~, T LIFE. Life is an ocean, where the tempests sweep, And many a shipwreck marks the treacherous deep. Vbere'er our course, Chance seems the helm to sway; And on we go unconscious of the way. The sails of some with happy gales expand, While the fierce blast drives others on the strand; But all at last in that calm haven rest, Where no more whirlwinds agitate the breast.

This was an application on the part of the plaintiff, to commit the defendant, who is a solicitor, for contempt in the breach of an injunction. It appeared that Mr. Frowd, who is the proprietor of a farm at Mutely, in Staffordshire, commenced an action against the plain tiff, who had been his tenant, for a breach of certain covenants, and for the recovery of the rents alleged to be due. The plaintiff filed his bill in this Court, for the purpose of obtaining an injunction to rertr.rin Mr. Frowd from proceeding with that action; the Court thought there was sufficient equity, and granted that injunction. The Clerk tit the Solicitors on the part of the plaintiff had ti ie', but ini•ffrctually, to serve the copy of the in junction personally up4.n the plaintiff; he proceeded with the action, i.nd ultimately arrested the plaintiff in defiance of the injunction. Mr. SUGDEN and Mr. SPENCE were in support of the application, and Mr. AGAR against it, who contended no proper notice had been given to the defendant. His LoliDsuiP thought the case on the part of Mr. Agar's client had entirely failed, and made the order according to the prayer, and directed it not to be deli vered out till further order, it being probable some ar rangement would be made with respect to the costs: VICE.CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Mar 19. • TRUMAN V. PARKINSON. At the sitting of the Court this morning, his Honour gave judgment in this cause. The bill was filed by the assignees of a bankrupt, for the pm pose of setting aside a deed of conveyance, on the ground that no sufficient consideration had been given fur it, and that it had been executed in contemplation of bankruptcy. On the part of the defendant it was shown that the sum of money . stated in the deed as the consideration had been actually paid. Under these circumstances his Honour was of opinion that the deed was valid, and therefore that the bill ought to be dismissed. • COURT OF KIN6'S BENCH, !day 19. THE KING V. AEI& In this case the defendant was convicted of a nuisance. in having erected a turnpike gate in the neighbourhood of Bethnal Green; and Sir JAMES SCARLETT now ap plied for the prosecutor's costs, the prosecutor being the parry aggrieved by tie nuisance, and therefore, under the Statute of the sth William and Mary, cap. 11. . sec.S, was entitled to his costs. • . The COMMON SERGEANT objected, that as the pro secutor had agreed to take the opinion of a Gentleman at the Bar on the question in dispute, but had after wards refused to hold himself-bound by that opinion, be had therefore disentitled himself to costs.—The Cover granted the application. THE KING V. GILBERT. This was a criminal information against the defend ant, a Gentleman residing at Bodmin, in Cornwall, for a libel on a Mr. Wallis, an attorney, residing in Bothnia, and also on his wife. The libel was published in the shape of a hand-bill, addressed to the Electors of Bod. •min, and stated that Mrs. Wallis was the Marquis of • Hertford's woman of business—that Mr. Wallis had obtained money which ought to have been spent in the town of Budmin. and that a house which he had built in the neighbourhood of that town was built with money .which he had thus possessed himself of. One of the libels concluded with an insinuation that Mrs. Wallis . bad been guilty of incontinence with a person named Glyn, and that a young Lady,.the daughter of Mr. • Wallis, was the issue of this intercourse. The information was to have been tried at the last Assizes for Cornwall, but the defendant pleaded guilty, and was now called up for judgment. On behalf of the defendant an affidavit was put in, .stating that he had written and caused to be published the libels ih question in an unguarded moment; that it was the result of political animosity which existed in the town of Bodmin; that he felt he had done what he was ashamed of doing, and that shortly after the publication of the libel be had published an apology. -. • A number of affidavits were also pat in from Officers ,itttbeArmy,who had served with Capt. Gilbert, and who , bore testimony to his general conduct:and character.- . ERSKINE then shortly addressed the Court in aggravation, and observed, that.. the station and cba-' ratter of Mr. Gilbert gave additional poignancy to the' injury he bad inflicted. Sir.JAMIS SCAnLETT, in mitigation, stated, that the defendant was folly impressed with the impropriety of his conduct, and that if Ms offence was aggravated by the circumstance of his filling the rank of.* gentleman, his sufferings were proportionably great at feeling that be now stood to receive the judgment of the Court tot es act which he felt himself was disgraceful. The Learned Counsel also stated, that the libel was not' written by the defendant, but that he felt himself bound tot to give up the author. Mr. COLERIDGE followed at the same side. Mr. Justice BAILEY pronounced the sentence of the Court. He observed that the apology did not go so far as to avow a disbelief of the imputations made against Mrs. Wallis, and therefore the defendant stood forth to receive the judgment of the Court for a most unwar rantable and unjustifiable libel. The judgment of the "Court was, that the defendant should be imprisoned in th* gaol of Bodmin for four calendar onths and enter into recognizances, himself in 2001. a nd two , sureties of 1001. each, for three years. The defendant thee withdrew in the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea. MIX V. ADAM. The defendant was indicted at the Assizes for Hert• ford, for stopping up a public footpath, and found Guilty. The defendant had erected a building on the florid ; and in order to accommodate him, and prevent the necessity of his polling down the house, it was agreed to refer it to Mr. Thessiger, to point out another con venient line for the road,and that Gentleman pronounced Otis award, pointing out another line accordingly. • , The SOLICITOLGENDRAL applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why judgment should not be de fected till Michaelmas Tent*, to order to give time to the defendant to get the road inspected by the Justices, to ascertain whether the road was really necessary and convenient for the public, and whether it might not be shut up? The fact was, that the rod had been ob structed for nineteen years and a half,, and no complaint had been mode by any body. The prosecutors had some other reasons for the proceeding than the public convenience.—Rule granted. Sir JAMBS SCARLgTT and Mr. ALDERSON showed cause against the rule, and stated, that from the mode in which the defendant had executed the award, the road might perhaps be fairly pronounced of no use to the public. He had built a house close to the edge of the road, and in case of rain, the road at that place was kept constantly wet by the droppings from the eaves.— He had also erected a wall of twelve or fourteen feet 'I high on the one side, and a fence of seventeen feet high on the other. Lord TENTERDEN—What was the width of the road ? Sir J. SCARLETT—OnIy four feet; so that a fat land lady would have some difficulty in pushing along be tween these walls. And then their Lordships would perceive, from a model handed in, that the defend ant had erected five stiles.—ELord Tenterden—l only see threel—Well, three stiles ; for no other conceivable purpose than that of making the road more inconvenient to the public. When having rendered it as inconvenient to the public as pos., sible. he proceeded to canvass the Justices of the county ' in order to get it stopped up, for which he said he would spare nu expense. He had also said that the road was used for improper purposes. It it was, he himself was the cause, for the wall and fence, while they made the road very inconvenient to the public, rendered it the mote fit tut improper purposes. Mr. Jii.tice BAILEY—These high wall% err cted close to the side of a narrow foot path, are certainly A great nuisance to the public. Sir J. SCARLETT—This was a mere illusory execution of the award, and was not di case in which the Court ought to stay proceedings. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in support of the rule— Nothing was iegiiired on the part of the defendant, ex cept that he should not be brought up for judgment until he should t.ave an OpeOltunity of trying the Merits of the case, and having the opini. , n of the Justices whe• ther there was any occasion for the toad at all. Lord TENTERDEN—Tt.e Court at present did not look at the merits as to whether the road was necessary or not. They looked only to the award. It was agreed after he was convicted, that for his conseuieuce another line of road should be marked out by an arbitrator. The arbitrator marks out one accordingly ;,and then the.de fendant proceeds to an illusory, and whitt may beCalled a fraudulent execution of the award, This is a case, therefore, in which the Court iv not called upon to inters fore.—Rule discharged. REX E. COMMISSIONERS OF THE FRENCH COMPENSA. TION FUND. It will be recollected, that in this case, S;lr James Scarlett had obtained a rule to show cause why a Mae. damus should not issue, to compel these Commissioners to distribute the funds among the persons entitled. The rule was granted so far as related to compelling them to hear the parties on their claims. Mr. BROUGHAM applied to the Court to have tbe rule enlarged till next Term ; to which Sir Joss= SCARLETT acceded.—Rule enlarged. ILEX V. ACLAND. Sir J. SCARLETT moved to have the rule made abso lute in this case.—No cause shown.—Rule absolute. • REX U. BROOKES AND OTHERS. . A Rule had been granted to show cause why an attachment should not issue against the defendants for disobedience to a Mandamus. On the motion of Mr. BROUGHAM, the Rule was enlarged till next Term. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 19. Sittings in Banco. • DIARY v. BROAUBELT. • This was an action to recover compensation in damages for the injury which the plaintiff suffered in consequence of the defendant's neglecting' to fulfil his promise to marry the former. The circumstances were the follow. ing : The plaintiff had formerly been acting as Lady's maid in the family of a Gentleman in the county of Essex, and at the time the defendant, who keeps the Two Bells, Whitechapel, paid his addresses to her. Was acting as a bar - maid in the house of her uncle. ;Ito is the keeper of the Bull, at Brook-street, Essex. His atten tions lasted two months, and after repeated promises of marriage, he discontinued them without assigning any reason. phis was the cause of action. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 6001. A motion was made in the following Term, and a Rule obtained, call ng upon the plaintiff to show cause o by the verdict should not be set aside, on the ground of the damages being excessive. In support of this application was produced a number of affidavits, among which was one from a man named Cope, a relation of the woman a horn the defendant had since married. In this he Stated that a prison named Amos had informed him that he had had criminal connection with the plaintiff' fluting two years that she was in the hopse of her uncle. It had, however, appeared at the time of the trial, that the defendant said' he wouldJather have the plaintiff, who had ro fortune, than the woman he had married,, 'who had 1,0001. Mr. Sergeant WILDE now showed cause. He pro duced affidavits, which fully contradicted the state ments of Cope, and also alleged that Amos, to whom illusion was made in the affidavit of the latter, had been using great efforts to induce different persons to make affidavits to the detriment of the plaintiffs character. Under the circumstances disclosed at the time of the trial, and by the piesent affidavits, he hoped their Lord ships would think the vet dict ought n..tto be disturbed. • Mr. Serge.aut ANDREWS was heard in support of the rule. 'The Lord Chief Justice Best —I think, under the, circumstances of this case, it is impossible to disturb this vet diet. The defendant, who was not satisfied with deceiving this unfortunate plaintiff in the manner which be does not pretend to deny, attempts, through the medium of this man Amos, to blast her character for life, and turn her loose on the world, with no other means of support than those which he basely insinuates she employed before. But does Amos date to make any affidavit? No; because he was confident that the statement with respect to this young woman's character was as false as it was wicked and malicious. I wish be had made an affidavit, and then he might be sent from that country of which he is unworthy. I am only sorry that these facts were not known at the time of the trial, and then I have no doubt that more ample justice would have been done to the plaintiff. The rule must be discharged. The other Judges esoconed.—.Rule discharged. A R1171107..-A Rev. sportsman was once boasting of his infallible skill in finding a bare.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOWSE. Twoinen, named Harris and Smith, were charged yesterday with having plundered a Weichman, named Lloyd, of two mulch cows. The prosecutor was standing at the door of his stall, one day, and one of the prisoners, who is a journeyman butcher, in passing by saw the cows, and bargained for them for 581. He gave the Welchman a piece of paper like a banker's cheek, which he said was as good as gold, and desired the Welchman to take it to a house near Lombard-street, where he would receive cash for it, and drove off the two cows. The Welchniati went to the direction near Lombard.street, where he discovered that the paper was a bill at two months. TheWelchman, in his distress, applied to Herdsfield, an officer, who apprehended the prisoners. They were remanded. 0 .ILDHAI.L. Ms Atkinson, a cloth agent, was committed for stealing sixty three yards of kerseymere. from the son of a Trowbridge clothier. The lad bargained for ready money, but after some hesitation re ceived a cheque drawn by the prisoner on Messrs. Glyn and Co. On inquiry it turned out that he had no assets there, nor was he at all known. BOW—STREET. Yesterday John 'lnnis was re-examined on a charge of stealing 1301. from a letter. Mr. PeACOCK, the solicitor to the Post-office, attended on behalf of the prosecution; and Mr. W001.1.E11, clerk to Mr. Ila emelt, for the prisoner.—F. Irons lives with his brother, who carries on the business of a draper in Oxford-street; remem bers taking a 30/. note to change for his brother on the 21st of March ; did procure change ; there was a person waiting in the shop for the change; he had been purchasing some dresses; be wore a cloak; the prisoner was the person; did not see Mr. Hunts receive the clung?. J. Martin corroborated the statement of Irons —Mary Hollingsworth lived in the family of the prisoner's father at Birmingham; remembers the prisoner visiting his father in March last; the prisoner's father is the chief clerk in the Post office there; the prisoner had been a sorter of letters for two years and a halt in the Birmingham Post-office. The depositions which had been taken during the former examinations in private were • read, and all the witnesses bound over to give evidence at the ensuing Warwick Assizes. The prisoner, who offered no defence, was then committed. MA RI.BOROUGH—STREET. "lobed Finch and George Poe were charged yesterday with steal ing a hay gelding, valued at fifty guineas, the propel ty of Nit. Isaac 'l'ortie, of 'Tottenham-court-road. The horse was stolen on the night of the Mt-Instant, or early on the following morning— about which time the prisoners la ere seen on the spot from whence the horse was stolen, one mounted on the animal, and the other in his company.—The prisoners were committed. ATTOIsI-.G ARDEN. Yesterday five APCortys, one Area:e, one Walsh, and one Keefe, all Irishmen, were charged with several assaults. The prisoners were drinking in a public house , Back-hill, Clerkenwell, about ten o'clock on Sunday morning. A drunken Englishman made some allusion to their country and themselves, when they knocked him down, as also an individual who cried shame at them for striking one man. Mrs. Packer, the landlord's sister, was also laid pros trate, and her cap torn for interfering, and Tullet, the landlord,was beaten in a ter:ible manner, in striving to save his sister. The prie cutters were locked up in default of hail. • THAMES—POLICE. Cath•rine Dump's!, was charged with robbing Mahoney, a sailor, of bis watch and 81. She has been several times committed to the Tread-mill, and thrice tried at the Old Bailey. On the present occasion Mahoney was intoxicated in Shadwell, when she dragged him up a gateway, knocked him down, and robbed him as above. She was remanded. WORSHIP—STREET. B. Jacobs. was charged with embezzling eight ounces of silk, the property of Messrs. Wilson and Co. his employers. He had con trived to - increase the weight of the bobbins returned by wetting them.. in order to disguise the deficiency.—Sentenced to fourteen days amusement at the Tread Mill. • PETTICOAT GOVERNMENT.—The authorities of Min Shull Vernon, in the parish of Middlewich, have, for the present year, appointed a female constable, a female overseer, and a female supervisor. THE KINGS THISTLE , —When his MAJESTY was in Edinburgh in 182 g, it will be recollected that on the day of the procesiion from the Abbey to the Castle, a thistle of gigantic height was carried before him by the ancient Saciety of Gardeners. This plant, measuring upwards of eight feet, was originally brought from the Castle of Dumbarton, and presented altogether a noble appearance. Shortly after ti e pageant was over a man from Dumfermline procured a slip from this the Scottish emblem, and upon his return home planted it in his little garden. The following year the plant grew amazingly, and at the anniversary of the King's visit it had reached the height andsize of the parent stock, and attracted the notice and admiration of every beholder. Seeds and slips were liberally distributed ; so that it not , only has found its way to Perth, Dundee, and most towns hi the neighbourhood, but when its history was known several branches were transmitted to Lon don, and universally obtained the name of the King's 'Thistle. GOLD MINE IN MALACCA.—A gold mine of great promise has been lately discovered within three days' journey of Malacca, not far distant from Mount Ophir, in the territory of the East India Company. There are, it is said, three hundred persons employed in digging for the gold, each on his own account. It is stated that one person could procure a catty and a half of gold in a year, which sells at the average price of 500 Spanish dollars per catty. Mount Ophir was formerly cele brated for its gold, but its mines were supposed to be exhausted. A Malay, named Hadjee Amet, who has been at the mine, states, that he, with six more, collected, in two months and'a hall, twenty-four bunkals of gold, procured with little labour, but the whole was taken from them by the inhabitants of a neighbouring village. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—A farmer, near Straagford, in the county of Down, in managing a part of the farm that, according to appearances, had not been broken up for centuries, a few days since, found a horse-shoe which, upon examination, was found to be of .ilver. Its description is nearly as follows:—In weight sit ounces, being a good deal incrusted; in size' and formation it almost exactly corresponds with a shoe of the present day, made for a blood horse. It is con siderably thinner on one bide than the other, the same as many horses are in the habit of wearing them ; and the holes appear, by having been worn wide, to have passed over the nails and thereby been dropped. One of the ancient mounds, so con.mon in that past of Ire land, stands near to the spot where this curious piece of antiquity was found. NORTH EAST WIND.—The only periodical wind which we have in this island, is that from the north east, which prevails generally from about the middle of April to the 7th or Bth of May, and sometimes longer it may be thus accounted for. In Sweden and Norway the face of the country is covered with snow to the middle of May or longer. This frozen covering, which has been formed during winter, grows gradually shallower to the 15th or 16th of May, or until the sun has acquired 17 or 18 deg. of north declination ; w hile, on the other hand, the valleys and mountains of Eng land have received an excession of temperature of 24 or 25 deg. On this account, when the temperature of Sweden and Norway is cooled down by snow of 32 deg. that of Britain is 24 er 25 deg. higher than that of the preceding countries; because, while the ground is covered with snow, the rays of the sun ate incapable of heating the air above 52 deg. For this reason, the air of England is 24 or 25 deg. more heated that that of the before mentioned countries. The air of 'Sweden and Norway will then, of course, by the laws of cons parative -specific gravities, displace that of England ; and from the relative situation of those countries with this country, will produce .a north-east wind. This current is commonly stronger by day than by night, because the variation of temperature in the air of Great Britain is at that time the greatest, beiqg frequently from 50 to 60 deg. about noon, and sinking to 5'2 deg. in the night.

Mr. Scarborough, organist. of Spalding, has betted a wager that he will strike on the piano forte one million of notes In 24 hours. This singular wager is to be decided be lore the 29th instant. PEDESTRIANISM. A few days ago, a tradesman in Denbigh undertook for a trifling wager to go on foot from Kiomel Park Gate, between St. Math and Abergele, tb the top of Henllan•street in Denbigh, a distance of between seven and eight miles, and on a bad Toad, in 59 minutes. He started a five o'clock on Saturday morning, and performed the task with great ease in the short space of 49 minutes, ur 17 minces within the given time. It is rather remarkable that two Gentle men, who it was agreed upon should keep time, started with the pedestrian on horseback, and with great difficulty came in with him, the horses being much fatigued and quite wet with per spiration. WRESTLING. Yesterday a most interesting Wrestling Match took place in the new ground of the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road. The match was for 3820 a-side, between James Copp, a Devonshire nun, well known to the wrestling ring, and Laurence Hanlon, an Emeralder. About four o'clock In the afternoon the ring was well attended, when some excellent bouts at single stick took place, and after wards some minor wrestling matches; at length the call tor the appearance of the principals became general, and Copp first entered the ring in the wrestling costume ; be was soon afterwards followed by Hanlon, after which the contest commenced—S to 4on the Irishman being repeatedly offered, but no takers. Hanlon was ulte stronger man, but his opponent, it was evident, was not tar behind him in strength, and far superior in science, as was evinced by Lis throwing him the first foil, which was all but a fall. The second was also a foil rather in favour of Hanlon, but the bets of his parti sans were not now so freely offered as at starting. Shortly Art wards Copp succeeded in giving him a fair back fall, and received much applause. This destroyed all betting for the renr.inder of the match, as the Emeraiders now considered the wisest plan was to hold fast what they were masters of. The burst of applau'e in favour of Copp 's first achievement bad scarcely subsided iieture the Irishman again measured his length upon the lap of his mother earth, in a most favourable position for an undertaker to make a coffin for him by anticipation, and thus destroyed all the hopes of his countrymen, who retired highly chagrined at the result of the match, many of them considerably minus in pocket. Some minor matches at wrestling followed. BIRTH. The 16th instant, in York-place, Mrs. Clayton Freeiing, son. MARRIED. At Saleombe Regis, the Rev.
