POETRY.'

POLITICAL POLICY,
IN THE STYLE OP THE EARL OF DORSET.

Sir Knight and Son, a prudent pair,
Of Fortune'i whimsies well aware,

In Politics divide ;

The Sire was once a Patriot stoat,
But, nut much liking to be out,
He wisely charg'd his side.

The Son pursues the Father's plan,
Joins with an OrPosmon Clan,
Nay, pr'eres a Jacobin;
Rails at that Government with ire,
Which yields its bounty to his Sire,
That he too may get in.

Thus Pliicnnr.cits, brothers fam'd Of yore,
The venders of a shining ore,
Whose name adorns the metal,
In public seem'd to disagree,
ut met at night with cordial glee,
Their daily gains to settle.

So have I seen two men of Law,
In Court each other clapper-claw,

As if resolv'd to fight;
But after, make of Clients sport,
Laugh at the war they wag'd in Conit,
And pass a jovial night.

AllsS 6TEPH ENS.

The greatest share of professional popularity
ever experienced in Ireland has attended the late

tour of Miss STEPHENS in that country. Her
very delightful vocal talents in every town where
she performed brought crowded houses, and her
graceful manners, good breeding, and amiability
of character, invited the solicitude and attentions
of private friendship in a very flattering degree.
She had in Dublin the singular circumstance to
arrest her merits, of two overflowing Benefits,—
one exceeding, and the other amounting to fire
hundred pounds. In Cork, she had a Benefit pro-
ducing three hundred pounds—the greatest sum
ever received in the Theatre of that City. On
this occasion, though the Pit had been railed in
at Box prices, in consequence of the extraordinary
demand for Box tickers, several hundreds were
obliged to leave the doors who could not procure
accommodation. In the small Theatre at Lime-
rick, her Benefit produced the unprecedented sum
of nearly two hundred and fifty pounds; and one
at Waterford, in a temporary Theatre, was almost
equally productive. The. same success has never
before Miss Stephens's time rewarded the labours
of the Theatrical Profession in Ireland, and it af-
fords a very creditable proof of the high estima-
tion in which talents are held by the Irish public,
more especially when recommended by the worth
of private character.

Miss Stephens we perceive, by the Dublin
Papers, and indeed have informed our Readers,
has recently announced a set of Subscription
Concerts, the first of which collected so great a
body of the rank, respectability, and fashion of
that City, as almost to overflow the Concert
Room. The succeeding ones promised audi-
toties equally numerous. It seems, that in testi-
mony of her very great gratitude to the public of
Dublin tor favours so unexampled as that which
had been extended to her, she made an otter of the
fourth part of the clear profits of her Concerts to
an Institution which has been established there
for the suppression of Mendicity, in consequence
of which, as being considered a very peculiar
in-
stance of generosity, the Committee of the
Mendicity Association expressed its sense of ob-
ligation to Miss Stephens, as well as its accept-
ance of liberality so uncooked for, by the follow-
ing resolution, which was published in the Dublin
Papers

MISS STEPHENS having in the most liberal and hand.
some manner volunteered to contribute the Fourth Part of
the Profits of her intended Concerto, in aid of the Funds o!

the Assocation fur the Suppression of Street Begging, the
Association beg to return their grateful thanks to her for
such distinguished benevolence; and while with the warmest
thanks they accept her disinterested assistance, they trust
that the Public will patronize her exertions as well on her
own account, as that by so doing, they will add materially to
the Funds of this Association, the objects of which are so im-
portant, extensive, and useful."

With respect to the Concerts alluded to, the
Dublin Prints state, that they met with consider-
able opposition from the Proprietor of the Crowe-
street Theatre, who had interdicted some of the
persons engaged in the Orchestra of that Theatre
from performing at them, although, that establish-
ment had not opened. This singular hostility,
which was mote injurious to the Performers
in question than even to Miss Stephens, result,
cd, as we understand, from the refusal of that
Lady to play every night, during her engagement
at Cork, in Opera and Afterpiece, as being con-
trary to the tenor and spirit of her agreement
with the Crowe-street Proprietor, and b►•yond
her physical strength and constitution. Her en-
gagement in Cork, it seems, bound Miss Ste-
phens to perform six nights in the week for a
fortnight, and with such unremitting exertion,
the augmentation of her duties by adding After-
pieces each night, might have impaired her health
and greatly injured her voice. A Northern pro-
vincial engagement in Ireland, will, we are in-
formed, conclude Miss Stephens's professional
labours in that country.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF A WILL.—The
following is copied from a recent Chester Paper :
About 4 years ago, a man, possessed of very con-
siderable property, died, bequeathing his effects to
his daughter, in exclusion to his son and wife.
His Will, it seems, fell into the hands of his wile,
with whorl the son was a favourite, and to pre-
vent its being carried into effect, she buried it,
together with what other valoahle papers she
could collect, in the coffin with her hitsbantl. A
few weeks ago, being on her death-bed, she
confessed the particulars to a female friend, en-
joining her not to isclose the tact till after her
death. The ‘vidow is nrw dead, and application
is making at Doctors' Commons to take up the
coffin of the deceased wan, which, it is understood,
will be granted.
