TO A TULIP.

Sweet flow'r, the smiling garden's pride,
Whose charms attract the ravish'd eye
Nor rose, nor lily, by thy side,
With thy enamell'd hues can vie !
Ah ! may no hapless blast arise,
To nip thy freshly-blooming head;
But gentle Zephyr, as he flies,
His fost'ring influence o'er thee shed!
Like thee, in youth's fair summer's day,
Lavinia's loveliness appears,
Which, bright as Phoebus' welcome ray,
The gaze of wond'ring mortals cheers!
Deck'd with the graces of the mind,
She shines above the virgin train,
Who aim to reach her grace refin`d,
But yet are doom'd to hope in vain !
Oh ! may no storm of envy low'r,
To crop the honours of her name;
Still, happier than the fading flow'r,
Be her's an ever-blooming fame! R. 1.

CANTERBURY', NOY . 22.

John lifeluteati and Elizabeth Melt:tend were yester-
day committed to Westgate Gaol, by the Mayor of
this city, charged on suspicion of having stolen one
silver watch, the property of John Buckley ; and the
said John Mepstead also with having stolen one other
silver watch, the property of J. Blackley. It appeared
on the examination of the above persons, who state
themselves husband and wife, that they went into the
shop of Mr. Buckley between the hours of five and
six on Saturday evening last, and requested several
watches to be shewn to them, one of which was how-
ever secreted, and the remainder rejected, with an in.
timation that they would call again. From thence they
proceeded to Mr. Blackley's shop, where after several
watches were shewn to them, the husband requested
to see a clock, respecting which he said he would go
and inform his father, who was at the Queen's Head
Inn, observing to his wife at same time, that she might
go and get some refreshment ; to this Mr. Blackley,
who had some suspicions, objected, and requested she
would walk into his house, and she should be attended
to: in the interim having examined his stock, he
missed one watch, and the man returning he accord-
ingly took him into custody, when the prisoner, after
some hesitation, confessed where he had deposited the
watch, and went with the constable to Mr. Baldock's
Paddock, in St. George's Place, where, under the
turf, it was found. The watch belonging to Mr.
Buckley was afterwards given up by the female pri-
soner, who stated that she had received it from her
husband.

A man, last week, came to several people at Sand-
wich, representing himself as just come from Flush-
ing, and a nativethere, with a cargo of superior smug-
gled brandy. He brought samples of the brandy, and
offered it very cheap, indeed, so cheap that surprise
ought to have been excited; but cheap brandy was not
to be resisted. He received orders from several people,
and engaged to deliver the brandy on a certain even-
ing. When he brought it, he was observed to be much
agitated ; but the suspicion that this ought to have
raised was completely done away by his broaching
the casks, and desiring them to see if the brandy cor-
responded with the sample, which it did. He was
then paid ; and on going away desired the purchasers
to put the brandy in a secure place, and leave it to
settle two or three days. The latter circumstance at
last roused their suspicions, and as soon as he was
gone thiiy bored the casks, and found them to contain
water only. On examination, a small tin mug was
found closely fastened to the inside of each cask, with
cloth at the turned up edges, nailed with minute
nails, and well puttied, which kept a small quantity
of good brandy, quite clear and unadulterated by the
surrounding water, and he had bored the cask exact-
ly opposite to the mug. A pursuit was immediately
made after him, but without success, and he has not
since been seen at Sandwich.

In the morning of Saturday last, as one of the
MArgate coaches was proceeding from Canterbury, a
basket containing about 90 lbs. weight of veal, which
had been sent for on some particular occasion, was
cut from the top of it, and the loss not discovered till
the coach had nearly reached Sturry.

Friday a number of single and double roses were
pulled in a nursery, near Little Govan.

An otter was, on Wednesday se'nnight, killed at
Rockliff, of the following extraordinary dimensions :
in 1-ngth four feet, and in girth round the body 23
inches. It was shot in the water, whither it had been
chased by the dogs.

A letter from Konigsburg, dated the 26th ultimo,
says—" A singular and curious circumstance took
place in this city a few days ago. A poor bricklayer,
at a very advanced age, who was on the point of
death, sent for one of our Ministers, in order to dis-
close a secret, before his death, which would tend
greatly towards the welfare of his country. Our Mi-
nister complied with his request, and upon waiting on
the old man, he was informed by him, that during
the seven years war, Frederick the Great had employ-
ed him and two others to bury in one of the churches
of Konigsburg an immense treasure of gold, silver,
and diamonds, at the same time compelling them to
take a solemn oath not to divulge the affair until the
List of them should be on the point of death ; other-
wise that a great scarceness would prevail in Konigs.
burg. The Governor of the City immediately or-
dered the cave of the church to be searched, and ac-
tually found the treasure as described by the old
man."

About three weeks since, as a servant of Mr. R.
Turner, farmer, of Stamford-le-Hope, Essex, was ri-
ding a horse belonging to his master, in a field at
West Tburrock, in the same county, the animal shy-
ed at something in the way, and backing with his
rider, fell into an old well in the field, which had not
been sufficiently closed, and was only covered with
bushes. In his fall, he, of course, went down back-
wards with the servant upon his back. To the asto-
nishment of every person who saw the circumstance,
the young man, with great agility, cleared his feet
from the stirrups, climbed upwards, by means of the
horse's head, and got out of the well unhurt. The
horse was so terribly bruised, and, at the same time,
so completely wedged into the well, that it was im-
possible to get him out alive : he was left there, and
the well will be filled up over him.
