POETRY.

' • LINES
Written on hearing of Lord COCultAueJ Arrival from
South America.
He is come front the clime of the sun—
From the beautiful land of the Free ;
Would ye know of the deeds he bath done—
" Of his march on the far distant sea ?
COloinbia in triumph will tell,
While he.r Sans shall sweep over the main,
How bravely, how nobly, how well
He bath struggled her Freedom to gain.
When she numbers her Heroes in war,
They will talk of the true and the brave--
In the field, of. theirmwn Bolivar;
Of Cochrane, our pride, on the wave !
The first of the foremost to dare,
Undaunted when danger is nigh—
In vic'try as forward to spare,
As in battle to conquer or die !
Then forget not, my country, his fame— .
But hailed and thrice honoured be he ;
For the deeds that encircle his name.
Are doubly reflected on thee.
And 'tis thine in thy freedom, to give
More than Senates or Kings can bestow;
For the voice of a people shall live
When their haughty oppressors are low.
0, Liberty ! hc,pe of the good,
And dread of the tyrants of earth ;
Though cradled in strife and in blood,
Oh, blest be the day of thy birth !
For thy pole star is up in the skies,
And thy flag o'er the nations unfuri'd ;
And theyne'er shall depart from our eyes,
But-shine and wave over the world !

MILTON'S POSTHUMOUS TREATISE.

We present our Readers with a further extract
from this work. The original, which is written
entirely in Latin, is supposed to be in the hand-
writing of one of the Poet's daughters, of whom
it is recorded that he' brought her up in the know-
ledge of, Latin and Greek. It is fortunate for
the literature of our country that MILTON found
an amanuensis in the domestic circle of his family;
for, as this and others of his celebrated produc-
tions were composed after the loss of his sight,
the rich current of his thoughts might not other-
wise have come down to posterity. It appears
evident that this work was intended by itsauthor
to be a posthumous publication. The ill odour
into which the late Protector's Secretary natu-
rally fell upon the restoration of royalty, is suf-
ficient to account for Milton's reluctance to bring
himself into public notice by challenging atten-
tion to a controversial work of this kind. In the
State Paper Office it was found, tied up with a
parcel of affidavits and documents connected with
the Popish plot of Oates, and the Rye House
plot. It had always been said by the Biogra-
phers of Milton, that a work upon the Christian
Religion had been confided by Milton to a Mr.
Skinner, one of the Bard's known familiar
friends. Among the loose papers found tied up
along with the treatise, or in immediate conti-
guity with it, was an original deposition of Titus
Oates, signed also by Sir Edmund Bury God-
frey, a few days before his murder, containing
amongst others the name of Skinner, as one of
those suspected of being concerned in the plot.
The probability, therefore, is, that this work was
seized amongst the papers of the Skinner, whose
name was here set down, and whose supposed
possession of a secret manuscript/of Milton might
have, led to his falling under the suspicion of Go-
vernment. This is the ‘4 strange eventful history"
connected with the discovery of the Treatise in
such odd company. The further we go into the
work, the more we are confirmed in our original
opinion of its practical and theological value.

MANSLAUGHTER.

Martha Franc-is was indicted for feloniously killing and
slaying her husband, John Francis, on the 7th of May, in the
parish of Trowbridge. The parties, it appeared, lived in the
neighbourhood of Trowbridge. about which they were in the
habit of hawking trifling articles for sale. On the evening of
Saturday, May 7th, they went into several public-houses in
Trowbridge. The man was observed to be intoxicated, and the
woman was heard to abuse him, chiefly on account of his fami-
liarity with other women, in the most violent and disgusting
terms. From words the transition to blows was almost imme-
diate. She knocked the unfortunate man down repeatedly, and
when he was on the ground kicked him violently in the
temples. She at length went away, leaving the deceased to
get home as he could. On the following morning he was found
lying speechless in the yard of a public-house, and died
immediately after. A surgeon described the injuries which the
deceased had received. His skull was fractured, and there was
a great quantity of extravasated blood on the brain. These
were the causes of the death of the deceased.

The prisoner, in her defence, said, that when she left her
husband, nothing had happened to him which could have oc-
casioned his death. She believed, and many persons had tbld
her, that her husband came by his death in consequence of his
having been suffered to roll about the streets all night, in a
state of intoxication. The falls he got were the cause of his
death. She protested that she had merely struck her husband
with her open hand, and threw herself upon the mercy of the
Court.—The Jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to
two months' imprisonment.

The ridiculous custom of ringing the hells of
the churches in the provinces during a thunder-
storm, and which has so frequently had a fatal
result, has lately caused a sad misfortune at
Taurissa, in the department of -Carcassone. A
storm having manifested itself on the 26th of
June in this commune, nine children went to the
church for the purpose of putting the bell in mo-
tion. They had hardly begun,
when the thun-
der shook the belfry and killed the eldest, a boy
of 16, and rendered insensible the remainder,
who were also much wounded, but by prompt
attention were recovered.—(French Paper.)

THE COLONIES.

The latest Quebec Papers, dated April 28, •in-
elusive, contain no article of . domestic interest
except the following : •
QUEBEC, APRIL 23.—Nineteen vessels have arrived from
Great Britain at this port since the evening of the 24th instant.
Their passages on an average have been about 27 days, the
shortest of them being 23 days.
A FIRE broke out last evening, about eight o'clock, in the
house of Mr. Etienne Robitaille, St. John's-street, St. John
Suburbs. The lower part of the house was occupied by Sir.
George Clancy as a dry goods' shop, and the fire broke out
there. It appeirs that Mr. Clancy; his wife, and family, were
all absent, and that the fire was first discovered by Mr. Robi-
taille, who occupied the upper story, by the heat and smoke in
his own apartments. When he went below he found tire shop,
completely in flames', and he had just time to &nforin his own
family, and to effect their escape before the whole house was
enveloped in fire. Nothing was saved from this house. The
adjoining house, also belonging to ,51r. Robitaille, was totally
consunn d. Those on either side, belonging to Mr. Etienne
Defoy and Widow Blois, of Ste. Foy, were only partly, con-
sumed, but are complete wrecks. The house on the opposite
side of the street, belonging to Mr. Gagnon, caught
fire several times but fortunately was not destroyed,•
although emptied of all its furniture. Luckily it was
calm, otherwise the damage among these buildings,
which are all of wood, must have been very great. A
number of the houses near to the spot were emptied and the
property they contained almost deStroyed, without much reason
and no advantage. This is an evil which ought certainly, if
possible to be remedied. All tumult and want of system at'
fires is fatal. Great exertions were successfully made to arrest
the flames by the Citizens and Military. 'No part of the,pro-
iierty is, we believe, insi*ed, except-that of Mr. Robitaille, the
policy on.one of whose houses covers only 1501. ; !drs. Clancy's
goods and furniture were insured for 400/. ; both at the Quebec
Fire Assurance Company. The loss sustained by many persons
to whoge•houses the:fire did not extend, but which were emptied
of their' contents, is very considerable, and entirely falls on indi-
viduals very little able to bear such losses. We hear that a
subscription is to be opened for them, to which the liberal public
of Quebec, we have no doubt; will largely contribute.

WEAZLES.

It has long been disputod point among Na-
. turalists, whether this singular species of animal is really so
bold or rapacious as it has been repreamted to be; the follow-
ing instance, however, which recently occurred. at Nether
Stowey, Soinerset, puts the question in a new and extraordi-
nary light.—One moonlight evening, a young farmer of the
name of Jackson,
_who. had been out merry-making, was return-
ing home by himself, " whistling as be went, for want of
thought," and had almost reached the border of a dark wood,
when he was startled by a shrill and unusurl cry. ...He was at a
loss to conceive from whence the sound could proceed, but his
doubts were at length resolved by seeing about 20 of thosc
animals suddenly emerge from a hedge and advance towards
Min. Overcome by curiosity, he stood watching their motions,
till at,last they actually came up to and attacked him in dif-
ferent quarters. He then thought it high time to offer some
resistance, and therefore laidabout them with a staff which he
carried with him. His atteMpti, however, were vain, for the
pertinacious weazles made a lodgment amongst his clothes, and
he could not posSibly shake them off': one or two entered his
coat-po:kets and tore theni to . pieces ; his small-clothes were
also muelfihattered in the affray. The young man was now
cOrnpldelyat a loss what measure to adopt to get rid of his
troublesome assailants. .At hist, however, he bethought him.
self of stripping off his coat, which he accordingly did ; but the
indefatigable weazles returned to the attack with fresh ardour,
and continued to annoy him by running up his legs and pinch-
inghis body. Jackson continued to struggle with them for some
time,, and, as a last resource, at length betook himself to his
heels, endeavouring by, every means to sbake.otihis antagonists.
After running for half a mile, and twisting and shaking his
bOdi in various attitudes, he succeeded in dislodging the
enemy, but receiveil sundry scratches, &c.. in the fray. Jack.
son could hardly believe the evidence of his own senses; hut.
alas ! the forlorn state of his person afforded too. trne a proof
of what had occurred. He reached home, when the- surprise
and consternation of his wife at his strange appearance may be
easily imagined. A t first she supposed that he must have been
attacked by robbers ; but he soon undeceived her, and related
the. whOle story. A hearty laughfolloNied .the xecital, and the
13,,w retired to bed wondering at the singular and unusual
occurrence.

were returning to town from a party at Philipsbargh avenue,
they were suddenly attacked by a gang of robbers. 'the gentle-
men, although unarmed, protected the Ladies with considerable
intrepidity, but wereoverpowered, and robbed of money and other
articles. This occurred atßallybough-bridge. Three gentle..
men were much beaten—we are sorry to say, Mr. Andrew Fer-
guson so severely, that fears for his life are entertained : he was
also robbed of his money and a silver snuff-box. Mr b'erguson
was• conveyed home in a very weak condition ; he is now at-
tended by Surgeon Carmichael.--( Dublin Correspondent,

great promptitude, in addition to the very active assistance of

that position, being unable to get either hack-
wards or forwards; and so firmly was it wedged
into the pipe, that the workmen were under the
necessity of opening the pipe lengthways to take
the fish out of it.

Mrs. WA Y LETT as Zeplwrinu, in the amusing
little Comedy of The Lady and the Devil. MN.

FASHIONABLE PARTIES.

The Duke of A Opal entertained a distinguished .party to din-
ner yesterday, at his house in Great George-street, Nirestminst:r.
The Earl of Lonsdale had a grand dinner party yesterday, at
his house in Charles-street, Berkeley-square.
Lord King entertained a large party to dinner yesterday, at
his house in Dover-street.

The Countess of Gladlis gave a splendid rout yesterday even-
ing, at her house in Privy-gardens, which was very fashionably
attended. _

Lord Bexley had a grand dinner party yesterday, at his
house in Great George-street, Westminster..
Lady 0. Cavendish had a grand musical party yesterday
evening, at Burlington House.
Lord Carrington had a large party to dinner yesterday at his
house, Whitehall.
General Ross entertained a large party to dinner yesterday,
at his house in Portland-place.
Almack's Ball, on Wednesday, was very numerously at-
tended.

Of late years there has not been such a mg-
nificent and expensive display of courtly state and diplomatic
greatness, as what is about to be made at Paris and Rheims by
the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND. The plate which his
Grace took with him was insured as being of the value of one
hundred and twenty thousand pounds, and the jewels are
reckoned at the same amount. Two days ago a box was sent
containing the Duchess's jewels, which was insured at 60,0001.
value. The Duke may be absent about six weeks, and, at the
most moderate calculation, it is thought he will expend .50,0001.
The Parisians are in admiration of his splendor, and wonder
at his disinterestedness in paying all the cost out of his own
pocket.
Extract of a letter dated Brussels, May 8:—" The tragedy
of Jielisarius yesterday attracted a great crowd of spectators,
whose numbers may be accounted for from the various circum-
stances which combined to give interest to this representation—
the subject, the first performance of a work unknown in the
place of its composition (Paris), the name Qf the author, and
that of the celebrated performer Talma, who, always great, is
really sublime in the character of Beli.tarius. He was admir-
ably supported by the other performers, and infect every thing
contributed to the splendid success of this tragedy, which
abounds in the most noble and affecting sentiments, expressed
in language worthy the author of Scylla. Talma was, as
usual, called for, and took leave amidst, the loudest. :kcal-
Illations. The name of' the author being demanded, Talina
announced that of M. Jouy, which was welcomed with Una-
nimous bravos. The Queen and the Princess Marianne ho-
noured the theatre with their presence. M..Talma let out for
Paris this morning at two o'clock. Though this play has
never been acted at Paris, we believe it has been performed
at Bordeaux."

This extremely gratuitoos, as well as disgust-
ing, exhibition of brutality, took place at a late
hour. on Tuesday evening, at Warwick ; and, ex-
cept thil: it was even still more offensive and
truel than we had anticipated, the result was
pure!; that. which we predicted it would be .in
.4111 r F.per of the 20th.

PEDESTRIANISM.

The sporting match between Swinton, from• Derbyshire, and
Mr. Roebottom, for 200 sovereigns a side, took place on Mon-
day, over two miles of Luton Race-course, Mr. Roebottom re.
ceiving three minutes in ten miles at going in. Betting was
even, but the Derbyshire man for choice. It was a fine race,

BOXERS.

LANGAN AND WARD.—This match is expected•to be made
forthwith, a letter having been received from the Irish Nero,
that not only he but his money was ready, for 5001., and a
Gentleman in London is ready to deposit 1 or 2001., by way of
preliminary. NVard's needful is ready; and we hear nothing
of Crawley in earnest.

INToxtcATIoN.—It appears by the Coroners
accounts recited and allowed at the present Quarter Sessions,
that 22 persons have sacrificed their lives in this district during
the last three months, by excessive drinking.—( itfutteltater
Herald.)

ANTIQUITIES.—In making the common sewer
in London-street, Glasgow, from the 'part near
the Cross, which is finished, down to the /Violet).-
dinar Burn, there was found a few days ago, and
at the depth of about ten feet below the surfer:,
the remains of a boat lying in a bed of blue clay,
which was covered and surrounded by fine sand,
like that found on the shores of a navigable River
or wide Firth. Some of the clinker nails which
were used as fastenings were found i❑ the wood,
which was tine oak, become quite black from its
long immersion under the earth. The caulking
used for the boat appeared. to have been wool
dipped in tar. ' It is a curious fact, that some
years ago, when the common sewer was cutting
in the Stockwell, that a boat of a similar descrip-
tion was found a little above Jackson-street
.;
which would indicate, that these two places where
the boats have been found, were then the line of
the shore of the Frith, or bed of the river. These
boats must have lain in the places where found,
many, many centuries. It is not probable that
they belonged to, or were constructed by, the
Aborigines of the country. The workman-
ship would indicate that they were formed by a
people considerably advanced in civilization. It
is probable they were constructed by the Romans,
about the perioil of Agricola's expedition into
Caledonia, near 1740 years ago ; at which period
there seems little reason to doubt, the greater
part of the ground on which Glasgow now stands,
and all the low lands on both banks of the rivers
to a consilderable distance, were covered by
the waters of the Frith of Clyde.--Olasgore
Courier.)

THE LATE ROBERT GRAY, ESQ.

The following Tablet has been recently placed
in the Church of St. Mary-le-Strand : •
In Memory of ROBERT (41tAy, Esquire, late of Somerset-
place, who died on the 30th of July, 1823, in the 63d year
of his age.
His diligence and capacity in the important duties connected
with the Duchy of Cornwall, and in other Public Functions,
during a long continued service, were only equalled by his
fidelity,
Qualities which were rnost graciously and liberally appreciated

by his itoyal Master.*
Upright—courteous--sincere—
He retained the affection of his friends ano the esteem of all

who knew him—
As a Man for his benevolence,
As a Christian for his firm faith and hope
In a blessed Eternity.
His active and accomplished mind enabled him to fulfil duties
peculiar to his station through several years of a severely
painful decline--until Patience had wrought a perfect work.
This Tablet is inscribed by his Relic, in testimony of her

sincere and lasting regret.
" His Majesty was gracious pleased to direct that the man-
sion occupied by the late Mr. Gray should be in the possession
of his widow till her death.

tare of which he did not well.understand. In two or three mi.'
nutes more, the second dog, Tiger, being dreadfully maimed,
crawled out of the cage; and the brown dog, Turk, which was
the lightest of 'the three, but of admirable courage, went on
fighting by himself. A most extraordinary-scene then ensued ;
the dog, left entirely alone with an animal twenty times his
weight, continued the battle with unabiti4 fury, and though
bleeding all-over from the efnct of the lion's claws, seized and
pinned him by the nose at least half a dozen times; when at
length, releasing himself with a desperate (Tort, the lion flung
his whole weight upon the dog, and held him lyiag between his
fore paws for more than a minute, during which time he could
have bitten his head off a hundred times over, hut did nut make
the slightest effort to hurt him. Poor Turk :vas then taken
away by the dog-keepers, grievously mangled but still alive,
and seized the lion, for at least the twentieth time, at the very
same moment that he was released from under him. _ _

LAW 11,.ITELLIGENCE,

COURT OF CHANCERY—(Taus 06,v-4
THE LEICESTERSHIRE TITHE CAUSE.

JUDGMENT.—The LORD, CHANCELLOR thig tiny
gave judgment in this cause, which has occupied
so much attention, namely, that there must be a
new trial at law as to whether any sum of money
had been paid in lieu of tithes, or as a modus ;
and if so, how long the same had continued, and
that the Jury should endorse the same on the
postea.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(THAs Dar.)
HUGHES V. DUMVILLE.

In this cause, vohich has been dropped for no
less than twenty-one years, a bill has been now
filed for a revival of the suit, and the documents
contain no less than six hundred brief sheets, with
upwards of three hundred affidavits.

Mr. -Rosy. this day wished it to be taken•out of
its turn, but

Mr. MONTAGU' opposed this, on the ground
that for twelve years the defendant had been irk
possession.
The VICE CHANCELLOR said he did not see
how he could disturb a possession of so long a
term, but at any rate the case did t;Ot press so
very much, and if any harm arose, it was owing
to the neglect of the parties themselves, who had
no right to call on the Court for further in •
dulgence.

dispute between the Marquis of Hastings and Sir Thomas His-
lop, respecting the Grand Army. Their Lordships were at-
tended by their Secretaries.
The business under discussion was considered of so much
importance, that all the King's Law Officers attended the in-
vestigation, viz. the King's Advocate, the Attorney-General,
the Solicitor-General, and the King's Proctor.
The Duke of Wellington, one of the Commissioner:;, was
present. Mr. Arbuthnot was prevented from attending by in-

have the circulation starved by these sages. How
'long are the fortunes of individuals to be at the
nerey of a set of men who do not know -even the
elements of their own business ?

Money is exceedingly scarce in the City, and
even upon Stock 5 pet cent. is obtained. Ex-
cheqaer, Bills fell yesterday to V ; the Consol
Market is in Conseqnence affected. The opening
price for Account was 90i ; the last qtiotation,
9021. South American Stocks were exceedingly
heavy, but the holders have got over the fright
of Tuesday. Colombian Bonds were 84.. to 85 ;
Mexica❑ Scrip, 21 discount; the other Stocks
were also heavy and lower, owning to-the scar-
city of money, and the near approach of the.set-
ding day (Friday). The Stocks of Continental
Europe were little affected, as the quantity of
Austrian, Russian, and Prussian held in England
has materially decreased. The Shares generally
were heavy and lower, on account Of several new
Companies having again'appeared at market. In
the minor Associations there continues to be
much business doing, particularly in the follow-
lowing :—Royal Irish, Lower -Rhine Steam,
IBoulogne Steam,. Flour Company, &c.—(ibid.)

[NEW TimEs."l
Mr. Hume, who is so fond of doing justice
.to
the Bishops of the Established Church, will
thanks us, we are sure, for pointing out the fol-
lowing instance of Episcopal attention to the
more adequate remuneration of 64 the working
Clergy." In the diocese of Connor in I reland,
were three sinecures (or nearly such) viz. the
Chancellorship, the Archdeaconry, and the l're-
centorship. The revenues annexed to these
offices arose from the great (or rectorial) tithes
of thirteen parishes in the county of Antrim.
The incumbents of these parishes were for
the most part slenderly provided for. In some
instances two small vicarages had been united.—
Ballyclog, for example, worth about 22/. per
annum, was united to Ballymona ; but the in-
come arising from both together did not exceed
841. Indeed, the average value of the livings al-
luded to did not amount to 100/. The offices
above mentioned, and also the several Vicarages,
were in the patronage of the Bishop. The pre-
sent Prelate (Dr. Mant) procured an Act
of Parliament last year (17th June, 1824)
for divesting from the Dignitaries above-
mentioned (after the death or removal of
the present holders) the rectorial tithes, of
which their revenues consisted, and for annex-
ing these tithes to • the Vicarage of the se-
veral parishes out of which they proceed.—
Judging from the Act 5 Geo. iV. c. 80 (from
which our information is derived), it seems that
for the future the Vicarages will average about
3601. per annum, instead of 1001. We believe
that the three best of the livings will be an-
nexed to the Chancellorship, Precentorship, 'and
Archdeaconry ; but the individuals who may be
invested with those dignities will, instead of
being nearly sinecurists, find themselves charged
with the laborious and useful duties of the paro-
chial Priesthood.
