au•hur, with a good•natured, yet keenly satirical Muse,
describes the cosintries, incid-nts, and individuals he
met with in a Journey, iviaVienna, to the Congress at

happie•t of our author's descriptions, we Watt OR ac-
count of its being easily detached:

" I saw young NAP, and he appears
A youth matued beyond his years;
His nose and chin proclaim his sire;
His eyes bespeak a latent fire •
His manner ardent, quick, and bold,
Reminds one much of NAP the old.
Attended by two surly sages,
And three or fur Imperial pages,
He came see night to see the Play,
And look'd and laugh'd and talk'd away.
His granddre close adjoining sat,
And Nappy's pate would often pat :
While Nappy, smiling in his face,
Apposed to ask if be could trace
The organ there which skullmen find
In skulls foe sos'rrign pow'r design d?
But politicians well may doubt,
If cranium quacks e'er fond it out !"

every point. By the arrival of the direct ships from
England, Mr. Uararrow, the chief of the British fac-
tory, had received accounts of his MAJESTY having
been graciously pleased to confer on him the honour
of Knighthood by patent, for his conduct during the
long a:.d anxious discussion in which he was engaged
with the Chinese Authorities, relative to the affair of
the Tovnze frigate at Lintin.

Greenwich was yesterday again a scene of harmless
enjoyment and gaiety, as a great number 'of 'persons

sited by numbers of holiday folks.
The combination amongst the cotton-spinners of the
neighbourhood of Carlisle is still in operation—boys
are secretly sworn not to commence spinning ; acid
we know of mote than one instance where youths have
refused to earn from 15s. to 18s. per week, though, . s
piecers, their wages are only 6s. under the pretence that
they would prefer the:r present occupation two years
longer—the period appointed by their high mightinesses

Ispidners struck on the 13th, and the Mains manufactory
has therefore been standing still during the whole of the
past week. It will, however, be set in motion in a few
days, by fresh hands ; and Messrs. Dixon commenced
working one rf their mills on Tuesday last ; so that few
of the turn-outs (whom truth constrains to confess that
they have nothing of importance to complain of) ate
I kely to resume their former comfortable situations ;
many of them. in fact, have already quitted the town.—
