AMERICAN POETRY. Come to the fading wood, Ye youth! of forehead fir and ringlets Im 4 elll ; See how the leaf falls sterling to the round. kill'd by the north-wind rude, That through the boughs prolongs it's melancholy sound ! Conte thoughtful to the wood, Remy ! with downy cheek and sparkling eye ; The bloom that mounts thy lip with this compare Lo. where you arbour stood. It lent a kiss as sweet, a blush almost as fair ! Come to the dripping wood, Love! shield thy quiver 'neath thy golden wing:— Bear rain-drops trickling from me wither'd spray! 'Tie Nature's saddest mood, She weeps that thy dear smile so soon must pass away ! Cease to the pensive wood, Come Pride! and duff thy spangled scarf awhile; 'Twill tell thee there's an Antonin to thy joys, Nor most thou curb the flood, Time's wave oblivious peers to drown thy worthless toys ! Come to the warohtg wood, Pleasure ! oh, hide thy tabor midst it's leaves; Their whispers say, thy summer-song is short As that of feather d brood, Who ►aving chaunted, Sy 'mid milder skies to sport ! Come to the faithless wood, Weahh I I would 'hew thee bow thy pleasures - flee, And lesson teach to tame thy haughty brow ; Oh ! be it undentood— Gold is Potosi 's dust—a gilded shade art thou! Comte to the rifled wood, Pale Poverty ! and breathe thy fruitless plaint, No MOM the gaudy Spring. for others made, Shall on thy griefs intrude : Here thou nmest weep secure, strstch'd in the chill* shade ! Come Sorrow ! to the wood, And with it's joyless boughs congenial sigh—. Ere Spring shall bid them their attire resume, O'er many a wretch shall close the turfy tomb. Life ! thotert a vapour-cloud ! abounding deep in damp autumnal gloom, The swelling heart, that pants tar purer worlds to come ! October 211, WAKD OF FARRINGDON 'WITHOUT. A Meeting of the Aldettnan and Common Council of this Ward took place at theVestry-roona of St. Bride's Church yesterday, for the purpose of investigating the charges contained in a report of some proceedings which took place at the Mansion-house in December last, respecting the present state of Fleet-street. The Ward and City officers were summoned to give evidence, and the liilsabitants of Fleet-street a ere invited to at t std, and furnish every information in their power upon the subject. Very few of the tatter, however, were present. In the Police Report referred to, it was stated, that Fleet-street was the constant resort of thieves and prostitutes, ..nsi the daily scene of hundreds of street-robberies. in conseqoence of die number of public. houses open at all hours of the day and night to harbour the depredators; and it imputed the continuance of this nuisance to the corrupt inflame need by the Cons ume Council of the Ward to prevent the proprietors of these houses from being deprived of their i'nsSS. Wan the essaisatiou of Mr. Biota), the Marshal, and some of the inferior officers, it appeared, that although Fleet-street, from its population, the number 'of manufactories and printing-establishments it con •tained, the workroom of which were kept lip late, its • situation as a great thoroughfare to and from the 'theatres, kc. and its propinquity to Flostiatarket, was of necessity more infested by bad characters, and re linked its public-houses to be kept open to a later hour than other parts of the City not similarly circumstanced; yet, regard bang had to all these peculiarities of situa. Ilan, it was relatively not in a worse state than any ether populous parts of the metropolis. With respect to the charge publ;cly made at the Mansion•house, upon the conduct of the Common Council, as regarded the licenses 4.f disorderly houses, it seemed to be wholly unfounded. After a good deal of investigation and discussion, in the course of which some of the in- 1 habitants stated, that Fleet-street was a very orderly street, whilst others alleged that it was very much the reverse; it was finally resolved, that the statements made at the Mansion-house, and given in the Police Report, were wholly false and groundless. The Supreme Director of Chili has transmitted, through Mr. Nusourr, our Consul-General to that State, a beautiful bone and a mule of a very peculiar descrip tion, as presents to his BRITANNIC MAJISTY. The horse is milk-white, of the most perfect symmetry, and equally remaskaide for strength and activity. The mule is curiosity, being of the much-sought cream colour, and streaked exactly like the zebra, which it resembles in many other respects, particularly in the ferocity of its spirit, which even a long voyage has not entirely sub dued. These rare animals were entrusted by Mr. Nu- GENT to Captain CARTER, of the Ship'er transport, on whose arrival a short time since at Depi . ford, an order was sent down trom the Navy Board directing that the horse and mule be forwarded to the King's Mews. A serious, and it is feared a fatal accident, occurred to Lawn BRANSTONR. Esq. of Hurlepeourt, Bucks, whilst following the Cotteswortb harriers on Monday. While in full chace, his horse stumbled at a fence, and fell upon the rider, who had his thigh broken in a shock ing manner, besides being otherwise samosas hiart, that recovery is very doubtful. The same Gentleman broke his collar-bone in hunting last season. A very valuable seizure was made a few days since off Dover, by the tender belonging to the Lively Re. venue Cruiser, Capt. Ltkauan, of a French lugger, laden with 511 tubs of spirits, which, with the crew, consisting of three English and two Frenchmen, have been taken to the Custom House, Rochester, to be Iwo.' ceeded spins'.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAL 25. Elistgeth Pemberton came before the Court to obtain her discharge. She stated that she was the widow of a Clergyman. and since his death had endeavoured to obtain a livelihood by keeping a boarding and lodging house. One of her lodgers was a conveyancer, and he professed his readiness to assist her by every weans in his power..on account of his being acquaintentrith her late husband and hit family; she placed the utmost confidence in him, lent hint sums of money on different occasions. and in fact she entertained so good an opinion of him, dist, until the amount he owed her exceeded 1421. she did not call upon him for payment. She bad also accepted several bills for his accommodation, as )'e faithfully promised to honour there', but he abruptly left her house without discharging the debt of 1421. and,leavitsg her liable for the bills of exchange. She had not seen him since, but she had reason to believe that he was in L-ndon a few dais ago. It appealed, that since she bad been in %Vhitecross 7 street Prison, she had received 371. from some humane Clergymen. She was desired to account for the money, and insert it in her schedule. When this amendment is made, she will be discharged. In the case of Henry Lynn an application was made to take the proceedings off the files of the Court. The insolvent was upwards of eighty years of age r his friends had settled every demand upon him, and they were desirous that the proceedings should be taken out of C..urt, and that it might nut be said that he had been discharged under the Insolvent Debtors Act.— A rule nisi was granted.

PHCENIX GAS LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY. Yesterday a Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company took plact! at the Three Tugs Tavern, Southwark. The Report stated, that for the half year ending December, 1825, the profits amounted to about 70001. a Furl) which would enable the Directors to pay a dividend of 51. per cent. on each share. It was agreed that this dividend should be paid after 23d February, One of the DIRECTORS said, that they had ex eroded, the Company's Associ .tions as far as Greenwiei. and had vino-Trendy incurred a greater expense, oiler wise the dividend would have been greater. It was now pro posed to lay down more pipes where they had not yet been, and a call must be made of 31. on each Share. Some conversation then followed respecting the ap poinzment of Inspectors, to [nevem the gas being wasted; and the. Directors were also recommended to ake great care that the value of the gas was not left long unpaid, in order that persons so disposed might not have an opportunity of quitting their premises withoit making the payment. —The motion for the call of 31. per Share was then carried. A Prionttnron observed, that the Meeting could not do otherwise than vote a SUM of money to the Directors for their se: vices. lie considered that it would be ad visab'e to make them a regular annual remuneration. A SHAILTROLDIM- The Company cannot afford it. The PROPHIZTOR who suggested this measure said, there were ten Directors under the Act of Parliament, and he thought that 6001. a year was not too mach to give those Gentlemen for their valuable services. It was asked, whether all the Directors were in the habit of irtending? He knew that one of them lived at Cheltenham, and his services could surely be dis pensed with. It was answered, that seven Directors attended the Meeting s,which were held weekly, and the plan adopted to secure their presence was, that those who came after one o'clock should receive nothing for the day's labour. Votes of thanks were given to the Dfrecsoirs and Auditors: Alderman C. Shunt wbo PreAded as Quitman , in returning thanks, said, he had been so long attached to the Company. be considered it his own child. The hisedng adjourned to July nest. • SUFFOLK SESSIONS.

This witness being called, proved that a blow had been struck, but denied that the prosecutor was killed on the spot, as he had himself sworn ! On the part of the defendant, a child nine years of age was called, who was keeping hogs near the fatal spot; he proved that before the defendant had struck the prosecutor, he held up bis whip against him in a threatening attitude; and in this he was somewhat cor. roborated by another boy, and by no means contra dicted by the prosecutor's witness, who admitted it might have been so, and he not have seen it.
