Boileau, being one day visited by an indolent person of rank, who reproached him with not having re turned his first visit; " You and 1," said the satirist, " are upon unequal terms. I lose my time when I pay a visit; you only get rid of yours when you do so." LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1827. LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. IS. OLI.VEIRA V. TAYLOR. This was an action on a bill of exchange for - ),0081., accepted by the defendant for a person of the name of Wildman, and by Wildman given to the plaintiff, to secure certain sums sent by the plaintiff to him. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL understood the de fence would be, that the' transactions were usurious, but he had no doubt the defence would fail.—The bill was put in, proved, and read. Mr. PoLLocx, for the defenCe, stated that the plaintiff had been in the habit_of lending to 'Wildman large sums of money, and taking bills in seeurity. The way in which the transactions were. usurious was this. First, interest for the sums lent was taken at the beginning of the year,, instead of at the end; as, suppose 1000/. were the sum. lent, only 9501, of this.was paid, .50/. being at once deducted. Second, Mr. Oliveira was in the habit of taking interest fo r stuns which he really had not advanced; as, suppos e Wildman wished to borrow • money, he mentioned the sum he wanted, and then proceeded to find out security, which it sometimes took a -considerable time to obtain. The money was not advanced till the security was provided, but . inte res t was c h arged firm the time the loan had been applied for. Lord TEN TERpIiN said that it mattered nothing' whether the interest was taken at the' beginning or end of the year. As to the second objection, there was nothing in ii t ; since M r . Oli Ve i ra a l ways k ept the money ready to be advanceil when the security should be provided, and could make no use of it himself in the meantime.—Wrdiet for the plaintiff, 2;008/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, OCT. 18. HARWOOD V. GREEN. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday:) Mr. Sergeant TAnDY made a most powerful reply, con tending that the statement of the defendant was most un justifiable ; that it had been, and would still be, most prejudicial and destructive to the fortune and expectations of the plaintiff; and that therefore it became the duty of the Jury to award most ample damages. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up. The question for the juiy was most important. The communication, —the subject of the libel, could not be looked upon by the Court as a privileged communication, because a Lieutenant had no right to make any such communication, true or false, to Lloyd's, or to any other quarter, but to his Majesty's War Office. With respect to the first charge in the alleged libel, the Court's opinion was, that the defendant had distinctly proved it, namely, that according to the chart the plaintiff had not kept the proper course. Again, if the defendant's witnesses were to be believed, the plaintiff had not anchored at the time it was his duty to have done, namely, when the ship was in 10 fathoms water; that the plaintiff had left the ship too for a considerable time in a most perilous state was decidedly made out. On the whole, it appeared to his Lordship, that the allegations were completely made out, but it was for the jury to say whether or not they were of the same opinion ; if they were, their verdict must be for the defendant,' and if they were not, for the plaintiff, but the damages must be the smallest possible. The Jury retired at twenty minutes: to four, and at five o'clock returned with a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 50/. SUICIDE. A Yesterday evening an Inquest wavheld by , STIRLING, Esq., Coroner, a t • MiddlesX4lriApitali touching the death of Maria b l / 4 southcote;vila Wtterest ing' young woman, 21 years of age, who terininated .her v i volence by taking a quantity of oxalic acid, under the following melancholy circumstances Mr. William Campbell, Portman-square, surgeon, on Tuesday, about two o'clocl7 in the afternoon, saw the deccase4 lying down at the door of a house in Adam-street, labouring under symptoms of having taken poison. She was taken into witness's house. After having administered such medicines as were calculated to afford relief, she was removed by her friends to Castle-street, where he attended her. She confessed-to Lim that she had purcha sed two ounces of oxalic acid, and had taken about one. The remainder was found in her reticule.— Understood from her that she was enceinte, and in consequence of that a dispute had originated between her and her relations, which led to the fatal act. James White, Edgeware-road, about eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, saw the deceased in a dejected state in Cumberland-street, crying. As he was going home to his dinner, about twenty minutes before two o'clock, he saw her. again in Seymour place, still crying. He passed on, and having had his dinner, on MS return was attracted by a crowd at Mr. Campbell's door. Upon going to the spot, he. saw it was the same young woman he had seen before; she was taken into Mr. Campbell's shop, where medicines were administered, but she seemed then in a dying state. A Juror—Pray, Mr. Campbell, how far do you suppose the deceased was advanced in pregnancy ? Mr. Campbell—As far as I can judge, about six months; the paper containing the remainder of the oxalic acid was distirictly marked " poison." Juror—How cameyou to know where sh e lived Mr. Campbell—She informed me, in a short con vemation she held with . me ; and when .she appeared a little better, I sent for a coach to take her home. James Kelly, of 76, Castle-street, deposed, that the deceased had lived as house-maid for the last two years with Mr. Husband's family, at No. 25, Newman-street. She quitted her place on Friday last, as he understood, with a view to better herself: o She had no father or mother, and came to his house until she could procure another situation. Witness's wife was the deceased's sister : they.were not aware Of her situation until after breakfast on Tuesday morning, when witness's Wife taxed her with it; she confessed the filet, and named a young man who worked for Mr. Husband. Some high words en sued, and deceased shortly afterwards quitted the house. About four o'clock in the afternoon of the sane day he received information of the state in which the deceased had been found,; and witness's wife wentlimmediately to her. She was brought to witness's house; and from thence was removed to the Hospital. Juror,--Did the deceased quit the house in the height of passion, without taking her clothes ? Wit ness—Yes, she did. , The Jury, having viewed the body of the unfor tunate young woman, after a short deliberation re turned a verdict of "'Temporary mental derange ment." APPREHENSION OF ANOTHER GANG OF by the Mint authorities , Limbrick, Edwards, L , and loyd Conixas..—ln consequence of private information received Kirby, officers of Hatton -garden, and a constable named Reynolds, proceeded house, situatein Reynold ' s court, b e t ween Wh i t e - s t ree t on.

Considerable difficulty was in the first place experienced in findi ng t h e b ac k en most secretly situated in th e b ac k y ar d of trance, it b e i ng an adjoining house. The necessary arrangements being ultimately made, Limbrick and Lloyd entered by the front door, which was on the latch ; round a table, before &very clear fire, they saw six persons, three men and three fe males; who immediately jumped from their seats in the highest confusion, and the sound of money falling on the floor was distinctly heard. Edwards and the other officers had by this time found the back entrance, by which they now gained access, and joined Limbrick, and the whole party were immediately secured, handcuffed, and quietly conveyed to the, lock-up room at Hatton-garden office...— They were afterwards placed before Mr. Sergeant Sellon &nd remanded, LITERATURE. THE PLEA OF THE MIDSUMMER FAIRIES, &c. By THOS. HOOD, AUTHOR OF " WHIMS AHD ODDITIES." London, 1827. The major part of these poems are penned in t h e most afflicting spirit of Cockneyism. We h av e all the pastoral and colloqUial affectation of Mr. .Leigh Hunt, without one-tenth part •of his fancy ; the mythological conceits of Barry Cornwall, without his redeeming tenderness ; and the quaint phraseology of Elia without his subtle h t it enlightened cast of thought. Mr. Hood has acted the resurrection-man towards Oberon, Titania, Robin Goodfellow, " and the rest,?' not reflecting for an instant that though in Shak speare's when they formed part an d p arce l ofti in t a i t7ional belief, they were in strict accord ance with probability, and consequently required no great stretch of the imagination to clothe them in bodily substance ; yet, that in the nineteenth centurythe age , of enclosures, joint-stock com- F panies, and universal education—they are mere tasteless puerilities. Even so far back as 1630, the witty Bishop Corbett wrote a poem, lament ing the general scepticism respecting fairy-land ; what thew shall be said of the judgment or goOd taste of a gentleman, who nearly two centuries later comes forward with a laboured account of a covey of sylphs, which he had put up on the banks of the Lea, near the. Horse and Groom, Amwell ? But besides this defect, Mr. Hood is the very last man whoM we should suspect of being on intimate terms with the fairies. We cannot conceive the author of Young Ben a nice yoang man, A carpenter by trade, Who fell in love with Sally Brown, • As was a lady's maid, on social terms with the delicate and poetic Ariel; Puck, or Pease-blossom. We can allow him to be acquainted with Snug the joiner, Bottom the weaver, Flute the bellows-mender, or Snout the tinker, but our credulity will carry us no further. Mr. Hood's fairies, in contradistinction to those of Shakspeare, have a strong spice of the Cockney about them. Though naturalized on the banks of the Lea, we could swear to their having been born within the sound of Bow bells ; indeed, we think we have seen Puck, or the model from which he was drawn--officiating as Boots Junior,' at the Cat and Bagpipes, in Shoe-lane. But to proceed to our analysis. The poet describes himself as taking a solitary vvalk by the Lea, near Amwell, thinking of Tithe, the faller of decay, when suddenly he pops upon Queen Titania and her Court, all in lull-dress. Her Majesty remarks what a fine night it is ; and straightway desires " a goblin" to summon all her " lieges" to enjoy it. The goblin, thus admonished, makes a .rumpet out of a rose's cheek, which same cheek Immediately utters forth •a shrill, small skid( Like a frayed bird in the grey owlet's beak ; whereupon the " loyal fays" come thronging in likg cock " chafers." The Queen then tells them of an unpleasant dream she had had (night-mare probably, proceeding from. indigestion) about a " cursed bird when some fresh bruit Startled , niettell-ahterp. We have before observed that Mr. Hood's fairies have a Cockney cut about them, and the half line in italics; proves the justice of our re mark, as it is manifestly drawn.from the counter or at any rate, from Mr. Pubster, the city grocer,* whose friend, Torn Hicks, had eaten " such a sight of oysters that they stuck all cheap in him." This " her , Majesty adds proceeded from _ _ The horridest shape that ever raised my awe; to wit, a noisy old gentleman, named Time, whose .foggy breath Blurrel out the landscape like aight of smoke. (Has not Mr. Hood mistaken a steam-boat for Time ?) Be this as it may, just as her Majesty is describing the: horridest shape," in the shape walks, thus verifying the adage—" talk of the devil," &c., and startling All close aheap those small affrighted things. The Queen immediately addresses him, (and con sidering her si ze ) i n a to l era bl y l ong speec h, i n which she implores him to save her and her's— for it seems the old gentleman was going to mow them all down—durin g which oration Pack was seated on a spider's thread That hung between two branches of a briar, And 'gan to swing and gambol heels o'er head. We are pretty sure, that we have seen this said Puck—or an urchin very like him, acting as Jack Pudding, at Bartholomew Fair ; he was a little disguised in liquor , at the time, neverthe less we can almost swear to his identity.: To resume, the Queen finding remonstrance useless, catches hold of Time by the knee-pan, which the poet tells us is remarkably " gristly," and implores him to Think his murder worthy of debating,. He, however, only answers by a speech of pre cisely the same length as her Majesty's ; upon which she proceeds to reckon up the good deeds of herself and fairies, as thus : we tend upon buds birth, and blossoming, And count the leafy tributes that they owe, As, so much io the earth—so much to fling In showers to the brook—so much to go In whirlwinds to the clouds that made them grow. i T ed h g is e Last passage convinces us that Mr. Hood's fairies are all C,ocknies ; for it is nothing more nor less than the rhymed transcript of a citizen's as Counsel —so mu a c s h ti t i o us rl;;.

In spite of " her pets" he still remains listening e T d im efe e n , with as much impatience to her and her fairies' common " Pleas" as if he were Chief Justice thereof'. Finding this to be the case, she per petrates another speech, in which she says, If ever thy sweet son sat on thy thighs, ~ (a very poetic place for a son to sit on), For love's dear sake let us thy pity wi n . It grieves us t o add that Time still holds out, observing, evidently under an irritation of the gastric juice, that I would consume effectually all youth Atoneg her INI great tm meal.

PRICE ID. ing himself with throwing summersets, a piece of heartlessness which • so shocked the poet that he turned bilious upon the spot, or, as he more poetically observes, . - ----- it raised my bile To see him so, reflect their grief aside. We would recommend him, should he ever again . catch Puck " a pleasuring," to fortify himself with Dixon's anti-bilious pills ; they are very good and cheap, and taken in barley water just before - bed time are sure to correct " aci dity." When the woodsman has ended, the " spiteful shade" Time replies, that he is an old stager, not to be easily done, and that he has seen - infant Titans of enormous girth, Whose huge young feet yet stumbled on the rocks, Stunning the early world with frequent shocks. What huge feet they must have had ! He adds, moreover, that he does not care a curse abOut them all; whereupon another fairy, a very gen tlemanly sort of sylph, jumps up and tells the " spiteful shade" how that very morning he had saved a gentleman from drowning himself in th e Lea. Just, as he has concluded, Arid sets to, and swears that he cut a man down who had hanged himself in his glutei's and then gives way to a third fury, who had found a baby in the bull-rushes and turned himself into a grass hopper in order to attract the notice of the passers by. The baby thus providentially dis covered becomes, in after life, a great citizen, ur, as the fairy says, • But how he prospered let proud London quote, 110 w wise, how rich, and how renowned he got, And chief of all her citizens, I wot. The author does not say which citizen it was lorho was ,thus picked up in the bull-rushes and " got renowned," we conclude, therefore, it must have been the Lord Mayor —or, peradven tore, one of the Sheriffs, either of whom are men eminently worthy of such a poetic origin. When this fairy (to use a sea-phrase) has " brought his jawing tacks to an anchor," Puck (the Pet of the Fancy) resolves on a set-to with Time, who, being one of the big weights, takes the shine out of him in something less than ten minutes. Luckily, just at this crisis, Shakspeare (so we suppose) appears, and after making, a long speech, compels the " spiteful shade" to give up all idea of mowing down the fairies, upon which they return their deliverer many thanks, the curtain drops, and—" exeunt orrineq. The poem of " Hero and Leander," in point both of conception and execution, is equally defective. Every one knows the story—it is a painful one of human passion and suffering (the mere recital of .which must be effective) yet, Mr. Hood, instead of trusting to nature for success, has encumbered it wilh cold mytholo gical conceit. Leander, in the recorded le- . gena, is wrecked in sight of Hero, who stands unavailingly watching his last. struggles from Abydos. This, in the hands of a true poet,. would form a very impressive incident ; but our author, who seems to have as much notion of taste as - a cow has of a clean shirt, has conjured up a sea-nymph, who seizes his hero by the nape of the neck, arid so drowns him out of sheer affec tion.. .Perhaps this may be intended as an imi tation of Marlowe, who wrote a striking poem on the same subject. But why did not Mr. H. rather imitate the passionate feelings depicted by that great writer, than his quaint mythologi cal absurdities? But besides Marlowe, he has also imitated Shakspeare's " Venus and Adonis ;" the very structure and quaintness of verse, some thnes even the very words, are borrowed from our immoral dramatist. The phrase " coffer lids," for instance, applied to Leander's eye, is manifestly taken (sed quantum mutatus) from the following beautiful couplet in " Venus and Adonis :" She lifts the coffer-lids that close each eye, WI-ere lo ! two lamps burnt out in darkness lie. Mr. Hood's tale is something to the following effect :.--t-Leanyler, after taking leave of- Hero, sets out on his return across the Hellespont, in doing which— - With deep sighs he blows away the wave; (conceive a man blowing away a wave with a sigh), after which tremendous exertion of lungs, he looks up and finds the sun holding a close conversation with the world, By this the climbing sun, with rest repaired, • Looked through the gold embrasures of the sky, And asked the drowsy world how she bad fared ; Tht drowsy world shone brightened in reply. Immediately after this, Leander looks up a second time (still swimming), and sees just two yards off his nose a woman —no, not a wo man, but " a woman's double" whose " polished brow" is an ample plain To lodge vast contemplations of the main. The most extraordinary brow we ever yet heard of. This " double" turns out to be a Siren who is in the habit of destroying people, As drowsy men are poisoned through the ear. From which we derive the highly valuable in formation that men (provided they be drowsy) are poisoned through the car." The " double, " struck by Leander's beauty, falls in love with him ; it turns out, however, to be no go, for she not only throttles him, but bears his body away to her coral palace : upon which, Mr. Hood rapturously cries out 0 sad marvel ! oh ! most bitter strange ! Strange indeed, for a lady to throttle a gentle man, by way of showing her affection for him. While this " double" is carrying off her sweet heart, a variety of fishes are seen swimming by, which Flash small lightnings from their vigorous tails. A manifest plagiarism from Maw-worm, when he described the boys as " tying brick-bats to his pious tail." Arrived at her palace, the " double" tries every means to resuscitate Leander; but finding (to use a vulgar but ex - - pressive phrase) that he is " as dead as mutton," she Backward falls, like a pale prophetess. A circumstance which leads us to conclude that all pale prophetesses fall backwards. After try ing all possible methods to restore animation in her lover, the afflicted " double" carries him in her arms to the sea-shore, but finding that The sand is Cot",n , whereupon he lies, Soiling his fairness ; (she must have thrown him into a ditch) —she swims away to look out for a cleaner birth ; but, on her return, finds that some fishermen (resur rection-men, no doubt) have walked off with the body, whereupon— she rends her hairs And casts them forth, sad keepsakes to the wind. A fact which would have fully justified her friends in instituting a Commission of Lunacy against the eea for life, and so the 'st.othryineknildig that M r . s. In running over its various eccentricities we can scarcely Hood must have been ii; the condition of Leander when he wrote it, that is to say, half seas over, for we never remembet to have perused such a tissue of absurdity. in addition to the peculiarities of expression in which it so luxuriantly abounds, we find such classical phrases as " flourished fortunes"— " builded gloom"--" passioned hands" —" ruth ful dolphins"—" slanderous sparkles"—"frayed Leander"—(the word frayed is repeated about two dozen times in the volume)—" foamy waves"—" pearly breath"—" freezy blood" " frosty nips"—" crumpled cheeks' —founting " springs bloomy rain painful fingers"—" plumy trees'—" bunt i ng willows"----" blue peeps of sky s— nobe " l ver h d a a v n o t c p s: t — s noon-tide sweats mumping mouths'•— " bloody morts'•_...“ breezy t r avels"---together with a choice assortment of " spidcrs"—" pis mires"—cock-chafers"--.." Gnomes" —" gessa mers"—" Dryads"—" Southwark tumblers"— " violets"—" pansies"—" daffodils"—" cow slips"—" the river Styx"—" dolphins"—" quick sands"—" Sirens"—" school-boys"—" shady fishes" &c. ; so that, in fact, the volume may be looked on as a choice verbal, botanical, mythological, zoological, and physiological vo abular). - It is but justice, however, to state, that in several of the miner poems, where Mr. Hood (laying aside an affectation suited !Tither to his age nor his country) has trusted solely to his feelings, he has exhibited consi derable tenderness and prettiness. This leads us to hope that his present disease is not alto gether incurable, and that he may yet live to achieve some poetic composition which may keep his name green in the recollection of his readers long after his present puerilities are forgotten. TRADE WITH COLOMBIA. Sitt.—l have the honour to transmit to you; for the information of the merchants and ship-owners engaged in the trade of Colombia, an extract of IL Decree, establishing Buenaventura into a free port. —The future advantages to be derived by British trade from an intercourse with this now insignificant and miserable place, would be by an exchange, free from all duties, of British manufactures for the pto duce of the. province (which abounds in mines of oro corido, or gold-washings), and that of the rich but distant vallies of Popayan and the Canca. This produce would consist of sugar, cocoa, coffee, the Pitoyo bark, and fine woods, but the return in these articles must not, for some time, be considered equal to anything like an extensive importation.— The Bay of Buenaventura is exceedingly spacious and secure ; the channel of entrance to it, however, having only nine feet at low water, and 24 feet of depth at high water, while the depth of water in the bay runs from 27 to 50 feet. Vessels visiting this port ought to be coppered, as a protection against the Brows, or ship-worm, common to this as to many other ports of the Pa cific.—l have the honour to be, &c.

Davy is one of those great discoveries to which, in modern times, the combination of genius and science has given birth. The beneficial consequences of the invention, in saving human life, are of a nature to entitle its author to the praise and gra titude of the country, for the important service rendered to m.ulk-ind. The intrinsic excellence of this ingenious contrivancc,. is not, however, confined as to remedy against Fire-damp. The enlightened research and scientific merit of the experiments which lead to the result, have opened a new field for investigation with ,respect to the qualities of foul and pestilential air in general. It is an obvious inference, that the same pre. cautions may be used, and similar expedients applied, as have proved successful in the safety lamp, to resist the influence of the different de scriptions of noxious air—whether Miasma, Malaria, Fibrite Contagion, or an accumulation of Carbonic Acid Gas. It has been casually observed, that silk of the texture of a common handkerchief possesses the peculiar property of resisting in. a great degree, the impression of many kinds of contagious dis ease ; and it may, perhaps, •,be found • by expe riment, that this article of domestic fabric will constitute, by its effects on the pre-=disposing cause, the instrument for accomplishing, per fectly, so invaluable a purpose. If, as is sup posed, the poisonous matter is received through the lungs, it is not difficult to account for the action •of this very simple preventive, on the same principles as the gauze wire acts in the safety lamp. It is well known that the nature of these poisons is b,e such, that they are easily decomposed, and that by feeble chemical agents. Now, it is pro bable that the heated and compound gas which proceeds from, the lungs, and which forms an at mospherel;3)3o swsaegres utoffi w ct i ih t ee h n i ti n nto th ou e dt el: althoughgauzecosoveeil th it may o e miasma fsi k may in i hax t :e s true that the mechanical texture of the silk covering will itself act as a non-conductor, and prove an impediment to the transmission of any deleterious substance. , In order to demonstrate the truth of this opinion, some further experiments respecting it should be instituted, and it surely is worth the attention of physicians to try whether this simp le expedient may not answer the object in view , and be effectual in p reven ting the communica tion of contagion. It would be an a dvantage to disseminate this piece of knowled g e, should it prove such, that those who hav e an opportunity, may repeat the experiment, since it is simp le and within ever y f t this i s with v aiu a theble quality success one's reach. Should the result corres p ond with the trials h already made attendedan ex d is b t e ence o anticipated,ajnllstiillkatillthiegt be ascertained beyond doubt, and the remains is with respect to the mode Of applying it to the purpose designed, which w o u ld be a subject of detail, and could be a matter of no great difficulty.
