POETRY:

SONG.
Let Asia's Despots sternly wield
A sceptre-o'er their slaveS,
And let the coward millions yield
Whate'er oppression craves ;
'Yet those who breathe in Albion's land
(So Heaven, unchang'd, decrees),
Dread no uplifted tyrant hand
To crush their liberties.
Cita n ail ! Britons, hail ! the Spring of Freedom comes;
With countless blossoms from thy patriot tombs.

When Europe4s dire Oppressor woie
The Crown his triumphs won •
From many a field of human-gore,
And 81,5narchiei Undone ;
Whilst covering nationsiient the knee
Before his demon throne,
Our Albion, independent, fry
The Tyrant fought alone.
Chorus.

And shall we perish by the arm
That laid ambition low ?
Shall dark misrule at home alarm
Our rights and freedom ? No !
Thoi.Sovereigns to enslave agree—
A hollow perjured crew,
The day they warred with liberty
The holy band shall rue.
Chorus.

O'er EuioPe, and the western wave,‘
Emancipation flies ;
Behold ! no more the patriot brave
O'er prostrate freedom sighs.
By Spain's example Albion sees
The world its hopes renew,
Tho' cheated of its liberties
At bloody Waterloo !
Chorus. J. W. P.

CIfF.LTENHAM Cnfcfcrr CLITB.---On :Wednesday the
members a the Cheltenham Cricket Club held their first Annual
Dinner at Yearsley's Hotel and Boarding house. On this .
oc-
casion, the entertainment, which consisted of every delicacy of
the season, did great credit to Mr. Yearsley—and afforded the
highest satisfaction to the Gentlemen assembled.—(Cheltenham
Chronicle.)

THE TnEATaz.:—The splendour with .which
the romance of The Exile has been brought for,
ward at Covent Garden Theatre has already
rendered it an object ,of public attraction, and
the house *as last night crowded with visitors.
Its dramatic pretensions, in point, of literary me-
rit, are of a very humble nature ; but as a vehicle
for good acting and magnificent scenery it is an
exhibition of. grandeur, beauty, and variety.—
YOUNG is the main prop, Miss Foova is an inte-
resting and beautiful !Heroine; Mrs. TENNANT
displayed more, self-possession, and sung with
great taste. The afterpiece, was Husbands. and
Wives, and it detained a eery large portion of
the audience, many of whom no doubt enjoy all
the happiness attendant on the married state, and
many who are probably very aimious to partake,
of its felicities.

MARGATE,' OCT. 1i3.-)Ve have here .a
dent,
,an
.extraordinary character, Mr. JOHN
who completed his 89th year on Satur-
day last, and is now in perfect health. This
'hardy veteran has been a warranted gunner
in the service sixty-three•years and a half.. lie
tired the first gun when Hawke received his 114 g;
and on the 14th of Oct. 1747, .was in the general
engagement with the French fleet under that
Admiral. The next action .was off Toulon under
Boscawen, in 1759. The last service was in the
taking of the Dutch .fleet,
.in the •year 1779.
Gyles was the first man at liatusgate 'Pier-head,
when the K i sailed for the French coast, and gave
his Monarch three hearty cheers• on the depar-
ture of the Royal Sovereign yacht. He walked
alone from this place without even the assistance.
of a stick, which, in fact, he never uses.
SwirnaLta.—A genteel looking man, about five feet seven
inches high; dark complexion, black hair combed smooth
over the fisrehead, well dressed, with a• blue great coat on,
-called at the shop of Mr. I'oaten, Hatter, 334, Strand, and
ordered a hat of the valise of 235. which he' tried on, and ap-
proved of, and ordered to be sent home with change for two
pounds, giving his address, Mr. How, 14,Cri.ven-street, Strand;
a boy was sent with the hat and Vs. change about 7 o'clock in
the evening ; on arnving at the house the suppoied Gentleman
was waiting on the steps ; scolded the boy for not snaking more
haste; took the hat and the change, and putting the note. into
the boy's hand; told him-it was a X. 5 note, and to bring the re-
mainder of the change, which from the man's gentlemanly ap-
pearance, he supposed all was right, but on examining the note,
it appeared to be a mock two-penny.note, and on his return, he
found there was not any person of that name resided at Ne. 14.
Last week, at Northawton Mithaelmas Fair, Mr.' Thomas
Hooper, of Bow, purchased three. milch cows. and forty sheep
for 181. 16s. 6d. •

It is ascertained from experiment, that a
horse, fed on bruised oats, will look as well, and
do a's much labour, as one fed on double the
auantity of the grain not bruised.
