THE QUEEN.

The followinG. are two notices sent by Her
MAJESTY'S Vice-Chamberlain to postpone the
Concert (which was to have taken place at the
Mansion-house on Wednesday next), and the re-
ception of the Addresses :

" Braudenburgh-house, Wednesday morning, Jan. 10.
" My am commanded by the Queen to inform
your Lordship, that her Majesty has this moment received a
notification, dated January the Bth, from Baron Von Oeyn-
hausen, Chamberlain and Vice-Master of. the Horse to the
late Duke Augtistus of Brunsts'ick, her Majesty's brother, an-
nouncing the melancholy intelligence of his Serene High-
ness's decease on the 18th of December last. In consequence
of an event so distressing to her feelings, her Majesty has
commanded me to state to your Lordship that she must de-
cline being present at the Concert which is to take place at
the Mansion-house on Wednesday next, the 17th inst. ; and
that the same considerations will preclude the possibility of
her Majesty receiving the Address from the Livery of the
City of London on Monday the 15th.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord,
" Your Lordship's very obedient humble servant,
It. K• CRAVEN, Vice-Chamberlain.
" To the Right Hun. the Lord Mayor."

" I have received her Majesty's commands to state, that in
consequence of the melancholy death of her brother, Duke
Augustus of Brunswick, her Majesty will not receive the Ad-
dresses appointed for presentation on Monday next : and
that another day will be fixed, of which due notice shall he
given. " R. K. CRAVEN, Vice-Chamberlain
" Brandenburgh7house, Jan. 10, 1821."

:HE THEATRE.—The favourable impression
made by the new Tragedy of Mirandola on the
audience on Tuesday, at Covent Garden Theatre,
was fully confirmed on its repetition last night.
There have been some alterations, or rather
truncations, which render the piece more com-
pact, and prevents that languor which is apt
to result from a repetition of the same senti-
ments, however well expressed. The music
in the grand scene of festivity, to celebrate the
return of Guido, was curtailed. The interview
between Guido and Isidore in the garden was also
shortened. The acting was again admirable,
and the play went off with triumphant success.
The Piedemontese Gazette of Dec. 28, says,
cc We have received news, by express, that his
Majesty, the King of the Two SICILIES, left
Florence in good health, arrived yesterday at Bo-
logna, will be at Modena this evening, and at
Laybach on the 4th of January."
Perhaps no former year has been more fruitful
in events than that which has but just passed
away. It was in the year 1820, that our late
revered Monarch, and his excellent son, the
Duke of KENT, descended into the tomb—the
former full of age and honours, the latter prema-
turely snatched from the active exercise of duties,
dictated by a benevolent heart. In the same
year our present gracious Sovereign ascended the
'Throne, to execute, in his own name, the high
functions which he had previously executed on
behalf of his afflicted Sire. And in this year,
too, Queen CAROLINE, the Consort of his MA-
JESTY, returned to England, and, whether inten-
tionally or otherwise, aroused that wayward spirit,
which, blind to present blessings, has laboured
to convert the generous confidence and ardent
loyalty of Englishmen, into discontent and dis-
affection.

Alderman Woon has appointed a Meeting,
agreeably to a requisition, to be holden in St.
Giles's Church, Cripplegate, to-morrow, at 12
o'clock precisely, to take into consideration the
propriety of Petitioning the House of Commons
for the restoration of her MAJESTY'S name to the
Liturgy, and the restitution of all her other rights
and dignities.

Yesterday, the Princess VITTORIA and the
Princess FEODORE took an airing in the neigh-
bourhood of Kensington.
The Duke of DEVONSHIRE is entertaining a
large party of distinguished visitors, at his seat,
Hardwick, Derbyshire.
On Thursday afternoon the Duke of WELLING-
TON arrived in Bury St. Edmund's, and, after
changing horses at the Angel Inn, proceeded to
Viscount GRANVILLE'S, at Wherstead Lodge,
near Ipswich.

The Ball at the Assembly Rooms in Bury St.
Edmund's, for the benefit of the poor, was at-
tended by upwards of 200 persons, including.
the Marchioness of CORNWALLIS and her daugh-
ters, and a great many of the principal families
of the town and neighbourhood.
Friday morning a letter was received at the
Custom-house, from Lieut. WHITE, R. N., In-
specting Officer of the Preventive Water Guard
at Wexford, stating that a smuggler, .called the
Leather Legs, has been totally lost near Can-
sore Point, and all hands perished. This vessel
had landed part of her cargo, which, through
the activity of Lieut. WHITE, has been seized,
and safely lodged in Wexford Custom-house.
COUNTY ADDRESSES.—It gives us much satis-
faction to find several Addresses are daily arriv-
ing from all parts of the Country, and the most
fastidious cannot find fault with them. We al-
hide to the eulogiums, which are passed on
Messrs. SIVEWRIGHTS', the Contractors for the
present Lottery, for the very excellent Scheme
they have made, possessing the unprecedented
Number of Nine Prizes of 21,0001., Three of
which must be drawn in first five Minutes, on the
23d Instant, the day when Parliament meet;
whether any or all the other Six will be drawn
that day, a short time will determine) as the
drawing is at hand.

POETRY.

HOB. LIB. 11., ODE 111., IMITATED.
TO E. W/LLOUGHDY, ESQ.

An even temper be your care,
Not swoli'n to insolence by joy,

Nor sunk by sorrow to despair,
Since, Willoughby, you soon must die,

Whether in nought but woe you pass
The whole of life, or oft recline
At ease upon the vernal grass,
And cheer your soul with gererma wine.
Where the high elm and spreading unk
Embrace benignly o'er your head,
To shade you; and the murni'ring brook
Trembles along his winding bed:—.
Here bring your odours ; here your wines ;
And sweet, but transient, roses shed,
While youth allows, while fortune shines,
And Fate yet draws your vital thread.
You must resign your costly woods,
Your ball, and fields, thru' which is roll'd
The silver of old Thames's floods;
And heirs shall seize your heaps of gold.
Rich, and of Saxon Kings the seed—
Or poor, and from the vilest slave—
You linger. under Heav'n, to feed
The reckless and insatiate grave.
All to one end : the rushing day
Sooner or later brings the hour,
And drives us on the gloomy way,
From which our feet return nu more.
