In soft lowing numbers and lines panegyrick,
My Muse bath no skill, but she loves the satirick.
She gambols so wild, and delights to be straying,
Meu's follies to laugh at, their vices betraying ;
And even in woman, she sex:dimes discloses,
Those flirts and those airs, where folly reposes.
The prude and the coquette, alike she enjoys,
And stiff fustian lasses, she often annoys.
So much for my Muse—and now for my fair one,
Whose mind I have sought in, and vices there are none ;
And a* W her follies, nbt one I discover,
Unle.lti it be that, of showieg her lovcr !
But e'en here I may err, for I write quite at random,'
And the maxim in taste it, non est disputandurn !!!
CAIUS.

Sunday evening, as a lady was passing along the
'North Bridge, she was attacked by a man, who***
immediately joined by another, and after haring
treated her very rudely, she effected her escape forte
them. On getting home, she discovered that she had
lost her pocket, containing a shawl and a pocket,
book, with a five pound note in it. To her great la.
prize, however, her pooket was afterwards sent to her
house as a parcel, with her proper directi wiultat
any part of the contents being abstracted.
Last Tuesday night a man, apparently a medazile,
tame down the chimney of a horse in the Catrungatel
while the family were in bed. The servant, sslio hap.
pened to be awake, gave the alarm, when ti.e intros
of the house, coaling up to the intruder, and demand,
ing his lousiness there, was instantly knocked km%
Before he recovered from the effects of the blow, the
thief laid hold a silver watch tlrat was on the table,
and immediately retired the same way he came.
Wednesday night last, as a Gentleman was
down Leith Walk, at a late hour, he was, what
;Ibl:rut half--way betwixt Edinburgh and Leith, knocked
down and tabbed of his watch, by a person yet tub,
known.

GRAND MUSICAL PERFORMANCES iff

NORWICH.

The-first was on Friday evening, at St. Andrew's
C!iurch, and consisted of a selection from the Works
of Handel. The church was not full, but elegantly
attended ; the scaffolding well contrived, and the ar-
rangements brilliant and pleasing to the eye.—The
first air was " Pious Orgies," by Miss BOOTH, a young
lady, daughter to Mr. Booru, bookseller at Norwich,
a pupil of Miss PARK!. Her voice is weak, but her
taste excellent ; and when her voice is strengthened
by practice, she will be a very sweet singer. Her best
songs were, " He shall feed his flock," arid " LORD
what is Man !". which she gave with much feeling,
and in good style.
Mr. PHILLIPS'S (of the Lyceum) songs were, the
opening of The lifeniah—" He was despised and re-
jected of Men,"—which he transposed to form a tenor
and gave with great pathos and effect ; also, " Let
the bright Seraphim," which has been always appro-
priated to a soprano voice, was given by him with fine
effect, and was very well accompanied on the trumpet
by Mr. QUELCH, a young professor. A Mr. CLOUT-
ING, a provincial professor, possessing a very good
voice between tenor and base, and a considerable
knowledge of music, -was very effective in " Arm,
arm, ye brave !"—The choruses were admirably sus-
tained by the choir of the Cathedral and the amateur
glee-singers of Norwich, most of whom are excellent.
They understand the style of HANDEL, and indeed
both band and singers gave the highest. possible effect'
to " For unto us—Hallelujah !—Sing unto GOD.
Hailstone Chorus—and The Horse and his Rider."
The recitative and solos of the last, by Miss BOOTH
and Mr. PHILLIPS, were given in the finest style.—
The whole was under the direction of Mr. FISH, and
did him great credit.
Saturday morning there was a grand Miscella-
neous Selection at the Theatre, which was crowded
to excess ; the stage was fitted up like Covent-
Garden Theatre on similar occasions ; great part
of the Pit was included, on account of the number of
performers, which exceeded one hundred.
The band was led by Mr. FISH, and was most ably
assisted by Mr. BECKWITH, son of late Dr. Beeic-
WITH. Miss Cosam, a young lady who appeared to
be not more than 7 or 8 years old, performed on the
harp with such taste and execution, that if her talents
ripen with her years, she will prove a professor of the
first rank. She is a pupil of Mr. Fist' s. Mr. CARD
performed with great taste on the flute ; and Mr. PE-
TIT, we believe a pupil of Mr. Outsize's, played a
concerto on the piano forte that was much admired.

Wednesday evening, between 7 and 9 o'clock, a
house, on the Coa Leith, was by ice *lmo, and
robbed of fel 9in cash. The thieves cent over the
roofs of different houses, and entered the house br a
window three pair of stairs high : diligent se.ircli
now making for their apprehension.
John At Farlaow, who was :me time ago indicted
to stand trial before the High Court of Just:ciAry,
uttering base coin, and who escaped from pupil:rent
in consequence of an irrelevancy in the ind.cuner‘
has again been apprehended ou a similar &age, and
committed to jail in-England.
Tuesday evening, about a quarter past nine o'clocl,
a Gentleman w.O knocked down with a cu,:gei by
three villains, near the Calton Mouth, Glasgi.w, and
robbed of fifteen shillings, a letter, and silk liandker.
chief. One of the fellows was a soldier.

Thursday night, about eleven o'clock, a fire brciat
out in a liluse at the head of use West Port, which
was got under without doing any material damage.
A few days ago, as three gentlemen were coming
ashore from a vessel in the Dry Dock, Leith, akng a
plank, a rope, reaching from the vessel to the su•ne,
serving for a rail, on leaning too much to •xhich they
lost their balance, and fell to the bottom of the dqcki
by which accident, one of the gentlemen was so mues
bruised that he died the next day. The otter two re.
ceived no material injury.

--- •
A few days ago :+s Mr. James Adam% of Norwich,
and Mr. James Broad, of Drur.y.lane, we:e retum;r.:
to the former place in a chaise, through the villageof
Thorpe, their horse having taken fright, ran the wheel
of the chaise against a pose, and they were biith
thrown out of the chaise with great violence : Mr.
Broad at the time had a severe attack of the gout,
but the shock being so sudden the gout immediately
left him. Mr. Broad afterw.trds walked to Nor% ich,
a distance of three miles, without the le.tst ineunve.
nience, excepting a few brui,,es, nor has he had the
least symptom of the gout since.

The Concert commenced with the Grand Overture
from Henry the IVth. Miss limey sung, "With
verdure clad," from Haydn, " Hush, ye pretty war-
bling choir," from Handel, and " Che dice," from
II rant:lice per la Musica, with much taste and sweet-
ness. Mr. PHILLIPS was in finevoice, and sang, with the
happiest effect, 46 Slow broke the light," 64 Said a
smile to a tear," and " the Death of Abercrombie,"
which was encored with enthusiasm. His duetts with
Miss BOOTH, " Farewell, sweet maid, farewell," and
64 Dear maid, by every hope of bliss," by BISUOP,
displayed all that taste, science, and feeling, this
Gentleman's singing is so much admired for.—
There never was a musical entertainment in that en-
lightened and musical city which gave more general
satisfaction.

was sentenced to be imprisoned six months, and to be
publicly whipped through the town on a market day.
NATIONAL IstPaovraeNTs.—The three existing
bridges over the Thames at London present a feature
that no other capital offers. Acts of Parliament have
been passed for the erection of two more, and notice
is given of application for another, which will, if agreed
;o, make no less than six bridges in the Metropolis,
over the metropolitan river ; besides, various-applica-
tions are to be made to add to the present number of
docks and canals : so that, speaking hyperbolically,
