Me; POETRY.

Little FloWer ! how durst thou blow
'Mid the Winter's frosts and snow ?
billies, Roses, don't appear
At this season of the year :
And the Cuckoos, Swallows, stay
Till the frosts are gone away :
Long before the snow-drop's born
Underneath the aged thorn
Thou wast born our hearts to cheer
In the dull, declining year.

Little lovely stranger stay
With us till a warmer day';
Sportive then, in gambles gay,
Little lambs will round thee'play ;
Little flowers, of various dies,
Will attract thy little eyes ;
Little birds will hop and sing
On the hawthorn in the Spring ;
Little maids will then be seen
Gath'ring cowslips on khe green
Little boys will run away,
By the running brooks to play ;
Then let sweet SUSANNA stay
Till the frosts are far away..

Little Maiden, fare thee well !
I of other things could tell,
But still, in a first Address,
Many things we must repress.
Thou'rt the first to whom this year
I am writing, little Dear !
I'm the first that writes to thee,
„But e'er thou canst answer the
I may in the dust be laid.
Fare thee well, my little Maid !
Year'a Day, 1608

GREAT TROTTING MATCH FOR 290 SOVEREIGNS.
The Match between Captain CRANSTONE'S violet mare, and
Mr. BAY noes' Lancashire roan, took place yesterday over
four miles of ground on the Bromley road, for the above, each
carrying the Derby weight, Bst. 21b. Much money was ponil
big on the event, at even, but the horse for choice. The Hatch
was to trot against each Other sixteen miles, and to start at
different ends. It was done as follows : •

It was its fine a race as ever was seen. anti nicely won. It
will be seen, by reference to the figure,'" that the horse had
rather best speed, but his pace was uncertain—e3Cll broke once

EXTRAOR DI NARY TRAVELLER.-- WO learn
from I rkutzk (Siberia), under the date of the
21st of Sept, what follows :—We have at pre-
sent ocular evidence of a most unexampled phe-
ROMERO!). On the 16th of this month, Mr. JA at :s
HOLMAN, a Lieutenant in the English service,
blind since he was twelve years of age, arrived
here. lie has completed, without a guide,
this long and hazardous journey, which he
undertook with inconceivable courage. He left
England for Russia alone, furnished only with
some commendations to persons of distinction.,
Nevertheless, he performed this extensive journey
without experiencing any delay, which might have
been expected from the obstacles which musthav e
arisen from his blindness, and his difficulty in
expressing himself either in Russian or French.;
Somebody always accompanied him from one
town to another, serving as interpreter. lie writes
an account of his journey in English according to
the information which he collects. In doing this
he makes use of a writing machine, invented in
England, and used in several polytechnic schools,
lie is of small stature, about 30 years of age; his
countenance is open and agreeable. lie still
remains at Irkutzk, and endeavours to form an
intimacy with the principal inhabitants. Ho ex-
perienced great pleasure at finding some of his
countrymen here, with whom he could converse
respecting these regions.—(Letters from Peters-
burgh—French Ptliere.)

LITTLE LINS,
Addrattl to a Link Maiden, in the 45th 45th day of lar Age.
Little lovely stranger dear,
Welcome, welcome, welcome here !
Little Maiden, six weeks old,
Canst thou bear the pinching cold ?
But thy woolly mantle, warm,
Saves thy little limbs from harm.
