JLVI I've fa:d it often, and I think lo still
Doctrine to make the million Hare !
Know then, each mortal is an actual Jove;
Can bievv what weather he thall molt
Or wind, or calm, or foul, or fair.
But here's the mifchief-—Man's an als I fay ;
Too fond of thunder, lightning, Uorm and lain;
He hides the charming, chcerful lav,
That spreads a smile o'er hill and pl«iin !
I/zik, he mufl court the fculi, and Ipade, and ftirowd—
The millrefs of his foul muff be a Cloud!
Who told him that he mull be curs'd on earth ?—
The Gon of Nature ?—N T o such thing !
Heav'n whifper'd him, the moment of his b'rth,

Yet some there arc, of men I think, the worst,
Poor imps ! unhappy, if they can't be cuis'd—
for ever brooding over Mis'ry's ?g£s,
As though, Life's pleasures were a deadly fin ;
Mousing for ever for a gin
To catch their bappinefTes by the leg!.
Ev'n at a dinner, some will be trnblef&'d,
However good the viands, and well drefs'd ;
They always come to table, with a feowl,
Squint with a face of verjuice o'er each dilli,
Fault the poor fie lb, and quarrel with the fifh,
Curse cook and wife, and, loathing, cat and growl.
A cart-load, so, their stomachs steal,
Yet swear they cannot make a meal.
I like not the blue-devil-hunting crew !
I hate to drop the difcontcnted jaw !
O let me Nature's fjrnple smile purlue,
And pick ev'n plcainrc from a ttraw ?

RIOT KING'S BENCH.
MONDAY night, there was an alarming in
furredfHon in the King's Bcnch p'rifon, an
attempt being made by the greater part of the
prisoners to escape ; much inifchief was done to
the inner part of the prison, and the outer gate
would have been forced, had not a body of horse
and foot arrived to restore order, which they
liappily effected without any bloodflied, before
eleven o'clock.
The following are fonie of the particulars of
the riot : The prisoners having dined together
as a weekly Club, were a little elevated by li
quor, and aflembling in the yard, began to mur
mur at the delay of Mr. Grey's bill refpetlitig
debtors. Some of them even threatened to ef
fect their enlargement immediately, and tliey
deputed Major Pitcairn to wait on the Mar/fral,
and request that Colonel Harrington, who has
been eight months closely confined for having at
tempted to elcape, might be as much at liberty
as thenifeives ; but instead of their desire being
complied with, Major Pitcairn was 'detained in
custody.
This circumstance added to their discontent,
and they became more clamorous and desperate ;
when the Marlhal with some afiiltants went a
niong them, and seized two or three of the ring
leaders, but was so roughly handled thac he was
obliged to retreat. The violence of the prison
ers encreafing, the Marshal and all his officers
armed, and going into the area between the two
gates, they fired two guns into the air with a de.
Jlgn of terrifying the mal-contents, who endea
voured to provoke them, and threw a ftiower of
brickbats over the wall, by which they fractured
one man's JI.-ull very dangerously, wounded feve
xal others, and obliged the whole to retire to the
top of the Keeper's house, where they could fee
Awhat was doing, without rifting their pcrfonal
fafety.
.Mr, Bowes went among the crowd and liar
rangued iheni, but as lie advised peace and good
order, lie was so ill received that he found it
prudent to defifl ; and the Marlhal feeing the
danger thicken, and tliat a general aH'ault at 11-ie
gates might probably be made, he Cent a nieflen
ger to Jjiltice Hyde, who communicated tile in
telligence to Lord Ar.iherft ; two troops of horl'e
Avere dispatched, and in about an hour afterwards
they were followed by a party of the foot guards,
who went within the walls, and drew up before
the prison, when every renionltrance and periua
lion being used to pacify the rioters, at length
the majority of the prisoners retreated to their
rooms, and the riot was fortunately quelled. A
guard of twelve foot fbldiers within, aiul about
tsvenry horse without the prison, were left liow
ver all night, and it is supposed a party of mili
tary will hcnceforwaid always be stationed there.
Ycfterday fix of the ring-leaders iu the riot
were brought into the Marihal's house, and exa
mined before Justice Hyde, when several facfis
being proved againlt them, they were committed
to tlie new gaol in the Uorounh.

of such business. He is a great dilFembler, and no doubt pretends
he is a freeman. He has been eloped so long that no description of
