THE NIGHTINGALE THAT SINGS IN THE
WINTER.
When the waters are stark, and the crystalline snow
Sparkles keen and unchanged in the morn's ruddy glow,
And the prism coloured icicles flash in the sun,
The bitter cold stills all the song-birds but one.
Now the linnet. the lark, and the throstle are dumb,
E'en the stout little wren's gallant heart is o'ercome,
And the Nightingale, warbler so wondrous of tone,
That sings in the winter, is tuneful alone.
Sweetest creature, in song without rival or peer,
Far more inwardly vibrate thy notes than the ear,
For there speaks in that music, pure, gentle, refined,
The exquisite voice of a beautiful mind—
Of a spirit of earnestness, goodness, and truth,
Of a heart full of tender compassion and ruth,
Ever ready to comfort, and succour, and bless,
In sorrow and suffering, in want and distress.
And the Nightingale's name by faint voices is praised,
For poverty aided and Charities raised;
Not more good was the bird in whom childhood believes—
The readbreast that covered the children with leaves.
And in tribute and love to a memory revered,
By her magical voice noble monuments reared,
The high minded communion with Genius attest,
Which gloriously thrills in the Nightingale's breast.
Now this Nightingale rare, in the winter who sings,
Being not yet a seraph, is one without wings;
And her name, which has travelled as wide as the wind,
Is kind-hearted, generous, dear Jenny Lind.—Punch.

THE NEW CITY SEWERS CostsussioN.--Yester-
day and during the last few days the official gentlemen
connected with the Corporation of the City of London
have been engaged in making arrangements for the
operation of the new Act of Parliament for the appoint-
ment of Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London
and the liberties thereof; and the due regulation of the
paving and lighting of the said City. The preliminary
steps having been taken by special meeting on the part
of the committee of the Common Council appointed for
such a purpose, the names selected will, it is expected,
on Thursday next, be submitted for approval to the
Court of Common Council. It is expected that the seal
of the new commission will be opened on the Tuesday
next following such meeting of the commonalty. The
late chairman of the old commission, it is rumoured,
will be appointed as the president, the members being
chiefly appointed from the late body of Commissioners.
Certain members to represent the district of the City at
the Metropolitan Board will also be chosen.
THE BORDER HIGH PRIEST.—The death of Mr.
Collins seems to have broken the spell
of monopoly, for
instead of a single successor there arc now, to our
knowledge, no fewer than eight person' offering
u'
services to the public, willing to 'perform the 'marriage
ceremony on the shortest notice possible. One of thir
these
officiators told us that he had this wee k beeenoppsrheosusedld
with the amount of business, and he he r ievd he
be obliged to procure an " ass" to convey him to Scot-
land and home again. Another showed
,us a published
announcement of his having commenced business, in
which he states that be will bo ready for his duty " by
night or by day. Such industry and accommodation
may well put the sons of Levi to the blush.—Berwick
Advertiser.

principal soprano parts, in operas, &c. In 1792 she
retired from the stage altogether, and has resided for
