~~ - N, THE ROSE AND THE BEE. The playful Bee each blooming flower explor'd— In wanton frolic dipt his golden wing: The beauteous rose supplied the luscious hoard, Unmindful of the plunderer's venom 'd sting. Those fragrant blushes bursting to allure The gaudy insects that around it fly ; While in the bud those beauties lie secure, Matur'd, grow pale, and hang its bead to die ! M. PORTER. THE SILENT MEMBER. Blackwood's Magazine. Under this title have appeared in " Blackwood's Ma gazine ' some admirable sketches of several of the lead rerformers of the " collective wisdom" interspersed with critical remarks upon the modern comedies and farces therein enacted with vast applause. We have noticed the sketches before, but in the last number of the magazine there are others worthy of being quoted. for instance, hear what the silent gentleman sayeth of ttie dictator : • But the Duke of Wellington—he is the man to stand up tor a friend. He does not mince matters. " Whatever is is right" with him in these cases. " For my part," raid the noble duke (and he looked round the house as if he felt that when he declared a thing was white no one the must presume to call it black;) " for my part," said lie, " I cannot see one derogatory word in any part of that letter ! My noble friend certainly intended it as private and confidential. It was a correspondence alto gether of a private nature, with a person on a foreign sta tion ; and if other persons think fit to lay hold of such letters, and make out of them what they like, I must say that public business cannot be carried on at all." Really ! I " must say," my lord duke, that had I been one of the peers to whom you thus addressed yourself, I would have endeavoured to enlighten your grace as to the language which a minister of the crown, a servant of the king and the nation, ought to use upon any subject which the House of Peers " thought fit to lay hold of," adopting your own classic phraseology. I would also have laid hold of another " private and confidential letter," written to one Dr. Curtis, a Catholic priest, and asked your grace whe ther you saw " one derogatory word in any part of that letter ?" Or whether that, too, was to be covered by the mantle which you threw over your noble friend's let ter, when you said he was not bound to answer for the construction which others might put upon the language contained in it, or for the sentiments of other persons upon the subject ? This defence, by the bye, was twice urged by Mr. Bankes in the course of his speech. I take it, therefore, as a defence whose validity is recognised by his majesty's government. Ido not quarrel with it. It is .fair and reasonable. But why is it to be made a mo nopoly ? Why are others to be denied the benefit of it ? Why did not his majesty's attorney-general, that paragon of constitutional lawyers, recognise its validity in the case of Mr. Alexander, as well as his majesty's prime minister in the case of my Lord Ellenborough ? I sup pose, however, had this question been asked, your Grace would have met it with your standing reply, " I do not feel myself called upon to argue that point ; ' or by your other standing reply (for your oratory is copious), " I must say I do not see the force of that argument." One word more upon this piece of official cozcombry, and I have done with it. The story of the flea-bitten traveller at Stony Stratford must hereafter be accounted the dullest of all dull jokes, upon inconsequential reason ing. Lord Ellenborough has eclipsed it for aye. " I should suppose," said he, in reply to Lord Holland, " that I was one of the last men in the countrz wbo could have been charged with a wish to interfere with the independ ence of the judges." Why ?.—Pray guess. Do you " give it up ?"—Listen. " The station which my noble and learned father held ought to have protected ma from such a charge !! !" Lend me your ear, my lord, and let me whisper in it : your noble and learned father's title was hereditary, but not that which earned it. Shakspeare, or Milton, or Newton, might have been father to a first rate blockhead (Sir Thomas More was, and we remember what he said to his wife on the occasion)—and if that same blockhead, being accused of stupidity, had replied, " The talents which my celebrated father possessed ought to have protected me from such a charge," would not the answer have been a better certificate of his dunce hood than the unanimous decision in its favor of a whole university ? lam enough your friend, my lord, to wish that this argument had remained a " private and confi dential" opinion of your own.' On Sir Charles Wetherell's flagellation of Sir Whig Scarlett our "silent member" thus hazards Newgate `And now, one ward to you, Sir James, upon your de fence this evening. You have had "an ugly customer," as the pugilistic phrase is, to deal with. Sir Charles Wetherell fights like a windmill, I allow; and in the course of his rambling, unhinged, dislocated speech threw his arms about in a manner particularly inconve nient to an antagonist who wanted to get close in, and pummel his argument with the knuckles of bar practice. But, to my thinking he gave, nevertheless, some con founded hard knocks, right and left, and a great many straight forward facers, not only to yourself, Sir James, but to certain friends on your side of the house. And you could not rally, Sir James. No, not a bit of it. You fought off from your man. It was a grand, consti tutional set-to on the part of Sir Charles, which you tried to convert into hugging and fibbing. In short, you were in the House of Commons, and not in the King's Bench, and where the wig and gown give currency and authority to any thing, no matter how vapid, how " stale, flat, and unprofitable." You' wore not surrounded by junior barristers, whose sluisking countenances reflect the full-blown cosi , datum of your own ; there were no sleek attorney. sitting below you, with upturned eyes in placid asto nishment at your eloquence, nor a dozen plodding shopkeepers before you, wondering how you can be at once so long, so learned, and so loud, in your ad dress to them. You were not on your own dunghill, and your crow was a craven one. But let all this pass, and let pass the pompous inanity of your self-assumed, one-and-indivisible supremacy, as the sole arbiter of the fete of writers. I shall confine myself to your repeat assertion, that you considered the licentiousness of the public press so great, that in the discharge of your official duty you were bound to bring the offenders to punish ment ; to make an example of the principal delinquents. Could you have borrowed an angel's tongue, Sir James .could all the rhetoric of all the orators of Greece, and Rome, and England, have flowed from your lips—could all the wit, and wisdom, and argument, that ever swayed the .minds of men, have concentrated in your own —you must have failed in proving what you asserted, so long as the evidence remained of the partial and exclusive elm.' hider of your proceeding ; so long as one man, min pe t ty, only, was placed upon the floor of the court by your means to receive judgment, while it was, and is, notorious, there are others whom you have not, and one whom you w ill not, place in the same situation. What should we say to a general who began a campaign with announcing that he intended to overrun a certain territory, laying it waste with fire and sword, and who, when he had reduced a single frontier town to ashes, laid down his arms without firing another gun? Why, that his ostensible were not his real intentions, and that the former were put forth only as a subterfuge, a trick to conceal the latter. You denounced a sanguinary war —you made formidable preparations—you breathed fierce menaces—you pro claimed to A, and B, and C, and D, and E, that you were about to make a dreadful irruption into their territo ries with an army of ex-officios, all veteran troops, a bat tering train of heavy briefs, and a tremendous corps de reserve, or rocket brigade, of fines and imprisonments. " Look to yourselves !" you cried ; " you are all equally guilty, and upon all I will take equal vengeance !" But after this bluster and braggadocio, these burly Bobadilisms, this swagger, and this rodomontade, had gone forth, lo ! your operations were a mere month of March, which, as the proverb has it, comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. No, no, Sir James, the purpose, the only pur pose, the undeniable, the paltry purpose, is to gross, too palpable, and stands too indelibly recorded against you. The legality of your proceeding I leave untouched. That part of the question has been handled by Sir Charles Wetherell in a way to make Westminster-hall ring with laughter at your expense. But you have one consolation. Sir Francis Burdett is your apolog ist . It was kind and charitable in him. He affects to deprecate the party ap pellations of whig and tory. But his defence of you proved two things, that his moral perceptions of right and wrong are influenced by a whig friend in distress, and that in some men the mind totters before the body.' • I ~,. . .. i• SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. PEM BERTON stated this to be an information Sled at the suit of certain relators against Mr. John Hutton, and (inter alia) it prayed a reference to the Master, to settle a scheme for the future arrangements of this cha rity. Under the will of a charitable archbishop, who I lived in the sixteenth century, a free grammar-school was established, an hospital, and certain alms-houses, upon an estate called Marks, in the parish of Warton. The charity had, through various hands, at length de volved into those of Timothy Hutton, the ancestor of the present John Hutton, and there appeared to be two sums, one of 241. and the other of 221.135. 4d. which had been applicable for the support of this charity. In process of time, however, the charity gradually dwindled away, until in 1808 it ceased to be conducted as a free gram mar-school. The scholars were suffered to go unedu cated—the hospital was occupied by paupers, and the alms-people gradually died off. Mr. Hutton, however, still continued to receive the 241. and 221. 13s. 4d. a year, and, in 1815, Mr. Hutton doubted his liability to pay any part of the money. At length, this charity fell, with others, under the cognisance of the Com missioners of Charities, and the matter was then fully inquired into. When summoned before these com missioners, Mr. Hutton expressed strong doubts w h e th er he was li able to pay any portion of either of these two sums of 241. and 221. 13s. 4d. but admitted, that from the years 1795 to 1815 be had paid the ' 221. 13s. 4d. It was under these circumstances th a t thi s . _ _ _ information bad been filed, and the question was whether Mr. Hutton ought not to be declared liable to pay both those sums from 1815 to the present time, with interest at 51. per cent. upon the balance, with annual rents during the whole of that period ? Mr. Hutton, it appeared, was a banker, and had kept these moneys in his hands, with out an attempt being made to account for them. The Learned Counsel said, he should be sorry to use harsh language to any man, but he could not avoid stigmatising such conduct as most fraudulent. For a period of fifteen years this money had, without any pretence, been retained, and the charity had been deprived of the benefits arising from the money, now accumulated to a large sum. This could not be stated lower than about 6001. which, added to the interest, would be something more than 1,a901. Mr. TINNILY', SS counsel for Mr. Hutton, admitted that no account had been rendered since 1815 ; but the sum was so small and trifling, that it might well have been overlooked without any intention to defraud. Mr. Hutton had no such object as was attributed to him, and vas now willing to account before the Master, if the Court should think proper. It was, however, hoped that the Court would not compel the payment of interest, either with or without annual rests. The MASTER of the ROLLS, without hearing any re ply, immediately directed a reference to the Master to settle a new scheme for the future management of this Charity. Could the Court entertain a reasonable doubt, but that Mr. J. Hutton was liable to the payment- of the whole sum, from 1815 to the present time ? For a cen tury before 1815, when the payments ceased, the sum ' bad been regularly paid, and Mr. J. Hutton could not but be aware of the fact. He could in no manner be justified in retaining either the 241. or the 221. 13s. 4d. and ought now to be made accountable. His Honour then declared that the estate of Marks was chargeable with the pay ment of these two sums, and directed an account of tho Charity from 1815 to the present time, with interest at 51. per cent. and with annual rests during tho whole of that time ; and the costs of the Attorney-General, the heir at law, and the Minister, to be paid out of the estate. The Master was also to approve of a scheme for the fu ture management of the school, and the appointment of a Warden and Governors, as required by the will of the founder. _ _ Mr. Ti ?IN LY asked if the whole costs were to be paid by his client ? The MASTER of the Rotas : Yes, Mr. Tinney, the whole costs. Your client has occasioned the whole of these proceedings—has kept this money under a most unreasonable pretence—and must pay the whole costs of the suit. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE LEATHER-SELLER.' COMPAN Y. There were three informations involved in this matter, all filed against the said Company. With respect to the first information, the short facts were these :—ln Sep tember, 1601, a charity was formed by Mr. Rogers, and land had been purchased for the purposes of the charity. Of this, a lease for 65 years, at a rental of 981. a-year, had been granted, and had expired in 1813. Since that time, another lease had been granted, at an increased rent of 2311. a-year, but the whole produce of this cha rity had been four college exhibitions, making in the whole about 641. a-year, so that the remaining sum was I wholly unapplied. Mr. PEMBERTON, who opened this information, said that the object was to have an account, and to compel the proper application of the moneys. Mr. BICKERSTETH, On behalf of the Leather-sellers' Company, stated that there was no intention to defraud, or to deprive the charity of that to which it was entitled; but it so happened that the Company were in possession of the funds of various charities, and the different sums had, for the sake of convenience, been apportioned, and divided, and while some charities had more, others had less than otherwise would have been given them. The whole of the charities being taken together, it would be found that the Company had rather exceeded than less ened the total amount. His HoNova, in respect to this individual charity, directed an account of the moneys applied since 1813 for the purposes of this charity. The Court would (if the statement were found to be correct) of course make al lowances for any over-payments made in respect of other charities. Similar directions were then given in respect to the other two charities, which wore similarly circumstanced with that of Mr. Rogers, and the Master was to approve of a new scheme with respect to all of them. lISI.LOD, D. MLNET AND CO. This bill was filed against the defendant under peculiar circumstances. Under his father's will, Mr. Mellor be came entitled to five per cent. stock to the amount of 4,5001. and becoming embarrassed in his circumstances, was induced to enter into a contract with Cooper, to sell the reversion of the sum to him for 1,0001. Deeds were accordingly prepared ; but Cooper, with the view of con cealing the real nature of the transaction, got the plaintiff to make the consideration money 1,5001. more than the sum actually given for it. The plaintiff was at the time in confinement, and, compelled by his necessities, was induced to execute the deed in question. Subsequently to this transaction, Cooper had dealings with the defen dants, Minet and Co. and a sale was made of this rever sion to that house, for a sum considerably above what Cooper had given for it. This bill was therefore filed against the defendants, to rescind the transaction be tween the plaintiff and Cooper, as well as with Minet and Co. His Honour granted the prayer of the bill, and com mented in strong language upon the fraudulent nature of the transaction as concerned Cooper. Minet and Co. were perfectly exonerated from all suspicion ; but as they had purchased the reversion under such circum stances, they could not be permitted to adhere to the purchase. The prayer of the bill was therefore allowed with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAy 6. (Sittings in Banco.) _ . _ The Grand Jury for the County of Middlesex was sworn. Mr. Justice Bayley gave them the usual di rections, and informed them that nothing extraordinary was likely to come before them. Sir Cockburn, as surveyor of Marines, and Mr. D. Wilkie, as Portrait Painter to the King, took the oath and declaration required by law. THOMPSON V. This was an action on a policy of insurance of the ship Commerce, at and from Savannah to Liverpool. The ship sailed down the river and struck on some old wrecks, but not being supposed to have sustained much injury, she continued the voyage for two days, but leaked so much that she put back to Savannah, where she was well examined, and found so much injured that she could not well be repaired for the voyage, owing as well to the want of materials at the place and of workmen at the tinie, as to the injury she had sustained. She was then sold by auction, and the owners proceeded against the under writers as for a total loss, giving credit for the sum for which the vessel sold, being the value of the timber. A London jury thought the owners entitled to recover, and found a verdict for the plaintiff, which, on motion to set aside, the Court refused to disturb. WILKINSON V. HOWELL. Action for a malicious arrest. The plaintiff had been arrested for 4,0001. but before the case came on for trial a stet processus was recorded by consent of the parties. Then the action for a malicious arrest was brought; but the Judge was of opinion that the stet processus was a bar, and nonsuited the plaintiff, and, on motion, the Court refused to set aside the nonsuit. CAVE V. LORD DALIIOVSIE. This was an action by army clothiers against the de fendant, as colonel of the 26th regiment, to recover a sum of about 5,0001. Payment of the money was proved, except as to a balance of 2391. But evidence of facts and circumstances was produced to show that if the plaintiffs did not choose to trust the defendant's agent, they had the power to have stopped the issues of the clothing money from the war office, and thus secured payment to themselves; and, also, that they had had dealings with the agent, from which it might be fairly inferred that they trusted the agent, and not the colonel. This last evidence was left to the jury as discharging the defend ant altogether, and the jury found for the defendant. A new trial'was molted for merely as to the 2391. but the court refused the rule. The Committee upon the Rye election assembled yesterday for the purpose of considering their decision. In consequence, however, of General King being unable to attend, through indisposition, the business was ad journed till this day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. IHAI7gOI7IOuSE. Two young men, named William and Eduard Clarke , set, charged with having stolen the sum of 144 L 9s. 9d. the prope.ety +neared the Mr. Wilson, a merchant, residing in Devonshire-square. Th e ' the sons of a respectable citizen, lately deceased. It y " r e r, Wm.

On Monday he was lent to the Bank with notes to the amount of 1441.9 a. 9d. About half past three o'clock the same afternoon he came to the Mansion-house end inform e d White, an officer, that he had been robbed of the above sum. Ilt appeared to be incapable of giving an account of the way in which be lost the money, and said he could not obtain the numbers of the notes. lie said be had dined at a public-house in Threadn ee dk. street, which was found to be the fact. The officer said that he ea. a strong wish to inquire about the numbers of the n otes, be• pleased always found some excuse for delay until nett 5 clock, and then he said, if they would go to Si r W. C urt i s ' s, t h ey might ob. tab the numbers. At that establishment the desired infotmation obtained; but the Bank was then shut. It was afterward. found, that at a Bub before five o'clock some of the notes received from Messrs. Curtis's bank had been paid into the bank. o n „, &mining William Clarke's dress, it was found that he had pockets in his coat, and no waistcoat upon him. The per sdr. who presented the notes at the bank gave the names of Jones. John-street, Oxford-street; but no such person was known there The sister ache prisoners lived in that street. William Clark, had eleven shillings in his pocket when he applied to the dims, anti he bought a new waistcoat. On examining the lodgings of the pri. miners, in Whitemoss-street, it was discovered that they wer e in great l e i tt s= and in &rear for rent. Edward had a new h at and which be said he bought on Tuesday, but he had no money. William Clarke said he lost the money when h.. went to dinner, and Edward said he knew nothing about it.—Th e , were remanded. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a young roan, named Benjamin Buller, a clerk town traveller to Mr. Sibley, of Maiden-lane, Wood-street, Chea,, side, was by his employer with various acts amber:ler:lent The evidence 3n cases weregone into, and Mr. Sibley said he could substantiate other charges on a future day. The prisoner s s remanded. BOW-STREET. Mr. John White, one of the King's messengers, complained or having been obstructed by the toll-collector of the tumpike.gste L. Smallbury-green near Brentford. Mr. White st a t e d t h at h e s.ts dispatched that Morning from Windsor, with the Bulletin of hi. Majesty's health, addressed to the Duke of Wellington. He bite a chaise and four, and took the opportunity of having a friend with him. On arriving at the Smallbury.green !gate, however, the col. 'lector demanded the toll, and although he (Mr. White) stated that he was a King's messcager, and produced the official token of his office—a silver greyhound, bearing on it the Royal Arms—the toll. collector demanded the toll on the ground that he had another per. son with him in the chaise, who was not officially employed hr his Majesty's service. Sir R. Bawls said, the toll-collector had acted decidedly wrong in obstructing a King's messenger far a single moment, b ut b e did not know how he could be punished, as he had not taken the toll The insignia of that office was well known, or ought to be, to ev er y turnpike - man in the kingdom ; and as to Mr. White having a friend in the chaise with him, he did not see what possible difference that could make. Sir R. Binile added, that if such an obstruction shouid occur again, the best way would be to pay thc collector, and suit. mon him before a Magistrate. Jolts Barnes, late under-butler to the Marquis of Bath, who was Padwith stealing 500 L worth of plate from the mansion of thc Marquis, was again brought up and fully committed for trial. The evidence taken against Harding, the policeman, for car— miffing an assault on Mr. Mallard, the Magistrate, having bse,, transmitted by Mr. Burnaby, one of the principal clerks of Bow. street Office, to the Commissioners of Police, yesterday a comma. nicatlon war received from the Commissioners of Bow-street office Oati, that so satisfied were they of the misconduct of Harding. that they had suspended him from his situation till after his trial t.r the offence at the Sessions.—Mr. Mallard has expressed his deter. mination to prosecute. Three young men were charged with having been found prrhling in the _parlour of the Duke of Wellington p u blic-h ouse i n W yc h -st Sir R. Brawrz observed, that the offence was committed by th • landlord of the house, in permitting cards to be played on his pre. oases, contrary to the tenor of his license. The young men had committed no offence which a Magistrate could punish. The landlord of the house was then called forward, and stated. he was not aware the young men bad need the cards, which had by accident been left upon the table. Sir R. BIUNIZ observed, that publicans committed a very griev ous offence in permitting young working men to gamble In their houses. An information was then directed to be laid against the landlord, and the young men were ordered to attend to give evidence when the cue came on for hearing. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Elder, horseAdesla sad job-msoter, of Orford -street, yester. day appeared for re.eitaminadon before F. A. Rot, Esq. charge_ with having defrauded Mr. Yahwism: of two rises. The Solicitor to the prisoner remarked that Mr. Elder was wi ling to pay for the horses. Mr. Awor.raws, on the pan of the prosecutor, advised t's parties to retire. He had no objection to their endeavouring to setd, it if male. TM parties retired. Mr. Elder consented to pay 1001. the valid of the horses. IMPUDIINT FILILUDIL—An Italian, who has been defrauding the public fora length of time, was yesterday brought up for re-exam.. nation. The particulars appeared in our paper of Tuesday. Mr. Ponten, hatter, of the Strand, attended yesterday, and statr‘i that the prisoner had been using his name for a twelvemonth at bottom of his petitions. He had never authorised him, and the 1.4. nature purporting to be his was a forgery. Chival, head officer of the Mendicity Society, produced a host of wtlions, all drawn up in one form, but varying in the signatures of Mr. Freshffeld, of Throgmorton-street, and Mr. Penfen. Th: officer, in conclusion, observed that he had no doubt, If the case FM to stand over, that the records of the Mendicity Society would tablish a ease against him. Mr. Rot regretted that the only case which had been brouzi forward was out of his jurisdiction, as it had taken place In thetal. The prisoner should be remanded for a week, to give time for more evidence. UNION.HALL.
