TO A ROBIN REDBREAST. SY ROHM MULHOUSE. Minstrel! that sings% throughout the taming Tenrr Oh, bow I love thy melancholy song; For there are trills and fall, to thee belong'. With which the bird of night may not compare. Oft when the punt and withering hand of 'Care Has fallen upon me 'mid autumnal shades. Or when harsh winds blew keen through leaden glades, And Hope, too timid, flew from grim Despair; Then bate I twisted, but ab! is might not be— That all thy plaintive sounds belong'd to me. For there's a joy in grief within the breast. When darts a ray of Heaven upon the soul; And when the breaking heart is thus possest. 'Twere bliss to die beneath the soft contrail ! • PORTSMOUTH, Sarramsza 2. PROM THE HAMPSHIRE TELEGRAPH. INFERIOR OF Arnie s.—lt is most satisfactory to learn, though thete are no recent accounts from Captain . CLAPPERTON, R.N. and Mr. DIXON, who are engaged in the ar uous service of tracing' the Niger from the Atlantic shores to Timbucton, that Mr. HOUSTnN, who accompanied Captain C. up the country towards Yourie, and returned to Whydah Roads, after being absent four months, gives the most satisfactory accounts of the progress of the mission up to the arrival at Katunga. He says, " The climate in the interior is so much finer than on the coast, that I was only sick one day. We .were everywhere throughout this long journey received with the greatest kindness and esteem by the Cabouceers, and by the people with acclama tions. Provisions are in the greatest abundance, and carriers for the baggage were furnished at every stage by order of the King ; and from the time we left Bada gry until my return, not even the value of a cowrie was missed, nor did King, • Cabouceers, or a slave even beg so much as one. This is surely unpre cedented in the annals of African discovery. I left Katunga Eyco on the 14th of March, and arrived at Badagry on the 12th of April, haying been absent four months and five days-50 days in Laiung,4, which is a large city, having a wall from twelve to fifteen miles in circumference, part of the ground within being planted . v ith corn, yams, onions, &c. Like Dahomey it is dis tint from the Niger or Quavia River about :30 miles, and about 3&ofrom Badagry, but above 400, taking the v inding course of the road. The country is varied with hill and dale, prospet ous and beautiful, great part like that behind Wyday,clear of wood and well cultivated." Arrived last evening, the Thetis transport, Lieu tenant H. Hopkins, Agent, front Lima and Rio de . Janeiro, whither she took provisions for the squadron. She left C illao on the 2d of March, and Rio the 30th of June. We learn that Lord Ponsonby continued in ne vociation with the Braz i lian Minister, but the Emp er o r .., appears obstinately bent on the continuance of the war against the Buenos Ayreans, though it is generally be lieved that the contest cannot but be detrimental to his interests. The expense, it appears, is principally borne by the province of Rio de Janeiro and its immediate vicinity, for the people of Bahia, and of the Northern Provinces, not only refuse to pay the costs and im posts, but more orenly declare against the tyranny that sends their ftllow subjects and children, as conscripts, to the unprofitable contest in the comparatively cold country of the Banda Oriental. The prosecution of this war will do more to estrange the Northern from the Snu:hern Plainer: of the Brazils, than any other Rica sure that could possibly have been taken. It seems not improbaisle, also, that it might cause a misunderstand ing with the Americans, who are extremely dissatisfied • •• at being excluded from the Rio Plata. Two sloops of war (as the Americans call them), the Cyrene and Bos ton left Rio Janeiro for Monte Video on the 27th cf June; and it was distinctly understood that they would not allow the Brazilian squadron, on any pretence, to interrupt the transit of the American ships to and from Buenos Ayres; in other words, they intended to raise the blockade as far as it respected American vessels., This small squadron was to be immediately reinforced by the Baltimore, a sloop of w r of similar class to the Boston. These two vessels ar of 720 toes burthened, 4 flush decked, and are inter i d to carry twenty-four long 24 pounders, but at pr sent they have only 32 pounder cannonades, and ha e a complement ofll4o men. Tile English squadron a • Janeiro consisted oft? e Wel:eslev, 130, Sir George Eyre. Thetis and Dot is triga•ei. The French squadron was, the Marie Therese, nt 60 guns, Admiral Rosamel ; La Seine,44, (bound on a cruise in the Pacific), and the Provencelle schooner. The French have also in the Rio de la Plata, watching the interests of their flag, the Alacritit and Cygne, of 20 guns each. The Ranger, 28, Captain L-rd Henry tnynne, was the only British ship in the River. It was reported that the Braz lian frigate Netheroy, com manded by Captain 11.4t0n, had been driven on shore in an action with the Buenos Apean squadron, and that two brigs had been captured, one of la hich, the Ca. boelo, was commanded by Captain Grenfell, nephew of Pa co Grenfell, Esq. who was killed in the action. The Brazilian Government had appointed a M. Passanho, to he Consul at Liverpool, who was to come to England in the next packet. The Portuguese, or rather the Brazilians, affect to have great consciousness of maritime rights, and singu lar enough, they have manifested it most in the slave ti ade question, in which infamous traffic they are in reality the greatest traders of any nation. An Imperial vessel, called Emprehendator, has taken into Rio de Janeiro an English and a French vessel for a breach of the slave trade laws. The English vessel is a prize to the Redwing sloop of war, Captain Claverin, which she had captured, with slaves on board, in the river Wyd deli, on the coast of Africa, on board which she put her Second Lieutenant and some men, and, as a matter of course, took her papers on board the Redwing. The Imperial Brazilian vessel falling in with her, made a scorch prize of her, on the plea of the want of papers, and is actually carrying on a prosecution against all on snoard as pir.tes ! The matter has been taken up by Lord Ponsonby. The French vessel is a schooner taken at Porto Cabinja, without papers,: but the Master states he was bound from Nantz to Martinique: he certainly has to account for why be should have been so far out of his road. The Thetis spoke off the Isle of St. Sebastian, the same day she left Rio Janeiro, the Portuguese line-of battle ship Don Juan de Sizto, 74, having on board the Duke dela Fons, charged with a special mission from the Lisbon Regency, that his Imperial Majesty would allow his daughter, to whom he had transferred the Portuguese crown, to be seat to Portugal in that ship, aad it was expected that he would allow this to be done. r CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. —rem— necustaressit. samsevaons.

Dimas= Pamessa.—Saturday a waterman appeared on a summons to answer the following complaint : Mr. J. Gosman stated, that on Wednesday he anal family went on an escuraien to the Note, for the benefit of the distressed Printers. On their return, they eagaged the defendant's boat to convey them ashore, for which he demanded and received 6d. each as his fare. The defendant said, he had taken no more than his legal fare, and that all on board were intoxicated. The Loan Mevos said, that from personal knowledge he knew the latter part of the defendant's statement to be false, fur that be himself was on the river at the time, and went on board the vessel at Blackwell, and accompanied the party to town; and that all on board conducted themselves in the most orderly manner. He then ordered t►e defendant to pay a fine of 151. which not being able to do, he was committed to prison. The Lord Mayor then stated, that he felt great sympathy for the sufferings of the unfortunate journeymen printers, whom be understood were at present in a very distressed state. He had made several enquiries on the subject, and the result was so far satisfactory, and he intended subscribing £lO towards the fund now raising for their relief. Ile had alto the pleasure of stating, that the Sheriffs had notified to him their inten tion of subscribing XS each. GUILDHALL. Saturday, a Mr. Carpenter, a pastry-cook in fleet -street, who was before Alderman 13nows, on Friday, relative to some domestic squabbles, made another application for a warrant against a prison named Pitts, for committing an assault upon his child. The applicant entered into a long recapitulation of the grievance he had previously complained of relative to the misconduct of his wife, but was stopped by Alderman Bitown, who observed that u he had been, by his own admission, living with another woman, both before and after his marriage, he would act wisely by keeping himself's, much as possible from public observation. Mr. Carpenter—Why, God bless you, Sir, I wish it to be in the Newspapers; and if a reporter would come to my house, I would tell him all about it. Mr. Alderman Baown—" Some vuen may, and will, in spite of remonstrance, glory in their shame." . . _ " Shame Sir (said Mr. Carpenter), why I am a worse man by 4001. tban 1 was ten months age. lily wife is a very bad one ; fur although I s kissed het one morning, she soon after spit in my face.' The Alderman said that he could not sit there to hear shout matters of that sort. A summons was applied for, and that he would grant; but it would be as well for husbands who complain of their wives to come clear of immorality themselves. bIARLBOROUGH-S MEET. Saturday, lfichael Sullivan was brought up on the charge of his wife, Mary, for administering sundry pokes to her party-coloured Trish visage. She poured forth a torrent of 'Hibernian eloquence, at the expence of her mild looking protector, an apparently inuffen sive child of Erin, at least six feet high, with " bratvoy shoulders, tour feet square." She convinced all present that— Her tongue was tipped with a bit u ' the brogue, But ilea a bit at ali of the blarney. And poor Pa was almost overcome by the ponderous charge of hav ing pawned abed, bedstead, and other articles a- too numerous to mention." Ile however rallied himself, and In a tone, " Soft as streams of sweet Killarney," assured Mr. Dyer, upon his honour, and several other things, that he was the best husband in Europe at least. That he had consulted his "better half" on the propriety of pawning " the bits o' things," to which she had dutifully consented. He had done so to buy some fruit, which he bad difficulty in pre serving from one of these merciless gold-laced hat Gentlemen," what keeps the streets," and Mr. Drsa—But what did you beat her for? Prisoner—Oeh, the bating---why yer Worship, I didn't bate her to do her any harm. Mrs. Sullivan, however, strongly insisted on the contrary, and being asked if she.wuuld send him to prison or forgive him, replied, that he was a most insittivating impostor, who could make people believe just as he ?lewd, and requested the Magistrate to punish him, and he was accordingly ordered to and bail. Pat, on leaving the edict. did not forget the forte of his countrydien, who, with one of his best smiles, asked his Mary " Would she be giving him a penny to get a little bit of Immo," to which she laconically replied, " 1 shan t." Lieutenant Colonel Richard Archdall was charged with indecent conduct towards his servant, Frederick Withers, while In a warm bath in Harley-street. Several letters, written by the defendant to the prosecutor, were produced, wherein be called the prosecutor his !‘ Dear Frederick," and styled himself" his faithful Master." The prisoner said nothing in hi* defence. The worthy Magistrate, Mr. Draft, required the prisoner to find bail, himself in 10001. and two sureties in 50W. each, or four in SSW. The prisoner was attended by a Solicitor, but neither of them said any thing. II ATTON GARDEN. Mnrr Paostcutinw.—A young woman, with a child in her arms, was placed at the b ir, charged with havirg in her possession a quan tity of counterfeit coin. Lloyd stated;that on the 22t1 ult. after the apprehension of Tay lor and his wife, who were fully committed on the capital charge last Tuesday, be was left in charge of their house, Nu. 8, Pleasant. row, Walworth ; and about ten o'clock the prisoner, who is known to be an utterer, came to the door anihnoeked. Before be could open it, she was told by a person Irons the next house, that Taylor was gone to prison. She then tan away, pursued by witness, who over. tool her at the distanct• o: about one hundred yards, She struggled very much, and threw from h, r riibt hand a small parcel, which was afterwards found and brought to him; it contained five coun terfeit sixpences. These facts being fully proved, Mr. Serjeant Season asked the witnesses distinctly if any indecent behaviour or unnecessary force bad been ustd by the officer in taking the prisoner into custody, and was answered in the negative. He then addressed the prisoner and said, that he was sorry to see a young woman, with a child in her arms, placed at that bar under so serious a charge, aggravated by the defence she bad set up in a letter she had banded ton him, which described the conduct of the officer as moat gross.— This had been disproved by respectable witnesses ; and he considered it a tissue of falsehoods, framed to obtain commiseration. Had such conduct been proved against any officer of their establishment, con dign punishment would have followed. She was fully committed. Saturday a smooth, spruce Irishman, named ninselty &Nissan was brought up under a warrant for assaulting James Oakes, a fur. niture broker. The complainant stated, that about three weeks ago he west into the Rising Sun public-house, Chariten-street, Somers-town, to get some refreshment ; whilst sitting in the parlour, the defendant, who was sitting at an opposite table, very politely tendered him the pot, and asked him to drink. Ile thanked him, and asked leave to propose a toast to the company, upstanding and uncovered, with three times three- 0 Our most gracious Sovereign Lord, Ktng George." Ile had no sower made this announcement than a gene ral buzz of disapprobation arose with the defendant's party, and Mr. Timothy Sullivan in particular refused to drink it, and roared out in a voice of thunder, " By J—, I myself likes the female part better, so I'll give ye Queen Caroline, and long life to her though she's dead, may Goo rest her soul In glory." Mr. Oakes now saw them was a disposition amongst the Irishmen to fall nut upon politics, their national charaisteristic, and feeling that the odds were against him, he thought it quite as prudent to cushion the question, and make his exit in a whole skin. He just remarked in a placid tone, " Any man that keepers the Queen should pay respect to the King in the first place." This logic Mr. Sullivan and his party paid little attention to, and Mr. Oakes, after having drank off his beer, was about to resume his seat, but not perceiving that the chair bad been drawn away, he came to the ground with his heels upwards. This was not to be endured, and be told Sullivan, who appeared to he the promoter et this mis chievous freak, that it was conduct unbecoming either man base. The blood of Sullivan monnted Sigh upon till., and with s 1 black thorn stick he inflicted a blow upon complainant's head that brought him to thrground. The conflict then became so hot, that poor Oakes, his heed streaming with blond, effected his escape. Tim's defence was short and pithy ; he merely said, that he gave thefiesnplainant s' a small tap on the head to teach him better man ners in future." For which kind intention, observed r tldergeant Sakcoar, you must now fi nd bail, and I would mom you to let politics alone henceforward. QUEENT-SQUARE. Saturday, Arschael Collins and Hugh Hastings, drummers in la Majesty's Ist Regiment of Foot Guards, charged with robbing Ed ward Risind of a mvereign and sisrnce, were brot►ght up for final rumination. John Griffiths, a shopman of the prosecutor's, was the only wit ness examined ; but he only proved as to being with the prosecutor on the evening in question, at the Grapes public-house, in St. Martin's Lane, where they had sonything to drink, and that be (witness) paid for it. Both prisoners protested their innocence ; they were committed to Newgate for trial. .Tune Graham, the girl remanded from last Tuesday. charged with obtaining linen from Mr. Ilatchard's, Holywell-street, West minster, under pretence of being sent by the laundress for it to wash, underwent a final examination, and was fuUy committed for trial. MARY-LA-BONNE. Saturday, a decent looking man came before Mr. GRIFFITH for advice. lie stated that ke was married, and had two young chil dren, a son and a daughter; that he and his wife, having been on bad terms for two years back, agreed to separate, but his wife in sisted on getting the daughter, whom be was not willing to give her: he asked the Magistrate if he had a right to keep her? Mr. Gamma informed him he certainly had a right in pre ference to his wife. He then requested Mr. G. to send an officer along with him to state so to his wife. Mr. Gastrin( said that be coull only explain the law, and no more. THt LATE CHAU)! or FOotsennsto.—A friend of Mr. Cox, whose case excited so much interest on Friday, came forward wi th Mr. C. and stated to Mr. Griffith that Mr. Cox was afraid of remaining at home, because he suspected that his wife and her maid were coo triving bodily harm against him. Mr. Cox wished to get his wife removed from his house,and promised to provide for her in another lodging. He stated that he also wished to get the maid out of the house, as Mrs. Cox insisted that she would keep her in spite of him. Mr. Gairmn said, that if the house belonged to Mr. Cox he could certainly turn off the maid ; but added, that be could do nothing in the meantime to Mrs. Cox tin she should do some injury, which would then justify his interference. Thomas Bothans, a more than his fare. warcoovicted for ebarging The 19th July, Miss FAizabeth Colville engaged the chariot, No. 645, to bring her from Vauxhall to Foley-place, for which the coach man demanded 61. and told her, that his good conduct entitled him to another sixpence, She paid the 6s. and finding it an overcharge (the fare being only 31. 61), she took out a summons. When coaches found a summons was out against him, he brought the chariot home iu tire middle of the night, sent his employer ( Mr. Nicholls) one shilling, as the earning of a day, and absconded. After a second summons, and then a warrant hatilbecn issued, he was apprehended, and brought on Saturday before Mr. Griffith. lie admitted that he drove the chariot No. G 45, but said he was not the person who drove the Lady on that day. Mr. Nicholls proved, that he was the person employed by him to drive, but it was a practice with coachmen frequently to employ a cad, while they indulged in a public•house. Mr. Gemini said, the excuse should do him no service; if he employed a cad, he was accountable for his misconduct. He there fore fined bun 20s. and 131. costs. UNION HALL. Satsrday, a ruffianly fellow named Gardner, who.described him self a dog-fancier, was brought up with others on suspicun of having committed a highway robbery; which charge, however, was nor proved against bin) to the satisfaction of the Magistrate, the indi vidual robbed having been unable positively to swear to his person. He was therefore about to be discharged, when Harris, the Officer, said he held a warrant apinst him fur committing a very desperate assault on the person of a Mr. Howard Rice. The complainant in this use having been called, on presenting himself. exhibited one 'side of hi: face to the view of the Magistrate: it was very much mutilated, in consequence of a blow given by the prisoner, with such force as to fracture the cheek-bone in two places. He proceeded to state, that on Tuesday last, as he was sitting in the parlour of his brother's house at Bermondsey, be heard the noise of two dogs fighting in the street. On going out and perceiving that his dog w4s engaged in a contest with that of the defendant's, a large mastiff, he (the witness) proceeded to separate them, and while in the act, the owner of the strange dog tan up, and without saying one word, struck him a blow with such violence under the left eye as to fracture the cheek bone in two places, and render his face deformed for the rest of his days. The force with which the blow *as given completely took his senses away, and his life was considered in a precarious state for some time on account of the hemorrhage from his nose and mouth. The complainant added, that on committing this ferocious assault the prisoner made his escape, and was not heard of again in the neigh bourhood of Bermondsey, until his apprehension on suspicion of highway robbery. The prisoner, who has frequently been brought up to this office on charges of felony, declared that he was struck in the first in stance by the complainant, and that he should bring forward Alder man Wood, who was an eyewitness to the circumstances, to speak to that fact. The Magistrate observed, that he should now hold the prisoner to bail for the assault, and strongly urged the complainant to prose cute hint at the Sessions, where the former might have an oppor tunity of producing the worthy Alderman in his behalf to testify to his declaration of having been assaulted in the hrst instance. LAM BETH-ST R BET. Three incorrigible little thieves, named Wolf, Keefe, and Aloie, the eldest bht 12 years of age, were committed for trial for robbing a till in the shop of Mr. Langley, a tallow-chandkr, at Mile-end. Burro; SEPT. I.—Burton hats been well attended this season; Indeed, considering the prevalent distress in the country, she •isitors have been far more numerous than we had any reason to anticipate. The lodging.bouses are full to overflowing; never. tLekss excellent accommodations base been found for all. The efficacy of the waters becomes more apparent every year, and many persons who visited the springs last season as invalids, have, this year, returned to enjoy the lengthened walk, and inhale the pure air of the Derbyshire Hills. Arrivals:—The Earl and Countess of Liverpool, the Hon. Mr. Abercromby, Sir George Pownal, Col. and Mrs. Gore Langton. A Gentleman named Vaughan died in Salford, last week, in consequence of the bite of an enraged cat. As Mr. George Gell, agent to Messrs. Marsden, of Wakefield, was walking on the Doncaster road, he was struck speechless by lightning, but he is recoming. Within the last few weeks some benevolent individual who loves charity for its own sake, has secretly trans mitted to Messrs.

Her steward, remonstrating that she passed all the bounds of prudence, she mildly an swered, ' Let us give always, and even borrow while ii is necessary, to save the poor from death ; we shall never want, neither I nor my family; in my station there is no great merit in trusting to Pnovinalloit:" SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
