THE HIGHLAND CHIEFTAIN. A Chieftain to the Highlands bound, Cry'd boatman de not tarry, And I'll give thee a silver pound To row us o'er the ferry. Now who be ye would cross Lochgyle, This dark and stormy water, Oh, I'm the Chief of INA Isle, And this Lord Ullin's daughter! 'And fast before her Father's men Three days we've Bed together, For if be find us in the glen, My bldod will stain the heather. His horsemen bard behind as ride, Should they our steps discover, Then, who would cheer my bonny bride, When they have slain her lover ? Out spoke the hardy Highland Wight, I'll go my Chief, I'm ready ; It is not for your silver bright, But for your winsome Lady. And, by my word, the botany bird In danger shall not tarry, Lo, though the waves are raging white) I'll row you o'er the ferry ! By this the storm grew loud apace, The water-wraith Was shrieking, And in the scowl of Heaven, each face Grew dark as they were speaking. But still, as wilder blew the wind, And as the night grew drearer, • Adown the glen rode armed men, Their trampling sounded nearer ! Oh, haste thee ! haste! the Lady cries, The' tempests round us gather, I'll meet the raging of the skies, But not an angry Father ! The boat has left a stormy land A stormy sea before her, When, oh, too strong for human hand, The tempest gather'd o'er her ! And still they row'd, amidst the roar Of waters fast prevailing, Lord Ullin reach'd that foal shore, His wrath was chang'd to wailing : For, sore dismay'd, thro' storm and shade, His child he did discover, One lovely hand she stretch'd for aid, And one was round her lover ! Conte back ! come back ! be cried in grief, Across this raging water, And I'll forgive your Highland Chief, My daughter, Oh, my daughter ! 'Twas vain—the loud wave lash'd the shore, Return, or help preventing ; The waters wild went o'er his child, And he was left lamenting ! ST. BRIDES CHURCH, FLEET-STREEr. In consequence of the numerous suggestions through the medium of the public press, recommending the taking advantage of the opening occasioned by the late conflagration in Fleet-street, to preserve to the Public the view of that noble edifice, the parish church of St. B ide, which is one of the finest works of Sir Christo pher Wren, a meeting of between twenty and thirty of the principal inhabitants of the parish was held yester day morning, at the Vestry-room, for the purpose of taking the subject into consideration: the Rev. Mr. CLARE, the Vicar, in the Chair. Mr. DYKES, the surveyor, exhibited two or three plans for the proposed opening ; and a long conversa tion ensued, in which Mr. SPOTTISWOODE, the King's Printer, who is exceedingly zealous for the improve ment, took a prominent part. The Meeting, indeed, was unanimous that it would be highly desirable to prevent the building from being again obscured, and, the only question appeared to be upon the practicabi lity of carrying the improvement into effect. Mr. NIARRIOTT, who was one of the sufferers at' the late fire, expressed his conviction that if any plan for pre s erving the opening in front of the Church should be determined upon, subscriptions for the purpose of effecting it would be forwarded from persons of taste entirely unconnected with the parish. He had autho tity to say, that a respectable inhabitant of the parish was already in possession of a list of names of indivi duals, with offers for that purpose, to the amount of 801. which had been transmitted in consequence of the recommendations of the public press upon the subject. A Committee of seven Gentlemen was then appointed to make the necessary inquiries of the ground-landlords and others having interests upon the spot, how far they might be disposed to enter into negotiations for the sale of their interests, and to ascertain m hat in that case would be the expense likely to be incurred to complete this desirable improvement, and to report thereon. BLACKPRIA RS BRIDGE.—A Correspondent, who ob serves, that a little regulation prevents much mischief, suggests, that till the present very inconvenient state of Blackfriars Bridge can be remedied, all those who cross it should always go on the right baud side of the buidge. For example, all the people going over to the Surrey side of the water should keep on the side of the bridge next Westminster, while all those corning into the City, should keep on the side of the bridge next Southwark Bridge. By this means there will be no jostling, and the danger from the present state of the bridge dimi nished. He remarks, as an additional recommenda tion to this practice, that it is adopted at Dresden, and other cities of the Continent. AWIRIL CATASTROPHE.—The ship Maria, Captain M. L. Behn, from London to Ilamburgh; was totally lost off Heligoland during the late gales ; six passen gers and all the crew were drowned. The . Captain was on the eve of being married to a young Lady, who ex pected his return at Hamburgh, where she went, accom panied by his mother, aged 68 ; the other passengers consisted of three Ladies and three German merchants; a large inheritance awaited one of them, had he safely reached his native shores; the brother of the Captain, who but a short time since lost the most affectionate of wives, leaves four children uneducated and not provided for. Subscriptions have been immediately entered into at Harnburgir by the numerous friends of the deceased, for the education of his children, whose loss is regretted by every one to whom his excellent character was known—an example most readily followed by his libe ral countrymen in England. In the early part of.Gaanica's career at Drury-lane Theatre, a tragedy was produced, in which the Roscius sustained the character of a King. - Though there was nothing relbarkably brilliant in the play, it met with no opposition till the fifth act, when GARRICK, as the dying Monarch, divided his empire between his two sons in the following line: " Jointly 'twixt you my crown I do bequeath." When a quaint man getting up in the pit, rejoined, " Then, gods! they've just got half a crown a-piece." This threw the whole house into such a comic convul sion, that not another word of the tragedy was uttered on the stage. POPULATION OF THE CITIES AND TOWNS- OF InEL AND. Dublin (within the Canals and Circular-road), 224,314 inhabitants, 12,116 houses.

Sunday morning, about two o'clock. a dreadful storm of thunder and lightning passed in a N.E. direction over Cheltenham, accompanied by torrents of rain and hail, which we understand has done considerable injury in the neighbourhood. The excessive heavy rains have carried away a bridge South of Ecclefechan, on the load between Glasgow and Carlisle, by which accident the London mail was, for two days, compelled to take a circuitous route of five miles and 'consequently it has been -nearly forty-nine minutes beyond time in reaching the latter city, both on Thursday and Friday evenings. Monday, it was finally determined upon by the Com mittee of Management, at their meeting, to proceed with the Water WOl ks through Canterbury. They have had several tenders of plans and specifications from ex perienced Engineers, to commence immediately. The Dover Mail Coach, on its journey from London; was upset near Greenstreet, on Sunday night, owing to the darkness of the night, the horses having missed the road, and dragged the coach partly on the footpath.— There were three passengers, besides the coachn►an and guard, who all escaped unhurt. Friday night, the shop of Mr. FISHER, watchmaker, Abbey Church-yard, Bath, was broken into, and about 23 watches of various descriptions, seven gold chains, 50 gold chased Seals, 35 gold keys, 8 musical boxes, a number of watch movements, and various other arti cles, were stolen therefrom, forming a total salue, it is said of 5001. Dr. Geitner, a skilful chemist at Schneeberg, in Saxony, has invented a new metallic cempound, the qualities of which very much resemble those of silver. It is malleable, and is not subject to rust or tarnish.— Candlesticks, spurs, &s. have already been fabric,ted with this composition; and it is highly probable that the discovery will lead to great alterations in the manu faeture of plated goods. Sunday afternoon, between five and six .o'clock, a robbery to a considerable amount was committed in the house of Mrs. Voss, a Lady residing at 21, Dean street, Canterbury-square, Southwark, during her absence at the afternoon service, who, upon her return home, found her drawers and trunks broken open, and* 1041. in 201. 101. and 51. notes of the Bank of England, and silver, besides a great quantity of valuable wear- ing-apparel, taken away. The maid -servant, a genteel looking girl, whom Mrs. Voss had taken into her ser vice a short time before film sheer humanity, without a character, and who was known only by the name of Peggy, is also missing. Mr. EseAus, surgeon, of Chepstow, has saved another human life by the stomach syringe. Ile thus relates the case in a letter, dated the 7th of October, addressed to the editors of the Medical Repository :-••••" A Lady took by mistake an ounce of laudanum. The circum• stance was immediately. discovered, and my attendance requested. Having in my possession one of the stomach. pumps introduced by Mr. Jukes, 1 resolved on its imme diate application. Half an hour had elapsed from the time when the poison was swallowed till that in which reached the patient. Having introduced the tube of the instrument into the stomach, I injected about three pints of warm water; and by gently moving the piston of the syringe, withdrew the whole contents of the organ, having a strong smell of laudanum. The patient perfectly recovered. Wednesday afternoon last, two little girls, children of labouring people at Ware, went to Hertford. In crossing the plank bridge over the river Lee, leading from Ford ham's Mill towards Hertford, they both fell into the water, closely linked together, and were drifted down the stream for many yards. Providentially, very shortly after the accident occurred, a neighbour passing by . . observed a human face floating on the water, and im mediately gave the alarm, which brought several men to the spot. Whilst they were debating what to do (for the water was deep), a spirited young man threw off his coat, plunged into the water, swam to the body, and with considerable difficulty succeeded in tescuing the dear children from a watery wave. We under stand that a respectable Medical Gentleman of Ware has engaged to apply to the Humane Society for the re• munetation usually granted in such cases. Both the children are happily now doing well. The great•grand-daughter of Daniel de Foe, the author of Robinson Criaoe, is a supplicant of the Na• tional Benevolent Institution, in Ureat Russell-street. Though afflicted with rheumatic gout, she supported herself with industry ; but owing to the loss of her lit tle property by fire in 1816, her advanced age, being nearly 70, and increasing infirmities, she has been 'e duced to the greatest distress. Daniel de Foe's father was by trade a butcher, but the son exhibited an early taste for literature, and his works are well known to the world. In 1702, he was convicte.l of a libel, and sentenced to a fine, implisonment, and the pillory. But far from being ashamed of his fate, he wrote " A Hymn to the Pillory." The Earl of Oxford's influence liberated him before the expiration of his sentence. He died OR the 16th April, 1731, in the parish of St. Giles, Cripplegate, leaving behind him a widow and. seve ral children. ACCIDENT AND SINGULAR PR EsEavAnoN.---Lately, as a Gentleman Was driving . his gig past the Arcade, at Cheltenham, his attention being suddenly directed to an object on the foot-path, his horse threw down a very interesting girl, the daughter of General DARLING, and before the driver was aware of any accident, the wheel had passed over the child's back. The gig immediately stopped, and Mr. SPINNEY, director of the Gas Works, who was passing at the moment, caught the child in his arms, and carried her to the shop of Mr. Moss, chymist, by whom the promptest means were adopted for affording relief to the sufferer, and it was imam diately ascertained that no material injury was sus tained. The child, although exceedingly alarmed, on being raised from the ground, did not afterwards com plain of much pain, except in the head, which the horse must have struck with violence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MANSION-HOUSE. Coaxes or Folam.—Yesterday, a young man named J.Pennat, was brought before the Loan Mason, charged with having uttered a forged cheque on Sir John Perring and Co. for 2611. les. The prisoner is the same person who, about six weeks ago, was brought•before Alderman Walthman, on suspicion of having forged a cheque for 2001. in the name of his former master, Mr. Williams, tea-broker, of Jewry-street, upon the house of Mr. Williams, of Birchin-lane. In that case the cheque was regularly uttered, and the money obtained; but the prisoner was discharged, there being nobody in the banking-house who could identify him. Mr. Oliver Vine, one of the clerks to the firm of Peering and Co. stated, that on Saturday afternoon, about three o'clock, the prisoner came into the banking-house and presented a cheque for 261/. 18s. signed with the names of Messrs. Capper and Stephens. Witness had some doubt of the genuineness of the signature; but as the firm was one of great respectability, he hesitated in questioning it, and entered the cheque for the purpose of going through the process of cashing it. lie sheared it,however, to another clerk for his opinion, and was told by him that it was all right. Witness then gave the prisoner 2601. but before he gave him the odd money, the clerk who had just given a favourable opinion as to the cheque, suggested that it would be prudent to inquire into its correctness. Witness then asked the prisoner, whether he had received' the cheque from Messrs. Capper? He replied that he had not; but that he had received it from Mr. Purdie, of the Commercial Sale Rooms. Wit new requested that one of the other clerks would go to Messrs. Capper, to make the necessary inquiries on the subject. In a Few minutes after the cheque had been taken off to Messrs. Capper's house, the prisoner, whom the witness permitted to remain by the counter with the money in his hand from a feeling of delicacy, ob served that there was something odd about the cheque, and that he was out of employment. He proceeded to make some further observations, but the witness did not now remember them accu rately. However, he told the prisoner that be might as well give back the money and step into a private room. This the prisoner immediately did. When in the room, apparently as if in continua tion of-the previous conversation, he said that he was out of place, and had given the porter of the Royal Exchange a shilling to stick up a notice for him for a place; that whilst he was superintending this operation, a person of very respectable appearance came up to him, and asked him whether he wanted employment? that he re plied in the affirmative, and was then taken to the New York Cof tee-house by the Gentleman, who gave him the cheque, and ap pointed to wait there until he should return. When the prisoner was asked by witness where he had lived? he replied that he had been in the service of Mr. Williams, of Jewry-street, where some thing very unpleasant had taken place respecting a cheque for two hundred pounds, which had been improperly paid by Messrs.Wil. Hams, of Birchit-line: Witness said he remembered the circum stance. At this Moment the clerk who had been sent to Messrs. Capper, returned, with one of the partners of the firm, who, in the prisoner's presence, declared the signature to be a forgery. The pri soner then urged the necessity of sending somebody to the New York Coffee-house, as the person tvho had given hint the cheque would entertain sorfte suspicions, front the lapse of tithe that had taken place, and probably leave the place. Ile added, that a person who was sitting in the box at the same time could probably corroborate his statement if he were sought for in time. The witness did not send any one, or pay immediate attention to this request, but klerdsfield, the officer, was sent for, and he went with the prisdnek to the New York Coffee-house, but no one was found there of the description mentioned by the prisoner. One of the firm of Capper and Co. came forward to prove the signature to be a forgery, but— Mr. Humphries, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, objected to his evidence on this point, and the objection.is held good. The prisoner was remanded until legal proof of the forgery shall be given. lir. Humphries said, he expected to atcount satisfactorily for the prisoner's posseash.n of the cheque. 'iilii GuILDIIALL. Testerday, Thomas Cooper and John Cindy were 'charged with fe lony.— Mr. Shepperson, of No. '27, Cheapside, a wholesale linen• draper, stated that the prisoner Cooper is a porter in his employ.. mein ; he suspected that he was robbing him. Ile had an inter view with one of the Mansion House officers, to whom he commu nicated his 4ispicinsig, and they resolved to watch him closely ; that morning, the prisoner Curdy was caught by the t fficer in the act of taking away some pieces of rough brown holland. Marchant, the officer, stated that on Wednesday morn ing, about seven o'clock, he saw the prisoner Cordy go into Mr. Shepperson's shop with a large bag on his shoulder. He stopped him in Noble -street, and took the hag from him, which contained the property now produced. Ile took the prisoner into custody. The prosecutor swore to the property. Alderman BIRCH said there was a clear case against Cordy, but with respect to Cooper, who was the most suspected, there was not an iota of evidence to affect him. It' Mr. Shepperson thought that he could implicate Cooper in this affair, he would remand him fora future hearing. Mr. Sheppt non was positive that he could bring forward evi dence to identify Cooper with this transaction.—The prisoners were accordingly remanded. Tuesday, Thomas Stephens was charged with a violent amok on one Mrs. Mary Stills. Mrs. Stills •tared tl.at the defendant and his wife wPre formerly lodgers of her's, tvit that in consetpence of the frequent disturbances between them she gave them warning to quit. They did so, but owed her 154. for their lodgings. On Saturday last she went to Fell-street, where they at present lodge, to obtain her money. Having knocked at the door, it was opened by the defendant. She told hint that she came for her money. Ile told her tbAt she should not be coming to bully him for money. She remonstrated ; but in stead of listening to her, he gave her a violent blow on the side of the head, which caused the blood to flow. He kicked her, and put her out into the street. The defendant said that the complainant came for the money, but she called him a swindler, and all sorts of bad names. She hit him over the face and arms with her pattens and bruised him severely, and in throwing out his hands to protect himself, he hit her in the face. She became so violent that he put her out of doors. Alderman Cox said, that as there were faults on both sides, be should not interfere ; the Sessions were open to them both; bey might mutually indict each other.—After this the parties retired. BOW-STREET. A respectable young man, named Russell, was charged by his late master, Mr. Russell, of Long-acre, with felony.—The accused bad formerly lilted the situation of collecting clerk in Mr. Russell's house, who carried on the business of a linen-draper, and dealt upon what is termed the tally system. Mr. Russell had, on seve ral occasions, missed goods, but he could not charge any one with the robbery. It chanced that Mr. Russell visited a Lady with whom the accused was on terms of intimacy, and he discovered that her slays bore his private mark ; he directly concluded that the accused must haie presented them to her, and having procured the assistance of an officer, he had her searched, but to his utter asto nishment both the officer and girl denied that she had such stays on her person as Mr. Russell declared he had seen.—Mr. Russell, however, said that the accused was upon most intimate terms with the female, and even went so far as to pay her three guineas per week for her subsistence. He suggested that probably something might be elicited if his lodgings were searched; thither an officer was immediately dispatched, and he returned with forty-one so vereigns, some L 0. U.'s. a banker's cheque, and a piece of shirt ing, and other minor articles. They were all shewn to Mr. Rus sell, who was unable to identify them as his property; but he was inclined to think that the forty-one sovereigns were the produce of the robberies that bad been committed upon him. The accused, who was provided with the assistance of Mr. Har mer, said that thirty-three of the sovereigns be had received a short time before from Mr. Russell, for wages, and the other part was the remainder of a cheque of XIS. The I. 0. U.'s, &es were his own property. Mr. HALLS said be could not think of Mr. Russell demanding , the money, and there being no proof of identity of the property, the accused was discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PATENT STKAM•WASHING Ccatrasr.—A Doctor of Medicine, re siding at the West-end of the town, yesterday came before the Magistrate, Mr. Dims, and complained of what he conceived to be nothing less than a glaring fraud. He produced a printed circular letter, emblazoned on the first page with the King's Arms,which had been addressed to bins by the Steam-washing Company, duplicates of which had, he understood, been pretty generally circulated by the agents of the Compaily amongst tke Nobility and Gentry. The letter was dated from the Company's once, Chatham, and, after speaking of the superiority of Steam-wasting, undertook, upon the receipt of articles of linen, dic. to be washed, that they should be returned'within three days. Having seen his neighbours deliver ing linen to the Company's van, he directed his servant, on the I zth of October, to collect the foul linen and his daughter having taken au inventory of the same, delivered them to the *sn driver. He waited a considerable time before any of the family-linen was re turned, and then only part was brought borne ; and though sonic weeks had elapsed, and he had written two letters to the Company Upoh the subject, they Lad not eoudMeitnjed to answer either of them; he therefore bened.the in.erposition of the Magistrate. Mr. Dealt said, it was certainly very singular Lis letters had not been answered. The Doctor said, that Ms ease was not a snlit3ry instance, in which this New Company had not returned the linen they had ob tained; he knew Ladies who, like him, were kept without their linen ; and delicacy prevented their applying to a Magistrate on the subject, be, therefore, on behalf of the Ladies and the public gene. rally, had thought it his duty to prefer this cotnplaint against the. Patent Steam Company, however respectable they may be. Mr. Dirks said, that under the circumstances detailed by the ap. plicant, the withholding the linen was only a civil offence. The Doctor said, he was afraid it was, or his application have been for a search warrant. Dvea-said, that the applicant could not swear that the lira. petty bad been feloniously obtained, he had delivered it voluntarily to the parties, though it was clear it was improptrly detained, Th: however, would grant a summons against the Company, t o Ab e •:, cause why the linen was detained, and that would Live (F.t•' t opportunity of explaining their conduct publicly. —A summer : then issued, and a dory appointed for the hearing. UNION-HALL Thomas Ridgway, about 13 years of age, was charged with lat.. ing, in concert with another lad, named Palmer (since commit. i for trial), robbed Mr. Fox, a tailor, of Lambeth. It appear e d, about a week or ten days ago, Palmer, together with anuilier went into Mr. Fox's shop, under pretence of purchacitz clothes. Palmer put the shopkeeper to considerable trould, is fitting on a variety of coats ; and at length ran out of the lop,lear. ing his companion behind, who soon followed. In the course of about half an hour afterwards, a constable having met Palmer, a t some distance from where the robbery was committed, with a bun. die under his arm, took him into custody, and behaving been iden. rifted by Mr. Fox, was committed tor trial. One of the Queen. square officers having received a description of Ridgw.ty, w e nt i n ., a house in Duck-lane, Westminster, and discovered the 100 kful delinquent in the apartment of a prostitute.—The Const proceeding to search the room which was thus occupied, found mr, sabres together with some implements used by housebreakers, and also the following extraordinary letter, which was written by I%l_ mar. It waa addreised to Mary Ridgway, alias :almer, 19, Dac'i. lane, ‘Vestminster: " Dear Love—l hope you will not be affronted at my serk:ir.; you this letter, but I have done it to let you know, that I shall gu from the Surrey Watch-house to Union Hall at eleven o'clock tlus morning, and I hope you will be there. I have gone by the name of Joseph Palmer, and I hope you will not fail to come. If you should not see me before my hearing, you can ask for me in my own name. Bring me victuals, and drink, and monry, and I will make it up to you the next time I touch the swag. Tell Tom that the Officers are after him ; but tell 'aim that he has no need to be afraid. I have no more to say at present, but with you well ar.i good health; and as it is not in my power to help you now, I to see you as soon as possible. I still remain your affectionate loci r, " J. PALMER." The Maeurreare was of opinion, from this epistle, that the pr:. soner was concerned in the robbery, and remanded him for Mr. Fox's attendance. M.

The average of the twelve maritime districts for Bar ley and Oats during the last six week!, being below the import price, the ports are closed against the latter:l-- tide, and remain shut against the former. Monday, the anniversary of St. Cecilia was cele.6 brated in Canterbury, by the Members of the Catch Club, with several of their friends, dining together at the Club-room, Pi ince of Orange. The Chair was ably filled by the worthy President (C.DoLman, E,q.) After dinner Aon Aobis Domine was sung by the Gen tlemen of the orchestra with great effect. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given, interspersed with a variety of excellent songs and glees, and the remain der of the day was spent with that harmony and unani mity which made it truly the " Feast of reason and the flow of soul." During the past summer, a grand-daughter of the celebrated Smeaton, the at chitect who erected the Ed dystone Light-house, visited that spot in the Bu y revenue cutter. The curiosity of the Lady was amply , rewarded, as the weather being fine, boats could ap proach the rocks : she in consequence landed, and tra versed that building which hes grandsire had so firmly and with so great a credit to hinbelt, erected nearly 6 years ago. She expressed her surprise and astonish ment at its construction, and of its standing the grew force of the mighty waters, which had pressed on it. Mr. Smeaton was employed by the recommendation of the Earl of Macclesfield, then President of the Royal Society, to erect this Light-house, it, being destroyed by fire in December 1755. He completed the arduous un dertaking, October 9th, 1759, being three years, nine weeks, and three days, after he began the work ; though the whole period of actual working upon the rock, was only 111 days and 10 hours. Mr; Smeaton gives the account of the conclusion of this structure in these words This day, (Oct. 9, 1759) after innumerable difficulties and dangen t a hippy period was put to this undertaking, without the loss of life or limb to any one concerned in the work."
