Tim DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

, PLYMOUTII, OCT. 2.—On Friday last, having
seen every thiog the day before at StOnehouse
and Dock that was deemed worth observation,
the Duke of WELLIxoToN took hi's, departure f9r
Town.--•-At the Ball on \Vednesday 'evening, where
he was engaged the greater part of his time in
familiar conversation, the Illustrious Stranger was
heard to declare that [hie PHINCH ItEGEkT way
never in better health and spirits, and that he
would most assuredly etrend leis cruiZe. to this
Port !text Summer. His Royal Highness, it may
not, perhaps, lie generally known, is High Stew-
ard of .4,:r Borough, upon which he has conferred
many marks of favour. Among other things, be
lately presented the Corporation with a very
choice collection' of the Elgin Marbles. These
are intended as decorations for the Atheirmum, and
are to be placed iar the ftecesses of that tine Build-
ing.—Some anecdotes arc in circulation of his
Grace, during his short visit to this place, which
reflect on him much credit. On recognizing a
Major Mortars, of the 55th Regiment, who had
served under hint in India, he shook him cordially
by the baud, and discoursed with hint at intervals
in the most unreserved war —A Veteran in the
Citadel, who fought-at the Battle of Minden, was
presented to our Hero, and received by him in a
manner no less gratifying to such an old aoldier,
than interesting to the spectators, who witnessed
the occurrence. This Patriarch has nearly twice
numbered his jubilee of years, and is in full pos-
session of all his lacUlties. In addition to his de-
light at having an opportunity of seeing the most
consummate Captain of the age, his heart was
gladdened by some substantial proofs of the Duke's
benevolence. A Lieutenant of the 55th, the son,
it is stated, of Commissioner JACKSON of Edin-
burgh, uuderstandrug that our Warrior bad ex-
pressed his great admiration of that masterpiece
tit human labour, the Breakwater, sent a beau-
tiful model of this stupendous structure, made
,from the very materials of which the original is
now composing, for the honour of his acceptance.
In offering such a present to so distinguished per.
soilage, he intimated in writing, that he believed
it to be the only one then in Plymouth; and this,
he trusted, would be received as art apology for
the liberty he had taken. His Grace immediately
requested this Gentleman's atte,dance, and ex-
pressed to him in person his acknowledgments
cif such attent-ion ; thus conferring on a young
Officer, by his own flattering condescension, a tar
greater favour than he was in the act of receiv-
ing I—The Master-General of the Ordnance, it
seems, in his visit to this and other places, has
been merely in'Aki:ig a tour of inspection, without
the least reference to any circumstaues of a poli-
tical 'wore. By a curious coincidence, the Misses
Baleomh, of Buonapartean memory, were at the
Assembly, on Wednesday nig6t, which the I\iobie
Duke had graced with his presence. The Father
of these young Ladies •is now residing in this
neighbourhood.

CORN-EXCHANGE, OCT. 4.-IVe had a consi-
derable supply of 11'heat this morning from Essex
and Kent, but in consequence of the prevalence
of adverse winds, there have been no arrivals
from the Suffolk Coast, yet the trade was heavy,
and last Monday's prices could only be obtained
for prinie samples, for which description the de-
mard was cut irdy- confined, so that a large quan-
tity of the middling and inferior qualities remained
on hand at the close of the Market ; Fine Jiat ley
comes slowly to hand, and is es. per quarter dearer
than this day week ; New Beans are 2s. per
quarter higher ; in Peas, Oats, and other articles,
there is little or no alteration.

TO J. H. WIFFEN,
On receiving. from him a Copy of his " AoNtAx trouni,'
awl other Poems.

Though Mani, a *Minstrel's harp now ringeth
With tones the ear 'of taste must love;
And many a Muse her chaplet bringeth,
From Fancy's golden bowers above
More passionate strains than those thou breathiest;
Perchance the melting heart bath owned;
And brigriter blooms than what thou wreatliest
Hound thy wild chords, some lyies have crowned
lint done may boast, 'mid the tuneful throng;
A lovelier garland, oi• parer sung.

Plis true, not seldoM huei of sadiisi
Pervade thy flowers, and tinge thy lay;
But who for Mirth's broad glare of gladnesi;
Would wish that'tenderer gitioar away
Not I, in erlll,—thy pensive numbers,—
Than Joy's light music sweeter far,—
Cain rouse my bosom's deep'est slurnbers,--
Or When its inmate's wildly war,—_
Or my world-vexed, turbulent spirit break
Soothing—as bells on a twilight lake !

Lover of rivers, woods, and mountains!
Haunter of Nature's green recesses !
When sparkles in eve's glassy fountain's
The light of Luna's silver tresses,
Conipanionless 'tis thine to wander,
And watch the starry host assembling;
On scenes above—around to ponder,
Till every pulse with love is trembling,
For Him—who from darkness called up light,
And wrought from Chaos a world so bright!

For whilst thine eye with rapture dwelleth
On the varied charms of heaven and earth,
With gratitude thy bosom swelleth •
To Him—who spoke them into birth;
And, with thy waking visions blending, '
Religion breathes her holiest balm ;
In each storm-troubled moment lending
A sweet, and peace-cumpulling calm.
0, ever thus—till life's latest day,
May thy tempests of grief to that power give way!

Minstrel and Friend, farewell !—Though lightly
'Vaileth such meed of praise as mine,—
Tho' this rude wreath may ill requite thee
Fur beauty-breathing strains like thine;
Tet, whilst that tie remains unbroken,
Which kindred souls account so dear,
Nut valueless thoult plesm the token
Thus offered from a heart sincere.
Farewell be joy enough for me, - -
It it guile but an hour of gloom from thee
