POETRY,

ADVICE TO CHLOE, . .
Th' averted head, the scornful tow,
Say L bare sinri'd; bat say not bow.
In search of more than earthly bliss,
'Tis true, I press'd a fervent hiss ;
Is that me crime ? Will you not hare it ?
Return it then to hint who gave it.

*#s The Lines which appeared in our Paper on Wednesday,
and which were sent to us as the production of Lord BraoN,we
find were not written by that Nobleman, but by Mr. h. A
Warrs, the Conductor of THE New MoNrimi, MAGAzit,m.
The child to whom they are addressed is the eighth of the nine
Daughters of Mts. LAatirNo, Aunt of Lord POWERSCOURT,
and Sister of the Hon. Mrs. WINGFIELD STRATFORD. We
ale by no means inclined to retract, but rather to confirm,
our praise of the Lines in question, and as the Author is
only in his 21st year, we may reasonably expect that he will
distinguish himself among our best Poets; and we may add,
that the Work, conducted by such a promising young Writer,
cannot fail to increase its already well-merited reputation.

THE THREE, WORTHIES,
BURDETT, HUNT, and COBBETT.

A letter from CORBETT, expressing his contempt
of HUNT, two years before he knew him, having
previously been read on the Hustings, Howl., on
Sa'urda~•, read the following Extract of a Letter
firm) COBBETT, stating his opinion of Sir FRANCIS
libanETT and his Committee, alter an experience
of twelve years in judging of their character :
" North Hampstead, Long Island, March 18, 1818.
_

" Depend upon it the crisis for attaining Reform is nearer
at hand than you think it is ; and a great deal nearer than
the Tyt ants think. lam so much afraid of nothing as lam
of the deceptio❑ which may be practised by the Baronet and
his elan. His clan, the Rump, consists of fellows, who
would ,rather all should remain as it is, than see a real Re-
form. A parcel of poor pitiful rascals, who stilt cling to the
system at bottom. He has too much of the Press for him.
There is nobody for us and real Reform, but the men whom
our Tyrants call the ' lower orders.' You hive only to pre-
serve your health and keep clear of spies, both which I most
anxiously hope you will do. You will have seen before now,
what a pretty figure the Baronet has cut in Parliament; he
has a very difficult game to play. Talk big he must ; and yet,
if Ire does, Castlereagh will taunt him with Isis cowardly con-
duct. He must seek refuge in the ranks of the Whig,s.--L
. The Baronet's delay in Ireland is a grand ruse de guerre. It
is a pretty thing to see him revelling with Bosoughmongers
in Ireland, while his deputies are pining in dungeons, and
their wives and children starving. God Almighty ! what an
infamy! How easily might be have fed and clothed the
whole of these poor starving and distressed mortals! And
what a useful thing would this have been in a political point'
of view! A thousand pounds would have kept them all for a
year ! Can this man be sincere ? Was it Rot his duty to
support them? Well—l am weary of thinking cf him. -

KING% THEATRE.--The grandliallet.of Apelies
Campaspe, the production of the celebrated
NovaRRE, the SHAKSPEARE of his art, and which
was formerly so much admired in the higher cir-
cles, was revived on Saturday with,so much beauty
and magnificence, that it is .to be regretted that it
was not brought for Ward earlier in the season, as
it must be highly gratifying not only to the new
race" of frequenters of this Theatre, which has
arisen since its, original representation, but to
those who remember it in the best days of the
Opera, when LE PICO. and Vaims were. the he-
roes of the scene. It was very-well received by a
very nutnerous audience, and will mark the close
of the season with due splendour.
MARRIAGE OF LORD COCIIRANE.—On the 22d
ult. Lord CoCIIR ANC was married, by license, in
