SHENSTONEN pathetic and affecting ballad of JEMMY DAWSON has drawn tears from every per. son of sensibility, or possessing the feelings of huManity ; and it will continue to•be admired as l on e gs the English language shall exist. • This which is founded in truth, was taken from a narrative first published in the Parrot' of the 2d of August, 1746, three days after the transaction it records. It is given in the form of a letter, and is as follows : of a good family and handsome cc A young lady fortune engettial34 for beloved st. ; b t ; n lVir e . x 3 tr a e rf u te l v s lY p l a o w y s e o d n% a o l t i t t e l n 4;:iSfirgeitdlhl::rts'eSelllSuaoYllllhl;aapStiti:ll3: at 1 le h el e rl7 e i i i : g h t :: : b o cet sour . na rrei n ti d ;te foo tt i ; lr , or have found the royal mercy after condemna tion, the day of his enlargement wits to have befit that o n t i arri ag e. prolong narrative by any repe tition of what she suffered CII sentence being passed on him ; none, excepting those utterly in capable of feeling any soft or general)s emotions, but may easily conceive her agonies; beside, the said catastrophe will be sufficient to convince youi N of theiro; the sincerity. ,persuasions of her kindred could prevent her from going to the t~lac~ of execu tlon she was determined to see the last o f a person so dear to her, and accordingly followed the sledges in a hackney coach, accompanied by a gentleman nearly related to her,and one female friend. She got near enough to see the fire kindled which was to consl' that heart she knew was so much devoted ug to e her, and all the other dreadful preparations for his fate, without betraying any of those emotions her friends ap.. prehentled ; but when all was over, and that she "found he was no more, she threw her head back into the conch, and ejaculating, " My dear, I follow thee ! I follow thee! Lord Jesus! receive both our souls together," fell on the neck of her companion, and expired the ver y moment she had done speaking. "- That excessive grief which the force of her resolution had kept smothered within her breast, is thought to have put a stop to the vital motion, and suffocated at once all the a nimal spirits." In the Whitehall Evening Post, August 7th, this narrative is copied with thu remark, that " upon inquiry every circumstance was literally rue." A ballad was cried about tl►e streets at the founded us; this melancholy narrative, but t can scarcely be said to have aided Shenstone In his beautiful production. NATIONAL SOClF.TY.—Yesterday the General Committee of the National Society for the Edu cation of the Poor in the Principles of the Esta blished Church, held their Meeting at St. Martin's Vestry goon, the Lord Bishop of B ATH an d WELLs in the Chair; twelve fresh Schools were united to the Society, and nine grants of money were made towards the erecting, enlarging, and fitting up of Sehool-rooms. SPANIAII 111(311 SpratTo—Don Sabiniano, a Spaniard, being a prisoner in a dungeon at his. bon, soon after the revolt of the Dnke of Bra. gams, afterwards King. John of Portugal, was told by the corregidor that the King was p ass ing by, and that it would be a proper occasion to petition for release ; instead of which, he shut his window in the King's face. For this affront his window was bric ked up, and all access of tight debarred. ASSIZE INTF,LLIGENCE 'LANCASTER, SEPT. 13. HEWETT v. 1 , 114L0W AND °TREAS. It will be recollected that we gave a report of this case 'fear days since, resreeting an - execution entered up against the plaintiff's horses, who had taken. the benefit of the Insolvent D e btors' Act, when the Learned Judge left a question of law open in case he should have taken an erroneous view of the case. • . Mr. Serjeant Cuoss applied this morning for and obtained the, rule Nisi. SLANDER.—TDOMPSON V. MIDDLEHERST. Mr. WILLIAMS opened the pleadings, and Mr.' SCAILLETT stated the facts, to support which he called the following witness Ann Clare—Her husband is the landlord of the Eagle and Child inn, at Wigharn ; Thomson was at her house, in com pany with a person of the natue,of Lloyd, on lOth May ; he it was at seven in the evening. She remembers the Liverpool is Collector of Assize; there Were other persons in company ; coach•arriving ; the defendant alighted from it, and stepped into the bar, when he began to addresshimsetoJohn Thomp son, the plaintiff', whom, he said., was a dam lr ned thief, a rogue, a villain, and a rascal, and that he had robbed him of our or five.pounds ; the plaintiff never replied to tliits language; he continued to utter this abuse; she d es ired him to come out of the bar, as he was conducting, himself in a very ill manner; ho said he would not, and said Mr. TllolllpsOV's father was an honest man, but that. " his son was a damned rogue, a thief, a villain, and a rascal ;" he stopped two hours abusing. On the next morning he called, and expressed his sorrow for what he had said, and regretted that lie did not come out of the bar when she had advised him, and that it would be a serious eon se9uenee, as the plaintiff' bad before forgiven bins for a similar offence. The other gentleman desired him to hold his tongue. He appeared sober at the time, although he had several glasses' of liquor. Mr. SCAR LEvr—This is our case. Mr. BUOUGHAM—ReaIIy it' we are to have such Case* as this day after day, we shall never get done. The Assizes have already been a fortnight, and they might be a fortnight longer adjusting such drunken foolish squabbles, if they were not marked by nominal damages. The plaintiff' rested his action on the word " thief," well knowing that the other words were mere froth. The Learned JUDGE said there was no question but that the words spoken were actionable. No man said you are a thief • and have robbed me of money, without imputing to the person the crime of felony; and this being- proved, the question was, what damages the plaintiff' was entitled to ? It had been p roved i that this had not been the defendant's first offence. The Jury gave—Damages M.—Costs 40s. DRURY V. BRIGG. This was an action to recover a penalty of the defendant for selling various articles as an auctioneer without a licence. It was proved by a person of the name of Abraham Muss, that he had put up to auction a pair of candlesticks, &c. at a room kept by a person of the name of Stokes at Liverpool. The Jury under his Lordship's directions found for the plain tiff on the first count—Penalty Dol.—Costs 40S. WHITEHEAD V. FORSTER AND OTHER:. Mr. Po t. Loc K on behalf of the plaintiff stated that this was an action brought to recover a compensation in damages for a wan ton trespass committed by the defendants, by turning the plain tiff' and his three sisters out of possession of their cottage. It appeared that the father had been in unfortunate circumstances and taken the benefit of the Insolvent Debtor's Act. At the sale of his father's (insulvent's) effects the son attended, and bid 1 for a great part of the property, and was declared the purchaser i of several lots, with which he furnished the cottage and stocked the farm, under which roof he sheltered the family. The goods so bought by the son were taken in eit,:cution for rent due by the father, and sold by auction for nearly 2001. Mr. Strlcatit CROSS for the defendants contended the goods so taken were the father's, and that a fraudulent transfer had been made. After several witnesses had been examined, the Jury found for the plaintiff' fur the trespass, and for the defend, ants on the other pleas. . DOWAUD v. MATTHEWS. Mr. SCARI.ETT stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover of the defendant the sum of 1,5(101., being so much money bid for a public-house, known by the sign of the Old Swan.in Liverpool, which the plaintiff (tad caused to be put up by auction at the side. A person of the name of James Parker, as his agent, had been instructed, at the i nstance e f the d e f en dant to bid - for, and it was knocked down to him for this sum. A contract to pay the same was entered into, and a de posit of ten per cent. was to have been paid. It was set up on the pea of the defendant, by Mr. Serjeant eitOSs, that his wife had authorised the bidding, and that it did not bind the husband. The Junior was of a contrary opinion, and that an action might be sustained for the deposit of ten per cent. which had not been paid ; and the only question for the consideration of the Jury was, what damages the plaintiff had sustained. It was his Lordship's opinion that some damages were due, but not the whole as laid in the declaration. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 1001., costs *Rh. CEARNS THE YOUNGER AND ANOTHER (ASSIGNEES OF BOARDMAN A BANKBUPT) v. TIMMINS. Mr. SCAwI.ETT stated that the plaintiff's were the assignees of a person of the name of Boardman, late of Liverpool, a bank rupt, who in the year 1821 had become embarrassed, and hail made an assignment of all his effects to the defendant, for the benefit of his bona fide creditors, to whom the defendant acted in the capacity of trustee, although there had been no d e ed . Since his bankruptcy the defendant had come into the possession of considerable effects, to the amount of 17001. to recover which the present action had been brought. The property in question arose from the freight and net proceeds of the bug Shamrock, and the schooner the Morning Star. The act of bankuptcy, had taken place so far back as October, 1821, and which he should have no difficulty of proving. The act of bankruptcy was proved by . a person of the name of George Scott, an apprentice formerly in the employ of the bankrupt, by three distinct denials of his m as s etr. I am not ()n one par ticular occasion, he said, "if Rose home." • Henry Hilton, a Sheriff's officer, proved by a warrant which he produced, that he had arrested the bankrupt at the suit of a creditor of the name of Rose, on a bill of exchange for 1201., dated December 19, 1820, which had been noted. James Watson t h e solicitor under the commission , put in the com mission,' dated 10th June 1822, and the name of the defendant, Timmins, WI the petitioning creditor. The bankrupt passed his examination on the 9th of July 1822, and signed the tle. position. Mr. Se rjeant Caoss replied, and said his client was at the mercy of a single witness (Scott),and no less a sun) than 13001. depended on the credit the Jury gave to his testimony. The Learned JUDGE charged the Jury, and said this was enaction brought by the Assignees of Boardman, to recover possession of a large sum of money. His Lordship then stated the Acts, of Bankruptcy, which he thought had been proved by George Scott, who had been ordered to deny his master ; and, if they believed him, and he saw no reason why the Jury should not, then their verdict would be for the plaintiffs. The Jury, under his Lordship's directions, found an Act of Bankruptcy had been committed on the 28'th October, and that the defendant knew of it at the time--s übject to a rule of refe rence of the Court as to the bankrupt's account.—Verdict for the plaintiffs accordingly--Damages 4,oool.—Costs 40s. M. Ouvio.ao, the great contractor, has idst his suit with M. ScQuiN, according to a late de cision of the Courts at Paris. This will subject him to the payment of three millions of francs — about one hundred and twenty thousand pounds sterling. it may not he generally known, that by e an Act of Parliament ( 6 Ann e,ca p . 31), the churh wardens of every parish in London and West minster are directed to fix pluga,or fire-cocks,in the streets ; and, in default thereof, are liable by to a penalty of 101 .

Mr. M Essrr E a told the accused that the charge against him was of a serious nature, as he had been Actively engaged in endeavouring to induce the soldiery to throw otitheir allegiance' to their sovereign, and to rebel against their superiors. Mr. Hale denied that he had any such intention. . . About eighteen pamphlets were produced, and several bundles of similar publications unopened, which has been taken from the accused on his apprehension- •Tlie bundles were marked " Chatham," " Maidstone," " Canterbury," " Sandgate." " Dover," and" Deal." .

Mr. Hale replied that there was nothing secret about his conduct, and he did not hesitate to ad mit that such was his intention. Mr. 111EssiTEn.—You were down here, Mr. lisle, a few weeks ago, and delivered pamphlets to he soldiers, were you not ? Mr. sale.—Yes , I w a s, Mr. MEssrrE it.—These publications. though they pretend to be religious works, are of the most mischievous, tendency.

MEssrrEu.—Wliat is your object ? Mr. Hale.—My object is to put an end to war and bloodshed. and thealaughter of my fellow-men; and I advise the soldiers to obey the word of God, rather than the orders of men.

AlEssrrEa.—lf the soldiers were to fellow your advice, they would be guilty of mutiny. Mr. Hales.—lf they would follow my advise, they would lay down their arms. Sir J. WEBB.—Your object, Mr. Hale, seems to be similar to that of a great number of deluded and wicked men, who, about five years ago, attempted to excite rebellion throughout the country. I should like to know who you are Mr. Hale.—l reside at No. 3, Thomas-place, Lambeth ; and I have till lately kept a shoe and boot.warehouse in the Strand, and in New.street, Covent-garden. Sir .1. WEBB —How long have you been circulating these publications ? Mr. Hale.—About six months. Sir J. WEnte—Vou are a mischievous person, and will tind that you had better have kept to your trade. A druminer-boy at the Woolwich Illirracks was sworn, and stated that the accused, on Saturday morning last, gave hint five pamphlets to distribute to. his fellow.seldiete. Ile pro-, duced them : they were entitled The Two Opinion:. A corporal proved that the accused came to the gate of the barracks on Saturday afternoon, and asked him if he might go into the berrack-rooms and distritiute pamphlets ? He re.' plied, that be had better ask the sergeant of the guard. The accused then went into the guard-room, and asked the sergeant if he might distribute some pamphlets amongst the privates ? The sergeant replied that he bud better not ; and at that mo ment the privates put out their hands, and the accused gave them some of the works, which the witnesses produced.

Sir J. WEBB told him it was not for him, an ignorant per. son, to expound the laws. Ile had violated a statute by omit ting the printer's name on the pamphlets, by which he had subjected himself to penalties amounting to several hundred pounds. Mr. Hale referred the Magistrate to the imprint—" Printed for anti published by (i. Hale, 3, Thomas's-place, Lambeth," and said he was nut aware that more was necessary. Sir J. W EBS .---' That shows your ignorance. W ho is the printer? Mr. lisle gave the name of a printer in Shoe-lane; and said he knew they were afraid of meeting him upon the merits of the work, and if Government prosecuted him for the unin tentional omission pointed out, it was an act must cruel and cowardly. Sir J. EBB told him Government was inclined to act to. wards hint with lenity, and the only object was to stop hint in t os illegal and dangerous a cou: He wished him (Mr. Hale) a aay, whether he would desi st from publishing these pain. phlets if he were set at liberty. Mr. Hale.---" If I were set at liberty now, I would distri.' bute them again, and ant ready to answer for what I have done before any tribunal. Answer me by arguments, and not by. threats." The Magistrate agreed to transmit to the Secretary for the Home Department the documents taken from the prisoner, to have the opinion of Governmenthow to proceed; and the ac cused was remanded. The Magistrates informed him that they should not send him to a prison, but he should remain in custody of a constable at a tavern, as it was fat from their wish to place a man of respectable appearance amongst the wretched creatures in the cage. Mr. Hale thanked the Magistrates for their gentlemanly conduct. Yesterday Mr. Hale was again brough t u p on the application of a friend of the accused, to obtain the precise charge against. him. The Magistrates first refused to say what he would be, ultimately charged with, whether for sedition or for the Ornis aion of the printer's name ; that it would depend on instrue• tions from London. Sir J. WEBB said the Magistrates were responsible if they acted illegally., and asked if he was a profession al man ! lie replied that he was not ; but he should bring one on be half of the prisoner on the re-exam nation. The Magistrates hail no objection. 524w0"01(illit.1.1wd'ianallsebYtsi.hltalisiedpaittatcllaaibetrdArsit.ry;.ntiitalisiPeamrheasledeettoe a d dressed xp n trodlinanfylwftrhirAeendtilit'Yo4 bailn: answer i t ' M ag ist ra te*hhe w eirm a t s en t a n stated dw c h ar ge, ta re t aton t rn h ltla e i for n a him. t c l c el accu s ed ge oid a tf t. ho td ra t h f. ii bad thrown fi n al hhehrena examination wouldwv i n ou h r a I fumes, a fin - n b dth u a l s sure a .with'. they h et i yo k k bitfit7iTilwthevhoee:vbtohilaiencledk;iasahfrteaaccothifthii,rarwesretia'lalinstSorbaeletitigititeKrrsocnlna.l:tilel Regent 's -park,l . , ' . fe t t a l en r :' ar to a. ti c t on e v t ,A t eet y oto WEAIIIIIII IN VIE NORTII.—It appears that n g oodeal of min havirig fallen on several the weather best *goodas unfatoarable for the harvest in 'vented reaping.
