During the absenf.7e from Jamaka of his-Grace
the Duke of MANCHESTER, the administration of
the Government devolves on Major-General
COURAN, Lieutenant-Governor of the Island,
who opened his commission as such, in due form,
upon his return thither frOm England in 1819.
, On Friday next, being St. Matthew's Day,
according to annual custom, the Conn Ithyon,
Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Governors of the several
Royal Hospitals, will attend divine service at
Christ elturch. After a sermon by the Rev. R.
LYNAM, A. M., they will repair to the Great
Hall, in Christ's Hospital, where. two orations
will be delivered ; in Latin, by JosucA WEE.cn ;
in English, by JOSEPH -YATES COOKSON, the two
Senior Scholars or the Grammar School.
Orders have been transmitted to New South'
Wales,.where the 48th regiment is stationed, to re-
duce that corps, at present 1000 strong, to the
establishment of the rest of the Infantry. 1t ,

was owing to a special application from the hue
Governor, in 1818, that it was increased to that
strength. It is now preferred to place the 48th
on the same footing with the other infantry bat-
talions, and to forward an additional regiment
to the station. The 3d (or Buffs) have received
orders of readiness for New South Wales, and
are on their way to Chatham, whence according
as convict ships go out, they will be sent in de-
tachments on hoard. those vessels.

The two figures of Raving and Melancholy
Madness, sculptured by the celebrated Mr.
CIBBER, in the reian of King CHARLES the Se-
cond, and for which the French King Locis the
Twelfth offered 12,000 louis d'ors, have been
removed from Newman-street, Oxford-road, to
the Lunatic Asylum, in St. George's-fields. They
have undergone a complete :repair by the hand
of the ingenious Mr. BAcoN, and are conspicu-
ously- placed Ili the great Mill of that superb
building ; appropriate adornments '.are placed
round them, and elegant curtains to defend them
from the weather and from accident, and these
screens are only to be withdrawn on the day Li et
apart for the meeting of the Governors, or on any
other public occasions.

'FRE ELF:Trot)Foo.---This glorious national fes-
tival commenced on We(lnesday last, at Car-
naivon,
,with a splendour unparalleled in the an-
nals of the Principality. To state particulars of
the procek!dings in this. week's Paper is out of
our power, occ.urrin.c4 so immediately on the eve
of our Publication. The. County Hail •.s. crowd-
pd 'to excess ; and on th 6 second day of the tnePt-

ing,• so . great was the pressure to obtain admit-
tance, that an adjournment to the Court of the
Castle, move=d to, the ,Noble Prehitlent,' was
carried by acc4mation. Among the numerous
company we were highly, gratified -in seeing the
'following Nobleuten and Gentlemen, together
with a considerable portion of the female branches
of their families :—The Most Noble the Mar-
quis of Anglesea (who presided), the Earl -of
Uxbridge, the Ri9-,ht.ltev. the Bishop of Bangor',
the Right Hon. 'Lord Newborough, &c. The
recent arrhal of: this latter young Npialernan,
after an 'absence of many years, in a county
Where he possesses such large property and in-
fluence, has naturally excited consideraLle inte-
reo. At the public dinner on Thursdpy, Col.
Parry, w hose t:!...--quence is , only exceeded by
the energy with which he delivers his sentiments,
alluded to this circumstance on proposing his
Lordship's health, in very forcible and animated
language.. The concerts and ball were ad.:ni-
mbly attended, .and.every thing seemed to com-
bine to render the meeting agreeable in
treme. The revival -of the ancient Music and
Poetry of tiAie part of Great Britain is in itself so
interesting au object, that we ,cease to wonder
at the extraordinary sensation which, pn the
proselit occasion, it has created. (Ccuntg.

LINES WRITTEN BY LORD BYRON,
On the DEATH of his DOG, at NEWSTEAD AE2EY

Near this spot
are deposited the remains of one
who posaeseed. beauty without vanity,
strength without issoleuce,
courage without ferocity,
• and all the virtues, of man without his vices.
This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if
' over human ashes, is buts just tribute to the moniory ei
BOATS' i.-VA I A DOG,
who was horn in Newfoundland, May Itgl3,
seal died at Ne.wateial,
When some proud son olnian returns to earth,
Unknown to glory, but upheld ,by birth,
sculptors's art exhausts the pomp of woe,
- And storied urns record who rests below:
Virile:: all is done, upon the tomb is seen
Not -what he Was,-hut what be should belie been.
Eut the poor dog, in life the firmest friend,
The that to welcome, foremost to defend ;
-Whose honest heart is still his master's own,
Who latiourst tights, lives, breathes, for bin: alone,
Unhanour'd fella, .unrtotic'd all his worth, -
Denied in Heaven the soul he held on earth.
While man, vain bsect! hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive ikaven I
thou feeble tenant of an.hour,
Dehaslcl by slavery, or- corrupt by power,
Who' knows thee well must quit thee with disgust,
. Degraded mass of animated dust !
Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat,
Thy tongue hypocrisy, thy heart deceit,
Thy natse vile, ennobled but by name,
Each kindred brute might bid.tloec-bltiSh for shame.
lc who behold, perchance, this simple-urn,
:.',ass on, it honours none you wish to mourn
To mark a friend's ierlaiiis these stones arise,
I never knew but one—end here he lies.
