THE RUINS OF NESTUNL AX OXFORD PRIZE PORM--1821. Mid the deep silence of the pathless wild, Where kindlier nature once profusely stnird, The eternal temples stand—untold their age, Untraced their annals in the historic page, AN that around them stood now far awal, Single in ruin, mighty in decay! Between the mountains and the azure main, They claim the empire of the lonely plain, In solemn beauty through the clear blue light The Doric columns rear their massive height— Emblems of strength antaned-riet conquering Time Has mellowed half the sternness of their primes And bade the lichen and the Moslem Embrown with darker tints the vivid stone: Each channerd pillar of the lane appears Unspoird, yet soften'sl by consuming years, So calmly awful, so scrawly fair, The gazer's limit still mutely worships there. Not always thus—when beam'd beneath the day No fairer scene than Pcestistn's lovely bay, 'When her light soil bore fruit of every hue, And twice each year her far-famed roses blew ; While Bards her blooming bottoms loved to sing, And Tuscan zephyrs fanned the eternal Spring! Proud in her port the Tydeus moored their fleets, And health and commerce filled her peopled streets While here the rescued mariner adored The sea's dread sovereign, Posidonia's lord, With votive tablets decked yon hallowed walls, Or seed for justice in her ample halls. There stood on ►igh the white-robed flamen—there The opening portal poured the choral prayer, While to the o'er-arching heaven swelled full the sound, And incense blazed, and myriads knelt around! 'Tis past—the echoes of the plain are mute, E'en to the herdsman's call and shepherd's flute. The toil. of Art, the charms of Nature fail, And Death triumphant rides the tainted gale; From the lone spot the trembling peasants haste ; A wild the garden, and the town a waste. But these are still the same—alike they mock The invader's menace, and the tempest's shock! Such, e:e the world had bowed to Cesar's throne, Ere yet proud Rome's alL4onquering name was known, They stood ; and fleeting centuries in vain Have poured their fury o'er the enduring fane. Such long shall stand, proud relics of a clime 'When man was glorious, and his works sublime ; While in the progress of their long decay, Thrones sink to dust, and nations pass away ! The York Theatre closed a short, but a successful season, on Monday se'nnight, with the Tragedy of Welk% being under the patronage of Colonel TnAcK WELL and the Officers of the 15th (King's) Hussars. The Presto* CAroxick, of 'Saturday last, contains adverthements of no less than one hundred and twenty nine farms told. all in the County of Lancaster ! Extract of a private letter from West Coast, Deme rara, to a Medical Gentleman in the neighbourhood of Stirling, dated May 14th The Plantain tree, in this country, is almost the sole supply of food for the Negroes, and is used instead of bread by the whites also. A new disease has lately attacked it, principally in the mouth of the river Essequibo, which has laid whole fields waste. A disease so alarming of course has caused a good deal of speculation here, and seve ral communications on this subject have appeared through the medium of the Guiana Chronicle and Demerara Gazelle. The Agricultural Society of Esse quibo have very liberally offered a premium of 100 guineas for the best Essay on the nature and cause of this disease in the Plantain tree." _ . Instructions have been given to Collectors of As sessed Taxes, that the duties in respect to Husbandry Horses are to be collected for only one quarter of the present year ; and after payment of one-fourth part of the duties assessed, the Commissioners of the Dis trict will discharge the remainder of the said duties, Persons who have compounded for the said duties are also to be relieved in the same manner for three, quartets of this year, and being the third year of their contracts, after payment Of one-fourth part of the duties; but no part of the five per cent. duty is to be discharged, which will remain on the charge to be collected when it becomes due. The Easton Lodge Estate, Norfolk, the property of the late WILLIAM FOSTER, Esq. has been pur chased by Ttromns TRENCH BERNEY, Esq. of Mor- Ton Hall, for 50,000 guineas. On Monday last, a number of persons were assem bled at au auction in an upper room of a house at Launceston, and being busily engaged either in exa mining the articles offered for sale, or in attending to the eloquent effusions of the auctioneer, they were wholly inattentive to the state of the floor, which, being unequal to the weight upon it, suddenly gave way with a tremendous crash, and precipitated the whole assemblage to the floor beneath. The con sternation and outcry may be easily imagined : hap pily, however, no very serious injury was sustained. The company chiefly consisted of females, several of whom received contusions, and some have been since confined to their rooms in consequence of the fright they sustained: The auctioneer, a grave personage, escaped with the loss of his spectacles. Lately, at a town in the North of England, a young Clergyman, who is running the race of preferment, was appointed to preach ale Assize Sermon. The Mayor, agreeably to ancient custom, sent the Re ♦erend youth a polite invitation to dinner; but was answered by a gruff note condemnatory of the prac tice of giving what he called public dinners on a Sunday. The astonished Alderman handed this un expected reproof to one of the Learned Lords present, who could not refrain from expressing his disappro bation at what he called ill-timed impertinence. The Semaphore signal-house, which was a short time since erected on the Platform, at Portsmouth, not being sufficiently elevated to answer the purpose for which it was intended, a new one has been deter mined on, and commenced building, upon the roof of the old Government store, occupied by the Vic tualling Board, at the lower end of the High -street, adjoining the Platform battery. It is to be 93 feet above the present building, and in such a command ing situation, that communications can be made from it to the ships at Spithead, and in the Harbour, and to the Isle of Wight, Portsdown Hill, and the sur rounding forts and batteries. PORTSMOUTH, SEPTEMBER :?. The GLASGOW frigate, Honourable Captain DUN CAN, which conveyed her MAntsry's remains to Cuxhaven, is just come in. The GLASGOW will in stantly refit for Ceylon. Sir EDWARD' PAGeD and family have been waiting for some time at Cowes, to embark in the GLASGOW. We are anxiously looking for the arrival of his MAJESTY, who is expected in a day or two. His MA JESTY having honoured this port as the rendezvous of the Royal squadron, the attraction has been very great; at no period do we recollect to have seen so many 1 families as at present inhabit the dif ferent gentee l fimilies as at present inhabit the dii ferent lodging-houses on those delightful terraces that surround the garrisons. The numerous and interesting sights that abound in this neighbourhood have caused the Ex-Queen of PERU to sojourn here a few days ere she goes to London. Lady COCHRANE is much indisposed at the George Hotel. Her Ladyship was about to proceed to Lon don, but was suddenly taken ill. The 15th Regiment is detained by contrary winds, as is also the sailing of the Mary, for New South Wales. MILLBANK REGATTA. Yesterday the amateurs of aquatic sports were highly grati fied by an exhibition upon Old Thames, which, notwithstanding St. Bartholomew's Fair, attracted a vast concourse of spectator:. It was a subscription purse, given by the Gentlemen in the vici nity of the klomeferry-road, to be rowed fur by young Water men who had just served their apprenticeship. Their names were as follow : Daniel Adams and John Healy Orange. George Rust and John \Villiams Green. John Harris and Thomas Trott lied. Charles Newman and IL Croney White. J. Chandler and J. Heath... ..... Light Blue. James Sullivan and Edward Clarke Dark Blue. Edward Golf and William Barrett ... Pink. Thomas Blunt and J. Harrison Yellow. The two first heats were highly contested. The terms were, that they (the first four) were to start from the Horse Ferry, round a boat moored off the Spread Eagle, down the Middlesex shore to a boat at the Horse Ferry, up the river to a boat at the Spread Eagle, and down again to the Horse Ferry-stairs, hi two pair of sculls.—Second I leat—The distance to be the same; only to start from Vauxhall Bridge up the river, and to finish at Vauxhall-bridge.---Third Heat—To start front the Horse Ferry, to go twice round the distant boats, and finish the heat at Vauxhall-hridge. The orange, blue, and pink, were the successful competitors. They started for the grand or sive heat at seven o'clock, and for a considerable time the vic tory was doubtful; they were so close together that it was found necessary for the umpires to keep close up, and there was great clamour that they were fouling each other. After some alter cation' they proceeded, and orange came in first. They re paired to the Tavern close to Vauxhall-bridge, where their friends were in waiting, and they being provided with a fiddler, kept up the merry dance till a late hour. RENFREW, Sear. I.—Thursday the Eaglesham Au tumn fair was held with great spirit. The residenters in that town pride themselves in maintaining their genuine Scottish independence and hospitality, and social usages in general. At four o'clock the feuars mounted on horseback, and, preceded by a band of music, met at the house of Mr. MONTGOMERY, Cross keys. They then moved off on their way through the town ; stopping at evei y change-house door, as one of themselves said, 6 , the landlord came out smiling with his bonnie black hen in his oxter, and gaed a' the lairds a caulker of his best mountain dew."— When the lairds had completed this fraternal tour, they concluded the ceremony, and acknowledged the kindness of the landlords, by taking off their bonnets and giving three hearty cheers,; accompanying each with a shower of half-pence among the children. Next came the laird's horse race for the bonnet. The bonnet is always genuine Stewarton, red ring, or blue ring, according to the taste of the purchaser, and it is gar nished with a large bunch of party-coloured ribands. The race this year afforded great satisfaction, and it was followed by a subscription race. -The people aftewards spent the evening in their usual happy and social manner. Saturday evening, a little before eight o'clock, as a poor man, assistant to a laundress at Islington, was delivering a basket of linen from a little cart, which was drawn up for the purpose close to the kirb-stone, at Messrs. Howes and Hart's, in fleet street, he observed a coal-waggon in his rear ap proaching, which from its closeness also to the kirb, he saw inevitably would run against him, unless the carman paid proper attention, for which purpose he called to him to hold his horses off. At this mo ment a mail-coach passed at a gentle pace outside the waggon, when the carman should have stopped his horses; but neglecting this, the waggon caught hold of the poor man's cart, which threw the horse round on the pavement, and at length lifted him and the shafts into the air, pitching the poor fellow back wards under the fore and hind wheels of the waggon, which by this time was stopped. At this critical mo ment, when the carman should have been at his horses' heads to prevent farther mischief, he aban doned them, when they again went on, and the poor fellow was seen half in his own cart and half in the road, struggling with the wheel, which at length passed over his chest. He was taken up and carried to Bartholomew's Hospital, where it was discovered his collar bone was broken in two places and cracked across in a third, and he now lies in a hopeless state, having a wife and two children to deplore this sad event. No blame whatever is attributable either to the mail or anything else, but solely to the scanda lous neglect of the carman of the coal-waggon. RIGHT !ROM WRONO...—A case was tried at Dur ham last week, in which idiotcy was set up as a de fence. The COMMON SENJEANT, who made the state ment for the prosecution, mentioned a cause which had been tried before a very Learned Judge, with his opinion respecting a knowledge of right from wrong. Two little female children were playing together in a wood, when they quarrelled, and one of them, only eight years of age, killed her companion. On her committing the deed she became fri e llitened, and hid herself. In consequence of this hiding being proved, the Judge gave it as his opinion, that it was a manifest knowledge of having done a crime ; and the child was executed accordingly. An Inquest was held at the Six Bells, Chelsea, on the body of Stephen Coggle, who was found dead on his beat, at the back of the workhouse, on Sunday night. A Surgeon deposed, that there were no marks of violence, and that the deceased appeared to have died from the pressure of extravasated blood on the brain. Verdict—Died by the Visitation of Gov. POLICE. Moostox-nottsix—ronwar Resonates iv Tilt CllT.—Tester day a man, named J. Young, was charged by Mr. Frederick Wolfe, of 17, Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, with having robbed him of a valuable watch with its appendages. Mr. Wolfe stated, that about eight o'clock on Monday night, he was returning home down Clement's-lane, when he was sud denly beset*by three ill-looking fellows, one of whom obstructed his way In the front, and another jostled him. Just at this mo ment, the prosecutor said, a hand made a violent pull at hie watch, the case of which was loosened by the violence of the pull, and was left behind ; but the watch itself he never saw again. He immediately laid hold of the prisoner, who was one of the three, and succeeded in securing him, after a violent resistance. The other two wore out of sight in a moment. A female deposed, that she was returning home through the City on Monday evening, when she observed, at the corner of Chancery-lane, Fleet-street, three fellows dogging a party of four Gentlemen very closely. As she went the same way the Gen tiemen were going, she watched the motions of the men who followed them. The robbers kept up close till Mr. Wolfe sepa rated from the party at the corner of Clement's-lane, when the three turned down the lane after bins. The witness went for ward on her way, hut had not proceeded many yards before she heard the alarm of thieves given, when she turned back and per ceived Mr. Wolfe straggling with the prisoner, whom she re cognized as one of those who had followed the party Fll closely. The prisoner was fully committed for trial, and the parties were bound over to prosecute. A fellow, named Ciaedia, was charged by Mr. J. Bruce, a ve nerable old Gentleman, with having robbed him of a valuable watch. Mr. Bruce stated, that about eight o'clock on Friday night, he was proceeding down Ilishopegate-street, and at the end of Half Moon-street, he was sot-retooled in an instant by five or six men, one of whom tore hi% watch out of his fob with great violence. The prisoner was one of those who were about him. Several of the gang struck at the prosecutor desperate blows, but he parried them off with his umbrella. Ile was em. ployed this way for some moments, during which time the rob ber who had taken the watch made off. up Half Moon-street. when the gang left the prosecutor, who followed them with the cry of " stop thief;' but without overtaking any of them : oe returning back, however, he met the prisoner, and gave him in charge of au officer. The prisoner protested that he followed the prosecutor when he raised the cry of stop thief, with a view of rendering him assistance, when the latter turned round on him and charged bins with being one of the gang ; nothing could be more un founded ; had it been the case, he would naturally have rl.n out of the way. The prosecutor said, that from the situation of the prisoner at the time, he could not have acted better for his own safety than he had. If he had ran forward, he must have been taken, and a crowd were rushing up behind bins, so that hi, only chance was to endeavour to escape notice. The Loan Mania said a Jury could alone decide the matter. The prisoner complained bitterly, and hoped his usage would be a warning to innocent persons nut to interfere to catch a thief. Jeremy Garfield, the silversmith, who was examined some time since on a charge of having forged the Hall and Duty marks on plate, underwent a final examination. No new evidence was brought forward in any way material, and upon the evidence first adduced he was fully committed for trial. It was stated that the crime of forging the Hall and Duty marks on plate had of late been committed to such an enormous extent, that the drawbacks received on plate at the Custom house, notwithstanding the constant vigilance exercised to pre vent fraud, exceeded the receipts of Duty at the Hall. 'The ex portation of gold rings with forged stamps has been carried on to an extent beyond any other articles, and it is in contempla tion to abolish the drawbacks entirely, It is said that more than two-thirds of the exporters are Jews. As the LORD blAvoa was transacting the business of yesterday, a person of remarkable appearance, dressed as a Quaker, covered by a broad beaver, on which he wore a large cockade of red, blue, and white, came into the Office attended by a string of persons whom his strange appearance had attracted. Ile ap proached the Lord Mayor in a respectful manner, and stated that he bad no other business with his Lordship at present than to offer for his acceptance a paper which he held in his hand.— His Lordship, he said with an air of mystery, might read it or not, as he thought proper : a copy of it had been transmitted to Farb Bathurst. He then said his name was Charles Wheatfield Squires, and withdrew without making any other observation. The paper he presented was found to contain a soft of carica ture portrait of himself, with a velocipede, holding a paper, on which was inscribed " The Spirit of Despotism," and several unintelligible inscriptions. This individual is the proprietor of a large farm in the country, which he suddenly left within a few days, and came to town on a velocipede, being seized with a design which, it is given out, will astouish and benefit the na tion when divulged. For three days past he has been moving about the metropolis, and the singularity of a Quaker with a tricoloured cockade excited much curiosity and speculation as to his purpose, with which he declines gratifying any one. Outenowee.-3faty Calder, the Witch of Moorgate, was charged with assaulting Miss Walcot. Miss Walcot resided on the first floor of the same house with the defendant, the floor above being occupied by a labouring man and his wife, named Dale. In consequence of something said by the defendant, Dale gave his wife a thrashing, with a view of averting the spells of Mrs. Calder. The wife, in revenge, suspended a doll dressed up as a witch, with a highacrowned hat, and a pack of cards in her hands. Miss Walcot being in alliance with Mrs. Dale and the offensive spectre, the defendant rushed into the room, fought her way up to the window, and seized the effigy, and it was for this assault that reparation was sought. Mr. Dale, whose dread of the old woman's incantations had given rise to the whole af fair, did not venture to make his appearance against her ; but ridiculous as his apprehensions were, he was by no means the only one who stood in awe of Mrs. Calder, for a young man described her as the terror of the whole neighbourhood. When any one offended her, she would kneel down, even in the open court, and, after muttering some mysterious imprecations, pray in the most fervent manner that their food might not nourish them, nor their trees grow, &c. and every one felt a dread of the possibility of her spells having some effect. Under all the circumstances, the Magistrate dismissed the complaint, and ad judged the defendant to pay costs. Mrs. Calder, who had re mained hitherto silent, then declared she would go to all the prisons in the world before they should get anything out of her. She was then ordered to be detained until she found bail fur the assault. Monday night, a thief slipped into St. Sepulchre's wacth-house, in Cow-cross, and robbed the constable of the night of his watch, while he was taking down the charge against a pickpocket. The activity of the authorities in nutlike in the course of last week, made an old woman speak after sixteen years' silence. She told " dumb fortune s ," and in this way picked up a living by pleasing fe male credulity. She was committed on a Justice of Peace's warrant ; and after '2l hours' fasting and ob stinacy, she was fain to exclaim—" Oh, Maister Wat son, gie me a drink !" Monday se'nnight, a man residing at Kirkintil lock, in navigating a boat through the Canal at Kel vin Dock, unfortunately stepped into a double of the rope to stop the boat's way in approaching the lock ; but from the velocity of the boat, he had his foot com pletely separated from the leg at the ancic joint. He was carried to the Royal Infirmary, where he had his leg amputated below the knee, and is in a fair way of recovery. ExEntmoN.—Saturday last, was executed on the, new drop at Bedford, pursuant to his sentence, Geo. Snowden, for a burglary in the dwelling-house of Mrs. Walker, of the Cock Inn, Eaton-Socon (in whose service he lived upwards of two years, but having be. come addicted to drunkenness, and other vices, was discharged), and taking therefrom plate and money, a silver watch, and Bank -notes, of the value of £7O. After his condemnation, he became very penitent, and wrote several affectionate letters to his fellow prisoners, exhorting them against drunkenness and bad company. A tew minutes before twelve, he was launched into eternity ; amidst numerous spectators. DIED. August 23, John William Buck, Esq.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, .SEPT. 1. H enry sedgwick, an insolvent, was o 'posed ointli!. grounds of malicious injury, and for h tying p ut , Healey, one of the creditors, to great expense in re covering damages obtained in an acii in for an sault. It was proved that the action wa s fi rst com menced in the Palace Court ;it was then remov e d, and a writ of error was brought, whi c h cost the cre: ditor £l6. The insolvent declared, previou s to going to prison, that rather than Mr. Haley should have a farthing of what he owed him, he would lie and rot in jail. This he declared, although Messrs. Par kins and Co. would have settled the matter for him. The insolvent was directed to be imprisoned six months from the date of filing his Petition. Jokn Armitage, a very respectable-looking m a “, was opposed by Counsel on behalf of Lord Hare, wood, and Mr. J. Parker. The insolvent had ear= ried on the business of a butcher in London, at Ifuli ; at Leeds, and other places, and had inc'trred debts to the amount of between £7OO and ES(X). About three weeks before he went to prison, the insolvent bought cattle of the two present opposing crlitorst and the ground of the opposition was, that he had incurred ddats which lie had no visible means of paying. It appeared, however, that the ins o l vent had been in a very large line of business ; that he used to take sometimes £5O a week, and that lie had €750 of debts on his books. Under these circuni. stances the Court ordered his discharge. Marks Minicr, a billiard-table keeper, was op. posed on the ground of defrauding his creditors, by selling his goods just before his failure is business. The case had been adjourned in order that the auc tioneer arid the person who purchased the prop ert y might be brought up and examined. It mu - ap . peared that the goods belonging to the insolvent were sold at an extremely low rate just before lie went to prison, and thus were the creditors defrauded. An instance of sterling honesty was displayed at Edinburgh, on Monday se'nnight. A Lady and Gentleman, who had been out at dinner on the Sun day, sent for a hackney-coach to toke them home. At night the Lady missed a £3 note from her purse; and recollecting that she had taken a piece of money from it to pay a chairman who had gone for the coach, she immediately concluded that the note had been then pulled out, and blown off by the wind. On Monday morning, however, the Lady was waited upon by the coachman, with the missing note, which he had found on the seat of the coach. He was berally rewarded by the Lady. Monday, as a Blackheath and Greenwich stage Was swiftly driving along Parliament-street, the axle. tree broke, in consequence of which the coach com• pletely overturned, and several of the passengers were materially hurt.
