JUDGE JEFFERYS.—At a contested election for
a Member to serve in Parliament for the town of Arundel, in
Sussex, Government strenuously interfered, and that so openly
as to send down Jefferys, then Lord Chancellor, with instruc-
tions to use every method to procure the return of the Court
candidate. On the day of election, in order to intimidate the
electors, he placed himself on the hustings close by the re-
turning officer, the Mayor, who had been an attorney, but
was retired from business, with an ample fortune and fair
character ; he well knew the Chancellor ; but for prudenti: 1
reasons, acted as if he was a stranger both to his person and
rank. In the course of the poll, that Magistrate, who scru-
tinized every man before he admitted him to vote, rejected
one of the Court party ; at which Jefferys rising in a heat,
after several indecent reflections, declared the man should
poll, adding " I am the Lord Chancellor of this Realm.
'The Mayor, regarding him with a look of the highest con-
tempt, replied in these words :—" Your ungentlemanlike
behaviour convinces me it is impossible you should be the
person you pretend ; were you the Chancellor, you would
know that you have nothing to do here, where I alone pre-
side ;" then turning to the crier, " Officer," said he, " turn
that fellow out of the Court." His commands were obeyed
without hesitation, and the Chancellor retired to his inn,
in great confusion, and the election terminated in favour of
the popular candidate. In the evening, the Mayor, to his
great surprise, received a message from Jefferys, desiring
the favour of his company at the inn ; which he declining,
the Chancellor came to his house, and being introduced to
him, made the following compliment :--4 Sir, notwithstand-
ing we are in different interests, I cannot help revering one
who so well knows, and dares so nobly execute the law, and
though I myself was somewhat degraded thereby, you did
but your duty. You, as I have learned, are independent ;
but you may have some relation who is not so well provided
for ; if you have, let me have the pleasure of presenting him
with a considerable place in my gift, just now vacant.' Such
an offer, and so handsomely made, could not fail of drawing
the acknowledgments of the party to whom it was made. Ile
having a nephew in no very affluent circumstances, named
him to the Chancellor, who immediately signed the necessary
instrument for his appointment to a very lucrative and honour-
able employment.

The Marquis of CONYNGHAM has proceeded to
Mount-Charles, county Donegal. It is supposed
the Marquis, Marchioness, and family would
spend the remainder of the summer at Slane Castle.

A letter from Edinburgh says—" An aged
female, who rents a garret in High-street, at 51. per annum, has
actually let her two windows, during the procession of his Ma-
jesty from llolyrood Palace to the Castle, at the enormous sum
of 251. each !"

The returns of the British Plantations : Su-
gars and Rum imported into London, Liverpool, Bristol,Clyde,
anti Leith, frcm the Ist January, 1822, to the 17th August, are
0,240 hogsheads of Sugar, and 24,947 puncheons of Rum less
than were imported into these ports between the corresponding

A few days ago the wife of an innkeeper at
Caistor, who is the mother of five children,
actually sold the youngest of them, an infant
about three months old, for a damask silk shawl,
of the value of 205., to a licensed hawker of
drapery goods, &c. who accidentally called for
refreshment. The man took away the child,
and hastened on his journey, apparently well
pleased with the disgraceful contract ! A few
hours afterwards, the occurrence being gene-
rally known throughout the town, the neigh-
hours were not sparing in uttering vehe-
ment and deserved reproaches for the con-
duct of the unnatural parent, which compelled
her to attempt the recovery of the hapless
infant. For this purpose, accompanied by two
female friends, she set oat, and succeeded in
finding the child at a house in Grassby, a village
about three miles on the Brigg road, where the
man had left it, the child having become exces-
sively troublesome, from the want of its accus-
tomed nourishment. The party returned safe
home with the child at one o'clock next morning.

POETRY.

THE SEPTEMBER SABBATH.
To-morrow is a day of rest,
The Sabbath of -September ' •
Ye Sportsmen, keep the High Behest,
And Gon's own Day remember.
Oh ! then " the Game of Death" forbear,
And give to Heav'n its due ;
Let the poor partridge share
Creation's rest with you.
At least let one more cheering sun
Shine on the tender brood ;
Touch not awhile th' unhallow'd gun,
Nor seek the Field of Blood.
Thus shall to-morrow's sacred morn
Protect the short-liv'd race,
While ev'ry feather'd sister born
Shall hail the Day of Grace..
Too soon are thousands doom'd to die,
And widow'd mates to grieve ;
Where's then the heart that dares deny
The Sabbath's short reprieve

GREECE.
Fierce and fell the contest burneth
Over sea and over land
Greece the chains of ages spurneth—
Greece hath drawn a sheathless brand.
Welcome, Freedom tho' thy birth
With a whirlwind shake the earth ;
Welcome, tho' thy lovely form
Dawn thro' shrouding gloom and storm.
O'er each old Hellenian mountain,
Where thy dwelling was of yore,
O'er each classic. hill and fountain
Sounds thy hallow'd name once more.
Welcome—tho' the cannon peal,
Ringing blade and clashing steel,
And the battle-shout on high
Echo back the glorious cry.
O'er the azure waters laving
The .tE,..irean thousand isles,
Thy red flag is proudly waving,
Lighted now by victory's smiles.
Who would be a slave again
Once when o'er the bounding main
Like his feelings wild and free,
He has fought and bled for thee ?
Tho' the Empregs of the ocean—
Who should lead thy battle's van,
Coldly see our lives' devotion
For the dearest rights of man.
Ne'er again these Isles shall gem
Turkey's tyrant diadem •
All like Scio first shall be,
Ruin'd—desolate—or free !

THE CAPTIVE LARK.
Sweet bird ! it grieves my very heart
To hear thy notes of joyous thrill,
And find thee here a prisoner
Against thy will.
A tuft of wither'd grass alone
To recompence the breezy lawn ;
A city ! foggy atmosphere,
For Phoebus' dawn.
I cannot bear to see thee thrust
Through prison's bar thy:crested head,
And hopeless run from side to side
With dodging tread.

Th' luxury of song was given
k or welkin wide add dewy heath,
Where spring leaves on the snow-white thorn,
Her blush and breath.
When nature sought with grateful heart,
For all her realm a wing, a voice,
To soar with matin song to Heaven,
Thou wert her choice.
The c,arleless breeze that hovers round

With, nought to chain its wandering,
Alone could match, if thou wert free,
Thy sportive wing.

And shaken by thy Heaven-ward flight,
When trembling hare-bells weep with dew,
That voice of rapture scarce betrays
That wing to view.

POOR EMERY.—The anxious feeling in favour
of this distressed family; we are happy to hear, does not sub-
side ; this is a demonstrative proof that this case is not viewed
by the Public as an ordinary one. Indeed so much is combined
in this unfortunate affair to give it unusual interest, that we
contemplate a considerable addition will yet be made to this
praise-worthy subscription: Since the last report, Mr. 11 o-
BINS intimated yesterday to the Committee a munificent dc-
nation from the fair hands of Lady CHARLOTTE DENTS.
no less a sum than thirty-five pounds, which she collected from
a few of her tradespeople, besides a handsome present from
herself ; he had also the gratification of adding that he had re-
ceived a letter from Mr. LA MBTON, M.P., informing him that a
subscription is going on at Sunderland, to which he has liberally
contributed, and from which 1001, may be counted upon.--
Mr. R. was delighted to say, that Lady DERBY had generously
contributed 101. The Duke of MoNTRosE had enclosed him
ten guineas from Edinburgh—this was the more gratifying, as
it would easily be conceived how much his Grace's time has
been occupied with his MAJESTY in Scotland, and a corrobo-
rative proof of the increasing interest the public are taking to
Bprotect from absolute want the family of poor EMERY. Mr.
ETTY, the young Roscius, has enclosedfd. Mr. RuI,IDE rd. of
Ludgate-hill, 10L—The Committee will not continue their'
labours after Monday, but Subscriptions will be most thank-
fully received and acknowledged, at Mr. ROBINS'S Offices,
Piazza, throughout the month of Septnnbcr, when it will he
finally closed, and a report of the whole laid before the public.

TRANSFERS OF MORTGAGES.—As it may act
be generally known that a considerable reduo.
tion has been made in the rate of Stamp Duties on
Transfers of Mortgages,we beg to refer our readers
to an Act 3d Geo. IV. c. 117, passed at the close
of the last Session, by which the ad valorem duties
upon Transfers, &c. of Mortgages are in certain
cases repealed ; and in lieu thereof it is enacted,
that upon all Transfers, &c. where no further
sum of money or stock shall be advanced, the
Stamp Duty in Great Britain shall be 1/. 155.,
and in Ireland 1/. British currency ; and that
where any further sum of money or stock shall
be added, the ad valorem duty shall be charged
only in respect of such further SLIM of money or
stock.

At the Assizes for the county of Cork 2 on the
22d instant Daniel Singleton and John Lynch
were arraigned for the murder of Hugh Colligan,
in the barbarous attack on durchtown Barracks,
on the 31st of January, by the insurgents. Both
prisoners were acquitted.
On Wednesday morning Catherine Black-
! man, servant in the family of Mr. James Duncan, of St. Mary
Axe, was sent by her master to Woolwich, at which place
Mrs. Duncan her mistress was on a visit, and about half-
past seven in the evening she left for London, her mistress
giving her eighteenpence to pay her fare' by the Greenwich
stage. On the road. between Woolwich and the place from
whence she intended to take the coach, she was accosted two or
three times by a fellow in a waterman's dress, who inquired if
she was.bound for London. To this she made no answer, but
quickened her pace ; the fellow still followed her, and on reach-
ing a very lonely part of the road, he seized her by the arms, and
with considerable violence dragged her down a dark lane, where
he threw her down, and placed his knee upon her chest; he
then drew from his pocket a knife, and having opened it, he,
with horrid imprecations, declared he would sever her head from
her body unless she instantly delivered over to him all the
money she had. The poor girl implored him not to kill her,
and called loudly for assistance, and then the villain began de-
liberately to untie her bonnet, and applied the knife to her throat,
but on her giving him the Is. 6d. she had to pay her coach-
hire, he relinquished his diabolical purpose, but was going
to proceed to other acts of violence, when a gentleman, who
heard the poor girl's screams, came towards the spot ; opon
which the ruffian made a precipitatelretreat, and although an in-
stant outcry and pursuit took, place, he effected his escape. The
gentleman conucted the poor girl to the coach, and humanely
paid her fare to London. Yesterday information of the affair
was given at Union-Hall-Office, and, from the description
given of the villain, there is reason to expect that he will soon
be brought to justice, as Hall, the chief officer of the establish-
men; has some clue where to find him.
