POETitt

LINES written by the SEA SIDE:-
One evening as the Sun went down;
Gilding the roorintains bare and brown;
I wandered on the shore
And such a blaze o'er ocean spread,
And beauty on the meek earth shed,
I never saw before.
I was not lonely dwellings fair
Were scatter'd round mid shining there
Gay groups were on the green
Of children, wild with reckless glee;
And parents that could child-like be
With them and in that scene.
And on the sea, that looked of gold,
Each toy-like skiff and vessel bold
Glided, and yet deemed still;
While sounds rose on the quiet air,
That mingling made sweet music theret
Surpassing Minstrel's skill.
The breezy murmur from the shore--
Joy's laugh re-echoed o'er and o'er
Alike by sire and child ;
The whistle shrill--the broken song—
The far off flute-notes lingering loug*;:
The lark's strain 116 and wild.
'Twas sunset in the world around—:
And looking inwards—so I found
'Twas sunset in the soul ;
Nor grief, nor Mirth, were burning theiei
But musings sweet; and visions fair,
In placid beauty stole.
Dut moods like these the human-mind;
Though seeking oft, may seldom find,
Nor finding, force to stay;''-
As dews upon the drooping flower,
That haiing shone their little hour,
Dry up—or fall away.
But though all pleasures take their flight,
Yet some will leave memorials bright
For many an after year ; • ,
This sunset, that dull night will shade-;-.
These visions, which must quickly fade— .
Will half-immortal memory braid—
For me, when far from here I

HAYMARKET TiIEATRE.—The first two per-
formances at this Theatre on Saturday night
were Match Making and, Figaro, both 'of which
were rendered very entertaining: The last piece
was Simpson and Co. which was so popular at
Drury-lane Theatre, and whiCh Mr. ELLISTON
has kindly allowed to be represented at this
Theatre. The parts of Simpson and Bromley
were supported 'by the original perfortriers,TEltltY
and COOPEIL, and they were too often Seen
and too much Oinked in those parts to need any
additional eulOgium. There was no want of
riled exertion on this occasion. The part, of
Mrs. Simpson, so well performed by Mrs.
GLOVER, was übt less effective in the bands of
Mrs. Gtunss who may fairly Tank as one of our
' very best comic actresses, and
,who was well re-
ceived. Miss-CHEsilm was Mrs. Bromley, and
she looked so well, and acted with such an
appearance of Unaffected devotion to her husband,
that if the caprice of mankind were not
notorious, it would be difficult to suppose that
such a Wife conld be neglected for a rival. Miss
LOVE was the Mrs. Pitzallim, and gave dna torce
and effect to the part: the Whole, indeed, ex-
cited warm appladse, in it gellled, NW by no
means a crowded audience. .

Miss M. THEE is now performing at Edin-
burgh, where her merits us an actress and a vocal
performer are duly appreciated, and of course are
highly admired.
DARING AND EXIENIVE RORRER.Y.—tate On
Saturday nights Or early yesterday in'orning, a
daring robbery war committed at the oil cloth
and umbrella warehouse, Corner of Southampton;
street, Strand. The thieves made an entrance
through the Central Mart, in Sodthaniptonzstreet,
by *Welt Means they obtained an easy access'to
the shop, by forcing a door. The villains stripped
the shop of all the umbrellas and parasols, in
number about three hundred, and several hun-
dred yards of oil-cloth.
MELOWIIOLY ACCIDENT.--On Friday even-
inr, bet Ween six and seven o'clock, two fine boys;
one about 11, the (Aker .9 years of age, sons of
Mr. Robert Henan of this city (Cork), and a
third named Roman, about the same age, while
amusing themselVes on the marsh adjoining
the Brick-fields road, Were unexpectedly sur-
rounded by the overflowing of the iipring
tide, and in endeavouring to escape from a high
bank ,on which they, stood, thtoUgh the water
where it was yet shallow, the younger Henan;
who had previously stripped for the purpose of
bathing, lost his footing, an& was,carried by the
current into the deep channel.. Ills brother im-
mediately endeavoured, to assist him, and while
both wete struggling with each other, were seen
by Mr. Edward Itonayne, from his house on the
adjacent hill, who immediately ran down, giVitig
the alarm in his way, and arrived at the spotlit time,
on his first dive, to bring up and save the elder,
both haVing stink together. Another. gentlernatt,Mr.
11. Barry, who had also seen the children froth a
distance, and rail to the place with Mr. R.Onayne,
dived several times, but the current having Carried
the body a considerable way from where it lied
first sunk, abotit2o minutet elapsed, notwi tlittand-
' ing thatsevera I boats had arrived in the in terval,be-
fore Mr. Barry succeeded in finding and bringing
it up. It was at first confidently hoped that the child
would be recovered,_ and the body was imme-
diately wrapped in blankets and conveyed to
the hotise of the Misses Cummins On the
road, who, assisted by all the families re-
siding in the neighbourhood, used every effort
that humanity and sympathy for the feelings
of the distracted parents, who, on hearing
of the occurrence had rushed to the place,
could suggest ; and whete during, three hours)
every exertion of profesSiOnal skill and talent
were perseveringly exercised by Dr. Thompson,
of the Medical Staff, a Medical gentleman named
, Cosgrove, who we understand is a stranger in the
city, Dr. D. Barry, and some other gentlemen, to
restore animation, but Unfortunately without suc-
cess. The other children had been taken to the
house of Mr. Bickerton, where they, received
every attention that benevolence aid kindness
could dictate on so melancholy an occasion.--
