POETELY.

THE LATE MRS. HARTLEY.
[The following Character of this departed Lady is extracted
from a Poem entitled "THE STAGE," written by JOIIN
TAYLOR, Esq.]
The Muse who knows that HARTLEY could controul
And sooth to sympathy the sternest soul,
Can ne'er forgetful of her worth remain,
But seeks her name to decorate the strain.
In Rowe's fine portrait of submissive woe,
That contrite yields to fate's relentless blow,
The wretched victim of a lawless flame,
By Pow'r's harsh mandate doom'd to public shame,
What eye to HARTLEY could a tear deny I
What breast so hard that could refuse a sigh !
Urg'd by the noblest glow of filial fire,
When poor Cordelia seeks her injur'd Sire__
Or warm with conscious honour's purest aim,
When Desdentona vindicates her fame,
Such magic graces o'er the bosom steal,
Her plaintive strains would make a Stoic feel.
Again, sweet Exile, grace a drooping Stage,
Again with nature's loveliest charms engage.
Lo! CRAWFORD wanders to another clime,
And YATES too soon must feel the stealth of Time ;
Then shall we own the triumph only thine,
Where dignity and tenderness combine,
In ev'ry gentle and impressive part, -
With pow'r resistless to subdue the heart.
To thee, when YATES shall seek the private shade,
The mournful Muse must fondly seek for aid :
By thee alone, dear wand'rer, then display
The melting force of her pathetic lay.

•,R* Mrs. HArtmEr was one of the most beautiful women
Of her time, as well as one of the most strikkig ornaments of
the Stage.

deer leaped over the gate, opposite Datchet Bridge, into the
Little Park, when he ran with great speed, the hounds bang
close up with him. The horesmen could not get admission
into the Park, he soon leaped over the high paling, came out I
again, and re-crossed the Thames; the sportsmen went over

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.,--About five o' :lock this
morning, three thieves broke into a house in
Houndsditch, an oil shop. An alarm was given
by the cry of " fire and thieves !" The servant
girl, who slept in the third story, heard the cry
of " fire :" she instantly jumped out of the win.
dow., and, on assistance coming to her, she was
found dead, and carried to the workhouse. A
young man in the house fired at. one of the
thieves, who unfortunately escaped, after having
his, hat, which he left behind him, shot through.
Since Mr. SIVEWIUGUT contracted for this Lot-
tery, the demand for Whole Tickets and the
higher description of Shares has exceeded all
former precedent, and it is' observed, many ap-
plications are made for Four similar Shares of
different Numbers : this arises from there being
more than 3 out of 4 all now sold en titled to re-
ceive back more than half the Money, after hav-
ing had the Chance of not only Seven Prizes of
120,000, but of the 2 Sterling Capitals attached
to the first-drawn Prizes; making an average value
of nearly `'6 per Ticket more, independent of the.
floating Capitals, on the first day. These advan-
tages prove the very cheap rate at which a per-
son muy adventure, whilst, should he be uestfc-
cessful, he Will have the chance of Five 20,000/. ,
Prizes afterwards, which is nearly twice as iflciny
as the whole number in the preceding LotterY,
DESTRUGTIYE Fl RZ. •—• Yesterday morning,
about five o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in
the manufactory of Mr. Bridgman, wholesale
tallow-chandler and melter, at the back of his
premises, Spicer-street, Spitalfields. Notwith-
standing the united efforts of several engines, the
whole of the back premises, including property to
the amount of 10,0001., were, in a short time, en-
tirely consumed. About 90 casks of tallow, of
eight cwt. each; 72 boxes filled with candles;
about 2,000 dozen pounds of dipt candles ; five
chaldronsof coals, with utensils, and instruments,
and warehouses, fell a sacrifice to the devour-
ing element. it appears that the fire first ap-
peared in the cotton loft, which the workmen
had left at an early hour in the morning. No
lives were lost; but Mr. Bridgman had a narrow
escape, as he ran into his counting-house to se-
cure his books and papers, and out of which he
had scarcely escaped, when the whole building
fell in with a dreadful crash. Three houses in
George's-street were completely gutted ; and the
situation of the weavers and ether occupants or
John-court, and the adjoining neighbourhood,
who were cutting their webs out of their looms,
and endeavouring, as far as possible, to save their
property,
was, for some time, both pitiable and
alarming. Fortunately the fire, was got under
before it reached them, and no further damage
was occasioned.
