TRAVELLING FOR PLEASURE. TOWN IN CANADA. Swift fly the horses oa the road For pleasure mow we go, Twelve in a coach. a eumnion load, A equalling child or two. Sometimes we're wet, sometimes upset, As we fur pleasure roam, But roil and care we choose to bear, Rather than stay at home ! The steam-boat rushes op the tide, Rich is the landscape round, Near to the fertile banks we glide, No fear of being drowsed; Wilt boilers burst, and scald we must, As we for pleasure roam; Farm and smoke our senses choke, While boric away from home! With fragrance sweet, and breezes kind, The south wind gently blows— Oppresed with heat and languid mind, - We're luU'd into repose ; Now bail gonna rise, red lightning flies, As we for pleasure roam, And thunders roll t' appal the soul, While we are far from home! Worn with fatigue, with aching head, And visage all forlorn, We throw our weight upon a bed, Made of the husks of corn. 'Moog* bugs and gnats, and Seas and rats, As we for pleasure roam; Such vermin keep our eyes from sleep, And make us wish for home! On current smooth, the batteau floats, Sy Wand, point, and bluff, The song and jest, no ewe denotes, The amersmana voles is rough. See rocks appear, the Rapids neer, As we for pleasure roam, With risk at hie we love the strife, Better than q uiet home! To ride an old hack bone is bad, The slow canal boat wane— The jolting calache drives us mad,' And waggons make us eons. With bruises, groans, and broken bones, We still for pharSTO roam, And if your ease can't bear all these, You'd better stay at bane NEW-YORIC, Arm 12. IMAM Of TIIII MARRIAGII PRO.IIII6.•••••CRAWRORD O. ISCNYORD. This cause came on yesterday. at the Circuit Court, Judge WA LWORTII presiding. Mr. Crawford, the plain tiff, is an instance, and a singular one, of an attempt to "bring a Lady to her bearings," and appeal to a jury for redress against fickleness and infidelity—and, indeed we have a right to say, that if the records of our Court bear testimony against the falsehoods and f6llies of the men, (and they are mulcted in damages for such follies) we see no reason why a Lady, with a heavy purse and a whimical taste, should not have justice meted to her. " In Adam's GU we sinned all." Mr. Crawford, the complaining swain in this case, is from Westchester. He is not one of your roystering Tom and Jerry rogues, who make love to every pretty girl, break latnps, knock down watchmen, &c. but is a substantial grey-headed Gentleman of seventy•four ! The Lady is a widow, pretty well stricken in years, (say sixty-five) and having a " shockingly beautiful" estate, as they say in New England. For the comfort of both parties, they resolved to come together, " for better and ter worse." The Lady was " asked three times in church," the wedding cake made, the parson bespoke, the bride-maids named, and every thing arranged snug and comfortable—but, lo and behold! when all was ready, the widow " bolted," as they say on the turf; she had changed her mind ; s'ie had a right to do so, hav ing a good estate; and for this abandonment, at a criti cal period, and for this loss of a comfortable home, a velvet cap, arm chair, slippers, hot apple toddy at night, and " all that sort e thing," the plaintiff claimed da mages at the hands of the Jury. Several witnesses were introduced to prove the de., clarations of the L idy, as to..lur intentions of marrying the plaintiff, and the preliminary arrangements; all I testified that the plaintiff was a very respectable, worthy, ill-treated Gentleman, against whom no charge could be brought, and whose comforts were materially abridged by this cruel desertion; it was shown that he had no property himself, and therefore, considered it necessary that his wife should have some ; it was also proved that the parties had been acquainted a whole fortnight, and hid several opportunities, in that time, to declare their mutual attachment, which they did one . evening at tea time—always a comfortable occasion. For the defence, Mr. ANTHON, in a speech somewhat store rhetorical than the Learned Gentleman's usual display, argued a variety of very pathetic topics. He talked of an ancient Lady's d) ing meditations being disturbed by the rude assaults of a still mere ancient Gentleman's amorous inclinations. He told the Jury that the plaintiff saw the Lady's charms in her rent roll, not in her face ; that the courtship, though scat tered over two wh .le hours of intercourse, and though confined to the mo.t common place matters, was still a waint one, for the frigid temperatures of 7a and 65; that Mr. Crawford was lame, And Mrs. Benford para lytic ; that the first visit of affection was likely to have been fatal to tl e plaintiff, who was exhausted by a ' weary pilgrimage of sixty yards; that the promise of, marriage was purely conditimal, and rested on an if; that Mrs. Benfotd, on the bridal night, unconscious of her destined happiness, had hobbled to "a public" with a tribe of great grand children ; that moreover, besides being very old, she was very foolish ; that the whole business was got up by a busy body, who wished to escape from supporting the plaintiff any longer; and be concluded by beseeching the Jury to fling the cloak of their verdict around the trembling limbs of his aged and paralytic client. The witnesses for the defence proved that the par ties were introduced to each other, in " a joke." The bridegroom was represented as being " capable of at tending to lady's business, and taking all her little matters off her hands." But it appeared that he was lame and nearly blind; that the most trifling exertion put him out of breath, being phtliisical, and that be laboured under the suspicion of being over poor. The lady said if she married, Mr. H. should "give her Away," because he gave her away twenty years before; and her dress should be black, because it suited her age, and that she would scot be married at all, except her property was put out of the way of any young and vigorous husband like Mr. Crawford. Mr. C. on his side, protested his sole desire was "to bury her along side ef his first wife." It appeared that some good-natured friends stopped the old Lady in her career of matrimony, and on the wedding night, when all the friends of the bridegroom were met, and the ardent lover clad is bridal apparel, Instead of the fair dulcinea rushing to his eager ,em braces, with all her houses and lands , comes a lawyer's letter, declining the affair altogether. " and, therefore, the plaintiff brought his snit, Ilcc." At this stage of the nose. Judge Walsworth sod Lawyers were quite eahauated, and adjourned for two hours. When the Corn met, Mr. Martin S. Wilkins addressed the jury with his usual felicity of sarcasm and humour. The audience was convulsed with laughter. and more than once the gravity of the bent') was disturbed.—' When he described the projected marriage, and corn gated it with that of our first patents (of whom the /siren might almost have been contemporaries) the venerable lady herself, who sat on the back seats, laughed so loud as to require an intervention of the crier. Mr. Wilkins pressed Shakspeare, Milton, Hudibras, ind Joe Miller into the service of his fancy ; and after an hour's speech, in which the ludicrous, the ar 4 umentatit e, and the pathetic, were strangely blended, left the fib ,r to Messrs. Price gild Maxwell. the plaintiff's counsel.— The address of the latter Gentleman was one of the most ingenious we ever heard. He contrived, eith ad mirable dexterity, to make his hearers forget all the ludi:rous parts of the trial, and came near convincing us that none but very old people ought to enter into the marriage state. For all others, it was utterly impos sible to be happy. No one but a dexterous pleader would have eff cted this, a;id such a one was Mr. M. - . The Learned Judge summed up the evidecce, and laid down the law, with great perspicuity ; and the Jury listened with great pa tience. The Jury then retired—the lawyers retired—old Air. Crawford and old Mrs. Benford retired,—and, as it was rather late our reporter retired, to hear the verdict, which this morning will be brought into Court. N.B. The Jury awarded to the loving old Gentleman a verdict a Iwo hundred dollars, and eat& A warning to coquettes. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, MAT t 4. MILL= V. MILLISH. The LORD CIIANCRLLOR observed, that in this ease he felt considerable difficulty in allowing the large sum of money in question to be paid out of Court on the undertaking of Mr. Mellish to pay it back if required. Mr. Hama said, that perhaps his Lordship would not object to one half the sum being drawn out by Mr. Mellish on his own undertaking, or the whole of it upon sufficient security for its repayment if necessary. The Loa* CHASCILLLOS said, he considered that proposal per fectly reasonable. IX•PARTE PICKSRING, IN 111 HUTCHINSON AND CITRUS. Mr. Iloasa reminded his Lordship that he had di rected a meeting of the creditors in this case to be con vened for the purpose of considering whether they would continue the old, or make a new choice of assignees. He now applied is the Court to ascertain whether the for mer powers of attorney would be deemed sufficient on the present occasion. The LORD CHANCRLLOR said tint his order was to convene a sheeting to consider whether or not- they would make a new choice of assignees; and the former powers of attorney, enabling persons to choose assig nees, would not empower them to vote on that question. IN THE NIATTLR or SIR 0. P. TURNER. Mr. Tag/twin presented a petition (torn Sir G. P. Turner, praying to be allowed to try the traverse of the inquisition at the next Bedford Assizes. It had been found impossible to try the traverse at the Assizes la-t year, because there was only an interval of seventeen days between the date of his Lordship's order and the commencement of the Assizes, and two material wit nesses were absent in France. The Learned Counsel, in enforcing the prayer of the petition, stated that Drs Burrows and Haslam had made affidavits l declaring that the mind of Sir Gregory was perfectly free from all de lusion or imbecility. Mr. HEALD opposed the petition, and said that he had the evidence of Drs.Wiilis, Sutherland, and Munto, by whom Sir Gregory had been visited down to the 16th of this month, that lie was still of unsound mind, and that the unsoundness was of long standing. Mr. SOOOEN, on behalf of Captain Turner, Sir Gre gory's brother, expressed a hope, tuat if the prayer of vie petition should be granted, the Court would take care that the peace and happiness of the lunatic and his relatives should not be affected by it, and that a time would be fixed for the trial. in order to put an end to the state of anxiety and irritation in Which his mind was kept by these applications. The LORD CHANCELLOR again inquired why, if Sir Gregory's mind was supposed to be in a sound state now, a short petition was not presented to the Court, praying to supersede the inquisition? The affidavits ot Drs. Burrows and Haslam had nothing to do with the queition of trying the traverse; because the point in that case would be. not what was the state of his mind now. but what had it been at the time ot the inquisition. lie (the Lord C iancellor) felt a strong in clination at present to prevent the traverse from being tried, as no good reason had been assigned to him for so doing ; but as subjects of this nature dentanded the most anxious consideration, he would think Mr. Tres love to state anything additional which he might be able to urge in support of the petition on Tu. slay morning. JUDGMENTS. His Lonnausr took occasion tv repeat what he had said on a (De nser day, that as soots as Parliament separated, lie would devote every Wednesday to pronouncing judgments, giving notice en each Monday of the cases in which he would give judgment on the fol. lowing Wednesday. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Gen.snact., May 24. SNOW A ND.OTHRRS v. ROBINSON. This was an action of trover to recover the amount of a ifty pound bank-bill. Mr. &dem Boas:war and Mr. Moonv conducted the plain. dffa case, and Mr.SerjeantWm.na and Mr. Gum the defendant's. The facts of the case were these :—lts September, 1824, the plaintiffs, who are bankers, received the 501. bank-note in part payment of a check, drawn on ano ther banker. They sent their potter to receive the money, which either he lost on his way home or was hustled and robbed of it. The man has since died. Whether the note was lost through cat elessness or fraud, however, the plaintiffs contended, would not effect their right to recover, which would be the same in either case. In September, 1825, the-defendant took the note at the St. Leger Doncaster !Laces, in part payment of a bet ; and it was contended on his part that he was not liable, because he teceived the note in the due course of his trade. The defendant admitted that he had received the note on the 19th of Sep tember, but he did not know from whom, he having that day paid away acid received; as bets, to the amount of 22.0251. He admitted also that the plaintiffs had advertised their loss by posting bills about the town, and announcing it in the Public Ledger, and the Hut and Lry, Newspapers ; but the defendant contended on this that he dad not take the note for a twelvemonth after such announcement ; and the plaintiffs had not exercised due caution in allowing so much time to pass without again advertising. The laelliD Cato JUSTICE charged the Jury. If they thoUght•the defendant had taken the bill from soniebol% hefinew, and had not, therefore, thought k necessary to note from whom he received it, they would find a verdict in his favour; but if they thought the plaintiffs had exercised a due caution in advertising it, and the defendant had taken it without due caution, their verdict must be for the plaintiff.. Mr. Serjeant WvLiox said there must be a verdict for the defen dant, there being no evidence of a want of due caution to go to the Jury. The Loan entity Josvica thought there was. Mr. &ricer!' Wer.oe—Then, my Lord, I must tender your Lordship an exception. After some discussion as to the wording of the exception, his Lordship received it. The Jury then delivered a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages .101. SNOW AND OTDERI O. SADLER. This action was brought by the same plaintiff's. The facts were also the same ; and it was similarly disposed of. TYRREL-V. CATEKDV AND OTIICRS• This was an action brought by the L4ndlord of No. ' ' 7, Chatham-place, Blacktriars, to recover a compensa tion in damages him the defendants, who constituted " the Sea and Inland Coal Company," f.r their non fulfilment of an agreement to t Ike the abovementioned house, the lease of which they had contracted to pur chase at 1501. The evidence proved. that the contract was entered into by the defendants on the 2d 'larch in the last year ; but in consequence of the dissolution of the Company in the month of April following, the contract was not completed. The Calm Jorrice left it to the Jury to say what damages the plaintiff had sustained in losing as opportroity of letting the house to other tenants during the months of March and April. The Jury found for the Plaintiff—Damages $Ol. COURT OF COMMOri PLEAS, b/mr 24. _ _ Mr Brawn, a resident of Sbeerness,who is employed extensively in furnishing Materials for the composition of Parkes emetic, obtained a verdict of 1001. damages aping a neighbour of his named Shrubsole, for defa matory expressions. The defence, conducted by Mr. Set jeans Wimps, was—that his client had merely re peated a statement made by a third person, which he at the time believed to be true ; aid he now exiitessed his ,egret at having given publicity to what he acknow ledged to be a falsehood. The Loss C,uzr Junica, on the verdict being delivered, said that he considered the defendant to have gotten off very cheaply. POLICE INTELLIGENCE• MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a watchman, named Freemen, was charged with having committed an outrageous assault upon a Gentleman. Two Gentlemen, in passing along Combat on Tuesday night, at half-past ten o'clock, saw two little girls in the most deplorable state, sitting on the steps of a hall-door. The Gentlemen crosied the street. gave alms to the destitute children, and asked a watch man, who stood near them, something about their condition. The watchman, instead of answering, replied in a rough tone, that they (th complainants) had better walk on, anti that he did not care ani thing about the children. " You might, at least," said one of the Gentlemen, " have given a civil reply.' This admonition pro &teed loud menaces front the watchman, and then the defendant, who was keeping a staggering watch at the ether side of the street, sallied over, seised the person who was so presumptuous as to reply to a person in such authority, and told him that he should lie in the watch-house until Monday nut. Some other Gentlemen. who were patsing at the time, immediately interfered, by expressing in gentle terms their disapprobation of the conduct of the man iu authority, whereupon the defendant struck one of them in a most violent manner. Three or four of the Gentlemen were knocked about without mercy by tome watchmen who came to assist the defendant, but the Gentlemen took care that the principal should not escape. Freeman sutured Alderman Lucas, who sat for the Lord Mayor, that the Gentlemen were the east assailants but the evidence to the contrary was overpowering. Some of the inhabitants of Corns bin said that they had discharged the defendant. The Gentlemen declared that the public were subject in so much insolence from this class of men, that an example upon this occasion would be of great service. Alderman Lucas raid the defendant should, in the first place, pay the sum of ss. for being drunk, and, in the neat, find bail to answer fur the assault. A relation of the watchman came forward, and declared that the latter had received a severe wound on the head in battle, which caused almost madness when he took liquor. Tuesday night was the annual carnival meeting of the watchmen, when many of them, liketbeir betters on similar occasions. had departed from the severe rules set down for them, and the defendant was amongst the stlost unfortunate in that respect. The complainants, on hearing this, refused to proceed against the defendant. Alderman Lucas then fined the defendant, and expressed a hope that when the Gentlemen of the Lantern intended to sup together again. notice would he sent to the inhabitants to keep within doors, and to the Lord Mayor to provide substitutes during the time of enjoyment. GUILDHALL. Two cases of connubial Infelicity were yesterday brought before Sir J. Pitaanni. The tint was that of a master baker, who had been married nine years, but latterly his wife was continually in a state of intoxication, and dissipating his property. While in that' state she threatened to kill him, and burn the house ; he was there fore under the necessity of giving her into custody. After some time they agreed to terms of sep:sration, and the case was dismissed. —The other WAS a juvenile couple, who bad been married about 14 months. The husband, a copper plate printer, had discovered that a criminal connexion subsisted between his faithless rib and a pub bean near lidliugsgate ; and, as she alleged, be carried a razor about him with a murderous intent, she pleaded hard for a separate main tenance, which the husband refused, but urged her to return home, promising to use her well if she behaved properly; and Sir Jams refused to make any order for a separate allowance. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, a man named William &masa, was brought to this office in the custody of Jameson, one of the constables of Kensing ton, charged with wantonly and cruelly throwing a quantity of boil ing water over a female named Maria Denham. A young man, named Lewis, said that he was employed as brick. layer at Kensington ; that he knew the prisoner ; that morning he was in company with him and others at the" Three Compasses, Kensington, drinking some beer; he accompanied the prisoner s iaotne; the young woman Denham was io his room, with his (Bennett's) wife ; the latter was lying fan the bed somewhat intoxi cated; the prisoner desired her to get up, which she refused to do, and tfie prisoner struck her several times; the young woman interfered to save the wife, when the prisoner knocked her down, and afterwards upset a saucepan of boiling water over her, which was boiling on the fire ; the female screamed out, and fell on the ground with pain; a surgeon was sent for, and she was removed is St. Georges HospitaL Mr. Marsuma.,the Magistrate, inquired if the young woman was capable of Mending herself ? A labeering man, brother to the sufferer, stated that he had seen his sister in the hospital ; the surgeon told him that she was in the most imminent danger. Mr. MursneLL said be had scarcely ever known of suck barbarity on tke part of a man ; he should commit the prisoner to prison till the young woman was out of danger; if she died, of course he would be tried for murder. The prisoner was removed from the bar and locked up. It appeared that the female was pregnant by the prisoner, that for some slight pretence he cruelly kicked her, in consequence of which she was prematurely delivered of a dead infant. The prisoner, who was a ferocious-looking fellow, said that be had been aggravated to it. Mr. thissinnts. ordered him to And good bail, and to give 24 boors' notice thereof. William Edmund Poohen, 1.4. summoned the driver of the hackney coach No. 643, for au overcharge. Mr. Peahen deposed, that on his return (mat Covent-garden Moll" no Friday olsl l 4, between ten and eleven o'clock, be took tte above coach at the Pines, and proceeded to his residence, No. n,YeatCreetent. Portland Place; he then paid es. for the fare, and also Is. which the coachman demanded as back carriage. The coachman, in defence of his charge, said York Crescent has sever hems paved : it is gravel. Mr. Rawanserm---Macadanaleed, you mean ; in fact, it is a cm thisatioa of the same kind of pavement which the road you came altelether masts et I know there is it doubt on the sub• 'ect, thoosfore Ido not want to «avid y yes In an mon tLe 'billing, and pay the cote. , MARLBURDUOSSTICERT. A pretty looking young girl, named Apes OMeny, was brought before Mr.Coaaxv, the Magistrate, charged with a Itiglianty robbery. The complainant, or rather indeed the person who was robbed, for complainant he refused to be, was a black man, armed Francis, a musician in the band of the Ist Regiment of Grenadier Guard,. When this poor fellow learned that the girl was likely to receive some punishment fee her offence, he positively refused to make any statement against her, and the Magistrate was compelled to hear the nature of the ease from a watchman, before he could form any judgment upon it. The watchman stated the cue thus:—lie said that on Saturday night last the black nun was passing through the Regent's Quadrant. the prisoner suddenly darted at the seals which were suspended from his watch ribband. and tore them away, and she would also have bad the watch itself, had it not been that it was twisted in the fob. Having secured the seals, she ran off, but the man pursued her, and never lost sight of her until she was stopped by the watah nian, who took her to the watchhouse, and searched her, but of trace could be discovered of the seals. Francis offer ed s at the watchhouse 155. to any person who would discover the seals arch return them to him, and he then identified the prisoner as the perant who snatched them. The watchman, en his morn to the spot where he stopped the ghl, found the seals on the ground. Mr. CONANT, hearing this statement of an audacious higtswaf robbery, insisted that Francis should be sworn, which the latter' protested against in the most supplicating manner, for the pgue girl's sake, as be called her, and declared that he would rather gist up and lose thk seals altogether, than the girl shoilld suffer any punishment on his account. Mr. CONANT was, however, determined that he should he sworn 4 to which he at length, with the utmost reluctance,' consented s and was obliged to admit the truth of the watchman's statement. The Magistrate, chiefly on account of the poor fellow'. =misty on the subject, inclined to commit the girl for the larceny; and when the pour blackman learned that the punishment to the girl was likely to depend on the value of the seals, he declared that they were not worth a single farthing. Mr. Cosaire said, that could not be the case, as he, Francis, him self had offered i Ss. reward for their recovery. Oh, indeed, Sir, said Francis, they are not worth anything, only offered the reward because sae of them was a keep-sake front my pour mother, who is dead. He was, however, urged to put some value on them (they were in fact worth at east thirty shit- Hugs), he caught a hint front some person that tenpence would save the girl, and accordingly poor Francis declared that the seas wet* worth tenpence only, and from that position nothing could move him. This he thought would get the girl off altogether; ttut when he was still called upon to identify her, be declared , that although he had no doubt about her the night before, he had some &putts now that she was the person who robbed him, because, said he, people change so in a night, that it is almost impossible to be ear* fain of them. The prisoner, who stood laughing all the tine at the fine traits of unaffected humanity displayed by the poor black man, was committed for larceny; and Francis, with a tear trembling in his eye, was compelled to sign his deposition, and was only con soled by the assurance that the girl would only be slightly punished. TOWN HALL. Cornelius George lfanning, for whose apprehension a reward of 101. was offered, Thomas Rooky alias Rowland, Elisabeth .Yarning, and Mary Palmer, were finally examined on thr charge of robbing the warehouse of Mr. Goodchihl, jun. No. 2, Tooley-strreil, on the morning of the 12th inst. It era proved satisfactorily, that the male prisoners were seen to commit the robbery by a Mr. William Powell, and John Colnett, living in the neighbourhood, aed who both well knew Manning, who bad formerly lived seven years as confidential clerk with Mr. Goodchild, and was discharged for misapplication of upwards of 2001. eight months since, and shat the property was taken away in a cart belonging to a man named Brown of Bermondsey-street, now on bail, to appear at tbe Sessions, be tween whom and the prisoner Rowley a connexion was proved to exist. The prisoners denied the charge, and the men wire com mitted for trial ; the testimony nut affecting the women, they were discharged. DIMON HATTOR GRANITE COMPANY.—Yesterday, Meeting of the Shareholders in the above Company was held at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of receiving the Report of a Committee, ap- pointed by a former Meeting, to investigate the accennts of the Directors. Sir F. AGAR was in the Chair ; and, after much angry di cussion, Mr. DaNMAW moved the appointment of a Committee to investigate the concerns of the Company : but this proposition was negatived by a large majority, and a motion was carried to the eact, that the Directors should take measures for an applita• tioa to Parliament to legalize the Company. The com plaining Shareholders left in a high state of ferment. Yesterday, the Annual Meeting of the Proprietors of the British Commercial Insurance Company was bald at the Company's Office, Cornhill, Sir WILLIAM Br. TRAM in the Chair. Mr. FARRIS, the Managing Di rector, read the Report, which detailed, at considerable length, the flattering state of the Company's affairs.— The Chairman having put the motion, as to whether the Report should be received or nor, it was passed with acclamation; and, after a vote of thanks to the Chair• man had been passed, the Meeting broke up. O• the 14th April, a negro man who had beeis con victed of arson, and ordered for execution at Charles ton, was conveyed to the gallows, but no tenon could be found to act the part of ezecntioaer, and the Black was taken back to prison. • SCOTS BANKRUPTS. • SIQUESTRATIONS.
