EVENING.

ibis is the hour when Metsery wakes

Sweet dreams that could not last;
This is the hour when Fancy takes
A survey of the pan !
She brings before the pensive mind
Dear thoughts of earlier•years,
And Friends that have been lung consigned

To silence and to tears!
The few we liked, the one we loved,
Come slowly stealing on,
And many a form far hence removed,
Asd many a pleasure gone !
Friendiblps that stow in Death are hush'd,

Affectioo's broken chiin,
And Hopes that Fate too quickly erosh'd,

In liletn'ry live again!
I watch the fading gleams of day,
I muse on bright scenes flown,
Tint after tint they fade away—
Night comes—and all are gust!

GRIMALDI'S FAREWELL.

Grimaldi that clown ot clowns, and the most '
classical clown that ever raised a laugh in this care' '
corroded world—has bid farewell to the stage for eve'
and for aye. He quietly resigned his theatrical life at 1
twelve o'clock last Monday night, in the 49th year 01
his age, surrounded by a host of friends, at the Sadler's '
Wells Theatre. A very sprightly and well-sustained
Masquerade was the concluding amusement, in which
he had no part; but at the close of it, he came on the.
stage dressed in bl,ck, with white waistcoat and gloves,
and advancing to the footlights, whilst the crowd of
performers silently arranged themselves around him, he
addressed the audience, wr.h much feeling, as follows—
" Lams axe Ceirmaram—Many persons here present, judging
from my appearance, no doubt look upon me as a very aged man.
I will convince them of the contrary. I was born oa the 111th of
December. in the year 1779; consequently, so the lath of last
December. I completed my forty-eighth year. It is ant ageobere-
fore that has thus pulled me down, but disease; and I humbly sub.
mit to the iiMictioo. Before I was three years old, Ladles and
Gentlemen, I was engaged to perform at this theatre ; and I have
remained its constant and faithful servant even until now—a period
of forty-five years. In the course of that time. I have arrived—l
hope I may say it without being accused of vanity—l have arrived
at the very top of my profession (applause, and cries of, 4 You have,
yen have] ; and my path thereto has been continually cheered, and
my bumble ezertions fostered and encouraged by your kind indul-
gence and liberal support. But tiny race is ended No, no, no'],
for these four yews past, Ladies mid Gentlemen. I have laboured
under serious and continual indispeckion, and I have no hope that
I shall ever again be able to appear before you—l feel that it is ins-
pnlaible; but that you may enjoy uninterrupted health—that bless-
ing which alone can malteds!, life comfortabk--shaU be the earnest
prayer of Joe Grimaldi to the last hour of his existence. Before I
mesciudi. Ladies and Gentlemen, permit me to say, that the Pro-
prietors of this establishment have, in the moat handsome manner,
given me the woof the theatre for this night gratuitously. r They
caught to sire you a pension for life!' cried several voices]. My
Mod friends the performers, by whom I am now surrounded—the
Gentlemen of the orchestra—sit—all have freely given me their
services to snub me to appear before you this last time, and for
my own emboli% benefit. To you--te them-1 offer my heartfelt
Hawks, !nd I;—;can only say, Goa bless you all !—Farewell !"
The performers closed round him, and led him away, amidst loud
and kerg-eontinued applause; whilst i• Grimaldi'. Thanks" were
displayed in a brilliant bre.work at the upper end of the stage.

BANK OF ENGLAND.

This day, at twelve o'clock, the half-yearly Court of
Proprietors of the Bank of England was held, for the
purpose of declaring a Dividend for the half-year past.
The minutes of former Courts having been read,
The Govaastoa announced that the Court of Direc-
tors had determined upon a Dividend of four per cent.
upon the Conspany's stock.
Mr. Youwo, a Proprietor, put several questions to the
Governor, with the view of ascertaining the present posi-
tion of the affairs of the Bank of England. He asked the
amount of theßank notes now is circulation? the amount
appropriated to the use of the Branch Banks ? whether
the Directors intended to permit the Branch Banks to
pay the dividends? whether the notice given to the
Branch Bank of Leeds were sent to the other Banks?
and the amount of stock in hand ?
The GOVIRNOR, in answer to these several questions,
said, the amount of the issues of notes uas 2/000,0001.
six of which was appropriated to the Branch Banks. It
was not at all contemplated to allow the dividends to be
paid elsewhere than in London; this measure was put.
sued as one of security. A quarter per cent. was charged
upon the buying and selling of stock, and the notice
given to the Branch Bank of Leeds was general. The
amount of issues was the same as the stock in hand.
Mr. YOUNG at some length, objected to the mode of
distributing the funds; and after a conversation of some
duration, the question for the dividend of 4 per cent.
was carried, and the Court adjourned.

Naw SYSTIM Or PUNCTUATION.—AI a dinner table,
a short time ago, one of those non-descripts called a Dandy, was
seated at the top, and an honest plain-dealing farmer at the bottom.
During dinner time a great many affectedly polite speeches
were made by the beau, and a great many coarse ones by
the farmer. When cheese was introduced, the fop, in an
affected mincing tone, asked the company whether they would
take the cheese, and whether they preferred the piwe or impure /
On asking the farmer this question, the old man replied—" Hang
your pore or impure, give me some of the miuty I" " Sir," says the

very insolent speeches during dinner ; and, Sir, if I have any repe-

A CURE FOR LAM lIIESLAYLaaIItfaYt MARCH
A fellow Is as on Tuesday evening last limping from
one door to another in this town begging alms, and
seemingly so lame that he could scarcely drag his feet
along. Whilst pursuing his avocation, he was accosted
by a constable, who asked him where he was going. To
London, Sir, was the reply. You have been begging
in the streets, said the constable, and it is my duty to
apprehend you. The lame man was cured in an in-
stant, took to his heels. and ran off in a style that
would not have disgraced a first-rate pedestrian; the
cry of " stop him" was re-echoed from one to another,
nearly a hundred boys pursuing him. The lame man
was, however, too meet for them, having completely
distanced his pursuers, and left them all at fault.

Mr. ALRZANDIR BARING, M.P. has recently pur-
chaed the estate called Lump's Farm, adjacent to this
place, and is about to erect a Marine Villa. The spot
marked out for its erection is highly picturesque, and
commands extensive views of the far-famed Isle of
Wight, Spithead, and the surrounding country.—

COVENT GARDEN ORATORIO.

Last night there was an execellent selection, but far
too numerous to be particularized, We can only say,
that PASTA, and the other Ladies, sung a variety of
compositions in their best style. BRA HAY'S 14 Deeper
and deeper still" wac a most sublime effort ; and his
"In Ins splendour bright," was equally so. The duetto,
with Miss Lova, of " Love is like a summer flower,"
displayed this great master's talent in a different, but
nct less pleasing line—simplicity and tenderness:
nothing could be more harmonious than the blending
of the two voices in this MOTCealS—(Encored).
In the Second Part, Miss GRANT, Miss H. CAWS&
and Miss Lova, sung a Fairy Glee ; the words have been
adapted to Bisnop's exquisite trio in the Leto of Java,
called llfynheer Vandunck.
Mr. Vodr played a Fantasia on the oboe in very good
style, and the Band executed several Overtures with
great spirit and precision.
A portion of HA NDEL'S Acis and Galatea was well
performed. " The Flocks shall leave the Mountains" is
a fine specimen of dramatic composition ; while the in.
nocent lovers are exchanging vows of fidelity, the mon-
ster .Polyphemus is meditating their destruction, in a
series of most effective musical phrases, which render
his frightful threats conger than any language can'
utter them ; Mr. E. TAYLOR gave them with great force.
Da BEGIN'S did not arrive soon enough to sing in his
proper place, and ashen he appeared the audience
mat ked their displeasure strongly, and obliged him to
retire; but on BISHCP'S explaining that it originated in
a misapprehension of the time he was to sing, he was
loudly greeted, and encored in his song.

tone blaming, while the other praises, the policy parstted
by osr Ministers in suspending the embarkati on of the
remaining British 'troops at Lisbon.

We have jest perused the following letter from Car-
thagena, to a respectable commercial house in the City,
dated Jan. 27:

“ I assure you that I regret much the time i am
wasting in this wretched country ; things look worse
and worse every day, and I think that the period is not
far distant when there sill be a general revolt. The
opposed party to Bolivar is •ery strong, as appears by
the elections which took place at Bogota, Popayne,and
in this province ; for I believe not a single one of his
friends has been returned in either of these three pro.
vinces. The Grand Convention is appointed for the
2d March, to be held in Ocana ; we shall then see
whether Bolivar will prove himself another Bonaparte.
This is a crisis looked forward to by many with
great anxiety. In Peru they are making great pre-
parations for war, collecting all their forces to march
against this country. Two thousand mcn have passed
the frontiers already. 1 have not the least doubt this is
au intrigue of Santander's party. The prospeot cer-
tainly leoks alarming, and nothing but the interference
of England will be able to save us from total ruin. The
troops in this garrison are perfectly quiet. They ate
rationed by contract ;as to pay, they have none. The
extreme misery throughout the country is beyond all
description.”

We received this morning the Algemeine Zeitung to
the 21st inst. It is stated from Vienna that neither the
Mail of the 11th, nor that of the 25th Feb. due from
Constantinople, had arrived in that capital on the 15th
inst. The cause of this stoppage' of the intercourse is
supposed to be the accumulation of ice in the Danube.

STAG HUNT.

Tuesday last the Hon. Graotleyßeiteley's Stag Hounds, at-
tended by a most numerous field, among whom were Lords Car-
marthen, Belfast, E. Chichester, Sir Francis Burdett, and many
others of the Nobility and Gentry, met at Uxbridge Common,
where a fine deer was enlarged for the day's amusement.—The
deer took from Ickenham across the fine grass country for Harrow,
but turning to the right she stretched for Down Barnes. Yeading,
and Hayes, across the Uxbridge road to Southall, Heston, and
Sutton, leaving Hounslow Barracks on the left she ran for Bedlont ;
but being headed she came back for Harlington, Cranford Park,
and Hayes; then turning to the left she passed Dawky Wall,
Hillingdon, Cowley, and Drayton, till she came to Riching's
lodge, near Colnbrook ; here the pack came to a check for some
time, but hitting en the scent again they ran her to Black Park,
where she jumped up in view from a small patch of gorse, and,
after a very sharp burst, was killed at Iver. The run lasted five
hours, and the exteht of country crossed was immense, not more
than twenty horsemen, besides the Mr. Berkeley. and the Whipper-
in, were in at the death.

BUCHAREST, Bilmtci i.

The assurance which our Hospodar has received from
Constantinople, that the Potte will in no case send any
troops into the Principalities, has given much satisfac-
tion here; because it is hoped that the Russians will be
thereby deprived of every pretext, and that an advance.
of their army into our country would be a real aggres-
sion; at least, a great portion of the Boyards entertain
this notion, and praise the policy of the Divan.

GENEVA, 111Aacu 14.

According to the private letters which have been re-
ceived here from Greece, the greatest grief and con-
sternation prevails there, in consequence of Ibrabim's
having sent thousands of young girls and women from
the Morea to Egypt, as slaves, without even a word
from the Allied Admirals, or a signal from their ships,
to hinder him. Yet the intention of the Turks to exe-
cute this cruel purpose could not be unknown, because
it had been long before the subject of loud lamentations
through the whole Peloponnesus and in the Islands.
The Greeks, therefore, believe that the instructions of
the Admirals have been changed since the battle of
Navarin, so that they cannot now oppose such enorrni-
ties.--Algerneine Zeitting, March 20.

PRIVATE LETTER FROM MEXICO.

--ow--
MEXICO, JULY SI.

Things are still going on well in Veta Grande—
making icily bars at silver per week. Mexico is very
dull at present: little business, and no great confidence
amongst the merchants. The three candidates for the
Presidency are Guanazao, Goua PUMAS°, and
ESTEVA. The first was a General in the independent
service, a complete Indian, and formerly a Muleteer.
This man, however, has the greatest party; and unless
some change takes place amongst the different political
parties here before the election comes on, he has a good
chance to be President. Gomez PI.DIAZO is at present
Minister of War—a clever fellow, and of a firm and
decided character. EMMA is Minister of the Excise-
tiger—clever, but better as such than as President: he
was originally a chocolate-maker in Vera Cruz. In all
revolutions one may expect to see strange changes. I
hope PCDRAZO may be made President, as it is Vey
important that we should have a man of some energy at
the head of affairs in the present times. Until the elec.
tions are over we shall not feel settled.

Ibrahim is in person at Patras, where he went to pro.
cure provisions. He has been abandoned by the Alba-
nians, who not receiving their pay, quitted Paves, after
having massacred 200 or 300 Turks Nuvarin and Ma
don are on the eve of being evacuated. Coroo alone
seems disposed to support a age; but as it is only de-
fended by 600 or SOO men, bow could it possibly hold
out against our artillery by land and too ? We therefore
expect to have boon settled the business with this little
place, fortified in the Venetian style, and deprived of
all possibility of relief. It appears that our division of
theosperstion will afterwards move, againsi Patras, in
which 3,000 men have shut up themselves, and we bait,
to avenge the insult offered to the' French flag a fort-
islet since.

greatest straits; but they will hold out through Tana.

go after reducing Patras. He has net mere than 4,000
or 3,000 men with him. Cnnnt Capo d'lstria is at EgiO4,
but we understand that be will join General Mahon in
about a week. A sanitary superintendence has beeo
organised for the army of the expedition. Orden have
been given to hold no communication with any Greek.
This precaution is wise, but useless, for there is no
disorder prevailing in the country. Colonel. Trezel
is the President of the Board of Superintendence.—
Mr. Roux, first physician, and Mr. Kianec, first surgeon,
are its chief members. The soldiers enjoy excellent
health ; none of them were ill during the voyage. It is
hoped that the country will supply us -with oxen, but
fodder may be wanting at first. The best spirit animat s
this little army. Our soldiers, who bad been told that
they would see nothing but rocks, have been agreeably
surprised, in finding a magnificent vegetation. If arms
were not wanting for culfivation, nothing could cans-,
pare with the fertility of the soil. The cottages of the
unfortunate peasants, who came to meet us wi h fiuits,
sad armed from bead to fOO4 are generally surtobraded
by cotton trees.—Gaselle de Hasse&
