A DIIIRAIAT SESSION3.—This morning the Ge-
neral Sessions of Oyer and Terminer and Gaol
Delivery, for the trial of offences committed on
the High Seas within the jurisdiction of the High
Court of Admiralty, commenced in the Old
Bailey, before the Right Hon. Lord SrowEr.r.
and the usual Officers. On the Court being pro-
claimed in the mual manner, the Grand Jury
were sworn. Lord SrowEt.t, then addressed
them, and in the course of his Charge observed
that the Calendar presented numerically nothing
of any very extraordinary magnitude, and the
offences were not of a very aggravated character,
although some of them were very serious. There
was a charge of piracy, to which he advised their
serious attention, and some cases of robbery :
on the whole, he was happy to say that the Ses.
bion would not have to deliberate upon crimes
remarkable for their atrocity. The Grand Jury
then retired, and the morning was occupied in
the usual preparatory forms of proclamation, &c.

Tuesday morning the Duke of CLArtENcE left
hi• residence at Bushey Park, on a visit to the
Marquis of WitqcucsTEtt, at his seat, Atnport
House, near Andover, Hampshire, fora few days.
Signor de BEGNIS and his beautiful and ac-
complished Cara Sputa have, it seems, left Bath,
and arrived in town, preparatory to the opening
of the musical campaign at Head Quarters in the
Haymarket.
The French Paper of Wednesday last, en-
titled L'Etoile, noticing the representation of
The Vespers of Palermo, mentions the nape of
the fair author, Mrs. HMAMS ; of the actors,
Messrs. Youtsa, C. KEIABLN, and ABBOTT;
and of the author of the Prologue; but in
reporting an opinion of the Ploy, it seems to
have relied on the most churlish of the London
Critics. The Play, however, it seems, will soon

be represented again, and then those Critics will
probably alter their opinion, as a new Actress is
to perform the part in which the other was so
unkindly treated by many of the audience.
MINA may be hourly expected in London. Ire

has written a letter to a: friend in town, in
which h;1 states, that he intends going to London,
but that be shall travel incog. ; and that as be
knows his friend's address, he shall soon have the
pleasure of calling upon him.
EFFECTS OF Fatawr.—On Wednesday night,
and when the storm was at its utmost violence, several tiles
were blown from the roof of the house occupied by a Airs.
Comm., in Barrow-street, Pentonville; and so greatly alarmed
was Airs. Cooke (an elderly lady), that she immediately drop.
pod; and although assistance was instantly given, she expired
from excessive fright. What makes the accident more dia.
tresaing, is, that Mrs. Cooke enjoyed an income of 1001. per
annum, which, at her death reverts to a distinguished character,
and leaves her aged husband without any means of support

POETRY.

HUNTING SONG.
On, on to the chase I for the bugle is sounding,
The wild deer is started, and flies like the wind,
Over brushwood and brake with fleet foot he is bounding,
Mocking Huntsman and hound, who toil panting behind.
He has clear'd the dark forest—the branches still quiver,
Where his wide-spreading antlers have toss'd them aside;
And the foam is yet white on the brink of the river,
Where, despirate and inAddensd, he plung'd in the tide.
But, alas, noble victim ! thy spirit is failing--
Thy struggle for life and for freedom is vain :
Thy courage, thy swiftness, thy strength unavailing,
Thou never shalt bound through the forest again !

SYNONYMY.
A Frenchman, who English would learn,
Got hold of an old D►ctionary;
But had not the sense to discern,
How the meaning of words often vary.
lie found that " to squeeze" and " to press,"
Were both pretty much the same thing;
So thus he a friend did address,
" Pray, squeeze that young Lady to sing."
Like meet of the French, he was npt
At trifles accustom'd to stickle;
Soon in a fresh hobble he got,
For he thought " to preserve" was " to pickle.
So thus he took leave at the door,
" To see you, dear Lady, I glad am :
And till we meet happy once more,
Kind-Providence pickle you, Madam !"
