J. J.SToc:iDALL, Pr.':-31u11. Having been so much attracted by th merits of this Poem on its first appearance, as to copy several extracts from it into THE SUN, there rea mains little for us to say in our regular Review. Certain we are that these Extracts must have jus tified our very favourable opinion to the publie, and excited a wish to peruse the pleasing production from which tbey are taken. We shall not, therefore, do injustice to a work, whose greatest fault is that of being too short, by robbing it of too many of its at tractions, and converting them into ornaments for our own columns. Waterloo we commend in its original and entire form to our Re aiers, and shall now only present them with the patriotic, loyal, and poetical introduction which the Author has prefixed to it. PROEME. Cui Pudor, et 3ustitim soror Incurrupta Fides, nudaque Veritas, Quando ullum Pareni ? I may not reach mine hand to yonder shell, Where its' high harmonies suspended sleep On it_ lbion's votive shrine ; I may not swell The glory of its' COIICAVe'6 echoing sweep ; Till, borne upon her memory dear and deep, PITT'S honoured name bath waked the expectant string. It is a game whereon the Virtu e s Wee p, Which the pro patriot Muse delights to sing ; As mingles with her lay its' lofty triumphing. Thou wert no longer with us !—But thy Spirit Breathed in our heart and battled on our arm And still thy grateful Albion loth inherit Its' power resistless, and its' mighty charm. Even in the perilous time, in that alarm, When foreign envy banded for her doom, And fear domestic quailed before the storm, Thy sun-Fright genius burst the gathered gloom; We heard its' wakening voice, and felt it from the tomb. Spirit revered and sorrowed !-Thou, whose care Slept not on Alhio.i's donbtful destiny! Albion, thy living charge, thy dying prayer, To her consummate glory asks thine eye. Bend from thy blessed immortality, And in their prosperous course her sous assure:— For they hare watched thy word—low faithfully!— And alway shall . thy counsels, wise an-1 pure, Avenge their suffering pest, their future peace secure! Oh when our wrath o'ertook the recreant Gaul, An!! dashed iiirn forth to exile and to shame; When, seated in you guilty Capital, Fir Ili CAsnxiiliAGll pronounced our victor claim ; Thought we not then of Pyrr's inspiring name ? In that proud hour, which Providence (lath given, To join the Pupil with ►he Master's fame, Back on its' source see saw the tempest driven, And his last prayer fulfilled " On SAVE MY COUNTRY, IIEr'.VEN!" We ought to notice that the Poem of Waterloo forms only a small portion of this agreeable vu lu►ne. There are several other productions of a miscellaneous nature, among which i''e hue read, with peetiliar pleasure, " Three Strings of the Harp," '' time Age of Chivalry," " Vittoria," " The Chaplet," and (with which, as with a loyal prayer, we shall conclude these brief re marks) "God Bless the Old King." Letters from Calcutta mention, that the season has hitherto been unusually favourahle to the 'WO of indigo through6ut Bengal, and it is siip posed that the produce this year will exceed the most prolific year ever known, by at least 30,000 ruaunds.

Ile was tried before the Court of Justiciary, and sentenced to fourteen years transportation to Botany Bay, with four others.

COVEWf - GAR6EN.-The Dramatic Romance of Cymon was last night revived at this Theatre.— This Piece was orginally performed at Drury-lane Theatre in the year 1767, and was written by :he celebrated DAviD GARRICK. The diurnal critics, who have arraigued this Piece for insipidity, do not seem to know for what purpose it was writ ten. It was intended to bring forward the whole comic and musical talents of the Drury-lane corn- Pally at that period, as well as to introduce a new species of sccner, invented anti executed by Mr. D LOUTHEREOURGII. On this occasion KING, VERNO N , PAasoNs, Dunn, the elder HANNIsTria, CHAMPNESS, Mrs. ARINoTON, Mrs. 13ADDELEY, and other popular performers of the day, contri buted their talents ill support of the Piece; and the music was composed by MICHAEL ARNE, under the superintendauce of his father, one of the best of English musicians. The scenery was not only of a novel kind, hut was admirable in point of beauty, magnificence, and ingenious mechanism. All that GARRICK therefore had to do, was to Provide a vehicle for such a combination of thea trical powers, musical expression, and picturesque effect, And this object he had fully accomplished. But the Drama itself contains a variety of cha rarlers, and ludicrous situations, which shew the hand of a master who could have effected some thing better, if the occasion had required it.— It is, however, time to speak of the 'lowlier in which the piece was revived last ni g ht. Th e scenery is excell e nt i n beauty and grandeur. The chief- of Alines :airs are retained, and there is the addition of sonic pleasing songs by Iltsnor, Sir Joust STEVENSON, and PAER. Miss fIuGHEs per formed Urganda in an impressive nanrer, though perhaps there was too much shew of execution in her sinking. Miss STEPHENS was most interest ing in her performance of as well as in her acting. DURUsET, by his representation of Cymon, has established his character as a good actor as well as singer. LISTON was very ludi crous in Dorus, and Mrs. Glass was an admirable Fatima. iilanY of the airs were encored, and the whole was very warmly received by a numerous audience. ROCHESTER PEDESTRIAN. ROCHESTER, Nov. 20.—This morning, at five minutes before five o'clock, BAKER completed his arduous undertaking of 1000 miles.. He eon, clinic& his nineteenth day's performance at half past ten yesterday, when, to the utter astonish ment of his friends, he determined to accomplish his task before. he retired, which he did in high style, amid the acclamations of the whole course, when retiring to the Cossack. He appeared again at ten o'clock on his old spot, dressed in a flannel jacket, new hat, and his old boots, and proceeded up and down several times.— At 12 o'clock he commenced to perform the ten miles which had been allowed him in the rods, and - by a few minutes after two made good his complement. He was afterwards taken in a car riage, accompanied by his wife (his nurse), Mr. Alit.r.s, Mr . CHALME . ItS, and others of his sport ing friends, who wore in their hats a leaf of lau rei, on which was wrote—Baker and Victory; they proceeded through Rochester, Chatham,. Stroud, and St. Margarets, having before them the Ma rine band, playing '' See the conquering Hero comes." After this, BAKER, amidst the acclama tion of his followers, retired to the Cossack, to spend the remainder of the day.

WEXFORD, Nov. 13 —Two women and a man, strangers, decently attired, were industriously cm. played last week in circulating counterfeit Notes, of 20s. and 30s. of the B ink of Ireland. They purchased, in a number of shops, small quantities of different artichs, and had left town before the fraud was tliscovered—the notes were uncom monly well executed. Instantly several of the in habitants, who had taken these notes, took dif ferembroads in pursuit ; and they were fortu natelyovertaken in a hack-carriage, near Ennis corthy, and informations lodged against them be fore that active Ma-istrate, A. H. Jacob, Esq. who immediately after granting a warrant for their committal, set off for Dublin, jo commu nicate the circumstance to time Directors of th , t Bank of Irel-nul. We congratulate the pubik on the apprehension of this dangerous gang, which we hope will lead to the detection of their associates, and consign the whole to that punish.- merit they so richly merit. On Thursday last, hands Twiss, Esq a Ma gistrate of the county Kerry, and a party of this Antrim militia, front Castle Island, apprehended, after a desperate resistance, a notorious ruffian, named Daniel Kearney, who had the command of a lawless banditti, and who for the last year committed a variety of burglaries ; lie fired at the military when Mr. Twiss seized him, how ever, one of the soldiers returned the shot, and mortally wounded Kearney. His body WRS broUght into Cutrens, and a Coroner's Jury brotOtt in a :ertlict according to the above statement. LA W I NTELLIG ENCE. COURT OP KINGS BENCH, Nor. 20. MURDER, The Ax:rORNEY GENERAL made a motion of a singular sort, w tie!) was to relative an indictment for murder from Rochester, where it was laind, in order to transmit it to he tried at Nisi Pritts at the Assizes. He moved this on the ground that a satisfactory trial could not be had at Rochester; for he wo b tild not go the length of saving, that its •- a question of murder a fair trial could not be had, even in any dose jurisdiction. The fact was, that the indictment had been found at the Sessions for Rochester, and they were of opinion, that they could not remit the case to be tried at the county Assizes. and therefore he was under the necessity of making the present motion. He remembered a case some years ago, when a motion was made to remove an indictment for felony from the Westmoreland Sessions, where it was supposed a certain person had an overweening influence, (Lord Lonsdale.) Upon-that occasion Lord Ken yon said, the Court bad the power, and they certainly would exercise it. His friends at the bar had also furnished him with ttvo instances where the Court at Nisi Prius on the Circuit had tried felonies, and by the Statute 14th Henry VI. cap. 1. it was enacted, that the Judge at Nisi Prtus who took the inqaest for felonies should pass the sentence. He apprehended, therefore, that there would be no difficulty in the case ; that the indictment being btooght into this Court by Certiorari, it would go down to the Assizes like an official information. The facts were, that a Corporal being placed on hoard a King's ship in the Medway, within the jurisdiction of the town of Rochester, it was his duty to keep off the land boats which ply about the King's ships, and are-niost commonly the receptacles for stolen stores which are thrown out at the port holes. He had warned a boat, in which the de ceased was, to keep off. But as it persisted itt approaching, by way of alarming them, he fired his piece, meaning to fire it over the head of the man who was Id led. At that moment, however, the man who was stooping before jast raised him self,- and the haft unfortunately took effect. The Attorney-General then hinted, that the prejudices of the people of Yochester ran so strong against the prisoner, that it was desirable he should be tried tlsew`,,,ere. The Court said, it was a fit subject to be con sidered, but entertained considerable doubt whe ther they could do it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said ) if they could not, Le must avail himself of the privilege of the Court to remove it by Certiorari, and have it tried at Bar.—Rule Nisi granted. THE KING V. HAMOND KING. The defendant, who had been an excise officer,' had admitted judgment to go by default, on ,a charge of conniving at very extensive frauds ork the revenue. He had also, in the course of a pro— ceeding ag ainst an accompli ce , f or t h e pena l t i es ,' sworn to the truth of his garbled and mutilated books. For the first offence, he this day received the judgment of the Court, which was imprison— ment in the county jail of Suffolk for two years. THE KING V. JOHN QUICK AND MICHAEL WELCH.. The defendants had been found guilty at Bud min of obstructing an excise officer in the execu tion of his duty. There being many circumstances in favour of the prisoners disclosed by the case, and as they eXptessed their sincere contrition, they were permitted to be discharged on their own recognizances to appear when called upon. They bore excellent characters, and it seemed very doubtful if they ware in fart smuggling ac the time of the obstruction. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nor. VO.
