POET a v.

LINES ON A DYING ASH.

BY THE LATE COUNTESS OFBUCICfNoLIA:,::3IIIILE.
Dear friendly ! who long hast stool
, Companion of unsocial care !
Best loved of all the tufted wood,
No mere your Verdant charms you wear.
Ah ! must thou Perish, beaute6US- tree !
Emblem of life's uncertainty!

Oft on thy bark, with sylvan pen,
Theitg',er grav'd his am'rous thought:
Oft from the gaj resort of men • •
Thy spreading bougfilictiop sought ;
And pensive soft, to seek tliy
Perchance the falling Poet stray'd

But now—or parch'd by sultry suns,
Or some rude blast's pernicious breath,
How fast thy vital moisture runs
And wets the sadden'd turf beneath ;
Untiinely falls thy leafy pride
Adown the mountain's craggy side.

Yet do not droop ! reviving spring
Thy former health may still renew
Mild Ev'ning softer gales may bring,
And wash thy wounds with tears of dew ;
Not so thy let, frail man! may be;
Returning spring ne'er blooms-for thee.

FOOT RACE.—A. Running Match took for a Wager
of 20 guineas, on 11. ednesday morning, in Hyde-park,' between
two young men of well knnwn pedestrian fame, whom the Judge
thought fit to designaLi, the one. as JAcx. SPiGGQT, and the
other TALL I3or. Buck Hill was the place where the ground
(130 yards) had ben measured, and where they started a little
after seven o'clock",-betting being 5 and 6 to 4 in favour of Tall'
Boy. . They kept abreast for e 0 yards, when Jack Spiggot be-
gan to lu'sa t:soUnd, and Tall Buy eventually won the match,
beating pour Jack by upwards of nine yads. Upwards of 1000
pereons were assembled, and several hundreds were won and lost,
NORTIIERN' MEET/NG.—On Friday -night liberal sub-
scriptions wcr., entered into for the amusements of nAt
amongst which- the establishment of the long-tell):ed of race
course at Dimeancrgy is contemplated.—Lord U TI.Y, in
addition. to his other subscriptions, placed'sol. at the tiisposal of
GLENGARRY, to which the Chief added.2sl., and man-y others
subscribed, making altogether a purse of about 1301., as priz:-.s
for the exercises of the True Highlanders, who at the next
Northern Meeting are to challenge, not only the low country,
but all countries, in- feats of strength and agility.--(lnverness

WESTATINSTER• ABBE-k.—The Altar-piece .was
not placed there (its has been mentioned) .by
lir.sny 111., who rebuilt the Church, which was
originally erected by Euw.pin -the Confessor. It
was set up during the STUART,;, or' more pro-
bably about the time the Church was repaired
under the direction of Sir CHRISTOPHER WREN,
It is in the tyle of leßs• than two centUrieStack,
after the Italian manner, and quite out of-har-
mony with the whole edifice. PreviottS.:th the
Coronation it was proposed to make itsremoval
permanent, and • to place in its stead an
Gothic structure; and further to ttiitlie a
preeent of it to some :one of the projected'new
Churches or Chapels. Windsor Chapel. was dis.,
figured, till restored under GTORGn by
similar discrepancies, as Many of our:Cathedrals
yet are. The improved taste.of modern artists
was evinced lately in the Gothic teMpOrary con-
structions in Westminiiter4-iall,-whereas the old
Coronation prints spew that on former'occa,,ions
they were grossly incongruous.
•Lord NORTH, during a severe ifln ss, said to
his physician; "'Doe:tor, I tun oblig-ed to you. -for.
introducing Me to some old acquaintance that I
have not met with formany years :" "'Who are
these, my Lord ?" said the Doctor. "Mv ribs,"
replied his Lordship.. " which I have not felt for
many years until now."

The friends of a cockney sportsman were much
alarmed on receiving a letter frcim him yesterday,
in which he stated, that, notwithstanding the high
vied on Monday, he lhot a peasant.
Poachers and other unqualified persons leave
made the most deadly havoc amongst the game of the several
estates of Oatlands, :11ilgrove, Dean, New-Close, Bonny, and
sixty acres of pasture adjoining, notwithstanding. every legal
means used for its preservation,
AN EXTRAORDINARY Sur. Aarn.—A woman
