Sunday morning the 22d inst. the 'thrashing-
machine belo.aging to Mr. 'tau., farmer at Linton,
and early on Monday morning, Linton corn-milk,
tenanted by JAMES AluaotE, were discovered to be
on file. Although considerable damage accrued,
yet in both cases the active exertions of the
neighbours prevented the flames from communi-
cating With the adjoining. buildings. But we feel
much regret in adding, that, from several circum,
stances, there seems but too much reason to fear
that the fires were wilful. As a precognition is
now going on, we shall only add, at inthre-
diately preceding, or during the conflagration at
Linton Mill, a considerable sum of money was
stolen Irons the miller's dwelling-house;,--(ktho

The young English Lions, whelped at the Me-
nagerie, Exeter 'Change, so far from partaking
of the ferocious spirit 'of iheir noble Sire and
Dam, are even move docile titan the tamest of
our English dogs ; and it is really onions to see
how quiescently they receive the fondling cut
braces of Ladies and Children of both sexes. At
nine o'clock, when they are fed in common with
the large Collection of other noble Animals at
this Depot, it is astonishing, indeed, to see the
immense number of Visitants ; it affords the phi-
losophic mind a rare opportunity of appreciating
the correctness of Buffon on Natto.sl History.
Tuesday night the premises of Messrs. Paine,
at Shadwell, were broken into, and robbed of

drawecs in the back room.

POETRY.

SONN ET.

EASTER SUNDAY.

Let all the Tribes of Earth exultant sing
Loud Hallelujahs on this -glorious Morn.; • •
When from the' rave., for that high purpose burn,
Tu freaven ascended our immortal King.
The songs of Angels, who, with gladsome Wing,
Throng'd round their Lord, succeeded to clan's scorn ;
And radiant *glory to the 'deicing thorn—
Tiitimphant, thus he, ruse. Where now thy sting,
0 Death,—thou hat no terrors for the good;
Thou art the friend then' whom they gain the prize
Of Faith firm kept; and_Sin as firm withstood;—
'Tis from rhy shadowy vale that =they Must rise,
suannon'il hence, thro' Cants t's redeeming blood,
To share t he endless raptures of the skies.
PHILECCLESIAST.
