- '~ ... HARk! THE BATTLE SHOUT IS RAISED! TIMBLAN AIR. Hark ! the battle-shout is raised, and I must speed away. For all the clouds that dim our hopes must fall in showers to-day, Or lower above cur heads laid low in yonder flowery plain, Before the day shall bend It's brow towards the West again ! Bethink thee, Girl, our love arose beneath no peaceful bower, I Wooed thee in the pause of war; the short recoil of power. Which now returns with giant force to bear our freedom down, And we must fight—or love and live bona% a tyrant's frown! But cheer thee, Maid; this sword has been in many. a fierce foray, Without the mighty power of Love that keens it's edge toAay ; N'r are the foes who wait us now more brave than they who fell Wiwi) first thou saw'st me c!:mb thesewalls,and rescue thee—farewell. !Oriental Herald for May.) WON. LAW IiEYUIt I: ----~~ COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 3. This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Judges did not enter the Court till nearly one o'clock. HINDLEY V. THE MARQUIS OF WESTMEATH. Mr. SCAULETT said this was an action against the noble defendant for the board and maintenance of his Lady, from whom he lived apart, under a deed of se- Oration. On the trial, a question wis raised on the Pitt of the Noble -Marquis, as to whether, by the terms rSf the deed, Ile was not exempted from . the charge of maintaining the :Marchioness ? A verdict was given for the plaintiff, subject to the defendant's Counsel having leave to move that the same should be set aside, and a nunsitit enered. He (Mr. Scarlett) now moved for a rule, calling on the plaintiff to shew cause why a non suit should not be entered.—Rule Nisi granted. THE KING V. THE BRIDGEWATER AND SOMERSETSHIRE HERALD. Mr. HOLT moved for a rule calling on the Proprietor and Publisher of The Bridgeeeater and Gontersetshire Herald, to shew cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against them for a libel on the Rev. 11. Trevor. The Clergyman who thus applied for the protection of the Court, was the Curate of Burn ham, and had been so fur many years. On the 6th of May, returning home on a dark night, he happened to fall, and was obliged to repair to a neighbouring house for refreshment and assistance. This circumstance gave occasion to the libel, which, under the form of a letter to the Editor, imputed the accident to drunkenness, and the visit to the house to gallantry. The Learned Counsel read the letter which cast the imputations on Mr. Trevor in a very ludicrous forM, and excited much laughter. •• The Coast tranta A rule to *hew cause. TIRE KING V. MOON. A rule Nisi having been obtained against the defend ant, calling on him to shew cause why a criminal infor mation should not be filed against him for having writ ten a letter to Mr. Wilkes, an attorney, purporting to convey a challenge to that Gentleman to fight a duel, and thereby induce him to commit a breach of the peace, the Attorney-General, last Term, shewed cause against the rule, by producing an affidavit of a person who was the friend of the defendant, in which it was stated that Mr. Moon was in Paris at the time the letter, pur porting to have heeir written by him, was sent, and that the deponent believed the said letter' was a forgery. Mr. CHITTY objected to this answer, and said an affi davit ought to have been obtained from the defendant himself. The Court therefore allowed the rule to be enlarged to the first day_of this Term, to give the de fendant an opportunity to make an affidavit. Mr. HUMPHRIES now shewed cause against the rule. In addition to the former affidavit he had now the affi davit 9f the defendant himself, in which he deniedhav ing written any letter to Mr. Wilkes, challenging him to fight a duel, and stating that the letter purporting to be written by him was a forgery. The Learned Counsel submitted that this was a complete answer to the appli cation, and hoped the Court would therefore discharge the rule.—Rule discharged. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 3. James Merrick, late landlord of the Red Lion, Five fields, Chelsea, was brought up on his pet itio n for dis charge, which was opposed by POL K LOC, on behalf of a ,d/r. , Wassell, and ether credit'rs. In the course of his examination by Mr. Pollock, he was interrogated *s.te the Sale of an annuity horn a public office atWind sor, ',bleb he had held. The insolvent admitted that he had possessed an an nuity of SOL granted by the Crown ; that he first mort gagedit, giving a power of attorney to the mortgagee reqciye.payment from the Crown; and that he after wards parted with it altogether. Ile could not name the party who made the putchase (which was effected by the intervention of a Solicitor named Mann), nor 'cljdhe know exactly how much he got for it ; some. what about 4001. in all. Upon being questioned by the Commissioners, the ..jnxotv.ent stated that the annuity was granted to him for services to his late Maje*,y, unqer an Act of Parliament. • Tile COURT thought the sale of ihis annuity was legal; but ordered th ,t the case should stand over till Mon day, in order that Mr. Mann might attend and explain ti.e circumstances of the sale. Mr. LAMB, the Ambassador to Spain, passed through . Bordeaux on the ‘26th ult. on his way to Madrid.

THE ABUSE OF THE BODY, AFTER DEATH, OF FRANCES LAWRENCE. Tuesday, on entering the . B.iard Room, we found Mr. Palmer in the Chair, and a full' Board of Gover nors and Surgeons. The Reporter W 45 now called upon to answer this question—lf he had not erroneously stated Enright's evidence, taken on the preceding Boar J-day, the Board being of opinion that he, the said Enright, had stated that it was a G9vernor, an.l not a Surgeon, that had asked him for some te. th ? Answer— Enright, when called upon by Lord Robert Seymour to say whether or not it was in the room wherein the surgeons had assembled, that he had been asked for some teeth? replied that one of them came out upon the landing, and asked him, said Enright, to get him some teeth. It was then contended by the Board, that al though the individual in question came out from amongst the surgeons of the e-tablishment, he•was not one of them, even admitiing that he might be a sur geon, but must have obtruded himself there f. r the pur pose already stated. This produced mu.h desultory conversation, and the Reporter was called upon to put the Board in possession of any information in his po A er, which elicited the following detail :—That when En tight, their surgery man, was taken befire Mr. Grif- Ws, the sitting Magistrate, at St. Mary-la-bonne Po lice-office, and had admitted the chaige in question, a letter having been handed to the Magistrate, a Gen.le man who had followed from the Hospital addressed the Magistrate, saying, that as the prisoner before him had been discharged from his situation, he thought him tolerably punished already; but the Magistrate insisted upon taking bail for his appearance at the Quarter Ses sions, himself in VI. and two sureties of 101. each, in de'ault of which, the prisoner was locked up. By this time several surgeons bad collected together round the office dour, some of whom amused themselves by treat ling the subject matter of complaint with unbecoming levity ;amongst the rest was IVlr.Bridgman, of 25, Ben tinck-street, whose first floor is occupied by a dentist. Mr. Bridgman said that it was but three months im prisonment for stealing a dead body altogether, and that he was surprised at the•noise and fuss about such a charge as this : it was requested by the Board, to point out the Governor if presents , who was seen arm-in-arm 'with Mr. Bridgman, while the latter Geotleman was making the observations just stated ; a Mr. Bergeman was pointed out accordingly, who, on,,being questioned by the President, reluctantly admitted that he was with Mr. Bridgman at the time, and that something had passed about a dead body; this adMission produced a smile from several of the Board, and Mr. Bergeman was permitted to resume his seat. The names of En right's bail were asked for, but could not be given; it was observed to the Board, that the complaining party at the Police-office had asked for notice of bail, but were refused. The further conversation on the subject was now adjourned to the following day, when a Com mittee would Continue the investigation. On entering the Board-room on Wednesday, we found Wm. Williams, Esq. M.P. Secretary and Trea surer, in the Chair, supported on the right by Lord Robert Seymour; the Committee were in number about twenty Governors and Surgeons; the details of the oc currences at the Police-office were again requested, and given, for the information of Lord Robert Seymour, his Lordship not having , been present the precediog day. The names of Entiglit's bail being called for, were stated to be Charles Fore:, ptibl•cau, No. 48, Newman -street, Oxford-street, and John Valentine Bridgman, surgeon, 25, Bentinck-atreet, in 10!. each. A Resolution was then read from the Chair, of which the following is a transcript, and the Committee ad journed the further consideration of the subject to next Board-day; professing their determination to discover, if possible, the name of the individual who had tempted one of their servants to commit the abuse complained of. Copy of a Resolution of a.Committee,held at Middlesex Hospital, on Wednesday, the let day of Jane, 11125. Wtn. Williams,Esq. M.P. Secretary and Treasurer in the Chair; present Lord Robert Seymour, and about twenty Governors. Several statements baying appeared in the public papers, rela tive to the outrage which was committed on the body of Frances Lawrence, who died in the Hospital en the 7th of May, by which statements the Surgeons of theHospltal are indiscriminately alluded to as patties thereto ; the Governors, having minutely investigated all the circumstances, feel it incumbent on shun publicly to state , that the only two persons belonging to their Establishment, who appeared to be any way implicated in the transaction, were the . House Surgeon and Enright, the man who cleaned and attended in the surgery ; the House Surgeon, having left the key of the room in which the body was deposited, with Ts might the servant, and suffering him to be there by himself, contrary to the laws of the Hospital, the House Surgeon was repriManded." The Anniversary Meeting of the National Benevolent Institution was held yesterday, at Freemasons Hall, the Most Noble the Marquis of LANSDOWN in the Chair. The room was filled with respectable Ladies and Gen tlemen. The Noble Chairman opened the business of the meeting by stating the object of the Sgciety, which was one, he said, of pure benevolence. For many years it had extended its aid to persons of the middle class of life, who had seen better days, and had become peculiar objects of sympathy. 0.. e of its advantages was to bring to light the character and the misfortunes of that class of persons, and to administer consolation to those who possessed a just claim on their charity. It was limited by neither sect nor country, whilst every means were taken to guard against improper persons becoming the objects of it. He was happy to state that similar institutions bad been formed at Bath, Bristol, and Gloucester. After passing a high compli. ment on Mr. }IMAM, the founder of the Society, he concluded by informing the meeting, that they were convened•that day to enable it to extend its blessings. The Committee's Report was then read, and a series of resaufions were adopted. The cause of the charity was zealously advocated by Lord Currants, Mr. HERVE, Mr. BRANDON, a'hd several other Gentlemen ; after which a collection cook place at the doors. The Marquis of LANSDOWN, in addition to presiding on the loecasion,,presented the Society with a donation of 201. 'Thursday morning, a respectable old couple, living in retirement in Church•street, Mile-end, were found (dead in their. bed. It could not be discovered that they bad taken anything poisonous ; and as there were no means of ascertaining the cause of their death, the Coroner's Jury brought in their verdict—Died by the visitation of God. ,The pot Herald says, .that within a short period there has been exported to the Coin neat float the port' 6f Dotter, gold and silver exceeding 700,000 L Upwards of 600,0001. of this wore in gold of British coinan o e!

POLICE iNULLMENCE. • BOW-STREET. Samuel Siam, a journeyman plater, was charged by his master, Mr. Smith, of May's-buildings, with neglecting his work. It ap , peared that the defendant had been employed by Mr. Smith up wards et six months, and received from him very liberal wages. A few days since heborrowed £4 of Mr. Smith to pay his rent, sad immediately after left the work. • Mr. Ilm.o said, that the workmen generally supposed the , 1 Magistrate had no authority to punish them for neglecting their work ; they could, however, send such persons as the prisoner to the House of Correction for three months, there to be kept to bird labour. The prisoner had behaved in a very ungrateful manner, and he therefore ordered him to be imprisoned six weeks. MARLBOROCGII-STRtET. Yesterday the driver of a baclaney chaiot was fined 10s. and costs for refusing to take a fare. A waggoner was charged with wilfully damaging the carriage of the lion. Mr. Herbert. of Lower Grosvenor-street, by driving through the crowd of carriages opposite Devonshire House, on Saturday morning last. The ilefence was, that the coachman re. fused to let him' pass, though there was plenty of room. 'l'he Magistrate said, that such condutt on the part of coachmen was punishable, and that if duly complained of, they should be severely dealt by; but as in the present instance the defendant had taken doe law into his own hands, he must fine him 10s. and the costs. SPORTING' INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES. FRIDAY, JUNE 3.—roURTH DAY. The Course this day was by no means so well attended as yes. terday. The company was principally confined to the residents in tbe neighbourhood. His Royal Highness the Duke of York was early on the Heath, and, by way of amusement during the morn ing, paid a visit to the fin, deur, dug, and roulette tables. He was accompanied by Sayers and another officer, and as he passed was loudly cheered. His Royal Highness having then viewed the beasts of prey of one description, subsequently turned his attention to the wild beasts of another description, and on viewing the strong cages in which the latter were secured, it became a matter of doubt I which were more properly confined within the bars. His Majesty and suite arrived at the Royal Stand soon after one, I and came up the Course, as on the prlceding days. He was again loudly cheered, and was in excellent health and spirits. A cowl derable number of the distingid,hed persons whom we noticed yes terday, were in attendance. The Duke of Devonshire was on the Royal Stand, in conversation with his Majesty for some time. There were but three races during the day, the whole of which his Majesty remained to witness. They were as follow : The Wokingham Stakes of 5 soy. each (handicap), for three year olds and upwards. Last three-quarters of the New Mile. Lord Jersey's Spermaceti, 5 yrs, Bst. 81h. 1 Duke of York's b. c. Frogmote, 5 yrs, 7st. 21b. 2 Thirteen started ; two only were placed. It was a pretty race, and all the horses started abreast. Spermaceti won cleverly by two lengths. Robinson rode the winner. Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sows. each, h. ft. with 50, soya. added from the Race Fend, for horses of all ages. Once sound and a distance. Mr. Messer's Presentiment, 4 yrs, 7st. olb. . . 1 Lord Warwick's Haji Balsa, 4 yrs, Sit. . 2 Duke of Richmond's Spree, 4 yrs, 7st. 21b. 3 . Lord G. H. Cavendish 's Bl ack Cat, 3 yrs, 6st. 716. . 4 Duke of Rutland's Cephalus, 5 yrs, Bst. HP. . 5 Five only started. The odds were, sto 4 agst Haji Baba; 2to 1 agst Cephalus ; 4 to I apt Black Cat; 5 to I apt Presentiment; 6to 1 apt Spree. Haji Baba took the lead, and kept it till he got to the distance peat. Presentiment then got close to his quarters, and a beautiful race followed; each rider exerted himself to the utmost; but on coming nearer home, Presentiment started vigor ously forward, and won by half a length. The five were placed. A Plate of 50 soy. for all ages; three yrs old, Tet. 41b. four, Sst. 91b. five, ost. Sib. six and aged, Dst. 71b. Mares allowed 31b.— The winner. of one Plate or Sweepstakes this year (handicaps ex cepted) to carry 31b. extra. The best of three one tulle heats. Old Mile. The winner to be sold fur 250 gs. &c.

The whole eight started; but on the signal being given Brownie set off without respect to parties, and got so far ahead that the others scarce attempted to contest with him. He in fact ran away, and won by three or four lengths. A considerable time elapsed before he could be .puiled up. In the se cond heat it was 3 to 2 ego Brownie ' and 3 to 1 apt brother to ' Antonio. Brownie, however, took the lead, and ran away so fast as to leave all her competitors about twenty yards behind. It was 30 to lon her as she passed the distance post. None of the others had the slightest chance.—The Duke of Richmond immediately claimed the winner, according to.the term, of the entry.

At the conclusion of the Races, ana after the departeril of the Aristocracy, the seamen of the ring were resolved to have their turn, and accordingly arrangements were made for forming an arena; in which Lock and Savage, both members of the Whip CM, and eaisrirkt drivers to bootiswere to decide not only wblch was the best man, but which was entitled to the stakes for which each had been matched, namely, £25 a-side. The peelintinaries having been duly arranged, the me i n vein brought to the ground. Loa is long and thin, but possessed of some science and bottom ; as a fighter, however, his qualities an not of the highest order ; he B wild, and wants steadiness. Savage is a middle-sized, well.set fellow, a hard bitter, active, and ready at his fetidness. The former was seconded by Gypsey Cooper West Country Dick; the latter by Ben Burns and Gaynor. fibt to tour on Savage. . The men only fought seven rounds, in the last of which Savage made a feint at Lock's head with his right, and at the same instant caught him heavily with the left on the body ; Lock attempted to return, but threw his - blow away : Savage nobbed his man twice, and then boring in, threw him in his favourite position on the ropes. After he fell, Savage struck him a heavy blow on the mouth. An instant crf of " Foul, foul !". burst from all quarters, and the Um pires having been referred to, they confirmed the judgment that the blow was foul. Lock in consequence declined fighting any more, although loudly called upon by Savage, and the decision of the battle was, of course; in his favour. He will, in all probability,, decline all further trials with Savage, and in future Master Savage will feel the advantage .of commandi ng his temper. PIGEON SHOOTING.
