Wily I DISLIKE WALTZING.

WILITTCI4 ♦T Till 112%211E1T OF TWO TOON° LADIES,

Because, I worship that refined
And chaste virginity of mind
That, from the loose and vulgar stare,
Still hides its treasures rich and rare
That, unobtrusive, sweep, and shy—
With a world's sanction in its eye,
Yet flies fturn the promiscuous touch,
And, like Mimosa, shrink as much.

Because, since Nature's self is frail,
Thy purest modesty may fall;
And quench, in pleasure's thrilling
Its beautiful and frosty blase.
Because, the maid who sees no danger
In mixing bands with every stranger,
Nnr shuns to blend, with him or him,
Her floating shape and twirling limb,
May all too easily forget
What laws restrain—what snares beset.
Because, the web of chastest woof
Is not contamination proof:
And—spits of all the world beeides—
I'd have maids, vestals--'till they're brides!

The St. Petcrantrgh GRzette of the 22 I ult. contains
some particulars relative to the trade of Tagan•oc, in the Black Sea,
which are by no means unitttere.tiog„ In 18'26. the •alue of int
port goods amounted to 4,392.804 roubles, and that of exports to
4,746.404 roubles. In the following year, the loonier were e.ti-
mated at 6,063,20 rouble., and the %Atter at 7,067,700; that
the imports of 1827 exceeded those of the preceding year by 271,049
roubles, and the exports by 2 321,296. 1• appears front this that
the importance of trade at Tagattruc has increased proportionably
with that of Odessa, and that thr free passage of the Bosphoru4
becomes every year a matter of greater interest to the liubian

Government.

A numerous Meeting of Butchers was held yester-
day afternoon at the F.eemasons' Tavern, to coosid t
of the Report of a Committee appointed at a former
Meeting na th.e Trade, on the et of the proposed
erection of Abattoirs or Public SlAughtei-hou-es in the
vicinity of the Me topolis. Mr .GtaLrrr, of Bond
$ reet, took she , Chair, and the Report was read ; i
stated that the nuisances now complained of might be
remedied by the enlatigement of Smithfield, a measuie
which the LORD MAYOR had expressed hi, concurrent'
in adopting and recommending. The Committee had
conanunitated with Mr. Peat., on the subject• of the
proposed Abattoirs, and the Right Honourable Gentle
man had replied, through his Private Secretary, that
the measures alluded to had not come under his cog-
nizance, and stat .d that when they should, he would
communicate with this Committee; before he gave any
sanctio., to them.. A sexier of Resolutions e ere then
proposed and adopted, having for !twit _
a decla ation that the enlargement cf Sink hti ld-mat ket
was absolutely necessary, for the prevention .1 the nut..
sances complained of, and would have the effect of
Abating them; and the next, that the present Market
day should be changed from Friday to Thursday, which
would have the effect of equalizing the supply at the
two Markets in the week. On this 114 Resolution an
•mendment was proposed, to substitute Tuesday for
Monday, which would have the same effect as the
other substitution ; and. besides, prevent bleaches of the
Sabbath. The amendment could not get a seconder,
and the original motion was carried.
