Zr VERSES To the Memory of the Rev. WILLIAM Gmursets, who died hi the loth year of his age, and the 20th of his Miniftry, at the Manse of Kens, in Galloway. In peace may the wild beast repose in Miden, And gaily the wild bird may sing on the tree; All nature be joyful in valley and glen— Bot fur hearts lone and breaking no gladness can be. For the Lord of her bosom a Lady is weeping, Its Death's chill embrace he is slumberingnow ; The tear of keen anguish her swollen eye steeping, For with him in the grave all her hopes are laid low. With ceaseless emotion fond sisters deplore him— A brother so generous, so tender, so kind ! )Jay Heaven, in its mercy to calmness restore them, And heal the deep wounds of each sorrowing mind """ Nis dock, all despondent, are scattered abroad— Ab ! who with such calmness shall point out the way.... The path that conducts to the bosom of Gott— To the kingdom of Coeur—to the regions of day? Dear friend of my father! we long shall bewail thee— Thou ever wart true in the dark hour of sorrow ! But nothing, alas! can our weeping avail thee— " On the night of the grave" there awakens no morrow ! No morning awakes till the last awful day, When the perishing Skies shall in flames disappear— When Ocean and Earth shall like wax melt away, And the wicked be covered with trembling and fear! Then, then shalt thou rise from thy bed in the dust, And with glory and gladness away thou soak wing To the land of that SAVIOU& in whom was tby trust— With Hut in the heights of His Zion to sing ! Dairy. - - ANNA. In 1800, Mr. Gillespie was appointed assistant to his father, and six years afterwards succeeded that revered and venerable Clergyman ; so that fur more than a quarter of a century he filled the pulpit of his native parish, and every year endeared himself more and more to his numerous parishioners by his private worth and public usefulness. In the wide circle of relatives and friends his death has left a blank that cannot be supplied; and within our brief recollection, we are not aware of any event that has spread a deeper gloom over the South of Scotland. About three months previous to his death, his friends had to congratulate him on his union with a Lady to whom he had been long and ten derly attached ; and his funeral following so close on his bridal, while it forcibly reminds us of the uncertainty of time, adds not a little to the sentiment of regret with which, under any circumstances, we deplore the loss of a public character cut off in the very prime of his days, and amidst the fairest prospects of domestic happiness. In all that regards the domestic virtues—and where is there a truer test of character ?—Mr. Gillespie has not left a better man behind him. With those who were dear to him, he would have shared the last farthing he possessed in the world, and, throughout life, acted more the part of a parent than a brother, to the respective members of his own family. As the friend and pastor, he was remarkable for the uniform cheerfulness of his dicpesition,. and that pleasing urbanity of manners, which distinguishes the Gentlemad from the mere scholar. :Put, even in this last character, he yielded to few men of his rank and standing ; his range of reading was very ixtensive, and his public discourses were marked by a warmth of colouring, and a depth of pathos, which often find their stay to the heart, when the most elaborate reasoning faOs of its aim. As a poet, be has been long advantageously known by his numerous contributions , to the literature of our country. The " Progress of Refinement," " Consola tion," &c. are obviously the productions of a superior mind ;—a mind that delighted to look through nature up to nature's GOD, and paint the ever varying aspects of the beautiful and truly romantic district in which PRoVIDENCE had fixed his abode. Yes, the memory of Gillespie is intimately associated with the 'scenery of the Glenkens, and few, if any of his numerous friends, that appreciated his genius, learning, and taste—his buoyancy of spirits, and singleness of heart, will fail, on visiting the banks of the Ken, to heave a sigh for the asperity of his fate, and moisten, unnoticed, the turf ith a tear, that folds within its bosom his mortal remains.—Demfi les and Galway Courier. LOVE AND LAW IN FRANCE. A young woman, at Paris, brought her lover, a mi• litary spark, a few days since, before the Police Cor rectionnel, on a charge of the most criminal abuse of confidence. The following were the facts: Towards 1816 Antoine Mantran, then Voltigeur in the 8d Regiment of the Garde Royale, became inti znately connected with Marie Bernard, and promised ber marriage. This intimacy continued six years; during that time the young soldier obtained loans from his mistress, who took receipts, and finally obtained from him in exchange, for forty receipts, one general acknowledgement upon stamped paper, for a sons, amounting to 2020 francs. In the course of the year 1823, Mantran, upon the point of obtaining his dis charge, found means to purloin the acknowledgement from Marie Bernard's porte-feuille and make it light his pipe. He soon after departed for his own country, and contracted an advantageous marriage. His father was a Member of the Municipal Council of the Com. l mune of Ramat, and he was called to a considerable , fortune. The deserted mistress, whom Mantran in his o.gres with his drunken companions, called Little Marie, having endeavoured in vain to obtain a reconciliation, preferred her complaint. Mantran, cited to appear before the Tribunal, came to Paris. His Advocate, M. RaNAUD, contended that no value had been received fo the bill f 2020 francs, and said his client believed he had the power to destroy it. The Tribunal condemned Mantran to a year's im pi isnninent, and to pay the 2020 francs, with interest since 1h23. During the gale of the 7th insr . a fishing boat belong. ing to a fisherman named Hodge, of Southprt, was dri• ven to the shore at Old Isle, near Hoylake, on the ate sh're coast, when all on board, four in number, perished. Three of the sufferers were fishermen, the fault!) was a Gentleman from Manchester, who had accompanied the others from Southport, on what he ant;cipated would prove an excursion of 'pleasure.

SPECIAL JURIES. The following Circular has been addressed, by direc don of Mr. Secretary PEEL, to the different Clerks of Pe:ty Sessions throughout the country, with the •iew of obtaining for the administration of public justice, the full benefit of the Act of last Session, relating to the summoning of Special Juries. " WHITEHALL, Serr. 12, 1826. SM-Mr. Secretary Pim having learned that in some counties due attention has not been paid to those provisions of the Act, 6th Geo. IV. chap. 50, which relate to the return of persons to serve on Special Juries, particularly that the description of " merchants" has been improperly given in the jury-lists to inferior persons, to whom it does not belong; and that, notwithstanding the care taken to promulgate the Act, in thciast year, many Magistrates were not aware that, by the Act, the power of correcting suth misdeocrip tions, as well as of reforming other errors in the lists, amides in the Justices of the Peace, at their Petty Sessions, to be for that pur pose held in the last week of September ; I am directed by Mr. Pim to request, that at the Petty Sessions for this purpose. in the present month, you will call the attention of the Magistrates present to the whole of the 10th Section of the Act, and especially to the great importance of taking care that persons, not properly quali fied to serve on Special Juries, do not, by means of misdetcrip tions given to their names in the Jury Lists, become liable to serve thereon. " The Legislature, in giving to the Justices in Petty Sessions this power (which belongs to them exclusively) of correcting the Lists, deemed it so important, that it erpressly empowers them, in cue of ' need, to cause notice to be given to the parties of any alteration appearing necessary, and to adjourn the Petty Sessions for the pur pose of deciding on it. And the 45th section imposes a penalty, not exceeding XlO nor less than 401. on every Churchwarden or Overseer who wilfully inserts in a Jury List a wrung description of any man therein named. " Mr. Pixy. is confident that due attention to these provisions will In future prevent all complaints on a point so intimately con nected with the administration of public justice. " I am, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant, (Signed) " O. R. DAWSON. " The Clerk of the Petty Sessions." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A Mr. Dunn applied for the Magistrate's assistance under the following circumstances ; He owed a Mr. Sims Al, and Mr. Sims had sent a stranger to applicant, a Mr. Earlidge ' to order 211. worth of goods by a certain day, when they were to be delivered at the Three Crowns, Dowgate-bill. He took them there, saw Mr. Ear. lidge, who asked for the invoice, and was desired by him to wait a few minutesi until some friend who understood shoemaking should arrive to eaamine the workmanship, and then the money should be forthcoming. In the meantime, however, in came Sims with an officer of the Lord Mayor's Court, who seised the goods, under handsattachment, as the property of the applicant, then in the ands of Earlidge. This possession was but a constructive one, from the invoice being in learlidge's hands, the applicant retaining the goods until he should see the cask. His Solicitor had informed him the possession of Earlidge was not such a one u would make him a garnishee. Sir Pavia LAURI; under the advice of the clerks, said be could not interfere, because there was no felonious intention. The parties were perhaps liable to an action for trespass or for a conspiracy, but be mast refer him back to his Solicitor for advice as to that. GUILDHALL Wes. Drown, a miserable looking creature, was charged with ob. strutting the highway, by carrying a placard before and behind him. The placards were produced, and set forth that an extraor- I dinary detail would be found in a Sunday Paper. It commenced Fact: Tea eras osihi Magnates / Dreadful appearance of a troubled ghost in the Church of St. Magnus." The Parish Clerk of St. Magnus said, the prisoner was parading about Fish-street-hill, collecting a crowd; and when he questioned him as to his employers, he could obtain no satisfactory explanation. He carried him before the Loan MAYOI with no better result, and after that to the office of the Newspaper, where be got but quirks and quibbles, and he therefore brought the prisoner before the Alder man to be punished. There was no foundation far the story, nor were there auy parochial squabbles, or other circumstances, whereon to ground a squib of this sort, if such it were. The prisoner now said he was employed by a person in York street, and was to have 2s. for his day's work. The Alderman warned him that he was liable to a fine of M. for parading about with these boards; but as it was his first offence, he said he would overlook it. BOW-STREET. POLTG ore.—Yesterday, Edward 2Wlasi Jarvis, who was remand ed last week on a charge of polygamy, was brought up for re examination. Not only the Office, but every avenue leading thereto, was crowded to excess. Two of his wives attended, one of whom was in deep mourning, and appeared to be much afilicted, and far gone with child by the prisoner. She was averse to the prosecution,not wishing to have it said that the father of her child bad beep transported. Mr. Macduff appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Humphries for the prisoner. Mr. Macduff commenced by saying, that he would prove the first marriage by identifying the handwriting of the subscribing witnesses who were now dead, and the handwriting of the prisoner. Sir R. Blame—Did not wish to dictate his duty to the Solicitor, ibut he should first prove the death of the subscribing witnesses. Mr. blacduff said that he should be able to do so, and called J o hn G e orge Leigh, Deputy Register of St. George's Church, Hanover-square, who produced the certificate of the marriage of Edward Jarvis to Rachael Pearce, on the Mk of December,l797. This was signed by J. Ash, then Curate of the parish. The subscribing witnesses were T. H. Thompson and Cabal Gseville. This witness proved the death and handwriting of the two subscribing witnesses, and ako that of the Clergyman; could not, however, swear that he was dead. Charles Macduff deposed to the prisoner's ltaidwricing, acknow ledging that marriage. Mr. Macduff said that he would call John Stratton, to prove chat he saw the prisoner's first wife three weeks ago. John S:ratton was then called, but did not answer. _ _ Mr. Maeduff said, that Mr. Stratton attended last week, and h a d I then stated, that he could give the evidence now proposed, but as he had not attended he would call another person who could give testi mony to the same effect. - Jahn Powis being sworn, deposed, that he lived in London-house yard ; was a builder; the prisoner had worked for him; knew him to be a married man fur four years; saw him walk with his wife and son • saw his wife within this year; bad been introduced to her by pri soner's son. Mr. Humphries—He may be an illegitimate son. Mr. Maeduff did not care for that—there was suScient evidence of his first wife being now alive. Miss Finlayson was then called to prove that she saw the pri soner', wife ; being sworn, she said that she knocked at the house of the prisoner in August last, in consequence of information which r she had previously received ; she asked the woman who bad opened the door, If she was Mrs. Jarvis? who replied she was, and as a proof of It referred witness to St. George's Church, for a certificate of her marriage to prisoner, which certificate witness produced. Hr. Humphries—Was the prisoner then present? Mr. Macduff—That matters not. Mr. Humphries submitted, that anything said of the prisoner in his absence could not be admitted as evidence aginst him. Mr. Nl4duff—That may be in other cases, but not in such as this—he then observed that John Stratton I=4 given his evidence last week; on referring to the book, this was found to be the case, Mr. Halls being on that occasion the sitting Magistrate; the sub stance of which evidence was, that he had seen the wife, son, and daughter of the prisoner within these three weeks. Sir RICHARD MINI' said, there was now sufficient evidence of ' the first marriage ; if it did not amount to demonstration, yet it afforded a strong presumption, such as would warrant him in sending it to a Jury, if they could prove any subsequent marriage. Mr. Macduff then produced certificates of the prisoner's mar riage to Miss Whitehtrst on the 3d of July last, and with Mrs. Gray on the 10th of August following, at the Church of St. Mark, Kennington. These marriages have been clearly established, as appeared on a former occasion. All the parties were then bound over to appear at the next Mid dlesex Sessions, to prosecute the prisoner on the above charges. When he was removed from the bar, the crowd in the passages leading to the office pressed forward, eager to obtain a peep at his person. A great number of females were among the crowd, to many of whom It was said be bad paid his devotions. Mites Whitehurst, it seems, is the most attached of those be has deceived. She provides him in prison with every necessary corn fort, and continues to visit him with a singular devotion, consider ing the manner iu which he has deceived her. lie contrived to obtain from Mrs. Gray, with whom he con tracted the last marriage, the sum of 2001. ten days before the marriage took place, although the marriage settlement stated that he was not to obtain any money until the ceremony was first per formed. This Lady had at her command upwards of 5001. besides a leasehold property, which the settlement said she was to dispose of by will. This proviso, however, not agreeing with Mr. Jarvis's notion, he applied to the Solicitor to have it altered, and the old woman was weak enough to consent that the property at her death should revert to Jarvis. A very short time after their marriage, it seems, he flattered himself that she was about to die; for, being called on sudden business in the country, he actually wrote a letter to a Mr. Crutibley, of Camden Town, saying, that if his wife should die in his absence, he was to bury her aU convenient dispatch; and it is positively asserted that he put his first wife, his son and daughter in mourning, in anticipation of that event, telling them be had lost an old maiden aunt. M A RLBOROU G H-STREET. Mary Ant Pam, alias Lady Bar/yes/we, who was only liberated last Tuesday by the Goal Delivery, as is usual with her, immedi ately on her liberation paid her respects to one or two persons, which led to an introduction first to Guildhall, than to Bow-street ; and being again set free on Thursday morning, die was found in the evening by Webb, the beadle of St. Ames, " giving a benefit" to her western acquaintances. With the abler assisessee, in the King's name, be brought her to blarlbilroosbltro, at the evening sitting, whence she was sent to Totids.ifebie risen to abide 1111 neii Sessions, unless two respectable housekeepers will answer in the sum of 201. :act, to our Sovereign Lord the King, for her appearance then and there, to answer what may be dieted against her. Yesterday Mary Maley and Mary Stewart were charged before Mr. Cosam—the former with stealing, and the latter with re ceiving, a box of linen, a Bible, and a Prayer-book, value ses, the property of some Ladies who assemble in the •estry of St. Clement Danes, for the purpose of assisting poor married women when con fined. The things had been obtained fraudulently, on pretext of one of the women's approaching confinement, and were afterwards pawned.—On her first examination, Stewart appeared very bulky. The change of air, and a week's residence in Tothill Fields, have produced a •isible alteration, which Mr. CONANy remarked to her. She owned to being very much smaller, but insisted she was still with child. MARY-LA-BONNE. Yesterday, Marlin Nickel's was brought before Mr. BAOIIIIIIIOX, for a final examination, on the charge of having committed a rape upon the body of Bridget Foy, a girl 13 years of age, his step daughter, being the child of his wife by a former husband. At the first examination, on the 15th . inst. Bridget Foy deposed, that she was one of four daughters of the prisoner's wife, her two sisters, fifteen years of age, being twins, were named Jane and Mary ; she bad a younger shier, who is provided for by the parish. She said, that on Wednesday, the 25d of August her mother left their lodging (a second Boor, in a house in Hermitage -street, Pad dington Green) to go into the country, and left Mary end herself at home with their father-in-law ; and that, before her mother went, she cautioned her never to admit of familiarities from her father-in-law, for he had threatened to make four four daughters. She went on to state, that soon as her mother was gone, her father-in-law sent away her sister Mary to her uncle's (Francis Foy), in Union -court, St. James's where her sister Jane was, by which means she was left alone with him. Her father in-law and mother used to sleep in the front room, and Mary and herself in the back room. The same night, as she was going to bed, and had taken off her clothes, excepting h er petticoat, her father-in. law came into her room and asked her who ordered her to prepare two beds ? She said no sae. He said one bed was sufficient, for she must sleep with him. He dragged her into his room, forced her into his bed , and with great violence perpetrated the ;rime of which he was accused. She did nor cry out, because he prevented her by stopping her mouth with his hand and with the blanket.— She remained in his bed the whole night, and did not leave it until be was gone to his work. After she got up, she want to washing, and hung her clothes upon a line in the yard. She then went to her sister Mary, informed her of what bad happened, and brought her back with her. She did not inform any one else, because she expected her mother back the following day, or the day after. Her mother returned from the country me Saturday, and being informed of the circumstance, she took her and her sister to a surgeon on the following day, and had not slept with their father-in-law since. She farther stated, that, to prevent Mary appearing against him at this office, her father-in-law had sent her off to Ireland ea the following Tuesday, by one of the Paddington boats. - Mr. Robert Coacher, of New Church-street, • Lisson-grove, examined the girls ; he was certain no violence bad ever been com mitted upon the elder one. Circumstances were rather different with respect to Bridget, bat he believed her situation would have been very different if such an assault had been so recently conk mitted ; and therefore, in his opinion, it had not taken place. The evidence of Mr. Rogers, a master builder, who kept the house in Hermitage-street, and Mrs. Rogers, was of a similar ten dency. The girl's story was told and repeated so circumstantially, connectedly, and with so much apparent simplicity, that Mr. Buoyant°, expressed himself astonished at the conflicting nature of the evidence, and in order to obtain the testimony of the mother , who was ag ain gone into the country, the prisoner was remanded until yesterday. Mrs. Nicholls lived nine months as wet-nurse in the family of the Rev. Mr. Bernell, at Iver, and is just returned, at Mrs. Boswell's 'request, in her service agai n, as dry-nurse. She stated, that her husband bad always been steady and kind, not at all addicted to women • when she was absent, out of small earnings he has sent her con si derable sums; she damn caution Bridget not to admit of familiarities ; she never thought he would offer them ; and he never threatened to make her daughters prostitutes, but frequently said their conduct was likely to bring them to that condition. At first she believed Bridget's story, and would not hear what her husband had to say in his defence, and it so disgusted her that sbe has not slept with him since. Now she is convinced, from what the surgeon said, that the charge is unfounded. The two girls, Jane and Mary, were sent to Ireland by her desire, because her sister there will maintain them; the determination was made before the alleged crime was said to be committed, and Bridget was to have gone with them. She bad been a great trouble to her—she had repeatedly robbed her employers, and was a notorious story-teller.—This was warped by Mr. Taylor, of Southmolton-street. Mr. Kelly, of Paddington, gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter; he bad worked for him between six and seven years, and bad been a watchman for four years in St. Pancras Parish, with an unimpeached character. Gibbs. the officer who apprehended him, stated, that he came very willingly to meet the charge, and Mr. With°, a parish officer of Mary-la-bonne, said, Nicholls applied some time since for a pass to Ireland for the three girls, complaining particularly of Bridget, who, he said, stayed out at night, and associated with a parcel of boys. Mr. Baotioneow.—l never knew a case .involved in so much mystery t the girl in public, and with me in private, with tears in her eyes, as she is new, has told a clear and connected story; if it be not true, there never was greater wickedness; those are works of darkness, and therefore an eye-witness is not to be expected; but as you (addressing the prisoner) possess so good a character, and I do not consider the evidence strong enough for a Jury, I shall leave the case between you and your MAIM', and discharge you. QUEEN-SQUARE. Madelina Commons, residing at No. 2, Theatre-place, Stangate-strtet,Westminster was put to the bar,when Mr. Davidge, of Henrietta.street, Covent (Judea, stated, that the prisoner came Ito board and lodge with him about twelve weeks ago, repieseutino herself as a German Lady of high birth; tbat Prince T.enpold dts her guardian, and that Mr. Rothschild had money belonging to her to a .considerabla amount ; she had also an account at Messrs, Coutts', to who= she had lately advanced twenty thousand pounds, as a loan; and, as vouchers for her respectability, she 'hewed wit_ ness an immense bundle of documents, duly signed and sealill by Foreigners of distinction, relative to her possessions in Germany.... From the plausible manner of the prisoner, witness trusted her for board and lodging to the amount of 141. ls. lid. but when he res quested a settlement, she expressed herself indignant at his impe l , tinenre in troubling her about such a trite, and quitted ht 4 lodging. He then called on Messrs. Rothschild, who proclaimed her an im postor. At the time of her quitting, a pair of socks, which were hung to dry in her room, were missed, and lie now charged heron suspicion of having stolen them. The IAOIPTRATIt remonstrated severely on her mode of conduct, which he said would speedily bring her within the walls of a pr e son ; but as the present charge was not sufficient to detain her, shi must be discharged. THAMES POLICE A Cyprian, who gave her name Afary Anne Johnson, was put re the bar, charged with robbing Captain Gordan, of the brig-snow Anne, of his watch, chain, orals, and key. Captain Gowlan stated, that on Thursday evening, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, be was passing along Rateliffe-high. way, when the prisoner accosted him, and wanted to accompany him. He declined it, and on his so doing she gave him a pipti from her, and snatched his watch and appendages, and instantly ran off. He then gave an alarm. The watch was a silver oi);, and the chain, s.*.h, and key were gold, and those now produced are his propertl. Thomas Boyce, a watchman, stated that he was on his beat he. tween the hours of nine and ten o'clock, when he saw the prisoner coming up. He asked her where she was going to in such a hurry? She said, to King David's-lane. Immediately after he heard a cry of" Stop thief !" and another watchman coming up, he pursued the prisoner, and took her into custody. On his bringing liar to the watchhouse be found the watch, chain, and seals, in her bosom.—.. One of the seals had been lost. The prisoner told him that this Captain had given them to her. She made no defence, and was fully committed. By a decision of the new French Minister of the In terior, the Custom House of Bourdeaux will hencefor ward be open to the importation of books. Thursday morning a quantity of plate was stolen from the pantry of Mrs. General Popham, in Serie street, Portman-square. About four o'cl , ck in the morning Mrs. Popham heard a noise, but not appre hending mischief, she gave no alarm ; nor was the dis. covery made until the servants came down at tsieir usual hour. Mr. Griffith being made acquainted Kith the circumstance, sent Stowell, the officer, to examine the premises ; when he found a skeleton key in the area gate, which the thieves had left behind them ; the kitchen door had been opened by means of a centre-bit. The thieves had hung a table-cloth before each window to prevent the light being seen, and they had evidently retreated by way of the front door. A fine infant male child, a few days old, belonging to a woman of the name of Hobson, residing in For street, Top Close, Leeds, was found smothered in the bed on Thursday morning, in consequence of her hus band retiring to her! in a state of brutal intoxica. ion. ' Twenty-one persons, including the don( r, were re galed with roast beef, padding, and ale, at the Bell lnn, in Oakham, on Tuesday, whose united ages amounted to 1,579 years, an average of upwards of 75 years each. Twenty were resident labourers of the place.
