She, too, is gone, Whose cherub features yet the scene endear; She, whom a brother's love with pride shall own, As long as love shall !wive the sigh sincere! Thy lively voice still vibrates in my ear, While on thy favorite crocus' golden hue, Thy lily's tender tint, I drop a tar; While I again elute, as life were new, Thy garden's southern hedge, where peeped the harebell blue ! Yes! where those lilacs flaunt their fragrant shade, With thee I seem to ba+te, is once we hied, To the trial spot, and wield my careless spade, And plant thy roots, the sunny fel:ce beside, And prop thy hyacinths, thy tulips pride; Or listen to thy wood-notes clear and sweet ; And bid thy gentle red-breast there abide— Peer cheerless bird!—methinks thy form to meet, Still hopping o'er each print thlt marks thy little feet ! Versa there the blackbird built his early nest, Neat artist ! plastering its pale moss with clay, And 'mid the unblossoned hawthorn blest • Swell'd to the morning light his sprightly lay : And there, while fleecy cloud. sank west away, Tby own melodious robin pour'd bis throat, Nor ceas'd, tho' all ground were dusky grey.

With reference to this part of your lettsr, you will have the goodness to inform the Attorney General, that I am apprehensive it will not he practicable to appropriate another room for the use of tire Geinkmen of the Bar, as required. The room suggested as eligible for a conswitation room, has already been appropriated by the land Chit f Justice.

Unfortunately the taste for mitevaiiest which demolished as un necessary the accommodations now found to be so essentially re quisite (auto* of which were noticed in my letter of the 26th ult.) calked the great lantern light over the centre of the Court to be coneiderably lowered, it being apprehended chat it would be seen Westotntster Bridge, and the Court was thereby deprived of a large portion of its light. l'he saw spirit directed that no light should be admitted into•the Court from New Palace-yard. I am fearful that the remedies suggested in your letter will not produce the desired effect.

'GUMS, AWL 117. To George Swinton, Esq. Secretary to -Government, Secret and Political IXpartment,&e.. Port William. Sits —My last letters would apprise theft ght Hon. the Governor General in Council. that i he main Burmese army, amounting to between 50,000 and 60,000 m.n. had taken post in the immediate vicinity of Rome, an I have been for the last ten days anxiously awaiting an attack upon the strong position we had with much labour cleared and prepared for giving full effect to the movements and operations of our columns, and every possible encouragement has been held nut to iriduce the, enemy to meet us once on open ground. Finding him, however, much ton wary to be drawn from his strong holds in the jungle, and suffering much aisnoyance and, inconvenie,nce from his marau iing parties, and want of forage, I, on the 30th ult. took measures for making e general attack upon every accessible part of his line, extending on the east bz - ik of the Irrawaddy, from a Commanding ridge of hills upon the river. to the vil lage of Simbike and Sembeth upon the left distai.s from Prome 11 miles, in a north-east direction. The enemy's army was divided into throe corps. The left corps, commanded by Maha Nemiow, an of aid ex perienced General, who Ii id been :ent down from Asa to introduce a new system of vind , icting the war, %lb stockaded in the jungles at Simbike and II yalay, upon the Nawine river ; and this corps arnountei us 15,000 men, Burmese, Shans, and Csssayers, of which 700 wete cavalry. The centre, under the immediate order of the Kee-Woonghee, was strongly intrenched upon the hills of Napadee, inaccessible, except on one side by a narrow pathway, commanded by seven pieces .of ar tillery, and on the river side the navigation was com manded by several batteries of heavy ordnance. The corps consisted of thirty thousand men, and the space between the left and centre corps, a thick and extensive forest, was merely occupied by a line of posts. The enemy's right, under the orders of Suddoowcrin, oc cupied the west bank of the Irrawaddy, strongly stocks aded and defended by artillery. Leaving four Regiments of Native Infantry in the works at Prome, on the morning of the Ist instant, I marched upon the Simbike, with the rest of the force,. to dislodge the corps of Mafia Nerniow, from its posi. tion on the Nawine river; and, as previously concerted, his. Excellency Commodore Sir Jams Brisbane, with the flotilla, and the 26th Madras Native Infantry, acting in co-operation on the bank of the river, shortly after daylight commenced a heavy cannonade on the enemy's' centre, and continued nearly two hours to attract his chid attention to that point. On reaching the N twine river, at the village of Zeouke, the force wa; divided into two columns, the right column, under the command of Brigadier-Gene ral Cotton, continuing to advance along the left bank of the river, while with the other column I crossed at the ford of Zootike, and advanced upon Simhike and Lombok, in a direction nearly parallel with the 11.iga dier-General's divi.ion. We had to contend with every disadvantage of a dif ficult and enclosed c.uotry. nor did our information upon the position occupied by the enemy enable me to make any previ Jus fixed arrangement for intercep•inb the ietreat of an enemy to whom every foot path in the jungle was familiar, and chose irregular flight would, I was aware, be made by every p.ttli that prunii-ed safety at the moment. My object, however, ws-, that whichever column should have die go d fortune to (all in .with the enemy first, should attack him vigorou.ly in front, while the other should endeavour to occupy such positions as would enable it to cut in Litton him, when driven from his defences. The route followed by Bri gadier General Cotton brrught him in kont of the stockaded position at Sisnlaike, s hico he at o ice. Rs.. ; arid when hit fire fiat opened, the column under my own directi vt wat snout a mile and a halt distant to his left and rear. 1, in consequence, detached Brigadier Elringt , n to -guard the fort at Z!ouke, and the main road leading to Neoun-benzick, and the po.i tion +•f the K.'e•Woonghee, while with the rest of the column I pushed on towards Sagee, in the hope of fall ing in with the enemy retiring upon Watty-goon. Bri gadier General Cotton and his gallant divi,ioa did not allow me time for completing this movement. In less than ten min.►tes every stockade was Cal vied, the enemy completely routed, and 1 had only an opportunity of cannonading his panic-struck masses as they rushed fast . . through the openings of the jungle in my i'ront. The attack upon Sinibike was most handsomely led by Lieu:enant Colonel Godwin, of His Majesty's 41 A Regiment, with the advanced guard in the right column, consisting of the 4ht companies of His Majesty's royal 41st and 89th Regiments, ani the light companies of the 18th -n 1 28th It giments of Madras Native Infan try, mitt His Majesty's 41st Regiment under Major Chambers, stormed at another point, with the usual in trepidity of that gallant corps. The enemy left 300 dead upon the ground, with the wh. le of his corrimis satiat and other stores, guns, from 450 to 5 -0 muskets, and upwards of 100 Cassay horses. The body of the old Commander M did Meiniow, 85 years of age, was also found among the dead. Th.! enemy's left corps thus disposed of, and finding, from the testimony of all the prisoners, that Mecaday had been fixed upon as the point upon which to re-unite in the event of any disaster, 1 at once determined upon marching back to Zeouke, for the purpose of attacking the centre, under the Kee-Woonghee, on the following Imorning. At six in the evening the whole force was again assembled at Zeouke, where it bivouacked for the night, after a harassing march of about 29 miles, which the troops underwent with the greatest cheerfulness trod spirit. • At day-light in the morning of the 2d we were again in motion. It was my intention to bare cut in upon the river, so as to divide the Kee-Wonngbee's force; but the impassable nature of - the intervening country prevented my reaching Pagaun, the point I bad selected for breaking through his line, and the only road that could be discovered led to the front of the fortified ridge of Nap .dee, already alluded to, which, from its inaccessibility on three sides, could only be attacked by a limited number of men in front. EA? 1y in tl e morning I detached Brigadier-General Cotton's division, with orders to endeavour to push round to the iigt.t, and gain the enemy's flank by every path that could be discovered; but alter great exertion, this, effort was abandoned as wholly impracticable. Our artillery being placed in position, opened with great effect, while his Excellency Commodore Sir James Brisbane mend forward, and cannonaded the heights from the river.., at the same time, directed Brigadier Elrington to fall in through the jungle to the sight, where the Brigadier informs me the enemy opposed him with great gallantry and resolution, defending every tree and breast-work with determined obstinacy. To the Brigad er's left I , diret ted six contpanies of Ili: Majesty's 87 b' gegiment undar Major-Gully, to advance and drive in the enemy's post to the bottom of the ridge. This service was per. formed with much spirit, and the enemy was driven troth all his defences in the valley, retreating to his principal works on the hills. The appearance of those works was sufficiently formidable, and the hills, I have already memione..l, could only be ascended by a narrow road, commanded by artiltery and numerous stockades, and brea s t-a mks filled with men, appa rently a.I aimed with muskets. As soon as the artillery and rockets, under Captains Lumsdaine an,l Gra!ram, directed by Lieutenant-Cr lonel Hopkinson, had • made an• impression upon t . e enemy's works, and silenced several of his pun, I orch red the troops to advance to the assault. The Ist 13engy1 Brigs cominand.rd by Lieutenant-Colonel Sale, and consisting of Iris Majesty's 13th and 38:11 regiments under Mikjirs l'h•irnhill and Frith, was directed to advance to the breach, and 'storm the heights in fr.ut, and the six com!iames of It's. Majesty's 87th regiment, a.ivenced through the jungle to the right, and drove every thing . b_ , re them on that side ; nothing could surpass the steadireiS and resolute courage displayed in this attack. Scaiceiy a shot was fired in return to the enemy's continued vollies. His Majesty's 38th regiment, which lei, first entered the enemy's e itienchments on the heights, di lying him from lila to hill, over pi eci i.ic .s which could only be a cended by a narrow sta.r, until tie whole of t re formidable posi. tiou, nearly three miles in extent, was in our possess'on. During the attack his Excellency Commodore Sir James Btisbane afforded me the most able co operation, and I do myself the honour to incloie his Excellency's report of the good conduct of the officers and men of the Honourable Company's service s serving on board the flotilla, and I much regret to observe the name of CaptaimiDawson, of his Majesty's ship Arachne, who was conspicuously forward in zhe attack, amongst the list of killed. Lieutenants Underwood, commanding engineer, and Abbott, of the Bengal engineers, who had closely recon noitred the enemy's position, both •olunteered to 'ea.! the columns, and were, lam sorry to say, bulb wounded on that service. I have also to regret the loss of many pi omising young Officers and brave soldiers ; but I am happy to obset ve that our loss, considering the eateht and strength of the enemy's positions, and great numerical superiority, has not been great; and I owe it to the troops to say, that the impression of their own steadiness and intrepidity upon the minds of the enemy, could alone have secured to them the brilliant successes of the I t and 2J, with so kw casualties as will b.: found in the returns 1 have the honour herewith to transmit. The defeat of the enemy's army on the east bank of the Irrawaddy ha, been most complete. He has been driven from all his strong positions in this neighbour hood, with the loss of all his artillery, great qui it ties of ammunition and warlike stores ; And Although L. is impossible, from the nature of the grou,sl; to calculate the extent 01 his loss in killed and wounded, I am satisfied he has suffered most seveleiy, and I am much mistaken if the Ilartnese commander again assembles a force within many thous suds of the waller lately in our front. The right corps of the enemy's army, under SudJa Woon, Appears still to occupy sonselo k ;11 ground on the west bank of the Irrawaddy. Xleasuies are now in progress for attacking t iat divi:son, and I have s.o doubt it will be dislodged from its detente to-tuoriow morning. - On the 6:h 1 purpose m aching upon Meeady by the Neounbenzick road, with the first division of the army. Brigadier General Cotton with the second division will remain a few days longer to act in co-operation with the flotilla, in the event of the enemy having rallied in his defences •on the river between Proaie and Neonn benzick. I have no certain inform..tion upon his nest rallying point. Meeady on the east, aod Maloune on the west bank of the river, are both fortified, and are furnished with sutihery. They are both named as the probable points of reunion, and I shall lose no time in appeAring before whichever they have chosen for that purpose; but I think it important that one division should continue to act in co-operation with the flotilla, until it is cleat ly ascertained that the navigation of the river is open between this and Meeady. .1 have to sulicit the attention of the Right Hon. the Governor General in Council, to the judicious and cordial cooperation afforded me by his Excellency Commodore Sir James Brisbane, and the boats of His Majesty's squadron employed on this service. My best thanks art due to Brigadier General Cotton , for the able manner in which he le: his column, and his judieous and decisive att.ick upon the enemy's left at Simbike. The sea vices of Brigadier Elrington, Lieut.- Cols, Gods in and Sale, Majors Frith, Chambers, Thorn hill, and Gully, who led columns, also claim my notice. Lieut. Colonel Hopkinson, commanding artillei y, Lieut. 'Colonel Pollock and Captain Graham, of the Bengal artillery, merit my fullest approbation for their exer tions ; and Captain Lumsdaine, of the Bengal Horse Artillery, although badly wounded, refused to quit the battery, and continued fruni his chair to direct tint fire of his guns. Br igadier-General Cotton Informs me that he received every aid from the experience of Brigadiers Armstrong and Brodie serving under his command. From my Deputies Adjutant and Qua' termaster Ge neral, Lieutenant Colonel Tidy, and Major Jackson. and from my Military Secretary, Captain.- Si.odgras, I received every aid and assistance during these opera tions; and Captain Smith, of the Bengal army, volun teered his seryioes, and accompanied me as Aide.de- Camp on the occasion.-1 haTe the honour to br, &c.

GUILIMALL - - - - CALL AGAIX TO-7401110M--.CAN'T Yon'—One Mr. inifeetlfre:• red upon sunimoes before Mr. Alderman Cox, yesterday, to answer the complaint of Mr. Gardner, parish clerk to one of the churches in the City. According to Mr. Gallabier's account, the affair between Ahem was Gardner is indebted to Mr. White hi the sum of two pounds odd—the balance of an account for goods sold and delliered; and Mr. White is so ravenous after this balance, that he never suffers a day to pass without calling at Mr. Gardner's himse and kicking up a row about it. One day he raised such a nisib ah,em the house, that Mr. Gardner was constrained to send for a constable to remove him; and the constable did what he could, but be never would have been got out had it not been for the assimanae -4 a friend. On the following day he did not call himself, but be scot very impudent young fellow—a sort of deputy dun, who said " I am sent here by Mr. White for that balance of account, and he hid specially instructed me, either to knock the meaty hut. to . ray. 01 knock the devil in!" This was a nyitem of anituyai.ac wicela Gardner could nut hear, and therefore he earnestly im e loreal Alderman to put a stop to it: Whilst Mr. Gardner was telling his tale, Mr. White mitt. a dead sal at him, and es soon as Mr. Gardner had made au. end speaking, Mr. Whitt said to him " Now you have done?" " I have. .• replied Mr. Gardoer. " Very weil, ' rejoined Mt. White; "your fiery is told, then—and now I jll tell mine;" ;11441 therrlyoll he opened a very voluble defence, by which it appeared. firstly—thai te is a broker, in Sun -street, iliishopsgate. in a small way, with large family ; secondly—that Mr. Gardner had looked out certain articles to household stuff at his shop, representing himself to he al independent gentleman with a fixed iacome an Std..' year ! thirdly; that when the said household stuff was delivered, instead of payiug ready money. Mr. Gardner required credit; fourthly—wires the credit was expired, the money was not forthcoming, but in lies thereof, he was "foliii'd of,' with a "call again to morrow, can't you?" Fifthly, and lastly, said Mr. White, I saw there was as end to it. Month after month, week after week, day atter day, it was " call again to-morrow—can't you ?" and very often the doer was smack'd in my face--sometimas by Mr. Gardner, and some times by his Good Part. . • " What do you wean by his Good Part ?" inquired the Alderman. "His st.ife, your.. Worship," replied Mr. White; and then he proceeded to state, that finding there was no hope of getting his money by fair means, he went to the house, and having obtained admission, he "hung up his hat," vowing he wwuld not quit until be was paid. Whereupon," continued he, " Mr. Gardner sent for the cohstable ; but the constable knew hi!. ton well to lay violent hands upon ns. ; and While we were .quabnling abiut it, a large friend of Mr. Gardner's somehow or other pinioned my arms, and in that form he pushed me before hint out of the house, up Noble-street, down Staining-lane, to and again, and at every tithes step, bumping me behind with his knee ! If this was proper treat ment for an honest tradesman seeking for his just rights--why have done." Here the !urge friend alluded to, stepped into the witness box, and declared that be should not have interfered, had not the con stable charged him to aid and assist in the King's name ; and that Mr. White resisted the operation so furiously that he (the large friend) was eventually thrown down and got his thumb sprained shamefully. Mr. Alderman Cox decided that both parties were to bbine, Mr. Gardner ought to have got rid of the annoyance by paying the debt; and Mr. White ought to have recovered the debt by due course of law, instead of personally annoying Mr. Gardner. He therefore dismissed the case, by admonishing Mr. White nut to ro. peat the annoyance; and recommending Mr. Gardner to avoid a 1 repetition ul it by discharging the debt forthwith. BOW-STU/Er. A man of very respectable appearance, named Owen, who twee was in a very large way of trade, and who has since been a coal merchant, a timber mere!) int, and In various other ways of business pro tens. was brought before Mr. Hafts, charged by the officers of the parish of St. Martin, with deserting his wife, and keying. her chargeable to the parochial funds. Mr. Rix, one of the overseers, Mr. Rawlins, the desk of the workhouse, and the prisoner's wife, proved that between three and four months ago be suddenly left his home, and his wife (seemingly a well-bred woman) being destitute, was compelled to seek relief from the parish, which was readily granted, and a warrant, as a matter of course, was issued to apprehend the husband. A short time ago he returned to London, and as so jn as the parish officers learned that fact, they caused him to be taken into costody....- When taken he was in a respectable situation, which he had lust recently procured. In answer to the charge, the prisoner stated that he bad no wish to desert his wife, but that circumstances which he could not con trol, obliged him to go into the country for a time. He was nevi willing to take his wife to a boons, and to pay all the expenses which the parish might have incurred; "and that of course." added the defendant, " will be satislictory ; 'lathing further can be required." Mr. Vette said, he begged to set the defendant, and others in a similar situation, right upon that head. The desertion of a family by the husband was an offence punishable by law, and was no morn to be passed over than any other crime, except under partictibe circumstances. He had no desire to press hard upon the defendant in the present Instance, but it was fit he should knows that as the matter at present stood, he had the power to send him for three months to the House of Correction, to be kept at the tread mill, anti certainly, if a recurrence a the offence took place, he should exer cise that power in its fullest extent. Mr. liewuns said, there would be no objection, on the part of the parish, for this once, to abandon the charge, on the evinces being paid. The prisoner expressed his willingness to pay, bat on being fat. n Jailed with an account, said he had only a sovereign, which, be tendered in part payment ; but it was refused by Mr. Itaiwrlnat, who said that be was sufficiently acquainted with Mr. Owe* to knew, that if he once truNted him out of sight. without full add*. tion of the demand, he should in all probability never see him again. Mr. Harts.—lt is trifling with the parish, and I will not allow it. The prisoner must be committed. The prisoner said he was now prepared to settle with the pariah; a friend in the Office having advanced him the money k ". Mr. Hatt.' said it was too late. He would not stiffer such tri fling. An offence had been clearly proved against the prisoner, and be must stand committed to the House of Correction for one month," there to be kept to hard labour at the tread-mill.—The prisoner was committed accordingly. P LAMBETH STREET. Yesterday. a young man named Felix was brought up on a war rant, to answer the complaint of an aged Egyptian hlahometan, named Hassan, who charged him with t►e commission of an out rageous assault, the effects of which were very v Able, his face and mustachios being clotted with blood, ana his turban also having its proportion of gore. The co'uplainant, who it appears served under the command of Sir Sydney Smith, at the siege of " St. Join d'Acre," and from the testimonials be produced, and the wounds he had received, appears to have distinguished himself, being first sworn on the Koran, stated, through a female who wet:impaled him as an interpretess, that he residedtio the same holes with the defendant, who, on Tuesday morning, without any previous pro vocation on his part, struck him several times with a stick, and in ' dieted the injuries he then bore the marks of. The defendant attempted to palliate his conduct, by amercing that Hassan first ',tuck him, and also his father, aid that it was fir self-preservation altogether he acted as he did. Of this, ►ow ever, he produced no evidence, and was in consequence 'ordered to find bail. BIRTH. _ Sunday se'unight, st Dover, the Lady of Geo. Win. Ledger, Bag. of a daughter. DIED.
