OCCASIONED BY PAVING A VISIT TO THE MONUMENT OF
THE IMMORTAL NELSON IN' ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL)
AND WRITTEN UPON TUE SAME IN PENCIL.

*ad no proud marble rose o'er NELSON. 3 dust,
" No storied urn or animated bust,"
Had no inscription told his various praise
In solemn prose or in lamenting lays,
The modes. turf that wrapt his crumbling frame,
Would live forever in his deathless name;
His glory would inscribe the blushing day,
.And form a shrine unconscious of decay!

To Mrs. DAVID JOHNSON we are much indebted for
a Romance intitled 4,11:e Brother: in High Life; or,
The North of Ireland." To speak of it as a flimsy
production of the female pen, would lead the Public
into errors ; it has, on the other hand, given but a
fair specimen of the follies which are_ practised by
the rich, and at, the same time contribute not to the
general happiness of mankind.
.
CONJUGAL AFFECTION.—LateIy, at a small village
near Edinburgh, a collier, who had enlisted into a
ma, ching regiment, having received the bounty, re-
galed himself and vane of his acquaintance in a petty
aleticase, till, overcome with the effects of his liba-
tions, he was. taken home in a state of insensibility,
and thrown upon his bed ; his wife, who did not par-
ticipate in his military ardour, afraid that his heroism
might lead him into danger, literally chopped off two
of her beloved's fingers, and, when he regained the
use of his faculties, told him, with an air of self-satis-
facti,n, " You may fight the French now, when you
like, grndma')."
A considerable degan of alarm was recently excited
In Eiinburgh and v:cinity of Leith, on the subject of
a servant girl, whose clothes were found on the sea-
s'', re, and, who was reported to have been robbed and
murdered. On an investigation of the mysteri us
transaction by Mr. DEstovasi, the vigilant Police Ma.
gistrate of Leith, it appeared that the damsel had
exchanged her female habiliments for those of
.her
saecthearr, a young sailor, with whom she made off
in this disguise !
A curious circumstance took place at the Church
in Boston a few days ago. A couple who had ob-
tained a license to enter into the holy state of matri-
mony, having, together with their friends, repaired
• to the -altar, and the ceremony being about to he per-
formed, a scene of no small confusion ensued, in con-
' sequence of the friends of the bridegroom stepping,
forward, and declaring him to have a wife and three
1 children now living. This the fond swain stoutly de-
t
nied, but acknowledged that he had been acquainted
with a woman for some years ; this woman, however,
was not his lawful wedded wife. Although nearly
two hours warm discussion took place amongst the
parties, no direct evidence being produced upon the
subject, the Clergyman (the Rev. Mr. Goa) went
through the ceremony of uniting this precious pair.
MIRACULOUS EscArE.—Saturday se'nnight, Mr.
, James Ewins, of Newport, Monmouthshire, dreaming
of some persons attempting to break open his house,
jt raised up the sash of a window in his sleep, and leaped
into the street, a height of nearly 20 feet, but provi-1
dentially escaped unhurt !
FUNERAL OF POWER, THE PCGlLlST.—Yesterday the
remains of this noted character were escorted from
Fetter-lane (his place of residence) to St. Giles's
Church in the Fields, by a numerous assemblage of
his ilibernian countrymen, &c. The funeral proces-
sion arrived at the place of interment at six o'clock
in the evening, and the usual ceremony being per.
firmed, amidst a strong sensation of grief and attach-
ment for the deceased, the body was buried. On
the
.coffin was inscribed his age—twenty-two years,
nine months, and twenty-six days.
• An unfortunate occurrence happened at Felpham,
inn Satuniay se'nnight, at the launching of a new
boat. Tao men disagreed, and pi nceeded to fight,
when by an unlucky blow from one of the patty,
named Brookes, his opponent, Martin, was killed on
the spot: the deceased ha t a wife and six children.
. Saturday s'enuight Mr. Thomas •Ritson, skinner
and glover, Hexham, had the misfol tune of failing
backwards into a c( pper of hot water, and was so
dreadiuliy scalded that he soon after expired.

GALWAY, MAY 31:-AL the East-gate Fair, sheep and black
cattle sold at a higher price than the oldest man recollects; and
such was the demand tor dry cows in particular, that scarcely
one was unsold at an early hour in the day. Corn fell in price
considerably en Saturday last in our market ; and from the abun-
dance of grain at present in the country, is expected soon to be
much lower.

Last week a slater, repairing the roof of a farm-
house belonging to General Pot. Nam, near Ramsbury,
fell from nearly the top, across a small porch at the
entrance tithe house, and lived but a few days after-
wards.

A poor man's child at Ramsbury, about three years
old, from drinking some boiling water out of the
spout of a tea-kettle, died the next day, in the greatest
agonies.

UNICW•HALL.—A blind and lame mendicant, who
said his name was Francis Lewis, was yesterday
charged with attempting to defraud the landlord of
the Nelson's Head public-house, in the Kent-road, by
exposing to his view a sham note, purporting to be a
Bank of England note, and thereby obtaining credit
for meat, drink, and lodging. Ois being questioned
by the Magistrate, he confessed that he lived by com-
mitting similar impositions on publicans : he also
stated, that he was employed by different persons to
put in circulation forged notes and counterfeit silver,
and that he had been very successful in these specu-
lations. His friends, he said, were persons of re-
spectability, and would have supported him but for
his bad conduct, which had already disgraced them,
and he would not now spread that disgrace by men-
tioning their names or places of residence. On being
asked by the Magistrates to name some of the persons
by whorl-) he had been employed to put off the bad
notes and coninterleit coin, and told, that unless he
did so, he w ntla himself be liable to be transported
for fourteen years, be said he la as ready to take all
the consequences on himself, and would make no dis
closures. The Magistrate committed him fix re-
I examination.—The notes and bad silver, he said, be
generally put off at public-houses in villages nem
London, and if discovered to he bad, his Windness
always protected him from suviciou.
