PERSIAN SONG• BY SIR WILLIAM JONES Sweat maid, If thou woold'u charm my sight, And bid these arms tby neck enfold, That rosy cheek, that lily hand, Would give thy Poet morn delight, Than all Becara's vaunted gold, Than all the gems of Summand! Boy, let yon liquid ruby low. And bid thy pensive heart be glad, What.'cr the frowning *oasts say, Tell ;been their Eden cannot stew A stream so clear as Itanabad. A bower so sweet as MoseUsy! Oh! when these fair perSdlous maids, Whose eyes our secret haunts infest, Their dear destructive chums display; Bach glance my tender breast invades, And robs my wounded soul of rest, As Tartus seise their deuin'd prey! In vain with love our besonu glow, . Can all our tear% can all our sighs, New lustre to those chasms impart? Can -cheeks where living rages blow Where Nature spreads her richest dyes, Require the burrow 'd gloss of art ! - Speak not of Fate—ah ! change the theme, And talk of odours, talk of wine, Talk of the flowers that rimed us bloom; 'Th. all a cloud, 'lls all a dream! To love and joy thy thoughts confine, Nor hope to pierce the sacred gloom ! Beauty has such resistless power Tat even the chaste Egyptim: dame Sigh'd rot the blot/alai Hebrew hoi; For her - bow fatal was the hear, When to the banks of Nubs came • youth se lovely, and so esy! Bat, AI sweet maid, my counsel hear, (Tenth should attend when them advise Whom keg experience renders sage), While music charms the tavisli'd ear, While sparkling cups delight war eyes, Be gay, and scorn the frowns of age! What cruel answer have I heart! And yet, by Heaves. I lore thee still; Can aught be cruel from thy lip? Yet say, how fell that bluer weed From lips which streams of sweetness Which nought bat drops of honey sip? Go boldly forth my simple lay, Whose accents flow with artless ease. Like Orient pearls at random strung; Thy motes are sweet, the damsels say ; Hot, oh ! far sweeter, if they please The nymph tor wheal these notes are sung! LAW REPORT. COURT OF OF KING'S BENCH. JANUAIT 7. The LORD Cum JUDTICI was occupied the greater part of yesterday in trying undefended causes, accord ing to the arrangement piesiously made for that pur pose. The actions were mostly on bills of exchange. 103 ANQUZT O. BARTON. Mr. CHITTY stated this to be an action against the .defendant to recover a sum of money on a bond, which he had entered into conjointly with two other Gentle men. Mr. Peters, the subscribing witness to that instru ment, was the son of one of the obligors, and he had tofu ad to come forward and give evidence against his father. The plaintiff was, therefore, compelled to sub mit to a nonsuit before he was in a situation to proceed against the witness Peers, or to issue out an attachment against him for not attending on his sub rcena.—The plaintiff was then nonsuited from not be:ng aisle to prove it. signature of the defendant to the bond in question. Accounts from Switzerland, of the 27th of Dec. state, th t , 0 The interrogatrries of the thieves in Zurich are continuel without intermission. Before examining the two members of the Government the Commissioners desire to discover, as far as possible, the truth or false !) od of the statements hitherto made by the bands." Caraccas Papers to the 17th November have been received. The latest accounts from Peru state that BOLIVAtt was still at Cusco. It is reported that Gen. Beau. had at length sent an intimation to the Indepen dent General,, that he was willing to enter into nego tiations far the surrender of Callao. In Colombia the inhabitants are very busy in electing Members for the Congress to meet early in January. The property tax, of 10 per cent. levied in Colombr as a war tax, and abolished, has again been levied, ohich has occasioned a great outer y against the existing Government. It is reported in Paris, that the remonstrances of the different Greek Committees in Europe to the Executive' Government at Napoli di Romania, relative to their re f oral to grant military rank to some of the French, and other officers, who had entered their service, have at length produced the desired effect ; and that all volun teers who have previously held rank in Europe, and cad furnish certificate) to that effect, from the D:pu ties or either of the Committees, %sill be entitled to serve one step higher, and to enjoy the same pay as native officers. The French Papers give some intelligence from Greece, which, if true, is important. A bark had ar rived at Corfu from Calamoi am the 6th De ember, with news that the Chicks lird attacked the Turkish fleet before Patr ra; and that the !mule had ended by the corlirgratior, of a large Ottoman frigate, three cor vettes, and the captui eof six transports. If this be cor rect. it may set ye to dimini.h the confidence of Ibrahim Paella, who is said to have summoned Missolonghi to surrender, and to have allowed to its heroic garrison until the 17th of December for accepting his mercy, 4 4 after which they should all be put ao the sword."— Tbe Greeks returned for answer, " that they waited for him under the walk of their city, where 'the articles of tapitulation might be more amply discussed." The meeting at Sleaford on Monday, to form an Association for the protection of British Agriculture, was most respectably attended. The County Members, Sir WILLIAM INHILHY and Mr. CHAPLIN, took part in the business of the day, and were-deservedly thanked for their devotion to the agricultural interest. On the evening of Saturday week, seven ruffians forc•hly entered the house of a poor man, at Millbank, in Bradford, of the name of Malone, when one of them throw a brick or a stone, which struck the man's wife in such a manner as to fracture her skull. Sargical assistance was procured immediately, but the poor woman, after lingering a week, expired on Saturday last. Mr. Sherwin, the surgeon, on being sent for, gave directions to send for the constable, who came and ap prehended four of the men, two of whom afterwards escaped. Two others have been apprehended since.— Tuesday last an Inquest was held over the body of the woman, and a verdict of Manslaughter was brought in against the seven men, three a ',born have been cons-, si.i.ted to York Castle. One of them had been previously sent to Wakerld as a 'reprint. WINTER ASSIZES.. --.0.- MAIDSIVIM 3610 a ST 7. John Ihrton was indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Page, by stabbing him with a knife at Sand gate, on the 18th of November last. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner and de ceased wete mariners, the former about Mu' years of age, and the latter twenty-six, at the time of his death. On the 18th November last, the land.otd of the Ship at SanJgate, gat e what is called a Ironer warming to some of his customers, amongst whom were the prisoner and the deceased. After supper the prisoner, who was ad waltzed in liquor, had a squabble with one of the guests named Gifford, and shortly afterwards vent into the kitchen. Whil-t sitting there, the deceased came behind him and rubbed his face with his hands. The prisoner expressed some indignation at this liberty, and desired the deceased to leave off his tricks. The deceased left the kitchen, and in a few minutes after returned with his hands blackened, and then besmeared the prisoner's face from behind as before. The prisoner itarted up in an angry manner, drew a clasp knife from his pocket, which he opened, and pursued the deceased to the door, but the latter escaped. In two minutes after he re turned, and approaching the prisoner, addressed hint by the nickname of II 'stack, a.id said, Is we mean to have a spree to-nigh:: The pi otter, w ho had kept the knife open in his hand, immediately started up and ex claimed, " You are the man," rushed at the deceased, and stabbed him in the lower part of the belly. Tire deceased, unconscious at the moment of being wounded, seized the primmer by the arms and called to the p.r sons present to take the knife from him. At this moment, the deceased perceiving that he was wounded, said, "Oh Lord, lam gabbed; the d—d old rascal has stab bed me Thikproduced an immediate examination of hiv person, IQ it *ai found that he had a considerable wound in the lower 'part of the abdomen, from which the intestines Were.irotruding. A surgeon was directly sent for, bat the deceased lingered until the 24th, when he died of mortification. These facts were proved by several witnesses. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was so much in toxicated on the evening in question, that he had no distinct recollection of what passed ; he had known and been on friendly terms with the deceasel for a great many years, and bme him no malice whatever. He had been very ill used during the evening, and if, in a moment of temporary passion, produced by that, and intoxication, he had been the unfortunate cause of the fatal injury, he deeply lamented it. Mr. Baron HULLOCK summed up the case for the Jury with great minuteness, and after defi , iii.g the law of wilful homicide, left it to them to determine whether the prisoner, in the short space of two minutes, which had elapsed from the time of his receiving the personal indignity put upon him by the deceased, and the re turn of the latter to the room where the wound was in flicted, had time enough to recover his cool judgment ? for if they were of opinion that he_ had not, the case could only amount to manslaughter;but, if thry thought otherwise, it would be murder. The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found the prisoner guilty of 1/ansbughter. The Learned Baron, a'ter an impressive admonition to the prisoner, told him his case was attended with so few circumstances of palliation, that he found himself bound to carry the sentence of the law in cases of man slaoghtes to its greatest extent, and he therefore ad judged that he should be transported for life. liichard Newman, 17, William Newman, 51, and William Sherwood, 20, were tried for sheep stealing, at Lymphe, and another indictment was preferred against them for stealing three pigs, the property of Mr. Mar shall, of Standford. The Jury, after a few minutes consultation found all the prisoners Guilty, and sen- Lrerce of death was recorded. At the same Assizes, William Brown, aged 36, indicted for burglarionsly stealing from the dwelling of John Alen, at aromley, on the 29th December, a copper and a sack, of the value of 40s. James Jenher, indicted for buiglariously breaking into the dwelling-house of James Dawes, at Edenbridge on the 9th of Nov. and stealing therefrom a quantity of goods ; Janus King, aged 28, indicted for feloniously stealing on the 23d of December, a sheep, value 11. 15s. the property of Frederick Perkins, Esq. at Lee. were all found utak', and simi'arly sentenced, Larkin Foreman was indicted for forging and ut tering, knowingly, a coenterfett cheque for 651.65. upon the bank of Messrs. Day and Sons, at Cranbrnok, on the 15th of August, with intent to defraud Samuel Udale Peen. There were other counts varying the mode of charging the offence imputed to the prisoner. It appears in evidence, that Mr. Peen, a tanner, kept cash at Messrs. Day and Son's bank, at Rochester. He had had some dealing with Mr. Bassett, a butcher, in the mo-,th of Jane last, and gave him a cheque upon the bank for Sl. Gs. 9d. At Cria:barin market, on the 25th of the same month, the prisoner, who was by trade a butcher, and also the keeper of a toll-gate at Todaurst, took the cheque from Mr. Ba•sett's appren tice, and gave him t• e ca.h f r it. On the 15. h of August, the prison •r presented the cheque to a Mr. Alarchant, a tiadesman of Cranbrook, requesting him to ca.h it. The ch , que was at that time altered from 3/. 6s. 91. to 631. Gs. 9d. and the signa me of Mr. IPeen had the sso.d " fold" added to it. Mr. Marchant sa'd be had not sufficient cash for the purpose, but advised bun to take it to the banking-huuse of Mr. IKing, in the same ton n. The prisoner went there, but returned, saying that there was such a crowd at Mr. King's, in consequence of a run upon the bank, that he couLi not get in. Mr. Marchant then went back sit h hiinto King's, who, upon seeing the cheque, expressed a doubt of its authenticity ; but said, that if upon inquiry it tinned out to be genuine, be would cash it, the pri soner agreeing to take some of his notes in payment. The prisoner left the cheque, and on inquiry it turned out to be forged in the particulais abovementioned.— Evidence was given to shew that the cheque was' a for ge ry to the extent charged. The primmer said nothing in his defence. but called a peat many witnevars, who gave him an excellent character. BIG Damn litnamie odd the Jury there was no evidence of the forgery, but left them to determine whether the prisoner bad uttered the cheque knowing it to have been forged? The Jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of the uttering. There was a second indictment against the prisoner for a similar offence in uttering a forged cheque upon the Arm of gdineadts and Co. bankers, Maidsmne, but this was not poi/muted. Sentence of Death was passed upon the prisoner. The Anises ended late on Saturday evening. Mademoiselle Ds Binanon, the daughter of a Pari sian surgeon, was the first who invented the making of anatomical subjects of wax and rags. She modelled her imitations upon corpses, and they were executed with such perfection, that Sir W. Palmas, on seeing them, said, if They want nothing but the smell." ,JAMAIT 7. Sttpday, arrived his Majesty's Alp Ariadne, 28, Cap tain J.Fleming Chapman, from the Cape of Qood Hope station, having been telieved by the Samarang, vs, Cap tain Dunn. The Ariadne left the Mautitius, for the Cape of Good Hope, on the 25th of August last, and arrived at the Cape on the 2Sd of September, touching at Tamatave, a pore of Madagascar, on her way. Ater refitting at the Cape, she sailed from thence on the 2lst rit October, leaving there Commod ite Christian, t the Owen Glendower; also the Leven, Captain William F. Owen; Barracouta, Captain Vidal; and the Albatross cchooner, composing the surveying squadron about to proceed to the Coat of Africa. The Ariadne arrved a: St. Helena the sth of Noventer, and 1. ft the When on a cruise on the 25t0 of Novcm'ser, off St., Lucia's Bay, on the west end of Madagascar, the officer. of the watch announced a schooner being in right of the roads of that:lnch:wage, on beating which, Captain Chapman sent the first cutter, under the c•lnmand of Lieutenant Eversfield, with the second cutter in com pany, under the island of St. Lucia, on hoard the sa;d schooner, being under an impression that she was a slaver. On the first cu:tet's heaving in sight of the vessel, s! e set her tore topsail, cut let cables, and ran on shore on the beach ; oa her d ing so, Lieutenant Ever:field ordered Mr. Nelson to fire a musket, but to he careful not to file on 1) ,, a1d her ; this he repeated, .eni the second cutter followed the Commanding Offi cer's motions. On Lieutenant Evetsfield boarding the schooner, he observed several bodies floating; he then ordered the boats, with a part of the crew, to pick up those who wet e drowning, and they succeeded in saving a gray many of the unfortunate slaves. On Lieutenant Eversfield's arrival on board, he endeavoured to quell the fears of the negroes, and the poor creatures soon disc.vered, from the humane conduct of their captors, that their lot was at least to be ameliorated ; they were released from their confinement, and ate and drank at all they could find on board, - votaciously, as ti ey were nearly famishing, and suffered greatly korn w .nt of water; indeed, it is almost impossible to conceive the dreadful situation in which these slaves were when taken, cooped up in so small a vessel as scarcely to be able to move, and deprived of air Borer their mode of confinement: the only food they had was a kind of common bean, and the little water allowed tl em was very bad. It was really gratifying to see the joy now depicted on the care-worn countenances of these poor beings. Lieutenant Eversfield, with the assistance of the Master, Mr. Thompson, who had by this time ar rived in the gig, endeavotued to get the sch.mner off, but could not succeed, as she had b. en scuttled in the act of running on shine. No papers or documents of any kind were found on board. She proved to be the Walter Farquhar, a notorious vessel in the Slave Trade. The slaves, furniture, &c. saved, were afterwards con demned by the Admiralty Court at tl.e Mauritius.

This proposition was una nimously approved. A wish was expressed - on this occ .sion that the Library might be always open, and a salary given to the Librarian, which would enable him to devote his whole time to it. The following is given in a foreign journal as an ac count of the number of Officers who have entered into the service of the (;reeks:—French, 2 Generals, 3 Colonels, 7 Captains, and 21 Lieutenants and Sub- Lieutenants; Spanish, Portuguese, Luskin, and Pied montese, 2 Generals, 5 Colonels, $3 Captains, Lieu tenants, and Ensigns; English and American 35, but respective ranks not stated; the number of subalterns of different nations exceeds 100.

The poor creatute was delivered into the care of a watchman, who removed him to the next beat, where he was left to perish !—The Coroner made some remarks upon the conduct of the watchman (Clarke) which he said was highly disgraceful, as there could be no doubt, if he had conveyed the deceased to the watch-house, when he had' the charge of him, his life might have been sayed.—Verdiet, "Died by the visi tation of GOD."

He applied to have his money back, which, however, Mr. Adey refused to give him, and he therefore hoped his Lordship would km a summons to compel him to do so. The Loan Mayor saidohat several similar applications had been made to the late Lord Mayor, but were productive of no good/ u when once the money got into Mr. A.'s hands, there was very little chance of ever getting it b.ck again.

The property had been missed from time to time, and Harrison. the Marshalinen, was set to watch the shopmen and porters i but to little purpose, until Morris, the receiver, let out too muck of the truth as to what was passing, to her landlady, who gave the club to Messrs. Wiltshire, and caused Buchanan, who had over once bees suspected, to be taken into custody.

On entering the dice, he presented himself to Lloyd, the officer in wa* ' g. but spoke to him with such an extreme purity of dialect, that he was scarcely intelligible. Lloyd (though not versed in the classics) had an instinctive partiality for the Dark dialect, and therefore begged the farmer to make his story Agit It was then understood that about s week ago the farmer had taken a place bone (gibes:sacks. from York to London, for the purpose of transacting coloaiLrcutt business in Batithlkld. Previously to the coach *tailing, he re tired to a public-house adjoining the coach office, for the purpose 'of preparing himself for the road, and with that intent he or dered a pint of ale and a pipe of tobacco. He was scarcely comfortable, when the guard came and roared out that the • was starting. In his telt he dropped his pipe, left all behind him, and made for the coach ; they had scarcely travelled two miles, when au easterly wind kindly reminded him that he had left behind him his travelling coat. Ha begged the coachman to stop for a few minutes while he tau back for it; but this he moat uncivilly refused. He then asked the guard, " if there was a leather trunk safer (alluding to his awn} to which t►e guard replied in the afannative. With this consolation be weathered matters out until t►e coach arrived iu London. Oa stopping at Fleet market, he set him down. No farmer's " leather trunk" could be found, though there were numerous others. This was the more lamentable as all his money was safely deposited in this trunk, like the Irishman's travelling pistols; so there he was at Fleet-market, without a shilling to go to market with. Whets he called the guard and coachman to account, they both laughed at him, called him a damned fool," and drove WE Lloyd asked the farmer if he suspected that his trunk was lost on the road? The farmer replied, that he lad se doubt it was left behind at the pubic home, with his cad, ale, and pipe of tobacc o ; he only wanted to pu nish the guard and coachman for calling him " a damned fool." On being informed that this could not be done, he walked of, sensibly affected by this stigma on ins county. DIARLBOROIJGILSTREET. Saturday, a young man of respectable appearance, named fres.

Ames Led, a spruce looking barber, was charged with defraud. ing kW employer, Mrs. Hopkins, of several sums of money. Mrs. Hopkins, who keeps a ►air-vatting establishment in the neighbourhood of Piccadilly, stated, that the prisoner had been four years in ber employ, and has been in the habit of going out to dress Ladies and Gentlemen's hair ,and ought always oa his return, at the end of the duty, to account with her for the receipts from the custbasers. On the 34 of December the prisoner was sent to dress Lord hlaryborough's hair, for which be received 3s. ed. he also was sent to Kensington-gore to dress five young Ladies of the name of Smith, and part of ibis money be also kept back. The valet of Lord Maryborough stated, that he paid the prisoner 3s. 54. on account of Mrs. Hopkins, for dressing his Lordship's, hair on the day in question. Mies Sarah Smith stated, that the prisoner cut ber own and tour of her sisters hair on the day named, and site herself paid ►int Is. 64. for cutting herself, but w►at her sisters paid she could not swear ; she supposed, however, they paid him the same each.
