In tile's ruin day, when Hope was green, liow heavenly bright each laity scene, 'low life's gay current deuced along, Midst sportive glee, and mirth, and song! In pride of youth, then buoyant Hope, Thought every bud wkbin her scope Could never fade, but must be blown, And grasp'd the future as bee own! Thought nought could ever access gain, To mar the peace of Pleasure's reign, And stole the tints of Summer's sun, To gild the blooming days to come ! But now, alas! how can I tell, I low troth bath broke the fairy spell And proy'd the once gay sparkling years, A scene of woe, a yak of tears! That Hope which once so radiant seetn'd,: • Whose ray on every pleasure beam'd, Has in wild•mockery left me—where? In ruin, misery, and despair ! ANCIENT NOTICES OF SPOTS INTENDED AS THE SCENES OF MODERN IMPROVEMENTS. CHARING CROSS. This spnt, in the reign of Henry VIII. was a mere country village, dividing the Strand from Westminster, and consisted of a few cottages only, and an inn for the refreshment of traveller., called the Swan ; the site of the preient Pall Mall 'East being then a void space of, ground, denominated Chating Cross field. The ex change between the Abbot of Westminster and that King gives the latter, among other premises in that neighbourhood, 44 two acres of lande in Charinge Crosse felde, now in the tenure of Titomeus Swalowe, two cottages, lyeing at Charyng Crosse, which now one Crystiau,Norres holdeth, lying in the said parysshe of Seynt blarteyn in the Felde; and also one yerely rent of Iv . ). goyng out of a tent (tenement) called the Swanne, in Charyng Crosse, in the same parysshe of Seynt Maityns ; and also one yerely rent of iiijd. goynge oute of the londes belonginge to the Abbot of Abingdon in Charyng CrosseFelde." - The cottages on the north-west side had gardens atintting on the high stone wall, n hich enclosed the site Of the present St. James's Park, and presented, among other rural features, a small chapel of St. Katherine and a H,rinitage ; the latter not a cell or residence for two or three pets ns,sas wets the case with the Hermit• age of St. James in the Wall, Cripplegate ; but (how. ever strange it may seem, compared with the crowd and bustle we now see there), an absolute retirement from the world cf a single solitary recluse. This de vntee appears'tn have Leen generally buried at St.Mar garees, as the parish Church, and to have continued as late as the. Dissolution, being mentioned, together with a female recluse called The Anchoress," (who reided higher up towards Westminster Palace,) in several en tries of the Churchwarden's accounts, from the reign of Edward IV. downwards, viz. " 1466. Item. Ree' on the day of the funeral of the hermit of Ckaryssg, and fur the interment of the same in the Chapel of St. George, within the said Church (St. Margaret.)—viijd." " (Same year.) 114.. e the day of the interment of,SirJeAta Gamow, am/wee Wwstoi." " Item. At the buryinge of Softerh Hero"' Iv. ta• pers—iiijd." 156. Item. of Richard Smith Emit, for his grave--7ja. Wjd." It wquld seem from the last entry, that Richard Smith (nlie is the last of these hermits noticed in the Churchwarden's accounts), secured his final resting place by a payment made in his lifetime. The an churesses are mentiowd as being buried in the same Ct.utch: " 1460. Item. flee' the day of the funeral of the Arsenate for iij. tapers—viijd. " 1489. at the burying of my Lady Amens" for the bell—vjd." The last item that occurs relative to " my Lady An cres,e," s' ews that she occasionally employed part of her time in other exercises besides those of devotion. 16 15311.

Tit's building was the last we.tward from the Strand. sactly faced the Hermitage: being corintcted with Sr. Martin's-lane by a few straggling cottages, similar to those on the opposite side. Du Fresne, in his Glos• sorry, derives the name from the Latin mute, and French la mare, eie disease to which haw ks are subject, of yearly muting •or changing their feathers ; this being the place where the King's hawks were kept before it was converted into stables. Meta, he says, is also the building in which falcons are shut up when they mute or change their feathers. Edward H. in his thirteenth year, granted to John de la Recite the custody of the Kisu's houses de mortis at Cbarrying, near Westminster. Ralph de Manners, the King', falconer, bad in the like •pi.taner granted to hint the custody 4:f the King's 'Mews at Charinge,23d Edward 111. As also Sir Sim , n de B a rley, 1 Richard 11. Henry VIII. is .:aid to have first kept his horses there; for which purpose he partly reboil► the old structure; and the same was, iss Ed ward VI. and Mary, afterwards enlarged and cone. nee! into stabling. From this place, its first use and whs. : . quent application, it has of late years bten customary to give to any range of buildings erected f r stabling, the appellation of a Mews. The little of the original Mews which remained, which was erectei as above, was that lately occupied as barracks, and wl►ich is now about to give way for the fine new opening to St. Ajar tin's Church. It was composed of red tt Tudor brick," with, stope windows and dressings, supported by but tresses, and crenellated at top. WHITEHALL By Act of Pediment 28 Henry VIII. cap. 12, it was enacted. that Whitehall, and the site of the ancient pa lace. should thenceforth be called the King's Pslace at Westminster for ever. It belonged to Ilubert de Ilcurg, Chief Justice of England in the reign of Henry HI. to whom sr eeral grants were made. still remaining in the Tower, of " houses, a court, chapel, 4cc. in the town of Westminster, and of land called More," which it is erein said to lay, " between the hospital of Sr. James and the moor or marsh of John Chine( llor." Dugdale says in his Bar:,nage, among other particular!, that in atico of 140 marks of slyer, Hubert de Bour purchased from the monks of Weuminster the inheut ance of certain houses, with a court and It c chapel, wherein to celebrate divine service for hitns:ll and fa• snily,.within the liberties of NVestminstcy, paying yelriy. to them, and their successors, a was taper of three pounds weight, upon the feast day of St. Edward. Hubert, at his death, gave the palace to the Black• Friars, who afterwards sold it as an archiepiscopal ps. , lace, to Walter Grey, Archbishop of York, I 25... i, vkic:i it del ivssi the ts..r.se of YOI k-Oact." Ile and his sa, ' ?cessors in that see so enjoyed it till the time of Cardi• nal Wolsey, from whom• Henry VAL obtained it in 1529, and converted it into a tegai place, fixing here his residence ; because, is the Att of Parlianient for that puipose states, «the old Palace of Westminster (mean ing that in Palace-yard) was then, and had been long time before, in otter ruin and decay." ST. JAMES'S. In 1531 2, Roger Lu_pign, Provost of the College of Lad' If Eton, rid the • College en- our Blessed _ yor and the same .seEt feoffed King Henry VIII. of the ' wht'ile site of the present palace and park, by the description of " MI that hospital of St. James next Westminster, London, dio cese, together with all its rights and appurtenances, and all and singular houses, edifices, messuages, lands, tenements, fields, parks, pastures, and other hered.ta meots whatsoever,to the said ► ospital,or to them the said Provost and College in right of the same hospital, then appertadning or belonging, and which they held of the gift and grant of the most excellent and illustrious Pane', of noble memory, the Lord Henry the Sixth, late King of England." And it is subsequently de scribed in the letters patent of the same Henry VIII. as— _ _ _ " All that site, precinct, and circuit or their house or holoital, Sze Jacobi in Catopis, vulgarly called St. James in the Fe:de, and other houses, edifices, lands, tenements, rents, services, fields, parks, and pastures, within the same site ; also all other lands, fields, parks, and pastures belonging to the same house or hospital of St. James, containing by estimation 185 acres and a I half ; of which there lies between the cross, vu'garly called Charyng Crosse, and Hay Hill, on the south rari of the kings highway, leding from tht..said cross called Charyng Crosse to,the said Hay-hill, 64, acres of ara ble, meadow, and pasture; and in a certain field called the North Felde, on the north part of the said kings highway leading, &c. (as aforesaid) ninety-six acres of arable, meadow, and pasture land ; also at a certain gate called Knights bridge* two closes of the same containing eighteen acres; and in a certain meadow called Fernmys Mede five acres; and also in a certain i meadow called Chelsey Mede,half an acre; and also in a certain meadow at Fulham two acres." The Abbot reserved in this exchange, to the use of the convent, 44 as well the aqueducts as curse of the Aqueducts leading to • the abbey of Westminster, through the .lands and under the lands of the said messuages, gardens, and wastes, being, and being in the east part of the street called King-street ; and all other lands and wastes on the south part of the said kings highway to The cross called Charynge Crosse." • Now " AERIAL MACHINE. --. ow-- Mr. Schoenherr has addressed to us a later on an aerial machine he has invented, and whiih he says, his present Majesty honoured him with noticing it in 1795, at which period he exhibited a drawing of it at the Royal Exchange. The projector states " this machine is far superior to the balloon, and is on a grand scale ; 1 the whole, when finished, will appearlike a ship in full sail. Its length is thirty-six feet, breadth twenty-four feet, height in proportion. In its centre is a room,where all the necessary operations can be carried on, twelve feet square. The whole is sufficiently commodious to carry twelve persons, conveniently, with ease and safety. The operators are neither exposed to the cold nor damp ness of the atmosphere, nor liable to giddiness,—heing stationed in the centre); yet they can, when they please, see above and below, before and behind, and on both sidis ; and they can direct this aerial machine to tra vel either in citeles,"ohliquely, sideways, or in zig-zag. The course, with the wird, may be very rapid : but to go against a strong wind is not promised, though it may be possible. The aeronauts may remain days or weeks in the air, according to their provisions; and should they perceive a deniable spot, they may descend to it gradually at pleasure. They may go from city to city, or from country to country, or go on to another !semi sphere, either in the day-time or at night, being of course provided with sea.compasses, telescopes, bsrosneters, speaking-trumpets, and other necessary articles. The provisions should consist of light food, such as biscuits, wine, tobacco, ace. " The voyagers may pass alike over land or ocean— the water having no power to attract or draw the machine. Each man would have his respective place and work assigned : one would sit at the helm to steer and give directions; four would row or move their wings; four would have other work of great power and utility; one would manage the front—another the rear; and one would write down every occurrence." slr. Schoenherr concludes with expressing his entire confidence in the practicability of his scheme, and be lieves many excellent discoveries and much national benefit may be obtained through its means, and hopes for the general patronage of the Nobility and Gentry. Mr. Schoenherr, like many clever men, appears to us somewhat of a visionary; we do not, however, on that ocei on!, deny that he is a man if talent. The dreams of alchemy led to many discoverie, in chemistry ; the attempt to discover the longitude has improved the sciences of astronomy and navigation ; and to the lab.). rious industry of the ingenious to create a perpetual motion we owe many ins aluable discoverie, in mecha- Ives; who,then,shall say, that although Nit. Sehoenheri's inve. Lion may not justify his expectations, it can Inv duce no go d? In fact, without vouching for or kno A'. ing an, thing of his proposed machine, we fearlessly sty there is no science which has advanced less, or here there is mote room for improvement, than ael Oi• tation.—Literary The Kings of BAVARIA and Wuaramtuao, have granted to the lamily of the late celebratedUian PAUL Fatanantat lticirrea, the same privilege tor the lID. pression ok the complete colection cif his works, as all the Powers oipeimany have lately given to the great Poet GOETHE. Saturday night, the Union Coach, on its way to Lan• don, at New-hill, between Stokenchurch aid West Wycombe, being overloaded, and going down a &scent without the wheel being clogged, vas overset. The coachman's leg was broken, and the guard much b: uised. The coach vas shattered to pieces. The toad it was carry ing is stated to have exceeded four tons. On the same road, another melancholy accisient happened on Thu. sday. Toe Sur, Oxtoru coach,. in passing oser heap of rubbish, was overset on the other side oh Wycombe, by which the driver, an old' coachman, nameJ was thrown off his b .1, ,srid had his back broken.

John Gaudion t lenis PrOctireur at Alderney. was pre sent atrourt, and sitisfaitritity exculpated himself and his ftrelnis feom the charges brought against him. His defence was made in open Court; but as the examina tion. of all the witnesses, and the Court's, deltberations previous to their pronouncing judgment, passed in pri vate, it is impossible for us to enter into details. It will, however, suffice to say, that the Court gave it as their unarnmous opinion, that there was no foutidation whatever for any accusation against the authorities 01 Alderney. We feel highly gratified in being able to record this decision of the Court, on their terminating an inquest which has occupied a considerable portion of their valuable time, during the list four or five weeks—an inquest too, which, from the indignation excited in the public mind by the malicious stories of plunder and robbery said to have been committed on the prof erty of the Greeks, must have been undertaken under the influence of feelings not very favourable to the character of the inhabitants of Alderney; for we must suppose our Magistrates to be more than men, before we can suppose that, previous to their examining witnesses, they felt nothing of a sensation which in other respt.crs was very generally, if not universally, experienced here. Upon the %% hole, we think that the Greeks have no cause to complain of the treatment they have met• with in these islands. Previous to the peri:id when the re- Iports, prejudicial to the inhabitants of Alderney, began to assume some degree of importance, the Captain and Lieutenants repeatedly expressed themselves as per fectly satisfied with their conduct ; in this island they received every possible mark of friendship and hospi tality from pis Excellency Sir John Co borne, who kindly allowed rations to the crew, and gave them quarters at Castle Cornet; and previous to their depar ture from this island, a sum, amounting to nearly 3001. raised by private subscription, was distributed among the mew-Guernsey Paper. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. , 3 GUILDHALL. Dien was again brought up on several charges of stealing type. Mr. Taylor, of the firm of Taylor and Co. printers, Old Bailey, stated, that a porter came to them, and offered a considerable quantity of type for sale ; part of it was in pie (loose), and part was set in pages and tied up, ready to be taken to the form for printing. Witness questioned the porter respecting it, and he said it had been given to him by the printer, whom be would bring to the place, for which purpose be went away. Before he returned, witness had the type examined by some of his compositors, who were of opinion it belonged to Mr. Dove, of St. John's square, printer. Witness in consequence sent for Mr. Dove ; soon after wi)ich the porter who bad *feted the type for sale, returned with the prisoner, who said it was his property, and that be bad given it to the porter to brin g g for tale. Mr. Dove came iu imme diately after, and claimed the type as his property, and sent for an officer, to whom he gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Dove deposed, that two pages of the type produced were certainly his property. One was a page of Gibbon s Decline and Fail of the Ream Empire, and the other of Misuse's History o f Essiand, both of which works be printed last year. lie produced a corresponding page from each work, to prove that they were printed front the type offered for sale by the prisoner. Mr. Jeffry, printer, in Hackney-road, produced a quantity of type, that he had purchased from the prisoner on Christmas Eve. Mr. BP Dowell, a printer, in Pemberton-row, proved that the type produced by Jeffry bad been stolen from him, and that the prisoner had worked for him about 5 months before Christmas last, The Alderman said, the evidence was fully sufficient to commit the prisoner for trial. He, however, begged to be remanded for a day, and, with the consent of the prosecutors, the Alderman re manded him. BOW-STREET. A lad of sixteen was yesterday charged at this Once, by a Gen tleman of great respectability, who is connected with the Gas Light and Coke Company, with endeavouring to extort money from him on Saturday night, in the Strand, by threatening to charge hint with an indecent assault ; he,however, possessed nerve enough to give him at once into custody. The boy made a counter charge of the nature alluded to • but Sir Beeman Blame, a ft er a severe and acute cross-examhultion, found such inconsistencies and im possibilities in his story, that he committed the boy at once for trial. A book of an improper description Wag found in the boy's hat. which he said be had picked up the previous night in the watch house. As the Session is now sitting, he will be put upon his defence immediately. This once exhibited on Saturday the rather singular anomaly of a drunken Scotchman within its precincts ; a sight (to the honour of the Land o' Cakes be it said) so rare, that " our young remem brance" scarcely furnishes us with another instance of a similar situation. This photnix, who gave his name Jahn Taylor. was very respectably dressed, and said he had been only eight days "free the North." Much, however may be done in eight days ; and Mr. Taylor, who it seems, par takes as little of the proverbial prudence of his countrymen in pecuniary matters as he dues of their sobriety, after treating himself to as many sights about town as he could well crowd into the period specified, on Friday night incurred the further expense of a visit to Duey-lane Theatre. One piece of ex travagance follows another, as naturally as ale follows cheese ; and for thepurpose ofprocuring a seasonable supply of the very luxurkswhich have served to illustrate our remark, a friend and clansman, of habits apparently as little penurious as his own, induced bim, at the close of the performance, to adjourn to a tavern " where Burton," if it cannot, like its namesake, analyse melancholy, is doubly potent in driving it away. It is not to be wondered at, if the influence of realms so mirth- Inspiring and antibilious, produced its due effect on the sanguine temperament of the bonnie Scot; in fact, he became quite up roarious, and having concluded the night with his friend in peram bulating the streets, fell in, at seven o'clock in the rocrning, at the corner of Covent-garden, with a brace of black-eyed wenches, who contribute to the supplying that market with " creases from the spring." Sine Baccho frizet Verret, we know particubrly at Christmas, but here the stimulus was • not wanting. and Mr. Taylor began at 00Ct to make love with all the vigour malt could in spire ; 30 vigorously, indeed, that the roughness of his addresses startled the fair nymphs' resistance ; more thin feminine coyness usually deems necessary in these CM'S ensued. The " laddie's" love thus baffled, turned to anger, and as be could not gain their love, he, tore their bonnets. lie relics of these protectors of the complexion were now eshibitid in a most dilapidated state cer tainly ; " the poor remains of beauty once adtnited," as Mr. Taylor's countryman elegantly styles a fine ruin of a different deno mination. The sight of these tattered victims to the undistin guishing fury of the blind god, bore unequivocal testimony to the truth of the allegations of their owners; and Mr. Taylor, who, though yet evidently under the influence of his potations, was very reluctant to admit be had been tipsy, received directions to make an adequate compensation for the damage done. Ilere, however, the prudence which seemed to have deserted him, returned at once; he obstinately refused to disburse a single bewbee, and was, in consequence, ordered to find bail, in order that the matter might be settled befOre another tribunal, and, in default of it, was con signed, pro tem. to the care of the gaoler. HATTON-ARDEN. Essemve Reasear.—Jolt di g. a well-dressed young man, was bronght up in custody of Lloyd, oue of the 'Akers of this establish ment, ch:aged with robbing his employer, Mr. E.

A Gentleman who resides in Tauntonplace, Mary.la.boone i came before the Magistrate, and complained of the esnine.krepire, the parish, and also of several firemen and watchmen. Ik that on Sunday night, an alarm of fire having been raised in street, the watchmen knocked at the doors of several of the home., and having been informed that the Ire was not in either of them,/ they at length knocked at the door of the complainant's house, r - although they were assured that no part of the house was on they insisted upon entering, and searchid the place, to the snit annoyance of the family.

The llaaistrate said it was most shameful conduct for firemen to enter person: honors, and insist upon making a search, when they w. re informed that no part of the premises was on fire. He reconimended the Gentleman to apply to the Vestry upon the subject, unless an ample ap. was made. UNION-HALL.

When the case was called, AI,- Roach, a well looking young wormtn, stepped torwatd, bearing , infant in her arms; she distinctly swore th.tt Sidi Ornbark. Beta was the father of-her child. The defendant strongly denied the charge, and declared that did not know the woman, other than from having taken htr his service for a short time out of pure amity. The young worn however, told a very straightforward tale of her having been custed in February last by the defendant, on -Westminster hrif and his premising to procure her a situation abroad ; in cuoseque:, of which, she agreed to meet him at a house in a court in Strand, which proved to be a brothel; he afterwards tunk her his service, and the catastrophe was a little Sadi ()nibs' k Lien! The Magistrate ordered the defendant to pay Ss. a week tow. the support of the child, who was produced by the mother, living proof, in feature and complexion, of his high descent.
