Of the martyrs who died on thy shores Burning Aide ! another we wail— Wen the bird o'er thy deserts that soars, Imbibes poison which taints every pie! There was oar whom his worth had made great... Of whom Britain was proud —yet he deeps On the shores; thy fell breath was his fate; And Enterprise falters and weeps! Far away from the land of his siren— Far distant from those whoa his heart Adm.'d with affection's pure fires, Damian fell 'neath death's poisonous dart! Like the star of the desert he shone, But too soon was his brightness o'eresat-•• 'Torn the beam of the glow-worm alone, It glued, dassi'd, beam'd brightly, and pass , dl Bad he liv'd, he had shone like the sus, In climates more kindly than those Where his race so untimely was run The land of oppression and woes! When the cold dews of death batb'd his cheek, When his eye became glassy and dim; When the languid frame, shatter'd and weak, Refued power to the intrepid limb; He bad none whom be Wed by his side... No brother—no wife to console— Like a spar on the ocean's vast dde, He pasted on to Eternity's goal ! The sand showers that sweep o'er his grave, The wind that blowsier his cold bed, The waters that sullenly lave 'Gaunt the shore where reposes his head, Breathe a requiem to him we lament.

The Arch of Constantine—so called from its being a fac-simile of the one at Rome, will be thrown open to morrow, and exhibit its magnificent portals by the re moval of the wooden paling whickfor the last two years, has blocked up the highway. Communicating with a new road to Cunstituion•hill are erected very beautiful iron gates; the foot-path and drive were covered yester day with very fine gravel. The old road is to be broken up and taken into the Green Pa►k; the iron railing is now been removed for that purpose. These are very handsome apartments formed under the Triumphal Arch for the family of the keeper of the gates, who was an old and faithful servant of the Ranger, Lord Sydney. The arch is the entrance to the grounds of the King's Palaces the gates to the left are for the public. Opposite stands Aspley House, which will speedily assume an imposing appearance. The ground granted to the Duke of Wellington is now- being built upon: alieady the elevation gives the spectator an idea of what is intended to be done. Massive blocks of Portland stone are appropriated to form a wing,and already bare taken an elevation of 20 feet. The house will be cased with the same material, and then it will be in unison with the structures around, and impart an air of gran deur to the principal entrance to the metropolis. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sur. 22. John Farebrother, lately in business as a publican, was brought up on his petition to be discharged, and was opposed by Mr. Cooei r on behalf of Messrs. Goding and Broadwood, the ale brewers; and by Mr. BAuty, for Neut.. Rickards, the distillers. in Piccadilly. The insoles:at was questioned by Mr. Comm, and said that he was arrested on the 28th of June, the same day that he left the Leopard public-house. The house was bold for 3001. and the stock and fixtures for about 2501. He paid Reid and Co. the sum of 2504 and all the rest to other persons, on the same day. Mews. Goding and Brosrdwood's clerk asked him for some money. He did not say be would see him cursed be fore he would give him any. He knew Martin Brown, who- %vac and is foreman to the gas factory in the City. road. Paid him two hundred pounds the same day— could not 'my at what time, to an'hour—it was in the kitchen—be gave him a receipt for it.—(The receipt was here mad).—Paid him in notes--souldnot say what notes—none less than fives. Brown bad lent him 124 i. to go into the house about the 24th ref October, 1827. It was when be (insolvent) lived in Backhill; nobody else was present ; gave him no acknowledgment' for it ; did not insert his residence in his sebedole, because he did not think it necessary. Here the COMMISSIONS* said the insolvent must be remanded, in order to make a fresh advertisement with the insertion of bis residence. t, f•t Mr. Coosa said, there being very great doubt whe ther this money was ever advanced, it would be sees• airy to impound the receipt produced to prove the ce payment. Mr. Pos.Loce, who appeared for the insolvent. ad. mined theexamination could not now be further put. sued, and the case was adjourned accordingly. Accounts from Tangier state that the English vessels taken by the Moorish cruisers have been all released. Two English vessels have been taken in the Gat of Gibraltar by a latten-rigged ship, and the consort of the pirate was in chase of two others.

The stack was completely hollowed out, and nearly the whole of the gra in dial oyed by the vermin ; what remained was unfit' for use. • Friday last, Parlane Macfarlane, 'labourer at Bridge of Turk, parish of. Callender, met with his death in the following simple and singular manner:-He had been employed warping a fence of oaken sticklarotind the boundaries of a quantity of wood cut lately in the neigh: heurhood; the sticks being wet and slippery; one of them, the strongest and the last that was to be laid, having slipped fain the stake over which the end of it was. lapped, it sprung; and recoiling with great f. , rce, struck the man under the ry.se.

I POLICE INTELLIGENCE. mA NM/ N- HOUSIL • Yesterday a botcher, named Aresenssos, who was on flatorday charged, before Alderman VIIIIMILZIO, wish, hiving possessed him self improperly of a horse and itol. note, by giving in exchange for them an unsound horse. was brought up.for a second elm:sista:too. The accuser was a Gentleman named Le Phone, and from his statement, and the statement of other persons, it appeared that the bargain was not to conclude until a trial had been taken for one week. Before the end of the week it was found that the defend ant's horse was greatly diseased, but neither the horse of the eons • • plainant nor his money was fonbcoming. , Mr. Hobler..jun. urged the committal of the defendant, and, in stanced the ease of Major Semple, who was convicted for having sold a horse which be bad hired, even though the time within. which he was to return it had not expired ; from which be argued that the defendant, having converted to his own use and refused to , return the horse given him in exchange by Mr. Le Piastre. before the expiration of the week allowed Mr. Le Plaster fur trial of the defendant's horse, and within which he was at liberty to annul or confirm the bargain, was a fraudident. conversion. Sir Jose Peerage paid, it appeared to him that the matter of complaint wise bread' of contract, for which the party must seek his remedy by civil action..-. The defendant was then discharged. Doctor Cowie M.dnse, Surgeon-General in the Colombian service, appeared to answer the complaint of Mrs. Illsont, the widow of Colonel Blom, of the same service.--Mr. Wooller appeared to support the charge, and Mr. Nobler, jun. acted for the defence. Mrs. Klima stated, that her husband bad gout, out to join the Colombians in their struggle for freedom in let% and that lw died to the command of a regiment in the scribe of Colombia. The Government, in acknowledgment of the Colonel's distinguished services, tnadeher a gift, at his decease, of hoods to the amount of 5,0001. In the betinning of last year, Doctor. Mayne returned to this country from Columbia, and called of her. and introduced him. self as a friend of h s r hus band, for whose memory be professed to entertain the very highest respect. la the course of one of his visits, he made inquiry respecting the bonds she had received from the Colombian .Government. She told him that she had been un der the necessity of disposing of a part of the property for the sup. port of her tamely, and that she intended to dispOse of the remain der, amounting to 3,5001. Dr. Blayoe .urged her not * sell the bonds, as they would certainly rise in value, and ,offered her any pecuniary assistance she might st..ni in nerd of, and also to take the bonds into safe kettpipg. She &wormed him that the bond. were in the posseasion of Mr. Palmer, of Gray's Inn, to whom she was indebted in the sum of 106/. without discharging which she mid not think of asking for them. Dr. Blayoe gave her the motley to pay Mr. Palmer, who returned the, hoods, which thus got.into the hands of the Do ctor. The Dicier had since occasionally advanced to her small sums of money. Susie time ago she applied to Dr. Mayne for the bonds, and was informed by him that they were in the possession of Mr. Watts, of Cushion-coo*. She applied to Mr. Watts, who iuformrd her that he had no more thau 1,3001. of the bonds, on which he had advauct:d 2201. Dr. Mayne had since acknowledged.tha; the 1,0001, was mortgaged to Mr. Bennie. Mrs. Eissim's son was examined in corroboration of part of his mother's evidence. lie stated that be had banded the hoods to Dr. Mayne's brother for him, and the Doctor had afterwards ad nutted that he hid received them.. Dir. Wooller, on this evidence, urged that Dr. Mayne had no right to mortgage or dispose ,of the bonds without Mrs. lilsom's consent, and that his doing so was a conversion for which he ought to be made responsible. Mr. Hobler, jun. on the part of the defendant, stated that be had advanced and become responsible for sums amounting to up wards of 3001. for Mrs. Elsom, on the security of the bonds, and if those sums were repaid him, the bonds should be immediately restored. _ Sir J. Ptaatuo appeared unwilling to decide without affording the parties an opportutsit7 of coming to an amicable arrangement, and adjourned the case fur a week. GUILDHALL Two fresh complainants;g7dO;tlisileway, the Servants Once keeper, on Ludgate•bill, appeared betoreSir P. LAURIE yesterday.

Nothing of the sort was given' them to do, and they had not beep able to get their secuntrasuney back. Sir Pam recommended them to concert together the best maws of opposing his release under the Insolvent Act, MA It L BO ROU G 111.4 T R REY.

As soon as a trm wailer appears among them, a body of them advance dadeing towards him, clothed in the lightest manner, and invite him, with the most volOptuoes gesture and motions, into their houses. This does not can until he gives one of them the preference, ad accompanies her into her dwelling, when new mean of feasting commence, which, perhaps—as they often des—last several days. All who are willing to pass a pleasant season with them are received with* —the laws of hospitality are performed in the moot extended sense, and with the greatest susitiete; but the traveller who is content with merely satisfying his mi. osity, and is unwilling to join in the amusements of the place, or to take the ton of the company, is treated is the grossest manner, and is driven out of the place, wit► thegreatest insults being heaped on him. The Den Bey chooses from the Bulgarian women of Madan his Gavindas (a body of dancing girls, who perform the most lascivious dances), who not only serve for the di. versions of their lord, but also are completely armed and serve as a body guard, and in time of peace are provided with the swiftest war horses. The coloniits of Madera refuse to admit any woman among them, to enjoy the privileges of the place, who is either old or ugly ; there appears to have been a society similar to the present at this place at a very remote period: this, perhaps, has given rise to the various and wonderful stories of the ancient Amazons. • MADRAS MARRIAGE AND DEATH& MARRIED. , At Madras, on the 15th April, W.
