" PLEASE TO RI.Z G THE BELL."
I'll tell you a story that's not in Tom Moore:
Young Love likes to knock at a pretty girl's door ;
So he call'd upon Lucy—'twos just ten o'clock,
Like a spruce single man, with a smart •foitlile knock.
Now a handmaid, isliate-ver her fingers be at,
Will ran like a puss when she hors a rut-tat;
So Lucy ran up—and in twu seconds more
Had question'd the stranger and answer'd the door.
The meeting was bliss, but the parting was woe,
For the moment will come when such comers must go ;
So she kiss'd him, and wbisper'd —poor innocent thing—
" The next time you come, love, pray coine with a ring."

Tnc Tit .t.vrtt c.—Mr. KEAN last night appeared
at Drury-Lane Theatre, in the part of Luke, in
a play entitled Riches, altered by Sir .LAME
BLAND BuRCEi from The Ciiy Madam of MAS•
SINGER. There is a sterling vigour in all the
plays of M.sssisoca, which places him high
among the dramatic writers of this country, and
entitles his works to a distinguished station in
the dramatic literature of the country. The
public are indebted to the learning and acumen
of Mr. Wtr.LIANt GIFFORD for a valuable edition
of these works,in which fall justice is rendered to
the venerable Bard. There has, however, been
such a change in the manners of the people, and
in our language also, that the works themselves
-required the illustration of that acute and judi-
cious critic. It is therefore necessary that alter-
ation's and omissions should take place in any of the
plays of MASSINGER which are intended for repre-
sentation in Our days. The late Mr. WALDRON,
the actor, a very respectable man in private life,
and deeply conversant in our dramatic history,
had prepared an alteration of The Fatal Dowq
of INIA7iSINGER, from which ROWE, without any
acknowledgment, derived his Fair Penitent.—
We hope that Mr. -WALDILON'S alteration will not
be lost to the Public, as we understand that it
had received the sanction of Mr. Girroan, and
as Mr. WALDttox displayed poetical talents upon
several occasions. To return to the performance
of last night. The part of Luke is very well
adapted to the powers of Mr. KEAN, who. in its
abject state, and in the barbarous triumph of his ;
supposed prosperity, acquitted himself very ably,
and justly obtained the applause of a numerous
audience. The rest of the characters were ju-
diciously allotted, and supported in such a man-'
ner as to invest the play in general with a power-
ul interest.

The following is the reply of the LORD LIEU-
TENANT to the Address of the Inhabitants of
Belfast :
" You may be assured that I have undertaken the arduous
duties of this Government, with the same sentiments and the
same principles which have guided my conduct through the
whole course of my life, and which have recommended me to
the gracious notice of our beloved King.
" No consideration can be so interesting to me, as the restora-
tion of peace, tranquillity, and good order to Ireland; for which
salutary purpose it is become most unhappily necessary to as-
sert the authority of the law by the force of the State in some
parts of the country.
" But the solid foundations of permanent repose must rest
on the general harmony and mutual kindness of our country-
men towards each other; this happy state of society, it will be
my duty to cultivate by an impartial Administration of the
Executive Power.

" Your kind expres'ims of confidence and esteem assure me
of your assistance in maintaining the tranquillity of yoar own
neighbourhood, and in promo;ing social union and good temps r
amongst all classes of his .3laiesty's subjects,".

There is a report that Lord STEWART has
withdrawn his Subscription from the Lambton
Hunt, and that his Lordship'3 grounds are inter.
dieted to the range of the Hunt.
We can state, upon unquestionable authority,
that there is no truth in' the statement which has
appeared in several newspapers, that the Duke
of NOUTIIuxthERLAND. has purchased of Sir JACOB
ASTLEY, Bart. the Delaval estate. Sir %howl
will not part with the valuable inheritance on
any account.

Um:LI( IV. of France, being on a jot rney
through some part of his dominions, was, on his eo-
, trance into a particular town, nt by the Mayor
and Municipal Officers, when the Mayor ad-
dressed his Majesty in a speech, which, if not
very brilliant, was sufficiently tedious. In the
midst of the harangue, an ass fell a braying,
when the King said, Chacun a son tour, s'il vous
plait, messieurs.—" Every one in his turns if you
please, gentleulesa.P

CORSICAN STAGS.—We understand that the two Corsican
stags lately presented by Lord MAI-N.:rt.!) to 111 f. ROREHT
HAMMOND, have, daring the course of the last tvm days, a'-
forded to the Westaere Hunt two of the most scVere hxr.s en-
perienced during this or last season: The first was turned ofi'
at Itougham, on Monday, the 23th of January, before a most
numerous field of sportsmen, and after crossing a very eXteri-
siVe hizle of beautiful country', was 'ran into on the teach at
Snettisham, after a very severe chase of -newly three hours.
from the effects of which two horses died. The otner was turned
out at Ea.st Bralcnharn, on Mo.-iday last, and from the gaftant
style in which he started, the msemblagc of Sportsmen were
induced to anticipate a brilliant day ; nor were they disap-
pointed in their expectations, for the stag taking an eastern
direction through a deep and woodland country, af:Ltded the
true hvers of the chsse an opportunity of seeing
.OTTie of the
finest hits and steady hinting ever displayed by any
in. this county; and after running a circuitous route t'ir,y,:,..-tt
thirtr!en parishes, was at last pulled down at 1-10nin,,,,r4
niter a`tremendous run of two hour S and a half'. Fran the,
v ary fine sport which this description of deer has afibrOefr
at various times this season, it is eviient they are vary sup,rie‹.-
to the red deer of this country; fOr the diversion of hunt i 4.,
from their capability to endure otfterne fatigue; and tY,:e the
most extraordinary leaps. '
