Poetri. SONG. Why dost thou not respond, my lute ? Awake once more thy gladsome lays I Not wont wert thou to linger mute. When youth's bright course were triumph days. Those days are past—and with them gone The buoyant feelings of thy mind ; And cant thou, then, expect the tone Which charmed thee once again to find I Awake, awake, my own loved lute! I care not now, whate'er the strain— But best some mournful air will suit A heart where griefs alone remain. How can I sooth thy heavy care ; Cold is thy touch upon my atringa-► J sang of Love !—of Hope I—Despair Chills every tone which Mem'ry brings! No more may the delusive themes Of Hope, or Mem'ry win mine ear 13e hushed - thy chords! for startling dreams Are those which to Love's wand appear The Pest, it may be thought regret— The Present, it may saddened be — The Future! if it glitter yet, Reject not what it offers thee. LO, THE LIMES OF THE FIELD. Lo, the lilies of the field, Ilow their leaves instruction yield ! Hark to Nature's lesson given By the blessed birds of heaven! Every bush and tufted tree Warbles sweet philosophy ; •• Mortal, fiy from doubt and sorrow, God provideth for the morrow ! " Say, with richer crimson glows The kingly mantle than the rose? Say, have kings more wholesome fare Than we poor citizens of air ? Barns nor hoarded grain have we, Yet we carol merrily, Mortal, fly from doubt and sorrow ! Cod provideth for the morrow ! " One there lives whose guardian eye Guides our humble destiny ; One there lives, who, Lord of all, Keeps our feathers lest they fall! Peas we blithely, then, the time, Fearless of the snare and lime, Free from doubt and faithless sorrow : God provideth for the morrow !" Iir.BLR. THS THELLUSON PROPERTY.—When the late Mr. Thelluson died, in the year 1791, his property produced an annual income of about £20,000 a year. By his will his property was directed to be accumulated in the way of compound interest, during the lives of all his descendants living at his death, or born within nine months afterwards. A main argument used against the validity of the trusts was, that from the ordinary duration of human life, when the accumulation ceased, the fund would amount to seventy millions, and that if the whole center e d i n a minor, he would, by the time he attained his full age, possess a revenue exceeding the civil list, and would be able, by the mere force of wealth, to derange the civil polity of the country. These were magnificent dreams, but the waking reality has proved somewhat different, and so far as the ultimate issue can now be guessed at, there seems no Freund for the alarm above suggested. No descendant of Mr. '1 helluson will be richer than the King, and even if Schedule A bad still been in existence, it is to be doubted if the most judicious application of the Thellu son property when full grown would purchase a step in tip Peerage. In one word, the gross annual proceeds in 1801, exceeded £20,000, as above stated; and the gross proceeds in 1831, after thirty years accumulation, in the way of compound interest, amounted to £22,000 and a fraction. The net sum paid into the accumulating Auld in the year 1828, was £16,000 and a fraction, in the year 1829 it was reduced to £12,000, and the addition made to die accumulated fund iu the year 1830, bad shrunk to £10,540. The error of this testator was, that he considered enormous wealth as a positive good, without reference to its enjoyment; and the fruit of his care and pains has been to occasion a waste of property altogether unexampled in the affairs of an individual. His fortune is still completely locked up, and the accumulation is proceeding at the snail's pace above noticed, while his descendants are struggling with all the hardships which attend narrow circumstances. It is well known that the fortune of the present Lord Rendlesham (the son of the testator's eldest son) it perhaps insufficient for a private gentle man, and totally inadequate to the support of his rank. His brothers are still more slenderly provided for, while some of the descendants of another son are actually suffering all the miseries of destitution. The first gleams of light disclosed land. It was a long blue looking ridge rising_ out of the water. A gun was fired, which brought a pilot: We learned, as he stepped on board, that the land before us was the Isle of Wight, and that we were near Cowes. All eyes were upon him as he passed along the deck. The-first person that comes on ship-board after a voyage seems like a new link to human existence. When he took his station at the helm, I heard the commodore ask bow the Needles bore ? "Ahead north," he answered. "Does the wind set right, and have you enough?" "Ay." This closed all dialogue, as far as I heard. He remained at his post, giving his laconic or ders. In good time we approached the Needles—the spectable was grand. Our officers gazed in admiration; the very men, who swarmed upon the deck, made a pause to look upon the giddy height. The most exact steering seemed necessary to save the ship from the sharp rocks that compress the waters in to the narrow strait below. But she passed easily through. There is something imposing in entering England by this ac cess. I afterwards entered at Dover, in a packet from Calais; my eye fixed upon the sentinels as they sloWly paced the heights. But those cliffs, bold as they are, and immortalised by Shakspeare, did not equal the passage through the Needles. '1 here was a breathless curiosity also in the first approach, aug menting its intrinsic grandeur. In a little while we anchored off Cowes. If the Needles were a grand sight, the one now before us was full of beauty. Castles, cottages, villas, gardens, were scattered on all sides. When we left our own country, the leaves had fallen, and the grass lust its green; but now, al though the•season was inure advanced, and we had got to a higher latitude; a general verdure was to be seen. This was doubtless the effect in part of exquisite cultivation, and in part of the natural moisture and mildness of the climate of this part of England. As we looked all round after so immediately emerging from the gloom of the ocean it seemed like enchant. ment. * It is a remark of Humboldt, that no language can express the emotion that a European naturalist feels when he touches for the first time American land. May not the remark be reversed by saying, that no language can express the emotion which al most every American feels when he first touches the shores of Europe? This feeling must have a special increase, if it be the case of a citizen of the United States going to England. Fler fame is constantly before him. He hears of her statesmen, her orators, her scholars, her philosophers, her divines, her patriots. in the nursery he learns her ballads. Her poets train hi s ima gination. Her language is his, with its whole intellectual riches, past, and for ever newly dowiug—a tie, to use Burke's figure, light as air, and unseen ; but stronger than li n k s o f i ron, In spite of political differences, her glory a llu res hi m; i n sp i te of hostile collision, he clings to her lineage. After Captain De eutur's capture of a British frigate, some one asked him if his forefathers were not French ? " No, I be pardon," he an swered, "they were English." In that spirit would his coun trymen general!) , answer. Walking the (leek with tw o o f our lieutenants, while sounding up the channel, Think," said one of them, "that wg may be in the track of the Armada!" and they talked of the liesome queen at Tilbury. These are irre pressible feelings in an American. His native patriotism takes a higher tone from dwelling on . the illustrious parent s t oc k,— places and incidents that easgbshinen pass by fill his imarn a .. tion. He sees the past in coil: sanction with the present. 'I hree thousand miles, said Franklin, are as three thousand ye a r s .— I n tervention of space seems to kindle enthusiasm, like inter *ention of time. Is it not fit that two such nations should be *friends Let us hope so. It is the hope which every minis ter from the United States should . carry with him to Eng land..

Let it be generous, never paltry, never malignant.—Rusles Narrat i ve of a Residence at the Court of London. THE LIVERPOOL STANDAIiffr. THE MEETING OF THE NATIONfa UNION. Notwithstanding the proclamation issued by the Secretary of State, warning the public not to assemble in Cold Bath-fields (in pursuance of a placard, to adopt measures which might ap pear most effectual to obtain redress from Parliament,) which proposed meeting being illegal, a number of persons (about 300) had assembled as early as eleven o'clock, and continued, increasing in number until the moment at which the proceed ings of the day were commenced by an address to the people, when there were as many thousands. The hour appointed for meeting was two o'clock, and in the interim, from eleven, the peo ple formed groups, and the discussions were such as to inflame the minds of the auditory. A man, dressed in a new white hat, was exciting the people by reading portions of The Reformer, and kept continually urging that people in such an emergency ought openly to carry arms. Large detachments from the different 'divisions of police were in the neighbourhood at an early hour, and it was asserted that the military were in the prison. The principal rendezvous for the police were Dawson's Riding-school and Busbridge's livery stables. At two o'clock, 20U of the D division were marched from the west end to Busbridge's, and were received by the mob with hisses and groans, which they bore patiently, but as they were entering the gateway several stones were thrown at them, and then the last section turned round and rushed into the crowd, and seized several who ap peared most active, and took them into the stable-yard. Shotly after a waggon drove up to the open space in the field, and a person prepared to address the dense crowd which had now col lected; but the driver, perhaps fearful of the consequences of his rash conduct in embarking in the affair, turned round and drove oft amidst the groans and hisses of the crowd. A man then stood on the railings, and addressed the people in a most revolutionary speech, and said the Government had threatened them, so that by exciting their feelings they might be brought to act offensively, and give a pretext for their being led to slaughter; but he hoped they would be peaceable and orderly. A most fearful shout burst from the lips of the crowd, and showed the people had been roused almost to a pitch of madness by the revolutionary doctrine which had been inculcated in them by their discussions, and they declared their resolve to meet in spite of law or force. The speaker (who it was said had suffered im prisonment for a political offence at Birmingham) asked them if they would support his wife and family if he fell a martyr to the cause—if they would he would fearlessly speak his mind; he was answered by loud cheers, and an answer in the affirma tive. The Union, who had been anxiously expected all the morning, at that moment made their appearance, and the accla mations of the populace was deafeuing; then all was silent, whilst they formed round the speaker. The Union consisted of about 150 persons, and the following banners were carried : "Liberty or Death," with a skull and cross bones on a black ground and red border, " Holy Alliance of the Working Classes," " Equal Rights and Equal Justice," "a Tricoloured Flagr " the Republican Flag of America, " and a pole with the Cap of Liberty. They had, however, scarcely got upon the ground before a detachment of the A division, (supported by some other divisions,) led on by Superintendent Murr a y a n d i ns p ec t ors , marched into Calthorpe-street with the greatest order and preci sion. Their promptitude and formidable appearance seemed to make a momentary impression on the mob, but a person, pointing to the banner of Liberty or Death," shouted "Men be firm." This was sufficient to rouse their feelings, and with bitter exe crations against the police be called out " Down with them, Liberty or Death," and appeared determined to resist to the utmost, and their actions bespoke a deadly struggle. "Go on, go on," resounded from all sides to the speaker. The division of police had halted in the middle of the street, and received renewed orders to act calmly and with forbearance. They then walked forward, with their staves in their hands, merely clearing their way through the listless observers, who had been attracted to the spot, and, pressed forward directly to the man who still continued to address the mob. The meeting of the parties was terrific. They were instantly attacked by the mob, but the conflict was but of a minute's duration, and the sound of the blows, and the most heart-rending shrieks of the women who had obtruded themselves into danger, and when a slight clearance was effected at least twenty men were prostrate on the ground, with blood streaming from their heads, showed, a fearful result. Some were completely stunned, and were drag ged on one side to the steps of the doors; but the most melan choly part of the affair remains to be narrated. The D division had issued from the back of Busbridge's stables, in Gough-street, and met the crowd, or the A division would have suffered very severely. Serjeant Harrison, of the D division, was the first who seized a banner, but received a violent blow on the arm. Robert Cully, C 95, and his brother, made up to another, when, dreadful to relate, Cully received a wound in the abdomen, in flicted by a man who carried the banner, who was imm e di a t e ly taken. The poor fellow fell back and instantly expired; his brother had a severe cut on the wrist, a nd S er j ean t Brooks was also wounded, besides several who received tremendous blows, amongst whom was Serjeant Tierney, A 11, S er j ean t s Oli c k and Sinclair, A 77, who succeeded in taking several banners and the staves or truncheons alluded to. The people, however, rallied in the open space by the prison, and made a short vigor ous attack on the police, which was instantly and effectually re pelled, but not till they had attempted to rescue the banner of • Liberty or Death" Com Serj cant Tierney. The police were then formed into lines, extending across the different streets, for a quarter of a mile round the place, and every party of three or four was instantly ordered to " move on." In Gray's-inn lane, on the N division clearing the place, one man took . a stone to throw at the policeman who was ordering him off, but his arm was arrested by another policeman. An united shout of " Heave it—stone the ——, and an immediate rush of the populace into the middle of the road, where there were fresh-laid granite stones, and were on the point of commencing an attack, but a spirited movement of the whole division, and the capture of the ringleaders, arrested the further progress of th e th re aten e d danger. s the H division were marching from Coppice-row towards the fields, they were assailed with groans, and a volley of stones, one of which struck a policeman on the head, and cut his hat through. This was supposed to have been thrown from the top of a house in Margaret-street, the roof being covered with a number of persons, who indulged in the bitterest invec tive against the force. Several persons were arrested in the street; and had it not been for an expected rising in the fields, the house would have been entered. At four o'clock all was comparatively tranquil, but it was feared that, from the disposi tion of the people, evening would bring on an organized attack. The prisoners must be very numerous, as the A and D divi sion alone have 25 or 26, amongst whom is the supposed mur derer of the unfortunate Cully, and the speaker who first addressed the meeting, but from the great excitement it was impossible to obtain positive information. The writer heard from general report, but cannot vouch for the fact, but is fear ful his information is too true, that a little boy was knocked down and trampled to death; several persons were about the streets still clinging to their original design, although they were watched by the police. For the conduct of the police too much cannot be said; the writer himself had to thank them for their forbearance, or he should have had many a blow, as lie was accidently mixed up with the rioters. EXAMINATION OP THE PRISONERS AT BOW-STREET, ON MONDAY NIGHT. In consequence of information received at the Home-office, that a meeting of the Trades' Political Union was to be held iu Calthorpe.place, grey's-inn-road, in the forenoon of yesterday, a body of police, amounting to nearly 1,500 men, taken from the different divisions, were placed in the neighbourhood to prevent any illegal assembly of the people, a notice having been previously issued from the office of the Secretary of State, cautioning the people not to attend the proposed meeting, as the civil three had directions to put it down. It appeared, Low. ever, that, notwithstanding this notification, which was pla carded throughout the metropolis, since Friday last, an assem blage of persons, carrying union banners, marched to the . ground, and were proceeding to carry into effect their proposed plan of forming a nation-al convention, when the police inter fered, and the circumstances took place which will be found de tailed in the following evidence taken last night, at Bow-street, before Sir F. Roe, Mr. Minshull, and M r . Halls, against the persons who were apprehended by the police in the course of the day. We regret to say that a policeman named Robert Culley, C division, No. 95, lost his life in the affray, and that a serjeant of the same division, named Brookes, who was stabbed in the ribs, was last night given over. Robert Tilley was the first prisoner brought forward. He had his head tied up, and complained of being faint from loss of blood. The prisoner was remanded until Thursday next. James rursey was then placed at the bar, on the canital charge of stabbing Henry Redwood, police-constable C; 146, who stated that he was on duty that afternoon, in Calthorpe plce. There Were then a ssem bl e d a b ou t 4,000 0r5,000 persons. a WWitness was advancing in front of his division, for the purpose of dispersing them, when he saw the, prisoner in front of the snob, holding the American colours in his hand. Witness told bins to deliver up the colours, which he refused to do, and wit ness then seized him by the collar. Directly after, wit ness saw th e p r i soner ' s r i ght hand raised in the air, holding a long shining blade, and at the same instant he received a stab in the left arm from a sharp instrument. Witness let go the colours, but held the prisoner fast with his right hand, and never let go his hold instil he delivered him up to his brother officers. l'he three-edged dagger now produced is the same with which he was wounded by the prisoner. Two policemen corroborated this evidence. Sir F. Itoa said he should not call upon the prisoner for his defence at present, as the charge was one which affected his life. The prisoner, who had his head tied up, denied the charge, and complained of having been struck by the police in the first instance. He was then removed in custody for re-examination, it having been stated that Sergeant Brookes, of the C division, who had also been stabbed in the ribs by the prisoner, was in too weak a state to give evidence of the fact. It was also stated that the prisoner attempted to stab Superiutendant Baker, of the C division, and that he would have accomplished his object but for a constable, who knocked him down at the moment his arm was raised to strike the blow. Richard Egan Lee, was charged with uttering treasonable and seditious words, and with printing a pamphlet entitled " A Whisper to the higs; or, What is Treason ?" Sir F. ROE, held him to bail himself in £2OO and two sureties in £lOO each, with forty-eight hours notice of bail. Several other Rersons were also held to bail, In every case in which bail was taken the prisoners were ordered to give 48 hours' notice of the sureties they meant to propose, in order that their solvency might be inquired into. The examination did not conclude till half-past 11 o'clock, and the evidence was forwarded directly to the office of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. The prisoners were conveyed to Clerkenwell, in the prison van, strongly guarded. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—SATURDAY. REX V. LORD TEYNIIAM AND DONLAN. This was an indictment for a conspiracy, preferred by Mr. Dedimus Langford against Lord Teynham and the other de fendant, for having, under false pretences, obtained from him the sum of £1,400. The defendants pleaded not guilty. The Duke of Wellington was introduced to the Lord Chief Justice, who invited him to take a seat on the bench. Sir JAMBS SCARLETT opened the case to the jury. He stated that this was an indictment against Lord Teynham, a peer of the realm, and a person named Donlan, for conspiring to de fraud the prosecutor of a large sum of money, under pretence of procuring for him a situation under government. He (Sir J. Scarlett) regretted extremely that a peer of the realm should be implicated in such a charge, and the more so, that Lord Teyn ham should be so implicated, as he had been engaged as counsel for him on a former occasion. The learned counsel then recited the circumstances of the case as they were proved in evidence, and concluded his observations by stating that the prosecutor obtained no situation, that no part of the money was refuuded, and that the whole transaction showed that the defendants had conspired to obtain money from the prosecutor without having the means of procuring for him a situation under government, as they had pretended they had the intention and ability to do. Mr. Dedimus Langford examined.—Am not now engaged in business. In October, 1828, I was desirous of obtaining em ployment, and I applied to Mr. Erle, who introduced me to Mr. White, from whom I procured an introduction to Donlan, the defendant. White introduced me to Donlan, at the residence of the latter, 32, Duke-street, St. James's. Donlan observed that he understood from White that I wanted a situation under government, and that he had agreed to procure me one for £1,400. I assented, and he said it would be necessary, in order, to keep me to my bargain, that I should leave some kind of se curity of money. I told Donlan I had £3O about me, and that I would leave that. He agreed to receive it and observed that it, would be necessary to obtain £1,400 in iiauk-notes, and to place the halves of the notes in his custody till the situation was ready. On the 15th of October I instructed my broker (Mr. Stokes) to sell out £1,400, which I received in fourteen £lOO notes, all dated October '2. I got one of them changed at the Bank of England. The next day I went with White to Don lan's house, and told him that I had come to deposit the halves of the notes, which, added to the money he had before received, would amount to £1,400. (A note signed by Donlan, and ac knowledging the receipt of the money, was read.) On the 16th of October, Donlan told me that Lord Teynham was to procure me the situation; he said he would introduce me to his lordship, and he gave me a card. A few days subsequent I met Lord Teynham in Donlan's drawing-room. His lordship took me by the hand, and said his friend Donlan had informed him that I was in want of a situation, and that he would procure me one. He observed that he had interest sufficient to obtain for me a si tuation in the Treasury, commencing with £2OO per annum. Two or three days afterwards I received a note, stating that his lord ship would pay every attention to my interest s . It was s i gne d "1 eynham , and was in his lordship's handwriting. Donlan then applied to me for the halves of two £lOO notes, as his lordship, he said, was much in want of cash. I gave them to him, and received an acknowledgment in writing. It was produced.— After that I frequently called to ascertain if Donlan had heard from Lord Teynham; and I subsequently received this note, which requested me to call next morning, as he had had a par ticular communication from his lordship. I went, and he gave me this letter, which is from Lord Teynham :—lt ran as fol lows:—"I have just seen my friend at the Treasury, and he will shortly be able to succeed." Donlan then asked for the cor responding halves of two of the other £lOO notes. I agreed to give them, believing what he said was correct. I frequently called afterwards to know when I was likely to obtain the situa tion. In consequence of receiving a note trom Donlan I went to him, and he then asked me for the half of another £lOO note. I gave him one or two, which altogether made £7OO h e h a d re ceived. In January, 1829, I received a note from Donlan, saying that "Our noble friend says he shall be in town soon, when the business shall be completed." An appointment was subsequently made, and I went with Donlan to Lord Teyn ham's. His Lordship apologized for haying kept me so long out of the situation, and remarked that his friend. the Duke of Wellington promised to fill up the situation in a few days. I requested him to hasten it as much as possible, as I was living on the interest of my money. On the 9th of February, 1829, I received a note from Donlan, "requesting inc to call on the following Thursday." I did call, and Donlan told me the situa tion was going on—that nothing under heaven could keep me out of it—and that I might rest sure of having it in a few days. [Several letters from Donlan to the prosecutor were then read; they all promised that he should have the appointment iu a few days.] 1 called repeatedly between the receipt of each letter. One day I requested he would let me have either the situation or the money returned, and I insisted on seeing Lord Tevnham. An appointment was made for me to see his lordship, who, on the day mentioned for it to take place, did not come. Another appointment was then made; I kept it, and then saw Lord 1 eynham, who again apologised for having kept me so long out of the situation and money, and repeated that his friend the Duke of Wellington had promised to give me the situation in a few days. I received a letter on the 21st of May, 1829. It informed me that Lord Teynham had told him he hoped the situation would be filled up in a day or two. I called on the succeeding Monday. He told me the situation was ready, and that it was ordered I should be called to duty in a fortnight. On the 30th of May I had another letter, begging me to call. I did go, and he told me the situation was ready, but that I should have to take ass oath that I had not given anything for it. I replied, rather than do that I would forfeit my time and my money also, but that I would rather have the money back. lie said that could be managed, ibl* I had only to give up the other halves of the notes to his lordship, w h o would give me a bond for the amount; and that as soon as I had got the situa tion I must restore the bond. An appointment was then made, and it was agreed that., on the 4th of June, I should give up the remaining half notes, and should receive! the bond. I 'went on the 4th Juue, and took the half notes (£700). Donlan re. quested me to wait. Lord Teynham came in a few minutes, but was introduced into another room. Donlan asked me to give him the half notes, as his lordship might have an objection to receive them from my hands. I then began to suspect there was something wrong, but I gave him the half notes. He left the room, and returned and took me to his lordship. I saw the half notes, together with the corresponding halves, close to his lordship's hands. Lord Teynham told me the situation was ready; that 1 was to be called to duty in a fortnight; that his takitig the money in that way was to enable me to take the oaths; and that it was his intention to take me to the Treasury in his own carriage, and introduce me to a situation which was good enough for his own son.—[Th e bond was produced, and witness deposed to having seen his lordship and Donlan place their signatures to it.] I saw Donlan between that and the Midsummer following ; but do not think I saw his lordship within that period. Donlan at those inter views repeated what he had said - before the bond was signed, and he asked me if I should not like to have six weeks' leave of ab sence from my situation in order to improve my handwriting, which he said was too stilt L did not object t o the six weeks' absence, as Donlan said the salary was to go on, and that if I liked I could be absent for two six weeks. Shortly after the 4th of June, Donlan asked me whether I knew of anybody who was competent to undertake the superintendence of a material for soldiers' trousers. I said I would, as I had been brought up to the trade of a fancy silk weaver. I entered upon that occu pation. I did not see Lord 'Teynham for some months after the bond was signed. When I saw Lord Teynham he said the sa lary was going on. He did not define what the duties at the Treasury were to be,444st -saidthe hours of attendance would be from 11 to three o'clock. The name of another noble lord was mentioned during the treaty ; it was that of Lord Ellen borough. On the day of signing the bond, Lord Teynham, as Donlan said, returned immediaely, and said that he had just met Lord Ellenborough, to whom he had mentioned his inten tion of banging his young friend down to the Treasury in the following week. It was Donlan who told me that. At the ex- piration of the six weeks nothing passed cuses on the part. of Donlan, who said that on, though there was no occasion for my ati of the (Ace.
