Ind row the Senate's butry toil Is o'er, -
And England's Monarch gone to Scotia's shore, • --
OLLlsandon's quitted by each belle and beau,
Since Fsantosi to some wat'ring place must O.
But, 'tis not all who leave this haunt of care
• For fashion's sake, and all that's new or rare. . .
No; there are None who love a quiet life,
Who pleasures find at home, and free front strife;
Who in retirement seek awhile to stay, • -
Where there alone tree joys their toils repay. .
For there each gen'rous sentiment is found,
And virtues Unalloy'd, alone, abound.
• 'Tis there the Arts are•reaed, and form the mind, •
With tature, genius, taste, and truth combined.
'Tis there the valley and the mountain yield
The Muses theme, like gardens or the field :
The forest in luxuriant wildness •
Unheeded:growing ; or Spring's sweet mildness,
Seen, like giist'ning dust in show'rs descending, •
Such rich scenes as these, and never ending : •
The confin'd landscape, or the barren plain,
A village spire, or rocks, or. boundless main ;
A graceful vessel gliding on the acs,
Or rais'd to heav'n by storms appears to be.
Thus Nature in perfection can be seen
At morning, or when sunset gilds the scene—
Pleasure from mental observation flows ;
7't is in retirement health alone bestows.
Feelings like these lead E' to the shore
On HASTINGS' coast, where tumult's heard no more ;
Save when the sweeping blast and tempest urge
The ocean to its sands in foaming surge ;
Then is the rearing heard along that coast,
Which lives so fam'd for Norman Conq'ror's boast.
THE CROFT then yields the bold and awful scene;
At other times, the heavenly serene.
'Tis there she's gone to sketch each pleasing visw,
Not vainly seeking joys for ever new. •
The painted ceiling of ST. CLEMENT'S fane,
And ALL-SAINTS fam'd for canopy o'er ANNE.
Are there the curious stranger's frequent sight,
And views from CASTLE-HILL their great delight.
And should some Don, as Syntax rov'd of old, -
Chance to come here, he'll surely then be told,
When Superstition reign'd in days of yore,
And witchcraft sprung from legendary lore,
A PRIORY, they say, of CANONS stood
• Not hence far distant, in a neighb'ring wood.
But both our admiration and our awe,
BOHEmin claims; for there in former war
Was WILLY'S dinner table, so 'tis said,
'En: to the field his troops th' Intruder led.
But RtILVERHYTHE and BEXHILL next must come,
And Church of HOLLINGTON, if there you'll roam ; •
For centred in a wood that temple stands,
Which adds a beauty to th' adjacent lands.
If further wand'ring yet awhile you'll stray,
A fall of water will arrest your way ;
The OLD ROAR rushing down full fifty feet,
And near, a wild romantic resting seat.
Nor HMI •riIE GOWERS pass unnodc'd by,
For here is that which claims our sympathy.
'Tis here the cottage stands, so oft admir'd,
Where fearless seamen sleep, in storms, retied.
When billows join impetuously fast,
As tho' they bare the Demon of the Blast,
Black'ning now, then widening in their rage,
Which merchant's bribe could never yet asswage,
And gath'ring fiercer as they nearer roll,
In look enough to shake the common soul,
Thus with their dearning roar still on they come,
Then frantic, heaving burst against " this home !"
But onward, hast'ning higher, we must go,
And survey from THE SEAT the woods below :
Then further stretch the eye, from dizzy height,
O'er ocean's houndlees space, till lost to sight.
'Tis here we'll sit and rest in Isov'Eßs Seat,
Till satisfied, we seek sonic cool retreat.
That shady refuge which THE roNns afFord,
With fish, they say, of ev'ry kind well stor'd.
Or, nigh THE DRIPPING WELLS we'll seek the shade,
For surely were these haunts fir lovers made.
Here will 1 now resign my random pen,
Wearying you and worn itself; but then
I thought of telling how the fairies strove
To weave for E"* sylvan wreaths of levee
How the cool grot was deck'd by hands unseen,
And rustic bowers rose to grace the scene ;
How music stole on me, then died away ;
'What hearts were lost or won or sent astray ;
• These and suchlike, in way of wildish tone,
But--- gay Aurora says, ceass—ohush—be done.
The night of the 13th of August. * s •

ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE Or YoaK.—Colonel
THORNTON, the Adjutant-Gerreral of Ireland,
arrived in town on Wednesday, with the melan-
Choly tidings of the strdden death of Sir SAMUEL
AUCHAttITY, the Commander-in-Chief of Ireland,
while riding on horseback in ',he Phoenix Park,
accompauicd by Colonel TnouNroN. The Duke
of .YotiK. being at Brighton, the Colonel pro-
ceeded to that place, from whence. he .accom-
panied -his Royal Highness, yesterday • morning,
at six o'clock, and arrived at. York House, in the
•King's Palace, St. James7s, at eleven. The
Duke of York soon afterwards proceeded to his
Office at the Horse Guards, and transacted mili-
tary business with Sir CvAttLES LONG, the Pay-
master General, &c. In the evening, his Royal
Highness dined with Sir iiraumar TANLOB, at
Little Camden House, Kensington, where Col.
THORNTON was of the party'.

ANECDOTE oph.,: e MARQUIS o; LONDONDERRY.
As any thing tending to illostratt the charac-
ter, or •pourtray the habits of this distinguished Nobleman,
cannot fail to interest the many who a: present mourn with
real grief his untimely fate, we do not hesitate to give a
place to the following trifling but authentic anecdote:—
" The late Marquis was a singularly sound sleeper, and al-
ways accustomed himself to indulge in a certain -portion of
rest, however late the hour at which he retired. A remarkable
instance of this rare quality occurred within the last few years.
His Lordship, in obedience to the. representations of his friends,
was in the habit, at times, of having two fierce mastiffs in his
bed-chamber at night. It happened en one of these occasions
that the metropolis was visited with a violent hurricane, which
did great damage among the house-tops and chininies. The
residence of the late Marquis did not escape ; for, besides other
mischief, a glass skylight was forced from its socket in the
roof, and falling into the interior of the louse, broke into 2i
'thousand pieces at the foot of the Marquis's door. The mastiffs,
trained to the observance of the slightest noise upon the pre-
mises, were naturally roused to the most vociferous defiance by
this astounding crash at the very door of their master. A com-
bination more pay/ern-illy hostile to sieep, or better calculated
to break the charm of that precarious power which " steeps the
senses in forgetfulness," cannot well lee conceived; but in the
midst of all this din, regardlesS anke of the contention of ele-
ments without, and the deafening clamour within, the Minister
of State continued to enjoy an unbroken slumber, and awoke
in the morning totally ignorant of the events of the night."
This otherwise unimportant anecdote offire a rare instance of
an individual filling the high and. arduous situations of this
late lamented Noblemen being able so effectually and sud-
denly to forget all traces Of the cares of office, and the vexa-
tions of political contesta. it is atleast the proof of a heart
at ease within itself, although the anxious admirers of a mind
evincing such powers of self-possession and imperturbable tran-
quillity, will not fail to ask at this new proof of it, how such
mind could have been so acted upon ?

The Marchioness of LomooN DER itY, it is scarce
necessary to oliserve continues inconsoleable. Preparations
are now making fo: •he funeral of her deeply lamented Lord,
which will take place on Monday next.
The Cadiz letters, received by the mail of
yesterday, mention that every thing was quiet
there. They also odd, that the result of the
late events in Madrid had completely put down
the Servile party, encouraged the Constitu-
tionalists, and created great confidence and una-
nimity among the people. In aid of the Catalo-
nian
.cause, the Cadiz Government had sent off
5000 men to Barcelona.

Yesterday the third battalion of Grenadier Guards arrived
here from Dublin, having been relieved by the first battalion,
which sailed hence on Thursday for that city. They will pro-
ceed immediately, by the canal, for London —( Liverpool
