POETRY. FAREWELL. . Br ors LATE Da. Ham, BMW Of CaLcurra. When eyes are beaming Vint never tongue might tell, When tears are streaming From their crystal cell; When bands are linked that dread to part, And bent is met by throbbing heart, ! bitter, bitter is the smart Of them that bid farewell! When hope is chidden That fain of bliss would tell, And love forbidden In the breast to dwell When fettet'd by a viewless e.haba, We turn and gaze, and turn again, Oki death were mercy to tbe.pain Of them that bid farewell! LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S MINCH, Jan. a. CRUSitt V. GARRATT. This was an action by the plaintiff, a teacher of foreign languages, against the defendant, a schoolmaster at St. John's-wood, Mary-la-bonne, to recover the amount of a quarter's salary which the former claimed to be due to bim in respect of an engagement as teacher in the defendant's school. The ATTORNRT GRIMM. stated the plaintiff's case, and it appeared from the evidence of the witness whom he examined, that in March 1826, the Plaintiff was en gaged by the defendant as an assistant in his school, at a, salary of forty guineas per. annum. He continued in the defendant's service until the 9th of October follow ing, when, without any previous notice, he was dismissed by the defendant, who tendered him a pound for his set vices, from the end of the last preceding quarter to the time of his discharge, but refused to pay him for the entire quarter which had been broken into. It was at tempted to be proved, that it was customary between schoolmasters and their assistants, to give a quarter's notice of an intention to vacate a yearly engagement, unless any express stipulation was made to the contrary,. but the evidence failed; and it having been sworn by one of the witnesses that at the time the defendant en gaged the plaintiff, nothing was said by either party about a quarter's notice. Mr.BROUGHAM, for the defendant, submitted that the plaintiff must Lay nonsuited, as he had declared on a special contract determinable on a quarter's notice. After some observations by the ATTOBNTY GRHSRAL. one of the witnesses was recalled, and stated that when the plaintiff. was engaged by the defendant, it was stir palmed that the salary would be paid quarterly. Upon ,this evidence, The ATTORNEY GRYRRAL submitted, that there was an implied hiring for a year, and that the plaintiff was entitled to a quarter's notice. Lord *Donut:an said, there was, at all events, enough to show a hiring for a quarter, and the plaintiff would, therefore, be entitled to a quarter's notice, unless it could be shown that he was not dismissed without sufficient cruse. Mr. flaws:cam said he was content to rest the case vas that point, as he bad no doubt of being able to show that the plaintiff bad not been dismissed without cause. He then addresseh the Jury, stating, that re e s d hould prove, by tie witnes s es whom he should call, that the plaintiff, who was a person of a most irascible temper, had in many instances violated the rules of-the school, by inflicting corporal punishment on the boys, and that in one instance he had done so after distinct notice given to him by the defendant, that unless he desisted from such conduct, he would be dismissed from his situation. If he proved these facts, which be had no doubt of being able to do, he should have shown sufficient cause for the plaintiff's dismissal without, notice.—The foilowing witnesses were then called— George Bindley, an usher in the defendant's school, stated that it was contrary to the known practice c f the school for the assistants to strike the boys—their punishment was by tasks. Witness was present when the plaintiff beat a boy pf the name of Edwards. He was aboitt 13 years of age. Plaintiff beat him very violeatly with his fist, and knocked his head against the desk. ' Tnii was in September, 18% Alms he had re his blows several times, he took. the boy by the esd'of the neckcloth, and.knocked the lower part of his law agiittst the front of the desk. The defendant was not pre-ent at the time; but he afterwards told the plaintsff. that be must not strike the boys, and that it they acquired flogging he would do .it himself. The plaintiff, about a week after, beat another boy, named Freeman, who was about 14 years old; be struck him several violent blows on the side of the head. On the lame day he threatened to cut one of the assistants in two. pit the defendant's being informed of this, he told the ; laiiitiff that be would not allow him to strike Oily one in the house. Cross•examined—The defendant was never absent Win the school more than ten minutes without plain ..tiff's beating the boys. He was of a very violent temper. ' Thomas Smirden, an assistant teacher in the defend ant's school. confirmed the testimony of Bindley, as to the beating of Edwards. Witness had frequently seen '!fie plaintiff strike several of the boys. Corporal punish 'ment was contrary to the rule of the school- This was • comniunica•ed to the plaintiff by the defendant, after he had heard of the beating of Edwards, and be told the plaintiff that it the young Gentlemen required pu nishment he would inflict it himself. He added, that , if the pleinsiff again infringed the rule, be should die :nisi him front his situation. 'Cross-examined.—There were upwards of 60 boys the school, and there were four ushers. The beating orEdwards was occasioned by a quarrel between him and the plaintiff, distinct from his (Edward's) lesson. Wm. Sasirden, an apprentice of the defendant's, saw the plaintiff strike Master Ereeman. He knocked his h ad against the wall because he and another boy came up together to say.their lesson. Upon this occasion the defendant told the plaintiff that if be struck the young Gentle shah again he would discharge him. The plain tiff was tiiamissed.on the evening of the same day. The plaintiff told him that he was dismissed for sulking the 'beYs and leaving the school with only one assistant,in it. This was sa i d in consequence of the plaintiff's goiag out or the house in the afternoon of the day on which he struck,tyli.F.tressaa, and not returning until nearly nine o'clock' at night. It was the rule that mote than one assistant should remain in the school,and there wits only one there alien the plaintiff went out. The defendant on dismissing the plaintiff offered to pay him 14. in full - for his salary; but the plaintiff refused to take it. , Cross•examined—On the plaintiff's return, after leaving the school, the defendant remonstrated with him, and said be would knock his b—y head off. Wit ness thinks this was not without provocation, for the 'plaintiff told - the defendant that he was as ignorant as', a cart horse. On being told to go away, be said be 'ad no objection to do so, but be should expect to be i liitraitusiiliies salary. He came to the school on the following day for his books, which were. given to him out of the ground•floor.window. Joseph Frederick Edwards was at the defendant's school when the plaintiff was there as an usher. The plaintiff gave witness a book, which witness the next morning made a present of to another boy ; and be -cause he had done so, the plaintiff struck him against the e which made his face black frr several Y ehad struck witness several times d ra e l sk days very after.vio violently, H tl before. Cross-ezamined—Recollects plaintiff's coming for his books the morning after he was turned away. They were not thrown at him, but were given to him out of .tha windows The book which the plaintiff gave witness was a book on anatomy; it was one of a set. Plaintiff denied that he had given it to witness, and was angry with bins for giving it away : that was the cause of the quarrel between them and the beating. The ATTORNEY GENERAI., in reply, contended that no case had been made out to justify the plaintiff's dis missal without notice, and that the plaintiff was there foreentitled to a verdict for the amount of at least a quarter's salary. Lord TENTERDEN, is summing up, said the only question for the Jury to consider was, whether the de• fendant was justified in dismissing the plaintiff without notice? It had been distinctly proved that the plaintiff had beaten the boys contrary to the known rule of the school. and if the Jury were satisfied that that was the, teal cause of his dismissal, they ought to find a vel dirt for the defendant : otherwise their verdict must be Inr the plaintiff, with such damages, with respect to the quatter's salary and board and lodging, as they might think the plaintiff entitled to. _ • - The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages —Ten Guineas. EXECUTION OF Elb H c CRIMINALS AT VAN DIEMAN'S LAND. FROM THR HOBART ToWN GAZETTE, JULY 7. At the appointed hour • n Tuesday morning, Mr . Hayes, the Under Shetiff, summoned the eight Indian), men condemned to die from the cell totbe tatal scaffold. He found them in most earnest prep rate a, attended by the Rev. Mr. Bedford, whose elm lions in their behalf have been unceasing since their sentences wete passed ; the Rev. Mr. Macarthur and the Rev. Mr. Cavasso also kindly lent their aid to administer the comforts of the . Gospel at the trying moment. They se ere altogether .n, one of the upper rooms, and havi g had then irons taken off, were brought down one by one, that their arms might be pinioned. We have never belree seen men so pens tent, so resigned, and apparently so c• ntented to die. John Wright was the firs k nun th .: mounted the scaffold. He was a little dal man, 4.1 years of age:— He had been free about twelve`-months, an, had lived chiefly at Launceston, where he was heard to declare 1 that be was tired of his life. Besides the. robbery of Mr. Cassidy's, there was an inActaren gainst him for steal ing 22 sheep from Mr. Bryant, at J nacho. On Saturn clay night, his mind being in a dreadful state of aoily, and distress, he took Mr. Bedford. aside, and confessed to him that there wete three things Which he could not rest until he had disclosed. l'he fit st was, that his cruel and undutiful conduct to eis mother had driven her t., such a state of desperation as to make' her drown her self. The crime of matticide was therefore on his head, and he had her death to answer for. The seconi was perpetrated on the coast of France, in 1810, when being' in a British ship of war (the Boyne, 98), which captured a French gun brig, he was among tie number sent on board to navigate the prize. During the midnight watch he seized an opportunity. to commit a most ap palling murder. He split the angel's head open with an axe, threw the body overboard, and. with the test of, the crew, who had mutinied, ran the vesse: r n shore of, the enemy's coast. The third, %Well oppressed him the most heavily of all, was, that he had made three several desperate attempts upon his own life. Thomas Bidwell Child, aged 26. was the next. He talone, of all the miserable men, maintained throughout a fixed and resolute silence as to the clime of which he stood convicted. He joined with resignation in the de tout exercises of his companions, and frequently held the book with Mr. Bedford. Wheat the rope was .ad justing, he seemed already to have entered on the jour • ney, exclaiming, " I am sure I shall go to heaven-1 can see heaven. Child was respectably connected, and the son of a respectable solicitor. He was followed by George Dunning, or Dunhill, aged 25 years, a handsome young man, about six feet $ inches high, with a fine 'regular countenance, and had lately become free. His father, Snowden Dunhill, is now ' in the prisoner? barracks, a prisoner for life, for retut n lug from transportation. Dunhill's family and sooner. dons were very numerous, and most of them have been 'either executed or transported, having been long the dread of Yorkshire—noted as Snowden Dunhill's gang. • He was followed by John Clayton, the companion .of Dunning, aged 48. He had also become free, and long lived the life of idleness in the neighbour hood of • Bagdad, without an ostensible mode of obtaining a livelihood. Daniel Macpherson, a boy aged nineteen, next as. ceaded. He was remarkably fervent, and sung the hymn on the scaffold with great loudness and strength of voice. He was formerly a servant to a settler at Ralph's Bay, and dated hirciimes from the time of his entering the Penitentiary, which he declared had been his ruin, and wondered that such a sink of crime had not long since been swallowed up. Martin Higgins, a shoat thick man, aged twenty-six, his companion, had the rope next put round his neck. This man had also been a servant about Pitwater. On' the night previous to his execution, tie sent tor a utile boy in the Penitentiary, named Riley, purposely that he might take warning by his miserable end. He im plored the youth to mend his life. William Longhurst, aged twenty-three, from Mor den, in Surrey, was the next. He had the most open countenance of any, and a fine forehead. The crime of sheep.stealing, for which he suffered, was the only one with which be had been charged since his arrival ip the country. Henry,Oakley, aged twenty-four, was the last. He appeared to have received scarcely a glimpse of educe lion, and was lamentably insensible to the awfulness I his situation. The painful ceremonies being completed, the ropes adjusted, and the caps drawn over their faces, the Cler gyman and Sheriff descended the ladder, the ezecutio withdrew the bolt, the platform fell, and these eig miserable men, in full possession of their faculties, w -almost in a moment suspended lifeless corpses fro the beam. Friday sennight, as the millet of Daft-mill, in t h neighs:wise:sod of Letham, near Edinburgh, was et gaged about some part of the machinery, and in cot venat ion w ith his now widowed wife, he was caught It the spin wheel, and in an instant his body was lacerate in a frightful manner. Medical aid was in vain sougl after, from the impression that there might still I some faint remains of vitality. He has lett a discons late widow and four infant children, the eldest of wh is scarcely 6 years old, and the youngest only 3 wont' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL, La= Tasiouts.--Mr. Thomas Robins, a punchy book-keeper out of employ, was placed at the bar to answer the complaint of a hackney coachman. " At twelve o'clock last night this ere JokUentori calls me off of the stand lin Sinsgus•street, and stuffs two Ladies and his-self into ilia:ch, and takes and orders m to Rastcheap ; but as we was s long through Little Britain, the Ladies pulls me up, and said they wouldn't ride any further with seek a blackguard.' --So they an got gut ; and as Mr. Robins had no money to pay his fare, coachee gave him in charge to the watch. Mr. Robins, in his defence, very solemnly averred that the Ladies intruded themselves into the coach without his knowledge; and that if the coachman had driven him to Rastcheap, he should there have found the Means of paying him. " That is not true, your Worship," said the constable who bad him in chat ge, " for he put me to the trouble and expense of send uot-only. to Rastcheap, hut to tieveral other places, after money and friends, but nobody would own him. Besides which be was very abusive, because I wished him to refund what I had paid the messengers on his account ; and, though I am net in the habit of saying much about my expenses, I hope you wiU allow them a g ainst such a fellow as this. " Fellow:" exclaimed Mr. Robins—" now, since you have hurt my feelings by calling me a fellow, I will give you tit far tat. Your Worship, be was drinking girt hot all night long, and could hardly see what be was about." The constable admitted the gin but, but denied its consequences, affirming that they bad only half a pint of gin among four of them, and be pleaded an excessively cold night in excuse of it. The A I.DZIMA N ordered Mr. Robins to pay the coachman's fare, and also his less of time in attending to its recovery ; and directed the Clerk to report the constable's giu hot to the Deputy of his Ward. BOW-BTREET. • Mr. Thomas, the constable of Covent Garden parish, whose acceptance of office seems to have got him into" a sea of troubles," bad a private interview with Mr. Mewl, on Tuesday evening, for the parpose of .Informing him of an infamous attack which had 'been made upon the peace of his family by a ruffian on that day.— While be was absent from home, a tall fellow called at his house, and told his wife, in terms or the roughest kind, that her husband was a d—d informing rascal, and that be might prepare for the worst, for he would not be long an inhabitant of this world. He went on in this style for some time, and by bullying and menaces so frightened Mrs. Thomas as to make her seriously ill. Mr. HALLS expressed the strongest indignation at this ruffianly attack, and ordered a placard to be immediately posted, offering a reward for the apprehension of the offender. MARL BOROU G 11-STREET. Yesterday Colonel M--= and Mr. Richard C— were brought up to this office from St. Pancras watchhouse, charged with not having paid for their dinner at a coffee-house the day before, and also with not having paid for a drive in a cabriolet. William Snell, waiter at the Symond's Inn Coffee-house, Chan cery-lane, stated that the two prisoners came to his master's coffeehouse the day before, and ordered dinner for Colonel hl 7 - aud his friend. After dinner, and a good potation to wash it I &vet?, witness observed the prisoners making some movements, which led him to suspect that they wished to go away without' paying their account, and he, the tefore, immediately furnished them with their bill. The Cokbiel said that it should be paid,' but that they wanted to have a cabriolet first called. When k arrived, it was announced to die Colonel and his companion, who ; put on their bat', and went to the door, followed by the witness, be expectation of being paid. They. however, instead of paying himoul l making any apology, jumped into the cabriolet, and ordered the driver to drive off as quietly as he could to Kentish Town. Thal driver accordingly gave his horse the whip, and drove off in gallant style. The waiter followed, and though on foot, kept them in view till they arrived at the turnpike, Hampstead-road. There they were obliged to make a halt, as the gate keeper would not let then, pass without paying • his toll. The prisoners had no change, but desired the driver to pay, and said they would settle all at the same time. He, however, suspecting that he had got bad customers' refused, and made the prisoners alight. In the meantime witness came up, and on telling how the Colonel and his companion be .haved to him, he and the driver called a watchman, and gave them In charge. Richard Box, driver of the cabriolet, No. 52, confirmed the eel dente of the former witness as far as he was concerned. The Magistrate said, that as for the non payment fur the dinner, and the potation which followed, that did not come within his jurisdiction. But with regard to the driver's fare, he was autho rised to compel payment of it, or to punish them for refusing to pay it. The Magistrate then asked what was the driver's charge? and he was answered 45. The waiter proved that Colonel IL was drunk, and the driver corroborated it. The Magistrate ordered the Colonel to pay ss. for being drunk, l and also ordered him and his companion to pay 4s, the driver's fare. The prisoners, however, had no money, and were relieved only by the arrival' of a baker from Kentish Town, who lowered the Colonel into a Captain, and paid both the ss. and the 4s. for the prisoners; and they were discharged. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday considerable interest was excited at this Office, in con sequence of t S informations having been laid by Byers against Mr.. itlumtord, late the proprietor of several of the Vauxhall stages, for running his coach a different route to what was expressed in his licence. Mr. Law, however, who appeared for Mr. Murnford, urged three objections to the information, which , the Magistrate deemed fatal, and condemned the worthy informer in costs.—Byers then wished to know, if he had laid his information in a certain way, if it would have been deemed right? but the Magistrate said he did not sit there to answer questions, and Byers made his exit in dudgeon. WORSHIP-STREET. Elizabeth Drown was charged with robbing a Gentleman nisi the night before, in Cowheel.alley, Whitecross-street, of nineteen sovereigns, a guinea, a receipt for 51. and an 10 U for 51. He did hot discover the loss for some time after he had separated from the prisoner, but from the description be gave Hooper, a watchman, she in a short time after was taken, when seven sovereigns, the re ceipt, and 10 U, were found upon her person. She was remanded. UNION HALL. David Hart was charged by Moses Solomons, with illegally pledging a variety of articles entrusted to him for sale.—Hart, it appears, was to leave been man led to Solomon's daughter, and on the wedding day was to receive 2001. as a marriage portion. It was however agreed that Hart should have , the stock in the shop, of which be was the manager, in part payment of the' dowry, but not until the marriage was solemnized; and something happened to put off the union. Hatt had however appropriated to his own use various articles entrusted to him, and the facts being proved, he was ordered to pay 51. or be sent to Briztoo lee three months; but he paid the fine and was discharged. LA MBIRTII-STREET. Yesterday William Skew, the elder was brought up on a charge of threatening the life of Sarah Robinson. After hearing the evidence the Magistrate ordered him to End bail, and to give twenty-four hours' notrm Dalton, the salter, stated, that on going to exeeute the warrant he found Sheen the son at home, who, on hearing the. nature of, his errand, brandished a knife which he had in Ins-nano, aria bald, tt hi 3 f3el+33 wont to prison for that woman (meaning Mrs. Robinson) he would go to Newgate for her also. The Magistrate, on hearing which, instantly dispatched two dicers to bring Sheen before him, which they did, and on his ap pearance, being apprised of the above, he stated that he was willing to enter Into his own security not to molest the woman, but the Magistrate told him such language as that made use of by him was not to be endured, especially considering the miraculous escape he bad had. and ordered him to find bail, and give 48 hours' notice.— The younger Sheen only came out of prison on the 51st of Dec. having been there six months for threatening the life o: this woman. BELFAST, JANUARY 74 - - A poor old woman, who makes a Miserable sub. sistence by carrying straw bonnets on her back from Kitkcubbin, which ►he sells in different towns in the smith of Ireland, war, on the Sd instant, at twilight, coming out of Aughnacloy, overtaken by a man and a woman. They congratulated each other that they w ere all travelling to the same place ; however, when they came to a lonely part of the road, the man said. r , Let us try if this old woman lies any money." They Then laid hold of her, and in the struggle the old woman f e ll. The man searched her pocket, in which he found only three-pence, and would have left her but for the woman, his companion. She said, " Irish women sometimes carry their money in their breast—try that." He did so, ■nd there got the poor creature's purse, containing something better than six pounds—money which, it it probable, she owed the persons who supplied her with the bonnets. It was raining ar the time, bur, notwith , standing, the female robber told her companion to %trip , her of her cloak, observing, it was a warm one. Ti poor old woman begged them for GOD'S sak: not to strip her in the rain; that they had already left het without the price of her bed. The man, in whom errs ry feeling of natural sympathy was happily not entirely extinguished, replied, " they would leave the poor devil her cloak," and, giving her three-pence to pay for her bed, went off. ' • SINGULAR ROBBERY. A Gentleman reSiding" ...-- pto loco et tempore *Mils. the precincts of Holyrood, Edinburgh, ventured on Friday last to transgress the protecting limits of that sacre d place, and, as the Caber uses of the law.could scarcely be expected to be on the qui oive at this si.cial season, to run tire hazard of indulging in a little conviviality with his City friends. 44 Stolen Wallis are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant," says the wisest of men. The cup went round; 'all care and peril were forgotten, or " drowned in the bowl;" and exhilarated spirits, acted on by exhilarating wine, soon rendered ti.e temporary refugee a little conglo merated. In due time, however, he set out on his re turn to the sanctuary, and in puzzling his way along tile streets, " with just a wee drag in his e'e," he fell in with an amazingly polite person,who kindly volunteered to see him home. The generous nffer was middy ac cepted, and home the Gentleman and his volunteer guide assuredly went, and there had sorre grog to. gether. Meanwhile as time and tide wait for no man, it was discovered to be very late, or rather early; and as the psis Achates expressed • some slopbts of obtaining admission to his lodgingi, it was finally arranged that he should be accommodated with a bed in the house. Accordingly, he .retired to his rcom, but semi - ed there only till all was quiet, when he very unce , emonionsly to.ilt French leave, car. rying along with the entire suit of clothes which the "lusby" gentleman ,bad just doffed, two pairs of sheets, three bed quilts, and a pillow case, with a few shillings which he had seen deposited by his protege in a press or cupboard. When the servant entered the gentleman's room the following morning to light the fire, she at once mi,sed his suit of clothes, and her suspicions being awakened, immediately re paired to the stranger's apartment, to ascertain if he was present bodily. But the bird was flown. He had gone off with Iris spoil by the back door, which was the only practicable egress, leaving his compotator of the previ ous evening, and the family with whom the latter resid et! minus the articles above mentioned. Information of the robbery was lodged without delay at the Police Office, and from the description given of the fellow; he was apprehended in the course of Saturday, with the gentleman's waistcoat and -pantaloons on his person, while the coat and sheets were traced to the house of a notorious gang of thieves in Greenside Lane, and found there. PLANTATIONS EXPOsXD TO SRA SPRAY. In sacra. i tions much exposed to the salt spray of the ocean, esp . a cially on the eastern coast of Scotland, proprietors of estates are often Subjected to loss and disappointment . by the failure of their plantations. It may be service able to remind, or inform them, that Mr. Forsyth has communicated Lord Galloway's discovery, that under the shelter of that species of wood called pinester, any 4 other kind will succeed, however exposed to the sea. . Colonel Macdowal of Logan tried the experiment on ; an extensive scale, with every satisfaction. The seed . should be sown in rich soil, in the month of Nl.icli. Sixteen months afterwards tt e plants ought to be taken up in moist weather, ti,e top root shortened, and the young trees plante:! in rich ground thoroughly prayer. ized. It will be rccessary to water them ;en dap., at till they have taken firm root.
