A FRAGMENT. M • FAIR POETESS . 0/ THE FOURTEENTH CZEIVEIT. The wise man sees his winter close Like evening on a summer day; Each age, he knows, it's roses bears, It's mournful moments and it's gay! Thus would I dwell with pleasing thought Upon my Spring of youthful pride; Yet, like the festive dancer, glad Te rest in peace at even-tide! The gasieg trowds proclaimed me fair, Ere, Autumn-touched, my green leaves fell: And now they-smile, and call me good Perhaps I like that name as well! On Beauty bliss depends net ; then Why should I quarrel with Old Time; He marches on :—how vain his power With one whose kart is in its prime! Though now, perhaps, a little old, Yet still I love with youth to bide ; Nor grieve I if the gay empettes Seduce the gallants teem my side! I joy, too (thouils the idle crew Mock somewhat at my lengthened tale), To see bow lays of ancient loves The listening circle round regale They fancy Time for ahem stands still. Anti pity me my hairs of grey, And smile to hear how once their sires To me could kneeling homage pay! And I, too, smile, to gaze upon These butterflies, in youth elate. Se heedless, sporting round the lame Where thousands such have met their fate ! THE PREDATORY WAR IN CUTCH. The predatory incursions on the side of Cutch, which we have beforementioned,may' render not unneces- sary the following sketch of our political relations with that country I- Cinch seems to be possessed by a body of powerful and half-independent Nobles, who acknowledge the supre macy of a Rao or Rajah. In 1819, the Rao having become obnoxious to the Bhyaut, or collection of Nobles, was by them, an the Company's force, deposed, his son, an infant, raised to the throne, and the govern ment placed in the hands of a Regency of four Nobles. A treaty was concluded with the Company, and a sub sidiary British force stationed at Bhooj, is the heart of the country. The treaty of 1819 was followed by a suppleme2tary treaty in 1822. Cutck, a country strong in hill fins and jungles, arid, in form not very different from a small segment of a circle, is bounded on the curved frontier by the sea, and on the arc partly by one of the embouchures of the Indus, and partly by a swamp formed from the drain; age ef small rivers, which, during a great part of the year, is impassable. It is thus nearly isolated. The inhabitants of Cutch are Hindoos of a particular sect. so zealous in their creed, that a provision that cows, bullocks, and peacocks, should not be slaughtered in their territory, was inserted in the treaty with the Com pany in 1819. The force which has invaded Cinch is said to be composed partly of discontented inhabitants of Cut‘h itself, and partly of people of Sind, and it is on the question, how far the Sindians are collectively engaged in the hostilities, that the importance of the was f .re depends ? Sind, the country in the valley of the Indus, and bordering on Cutch, is possessed by a number of Ameers, nr independent Mahometan Chiefs, who unite Ur the purposes of foreign wars and alliances. A few days ago, •we believe in 1820, a treaty was concluded between the Company and a deputy appointed by the Anvers, by which the lager were bound to prevent in roads int • the Company's territory. These inroads have been, it now appe rs, not prevented, and as this is a direct violation of the treaty, the Company would be justified in requiring from theM ample securities for the invite performance of their engagements, or (if the in roads have taken place with the cnnnivance of the Ameers) in" commencing hostilities against them. Though a war with such an enemy as the Sindians, at the present moment, would, no doubt. be avoided as long as possible, yet the irruption of bands so for m'dable as these new invaders are represented to be, Will probably leave the Government no altcuutive. Mr. Secretary Pm. has postponed his motion from Tuesday the 7th, till Thursday the 9th of March, for leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate into one Act the statute law of England on the subject of the crime of theft; Mr. MADERLY . 3 motion for the total iepeal of the Assessed Taxes being fixed for the 7th, and having pri ority, occasioned the postponement. In the Sect.ndaries Court, yesterday, a case was tried between t► e.Governors of 8.. Thomas's Hospital and the Rev. William hlarshall. The defendant was receiver t.f the rents of several faints, held by the Hos pital, in the counties of Essex and Cambridge, which situation he held for twerr•y-six year;. The accounts were Fettle.' annually. In January, 1824, the defend ant attended in London, when his account, were cx amineJ, and the,e appeared a balacce due from him to the Hospital art 126b1. 165.7. f. 1!e afterwards sent up an account .of hi, ieceii.t; and disbursements-in the year 1824, and at Ole same time tendered his resignation. In his account, he charges a commission on the sum of 5,2311. for rents which he had not collected, and which item was of course disallowed .by the Governors. The case having been proved, thedefendant consented to a verdict for the plaintiffs of 1,0801. Bs. 61—Agreed to. It is generalpy supposed that thisjs necessarily the last Session of tbis present Patliamen►. This is a mistake, for though this is: the seventh Session, it is yet only the sixth year, and► the legal duration of Parliament is seven .years," not seven Sessions. The seven ran will expire next April twelve months. Two informations under the new Act for the preven tion of smuggling were heard imbue the Magistrates in the Isle of Wight, last week; in one of which the of fender, named Sparrow, was sentenced to serve on hoard a man of war for five years, and the otherZnansed 'Wheeler, to pay a fine ofllool. On the 17th a select company, composed of members of the civil and military authorities, at Minden, cele brated•at .a' grand entertainment the accession of his Majesty the Emperor Nicholas to.the throne of Russia: the alliance which unites that Sovereign to our Royal Family, renders-this event a subject of rejoicing to every loyal Prussian. .

A prints letter from Paris, gives the following description of this fete ; "On entering the lobby, two flies of servants were drawn up on each side, at least five deep, like a regiment of soldiers, all handsomely dressed, though not in livery. In a second anti-room the livery servants were drawn up, similarly, in the livery of the King of England. There were only of these about a dozen, six on each side. One of them, who spoke a little English, announced our names, and ushered us through a room hung with white silk, bordered with gold. Between the folding doors of this and the next large drawing room, stood Lady Granville to receive us. She made a very gracious bow, and we passed on, and seated ourselves on most luxurious fauteuils, where we re mained for some time, observing the company as they entered. This room was hung with geranium-coloured silk and gold fringe, with splendid mirrors all round, and a superb carpet.' ' We went into another apartment equally splendid, hung with buff colour and gold. In this is a large full length picture of our King, like him, but some few years younger than he is at present. We next entered le Bak di Trate, where at one end is a canopy of crimson damask, surmounted with white ostrich feathers, and steps up to the chair of state, which for this night was reversed, as a hint that no one must presume to sit there. The division between this room and the ball room, was this evening removed, and the two appeared very large, and the white and gilded pillars which separated them looked particularly magnificent, especially as the spaces between them were filled with rows of most splendidly dressed Ladies. The dancing was beyond the pillars. There were about three sets of quadrilles standing at once; and between each dance were flocks of waltzers. These were the apartments in the res de Chasm's, and, with the addition of a large room for refresh ments on the ether side of the room from where we entered, made up the whole of that floor t but, besides the rooms, there is a gallery, that runs all round them oo the cutside, which is very large. It was carpeted ;it had on each side four or five rows of the rarest hot-house plants. and was lighted with beautiful lamps bung from the ceiling. Up stairs there was exactly the same number of rooms thrown open. They were equally elsgant. There were between fifteen and sixteen hundred present. There were, of course, a great many English ; but at least one half were French. The profusion of diamonds was amazing—ali the splendour of the French Court, and muck of the English. The gold candelabra, with the large magnificent mirrors, that nearly covered the whole of the walls, altogether looked as if we were in fairy land. The most de- 1 licious refreshments of all kinds—iced fruits, ices, cakes, hen-bons,l punch afe Romaine, lemonade, wine, ice. were served. The sup per was laid in the moth that is used on Sundays as the chapel.— Some of the French Ladies satfeer hours at the supper, eating the' good things!" FRACAS ON 'CHANGE. At about half-past threr r— o clock yesterday, an unplea sant personal fracas, tot k place at the It Iyal Exchange. the history of the 41.4 is as follows s—Mr. Clugston, of the house of Clug -ton and Chapman, extensive brokers, had employed a clerk to call on Mr. S mon Samuel, a merchant, of St. Helen's-place, a few days ago, for the settlement of an account, which was re fused, and the clerk desired to carry back to his em ployers a message reflecting in very strong terms on their characters, and on that of the individuals for whom they had been acting in some late transactions, we believe in speltre. Mr. Clugston, who felt highly indignant at the attack thus made upon him, which he justly conceived to be injurious to hint, both as a Gen tleman and in his particular business, had sought on various occasions to obtain an interview with Mr. Sa muel, and to demand some explanation, but could not .ucceed till yesterday, when, having learnt that that Gentleman had gene on 'Change, he proceeded thither immediately to meet him. Mr. Clugston then accosted' Mr. Samuel, and desired to know whether he had really sent by his clef k the insulting message all.rded to? restating it to him in its ori; in,4l terms, but which it is not n cessary fur us to tepe.it. Mr. Clugston had rreviously desired a friend, whom he met accidentally un 'Change, to attend him as a witness of the whole scene. Mr. Samuel, on being thus pressed, avowed that he had sent the message, and, as well as we could collect, in the confusion which arose from the crowd, which in an instant collected round the parties, repeated his original expressions, as communicated by Mr.Clug ston's clerk, on which the latter Gentleman drew from his coat a whip which he had brought with him, and laid it across the shoulders of Mr. Samuel with some violence, who is in a slight degree lame, and constantly carries a stick: he retorted this attack by a blow on the head of his opponent, who rejoined with another application of his whip, by which it broke, and left him apparently at the mercy of Mr. Samuel. He was quickly, however, supplied with a stick from one of the bystanders, and a regular combat ensued, charac terised by more violence thaq skill, in u !rich from twenty to thirty blows were given on each side. Ti e beadle who attends the Exchange at length forced his way through the crowd, and the combatants were sepa rated, with little detriment, as regarded their persons, beyond the destruction of their hats, to which both owed their pre.ervation from more serious injury, as the blows were given on both sides with great force. Mr. Hultman, sen. the King's Messenger, was sent off a few days age to *sr Ambassador at Paris. Tuesday, the body of a male infant was discovered in the Regent's Canal, under circumstances which gave every reason to apprehend that it had been unfairly dealt with ; an inquiry was in consequence set on foot, to ascertain, if possible, who were its parents; this how ever failed, and on yesterday evening an inquisition %co taken. The Jury returned a verdict of wWilful Mut- I der ageing some person or persous unknown." BRITISH CLAIMS UPON THE SPANISH GOVERN WENT. getresse disgust and indignation have been excited among many of the merchants, claimants• on the Spanish Government, by the receipt of the following extraordinary circular. It comes from, an agent em ployed by the merchants, but acting under the advice vi the Ministers, to give an idea of who e !elation to the affair we tran.cribe tie document entice : 0 rssawor S. " The impossibility of obtaining a settlement of the British claims upon Spain, under the convention of March, 1823, by the means therein prescribed, having become evident; and the Spanish Government I aving renewed the invitations given to me in July last, to return to Madrid, for the purpoe of arranging a mode of payment mote suitable to the state of the Spanish Treasury, at this time, than that which the convention prescribes; and also, if possibly, to agree for a certain tound sum, to be paid by Spain, as in full for the whole of the claims, to be apportioned among the patties according to the merits of the respective cases, I have been strongly urged, either to depute a confiden tial agent, clothed with powers and instructions, for effecting such arrangements, or to go to Madrid myself; and Mr. Canning has assured me that the British Go vernment will not hesitate to instruct his Majesty's Minister to afford the benefit of his fullest support and co-operation. The mode of payment which it is deemed expedient to substitute for inscriptions of rentes on the great book of Spain., is an issue of debentures or bonds of the Spanish Treasury, payable at short dates, and bea►ing interest payable half-yearly in Londoni To enable me to decide upon the expediency of increasing the further expense which the adoption of the proposed , measure would necessat ily occasion, I have to request you will state, by a written answer, on or before Friday next, whether you are content to receive such part of the total amount of bonds or debentures of the descrip tion I have mentioned, (which I, acting for the claimants generally, may, after consulting with his Majesty's Ministers, find it expedient to accept as in full for the whole of the claims mentioned in the list delivered by the mixed commission to the Spanish Government), as the Commissioners shall eventually award to be your fair proportiOn ? . . " Or, what is the lowest sum which you will be willing to receive as in full of your claim by a payment in cash within six months ? " Or, what is the amount which yop are willing to take as in full, if payment be made in such bonds or debentures as herein described? " P. S. Any offer you now make wiU be without prejudice, in the event of an arrangement, as contemplated, not being completed." LAW REPORT. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, FEBRUARY R. OPERA HOUSE.-TAYLOR V. WATERS. This case came on this morning on exceptions to the Master's report, and after considerable discussion at the Bar, His Honour' observed, that it appeared clearly, whatever had been done in the Master's Office, the Court could take no notice of it, because the Master's judgment, as stated in his report, s as a judgment de livered in total ignorance of many aro! t important points. It now appeared, that a deed, executed in the year 1795, embracing the whole concerns of the Opera House from beginning to end, and making important arrange ments respecting them, had been entitely kept out of ti.e Master's sight. Not orgy the Master, but the Coun sel and Solicitors on both sides who attended the Master, all seemed to be alike ignorant of this deed, and of its provisions, when the matter was in the Master's Office. How the Master could make a report on the evidence, and state of facts beore him, the Court could not con- jecture. Mr. T. had now instructed his Counsel to proceed, as if this . circumstance, with respect to the deed of 1795. had n•'t be noticed ; but the Court could not suffer th .t, unless Mr. Waters' Counsel had the same wish. They, however, had no such wish, not would they consent to it ; and therefore, what the Court would do, was to make an order, referring it back to the Master generally to . review his repot r, with liberty to all parties to carry in such evidence and statements before him as they might be advised. In all probability it would be better for the Proprietors of the Opera House to withdraw all statements already laid before the Master, and to take in an entirely new statement of facts; indeed, this would be better, the Court thought, for all parries, as it would save unnecessary expense. COURT Or KING'S BENCH; FisauAar D. RULE; OF THE KING'S BENCH PRISON. The LORD CHINS JUSTICE, at the sitting of the Court, observed, that some Terms ago, a petition had been pre sented from certain prisoners confined in the custody of the Marshal, praying for an extension of the rules.. He had yesterday received a petition, founded on a sup- position that the former request had not been considered by the Coml. This was a mistake ; for, very soon after it was preferred, the Judges took it into their considera tion, and formed an opinion to which they adhered, that there wete no grounds fir acceding to its prayer. THE KIND V. SAUNDERS AND OTHERS. Mr. GURNEY moved for the judgment of the Court olv Sophia Saunders, otherwise Cook, William Godfrey, and Thomas Josiah Parke, convicted before the Lord Chief Justice at Westminster, of conspiring to cheat divers of his Majesty's subjects, and obtain goods from them by falsely representing the d.fendant Sophia Saunders to be possessed of a large fortune in the West Indies. The report of the trial was now read, all the particu lars of which have been already before the public; and voluminous affidavits were produced on the part of the defendants, tending to spew that Mrs. Saunders had a claim to property in the West Indies, and that Mr. Park had made the representations imputed to him bona Ale, and without any corrupt or interested motive. There were also several affidavits to the character of Mr.Paike, who was represented to have been made a bankrupt twice by unavoidable misfortune, and to have failed a third time in consequence of this prosecution. Mr. UNtacicis addressed the Court for Mr. Parke, 1 first urging on the report that there was no evidence to convict him as a ground for a new trial, and nest' ' pressing the topics which the affidavits presented in mitigation of punishment. The defendants. Mrs. Saunders and Godfrey, declined saying anything. Mr. GURNILIN for the prosecution, contended, that the evidence against Mr. Parke was conclusive, and suggested that it was singular affidavits should be pro. duced to the character of a man who, four years ago, received the sentence of that Court for a conspiracy to commit a fraud. The Cam thought the evidence milkiest to sustain the week lion, and sentenced the defendants to be severally imprisoned for Inc year in the HOMO of Correction, Coldbath-fields. TEE ZINO N. CONSTABLE. • . The defendant, a,dfagistrate in the Comity of Kent, acting at Greenwich, appeared on the motion of the ATT..KIttY•GPNIERAL, to receive judgment, having been found guilty of a misdemeanour in committing a per. lON charged with indecently exposing himself, to the House of Correction for three months, without hearing evidence, which the party offered in his defence. The d: fondant had reached the age of eighty, and had been many years in the Commission of the Peace without a complaint of his conduct having been made. The Cense sentenced him to pay a line of 1001. TISK KING V. MICR HAYMAN.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FR3II.IANT 9. LIBEL.-YRISARRI V. CLESIEWT. Mr. Serje.int SPANKIII was heard in support of the rule for a new trial, and contended at great length . that the Courts could not consider tae South American Go vernments as independent Stites. Berme is could be said that the Spanish Ameecan Colonies were free States, it should be determined by the mother mimicry that they were so. The Cates JUSTICE observed, that probably it alight be said, Spain had taught them that they had the power to become free. Mr. Serjeant Sraxata proceeded. The arguments for arrest of judgment were ordered to.be heard on a future day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday, Mr. Charles Abewow Sugg, who stated himself to be an operative chemist, well known in the scientific world, appeared before the Lotto MAYOII, in consequence of having received a sum mons, under the following circumstances :—A Mr. Sewell stated, that some time in November last, being very unwell, and unab:e to ride out, be lent the defendant a mare, on condition that slle should be kept by him until she was required. When, however, he wanted his mare, he neither could get her back nor learn what had become of her, and the defendant positively refused to give any information respecting her. Mr. Sugg said, that in some conversation which they had toge ther, Mr. Sewell said, " I can't eon her for the winter, and yo'n are welcome to have her till the winter months are over." Upon this he (Mr. Sugg) took the mare, whit% was wrung, and in a dreadful condition, and he spent nearly 141. upon her, on the tine derstanding that he was to have her until the winter months were over; and now, because Mr. Sewell was well, be wanted he:. back, and refused to pay the expense of her keep. He (Mr: Sugg) wanted him to pay only U. of the expense. The Loan Mayne said. that Mr. Sugg's explanation did not alter the case, and he again asked where was the mare? Mr. Sugg, after some further hesitation, admitted that the Vine was at the Horse Bazaar, and that a. was due for her keep. Ills Loansnur desired the complainant to apply forthwith for I; i• property, and if he did net succeed, to make another applicati:r at the Mansion-house. GUILDHALL. arneteses Judge, porter to Messrs. Cummins and noughts-, warehousemen, 107, Cheapside, Was charged with robbing his employers.—Remanded. BOW-STREET. . Yesterday, Mr. Williams Fmrl e ,a gainst whom a warrant was issued a week ago, at the suit of a Mr. Chesterton, fur alleged frau.: in obtaining money on a bill, under a representation that be was Solicitor to the Cinque Ports, and that Gilbert, the acceptor of the bill, was Treasurer of the Customs at Ncw Romney. was brought up from the King's lknch Prison, and underwent a long exanstaa doe, the result of which was that Mr. Chesterton con.ented to withdraw proceedings for the present, reserving to himself the right of still going before the Grand Jury at the Sessions. In the course of yesterday morning a coal merchant named Hoppe, complained to the Sitting Magistrate, Sir RICHARD RIRRIE, of his waggon having been on Wednesday detained by the "friends of Cobbett" upwards of three boors, without his permission or knowledge, in Lincoln's Innfsquate, in consequence of which de tention be sustained a loss, besides disappointing many customers. Mr. Hoppe produced a note, which was brought him by his waggoner on his return—" Sir T homas l3eevor informs Mr. Oppy, that his waggon was detained by the crowd." Sir Emnams Banta recommended the complainant strongly to enter an action against Sir Thomas Berton., to recover special damages, which Mr. H. rather hesitated to do, observing, that he could not prove the note to be the hand-writing of Sir Thomas &ever, and regretted that he was unable to take More summary proceedings, and bring the parties who bad taken of the vehicle before the Magistrates. Mr. Hoppe time to the bench, and quitted the office. MAR LBOROU G H-STR BET. James Ikacroft, who. has been some days in custody upon a charge elf burglary at the house of Mr. Palmer, a Gentleman re siding in Berkeley-square, in wbose service he once lived as foot man, was brought up for anal examination. It appeared that Mr. Palmer received at the Bank of England, on the 4th tef April, 1825, a dividend of £320 Bs. 3d. in noses et various amounts, part of which he paid away, and the remainder, amounting to £l3O, he deposited in a tin box, and placed in the drawer of his library table; but on the night f the 17th of May fiallowing, the drawer and the tin box were both broken open, and the whole of the money carried off; and it appeared that whoever committed the robbery must have been concealed in the house, as the burglary in this case was committed, not by breaking into tilt house, but by breaking out. Up to the time of the robbery the pri soner bad been in the frequent habit of visiting the rervants at Mr. Palmer's house since he bad quitted the service, but since the robbery he has never been seen there. A clerk from the Bank of England, produced the numbers of al I the notes received by Mr. Palmer, in payment of his dividend on the 4th of April,lBBs. The cashier at the bank of Messrs. Wright and Co. Bankers, in Henrietta -street, Cevent-garden, stated, that on the 41st of May, 1825, three days after the robbery at Mr. Palmer's, a pent* made a lodgment of Bank notes, See. in Messrs. Wright'S bank, to the amount of £ll2, in the name of James &acre" but he could net say whether the prisoner was the same person. The witness here produced the numbers of the notes paid in this lodgment, aid several of thins corresponded with the notes received by Mr' Palmer at the Bank. The-person who lodged this money dery it out again soon after, and gave a receipt signed " James Sea. croft." A witness proved that this signature, to the best of his belief, was in the band-writing of the prisoner. The prisoner, in his defence, said, that the money be lodged at Wright's Bank belonged to himself, part of it he saved while is service, and the rest he gained by a speculation in eeanges. Mr. Roe, the Magistrate, asked the prisoner if he was willing that this declaration of his should be taken down in writing, and itle would sign it ? He replied that he would sign it. The dirk ac . cordingly took down his statement, and the prisoner put his name to it. He was then fully committed for trial. MAMA—THIS DAY. •aa. sou.
