FRAGMENT OF A POEM;
OiDasion(iit by a Gent/envp,'s iei.ing a Lady weep over toil
BYRoN'sPicture.

"
Oh that those lips had language, and wOOI4 speak
Comfort to her whose tear i 3 on her cheek,
Sighing to think thy Genius Shines so bright;
Only to dazzle and deceive the sight;
What reeks it where ti o, peSent tot is calf,
If thou should'st wander hopeless at the last i
If thon, frail mortal, will not own thy God,.
Nor fear his frown, nor dread !di angty nod.
kvhy are thy steps not planted in the road
That leads from earth to hear'n, from man to God
For then, tho critics 'irainst thy verses rail,
Then, tho' the magic of thy numbers fail,
Should e'ett the shadows deepen o'er the past,
Yet Hope's bright picture would not be o'ercast.
• • • • • •
And wheii at lest thy dust to dust is tending,
And thy pore soli) is to her God ascending,
May Herten's bright sun-thine ou thy features rest,
May Heav'e's own smile be on thy lips imprest,
Hope wide extend her ever-snaring wings,
And streams of mercy wash away all sins.

Then may'st thou, thy trials past,
Hear these gracious sounds at last,
•' Spirit rest—thy work is o"er,
Thou art blest for evermore."
Sun of righteousness t appear,
With clouds of incense ever near,
Shed o'er all thy radiant light,
Ever pure and ever bright.
•
Sorrow's clouds will swiftly fly,
When the grace of God is high.

THE LATE QUEEN OF WURTEMBERG.

STUTTGARD, JAN. 19.

The clay before yesterday the body of the late
Queen having been placed in an open coffin, the
Clergy of her Majesty's Greek Chapel said Mass
in the chamber where she died. The body was
then removed to a room hung with black,
where it was to lie in state. It was attended by
a numerous train, formed of the Royal Family,
the Court of her dece,oted Majesty, the Russian
Charge d'Affairs,and the Clergy of the GreehChapel.
The coffin was placed upon an estrade, under a
richly ornamented canopy. The back part of the
room, ender the canopy, was covered with ermine,
on which werekplaced the arms of the kingdom of
Wurtemberg.- Above the bead, a console sup-
ported a cushion of gold brocade, on which lay the
Royal Crown. In the open coffin was seen
her Majesty, clothed with the Imperial mantle,
and having the insignia of• the Russian Or-
der of St. Catherine. After the Greek Clergy
lied recited the usual prayers, the saloon
was opened to the public, from eleven till one,
and in the afternoon, from three till five o'clock.
To-day it has been open from ten till twelve.
While the body lay in state, it was surrounded by
the Household-of the late Queen, and part of that
of the King, as far as the room would allow.
The Ladies were on the right and the Gentlemen
on the left side of the coffin —Yesterday, at ten
o'clock in the evennig, the body was removed
by torch-light, and in the midst of a numerous
train, front the apartment where it had lain i►► state
to the Greek Chapel of the palace. The coffin
having been placed, the religious ceremonies of
the Greek worship were begun, and were con-
tinued without interruption till the body of the
deceased was removed to the sepulchre of the
•Royal Family.

The whole of the warrant officers belonging to
the ordinary at Portsmouth, were surveyed last
week at Hasler Hospital, nea►ly 100 of whom are
reported unfit for further service at sea, and will,
in consequence, he superannuated forthwith.
A duel took place on Saturday morning in Kul.
bunt-fields, between Capt. F. and Mr. G. when
the latter was dangerously wounded in time left
side, the ball having fudged. Information was
given to the Police, but not until after the petits
had left the ground.

We observe by the Liverpool Mercury, of the
15th inst. that an Itinerant 'Traveller with wild
beasts intends to treat the inhabitants of the city
►►f NOrwich with a fight between one of his Lions
(which he gives a description of, from the nose to
the tip of Ids tail), to be opposed to that useful
British animal l'ita BULL, within a circle or am-

phithearre, boarded to the height of ten feet from
the plain of combat, the upper pa:( furnished
with elevated seats for the accommodation of
spectators, on which, perhaps, his shaggy Majesty
will find little difficulty in ascending, with his
formidable claws, to meal on those at a guinea
per head in the front seats. We have no hesits-
tion in declaring this brutish exhibition deroga-
tory to the character of Englishmen, .nn►l at this
peripd of refinement ought not to be tolerated by
the local Magistracy. We think it proper, for
the information of our Readers, to add, that the
'Hine person (when in London) exhibited two
rattle snakes, from thee bite of one of which rep-
tiles a carpenter fell a victim ! and at another
time a leopard escaped !! and "as with much risk
secured, after taking refuge in an unfinished linue
in Piccadilly. 'l'l►is animal escaped a second
time !!! and (fortunately for some human being)
seized upott a deer, which it killed. To prevent
any fatal calamity taking place, we trust that
Lord SIDMOLiTH In, with hiA usual attention to
the welfare of his iNiajesty's sane subjects, direct
the Magistrates to ',rohibit this disgraceful and
daogeruus practice throughout the country.
