,JIEREFORDSIIIRE.—The High Sheriff of the
rtitlty of Hereford has declined to comply with the requisition
Ic'sr a County Meeting, for the purpose of addressing both
n'ouses of Parliament on its Agricultural Distress. Sir HUN.
..jItFORD MOSKYNS, Baronet, has requested the Gentlemen
oo signed the requisition, to meet him at the Hotel, in Here-
to on Saturday next (to-morrow), to consult upon measures
he adopted in consequence of such refusal.—( Worcester
Journal, Dee. 13.)
At a Court of Commissioners of the Can-
terbury Pavement on Wednesday last, a Committee was ap-
P°Ulted to consider of the most eligible plan of improving the
enhance into Canterbury, at the Westgate, accompanied with
special instructions that such improvement must not coutem-
'44te the removal, or any dilapidation, of that ancient structure.
Every lover of Antiquity, and admirer of the
art of glass-staining, will receive much pleasure from a visit to
the Chapel of Winchester College. The Eastern window, a
beautiful specimen of ancient art, has lost its brilliancy from
ee, and become almost entirely obscured. • In the course of
Est year it was taken down, and sent to Shrewsbury, where it
Voi been retouched and restored, with great skill and fidelity,
Y Messrs. BETTON and EVANS, glass-stainers, in that
tow
ri• It is now again put up in the College Chapel, and the
eltitiquary has an opportunity of forming a perfectly distinct
ttlea of the designs employed by Artists of the fourteenth
century. It is precisely the old window, recovered, and
;L.-ight back to what it was when originally painted. The
subject of this painting is the genealogy of our Saviour, on
"'ltch a copy of verses was written by Bishop LOUTH, when a
scholar of the College. Messrs. BETTON and EVANS have
'thready been much praised for their restorations of ancient
gAass, in Litchfield Cathedral, and the work just executed by
thane for Winchester College adds much to their former re-
putation.
WeitassicAL CIRCUMSTANCE.—Love, it is said,
',"l.ttglis at locksmith
tic s—a fact which is exemplifieot d even in the
':l3l.ory of rus lovers, who, where they dare n lift the latch
for fear of awakening the old gudeman, not unfiequently con-
,,iveto po their bullet heads and drag their brasvney shoulders
Irough wonderfully small holes and winnocks. But while the
"'cram/ mode of visiting the lasses is by no means uncommon in
country houses, the perpendicular is rather new. Nathless, a
deed of even this description was attempted at Whithorn on
Puesday last ; the hero being a seafaring youth of the name of
mai, are; and the heroine servant to a respectable inn-keeper.
4 Ile former, it appears, had been making rather free with
4,,can of grog, and despairing, perhaps, of finding any other
ri°de of ingress, he mounted to the top of a two-story
tsuse, and there endeavoured to pounce upon his sweetheart,
by towing himself, 'sweep-like, down the chimney. This, it
mast be confessed, was rather a hazardous experiment, and so
?ur hero felt ; for when about mid ships, as a sailor would say,
he fairly stranded amidst stone,lime, smoke, and soot, nor could
au his efforts ever again disentangle his carcase. For more than
benhours he tugged and pulled, scratched and scrambled,
gg of course averse to expose himself to the ridicule of the
hole town; at length, however, the love of life fairly triumphed
°iter the sense of shame, and roaring put as loud as dust and
11,11aoke would let him, hei craved the forgiveness and besought
good offices of the rnmatesbelow. At first his words sounded
2,lce a voice from the grave, and terrified every one within
tree range of its wailings. In a few minettes the family were all
;steer; some feared it was a thief, and others fancied it was a
: one cried, " Jamie keel the gun," and another whis-
pered, " 0 Jenny bring the Bible." At last a colley dog set
Its. dead at the man in " the lum," as ever pointer did at par-
and after this discovery, the family sallied forth and
oarmed the 'neighbours. A council of war was next held
the subject ; at which some talked of lightin a strong
cl to force the intruder upwards, like other climbing
Y°YN but the majority agreed on the more humane ex-
rethent of mounting to the top of the honse, and pull-
Llfg the man out with ropes. This they found to be no
trY task, but at last the culprit was uncased, with legs as
.eack and blue as the element he had passed through. When
r'uterrogated as to how he had got into such a scrape, he coolly
Plied,
" he had taken the wrong port,"—an answer which
deemed so unsatisfactory, that our hero was committed
for one day to the gaol of Whithorn. This of course was no
Peat punishment ; for, after the horrible durance from which
had been released, even the black-hole at Calcutta must have
"Ppeared a perfect palace.—(Dumfries Courier.)

Mr. Ellis, M.P. had a dinner party yesterday, at his house
in Autlley-square.
BRIGHTON, DEC. 12.—The Earl and Countess Cowper and
Lady Gwydyr had the honour of dining with his Majesty this
day. There is no additional evening party at the Palace.—ln-
vitations are issued to a select few of the Juveniles of Nobility
to be present at an entertainment at the Palace to-morrow even-
ing.—Mr. Peel left the Pavilion, to return to London, this
morning, and Mr. C. Greville, the Royal York Hotel.
The first Concert of the Devon and Exeter Harmonic So-
ciety, at the Subscription-Rooms, on Thursday last, was at-
tended by nearly 500 persons, including all the rank and
fashion of the neighbourhood. Miss George, from Bath, made
her first appearance as principal soprano, and gratified the com-
pany by her execution of the Echo Song.—Miss Rovedino sang
two favourite Italian songs with her usual taste. Of Mr.
Rolle's talents, as a bass singer, we need say no more, than
that he maintains the distinguished place which helms for some
time held as the legitimate successor of Bartleman. Mr. Lind-
ley touched the violoncello with inimitable brilliancy and sweet-
ness in a concerto, and in accompanying Mr. Spark in the song
of Alexis ; the whole band, led by Mr. Loder, was excellent.—
The Devon and Exeter Glee Club held their second Meeting
at the New Rooms on Friday evening, the Right Hon. Lord
Graves in the chair. Fifty-six gentlemen sat down at five
o'clock to a most elegant dinner, served by Mr. Clench, of the
New London Inn. Besides the Noble Chairman, Sir T. Ac-
land, Sir John Rogers, Sir Wm. Call, General Adams, Dr.
Drury, &c. &c. were present.—(Exeter Flying Post, Dec. 12.)
On Monday the 9th inst., the ringing of a merry peal on the
bells of the venerable parish church, announced to the inhabi-
tants of Margate, that the period had arrived which com-
pleted the 21st year of Mr. James Taddy. This Gentleman
is the only son of Edward Taddy, Esq. whose unaffected
benevolence and genuine hospitality, are well known. On
this occasion the flags were hoisted by the ships in the har-
bour, and on the church, the pier, &c. The tenants, all the
labourers in his employ, and many hundreds of children and
poor persons, partook of his bounty.—ln the afternoon, a com-
pany of most respectable tradesmen assembled at the Fountain
i avern and enjoyed the liberality of the worthy 'Squire, cele-
brating lhe happy event in "copious libations to the jolly god."
Many appropriate toasts were drank, and several excellent songs
sung ; the day was spent in the greatest harmony, and the cow-
, pany separated at a late hour, highly pleased with " The
Feast of Reason and the Flow of Soul. ' 'A band of music
• paraded the town, and fireworks of various sorts were displayed
n Cecil-square. Such a scene of jollity and mirth on such an
occasion has never been witnessed by the inhabitants, and will
not soon be effaced from their recollection.—( Kentish Gazette.)

WomAN.---The, following curious cOmplime,n
to the Fair Sex, is extracted from ,an old play,
entitled Cupid's I'Vhirligig
" Who would abuse your sex that knows it ? 0 woman
were we not born of you—should we not then honour you ?
Nurata4 by you—and not regard you ? Made for you—and not
seek you ? And since we were made before you, should we
not live and admire you as the last and most perfect work of
nature ? MAN was made when Nature was but an apprentice,
but Woman when she was a skilful mistress of her art. By
your love we live in double breath, even in our offspring after
death. Are not all vices masculine, and virtues feminine ?
Are not the Muses the loves of the learned ? Do not all'noble
spirits follow the Graces because they .are women ? There is
but one phoenix, and she's a female. Was not the princess and
foundress of good arts, Minerva, born of the brain of highest
Jove, a woman ? Has not woman the face of love, the tongue
of persuasion, and the body of delight. 0 divine perfectioned
woman, if to be of thy sex is so excellent, what is it then to be
a woman enriched by nature, made excellent by education,
noble by birth, chaste by virtue, adorned by beauty !—a fair
woman, which is the ornament of heaven, the grace of earth,
the joy of life, and the delight of all sense, even the very sum-
mum bonum of man's existence."
A WOULD-13E BIGAMIST.—Mr. LAWSON, for-
merly minister at Kirkmahoe (adjoining to Dumfries) was a
most worthy and respectable character, and very much be-
loved by all the country round, but more particularly by his
own parishioners. Once, about a Martinmas term, a farmer's
servant in the parish, a foolish young fellow, called on him, and
told him he had a great mind to get married. ' Very well, John,'
said he, there is nothing wrong in that. Who is the happy
woman you are going to make
.your wife ?' Oh ! Sir,' said
the lad, ' I am rather at a loss just now, and called upon you
to give me your advice in my present difficulty. There
are to two young women whom I love nearly alike ; one of them
I would prefer a little, and only a very little to the other ; now
what I would ask of you, Sir, is this, might I not marry them
both ?" That,' said Mr. Lawson, accordhig to the law of
this country, is not allowable ; but, do you think both of them
are willing to take you for a husband ?" 0 yes, Sir,' said he.,
I think lam pretty sure of that.' ` Very well,' said the mi-
nister, marry the one you like best as soon as convenient, and
in 2 or 3 months after you may come to me, and I will see what
can be done about getting you the other also.' That was done
accordingly ; but for a long' time afterwards there was no word
from John. At last it happened, on a beautiful day in the
month of April following,- that Mr. Lawson met his old ac-
quaintance, in a narrow lane, driving a cart loaded with hay.
The lad barely touched his hat, and wished to push on.
Stop, stop, John,' said the minister, I wish to speak with you.'
What do you want, Sir?' said John, rather tartly. o,' said
Mr. Lawson, you never came back to consult me about what
you spoke of some time ago.' What. was that,' said John, very
hastily. o,' said the good man, you were to speak about
taking another wife.' Another wife, Sir !' cried he ; 0 sad !
O sad! 1 wish you would rather loose me from the one you
tied me to ; will you just stop a moment, and see what shins
she has made me with kicking,' and with this began to loosen
down his stockings in great haste flout, hout.-John,' cried
he minister, we'll see these another time;' and so rode off,
fully satisfied that John thought one wife was enough, and
rather too much for him.
Sir T. B. LETHBRIDGE, Bart. has at this time
no less than 13 farms on his hands for want of
tenants. Very liberal abatements from former
rents have been proposed, but, such is the state
of agriculture at present, that the amount
to be abated is less a matter of consi-

deration, than, whether
_it is prudent to engage to
pay any rent at all ! Several large farms in this
county, which, a very short time ago, made a re-
spectable figure on the rent-roll,are now pronounc-
ed by experienced farmers to be unavailable for
profit at a pepper corn rent; and an agriculturist,
upon whose judgment and veracity we can
rely, has assured us that an estate, a few miles
from this town, which cost the present owner up-
wards of 25,0001. would be now dearly rented
at 2001. per annum.—(Taunton Courier.)

POETRY.

THE BACHELOR'S DREAM.
The music ceased, the last quadrille was o'er,
And one by one the waning beauties fled;
The garlands vanish'd from the fresco'd floor,
The nodding fidler hung his weary head.

And I—a melancholy, single man—
Retired to mourn my solitary fate.—
I slept awhile'; but o'er my slumbers ran
The sylph-like image of my blushing Rate.

I dreamt of mutual love and Hymen's joys,
Of happy moments and connubial basses,
And then I thought of little girls and boys,
The mother's glances and the infants' kisses.

I saw them all, in sweet perspective, sitting
In winter's eve around a blazing fire,
The children playing and the mother knitting,
Or fondly gazing on the happy sire.

The scene was changed.—ln came the Baker's bill:
I star'd to see the hideous consummation
Of pies and puddings, that it took to till
The bellies of the rising generation.

There was no end to eating—legs of mutton
Were vanquish'd daily by this little host ;
To see them, you'd have thought each tiny glutton
Had laid a wager who could eat the most.

The massy pudding smok'd upon the platter, _
The pond'rous sirloin rear'd its heitd in vain,
The little urchins kick'd up such a flatlet,
That scarce a remnant e'er appeared again.

Then came the School bill 2. Board and Education
So much per annum; but the extras mounted
To nearly twice the primal stipulation,
And every little bagatelle was counted:

To mending tucks.—A new Homeri Bias,—
A pane of glass.—Repairing coat and breeches.—
A slate and pencil.—Binding old Virgilius.—
Drawing a tooth.—An opening draught and leeches.

And now I languish for the single state,
The social glass, the horse and chaise on Sunday,
The jaunt to Windsor with my sweetheart Kate,
And curs'd again the weekly bills of Monday.

Here Kate began to scold,—l stampt and swore,
The kittens squeak, the children loudly scream ;
And thus awaking with the wild uproar,
I thank'd my stars that it was but a dream.
