F ROM the age of old Adam the horse has been made The painter's delight and the poet's bright theme; Each faculty prais'd, and extoll'd to the fkiesFrom his hoofs to his haunches, his ears and his eyes, By fculptors in granite and marble array'd. And with heroes recorded by fame. E'en kings to the horse have their patronage granted, From the horse that the hero of Macedon bore Now, doom'd in his age to perpetual toil, But, from fringes of gold, and from trappings of state, S.

We are happy to have feveral anecdotes to relate of an oppofite tendency.

He was told that his abfence was attributable to the want of his horfes, which the derangement of his finances had compelled him to fell.-Oh! anfwered the K-tell him he must come no hunt without H-; no hunt without HThe next hunting day, the nobleman to whom this had been reported, appeared on a borrowed steed; but was prevented from again having recourfe to his friends, by a prefent of 1000l. given him by his M- to buy a horfe. To another nobleman in diftrefs his M- is faid to have prefented a fum of three times that amount. An inflance of his feeling may also be drawn from the commiferation he expreffes for the firft city magiftrates, when relating the circumstances of his firft vifit to St. Pauls. "It was a very bad day-a very bad indeed. And there was the poor dear Lord Mayor on one of my caft horses with the rain pouring down upon his fine cloak and wig.

ROSE and BURGESS, two celebrated directors of the Minifterial Journals, and occafionally given to writing in them, meet and lament the death of MARAT. The one regrets the mifchief which their caufe may fuftain by his untimely lofs; the other confoling himself with the memory of the good he has already done it, decrees him immortal honours. ROSE.

Oily Chief of Men! This introductory addrefs from the Secretary to his poetical comrade is highly interesting; and principally fo because it brings the reader acquainted at once with the various avocations of that very diftinguished character.

We truft that the doubts which have arifen with refpect to the original purfuits of the Under-Secretary, will be now entirely done away by this decifive teftimony of his friend and companion. Oily Chief of Men.] A very poetical phrafe for an eminent oilman! The expreffion is Greek. Mr. Rose feems on this occafion to have had in his eye the 'Avas ardeur of Homer. Some indeed, have attributed the whole of thefe two lines to Lord BELGRAVE. Apt Apt is the time, illuftrious is the theme, BURGFSS. 10 MAWBEY, bafe loon! dare he with me contend?

Our author by no means conceives himself confined by his fubject to the DAPHNIS, although he has imitated that work in the conftruction of his Poem. Accordingly we may obferve, that in this place he makes a sudden tranfition to the beautiful verses of VIRGIL on the death of PALLAS, in the eleventh Æneid.
