Oh ! kiusfest thou why, to &times drives, When Iftiendship weeps the patting Your, Pe simplest gift that mama given, Long, long retains $ magic point? Still, when it meets the wising view, Can half the theft of Time retrieve— • The scenes of former bliss renew, And bid .each dear idea live? It boots not if the pencird rose, Or aver'd ringlet, meet the eye ; Or India's sparkling gems enclose The talisman of sympathy ' Keep keep It for thg'sake IN • On Fancy's ear still breathes the sound ; Neer Time the potent charm shall break, Net loose the spell Affection bound On Wednesday se night, in the Isla, a little below Ruthven-bridge, two young women, accompanied by a lad about 16 years of age, who were travelling home, had to cross the water by a bridge formed of the trunk of a tree. The lad and one of the women had passed ; but the other, when about half way across, turned giddy and called for help. The young man seeing her on the point of falling, immediately ran to her assistance and caught hold of her clothes, but the benevolent attempt proved fatal to himself, the weight of her body dragged him into the water, and they sunk immediately together. The bodies were ibund some time after, in the very spot where they had fallen, deeply imbedded in the sand. An unfortunate occurrence Pately happened near Ballachulish slate quarries :—A boy aged seven years, set fire to a barrel containing about 601bs. of powder, by the explosion of 'which he was shockingly mangled, and expired in a few hours after. The barn in which the powder lay was totally destroyed, but fortunately no other damage was sustained. Mr. HALL, of Broad-street, Soho, was killed on Tuesday. on Barnes Common, while endeavouring to stop his horse, the bridle of which he ha& taken off to let the animal . graze. He received a severe kick from the horse. Mrs. H. was carried to Barnes work house, much hurt, being thrown out of the chaise. Wednesday a most shocking accident occurred to a young man. named Edwaial Dudley, in the employ of Mr. Jackson, butcher, Bond street. The young man was in the slaughter-house, and was runiiittg after a sheep with a knife in his hand, with the inten tion of killing it, when in passing a railing to which was affixed a number of hooks, one of them entered one of his eyes, and completely removed it from the socket. He was taken to St. George's Hospital in the most excruciating . pain. Yesterday morning a shocking accident occurred at the sugar-house of Messrs. CRAVEN .and Co. in Duncan street, Whitechapel. O. Taylor, an old man, a painter and glazier, in Lar.an-street, Goodman's- Eelds, while repairing some windows on the third storey, slipped his foci% and was precipitated to the ground. lie pitched on his head, fractured his skull. and was conveyed to the London Hospital where he died. The following fatal accident occurred a few days ago, in the Lower-road, Deptford :—The two infant children of Mr. JAMES PEI:NY, of Deptford, were in. trusted to the care of a youth to be taken out for an airing in a small hand-chaise. The boy, fatigued with drawing the vehicle, requested permission of a man who was driving a cart with one horse, to fasten the chaise for a.few minutes to the tail of the cart ; the man consented, and it was attached accordingly. A few moments afterwards, i spirited horse, which was drawing a cart, took fright, galloped towards the little carriage, in which the children were riding, -and before it could be detached from the cart ran over it, and crushed it to pieces ; one of the unfortu nate children was killed on the spot, the other was taken home lacerated and bruised in a most shocking manner. CORON ER'S INoorsys.—Wednesday an Inquest was held at the London Hospital, High-street, Whitecha .. pel, on the body of Joseph Chandler, aged 17.—John Hickmot, surgeon's beadle at the London Hospital, said, that the deceased was brought there, on the 10th ir.star.t, with a dreadful concussion of the brain, and without hope of recovery ; he was quite sensible the day following, and stated the following story to wit ness :—That being in bed he got up in his sleep, thinking that he heard sonic one telling him the house was falling ; he ran to the window, on the second floor; which had no shutters ; he inimediatcly threw up the sash, and jumped into the street. About two o'clock in the morning the watchman coming to his assistance, gave the alarm, and he was ° taken into the house, having perfectly recovered his senses, and • being conscious that-it arose froin nothing but a, dream. In the fall Ite pitched on his head. He died or. Tuesday last, from the injuries he received from the fall ; the inflammation of the brain caused delirium: Verdict—That the deceased came to his death acci dentally. by jumping from a two pair of stairs win dow, while asleep. A second Inquest was held at the Plough, Sal snon's.buildings, St. Ann's, Limebouse, on the body ' of William Galuley, a fine boy, between two and three years of age, son to Mr. Galuley, green-grocer, of Salmon's-buildings.—Wllliava Front said, he keeps a chandler's shop, at the corner of Wilson's-place, Salmods-buildings, Limehouse ; Tuesday morning, about twelve o'clock, he was standing in his shop, be hind the colmter, and was alarmed by the screams of somebody in the street, which induced him" to run out to know the cause, when he saw the deceased in the arms of his sister, a irlls years of age, who was crying, and said—" That the child had cut his' own throat with a knife." The blood was gushing from a wound which witness observed on the throat. The deceased was taken to his mother's house. The blade of the knife was about three inches lung, and had been formerly a ease knife ; but converted into an oyster knife, and was sharp-pointed. The sister of the deceased told witness that the deceased had the knife in his hand, and falling down on the pavement, the 'point of the knife struck through his throat.— Verdict —Accidentally cut his throat with a knife. A child, eleven months old, was drowned in the flat of a butter firkin containing only a few inches of water , on Monday, in Calmall-buildings. The parents had put the child out of bed early in the morning to play about the room, and they were asleep when the accidat WlPPened• Pillion. Atkins was indicted for stealing from the dwelling house of H. E. Smith, two ditches, four teen guineas, a great number of 75. pieces, two £2 notes, and other property to a large amount. Henry Edward Smith resided at 42, Duke-stree t; Golden-square. On the 14th of the present month his house was robbed. It was then in a state of repair. John Cooper, a carpenter by trade, was employed to do some repairs in the house of Messrs. Smiths. Witness employed the prisoner in the house as a car penter, and had employed him for eleven days pre vious to the robbery. Samuel Hill, a stone-mason, was employed at the door-way of the house of the prosecutor. On the 14th of October he saw the prisoner go up stairs, and presently he came down again and went away. James Leg was also employed in the house, and on the day mentioned in the indictment, saw the pri soner go up stairs. Frederick Cooper, son of the former *itness, saw the prisoner at a drawer in one of the rooms. He was directed to follow the prisoner up stairs, and also saw him go out of the house. Mr. W. H. Smith said, that in consequence of in formation he had received respecting the robbery, he went after the prisoner, and found - him on board a ship in the London Docks. He was searched, and a considerable part of the property was found upon his person. Shaw, an Officer, produced two silver watches, and some guineas, which were found upon the per son of the prisoner The prisoner said in•defence, that he went into the mom where the property was for a chisel, but never committed any depredations, The prosecutor again called, said, that no repairs had been done to the room where the property was. The prisoner was apprehended, together with his trunk, in an outward-bound ship in the London Docks.—Some witnesses were called to character. The Jury found a verdict of—Guilty. Mr. Baron GAAROW observed, that it was a very proper verdict. It was not to be suffered, that meit like the prisoner, who were thought trustworthy, should betray that trust with impunity. William Knight and Edward Evans were convictel of stealing from the person of Joseph Lawe, a watch, at %Thitechapel, on the 20th of Septembe r. It ap peared in evidence, that as Mr. Lawe was proceed ing along Whitechapel, be was all at once surroun ded by about 90 persons, among whom were the twol prisoners at the bar. In an Instant he missed his watch, and 52W it handed from one to the othe?, un til it was quite put of sight. The prosecutor suc ceeded, after a considerable struggle, in apprehend ing the two prisoners. i‘lr. Justice DALLAS, in addressing the Jury, highly commended the conduct of the prosecutor, who had by his presence of mind and activity, succeeded in securing the two prisoners at the bar. These despe rate gangs of pickpockets very much infested White chapel ; and it was but too often that they succeeded iu committing their nocturnal depredations without interruption. The public were very much indebted to the prosecutor for his conduct on this occasion, and in bringing these two young men to justice. The Court ordered the prosecutor, who was a poor man, to be paid his expences. Peter Fligan and Mau Stevens were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Catherine Willes, and stealing therefrom a carpet and a gown. The prosecutrix, on the Ist of October, at about eight in the evening, left her house, and fastened the door. When she returned, in about half an hour, she found the property had been stolen. A pawnbroker at Whitechapel proved that the fe male prisoner, who cohabited with the man, pledged the carpet at his shop on the 2d of October; and a salesman proved that the male prisoner offered to him for sale the duplicate of the carpet on the same day the property was pledged. The Jury found both the prisoners Guilty, but re commended them to mercy. Mr. Baron GAItli9W-•-" Upon what ground, Gen tlemen, do you make that recommendation r The Foreman—" Because the actual burglary has not been proved in evidence, although the property u as certainly found to have been in the possession of the prisoners." Mr. Baron GAnnow—" tf you think so, Gentle men, I advise you to re-consider your verdict. If you think the burglary eras not committed by the pri soners, of course they must be wholly acquitted." The Jury considered for a few minutes, and re turned a verdict of—Guilty, against the male pri soner, and acquitted the female. Mr. Baron GAnnow expressed his approbation of thn verdict. Charles Dell, agedlB, was found guilty of stealing a quantity of goods, in the house of William Lee, High Constable of Westminster. He was iecom mended to mercy ; but the Reno:max said it could not be attended to, as the prisoner had tren before' convicted of felony. Charlotte Appleton, aged 2.6, was indicted for steal ing privately, in the shop of Edward Coles, a piece of printed cotton.—Guilty of stealing, not privately. Thomas Morris was indicted for stealing a Bank Note for the payment off 40. the property of Andrew Hiscock, in the dwelling-house of John Gunter, Esq. The prosecutor is coachmar. to Mr. Gunter, and the property in question was placed in a trunk in an out-house belonging to that gentleman. The pri soner lodged in that out-house, and was A carpenter by trade. On the 12th instant the wife of the prose cutor having occasion to go to this trunk, and not being able to get it open, asked the prisoner to open it for her. The prisoner complied, and a shilling was taken out by Mrs. Hiscock. In about a week after► wards, having occasion again to go to the box, she missed the £4O note in question. Jones a salesman, living in Holywell-street, Strand, stated, that on the Sunday after the 12th instant, the prisoner came to his shop and purchased a quantity of wearing apparel, amounting to 81. In payment he tendered a 401. note, giving the name and address of " Wallis, Fulham." This was written upcin the note, but witness suspecting something wrong, asked the prisoner whether be knew any eae in town. The prisoner immediately referred him to a person resid ing in St. Clements, but refused to go there with the witness. The prisoner was allowed to go away, with the 401. note. James Morris, brother of the prisoner, stated, that on the 13th of October, he was sent by the prisoner to get change of a 401. note, but did not obtain it. Mrs. Simmons deposed, that her husband kept a woollen-draper's shop, in the Strand. On the 13th instant the last witness came to her shop for change f* a 4.01. note. Witness suspected that it was a bad note, and promised to send her young man to the Bank for change. To this the prisoners brother con sented, and the young man went to the Bank, ob tained change for the note, and himself absconded with the money. The note was produced by a clerk of the Bank, and was completely identified. The prisoner, who appeared to be a very respec table man, said nothing in his defence, but laid him self upon the mercy of the Court. A great number of witnesses of respectablity gale the prisoner an ex cellent character for honesty; some of them had ' known him for 16 years. Mr. Baron &ARROW said, that the capital part of this charge was done away with in this case. The property was stated in the indictment to have been stolen in an out-house, belonging to Mr. Gunter, at tached to the dwelling house. If this were really the case, the capital charge would be made out; but it appeared that the building called an out-house, was so distant from the dwelling house, that it could only he considered as a separate building. The prisoner had received a good character, but character could (only have its weight where doubt existed of the fact. The Jury found the prisoner—Guilty. Bow-svanrr.--Yesterday a full and final exami nation of the parties concerned in the atrocious rob bery of Mr. Clulow's house in Camden-street, Cam den-town, took place before Mr. CONANT, the Sitting Magistrate. The particulars of this most frightful scene of iniquity and crime have already been given in our Paper of Friday hut. Stephen Morris, the watchman, and James Dennis, the uncle of Joseph Braid, the footman to Mr. Clulow, were placed at the bar as the principal robbers ; and Michael Levi, as an accessarz after the fact. Joseph Braid, the foot man, and lamma Owen, the cook, who had been in custody till yesterday as offenders, were, for the sake of public justice, admitted as evidences for the Crewn and their testimony against the prisoners was receiv ed upon oath.• The watchman, in his defence, said the footman bad sworn falsely in many instances, par ticularly as to the spoons, as he had bought them of him ei*hteen months since, fur El 13s. The other two prisoners made no defence. They were all cons- ni:tied for trial. CUILDIi AL L.—Yesterdiy George Brown was char ged by Mr. Cutler,' house- painter, with leaving his work in an unfinished state, after obtaining 10s. on account. The prisoner said he had been ill, and was ready to repay the money he had received. It appear ing that this was not the first time he had been char ged with similar offences, the Magistrate committed him to hard labour for one month. QVER SQUX ay, T. Brooks and. T. Shirley, dray men to Mr. Elliott, the brewer, were fined 10s. each, for riding on the shafts of their drays. The informa- , ' tion was laid by a poor man who kept a stall in Para d:se-row, Chelsea, which they rode over, and de•' stilled 2111 his little property : and he having himself attended, by placing his stand in the street, he could sain no redress, and to be revenged, he laid this information. MA RLSOROTJOII• STREZT.—Yesterday an applica tion of rather a singular nature was made to the Ma gistrates at this office. The applicant stated, that he appeared on behalf of Wm. Northey, Esq. He saidl that Mr. Northey's cart had been taken from his door by the Inspector of Pavements, because the ashes burnt at Mr. Northey's house were about to be con veyed to an estate of that gentleman's in the country. The Magistrate said, by the late Act of Parliament no one could use their own ashes ; they were the pro perty of the contractor ; and if any person attempted to remove them, they were liable to the penalty of £lO. The Magistrate added, that the Earl of Coven try, Marquis of Worcester, and other Noblemen, had been similarly situated, and had found it necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act. The appli cant paid 101. into the hands of the Clerk to await the conviction. The cart was ordered to be restored. UNION llALL.—Yesterday .1. Warner, a baker, of St. John's, Southwark, was fined £5 for having sub carbonate of ammonia in his possession, to mix with bread. 7. Cooper, a youth residing at Newington, was yes• terday taken before a Magistrate for Surrey, and fined 20s. for letting oil squibs in the public road. A gang of robbers have been recently most ac tively at work• in Kent. Within the last few weeks fifteen burglaries have been commi:Led in the parishes of Newnham and Linstead, near Canterbury. Tues day night, the house of EDWARD HASTED, Esq. (a Magistrate) at ilollingborn, Kent, was broke open a n d plundered of plate, jewellery, cash, and coins, to a very large amount. The villains obtained an en trance by untiling the roof of the house. Same night the house of Mr. SPRINGATE, at Linton, Kent, was broke open, and 18 pieces of Irish linen, two chests of tea, and a great number of articles of grocery, were carried off. On the 18th inst. as A. Tyrer, gardener to Mr. Carver, farrier, of Prescot, was returning from his master's farm, in Eccleston, near Liverpool, an Irish man asked him if he could change him half-a-crown? The gardener answered, he had only half-a-crown and a sovereign. The Irishman said—" Faith, then, I must have them." The gardener replied—" You won't." The Irishman then aimed a blow at his head with a bludgeon ; which he warded off with his arm, and knocked the Irishman down. A struggle ensued, by which the gardener got possession of the bludgeon The villain then snapped a double-barrelled pistol at the gardener ; but both missed fire. The gardcnet then seized the pistol, and forced it from the Irish man, in doing which cr.e of the cocks was broken.— The Irishman then drew a knife, and attempted to stab the gardener ; but it struck one of his buttons, took a slanting direction, and cut his coat and waist coat a little. At that moment Tyrer observed two men running towards them, whom he supposed were the villain's accomplices ; on which he gave the Irishman a very violent kick on the face, and then made off with the pistol he bad taken, which was loaded with ball.
