TO THE WELSH HARP
Loved Instrument! again repeat those sounds,
Those plaintive airs, that through my senses sttal
With melachuly sweet. Their pow'r I fet•l
Soothing my sadness, healing sorrow's wounds.
Gently thou lull'st my stirrings to repose.
Inclin'st my heart to ev'ry virtuous deed;
Removing (rum my mind each dark'ning shade
That clouds my days. increasing all my word
Now swelling with the Meese. along thy vales,
Romantic Cambria ! the strain I hear,
Then dying soft away, comes o'er my ear
In whispers soft, still wafted by thy gales;
Loved instrument ! again repeat those sounds,
Soothing my sadness, healing sorrow's wounds.

The bad arrangement of :he Co'fins at Clerkenwell,
and at the Guildhall, Westmimter, is accounted for, it is said, by
the old adage of " too many cooks."
Among the late departures may b.' noted that of the
Secretary for the Home Department for Norfolk. The frequency
of those Ministerial excursions, contrasted with the known fact
that latterly they rarely or rather never include Finalisr in the cir-
cuit, is the subject of general speculation.
The letters from Rome aiiirm that the inhabitants of
fmola had been excommunicated, in consequence of their having
destroyed the Archbishop's Palace. The churches were all rinsed,
the sacrament refused, and all the other penalties enforced.
Sir C. Wetherell was appointed Attorney General in'
1826; he was succeeded by Sir J. Scarlett in 1827. Sir James
was succeeded by Sir Charles in 1828, and again succeeds his
id 1828.

We hear, on withority which is soniewlilit better than
mere rumour, that the Duke of Wellington has it in contemplation
to effect an alteration in the Tithe Laws next Session. Of the
precise nature of the intended change we are not at present he.
formed.—Betchion Gazette.
The appointment of a militiry character to the situ-
, *don of Head of the Metropolitan Police under the new act, is
said to have proceeded directly (Cons that Member of Its admi-
nistration who has had the best personal opportunities of estimat-
ing the qualitications of the gallant Colonel.
It gives us mach pain to hear that the state of health
of the Duke of Wellington Is such as to render frequent change of
air, and relaxation from business (.s fir as this last is practicable)
a matter of. necessity. Persons, who, from their particular func-
tions have constant opportunities fur observation, assert, that the
anxiety, fatigue, late hours, and vexatious occurrences of the re-'
eently closed Session have produced more effect on the constitu-
tion of the Premier than half a dozen active campaigns. It is'
asserted that the Duke has been frequently beard to speak in terms
rather alarming of his consciousness of increasing infirmity:—
Morning Paper.
Yesterdav forenoon the whole of the " disiuounted
police patrol,h with the several officers of the 'stabil-lenient, were
mustered in the Treasury passage, end were afterwards suspected by
Mr. Wilbur* Peel, and Lieutenant-Colonel Rowan and Mr.
Mayne, the two newly appointed Justices under the Metropolitan
Police Art. They made very mit.ute observations and inquiries
of Mr. Day, the conductor of the establishment, relating to the
men, and seemed to be much pleased with their appearance.
A letter from the Island of San Miguel, one of the
Azores, dated the 2:4 of June, states, that Lord Strangroid had
touched there on his return from Brazil. Ilia presence prevented
an attempt which was to have been made that evening in favour of
Donna Maria des Gloria. The Noble Lord, to revenge himself for
the failure of his mission to Don Pedro, invited aboard hie -hip all
Don Miguel's officers who were on the i•land, and held language
highly disparaging as to the state of opinion in Drexil, and as to the
personal character of the Emperor.—Cosirrier Francais.
