SONG—Mr. HARLEY
Most tish that inhabit the sea,
With my net I ran take now and then,
Yet how touch more skilful is he,
Who can thrive as a liA;,:r of men
For dire some are simple a, dace.
And greedy as gudgeons a few,
Yet 1 fancy that is not the ease
With a lawyer, a maid, or a Jew.

Your lawyer. some say, is a shark.
Yet lie preys both by land and by water.
And perhaps 'twould be nearer the mark,
If we dubli'd him a black alligator.
To catch final, there is but one rule.
One rogue can but hamper his brother,
And they tell me, like pikes in • pool,
Your lawyers will bite one another.
In cunning a Jew has no match.
He'll slip through your hands like an eel;
And maids are still harder to catch.
When of youth the first blushes they feel;
But with patience an angler must wait.
Till older and older they grow.
When, hike trouts, they'll all rise at his bait,
Though a feather's the very first throw.
We perceived with con,iderable surprize that the
above piece has been withdrawn.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Anus 97•

It must be fresh in public recollection, that in November last
a case of elilld•dropping• was investigated at the Police-office, in
Hatton-garden. in which a midwife, and a female of repectable
connexions (mother of the child). were supposed to be implic-.iteif.
The officers of the parish in the precincts of which the child was
found. conceiving the case to be of such a nature as to *demand
vublic investigation. d, ten:tined to bring it before a Court and
Lire, and this day the midwife and the inot.:er if the infant were
indicted for a conspiracy to drop the child i but eller a trial.
w, lasted several hOUra. nutthesliihteet evidence was adduced
which could at all connect the mother with the exposure or de-
sertion of the mild. Her only object. as far at she was cat•
cones, appeared to have been to conceal, if possible, the liuth of
-the child from her relatives.
The jury. after an eloquent appeal from Mr. Scarlett on behalf
.of the mother.and from Mr. Curwood on the part of the midwife,
returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

BOXING.

Such a fight as that between Robert Purcell and
M' Dermot, the Irish navigator, on Wituldedon Com-
mon on Mund.sy, is very rarely 'Nitric: Axed, and .for
real courage certainly never was excelled. Pur-
cell was before known to tile tin.; as the bravest of
brave men, who shook his head ut all times at a
blow, not to shrink from, Lut to return to it us u
real Englishman would face a gun His recent
victory ut Norwich was obtained by a rare specimen
of manhood, and in this conflict we cannot trace his
equal in courage, excepting in the man who eon-
centested the palm with him. M'Eturmot was only
known as a man who taiuld take his part well, and
that of u friend or two to bIOOL, upon an emer-
gent occiftion, and his bravery in casual terns-up
had eaciicd so much admiration that he was backed
fur :.33gs. against Purcell. The diversified group of
pugilistic admirers, enthracing much variety of pa-
tricians and ph:Limit of various saris, surrounded au
inner ring of z t feet.
Purcell at length threw in, his caster, followed
by nis seconds, Shelton and Richmond, and M‘Der-
mot soon after tidlowed with Paddington Jones,
and Toni Reynolds. _ .... .

THE FINaINCE.S.

We understand 44 the Customs and Excise
`J)uties are now daily paid in Exchequer Bills,
consequently the .cash that ought tube received by
those Zepartruents (and paid Amer to the Bunk in
consequence of the loan of 8,500,0001. granted to
to the • minister on the duties receivable uu the
Consolidated Fund between October and January),
is now in great part received in exchtquer UJIs ;
and we are thereflire, at a loss to know how the
Batik will pay the January dividends, unless by an
advance of from 10 to I millions on the Cvnaioli-
Atted Duties, that may be receivable between
January and April. We cannot,but look with
great alarm at our present unflinded debt, which
the minister told us wits to be so much reduced

"be tolerably cureeet.:—

£32,133,882 Total amount of Unfunded Debt at present. which
is equal to Go millions of 3L per Cent. at 66.
In this amount of stock we have included that

deficiencies of 1819 and 1820, and which, if added
would make our total and actual amount of, funded
debt nine huedred millions, instead of.eight, as it
is now generally quoted. Can we look at this
enormous debt Without alarm, when we see the

corresponding weeks of the last year. near 120,0001.
uud every one pay know that the duties on spirits
and tea will alone fall off from one to two millions
per year, and we fear the latter sum is most likely
to be nearest the actual deficiency. What panacea

ASSIZE OF BREAD.

Mr. Alderman Wood wished to call the attention of the
Conn to the subject respecting the assize of bread. During
the time he bad a seat in the last Parliament he had frequently
bad conversitions with Mr. Frankland Lewis on the effect
of the alterations which had been made, and had expressed
Ids opinion of the necessity of sonic inquiry being made hs
the act lately passed. Mr. Lewis admitted the necessity of
inquiry, bat tio,eght it lead better not be then ccinmenced iu
Parliament. To- this opinien he had assented, but it appeased
to him that the present recess of Parliament was a proper
time for an investigation in the City. It would be easy for
the gentlemen of the Common Council to collect in their dif-
ferent wards such facts as would enable them to judge whe-
ther or not the alterutien of the law had bean beneficial to the
public or not. In saying this, he meant to express no refire.
tiun on the alteration. though he certainly had his own opinion
on the subject; all tact lie wished for was, that an investiga_
tion should be entered into. He would therefore recommend
the appointment of a coennittee to inquire whether the repeal
of the assize had been advantageous to the public. The
inquiry, lie thought, might be concluded in time to enable the
committee to report before the meeting of Parliament, or at
least early in the session.
The Lord Mayor thought an inquiry necessary, and agreed
in opinion that it could best be accomplished by a cosn-
nettee of that court.

Mr. Samuel Dixon thought the subject tow hick the worthy
A:dcrman had reterred, one of very great importance. The
alteration u fact! had been made in the law, he understood,
inn! been merely a matter et experiment. It was fit, therefore,
that the effect of the eltaage in the law should be ascertained,
and he hoped the subject would undergo a tall investigation.
It was afterwards referred to the Bread Cot iiiii ittee, to con•
eider the propriety of applying to Parliament fur the repeal
.of the act doing assut v the assize.

Daniel Thomas, and Sarah his wife, were brought up old
examined ona charge of crnelty and ill treatment to Francis
Otterway, a child 10 years of age. It appeared on examine_
Con that the unfortunate girl was the daughter of the female
prisoner by a former husbard, aud siace her second marriage
she (the mother) resides with her present husband, at No.'f,
Princes-street, Gibraltar-fields, Befit-eat-green. The neigh-
bours had been continually annoyed by the piercing screams
of the child. Some of them-remonstrated with the mother,
but without avail. The screams were still heard -rari:or
more piercing than ever, till Saturday week, when the err
became more penetrating and heart-rending than usual, aiR
the neighbours flocked before the door, when it was discover
ed that the mother was holding her for the father, who, with
all his :night, was flogging her with a cane till her body was
covered with weals and bruises. Theneighbours gave infor..
mation to the parish officers, and a warrant was obtained
against the mother and father-kt-law, and ihey were now
brought forward and examined at great length, as were The se-
veral witnesses. The prisoners, who were methodists, pleaded
religion in defence: they would not 11.-e any stranger's child
in so bents! a manner as represented, much less their own
child. _ _ _

The worthy Magoiatrate observetli that lie feared they were
wolves in sheep's clothing ; it was evidently more than proper

jury. They must find bail. The prisoners were committal
