NEW ILtYMARKET MEAT:U.—The Jealous
Wife is one of those sterling plays that are calcu-
lated to accomplish the true purpose of the Comic
Drama, viz. the reformation of private life by ex 7
posing thOse follies, errors, and vices, by which
it is too generallydisturbed. This excellent Co-
medy has, however, intrinsic faults. The character
of Mrs. Oakley is drawn with too much violence
for a person of her supposed rank in society, and
is therefore too vulgar in the expression of her
passions to be an object for fondness to a man of
feeling, delicacy, and good breeding like Mr.
Oakley, and he is consequently too timid under
the controul of such p wife. Lady FreeloveJ
and Lord Trinket should not have been
held out as examples of British nobility,
without some saving clause in compliment
to the general body. Captain O'Czttter is also a
bad specimen of the character of a Commander
in the British Navy, nor is the matter mended

by his being made a native of Ireland, and he is
employed. in such offices as a British Officer
would indignantly reject. The rest of the cha-
racters are well drawn, and may pass without
comment. It is hardly necessary to observe, that
the author of this play. is indebted to the novel of
"Tom Jones and to a letter in The Spectator, but the
public also are indebted to him for having worked
up his materials with great skill and humour.—
The play last night was on the w hole very well
supported in the representation, and it is credita-
ble to the management that such plays are brought
forward. CONWAY supported the part of Oaldu
with great judgment and feeling. Mrs. IL Jonv.
SON, though perhaps somewhat too stormy :und
loco-motive, fully understood the character of

his fair tyrant. Major Oakley could not have
:been better assigned than to Tutnv. WILLIAMS
and Oxur.arty mainly contributed to the piece in
Russettarid Sir flurryßeagle. DECAMP was rather
too much of-a Frenchman in Lord Trinket, but
his recent performance of
.French characters,
which he supports admirably, will account for the
excess. It is very creditable to the Manage-
ment that they...have retained Miss BOYCE,
who is an intelligent.actress, and who gave ade-
quate support to Lady Freelove; nor should Mrs.
JONES be passed over; as her Toilette was made
prominent by, a due regard to character. The
pleasant interlude of Lovers' Quarrels followed,
and was rendered very diverting by Miss BoycE
in Leonora, .BAKER in Carlos, J. ItussEr,t. in
Sancho, and Mrs. TAYLFURE in -.Jacintha. The
excellent new comedy of Match-breaking fol-
lowed, and. was supported in a very excel-
lent manner by all the Performers. Miss
Conn] being indisposed, - her, place was taken,
and ably supported, by Mrs. JosEs.—A good
house.
Saturday being the feast of. St. Michael, Mr. Alderman no-
mersham, the Mayor Elect Of this City, after attending Divine
Scrvice at his parish Church, was sworn into office, at the

wood, Es+) was served. up in Mr. Wright's best style, And

POETRY:

But hark! the Preacher's voice: +l_2
Behold his earnest loOk, his lifted hand!
What holy fervor Wakes at his command
He gpeaks df Faith, of Mercy froth above.,
.Of lieav'nly Hope, of a Redeetner Love !
Hence ! every thought, but that which slims fair root:
Advancing in the pat! s of Peace and Truth ;
That shews thy light, 0 pure Religion ! shed,
Like a faint glory, on a daughter's head,
Who shall each parent's love, through life repay,
And add a transport to their dying day !

I saw an OLD-, MA NT on his staff reclin'd,.
. Who see:n'd to every human change resign'd
lie, with white locks, and long-descending beird,
A Patriarch of other years appear'd-7
" And thine, oh aged., solitary pan,
Was life's t_lchanted: way, wt.en life began,
'The sun-shine_on each mountain, and the strain
Of some sweet melOdy, in every praia ;
Thule was illusive fortune's transient gleam,
And young love's broken,_ but delicious dream ;
Those Mocking visions of thy youth are fiown,
And thoU,dost bend on death's dark brink alone :
The light Associates of thy vernal day,
Where are they ? blown, as the sear leaves, away ;
And thotasio'st-seern a trunk, on whose bare head
The grey moss of uncounted days is spread !"
I know thee not, old roan, yet traits like these
UPen they time-worn features Fancy sees.
Another, .or another year, for thee,
Haply the silver cord shall loosed be !'
Then listen, whilst warm eloquence pourtrays
• That better country' to thy anxious gaze,
Who art a weary,. way-worn pilgrim here,'
And son from life's vain masque to disappear.
Oh ! aged man, lift up thine eyes—behold
What arighter views of distant light unfold ;
What Lough the lots of strength thou dust deplore,
Or broken IoVeS, or friends that are no more.;
What thotigh guy youth no more his song renews,
Life's summer-liglit dins, like the' rainbow-hues ;
The Christian hails the ray that cheers the gloom,
-And throw Sits hel,v"nlyhalo round the tomb.—
Who bade the grave its mouldering vault unclose ?
eNst—Christ who diedi yea, rather. Christ who rose!
• Hope 1:fls from Earth her tear-illumined eye,
She sees dispers'd the world's last tempest fly;
Secs Death'arreated 'midst his havoc vast,—
Lord, at thy feet, -his-broken weapons cast!

In circles, far retiring from the sight,
Till, undistinguished, they are lost in Light,
Admiring Seraphim sumaznd their wings,
Whilst hark! th' eternal Empyrean rings
Ilosannan, Lord of Lords, and King of Kings !'

These thoughts arose, when from the crowded Fame
saw rain, the mute, assembled train ; •
These images beguil'd my homeward way,
That high Lansdown'sjonely summit lay.

There 9:lern'd a music in the evening gale,
And looking tack on the long-spreadin vale,
A blessing s?cm'd to wait upon the hour •
When the last light , from fleav'n, shone on the distant tower.
- • • The Lord Bishop of Gloucester. W. L. E.

Lest, 16ng ere varied life's uncertain close,,
Those looks of modesty, that open truth
Lighting the forehead of ingenuous youth,--...
Lest these, as slowly steal maturing years,
Should fade, and grief succeed, and dimming tear.ll--
Lest, " peradventure Eiil should betide
So fair a Wonderer, in a world so wide."
Then, should the cheek be blanch'd with early, care; '
