POETRY.

• • ON THURSDAY'S DEI.VI'E.
What British heurt on that auspicious night
Could fail to throb with ardour and delight,
When party 'real, the country's worst annoy,
Snnk iu the generous tide of patriot joy,
When WELLtait.iY spoke in candour's manly tone,
(Gieat in his brother's glories and his own)
When GIIENVILLS,riciOu words, as strong in thought,
Reviving all immortal PITT had taught,
Rniedhigh his lofty vOiee in Europe's cause,
And eves sulky WHITBREAD growi'd applause.

ON THE MARRIAGE OF A LADY .WITH HER

FOOTMAN.

If Miatress and Servant united must be,

'Tis hard to determine whole passion is Stronger :
a►%e point the Lady :►t►d FoOttnan agree,
'l'l►ey both are rec4iv'd not t.o.italt any long&

The illarquis of Wmcnevrtta has been pleased
to appoint the Rev. OHORGE CHAPNI AN, A. M. vicar
of Miteheldor, Hants, to be one of his Lordship'*
Chaplains.

Mr. ACKERMANN'S Transparaucy exhibited, last
night, claims higher praise-worthy for otiginality,
whim, and humour, than probably occurred to the
inventor. The . two Tyrants, viz, the Tyrant
BUONAPARTE and the Tyrant Death, setting tuge.
they in a manner which promises a more perfect
intimacy immediately to ensue, is very entertain-
ing. It is also' instructing to observe, that time
former is now placed in a situation in which ell
Europe may see through him. The emblvio too of
the :circle of dazzling light troth mere vapour,
which is so soon.
.extinguished, has a good moral
effect; and as the gas represent- the dying flame,
so does the drum, on whielidte is seated, typify
the hollow and noisy nature of the falling Usurper.
The prevailing motto in the Illuminations last
night, was Leipsick, spelled .i.itso incorrectly by
some Lipsick. A Cockney, asking the meaning of
v
the word, as answered by a friend, "It Meuns
that BUONAPARTF, is chop-fdlien." •

LOUP NELSON:.S AWN.t.IALF,,N7I::

The Monument- erected to the memory of the
illitstriou liero.Nrt.Scii,t; in the area 'of the Ex
change Buildings, Liverpool, was opened to-the
Publ;C on the 21st ult. the -anniVetsary of the
. glorious victory at Trafalgar.
On a ba,:ienient of Westmorland marble stands
a eirettlartedestal of the same materal; and pe-
culiarly snitahle In.colour to the groupes which it
supports. At the base of the pedestal are four
emblematie figures, Of heroic size, iti the chit-
° racter of captives, or vanquished enemies ;
to the fOur victories obtained by
Lord Nr.L50...,:, viz. those Of • St. Vincent, the
? COpcnoag, en , iuid of Trafalgar.. The spaces
between thet? figures, oil the sides of the pe-
destal, are by lour grand bas-reliefs, exe-
, cnted in bronze, representik; some of, the great
naval actions in which the immortal NELSON was
engaged. The rest of the pedestal is richly deeo-
rated with lions' heat 4, and festoons of laurel ;
• and, in -a moulding round the upper part of it, is
inscribed in let t.!rs; of brass,pursnant to the reso-
lution of the general meeting; that most impres-

The figures constituting thepri ncipal design arc
'Nelson, Victory, and Death ; his country Mourn
ing for her loss, and her navy eager to avenge it,
naturally claim a place in the groupe.
The 'principal figure is the Admiral, resting ope
foot on a conquered enemy, and the other op a

receiving from her a fourth naval

• By the figure of an exasperated' British seaman,
is represented the zeal of the navy to wreak ven-
geance on the enemies who robbed it of its most
gallant' Leader.
Britannia, with laurel in her hand, and lean-
ing regardless of them on hair spear and shield,
describes the feelings of the country flitetuating
between the pride and thp anguish of a fritin ph
so dearly purchased, hut relying or security on
her own resources.
In preferring an historical groupe to a naval
, colutnn, or a single statue, and in selecting the
snbjeet above described from a Considerable num-
ber' of designs of great 'excellenCC, it was. one
principal aim of the Committee to erect such a
Inonnment as should not only do honour to the
stOWn of Liverpool, as an effort of art, hut should
excite in the breast of 'spectator those feelings,
moral and Iratriotic, whicb-a -work of the highest
class ought always to inspire. They therefore
adopted that which- appeared to them hest calcu-
"fated to exhibit in the strongest manner, the glory
mut hsppitiess of the hero who dies in the defence
of his ("palmy and who, in the act of grasping
at antAlier Crown, which the cicaldeo of Viotory
is placitc on his Iwgett, is insensible to the stroke
which tcrocootts flis glorious career. At the same
time it WAS their lt ISII to contrast the exultation
inseparable 11.01w:inch an event, with the sincere
sorrow and deep regret occasioned by the death
of this aitinguislu Commander, and to impress
upon the mind's. of the present, and of future
ages, a firm' conviction, that life itself cannot be
better resigned than in the cause of our country.
