ORIGINAL POETRY.

WJITTLS 011 litLairis or TWO !MATO OF xaroLroo:

Aod eao it Ire then. that thl spirit has fled.
Ere it wrotked its rever.ge on thy foes :
That a sin I span of earth hides the elladstal head
That robli'd the wide world of repdse.
Bet thou had'st thy revenge, whoa thee • saw'st from yod

-
hid.
How despots divided the earth ;
And even in death—the stern spirit would smile
To see liberty erush'il in its birth.
'Twos enough to hare lived to heir Enrol* redound
With the curses of hate 'pilot thy foes;
And to know that the brave will shed tears on the groped
Where thy mouldering asbiti 'repose.

The weather this weeh has herb more seasonable alit
the lac', though the brilliant days have been intermixed
itim those of clouds and showers. While all the smu-
ttier. the inhabitants of London and of England in gene-
ral have had no reason to complain of want ofrain, Scot-
land, it appears. till within the last fortnight, has bees
suttertnr severely under a drought of nearly nine weeks
continuance. It is said to be sithont a parallel since
the year kill. In the course of the last two weeks,
corms of tituntler and lightning have visite! several
parts of Yorkshire and the north of England, an.l
' been in soine places destructive. It has been soticel
lin several of the London papers as a simgmlar fret. th:it
it • thermometer on the longest day this year indie..ted
I. one degree of cold more than on the shortest day of the
last. If this assertion be true, it must have been vm :y
early in time warning. of the 21st of June. Ou that day
the thermameter, from which our Itegtster is Wien,
was at S o'clock in time morning 50 deg., at I afternoon
59a1e0., and at II at night 49 4,7% On the 211/41 of Dec.
last. at those respective hours, it was 49 deg. :•0 deg. and
42 der. This day, it will be remarked, has been by two
derrers the warmebt day this year. The quantity of
rain fallen this week is exactly I quarter of an inch.

IiFRER or WM. Carter, readers are in pos-
se...ion of the melancholy and lamentable manner by
which William Cruise, Esq. of Helgarde Castle, in the
Comity Kildare, came b 7 his death on the 3d of Jan.
last. On Monday morning. at 10 o'clock, John Winne,
by trade a carpenter, a native of the County Kildare,
was landed at the Pigeovehonse Dock, Trom on board
the Shamrock packet, and soon after conreved on a
jannting car to the Head Police Office, by Iting and

ton). !whinging to Major O'Donolsue's corps of Police

arrival of the tnhappy man at the Heed Offi..e, he nn-
derwent a long examination before the Magistrates,
throughout which be denied any knowledge of the !wie-
der. or any person concerned in it. Donne is a stout
well made man, about 2, years of age, five feet eight or

tive and fortuidabie in appearance. About three o'clock

mancitoty Acct inmr PROM THE OvERTCRNING OP A
STAGE-COACII.—A Coroner's Inquest Was held at the sign
of the Hoar, in Chipping-Norton, Oxfordshire, on the
1411' ult. on the body of Mr. John Cooper, late of
Southampton-row Bloomsbury, a pianoforte-maker,
who met with his death in consequence of the over-
turning of the Old Fly Worcester coach. The Jury,
after taking a view of the body, adjourned to the 19th,
when they met again to bear the evidence ; from which
it appeared, that about twelve o'clock on'the night of
July 13, as the Old fly Worcester coach was entering
Chipping-Norton, having nine outside and one inside
passenger, the deceased. Mr. Cooper, being sitting on
the box with the coachman, the coachman. although
warned by the guard, who called to hiin to keep from
the bank, negligently drove it upon the raised footway,
within a few inches of the wall, and the coach was
immediately overturned, and five of the passengers SO
much injured that they we not yet able to purse* their
journey ; and the deceased, who has left a disconsolate
widow and seven small children to lament his loss,
died of the injure he received, the next day, at ono
o'clork. It also appeared, that previous to the acci-
dent the coachman run the coach against the toll-gate
post and broke one of the traces, which he treated as
a matter of no cousequence, and drove on o ithout
mending it, till the fatal accident took place. The
Jury, after hearing and czar:living the difGrrot with'
nesse% retnrned the following verdict :—" 1 hat tha
deceased cattle to his deaf'' by the overtitruing of the
coach, occasioned in part by the careless and negli-
gent conduct of the coachman :" and Isid a deodaad of
St on the coach,
