Oh! visit not My conch of dreamless sleep, When even tl shalt be forgot By this so faithful breast ; lint let the stranger watch my silent rest, With eyes that will not way ! Oh ! come rot, maid ! I crave no si:_th from thee, Ken when the mouldering frame is laid lteneath the cold dull grave ; the yew shall moan, and the night-wind rave, A fitting d.rge for me! Weep not, dear love! While grief were agony,— Wait till the halm of time remove Tke fever of the brain, And sweet though mournful dreams alone remain Of me and misery ! Then—then, sweet maid ! By twilight linger near The rustling trees whose green boughs shade My lonely place of rest, And hallow thou the turf that wraps my breast With Pity's sacred tear! ASTRONOMY. A Member of the Astronomical Society is inveiti gating, at present, a novel branch of Astronomy, nimely, the different refractional corrections which the principal fixed stars severally require, in order to ascer tain their true places. For it appears, on inquiry, that the light of different stars is differently reflected: ' thus, Aldeburan, Betalgen, and the red stars in general, are less refracted than Syrius, Lyra, and Spica Virginis. The recent observations have also led to some curious discoveries respecting planetary and teller light, on which some observations, by Dr. Forster, will be found in the Philosophical Magazine. 1 . ) I - • IS :t1 400 S " • /CP - • WEEP NOT, DEAR LOVE. !ROM THE " ORIENTAL HERALD.' PROBABLE COMET. A luminous appeaiance resembling a comet was dis cerned a few evenings ago from the neighbourhood of East Grins:ead, in Sussex ; it was situated in the Nor- there hernisphete, and not far from the Bear's tail. The prevalence of cloudy weather has, of late, prevented any observations being made on it. LINES ON SIR JOHN MOORE. In the 6' Conversations of Lord Byron" diet e is a copy of a dirge on the burial of Sir John Moore, of which his Lordship speaks in such high terms, that Captain Me-iwin was induced to think it was written by his Lordship. Since the publication of the work, the lines, which Jo not possess any extraordinary merit, have been ascribed to a Mr. Woolf, to Mr. Hayley, a Mr. Deacon, and some half dozen other person.. A new claimant, and we suspect the right one, has sprung up in a Dr. Marshal, of Durham, who, in a letter to one of our cntemporaries, says " The statement lately published in he Morning Chronicle. the writer of which ascribes the lines on the burial of Sir John Moot e to Woolf, is false, and as barefaced a fabrication as ever was foisted on the Public. The lines in question ate not written by Woolf, nor by Bayley, nor i, Deacon tl e author, but they were com posed by nit'. I published them originally, some years ago, in the Mohan: County Advertiser, a journal in which .1 have at diffetent times inserted sevetal poetical trifles, as—The Prisoner's Prayer .to Steep—l inn on Ike la►uented Death of Benjamin Galky, Esq. and some other little effusions. 66 I should not, Sir, have thought the lines on Sir John Moose's funeral worth owning, had not the false 'statement of Ihe Chronicle met my eye. I can provr, by the most incontestible evidence, the truth of what I have asserted. The first copy of my lines was given by me to my friend and relation, Captain Bell, and it is in his possession at present ; it agsees perfectly with the copy now in circulation, with this exception—it does not contain the stanzas commencing with ' Few and short.' which I added afterwards, at the suggestion of the Rev. Dr. Alderson, of Butte! by." The Doctor, it will be seen, possesses one of the at tributes often ascribed to authors, and poets in pas ticu- Isr, nAntely ,the genus ritabile. We ought to add, that the D,4rham C'ousity Advertiser some time ago stated, that the lines fist appeAted in that Paper, and were c‘Anninnicated by an anonymous Correspondent. PLANTING POTATOES. It has been ascertained from experiments, that, in platting potatoes, whole ones yield more produce than %%lien cut into halts, or portions ski] eyes, and ridges a:e superior to drills for planting them.

LiT rILOYISIWR C. G. 111116-LAND. Dr. Burdacb, of Wiebal, ue.ar &vat', having b-en in the habit of employing the root of plant in epilepsy, nolessor lisifeland was induced to try its effects. Dr. Iltirdach recommends the root to he gltheted atplot,tlw middle of October, to be dried in the shade uillo , ut washing, and rot to he pnwdeieJ until shortly Lcio•e it. exhibition. It should be taken in powder, within half an hour of the expected accession of the paroxysm, when the paroxysm can be foriw.en, i 4 the 'dose of It cofree.spoonful (fro n 50 to 70 grairs) in a' little warm beer: the patient 0u,414 io:be placed in bed,; Well covered, and to drink warm beer. Copious per-i spiration i; the result, s hid: ha: 41g subsided, the pa-: tient may leave his bed. Dr. But dach asserts that the first dose generally pro cures some relief, and sometimes performs a complete cure. He advises the dose of this medicine to be re pealed on alternate days. Professor Bute:and prescribed this remedy in ten chases of epilepsy in the “Polyclirrical Institution of Ber lin." Of these, three were perfectly cured, three ob tained relief, the paroxysms becoming less frequent, and much less severe; and four derived no advantage from its use. These experiments deserve to be repeated in this country ; for, according to the observations of Hufeland and Burdach, this substance seems to possess more efficacy in the disen'c than a priori reasoning would lead us to expect from any single remedy, espe cially when we connect the pathology of the disorder with the means of remedying it. We subjoin an abstract of some of the cases pub lished by Profeisor Ilufeland and Dr. Buidach, as we conceive that the result entitles this substance to the fa vourable notice of practitioners. The experience Hufeland being in its favour is.no small t ecommendation ; CASE 1 st.—A female, aged forty-one, who had been hysterical, became subject to attacks of epilepsy. These ) attacks seem to have been consequent on chagrin, irre gular menstruation, and a sedentary life. She was re ceired into the hospital under the care of Hufeland, and during a month's residence in the institution, she experiencid six epileptic fits. As each of the paroxysins was ushered in with general uneasiness and agitation, the powdered root of the Artemisia was exhibited on the appearance of these symptoms. The first dose was talt.tn at eleven o'clock at night, at the moment when the usual forerunners of the fit declared its accession. A very abundant perspiration supervened, which con tinned till morning. The patient had no sleep ; she changed her linen and felt much relieved. On the fol lowing day, however, at two in the afternoon, she was suddenly seized with a paroxysm, which ari hour after wards was succeeded by a second, equally violent as the former ; she then fell into a profound sleep, which continued until the morning following. Seventy-two hours after the exhibition of the first dose, a second was given in warm beer. A general, a very abundant, and fetid perspiration speedily supervened ; and in the morning she had a copious discharge of yellowish urine, which did not deposit any sediment. She felt greatly relieved. She left the hospital in the following mouth ; and at the end of two years, M. Hufeland ascertained that she bad since enjoyed perfect health, and had not had any attack of epilepsy. CASE! 2d.—A girl, seventeen years of age, an epilep tic from her fifth year, in consequence of a blow on the head, had a paroxysm daily at the same hour. One dose of the Artemisia Vulgatis, which was followed by perspiration, cured the disease. CASE Bd.—A girl, eighteen years of age, epileptic from the age of two years, in whom the paroxysms had been increasing in frequency and severity since their first appearance, until she had as many as twelve attacks in the day, took the Artemisia in the manner described above. After the third dose the paroxysms were re duced to two in the day, and these were of short dura tion. No further report was given of this case. CASE 4th.—A man, twenty-nine years of age, was subject to a Periodical epilepsy, during four years. The disease appealed after a fall into the water when he was drunk. Two doses of the Artemisia completely re moved the disorder. CASE sth.—A man, thirty-six years of age, and ra ther imbecile in his intellects, was weekly subject to two or three paroxysms of epilepsy, since his infancy. Three doses of the Artemisia proved sufficient to dimi nish the number of paroxysms to one in a month. A large dose of this substance taken by the patient him self each month, entirely prevented the return of the paroxysms. CASE 6th.—A girl, sixteen years of age, was seized with epilepsy at the age of puberty, without any evi dent cause. She generally had two paroxysms in the forty-eight-hours. One dose only of the Artemisia en tirely removed the disease.—Medical Repository. • I GAS ENGINE CARRIAGE COMPANY. As some erroneous statements have appeared relative to the Gas Engine Carriage Company, we subjoin the Prospectus, which explains the real nature of the un dertaking. It will be seen that every possible precau tion has been taken to prevent its becoming an object o f speculation, and to restrict it to what it really is, a number of individuals subscribing their money, to as certain the practicability and utility of a means of trans. port, which, if successful, will probably cause the greatest change hitherto attempted in the comcnenica tions of civilized society. The following is the Prospectus: POLICE LVTELLIOENCE. -,.~.~ . bt A NSI ON-HOUSE. A young man named Ridgeway was charged on suspicion of hay. ing been concerned in stealing a number of silk handkerchiefs out of a linen-draper's .shop. It was stated that the prisoner, in com pany with another man, went into the shop, and asked to look at a particular pattern, which was in the window. The other man, who appeared most desirous to purchase, went outside the shop, on pre tence of pointing out the particular goods, but he disappeared with • out ceremony, and the prisoner wz.s about to follow him, when it was discovered that a piece of silk handkerchiefs was stolen. The prisoner was stopped, on suspicion of being an accomplice in the robbery. No money sufficient to purchase a handkerchief was found upon him. The prisoner declared that be knew nothing of the 'person who had gone away. They had, he said, met in the street, and the fugitive asked him to go and exercise his taste in the selection of a silk handkerchief? He had no idea at the time that the fellow had any intention of playing such a trick. The Loso :Slava& called upon him to give a particular account of himself. The prisoner said, that he had been a weaver, but work becom ing difficult to be had, he was compelled to go a step or two lower, to save himself from perishing, by submitting to be a player. But even in this unfortunate rank he got no more than bare victuals, and, of course, was obliged to go bare of garments; fur although he acted Richard M. with success, it never put a penny in his pocket. Of course it was rather inconvenient for him to stay lung upon the stage. He hoped, however, that he was not suspected to be a can didate for that other kind of stage, where death was not the mere matter of the moment. The Lean MAYOR Inked him where be played law ? The prisoner said he had played ling Rickety, 111. at Croydon. His Lordship doubted the fact, for the prisoner's figure, manner, and countenance, gave the lie to this declaration. An Officer said, the man bad shewn symptoms of practice itt the profession. . _ _ The Chief Clerk said, that if the priemer wat a member of the stage. he could, no doubt, convince the Lord blayor of the fact. The prisoner.—e , What, here?" (with an expression of horror and surprise). The Loan Ahroa.—Yes, here. . _ _ The prisoner. —What ! before an tbese people ? Must Ido it without study? The LORD Moeost.—Proceed. The prisoner then frowned horribly, and began thus--- " Tis now the midnight hour of 'tight, " When church-yards yawn, and hell itself breathes out " 43►nftrsion in the world. Now (putting his hand to his jaw) could I drink black blood " And Ch; such busioeu with isas the day would shake to look at." The Logo Manz thought this but a poor evidence of the pd. loner's eminence in the profession. He thought, however, that a caution would have some effect ; and after having advised him to be more particular than he had been in the selection of his characters in the streets, and to resign that of Filch, discharged him. A man of about forty years of age, named Barret, was brought before the Loan 111Atoa, on suspicion of having acted feloniously towards two widows. Tuesday, Mrs. Evans, a widow residing in Fore-street, waited upon the Lord Mayor, and stated that the prisoner had managed to gain the affection of a widow named Hill, who had a little mosey, and a decent business as a dress-maker, and that he married her, and lived about sixteen months with her. He then suddenly took her from the house in which she lived, on pretence of taking her into the country. He left his daughter, fiy a former wife, to take care of the business, on which he had li ved without working himself. Great surprise was occasioned by the intelligence, that the prisoner, one month after his wife disappeared, had married another widow. The applicant was present at the marriage of Mrs. Hill, and took the greatest interest in her fate, as she had known her for many years. The prisoner was applied to, to know what had become of his former wife, but he absolutely refused to give any account of her. The Lona MAY9II granted the warrant on which Le was now brought up. Mrs. Evans restated her complaint, and added, that the prisoner, after be bad married the widow, Mrs. Hill, lived for nearly sixteen months upon her exertions when, a fortnight since, he married Mrs. Wood, a widow residing in Chancery-lane. He had, before he did this, secured the business of the other widow to his daughter. Brand, the marshalman, who bad executed the warrant, stated that the prisoner's wife was still living. He had gone with the prisoner and his last wife (Mrs. Wood) to a house in the Curtain. road, where they found the former wife in a rapid decline. She was extremely weak, and it was evident that she had not p long time to live. The room where she lay was but indifferently furnished, but she appeared to be ea good terms with the prisoner. She acknow ledged that she was not his wife, as she had married to him in a wrens name. She was married to bins in the name of Hill, because she had lived with a man of that name fourteen years before she married the prisoner. She complained of nothing, and appeared to be very resigned. The friends of the poor woman declared that either she was not in a proper ante of mind, or that she must have been under some extraordinary influence when she made this state ment, which was at variance with the facts. A youth here said, be claimed the protection of the Lord Mayor against the proceedings of the prisoner. The complainant was the son of Mrs. Wood, the widow, of 127. Chancery-lane. whom the prisoner had married after eight weeks courtship. Complainant, who was now under age, had succeeded his father as a law sta tioner, and had a business of two hundred a year, when the pri soner got pomade's of the house, by marrying his mother, and turned him out without a farthing. The Loan Mayas said, as far as yet appeared from one of the documents which he held in his hand (the certificates of the two marriages), the first marriage was valid, in which case the prisoner would not be entitled to the controul ho had exercised. At present there was a case of bigamy against him, and the matter must be fully investigated.—The prisoner was t hou remanded. BOW-STREET. Latunnan AND Loacma.—Yesterday a question (had it been within the power of a Magistrate to decide it) would have been heard, highly important to the public, as far as regards the law re specting landlord and tenant. A young Lady came to complain of the very distressing circumstances in whit* she was placed owing to the renter of the house in which she lodged having neglected to pay his rent, inconsequence of which the landlord, a few days ago, issued an execution, and all her property, including some valuable apparel, was seized. The young Lady's friends brought the land lord before the Magistrate, to know whether the law authorised such a proceeding ? Mr. MIAs, who regretted the unpleasant dilemma In which the applicant witikplaced, asked to look at the authority of the landlord, and upon see l iz r :: :, observed, that he could not afford the parties any further than by informing the landlord that he was not justified in detaining any articles of wearing apparel. The landlord &aid, that be had seized for upwards of £2OO, rent due to him. As the Magistrate could not interferaurther, the parties left the Office. Lturia-Gotts.—A man named Chrrol was brought to the office, before Mr. Hato, the sitting Alsgistrate, under a charge of keep ing a Little-Go. Baker * the officer, having received information that the defendant was connected with the above ingenious method •of obtaining a livelihood, went in search of him, and found him carrying a lottery-board, on Cornhill, for Mr. Eyton. He watched him, but finding nothing to confirm his suspicions, he went with him to his lodgings, in Redcross-street, Union -street, Borough. There he found a book lying on the window, which, from his ex perience in cases of a similar description, he knew to be a Little- Go book. His then took Mn. into custody. The defendant said, he was a watchman, and about a year and a half hiuce found the book alluded to. lie could neither read nor write, and therefore it was not probable that he should be engaged in such an under taking.— This reasoning did not satisfy the worthy Magistrate, who ordered him to be confined for one mouth in the. House of Correction fur the County of Surrey.

Two Colombian schooners, an American schooner, and an American brig, wider convoy of the Venezuela Colombian frigate, sailed from Carthagena on the 18th of August for Cbigres, with 1600 men on board, under the command of General VALERO, to reinforce the army of General BuctsrA a, in Peru. Yesterday, an urchin, not more than eight year* old, who gave his name A'apoleon Bonaparte England, was brought before the Magistrate, at Marlborough-street Office, charged with having stolen several culinary articles, from the wash-house of Mr. Saint, oilman, in Prince's -street, Di ury-lane. The prisoner is ex tremely small iii stature, and very audacious in his acts of felony. He cautiously knocked at the window of the house, to see if person was present, an,d finding himselfunobserved, he crawled through the passage, and stole the articles charged. He was found, alter the robbery, lying in the passage, and/one of the lodgers tumbled over him, when he confessed the robbery, and that he sold the articles to a dealer in marine stores, in Short's-gatcians. MARY-LA-BONNE. A wretched-looking fellow, of the name of Richard Ballwin, who sweeps a crossing in Oxford -street, near to Princes sweet, was brought up on the following charge appeared that a lit tle girl of the name of Esther Beeves, aged nine years, had stolen a sovereign out of her mother's drawers, with a part of which she purchased two dolls, for which she paid 7s. 6d. and on returning with her purchase, was asked charity by the prisoner, who was standing at his usual post, attended by two of his daughters. The girl gave him Is. 6d. and also presented the children with a doll each; and on being further importuned, gape the remainder of her change to him and his children, amounting to 7s. 6d. The mother, discovering the theft, questioned her daughter ; and thus learnt the above story. One of the Bow street Patrol stated, that he' s had that morning taken the prisoner into custody, who on being questioned, said, ' " The devil a farthing have I got;' but, on his proceeding to search him, and finding 6s. in his fob. he varied his saying to " The devil a farthing lave I got, except 6s. An old man who sells fruit at the corner of Princes-street, was called by the prisoner, but his evidence only went to norrobo rate the girl's testimony.—The prisoner told a long story about the girl having voluntariiy given him the meaty, w c 4 miss Old him !w.s ber own, though lie Admitted be Lad doubts on the ,u 1; he concluded with—" And so I said to m)c-lt, as ouo i.. 04 ; tiers nuiney, the devil shan't take it (ruin me, mid rot wort arui spent it." The Magistrate told him that the charge against him amours to felony, and remanded hint till Friday. The child was alshed by the worthy Magistrate, and the mother also stated determination to keep a strict eye over tier. QUEEN-SQUA Yesterday, Was James Mead, John.

SHERIFF'S COURT, PLYMOUTH, OCT. 26. CURIOUS CASE OF ASSAULT. A writ of inquiry was held this day, to assess da. mages for inn assault committed by Mr- George Fitz roy, an En,ign of the' 3,1 Regiment of Foot Guard., lately stationed in this garrison, on Mr. Richard Oliver Back well, ironmonger, of Devonport, proprietor of e baths under Mount Wise. Mr. Fitzroy suffered jrut, ! . anent to go by default.—Damages were laid at 5001. Mr. Bran commenced his address to the Jury.—The plaintiff, Richard Oliver Backwell, a tradesman of De vonport, was and ltad been for a considerable petit - 4 the proprietor of baths under Mount Wise in that towo ; he was a man of the most unimpeached character ; the defendant's name was George Fitzroy ; he was an Offi cer of the Guards, recently quartered at Deronport, On the Ilth of June last, Mr. Backwell visited the baths, and on his return, on coming up Stonehorbe hill, on horseback, he heard a horse galloping; pre sently after defendant came up to him; he said, 'Jr. Fitzroy, I wanted to see you, and am glad of an oppor tunity of remonstrating with you on your improper conduct;" but before he had power to finish his sen tence, the defendant replied—" I am glad to see you, and to have an opportunity of saying that you are a d—d and infamous scoundrel, and I will pull you off your horse." His client then said, "If either of us be scoundrels, it is the person who sits on that horse."— Defendant then laid hold of Mr. Backwell by the col lar, dragged him off hisliorse, threw him on the ground, and his head fell near the beets of defendant's horse. John Backwell, the son of the plaintiff, was sworn.— The Guards were in the habit of frequenting the baths. On the Bth of June he made a complaint to his father of the conduct of the defendant; and in consequence his father gave orders that he was not to bathe there again. Defendant applied - to bathe on the 9th June; witness told him what his father said ; he repli::d— -" What ! is this a public bathing-place, and you deny a Gentleman bathing here ?" Witness said, " Y... 11 have acted in a manner in which no other Gentleman would act; Lady Graves bathes here; Colonel Cochrane's wite bathes here ; suppose it had been Mrs. Cochrane, t hat would have been the consequence ?" Witness then re tired to the cottage and sat down to his breakfaA, wl en defendant, who had followed him, said; .4 Your father has made a fortune by the Guards, but he knows that they are going away, and he can now get nothing mote by them : but (said he) Iv. ill sWu him." Defendant was in a great degree of passion. -He contiot.e.l, •4 He would take care that Lady Graves, nor any of the Guards, or any other Gentleman, should bathe there." Witness said, " You have ruined the baths ; the Ladies say that neither they nor any of their friends .vill bathe in future." Defendant said he was very glad of it, and would do so again. John Pike, a. pensioner, gave evidence as to the as sault on Mr. Blackwell. Mr. Tripe, surgeon, sworn.— lie attended the plain tiff; gave him medicine for a week. Mr. GULLET? addressed the Jury for the defendant, contending that there had been gross provocation. The Jury retire, and v e elozked up three. quarters of an Lour, when they returned into Court, and gave a verdict of 2501. damages. A Member of the Institute, to spew his acqvai , to ce with English literature, said to an lingli di Gentleorao, that his favourite author was Merbohg.
