TIIE CROWN PRINCE OF SWEDEN.-

It t

afternoon of Friday, the Gth instant, his Royal Highness the I
CROWX PRINCE of SWEDEN (under the name ' of Count
ScifoN'EN) arrived safe at Hamburgh with his suite, on their
return to Stockholm. Similar honours were nid him as on
his first arrival here three or four months ago—that is, the corps
of Lancers received him on the frontier, and escorted him into
town, a salute of 21 guns being fired as he entered the gates.
The Senate bad given orders fora Guard of Honour to attend
' upon him at the hotel of the Swedish Ambassador (the Cheva-
lier Signeul's), but this his Royal Highness politely declined.
On the following day the Prince held a levee, which was at-
tended by the presiding Burgomaster' of the town, by the De-
puty and, several Members of the. Senate, the Foreign Ministers,
And the neighbouring Danish Authorities. In the evening his
Royal Highness was present at a musical party, at which were
collected all the distinction' and fashion of Hamburgh. The
following evening the theatre was the grand object of attraction,
the Prince having commanded the opera of The Village Barber,
by Rossini. The house, as might be expected, was an over-
flow. On the morning of the 9th, his Royal Highness and
suite quitted Hamburgh. Prior to his departure the Prince
presented the Deputy of the Senate with a gold sniff-box,
richly studded with diamonds, as a token that his Royal High-
ness had been highly pleased with the attentive and very re-
spectful manner of the authorities in that ancient city. The
Prince's arrival at Copenhagen was expected in the evening of
the 14th. There was to be a grand ball at Court, and other
festivities, in compliment to the Heir-apparent of Sweden.
All the way through the Danish territories, that is at Pinne-
berg, Rendsburg, Flinsburg, &c. the public authorities shewed
the most obliging and attentive respect to the illustrious tra-
veller. At Rendsburg Prince Frederick, the Governor, rode
out of the town four or five miles, accompanied by a numerous
Staff, and all the superior military officers of the garrison, to'
meet and gratulate his Royal Highness. He dined the same
day' (the 12th) with the Prince and Princess of Holstein-Beck
at the Castle of Gottorp, from whence he was escorted a long
way on the road by a troop of picked hussars. Every where,
in fact, his Royal Highness was received with loud hurrahs ;
and the roads at night time were lighted with lanterns by the
peasantry. i
__....—........--_.

.On Monday last the Common Council of
Newcastle-upon-Tune unanimously elected JonN CLAYTON,
Esq. Solicitor, to the office of Town-Clerk of that ancient Cor-
poration. They at the same time voted a piece of plate, of 100
guineas value, to be presented to NAT lIAICIEL CLAYTON, Esq.,
their late Town-Clerk, as a mark of the high sense they enter-
tain of his merits, during, the long period (b 7 years) that he has
acted for the Body-Corporate. The appointment of Mr. JOHN
CLAYTON has given great satisfaction to Newcastle generally,
as no one could enter upon the office with higher qualifications
to discharge the various important duties connected with it,
than the individual in question. As soon as the election was
known (about five o'clock in the afternoon), the bells of the
several churches struck up.a merry peal, and continued their
dulcet sounds, at intervals, till a late hour in the evening.-

Necklace, worth 10,000 dollars (nearly 2,0001.

POETRY.

TO SAMUEL ROGERS, ESQ.
BY JOFFN TAYLOR, ESQ. •
'Tis said,' frOm inuebrefining care,
Thy cautious Muse, too slow,
No dubious beauty deigns N, spare,
But damps the kindling glow:

Yet excellence by toil we gain,
Retouching o'er and o'er,
And Taste, with Judgment, should restrain
What vivid Fancy bore.

Then heed not, friend, such envious spleen;
But Nature still pursue; .
For where her nobler works are seen,
With gradual force they grew.

Igo ! from an Acoin's tiny size,
The Monarch Oak expands,
Exalts:his branches to the skies,
And firm for ages stands.

But Por•.sY, disdaining time,
With NATURE holds her sway ;
With her will soar to tracks sublime,,
With her alone decay.

While MEMORY* thee, her votive. Bird,
Shall fondly hover o'er,
With grateful zeal thy fame to guard,
" liumAN LIFE'S" no more.

" Human Life," by Mr. RoDElis.

THE PEDESTRIAN CHADIPION BEATEN.—On Thursday
last the match between Halton, the Champion of England, and
Harcourt and Dowson, to run two measured miles for one
hundred guineas aside, was decided over the comae upon
Langton Wold, near Mahon, in favour of the two men.—Har-
court started along with Halton to run the first mile, when
the latter made play, but could not shake off his opponent,
who was beaten only by two yards. As soon as Harcourt
had finished the first mile, Dowson started for the second, and
immediately passed Halton with great speed, took a decided
lead, and won the race easy, by about seventy yards. The first
mile was run in 4 minutes and 59 seconds, and Dowson ran the
second mile in 4 minutes and 54 seconds. Betting, sto 2 and
3tol. on Halton. This novel match excitedgreat interest, and
an immense concourse of people attended to witness the contest.

Gletiam-ple (or rather Edinample) Castle,
which it is said Kean is about to purchase, belongs to the Earl
of BreaAlalbane ; it is romantically situate on the south side of
Lochearn, and was the residence of his Lordship's brother,
the late Captain Colin Campbell. This castle at one time
belonged to a Chieftain of the Macgregors, and is likely
to have been the scene of deeds of feudal barbarity. It
is subsequently celebrated for having been the temporary
prison of the unhappy Lady Grange, in 1732, while on her
lonely journey to the island of Heskar. For a more particular
account of it, the curious reader is referred to the " Appendix
to Macleay's Historical Memoirs of Bob Roy, p. 342."—(Edin-
burgh Star.)
A requisition has been sent to the Mayor of
this town, requesting him to convene a town's
meeting, to consider of a Petition to Parliament
for an amendment or the repeal of the Insolvent
Debtors' &c.--(Shrewsbury Chronicle.)
