ORIGINAL POETRY. WESTMINSTER ABBEY. FROM THE NEW EDITION OF MISS MIT. FORD'S POEMS, NOW IN THE PRESS. WHERE all that strikes th' admiring eye, Is breathed for thee or victory; And bards immortal find in thee He who first raised from Gothic gloom Of his own Gloriana's reign! And he who mocked at art's controul, Shakespeare, our Shakespeare!by his side, The brightest union genius wrought, Was Garrick's voice and Shakespeare's Here Milton's heaven-strung lyre reposes! Die not whilst English tongue remains; The living light of genius' rays; Bid England's glories flash across the gloom, And catch her heroes' spirit from their tomb, SUN-SET. BY MISS MITFORD, FROM THE SAME. THE clouds disperse,-just glancing bright, Which strove all day 'twixt frown and smile, Who seeks to fix her lover's eye, It clears!-we'll rest upon the bridge, Now Now higher mount the clouds, and higher, He seems to check th' etherial race, He speeds upon the viewless wind; Then, starting back, erects her ear, 'Tis sweet to linger here, and view Sits idly at his cottage door; And plough-boys swing on farm-yard gate, And laugh and joke with heart elate; 'Whilst cackling geese quick fluttering come, But they are hushed.-the sky grows pale, NEW PUBLICATIONS IN JUNE.

Communications of Specifications and Accounts of New Patents, are earnestly solicited, and will always command early notice. abreast of each other, he places two strong beams, which he calls depressers, across the three vessels, which beams may be placed twelve or fifteen feet asunder; but equidistant from stem to stern of the boat. The loaded vessel has fixed in a strong keeison, two powerful screws, and higher as to length than her gunwales the beams, or depressers, having holes bored in the centre of them, receive the heads of the two screws; two capstans, with bars being fixed in the head of each screw, the vessel which is loaded, becomes by the action of these elevated screws gradually raised, while two beams are laid across the vessel and lightners, so that, by raising the loaded vessel, and depressing the lightners at the same time, the weight is divided on the three. When the shoals and dith culties in a river are so great in places that the lightners cannot enable the loaded vessel to pass, then he uses a number of water-troughs, called moveable weirs, of which the first is fixed with a kedge anchor on the opposite side of the river, when the vessel is to pass the shoal; and by attaching a number of these moveable weirs to each other, in a diagonal position, and by placing a tarpauling along them to prevent the escape of the water, he sinks the said weirs by weights in the river, by which means he directs the current of the river into so narrow a channel, that the increase of water will so deepen the shoal, that the vessel and apparatus will be enabled to pass the said shoal, and thereby continue her course. When the stream is too narrow for the barge, and lightners both to float, the barge may be buoyed up so as to be clear of the bot tom, when the lightners must be stranded. In this case, two iron wheels are requisite at the ends of the beams, to run in a trough affixed above the gunwales of the trough in the centre, and by securing the cable by anchor, or otherwise, the vessel may, with her windlass, be warped off by degrees. MR. WINSOR'S, (PALL-MALL), for a fixed Telegraphic Light-house, &c. for Signals and Intelligence, to serve by Night and by Day, &c. The light-house consists, first, of a plain or hollow mast, either fixed or raised, and lowered at pleasure, according to the local situation. A lauthorn, of a large size, is fastened at top, which may be furnished with lenses, and may be supplied with gas or oil, and the lights may be multiplied to any number, and arranged in different divisions above each other, so as to leave some visible space between them; for if only one row, or circle of light is given, it might, at a distance, be taken for a star: if only one row, circle, or division, of light is given, a pure gas flame or oil-lamp, should be fixed at a certain height above the lanthorn. In the present light-house, the gas burns in the form of a vane, or weather-cock, shewing the direction and variation of the wind in the darkest nights, which no rain, nor any storm, can extinguish: but the chief utility consists in the application of it for signals and telegraphic dispatches. By Mr. Winsor's invention, one central telegraph may correspond with any number of surrounding ones, by only reserving a distinct signal for preparation for each: whereas the telegraph, now in use, will only serve for one direction, or one point, in the compass, and there must be as many central ones, as there are next surrounding telegraphs. Another point is, that the telegraphic light-house is made moveable to correspond at different parts of tlic sea-coast, or any where, where no fixed telegraphs are erected; for instance, a vessel at sea in distress fires guns, or makes other sig nals of distress; a moveable telegraph may be brought by a horse and cart, nearest the opposite point, to give sig nals that relief is preparing, and to give directions of any kind to mariners in distress. The inventor says, his telegraph may be of use to armies during battle, by serving to convey orders from the commanding general to any, and the most distaut, corps, whereby time is saved, and a variety of manoeuvres can be executed against the enemy with the greatest celerity. The machine is constructed on the principle of the lazy tongs, which shut up in a cart, and is raised to any length, from thirty to sixty feet, with ease and swiftness: it may follow the general, and become more serviceable than many aide-de-camps. MR. JOHN DEAKINS, (ST. JOHN STREFT, We cannot well describe the principle of this invention without the aid of figures: the patentee attains his object by carrying the hear of a small fire, in a sort of serpentine direction, to the various parts of his range, and by this means he is enabled to perform every species of cookery, |
