of his ancestors. This hiiision, it is said, will be nn

the highest scale of Magnificence. From the same
source through which we have received this informa-
tion, we likewise learn, that the greatest order and
tranquillity, rlotwithsanding the vast numker of fo-
reign troops, and the great change ohtzh has taken
place, continue to prevail in the French capital. The
derhonstrations of the public joy are represented as
exceeding every thing which the imagination could
well conceive ; and, if surpassed at all, it is by the
effusions of raptrircus ple.isure which arc now mani-
festing in London.
Who could have imagined that the French and
English nations should thus v;t• with each other in
expresions satisfaction f. r the same political oh-4

as in Paris, for the restoration of quiet, security, and
good goternment, in Fiance. The illuminations in
our streets, which have been unusually splendid and
general—the vast assemblage of persons of all con.
ditions, collected to witqess the brilliant scene—many
of•them, of both sexes, decorated with the white cock-
ade, are strongly indicative of the generous interest
which the English take in the welfare of a people who
were so recently, s.l long, and so acrimoniously, their
enemies. May this good will, which promises so much
mutual advantage, be as durable as it is auspicious ;
and if any thing could raise the British character
higher than it is at present, it is this exultation at the
welfare of a country against Which so many and just
causes of irritation existed.

The idea of miming the Bee which BONAPARTE'S
government caused to appear on the drop scene at the
Theatre, is not bad at this time, when the cry of all
Europe respecting BONAPARTE is—Be
The wretched Boirstwers has, it is said, dispatched
a secret agent to the Proprietor of Covent-Carden
Theatre, for permission to inhabit their island 0f.74e
Waters of Oblivion: this request has been granted, but
he is restricted to the parts of the burning elosartaho and
volcano.

The recent-arrival of Mr. MEATS in this country, a
punster declares to be a most happy event, as nothing
can better demonstrate the friendly dispositi•ut of the,
French than Meats being sent from France the-mo-
ment BONAPARTZ was dished.
The Latin inscription on Somerset-house, although
very suitable for the F. R. S.'s and F. S. A.'s, who in-

they did not understand French !—lt was all Grak td

Some wee light, we are now told, is likely to be thrown
on the Stock Exchange fraud ; and we wish, for the
sake of the parties implicated, that it may burn brighter
than the late Jarh•a-lantern, made up of didavit:
The Counter Revolution in France, as securing the
liberty of the press, must greatly open the eyes of the
French people, and who that saw the late illumina-

the Engliele? •
COV ENT- G A ROES TH FATRIL—One of the most nu-
merous and fashionable audiences rhicli even the
present successful season has produced, last night as-
sembled to witness Mrs. JORDAN'S resumption of her
professional duties: her entre as Rosalind in At you
like it, was milked by the most cordial greetings of
box. pit, sad galleries : every part of the house seem-
ed anxious to express the joy which her recovery from
severe indisposition imparted. Rosalind was never
played, even by herself, with more spirit, sprightliness
and vivacity. YOUNG, in the melancholy Jacque:, was
highly interesting ; and CONWAY'S Orlando demands
very favourable notice. Of MURRAY'S Adams we can•
not speak too highly : it is one of the most affecting
and highly finished pieces of acting in this range of
the drama which the Stage can boast. Among the
fashionables present were—Lady Caution, Lady Pe.
tee, Lady Broke, Lady Masan, Lady Chambers,
Lady Harewood. Sir M. Stapleton, Colonels Phipps,
Campbell, kc.

ImPOIITANT TO SroRTSIAIRN.—AI the Somerset As-
sizes a cause was tried, by which it was established,
that "o person has a right to destroy dogs belonging
to other persons, whether trespassiag or nor, and that
cautionary boards are of no avail. The action was
brought by Mr. Corner, against T. 8. Champneys,
Esq. and his game keeper, for shooting the plaintiff's
greyhound, which was proved by several gentlemen
to he a most valuable animal. It appeared that Mr.
Champneys had ordered his servants to destroy all
dogs found on his premises ; and one witness stated,
that she dog wag forcibly taken. tied to the stump of
a tree, and there shot and buried. The defendant
attempted to justify himself by stating that he had
cautionary boards put up, specifying that all dogs
found on his grounds would be shut. The learned
Judge anima&erted severely on Mr. Chummier,
conduct, and stated that such notice would not justify
the destruction of dogs. The Jury returned a ver-
dict for the plaintiff.—Damages
EXTRAORDINARY LITTRR or Fores.—Mr. WARR'S
fbr-hounds, on Monday la,t, having started a fox
near Rock-house, about six miles from Taunton, she

foxes ! We dt uht whether such an extraordinary in-
stance of fecundity .as ever before known. The
dam is exceedingly poor, and with all her cobs ate

The Fox-hunters say !Sat BONAPARTE 1110 to Vella
in the most cuwaidly way trey ever knew, and. in
consequence recommend that he should be served as
all had foxes are—s, dug out, and thrown among the
hounds."

VERSES
ON STATING THE GRAVE OF BURNS IN JANUARY LAST.

Sweet Bard of Nature I one sari ,o oft has hung
Eistrat.eld in rapture o'er thy artless lay,
And lisst nine to he music of thy song,
liegthrei full many a listless hour away—.
From Arum's banks—a stream in song unbleet—
. A southern stream--behold a stranger come
To elew tin s-ut where thy cold reli:s rest,
And pay his humble tribute a* thy tomb. •
How bush's] and solemn is this evening hour
No sounds are heard to break the calm profound,
Save the chill breeze that sighs thro yonder tower,
And the lorn owl that hovering sereains around.
How clear the sharp-horn'd moon is seen to stream
Her eioudlnss lustre through the frozen air !
And mark where Mill reflects her living beam,
I.lpee his icy mirror pictur'sl fair.
Emblem of thee! in summer's smiling reign,
%Vith wanton wave he kiss'd the bending trees,
And sparkling blythesome through the laughing plain,
Feting his wild music to the listening breeze.
But when her floods declining Aettinni pour's!,
High swelt'd hi"; stream, impatient of cositrosil,
And down the vale ith headlong torrent roar'd—
Strong as the wayward passions of thy soul.
Now elided he in icy fetters bound,.
Powerless like thee! his wonted skill unknown,
Thar charmed the vale, and woke the echoes round--•
litAiied all his music, all his rage foregone.
Vet Nith again shall burst his icy band,
Well pleased that storms no more his course arrest;
And foodly fingering upon yonder strand,
Murmur a Jeep:hue to thy dreams of rest,
Illhat though no sculpture marks this hallowed ground,
• To point"the spot, and deck thy lowly bed,
Though rude thy grave, and with no herbage crown's],
With er'd each flotiret, and its lustre ekes!.
Yet when the zephyrs breathe through soften'd
And spring returns to wake the purple year,
11w daisy h, re hi gratitude shag rises,
And weep u -on thy grave her early tear.
But while memorials rise to mark the spot
Where s.. ep the vain, the worthkss, and the proud,
Sl.ail he, the pride of Seothnd, be forgot,
Nur claim the weed to titled fools allow's] ?
lie who with pious thrift threw in his mite,
'ln deck the ashes of his brother Bardt ;
No kindred feelings shall his fate excite,
Nor Cotla's Poet claim a like reward?
0 lispless Boares ! will none around display
Tire bright example, and with pious zeal
Teach esery lose.r of the lowlandlay,
The same enthusiastic warmth to feel ?
Yes, there. are those with virtuous grief inepit'd,
Co ate thy bones utthonoured and utiblest ;
Vlions long the stranger's keen reproacis has Red,
To rouse a kindred flume in Scutie'e breaat.
And soon that stranger's eye shall j•sy to view,
Ly laste designed, a tend memorial rise,
TO pay his injured shade the honours due,
And meek the spot where buried Genius lies.
Sweet Bard! sar:weld Though narrow is thy bee,
And strait the space that Kings, like thee, must fill ;
Yet through the world thy deathless fame shall spread,
Expand yeses, and bloom and flourish still.
When Scottish hearie #all lobe the power to own
The magic charms of heaven-taugist poesy,
Then, when 11w muse shall S;pg to ears of stone,
But not till then, thy memory shall die.
No! long as Nlth shall view these banks of green,
And kiss the pebbles on her gentle shore ;
Long as the Cloudenle wizard stream is seen
l'hrough birken braes her sister wave to pour :
Long as un Crifde's giant height sublime
1 by favourite star shah hang her lamp at eve—
So long, superior to the range of time,
Nor yet lees brilliant, shall thy memory live !
M. Jos. W'ALTill.

have expressed the feelings of this great Metropolis,
on the recent glorious occasion, there is one that has.
arrested uncornmon attention --not by sublimity or clas-

liness and adaption to popular conception and expies-
siert. At a respectatie publichouse,the Swan, Kensing-
t,nGravel Pits, there is a balloon hung up in fi ont of the

A poor man, named Foley, was thrown under the

boy had been at the water with, having thrown its
rider, was running at large, and several persons were
attempting to catch it. Among the rest, Gibson
made a spring for that rorpcse, when he received a
very heavy kick on the front of his body from both
the animal'A hind-feet, and was thrown down ;—he,
however, instantly rose again, but he did not walk
more than two or three paces till he fell lifeless to the
ground. He was t.ikea to the nearest house, and me-
