HAYMARKET THEATRE.--.Mr. T. MewNri
Comedy of Who wants a Guinea Y was revived at
this Theatre on Saturday last, before a very nu-
merous audience. It was highly indebted to the
exertions of LISTON, TERRY, TAYLEtrit, and
VINING. The second piece was The Highland
Reel, and LISTON, in Shelly, uas most divert-
ingly ludicrous. ,

FRAMICFORT, Atm. 23.—The news of the liberation of
King Fertlinsnii, which was spread here by mercantile couriers
Eroin Strasburg before the arrival of the French journals, hail 1
but a slight' influence on the price of funds, and hence no effect
was produced by the non-confirmation of the intelligence. In
the course of the week the several kinds of stock have expe-
rienced but slight variations, but it is evident they will all have
a tendency to rise, notwithstanding the efforts of speculators to
keep them down. We hear various statements of the profit
which Rothschild is said to have made by the late French loan.
Some make it amount to 12,000,000 francs. According to
other accounts, which seem more worthy of credit, this house,
preferring the certainty of a moderate gain to the
of a greater, had disposed of almost the whole of the loan by
subscriptions, and contented itself with a profit of fotir millions.
On this, as on former similar occasions, this great' house has
given to its numerous clerks a liberal -licknoivledgnient of their ,
zeal in its service. The sum divided among th'eni as a douceur
is stated at 150,000 francs, of which those in the establishment
in this city are said to have received 40,000: We may form
some idea of the extensive and important business of this
house, and of the attention with which it manages its affairs,
when we learn that it has three light vessels that constantly
sail backward and forward between Calais and Dover, in
order to convey to the houses in Paris and London reci-
procally the earliest infbnnation of all important events in
those t*o cities affecting the price 'of the funds. On this
occasion people recollect how careful their house has always
been in former times to obtain early information, and adduced,
as an instance, that in 1815 it received information of the sue-
. cussful .issue of the battle of Waterloo (which it wits reported
had been lost) six hours before the Government received the
official dispatches from the field of ,battle. A traveller who
has arrived here from England direct, states that when he
landed at Calais there was a vessel ready to sail for England,
the whole cargo of which consisted of gold, and was consigned
to 31r. Nathan Von Rothschild in London. It is said that
there is now very little gold in circulation in France, the coin
having been exported both in this manner and by remittances
to Spain. Though some circumstances have arisen to delay
the final conclusion of a Concordat between the See of Rome
and the Protestant. Governments of Germany, interested in the
establishment of Catholic Archbishoprics of the Upper Rhine,
those Governments have not lost sight of this object, and we
are infbrmed, on good authority, that the conferences will soon
be renewed here. Baron Von Schniits Grottenberg, Am.
bassador from 'Wurtemberg at Munich, who was formerly sent
to Home on this business, is now here to attend the conferences,
and, it is said is only waiting for the special instructions of his
Court to open them.

His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE
inspected the Royal Marines, and Royal Marine Artillery last
Saturday, on Chatham Lines. His Royal Highness is to re.
main at 'Chatham four days, during which splendid dinners
will be given by the Admiral, Sir B. If AILOWELL, Colonel
Sir A. CfintsTlE, and the Officers of the Itoyal Marines and
Royal Artillery.
Letters of the 12th of Atigust received yester-
day from St. Lucar, mention that the Spanish
Patriot, the -English vessel detained by the
French squadron, for breach of blockade, has
been released- by order of , the French Admiral.
The captain visited the Admiral's ship to ex-
' plain the state of the. case, and having proved by
his papers that he left England before the noti-
tication of the.blockade had taken place, the
order for the release of his vessel was issued int.'
mAiately. He was treated with extraordinary
politeneSs.by Admiral Hamelin, who insisted on
his remaining to dine with him.
Sir JOHN COXE HIPPISLEY is making experi-
ments at Cowes, with a large boat, which is
moved at the rate of ten miles an hour, by means
of 'six paddle-wheels,• worked by st. hand-winch
for the purpose of proving hoW far this descrip-
tion of mechanical power is applicable to use in
gaols ; in order to do away with the Tread-mill,
against which the worthy Baronet has strong ob-
jections; as being injurious to health, particularly
in the case of females.

Captain KOTZEBUE has justified himself fully
against the reproaches which had been made of
not having pushed his discoveries far enough in
the voyage he made in the Rurick. It is now
proved that the weakness of his vessel and a se-
rious illness, checked his ardent and enlightened
zeal. There is no longer any hope of finding a
passage by Gulf Kotzebue, but in doubling Icy.
Cape, or in pushing straight forward towards the
Pote,(Journal des Debuts.)
This morning a man, dressed very fashionably,
called at the residence of Lady LINDSAY, in
Leicester square, and inquired of the maid ser-
vant if her Ladyship was within. On being told'
she was not, he said ha would go up stairs into
her apartments, and leave a note for her. The
servant incautiously permitted him so to do, and
shortly after he went away. When her Ladyship
came home, she found that her purse had been
stolen from a small depositary, containing gold
and bank-notes to the amount of 1401., by this
supposed gentleman, a description of whoa has
`been sent to all the police offices.

POETRY.

On Mr. M'Amitat's Yew Plan for repairing Mc !Lads,
breaking the stones.
M'A dani surely merits praise.
Who former systems spurned,.
And who, resolved to " mend our ways,"
Now leaves "no stone unturned."

THE LAST MAN.
witurrEsr BY T. CAMPBELL.
ll'rum the New Monthly Magazifiel
All worldly shapes shall melt in gloom,
The Sun himself must die,
'Before this mortal shall assume
Its Immortality ! •
I saw a vision in my sleep.
'That gave my spirit strength to sweep
Adown the gulph of Time !
I saw the last of human mould,
That shall Creation's death behold,
As Adam saw her priniell
The Sun's eye-had a sickly glare,
The Earth with age was wan,
The skeletons of nations acre •
Around that lonely man !
Some bad expir'd in fight,—the brands
Still rusted in their bony hands;
In plague and famine some !
Earth's Cities had no sound nor tread ;
• And ships were drifting with the dead
To shores where all was dumb !
Yet, prophet-like, that lone one stood,
With dauntless words and high,
That shoOk'the sere leaves from the wood,
As if a storm pass'd by,
Saying, we are twins in death, proud Sun,
Thy tete is cold, thy race is run,
"rig Mercy bids thee go.
For thou ten thOusand thousand years
Hast seen the tide of human tears,
That shall no longer flow.
What though beneath thee man put forth
Ills pump, his pride, his skill
And arts that made fire, flood, and earth,
The vassals of his will ;
Yet mourn I not thy parted sway,
Thou dim discrowned king of day : •
For all those trophied arts
And triumphs that beneath thee sprang,
lle.ird not a passion or a pang
Entaird on human hearts.
Go, let oblivion's curtain fall,
• Upon the stage of men,
Nor with thy rising beams recall
Life's tragedy again.
Its piteous pageants bring not bark,
Not waken flesh, upon the rack
Of pain anew to writhe;
Stretch'd In disease's shapes abhor'd,
Or Mown in battle by the sword,
Like grass beneath tile, scythe.
E'en I am weary in yon skies
To watch thy fading fire;
Tot of all senseless agonies,
Behold not toe expire, •
My lips that speak thy dirge of death—
Their rounded gasp and gurgling breath
To see thou'shalt not boast.
The eclipse of Nwure spreads my pall,—
. The majesty of Darkness shall
Receive my parting ghost !
This spirit shall return to Him
• That gave its heavenly spark ;
Yet think not, Sun, it shall be dint
When thou thyself art dark !
No ! it shall live again, and shine
In bliss Unknown to beams of thine,
• By Him recalrd to breath,
Who captive led captivity,
Who rolib'd the grave of Victory,—
And took the sting froM Death !
Go, Sun, while Mercy holds me up
On Nature's awful waste,
To drink this last and hitter cup
Of grief that man shall taste—
On tell the night that hides thy fare,
Thoui saw'st the last of Adam's race,
On Earth's sepnchral, clod,
The dark'ning universe defy, "
To quench his•lnunortality;
Or shake his trust in God !
