" Whoever walks through Lo:Idon streets," Said Norma to the Son of Saturn, "Each day rew edifices meets, Of queer proportion, qttecrer pattern: If thou, 0 cloud-compelling gryl, aid me with thy special grace, I, too, will wield my motley hod, :Ind build a Church in Lancham-place !" " Agreed," the Thunder:it cries : "go plant Thhie edifice, I c:•re not how ; Take notice, Earth, I hereby grant Carte blanclic of mortar, stone, and trowel. Go, Hernia, Ikrrules, and Mars, Fraught with these bills on TlE:car Hasa, Drop with yon jester from the stars, And build a Church in Langharn-place !" Down, four in hand, to earth they go, Pass by Pact.anto, WRlti, and Limo, Contracting for their job, to spew llow far four gods can make a guinea go. This plan was Doric, ergo bad, And that lonic, ergo base; No proper model could be had, To shape this Church in Langham-place In deep confab they pass'd two hours; Alcides on his club of tough oak Leant and exclaim'el." Marlin towers Lie scattered on the coast of Suffolk : Let one of those toward London swer; e, Skirt. out of war, they're out of place; ,What can they better do than serve To.form a Church in Larigham-place e" The.word was said, the deed was done, Light ,iferntes toird in vain to stir it, When, with a kick, Amends son Soon tilted down the granite turret. Like a huge hogshead, up to town The martial structure rull'd apace, And, mortar-coated, settled down Into a Church in Langham-place! But, ere with belfry or with bell They graced its top, its sides with casement, They found an unexploded shell Alive and burning at its basement. The channerd air now upward drew Flame after flame, in lurid race, And gave a sort of glass-house hue To their new Church in Langham-place ! "'Twill never do," Alri lea cried, " The Atlas will indict for arson," Mumus carelessly replied— " Pboo ! never mind its—smoke the parson :" lifers, at a push, had wit at will, And said, " Your joint misgivings chase, This round Martello tower shall still Be a new Church in Langham-place!, " To „Yana's red Vukanian steeps, Fly, kercury, on feather'd sandal, And, When the giant Titan sleeps, Snitch, god of thieves, his huge bed-candle Bear thence its tall extinguisher, This conflagration to efface, 'Twill added dignity confer On our new Church in Langham-place!" The cone tip-tilted, Bothers bawls— " Attention, all our luring people, Here Mars's tower affords us walls, And Titan's candlestick a steeple: Our fine, thus martially endow'd, Soon may some Al:merges grace, And ' Son of Thunder,' draw the crowd To our new Church in Langliam-place!"

A Yon esti 'IF illtr.--John Watson, of Leavitham-on-the-'.floors, trouplit a mare to Mahon lorse Show, which he sold for 101. • tit livered her, and after securing the money, as he thought, beyond the reach of the most dexterous sharper, took a turn to see stir rirgs. lie was soon thus accosted by a man dressed like a plain decent countryman —es What ! you've sell'il t' meare ?" " Aye, an swered John. The stranger, in a very significant manner, then said, " Is't money seater " Aye," was again John's answer. The last question, with the manner of putting it, threw John off his guard: he was at a loss to know how a man he had never seen before could N. so friendly. After a little more frieivlly the stranger said he had a mare across the bridge, at Norton, with a good deal of use about her, muck like what John had sold (hinting, very si e r,- nifcantly again, that he did not like to have her in the Alaltott sta- Lies, there were so many sharpers lurking about them), and proposed that they should walk down to sec her, to which John consented ; and as they went, the stranger so managed matters as to gain John's en tire confidence, who now ; tys he thought him " one of the most ei vilest of men—as civil as civil could be." On arriving at the inn at Norton, tae stranger said he was dry, and would have a glass of ale before going into the stable, and asked John to take tun at his cost. They went into a room, and had ju•t got seated, when a man, appa. rently intoxicated, entered the room, boasting of a great fortune his aur.thad left him, saying lie would make itfre, and at the same time offering to bet very foatish wagers ; with this man John's friend en tered into a dispute, and hinted to John chat they might as well have some of the f tai's money, fur if they did not somebody else would.

BQ NV-STMT. William Conolly end Thomas Junes were brought up by Iluthven, charged on suspicion of having stolen a letter addressed to Lord Sidmouth, containing a bank post.bill fur 101. A letter addressed to the Noble Lord with the inclosure men tioned paßsed through the GeneraPPost Office, but never was de livered. The bill was taken to the Bank of England and endorsed before it was known that it was stolen. It was afterwards traced to the possession of Lewis Benjamin, the proprietor of a place called How.Od's Coffee-house, in Duke's-place, Iloundsditch ; and Huth ven, upon farther inquiry, learned that the two prisoners came there one morning, and Conolly requested change for the bill in ques tion. Benjamin took it to the Bank, and having ascertained that it was genuine, he gave the change, and Conolly bought a watch in the house for 4!. Conully, in his defence, said he found the bill rolled up in the fragments of a letter in Albemarle street. Jones had no more to do with the matter than having advised him (Conolly), when asked what was best to be dune with the bill, to take it to a Jew. • It was stated that the poisoner Conolly told Benjamin that be re ceived the bill from his father in the country. Conolly was remanded till Monday, and Jones was discharged. The former was in tht service of Mr. Spankie, late the Advocate- General of Bengal, when taken. Jones is a servant out of place. MA RLBOROUG H-STREET. Yeatt;rday Madame de Gill, a foreign lady of very elegant ap pearance and manner, who has repeatedly made similar complaints at this office, applied to Sir GRORCI TARRANT, the Sitting Magis trate, for advice how to proceed to get rid of what she denominated a most intolerable nuisance. This Lady stated, that the Magistrates were aware, as she had represented some months ago at this office, that Mr. Henry Hunt had got possession of the shop and parlour of a house No. 16, Pall Mall, belonging to a relation of her's, a Colonel in the Army, by a stratagem; because, had the Colonel know n that his house Was to be converted into a " iLdical coffee shop," he never would have let it for such a purpose. Since then, the Colonel had been holding out every inducement to Mr. hunt to quit the premises, hut in vain ; and proceedings are now being taken to effect that object by law. Mr. Hunt, on the other hand, is us ing every means of annoyance to drive the Colonel and his family, who occupy the upper part of the house, from their abode, and get the whole house into his own possession. Mad. de Gill said, that scarcely a night passes that the whole neighbourhood is not disturbed by the proceedings carried on in Mr. Hunt's shop. In the first place, she said the shop itself is never closed until twelve o'clock at night, and from the time it is closed until six o'clock in the morning, there is a constant influx of various descriptions of persons, soldiers, fe males, &c. to the premises, when the most uproarious noises are carried on--dancing, or rather jumping. the whole night long in the parlour and shop—blowing horns, scraping fiddles, and, in fact, such a loud and horrid discordance, as to render it quite impossible to live in the house; indeed, for many nights past, not one of the inmates had been able to get any sleep, and all this proceeding, Madame de Gill said, was sanctioned by Mr. Hunt, and practised by the persons in his employ. The neighbours, she said, are every day complaining of the nuisance, as they are equally disturbed, and the Colonel not being at home, she really knows not what to do. Sir GEORGE TARRANT said, that he regretted very much he had no power to render her any assistance, or afford her any redress. If, however, any of the neighbours felt these proceedings as a nui sance, they might indict the parties who practised or suffered them to go on. Madame de Gill then left t. .e Office, evidently much disappointed, and at a loss how to proceed. Mary Myers and Margaret Bowler, two respectably dressed fe males, were brought to the office and charged as impostors. Condie, a constable of St. George's parish, said, that about one o'clock that day he was called to the house of Earl Fltzwilliam, in Grosvenor square, to take the prisoners into custody, which he did in the ball of his Lordship's house. Lord Fitzwilliam's butler attended and said, that these two wo men had been for several days past in the constant habit of annoy. ing his Lordship with begging letters, and way-laying him where ever he went. They even followed him to bis banker's, and there tormented him to listen to their tales of distress. They were al -1 ways to be found at the street-door at the titnes that his Lordship was going cut in his carriage and returning home, and on that day they had actually followed him into the hall, and behaved in a most insolent manner. The butler said that his Lordship's humanity and charitable dis position was so well known, that there was scarcely a day that he did not receive forty or fifty letters from such persons as the pri soners. These women, he said, bad no claim whatever on the Earl, nor did the family know anything of them. Mr. Draft, the Magistrate, said that they should both be com mitted as vagrants and impostors ; but the butler said that it would not be the wish of his Lordship to imprison them if they would only promise to keep away for the future. This they promised to do, and were discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. Edward Elliot, a tradesman-like looking man, was brought up, charged by Mr. Duke, of Chancery-lane, with having wantonly broken a pane of glass in his shop-window, on Wednesday night, as also with outrageous conduct when in the watch-house. The prisoner, when called on for his defence, proceeded as fol lows :—A 4 My Lord, I was going up Chancery-lane with some &oil cloth under my harm, and a broom in my and; the broom happered to brush this Gentleman's virulow ; but, I assure your Lordship, it did not do the least arm. As to the wlch-hotoe, I only tried if the vimlow was strong, by giving it a crack of the stick." The damage amounted to 40s. and the Magistrate asked bin: if he was content to pay it ? " Please your ifojesty," he replied, " not in twenty years would I pay it." As it would be rather tedious for the complainants to wait for that period to ascertain the temper of mind of the defendant, they were satisfied with his being sent to prison for twenty days, the debt being _thus paid off at a shilling a day. GUILDHALL ' -- Brown, alias John Newton, who bas been living for some days at the White Hart, ButcherhaU-lane was charged with hav ing absconded from his service and robbed his employers, Maur& Blain and Saunders, merchants at Liverpool, of property to the amount of 2001. or 3001. Mr. Wright, of 41darmanbury, stated, that he received a letter on the 3d instant, from Messrs. Blain and Saunders, informing him that their clerk, John Newton, had robbed them tq a great extent, and•absconded. Amongst the property Were Vve"Bank post•bills for ltg. each, and furnished him with the numbers and descriptions, requesting him to stop the payment of them at the Bank. He ac cordingly did so ; and on Wednesday received a notice that one of them had been paid in by Curtis and Co.the baniers, who had re ceived it from Carroll, the lottery-office keeper. He there found it had been received in payment for a share of a lotterylicket, from a young man answering Newton's description, and who wrote upon the note, " Mr. Brown, ♦White Hart, butcherhall-lane." lie• then procured the assistance of Herdsheld and Pprestcr, tw,o City offi cers, the former of whom apprehended the prisoner. Forester found on him a 101. Bank post-bill, one of those described in the letter, and nine sovereigns. The prisoner, who appeared to be perfectly at his ease, expressed a wish to be sent at once to Liverpool, in the expectation that his friends there would be able to compromise the business. Alder man BRIDGES, however, thought it more proper to wait until some communication had been received from his employers, and accore ingly remanded him for a few days. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday, at the examination of three juvenile offenders, the LORD Matron took occasion to comment at some length on the rules of the charity called the Refuge for the Destitute, which; in only admitting within its operation those who had been convicted in the criminal Courts, left the much larger class of young offenders brought up for examination at Police-offices, and driven to bad courses by the want of friends, or honest means of subsistence, wholly unnoticed. From these remarks his Lordship came to the conclusion, that there existed a strong necessity fur some other in- stitution, where temporary employment cold be found for this class of juvenile depredators. lu consequence of the reports of what he had stated the other day, several of the most respectable citizens had come forward to express their willingness to kiwd their efforts I to the eliblishment of such an institution as that which he con ceived to be so highly desirable. He bad, amongst others, received a note to the following effect " Mr. N. M. Rothschild presents his compliments to the Lord Mayor, and in reference to his Lordship's observations in the News-' Ipapers of this morning, on the cases of three boys—Woodward, Abbott, and Earnshaw—cannot but concur most seriously with his Lordship's remarks on the necessity of an institution being formed for the reception of such juvenile depredators, and others found in. a state of destitution. Should such an establishment be eventually formed, either through nii Lordship's or other interference, 1.11 r... Rothschild begs leave to offer X5O towards its support." I lis Lordship had returned an answer, in which he thanked Mr. Rothschild fur his humane offer, sad assured him that it was the conviction of his mind, founded upon experience, that by far the greater number of juvenile depredations were occasioned by the want of friends and employment. lie had fully explained his feel ings on the subject several months since to some active Gentlemen of the Committees of the Houseless Poor, and to others who bad taken are active part respecting the Loudon Workhouse. They seemed to accord with hins,and they were to meet at the )lansion house to form some plan for a permanent-institution. The London Workhoute was a large building, which might be applied. The Committee of the Hoeseless Poor had very large funds in halt, by which, with the aid of individuals, and perhaps with the aid of the Corporation, the object might speedily be effected. In consequence of this communication to Mr. liothschild, Mr. Montetiore had of fered a personal subscription of ZiO, and a number of other Gen tlemen had made similar offers, 24IARY-LA-BONNE OFFI Ann Dense, alias Ann Dattldty; was brought np by Abraliam Lorimer, a constable of St. Pancras, charged with having robbed Solomon Levein, of Arlington-street, in whose service she lived nine months as a nurse-maid. The prosecutor stated, that property to a considerable amount be longing to Mrs. Levein and other branches of his family, had been missed, and one of the servants bad also lost a purse, and in the box of the prisoner, the spring was found. The prisoner then conlecwci that she had taken thy purse and burnt it, and also admitttd having taken the property of the prosecutor, consisting of bed-linen and wearing-apparel, which she gave to a Gentleman's servant, who-c name was James Drain. The young man appeared, and pre.itively denied that he had seen the prisoner far the last nine months, and said that she was charged at Union-hall nine months since with robbing a person in whose service be then lived, and she then went by the name of Ann Dunkley. Mr. Levein expressed the greatest surprise at the servant's story, which, if true, he (Mr. Levein) hat been grossly imposed upon, as he bad a very excellent character with her from a tradesman of re spectability when she entered his service. Mr. Raw•ttxsov, the Magistrate, asked the name of' the person, and ordered him to be sent for. A Gentleman named Drcwell very soon afterwards made hii ap pearance, and stated that the prisoner was his wife's shtrr, who gave her the character to Mr. Levein. _ _ Mr. Levrin—Why, Sir, you were present at the time :he charac ter was given. This was denied by Mr. Drewell, who alin dectired that he never before heard of her being charged with felony. James Drain, the young man who was charged with being the receiver of the stolen property, then stepped forward, and said, he was at Union-ball when the prisoner was charged with robting her mister, tut she was discharged ; and then, with Drewell and him self, went into a tavern and drank wine: therefore TOr. Drewell must have been very well aware of her being charged ww•ith felony. hlr. Drewell denied every syllable of this. After s:,rne further conversation, the prisoner was fully com mitted, and it was understood that an information would be filed aLainst Drewell fur giving a false character. Among the visitors at present at Brighton, are a number of Chancery banisters. Their favourite resort is the' suspension pier. Tuesday, the PROVOST, Magistrates, and Council of Aberdeen conferred the freedom of that city on Colonel the Hon. J. Ramsay, of Kelly. On this occasion an elegant entertainment was given to Colonel RAMSAY, in the Town Hall, to which many' of his friends were invited, and a numerous body of Gentlemen of the town. The LORD PROVOST presided. According to an official statement from Copenhagen, the number of births last year in the kingdom of Den mark exceeded the deaths in a very remat kable ptopor tion, viz. —Births, 37,948 ; Deaths, 20,971. Friday evening, as a little girl was proceeding down the Manor Chare, Newcastle, with a cup of o►l of vi triol in her hand, a bladder, kicked by some boys, bounded against the cup, and scattered its contents upon a young woman with a child in her arms, both of whom, it is feared, will be deprived of sight. The girl who carried the cup escaped unhurt. ANOTHER FoSSILWIIALE.—The workmen on the new line of road from the Alloa Ferry to Glasgow, while cutting through some dry clayey land, a little d►stant from Dunmore Park, discovered several immense sized bones lying in regular order, and traced out the spine and ribs to a length of about seventy feet. Except a few, however, the bones crumbled to powder on long exposure to the atmosphere. On the 13th, during a heavy 1:111 of snow, there was a thunder storm at Mendorif, in Hanover. The lightning struck three windmills that tw•ere still going ; it set one in flames ; in the second it strnck the miller, whose stocking was burned, and who remained for a time senseless ; in the third it entered above, and issued through the door below, which was open. A thick cloud of smoke immediately arose from this mill ; the lightning had, however, only set fire to one sack, and it was immediately put out by a boy, who was in the mill. A seal of monstrous size was caught some days ago near the mouth of the Tweed by some fishermen, when the creature bolted up from the water, its large glaring eyes almost terrified the men who were near it. When killed and cut up, there were found in its stomach nearly half a salmon recently swallowed, and part of another decayed by digestion. Its weight was supposed to be about 50 stone. Saturday week an enormous eel was found entangled amongst the rocks near Ryhope, by two of the Preven tive Service men ; it measures from head to tail six and a half feet, and weighed rather betterpan seven stone and a half. An extraordinary instance of presehce of mind oc curred a few days ago at a village in the-department of the Gard. A farmer, whilst seeking softie sheep which were missing, was attacked by a wolf, which seized his mantle. The farmer immediately twisted it round the animal's head and held him to the ground. Being un able to strangle the wolf, and no one being near, he re mained in this dangerous situation nearly an hour.— Finding the struggles of the animal become gradually less vigorous, he endeavoured unuiccessfully to bleak his legs. At length he kneeled upon his threat and tied his legs with his handkerchief. He next took a large stone and knocked out the animal's brains. At somedistance were three children keeping sheep, who would infallibly have Linen victims to the wolf's vora city.—Paris Pai•cr. The Bury Post of the 21st instant, giving an account of the execution of the four convicts at Bury, says— " To shew the state of Wright's mind, we insert the fol lowing letter, addressed by him to one of his former confederates in crime, residing at Walter Belchamp : ' April 10, Bury Gaol.
