SONNETS.
BY HENRY FRANK LOTT.
MORNING —(BIIOOTER'S HILL, KENT.)
God of the universe ! the humblest lyre
That at creation's charms e'er woke a string
Vibrates before thee, now the sable wing
Of night folds up, as yon pale gleam of fire
Shoots up the orient : and the woodland choir,
From off their plumes the night-dew fluttering,
Full in the ear of new-born morning sing ;
But only sing ;—I warble and admire,
And deem ms happy that mine early toil
Leads me to gaze on the magnificence
Of such an hour as this—impressed the while
That I'm more blest than he whom indolence
Lulls on a bed of down—where morning's smile
In vain might seek to pierce his curtained sense.
EVENING.-030XLEY ABBEY, KENT.)
'Tis June's most tranquil eve, the far off west
Is gorgeous with the day-god's slow decline;
And beautifully his bright beams fringe and line
The heaped•up clouds that pillow him to rest.
Now wakes the poet-feeling in nay breast.
Freed from the smoky city's dull confine ;
Renewing fealty to the sacred Nine,
At sight of landscape in such glory drest.
Spirit of Beauty ! that, enthroned around,
Pour'st thy warm influence to the inmost heart,
Behold me worship on this holy ground,
That thou createst by thy potent art ;
Transfixed in wonder, in enchantment bound,
I'll linger here until thou dost depart.

MASTER BOOT AND SHOEIKAIL.ERS' PROVIDENT
INSTITUTION.—Yesterday evening a meeting of the
members and committee of the above society was held
at the Freemasons' Tavern, for general business. The
report congratulated the members on the steady progress
which was being made. The funds for the purpose of
affording relief, by way of annuity, to aged and decayed
members, their widows, and orphans, amount to 2,200 L,
and a building fund for the erection of an asylum, to
3,100/. There are at present six annuitants on the
funds—the males receive 20/. and the females 15/. per
annum.

THE ROYAL FREE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday evening
a meeting of the governors and committee of manage-
ment of the above hospital, was held in the Board-room,
Gray's Inn-lane road; the Rev. Dr. Rice in the chair.
The report stated that during the past week mar 700
new cases of diseased and utterly destitute persons had
been received as in and out patients. Two large wards
are at present closed from want of funds, the institution
having been long encumbered with a heavy debt, gradu-
ally in the course of liquidation. The resources of the
hospital compel the committee daily to refuse admission
to many deserving cases. The number admitted during
the past year was 21,393 out and 628 in patients.
BATHS AND WASHHOUSES FOR TUE Poon.—The
committee of the above excellent charity, situate in
Glasshouse-yard, East Smithfield, yesterday made their
third annual report, which states that the establishment
is highly valued by the poor, as proved by the ardour
and anxiety with which its gratuitous benefits are
sought, it having been found that amongst the numbers
who continually flock to the establishment, many have
purposely journeyed the distance of five, six, and s, ven
miles. During the past year the bathers were 33,655,
and 34,843 poor women had washed and dried the
clothes of themselves and families, and 12,610 had
ironed. The institution had also gratuitously furnished
many hundreds of the poor in the crowded and wretched
localities in the neighbourhood of East Smithfield with
whitewashes, chlorides, &c., for the purpose of cleansing
and purifying their abodes, together with loans of pails
and brushes, which to a great extent had prevented the
spread of fever. The receipts of the year (367/. ss. lld )
have been considerably exceeded by the expenditure.
NARROW ESCAPE OF LORD JoHN RUSSELL.—On
Thursday the 6th instant, Lord and Lady John Russell
and two of their children left Campbell's (late Gibb's),
Golden Lion Hotel, Stirling, for Edinburgh. Short as
the distance to the railway station is (not above 300
yards),
.Mr. Gibb, to show respect to his Lordship,
drove him tthither from the hotel in a four-horse car-
riage. Al, hen at the station, his Lordship had a very
narrow escape, which was not referred to by the local
papers. The up trains, or those going south, travel upon
the line furthest from the station-house, and as his Lord-
ship had arrived just at the time advertised, he lifted his
youngest child, and proceeded in a thoughtful mood to
cross io the side for the up train passengers. But it

THE QUEEN AT PRESTON.
It is to be feared that during her Majesty's brief
sojourn at Preston, on Saturday week, no , very
favourable impression was made upon the royal mind
by such specimens of the manners of the populace as
' were there offered her. According to the Preston
Guardian, the assembled Prestonians gave her
Majesty such an idea of Lancashire decency, as
she might have expected from even the roughest
shod boors in her dominions. It was her
Majesty's intention, during her journey from Perth
to London, to have partaken of some slight re-
freshment at the Preston station, and preparations
were made accordingly. Our contemporary shall
show us why this intention was abandoned; and how
her Majesty was driven from Preston, and denied
that peaceful and respectful accommodation, from
which no other lady in the kingdom would any-
where else have been debarred :—" The carriage
containing her Majesty," says our contemporary
" drew up a few yards before reaching the open
space, and though this afforded many of her
loyal subjects a very close view of herself, the
Prince, and children, the circumstance proved fatal
to the arrangement which had previously been made.
The people were standing on forms where the
royal carriage stopped, and some of them must have
had their heads nearly through the window. This
state of affairs was soon remedied, by drawing the
train on a little, but in the meantime the assemblage
on the other side of the station became somewhat
clamorous, and many, unable to bear the idea of not
' seeing the Queen,' whilst she was so near, even
commenced climbing over the carriages. These cir-
cumstances combined, appeared to alarm her Majesty,
and after ordering that the people should be
removed from the tops of the carriages (for some
of them had actually attempted to lean over, and
so peep into the compartment occupied by royalty),
she signified that she would not get out, on account of
the crowded state of the station. However, it must
not be supposed that her Majesty was not well re-
ceived; on the contrary, she was greeted with much
warmth from first to last, and it was only those who
could not get to see her that were at all riotous."
"At all riotous !" The description is at least in
keeping with the scene ; and the two together cannot,
we venture to say, be paralleled in the whole
history of her Majesty's progresses.--Lancaster
Guardian.
