A SUBLIME ODE,

YT A SUBALTICRX Of FICILIt.

FRIDICRICK, renowned Lord,
Whose hand a host sustains;
The Bullon Epaulet's restored—
. We thank thee lot thy pains.
Ye jolly Su64 hoth high and low;
Naw let your hearts be cbeer'a ;
Heads up—be comforted—for lo!
The fringe is all cathier'd.
Pll full your isempert, late 11,
Elate with grape auel glee ;
Roar Fit ED'IIICICS he .1:h throughout the hall,
With many a three tames three.

And come from out your barrack walls,
Ye Ensigns, hiding dark,
And caper off to rows and balls,
With joy` mad 011, rin g stark.
Fear not that, whilst the Fat: to dance,
You " pets., and gaily smile ;"
Shell scprn your suit, and eye askance
Your shoulder-knot the while :

For, Ile a Phcenix rising forth
Prom out her ashes, new
Yost sparkling bullion's sterling worth
Is brougbi again to view.
Now bAlly twer each hotel,
And dread aor grdom, nor scullion;
Resd'Me your strut, yo.:r former swell,
And prout:iy shake your Bullion !

Throw by 13.--an—s, burn all your books,
- Lounge forth to pub,ic ',laces;
The Eves sneers and scornful looks
Aro chang'd to smiling fact:
Your shoulder hich Sir D—D's ire,
Bereft of rank and state,
Bends by our Royal Chitf's desire,
•
Beneath its ancient weight.

la vain now 'midst the mazy drill,
" ET Its LEFT" sounds through the lines;
Fondly to each right shoulder still,
'Each dazzled eye inclines.

?loud Grenadiers, and Bobs so light,
Late of your sloth s strippY. ;
Soar, soar aloft, renew your flight,
Your whip no mere are elipp'4!

Thro' eery clime of Britain's pow'r
Fame the glad tidings roar;
Yringe and D—no—s have had their hour,
And now are " seen no more."

VIENNA, .TANII Ant 18.—Our public papers nil. -44 c
attention of Mr. Flesentrom's Travels in the Northern
part pf Siberia, and state some part of them which
are actually very curious. He is now at Petersburg)),
having' travelled through Siberia, as far as the Frozen,
Ocean, from whence he visited two islands, now

- - -
called the Holy Islands. He there found a vast num-
ber of skeletons of the MammOth, Rhinoceros, Ele-
phant and Whale Fish, from which he considers these
uninhabited islands as the burial places of unknown
generations. He has also found the pinit•ns And
' claws of a bird which must have been at least three
times the size of the Conde r of South America, which

is the 14rgest e. all that are known of the feathered
creation, and the wings of which, when extended,
measured from IS to 16 feet. In bath the islands,
pathways were dscernible, which must have been
made by wild beasts. From all these circumstances
it is supposod that there must be a continent if ; ;nd
extending from the 80th degree of the pl.!, and which
Must be chiefly. inhabitel by whte bears and black
ravens, who are particularly fond of the climate.

Monday week an extrac rdinary instance cf swift-
ness took place, in the coursing of a hare at Poynton.
- A hare was started by three greyhounds, which run
15 minutes and 55 seconds, in the mast astonishing
style, when she-was killed. The distance run, in that
short period, it is supposed, was six miles.
On Friday last, a porter clandestinely such? (I up
such a quantity of spirits from a cask on the quay of
- telfast, that he dropped down on the spot. He w4S
,carried to an 'apothecary's shop, where every medical
• aid was tried to save him, but all in vain ; he died in
' this deplorable state.
You Hay se'nnight a boy with a candle, employed
in sweeping away, some rubbish in the after-end of a
loaded collier in the river Tyne, set fire to the powder
. maga zne, containing about two quarter casks, which
blew up with ddreaclful expio•.:oci, breaking several
beams, and demolishing the criarter-deck and cabin.
The boy was brought to the Infirmary, Newcastle,
with little hope of recovery.
A few days since two men lost their lives by a
Chalk-pit lalling upon them, near Guildford.
A fiite boy, seven years of age, died at Montrose
cask wc'elc, in consequence of taking at medicine-pre-
scribed by an ignorant quack resident in th :t town.
Monday evening a lad, about 15 years of age,
getting up to ride behind a coach in Bridge-street,
Elackiriars, another coach coming close behind; he
attempted to get down,hut in his hurry fell into in
the middle of the road, and was trampled•under the
horses feet of the carriage follow in?, and so much
butt, as to be obl.ged to be taken to the hospital.
Tuesday se'nnight, about the hour of nine o'clock
at night, the town of Ennis and its vicinity were
sited by a dreadful :hunchr storm, during which there
was a violent shower of hail, which lasted about 20
sninutea. At Eallynealon, wait: a few miles cf
that town, the lightning entered the house of a man
named Michael Keane, by the kitchen window,
struck the maid-servant senseless, who was standing
ist:side the fire, and killed the house dog. The girl
not expected to recover.
Captain Fowt.x.r., who has been stationed as Corn-
