. TO A NIGHTINGALE. . —war. Thou fairy imotist ! in the forest singing. How sweetly wild is thy meledinuS strain I Varied in accents, tremulously flinging Fragment! of wonder on my dissy brain. Spirit of light ! the music of thy song Descends upon me even as a dream :. ' I stop enchanted, and would fain prolong Each magic note of tky impassioned theme. Where art thou sitting 7—in the branches high Of you old oak whose flower.tmbroldered trunk, Rests on a soft mat where the harebells lie, Its spreading roots 'neath mossy herbage sank? Minwrel of Heav'n ! is that thy leafy bower, Where, like the Queen of Beauty, thou dolt shade Thy gentle self in this voluptuous hour As in a veil of innocence array 'd ? The Gathered choir to rest their wings have made Near thee a favourite haunt, and mute, and fetid, They listen, scattered in the boughs beyond. Hush !—'tis the mountain echoes that descend To wander through the trees !—they softly blend With every pause an answer so divine, They emulate, sweet bird! that gentle song of thine. Children of song ! prolong the flowery tale, — Fat every bough, touch every living leaf, Let soft persuasive melody prevail, That every heart, forgetful of its grief, Like mine, exulting fur an hour, may be Uplifted on the wings of wildest extacy ! LISXORE DIVORCE BILL. The following are the letters adduced in the Com mittee oa this Bill now before Parliament : The Hon. C. IL B. .Cfarke examined, and said he received this letter (Lady Lismore's). The letter was delivered in and read, as follows: Ulcombe-place, Thursday, Aug. IS. My neat CNA acao—l do indeed feel most grateful to you (as I ought) for your kind letter and offer. lam as well aware as any one can possibly be of the misery and disgrace that will be entailed, not only on me, but my poor children, by this dreadful separation ; and Goo knows there is nothing I would not dote avoid it. lam sincerely penitent, and conscious of my many faults, and only de- Amin to be given an opportunity to atone for them. Indeed, could you know the misery I endure, and have endured, this last six weeks in particular, and the dreadful state, not of bodily but men tal weakness, I am reduced to. I am sure you would pity me.— There is nothing I would not do to be reconciled to Lord Lis more • and would he but return to me, and restore me to him and my c hil dren , I solemnly promise you hat there Is no mode of life I would net cheerfully had to please bisa, nor that no endeavour should be waiting on my part to atone in his eyes for my pelt errors, and to contribute to his happiness and comfort. Let him forgive me this once, and if I ever again in any respect forfeit the promise I sow make, let him cast me off from him, deprived of all my child es, and leave me to the disgrace and contempt I should deserve. My dear Charles, restore ate to my husband and my children ; we will pray fee you, and bless you the longest day we live. Don't let me- and my children be disgraced for ever; give me but ao opportunity of retrieving myself in the eyes of Lord L. and if I fail in any one respect to keep my engagements, I will sub mit to soy degradation that tan be devised. Could you know the v.airty of misery I undergo—my two children here always asking fur their papa, wondering he don't return, and wishing to see him; and my two eldest boys ill in London. and I not allowed to go to nurse them ; indeed. I suffer more than I have words to express. My two children here will never be happy away froal their papa, particularly my little girl; and should this dreadful huskies' conti nue, she will grow up to hate me for separating her from him. 1 hope you will pardon ate for what I am now going to say, but I entreat you will not mention that I have written this letter to you, eitherto Wet or to mama, or any one who would tell them. 'Yon know hew violent mama is; we alwaya differed in our opinion of Lord L. and not more eleven years ago than we do new. Walt is just gone to London. He balsa very desirous for a recorciliatioo, and says he will do all he can to promote it. I did not tell him I had heard from yoii, because I feared he might be offended at my having recourse to the mediation of any one else but himself. Should you (which Goo In Ms mercy grant I) succeed in your kind and brotherly endeavour, it will be of no consequence whether they know it or not; but should you unfortunately fail, It would be a sad thing for me to have incurred their displeasure. If Lied I. don't consider the disgrace that this will entail ea me, let him think ofkia poor children, and for their sakes give their unfortunate mother an oppOrtanity of retrieving herself, and of making atonement for herlaults. My dear Charles, I pray un twasiogly that this misery may pass away front me. Think what I most suffer, particularly with ray buys, whom I have not seen for five and I not with them. Perhaps yoirmay well laugh at the incoherency of this letter—but do not; for could my greatest enemies know the agony of mind that I endure , they would, I am sure, pity me. I shall mostenaloudy expect the answer to this. I re peat that there is nothing that Lord L. wishes I will not cheerfully ' sobruit to, to be reconciled to him ; and that, should I forfeit my so- halo promise of devoting the remainder of my life to the sole study of pleasing him in every respect, attending to my children, and trying to atone for my past faults—l say. should lin any way forfeit this engagement, I will consent to loss all my children, and become an outcast front every thing I love. Will you my dear Charles, be my security for my performance of all this, and I promise you that I will riot fall la any one respect. My dear Charles, should you succeed in this your hied endeavour, you will have my thanks and prayers the longest day I live. and a blessing will attend you and yours, for restoring an unfortunate wit, to her husbend, and pre serving four children from everlasting disgrace. That you may succeed, will be the unceasing prayer of an unfortunate and affec tionate sister, ELEANOR.

She would have been by this time nearly over the attack, had it not been for a slight cold which she caught. This is a very cold place, open to the sea, without the least shelter, and exposed in particular to the East, from which point, the northeast, the wind has been foe some time blowing, consequently the weather is much against her; she is better to-day, but her Wags are so irritable that the least cold affects her.

This case came on for further directions to-day. The bill, it may be recollected, was filed for the purpose of giving effect to a deed executed in March 1812, by the original proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre, and it prayed the Court to- direct the specific execution of this deed. The VICE-CIIASCRLLOR said, that it appeared to be the sole object of the deed to secure the payment of cer tain debts of the theatre, but it did not Appear upon the' record; whether the debts provided for by the deed had been paid, and he must direct an inquiry to the Master to ascertain that fact. It was possible that the debts might have been discharged from other sources, and it would, of consequence, be necessary to direct an in quiry whether they had been paid, and if so, by whom they had been discharged. There was another inquiry likewise necessary to be made, whether any part of the, funds directed by the deed to the payment of the debts, had or had not been misapplied. Upon the result of l these inquiries the Court would be enabled to meet the , justice of the casts The plaintiff had asked that it might he declared that. he was entitled to a specific execution of the deed of 1812; but the Coon could not make any such direction ; because if the debts had been paid, there would be nothing remaining to be executed. There was also another reason which operated in not making such a direction, and that was this: because, it appeared, both trom . the bill and answer, that, by the consent of all parties. there had been a deviation from the deed of 1812. If the direction thus sought by the plaintiff had teen granted, it lioeld have given him a right to ex amine all the accounts of the theatre. Mr. HART expresnd a doubt respecting the Inquiry now directed by the Court, as to its teaching the object sought. The Vsca•Cstiucatcos was of opinion that it was the best mode of proceeding. His Honour then directed the ease to he referred to the Ilaster, in the manner mentioned, who would be at liberty to state any special circumstances at the retntest of either party. • COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Mar 3. THE KING V. W. H. ELLIS. _ _ The prisoner, in this case, who had been convicted of petit larceny, at the last sessions for the city and county of Exeter, was brought up to this Court, on a writ of error, and the error assigned was, that the Sessions had exceeded their power in passing upon the prisoner a sentence of fourteen years' transportion, on conviction of having stolen 1 s. from his mistress, Mrs. Susan New man, an extensive grocer at Enter. Mr. CHITTY, in support of the error, contended that the Court of Sessions had no power to transport beyond the term of seven years for petit larceny; and, as the sentence could not be amended by the same Court that had tried the prisoner, he ought now to be discharged. Mr. PARK, contra, contended that a sentence might be partly good and partly bad. For this he cited the King v. Collier, Ist Wilson,.S32, where the defendants were convicted at Hicks's Hall of having assaulted a Justice ; and the Court of Quarter Sessions had sen tenced him to be imprisoned one month, to beg pardon of the Justice at his house, and to make an apology in a newspaper. The Court held the two latter parts of the sentence bad, but confirmed the sentence for im prisonment. So here the Court could confirm the sen tence for seven years' transportation, and• aemit it as to ibe other seven. • The Cosa; after hearing Mr. Calm in reply, ordered the pri soner to be committed to Newgats until Friday next, on which day judgment will be.pronounced. COURT. OP COMMON PLEAS, Mar 3. IMPORTANT DECISION ! .--8C A LIP W. JACOB S., This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a carcass butcher in Wbitechapel markat, to recover 161. 2s. 3d. for meat sold to the defendant, a retail butcher, in the .year 1817. The defendant pleaded the statute of limitations. The plaintiff's son was called as a witness, and proved, that three years since he called upon the de fendant for payment of the debt due to his lather, when the latter expressed his regret that the debt had been so long standing, and said he would 66 pay it as soon as he was able." The LORD Cuter Juarws said, that such a promise would not take the case out of the statute, unless the plaintiff could prove the ability of the defendant w dis- charge the debt, it being a conditional promise only. It had been so ruled by Lord Kenyon and Mr. Jus tice Heath. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the plaintiff. admitted that he was not prepared with evidence to Trove that fact. The Loan CIIIIT JUSTICE directed the 'plaintiff to be called, and he was accordingly nonsuited.—Mr. Serjeant VAINIIIAN however, obtained leave to mention the matter again to the C ourt during the Term. ; FIELD SPORTS FOR MAY. First the shooter's, then the courser's,. and the hare bunter's field amusements were for a season stayed, and now the most spirit-stirring of ail sports, must also for a while cease- No fox-hun:er ought to halloo his pack after their prey, when village maidens have asserted the prerogative of Apollo's month, by curtseying at his gate' with their May-day garland. There are, however, sports men to be found, and those who consider themselves right good ones too, who make it a custom to conclude the season by killing, or attempting to do so, a May fox ; they are not aware what mischief may arise from such an injudicious proceeding. A few words, unldis to those who will not understand, must sulficiendy exemplify this. In clayey countries, where foxes are enable to form their subterranean abodes, the tubs must be deposited above ground, (generally at the foot of a tree or at the. bottom of a bush), and consequently when hunting is prolonged to an unseasonable period, must . frequently 1411 victims to the hounds. It is true that in such coun tries, shelter for the young is sometimes found in the crevices of a friendly rock ; not so, however, very fre quently; the places we have already mentioned being generally tier cradle of the cubs, maiy of which are devoured by the hounds *when drawing,:while the huntsman and his assistants remain, perhaps, in com plete ignorance of the sacrifice. Whenever fos-hounds are taken out for the purpose of hunting, they have generally a keen appetite ; for they are fed in the early part of the preceding day, and receive nothing more in the way of food till after they have performed their duty in the field. The temptation, therefore, of a morn 6g's meal, such as the unsheltered and unprotected cribs offer, is not easily resiited, and such constquently fall a prey, when otherwise, and in a brief space of time, they might have afforded that exercise and diver sion which is the fox-bunter's " madness of delight."--. Even in countries abounding with earths, cubs will' frequently be deposited above ground,.and therefore, in all eases, fox-hunting in May should always be avoided. The Oskr will, as soon as the weather becomes sufficiently mild for the dogs taking the water, afford diversion to those sportsmen neighbourhoodwho reside in the of lakes, rivers, Ike. where these animals are to be found. In Devonshire, near Barnstaple, we believe, this amusement is spiritedly followed. Young Rooks, during the present month, will spew themselves 4.1 the onside of their nests, and give employment to the cross-bow and air gun. In many places these birds are kiUed with the fowling. piece, which however, we are old fashioned enough to deem not exactly in character with the diversion. Falconry may be said to have declined ever since the introduction of the fowling piece, yet it Is not utterly extinct; nor is it perhaps likely to become so, since there must always be found admirers of this highly interesting diversion. Of its supporters, Colonel Thorn hill, mentioned in our last, is a peculiarly ardent one. The season as yet is not sufficiently advanced for procuring young hawks, as these birds (whichilt generally, we believe, a month on their eggs) are seldom hatched before June. That fierce, beautiful, and useful hawk, the hobby, breeds in most of the mohntainous intone of the north of England, and also in the Highlands of Scotland. In the latter country the falcon and tiercel are to be found, as well as a variety of the tribe well calculated for the amusement of falconry. On this month, the hopes of the shooter in a great degree may be said to depend, particularly in regard to partridges and pheasants. It is the period when these birds deposit their eggs, and commence the silent work of incubation. The great or general hatch takes place in the early part or the middle of June ; and therefore, if the months of May and June prove dry, plenty of birds may be confi dently anticipated ; but if mock rain fall during the period in lugs due, a great part of the nasceous progeny will perish, either in the shell, or immediately on hatching.—Annals of Sporting for May.

It appeared, that the two Gentlemen quarrelled on 'Change ag Liverpool, and Mr. Richmond applied the epithet scoundrel to Mr. Evers, upon which the latter knocked him dOwn. A challenge en sued, but the meeting was prevented, and they both were held te" bail. It was subsequently agreed to meet at Dieppe to settle the affair, but information being sent to this tact, Mr. Evans wee arrested on his way through London, with kis intended second, Cal. Barton, of Chester. Mr. Evans was held to bail in heavy sureties. A tall young Irishman, named William Liule, was cLarged whir sending threatening letters to Rowland Alston Esq. of Harley street, Cavendish-square, a Magistrate for Middlesex. It appeanri that the defendant had lived for a considerable time in the service of Mr. Alston, as footman, and conducted himself with propriety, but possessing rather a pleasing voice, and having a very good opinion of his own talent as a singer, he 'was continually practising in the house, and boasting, that if he could once be introduced to Messrs. Kemble, Mitten, or any other leading mend the cops drarsalifee, lust to give them a specimen of his powers, they would at once be glad to patronise him, and he should speedily come before a Lowden audience. About' twelve months ago, he left Mr. Alston's service, when Mr. A. gave him 51. over and above his wages, as a reward for his honesty and attention. He obtained another situation ins. mediately after; but firm-thence he retired with disgust, being unable longer to endure the vile drudgery of a footman's life. From that time, he began to apply to Mr. Alston for his assistance he ob taining an engagement at one of the Metropolitan Theatres' and occasionally requesting pecuniary assistance. Mr. Alston was seem tired of these applications; and then the defendant commented writing in a different strain, hinting that, unless llts demands were complied with, he should disturb the peace of Mr. Alston's family most materially. In addition to several letters, containing eves plainer threats than this, he wrote to a Gentleman in Grosvenor square, a particular friend of Mr. Alston's, stating that he should be sorry to create confusion and dismay in the family of the latter Gentleman, but he should feel himself obliged to do so, unless be same forw ard, and lent him his influence and support. He wanted, be said. first of all, to procure a provincial engagement, and asked Mr. Alston to supply him with 101. to support him decently, until be could be ushered on the London boards. At length his threats became of so unequivocal a nature, that Mr. Alston thought it necessary to seek protection from the law, against the meditated violence of the defendant and a warrant was issued from this Office for his apprehension. The defendant, in answer to the charge, repeated all the nonsense before-mentioned, about his great vocal powers, the loss the public would sustain if be were nut brought forward, and the obligation there was upon Mr. Alston, to do all he could to promote his views. It did not appear, however, what obligation of that kind there could be upon Mr. Alston. AU the defendant's answers were evidently evasive, and be evinced from the beginning, an obstinate determination to avoid satisfying inquiry. He went on to say, that Mr. Alston had denied that he possessed any qualifications for the stage, but had pronounced him to be exceedingly well adapted for the prize-ring, and had offered to back him if he should fight. Mr. Alston laughed, and declared that he had never said any such thing. Mr. Mamma. earnestly endeavoured to convince the foolish fellow that be was labouring under a delusion ' but it was in vain, and he was ordered to And bail : mr. Minshull observing, that in consideration atilt defendant's situation in life, he should call era klm fq; only his own recognizance in 401. and two sureties in got. each to keep the peace. The defendant said, the Magistrate bad no business to take his situation in life into consideration at all. If his threats were of such a nature as to be considered dangerous to the public peace, the law ought to have its course. He should not attempt to get bail— ' he should rather choose to endure Imprisonment. He then made his edt, accompanied by an siker who locks& bins up: M A R LBO ROU G H-STREET. Yesterday, leremirth Child, James Price, and Goodwin, pri. vates belonging to the second Regiment of Guards, were charged with a highway robbery. Mr. Thomas Wayne, of Duke street, Bloomsbury, the person whom they had robbed, deposed to his acquaintance with Child, and- witkbeing in company with him and the other prisoners at the Black Lica public house, Bloomsbury, on Tuesday night. When be left the house, preceded by Child, he was instantly laid hold of by the other two, pulled down, and his watch, and some silver taken from him. _ _ A watchman swore to sering*Mr. Wayne on the ground. M'Gregor, a patrole, passing a brothel in George-street, heard parties quarrelling, and a girl exclaiming. " If you don't be quiet, ru tell about the watch." In consequence of hearing this, he entered, and toot the prisoner Price, and he ultimately succeeded in securing the other two. He found the watch in the possession of Goodwin. Goodwin said Wayne was drink, and gave him the watch. Mr. Wayne denied this. Price and Child declared their innocence. Mr. Wayne believed Child completely innocent, and be was in consequence ilicharged. Goodwin and Price were committed.
