POETRY.

THE WINTER ROBIN.
A suppliant to your window comes
Who trusts your faith, and fears no guile t
Ile claims admittance for your crumbs,
And reads his passport in your smile.

For cold and cheerless is the day,
And he has sought the hedges round ;
No berry hangs upon the spray,
Nor worm, nor ant-egg, can be found t
Secure his suit will be preferred,
No fears his slender feet deter
For sacred is the household bird
That wears the scarlet stomacher I

We understand that it is the intention of same
liberal Members of the Corporation to move to
have a Museum or Depository,of finch antiquities
or interesting remains as mai be found in the City,
added to time library which the Corporation are
now forming. Many valuable antiquities, Roman
pavements, urns, &c. have been dug up in the
course of several of the city works, and lost or
destroyed for want of care. The new library
will be perhaps the perfect of any relating
to the city and its history. Collections are made
for it under the superintendence of Mr. A. 'Tay-
lor and several other well-infortned Members of
the Committee. They have fine graphic illustra-
tions of Pennant's London, arranged under the
heads of the several wards to which they relate,
A few days since a complete set of the Gazette
was purchased of Mr. Southgate, for this library,
at the sum of 2501., and is considered cheap.
This, we believe, is the only unique set
belonging to any public body. The set at
the London Institution is deficient in se-
veral volumes. The set at (lie Treasury is
deficient in the Gazettes for 1766. There is one
set at Peek's Coffeehouse, which is valued at se-
veral hundred pounds, that is deficient in those
for 1760. The set, or rather part of a set, in the
British Museum, is deficient of about 3000 Ga-
zettes, and all those relating to time rebellion iu
1745, are wanting.

Among the various tricks whith those who

live by their wits have recou,rse to; to raise a
" circulating rnediutn," the following deserves
notice :—Two men have been perambulating the
villages in East Kent, and with unblushing ef-
frontery walked into the various shops, and an.
nounced they were " alga by authority," to alter
their weights and measures according to the new
standard. They soon busied themselves for some
little time about the weights, &c., and then de.
mended a fee of 10s., which in most Instances was
paid.—( County Chronicle.)
