POVERTY'S NEW YEAR.
(From the Censor, No. 1.)
Hark' the glad melody from yonder spire,
So gaily pealing its confused ding-dong:
With mirthful cadences, or booming fire.
Courting responses from the busy throng,
Their souls to cheer.

Ring out, ye harbingers of promised bliss—
For Want's keen agonies, what healing salve,
To feel a privilege so dear as this,
That hungry poverty may live and starve
Another year.

Yes! 'tis a messenger of joy to those
Who clothe in purple, and perfume the air;
But 'tis the warrant of increasing woes,
To wailing Indigence enthrall'd by care,
From shore to shore.
'Tis the sad requiem of twelve months' pangs
In Time's inscrutable abyss entombed,--.
Of twelve mouths' misery, through want's dire fangs—
Alas! of misery to be resumed
For twelve months more

Peal forth your melody—loud, loud ! and charm
Yon pauper skeleton with cheering tones—
see ! how he flourishes t.is withered arm,
And sucks foul marrow from half rotten bones,—
New strength it gives!
See in wild exstacv his eye-balls glare!
Note the rough 'fissures with his tears badewed;
Hark ! how he aspirates an earnest prayer,
And sobs so fervidly his gratitude,
Because he lives.

...
Britons, be merry then—shout loud and shrill :
What though potatoes or your bread should fail—
Gilead had anodynes for every ill,
Thrice-favoured Albion has her Union gaol,
The stay of Hope.
Theree care-curs'd Industry in peace may rest,
ak stones—pick oakum—on strong gruel fed ;
And worn out nature, by long toil hard pressed,
May end its struggles on an iron bed,
Not die by rope.
L s w g lab're
carrots —r, merr y lil—cheer smiles around,
aueh,
des—cabbage-stumps obstruct the Way 1
While mangold-wurtzel and beet-root abound—
And horse-beans, saw-dust, with clean bands of ha
Are piled en mass*. y,

Ileay'n• favour'd Englishmen, strong, bray., and bold,
Let your glad jubilees in chorus ring!
And yet remember, that in days of old,
Great towering- Babylon's half-witted king,
Was fed on grass!
But, hold ! ve olig .rchs, who close the door
Of nature's granary, to raise your rents;
Who preach philanthropy, but starve the poor,
'1" pay your mortgages and settlements,
Beware and fear.
't ime vet will vindicate what Truth decrees—
J idgment will follow for each heart you've wrung;
And you, in agony, may seek of these
A drop of water for your burning tongue,
Ere next new year.

LONDON :1843.—The following is the
official return made by the London Fire
Engine Establish-
ment of the number of tires in the metropolis during the
past year, viz. :—Totally destroyed and
!seriously damaged'
276 ; partially damaged, 431; total number of fires, 707
In addition to which there have been 87 chimneyas alarms
and 81 false alarms, making a grand total aam tires d
alarms during the year. This number is considerably alenes
than that of the year 1844 ; but the loss of life has been far
greater than has occurred for several years past, the num her
of lives that have been sacrificed by tire in 1845 being 19.
A report reached us yesterday from a generally
well-informed quarter, that the Marquis of Exeter and the
Marquis of Granby have resigned their appointments in
Prince Albert's household.—BriOten Guardian.
