ADDED LOVE.

•
BY THE LATE W. BATLEY, 1542.e...N0T FUSLIIMD IN

HIS WORKS.

Ye powers, who taught my artless sighs
A kindred heart to gain,
Teach me that blessing still to prize,
And as I prize, maintain.
L't kind attention, pleasing care,
O'cr all my thoughts preside;
Let love in Wry glance appear,
And ev'ry action guide

If e'er s cloud of peevish spleen
Our brighter hours o'ercast,
Let fancy quickly shift the acme
To fond endearments past :
O'er eery joy our breasts have felt,
Let faithful memory rove,
A:.d teach the hard'ning heart to melt
At recollected love !

Thus ev'ry eow'r that fared the wreath
Of hymen's festive chain,
tioinjured fragrance still shall breathe,
And ev'ry charm retain :
Thus while our hearts delighted prove
Our envied bliss secure,
Well boast the joys Of wedded love,
As permanent as pure!

tIoNTICEAL, /HAY 10.

Canada will.one day termite a powerful country.
The population is rapidly increasing, and the wild
lands carry succeeding year coming into extensive cul-
tute.. Vast tracks, which only a .few years ago formed
the 'canting grounds of the Indians, are now covered'
with it )Cks and herds. Cottages arise in all directions,
as it were, by enchantment ; every difficulty vanishes
before mutual support. The poor emigrant, who one
day is exposed to the skies, will find himself the next in
his cottage. The favourite C 11503121 here is what is termed
making a flee, which is always practised where expedi.
tint .is wanted. The person who intends getting up his
!mine or barn, has the timber prepared on the spot, and
upon notice Biven the hive assemble. Only one after-
noon is required, and the largest frame of house or
barn is up and roofed before night. Every man works
with tit much seal and alacrity, as you may imagine
sailtus Would do when a prise was in sight. But the
fact is. the Americans and Canadians would do as
ninth business in this way with a shore of hands, as ten
Our.: the number of Europeans could effect. The dex-
teitty With which they ale the axe is surprising. These
pe4ple. never need want, they can always support their
huniliei by cutting timber and drawing it to the
or burning it and making potash. 01 the other hand,
the European husbandman would starve, until he be-
came acquainted with the expert use of the axe. A
Scntchman will very soon get into the habit of finding
his bread in the woods, but the poor Irish have no con-
ception of this kind of employment. The latter will
walk about on a sultry day with a great coat on, to
keep him tool! his hands locked behind him; and un-
leas he can find sufficient cleared ground to put his spade
era raise murphies for the young Pats, they must
absolutely pia. i have seen a young settlement of
this 'kind, where the deVil a bit have they got, during a
• six months' winter, except potatoes ; yet they have
turned out gaily in the Spring, and no grumbling. But
the people evidently want support for a limited tithe,
as they are not much in request asibrat lo4ourers.

B4Rll42Lir: W. FAIR.
-_,
A Meeting of the City Lletie‘COntiriittet .ttiok -place
. at Guildhall, on Saturday, fot tht Pitieble; littOtigit
' 1 other subjects, of toting, into dmsiderifion Allot of
1 letting the grounds in Smithfield 'to the'severid itipli-
cant) for situations in which to -ffieetiffildingefor the
exhibition of pantomimes, interlude's, tants., thierfs,
wild beasts, etc. ire. Before the last entail oftChiamoit
Council tookl place, many applicttions hid hein 'made,
the report that efforts were maklig ifto put. dotn :the
fair altogether having, we underitma, eitifseil *treat
air amongst -the various Mitagers. A petitionAtied
by forty licensed victuallers, resident in the finhildtite
neighbourhood of Smithfield, was p.reiented to- the'
Committee.. It is stated, that the pititiorterilad 'paid
heavy premiums for their houses, in consequeneeortha'
advantages derivable from the fair, and that if the fair
were removed, or any obstacle thrown in the way of
the usual exhibitions, the property of those house's would
be so much injured as to cause the ruin of the petitioners.
In the Committee the representations made of the.
manner in which the different interests concerned in chili
letting of the ground would be affected made consider
able Impression. The general feeling amongst the
members was, that the Fair was a very great nuisance,
4n J that the theatrical booths ought to be suppressed—
that the encouragement given to thieves by the great
facilities afforded in a huge space crowded with persons
of all descriptions, assembled together principally by
the fascination of the skews, was a sufficient argument
of itself against the practice of letting the ground to the
owners of thews. It was also argued, that the petition
of the licenced victuallers was in it-elf a proof that the
Fair was the means of leading to other indulgencies
besides the innocent amusements of looking at all the
wonderful things exhibited in and upon the theatrical
buildings—that the publicans derived so large a profit
from the sale of spirits and beer during the four days,
as to lead them to apprehend that the loss of those four
days devoted to the celebration of the Saint, would
not only injure but actually destroy them and their
families. This latter argument was looked upon by
some as conclusive, but denied by others, who insisted
that the public-houses in the Fair and its vicinity were
always conducted with the greatest regularity upon
the occasion; that no scenes of riot took place in
thim, and that they were cleared of all visitors at
the time prescribed for :losing houses of the kind.—
After considerable discussion, it was resolved that the
ground should be let as hitherto has been the case.—
The Lord Mayor objected, as he had done in the Court
of Common Council, to the numerous exhibitions, as
tending to excesses in drinking, and other kinds of de-
bauchery. He deprecated, at the same time, the idea
of abridging the pleasure of the lower orders, so far
as those pleasures were not blended with the mis-
chievous materials which were to be seen in such abun-
dance in Bartholomew Fair. The arguments against,
the proposal to let the ground were certainly, in his'
opinion, very strong ; but as the Corporation hn4
pledged themselves to discuss the question most fulli
upon a future occasion, and as it was a subject which
he found, front the number of interests concerned, re-
quired deep attention, he approved of the intention of
the Committee not to deviate from the usual plan upoti
the present occasion.
We believe that although the
.prohibition of :hews,
&c. is not to be enforced, the Fair will eta but an in-
different figure ai to dramatic spectacle. Each succeed-
ing year cuts off a certain partisan at the area ; and
this liar will introduce the pruning knife even more
unceremoniously.
