ANIMERNNR!lp--1 1 1' I'.11 I1! ■ TO THE NEW YEAR. BY MRS. M'MUIXAN. Thou art not drest in Spring's reviving hue Nor Summer drapery of etherial blue Aurumn's rich mantle is not on thy form;- But winter hails thee from the halls of storm. War's sounding bugle wakes no echoing strain, But Peace salutes thee on the whiten'd plain! In seothing carols breathett her grateful vow, And weaves an olive chaplet for thy brow. Then come, mild Spirit of the New-born Year, Banish each sigh, and dry Misfortune's tear. Give Hope's lair visions to the anxious breast, Tiring present joy, and be in future blest. Let not the traces of thy rapid flight Stain Britain's day-star with the gloom of night— Let not the garland of the peasant's mirth Become dark cypress on his lowly hearth- Let not thy memory be in grief obscured, Nor tiiy events in misery immured. Thy predecessor Riark'd his dreary reign With deepest anguish, and with hopeless pain Reft from Britannia's crown the brightest gem, And pluck'd the sale leaf from the parent-stem; Veil'd Hope's warm wishes in a murky cloud, Till to Despair each sweet expectance bowed Come, then, though cradled on a mount of snow, Though ice-wrought arrows and a frozen bow Attend thy birth, yet may thy hours swift wing Ileal wintry sadness with the smile of Spring Blest by the rich, and welcomed by the poor, Promise of joy to Britain's land restore. Let not young Love, nor frighten'd Friendship think Thy hand will wither every sacred link. If in the heart one form beloved is kept, If o'er one hallow'd name true love has ewpt, I If o'sr one relic midnight tears are shed, j If from the soul earth's dearest bliss has fled- Oh bring a solace from the fount above,- A balm extracted from Elysian love Time swift ambassador, 'twixt God and man, Design's great parent, soul of ev'ry plan, Thy periods from the birth-day to the grave Successive follow as the restless wave Breaks into liquid fragments on the shore, Then mingles with the ocean as before i iijjSo*
THE REFORMATION.
THE REFORMATION. The third centenary of the Reformation was ce- lebrated on Wednesday by a Meeting of Protestant y 11 Christians at the City of London Tavern. There were more than 1500 persons present. The fol- lowing are the interesting particulars of this en- lightened meeting:— The Rev. Dr. Coll-yer rose between tvrslve and one o'clock, and stated to the meeting that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex had been ex- pected to arrive at a quarter before twelve. The state of the weather, he was convinced, was the cause of the disappointment which had been ex- perienced. Alter some time had elapsed, the Rev. Mr. Simeon, of Cambridge, wa3 called to the chair. Mr. Simeon, in a short speech, expressed his thanks for the honour done him. The Rev. Mr. Cox, of Hackney, rose to move the first resolution, expressing the right of every man to worship God according to his conscience.- Nothing cool be more remote, from the views of the committee, than to promote any thing like party feelings by the notice which had been given Qf this meeting through the medium of the news- papers. Their cause wis indeed truly popular; but he wished to be regarded as only, in that meet- ing, advoealing. human rights, in so far as these rights involved freedom ot conscience. That free- dom was the true principle of the Reformation and Protestanisra. He concluded by moving the first resolution. Mr. J. Young seconded the resolution. The Duke oi Sussex now entered the room amid the loudest shouts of applause, took the chair, and thus apologized for his coming at so late an hour— His carriage had broken down under him, he trusted he shoul not break down in this cause. (Shouts of applausf.) He felt much gratified by the com- pliment ot being called to preside at that meeting, as its objects concerned the best interests of the country, of religion, and of mankind. (Applause ) Dr. Collyer then moved the second resolution, declaring that religion was not intended for an engine of state. Religion had her seat in the heart, her sway in the conscience, and her opera- tions in the whole conduct of life. No injury .) (I ry could be offered to conscience without injustice and mischief. The Reformation taught men to declare all their doctrines, and all the arguments that supported them from scripture. The variety in all the rest of God's works proved that variety in religious opinion wis not unpleasing to the Deity. (Applazese) True religion was like the sun, the source of light and purity; It exhaled fragrance and health it illuminated things base and mean it imparted part of its own splendour to all beneath its influence; it was powerful and vital in its ope- ratioij it received contamination from none. Mr. Henry Weymouth moved the third resolu- tion, That the Scriptures, as the only fountain of religion, pught to be accessible to all." The Rev. Mr. O'Donaghue, a Minister of the Established Church, seconded the third resolution. John Mackenzie, Esq. moved the fourth resolu- tion, against all authoritative expositions of Scrip- ture. He felt a more than ordinary interest in the object of the meeting, as it originated in a conver- sation he had had with Mr. Cox. The Bereans I were more noble than others, because they searched the Scriptures for proof even of Apostolic assertions. Whoever took opinions at second-hand had an ignoble abject mind. (Applause.) Dr. Rippon moved the fifth resolution,expressing, that the violation of those principles caused multi- tudinous evils. The Rev. Mr. Vowls moved the sixth resolution, and represented, by strong rhetorical figures, the fascinations, the delusions, and the impositions of the Romish superstition. John Wiiks, E^q. moved the seventh resolution, expressive of grateful remembrance of Wickliff, Jerome, and Huss. The Rev. Dr. Ntwman moved the eighth resolu- tion, purporting, that the object of the meeting was to celebrate the tricentenial period of the Reforma- tion of 1517. The Rev. Thomas Styles and Alexander Fletcher explained the ninth resolution, which enumerated the political and social benefits that resulted from the Reformation, though they had not yet attained that state which piety can desire and philanthropy approve. < Mr. Ivemy moved trie tenth resolution, ranking Luther and his associates in the Reformation as great among the greatest of mankind. I His Royal Highness having repeatedly requested greater brevity, now directed that the five remaining resolutions should be moved at once. Mr.'Davies accordingly moved five resolutions, the 11th commemorating Knox, Tindale, Latimer, and oilier martyrs the 12th rejoicing in the similar respect for the Reformation proclaimed in Ger- nmiiv- and the li5fh exhorting European and Anreri'-au I'rotestjnts to guard the principles of the Rruinnation now that monastic institutions and d:r.< f«u% societies were revived, and inquisi- tions were co::tiuu-?'i,or re-established; the eleventh and fifteenth deprecating persecutions and uncha- riubieii"rs. The R"V. Jams* Tnwnscnu seconded these reso- lutions -Mi I aniio«.dverte<! on the ingratitude of the I Pope, a'jd '.as v»*iu of gramude and good faith in Louis XVIII. who not only refused to protect, but persecuted Protestants, though the Protestants of England (not with Mr.Townsend's approbation) re- stored them. (Great applause.) Those several resolutions were carried with ac- clamations. The Rev. Mathew Wilks, who called himself a poor old man, moved the 16th resolution, expres- sing thanks to the Royal Chairman, and amused the assembly with his very eccentric and antithe- tical mode of representing his Royal Highness. He said his Royal Highness's father made no dis- tinction among his servants for their religious opinions. As an instance he mentioned, that his Majesty had a coachman, called Daddy Sanders, who was a methodist, and on seeing him after he had left his service, driving a coach, said, "Sanders, How do ye do?" Mr. Friend, in seconding the motion, said, his Royal Highness studied the Scriptures in the ori- ginal Hebrew, and thus by his example encouraged the knowledge of them. The motion was carried with thf rapturous ap- plauses of the meeting, which still continued very crowded. The Duke of Sussex expressed his gratification at the honour which had been done him, though for whatever had been done, the meeting had to thank themselves, not him; for he always consi- dered it his duty to attend wherever it appeared his presence would be advantageous to the public interest. When he was applied to by the Com- mittee, his first object was to examine the reso- lutions; for he felt that when one of the Royal Family came forward and presided on such an occasion as this, it gave a certain sanction to the proceedings. He had accordingly well weighed the resolutions, and he could declare that he heartily approved of them. If in any discussion which might arise, the proceedings of that meeting should be blamed, he would treat the censure with contempt. It had been well said, that' the Bill of Settlement was a part of the principles of the Re- formation. By that Act his family had been called to the Throne: he said called—not put upon it; tor it was upon the ground of mutual advantage they came to this country; and upon that basis the compact between the Sovereign and the subject rests.' (Applause.) When he was called uPQu to give his opinion on such an occasion as this, it was always his wis,h to state that opinion freely and openly. He would ask, could there have been that feeling of independence, that practical freedom which now existed, had it not been for the Reform- atioii ? There had been, it was true, opposition to Sovereigns in Catholic times, but the true principle of resistance, founded on the just rights of the people, never acquired any consistency until after the Reformation. That great event awakened men's minds; and the institution which interposed a shield for the protection of the innocent, was the great security of civil and religious liberty.— {(Applause.) It would be recollected, that when his Sovereign ascended the Throne, in the first speech he addressed to the Parliament, he de- clared that, having been born a Briton, he was proud of the name of a Briton. And he was justly proud of that name, for with it was connected his own, as Sovereign, of a great and independent people. To be called the King of such a. nation is far more glorious than to be called Autocrat, Em- peror, or any other title which man can assume. (Applause.) Through life his Majesty had pre. served those principles which he avowed on ascend- ing the Throne; and tti had, in return, been [ rewarded by the constitutional support of a loyal people. (Appiause.) In his attendance on the present Meeting, he had been highly pleased and gratified; he had also received much information for he had heard many truths in that place which did not easily find their way to a Court. IT any attack on the proceedings of the Meeting should come from amy dissatisfied individual, he, for his parr, would disregard it. All unjust insinuations he should despise, and leave to time to prove their falsehood. (Great applause.) While he supported the rights of the people, he should always at the same time resist all undue encroachments on the Throne. They had heard of an association of Sovereigns," called the Holy Alliance; but if there was to be such a union of Courts, he trusted there would also be a holy alliance of nations, which was more likely to prove favourable to the peace and happiness of the human race; and he, being a peaceable disposed man. would wish to give all the support he could to the latter alliance. The Meeting broke up about tive o'clock. Isle of Man,$c.—It is essential to the safety of shipping, and therefore of importance to all persons interested in the trade to and about the Isle of Man, that mariners should be accurately acquainted with the bank or banks which appear to have lately grown up between that Island and the coast of Cumberland. In the year 1816, it was announced, that Mr. It. Coulthard, of the Bee trawl-boar, of Whitehaven, had discovered a shoal of about three I or three and a half fathoms, at low water, spring- tides, from the least water upon which St. Bee's Head bore, by compass, E. half N. and Red Brows, near Ramsay, W. N. W. and which has therefore been inserted in the charts, bearing, in a true di- rection, nearly east from Ramsay Bay, and nearly in a line with the Bahama Bank. In June, 1817, from some remarks made, and soundings taken by Mr. W. Porter, Master in the Royal Navy, and Mr. Todd, Teacher of Mathematics, Whitehaven, it appears also, that a bank lies to the eastward of that called King William's Sand. This is about coo yards in length, north and south by compass, by SCO in breadth. It has only ten feet over it at low water of spring-tides, and lies in lat. 54 deg. 26 min. 12 sec. with Burrow Head N. 16 W. Maughrald's Head S. 78 deg. 44 min. W. and Douglas Head S. 71 deg. W. by compass. Interesting Anecdote of a Pointer, from Britisk Field SportSy Part 111. just publishcd.-On the ap- proach of the shooting season, it is, common, both in town and country, to see staunch pointers ad- vertiscd at the price of ten guineas but in a coun- try like ours, high qualification will ever command a high price,-—a thing perfectly in the natural course. An eminent example of this, was the sale of Colonel Thornton's pointer Dash, which had in him a close cross of the fox hound, to the late Sir Richard Symons, for one hundred and sixty pounds worth of Champaign and Burgundy, purchased at the sale of the French Ambassador; one hogshead of claret, an elegant gun, and another pointer; with the condition annexed, that, in case of any accident befalling the dog, rendering him unfit for service, he should be returned to the seller, at the price of fifty guineas. This really happened Dash accidentally breaking his leg, was returned to his former master, who considered him in that state a great acquisition as a stallion. Dash was the Eclipse of pointers, his natural instinct being so superior, and his scent so fine, that without any ne- cessity of quartering or hunting over his ground, I he was in the constant habit of marching direct up to his birds! He was besides wonderfully steady I in backing other dogs. As a proof too of the high perfection of training of which the pointer is sus- ceptible in- able hands: Pluto and Juno, the pro- perty of Colonel Thornton, were sketched in the field for theiif portraits, whilst pointing, by the late Mr. Gilpin, both of them steadily keeping their 0 point, during upwards of an hour and a quarter, until the sketches were finished. &ur Venerable Monarch. The order of the Em- peror of Russia to his clergy not to utter any praises of him in their sermons, &c. reminds us of an anecdote respecting our excellent Monarch.- Our good old King," as he is universally and most 6 justly stiled, soon after his accession to the Throne, attending divine service in his chapel at St. James's, was eulogized by the preacher in his sermon, much in the same manner as the Emperor of Russia had been on the occasion alluded to, and therefore he next day sent a message to the minister, which should be written in letters of gold, as a lesson for Kings as well as ministers, apprising him that" he went to church to hear God praised, and not him- self," and desiring him to forbare in future from such improper topics.-Loildon Packet. M. Benvenuti of Florence has invented a ma- chine, by means of which any person, though un- acquainted with drawing, is enabled to copy paint. ings in oil or fresco, and even to trace the contour of statues and other round bodies, either of the na- tural size or reduced to one twelfth. This machine, which is far superior to the pantograph, will be I particularly useful for frescoes: it is even asserted that in this department it will do as much in one day as formerly required the labour of a month. I It appears from the experiments of Messrs. D. Wheeler and Company, that by exposing common malt to the temperature of about 430 degrees of malt to the temperature of about 430 degrees of Fahrenheit, in close vessels, it acquires a dark cho- colate brown colour, and becomes so soluble in either hot or cold water, that when it is mixed with pale malt, in the proportion of 1-30th, it commu- nicates to the liquor the perfect colour and flavour of porter. A patent has been taken out for this method of drying and preparing malt. .y An ingenious instrument has lately been ex- amined by a number of gentlemen in Glasgow,— The following is a certificate of its usefulness:— Mr. Hunter, of Edinburgh, has invented an in- strument which is of great importance to the navi- gator. From two altitudes of the sun, and the in- terval of time between the observations, he can de- termine, within five minutes after the second ob- servation, the latitude of the place, the hour from noon, and the variation of th6 compass. Accord- ing to the common form of calculation for double altitudes, the latitude by account is supposed to be known, which, in the use of this instrument, is not necessary. I have tried it in several examples, and always found the results very near the truth.—If a vessel was driven from her course by storms or by currents, if the reckoning was altogether lost, and the mariner could not get a meridian observation, with this instrument and a chronometer, he could, in a few minutes after a second observation, ascer- tain his position on the ocean with accuracy. An invention of so much utility in navigation is worthy of encouragement from those concerned in the com- merce of the country." Most singular Trial.-At the Guernsey Court Royal, the 6th December, 1817, Margaret Mack- enzie, of the town and parish of St. Pierre-Port, a prisoner in the public gaol was brought before the Court to receive sentence. The crime of which she was convicted was, that she did feloniously kill a male infant, which the said Mary Mackenzie was delivered of, between the hours of nine o'clock, on the evening of the 16th October, and of nine o'clock in the morning of the 17th October, 1817, in the house of John jeremie, Esq. where the said' Mackenzie lived as servant, in the town of St. Peter's-I'ort, the said Mackenzie having concealed her pregnancy. Thi« day at 12 o'clock precisely the sentence passed upon her was put in execution in the manner followingThe prisoner was con- ducted from the prison to the Court House, be- tween the Halberdiers, and in one of the lower rooms she was stripped barefoot, and cioathed it; a white shift, made for the occasion she was bare- headed, and from that room was led up stairs to the door of the Court where she received from the hangman (L'executcllre des haajes mivres) a lighted candle, weighing two pounds, and two feet long, 0 el made expressly for the purpose. Thus equipped, she presented herself at the bar of the Court, and falling on her knees, she asked pardon for her crimes in these words—I ash pardon of God, the King, and of Justice. An immense crowd of people were present, who came from all parts of Guernsey to witness so novel a spectacle. Extraordinary Miser.—Died, Dec. 22^at Dundee aged 66, Thomas Clark, a labouring man who, by dint of parsimony and saving, had accumulated property to the amount of 8001. to 10001. We have heard much these two last years of the suf- ferings of the lower orders from poverty and want- but there are perhaps few authenticated instances of endurance which this person did not voluntarily submit to, in order to gratify his ruling passion. He lived by himself, in a garret, situate in a filthy lane, called Tyndal's Wynd. His diet consisted uf a little oatmeal, stirred about amongst some water, which he begged from some one or other of the neighbours every morning, to save the expence of fuel. For many years he had laboured under a painful disorder; but could not find in his heart to put himself under the care of a surgeon, fearful of the cost. Driven at last to desperation by the in- tenseness of his sufferings he, about twelve months ago, sent for Mr. Crichton, who found him lying, in the most inclement season of the year, barelv covered by an olcf tattered blanket. The furniture of the apartment consisted of about a dozen pairs of old shoes, some old tattered clothes, a plough- share, a wooden dish, and horn spoon, a. pair of scales and weights, a tub for holding meal, and an old crazy chair.—Clark's disorder having been as- certained to be stone in the bladder, he was told that a surgical operation wouly he necessary for his relief. This he; expressed the utmost willingness to undergo; but when informed it would also be necessary to have him removed to a comfortable room, &c. his heart died within him; and he said he must just then continue as he was, until death relieved him. In vain was he told that every thing needful would be provided. He still persevered ,I in his determination. Leaving a trifle with him to procure necessaries, Mr. Crichton descended from the garret and made inquiry of the neighbours concerning this miserable object; from whom he received the account above narrated. Possessed of this information, he returned and rated the wretch for his miserable disposition; but all that could be obtained, was a promise to procure some bed clothes, and to allow the operation to be per- formed in a room belonging to one of the neigh- bours, and immediately after to be hoisted back to his own roost. The first morning after the operation he was found quarrelling and abusing the old woman left in charge of him, for her extravagance in making use of soap to wash the cloths that were occasion- ally taken from under him; and he expressed great exultation when she was given to understand that soap was not absolutely necessary for the purpose. A dose of castor oil that had been prescribed for him, he would not allow to be sent for; but in its place swallowed a piece of soap, which, he said, would answer the purpose equally well, and at much less cost. The cure going on well, he was ordered some beef tea. The parting with 3d. every morning to purchase half a pound of meat, was perfect torture. But recollecting a piece of old rusty bacon, which he had formerly pinked up somewhere in his travels, he thought of the expe dient of converting a piece of it into beef tea, and drank it with seeming relish. Next morning, how- ever, the old woman, alarmed for the cmisequences, insisted peremptorily for money to purchase fresh teas, at the same time acquainted him that a supply of coals was necessary. •" The coal's con- sumed already Impossible!" They should have served him for the winter! She must have carried off some of them Threepence for meat and 18d. for coals It's ruination She must pack off im- mediately! But before she goes she must account for the 2s. received on the day of the operation The poor woman being somewhat confused, could not bring to her recollection the disposal of more than Is. lOd. It was then perfectly plain she was robbing his room, and ruining him by her extra- vagance, and she must go to prison By this time the garret was filled by the neighbours, alarmed at his noisy vociferation and nothing they could say having pacified him, they sent for Mr. Crichton, whp thought it might Vti the wisest plan to leave him alone, and let him manage and feed himself in his own way. By the help of a good constitution, he sooa recovered his health, but never afterwards could forget the expenses he had been put to during his confinement. The failure also of some people holding^ioney of his in their hands, tended much to embitter the remainder of his life; and he was often observed lamenting his misfortunes— frequently saying aloud, "All bankrupts should be hanged There would be no end to the detail of of this poor creature's miserable eccentricities. On Thursday fortnight (a most bitter cold day) he went into one of the neighbour's rooms to warm himself, before ascending to his roost. Next day he was found lying almost stiff with cold, and unable to move himselt-the bed clothes, which he had made to provide himself with last year, lying folded up in a corner, as he had not the heart to use thera. On Sunday he lost the use of his facul- ties, and on Monday he breathed his last. His only surviving sister, a poor old woman, living somewhere in Strathmore, inherits all his property. Agricultural Report for December.—In the most backward districts of England, as well as Scotland, considerable breadths of oats, of the last crop, were still abroad in the middle of the present month; and, for the two last seasons, November has been the chief harvest-month in many parts. The market prices, so near to Christmas, and the ge- neral condition of the samples, now fully confirm the fact of some inferiority in the crop to the first sanguine expectation. Peas, of both kinds, and oats, are supposed to exceed an average crop;- beans not to rise to three-fourths. Corn is in great request in some counties. The wheat seed has been exceedingly well, although late got in, and sowing will partly continue until after Christmas. The young wheats were never more forward, and the drilled and dibbled have a most beautiful and luxuriant appearance; but upon clover leys, a hazardous tilth for wheat in mild winters, tfie slug h is already made ravages. The breadth of wheat sown is extraordinary. Potatoes, reported from the west, not equal to expectation. Fat stock lower; all stores dearer (pigs excepted) from the vast abundance of keep, both roots and green crops. Wools, still a rising market. Great complaints of the rot in sheep, which, it is probable, for the greater part, originates in our defective system of sheep husbandry; too many of our country people being more solicitous to cure the rot in their sheep by quackery, than to prevent it by care. Milch cows sell well, and at advanced prices. Vast sup- plies, weekly, from the opposite continent, of French eggs, hams, poultry, &c.; and the imports of apples from the United States have been to a great amount. Parish Settlement.—A poor old woman, said ori- ginally to belong to AyfeShire, was taken ill a few days ago at St. Ninian'tIt and, upon a Justice of Peace warrant, was sent back to be forwarded and supported from parish to parish, tH) she might reach her home, by Denny, Cumberland, Chryston, Barony, Glasgow, and Gorbals. The Gorbals people sent her to Cathcart, about five o'clock at night. When she was carried in from the cart, she asked a drink of water. Mrs. Dempster, the schoolmaster's wife, a woman of exemplary htJ- manity, brought her some warm broth, which she drank up very eagerly, but soon thereafter became uneasy, and seemed inclined to throw up. Her uneasiness increased, and having uttered several heavy groans, in iess than bait an hour she ex- pired. There is no reason to doubt that this poor creature's days have been abridged by the tn. judicious and precipitate manner in which she has been hurried about from place to place during this most inclement weather.—Edingburgh paper.
