MORNING. When from the gloom of sorrow's dreary night S..vect sleep fled, and feverish and alone wander'd o'er time fields, 'tlt broad and bright The gonious orb of lift and day bath shone; ' How have I joyed to make yon hoary tower, Ulf:ailing slowly 'necth the morning beam llil misty mantle grey !—in such an hour, To &snow's eye, do Nature's beauties seem More beauteous—and the troubled heart is still ! The shy-reflecting lake—the vocal grove— The cheerful plsin, sod softly-shadowed Wake thoughts unutterable;—that do move The spirit's love for this sweet-storing earth, And joy profound —though unallied to mirth; COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held for the transaction of public business. It was expected that the Report ref the Tithe Committee, relative to an application to Parliament for the relief of the parishes s•tihject to the cl.sims under the Act of the 37;11 of lIcrryVIII. would hive been brow;lit up, bit 05%in,L , to the delay of the other business, and the Ln M Awn being summoned to attend as a witness in the Court of King's Bench, it was put The Lonu MAYou, in pursuance of the request of the' Court of Aldermen of Tuesddy last, laid before the Court a copy of the Report for an application to Par lialsi-nr for the removal of the prisener's from the Bo rough Compte: to the Prisons within the City: which as read, and referre.! to the Committee icirecting the Expense, of the several Jail-, to consider and re pot t thereon. A Petition was presented from the Bailiffs, High Steward, Recorder, and Freemen, of the Town of King ston, in relation to the rebuilding Kingston Bridge. Read, and referred to the Navigation Committee. A Petition was also pre,ented from sundry owners and occupiers of wharfs and buildings in Southwark, near Tooky-street,. between London Bridge and Saint Olave Stairs, relative to the damage done to their wharfs and buildings, by the len:oval of the London Bridge Waterworks, and the works now cart ying on in the erection of the new Bridge, which was referred to the Committee superintending the new Bridge. The Committee for General Purposes presented a Re port in relation to the office of principal Clerk of the Court of Requests, which was referred back for recon sideration, and for the Committee to tepo:t on the qua lifications requisite for that office. THE PROPOSED QUAY. Mr. Alderman WarrosiaN presented a Petition from several Owners of Wharfs ou the North Bank of the Thames, rerrobating the proposed improvement of Colonel Trench, as depreciating materially the value of their property. When the plan had been originally proposed, doling his Mayoralty, he had carefully re frailied from expressing any opinion on the subject then, as he entettained no doubt that the question would be agitated in that Court. He would now ex press, as his opinion, that if the thing could be done without seriously iojuting these persons' property, it would lie a mo• t es eiitial improvement to the City l o gent ral.—The Pr. ition w as then *Aeries' to the Thames Navigation Committee. ITALIAN AND SPANISH REFUGEES. OLDITAM gave notice of a motion relative to the sulocription that was going on for these unfortunate eii:es. Ile thought it high time that the Corporation should take some steps in the business. bT. BRIDE'S, PLFET-STREET. Mr. SLADE btolight np a Petition from several of the inhabitants of Flet t-st t eta, ielative to the throw ing open to the public the view of the Spire of St. Par liameot, in the time of Chat les H. had granted a duty • on coals to meet the expenses of the necessat y improve ments in die City, hut that dot) hod long been appro priated to other I.m prises. The e-tonare of the present improvement anoitrae:l to 7.010. of which I.ooo'. had alteady been subscribed, and he tinged that the Corpo ration would nook their sense of the undettaking, by furwai ding the subsctiotion. Mi. Alderman WAITIIMAN would support this Pe t:tion, as he had uniformly done every °tie that he thought likely to condoce to the improvement of the metropolis, but he riuld not help cam essing his sor prise, that as Alderman of the Ward in which the Church of St. 13t ides oas situated, no asp; lication had been made to him thioughout the who:e affair. The only notices that he had teceised even of the meetings, mete &titer through the public prints, or else by the common printed circulars that were distributed to every inhabitant of the Ward. Float what this neglect arose, he could not divine; be never had any quarrel with any of the inhabitants, and he scarcely could believe that any political consideration - could be the cause of such conduct. Ile could not, however, for a moment doubt, that it was intended as a pointed insult to himself. It should not, however, pi event him from supporting the viyer of the Petition. The Lotto Nlayon said, that on the occasion of his being requested to take the_ chair at the public meeting that had been held on the business, he had obsei ved to the I, • r sons who had proposed that honour to him, whether it would not have been better to have applied to the worthy Alder matt (Waithnto) for that purpose, as the thing ar reared to him merely local? The an swer, however, teas, that the thing was considered as a general impo.vement to the City at large, and on that understanding hid consented to preside. Mto Aide] in. WavritmaN wag glad his Lordship had given that . explanation, not that he supposed the iasrlt tit all tested with his Lordship; brit because he gatherea from what his Lordship h :•aid, that the affair had snuck him iii the o-me light as it had him self.—The Petitipo was than reforred to the Improve • went Committee. - CAMIZT t.r IttliVENTs llerrt was received from the General Purposes' Committee, upon the duties and emoluments of the Chief Clerk or the Court of Requests, and on the quuli ,fications of the different Candidie.es, before the present vaealier• is 2; filled up. - \fir. JONES hoped, that in future the office would be by a professional man. Mr. Dom siroan ho e ed, that the Repot t would he sent back to the Committee of General Purposes, to consider the prowler,' of applying to Parliament foi lease to etteiid the jiiiikl.ctirin Of the Court at Requests. The Petition Was finally ordered to be bent back to the Committee, an_ :It - I - If4-.• Nest floor the Court adjourned.

We understand that the Costorn 11.asse is in a much dangei oils state than the public were led to ex pect, Mr. SSIIRKE, the architect, who has been in con s-ant attendance .it the Custom House for several days past, having declared that he could not insure it from one day to another. Is is not true, as at first reported, that the piles on which the arches are erected hat e given stay, in consequence of the overflowing of the tides. The truth is, that only one arch has given way, and that has arisen, it is reported, from some misma nagement in its construction. The floor of the Long Room has stink as much as six or seven inches, but every precaution has been taken to prevent accidents, by propping and shoring up the defective part. A great number of workmen ,have been employed, for sevtral days past, in the Long Room, in erecting scaf folding to prevent the ornaments of the ceiling from falling on the heads of the clerks below. The expense, likely to be incurred, is estimated at the enormous sum' of 175,000/. The Correctional Tribunal of Beziers has just con demned an uncle and nephew, for an infringement of the Usury Laws; the one has been fined 50.940 francs, 10 cents, and the other 5,970 francs—these two sums forming half the capital which it appeared the offenders had embarked in their usurious pursnitr. The Commune of Gallneukirken has obtained (ions the Emperor of AUSTRIA permission to pass to the Protestant Church, after having received a legal in struction. In 1824, a Commune of the Grand Duchy of Baden demanded and obtained this authority. The following notice was posted by some of the midnight Legislators, on the door of a peaceable and industrious individual, in 13 ,linagur, convenient to Crossmolina, in Ireland : Notice given to all heretics in our land by our Loia the Pope, who will reign in our land for ever, and the Orange Fox who in those years past has threatened us by his law., but w 2 will have none of his members at all in our land, at the year of our Lord 1825, and those who thought to cut us off on those past years, whidi is the damnable yeomen of Crossmolina and Balinagur, het we will soon end them, with our glorious number, we will, these nights will be your doom, this is from headstrong Itock,l that fears no Sock, but will kill all that comes before hinA and we wi:l give them no warning, as they gave us none, but will come to them at the hour of midnight. Balinagur is to suffer as much as Suddom in its time, there is two lads that shall suffer as much as all the rest. (Signed) " CAPTAIN flocs." At a masked ball recently given in Venice, by the Marquis of MuRIGANu, several valuable articles of plate were missing. The circumstance was communi cated to the Marquis, who, at the moment, was in ear nest conversation with one of the Venetian Judges. The latter irsisted that the sole direction of the discovery of the thieves should be intrusted to his vigilance. He sent for the head butler, and ordered him to proceed to the kitchen and assemble the cooks and scullions, taking care that they should be armed with their carving. knives, and prevent any person from enteting or leaving the Palace. These orders were strictly followed. A scullion, endeavouring to glide between two quadrilles that were dancing, fell against one of the persons masked in the character of Punchinello, and hurt his head against the party-columed hump. This curious characteristic of Punch is genes ally filled with wool,. but on this occasion was sufficiently hard to inflict a black eye on the unlucky scullion. The Judge, being. apprised of the circumstance, ordered all the Punch'. nelios to be arrested. The intrepid scullions brought thirty-four of them before the Judge, who ordered all the humps to be cut off, and to the astonishment of the company, the stolen plate was discovered, and also many valuable articles of female attire. Previ ously to this discovery, and during the confusion arising from the examination, several persons had been seized by the Marquis's set rants, and underwent a scrutiny. The minor thefts that bad been committed were innu merable. A lawyer, masked as a Clown, had filled the capacious pockets of his trowsers with sugar-plums and A person in the costume of a Financier, had snugly deposited half a turkey in the bottom of his cocked hat. A Scaramouch was detected, having in his possession two neat's tongues. But, the discovery that caused the greatest merriment, was the miniature por trait of a French Officer, found upon the person of a beautiful Countess, who had only been married two month , . She was masked as a Nun, and the Judge who had been so active in the business of the night, to his infinite vexation, discovered the beautiful vestal to be his own cora sposa. The runchinellos are fully com mitted to prison. Ttie WORD " Dux. " —Some erroneously suppose rh,it it comes from the French word downer, to give, im plying a demand ; but the true origin of this word, too ficgtiesitly used, is from one Jo/ u : Dun, a itintous bailiff, or Sheriff's officer, of the town of Lincoln, so extteme!y active and dexterous at the management of his rough business, that it became a proverb, when a man refused or perhaps could not pay his debts— Why don't you Dun him ?" that is, why do )ou not send Dan to arrest him? Hence it became a custom and a i laverb, and is as old as the days of Henry VII. Bat the word Dun is not merely confined to demand ing payment with importunity, bat to any other thing cieirmilded in a similar manner. We copy the following advertisement from the Plaits butTli Intelligeocer, an American paper hi.orestwr.—Whereas my husband, Jesse Norris, has eloped my bed anti board, without any just cause; this is therefore to caution all persons against harbouring the said Jesse Norris, as I am fi•ly determined not to Hquidate any debts of his contracting. .1— N—, if you hid as many friends as foes, " You might light your pipe and warm your nose; " So now I think I've done my duty, " And you have neithts wit nor beauty. • " Lcvnta NORilis " al November 23,1824. ST. BRIDE'S. The following description of this elegant Church, one of the master-pieces of Sir Christopher Wren, is ex tracted from Elmes's - Biographical Memoirs of that great man:— " The Parish Church of St. Bridget, or St. Bride, on the south side of Fleet.street,was finished this year. 1679, and further embellished in 1699. - This Church is a fabric of great strength and beauty, and is one of the most strking features of the metropolis. Its itrerior is at once spacious, commodious, and elegant ; is one hun dred and eleven feet in length, fifty-seven feet in breadth, and forty-one in height. co posed of a lofty nave, covered with an arched ceiling, and two aisles separatei below by solid pedestals, supporting coupled Doric column., which support the arches of the nave and galleries. The altar is handsomely carved in oak of the Corinthian order ; the pulpit, reading,-desk, and pewing of the Church are in a grand and hald some style. The peculiar ornament of this Church is its beautiful tower, and well-proportioned spire : it is rn;y second to that of Bow Church in beauty, and fully its equal in scientific construction. On a lofty tower, which forms a base higher than the neighbour ing !mutes, crowned with a well-proportioned cornice, rises a s.yhnlate or continued plinth, which supports a cubic tower of the Corinthian order, covered with cir cular headed pediments, and finished with a blocking course, a balustrade, and a well-proportioned vase on each angle. Between these commences the spire, which is octagonal, each face containing an aperture, covered with a semicircular-headed arch; a series cf these, setting off in just proportion, reduces the upper to size sufficient to commence the lofty and well-pro portioned spire, which is terminated by a golden ball and weathercock. The entire height of this fine piece of architeoure, before it was lowered a few feet by the late Sir William Staines, was two hundred and thirty four feet, which is thirty-two feet higher than the Doric column on Fish-street-hill." Tuesday se'nnight, as Mr. Stevenson, land steward to the Earl of DA RNLEY, wax riding on horseback, in com pany with his Lordship and Mr. Collis, along the in tended new turnpike road at Cuxton, he was taken in a fit of apoplexy, fell from his horse, and expired. T. Butler, in the employment of Mr. M , Kenny, of Thomas -street, was waylaid between Portobello Bar racks and Clanbrassin-place, on Thursday evening, be tween five and six o'clock, by a number of men armed with bludgeons who assaulted him in a most urmerci ful manner, and broke his legs. The unfortunate man lies in the Meath Hospital in a very dangerous state.— , Dublin Freeman's Journal. Three life-boats, built for the use of the Royal Na tional Institution for the Preservation of Shipwrecked Mariners, are now lying at the Tobacco-grounds, Rotherhithe, for inspection, preparatory to their being removed to Brighton, Newhaven, and Bideford. Seven more boats are nearly completed fur that Institution. EXPOSURE OF CHlLDREN.—Yesterday morning, as soon as Mr. RAWLINSON took the bench at Mary-la• bonne Office, Morris, the officer, informed him that early that morning he was called on to go to Earl-street, Lisson-grove, where an infant just born lay exposed. Morris stated that' he did so, and found a fine dead male infant, apparently newly barn. Mr. RAWLINSON directed the officer to rake the infant to the Mary-la bonne Infirmary, and to give the Coroner notice. About three o'clock on Friday morning, a fire was discovered in St. Ninian's, a village about a mile dis tant from SLitling. It appears that it had originated in a smithy, in which stood a cow. Some sparks from the fire had probably kindled her fodder, as she was. nearly consumed. The fire spread rapidly, and before it was grt under, a weaver's shop and a dwelling-house fell a prey to the devouring element. The premises are insured, but a sober industrious individual is very much reduced, as in the smithy he lost a young cow, his bel lows, and all that part of the tools that would consume. In the weaver's shop he lost a loom. In the dwelling house, his furniture, although saved, is much destroyed. Other three looms, and part of the webs are destroyed. The fire in Messrs Pickering and Co.'s colliery at Flint is, we are happy to hear, extinguished, and the process of pumping out the water has commenced. The injury sustained is very great. A young female, named Marie Cerotte, residing in a • village of Soleure, presented herself lately before the Consistory. By ;he laws of this tribunal, instituted for preserving the morals of the people, every unmar ried female, who becomes pregnant, is obliged to make , a declaration of the circumstance before this bench of Magistrates: It appears that Marie had once before been before them on a similar charge. The unforta nate girl was ordered to proceed to the Curate's house. One of the Clergyman's servants immediately fastened a chain round her ancle ; at the extremity was a large piece of wood, weighing eighteen pounds. She was dragged in this state to the market-place, accompanied by the President of the Consistory, and several other members of this worthy Society'. They stopped oppo site the public school ; the children were called out, and a long speech was addressed to them by the parson, on the dreadful offence poor Marie bad been guilty of. She then M,:AI sent to prison, dragging the heavy weight and weeping bitterly ; the school boys follow ing her, and by the schoolmaster's order, hooted and abused the unfortunate creature, till, unable to en dure her painful and humiliating situation, she fell upon the ground. The Prefect was informed of the circumstance, by a letter written from the Consistory, and stating that it was intended to renew this punish• ment every day during the week. The Prefect ex pressed his indignation at the illegal and shameful con duct of the Consistory, ordered the poor girl to be .et at liberty, and forwarded to the Minister a full statement of this arbitrary and cruel act.

POLICI LVT'LLIAENCIE. - r - BOW-STREET. FALSE Cu, Chamberlain Wag brought before S:r R. Bram, charged with endeavouring to procure the place of butler in the house of Mr. Carden, a Solicitor, by means of a fo rge d character. The prisoner had presented himself to the complainant for the purpose of accepting the situation of a butler, whit it he tin.' derstood was then vacant in Ma house. Mr. C. very naturally In. quired what recommendation he had from ary person with whom he bad previously lived? Lie said his name w-et Freem an , h ad lived in the service of General Coffin, and front him had r ece i ve d written credentials, which be had no doubt would be satisfact ory. A written character was accordingly pro.uced 11 the prisoner, i. which very warm praises were bestowed by General Coffin , a , , person named Freeman, and at the same time referring alit:lg i r ,. r , to particular relat of the General. The comp) harm aceorklin7,ly wrote to some of the members of the General's family, a, : d fi.,, n4 them he learned that the would-Ire butler was an ityptetor. Ti " Freeman," of whom the General wrote was then at alontrce in Canada. Therefore, either the character must be 4lto gel h er forgery, or else Freeman must have made over hts cliar..et. r ,„ to prisoner. Under these circumstances, a warrant for the stapes!,,,,, slat of the prisoner was obtained. Sir li. Bram °Ml:ref it,. prisoner to pay the sum of £2O. 10s. the penalty appointed by 0.1 statute. The prisoner said he had no meats of paying to large a ( um. Sir R. Brawn therefore committed him for a mouth to :lie T ,,,, d : 31i11, unless he should sooner pay the required line. ) CARPI,Zi% DAITING.—Charks Kash, the servant of John Som e , was charged with careless driving. by which the co!!at.liiiii e u a boy, named Harold Collier, had beets broken. A milther of tv.r a nessea were called, who proved, that on the preceding t:av th e complainant was walking across Seven Dials, v.iten the dehnJaiit, vditt sy;..s driving a butcher's cart, drave against him. Ile o.s iitt. diarely knocked doun. and his collar-bone broken by the ‘iii.t. The boy was then taken to the shop of a neighbouring sue-. ; ,., , and the usual remedies applied. These, it is hoped, %veil ti ' ; ref restore him to the use of - - his arm. Sir R. Bluste r bettre who.; the defendant was brought, severely reprimanded the iss.n ter latter, for his improper conduct in placing a bny like tke present fendant in a cart, where, by his careless or furious drtvi.it, ty n limbs and lives of the public were thrown into the most inimictn danger. The defendant was accordingly order:tl to pLy 3 tine of ten 'billings, and costs. Sir R.
