• RICII AND POOR ; 'OR, SAINT AND SINNER. . ane The poor man's sins are glaring; In the face of ghostly warning, He i 3 caught in the fact • Of an overt act, Buying greens on a Sunday morning ! - • The rich man's sins are under The rose of wealth and station, And escapes the sight Of the cliddr.nt of light, Who are wise in their generation! r'cli man has a kitchen Wherein to cook his dinner ; The pour wh• would roast, To the baker's must post, And thus becomes a sinner ! The rich man has a cellar, And a ready butler by him; The pour man must steer For his pint of beer, Where the saint can't choose but spy him ! Tire rich man ' s painted windows Bide the concerts of the quality; • The pour can hut share A crack'd fiddle in the air,— hich offends all sound morality! The rich man is invisible In the crowd of his gay society : But the poor man's delight Is a sore in the sight, And a stench in the nose of piety ! IVELCII CLEIWY. Tint the poor Welch Parsons were but too well ac quainted with the meaning of " Res augusta demi" is sufficient!) , notations, but it is surely a nstronal oppro brium that men of respectable literary attainments and of exemplary conduct should be so lar reduced by po verty, as to accept with grateful eagerness the discarded vestments of their more fortunate brethren. The fol lowing genuine and curious letter, written with true Cambrian verbosity, above 40 years back, will shew what was then the situation olone of these worthy men; there is reason to hope that their condition has been since improved. " TO THE REV. MR. " Reverend and worthy, indulgent and compassionate,bounteous and very valuable Sir—The present you hay, sent me has laid me under an obligation to write rather sooner that I intended, and if I were not to seize the first oppoi (unity of returning you thanks after the reception of so considerable a present, I should be guilty of such a piece of insensibility and ingratitude, that the very stones (to il ludeto the dialect cf Heaven) would become vocal, and rise up to upbraid me, especiilty when a ft.w grateful expressions may be ut tertd without any expense incurred, and the least that can be ren dered to one by whom suck a favour has been bestowed : no one is more ready to acknowledge a benefit, nor perhaps leasable to make a return, than myself. 1 have it in my heart to do as much, and in my power to do as little, in return for favours, as any man living. However,as far a, the efficacy and value of thankful and affectionate expressions extend, I am free to do the uttermost; and were it not impossible for a sheet of paper to contain them, I feel disposed to give you as many thanks as the clothes contain threads. I tiiapk you, my dear Sir, for the very handsome and very valuable black. coat—l thank you for the genteel blue coat—l thank you ft:4 the neat cloth breeches—l thank you for the stuff breeches—l thank you for the pieces you sent to repair them with—l thank you for the beautiful wig—and f thank you for paying the carriage of the whole. Shall I further add, that you have by this present animated and heightened my affections, which your former honourable and hospitable behaviour h:-d before enkindled. I thank you, Sir, and again I thank you. On receiving your parcel la,t Saturday I im mediately had my hair cut off, that I might appear in your wig, and accordingly wore it and your black coat; my body was never so genteelly arrayed since my birth. 'The clothes fitted me welt, and looked gracefully on me; any one who had seen me in my -for mer miserable garments two years ago, would have been apt to think me the reality of one of the metamorphoses of the Roman .poet—so striking was the difference between my present and my former appearance. Dear Sir, you say in your last letter, I have , sent you some clothes if you will not refuse them. Refuse them!, dear Sir, what do you mean? , I am surprised at the expression; if you had sent me the smallest article of apparel, I should have been thankful for it, much more for a present so large and rich as yours, the value of which I know ; 1 am persuaded they vire never yours for ten pounds—whenever you have anything of die kind to spare, I shall receive it with gratitude, and my family will feel the benefit of it. What follows lam ashamed to speak, yet must own that your present would have been increasedly acceptable, bad you obliged me with a waistcoat along with it. I really have not one groper to wear with the coats, and they being so valuable, and fit me so well, it would be a pity to break them. " I have nothing to add but an expression of the most sincere and prevailing concern for your happiness, and am, dear Sir, your highly benefitted and greatly obliged humble servant. P.S. The hand-writing and composition I must apologize for— time being short, tackle bad, matter great, and obliged to write in haste. As I have cut off my hair, am at a loss fora cap ; if you hive any to dispose of, either silk or velvet, I shall be very glad of it." The Shipwrights of Cove are iu constant employment. NVRMAN NAM!, Esq. Supervisor of Bar, is appointed Excise Collector of Kilkenny. In an old pasture field, in the low wounds of the farm Of Falkland Wood, belonging to Mr. Bruce, a large gold chain,, nearly tour feet in length, and com posed of large links, was turned up by the plough, which had come in contact with, and broke it into two lir:equal portions. The chain was immediately taken to Edinburgh, and disposed of to a jeweller for the sum of sterling. The metal was found to be of the purest qualiiy ; there was no inscription or ornament on the links i and the workmanship seemed to be of the coar•est description. e.oNvEYANCE IN lIRITAIN.—The rapidity with which intelligence and passengers are conveyed, and commu nications are accelerated, in this country, has become very remarkable. Thus, from our present mail ar ian,,aements, the papers and letters which left London' on last Saturday evening. at S P.M. reached this city at a qua:ter past 5 P.M. last night, or in 45 hours. After a stoppage of five hours here, during which the public news are printed, and the private communications answered, if necessary, these left this at lialf-pa,t ten last night, reach Edinburgh about four this tnorning, stop there four hours (tillB and then proceed to London, which they reach before 6 A.M. on Thursday morning. returning to the Metropolis in four days and ten hours. The distance run is $2.8 miles in 105 i .hours, incluiing the • time necessary for the ordinary stiipp:agt% for refreshntents, giving out and taking in mails, add:al:line hours of extra stoppages, for th e purpose of contrneiciar business and other matters. The rate - at iebiehtlie aboie distance is tun is a little nitder nine miles an h• ut, including all the ordinary stoppage.:; but exclusive of the s e, late of 9.1 sui!es per hour.—Glasoru Courier. The storm of Saturday and Sunday renniglit has do3e sereat damage to the new Bre .kWater, forming at Whitebaven. Stones weighing Ave tons ban been pitched from their positions to the distance of twenty or thirty feet; and the•whole of the works above water so.-winch injured, that only three tiers of• stinks hail* been left our of seven. The surge wai so strong that it beat over the north and south walls, and the spray at times rose higher titan the extreme point of the lighthouse. ' 1 P• . AIILITARY FUNERA L. • Friday seinnight o the remains of. ' 58th Captain bon, of the Regiment, who died. suddenly at Duncannon Fart on the 11th instant, were con -signed to the grave with military honours, Wended by an immense concourse of persons. of every, ran*, , anxious to witness so interesting a spectacle. The body, ..which was conveyed from. I)u.ncanon Fort by boat to Waterford, escorted by Lieutenant Matteson, and twenty raak and file with revcraed arms, arrived at the Parade, at a quarter past nine o'clock. The whole ,Regiment, which had been previously drawn up in ex pectation of its arrival, having- rec.ived the body, im mediately formed, and shortly after the processsion began to move in the following order: Firing Party, 100 Rank and File, Flank Companies (arms reversed,) Major Dudgeon, Lieutenants Stevenson and Pack, Baud.

CAPTAIN EDWARD CL.II3ON, 56th Regiment, Died 11th August, 1325, Aged 32 Years Chief Mourners.—Mr. John Clabon (brother to deceased), Ensign Ctuice, 56tb liegimet.t, Main Body of the Regiment, marching in inverted order, the Commanding Officer bringing up the rear. The Procession marched in slow time along the Mall, and up Colbeck-street (where the troops under arms fell into line at each side of the street), the band play ing the Dead March in Saul. On reaching the burial ground of Christ's Church, the Regiment drew up in the square, and the coffin was conveyed through the grand entrance into the body of the Cathedral, and placed on forms immediately under the reading desk. The Church was now filled in every part, when the Rev. Mr. Hobson commenced reading, to a most nume rous and attentive audience, the beautiful,funeral ser vice of oar Church, a part of which consisted of the 15th chap. of St. Paul's Ist Epistle to the Corinthians. When the service had concluded, the coffin was carried out in the same order in which it had been brought in, and committed to the grave, with the usual solemnities, which on this occasion seemed to affect the feelings of the spectators with a peculiar impression. The last honours were performed by the troops under arms by firing three 'trollies over the grave, when the ceremony terminated. The spectacle was altogether of a most interesting description, and attracted a vast number of highly respectable persons. The interment had been deferred, for the arrival from England of Mr. Clabon, the brother of the deceased. Captain Clabon was a native of Suffolk, and has left a widow, and four female children. CURIOUS CASE OF LUNACY. An Inquisition was last week held at the White Hart Inn, Salisbury, to inquire whether a Gentleman of pro perty, *named Sackville Burroughs, Esq. was, or was not a lunatic ? Mr. Sackville Burroughs (the lunatic) stated, that the people in the house had been using coercive measures with him ; that they wished to take away his property; that he bad a large sum of money, from 200 to 300,0001. in. Paris, sent there by Mr. Coutts, in case he should be arrested while on the Continent ; that he had been in Parliament for Preston, in Lancashire, and had been voted a Peer of the rea lm. Dr. Finch, in describing the incoherent notions of Mr. Burroughs, said, among other things, when he first came to me, the Duke of Wellington was an object of his re venge. He said be had been persecuted by him on ac count of his having greater influence in the country than the Duke, and on account of his promotion. He then changed the object from the Duke to Lord Liver pool, and said, if he had an opportunity he would kick them, and shoot them, and be revenged of them. About a fortnight ago Lord Radnor and Lord Folkestone were objects of lus revenge. He believes in supernatural agency, and fancies that the secrets of the Cabinet art conveyed to him thereby. He says, that the Ministers have given 50001. each to Lord Folkestone and others to rat. He told me he had been examining Dr. Rees'. Cyclopedia, and found that nine things in ten were wrong. He said Dr. Rees called a ship a machine; but he called it a piece of a machine, made up of sympathy. I asked him how an inanimate thing could be capable of sympathy ? He answered, in the same manner as the wool of a coat sympathised with the sheep from which it was taken. He fancies himself a Peer of the realm, and has with his peerage from 100 to 500,000/. Dr. Grove examined—l had some conversation with him about the Cabinet Ministers. He said Lotd Liver pool and Lord Grey, under the sanction of the King, had murdered Mr. Perceval. I asked him how he knew? He said he had secret -intelligence that a man at Mr. Warburton's hod provided the pistol. He said all his meat was drugged—it had a great effect upon his con stitution, and made him as rampant as a bull. He said he had a large sum of money left him by the will of Mr. Coutts ; that he was in the possession of Fonthill, wh•ch he intended to sell. He talked of starting a stage-coach from London to Fonthlll, and said he knew I,e should lose 20001. a-year by it, but still he would start it. He also said he was a Peer of the realm, and sat in the House of Commons; that he had a privilege of sitting in either House. He abused Rees's Cyclope dia, and said he could write a better in a few weeks ' He also abused Lord Pembroke. He told me he was not mad, but was confined by Government, on account of opposition to Ministers. He also told me many othet things, but so incoherently that I could not follow him. The medical men were decidedly of opinion that Mr. Burroughs was insane; and the Jury pronounced accordingly. The Governor of the State Of Rhode Island has a sa lary of only 400 dollars a-year, and the Lieutenant-Go , vernor receives only 200 dollars. RECEIPTS OP THE FRENCH THEATRES.—Niuch interest has been excited in Paris by the fi:e at Satins, which was of a most ruinous nature; and among other means - devised to raise funds to relieve the sufferer!, benefits on thtir behalf were given at some of the principal Theatres.

He was native Black , Tankard. and is said to have been a smuggler In isis younger days: he had cep . tainly acquired all the hardiness and indifference of that intractable class, though, contrary to their custom, he was a very careful man of his money. On some quarrel with his relations, concerning the division of a trifling property, be quitted his home and original oc cupation about thirty years ago, and commenced working soberly with a spade and pickaxe in this quarter. His home was a mi serable hovel without a window—his only bed a frame of sticks. He was of quiet habits, and seldom moved to anger, except by the offer of female assistance in the arrangement of his household con cerns—a circumstance which (from whatever cause) never failed to infiamq his choler. Though a laborious and regular workman, he never took more than one meal a day ; and this he bad prepared for him at breakfast time (along with a single glass of whisky) by the landlady it the Bow-of-Fife. At other meal-times he took his seat quietly on a stone while his comrades ate, or perhaps indulged himself in a draiight of water, but was never known to taste food. One morning, some years ago, while sitting at his single meal, a stranger catre in whom Andrew Immediately recognized as the brother who had offended him. The stranger seated himself on the opposite side of the fire, and, calling for a bottle of ale, said to the landlady, " Do ye ken ony body o' the num: o' Birrel hereabouts? his name is Andrew—l lea ana seen him for this five an' twenty year, and I would like weel to find him." Mrs. Wanton, who did not know wh it reason oar customer might have f)r remaining con cealed, gave little answer; and Andrew continued quietly to mas ticate his breakfast ; at last, having finished his eatables, he took up his glass of whisky, and nodding to the stranger, drank it off, saying. " flue's to you, I'm thinking there's twa Birrei's in the house i' the now," and taking his hat, he went away without another word. He died worth five pounds, which were very willingly expended by the neighbours, according to his directions, in providing a liberal d raig :Herald. . MELAACHOLY SHIPIViIECK. Foundered in the tremendous gale on Saturday, the 13th instant, the schoooer Gipsey, of Newry, John Christian, master. The above vessel sailed from Warrenpoint on the 12th, fur Chester, with a cargo of cattle. During the gale on Friday night her sails were split, when she, of course. was left to be but . - fetted by the hand of that dreadful storm, and on Sa turday night, with its force, driven on the West Hoyle Bank, neat Liverpool. While the vessel was dashing to pieces at this awful gate of death, the crew, three in number, launched out the boat, which was immediately taken possession of by the passengers, seven in number, when she upset and engulfed the whole (many of whom, we believe, have left families to lament their untimely fate) in the fathomless deep, where the tide, we are told, runs at the rate of ten knots an hour. At this perilous moment, when the vessel was separating with every coming wave, the crew, with great exertions, regained their boat, and in it were tossed to and fro over the waves for seven hours. The reader may fancy what must be the feelings of those men, when every coming tearing wave seemed to be the awful messenger to demand their presence at the bar of God. However, -their sand of life had longer time to run ; and after encountering all the perils of a dark and stormy night, on a very dangerous sea, they gained the coast of Wales, where a Clergyman of the Established Church, with the kind spirit of his GREAT MAsTut, reached out the hand of charity and bens au. lence to the exhausted mariners.—Newry Telegraph. FORGED PASSES. -~- Saturday week were committed (by JOHN Knits, and JAMES LEr., Esqrs. two Justices of the Peace for the hundred of Bassetlaw), to the House of Correc tion at Soethwell, for one month's hard labour each, charged with being idle and disorderly persons, Mary Ennessey, Mary Purcell, Mary Miller, alias Jane Hooper, and Jane jbnes, alias Ann Davis. The me thod they made use of for obtaining money, was by chewing false passes, dated Bombay, the 2d of Feb. 1625, and signed, J. DOLBY, Commanding Officer of the 4th, or Queen's Own ; whereas to have been correct, it ought to have been J. C. DALSIAC, who is Ist Lieut.- Colonel of the 4th Light Dragoons; to which was also affixed the name of J. P. HINSON, as Magistrate. They were apprehended :at Dunham, having obtained 15s. from the Overseer of Ragnall, near East Retford ; and the tale then made nse of was, that they had two and twenty children, two of which only made their appear. ance, the others they had left on the road ; and in order to carry their nefarious practices better into effect, they had with them printed script receipts to give to each Overseer who granted them relief; and as there are several others of the same denomination travelling in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, we subjoin a copy of the receipts, which they stated were given to them by a woman who had gone forward to Lincoln, which we hope will in some measure have ;he effect of checking an evil which in the present day has be come greatly, too prevalent : Copy.—Paid from to Miles, her usual allowance for her self and children, lied. per woman, and Id. for each child per mile, according to Act of Parliament passed 58th George 111. belonging to his Majesty's Regiment of serving at —. Total sum received 1281.-11er Mark.—Dwicager Gazeue. Saturday last, an Inquest was held at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, on the body of John Turner, who was run over in Surrey-street by a waggon, and the Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death ; at the close of which, several of the Jury from St. Bride's parish again requested the Coroner would summon a Jury from St. Andrew's, stating, that they were put to extreme in-, convenience by being compelled to serve on Juries out of turn, and hoped St. Andrew's parish would be com pelled to share a part of the burden. A Gentleman present said, that in consequence of the threat held out by the Coroner, the Beadle of St. Andrew's had taken legal advice upon the subject, and would in future attend to the Coroner's warrant. Mr. SHILTON s upon this understanding, said, the next warrant should be directed w him. At the Great Sessions, Carnarvonshire, Robert Ro berts, a labourer, was indicted for the murder of Ca therine Roberts, a respectable farmer's wife, with whom he had formerly lived as servant. A female servant of the deceased proved, that on the morning of the 27th of May, the prisoner came into her master's house—her mistress and three maid-servants were present. The prisoner had a bill-hook in his hand, with wilizh he struck witness a blow on the head, and afterwards, struck her mistress several blows on the head ard arms. He appeared as if deranged• at the time. He had never quarrelled with the deceased. Two surgeons proved that the wounds inflicted on the deceased were the cause of her death. Three witnesses proved the pri soner was insane at the time. Verdict—Not Guilty, oh the ground of insanity. JantestDison, who was found guilty, and had sen tence of death passed upon him at the' last Northamp ton Assizes, for a forgery on the banking firm et Messrs. Smith and Co. Northarntiton, and Wlld was respited during his Majesty's pleasure, has had his sen ,rence commuted to transportation for life. „ POLICE INfELLIOENCE. -14 00 ,0-•• MANAI4IN-ROUSE.

Mr. ADOLPIIf" submitted that the fac ts did not j‘salfy the 1.1,4 , Mayor in calling on the prisoner to account bow he came bs note first, because the possession was not recently elate the Wow nett, that it was only a part of the property stolen ; and lastly, ft,* its being of a nature likely to pass front one person to' anotheran tat ordinary transactions of business, and might, therefore, be n , sumed to have passed tbrough many hands in the course of the months that had intervened between the loss and its bring fouad at the prisoner's house. _ _ _ The Loito Maxon, however, exprested intentitut to cormsik for the felony; and Mr. Mohler, the Clerk, then read from hit book thy account which the prisonvr had given at a private exandoo. than, where he bad stated that he had bought the note at Pain t ed brought it with him to England; and thee gave a diterent seetogn, by saying, that he hail been present when it was changed by a Me- Vyse, at an Exchange Broker's, teho had after Wards told king it was a stolen note, and insisted on having the amount back; where— upon he left the value with a Miss Marcel, who got the notes said transmitted it to him in London. These coniradictery accounts, the Loan piston said, threw great discredit on the prisoner's con duct ; and, from the advice he had taken, and his own judgnseitt,lte had no alternative but to send the case to a Jury. The ultimates were thereupon bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner :ally committed. The 1.01U3 MAvois, however, on its being intimated that an application was intended to be made to a Judge, to get the prisoner baikd, allowed taint to return to the Compter, instead of sending hint to Neal/ate. BOW-STREET. - Saturday, Thomas Smith, a farrier, :SO years of age, wai titarged with violating the person of Eliza Benson, aged fourteen years.— The prisoner, in his defence said, that what had. taken place was with the perfect consent of the prosecutriz. The prosecutriz se lousily denied that such was the case, and he was remanded. M A lit Y-L A.BON N Saturday being the day appointed for the further investigation al the case of Eleanor Staples, who had applied to Maryla-bounefs. rish for relief, several respectable inhabitants of the parish attended to hear the expected argument. The poor woman in question was in attendance at an early hour, and after waiting a consid era bl e time, Mr. Stocker, the parish officer,. made his appearance. Mr. Stocker held a private conversation with 111 r. GaIIFFIMS, and 'Airs. Staples was then called before them. Mr. Gatryrrns then told her, that the parish would relieve her children by paying her 2s. per week for each, and in the manner that she had requested. The arrears were also to be paid. LAMBETH STREET. ?Tarried Milehley, a young girl, 15 years of age, was charged with having absconded from Mr. Earls, of Barne's-place, 11ile-end-road, to whom she was apprenticed. It appeared that in August last the girl was sent up front her mother's house, in the City of Yak, and apprenticed to Mr. Earls, as a servant. Near Mr. Earls' resident..., a Captain on half-pay bad, with his wife and family, taken up his residence; and having seen the girl, who was possessed of some beauty, he in a short time persuaded her to quit 11::r master's house. A bundle of letters wax found in the girl's box, all couched irk tttai language of an ardent lover. The girl also admitted that the had passed the previous night with her seducer, but from the last letter, it was evident he Intended to discard her. Ile had accused ha ti bestowing her favours on others besides himself, and had also changed her lodgings. Mr. limssvices, the Magistrate, endeavoured to persuade her to return to her parents , and assured her, front the languag e of the letter, that her lover had actually made preparations fur thrit septa. ration. The girl said she did not wish to return to her friends die. graced as she was; but when the Magistrate told her she mune( necessity subsist on the wages of prubtitution, she consented to rt.. turn to her ',lends, and until they could be apprised of the olives*. stance, the was ordered to be lodged in the Hume of Correction.

Ile complained that the report of the case in the papers whe calmiated to impeach his cha racter, and handed a paper to the Magistrate for his perusal. Mr. Au.sx having read it, and found that the report was aserect, with the exception of one trifling error, said, tha.t so long as the Oestk men connected with the Newspapers, who attended the office, rer ported the cases with candour and fairness,. he would never inter fere with their pursuits. The case having been restated and fatty proved, the dehndant was fined in treble the amount of the otter• charges, amounting to V.

ANTIQUE SPEAR.—An ancient Irish brazed spear head, each as was used in • Ireland at a very early period of her history, is now in possession of Mr. Car ruthers, of Belfast. It is two feet eight inches •in length, perfect in form, of rather elegant constructira; and completely resembling the spear heads occasionally found where the battle of Canna WAS fought by Hai. uibal. The Irish used brazen instruments of war, bah of the sword and the spear kinds, exactly similar in shape and dimensions to those wielded by the Cartha ginians—a proof of their common descent from Phcelti dais ancestors. The spear in possession of Mr. Carru thers was found at some distance below the bed of stream at Ballygowan, in the county of Down. It is in perfect preservation, though somewhat bronzed 'n colour, as if it had been deposited in a stratum'of peaty matter.—Belfast News Leiter. MARRIED. Rev.
