While Foes must honour, and while Friends must mourn, The pen of Sorrow now inscribes thy urn ; The Lines, tho' feeble, free from Faction's dress, May tell thy virtues, and my griefs express. When Honour - mill, thy soul no perils fear 'd, In ev'ry clime thy dauntless spirit dar'd ; Europe's rich plains, with Afric 's arid soil, And Asia's sandy deserts, knew thy toil — Where India's shores the sacred Ganges laves, And where gigantic Plata rolls its waves ! From.courtly scenes thy pleasures never ilow'd— A Soldier bred, the field thy merits shew'd; Rough in exterior, gentle in thy heart, Thy outside ill bespoke thy better part ; Honour and courage, well combin'd, were thine; On thee the gloss of manners ne'er did shine! Thy sterling metal, free from base alloy, Disdain'd unmeaning tinsel to employ— Useless pursuits!—the shadows of the vain Were shunn'd by thee for Talavera's plain, !iere, whilst triumphant British valour shone, Thy heart brat high in Glory's-cause alone !

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4. RA3trt Anderson was tried for an assault which he committed on Joseph Barton, in the month of Octo ber last. Mr. GURNEY, the Counsel for the plaintiff in this I important case, observed that he had to solicit the very serious attention of the Court and Jury to the extraordinary circumstances it became his duty to unfold. The defendant, he said, carried on the ho nourable " profes 4 sion" of an "old iron vender," in Green's-Court, Pultney-street, Golden-square, but unfortunately for himself, was a man of a most quar relsome disposition. The plaintiff, on the contrary, who was a " sweep" of considerable celebrity, corn. bined in his person all the advantages of politeness and perfect good humour, and was esteemed by all his honest neighbours as a hard-working uneffending , tradesman. To his misfortune, however, his back door opened into Green's -court, nearly opposite the defendant's house, and to this circumstance :night be I , attributed the rise and progress of the case on which'. the Court had that day to decide. On the day when the assault which formed the ground of the prosecu tion was committed, some paviors had been repairing the pavement of Green's-court, and after having completed their task, they swept their rubbish against the back-door of Mr. Barton, whose wife shortly after discovered the fact, and like a good housewife began to sweep it away. While in this act, however, the defendant made his appearance, and after using lan guage extremely unbecoming, a man of his preten sions to respectability, he prepared to return the dirt to its original situation. The amiable Mrs. Barton instantly went in search of her husband, to whom she recited the conduct of the defendant. Mr. Bar ton then came forth, and with his usual suavity of manners endeavoured to complete the job his wife had commenced. In this a.tempr, however, although an " excellent sweep," he was foiled by the defendant, who having purchased a new broom for the'occasion, swept back the dirt to its former situation as fast as the plaintiff pushed it forward, using during the operation all those tropes and figures of eloquence which his acquaintance with the Belles Lettres enabled him to quote. These addresses fortunately did not affect the plaintiff, who being deficient in one of the senses, namely that of "hearing," was Jaf to all the ar j guments which were urged against him. Th mildness of the plaintiff only raised the choler of the defendant, who now arrived at a pitch of fury : not content with sweeping the court, with one blow of his broom nearly swept off the head of the plain tiff, whose instant prostration evinced the humility of his disposition. The approach of some of the inha bitants of the neighbourhood caused a cessation of hostilities, and the heroes of the tale retired to their respective castles—the plaintiff to reflect on the in dignity with which he had been treated, with a cool. ness that became a man of sense, and the defendant to brood over some new means of gratifying his re venge. Well had it been for him, had he followed the good example of his neighbour ; but no, his high spirit was not to be appeased by ordinary means he prized himself on his rank in life, on the respectabi lity of his trade, on the thickness of his blood, and above all, on his high sense of honour and gentle manly feelings. These were indeed considerations of weight, and such as would lead any man forward 1 in the paths of glory. So it was with the defendant, his pride had been wounded, he had been publicly and grossly insulted, and satisfaction he must have, not by having recourse to . the vulgar and degrading practice c) e f a pugilistic contest; no, this would be sinking from the pinnacle of his dignity ; it must be ei rt arms p a gentleman, and according to the fa shionable rules of honourable disputes. Having once come to this resolution. he lost no time in signifying his fell intent to the plaintiff, to whom he sent a let ter, exhibiting the most convincing proofs of his mar tial, spirit and manly courage, as well as evii)cing a delicacy in epistolary correspondence, a politeness of - diction, and a firmness of style, seldom witnessed in our modern schools of refinement in literature. This letter the Learned Counsel, with the permission of the CIIAIRMAN, then read, for.the edification of the Court. It was as follows : 'T• M. SAITO?. 66 Oreen's•court. cemelpense of to 111-tntatawat I have received from Toler site, I alb detatetlied to gilt al a gehtlemas. Ye* delernseetascal, are my ill rt•rkirgr to be daubed .by such dig helical *retches as you and your &nerd a wife ; or is my pre cious body td be mailed sheet at the teeny of two such per sons f-v-No !

(Signed) 4 ' Rooltar Amaze:on." Such, observed Mr. Gurney, was the precious mor ccau which the hopeful defendant thought proper to send 4o the plaintiff. The plaintiff, however, being of opinion that a living dog is better thar. a dead lion," very prudently declined the invitation, and, as was most expedient, citose-the safer course of apply ing to the laws of his country for redress, which he, (Mr. Gurney) had no doubt the Court would grant with great readiness. Before he sat down, he took an opportunity of congratulating the defendant that 'he was not indicted for sending a challenge, the con sequences of which would have been still more severe than any thing he had to expect from the charge now exhibited against him. The plaintiff was then called and examined. By his testimony the statement of Mr. Gurney was fully supported, as it was by the evidence of other witnesses. Mr. ALLEY, Counsel for the defendant, then re marked, that he had looked at the brief of his client in every possible way, but really could not deduce from it any thing in justification of the assault in question. The charge was eviJently of a trifling nature, and he had no doubt the Court, in taking all the facts into consideration, would not _inflict a se vere punishment. The CIIA lILMAN having summed up the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the defen dant was sentenced to pay a fine of 510. Richard Fonswick was tried on an indictment, charging him with assaulting Thomas Fimtum, at the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, a short time since. It appeared that 'the plaintiff and defendant be longed to the 'Tower Hamlets Charitable Society, of which the defendant was a Steward, and that the as sault in question was committed on a day when the members of the society had an anniversary dinner at the Mermaid, on which occasion, in consequence of some trifling dispute, the defendant struck the plain tiff with a glass bottle on the head, and billeted a dangerous wound. The facts being clearly proved, the Court sentenced the offender to pay a fine of RI O. o ma: Ashley Was tried on an indictment charging him with having committed vs most violent assault on a person named Luke Severn, in the month of Octo ber 1 Ist. It appeared from the testimony of the plaintiff, that as be was returning towards town in a one-horse chaise, he passed through Kingsland turnpike, at which he paid the usual toll, which entitled him to pass through the next gate free of expellee. On his arrival at Stone's End, however, the person who kept the gate, and who was merely placed there as a tem porary keeper during the absence of the man appoin ted by the Trust, demanded sixpence, which was three-halfpence more than the legal ,toll, surposing the plaintiff had not paid at the former gate. The pla:miff represented to him that he had already paid, but he was told it did not signify, hg. must pay again. Finding it was useless to altercate, he complied with the demand, but determining to bring the fellow to an account for his imposition, he got out of his chaise in order to obtain the name of the keeper, which he supposed was hung tip as usual. At the moment of his alighting, the defendant, who was the patrole ap pointed to watch the road, by the Trustees, came up, and accosted the plaintiff with much insolence, in veighing with great warmth against his attempt to impose, as he termed it, upon the gate-keeper. The plaintiff irritated, with great reason, at the imperti nent interference of this man, asked him his name, in order that he might include him also in the complaint he felt it his duty to prefer before the Trustees. But to this he received no other return than abusivelan guage, which was followed by the defendant's draw mg his sword and cutting at him three times with great fury. He endeavoured, as well as he could, to evade this unwarrantable attack, and fortunately es caped without any further injury than having his hat nearly severed in two pieces. Some persons coming up prevented further mischief, and the plaintiff pur sued his course, and on the next day with great pro priety preferred the present indictment. 'l 4 lte tempo rary gate-keeper, by absconding, escaped the punish ment which his knavery would haie certainly drawn on his head. Several witnesses corroborated this statement. On the part of OIL defendant, k was urged that the plaintiff endeavoured to seize his horse's bridle, which being a spirited ani:nal,. induced th e 'd e f en d ant from the fear of injury to draw his sword in his own defence —but this assertion was unsupported by any sat6fac tory testimony. The Jury without hesitation returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Chairman, after a suitable reprimand, sentenced defendant to one moqth's imprisonment, which punishment has been preceded by his dismissal from his employment. Richard font; was put to the bai to be tried on an indictment which charged him with acting in concert with 20 other persons, in a riotous and disorderly manner, on the evening of the 25th of October last, by throwing squib;, breaking windows, and other alarming outrages. _ _ _ Our keaders — may probably recollect that the de. fcndant was one of the four persons who were appre hended by the activity of Mr. Bray, linen-draper, of Bond -street, together with Taunton and other Bow street Officers, on the late Jubilfte night, two of whom have'already been tried and convicted. Upon inquiry, however, as it appeared that the defendant had but very lately arrived in London, and was accidentally drawn into th e c omm i ss i on o f the offence with which he stood charged, it was agreed by the Counsel for the prosecution, at the intercession of Mr. GURNEY, Counsel for the defendant, that the prisoner should plead Guilty, and enter into recog nizarces to come forward and receive the judgment of the Court, whenever he , should be called on, upon condition that, for the present, he should be dis charged. Mr. MAINWARING observed, that the offence to which the defendant had pleaded guilty, was one that cried loudly for punishment, and ought to be put a stop to by some severe examples ; as the lower order of people seemed to have imbibed the d-ingerous opi nion, that they had a right to break windows, and breed riots of a similar nature, with impunity. The case Was o such magnitude that the Cwt,. barely the power to pass it ove r w i t h out the toil vere visitation ; but as the C ounse l on b i t h • seemed to agree on the inexperience of th e ,k.f and in consideration of his general good clia the Court would for the present suspend its meat, in the confident hope, that the exAm p i e J of the two persons who acted i n conjinictiun wit-!1; defendant, would operate as a wholesome w,py ia " 4 deter others from the commission o f a 1,4 o ft elc r e 1 . , future. u 1. The defendant Was then discl;;.irged, into recognizances for his Itgure iipp Qra ... c ,,, quired: REVENUE LAUSES. At the Exchequer Sittings on Mend ..e, tw_ Cap of very general interest came on ; the on ( the smuggling of tea from China ea guyed r .,„ ships.—tae other respectin g the coliectien 4L,,' In the former the Souctron the practice of smuggling teas on si:o re East le.dia slips on their pa ssage up the chan,,,;•,.. i river, had bee n found to p reva il ta , that as the duty was about 90 p er cent. :Le t..nat,t,,,i; to this practice was very stron g ; that it ataasa. therefore to guard the more vigilantly ag.:inst it, 'nit the law, in cases where it a pp eared :0 hare t penalty £2OO, had subjected the C a p ta i n to a , £2OO, and that the only w a y o f di scovery, W. comparing the manifest of what h a d b een taken boatel at China, with the quantity regul.aly delisz r: in this country. In the present instance, he v , erer he was not disposed to proceed with rigour, the d e : ciency having been very small indeed, only ro ot d o ,. out of nearly 18 thousand, Ile besides under that the Defendant, a Captain of :in Last India, was a gentleman of excellent character ; that was his first voyage as Captain ; that it Ser i such a small deficiency might less or:in.al..l in tr:, take, or have been without the knowledge of th.: tain, and from what he had heard laf hint not believe that he would have sworn to the ca-e; ness of his accounts, knowing therevers.s, A : same time, it was important it should be ur.der,....e , that be the deficiency large or small, the Capa;r were liable to the penalty. A compromise was o's agreed to on both sides. In the latter c.. the Sotaerton-Grgtaat, ' that this was an information against one Warding, a Collector of Taxes, fur charging poor farmers of Norfolk, with more than the :urns a i which they had been rated. He mentioned seme the rates, which were but small, nencrally 2boat C or £3, upon which the Defendaat !lad Laid an ad Vance of near .C 1 e...ch, putting excess in his pocket. The Jury, he hoped, would thetk this p cution properly instituted, for as it was the duty GI G. vernment to take care that the Revenue was prore! collected, so it was no less its duty to prevent mit' positions by its agents in the coi:ection. These bi • men, it appear: al, Laving confidence in the Col. . had paid his demands without examination, and t, imposition, con sideri ag that the defendant had pocke ed the excess, could hardly be regarded in faint of minality as less than an actual robbery. To his v great surprize, however, he was informed that t Collector was a most respect a bl e man -- a su b stan . farmer, and very much esteemed in his neighbourii... and that he had even occasionally assisted the sm farmers round about with loans to enable them t meet the Government demands. Here, then, ha. this foolish, and he must say, wicked man, forfc:..e so valuable a character, and lost his situation foram. a trifling consideration. He had been applied to in favour, but his sense of public duty compelled Fano bring the matter forward. When a verdict should given for the Crown, it wo u ld t h en b e t i me en o ug h t. consider bow far the circ u m s t ances mi g ht warrant mitigation of the penalty. A verdict was *aimed; tately entered for the Crown. NIARRIAGES, AND DEA' liS IN INDIA. MADRAS, JUNE 19. BIRT ll.—At Goa, May 27, the Lady of J. Irving, Esq. Mi tans-Surgeon, of a daughter.
