and the light tones of music echoed from a mowerons

soh retired to her favourite tumweer-hosse, that termi-

It was a clear cloudless night, sparkling in all the beauty
of an Italisit sky, and studded with a million tin's uf
rich-

Poem Arousot..in consequence of the in.
terferenoe of mutual friends, the violent and unpro•
yoked assault committed by Thomas Horton, Esq.
one of the magistrates of the West Riding, upon Mr.
Lewis Alexa,,der, solicitor of Halifax, }as been
compromised without an appeal to the King's Bench.
By this arrangement Mr. Horton was required to
make a public apology to Mr. Alexander, on Saturn
day se'nn;ffit, at mid-day, in the magistrates %Ace.
and to koy the sum of 501, to the General Divers.
tory in that place. As the hour for making the
apology stomached, the inhabitants of Halifax
(whom this ornament of the bench had lately stig.
matiaed as cobblers and tinkers, for presuming to
dissent from an ultra-royal address i.f which he was
the author) began to assemble in considerable num•
hers, and at twelve o'clock the office was crowded to
excess, when Mr. Horton entered, and read &kW
the &glowing apology :
" I de hereby acknowledge, fully and unequivocally.
that I acted in a most improper manner, IN assaulting Mr.
Lewis Alexander, as I did on Saturday, the Id t)ecember,
1590, in this town, he having given me no provocation la
call forth sac* violent and autjustiflable conduct. And I
am anxious this may be accepted as an apology, as str
as owe gentleman cats make to another."-Aeed and signed
in open coon, at Halifax, in the presence of four 'aegis.
Crates.
—As soon as the apology was read, Mr. Horton pail
to Mr. Alexander 301 which that gentleman imme-
diately handed over to William Rawson, Esq. the
treasurer of the General Dispensary, to be applied
to the use of that institution.

On Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock, a
gentleman on the top of the Birmingham mail, whilst
passing over the Swillgate-bridge, 'mar Tewkesbury,
heard the groans of a person in distress, and entreated
the coachman to stop, when "pc proceeded to the
art, and found a man who had fallen into the brook
in a state of intoxication. Though it was such an
inclement night, the gentleman got into the water,
and, with the assistance of the guard, dragged the
sufferer out, and took him to the Hermitage turn-
pike. Here this humane character gave money to
some persons to induce them to take the poor fellow
to Tewkesbury : he was nearly frozen to death, bat
with proper assistance it is to be hoped he will rens-
ver. His name is Probert, late of Cliciwnlusna.
