Loveliest of Women,

"In Belvidera, Isabella, Juliet, and Calista, I have admired you until my fancy threatened to burst, and the strings of my imagination were ready to crack to pieces; but, as Mrs. Siddons, I love you to madness, and until my heart and soul are overwhelmed with fondness and desire---say not that time has placed any difference in years between you and me. The youths of her day saw no wrinkles upon the brow of Ninon De L'Enclos. It is for vulgar souls alone to grow old; but you shall flourish in eternal youth, amidst the war of eleinents and the crush of worlds."

May 2, Barley Mow, Salisbury-square.”

A letter from Calais, of the 30th of May, has the following particulars in allusion to the Invasion:

"We are ready as soon as Buonaparte shall command us. We will not even wait for winds to waft us over. Achilles, and fifty Grecian Kings, might have such patience; but we have greater designs, which we will accomplish in spite of winds and waves, and 50,000 English Militia. To prove this, look at our hussars with oars in their hands, defying the English vessels; while sailors on the beach learn the use of arms! It seems as if they had changed profes sions! By this metamorphose we have doubled our forces by sea and land. The army and fleet, clectrified by the genius of one great man, have lost all distinctions. You see a dragoon at the top-mast head, while a sailor is cleaning pistols below!"

TITLES OF THE NEW EMPEROR.-Napoleone Buonaparte, Native of Corsica, Member of the National Institute, a Christian in Europe, and Maho medan in Africa; Murderer of Turks in Prison, and Frenchmen in Hospitals & Locum Tenens of the injured Sovereign of France, Duke of Brabant, King of Lombardy, Dictator to the German Princes, President of Switzerland, Stadtholder of Holland, Tutor to the King of Spain, and the Terror of all good men, &c. &c.

In the Tribunate, besides Carnot, are twenty-two other regicides, who have voted a throne for Buonaparte, after voting a scaffold for Louis XVI. In the Senate, besides Sieyes, Gregoire, and Fouché, are sixteen other regicides, who have exalted Bonaparte to a throne, after murdering Louis XVI. upon a scaffold; who have banished as a criminal the most virtuous of Sovereigns, and who have taken home, as a Sovereign, the most criminal of foreigners.

SINGULAR BURIAL.-The simple burial ceremony of the Duke of Saxe Gotha, took place on the night of the 25th of April, according to the wish he expressed in his will. The grave was dug on the island, in the English garden, at the foot of those of his two deceased children. The false glitter so ill-becoming such an occasion, was entirely laid aside. The reigning Duchess, with her child on her arm, had the evening before strewed flowers in and round the grave. The midnight hour struck, when the body entered the garden, carried by the servants of the late Duke. The walk to the island was laid with black

cloth, with the boat that carried it over. A dark but quiet night favoured this melancholy performance. The ceremony was only interrupted by the sighs and by the tears of all present, which ran in abundance on the coffin. The grave had been dug by the late Duke's courtiers, and was filled by the hands of the members

of his Highness's family. Prince Frederick planted a tree on the grave. No drums were beating, no sermon was pronounced, no cannons were fired, no bells were tolled.

One of the greatest prodigies at present in this kingdom is Mr. Samuel Lambert, of Leicester, who is of the enormous weight of forty-six stone twelve pounds, which is about half a hundred weight heavier than the famous Bright, of Malden, in Essex, who had seven men buttoned up in his waistcoat. Mr. Lambert is very active in all the sports or the field, and noted as a very famous feeder of cocks.
