THr. SLAVE SHIP. No serge was on the sea, No cloud was on the day, When the ship spread her white wings, Like a sparbird en tier way ! • Ocean lay bright before, The shore lay green behind, And a breath of spice and balm Came en the landward wind ! There rose a curse and wan. As that vessel left the shore ; And last looks sought their native land, Which'shoold dwoUtike ne mote ! Who, ening the felt ship That swept through the bright waves, Would dream that tyrants trod her deck, And that her freight was slaves ? 131 Jay was heard the lash. Up night the heavy groan; 1. or 'the dave's blood was on the chain That ['steed to the boas Was one in that dark ship.. . - Prince fu bis own land ; Ile scorned the chin be scorned tic tl.reat— He scorned his fettered hand 1k called upon kis tribe. And said they might be free ! And his brow was cold and .tern, As he pointed to the sus ! Nest night a sullen sound Was heard atuid the wave ! The tyrants son6bt their captivcs,— Thty only found their grave! TOLL. Ii3CoRDER'S COURT, DUBLIN. • Bryan Carrot was indicted for stealing a brechis, (raft of a harness belonging to a dray). Robett Tomkins, the prosecutor, was sworn, and , stated his case in a tone of voice which certainly did not c 11l upon the Court to compel him to 'spealc•up, that the Jury might hear him. He deposed that he was in the habit of going to breakfast every morning. and leaving a dray, of which he was the owner, and the prisoner, tie driver, in cam of the latter ; that on the morning of the alleged felony, he found, on his re• turn to the stand, the brechin and the driver absent; off he went to a public-house, where he found the pri soner very composedly smoking a dhudieis (Artgliee—a short pipe), and he staggering blind drunk ; on his in quiring what had become of the price of the har ness ? Carroll hiccuped out, to make the best he could of it, that he'd pay him for it. The prosecutor instantly set off to Kevin-street, and bowled into one Casey's, where he seised on the first article of the kind that came in his way, and which be alleged was the identical article of which his quadruped had been despoiled. G sa y mos ,was it s horses brechin Prosecutur.—Why, won't what will St a horse & a mare?... (Laughter). Itsamosa.—Attend tome, Sir. Prosecutor.—How the 1)-1 can I attend to the whole of ye ? Pramusaa.—Are you certain that this is the article that was stolen from you? Prosecutor.—To be sure I am ; I had only four, all of the same kin:l, and this is broader than any of them !—(Koars of laughter). Raeozbaz..—That is rather an odd mode of identiScation. Proaecutor.--Oh, you may talk as long as you like; but this is my hovels's. and I'll swear to it all the world over. Juror.--Where did you get information as to where the pH saaer was? Prosecutor—(Turning to Sind, Lamprey)—What does that ould man mean by information? The meaning of the word being explained, be stated that he mine plump upon him, and made him apresenelan the King's name. Recorder—. Ant nut men of his class apt to drink pretty freely? Prosecutor—Ob. by dad they are, through one anodic ; and I Wt. a little myself of an odd time ; but if they get drunk ten times a day, I don't care a tammien if they bring me home the money. Court—How long has the man done business for you? Prosecutor—Five years, my Lord; and he's as honest a man as any ono I see I--(Laughter). . Sit 'Norco Wrixt.Ax—.l.l he were acquitted now, would you take him back again ? Prosecutor.—Troth I would, and will this very day, whether he's acquitted or no ! Joror...Then you shall have him. The issue was banded up. and the Jury immediately returned a verdict of Acquittal. On the vet cbct being pronounced, the prosecutor leaped off the table with the_g~►reatest apparent delight, sweating be would not fur 201. have brought him there, only he was in a passion, and roaring out—" Come along, Carrell, arid carry borne the brichen." The accu er and accused departed in high glee, amidst shouts of laughter. • Lette.s, dated the 15th of June, have been received from Cape Coast. The soldiers were beginning to feel the effects of the climate. Lieutenant-Colonel PURDON, of the !loyal Mikan Colonial Corps, had experienced 2r attack of fever, but was recovering ; we are sorry However in add, that Captain Di BARALLIER died, after a few days' illness. No mention is made of the Achantees. A Gentleman in Virginia recently liberated 88 slaves, any' paid their passage to Liberia. This munificent ex ample of benevolence, has been followed by a Reverend Gentleman in North Carolina, who has lately liberated 11 of his slaves for the same purpose. This voluntary mode of putting an end to slavery, will, we hope, find increasing proselytes. CANDMATILS FOR MATRIMONIAL HoNoutt —The increase in the matrimonial advertisements puts us in Elia?. of a hoax of this sort which was successfully payed off a short time since. It was agreed, in a gay pity of Ladies and Gentlemen, that an advertisement should be inserted in a London Morning Paper, as from a Lady who felt inclined to taste the joys of matrimony, more speedily than to all appearance the ordinary way would enable her to do, giving the I.,nging maiden a fair portion of beauty aad riches. Letters were re ceived in reply from between fifty and sixty swains of all descriptions, to each of whom an answer was ad dressed, statiug that so far the writer was not objected to, but that the Lady would like, previously to his being introduced to her, " un sun to see him ; " —at the same time requesting each to be in the pit of Drury- Lane Theatre, on a certain evening, dressed in a par- Center way, and immediately on the conclusion of the first piece, to stand upon the benches, and apply a quizzing-glass to the right eye. All succeeded so well,'' that as soon as the curtain fell, above fifty of all ages, mounted the benches—from the smooth-chi. ned Adonis uF fifteee, to the sleek, portly, self-confident idower 01 fifty, and the shrivelled, worn-out, and emaciated bachelor of silty, all adorned according to order in the gayest style, and with the utmost nicety, to make the deeper Impression on the heart of the tar prizey High swelled their bosoms with hope, as with studied action the sparkling glass was raised to the eye; but who shall paint the astonishment, dismay, and rage, alternately depicted on their countenances, on discover ing the sudden failure of all their hopes" With such velocity did they all descend from their unenviable attitudes, to 1 , hide their dimi&thed heads" among the crowd, that the decrepit lover of sixty might have fancied his kw!, Meet some possessed of the pliancy of urenr POLICE INTRZLIGENCr. I' NAHBIOI4-ROUSIL FA L-1 Minim who has a residence near Peckham, waited upon the Loss Holton to represent to IRs Lordship the desperate conduct of the thieves who infested Peckham Fair. He did this in the bops that the City Police would be fully prepared for them when they visited the City in turn. at the annual nuisance 13artholo. mew Fair. On Monday night, at Peckham Fair. a gang of its or SO thieves posted themselves on a small bridge. and beat and robbed with impunity the persons who were compelled to pass along it. Tim screams of the females whom those villains maltreated were frightful, and yet the work went on without interruption. The audacity of the ruffians was astonishing. The Lord Mapes in formant described the general scene of riot which the Fair pre sented, and said that those who defended the tolerance of such scenes, had only to go and witness what passed to be contincA of the necessity of abolishing all Fairs in or near the :11ntrocolis. The Loan Mavoi said, the police were well aware that more girls wae ruined, and that more boys turned thieves, in consequence of the temptations supplied by those annual assemblages, thau from almost all other causes besides. The pleas set up in thew behalf were the maintenance of old English customs, and the enjoyment of the poor. But Fairs were instituted for the purpose of traffic at tude periods. when commerce was in its inianey, and travelling, except at stated period+, dangers's; and not for a mere assemblage of jugglers and buffoons. GUILDUALL Claxton, Turner, and Ira/duck, who stood charged with robbing Mr. Constable, of Clattibrisige - , hatter, of a quantity of fur sod un finished hats, and Were remanded fur the production of witnesses. who had been sent sir to Cambridge, were again brought up. It was proved that the witnesses had arrived from Cambridge, but could not since be found by the officers; it was supposed they coo. cealed themselves to avoid giving evidence against the prisoners. The Alderman declared that the ends of justice should nut be defeated,• and committed the three prisoners to take their trial, bpund over Mr. Constable to prosecute, and issued a warrant for the apprehension of tits witnesses in Cat;tbritige, to be brought up to give evidence on the trial. - - A young Gentleman was put bathe bar,in company with a young woman of respectable appearance, though it afterwards appeared that she was an impure. An cad watchman, of Castle Barna Ward, stated, that be tween one and two o'clock the night before he saw the prisoners in conversation in St. Paul's Church-yard. and desired them to move on. The Gentleman said they would not move or., they were doing no harm, and he (the watchman) had no business with them. The witness then threatened him if he did not move on, and the . Gentleman replied, that only witness was an old man he'd punish him. Witness immediately sprung his rattle, and then the Gentleman struck him on the ear. Other watchmen came to his assistance, and the Gentlensan and his companion were taken to the watch-house. The defendant being asked what answer he had to make to the charge? said, the watchman's story was quite false. He was re turning from the Theatre and saw the watchman grossly insulting the female ; he spoke to him, and then he began to abuse him. Witness then said to him, he knew be wanted him to strike him, but as be was a• old man, be would net do it. The watchman, who was so intoxicated that be did not know what he was doing, sprung his rattle, and witness and the female were taken to the watch.bouse. He there asked the constable of the night to allow the female to depart, as it was not alleged that she bad even spokes a word ? but the constable was also quite drunk, and refused to hear anything. Two Gentlemen, who bad seen the occurrence in the street, followed the defendants to the wateh•hoese to state the facts, bus the constable turned them both out, without allowing them toga!' a word. The Ar.nsxman told the defendants they were discharged ; and said, helsrould take care that the Ward should be relieved from ouch watchmen. BOW-STREET. An old Grenadier of the 'Third Guards, named William Marjor ie*, was brought up, at the instance of his wife, for cruelly beat ing her on the preceding night. The man has been frequently brought to the office for the same offence. He was, sr usual upon those occasions, under the influ ence of liquor. He broke in upon the narrative of grievances de tailed by his wife, with the most vociferous exclamations in his defence. In answer to the specific charge. he declared that he was driven to desperation by the 11l language of his wife, who charged him with being what no nun would bear to be called, without losing his temper and lik ritaloll. Under these circumstances. be certainly bad forgotten himself. He appealed to the Magistrates, as Gentlemen. whether it was possible for bins to act otberteise than he had done when so aggravated ? do conclesies, he declared that be had fought twenty.one years for his country, and served under the Duke of Wellington, at Waterloo; he bad at all chops given his wife half his pay, and yet she was the ruin of him by sending him to prison. Mr. Iliztanuu severely reprimanded the woman for the lan guage she bad used, and ordered the man to find bail. Marinicroft—How can I find ball? Sir Richard 131rnie, won't you protect me? I can't afford to go to prison and lose.my work. The dicers were about to lead him out of the office, when the prisoner, who is a tall and powerful man, prepared so make resist ance. He placed his back to the wall, and loudly exclaimed against the hardness of his sentence. . . . Sr R. Busts came down from hit seat, approached the cont. batants, and with difficulty, and much personal risk. succeeded In separating them. " Come," said he. " Marinactoft, you are an old soldier, and know how to obey the orders of authority—follow me." The Chief Magistrate then led the way, wholly unattended, out of the office, submissively followed by the refractory Grena. Bier, who, nevertheless, expressed aloud his suspicions that Sir Richard was going to lock hint up. Sir Richard having placed him quietly on a seat in the passage, to wait the arrival of his bail, returned to the bench. Yesterday, a young man named William Wes, dressed like a b. insurer, and having much more the appearance about him of honesty and hard work. than of one who is in the habit of making free with his neighbour's goods. was brought before Mr. llftestruxx, charged with stealing a box of linen from behind the cart of a Richmond carrier; and a singular feature in the case was, that he was appre hended through the instrumentality of his wife ; and that, not from a feeling of pique or revenge, which ofteh operates very powerfully upon women for a short time, but from pure honesty. The carrier, it appeared, was standing at a public-house, at Ful ham, refreshing himself and his horse, when the prisoner's wife came crying to him, and said she feared her husband had cut a Lox from his cart. and begged bins to satisfy her one way or the other. He soon found that a box of linen had been taken from behind his cart, and the wife immediately sent for it. and restored it to tlie carrier. Mr. Mutsu= asked to see the wife. and a very decent and ra ther pretty-looking woman stepped Coward, has' face bathed in tears, and curtseying ixodestly to the Magistrate, began by entreating mercy for her husband. She stated (not on oath) that he came home with the box in que-tion upon his shoulder, and feeling apprehen sive that he could Lot have come honestly by it. she questioned him very closely, but could get nothing satisfactory hens him ; and she ran out to inquire about it ?and seeing the errand cart, she concludsd that the box must have been taken from it. _ _ Mr. filmsin.s..—You are, in any view of the ease, an extraor dinary young woman. I'tay is he a good husband? Mrs. Styles, glancing through her tears a look of strong affection open the prisoner, said, " Poor fellow! Yes, Sir, as good a husband l as ever lived, and I am sure as honest a man as can be; but be has lately been troubled with a complaint in his head, and when he gets a little to drink, he does not know what he is about. This was the case when he took the box." Mr. Mixsautx..—H•sw came you to be the first to disclose his commission of a theft? Mes- Sitt—liecause, Sir, I know he would not have done it, I if he bad In his proper sautes; and I could not bear the thoughts of keeping anything far a moment that I knew belonged to other people. Mr. Munnutt..---You are really a noble instance of correctness of principle and strength of natural affection. I am afraid, however, that my duty will not permit me to take the explanation you have given as a sufficient excuse for the commission of a felony. I fear I must send hint to prison. Mrs. Styles.-0 dear, no, Sir, I hope not. Fray, pray, Sir, don't send hint to prison. The prisoner here began to shed tears, and declared that he never wronged a human being of a halfpenny in his life. and that he should not have taken the box if he had been in his proper senses. He bad no recollection of doing it at all. Mr. Ni ianatL said, he never felt more strongly the violence that a man was sometimes compelled to do to his feelings in the per formance of his duties as a Magistrate. His private feelings would lead him instantly to discharge the prisoner, but he could not suffer It to go abroad that a plea of drunkensess,or even of insanity, with out strict legal proof of the latter, could be taken as an answer to a clear charge of felony. "ffite prisoner was then taken from the bar to the leelr...upcoona, amid The wailing, of his wife. If we judged _rightly of the manner of the worthy Magistrate, it is pot his intention tetintately to send the prisoner for trial, but to teach him, by a taste of impristopeee ,tor a day or two, to have proper command OM himself to future. ug,,T,ON-27 • Tester thy , thfee shlyesterletta were •e ti:: S!iting Megtstvetes, charged with having shunted ti•.er.ozelvcs from the employment of Messrs. King and Edgar, ilaip-hviideis. Rather !tithe. Dlr. King stated, that scone mouths ago he has'. engaged the defendants tinder a contract to finish c vcssel thon on the.etprks, but they had lately left their work without completing the con tract, the vessel being atiftm the stocks. The defendants stated, that soon after they entered. into the contract, the sawyers in Messrs. 4ng and Kagar's easpleyment struck toe en ?tlvAnce of wages, an( obtained an advance of a shilling a day, and they thought themselves er.titled to the same. In reply to questions from the Magistrates, they stated that they had Ss. zd. a day, and that they subscribed Ss. a week each man to the support of the Union. The Magistrates, after some consultation, told the defen dants that if they did not return to their work they should be com mitted to prison. The defendants bearing this determination agreed to return to their work. King made application for warrants again.t ten other men, who had left his employment under similar circumstances.
