EASE, ELEGANCE, AND ECONOMY:

Ye buyers, who needful frugality use,
Repair to the Strand for your Boots and your Shoes,
The house bearing number, (though cavillers laugh
At fractional pi/its) thirty-three and a half;
Where best Boots and shoes of establish'd renown
Are sold, and the cheapest of any in town,
• •
The characteristics of Fashion that hear,
And noted are also for durable wear—
Ye then, who in graceful exterior would shine,
Yet prudently who to cheap purchase incline,
The Mart, Thirty-three and a Half, in the Strand
Resort, Boots and- Shoes of rare worth to command
Economy, elegance, ease, that supply,
And workmanship that with perfection may vie.

Under the head 4‘ American Poetry," the
New Times" Of this morning has ingeniously inserted a
poem " On his own Nose," wiitten by Mr. Horace Smith,
four years since in the New Morally Magazine.

Dr. Cadogan dining -one day at a college din-
ner, after discoursing most elegantly and forcibly, on absti-
nence, temperance, and particularly against pie-crust and
pastry, addressed a brother M.D. in the following terms
Pray, doctor, is that a pigeon-pie near you ?" " Yes,
Sir." " Then I will thank you to send me the hind-
quarters of two pigeons—some fat of the beef-steak, a good
portion of the pudding-crust, and es much gravy as you
can spare !" Wadd's Maxims.
LONDON CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY.—On
Saturday last, a meeting of this Society took place at their
rooms, No. 36, Red Lion-square. Several females of re-
spectability and fashion were present, amongst whom we
observed Lady Elizabeth Dawson, sister to the Marquis of
Westmeath, and others of rank. The chief object of this
meeting was to hear the most recently-formed opinions of
Mr. Owen, of New Lanark, in Scotland, and of New Har-
mony, in America,, as to the probable success of the plans
which be has so long advocated. After a very elegant
public breakfast, given by the Society at nine o'clock, the
object of the meeting was entered upon by Mr. Owen.
He said, that so much more strongly was he convinced
now than ever, of the utility, nay, the necessity, of forming
amongst the labouring classes of the population of this
country, such societies and communities as those which he
had already so successfully established, both in Scotland and
America, that he had determined to call public meetings at
once upon the subject; but he was induced to postpone
that determination, until he should see the effect of an ad-
dregs upon the subject, which he had that day published,
clearly and explicitly submitting his views to the labouring
and mechanical classes of the country. He could not at
the same time but declare it as his maturely confirmed
opinion to -the meeting, that the situation of this country
was at present such as to convince him that it was daily
progressing nearer to a crisis, that must inevitably be at-
tended with a general dismemberment of the state of society
as it at present exists; pauperism, the certain consequence
of a want of labour, it must be evident to every one, is
daily and hourly increasing, and must continue to increase,
so long as machinery is made a substitute for manual opera-
tion. And there can be no doubt but in the end, the
whole of the labouring classes, with very little exception,
will be superseded and throWn out of employ by the more
cheap and expeditious operations of machinery, and nothing
can remain to ,them as a means of subsistence, but the
establishment
,of a syetena of general co-operation uniting
the interests classes'. Several other gentlemen ad-
dressed the meeting, until about two o'clock, when the So-
ciety adjourned.

A TALE OF WOE.--A few
evenings since,
was proceeding from Northwieh
as a commercial traveller
, wwhrlr his attention
towards Warrington, when near
an adjoining
an infant in
was aroused by the moans of a female
her arms, was sitting under a hedggeinnioi
hjoining field.
The gentleman alighted from his
in-
quired of the distressed object of his attentionaletintn•aeluYSe
her grief, and at the same time offered her his
pathetic terms she implored him to let her remain whceeree In
then was, and die there with her child. The gentleman,
however, convinced her that she should not give herself :'
, to despair, and added, that he would take her and her
hal in his gig to the next inn, and would
furnish her
with money, if she was destitute, for her immediate
wants. The offer was accepted, and the poor crea_
tore having received some food and a little wine, and
gives maternal nourishment to the babe, said she was
travelling towards Liverpool, and hoped to embark
from that port for Dublin, where she expected to join
her husband, hut that on the road she had been robbed
of some clothes and the few shillings she possessed, and
had been other;rise ill-used by some villains. Humanity
inspired th,e gentleman to relieve her wants, and for-
ward ner
y coach to Liverpool. What adds an interest
to this story
is, that the object so timely relieved is the
daughter of a wealthy gentleman of Somersetshire, lately
deceased, who was-so`Oftended at her marriage with a pri-
vate soldier, that he re-made his will, and disinherited her.
On his death-bed he relented, but too late to alter the
fatal deed, by which his daughter is deprived of an ample
t uttune. The soldier, to whom she is married, is the son
of
4iiiso opulent gentleman, and in consequence of some fa-
Y quarrels, entered the ranks as a private.-21faccles-
