41 THE POETICAL CASK. Our Readers may remember that the remains of thelatp Lord Byron were, for better- preservar tion, enelpsetl in a tub, onbeingshipped for Pug- land. This classic tub became the property of. the Captain of the vessel, the Rodney, if were- member right, in which it was brought over.— That Genfleman being well aware that ariy thing,, connected with the Noble Bard would. be eager- ly sought-after, exhibited this relic at the modest price of hfilf-a-crown and such of the dilettanti as were upt fortunate enough to obtain a view of the body Jtself, contented themselves with a peep at the precious cask, which had for so many days and nights been the sacred depository of departed greatness, Diogenes, the great philosopher, was indebted to a, tub for some portion of his immortality; and we presume that otn- great. Poet, on the same principle, is to have liis name and faT perpetuated, by the same memorial.— The prurient appetite of curiosity speedily ate. itself up, and the exhibitor of the tub, finding, that it became a rather unprofitable speculation,, ultematqly sold it at a very extravagant price to: a poetical Cooper (riot the poet Cowper"), resid- ing in Old-street, from whom it was afterwards purchased by a collector of antiques, whtt trea- sured imp with reverential respect m a museum oreuriogities, for the tenn of his natural life.—- At the demise of this Gentleman, his eifects and defects, fortunes and foibles, monies and mum- mies, caskets and cask (the Byron tub), descend- ed to his next of kin, a pork7butcher; in Shoe- lane, Tjiis Gentleman, not being smitten with the Antiquarian mania of his deceased relative, set but little value on the cabinet of curiosities of which he found himself possessed. Hercula- neutn apd Pompeii's remains he paid just as much respect to, as if they had been dag ;out from a common-place fire in the Borough of St. ^riles's. Coins of the remotest date were ex- changed,for shillings, sixpences, and eveu for half-pence; and "Loxd Byron's,tub' was baSrr; tered with t(>l;t'X¡ t!,il/69WNffr, lh'Q1\t\{i 18 dzëíi(ÇrfS; "To 'what base uses may we, at, last the present possessor, being somewhat a friend to the Muses." spared the precious reiicfroin deniolitioti, but he has converted it into A sign of his profession.

The mother of a criminal named WAKKrTf* who was hanged for cow-stealing in Armagh at the summer assizes for t733. went on the day of his execution to the house of Dr. Sherian, (the friend of Swift,) to beg towards a winding-sheet for her son's wake, according to the custoin, when some person there contributed rather liberally on: -,the occasion. On presenting their gift to the old woman, she was so elated with her success, that after giving her thanks and blessing, sho -,said My poor Johnny, (meaning' the executed felon,) always had good luck." There is a custom in Jersey which occurs for- tunately but once in Thirty years, but when it does come, it is absolute and from it there is no appeal. Certain oPficers who have the care of preserving the boundaries of land, ride round the i.slaud„and wherever they find an encroachment, they touch it with a javelin, and down the tree or building must come.

There were in. (lividails who. talked of applying to the Chancery or some other Court., to obtain justice against the Directors of the con- cerns in which they had taken shareq.- This sort of litigation would in -all proba- bility be nothing moire than "throwing good money after bad."

The principal article* m lue French pa* pers, which have been retard-ed in their af- rival for the last two days from the iticle- wtettcy of the weather, relate to a proposal, a(lilres3ed in. a note from the French Ara- bas,ador, anai)acked by the representations of the British Ambassador, to the Spanish Cabinet, soliciting it to recognise on certain Conditions the independence of the new States of South America. The British Ambassador at the sametimoottered the mediation of England. Ferdinand, how- ever, is opposed to all absolute recognition of his former colonies, though he was assur- ed that if he suffered the present opportu- nity to pass by, the new States would even- tually reject all propositions for such an ar- rangement. Letters from Paris mention that the no- ted Cacique of Poyais has cut and run. Af- ter a series of dexterous intrigues, his High- ness the Prince of the Mosquito Shore had succeeded in getting a vessel at Havre, on board of which he was very humanely ship- ping a number of deluded French families, to whom he had most bounteously dealt out extensive tracts of rich and luxuriant land in Poyais, .overflowing with inilk and honey. —The French Police, who are not, perhaps, so delicate on these subjects, as we are in Kogland, nnding that his Highness was about to add to the long list of victims lie had already made, sent to arrest him, to- gether with his Secretaries. Two of the 8 rie latter were secured; but his Highness, being informed by a servant, of what was passing, had the good luck to escape. His carriages, it would seem, were seized and sold a few days previously to this event. The King of France has made Sir Thomas Lawrence (w*ho was sent by the King of England to take his portrait} a, nresetit of ttie most beautiful productions of the manu- factory of Sevres. His Majesty has also made a present of porcelain from the safne p manufactory to the Duke de Rauzan, Am- bassador from France to the King of Portu- ,geJ, ■■ ■■ r V There is no news from Greeee of the slight- g est he siege of Missolonghi con- tinues, the beseiged conducting themselves with determined bravery, and occasionally making successful sorties. We regret to .perceive, -hovwsvfer, that a good Understand- ing is not-yet re-established,anting the Greek Cliieftains-—-dissensions and iatrignes continue, and the parties accused reciprocate charges which coHtribute to perpetuate the misunderstanding. A notice has been issued at Kingston in Jamaica, of which the following is a copy: His Majesty's Attorney-General for this island hath given it as his opinion, that neither a foreigner, nor a British subject re- siding in a foreign country, and coming thence to Jamaica, can legally bring a slave to the island, even for a time as a domestic attendant on his person; which opinion has been pronoii-need correct by the Commis- sioners of His Majesty's Customs, London." ••' "J LL..rl_Jjii -L

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Dover, dated 21st October: Tile cutter iEra, Thomas Clark master, arrived here this morning with the second mate, and 60" of the crew of the Baron of Renfrew. Clark reports that yesterday iflörlling at seven o'clock the wind blowing T«rjr ferns* ,parted m- her head cast to the east- | ward, there being a great deal of sea, nnd th^ after part of her rudder loose, the ship would not veer. At five p.m. the ship being S E. of the North Foreland about 15 miles, driving under bare poles to the south ward,.the wind N. by W' the cutter Friends Endeavour in company. The X, r-t took out Mr. Hurd, second mate, and 60 of the crew, and in effecting this the iEra's and the ship's boat were lost. The Æka staid by the ship until half-past eight p. m., when 13 she appeared to be driving towards Grave- lines, and they having near JO people on board, aud no boat, Ctark considered it ex- pedient to leave the ship, and steer for the English coast. We hope and trust the Friends Endeavour will arrive with the re- mainder of the crew. The iEra has return- ed in the directiou of the ship with two othar cutters, to render every assistance.
