AUTUMN. Round Aututun's brow the aramantbus twines, It's wreath immortal bides the corning grey ; White purple sunsets gleam from out his vines, That own the painting of expiring day ! 0 fairest season of the changing year! Thy sunny arms the waving woods infold, Thy mellow breathings o'er the leaves appear; like Jove's, thy rich embrace descends in gold! I long shall see thee in the lonely vale, To tell thy many charms by silence taught, And see thee stealing tints that slow prevail. By Nature's band in strange embroidery wrought ! And when the sceptre from thy grasp shall fall, Thy last pale lingering sun in ocean set. Each grace departed shall thew line, real, And ill the pensive mind with mild regret! Wahner. R. JAMAICA. IRON AN ADDITIONAL POOTSCRIPT TO Tilt ROYAL GAZETTE 01 THE SD OP JUDY. THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN HANOVER. We anticipated in our last, from the forces in the in terior, and active measures then pursuing, that the in surrection among the Argyle Negroes and others in that neighbourhood would be shortly put down ; all the Negroes, but one, of the Argyle, are brought or come in. There are now inthejail, in this town,• twenty pi. sobers for trial, and six principal evidences: the bead driver's wife, Queen Aunt, is among the prisoners. No doubt a most serious - example will be made of them.— We congratulate the Coenery,.thereforefon the suppr es aim of this insurrection., add' we think its thanks are particularly due to Colonel Campbell, of the Western interior,-Colonel Campbell, of the Hanover Regimera, Captain Tench, of the 93d, add the Officers and men under their colentrian'd, for their prompt avid vigorous measures, Which have, for the present, led to the secu rity and peace of the Island. The St. James's Reginseet lave shown the greatest alacrity in turniog out whenever called an. Two com panies marched to Montpellier on Tote*, although by the suppression of the revolt, aad the arrival of the Maroons, their services woreuot required. We are sa tisfied that not a man would have Wen Octet from his post, had the Regiment been called on. There were yesterday seventy.seven Maroons, with the Superin tendant, at Argyle.

The increase is principally in cottage property, under 121. a-year rent ; so that the average rent, notwithstanding the very large factories which ate included, is not higher than the average rent of houses in Edinburgh, where there are no factories nor teare , houses unconnected with dwelling-houses to swell the average.

An American vessel purchased an anchor, being in want of it, and the ves sel (torn which it oaf plundered coming in sbOrt after Claimed it and got it again. About twenty sail of slave traders are fitting out at the flavannah. The British schodrier LOON, Captain Hoppner, bad taken a piratical schoOner of about 60 tons, off Cape Breton. Out of the crew, consisting Of 6 pirates, four , only were secured. The rest made their escape on an island, "high was, however, surrounded by the boats from two British armed schooners, and.it was believed they would all be captured. On the Sd July, die Mercator, Allen, was taken near Milanese by a piratical schooner, and tarried to Inas La Grande. A passenger named Jose, Manuel key, after being booed and hoisted by the neck to eaten inforatatien as to money, was put on shore at! lidatarmas. He nould give no account of the czeiv,l haring been cenfitted for three days alone in the cabin,, whence he was taken by four armed men, and put aehore, on the beach. On the 10th ultimo a Colombian privateer, armed with only one long gun, fell in with three of the pirates near Matanzas, consisting of two schooners and a fe lucca, and, after a desperate action, took the two schooners. The felucca escaped into Matanzas, when the clew Were apprehended and imprisotted; hut this pro- ceeding was supposed to be merely a sham. It was ru mowed that the Colombians eaecuted summary justicej on eight of the ruffians who had fallen intothelr hands.

The Governor of Porto Rico had, with the vieiv of suppressing piracy within the limits of his jurisdiction, ordered an armed launch, well manned, to be stationed at every port of the island, and that all the huts within a mile of the coast should be forthwith destroyed. Five piratical de predators had been seized at a small -port near the west end of the island, and sent to St. John's for ti ial, charged with having been concerned in murdering the crews of several vessels which they had aided in taking. Sunday evening, there was a general clearance of watches, purses ' and handkerchiefs, by the pickpockets, on the trontenelle Pier, at Margate. • Dr. stsurro has published a letter in answer to the account of the last moments of Lord Moto, in the WHlMialter Review.

BOW-STREST. afehist Smirkle and William Mesa, two lade, were brought before G. if.

Weer, en the watch for the audience coming out; and knowing them to be reputed thieves, he took them into custody. He searched them, and found upon Starkey what must certainly be regarded as strongly Indicative of his belonging to a certain profestion. This was a copper medal, upon one side of which was neatly and ac curately engraved, a Nam of pistols, a crow-bar, a picklock and two skeleton-keys, a dark lantern, phosphorus box and matches, the whole surmounted by the word " sewgate," in large capitals. On the other side appeared— " When this you see, " Remember me, _ _ " When I am far sway ! " Joint STARKLY." The pristmer3 bad little to say, and were committed to hard la bour In the House of Correttion for two months. Dsistais 11Vorthy and Acmes APClffthy were charged by Morris, Leadbitter, and others, under einsilar circumstances with the last prisoners. The officers swore that they knew the prisoners to be reputed thieves. who had been tried for felony more than once. 11I'Carthy—It Is true, your Worship, I have been unfor tunate in that way some time ago, but does it follow, because a man's a thief once, that he should always be so? Is there no , time *hen a man may reform ? It's the way to make one a thief,, whether or not, to take him up every time be happens to be sena in the StreCtS. The onterS said, that there were no symptoms of reform about Drn4 II , for he was every night In the company of thieves : so that; the Ealittw's questions, pithy as they were, availed him nothing, and .be and his companion were sent to the tread-mill for three weeks.

The prisoner said he had the honour of a previous acquaintance with the young Lady, who was in her seven. teenth year, and being about to depart for Paris, be merely called to take his leave; he gently rapped at the window, and the wind beings-sty sharp, she opened the window, and he entered.

ABSENTEES.—We have a report of Lord NORBURY'S charge to the Grand Jury of the county of Westmeath, which, as a specimen of Bench eloquence, is sufficiently curious to merit a place in our columns.
