The Lord Mayor. I think, thee, warned a pes/Ilao

For may my oration he gives to score,
If ern I saw, from the day I was bore.
A list of more kismet!, more properties, sea,
And probably never may fee we again,

Now high as I prise both the merits sad slates.
Of Loyalists stintst the lest Dettaralims
Perish me to my, it was too mild by half,—
Too moth milk sad wafer !--eeme Members map lesegh—
I care sot ;—I say that it did sot inherit, •
tylille of a fetal and Dow-serving spirit !
I'm charged too, with signing It, nevertheless.
I dld,—for I 'mew at how sue to express
My zeal, in 'supporting. with lira resoletion.
The Caows,—and Old England's deeay'd Consist usson !
Who they We, CONSTITUTION and Gown that sestala
The people should know,--else we labour is oats 1
And, therefore, I sign'd the fore-named Declaration,
AlUto' such a weak milk and seater potation !
For why should the Loyalists smother their cause,
And lose the high '2ll4—Ministerial applause ?
'Pon honour,—aye, even la detraetios's despite—
In corners and holes, Sir, I take no delight ;
And, never on any penult do I go,
Of which I do'st west the As.ntawry to know !
I sign'd, Sir, the loyal, lukewarm Declaration,
To briny to its senses a turbulent Nation !
7'. cheer up oil Munrry.—sria his good graces.—
And keep his toed Mietrrans still in their plans!
The Hon'rshle Member, my friend, who spoke last,
Is not quite corset' in detailing what pass'd
Attire M A NsioN-Illoust Meeting ; for patiently heard
Ae was,—until symptoms of riot appear*d.
At last it broke oat, with a vengeance 'tis true,
And dire was the fracas I—but what could we do.
Where adverse opinion so warmly prevail's!,
And each with settlings his neighbour assaird?
Why, Sir, to this (louse I could prove in a minute
That greater majorities out than now tx it.
Of sound thinking persons, in these fair dominions,
Are scooting the Ilon'rable Member's opinions.
WIELL•DRISS'D. Sir, believe me, and coos-ummtims
Pe*F4o.
Were wedg'd in the Msnsiox-Housa quite of a heap all;
Whilst I. most politely. besought their &Sestina ;
Bet no,—sot a word was I suffeN to mentlea!
.1 party oppos'd me, &the' so long speeches
I snake,—(a kind lesson that Prsdeeec still teaches ;)
And waiting a hearing en hour, perhaps longer,
The dissonant clause's grew Semis and stronger !
Is teat.--mina I erupted any metenkfills etilsweisten
Exceeded, in hey, the storms of the Omen !
Some hale stout yams' sees, who had sela'd with the throng
And press'd, the conlieting Addressers among,
Eseap'd from the Meatier, its tumult and smother.
And swore that they never would visit another !
I well recollect. is the year ninety-three,
A similar fracas I happen'd to see;
The piece. Ouorra's-(lass, where contention was wrought
So high, that a stout bottle-royal was fought !
Indeed, save site Meeting, I seer knew a case
Where wrangling and lighting had not taken place!
In that one, so happen'd good leek to betide,—
Its fortunate members—wren!' on one side!
Reverting again to the Msessom-Ilossa Row—
When neat our staunch Loyalists mess to avow
Their seal,—may they issue a strong Declaration
Unenix'd with a water aid milk preparation !
The gout in my toe, for I wore a great shoe,
At last sent me home, without bidding adieu.
And now having said, Mr. Speaker, thus much.
I hope on this Novas the impression is such
As fully the Ley/sties to clear and their leader,
' From charge, at that Meeting of boiseroes procedure.

The Honourable Baronet now sat dowe. a►aid the

The Mrt.t•lt.t.r. SIONCIINPIT..--The ground for this
monnment has been staked off in St. Andrew's &rare,
and the operations will now proceed as rapidly as pos.

stairerse leading to the top, and we understand is con-
tracted for to be built of the beautiful stone from (ulelo
Quarry, hifeshire.
The 6th, 7th, t‘th, 9th, and 10th Veteran Battalions

The following strange but well-attested occorrence,
which actually Wok place a few days since, will remind
our readers, says the Bristol Memory, of
" -Bias wo took the Doctor's bill,
And swellosi'd It instead elle pill."
A maa-servant in the employ of the Rev. Dr. Feltner,
of Yarcorabe, near Chard, being taken ill, the medical
attendant on the family was sent for, who prepared for
the man a bolus troop the family suedicine-chest,
sad having wrapped up in paper the grain-weights
used in weighing oat the proper proportions
of the dregs left them on the table, and
near to them the bolas, which he desired one of the
females of the house to carry to the wan-servant, with
instructions to take it immediately in treacle. Souse
hours aftewards, his master came to inquire shwa
the patient, and found hisn tittering • sake

These remarks have arisen from liar iontildpintion of
No 41, "Venus complainiog to Marealier having bow
wounded by Moused," painted by Mr. iiazirt. whores
however. we admire the general sit the' picture, re
have vainly molest in the cosapiabliag 1 r -Ibt any
thing that reminds us of the goddess of love aid tkauty.
Sir Wm. Beechey's " Neb.," No. 16. has-more of the
requisites of a god dem than the Venus; the stows par-
ticularly, have a great deal of grace ; bat ibis is ant is
extended through the Sore, ss to permit our itm+giat
lions to revel unshackled, in the delusions often pro-
duced by the fine productions of tirecian genius.
Ass. 24 is a sweet litttle picture; Mary, Qieen of
Malts is listening to a minstrel playing on the hate, who
ivears to have awakened in his Royal emitter a train
ih
Of the most interesting associations. Beauty, in deli-
cious reverie, was never, perhaps, more
.happily ex-
pressed.
N 0.112 represents the " Tournament at Ashby ;" at
the moment that Rowena is crowning Ivanhoe. It is a
very spirited sketch, painted by Mr. F. P. Stephanie',
ami coureys an excellent genersl idea of that splendid
scene.

No. 178 " M•leagar and Atalanta, or the Destntetion
of the Caledonian Boar," M• Mr. R. T. Bone, is a ♦ery
spirited composition, and has much energy is the artit
and expression of many of the figures, but We think the
power of the general effect much weakened by the ex-
treme hardness of the outlines.

No. 223 `• Satan starting at the touch of lthnriel's
lance," possesses much poetic feeling. The contrast
between the sweet repose of innocence, which our first
parents are enjoying, and the terrible agitation of the
author of evil, •lrtectrd in his guilty purpose, Is very
powerfully represented. The solemn tone of the picture
is happily adapted to the subject: we could have wished
fora little more of the freshness of Paradise in the co-
lour, which we think too much embrowned.

111 r. Wilkie, the Prince of Piinters in 'ernes Of
familiar life, has two small pictures ; one is a sketch of
his picture of " reading the Will," exhihited last veer,
at Somerset House; the other, No. 14, is " Athol nigh-
landers, returned from hunting the Red Deer." Being
a representation of a local custom, we cannot enter folly
into its merits, lint we were particularly struck with the
expression of .lignilkd importance in the piper, as he
plays the requiem of the deer, or celebrates the deeds of
the hunters. We were also h pleased with the
clearness of the colour ; the brilliancy of the atmos-
phere is quite cheering.
No. 12, "The Importunate Author," by Mr. Newton,
has great merit. The expression of the listening noble-
man, divided between a desire to gratify the author, and
fatigued at the length of his poeni, is eery good; sad
the energy of delight with which the author continues
to recite, without imagining it possible for an. auditor
to be fatigued with his production, is admirably de-
picted both in his countenance and gesture.
Mrs. Ansley's
of
have great spirit of mention
issa,brltllnary. or eolnitring. In No. 39, " Italian
Mower Stall," she has caught the splendour of the Ve-
netian tint, as well as the energy of expression which
characterises the inhabitants of that luxurious country.
Mr. Sharpe's " Seamstress," No. 113, has a great
deal of nature, and much rower of colour and effect.
His " Broken Window," No. 4, is also spirited in de-
sign, bat rather chalky in colour.
Mr. Kidd's pictures are very premising; we particu-
larly admired the delight with which the stolen kiss ap-
peared to be taken.

PrfORSTRIANISM.—Rainer has this week favoured
us with a sight of one of his exploits. On Tnesday
he went 50 miies in 15 minutes less than the time in
which he undertook to perform the task, viz, eight
hours; thereby winning a wager of .£4O. The
ground he chose fur the performance was a mile on-
wards from the Rear pnblic-house. Several brts were
won and lost on the occasi4n.

IlLurrowy.—The apprentice of a shoemaker in this
town exercised his eating talent on Wednesday last
at one meal, to the demolition of the following arti-
cles :—Silh. bacon, Ob. potatoes, a three-penny loaf,
three-pennies' worth of bread and cheese, a quart of
water, and three half-pints of brer.—His inducement
was, to obtain a trifling sum of tourney,
Last week, a seizure of melt being made near Dun-
kerrin, in the King's county, by a party of Revenue.
°Seery, assisted by a Serjeant's Uuard of the Veteran
Battalion, quartered at Ilosere, the country people
collected in great numbers, determined to rescue the
seizure, and being armed with several o'rensive wet:-
pone, guns, pistols, swords, &c. they most furiously at-
tacked the military, who, being unwilling to fire until
one of their party was wounded by a musket hall and
fell, whereupon the military, in their turn, fired, by
which several of the assailants were killed and wound-
ed. Not being intimidated, however, the mob rushed
upon the military before the latter hail time to reload,
several of whom they disarmed, but the remainder of
the King's troops, in the must gallant and spirited wan-
nor, protected the seizure, which they safely lodger) in
Ifisserea, after keeping up a retreating fire nearly four
OUR% during which several of the country people
were unfortunately killed and wonnded.—(rorres-
rendeat.)
EXTRAORDINARY Vistr.—A correspondent has Lie
Sinned us, that some morning last week a stranger
waled on a gentleman tvlso resides in fhb Queer's
Colinty, a few miles front this town—and having been
shown into the parlour, where the fatuity were at
breakfast, was hospitably invited to sit down. and par-
take of the repast; he did so ; and after the gentle-
limes wife had withdrawn, and the breakfast hall ken
itnirred, the stranger thus addressed his hest : "do
pa. net collect the tithes of this Pariah, Sir ?"—being
answered in the affirmative, " well Sir," Ishii the
straager, " f have waited on von to say, that if yen
are not more moderate in your ileums& than you bags
been heretofore, tee shall be ender the stiessalty.
paying you a re,it Having said this he wads his bow
nod retired, leaving the gentleman of the house a.
winch astonished at his conduct, that he, hadeat power
