POETRY.

•
ON THE NEW YEAH.
(FROM THE BURY GAZETTE.)
Year rolls on year !—Time flies so fast,
We scarce perceive his flight--nor deem
The present moment-nor the past
Has realized our golden dream.
Well, let us dream ! to 'wake, and mourn
For blessings lost, or sorrows borne,
Would only place us on the rack,
And could not bring one moment back !

No !—Time hath only ONE lock—grey—
And that, alas ! he wears behind;
Unless we seize the thief to-day,
He flies us, like the idle wind :
Aye, TIIIEE I deem him---for,-he steals-- -- • Our youth away, which oft' reveals
Visions, so bright with cloudless joy,
Which nought but TIME could e'er destroy !
So let him fly !—could we pursue;
And bring him back, we might not love him ;
Time PRESENT spews a sombre hue,
Ex•ept to minds that soar above him !
To minds that bow not to the fate
•
Which leaves the coward desolate !
To minds that soar above the sorrow,
Which thleats to-day--or waits to-morrow !

Yet would I not forget that all
The worldly things which charm us here,
With them that rise—and them that fall—
Are passing—with the passing year—
We ALL are changing !—heedless Time,
E'en now, regardless of my rhyme
Dull hovering o'er oblivion's brink,
Blots out the moments as 1 think !

Well ! OTHER moments follow ;—yes !
And why should they be deemed less fair ?
The storm that wrecks our happiness
Is often raised by dark despair !
I love to FEEL the hour was given
A joyous beam that lights to fleavenl
1 love to pluck the flowers that bloom
Between the cradle and the tomb !

Oh ! what a rich parterre is spread
Around us here--our life discloses,
Amid the trivial Ws we dread,
For every thorn a thousand roses!
Away with care !—cOme Hope !—inspire
The drooping world ! and lend thy -fire,
To warm our hearts, and light us e'er
Life's path-411 life shall be no more !

CONSECRATION OF THE ROYAL CHAPEL.
This Chapel, founded by his MAJEsTi, has
been consecrated this day by the Bishop of Chi-
chester: At an early hour the principal avenues
leading to the Chapel were occupied by carriages,
and though the morning was very unfavourable,
the solicitors for admission were most numerous.
The exterior of the Chapel is a simple and elegant structure,
but the approach to it is not completely finished. The. Chapel
is fitted up in a style of suitable magnificence. The pulpit and
reading-desk were richly covered with crimson velvet. The
communion-table decorated with similar costliness, and en-
compassed with a gilded railing. A gold chalice, &c. stood on
the table. The gallery projecting over one extremity of the
Chapel is chaster), and beautifully painted. It was occupied
by the gentlemen and choristers of his Majesty's Chapel Royal,
St. Jaines's.
At the opposite extremity, and separate from the aisle, is the
space assigned to the Sovereign and his suite.
A few minutes before eleven o'clock, the Chapel was opened
to those who had previously obtailied tickets to witness the cere-
monial of its consecration, The Chapel soon presented a scene
of the most gratifying character. It was delightful to behold
the noble and the illustrious of the land assembling in " the
temple of the living .God," and thus demonstrating that they
were not indifferent even to the forms by which Religion
is
placed under the protection of a becoming solemnity. There
is something in such a solemnity which might teach Puritanism
a useful precept. It is not the sudden and impetuous and un-
holy congregation of a people h " the House of God." It is
the calm approach—the humble' advance ofgenuinepiety,whieli
pauses to petition the Almighty, " that he would favourably
approve and graciously accept the godly purpose of setting
apart a place in a solemn manner to the performance of the
offices of' religious worship, and to beg his blessing en the
undertaking."
The seats in' the Chapel were occupied previously to the
commencement of the Form appointed for its Consecration,
and we observed several most distinguished persons whO were
compelled to stand during the ceremony.
His I%lajesty entered the Chapel at about half an hour after
11 o'clock. Tile curtains, placed between that portion of the
Chapel assigned to his Majesty and the aisle, were thrown aside,
and in the centre discovered the King, dressed in a rich blue
uniform. _His Majesty, we are gratified to say, appeared in
excellent health, and was most unremitting in his attention to
the service which followed. We frequently observed him join.-
ing with much fervancy in the responses, which were very cor-
rectly and very beautifully sung by the Choir.
On the left, and separated from his ;Majesty by a crimson
curtain, we observed the Princess Esterhazy, Lady Harcourt,
Lord and Lady Cunningham.
'On the right of his Majesty stood Sir Benjamin Bloomfield,
and several other distinguished membeis of his Majesty's suite.
The Bishop, his Chaplains, the Preacher, the officiating Mi-
nister, and other Clergy, passed through the middle aisle to the
communion table, repeating, alternately, the six first verses of
the 24th psalm—the remaining verses by the choir.
The Bishop. and his Chaplains went within the rails
officiating Munster to the desk, and the Preacher near tol the
pulpit.
The Bishop, sitting in his chair, received the King's man-
date for the consecration of the chapel, which he placed on the
communion-table, and then standing up, turned to the con-
gregation and said—
Dearly beloved in the Lord, forasmuch as devout and holy
men, as well under the law as under the Gospel, have erected
houses for the public worship of God, and separated them from
all secular and profane uses, in order to fill men's minds with
greater reverence for his glorious Majesty, and to affect their
hearts with more devotion and humility in his service: so let
us not doubt but that, the AlMighty will favourably approve
and graciously accept our godly purpose of setting apart this
place in solemn Manner, to the performance of the offices of
religious worship ; and let us faithfully and devoutly beg his
blessing on this our undertaking."
The Bishop, kneeling, then said the following prayer :
" 0 Eternal God, mighty in power, and of Majesty incom-
prehensible, whom tile Heaven of Heavens cannot contain,
much less the walls of temples made with hands ; and who yet
hest been graciously pleased to promise thy especial presence in
whatever place even two or three of thy faithful servants shall
assemble in thy name, to offer up their praises and supplications
unto thee; vouchsafe, 0 Lord, to be present with us, who are
here gathered together with all humility and readiness of heart
to consecrate this place to the honour of thy great name; sepa-
rating it henceforth from all unhallowed, ordinary, and com-
mon uses, and dedicating it to time offering up to thy glorious
Majesty the sacrifices of prayer and thanksgiving, and to the in.
struction of thy people in the pure doctrines of thy blessed Son's
Gospel. Accept, 0 Lord, this service at our hands, and bless
it with such success as may tend most to thy glory; to the fur-
therance of our happiness, both temporal and spiritual, through
Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen."
The usual prayers at the Consecration of a Chapel then fol-
lowed, after which
The Bishop, sitting, the act of Consecration was read by the
Chancellor, and signed by the Bishop, and ordered to be regis-
tered, and was laid on the table.
The Minister re the service except where it was otherwise
directed. The 84th, 122 d and 132 d Psalms were then chaunt-
ed by the Choir.
The proper Lessons having been read, the Collects followed,
and the officiating Minister then passed on to the General
Thanksgiving, which being said, the Bishop introduced the
following prayer for the King
" Blessed be thy name, 06God, that it hath pleased thee by
thy Holy Spirit to dispose the heart of thy Servant, our Sove-
reign Lord George the Fourth, to give and dedicate this build-
ing to thy hofiour and worship. Bless his seresces and accept
the work of his hand. Remember him concerning this act of
piety—forget not the kindness that he bath here skewed for the
house of his God, and the religious instruction of his people ;
and grant that all who shall enjoy the benefit of this pious work,
may spew forth their thankfulness, by making a right use of it,
to time glory of thy blessed name, through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen."
This prayer for the Ring, as the fouader, being said, the of-
ficiating Minister concluded with the prayer of St. Chrysostom,
and the Blessing.
The 'Sanctus was sung previously to the commencement of
the Communion Service, " Holy, holy, holy."
The Communion Service having been, read, the Epistle and
Gospel followed ; then the Nicene Creed ; after which
The Preacher, the Rev. Mr. Pearson, ascended 'the 'pulpit;
and took his text from the latter part of the 63d verse of the first
of Kings. "So the King and all the children of' Israel dedi-
cated the house of the Lord." The preacher, after some preli-
minary observations, proceeded -to observe, that in the early
periods of the world,: the worship of one Gon maintained its in-
fluence ; but though dispensations, to p,ove the perfection and
the truth of this pure system of worship were made to man,
still, however, they were not sufficient to persuade him from
polytheism anti idolatry. To his favoured people God vouch-
safed this law, and " his name was known in Judith, and
great in Israel." The great Monarch, David, had a temple
erected to God, but it was reserved for. Solomon, his son, to
build a place worthy of the Lord. The world, perhaps, never
beheld a more magnificent, nor a more ammaatataus da, than
that to which his text referred the dedication of that y
temple
to the worship of the Almighty. The preacher then al-
luded to the various manifestations which God vouchsafed
to make on that occasion. He then passed on to the ido-
latry and the consequent fall of the Jewish people, and then by
a natural transition to the coming of Christ, when sacrifices
were abolished by the voluntary offering of the incarnate Saviour.
The Saviour of the world disclosed to the woman of Samaria, the
nature of his mission-, and shcwed that the period of a restricted
and ceremonial service had passed away. " Believe me the
hour cometh when neither in this mountain nor in Jernsalem;
shall ye worship the Father. God is a spirit, and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and in trdth." He
proceeded to skew, that though God dwelt not in temples made
with hands, yet had the divine author and his apostles, by the
influence of example, proved that external ordinances were of
much importance. The preacher, in a most able and impres-
sive discourse, dwelt upon the peculiar advantage derived from
sacred worship, and above all' from the excellent service which
the Church of England had adopted, and concluded by pray.
ing that God would of his infinite goodness vouchsafe to the
Monarch of this kingdom those blessings which he had promised,
" that he would grant him his heart's desire, and fulfil a I his
prayers."
After the sermon the choir sung,
" Hallelujah, for the Lord GOD omnipotent remgneth."
" The Kingdom of this world is becomathe Kingdom of our
Lord, and of his Christ ; and he shall reign for ever and ever :
King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
Time Bishop having pronounced the final blessing, " God
awe the King" was finely given by the choia.---The service con-
cluded about half-past 2 o'clock.

Saturday night the inhabitants of Duck-lane
and Pie-street, -Westminster, were thrown into
great alarm in consequence of cries of murder is.
suing from a house in Pie-street. On repairing
to the spot, a young man named R. Joy as was
found at the foot of the stairs in a state of insen-
sibility, and bleeding profusely. A woman,
named Mary Murray, with whom he cohabited,
was in an upperroomi armed with a poker, and
threatening destruction to any perstin who should
dare to approach her. The man was taken tO
the Westminster Infirmary, where prompt assist-
ance was rendered ; his head was found to be
cut dreadfully, and he was considered to be
in a dangerous state. After the surgeon had
dressed the wound, he recovered a nitir, and
said, " it was Mary Murray who struck him with
the poker." She was taken into custody, and.
on Monday was brought up to Queen-square, and
examined before Mr. RAYNSFORD, the Magis-
trate, when it appeared that Jones had deserted
her. On Saturday he went for some articles be-
longing to him, leftat her apartment, when aluar-
rel took place, and she struck him with a poker.

she flung at him, but he knocked-her down first.
She was committed for want of bail; the man still
lies in imminent danger.

THE MARKETS.

CQN EXCHANGE, JAN. 2.
We have had large arrivals in this morning, and our Market
is full as dear as on Monday, for the best samples ; and the
inferior ones rather more in demand ; this we say of Wheats ;
Barley rather more in demand for the best qualities, but the
stained samples very dull, and little call for them; Oats,
Beans and. Pease as on Monday, and not much in demand.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK, DEC. 31.--We have no alt=tion in our
Hop Market since our last.
MAIDSTONE, DEC. 3L—We at this time do not know of
a single parcel of choice, or we may say really good hops,
being left in either bags or pockets, or is the quantity of low
and middling large ; we have of these but very few parcels
of any consequence, and for which there is "a demand, and at
rather improved prices.--We feel much plpsure in having it in
our power to congratulate the growers on the establishment of a
hop market at Maidstone. consider it of the first import-
ance to this part of the country. We hear that the major part
of our middle Kent growths have been disposed of here, and at
prices that have given general gatiafaction.
