FROM THE SWEDISH OF BELIMAN. - . -- r - MOVITZ. Look ! look how we moulder—for moulder we must, In the temples of darkness when laid ; See the gold and the purple to gravel and dust Transformed by the insolent spade; Old.Cbaron he shouts from his foam-cover'd wave, And thrice has the gravedigger call'd from the grave, The grape-juice must duce thee no more; Come chant for our sister departed a stave— Her tomb-stone turn mournfully o'er. Where the whispering cypress Sings shadows beneath, How calm on earth's bosom to lie, Where ugly arid beauteous, by time and by death, To ashes are turned when they die ! Poor sister! no envy e'er troubled tby way; Misfortune, that wields such an absolute sways To the kingdom of death will not come; If thine enemy seek thee—'tis only to lay His twice-broken shafts on thy tomb. The little NU echoes the greater bell's sound, The art; ,m-boys forward are led ; The sexton his cypress waves mournfully round ; Now hallow the place of the dead. To the citr—the temple—of death ye must tread, O'er the leaves of dead flowers which the living have spread, 'Midst perishing planks and cold biers— Where the raven-clad mom ners in ranks bend their head, HalLashamed of their natural tears. The hostess of Lotberg is sleeping, alas! Far from tumult, and dancing, and sung; She is sleeping in peace, where the green-waving grass Forms her canopy narrow awl long. Danto•bomnten bath lost her. Oh! why did she fly? And with her went laughter, and music, and joy— Come, juice-grape !—why should I be loth? For oft was she thirsty—and often was I And the bottle gave comfort to both. Of all the Swedish poets, Hellman is the most popular among his countrymen. lie was a map of a warm Anacreontic fancy, but thoroughly imbued with poetic feeling, and a master of poetic ex pression.

Mr. Elaouustass stated the case. It' appeared from the Learned Counsel's statement that the plaintiff was the Captain of a merchant vessel, and* some years ago had set out on a voyage for South America, where he had the misfortune to be shipwrecked. A series of ca. lainities afterwards betel him, and it was not until after an absence of seven years that he again found his way to England, where he arrived in a state of complete destitution. At the time of his departure, he had left Iris wise in the possession of a public house in Liverpool, called the Strugglers, which she continued to manage until the ground on which her house stood was required by the Commissioners of some of the public improve ments in Liverpool. The Commissioners, under the authority of an Act of Parliament, took the land, and offered a compensation to the plaintiff's wife. The wife, who had not for some years heard from her husband, concluded that he was dead, and in order to enable her to complete the sale to the Commissioners, she took out letters of administration, and as ads inistratis she conveyed the property. Sbe afterwards took another pUblic house of a better description in Liverpool, bui the license was, fir sonic reason or other, not taken out in ler own name, but in itie name of Ann Price, a young Lady who resided its t'ie house with ter. Whilst the supposed widow was thus comtort carrying on the public house, her husband, the plain. unapectedly found his way home, and having 'sc. stained the new residence of his wife, lost no time in'repairing thither. It occurred to him, as a matter of course, that his wife's house and furniture were his' own, and he proceeded to take possession. His wife,' however, resisted his right,' on the plea that the house arid . furniture were neither hers nor his, but the property of Ann Price, the young female in whose mime the license had been taken out. The plaintiff then pro cured the assistance of sit sailors, by whose aid he soon' gte•possession of the house. . His trouble., however, vex not at an end, for the defendants, one of whom was the chief constable of the district, and the others petty constables, being sent for, repaired, ten in number, to the house, and besieged the plaintiff and his com rades. Finding that they could not procure an entrance they got a reinforcement, which attended in consider able force, and at length the plaintiff and his friends were ejected, ..and the plaintiff taken to prison, where he was detained until. the following morning. It was for the assault and false imprisonment that the plaintiff's action was brought. It was proved that several articles of furniture which were in the house kept under the Dante of Ann Pric e , had been in the house of the plaintiff benne his departure from England. Mr, Sergeant Caoss, Mt. VJtNABLES, and Mr. AL • DIMON, severally addressed the Jury for the defebcl- 1 anti; and urged that as the house was in reality t'.e house of Ann Price, to Whom the plaintiff's wile only acted 's: assistant, the plaintiff bad no right to force into and continue therein, and had therefore,: upon bis re• fusal to leave, been lawfully expelled. Mr. Justice BATIeII/ said; that if the Jury were con vinced that the house was Mr. Harrison's (and he could hardir believe that "the Magistrates would knowingly have licenied a house forso young a person as Miss Price), then they could not distinguish her propel ty from her 'husband's, and the plaintiff would be entitled to a verdict, Tbi Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then :T -urned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1001. COOK v. Davison. This was an action tor an assault and fake impti• Nutmeat. • - 111r:SIIOUGHASI stated the case. The plaintiff had been tearlienter on board the 'ship Cyrus, of %filch the defendant ad been the Captain, and he had the autho rity. at the defendant himself for . saying. that a better workman bad never gone on bdard a ship. The ship had% sided horn New Orleans, and during the voyage the mate had taken a dislike to tee plaintiff, which be took frequent opportunity of gratifying. When they bad• arrived at New Orleans, the plaintiff was one day constructing a hatch; when the mate, professing to be dissatisfied with the plairt,ff's ter rk, desired frigate alter it. 'The plaintiff (who bad before Wen told by the de fendant. nut Ito take his order a from tbe mate) refused to cosirply, and that refusal he supposed had led to the out , • rage test followed. The Captain,who at first had seemed • pleated with the will kelied afterwards had a conference with the mate,•.and soon •after Vitae gens domes had been placated from the shore, by whom the plaintiff had been e seized and conveyed to a dungeon.: three yards and a half square, in a h cis, at the tame time,•29-dthes individyals•h.d been confined. After •remaining 46. that place 48 hour, the plaintiff had been carried b.(ore•thb authoi stars at New. Orleans, and then, upon some comp grovrtdl/.4.tittba litstebadbeen sent to another. • prison, where he had been kept 12 Jays longer. It had only been when the vessel was actually undo r sail tsi return to England that the plaintiff had been released, and perhaps the release had only thee taken pl4ce bdc cause the defendant was aware Via tere• was claw which made it highly penal in the Captain of a British' ship to leave a British :seaman abroad. It was tri red color damages for false im'pritonment that this 'action Was brought. Witnesses were called, who proved the case as stated by Mr. Brougham. In cross-eraminatien, Mr. Wll.Ltastaelicited that the plaintiff had refused to assist in wealth* the'deck when desired by the mate. It was also Nosed that the plaintiff had been carried before a Magistrate; who lied heard the case; but the witness added, that there Vies libt much liberty or egriality in America Ilaughtei), and that the complaint of tite.Captain was 'the bnly thing that was attended to. • 2'. Mr. WILLIAMS contended that there was no proof of ill will on the part of the defendant; whose paiticipa tion had not been an active one, and who WAS only- to be blamed far not having prevented what in the first' instance he had not originated. The Jurrfound fill. the plaintiff—Damages 151. sqLsoteatrO OTHERS S. ANDERTON. Tn;s was an action of trove., brought to recover the value of five bales of good% which had been Shipped - by the plaintiffs at Liverpool on board the ship Monarch, and had fallen into the possession IT the d •tendant, and been detained by him rooler 1 singular circurn s.ances. In the sear 1826. the Nldnarch was freighted by the plaratiffs and other merchants at Liverpool ter Sloth America ; her cargo consisted of haberdashery .nd carpet goods, including the five bales which were sought to be recovered by the present action. She sailed from Liverpool on the 11th March, for Buenos Ayres. It was not then k town at Liverpool that the Emperor of th • Brazils had, on the 18th day of Fens oat y preceding, declared Buenos Ayres and all the ports on the river Plate t., be in a state of blockade. On the 23J of May the Monarch fell in with the I'aranga, a Brazilian fir ,gate of 60 guns, and after a short engagement was captured and carried into Monte Video. At the time of her capture she was within four or five miles of Monte Video. The Par anga a few days afterwards Thoer.eded id) the M:rnsich, with several other ireste.s, towards Rio Janeiro, where the intention was to hive the Monarch condemned, on the ground of her having endeavoured td icrice the blockade. Five of the crew of the Monarch, including the. Captain and two Mate-, Were suffered to 'email) on board, and there were also placed there 22 Brazilian soldiers and sailors. The ship proceeded ithtil she had nearlyreached Rio Janeiro,when the five English sailors took advantage of an opportunity afforded them by only- 7 of the Brazilian soldiers beingat the time on deck, seized aid bound them, and then shut down the hatches and confined the rest et the israzi bans below. The latter were allowed to come sip -one by one, and in that order were secured. The Arnie of the Brazilian crew, except t4a seamen, were then put on board the long boat, and being provided with provisions, were started Ix Rio. Ile Monarch and her crew steered for England, and arrived soon afterwards at Liverpool, with the whole of her cargo in as safe a condition as when she left t' at port. The cargo was afterlards deposited in the warehouse of the defendant: Tire Captain and crew of the Monarch naturally expected some recompense from the owners of the s property which they had saved in the manner described, but as none was granted, they set up a claim for salvage, and instructed the defendant to retain in his possession five of the bales of carpeting until salvage • wa s paid.' All the rest of the proper ty was restored to the plaintiffs and the other owner. The defendant in this action was only a nominal defe-idant, the real defendants being t Captain alt./ tour saiiors of the Monarch. It. was now contended, on the part of the defer:dant, that as the Monarch, at the time of her capture, was not seeking to violate the blockade cf Buenos Ayres, I er 'capture by the Paranva was illegal; and her recapture, therefore, was to be regarded as the reeal.tureot a vessel from an enemy in time of war, in which case salvage was al ways allowed. A variety of legal questions arose, and it was deter mined that' they should form the subject of a special case for the opinion of the Court of King's Bench. Mr. Justice BAYLEY desired the Jury to had whether the Monarch had left Liverpool with the intention of breaking the blockade ? The Jury answered the question in the negative. A nominal verdict was then taken fot the plaintiff— Damages 1,300 i. subject to a case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION lIOUSS. Saturday C. Murphy, a young d:.rk•cyod Irishwoman, charged Margaret Murphy, also an Irishwoman, but not of such prepos sessing appearance, with baying usTcl her with great violence, and thieateued to " stave in" her head with brick-bats. The complainant's husband had been the husband of the de. Pendant, until It was found out that the first marriage was not good in law. As the couple did not agree very well, l‘lr. Murphy was not sorry to detect hie mistake, and he took the advantage of it that might be expected. lie left her, having divided the children be. twerp them; told her she might look about for a new hu.band, as he would have a new wife. Notwithstanding that they bad lived together for the term of nine years, and had several clutdren, be put his promise to marry another into effect. The new Mrs. Murphy, however, was a little more cunning than the old one, for when Mr. Murphy wanted her to go to Mass and be married by Father Silveira, she swore that be should never lay hands upon her until a, Cburch of England Clergyman tied the knot. The aff a ir was confirmed by th- ceremony of each Church, and the newly married couple went home. They bad nut been long at h . when old Mrs. Murphy came to the dour, and began to batter at it with a brick-bat. The story had gone thus far, when Mr. Hobkr interrupted it, by asking the complainant whether she did not think that she de served rough treatment, for having taken away from a poor women a man who was in the eyes of Gott her husband to all intents and purposes? Young Mrs. Murphy declared, that she knew nothing at all about her husband's first engagement, until she saw old Mrs. Murphy after her own wedding. The Loan MATOII a And I dare say if you had, you would not I kayo baulked yourself "—(A laugh). Young Mrs. Murphy —.• Why, we . must all take our chance, your Worship knows. If I happened to be int, I'd have been in old Mrs. Murphy's shoes, and, may be, she would be in mine. But, your Lordship, people should in such an awtui thing, finish the business properly. I knew that the Priests had no power in this country yet, and that, in a matter of a wedding, a bit of a batyeea of a Curate was worth a thousand of 'em"—( laughter). Mr. Hobler—lt is a lamentable thing that such iniquitous dis. tinctions are kept up: many a poor honest mother has been made miserable for life by this ahnird and dangerous yr ju.lice. Why should not a Homan Ca:belic perform the marriage ceremony be tween people of his own flock . The Loan Maroa admitted that the distinction was a cruel one. Old Mrs. Murphy-4 Ah, then, your honour, it's 1 tbat'sabused by him. The minute he lamed that he could throw me off, he did ; but I despite hint.
