POETICAL STYLE-WHAT IS IT? 'cis that in which there's something said More than the words express; I.;ke the effect of light and shade In painting's scenic dress; Like mien and manner, when we speak, Like gestures In discourse; Like blushes on a Lady's cheek, That give her yeses force ! I.ike eyes, in which the speaker quotes Ilts subject's illustration— In which the sours true spirit floats, In Loveri' conversation; Like that soft tender look, that 'cheers And makes the babe to smile; A, i!s fond Mother wipes its tears, And kisses k the while! Sack like is Poetry : and hence, No ill& nor d?ep Nor sounding word, obscure of sense, Should turn it to confusion. The countenance obscure we view With doubtful eyes—nor truly Can we the ilarken'd page read through, Nor weigh its purport duly! BRIGHTON, Dec. 16.

The been Glendower, Commodore Christian, was lying at . the Cape. The Samarang and Martin were at the Mauritius. :The brig Eleanor had been brought from Delagoa Bay by the LeveA, having been taken from the Portuguese, who, because all the crew, except two • seamen, had died, deemed her a good price. iVhen the Espiegle sailed, tie Cape, St. Helena, and Ascension, were healthy. Colonel Nichols and the marine garrison have been unceasingly employed in cultivating the island of Ascension, and with complete success. The garrison supplied the Espiegle with 40 tons of water and a quantity of vegetables. C.blonel Bird, late Colo nial Ss•cretar y at the Cape of Good Hope, and Lieut. !Lithe' ford, Royal Engineers, came passengers in the Espiegle.

They mention that Captain CLAPPLRTON and Dr. DICKSON. with their party,'had visited Siert... Leone in passing. They started thence in excellent health and spirits, for the Benin Ray, r, at the nearest point on the coast to Sucattoo. It was considered very questionablo, nether the route which the expedition has now put-- sired fiotn Sierra Leone by the Benin River, or that tt rough the Foulah country, was the hest. By the latter, from the rr cent rapid increase of British influence, a sale conduct could now be obtained to within a short distance of Timtiactoo. But, by the Benin River, though there is no 11: hishinfluence on that part of the coast, or near it, the length of the journey is gteatly diminished. The officers and men who composed the expedition, anticipated nothing but a prosperous ternsi nati ii of their !about s.—Literavy Gazette. Saturday se'nnight, Master F.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Drc. 17. THORNTON V. HUNTER AND ANOTHER. This was an action for the use of a ship from this country to Rotterdam, and afterwards to Sincapore, in India. The defence was, that the charter W4S under a contract, which was abandoned by the Caoa'n, by his deviation from the prescribed course of voyage; and that, therefore, the plaintiff was not the proper person •o bring the acti:nt. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE left it to the Jury to say whether the charter-party had been abanioned or no-, and when a sew voyage began? and find accordingly. ,The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—the amount of damages to be referred. But on the question when the contract had been abandone,f, they retired to consult, as there was some difference of opinion. The Jury returned in about half an hour, fincing that the charter•party, had been abandoned et the nth of September, 1823, and finding for the plaintiff a:tet th.t time. LUKE AND ANOTHER V.

The Loan Cuter Jusitca applauded this advice, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff Or the balance. COCKNEY DIALECT. -e..- The colloquial language of the inhabitarts of Lon don has long been. the subject of remark and satire, and is known by the name of Cockneyism. Strange, how ever, as the London dialect may seem, and much as it has been ..busesr, it is the language Gf our ancestors, which has been singularly preserved in its purity ; and, as far as a ntiquity goes, it is easy to get this sanction col all those seeii.ing absurdities which mark the ordinary language of the metropolis—even to the redundant ne gatives, double superlatives, and that most singular o' all perversions, the substitution of the v for or, and vice versa. Almost every county in England has a peculiar dialect, and some districts speak a language nearly un intelligible. In the colloquial dialect of London there is a mixture of all these, with a variety of words and phrases introduced from abroad. Notwithstanding this Babel-like confusion of toNues, the great body of the language is Saxon. The transposition of the letters of v and w is the most prominent error of Cockney pro. rainciatiun, though 4 the exchange of letters of the same organ of speech is not unfrequent in many languages, particularly the b for the v. In the Province of Gas cony these letters are frequently substituted the one for the other, chick caused Joseph Scaliger to say, "fdices populi garibus, bihere est ?lure." In several of our old' authors we find the v and w used almost inditcrimi. nately for each other, particularly in the Romance of Sir Lieges, written in the 15th Century, and in the works , of Thomas Skelton, Poet Laureat to Henry VIII.' Among the Harleian MSS. in the British Museum, there is a collection of Poems in the hand-writing of , Skelton, in which we find lawgh, surwaye, and even detootoer er. The use of redundant negatives is, no doubt, borrowed from the French, whose je tsf gal pas" is erjuivalent to the Cockney's—" I don't know nothing about ib" The use of the double negative in England can be proved to be of old and even royal authority. In a proclamation for the apprehension of Sir John Oldcastle, his con tumacy in resisting the offers made to him is thus stated : " Be it known, as Sire John Oldcastel refuses, nor will not re ceive, nor sue to have none of the graces," &c. Chaucer, Roger Ascham, and even Shakspeare, afford us ex amples of this error. In Borneo and Juliet we have " A sudden day of joy " That thou expect:a not, tier I look'd not for." The " this here" and " that there" of the London citizen, is hut the ce.ci and ce-la of the French. The " ourn" and " yourn" of the Londoner, are the Saxon pronouns possessive, though we cannot say so much of "him" and "here" which are unquestionably " town made." Thus it will be seen, that the Cockneys are not chargeable with innovation, but with too partial an adherence to the ancient written language of the country. An Inquest was held at Doncaster on Wednesday, on the body of Elizabeth Bridlington, who died in con sequence of being severely burnt on the Ist instant.— The woman and her husband had ben indulging in liberal libations c f rum, and being intox'cated, the man I crawled to bed, but the deceased remained sitting up smoking a pipe, when she.set fire to her clothe.. Lust week, T. James, a g , nteel to king young man, was brought up to Guildhall, on the charge of tleserting his wife, and leaving her chrrgeable to the parish of Crippleg ate. The psis oter, it was stated, was formerly the principal clerk at a banki'g house in Lombard -street, but having an unconquerab e penchant for driving four in-hand, and associating with stage-coarhdrivtirrs, upon. some slight hint of the unbecamtngness of his conduct in this respect, from one of the. heads of the sem, he threw up his employmeht altogether,and entered him self as a regular stage-coachman upon the southern road.

M A NS . I N- lIOUSX.• , . The Loan Marna. on Saturday, resumed his investigation of the important queetions arising as to the right of baling, &c. on their iyer Thames, which was adjourned last Saturday. Mr. Haerner's assistant attended on b. half of the fishermen', and Ur. Saunders, the Water-bailiff, and a number of persons interested in the private preserves of fish,attended on the other side. After the Loan Marna had bestowed some time on the further investigation of the subject, heproceeded to state, that Tui had, dur ing the week, given It much consideration, and had consulted the City Solicitor, and the result was, that he did not feel himself justi , bed in taking the responsibility upon himself of deciding the p rots ' in dispute, especially with respect to an extension of about 1,4.50 1 yards, in what are ternied the " sleeps," being private preserves for fish, and he should, therefore, by virtue of his authority, as Coh servator of the river Thames, summon a Jury to adjust the rights of all parties. The Loan MAYOR very politely acceded to a request made by Mr. Harmer's assistant, that Mr. Harmer, on behalf of the fisher men, should h tee notice when the Jury was summoned, that the fishermen might offer evidence if they chose. 3lr. Harmer's assistant, on behalf of the fishermen, expressed his entire satisfaction at the course adopted, and begged, on behalf of hls clients, to thank the Loan MAros fir the great attention he had paid to the business. • GUILDHALL Mama" Gray WWI charged with defrauding a Suffolk miller, by paying a fictitious bill tot a quantity of Sour.—lletnandesl. BOW-STREET. Three Gentlemen, two of whom were of the medical profession,' were brought up before dir. HALL', to answer the complaint of :„ Drennan and Kcony. also practitioners in the healing art. From the stiacinetit of Mr. Merman it appeared that he is re siding in the Strand, and acts in the capacity of assistant to 31r. Kenny. Friday night, while he was in Mr. Kenny's shop, his attention was excited by voices in the street, directing a variety of elegant epithets, such as " scamp, blackguard," ficc. agai •st both himself and his employer. On going to the door to ascertain who the parries might he, indulging in these figures of rhetoric, be perceict•d three defend.ints, Messrs. Nolasi, Stokes. and Van %\' i; G the two former of whom be had some previous ac quaintat.ce• At this moment, before he bad time to inquire Whrrtin he had deserved so of them That they extoll'd him thus," he recdeed a blow from a pretty little bamboo, with which Mr. Nolan has 614t-trup the vacancy occasioned by the disuse of the gold lie:.ded article of old, the distinguishing characteristic and duke (fix t's of the profession. Mr. Vandeleur, whose acquaint ance he: had not previously had the happiness of possessing, in quired, at the same time, if he, Mr. Brennan, were not the au thor of a certain auonymous epistle which he then held in bis hand ? To both these Gentlemen he proceeded to give answers in kind, denying to Mr. Vandeleur that he knew anything of the billet, and at the same time returning a manual reply to the ruder attack of Mr. Nolan. It may easily be supposed that this controversy was not carried on without noise. Mr. Kenny, who was at that moment up stairs, recruiting after the fatigues of the day with a cup of twelve shilling hyson, beard the disturbance and hurried to the scene of action. His appearance divert►d the storm in some degree from Mr. Brennan, 11115411UC11 as Mr. Stokes ', instantly towed upon the new ally, and seized him by the collar of the cut, which be shook violently, utterly regardless as it should seem, that the owner was at that moment in it. The defence was repeatedly interrupted by all the pries talking together; but Messrs. Stokes and Nolan were held to bail• for the assault. MARLBOROUG H-STREET. Saturday, John Coombs was brought to this Office he Valentine, charged by Dr. Joshua Brooks with comitting a daring burglary in his house. Dr. Brooks repeated his statement (narrated in the Sraa of Saturday last), which he nude on Friday, when he ap plied for the assistance of the Police to apprehend the prisoner; ' and added, that the prisoner was in his service from May to July last, and be discharged him, in consequence of his absenting him. ' self from his house, which he left him to take care of for a few days when be (the Doctor) was absent in France and the Nether lands. He was positive the prisoner was the man .whom he dis covered under his sofa at eleven o'clock on Thursday night; and after the prisoner effected his escape, be (the Doctor) found a pair of shoes and a hat, wbich the prisoner had left behind him. An elderly female servant of the Doctor's said, that on Thurs.' day night last, about eleven o'clock, she heard her master in the hall, crying" Murder!" she ran to the / spot, and saw prisoner and her master on the floor, holding cad other, and rolling over each other. She believed the prisoner knocked her master down. A person named Styles, stated, that he was in Blenheim. street on Thursday night, and heard the cry of w Murder !" be saw a man rush out of the house of Dr. Brooks, without a hat ; he was satisfied the prisoner was the person. The prisoner, in his defence, said, that he was at home at the time he was charged with the fence in question, but becould not bring evidence of the fact, because he had - a key to his lodgings and let himself in, without being seen by any of the family. Valentine, the officer, said, the hat and shoes found in Dr. Brooks's house had been tried on the prisoner, and they fitted him exactly.. Mr. Dees, the Magistrate, said, it was a capital charge, and be would remand the prisonei till Wednesday, to give him an oppor tunity of bringing forward evidence in favour of his innocence. MARY-LA-BONNE. Saturday two women, named Conroy and iliekey, were charged with robbing Mrs. Hunter, of Charles -street, Middlesex Hospital, and also a Lady named Banster. The prisoner Conroy had .been but a very short rime in the service of Mrs. Hunter, when she dis appeared, carrying • ith her spoons, jewellery, and nearly the whole of the two Ladies' wearing apparel. An officer having been dispatched to apprehend her, he found the prisoners in the upper room of a house in Little Quebec-street, in a state of intoxication, and drinking with a hackney-coachnun, who bad been driving them about town all day. Conroy was dressed in one of the silk gowns she had stolen, and the duplicates of the property were found on their persons. They were remanded for a further examination. James Simkin, driver of one of the Hammersmith stages, was charged wkh furious driving. It appeared that the defendant was driving on the Hammersmith-road, in opposition to another coach, and his horses were galloping at such a rate, that one of the passen gers was calling for hint to stop, which be did not do.. The de fendant said that one of the horses only war galloping, it being • small one, not able to trot like the other. Several witnesses proved that there were two coaches on the road racing together, and the defendant's being one of them, he was convicted in the penalty of 40s. and costs. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Robson, a journeyman silk weaver, was charged with having in hts possession some silk, a harness and reed, which were alleged in have bean stolen from the house of James Longuett, another weaver, on the night of the 51st of October. This cue latterly occupied much of the Magistrate's time, there being no less than ten examinations, in consequence of a strong intspicion that I onguett himself had been a party to the Gloat ? of which the. Magistrates diScharged him ; hut as the property was, traced to t Rol)bou, he was taken into custody. Ills defence was, that the harness and reed had been in his possesaiow more than 18 months. It was however proved, that the reed had only been made LW August.— Remanded. . . ofFcers, known as Robin• Hood and Little John, went on Friday to serve an assault warrant on a brick- TrAker, in CLIBITT'S brick field, near Chelsea; but no sooner had they arrived, than the labourers set up the alarm cry of 66 War natal" The warranted man im mediately scampered across the field, followed by Robin Flood and Little John, who got upon an elevated part .el the .fiel3, and were Looking round after their fugi tive, ss hen they instantly sunk into a clay-pit, which was covered with rushes, and from which they were with diffi:ulty got safely out, having lost their game.
