Should miles unnumbered intervene — Or boundless oceans roll between — Still, cherish'd in my heart—thoult be Dearer in grief's extremity— " Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, — Land of the mountain and the fiood,— Land of my Sires ! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That binds me to thy rugged strand!"

COUR7', NOVEMI3ER 28. Two motions of course were made for the Courts grant of letters of administration to next of kin, in cases where the widow and the mother were resident atbroad, due notices having been given upon the pillars of the Royal Exchange. The Court granted ' the prayer, but intimated that in any future instance of intestacy, wherein the widow might be resident is France, or some other part of the Continent, the Court would not hold the mere publication of notice on the Royal Exchange sufficient, but would require to be satisfied that due diligence had been used in conveying such notification to the party so dwelling out of the kingdom. LEITH AND ANOTIIER lIENRI. At the request of Dr. LUSIIINGTON, into whose hands the papers relative to his client's case had been very shortly before deposited, this cause was post poned to the by-day. JENNER, for the information of the Court, stated that this was a cause of interest. Mrs. llenti was usually resident in France; and in the French Courts'a divorce suit was now pending between her and her husband. The application intended to have been submitted on her pare this day, but which Intr.t now be postponed till a future opportunity, was, that the Court would allow her to appear at its bar, either personally or by proxy, and then and there ap point a Proctor to represent her in this cause. The case was then deferred. lIURD V. lIURD AND OTHERS. Dr. JENNEtt said that the deceased in this case, Mr. J. Ilu . rd, of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, died in the month of June last, having left behind him R will in an unfinished state, as now propounded. There were several persons who would have been en titled in distribution to his personal property, in case he had died intestate: They had been cited to ap tear in Court in the regular manner, but no appear ance had been given for them ; and he should there fore pray the Court to decree probate to the will pro pounded, and to admit the present allegation pro-, pounding it. He understood there would be no 0 / 3 7 position offered to the admission of this allegation. Sir JOHN NICIIOLL directed that the allegation might be taken as read. He had carefully perused it. But he could not accede to the prayer of Counsel, notwithstanding the circoinstances of no appearance given, and no opposition offered. Hoar was it pos sible that the Court could pronounce for the validity of the paper in question? It was quite impossible that it should do so, unless upon a sufficient.and very satisfactory statement of facts offered to the Court. The paper concluded in this-abrupt manner—‘ , And lastly, I give and bequeath all the rest, residue, and remainder of . my said personal estate in witness whereof, I have set my hand this —." This was not a case in which the Court would feel justified to pronounce for the validity of the instrument, and it mu,t therefore dismiss the allegation. Dr. JENNER certainly felt unable to contend that this was a valid disposition of property, under any rules of legal proceeding : but the peculiar circum stances of the case had induced him to think that such an application might be made without over stepping the rules of propriety. The COURT pronounced the deceased to have died intestate, according to the tenour of the evidence at present before it. O'DOCHERTY V. CARPENTER. This day the long depending cause respecting the will of the late Lieutenant-Colonel O'Dogherty stood for hearing, when it appearing to the Counsel on each side that the proofs addoced in support of the will being insufficient to sustain its validity, it was ar ranged that, with leave of the Court, a decree should be taken in favour of an intestacy, each party paying his own costs. Upon which the Judge (Sir Jour NICHOLL) was pleased to observe, that it appeared to him the par ties had taken the wisest plan, as he was convinced, from what he had read of the evidence upon the con didit, that the paper could not be supported. That It might also be for the satisfaction of the parties to know, that although he had not read the whole of the other parts of the evidence, he had read the greater part of it, and that he saw nothing to implicate Mr., Carpenter ;in the fraud of obtaining this will—if, in dned, any such fraud were committed, he did not See that he was implicated in it—therefore he thought the party was not to obtain costs as against him. Mr. Carpenter had done nothing more than his duty in submitting the case to the consideration of the Court under the circumstances after they arose, and there fore the parties had come to a quite right understand. in allowing a decree to be pronounced against the wt coda:party pitying kis own cogs. BOARD OF EXCISE. NOVEMBER 28. Mr. George Elphick, a respeitable tailor, residing in Jermyn-street, was charged with having had in his possession a quantity of foreign wines and spirits, which were charged to be smuggled, whereby he had incurred penalties to a large amount. Two officers of the Excise stated, that on the 28th of July last they went to the house of the defendant, ',upon information. On searching it they found two ankers of brandy, in smuggled ankers, with slings. ,They also found some Hollands, in smuggled casks or ankers; '27 bottles of foreign white wine, not French ; 38 of Part, 50 pints of Madeira, a quantity of Burgundy, and some Champagne; for all of which there were no permits. Whilst the witnesses were searching the cellar, which was sumptuously stocked with other liquors, for which there wire per- 1 mits, a child who stood by informed them that there were some more tubs in the yard. They there found some empty smuggled ankers sawn in half. They found a small quantity of rum, which was not per mitted, in addition to the goods enumerated. The defendant, in his defence, said he was in the habit of purchasing his liquors and wines from dif ferent wine-merchants, in such small quantities as did not require permits, and that, in this way, his stock had accumulated ; but although he had re ,ceived permits with some part of his stock, he had not thought it worth while to preserve them. lie had given up the spirits found in the ankers, which he said he had bought of some promiscuous. persons, and who, he had reason to believe, were those who gave information against him. Four respectable wine-merchants were called on behalf of the defendant; and stated that thy were in the habit of supplying him with wines of the descrip tion seized, but they could not speak positively as to their identity. One of them swore to the rum, and another deposed that he believed the Champagne seized to be a part of some which he had sold to Mr. Elphick. Mr. MaYnew, the Solicitor of the Excise, con tended, that the whole of the.goods ought to be con demned, as there was not sufficient proof of their not having been smuggled. The Board, in giving judgment, expressed their regret that persons of respectability should expose themselves to heavy . penalties, aad loss of goods oil which duty .had _been paid , by purchasing of iti. nerantsmugglers, and thereby defrauding the fair trader; who paid rent and taxes on the one hand, and the revenue on the other. They could not but infer that those wines which were not satisfactorily ac counted for were smuggled, as well as the spirits, which were atknowledged to be so: they therefore condemned the claret, the Cape, the Burgundy, the brandy, and the llollands ; but mitigated the re salty to I:10. • The Chantgagne and the rum were ordered to be restored. An old man, named Joseph Merrydeto, was charged with having manufactured candies in an unentered place, whereby he had incurred the penalty of £loo.] Two Excite Officers stated, that on the 13th of August last, they went to the house of the defendant who lives in 131 i xton Causeway, and on searching the premises they found on the first floor a complete candle manufactory, where there were five frames containing 130 pipes in full operation. They ap peared to have been at work in making sperm can dles, as there was a sperm pan at work. They seized the whole apparatus, together with a quantity of candles which were newly manufactured. They saw no one on the premises besides the defendant's wife and daughter. The defendant, in his defence, said that he had let the premises to a man who had paid well for them, without being aware of the danger attending the bu siness which he carried on. The defendant urged that he knew noting of candles himself, but how to burn them; he hail been all his life a Gentleman's coachman, and now subsisted upon a superannuated pension. lie called no witnesses. The Board were inclined to believe that he had been made a tool of by some experienced hand ; but as he had brought no evidence to corroborate hi, statement, they condemned the whole of the goods, and mitigated the penalty to £2O. • POLICE. Bow-STREET. —yesterday 'llamas Ingram, Thomas Caddie ;lon, and Edward Caseman, privates in the Coldstream Guards,were brought up inconsequence °II I the complaint of Mr. Chambers, a salesman living in Broad-street, St. Giles's, who stated that the prisoners had been drunk all the morning, and insulting every person they met in the streets. They were guilty of the most disorderly conduct, and broke two panes of glass in Mr. Chambers's window. He then had them apprehended, and it required four or five constables to take them into custody. One of them, Ingram, struck him two or three times, and also struck one of the constables. No charge appearing against Cad dington, he was discharged. Ingram having pushed Caseman's shoulder against one of the panes of glass, and Caseman having broken the other with his fist, were ordered to pay .ss. 6d. each, the price of the glass, or be imprisoned for fourteen days; and In gram was farther ordered to find bail for the assault. Mr. Chambers stated, that his neighbourhood was greatly annoyed by the numerous soldiers of the Guards, who were constantly drunk from morning to night, and behaving in the most disorderly manner. William Collins was charged with stealing a copper boiler, the propertyof some person unknown. Bolton, a patrol, met the prisoner and another man carrying the boiler, and suspecting from tkeir manner that they bad stolen it, he determined to apprehend them. He first took the prisoner, and gave him in charge at a house; and then pursued the other man, who had run away. Upon overtaking him, however, the fel low turned round and knocked the officer down with an iron crow-bar, cutting him desperately in two paces over the temple. Some persons having pur sued him, he was taken, and handcuffed. Upon being searched, a bag was found in his possession, contain ing a number of housebreaking articles, such as ske leton keys, &c. but dexterously contriving to slip his hand out of the handcuff, he succeeded in effecting his escape. The prisoner said that he knew nothing of the other man, having merely undertaken to carry the boiler for him, when he met him near Cow-lanv, for which he was to have paid him sixpence. He was remanded for farther examination. A young woman named Montinden, charged George riomas with violently issaulting her. The defeVant, she said, bad sworn his life against.hisown wife; not withstanding which, he found his way into Mrs. Mon tinden's house, demanding his wife, and assaulting the complainant. The defendant said, that his wife would be one of the best in theworld, if she were let alone by her relations, of whom the complainant was 'one ; but such was the effect of their society upon her disposition, that she had attempted to cut his throat whilst she thought he was asleep. It was in conse quence of this, that he had sworn against her : bet wishing afterwards to be reconciled with her, he went to the complainant's house, where she was, to bring her home. He Was directed to find bail. FRIENDSHIP, ROBBERY, AND CEDE. CON.—Jere wick Simpson was placed at the bar, charged with being an accomplice in robbing Sampson Holbrook, and also with feloniously receiving the property stolen from the said Sampson. Mr. Sampson Hol brook, who is a tailor, told a long and remarkably incomprehensible story, about gratitude and gold rings, broad ribands, a £lO note, satin spencers, kid shoes, " and caps, and ruffs, and fardingales, and things," all of which, he said, had been stolen from him by Mrs. Simplon, aided and abetted by her hus band, the prisoner. But he ended by declaring he had " no wish to hurt him."—" Then what did you bring him here for ?" asked the Magistrate ; to which Mr. Sampson Holbrook replied, " Only that your Worship might give him a little bit of advice about giving me the things again." The prisoner, Jeremiah Simpson, better known by the melanCholy appella tion of 66 Dismal Jerry," now claimed to be heard, and his speech threw a considerable light on Samp son Holbrook's obscurity. He spoke of having had at one time a warm heart both for love and friend ship, and of his susceptibilities in those matters hav ing been grossly outraged. He had taken unto him self a wife, who was dearer to him than his life ; and a friend whom he valued beyond all things, except his wife. That friend was Sampson Holbrook! In the sincerity Mlles own heart, he had taken Sampson into his. own house as a bosom counsellor, and Samp son had availed himself of this confidence, by crini. ton.ish attacks upon his wife, dazzling her eyes and bewildering her brain by the splendour of his pre sents ; and at length persuaded her to elope with him to a lodging he had provided for her in a dif ferent part of the town. Repentance, however, took possession of the lady, and she returned to her hus band, bringing with her all the presents she had re ceived from Sampson, her seducer. This, doubtless, cut Sampson to the heat t, and in his rage he charged her with stealing the said presents, and her unfortu nate spouse with receiving them. In conclusion, he declared, that though Sampson had thus injured him, he freely forgave him, and had no sort of ob jection to admit him once more as his friend.—The Magistrate observed, that this being the case, be would recommend them to depart in peace.—The seducing Sampson instantly extended the right hand of fellowship; " Dismal Jerry" received it with a .hearty shake, and they departed the Office arm in . arm, to the great amusement of all present. QUEEN SOU Alt E.—Yesterday, Joseph Barker and Jas. Field, alias Silver, were brought lip for re-exami• nation, charged with robbing Mr. Stanleope's house, in Sloane-street, of plate and other valuable property to the amount of several hundred Founds. Our Readers will recollect that we stated on a former oc casion this robbery to have been committed on the evening of last Friday week, and the two prisoners were taken up on suspicion of being concerned therein. It appeared from the evidence, that Field was ob served lurking about the neighbourhood the day the robbery was committed ; and Barker was in the habit of visiting one of the female servants, under the pre tence of paying his addresses to her, whenever the family were absent from home. The officers have not been able to trace any of the property, and the Ma gistrates discharged the prisoners. MA RY-LA• Bo N IC E.—Yesterday, it Gibbards, Edward Evans, and Elizabeth Williams, were exa mined on suspicion of robbing Mr. Thompson, a farmer at Elstree, who was meliby some footpads at the end of West End-lane, about twelve o'clock on Tuesday night, and robbed of two sovereigns and some silver. They first drew his smock-frock-over his head, and then knocked him down with a bludgeon, and beat him till he became insensible.. Staples, an officer, healing of the robbery, enquired into the cir cumstances, and learned- that Tnompson had been drinking at the Bell, at Kilburn, till near 12 o'clock; that the prisoners were time, and had left the house when Thompson did ; and that Gibbards assisted in leading him to the Red Lion, after the affair. On meeting with, and questioning Gibbards, he hehaved with great violence, denied that he had ever seen Thompson, and declared he would not be taken.— Ellis, the Bow-street patrol, however, coming up, he was secured with some difficulty. On the road to town they accidentally met the other male prisoner ; the female was taken by a parish constable. Mr. Thompson was unable to attend, and on the prisoners being asked what they had to say ? Gibbards stated that he was innocent of the robbery. He WAS coming past the end of West End-lane about half-past five o'clock in the morning on horseback, and saw a man lying in the ditch, bleeding from his head, and that he pulled him out and took him to the public-house, and after that he went by the spot, and there found a stick and handkerchief, which he brought back to the house where the man lay ; and that was all he 'knew about it. Evans endeavoured to prove an alibi, by stating that he was in the City with a man named Humphries, at the time of the robbery. The female prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery, but admitted having-been drinking with the prisoners at the Bell public-house, at the time Mr. Thompson was there. The Magistrates remanded the prisoners for further and herexa i m iu i m na p t hr examination, in with whomnorder that Evans said h theland ia lord ofe wasthe in the City, might attend. Tuesday, Mi e ,SHARPI, of the Bridge-street Asso ciation, tendered another bill to the Middlesex Grand Inquest against the Proprietor of the News, which shared the same fate as its predecessors—it was thrown out. The bill was founded on comments on former bills, inserted in the News of the 28th of last October ; the same alleged libel for which Mr. SHARPE, the other day, wished to hold Mr. PRIPPS to bail at Bow street. 'Ili: makes the seventh unsuccessful attempt which Mr. SHARPE and his Company have made against Mr. PHIPPS, all grounded oft t h e i nsert i on o f - - - r.

Tuesday sennight, the long-expected combat betweea tl eet celebrated professors of the pugilistic art, Reynolds and took place about half way between Cork and Mallow.
