bridge, in New Gravel-lane. It appears that she was in a
state of intoxication at the time, and had been quarrelling
with some of her companions. About two hours afterwards,
another female, of the class called unfortunstel named Mary
Ann Richards, who has hlte4y tlilreeea a month's imprison-
ment, atteeTtetl. commit suicide at the same spot, but she
fell into the recess in which the bridge revolves, where the
water is only one foot in depth, and was got out alive. The
irst thing she did on her recovery was to make a desperate
attack on a young man who had saved her, and blackened his
eyes. She was yesterday brought before Mr. Ballantine, who,
in default of ball, committed her to prison.
MOST AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH-.
_ _

—On Monday evening-, the 4th, instant, about half-past nine
o'clock, Mr. John Haynes, a highly respectable inhobitant of
the parish of Paddington, having rettirml from fulfilling his
duties at the Savings Bank to which he was attached, to his
residence in the Edgeware-road, went, as was his custom, to
the House of Mr. Charles Smith, the Hero of Maida Tavern,
Maida-hill, where a company of gentlemen are in the nightly
habit of assembling, when, no sooner had he seated himself and
taken up the paper, than he fell from his chair on the floor.
Medical assistance was immediately procured, and the most
anxious solicitude evinced by the proprietor of the house and
the gentlemen present, but all in vain, as he was found to be
a lifeless corpse.
MILTON AND THE EARLY ROMANCE WRITERS.
—" Next," says Milton (in the Apology for his Early Life
and Writings), " for hear me out now, readers, that I may tell
ye whither my younger feet wandered, I betook me among
those lofty fables and romances, which recount in solemn can-
tos the deeds of Knighthood, founded by our victorious Kings,
and from hence had renown all over Christendom. There I
read it in the oath of every Knight that he should defend to
the expense of his best blood, or of his life, if it so befel him,
the honour and chastity of virgin or matron ; from whence even
then I learned what a noble virtue chastity sure must be, to
the defence of which so many worthies, by such a dear adven-
ture of themselves, had sworn. And if I found in the story
afterward, any of them, by word or deed, breaking that oath,
I judged it the same fault of the poet, as that which is attri-
buted to Homer, to have written indecent things of the Gods.
Only this my mind gave me, that every free and gentle spirit,
without that oath, ought to be born a Knight, nor needed to
expect the gilt spur, or the laying of a sword upon his shoul-
der, to stir him up, both by his counsel and his arms, to secure
and protect the weakness of any attempted chastity. So that
even these books, which to many others have been the fuel of
wantonness and loose living, I cannot think how, unless by Di-
vine indulgence, proved to me s) many incitements, as you
have heard, to the love and steadfast observation of that virtue
which abhors the society of bordelloes."—Seleet Prose Works
of Milton. _

No man who has lived among the peasantry of
Scotland will deny the effects produced on them by their po-
pular songs. During the expedition to Buenos Ayres, a
Highland soldier, while a prisoner in the hands of the Spa-
niards, having formed an attachment to a woman of the
country, and charmed by the easy life which the tropical fer-
tility of the soil enabled the inhabitants to lead, had resolved
to remain and settle in South America. When he imparted
this res6lution to his comrade, the latter did not argue with
him, but, leading him to his tent, he placed him by his side,
and sang him " Lochaber no more." The spell was on him
The tears came into his eyes, and wrapping his plaid around
him, he murmured, " Lochaber nae mair ! I maun gang
back ; Na !" The songs of his childhood were ringing in his
ears, and he left that land of ease and plenty for the naked
rocks and sterile valleys of Badenoch, where, at the close of
a life of toil and hardship, he might lay his head in his mo-
ther's grave.—Monthly Repository.
NEWS !—BAGPIPES T.—Our readers will be both
grieved and surprised to learn that " in Canada, in Jamaica,
in Demerara, in the Mauritius, at the Cape of Good Hope,
in Newfoundland, and in New South Wales, the whole
frame-work of society is in a state of lamentable disorgani-
zation." Thus saith the Standard of Liverpool. All the
favourable accounts we have from time to time received re-
lative to the flourishing condition of our colonial possessions
are, we suppose, official fabrications. The same Journalist
who has made the wonderful discovery relative to the social
disorganization of the colonists, has contrived to get a peep
into Lord Glenelg's bed-room, where he found his Lordship
in bed and playing the bagpipes. We give this morceau
in the words of our truly extraordinary contemporary, who,
it will be observed, is exceedingly wrath :—" The Noble
Secretary of the Colonies (he exclaims) has been accused of
indolent and drowsy habits, which have interfered with the
proper discharge of his duties during a rather long and use-
less official life ; but if ever he was under the influence of
opium or laziness, or any other incentive of sleep, it is at
the present moment. Nero fiddled when Rome was burning.
Lord Glenelg is playing upon his highland bagpipes, in bed,
when our colonial empire is going headlong to destruction."
IMPERIAL MEASURE.—AS we arc subject to a
penalty of 5/. if we report any sales of wheat, barley, oats, &c.,
other than by the imperial measure, our correspondents are
requested in future to bear this in mind; and we advise our
agricultural friends to at once conform to the law, as they are
also subject to a penalty of 40s. if they sell by any other mea-
sure than the imperial. Until they comply with the provisions
of the Act we cannot report the prices of grain, &c., sold in
the markets of this county.—Falmouth Packet.
Another memorable Tercentenary occurs this year ;
for it was in the year 1536 that the Bible was commanded to
be placed, on or before the Ist of August, in the churches,
for public perusal. Bishop Bonner accordingly chained six
copies in the cathedral church of St. Paul for that purpose.
Within almost a stone's throw of that edifice, there issued last
year 653,604 copies of the Scriptures from the warehouses of
the Bible Society, carrying its total issues Iryond nine mil-
lions of copies. It ordered in one day last year 365,000
copies ; equal to a thousand every day, Sundays included, for
a whole year. Its receipts, which it was confidently predicted
would soon crumble away, reached the unprecedented sum of
107,9261. Nor were other kindred institutions less successful.
The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, besides its
other objects, issued last year no less than 173,000 copies of
the Sacred Word.—From the Christian Observer.
THE GOLDEN AGE OF ENGLISH POETRY.—
The age of Pope Wt. 3 the golden age of poets,—but it was the
pinchbeck age c' poetry. They flourished in the sunshine of
public and pri-. att. patronage ; the art meantime was debased,
and it continued to be so as long as Pope continued lord
of the ascendant. More injury was not done to the taste of
his countrymen by Marino in Italy, nor by Gongora in Spain,
than by Pope in England. The mischief was effected, not by
his satirical and moral pieces, for these entitle him to the
highest place among poets of his class ; it was by his Homer.
There have been other versions as unfaithful ; but none were
ever so well executed in as bad a style ; and no other work in
the language so greatly vitiated the diction of English poetry.
Common readers (and the majority must always be such) will
always be taken by glittering faults, as larks are caught by bits
of looking-glass ; and in this meretricious translation, the pas-
sages that were most unlike the original, which were most un-
true to nature, and therefore most false in taste, were pre_
cisely those which were most applauded, and on which critic
after critic dwelt with one cuckoo note of admiration. They
who found nothing imitable in Dryden, could imitate this.
The art of poetry, or rather the art of versification, which wa
now the same thing, was made easy to the meanest capacity.'.A
—Southey's _Life of Cozener.
The emigration from the Clyde to America is pro-
ceeding very slowly this season. Scarcely any other indivi-
duals are venturing across the Atlantic in 4uest of fortune, or
in hopes of bettering their condition, except masons and house-
carpenters, who are allured thither by the expectation of get-
ting high wages in the rebuilding of stores and houses de-
strayed by the late fire in New York.
A JUDGMENT.—On Thursday week as Jane the
wife of Henry Spooner, of Ratcliffe upon Trent, was con-
versing with one of her neighbours in her own house, when the
neighbour told her of its being reported that she was inconti-
nent, she uttered various imprecations, and wished she might
drop down dead if the report was correct, when awful to re-
late, she had scarcely spoken the words before she fell from
the chair, and remained speechless until the following day.
Medical aid was called in, and she is now something better,
and it is thought likely to recover.—Lincoln Gazette.
Sir William Ingilby arrived in Lincoln on Satur-
day last—be took his departure for Ripley Castle on Monday.
We are happy to say the Honourable Bart. is looking well ;
though at the same time we regret to announce that his amiable
lady remains seriously indisposed at Frankfort, where Sir Wil-
liam will join her as soon as he can settle some private affairs.
Sir William has addressed the electors of Lindsey.—Lincoln
Gazette. —[The Address alluded to concludes thus :—" The
Government, as you see, appears to be going on steadily in
that great work of reform in which, through one of your mem-
bers, you are assisting ; and although in losing me you have
lost another vote, it appears that you have not any very deter-
mined opposition on the part of my successor. Under these
circumstances, therefore, and the painful necessity there is for
my being back at Frankfort with as little delay as possible, I
trust you will see that I am right in not publicly appearing
throughout the Division, and it will prove to you that had it
been necessary I was in the country, ready to keep my word,
and once more ready to fight with you for the representation
of one seat for Lindsey."]

ADVICE TO LADIES.--A French poet, in the reign
of Charles V., advises the ladies of that day " to walk in an
orderly manner, and not to run and jump in the streets ; not to
laugh in church time ; and those of them who can read, to take
their books ; to be neat in their persons, and keep their nails
cut ; and, when walking out, not to look in at people's win-
dows, and not bounce into the rooms of their friends, &c. ;
and on no account to steal and tell lies."

THE BLANKET TRADE.—A meeting of the
blanket raisers at Earlsheaton and the neighbourhood was held
at the Spangled Bull Inn, in EarlsEenton, on Wednesday, the
93d ult., to consider the propriety of making an advance in the
workmen's wages. After some discussion, it was agreed that
all goods should be advanced at the rate of a halfpenny per
score. A meeting of the blanket manufacturers was also held
yesterday week, at the house of Mr. Titus Parker, the Wel-
lington Tavern, Dewsbury, on the same subject. It is to be
hoped that the arrangement then made will prove satisfactory
to all parties.—Leeds Mercury.
The King having been informed that the celebrated
painter Gudin, from infirmities that deprived him of the use of
his limbs, was unable to visit the exhibition at the Louvre on
account of the crowd, sent to inform him that he would him-
self receive him in the gallery on Monday, when no one is
admitted. His Majesty accord►ngly sent one of the Royal
carriages, which conveyed M. Gudin from his own house to
the door of the Louvre, where an arm-chair on castors was
ready to receive him, in -which he was carried up-stairs. The
King was ready to receive him, and the chdr was rolled to all
the remarkable objects in the exhibition, his Majesty accom-
panying him all the while.—Galignani's Messenger.
