STA NZAS,
On drinking from a gold-rimmed Goblet of GARRICK, now
in the poste*sion of his Niece, Mni. OEoaa Gantqct.

BY M. CAMPBELL, LL.D. F.A.4.

I have drank from the Goblet that flow'd to the brim,
While the aoul of the Orator rose ;
I have sipp'd from the cup consecrated by him
Whose fame on Eternity flows—

And it flows in a stream undiminish'd and pure
Where the Bark of his SHAISPIKARE, in pride,
(High colour'd in beauties, that still must endure),
Is with Nature lasli'd cleft along side !

Oh, my oui thrill'd with ardour, I felt sweet delight,
And the wish rush'd o'er every thought,
That his Genius would visit my slumbers at night
And conic with.his eloquence fraught ;

And bring me bio glance—still resletless !--and pour
War my dull tubs of Vision his power;
And come that such numberless crowds might adore,
As acknuwletlied his worth in life's hour.

Ah, coase ye vain wishes !--,aspirings are vain !
Imitators, hear !—GAnalcK's no more !
" His like," SHAKSPEARE tells 113, ne'er see
again !"
Go, Nature! thy mirror deplore!

The Lord Mayor Elect is to be sworn into
<Ace at Guildhall cm Saturday, and, the 9th being~• on a Sun-
day, the procession to Weatnunster will be on 'Alonday the 106.
e understand that the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs and the
Committee have determined to issue no more dinner.tickets

than can be accommodated ; and they have determined wholly
to exclude evening admissions, by which the company have
been so incommoded upon tbrmer occasions, that persons of
distinction could with great difficulty, and sometimes not at
gain admittance into the ball-room : by the arrangement now
made, this inconvenience will be removed.
Vicrote..—The dismissal of the

Duke of Belluno (in French Bellelune) still ex-
cites interest. The origin of the title of this Duke
is very curious. When a lifer, he had acquired,
in some way or other, from his comrades, the

•
nick.name of Beau-soleil (fine sun), which he
retained after this advancement. When Napo-

leun created bita a Duke he was at a loss fur
socrie time for a title ; at length he said, " Come,
Victor, you have been Beau-soleil long enough,
we will now make Belle-lune One moon) of
you."

MtnlcAt. ANECDOTE.—Knx LONG, Emperor
of China, inquired of Sir GEORGE STAUNTON how
physicians were paid in England. When, with
some difficulty, he had been made to understand
how well physicians were paid by their patient
as long ►u► he was ill. Ho exclaimed—" Is any
man well in England who can afford to be ill ?,
Now, I will inform you how I manage my phy.'
sicians. I have four, to whom the care of my
health is committed ; a certain weekly salary is
allowed them ; but the moment I am ill their
salary stops till lam well again. I need not in.
form you that my illnesses are very short."

VAicAL.----Thy celebrated 13LAIS}: PASCAL is a
striking instance of early genius. lie wrote a

treatise on Sounds when only 11 years old. At
sixteen he published a treatise on conic sections,
which Descartes could not believe was the work
of a boy of that age. And when only nineteen he
invented his mathematical instrument, or scale,
for making calculations !
Messrs. PEARMAN, CONWAY, and DECAMP

have taken a trip to America. Our readers will
be gratified on hearing that llrs. PEAlilt kN is
entirely recovered from the effect of her accident,
without undergoing the reported amputation.
Fifty stage coaches make their entrances and

their exits every day at Brighton, and one thou-
sand persons per week, upon the average, are
supposed to be imported there from London.—
This is more than twenty times the number cal-
culated upon within th• same period only twenty
pars ago.
