THE GAMESTER. !ROM ACKIIRMANN'iI " FORORT Ma NOS," FOR 1827. ST UR& CORYWILL SAUK WILSON. See where the Victim stands!—not crown'd with Sowers, But composed round by fiends :—his haggard cheek, His beamless eye; what tell they? Of lost boars. With mute, but dreadful eloquence they speak! Of fame and fortune blighted, lopes betray'd, And all the fearful wreck one durishl eke has made! Hark to yon hollow laugh of &aerate mirth, That while it fires the brain, and lights the eye, Sounds the last knell of peace; owing its bbrlb To the fierce pangs of mental agony. - • 'Ti. the convulsive joy of wild Despair Wrung from the tortured heart—a joy that Demons share ! Oh, love of play ! so called to Fashion's phrasal, Slighter of social hearts and ;baulk! hours ; Canlerer of manhood's fair abd opening days, That but for thee bad else been strewn with lowers; Thou direst passion of the human heart, None but a master's hand can paint thsk u thou art! Oh ! vice of all most hurtful to the soil, Climax of ev'ry ether vice—the mind That 'nee acknowledges tby fell contrail Spreads desolation round it ; like the wind That sweeps the desert in its phased wrath, Shedding where'er it breathes destruction in its path! Oh. vice of all most deadly ! on th shrine Nature's soft links, Love's sweet and holy ties, Fall early victinss--all the bonds that twine • Around man's heart, light upoksacrifice More cruel than on Beasnab's Mood-stained pyre, Where Hindus mothers joy to see their babes mire! Fame—lsonour—fortune—eff are swept away, Ali swell the gen'ral wreck,:—why stands he SW A ruin`d, hopeless wretch?—Eta breaks the day, He gotta the scene of plunder ;—in his ear Ring the still rattling dice ;—.ltis throbbing brain Is crowded now with thoughts, that ne'er shall rest again! Rushing with horror, through the silent streets, • And shrinking from himself, be seeks his coma! • (Once 'twas a happy one) :—his pale wife greets Hie eriak'd return with smiles;—bow can man rosin Went woman's calm en9earments to partake Those scenes that of his soul a leafless desert make? lins has hsten'd with a beating heart To very passing footstep—Sea has told Rack linering bour's dull chime with frequent start And tears that none might chide and ogee behold; And she has her infant in its sleep, Fraying that Heaves from hist such fatal vice may keep But now she meets the Lost-one with a smile That would seem cheerful, lave that her pale brow And faded cheek tell other tales the while Of sufferings which bee lips will ne'er avow : Fondly she clasps the wanderer to her breast— Alas ! not wen sums can his wreck'd heart and rest !

THE ARMY. A Detachment bekaging to the 54t► Regiment et Infantry, has waived orders to embark this morning as board a saans.vesest in the River, for Gravesend, as route to Chatham. Detachments belonging to the 6th, 13th, Seth. and 41st Regiments of Foot, are ordered to embark this morning on board a steant.vessel Is the River, fur Gravesend, an route to Canterbury. A Detachment belonging to the 31st Regiment of Infantry is ordered to embark this morning as board a steam-easel in the River, for Gravesend, on route to DeaL A retachment belonging to the Sad Regiment of Foot is ordered to march this morning from Westminster for Brighton. Detachments belonging to the 4th Light Dragoons, and the 6th, 13th, 35th, 41st, and 60th Regiments of Infantry, arcked in town ea Sunday morning, from Scotland, on route to join their ' respective Corps and Depots. According to the French Papers, the Russian troops stationed in the Crimea have been embarked on board the squadron commanded by Admiral Gam. for the pur pose of being conveyed to the mouth of the Phasis, and employed in the Persian war. Lieut.-Gen. WORONZOM one of the Russian Plenipotentiaries at Akermann, has set off with all speed to hasten the departure of these reinforcements. Politicians are at a loss to know the cause of the aggression of Persia. It is likely to prove fatal to the SCHAH, as he can never be able to make head against the hardy warriors of the North, and he will ultimately be obliged to indemnify Russia for the expenses of the war, and give her an accession of tern. tory in his dominions. It appo irs, by the Etoile of Sunday, that the opening of the French Chambers is fixed for Tuesday, the 13th of December. Besides the project of law already an nounced fur restricting the Press, the Forest, and a new Military Penal Code, a law is to be proposed to improve the institution of Juries, and another to regulate the food of individuals detained in prison for debt. If to these be added the Financial Statement, the Budget, and several administrative laws, the Etaik is right in saying that the Session will be a laborious one. With respect to the nature of the intended alterations in the law con cerning the Press, the Rolle professes complete igno rance. They are now discussed, it only informs us, " with no less setresy than attention by the Council of State." As it invites those who wish to know more, "to study English Legislation," it is probable that the law will be assimilated to ours, complete liberty of publica. Lion being allowed, but every man bearing the respon :ability of his writings. Whilst the Legislature of France is preparing to deliberate, that of Belgium has already begun to act. We published the Xing's Speech on opening' the States General, eight or ten days ago, and now find 'that in Its sitting of the 24th inst. the Second Chamber voted a favourable Address to the King by a m jority of sixty-three against three. This, address was then sent to the First Chamber,by whom it was discussed on the 27th, and probably adopted. ' The Courier Francais contains a letter from Colonel Fabvier, dated at sea off the island of Egina, in which he complains of the Greeks, and insinuates that Ka rai.kaki did not possess sufficient abilities for the high command with which he had been entrusted. These char'es are repelled by a military Philhellene in the Atoile, with considerable spirit and strength or argh ment. This writer concludes his letter is the following manner--.“ The great faults committed by Colonel Fab vier, and all dinse who have meddled with the affairs of the Greeks, consist in having wished to introduce in Greece tactics invented fur countries which bear no re aensblance wit. and to establish a form of Government mote d4motratical than would have been imagined at New York, in a country where the feudal system artists as it did in Europe three or four hundred years ago." The receipts at the English Opera Hoose, on the night of Mrs. Cmmor's Bene fi t, amounted t o 3301. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. SO. . Samuel Banks, an athletic seafaring men, was in dicted for ast indecent assault on Msry Duffield, on the 10th of this month. Mr. Pniturs—Gentlemen of the Jury, you have heard from the Clerk the nature of the indictment, and it is my duty to state to you more particularly the crime for which the prisoner stands at the bar. Miss Duffield, the prosecntrix, is a school-mistress, living at No. 2, York-street, Commercial-road, in partnership with a Miss Spencer, and had the misfortune to take this man into her house to lodge. She had known the prisoner for years: she, had known bislainOy in !Nor folk, and being a native of that costaty herself, had always viewed him in the light of aim:other. On the 10th of October he supped with her, and had taken something to drink with the prosecutaix, who had her self taken a glass of rum and water. They had for supper a pot of porter, of which but little was drank, consequently the prisoner could not plead drunkenness as an excuse for his ensuing conduct. It was ten o'clock, and she reminded him it was time to go to bed. Miss Spencer, who generally slept in the house, had gone to visit some friends. The prisoner asked Miss Duffield if she (Miss Spencer) was coming home? Miss D. little suspecting his art, said, " if she is not home by half-past I ten, she will not crane home at all." She took a candle to light him to bed. Having lighted him upstairs, she put the candle on the chimney-piece. She said," Good night, William; he bade her "good night;'' but she found, on getting to the door, that it was fastened and that the could not get out. I shall not tell you what he did; I shall leave that to the prosecutrix. She said she would resist while life inspired her, and did resist. Her screams were beard on the other side of the street by a.person who desired the watchman to break open the drior ; but he bad got a foolish notion into his head that if he did not hear the word " murder" called, he had not the authority. The prosecutrix, however, by some means got away from his rasp; she rushed into the street, and, agitated and distracted as she was, went to the friend's house at Poplar, where Miss Spencer was stopping ; she related to them the way in which she had been treated, and they immediately went to her house, which they broke open, and in which there was no one but the three children. The prisoner was old mately taken in some ship, and conveyed to the Thames Police-office, where the worthy Magistrate acted in the jostest manner. So great was his opinion of the violence used towards a defenceless woman, that he not only bound the prisoner over in the safest manner to appear, ' but also bound over Miss Duffield in 200/. to prosecute.! Mary Duffeld confirmed this statement, and described the vie. fence. He was the last Man she would ever have suspected of such oniony. The other facts were all proved by different witnesses. Mr. Aompuus, for the prisoner, made a most eloquent appeal to the Jury, in which he did not attempt to defend, but pleadel the frailty of human nature in extenuation of his conduct. He was found Guilty, and sentenced to two years' inipthOOMeat. A meeting was held at Nottingham on Tuesday last.' and a petition voted to Parliament for the abolition of the restrictions on the introduction of foreign corn. IMPRRIAL CHILIAD, MINING ASSOCIATION.—OtedtIf• day,in pursuance of an ad vertisement,some Shareholders met together at the Loudon Tavern, in Bishopsgate street, foe the purpose of making ... some alterations in the Direction of the Company, Mr. TOMMY CURTIS is the Chair. Mr. J. Waticaa being proposed in the room of Mr. Pitman, as Director, the motion was adopted without opposition. The Meeting then broke np. Some, dissatisfaction was expressed by some Shareholders, who arrived at the place of meeting rather late in the day, at finding the assembly broken up. They had understood, they said, that the meeting was to take place' after two o'clock. From Buenos Ayres, under date August 10, we learn that the election of the Representatives to serve in Con gress had taken place on the Sunday previous, a ble to public notice. At the close of the poll, the trlereirn meat bad a majority of nearly $OOO votes. The soldiers, headed by their Officers, marched in bodies to give their suffrages in favour of the Ministry. Very little bud ness was doing. The project of a law presented by the Government to raise a monument to the author of the revolution of 1819, had met with approval. The Meeting of Greek Bondholders has had one good efect—it has quickened the exertions of the engineers and the superintendence of the Messrs. RICARDO: Two boats, it is said, are now ready, though the late season excites some apprehension as to their crossing the Bay of Biscay in safety. An anecdote of some interest has reached us on the subject of this expedition, Lady Coca- RAIZ having heard at Geneva that some delay had occurred in fitting out the armament for her husband, sent over 14001. which she had collected, to be applied to the furtherance of that object. Saturday a respectable-looking man called at the St. Alban's Bank, stating that he wished to open an ac count. He had not, he said, come prepared to pay any thing in then, but he should do so on the Tuesday fol lowing, meanwhile be would take a checkbook. The respectability of his appearance preventing any suspi cion, he immediately obtained one, which in the even ing of the same day he made a very good use of. He first bought a gun of a gunsmith in the town, whom he paid with a check of 81. He afterwards paid a visit to Mr. Causton, a silversmith, in the High -street, where he laid out 41. in spoons, which he took away, and paid for with a check as before. The gunsmith, in the course of the evening, thought it strange that he knew nothing of his customer's face ; it might be all right, or it might not ; therefore, 44 to make assurance do ubly sure," he repaired to the Bank, and, though after hours of business , obtained an interview with - Mr. Edwards, from whom he learned that there were 6 4 no effects."— Like a prudent man, he repaired to the Verulam Arms, where the stranger was sojourning, and without any it. dication of the knowledge he bad just attained, he beg ged respectfully the momentary loan of the gun, upon the plea that 64 some improvement might be made in the touch-hole." It was touch-and-go with thej gun smith, when he had again got his gun, the loss of which he so luck ly avoided. The swindler shortly after de camped, and has not since been heard of. He went at St. Alban's under the name of Wilson. C*uvov..—Two persons are going about Sheffield, and giving information against the venders of lozenges without stamps. It is not generally known that all in :en/es must be stamped, except peppermint and ginger. Cowlinge fair, Oo the 17th inst. proved the largest ever known, there being 60,000 sheep and lambs penned; but prices were somewhat lower than at Horriliger.— There was a very good show of horses and cattle, which were sold on low terms, except those of the best kind. A dreadful murder is described as having been per petrated on the 14th inst. near Alliteere, on the person of a young woman, the details of wbitb are too bona* to be repeated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G LTI LDII A L 1.4 The driver of the hackney chariot No. ISO, appeared on stun_ mons for an offence tender the City Sewers' Act. The complainant, Mr. Good, was retuvntrig on horseback from the House of Commons, on Thursday afternoon, when he found himself hemmed in upon Ledgate.hill by carria ges. He followed in one of the lines, and perceiving the defendant was beginning to press a little on him behind, he turned round, and cautioned him not to advance nearer. The coachman replied, in a jeering sort of tone, 0 Go on," and in hilf a minute the coach pole struck the hinder part of his mare which narrowly escaped being seemly in- 1 jured, and which , intmeriately began plunging, knd endangered the witness's life. When he lotaked round to take the number on the chariot, is it turned into the Old - Bailey, the coachman seemed much muted, and took off his hat to hlm. Thedelleidant said, the mare shyed at a loaded caravan, and ran back woo onadrrpole. That wansgolainient persisted, however, that his own version of the affair was the tree one, and Sir Isms SHAW said, Gentlemen who rode en horseback in the streets of London were so often wantonly put in peril by the drivers .of vehicles, that it was necessary to make mese examples. Such conduct as the defendant's was usually followed up with abuse, but that had not been the case here, and be should, therefore, instead of inflicting the whole penalty, 51. only fine him 21. 10s. for annoy ing and incommoding the highway. The defendant having paid the fine and costs, was discharged. A worthy bonedrokr, named Ma Damps, was fully committed to Neargate os a chary of stealing a horse from a brother dealer in finsiddleid. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mary &vet was charged by two of the Bow-street patrol with having attentpted to murder her husband. The patrol stated, that on Sunday evening about six o'clock, they were passing through Crown.street, Seven Dials, when they heard cries of murder issuing from the cellar of No. 8. Whilst listening, a woman came tip, and begged of them to go down stairs, as she thought some person had been murdered. On entering the house, they found a man lying on the floor bleeding. and in a state of in sensibility. They lifted him up, and plied him in a chair, when finding a cut in his forehead, aid a deep fracture on the back part of his head, they took him to the Middlesex Hospital ; and on going since, the House Surgeon had given a certificate, in which he stated that the poor man was net out of &slier. On searching the place, they found a quart pot, which was sprinkled with blood, and to which was attached a portion of hair. There was only a boy and his ',anther when they entered the place. The boy deposed, that his parents bad been quarrelling, and that his father bad struck his masher several times before she said or did any thing in return • but a ft er considerable aggravation, she took up something, and t hrew at his father ; but what it was be could not say. nor could he say whether she inflicted the wounds on his father. Mr. Roe advised the prisoner not to say any thing at present, as she must be remanded. If the man died, she would have to be forthconsing at the Coroner's Inquest, and also again before him. Baker Gardper and Caroline Mos% the fanner dressed as a man, in a &matt:oat, with dde pockets, and round hat, the latter, in ordinary attire, were brought from et 4 Giles's Watchhouse, for disorderly cooduct. The watchman stated that the two girls were swaggering along at 11 o'clock at night, crossing from side to side of the street, invoking all the women they met with ; the one dressed like a man, was pal- Ang the women shout Wan indecent manner, and the other one was enconsoging her.

The ricer stated, that when he west with the warrant, the father ot -the prisoner refused is let it be send, and anemiad him in kin duty. Old Wedgebsry, who was in the dim, was put in the dock by the Magistrate's order. Mr. lion--.llow dared yen, when the dicer went with the war rant, obstruct him? lan tell you, they might have shot you, and been justified. Wedgebury—Your Worship, I gm three pounds ;a year for catching rats at— Mr. Ron—Den't tel ass of your rats; if the man had shot you, he could not halm bees hurt for k. Bsl3ltore-- His wife came yesterday, and said she would not hurt me on my master's premises, but she would lay wait for me, Mr. Rory—Take a warrant for the wife.

He has been here three times lately—once for setting a house on fire; and now a key is atoleP the night before a robbery is committed. The rival rat-killer was locked up for ball.

Bs. and which it was stated by the constable to have been all muddy and wet, when it was found on the prisoner. The prisoner was remanded until Monday Dent. “ What,” said the defendant," am I obliged to support a wawmer now living in a state of prostitution with another man, who, no doubt, would be glad to receive a part of my hard earnings. Mr. Cuanatas--II what you base stated be true, it wig maters. ally aher the features of the case. The Magistrate then, addressing the Overseer, asked whether the defendant's wife was living in adultery with another man? The Overseer said, that it was generally reported in the neigh bourhood of Bermondsey, that the woman was cohabiting with another man ; he had put the question to her, and she did nut decy the fact. The oath was then administered; after which the Magistrate oh. served, that the defendant was bound to support the two children, and advised him strongly to take them home to his place, where their morals would not be ccikrupted by residing under the same roof with such a mother. The defendant, is a melancholy tooe—Your Worship, it is really a hard ease that I am to be saddled with the ezprose of supptinine two children, whom I firmly believe have stronger claim* on anoz ther man ; however, as the saying is, " whatever is to be must he" so, I suppose, I must take them home. The defendant then left the office with the two children. LAM BETH-STREET. Alm.

The Parish 1311cers, and Shepherd, a Bow street patrol were called in who secured the prisoners and lodged them in the watchibouse. During their absence, M. Sullivan drew a clasp knife upon James Evans, and tut him severely in the face and hands. The °dicers returning, tried to secure Sullivan, but be ran out with the knife in his hand, threatening every one wh o dared to oppose him, followed by the oscers and an inunenhe crowd, into the house of a Mr. Hart, where be was taken, after cutting Shepherd several times, who was sent to the London Hos pitel, where his recovery is doubtful.

There is now in Peterhouse-grove a chestnut tree in full blossom, for the second time during the year ;a cir cumstance very unusual at this late period. ARIROATH.-Our manufacturing business is much improved, although it cannot be said wages are better; but there is plenty of employment for the wearers, aid large shipments of linens, &c. are now going on. There was a solar eclipse, invisible in London, this day. New moon six minutes past one in the morning, and conjunction of Moon and Mercury at nine p. Friday, a woodcock was seen flying about Charlotte square. and after surveying the shrubbery, glanced into the small circle of trees in the centre of the garden. Last week as Mr. J. Wormald, of Fulford, was shoot ing upon his farms at Wistow, near Selby, with his friend Thos. Smith, jun. Esq. Newcastle, they were agreeably surprised by spriniting a covey of the red legged par tndge, so often seen upon the continent, and bagged three. It is supposed that these birds were the first that were ever shot in this county. They have a beautiful plumage, with red legs and beak, of a larger size than our common partridge, and were in excellent condition. A white sparrow was shot last week at Tollerton, near York; also a beautiful specimen of a hen pheasant in the plumage of a cock, was shot about eight miles from this city : bath of which are now in the possession of Mr. H. Chapman, in Petergate. At the late Quarter Sessions at Aylesbury, a man of the name of Spins prosecuted a bargeman named Hickson for assaulting him. Spier:, who is somewhat deaf, having stated the circumstances of the assault, was by Mr. Bligh, who endeavoured to ex tract from him that be had given provocation to the defendant, when the following dialogue took place:— ,Mr. Bligh—Did you not threaten to chop his (Hick son's) head off with a hoe? B?iers—No, he did not. Mr. Bligh—Did you hear what I said ?—(No an,wer). The Chairman, in a loud tone—Did you hear what was said to you? Spiers—Yes, Sir, that Gentleman a,ked me if Hickson chopped my head off with a hoe.
