Lord NUGENT, during a- recent visit at Minton,
Lad his thumb bitten by an adder. From she reptiles
venom Luang imbibed by the absorbents, inflammation
'was excited up the arm, and ex ended from the axilla
to the breast and stomach. The consequences were
happily averted by medical assistance; and his Lord-
ship api e ►ed at Aylesbury on Saturday last iu his (dual
state of health.

The town and. neighbourhood of Birnet have been
visited during the last fortnight bp-several dkpredAtots,
who have carried c,ff undistotered a large quantity .of
poultry and fruit. Juaday, during Divine Service, the
house of the Mies QUILTEIt, at Hadley, was entered,
and stripped of nearly all their plate and several other'
articles.

After an action near BA;SIISIOTe, doting the American
war of 1814, several men were ob.erved hanging life-
less among the branches of the tree,. They Lad been
American riflemen, who chose, during the battle, to
fix them:elves in these elevated situations, fnr the com-
bined purrose of securing a good aim and avoiding
danger. Whatev,r might be their success in the first
of these de signs, in the last they fitted ; for our men
soon discovered them, and considering the thing as
Weir, refused to give them quarter, and shot them on
thcir perches.
Sunday afternoon, during the fashionable boors, an
accident which had n. ants proved fatal in its re,ults,
took place in Hyde Park, in the ride between the s•atue
of Achilles and Stanhope-gate. A gig, in which was
a Lady and Gentleman, drawn by a tine Spirited horse,
took fright at something in the ride, and galloped with
the utmost impetuosity from the direction of Grosvenor-
gate towards Hyde Park Corner. The Gentlem.n was
incapable of reining it is, and c illed out repea eJly for
some persons to impede the animal's course, but this
was impossible, without the danger of being kn 'eked
down and run over ; the Lady, in the meantime, was in
.he greatest agitation. Tile animal ran the ch si se against
the hind wheel of a carriage; so 4!eat was the shock,
dist the Lady was thrown from her seat•into the toad,
bet, happily, in a situation so as to_ clear the legs of the
infuriated animal, aci also the chaise. She was instantly
taken up, apparently quite. lifeless, and taken irsto the
carriage which had unintentionally caused the accident;
volatiles were immediately applied, and the carriage
drove off in the ditection cot S anhope gate, for the pun•
pose of procuring medical advice for the injured` L ady.
('he chaise was stopped near the milk•house, at Hyde
rat k-cornet, without the Gentleman receiving any in-
jury. The chaise received considerable damage.

Lille following l'o;m, the concluding portion of
which is worthy of Churchill, is the production of that
fine old Cavalier, Al xtnde: Robertson of Stiowan,
well known as t' e author of a volume of fu},itive pieces,
honourably mentioned in .. W A vefiey." and the supposlci
original of the g.liant and eccentric Baron of Bradwar-
dine. It has never, so far as we know, been publishel,
though a few manuscript copies were circulated among
the immediate connec.rons and friends of his family,
from a younger brain's of which are have obtained,
through the medium of a fi ienJ, that which we now
lay before the public. Oar reaslets will be at no loss
to conceive to whom it is addressed ; nor will they
perhaps be inclined to condemn very strongly the keen
severity of its satire, if they,tall to mind this the author
was warmly attached to the losing side, and wrote tinder
the. exasperation of defeat, occasioned, as he firm')
believed, by t.eac',et y.—The author of this Poem was

To an that virtue's holy ties can boast
To truth, to honour, and to manhunilost.
HOW halt thou wandered tro it the sacred road,
The paths of honesty, the pole to Goo!
Mr! talk., fallen irom the high degree
Of spotless fame and pure integrity!
Where all that unwary th it filled your breast,
The pride of sentiment, the thought protest,
Th' unbiased principle, the generous strain
That warm'd your blood. and beat in every vein?
All! all are fl.d!—Oiler honest, steady, brave,
'low great the change—to coward, traitor,• knave!
Oh, hateful love of life! that prompts the mind,
The godlike, great, and good to leave behind!
From wisdom's laws, form honour's glorious plan,
From all on earth that dignifies the mail.
With steps unhallOw'd wickedly to stray,
And trust and friendship's 'holy hands betray!
Curs'd fear of death! whose bugbear terrors fright
lb' unmanly breast from suffering is the right;
Tb t strike the man from th' elevated state—
Front every character and name of great,
And throws him doWit bctirath the vile degree
Of galley'd slaves, or duogcutt villainy
Oh! N—! Nl—! once of truth appealed,
Xour Prince's darilitq, by his party lord,.
‘Vben all were !mid your worth and fame to raise,
And expectation 'puke your future praise,
'low cold you sell that Prince, that cause, that fame,
For life enchaiied to Infamy and shame?
See gallant Arthur' whose undaunted soul •
No dangers Lighten, and no fears confront,
With unconctrn the axe and block surveys,
And smiles at all the dreadful scene displays;
While undisturb'd his thoughti so steady keep, •
He goes to death as others go to sleep.
Gay 'midst their gibbets and devouring fire,
What numbers hardy in the cause expire!
But what are these to thee?—examples vain; •
Yet see, and blialk, If still the power remain.
Behold tile meashal band that broke your bread,
That wip'd your shoes, and with .you• crumbs was fed.
When life and riches proffer'd to his view,
Before his eyes the strong temptation threw,
Rather than quit Integrity of heart,
Or act like you th' unmanly traitor's part,
Disdains the purchase of a, worthless
And bares his bosom to the butchering knife;
Each mean compliance gallantly detiies„
And in mute honesty is brave and dies:
Wbile you, tho tutor'd from your early youth
To all the principles of steady truth;
Tho' fittlAtiOn, birth, and character conspire
To kindle in your breast the manly fire;
• Foetid:, tepuration,•elinselenee, all disclaim.
To glory lost, and sunk in endless shame ;•
For the dull privilege to larvOit the air.
For evert..wing infamy declare, .
And down to late posterity record, •
A name that's curs'd, ahandon'd, and abhorred.
Go, wretch, enjoy the purchase you have &rid,
Scorn, and reproach your every step attend;
By all mankind neglected and forgot,
Retire to solitude, retire and rot.
But whither, whither can the guilty fiie, .
From the devouring worms that never die?
Those inward stings that rack the villain's breast,
Daunt his lone hoursi and break his tortued rest!
'Midst ,'midst rucks, and deserts you may dud
A safe retreat from•all the human kind ;
But to what foreign region can you run,
Your greatest enemy, yourself, to shun?
Whereor thou gu'st, wild anguish and despair,
And black remorse attend, with hideous stare,
Fear your distracted soul with torments fell;
Your passions, devils, and your bosom, hell!
Thus may you drag your heavy chain altrig.
Some minutes more inglorious life prolong;
And when the fates shall cut a coward's breath,
Weary of being, yet afraid of death ;
It crimes like thine hereafter are torgiv'n,
dada@ and M both may go to heav'n.

• Lord Da!merino. This brave but unfortunate Nobleman died
as lie lived, with unsullied honour and heroic constancy. His fellow
sufferer, it is well known, was the elegant and accomplished Bays!,
Mari of Kilmarnock. The couplet of Horace Walpole is felicitously
descriptive of the difer-nt feelings excited by the fate of these
sedan: men. • '
beloved by gentle hearts Kilmarnock died;

L ist week, a little boy from lnchinnan came to P.sis!ey
Lair, and while there drank a gl4 .s of whisky and a
tumbler of porter : on being taken home lie became un•
well, and his parents, thinking it was only the effects of
whisky, put him to bed to sle:p it.off, where he was not
long in beture he fell into convulsion., which, alarming
his parents, medical aid was procured, but unfortunat •ly
it failed to afford any relief, and Is. died very shortly
a'ter.—Paisley Advertiser, Amg. 18. _ .

• A melanchOly accident occurred at Seaford onThirs-
darlast. W bile Mr. WiNDLIS, a young Gentleman who was lodg-
ing there, and who has been, during the summer, in the frequent
bahit of bathing alone on our brach, was enjoying his favourite
amusement without sufficiently appreciating the force of the swell,
which bad been occasioned by the recent gale., he was, it is sup-
posed, taken off his feet by the retiring wave, and untortunately
drowned. The body was discovered in about half an hour, by a
person in the Blockade service, stationed in the tower; but before
it could be rescued from the waves, the vital spark was extinct:—

AYLESBURY, Atici.lB.—A dieulfill accident occurred
on Monday se'rmight. A waggon and a timber carriage be-
longing to Mr. Cooling, of Lower Winchendon, had been to
Aylesbury to fetch timber. When the carriages were at Stone, on
their return to Winchendon, a boy who had been driving one of
them imprudently endeavoured to get into the waggon as it was
going on. In the attempt be slipped and fell, and his loot got
entangled between the spokes of the wheel, whilst his smock frock
was twisted round the nave or huh. The waggoner's attention was
first attracted by the boy's screams, and be stopped his horses im-
mediately; but it was then too late; his foot was literally torn
horn Main, and laying in the road. Mr. Seeley, Mr. Hayward,
and other surgeons were sent fur, who proMptly obeyed the call,
and found his leg dreadfully lacerated ; the foot had been separated
from it a little above the ancle, and the bone was laid bare to the
knee. They therefore thought it nee e yto amputate the mangled
limb immediately above the knee—an operation which the poor
lad bore with moch.fortitude.
