Thou'rt leaving me without thy voice, In a lonely home to dwell; And from the hills, and from the hearth, And from the household tree, With thee departs the lingering mirth, The brightness goes with thee. But thou, my friend. my brother ! Thou'rt speeding to the shore Where the dirge.like tone of parting words, Shall smite the soul no more ! And thou wilt see our holy dead, The lost on earth and main ; Into the sheaf of kindred hearts, Thou wilt be bound again ! Tell thou our friend of boyhood, That yet his name is heard On the blue mountains, whence his youth Pass'd like a swift bright bird. The light of his exulting brow, The vision of his glee, Are on me still—oh still I trust That smile again to see. And tell our fair young sister, The rose cut down in spring, That yet my gushing soul is filled With lays she loved to sing. Her soft deep eyes look through my dream, Tender and sadly sweet ; her my heart within me burns Once more that g to meet ! And tell our whire•haired father, 'Drat in the paths he trode, The child he loved the last on earth, Yet walks, and worships Goo. Say. that his last loud blessing yet Rests on his soul like dew, And by it► hallowing I trust Once more that race to view. And tell our gentle mother, That o'er her grave I puur The sorrows of my spirit forth, As nn her breast of yore! Dopy thou art, that soon, bow soon! Our good and bright will see ; Oh! brother, broth, r, may 1 dwell Ere Wog with them anti thee ! F. H. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sm. 13. Elizabeth Richards was indicted for passing a base Shillitip,on the 29th of July, and a counterfeit sixpence on the folloaing day. Sleigh, a police officer, said he saw the prisoner go into several shops; he followed her into one, and asce►- taii,ed that die had passed a bad shilling. She then went nit:, another, where she endeavoured to pass a shilling ; but the wour‘n to whom she offered it ridiculed the attempt to deceive her, observing, that if it were dark she would know the quality of a coin by its feel. Whilst be was inquiring into her success at tiros last shop, she made her esca; e, Fut Was taken into custody the next day by another officer, in the attempt to pass a bad sixpence. The CHAIRMAN asked Sleigh'wby he did not arrest the prisoner when he ascertained that she had passed one counteifeit shilling, instead of giving her the oppor tunity of committing another crime? Sleigh—Why I thought to make out a case against her. The CHAIRMAN—You knew that she had passed a bad shilling ; it was ycur duty to take her into custody. I don't understand this system of allowing persons to go at large for the purpose of e: tieing them to be guilty of another offence. This is nor the way to prevent crime. Let nie nut hear of such a thing again. The prisoner was tound Guilty, and sentenced to 12 onths imprisonment. Seven. hackney-coachmen, named Stone, Phillips, Hayden, licadshell, Brickley, Wilson, and l readwell, weir indicted for a riot and assault.

In a short while, the whole neighbourhood was in an uproar, and on same officers being sent for, Phillips exclaimed, " D—n my ekes, let's have a row." Accordingly, with the aid of another party of hackney-men, who subsequently ar rived in two coaches, a general row took place; in the course of which the officers were assaulted in a most brutal manner. Every effort was made to apprehend the ringleader, but only the parties before the Court ere taken. It appeared, however, that Wilson and Treadwell were not engaged in the riot, but that they swod all the time at their horses' beads. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Stone, Phillips, Hayden, Headshell, and Brickley; and Not Gully for Wilson and Treadwell. Stone and Phillips were sentenced to six months im prisonment.
