BOULOGNE-SUR-MER, OCT. 4.
Lady BARRINGTON" gave a grand ball last evening, which
was attended by all the beauty and fashion of this place; the
supper was superb, consisting of all the delicacies of :the sea Son,
abundance of game, Perigord pies, &c. to which a high zest
was given by the finest wines of France. The merry dance
was kept up till a late hour. The old, sociable, Irish country
dance was not forgotten in this fashionable circle. A Spanish
dance and waltzes concluded the festivities of the evening, or
rather of this morning, which shed its rays upon the gay scene,
ere the sprightly votaries °of refined pleasure had separated.
There was an extraordinary assemblage of beautiful women,
the dazzling effect of whose charms was heightened by the most
splendid richness and tasteful elegance of dress.
The sky never shone with greater brilliancy than last night ;
it was in a constant illumination from ten till eleven o'clock;
the thunder which rolled at a distance added an awful subli-
mity to the scene. The view in the port was quite picturesque.
This morning has been very close, and we have had a good
deal of thunder and lightning, attended with heavy rain.
OCTOBER 3.—The Sovereign sailed from hence last morning
with a number of passengers and four carriages. Amongst the
former were the Earl of Leitrim and family, with a numerous
suite ; Lady Popham, Messrs. Butler, Russell, &c. The wind
was brisk and direct for Dover, so that it was expected the pas-

sage would be made in less than four hours.
The Medusa sailed this day well freighted, and the Sovereign
arrived with nearly 30 passengers, but for want of water she
was obliged to lay at the pier head.
The Sovereign sails again this day (Friday). A consider-
able number of passengers are expected to embark in this
packet, which has already six carriages on board. Boulogne
has, in fact, all the business of arrivals and departures ; the
balance is, however, full three to two in favour of the returns to
England.
Although the departures are numerous, the arrivals are suf-
ficient to fill up the vacancies, and very few good houses are as
yet in want of tenants,
The Chevalier Charles Le Cordier, the Sub-Prefect of this
place, is a polite and well-informed Gentleman ; he joins in all
the parties given by the visitors, and is universally esteemed.
Every thing has gone on well here since Madame de Viry's
unfortunate and melancholy catastrophe. The weather has
been rather unsettled; but early risers have enjoyed sufficient
exercise, and the bathing has experienced no interruption.
All visitors, on their first arrival here should take care to in-
quire of their friends, who have been some time resident in the
place, the prices of every article—in lodgings, especially, the
greatest imposition is practised upon new corners.
A party of sportsmen here are arranging a plan for bringing
over a pack of English fox hounds to Tours, for the ensuing
seaon ; some of them have already set out for Blois, Orleans,
and the vicinity of Tours.

The Parliamentary Commissioners for investi-
gating the Management and the Receipt and
Expenditure of the Customs and Excise, with a
view to economy in these departments of the Re-
venue, have been in this city for some days.
Their inquiries have been most minute ; and in
various meetings with the Heads of the different
Public Bodies they have shown a most praise-
worthy readiness to receive information, and to
attend to any suggestions that may be made to
them for the advantage of the mercantile and
agricultural interests of the country.—(Aber-
deen Journal.)

POETRY.

SONG OF A RUSSIAN LADY,

STRUGGLING BETWEEN THE DICTATES OF PASSION FOR
HER LOVER, WHO IS IN HUMBLE LIFE, AND THOSE OF
DUTY TO HER PARENTS, ADDRESSED TO HER HEART.

(Imitated from the Russian.)
Ah ! when will thy sorrows be ended,
Thy pangs, and the depth of thy woe !
Shall the soft balm of peace ne'er be blinded
With grief and wild agony's throe ?
Ah, no ! till the tomb shall receive thee,
Thy misery never shall leave thee,
Poor Heart !

Shall the plight of thy fondness be broken ?
Ah, no ! thou wouldst break with it too !
Wilt thou turn from the vows thou host spoken ?
Ah, no ! as thy God thou art true !
But Fate stands with duty before thee—
Thou art wither'd—Despair is come o'er thee,
Poor Heart !

No joy in the world shalt thou cherish ;
The bloom of thy spring is destroyed :
In thee all that blossom'd must perish,
Thou art but a desolate void.
Ah, no ! till the tomb shall receive thee,
Thy misery never shall leave thee.
Poor Heart !

DINNER GIVEN BY THE ARTISTS OF EDIN-
BURGH TO SIR HENRY RAEBURN, R.A.

[From the Scotch Papers.]

On Thursday, the 12th ult. the Artists of Edinburgh gave a
Dinner at Oman's Tavern, to Sir Henry Raeburn, for the pur.
pose of expressing their congratulations on the well-earned ho-
nour of knighthood lately conferred on him by his Majesty ;
Alexander Nasmyth, Esq. in the chair.

The cloth being removed, and the usual loyal toasts given, the
Chairman, in proposing the health of Sir Henry, said, it was
the peculiar happiness of the present generation of artists to live
at a time when society had attained such a pitch of refine-
ment, that a taste and feeling for the fine arts had become very
general, and under the benign influence of a Monarch, who,
to his other accomplishments, added 'a keen relish for the
arts of design,, and an ardent desire to honour and encourage
their professors. In bestowing the high honour on Sir Henry
which the company were met to celebrate, his Majesty gave a
pledge of the high estimation in which he holds the art, as well
as his regard for the artist. The company all knew well the
many excellent qualities that adorned the private character of
Sir Henry Raeburn, as well as his eminent abilities as an artist ;
and he was certain they would all most cordially coneur with
him in thinking that his Majesty, in bestowing this distinction
on Sir Henry, had selected a person in every respect worthy
of it.

Sir HENRY RAEB cr Rif, in rising to reply, observed, that he
was so overpowered by the kindness and respect that had been
shown him, that he was sure he should not be able to express
the half of what he felt. He hoped, however, they would
give him credit for his sincerity, when he assured them that
he considered this as one of the proudest days of his life, and
that he looked upon the esteem and regard of this meeting
as not less honourable than the distinction which his Ma-
jesty had been pleased to confer upon him. The latter was no
' doubt a compliment paid to his zeal and industry as an
artist, but the former never could have been obtained unless
he had otherwise conducted himself to their satisfaction. At
any rate, he held it to be impossible that he could have acquired
their approbation, if he had ever indulged in a mean or selfish
spirit towards any of his, professional brethren, or had at
any time withheld the praise that was due to them when their
works happened to be mentioned. Considering, then, that their
esteem and approbation was a testimony of high value, he ac-
knowledged that he was very proud of it, and that the recol-
lection of that day would be gratifying to him while he lived.
Recurringtagain to the honour which his Majesty had conferred
upozi ;him, he observed, that he did not consider it as given
to himself, but to the artists of Scotland in general, 'for the pur-
-1 pose of increasing their respectability, and stimulating their en er,
gies, and that he looked upon it as merely committed to his custody
for the good of the whole; and when the time should arrive,
which could not now be far distant, when he most resign
that, and every thing else in this world, be hoped his Majesty
would continue the honour among them, and would intrust it
to one who should be as much the object of their esteem and
regard as he had that day the pride and the pleasure of thinking
himself to be. In concluding, Sir Henry requested they would
allow him to express his thanks, by proposing health and hap-
piness, and honourable success to every one present ; and that
the cordiality which had so long subsisted among them might
never be interrupted.
During the evening many toasts appropriate to the occasion
were given. Among others, Sir T. Lawrence, P.R.A., and the
Royal Academy of London ; the memory of Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds ; the memory _of the late Alexander Oswald, Esq. ; Sir
John Fleming Leicester, Bart., and the patron of living artists
&c. &c.

The harmony and conviviality of the meeting gives a high idea
of the mutual confidence and good understanding subsisting
among the professional gentlemen of this city, all of whom (ex-
cepting two or three prevented by indisposition or otherwise) were
present, and eager to express their satisfaction at the occasion
which had called them together. We enter warmly into the
feelings of the artists on the honour that has been conferred on
them as a body in the person of Sir Henry Raeburn. He
has for a long period occupied the first place among the
portrait painters of his country, and the reputation he has
acquired with his contemporaries, by his eminent and well-
directed talents, while his works endure, will be amply ac-
knowledged by posterity. As an individual he has been uni.
formly distinguished by the mildness and gentlemanliness of his
manners; whsle, in'his relations with his professional brethren,
his conduct has been ever open, candid and liberal.

According to advices from Havannah to the
20th of August, and received by way of New
York, the coronation of the new Emperor, Fruit,
BIDE) took place at Mexico on the 21st of July.
WEYHILL FAIR.--This Fair, which is con-
sidered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest of all the
Fairs held in England for the sale of stock, will commence
to-morrow (Thursday). It is held annually. and lasts for
a more considerable period than any Fair in the neigh-
bourhood of the metropolis. All descriptions of stock and
produce are brought there, but not to be sold on every
day. To days are given for the sale of sheep ; two for
oxen ; two for cheese ; two for hops ; and so on. The prepa-
rations for, it occupy a very considerable area, about two or
three miles beyond Andover. Several lanes are formed by
the erections made for the occasion ; and there are a number of
houses by the road side, which are called fair houses, in which
different articles will be exposed for sale. These buildings are
not fitted up like common habitations. Though nearly the
same to look at, they are mere shells and the Fair over,
they will, according to custom, be immediately locked up and
kept empty, or at least uninhabited, till this period of the en-
suing year shall arrive. Weyhill Fair is a statute fair • and
men and maids usually resort to it in considerable numbers to
seek masters and mistresses for the ensuing year. They take
their stand in a row, and each carries something to indicate the
particular description of industry for which he or she is quali-
fied. The old custom, as represented in " Love in a Village," is
kept up without variation. The waggoner puts a bit of whip-
cord in his hat, the thrasher exhibits a flail and so with the rest
A great quantity of hops have been brought to Weyhill Fair
this year ; and a great show of cattle is expected. It is looked
forward to with some anxiety by those connected with the agri-
cultural classes, as they are in hopes that it will do something
towards improving prices, which are now complaine4 of as ruin-
ously low.
MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCE,—A young girl,
named MOF,FATT, residing with her friends in
Palmer's Village, Westminster, was to be mar-
ried to a young tradesman on Michaelmas-day.
The young man had taken apartments, purchased
furniture, and carried every other necessary ar,
rangement into effect, so that nothing remained
but the ceremony itself. On the very day the
intended bride was seized with violent illness,
which was soon ascertained to be a relapse of a
pleurisy she caught at Horsham about three years
ago ; physicians were procured, and under their
care she lingered until Tuesday morning last,
when she died, to the great grief of her parents
and fondly-attached lover.
