Some expectation has been entertained among the
friends of Lord Cochrane, that his Lordship was
about to visit London, but by a letter received yester-
day from Paris, it appears that he has left that city
with M. Orlando, the Greek Deputy, for Marseilles.
This change of determination is, it is said, owing to
the grant of 11,000/. which Lord Cochrane has ob-
tained from the French and Swiss Greek Committee
at Paris, and he has returned to Marseilles with the
intention of purchasing a frigate built hi that port for
the Pacha of Egypt, but which His Highness had not
fulfilled his part of the engagement by paying for.

AMATEUR GLEE SOCIETY.—This respectable
Society held their 20th Anniversary at the Ram Inn,
Smithfield, on Wednesday last. It was numerously
attended. Several glees and songs were executed by
many of the members in a manner which would have
done infinite credit to professional talent. The dinner
and wines were excellent, and the best attention was
paid to the comfort of the gUests by the worthy host,
Mr. Brough, whose assiduity and kindness arc well
known to every frequenter of that house.
REQUITED LOVE.—What words can be more de-
lightful to the human ear, than the unexpected effu-
sions of generosity and affection from a beloved woman.
A. young gentleman, after great misfortunes, came to a
lady he had long courted, and told her his circum-
stances were become so reduced, that he actually want-
ed five guineas. " I am very glad to hear it," said
she. "Is this your affection for me ?" he replied, in
a tone of despondency. " Why are you glad ?"
cause," she answered, " if you want five guineas, I can
put you in possession of five thousand."l--Leeds In-

THE VAUXHALL BRIDGE COMPANY.—Yeater-
day, the Proprietors of Shares in the above under-
taking, held a Meeting at the George and Vulture
Tavern. The Report stated, that owing to the un-
favourable condition of the times, the number of car-
riages, which passed over the Bridge had considerably
decreased. The Committee, therefore, recommended
than no more than a dividend of 1/. per Share should
be paid for the last year. The total amount received
for tolls from the lst of May to the 24th October,
was 4,3181. 3s. 7d., which, added to other items re-
ceived, would make the whole receipts 10,6031. 6s.
10d. The
,whole of this sum had been expended in

of a balance '6(68/. Is. Id. 'The Company have a re-
served fund of 6,000/.'COnsoli, but are indebted to the
amount of 7,0001. or 8,0001. Mr. Chalmers objected
to a dividend of 1/., when the last paid was U. as. per
share, and moved a Resolution that 11.55. per share be
declared as a dividend.

THE DAWN ; A SKETCH.
ADDRESPIED TO THE LOVELY AT THE P.EY. EDW. ALA.AGIH.
When a fair morning just begins to break,
'Twist three and four—about'the end of May,
The sky's like Isabella's beauteous cheek—
With rotes faintly tinted ; one might say
'Ti. rosy; (there's a better word in Creak),
Or almost rosy ; but—in short—'tie day
New-born ; and nothing's lovelier to view—
Except the nymph I have cornpar'd it to.
In part 'tie silver-bright; rich lustre throwing
Its radiance round, like Isabelk's eyes,
And like those pretty luminaries—showing
That heaven's within : for look at orient skies,
The moment Chanticleer commences crowing, ,

And you'd suppose them gleams of P►►radiae ;
And feel convinc'd—so brilliant do you find 'em,—
That nothing less than Heaven—can be behind 'em.
Next comes that Minstrel of the air—the Lark,
Spurning the dewy grass, and upwards springing,
As the Bard—Burns—describes ths warbler—hark !

The melody he makes, while eastward winging
his flight ;--and leaving for the dawn, the dark
Deep vale below : his liquid music bringing
Sounds to remembrance that my soul rejoice,
Because they're sweet—like Isabella's voice.
And then—the fresh, the gently-blowing breeze,
That breathes its infant breath on ev'ry flower ;
And skims the brook—and whispers in the trees;
Aud kisses—as it flies—yon jasmine bower ;
While vibrate leaf and spray with graceful ease ;
All these are charming at this early hour :
And—he who'd taste their charms when most sublime,
Should rise when morning dawns—to wanton in her prime,
