Genius of ancient Greece! whose living fire
Role from the chaos of primev.l night;
Vint caught the dime the bold Mccerrixo lyre,
Whose ntinstrrl, w:th a m than mortal eight,
Darted his dating high-barn soul to soar
Far through th' inhnttude of thought sublime;
Fraught with the spoil of Nature'i &Maul store.
Thi crielling song pour'd forth, which agP and clime
Reclaim% from dark oblivion, and the tide of time!
Genius of ancient Greece! by whom inspired,
Amid his country's woes, a patrio: stood,
Whose glowing words, with ardour fired,
Pour% in resistless torrents, like the trod
Of Ganges or the Nile, uncbili'd by fear,
Or the high rage of Faction's rancorous hate,
Ile check% the slespot in his mad career, •
When j rt iug interests, in the fierce debate,
Rock'd from its solid base the fabric of the State!
Genius of ancient Greece! Parent divine •
Of all that's glorious in the rolls of fame,
The• vast, the wild, the besuteoes, and sublime,
In nature or in science ! Let the 6 tme,
The Vital breath of thy enewled praise
Inspire my kindling spirit, while,my lay,
Rapt with the theme. oh, Greece ! invite:! strays
O'er thy free cincture and with fond delay
Dwells oti its seagirt gems, lav'd by old ocean's spray!

BRADFORD COMBERS AND WEAVERS.

FROM.THE LEM): DITELLWENCER.

The a turn outs" of these deluded persons ate at an
end. On Friday last, at ten o'clock in the morning, the
Combers and Weavers ayembleJ, as usual, at the Union
Pay Room, to receive their weekly allowance. The
Committee not having any funds at that time to meet
the demand, requested the men to come again at one
o'clock in the afternoon. They accordingly assembled
at • that hour, and they were told to call again at two
o'clock, and then V:ey were desired to call again at
three o'clock, no money having yet arrived. These
sever al postponements took place in consequence of the
hourly expectations, throughout the day, of a return of a
deputation from Leeds, with the requisite supply of
cash. . When the men came at three, they were de•
tained till half-past, waiting the arrival of the messen-
gers from Leeds. As soon as the latter appeared, notice
was given for the a turn outs" to call again on Saturday
morning, adequate funds not having been hitherto ob-
tained. Meantime the Committee increased their exer-
tions, and those who had been disappointed all day on
Friday, were paid on Saturday, but the payment of
those otos se ho usually received their allowance on
Saturday was deferred to Monday.
The circumstances just detailed made a sad inapres.
*ion on the unfortunate operatives, and apprehending
that in future the affairs of the Union would become
rather worse than better, the comber: who had been
employed by Mr. John Wood, jun. to the number of one
hunited, went on Saturday evening to that Gentleman,
and offered to return to work at the old wages ; and
such ef them as sere accepted, took out their {tombs
fot th wi h.
Monday morr.ing, the allowance to the a turn outs,"l
due on Saturday, was paid, and the allowance to the rest
of the Union in the cour,:e of the day. When the men
ass mhled in the morning, they,collected into groups at
Tester's reconmenclation—tho,e of each master by
thernselvcs—and in convqesence a general agreement
was come In to tiler theireertices to their employers at
the old price.. Many nf them accordingly proceeded
to the madufacturets for this purpose, and such as were
received, might afterwards he seen io numbers paying
through the streets of Bradford, with small packs of
wool on their backs, and combs 'and oil cans in their
hands, on their way homewards. On Monday about
a: hundred and fifty of Mr. Wood's ?,en had been set to
worlc,-and a hundred and twenty he was obliged to re-
ject,in. emisequence of ' that number of combs having
been'ineviously sent to Kildwick, where be had recently
transferred a portion of his business.
Messrs. Rands and Mr. Rouse likewise set numbers

of it.eir fs rmer hands to woak ou similar terms. *With

respea to the statements of Testers earnings, made by
. Masts. Rand and by himself, we *conceive the whole
question to resolve itself into this-...what could Tester
easn, not what he chose to earn ? Now on the former,
Messrs hands statement is conclusive, for, if during six
comical, us weeks a man obtained 225. I Id. per week,
at thcttsUal rate of working, it must be his own fault
that, on the same terms, he did not earn as much per
week during the subsequent three weeks. The follow-
ing we received from our correspondents last night:
a BRADFORD, Nov. 9. 1825.
"Since my. last, changes the most important have taken place.—
Novo kiwi:Wing the high tone of the ReSolutiOn 'mask(' by the men
on Monday week, not to turn in without the full.advance 'which
they had ch nianded, all who have been able to get employment at
the old prices have guile to work, but a serious number yet remains
unemployed, though how many Liarnbt learn. Tester set off Co
London, this Morning, by the Rockingham, but the TeMjiNder of the
committee aria yet at the Roebuck ; I believe their resources have
all,or nearly all, failed. They will not be able to make any furthee
payment to the unemploya.d men, so that if the Latter cannot meet
with Work, theiwal tee severely distressed. Thus aids the
ford Contest.' "

" Knatmzr, Nev. 9, 1825..

" The inkaltitauts of Keighley congratulate wilt ether upon the
termination of the Bradford contelt. The trade still continues in a
depreised state : instead of advanced wages being given, our manu-
facttirees have reduced combing one-halfpenny per lb.and numbers of
comberi are setn loitering about the streets, out of Employment."

ORIENTAL BON TON.

CALCUTTA, Fn. 15.

Mac CASEMENT'S Penh.—lt seems that the ap-
proaching dep.'s, titre of the cold season but gives a fresh
spirit of hilarity and festivity to the few days which as,
yet remain. Yesterday, Mrs. Casement again gave an
entertainment which could not but have ,teighted every
individual who eras th Te. In de-c:ibing tarrcy si ess
and masked balls the language of hy pi thole is often
used ; hut to express the delight every one r x;.ecienced
yesterday in such terms would be to outhype;6Glify
hyperbole itself. In fair set and sober terms, then,
Mrs. Casement laid oat her extensive house in a man-
ner which would have done 4onour to the rno:t refined
taste; the terraces were arched ever with boughs and
flowers, while several shady and retired bowers added
much to the scenery. The day was Bt. Valentine's,
and in several of these recesses were lasses, parfait
amour, &c. advertised to be sold ; if one night judge'
from the customers, those bonbons were highly esteemed
—their efficacy remains hereafter to be proved. The,
decorations Ind the house itself were admirable, and it
would be wrong to say that the characters were not 1,
so likewise; the worthy hostess had taken care
nothing should be wanting on her part, and her
guests were not behindhand on theirs. Every person'
supported their characters with spirit, and merriment
was the order of the evening. There were two or three
groups which had a pretty effect ; a party of archers ap-
pealed in dress's which did credit to the taste of the in-
ventor, and some Knights of the Order of the GAden
Fleece were pre.eminenz in the gorgeous splendour of
their appatel. A group of Savoyards, singing French
chansons, attracted general attention, and their eat ly de.
parture was much lamented. A Chinese party, in admir-
able costume, could not fail of exciting adniii aiion,
while a party of remits with drum and fife, and sin-
gularly ridiculous appearance, caused much laughter.
There were many ind vidual characters excellently well
unspotted, among which may be noticed M.:11 Flagon
capital to the life, and a country fellow in a smockfrock;
neither was Jrhu with his box-coat, nor Jack and his
wife, one whit behind the rest in fun and excel-
lence. Notwithstanding the numbers who were present,
from ihe capacity of the hous-, those who preferred
dancing to joining the masks had plenty of room ; and so,
what with quadrilling,waltzing,singing, laughing,eating
and drinking, this certainly was one of the merriest,
evenings which has been spent for a long while. Mrs.
Casement's pries ate celeb'ated ; but this one was
outhrtoding Herod. Ida n -it tell of the supper, for
where everything was excellent such an essential could
never be forgotten. if the pleasure and happiness of
the guests be the test of their host's attention, I am sure'
Mrs. Casement must have felt gratified, and be paid
for all the exertion she incessantly made for their amuse-
ment.—Burkoru.

By trivate edifices from Gibraltar to the 18:1) tilt:
we learn that business was very brisk there, and that
the cargoes both of manufactures arid wheat went off
well. Hard wheat was worth 35.. arrd.4ls. per var.
ter, and at tha: price three-cargoes had- been sold on the
day the ship•sailed.
