WHEREIN IS SHOWN

FAITH PREFERRED BEFORE CHARITY.
AND THE FATAL. EFFECTS THEYCEOF.

(Written at the latter end of the Ilth Century.)

In Yerk,hire, near the town of Richmond,
A young man worked by the road side ;
'Squire Shuttleworth'e bailiff was the man that hired him,
To dig and trench by the read side.
At Hartlepool he lately landed
From the ocean, he had used to plough ;
And after walked to seek his fortune,
By labour and by sweat of brow.
And now whose coach is this comes bounding
Down Clapgate side with crash and shock ;
Dragged down the hill to certain ruin,
By frightened horses over brook and rock.
'Tis 'Squire Shuttleworth and his daughter,
From Richmond Priory they come ;
Where they have heard mass, and have confessed there,
And now they are returning home.
'Squire Shuttleworth had this only daughter,
Renowned for beauty far and wide;
And many noble 'Squires had sought her,
Who refused to leave her father's side.
Now from the ditch this young man bounded,
Farther than one might pitch the bar;
The hart that died at its last bounding,
Moved not so quick nor sprang so far.
He stopped the horses by his valour,
For soon he did outgo their speed ;
And 'Squire Shuttleworth and Lis bright daughter
Ik released at the utmost net d..
'Squire Shuttleworth then this youth regarded,
With a condescending plan ;
And thus observed—" A comely varlet !
Henceforth he shall be my serving man."
Then this young man the castle entered,
A new task to undertake ;
By his lord and mistress kindly treated,
As he had ventured for their sake.
When he had been a year and over,
Serving of a master kind ;
Ann Shuttleworth she became his lover,
And thus informed him of her mind :
When as she met him in the garden,
She inquired to learn his fate;
Whence he came, and of what parents';
Then he did the truth relate.
" In the British fleet I entered
To defend my country dear;
At the battle of 'Solebay I ventured,
A seaman bold and without fear.
There (lid I fight in the red squadron,
With my comrades brave and true ;
Under the great Sir Joseph Jordan,
And many valiant Dutchmen slew.
But, this furious battle ended,
My Cominander, the next day,
To the Duke of York would have me presented,
But his Highness turned his head away.
For I was of the Reformation;
He had turned to the old faith :
Wherefore my services he slighted,
And to prefer me was so loath.
Thus was I stopped of my promotion,
By this self-same cruel blow :
Wherefore I steer'd to seek my fortune
By labour, and by sweat of brow."
"'1 hen thou'rt that valiant man James Brady;
And my love's not thrown away !"
Its stay thee, stay thee, gentle lady,
For the young moan turns his head away.
" Nast thou forgot the Duke's bare treatment,
When he slighted thee on the sea'
And thou wert then a valiant seaman,
Not a maiden tree like me !"
Yet this young man be stood reluctant,
And unkindly frewn'd his brows ;
And because that she was a Papist,
Slighted this bright virgin's vows.
Then she sung her " Ave-Maries !"
The Virgin came to her relief,
And to her holy bosom took her :
Others say she died of grief.
And what becomes now of James Brady,
The cause of all this bitter woe?
Ilis cruel anguish finds no respite,
But he wanders high and wanders low.
At length he travels far to Turkey,
To fight the base barbarian foe ;
Where, in the raging storm of battle,
A friendly bullet laid him low.
These lines composed by Nathan Gould,
Who knew the truth they thus unfold*
In the year of man's salvation
Sixteen hundred eighty-eight.
Bigots of every age and nation
Be warned by what I here relate.

ST. KATHERINE'S DOCKS.

The whole of the western range of warehouses,
from which the scaffolding has been entirely re-
moved, appears in a finished state. The northern
range, though part of the scaffolding is yet up, is
nearly finished. More than one-half of the southern
range is in the same state, and the remainder is pro-
ceeding rapidly. The immense hollow iron pillars
that support the warehouses in front of the docks
are on the eastern side painted stone colour, to cor-
respond with the solid cornice that runs over then,
and sustains the brick-work, and their effect is novel
and indicative of great solidity.
The front of the offices, looking in a corth-westerly
direction, opposite the Mint, is neaiiy completed; it
is supported by four fluted pillars, and contrasts well
by its elegance with the extreme plainness of the
adjoining buildings. The basin and the western
dock are both excavated nearly to their greatest
depth, which will be about thirty feet from the top
of the wharfs, and about twenty-four from the
highest influx of water that can be procured.
The entrance from the river, with the dock-gates,
is also fast going on, and is an extremely curious
piece of workmanship. To the eastward the work
of levelling is proceeding apace, and approaches in
many places close to the boundaries of the London
Docks.

- -
The excavations on that side for the eastern dock
are going on very extensively, but it will take a
considerable time before it can be completed.

Several of the houses and premises which must be
removed from its site are still standing, and some of
the occupiers, from the great inconvenience they
sustain by their removal, are not in a hurry to quit
them.

The two docks and basin of St. Katherine, will,
when finished, afford great accommmodation to our
shipping, a want of which is much felt, and has
been long complained of. The undertaking itself is
a credit to the nation.

conduct prevented him from proving the winner of the first
