• IPit TO A SPRIG OF HEATH. BY MRS. GRANT. Flower of the waste ! the heath fowl shuns For thee the brake and tangled wood— To thy protecting shade she rims, Thy tender buds supply her food ; Der young forsake her downy plumes To rest upon thy opening blooms! Flower of the desert though thou art ! The deer that range the mountain free, The graceful doe, the stately hart, Their food and shelter seek from thee ; The bee thy earliest blossom greeti, And draws from thee her choicest sweets! Gem of the heath! whose modest bloom Sheds beauty o'er the lonely moor; Though thou dispense no rich perfume, Nor yet with splendid tints allure, Both Valour's crest and Beauty's bower, Oft bast thou circled, a favourite flower! Flower of the wild! whose purple glow Adorns the dusky mountain's side, Not the gay hues of Iris' bow, Nor garden's artful, varied pride, With all it's wealth of sweets could cheer, Like thee, the hardy mountaineer ! Flower of his heart ! thy fragrance mild, Of peace and freedom seems to breathe ; To pluck thy blossoms in the wild, And deck his bonnet with the wreath, Where dwelt of old his rustic sires, Is all his simple wish requires! Flower of his dear-lov'd native land! Alas, when distant far more dear ! When he from some cold foreign strand Looks homeward through the blinding tear, Flow must his aching heart deplore That home and thee he sees no more ! LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 9. THE KING V. RICHARD STAFFORD COOKE. - --- ---- Mr. TALFORD moved that the rule be made absolute. Mr. CAMPBELL shewed cause. The rule was a very singular one. The defendant claimed to be Lord Staf ford. An indictment was prosecuted against him on this account, on the ground that the claim was calcu lated to defraud Sir George Jerningham of certain estates in the county of Stafford. The defendant pleaded in abatement that he was Baron Stafford, Lord Stafford, at the time of taking the inquisition. The rule was to quash this plea. It was not necessary to deprecate the influence of prejudice, for their Lordships would consider this question precisely as if that illus trious Nobleman, the Duke of Norfolk, were described as John Howard, Esq. If their Lordships quashed this plea, tne defendant would be deprived of his right of bringing the question before another Coux t by a writ of error. It was contended that the patent of . Peerage ought to have been set out; but there were many Peerages of which the pateuz could not be set Out. The Court of Common Pleas had refused to quash where a plea was alleged to be insensible, stating that, if it was so, it was at the defendant's peril. This was not insensible; it was in every way a good plea. The LORD CIIIEF Jus•rxeL.—We ale not called upon to find the plea good, but that there is not reason for quashing it. Messrs. Scant Err and TALFORD supported the rule. It was not a bona fide plea, but a plea tor delay. Mr. TALFORD further urged that it was a plea for the purpose of collaterally trying the question of the Peer age, while the indictment was fir outrages and for, raising money from Sir George Jerningham's tenants , under false pretences. Mr. Justice BAYLEY remarked that the plea did not set forth that he was a Peer "of Great Britain," or "of this team." Mr. CAMPBELL being called upon to shew whether there was any precedent of a Peer of this Realm being so designed, referred to the mention of Lord Lovell, in the Sth of Henry the Sixth. Mr. Justice Houtoxo read an authority to shew that Acts of Attainder were private Acts. Mr. Justice BEST referred to a case, in which it was held that it was necessary to have described a Lord" as " a Baron of Parliament." Mr. CAMPBELL—Yes, my Lord, because he might be a Lord of the l'i ivy Council, or Lord Mayor of London —(A laugh ).—But this was not a demurrer; and their Lordships would not investigate this point upon a mo tion to quash a plea. The LOUD CHIEF JUSTICE—No, certainly. The Court cannot quash the plea.— liule discharged. COURT' OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 9. 1 ILUBTELL V. BEAUMONT. Mr. Justice Pent: read his notes of this trial. It will be recollected that it was an action brought by Mr. Thomas Thurtell against Mr. Barber Beaumont, as Managing Director of the County Fire-office, upon a po licy of insurance, to recover the amoont of certain goods alleged to have been destroyed by fire in Wading street, in the month of January, ISQ3. The principal witness upon that occasion was John Thurtell, who afterwards acquired such unf ortunate notor i et y, an d upon his evidence, and that of other witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages 1,9001. (the full sum claimed.) On the 10th of November last, Mr. Serjeant 'faddy moved fora rule to spew cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial granted, on three grounds—first, a misdirection to the Jury by the Learned Judge; and secondly, that a bill for a conspiracy to defraud the County Fire-office had been found by the G and Jury of Middlesex against the two Thurtells, and two of the other witnesses in the case. 'The Court refused the motion on both these grounds; but granted it on a third ground; namely, that it ap peared by the affidavit of James Wrigglesworth, that a quantity of the goods stated to have been in the ware house at the time of the tire, had been ,old at various times on and subsequently to the 22d of December, 1822, by Juhn Thurtell and J. B. Snowden, to Messrs. Margraves, of Wood-street, at a price twenty per cent. less than their first cost ; and ty an affidavit of Joseph Hunt, that in a conversamn with John Thurtell, the latter stated in substance that the premises had been wilfully set on fire. Previously to the arguments of Counsel for and against the Rule, the affidavits on both sides were or dered to bd read by the officer of the Court. Of those for the defendant the most material were the affidavits above alluded to, together with that of a person named Robinson, who liven opposite to the premyse% and swo re that he could see the plaintiff's rooms when the premises were on fire, and that they were quite empty. Tire;e were met on the part of the plaintiff by numerous affi davits, the most important of which were those of Messrs. Margraves, and some of their servants, and of J. B. Snowden, which contradicted the allegations con tained in Wrigglesworth's affidavit. They were also denied in the affidavit of the late John Murrell ; as were also the facts stated by Hunt. The affidavit of Thomas Thurtell alleged, that when he taxed Hunt in his brother's presence at Hertford with having made that statement, he (Hunt) burst into tears, begged to be for given, and said that he had only done it to try to save himself.- —The reading of the affidavits occupied the Court to the hour of its rising. The case will be re sumed to-morrow. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEB. 9. William Dove was oppodby Mr. POLLOCK, on be half of James Butler. The insolvent was a silk manu facturer, in Spitalfields, where his opposing creditor keeps a public-house, and also deals in silk. It appeared by the evidence, that the insolvent having been arrested at Mr. Butler's suit, for a disputed debt of 351. in Ad. gust last, gave bail, and immediately sold out 3001. stock he possessed in the Three per Cents, and paid all his other creditors, one of whom was a tailor, who also kept a grocer's shop, to whom the insolvent stated he paid a debt of 1031. P2s. 10%d. due to him for tea and sugar. The insolvent some time after called on Mr. Butler, and told him he had sold out his stock and paid all his other debts, and had 100/. left, with which he would go to jail and live jolly.—The COURT ad journed the case, and directed the insolvent to produce the papers relative to the sale of his stock, and the tailor and grocer to whom he paid the bill. VACCINATION. It appears from the Reports of the National Vaccine Board to the Right Hon. ROBERT PEEL, that the ap plications for lymph have been more than usually nu merous—a proof that the copfidence of the world in vaccination is increasing, particularly since the Parlia mentary establishment, where the inoculating matter is always to be procured. Since the last Report, lymph had been dispatched to the East and \Vest Indies, to Ceylon, to the Cape of Good Hope, the Island of Mau ritius, the coast of Africa, New South Wales, and to France and Italy, &c. The Report then states, that it had been distributed in this kingdom with great suc cess, " for the small-pox has prevailed as an epidemic with more than ordinary malignity in vat ious parts of this island lately, and has committed great ravages in those districts where it found victims unpt otected against it by a previous process. The advantages of vaccina tion in places subject to those severe visitations have been confessedly decisive and remarkable; those who had used this resource being observed to remain gene rally unhurt in the midst of danger ; and if there were any whom the contagion was able to infect, these were remarked, almost universally, to have the disease in that mitigated form which is not attended with danger." The total number vaccinated from 1818 to 1822, in the United Kingdom (exceptin the capital) is 327,521, and the total by the stationary vaccinators for the same time, 31,275. In 1821 there were 90,000 persons vac cinated in Ceylon ; '20,149 in the Presidency of Fort William; and 22,478 in that of Bombay. IRISH MINES A D COLLIERIES. A Meeting was held on Thursday, at the Chamber of Commerce, Dublin, for considering the propriety of forming a Joint Stock Company to work the Mines of Ireland. A Committee of twenty-one Members was appointed, and it was resolved to open a subscription for Four Thousand Shares at 251. each, or to raise a Capital of 100,0001. for the proposed object. The Dublin Journal justly remarks on this subject—" We have always thought that the improvement of Ireland must proceed from the energies of the people them selves, and not through Parliamentary grants. It has been too much the practice to rely solely on the assist ance of Government for the execution of important works, and public money has not been generally ap plied w ith that judicious economy which is requisite to ensure success and profit. Every member of a Joint Stock Company has a direct interest in the proper ap plication of the funds, and by each watching the con duct of the other, there is little chance of embezzlement or fraud without immediate detection and exposure.— The mineral resources of Ireland are probably equal to those of almost any country in Europe, but they have not been called forth by any well-digested plan of ope rations. Individual means are not equal to the magni tude of the undertaking, and it is only through the power of combination that the Mines of Ireland can be wrought with advantage." !d, b' Monday, a dress-maker of Brighton was fines, oy u. Bench of Magistrates, £5. 12s. for having in her pos. session some French silk, belonging to a Lady of fashion, from whom she had directions to make it into a dress. The body of an elderly man was found in Beverley Beck, on Wednesday morning, and on inquiry proved to be that of a person named Jackson, of Soutliburn, near 1)d/field, who, on his return from Hull, the pre ceding evening, is supposed to have missed his road and fallen in. An Inquest was held yesterday on the body of Jane Rooke, late servant to Mr. Abrahams, in lioundsditch, who fell or jumped from the window of her master's house ; when J. Biven, a watchman, deposed, that on Saturday morning he heard a scream of" Thieves! Fire," &c. and saw the deceased sitting on, or leaning from the fourth story window of Mr. Abrahams' house. She called for a ladder. Witness begged her to keep in, as he saw no danger. She continued to cry " Fire !" and call for a ladder ; the patrol ran and got a ladder, but she fell before it arrived. Witness picked her up and carried her to Mr. Bater's house, where he left her. She fell upon her head, and never spoke after; she had night clothes and black stockings on. Several other witnesses were called, after which the Jury returned a verdict that—The deceased came to her death in consequence of having attempted to escape out of a window in her master's house, in her alarm, fearing that she would be either burned or murdered. FIRE AT LEEDS.—Friday morning last, about a quar ter past three o'clock, the extensive premises of Messrs. Stirk and Horsfield, iron-foanders and machine-makers, in York -street, Leeds, were discovered to be on fire, and from the progress which the flames had then made, in a very short time there remained nothing but the ex terior walls. It was with great difficulty, and required all the exertions of the firemen, and of the inhabitants who had collected on the occasion, to preserve the con tiguous buildings, which contained much valuable ma chinery, which at one time were in flames. The da mage must amount to several thousand pounds.—Only ,the building was insured; POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • BOW-STREET. Annamous Rosotar.—Yesterday a respectably dressed young man, who stated his name to be John Adams Henley, was brought before Sir It BLIWIE, charged with stealing a watch and appendages, the property of Mr. Tuck, a salesman in Castle-street, Leicester 'Team—The prisoner, about eight o'clock on Saturday evening, went Into Mr. Tuck's shop, and said he wanted to purchase a , watch. One which he pointed out in the window was shewn to him, and the price being fixed, he said he would get a friend who was a better judge than himself, to call and look at the watch, and if he approved of it, the purchase should he completed. In about an hour and a half he called again, and asked if his friend had been there, and being informed in the negative, he requested to look again at the watch. While pretending to examine one of the springs, he suddenly threw a quantity of snuff in Mr. 'l'uck's face, and raa away with the watch.—He was fully committed to Newgate. HATTON-GARDEN. 117liana Harris, a man of colour, a notorious offender, was brought up in tha custody of Thompson, the constable, charged with being concerned in a most daring robbery. Mr. Jades, a jeweller, stated that about three weeks ago, as he was returning home about eleven o'clock, he went into the Coopers' Arms, Smithfield, to take a glass at the bar, and while doing so, four fellows rushed in (of whom the prisoner was one) and snatched his gold watch out of his pocket. Every exertion had been made to discover them, but without success, until Sunday night, when Mr. Jades met the prisoner in Old-street, St. Luke's, and gave him into custody. As Thompson had got some information respecting the party, the prisoner was remanded until Saturday. M A RLBOROUG H-STR E ET. A person of genteel exterior in figure and dress, and whose manners were mild and respectful, was yesterday brought from St. James's watch-house upon the following charge : A constable stated that about two o clock on Sunday, he was passing through the Regent's Circus, he saw this person on Ifs knees in an attitude of prayer, with a crowd of persons round him, to whom, however, he paid net the slightest attention, and tbinkirg him an impostor wishing to obtain money by his proceeding, he thought it his duty to convey him to the watch house. On searching him h. found the papers now produced. These papers were in tirely confined to the person's private affairs, but one was a letter signed Lieut. Price, addressed to a banking-house in the City. Mr. Roe, the Magistrate, asked the prisoner at the bar if that was his name? Ile replied that he was a Lieutenant in the 57th Regi ment of Foot, now at Gibraltar, but in consequence of a Divine inspiration, which he received on the Ist of November, 1821, he resigned his commis:4mi for the purpose of devoting himself entirely to the mission on which he has been sent by Gon ALMIGHTY. Mr. Roe asked hint how long he had been in London, and where he had come from? lie replied he was only a few days in town, and had come front Ireland, of which country he is a native, and he landed at Holyhead about ten days ago. Mr. Boa inquired what his busi ness in England might be? Ile said that he had two objects in view; one was to sell out some property in the funds belonging to his wife ; but his great and paramount object was to communicate to the Peo ple of England an extraordinary and wonderful miracle, and he did not feel himself at liberty to return home without doing so. Mr. Roz said that he had not the least doubt but his (Mr. Price's) motives were the very best, and that he had the spiritual interest of the English people in view ; but there was a law which prohibits persons front collecting crowds in the public streets, as he had dune. And although he (Mr. Roe) felt no inclination to put that law in force in the present instance, yet he would strongly advise Mr. Price to return to his friends in Ireland as soon as possible, after he had settled his private affairs in London. Ilis Worship then or dered his papers to be returned to Mr. Price, who bowed and re tired, saying that he should take the Magistrate's advice. This unfortunate Gentleman is of a most respectable family in the south of Ireland, who possess considerable property, as does Mr. Price himself. But unhappily within a few years he has been seriously affected on the subject of religion; and it well-known in Dublin for those prostrations in the public streets. His attitude of adoration is very extraordinary : he kneels, down in the face of the sun, which he steadfastly fixes his eyes on, and gradually bends his body backwards until the back of his head tobches the ground.— • He remains in that position some minutes with his bands clasped, and directed towards the sun. He then, after repeating a grayer, rises and walks away, without taking the least notice of the per sons around him. UNION-HALL. CuAnne or MURDER.—A powerful-looking man, named Charles Jahns" about twenty-eight years of age, who has been in the em ployment of Archibald Harris, Esq. as a day labourer, was brought before R. J. CHAMBERS and L. B. /Want, Esqrs. charged with the murder of James Richardson, a fellow-labourer, on the .29th of June, 189.1, in the parish of Enfield, Middlesex. The Coroner's warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner was produced, by which it appeared that Charles Johnson was found Guilty on the Inquest for the wilful murder of James Richardson, by nearly se vering the unfortunate deceased's thigh from his body with a mower's scythe. The prisoner was disguised in sailor's clothes at the time of his apprehension. The circumstances of the case were fully detailed at the time. The man was not taken till Saturday last. Mr. CHAMBERS, after a long examination, remanded the prisoner; and directed that Mr. Sawyer, the Solicitor to the parish of Enfield, might be apprised of the apprehension of Johnson, and that Gentleman would have an opportunity of collecting the rest of the evidence against the pri soner by the next examination. SPORTING INTALLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, FEB. 9. The Subscription Room was very respectably and numerously attended, but the betting was by no means proportionably brisk. The alterations were very great on the Derby, and several changes took place on the St. Leger. The Riddlesworth and Oaks experi enced little or no difference.

Mr. Thomas Lloyd, the celebrated pedestrian, started on Thurs day, at one o'clock, to go on foot from the George, Wolverhamp ton, to London, a distance of it miles in 50 successive hours. This is a greater match than was ever performed in England, and eclipses the most celebrated pedestrians of the day. His first halt was at Birmingham, 15 miles, which he reached at four o'clock, and rested five minutes; he proceeded on to Coventry, 54 miles in seven hours, when he ate part of a fowl, and appeared fresh and well; at half-past eleven he arrived at Daventry, 55 miles, and rested one hour, having performed the above distance in ten hours and a half ; he travelled at a sharp pace during the night, being sup plied by his backer, who accompanied the umpire, with small par tions of gin and gingerbread. He reached Stoney Stratford to breakfast, and being much fatigued, from the heaviness of the roads I and the steep hills, again rested for a short time ; and on starting again found it impossible to proceed above three miles and three quarters in an hour. He passed through St. Alban's at one o'clock on ctiday, gradually mending hi s p ace as b e re.:ched t!i. Metropo lis, the roads being much better, and arrived at the Melt Horse, Aldersgate-street, ten minutes before seven, NV inilinz by ten minutes. —lt was for 200 sovereigns, and the pedestrian will :ma himself fur 100 to perturni the saute again. TROTTING MATCH. Captain Henderson's match, which.excited much attention, took place yesterday, at Halstead, Herts, over a two-mile piece ,sf ground, for 300 sovereigns. The match was, to trot sixteen miles i-a one hour. and to carry 9st. which was done in S 9 minutes 30 se conds. It was altogether a fine race. and won hardly. The hurls broke into a gallop in the sevnth mile only. PRICES OF RACE-HORSES. Within the few last years, perhaps somewhere about two thou sand pounds has been the maximum for the reputed best colt rf this year. Five thousand guineas were offered and refused for !I n celebrated Smolensk°, before he went to Epsom. In the Nev.. market Octeher Meeting, 1805, a bay colt by Pinner sold for 15,000 guineas. Also a chesnut two-year-old colt by Ileningbrou2h, a hay two-year-old colt by Volunteer, and the brown three.y e z r . old filly, Orange Girl, by Sir Peter, each for a like sum. l Ar d Fitzwilliam refused 3,000 guineas for Sir Paul, by Sir Peter, cot o' l'earl, by Tandem. About half a century since, Lotd Grosvea m . offered Mr. Pig'..4t 10,000 guineas fil. Shark, as the horse va t • leading off the Course at Newtnarker, to be taken out of training It was reported that (Melly refused nearly double the sum fn-' Eclipse, replying to the offer, that " all Bedford Lekrel w.e114 iv, purchase Eclipse." To go half a century farther hack, a report: been handed down from father to son, that a Welsh spy/Trona% °tiered the Duke of Devonshire, for Flying Childers, the ::::rte weight in crowns and half crowns, which the Noble Duke refuted. FOX HUNTING. Of the-many excellent days that the Ainsty Fox-hounds h t iv, s h„ d that of Thursday last ought to he recorded. They found in 0 7 , r : ton Wood, run through Skelton Spring, Cnte llottse Wood. to Overton, by Rawcliffe, crossed Beaurnoties Plantations to Pi, N . ville, New Buiidinrs, New Parks, Stant n mile of Iltan‘.hy Hall, turned short back between Farling,ton and Cornbro', by Sheriff Hutton Castle, down to the bridge along the banks of the fosse, and Into view, with a pack of seventeen roupk:, close to the wooden bridge opposite Strensail. Those who :re c ptuinted with the cot n ry, and the shifty points :hat were nude, will well know how to appreciate the science of the huntsman, and the merit and condition of his hounds in killing their fin. after A run of three hittrs and twenty-five minutes, over a most c ilficalt aal intricate country. Of a very large fluid, only a few were up at tha death, among wale's were the huntsman and bath his terips. Saturday the Underbarrow Ilontris utikentielled a fine fox upon Whitbarrow, which took over Cartnicl Vsa—ran below I— returned by Linda' and \Vitherslack into Lyth—tuned towards Levens Hall, making various doubles during, the night; ard on S un _ day morning crossed Helsingtots Common into Barrowfield Woods, where it continued a few hours—from thence it ran to Cunswick— returned to Barro.vfield Wood--trok acroot Helsitigtr passed Sizergh Hall by Hawea \Wed and Heaves Lodge, throegh Beathwaite Green and Brigsteer Park—crossed fielsington har rows again—ran by Bradley-field and to Cunswick Tarn, where he was killed about two o'clock on Sunday afternoon!!! TILE RING. Friday evening last, Langan, Spring, and Reynolds, met together at Mr. Belcher's, the Castle Tavern, when, as might be exp-ctrd, a good deal of chaffing occurred. The tight and valiant Irishman declared publicly that he was not satisfird Spring could beat hirr, and he should be most happy to have :mother trial on a stage. The Champion replied, that lie was ready to fight any tnan for 500'. either on a stage or the sod, provided the stage was turfed, but he was determined not to fight for any lass sum. The host of the Castle told Spring not to value hinisOf too ntuch on retaining the championship, because he had a new one coming up from die country, who was very likely to doff him of his houonrs. We 7.7 e happy to say, that no ill-nature prevailed during these rentar::,. Langan promised game Bob Purcell to take a peep at his benefit on Tuesday next, at the Fives Court. The match between Defoe and Reuben Martin has been arrarrod for 100 sovereigns, Defoe sto 4 the favourite ; the battle to ta k e place next Tuesday five weeks.
