FROM A YOUNG LADY TO HER SISTER.

Ere twice fifteen short years are flown,
The bloom of life b o'er;
Beauty may linger on her throne,
But youth returns no more I
Ab, Beauty! transient as you dower,
That shuns the Winter's storm.
Thy brightest, softest, sweetest poses
Is shrtn'd in Wornan's form!
hod Youth, tweet bison smiling morn
Of Life's eventful day
When blossoms fair conceal each thorn.
And every month is May;
Of thee posiess'd the guileless heart
Bet sees sterns! Spine.
• And Nature, yet unsehoord by Arts
'Bids Hope, the theaub, sing.
By Fancy wartn% by Pleasure led,
By Reason etwortrourd,
The Loves and Grates daily spread
Their nets it ltektg gold
Tor thoughtless Youth; but, ah I bow ioets
The dear delusion ties;
And soft retires the silver Moon,
When Morn illumes the skies!

Refection then, with brow strew,
First scans the little page,
And Menery too, with anguish kiwi
Width Time eau scares assuages
Dwells en the past—and, at Ant
Is mia'd with valued ore,
She entrees with the sup of Joy
♦ tear for those no more!

' Otis day last week, a girl with a child in her arms,
playing on the bank: of the rivet, in Salford, Man-
!, Chester, not far from the New Bayley Prison, unfor-
tunately let the childfall into the river. In the agony
of despair which ensued, she threw herself into the.
water, after it, in order to save it. She lost her life
in the attempt, but the,child was rescued by a person
who saw the transaction. He used his most strenu-
i slums endeavours to save the poor girl also, but in
vain ; she perished.
Friday last, as the Mail-coach was passing along
Poulson Bridge, which separates Cornwall from De-
: vonshire, one of the wheels came in contact with an
angle in the wall, and the coach overset. There were
four outside passengers on the coach ; three of whom
were precipitated over the bridge ; the fourth hung
by his hands on the top of the wall, until he was de-
livered by the Guard. A Mr. WILLIAMS, of Lon-
don, one of the passengers, had his right leg badly
fractered, and one of his ribs broken; another, a Por-
:tuguese, received several wounds and contusions in
(difft rent parts of his body ; the third escaped with a
'slight round on his knee. The coachman was se.'

Late on Saturday se'nnight a person of the name
of Bryce lost his life in the streets of Greenock. The
Mate of a vessel, the brig Helen, in that harbour.
charged with the murder, has absconded, and a ro.
ward, is offered for his apprehension. ' . • i
Monday se'nnight, four hundred French prisoners
arrived at Dundee in the Matilda transport, from
Plymouth. One of them who had died during the
passage was brought on shore on the Tuesday foe
interment. On Wednesday morning, the
were disembarked in presence of Captain Moataarts
and icatantly marched off for the depot at Perth, es.
coned by a detachment of the Renfrewshire Militia.
Those who might be unable to proceed farther than
inchture (a distance of about 8 miles from Montrose)
were to 1* accommodated for the night in the church
of that parish. The crowd of spectators assembled
, at the shore and in the streets of Dundee was ins-
Manse ; the boys huzzaing at the sight of so many
captive foes; and the men and women, influenced
by more philanthropy though not less nationality,
distributing bread and other presents among the un-
fortunate victims of war. In Perth Church the Ow.
ners contrived to draw many of the nails from
the seats, and break a number of the panes of the
windows ; and one of their number stole the two
onoitcloths (palls) belongipg
,to the church ; the
beadle being sent after them to the depot, the theft
was instantly discovered, which so incensed the pri
soners. against the thief, that they called out to
have him punished, and asked permission to do so,
by a Court -Martial, Having held this Court, they
ordered him a naval flogging of two dozen, with
the end of a hard rope.' The culprit was tied to a
limp•post, and with the first lash the blood sprung;
the punishment went on to 17 lashes, when the poor
creature fainted away, but has 7 more lashes yet to
`-..receive, when he is able to bear them.

mnrott Houst,.-Yesterday two respectable.l
young. men were charged by Mr. Metcalf. a trades-
man, residing in` the neighbourhood of Tower Hill,
with having, on Monday night, in company with di-
vers others, broken several of his windows. Mr.
Metcalf withdrew his charge on being-reimbursed
for the damage he had sustained. John Nicholron was
tharged with riotous behaviour, and throwing squibs.
Hemas discharged on receiving a suitabls repri-
mand floria the LORD MAYOR.
CVILDRALL.-4everal persons were brought up
for exataination, charged with riotous behaviour,
breaking windows, throwing squibs, &c. during the
\illuniaation on Monday evening, in Fleet-street. Se-
veral, were ordered to find bail, and others were dis-
charged with suitable admonitions.
Two young men, of the name of Line and Holland,
one of whom described himself as an apprentice to
Mr. Strachan, the King's Printer, and the other a
journeyman, inthe same employ, were charged with
picking pockets, on Ludgate Hill, and ordered for
further examination.

Bow-erancr.—The respectable part of the commu-
nity, in several parts of the town, were prevented
from enjoying the sight of the illumination, and par-
ticipating in the general joy that prevailed on Mon-
day night, by a set of idle apprentice boys, and fel-
lows of the lowest description, who were continually
letting off fire-works, firing off blunderbusses, mus-
kets, and pistols, among crowds of spectators, who
were quietly gazing at the •lluminations. A musket
burst in Spring Gardens, opposite the Spanish Am-
bassador's house, but we did not hear of any serious
mischief being done. The most outrageous conduct
took place in St. James's-street and Piccadilly, in
both of which places most of the homes were ex-
tremely well lighted ; and this scene continued till
near one o'clock, when most of the families went to
bed ; however, soon after that time, an immense
mob came calling out for lights, which had but a
little time before been burning brilliantly ; the inha-
bitants got from their beds, and shewed candles in.
their night linen only; this did not satisfy the mob,
who •ISegan to demolish the windows with sticks,
brick-bats, stones, kc. Some panes in Mr. Coutts's
house, which cost £4 lOL a square, were broke :
several windows in Sir Francis Burdett's were demo-

fished. This disgraceful scene 14tsted till 'past three
o'clock. The damage done is estimated at five or
six hundred pounds. Bacon, and his party of the
patrole, were stationed in that neighbourhood to keep
order but the mob was so large, that it was im-
possible to repress it. However, they fixed upon
three of the ringleaders, who were particularly ac-
tive in throwing brick-bats and stones, and at a con-
venient opportunity seized them ; when there was a
general sing out to rescue them, and the mob attacketi
the officers most violently, calling them Piccadilly
butchers, etc. ; and one of the patrole had his head
cut open ; they, however, fought their way bravely
through the mob, and conveyed their prisoners to a
watch-house. They found upOri them brick-bats and
stones. Yesterday morning they were examined be-
Ifori Mr. NA ft& ; they said their names are John
Woodhouse, Henry Paddock, and Thomas Diehituon.—
, They are a journeyman calico-printer, a servant out
of place, and an apprentice boy. They were ordered
to find bail,

Chariot CrOar was brought up by a party of the
patrol., charged with letting off a squib, in Catherine-
Street, and preparing to let off another. He was
convicted in the penalty of 20s.
Miaow Lkiford was charged with a similar offence,
opposite the. Admiralty, and was convicted.
iirtMass Curtis was charged with a similar offence,
at the same place, and was convicted.
Irilfiane and Join Cornwall, two of the mob in St.
James's-street, were brought in the custody of Nichols,
and charged by him with breaking windows, and
knocking. violently at doors at past one o'clock in
the morning. They were ordered to find bail.

Early on Friday morning, some thieves broke
open the house of Mr. Fryer, in Prospect-place, Pad-
dington, by forcing the shutter of the parlour win-
dow. A servant having heard them, and alarmed
the family, they made a hasty retreat np St. John's
Wood-lane, without taking any thing, leaving behind
a chide, a dark lantern, two sucks, and thrown away
seven picklock kays in a bag.

A Gentleman passing down Ludgate Hill on Sun-
day evening, between eight and nine o'clock, was.
hustled by three or four men, who attempted at .his
watch, but succeeded in getting the ribbon, with three
gold seals and gold watch key, which they broke off
and escaped.
VACCINATION.—A child having recently taken the
small pox at Halberstadt, in Westphalia, and com-
municated it to several others, one of whom died, ate
Magistracy interfered, and caused all the children in
the town to be 'nailed, and' the progress of the con-
tagion was effectually checked.
COROWRIed lanursr.-.-An Inquest was held on
Monday afternoon, at.. Middlesex Hospital, before
Gioia' HODGSON, Es q. Coroner for Middlesex, on
the body of a child, about three years old. It ap-
peared in evidence, that the deceased met his death
oa Saturday last, by falling out of the second storey'
window of the Bell public house, in Newton-street,
Holborn. The Jury, after a short deliberation, re-
turned a verdict—Accidental Death.

Thursday last i Court Martial was held on Lieute.
tenant TUOMAS BRADISH, for absenting himse:f with.
ourleave from his Majesty's sloop Tynan, in Navem-
ber, 1810. He was sentenced to be dismissed the
service. The circumstances which brought on his
'trial we understand were, that being absent from
the Tyrian several dare without leave, Captain DA-
VIES reported his conduct to the Admiralty, and he
was vapereeded. Soon after he presented Memorials
to the Admiralty, to be re-instated in his rank, which
Were not attended to, and he entered on board a West
Indiaman, out of which he was impressed by Cap-
tain KERR, of the Wolverine, and during the pertor.
=ACC of his duty on board that ship, for some offence
he was flogged : soon afterward his conduct called
for a -repetition of such punishment, and he then
stayed the proceedings, by declaring to Capt. Kraft,
be was a Lieutenant, and that he would undergo the
ordeal of a Court Martial upon his conduct, the re-
sult of which we have stated. Rau-Admiral ILLta.
