IP'" . . YOU rti. Youth is the vision of a sworn, That fl es the coming day ; It is the blossom on the thorn, Which ruse winds awe‘ p away. . . 'Tis like the chaim:ug hue that glews Upon a virgin's face; Till care !lath nipp'd her fading rose, And witheed every grace. It is tke image of the sky In glassy waters seen; When not a cloud appears to fly Across the blue serene. But when the waves begin to roar: Anti lift their fuming head, The mimic stars appear no more, And ell th, heaven is fled. `Ti. fic. Tin as the paean rays Of bright electric fire; That gild the pole with sudden blaze, And in that blaze expire. And tender as the filmy threads Which in the dewy dawn, From flow'r to fluw'r Arachne spreads Wide o'er the gentle lawn. It is the mornitl;'s verdant gat. • That, as it • ly blows, Scarce seems to sigh across the vile, Or bend the blushing rose. But soon the gath'ring tempests pour, And all the sky deform ; The gale becomes the whirlwind's roar; The sigh, a raging storm. For Care and Sorrow's morbid gloom, And heart. corroding Strife, And Sickness, pointing to the tomb, Await the noots of life ! DUBLIN, SEPTPMOSR 14. Monday last the Curragh races commenced, and the weather was uncommonly fine. Nine different races took place, which attracted a numerous assem• blage of every description in society.—The different matches were well contested ; those which created most: interest were the match for the cup and 220 guineas, over the course, between Colonel Loftus's Hollyhock, and Mr. Mark Browne's English horse Pope—won by the latter ; odds at starting, two to one in favour of Hollyhock. The next was a match of considerable interest, for .500 guineas ;—lreland tag iinst England ; Mr. Bruen, county of Carlow, having wagered for that sum with Sir Wheeler Cuffe, that he would produce an English horse, which would beat any Irish-bred horse that Sir 'Wheeler should bring against him, two miles. At starting, the odds wee:• considerably in favour of Mr. Bruen's English noise, White Nose, Sir Wheeler being disappointed in procuring a horse which, in all probability, would have proved the Champion of Ireland. Slug was the horse that was beat upon this occasion, but neverthe less made a good r ice. The day's spit did not con dude until dark. The stand-house was considerably et owded with the first cbaractersin the neighbourhood. D9VER, SEPTEMBER 17. All is still alive in the neighbourhood ; the long protracted residence ,if the Royal Buckinghamshire Militia makes the town a scene of continual gaiety.— Balls, Concerts, and Card-parties follow each other in rapid Succession.

Dr. RUSSELL play ed Jobron, and Miss BAMVIELD Nell. The Ladies, who are attached to the regular drama on the Mar gate boards, played with great spirit, particularly Mrs. TAYLOR, who was a great favourite. All the flualtionables in the vicinity, and we have a prodigi ous number for such a place as this, were present, and not a few were of • titled distinction. Toe perform ances began at seven o'clock, and concluded at ele ven. -A military band played in the Orchestra.

Her name is AoxEs HAltKrlt; she is the widow of SIMON Han- Rea, aad is now at the advanced age of eighty-eight. She displays a quick discernment, has a good flow of spirits, and a retentive memory. She has had ten children, but they have all left her except the xoung• e -t daughter. Their manual employment is spin loig and knitting worsted stockings, which affords tent but a seamy subsistence. POLICE. GCTLDHALL.-.. Yesterday --- aamkrlain, the driver of one of the Bath and Bristol stages, was charged with having paid more than the standard price for gt?ineas. It being understood that consider able traffic of this kind was carried on by stage coachmen and guards, Brockwell, a Bow-street Offi cers, was induced by the Solicitor of the Mint to en deavour to detect it, and accordingly set out for Sa lisbury. He returned yesterday on the outside of the Bath coach, of which the prisoner was driver, and, in the course of the journey, he entered into conversation with him on the alledged scarcity of guineas, and expressed his surprise at having received some guineas in part payment of a sum he had just received, and intimated a wish to dispose of them to advantage. As the coach drove through Charing Cross, he pointed to a silversmith's shop, and asked the prisoner if that was not the place at which he ge nerally sold his guineas, as he was desirous of dispo sing of those he had received; the latter replied in the negative ; but said, if he wished to sell them he would give him 1 2`2s. 6d. each ; and the informant ,agreed to meet him at the Tap of the Swan with Two Necks, Lad lane, in the course of an hour.— The meeting took place accordingly, and the defen dant put chased eight, which had been previously marked. After some conversation between Mr. Al derman Wood, and Mr. Powell, the Solicitor of the Mint, as to the nature of the offence, and the law asp. plying thereto, the prisoner was admitted to bail fur further examination. C. Parson/ was charged with stealing a quantity of lace and a /CIO note, in the house of Mr. Hughes, laceman, of Wood-street. A young man who sleeps in the shop, was awakened by a noise, about eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, and perceived two men going out of the street door. He immediately pur sued them, and kept the prisener in sight till he was apprehended. A b4g, containing the lace, was picked up la the course they bad taken,.but the banknote could not be found. He was fully committed. Yesterday a foreign sailor was charged with cut ting and maiming Mr. Barnett, a baker in Hounds .ditch. Mr. Barnett said, the sailor came into his shop on Tuesday evening, and snatched up a loaf, when the witness pursued him, and a struggle took place ; both fell, and the prisoner with a razor cut the prosecutor in the head. The prisoner not being able to speak English, an interpreter was procured, who repeated to the Lord Mayor what the prisoner said, that his name was John English, that he was born in one of the Greek Islands, and spoke that language ; that having no employ, he was starving. He was fully committed upon Lord Ellenborough's Act to take his trial. BOW-STREET.—About a month since the Dublin Bank paid a forged draft to the amount of £2OO, to a young man, named Anthony O'Binns, in the employ of Messrs. Smith and Nicholson, woollen-drapers, In Dublin, and whom they had brought up from a boy, having taken him nut of the Foundling School. On I enquiry after him, it was discovered that he had ab sconded. A tradesmiin of Dublin, who was in Lon don the latter end of August last, on his return home, being informed of the forgery, and description of the young man who had uttered the forged draft, recol lected meeting with an Irishman who answered the description, at the Bull-and-Mouth Inn, Bull-and- Me-ath-strect, when he was in London, who said he was an entire stranger in London, and had lost his trunk. Information to this effect was sent from the head Police-Office in Dublin, to the Public Office, I Bow-street, on Tuesday. From this communication ' only, Adkins went in pursuit of him, traced him into I the neighbourhood of St. George's-fields, on Wed nesday atternoon, and took him into custody. In the evening he underwent an examination before Mr. Nam. at Bow.street, when he did not deny being the I man described. Adkins, on searching him, found 19 lottery shares, and notes and cash to the amount of £77. He was committed for further examination. I HATTON-GARDEN. —Yesterday five bakers in the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, were summoned by the Court Leet Jury, for selling bread short of weight, when it appearing to be the first a; ; earance of lour of them at that bar, they were fined in the mitigated penalty of Is. per oz. but the firth being an old sin ner, was mulcted in the full penalty of ss. per oz. and all the bread ordered to be given to the poor. MARLBOROUGII-STREET.-A man of the name of Rarr, a valet-de•chambre to a Gentleman of fortune (out of livery) was yesterday charged at this Office, by a re- 1 spectable tradesman in Mary-hi-bonne-street, with cri minal conversation with iris wife, under her own roofyl on Wednesday evening. The prosecutor's relation of this singular affair was as follows :—He had been given to understand, against his belief, that his rib was faithless during his absence from London, which fre tquently occurred in business, and on Wednesday he I pretended to have home for the country, in order to satisfy himself how far the report was correct. The ' lady took her evening walk about dusk, and at the corner of Wimpole-street she met the defendant, ho accompanied her back to her residence, and after I some chat at the door both walked in. In a short time after the husband saw a light in his bed-room, and no longer able to endure anxiety so painful, he got into the house, and stealing gently to the bed-room door, he was sati:fied iris rib was an unfaithful jade. 'lie door was locked, but he burst it open with fury, and beheld the defendant in the arms or his wife. The hus band attacked the unwelcome stranger a la Crib, and he made a precipitate retreat into the street, where he begged for mercy, which was administered by taking him to the watch-house. The gallant denied ever having seen the Lady until captivated by her appear ance in the street on Monday evening, and as a proof of the sudden attachment to her person, he had pre sented her with a one-podnd note. The husband sO. I lemnly protested he had every faith in his wife's virtue until he had oculardemdnstration of her guilt.—The Magistrate had no jurisdiction to punish, it beinga case at civil law, and the defendant was discharged. 1, A Coroner's inquest sat yesterday at the Goat, at Knightsbridge, on the body of J. Warfield, a team. driver, who was killed by falling under the wheels of a country waggon, at two o'clock on Tuesday mor ning, supposed to have been asleep. Verdict—Ac cidental Death.

CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE. STIRLING, SEPT. 9.—The Circuit Court of Justia ciary was opened here on Saturday last, by the Right Hon. Lord HERMAND.—Robert Cochran, sawyer in Alloa, indicted for forging and vitiating documents of debt, was outlawed for not appearing.—The Court then proceeded to the trial of Robert Brown Anderson, and James Menz;es, alias Robertson, pri soners in Stirling jail, accused of breaking into the shop of James Russell, merchant, in Grahamstown, near Falkirk, on the night of Saturday, the 23d of February last, and stealing therefrom a cask of brandy, two chests of tea, a drawer containing copper coin, and a loaf of sugar.— Jahn Burns, chengekeeper in Falkirk, Elizabeth William:, his wife, and Alexander Logan, changekeeper in Denny, were included in the same indictment, for receiving the said goods, know ing them to be stolen.

AV 11, SEPT. 12.—The Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened here, on Friday, by the Right Hon. LORD JUSTICE CLERK, and Lord ARMADALE.--The 'Court were occupied during the greater part of that day with the trial of Alexander Kerr, sen. Alexander Kerr, jun. Archibald Cook, James Nichol, and John Murphy, indicted for the crimes of assaulting and deforcing certain of the Ayr Custom house Officers. The general facts libelled were distinctly sworn to by James Campbell, tidewaiter, as affecting all the pri toners, and by John Taylor, tidewaiter, as affecting three of them, with the addition of the specific facts committed by Archibald Cook, and Alexander Kerr, jun. in knocking him down, kicking and 'trampling on him. The evidence on the part of the prosecu tion being closed, and some exculpatory witnesses examined, WILLIAM BOSWELL, Esq. Advocate-De pute, addressed the Jury in a short energetic speech, in which he maintained that it was abundantly clear, that all the prisoners bad been engaged in the smug gling, and that three of them had been guilty of the I assault and deforcement—and by JADIES FERGUSSON, Esq. senior Counsel for the prisoners, who employed such ingenuity in endeavouring to chew, that the evidence had completely felled in respect to Alexan der Kerr, sen. and John Murphy, and that it was IC• (wive as far as it related to the identifying of the I °the! three. After which his Lordship shortly sum med up the evidence, and stated, that it came com pletely home to the prisoners, Alexander Kerr, jun. Archibald Cook, and James Nichol.—The Jury re turned a verdict, on Saturday morning, of Gutty, against the above-mentioned Alexander Kerr, jun. Archibald Cook, and James Nichol ; and of Not Guilty, in the case of Alexander Kerr, sen. and John Murphy, upon which, these two last were dismissed from the Bar, with a suitable admonition from the Lord Justice Clerk, who pointed out to them, in forcible language, the illegality of smuggling, respect to the revenue and the fair trader, the guiit to which it frequently led, and the dangerous cense quences with which it wits often followed. Alexan der Ken, jun. Archibald Cook, and James Nichol, were sentenced to six months imprisonment, and to seven years banishment from Scotland. Afterwards, John Armstrong, srenetime sailor on ( board the Helena, of Workington, was brought to the Bar, accused of the crime of rape ;_ but evi dence having been adduced to identify his person during the commission of the crime, the Jury return ed a verlict of Not Guilty, and he was therefore dis missed from the Bar, alter a most feeling and im pressive admonition from Lord ARIMADALE. The Public Prosecutor not considering him , elf jes tified in proceeding with the trial of John Carr, in dicted for murder, on account of the absence of some material r.itoesses, deserted the diet pre Lao et temper:. By a late decision of the Judges, confirming that of I certain Commissioners in the north, on an appeal, taxes payable on animals, are payable not as to the species or breed, but as to the use to which they may be applied. Saturday, a respite, during pleasure, was received at Edinburgh, in favour of William Mitchell, at pro seat under sentence of death in the tolbooth there. An action brought by Miss Hannah Itodsl, late of Leeds, against Mr. Ilt).lgson, of Darlington, surgeon, for a breach of promise of marriage, stood on the cause list at Durham Assizes, and attracted a great number of people tr'n► Darlington, where it had ex cited a strong interest ; the cause, however, was never entered into, but a verdict taken for the lady..by ctm sent, for five thousand pounds, subject to a tzlerence of Court. out . .. Last week, a woman in Montrose having some lint fastened round her waist for spinning, in that state un thinkingly approached a fire, when the flames taking hold of the Int, cot= tune !ted to her clothes. R , ltl. be tore they could be extinguishel, she was so die tdfully burned, that her recovery is very tllubtful. Early on Saturday morning, the premises of N'Tr. Hall, wine and brandy merchant, in Duke-s r.-e., Lincoln's-Inn-fields, were entered by thieves, who, it is supposed, got access to the house, backward. from the stable-yard. but an alarm being given by the bark ing of a large Newfoundland dog. the villains fled without effecting their purple, ' ,except carryini e . off' a valuable window curtain. ' P dR77: ritONI A CORSESPONDENT.—We have been to often disgusted at the flimsy pictures under which selfish Politicians launch out in the praise of party feelings, and attachments, that we cannot resist the tempt:a• tion afforded by the la-x number of tl e British Re, view to extract the toll .wing observations. They are to be found in an article Mr. St rjeant tisxwono's Vindication of Fox's Hiitori, and form but a small portion of some very stiikirig pa,sages both on party politics in ge,.e:al and on Mr. Fos's Politics in par ticular When Paulin v.( c has bestowed upon an individull th se origiral gilt w:tich demur A des, tination to the no') est plop nes, his cunatty has cause to deplore the iniquitous mischance which gives his early and bloomilg tale As to the selfish intr goes 4nd narrow contests c f party.

There is something so cl.-lightful to youth is jumping into honours, and in actioiring, without de. lay or drudgery, a beardless rem wit, that we cannot wonder that the shortest road should be selected which leads to distinction. The shortest method is to fall into die ranks of some disciplined corps, aid with( i.t the knowledge necessary to :tppreciate its cause, to help to talk it into victory. The trite value of rneasta, is thus gradually lost in the contemplation of partial objects, and the tongue is suborned to celebrate feel ings in which the hes-m has no part Ths prtfessico of politics is embarked in as an :deems:ire, a specula tion of profit, not as a field cf duty and beacficence."

Comm.—The Newtonian theory, a that the Sun is . a body of fire, that its rays are asaterid, and that the Comets are designed to supply it with fuel to keep up the equilibrium of the Universe," seems very incon sistent with that beautiful simplicity which is ob served in all natural objects within the reach of man's examination. Distance, in the hand of ALMIGHTY Power, is as nothing ; and the whole phcenumersa of Light and that could be as easily produced, by nn erring Wisdom, from atmospheric Warner without ex haestion, as by material ignition. The old Philoso. phers considered the Comets merely as wanderers sts the immensity of space, but portentous of great events to all who courted their influence ; and as the pre sent Comet will shine with increased lustre on Tues.

The value of Dr. Fitrestaat's GVTTA SALVTARM has been so long proved, that nothing of the present day can bear a competition with it, in all the ditfe rent stages of a certain disease, which it effectually erres and eradicates from the habit, without exciting the painful feelings and exposure that attends saliva tion—without debilitating the constitution in any de 4ree, or even requiring confinement from business or restriction of diet. The radical virtues of these ines binal)le Drops have proved their claim to puble probation fur more than SO yeiirs. in all the debility of both sexes they prove a never-failing restorative— whether the debility is produced by, too free use of mercury, by illicit pleasures, or the effects of a warns climate To travellers and those going abroad, they cannot be recommended too strongly, as they will re ceive a safe, speedy, and complete cure, in all olp stubborn gleets, and every weakness that affects the bladder and organs of urine.
