BEAUTY.
Beauty itself much more enhances
By looks retied, than forward glance• ;
Thus, when a flow'ret hangs it's bead,
And droops beneath th' envious shade
Of gayer flowers, with ford conceit
We draw it from its close retreat ;
Then, pined, we proudly view it, where
Few with it's beauties can compare ;
So modest I tveliness, once knoc•r.
Shires with a spkndour all its owl, ;
While, with disgust, man shuns the eye
That courts familiarity !

DESPERATE AND FATAL AFFRAY Al ROSE-
GREEA:

At one o'clock on Thursday se'nnipht, an outrage
was committed on persons placed by Mr. Newenham's
orders on that part of the lands of Railimarthy which
belongs to him. o:ie man, it is stated, was killed on
the spot, and three others desperately wounded ; one of
the latter lies to dangerously ill in the Infirmary at Ca-
shel, th it very little hopes are entertained of his reco-
very. About a week ago Mr. Newenham's agent, Mr.
Cuthbert, placed a number of keepers, brought from
C 'she' and the county of Cork, on these lands, in order
to prevent the corn and potatoes from being taken away.
Several of these, in consequence of want of accommo-
dation, the country pelple having refused to give any
or adtnit them into their houses, had returned to Cashel
,after an.aLseoce of one or two nights, which they were
obliged to pace in the fields without any sustenance.-
oi. Torasday a reinforcement of keepers had arrived
'from the cootay of Cork; against thee the country
people were pecniiatly exasperated, and had, we under-
stand, expressed their willingness to submit to the
keepers from Cashel, whom they knew, if the others
.should return ; this not being submitted to, about a
thousand mat collected and attacked principally the
county of Cork men, whom they beat in the most savage
rnAnner. ; the consequence of which has been, as we
before stated, the instant death of one of the unfortunate
keepers,.while three more of them are reduced to a
most perilous situation. The tenants, we understand,
assert in their defence, that they paid a part of their
rents to the late driver, who died not long since; but
this was no justification of the riot ; for violence and
illegality.must not be resisted by club-law, but by legal
process. The matter is now under investigation.—

The reason why so tew marriages are happy is, be-
caJse young. Ladies spend their time in making nets,
not in•making cages.—avift.
The Aleutians procure fire by taking two stones, with
.sulphur rubbed on them, which they strike together
over dry ntoss, strewed with sulphur.
A poor boy employed at a flock manufactory in
Clevel4nd-street, had his hand so shockingly mutilated
1)y the machinery on Tuesday last, that on being taken
to the Middlesex Hospital he was obliged to undergo
immediate amputation above the wrist.
The following is stated to be a chymical analysis of a
bottle of a cheap commodity, sold under the denomi-
n 'don of pit wine :--spirits of wine, 3 ounces; cider,
14. ounces ; sugar, 1. ounces ; alum, 2 scruples ; tar-
t& is acid, 1 scruple ; strong decoction of logwood,
fotir ounces.

The name of the unfortunate young Gentleman,who,
with his two sisters, was drowned off the Isle of Wight
.(as mentioned in oar Paper of the sth instant), was
not Shirley, but Headon. We understand that he held
.a confidential situation in the house of Mr. Colburn,
by whom he was highly esteemed. He was the son of
Samuel Headon, Esq. of Islington.
The boiler of the steam-packet, the Ondernenning,
which plies between Amsterdam and Hamburgh,
burst near Stade, on the Elbe, but with so little noise,
that the passengets west made sensible of the accident
only by its slackening the progress of the vessel. The
boiler was immediately repaired, and the vessel was to
leave Hamburgh on the 27th, to return to Amsterdam
the Ist of September.
On the Ist of September a steam-boat was to begin
to ply between Cologne and Coblentz, for the con-
veyance of travellers; but as it is first of all to convey
his Majesty the King of PRUSSIA from Coblentz to
Antwerp and Brussels, it will not begin its regular
voyage between Coblentz and Cologne till some
time afterwards.
CHRAP TRAVELLING ..--The fares from Liverpool to
Dublin, by some of the steam packets, are now ss. in
the cabin, and W. on the deck and steerage. Monday
one of the packets sailed with upwards of 700 passen-
gers at 6d. each !
Pori/Lam:ince Rohm—The Roman paper, Notizie
del (iiorno, contains a detailed tabular statement of the
changes in the population of that city from 1816 to
I ft2s. It appears that in the former year the population
consisted of 128,9.97 individuals, of whom 4,054 be-
longed to the secular and regular clergy, including
nuns, and that at present the population amounts to
198,730 individuals of whom 5.120 belong to the
clergy. Thus for every twenty-five persons there is
one pi iest, monk, or nun.
Suomuzio Amour:v.—Very early on Sunday morn-
ing last, a seaman Lelonging to the Royal Navy,
limbed Shields, being on his way from London to Devon,
shire by the Ezeter van, was unfortunately run over by
the van near Blackwater, Hants. It appears that
Shields, whose wife was on the Tao, had got off to walld,
up a bill. Being overtaken by the van, and not being
able to,inake the daver stop to take him up again, who
either did not hear, or disregarded him, he attempted
to get up himself by the fore part of the vehicle, but
Enluckily fell under the fore wheel, which, as well as
the hind wheel, went over both his legs. The van was
, he -vily laden at the time,. ansigoing,very fast. One of
bis legs has been amputated, and the man qow lies at
:Bilar4waker, %yide very little hopes of surviving.

even with tears, and pointed out the &tiger of in4ulging in that
fatal propensity, and you have as often assured me you would alter
your conduct, and which, had you done, you svottld not have been
placed it. the disgraceful situation in which you now stand. Wet.*
you to leave off drunkenness, you would be an excellent servant;
and I mtva say, that is your only failing, as I always had the highest

with his Lord,hlp, and then said be would not press the charge.—
The prisoner was consequently dismissed.--He was much affected
at his Lordship's address, and, prontising to attend to his advice,

GUILDHALL. •
Yesterday George Reece, a min of Scor4h accent. and deprived,
of or•e eye, and who described himself as " an appraiser and ac-
countant,' appeared as a witness in support of an information
against a pawnbroker for taking more than legal irterest; the al-,
leged offence was that of taking twopence' when three halfpence
was all that the Act allowed. Mr. George Reece was closely ex-
amined by Mr. Harmer for the pawnbroker, when he positively
denied being the informer or having any interest in the rose, but
admitted that he had been ezuployedby the Equitable Loan COM`
ldr. Haman took an objection to the information. which al.
leged that the article was pledged "one piece of cotton," whereas
the duplicate described it to be " calico."
Upon this objection being started. Mr. George fleece imme-
diately forgot Ms capacity of witness, and at once turned advo-
cate, and contended that calico was cotton and cotton was calico,
and be was proceeding onwards with great warmth, until at length
be said. " Well. if you dismiss this information, I will have &no-
, ther drawn up."--(A laugh.)
11se Magistrate quashed the information for the informality before
alluded to, and then Mr. Reece very indignantly left the office.
Mr. Alderman amens had been engaged upwards of an hour
in the Justice-room this morning, when It was announced that
during that time a Gentleman standing neat the worthy Alderman
had bad his pocket picked of a silk handkerchief.
The worthy Alderman felt very indignant that the very sane-.
tuary of justice should be thus polluted, and ordered the door to
be closed and every person searched. This order was enforced, but
the stolen handkerchief was not found.
