POETRY. Oh ! all I love are now afar, Who lour me where are they ? And my heart still pants for the distant star, Whose softly brilliant ray Now shine•, where smiles and sweet looks are Far, far from where I stray ! But friendship's smile, and friendship's clasp, And triensbhip's voice have died ; Like the morning nust, that eludes the grasp, While is stands close by your side : Oh, the biro of the adder, the sting of the asp, Pain less than wounded pride ! Why is the human heart a thing On which the rude blast throws Sharp poisons from its noxious wing, And cold, cold, nippii.g snows, — Love unreturi.V; TelentirS% sting, And sorrows worse than those? Oh ! we may mount a woman's wiles When love deserts the heart; But 'tis when the friend (whose cherish'd smiles We dream'd should never depart), Bath been estranged from his truth, and changed, That we know, wild grief, what thou art!• The silence and the solitude Of this keen regret are mine; Not the phrenzy of the lover's mood That loudly would repine, But the sudden rush of the dark deep flood Over a mouldering shrine! Oh! I have bad a happy dream, Why should it now depart ? Oh ! I have basked in the sunlight's gleam, Till it pierced me like a dart ; But I wander t:ow by a gloomy stream. . And weep o'er a breaking heart ! P-a. Duanan. INSOLVENT DEBTORS" COURT. Thomas M•Clellan was brought up on his petition to be discharged, Mill was opposed by Mr. Cootie, ott be. hi 4 i•t Matthew Frost. IL appeared horn the evidence of this last named individual that lie lodged for three years in the insolvent's house. In Midsummer, 1827, they came to a settlement of accounts, and there ap, • reared to be 71. 125.4 d. due from Frost to the insolven.. The insolvent was very pressing in his demand for this sum, and in the end Frost was obliged.to deposit in his hands two bills, one for 81.75. 4d. and the other for Bi. as security for its payment. • The insolvent was to deduct his debt• from the bill which first became payable, and to deliver up the second to Frost, or in the event of his discounting or disposing of the second bill, he was to pay the amount to him. When the fist bill was due, the insolvent received the amount. and also appropriated the second bill to his own use. After repeated efforts to procure payment from the insolvent, Frost was obliged to bring an action against him. Trie insolvent defended the suit, and put in a plea of see-off, which he never attempted to prove at the trial. Frost had the verdict in his favour, but by the vexatious oppositions offered by the insolvent, costs to the extent of 971. were incurred. Mr. Cooxs submitted that the insolvent, by this vex atious defence to what was found by the verdict to be a just claim, had disentitled him to relief from the Court. The Commissioner (Bowan) did not think that the we►e fact of defending the action at lase could be construed into a vexatious opposition to the creditor ; . and as there ap:mared no other ground for opposing his discharge, be thought that the insolvent was entitled to the benefit of the Acr. LONDON SESSIONS, Sept. 24. WINE LICENSES. . Mt. ADOLPRUS applied to the Court to grant a li- Cense to Mr. Thomas Sealy, of No. 8, •Throgrnorton street: AppliCation had before been made for 1 license to the goose which the petitioner inhabited: Objections aeie made to it on tire ground/ that r 1 billiard table, with Wier aciorrimcidations, were kept there. Those . griitrirds If objection were now entirely removed. The • preent lipplication•was made under the old ACt. ,Mr. , LLEY objected, that under the old Act a license, could only be granted at the regular I:tensing petiod • therein mentioned. The Magistrates on the bench inquired what was the practide in this respect. The Deputy' Clerk of the Peace (to whom the like appeal was made by Mr. Adolphus) stated that the City Magistrates had, where no objection Was made, g witted licenses to old houses out of the period prescribed by the old Act; but he did not remember any instance where this had occurred in the case of a new house, the license to which was opposed. The COURT determined, that in this case, where the grant of the license was opposed, they could not deviate from the course prescribed by the Act under which ap• plication was wade. THE DR. JOHNSON'S HEAD. Application was made by Mr. AisoLoirtis in behalf of a widovi, Mrs. Mary Bush, who keeps the Dr. John son's Head (a house in which, according to tradition; Dr. Johnson lived), in Bolt-court; Fleet-street, for a. wine license under the new Act, the house being de dared to be an hotel. A gentleman, named Mr. Thomart Crowd, deposed, that from February, 1827, to some time in 1828, he had • resided frequently at. the house, which was particularly sell conducted. Cross-examined by Mr. Smith,. the solicitor of Sr. Bride's.—He could not say exactly how many rooms there were in the house, but he believed there were a great many. He did not know that the house had ever been shut up. 'At one time he visited Mrs. Bush as a friend. He more frequently went as a customer, and took others with him in that character. John Yeoman deposed, that friim July, 1827, to the latter end of February or the beginning of March, he served the: petitioner as a waiter. Daring all that time • there were persons lodging and living there. Some re mained doting one night, others driving a week, and several for one month. A Lady with her family stopped more than one month. Cross-examined—He had gone away because it did not pay him to stop as a waiter. Mr. ADOLPHUS—Whete people are not permitted to take a glass of wine, they will not long sleep. • ' The witness continued, and deposed that since he left, he had visited the house, when there appeared little business doing. On the sign board at the entrance of, • the court, the !ores was nut mentioned a, an hotel. • 1 ' • George Hartley, a lad, deposed that he had served • Mrs. Bush as " boots" to die !ionic; He deposed to ' the same facts as to families and strangers having slept in the house that were spoken to by the previous on ' masses. There were fiveservants besides the witness in the house. • 13esides in the large room, dinners were given in private rooms upstairs. Mr. Bowliod, of Guildford in Surrey, and Mr. Wil •-• Earn Pemberton, deposed that they had resided at the house, which was as well conducted as any hotel. Me. William Green war then called-Ale Was 'the btother of the petitioner. She was a WidoW, who had " ten'children, and her. support and that of ltek family mainly depended on the assistance she realist from him. lie had given VOl. for the lease of the house, for PI sears, at a rert of 901. per annum. which with taxes and other charge, amounted to 1601. per amain's. He swore. that since Feertiary last the Weise had beep, used as an hit:l—that .bone 40 persons had ditieJ thete in one day—qtat persiins of :he utwo•t .pect. a bility, ;swings' wtoni a Mr. Chitty, the brother of the barrister, 1:asl residod and slept ; and that the house altogether was well condo ted, to attain the ob ject for Which he had advanced money to his sister. The COUNT laid they could no longer hesitate ao grant the license prayed. • Mr. lackrnore, the solicitor, applied for a license so Vie house kept by Mr. N..rbrook, in Motrunieht•yard, 1. hid), heeonteneed, came within the - meaning of new Act as an hotel. Mr. John Hepworth, a young surgeon, deposed, that he had lived at the petitioner's.house. which lie consi dered to be an hotel. It was always well conducted as such. He knew other meddlers of the medical proles. sion who frequented it. When witness slept there he paid half a crown for his bed. His other friends who slept there held the house in estimation as an hotel: Sir PETER Lavntedeclared, that he had gone and inspected the house, as was his practice. and in his opinion it was nothing more than an ordinary eating !louse. Now he wished the witness to inform him whether it was the practice at hotels. for the hotel keeper to be seen with an apron on, cutting up the meat, which was displayed in', the window to passers by ?and, moreover, whether•it was customary at hotels to serve meat not at per plate? The witness deelared.••that when lie went to some dashing pliers. aod wanted hashed venison, lie got it at pa plate. Those ss ho went About the town could not fail to obsetre in the windows of tespectable looking houses which - were called hotels, chops and steak. arranged in goodly order to arrest and incite the chop or steak-loving passenger. Farther as to the practice of hotels the witness could nut speak ; for he could nor profess to be an extensive frequenter of them. This, in style, and respectability, and good order (for unless it possessed both he would not have been a customer) appeared to have evet y requisite.of an hott.l. Mr.Geerge Harris slept at the house, which appeated to him to be aa hotel. Crosesexamit:ed by Mr. MArrys, in behalf of the licensed victuallers in the neighbourfrood—Witness had ordered a dinner in a private ro.sm. He had also dined in the pubic room ; there the meat was served to him on plates; he considered it to. be an•hotel from the greater spleudour of the fittings up, tr.e mahogany tables, the Wires folks, and•the clean' Gess of the table cloths. The petitioner's son corroborated the general facts to which the previous witnesses had deposed, in favour of the petition. He underwent a long cross-exAmination, in the course of which he stated that one of the rooms in the attic was let to a journeyman carpenter at 3s. 6d. per week. Mr. MARTyN said, he had a memorial to preser.t Irons the Common Council of the Ward, containing their opi nion on the propriety of granting the. license. He ap.. peered there also for the licensed victuallers of the Ward. Sir JOHN PERRINO said, the opinions of the CoMmon Council of the Ward would be listened to.with respect; but they could not be received asevidence. Sir PETER LAURIN was yit of opinion, both from his own observaiion and the testimony at the witniseess that the house was only an eating ,house. The majority of the Court Mete of opinion that it cattle within the de cription Of' the Act. POLICE INTELLItiENCE. ia.‘Nsiow.uuuSE.

Sap land: the oranges. though pleasant, are ma i and acid; the plantain is but an indifferent nirl:ow peat ; the 'haddock his no merit but a jniciness and a slight biter taste, which is reckoned good in ferns; and the guava is au almost equal mixture of raipber/ jam and parlic. Nor are our attificial lusnr.ea more remarkable than our natural; they ate in fact only in. editions (judicious and elegant), to get rid of seers" real inconveniesicies; while all those citcumatarices ii which an Englishman mainly places his ideas cf cos" fort or splendour ' such as horses, carriages, glass , l c " niture, &c. ate in Calcutta generally paltry, and our valiantly dear. In fact, as my shipmate, Cnlonel Per nington, truly told me, " the real luxuries of Ilis!iss when we can get them, are cold water and cold air. Bishop Heber's narrative. MARRIRD. .The 16th inst.
