libsvolving Time has brought the day
That beams with Glory's brlglitest ray
io }finery's page, or Poet's lay,
The day of Waterloo!
Lech British bean with ardoutrOntrni, • '" •
Aszhis resplendent day returns; •
While bumbled France to secret mourns
The day of Waterloo! •
Then lift the brimful goblet high,
While rapture beamf in every eye;
Let shouts of triumph rend the sky,
The toast be " Waterloo r
To all who can the honour clabn,
From WaLutrozotes immortal name
To th' humblest sun of martial fame
Who fogilt at Waterloo !
Fill, fill the wine-cup yet again,
But altered be the joyous strain
To those, the cup now bilent drain,
Who fell at Waterloo!
Soft sigh, ye breezes, o'er the grave
Where rest the relics of the Brave,
And sweetest ilow'rets o'er them *are
Who sleep on Waterloo!
From their ensanguin'd honour'd bed
The Olive rears its peaceful bead,
Nursisi.by the sacred blood they shed,
At glorious Waterloo!
Freedom's sacred cause to die,
to Victory's embrace to lie,
Who would bot breathe his latest Fish.
Like thaw at Waterloo!

Three packets siilcd on Saturday morning from
Dover for Calais, with upwards of seventy passengers,
and among them Mr. ERGUGHASI, M.P. Nearly the
same zumber embarked every day during the last
Week, with several families of distinction, and On an
average more than ten carriages each day.

SILVIR COlN.—There having been some demur
among the S:lopkeepers in Dumfries regarding the
receipt of our silver currency, a meeting of the inha-
bitants was called, and a letter on the subject writ-
ten to the CHANCkLLI.ti of the EXCHEQUER, who, in
course of post, returned the following satisfactory
answer :

" DO7PAING•STRitt, IVNII VANSITTART precasts
his compliments to Mr. Tnostson, and In reply to his letter of
the 11th instant, begs to acquaint him, that all shillings and els•
pences that can be considered as of the established standard in
Maness (and it appears that large proportions of the plain ones
are gf this description) will be exchanged for the new silver coin
when It is issued."

Friday a sudden and altogether unexpected demur
took place in Bath respecting the silver currency,
which originated the preceding day at Bristol. A
pneral refusal of receiving any of the plain shillings,
which had been in common circulation, caused nearly
a total stagnation to business; and the next d iy being
Bath market, serious consternation -and dismay pre.
ailed. The poorer classes were apprehensive of not
being able to procure sustenance for themselves and
families ; wbilst the market people were equally under
alarm that their meat, vegetables, and other comma.
dities, would remain -unsold nn their standings. In
this dilemma, the Mayor and other Magistrates in-
vited the conference of the bankers and some of the
principal tradesmen, who immediately signed a Reso-
lution to continue to take the old silver coin in their
usual course of .business; and his Worship caused
handbills to that effect to be promptly distributed
throughout the City.
The Magistrates of Liverpool have lately fined se.
vend shopkeepers in the penalty of £5O, for refusing
in payment shillings which' were proved to be the
current.coin of the realm.
By a late decision in the Court of King's Bench, a
stage-coach may pass any toll•bar, and change horses,
and return, without being liable to a second toll•duty
on the same day.
A poor Barber of Dorking, after being pumped
of all be knew of the character of a man named Er-
TERSUA.NK) orient his neighbours, and which he de-
scribed as none of the best, had an action brought
against him for defamation in the Common Pleas, on
Sattirday, by said ETTRRSUANK, who was deprived
thereby of an apprentice, with one hundred guineas
premium. The friends of the boy went purposely to
the :haver to obtain the information ; and Sir V.
Guns laid it down, that where information was
sought, and given irra confidential manner, the per-
son giving the information was not liable in law to
an action. The Jury found 'a verdict for one :blithe:
damages only. Before the action, WALKER, the
Barber' was requested to recant ins assertions, but
he declared, like a hero, that he would sooner have
his pole converted into, a gallows, and have himself
hung like a dog upon it, than go back from what he
h*d said.
BOW-STREET.Stafeely a day has passed for some
time past Without information being received of
houses being.robbed by several men entering them,
pretending to be plumbers, dressed in aprons, with
tools, and in every respect resembling men of that
trade. They pretend that they are working at the
zest door, or below in a Water-works Company, just
as it suits their purpose. They say the pipes are out
of repair, and wish to examine them, which the see.
omits incautiously allow them to Jo, and they take
an opportunity of, filling their pockets with every
thing that is valuable, and walk out unsuspected.—

square, was robbed of $O plate oa Saturday by

An inquest was held a week ago on the body of
the driver of the Cashel coach, who was shot at the
turnpike-gate of Kill. The following, says the Free-
man': Journal, is an authentic statement of the circum-
stances under which this unfortunate man has lost his
life i there were two persons engaged in the business
' of driving; one was a new driver, and the other (the
deceased) was sent forward for the purpose of point.
ing out the peculiaritietof the road. We do not know
which of them held the reins and the whip, but it
seems that some country people were made to feel the
efficacy 'of the latter; whether (as is too often the
case) for mere purposes of diversion, or to obviate an
apprehended accident, does not appear certain. When
this occurred it was 10 o'clock, and the coach hid not
' advanced many yards when it was assailtd, or con-
' ceved to be assailed by a stone. The horses were
instantly. pulled up, and the guard, followed by the
deceased, proceeded to discovee the quarter from
whence the missile issued. An altercation with the
' country people was of course the consequence. The
guards had their fire-arms, and loud threats were
used to endeavour to induce one of the suspected per.
sons to surrender, and suffer himself to be conveyed
to the coach as a prisoner. Little time elapsed before
a shot was beard, and a man seen to fall. A crowd,
of course, instantly collected, and on inquiry being
made as to the sufferer, it was ascertained to be Con-
ningham, the driver. It was from ere pistol of the
guard, Demenne, who has been committed to Naas
Jail for trial, that the fatal ball proceeded. Dawson
accounted for the short by stating that it occurred- in
an effort made by the deceased to snatch the pistol,
which was cocked, from his hand. The unfortunate
Cuntiingliam was conveyed in great agony to the
coach, and he lived until it reached Naas. During
the journey, he bewailed to a single passenger who
was in the coach the loss which his wi e and children
must sustain in his death, and desired, we are in-
' formed, repeatedly, that his blood shuuld.be avenged.
The shot.was received in the abdomen, and no sur-
gical aid could yield the smallest relief. Dawson,
we are told, is loud in his protestations of the shot
being unintentional. We have bat heard that any
animosity subsisted between him and the deceased.
The verdict of the Jury was—Wird and deliberate
Murder againht James Dawson.
Those who have lived rather gay, and are doubtful
of the consequences of an ill-cured contagion, and
are lingering under diseases, by consulting men igno.
rant of an important branch of the profession, are in-
formed that 'Dr. Coma, and three Surgeons of great
experience, Members of the Royal College, in Lon-
don, have established a Medical Board at Charlotte
House, Great Charlotte-street, opposite ' the Rev.
Rowland Hill's Chapel, Blaekfriars Road, London.
The Medical Board claims the attention of those who
have been improperly treated, send particularly those
who are afflicted with Strictures, Fistulas, Cancers,
Scrofula:, and Debilities, arising from warm di:hates,
juvenile indiscretions, acc. who are cured without
confinement. Eruptions on the head, face, and body,
sore eyes, ulcerated throat, pains in the head and
limbs, frequently mistaken for rheumatism; nodes
en the shin bones, &c. are symptoms which appear
years alit., and tiro often destroy domestic happiness.
'Messrs. Comma and Co. are consulted daily by all
ranks of people from tight in the morning till nine at
night; or by letter, inclosing a fee (for no others are
answered) stating their case, when medicine and ad-
vice is sent to all parts of the kingdom. The piles
