_ "', y I' - MT.': • ' Sonnets, and other Poems. By D. L. RICHARDSON, 12mo. pp. 151. London, 1825. The piping times of peace have induced more than one son of Mars to exchange the sword for the pen, and cultivate the Muses successfully. Such has been thse case with Mr. Richardson, who has just given to the world a miscellaneous volume of Poems, many of which possess much beautythis number we hesitate not to class the following Sonnet: TO A CHILD. Thou darling Child! When I behold the smile Over thy rosy features brigh; ly play, (ltd light u nrivalled by the morning ray,) Thy fair and open brow upraised the while With an appealing glance so void of guile, (Untaught the trusting bosom to betray,) _ Thy sinless graces win my soul away From dreams and thoughts that dar ken and &Me ! Scion of Beauty! If a Stranger's eye Thus dwell upon thee,—if his bosom's pain, Charmed by thine holy smile, forget to smart,— . Oh! how unutterably sweet Her joy— Oh ! how indissolubly firm the chain Whose links of love entwine a Mother's heart ! The Scotsman's Library; being a Collection of Anecdotes' and Facts, illustrative of Scotland and Scotsmen. By James Mitchell, LL.D. of the University of Aberdeen; Correspondent Member of the Society of Scottish Anti • .ssaries,.4-e. pp. 740. Edinburgh and London, 18E5. Dr. Mitchell, though long resident in London; pos sesses all that love of his native country which particu larly distinguishes the sons of Caledonia; he is proud of Scotland and Scotsmen; and he has here collected what may be considered a record of the great and good deeds of his fellow-countrymen. The Scotsman's Library contains an immense body of anecdote and historical facts relating to Scotland, which Dr. Mitchell has, with great assiduity and research, culled from printed works, and from the MSS.in the Bri tish Museum. The work is extremely interesting, even to the general reader ; while to Scotsmen, it is a library of anecdote, illustrative of the history,costoms,and usages of their country. Weought to add also, that while in preparing the work, elegance has not been neglected the national virtue of economy has been studied, and the volume, though containing an immense mass of mat ter, is published at a price which places it within the reach of all. The. Writer's Clerk ; or, the Humours of the Scottish Metropolis. 3 vols. 12mo. pp. 1120. Loudon, 1825.. Few of our Readers will expect us to unravel the story of a Novel, nor would they thank us if we did, since, to a true novel reader, nothing can be more pro voking than to anticipate the denouement. instead of letting the story naturally unfold itself. The scene of the Writer's Clerk is laid in the Scottish Metropolis, of which, though a tale of fiction, it gives a good picture. The story, which possesses considerable interest, is well told, and there are many comic and spirited scenes in ti.e work. .To the English reader, it will be some recommendation, that the Scottish dia lect is seldom resorted to; and that, when this is the case, it is sufficiently intelligible. ARCHITECTURE. The Church now erecting in Sidmouth-street, Gray's Inn , lane, is rapidly advancing towards its completion, and exhibits an elegant hexastyle portico, of the Grecian . lonic order. The tower displays considerable taste, and assimilates with the rest of the structure: there is like wise something novel and elegant in the design of the windows: It is, however, to be regretted that the sides of the building were not faced with stone, brick being a material ton homely to accord with the.delicacy and elegance of the ornamental pasts ; and, as the edifice is by no means on an extensi ve scale, we should not con ceive that the difference, with regard to expense, would have deserved consideration. —Literary Chronicle. • 1011 tit \ 1L • .g11 1 1 .4 .0 b. /er Po . • .•• • • ESCAPE FROM SHIPIVRECK. Letters from Crookhaven, dated the lgth inst. give att account of one of the most providential escapes from Shipwreck, on Saturdar last, th.►t we have ever read, and which Daniel Coghlan, Esq. the Ageut for Lloyd's in that district was mainly instrume►►tal in effecting. On the night stated, the brig Charlotte, of Elsineur, from Medelina, It IL Bonne master, laden with rock mos, and matts, and bound for Greenock, ran into Barley Cove, (where the Leander was wrecked) in a fog. When inside the crew found themselves in a dread ful place, with terrific breakers all round them. They ler go an anchor and cable in 100 fathoms water, but it would not hold her. The situation of the vessel was discovered from shore, and information was sent to Mr. Coghlan, who immediately on getting it, pro ceeded over land, accompanied by forty-nine men, who carried his whttleboat to the bar of Barley Cove, where she was launched. Mr. Coghlan himself was the first to step in, and, followed by eight brave fellows, put off for the vessel, which lay about a mile from any point' of land surrounding the hay. Before they could suc the boat filled three times, but , and at length got on board, when 'as run out from her, and every as given in striking yards and top imething easier ; but ►t was not till and that Mr. Coghlan procured the that she could be got out of the ich presented a most perilous obsta is, however, at length happily ef p, crew, and cargo, tintunately pre ity, influence, ah.i personal exertions Jed by his men.—Cork Advertiser. . . 01 hind sull -gmits...., F , ceed in reaching her 1 they still persevered, a a stream anchor was • • sistance having been ; 1 masts, she rode some the riert morning, an aid of other boats, tli bay, the bar of whicl i cle.

HIGH COURT , OF-ADMIRALTY, Jai. 29. THE JOHN AND HARRIET. Tliis was a case of a vessel on which money bed been raised, and a bottomry-bond given for 5801. Sir C. RostnsoN said, the Court had ordered it to stand over for further consideration, and in the interval the Marshal had apprased the vessel and found her to be of the value of 560/. which was less than the amount of the bond,.and as she was getting daily of less value, he prayed that she might be sold, and the proceeds paid into the hands of the Registrar.—Agreed to. THZ MINERVA. This was a cause of mariner's wages. D. WILLIAM Armies, in opening the case, stated that it was promoted by J. Dunn, a mariner, against the master and owners of the vessel. The summary petition was in the usual Porn, but contained some particulars of so novel and important, and at the same time so stringent a nature, that it would be necessary to open them more largely than in ordinary cases. The cause, as the Court would easily perceive, was one of consi derable interest to the owners of vessels, as well as to their crews. The summary petition set forth that Dunn had been hired in the month of July, 1821, to serve as an able seaman on board the Minerva, at the wages of 21. per month for the voyage which she was then about to undertake, and which was described to him to be from the Port of London, in which the ship then lay, "to New South Wales," (whither she had been engaged by Government to carry a large number of convicts) " and to India, and to return to a port in Europe ;" that these were understood to be the conditions of the in tended voyage by all the men who were hired about the same time with Dunn ; and that at such time the words "to New South Wales and India, and to return to a port in Europe" were plainly and legibly written in the ship's articles, which had been signed by him and them ; but that at a subsequent pm iod, it should seem there' had been introduced after the word " India," the words "or elsewhere: which latter were obscurely and indis tinctly written. The summary petition then recited, that the Minerva proceeded to New South Wales ac cordiogly and landed the convicts ; and being in the , port of Sydney, Bell, the master, one day informed Dunn and the rest of the mariners, that the "ship was about to proceed in the first place not to India, but to New Zealand and the South Seas for a cargo of timber, &e. and that he accordingly gave orders for weighing the anchor ; that the mariners objected to this course, as a deviation from the voyage stipulated for in the articles which they had severally signed ; but ultimately they agreed to proceed, and did proceed in the ship to New aland, at their former wages, although higher wages are always allowed for voyages in those remote seas that on their arrival at New Zealand, on the 14th of Feb. 1822, sufficient timber could not be procured' for lading; and the Minerva sailed, therefore, for Val paraiso, in South America, and arrived there in April following; that at Valparaiso she took in a cargo of I ass o r ted merchandise ; and having touched at Lima, ran for Otaheite, where she took in a small quantity of other goods, and, returning to New South Wales for a second time, on the 23d of October, 1822, completed in that ct,lony a cargo for Calcutta. The Minerva got up to Calcutta on the 4th of January, 1823; and at Calcutta, her crew being dissatisfied with the great length of the voyage, and the deviations Which had been made from the course specified in the mariners contract, refused to remain in her any longer, unless , , she immediately returned to Europe. The remainder of the summary petition was in the usual form, except that it set out other grievances, such as the being de nied to go on shore, and so forth; it concluded by re presenting that the said J. Dunn, while on board of the Minerva, did well and truly perform his duty ; and was therefore entitled to the wages schedulate. The claim was for 391. 12s. with an allowance, however, for money received, stores, &c. to the amount of Si. or 91. so that the balance due on the schedule was some thing upwards of MI. Oa this summary petition, three witnesses had been examined. In reply to the petition, an allegation that had been given in on behalf of the owners stated, that iheir primary design was, that the vessel, having been taken up by Government to carry con victs to New South Wales, should go from thence to India for a cargo, and from India return to a port in, Europe. (And tilts, the Learned Counsel observed, was the way in which the intended voyage was understood by the mariners themselves when they entered). Ths allegation proceeded to state, that a discretion was given to the Captain to proceed to any other port or ports whatever, according to circumstances; that ever since the opening of the ports in India and the South Seas, it had been usual, in this trade, to give this kind of discretionary power to masters , and in mariners' con tracts, after the word " India," to add the words " or elsewhere." Now the Court must see that by this clause ships would be left at liberty to proceed to any port or ports, or number of ports whatever, until their return to Europe. _ Such was the kind of plea which these owners had ventured to give in.

The whole of the evidence was then read. The Cap tain seemed to impute disobedience of orders to Dunn and others ; but Dunn produced strong testimony of a very opposite kind; and at the close of the reading, The COURT said it would take the argument on an• other day. a=ozaszlow LORD MAYOR'S COURT, JANUARY 28. TUB CHAMBERLAIN OE LONDON V. HAIM This was an action brought against the defendant, upon an Act of Common Council passed on the 15th of April, 4th James I. to recover a penalty of 51. for car rying on a retail business in the City of London, with out being free. 'The defendant is a carpet ard rug-manufacturer, in Cannon-street, and also describing himself in his bills of parcels as keeping a general job-warehouse. He has been several years in business, and has hitherto avoided taking up his freedom, having from time to time set the Inquest of the Ward (whose duty it is to return non freemen to the Court of Aldermen to be prosecuted) at defiance. First, he alleged that he was exempt under the statute of the 56th of Geo. 111. cap. 67, having served his Majesty in the army. He, however, refused to produce his discharge, and afterwards shifted his ground, saying that he would avail himself of several other good defences in any action the Chamberlain might bring. Scme time ago, an action was brought to try the power of those defences, but was abandoned through the insufficiency of the proof of his selling by retail. The Inquest of the Ward again returned the de fendant to the Court of Aldermen as a non-freeman, and the Court having referred the matter to the Chamberlain, to prosecute, he issued his summons, .pursuant to the Act of Common Council passed on he 10th of May, 1821, to the defendant, to appear before him and shew cause why he refused to take up his freedom. On the day appointed, the defendant's servant attended, and stated that his master was extremely ill, and could not attend , personally. The defendant was then allowed two months to take up his freedom, and his servant signed the Chamberlain's book on his master's behalf, assent ing thereto. The two months, however, expired with out being noticed by the defendant, and then the Cham berlain directed the present action to be brought. The proceedings, therefore, were carried on ex-officio, and not at the instance of a common informer. The above facts having been proved by witnesses, Mr. BoLLAND submitted the following paragraph of the Act of Common Council last alluded to, in answer to the action;—" And it is hereby further enacted, or dained, and established, by the authority aforesaid, that from and after the passing of this Act, no such ac tion or actions shall be sued, commenced, or prose cuted in the said Lord Mayor's Court, in the name of the Chamberlain of this City, against any person or per sons, until such person or persons shall have been duly summoned and heard before the said Chamberlain." The Learned Counsel argued that this condition not being complied with, there being no evidence to prove that his client had been summoned and heard, the case must fait to the ground. For the plaintiff it was contended, that the appearance of a person in behalf of the defendant was tantamount to the hearing of the defendant himself. The question was one of law, and not of fact. The Court, however, submitted the case to the Jury, leaving it.to them to decide whether the Act of Common Council had been complied with. The Jury , after a short consultation, returned a ver dict for the defendant. This decision renders it. necessary to apply to the Court of Common Council for an amendment of the Act before any action can be brought against men who retail goods without being free, as it is probable that every person in such circumstances will avail himself of this construction of the Act, the words of , which are ex traordinary, as it is not easy to be comprehended how the neglect of a person summoned to appear should have escaped the notice of the framers of the Act, and that no provision is made for such an occurrence, -. • .... . ... -- • .

Dr. ADAMS.--." No, my Lord, not as a plea." The allegation went on to declare, that this practice and custom of the trade were known to all persons engaged in it ; that the words " or elsewhere" were introduced previously to the contract being signed by Dunn, and the other sailors ; that Mr. Bell, the master, did not say to Dunn that the voyage was to be 46 from London to New South Wales and India, and to return to a port in Europe e , but that he mentioned the clause "or l else•A here ;" that when Dunn and the other hands were hired, the ship's articles were lying open on a table in the cabin, where they might be read by all who went in ; and that the Master had offered to read them to the men when they signed, if they wished it. In the remainder of the evidence as opened-(which was pretty extensive), there seemed to be no material difference between the parties, except as to a plea of 1 desertion set up by the owners against the men, and endeavoured to be repelled by the men, is preying that they had been denied the ship by the master's older', when they had put off to go aboard at Calcutta. Dr. ADAMS submitted, that it would appear there had been no desertion, except that which was imposed on the men by the unreasonable deviations from the stipulated voyage which formed the subject of the plea, and consequently the claim of Dunn-mustbe allowed. Dr. JesiNert, with whom was Dr. Just ADDAMS, said, a great part of the argument in this case must necessarily turn on the question of fact, as to the inser tion of the wisrds " or elsewhere" in the articles • and on the question of their construction, if they should be proved to have been so inserted. Upon the first, point,, they should contend that the words had been at) pre-. vieusly inserted ; and on the second, that they perfectly ~~- GUILDHALL.

Yesterday, Alderman Vistam.xs, who is Alderman of Qusenhithe Ward, came to the Justice-room with the Beadle, and stated, that under the statute of Charles 11. he thought it was im perative on Magistrates to grant such summonses. Sir Jamas Snaw said, the Act was nearly obsolete ; in thirty-five years that he had been a Magistrate, be had not been required to act on it above Me times. It was impossible, in such eaves as the present, to carry it into execution, as the penalty was the forfeiture of the goods exposed to sale, and after a conviction under it , how could the goods be idintifi;d--who could swear to the cabbage or head of celery he had seen the Sabbath before ? It was the opinion of the City Solicitor, that the warrant could aot be executed; bow sides, it was necessary to have an information in writing before a summons could be granted. Alderman Vsamstas thought the offenders could be fined five shillings for exercising their worldly calling ; and proposed* that the clerks in the. Justice-room should turn the complaint Into an information. Sir JAMBS SHAW said, the clerks should give no assistance to iofermers, and the penalty of Ss. was n ot for exposing goods to sale, but for exercising worldly labour. Alderman Vexaoces thought,, that if the statute of Charles 11. was a nullity, a new one should be passed ; but said the present complaint should not be pressed, if the parties wuuld discontinue the practice. BOW-STREET. The Gentleman who was dragged out of ope of the boxes at Druiy-lane Theatre, on Monday night, by a supposed constable, for hissing at Mr. Kean, came before the Magistrates yesterday, in consequence of a letter having, appeared in the Times newspaper, stating that Nettleton (a constable of St. Martin's Parish, who re gularly attends the Theatre) was the person who had so dragged him out of the box, and he requested that Nettleton might be caged before their Worships, in order that be might ascertain whether he was the person or not. Their Worships immediately sent for Nettleton, and the mo ment he made his appearance the Gen tleman declared he was net the person, nor was he at all like him. Nettleton said he was mach obliged to the correspondent of the Times for this false charge; tint, even if the Gentleman had not been certain as to his person, he should have been able to prove that he was nut in the lobbies at all that night, his station having been at the stage-door. The Magistrates repeatid their opinion that it was neither Con stable nor Police-officer who had assaulted the Gentleman so grossly, but some person who had assumed that character fur party pur poses; and there the conversation dropped.
