HYMN. FROM THE MIRROR OF LITERATURE. Rise, oh! my Soul, with thy desires to Heaven, And with divinest contemplations use Tby time, where Time's eternity is given, And let vain thoughts no more thy thoughts abuse; rut down in darkness let them lie— To bye thy better, let thy worse thoughts die! And thou, my oul, inspired with holy Game, View and revievrg with most regardful eye, That Holy Cross, whence thy salvation came, On which thy &Ilona and thy sin did die! For in that sacred object is much pleasure, And in that Samoa Is my life's treasure ! To thee, 0 Jaw ! I direct my eyes— To thee my hands, to thee my humble knees, To thee my heart shall offer sacrifice! To thee my thoughts, who my thoughts only sea: To thee myself—myself and all I give— To thee I die, to thee I only live ! Sin WALTER RAL2IGH. APRIL. PROM THE COMPANION TO THE BRITISH ALAIANACK. There is nothing in the appearances of nature which strikes even the most careless observer with such plea sure and surprise as the suddenness with which, in this month, the trves• put on their green and flowery gar ments. The name of April is derived from a word which signifies to open. The fickleness of its days—its light clouds pouring out their refreshing showers, and thee passing away to give place to the invigorating sunshine—iV the cause of this sudden opening of the riciii•ess of the woods and gardens, which almost justi fies Ihe commorc phrase, that" we may now see things glow." The cherry trees are now sprinkled over with their white blossoms ; while the apple trees are even gayer, with their more varied colours. The lilac exhi bits clusters of delicate flowers; the honeysuckle twines its rich green tendrils and its sweet scented blossoms around the cottage porch, or the little bower; and the laburnum drops its golden chains in graceful profusion. The stock gilliflower, and the star anemone, are added to the garden flowers. Every thing is bright, and every thing is full of promise. The Sluing is a season of gladness ; and it does not want an echo of the universal joy, The singing of birds is now general. The rambler of the fields is in this month first startled and pleased with the voice of the solitary cuckoo. The ordinary songs of birds may pass over the ear without exciting any particular emotion; but the nate of the cuckoo always tails up some asso ciat on, either of ple.hute or melancholy, and carries our thoughts back to the Springs that are passed, by a chain of connecting remembrances. Towards the end of this month the swallow tribe return to pass the sum• mer with us. We are almost in complete ignorance as to the habits of these birds in the winter. With the swallow come also the remaining birds of passage, or they arrive scion after—the martin, the swift, the black cap, the redstart, and the yellow wiliow wren. The meadows begin to assume the most variegated appearance. The daisy is still bright ; and the cowslip, the crowfoot, and the harebell, are dotted with it over the green turf. Of the less favourite field flowers, we Dive now the ladies smock, the wood anemone, the dandelion, the wood sorrel, and the wild yellow tulip, in profusion. PARISH OF LAMBETH. Yesterday 1 numerous Vestry Meeting of the lobe. bit apt Householders of Lambeth took place at the School house, Lambeth-green, to take into considera tion the state of the Poor Asylum at Norwood, and to consider whether it was necessary to erect dormitories for the more perfect eradication of the opthalmia, raging (ac alleged) among the pauper children located there. The Report of Sir PATRICK MACORIGOR, Bin. and B. Tit Averts, Esq. was read, by which it appears, that of 200 children in the Asylum. seven were afflicted with opthalmia, and' five of them were very slight cases. Dr. *Lame, of Clapham, moved, that an additional wing to the Asylum at ishrwood, be erected. , A stormy debate took place. Mr. CANNON moved, as an Amendment, that it was not expedient to increase the wards and dormitories at Nor wood, as recommended in the Report. Mr. WILLIAMSIN, Mr. CANNON, Mr. HARWOOD, and other Gentlemen, addressed the Meeting in speeches of some length, showing that the building was not wanted for any such purpose, that it was snerily a job, and that the par i h money had already been too numb squandered unnecessarily. They also declared. that with very little incons enii nee to the paupers in the Asylum, the classification of the patients would be easily. accomplished. and the disease of opthalmia very soon be completely eradicated, as, in point of fact, it was gradually decreasing, and, under the skilful direction of the surgeons, and cleanliness of the attendants, enforced by the past overseers, very nearly disappeared. Atter an opposition from Mr. Lary, Mr.Fai.t., and one or two other Gentlemen, the motion was unanimously rejected, and Mr. Cannon's Amendment carried with applause. It was determined to grant a sum of SOQ. for the erection of a new kitchen and laundry at the Asylum; and the ground, ditches, *c. are to be properly drained, and the water putified where it is necessary. The IlEcron, as the Meeting was ahout to adjourn, asked if it was ktended to separate without adopting the suggestion of the Medical Report? A gene: al a:firmer:re answer was given, and the. Meeting separated at two o'clock. Loseititaxie CoLINSJOROK, Fint..--Monday, the 17th ult. a number of Gentlemen, friends to Mrs. Dewar, residing at this pleasant village, met at her house to celebrate her entry into the 100th year of her age; Mr: Aitken, Carnbee, in the Chair. They spent a most happy evening uith the old lady and her two daughters, the one 76 and the other 73. There were three of her neighbours present, whose ages, joined to Mrs.DoPar's, amounted to 374. Mrs. Dewar, in the course of the evening, mentioned the she remem bered of- fifteen of Prince Charlie's Highlanders being clammed in her father's house ; that " they were a' bonny-lads and weel behaved, and did nae harm, ex cepsing that ane o' them took awa' a horse o' the laird of Ifilconquhar's, wha was weel able to spare it." And her daughters remarked, that " they wad na wonder but folk wad be thinking them auld it their mother was awa." It is fu r th er wort h y o f not i ce, t h at i n t h e same v illage, containing little more than 450 inhabit ants, there are still alive eighteen persons, whose ages Amount to 1552, besides whom, there are many who have resided there all their lives, from 70 to 80 years of hie. It would be curious to compare this with some of the‘vßlages in those sunny and happy regions to u hich so many of our wealthy invalids, at such expense and inconvenience, daily repair. -i-: MIIIIIIIIm LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. _...... 6 „.... MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WARWICK, MAnca 51. WKINNEL D. REEVE AND ANOTHER. This was an action of assault and false imprisonment, brought by the plaintiff, who is a tea dealer at Rugby, against the two defendants, one of whom, Reeve, is also a tea dealer and 4 constable, and the other, Hewit, is an inspector of hawkers' licenses. On the 30th of Au gust last, the defendant Hewit met the plaintiff coming out of his house with several small parcels of tea in his possession, and seizing him by the collar, charged him with hawking it contrary to law. The plaintiff denied that he wai hawking it, and said he was taking it to wheie he had previously sold it. Hewit insisted on taking him to the watchhouse, and the plaintiff tesisted ; upon which Hewit set his dog at him, and the dog accordingly seized the plaintiff by the clothes.— Hewit then called Reeve to his assistance, and gave the plaintiff in charge to him, for the purpose of his being taken before a Magistrate. Reeve asked the plaintiff how much tea he had ? The plaintiff replied 71. worth ; upon which Reeve took the tea, and observing that la was the penalty incurred by the plaintiff, told him to give him W. in money, which, with the 71. worth of tea, would be a security for his going before a Magistrate. —' t he plaintiff purchased his liberty at the moment on tho.e terms, and afterwards went before the Justices, who first imposed the fine, but on taking the opinion of Counsel, they subsequently altered their decision, and the plaintiff's tea and money were delivered up to him. He now brought this action to recover compensation for the injury inflicted upon him by the defendants' illegal conduct towards him. It was contended on behalf of the defendants that they only did what they conceived to be their duty, namely, t4Ling a person befoie it Magistrate for having, as they deemed, offended ag.inst the Hawker: and Pedlcrs'Act. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 40s. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION MUSK Yesterday a complaint was made by i drover of Stnithfiehi, against the Superintendent of the nightly watch, in the vicinity of that market; and also against several watchmen, who had offi ciously driven twenty-nine head of cattle to the green yard, for the purpose of obtaining money fur the redemption of the cattle. It appeared that lAn, the drover of the cattle, fiading the street through which he was driving his cattle blocked up, went to get assistance. Ou his return he found that a number of watchmen had driven his drove of cattle to the green yard, and when they had been there ten minutes, the sum of St. lea. was demanded for the xestoratiou of the cattle. The Loan 'Alarms condemned the condact of the watchmen; and directed the money so extorted to be returned. A poor foreigner, a native of Owyhee, in a state of extreme destitution and ill health, applied to the Lotto Marisa fur the means of obtaining relief. H.: stated that the Captain of the vessel in which he had left his native country had been obliged to leave him, on account of sickness, at the Ship Hospital, the Grampus, front whence he had now been discharged; and that he was desir ous of returning to his native place. His Lordship immediately referred the case to the Committee of the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress,who, after affording a temporary supply for the want, of the unfortunate man, expressed their readiness to co-operate in the object of sending him home, the entire burden of such an expense being beyond their power. The Loan Maeda, in speaking upon this subject, with the view of getting it nuticed.in such of the public prints as might fall into the hands of respectable owners of vessels bound for the South Seas, stated, that be was aware of the highly important benefits conferred by the Society, notvritkstanding its contracted finances ; and intimated that be should m st gratefully, upon the part of the pcor helpless foreigner, rtceive a communication from any Captain or Owner, who would humanely allow bins a passage fur a re duced sum. 130 W-STREET. Yesterdays booteloser, a journeyman baker. and a geographical artist, dim a map colourer, were brought up from St. Clement's watchbouse, charged with di-orderly conduct in the streets, for which they were ordered to find bail. After this case was disposed of, the constable introduced a little personage, who, he said, was on 3londay night a very respectable man, but that at morning he was most sadly metamorphosed, and was so disguised that, itdeed, he hardly seemed to know himself; he knew, however that his name used to be' exter. lie was dressed in a pair u f ? small clothes which were" no fit" at all, but his coat fitted hint a great deal " too much ;" he had on besides a pair of odd stockings, but isoshirt at all, and appeared quite at a -Liss to know what to make of himself. Morgan, the patrol, crated that he found the said Dexter insen sibly drunk in St. Clement's parish, about one o'clock in the morn big; he was then very handsomely dressed in a blue coat, a clan shirt, and every thing else to correspond. He had also 41. 10s. in his pockets, which be took into his care, sod put the complainant (for such he now was) into the watchhouse fur safety. Mr. Arthur Dexter now said that he was a Gentleman's servant out of place, and was sorry to confess that be had no " distinct" re. collection of what passed in the course of •his night's incarcera. don, but in the morning he found himself stark naked and shivering with cold ; be also remembered being slapped and pummelled about it: the course of the night by his three fellow prisoners, who, more over, he deposed, committed a variety of indignities upon his person. The Constable said he found the complainant sitting naked on the ground when be opened the doer of the watchhouse in the morning to let him out his clothes were all torn to pieces, and in a state nut fit to be exhibited. The Magistra:e inspired whether there was only one place of confinement in this watchbouse for all sorts of persons indiscrimi. uately ? and being answered in the affirmative, strongly condemned such a want of proper acconimodation, and said tbey should pay a visit of inspection to it. Tbe three prisoners were ordered to find bail for this second as. mutt, with a strung admonition on the brutality of their conduct. li Al7O ti—G A ILDEN. SWINDLING—CharIes and Jane Tucker, man and wlfe,were charged 041 suspicion of committing various frauds on tradesmen. Mr. Mitchell, a haberdasher in Holborn, said. that the female, about a fortnight ago, came fashionably dressed to his shop, and having looked at a variety of goods, desired them to be sent home to her house in Warner -street, I'entonville. They were sent to the Issue, but were returned by the shopman, as they were stated to be f ret exactly what the Lady wished. In a day or two after, the i sm female sad another drove up to his door, in a handsome gig, lead after looking at some Leghorn hats and bonnets, desired that some might be sent home that evening. Mr. Mitchell went hems with six bats and one bounet himself, and delivered them to a respectable looking man (the male risotto.), whom be saw at the abase. He did *et see the female, but net having any suspicion letisy thing wrung. he left the goods, and promised so call again. On the following day be found the parties bad decamped from their lodgings, and had taketeld• property with them. Ile traced them to a house in Union.street, Southwark, and two officers with a warrant apprehended them, and recovered the property. It was found that they had obtained a grand piano from Clementi, under similar pretenees.—'fitry were remanded. MARLBOROUGH—STREET. • _ _ Yesterday "Signor Curios!, of the Opera, appeared, we hgliprip for the iifth time, before a full Bench of Magistrates, at WS 01Ice, to meet the claim put forward against him by the parish Ineibrwities of &. Giles in the Yields, which charges that he has burthened that parish with this support, fur four years past, of an illegitimate female child, his offspring. 11 the parish authorities appeared, and, as usual, Siktor Citrionl was accompanied by a host of Wends, foreign and domestic. Mr. Astir attended for the parish, and the lluu. Jr. Law appeared is the pail of the defendant. Mr. Amity having gone through the often repeated evidence is support of the parish claim— Mr. Law addressed the Magistrates at considerable length l . •- . • opposition to that chslm, pointing out the many years that were. steered to Otapse without any attempt to substemiatethis claim, divelling on the fact that four years ago this woman Kennel declared, on Signior Carlon' being pointed out to her, atter the tittle atter child, that he was not the father of it ; showing that abe was a fcsinale. totally unworthy of credit; and ended by asserting, that he could , prove this woman to haveaworn this very child to a man of the name of O'Brien. Mr. Law called as a mimes' a female, named Jane Blake, who swore that she lived in the same house with Frampton and the wanes Kennel, at Somme Town, stthe period rokrred to in their evidence; that she was the person who almost invajiably opeard the door to any one calling upon Kennel; that she did not believe Frampton ever so opened - the door; that the witness recollected a man something like a foreigner visiting Kennel on several occasions at that time ; that witness almost always let him iu and moat; and she positively dedared that Signor Curioni was not that man, or in any degree like him. A Mrs. Brown, of Lucasplace, New-road, stated that Kennel and her sister had lodged at witness's house while the former was with child, and that she understood frees them at the time, that some man, whose name she forgot, like itobethotu or Robinson, was the father. Witness recollected the day, four years ago; that Kennel went to have Signor Curioni pointed out to her, and when she returned, or when the witness saw her neat, Kennel told her be Was not the right man ; but she beard her say Noise time ;titer that she had found a good father in Signor Curioni for her child. Mr. Conant (with whom were Sir GEORGE FAllitAlli and the Rev. Mr. Tituasse, Magistrates) said, that although be bad net mentioned it before, be would now state.tlat front the commence .ment of this ease, two Magistrates out of Om were of Opinion that the order shoul d made against the defoodant—not that they gave much credit to the mother of the child herself, but there were so many according circumstances which bore out her evidence, that they did not doubt its trash; but Mr. Roe, who is at presedt oat .of town, was of a different opinion. and gave no credit to the cps* against the defendant until the witness Frampton was examined, when he agreed with the other Magistrates that the order should be made, but still consented to let the cue stand over until this day. He (Mr. Conant) and the other Magistrates present, were now of opinion that the evidence produced by Pdr. Law was not sufficient to shake the farmer case, and they were therefore decided in making the order on Signor Curioni for an allowance of 35. 6d. per week for the support of the child, together with all the expeases of its support up to this time from its bitch, as well ar the expenses of the mother's acceuchement. The defendant's friends said, that it would be a hard ease to addle Signor Curbed with the support of the child for four years past ' when the parish nude no e ff ort until very lately to discover any father for lt. Mr. Parker said. he thought there was t great deal of justice in the objection, and as he wished nothing on the part of the parish but what was just and fair, he very liberally said, that be would only ask the defendant to pay the ev.neusee of lying.in, and the support of the child since the commencement of these recent proceedings, dropping what the parish had paid for the support of the child for nearly four years. The Magistrates said, that this was very liberal and kind on the part of Mr. Faker, at the same time that they thought it right. The order was then signed spina the defendant; but Mr. Law, on his behalf, gave notice of an appeal to the Sessions against it, and Signor Curionl entered into sureties to try the appeal. WORSHIP-STREET. Damen( Amami* and Samuel Benjamin, father and son, were yesterday charged with having received a quantity of plate and jewellery, and a la note, knowing them tq have been stolen. Some of the plate found la their pee/y.610n was stolen in February, 1897, in the house of Sir Henry Watson, 5, Cavendish-square.

Monday. a Medical student, belonging to Guy's Hospital, was brought . before the Magistrate , , rharged•with having violated the per , ,tot of a young girl, named Sarah Mlles, a streamed Me.Hicis, in Paragon-place, Kent-road. The complainant, who is rather an interesting looting young girl, stated that she lived as 'errant in the house of Mr. picks, with whom the prisoner lodged. She was in the habit of attending on the prisoner; on the morning of the lath of March, he having rung for some water, she proceeded up stairs with it to the first door, which he occupied, and when handing it to him, he took her forcibly round the waist, and carried her into Ms room, and threw her down upon the bed (the complainant here became so affected that she was unable to proceed until accommodated with a chair). She proceeded to describe the outrage. and stated that she made every tesistacee In her power, and screamed aloud; but, owing to the absence of the family, her cries were not heard, and (as she alleged) the prisoner accomplished her ruin. It appeared that she had not communicated what had befallen her for some days after it had occurred, and the reason she ascribed for her silence on the subject was on account of a serious Illness with which her mistress was dikter!, and she was fearful of describing the manner in which she had been treated by the prisoner, thinking that it would add to her illness. The moment, however, her mistress became better, she related every circumstance connected with the outrage to her. —Mrs. Hicks was examined, and she stated, that subsequent to the day on which the offence was alleged to have been committed, she particularly remarked that the complainant appeared to be very unhappy. She (Mrs. Hicks) frequently interrogated her as to the cause, and at length the girl told her of the outrage committed en her person by the prisoner during the absence of the family. This witness described the complainant to have conducted herself with great propriety during the time she lived in her servlee.—ln her cross-examination, she (complainant) admitted that *be had as cepted of a silk pocket-handkerchief from the prisoner .previous to his having committed the alledged offer ce ; and subsequent to it, when she upbraided him for his conduct towards Intr, be imme. diateiy retorted, that he had given it to her as a compensation for what had occurred between them. She added, that she instantly committed the handkerchief to the lames GM !natio; tie prisoner make such a declaration. ALLIT said he was instructed to state, that evidence would Pe lorthcoming which would completely Impeach her veracity, and prove that she was a woman of immoral character. The Magistrates consulted together fur a short period, and re. marked that the evidence given by the complainant, whose testi mony they bad no reason to doubt, was of' that nature, that they considered it their duty to commit the prisoner on the capital charge. The Police Committee are pursuing their inquiries with an assiduity 3nd vigilance from which the most fa vourable results may be expected.

It stretches its web from tree to tree, and no longer appears a solitary insect ; many hundreds live together, and form nets or such strength, that you may often see a bird of the size of a swallow, quite exhausted with struggling, and ready to fall a prey to its indefatigable enemy. THE ADELPME Tutaritz.—This very pleasant little Theatre closed last Saturday night, when Mr. Yarn, at the end of the second piece, came forward and said, that he hoped that the character which had been given of the Adelphl, that of being the smallest Theatre in London and the merriest, had been deserved ; and we really think it has.
