TO A ROBIN. ON SUING ONE NEAR TOWN VERY EARLY IN AUTVIIN. Yes, gentle bird, with ruddy breast, Thou coyest a truly welcome guest : . Thoush trembling.grips, pale with fear, . All say, thy quick returning here Portends a winter *dreir and long, Muck do I love to hew' thy song ! The lark, that from the dewy corn • Darts heavenward up to greetthe morn, Mich note as merry and as free As the sweet voice of Liberty ; The lonely bird, whose warbling' swell So plaintive through the aeidnlght dell, Sings but whale spring and summer hours, Paint fair the Melds, and gild the bowers! Thou, like a friend sincere and tried, Conest when those times of joy subside, To cheer us, as along the sky Dull winter's bleak clouds wildly fly ! When thick the day snow fell fast, And chilly New the bitter blast, . On penury's devoted head, Perched on the ridge of yonder shed, Or the neighb'ring willow-bough, Oft, gentle warbler, oft bast thou Beguil'd me from ideas sad, And made my heart, like thine, beat glad ! Then stay thee here—nor farther roam, Beneath these caves take up thy home ; At morn, at noon, and rancid; The best I can I will provide, For joys thou dost to me impart, A reconvenee to make in part ! Stepney. EDINBURGH, Avousr 28. -,—•-- W. G. Yesterday, Mr. Fletcher, of London, preached in the forenoon in Leith Links, and 41 the evening on the Cal ton Hal. His aadience on the former occasion we have 'heard calculated at three or four thousand, and that in the evening could not be fewer than five thousand.— The collections were to be given in aid of the distressed ()pet ati ves. Yesterday afternoon we had some of the heaviest thunder showers which have been felt for many years. They succeeded one another, with little intermission, • front four to six o'clock, and at intervals loud claps of thunder were heard at no great distance. The rain poured . down in such torrents, that in a short time the common sewers were incapable of receiving the accu mulated waters, and in consequence the Cowgate, and other low streets both on the south and north of the High-street, were completely flooJed, and at many parts rendered impassable. About six o'clock the atmosphere again cleared, and s fine evening succeeded the storm. Last night about nine o'clock, a beautiful meteor shot over this city, in a direction from south east to north-west, which was visible for a few seconds, and brilliantly illuminated the sky in its track.— It resembled a large sky rocket, and appeared to explode in a simi lar manner in the back part of the New Town. r WENDOVER, Atm. 23. The song of if Harvest Home" has scarcely ceased in the land when the cry of pauperism has begun. The habits of vagrancy become more and more extended-- the industry and capital of the farmer ate mulcted beyond all reasonable proportion to support the swat ms of poor who either cannot or will not do anything for themselves. The employment and wages of the harvest season having now ceased, it is afflicting to see the crowds of•able and wretched labourers who flock-to the Magis trate and overseers fcr a pittance to keep soul and body together in themselves and families. I saw several to day who received orders from a Magistrate on the over seer of a neighbouring. parish, for money to support them until next Friday, when a select vestry meets to decide upon their claims. The single men received one shilling, the men with a wife and child half-a•crown those with a wife and three children, four shillings.— The rates in that parish are twelve shillings in the pound, and the Churchwarden and overseers state their situa tions to be so irksome and unpleasant that they hardly know how to get on. HUNTINGFIELD, Auousr 28. At the village where lam sojourning in Suff I there is Church service only once on the Sabbath, al ternately on mornings and afternoons, though the se• veral bishops in their fi changes" throughout the coun try, enjoined service at least twice on Sunday ; but this •illage is not peculiarly circumstanced, for the like is the ease, as far as I can learn, in all the villages around; and I availed myself of the omission of Church service, to ride over to Heveningham 1-1211. When 1 approached the front of the II .11, at least as close to it as the road through the park seemed to say we were per mitted to go, I was sorptised to see a crowd of forty or fifty agricultural labourers in their smock frocks,, or red waistcoats with sleeves, straw bats, &c. uncere moniously surrounding the windows of the left wing of the Hall. Such a display in the front of a No-1 bleman's mansion, on a Sunday morning, and during church time (between eleven and twelve o'clock) naturally aroused our curiosity; and though we stood and stared at them for a long time, they remained sta. tionary, apparently anxiously attending to what some person was saying or doing in the hall, the windows of .which were up ; and it was not till we arrived at the village of Huntingfield that we learnt the meaning of this display. It was stated that those agricultural la bourers had gone up to his Lordship's house to set* for their harvest work ! We beard persons mention that they were anxiously waiting for the men to bring home their money, to pay the few shillings and pounds they owed to shopkeepers, Eke. I mention this to show bow closely rum the poor agricultssml Mowers appear to be. NIWCAITLE, AUGUST 29.—Saturday night, about nine o'clock, a very serious outrage was committed in the Back-lane, immediately behind Spring Gardens, near this town. A soldier and a young woman were going towards the Westgate, when angry words took place : they had scarcely passed Messrs. Thompson and Co.'s Colliery, when the soldier drew his biyonet and stabbed his companion. She shrieked and fell. The soldier instantly ran of in the direction of the barracks, and two men came up and led the young woman into the town. The soldier is at large. CHURCH PATRONAGC.—AIthough there appear to be only 9,284 parish Churches in England, there are 11,593 benefices, 1,290 01 which are in the pan-mugs of the diocesans, 1,005 in Dean an d Chapters, 103 in the five collegiate Churches of Manchester, Ripon, Southwoll, Westminster, and Windsor; 583 in the Univer sities and Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, EMI, and Winches ter; 1, 015 in the King. Prince of Wales, and Duke of Lancaster, leaving 7,597 in the patronage of lay impropriators. SURREY SESSIONS, AUGUST SO. • Join Swish and ffi s mak (sn, were in 'icted for feloniously stealing from the person of James Grigg, a watch, money, and other articles, to the value of six pounds, his property, and James Coleman, as an ac cessary of the fact. James Grigg, the prosecutor, stated, that, on the 20th day of this month (August), he .had occasion to go down the rent-road, where he met with some friends who invited him to take something to drink. He got intoxicated, indeed 4 , he was quite drunk." He recol lected, however, going into Church-street, and there he got robbed. The evidence was conclusive against the principals, but derived some interest from the rather singular situation of the accessary, the brother of Clan, who, it appears, bad attempted to compound the felony, by getting the prosecutor out of the way. The prisoners being called upon for their defence, Coleman, with great artlessness of appearance, said, he had bur recently returned from Ireland, and the first tidings which reached his ear, on his arrival in this country, was the unhappy situation of his sister, and without giving himself time to consider whether she was really guilty or not, he had strained every nerve to save her from an ignominious punishment. If, in so doing, he had violated the laws of his country, he declared, most solemnly, that he had done so ignorantly. He relied, he said, with firmness, on the well-known justice of an English Court, in sincere and anxious hope, that it would not visit an act of and almost uncontroullable brotherly affection, with the punishment of a felon. The Jury returned a verdict of OW* against the three prisoners. Smith and Cain were sentenced to 14 years' transportation, and Coleman to twelve months' imprisonment and bard labour.—The Calendar having been gone through, the Court closed until October. Tuesday, four persons in the employ of Messrs. Broadwood, piano-forte manufacturers, named Murray, Waite, Zyeder, and Conolly, returning from Deptford in a boat, about nine o'clock at night, attempted to pass through the centre arch of London Bridge, when the boat was upset, and Murray and Waite met a watery grave; the former was recently married, the ether has left a widow and three children. Zyeder, being a good swimmer, saved the life of Conolly, by suffering him to cling round him till they were taken up by two water men neat Southwark Bridge. A most inhuman murder was perpetrated on the night of Saturday, or early on Sunday morning, at Coc,luck, in the county of Dublin, by a man named Robert Long. The victim of this savage deed was his own wile, whom he assaulted with the batrel of a gun, until he beat her head to pieces. Long is a bricklayer by trade, and a native of Swords, but has latterly resided at Feltrim, near Malahide; he had three children by his wife, the eldest of whom is or.ly ten years old. Fur the present he has eluded the pursuits of justice-. A few days ago, a little Alarm prevailed in the neigh bourhood of Grove -street, Bath, underneath which is the icehouse of Mr. J. Tulley, of Nlrlsom-street. An old woman, who had observed some smoke issue from the ice-house door, gravely reported that " the people had been there wi' a lighted candle a'ter ice, and they dropped a spark, and set , fire to't.'' The former part of the report appears to have been correct ; and it would seem that " the people" had dropped the candle on the straw by which the ice is surrounded, for the purpose of preserving it ; but there having been in the house only two cwt. of straw, and about ten tons of ice, which, on every approach of its rival element, assumed its original state, the odds of water against fire were too considera ble to allow of the latter making much progress- TW3 or three hundred weight of ice were lost ; when, with the assistance of some engines, the flue was extinguirhed. At St. Catherine-Cree Church, in Leadenhall-street, London, provision is made, under the will of Sir John Gager, who was Lord Mayor in the year 164.6, for a sermon to be preached annually on the 16th of Nov. in commemoration of his happy deliverance from a lion which he met in a desert as he was travelling in the Turkish dominions, which suffered him to pass unmo lested. The Minister is to receive 20s. for the sermon ; the clerk 2 . 6d. and the sexton Is. The sum of 81. 16s. 6d. is likewise to be distributed among the poor inhabi tants, pursuant to the will of Sir John. Among the Dismals, at the Edinburgh police-Office, on Saturday, a most woe.begone wight, a son of F.:calf:- pins, whose head, from the eff:cts of shame, was all but sunk between his shoulders, was brought up from the shades beneath, and placed at the bar. From the gog gling of his eyes, they seea•ed to be very much discom posed by the sun's effulgence—and no g'eat wonder, for he had been several days in durance upon a charge of trespass of a most extraordinary nature. One evening, about the beginning of the week, the lady of a house in the New Town, when about to retire to bed, and in passing the kitchen door, observed the shadow of a man reflected upon the f l uor, which excited in her some un easy suspicions; so, without saying a word, she locked the outer door, and gave the key to her husband, who had retired to rest. In the morning she came to the kitchen to reconnoitre, when she observed a stout strapping wench sitting at the fire, dressed in a print ed gown and apron, and a la•ge mutch which half concealed her comely face. The servant maid assured her mistress that the stranger was a country cousin of hers, who had come to town the previous night, and whom she could not but invite to teke a share of her bed. The mistress advanced to this interesting personage, and, drawing aside tl e breast of her gown. observed a man's coat of honest broad cloth beneath it The stranger was no other than the prisoner. Instantly the alarm was given to the husband, who, after locking the door outside, hurried for some policemen. They soon arrived, and invited the prisoner to accompany them to the watch-house. He intplored for mercy, and protested that he would rather be stuffed like an alligator, and exhibited as such in a glass bottle, than submit to suet degradation. His prayers, however, were of no avail ; and after being strapped by the wrist to one of the pol semen, he was marched off in his female habili ments to the watch-house—a sad and striking example of the truth of the poet's remark, that " the course of true love never did run smooth." He had nothing to say in defence of his conduct, which really, bad as it was, was not worth making a fuss about ; and he was, therefore, ordained to find caution fur his good beha viour tinder the penalty of 101. The insects known by the name of ephemera, and which live only for a few hours, or at most for a day or two, have hitherto been supposed to be destitute of all the parts of the digestive canal. This supposition has lately been proved to be wholly Without foundation. It has also been found that during their brief existence their skin is twice entirely changed. SMALL Pox.—The first who introduced inoculation into Europe was busarsuat. Tzuoms, a Greek physician at Con stantinople, who voluntarily communicated the art to the Univec sides of Oxford and Padua, of which he was member. COURT OF CONIMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTS , BASINGHALL-STREST—TuzsDAY. 111 II MOTIIB,_A A second meeting of the creditors of James Moyes, who has been lately carrying on business in Bouverie•stre.!t, Fiert-streer, as a printer, took place to-day. A great part of the bankrupt's debts seemed to arise (sons expenses incurred in the building of the large prioting-ollice in the neighbourhood of the Temple. Amongst the debts deposed to, and recognised by the bankrupt, were Henry Caslen, type-founder, partnership and separate debts £2955 Thomas Morgan, of Great Trinity-lane, builder 575 Mr. Arding, carpenter, of Dorset-street, Fleet-street 400 Messrs. Key, &c. The major part of the creditors concurred in the appointment of Messrs. Callon and Morgan, as assignees of the bankrupt's estate. His other debts consist of he claims of lead smelters, Boor-cloth assinufacturer, coal-merchant, tallow-chandler, &c. The case was beard by Messrs. Newland., !Nance, and Swan ston, of the tenth list. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION. HOUSE THE Nov Comm House—Mr. Alderman LUCAS as Alderman of the ward in which the edifice is situated, applie d to the Loan Maroa to request that he would allow the whole of the edifice to be pinned up, or supported at once from the foundation. His Lord ship had given leave for one part of it to be done at one time, in order to prevent public inconvenience, having too much of the pas sage narrowed at once, by the ervction of scaffolds, &c. Now the inhabitants, and those who were interested, and whose opinions he had taken, declared that it would be the least inconvenience to re. pair the whole at once. The builders also declared it would be the greatest convenience to be allowed to repair the whole. The LORD MAYOR went and took a view of the edifice. He de clared himself highly gratified with the manner in which the work was carried on, and granted the permission requested. wo decent middle-aged men, who stated that they were clerks to respectable merchants in the City, were charged with going into the newly-set-up-oyster-rooms in Cornhill, kept by a person named Evans, and there eating a quantity of oysters without paying for them, and afterwards assaulting Mr. Evans and the watchman, and threatening to pull the place to pit ces. The defendants were now very contrite, and pleaded Intoxication as an excuse; whereupon they were ordered to pay ss. a-piece for being drunk, and to settle with the watchman, and they were then discharged. Elizabeth Turner, a middle-aged woman, was charged with robbing her master, Higham Michaels, of some silver spoons and sundry other articles. The duplicates of the articles ss ere found on the prisoner, and she was proved to he the person who pledged them. She was fully committed for trial. The Lorna MAYOR, on ordering her committal, observed, that up to Tuesday night there were no less than 460 ptisoners in New gate, all committed for trial since the last Sessions. GUILDHALL. An interesting girl, named Mary Jones, was charged with robbing a Mr. Solomon liottihill, an artificial flower maker, residing in Soho-square, of his watch and seals, under the followiog circum stances: It appeared from Mr. 13ottibill's statement, that some time since he met the prisoner in Tottenham•court-road, and think ing her a young country girl, he made importunities to her, and she agreed to accompany him home, and remained with him till morn ing. He got up at six o'clock to let her out, and after she had la.en gone about half an hour be missed his watch, &c. Tuesday morning be saw her in Newgate-street, and gave het into the cus tody of an officer, to whom she confessed taking the watch, and pledging it, and giving the duplicate to her sweetheart. The prisoner, in an artless manner, said that the Gentleman in duced her to go home with him, saying he would give her a sove reign, but he did not. She was about to state further, hut was stopped by Mr. Alderman Luass, who said, that as the offence was committed in the County, the case must go before a County Ma gistrate.—The parties ►hen left the ofLe. BOW-STREET. Mary Frostings, an elderly woman of decent appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alrxsxtrct., onTuesday evening, charged with having stolen a sum of money amounting to between seventy and one hundred pounds. The circumstances of the case, as appeared from the evidence of the witnesses, are as follow:—The prisoner, Mary Hastings, is a nurse, and in that capacity attended Mrs. Dolway, an old Lady, residing at Kensington ' a short time previous to her death, which took place about ten days ago; and after her decease, the prisoner sat up with the body, alone. On Wednesday, the SltScl inst. the money belonging to the deceased Lady was seen by an old woman, named Elizabeth Hilly ar, her servant, safe in a buffet in the room where the body lay. Th e: next day the whole of it was gone. Sus picion fell upon the prisoner, and application being made to this Office, Ellis, one of the principal Officers, was sent to inquire into the • Having learned that the prisoner bad a relation - - in the service of a Mrs. Hatton, in Kensington, he went there, and found in the box of that relative, whose name Ann Rust, and who is made a witness against the prisoner,—a parcel, in which was inclosed a black silk stocking, containing a ten-pound note and twenty.four sovereigns. These the girl, itust, acknowledged were given her by the prisoner to take care of : the prisoner bers,M had previously, when questioned by the Officer, positively denied having given any money to any one to take care of, or for any other purpose. She said nothing in her defence, and she was remanded until Saturday next. THR NINTH PART Or " A GAT DRCIIVRIL.SHRItfd Trott, tailor, residing in the vicinity of Hatton-garden, was brought up on a charge of felony. The pi - sweet:nix, who is a servant maid, stated that she became acquainted with the prisoner about a week ago, 14ons his having coated her in the street. She met bite on Monday evening as she was going with the makings of a gown to a milliner's. Ile very gallantly asked to carry her bundle, and, after walking a shun dis tance, he gave her the slip, and she did not see hint or her bundle until he was apprehended on Tuesday" evening. He informed her that be was a Gentleman. While in her company, be called at a Gentleman's house in Lincoln's Inn Fields, and told her that he was courting the Lady of the house. It was at that house that she found out his address. 'the master of the prosecutrix attended, and gave her a good character. lie said that she had come to his service from the country, and was easily imposed upon. lie had been informed that the prisoner was in the habit of deceiving females, and had suc ceeded in imposing on five girls before the present. The prisoner made out a very plausible defence, which shewed that he was by no means a novice at the trade. He stated that when he bad left the prosecutrix, being affecteclin a certain way, he delayed about a quarter of an hour. After he bad returned, he could not find the girl. He went in search of her next day, and paraded before her master's door, but he cwt.' not see her, and be did not Wish to call. Mr. Harmer appeared u solicitor on his behalf, and submitted that there was not sufficient evidence to lead to a conviction. The bundle, which the prisoner on being apprehended gave up to the officer, was now opeoed. It contained an old gown, and the makings of the new one cut up. The prisoner stated that his sister had cut it according to the old one, and was about to make it for the prosecutrix, at his request. The prosecutrix seemed quite alarmed on seeing it eut up, and said that it was evidently for the use of his own sister. After some altercation, in which the mother of the prisoner took a share, Mr. Itztssita.t. severely reprimanded the prisoner for his evil habits in decoying girls, and said that he would commit hint for trial if the prosecuttiz insisted on it. This, however, she declined to do, and the prisoner was discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. Four poor women were charged with the high crime of endea vouring to keep themselves from starving, by selling fruit, in Charier street, Hatton-garden.—Barclay, the street-keeper, said he did not know what to do ; he pitied the poor creatures from his heart, but the inhabitants threatened if In did not entirely remove the nui sance, they would remove him from his situation.—The Magistr. said, then the question is, whether you are to be sacrificed or tl is evil removed. I shall send all that come before me to the Howe of Correction ; and the poor creatures were sent accordingly ! MA RLBOROUG H-STREET. Samuel Sharp, shopman to Mr, Hullmandel, a printer, residing in Marlborough•street, was rhsrged with stealing some prints and paper used in lithographic printing. It appeared that the prisoner stole the paper from the proseutor's premises, and gave it to an old woman named Green, who was also employed by Mr. Hullmandel as charwoman. When this woman. was apprehended, she admitted that the prisoner had given her the paper, and she was in consequence isdmitted as a wanes-.

Cstu.o.—The Captain of one of the Scotch mucks entered the Office, and requested the advice and assistance of Mr. BA LLANTYNI4 under the following rircurnstai.ze. He stated, that about ten days ago he left the Tower Stairs, meth his smack, having on board a great number tat passengers bound Dundee, and that when he got to Frith, on his going down into the hold of the vessel, be there discovered, under some straw, a fine boy, about ten years old, and from his dress and manners, he knew he must he the child of some respectable person. He asked him what brought him on board? to which he could obtain no aeswer except a good-humoured smile. The passengers advised him to put hint on shore at Gravesend; however, struck with the appearance of the lad, and supposing that he had some friends at Dundee, whom he wished to see, and that not having money to pay his passage, he had adopted that stratagem of concealing himself in the hold as the most likely to accomplish his wishes, he took hint with him. At Dundee, however, he appeared to be as great a stranger as when he came on board. The Captain made every effort to prevail on hint to give some account of himself, but all to no purpose. Not knowing what to do with him, he was advised to take hint before the Police Magistrate at Dundee, which he did, hut they were equally unsec cesstuL He was recommended by them to take hint back to Lon. don, as the folOSt probable place to discover to whom he belonged.— He bad him now on board his smack, and he requested Mr. Bat. lantyne's advice as to the disposal of him. Mr. Evans, the Gillet Surveyor, asked him the description of the boy, which, on Mr. Evans hearing, he said he thought it answered one in an advertisement which he had of a lost boy, and which gave a reference to Mr. Greenwell,Court-house, Oxford-Ltrett, St. Mary la. Bonne. Mr. atteaderewe then requested Mr. Duns to go on board, and bring the boy before him, which he did ; and the moment he appear ed, there remained no doubt but he was the lad described in the ad vertisement. Mr. Ballantyne then despatched a messenger to Mr. Greenwell, to apprise him of the event ; and Mr. Greenwell, accom ' panied by a Lady, immediately returned with the messenger; and the moment she saw the boy, she recognised him as her lost child. She stated, that she and her husband reside at Boulogne, and that, about three weeks since, they missed the boy, and could not imagine what could have happened to hint. However, on inquiry, they traced him as far as Dover, but there lost all scent of him; they then posted advertisements, describing bum, at Dover, at the same time imagin ing that he might have come to Loudon, she proceeded thither. and on her arrival in London, she found that her conjecture was right, for her brother, Mr. Greenwell, had already got tidings of him in the following extraordinary manner: in consequence of the advertisement at Dover appearing, with a reference to hint, one of the coachmen of the Dover coaches waited upon him, and stated that, about a fortnight ago, a lad answering the description had got into the coach, and said he was coming to his Meads in London, who would•pay on his arrival ; the coachman, front his appearance, not doubting his story, turn:shed hint with all necessaries on the road, and on the coach stopping at the Bricklayers Aims, while he was attending to some of the other passengers, the lad got out of the coach and disappeared, nor could he gain the least information of what became of him since. Mr. Greenwell, on receiving the information from the coachman, immediately got advertisements posted all over town, and particu larly gave intormation at all the Public Offices, and ever mace has bren most unceasing in his Inquiries. The Lady stated that she was just upon the point of t eturning to her husband and family at /3outogne, despairing of evtr hearing of her lost chid._ Mr:DALLANTTNI:after giving the boy a suitable admonition, ordered him to he delivered over to his mother; and Mr. Green well and all parties then kft the Office, seemingly highly pleased at meeting again. HOAX AT NORWICH. -A letter from Norwich informs w, that an absurd hoax, remarkable for the success which attended it, has been played off in that city to the great amusen.ent of its inhabitants. The following tidi taints bill was in general circulation in Norwich and the neighbour hood for days previous to the exhibition, and strange to say, on the evening of Monday, 20,000 sagacious people horn the city and country around, for on foot, on horseback, in chaises, gigs, and other vehicles, had actually collected below the hill to witness " the extraordinary performance." It is needless to say that Carlo Gram Villecropfieco quite out of sight at the first leap:. " VS. JAIL Ceti-HILL, ZACK OF Till HOUK BAZIUICII. " The Public are respectfully informed that Signor Carlo Gram Villecrop, the celebrated Swiss Mountain Flyer, from Geneva and Mont Mane, is just arrived in this city, and will exhibit, with a Ty rolese Pole, 50 fret long, his most astonishing gymnastic flights, never before witnessed in this country. Soto illecrop has bad the great honour of exhibiting his most extraordinary fea:s on the continent, before the King of Prussia, Emperor of Austria the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and all the resident nobility in Switzerland. lie begs to inform the Ladies and Gentlemen of this city, that he has selected St. James's-hill and the adjoining hills for his performances, and will first display his remarkable strength, in running up the hill with his Tyrolese Pole between his teeth. Ile will next lay en his back, and balance the same pole on his nose, chin, and different parts of his body. He will climb up of it with the astonishing swiftness of a cat, and stand on his bead at the top; on a sudden, be will leap three feet from the pole without falling, susper ding himself by a shenese cord only. He will also walk on his head, up and down the bill, balancing his pole un one foot. Many other feats will be WS bited, in which Signor Villecrop will display to the audience the much admired art of toppling, peculiar only to the peasantry Switzerland. He will conclude his performance by repeated Sights in the air, up and down the hill, with a velocity almest impercep tible, assisted only by the pole, with which he will frequently jump the astonishing distance of 40 and 50 yards at a time.
