WRAY CASTLg, WINDERMERE.

[The Castle described with so much simplicity and poetical feeling
in the following lines, was built by Mr. Dawson, formerly a
highly-respected surgeon, residing in this town. The lines derive
additional interest from the fact that they are the production of a
humble boatman, who plies his slender bark with pleasure parties
on Lake Windermere, and who' thus evinces his taste for the
beautiful and romantic, and his high admiration of the character
of the builder of Wray Castle

(For the Liverpool Standard.)
'Midst woods and waters all sublime,
'Midst hills that mock the wreck of time,
'Midst verdant fields and flowery plains.
Where nature deck'd in beauty reigns;
Amid thy splendours, Windermere,
A castle doth its turrets rear.
Its shadow o'er the lake it throws,
Which at its feet in beauty flows;
Where, with transparent lustre clear,
As in a glass, each object near
In sweet reflection there is seen—
Mountain, wood, and valley green.
This castle, built in gothic style.
Is viewed as some famed ancient pile,
By strangers who delight to trace
The origin of every place,
Which points. the retrospective eye
To times and ages long gone by.
It seems to speak of deeds of fame,
Recording many a noble's name,
Who, boldly on by valour led,
Has near its portals fought and bled,
Or, fetter-bound, consigned to dwell
Amidst the horrors of the cell.
Thoughts such as these associate
With castles of an , ncient date;
But this fair building now in sight
Knows nothing of rmed knight;
No frightful dungeo eep and cold;
tlpi
No blood-stained wai You there behold;
No mouldering ashes round it sleep
Of those whom tyrants caused to weep;
No fleeting spectres haunt its towers.
No sounds disturb its midnight hours;
No deeds of darkness, black and fell,
No tales of blood it has to tell.
Though at a dista-ce it appears
As having braved the wreck of years,
The Commonwealth to have defied,
And mock'd the power of Cromwell's pride;
Yet if you take a nearer view,
You find the structure wholly new.
And doth it less deserve your praise,
Because it cannot boast of days
When tyrants gloried in their ,uilt,
When human blood was reckless spilt
.... .

HT berm aenaeein•e cruel hand,
And justice slumbered in the land?
This castle rose in days of peace :
Knowledge had bid oppression cease;
The star of liberty and light
Had chased away the gloomy night,
And superstition, awe, and dread
Before the light of truth had fled.
Its boast may be of days more bright,
Of days of peace and Gospel light;
Boast of its owner's name and worth,
That noble mind who gave it birth—
'Tis DAwsoN's kindness, friendship, love,
That stately mansion stands to prove.
And may he live, anu long enjoy,
In health and peace without alloy,
His castle ! May it be a home
From which he has no wish to roam,
Till to a mansion in the skies,
Prepared, his GOD shall bid him rise!
Anibleside. JAMES GIBSON.

THE ARMY.—Four hundred men belonging to the 56th
Regiment of Foot arrived here, in the Dee steamer, from
Dublin, on Saturday night, and have proceeded to Bolton,
Burnley, and the surrounding district. Another draft of
the same regiment will arrive from Dublin in the course
of the present week, and will proceed to Bury and that
neighbourhood.
COURSING.—The Tarleton Meeting will take place cn

Champion Meeting commences on Wednesday, the 18th
inst. Excellent sport is anticipated, as some first-rate
dogs are entered. New Coursing Club Lancashire.—lt
is contemplated to form a club at Hornby. The ground
is well adapted for the sport, and the bares are remark-
ably stout.
DEATH FROM INTOXICATION.—A man named James
Ward, a labourer, who lived in Bixteth street, went on
Saturday on board of a vessel in one of the docks, where
it is supposed he drank a great quantity of rum. He'
was taken home in a helpless state of intoxication, and
although the stomach pump was applied he died soon
afterwards. We have heard that had the deceased lived
until March next he would have come into possession
of a handsome amount, but we do not vouch for the fact.
The inquest will be held this day.
FINES FOR ILLEGAL EXHIBITIONS.—At the police-
court yesterday, Homer Holden, who keeps a beer-house
in White-chapel, corner of Leigh-street, was brought
before Mr. Rushton, by information, for keeping his
rooms open for a show of picture., stuffed monstrosities,
animal and wax, &a., without permission of the Mayor.
It appeared that in July last the defendant had received
a notice from the late Mayor, Mr. Sands, that he was not
to play music, exhibit pictures or fantastic figures out-
side, or otherwise to collect crowds to the interruption-of
the thoroughfare Mr. Rushton fined the defendant £2O,
and ordered the same to be strictly levied.—A man named
Powell, in, we believe, Waterloo-road, was fined in the
same amount. .

INQUESTS BEFORE MR. CURRY.--Yesterday, on
view of the body of William Smith, aged 59. The de-
ceased resided at No. 30, Willianison-street. On Satur-
day afternoon his wife went out, leaving deceased in the
house, apparently quite well. She returned in about half
an hour and found him on the floor, insensible, and, as
she thought, in a fit. A surgeon was sent for, but the
deceased died before he arrived. On a post modem exa-
mination it was found that death was caused by apoplexy
of the lungs. Verdict accordingly—" From natural
causes."—On the body of James Handlin, aged 32, a la-
bourer, who resided in Chisenhale-street. On Saturday
night deceased was found drunk in the street by a con-
stable, and was taken home and put to bed. About
three-quarters-of-an-hour after, his wife found him on
the floor quite dead. The verdict given was—" Died of
apoplexy, caused by excessive drinking."—On the body
of Thomas Carson, a child, one month old. The mother,
who lives in Pellew-street, finding him cross and sleepless,
gave him, on Saturday, four drops of laudanum. In a
quarter of an hour afterwards he was seized with fits, and
continued to have them occasionally until midnight of the
same day, when he died. Mr. Burrows, surgeon, who
was called in, but could not get him to rally, stated that
four drops were too much for an infant of that age, and
that death was caused by the narcotic. Verdict,—
" Chance medley against the mother."—The; last was on
the body of Ellen Cosgrove, aged five years. Deceased,
who lived with her parents in Woodstock-street, had, on
Saturday, gone into a neighbour's house, where her
clothes took fire, and she was so much burned that she
died on the following morning. Verdict—" Accidental."
—On Saturday two inquests were held. The first on the
body of Thomas Crosby, a lad fifteen years of age, who
was walking along Oldhall-street, about six o'clock on the
evening of Wednesday week last, and accidentally fell into
a large opening which had been made for the purpose of
repairing one of the gas pipes. He was taken up, in an
insensible state, end removed to the Northern Hospital,
where it was 'discovered that he had received a compound
fracture of the skull and a wound on the abdomen, of
which injuries he died. The other was on an infant,
scalded to death by a quantity of hot tea falling on it.
DAY'S WINDGUARD.—NO greater proof of the utility
of this invention need be given than the fact that 700 have
been supplied by the agent, Mr. W. Bennett, within the
last year, all of which, we learn, have given general satis-
faction.

FRUIT.—The most extensive sues of fruit that have
been advertised during the present season, take place
this-day, by Mr. Badenach, at the Commercial-rooms.
These importations comprise some thousands of boxes of
the finest dried figs, currants, and raisins.

quired to entitle such Cellars to be used as separate
Dwelling-places, have sustained serious loss and inconve-
nience, the COMMISSIONERS therefore, to prevent
similar loss and inconvenience to other parties, HEREBY.
CAUTION all Persons, Owners of PL•operty within the,
Town, intending to convert the Cellars of their Houses
into separate-Dwelling-places, and for that purpose to en-
croach on the Footways of the Streets, to abstain from

application to the said Commissioners, whether permis-
sion can be granted to take from the street the width of
Area required by the provisions of the said act.
