ENGLISH OPERA 11,GGSE,----1 he new piece, en-
titled The Swing Bridge, the farce of Gretna
Green, and that of The Poor Soldier, were re-
presented again last night, and very well re-
ceived by a numerous audience.
N ENV ARGYLL Roosts.—Mademoiselle SCHAU,-
aoni, the little musical prodigy whom we men-
a few days ago, had a. Concert last night in
these Rooms, and the wonderful skill and taste
which she displayed in her performance on the
piano•forte fully justified all that bad been said
in favour of her talents. She first took part in a
Quintetlo, in which she acquitted herself with so
much ease and precision as to excite the surprise
and admiration of all the Professors, as well as
of the audience in general. Her second per-
formance was a Concerto on the piano-forte, with
variations, expressly composed by KALKHRENNER
for this occasion, and she again excited universal
astonishment and applause. We are assured that
this juvenile wonder is but a little turned of nine
years of age. As this extraordinary infant was
the great attraction of the night, and as the rest
of the Performers, vocal and instrumental, are
well known to the public, we need only add, that
a Madame CASTELLI made her first appearance
here in public as a singer, that she acquitted her-
self with very great ability, and that the Concert
in general received the warmest applause from
a very numerous audience.

POETRY.

LINES

Supposed to be addressed to a Candidate for admiuion into the

FEMALE PENITENTIARY.
POOR trembling penitent! we bid thee come,
Tho' sore with guilt and misery oppress'd ;
'We lead thee to this quiet virtuous home,
The refuge for the weary and distress'd.

fere thy petitions may in secret rise
To Him who deigns the sinner's plaint to hear ;
le will not scorn thy deep-repented sighs,
Nor view unmoved thy penitential tear.

Can Irirtue hear this child of sorrow pray,
And bid the trembling suppliant ask in vain ?
Tho' far from honour's path .sbe went astray,
She longs to tread the way of peace again.

Poor Outcast ! to thy tender parent's. heart
How oft thy infant form was gently prest !
How oft a mother's tear of love would start!
And dew•the babe she cradled in her breast!

Her waking dreams were all of joys to come,
When cherub infancy should pass away;
And Mary, deck'd with nature's softest bloom,
Should every virtue of the heart display.

The rainbow's tints not half so beauteous seened
As those loved scenes Hope's fitiry pencil drew ;
While her rapt soul with all the future tecuAl,
And Mary smiled, to prove the vision true.

But, Human Bliss, how transient is thy day !
And Hope, how vain tby brightest prospects are !
The fairest blossom soonest fades away,
And joy itself is fruitful of despair.

What now thy mother's sorrow can assuage?
What to her weakness miuister relief ?
Mary, 'tis thine to cheer her drooping age,
'Tis thine to soothe, for thou halt caused her grief.

No more a guilty wanderer shalt thou rove,
Tltine own abhorrence, and the •corn of men !
A penitent restored, a parent's love
Shall weeping greet her long-lost child again.

The love from which our hopes of pardon flow,
Which calm'd our fear, and seal'd our peace with Heav'n.
Forbids us to refuse thee, child of woe!
By pleading, we ourselVes have been forgiven.

BON MOT OF HIS LATE MAJESTY.--When
Judge DAY returned from India, the Minister represented
to his late MAJESTY that Knighthood would not only be
acceptable, but that it was an honour to which the Judge
was entitled. " Poh, poh," said his Majesty, " I cannot turn
day into night; it is impossible." At the next Levee, which
was about Christmas, his • Majesty was again entreated
to. knight Mr. Day. The King enquired if he was married,
and was answered in the affirmative. " Well, well" said the
good-natured Monarch, " then let him be introduced, and I
will work a couple of miracles; I will not only turn Day into
Knight, but I will make Lady Day at C/i7

Tuesday morning at eight o'clock, the remains
of the late Countess Dowager of CARDIGAN were removed from
her house in Seymour-place, for interment in the vault of the
Earl of Waldegrave's family, at Navestoek, in Essex. The body
was inclosed in a coffin of rich Genoa crimson velvet, gilt nails,
with heraldic ornaments, and plate, on which was the follow-
' ing inscription :—" Elizabeth, Countess Dowager of Car-
digan, died June 23, 1823, aged 65 years." The fune-
ral procession was preceded by four mutes on horse.

IPSW ICH, JUNE 30.—Tlin degree of LLD. hos
been conferred on Mr. Rwitann HAnnrsow BLACK, son of
the late Itev..Tottx BLACK, Of Woodbridge, in consequence.
of the estimable works he has lately published connected with
Education, viz. " The Student's Manual, or Etymological anti
Explanatory Dictionary of Words derived from the Greek and
Latin Languages:" " The Phartraceutical Guide, or Medical
Latin Grammar;" " The Parent's Latin Grammar," &.c.
Tuesday being the Festival of St. John the Baptist, about
thirty of the Members of • the lodge Edinburgh St. .James' sat
down to an elegant dinner, in Mrs. Thomas's Tavern, at the
Cross, R. W. Master Kirkham in the Chair, when the day was
spent in that happy and convivial manner which has ever dis-
tinguished
the meetings of this lodge.—(Banburgli Courant,
June 26.)

On Thursday the 26th inst. the eloction of a
Clergyman for the Union Chapel of Ease, Aberdeen, in place of
the deceased Rev. David Sim came on there. Our readers are
aware, that the former election having been disputed, a re-
ference was made to the last General Assembly. That venera.
ble body, after a good deal of discussion, ordered a new
election to take place, and pointed out in their sentence those
persons who were qualified to vote. A letter was read from
Mr. Menzies, declining his nomination as a Candidate on
this occasion, as he considered himself already duly elected
at the former meeting, and intimating his intention of con-
firming the same in a Court of Law. The electors, how.
ever, not judging it agreeable to the remit from the
' General Assembly, that any of the candidates should be allow.
ed to withdraw, put them all in nomination, as on the
former occasion—namely, the Reverend William Lyon, from
Glammis ; the Rev. William Menzies from St. Andrews; and
the Rev. Thomas Doig. The • election having accordingly
been proceeded with, Mr. Lyon was elected clergyman by a
great majority.—.there being 1611 electors for him-15 for Mr.
Alenzies—and 1 for Mr. Doig.
The Duke of ATHOL!,)on behalf of himself and
the Lord Bishop and Clergy of the Isle of Man

has offered to cotnmute the entire tithes of the
island for 6,0001. annually.
A few days ago, a female child, about 7 years
old, named Stringer, fell into a well, upwards of 70 feet deep,
in St. John's Place, and was safely
_extricated without hav-
ing received material injury. What renders the above
escape more extraordinary, and places it ahnost on a par with
the miraculous, is, that there were .double buckets to the well,
consequently one was at the bottom, against which it can
scarcely be conceived as possible that the child should not have
fallen.—( Brighton paper.)

A LESSON roit DurcisTs.—Two friends liap.
pening to quarrel at a tavern, one of them,
a man of a very hasty disposition, insisted
on the other's fighting him the next morning.
—The challenge was accepted, on condi.
tion that they should breakfast together, pre.
vious to their going to the field, At the house
of the challenged. When the challenger arrived
the next morning, according to appointment,
he found every preparation for breakfast,
and his friend, his wife, and children, all ready
to receive him. Their repast being over, and
the family withdrawn without any hint of
the fatal purpose having transpired, the diar
lenger asked the other if he was ready
to attend ? " No, Sir," replied he, " not
till we are more upon a par ; that amiable
Woman, and those six innocent children, who
just now breakfasted with us, depend solely
upon my life for their subsistence; and till
you can stake something equal, in my estimation,
to the welfare of seven persons, dearer to me then
the apple of my eye, I cannot think we are equal-
ly matched."—" We are not indeed !" replied
the other, giving him his hand, and they became
' firmer friends than ever.
