") There is a certain class of poets, not a very numerous one, whom I would call poetical old bachelors. They are such as enjoy a certain de--. gree of fame and popularity themselves, without sharing their celebrity with any fair piece of ex cellence, but walk each on his solitary path to glory, wearing their lonely honours wi th more dignity than grace ; for instance, Corneille, vine, Boileau, the classical names of French poetry, were all poetical old bachelors. Racine, le tendre Racine, as he is called, par excellence, is said never to have been in love in his life ; nor has he left us a single verse in which any of his personal feelings can be traced. He was, however, the kind and faithful husband of a cold, bigotted woman, who was persuaded and at length persuaded him, that he would be grille in the other world, for writing heathen tragedies in this ; and made it her boast that she had never read a single line of her husband's works !

Disgusted with such recreant prudence or calmness of temperament in a husband so vitally injured, with such bare-faced effrontery in the guilty trampler upon hospitality, and shocked at the scandalous immodesty and criminality of his sister, Sir seized Mr. C---- by the arm, and, ushering him into the hall, called him an " infamous scoundrel," and then agreed to escort him safely out of town, on condition that he (Mr. C.) would appoint his time and place for fighting a duel with him (the Baronet). — Mr. C— pledged his honour to be punctual in his attendance at a certain hour and place, and the parties separated.

Colonel CLITHEROE produced a table of the fees payable to the Clerk of the Peace, and asked whe ther that contained all the fees that were demanded. Mr. RICHARDS said that there'were others which had been created by Acts of Parliament passed since that table was printed. Colonel CL/TIIEROE wished to have a full table exhibited conspicuously in the Court, so that every poor person might know what he had to pay. Mr. BEAUMONT recommended as a previous step that a general revision of the fees should take place. In 1815 they had, in a full Court, declared that the taking of fees from persons acquitted was " a prac tice repugnant to reason and subversive to justice." He thought it was high time they began to act on their own resolution. sperity of the Bank and in the general welfare of the country, could rest any longer satisfied with the state of ignorance in which it was attempted to keep them. Publicity was given in Paris, in America, and elsewhere, to the proceedings and accounts of the national banks : in the Bank of England alone was concealment practised. He did not mean to state that it was practised from any unworthy mo tive, far from it. He had as much confidence in the Chairman, whom he had had the pleasure of know ing for many years, as he had in any man alive. He did not distrust the present Court of Directors; but if the Court of Directors should persist in always enveloping in secrecy the administration of the af fairs of the Bank, what, he might be permitted to ask, might not there conduct ultimately be ? He should therefore move, that his resolutions of last March should be submitted to the Court of Di rectors, in order that they might hereafter report upon them as they might think fit. As he did not wish to weary the Court unnecessarily, he would only read the first resolution at present. It was to the following effect : " That it be referred to the Court of Directors to report to the next half-yearly General Court of Proprietors, on the expediency of laying before all future General Courts of Proprietors, previous to the recommen.httion of any dividend, an account of the total amount of all outstanding demands on the Bank, and its several Branch Banks, and of the funds applicable to the discharge of such demands respectively." And 0, let her by whom the muse was scorned, Alive nor dead, be of the muse adorned ! Our own Gray was in every sense, real and political, a cold, fastidious, old bachelor, who buried himself in the recesses of his college ; at once shy and proud, sensitive and selfish. I cannot, on looking through his memoirs, letters, and poems, discover the slightest trace of pas sion, or one proof or even indication that he was under the influence of woman. He loved his mother, and was dutiful to two tiresome old aunts, who thought poetry one of the seven deadly sins—et voila tout. .He spent his - life iii amassing an inconceivable quantity of know ledge, which lay as buried and useless as miser's treasure ; but with this difference that, when the miser dies, his wealth flows forth into its natural channels, and enriching others ; Gray's learning was entombed with him ; his genius survives in his elegy and his odes ; what become of his heart I know not. He is gene rally supposed to have possessed one, though none can guess what he did with it ; he might well moranse on his bachelorship, and, call him self a solitary fly, Thy joys no glittering female meets, No hive bast thou of hoarded sweets, No painted plumage to display ! Collins was never a lover, and never married. His odes, with all their exquisite fancy and splendid imagery, have not much interest in their subjects, and no pathos derived from feeling or passion. He is reported to have been once in love, and, as the lady was a day older than him self, he used to say jestingly that " he came into the world a day afier the fair." He was not deeply smitten, and, though he led in his early years a dissipated life, his heart never seems to have been really touched. He wrote . an Od e on Mr. Serjeant PELL said the necessity of a revi sion of the table was fully proved by a note ap pended at its foot as follows :—" There are several ancient fees set down in the above table, which, although strictly legal, are not now-required to be paid, the duties seldom being required, or having bee,onae obsolete." . After some further discussion, it was agreed that the clerk of the peace should be required to lay be fore the Court, on its next day of meeting, a table of all the fees demanded by the various officers of the Court. l AD „ -`'`llE AN D ISLE OF THANET NEW STEAM PACKET COMPANY. ;THE COMMITTEE appointed by the GENERAL MEETING, held on the 19th ult., t „'ir it more advantageous to postpone the intended EAL MEETING, from MONDAY the 21st, to D AY the 12th OcTosyst. - • DANIEL JARVIS, Chairman. li ar -- gate, liith Sept. 1829. MEETING OF THE MIDDLESEX MAGIS- TRATES. Yesterday .the Magistrates of Middlesex met in their Sessions•house, Clerkenwell, for the discussion of various matters connected with the county ex penditure; but the interest of which became com pletely merged in an important inquiry which inci dentally arose from certain statements that have lately appeared in the daily papers, relative to the inconveniences to which persons attending to prefer bills of indictment are subjected, the extortions practised upon witnesses by persons who buy up the orders issued on the county-rate for their expenses, and certain abuses alleged to exist in the office of the Clerk of the Peace. rtERRING'S PATENT LIGHT BEA rVER HATS, at 21s. t o 26 5 . we i g hi ng only 5 i es,are the best eve r o ff ere d to public notice ; for f ility and brightness they are unequalled ; they are ( 'more than half the weight of the common made hat, „ i l l Will wear equally as l ong .

Mr. FLOWER said such a measure was necessary for the protection of their officers, who had been grossly attacked at the Mansion-house, for a sup posed injustice in taking a fee of a guinea from a man. Colonel CLIPIIEROE said, as the case had been mentioned, he should feel obliged to Mr. Allen (the son of the late Deputy Clerk of the Peace) if he would point out the guinea fee on the table. . . He hoped that by the adoption of this resolution the question of want of information would be put to rest for ever, and that upon all future occasions the Pro prietors would meet the Directors in that room with that cordiality and confidence which was so essen tially necessary to the interests of the Company. With these observations he should leave it to the Proprietors to decide whether they would rest any longer in blind confidence on the Court of Directors. • HAMELS, HERTS.

L i k e , E sq ., N o . 8, N ew - square , Lin \ 8 Inn. Mr. Serjeant PELL introduced the subject, by calling the attention of the Court to a statement which appeared in a newspaper he then held in his hand, as to a most grievous abuse in the mode in which witnesses who attended the Old Bailey to assist in the execution of public justice, were paid for their compulsory and arduous services. He knew nothing personally on the subject, but if the statements were true, the abuse was a most monstrous one, and demanded the immediate at tention of the Court. It appeared that after attend ing the Old Bailey, and performing all there required of him, the witness received an order upon the County Treasurer for his expenses, which he had to take down to the Treasurer's office, at Clerkenwell, and where, of course, he expected to be immediately paid ; but if he arrived there after a certain hour in the afternoon, the case was not so, for he found the door closed, and he must either attend the next day, at perhaps great inconvenience, or be content to accept what some adventurer outside might be pleased to give him for the order. Thus (to state a nominal case) a party having obtained his order (say for 10s.), brings it to Clerkenwell, and finds the office closed; but on the outside he is accosted by a man, who says " Sell me your order, and I'll give you ss. for it." The man has got 10 or 15 miles to go : he is poor, and wants the money; or it is inconvenient for him to attend the next day ; therefore he consents; and thus this humane gen tleman, who proffers his services, puts in his pocket 55., merely for the inconvenience of paying ss. one evening to receive 10s. the next morning. This system was a great hardship upon the witnesses, and required revision, and that speedily. He thought the press had acted most properly in bringing this gross abuse before the public notice, and he was sure that the Court need only be informed of its existence, to at once take measures for its removal. The CHAIRMAN did not see that that Court had any occasion to interfere. If the practice were in convenient, it was for the persons at the Old Bailey to apply to have it altered. He knew that the practice prevailed, and so it did at the Accountant- General's office, where, if persons did not arrive within the right hours of business, they had either to call again or sell their orders at a discount. He be lieved one Session a person had produced and re ceived payment for from 600/. to 700/. worth of these orders from the County Treasurer. If an inquiry were to be made, Mr. Richards, who was a clerk in the office, had better be sent for. Mr. ALLEN said it consisted of various fees added together. Colonel CLITIIEROE—Then I should say it was a complete hotch-potch of a table. Mr. ALLEN—SO it is to those not professionally acquainted with its nature. Colonel CLITHEROE—Then it is high time it was revised for the benefit of the public. Mr. ALLEN shortly after gave the following as the fees making the guinea alluded to, viz.:— Respiting the recognizance £0 9 8 Additional, it being for felony 0 2 4 Issuing of estreat Letter of notice 0 2 0 Final order of the session Though they were not read yesterday to the Court, we subjoin, for the better understanding of the great question, the remainder of Mr. F.

Such was Collins' idea of love. The CHAIRMAN expressed his entire ignorance of the case above alluded to, and desired to be informed of its nature. Mr. ALLEN said it was a case which occurred in his father's life-time; but still great prejudice had arisen to him through it. A recognizance had been returned to the sessions for a person to appear at the Old Bailey, and prosecute a woman, named Knowler. On searching the office papers, it appeared that he had not performed his recognizance, and an estreat, as a matter of course, was issued against him. On his being taken into custody, and explaining that the indictment was found against the woman in the name of " Nowles," and that he prosecuted her in that name, lie was discharged. Mr. BYNG—I think you told me, when I called on you, it was a mistake, and arose from the mis• spelling of a name. Mr. ALLEN—Not a mistake of mine. I never did, nor never will, admit I made any mistake in the business. The man received two letters previous to the estreat being issued, and if he had on receipt of either of them come forward and given an expla nation, the error would at once have been rectified. It was his own fault in preferring his indictment in a different name to that which appeared in the recog nizance.

Mr. ALLEN—No, it has not. Mr. BYNG—I should have thought you would have at once put your hand in your pocket and given him back not only the guinea, but something beside as a compensation for the inconvenience he had sustained. Mr. ALLEN—SO I would, if he had not made such a noise about it in the newspapers. If he had come to me even after his discharge, instead of going to the Lord Mayor, I would have given him the money; but after the course he took, I could not but feel that the return of the money would have been construed into an admission that I had acted illegally, and that I never will allow. A general conversation ensued. It was fully ad mitted that Mr. Allen had acted with perfect legality, and that the mistake was one which it was impos sible to have guarded against ; bnt at the same time several gentlemen expressed their regret that the guinea had not been returned. Sir John Gibbon► and Mr. Broughton considered the man had brought the evil on himself, by not attending and explaining when the two notices were served upon him.—The Court did not rise till a late hour. Mr. RiehardF, having arrived, in answer to the questions of Mr. Serjeant PELL, stated, that the treasurer's office was open usually from eleven o'clock till three, but thatduring the session time he was in clined to think it was kept open till that Court rose —that is, till half past four o'clock.

About eight months ago, Miss o—, a daughter of one of the most ancient and respect able families in Connaught, happened to be in troduced to Mr. —, a young gentleman who resided at the time in the neighbourhood of Mountjoy-square, Dublin. He was youthful, gay, and rather handsome. She was blooming, fair, and fashionable, and possessed withal a very excellent child's portion. They were both wearied of the ennui sometimes attendant upon single blessedness, and anxious to exchange the monotony and satiety of single liberty for the silken meshes of matrimony ; they breathed " love reciprocal" into each other's ears. Kin dred spirits, they determined upon a close union, and consequently the holy noose was tied with all due ceremony.. Having lolled and lan guished out the " honey-mook among the Wicklow glens," the happy pair returned to Dublin, where they continued to sip sweet plea sure until the charming month of May, when it was found convenient to adjourn beyond the Shannon. In fact, the husband, who had run a merry round before marriage, was tormented for small demands, by those rascally fellows called " creditors," and to avoid being " borrowed" for a little time, he resolved to sojourn for a few months amongst the hospitable wilds of Con naught, whose aboriginal 'squires have a pro verbial antipathy to be encumbered with those vile things called " receipts." It was while breathing the pure mountain atmosphere of Ty rawley, or maiming the bitterns of Ballycroy, that Sir —, the lady's brother, invited Mr. C— to spend a month with him at his cheer ful mansion, N-- House, where Mr. and Mrs. were also staying at the time.— The invitation was, as may be imagined, accepted, and accordingly the young Baronet and his friend (Mr. C-- was then considered to be one) set off from the capital for their summer quarters. Mr. C— was and is, for he is still, in terra viventium, young—about 19 (just three years beyond the Don Juan age) ; and he was also whiskered and mustachioed from ear to eye, and from chin to nose. He was, moreover, tall, " e'en beyond his age ;" straight and sinewy, a good shot, dashing horse man, and divine dancer. Such prowess and qualifications were, no doubt, extremely prepos sessing ; and in this instance they were, unfortu nately, too bewitching. The heart of Mrs. was too soft, too " susceptible," to endure along siege—the fortress was stormed, and taken by a coup de main. It was necessary, however, to remove the unconscious husband out of the way. How was this to be done ? " Necessity is the mother of invention"—aye, and " love laughs at locksmiths." So thought Mrs. —, and she verified the adages. A lucky expedient was hit upon. We have already mentioned that Mr. was a little annoyed by " duns." His " loving wife," as she used to subscribe herself, hinted something about the sudden arrival of a " Bum Baily." Verbunz sat.—Mr. —, taking his dog and his gun, ascended his car ; and speeding his way into the gamey fastnesses of Errismore, left his beloved Weeping at the door, and the young Lothario trying all his blandishing arts to soothe her bursting heart. After wiping away the pearlous distilment, Mrs. retired to her boudoir, where she endeavoured to re concile herself, like Donna Julia, to her fate, in the all-reviving presence of our bearded Juan. After a two days' residence in Elysium, Mr. returned unexpectedly, and all was black Tartarus again. The evening was wet, the journey long and rugged, and more than ordi nary precautions against cold were requisite. A hot-bath, and wine-whey, just before going to bed, were not only the best antidote against fatigue and perhaps pleurisy, but they were also an admirable soporific. Mr. accordingly partook of both, and so powerful were the effects of the whey that be actually walked into a chamber not his own, where he flung himself upon the out side of a becloud slept soundly until the cock, the grand infallible chronometer in Connaught, crowed twice. Awakened by the noise, or perhaps by the cold, or no matter what, Mr. arose half-shivering, half-confounded, and walked off, after recollecting himself, to his own apartment, where, to his unutterable surprise, he found lying in his bed—his wife ?—no ; but her brother's maid servant ! He asked where his rib was, and was told in reply that she (the maid) would go for her. The evil one, who delights in crosses, at this moment suggested the propriety of pursuing a different course. Accord ingly Mr.-- walked out of the room, the door of which he locked, leaving the maid to her slum bers, and in an instant he found himself in Mr. C—'s bed-room. There, to his horror in describable, lie discovered his wife and Mr. C— in bed, and sleeping as tranquilly as if nothing were amiss. Collecting all his wits about him, the injured but philosophic husband stole gently out of the room, awoke the servants, and introduced them altogether into that scene which disclosed his wife's disgrace and his own dishonour. Then, lest any temptation might come upon him, he deliberately took down and unloaded his gun and pistols, and finally retired to his chamber, and resigned himself quietly to the arms of Morpheus. Next morning a mes senger was despatched to the assize town (where Sir was attending the Grand Jury, of which he was a member), with a note announc ing the dreadful tidings. Sir lost no time in ordering his carriage, and taking a friend with him, he set out for his residence, and had gained the mid-way, when he met a second messenger with a second note from the brother-in-law, re questing he (the Baronet) would bring along with bun some powder and shot, not balls, but plain snipe shot, for the mountains. Sir at first thought this must be a hoax, and said he would return, but, upon second thought, he ordered the postillion to pursue his course. Having arrived at his hail-door, and stepp:d into the parlour, to his utter astonishment he saw the husband stand ing at one window, the Lothario at another, and the lady carelessly r coding l3eppo" at the The - CHAIRmAN thought the hour of five would be late enough for keeping the office open. Mr. Scrj. PELL considered that as it was admitted a wholesale traffic was going on in these tickets, they had better direct the treasurer to pay the money to no other person than the one in whose favour the order was given. The CHAIRMAN said that would be impossible, as the orders were made payalde to bearer on sight. A desultory conversation ensued, in the course of which Sir R. Baker, the county treasurer, arrived. The CHAIRMAN immediately informed him of the nature of the discussion, and of its being the opinion of many gemlemen, that it would be a convenience to the witnesses obliged to attend the Old Bailey, if his office were kept open during the session till five o'clock in the evening. Sir R. BAKER—I have no objection if the Court thinks it would be convenient, but I don't think myself it would prove so. CHAIRMAN—A paragraph has appeared in the newspapers, stating that persons are making a liveli hood by buying the orders issued to witnesses. Sir R. BAKER—I know there are persons at the Old Bailey, who advance money on these orders, but what they give for them I don't know. I think the practice a convenience to persons living in the coun try, as it enables them to return by the evening coach, and thus avoid the expense of an additional night's residence in town. It was well worth a person's while in such a case to pay Is. in the pound. Mr. FLOWER-But the newspapers say they charge one half for the accommodation. Sir R. BAKER—Oh, I know nothing of that. It was finally understood the wish of the Court was to be compled with. General TRoRNTON begged to call the attention of the Court to another abuse,—namely, the diffi culty which witnesses experienced to get access to the Grand Jury-room. Females were pushed about by the crowd in a most scandalous manner; and a gentleman who had been obliged to prosecute in consequence of having his pocket picked, bad de clared to him, that sooner than attend to prosecute, and be hustled about again in the manner he then was, he would forfeit his recogr►izances. Public justice was impeded by these difficulties, and it was the duty of the Court to interfere. Mr. ORME believed the committee, who were then sitting on the motion of Sir P. Laurie for faci litating the criminal business of the county, intended to suggest a remedy for the evil complained of. He believed it would be proposed to the Court to divide and classify the business the Grand Jury had to get through, and to allot a certain quantity for each day. On the motion of Mr. Serjeant PELL, seconded. by Sir R. BIRNIE, it was resolved that the high constable do attend every day of the Court's Sitting, THE BANK MEETING. The following is a fuller report of Mr. Young's motion of amendment than given in our Paper of yesterday : The CHAIRMAN having put the question that this Court do adjourn, . Mr. FLORANCE YOUNG immediately rose to move an amendment. lie said that it was a matter infinitely too serious to be passed over without ob servation, that they should come into that Court time after time without being able to extract the slightest information as to their affairs 'from the Court of Directors. Some evil, he was afraid, IN ould arise out of it; and in order to avert it, if possible, he would again move the string of resolutions which be bad moved in March last. The nature of those resolutions could not have been understood; for if it had, they would not, he was sure, have been ne gatived. They only went to submit to the Court of Directors the consideration of a plan, which was in tenJed to put an end to the unpleasantness which sometimes intruded itself into their Meetings. Ile wished to have that string of resolutions submitted to the consideration of the Court of Directors, either as a whole or a part. It would then be for the Di rectors to report to the Proprietors whether they were calculated to injure the interests of the Com pany, or whether they could not be conformed to, either wholly or in part. With that consideration on the part of the Court of Directors every body would be satisfied. It was, however, quite im possible to suppose that they could go on from one half yearly meeting to another perpetually asking questions and perpetually refused answers. As they were flying directly in the face of their Char ter and their bye-laws, and as they were running the risk of rendering their declared dividends illegal, he did hope that the Court of Proprietors would allow the resolutions which he had formerly moved to be submitted to the Court of Directors, in order that they might report upon them against the next General Court. If the Court of Directors could satisfy the Proprietors that no spelt information as that which be asked for could be properly given, and if they could satisfy their constituents that it was right and expedient for them to separate with outany information at all, he of course had obtainingnothing rn ore to do than to submit to their de cision. He thought it, however, impossible that re spectable men, interested as they were in the pro- LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Sept. 15.

The Delia, who is intro duced into his elegies, and the Phillis of hi- • .•. toral ballad, was Charlotte Gravei, - sister to t :e Graves who wrote the Spiritual Quixotte. There was nothing warm or earnest in his admiration, and all his gallantry is as vapid as his character. He never gave the lady, who was supposed and supposed herself to be the object of his serious pursuit, an opportunity of accepting or rejectiirg him, and his conduct has been blamed as am biguous and unmanly. His querulous dr.:clama-. tions against women in general ha.d neither cause nor excuse, and his complaints of infidelity and coldness are equally without foundation. He died unmarried. When we look at a picture of Thomson, we wonder how a man, with that heavy pampered countenance and awkward mein, could ever have written the " Seasons" or have been in love. I think, it is Barry Cornwall, who says strikinpls,‘ that Thomson's figure " was a personification of the Castle of Indolence, without its roaoance," Yet Thomson, though he has not given, any po pularity or interest to the name a a woman, 13 said to have been twice in lave, after his owe lack-a-daisical fashion s Ho was first attaehed to Miss Stanley, who died young, Rod upon whom he wrote the little elegy, Tell me, thou soul of her I love, &o.

The object of this attach ment was a Miss Young, who resided at Rich mond ; and his attentions to her were conti nued through a long series of years, and even within a short time before his death, in his forty-eighth year. She was his Amanda ; and if she at all answered the description of her in his Spring, she must have teen a lovely and amiable woman. And thou, Amanda, came, pride of my song ; Forma by the (races,, loveliness itself !

Truth, however, obliges me to add one little trait. A lady who did not know Theinson per sonally, but Wewets enchanted.with his " Seasons," said she eauld gather from his works three parts of 14,s character : that he was an amiable lover, an excellent swimmer, and extremely abstemious. a s h l l dli w i e r f e rom those co o ld f Savage, who knew the poet, could trot help laughing at this picture of a man 'who scarcely f i 'who indulged . a a nn ta in n; t- i ki o t the a N k v i a water Like good-naturedlik' h e a t a cat ; an d love bona t a l v . s i v v a h owl? who tained without trouble him self in every possible luxury, which could be oh ouble !
