111 AV. We are irresistibly tempted, by as bright a sky and as balmy an air as ever inspired the votaries of Spring in this variable climate, to give ourselves up to the fascinations of this beauteous budding time and its old recollections. Weather such as this which now , inspires us, has taught us the meaning of our ances tors raptures about May-day ; and convinced us that it was with no effort against blights and chills that they went out, as old Stow tells us, on that memora ble morning, , g into the sweet meadows and green woods, there to rejoice their spirits with the beauty and savour of sweet flowers, and with the harmony of birds praising GOD in their kind." We can now understand, while the blue vault is scarcely speckled with a cloud, and the foliage of the trees has put forth its freshest green, and the hawthorn is budding, to prove that the old seasons have not forsaken us, a.id clic thrush is singing over its sitting mate—we can now understand the enthusiasm of one of oar bld rural Poets: • " Get up; get op, for shame ! the blooming Morn Upon her wings presents the god unshorn See how Aurora throws her fair Fresh-quilted colours through the air. • Get up, sweet slug-a-bed ! and see The dewbespangling herb and tree: Each flower has wept, and bo w ' d towards the East Above 'an hour since, yet yo u not - drest ; Nay, not so much as out of bed, When all the birds have matins said, And sung their thankful hymns ;--'ris sin, When as a thousand virgins on this day Spring sooner than the lark, to fetch In May !" —Alas! the virgins in the towns and cities rise when the sun is hastening to his meridian; and even the lasses of the village are too politely precise to wet their feet in the dewy hedges, or to risk their mus lins in the hawthorn bush. If there be any of the fairer sex who think that May-day should not quite be forgotten, they cultivate the feeling with no poeti csl rapture, but with the singleness of " pecuniary views." They are of the same species as the let.rglr:isd seller, who sung her solitary song for an e y nary penny: " Rise up, Maidens ! fie, for shame ! I've been four long miles from ham; I've been gath'ring my garlands gay ; Rise up, fair Maids, and take in your May!" Even this relic of the " olden times" is worn out, and May-day is left in mockery to the chimney sweepers. Without rubbing up much of the pedantry of antiquarianism, it may be amusing jusr to look back upon the gladsome intoxication of happy spirits to which our ancestors surrendered themselves at this genial season. Wherever we can we will let the old writers tell this story in their own terms. The for mal Mr. Bourne, who coquetted with old customs by diligently recording them with a pious abuse cf their Heathenish vanities, says—" On the calends, or the first day of May, commonly called May-day, the j ivenile part of both sexes were wont to rise a little after midnight, and walk to some neighbouring wood, accompanied with music and the blowing of horns ; where they break down branches from the trees, and adorn them with nosegays and crowns of flowers.' When this is done, they return with their booty home wards, about the rising of the sun, and make their doors and windows to triumph in the flowery spoil.' The afterpart of the day is chiefly spent in dancing round a tall pole, which is called a May-pole; which, being placed in a convenient part of the village, stands there, as it were, consecrates to the goddess of flowers, without the least violation offered it in the whole circle of the year. And this is not the custom of the British common people only, but it is the custom of the generality of other nations; parti cularly of the Italians, where Polydore Virgil tells to the youth of both sexes were accustomed to go into the fields on the calends of May, and bring thence the branches of trees, singing all the way as they came, and so place them on the doors of their houses. This is the relic of an ancient custom among' the Heathens, who observed the four List days of April, and the first of May, in honour of the goddess Flora, who was imagined the deity presiding over fruit and flowers." . The l'uritans waged war with the May-poles, and indeed with all those indications of a full-hearted sim plicity which were the echo of the universal harmony of Nature. The May-poles never held up their heads atter the civil wars. The 44 strait-laced" exulted in their fall, but we believe the people were neither wiser nor happier for their removal: " Happy the age, and harmless were the days, For then true love and amity were found, When every village did a May-pole raise, And Whitsun ales and May-games did abound ; And all the lusty youkers in a rout, With merry lasses rimed the rod about ; Then Friendship to the banquet bid the guests, And poor men fared the better for their feasts. Alas, poor May-poles ! what should be the cause • That you were almost banisht from the earth, Who never were rebellious to the laws— Your greatest crime was honest, harmless mirth I" But the sports of May were not confined to the villages. Even the gorgeous pomp of the old Courts did not disdain to borrow a fragrance and freshness from the joys of the people. HALL, the historian, gives us an account of " Henry the Eighth's riding a flaying from Greenwich to the high ground of Shooter's-hill, with Queen Katharine his wile, accom panied with many Lords and Ladies." The good people of London, in those days, were not ashamed to let in a little of the light of creation upon their met cantile pursuits. Stow tells us, " In the month ( i May, the citizens of London (of all estates), lightly in every parili, or sometimes two or three parishes joining together, had their severld Mayings, and did fetch in May-poles with divers warlike spews, with good inches, , morrice-dancers, and other devices for pastime all the day long.; and towards the evening they had stage-plaies and bone-fires in the streets.' The gratulation of the Spring-season" has no more a place aniongst us; the leaves and the flowers come without a "Hail" from the court, thr city, or the village. We are not romantic enough to expect that the.present age will revive any of the simple amuse menu of its predecessors; that the " wassail bowl" of Christmas, or the garland of May, should come amongst us with their hearty and inspiring recollee. bong, Those who now love Nat= and cheerfulness must confine their raptures to their own families—to, their fire-sides in winter, an4.4iteir gardens in the sunny seasons. We would only hint that our ances tors, in proclaiming their jothusiasm for the fresh ness of a beautiful world; were paying a true and affecting homage to its CaisAvoa ; and, though their cheerfulness might be boisterous, and its origin Heathenish, it was far better than that apathy which passes by the wonders and beauties of the earth with indifference; or that precision which, in deprecating the exercise of pure and simple enjoyments, shuts up the heart against the best feelings of kindness to man, or devotion to GOD.

The Report of the Lords' Committee, appointed to inquire into the means of extending and securing the foreign trade of the country, presented to the House on the 11th ult. is just printed. It is a document of considerable interest, and contains the evidence of 27 witnesses, which occupies upwards of 300 folio pages. The inquiry pursued in this Report is "into the State of British Commerce with Asia, including as well that which is can ied on with the territorial posses sions of the Honourable East India Company, as that with the Independent States in the same part of the globe."—The Report states, that " the Committee have not thought it necessary to direct their attention to the commercial concerns of the East Indio Com pany, as administered by the Court of Directors, with a ♦iew to the interests both political and financial of ,that corporate body, further than was necessary to elucidate the present state and future prospects of free trade, as affected by existing regulations." It adds, that " this subject, therefore, naturally divides itself according to the various restrictions to which different descriptions of commerce in these regions are now subjected by law; that to the territorial pos sessions of the Company being carried on by license only from the Company ; that to the other parts of Southern Asia (China excepted), and to the Wands of the Indian Ocean, by license of the Board of Con troul ; that to China being entirely prohibited to all British vessels but those in the actual employment of the East India Company, and the whole trade con fined to ships of a ceitain fixed amount of tonnage." The Report then mole particularly describes each of those points. The Committee state, that " the sys tem of requiring licenses does not appear to be at tended with any public benefit ; and a fee is charged for each license." But, they continue, " a more ma• aerial advantage might probably accrue to the free trader from being per mined to trade wiei the smaller ports on the coasts of Coromandel and Malabar, where the Company have already Collectors of the Customs established, who might effectually counter act an illicit trade; whereby a wider field may be opened, and an additional stimulus to commercial intercourse afforded to the native inhabitants." The Committee say, " they cannot dismiss this branch of the, subject without observing, that al:hough it is difficult, from the great fluctuation which the free trade to the peninsula of India hai experienced since it has been admitted upon the terms of the renewed charter granted to the Company in 1813, to estimate, fail ly the precise amount of its increase, it must he admitted that its progress has been such as to indi cate that neither a power to purchase, nor a disposi tion to use, commodities of 'European manufacture are wanting in the natives of British India, whilst the, minute knowledge of the wants and wishes of the in habitants, acquired by a direct intercourse with this country, would naturally lead to a still further aug mentation cf our exports. The valve of the merchan disc from Great Britain to India, which amounted in the year 181.5 to £870,177, had, in the year 1819, increased to £3,052,741." •Speaking of the advantage of the maintenance of a free port, eligibly situated amongst the Indian . Islands, the Committee adduce the following inte resting and remarkable proof of the quickness with which traders might be expected to pei ceive its va lue The port of Sincapore, during the year that it has been.in the possession of the British Govern. ment, and opened for the purposes of general trade, has rapidly risen. The population, which had before scarcely amounted to 200 persons, in three months in creased to not less than 3000, and now exceeds 10,000 in the whole; while 173 sail of vessels of different descriptions arrived and sailed in - the course of the first two months." That extensive and important branch of inquiry, the China trade, receives particular attention. After adverting to the several opinions entertained regard ing. the opening of that trade, the Committee say— •, They are inclined to the opinion, that regula tions might be established at Canton, either by placing the free trade of Canton under the superintendence of a Consul, or investing the principal servants of the Company with some authority over the seamen en gaged in the free trade, by which any apprehension or inconvenience might be removed ; and without in tending with the monopoly of the British market, enjoyed by the India Company, the British Merchant mrht be safely admitted to a participation in a trade which has proved safe, lucrative, and capable of great improvement, in the hands of the foreign trader. The existing charter of the Company expires in 1834;" but, adds the Report, 4 , there are some views of this subject to which the attention of Parliament may be immediately directed." _ _ The Report, in conclusion, gives the following im portant in , Qrmation The Committee have been informed by the Members of his Majesty's Govern ment, who are Members of the Committee, that a Bill was prepared to be submitted to Parliament in the course of the last Session for extending the private trade between India and foreign Europe ; and that the introduction of such a Bill has only been post poned in consequence of the inquiries depending in 'Parliament connected with Asiatic commerce." The jail at Worcester was lately broken into by some person whose object is rather difficult to guess. This is reversing the order of things entirely. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY S. EAST INDIA COMPANY V. BAZET. _ Mr. TINDAL, from the Court of King's Bench, moved for a new trial, for the consideration of an issue directed by this Court, to try the validity of a bill of lading, for the importation of sixty casks of in digo. The ground on which the present application was made was, that the circumstances of the case were so voluminous and intricate, that three of the Jurymen, after being absent from the Court for a considerable time, applied to the Court to relieve them from giving their verdict; but the Court being unable to comply with their desire, they in a short time afterwards returned a verdict for the defendant. The LORD CHANCELLOR said—" It does not ap pear to me that the question to be decided for the in formation of this Court could not have received the mature judgment of the Jury, in the time elapsed be tween that of making their application to the Court and that of delivering their verdict; a new trial must therefore take place, for the satisfying of the con science of this Court." - COURT OF KING'S UENCH, MAY S. Their Lordships met at the usual hour, and pro ceeded to dispose of motions for new trials, &c. At one o'clock, the attendance at the Bar was ex tremely thin, and, although several causes remained in the paper to be disposed of, on calling them over, it was found that the Counsel were not ready in any of them. If the plaintiff's Counsel was present, the defendant's was absent, and so oa the contrary ; and the Court found it impossible to proceed any farther. The CHIMP Jurince strongly censured Counsel for this neglect and non-attendance; The Court wee always, his Lordship observed, most anxious to ac commodate Gentlemen at the Bar, on those occasions when their duty in other places called for their ab sence, or where any other good cause was stated, but some link consideration was due to the Bench in re turn. Himself and his brothers were now put to very considerable inconvenience, and much valuable time was wasted. They were drawn down to discharge their duty to the suitors of the Court and to the Pub lic, but found no Gentleman at the Bar ready to pro ceed. Ile wished it now to be understood,-that Mon day would be the last day the Court would sit before Easter Term, which commences on Wednesday; and • on Monday the Court would take every cause in the ' order in which it stood in the paper, and any Gentle man not being prepared, unless good reasons were assigned, his cause would be struck out of the paper. Their Lordships then rose, it being only one o'clock. FROM SATURDAY NIGIIrB GAZETTE. CARLTON-lit/USK, MAY 4, 1821.
