it round his head at arms length; the impulse with

PuFFING.-We extract the following article,
which is burlesque description of the first appear

On Saturday, Mrs. sddon,, about whom all the
world has been talking appeared for the first time
at our Theatre in the bewitchng, melting, and all

The Stirling JON nal gives the fol.
lowing account OF Madame Gesier, u
Scottish lady. who nursed the Emper-
or Alex ndrr:- MADAME Gesler
" hose maiden name was Ewing, was
born at the Torwood Toll, Stirling
shire, in the year ISL, where her ia

from severe fever. Some time after
the family went and resided at Old
Sauchie, near Devon Iron Works -
Madame Gesler tat this time Miss
Ewing and her elder sister, being in
the service of the late Lord Cathcart
went with him to Russia in his embas-
| sy to the Court of Catharlne. Some
years thereafter, she married M.
Gesler, Leeper of the Jewels, &c. to
the Empress, with whom Madame
Gesler became great favorIte, and on
the birth Of the Emperor Alexander
was appointed by her to the important
duty OF wet nurse. Thus she and her
husband continued high in favor under
the rcigns of Paul and Alexander. Nj
Gesler still lives, but Madame Gesler
died about seven Years ago. Her ell
der sister was married to an English
gentleman, high in favour with the
Empress; and her family, as well as
that of Madame Gesler, now move in
a very elevated sphere Some time
after this settlement in St. Petersburg,
they sent for younger sister they had
lett al home, who was not long with
them till she became the wife of DR..

burgh with considerable addition to
their fortune, their royal patroness hav

TO IRENE.

List love, list, DER Adria's sea
Soft plays moonlight smile,
And with the waters revelry
JOINS nsny laughing isle.
The gondolIer has sunk TO sleep
Upon the weary oar,
And giant shadows ghost like creep
Ger silent plain, and reach the deep,
Beyond the bending shore.
They tell me that in oceans far
Floats niasy a SPICY tgnt,
Where pennon never waved for war
Nor trumpet gave command,
Where one eternal summers light
Shews ever blooming flowers,
And where the stars that gem the night
Are woman's eyes. which make bright.
Fond heaven Of earthly bowers.
And say they true, when thus they tell
OF clmes so wondrous fairi
Oh then wen breast the heRying swell
And pass existence there.
Well Gull those flowers, we'll see those eye:
With starry lustre blest'
And life beneath those sunny skies
Ne one ne'er ending Paradise,
One dream on beAuty's breast.
