r THE MUFFLED DRUM. Lit roe! how sorrowful and slow, With arms revered, the soldiers came—. g trumpets, full of woe, A:id, ad to bear, the Muft.ll Drum! Advanciiig to the House of Pray'r, Still qadder Bows the doiesome strain; E'en Industry forgets her care, And joins the melancholy train! 0 er all the tolls of war, • How blest the brave nan lays him down! bier is a triumphal car— His grave is—glory and renown ! What rho' nor friends nor kindred dear, To grace his obsequies, attend! His comrades are his brothers here, And ev'ry• hero is his friend ! See Love and 'Frutli, all woe-begone, And Beauty drooping in the crowd--• Their thoughts intent on him alone, Who sleeps for ever in his shroud ! AT:Cr, the trumpet slowly sounds The Soldier's last funereal Hymn— k;ain the Muffled Drum rebounds, And ev'ry eye with grief is dim ! The gen'rous sued, which late be rode, Seems, too, its etas: er to deplore; And follows to his last abode The warrior—who returns no more! For him, far hence, a mother sighs, And tarciec comforts yet to come ! He'll never bless her longing eyes— She'll only hear the Muffled Drum! J. DIAVNE., Captain BAnn. AT, of walking celebrity, lately drove the mail-coach the whole way from London to Perth, without any intermission or rest. On his arrival at Perth, he set off to walk 17 miles farther, to the place of his destination. Mumma !—A barbarous murder was committed near Ballinrore, (Ireland) on Monday se'nnight —A mend•cant, in a sailor's dress, came into Ballinrore, on Monday.' from Castlebar, seemingly deprived of the use of one hand, accompanied h; his wife and infant, soliciting charity; about nine o'clock they left the town to return to a village, called Rahoreen ; shortly after the man stabled his wife in her belly, and inflicted a wound sufficiently large to allow her bowels to fall out ; afterwards he returned to the nearest house on the road, and said that two men had attempted to violate his wife, and, being unable to succeed, murdered her. Several people gathered to where the woman was, and considering the conduct of the man suspicious, they looked for him, for the purpose of securing him. Finding that, he made off, but was pursued by the Rev. Mr. Shanly, the priest of the town, a Serjeant of the South Mayo Militia, and several other persons, and secured. The poor woman was brought into town alive, and continued so until about fur o'clock the next morning, when she expired. Before she died, she declared it washer husband who stabbed her. He has since acknow ledged his guilt, and says he was actuated by jeakusy. Ile was sent off to Castlebar to abide his trial. MANsION HOUSE. Yesterday Thomas French, a la bourLr in the warehouses of the Hudson's Bay Com pany, was charged before the LORD MAYOR, with stealing from the warehouses ten skins. The foreman of the warehouse stated, that many valuable skins had been stolen, and suspicion falling upon the prisoner, he was detected with two skins concealed in his hat, and explained .he prisoner's confession of guilt, and told the name of the man to whom he had sold skins et different times, fur fifteen and eighteen-pence each. The value of the skim were from three to nine shil linFs each. Two of the other warehousemem proved their finding the - skins in the prisoner's possession.— He did not deny having the skins in his - hat, but pre tended not to know how the skins came there.• He was remanded I.r further examination. .1;lin Gall, an assistant ostler, was charged on sus picion of wilfully or carelessly jnjuring a horse so as to occasion his death. Mr. White stated that the horse was a very valuable one, the property of Mr. Kirk, which the prisoner had the care of in his sta bles, that the horse's tail being severely cut and las cerated, he died. Mr. Kirk said, the farrier declared the horse's death was occasioned by some severe treatment. The prisoner in his defence said it was accident, and explained, that he and two others were in the stable at the time ; that he was standing behind the horse with a two-pronged fork in his hand, with the handle uppermost when by accident a boy drove the kindle of the fork from his hand which nested below t.r about the tail of the horse, who began to kick very furiously, and the prongs of the fork nesting between the stones of the floor he could not at that momeet take it away, and did not discover any injury till he was taken out to be dressed, when he saw the blood ; he called the other two, who corroborated his state. went. His Lordship told him the dangerous situation he would have been in, if there were any proof of his ma liciously injuring the horse, and hoped it would be a warning to him ;if the pitch-fork had been wantonly, or carelessly, put behind the horse, to be more careful in future, and ordered him to be discharged. MARLBOROUGH-srnEET.—Yesterday 8. Marlin and four women, were committed for re-examination, charged with robbing Mr. Jones of his pocket book, containing £l6O in notes. The utor had been collecting, and returning up tEvsEcdgeware-road, somewhat inebriated, was prevailed on by one of the females to go into a public house, where they were joined by the others ' • soon after which the book was taken b :- one of the females, and given to Martin.— The prosecutor rcpaired to Mary-la.hunne watch house, where the prisoners had just been taken as dis orderly, and part el the property was recovered.

Sir SAMUEL Romtux applied to the Court for leave to consolidate several Bills filed by the plaintiff, a I Clergyman, against thirty-two of his Parishioners, for non-payment of Tythes. He moved this upon the ground that the Bills all related to the same matter. Mr. HART opposed the consolidation, upon the ground, that as the defendants might have different pleas, and if all were consolidated, his Client would be for a long time prevented from having a decree by perpetual abatements. Sir S. ROMILLY stated, that it was the practice of the Exchequer to consolidate, even before answers were given in. The CHANCELLOR thought that a strong measure— but he would consult with the Barons and then give his opinion. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 16. TILE KING V. HARVEY AND OTHERS. The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved for the judgment of the Court against Thomas and John Harvey, the Defendants in this case. Mr. Justice BAILEY read the notes of the Learned Judge who tried this case, which was an indictment charging the Defendants, a publican in the village of Minchinhampton, in Gloucestershire, and his son, with violently beating and maiming Captain Peter O'Shochnessy, of the 18th, or royal Irish regiment of foot, in the course of his march with a party of said regiment from Gloucestershire to the Isle of Wight, on the 4th day of July last. -The evidence on the part of the prosecution, as Appearing on the notes of the Learned Judge (Baron ThompsoN) who tried the cause, exhibited a series of insolence and gross brutality on the part of the De fendants, which it required every effort of Captain O'Shochnessy, who commanded the party, consisting principally of recruits, not much accustomed to mili tary su,ordination, to prevent his men from avenging in a manner that might have been fatal. For the Defendants, it was endeavoured to ,be shewn, on thz other hand, that the Captain was the aggressor, and that an injury he sustained in the head, was given by a stick carried by himself, and which John Harvey had wrested from him, at a time when he was leaning over iiis father in a threatening atti tude. The Jury, however, six of whom were special, found the. Defendants Guilty. name of M'Kenzie, anL ,at . fie person . ...,pt, had never used the sea at any former period in any capacity whatever. OR the trial it was shewn, that the impressed man had used the sea as an armourer, both in the years 1801 and 1805 • also, that at the time of his being impressed, be had been taken from on board a ship of which his brother, the defendant, was Master. Mr. RAISE addressed the Court in mitigation, in sisting on the possibility of the defendant miscon ceiving the nature of his affidavit, in supposing that he simply swore that his brother had never acted as a mariner. He had also received a most excellent cha racter. After hearing the ATTORNEY GENERAL for the prosecution, the sentence of the Court on the defen dant, as delivered by Mr. Justice Le BLANC, was, that the defendant do pay to the Crown a fine of £5O ; that he be imprisoned for two years in the common jail of Durham, and therzafter, till the fine of £5O be paid. THE KING V. SCOLLER AND WAY. The defendants in this case were found guilty of deforcing and assaulting certain Revenue Officers in the Island of Portland, while endeavouring to pro cure entrance in . ° the house of John Way, since de ceased, the husband of Mary Way, one of the de fendants, and in which the other defendant, William Scoller, was shewn to have borne a part. Mr. Justice Le BLANC declared the sentence of the Court to be, that Mary Way be imprisoned in the Common Jail of Dorchester for twelve calendar months, and William Scoller in the same jail for the space of six calendar months. Nicholas Way and Richard Way were brought up to receive judgment for a similar offence, and were sentenced to three months invisonment each. The recognizances as to several other persons brought up for judgment were continued, for the pur pose of insuring their future good behaviour. THE KING V. JOHN LEWS. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said there were circum stances in the case of this defendant which induced him to consent to let him go at large upon his own recognizance, to appear when called upon ; he un derstanding that he would be punished severely if he should misbehave hereafter.—Enlarged accordingly. THE KING V. JOHN ARCHER AKD SON, Affidavits were now offered in mitigation, but it ap pearing that they were impr6perly entitled, the Defen dants were ordered to be committed till the return of the at from the country, and for this purpose to be brought up again this day se'nnight. Convicted of having rescued a quantity of cyder, which a revenue officer had seized for not being duly entered : these parties were acting in some measure under an apprehension that the officer had irregularly seized the goods, because they were not for sale, but private use ; but the officer was acting legally. But in consideration of the great age (76) of the father ; of this prosecution having been nearly his ruin ; his travelling all the way from Devonshite, to receive sentence, Etc. the ATTORNEY GENERAL, on the sug gestion of the Court, consented that they be enlarged on their own recognizance, to appear when called for —and particularly that the young man being of good behaviour, for he knew his disposition. Therefore the Court exacted of him a recognizance for his good behaviour in 4500, the father only £lOO. ELOPEMENT. Mr. TOPPING moved for a writ of Habra: Corps: to be issued, directed to Captain Shelton, quartered at Manchester, in the barracks, to deliver up a young Lady to her friends. The Learned Counsel stated, that this application was made on the part of the father of the unfortunate young Lady, Mr. Moor house, a respectable tradesman, in Manchester; his daughter was only fifteen years of age ; he had paid /114) to a dress-maker of that place to insti uct her in that business ; on a Monday morning she left her fa ther's house, to go to that pf her instructress, and in the evening her disconsolate parents learned that she had eloped with Captain Shelton, and that they had gone towards Liverpool ; he pursued ; but, on his arrival there, he found they had set off for Manches ter, which proved to be the case ; as, on his return, he learned she was at Captain Shelton's apartmAnts in the barracks ; a person had seen them together, and their conduct was that of familiarity ; and he had heard Captain Shelton say, if Miss Moorhouse's friends attempted to take her frcm-him, he would lose his life before they should accomplish their object. Lord ELLENBOROUGII—" Take the wlit." COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOV. Is. OUNG V. JONES. An action to recover the amount of a bill drawn upon a person named Skingler. The defence to the action was, that the plaintiff bad exonerated the de fendant by proceeding against Skingler; to shew this Miss Jones, daughter to the latter, was examined.— She stated that she went at her father's request, about six or seven days after the note was due; to the plain tiff's house, and sent in a message by the maid, that her father understood that he (the plaintiff) had set tled with Skingler; to this the plaintiff replied, loud enough for her to hear, the door being a..jar— ,, Yes, yes, tell. Mr. Jones I am perfectly satisfied." Chief Justice MANSFINLD, however, was of opi nion, that this intimation did not exonerate the dcfen i dant from his liability.—Verdict for the Plaintiff. A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the house of Mr. Duims, the Rose and Crown, in Dow ning-street, Westminster, on the body of a Mr. A. ANIIOL r. He went into the house on Wednesday night and called for six pennyworth of brandy and water ; scarcely had he tasted it when he was seized with .t fit of apoplexy, and instantly expired. TILE KING V. STONEVIELD. The Defendant, a poor old woman, aged 65, had been convicted at the Lancaster Assizes of endea vouring to persuade Willam Laurence, a soldier in the 66th regiment, 2d battalion, to desert from his Majesty's service. The boy, not much more than 15 years of age, was found in the Defendant's house, in a secret room entering by a trap door, where there were at the time two other boys whom the prisoner was secreting fir the merchant sea service. The boy swore on the trial that the Defendant asked him into her house, that he told her he was a soldier ; but she asked W it would not be better for him to go to sea ? If he would go, she said she would give him £5. He again said, he was enlisted as a soldier. She told him that was of little consequence, he could change his name, and she would give him a different dress. The Defendant, on the otherside, adduced her daugh ter and servant, who stated that the boy called in consequence of an advertisement which the Defen dant had put out for a substitute for her son, who had been impressed, and that he represented himself as a young man just come from the country.. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. RAINS aadressed the Court in mitigation of punishment, principally relying on the age and po• verty of the Defendant, and on the fact of her having four sons in his Majesty's service, which rendered it a still more severe stroke on her to have her fifth son taken away, for whom it was not unnatural that she should be anxious, by any means, to provide a sub stitute. The ATTORNEY GENERAL, for the prosecution, though he could not be insensible to the spectacle now exhibiting before their Lordships, 'still felt it absolutely necessary for his Majesty's service that the punishment, for an offnce like the present, should not be light. When he stated, that, in the same place, the sane practices had since gone on, so that, from one regiment, fourteen desertions had taken place, in Liverpool, he did not mean to aggravate the present case, but only to plead his own excuse for calling on the Court for judgment. Mr. Justice LE BLANC, after pointin' out to the Defendant the enormity of her offence, of her gnilt, to the full extent of which she must have been sen sible, else she never would have resorted to a place of concealment in which to lodge the boy, stated, that there were only two modes of punishment left to the option of that Court : The former was a penalty of £4.0 ; or, in case of the inability of the party-, or more than ordinary enormity of the offence, a punishment in the discretion of the Judge, of imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months, and that the per sons so imprisoned should stand once in the pillory. Her poverty, it appeared from her affidavit, prevented the Defendant from discharging the first part of the alternative in the Act of Parliament, withoat inflict ing on the Defendant too great a proportion of pu nishment ; nothing, therefore, remained for the Cow t Mrs. Merchant, No. s, Middlesex-street, mers.town, hiC experienced the good effect AmmicAN Soomm SYRUP her infant was s c &teed that she thought he was in a consumption, was several days in convulsions with his teeth; human appeatance would have died. withciu relief, when fortunately a friend gave her 1, bottle ; she no sooner rubbed it On his gams t'!: began to mend, and hid a good night, v. , h1,1 the first he had for three weeks, and is a tine though he was quite taken off his feet.—To of 'the proprietors, J. doziNsoN and Co. 91., man-street, Oxford-street, :and retail of Mr. IRO, 42, Cornhill, and all the principl Me Venders in town and country, at 2s. 9d. a but!" ready money.
