The morning houri the sun beguiles
With glories brightly blooming ;
The flower and summer meet in smiles,
And so I've met with woman
Ilut suns must set with dewy eve,
And leave the scene deserted ;
And flowers must with the summer leave—
So I and klaav-parted !
0, Maar, I did meet thy smile,
When passion was discreetcst ;
And thou didst win my heart the while,
♦Wen woman seem'si the sweetest ;
When joys were felt that cannot speak,
And memory cannot smother,
When Love's first beauty flush'd thy cheek,
That never warm'd another
Those eyes that then my passion blest, •
That burn'd in love's expression ;
That bosom where I then could rest,
And now have no possession;
Those waken still la memory
Sad ceaseless thoughts about thee,
That say.bow blest Iv'e been with thee,
Aud how I am without thee!

Bisit, whose success in selling Capitals is proverbial,
sold last Lottery, Both the Two of £90,000, drawn
last day, and he hopes, and the Public expect that he
will sell the Two of D 20,000 in the present, which,
with all the other Capitals and all the other Prizes,
must be ,drawn iri One Day, Next Tuesday.
PIDDING and Co. No. 1, Cornhill, are certain there
are two points in the present Lottery which, having
always been favourite points with the Public, will re-
quire very few words by way of eulogy—one is, there
will be no suspense, the whole Lottery being to be de-
cided in One Day (next Tuesday)the other is, that
the Tickets' and Shares are sold at a cheap rate—yet
there are not Two Blanks to a Prize—no fixed Prizes
—all Sterling Money—Sateen Capitals, all afloat—
and Two of D2oooo.—krucitsto :old Co. have rather
a confident prepossession:ihat sklibe of these are now
on sale at the Lucky Corner, No. 1, Cornhill.
Tan ROTUNDA AT- Wootwtcn.—This is the
name generally given to a new building which
his been lately erected westward of the Artil-
lery Barracks, and which at a distance has the ap-
pearance of a large pavilion, with a conical roof.
The wall is of buck ; and the coveting is the same
that had been formed for a similar building, intended
is have been constructed about eight years ago in St.
James's Park, near Carlton Palace, when the foreign
Sovereiclns were about to visit this country. The
building is polygonal, but nearly circular; it is about
4.00 feet in circumference the inside; cousists only of
a single room, and the.purpose to which it is applied
renders it an object not only of curiosity, but of the
highest national _interest. In this place is deposited
an immense collection of fine models, fi.rmed exactly'
in imitation of all the implements required for every
department of the Naval and Military Service; and
in the proportion of one inch to forty feet. There
are exact plans of the dock-yards of Portsmosith,
Plymouth, and Chatham. There is also an exact
representation cut in wood of the strong and ex-
tensive fortress of Fort William in Bengal, in the
erection of •which no less than two millions sterling
were expended ; another of the city fortifications,
and suburbs of Quebec, including the spot where
General Wolfe a as' killed ; and a grand model of the
rock, town, and batteries of Gibraltar, The ships
ale exhibited in all their stages of building, from the
laying down of the keel to that state in which they
are fit to be launched. There is even a section of the
inside of a ship, representing the uses to which the
several decks may be converted, the places where
horses are kept, with the figures of horses feeding at
their stalls, and the mode of taking them on board,
Everything.requirect in the Ordnance service is here
seen in an improved state; as guns for firing over,
alls,_while the men who-work them are protected
against an enemy ; bombs, mortars, howitzers, Con.
Breve rockets, punier with increased powers for lift-
ing roe upon Carriages, and newly-invented cubical
boles for holding caraidges, humid of the attics that
have hitherto been in use. The machines by which
gmber, after being boiled, is bent into any form that
may be required for the building of ships, are finely
and accurately represented ; together with the pieces
of wood on which they have been made to act. There
are innumerable assortments of firecarins, swords,
icc.. and all the models are an judiciously dis-
posed and separated, that le can view theft one
after another, us the most sa • hannuer.

• TROTTING.
Mr. Husontes undertook yesterday morning to trot a pito-
way three miles in eleven minutes on the Staines Road, for a
stake of 50gs. and to carry feather weight. The gateway did
k is four seconds within the time without making a break.
Mr. -Avonacte's Match to trot 'his horse fifteen miles within
es hose, and to carry twelve stone, took place on a three midis
'biro the Ashford Rood, after the other races, for sow'

The horse broke into a gallop is the last mile, and the match
was lost by the time occupied in pulling up and turning.
The third match was to trot ten miles in an hour with a
hackney, and to carry 15 stone. The horse fell; but could not
have done it at any rate.
ROWING MATCH.
Yesterday a bard contest took place between Mr. Honsox and
Mr. Waimea, gentlemen who were formerly members of the
Funny Club, for a bet' of 301• to row in two pleasure-boats from
Battersea Bridge to Fulham Bridge and back again. The match
was kept a profound secret, except to the friends of the parties.
Fronr the celebrity of the opponents, who are at least 40 years
old, it however created a considerable degree of interest, and a
great number of boats filled with their friends graced the river,
and tweeted a vast concourse of persons ignorant of the affair,
who were upon the banks. ,111 r. Howson kept the lead mostly
all the way, but in passing round the pier of Fulham Bridge,
and shooting backward through the areb, Mr. Waives got first,
and in a few minutes shot a-head a considerable distance, Which
be maintained apparently-with great ease till be came of Batter-
sea Bridge, where it was announced by the umpires, that kr won
the bet most fairly.

DANCINO.—It may be gratifying to those who
regret that the English are not a " dancing people"
tole-arn that the sanatory propensity is rapidly sprat-
in amongst us. A proof of this was given yesterday
at Fair, which was most numerously attended
by the fashionables of the East-end of tie town. At
this scene of frolic, besides 'numerous retail hops in
the usual style, thenitwas a booth called the Crown
and Anchor Tavern, 300 feet long, and 70 feet wide.
The ball room was divided into sets, and at one time
upwards of 1000 persons joined• in the dance. The
entrance to the assembly room was guarded by peace
officers, to prevent any disorder. The interior was
splendid in the extreme, being illuminated with up-
wards of 6000 patty coloured lamps, tastefully dis-
played in various devices. The orchestra was ele-
vated, and consisted of a band of 18 musicians. The
dances were conducted by two " professional" per-
sons, who greatly conduced to the accommodation
of the company. Quadrilles were the order of the
night!—Quadrilles at Bow Fair I Something new
must be immediately invented at Almack's !
THE FUNNY Baaaaa!—A few days since a hair-
dresser, who lives in Water-street, Newry, after having
made a libation to Bacchus, imagined that he was to
be hanged, and that the officers of justice were enter-
ing his house to carry him to execution. Under this
strange impression he contrived to get on the roof of
his habitation, along which he darted with uncommon
velocity. From his own roof he was seen bounding
over several other roofs, now and then pausing when
he came to a chimney, and either peeping into the
funnel or listening to his imaginary pursuers. Mean-
while several of his neighbours collected together,
anxious to secure the man, and prevent his expected
falL He saw them, mistook them for bailiffs, and
having run rapidly along the roof of Mr. Wallace's
stores, proceeded to that of Mr. -John Quinn's stores,
over which he rushed with much fleetness and security,
till he came to the gable, from which he jumped,
with dauntless intrepidity, upon an adjacent dwelling-
L house, a descent of about eight feet, imagining, no
doubt, that it was neck or nothing with him ! From
thence he proceeded to Mr. Smith's roof, where he'
stripped a proportion of the chimney of bricks, and,
'squeezing himself into one of the funnels, pelted the
People who wished to secure him with these missiles
as long as the supply lasted. In this situation he was
seized, secured with ropes, and lowered down to an
immense number of the market people, who were
fazing with astonishment at the funny.gambels of the
risky frisseurl
bIQUISTS AT THI PSWETIINTIART, MILLBANIC.—
There has been an unusual mortality within the
last few weeks in the Millbank Penitentiary. Yester
day, at five o'clock in the evening, an Inquest was
held upon James Parkis, a convict, • who was sen-
tenced to transportation at the Old Bailey, in 1820,
which was commuted to, five years' imprisonment in
the Penitentiary. He was in good health when be
entered the prison, and died of a consumption.—
Verdict—liatarel Death.
The Jury, after returning the aboveverdict, retired,
and were about to leave the prison, when they were
called back again and re-impannelled, to hold another
Inquest on a convict named Barnet Dean, who died
while the Fortner inquiry.was being holden. The de-
'Ceased was 28 years of age ; he was convicted of
bigamy some years ago, at the Old Bailey. He had
several wives, was a notorious character, and tom;
-ftionlT called Baroey Dan. His sentence of seven
years transportation was commuted to five years' int;
prisonment in the Psuitentiary.
iVlr. Pratt, the Burgeon of the Prison, was *se
'mined by the Jury, and deposed, that the deceased
persons were 'daily visited, during their illness,. b)
the Surgeon and Physician ; mid that they hail fish,
fowl, wine, .sago, •and _everything that they, in theh
indisposed state, could desire, or that was necessary
fur them.—Verdict—Narural Death.
