TO THE GREEKS. . - Arise, arise! the time is come, Ty skies are brightning red; "fis Glory calls thee from the tomb, With voice to wake the dead. No weakness Low, no dull delay. Fair land of Braece, for thee; Then rouse thee from thy death-like pall, The breezes of thy mountains call To life and liberty AEd gird thee with tby glittering sword To cut thyself a way Through tln•usands of the Turkish horde To Tyranny's decay; 0 dream not that thy Spirit's fled, While yet one bosom burns, And the ashes of the glorious dead, That nobly fought, and never fled, Are starting from their urns ! • Unfold thy banners to the breeze, And marshal every man, From Ida to the lonian seas, With Freekloni in the van; The tyrant's step is faultering now, The world will smile to see The standard of the Sultan low, The Crescent sink beneath the blow That's levelled by the free ! Albanian from Epirus strand, Th' lonian from the sea, The Spartan and Thessalian band Are burning to be free ; Mount Athos sees the Cross on high, Above it's convents wave, Religion fires the coldest eye, The night of slav'ry has gone by, And GOD is with the brave! Can agcs tame the warrior's arm, Beside the iEgean Isles? Can youth's high blood forget to warm When first it's country smiles? Oh ! by the thrilling battle-my That swell'd upon the sea, When Vict'ry saw with joyful eye That Athens yet was free, Think not of ignoble peace, 1:1.41e3th the sword nc'er sbeath'd of yore, ALd dye thy s:reams with Turkish gore, For Glory and for Greece! Aberdeen, Oct. 12, 185 a. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. Yesterday these Sessions commenced. The Chair man (Mr. Coxsr), hi charging the Grand Jury, re marked, that although the list of cases was nume rous, fret he had reason to believe they would find nothing out of the ordinary course in the business which would be submitted to them. itl‘Carthy, Roebottom, Deane, Hardy, Davis, and Jones, privates in the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards, were then put to the bar on a charge of riot in the Almonry, Westminster, on the 18th June last. Mr. ADOLPHUS informed the Court that the pri soners at the bar had been already tried at the Old Bailey Sessions upon a charge of murder arising out of an affray in Westminster on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. One of them (M'Carthy) had keen found guilty of manslaughter; the rest were acquitted. As it was not the intention of the Parish, after the investigation which the subject had already undergone, to prosecute the matter further, it only remained for the Court to arraign the prisoners and discharge them.—This was accordingly done; but before the prisoners left the bar— The Cuantssmi said-4d Prisoners, it is better before you go from this place that your attention should be called to the gross impropriety of your conduct on this occasion. Your subsequent behaviour would lead one almost to suppose, that in the commission of the crime you had the intention of doing deadly mischief ; for, sirce your acquittal, you have not only considered yourselves justified in what you have done, but you have gone and abused the officers of justice, who only did their duty, one of whom narrowly escaped with his life. You all know that you have since boasted that you gloried in the act, and that you would rather have died than made any conces sion. You hare not been visited with punishment, and the great lenity shew•n you should be taken in . proper sense. However you might have been prompted by a high spirit, yet the danger in which you stood, and the dread of being again in a similar situation, should have its full effect upon your minds. Persons who support the dignity of the military profession, under whose controul you more immediately are, feel the necessity of assisting and protecting the officers of justice, and 1 hope, before you leave this Court, you will be impressed with the respect due to the laws." Mr. ALLEY was sorry to hear that the soldiers had, subsequently to the day of the tumult, acted impro perly towards any of the police. There was certainly nothing in the conduct of the latter throughout the whole affair to provoke or justify any such attack. Mr. RAINSFORD, one of the Magistrates from the Queen-square Police-o f fice, complained in the strongest terms of the ill-treatment that Cooper of that Office had received from one of these soldiers : the violence of the latter had been in the particular instance al luded to most intolerable, and might have led to serious general mischief, had he not promptly inter fered, and sent to the Horse Guards for assistance. Mr. ADOLPHVS said, that nothing could be more proper than the Chairman's admonition to the sol diers, who would, he trusted, profit by it in their fu ture conduct. Certainly, nothing could justify any ill treatment of the police; but, on the other hand, no treatment could be worse than that endured by the soldiers, on the day of the occurrence which had already undergone investigation. They had suf fered what soldiers, what men. with flesh and blood, cotild not bear. Was it to be tolerated that brave men, who had fought the battles of their country in time of war, and who. evinced so much loyalty in ti me of peace; were to be insulted and abused as they walked the public streets ?• They deserved from their country a very different treatment. lie trusted that soldiers would alwayslemember they were citi zens, and had a civic as well as a military obedience to pay the Authorities of their country. They would, lie trusted, imitate the high example of their Offi cers, than whom there could not be a more high minded or honourable set of men. The iiisoners were then discharged. POLICE. BOW-STREET— Yesterday, a decent-looking middle-1 aged man applied to the sitting Magistrate, Mr.! Becicevr, for some assistance to recover the sum of £237, a which he was defrauded, or to punish the person who had cheated him. The applicant stated, that his occupation was that of a gentleman's ser vant, and some. time ago he went to live with a Mr. and Mrs. Kn—tt, at Brompton• row, as butler. They kept a very good establishment, the house was ele gantly furnished, and they appeared in all respects to be persons of fashion and respectability. When he had been a few days in the service, he happened to mention in the hearing of his master, that he had a considerable sum of money in the hands of a person at a certain rate of interest; upon which Mr. K. said he could put him in a way of making much more of his money, if he would place it in his hands. The applicant thankfully accepted the offer, and in a few days he got the whole sum of £237 from the person in whose hands it was placed, and delivered it to his new master. About that time several expensive ;tr acks of new furniture were brought into the house, and in a few days after the master called him into his dressing -room,' and said he (the applicant) was aware that he had been purchasing some furniture and other things lately, and although he was not obliged to pay his bills immediately, yet it would be a considerable saving to him to pay ready money. and if the applicant would give him leave to use the £237, he should esteem it a favour; adding, that on a certain day he should receive a remittance of two thousand pounds, and then he would. place his money , out for him in such a way as would bring him at least 8 per cent. The applicant cheerfully consented to this proposal ; but before the day named for the arrival of the remittance, Mr. and Mts. K. suddenly left the house, and had not since been heard of. He had used every possible exertion to find them, but with- out success ; and he hoped the Magistrate would s sist him, for he had been deprived by this trick of the savings of his whole life. The Magistrate sa:d he had seldom heard of a more wicked transaction ; but he was sorry to say he could render him no assistance. The money had been freely lent, and the applicant had no other remedy than an action against his late master, if he could find him. QUEEN-SQUARE.--Yesterday William Penton, a lbaker, residing at Chelsea Common, was charged upon the information of one of his own trade, with baking rolls every Sanday morning. He did not deny the accusation, but urged in his defence his having a numerous family, and his trade not very brisk. The Magistrate fined him ten shillings, and five shillings costs. James Geddins was put to the bar charged with picking the pocket of Mr. Bramwell, a respectable wine-merchant at Pimlico. It appeared that a few days ago the prosecutor was passing along the Strand, and was accosted by two Gentlemen, who inquired whether he had lost anything out of his pocket? He felt it, and missed his handkerchief, and the Gentle men pointed out Geddins as the thief. Mr. Bram- I well followed him, and during the pursuit, Pace, an active officer of this Office, came up, and ran Ged dins into the cellar of Mr. &ill, where he was taken by the latter and Pace. Mrs. Still was requested to get a light before leaving the cellar, and in proceed ing to do so, she saw the prisoner throw from him a silk handkerchief, which Mr. Bramwell swore to be the same of which he had been robbed. .Geddins was fully committed for trial at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions.—lt is lamentable to think how little effect the dread of punishment has on these noto rious pickpockets. This fellow's brother was only sent from Newgate a few weeks ago for embarkation to New South Wales, for a similar offence. Mantisonouott-STREET.—Yesterday, a female, of about twenty-four years of age, and of decent ap pearance, attended at this Office, to make inquiry how she should proceed in order to be sent back to her native country, America? The poor creature ap peared to be much distressed in her mind, and during her statement she was frequently interrupted by ex cessive grief, which stifled the utterance of her semi menu. Her parents, she said, were resident at a place called Perth, in America, and were in affluent cir cumstances, her father being possessed of some landed property. She lived with her friends in that coun try until within the last few years ; but in conse quence of the entreaties of a young man, for whom she had formed an attachment,-after having paid his addresses to her, she left her friends and came to England, was married to the object of her affections, by whom she had two children. Since being mar ried he had used her in a most brutal manner, and at length deserted both her and her children, who were literally starving for want, and she knew not where to trace her husband, who had addicted him self to drinking. She had no ,means of getting her living in' this country, and was sure that her pa rents would' receive her under their protection, if she could possibly get back to America. If she was to remain here, her children and herself must starve. — She knew that Lord Bathurst would use his endea vours to send her back to her own country, but hav ing no friend to convey the nature of her situation to his Lordship, it caused her to apply there to know what she should do. She was advised to go eo the Overseers of Mary-la-Bonne Parish, where she re sided, and either apply for relief or make a full state ment of her case, and there w as no doubt but they would find her husband, and make him support her, or they would furnish her with relief, until she and her chil dren could be sent back to her own country. She quitted the Office in tears, with that determination. Ala 4y-tit-BONNE OFFlCE.—Yesterday, John Ed-1 lowes, who stood remanded on the charge of fraudu lently obtaining LSO from Mrs. Hill, of Blandford street, Manchester-square, under the pretence of getting a presentation for her son, a child about eleven years of age, for the Charter-house, underwent a farther examination before JOHN RAWLINS° and ED MUND GRIMM Esqrs. At one o'clock, the hour ap pointed, the Justice-room and the avenue leading to it, were crammed with persons anxious to cat c h a glimpse of the prisoner, many of whom attended to i prefer charges against him. The Magistrate called on the prisoner for his defence as to his obtaining the £3O from Mrs. Hill. The prisoner did not deny the charge, but offered to refund the money, which was, of course, refused, and he was committed on that charge, and remanded on the others till Monthly. UORSHIP•STKEET.—STEALING CHlLDREN.—...Yes terday, Jen'tinia Matthews was brought before Al. StrABEY, jun. Esq. charged with conduct which ex-' cited astonishment at the depravity of human nature. John Barrt, one of the parish constables of Spital fields, stated, that through the complaints of several parents who had lost their children, he proceeded-last night to the residence of the prisoner, in Upper Cate street, and in a room on the ground floor he founu the wretch at the bar surrounded by eight children,. wiih whom she was then enjoying the fruits of their iniquity. A supper, consisting of a variety of meats and vegetables, stolea by the hands of theseliule ones wl:om she had trained to thieving, was making ready on the fire. Three of these children, named Frederick Clark, John Clatk, and John Bailey, were owned by their parents, and the officer took them and the wo man to the watch-house; from whence he brought them to the Office yesterday morning, and it was with great difficulty he could save himself and his charge from the indignation of the populace. The father of Bailey, aged eleven years, appeared at the Office, and, with tears in his eyes, related how he had lost his child two months ago, how he had sought for hint everywhere, had advertised him, and at length believed him to be lost; and now was shocked to find that through the means of this vile woman the child had been daily committing felonies. The children seemed so much under the controul of this infamous woman, that they were afraid to tell the truth, till she was removed from the bar. Little Bailey then told how they were employed every day, being sent out to steal what they could, and bring it home in the evening; when they could get nothing else, they stole mutt front the l.utchcrs, and vege tables front the green-grocers. She had a pack of cards, by which she told them their fortunes in a morning, whether they would succeed, or whether they would be taken by an offictx.—Mr. SWABEY ob served, that since he had attended this Office he had never witne,sed a case of so much iniquity.—The prisoner was committed for further examination, 'hen the Magistrate intimated be should desire the Parish to prr - :ecnte her far the misdemeanour, in ex citing these children to commit felonies ; and the children are detained in custody at present with the intention of having them produced as witnesses. Uxioxllant..—John Welch, a private in the Ma tines, was charged by William White with assaulting him. The coMplainant stated, that he worked in a tan-yard in the Grange-road, Bermondsey, and that the defendant went to the yard on Thursday, and in quired for him, using the most torrid epithets; and, when he had presented himself, lie struck him on the mouth. The soldier, in his defence, said, he lodged in the neighbourhood, and in the course of the day he was obliged to pass the yard, where he was inva riably assailed by every species of abuse and insult. In fact, he was assailed in all the neighbouthood, for no other reason than that he was a soldier. On the day the assault was stated to have taken place, he was patsing the yard, when the complainant called him a b--y soldier ; and said, that he and all his cloth deserved to be transported.—The Magistrate dismissed the charge, and reprimanded the com plainant for his conduct.—The soldier went on to state, that one Cook, who. worked in the same yard, and who bad come forward as a witness, had stabbed hiin on Thursday night in the groin, with a knife, which penetrated about two inches.—The Magistrate ordered Cook to be taken into custody, and sent the soldier to be examined by a Surgeon, who pronounced that the wound was as described, but by no means dangerous. The Magistrate expressed the strongest indignation at the treatment which the complainant received, and Cook was remanded. Ann. Blake, an interesting young Irish girl, about seventeen, appeared before the Magistrate, charged by Mr. John Elliot, late an Officer in the 77th Regi ment, with gross misbehaviour towards him yester day, in the street, while he was in the company of two Ladies. The delinquent, in her defence, stated, that shewas a native of Killin in the King's County—in the Kin g ' s own Country, and that about two years since she be came acquainted with Mr. Elliot, and by his persua sions was induced to _leave her parents' home, and had continued with him ever. since till within the last three weeks, when he had endeavoured to turn her adrift, destitute of any means of supporting herself, and in a country where she was unknown. She stated that she had suffered much from illness in consequence of the ill-treatment she had received from him, when in a delicate state of health ; that, when at Sunder land, where his Regiment had been stationed, he wished to abandon her, and that at a time when her situation rendered her still more incapable of protect. ing herself; she said that she had furnished him with all the means she had of supporting herself, and that it was by her funds that their carriage was paid up, to London, although she rode on the outside of the coach, while he was comfortably seated in the inside. On their arrival in town she said he left her destitute and friendless, and meeting with him on Wednesday, the recollection of her wrongs so far prevailed over her feelings, •as to induce her to attack him in the manner she had done. The appearance of this young girl bore a proof of the truth of her recital. Mr. Elliot's statement of the case certainly softened the leadingg features of the story. According to his account, she was a wild fish gill,•without feeling or intellect ; and he denied, most positively, that she had ever been subjected to ill-treatment. He, how ever, admitted that she had lived with him for se veral months, but said, if she attempted to affiliate her child upon him, he should be prepar.4 to shew that she was married to one of the soldiers in the re giment. He had not, he said, any intention of leaving her without the means of providing for herself, but he wished to be protected against her rude salutations, she being altogether ignorant of the.esistence of laws. Mr. CIIAMDERS..—It is a pity a young girl of your description should remain in London without friends. The girl replied, she durst not return to her friends in her present condition. Mr. CHAMBERS.—If you are desirous, you can again be returned to your friends. This, she answered, was what Mr. Elliot wP4qd— to turn her adrift, without making any reparation kr the injury and troubles he had occasioned her. Mr, CHAMBERS.-11epeace must be preset ved, and I shall discharge this warrant on your undertaking not again to trespass in this way; and if you have any claim on Mr. Elliot for protection, .yc.o must make a deposition,of your seduction by hini,:and the parish will then take care that you are provided for. The poor girl was theu suffered to leave the °dice. She appeared overwhelmed with grief. .. INQUESTS.
