The leaves are falling from the trees, The flowers are fading all; More chill and boisterous is the breeze, Mere hoarse the waterfall; The sky o'ermantled now with clouds, Looks grey, and waned, and pale ; The mist-fog spreads its hoary shrouds O'er mountain, grove, and vale ! How lapse our years away! how fade The raptarea of the mind ! Onward we pass to storm and shade, • And leave blue skies behind: Like yellow leaves, around us fall The friends best lov'd and known ; And when we most have need of all, . We oft are most alone! Still more alone ! blithe Spring comes round Rich Summer-tide smiles by; And golden Autumn paints the ground, Till Winter's storm-blasts fly. One after one, Friends drop away, As months on months roll on ; And hour by hour, and day by day, The Old are more alone . Still more alone! alas ! 'tis vain New hopes, new beans to find ; What magic can restore again The visions ed Youth's mind? Age walks amid an alter'd world, 'Mid bustling crowds unknown: New scenes bath novelty unfarrd, And left the old alone ! ar Sere leaves that dangle from Llfe's tree,' The old might well have said, s' A relict of the past are we; A remnant of the dead; Like emblems of forlorn decay s We linger till the last; But Death's long night shall turn to day, When Time itself is past!"

The woekmen are still employed, preparing for the erection of a statue to surmount the entablature at the new entrance to Hyde Park; and when that undertaking is accomplished, the work will be one of the most striking marks of the spirit of public Improvement in the reign of thlolllll2 the Fovara. Several colimns to the Grand Arch, opening upon the Palace at Pimlico, are of the Corinthian order with pilasters to correspond. The capitals are on, and nearly finished. Many or the stage-coach travellers coming from the West, and entering the Metropollsby Hyde Park, naturally express their admiration of the taste and novelty, now so conspicuous. The Admiralty, so long obscured by the smoke of the town, presents a new face. Having been cleaned and brushed up by order of his Royal Highness the Loan Mon Aoutaac, it is seen to great advantage. The winged sea horses over the portal attract more than usual notice. The bead Sod stern of a ship upon the walls are now clearly made out, as appropriate ornaments. Sr. JAMEB . I PAsur.—Several hundred wo: kmen are at present employed in effecting the projected improvement, in St. James's Park.—A part of them are cutting out the turf in various places within the inclosure for the putpooe of planting, and others are employed In cutting up mad levelling the walks, which It is intended to convert into one perfect plane. The railing, enclosing the green, has been carried back about six feet, and the hollow in which it stood is filling up, which will form a broad walk instead of the narrow one which formerly existed next the green. The car riage road through the Park has been stopped ; and a notice was issued yesterday requesting the public not to interrupt the workmen, by frequenting the Malls, during the short period the alterations are to progress. INDIAN DEATH.ILAST.—At Bandah, in Bundelcund, one of the northern provinces of Hindostan, there are numerous rocky hills, which during the hot winds become so thoroughly heated as to retain their warmth from sunset to sun-rise. The natives, at that sultry season, invariably wear large folds of cloth around their heads and faces, just leaving themselves sufficiently ex posed to be able to see and breathe. This precaution is taken in consequence of the terrific blasts which oc• casionally rush in narrow streams from between the hills. Persons crassed by these scorching winds drop sud denly to the earth as if shot by a musket ball. When medical assistance, or a supply of cold water is instan taneously procured, a recovery may generally be ex pected, but if no immediate remedy be applied, ran al most cut tales death is the r esult.—London Weekly Review. A most distressing accident occurred this morning, between eight and nine o'clock, in the premises of Mr. Isaac Whatley, tallow melter, Peter-street, Clerkenwell. Two men were occupied melting some of the materials used in the business, and in raising the fire the boiler burst, and its boiling contents flew over the workmen, who in an instant staggered to the door in a dreadful state. The loud noise alarmed Mr. Whatley, who was at breakfast, and he ratoto the melting room to ascer :sin the cause. At the door he found one of the un fortunate men stretched, nerdy dead, and within the roam was the other, the boiling matter rolling off him ; he was insensible. Medical skill wa; procured, but the men are so lamentably scalded, that but taint hopes are entertained of their recovery. One of them, named ' ‘lrCarthy, has recovered his speech, but has, it is feared, lost his sight for ever, the boiling tallow having larted over his bead. The must skilful medical aid has been called in to counteract the effects of the boil , 'mg fluid, at the ezpence of Mr. Whatley. The bursting f the boiler has been attributed to the furnace being overcharged. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ' COURT OF CHANCERY, Amami. • WATKINS AMIE MAUL& The argument in this case was resumed and concldda ed. The subject in dispute arose in consequence of car lain estates and iron works, which had been sold by auction, not answering the description in the particulars of sale ender which the purchaser bid for them. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed a reference to the Master, to ascertain the difference between the actual description of the estate, and that in the particulars, together with the value of the alleged difference, it any should be found, and with liberty to the Master testate special cireumstances.• IN THE MATTER. OF THE REV. WM. HORNE. Mr. PHILLIMORI applied on the part of the son-in law, the husband of the daughter of this Gentleman, for the order of the Court to ground a commission of lunacy. 'ft was made upon the affidavit of Mr. Ste phenson, Who stated several circumstances calculated to induce the belief that the subject of the applica tion was not of sound mind, and that he stood in need of the protection of the Court. He then added, that he had been prevented from ascertaining that fact in a manner Avhich would be satisfactory to the Court by the people who were about Mr. Horne. He had sent two apothecaries to Normantoo, near Loughborough, where Mr. Horne lived, but they had not been permit ted to see him. The LORD CHAIIRELLbR said he must have the opi. nion of a physician before he could grant a commission. THE EAST GREENWICH FREE SCHOOL. ' Mr. Rosa moved in this matter, that the trustees should be restrained from disposing of the funds of this school, and that they should pay them into Court, to wait the decision of an information filed against them by the Attorney General, as the relation of a Mr. Townsend. The affidavits stated, that Mr. Town send, being a candidate to fill the office of master of this school, had been duly elected at a meeting of the trustees, but that an objection being afterwards started, that he was a tax collector, and therefore ine- ligible for the office of a schoolmaster, the trustees proceeded to another vote, and rescinded his appoint. ment, although he offered to give up, and had actually given up, the situation of tax collector. The relator, thinking that this was illegal as well as unfair; took possession of the school•house, from which he was for cibly ejected by order of the trustees. He then filed his infatuation, and the present motion was for the - purpose of obtaining an interlocutory order to prevent the trustees from paying another master, whom they had since appointed, out of the trust funds, Mr. Wusitsit was on the same side. Mr. Hours objected, that the Court could not make such an order on this motion as was sought by the re lator, because it would have the effect of concluding the patties' rights, and either put the relator in that office which they denied he ought to enjoy, or it would dep r ive the public of the benefits of the institution, by leaving it without a master, in consequence of the trustees hav ing no means of paying him. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose before the whole of the Connsef had been heard, to attend an appointment with the Master of the Rolls. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AIIOVIT 1. Mr. Coe having made an application for leave to vary the terms of an order of the Court, The Vica-Csrawcuxon, in granting it. said he would take that opportunity of repeating what he had before said on this subject—viz. that in every case where he found that obstacles had been thrown in the way of the performance of orders of the Court. and that those ob stacles tended to no other purpose than to swell the bills of costs of solicitors, he would take care to throw the casts upon the parties with whom the delay originated. In the present case he should make the party who had rendered this supplementary order necessary, pay all the costs of it. His Honour also intimated, that for the relief of the seitors of tire Court in lessening the enor mous expenses to which they were not unfrequently put, he should state it to the Lord Chancellor as his opinion, that on taxing bills of costs before the Master, all charges for supplementary orders should be struck out. He hoped that he should be able to persuade his Lordship to give the Masters directions to that effect. DI IMAUVOIR AND RHODES. The Couar were occupied for more than four hours in hearing motions in this ♦ery lengthy cause. As soon as they Were concluded, TheVica CRAwcactoa begged that Mr. Heald would move something that might be advantageous to the client. The Court had wasted the whole of the morn ing in hearing motions, which could be of no earthly use to the parties. CONST AND HARRIS. Mr. Twiss moved, in this cause, that an proceedings directed by the late Vice Chancellor should be sus pended until the termination of the suit. The Learned Counsel observed, that if this motion were granted, considerable expense would be saved to his client, with out any injury resulting to the opposite parties. Mr. SLIGIMN opposed the motion. The VICE CHANCELLOR said that be could not grant this motion to suspend all the proceedings generally.— It had not been usual to make such an application to the Court prom which the decree proceeded ; but if such an application were to be made, it had always been the habit to carry it before the superior Judge. As the case now stood. this was unquestionably the same Court that made the decree, and he was obliged to consider that decree right until he had heard, on the merits of the whole case, that it was wrong. He could not be jus tified, on any ground, in presuming that his predecessor had made a wrong order, or in prejudging a case on an interlocutory motion of this nature. He could not, therefore, make any order, except such a one as would not impugn the decree, and would save expense. PREROGATIVE COURT, AUGUST 1. This was the Sift Caveat day after Trinity Terse—. The Court sat by Surrogate. IN THE OSODS OP WILLIAM CAMMILL, ESQ. DICeAIIiD. Dr. HAGGARD moved that the Court do grant joint administration of the personal estate of the late Mr. Campbell, of kussell-square, Chairman of the Board of Stamps in Ireland, to the widow and the Rev. Daniel •Campbell, brother of the deceased. Mr. Campbell died in June last, leaving a widow, a brother, and a sister. The infirm state. of Mrs. Campbell's health made her desirous of joining Mr. Daniel Campbell in the admi. nistration, and a prosy of consent was given on the part of the sister. .
