A IPAlttilit, TO BE SPUREN EY THE AUTHOR, DRESSrb IN THE
GARB-OF A BREWER'S PORTER, ARMED WITH sin cor, &et.
" The Dr-dikes Lama the Aran-iron gives
My name is tpan Hertford-Hills
Div father kept his house; a Brewer rich,
Whose,constatit cares were to increase his wealth;
And keep his only son, Myself, at school;
For I had'heard of speeches, and I loisg'd
To follow in the House some ndisr chief,
And BEDFORD granted what my Sire denied.
This House which opts to-night, large :IF my Brovhouse,
Had not vet raised its head, when en its site
A band of Irish Bricklayers from the street
Rush'd like mad dogs upon the walls
Wheeling the hricks and stones; the Renters fled
For SHERIDAN and PEAKE; I alone
With bended quill and book full of.Suincribers •
HoVer'd about the ruins, and marked
The road they went ;*—Then Lasted to some friend, '
Who with a list of fifty wealthy mcn
I met advancing. The Chair I took,
And soon o'erturned the debt ene,,,Nber'd foe ;
We talked and argued, ere a pound seas paid,
A promise from my tongue upset the Chief,
Who had that day the BON which 110 W I have
Returning home in triumph, I disdain'd
A Brewer's vulgar life; and having read
That our old KtNG had summon'il his gooti towns
To send new Mumnbers up to Adoofir's side, .
I went from this to Bedford, and 'lehind me left
A chosen Lord to follow in my steps—
YOU bald-head bigot who rottsoc;h: Ills MASTER.
(Pointing to Lord H—LL—ND'S box).
Journeying with that intent, I've rais'd this Tower,
And pride directed now am come to hear
The rabble shouts that greet my brazen name.

• This alludes to sundry barrows-full of materials, which
hi time early part of last year, were observed to wake pr.s..ess
out of the ruius every day.

A letter from Barbadoes, dated September 20,
'says :--=` This island never saw so disastrous a
Year as the present, The volcanic powder,
which fell on us on the Ist of May, is supposed,
in conjunction with the long drought, to have ge-
nerated swarms of worms, which have spread de-
vastation over the faCe of the island. We import
from the Dutch settlements in South America
plantains in small. craft, on which the garrison is
chiefly fed. It has rained for two or three days ;
we therefore expect a favourable change.
It is_stated in the Dublin Papers, that-in come-
quence of some Election dispute, a meeting took
place between Mr. BAGWELL and Mr. PRETTIE,
two of the Candidates for the County, of Tippe-
raiy ; but the Magistrates having interfered, the
parties adjourned to the County of Waterford,
where the Magistrates again interposed, and bound
them over to keep the peace. Cit:ll. MATMEW,
the ether Candidate for Tipperary, was very near
being involved in a duel with Mr. LAr.oa, a Ro-
man Catholic Gentleman, who 'supports Mr. BAG-
WELL. Mr. LALOE having conceived the manner
of General MATTHEW, on the Hustings, on the
first day of election, to have been offensive, sent
a message to the General, who, however, was
pleased to obviate any unpleasant feelings on that
subject, by consenting to declare to Mr. LALoa,
publicly, that be did not intend any offence, but,
•on the contrary, felt every respect for him. This
declaration the General accordingly made.
Four troops of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards
were on Saturday morning em barked at the Dock-
yard, Portsmouth; each troop consists of 73 men,
including the officers.

The new recruiting system, by which several
parties are employed. under one Oificer, was esta-
blished generally througl t .England am' Wales
on the 25th of the present month.

HotmAm and his daughter, notwithstanding the
state of affairs, have been performing with great
success at Boston, where they were very well re-
ceived. If COOKE should indeed have fallen a vic-
tim to his excesses, HoLsiAN will of course become
the chief ornament of the American Stage, and
rauxo to his own country in a situation that may
enable him to he indifferent to the caprice of Eng-.
lisli.Man4gers,
'Dreagful Catastrophe.—Last week an old man,
aged 70, and a boy, 12 years old, servants of Mr.
Isiorthcy, .of Ilaselbury, near Box, Gloucester-
shire, went to a field to fetch two balls and a cow,
to drive to a neighbouring fair one of the bulls
'being of, a very vicious disposition, and having
been provoked on the preceding afternoon by some
mischievous boys, immediately made at the lad,
and gored him most dreadfully. On the old man
running to his assistance, the .bull instantly left
the first object ot his attack, and set furiously at
the other, whom he also gored and threw to an
amazing height, and afterwards mangled his head
so shockingly, that no trace of features remained,
and the poor sufferer expired before any rescue
could be afforded him. The enraged animal was
then about to' renew his attack upon the boy, but
was prevented by the efforts of.a third person who
had come. to his help, but who would most likely
have suffered severely for his interposition had be
not escaped by ascending a wall, whence he de-
fended the boy by throwing stones at the bull un-
til the timely arrival of a fourth person armed with
a gun, Who shot the desperate creature dead on
the spot. Hopes are entertained of the boy's re-
covery.

A mare belonging to Mr. Rhodes, of Coleman-
street, trotted 16 miles within an hour, on Satur-
day, fur 100 guineas.
In the night of Tuesday last some villains broke
into the dwelling-house of the Rev. Dr. YIN-.
CENT; Dean of Westminster, at Islip, and stole
some articles of plate, a quantity of wine, &c.
The thieves regaled thenelves before they left
the premises with some prOisions and wine, with-
out disturbing any person in the house. Hitherto
the offenders have evaded detection.

Last night as the wind blew very high, and the
lamplighter of Blackfriars Bridge wsts mounting
his ladder to light the third lamp from the Al-
bion .111 ills, a powerful gust bleW him over, • and
he was unfortunately precipitated into the water.
As he was falling he .very audibly alarmed the
passengers; but, notwithstanding the utmost
alacrity of the boatmen to go to his assistance,
the body could nor be found till animation must
have been extinct.
