THE STRANGER BRIDE.

Why walk I by the lonely strand?
He comes not with the tide,
His home is in a distant land,
The stranger is his bride;
The stranger on whose lofty brow
vb, circling diamonds shine,
.

growths love *bade earliest vow
And pledge of hope were mine !
They tell me that my Cheek is pale,
That youth's gay smile is gone,
That berrlitg thus the ocean gale,
• • oird my heart to stone ;
And friendship asks what secret care
There is to work me woe ?
But vainly seeks a grief to share,
Which none shall ever know !
Ye waves that beard the false one swear,
But saw hint not return,
Yell not betray me if a tear
Should start in spite of scorn;
Yet no, a wounded spirit's pride,
. Though passion's pangs are deep,
Shall dash the trait'rous drop aside
1:-, From byes that must not weep !
vain, abs I I have nd pbwer
To quit this lonely strand,
From whence at the wild parting hour,
I saw him leave the land;
Though he has ta'en a stranger bride,
My love cannot depart,
.Its seal--too strong for woman's pride !
Will be a broken heart !

MR. KEAN.

DISTURBANCE AT THE BALTIMORE THEATRE.
BALTIMORE THEATRE, JUNE B.—Mr. Kean played
Richard last night before a very full house. On hi%
first appearance he was greeted with three rounds of
applause, which he acknowledged with apparently
grateful salutations ; but before he had time to utter a
word, several persons commenced hiising, and beating
the doors with their sticks. A twist of tobacco was
thrown, which struck Mr. Kean on the leg. This was
respocded to by a general cry of " Turn 'em out—
bravo, Kean—go on, &c. Upon this two placards were
suspended from the boxes, one of which was painted
in large letters d 4 The friends of Kean will be silent r
on the other, 41 Kean for ever." Two or three of the
disturbers were piiust out of the house. The opposition
then seemed to decline,• as there appeared " a most
fearful odds against them.° A decided majority were
either neutrals, or friends to Kean, and wished to see
thc_play, or were determined to.put down all opposi.
tiOn. Accordingly the neutrals were silent, and some
young men,. warm friends of Kean, took it upon them-
selees" to rid the house of all opponents—in the execu-
tion orwhich, there were a goodly number of set-to's.
The noise within, the windows being open on account
of the heat, was heard at a considerable distance. This
collected together a large assemblage of spectators in
front of the theatre; and when the master spirits within
began. to " ttitn them out," some disaffected in the
Street began to pelt the windows with stones ; but be-
fore two dozen panes of glass were broken, the Mayor
arrived with the watchmen and. bailiffs, and all was
quiet without. By this prompt performance of his duty,
the Mayor probably sa7ed the property of private citi-
zens from injury, but ever and anon the house was
interrupted with rows in the upper lobby, which was
" very annoying" to Mr. Kean, and that part of the
audience who desired to witness the performance of
Richard the Third. For our raft we say, let those who
like' Mr. Kean as an. actor (and we have heard no one
approve his private conduct),
,go to see him if they
ple4se—those who do not, stay away. To give him
empty boxes is the greatest punishment that can be
inflicted.

The remains of the Earl of CHICHESTER were inter-
red at the family vault at Laughton on Wednesday. The proem.
sion was rather private, although followed by several of the tenantry,
who met the cavalcade on its way from London to the place of in-
terment, through Uckfield, &c.
WLNCHESTER, JULY 15.—Wheat harvest has corn-
snenced at Drayton, and ip several other parts of the county. It
will commence generally in the neighbourhood of Salisbury the
beginning of next week. Mr. Rawuus, of Box, in that county,
reaped a field of wheat on the 7th inst.
A magnificent fountain of pure Devonshire marble,
from the quarries of the Bight lion. the Earl of Mosier, neat
the Flying Bridge, has just been completed by Mr. SHIMHZAND,
stone mason, Plymouth. It is intended for the Garde., of the
Fonperor of 13aartr., at Rio de Janeiro, and is altogether one of
the largest and most beautiful fountains ever seen in this kingdom.
Its:main basin, which is of black marble, is supported by white
pillars of the Corinthian order, partially worked, which at ,dis-
tance gives it theappeafance of a Grecian temple, and the contrast
of colour has a chaste and beautiful 'effect. The weight of the
wholeis 18 ions, and it stands 25 feet from the ground.
WESTMINSTER HALL.--.Tile temporary C hurts in
We tatinstes Hall, namely, for the Court of Exchequer
and Exchequer Chamber, the sites of the former Courts
ofiCifigs Bench and Chancery, fronting and blocking

The_bitge, window at the end of the Hall opposite to its

singular and ornamented effigies of Kings in the niches
on, each • ide of the window, and which used to surmount
the benches of the Judges, are again exposed tit general
obaervatiott; at least asimany and as much of the effi-
gies. as remain, far some of the, niches are altogether
without occupants, while others have only headless
ornaments in them.

A very worthy, though not particularly erudite under-
writer at Lloyd's, was conversing one day with a friend
in the Coffee-house on the subject of a ship they bad
mutually insured. His friend observed, "Do you know
that I shrewdly suspect our ship is in jeoparel.9" " The
D-4 sbe is," replied he; " well, I'm glad did she's get
into soV4, port alma?'
