III The following SONG was written, by the late Sir William Jones, when a Counsel cm the Welsh circuit, at a rllral fete oil the Banks of the Tivy, in Cardiganshire, at which himself and several of his brethren of the bar Were present. THE TIVY. Fair Tivy, how sweet are thy waves gently flowing, Thy wild shaken woods and green eglantine bowers, Thy. baolcs with the blush rose and amaranth glowing, While friendship aud mirth claim these Jabourless hours Yet weak is our vauut, while something we want, More sweet than the pleasure which prospects can give- Come, smile, damsels of Cardigan, Love can alone make it blissful to live. How sweet is the odour of jasmine and roses, That zephyr around us so lavishly fiiugs! Perhaps for Blaenpant (1) fresh perfumes he composes, Or tidings from Bronwitll (2) auspiciously brings Yet weak is our vaunt, while something we waul, More sweet than the pleasures which odours can give— Come, smile, damsels of Cardigan, Love can alone make it blissful to live. How sweet was the strain that enlivcn'd the spirit, And cheer'd us with numbers su frolic and tree The poet is absent,, be just to his merit, Ah may he in love be more happy than we For weak is our vaunt, while something we want, More sweet than the pleasure the muses can give—- Come, smile, damsels of Cardigan, Love can alone make it blissful to live. How gay is the circle of friends round a table, Where stately Kilgarren (3) o'erhangs the proud dale, Where none are unwilling, and few are unable, To sing a wild song, or relate a wild tale Yet weak is our vaunt, while something we want, More sweet than the pleasure that friendship can give— Come, smile, damsels of Cardigan, Love can alone make it blissful to live. No longer then pore over dark gothic pages, To cull a rude gibberish from Stadium or Brooke Leave year-book and. parchments to grey-bearded sages, Be nature and love, and fair, women, our book For weak is our vaunt, while something we want, More sweet than the pleasure that learning can give- Come, smile, damsels of Cardigan, Love can alone make it blissful to live. Aflmit that our labours were crown'd with full measure, And gold were the fruit of rhetorical tiowers, That i.iuia supplied us with long-hoarded treasure, 1 hut Dynevor, (4) Slebech, (5) and Coidmore (6) were ours Yet weak is our vaunt, while something we want, More sweet than the pleasure that riches can give—• C-ome, smile, damsels of Cardigan, Love can alone make it blissful to live. Or say, that preferring fair Thames to fair Tivy, the bright ermine robes, purple and red, And peep'd thro' long perukes, like owlets thro' ivy, Or say, that bright coronets blaÙ1 on our head Y ct weak is our vaunt, while something we want, ore sweet-ihan the pleasure that honours can give- Come, smile, damsels of Cardigan, Lave can alone make it blissful to live 1 The seat of W.

SONNET.
SONNET. BY MRS. CHARLOTTE SMITH. ILL-ornen'd bird whose cries portentous float O'er yon savannah with the mournful wind While, as the Indian hears your pining note, Dark dread of future evil fills his mind- Wherefore, with early lamentations break The dear delusive visions of repose ? Why, from so short felicity awake, My wounded senses to substantial wocs ? Q'er my sick soul, thus rous'd from transient rest, FaIesuperstiUou sheds his influence drear, And to my shudd'ring fancy would suggest, Thou to speak of every woe, I fear- But aid me, heaven, my real ills to bear, Nor let my spirit yield to phantoms of despair!

AN ELEGY Cn the Death of the Rev. ElnLl R D EVANS, late of ABERDAKT;, GIAMOHOANSHIRE. BY DAVID IIUDHY. SONS of the Muse, who love the tuneful art, Head these effusions of a bleeding heart. If e'er your souls possess'd poetic lire, And with a master's hand have touch'd the lyre ? If to the human heart the way ye know And can excite true joy, or real woe} O weep with me! o'er Edward's sacred urn" And let us to his fame sweet incense burn. Low in the earth lies nature's pupil's head; Oh! that he should be number'd with the dead I For who could teach mankind with equal art, Reline their manners, purify the heart! He taught us how to live, and (011! too high The price of knowledge,) taught us how to die." His wit was pointed, yet from harshness free, A ch ristiara moralist in truth was he j His fancy lively, and his judgment sound, He simplify'd to babes truths most profound: He taught the sacred ovaeies of God; I From superstition free his ways he trod in'or was lie aw'd by fi'rv bigot's ruize, Try'd all he could their fury to asswage. His moral songs with sentiment replete;* His thoughts are nervous, and his diction neat; His knowledge from true nature's volume drew; The laws that sway the human mind he knew Describ'd each passion, with a master's art, That doth depress or elevate the heart; What art denied him, bounteous nature gave, Altho' self-taught, his fame survives the grave.

METHOD OF PRESERVING TURNIPS…
METHOD OF PRESERVING TURNIPS IN THE NORTH. Turnips intended to be stored through the winter, should be drawn before any fro.st comes to injure them. As a slight frost will prejudice them 'more particularly after they c are topped and tailed, and lying in the held; the safest way is to carry them home immediately-. In topping do not -cut the rind either top or tail, for the turnip ever rots first where the rind is broken. A little too being left, it may --e,getate, which however is not so bad as to-rot, but it is far better to be exact, and prevent both dangers. The most _——— i-lvantngcoassize of the heap*, &c. in which tliey will feeeo is fit-e feet in aiic" "otir iii lieigilt, laperiii, from the. bottom to the top. The heap may be extended to any length which convenience may require. They are best preserved on the surface of the ground, the an* being beu0t:ci<:i t,) thorn. Let them be as dry as possible betore they are covered, which may be with divot (chaff) cast and winnowed in summer; or dry rushes, flags, fern, or straw, half a foot thick, and shelving to shoot off the rain, the sides also to lie thatched. When the frost sets in sharp, take some of the hottest horse-dung, and put over the co- vering, which will. preserve them from the severest frost .which ever happens;\I H¡ji"in, and they wilt be as sound in March,,as when drawn, although not so full of juice. Be careful to make the heaps on dry-ground, or lay a founda- tion of sand, gravel, or faggot-wood. No straw, nor any thing to be mixed with the roots, which in course will be holiow, and the air will draw between them. Carrots, mangel wurzel, and parsnips may be preserved in the same 'way. In most winters, turnips topped and tailed carefully, and thoroughly dry, will keep, thrown into the corner of a barn, and covered with! cloth or straw, The benefit of stor- ing turnips is incalculable, not only as saving the entire crop, more than half of which is sure to be Jost in a hard frost, and the remainder nearly spoiled hut as having them at hand for the stock in winter, and the hrid free for any other crop, or preserved unexhausted for tyniips grow- ing in the spring. ON THE ASHES OF FERN, AS A DRESSING FOR LAND. The ashes of fern are stronger than any other, 'and must consequently, on account of the great quantity of salts they contain, be of infinite service in promoting vegetation. A iietd of live acres !yingnu»ar a common, which grew abun- dance of fern, was under fallow for wheat, (the custom of poor land counties). One part of the ground was dressed with dung alone another part with a mixture of lime and old pond-mud, well mixed, and laid ex in a large quantity the remainder with the ashes of burnt fern. About four waggon loads of the fern were expended on an acre, at the expenee of 3s. 6d. a load for cutting, drying, and carrying. The wheat was reaped on the 3d of August, and as far as the fern was burnt, namely, over two acres, the wheat was in every respect the best in the field, being taller, stronger, thicker, the, ears larger and finer, and the crop very clean from grass and weeds. The reapers all declared they had not cut any wheat so fine that season. The part dressed with lime and mud, was better than that dressed with dung only, that being the worst. The difference in respect of quantity of sheave; was in favour of the fern-dressed part, nearly as seven to nve; but the difference with respect to the quantity-of clean corn, inust certainly be in a greater proportion, by reason of the ears being so much larger and finer. TO KEEP FRESH BUTTER THROUGHOUT THE WINTER. Make the butter into balls of 30 or 401b. weight, and salt it a little more than for fresh butter; lay the balls in the middle of a bin of Hour, aud it will keep good aii the win- ter. Or, salt it as usual, and put it into pots, and cover it about two inches high with good brine but this will not keep so w £ il as the other. If salt-butter be well washed and then beaten up with new' milk, it will taste like fresh butter.

SIB,—I have the honour to acknowledge your letter of the 4th of August, with its inclosnres, (the Acts of the il- lustrious corporation of the Port of Spain, Island of Trini- dad, bearing date the 23d of July and the 6th of August, 1304), and I have to request that you will have the good- ness to convey to that illustrious body you represent, the very high sense I entertain of the honour they have done me, in judging me worthy of being mentioned in the same act with that great soldier and patriot, the late General Sir Ralph Abercromby, K. B.; and though I am fully sensible that I cannot fail to suffer in the estimation of the world," I from a comparison with that distinguished, personage, whose active and fc|tBe?oIeht virtues reflected so touch ho- nour on the country and age he lived in, yet I will not de- cline so flattering a mark oftheirrememhrance and regard and wiJIendeavour to render myself worthy of them by an humble imitation of so perfect an example. I have to request, Sir, that you will assure the honourable Members of your illustrious Board, that I have not forgot- ten, and never can forget, the persevering zeal and active disinterested co-operation which I invariably experienced from them,, collectively and individually) in every thing which respected his Majesty's Government, during the whole period of -my difficult and laborious administration of your important colony. Permit me, Sir, to say, that in having received this proof of the estimation in which my humble services are held by the ftfostriousi representatives of the people of Trinidad, through your hands, I must feel a superadded degree of satisfaction in the consideration that it comes through one of the oldest British settlers in the island, who was 'present during the whole of my administration, closely connected, for the greater part, with its government, and whose ap- probation, from his perfect knowledge of the Spanish lan- guage, and the Spanish laws, must render it, at once, tin; more flattering and the more valuable. I have the honour .to be your most faithful humble servant, THOMAS PICTON. Philip Langton, Alcalde of the 1st Election, 1 Port of Spain, Trinidad. Bonaparte has very unexpectedly forbidden the impor- tation of all German newspapers and political journals, both at Strasburgh, and in the Conquered German pro- vinces. A letter from Portsmouth states the following melan- choly circumstance :—" The smack Three Sisters, of Pen- zance, Jones, master, from Gibraltar, was wrecked on the east end of Hayling island, near the entrance of Chiches- ter harbour, and Lieutenant Bennett, of the royal garri- son battalion, his lady, a daughter of about 22 years of age, one about 12, and two infants, were washed over- board and drowned. The two daughters, and one of the infants, have been washed up at Hayling, and interred. Another passenger, Mr. Laurence Calahan, and his wife, the master, and three of the crew, were saved. One boy of the vessel was drowned. The vessel is entirely goue to pieces." Letters from Great Yarmouth state the total loss of the Venus, of Plymouth, with 2,000 quarters of wheat— crew'saved. The specie of the Spanish frigate Fama, is arrived at the Bank; the other part of the cargo is stored at; Gosport, The following is a correct account of the lading: 14776 seal skins; 58 buffalo hides; 299 pigs of tin 28 planks of wood 5 cases containing an altar for a church, made of most beautiful pearl shells, a present from Peru to the King of Spain; 5 cases of china; 1 box of furs; 1 bundle of furs; 2 cases, contents unknown; 1 bale, contents unknown, 1 bundle of matting 2 casks of cloves; 10 bales of hair; 213 boxes, containing3000 dollars each 9 boxes, contain- ing 3000 doubloons each; 34 bags, containing 500 dollars each. Covent-Garden Theatre. — The Blind Bargain and the Irish Mimic were on Wednesday night performed at this Theatre, by command of their Majesties. Every part ot the house was completely filled in a few minutes after the doors were thrown open, and very many paid for admission without being able either to procure a seat or a view of the objects of their curiosity. Their Majesties were received with tumultuous and enthusiastic applause. The people manifested their satisfaction, not only by the common tes- timonies of clapping hands, but by loud and repeated huzzas from the male part of the audience, and by the waving of handkerchiefs from the worsen. God save the King, and Ride Britannia, were both sung from the stage, previous to the commencement of the entertainments of the evening, and accompanied in full chorus by the au- dience. The play went ofF with unusual spirit, and the Royal Family seemed much delighted with it, and fre- quently applauded the prominent passages. The King has gained considerably en bon poutt, and being dressed in regimentals, he appeared, to much advantage. Drury-Lane,—Tuesday evening a new operatical farce, entitled Matrimony, taken from the popular French piece of Adolphe et Clara, was performed for the first time at this Theatre. It is the production of Mr. Kenny, author of Raising the Wind, and was received with universal appro- bation.—The following is an outline of the fable Delaval and Clara, an amiable young married couple at Berlin, having by too fashionable habits, and a mutual perverse- ness of disposition, involved themselves in incessant quar- rels with each other, at length both solicit the uncle of Clara, a Cabinet Minister, to use hjs power in procuring them a separation.—-The uncle, convinced of the goodness of their hearts, and tlieir lurking fondness for each other, resolves, in order to cure them of their folly, and convince them how necessary they were to each other's happiness, to confine them both in a mock prison.—He commits the management of his plan to his friend, Baron de Limburg, whose castle, at a few miles from the city, is accordingly converted into the pretended prison. They are arrested separately, and meet unexpectedly in the Castle of Lim- burg. Their meeting at.first is attended with mutual re- proaches but, by degrees, feeling the solitude and gloom of their situations, they court each other's company, and filially, relapse into all the ardour of their first affection.- They are then detected in an attempt to escape when an offer of freedom is made to the first who should sign a deed of separation. This they both refuse, and deter- mine rather to pass their lives together in a prison than part again.—The Baron, thus convinced that their follies are radically cured, discovers the plot, and they prepare to return, mutually happy, to Berlin. A new comedy is forth-coming at Drury-lane, from the pen of a young barrister, and is said to be very superior indeed in composition, humour, and sentiment. It has been revised by Mr. Sheridan, at whose suggestion some inci- dents were introduced into it, which have materially im- proved the dramatic effect.

Our artists will vie with one another in their suggestion of means to facilitate the d" phering of the nearly obliterated manu- scripts; and if some happy contrivance shall be found to preserve the tinder from perishing until it can be traced and read, what treasures of literature may not yet be brought to light, and what honours and gratitude will Dot be due to his Royal Highness for his noble patronage of the design Royal Humane Society.C-.Last Sunday a charity sermon was preached at St. Margaret's church, Lothbury, by the Rev. John Owen, M. A. and a collection made in behalf of this beneficent and national institution. The preacher, in the course of his sermon, remarked, that during the thirty years which have elapsed since the establishment of this institution, and in the limited extent of population in which it had existence, near 4000 persons had been re- called to a second life. Within the last seven days there were entered inwards at the Custom-house, 24,480 quarters of corn, yet there has been no considerable fall in the price of grain in Mark- lane.-How is this ? The rogues in grain are not the only set at whom the peo- ple have cause'to murmur; it is a known fact, that cattle of the best quality have been sold at Smithfield, for many market days past, at such a price, that the cutting but- chers could afford to sell any joint at 7d. per lb. and that with a good profit; whereas none but the most inferior parts can be had under from 8d. to lid. In pork like- wise, the profit they charge is enormous sides of prime young pork can be bought in the market at from 3s, 8^. to 4s> per stone of 81b. but at few shops can, it be bought under lOd. or lid. per lb. A young man for a wager of ten guineas, engaged to hop upon one leg for three quarters of an hour, which he performed on Friday morning in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, with apparent ease. He went a distance of two miles and a quarter in the time. A section of an act for the government of a workhouse, lately passed by the Legislature of Rhode island, contains the following whimsical provision:—The men belonging to the house shall wash their hands and face every morning- shall have their hair cut once a month—and shall besbaved twice a eek .-The like attention shall be paid to the wo- men We are sorry to state, that, of the 70th regiment of foot, 5 Captains, 6 subalterns, and 255 rank and file, have died since their arrival ia Antigua. Lord Moira left town on Friday morning, at three o'clock, for Scotland, accompanied by Lord Forbes. Lord Eardley, on passing through Windsor, on Wed- nesday last, saw a crowd collected, and -on enquiring the cause, was told that a poor clergyman's goods had been seized for a debt of 471. which his Lordship immediately paid. If all the volunteers in Great Britain, according to Mr. Yorke's enumeration, were placed in a single line, each man at eighty-three yards distant from the other, they would extend round the globe and were each man to fire- in succession, in the manner of light infantry, they would fire one round in five days, 13 hours, and 65 minutes. Excellent printing paper has recently been manufactured in America from Mulberry roots, and bags made of Guma bark. A young man, of very reputable connexion, is now in custody, charged with an enormous embezzlement in a house of great respectability. The business is said to have been discovered by a confidential clerk in the house but we forbear to state further in its present eally stage. Porter,-The quantity of this once wholesome beverage now annually consumed in the metropolis alone, is com- puted at 40,000,000 of gallons, or 160,000,000 of quarts the advance of a penny a pot upon which would make all additional profit" to the brewer of the enormous sum of 666,6661, 13s. 4d. per aim. There are no less than four crim. cm. cases to be tried in the course of the sittings after the present term. All the parties are in the circle of fashionable life, and the circum- stances which will be necessarily disclosed are of a nature singularly curious. A formal separation is shortly to take place between an actress of celebrity and her husband.—The lady is to be allowed 20,0001. for her separate use, to be disposed of as she shall think fit. Botany Bay.-Crossley and Robinson, the two noted at- tornies, have realized considerable sums of money, they having for some years divided between them nearly the whole of the legal business of the colony, in their pro- fessional way. Crossley's time of sentence having ex- s pired, and his pockets being pretty well replenished, is about to return to England, leaving the colonial field open to Robinson, whose sentence of transportation is to endure for life. Barrington is reduced to a state of idiotcy, which disqualifies him from any longer discharging the duties of high constable, and is' maintained on a pension of 601. a year, allowed him by the colony, in consideration of his services whilst capable of exertion. Tuesday, Mrs. Sowerby, wife of a respectable pawn- broker in Whitechapel, threw herself into the Bason in the Green Park, but being observed by Baron de Robeck, who was standing at his window, the corner of Clarges- street, Piccadilly, lie hastened with his servants to her assistance, and she was dragged out, and restored to ani- mation and speech when she informed them that she had drank a phial of aquafortis previous to throwing herself into the water, which proved but too true, and she expired the same evening.—Verdict, Lunacy. A circumstance of a shocking nature occurred last week at Ilolbeck, near Leeds Hannah, the wife of John Wil- kinson, of that place, clothier, having died very suddenly on Monday evening, a Coroner's Inquest was held on Thursday, when, after a patient investigation, they re- turned a verdict- of Wilful,Murder against the husband of the deceased, who was committed for trial at the next Assizes. It appeared in evidence, that on Monday morn- ing, Hannah Wilkinson, after preparing an apple pudding for the family dinner, went to a house where she was em- ployed in the neighbourhood about half-past eleven o'clock the husband took the pudding from the pot, and himself and his two children, the one about eight, and the other little more than two years old, made their dinner off part of it the remainder was placed in a drawer. About half-after twelve his wife returned home, and dined off the same dish. Having returned to her business, she was soon seized with a violent fit of vomiting, and used this re- markable expression—" Oh what has the rogue been doing with my dumpling On being asked in what state she found her food at dinner, and whether her children had eaten any, her reply was—" It was spread out upon the dish, but my children did not eat any of it with me." Her agonies, increasing, she went to her own home, where she languished till about half-past seven o'clock that even- ing, when she expired. On the body being opened by a surgeon, a portion of arsenic, sufficiently large to admit' of demonstrative proof of its nature, was found in the stomach.
