A NEW SH AVERI
OR, SECOND EXPERIMENT.

A Monkey—who shaving first tried on himself,
And cutting his jowl, the mischievous elf—
Resolv'd to embrace opportunity pat,
And operate next on the beard of the Cat

The place of a mirror adapted to suit,
There stood in the room then a high.polish'd Boot,
In which Warren's Jet, of pre.eminent hue,
I)isPlaY'd the fine forms of reflection to view.

Now seizing poor Puss, to the bright Boot he bore her,
The Monkey, her shadow then gleaming before her,
And answered her struggles with chatter aril blows,
Her phiz while he soap's from her ears to her nose.

The Cat, thus essaying in vain at resistance.
And mewing in pitiful plaint for assistance,
With wonder the same operation now saw
Performed in, or shewn by the Jet of eclat !
_ _

In front of the Boot, then, as if to explain it,
The method of shaving, how best to attain it.
The act interspersing with grin and grimace,
The Ape clear'd the Cat of each hair on her face !

And strange though it seems, yet the frolicsome elf
Was much more successful with Puss than himself;
The Shaver adroitly concluding his scraping,
The Shav'd with the loss of her whiskers escaping
. .

The Monkey, in triumph, the parlour now sought,
And Cat and bright Boot to a company brought,
Who saw what this barber had then been abut,
And hail'd his essay with a rapturous shout
Of mirthful surprise—the strange incident backing
The merits of Warren's unparalleled Blacking !
This Easy shining and Brilliant Blacking prep ired by ROBERT
WARREN, 3', Strand, London; and sold in every Town in the Unitcd
Kingdom.
Liquid, in Bottles, and Paste Blacking, in Pots, at 6d., lad., and Md. each.

" Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day,
we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other
frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums,
and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who
may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi-
nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important
warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and
we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with
much delicacy and moriaity.",-Inspector and Literary Review.

On Sunday evening, between 5 and 6 o'clock, the
following daring highway robbery was committed on the New
North-road, between West-end, Hampstead, and the branch
road leading to the Regent's park, by a gang of five fellows,
having the appearance of men engaged on the line of works
belonging to the London and Birmingham railroad. It ap-
pears that Mr. and Mrs. Entwistle, a lady and gentleman, re.
siding in Stamford-street, Waterloo-bridge, were returning
from Barnet in a gig, when they arrived at the above-men-
tioned place, about 150 yards from the railroad, they were
suddenly attacked by five remarkably powerful men. Two of
them seized the reins of the horse during the time the other
three demanded -their money and watches. Mr. Entwistle
finding it useless to offer the least resistance, surrendered his
purse containing four sovereigns and 6s. in silver, with which
immediately on their obtaining, they hastened across the fields
to the direction of Kilburn, with all possible despatch. Mr.
Entwistle fortunately saved his valuable gold watch and ap-
pendages, as also did Mrs. Entwistle her chain, which the
robbers had demanded, but the rapid approach of a carriage
caused them to make a speedy retreat. None of them appeared
to be armed, or did they offer the slightest violence. They
were all similarly attired, viz., in short white smock-frocks,
velveteen trousers, and ancle-boots, having the appearance of
excavators. They are supposed to be the same gang of rob-
bers that have recently committed several depredations in the
vicinity of the railroad and Regent's-park.

RELIGIOUS DESTITUTION IN ORKNEY.-011
the evening of Sabbath last, a sermon was preached in Wal•
lacetown church, by the Rev. Mr. Petrie, of Kirkwall and
St. Ola, in Orkney, and a collection, amounting to 61. 123. 3d.
made in aid of the fund now raising for the erection of an ad-
ditional 'church in that distant parish. It must be gratifying to
every lover of the church of his fathers to see that so much has
already been done, and is still doing, towards meeting the
spiritual wants of the population in all quarters of the country ;
and, were this spirit of exertion and improvement kept up for
ten years more, it would go far to supply the deficiency so
much experienced at the present day. Some interesting re-
marks were made by the Rev. Gentleman at the closo of his
discourse. He stated that the Cathedral of St. Magnus,
which is the place of worship for the parish, was built in the
eleventh century, but so narrow, incommodious, and damp,
and having only 702 available sittings, that it is quite incon-
venient and insufficient for the accommodation of the parish,
the population of which is estimated at about four thousand
souls. The parishioners are extremely anxious to obtain a
proper place of worship, and have contributed according to
their circumstances, but, being chiefly of the poorer classes,
comparatively little has been obtained. The Rev. Gentleman
mentioned a case which showed their willingness to contribute
more largely, were it in their power to do so. One poor man
put down his name for a guinea, saying, " Silver and gold
have I none, but my hands are at your service, they will be
equivalen'. to the sum I have subscribed." The erection of
the proposed church, it is supposed, will cost 1,500/., of which
3101. has been obtained. We understand that several sums
have been subscribed in Ayr by private individuals, and that
subscription papers still lie with some gentlemen in the town.

AURORA BOREALIS.—Last night, between nine
and ten, these splendid northern visitors were particularly bril-
liant over this city. They sprung from the north-west quar-
ter of the hemisphere, and shot up in lengthened flickering
corruscations, succeeding each other almost with the rapidity
of lightning. But there was one peculiarity in the appearance
that we never observed before ; the bank of cloud from which
they shot out was of a darkish red colour, which gave the
whole the likeness of a large fire, with the bright flame ever
and anon flashing from it. The night was particularly bright,
otherwise the northern lights would have been seen even to
greater advantage, as the moon was shining clearly in the
opposite quarter of the sky, and it being very frosty, the stars
all adding their light to the general illumination.— Caledo-
