MY HOME ! MY HOME ! I LOVE MY HOME !

By Ann Eliza Crossthwaite. Monro and May.
These are pretty melodies, totally unambitious, very
easy, and might be pleasing to those whose taste has not
kept pace with the times. We had some difficulty in
finding a meaning for the verses, fur we cannot call such
composition poetry.

I'LL LOVE BUT THEE, MY NATIVE
HOME—BALLAD.
Sung by Miss Dolby, and Music composed by Mrs. John
Holman Andrews. Munro and May.
This song is a much better composition. The accom-
paniment is more carefully written, and especially whk
sung by so charming a vocalist as Miss Dolby, cannct
fail to please. •

H OLLAND.

THE HAGUE, MAY 2.—The Second Chamber of the
States General, in its sitting of April 30, received a
Royal Message, with a project of law for regulating the
application of the surplus of the finances of the colonies
for the year 1842. The project of law was accompanied
by an explanatory memorial and other documents.
" We, William, &c.

PROJECT OF LAW.

" Having taken in consideration that, according to the
estimates which have been made, the receipts in the
mother country for account of the colonial administration
during the present year, will exceed the legal expenses
of the colonies, to be defrayed out of the said receipts, by
the sum of 4,900,000 florins, which sum will constitute
the excess disposable in favour of the mother country,
" Desiring to regulate the application of the excess,
conformably to the last part of Article 59 of the Funda-
mental Law.

"For these reasons, with the advice of our Council of
State, and in concert with the States General, we have
decreed and decree by these presents.
" The probable excess of the amount of the receipts
and expenditure of the Colonies for 1842, kept by the
Colonial Department, estimated at the sum of 4,900,000
florins, more or less as the case may be, should be paid
into the public treasury, in the course of this year, by
our Colonial Minister. This excess, conformably to Art.
10 of the Law of October 14, 1841, shall serve towards
defraying the expenses comprehended in the Budget for
1842.

The CHAr amAN then put the question that the Report
be received and adopted, which was carried unanimously.
-The CuatuNANthen stated that the next business of
the meeting Ivyuld besto elect four Dirolors iii The room

names of thoSe four gentlemen were---,-John. Griffith
Frith, Esq., Hunter Gordon, Esq.. John Rawson, Esq.,
and John Riddle Stodart, Esq, The principle of the
Office was that Directors went out every two years.
These gentlemen were all candidates for the office, and
if it was the pleasure of the meeting to re=elect them, he
would put the question.
The CHAIRMAN then put the question, that the four
Directors be re-eleeted, and declared it to be carried
npanimously,_.

any objection to state the I-ta:mut of the income of the
Society during the last year?

The CRAIIikAN said it was about 2:7,,000/.. per-annum,
but they were so near malting their mathematical state-
ment, that they thought it unnecessary to give the
amount in the 'Report. The Society had done a great
deal of business in- connexion with money lending.-
They had published two tables, A. and 8., which
were favourable for loans for short periods, not
only loan:; which they made themselves,- but loans
which were made unconnected with them. The-
sums which had been received on those policies which
were now lapsed and become extinct amounted to about
7,00 C/. There were many other things which might have
been stated, but the Directors had ecnfined themselves to
those points only which they considered necessary. At
the same time, he would be most happy to answer any
question which might be put by the meeting.
No Proprietor intimating a wish to put any question.

Mr. HINTON moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman

found worthrof the trust which had been reposed in
them.They-Would do all in their power to make the
Society prosperous, and to manage its business with care,
vigilance, and honesty.—(Cheers.)

TEXAS.

Emigrants are pouring into Texas, from all quarters, with
plenty of pus, powder, ball, and money; and it is more than
probable that Mexico will be invaded this summer by the
l'exians. The army of the latter is now 3,000 strong, and is
concentrating on the Guadeloupe river.
Other accounts say that the people are thinking of a return
to their plough-shares and pruning-hooks for a season, or until
a sufficient demonstration on the part of the Mexicans shall
have been made to warrant an onslaught. General Houston
has sat himself down at Houston, determined to wait until he
gets something tangible to shoot at.
An interesting incident is chronicled by the Fort Pickering
Eagle. While donations were being made in relief of the
Texian volunteers, a pang lady, prompted probably by a feel-
ing of patriotism, natural on such occasions, took from her
neck a string of coral beads, which she presented to the auc-
tioneer, then at his vocation, in order that it might b. sold—it
being the only article of value at her disposal at that time. It
was sold and returned to the auctioneer by the various pur-
chasers to be resold, we understand, at least a dozen times.
The last purchaser returned it to the fair donor, but sho re-
jected it, saying she had presented it to the company, and dial
not desire that it might be returned. " Keep it, then," re-
plied the purchaser," as a memorial of what it has done, and
wear it in memory of your departed friends!"

MASQUES, OR LUDI.

The following is a bill preserved, or an order for
dresses, "ad faciendum htdos domini regis, ad festum
natalis domini, celebratos apud Guldeford"—for fur-
nishing the masques or mummings of the King, held
at the 'castle of Guildford, at the feast of Christmas. In
these Judi, says the record, were expended 80 tunics of
buckram of various colours, 42 visors, of various simi-
litudes; that is, 14 of the fades at' women, -14 -of the
faces of men with beards, 14 of the heads of angels,
made with silver ; 28 crests ; 14 mantles embroidered
with heads of dragons;; 14 white tunies7iiibilithtith
heads and wings of peacocks ; 14 or•SWatisx with
wings ; 14 tunics painted with eyes of peacliekiTl4
tunics of English linen painted; and as inahys
embroidered with stars of gold and silver.
ANOTHER COSTUME OF KING EDWARD.
In the first part of the historical play of King
Edward, by T. Heywood, Hobbs, the turner, inquires
Who is he in the long-beard; and the red petticoat ?
I misdoubt Ned, that it is the 'King : I know- it by
Lord What-ye-call's players." The King replies,
" How by them, tanner.?" Hobbs answers, " Ever
when they play a masque or an enterloute at Tam-
worth, the King is alwaies in a long beard and a red
gowne like him." The King returns answer, " No,
tanner; this is hot the King; this man is the Lord
Mayor of London."

Ldvvarti the Third is noted by the old chroniclers
as being the first of our English Monarchs (Rymer's
Foedera, torn: v.) who encouraged the clothiers, and
enacted new sumptuary laws. So early as the fifth
year of his reign, John Kempe, a Flemish woollen
manufacturer of great repute, came into this country
with his workmen and apprentices, and the reception
he met with from the King was so favourable, that in
the same year, no fewer than seventy families of the
Walloons followed his example, and were followed by
crowds of others. The magnificent cloth of ray was
brought to perfection in his time.
THE BANQUET DAINTIES OF EDWARD
London, England, 1842-05-12

W ORSHIP-STREET.-(T HIS DAY

A DRUNKARD'S CAREss.—William Henry Blake, an
elderly man of demure deportment, was charged with having
attempted to strangle Joseph Moss, a child three months old.
Ann Lyar, the child's sister-in-law, stated that she
was engaged in nursing it at her mother's door on
the preceding evening, when the prisener came up
and wrung the child's nose, at the same time pressing his hand
upon its mouth, until it became black in the face, and was on
the very point of being suffocated. She screamed loudly for
assistance, upon which the prisoner made off; but he was pur-
sued by the child's mother and several other persons, who gave
him into custody. The prisoner was very much intoxicated.
In his defence, the prisoner said that he was excessively fond
of children, having brought up no less than ten of his own, and
that he merely intended to give the child an affectionate caress.
Two or three witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner
a good character for humanity and general propriety of conduct.
The prisoner was severely lectured by the Magistrate, and
fined 10s., or three weeks' imprisonment.

COWES, MAY 11.—An accident of a most serious
nature occurred near the Needles last evening. Mr. Wm.
Ffarrington, son of Captain Ffarrington, of Woodvale, near
Cowes, had been there shooting with Mr. Lstwick, son of the
Comptroller of the Port of Cowes. The young gentlemen had
been on shore, and were getting into the boat, when Mr.
Ffarrington's gun, which was lying in the boat, cocked by
some accident, and went off, lodging the contcnts in his left
arm. It was three hours before he reached Yarmouth to ob-
tain medical assistance, after which he was removed in a very
d n'croua state to W'ncdvaie, v hen this rrmrnini.; his arm was
amputated above the elbow. Ile is now going on favourably.
Drs. Llofimeister, Cass, and Martell are in attendance.

THE HAMBURGH FIRE:::

N consequence of the great destruction of Books,
T
Papers, &c., through depositing them in Common Iron
Safes and Tin Boxes, which afford no security in case of fire,
C. CHUBB & SON beg to call the no' ice of the public to
their PATENT FIRE-PROOF STRONG ROOMS,
Chests, Salt s, and Boxes, which are perfectly secure against
the force and ingenuity of the most skilful and determined
burglar, and have been subjected to the following severe tests
from fire :
" Saw Mills, Grosvenor-basin, Pimlico, Jan. 25, 1836.
" We certify that these papers were enclosed in Chubb's
Patent Fire-proof Box, and exposed in the furnace of a steam-
engine of 22-horse power, by which the box became red hot in
three minutes, and remained in the furnace in that state for a
considerable time, and were taken out in our presence perfectly
uninjured.-11. R. Arnz, E. W. Lower, R. Goodman,
Engineer."
At the fire at Messrs. Boyle and Co.'s premises in Dublin,
the books were preserved by being deposited in ene of Chubb's

By the Great Western, which arrived at Liver-
pool yesterday, in 121 days, from New York, bring-
ing twenty-eight passengers, we have new York
papers to the 28th ult., inclusive. We are glad to
say that the news they bring is of a cheering cha-
racter. The negotiations, it is said, with England,
were making a rapid' progress, and everything indi-
cated that all the subjects in dispute would be satis-
factorily arranged. The weather was fine, and the
season spoken of as' remarkably promising. Trade
had begun to revive, prices were looking up, and it
was the general opinion that the worst was passed.
The disputes in the State of Rhode Island, relative
to the formation of a new constitution, continued, and
the volunteer corps had been formed to protect person
and property against the revolutionary party. The
little State was quite in a turmoil, and excited consi-
derable interest in the other parts of the Union.

The Britannia had arrived out in fourteen and a
half days. A Bill had been reported in the Senate
to provide for such cages as that of ALIMANDER
INPLzon. It gives to the Judges of the Supreme
Court of the United States power to grant 'a writ of
Habeas in such cases, and to hear the cause, discharg-
ing the prisoner if he be entitled to his discharge.
