CONSOLATION.

The now'[ of love have you seen,
Ye shepherds who honour the May,
Delightfully sweet is its mein,
When wariu'd by Aurora's first ray.

So PM LIM'S smiles to my breast
Contentment and pleasure impart ;
The sun was set down in the west,
When I bow'd to the pride of my heart.

As ling'ring we travers'd the vale,
The suit of her shepherd she heard;
More sweet than the rose-hreathine gale
Were her lips when she tuter'd the word.
A pleasinz delirium steals over my breast,
For nay Puna DA's hand strews the poppies of rest.

CONSUMMATION.
Two roses, twi❑ sisters that grew,
Of turtles a pair from their nest,
Begiit with a ribbo►l of blue,
The Sweet nuptial uniun expresed.

Dear emblems of innocent bliss,
Did you merit we Pf ii as's s•nile,
Your presents I scarf] with a kiss,
Anti bad a farewell to my toil.

Nex t morning our gay village hand
To church my dear Pututm bore,
With pleasure I gave her my hand,
Aly heart had been tier's long before.
And now gentle Hymen your blessing bestow,
The turtles shall bill and the roses shall Wow.

THE THE ATH ES.

DRITRY-LANK..--The Opera of Lionel and Cla-
rissa was repeated last night. Mr. C. FlSlikiß,
animated by success, was tune self-possessed,
but not more respectfully modest. Ile performed
the part of Lionel with very evident feeling, as
well as good sense, and was much applauded.
Miss \VITHAM was not less favourably received in
Clarissa She is a very interesting young Lady, and
supported the part in a 'Harmer that justified the
applause which she received. She ac►luitted her-
self so well in a fine Bravura by GUGLIELMI,
which MARA sung with such IlHestiC expression,
that she was encored last night, as she was on her
previous performance.—One passage was over-
looked in the revival : the Maid expresses
her hope that Lionel will not lose his fine

hair when be becomes a Clergyman, while, in
reality, he is a crop of the day. iIIuNDEN in Co-
lonel 016(1 vas again highly diverting, and he
excited mild; laughter when he called Jessamy a
Dandy, the Coxcombs of that description being
now generally despised.—The atterpiece was The
Tale of Mystery. which was well Fiipported in the
chief parts by 11. JONNSTUN, 11. KLMBLE, and
BENGOUGH.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The new piece, entitled
Proof Presumptive, or The Abbey of St. Marco, was
repeated last night, but not quite so favour-
ably received as at first. The Public is very
capricious in its reception of Actors and Dramas,
warmly applauding at one time in both respects,
what at another it would consign at once to
oblivion.

Intelligence front Qteher and Montreal has
arrived to the date of the 19th ult. On the
the shock of an earthquake was felt at Quebec,
along the base of the mountains to the northward
of that city. It is represented as haring heen
sufficiently powerful to cause a tremulous motion
of the windows of the houses and of the furniture.
By a census lately made, it appears that the popu-
lation of Montreal and its suburbs amounts to
about 24,000 inhabitants. The Earl and Countess
of Selkirk arrived at Niagara towards the latter
end of August, and, after a short stay, proceeded
in the steam-boat for Sandwich. His (race
the Duke of Richmond and suite had arrived at
Kingston front Lower Canada, in the steam-boat
Charlotte. On his landing at the King's wharf,
a salute of 19 guns was fired. The prospects with
regard to the harvest were very good, in both the
provinces. The land, front the head waters of
the twelve-mile creek to Chippawa River, had been
examined, to ascertain the practicability of cut-
ting a canal, and connecting the waters of the
Upper Lake with Ontario. The belief was pret y
general that this desirable object might be effected
at a moderate expense.
