Among the :,inquirers, yesterday, after the
state of the Duchess of CLARENCE and the Prin-
cess ELIzABETu, were the Princess SopmA, who
called in the morning ; and among those who
left' their names were the Earl and Countess of
BRIDGEWATER. ViSCOUDE and Viscountess CAS-
TLEREAGH, the Marquis of CAMDEN, Lady HEN-
LEY, Miss EDEN, Mrs. GEORGE L VNE FOX, and
Viscount and Viscountess ASHBROKE.

Yesterday, at three o'clock, the Duchess of
KENT, the Princesses VICTORIA and FEODORE
and suite, returned to her Royal Highness's
apartments in the King's Palace, Kensington,
from a visit of some weeks to Prince LEOPOLD
at Claremont, and which was prolonged on ac-
count of the extreme, mildness of the season. The
Royal Duchess, soon after her arrival at the Pa-
lace, hastened to pay an affectionate visit to the
Duchess of CLARENCE. Her Royal Highness
was accompanied by her daughter, the Princess
FEODORE. The Duchess had the pleasure to
find the Duchess of CLARENCE and the infant
Princess ELIZABETH going on as well as possible.
The Duchess of KENT and the Princess FEODORE
returned to Kensington between five and six
o'clock. The Princess SOPHIA called in the
morning. _ .

A Lisbon mail arrived yesterday, with advices
to the 10th inst. Nothing new had taken place
there, the elections were going on, and the people
were busied in this interesting and joyful un-
dertaking. The Government was engaged in
the correction of abuses, and the better organi-
sation of the various, departments, which had
been found in a most disordered state.

Rumour informs us that Carton House (a seat
of the Duke Of LEINsTEtt) is fitting up for the
QUEZN Tf this.be.t.rue we are sorry- for it, he
cause we respect.the Noble Duke who is Weak
enough to be made the instrument of so danger-
ous an experiment. His Grace ought to know
how dangerous'are the consequences of rousing
a bad spirit amongst Irishmen ! Too nearly con
nected with his own blood has been a lamentable
instance of the.fact, and that too recently, not to
feel -it a sufficient reason to make the murderous
consequences of the • traitor not easily forgotten
by the relations and friends of those Whose blood
he shed ! The punishment of attainder, too,
which followed; has been generously removed
by the good and insulted Monarch, who now
witnesses the base return. And shall the Duke
of LIANsTErt, in defiance of all this, introduce
Queen CAROLINE to Ireland as he did to his
wife, in mad despair, lest, that which her parti-
sLiis had commenced in England should not be
completed in Ireland ?—(Hibernian Journal.)

MISCELLANEOUS.

OIAvER CROMWELL.—The following extract
from the Memoirk of Sir PHILIP WARWICK pos-
sesseS 'much interest ; he says :

" The first time that evert took notice of Cromwell, was
in the beginning, of the Parliament held in November, 164 n,
when I vainly thought myself a courtly young gentleman,
(fur we Courtiers valued ourselves much upon our good
cloaths). I came one morning into the House well clad, and
perceived a Gentleman speaking, whom f knew not, very
ordfnaiiiy apparelled, for it was a plain cloth suit, which
seemed to have been made by an ill country taylor; his linen
was plain, and not very clean ; and I remember a speck or
two of blood upon his little hand ; his stature was of a good
size, his sword stitch close to his side, his countenance swot!)
and reddish, voice shatp and tint unable, and his eloquence
full of -fervor.—Yet I lived to see_this very fientlemati, by
multiplied and good successes, and by real, but usurped
;waver, having h;.•i a better taylor, and more converse among
good company, ;a my own fye appear of a great and majestic
flew,' talent, and comely presence " .And itl Liolstrode's Me-
moirs, it iS observed of Cromwell This conference pats
me in mind of what Mr. Hampden said to Lord Digby, in
the beginning of the war. As they Were going down the Par-
liament stairs, Cromwell just going before then), the Lord
Dighy, who was then a great man in the House of Commons,
asked Hampden tuko that man waS, for I see, sail!' the Lord
Digby, he is-of our side,, by his speaking so warmly this day.
Upon which Mr. Hampden Tepl led, that s•lovenlz/ fellow which
you see before us, if We should ever come .to a breach with
the King," which God forbid, 1 say that sloven, in such case,
will tie one of the greatest men of England-which was a
prophetical speech. lint Hampden-knew bins well., and was
intimately acquainted with him."

COUGHING DOWN.--This disgracefill practice
of. piughißg or hemming .down • a Member of the House of
Commons is-not of 0001eril growth. It is observed in one of
the Parliamentary Text Books, that every .11effiber ought
to he heard quietly, and without Intel ruptimi : hut if he finds
that it is not the inclination of the Houser to hear him, and
that by conveusatioo, 01' any other noise, they endeavour it/
drown his voice; it is his most. prudent way to sulimit to the
pleasure of the House, and sit down; for it scarcely ever
happens that they are guilty of this 'piece of ill manners
without sufficient reason." II is -reported of Sir Spencer

Compton, that, when he was Speaker, lie used to answer to
a Member, who called upon him to make the Elotre quiet,
fur that he had a right to be heard :—' No, Sir, you have a
right to speak, but the House have a right to judge whether
they will hear you.' In this he was certainly mistaken; the
Member hay a tight to speak, and the House ought to attend
to him, and it is the Speaker's ditty to endeavour, for that

. . .
p orpou, to keep them quiet ; but when the rove of talking
gets the better of modesty and good sense, which s,metnyes
happens, it is a duty very difficult to execute in a liege and
popular assembly. And, • indeed, the Ilouse are rely seldion
inattentive to a Niember who says any thing worth hearine 1

In 160 1 , Serjeant Neale, who was not very popular, was
speaking and said, " The Queen bath as much right to all
our lands and goods, as to the revenue of her Crown." At
w Ilia all the House hemmed, and laughed and talked.—

Wt.ll, quwli the Serjeant, all your hemming shall not put
me out. of countenance." So Mr. Speaker stood up and said,
" It is a.great disorder that this should be used ; for it is the
ancient use of every man to lie silent when any tine speaker!),
and he that is speaking should be suffered to deliver his mind
without interruption." So tile Serj ea nt proceeded, and when
he had spoken a little while, the House hemmed again, and
l,e sat down. •

Da. JOSEPH WAnToN.—lle .was a delightful
poet, a.tuust elegant scholar, and an•able critic. His conversa-
tion was rich and fluent, and displayed exhaustless stores of
wit, pleasantry, and iiterary aneedotes.—The following very
sweet Address to music, is- a free translation of a chorus in
the Medea of EuripiticS., 'Dr. Winton said, that he composed
these verses while lie .sea" drawing on his hoots
:
Queen of es 'ry moving measure,
Sweetest source of put est pleasure, •
• Music ! why thy pow'rs employ,
Only for.the sons of joy ;
Only for the s4iline guests,
At natal or at nuptial feasts?
Rather thy lenient numbers pour
On those whom secret griefs devour ;
Bid be still the throbbing hearts
Wllollldeatn or absence parts t •
And with some softly-whisper'd air,
Smooth the brow of (tomb despair."
In his " Ode to Fancy," lie his drawn a pathetic piciture,.
which shows the-OriginalitY of his ginitis:—
" Haste, Fancy, Iron\ the scenes of Folly,
To meet the matron Melancholy ;
Lead to some- abbey's moold'ring tow'rs,
Where, to asuid cold wintry show'rs,
The naked beggar shir'ring
While whistling tempests round her rise, -
And tremblesteft the tott'iing wall •
Should on her sleeping infants fall."

PETER PAUL SARPT.—IIe was honoured by
the learned fur his great abilities and erudition, and by the
good fur his integrity. He ably defended the cause of the
Senate of Venice against the claims of the Pope to infalli-
bility, and to a power paramount to all other human autho-
rity. Compelled by various conspiracies of the vindictive
Papists to confine himself to his convent in Venice, he wrote
The History of the Council of Trent, esteemed a model of
historical composition. Convinced of the corruption of the
Court of Rome, and the artifices of its emissaries, he said,
" There is nothing more desirably than to abolish the insti-
tution of the Jesuits ; the Church of Rome will be involved
in their ruin ; and if Rome be ruined, religion will reform
of itself." lit his last illness, which was caused by a wound
from a stiletto, said to be inflicted by an emissary from the
Court of Rome, he received a visit front the doge and Senate
of Venice. He had merely strength enough to raise himself
up in his bed, at their entrance into his apartment ; and
with his hands clasped together, and his eyes lifted towards
Heaven, he exclaimed with his expiring breath, alluding to
his dear native city, " EASup petna."

THE THEATRE.—The Opera of The Lord of
the Manor was revived last night at Drury-Lane.
Theatre. I3RAIIAM gave a powerful musical sup-
port to the part of Truciovc,
.and introduced
songs not originally in the piece. Madame
VESTRIS, whose vivacity and spirit are.indefati-
gable, was a very lively and effective Annette.
BARNARD, a very useful Actor, appeared to
more than usual advantage in Young Contrast;
and llAar,Ey, another Performer whose spirit is
inexhaustible, rendered La Nippe very promi-
nent and amusing. liNtdirr also, who never
suffers a part to become languid in his hands, re-
presented Ralph with most diverting effect. 7—
ISIuNnEN being indisposed, the part. of Moll
Flaggon was assigned to WILLIAMS. The Opera
altogether was so well. sustained, and so favour-
ably received by a numerous audience, that it
will probably be repeated with great success.
HORSHAM.—The Duke of NORFOLK, with that
liberality which so much distinguishes his Grace,
has lately presented -the Borough of Horsham
with a new costly town clock, which is added
• to the New Town Hall, erected there by the
late Duke, in which the Assizes are annually
holden. This structure, in the Gothic style of
architecture, possesses every accommodation for
public business, and was -completed at the pri,
vate expence of the late Duke. The addition
now made to it of a new clock,nhasbeen acknow-
ledged by the Corporation at a public Meeting,
attended also by the inhabitants of the town,
when a Resolution-of Thanks was unanimously
passed to his Grace for the munificent and use-
ful donation of new clock, contributing both
to the convenience and ornament of that ancient
Borough.
• It is now pretty certain that Mr.' WHITE, son
of Mr. LUKE WHITE, will start as a candidate to
represent the county of Roscommon in Parlia-
ment.

TO JULIO,
ON LIS 'COMING OF ACE:

[From the EtOnezie, No.

while Farlcy's tints adorn
The tirst bright hema of iaanhood's morn,
The cares,of boyhilthl fleet away,
Like clouds before the face of day;
And see, before your rarish'd eyes,
New hopes appear, new duties rise,
Restraint has lett 6i. iron throne,
And Freedorn smiles on Twenty-one.

Coma o'er the friends, whom erst you kne*
When careless boyhood de'eni'd them tine',
With whom ..;:olt wiled the lazy hunts
Round fond Efona'S classic towers,
Or strayed beside the learned unlit.
Of ancient Cani'sr‘neantrriog flood
The follies, tlqzt in them you view,
shall he a source of good to you.

• With mincing gait, and foreign air
Sir Philip ttrays through and square,
Or yawns in Grange's sweet recess,
In all the studied ease of dress
Aptly the wanting's tongue, I deem,
Cul argue on .4 lofty theme,—
Which damsel hath the Merrier eye,
NVliich fop the hetter-fanCieti tie,
Which perlimie bath the sweeter savour,
Which soup the more in flavour;
And Fashion, a't Sir Philip's call,
Ordain's the collar's rise and tall,
And shifts the Brumniers ratying lute
From blue to hriAvn, from brown to blue.

herice the motley croWd whoe'er
Behr F,tshiou's hatlge—ur wish to hear,
t`fuin liocklty-hole to Itotteu-ruw,
to dub Sir Phrlip—beau.

And such is Fashion's empty Tame.
Squire Robert luaths the very name;
The rockets hiss, the bonfires blaze,
The peasants gape in still amaze;
The field unpluny,led—the ox nityok.d,
The tau iner's•uiuth with pudding chok*cly
The sexton's vest of decent brown,
The village maiden's Sunday gown, ,
In joyful union seem to say, . •
" Squire Robert is of age to-clay."
The bumpkins bony to the Bell,
And clatu'rous tongues in riot swell ;
Anger is hot—and so is liquor ;
They drink confusion to the Vicar—
And shunt and song from lad and :ASS,
Am) Woken heads—and broken glass,
In conceit horrible, declare
Their loyal 'rev'rence fur the heir.
!tight justly may the youthful squire
These transports in his stares inspire;
At every fireside tin (nigh the place
He's welcome as the curate's grace;
He tells his story, cracks his joke,
And drinks his ate, " like oilier folk ;"
Fearless be risks that cranium thick •
At cudgelling and singlestick ;.
And then his stud !—Why! far and wide
It is the county's chiefest pride!
Ah ! had his steed no firmer brains
Than the mere thing that holds the reins,
Grief soon woold bid the beer to run
Because the squire's mad race was dune,
Nut less than now it froths away,
Because " the squire's of age to-oy."
Far different pomp inspit'd of old
The youthful Roman's bosom bold,
Soon as a father's honout'd hand
Gave to his grasp the casque and brand,
And off the light prtetexta threw,
And front his neck the bulla drew,
Bade hint the toga's foldings scan,
And glory in the name of " Man."
Far different pomp lit ardour high
In the young German's eager eye,
When. bendiae o'er Ins oft'epring's bead,
An aged sire half-weeping said,—
" Thy duty to thy father done,
Go tort h--and be thy country's son."
fleav'os ! how his bosom intrn'd to dare
The grim delight of manhood's, war,
Mid Itrnudiatr in 110 mimic field t.
His beaming lance and osier shield:
How his young bosom long'd to china
In war's wild tumult manhood's name,
And write it, 'midst the hattie's loan,,
In the best blood of trembling Rome !
Such was the hope, the barbarous joy,
That nerv'd to arms the German buy :
A dame as ardent, inure retiu'd,
Shall brightly glow in A olio's Mind;
But yet I'd rather see thee smile
Grimly on war's embattlid
I'd rather see thee wield in strife
'l•he German butcher's reckless knife,
Thinking thy'claims to manhood grow
From each pale curse that bleeds helow ;
I'd rather view thee thus, tha❑ see,
A modern blockhead rise in thee.

Is it a study for a Peer
To breathe soft vows in lady's car,
choute a coat—ot leap a gate,
To win an heiress—or a plate

Far nobler studies shall be thine—
So
Friendship and the Muse divine;
It shall be yours, in danver's hour,
To guide the helm of British power,
And 'midst thy country's lattrell'd crown
To mix a garland all thine own.
Julio, from this auspicious day, '
New honours gild thine onward way;
In thee Posterity shall view
A heart to faith and feeling true,
And Fame her choicest wreaths shall Mend,
Fur Virtue's, and the poor man's friend.
