ST. PETEBSDURGH, OCTOBER 13.

Their Royal Ilighnesses the I's ince and Princess of
Orange, art ived on the 10th at GAtschina.

We hear that in a few days, 200 roods, or 8,000
rounds of gold are expected here, from the gold mines
in the Government of Ural, part of which belongs to
the Crown, but the greater part to private persons. It
is said, that the latter, in part, cease working their
copper and iron mines, because the washing for gold is
so productive.

PLANTING POTATOES.

It has been ascertained from experiments, that, in
platting potatoes, whole ones yield more produce than
%%lien cut into halts, or portions ski] eyes, and ridges
a:e superior to drills for planting them. Much labour,
time, and expeme h saved.
St. PAUI:S SCHOOL.

The elevation of the new façade of St. Paul's School,

eastern side of the chug ch-yard. This building, how-
ever, would have been more conspicuotr, and appeared
to far greater advantage, had it been cal ricd back to the
other side of the Old 'Change, so as to have left the
space thence to St. Paul's Church-yard entirely vacant.

PROBABLE COMET.

A luminous appeaiance resembling a comet was dis-
cerned a few evenings ago from the neighbourhood of
East Grins:ead, in Sussex ; it was situated in the Nor-
there hernisphete, and not far from the Bear's tail. The
prevalence of cloudy weather has, of late, prevented any
observations being made on it.

Oh! visit not
My conch of dreamless sleep,
When even tl shalt be forgot
By this so faithful breast ;
lint let the stranger watch my silent rest,
With eyes that will not way !
Oh ! come rot, maid !
I crave no si:_th from thee,
Ken when the mouldering frame is laid
lteneath the cold dull grave ;
the yew shall moan, and the night-wind rave,
A fitting d.rge for me!
Weep not, dear love!
While grief were agony,—
Wait till the halm of time remove
Tke fever of the brain,
And sweet though mournful dreams alone remain
Of me and misery !
Then—then, sweet maid !
By twilight linger near
The rustling trees whose green boughs shade
My lonely place of rest,
And hallow thou the turf that wraps my breast
With Pity's sacred tear!

ASTRONOMY.

A Member of the Astronomical Society is inveiti-
gating, at present, a novel branch of Astronomy,
nimely, the different refractional corrections which the
principal fixed stars severally require, in order to ascer-
tain their true places. For it appears, on inquiry, that
the light of different stars is differently reflected:'
thus, Aldeburan, Betalgen, and the red stars in
general, are less refracted than Syrius, Lyra, and
Spica Virginis. The recent observations have also led
to some curious discoveries respecting planetary and
teller light, on which some observations, by Dr. Forster,
will be found in the Philosophical Magazine.

READING SAUCE

T COCKS. the Inventor and Proprietor of the
V • CELEBRATED READING SAUCE, begs most re-
spectfully to caution the Nobility, Families, and the Public, against
the daily frauds and impositions i.oractised by many Lond..n and
Country Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders, to deceive and deprive
them of the

GENUINE READING SAUCE.
None are genuine but those which have the corks sealed with the
impression, " Cocks, Resoling i" and also the following descrip-
tion of the Sauce on an orange-coloured label, " Reading Sauce
for Fish, enriching Gravies, &c. Prepared and Sold, Wholesale
and Retail, by J. COCKS, Reading."
'lbis Sauce is generally used at table with all sorts of Fish, ha
preference to all other Fisk Sauces, and is esteemed peculiarly deli-
cious with Game, Wild Fowl, Hashes, Steaks, and Cold Meat.—
Warranted to keep good Seven Years in any climate. It is
presumed that no Sauce ever met with such general approbation
and extensive sale. It is patronised and recommended' by most of
the FIIVIT F.►wt.tas in the Kingdom, and is retailed in London by
2.50 of the most respectable Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders; in
Bath, by 50 ; Bristol, 20 ; Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, and Aber-
deen, 50 ; and by nearly all the principal Fish Sauce Dealers in
the United Kingdom, most of whom sell Coces's Genuine and
Superior Es.sseca of Ascnoviss, made with prime Gorgon& Fish,
rich as possible.

A MBOYNA MOUTH POWDER,
vaa, OLEANSIT46, lEAUTIFTUIG, AND PACEILDVIND TUN TALTII.
THIS POWDER is as pleasant in the application
as it is eaceUent is its effects; it speedily renders the Teeth
white and smooth, the gums healthful, red, and firm ; and by con-
stant use will preserve thim in this desirable state to the utmost limits
of human !Jr. It gradually but effectually dissolves tartar which
neglect may have permitted to collect; takes out all dark streaks,
ot‘dhcoloutings of the Teeth, which prove so material a drawback
to liemuty ; prevents those Teeth which are already partly decayed,
trim ever becoming worse, and cleanses, beautifies, and preserves
those that are sound ; it imparts to the breath the most delightful
frt,grance, and to the Gums that florid redness which indicates a
hPaithful state. Those who constantly use this I'owder as directed,
will never have the Tooth-ash, or a Tooth decay.
The LOTION is a concentrated Preparation, and contains art
thetiesirable retitle* of the Drug of which the Porder is made,
and ispatticularly recommended to be used with the L'owder, when
the Teeth or Gums are in a bad state, namely, spongy, sore, or apt
to bleed, symptoms which proceed from Scurvy, and which this
Lotion will never fail to remedy it is also a certain, safe, and
sp, etly cure for the footh-ach.

LIMA, JUNE 11.

By General Rodil's reglamanto de comn;ercio, dated
on the Ist of May, we find he has been levying a duty
of eight per cent. on some Americans who shipped
dollars. We are afraid that the same will be demanded
on dollars to ship on board his Majesty's ship Aurora ;
and that the omissiod to state the duty on the exports-
, don of coin to foreign parts was on purpose that the
Government may vary it, on different cccas►ons, as fie-
quently as they please.
_ _

- His Majesty's ship Aurora returned from Pisco on
the 7th inst. Admiral Guise,,stated that lie acted by
order from his Government (Bolivar) in levying duties.
In consequence of this, Captain Prescot wrote a letter
to General Bolivar, stating, as w•e are told, that lie could
not allow duties to be levied on English ships under
such circumstances. The letter was forwarded by Lieu-
tenant Liddell, of the Aurora, in a boat. _ _ _

His Majesty's ship Cambridge, Captain 'Waling, ar-
rived at Callao on the Bth inst. bringing Thomas Row-
croft, E,q. the British Consul-General for Peru, and
Passmore, Esq. Vice-Consul. As the Viceroy has
refused to receive William Tudor, Esq. the Consul-Ge-
neral, of the United Stites of America, we expect the
same course will be pursued in regard to Mr. Row croft.
It is reported that the Viceroy has left Cuzco, arrived
at Huamanga, and may be expected at Lima ere long.
JUNE 16.—The Governments begin to be in want of
money. Rodil has just laid a contribution on the prin-
cipal persons, Spaniards and Peruvians, in Lima, of
60,000 dollars, but nothing on the foreigners. We
cannot judge, at present, what it will produce.
The Robert Fuge sailed on the 12th, in ballast,
taking two Simnish Officers, one cf them named Nar-
vaez, of the r ank of Lieutenant-Colonel. It is supposed
they are gone with dispatches of importance from the
. Viceroy to the Spanish Government at Madrid. We
expect the Spaniards will not remove their troops until
the arrival the Asia, or some decisive intelligence
respecting her.

ODESSA, OCTOBER 10.

According to accounts from Constantinople of the 2d
inst. the ill consequences of the deposition of Gilalib
Pacha already began to manifest themselves in a man-
ner very unpleasant to the diplomatic body ; and it was
even believed, that the able and moderate Reis Effendi
would not long retain his post, though he is said to
have expressed sentiments quite opposed to his ancient
system.

The new Gtand Vizier, Selim Pacha, is decidedly in-
clined to the system of the late Dschanib Effendi, and
he cannot be expected to favour, in any respect, the
negotiations of the European Powers. M. Minziacky,
since the arrival of the courier that brought him his ap-
pointment to the post of Charge d'Affaires from his
Court, has had a conference with the Reis Effendi, and
officially declared to him, that he should, indeed for
the present, take charge of the affairs of the office ; but
that as Moldavia was not yet evacuated, be could not,
by any means, formally assume his character as Charge
d'Affaires, till the evacuation had taken place.
The Reis Effendi, who, a few days before, had said
to the Dragoman of another European Court, that the
evacuation depended only on the sending away of
some foreign subjects who lived there, replied to M.
Minziacky, that the order, for the immediate evacua-
tion of Moldavia, on Me pelso.7,il responsibility of the
Ilospodur Stourdza, were finally given. Under these
circumstances, we look to the administration of the new
Grand Vizier, who has constantly declared against the
evacuation ; and we are curious to see what the Journal
de Frankfort will say to these facts, which, u ith a sneer
at us, amused its readers, some months ago, with the
actual evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia. From
the Archipelago, the Porte seems to receive •nothing
but bad news respecting the operations•of the Turkish
fleet, which it however carefully conceals.

The Liverpool Advertiser of Tuesday, received this
morning, says, " We stop the press to state that the
Agnes, Capt. STRIPLING, arrived here this morning
from Pernambuco, which place she left on the 21st
September. She brings an account that Lord CocilllANE
took possession of that place on the 13th September,
but the letters at this hour, 12 o'clock, A.M. not having
been delivered,we are not able to state the full par: is
"Letters," says the same paper, " have this morning
been received here, which state that the Royalists had
evacuated Lima, and tetieated to Callao."

GREAT FOOT RACE.

The great race for 500 sovereigns, two miles, was run on Bur.
arm Flat, near Northampton, on Monday, between Captain Pew-
sey and lilewett, the celebrated runner from the Staffordshire Pot-
teries. The Captain, who is considered one of the fleetest men on
his legs in the kingdom, received of his competitor 200 yards at
the end, and !Hewett was backed at six to four eagerly ; but the
event came off very differently from that at Doncaster last week,
when it answered the London deep ones to take a lucrative jour-
ney of 160 miles, and the Londoners were the principal backers
of the Pottery man in this instance. The pedestrians ran over half
a mile of ground as follows :

CAPT. PCWSZY. m. I.
First half mile 2 29
Second ditto 2 28
Third ditto 2 32
Fourth ditto 2 42

)LEWETT. M. S.
First half mile 2 26
Second ditto 2 25
Third ditto 2 .30
Fourth ditto 2 34

10 11 I 9 55
It was one of the finest races ever seen. At the finish of the first
mile, which was run at extraordinary speed, the Captain was about
55 yards behind, and in the third half mile he lost about ten yards
more. At the middle of the last mile he was much distressed, and
his adversary made desperate play, and when the flag dropped at
the winner coming in, the Captain was 85 yards behind.

Saturday last a Swedish seaman, named Cade, was
hired on board the brig Trio, lying in Ilattenbury's
dock, liorsleyclown, and had 2s. given him to procure
a bed on shore for the night, it being intended to burn
charcoal and sulphur below deck for the destruction of
the rats, and he went on shore in the evening for that
purpose. About four o'clock the following morning,
he presented himself to the dock watchman, and pre-
vailed upon him to let him pass on board, where he
took off the tarpaulin and descended into the hold. He
was found dead by the mate two hours after. An In-
quest was held yesterday, in the Vestry Hall, St. John's,
and a verdict returned of " Accidental Death."

who gave his name A'apoleon Bonaparte England, was
brought before the Magistrate, at Marlborough-street
Office, charged with having stolen several culinary
articles, from the wash-house of Mr. Saint, oilman,
in Prince's-street, Di ury-lane. The prisoner is ex-
tremely small iii stature, and very audacious in his acts
of felony. He cautiously knocked at the window of
the house, to see if person was present, an,d finding
himselfunobserved, he crawled through the passage,
and stole the articles charged. He was found, alter the
robbery, lying in the passage, and/one of the lodgers
tumbled over him, when he confessed the robbery, and

PEDESTRIANISM.

Mr. Thomas Lloyd, the celebrated pedestrian, started on Thurs-
day, at one o'clock, to go on foot from the George, Wolverhamp-
ton, to London, a distance of it miles in 50 successive hours.
This is a greater match than was ever performed in England, and
eclipses the most celebrated pedestrians of the day. His first halt
was at Birmingham, 15 miles, which he reached at four o'clock,
and rested five minutes; he proceeded on to Coventry, 54 miles in
seven hours, when he ate part of a fowl, and appeared fresh and
well; at half-past eleven he arrived at Daventry, 55 miles, and
rested one hour, having performed the above distance in ten hours
and a half ; he travelled at a sharp pace during the night, being sup-
plied by his backer, who accompanied the umpire, with small par-
tions of gin and gingerbread. He reached Stoney Stratford to
breakfast, and being much fatigued, from the heaviness of the roads
I and the steep hills, again rested for a short time ; and on starting
again found it impossible to proceed above three miles and three
quarters in an hour. He passed through St. Alban's at one o'clock
on ctiday, gradually mending his pace as be re.:ched t!i. Metropo-
lis, the roads being much better, and arrived at the Melt Horse,
Aldersgate-street, ten minutes before seven, NV inilinz by ten minutes.
—lt was for 200 sovereigns, and the pedestrian will :ma himself
fur 100 to perturni the saute again.

were met on the part of the plaintiff by numerous affi-
davits, the most important of which were those of
Messrs. Margraves, and some of their servants, and of
J. B. Snowden, which contradicted the allegations con-
tained in Wrigglesworth's affidavit. They were also
denied in the affidavit of the late John Murrell ; as
were also the facts stated by Hunt. The affidavit of
Thomas Thurtell alleged, that when he taxed Hunt in
his brother's presence at Hertford with having made that
statement, he (Hunt) burst into tears, begged to be for-
given, and said that he had only done it to try to save
himself.- —The reading of the affidavits occupied the

TROTTING MATCH.

Captain Henderson's match, which.excited much attention, took
place yesterday, at Halstead, Herts, over a two-mile piece ,sf
ground, for 300 sovereigns. The match was, to trot sixteen miles
i-a one hour. and to carry 9st. which was done in S 9 minutes 30 se-
conds. It was altogether a fine race. and won hardly. The hurls
broke into a gallop in the sevnth mile only.
PRICES OF RACE-HORSES.

Within the few last years, perhaps somewhere about two thou-
sand pounds has been the maximum for the reputed best colt rf
this year. Five thousand guineas were offered and refused for !In

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE SETTLERS.

By the arrivals from the Cape of Good Hope, we
have received the Report of the Committee of the So-
ciety formed at that Settlement for the relief of dis-
tressed settlers, together with the Resolutions passed at
a General Meeting. Among the names of the persons
forming the Committee, we observe some of the most
respectable inhabitants of Cape Town.—The Report oc-
cupies no less than eight octavo pages, and enters into
an explanation of the manner in which the sobscriptions
raised for the relief of the distressed settlers had been
appropriated, and notices many cases of extreme dis-
tress. It appears, that a particular kind of wheat, called
Bengal wheat, has succeeJed remarkably well in several
districts, during the three years which have proved so
fatal to other kinds of wheat. The distribution of this
grain among the settlers has been an object of great
importance. A considerable sum had also been ex-
pended for the relief of the widows and families of de-
ceased settlers, being a principal object for which the
Society was originally instituted. The last article of
expense noticed in the Report, is for the support of
settlers at Cape Town ; a part had been returned by the
individuals who had received it. The Report closes'
with several extracts from authentic sources, in order
that a correct view might be formed as to the actual
condition of the settlers.

the merit and condition of his hounds in killing their fin. after A

HATTON-GARDEN.

117liana Harris, a man of colour, a notorious offender, was brought
up in tha custody of Thompson, the constable, charged with being
concerned in a most daring robbery.
Mr. Jades, a jeweller, stated that about three weeks ago, as he
was returning home about eleven o'clock, he went into the Coopers'
Arms, Smithfield, to take a glass at the bar, and while doing so,
four fellows rushed in (of whom the prisoner was one) and snatched
his gold watch out of his pocket. Every exertion had been made
to discover them, but without success, until Sunday night, when
Mr. Jades met the prisoner in Old-street, St. Luke's, and gave him
into custody. As Thompson had got some information respecting
the party, the prisoner was remanded until Saturday.

BOW-STREET.
Annamous Rosotar.—Yesterday a respectably dressed young
man, who stated his name to be John Adams Henley, was brought
before Sir It BLIWIE, charged with stealing a watch and appendages,
the property of Mr. Tuck, a salesman in Castle-street, Leicester-
'Team—The prisoner, about eight o'clock on Saturday evening,
went Into Mr. Tuck's shop, and said he wanted to purchase a ,
watch. One which he pointed out in the window was shewn to
him, and the price being fixed, he said he would get a friend who
was a better judge than himself, to call and look at the watch, and
if he approved of it, the purchase should he completed. In about an
hour and a half he called again, and asked if his friend had been
there, and being informed in the negative, he requested to look
again at the watch. While pretending to examine one of the springs,
he suddenly threw a quantity of snuff in Mr. 'l'uck's face, and raa
away with the watch.—He was fully committed to Newgate.

A SCENE AT ALGIERS.

Extract of a Letter from an Ofecer of the United States squadron
in the Mediterranean, dated' Gibraltar, November .47 :
" Mr. Henry, our Consul, has received a letter from
Mr. tiltaler, at Algiers, informing him of some disturb-
ance there. It appears that some cause of atiimosity
has arisen between the Alget Ines and Moors; and the
Dey, in consequence, ordered all the latter in the city
to be put to death. Now, each of the Consuls em-
ployed two or three of these Moors as servants, and the
Prime Minister was sent with a body of soldiez s to take
them away. Mr. Shaler resisted, and told the Minister
he would protect his with his life. N's Moors were sit-
ting down at his feet, and he standing over them with
his drawn sword: the Minister begged him to desist,
as the consequence might be fatal to him (Mr. $.) and
further stated that it would cost him his head if he re-
turned without them ; but Mr. Shaler was iiifletib:e,
and the Minister cleared out, went to the EnesS Con •
sul's, bloke open the house, ransacked it, even to the
women's apatzments, and took off the Moors with him.
By the last accounts from Algiers, Shaler has still re-
tained his Moors. The ....)ort came out only ais morn-
ing : possibly there may be nothing in it, but it Is.as
probably true, as it came from Mr. henry."—New ) at k

VACCINATION.

It appears from the Reports of the National Vaccine
Board to the Right Hon. ROBERT PEEL, that the ap-
plications for lymph have been more than usually nu-
merous—a proof that the copfidence of the world in
vaccination is increasing, particularly since the Parlia-
mentary establishment, where the inoculating matter is
always to be procured. Since the last Report, lymph
had been dispatched to the East and \Vest Indies, to
Ceylon, to the Cape of Good Hope, the Island of Mau-
ritius, the coast of Africa, New South Wales, and to
France and Italy, &c. The Report then states, that it
had been distributed in this kingdom with great suc-
cess, " for the small-pox has prevailed as an epidemic
with more than ordinary malignity in vat ious parts of
this island lately, and has committed great ravages in
those districts where it found victims unpt otected against
it by a previous process. The advantages of vaccina-
tion in places subject to those severe visitations have
been confessedly decisive and remarkable; those who
had used this resource being observed to remain gene-
rally unhurt in the midst of danger ; and if there were
any whom the contagion was able to infect, these were
remarked, almost universally, to have the disease in that
mitigated form which is not attended with danger."
The total number vaccinated from 1818 to 1822, in the
United Kingdom (exceptin the capital) is 327,521, and
the total by the stationary vaccinators for the same
time, 31,275. In 1821 there were 90,000 persons vac-
cinated in Ceylon ; '20,149 in the Presidency of Fort
William; and 22,478 in that of Bombay.

UNION-HALL.

CuAnne or MURDER.—A powerful-looking man, named Charles
Jahns" about twenty-eight years of age, who has been in the em-
ployment of Archibald Harris, Esq. as a day labourer, was brought
before R. J. CHAMBERS and L. B. /Want, Esqrs. charged with the
murder of James Richardson, a fellow-labourer, on the .29th of
June, 189.1, in the parish of Enfield, Middlesex. The Coroner's
warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner was produced, by
which it appeared that Charles Johnson was found Guilty on the
Inquest for the wilful murder of James Richardson, by nearly se-
vering the unfortunate deceased's thigh from his body with a
mower's scythe. The prisoner was disguised in sailor's clothes at
the time of his apprehension.
The circumstances of the case were fully detailed at the time.
The man was not taken till Saturday last. Mr. CHAMBERS, after a
long examination, remanded the prisoner; and directed that Mr.
Sawyer, the Solicitor to the parish of Enfield, might be apprised of
the apprehension of Johnson, and that Gentleman would have an
opportunity of collecting the rest of the evidence against the pri-
soner by the next examination.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEB. 9.

William Dove was oppodby Mr. POLLOCK, on be-
half of James Butler. The insolvent was a silk manu-
facturer, in Spitalfields, where his opposing creditor
keeps a public-house, and also deals in silk. It appeared
by the evidence, that the insolvent having been arrested
at Mr. Butler's suit, for a disputed debt of 351. in Ad.
gust last, gave bail, and immediately sold out 3001.
stock he possessed in the Three per Cents, and paid all
his other creditors, one of whom was a tailor, who also
kept a grocer's shop, to whom the insolvent stated he
paid a debt of 1031. P2s. 10%d. due to him for tea
and sugar. The insolvent some time after called on
Mr. Butler, and told him he had sold out his stock and
paid all his other debts, and had 100/. left, with which
he would go to jail and live jolly.—The COURT ad-
journed the case, and directed the insolvent to produce
the papers relative to the sale of his stock, and the tailor
and grocer to whom he paid the bill.

KONIGSBERG, JULY 31.

According to a communication made at the beginning
of this month byllit Government of the province of
East Prussia, the plague, which had before prevailed
only in Moldavia, and towards the mouths of the
Danube, had now manifested itself in Wallachia also,
especially in Braila and the neighbouring country.
The Government of this city has therefore, by a notice
of the 14th of this month, renewed the regulations
published on the 11th March, by which travellers and
merchants were informed of the measures of security
adopted in this province to prevent the communication
of this disorder.

COBLENTZ, AUGUST 10.

The long•wished•for promotion of the highly-re-
spected Apostolic Vicar, Joseph Von Hommer, of
Ehrenbreitstein, to the Bishoprick of Treves, has now
taken place, and his Majesty's consent has been given
to the admission, in the usual form of the letters of ca-
nonical investiture, which have come from Rome for the
new Bishop. The nomination to the Episcopal See of
Trevec, which has long been vacant, is an interesting
event, by which one of the most earnest wishes of the
country is fulfilled.
The new series of the Bishops of Treves commences
in the most auspicious manner, by the appointment of
M. Von Hammer, one of the most worthy servants of
the Church, whose virtues are equally acknowledged and
respected by the Catholic and Protestant inhabitants.

The first accounts, which represented Ipsara as falling
with little resistance, are very clearly contradicted, by
subsequent and authentic intelligence. The Brussels
Papers, received this morning, contain the following
article on this subject :

POETRY OF BURKE.

It has been several times asserted that this celebrated man, with a
genius so nearly akin to the genius of sprit!, never actually at-
tempted poetical composition. The cautriry it seems is the fact.
Among other pieces, he vero,e, when very young, several scenes
of a Play, a Poem on Rai:lmre (the viilage where he was at
school, some beautiful Lines on the River Illackwat, r, running
through the counties of Cork and Waterford ; Lines to his friend
Mr. Rmusao SHACILItTnN, 01 his :Marriage; a Translation of
an Id yllium of Theocrittis ; and of the concluding portion of the
second GeorAic of Virgil, with several others. '1 he following

TO MIL SHACKLETON ON HIS MARRIAGE.
(most ratots's urn or suers.)
When hearts are boner's: for less precious gold,
And like the h, art the venal song is sold ;
Each flame is dull, and but one hose desire
Kindles the bridal torch and poec's fire;
The gad,: th, ,r violated rights forbear,
The Musultes far, and Ilymen is not there.
Rut w;ien true love binds in its roseate bands,
That rare bu; hippy union, hearts and hands—
When nought but friendship guides the poet's song,
Ilaw sweet the verse, the happy love how strong !
Oh ! if the :Muse, indulging my design,
Should favour me as Love has favour'd thine,
I'd challenge Pan at peril of my life,
Though his Arcadia were to judge the strife !
Why not the vocal groves ring forth their jay,
And lalfring echoes all their mouths employ ?
To tell his bride what sighs, what plaints they heard,
While yet his growing flame's success he fear'd,
And all his pains o'srpaid with transport now,
When l.ove exults, and he enjoys his vow?
Silent ye stand—nor will bestow one lay
Of all he taught to grace this happy day;
Can joy ne'er harbour in your sullen shade,
Or are ye but for lovers' sorrows made?
I'll leave you, then, and from the bride's bright eye
A happier omen take, which cannot lie,
Of growing time still growing in delight,
Of round; of future years all mark'd with white;
Through whose bright circles, flee from envious chance,
Concord and Love shall lead an endless dance.
What is the Vonarch's crown—the Shepherd's ease,
The Flero's laurel, or the Poet's bay 42
A load of toilsome life too dull to bear,
If Ileave.s's indulgence did not add the Fair;
Byrn Eden's sweets our Adam did despise,
All its gay scenes could not delight his eyes,
Woman, (;on gave—and then 'twas Paradise!
Another Eve and Paradise are thine,
Blay'st thou be father of as long a line!
Your heart so fix'd on her, and her's on you,
As if the world afforded hut the two,
That to this age your constancy may prove,
There yet remains on earth a pow'r call'd•Love!
These to my friend, in lays not vainly loud
The palm, unknowing to the giddy crowd,
I sung, for these demand his steady truth,
And friendship growing from our earliest youth;
A nobler lay unto his Sire should grow,
'l'u whose knisi care my better birth F ewe;
Who to fair Science did my youth entice,
NS on from the paths of ignorance and vice !

PUTNEY REGATTA

Yestenky afternoon, Putney presented a icene of unusual gaiett
an 4 bustle: the attraction was a Rowing Match for a prize wherry,
w*ch the liberality of the inhabitants had caused to be built for the
occasion, and which was to be contended for by watermen belong.
int to that ancient and loyal hamlet. The fineness of the evening
drew together a numerous assemblage of spectators from the neigh
bowing villages; and Wandsworth was not 'backward in contra.
bating her share of beauty upon this interesting occasion.
The competitors were four in number, and the contest through.
out was maintained with great ardour; but the superior skill and
strength of Richard Cobb gained him the prize, which he imme-
diately took possession of, amidst the plaudits of the spectators.
ice observed, as afiliale to the evening's diversion, an article of
which shall be nameless, but which forms an essential part
of a Lady 'S stitdrobe, decorated with ribands, and suspended
from the summit or a high pole. This, we understood, was to bp
