Daisy, by yon tomb-stone growing, Drooping with the tears of morn; Let them this rude spot adorn! Much too stern and dark for thee, Better, were it not, sweet flower, In the breast of love to lie; Near that heart from whose warm bower Thou should'st win the love-lorn sigh? Better, were it not, should cherish That sweet temple of thy vow? Where thy form should never perish, But be blue and fresh as now. There thou should'st not droop nor wither. There thou should'st not brook the stormThither, lovely flower, thither, For the pulse of love is warm. No; beside the clay-cold lover, No; thou'rt near the heart that flutter'd What too oft could not be told- To the day that aye shall be. Trembling o'er him with the blast; Would she tremble for the past? Would she warm her breast unto thee? THE WISH. A Translation of a Latin Poem of Cowper. Ye morning dews and health-inspiring gales, Wild-woods and herbs, rejoicing in the vales; between, [March 1, Ye grass-crowned hills, with gushing streams UNPUBLISHED STANZAS, By LORD BYRON. [The following exquisite stanzas were addressed by Lord Byron to his Lady, a few months before their separation.] TO JESSY. There is a mystic thread of life At once must sever both or none. Have often gazed with fond delight; By day that form their joy supplies, And dreams restore it through the night. There is a voice, whose tones inspire Such thrills of rapture in my breast; I would not hear a seraph choir, Unless that voice could join the rest! There is a face, whose blushes tell Affection's tale upon the check; But pallid at one fond farewell, Proclaims more love than words can speak. There is a lip, which mine hath prest, And none had ever prest before; It vow'd to make me sweetly blest, And mine-mine only, prest it more! There is a bosom-all my own Hath pillow'd oft this aching head; A mouth-which smiles on me alone; That, pulse to pulse, responsive still, They both must heave or cease to beat. There are two souls, whose equal flow In gentle streams so calmly runThat when they part-they part!-ah, no! They cannot part-those souls are one! ANACREONTIC.

But though no more its ample shade By wondering eyes again was seen To swell with life through every pore, And bud afresh with foliage green. The wither'd branch again shall grow, Till o'er the earth its shade extendAnd this-the gift of foe to foeBecome the gift of friend to friend. INCIDENTS, PROMOTIONS, BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, DEATHS, &c. With Biographical Accounts of Distinguished Characters. Bulletin of the King's Health. "Windsor Castle, Feb. 7. "His Majesty has continued through the last month in a very tranquil and comfortable state. His Majesty's bodily health is good, but his disorder is undiminished." On the 30th of January a meeting of the most respectable attorneys and solicitors was held at the London Coffee House, N. ATCHESON, esq. in the chair, to consider of the best means of restraining the practice of conveyancing by improper and illiterate persons, amending the statutes relative to attorneys, and placing them under closer restrictions. The result was a determination to petition both Houses of Parliament on the subject. The London Law Society, with the various Law Societies now established in almost every county, are co-operating in the same laudable object. Feb. 2, a meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, under the auspices of Burdett, Cochrane, and Co. for the purpose of raising a subscription for the benefit of the persons who have been imprisoned under the late Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. Several of these worthies harangued this enlightened assembly, and about 500l. was sub scribed. On the 6th a meeting attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, nearly the whole bench of Bishops, and many of the nobility, was held at Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of forming a Society and raising a fund in aid of the intended parliamentary grant for building new churches. Feb. 7, Viscount Sidmouth exhibited articles of the peace in the Court of King's NEW MONTHLY MAG.-No, 30. 165 Bench against Arthur Thistlewood, one of the persons indicted for high treason with Watson and his coadjutors, for sending him a challenge to fight a duel. An attachment was in consequence issued against Thistlewood, who was taken into custody: the grand jury of Middlesex found a bill of in dictment, and he was committed to the Marshalsea till the last day of Term. The amount of the subscriptions for a cenotaph commemorative of the beloved and lamented Princess Charlotte already exceeds 100.000l. It has been suggested that the purposes of the subscription would be more beneficially answered by the foundation of a General Lying-in Hospital, than by any useless structure, however ornamental; and in this sentiment every feeling mind will cotdially coincide. We have had frequent occasion to express our satisfaction at the rapid increase of Saving Banks throughout every part of the kingdom, and have, by every means in our power, en deavoured to promote those invaluable institutions. The returns lately made to the House of Commons, however, represent this matter in a more flattering point of view than we had anticipated. It appears, that from the 6th of August, 1817, to the 5th of January, 1818, no less a sum than 325,0511. has been received by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, from the Trustees of the Saving Banks in Great Britain, to be applied to the purchase of stock for the subscribers. This sum has purchased 376,7831. of the three per cent. stock. The proprietors of the Golden Lane Brewery have testified their conviction of the im 166 Promotions and Appointments, Preferments, &c. propriety of the late rise in the price of porter, by reducing their charge to 54d. per pot. Though this spirited example may not be followed by the other great breweries, yet the public will not fail to appreciate it as it de serves. Of The Committee for the Relief of Distressed Seamen have published an interesting Report of their proceedings, dated Feb. 6, the general result of which is, that 1230 men have been received on board of the seven vessels granted by the Admiralty for the purpose, and supplied with the necessary clothing. these 349 have been disposed of in the navy and merchant service; 162 are on board the Dromedary, appropriated exclusively to the sick; 711 remain on board the other receiving ships; 3 have been sent on shore for misconduct, and 5 have died. The Committee acknowledge the prompt attention which has been paid to their applications to the Admiralty for vessels, stores, and medicines; and the receipt of 300 suits of clothing from the Secretary of State for the home department. The subscription at the above. mentioned date was nearly 14,000l. and the monthly expenditure of the establishment 1000l. exclusive of clothes, bedding, and ship-chandlery.

In the establishment of the Penitentiary and Lock Asylum he was the zealous coadjutor of its indefatigable chairman, and its funds have been from time to time liberally augmented by his means-indeed, his charity knew no bounds but in the limits of his fortune. As a soldier, a subject, a magistrate, and a Christian, he was an example of valour and loyalty, of justice and devotion. DR. THOMAS COGAN. Died, at the house of his brother, the Rev. E. Cogan, at Higham Hill, near London, THOMAS COGAN, M. D. 82. This gentleman was in early life a dissenting minister, but preached only a few times and relin quished the profession for that of physic, which he studied at the university of Leyden. Previously to his removal to Holland he first suggested the plan of the Royal Humane Society, and was, with the late Dr. Hawes, one of the first promoters of that excellent institution. During his residence in Holland, where he practised for many years, he married a lady of good fortune. On his return to England he devoted himself chiefly to the obstetric branch of his profession; but having no family, and having acquired sufficient property to satisfy his moderate desires, he relinquished his connexion in favour of Dr. John Sims, who is so eminent in the same line. Since that period he has devoted his time chiefly to the study of moral philosophy, on which subject his works are justly considered equal to any in the language. He re [March 1, sided several years at Bath, where the first volumes of his philosophical disquisitions were published. During this period he was an active member of the Bath Agricultural Society, and zealously assisted Sir Benjamin Hobhouse, Mr. B. Dawson, Mr Wansey, and other philanthropic characters, in the formation of a Humane Society in that city. Dr. Cogan was reputed to be the author of "The History of John Buncle, jun." and published under his own name :- " Dissertatio de Pathematum Animi vi et modo agendi," (Ludg. Bat.) 4to. 1767" Memoirs of the Society instituted at Amsterdam in favour of Drowned Persons, from 1761 to 1771," 8vo. 1773-" Philosophical Survey of the Creation"-" Journey from Utrecht to Frankfort, chiefly by the Borders of the Rhine, in 1791-2," 2 vols. 8vo. 1795"The Works of the late Prof. Camper, on the Connexion between the Science of Anatomy and the Arts of Drawing, Painting, Statuary, &c." 4to. 1794-" A Philosophical Treatise on the Passions," 2 vols. 8vo. 1807, to which a 3d volume has since been added Theological Disquisitions on the Characteristic Excellencies of Christianity," svo. 1812. MARQUIS OF ABERCORN. Died, at Bentley Priory, Stanmore, JoHN JAMES HAMILTON, Marquis of ABERCORN, and Viscount Hamilton, in Leicestershire, Earl of Abercorn, Baron of Paisley, Abercorn, Hamilton, Mountcastle, and Kilpatrick in Scotland; Viscount Strabane, Baron of Strabane, and Mountcastle in Ireland, K.G. a privy counsellor in Ireland, and a governor of the counties of Donegal and Tyrone. His lordship, the only son of the Hon John Ha. milton, second son of the 7th Earl of Abercorn, by Harriet, natural daughter of James Craggs, secretary of state to George I., was born in 1750, and succeeded his uncle James, the 8th earl, in 1789. He married, in 1779, Catherine, daughter of Sir John Copley, bart. By this lady, who died in 1791, he had two sons, James, viscount Hamilton, and Claude, both deceased, and three daughters, only one of whom, Maria, survives him. In 1792 the marquis took for his second wife, his first cousin, Lady Cecil Hamilton, eighth daughter of the Hon, and Rev. George Hamilton, to whom his Majesty granted the precedence of an earl's daughter. This union was dissolved by act of parliament in 1798, in consequence of an intrigue between the marchioness and Captain, now Sir Joseph, Copley, brother to the first wife of the marquis. In 1800 he married, thirdly, Lady Anne Hatton, eldest daughter of the second Earl of Arran, and widow of Henry Hatton, esq. of Great Clonard, Wexford. His lordship is succeeded in his titles by his grandson, the infant child of Viscount Hamilton, born in 1811. His mother, the eldest daughter of the Hon. John Douglas, brother to the |
