It has been several times asserted that this celebrated man, with a genius so nearly akin to the genius of sprit!, never actually at tempted poetical composition. The cautriry it seems is the fact. Among other pieces, he vero , e, when very young, several scenes of a Play, a Poem on Rai:lmre (the viilage where he was at school, some beautiful Lines on the River Illackwat , r, running through the counties of Cork and Waterford ; Lines to his friend Mr. Rmusao SHACILItTnN, 01 his :Marriage; a Translation of an Id yllium of Theocrittis ; and of the concluding portion of the second GeorAic of Virgil, with several others.

Rut w;ien true love binds in its roseate bands, That rare bu; hippy union, hearts and hands— When nought but friendship guides the poet's song, Ilaw sweet the verse, the happy love how strong ! Oh ! if the :Muse, indulging my design, Should favour me as Love has favour'd thine, I'd challenge Pan at peril of my life, Though his Arcadia were to judge the strife ! Why not the vocal groves ring forth their jay, And lalfring echoes all their mouths employ ? To tell his bride what sighs, what plaints they heard, While yet his growing flame's success he fear'd, And all his pains o'srpaid with transport now, When l.ove exults, and he enjoys his vow? Silent ye stand—nor will bestow one lay Of all he taught to grace this happy day; Can joy ne'er harbour in your sullen shade, Or are ye but for lovers' sorrows made? I'll leave you, then, and from the bride's bright eye A happier omen take, which cannot lie, Of growing time still growing in delight, Of round; of future years all mark'd with white; Through whose bright circles, flee from envious chance, Concord and Love shall lead an endless dance.

EDMUND BURKE-174ns INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Yesterday G. Solonions, late of Berkeley -street, and Smith-street, Clerkenwell, fancy-paper-maker, came up to be heard on his Petition to be discharged. Th e i n . solvent's application was resisted on loehia of the ma jority of his creditors. It was alleged against the insolvent that he had (after contracting debts to a considerable amount) given his father-in-law, a Mr. Levy, a warrant of attorney, r here upon he entered up judgment, and took poises-ion of all the property, thus depriving the other creditors of a dividend. _ _ _ The insolvent said, his detaining creditor was a Mr. Davis, a person he did not know ; he arrested him on a bill bearing his (insolvent's) name, taken from ano ther person. M. Phillips, of Surrey-street, Strand, remembered an examination at Hatton-Garden, relative to his appren tices; at that period his property had been eize,l by vir tue of the warrant. t Mr. Levy, the father-in-law, was Here ordered to re tire until called for). Examination continued.—The warrant of alorney was given three months before judgment was entered, in consideration of Levy having accepted a series of bills, ten in number, at from three to thirty months after date; Levy insisted on the warrant, and it was give n ; when insolvent went to prison his name was over the shop door ; the last time he saw it his name was there; ever since he had left it he had been in the King's Bench ; of his own knowledge he did not know whose name was substituted in his stead. Being pressed on the subject, he Admitted that his wife had told him thAt the name of Williams was up : did not know Williams; might have seen him ; did nut know that he was the re puted son of Mr. Levy; had seen him at Levy's hotcse in the same manner as he had seen several there on bu siness; did not know he was an inmate in the house, or an apprentice; Levy took the whole of his property while he was in prison ; had received no account of the particulars so as to ascertain the amount of valuation. Mr. HEATH...—It was £149 14s. The insolvent went en to state that the property so seized was worth £BOO, which none of his creditors could doubt—denied ever having told Mr. Phillips, bis opposing creditor, that he was worth £7OO. or £BOO, and owed nothing. He could not have said so. Ile (Phillips) knew better—never said that he had been dis appointed in not receiving a marriage portion, and had risen by his own industry. The insolvent was then in terrogated as to some machinery sent to Mr. Pea ke% for repair, which, he said, had been subject to an interdict from the Sheriff. He repeatedly denied any knov, ledge of the extraction, frauds, or connexions of Williams, his successor, who was put in by his father-in-law. lie did not know who, among his friends, beyond his wife, at tended at Hatton-garden—he saw the report of the transaction in the papers, and replied to it. Mr. Giles Phillips deposed, that he engraved a plate for insolvent, the price of Which was fourteen guineas —the demand of witness was from £l7 to £lB ; insol vent told witness that he had cleared £7OO last year, exclusive of all expenses; was quite positive of this; never heard or knew of a warrant of attorney being ex tant, or he would not have trusted him. Mr. HEATH cross-examined this witness, but nothing was elicited to contradict his examination in chief. Mr. HEATH then examined the insolvent.—The bills were given to Wicks, his late partner, at the time of the dissolution of partnership; Wicks had held his father in-law to bail on one of the bills overdue, but had sub sequently taken a renewal; beyond these bills Levy was responsible to a Mr. Duke for £250, for goods delivered to the firm of " Solomons and Wicks." The examination having terminated, Mr. POLLOCK addressed the Court—They had heard the contradictory testimony of the insolvent and Mr. Phillips, and it would be for the Court to consider on which side truth preponderated. Mr. HEATH, for the insolvent, submitted that he was entitled to his discharge. The COURT observed, that they had no alternative, in the absence of stronger evidence, however they might view the transaction as pregnant with suspicion ; but the insolvent must recollect, that if it should hereafter turn out that his testimony was false, he might be brought before the Court and have his discharge re voked, and furthermore be liable to all the pains and penalties due to perjury. The judgment of the Court was, that he be discharged forthwith. From some cause or other this case excited intense in tetest among the inhabitants of Clerkenwell, many of whom were present at the investigation as spectators. W. Tordit - of Newtown, Whitehaven, died last week by drinking rum on board of a West Indiaman, alongside Whitehaven Quay. At the Guildford Assizes, Mr. Hicks recovered 1251. damages from Mr. Cotsworth, a bricklayer, employed by the Commissioners of Sewers, for leaving an open sewer unprotected near the Obelisk, by which himself and horse fell in, and Mr. Hicks received very consider. able injury. The famous rocking-stone at Roxbury, in the United States, computed to weigh forty tons, so balanced that it might be moved by a single person, was lately rolled from its pivot. It appears that the owner of the land on which it stood, frightened by the number of those who came to view it, procured a dozen or two of persons to overthrow it. A SCOTCH GLUTTON.—The Glasgow Chronicle thus records the feat of a fellow, whom it would be much better to keep a week than a fortnight :—" Tuesday evening a dinner was proposed for an individual in a public-house, along with some others taking a dram. When the din ner arrived from his lodgings it consisted of one gallon of broth, containing 1 lb. barley, and Id. cabbage, Id. worth of turnips; 1 lb. oat-bread, a leg of lamb 3 lbs. in weight, two lambs' heads, one pluck, and the contents 1 of the two heads, all which he finished by eating in a furious manner. A person in company proposed a wager that the same individual alluded to would eat another leg of lamb of 3lbs. weight as soon as it could be got ready; an opposite person took up the wager, bets doubled. The leg was sent for without loss of time—it weighed albs. stewed, and made ready for eat ing in less than an hour ; when set before him, he be gan with his usual voracity, finished the half of it, and said, " had it been older killed, I could have eaten it ith pleasure." An Orkney man has lately defaced two of the old 1 moss -covered columns in the interior of St. Magnus's Cathedral, at Kirkwall.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Solicitor to the Assignees of a bankrupt who had contracted to excavate at the new Post office, applied to the LORD MAYOR to authorize the removal of a quantity of scaffolding, of considerable value, from the premises. The presence of the police, he believed, would be absolutely necessary to enforce the order, as there were no less than 200 Irishmen concerned in detaining the property, and tho 4 persons were disposed to fight for it with pick-axes and any other desperate weapons they could lay hold of. The LORD Nlovos. asked whether the Irishmen had any claim upon the scaffolding? Solicitor declared they had not the slightest colour of a de mand upon the assignees. The contractor for the new building bad employed the bankrupt to supply certain materials to assist in the excavation. On Friday last the act of bankruptcy was committed. The excavator, who was in the habit of paying the men weekly, was supplied with the money to pay them as usual; but they complained row that their week's labour was not paid for, and therefore in sisted upon detaining the scaffolding, which they swore they would not permit to be taken from the premises without the order of the Lord Mayor, who, they thought, would do them justice. The Loan Mavon observed, that the case was very bard upon the poor hard-working Irishmen, most of whom probably had families to suprort, and not one of whom could afford to lose the value of a day's labour. The Solicitor said the bankrupt's property was not responsible, as the money had been appropriated sauce he had failed. The pro perty of which the If ishmen had possession, was now the property of the creditors, who were recognized under the statute. If the Lord Mayor would not order the removal, a most serious breach of the peace, was likely to ensue, as the Assignees were determined to take away whatever the creditors had a claim to. The LORD MAYOR said, that the Assignees nitric look to the con sequences of any breach of the peace they might sanction. Ills Lordship then refused to authorize the removal of the property, but sent offizers to prevent ally breach of the peace on either side. MAR LIiOROUG 11-STREET. Mary Carroll, a good-looking woman, was proceeded against, beb.re Messrs. DYER and CONANT, Magistrates, by the officers of St. George's parish, Hanover-square, under an Act of Parliament seldom Ft.. into operation of late years, namely, that" for the punish ment of lewd women." One of the Overseers of the parilh stated, that in March, 1823, this woman was delivered of an illegitimate child in their ',lrish, the father of which she did not, she said, know, and consequently the parish was bound to maintain her and her child, which they continued to do until she came one morning to the workhouse, and received Zs. and on that very night she left her child, two months old, on the steps of Lord Sidney's hall-door, where it was found by a watchman, and taken to the workhouse, where it died in the course of a few days: the unnatural mother had absconded, and had not since been heard of, until she now came forward, and brought another child to be supported by the parish; and she swore that she could not even guess as to who was the father. The Magistrates said, that they were happy to say they s►ldom had occasion to put this Act in force ; but they never knew a case more deserving of punishment under it than the present, and com mitted the prisoner to the House of Correction for six weeks. UNION-HALL. Yesterday, a boy, of not more than ten years of age, named Skinningtint, was brought up in the custody of Maisey, a constable, before L. B. ALUM, Esq. charged with having committed the fol lowing daring robbery : William Johnson, shopman to Mr. Jones, a silk-mercer, of High street, Borough, stated, that about ten o'clock that morning, as he was engaged behind the counter, he heard a noise proceed from the window, and on looking to it, saw a band within one of the panes of glass, grasping a valuable shawl and a piece of Bandana handker chiefs. He instantly jumped across the counter, and saw the pri soner pass the articles to a man, who instantly " bolted," and escaped with the things. The prisoner, however, was secured on the spot, but none of the property found upon him. The witness was convinced that it was the prisoner's hand he saw take the shawl and piece of handkerchief out of the window. The pane of glass appeared to have been cut with a glazier's diamond. The young thief, on hearing the evidence against him, surprised everybody in the office by the ingenious manner in which he exa mined the witness on the improbability of the story he had just told against hint. _ _ Prisoner—How can you swear it was my band you saw in your shop-window? If I was the thief, would not the instrument that cut the glass have been found in my possession when you were searching me? No; neither the shawl, handkerchief, nor anything else of suspicion was found upon my person; besides, is it likely that I should " do the thing," that can earn an honest living by my tilde ? I did not even attempt to run, after the robbery. The Magistrate asked him what his trade was? Prisoner.—l goes about curing warts ; and if any Gentleman in the Office has warts or bunyons, I will cure him of the wont kind in less than a week, that is, if he pays me. The Magistrate desired him to tell exactly the truth, and give up the name of his companion; but neither threats nor persuasions could induce him to do either. He positively declared that he knew no thing at all about the business " he was had up for," farther than seeing a man thrust something into his breast and run off with it. He was asked whether be was ever " had up " to any Office be fore? " Lord bless you ;me ! I don't know what it is to be inside a prison ; I am as innocent as the child unborn." Mr. Jones's shopman being positive as to the identity of the pri soner, Mr. ALLEN observed, that he never yet saw a boy in a surer road to the gallows than he was. It was evident, from the slang terms he had made use of, that he was not a novice at his business ; and there was very little doubt that he was known to the police at the other side of the water. Under these circumstances, he should now be committed for trial. A respectable and wealthy butcher, named Ralplw, residing in Walwortb, appeared before the sitting Magistrate to answer the fol lowing complaint :—A Gentleman, who was a customer of the de fendant's, stated, that on Saturday evening he went to the shop for the purpose of purchasing a joint. lie took out his purse, which contained a 54 note and some silver, and paid for the meat with a part of the silver. After which he left the shop, and on the Monday following, having occasion for some money out of the purse, he immediately missed the 51. note. It at once occurred to him that he must have dropped the note in the defendant's shop, when he was paying for the meat on the Saturday, and that it would be restored to him on application. In this, however, be was disappointed ; for on stating his loss to the defendant, in the presence of his wife, both of them declared that the note had not been dropped iu their shop, and that they knew nothing about it. The complainant, however, was so satisfied of having lost the note in the way stated, that he instantly set about an inquiry, and traced it to the possession of Mr. Patten. of Leadenhall-market, whose clerk he ascertained had taken it that morning from Mr. Italphe.—[Here the complainant stated the number and the endorsements on the note).—He went back to the defendant's shop, and informed him and his wife of the circum , stance, saying that he had no inclination to pursue the business any further, if they consented to make good his loss. They refused, however, to listen to any such proposition, and he was treated with great impertinence, particularly by the defendant's wife, who in sisted that she had taken the note, which was given to Patten, from a customer. The complainant required the name of that customer to be given up to him ; and on making inquiries of the individual mentioned, ascertained that she had not given the note in question either to the defendant or his wife. Under these circumstances, he (the complainant) considered that the case was one that should come before a Magistrate. Mr. Attiat observed, that the case was as clear as possible ; the note was traced to have been in the possession of the defendant,who could not give the slightest satisfactory account of the manner in which he had become possessed of it. If the note was not delivered up to the Gentleman by Wednesday, serious consequences would I arise. lie, however, hoped that there would be no necessity for adopting l: rsli measures, by the restoration of the note to its owner. A Gentleman in Edinburgh is in possession of the cap which the Eatl of Argyll, who was beheaded in 1685, a - ote upon the scaffold. It is of white satin, lined with linen, and having a border beautifully wrought. It is also mach stained with the blood which flowedfrom the veins of the noble martyr. The Gentleman is a Tory, but feels a profound and becoming venei ation for this sad re:ic of one of Scotland's greatest patiiots. The present King of PERSIA made many inquiries of Sir HA RFORD JONES respecting America, saying, What sort of a place is it? How do you get at it? Is it under ground, or how ? " It should be lold to the cs eiit of Morlaisd, the painter, that he wai not vain of his talent. He knew exactly how he stood in his art. " I can paint a better land ,,cape than any living artist," said he, " excepting De Loutherbourg, but I must knock under to him, and be 1 1—d to him." HORRIBLE MURDER. The Court of Assize, at Rouen, has been occupied with the trial of a barber of that town named Veillie; e, for the murder of his wife, on the 2S:11 of April la t . The principal facts, as detailed in ev;deece, were a s follow :—On the day abovementione I, wife had been living separate from him in conegrienc of the crue:ty and depravity of his coaduct, call e d ,„ the house of a Madame Padais, where his wife happ ene d to be, and insisted upon seeing het. He affected a c4. :11 and penitent air, and entreated his wife to be encore; to him. This, however, she Tensed, but with out osa , any irritating expressions, F.he endeavoured t o l eave apartment, but was pi evented by her husband, . still continued talking to Madame Padais. All of sudden, and without the slightest word er I,oi could have intimated his late:Lunn, he drew hi s horn his pockets, where he had held them since his to _ trance, and rushing upon his wife, seized her by the hair of the head, dragged her into a cm tier of the roottl, and stabbed her twice with a knife in the neck. At h er cries, Madame Padais ran towards them, scizel Veil liere, and tore him from his victim, but not until h e i idd inflicted another wound upon !:erg Madame l'ad a i and he then struggled for a long time, until they bon, fell, when he escaped from her grasp, leaving the skw; of his coat behind. With redoubled fury, he rettirt,e I to his expiring wife, and taking the blade of the kni , e, for the handle had been brolen off in the struggle, L. plunged it into her belly, in which he made a even:4r incision of four or five inches in diameter. Sonic nor nea who had been present at the commencement of horrid scene, fled away, terrified, and crying out tor help. Their cries brought the other lodgers in the house to the scene, and as they were about to seize Veilliere, he gave himself several stabs with the kii!te, exclaiming, "I wish to die with hei." Nme of Ike wounds being serious, he was soon able to undergo ail examination. He sought to establish that the crime w..s unpremeditated, saying, that when lie endeavoured to kiss his stile, she spat in his face, and that exaspera:ed at such treatment, he had struck at her with a knife, not knowing what he did. Bat this account was falsi fied by the witnesses, and other facts brought foiwatd to prove premeditation ; his having been on inn. watch for tome days; his having purchased a kid day before the murder. During the trial he a firmness and assurance that did not desert him to t a single moment. The Jury, after a few minute; deliberation, found him Guilly, unanimously. He heard his sentence with( ut die slightest emotion. Since his condemnation, he re fused to appeal, and gave, in writing, his detetminatiuri, which he wrote with a firm hand. The hue' val be tween his sentence and execution he passed, except the time devoted to sleep, ins playing cards. He had an in ordinate passion for gambling, which was the primary cause of his depravity and ruin. To get his feilow prisoners to play with him, he used to tiirealen, when they refused, to haunt them after his death. The clay before his execution the cards were never out of hi; hands, till he went to bed, when he slept soundly. Next morning, after breakfasting heartily, he resumed his card-playing, and did not leave off till the fatal mo ment came for him to go to the chapel, on his way to the scaffold. He then entreated that his fellow-prisoners, who had been playing with him, might be allowed to accompany him to Chapel. flr confessed, with great calmness, and listened with atter , ion to the discourse of the Clergyman. On his way to the scaffold, lee spewed the same unshakeable firmness. Jost before submitting to the fatal knife, he addressed the people, and recited a few lines of poetry which he had written %ince his tiial. Friday, an individual of the name of Sarni:no, after having Isere brought before the Court of Assizes as a fraudulent bankrupt, ap peared again before the same Court on a new charge, with , hire accomplices, Fronds Patel, Ade/aide Fougesi. and the w.f. f Setrmont. Sieur Herbert Francfort, declared, that giving way to the entreaties of the wife of Surmont, who told him that she bad something aim portanee to communicate to hint, he repaired to her on the Z.lst of May last, when she induced him to go into a room at the back of the house and at the bottom of the court. No sooner were they met together than Surmont's wife locked thr door. Sieur Francrort, who began to be alarmed. seized the key and opened the door: all at once, two persons, clothed as sailnrs, threw themselves upon him, saying, in an under tone, " icoundiell we have been waiting for you these three or four days." Ac the same moment they threw a rope round his neck, beat him vie• lently, held his arms, and tied his legs together, and stuffed his mouth with a handkerchief ; and kneeling upon his liosly, de clared that he must accept ce rt a i n hill s or f or t. i t hi s life. After more than an hour had expired, the Sieur FraLctiot being no longer able to endure his torment, consented to his own injury.— Surmotit and Mittel then placed hint on a chair before a small table, when they loosed his hands and compelled hint to sign ninety checqnes or bills, the greater part not filled op. They afterwards compelled him to subscribe to a paper, by which he was made to acknowledge that these documents were given in compensation for an adulterous intercourse with Madame Surmont. This fi ightful scene lasted from eight in the evening till nue in the morning. &amnia was sentenced to 20 ye ars' hard labour. Pettel to 15 years, and Surmont's wife to five years. The prisoners have appealed against the sentence to the Court of Cassation.—Purianw'r An article from Stettin, of the Gth instant, says, the Mentor, the first l'russian vessel which has come from Chitia kith the productions of the place, will arrive here on the 19th this mouth.
