THE PAUPER'S FUNERAL: A ror:Tic SKETCH There is a music melancholy, sad, Breath'd' from the Ocean's breast,—upon the ear The murmuring hollow moan of Autumn's breeze Falls mournful, and the loud and ravingblast, Forcing an echo from the 'Cavern's bars And rugged sides, makes wild and - gloomy cadence. But, oh ! much more than these there is a tone, Whose dull monotony and solemn depth,. Blend awe with sorrow. 'Tis the funeral knell, The voice, with which the grave demands its prey !. Bark ! forth it peals,—and though the air is fill'd With sounds of busy life—.'tis heard, o'er all r Whom doth it summon from this restless world ? Is some proud son of luxury compell'd To lay his pomp in dust ? That bell with full And deep sonorous throat seems meet to bid The lofty to their home. But 'tie not so, It chaunts its dreary melody alike For rich and poor. And now, its measur'd swell Tolls for a child of want,—a Pauper's Girl ! Amid the City's noise, and through the din Of crowded streets, with steps of heartless haste, The humble group advances, mark'd by none, For there is nought of splendid pageantry, No titled state, no gorgeous liverietl'train . To court the eye of wonder, or the gaze Of idle curiosity arrest. No feather'd banner waves its sable head, Type of a renal, fawning, crying world, Obsequious to the Great, though in a shrowd ! The hand of Parish bounty pampers not To Vanity's conceits, or false parade ; lint here the kindly and the sacred claims Of soft Humanity are unfulfill'd._ • Von simple tenement, whose walls are built, To guard their inmate through the lapse of ages, Will make but weak defence 'gainst Time's assaults The Pall that o'er its coarse rude form is flung, Soil'd, torn and scant, scarce hides it from the view, But though thus bared to scrutiny, the throng Pars on, nor yield a look, a sigh, or tear, — None mourn for Juiia—Julia, friendless, poor ! Yes one, her Sister.—She to, when she was In health and peace, in pain and sickness, still The sum of every human hope and joy— She follows close ;—her slow and faltering gait, Would fain reprove the heartless haste of those Who hurry on her idol to the tomb, — She treads along in solitary woe, The emblem of her own deserted state— Her eye upon the-eoflin rests, with fled And changless gaze—no other object sees. That eye was brilliant once, but now the tears. Which from its sunken lid in torrents gush, Both hue and brightness dim. The blazing Sub . Glares on her thin wan cheeks, as if to chew )low fair a soil have care and anguish pbugh'd ; Fe: 'tis not Time'sscmorseless march has dug These furrows in her face,—her years ate few, Though long and_tlreltr the race her soul has run. But rapture isnot ineasut'd out by space, Nor agony by span. '['he soul alone, eircu Inscribed, its limits. must decree.

EXCLUSION OF THE INQUISITION FROM ANT.. wytte.—So great was the influence of English Merchant adventurers in 1550, that when the Emperor Charles the Fifth was anxious to have the Inquisition introduced into Antwerp, the citizens had no other means for effectually in fluencing the Emperor against the measure, but to tell him, that the English merchants would cer tainly leave the country, if he brought the inqui sition there. This threat was effectual, for the Emperor, on a strict inquiry, found, that the English merchants maintained or employed at least twenty thousand persons in the city of Ant werp alone, besides thirty thousand more in other parts of the Netherlands. A GrNTLEM AN who belted deep happened to be standing behind the Countess de MoNTAunAN, who was playing. He put his arm over her shoulder, to receive an immense number of louis he had just won ; but on drawing his arm back aga►n, he let more than three-fourths of the money fall on her back : upon which she turned round to him and exclaimed," What !

WINTER HOME CIRCUIT. HERTFORD, DEC. 1. TILE KING v. WILLIAM FRATT. This was an indictment against the defendant for assaulting his father at Pirton, on the 17th October, with intent to murder him. It appeared in evidence, that the defendant and his wife lodged at the house of a Mr. Turner, at Pirton. On the night of the 17th of October he came home intoxicated, and quarrelled with his wife, whom he beat severely. Mrs. Turner interposed to prevent further violence, when the defendant turned upon and beat her in a similar manner.— Her husband then flew to her assistance. and a fight ensued between him and the prisoner. Mrs. Turner went out for assistance. She was followed by the prisoner, with the pin of the door in his hand. The prisoner's father, .Who lived ina neighbouring cottage, came to inquire what was the matter, and meeting his son, the latter knocked him down, and beat him with the pin until he beCame senseless..

RIOTING.—On Saturday night last a most se rious disturbance took .place at Wooton-under-Edge, which had nearly terminated fatally to many who were concerned. It arose from some men in the employ •of T. Neal and Son having consented to work for less wages than the masters had been in the habit of giving; and the whole of the factory where the men were employed became the object of the otherweavers' resentment; accordingly an attack was made by about ti or 700 of the dis affected upon one of these establishments., and which, although defended by the occupiers and sonie of their work-people, to the utmost of their power, they succeeded in getting into and de stroying some of their, clothes and machinery. The mpb became furious as far as regarded the windows, which became 'a com plete wreck, and those inside were obliged to have recourse to fire arms, and succeeded in effecting an escape after' wounding seve ral of the rioters. Application was made at Bristol for a mili tary force, and fortunately, on Monday morning, a detach ment of the Inniskillen Dragoons arrived, to the great satis faction of the inhabitants, since which the town has been com paratively quiet.

CREW pr THE ASIA AND ACHILLES.—Extract of a letter, dated ship Supply, Manilla-bay, April 10:—" I embrace the first opportunity of writing, by favour of Captain Horshell, of the American brig Essex, who sails to-morrow for Canton ; and as you will be surprised at bearing of my being here, I ant anxious to inform you, that Captain Harris, of the ship Re nard, and I have brought the officers and sailors of the Spanith line of battle ship Asia, and brig of war Achilles, of die same nation ; the remaining crew of these ships having revolted against their commander and officers, who were driven on shore at Umattie Bay, at which place I was anchor for the purpose of watering and wooding, and I was requested by their unfortunate commander in chief, Don Roque Gurusete, whe was Severely wounded, with some of his officers, to grant them a passage to Manila, and my former intention being for Ma nilla, 1 could not with humanity refuse their request, with promise of payment on the ship's arrival there, which I have already received." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Isaac Israel, ?this Jackso”, alias Dc Melheitn, a man who some time since was proprietor of a notorious gaming -house in Pall-mall, from which, and from another house of the same kind, he was brought more than once to this office, when those places were so often attacked by the Police, was yesterday examined on a charge of felony, commit ted, according to the evidence, by a most ingenius device. Mr. Adolphus attended for the prosecution, and from the evidence it appeared, that antecedent to March last, the pri soner had been often in the habit of pledging valuable proper , ty at the shop of Mr. Lawton, a pawnbroker in Green-street, Leicester square, to whom he was known as a gaming-house keeper. One day in that month he called at the shop, and told Mr. Burgess, Mr. Lawton's assistant, that he had sonic brilliants which he wished to pledge, and he was shown to a private room. He there produced to Burgess a packet contain ing a quantity of beautiful brilliants, and desired him to ad-. ranee as much as possible upon them. Mr..Hurgess examined and weighed them, and agreed to advance 1601. Mr. Burgess had had long experience in precious stones, and knew at once that those produced were real brilliants. The amount being agreed upon, the prisoner gave Mr. Burgess du plicates for a diamond locket and broach, some gold watch cases, a watch-movement, and other articles, which he had pledged some time before for 351. and desired to redeem them. The witness took the duplicates to fetch the articles, land by the prisoner's desire gave him back the brilliants, that ' lie might seal them up properly, He sealed•up a packet exactly similar to that which had contained the brilliants, and handed it over to Mr. Burgess, who was sitting opposite to him, and who put it into his coat breast-pocket, and then went to the cash box and fetched 1241. in bank-notes and sovereigns, being the balance due after the redemption, interest, &c. of the other articles. Mr. Burgess (as h e s wore) delivered over the money to the prisoner, upon the faith that the packet cont a ined th e brilliants he had first seen. He had no authority from his em ployer to advance money to any person, except upon receiving property of adequate value. Some time in June, in conse quence of hearing of frauds committed upon several pawn brokers, by the substitution of one parcel for another under similar circumstances, by the prispacr, h;. ripened the parcel left with him, and ft:4lnd it to contain only a parcel of small rubies and emeralds, worth altogether about 61. There was not one diamond amongst them- Mr. Adolphus said this was all the evidence he had to offer; but he presumed there was sufficient to prevent any thing like hesitation on the part of the Justices to commit for felony. 141 r. E. Isaacs (prisoner's Solicitor)—Felony, Mr. Adolphus ? Mr. Adolphus--Yes, certainly, felony: if aver felony was committed, it was here. Sir 11. BIRNIE said, that perhaps it might be called an ac cidental fraud, but certainly it must be admitted that the pri soner went uncommonly well prepared for it. Mr. HALLS said, he could not see one single teature of ' what the law called fraud in the transaction. It was a stealing from beginning to end. Mr. Isaacs then begged for a temand, that he might procure aomething like an equivalent to the talent opposed to him, in abler advise than his own ; and he might then be able to show, by evidence and argument, that it was not a case for committal for either fraud or felony. • Mr. Adolphus—Well, you had better let it be ajourned for a fortnight, and by that time the worthy magistrate will haie the benefit of the opinion of the Judges of the lane, for the prisoner will most assuredly be indicted before that period has elapsed. The prisoner, who, by Mr. Isaacs' advice, said nothing, was fully committed to Newgate • for trial, for stealing the dia.. monds, and the parties bound over to prosecute. The office was crowded by pawnbrokers who had been tricked in a sirn:!Ar manner, but who are left to indict at the Sessions. The prt- ' soner was brought up by Bishop. • UNION-HALL. ' CAUTION TO BUlLDERS.—Lastriight Mr. Cragg, Dis trict Surveyor, with Messrs. Meyrnott and Porter, att,:nded to ascertain the opinion of the Magistrates on the Building Act, as it related to a lodge now building in William-street, Kent road. A Mr. Hay had erected a large first rate building called a ". Refuge," and since the completion of it had united the building or lodge before mentioned to it ; in consequence of this alteration it became necessary under the Building Acts :o increase the thickness of the walls of the large building from. the bresummee upwards one brick. Against this construc tion of the Act Mr. Robins, the Surveyor, who conduc:s the building for Mr. Hay contended at great —The two Magistrates, Messrs. Allen and Chambers, after a most patient consideration of the cue, and after hearing a very ingenious argument from Mr. Robins, who quoted every section in the Act, decided that the Act was framed expressly to the public against fire, and they considered that Mr. Robins had taken a wrong view of use case, therefore the building should be altered within ten days, according fo the opinion of Messrs. Cragg arid Meymott. 1: Mr. Robins felt dissatisfied with that decision he was at liberty to appeal to the Oessions. Mr. Robins said that he was perfectly satisfied with the Ma gistrates view of the case, and it was not his intention to carry it any further. ROBBING 'FURNISHED LODOINGS.—A woman about Sit years of age was charged by her landlady with illetTally taking away the sheets and counterpane from a ready furnished lodg ing. The ease was proved against her in the strongest manner, when Mr. CHAMBERS recognized her as an old offender. She acknowledged it to be " her second appearance in , that cha racter," having been two years ago committed to Brixton far one month on a charge of a similar nature. The Magistrate told her, that he would give her a week to consider whether she would make known where she had disposed of the articles; if she remained silent at the end of that time her punislini,ent should be three months at Brixton, if not, only one month. William 'Jewett, a shipwright and' warrant officer, was brought up by Orossmith to Union-h.tll, who suc ceeded in tracing him to Bristol (where he went by different names), charged with having disposed of a great number of ar ticles,_ the property of Mr. Boggts, of Rotherhithe. With so much ingenuity did the prisoner and his wife decamp, that it required the most unremitting 'perseverance on the part of the before-named Officer to discover their retreat, and no small cre dit is due to the zeal and activity of this Officer, that he suc ceeded, in so populous a city as Bristol, in capturing the pri soner just as he was on the point of embaiking for Canada. ACCIDENT.-Yesterday afternoon, nho , it t o'clock, an Islington coach was overturnt.ll at the corner a Chancery-lane, in Fleet-street, by a coal waggon running spinst it. There was one passenger, a very lusty Laxly, ia_ aide, who was, of course, much alarmed, but neitker the ccacit. pan nor she was much hurt.
