A very extraordinary effea was produced on
Tuesday, last week, at Rathfarnham, by the high

KING, of Grafton.streer, completely off the frame
upon which it was placed, and stationed it at some
distance, without altering the form, or doing it any
other injury but what may result from the removal
from one place to another.
Monday a race was run in the Phccnix.park, on

A Letter from Dublin, dated the 4th inst. states as
A fellow, named Culli,ran, wh.i had, under
variOus names, been an aftive agent of France since
the year 1797, and who was particularly notorious
and mischievous in the South f Ireland, by the title
of General Clarke, was some time ago taken near
Cashel ripper:ay), and transmitted to D,;blin
Castle, where he was lodged in tire Tower allotted
to State Prisoners of importance. Late last night,
he forced himself through the funnel of his chim.

MORNING,

Admired bAMON ! why the heaving sigh.
And the big tear that trembled in your rye
Did Mirth entice, and draw thy noble soul
To scenes of gay delight, or midnight bowl ?
Did Pleasure's charms the tedious hours enhance,
Or rising sun behold the sprightly dance ?
No :—'twas not Pleasure; fascinating charms,
Nor Beauty, which the tender bosom warms.;
'Twos not the dance, nor music's sweet controul,
Nor gay companions, nor rise midnight bowl;
No:—'twas StLINA caus'd the flowing tear,
To virtue, piety, and friendship dear;
" Around whose brow the heavenly Graces shine,
" So tall, so awful, and almost divine."

May fate propitious on thy steps attend,
Thou best of men, and ever stedfast friend ;
May ‘Visdurn guide, and Virtue's milder sway
Cheer the last confines of thy peaceful day ;
True to thyself, still truer to thy God,
lk,lidst storms of life—beneath Oppression's rod,
When you unfold the secrets of your mind,
May fair SELINA, true to worth, 1).. kind ;
And may you to each other ever prove
A bright example of domestic love ;
Through all the various scenes of varied life,
The tender Husband, and the faithful Wife.
Hampshire, Dec. 2.F, mSc3. A WLLL•WIZ;IiFR.

The following elegant fines were written by
Wm. Bosc AWEN, liSq. on three of his daugh,ets
being presented as Shepherdesses to the King and
Queen of the Fairies at Mrs. CRESPIGNY'S on
Twelfth Night.
TW)UGH not from fair Arcadian glades,
Or beauteous TamrE's far-fam'd shades,
With hearts sincere, these Damsels bring
Their homage to the QUEEN and KING,
And, at their bidding, will advance
To weave the light fantastic Dance.
But first they hail, with just delight.
The kind ENcuAN: FUSS of to-night;
Her who displays each ma& ic art,
That charms the sense, or wins the heart :
Who, liberal TAsr E and FANCY own,
May well adorn their brightest Throne.

THE THEATRE.--The Second Part of Henry the
Fourth was to have been represented last night, at
Covent Garden Theatre, but on account of the sud-
den indisposition of CooKE, that Play was unavoid-
ably postponed, and the substitute was The Provoked
Husband. The disappointment was of course inju-
rious to the theatre, but not to so great a degree as
might he expeEted. Bills were circulated over the
theatre, stating the necessary charge in the repre-
sentation, and the audience submitted without any
token of discontent. KEMBLE played Lord Town-
ley with a dignitid spirit and interesting emotion.
Miss 13moNrort was very spirited in Lady Townley,
and displayed much feeling in the last scene. SIM-
MONS performed the charafter of Squire Richard,
instead Of KNIGHT, who is on the sick list. SIM-
MONS made the part appear more like justice Greedy
than Squire Richard, and seemed to have borrowcd
a tiwdry pair of laced breeches from a booth at Bar.

The sterling old Comedy of The Way to Keep
one of the best produclions of the veteran
MURPHY, drew a crowded audience to Drury-lane
Theatre last night. Mrs. JORDAN played the -
drip Belsnozer with great animation and comic effeet•
She warbled the ballad of The Willow with genuine
simplicity, and accompanied herself with much
taste on the lute. She was universally encored.
BANNIsTER's Sir Bashful Constant, is a very plea-
sant Piece of quaint humour. The rest of the Cha-
raders were well sustained. The splendour and
variety of Cinderella, excited much admiration and
applause.

There was yesterday a Meeting of the RurvrEtts
of Drury-lane Theatre at the Crown and Anchor
Tavern, at which a long discussion took place re_
speeding the situation of that property. Mr. Sur_
acnAN attended, and gave a satishniory answer
upon most of the points submitted to him. It was
finally resolved, that a Committee of Renters should
be appointed in aid of the Board of Management.
Mr. Suglatnatv, in consequence of an inclination
from Mr. HOLLAND, that the exertion of his pen
would tend more than any thing to revive the at-
tration and improve the interests of the Theatre,
observed, that his mind for the last ten years had
been so much occupied that it was impossible for
him to think of dramatic composition, but that he
had now resolved to employ whatever talents he
might possess in that pursdt. This declaration
gave new life to the Meeting, and the company
separated in hope and good humour.
A grand Bali was given at St. Alban's last week
by the Reetor of the Parish, the Rev. Mr. GATE.
The Ball took place at the Parsonage house, which
has been recently rebuilt on an extensive scale,
furnished in all the stile of modern elegance.—
About Igo persons were invited, but the com-
pany present exceeded that number. The dancing
commenced at Lail after eight o'clock ; the Ball
being opened br the Hon. Miss GR Ir4sTom and
Captain KING; about twenty couple followed. At
twelve the comp:my partook of an elegant supper.
The Wincing, tee mmeneed at one, and concluded
about half after four. Among the gay circle were,
the Countess of ENC EA, Lord GRlmsrott, the
GR IM&TONS, Colonel COOPER, Major KEY..
FEL, &C. &C.

Mfg. JORDAN, the Akflress, haA taken a neat
house in So.ith.strer.t, Berkeley.squme.

,recent season.
