1 I I THE RETROSPECT. Relies of love, and life's enchanted spring, Of h o p e s b orn, rainbow like, of smiles and tears; With trembling hand do I unlose the string, Twined round the records of my youthful years! Yet why preserve memorials of a dream, Too bitter-sweet to breathe of aught but pain? Why court fund memory foe a fitful gleam Of faded bliss, teat canna bloom spin ! The thoughts and feelings these sad relics bring Back on my heart, I would not now recal: Since gentler ties around its pulses cling. Shall spells len hallowed hold them still In thrall? Can wither'd hopes that never came to flower, Match with affections long and dearly tried ; Love, that has lived through many a stormy bur, Through good and ill, and time and change defied? Perish each record that might wake a thought That would be treason to a faith like this! Why should the spectres of past joys be brought To fling their shadows o'er nay Fluent bliss? Yet—ere we part for ever-Aet me pay A last fund tribute to the sainted dead ; Mourn o'er these wrecks of passion's earlier day, With tears u wild as once I used to shed! What gentle words are flashing on my eye! What tender trutbs in every line I true! Confesalons—penn'd with many a deep-drawn sigh, Hopes—like the dove—with bat One restineglueul How many a feeling, long—toolong—seprest, Like autumn-flowers, here opened out at last ! How many a vision-of the lonely breist Its cherish'd radiance on these leaves bath cast ! And ye, pale violets ' whose sweet breath hash driven Back on my soul the dreams I fain would quell; To whose faint perfume such wild power is given, To call up visions—only loved too well; — Ye too must perish !—Wherefore now divide Tributes of love—first offerings of the heart ; • eifts—thar so long have slumbered side by side; • Tokens of feeling--never maim to pan? Along farewell :—.weet dowers, sad scrolls, adieu! Yes, ye shall be companions to the last ; So perish all that would•revive anew The fa ukless memories of the faded put ! Bat lo! the flames are curling swiftly round Each fairer vestige of my youthful years; Page after page that searching blue bath found, Even whilst I strive to trace them through my tears! The Hindoo widow, in affection strong, Dies by her lord, and keeps ber faith unbroken Thus perish all which to these streets belong, The living memory—with the lifeless token ! LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 15. 000DACRI V. WILKINSON. Mr. PEPYS touted this to be an appeal from a decision of the Vice• Chancellor. A bill had been filed against the defendant, f. .r the specific performance, on his part. :s•f a contract he had made for the purchase of the a'. ivinwson of Presteign, at the pi ice of 7.0001. It had been one of the conditions of the contract that the purchaser -should require no other title than that which had been derived from Lord Oxford and his. trustees. The de fendant, in his answer,"alleged that the title was imper fect, and that the -contract being in violation of the smute against champtity and maintenance. was illegal. . The Vice Chancellor, adopting this view, dismissed the bill with costs. and against that decision _the present appeal was brought. The Counsel contended that the conditions of the contract bound the purchaser; that the title was known,not to be clear,and having been already irlietd.by a person.oho had been in sreaty for it, the vender guarded against the -recurrence of such objec-, tine by engloging.only to give such a title as be could dei ice from Lord Ottfard. Mt. Kottooe was heard on the same side. Mr. Swum supported the original decree. He said that the chow-son tee question was sold by Lord Oxford to Mr. Burt, betweeen whom there had been a sort of `interchange of property, of which this formed oneof the ..items. The reason for which the pprch,sser disputed .the contract•was, that there was no title at all, and that all that had passed between Lord Orford.and Mr. Burt bad been for the purpq.e of concealing the defect. If the purchaser had paid the price which he had agreed to give, he would have lost his money, and hue had nothing in the place of it. The objections on which he relied had been fairly raised, and could not be met on the other aide; one of them was, that the trustee of Lord Oxford, by eoucut ring in the sale, bad been guilty of a breach of trust, and that a Court of Equity would not on that ground, if it were the only one, as it was • hot, decree the performance of the contract. Bat the • main objection was, that the statue was against it. The title was known to•be def c•ive, and it bad been trans . ferred to a third party only that the litigation to which that defect might give rise should be more successfully eunduc• rd. The LORD CHANCRLLOR asked if the venders had given the purchaser the same tide they received from Lord Oxford? Mr. SUODIN did not know ; but he knew they had failed to show bow the post< came iano 1.00 Oxford': hands. The deed: they bad produced recited others which the, could or would-not produce. t, TiN tc KY .follow ed. and Mr. PRPTS having replie.', • The LORD CIIAROCLLOR said he would look into the papers, and give hi, judgment obottly. COURT OP KING'S BENCH, Wssensenes, Nov. 15. MCCURRY V. JONRS, LLOYD, AIM CO. The plaintiff, a awteebast in 'Bootee, in America, ton-• signed a eargo.of flour to London, *nil -the master of the ship skew bills of exchange for the produce, which we•e accepted by the cousimnoes or persons who pur chased the .floor, awl indorsed by •the amasser to the plaintiff, and by him so a 01r.

The plaintiff tor.aglit his action against the defertolants on one. of the bills fur 1,4661. anal lard a aerdict,,subjeat to a Ix" for, e opinion of the Court, with - liberty -to turn it •into a speci,l verdict. The case was argued this .Aay tty M;. PoLtocic for tl:e plaintiff, and Mr. Naas for the dtfendants; and • 'Mr. PARKS contended that the •ourds "to my use," u‘earit nothing more than put the proceeds to my . ag• C 01164., LOA TILSTAMDiII was of opinion that in tbis case the , plaintiff-ought to recover. Moe were already autho rities in the books for special or restricted indorsements; and by this inslorsemea warping wassiven op the back of the bill it.elf that the proceeds ought to be paid to she use of the plaintiff. and to iltis oseuitly ; arid *then the defendants, knowing this, discounted thebEls, and p the money to the use of Williams, they %vete ear. ties to the aPaspplie.ation, and Ausaverashle tp the plain tiff. it was of greet use in cnntruersiakransactions that there shoed be' limited indotoments of this kind, for they would peseta a lading man from raising money for his own purpches on such bills, to the pre-' judice of the first indorser. If Williams had really applied the proceeds to the use of the plaintiff, the as signee of the.bill would be d;schalsed; betas he did n,t, the assignee is still liable. Mr. Justice BATLSY concur its'. If the plaintiff ha l' sent a private letter to Williams to apply the proceeds of the bill to his use, and Williams had endorsed -the ! bill to another wishoot any notice of the private order,: and nothing appeared on the face of the bill itself butt the general indorsement in the ordinary course of hego ciation, then the plaintiff could only look to Williams ;. and if Williams had only waited until the bill became. due, and had received the money from the acceptor,. ' probably, in that case, the plaintiff could only have' looked m Williams; but -here the defendants had die coonted the bill, and applied the looney to the use of Williams, with distinct notice from the bill itself that this was a misapplication. ASSIONESS clr FOZTON o. SHAMA. Roston, the bankrupt, was part owner of a ship tr hich was fitted out for the whale trade, and returned with a cargo of. blubber. The blubber was deposited in a warehouse kept by the defendant for all the partn , rs,, and there it was boiled, and the oil divided according in the several shares. and 29 tuns were set apart for Futon. The usual way of dealing was, that each party was at liberty to take his share from the warehouse when.he thought proper, except notice was given to the warehouseman. that that party had ,nit paid hip share of the expenses of the outfit of the ship. Forton had not paid his share of these expenses, but he got 20 tuns of the oil from the warehouse and ti en became bankrupt. The assignees applied to the warehouseman ,for the other nine tuns of Foxton's oil, but the defendant refused, having get the proper notice not to deliver it. up, as the other partners had a lien.upon it for Fusion's, share of the outfit expenses. At the trial the plaintiffs had a verdict, subject to a case for the opinion of the Court. The case was this day argued by Mr. ALDIRSON for the plaintiffs, and Mr. PARKe for the defendant. The Court? held, that neither the bankrupt nor his assignees had a right to receive his aliquot slate of the, oil, until he paid his aliquot share of the expeate, ; and as to the other putt, the owners basing petn3itted Fax., ion to receive 20 tans, they had no occa.mn to jute r toy e with that, the other nine tuns being sufficient for th.ir purpose.—Verdict set aside, and A nonsuit entered. ' LISILRIX V. THWAITfI. The Bottom&Garment—was called upon to sup ,port his rule fur a criminal information arainst the de fendant, fora libel on Rocafueste, tie Mexican Minister. A great many of the topics urged by Sir James.Sear lett had nothing to do with the case. The question was, uthether the . defendant had not published a personal' libel on the character of llocafuerte, so as to entitle him: to have a criminal am mation filed? It this publication' had been an argument for the pus pose of recommending . prudence and caution with resvect to-the dealings in the South American Securities, the defendant would have been blamed by nobody--certhinly not by him. Sir J. Scatlett talked of these loans having been made to the ,South Americans in order to foster the rung spirit of liberty in those Statesi but he thought that such topics would have been better-addressed to another set of au. ditors. Here was a Ms. Lewis, stated in his.alffi davit that he was employed in collecting all possible infurnsa tion, whether from reports or otherwise, about the South Arnerican*Loans, for the purovse -of publication ; and there were Mr. Layton, Mr. liaison, and two others, stockholders, and Mr. Andrani, an insurance broker, all of them, very likely ; respectable men ; bu., without at all meaning to question their respectability, he might say that the profits to be derived from speculAtion in these securities were probably their Main consideration, without caring much whether those profits were derived from fostering the spirit of liberty, or from a contrary source. The Sotactrut-GxNartAL was interrupted here by Lord Territanas, who apologised for being obliged to adjourn the Court, 'in consevence of his attendance being required in the Exchequer Chamber.—The Colin accordingly rose at ten minutes past twAse o'clock. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Nov. 15. TUZ WARWICK MAIL ROSIERY—TIIE KING', WM.

Bailey Se s sions. in Sept. last, for teceiving four 51. promissory notes of the Wm - wick bank, well knowing them to. be stolen. The pri soner was •sentenced to 14 years' transportation; but Mr. Justice tiaselee, before whom the case was tried, reserved a point started by the prisoner's Counsel for the consideration of the twelve Judges. Mr JusticeGaseuts having read the report of the trial, The lion. Mr. LAW moved an arrest of judgment. The Learned Counsel observed, that at the trial he felt it a duty which he owed, not only to his client, but to the cause of just ce, to make some objections to the form of the indictment, and the reception of certain evidence which was produced for the prosecution. The first point to which he should call their Lordships atten tion was the description of the notes bond upon the prisoner. They were set out in the indictment as I , valuable securities," but he would contend that, un der the circumstances, they could not be said to bear that denomination; they were, in fact, nothing more. , ,than so many pieces of paper. Mr. Baron Hou.ocs—The question is, whether it may not b' shown by the evidence, in cases of prose.' cution, whether or not these notes may become a valu able security ? Mr. LAW referred to several reported cases in support of his argument. Mr. BRODRICK rose to reply. Lord Tzurstines—We will not trouble you to-day ,4t all events. Ti.eir Lordships rose at three o'clock. COUUT OF COK-DRLEGATES, thy. IS. INGSAM U. WTAT r.

INSOLVENT PHISTOWS COURT, War. ts. santatel Clsarlts Fkantan, late an Excise collector at' Bristol, was opposed on behalf of a Gentleman IMMO: "Rowland, for a debt of 7001• principally stated as money lent.

This took place in May last, and when Mills was sought after, it was found that he had left England, and was then on his way to America, taking -with him his in ' formation, insolvent's cash, amounting, per CollieCtOte, to at least 1 0001. The Count.. under all the circumstances, decided that the insolvent was entitled to his discharge. PQ4ICE INTEL LICENCE. MANSION NODAL • Saturday a heeling, coachman, named Irskokive, was charged befote Alderman Facsamorwat, restes imam for the Loan idavon, with very unusual conduct even for a hackney cookout- • A Gentleman, named Dobbs, stated that he laved a •Itachney coach to take him and his baggage from the Blue Bair. in White. chapel, to the west end of the town. The coachman, however, pur sued a very odd course ; instead of driving at the ordinary rate, he willed his horses along the street. and whenever .be sew a large mud cart or a brewer's dray be was sure to follow it ; if an ac quaintance happened to be . passing along, the defendant would stop the coach and enter into a lung conversation with his and whenever the witness put nut his head to expostulate with so exsearardinary a driver, be was sure tit have his eyes and limbs cursed. As soon as the coach roadbed a public hon.. in Aldgate, the coachman made a full stop, and must have plied himself 0 pretty well" with liquor, for when he got upon his box he did not utter a word. The witness once more called out to him to drive on.bvt the coat:WM not 111090 one way or the other, sad when the witness looked.** he loutpl that his driver was fast asleep. Ache was not likely ever to reach his destination at this rate of going, the Wit Ilett determined to get into molter coach, and having awakened the driver with sumo dilliculty, ;rid he would leave him. The driver, whose pride was hurt at this interruption to his repose, abided slot witness in the very grossest mower, and demanded three shillings for the drive. The Wit-t noes pulled nut a handful of silver, and desired the fellow to. take what. be pleased, but although drunk, the latter would handle no more than a shilling. It was therefore for the abuse, and not for overcharge, the complaint was made. Tbidriver said-he was not aware that be was particularly en. civil, and as far going quick, be would not act so cruel .to his borses.wbkh werekoth tiredos to drive them too fast for any body. Alderman . Fausettaternea said he had never beard of such con duct. The complainant said that the defendant bad cursed him is the most horrible manner, and threatened to throw him out at the coach window for waking him out of a pleasant dream. The defendant said he did not think be was asleep at all. He was fined 10e. and walked away cursing every body. BO W.STREKT.
