Ne'er yet had I beheld her half so fair : No mournful trace, no shade of earthly care, Darken'd her countenance. so lovely bright : Her vestment fell in folds, and it was white As purest cloud, floating in summer air! Too soon that vision faded from my view; Yet did the vision smile, e'en as it faded ; But Kill I g 'zed through night'Qnvidious hue, nor the loved face, and an:;el form it shaded : I only saw the moonbeam glimmer through The quivering vine, which my dim lattice braided! 'r kta It - ' r NATIONAL. SOClETY.—Yesterlty the General Com mittee of the National Society for the lidocAtion of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church held their Meeting at Sr. Martin's Vestry Room:— Prim:in—The Archbishop of CAteritusuay, the Bishop of Lox, Dos, the lion. Mr. justice PARK. the Rev. Dr. 151[1.1, the Rev. Dr D'Ort.es-,Josous WarsoN, Esq. Treasurer, and other Members of the Committee. Several grants of money were made by the Society towards the establishing of School:, amongst others 2001. in aid of the School at Wigan for 300 boys. The Universal Gazette says, that M. COUSIN, who has been implicated only by the depositions of two students, will be shortly set at liberty. Count BERNSTOAFF is s• ill in the country. M. COUSIN has been treated with the greatest attention, and even permitted, to ride out in a carriage, in Berlin. A female was indicted at a late term of the Court of Sessions in Philadelphia, as a common scold. She was convicted and sentenced to be publicly ducked, and pay costs of prosecution. A Correspondent, who regrets the frequency of forgery, and the little effect that capital punishments have in preventing it, suggests that a sentence to hard labour for life, would lessen the commission of such crimes (if rigidly enforced), by confining theM strictly to convict's allowance, and not suffering their relations to afford them any assistance whatever, that can in the feast lessen their punishment. Such a sentence, it is presumed, would, in a great measure, prevent the crinie from being so frequently committed, and IA ould operate on th 4 minds of such culprits in a more terrific manner than the punishment of death, as the persons ebintnitting this crime are in general not inured to hard . labour. On the 6th ult. the great Military Orphan House of Berlin celebrated the hundredth anniversary of its foundation. The children,- 629 in number, assembled at'seven o'clock in the morning to breakfast. • They were then taken to the garrison Church, where the KING and the Royal Family - also attended Divi6e Service. At their dinner, the KING came, with all the Princes and Princesses, tasted some of the dishes, and drank to the prosperity of the lnstitutio'n, after which his MAJESTY gave to each child a crown-piece of this year's coinage, in memory of the festival. In the judgment delivered in the Court of Common Pleas, in the case of 4 ' Davis v. the Bank of England," an important circumstance was referred to by Chief Justice BEST ; namely, that khould a person (as in the case of Fauntleroy) obtain possession of Stock by a forged power of attorney, and continue for six years to pay tjie dividends, and the owner shodld never, during the six years, apply to the Bank, his claim upon the Bank would come under the Statute of Limitations. Accounts from Martinique have been received at Sa. vannah, informing that two Clench Government schooners were lost in the gale at Guadaloupe, and that all their crews had perished, Private Letters from Paris mention another in stance of the denial of the rite of sepulture by the Roman Catholic Clergy of France. In the case of the actor PHILLIPPE, the ecclesiastical ceremony was re fused becatr,e the deceased belonged to a profession obnoxious to the clergy ; but in the case to which we now refer, the rite was denied to an old and respectable Magistrate, M. LA LOBE, fOI welly the Mayor of Troyes, simply because he tuns a Jansenist ! This venerable man, who, at the period of his decease, was 8e years of age; WAS refused the Sacrament mile.:s he would abjure his errors as a Jansenist ; and while this indecent violation of the sanctity of the hour of death was perpetrating, M. LaUrne expired, the last effort of nature only just enabling him to make a sign to the priest expressive of his anxiety for the last offices of his religion. At the cotton-manufactory of the late C. STANTON, Esq. at Mansfield, on Saturday last, a young woman, of the na•ne of KNIGHT, took with her a younger sister, about nine yeats of age, with an intention of procus ing her employment at the same place, when about nine o'clock the n•ill was thrown into the utmost consterna tion and alarm, on discovering that the child, by ap proaching too near one of the shafts, and her clothes getting entangled therein, was carried round with the utmost rapidity, every round her head dashing against the wall, and her legs against a pair of steps which stood near, with 'such force as to break the steps. 'l'he wanks were stopped with the utmost promptitude, but it was found that the skull was fractured, the thigh bones broken, and the bowels protruded through the skin. In this dreadful situation she lingered till four o'clock the following morning, in the greatest agony, when death put an end to her stain ings. Everybody recollects the mal-address of Dr. SHERI DA N, who, preactaino a Sermon on the anniversary of King WILLIAM'S landie g, wok for his text, " Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof :" hut we should not have expectc4 to find a similar ganch?rie in a French man, in aidiessing CHA Imes X.—yet such is the case. The KING visited the Eichange, one day last week, when a Mr. Fossoito made a spetch, in which he said, " Site, the organization of the Company of Stock ihokers is a benefit of the Monarch whom all France ;tool ns, w ith)our AIAJESTY.

THE LATE GALES. • 'WEYMOUTH, NOVEMBER ea.-. The Two Sisters, from If _a_aga, at and bound burgh, laden with fruit, was wrecked in the West lay,* off Abbotsbury, at eleven o'clock .on Mondify night. Five hands were on board, one of whom perished ; the master and three men are saved. The Sally, of Ports mouth, is lost in Weymouth Bay, nearly opposite 01-' mington-mills ; the Captain's son saved• himself by leaping on board the Naiscy brig, of Weymouth ; the rest of the crew were drowned. The Ebenezer, George Pett master, from Plymouth' to Portsmouth, with King's stores, was thrown by the sea on the .top of Portland Beach, vs here she now remains. The Captain is drowned ; the remainder of the cresv are saved. The Agenoria, Elliott, of Weymouth, from Seville, with fruit, arrived on Saturday Moran in Portland Roads ; all hands safe. Her sails and rigging are shivered to pieces. Seventeen men. belonging to the Colville, Wilson, wrecked in the West Bay, have been picked tip. and buried at Portland. One of them, Henry Gos ling, a passenger, had the singular presence of mind to cut off a piece of his shirt, and having written upon - it his name and address (Loudon), and that-the Captain's wife lived at No. 53, Mount -street, Whitechapel, the poor fellow tied the piece of linen round his neck. A part of the wreck has been saved— namely, eight casks of, rum, one cask of wine, and fifteen bales of cotton. Thej hull of a Swee.ish vessel, theWestmor land, E.M.Junker, 1 at.t from London, for Gibraliar, was towed into Wey mouth. harbour, on Friday evening, by three fishing cut ters. The bravery and skilful seamanship of the Captain and crew during the storm, astonished every beholder. At ten o'clock nn Tuesday, the Captain put out his an chors, and finding them come home, he cut away the masts, and drove within forty yards of the rocks in Chiswell Cove, Portland, where she brought up ; all hands were saved. At twelve o'clock on Wednesday, some Portland men went off to the assistance of the vessel, and brought ashore two of the crew; but the Captain expressed his determination not to leave the ship while she hung together. The number of bodies already picked up in the Island of Portland amounts to twenty-five. A Meeting was yesterday held is Ports land, Iris Excellency Governor Penn in the Chair, to take into consideration the distressed state of the Is land ; when it appeared that the loss of the different sufferers amounted to 15,0001. The fishermen have lost all their boats and nets, and they had nothing to eat until provisions were sent them from Weymouth: We cannot describe the distress which prevails there. The tremendous sea, which towered above the Pebble Beach, swept away, at Chlswell, nearly eighty houses, and be tween twenty and thirty persons were drowned. So distressing a narrative canndt fail to excite the most powerful feelings in the hearts of the benevolent. A subscription in aid of the sufferers is opened at the Weymouth Post-office; and the Benevolent Society at Weymouth are using all possible means to alleviate the distress at Portland and at Fleet. At the latter place, the Church, and nearly the whole parish is swept aivay. DEVONPORT. At Kingsand, the destruction has been extensive and dreadful. Every hour is bringing us acquainted with an accession of fresh losses. The estimate 'of injuries al ready ascertained, amounts to more than . l,oool. nor is it probable that 10,0001. will cover the damages. This is the second time within eight years this. unfortunate place has been ravaged by hurricanes. • The fish cellars are nearly destroyed, and all the houses near the beach are reduced to a wreck. The master and part of the crew of the Coromandel, of 110 tons (formerly an East India boy), on her voyage from Faro to London, with a cargo of cork, were most miraculously preserved during the gale on Tuesday morning. At half-past two, A. M. they saw the Eddystone light, bearing W. by N. dis tant about'seven miles; the vessel then under a single reefed mainsail, close-reefed topsail, and stay foresail, on the starboard tack, laying up S.E. by E. At three o'clock, took in the, mainsail, wore the ship, and laid up W. by N. on the larboard tack. At four, the master and two men went below, and the mate and another took their watch on deck. with the hatches closed, and the companion hatch' over. In about ten minutes a sea struck the vessel, without doing any apparent injury; and in five minutes more another sea took her under the bilge whilst rolling,"and instantly upset her, washing the watch off the deck. The master, two of the crew, and a passenger, who were in the cabin, were suddenly thrown down, and left in total darkness, under the weight of the chests, stove, and cabin furniture, which pressed upon them, and almost caused their suffocation. Having managed to recover their legs, they found about six inches of water on the cabin deck, which gradually increased to four feet. In moving about the master got hold of the scuttle hatch, now above their heads, and calling to the others, they all crept into the - coal-hole, and remained there a full hour before the water came near them. In this horrible state, not knowing where their unfortunate vessel was driving, they remained above six hours, until the water had reached their chins. At this moment they felt the -vessel strike heavily, and in a minute the water receded, and left them alive to hope. Shortly after the vessel struck a second time, they perceived day-light from under the ship, which had happily driven 011 the western end of the .Break water, and the hatches being knocked off by the concus sion, the massive rough stones of this stupendous fabric penetrated through the deck, and held her firm. They crept out from under the vessel to the summit of the Breakwater, and having found one of their own flag. on the rocks, held it up as a signal of distress, which, fortunately, was observed by Mr. Richard Eddy, of Cawsand, who was out in his pilot-boat. At the tisk of I his life, the pilot proceeded to their assistance, took them un board, and landed them safely at Plymouth. Nothing but the bottom of the vessel is left, and the cargo has entirely disappeared. A most melancholy accident took place on the river Mersey on Sunday last. The City of Dublin steam packet had come to on the other side of the rock. Several boats went down the aver, for the purpose of bringing up the passengers. One of these, on its re turn. was unfortunately swamped, and the passengers and boarmenuvere precipitated into the water. As soon as the catastrophe was ob s erved from the shore, boats went to the assistance of the unfortunate people, several of w horn were rescued from an untimely grave. The riumbrr of individuals who lost their lives by this me lancholy accident cannot be exactly ascertained; but not less than nine ate supposed to he drowned. Among the persons saved is an onfant, whose mother lost her life. There were no cabin-passengers amcmg the un fortunate sufferers. The Archbishop of PARIS and M.

DECEMBER 1. ilgantf: soceleart, • a respectable lospleigg • Inman, was PIDDI charged by Sa tly or, a gFilener• t f ul to.. with haying asaultid him with a brotra-siick, at Lt*lh3m, on ttie 26kh October last. It appeared from the evidence of. the prosecutor, that he went into the defendant's garden, and when there the Lady repeatedly struck him. .On cross-examination by Mr. ANDREWS, he varied in his 'story,. and admitted that , there had been an old .grudge betvieen them, which ended in his being bound over to keep the peace to the defendant. The Jury returned a verdict of acquittal. Mrs. Elizabeth °Weld, of Pentonville, was charged with assaulting Mrs. Mat y Miller, an old. Lady of the same place. Mrs. Miller stated that she had the misfortune to be married to a 'mail,from wh.'m, though she did not live with him, she did not consider herself separated—(no deeds, or articles, or anything of that sort, having been entered into between them.) This unfortunate man was given to very bad courses, and lived at present with Mrs. Oldfield—how, she would not shock his Lordship's ears. But if she mus.., she must, and it was adultery. This husband of her's allowed her a weekly sum, which she only went to demand at Mrs. Oldfield's, and having knocked at the door with a double rap, for she was al ways accustomed to do things genteelly, Betty Green, the servant girl, told her her master was not at home. "Oh, ho! says I, but I know he is at home :" with that, Oldfield came down, the girl was sent out for a constable, and Mts. Oldfield shoved her about like a shuttlecock. Mr. ANDREWS addressed the Jury, and said that the prosecutrix having - been separated from her husband, she has become jealous of eve, y woman with whom he might happen to lodge. Mrs. Oldfield, though a most re spectable Lady, was constantly attacked by her, and assailed with the foulest epithets which love and jea lousy could inspire.—The Jury acquitted the defendant. Thomas Stratford and Ambrose IVotton, the former a i l driver, and the latter a cad, of one of the Paddington stages, were indicted for assaulting Mr. Baldwin, a japanner. Wotton did not appear to take his trial. Mr. Baldwin swore, that soma time ago he and a friend took their places near the Yorkshire Stingo, New ltoad, on the coach driven by the defendant, Stratford, he promising to proceed to the City without delay.— The defendant, however, stopped at several public houses, and drove with such rapidity by racing against another coach, that Mr. - Baldwin and his friend came down from the coach, not thinking it safe to proceed on it at the rate the defendant drove: Stratford then struck the prosecutor several violent blows on the head and face, in which he was assisted by Wotton and another fellow, who was convicted last Sessions for the offence. The Jury found the defendant 6ullty ; and Stratford was sen tenced to six mapths imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. LONDON SESSIONS, DECEMBER. 1. John Jones, and Elizabeth his wife, pleaded guilty to the charge of keeping . a disorderly house. In consi deration of their having already suffered three months' imprisonment, they were sentenced to a further impri sonment of three months only—the man to be kept to hard labour. J. Hudson and J. Smith, had been convicted before the present Lord Mayor, under the last Vagrant Act, as rogues and vagabonds, and sentenced to hard labour for three months, and they now appeared upon their appeal against that conviction. The case of James Hudson was first called. The conviction was read, which stated it to have taken place upon the ground that he being a suspected person, and a reputed thief, slid on the 2'2d of Nov. 1824, frequent a certain street, called Holborn-bridg*, with intent to commit felony. Mr. LAW, as his Counsel, took exception to the wording of the conviction, and contended that to fre pent a certain street on a certain day, was not sense in the English language—that to frequent was to go often, to resort to frequently, and not to be in or at a place; and although he might allow the possibility that if a person was several times in a certain street on a given day, he might be said to have frequented that street on that day, yet here the evidence proved that the defend ant had never been seen in that street befo: e that day, and only once upon that day. • Mr. BOLLARD replied in an argument of considerable length, the object of which was to shew, that the term, '4 to frequent,' was not so limited in its definition as Mr. Law contended, but that it was commonly used to signify to go to, or be at a place. If Mr. Law's meaning of the word was the correct one, then, as there were upwards of 4.00 streets in London, a reputed thief might be in a distinct street, for the purpose of commit. ting felony, on one day, or change his walk to another street upon another day, and so on through a whole year with impunity, without exhausting his number of streets, and no conviction could take place under this Act. A long consultation ensued, and in the end the RE. CORDER delivered it as the judgment of the Magistrates, that the conviction must be affirmed. In delivering the judgment of the Court in the other case, that of Smith, the evidence and the objection being the same, the RECORDER said, the Act made the offence frequenting any street, from which he inferred that if they had before been seen in any other street, that would em brace the word frequent,and complete the offence if they were again seen with the same intent in another street, although they might never have been in that latter street betore. The Court, taking into consideration the time they had been in custody, sentenced each of them to a further imprisonment of seven weeks. Mr. LAW hoped the Court would take full minutes of the evidence, that he might be able to bring both the facts and the law before the Court of King's Bench, if he could devise any legal method for so doing. One of the most dreadful cases of but ring ever wit nessed, °centred on Tuesday night, about nine o'clock, to Mrs. Ann Fermin, an old Lady, in the 79th year of her age, at her son's house, loar.streLl, Gravel-lane, Blackfliars, She had been lest by her daughter reading before the fire in the front pat lour about ten minutes, when a stranger passing beheld from the street the room in flames, and gave the alarm. On entering the apart ment, a horrible scene ptesented i:sed ; the wretched woman extended on the fttor, without a vestige of. raiment of any description remaining on her person, which, with the exception of her feet, was burnt fright fully, the tongue, hair, eyes, ears„and nails being nearly destroyed; in This calamitous condition, the ill fated sufferer was wrapped in sheets, and takefi still breathing to Guy's Hospital, when, after languishing in the extre mity of torture for four hours, and calling oil death to relieve her, she expired in the arms of her afflicted ,son. She was U111)SUAlly tall, and had borne the temains of :Much beauty. lt.is remarkable that her husband was bcalded - to death 43 years since.

The Magistrate observed, that notwithstanding the absence of Mr. Jackson's clerk, he would send the prisoner to take his trial, and accordingly commi:ted him to the next Assizes. Yesterday, Margaret Holey, a servant to Mrs. Boys, of D ean . street, Southwark, was brought before the Sitting 11!.listrati., R. J. CHAIIIIERN Esq. in the custody of a constable helot' ng to Bristol, who apprehended her in that city, on her way to Ireland, charged with robbing her mistress of the undermentioned sums of money :—One !XX Bank of England note, two 101. ditto, two M. ditto, forty sovereigns, fourteen guineas, a bill of exchange for 81. 175. together with a great quantity of valuable clothes.—She was fully committed for trial.

Ana Batkr, a laundress, was committed to the Howe of Correc tion for six weeks, in default of paying 204. tine, and the value u•' a shirt delivered to her to be washed, but which she had pledged. MA RLBOROUG H-sTREEr. Yesterday, Mr. Denham, stationer, of 180, Urgent-street, com plained to the Magistrate, as follows :—lle stated, that he had read in The Tines newspaper of the day before, a letter front Ale Ran ken, of Gray's Inn, to Mr. Abraham, the solicitor, of No. 6, Great Marlborough-suet -4 which he conceived had a tendency to cast an imputation on the testimony given by his daughters teethe late trial of William Ramrden Robinson, which created such public.curinsity, in consequence of the dispute about his identity. Mr. ILitikett's letter be thought a garbled one, and there was a circumstance coo cected with it which he could not possibly account for—tlie letter was dated the 25th of November, and stated, that the rein man who bore so strong a resemblance to young Robinson, confessed to Mr. Itanken that he yeas the person who committed the robbery on him (Mr. Denham), and on the various other per-ors, that young Robinson was charged with ; and Air. Ranker ,rates his reasons for not before communicating the circumstance, adding, that the young man had left England, and enumerating, at the foot of the lete-r, the names of the different personS whom he had robbed. lie (Mr. D.) thought this letter was calculated to raise a prejudice agaitee his daughters, for the very positive manner in which they swore to the identity of young Robinson ; and he thought it his duty to mention what he had done. ' Mr. Denham then stated, that there was a Mr.Pettir, a bookseller, residing in Compton-street, Soho, who had been rubbed of two valuable prayer-books by the same pet son, and in the same manner as he (Mr. Denham) and all the others had been robbed; hut as Mr. Pettit did not wish to subject his sister, who must hr the witness, to an examination in a public Court, he iitoho m .tl,- ane charge whatever against young Robinson at a Puke. office ,h 1 iCourt, or at any other place; and although at the public ex.o.inatioo, of young Robinson, he brought his sister to the Office quite privately, and only as a spectator, to see if she could identity the young man, which she professed to du, yet Mr. Pettit never mentioned to any one that he had been rubbed at all, or had any interest in the busi ness; but, notwithstanding this, Mr. Pettit came to Into (Ale Den ham) a fortnight before the date of this letter of Mr. Itanken; now published, and asked him if he had been paid .or his books that he had lost? saying that Mr. Abraham had called on him. Pettit, and inquired if he had been paid for the two prayer-books he had I eat? at the sante time expreasing,his astonishment how Mr. Abraham could come to the knowledge-a his having lost any prayer-bouks at all, as he bad never mentioned the subject. 'Now, Mr. Denham said, as Mr. Abraham professed not to have known anything about the private history of these robberies until he received Mr. Ranker's letter, bow did it happen that he knew, a fortnight before the date of that I..tter,.that Mr. Pettit had been robbed? the circumstance having never been mentioned, nor is Mr. Pettit's name or his books mentioned in the list furnished by Mr. Ranken, of the various articles plundered by his client. So that, as Robinson was not the person, as Mr. Ranken's client was not the person who robbed Mr. Pettit, otherwise the prayer-hocks would have been in the list, there must of course be a third person committing those depredations, and all three so like, that one could not be known from the other. Another thing, Mr. Denham said, was very extraordinary : it was strongly contended at the .trial, that young Robinson never bad or wore a coat and trowseri of a certain description and colour ; but it now appears, Mr. Denham said, that a coat and trovesers of the very sort were nude for young Robinson, by a tailor in St. James'e-street, to whom he at present owes a bill of .CO.'; for clothes; and besides this, Mr. Deoluon said, that Mr. Cooke, will resides in Marlborough-street, declares that he has often seen you. g Rubinson go in and out of Mr. Abraham's house, with a coat on of the very colour mentioned. Mr. Dreg said, that he had no recollection of the name of 3lr. Petit, as connected with that charge, and that he thought Mr. Der ham need have no dread of any imputation being cast upou daughters for the miimer in which they had given their evidence. Mr. Denham said, Mr. Petit's charge was not brought forward, owing to a disinclination on the part of his sister to appear before the Public. What he had mentioned to the Magistrate, Ike thouLz:%: it his ditty to do, as he ctrtainly was impressed with the idea that the letter might lessen his daughtirs reputation iu the public esti mation.—lle then withdrew.
