• SPRING. 'Tie Spring ; the rude Winter seems chained to the North. And Nature keeps holiday now ; i ns Spring, and the buds and the blossoms spread forth Their beauties un every bough. "Ms firing, and the birds of the summer sing sweet On the branches that wassto•er the stream; While bowers beneath them form Beauty's retreat, To Wu* in Love's earliest dream. 'Tis Spting,but the Winter : has_blighted my bliss, And swept: the sweet blossoms away; For the dearest are dead, and the moos like this, Together in darkness decay. "lb Spring, but alas ! lin solitude sigh, And mournfully sad Is my mind.; For I in the summer of manhood may die, And leave the gay vision behind. 'Tis Spring, then as!ake who have Thne.wasters ban; Awake! and beware of your doom! For ere the nest Spring spreads bar garment of green, Tour eyes may be closed to the beautiful scene, And your bodies be laid in the tomb. Hiraisodsey. THE IRON MASK. It has been discovered that the person who was known by the appellation of the Man in the Iron Mask was no other than a Count Matihioli, Prime Minister of the Duke of Mantua. It appears that the cause of his im prisonment was his having sold to Spain the secret of a negotiation betwoen his master and Louis XIV. for the surrender of Casale, the capital of the Duchy of Mont serrat. The trenc h King, being much enraged at his perfidy, gave orders to his Minister to take measures for his capture. This was effected by enticing him into the French frontier, where a troop of 'horse was in rea diness to secure him. The prisoner was confined at first in Pignerol, from which place be was afterwards removed to the Bastile. The occasion of this change iu the place of his confinement was owing to the ap pointment of tile Governor of Pignerol to the Bastile. This transfer was considered expedient on account of the stratagems of the prisoner, inasmuch as it was not thought safe to intrust him to the care of a person who was not aware of his schemes and character. The story of his writing his history on a silver plate is not true.— Such a circumstance did take place, but it was at Val sin ; a poor Hug onot who was confined there inscribed _ _ some texts of Scripture on a plate, in hopes that some of his friends night pick it up, and thereby discover the place of his imprisonment. This occurrence has been mingled with the history of the Piedmontese pri soner. Tare Iron Mask w.ts confined in the strict man ner generally described, in consequence of his disposi tion for intrigue, which rendered him obnoxious and dangerous to Louis XIV. This account, which is founded on papers in the Depot of Foreign Affairs at Paris, was published many years ago. So prepossessed, however, were people in favour of the marvellous, that they rejected the truth. The prisoner was buried on th 3d of M itch, 170$ ; a tew days before his death, he told his physician, that he believed himself to be about 60 years of age. If he reckoned correctly he must have been born in 1645. THE HULKS. The hulks were first established in 1776, when the disturbances which had broken out in America had interrupted the transportation of convicts to his Ma jesty's colonies in that quarter, as practised since the year 1717. The vessels were first appointed as houses of correction for the punishment of offenders at home; they were afterwards regulated as temporary places of confintment "for convicts about to be transported, and ate now used indifferently for both these purposes.— aie of the vessels, the Justi ia, now at Woolwich, has been in use as a prison ship ever since the commence ment of the system; she was an old Indiaman when first converted into a hulk. The Bellerophon, the only vessel the expense of which is mentioned in the accounts laid befo►e Parliament, cost 12,0311. The establish ment consists at present of nine vessels, on board of which are distributed above 5000 convicted criminals. Of late Years a material improvement has taken pl :ce in the arrangement for lodging the convicts, viz, the appropriation of a separate vessel to the confinement of the boys under 14. who used formerly to be distributed ind.fferently Stith those of matnrer years. Some of the vessels are likewise set apart for the reception of the moat depraved characters; thus the worst men are. placed on board the Justitia at Woolwich, out of which such as appear likely to behave well are removed into other vessels, being liable to be lint back in case of freili misconduct. As a farther inducement to the good behaviour of the prisoners, it has been usual of late years, for the Captain of every bulk to name to the §ecretary of State, at the end of every quarter, two convicts out of every hundred confined on board each ship, for pardon ; the convicts so nominated being sr lecteel from such of those sentenced for seven years as have undergone one half of their punishment. Those who have been sentenced for longer periods may also have their time of confinetnent reduced in the first instance, and afterwards come upon the list of those recommended for pardon. Mr. Holford says he has no means of knowing what number is annually re leased in consequence of the power of nomination here mentioned ; but it appears from the Superintendent's Report of January, 1825, that 542 convicts were dis-, charged from the hulks in 1824 "by pardon or other wise." This privilege of naming a certain number of prisoners for pardon has never been allowed to the keepers of any other prisons in this country except in the case of the Millbank Penitentiary, the Managing Com mittee of which may so recommend on the ground of special merit. Contracts used to be entered into with persons • who undertook to find the hulks in which the convicts should be confined, to feed and clothe them, and supply all their wants, spiritual and temporal; and every officer and attendant on board was nominated by the contractors. This mode of management was found to be attended with many abuses, and In 1802 an Inspector was appointed by Government, and the concern of the contractors limited to that of supplying the provisions, clothing, and other necessaries for the use of the ship. The price paid to the contractor per bead, when they had the whole care of the prisoners, was at one time 881. per annum. The hulks had not any regular Chaplains attached to them when they came under the management of the Inspector, Mr. Graham, in 1802 ; but all the convict-ships, except those at Woolwich, have now separate Chaplains. The 4 salaries-of the Chaplains are considerably lower than those allowed to the Chaplains of county prisons. The latter, where the prisons contain mere than 100 pri soners, are allowed about 1501. per annum; while, though each of the convict ships must contain about 2110, it appeared-, by the Parliamertary inquiry in 1812, that the Chaplains had not more than 1501. and 2501. each. ROYAL GEORGE INDIAMAN. -.•...-___ r PURTUIR PARTICULARS. The following is a copy of a letter from Captain Timins, of the late ship Royal George, burnt at China, to the Secretary of the Committee at Lloyd's, dated Canton, January Ist, 1826 : " SIR—In extreme ill health, and under the pressure of great misfortune, 1 exert myself to perform a duty I feel due to the Committee of Lloyd's, and to condole with them %won the total destruction by fire. on the mot ning of the 24th ult. of the Hon. Company's ship Royal George, then lying at Whampoa, in readiness to proceed to the second bar with the whole of her stores on board, and perfectly equipped for sea ; when the night she received the remains of her cargo, having at this time 8,000 chests of Company's tea on board, and some private trade, shortly after the relief of the watch, at halt-past four in the morning, the officer of the deck smelt fire; an alarm was instantly given, and on lifting the tatpauling from the gunroom scuttle grating, the flames appeared in a heavy volume, which it was not in the power of human exertion to repel. A hardy band was santo the magazine, to throw overboard the powder; assistance was quickly received from the Company's ships as well as others, the chain bridles were whely slipped, and the ship taken in tow, clear of others, as she drifted down with the tide. The flames now reached every mast head, in ball an hourthe spirit room burst, and the liquor running over the orlop, the fire covered that deck like lightning; all hopes were at an end, the men were sum moned to the boats, but the brave officers and men did not quit their post at the magazine, until the flames were near the door of it. At half-past five the whole of the crew, as well as strangers, went orderly into the boats; shortly after the ship grounded, the powder exploding, stove out her bows, the hull parted abreast the foremast, she was destroyed to the water's edge, and there lay the distressing remains of one of the finest merchant ships in the whole world. " The conduct of all the Officers and crew iii this trying time was orderly in the extreme; the most un deniable proofs exist that every thing possible was done to save the ship, and the Committee will learn, and feel with myself an honest pride in the information, that this awful visitation of PRoVIDENCE has afforded the most authentic examples of the steady and brave manner in which the Officers and crew as well as strangers did their duty in this awful situation,and prove beyond denial there still remains in the breast of a British seaman an heroic self devotion in time of peril to defend and save his ship which nothing can appal ; and it shall be my care to col lect such individual instances of it which it is my impera tive duty to make known. The mercy of PROVIDENCE .is greatly apparent, that no one man has been lost or maimed in this dreadful calamity. At present no sort of clue can be had by which it can be imagined how this unfortunate calamity commenced; but a most rigid inquiry is instituted, and every possible means taken to elucidate it. It may be well to observe that the whole of the Officers and crew of the ship have passages al lotted them in the different Company's ships, and all will, most probably, be in England by the month of June. The greatest attention has been used in guarding the wreck, and Messrs. Dent and Co. appointed as Agents for the Underwriters, whose great exertions and prudent arrangements for the saving of the guns, &c. merit my perfect approSation, and to-morrow the who'e will be offered for public sale, so that it may reasonably be expected that every possible justice will be done to the Assurers of t'ris units, tuna te ship. " I have the honour to be, Sze. _ _ _ " To John Bennet, Faq. Secretary to poyd'a." 4, CIIA:RI.EB TIMINS. The General Steam NAvigation Company's vessel. the Sir Edward Balls, arrived yesterday from Hamburg!) in 54 hours, with passengers and carriages, and an im mense quantity of bullion, principally consigned to Messrs. ROTHSCHILD and Co. There are now living in the parish of Sittingbourn, six persons, whose united ages amount to 524. years. Wednesday, there was a numerous and respectable meeting held at Aylesbury, for the purpose of passing resolutions and.signing a petition for the mitigation and ultimate abolition of slavery throughout the British do. minions. The Rev. Sir GEORGE Lae, Bart. took the chair, in which he was supported by Lord Nualtet and Mr. Ittctcrono, the Members for the borough, when six resolutions on the subject v ere unanimously agreed to, and a petition to Parliament adoped by the meeting. Last week the Golfers of Crail disencumbered them selves of their upper vestments, and having deposited them in a quiet corner of the Links, finished their game, directed their steps towards the spot where they had, deposited their apparel, when, to their inexpressibl e astonishment, they found the ground strewed over with miserably mutilated fragments of their vesture, the greater h art of which had totally vanished ; the appear ones of some cows near the spot, having their horns unusually decorated with the fragments of men's attire, and one of them still chewing the cud a napkin, re vealed the mystery; and the unfortunate golfet s returned home lamenting their mutual mischance. IRON TRADE.-At the Shropshire and Staffordshire Iron Masters' Quarter•days, last week, a fall of prices took place of ten shillings per ton on melting pigs, and other kinds experienced a still greater reduction. The prices have probably been hitherto upheld by the un doubted inadequate supply of last year to the demand, and by the present diminished make. About seventeen furnaces (employing 300 men) are lately sopped or " blown out" in Staffoidshire, and the supply is calcu lated to be diminished weekly about 750 tons. In this and all countries of Europe to turn the back upon persons of rank or in authority, is considered highly improper; a-striking instance of which may be seen in the mode in which messengers from the Lords retreat along the floor of the House of Commons: but in the interior of Attica it is quite otherwise—there the Court assemble round tte Sovereign invariably with their backs to him. A young mats, clerk to Mr. M , lnroan, postmaster in Stirling, was apprehended on Sunday se`nnight, and lodged in fall, on suspicion of having been guilty of breaking open letters and &b. 'muting money from them. A man named Bentley. a shoemaker, was taken up, and examined on Thursday last, charged with assisting the glob a thefattory of Messrs. Svc's, of Accrington. near Blackburn, and on finding bail•was liberated. About five huadre4 men colleeted i that day in the neighbourhood of Eccles IBA bowin g a fi e g e but ' their object has not been asantahsed. J. H. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIOti-HOUSii. ,Ms antririeff, charged with forgery. was again brought before •the Loss blavoa, on suspicion of .having uttered a forged bill of excitant' for the sum of ASO. Mr. Henry Butler, a wine.nasecitatit, residing in Fenehnrch street, was the complainant. The unfortunate prisoner, before the charge weir entered into, exclaimed, that he was most grievously treated, in being dragged up, and charged with 'felony, for a mere matter of debt. He was new, be said, ready to pay in this instance. as he had been in the farmer.—The LOW) MAYOI said, be regretted extremely to see the prisoner a second time on a charge of forgery, but the charge must be investigated. The prosecutor stated, that the prisoner, who was well known, from Commercial transactions, to the eletks and others at the Docks, came to his house, and represented that he wanted a hogs head of wine for a Gentleman who resided at Hampton Court. The transaction was not concluded that day, and soon afterwards the prisoner came and requested the loan ot' seven pounds. He promised to return the money very soon, and left the bill in ques tion. as security for the payment of it. The bill purported to be drawn by George Drummond, of Perth, and accepted by Alex ander Drummond, of London ; and was taken in the belief that the parties were Messrs. Dripumond, the bankers. Nothing was heard of the prisoner, until an officer was employed to apprehend him.—. The prisoner declared that the bill was a good one, and that the money which be had borrowed upon it should be duly paid. The Loss MATO& said, that unfortunately the charge could not be removed by the payment of the money. The only 'node by which the prisoner could clear himself was by giving a satisfactory account of the bill. His Lordship asked the prisoner who was the Ale:ander Drummond whose name appeared on the bill?— The prisoner, after some hesitation, said, that Mr. Alexander Drummond was a pensioner of Greenwich Hospital. The Loan lilasoa--What ! a pensioner of Greenwich Hospital accept a bill for ninety pounds?—Prisoner: Yes, my Lord, be did it to oblige me. The Loa) Mayon—And who is George Drummond, of Perth ? --.He goes in the Highlands, and drives cattle. The LORD Maros assured the prisoner that he stood in'a most serious situation, and remanded the ease, in order to give the parties an opport unityl of making inquiries. GUILDHALL New War v Pay OLD Dears.—Among the crowd of Widows brought Wire the sitting Alderman yesterday, was one Mrs. Are Hormel—or " Allison Horrid," as her uncouth cognomen was en tered iu the gaoler's list. She was a comely dame—fat and forty, if not remarkably fair; and she was charged with having personated one Mr. John Atkins, with intent to defraud Mr. George Haworth, of No. 7, Montagu-place, Little Britain. It appeared from Mr. llaworth's statement he had a bachelor lodger named John Atkins; and John Atkins bad " an ugly knack" of indulging himself every &today morning, by taking his breakfast in bed. On Sunday monaing last Mr. Haworth took John Atkins's breakfast up-stairs as usual ; hut instead of John Atkins he found this " Mrs. Allison Horrid" in the bed, fast asleep, with her mouth wide open !—llere Mr. Haworth paused, apparently quite bewil dered with his /torrid reminiscences. " Well, Sir, and what happened then ?" demanded Mr. Alder man Co:. •M Dm', Sirr said Mr. Haworth—as if much puzzled by the question—l' Nothing happened tken—l hardly knew what to do for the best." " May it please your Worship," said Mr. Taylor, the constable— the very venerable and " mkt master constable" of Aldersgate Ward, who bad Mrs. Allison Horrid in custody, and then stood by her side at the bar, in all the pride. pomp, and circumstance of blue, scarlet, and gold; with his staff of dice in his right band, and his Ivory-headed walking cane in the other—" May it please your Worship, the prose:utor there is but an ignorant sort of man, and rather deaf—the more's the pity ! and as I know something of this ere business in band, I will—with your Worship's gracious per mission, give you my account of it." " Very good, Mr. Taylor," said the Alderman ; by all means let us bear what you have to say '." and thereupon Mr. Taylor very solemnly proceeded to" bestow his tediousness" upon his Worship in form and manner following: _ . _ . . . " Your Worship, yesterday morning—Sunday morning —about —let me see—aye, about nine o'clock, this good man, the prosecutor here, comes to me, at my house, in great pucker, with a cock and bull story about some great fat woman having gotten into a bed of his, against his consent and approbation. Where do you want me to go?' says Ito him. To Nu. 7, filountygu-place, Little Britain,' says he to me. ' And what do you want me to do when I get there r says Ito him. 'To get the fat woman out of my bed, -- says he—' for she's gotten into it against my consent, and I don't know what to do with her, not which way to turn myself,' says be tome. Very well—and what is all that to me? says do you think I've nothing to do on a Sunday morning but to go about pul. ling fat women out of bed?' says Ito him. Oh ! Mr. Taylor,' says he to me; but I hope you will go with me, for it's a very awkward affair." Very good, says 1;' I'll go with you, because it is my duty to aid and assist all who are in trouble; but I shall use my own dis cretion as to wbat I shall do when I come to inspect the premises.'— So I reached down my staff—as soon as I had put on my coat, and made myself a little decent; and I went with him to bis house— No, 7—Afountars-place--Little Britain. When we got there, he led me softly up the stair—and a very dark, narrow stair it was, as I ever went up in the whole course of my practice. flowage., up we went ; and when we come to the two pair back—sure enough,_ there lay a great fat woman fast asleep in the bed !—may it please your Worship." Here his Worship, and everybody else, laughed outright ; but Mr. Taylor preserved his solemnity and proceeded.— " At first, I didn't think it was a woman—for she was stripp'd, your Wo rship--stripp'd to the buff as it were, and she lay so large that for the life of sae I couldn't satisfy my own mind that she was anything but a man; and I said to the prosecutor, says I, that a woman !—she's no woman VU be bound for it,' says I. Oh! Mr. Taylor,' says be ' but she is a woman'—for the poor fellow was almost frightened out of his wits, and being very deaf I could make little or nothing of him. Oh !' says be.' but she is a woman though.' Very well, says I,' we'll soon see that ;so I clapp'd my hand upon her shoulder, and gave her a good hearty shake, and Ilalloo, Missis !' says I, ' what business have you here?—get up directly and dress yourself, that we may see what you are; ' says I. But sbe only growl'd a bit, and turned round on her side; and pro gently, in rummaging about the room, Hinds an old black gown— 'Ho ! oh!' says I, I see how it is —she's a woman sure enough— for bere's one of her fal-halls; and with that I shook her again, and insisted upon her getting up and dressing herself. Indeed,' says she, rubbing her eyes and yawning—' I can't think of dressing in your presence,' says she. ' Now, I'll tell you a piece of my mind, my girl,' says I'm an old married man, and a constable, and I'm not going to be gammoned with sham modesty, after you've been sleeping with this good man's bachelor all night,' says I••• 4 so get up and dress yourself directly, else I'll pull the bed-clothes of you, and have you out, by book or by crook, says I. At last , after a g ood deal of bother, up she gets, and here she stands by the side of me, before your good Worship. I questioned her strongly, as it was my duty to do; and she told me something, which she will now tell your Worship, I suppose; but so far as I Can understand, the bachelor lodger, John Atkins, deluded her into the room clan destinely, and left her, fast asleep, in pawn for his rent !" The prosecutor seemed to be of the same opinion with master constable, for he said, " Johp Atkins owed me two pounds arrest of tent, and I've got nothing in payment but this ere lady." Whilst these particulars were relating, the lady stood pensively gazing upon the windows of the justice-room, as though she would fain have been out of it; and when the Alderman asked her what she had to say for herself, she replied in a low melancholy tone, " I have nothing to say for myself, except that I was very much over taken in liquor on Saturday night, and some gentleman invited use home with him, and I recollect nothing else, until these gentlemen (the constable and prosecutor) woke me up yesterday morning." In reply to a question put to her from the Bench, she said sh got her living by her needle • and as none of the officers could gain say this, she was admonished and discharged; and the prosecutor was recommended to make diligent search for John Atkins, and sue him for his rent. WORSHIP-STREET. Aka Lloyd, a butcher, was fully committed for trial on a charge of stealing a soverira from Wm. Beauclerk, a Gentleman's servant. The complainant and the prisoner, utter strangers to each other, were walking in Old -street, and observed another man drop a needle-case, which the prisoner picked up, and wok out two needles. A bet was then laid between the prisoner and stranger as to the contents of the case, but the prisoner, having no change, prevailed upon the complainant to pawn his watch, and lend him a sovereign, till the bet was decided. The makes were then deposited. The needle case being examined, the two needles were found in it, and the party decamped with the money. The prisoner, however, was pursued and taken. H ATTO MG A R DEN. Yesterday, a young nun, dressed in the first style of fashion, wa s charged with robbing h 1 employer, Mr. Raphael, the barrister, of Veralans-builainp, Gray's Inn, of Bank of Angland notes to a considerable amount. The proiecnter had talked ;pea tenni occasions, since the pri NEWOATE AND LRADENHALL MARKETS, Ateess.94. Beef. .3s Od to 4s 4d I Veal es 0.1 to Ss Od Mutton .. ...... Ils 4d to 41 id I Pork Lamb Ss Od to is ed. soner had beets in his ensploy. Bank notes to a large amount; tote •knowing the highly respectable connexions of the prisoner, and hi, generally attendee deportment during the hours of business, he was the last person whom he suspected of those who had amen to the chambers. During the last month, however, a circumstance had transpired which more than ordinarily excited his suspicion that it must be some domestic depredator who had lately plundered him and stimulated him to make those inquiries which have led to th: apprehension of the prisoner. A few weeks since he (Mr. R.) rr caved money from the country, for one of his clients, and fir safe custody deposited it in his escrutoire. On the following morning he found the desk unlocked, and from the cash deposited on dm preceding day had been subtracted a Bent of Ragland note tie forty pounds. Still suspicion did not fall on the prisoner; nor mil it until within the last few days that Mr. It. had the least clue to detect the thief. Another sum of money, amounting to upwards of 2001. was, within the last few days, deposited in his cham bers, secured under lock and key ; b ut, upon the following morning, there was found a deficit of nearly &S. This Wars ashdel too serious to be tamely submitted to; and, in consequence, Mr. Its went to the Bank, to stop payment of the notes, of which be hos) fortunately the numbers. lie immediately ascertained that as..St of the notes had been paid In; amongst the rest was tire one &i s 401. stolen In March last, and which Mr. Raphael had givers Isptft lost. Upon the back of these notes was the indorsement, 4 4 Green, 28, Polygon, Somerstown," which the proms:or identified as being in the band writing of the prisoner; others bore the ad. dress of "Jones," at different places at the west•end of the town.— The prisoner had formerly resided at No. 28, Polygon. It was not until Mr. Raphael saw the notes at the Bank that he suspected the prisoner. _ _ _ Lee, the :officer, stated that he apprehended the prisoner yetuerday at a house in Nelson -street, City-road, where he had turnisb_ed apartments in a most extravagant style, and was cohabiting with's female named Ellen Lister. A large quantity of trinkets, he. fly. nished by the prisoner, was found on the premises. together with a series of amatory epistles, which bore strong evidence of the deftr sion under which the prisoner laboured from the fascirtatioo of his frail fair one. He was remanded for a future examination. T. Davey, the driver of one of the Paddington stages, was charged with stealing a sovereign, belonging to a Mr. John Langdon. It being proved that the prisoner had clandestinely put hilts his potiket a sovereign, which the prosecutor accidentally let fall when alighc ing from the stage, he was remanded. MARY.LA-BONNK. 11. Finest, who was found sleeping on some straw in le Mews in Mary-la-Bonne, was brought up under the Vagrant Act. The poor fellow said, that at the age of fourteen he entered in the India service, and bad been to Java and other places, where be lirst the use of his side, and was sent home totally unable to Work. He came lately from Ireland in search of a brother, but on arriving in London he found he was gone to Bristol, and the Int. with which he bad left Dublin, being expended, he was now quite destitute. He had applied at the India-house for the usual pension of nine. pence a day, but having no recommendation from India, the/ te• fused to relieve him. The Mendicity Society h. 4 given him Is. cm which be had subsisted three days, but was now quite exhausted, and had slept unsheltered for twelve nights. , Mr. itawtmenx expressed himself feelingly on the occasion, ordered an Officer to procure him refreshment, and then conduct him, for the present, to Mary-la-Bonne Workhouse. UNION-HALL Yesterday, a hackney-coachman, named Richard Wert!, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, R. J. Cnamseas, Esq. charged with having violently assaulted a Gentleman named &Infield, his wife, and child, on the preceding afternoon. The complainant stated, that on Sunday, as he was returning into town in his gig, accompanied by his wife and child, on proceeding along the Kent Road, the defendant, who was driving a hackney coach at a most furious rate in the contrary direction, ran Spinet the wheels of the gig, and nearly upset it. The complainant seeing the fellow bent on mischief, and completely careless as to what damage he committed, endeavoured to get out of his way, in order to save himself and family, and whilst so doing, the defendant, with. out the slightest provocation, tut away with his whip at those in the gig, by wh ch viegence on the part of the coachman Mr. Bon field, his wife, and child, were severely punished. the lash taking effect each time over their beads and shoulders. A Gentleman who witnessed the outrage, and attempted to expostulate with the der fendant on his gross conduct, also received a desperate blow on the side of the head for his pains from Ward,wko is a most powerful man. The three different tweaks being sworn to against the defesdlast, he was committed for want of bail. M. Dc TALLETRAND dined, in 1805, with the Minis ter of Finance, who did the honows of his house in his b..st style. Before M. Ds TALLZYRAND was a fine carp already cold. " M.
