~?~,' ~i 11:1 1 01 i ik SIR W. RLACKSTONE. Frith. Dr. LARDNER'S Cabiact Cyeluperdids, Vol. V. being Lives uj Eminent /amp rs, by H. ROSCOE, EN. William Blackstone, whose name has become per hap.: mire familiar than any other in the mouths of Eng lish lawye, , , was the fourth son of Mr. Charles Black stone, a silkman and citizen of London, by Mary, the eldest daughter of Lovelace Bigg, Esq. of Chilton Foliot, in the county of Wilts. He was born on the 10th of July, 1723, after the death of his father, and ho had also the misfortune to lose his mother before he was twelve ',ears of age. His uncle, Mr. Thomas Bigg, an eminent surgeon in London, took charge of his education, and at the age of seven years he vas admitted on the foundation of the Charter House. When he attained the age of fif teen he had risen to the head of the school, and was at that early period of life admitted a Commoner of Pem broke College, Oxford. His progress both at the Charter House and at Oxford was distinguished, and he was elected to an exhibition both at the school and at the college. Having selected the law as his profession, he became a member of the Middle Temple on the 20th of November, 1741. Hitherto he had applied himself ex clusively to literary and scientific pursuits : but in enter ing upon the severer studies of his profession, be con ceived it necessary to abandon the more pleasing avoca tions to which he had devoted himself. The feelings which this change induced he has expressed in some, lines, remarkable for the elegance both of the style and of the sentiment : THE LAWYER'S FAREWELL TO HIS MUSE. " As, by some tyrant's stern command. A wretch forsakes his native land, In foreign climes condemn'd to roam, An mites. exile from his home; Pensive he treads the destined way, And dreads to go, nor dares to stay ; Till on some neighbouring mountain's brow He stops, and turns his eye below ; There, melting at the well-known view, Drops a last tear, and bids adieu : So I, thus doom'd from thee to part, Gay queen of fancy and of art, Reluctant move with doubtful mind, Oft stop, and often look behind ! " Companion of my tender age, Serenely gay, and sweetly sage, How blithsome were we wont to rove By verdant bill, or shady grove Where fervent bees with humming voice Around the honey'd oak rejoice , And aged elms, with awful bend, In long cathed ral walks extend:! Lull'd by the lapse of gliding floods, Chcer'd by the warbling of the woods, How West my days, my thoughts how free, In sweet society with thee ! Then all was joyous, all was young, And years unheeded roll'd along : But now the pleasing dream is o'er, — These scenes must charm me now no more : Lost to the field, and torn from you, Farewell !-4 long, a last adieu! " The wrangling courts, and stubborn law, To smoke, and crowds, and cities draw ; Their selfish Faction rules the day, And Pride and Avarice throng the way ; Diseases taint the murky air, And midnight conflagrations glare; Loose Revelry and Riot bold, In frighted streets their orgies hold ; Or when in silence all is drown'd, Fell Murder walks her lonely round; No room for peace, no room for you— Adieu, celestial Nymph, adieu! Shakspeare no more, thy sylvan son, Nor all the art of Addison, Pope's heaven-strung lyre, nor Wallet $ ease. Nor Milton's mighty self must please : Instead of these a funnel band In furs and coifs around me stand, With sounds uncouth, and accents dry That grate the soul of harmony. Each pedant sage unlocks his store Of mystic, dark, discordant lore ; And points with tottering hand the way That lead me to the thorny maze ! " There, in a winding, close retreat, Is Justice domed to fix her seat ; There, fenced by bulwarks of the law, She keeps the wondering world in awe ; And there, from vulgar sight retied, Like eastern queens, is much admired! " Oh ! let me pierce the secret shade, Where dwells the venerable maid ! There humbly mark, with reverent awe. The guardian of Britannia's law; Unfold with joy her sacred page (The united boast of many an age, Where mix'd though uniform appears The wisdom of a thousand years), In that pure spring the bottom view, Vicar, deep, and regularly true, And other doctrines thence imbibe, , Then lurk within the sordid scribe ; ' Observe how parts with parts unite In one harmonious rule of right ; . ' See countless wheels distinctly tend, By various laws, to one great end ; While mighty Alfred's piercing sod Pervades and regulates the whole ! " Then welcome business, welcome strife, Welcome the cares, the thorns of life, The visage wan, the pere.blind sight, The toil by day, the lamp by night, The tedious forms, the solemn prate, The pert dispute, the dull debate, • The drowsy bench, the babbling bans For thee, fair Justico, welcome all ! " Thus, though my noon of life be past, Yet let my setting sun at last Find out the still, the rural cell Where sage Retirement loves to dwell! There let me taste the home felt bliss Of innocence and inward peace; Untainted by the guilty bride, Uncurled amid the harpy tribe ; No orphan's cry to wound my ear, My honour and my conscience clear ; Thus may I calmly meet my end, Thus to the grave in peace descend !" INSANITY.—It appears from an official report relative to the inmates of Charenton, near Paris, that the months during which there is the greatest number of patients in that establishment art June, July, and August, and the least January, May, and November. The age at which this malady most frequently manifests itself is from thirty to thirty-five. More than half of the inmates are unmar ried, and the majority are females. There are usually few married men or widowers. AGRICOLTURE.—The Paris Central Society of Agri culture, at its last sitting, awarded the following prizes : 2,000 francs to Messrs. Flackat and Mulot for their process of boring for Artesian wells. Another, for the same object, to Messrs. Fraisse and Poitevin, and ago a gold medal to M. Favel ; 1,000 francs to M. Paten for s memoir on the use which may be made of the carcasses of domestic animals when dead ; and other prizes of small amounts, on different subjects, making altogether 7,000 francs. Several gold and silver medals were also pre sented. The prizes next year are to be, first, 1,500 . francs for the best treatise on the use which may be made of the dead bodies of domestic animals ; 1,500 francs for the best treatise on the blindness of horses ; 3,500 francs for the best model of a threshing and winnowing ma chine ; 3,000 for t the best treatise on the mode of boring i for water • 1,000 Tram foi:lb.e. best treatise on the cul ture . of 'th ee pink poppy. Three prises are also announced for 1834. Literary Gazette. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The season cloud last week, the Duke of Buccleuch's hounds having kept the field as long as it was possible; and, in spits of the protracted snow storms of winter, and the great drought of the spring months, there has been so much good sport, that the noble. men and gentlemen of the hunt continue to be delighted with the country, and with the prospect of the further enjoyment, in it, of their favourite and exhilirating amusement. Among those who came from a distance, the following left the Cross Keys Hotel here, about a fortnight ago :—Captain Patrick Maitland, William Forbes Esq. Sir John Hope, Bart. Sir Ralph Anstruther, Bart. Captain Anstruther, Captain Da/ziel, Sir Robert O'Callaghan, Captain Cheape, R.N. Mr. Campbell of Olensaddle, Lord Elcho, John Whyte Melville, Esq. Andrew Fletcher, Esq. Sir David Baird, Bart. Mr. Dick, Archibald Butter, Esq. Colonel M`Lain of Ard gout. A correspondent thus describes the last week of the hunt in the west of Roxburgshire—" The Duke of Buccleuch's fox-hounds have just closed the most brilliant season ever witnessed in Rox burghshire.—During their last week they killed nine foxes out of ten (all dog foxes too}—after most severe and splendid runs, in which the hounds maintained the character for training and disci pline for which they are remarkable above any in Scotland. Such a close of the season was the more gratifying that it was totally unlooked for. The country appeared so dry, that many of the gen tlemen, imagining that no more sport was to be expected, left the hounds at Kelso. But rain came, and the scent never lay better ; the company that remained, and t he very hounds themselves, seemed I determined to show how much the seceders had lost. The horses I could not live with the dogs, and in some cases the riders could not live with the horses. The Duke attended the hunt a fortnight after most of the sportsmen had left Kelso, and seemed most desirous to please every one who joined in the sport."—kelso Mail. EXECUTION OF MR. COMYN IN ENNIS. Wednesday this wretched man expiated at the gallows the offence of which he had been guilty against the laws of his country. From the moment that he became aware that there was no hope to be entertained from the govern ment, lie devoted himself to religion, and continued un ceasingly to exercise himself in its duties. At half-past two o'clock the wretched man, attended by six Catholic Clergymen, was brought into the press-room. He was dressed in a suit of black, and had a silk handkerchief loosely tied round his neck. After praying for about half an hour, he arose, and beckoned to the executioner to do his duty. While his arms were binding, and the other preparations were making necessary for his execution, he seemed either regardless or unconscious of what was doing—his eyes remained fixed in one position, while his lips were moving as if in prayer. When he was told that all was ready, he kissed each of the Clergymen on the cheek, and desired that he might be conducted to the drop. About three o'clock he was led forth, and being placed upon the drop, not more than a few seconds inter vened till it fell, and life became at once extinct, the un fortunate man appearing to die without a struggle. The body, after hanging the usual time, was placed in a coffin and removed the same evening to Corofin, where it was met by the many numerous and respectable relatives of the deceased. Three of the illegitimate children of Mr. Comyn were with him in prison. It would be impossible to describe their agony and distress at the moment of parting from their miserable parent, who displayed in the interview with them, the same steadiness of nerve, and firmness of mind, which marked his demeanour up to the moment of his death. As a mark of respect for the family of Mr. Comyn, and as a testimony of commis aeration for his fate, the inhabitants of Ennis had their shops closed the entire of Wednesday. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A MOTHER AND HER TWO CHILDREN,PROM STARVATION. Three fellow creatures have perished in this neighbour hood, the victims of hunger and cold. A poor woman with her two children, driven by griping poverty to seek that sustenance which nature wants, by begging for it among the humane and charitable, in making her way from one village to another, had to pass through a tract of unsheltered bog, about six or seven miles to the north east of Killarney, in the centre of which they were found by a countryman on Sunday morning, lifeless corpses, having, in all probability, been so since the preceding Friday, which was here a rather severe and bitter day. They were strangers here, and were not recognised, save as having been seen during the previous week begging from house to house in the usual manner, and it is sup • posed that the poor woman, exhausted from previous suf fering and want, had not sufficient strength to make her way in the tempestuous weather through this black moor, but sunk down mid-way to rise no more. The poor little innocents who accompanied her, being out of view of any house, and unable to act of themselves, sat down with her, and night overtaking them, they perished together. The spectacle presented by the clay-cold group, and the conviction to the beholder of the manner of their death, was irresistibly affecting. The mother of the little fa mily, a rather young woman of mild and interesting fea tures, lay extended on her back at fall length, as if asleep; supported in her right arm, on which it rested, lay the body of her younger child, a female about four years old, and with its face downwards; across the parent's knees, as if embracing them, lay a fi ne boy, apparently of the age of eight years. The scene was indescribably moving and heart-rending. Their habiliments were wretched and ragged, denoting extreme destitution and poverty of no recent date ; the scanty and miserable attire of the whole three being scarcely sufficient to give shelter to a single limb. What a crying and cruel sin that some parochial refuge is not afforded in cases of such utter and helpless deprivation ! An inquest being held, and all the circum stances investigated as far as possible, the jury returned a verdict of " Died of cold and exhaustion."—Tralee Mercury.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 3. MURRAY V. HEATH. Mr. Wm.!. x moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside and a new trial had. It will be recollected that this was an action to try the right of engravers to retain copies of works engraved by themselves for employers. This cause has been twice tried. In the first instance the verdict was for the defendant, and in the second the Jury found for the plaintif.— The ground on which the motion was now made appeared to be a defect in the evidence. It was contended that the plates detained by the defendant had not been exposed to sale, contrary to the 17th of George 111. The Court granted a rule to shew cause. WILLIS V. PROCTOR. This action was brought by a horse dealer, against the defendant, an Under Graduate at Oxford, to recover 1001. fur a fine horse. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff'. Mr. Juxers moved to set aside the verdict on the ground that it had been given against evidence and the direction of the Judge. —lt was also alleged that the horse was unsound. The Learned Counsel contended that proof had been given at the trial that the de. fendant was under age at the time the horse was purchased. The Court, under all the circumstances, granted a rule to 'hew cause. COLL/NS V. OODEFROY. Mr. CAMPBELL moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted in this ease, or a verdict entered for the plaintiff. It was an action tried at Guildhall before Lord Tenter den, and was brought by the plaintiff; an attorney, to recover the sum of six guineas for loss of time. It appeared on the trial that Mr. Collins had been subpcenaed by the defendant as a witness in a cause in which he (Mr. Godefroy) was plaintiff. He In conse. quence attended the Court of Common Pleas for six succeeding days, for which he charged one guinea per day. On application to the defendant he refused to pay it, and an action was brought to re cover the sum, in which the plaintiff was nonsuited, the Judge holding that the statute did not allow of an attorney bringing an action for loss of time. Mr. Campbell now contended that the statute allowed compensation fur loss of time to attor neys and medical men. Lord TENTERDEN—The declaration was for loss of time, and the only question foe us to consider is, whether or not the Court have power to give it. Mr. CAMPBELL—It is a question of very great Importance to the profession. Lord TENT Ea/A N—lt was Arch an action as no wise man would have thought of bringing. Mr. CAMPBELL felt confident there was nothing in the statute to prevent the Court giving compensation for loss of time. If an attorney was obliged to leave his office for days together, it might prove his ruin. Mr. Justice BAY LEY—You may say the same of every other man, Mr. Campbell. In answer to a question by the COURT. one of the Masters said they never allowed for loss of time to gentlemen, clergymen, or merchants. ______. The COURT, after some consultation, granted a rule to show cause. MARSHALL V. ...-. This wu an action to recover the sum of 111. I9g. It wu tried at Worcester. Verdict for defendant. _ _ _ Mr. CAMPBELL now moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground that the verdict was con trary to evidence. He would not trouble the Court with partieu lan, but read an affidavit relating to an expression made use of by defendant at the time of trial. On being told that the verdict would be against him, he replied, "Oh no, hiinshull (one of the Jury) will not have it so; he knows all about it." The affidavit then went on to state that Minshull was observed to be vety active In the jury box. Lord TzwrzaDEY—Take a rule to show cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS-MAY 3.. TANNER W. HAGUE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who had been a clerk In the employment of the defendant, an attorney, for the re. covert' of 141. The plaintiff was subsequently arrested by the de fendant for 3001. and lodged in Horsemonger.lane goal, from which place of imprisonment he was, however, released, upon his giving the defendant a note of hand for 201. and an undertaking to forego the trial. Upon a former day, Mr. Sergeant WILDS, on the part of the plaintiff, obtained a rule to show cause why the matters in dispute between the parties should not be referred to the Officer of the Court. _ _ - - Mr. Sergeant ADAMS showed cause against the rule this morn. ing, ind read several affidavits in support of his opposition. The Court., after hearing Mr. Sergeant WILDS: in reply, or dered the matter to be referred to the Prothonotary. A CHILD LOST IN AN ISLAND IN THE INDIAN SEAS.—The following extraordinary notice appeared last week in some of the Edinburgh papers. Is it a hoax ? " In the year 1816, while a party were upon one of the islands in the Straits of Sundy, a lady and a female child about three years of age, had separated from the com pany, and were attacked by three Malays. At the in stant, a young man, supposed to be a seaman, and hav ing on a jacket with the East Indian Company's buttons (it having been found upon the island when search was made,) came to their assistance ; ho had a small gun. The lady recollects of one Malay being shot, and she saw another carrying off the child, which has not since been heard of. The present advertisement is, if possible, to ascertain whether the child was carried off by the Malays, or by the young gentleman before alluded to. The latter seems probable, as two Malays were found dead, but no traces or information respecting the young gentleman could be obtained. What has since transpired is as fol lows .—The young gentleman appeared to be about se venteen years of age, with excessive fair hair hanging in ringlets down his back. A boat was seen in the Straits English built. In the pocket of his jacket was part of a letter, beginning " dear nephew," and dated " Edinburgh, Jan. 1816," and the initials W. M. G. sewed inside the collar. Part of the child's dress, much stained with blood, was also found. By information re ceived from the natives, it would appear that it must be the same person known to them by the strange cognomen of the "Pretty Devil," and he was about five feet seven inches high, light blue eyes, and slender made. If the gentleman is still alive, or any other who can throw any light upon the subject, they may depend upon remunera tion, and if Providence has spared the life of the child, she may be restored to the bosom of affectionate parents, who are willing to settle an annuity (if required) upon any individual who can give satisfactory information." SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—The Liverpool Mer cury states the following as a fact, and avers, that it took place near the village of Upton-in-Wirral, near Cheshire :—A female, of respectable appearance, with an infant of colour at her breast, entered the cottage of a labouring man, whose family consisted of a wife and se veral small children. The visitor was welcomed to the homely dwelling, and on observing an infant in the cradle, she wished to ascertain the child's age, and seemed pleased to find it correspond with her own. She then inquired by what means the family were maintained, and being informed that their only support arose from the husband's labour, with much sympathy and kind feel ing observed,--" Suppose some friend made you a pre sent of five hundred pounds, to open a small shop, don't you think it would be a means of helping you to bring up your family ?"—" Yes, madam"' replied the poor woman, " but I have no such friend ;" upon which the lady took from her pocket-book a five hundred pound Bank of England note, and presented her with it. The astonished cottager, struck speechless by such unexpected good luck, was roused from her stupor by her benefac tress requesting change of a sovereign, meaning to share it amongst the rest of the children. Twenty shillings being a sum not often seen by the woman, she replied, " 0 dear, Madam, I have not one shilling ; but, if you'll wait, I'll go to the village, about a quarter of a mile distant, and get it for you." The poor woman, in high glee, made the best of her way towards Upton ; but before she had reached a hundred yards from her door, the generous benefactress placed her swarthy offspring in the cradle, and made a precipitate retreat with the fair-complexioned infant, leaving the woman to console herself, on her return, with a frill r tto child in one hand, and five hundred pounds in the other. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. EXTRAORDINARY CASE Or EARTARDY......A case of a v.Ay singular description came on before the LORD MAYOR yesterday The Of of the Parish of All Hallows, London-wall, were sun, moned before the LORD MAYOR by a young woman, ag o at , o „. 21 or 22 year!, for having turned her and her illegitimatf.• child tau of the workhouse ; although she had, with the knowledge of th. parish, established a settlement there by servitude. The circumstances were these :—About eleven months ago, di• claimant, who resided with her father, took it into her head to go A fair, and told him her intention. He, however, put a stern prolaa bition upon her, unwilling that she should act a bad example to th rest of the family. In fact, he said, "if you insist upon gong don't come back to any house." She persisted in her object : auto she also attended to one part of her father's instruction_alle did not again enter his doors. By what means she procured a Inch. hood, between the period of that unfortunate visit to the fair, sad , few weeks ago, is not known; but she applied, in great misery, t„, humane parish officer of St. Stephen's, Coleman-street, to sh oji her family was known, and he at once passed her to her own panel,, in the workhouse of which she was delivered of a child. As soo n as she was able to answer the interrogations usual upon ocusl ar , of adding to the numbers dependent upon parochial relief, ehe wa d questioned by the proper authorities, and proved her claim, but A. delared herself wholly unable to point out the father of hal. child This failure in fixing the paternity was fatal in the eyes of the Oh cers, and it was determined that until she should enable them a. " put the saddle upon the right hone," she and her child should h. minus as to the necessaries of life. They accordingly made her . present of three shillings, and turned her out of the workhorse. n i . could not apply to her father; for even if his heart should ha. , softened towards her, after her long absence, and the suffiaings eh • had undergone from her disobedience, another calamity had ()mums; to him in the change of the conduct of his wife, who had of la, taken most unmercifully to gin, and was now supported 1 y in a neighbouring workhouse. The LORD lUseiron asked the officer of AU-Hallows, Lo at h., wall, what grounds there were for refusing the necessary relief - The officer stated that she had peremptorily refused to let th • authorities know who the father war; besides, her father was 41: to support her, and she ought not therefore to be allowed to remain a burthen upon the parish. Mr. Ellis, the officer of St. Stephen's, Coleman-street, who hat passed the young woman to her own parish, stated that he had so lcmnly declared that she did not know who the father of her chili was, but her ignorance upon that point did not arise from her pro miscuous intercourse with mcn._ _ The LORD MAYOR asked whether It was meant that on thenigto she left her father's house she met some man to whom she alloweJ the last familiarity, and that she knew nothing about him before % The officer replied, that she had asserted something to that effect Ir.Mobler said that numerous cases had occurred at that Jusike Room, in which mothers swore that they could not point out the father of the children, and he had no doubt of their having swortt the truth. It seemed, however, to be an established maxim with parish officers, :hat the women must know in all cases. The Loan MAYOR could not exactly subscribe to that doctrine; but he believed that they sometimes knew a little more than the man upon the subject. (A laugh.) Mr. Ellis said the young woman most solemnly declared, tl r having despaired of being received by her father, she wanders! about without the means of supporting existence, and at last p, r chased the means by prostitution. She persisted in saying that .he had never since beheld the man who addressed her, and that s never had known any man either before or after that time. lic 1 1 (Mr. Ellis) knew the young woman's father, and said that he 1. t 1 met with many reverses of fortune, but was still very respectable, a '1 held a situation in a public office. The Loan MAYOR said, that under all the circumstances, t 1 parish were bound to protect and support the young woman and h. child. She might oneday meet the father, and would, no dter not easily lose sight of him if it so happened. Mr. Robles said, that mothers under such circumstances gene rally acted their parts with great energy. It was not very to ago, since a girl was accused in the Jastice.room of having fused to give up the father of her child. She swore she did I co: know who he was; but as she was walking up Cheapside one ds} she suddenly seized a gentleman by the collar, and dragged hit. along, saying, " Here he is • here's Bi ll y's father."—(loud ter.) It turned out that the girl was perfect y right, and Billy . . father was now supporting Billy, and very well able he was to d so too. The Loan NAyoa said the cue of the unfortunate applican , for parish relief was a melancholy one ; for she had totally ruined her own prospects in life, as well as aggravated the miseries of he. father, who, although far from being free from blame in the course he had adopted, ought to have met with obedience and affectio.. from his child. The parish then retched directions to support the young won.. The officer said, that the authorities were disposed to ret every assistance in their power. They were only anxious to hav: his Lordship's unction under the peculiar circumstances of t' • Lord Viscount Melbome,at his late audit for the par;si• of Melborne, generously and unsolicited, returned 20 p cent upon all his farms, in consideration of the pre , c • depressed state of the agricultural interests.
