THE BRIDAL.

Did you see the red rose on its bonny green stem,
As it opened its lips for the dew ?
The newly-fledged birds, did you look upon them,
Just fluttering their wings ere they flew ?
Did you mark the young light dawning down in the east,
With clouds cold and silent above?
Did you hear the bells ring at the village-spread feast,
And see the young bride and her love?
0, the rose it has bloom'd, it is withered, 'tis dead,
And its leaves blown away with a breath !
0, the birds they are grown, they are strong, they are fled,
And the flower has done them to death !
0, the light brightened forth over woodland and dell,
Then it faded, and faded away !
0, the bells that were ringing, are tolling a knell,
And the bride and her love—where are they?—.

The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE came
to town yesterday morning from their seat in Bushy-park;
their Royal Highnesses went to their new residence in the
Kt Nes Palace, St. James's, where they were met by Colonel
SrEvßisow, the Surveyor-General of the Board of Works,
and Mr. MASH, of the Lord Chamberlain's office, who re-
ceived their Royal Highness's commands relative to the
fitting up and furnishing the edifice, which will be pro-
ceeded with immediately. The Duke of CLAneNcz was
visited while at the Admiralty by Viscount MstLvira.r, who
had a long interview with his Royal Highness. The Duke
and Duchess left the Admiralty in the afternoon on their
return to cushy.

Sir WM. FREMANTLE, the Treasurer of the

THE COLONNADE ROUND DRURY-LANE
THEATRE.—Arnong the improvements projected for this
Theatre in the ensuing season, we are happy to find that a
Colonnade is to extend the whole length of Little Russell-
street, which will effectually screen frem the "pelting of
the pitiless storm" all visitants to box, pit, and galleries,
who enter the Theatre on this side. The massive iron
fluted columns which are to carry the Piazza have been
rolling down the Street during the week, to the great
astonishment of the neighbourhood.

_ --
Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a letter of
very great length to Mr. Hula, in reference to an attack
made upon him by that gentleman, in a Morning Paper,
on the 9th of August. Mr. O'CoNwatt. says, " You fur-
nished me with a proper lot of blacking, and did not use
the polishing brush at all."

, It is remarkable that the summer birds of pas-
sage, of which the swallow is the first, have already con-
gregated previously to their migrating. They are fully one
month earlier in their departure than last year. On the
other hand, the throstle, the redwing, and the fieldfare,
which left us in March, have returned,.as well as the ring-
ouzel, to winter in our sheltered situations. Some wise..
acres prognosticate a bard winter.--Shrewsbury .chron.
STRIKING LIKENESS.—A poor fellow in
France used to weep bitterly, whenever he saw a certain
capuchin who wore a beard, preach; the good father took
notice of it, and at last begged to know what it was, in his
discourse, that made such an impression upon his heart.—
"Oh, father, (said the peasant) I never see you but I think
of an old he goat I lost last Easter ! he was the very pic-
ture of your reverence—,Me would swear you had been
twins?"-Berkshire Chronicle.

As a proof of the scarcity of young partridges
in the neighbourhood of Arundel, upwards of a hundred
pair of old birds were seen on the Duke of NORFOLK'S
estate, without a single young one; and on the let instant,
oat of sixteen brace and a half of partridges bagged by Mr.
OrrtitY his Grace's gamekeeper, 124 braces were old
birds.--:Sussex Advertiser.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER MEETING.

DONCASTER, THURSDAY NIGHT.

Nothing of any moment has transpired as to the settling,
except the bolter alluded to in our last, and one or two
others for minor amounts. A sensation has been created
here by reports that some tricks had been played with
Bessy Bedlam to prevent her winning : the report first got
wind on Monday, and very soon reached the ears of her
truly honourable owner (Colonel King), who, with great
promptitude, instigated an inquiry into the circumstances.
Up to this moment nothing authentic has reached wand
we do not think it would be prudent, at the present stage,
to• give publicity to the many accounts which have been
circulated; we believe, however, that the gallant Colonel's
horses have been handed over to another trainer for the pre-
sent. The effect on the odds about the mare was pal-
pable ; she went back some points in the course of the day,
and on Tuesday she was at one part of the morning at 12
and 13 to 1; the great confidence, however, which all
parties had in the mare, and the honourable character of
the proprietor, prevented her going further, and at the
start she had recovered to 10 to 1. _ _

The balloon ascent this day of Mr. Green took place
from the Gas-yard, at half-past one o'clock, in the pre-
sence of several thousand spectators. The extreme beauty
and serenity of the weather enabled him to continue in
sight for nearly an hour : no account of his descent had
reached Doncaster when our parcel was closed.
The assemblage on the race•course to day was very
little inferior to that on the St. Leger-day, the gold cup
possessing attractions beyond the common, as it generally
brings out the best horses in the north.
The following are particulars of the running : •
Three-yr-old Stakes of 200 sous. each, h. ft. for colts,

6 to 4 about Rowton-6 to 4 agst the winner.
Several false starts took place, and much time was lost
before the horses could be got off ; at last they went off in
line, at rapid two-year-old running, and so they kept to
the roads. Lady Sarah and Rowton then broke ground,
leaving the others in their wake in a body, Lord Kelburn's
in front of them. The race then became entirely between
Lady Sarah and Rowton, and it was even betting till the
last yard or two, when the filly, who was admirably joc-
Lied by Lye, obtained a slight advantage, and won by
nearly a neck. Rowton was rode by W. Scott; Lord
Kelburn's, by H. Edwards ; Mr. Tarlton's, by J. Day ;
Timour, by Wheatley ; Crompton's by Garbutt; Durham,
by Robinson; Mr. Gibson's, by Nicholson; Amaryllis, by

Longwaist..
_

At starting Longwaist took the lead, at steady two mile
running, Laurel next him, and the others in line, save
Mameluke, who was last. There was no change till they
were about two distances from home, when Laurel went
up to Longwaist's head, and they ran very close till within
50 yards of ending, when Laurel let loose, and won the
gold cup in high style, by a length and a half. It is
worthy of remark that Laurel ran third for the St. Leger
last year, Matilda being first, and Mameluke second. He
has now defeated them both easy—showing what care,
good training, and fine jeckeyship will de. We know not
which to admire most, the beautiful condition in which
Laurel was brought to the post by his trainer, Mr. Perrin.,
or the admirable style in which he was jockied by Nichol-
son. Longwaist, who has now made three unsuccessful
attempts for the Doncaster cap, twice running second, was
rode by Johnson, Medoro by Lye, Robin Hood by Garbutt,
Mameluke by Wheatley, and Purity by H. Edward.
