VERSES TO THE MISSES L-.
BY THOMAS CAMPBELL, ESQ.

Adieu, Romance's heroines:
Give me the nymphs, who this good hour
Nay charm me, not in Fiction's scenes,
But teach me Beauty's firing pow'r s
Hy harp, that has been mute too long,
Shall sleep at Beauty's name no more, _
So but your sr Iles reward my song,
JEMIMA, Rost:, and EcraNcuz—

In whose benign•snt eyes are bc4mit:g
The rays of purity and truth;
Such as we fancy woman's seemilig,
In the Creatim's golden youth:
The more I look upon thy grac
Hosts". I could look the mon:,
But for Jl3ll3f,l'S witching face,
And the sweet voice of ELEANO3!.'

Had I been LAIWRENCF., Kings had wanted
Their portrait,s, till I'd painted your's ;
And these had future hearts enchanted,
When this poor verse no more endures :
I would have left the Congress faces,
A. dull.ey'd Diplomatic Corps,
Ttll I had group'd `SOU as the Graces...-.
, Rosa, and Ectasoac !

Th-t Cable bids fair Saints befriend him ;
Your Poet's heart is Cath'lic too—
ILs rosary shall be flow'rs ye send him;
!Lis saint-days when he visits yes,
And my sere laurels for my duty.
Miraculous at your touch would rise,
Co-ld I give verse one trait of beauty,
Like that which glads me from your eyes!
Unseal'd by you, these lips have spoken,
Ihsus'd to song for many a day ;
Yc've tun'd a harp whose strings were broken,
And warm'd a heart of callous clay !
So, when my fancy next refuses
To twine for you a garland more,
Come back again and be my Muses,
Juana, Ross, and ELEANORE!

A man having partaken too freely of a "et wee tass
o'brandy," was accused of his neighbour of being in-
tocicated. " No," replied the humourist, "I am not
drunk—but powerfilly refreshed!"
A considerable reduction has taken place in the
prices of Chocolate and Cocoa, in consequence of the
Duty being lowered, agreeably to the late Act of
Parliament.

Tickets for Lon, 1174roa's DAY!—Those who have
received a Ticket for the Civic festivities, are also in-
vited to select one for Fortune's feast. The Lottery
draws on that day, and a £20,000 Prize in the morn-
iug must be allowed to be a famous sharpener of the
appetite for the Guildhall dinner. The Scheme con-
tains Eight of £20,000, Two of which are sure to be
drawn in the first Five Minutes.—Principal Caterer,
Roil, who is Purveyor of Prizes extraordinary, at 4,
Cornhill, and 9, Charing-cross.
HAZARD and Co.'s sales continue to increase daily,
which proves the preference given to their Old Este-
b:F:Ament, and the popularity of the present 'united
Schemes, containing Eight Twenty Thousands.—
Neat Tuesday the two First-drawn Prizes will be
entitled to ;£20,000 each (Money and Consols) ; ar.d
it will be recollected, HAZARD and Co. Sold AU the
First-drawn Capital Prizes in a former Lottery.--
The whole of the 5,000 Tickets now on Sale will be
Drawn Next Tuesday, and from present appearances
there will not be sufficient to meet the public de-
mand. HAZARD and Co. respectfully solicit a con.
trimance of that patronage they have experienced
for 100 years, at. their Office, Royal Exchange-gate :
their other Offices, 26, Cornhill, and 324, Oxford-
street, corner of Swallow-street.
COVENT-GARDEN Tuzarne.—Mr. C. KessaLE, af-
ter a short retirement, returned to the performance
of his duties, last night, in llamkt. His reception
was so favourable, as to afford flattering evidence of
the public estimation of his talents. Ire sustained the
arduous character throughout with great force and
cii,crimination, and was frequently interrupted with
the rapturous pla'idits of an admiring audience. The
novelty of the evening, however, was Miss Tares
litAdia, which proved completely successful: she
not only sung the wild melancholy strains of the
lovely maniac with enchanting sweetness, but acted
remarkably well: she was highly and deservedly ap-
i.i.vtded. The other characters were well acted.—
.., a House was respectably attended.
WaaNixo.—Last week an Inquest was taken at
Na;:ghton-Beauchamp, Worcestershire, on view of
the body of Mr. CA:.Low :10111US, discovered early
ter Monday se:might lying nudes a large pear tree, in
cue of his own fields, his clothca nearly consumed by
iire, and the body much burnt ; his hat torn, one
shoe off, the nails of which were forced out, and the
buttons of his remaining clothes all turn off. The
bask of the tree, being stripped from top to bottom,
left no doubt that the deceased, after being at church
on Sunday, had gone into his field, and about half-past
one, a severe thunder-storm coming on, he took shel-
ter under the tree, which was struck by the electric
fluid, and his death was thereby caused. Verdict--
Killed by 141.tning.—Tbe above is another melan-
choly instance of the imprudence of taking shelter
under a tree in a thunder-storm.
