fresh arrivals of Wheat since Monday, from which
day a tolerably large quantity remained over for
this morning's Market, but the weather continu-
ing favourable, the trade was exceedingly heavy ;
but whist flue Wheat was disposed of, obtained
,%looday's prices. Tine fresh Oats sold rather
freely, but not on better terms. In Barley,
Beans, and Pease, there was no alteration.

FARE WELL ADDRES'I.

. . . • • ,
The world is full of care, where'er we tread,
From pole to pole the Self-same cares are spread I
Lday the cup of Pleasuf e full runs o'er,
Tomorrow we the fading scene deplore.
'Tis ever thus, our charms, nor spells can save,
'Tis thus e'en from the cradle to the grave,
in sorrow horn, alas ! in sorrow bred,
For childish cares fall on the childish head ;
And as we then advance to riper years
The mantling 'smile is chequered still with tears;
The deepest pang that rends the feeling heart,
The worst to hear is when from friends we part.
The hardest task that human tongue can tt:11,
The loudest word to utter is Farewell, .
What soil so barren but the gentle mind
Sonic sacred object of delight will find ?
The Hermit wand'ring on the mountain's brow
May on a tree paternal care bestow;
Beholds it blooming in the desert wild,
And culls efieh branch of Nature's far'rite child ;
Strengthens the strong, protects the weaker pair,
And finds a solace from Affliction's smart ;
So Friendship's breath, sweet as Arallia's gale,
Brings in our shattered bark with swelling ;
One only sorrow then remains behind,
'u part from those who in the storm prov'd kind;
Yet such it is—and such must ever he,
Foi tiiue itself leads to eternity.
The solemn) Midnight hour approaching fast
Seem• like the sullen knell of pleasures past;
It warns me to retire, yet, e'er I go,
One pm ling blessing let me here bestow:
Whate'cr of gratitude I owe to you,
Think it compris'd in that sad word Adieu;
Think that my bursting heart uo more cau tell,
My tongue nu more can utter flout Farewell.

Farewell, Farewell.

Mr. YOUNG played King Lear last night, at
the Gloucester Theatre. Ills engagement was
only for that night.—The performance's of Mr.
W. FAIIREN nn Monday last, in the characters of
Sir Peter Teazle and Sir John Trolley, aff►►rded a
rich treat, and hilly proved the justice of this Gen-
tleman's claim to the fist rank in this liue of gen-
teel cometly.--7( Gloucester Journal.)
Atter the abdication of BUONAPARTE, in 1814,
it was observed, at a fashionable party in Paris,
that things were to he restored to tl►e state in
which they were in 1789.—" 0, I am delighted
to hear that," exclaimed a Lady who was no
longer in the bloom of youth, " for then I shall
be only eighteen years age."
RithIAVKABLE COINCIDENCE.—There are two
individuals in this city, partners in business, who
each married their cousin—each family have had
three children dead—each of them have had two
children who died within seven days of each
other—and each a son blind of a right eye.—(Glus•
gots Courier)
HYPROPHOBIA.—Some regulation of Police has
been long considered necessary with respect to
dogs. It is very desirable that none should be
allowed to be loose in the streets without being
muzzled. A provincial Papet says, "We are in-
formed, by a Gentleman who left Sheffidd the
last week, that in one waggon he saw 333 dead
dogs carried out fur interment, awl 250 the suc-
ceeding day. The slaughter occurred in conse-
quence of the late lamentable instances of hydro-
phobia in that town, which had induced a town's
meeting to be convened, and a reward of 3s. each
offered for their destruction. NVe hope that the
owners of, dogs in this town will, during the
present lint weather, keep them confined. We
cannot hear of the melancholy occurrences at
Sheffield without serious alarm."

James Fitzgerald, a stout-bodied man, about
fifty years of age, who travels on a sledge, has
been coinmit':•d to the House of Correction, ken-
dal, for vagrancy. During his examination, he
acknowledge.' that be had beets a member of " The
Beggar's Opera," St. Giles's—that he had fre-
quently got from five to ten guineas a week in
London by begging—and that at Lore NELSON'S
funeral he got twenty flue guineas ! lie has tra-
velled frequently through every part of the king-
don, and has been committed for vagrancy up-
wards of eighty times. He complained grievously
of the trade being so bad—that somebody had
spoiled it, both there and elsewhere—and that
begging was above a hundred a year worse than it
used to be !

Another dreadful accident by the explosion of
gas, at the Kirkless Cannel-works, near Wigan,
occurred on Monday, the 19th ult. One young
man was killed on the spot, and eleven other men
were severely injured, through this distressing oc-
currence. The accident was occasioned by a
double negligence ; first in one of the men hav-
ing propped open the door of an air-gate (which
would otherwise have shut itself), on the Satur-
day evening, whereby a large quantity of gas
had accumulated ; and 2d, in the young turn
who lost his lite having been sent forward in the
pit with a naked candle on Monday morning,
when the workmen were about to commence their
labours. The father of the oufmtunate young
man was fined for a similar negligence in regard
to an air-gate, about a fortnight before. Au
explosion, arising from the same combined causes
which produced the present calamity, also oc-
curred at these works about two years ago, and
yet the safety lamps do not seem to be in use
among them !
Yesterday afternoon an alarming fire broke out
in the house of Mr. DISCOD, blacking manotae-
torer, Blue Anchor-road, Rotherhithe, which in
a short time consumed the whole of the premises.
An accident occurred to the Engineer steam
yacht, on its passage from London to Margate,
on Wednesday afternoon, t hich compelled the
Captain to put into Whitstable', and land the pas-
sengers, 190 in number, who were conveyed to
Canterbury, and proceeded from thence to their
intended destinations ; many of them much cha-
grined at the delay and extra expense of carriage.
,The cause which arrested the voyage of the yacht
is stated to be, the breaking of one of the flies of
the wheel, from its being mad. of cast, instead of
forged iron,
