1t may be remembered by some of our
readers, says the New-York Mirror, that
when the present King Of England was only
Prince Regent, and heir apparent to the
throne, the bodies Of Henry the 9th, and
Charles the 1st, were discovered in vault
within Westminster Abbey; and also, that
the Prince Regent satisfied his curiosity by
visit to the tomb. Upon this circumstance
Lord Byron wrote the following power full
and severe lines. No Printer has ever dar-
cd to publish them in Britain, for fear of an
.ex licio'iinformation from that great alli-
gator of the law the Attorney General.
We are pleased at having it in our power to
give our readers an original piece ofthe great
bard's producing:
Famed for contcnptuous breach ofsacrcd ties,
By hcadless Charles, see heartless Harry lies:
Between them stands another sccptred thing,
1t reigns-it movcs--in all but name King.

In him the double tyrant starts to life.

work in the mines; making bricks; gather
ing the refuse Of the streets with their hands;
carr, Ing coal on their heads from the canals
to supply their forges; and engaged in SINH
lar employmcnts SO unsuitable to the sex.
In some ofthe shops ] saw men at labour,
who had not a shirt to their backs, their on
ly covering being ragged pair of panta-
loons The climate of the country seems
happily adapted to the condition of the poor.
The extreme heat of our country would not
only prevent them from working at their
forges in the summer, but would engender
feyers and other contagious diseases among
SO much poverty and filth. and their novels
would but indifferently protect them from
the inclemency of our winters. Having
walked till was fatigued, and looked till
was disguised, stepped into coach and
returned to town.
These scenes, so frequently presented in
the manufacturing districts, as also in vari-
GUS other parts of the country, impart to the
spectator an acquaintance with the lower
classes, which nothing but actual inspection
can supply. Multitudes with whom trans
act business, can neither read nor write, and
when their money is counted cut to them,
they are. unable to tell whether they are re
csiving a g5 note or only one. When con-
trast the situation and circumstances Of the
labcaring population of this country, with
those OF the same portion of our own citizens,
am led to reflect how much we are indebt-
ed to the first settlers of the United States
for the system Of Education, which they cs-
tabishcd, and how insensible we are of the
the benefits which now arise from it. Our
free schools, next to the ordinances of reli-
gion, are the nob!est institutions of our con-
try, and if they continue to be we'll support
ed, will place our nation far before any other,
in political, intellectual, and moral point OF
view. Most of the revolutions that have
agitatef and destroyed other nations, have
had their rise from an lliterate populace.
No violent revolution can ever take place,
where the people are SO well educated as
the Americans are. This subject could me-
yer have struck my mind SO forcbly, had /
not come hither, and seen the difference in
this respect between the two countries.

weather and unwholesome. At the begin
ming of which weather we had great a
thunder stormc in the night which at Dor
chester slew 5 oxen in the field without any
remarkable signe what it was that killed
them.
"From that time forward great sickness
epidemcal did the Lord lay upon us, so that
the greatest part of the town was sick at
once, whole familys sick young and old,
scarce any escaping English or Indian The
manner of sickness was a very drye cold,
with some tincture of fever, and full of ma
lignity and very dangerous if not we'll re-
garded by keeping low diet, the body solu-
BILE, warme, sweating, Scat which time
of visitation, blessed Mrs. Winthrop the
Governors wife dyed.
Goods rods are teaching--the epidemic
al sickness of colds doth rightly, by divine
hand tell the churches what the epidemical
spiritual disease is. Lord help US to see
and to have such colds in the height of the
heat of summer shows us that in the height
of the means of grace, peace and liberty OF
ordinances, &c. yet we then fall into malig-
nant and mortal colds, appoplexys, &c.
"This visitation of God was exceeding
strange, it was suddaine and general; as if
the Lord had immediately sent forth an an
gel, not with a sword to kill. but with red
to chastise; and he smote all good and bad,
old and young, or as if there were general
infection of the air, which went from north
to south by degrees injecting all. Yea such
as were on the seas near the coasts were so
infected and smitten.
"And this is remarkable, that though few
dyed yet some did; and generally those that
dyed were of the choicest flowers and most
precious saints. Among others that were
then taken to rest, was that worthy and
blessed light, Mr.. Hooker who having cold
and preached twice on the sabbath (Mr.
Stone not being at honey and ministered
both the sacrements, the Lords supper in
the forenoone, and baptism in the afternoone,
he was SO over spent, and his spirits sunk,
that he never could recover them again."

COUNSELLOR PHILLIPS oUTDoNE.
A CALCUTTA JEu D'EspnIT.

Grim. Con. The case Of Seengh Seer us.
Paggul, was decided on Wednesday. in the
Supreme Court, Calcutta. The prosecutor
is gentleman OF distinguished worth and
hospitality, who had invited the defend mt,
General Sir Seeboo Paggul. to pass few
weeks at his beautiful seat in the Sunder-
bounds. The lady is the daughter of the late
Raja Skulkum Sing; and sister to the present
Rajah, so well known at the south end of the
town. We never heard more glowing
and feeling speech than was delivered Oil
the occasion by Councillor RooHa PooHa,
tor the plaintiff. 1t draws tears from the
eyes OF a crowded court. An old Sircar,
blubberlng III corner struck us as fine IL
lustration OF the moving power of eloqucnce.
Defendants Counsel, Dolc.ieenee Cosymud-
dy, Esq. was quite taken a>ack by t, and
Counsellor l7orgcc, who never looscs an op-
portunity for cracking a joke, said his broth
CT Cownuddy appeared rather Dum-cozued.
Unwilling as we are to lay ourselves open to
the charge of garbling such spcech-yet
cannot we resist the temptation Of quoting a
portion oft. "No (said he) there is not in
the garden Of life sweeter flower than this,
but the defendant rAcd it. Like pesti-
lent Simoom of Ind. The serpent had broke

aration I came here; for rupees, annas, and
spices, can give none-but they may mark
your sense of the crime of the defendant;-
they may clip the wings of splendid tempta-
tion-they may dilute the venom of his wiles.

altar ofjusticc and in the sacred name ofjus-
tice call upon you to award heavy damages.

PROVERBS.

A fool may ask more questions in an hour
than wise man can answer in seven years.
A man is little the better for liking him
self, if nobody else like him.
A kiss of the mouth often touches not the
heart.
Every thing hath an end, and pudding
has two.
Gentility without ability is worse than
plain beggary.
Fools have liberty to say what they please.
Apothecaries would not give pills in sugar
unless they were bitter.
Accusing is proving, where malice and
power sit judges.
A hasty man never wants woe.
He who is rich passes for wise man too.
He who has good health is young, and he
is rich who owes nothing.
Idleness buries man aliye.

THE DYING EXILE OF IRELAND.


t'The Irish people are celebrated for their
attachment to their country. No matter IN
what cline All lrishman may be placed by
destiny, the remembrance of the green hills
ofhis native isle is impressed upon his heart,
and he never ceases to warm his imaeina-
ton with the hope of revisiting the dear
scenes of his YOUTH Sir John Carr.
"Erin! an Exile bequcaths you his blessing!"
lonely wanderer OIL foreign strand,
Far from each former friend, and that dear shore
lie fondly call'd his own, (though his no more)
The Exile felt that awful hour at hand,
When life declining to its latest sand
Had feebly ebb'd-and every grief was o'cr,
save the sad thought, that all who might deplore
His fate, were distant on his native land,
And he must die neglected and alone;
"Nor wife nor chld'' might even know the spot
Where he must sleep unmarked by cross OF
stone,
His woes unpiticd and his name forgot;
let wrath he felt not-and Ills dying prayer
Nose for his country's suilerings and despair!

There are several fine monuments and
pieces OF sculpture in the British Cathe-
dral; but what attracted my attention the
most, (says late traveller,) was the sim
pie tablet on which was engraved the fol-
lowing beautiful epitaph, (perhaps the most
beautiful in the language) on lady of the
name of Mason, who being in consumption,
was brought to Clifton for the recovery of
her health and died while in the act of
drinking the water. The epitaph was writ
ten by her husband, the Reverend William
Mason -
"Take, holy earth, all that my soul holds dear;
Take that best gift which Heaven so lately gave.
To Brstol's fount bore with trembling care,
Her faded form she how'd to taste the wave,
And died Do youth and beauty read the linei
Does sympathetic fear their breasts alarml
Speak dead Maria breathe strain divine.
Ev'n from the grave thou shalt have power to
charm.
Bid them be chaste, be innocent like thee;
Bid them in duty's sphere as meckly move:
And, if so fair, from vanity as free;
As firm in friendship, and as fond in love-
Tell them, though tits an awful thing to die,
CTwas ev'n to thee!) yet the dread path once
trod,
Heaven lifts its everlasting portals high,
And bids the pure in heart behold their Con-"

The conversation of artists, when it has
reference to their profession, is usually
patched up with phrases peculiar to them
selves, and which may not improperly be
called the slang of art. This iargon, when
heard by persons unacquainted with its appli-
cation, is AIT to lead awkward mistakes. A
laughable instance of the kind occurred late
ly. A party of artists were travelling in a
stage coach, in which, besides themselves, a
sedate venerable lady was the only passenger.
The conversation among the artists ran on
something as follows -" How hicYfut those
clouds are that group to the left is swectly
composed, though perhaps little too solid
and rocky for the others. l have seen norh-
ing of AIS lately. think he is CLEVER
He makes all his flesh too chaiky. You must
allow, however, that he is very successful
with his ladies'" The old lady began to ex-
hibit symptoms of uneasiness, and at the
close of each observation, cast an anXious and
inquiring look at the speaker. Her com
panions, however, unconscious of the alarm
they were exciting went on in the same style.
She heard them, to her increasing dismay,
talk of a farmhouse coming ont from the
neighbouring trees, and gentleman's ground
zvanting rehose. At length they approached
an old village church. A great many OBJ
servations were made about the kecf,ing, &c.

pose of looking among the manufacturers
NV business led me into courts, lanes, back
yards, and obscure places, where these peo-
ple reside or labeur l saw more poverty
and degradation, in ramble of two days,
than in all my lite before. In one shop were
Ave or six women, wrctchedly clad, making
screws, in another, were several at work on
padlocks.-In some shops were father, mo-
ther, sons and daughters, all manufacturing
mills One may likewise see females at
