Five P. 3l.—The gale has moderated, but in squalls it still
blows hard, wind about W.S.W. Several of the outwarti.bound
are riding with two anchors a-head.—Arrived and remain the.
Albion; Radcliff, and the Arab, from Smyrna; Ceres, Doun,.
from Quebec, and Hope of Bristol, from Naples ; put back the
Llan Romney, Turner, and Express, for:Jamaica.
HARWICH, Nov. a.—lt blew a storm of wind the whole of

collier, was seen in the early part of the day on shore on the
%Vest Rocks, with a signal of distress, The life-boat went aff
about noon, and has just returned ;, the crew hacll,eft the vessel,. '
and she will became a total wreck this flood.
Potursstotrrn, Nov, 3.--W. to W.N.W.—No arrivals.
or sailings. It came on to blow a heavy gale last night about
10 o'clock from W. to W.N.W., and continued till three P.M..
At twelve the brig Mina, John, Master, of Hamburgli, bound.
to Rio Janeiro, drove foul of the Chatlea Brook, Bell, for Sr. '
Vincent's, lying at the Motherbank, by which she lost her.
main mast by the board, channels, bulwarks, rails, &c., two,
anchors and cahels, and received other damage; she has now
come into the Harbour Channel and is riding ofF the Sally Port, •
having been supplied with an anchor and cable. The Charles.
Brook's foreyard is sprung, catwater and bow injured ;• she con-,
tinues at the Motherbank. Some of the outward-bound drove
a short distance and brought up again, and in the whole, in
the different roadsteads, with the above exception, appear to
have rode the gale out safely.—Seven less wind, but every
appearance of a boisterous night.
FALMOUTH, Nov. 2.—W.N.W. to W.S.W.—Arrived the
Duke of Marlborough packet, from Lisbon, in eight days. og.
the port the Hebei Haviside, groin Buenos Ayres ; sailed the

a large brig was seen on the outside of Corton Sand ; boats from.
Lowestotre and Gorlstone went ofF to her, and about one o'clock
she came off the sand, and is drilling out to sea ; she is said to,
have lost her rudder, and to be deal laden o'clock, p, m. it
still blows hard from W.S.V.
LowEsroFFE, Nov. 3.—Wind W.S W. blowing very,
hard.—This morning, about four o'clock, the Francis Ann of
London, Geo. Shipley, master, from Dantzic for London, got
ashore on Corton Sand in a heavy gale, and finding no
hood of her continuance, were compelled to quit the vessel
with a narrow escape of their lives: she has floated off since,
but little probability of much being got from her,

The Harriet, Fulcher, from Sincapore, lost both her. anchors,
and cables in the Downs yesterday, and was blown out. She
is 110V1 getting supplied with others from Broadetairs.
The John, Young, from Miramichi for Shields, was lost on

LLOYp's, 11 o'Clock, A.m., Nov. 4.—The name of the yes.
sel wrecked on the Goodwin Sands is not yet perfectly ascer.
tained. One or two names have been mentioned, but as the
whole of the crew have perished, it would be improper to state.
any name except on the hest authority ; but she certainly ap-.
pears to be for Douthay. Several bales of cotton have been,
pieltod up, and landed at Broadstairs, marked G G 4 Co. (E
