THE ROSE TREE. 0 ! I have seen the row-tree flourish, A green, a gay, a lovely bow'r,— The trees of Heav'n its misses nourish, And springs beneath its shade the Bower! A fragrance from each bud exhaling, A verdure blushing, clear, and chaste; There, Summer might have plac'd her dwelling, And Spring have said, " 'Tis here I'll rest !" I passtd ;—abon, no gem it shaded, While all its honours strewed the lea ; Alas ! said I, the rose is faded, Winter has vrteeked his wrath on thee! So Beauty blooms—a peerless treasure; All gay and green to ev'ry eye ; The pride of youth, the charm of pleasure;— But Beauty, like the Rose, must die ! CLENNELL, THE ARTIST. The misfortunes of this highly-gifted artist have been of a deep and awful character; but it is to be hoped that brighter prospects are yet in store for him. His celebrated picture, The decisive Charge of the Life Guards at the Battle of Waterloo, which has been en graved, and 77re Banquet given to the Allied Sovereigns at Guildhall, painted for the late Earl of Bridgewater, are too well known to require description. But the latter is peculiarly interesting, not only lot the extraordinary picturesque manner in which so unpromising a subject is treated, and the faithtul portraits it contains, but from it.; being the immediate cause of his unhappy de rangement. Devoted to his pencil, and stiivin,; to ren tier the picture worthy the event it commemorates, the many archous and complicated difficulties he had to en counter were too much for him—his active and enter prising mind gave way, and he sunk at once from ge nius and fame, to insanity and seclusion. He became an inmate of one or two lunatic asylums, and was finally removed to Laverstock House, near Salisbury, and placed under the care of Dr. Finch. During his retirement there, his of acted wife, the accomplished daughter of the eminent engraver, Warren, borne down by the shock of her husband's calamity, fell a victim to the same disease; and it is a remarkable fact, that though separated from each other by distance, and under different superintendence, the most perfect sympathy was found to have existed in the respective stages of their disease, and the excitement and depression were in variably mutual. In a few months the attack proved fatal to her, and she was shortly afterwards followed to the grave by one of her children. Thus bereaved of reason, of wife, and child, the unconscious and unfor tunate Clennell became an object of attention to many Noblemen and Gentlemen who knew his talent;, his worth, and his misfortunes: Means were taken to procure a subsistence for him and his two remaining children, I and his friends and patrons had the happiness to feel that they had placed them above want. But scarcely was this benevolent act accomplished, when death suddenly snatched away his lathe! w, Warren!— In process of time, his disease ic.oned to yield to the treatment he received, and the lust dawn of returning reason was his wish to be suppli , Ni with pencil and paper: and it is a sin:;ular truth, that his fart efforts in drawiag were dirteted to the very r udest and earliest principles of the art. lie ryveared con..ider it iy:ces sary to feel his way, as it were, and to proceed by re gular gradations .to the full developernent of his usual talent. Tic sketclit., w hicih he after wards drew ate , eminently beautifid, and all things seemed to mk fa voinably for his tlitiltlitle recovery ; but t:ie fear of the effect which pr„ .laced upon his shattered sea :es by the commimicaticn ef his great and acriimulated losses, ope: ated k rpv•l the hope of 1-efil:.:ct resto ration. At length the time at rived wnen Dr. Fii:ch con- Littered the exper;inent siVely he made. lie there fore requested some of his family to see!, al . ( ' t a k e Inn, an interesting hoy c f ten y•zar. of :tee, v. ith them. It was a moment of intense and [Moira y, and the utmost caution and delicacy were nece.sary in unfolding the miseries and privations which 14.til befallen him ; but when, as a set-oft against his overwhelming di -.tress, his boy was given to his arms, his feelings of delight ob tained the mastery, and he bore the afflicting tidings with fortitude. I Its earnest gaze dwelt upon his son' s features—he led him with a feeling of proud and paren tal affection to exhibit him to his fellow patients; and . when he patted from him, though he wept, he relin quished him with cheerfulness, and presented him with a favourite rabbit, which be bade him love and cherish. It was iecvived as an assm ante of approaching sanity; and as the interview has been attended with the hap piest results, it will rejoice those friends who so ardently espoused his cause, to hear that he is now in a state of convalescence, and that there is every reason to believe that a few weeks will restore hint to himself and to the world.—Salisbury Journal. • - WILTSHIRE SOCI ETV —The Eighth Anniversary of this admirable County Charity was celebrated on Tuesday at the Albion Tavern. The Report made by the Committee intimated a considerable increase in Stock Rind of the Charity ; the necessary officers were appointed for the ensuing year; and the list of dona tions announced was highly respectable. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL, UNtox.--Tuesday morning at five o'clock a large assemblage of respectable persons met at the City of London Tavern, to partake of a public breakfast, preparatr:ry to a general meeting of the above Society. There were upwards of 1,500 persons present. After the repast the company repaired to the spacious room fitted up for the meeting, and soon after six .'click, J. BLITZAWORTtr, Esq. ALP. was voted to the Chair. The UM Dr. 11101111111014, JOSEPH MAITLAND, Esq. and several Clergy men, addressed the Meeting, which broke up at half.past nine. • Early yesterday morning, as riiie of the waggons usually attending Nesvgate-market was bash ini; in Paternoster-row. • the hind part of tbe waggon drilYQ it) the slnattri. scathe lower part of the Chapter Coffee-house, destroying tile frat:-., Oasis, &c.

In the afternoon of the same day another riot, of a like brutal nature, also took place in the Cowgate, but having a more definable object; for in this instance a man (a Scotsman) was savagely beaten, knocked down, and inhumanly kicked by ten or a dozen others, and in the end was carried away insensible.

PARKI4 Mr. PARKINS, on this cause being called on, took his station on the floor, and proceeded to address the Court.. He had now to apply to their I.ordships for a rule to chew cause why there should not be a new trial in the cause in which he was defendant, and Byrne plaintiff, and never had any individual presented himself to the Court under circumstances more painful to a man of honour than he now did. He trusted the Court would make allowance for any errors in' which he might in :Advertently fall, owing to his ignorance of the forms of the Court. He now held in his hand several affidavits un which he had to move the Court. The LORD CHIEF JUsTICE—You move on affidavits. You had better hand them in, and have them read by the Officer.---Indeed, it would be more regular that I should read my notes taken at the trial, for the infor mation of the Court. his Lordship accordingly pro ceeded to read his notes. The affidavits of the defendant, and of two persons, named Taylor and Herbert, were then put in and rea..l. The defendant, in his affidavit, swore that the account he had given of the approptiwion of the subsctiption monies received for Byrne wa, co:rect; and that the account entered in a certain book kept for that purpose was a true account. Taylor and Herbert o swore to their belief, that the account entered in the book in ques tion was a correct account.. The affidavits of Wiiiiam Jackson and William Buckley Clark, were also put in and read, and %%ere similar in substance. The a tfijavit of the defendant, stating that he had been taken by surprise, was al.° tendered ; but it appearing that this was not swoin until yesterday, the first four days of the Term hiving expiie,i, the Court held that it cculd not be received. The &Celli:rut then prom:Jed to ad:lit...s. the Com t, and to complain of the attacks which been mAde : upon his character. Ile had been charged :Ilia-lost with murder—positively with robbery. A po:71- by strong necessity, would Live been Nut such was his case, he was a rich man—he was I:at a man who bad the excuse of necessity fi^r robber v, and therelme he ‘vas contlear , ,ed without a hetrii. It was known that he was rich—rich in p: uric; ::nd rich in a good conscience; the first was proved 1:v hit , having within these few weeks oared to ernb:trf: 11;.- wards of 50,000/. in a cei rain Freruhtion, but by the ports of malignant w = ren , .le:ed pf)m.---he was stripped of repination—he cuidd I,ut suiiport it.— (Here the worthy Ex S!ieriff died teats.) The LORD CIIIEF Jr•TiCZ remi :Jed dqendant that nothing he was now urging ;tad an) thing to do with the piesent question. The Defendant a esti med— His character had been attacked, traduced, and vibtied, by the falsehoods of Scott, Cobbett, and others. Mr. Justice BAYLLY—Mr. Parkins, hear me: you are now throwing abuse out upon pet . sQns who are not befote the Court; pay avoid ;uch epithets—the Cow t cannot Le ar them. The Defendant—Yes, my Lord, I was obliged t sit on thorns in this place for an hour and a halt to hear a per.,on, who WA: protected by his gown and wig, heap thegro,scst roc', The Lon» Cittri , .lusncE—That case has nothing to do with ti pre ent. T'-:c Dc!endant—Well then, my Lord, we will pass is over and come to thew esent ca,e. The defer.chnt thou. occe(!ei to comment on the evidence, and to go into a wide of invective against persons, some of whom Vt Cue covnected, and (Alms unconnected, v.ith the pit:- sent trial, when Lotto ti fix JUSTICE again stepped him, n d ob• served, the Coin t t mild! hot sit to hear such arttumenis. Tht :Mend:mt.—My Lad, you ale in the habit of hcating, with pazieqce, the argumems of those who come before. vou. Lout) CHIEF Jus - ncr.—The Court cannot sit to hear you or any man in England utter that which they ought not to Lear. The dulendatit again proceeded, and becoming again irregular, was repeatedly stopped by the Court. At lo lg tn iic 4aid, " My Lords, I am ready to pay all the money into Court, and abide by any decision your Lord- Jiips come to, it I can but relieve my character front this imputation." Ti,c Loup Cntsr Jusrice—Mr. Phillips, you are for the plaintiff; can any thi n g be done to arrange this matrer ? Mr. Prituirs.\\liy, my Lnt%l, I an, here alone, without the Solicitor of the o.lintitl; we cu r a second verdict i❑ considerati,,n of this. Mr. Justice 13AyLLy----You took E.:ay shillings, but perhaps you gut more in this cane than you ought in justice to have taken. The question here is, whether you shall have a new trial, or whether these damages , hould not be reduced? Perhaps the Jury gave a ver dict he;e for more than you are entitled to keep. Mr. Puiwes—l'll tell you, my Lord, what I am ready to do. lf Mr. Parkins thinks he has been unjustly treated, I am ready to ny both actions over again. The Del":•ndara—With all my heart ! with all my heart ! with all my heart ! Mr. Justice 13a Yi.Ey.—The coarse most beneficial to the parties would be, I think, that some Gentleman should take this case and consider it out of Court ; giving Mr. Parkins ctelt for the money ‘‘ hich the plaintiff had received, and for such expei,diture as it should appear he was entitled to charge; by this means Byrne would receive all h is entitled to much sooner than in any other way. _ _ _ Mr. Pult,tips.---My Lord, I hope your Lordship sill consider we gave up another verdict in the action fur slander. Mr. Parkins confessing the slander. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.-1 think the proper course t:! be adopted would be, that Mr. Parkins should have a rule in the alternative, namAy, either to shew cause why there should not he a new trial, or why the da mages should not be reduced. Mr. PARKINS, with great energy.-66 My Lord, I shall feel grateful to yarn Lordship to the latest mo ment of my existence." Mr. PIIII.LIPS.—My Lord, I trust Mr. Parkins is aware that the affidavits he has this day put in are to he filed. The Defendant.—To be sure I am, Mr. Phillips. To be sure I am. My Lords, let me explain. I did not make any offer of compromise to Mr. Phillips in the action of slander; the offer came from him to me. The rule was then granted as suggested by the Lord Chid Justice, and the defendant retired appareittly with feelings highly gratified. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 12. COMFORTS OF A FAISON. On a motion being made this morning for the dis charge 01 a prisoner, Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET said that he would not be prepared on the subject till te-morrow morning. In the meantime the prisoner prayed to re- main in custody. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—He prays to be accom modated in prison one day longer? Mr. Serjedint BOSANQUET —Ye% my Lord. The CHIEF JUSTICE.—Let it be so. It is the hand somest compliment I ever beard paid to an Advocate. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, MAY 11. THE COUVTESS OT HARCOURT. _ - - Lord Srown.t. gave sentence in this case .to-day ; and after com menting upon the description of the voyage for which the parties claiming wages had engaged—as that description appeared in the heading of the articles—he expressed his opinion, that the men were by no means bound, after their arrival In the Downs, to proceed to Dollard ; that if the Alaster persisted in sailing for a Dutch port, when the agreement with the mariners was expressly for a voyage " from London to New South Wales, via Cork, and elsewhere, and hack to the port of Lonel3n," the men were:justified in declining to co:aiiitie with him fur that which was, in fact, a new trip ; and that their leaving the vessel under such circumstances was not a deser tion, nor anything that could, in fair construction, be said to resemble a desertion. If the refusal of the seamen to proceed to Holland were to be considered a desertion, it would be difficult to define the understanding of any terms that affected to impose any limitations whatever upon voyages. If the one party was to be bound by the language of the agreement, so should the other party be; and that other party had stipulated with the men, that from the port at which their outward voyage might terminate, they should return— not to Rotterdam, or elsewhere, and London—but to the port of London. Unsier the circumstances of the case, the Court prottoanced the wages claimed by the mariners to be due ; and condemned the master and owners it; all the costs of the proceedings in this Court. PUBLIC DINNER 'I (, PROFESSOR JARDINE. GLASG(iTi', MAY 6. Yesterday, the Pupils II Professor JARDINE gave a public dinner, in the Town Hall, Glasgow, to their much respected Teacher, %Nil°, timing a period of fifty years, has discharged the important duties of Pro lessor of Logic in this University, ttith an eminence which has never, in this country, been surpassed— Wth -1.1 A M of Cal.kvell , Esq. in the Chair—Viscount GLI:NOLCIiv, Croupier. About two hundred Gentle men assembled on this interesthig occasion, wally having come from distant lams of the country.

Proiessoi's reply was expressive of the utmost kindhes for his pupils, whiie, at the same time, it contained a manly and anirn.lred statement of the rise and progress of tl.4t system of educath , a which distinguishes his hame. Among the n:any Gentlemen who spoke on ti.is occasion, were, Loud GLENORCOY ; Mr. JAMES AJVi)CatC ; M`Fn ItLA NE ; Prin cipal HALDANE, of Sc. Andrew's; Dr. APGILL, Dr. M.LEAN, Dr. GIRD, Dr. Iloocsox, Dr. SCOTT, of Greenock, and Mr. JOHN JARDINE, Advocate, who, on the " Root-tree of Haliside" being given as a toast, ex pressed most feelingly all that was to be expected flow a son on such an occasion. The entertainment, the music, as well vocal as instrumental, and the arrange ments, were all excellent, and the evening was spent ia a most satisfactory manner.

John Stewart, who kept a public-house in Perth, litving quarrelled is ith his wife, is. said to have struck her so severely, as to calve her to take to bed, where she died in the ceurse of a few days.

'lnc iehland Society, we understaml,have concluded their inquiry into the proportions of health to sickness amore, individuals throughout Scotland. According to the experience of the Friendly Societies of Scotland, it is found that the average annual sickness of a;, indivi dual is pretty nearly as follows:—Prom 20 to 30, about one-tenth part or a week kr each five years of his age; thus, at 30, it will be about six-tenths of a week annually on an ave; age. In the decade from 40 to 50, it is about one week annually ; from 50 to 60, the average is about two weeks art ivally ; from 60 to 70, six weeks; and above 70, about 18 weeks annually. For the guidance of Friendly Societies, tables founded on these results ate, we understand, to be published, which may be use ful in preventing the general ruin from miscalculation to which such in-titutions have long been subject. The master ship carpenters of Sunderland and Shields have now for tipwatds of two months been at variance with their servants, and when it is knovn that nearly a thousand men have been out of employment during that period, it will readily be supposed that considerable in jury must have hen done to the trade of bolh towns. In consequence of thee dissensions, indeed, not less than four distinct classes of men have suffered, and arc still sublet ing eat inconveni,atce: these are the journeymen carpenters, ..the ma=ter carpenters, the ship owners, and the shopkeepers. As in all similar disputes, each of the centending parties affirms that it is the one aggrieved. The servants or journeymen carpenters it seems have for med them , .elves into Union Clubs, (a practice now followed in most ports in the kingdom and particularly in Liverpool), and refuse to work except on certain conditions, the principal of which is, that their masters should take none but seven yeats appientice ; and the object they have in view by this is, to reduce the number of journeymen carpenters, and hence keep their labour in greater requisition. Another of their rules is, that if one of the body is objected to—it may be because he is an indifferent u orkinan—the rest resolve to leave the employ, and carry the resolution into effect. The master carpenters refuse to submit to any such terms, and will not require their services so long as they remain in these Union Clubs. It ought 16 be observed that the raen are under no engag,ernents to then masters. The ship owners have taken a part decidedly in favour of the master carpenters, and have come to a determination, at their meetings, to encourage the repairing of shil:s at Whitby, &c. Some of the ship carpenters have a number of apprentices, and these, in consequence of the present differences with the journeymen, have full em ployment ; others have few or no apprentices, and are consequently at a stand.. As the interests of the masters themselves are, therefore, so decidedly at variance, it seems probable some accommodation w iii speedily take place.— Tyne Mercury.

GUILDHALL Thomas &feria was brought up on a warrant obtained by the Solicitor of the Treasury, for publishing Paine's Age of Itensm,and Palmer's Principles of Nature, which works the prisoner sold 4, Cousins on the 3d May, at Carlile's shop, Fleet-streer, in defiance of the law, and not regarding the fate proceedings against Campiea who is employed in the same shop. The Solicitor of the Treasury then told the Alderman, that•he required the usual hail from prisoner for his appearance at the Sessions. The information aLd depositions were then read ever to the prisoner, and be was ask• d if he had any question to put to the witnesses, or if he had 3; : y thing to say? The prisoner, who is a very meagre, shabbily.dressed ynitng ma ,, , said he did not consider the publishing of them any crime. Alderman ANSLEY then told the prisoner the law had e.:pr.i.4 forbid the doctrines of those hooks to be ilkserninateil by ooli. lication, and as he had infringed ti.e law he should Aide 11r should, therefore, find bail, himself in tip!. and two iv hert The prisoner s.iid he had no hail ready.

His L•r,lship was of opinion that this was a fraudulent excuse, invented for t! - .e purpose of obtaining valuable articles of plate at the price of silver, and therefore he requested a search warrant, in the ho,le recovering it in its original state. - - The Magistrate, however, was of opinion, that he had nn diction in such case, and declined issuing the warrant ; at the sane time observing that it was pos•ible redress could he obtained in the Courts above ; which course his Lordship said he shauld adopt.

Accounts from Havannah of a late date, state, that at the Isle of Pines, the HussArt, ICA RUS, and SPEED WELL, were in search of a notorious pirate, who had taken shelter in one of the numerous creeks of thit island. Whilst engaged in this service, the boat of the SPEEDWELL was fired into by the pirates, and the L;eu tenant, Midshipman, and several of the crew, were killed. Captain HARRIS, with his squadron, had sur rounded the island, and it was understood had landed a body of men, with a determination to capture the law less ruffians ; and every hope existed of the complete success of the undertaking. It was supposed at the Havannah, that a communication brought by Lieute nant IlossoN (of the LION) to the Governor of Cuba, overland from Batabona, was to request his sanction for landing a body of British seamen on the Isle of Pines, in order effectually to destroy the nest of pirates that had been formed there.
