BURNS'S MONUMENT AT AYR.

-

The monument, which has new been erected at Ayr; fo
perpetuate the memory of Robert Barns, in form may be
described as a replication of the Athenian monument of
Lysicretes, which we believe the architect selected as his
model. It bears a considerable resembrence also to the
beautiful little temple attached to the Church Ban Pietro in
Mantorio, at Rome. The edifice consists of a triangular
basement (representative of the three great divisions of
Ayrshire, Kyle, Carrick, and Cunningliame), upon which
rises a circular perist)le supporting a cupola. The pillars
which are nine in number, and entablature, are of the Co-
rinthian Order. Tney are designed, we believe, from the
three remaining columns of the Comilium (smastimes erro-
neously called the temple of Jupiter Stetor) in the Forum
at Rome, and executed in the chastest manner ; certain or•
naments of truly Grecian elegance surmount the cupola and
serve as a pedestal to the tripod. The interior of the base-
ment of the monument gives a circular chamber 10 feet is
height and of a correioonding diameter. From this Cham-
ber, which is of the Doric Order, a flight of stairs conducts
to the gallery above. The whole edifice is conceived and
executed in a style purely classical.
The following is Oil.: inscription placed on the tripod:—
The First Stone of this Monument
Erected by Public Subscription,
• In honour of the Genius of
ROBERT BURNS,
Was laid by
The late Sir Alexander Boswell, of Auchiniee, Bart.
(Under whose exertions principally, the Subscription was
commenced and carried through)
Ou the 25th day, of January, MO;
AND
On the 4th of July, 1523,
This structure being oh:illy completed,
THIS TRIPOD
Was fixed upon its summit,
In presence of a numerous essemblage
Of Freemasons and Subscribers,
Headed and addressed on the occasion by Win. Fullerton,
Esq. of Skeldon.
Thomas ila uilton, jun. Architect.
John Counel, jun. Builder and Contractor.
The situation of the building is extremely well chosen.—
It is in the centre of those scenes which the poet has so
often described—and if formerly the spot itself excited re-
collections of the most pleasing kind iu the minds of the
bard's admirers, how much .more i iterestiog—how muck
more intense—must be the local nssociation of feelings now
called up, when, in addition to that classic ground, we n ,w
contemplate the proud pile which has been raised to perpe-
tuate the memory of Robert Burns.
As there is a deficiency of funds to inclose the monument
a subscriptioi has been opened for that purpose, which it
is hoped will be supported by liberal contributions, in or-
der to preserve an edifice which has been so tastefully exe-
cuted, and which will be an ornament to the count).

for this reason that ATKINSON'S CURLING FLUID. or

It requires only to be used' enoe to supersede the use of
every other invention of the kind. It wonderfully Improves
the growth of the Hair, and in dressing makes it beautifully
soft and glossy; and by Its great nutritive qualities gives
it such strength and elasticity, that it retains its curl dertag

SPAIN.

zrraaret OP 'A LETTER FROM CADIZ, DATED JUN g 26.
The blockade by a French 74 (the Colossi.) and tan
frigates continues, and yesterday they prevented two
Swedish ships from entenng, and detained also an En-
glish three.rnasted ship, which is still detained by the
said French ships. The name of the English ves4l and
her proceeding is not yet knoll n.
Small craft are going in :Ind out, as the French ships
show little experience in blockading harbours; so far
that, two days ago, two Spanish merchantmen (one
from Vera Crux, very rich—the other from Cuba) after
being chased in all direction., by skilful manoeuvres
safely entered the bay; and this day another Spanish
costella has also safely entered. Ily the.first easterly
wind a great deal of provisions is expected from Gi-
braltar, in coasting boats, and great profits will be de.
rived from such speculations. The other day skot,..-.A
also in sight of the French, who had steered too much
to the eastward, a convoy of about 6f.y craft, bringing
part of the division of Lopez Banos.
The Spanish navy iniclored in the bay consist of the
Asia, 64, one frigate, two corvettes, and two brigs; but
they are all short of crews. However, the Deputy at
Cortes, Don Cayetano Valdes, having been appointed
Admiral, and being known as a brave and active man, it
is expected he will remove all obstacles, and enable the
said ships to act against the enemy.
Since yesterday the French have extended their line as
far as Poet Royal, and sent to reconnoitre the Point of
Trocadero, but the battery has checked them, the o is
Minister of War having ordered the fire in persoi.
Webelieve they will not occupy the left shore of our
place, and that we shall remain in free communication
with tiibraltar, Malaga, &c,
Respecting the number of French 9n the opposite
cost, the reports are very uncertain; the whole oil' not
exceed 9,000 men, amongst which there are a good deal
of cavalry. Part of this are mostly fireman soldiers, who
were formerly in the English service, slid many of them
have spoken in English with an Englishman, who, by a
detour, was enabled to come over hese.
It is reported that, in the course of this week a good
'part of the numerous troops assembled it San Fernando
and het. (who wily be calculated at 12,0011 men, militia
included) will undertake au excursion under the mono
id
of Riego.

TH EATR I CA LS.

ENGLiSII OPeRA Housit.—Mr. Raven appeared on
Saturday in the character of Giles, in the Miller's Maid.
The character is a difficnlt one. The situations are of
strong dramatic interest ; and the feelings to be pour
trayed require great powers. We bad some fears, that
in a character, written expressly for the powers of HID?:
ry, in what may be called domestic tragedy, Mr. Rayner
might not he peculiarly happy ; but we are glad to say,
that he disappointed ns most agreeably, and displayed a
degree of talent that delighted the House. He was fully
competent to the delineation of the character ; and his
exertions were rewarded with the greatest applause.—
The struggle with his feelings in the last sco.ie, where
he surrenders his mistress to his rival, was pour-
trayed is a masterly manner. Miss K ar.Lv's Miller's
Maid was all that it could be. A Mr. BRowN made his
first appearance in Mail, Marvellous. lie has evidently
comic powers; but he was not at home in the part, and
did not make much of it. We must see him in some-
thing else, before we can make up our minds to the ex-
tent of his abilities. Mr. W. CHAPMAN played Nipper•
.kin, in the Alva! ,Soldicrs, on Saturday. His comic
singing is excellent, but there is hardly mellowness
enough in his acting for Aripperkin. The excellence of
Murmur in the character throws every other attempt
into the shade.

HAYMARKET TRCATRE.--On Saturday evening, after
the comic sketch of Seeidg is Believing, in which Mr.
W. Wes' displayed great address in the part of Simon,
the rustic footman, who deceives his master by person-
ating a Scotch physician, we again witnessed the per-
formance of Sweethearts and If roes, and with Undimi-
nished pleasure. This is certainly the best of any of the
novelties that bare been produced on the London stage
for some time; although Simpson and Co. was a very
gond thing of the sane kind. It is, besides, greatly in-
debted to the several performers for the very spirited
way iii which the parts written fur them are supported.
Miss Cantata WAS captivating throughout; but in the
last scene she brought tears from every eye, except those
of the critics, and we cannot vouclr for the firmness of
the younger part even of that fr..ternity.Mr.Teititv's per-
formance was exquisite, and capahl • of sustaining a cum•'.
parison with the most approved in Niels. Miss Lovii,as
Laura, sung charmingly; but " Why are you wander.
ing here, I pray," was given with an archness and a
sweetness that were most rapturously received and loudly
encored. Mr. Wttadtns seems to be rather out of his
line in this piece, and to want more room to display his
talents. Of LISTON'S would-be-sentimental waiter, we
need say nothing, hut that he perforated it ; our dramatic
readers will conceive the rest. The evening's 7 inueetnents
terminated with N Killing no Murder," in Which LISTON
and MEAT supplied the anal futid.of merriment. •

had op a fornierday beta moved for, respecting' the 6th,
7th and Bth Cantos of Don Juan, by a learned Counsel,
who was now absent, he had distinctly asked him
whether any injunction referring to former parts of the
same work bad been moved for and refused. He had
been assured that no melt motion had been made. IL,
had,howeveron impri scion r n Lis mind, th.t an applica-
tion for an injunction had been made to the Lord Chan-
cellor, and refused. If that wis the case, he should de-
sire the present motion to be repeated before his Lordship,
nit appeared to him the last numbers Wete not ent.ticd
to the protection of the Court, if that protection had been
refused as to the original work—his Honor desired rbst
the order he bad pronounced for au injd coon might b

• RUSSIAN MARITIME CLAIMS.

It seems that the Russian Covernident bare advanced
'mop Cidims, as they call them; much too extravagant
and foolish to he thought of, with any seriousness, un-
less they were backed by a force much greeter than airy
which es en Russia can produce Az:tinst tin different Pow-
ers, whose interests would be injured by those Claims.—
They refer principally to her naval iloniinio3. These
said Claims, however, be they well founded or not, gave
rise to a curious con ion last ni,ht between Sir
James Macintosh and 3lr. Canning. Sir James begged
to ask his "'light lion. Friend." whether these Cimuis
had not advanced beyond the hounds of theory; whe-
ther Russian vessels of war lied not been sent to warn off
those of other Nations from cruising.on the waters be-
tween Nootka Sound and Japan ; whether any thing had
been done by our Government in consequence ; am'
whether any negotiation was pending on the subject.—
In answer to this question of many Members, Mr. Can-
ning begged to inform " his lion.end teamed Frie.l4l,"
that Government had received no information of the on-
tura alluded to;but theirs protest formerly presented against
torir Claims bad . been renewed,_ that a negotiation was
pending on the subject ; and that instruct:ups bad been
forwarded to our Ambassador, for the purpose of the
negociation, in the full spirit of that protest.

had any intention of lowering the rates of shipping charges
in the Colonies, on British vessels.
Mr. HUSKISSON said, that the subject was one of great
importance, but there were so many difficulties in the way,
that he could not at the moment make any declaration of the
intentions of Government. The fact was, that most of those
charges were imposed by local colonial regulations, with
which the Government had great difficulty in interfering.—
With regard to the petition presented by the Hon. Member
for Limerick (Mr. Rice), he was anxious that every justice
should he rendered the petitioners, and that a perfect equa-
lity should subsistas to the harbour charges on British and
Irish coasting vessels.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT supported the petition.
Mr. ELLICE said that in the Colonies where the charges
were highest, there were no Colonial Governments, particu-
larly in Demerara, Trinidad, and St. Lucia.
The petition was then brought up, and referred to the Com-
mittee on Foreign Trade.

itself into a Committee of the whole Home, to consider

WEEKLY REGISTER OF WEATHER.

This week has been different from any that have recently
preceded. Storms and showers have succeeded to the calm,
fair weather we enjoyed ; and the atmosphere, except when
rain was incumbent, has been cleared of the obscurity which
lately prevailed. The temperature too has undergone a consi-
derable change; yesterday morning the night thermometer way
below the freezing point, and the waggons from the country
appeared clothed with hoar frost. The most violent gale in
the week was on Wednesday night; and the brightest days
have been those that have followed it. The hoar frost proved,
as usual, the harbinger of rain, which began at an •arty hour
last night, and continued with little I itermission, till this fore-
noon. The quantity fallen, since this day week, amounts to an
inch and one tenth.

The postponement of the trial of the parties accused of
the murder of Mr. Wear, was an event that might have been
anticipated from the silly clamour made on their behalf
against the press. The public have no further interegt is
the matter than to obtain justice in the event ; but the new
dnct of tome of the agents of the accused, is ridiculotta
enough.—They, who complain so much of the publication
of the examinations, having actually furnished a copy to
a morning paper of their intended affidavit, before it ins
made in Court; and this document contains a republication
of all the matter of which they affect to complain. They
may be in the right to save their clients by any means ; but
that our judges should listen to the complaints of such par-
ties, is a little remarkable. We have promised not to make
our general comments upon the attack made
on the press in the charge of the Jude, until
after the trial ; but there is one point that
demands immediate notice, since the trial is postponed.—
Learned Judges, we thought, from their prior language,
contended against the publication of preliminary evidence,
lest it should injure the accused. And if it conlcl have
injured them unduly; that is, by supplying prejudice with
food, instead of furnishing the reason with facts, the
argument would have bad some plausibility in it ; but Mr.
Justice Park reserves the principle, and objects to the
publication, because " it may pot the accused upon their
" guard, and enable than to shape their defence accord.

done. It is the very essence of judice, that accusations
