THE BRIDE.

PROM THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

A holy softness glisten'd in her eyes
As bright in tearful smiles the new-made bride
Survey'd the wedded lover by her side,
Now link'd to her for ever, with the ties
Of Haar nes own blest cementing, and with sighs
That breathed of speechless fondness, she replied
To his enraptured words, and strove to hide
Those sweet effusions which at times would rise
To dim her radiant glances, like the dews
That fall on summer mornings, and bespeak
The heart's o'erflovring transport, while the hues
Of Love's celestial painting softly break
O'er her fair cheek, and add a blushing grace'
To each divine expression of her face I

ENGLISII OPERA HOUSE.
This Theatre closed last night, with the Marriage of
Figaro, and Gordon the Gipseg. • The following farewell
address was spoken by Mr. BARTLIY :
" Limes Awn Gurnesus-s-its the performances of this evening
will terminate our short season, it becomes my duty to offer the
usual tribtke of thanks for the patronage we have enjoyed. On an
former occasion have I been warranted in doing this in terms so
entirely unqualified as on the present: the great and various exer-
tions which have been made to ensure your favour, have all been
crowned with unprecedented success; and it is not saying too much
to assure you, that our gratitude is commensurate with your liberal
patronage. The proprietor hopes that he does not arrogate to him-
self more merit than your kindness will afford to him, when he
boasts of having been the first to bring forward the masterly com-
position of the freischapta. The Production of this splendid Opera
may almost be considered as a new era in dramatic music : and the
extraordinary success which has attended it—notwithstanding the

enormous expense incurred by its performance, and the other novel-
ties which have been provided for your entertainment—has con-
vinced him, that, even in his very limited season, in the most un-
favourable period of the year, a powerful combination of excellence
and talent is certain to receiVe the gratifying meed of your protec-
tion and support. In this conviction, it is hardly necessary ro assure
you, that the next season shall be marked even br increased energy,
and by new efforts to merit your approbation.
" It now only remains for me, Ladies and Gentlemen, to offer you
the sincere thanks of the Proprietor; and, in my own name, and
that of all the Performers, to bid you, respectfully, farewell."

EXTRAORDINARY UNDERTAKING.
Monday last, a man, calling himself Richatd Sutton, started in the
Marsh,Southampton,to unwind 100 yards of line from a stake 6 inches
in circumference, and which he was to accomplish with the end of the
line attached to his body, continually running round the stake, and
progressively enlarging his circle until the whole was unwound, in
twelve hours. lie commenced his arduous und-rtaking at Agin
o'clock in the morning, and continued his exertions till pact six
b'clock in the evening, when a set of blecitguards obtruding them-
selves within the circle and interrupting the passage of the line, he
was compelled to relinquish bis task. The distance he would have
run, bad he unwound the whole of the line, has been calculated to
be 68 miles 434 yards; and there is reason to believe he would
have accomplished it but for the interruption.

Britannia-fields, Islington, on Sunday last, his horse
suddenly took fright, and started off atfull speed towards
the bridge, near the City-road hick. In order to avoid
being dashed against the side of the bridge, Mr. GOLD-
ING endeavoured to turn the horse's head round, when
the animal plunged into
.the canal ; and Mr. GOLDING
being unhorsed, and unable to swim, was, not svithbut
considerable difficuky, extricated from the most •immi-
mint peril of drowning, by the exertions of some per-
sons who) witnessing the accident from the bridge,
rushed into the water to his assistance. Neither the horse '
nor his rider sustained any injury beyond the fright and
mere ducking. •
