POETRY..

STANZAS TO
With bearing the following Motto :
" Je ne change Izeen mourairt."

By the memory of all that in lovely and bright,
By the banner of "gorgeous and radiant light,

That streamaitt the west ;
When the Sun, as if weary of shining all dad,.
Steals in silence and majesty slowly away,
To his bowers of rest,.
By the fragrance that hauntastill the leaves of the. Rose,
When with life-blush of beauty no longer it glows,—
I swear—'6ll this bosom exhales its last breath,
1, will still love thee fondly, and change but in death.

When two rivers pursuing their strong brilliant track,
Meet and blend in the sea, caw thou bid them flow back,

To their native source ?,
Canst thou part them again' No united they stray,,
Through calm and through tempest, by niKht and by day,
_ _

()n their destin'a course.
So two hearts that hate mingled in passion's warm tide,
Once join`d in Love's Ocean, can never divide ;
Then dear one believe, till thqla.st failing breath,
I shall still love thee fondly, mil change but in death.

Varewell_Lr the• agony wild and intense,
Which Shoots through each fibre, and thrills, exert' sense,

As I utter that word—
that word full of anguish, despair, and of woe,
The knell of all happiness left me below,,
Which wherever 'tis heard,,
In the soul ends an echo, as dismal and drear
As the sound of defeat to the sad warrior's ear—,
By all of these tokens, believe my last breath
Will bless thee, and murmur—l change not in death.
GERTRUDE.

THE LATE LORD MAYOR.
On Tuesday, a delegation from the inhabitants
of Bridge Ward, of which the late Lord Mayor is Alderman,
waited upon his Lordship, for the purpose of presenting him

with a piece of plate, in testimony of their respect and esteem.
Mr, ATTWQOD, as the organ of the deputation, said, the
Citizens of London were under the greatest obligations to his
Lordship for the liberal, honourable, and impartial course which
he had pursued throughout his Mayoralty, for the remarkable
attention
,he paid to the interests of the community, and the
zeal he had manifested upon all occasions in which his
fellow-citizens were concerned. The inhabitants of the Ward
over which his Lordship presided felt most particularly the
force of those obligations, and were anxious to testify their
sense of his Lordship's worth by presenting him with a piece
of plate, in voting which there had been exhibited the most
cordial unanimity amongst the residents. There had been some
difference of opinion as to the propriety of waiting upon his
Lordship before the plate was ordered, but it was decided, that
as the subscriptions had poured in the moment the proposition
was made, it would be advisable to take the opportunity of
communicating the circumstance to his Lordship on the day he
was to resign his authority as Chief Magistrate, and to request
that he would intimate his wish upon the subject of the de.,
scrytion of article which he might prefer.
the LORD MAYOR, said he should, with the utmost grati-
tude accept any mark of the esteem of the inhabitants of the
Ward of Bridge, and Inc felt under the highest obligation to
them, for the warm attention which he bad received from them
upon all occasions. He felt it also to be his duty to express his
sense of the aid he received iA his public capacity from the
citizens of London, to whom he must acknowledge himself
indebted deeply during the whole course of his Mayoralty
Mr. AT'r wools said the deputation conl4 not, upon this
atCatielas ttiiit'ttMert which pretrited—tttetrofintr:
-mating to his Lord ip the gratification his fellow-citizens
would feel if-hp would oiler himself as a candidate to represent
the City of London in Parliament,
The Lon IVIATOR replied, that he was prevented by more
reasons-than one from entertaining any idea of offering himself
as a sandidate for tlie representation of the city, He should speak
with the-utmost candour upon the subject. Ills respect for the
city of London was a bar to any intention of aspiring at the
representation of it. 1:d was not possessed of those requi-
sites which he considered indispensable. He was not
master of that commercial knowledge by which those
who represented a great city should be distinguished ; and
whatever opinions he might entertain upon questions which
sprung up in the great variety of Parliamentary discus,
sion, he was not capable of giving an- adequate expres-
sion to his sentiments. He had duties besides of a very import-
ant, of, in fact, a very permanent nature, in his opinion, to per-
form, with which a publiclife could rot but interfere. He had
a large family, but independently of the breach which great pub-
lic engagements would make in his domestic comforts, the for..
mer reasons were quite sufficient to prevent him from offer-
ing himself for the Representation of the City, At the same
time that he made. this declaration, he thought he might,
without impropriety, • state that he considered that in electing
Representatives, his fellow citizens were hound to take care that
the mercantile interests of the City should be adequately repre-
sented. Although he, as one of the Corporation, had the
strongest attachment to that body, he was not bigotted to it, and
lie was of opinion, that if the corporation could not find
amongst themselves men who were well qualified to do honour
to their choice, they were bound to look elsewhere. He at the
same time Wished to be understood as not meaning to say
that the Corporation did not supply qualified men. He was
convinced that there were many gentlemen of that body, of
high talents and extensive information.

Soon after the deputation retired, the household waited upon
the Lord Mayor, to take leave of him, which they did in a
highly complimentary address, to which his Lordship returned
An appropriate and impressive answer.

GRAND SHOOTING PARTY AT CHEVELEY.
For the last two or three weeks his Grace the Duke of Rut-
land, agreeably to his annual custom during the Newmarket
October Meetings, has had a select party, composed .of his
Royal Highness the Duke of York, Marquis Graham,
Honourable Colonel Anson, C. C. Smiths Esq., &c. which
on Sunday last was increased by the arrival of his Royal
Highness Prince Leopold. Monday was appointed for a grand
battue, and at eleven o'clock^ the Royal and Noble Party
took the .field, shooting first in the neigbouring coppices to
the park, and then in the ferns and small coppices within
the walls. In shooting, great attention was paid to the wish
of toe Noble Duke to confine the sport as much as possible to
cocks, so that when a pheasant got up, if it was a cock he was
immediately brought down, hpt if the keepers called a leen,
not a feather was disturbed. The shocting throughout was
very fine; his Royal Highness Prince Leopold being decidedly
the most successful ; his Royal Highness the Duke of York
the next; the Honourable Colonel Anson was very little
behind • arid Mr. Smith dropped his birds in good style.--
—At half-past seven the Party sat down to a most sumptuous
dinner, the table being spread with every delicacy, and orna
mented with the different Gold Ciys won by the Noble Dukes
horses. The return of the shooting was as under:—Hare'
130 ; pheasants, 113 ; rabbits, 68 ; partridges, 7—total, 318.5,
