THE BEAUTY OF CLYDE. w the wild flowers of Autumn were drooping and dying, I came m tin beautiful place of my birth; 11 ad I thought it, amidst its vent valley heida lying, ne loveliest spot on the face of the earth. 0! dear 'twas to me, when an infant I gambord Along the bright shores where the pure waters glide; Bet dearer by far, when a youth there I rambled, And met with my Alary....the beauty of Clyde ! 01 sweet were the hopes on my mind that were beaming In the season of childhood-..i0 life's budding spring— When, a stranger on earth, I delighted in dreaming On days of enjoyment the future would bring! Bet sweeter by far was the promise of pleasure Ia the visions of love that arose on each side, When in youth I discovell my heart's dearest treasure, And I met with my Mary...the beauty of Clyde ! 14IURDER AT BRIGHTON/ runtn an PARTICULAR. The woman still remains very ill. When her husband commenced the attack, she besought him not to strike the child, on which he instantly plunged the knife into its body. There was a woman in the house at the time. She says Butt's wife rushed passed her greatly terrified, and ran up stairs; Burt then came to the door, and she tried to keep him out, but he forced the door open,„ seized the woman by the _neck, and almost strangled her. He then ran up stairs, burst the door open, and began the horrible work. Burt appears quite indifferent as to his fate, and there is an air of callousness in his whole appearance; he seems, in snort, devoid of feeling, and talks of the affair with unconcern, and he has ac knowledged more than we feel warranted in stating.— The Inquest was held at the George the Fourth, near' tt,e house where the murder was committed, before a very respectable Jury. The mother of the woman was examined, but she was so agitated that she fainted, and the inquiry was delayed for some time. The handle of the knife was found in the prisoner's pocket A considerable number of persons were assem bled round the door of the inquest room during the examination, who seemed much interested in the pro ceedings. The house in which the woman sought re fuge is situated in William -street, and is milted by a person with whom she was to have drank tea that afternoon. The name of the man who rescued her from she fury of her husband is Itawley, and he is justly entitled to the thanks of the public for the courage he displayed in such an emetgency. Burt remained in the black hole, heavily ironed, on Wednesday night. with a person to watch him, and was perfectly tranquil. He lay on his bed of straw, his legs and feet secured: he, to all appearance, seemed not the least affected. He said he had been to sleep, and appeased drowsy, and in clined to sleep again, and for that purpose he hal drawn the rug over his face. He said he had not informed his friends of what had occurred, but he supposed his mo ther knew it, as she was in B►ighton. Since his con finement he has been supplied with a Bible and Prayer book. He was conveyed to Horsham yesterday morning. THE INQUEST. The following evidence was adduced before the Coroner : Ann Young (Burt's wife's mother) sworn—l live at IS, Woburn-place; on the 17th of July, 1825, my daughter was married to Wm. Burt. They continued to l.ve together till a week before Christmas, when by refusing to show her husband a letter that she had written to some of her relations he was very much offended, and made use of threatening language. One evening, about seven o'clock, the husband went up stairs in the front room, fastined the door inside, and beat his wife most severely with a poker. In consequence of the piercing shrieks of her daughter, witness rushed op stairs, and forced the doot. On entering the room she saw her daughter covered with bkod. Burt was immediately taken into custody. Her daughter had not recovered her eye sight to this day. After this her daughter said, " she forgave her husband, but she would never live with him again." On the Slit of May last she was delivered of a male infant. Witness had sent for her daughter from Ditchling to come to see her at her own house, and on Sunday evening she arrived with her child. The nest day, Monday,witneu saw Burt standing against the wall adjoining witness's house. She asked him if he wanted any one, to which he made no reply, and went away. On Tuesday afternoon she was in formed her daughter was differing with her husband ; she went home, when finding the door fastened, she hastened to Mrs. Elisted's (being informed her d iuAter *as there), and found her covered with blood, and the infant dying in Mrs. Histed's arms. llcitry Hatfield stated, that the prisoner had applied to him several times to reconcile his wife to him (Burt), and for that purpose he had on one occasion offered him 20s. Hatfield said he had frequently conversed ss ith Burt, and he always thought him a rational man. Harriet Burt sworn—l am the wife of Burt. I have been constantly in fear of him. On Tuesday last I ran into a neighbour's house (32, William-street,) for pto tection. 1 went up stairs, and closed the door. He followed close behind, and burst the door open ; he then pulled a knife out of his pocket, and said," I have this for you, you d—nation b—h!" Witness then said, do Du not kill the child, but kill me, on which he gave her and the child several stabs with the knife he had in his hand ; at last he lost his weapon ; he then kicked me in several parts of the body till persons came, who rescued me; I then got away, with the child in my arms, and went into Mrs. Histed's,where medical aid was procured. Henry Bewley sworn—Witness hearing screams immediately tar: across the street from his own house, rushed in the room, and seined Bart by the coat, and threw hint. He then sent fur assist arc,' and took the murderer into custody. Two Medical Gentlemen stated, that the knife was found in the knee of the infant when taken to Mr. Histed's house. The death was occasioned, in their opinion, by two wounds inflicted in the abdomen. _ _ _ The Coroner then summed up the evidence, and the Jury instantly returned a verdict of Iriffsd lifurcier.—Several witnesses were ex.- ired, but we have not space for the evidence. A rnaster•baker brought his man to Guildhall yester day on a charge of peculation. From some inquiries, it appeared that the journeyman was found in bread and beer, besides his wages. " What does he do for meat ?" said the Alderman. "He gets it how he can, and cooks it in the oven," said the master. The Alderman did not push the inquiry further, otherwise it might have appealed that this was the common practice of the trade, in which case it would in some degree account for that extraordinary evaporation or diminution which often times takes place in the good things baked in public ovens. We recollect hearing an honest housewife com plain before a Magistrate that she had sent a piece of beef, consisting of three sibs, to the baker's oven, and it actua lly lost one entire rib in the baking ! r POLICE INTELLIGENCt. The %MMUS Ale en* &tam Boap.—Yesterstat seveial Milian... Ware been& before the DAS Marva, en charges of hats big taken more than by the law they were entitled to do. One named. was hoed SI. for taking 14 'Meltzer; out of the Sir Edward Banks steamboat, when by law be was entitled to rate only eight. The defendant had a boat of three tons' burthen, instead of the common wherry, and therefore no charge was made against him as endangering the lives of the passengers. Th. Balers of the Watermen's Company attended and declared, that ft would be absolutely necessary to base a new Act of Pulla ntent for the regulation of the disorders occasioned by die watermen and the steam-boats. ?Ir. Drinkald, one of the Rulers, stated, that although be had been accustomed to the water all his life, be never went on board without considerable apprehension. It was matter of astonishment to hint that lives had not been lost constantly, as they were endangered. Some of the watermen got large boats, like that used by the defendant, and overpowered the others. It was only on the Sunday before that three wherries were sunk. He advised the Lord Mayor not to mitigate the penalties in any in stance, if be wished to abate the evil. His Loanstur suggested that a police boat should be employed on the spot, manned by two active men, to preserve order amonpr. these men, and bring the offenders to puni s hm ent . The Rulers of the Company then went away, upon the under standing that they would aid in carrying into effect the regulations suggested by the Lord Mayor. R. Phillips, the person who was charged under Sir I'. Plomer's Act, with haring embezzled a quantity of stock, the property of Lieutenant Donnely, a retired officer on half-pay, was brought up again for final ezaminatkn. Mr. Humphries, his solicitor, produced a letter, which had been written by the prosecutor in ingi, to the prisoner, expressing his willingness that the latter should invest the money either in his own name, or the name of the prosecutor. The Learned Solicitor stated, that his client had invested the money in his own name, and he could thereby receive and transmit the dividends to the prosecutor, who bad not given him any power of attorney to receive it otherwise. The selling out the stock would be found a mere matter of debt. The Loan Maros censured the transaction as a nefarious breach of trust • but said, that the discretion given by the prosecutor _ to the pris oner, to invest it in either name, took the cue out of the reach of the Act. GUILDHALL. A poor woman, a widow, with one child, was brought before Mr. Alderman %LITMAN yesterday, charged with obstructing the highway, by placing a stall thereon for the sale of oysters. Canham, the beadle, stated, that he had not proceeded to seize and divide her stock, but bad merely required her to attend before the. Alagistrate, and bear from him that she was acting contrary to law. The stall, it seems, was placed with consent of Mr. Chamberlain, of Milk street, the manager of a Chapel in Little Charter-lane, Doc tore Commons, against the wail of that building, and did not, in fact, incommode the foot passengeri. Mr. Alderman WAITIISIAN asked if any of the inhabitants had complained of the woman ? Canham said two persons had complained, both of them dealers in oysters close by, who said they could not pay their ratei and taxes if they were subject to this competition. One person lived in Ser mon-lane, the other in Carter-lane, opposite the stall. The Alderman inquired if she had stood at the same place for any length of time? Canhant replied she was there last year; but the oyster dealing neighbours objected then as they did now. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said, that where there bad customarily been a stall, or a person had been allowed to stand, be should be sorry to interfere where the public were not really inconvenien ced, and the party had not misconducted themselves; but neverthe less, while Acts of Parliament were in force prohibiting such stalls, when the-Magistrates were pressed, they bad no alternative but to put them in force. Regulations were necessary, or all sorts of goods would be vended along the sides of the footways, all the streets would become common markets, and shop-keepers might as well at once close their shutters. The officer had brought this woman here in the mildest way certainly; but the streets abounded with nui sances, and he was sorry he did not venture upon larger game. As Cattkam's complaint was not supported by any of the inhabitants, he should dismiss it. BOW-STREET. Wednesday evening, great curiosity was excited at this Office. by the cit cumstance of Monsieur Louis, the " French Giant," attending as the prosecutor of a youth named William Even., for picking his pocket. The occurrence, which took place in the Strand, attracted a crowd at the time, and a vast number of persons followed M. Louis to the Office, and he was glad to take refuge in a room until the Magistrate came to the Office. Sir Irscriaao Maids having takes his sea:, and the prisoner being placed at the bar, a bus of anxious curiosity in the Office, which was crowded to excess, announced the entrance of M. Lo uis, and certainly the highest expectation that could have been formed of seeing something wonderful was fully realized. He stood amongst the comparatively diminutive spectators (and there were some good tall men too), like our London Monument, towering above the dwell ings by which it is surrounded. A capital scene took place when be presented himself before the Magistrate. Sir IL Brame, who Jens writing on the bench, was not aware of. his approach, and on perceiving some one standing before him, be raised his eyes, and as soon as he bad time to measure the amazing attitude of M. Louis, he started back, in astonishment, but in a moment recovering him self, be bowed, and said, lam glad, Sir, to see so fine a produc tion of our common mother before me." Al. Louis modestly re plied to the compliment. Ledbitter and Gardner, two very tall officers of this establish ment, placed themselves alongside of M. Louis, but they did not reach to his shoulders : he stood leaning his elbow upon the top of a partition, over which Gardner (who is six feet two inches) could scarcely look. The principal witness was a waterman ' named Richards, whose head reached to M. Louis's trousers' pack et, and it appeared from his statement, that the prosecutor was walking along the Strand, near Exeter 'Change, with Mr. Cross, when the prisoner followed behind him, and standing upon tip-toe, quietly dived his hand into the pro secutor's pocket, and drew out his handkerchief, which he handed to a companion, who made off with it. The witness called out to M. Louis, " 1 say, Sir, that ere chap has picked your pocket of your property." Al. Louis turned about, and seeing the prisoner, said, " ou rascal, what do you mean by robbing me ?" and giving him a tap oil the mouth, he staggered for three or four yards and fell down; he , was then seised by Richards, but he refused to stir, and was carri e d all fours to the office. _ _ _ Ike prisoner had nothing to say, and was fully committed for trial. Sir it. BIINIS ordered An °Meer to procure a coach for M. Louis, and to keep the passage clear, that he might be protected from the aonoyance of the crowd. A Clergyman of great respectability attended yesterday morning before Sir iticualo 13taNtis, to answer a charge of disorderly con duct and abusive language to a watchman, named Sands. The complainant stated, that while going his rounds in the Savoy, on Wednesday night, calling past eleven, he saw the defendant standing at the corner of the street, close to Exeter Change, in con versation with a person dressed very shabbily; and bearing them talking about money, he suspected that the defendant bad been robbed, and therefore went up to him, and inquired whether that was the case, when the Rev. defendant called him an impertinent fellow, and otber opprobrious names ; he therefore conducted him to the watch-house. Sir liscssitain said there was no riot, no disorder, no breach of the peace proved; he, therefore, considered that the watchman bad acted in very improper manner. The Rey. Gentlemen now begged to state, that on his return to his lodginp in Bloomsbury he was accosted by a person wbo said he was in great distress, and had tasted nu food the whole of the day ; he gave the applicant 6d.wbo returned many thanks for the donation, and ran off in the very view of the ddendant into a public-house, which was open, and there probably spent the money in drink.— Scarcely had the defendant passed the house it, question before he was importuned by the same man with the same pitiable story, and being determined to see whether or not the fellow would return to the public house, be gave him some halfpence, and went slowly on for a short distance. On turning round, be saw, u he anticipated, the object of his charity again go into the public house, be, therefore loitered about for the purpose of remonstrating with him when hC should come out, which atter a lapse of a few minutes be did ; and it was at this time, while he was speaking about the abuse of his , charity, that the watchman came up, and placing his staff in his face, inquired what the conversation was about, when be certainly did call him an inipertbsent fellow, for which he was collared and taken to the watcbhouse, where he preferred a charge against the watch- , man for his unjustifiable conduct ; but reflecting that it would be inconvenient to him to attend the next moralog at this ofice,he was induced to withdraw his charge, sod the watchman immediately preferred the present complaint against hhia, but not wishing to trouble any person at that hour of the night to become his bail, nor to be absent from his lodgings during the Aide oldie night, be left his gold watch and appendages with the aoostible of the night as a guarantee for his appearance in the sisornbag, and now attended to' 'redeem his pledge. :air B. &ante remarked severely on thi conduct of the watchman, whom he 118116411 1, .. Masi doss atipliwist sevetab4 defendant left tilt giriox.okkbt*. -- • - Yesterday, AA* *Da, a UtW in7ltio Sot snore s 4ri Oriels 'years old, but who lies • been at hest 20 times in c g, on various charges of robbery, Was once more plated at tke ar of this once, accused by Ms own fathet, a poor industrious nano, residing in Maiden-lane, Settle Bridge. The father, with taus in his eyes, entreated Mt. Serie= Sawn to get the little wretch sent out of the country, of be would most assuredly be Monied. He Mod already been three times privately whipped, and bad spent nearly two tears in confinement, bet with out effect; it setlmed as if a propensity to thieving was.lografted in his very nature, and be was completely tallow. to teeporeal pu nishment. Mr. Serjeant &twit declared that be ba4 never met with such au incorrigible little wretch in all his experience, but unfortunately he bad as yet evaded the grasp of the law. The father said, that on a resent occasion he bad kitked him up 6, a room by bintsFif, to try what effect solitary confinement would have on him; bit he contrived, while there, to force open a desk, where money was sometimes placed; and toeing disappointed In his expectation of finding any, he made a bundle of his &thee/ clothes and threw them into the yard. He then took a silver watt& out of i the desk; and there being no other mode of escape, he resolutely ascended the chimney, and got out on the roof, where he was de tected by one of the lodgers, and secured, with the watch concealed in his bosom. Mr. Serjeant Sat.s.mt regretted that be W 33 net suffered to depart, as the case would then have been complete against him, and there was no doubt but he would have been sent out of the country... I iowever, at present he should be committed to the House of Cor rection for three mouths Vlore; and the conviction should be re corded, and sent to the Sessions. The young villain seemed very glad to go back to his old lodgings, probably in the expectation of meeting some of his companions in crime. It is calculated that this Turpin in miniature has committed nearlyone hundred petty robberies, aims of them of a peculiarly daring character, considering his age. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. lames Hughes, hackney-coachman, was charged with stealing a sovereign from Mr. Daniel Roddrick. Mr. Roddrlck stated, that on Wednesday evening week the pri. sober drove him and a friend front St. Paul's Churchyard to 7, St. James's-street. He had no silver with him at the time, and his friend went to get some change to ply the fare. In the mean time be handed a sovereign to the coachman to pay himself. His friend came up at the instant and told him not to give the coachman any gold, for he might get bad silver in the change, and that he had pro- cured change to pay the fare. Witness asked the coachman to re turn the sovereign, who appeared surprised, and said," What sove reign, Sir ?—you gave :ne no sovereign." Witness insisted that he gave the sovereign, and his friend told him to call the watchman. The prisoner was observed to toss the straw in the coach in great confusion. The watchman and assistant watchhouse-keeper stated that they examined the coach, and found the sovereign under the straw. Mr. lion said, that in his opinion the circumstances of the case would not warrant him to admit the prisoner to bail. Ilall, a tall, thin, middle-aged man, clerk to Messrs. Allen, Gylby, and Allen, Solicitors, iu Carlisle-street, was brought up on Wednesday evening fur robbing his employers of 1701. in notes.— The pri,onet, we bear, formerly kept a shop near Newport Mar ket, and failing in business, was reduced to the necessity of seeking parochial relief from the parish of St. Ann, Soho. Mr. Allen, who is Vestry clerk of the parish, commiserating the distresed condition of the prisoner, took him into his employ, and about a fortnight ago he decamped with the money from the Counting House : it consisted of a note of 100 t. and 701. in small notes. They heard nothing of the prisoner till a clerk in their employ met the prisoner in Peck ham Fair on Wednesday, where he gave him in custody, had him taken in a coach to Mr. Allen's, and,fromihence to this office, where he was remanded for another hearidg.—The prisoner's wife, hearing of the caption of her husband, followed the coach from Mr. Allen's, to learn where her husband was taken. The coachman„-knowing Mr. Allen wanted her also, to hfar of the property, proposed to take her to her husband ; but when she got into the coach he took her to Mr. Allen's. She also was detained. EITZIISIVI Ro or LADY C. Durross.—Mary ASA Poe. 'tints's, late housekeeper to Lady Caroline Hondas, was brought before F. A. line, Esq. the Sitting Magistrate, by Reed, the Oa cer, charged with having committed robberies and frauds to a very extensive amount en her Ladyship. Reed deposed, thatin consequence of information which he had received from her Ladyship, he proceeded to the prisoner's lodg ings, when, on teat chin, the apartments, he discovered in one of the prisoner's bores a small parcel, containing 211 n. of rice, which, being addressed to her ladyship, he took under his charge. He however was not able to find any other property which could be identified. Lady Caroline deposed, that the prisoner lived in her service, at various times, for fourteen years; that having discovered that peculation, to an extensive.ismount bad been carried on, she was induced to have an investigation made, which ended by her dis charging the prisoner. She was very much surprised by having several bills from tradesmen, to a considerable amount, brought in for payment, and which she thought had been discharged —This, at first, she felt inclined to pats over; but a week had not elapsed before she was inundated with bills, osAny of which were of three years standing, which the more surprised her,as she was in the constant habit of settling her accounts weekly—at least she gave the money to the prisoner to do so. On enquiry, she discovered that none of them had been paid, and which she 114t1 again to pay, to the amount of 4200 or £3OO. Mr. Roe here enquired of ber Ladyship it she could state in what monies she gave the prisoner to pay the accounts with ? Her Ladyship replied in the negative, and proceeded to state, that the two pounds of rice she could not swear to, not knowing whether it had ever been sent to her residence or not. A shopman to Messrs. Davidson and Newman, grocers, in Fen church-street, deposed, that the parcel now produced was sent to the house of Lady Dundas three years since; the rice was ordered by the prisoner, in her Ladyship's name. The prisoner, who made no defence, stood crying, and begged of her Ladyship for mercy. The Worthy Magistrate observed. that unfortunately the only offence which was brought home to the ptisooer was that of petty larceny. which being clearly proved, he should feel it his duty to commit her for trial at the Middlesex Sessions. The prisoner was then committed, amid her Ladyship bound to prosecute. MARY-LA-BONNE. A Daserruen Aneuoa—An elderly Gentleman, who gave his name James Ryan, living In Pullen -street, Hanover-square, applied to the Magistrate for advice and assistance. He represented him. self as a literary character, in the greatest distress for want of em ployment. He said, he al one had been engaged by Professor Por son, to revise two editions of Euripides —be revised Hederick's Greek Lexicon, in quarto, Lord Malmsbury's works, and all the works of Cavallo, also Nugent's Port Royale Grammar, Scr.. des. He had been engaged in writing for Periodical Publications, for twenty-six years, and during that period, had entered pupils of the first respectability in the public schools of Eton, Westminster, and Winchester, particularly the former, whose names,. if written, would fill a folio of brie paper, and that Dr. Valpy considered him superior to thousands in correcting typographical errors, but now, iu consequence of others less competent having entered into the same pursuit on reduced terms, be found himself involved in digficulties, and destitute of support. . . . Magistrates regretted ii was not in their power to serve him, and advised him to lay his statement before Sir Benjamin I Hobbouse and other persons of distinction in the literary world, particularly before the Conductors of the Literary Fund, who are ever ready to assist Literary characters who linos fallen Into distressed Mr. Ryan thanked the Magistrates for their attention to his case ' and retired. UNION HALL. 1 Hoes: Stasusa.—Yesterday an elderly man, named Jilts Hunter, was brought to this Ate IA the custody of Popp, charged with stealing a cheanut mare, the property of Ur. Riddle, a Wilms residing in the vicinity of Islington. The complainaat stated, that on the Seth of October last, a ches. nut horse wet stolen out of its Seal at Islington. In the month of December following, be traced the bone into the possession of a man named Barnett, a butc►er, residing in the neighbourhood of Brixton, who restored it to the owner, on being informed that it was a stolen horse. _ Joseph Hancock stated that he the horse in question of the prisoner, on the 29th It ,at Ewen Fair. Soon after wards the witness sold it to a ping man in the fair, by whom the prosecutor's hares was WOW* disposed of to Mr. Barnett, into whose possession the sefilsaleersese traced it, and claimed it as blairoperti. The prisoner, in his defence, COold give no satisfactory account oldie manner in which the horse came into his possession, and be was accordingly committed tar trial. LAMBETH.STRERT. Mr: Charles Mt, a tioreeyor,applied to Mr. Weave, to know ,by what authority he had issued a warrant, giving the St. Kuhr-, tine'. Dock Company peasession of the retakes of one How.ii, before they had come to any pecuniary arrangement with him Some perams, who had attempted to take forcible )aovieeelon. had been carded before Mr. Ballantyne. at the Thames Police °inc.-, who deemed their conduct illegal, but dienaiseed them, on an under_ standing that they u ould not renew the attack. He...wae surprised Mr. Wyatt should have taken so different a view of the Act as to issue a warrant to do what Mr. Ballawtyne pronounced to be illegal. He wanted to know on what clause the Magistrate proceeded, and I to see the written grounds upon which the warrant was granted, that he might acquaint Mr. Ballantyne therewith. Mr. WeArr said he proceeded upon the list section. Mr. Pitt replied, the next section equally provides that no one should be ousted yard he bad been recompensed. Mr. WTATT refused him the view of the depositions, but said he should be happy to affird Mr. Ballantyne himself every explanation. Mr. Pitt was not in a situation to entitle him to the information he re. joked—he was an intermeddler in matters that concerned him nor. Mr. Pitt again asked to see the papers, as a right first, then as a boon, but Mr. Wyatt repeated his grounds of refusal, and the cou ference terminated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The whole distance was thirty-four miles, and it was done at the rate of nine miles an hour. The match was won by three minutes thirty-foe seconds easy. The time allowed was four hours. Yesterday morning a carpenter named Squires, about fifty years of age, undertook for a wager of €5 to run four times round Sc. James's Park without halting. No time was specified ;he per formed the task in 56 minutes. The conditions of the wager were, that if he made a halt or fell, during the race, he lost, and to ascer tain that the distance was adhered to, two persons alternately ac companied him as umpires. He was much distressed in the last mund, and on his arriving at the winning post was completely ex batistes!. We understand that soon after his arrival at home, he was attacked with a severe fit of sickness, and remains in a very precarious state.
