SONG.

• Ye winds that, through the empty air,
Speed with the swiftness of adream,
A lover's message with you bear;
Light is the burden—soft the theme !
0, when ye greet the saint-like form
Of her belov'd, in absence still,
The star that glitters through the storm,
The lovely watch-light on the hill!
In whisp'ring grove and stilly hour,
When Angels walk abroad on earth,
When skies are clear, and bird and flower
Their melody and bloom put forth!
Tell her to nurse the sigh ye bring,
Tu prize the pledge in sadness given,
• Amidst the buds, arid songs of Spring,
Beneath the open eye of Hitavad

Tull her I love—and quickly fly,
And drink the sweets of every flower,
To fill with fragrant breath the sigh
Ye bear into a Virgin's bower!

ENGLISII OPERA-HOUSE.

It. C.

The s.9iri;es Annisantes, a new class of entertain-
'rents, which have been recently set on foot at this
place, attracted a considerable audience last evening.
They are highly entertaining, and hold the attention
firmly, without any occurrence of tedium or anxiety.
The first part, which is represented by shadows, is a
very clever illusion, displaying the company, adven-
tures, and travelling of a stage-coach, which "stands
still at the rate of eight miles an hour." The cha-
racters form a very eccentric groupe, and conduct a
conversation no less variegated and whimsical. The
prosecution of Mr. Queer Trumpet, the puppet-shew
man, by Vr.Footlight, Manager of a licensed Theatre,
succeeds, and was applied with great alacrity by the
audience as allusions to matters of real moment.—
The second part, Dr. Faustus in London," is a
snore adventurous effort still. The display of heads,.
prepared by his familiar to represent the opinions
and habits of the town, in living form, to the Doctor's
view and hearing, is a contrivance of great merit.—
It opens an opportunity for judicious satire, which is
here turned to good account. The heads of the
woman of quality, of Don Juan, and of the poetical
punster, who keeps a menagerie of wild beasts, are
rich in sarcasm, point, and humour, and give no
inapt display of the prevailing follies, prejudices,
and bad taste of the current times—at the same
time they convey none of that unjust bitterness which
condemns and denounces the whole fabric of a
polished society on account of a few countervailing
defects. " Guy Fawkes," which succeeds and finishes
the entertainments, is no less prolific in facetious
humour and witty contrivance. The pieces were
intermixed by choice selections of vocal music, in
which Mr. BROADHURST, Miss TUNSTALL, and Miss
STEVENSON distinguished themselves. Upon the
whole it may be fairly said, that where cheerfulness
is the object sought,. an evening cannot be more
rationally and pleasantly spent than at these enter-
tainments.

The Opera of Artaxerxes is getting up at Covent-
Garden Theatre, in opposition to the other House.
Miss STEPHENS is, of course, to resume her original
character of Mandane, and Miss M. TREE is to ap-
pear for the first time in Arbares.
The receipts of money at the doors of Drury-Lane
Tneatte, on Thursday evening, are said to have
i.nounted to upwards of £6OO.

The house of H. HEDGER, Esq. a Magistrate fur
the county of Surrey, situate at Walcot-place, Lam-
beth, was broken into a few nights ago, and robbed
of a quantity of valuable family plate, clothes, linen,
and other articles, to a very considerable amount.
A few nights ago, as Ir. LEWIS, of Dock-head,
who is between sixty and seventy years of age, was
walking near the end of Dover-street, in St. George's-
fields, he was stop Fed by some men, who demanded
his money. The venerable gentleman did not imme-
diately comply, on which one of them gave him a
severe blow on the nose, which deprived him of sense;
tiley then robbed him, and escaped.
Thursday night, George Smith, a shoemaker, of,
Barlow-street, Mary-la-bonne, who had previously
been in gor d health, went to bed, and not rising at 1
the usual hour, alarm was excited, and on examina-
tion he was found dead in his bed.

Thursday se'nnight, the body of a man, apparentiy
of about sixty years of age, and who it is supposed
had lost his way and perished through the intensity
of the cold, was discovered at the bottom of a deep
ravine, near Selcoth, in the Parish of Moffat. On
the person of the deceased there were found several
certificates, all of the same tenour, bearing that David
Cowt was the name of the deceased—that he had
lost his hearing when seven years of age—that he
was of a wandering disposition, and requesting in-
formation to be sent to the subscriber, George Cowt,
at Boathall, near Musselburgh, in case anything should,
happen to him. The circumstances which led to the'
discovery of the body are somewhat singular, and
afford another instance of the fidelity of the canine
species. On the evening of Monday, the shepherd,
at Sailfoot heard a dog barking in the Selcoth Linn,
and on going near it, the animal fled. The shepherd,
alarmed for the safety of his master's flock, followed
the dog, with a view of Jiving it off the farm ; but
on reaching a cc: tain spot, the dog turned furiously
on its pursuer, and the latter, after keeping it at bay
with his stick for about twenty minutes, was glad to
make his escape. The shepherd being still very doubt-
ful of the safety of the sheep under his charge, pro-
cured the assistance of a neighbour, having no wish
to renew the combat single-handed, and went in pur-
suit of the dog early on the ensuing morning. When
arrived within a few yards of the scene of the pre-
ceding night's engagement, they discovered the dog
lying, beside the remains of its master. From the ap-
pearance of the body, life must have been extinct for
at least four or five days before it was discovered, and
during all this titre the faithful and affectionate toil-
mal, without a I:article of food, and exposed to the
most intense cold, had patiently watched the body
of its quotidian friend and master. After the corpse
s% as placed :in the "Church,
.the dog made its escape
from the Gentlenian Who look charge of it, _and
made an -attempt to get into the Church, to resume.
its grateful duties.
