The following lines were addressed to Tflos.
MOORE, Esq. on the birth of his third daughter.
They are by the Eaton Stannard Barrett, of this
city, the author of the Heroine.
I'm sorry, dear Moore, there's a damp to your joy,
Nor think my old strain of mythology stupid,
When I say that your wife had ri right to a boy
For Venus is nothing without a young Cupid.,
But since fate the boonthatjou wished for refiiiiiS,
By granting three girls to your happy embraces,
Ile meant when yoit wandered abroad with the Muses,
That your wife should be circled at home with the Oraces.

By the last Russian mail we have received a
document which exhibits the state of the Bank
in St. Petersburgh. By this It'appears iltacthe
,circulation of Bank and its various Counting-
houses amounted last year to 80,079,035 rubles,
10 copecks, in paper money (Bank issignats) ;
the quantity of specie during the same time being
6,900,018 rubles, 31 copecks. After' deducting
the necessary expences of the establishment, the
net profit is. stated to be 1,810,615 rubles, 55
copecks, about 75,0001.. sterling. The new Mi.
!lister of Finance, and Member of the Imperial
Councils, Lieut.-General Vox CA trftig, deliver-
ed on the 9th July his opening speech (admitted
to be. equally luminous and satisfactory) on the
various and extensive means of credit enjoyed by
the Itussian Empire.
A CoMmercial Letter from Leipzig, dated the
24th of July, says, 460 n the 421st of the ensuing
mouth- the Elbe West India Marine Commercial
CompanN will hold their first general meeting at
INTeuStadt, near Volpe. Advertisements have op-.
;peered in our local papers, inviting individuals
who, may be conipetently qualified to enter the
sel'eice of the company as surer-cargoes to ac-
company the merchandise to America,'"where it

A Meeting took place at the Guildhall of
Plymouth on Tuesday lust, pursuant to public
notice, for the purpose of taking hot° considera-
tion the propriety of entering into a subscription
in aid of tbe Spaniards. The Worshipful the
Mayor, at whose request the Meeting wns
was invited to take the chair, but declined. Dr.
BuTTEn was then called upon to preside, which
he readily consented to do, and forthwith opened
the Meeting by a short appropriate address.—
Many eloquent speeches were delivered, and all
the resolutions were carried by acclamation. Be-
forethe Meeting broke up,
a subscription paper
was laid on the table, and several sums were
handed to the Treasurer.
On Thursday morning early, the body of a
female, apparently between
twenty and thirty
years of age, was taken out of the canal, near
the bridge in the City-road, and conveyed to
tslington bone-hews. She was dressed in a fa-
shim-misty made black silk gown,' nearly new,
and the rest of her clothes were of the best
kind.
A labouring man saw her throw herself
in, but, instead of endeavouring to assist her, he
rail for the drags, and by the time the body was
found, life 'WAS extinct. No property was feu"
upon her.

Died, at Lemmington Northumberland, at the house cfli4
brother-in-law, John Allan Wilkie,' Hsq., on the 29th ult.,
most deeply lamented, Thomas Davidson, Esq. of Newcastle-
upon-Tyne,_Clerk of the Peace, and of the Lieutenancy for the
county of Northumberland, and head Distributer of Stamps
for that county and Newcastle, aged 69. •The mildness of his
disposition, the placid urbanity of his manners t but above all,
that unvarying, yet meek and unassuming benevolence of
heart which always distinguishes. that best of , characters, the
practical Christian, will cause this Gentleman to be regretted,
long after memory of mere rank and. wealth can be expected to-
endure. With more than the ',rood qualities of many of his
equals, he was such a man as would have been admired and
beloved whatever situation in life he bad (a-cupied. His cha-
racter acquired no factitious brightness from his station, but
he gave to that station a lustre 'which' nothing: but the.inlittence,
of such virtues can communicate.

WATEIt ZIPOUT.—A celestial appearance of
- rather rare occurrence in this island was seen on thelnoralng
of Wednesday July 23; in 'the neighbourhood Of Illairgowrie.
The night had clear and, still ; buttes the morning advanc-
ed a large assemblage of dense ragged clouds was spread over
the sky, which slowly followed each other in shapeless masses
from west to east... There appeared evidently a tendency in se-
veral of the lower fragments of these clouds to the formation
of what at Rea is called a " waterspout." After some re.
peated attempts, 23 it were, a small protuberance from the
lower part of one of the darkest. masses was SNP .g7a-,
dually to lengthen, until it evendentlY assumed a form un-
like the usual- appearanc,es of the elouds.. In. abouti quarter:
of a minute it had reached a considerable Jength, and had
its side well defined, which at the beginning -of ,the formation
were jagged like the other clouds. It contitined. to lengthen,
and took a sloping direction, inelined apparently towards the
S. E. In less than a minute it had reached Its full size,
when it appeared in the form of large speaking trurn-
pet, to which waterspouts are usually compared, with its
large end in the cloud, and not melt inclined front the perpen-
dicular, but with a small bending in the middle. It became
more umspicuous, till at last it was distinctly observed to,
have a rotatory 'motion, from the small pkees of cloud of which
it was composed, of- great swiftness shifting their places from
one aide to the other; In about two minutes after its first for-
mation, and when it was seen most distinctly developed, it gra,
dually disappeared from the lower end, and was wholly dis-
persed, in A few seconds. The Writer of this remembers to have
seen a similar waterspout, also over land, in the neighbourhixel
Of Dundee., about ten years ago. They appearettilike in etas
respect to these observed at sea, with the exception of the water,
which these sometimes pour down.—(Cdeetontait Mercury. )
