General, in place of the late lamented Earl of Hopetoun, the
nomination has been lately submitted to his Majesty, who has
been most graciously pleased to approve of the appointment.
The Council have also appointed the Earl of Dalhousie and
the Earl of Elgin to be Lieutenant-Generals of the Royal

Marquis of Lothian. The Royal Company are to have an op-
portunity of receiving the Duke of Montrose, as Captain.

cure a hat for himself. This was immediately
furnished—hut when payment was offered Mr.
IL declined, saying, ' That all the hats he could
supply the La Fayettes with were paid for 40

years ago !!'
FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Considerable im-
provements are now making on the corner piece of
ground over Westminster-bridge where the much-
frequented place of worship is situated in aid of
the funds of that excellent Institution the Female
Orphan Asylum. The lease of the ground has just
expired, which was held at a very low rental.—
The Guardians of the Asylum have been obliged
to purchase the same of the City of London,
at the expense of 16,0001., and have found
it necessary to clear away the old buildings of the
Institution which were formerly the stables of the
Hercules Tavern. The buildings being found to
be in a very dilapidated state, it is the intention
of the Guardians of the Asylum to erect a hand-
some building suitable to such an Institution,
with a portico entrance to the Chapel next the
Southwark-road. The works are proceeding very
rapidly. The blank wall in the Kennington-
road will be taken down, and the ground let out
on building leases, as likewise the ground on the
Southwark-road which will join the new Asylum.
A Building Fund has been established towards
the said improvements, to which we heartily wish
success.

• POETRY.

ON A BEAUTIFUL LADY WHO WAS DUSINDACKID.
From eyes like Louisa's how sore is the smart,
Each glance gives a wound Time can never erase;
What infinite pangs doth such beauty impart,
So snowy her bosom, so lovely her face.
Look behind—O, how alter'd ! no symmetry there,
No Grace, but a vast ugly bunch in its stead ;
You would think, so well aim'd are the wounds of the fair,
Cupid sat there and shot his darts over her head.

IMPROMPTU
ON ONE WIIO WAS RUINED BY GAINING A LAWSUIT.
Whoc'er takes counsel of his friends,
Will ne'er take Counsel of the Law :
Whate'er his means, whate'er his ends,
Still he shall no advantage draw.
Justice in vain may urge her plea,
May show that all is right and fair;
The Lawyer, too, has had his fee,
And gain'd your snit—but left you bare.
