A POETICAL MANIFESTO.

" The mirthful muse, which spurns at lies,
" May sketch a truth in sportive guise."
AT a town in the West, where Death-hunters repair,
And take different courses to catch hint when there,
By having recourse, when there's no sort of needing,
To sousing and sweating, a►td purging and ;
While others at real disease seldom shock'd ate,
'Till Death draws the curt in i❑ sha:ie of a doctor;
Prescribing pukes, blisters; and poti,rns and pills,
Either one way or other, to cure all their ills.
At this modern GoLooTan„ crowded so full
Of Death's spoils, you may call it " The Place of a Skull !"
TIMOTHY JOTTER, a ma❑ „f some means,
And perba;is somewhat rich -r in bullion than brains,
Had long lahour'd under a vile complication,
And pi,z'd three physicians about its causation:
Who triunely agreed, that till THAT was explor'd,
Their patient could never to health he restor'd ;
And THIS the wise trio had long traced in vain,
Thro' the nerves, lungs and liver, the head and the brain ;
fill, at last, their poor patient, impatient of quacking,
Threw their drugs in the sink, and the doctors sent packing.
But, 101 a few se'nnights had scarcely gone by,
each, in his turn, had pronoune'd I must die,'
When from sickness's bed hale and lusty I sprung,
Like the folk from the mill which grinds old people young,
And meeting my three quondam friends in the Crescent,
Who thought me laid low, quit of cares and quiescent,
Don't wonder, said I, that you see me recover'd,
Since by Soenstov's XVlsoom my case is disco ver'd !
And that wisdom which flows from a fountain so pore,
Has at once traced the cause, and effected the cure.
You could and out no Balm for my deep wounded health,
Tho' your worships' deep skill suck'd toy brains and my wealth,
But to thew what hid snach'd me front death past
Read the words " BALM OF GILEAP" on this little phial !
This is truth, 'let incredency say what it will.
Witness—TV:WT/1Y TOTTER, of Teitterdown Hill.
P.S.—lf you think my right name is conceal'd from your view,
Ask at Nu. 13, and they'll tell you, Who's Who.

PRINCE LkopoLo.—Yesterday morning Prince
LEOPOLD, attended by Baron -Hardenbroeke,
walked to Kensington Palace, to breakfast with
the Duke and Duchess of Kent. Afterwards his
Royal Highness went in his carriage, attended by
Baron Hardeubrocke, to Mr. nacre's, in New-
tnan-street,.where be remained some time viewing
the several works which that artist has in band
for him, His Royal Highness then went to the
residence of the Duke and Duchess of Clarence,
in St. James's-palace, to leave his name. On his
return to his carriage, a young female with an
infant in her arms presented herself to his notice
by making a low curtsey, when his R6yal High-
ness very humanely gave her five or six shillings
before his carriage drove off. In the afternoon
his Royal Highness visited the Duchess of York.
THE GRAND DUKE.-7Wednesday the Grand
Duke MICHAEL was visited by the Duke of Cum-
berland, the Duke of Cambridge, the Landgrave
of Hesse, and his sons, "Prince William and
Prince Fredirick. Yesterday his Imperial High.
ness was risit6l by Mr. Rush, the American 'Mi-
nister, and the Russian Ambassador. About one
o'clock yesterday, his IMperial Highness, attend-
ed by Sir William Congreve, Baron Nicholay,
and his suite, left town on a tour. They, were
w
only to proceed-as far as WiadsoeyCsieidai:

DINNER
OF THE FRIENDS OF SIR MURRAY MAXWELL.

Yesterday the FRIENDS of Sir M. INIAXWELL
met' to dine at Rooms, King street, St.
James's-square. The company was of the most
distinguished kind. I Several Noblemen, Members
of Parliament, anti Naval Officers attended.--
Every thing was conducted in the most decorous.
and elegant manner; there was no confusion, tro
bustle, none of that vulgar . struggle for place
which so often characterises meetings of. this

nature.

a

At six o'clock the. chair -was taken by Lord
FREDERICK BENTI NCR, and in a few minutes after
Maxival.entered the room amidst loud and
repeated cheering. He wore a bandage round his
head, and seeme&stilinot recovered from the ef-

fects of that bridal opposition which he expe
rieneed upon the hustings.

The cloth being removed, , the Chairman re-
vested, that in consequence of the continued ill-
ness of Sir M. Maxwell, the acclamation which
tiSualiy followed upon certain toasts: :being drank
might be omitted upon the present. occasion. The
gallant Captain's state of health was such as
render the noise highly distressing to him.
After dinner,. Non Nobis Domine was sung in
excellent style by Mr. Leet, Mr; Collier, Mr. J.
Smith, &C.
The health of the King was then drank.-Song,
God save the King.
The CHAIRMAN having proposed ‘`. The health
of his Royal-Highness the Princeßegent,"
Sir M. MAXWELL said, that the Noble Chair-
man had kindly proposed to forbear from the
limit greetings, in consequence of the 'feeble
state of
,health in which. he (Sir M.. Maxwell)
found himself. There was, he believed, never an
occasion upon which, among such persons as
were then present, the Prince Regent's health was
not drank with three. times three, and no consi-
deration could induce him to forego it at present.
He should therefore, however reluctantly, feel
himself compelled to withdraw- from the room,
it that of esteem for his Royal Highness was'
neglected upon the present occasion.
The health of his Royal Highness was then
drank with
,three times three, and received with
acclamation,- which did not subside for"some
mi-
nut Star of Brunswick.
The ne,t toasts were----" The Q seen and the

Royal Farnily,"—" The Duke of York at)d the
A rm y."—Glee, How merrily we live that Soldiers be,
-" D.,ke of Clarence and the Navy."—Song,
Rule Britannia !

The CHAIRMAN, in rising to.propose that toast
• which he was now about to submit to the assem-
bly, felt himself called upon to offer a few words
on the character and pretensions of Sir M. Max-
well. It had been said that he was unfit to re-
present the City of AVestminster in. Parliament.
Now to say nothing of the people of Westminster
having been long in the habit of choosing an Offi-
cer in the Navy io be one of their Representa-
tives, who, lie might ssk, could be so fit to pro-
tect their interests and make known their wishes
in Parliament, as he who passed his life in fig!it-
ing the battles of his country, and whose private
character was as honourable and as free from re-
roach as his public conduct was meritorious ?-
130 t it was not so much the character of the Man,
as the principles ou which he had come forward,
that entitled him to their support.. That which
constituted his greatest claim was his loyalty and
attachment to the Constitution--(Applause)—to
the Constitution such as,it is.---(Applause.)—He
had endeavoured to recommend, himself to the
Electors, not by flattering the vices, or exciting
the passions of the multittule, but by declaring
himself at all times opposed to those innovations
which it had been Rttempted to introduce under
the specious colour of Reform.—(Applause,)-7
Such were the principles on which Sir Murray
Maxwell had entered into this contest. At pre-
sent .he and his friends were unsuccessful, .but
when it was considered how many the gallant
Officer had polled, and at how late a period their
exertions had commenced, and when the coalition
which, though disavowed, bad taken place on the
part of the two candidates was borne n mind, it
would be seen that they had reason to exult in
having, under these circumstances, raised such o
spirit among the Electors as had manifested itself

—a spirit which he trusted would nevcr.subside.
What bad been done at this Election ought always
to be in their recollection, as from what they had
now seen, they had a right to consider that there
was every probability of their wishes being crown-
ed with complete success on a future occasion.—
(Applause.)—lt had been thrown out by one of
the opponents of Sir M. Maxwell that he was sup-
ported by.the Ladies of
.Westrninster. He was
proud to avow that such was the fact!— (Ath
plause.)—Many Ladies of Westminster, who were

•
among the most beautiful and accomplished of
their sex, had espoused his.cause, and he hoped
their fair friends would at no future period be
found inclined to forsake it. For himself- he beg-
ged to say, that he would never desert those prin-
ciples of which, on the present occasion, he had
been the feeble advocate. He concluded by pro--
posing the health of the 4,808 independent Elec-
tors of Westminster, who by voting for Sir M,
Maxwell had evinced their sincere attachment to
the BritishConStitution.
The toast was drank with enthusiasm. The
