Perhaps at no period subsequent to his present Majesty's visit to

rank, and fashion, at any Course in the South of Ireland, as at the-e
Races. Families of the first respectability, from the Counties
Limerick, Clare, and Galway, with the most distinguished charac-
ters of the Turf, are in attendance. The Clare Gold Cup was run
for on Saturday.
Twenty-five horses were entered for the Fitzgerald Stakes, for
which eleven started, and Mr. illake's colt Bob Booty was the watt-
net, beating Mr. D.lxon's colt Olympus by a neck.
Four horses started for the second match, SOL by Lucius O'Brien,
Esq. which was won easy by Mr. Kirwan's Libias.
Amongst the many on the Course were observed, the Marquis of
Sligo, Earl Clanricarde, Viscount Gort, he Members for the
County, Offieers of the 9th Lancers, 19th, '2sth, and '7Bth Regi-
ments. The bands of the 78th and Clare Militia added much to
the tami ensemble.

Pkons rock wrack the headlong wateveleap;
Tooling their foam on high, till leaf and lower

Where Latium spreads her purple cuss below

The golden orchard. aed the ductile rill,
The spring elearsbubbliag in its rocky font,
The moss-grown cave, the Naiad's fabled haunt.
And. far as eye cm stroio, yen shadowy dome,
The glory of the earth, Eternal Rome !
This, this wail Vestes seat—sublime, alone,
The mountain crag opreared her Virgin throne,
lead the majesty of Goddess might,
Fanned by pure gales. and bathes* in cloudless light ;
Hoes was the dash of Anio's sacred tide,
The dame front Heaven's ethereal fount supplied.
And the young forms that trod the marble shrine,
For earth too fair, for mortal too divine!
And, In! where still ten circling columns rise
High o'er the arching spray's prismatic dyes,
Touched, but not marred—as time bad paused to spare
The wreaths that bloom in lingering beauty there—
Nen where each mouldering wreck might seem to mourn
Hot rifted shaft, her luv'd acanthus torn.
HatUre's wild flowers in silent sorrows wave
Their vctive sweets o'er Art's neglected grave!
But ye, who sleep the calm and dreamless sleep.
Where joy forgets to smile, and woe to weep,
For you, blest maids, a long and last repose
Has stilled each pulse that throbs, each vein that glows;
For oft, too oft, the white and spotless vest
Conceded a blseding heart, an aching breast,
Ilope, that with cold despair held feeble strife,
And Love that parted but with patting life ;
Still would the cheek wßth human passion burn,
St•U would the heart to fond remembrance turn,
Vow all itself to Heaven, bet vow in vain,
Sigh for its thnughts, yet sigh to think again!
And thou, immortal Bard. whose s*eetest lays,
Were hymned in rapture to thy Tibur's praise.
What, though no more the listening valet prolong
The playful echoes of thy S.lbine song:
Weep not her olive grovAl deserted shade,
Tier printely halls in silent ruin laid,
Mee altars snookering on a nameless bill—
There all is beauty, all is gloty still; •
Blowers—yet more bright than Roma; maiden wreathed;
Prayers—yet more pure than Virgin Priestess breathed;
A Pane—more noble than the lrestal trod—
The Clariatianes temple, to the Christian's Gob!

to the object of it; to paves the well-merited encomium which

Ari accident of a melancholy nature took place at
Atildbar, on Monday, the 30th ult. The gamekeeper%
wife went fawn her houie tor the purpose of gathering
some fuel, leaving behind her two fine young children,
one of them about the age of six weeks, fast asleep in

REMARKABLE CASE.—There is a perstin of middle age
in the vicinity of Boston, who has nothing but the mus-
cles and common integurnrnts to cover or defend the
heart on the left tide of the thorax. The heart's pulsa-
tion can be seen distinctly, even pteising itself beyond
the anterior side of the sternum. This is a great cu-
riosity to the anatomist, and strikes those who are ac-

burst the heart, and sever the thread of life in an in

these : —When the individual of whom we are ipeaktng

this part were lividly fractured, but instead of uniting

anaiou%ly desired. Rows of houses and cottages have
been erected upon nearly every road leading to the
towit—the lath and plaster tenement has been super•
ceded by the substantial dwelling-house, and an aug;
menting population constantly skippers occupants for,
the new buildings. The increase in the number of 14-'1
sitants, also, keeps pace with that of the residents ; the
Terrace and other public walks present a brilliant dis•
play of fashion, rank, and beauty. The antieiy so uni-
versally felt to witness the progress niche renovation of
that ♦enerable edifice, Windsor Castle, powerfully ope-
rates to swell the numbers that throng the promenades.'
Every facility for gratifying this desire, consistent with
the necessary progress of the works, has been, by the
gracious permission of his MAJESTY,' granted to the
Public; strangers are admitted in front of the Star and
Garter apartments, from shish spot the new grand
entrance and the magnificent view over the Long Walk
and Great Pa►k are seen to much advantage. From
the battlements of t!;e Round Tower, the spectator
enjoys a ci.mplete prospect of the Corridor and the
whole of the improvements in the interior of the qua-
drangle ; while frAn the Little Park, the Queen's Tower,
and South front, as far as the Beacon Tower, which
are entirely cGmpleted, aff qcl a specimen of the noble
and imposing character which the building will pos.
