i - 0 - ORE'S IRISH MELODIES. Oki ! the sight entrancing, Wheu morning's beans is glancing O'er files, array'd With helm and blade, And plumes, in the gay wind danciiig ! 1, hen hearts are all high beating, At:d the trumpet's voice repeating That song, whose breath May lead to death, Til:t never to retreating! I' 4 ll the sight entrancing, V'len morning's beam is glancing O'er files, array'd With helm and blade, And plumes in the gay wind dancing Yet 'tic not helm or feather— I or, ask yon despot, whether His plumed bands Could bring such hands And hearts as out's together? Icave pomp. to those who need 'cm— , Adorn but man with freedom, And pnsud he braves The gaudiest slaves, That crawl where monarchs lead 'era. The sword may pierce the beaver, :atone walls in time may Lever, 'Tit heart alone, Worth steel and stone,' That keeps men free for ever! Oh! that sight entrancing. 'When the morning's beam is glancing O'er files, array'd With helm and blade, And in Freedom's cause advancing ! of Lonjoint expedition approaching the nature of thisi , but not precisely of the same character, they would have had an interest. They usually partake of the grant made by the Crown in such cases. The tenour of their Charter is, that they shall have all prizes captured within their own territories:' Sir WILLIAM SCOTT thought that there was suffi cient in the facts alleged to prove (as he understood it) that this capture vas connected with the reduc tion of the Island of Java, and was therefore to be considered as growing out of the Dutch hostilities of that period, and out of the attachment of this Orien tal Sovereign to the Dutch form of Government.— This being the case, it was enough to found the juris diction of the Court for the purpose that was prayed for. The Decree was then ordered to issue (specially worded) for the said condemnation. SHIP PRINCE REGENT.--( 0 N PETITION.) Thiswas a case of particular importance as regards the liability of freight in cases of bottotnry. The suit arose upon a bottotnry bond given for monies lent, and in this bond the article of freight had not been included ; " ship, freight, and cargo" being usually hypothecated. Here the ship and cargo were the only recited securities. Dr. JENNER shortly stated the facts of the case. Sir W. SCOTT observed, that the proceedings con tained a great deal of irrelevant matter; such as hearsay conversations, and differences of opinion be tween the petitioners, not to mention a by-battle or I two between their clerks. He was sure, from the Learned Counsel, he should receive a just account of the transaction, without any unnecessary derails. Dr. JEERER stated, that this vessel was laden with a cargo of coin from a port in the north of Europe, destined for England. In the course of her voyage she encountered a violent storm, which compelled her to put into a port on the coast of Holland. There the Captain being under the necessity of raising money to pay for the repairs of the ship, gave a bottomry-bond to the parties advancing the money. :The bottomry-bond was conditioned to be paid in three days. On the third day an action was entered into by the holder of the bond against the ship and cargo. On the 21st of May last, the other defaults being allowed by this Court, the fourth and last default was granted by it ; and a decree of perishable monition ant apvtai , ement issued against the cargo. Dr. LUSHINOTON, in this case, appeared on behalf of Mr. Rothschild,who was the holder of the bottomry bond, and who ought clearly to be paid out of the ship and cargo. Whether the Court should direct the freight to be brought in for the purpose of fur nishing additional funds, was a matter with which his client had nothing at all to do. All he looked for was the payment of his bond. Dr. ADAMS said that this was an invalid bond, if it had been taken for a ship and cargo, omitting the freight. It had been acted on so as to render it ae fecttve in validity ; for it could only be valid as a bond on ship, freight, and cargo. Dr. JIINNica conceived that the only point here was LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT or KING'S BENCH, JULY iv- WRIGHT V. BROWN. This was an action for the price of a pair of bel lows: the claim was £2O. The defence was two fold—first, that there was a hole in the bellows ; and, next, that they were bought, not of the plaintiff, but of his father. Mr. SCARLETT contended, that the plaintiff's bel lows would just hold breath enough to blow his case cut of Court. The machines had, in fact, been bought upon special contract: they had been warranted scund, and they had turned out broken-winded. The Cuter JUSTICE said; that if the plaintiff had given an assurance to the defendant, that these bel. lows were fit for immediate usa, and that they be lieved from the evidence that they were not fit for immediate use, then they would find their verdict for the defendant ; if, on the contrary, tify ihought that the plaintiff had merely expressed his own conscien tious opinion on the condition of the bellows, then their verdict would be for the plaintiff. The Jury, after hearing witnesses on both sides, ((mud a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF CMIDION PLEAS, JULY 12. The Sittings after Trinity Term commenced in this Coui t to. day.

CAPTURE OF TARRAGONA. This territory was captured by a conjoint expedition This was an amicable suit between the two Noble of sea and land forces. The only doubt upon the Commanders (Lord Exmouth; nd Lord W. Bentinck) case was, whether this property could be considered to try the question of distribution, joint or separate. as so captured by a conjoint expedition of his Ma. Sir W.

Mr. ALLEY, in the course of the day, moved the Court to discharge the recognizance - of a tradesman who had been bound over to prosecute two persons for felony at the la,t Session. The affidavit of the applicant stated that he was i s attendance the first day of the Sessions until the Afternoon, wiser. the con stable who was concerned told him he might go home, and come again the next morning, for the trial could not take place that day. When he came the next morning, he learned, to his great surprise, that the trial was called on after he left the Court, that the prisoners were acquitted for want of evidence, and that his recognizances were ordered to be estreated. The Learned CHAIRMAN acceded to the motion, and said that these things had of late been very often done by constables, and their conduct could not be too severely reprobated. He wondered that a consta ble should dare to take upon himself the auth pricy to tell a prosecutor that he might leave the Court a any time of the day : it was a gross interference with the course of justice. He hoped there was nothing ! worse than mere imprudence in the matter, but it was very remarkable that several notorious offenders had lately escaped being tried in this very way.— Constables would do well to avoid such practice: in future. Mr. ALLEY said, the Judges had repeatedly had occasion to cemplain of similar conduct, and he knew that a c• instable sometimes undertook to go before tire Grand Jury, and, in fact, manufacture the who.e of the preli , ainary business of a prosecution by himself. Mr. ADOLPHUS aid, he happened to know that this was often done. and that the constables had very substantial rea ons for such a line of conduct. ..... _ Two complaint, of the • same kind were made against other constable, in the t our , e of the day, SUMMER ASSIZES.

No property was found npo i Harrigan, but the testimony of Miss Watson was positive that she had removed the property and car.. veyed it to Hart. Hart said nothing in her defence! but Harrigan declared she knew nothing of her corn. panion but as a neighbour ; that she requested her to go with her to Luy some lace for a child's cap, that the removal of the pi °perry was quite accidental, and that she must have brushed it off the counter with h e , elbow. The value of the lace was state.. at £10...r Both the prisoners were fully committed for trial.

Yesterday the London Police received information of a gross outrage committed by some smugglers, at Deal, on two Officers of Excise. The names of the sufferers are Payne and Smith, and the aggressors appear to have been extremely numerous. The for mer had rendered themselves very obnoxious to the assailants by their active conduct, and they became marked objects of vengeance.. ,In the cour e of the latter part of last week, they were surprised by a body of armed men, who seized them, and having stripped them, and tarred and feathered them, pa raded them through the public streets in a cart, till at length they were rescued, half dead, by the Police. The villains escaped, but several of them are known, and the officers are in active search for them. • By the " New Police Act " whick has just passed— " No shop, room, or place for the sale of, or under pretence of, selling ready made coffee, tea, or other liquors, shall be kept open after eleven o'clock at night, nor opened before four in the morning, be tween Lady-day and Michaelmas ; or before six o'Clock in the morning between Michaelmas and Lady day ; under penalty of any sum not exceeding £10: or, for non-payment thereof, imprisonment and hard labour for any space of time not exceeding three months.
