WRITTEN IN' 17921
Vitttr, verdant Willow, ever weep,
And, spread thy pendent bronchus round
Oh may no gaudy tlovret creep
Along the eons4crated wound !
Thou art the Muses' rovirite tree ;
T hey lov'd the Bard 'who,. planted thcc.

TliC wintry blast assails in vain :
forkeillighening passes by
To stretch the oak upon the plain,
Whose tow'ting branches brav'cr the sky :
.The Muses guard. their favtrite tree ;
They lov'd the Bard who planted thee.

And nft, 'tis said, at ev'ning hour,
To Fancy'S eye bright forms appear,
To glide beneath the leafy bow's.,
While music steals on Fancy'scar :
The Muses haunt their favirite tree;
They lov'd the Bard who planted thee.
But all theUises' tender care

Cannot prolong the final date ;
Rude time will strip thy branthes bare,
And thou must feel the stroke of law :
E'en thou, the Muses' tav'rite tree,
Must fall like hurt who planted thee.*

But still the Muse will hovernear—
And planted there by hands unseen,
Another willow will appear,
Of pensive form, upon the green ;
To ace the spot, when thou, no more,
Shalt over-Arch the hallowed shore
G.
* The event, here foretold, has since happened, and the
tree is no more.

The revenue arising at this time from the new
Malt Duties is immense ; the increase on wetting
down of the Barleys .of the late growth is very
large, and this year, for the first time, falls within
the Government Duties.

A considerable number of the inhabitants of
Hackney, Clapton, Dalston, Shacklewell, and
Kingaland, are about to form themselves into an
Association for patroling their respective villages
in rotation, from the dusk of evening till a certain
hour of the night.
SPO RT IN C.---MNWARDEIS hounds, in Northam p-
tonshire, afforded one of the best day's sports al.
most ever remembered, on Monday sennight.—
They found a fox at Marston-Wood (between Wel.
ford and Harborough), at half past ten o'clock, and
went away immediately, as hard as hounds could,
run, over Sibbertofr, Hothorpe, Theddingworth,
Laughton, Lubenham, and Foxton, where he was
headed by some people coursing, to Gumley ;
owing to which the hounds slackened their pace a
little ; but on settling to their scent about half a
mile from Gumley.house, :they gOt 'vie'w again,
and ran as hard as ever over Saddington, Smeaton,
Kibworth, Fleekney, Wistow, Newton.Harcuurt,
Glenn, Oadby, Stoughton, Great Stretton, Little
Stretton, Norton, and to Galby, from whence they
slackened their pare a little Over Frisby to Billesdon,
and under the cover side of Billesdon.Coplow ; here
they came to cold hunting for near an hour, over Cold
Newton, Wellington, and Tilt on.on.the.Hill, where
they hunted up to him in a double hedge,row ; he
way hallooed back out of the hedge, from whence
they -ran very short for about 'a quarter of an
hour (during which they never broke view fa
more than a minute at a time), and killed him,
after a chace of about four hours and a quarter, in
thecoutse of which they ran through twenty.six
paiShes, and never were near a cover, except in
passing Billesdon.Coplow. The distance from Mars.
ton Wood to the farthest point the hounds ran to, is
coMputed by those who know the country well,
at 27 miles ; and the circle they made, from M to
miles. The hounds were left that night at Lord
SIMON'S kennel, at Bowden.
