Nniiirs WAR SONG*
MRS. II MAWS.
.(From Parry's fVetth Melodist.)

SW ye the blazing star ?
The heavens look down on Freedom's war,
And light her torch on high I .
Bright on the dragon-crest •
It tells that Glory's wing shall rest,
When warriors meet to die !
Let Earth's pale tyrants rc.ad despair

And vengeance in its flame.
Hail ye, my bards! the omen fair
Of conquest and of fame,
And swell the rushing mountain-air,
With songs of Olyndwr's name.

At the had hour of night,
Marked ye how each majestic height

Burn'd in its awful beams !
Red shone th' eternal snows,
And all the land, as bright it rose,
Was full of glorious dreams !
Oh ! eagles of the battle, rise !
The hope of Gwynedd wakes !
It is your banner in the skies,
Thee' each dark cloud which breaks,
And mantles, with triumphal dyes,
Your thousand hills and lakes !

A sound is on the breeze,
A murmur, as of swelling seas !
The Saxon on his way I
Lo ! spear, and shield, and Lulu,
From Deva's waves, wit\l lightning glance,
Reflected to the day !
Rut who the torrent-wave compels
A conqueror's chain to bear ?
Let those who wake the soul that dwells
On our free winds, beware !
The greenest and the loveliest dells
May be the lion's lair !

Of us they told, the seers
And monarch.bards of elder years,
%no walk'd on earth, as pow'rs !
And in their burning- strains
A spell of might and mystery reigns,

To guard our mountain towers !
—in Snowdon's caves a prophet lay,
Before his gifted sight -
The march of ages pass'd away.
With hero.footseps bright,
But proudeht in that long array
Was Glyndwr's path of light !

.11n.Attraxt:TtiY'S31sercit TO TUE GOT)! MILE-STONE
ON THE Now vu ROAD, AND RACX TO ST, GII.rS'S
Couacki.--Thia amateur pedestrian started yesterday from
St. lea's Church, to go to Huntingdon and back, one hun-
dred and twentyAiur miles from the place of starting, in
thirty hours, for a trilling sum, but heavy bets were pending
on, the issue of the event. He did six miles the first hour, five
'the second, and five and a half the third when he halted' to
breakfast off a roasted fowl and wine and water. He started
again, and travelled for three hours at the rate of something less
than five miles an hour. When our informant left him, hi was
resting at 4 miles, atter eight hours and a half work, which
appeared a pleasure to him, rather than a toil. He travels in
flannel, with thick shoes.

Simon:la.—Lord Palmerston entertained a shooting party
last week at Hornseyvc and afforded them excellent Sport. The
guns of the following Noblemen and tlentletnen—Lords Pal.
merston and Atalmesbury, Right lion. W. S. Bourne, J.
Fleming, Esq.', IV'
. Sloane Stanley, Esq. and Captain
Bowles—bagged on Thursday 139 head of game, on Friday 110,
and the result of Saturday's sport made the aggregate number
killed in the 3 days exceed MO head. llis Lordship's manors
are abundantly stocked with game; and so tame are the ?hest-
sants, that in a coppice near Whitt:nap, where the keepers feed
them, they are surrounded by the birds in the same manner as
they would bebrpoultry in a farm-yard : a circumstance we
believe almost without precedent.

We have the satisfaction to state, that the con.
terns of the Regent's Canal continue to improve
in a degree that must he highly gratifying to its
proprietors, the tonnage for the past year amount-
ing to upwards of 266,01 X tons, being an increase
of nearly 110,000 tons beyond the tonnage of the
year preceding.
In the present slippery state of the footpaths,
we would particularly recommend to housekeep.
ers to strew ashes or sand in front of their re.
spective houses. From the want of this caution
several accidents occurred yesterday evening.
MELANCHOLY ACOIDENT.—OO the forenoon of
Tuesday se'nnight, Mr. Aaron Young, of Loan.
end, in the parish of Norham, farmer, and his
servant, Elliot, a lad about 17 years of age, were
unfortunately drowned in the Whitudder, at Blue-
stoneford. Mr. Young, his wife, and Miss Bell
(his niece), were returning from a visit at Fair-
law, and having come to the ford, the ladies were
alarmed at its appearance, and resolved to go
up to Allanton and cross by the boat, giving
directions to the servant to meet them on the
other side with the cart. Off' they set accord-
ingly, and Mr. Young, who was on horseback,
and the lad, ventured into the ford, which was
gorged with ice, and which being put in mdtion
by the horses and the cart, came tion in such
quantities andiwith such force as to upset them all.
The body of Mr. Young was picked up soon
after, near Edington Milt, but that of the stir-
rant was not found tilt next day. The horse
Mr. Young rode escaped, but the one in the real
was drowned.—( Edinburgh Courant.)
