HENRY TOWNSITEND, ESQ.—This Gentleman,
who was the Proprietor and Editor of The Duhl;n Correspon-
dent, we regret to learn, as we had the pleasure of knowing him,
died last week at the house of his brother, Counsellor
Townsend, in Leeson-street, Dublin. His dissolution it is
stated, was the effect of a very long illness, under which
he suffered for nearly three years, and which was aggra-
rated by several deceitful indications of returning health.—
He bore the vicissitudes of his protracted trial with the forti-
tude and hope which never fail to sustain a sincere Christian.—
No man lived more in society than he did, or perhaps ever
moved in amore extended circle of it, sharing in the esteem
and attachment of all descriptions. His understanding was
manly,: clear, and informed ; his sentiments of friendship
were sterling and pure; his heart was warm, his hand gene-
, rpus and his manners affectionate. To those qualities un-
friended or unmerited misfortune never appealed without
finding always an ardent, and often an effective advocate ; and
to those, perhaps, he was himself indebted, for the friendship
and regard of some among the first and best in the country.—
That the friends and companions of so honest a spirit should
regret him is to be expected—that his relatives feel the deepest
affliction for the loss of him, is but the natural tribute to which
his admirable qualities were entitled.—( Cork M. C'hroniele.)
On Tuesday morning last a meeting was held
in the. Chapel, Hanover-square, Newcaitle, of Protestant and
Dissenting Ministers the three denominations, for the pur.
pose of establishing a fund, which should have for its object
the relief and support of its members, in case that through
age or incurable sickness they should any of them become
unable to discharge the duties of their important office. It
has long excited the surprise of reflecting persons, that for
such cases no adequate provision has hitherto been made. It
is now about eleven years since a paper was published on the
subject by the Committee of the Northern Widows Fund
Association ; which, it is believed, contributed to the in-
stitution of a Society in London, for granting relief \in
such cases to a certain • extent. But that institution, ex-
cellent as it is, partakes of the nature of a charitable fund ;
and it is more agreeable to' an independent mind to have
recourse to a fund on which it may have a claim of
Fight, by contributing a stated sum yearly, to receive,
in case of need, a correspondent annuity. This is the
basis pf the scheme proposed,. without declining the bene-
volent aid of the laity, especially in the infancy of the under-
taking. The rules which had been drawn up at a former meet-
ing were revised and greatly improved ; the .Reverend Messrs.
M'lndoe, Turner, Pengilly, and Smith, were appointed a Com-
mittee to print and circulate them ; and 16 Ministers gave in
their names as Members, besides several who signified their
approbation by lefter.—(Durham County Advertiser.)
On Thursday last, an industrious milkman,
named Thomas Ball, residing in Union-street, Southwark, was
tried at the Surrey Sessions,for an assault on his wife ; found
guilty, sentenced to pay 6d. and to enter into his own recog-
nuances to keep the peace for twelve calendar months. Since
that period he has been missing from home. A warrant was
applied for by the parish-officers of St. Saviour's, for his appre-
hension, for deserting his wife and family. Yesterday morning
at six o'clock, the body of the unfortunate man was found in a
cow-shed belonging to Mr. Roopel.at Brixton-hill, suspended
by the neck with a silk handkerchief, from the beam of the hay-
rack. His body was immediately. cut down, but life was ex-
tinct. - There were two deep incisions across each other on one
of the aims, supposed to have been inflicted by the deCeased
himself. The body was removed. to a public-house in the neigh-
bourhood, for a Coroner's Inquest.

POETRY.

)
From the Rev. G..CROLY'S Illustrations of Gems from the

Antique.

In the grave his head was laid
All its atoms in the sun
For a thousand years haveirlay'd,
Through a thousand shapes have gone ;
Quick with life, or cold with death,
Still but withering dust and breath !
It has blossom'd in the flower—
It has floated in the wave—
It has lit the star-light hour
It has whisper'd through the cave !
Has the spirit perish'd all ? •
~ This was but its mouldering wall !
Fame, _the prize of life, was won ;
F'INDER'S mighty task was done;
Then on the air his wing was cast !
Like a flame, the soul has past,
While the ashes rest below ;
Like a trumpet's sudden blast,
Gone I.—what strength shall check it now ?
When the lightning wears a chain,
Pindar's soul shall stoop again !
Yet the world has need of thee,
Man of Immortality !
Greece—the name is lost in tease,—.
Land of laurels, lyres, and spears !
Visions on that spot have birth,
Brighter than are born of earth :
In that soil of glorious strife,
Not an atom but had life,
Glow'd and triumph'd, fought, and died,
As the, patriot battle's tide,
Flood of arrow, lance, and sword,
O'er the whelm'd invader roir'd.
• Hear us ! from thy golden Sphere !
Shall the eternal sepulchre
Hide the spirit of the land ?
Shall no great, redeeming hand—
(Oh, for such as dyed her seas
In thy day, Miltiades !)
Issuing from her peasant ranks,
Smite the turban'd robber horde.
Till the chain no longer clanks,—
Till the Turkish battle, gored, .
Over Helle's purple banks
In returnless flight is pour'd ;
Till the phalanx, laurel-browed,
Like a rolling thunder-cloud,
Like a conflagration sweeping,
Of its plague-spot clears the soil
And no more the voice of weeping,
Woman's•shame, or manhood's spoil,
Grieves the listening midnight sky ?
Pindar ! shall her glory die !
Shall, like thine, no godlike strain
'reach her to be great again ?
Hear us, from thy starry-throne
_Hear !--by those in Marathon!
'l.* We lately inserted some Lines, written under the Head
of SAPPHO, by Mr. CROLY. We admire the plan of these
ILLtysTnaT lola of Antique Gems, and conceive that they
could not be executed with more spirit, trste and learning than
by this Gentleman, who justly ranks among the best of living
Poets.

CORONEas,

A Coroners' Inquest was held last night before
Mr. SHELTON, Coroner, at St. Thomas's Hospital; on the
body of Elizabeth Lock, aged 37.—J. Arthur stated, that he
was keeper of the lunatics in Lambeth 'Workhouse, where the
deceased was a lunatic pauper, he fetched her from her resi-
dence, No. 1, South-street, Kennington. cross, on the 4th of
July last. On the sth instant he was alarmed by the cries of
murder, at three in the morning, which proceeded from a field,
outside the walls of the workhouse. He went to a window and
saw the deceased ; he instantly went to her and asked what
was the matter ? She answered, that she had jumped from the
wall, and broke her leg. On examination he found that she
had got out of her apartment, where there were about 24 other
lunatic females, and had ascended the wall by some means,
which is above .nine feet high, and jumped off; he called
the master of the workhouse, who ordered a cart, and she was
taken instantly to the Hospital. Henry Sterry, dresser to Mr.
Green, said he saw the deceased on the morning of the sth
inst. about half-past six o'clock, when brought .to the Hospital;
she had a compound fracture of the leg. The usual remedies
were applied, but she lingered till Saturday last, when she ex-
pired. Verdict—That the deceased met her death by jumping
from a wall in a state of derangement.

Last night an inquest was held by Mr. Higgs, Deputy
Coroner for Westminster, at the Triturrphant Chariot, Gros-
venor-place, on the body of Jane Tborville, a window, 45
years of age, who cut her throat on the 17th of September, at
her lodgings, the Portman Arms, Portman-street, whence she
was taken to the Hospital, and died on the 26th inst.. Verdict
1 nsanity.

Another Inquest was held at. the Barley Mow, in Mount-
street, Grosvenor-square, before the same Coroner, on the body
of Wm. Holland, 60 years of age, formerly a respectable mas-
ter plumber and painter, whose body was found in the basin in
Hyde Park on Sunday morning; his great coat was tied in a
double knot above his knees; he had frequently said he in-
tended to drown himself, but Mr. HIGGS said there was no
evidence to shew that the deceased threw himself into the
water, and the Jury therefore returned a verdict--" Found
drowned without any marks of violence about the body.

In one of the most beautiful churches of the
East Riding, are three minstrels, projecting from, one of its
pillars, dressed in the ancient costume of their time, blue sur-
touts anti red stockings ; the late Mayor (whose seat is near
them) either 'not being so much ;skilled in minstrelsy. as Sir.
Walter Scott, or thinking their dress too gaudy for the sa-
cred edifice, or from some other cause, ordered a painter
to daub them over, the colour of the pillar. The Church-
wardens being informed of.
'the circumstance applied to the
Vicar, but he had given no order on the subject ; one of the
Churchwardens, therefore, declared lie would desnowstrate with
his Worship, and it appears he did prove, to a demonstration,
that the Mayor Was Wrong, for he ordered the painter to re-dress
them in blue and red, as before, and they now stand glittering
in the full splendour of their ancient finery—( Leeds Inde-
pendent.)

MARCH OF EVENTS.—In the complicated and
marvellous machinery of circumstances, it is
absolutely impossible to decide what would have
happened, as to some events, if the slightest dis-
turbance had taken place in the march of those
that preceded them. If a private country gentle-
man in Cheshire, about 1730, had not been over-
turned in his carriage, it is extremely probable that
America, instead of being a free republic at this
moment, would , have continued a dependent
colony of England. This Cheshire gentleman
happened to be Augustus Washington, Esq., who
was thus accidently thrown into the company of
a lady, who afterwards became his wife, who
emigrated with him to America, and in the year
1732; at Virginia, became the envied mother of
George Washington the great.
