This Pity bath ever been considered as. one of
Use most attractive, *along the many that have
been produced by our immortal ; and it is
chiefly indebted for this ettraction to the *Wel,
yet delicate manner, in which the author bath Ins
terwoven the. progress of love. between Orlando •
and Rosalind. Every young bosom is warmly
:interested in lbC delineation and expression of •
that primary and eijeantic passion, which., like .
'a mountain torrent,, sweeps all the minor con-
sideraliine of life before it ; nor is the recollection. •
of its joys and its siarrows so fir obliterated in OW
heart of age itself, but that the retraciimg
Images can yield pleasure. There is no part lit`
Sitaassestaeh's character Which excites our won: *.
der more than his ability to draw the portrait of
ateenamoured Lady with so snitch chastity lane
rguage, as he never commits the dignity of the see
by any coarseness, which is assuredly stimemehat
marvellous in. a m!n who etas compelled its
monde towards social knowledge through the mea
`tassel
of vulgarity, until he had arrived at en ad-
vanced period of life, when his leading; habits had
Lean formed. It is very possible for any matt to
possess genius among the inferior classes, but it is
scarcely to be believed that any writer thus pica
cninstanced could depict manners that be nerer
saw, and arrange sentiments that ho never.heard.
Many men may.have the faculty of thinking pow..
cattily', even in situatiens where science had nevet
thrown her luminous beams ; but as manners and
politeness are dependent upon imitation, and not
intuition, he must be somewhat more than mortal
who can SUAply that from.the stores of his Joules
nation which example had never presented.to his
coutemplation„ •

A Coltman Hall is to beheld ota Tuohy next to

presentation of the Petition to. hilt MAJESTY, !ot-

the Throne, until Alderman Witotee's mayoralty,
'when it was refused and they were informed,
, that his MAJESTY WOUld 4n future reOerso. them
at-the Levee. The Livery, however, have from
that time4o the present, continued to assert this
right, and refused to present their Petitions in any
other manner. At the last Common Hall they
.so far waved 'the right; as trerely to direct the
Lone MAYQR and Sheriffs to preient the P.4itioit
to his MAJESTY ; conceiving, no doubt, that his
MAJESTY would either receive it at the Lever,
9r grant, as had been um!, a personal audience
to the Lord Ma) or and Sheriffs. Even this, how- ,
ever, has now been refused ; and the Sheriffs have
been informed, by the Secretary of State,. that the
Petition who'd he remived only through his 011ice.i
In 1775, Sir WILLIAM, PLOMER, then Sheriff,
