We were misinformed respecting the Triennial
Music Meeting this year, as we find that it is to
be held at Worcester, and not at Gloucester, as
stated, it having been held in the latter city last
year.
We have great pleasure in announcing the
annual meeting of the Leeds Pitt Club. Such
constitutional associations are of first-rate utility.
It is not, perhaps, generally known, that the
Earl of Il A WEWOOD is President of the Club, and
that amongst its, members are several country
gentlemen in different parts of the county. We
hear that JOHN HARDY, Esq._ is to fill the Chair
at the approaching meeting. In the mean time,
we are happy to learn that several new members
are to be balloted for. Any gentleman, desirous
of being admitted, is proposed and seconded by
two members,, and balloted for, at the meeting
next ensuing.---(Leeds intelligolcer.)

POETRY.

[FROM. AN AMERICAN PAPER.}

DR. FRANKLIN.
FRANKLIN, one night, cold freezing to his skin,
Stopped on his journey at a public inn :
Rejoiced, perceives the kindling. flames arise,
But, luckless sage, perceives with distant eyes
A blackguard crew monopolize the heat.
Each, firm as Banquo's ghost, maintains his seat,
" Ho !" cries the doctor,, never, at a loss,
" Landlord, a peck of oysters foil. my horse."
" YOur horse eat oysters?" cried the wondering host ;
" Give him a peck, you'll see they. wont be lost."
The crowd, astonished, rush into the stall :
" A horse eat .oysters—what; and shells and all ?"
-Mean time our traveller, as the rest retire,
Picks the best seat at the deserted fire ;
A place convenient for the cunning elf,
To roast his oysters and to warm himself.
The host return'd—" your horse wont eat them Sir;"
" Wont eat good oysters ! he's a simple cur,
" I know who will, he adds in merry mood ; -
" Hand them to me, a horse dont know what's good."
