COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Covent-garden Theatre opened on Saturday for the
season, under the management of Mr. Charles Kemble.
Tne opera of Norma was chosen as the opening piece,
Miss Adelaide Kemble, of course, personating the heroine.
Miss Kemble, on her first appearance, was most enthu-
siastically greeted ; indeed, so loud and long-continued
was the applause with which she was welcomed, that it
was some minutes before she was suffered to proceed with
her part. She looked pale and much thinner than last
season ; and, from her appearance, it was evident that
she was scarcely recovered from her late severe indispo-
sition ; indeed, in the early part of the evening, she
seemed still suffering from its effects. She gave the
hymn of the Druidess, however, Caste diva, with as great
power, beauty, and pathos, as ever ' • and as she proceeded
with her part, her energies seemed to rise with the. call
made upon them, every trace of physical weakness disap-
peared, and from the commencement of the Casts diva
to the conclusion of the opera, her performance was
one continued series of splendid triumphs. In the duet
with Adelgiso her efforts were admirably supported by
Miss Rainforth ; both ladies were loudly applauded, and
a repetition of the duet was called for. Miss Kemble,
however, evidently suffering severely from the fatigue
she had undergone, advanced to the front of the stage, and
looked most beseechingly at the audience. The hint was
taken, and although the applause was continued, and bou-
quets were showered on the stage, theaudience had too much
good feeling to persist in the call.for its, repetition. At
the fall of the curtain she was loudly called for, and was
led forward by Cooper, when she was greeted with even
greater enthusiasm than she had been on her first ap-
pearance. The only changes in the cast of the opera
from that of last year were, the substitution of Giubilei
for Leffler in the character of Oroveso, and of Binge for
Clement White in that of Flavius. Miss Kemble, it ap-
pears from the bills, will perform every 'Tuesday, Thurs-
day, and Saturday, until Christmas, when she will finally
retire from the stag:. We know of no circumstance
connected with the progress of musical taste in England
that has occasioned, among all those who sincerely de-
sire to see the establishment of an English musical school,
a -feeling of deeper regret than the announcement that
Miss Kemble is so soon to retire from the scene of her
triumphs. Not only is it a subject of regret to the
English musical public, but to the musical pub-
lic of Europe ; for, unlike the generality of
English singers, hers is an European fame, and, in
many of the highest characteristics of opera, she stands,
beyond compare, THE prima donna. Take the opera of
Saturday, for instance, Norma. The only other Norma
who can, for an instant, be put in comparison with Miss
Kemble, is Grisi, -and, with a full recollection of Grisi in
the part, we have no hesitation in saying that the
Italian must yield the palm of superiority to the Eng-
lishwoman. There is a calm dignity, the repose of
conscious power, about the Norma of Miss Adelaide Kern-
ble, in which the Norma of Grisi is deficient, and fur
which the snappish shrewishness which she throws into
the part is by no means an efficient substitute. Again,
as an instance of her immense superiority over her com-
petitors, let us look at the fate of the opera of Elena
Überti. This is one of Mercadante's operas, and one,
the . snccesa of which depends entirely on the abilities of
the singers, or, in this instance, of the singer, for Elena
bera is the only part in the opera. In the hands of
Miss Kemble the opera drew crowded houses for some 20
'nights. The same opera was subsequently produced at
the Italian Opera House, with Frezzolini as Elena ; it
did not run three nights, and this failure was entirely
owing to the difference between the two singers, for
Mercadante's music is certainly much more likely to
please the taste of an Opera House audience than of a
Covent-garden one. We regret Miss Kemble'd retirement
the more, because we observe already a marked improve-
ment in those who have been in the habit of sinning
with her : let us hope that Mrs. Alfred Shaw, who is
engaged here, and who, like Miss Kemble, is an accom-
plished musician, and has a European fame, will continue
what Miss Kemble has .so happily begun, and that at
length we may have an English operatic corps worthy
of being so called, and then we shall not want for good
composers. At the conclusion of the opera the National
Anthem was sung, the solo parts being Liven
excellently by Miss Rainforth, and very carelessly
by Mr. W. Harrison ; and then followed a new two act
comedy, Troin the pen of Douglas Jerrold, entitled
Gertrude's Cherries; or, Waterloo in 1835. In the first
scene we are presented with a view of the field of
Waterloo, with the mount and the Waterloo lion in the
distance, and are introduced to Mr. Crossbone

On Saturday Frederick Mackeliord, who was
some time ago charged with having, with several
others, defrauded 'tradespeople of goods of considerable
value, and James Gasbell, who stands charged with
having conspired, with others, to defraud the same
tradespeople, were brought up for final examination.
Mr. Goddard, the solicitor for the prosecution, was
in attendance.
Thomas Harris stated that he resided at Maidstone,
and that he went into the service of Beaumont (be-
tween whom and Shackelsford, it will be recollected,

afforded
opi-
nion, only one answer can be given •
. convey the un-
employed labour of the United Kingdom to the un-
occupied lands of the Colonies ; adopt an extensive
scheme of systematic colonization.
The adoption of an extensive plan of colonization
would afford instantaneous relief : it would occasion
an immediate increase in the demand for shipping,
and for all the various materials required .for the
equipment and maintenance of the emigrants; and
while it thus enlarged the field of employment, it
would. diminish the number of hands seeking to be
employed. But though the conveyance of a portion
of our unemployed population to the unoccupied lands
of the Colonies affords, we think, the only effectual
means by which Intrkets can be opened and the causes
of distress removed, vet it does not appear that the
Executive Government is prepared to originate any
extensive plan of emigration. , It may even be ques-
tioned, whether, in a movement of this character,
Government should take the initiative. An extensive
scheme of emigration, if adopted in the first instance
as a Ministerial measure, might be rendered unpopu-
lar by being represented as compulsory, and might
be cried down by the ignorant and prejudiced as a
species of transportation, while, were it undertaken
by a public Company, it would be less open to such
unfounded objections, and would be presented more
in the character of a voluntary and spontaneous
movement on the part of the people themselves.
Having thus endeavoured to explain the grounds of
our conviction that it has become indispensably neces-
sary, as regards the mitigation of distress, the pre-
servation of the public peace, and the sTcurity of life
and property, that immediate arrangements should
be made for the adoption of an extended scheme of
emigration, and being of opinion that, in the present
state of public feeling, it is expedient that such ar-
rangements should originate with an incorporated
Executive Govern-
Company. rather than with the
ment, we Tow proceed to lay before the Court of Di-
rectors the outline of the plan in which we are our-
selves desirous to embark for founding, under the
auspices of the Company, another settlement in New
Zealand.
The new art of systematic colonization consists in
the enemployed
defraying the expense of conveying
labour of the mother country to the unoccupied land
of the Colonies, by means of the marketable value
which the approach of an industrious population eon-
fors on the previously valueless wastes of a new coun-

value it creates ; instructive, -as Suggesting precau-

a connexion for the purpose of defrauding shopkeepers
was upon the first examination established) as porter,
about the middle of June last. The shop had been
opened in Week-street, in the linen-drapery line the
day before. Beaumont was there himself,' and also a
person of the name of Charles Sydney Smith, and a
man named James Gosbell. There was likewise a
person of the name of Robert. Beaumont pre-
sent, who was represented' to be Beaumont's fa-
ther. All these three persons acted as shopmen to
Beaumont. There was very little stock in the shop when
witness first went thither, and he was there till the
shop was closed by Robert Beaumont, and during all
that time only one parcel of goods came in, and that
was a lot of flannels and other drapery goods. There
was very little custom to the shop in consequence of
„people coming repeatedly for goods which they could
not be supplied with. The shop was kept open by
Robert Beaumont • and Gosbell till Wednesday, the
10th of August, when witness closed it in the evening,
and Robert Beaumont said he would not have it
opened any more ; and told witness to get a cart next
morning, as the goods should be removed. Witness
acted accordingly, and helped Robert Beaumont to
remove the stock and furniture to a house in York-
place. The 'furniture was very trifling, and the whole
of the stock removed appeared to he worth about 601.
The stock had been diminished each time after Beau-
mont and Smith came down to Maidstone, and went
back again. Parcels which had been on the shelves
disappeared, and the shop looked more naked.
William Kimbrell said he had been a pot-boy at
the Bull and Mouth Tap, in St. Martin's-le-Grand,
for about six months previous to the middle of July
last, when he went to take a situation at the Great
Western Railway. During the time he was at the
Bull and Mouth the prisoner and several other per-
sons, amongst whose names were those of Beaumont
and Smith, used to frequent the parlour. His mis-
tress suspected the party to be swindlers, and at length
forbad them the house, but they continued to call as
long as he remained in the place.
The LORD MAYOR said they stood committed for
trial, Shackelsford for having defrauded the several
parties who prosecuted, and Gosbell for having con-
spired with several others to defraud them. His Lord-
ship said the offences were bailable, and Gosbell's bail
was accepted. Shackelsford was committed to New-
gate in default of bail.

By this arrangement, after setting aside an ade-

defraying the expense of the surveys and manage,
ment, in sending out labour to the colony, and in
effecting those improvements by which labour is
abridged. This arrangement will be found more
beneficial to the capitalist who employs labour, than
that of devoting a larger portion of the proceeds of the
land-sales to emigration, as was done in the former
settlements founded by the Company. The quantity
of work performed by two labourers, in a settlement
provided with wharfs, roads, and bridges, will be
greater than that which could be performed by those
labourers on a settlement not provided with these im-
portant facilities for rendering industry effective.
Immediate labour, when not aided by the results of
previous labour, can accomplish little : when the
nleans of communication are imperfect, a great portion
of the available labour of the community must be de-
voted not to immediate production, but to overcoming•
the difficulty of transport. Estimated, not by the
number of hands, but by the quantity of work, the
actual supply of labour will be increased by diverting
a portion of the proceeds of the land-sales from emi-
gration to the execution of works by which labour is
abridged.

the formation, under the auspices of the Com-

New Zealand House, Broad-street-buildings,
August 12, 1842.
Sir,—l am instructed by the Court of Directors of
the New Zealand Company to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter dated the 28th ult., on behalf of a
body of persons contemplating emigration to New
Zealand, in which you suggest the formation by the
Company, on the plan pointed out in your letter, of a
new settlement to be planted on some eligible site on
the eastern coast of the Middle Island. The Court
has given this proposal its serious consideration, and
I am now directed to communicate to you its views
on the subject.

GUILDHALL.
Henry Bulport and Francis Court, clerks in the
Money Order-office, at the General Post-office, St.
Martin's-le-Grand, were placed before Sir George
Carroll, charged by Mrs. Matilda Bowley, with havirp,
attempted to deprive her of two pounds. Mr. Clark-
son attended for the complainant.
After the evidence of the complainant had been heard,
The Magistrate consulted with Mr. Clarkson, and
the case was adjourned for the purpose of having the
attendance of Mr. Peacock and the constable at the
Post-office.

Tne Directors of the New Zealand Company feel
it incumbent upon them at all times to do the utmost
in their power to further the views of persons desirous
of emigrating, and to prove to them that the Company
is ever ready to perform its function as a national in-
strument of colonization. The Directors deem this
duty to be the more imperative upon them in times
like the present, when general distress pervades this
country, for which extensive colonization appears to
offer the best if' not the only prospect of substantial
relief. I have therefore to inform you, that the Court
is willing to entertain generally the proposal of a new
settlement on the eastern coast of the Middle Island
of New Zealand, provided that her Majesty's Govern-
ment will conser.t thereto, upon such terms as shall
afford the Company a reasonable remuneration for the
responsibility and risk of the undertaking ; and pro-
vided no insuperable difficulties shall be found to
arise, out of circumstances now unforeseen. With
respect to the plan which you have submitted, the
Court sees no objection to its outline ; but desires to
be understood as reserving its final judgment as to the
details, until the enterprise shall be somewhat more
matured.*

(Meadows), an English undertaker, and his wife (Mrs.
Hamby), who are making a wedding tour, and who, of
course, become the dupes of Alcibiades Blague (excel-
lently acted by Mr. A. Wigan), the Belgian guide over
the field, a gentleman who has always on hand a large
supply of toothpicks cut from the Wellington tree crib-
bage-hoards, the undoubted property of the Emperor
Napoleon, and similar equally genuine curiosities, of
which he disposes fir a valuable consideration to the
Mitirds AngLus who annually migrate from the realms
of Coehneydoin to the field of Waterloo. The gullibility
of the English gobe-mouche, and manner in which that
gullibility is made merchandise of by the race of guides
on the Continent, is excellently shown up in this
character of Crossbone. It is evidently a sketch
from the life. Among the numerous parties visiting
Waterloo is Willoughby (Mr. Bartley), a hearty old
Englishman, who is accompanied by his grandson Vin-
cent (Mr. W. Lacy), and a young widow, Angelica
(Miss Cooper), between whom lie is anxious to make a
match. On arriving, however, at the hotel Mont St. Jean,
Willoughby reffises to proceed further. He tells Vin-
cent that ho has an only son buried at Waterloo—a son
whom be had driven from his doors for his wild con-
duct, who thereupon enlisted and fell at Waterloo. Vin-
cent has no desire to escort Angelica to the field, for on
his road to Brussels he has seen a pretty girl selling
cherries, and is determined to seek her out. Just at
this juncture, who should arrive at the hotel but Jack
Halcyon (Harley), a former lover of Angelica, who, on
that lady's marriage with an old man, took the affair so
much to heart, that finding England, as he says, too
small to contain his feelings, he determined to make a
pedestrian tour of the world, took to walking and water-
drinking, until at length, like the wheel of a mill, he
took nothing but cold water and exercise. Vin-
cent informs him of the death of Angelica's husband,
introduces him again to Angelica, and sets forth in
search of the pretty cherry-seller. Vincent discovers
her abode, learns that her name is Gertrude (Mrs.
W. Lacy), that her father is an Englishman, who
wounded at Waterloo, had been nursed and tended in a
peasant's cottage, arid had made a peasant girl his wife.
It is needless to say that Vincent falls in love with Ger-
trude, and that his love is returned. Mutual explana-
tions take place ; Gertrude's father is discovered to be
the son of Willoughby ; the father and son are recon-
ciled, and Vincent receives the hand of Gertrude • while
Halcyon gives up his walking propensities, and becomes
the husband of Angelica. The plot is, as will be per-
ceived, rather flimsy, but the piece is beautifully written.
The dialogue sparkles with wit of the highest order,
and not unfrequently reminded us of Voltaire in his
happiest moods. The piece was completely successful,
and was announced by Bartley for repetition every even-
ing amidst loud applause. Long before the rising of the
curtain, the house was crammed in every part.

On the arrival of Mr. Peacock the examination was
resumed.

The defendant, in reply to the statement of com-
plainant, said he took the shilling, sovereign, and
counterfeit from the complainant. Without having
first looked at it he weighed the counterfeit, and see-
ing it was very light, he called the attention of Mr.
Court, his fellow-clCrk, to that fact. He then looked
at it, and seeing it was counterfeit he took it to the
President, and left it in his hands. He afterwards
went to Mr. Peacock's office to state the circumstances.
Sir GEORGE CARROLL asked what caused him to
leave the window after he had taken up the sove-
reigns ? Defendant said sovereigns were not weighed
within sight of the public. The scales were neces-
sarily placed out of the reach of the current from the
window. He left the window to weigh the sovereigns.
Sir GEORGE CARROLL thought this practice of going
out of the view of the public to weigh the gold was
very unsatisfactory, leaving an opening for suspicion,
if not trickery.

entirely open.

Mr. Peacock said there were two clerks engaged at
the window, and one was a check on the other.
Mrs. Bowley produced the eight new sovereigns,
one of them being of the last reign.
Francis Court said he had been in the Post-office
two years. He was at the window with the defend-
ant. Did not see him take the money from the com-
plainant, but when he was weighing it he called wit-
ness's attention to the lightness of the sovereign. He
was engaged in making an entry. The scales are
placed bstween them. Was not aware whether any
gold was lying on defendant's desk at the time he re-
ceived complainant's money. It sometimes is not put
in the bowl immediately.
Sir GEORGE asked if the bowl was kept on or in
the desk ? Witness said it was kept in a drawer, like
a banking-house.

By Mr. Peacock—lf defendant had been absent
from the window more than a minute or two witness
would have gone to it to attend on the complainant.

Sir-GEoRGE inquired the nature of the case that
had occurred before of uttering a counterfeit ? Mr.
Peacock said that was a clear case. It was detected
at once, and the party, an Irishwoman, confessed to
him that she had come to pass it wilfully, and that
somebody was waiting for her in St. Martin's-le-
Grand.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.
In consequence of the accident which happened to Mr.
Carter on Tuesday, the drama of Therese was substituted
for the Lion King at this theatre on Thursday evening,
on which occasion Miss Montgomery, late of the South-
ampton Theatre, made her first appearance before a
London audience in the character of Therese. This

Matthew Peak, the Post-office constable, was exa-
mined as to what each party said at the time, but it
did not alter the complexion of the case. In answer to a
question whether it did not occur to him that he ought
to search Mr. Bulpit and his closet, he replied that he
did not search either party, because he was under the
direction of Mr. Peacock.

young lady possesses every requisite for success in the
career which she has chosen. Her person is command-
ing, and her countenance most expressive—her voice is
melodious, and her enunciation beautifully distinct ; her
action is appropriate and graceful, and she possesses that
elegance of manner which can only be acquired by mix-
ing in good society, but without which no actress can
hope to succeed in the highest order of genteel comedy,
or in the first order of tragedy. Her debut was most
successful. She is an actress of great promise, and we
hope soon to have the pleasure of again seeing her in a
character more worthy of her talents than the part of
Therese.

Mr. Peacock said Mr. Bulpit's character stood so
high that he could not suspect him of ringing the
changes. The Alderman would observe that the
female charged him•with changing both sovereigns,
one being good, and therefore changed without an
object. He called Mr. Barth, the President of the
Money Order Office, to speak to defendant's character.
Mr. Barth expressed the highest opinion of his in-
tegrity. He was selected as trustworthy from 60
other clerks. He received about 500/. per day. The
counterfeit was brought to him for inspection.
Sir GEORGE CARROLL, after devoting an hour to
the inquiry, said that a young man receiving 5001.
a day would, if badly disposed, have so many oppor-
tunities of fraud, that he would not, like the de-
fendant, have escaped imputation till now. This was
a single case of complaint against him, and, if what
the complainant stated was true, he had committed at
the most only a mistake by placing her money near
other gold. But it was not made out that he had
made such a mistake, and Mr. Bulpit's character
placed him above suspicion of wrong doing. On the
other. hand, the story told by the complainant was
consistent in all its parts, and corroborated by the
production of the rest of the new sovereigns. She
had acted, too, ;throughout, like a person who was
positive as to the fact that both her sovereigns were
new and of the present reign, and that the sovereign
of 3eorge IV. was not one of the two she had pre-
sented. She immediately said she would seek re-
dress when her husband came home, and then she
sought relief from the Magistrate. In the absence of
more positive evidence, however, he was unwilling to
give a more decided opinion, but he trusted that in
future the money taken at the window would be
tested in the view of the public, and so prevent such
mistakes for the future.—The case was then dismissed.
Edith Rouse, the female servant who was charged
by her master and mistress with stealing three
diamond rings, was. discharged.

A TAME ELEPHANT.—Yesterday, aboutl four
o'clock, o'clock, a train of 'caravan; belonging to
wild beasts, called Hylton, passed over Vauxhall-bridge,
and excited great curiosity. Among the

and even the old cockneys, who were ashamed to join in
the crowd, accustomed to the sight of such a huge ani-
mal, covered to the heels with a sort or chintz cloth,
that the general cry was, " What creature is it ?" He
passed over the bridge free, there being no clause in
the charter for charging toll for an elephant.
DIMINUTION IN THE SUPPLY OF CALICOES, &C.—
The late turn-out among the hand and power-loom
weavers has caused a large decrease in the supply of
calicoes, domestics, and other plain productions of the
loom into the Manchester markets. Many experienced
persons being of opinion, that since the strike one and
a half million of pieces have, as it were, been with-
held ; and the same persons calculate,that before the
turn-out is completely ati an end, that the quantity will
be two millions of pieces. Yet, in the face of all this,
the prices for most of our plain staple articles are on the
decline. This fact argues no good to the, operatives
when the looms now standing are again put in motion.—

THE QUEEN'S PROGRESS.

VISIT TO STIRLING.--We understand that, the
horses fur the conveyance of her Majesty's carriages,
seventy-two in number, have been appointed to be
ready at eight in the morning of Tuesday next, at
Drummond Castle; and as her Majesty's expeditious
habits are well known, it is certain that she will be in
Stirling at not later than ten o'clock, A.M. The She-
riff and gentlemen of the county will receive her
Majesty at the Bridge of Allan, and, along with the
members of the late Stirlingshire Yeomanry Corps,
who, at the request of their Colonel, -Mr. Murray, of
Polmaise, have ::greed to turn out on the occasion,
will'escort her to the Bridge of Stirling, where she
will be met by the Provost and Magistrates, who
will there deliver to her the keys of the burgh.
Her Majesty, it is expected, will then proceed
along the road leading to the west end of
Cowane-street, up Bridge-street, St. Mary s-wynd,
Broad-street, and Mar-place, to the Castle,
escorted all the way by the Provost and Magistrates.
After leaving the Castle, her Majesty will return
down Broad. street, Bow-street, Baker-street, King-
street, and Port-street. At the end of Port-street
the Magistrates will take their leave of the Queen,
who will again be met by the Sheriff, gentlemen of
the county, and yeomanry corps, who will continue
to escort her along the road to Falkirk. Near the
latter town the tenantry of the Earl of Zetland, and
of Mr. Forbes of Callendar, will join the escort, which
will continue to attend her Majesty's progress as far
as Linlithgow-bridge, where the Royal party will be
met by the Earl of Hopetoun and Lieutenantcy of
Linlithgowshire. We understand that, with the view
of preventing her Majesty being impeded In her pro-
gress through the town, it is the intention of the
Magistrates to erect barricades in St. Mary's-wynd,
the Bow, and the upper part of Baker-street, so as to
exclude all passengers, except such as form part of
the royal cortege.—Stirling Observer.

to our spiritual character and offices. And we beg to
assure your Majesty that we shall endeavour to show
our grateful sense of such favour by labouring in. our
ministry to inculcate the duties of obedience to the
law, and of loyal and respectful attachment to your
Majesty.
" That Providence may continue to exercise that
gracious protection by which your -Majesty's life and
person have been guarded from the violence of wicked
men ; that you may be blessed in your kingdom and
in your family; and that under your fostering care
true religion may flourish in our land, and bring forth
its proper fruits of order, peace, and mutual love be-
tween all ranks and conditions of men, is the sincere
prayer of your Majesty's loyal and devoted subjects:—

THE QUEEN'S PROGRESS IN THE
HIGHLANDS.
(From the Perth Comstitutional)
Air—" Kinloch of Kinloch."
0 speed the glad tidings from mountain to mountain,
As fast as the blaze of the beacon can fly ;
In strath and in corrie, by frith and by fountain,
Each heart and each homestead shall echo the cry I
She comes, with the husband she glories to hononr,,
Already their barque is safe moored on the strand ;
Ye skies of the north smile benignantly on her,
The Queen of our love comes to visit our land.
Victoria ! believe what this harp is now sounding,
No tame-hearted child of the lowlands art thou ;
Thy forefathers reigned where thy feet are now bounding,
And gave half the circle that brightens thy brow
They look from yon clouds on their offspring delighted,
And see thee, as brave as the best of thy line ;
They bid us rejoice in a land now united,
A Prince in whom Cannier() and Alfred combine.
Then speed on thy path through our passes and valleys,
The noble to grace, and the lowly to cheer;
Thy coming will gladden both cottage and palace--
Thou'rt welcome alike to the peasant and peer.
Our bleak rugged soil to thy footsteps advancing,
No flower but the heathbell or gowan may bring ;
But round thee shall eyes be with loyalty glancing,
And pleasure and pride at thy presence shall spring.
She comes! o'er the Forth see her squadron is steering,
St. Margaret joys in a daughter so bright ;
She comes ! in the glen now her wheels are careering,
And now thq fair strati' is unfolded to sight.
Earn gently invites her, his current retarding,
To linger like him mid his banks and his bowers •
And thousands, whose hopes this glad day is rewarding,
Exult as she enters our Lyon-King's towers.
Then upwards she seeks, in her progress ascending,
The 'lay in his cradle, the deer in his lair ;
But pauses where Atholl is matchlessly blending
The wild and the winning, the grand and the fair.
Now mark, from yen loch where the river is flowing, •
The wide-spread domain of Breadalbane is seen,
Where nature and skill, hand in hand ever going,
Have fashioned a dwelling well worthy a Queen.
Once more to the Earn ; at the name of good Drummond
What harp or what bosom untouched will be found ?
He waits her approach, and his clansmen are summon'd ;
The pride of the Highlands are gathered around.
Yon antlers so proud soon shall prostrate be lying ;
The chase is pursued over forest and fell ;
0 hasten your pastimes, for time is fast flying,
The hour is at hand when she bids us farewell.
Perth, Sept. 6, 1842.
