POETRY.  ON BEING SHE'S SOME BEAUTIFUL SPECIMENS OF ORNAMENTAL PORCELAIN.  41.1•••••••  FROM THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Since to clay we must tura, 'tin consoling to know, That to objects u lovely as these they can mould us ; And, wherever this frame may be destin'd to go, In its relics our friends need not fear to behold us ! This rose we may fancy, its delicate hues So faithful to nature, when living composed The Bosom of Beauty adored by the Muse, Where Tenderness sigh'd, or Affection reposed! The form that so gracefully plays with the dart  Which the blind little god in his archery uses, Was one of those nymphs who imagine the heart /day be played with unhurt till the moment she chooses! Yon shell was a Poet ; but where is his fame ?  The verses he destined to live are unknown ; Yet he dreamt in his time he was leaving a name, And as idly are dreaming the bards of our own! • That gardener, smilingly gazing on flowers, Which welt as if breathing their odours around, Was a lover of Nature, Oat dwelt in her bowers, And rear'd her young sweets as they sprang from the ground! Foe me, when Eve pass'a through the change that gives birth To a substance like this, and again see the light, May the artist thus gracefullj form from my earth The lamp that•some nymph loves to read by at night! For then I may watch the emotion that plays In her eyes, as the lines of the minstrel they trace, And receive, ere in slumber she closes their rays, The last parting beams of expression and grace!  A vast concourse of persons assembled at Qum!). don, near Loughborough, on Sunday. sennight, to witness the baptism, in the river Soar, of twenty-one or twenty-two persons, all grown up, belonging to the sect of Primitive Methodists at that place. Thursday, Elizabeth Read, a pauper, of Wood. cotts, in the parish of Handley, Dorsetshire, was safely delivered of three female illegitimate children, who were baptized by the ntmes of Faith,Hope, and Charity! A few days since, as Edward Osborn, of Hope, near Kingsbridge, was standing on the cliff, near the sea, he observed a swarm of bees flying underneath him ; he immediately descended, and followed them a quarter of a mile, when the wind drove them back. The tnan stood still, and the bees all pitched on his leg, and soon crept under his jacket, and up his side s td arm. After this, he walked home to Hope, where he shook the bees into a butt without being stung ; and they are now doing well. Saturday Sir RICHARD BERNIE inspected a party of Horse Patrol, near the five mile stoue on the Harrow-road. At a Parish Meeting, held in Manchester, last week, the salary of the Deputy Constable, Mr. LAVENDER, was increased to £6OO, with a proviso that some of the indirect emoluments should be given up. Bow-Sraerr.—Muanel or Mae. DoNArry.—After the great exertions which have been made in various quarters to discover fie murderer of Mrs. DONATTY, there is at length reason to hope that a clue is obtained to trace the villain, which was ascertained yesterday in a private examination before Sir Riculten BIREig.
