SONNET. Then fare thee well, maiden, the vision is past, Too bright and too beautiful longer to last ; Go teach some new lover the spell of thine eye, Then leave him, like me, cruel maiden, to die! Why didst thou applaud my adventurous strain? Why soothe me in sorrow, wiry pity in pain? Ah ! why didst thou add, to bind faster my brow, The grace of thy mind to the charms of thy brow ? Thou bast taught me to love and to languish for thee, An exile from home and from kindred to be ; Thou bast taught use to weep—there is one lesson yet — Oh! teach me to hate tlsCe—teturn—and forget! Forget thee !—O never ! the flame in my heart Will burn unsulaklued wheresoever thou att : While memory lives, there's no end to my tears — No safety in distance—nci solace in years! CA UTION TO LODGIAG-IJOUSE KEEPERS. The following daring attempt to procure goods tin der false pretences should put housekeepers, and espe cially such as let lodgings, upon their guard against the numerous fraternity of sWindlers now upon the pavj of the metropolis: Tuesday afternoon a middle aged man, of dark corn— pler ion, bushy whiskers, and tolerably decent appear ance, called at the house of a respectable widow Lady, residing in Northumberland-court, in the 'Srrand, asking to see the lodgings referred to in a bill exhibited in the window, and stating that he came from Reddish's Hotel, Jermyn-street, St. James's. The lodgings, after due in spection and diligent inquiry, were pronounced suffi cient in respectability, dimension, and accommodation, for the Gentleman at whose request he had sought them, and whom he represented to be a highly respeetable re sident at Reddish's Hotel ; he therefore decided upon taking them on the terms proposed by the landlady, wrote the name and address of the lodger expectant, and was about leaving the house, when, on passing a door which, half opened, gratified the optical sensation of our hero with the view of a new and capacious upper benjanain, he inquired, " Pray, Madam, who occupies that elegant apartment ?" " Captain It—," was the reply, and the stranger immediately declared an inti macy with the gallant Officer, who, he said, had often done honour to the sparkling champagne of the hotel cellars. Eventually the gentleman's gentleman honed himself out at the door, and the landlady proceeded to put everything in apple-pie order for the reception of the embryo inmate of her establishment. Some time in the course of the evening a latl knocked at the door, and presenting the compliments of Captain It. to Mrs. Hex, stated that he was going a short dis tance out of town, and as it threatened rain wished the transmission of his travelling coat by the boy. Mine hostess, however, being particularly partial to docupren tary evidence, requested the lad to bring a written order for the delivery of the upper-benjamin, as she should not feel justified in letting it go out of her possession uithout such security. The lad said he would return to Peek's Coffeehouse for the required order, and forth with disappeared. In a short time he returned with the authority, and which, on presentation, appeared ample and sufficient; Mrs. Hex ascended the stairs, reached the elegant apartment of the Captain, and was leaving the room with the three taped capot on her arm, when, casting her rays of vision on the order for delivery which she held in her hand, she thought the writing not that of her gallant lodger and yet familiar to her; sht paused and pondered; the similarity of the writing in the note and of the address left by the stranger in the afternoon flashed across her mind ; sus spicion of trickery succeeded, and, with a determination not to be duped, she replaced the coat on the easy chair of its late occupancy, and returning to the lad at the door, told him, on reconsideration of all the circurn stancei, she should not deliver the Captain's coat to any person other than himself. What could the boy do but go? He went; an especial messenger was dispatched by mine hostess to Peele's, but neither Captain R. nor the little Mercury were there; the former shortly re turned home, and denied sending for the coat, or having been at Peele's. Inquiry was made at Reddish's Hotel, but no lodger for our sagacious landlady appeared, and the Gentleman's gentleman was not to be found.— We learnt at the respectable Hotel alluded to, that, within the last fortnight, at least ten or twelve unfortu nate dupes of a person of a similar description have ap plied there, and, in every instance, except *the present, bad been eased of either blunt or toffntry. Ii the course of an Address from Lieutenant BACK, • who accompanied Captain FRANKLIN in his perilous journey to the Polar Seas, at a public dinner given to him by his fellow.townsmen of Stockport, he took oc casion to speak of Captain PARRY, and stated his un qualified opinion, that that gallant Officer was safe, and would eventually accomplish the object of his enter prising voyage. ACCIDENT AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Tuesday night, as the one-shilling gallery was opened, a great rush being made by those chit were at a little distance ft om the door, a youth of the name of Jones was pushed down by the pressure, and those behind stepping upon him injured him so much as to leave him in a most de—, plorable condition. The blood gushed out of -his ears, eyes, and mouth ; he had some of his teeth broken, and - complained much of his arm, which was thought to be fractured. He was carried to the nearest hospital. FRENCH ClARDY.—According to the Clerical Alma nack, or DireCto-y, which has just been published in France, it appears, that in the Budget for the year 1822-23, the sum of 29,520,000 francs was set apart by the Government for the maintenance of the French Clergy. In addition to this, the Communes voted 6,407,727, and the General Councils of the Departments 1,162,618 francs, so that the funds appropriated to the Clergy amount to 37,089,745 francs, about 103,5891. • sterling. In bequests and legacies to ecclesiastical foun dations from the year 1802 to 1823, there is a capital sum of 13,388,554 francs, of which the greater part was received between the years 1815 and 1822, the ag gregate of the more early years amounting to only the roam of 2,900,749 francs. In a population of 30,415,191 persons—from which, however, the non-Catholic mem bers must be deducted—there are 38,359 Communes, to which are attached 34,393 Priests or Vicars. The ag gregate number of the actual Clergy is 35,676. But, it is said, the Bishops deem it necessary to augment the number to 50,943. In the year 1821 the deaths among the Clergy were 1403, the number admitted the same year 1522; so that in this way there will be a gradual increase. The number of pupils, or candidates for Holy Orders, in the great and little seminaries, and the Theo logical Colleges, amounts to 2x),379.—French Paper.

A correspondent in Forfarshire informs us, that the partridges this season are far from being numerous, seven or eight making the average strength of each covey. Grouse are likewise scarce, and hares more rarely to be met with than either. PEDESTRIANISM. Mr. Marcham, of Tothill-street, Westminsrer, failed in his match to walk seven miles in an hour for twenty sovereigns. 'The time had expired when be was 400 p:rds from home. He did the first three miles and a half in half an hour, but he began to get fagged in the sixth mile. BOXERS. The City Amateurs were all in high spirits at Mr. Pledger's, the Castle, Moorgate, on Wednesday night, and nothing else but sport ing was the theme of conversation tin " time" was called, to snake the following articles, and post the blunt : " Castle, Moorgate, Wednesday, Oct. 15, 1823. " Abraham Belasco and Edward O'Neil agree to fight for fifty pounds a-side. A fair stand-up fight. In a 24-fret roped ring. Half minute time. To take place on Tuesday, December 30. Mr. Jackson to name the place of fighting. An umpire to be chosen by each party ; and a referee on the ground. Ten pounds a-side is now deposited, and twenty pounds a-side more to be deposited at Mr. Holt's, Cross-lane, Long-acre, on Wednesday, the sth of November, between the hours of eight and ten o'clock in the even ing, or the above deposit to be forfeited; and the remainder of the stakes, twenty pounds more a-side, to be made good at Mr. Pledger's, Castle, Moorgate, on Tuesday, 16th of December, between the hours of eight and ten o'clock in the evening, or the above deposits to be forfeited. " E. O'NEAL. Witness.—A. A. BELASCO." The above match was made in the most gentlemanly way be tween the parties, and O'Neal and Belasco shgok hands together, exchanged wishes for good health over a glass of black strap, and toasted, " May the best man wia it !" LENNEY AND &mast' AAR0N......& match was also made between these boxers of the tight weigkU, for twenty-five pounds a-side. for a second battle in the same ring in which Josh. Hudson and Ward contend on the 11th of November. The little Jew boy was so elated on the snatch being made, that he dummied a comic stave with so much point and humour as to call forth loud approbation and An ~OM Defoe offered to do three things with any man in Ungland fur one hundred pounds a-side; namely, to run one hundred yards or a quarter of a mile, to throw a cricket-ball the greatest distance, and to fight any man under eleven stone. He can be backed at odds to win tam of the events out of three, and no great odds are required that Defoe wins the whole of them. SPRING AND LANGAN. After all the gasconading and bluster, this match is not yet made, nor is it likely that it will be. It is true that articles were drawn up for a fight ; but there it ended, in vappur, as there is no money staked, nor has there been since the ,ClO was withdrawn. Spring and Cribb are at Liverpool, and the former wishes much to have some stake down, and writes to a friend in Little St. James's-street (who is ready to stake any sum for him), that he should be in Lon don in a few days, and he will accommodate any of Langan's friends, wbo are ready for match-making. Wednesday sennight, about half-past ten o'clock, a fire was dis covered in the stables of Mr. Thomas Scott, of the Black Swan Inn, Kelso, situated in the Horse Market, in which were two of the horses engaged to run there, naively, &r Henry and White Rue. With great di/ficulty the horses were got out of the stable, and Sir Henry was so little injured as to be able to run the same day; but we understand the filly was considerably injured. By great exer tions the fire was confined to the stable where it originated, which, however, was totally consumed. KINGSTON SESSIONS. Yesterday, an appeal was heard against an order signed by two Magistrates, for stopping up a road in the parish of Chertsey. It excited considerable interest, as the person most particularly interested in resisting the appeal was said to be a man of great influence and rank, and the appellant one of the ordinary class. Mr. BA arnvicLL and Mr. THESSIOER contended for the stopping up of the road, which,' they said, was wholly unnecessary, and added to the expenses of the parish in a very great degree. Against this measure, the only man who contended was a village patriot, named Kean. Witnesses were then called, who stated their opinion that the road in question was not necessary, although it was partially used, and was a shorter way to some places, which were frequented by those who resided i n some of the populous parts of the parish. One of these uitriesses, a surveyor, declared that the road was of no use whatever, and that it was, in fact, quite desolate until, from respect to Sir Henry Hotham, who resides' , close to it, he (the surveyor) made it passable and re paired it. He added, that the Gipsies became quite a nuisance upon it. Mr. HUTCHINSON supported the appeal. The fact, he said, was, Sir Henry Hotham was the respondent in this case, on whose account this very honourable sur veyor had first repaired the road, and now wished to destroy it. The appellant, because he was not wealthy, had met with scorn and derision on account of his in -1 dependent and manly support of the rights of the parish; but if, because a band of Gipsies might visit the gates of Sir Henry Hotham's house, the rights of a palish were to be violated, a close might be put to he law of the land on the subject, and the question referred to Sir Henry Hotham himself alone. The roacccould not be proved unnecessary and useless, and unless it could be proved so, the Act of Parliament did not comprehend it within its operation. Mr. Hutchinson then stated, that the road was considerably shorter to numerous places than the main road ; and that it was frequently used, especially when the other road was flooded ; and that it was an old public road. Witnesses were then called, who del:Ted to the above•mentioned facts. The Bench deliberated and dif fered. A division took place, and it was decided that the order ►hould be confirmed, by a very small mAjoritA POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. The drtver of a hackney-ooach, known by the name of Mb Logic, which appellation was bestowed upon him by a wag of his own fraternity, in consequence of wearing a hat with an exceeding broad brim, was brought up on a warrant for assaulting William Davis Nachman to Richard French, Rsq. of Montague-square. It 'appeared that both complainant and defendant were with their coaches at the breaking up of Drury-lane Theatre on Wed ' nesday evening last, and while Davis was pulling up by the side of the portico, the defendant drove in before him, and thereby got the coaches entangled together, and on Mirk remonstrating, the defendant struck him several times with his whip. • The coachman admitted striking the complainant, but alleged that he was struck first. He was convicted in the penalty of twenty shillings and costs. MR. CODSICIT AND VII KIINSINCTON TRUST.—Yesterday aftiTnoon Mr. Levy, one of the lessees of the Kensington Trust turnpike roads, attended by a Solicitor, appeared to answer to informations exhibited by Mt. William Cobbett against the collectors of tolls, for exacting him divers persons therein named, three halfpence more than by law allowed. Mr. Cobbett attended to conduct his•case, and, at the invitatiln of Sir lticininn Thome, took a scat on the bench. When the caseNvas called on, the Solicitor for the lessees stepped forward, and requested that it might stand over until they could have the assistance of Counsel. The notice they had had was very short, and it was a question of such vital importance to the lessees, that he trusted there would be no objection on the part of the worthy Magistrate to the application for postponement. Mr. Cobbett.—lt is of vital importance to the Public as wail as the lessees, and more especially to the poor o v on whose behalf I appear, namely, the proprietors of one-horsy carts, who have suf. fered shamefully by this system of extortion. Mr. Levy.—Why, you have never suffered, Mr. Cobbett, and why need you be so warm in the cause? Mr. Cobbett.—No; because they know me: I have threatened to pull them up; and they are therefore glad to take three-pence, instead of four-pence halfpenny. Mr. Levy.— Why they let you go through for nothing soor , :r than be troubled with you; you know that you no somser show your face, than they call out—" That's Cobbett, let hint go." Sir RICHARD Bums said he thought the notice sufficient. The question, although certainly one of great importance, was a very simple one, and he did not see why it should not be at once pro ceeded with. Mr. Cohbett said, that several of the compkinants came from a considerable distance, and it would be a great inconvenience to them to come again. Besides, the lessees, in the meantime, would continue to pocket 61. or 71. a day, which was the least they gut by their extortion. _ Mr. Cobbett to Mr. Levy.—You are a Jew, I suppose? Mr. Levy.—l am a Jew, it is true; but you are neither Jew, Christian, nor any other religion. You are att Atheist, as every body knows. Mr. Cobbett smiled, and observed, that what he had advanced in this Mice was strictly true. He had taken up the business only in consequence of an application from several poor men who were suf ferers by the system. One poor man alone, a gardener, bad paid more than 30.. in three-halfpence. within the last few weeks. Mr. Levy.—Then I suppose you think he has 30s. the less to lay out in the purchase of your two-penny trash, and that makes you so warm In the cause. Mr. Cobbett (reddening).—You see, Sir Richard Birnie, what a passion the man is hi. Mr. Levy said, that with respect to the inconvenience to the wit nesses,. he was willing to dispense with - their attendance altogether, by admitting the fact of taking four-pence halfpenny, and the ground of their defenze would be that they had a right to do so. It was a stipulation in their lease that they had such a right. Mr. Cobbett.—l can tell you that you have no such right; the Act of Parliament deprives you of it. The Solicitor for the lessees said, that his clients were held harm- less by the Statute, and the trustees alone were really responsible. Mr. Cobbett.—What part of the Act holds them harmless? Solicitor.—The seventh clause. Mr. Cobbett.—lt does no such thing. Pray who are you? Solicitor.—My name is Drew. I have no reason to be ashamed of my name, whatever you may have. Mr. Cobbett.—You ought to be ashamed to own yourself a law yer, for it Is plain you do not understand the Act of Parliament. The seventh clause has no more to do with the question at issue than the unfortunate colour of my hair. Mr. Levy declared that they were held harmless by that clause; and as a proof of it, they had been remunerated by the trustees of other roads when cases had been decided against them ; so that in fact the lessees could not gain or lose a farthing by it. Mr. Cobbett.—l say the lessees have gained at least £20,000 by it. Solicitor.—Will you make good all it falls short of that? Mr. Cobbett.—No, I should be sorry to undertake any such thing. Mr. Levy said, that he would undertake that between that day and the final decision of the case, the additional three-halfpence should not be taken; but of course, if it should be decided in their favour, it would be resumed. They only wanted time to meet the question properly. Mr. Cobbett.—Time! you have had time enough. I told one of your men I meant to pull you all up. • Mr. Levy asked what man? Mr. Cobbett.—How can I remember the face of any one of your men, when you change them every two hours? Mr. Levy.-..-But you could have seen his name over the door. Mr. Cobbett.—l did not look for his name, for 1 did not flunk such a step necessary; but I give you my word I told him so. Levy.—Your word! what is your word worth? You have been talking for these three years about your Gridiron, but you are not broiled yet. Mr. Cobbett.—No, nor crucified neither, nor do I wish to be. Mr. Levy.—Perhaps not; but you might be, without injustice. &r R. Brame said he could not help thinking the proposition of Mr. Levy afar one, and If Mr. Cobbett had nu very powerful ob jection to offer, the case shohld be postponed. Mr. Cobbett.-oh, in Gon's name, let them have the benefit of awful j do not deprive the Gentlemen of the benefit of Counsel. Mr. Levy said the evidence of one person who had paid would be sufficient; one case would, of course, decide all the rest. Mr. Cobbett.—Oh; but that won't do. I want to get all these poor men their money back. Mr. Levy.—ln order that you may share in it, I suppose. Mr. Sketchley (of Kensington) said, that as he was one of the Trustees, he should of course take no part in the proceedings in his magisterial capacity. He merely attended as a person interested in the question; and he only wished to observe that he was sure Mr. Levy wished for substantial justice, and no more. A post ponement would enable him to have Counsel, and then the question would be fully discussed in all its beatings. Sir R. thaws said he could have no objection. He was always happy to see Counsel, and to receive instruction from them. Mr. Cobbett said he had no objection to have it postponed, peal vided it was fixed for any day on which Sir IL MANIC sat. Sir R. Blame asked if Monday would suit all parties? and was answered in the affirmative. Monday, at two o'clock, was then fixed for the hearing. Mr. Cobbett, as he was leaving the bench, said to Mr. Levy, " You .re in the wrong, depend upon it; and you had better take my advice, and give it up." Mr. Levy.—Take your advice ! Oh no, Sir, lam not such a fool as that; I would not take your advice for a ptimy. You have been wanting the people of this country to take your advice for many years, and if they had, we should have been in the hands of the enemy before now. ..15.‘a4 iLWIJUIIIIS CU sup, f 7C41015 u The hest whiskey is now-selling in Dublin for 6s. a above•tnentioned facts.

Toe Oarssaxs or rue POTAIS Serrutaa.—A Gentleman con meted with a public ofticp attended the Justice-room and stated, that he bad seen the case which had appeared before the Public, of the destitute orphans of the unfortunate emigrants to Poyais, and w: ready , if they were girls, to obtain them admission into the Feiale Orphans' Asylum. The benevolect applicant received thanks for this offer, but .was informed that the infints were all three nudes. Some Anevolent Lady sent 30s• to be applied to their use. Since the statement of the case was made to the Public, we understand two of them hive been attacked by a disorder similar to that of which their parents died, a dysentery, and are so unwell that Captain Antrim has not ,thought it prudent to apply to the parish officers for their removal from the place where they now are, No. 3, Norfolk-street, Black. wall, wider the care of a sailor's wife. H A TTON- G A RDEN. Yesterday Mr. Jinnes bfeluille , gold watch-case maker , living at No. 4f.', Spencer -street, Clerkenwell, was brought up in the c istody of Edwards, the officer, charged by the Goldsmiths Company with feloniously transposing one piece of gold, stamped with the !fall mark, to another piece of gold unstaniped, which, by the Statute of the 38th of George 3d, chap. 60, sect. 7. constitutes the off e nc e a capital felony.

The paramour was placed as a criminal at th: her, and she was permitted to remain with her husband. The Magistrate asked Mr. Morris what Complaint he bad to make against the prisoner? Mr. Morris detailed every particular relatieg to his acquaintance with bins; he was very cool and collected, . 1 although he made no charge against him for stealing his wife, i t preferred a charge of felony against him for stealing his property, or for being accessary to it; but unlurtutiately he had no proof substantiate either charge. _ In answer to the Magistrate's questiuns,the prisoner said he nu t certainly had been living with Mrs. Morris, but he denied am knowledge of property. If she had taken away anything she die posed of it herself as she pleased. The Magistrate then asked Mr. Morris what line of conduct he intended to adopt regarding his wife ? Mr. Morris said he was ready to receive her back, and hoped di imprudent step would he a caution to her iu future, and that she would act better now than ever before.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, Yesterday John Arnsdule was indicted for having as• saulted William Mortimer. The prosecutor stated, that he had been employed for a great number of yeats by a Gentleman to collect money and rents. In making his collection, he called on a Mr. Bromley, to whoa the prisoner was a servant ; some words arose, and,.by the prosecutor's statement, it appeared he received via lent blows on the face. lie was cross-examined by the prisoner.
