WAKUEY.—At the meeting of the masons, Wakley defended his political conduct. At t:meeting of the inhabitants of St. Luke's, to eSta : "HAI a Free-trade Society, the Hon: Gentleman took the same course. He is becoming - a deter mined intruder of his own concerns on. public Meetings called for very different objects. We are far from saying that Mr. Wakley's Parlia , r , r tentary conduct does not, eed defence; we are ..of a different opinion, and we rejoice to see that "Pinion confirmed by the Hon. Member's sensi- 7 IlYeness, sringing no doubt from his own con ',L7tictions. At the same time, it is not fair to t,h.rust his defence on meetings called for a very aifferent purpose. The Hon. Member should 8411 1111011 his constituents, to hear what he has to sa Y in his own behalf, and then there would be n ° mistake, let the result be what it might. The Rev. Sidney Smith long ago remarked t hat the whole order of nature seemed reversed in New South Wales, and he • recommended all n aturalist:, to hold their theories at single a nchor.

The LORD CutaxcELLon. took appeals to-day. PRICE V. NORTH. A gentleman behind the Bar applied to the Court this morning in this case, under the following circumstances: —The case, which was in fact a rehearing from the Equity Exchequer, had by some mistake been answered by Lord Abinger as a common petition ; such being the fact, he had now to ask the leave of the Court that the case might stand on his Lordship's paper of rehearings. There was ,evidently some mistake about it, the manner of answering' the petition by Lord Abinger being the following :—" Let all parties attend me in t he matter of this petition on the first petition day in Term." 'Whereas by the Act lately passed the jurisdiction of the Equity Exchequer had been done away with. The LORD CLTANCF.LI.OR—That was struck out, and the followinr , appears to have been inserted — " Let till's Cause be set down to be heard upon further directions hereof give notice forthwith." Now that was. not ac cording to the practice of the Court of Exchequer, and it was necessary, therefore, to make a special application to the Lord Chancellor on the subject. Looking to the order of Lord Abinger. his Lordship thought that the original order to which Lord Abinger's signature had been annexed, had been struck out 'and the present one substituted by the Solicitor in. the cause. Mr. GIRDLESTONE, who was ono of the Counsel in the cause, thought it probable that the alteration had been made by one of the officers of the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the subject should be inquired into, because if the irregularity he had pointed out, had been committed, a new order must be made. It seemed to have been assumed that Lord Abinger had made an order for a rehearing, when, in fact, he had not done so. The case was then, ordered to stand over, in order that inquiry might be made as to what had taken place. WOODCOCK V. 'RESNICK. The arguments in this part-heard appeal were re sumed, and occupied the Court the whole morning. The only question in the case was; as to the validity of a power of appointment. • ROLLS' COURT._ (THIS DAY. HOLMES V. SU:NH.IN. • • , This was a suit instituted .by the mortgagor for the forclosure of a mortgage. The defendant Blenkin, was indebted to the Banking Company, and deposited with them, by way of mortgage, the tide-deeds of the property in question ; and subsequently also, the title deeds of another property. On the 28th of March, 18n, Blenkin contracted with a gentleman named Graham, One of'the defendants, to sell to him, the pro perty to which the deeds in the first deposit related, and undertook .to convey the same to him free from incumbrances on or , before the 6th of April then next ensuing. Thisigreeirent was never carried into effect, although Graharn had advanced a portion of the purchase money, and had entered on possession of the property, the company having refused to deliver up the title-deeds, although they supplied an abstract of them, unless the whole of their debt due to them from Blenkin on the two mortgages was paid out of the pur chase money. Blenkin had subsequently become bank rupt, and this suit was instituted by the Company against his assignees, and Mr. Graham, for the foreclosures of the mortgage. _ Mr. PEMBERTON having stated the plaintiff's case, Mr. KINDERSLEY was arguing that of the defendant Graham, when, by consent, the cause was postponed to allow the parties time for consultation, with a view to an arrangement. Y). VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DA (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His HoNoun's paper this morning contained pleas, demurrers, exceptions, and further directions ; but in consequence of the parties not being prepared, the Court was enabled to make but very little progress, and rose before one o'clock. The, ease of Brown v. Brown, which was part heard, was ordered to stand over, in conse quence of the absence of Counsel. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) SEDDON V. PRINCE. This was a bill of exceptions taken by the plaintiff to the insufficiency of the defendant's answer to a bill ori ginally filed by the plaintiff. Mr. Cooper, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Heathfield, supported the exceptions; Mr. Sirupkinsan, Q.C., and Mr. Lowens appeared for the defendants. The arguments were of considerable length, but the case was of no general interest. His HONOUR allowed the exceptions. QUEEN'S BENCH':--(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. THE LEICESTER AND NORTHAMPTON UNION , • A CANAL COMPANY. In this case a rule had been obtained against the ..de fendants, calling upon them to show cause why a manda mus should not issue directed to them, and commanding them to make a uniform rate of toll or tonnage upon all coals to be conveyed along the line of their canal, or to taluee the rate of tonnage charged upon coals con veyed from Northampton to Market Harborough along a portion of the line. Mr. Sergeant MANNING now appeared to support the return that had been made to the mandamus. The return set out, in the first place, the various Acts under which the Company had been incorpo rated. The first Act, passed in the 33d year of the reign of George the Third, by which certain parties were empowered to make a canal from Leicester to Northampton; by the 45th of , the same reign the Com pany were empowered to alter the line •of their canal; and then there was a third Act passed in the 50th Geo. 111., incorporating .another Company with power to make a canal from the Grand Junction Canal to the Leicester and Northampton Union Canal, thereby uniting both. Now the canal originally proposed from Northampton to Leicester was only carried eighteen iniles, and from thence there was a collateral cut to Market Ha borough, making the distance 24 miles, and for that dis tance the Company were authorized to charge ss. per ton, and did charge 4s. 4d. A different rate of tolls was charged along the remainder of the line, and the people of Market . 11arborough, by whom the mandamus had been applied for, complained that they were charged a higher rate of toll for the distance than was charged for coals going a longer distance on the line. Now lie sub mitted, that there was no pretence for saying that the defendants could make a uniform rate of toll along the entire line, inasmuch as the remainder of the line had been formed by another Company, with ditferent.powers, and authorised to levy different rates of toll. An attempt was made, by his learned friend Mr. Hill, to make the rule absolute in the first instance, on the ground that the defen dants had violated the provisions of the Act, and he (Mr. Manning) had not an opportunity, on the occasion, of addressing their Lordships, as he was at the time before Mr. Justice Patteson endeavouring, but unsuccessfully, to effect the liberation of a prisoner. Lord DENMAN—Probably, if you had been here, the prisoner would have been set at liberty.—(Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant MANNING submitted, that under the pro visions of the 3d Act of Parliament, by, which the Grand Union Canal was formed, the Legislature expressly sanctioned the principle of charging a rate of ton nage, modified by circumstances, and the destination of the coals or other goods to be carried thereon. The Learned Counsel, after referring to the various authorities on the point, submitted that the return was good, and the rule for the mandamus. ought to be dis charged. :Mr. PEACOCK, in support of the mandamus, contended that the return was false, inasmuch as the defendants set out that they were authorised to take and levy certain rates and tolls. The prosecutors complained that the rates were unequal, and the defendants in the first place alleged that they were authorised to levy these varying rates, and secondly that they had never been applied to to equalise the rate of tonnage. The question before ,the Court was whether the return of the defendants was a sufficient answer, and he submitted that it was not. EXCHEQUER.-(T tilS DAY.) BOUCHER AND ANOTHER V. DOUGLASS. This was an action tried before Lord Abinger iu Lon don, when a verdict was found for the plaintiffs for 360/, Mr. JAMES now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had. It was an action by the assignees of a bankrupt named Maitland, to recover the value of several bills, alleged to have been given to the defendant by way of fraudulent preference, while the bankrupt contemplated bankruptcy. Maitland was a leather factor who had borrowed the above of the de fendant for which he had given his bill, which would fall due on the 29th of October. On the 22d, the bankrupt went to the defendant at Winchester, and gave him a variety of acceptances, in substitution of the other. It was proved at the trial that, previous to the 22d Oct., Maitland was in insolvent circumstances ; that he had overdrawn his account at . the bank, and that one of his creditors had given him notice to give bail for his debt within twenty. one days, Otherwise he Would become bankrupt. The fiat was' dated the 10th November; he (Mr. James) contended that there was not evidence enough to show that, on the 22d October, the bankrupt contemplated bankruptcy. • The Cotner considered the Jury had come to a right conclusion—the notice for bail was a strong fact in the case.—Rule refused. FAULRENER V. M'CABE. Mr. S. Wowrt.mc moved to set aside the verdict, which was for the defendant. The action Was brought to re cover the valtfe of certain Certificates of shares from the ,public officer of a bank.' , It was tried at the late Liver pool Aksizes, before Justice, Wightman. It appeared that the plaintiff, in March, IhB3B, se for employed h erta s ini brother, whnwas a share-broker, tci purca him c shares in the London an d llirMingltatanitilway,qmpai,y, the pay moat for Which was to be made out of a sum of 9001. in the hands of John Faulkener, the property aofno the er plaintiff: J o hn Faulkener mad e a bargain with th broker, the d owner of July na med Hampsen, for twenty ci. on r A ail e w on ay tr , ac f t or no 7 te ll v‘ l , . a , s t ma onbde e o p u ed an fo d r e d of the shares, and it was Clearly and distinctly in the h b e y 3 name of the plaintiff. On the 3d of Julyilla in p f and p of plied to John Faulkener for payment but ie, He asked Hampson for and obtfiined t he certificates, which his brother, had dealt with tne 9001., and could not pay: he took to a joint-stock hank in which lie was a shareholder, and although It was then after bank hours, he immediately obtained an advance of 7001. upon the certificates. After that John Faulkener became bankrupt; he was ,considerably indebted to the Bank, which held many shares as security, the whole of wh ich were sold, and amongst them those belonging to the plaintiff. To prove that fact, he `(Mr. W.) called both Hampson and the broker who sold them on the part of the Bank ; and, in order to identify them, he asked.the witnesses what were the number (If the shares. The ,question was objected to. It was said he was inquiring into the contents of ie written docu pent, • and his Lordship held th'e objection to be good. On that part of the case* the Learned Gentleman contended that he did not want', to know any thing of the contents of the certificate—al he wanted ;ON - PON. WEDNESDAY -5 NOVEMBER 10, 841. was to treat them in the same manner as any other chattel which . had a particular mark upon it for assisting its identification ; and in support of his view 'of the case he cited the cases of Butcher v. Jarrett, 3d Bosanquet and Puller ; Jolly v. Taylor, Ist Campbell, 149 ; and White head and ,Scott. He further complained . that ,his Lord ship had left a question to the Jury upon which there was no evidence. He left it to the Jury to say whether the shares were purchased for the plaintiff, or whether they w ere not purchased for the account of John Faulkeno hire self, and the contract note an afterthought. Now there was no evidence of that at all, but Mr. Cresswell, with thit tact which distinguished him, mooted the point in his reply, and they all knew with what peculiar effect his Learned Friend, addressed aLiverpool Jury.On these grounds he trusted their Lordships would think the case 'Worthy of further consideration. L6rd•ABINGER censidered the Learned Judge had aeted righL The number alone would not prove that thopaper . was a-certificate—it was part of a written in strument, and:must be proved. Baron PARKS--If the objection be taken, it •is one that must . prevail, however hard it may be. He thought the Learned Judge was right in rejecting the evidence, and also in leaving the question of, for whom the shares were purchased, to the Jury. The other Barons agreed, and the rule was refused. SOMES V. LAWSON. This case came before the Court upon a demurrer to the plaintiff's plea. Mr. PLATT applied to amend, of course, upon pay ment of costs. . Mr. Bovu, hoped their Lordships would not grant the application as a matter of course. The defendants had already applied at Chambers, and got leave to amend, and then they pleaded this plea, which was not in Da cordance with the rule. The action was for a series ~f libels upon the defendant and his ship, and many Terms had already been lost by the demurrer, - THE CouaT- 7 -L4 theplea.be,--araeWeid,iii two days, and let the case stand in the paper for, - .4oriday If, after the amendinent, the plaintiff is not satisfied with it, he may then come and argue his demurrer.' The trial will- then not be delayed beyond the sittings after Term. BAIL COURT-(THIS DAY.) EX RiIITE Mr. MILE applied for a rule calling upon attorney of the,Court to show cause why he shouldimit pay to Messrs. Bailey and Shaw the sum of 1511. 155., with in terest thereon, and also the costs of this application. It appeared that the attorney had been applied toby Bailey and Shaw to sue a person named Putman on a promis sory note for the above sum—that Pulman in April last had paid the amount in question to the attorney, who represented to the plaintiffs that Pulman had not paid it—that in July the attorney acknowledged he had received the money from Pulman, and ap. propriated it to his own purposes, and that he was unable to pay the same to Bailey and Shaw. An ac tion had been brought against him, and the venue laid in Bristol. The Attorney had pleaded his privilege, and brought it back to this Court, and thus had gained the be nefit of the long vacation. That action had been discon tinued, and the costs tendered to the defendant. Under these circumstances the application had been made.— , Rule granted. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships this day took the demurrer paper, and one case, in which the question was only the oft decided one as to the non jurisdiction of County Courts in causes where an amount of more than 40s, depends, occupied the whole day. The Court decided, of course, against the jurisdiction. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) SWAFFHAM COURSING MEETING.-TUESDAY.

MORE INCENDIARY FIRES AT RADBROOK, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY Nrwr.'—Another fire, caused by an incendiary, broke out on the farm of Mr. Ralph Smith, of Radbrook, on Sunday morning. • In conse quence of the repeated outbreaks which occurred on the same premises a fortnight ago, the Birmingham Insurance Company despatched a powerful engine, accompanied by a number of efficient firemen. This force remained at Radbrook until Saturday last, when no fears being ap prehended of further acts of incendiarism, men and en gine, were withdrawn and returned to Birmingham. It would appear, however, that the presence of the brigade was the chief protection against renewed outrage ; for on Sunday morning, about seven o'clock, two ricks, one of wheat and the other oats, situate at a considerable distance from each other, simultaneously took fire, and, for all useful purposes, were completely destroyed. For tnnately, although the Birmingham engine and men had left the premises, an engine belonging to Mr. West was promptly brought to the scene of destruction, and ren dered all the assistance which, under the circumstances, Could be afforded. Soon after the former outbreaks, the Directors of the Fire-office received a letter which induced them to think that one, if not more, of the parties implicated had re; paired to or was to be beard of in Ireland, and Mr. Su perintendent Stephens was sent to Dublin, to investigate the matter. His mission was, however, altogether abor tive ; the letter to the Directors being intended, as it would appear, to put the police on the wrong scent: , • Although as yet no clue has been discovered to the, perpetrators of this act, from the appearances of most of the fires, it is supposed to have been the result of the application of some combustible preparation. One of the ricks destroyed yesterday presents, however, a somewhat di&rent appearance, and would lead to the supposition that ignition had been attempted on one side by running a candle along the whole length of the stack. There is a distinct mark to. this effect on the lower part of the rick which was saved from total burning. An other strange part of the story is—showing with what myF.tcry the fires are created—a waggoner and shepherd were watching very near the site of the fires yesterday • morning when they occurred, and yet neither of them either heard or saw any stranger upon the farm. Cap tain Evans, the head of the Gloucestershire Rural Police, with a number of the force, are now engaged in watching the premises, -and attempting the detection of the offenders, and it is, hoped their exertions may prove successful. There has not as yet been any offi cial or Magisterial examination of any parties residing in the neighbourhood, As may be easily conceived, Mr. Smith and family are deeply affected by, these afflicting circumstances, and the whole of his household bear the highest character.

Two Vols, 1841. liqvi9 .As the historian of the "red race" of Au eript4 as the biographer of a nation which is rapidly, disappearing from the earth, and whose very ex istence and customs will soon become matter of doubt, the author of these volumes stands in the important light of one who has snatched their memory from oblivion, who has fixed and-pre- Served them for future time, and who has perpe tuated in his pages their lives, their dress, their amusements', and their worship. Voyager, historian, and tourist, Mr. Catlin ad mirably combines the capacities of each. • Bold and adventurous in his youth, his restless and en terprising spirit little brooked the dull ploddings of the law in a Connecticut office, and a circum stance Occurred at this period which decided his after life. A handful of noble Indians, wrapped in their pictured robes, and their brows plumed with the wat eagle; suddenly arrived in the city at which he wad staying. He was smitten with the bold, intrepid,step, the proud deportment of N ature's man : Im.e inquired of this people : they were of the ",Far West;" the sound of this dis tant region rang like romance in his ear; he be came enthusiastic," and the " Far West," with its stately figures, incessantly haunted his imagi nation : v. • At Buffalo a steamboat was landing 400 passengers, and twelve days out—" Where from ?" " From the West." In the rich state of Ohio, hundreds were selling tlieir farms and going—to the West. In the beautiful city of Cincinnati, people said to me "Our town has passed the days of its most rapid growth, it is not far enough West." In St. Louis; 1,400 miles west of New York, my landlady assured me that I would be pleased with her boarders, for they were nearly all merchants from the " West." I there asked, Whence come those steam boats, laden with pork, honey; hides; &e.? From the West. Whence those ponderous bars of silver, which those men have been for hours shouldering and putting on board that boat ? They come from Santa Fee, from the West. Whence goes this steamboat so richly laden with dry goods, steam-engines, &c. ? She goes to Jefferson city. Jefferson city ?—W i here s that ? Far to the West. And where goes that boat laden down to her gunDels, the Yellow Stone ? She goes still farther to the West. go the West." Accordingly, carrying his canvass to the Rocky Mountains—the first artist who had ever set out on such a work, Mr. Catlin visited in the space of eight years, no less than 48 tribes, containing 5,000 souls, and has made several thousand paintings of the actual persons and scenes them selves, engravings from the originals of which are scattered to an unprecedented extent over the present. vo'.uines. At a distance of 3,500 miles from his native soil, Mr. Catlin found among the red races of mankind, and the regions of their inheritance, fresh and. glowing scenes for his notice and ani madversions. He mingled with the tribes who dwelt amid the plains and forests, with the Black feet, the Crows, the Sioux, the IVlandans, and a host of other petty nations; he conversed fami liarly with their chiefs and sachems, their doc tors and their braves ; he accompanied them in their baffalo-hunts and expeditions • his fever as a Then, said I, "I'll sportsman was roused arid satisfied by shooting ie swans and pelicans of their lakes, and the deer, antelopes, and elks of their deserts; their games and mysteries were constantly enacted before him ; he slept in their wigwams, and shared with them their food. From such it must be evident that English readers will find his book circumstantial and accurate, by warrant of his long experience and intimate acquaintance. Among the many curious facts which abound in these pages, the following custom of the As sinneboins of boiling their meat, and from which they derive their name, is singular:— When they kill meat, a hole is dug in the ground about the size of a common pot, and a piece of the raw hide of the animal, a 3 taken from the back, is put over the hole, and then pressed down with the hands close around the sides, and filled with water. The meat to be boiled is then put in this hole or pot of water ; and in a fire, which is built near by, several stones are heated to a red heat, which are successively dipped and held in the water until the meat is boiled ; from which singular and peculiar custom, the Ojibbeways have given them the apellation of Asinneboins or stone boilers. This custom is a very awkward and tedious one, and used only as an ingenious means of boiling their meat, by a tribe who was too rude and ignorant to construct a ket tle or pot. Mr. Catlin's account of the Mandans—a peen- liar race, who never bury their dead, but place the bodies on slight scaffolds in the open air, a little higher than human hands can reach, and just out of the way of wolves and dogs, so leaving them to moulder and decay—affords many sin gular traits : among others their utethod of swim ming - • • The mode of swimming amongst th'e Mandans, as well as amongst most of the other tribes, is 'quite different from that practised in those parts of the civilized.world which I have had the pleasure yet to visit. The Indian, instead of parting his hands simultaneously under the chin, and making the stroke outward, in a horizontal di rection, causing thereby a serious strain upon the chest, throws his body alternately upon the left and the right side, raising one arm entirely above the water and reach ing as far forward as he can, to dip it, whilst his whole weight and force are spent upon the one that is passing under him, and, like a paddle, propelling him :don.. - whilst this arm is making a half circle, and is being raised out of the water behind him, the opposite arm is describ ing a similar arch in the air over his head, to be dipped in the water as far as he can reach before , him, with the hand turned under, forming a sort of bucket, to act most effectively as it passeS in its turn underneath him. By this bold 'and powerful mode of swimming, which may want the . grace that many would wish to see,*l am quite sure, frgra - ,the experience I have bad, that much of the fatigue and strain upon the breast and spine are avoided, and "thit'a'man will preserve his strength and his breath much longer in this alternate and rolling mo tion, than he can in the usual mode of swimming in the polished world. Polygamy among the Sioux and other tribes is allowed, and no way censured. The son of the great chief Shoo-de-ga-cha distinguished himself by taking four wives in one day. This bold and original step suddenly raised him into notice and importance. The astonishment of the Mandans at toile author's representing them on canvass fur nishes a touch of unsophisticated Indian na- tire They pronounced me the greatest medicine-man in the world, for they said I had made living beings—they said they could .see their chiefs alive in two places—those that I had made were a little alive—they conld see their eyes move—could see them smile and laugh, and that if they could laugh they could certainly spe;l:, if they should try, and they must therefore have some life in them. The squaws generally agreed, that they had dis covered life enough in them to render my medicine too great for the Mandans; saying that such an operation could not be performed without taking away from the original something of his existence, which I put in the picture, and they could see it move, could see it stir. Among the sceneries of nature, the author re joices in a succession of delightful pictures, whose tranquil happiness, where disturbed at all, was disturbed by man alone : man only had made man wretched : the " pale faces," with their whiskey, their small-pox, and their bayonets, had made twelve millions of Red men victims. Cruelly as this poor race has been maligned, our author stands up in its defence; his long resi dence and truthful character speaks volumes; be avows these persecuted beings to be brave, ho nourable, and religionS; and elsewhere avers that "-tinder all circumstances of exposure, no Indian eVer betrayed him, struck him a' blow, or stole from, him a, shilling's worth of his.property." The fast perishing races of the aboriginal world . have found a benevolent advocate in Mr. lie has travelled faithfully and far : he has cloSely scanned, and thereby fairly potutrayed the destructive influences which, on every part of the frontier, are operating to the extinction of this race: he regrets with a noble lamentation the dreary prospects of these fading t r ibes, and with the zeal of the Christian and philanthro pist, seeks, though we are afraid when it is too late, to engage the sympathies of Europe and America in their behalf. CLASSES OF THE CAPITAL. • ." Hooper, H London, 1841. We have here the Second Part of a sort of Sketch-book of London life, which it is proposed to complete in twenty Monthly Parts, so as to form two quarto volumes, profusely embellished with characteristic coloured plates, from studies made by an artist named Lee. This Part is con fined to descriptions of the various orders of Lon don coachmen—foremost among whom is, of course, the Queen's State coachman, who, though he be neatly eighty, cannot, we are told, "brook the idea of laying down the reins. He lOOks like a man who feels that he has a vested interest in his seat ; in his long official life-time he ha s been used to a slow and solemn pace,vand would. ' be apt to scorn a smart whip who wouldiunder,, take to drive four-in-hand round a drawing4oom w ithout damaging the furniture.". In his' ac count of the hackney coachman, the author gives us the following piece of information :--L" Coaches let for hire were first established in England in 1625. They did not stand_ in 4 the; :streets, but, at the principal inns. In . 1 037,..upwards of two centuries ago, there were in,London and West minster fifty hackney-coaches'i and, until after the commencement of the present century,-these coaches and- sedan-chairs- were the - only public conveyances in use in the Streets' of the ;„ metro polis. „, ' The 4, tu11-len , t• ~. portrait , gth ait of the hackney , .. . . THE RU - "coachman, affixed to the literary sketch of this (comer sample of humanity, is full of character. His coat, in particular, is the very coat to a patoh ; his nose, as it should be, is crimsoned at ,the tip, from the effects of something stronger than tea; and his shrewd, restless eye, is symp tomatic of an overcharge. Don't engage him, or if you do, be sure you take his number, for extortion is written in every feature of his face. This is the cleverest engraving in the Part. MEMOIR OF MRS. AGNES MACLEHOSE—THE CLARINDA OF BURNS. 0 gentle lady, I did hear you talk Far above singing ; after you were gone I grew acquainted with my heart, and searched What stirred it so ! Alas ! I found it love ! Though the life of Burns was troubled and sorrow. ful, yet much as he sat apart from the world with his mournful but holy thoughts, there never was a being whose soul was more open to joy and cheerfulness, or whose senses were more fresh and vigorous towards the perception and enjoyment of actual beauty. Grateful was he to Heaven in his heart for field and forest, hill and vale ; but more thankful far than for the green summer, or the mild air, or the flowers or the stars, or all that makes this world so beautiful, was he' for the good and beautiful beings he knew in it—the fair shapes of womankind who tended his steps or adminis tered to his delights. Of kind-hearted and beauiiful women, Burns, per haps, by reason — a the attractive goodness of his dis position; and his ardent warmth of soul, was acquainted with a larger Circle than often falls to the lot of one man. Every page of his works glitters with some dear and ineffaceable memory of one or other whom his passions, or virtues prompted him to celebrate in verse. The "lasses," as he called ihem in his own Doric lan guage were ever bringing a warble to his lip ; to them his affections fastened, and the impulses of his soul, like bright wine, were ever pouring out to them in song. OUthis crowd of beauties, none made a more per manent impression upon his susceptible heart than Mrs. Maclehose, the 'celebrated Edinburgh beauty—the beautiful Clarinda, whom the poet loved constantly to toast when the wine., circulated..., .the Aceoinplished Clarinda, to whom, under the name of Sylvander, he addressed so much piese and verse. In addition to a countenance of the sweetest expression, and a person the most prepossessing, Mrs. Mac., as Burns was accustomed familiarly, or rather lovingly, to call her, ssas possessed of those accomplishments, which render the former irresistible. Her voice was perhaps one of the sweetest toiled that it was possible to hear; and when it is remembered that the poet often heard, from her lips, his own exquisite and feeling ballads, little surprise can be manifested that his heart was so deeply smitten. A few days since only, and the once-beloved of Burns ' was still in the living world, at Calton Hill, Edinburgh, though bearing up under the weight of eighty-two years. Her maiden name was Agnes Craig, and she subse quently married Mr. A. Maclehose, writer, of Glasgow. It was on the death of her husband, and during her youthful widowhood, that the poet became so fervently attached s to her ; and now that neither of them can blush at the innocent recital of this amour; we will recite from personal remembrances, and other sources, all that we know of this interesting circumstance. Mrs. Maclehose, or rather Clarinda, we are aware, had many letters in her possession which passed between herself and Burns upon this occasion, and she refrained, for various rea sons, from giving them to the world ; but it is now to be hoped that this correspondence will speedily appear in some complete and authentic form, at the same time removing doubts, and revealing gratifying and delight ful circumstances. While influenced by the beauty and attractions of Mrs. Macleshose, Burns resigned himself to the two fold captivations of love and verse. Charlotte Hamil ton, who had beforetime been so long the exquisite ob ject of his poetic homage, had now passed away from his memory, or if any image of her remembrance re mained in him, it was totally swept away or obliterated by the newer charms of the fair Clarinda. The first intimations of this amour, which appears to have filled the mind of Burns for a long period with an inexpres sible sweetness and gratification, appears in a letter which be wrote to his friend Richard Brown, mariner, dated December 30, 1787 : " Almighty love," says the poet, " still reigns and revels in my bosom, and I am at this moment ready to hang'myself for a young Edinburgh widow. My high land dirk, that used to hang beside-my crutches, I have gravely removed into a neighbouring closet, the key of which I cannot command in case of spring-tide pa roxysm. You may guess of her wit by the verses which she sent me the other day : " ' Talk not of love ; it gives me pain ; For love has been my foe ; He bound me with an iron chain, And plunged me deep in woe.' " But the opening of this correspondence between Clarinda and Burns commenced by a letter from the poet himself. It is to be found among a number of others ; some written with tenderness and feeling ; others bold and vehement ; but all showing the ardour of an impassioned heart. It runs plainly and simply thus : " I can say with truth, Madam, that I never met with a person in my life whom I more anxiously wished to meet again than yourself. You are a stranger to me ; but I eat an odd heir).- ' ; some yet unnamed feelings, things, not principles, but better than whims, carry me further than boasted reason ever did a philosopher. Our worthy common friend, in her usual pleasant way, rallied me a good deal on my new acquaintance. She tells me you are not only a critic, but a poetess." Of the powers of Clarinda in rhyme many specimens might be adduced, which certainly have an elegiac and plaintive beauty about them, and which smote the heart of Burns. Speaking of a copy of one of these, Burns, in writing to his beautiful favourite herself, says, " Your last verses have so delighted me that I have got an excellent old Scots air that suits the mea sure, and you shall see them in print. I want four stanzas—you gave me but three, and one of them alluded to an expression in my former letter ; so I have taken your two first verses, with a slight alteration in the second, and have added a third, but you must help me to a fourth. Your first stanza," continues he, still alluding to the same set, " is worthy of Sappho ; I am in raptures with it !" Most of the compositions addressed by Burns to Clarinda were produced during the painful leisure which a bruised limb afforded him. On this occasion Clarinda was a constant visitor to the crippled bard, and diverted him with her wit, and soothed him with her presence. At her approach it was always apparent that his troubled spirits grew more calm ; for her presence was to his feverish heart like a tropical night, beautiful, soothing, and invigorating. Yet, strange to say, at this time, watched as he was by beauty on his couch, and praised as a poet from " Maidenkirk to John o'Groats," the poet was any thing but happy. " I have a hundred times wished.,r , he says in a letter to Mrs. Dunlop, " that one at'ald resign life as an officer resigns his commission." Some have chat acterised Burns' courtship of Cla rinda as too presumptuous and overbold, but Chose wb.o knew Clarinda cannot but feel what Burns tbougbt of her, when he wrote, " People of nice sensibility and generous minds have a certain intrinsic dignity which 1 fires et being trifled with or lowered, or even too closely approached?'And though in the 'subsequent extract from one of his poems addressed to her, the charge of " boldness" may seem somewhat fair, yet, when the generous and exuberant nature of Burns is considered, it will appear rather in the light of a noble compliment than a licentious verse. It runs thus: — In vain would Prudence, with a decent sneer, Point to a censuring world and bid me fear ; Above this world on wings of love I rise, I know its worst, and can that worst despise ; Wrong'd, slander'd, shunn'd, unpitied, unreAlrest, The mock'd quotation of the scorner's jest, Let Prudence' direst bodements on me c a ll_ CLAamni—rich reward!—repays them all. And, to show the durable and lasting nature of his affection, in another part of the s ame poem he swea rs By all on high adoring mortals know , By all the conscious villain fears W u; to love h e r so long as the trees grow, or the streams an h , perh aps , recovere d ee o h w a r Tn ro hk o e n ii kind andostursdl y h run. alndip bi inspiriting t thisi ag attend time, partl y un d er Clarinda's r ve rses from the effects of his feu; and een contemplating hweasw ote his . departure from Edinbur gh , when the fair sun of all h er sex," com mencing rses to Clarinda, mistr ess of :my : :my soul The measured time • is And which close w ith the run following picturesque and beautiful lines, that evince on the part o f Cl ar inda a reciprocity of feeling whi ch is not to be overlooked : We part—but, b lovely t h eseprecious drops That fill thy No other li g ht shall eyes, gui de in y step s Till thy bright b eams ar i se . This season of the poet's departure seems sorely to have agitated him. He was too deeply enamoured to snap asunder th e li n k s o f hi s a ff ect i on w ith a careless hand, and it is beautiful to b o serve the various oppor tunities he seizes on, whereby be may testify by some token or present his fast-during love. The subsequent lines furnish a ready instance out of many. In the. edition of his poems they are entitled, "To a Lady, with a present of a pair of Drinking Glasser-- Fair Empress of the Poet's soul, And Queen of Poetesses, Clarinda, take this little boon, This humble pair of g l a sses. ~ He then bids her, with her delicate .ruby lips to a first and 'a second health, for purpo by therein_ reea tioned;but above all she is prayed him . o drink a third, and that " third , to thee and me, lov e . 1 At this time he sentler, too , it appears, a copy of th e personal account which he ga ve of himself to Dr. Moore, therein desCribing himself to her as a " very devotee to the warmest degree of enthusiasm in love." • The last letter that Clarinda received from him was ;fraught more than usual with spiritual and abstract , s peculation. H. endeavoured to paint to her the vision # a pure and uaembodied state, in . whieh both he and she EVENING SUN . . might, in a state of heavenly intereommunion above, lead together lives of blessedness, which, upon this gross earth, they at present could not comprehend : he writes thus :—" What a life of bliss would we lead in our mutual enjoyment of friendship and love ! Ab, I see you laughing at my fairy fancies, but I am certain I would be a happy creature beyond anything we call bliss here below ; nay it would be a paradise congenial to you, too.. Don't you see us hand in hand, surveying the eometsilarning by us," &c. & c . There may appear a x ain of levity pervading this, but we would rather believe that at the time Burns wrote it the solemnity of the idea weighed most on' his mind, and that he wished it to operate with like effect upon the soul of his Clarinda. That disembodiment bath taken place; the spirits of both, it is hoped, are now among those " made perfect, and the exalted plea sures which, in an after .state, the poet shadowed to himself as enjoying with the beloved one of his soul, are naw fulfilled. THE KNOWING OLD SMUGGLER. SAFE ARRIVAL OF THE CREW OF THE HOSE. Soon after they parted company with the cutter off St. Catherine's, to proceed with the prize to Cowes, the strap of the main-sheet went, and the boom fol lowed. The Captain of the smuggler was very Wive in assisting the cutter's men to repair the damage ; but it is supposed, that, during the confusion, he contrived to introduce a nail to the compass, which would not. traverse ; and all their calculations were thus capsized. They were they knew not where, and he offered him self to do his best to take the shattered bark into an English port. It blew hard all night (Oct. 28) Irons the north and east—the Frenchman at the helm ; and next morning, when they expected to make Plymouth, they entered a small French port, to the westward of La Hogue. The smuggler regretted much to them that he had not succeeded in taking them into an English, port, but consoled himself with his having, by theiK misfortunes and his good generalship, saved his vessel an his liberty. The cutter's men, alter an absence of ten days, contrived to reach home, to the great joy of their anxious families, who considered that the Frer, c h t n e n had certainly killed them all, when he had atted like a father by them. Some think he assisteil. the strap of the block in its parting moments, but it was so pitchy dark, that none can tell the tricks he played, nor how be was assisted.
