This sow a day of Jubilee, A day to ev'ry Briton dear ; But now, unmeet the sound of glee, Tir halloved with a silent tear; That " GOD would save," no more the pryer— We only ask—that Reser would spare ! Oh, honour'd be that aged head! White with the venerable snows That " four score years" have sternly shed ; Oh, doubly honoured by the woes That left him but a shadowy throne, In storms, in darkness, and alone! And yet, tho' " quench'd those orbs" in night, Tito lost that mind in deepest shade, Celestial visions, pure and bright, And Angel visits, duly paid, May break on this dark winery state, And cheer the blind, the insulate! 011, Con! if such communion be The solace of his loneliness— If his high converse be with THEE, And Angels, who his visions bless? Then who would such illusion break! Oh! who would bid such drzamcr wake? Peace be will thee, afflicted Sire! Ifoweer from Reason's path astray, May Hewes still lend its pillar'd fire Tel guide thee on thy ihnely way— Pill thy soul here with thoughts sublime, And loose thee in its own good time! . ~ ell*. Saturday morning the driver of the Gosport wag gon had his brains crushed out, by the wheels passing over his head. It is supposed he was asleep, and fell off the shafts. The accident happened near Kingston. The light Bath coach from London, was overset on Friday night, 'at Langley Broom, by the leaders taking flight at an ass, on which they had nearly stepped, in the dark. The coachman and several of the passengers were severely injuied. • A Coronei's Inquest was on Saturday afternoon taken at the Three Compasses, Portman-mews, Orch at .1 -street, Portman• square, on view of the body of Pa:rict Lynch, aged 19 months, who met his death by drinking vitriol. Mary Lynch, mother of the de . eased, and wife of John Lynch, of Cannel- buildings, laLoarer, stated, that on Wednesday night, about seven o'clock, she sent one of her children for some oil of vitriol to take some stains out of linen, it was fetched in a mug, and was placed in the reach of the deceased. Witness was in the room when the de ceased reached the mug froni the table without being seen by witness, who was instantly alarmed by the violent screams of the child. The deceased Was im mediately taken to a Doctor, but notwithstanding every thing was dene to counteract the effects of the vitriol, the poor child died about two o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, remarked on the impropriety of putting vitriol within the reach of children, and at the same time gave it as his opinion, that as the deceased was a remarkably fine child, and the mother seemed very much afflicted at his death, there seas no doubt but the death of the child was purely accidental—a ver dict to which effect was returned without hesitation by the Jury. A very melancholy accident happened at Ballshill Colliery, Westbromwich, on Wednesday. Three men got into a skip, for the purpose of descending one of the shafts into the pit, 'ay means of a whimsey, which was under the care of a man named Ward, who, at the time they began to descend the shaft, wa's at the gears of the whimsey, and knew they were in the skip, When they had got down about twelve yards, the whimsey turned again, the skip ascended at a very quick sate, was drawn over the pulley at the top of the pit frame, and broken to piece;, and two' e. the Men, Molborn and Steeley, fell to the bottom, a depth of . 1 . 20 yards, and were killed. Clewley, upon ascending the mouth of the shaft, perceived that Ward was not at the gears to guide the engine, and knowing the consequence to be inevitable de struction, saved himself by catching hold of some of the uprights of the pit frame, to which he clung un til the w:i.ggon, was slided over the mouth of the shaft.—The Jury gave a verdict of Manslaughter against Ward, who was committed to Stafford jail. A woman, having the appearance of a laundress, called, about three o'cloark on Thursday afternoon, at the house of Mr. Simmonds, Marchmont-street, Brunswick-square, saying she came for the clothes to be mangled ; on which the servant, without hesi tatiuu, gave her a large basket of clothes, containing sheets, table-cloths, napkins, shirts, shifts, gowns, petticoats, and other articles of wearing apparel, to the amount of D 2 , 15, with which she made off, and Vas not since been heard of. The servant had been previously with the mangle woman, to tell her to send for the clothes, which she promised to do in half an hour, within which time the thief called, and obtained them. - Where an assemblage of talent and experience is concentrated in one line of practise, a success must attend their application, not to be found elsewhere. This has been evinced in the Establishment of the Medical Board at Charlotte-House, Blackfriars-road, and at Woodstock-House, Woodstock -street, Oxford street, where cures are every day performed in cases' which have baffled the skill of eminent professors, and excited their ast mishment.—The Medical Board hare particularly attended to those consequences of a certain disease, which entails the most distressing de bilities, and unhinges the constitution of both sexes. They also remove the effects of those symptoms aris ing from juvenile indiscretion, from irregular living, and from a long residence in warm climates—of this description they beg particularly to notice obstinate eruptions in the skin, sore throat, pains in the head and limbs, frequently mistaken for rheumatism, strictures, Estulas, scrophula, B:c.—Messrs. Coorcn and Co. after forty years practice in various Hospitals, are consulted at Woodstock-street, Oxford -street, daily, from eight till eight; and. :t the Medical Board, Charlotte-House, Great Charlotte-street, Blackfriars road, pre‘isely from twelve until eight in the evening. —Mechanics, and persons of moderate income, have advice, gratis, if they attend at certain hours, namely, TuesdAy, Thursday, and Sunday mornings, until one o'Cluck, and from six to eight every evening. 1,- 4 - A side door, and prikate rooms for females. TVESTMINSTER SESSIONS, OCTOBER ig4. Mr. BARRY addressed the Court in behalf of Mr. Robert Tyler, the confidential clerk of Mr. !loupell, , the Chancery Barrister. Mr. Tyler exhibited articles of the peace against Miss Lucy Morgan, late of Po land -street, charging her with having committed various attacks upon him during the last seven years. Some of the breaches of the peace were stated to have been committed upon Mr. Tyler, while attend ing his business at Mr. Roupell's chambers in Lin coln's-inn, and others in the public street. She had also, it was stated, written several letters to Mr. Ty ler since her imprisonment (she was in custody since the first of August for want of bail), declaring her determination never to cease pursuing him, until he fulfilled his promise of marrying her. One of the letters contained the following passage :—" ll—n me, if you sha'nt suffer for your Unkindness to are, the instant I set my foot in Lincoln's-inn. The mo ment I am liberated, [ll go to you, and make self no consideration to punish you." The learned Coun sel stated, that all Mr. Tyler wanted was a security from the defendant, that she would cease the annoy ance she was in the habit of committing for the last seven yeats. The unfortunate Lady was evidently suffering under a mental delusion. She imagined the cohabitant had shewn a strong attachment to her, and made her several promises of marriage. All this merely existed in her own imagination, for Mr. Tyler had no notion whatever of forming such a connexion. There had never been any cohabitation or intimate intercourse between the-parties; and all that Mr. Tyler required was, for the defendant to give her own solemn pledge that she would discon tinue her attacks upon him ; he was willing to let the matter rest upon her own recognizance, if she would make this promise in open Court. The learn ed Counsel conjured the Lady, fur her own sake, to accede to so considerate a proposition. The CHAIRNIAti—" Madam, you hear this offer. Pray, what do you mean to say upon it ?" " Sir, I have no wish to offer offence to any per son ; but Mr. Tyler has, for years, made honourable proposals of marriage to me, and at last I acceded to his wish. Ile thee, on various pretences, on one occasion of illness, put the matter off, but prevailed on me to live with his mother for a short time, until circumstances would permit him to fulfil his promise. I, with the consent of my father, agreed to reside with his mother, and wait a short time ; but the postponement was still continued, and my peace fif mind became destroyed. I therefore made repeated - applications to him to marry me, as he had so often solemnly promised, and these appl:•ations were now termed breaches of the peace. I became quite dis tracted at his having , another female in his house, and often knew not waat I did. I declare most so lemall.y, that so far from bearing malice towards him, I feel nothing but sincere respect and unaltered at tachment for him, notwithstanding his treatment of me. My distress of mind is great beyond expression at his cruelty." The Citiazal7asr---ee Well, suppose, Madam, that what you say be true, you have your remedy by law for any breach of promise towards you which he may have committed. There can he na excuse for your persevering to attack him in Mr. Roupell's office, and intetrupt his business in the manner laid to your charge." Miss Morgan—" I shall not distiirb him in his business. I should be sorry to do so, particularly in lie Roupell's cflice, for Mr. Roupell has behaved with pleat consideration and kindness towards me." The CiaatßMAS—n Have you no friends here?" Miss Morgan—e , No, Sir, my father and family reside in Ilrist The CII A I 11:4AII.—" Will you keep the peace r Miss Morgan-..." Certainly ; I &al know what a breach of the peace means. lie has annoyed me in the streets more than I have disturbed y is Tile CIIAIRMAN—" Will you avoid him in future, and put him out of your mind altogether r Miss Morgan, with great emotion, replied- 14 Be :ore I can put him out of my mind, I ruu.t cease to have existence !" • _ The case was then ordered to stand over until the adjournment day; and the Lady laid her head on tie table, and wept bitterly. 1:N10x-1-TALL—William Ed/asndi, who on Mor.- ,lae last was brought to this Office from Putney, on a charge of attempting to murder his wife and daugh ter, and :mother female all of whom he dangerously wounded by stabbing t hem with a knife, was on Sa turday brought before the Magistrates for further x unination.—Edward 'Wier, the Beadle of Put ney, wl:o took the prisoner into custody, attended, and produced to Mr. Scrjeant SELLoN, the Sitting Magistrate, a certificate from Mr. Shillitoe, surgeon, at Putney, setting forth that Mrs. Dyer, one of the wounded persons, was not sufficiently recovered from the injuries she had received in her hea4, to attend fur the purpose of giving her evidence. The Ma ' gistrate remanded the prisoner, and directed that he should be again brought up when the witnesses were so far recovered as to be in a condition to give evi dence without injury to their health. STATE Oti NEWEATE.—It Will be seen by the fol lowing summary of the Prisoners now confined in the prison of Newgate, preparatory to taking their trials at the next Old Bailey Sessions, commencing on Wednesday, that although only four weeks have elapsed since the last Sessions, there are more than 200 prisoners for trial ; and lamentable to state, this only includes those committed up to Thursday morn ing last ; amon whom will be found three for mur der, three for forgery, and though last, not least, no less a number than twelve capital charges for utter ing forged notes. They are as follows: Murder, 3 ; housebreaking, 3 ; burglary, 4 ; sheep-stealing, ; forgery, 3; uttering forged notes, knowing them to be so, 12 ; highway robbery, 8 ; stealing in a dwelling-house, 17; steal ing in a shop, 2; cutting and stabbing, 1 ; manslaughter, 2 ; re ceiving stolen goods, 2; larcenies, 137; embezzlement, 4 ; steal ing from the person, 5; bigamy, 1. There arc at present confined in Newgate under sentence: . Death, 36 ; transportation for life, le ; transportation for four_ teen years, 10; transportation for seven years, 45 ; felony, mis demeanors, &e.. 50; for trial, 218; making at present, within the walls of the prison, 371. Since the above list was made out, a proportionate number have been committed for various offences, among whom were two for forgery on Saturday. MURDER. At the Quarter Sessions for the City of Chichester, which commenced on Friday, Corporal Holloway, of the SI st Regiment, was tried for the murder of J. Parr, a private of the 9th Lancers, at Chichester. It appeared in evidence, that a quarrel took place between the prisoner and the deceased, at the An chor Tap, about a woman, in which dispute a private of the 35th Regiment ' and another of the 31st, joined, and about which they fought. After this, Holloway struck Parr several blows with his fist, upon the head ; and, on the other men attempting to interfere, the Corporal cried out to his men—" Stand to Arms," and, thereupon, the two men ran away ; but Parr, either from being in liquor„or from the ef fects of the blows on his head, could not move more than about 40 yards. Holloway overtook him, with a musket, and beat him with the ramrod until it broke, and afterwards with the small end of the mus ket. He left him, but hearing him groan, he looked back, when seeing him attempting to rise, he ex claimed, " his eyes, he is not dead yet !" He struck him most violent blows with the butt end of the musket, which lie held with both his hands. Parr cried out for mercy ; Daly (a comrade of the prisoner) begged prisoner not to strike him any more, when prisoner threatened to serve him (Daly) in the same way, which induced Daly to leave hini, and go to his quarters. When the prisoner returned there, which he did with his stock broken, he desired Daly not to say any thing to the Colonel, as he would tell him it was done on duty.—Mr. F. Guy, Surgeon, proved the nature of the wounds : the fatal one was a concussion in the brain.—The REcoaDEft recapitu lated the evidence, when the Jury deliberated a quar ter of an hour, and returned a verdict of—Wilful Murder.—The RECORDIM, in the most impressive terms (which affected a crowded Court), passed the awful sentence otthe law nn the prisoner, and direc ted that his execution should take place this morning, and that his body be dissected. ESSEX QUARTER SESSIONS. FORGED WALKING PissES. For some time past several of the parishes in the counties adjoining to Middlesex, have experienced a species of visitation, which, though not very novel in its kind, has become an alarming evil, from the great extent to which it is daily arriving, namely, the ex tortion of money by travelling vagrants, by means of forged and counterfeited walking passes. A few weeks since a swarm of persons of this description settled at Barking, Hockley, and other parishes of Essex, nearest to the metropolis. The parish of Hockley was visited by a party of upwards of 69, consisting of men, women, and children. They applied to the parish officers, and produced no less than 59 certifi cates and papers of the description already men tioned, demanding relief on their route to their r.- spective destinations. Little suspecting any thing si nister in the proceeding, the officers immediately paid to one party of them £4 ss. whilst others went to the neat parish. A vi s itation so unexpected na turally some curiosity, and the officers sus pecting that all was not right, followed the party same distance, hanging upon their rear. At the next place they came to, the passes and certificates were examined more minutely, and upon inspecting the supposed official seals to the certificates, they turned out to he impressed with the reverse side of a new shilling upon black wax, the Court being then sup posed to be in mourning for the lamented death of the Princess Charlotte of Wales., The fraud being thus detected, the party were induced to deliver up certificates to the number of 59 ; ant the next step was CO secure, if possible, the whole of the offenders. But this was not found so easy a task. Perceiving that a masked battery was about to open upon them, some began to defile off with a quick step. By this time the officers had collected to their aid a few con stables, and several of the inhabitants, anal endea voured to make some prisoners. A skirmish imme diately ensued, in which a desperate resistance was made, and in the result the officers were only able to secure eight of the party, the rest having contrived to make goad their retreat. Those were conveyed to the Barking lloase of Correction, and were detained for the purpose of being disposed of at the County Quarter Sessioms, which commenced at Chelmsford last Monday. On Thursday they were brought up on the motion of Mr. WALroan, in order to be adjudged rogues mid vagabonds, under the Vagrant Act. 17 Geo. H. c. 5. The names of the offenders were, M'Joy, Edward O'Dunnell, the elder, Ed ward. O'lknneli, the younger, Mary• Brennan, Mary Lovell, Mary M'Quiory, Vat y liAkr, Elizaheth Smart, the elder, and laizabeth Smart, the yourg, r, a gi,l abaut I 1 years old. The Court, won hearing the testimony of the of ficers, adjudged them all to be rogues and vagabonds, except M'Joy, Mary Miller, and Mary Lovell, the officers being unable to identify them with sufficient certainty. It appearing upon the evidence that MTane and the two O'Donnells were most active in the resistance made to the officers, the former was' sentenced to six months, and the latter two to three' months imprisonment in the House of Correction at Barking. Thu women were directed to be passed to the nearest port in Ireland, pursuant to the statute. Mr. MERRY, jun. son of Mr. :llxustv, Deputy Se- 1 cretary at War, attended to disprove the signature of his father, which purported to be attached to the certificates. Lady HAREWORD'S house was broken open on Sa-' turday night last, and robbed of several dozens of silver-spoons ; fortunately, the plunderers were un able to ascend . to the upper part of the house, in con sequence of the doors being well secured. Friday night the coach-house of Joint TURNER, Esq. of Putney, was - broke open, and the carriage glasses were carried off by the robbers. On the same night a similar depredation (supposed by the same parties) was committed in the chaise-house of Mr. CHAMPION, of the Red Lion, Putney. The Liverpool Courier says--" We stated a few weeks ago, that the cebrated Abraham Thornton had arrived in this town for the purpose of emigrating to the United States. Me has experienced more diffi culty than he had anticipated in getting a passage thither. It appears that he had engaged one in the Independence, but when the other passengers became acquainted with his name and character, they unani• mously refused to go in the same vessel with him ; and a new muster-roll was in consequer.ceznaile out, in which his name was omitted."
