POETRY.

. . .
ON THE' FALL OF THE -LEAF.
The winds of Autumn sweep along . •
In many a wild inconstant blast,
The torrent's course is deep and strong,.
• Stern Winter hastens fast,—
And on the Summer leaves, that shone
So late in verdant pride,
The rude and frequent gust has blown,.
And scattered far and wide.
All withered in their-native vale,
The lingering flow'rets drooping lie
Nipt by the-rough and fitful gale,
They Rink to earth, and die :
Swift fading, like the morning beam,.
Before the tempest's gloomy strife,
As transient as sinning dream
Which mocks the ills of life.
Bat yet one late sweet bud I spy.
Of Suininer'S children left behind,
Which blooms through Autumn's 'chilly sky,.
Nor fears his rushing wind.
Ali, sure, in life such lonely flower
Will yet through every storm remain,
With balmy and consoling power
To sooth our, let of pain.
For, oh ! what breast so dark and drear,
The gentle charmer hash not known ?
Sweet 'lope ! who smiles in every tear,
And can for every sigh atone—
,More dear than, life, more loved than light,
My fond companion ever be!
Thou cheerer of each gloomy night,
I die in losing .Thee.

ON THE DEATH °OF A YOUNG. GIRL.
Beauty and virtue crown'd thee !
• Death in thy youth }lath found thee!
Thou'rt gone to thy gray.
, By the soft willow wave,
"And the flowreta are weeping around thee
The sun salutes thee early,
The stars be.gein thee rarely,
Then wby should we weep
When we see thee asleep,
'Mid a world that loves thee so dearly ?:

• ' DORCHESTER RACES.
[Frost the Dorset Coistrty Chroyikie of yesterdcry.l
Dorchester' Races, after a lapse of thirty-seven years, have
been renewed under the most favourable circumstances. Mon-
day last presented to our view. one of the most animating scenes
' we ever witnessed. The different roads leading to the course
were at an early hour thronged with compeny, and before the
p and edes-
to at least
Watts assetnbled must, we think, have amounted.
first race had commenced, the number of horsemen
seven thousand. A finer piece of turf could not be found in the
county of Dorset, and probably not in the West of England.--
Lying on a firm chalky soil, its elasticity is very great, and ad-
starting are seen on level ground- about the distance of half a
ndrably calculated ter galloping. The horses from the time of
mile, and the eye scarcely loses sight of them until they return
to the winning post. On each side of the couree'are ridges of
lofty hills, which afford pedestrians the most delightfaproine-
nades imaginable, and here they have a full view of every thing
that is going forward, without crowding against the ropes,' to
the hindrance of. the horses and annoyance of the Clerk of the
COurse. . Instead of the usual tinkling sound of a bell, the note
of preparation was given by one of the trumpeters of. the Bth
Hussars. This, we presume, was in honour of Capt. Campbell,
who officiated as one of the Stewards.
The first race, for a plate of 76 sovereigns added toe sub-
scription of 10 sovereigns each, (heats about two nide.* and a
quarter,) W 33 contested as follows :
Mr. Cockburn's g. f. Agnes, 3 yre, tist. 71b. -
1 I
Mr. Farquharson's b. g. Black and all Black, yrs,
9st. Ilb.
- 2 2
14 Palmerston's ch. in. Biondetta, 3 yrs, Oat. 31b. - 8 3
Admirable running. Agnes and Black and all Black came
in neck and neck each heat. The beautifel mare Biondetta
made a push for the. second heat; but 'the lighter weights had
the advantage of her. We hope to Fee her brought fresh to the
turf next year. She has every mark of genuine breed about
her, and she gallops in the most finished and elegant style.
Agnes and Black and all Black are also fine animals.
The match for 100 sovereigns, between Mr. Spooner's b. g.
Claret, and Mr. Ponsoriby's b. g. Hero (ridden by the owners),
was non easily by the latter. In the first heat Air. Spooner
lost his cap, and was fully distanced ; but Mr. Ponsonby most
willingly gave him another trial, and beat him a second time.
For the Ladies' Plate of 50/. tour hories started. Heats
about two miles and a quarter :
Capt. Campbell's br. c. Franconi, 3 yrs, 7st. fib.. 2 1 1
Mr. Raticlyffe's br. h. Masquerader, 5 yrs, 9st. 4111. 1 2
Mr. Farquharson's b. f. by Waterloo, 3 yrs, 7sf. 41b. 3 dr
Mr. Worth's ch. m. Prosody, 0 yes, Itst. 81b. -- 4 dr
Good running. 'rite two first heats .;sere won by about a
[neck, but in the last heat Frunconi had the decided advantage.
It was nearly six o'clock when this race was decided.
• This day's sport afforded a high treat to the aniateuriacif the
turf; all of whom expressed themselves in terms of the highest
approbation. Among the company present we observed—Sir
J. W. Smith, Bart., Admiral Sir Bertie and family, J. J.
Farquharson, Esq., C. Buxton, Esq., and family, Col. West-
enra and the Officers of the Bth Royal Irish Hussars, Sir R.
Steel, J. Cockburn, Esq., R. Radclytle, Esq.' Captain Bragg,
of the, Sadborough Yeomanry ; N. C. Daniel, f•lsq., Colonel
Bower, Lieutenant-Colonel Steward, Captain Peach, Rev.
Urquhart, the Rev. Butler, M. Ure, Esq., M.P., W. P.
Hodges, Esq., Mrs. Clavell and family, Mrs. Shirley anti
family, &c., &c.
Had earlier notice been given, the number of persons on the
course would no doubt have been much greater. The day was
'very favourable, and its festivities were not interrupted by a
gle accident.
The Steward's Ordinary at the. Antelope was attended by the
Officers of the Bth Hussar*, and by nearly all the Gentlemen of
distinction who ware present on the course. The Ordinary was,
without exception, one of the most splendid ever witnessed, and
reflected the highest credit on the tart and liberality of Mr.
Stent, who provided turtle, venison, &c., in abundance, and
every delicacy of the season. The wines were of the 'finest
quality, particularly the champagne and claret, which were
drank in profusion.
The Concert at the King's Arms Assembly Rooms was not
well attended. Among the company we noticed the. Reverend
Archdeacon England, Reverend 'l'. Si. Colson, Reverend J.
AI. Colson, Lady Frampton, C. B. Wollaston, Esq., Mr. and
Miss Hodges, Mr. and Miss Smith, Miss Churchill, the Misses
Colson, Miss Shirley, the Misses Henning, Mr. Bragg, Mr.
Ste. &c. The principal performers were Miss Owen;
Ci%liai4spcouttp,
john, Messrs. flarrington, A. Yoder, Patch, and
Rolle ; all of whom sang with considerable effect, and were
greatly applauded.
SECOND DAY.—TUESDAY, OCT. S.
A plate of 50 sovereigns, given by the Officers of the Bth King's
Royal Irish Hussars, added to a subscription of live sove-
reigns each. Three-mile heats.

nerly aide by side.
SECoND RACE.—A Sweepstake of 5 soy, each, added to a
plate of 251. given from the Race Fund, for horses not thorough-
bred that never won the value of 501. Gentlemen riders.

THIRD RACZ.—A Match for 50 soy. between Captain
'

b. It. Botherriem, aged. King Richard won easily.
The Handicap Sweepstakes of five sovereigns each, with 251.
added from the fund, for beaten horses, was won by Prosody
beating Black-and-all-Black, Masquerader, Waterloo filly,
and Hospidar. This race, which was won by a length only,
concluded the day's sport.
The weather continuing_ favourable, the Course was very
much crowded, and the oldest sportsmen declared they never

,witnessed better .runniug. • The..pn th blic are. oertainly,mu in-.
debtettan the Stewards for-the judicious regulations observed'
before ,and during the races • among the most prominent of
which regulations was that of not allowing any beer to be drank
;in the hatitits on the previous Sunday. Much praise is also dim
to Mr. Pouncey, the Clerk of the Course, for his active and
indefatigable exertions.
The Ordinary this evening at the Antelope Inn was as re-
spectably and numerously attended as on the first day. The
'following were among the toasts given in the course of the.
evening:—" The King," with four times fotir—" The Duke
.of York and the Army"—" The Duke of Clarenceund the
Navy"—" The Lord Lieutenant and Lieutenancy of the
County ;" which were drank with great applause. Captain
Campbell then proposed, "The Tradesmen of Dorchester, to
whose spirit and liberality we are indebted for the renewal of
Dorchester Races, and for the excellent sport we have enjoy-
ed." This toast was drank amidst the most rapturous ap-
plause. In the course of the evening Captain Campbell pro
poked that Mr. Farquharson should officiate as Steward next
year, to which proposal that gentleman most readily assented.
We may, therefore, be assured not only of a continuance of
Dorchester Races, but of a regular advancement of their po.
pularity.
The Ball at the King's Anna Inn was • attended by nearly.
200 faahionables, among whom were—Sir G. Bingham, Lieut.-
Col. Bingham, Sir T. llirtie, Sir J. Smith, Col. Wcstenra, anti
the Officers of the Bth Hussars, Col. Steward, Col. Brown,
Rev. Dr. and Mrs. England, Rev. H. Strungways, Rev. H.
Urquhart, Rev. J. Murray, Rev. W. R. Churchill and familyi
M. Ure, Esq. M.P., B. L. Lester, Esq. M.P., Co IL Wollas-
ton, Esq., Lady Frampton, Mrs. Gen. Molyneux, Miss Pley„
dell, Miss Cooke, Mr. and Miss Hodges, Capt. Henning, Mr.
St. Qaintin' Mr. Shirley. Mr. and Miss,Bragge, Mr. Spur-
rier, &c. &c.—Dancing was kept up with great spirit till a
late hour.
To prolong the entertainment's of the week the Officers of the .
Bth Hussars gave yesterday morning, at the Barracks, an eh?.
Sant dejeune a la foureheitc, which was attended by Sir J. W.
mith and family, 11Irs. General Molyneux, and several other
persons of distinction. The company, previously to the enter-
tainment, passed some time in the Riding School, and were
much gratified with the superior discipline and appearance of
the men and their admirable management of the horses. The
d.ixority with which the exercise was pertimucal, and the skil,
ful mode of attack and defence with the lance and the sword,
also affurded the spectators considerable gratification.
The Ladies were also entertained yesterslay evening with a
second ball and supper at the Antelope, which being also given
by the Officers of the Bth went off with great eclat. The ball-
room, notwithstanding the short notice given to Mr. Stent,
(only a few hours) novas decorated in a: very tasteful style, and
the display in the supper room would have graced the table of
a Nobleman.

MAJOII CARTS EIIGHT.—The will of the verse.
rable Major CauTvlittollT passed under the seal of the Pre-
rogative Court of Canterbury, the personal of sworn to be
under UM. The following remarkable clause appears there-
in :—" To my country, anxiously desiring her welfare, I leave
a fervent wish for such'necessary deep and salutary reforms in
her institutions, as would not only restore her lost freedom,
but purify from the odiousness and debasement of unfaithful-
ness and corruption, all her public departments. By a com-
plete restoration 'of her genuine polity (which L have endea-
voured to place before her eyes), she might, in my humble
judgment. so correct the morals and the habits of her people,
as to establish on a solid and enduring basis, her future liberty,
prosperity, and renown. To this end she must cease to
follow the example of conquering states, which, from small
beginnings, become what may be considered as vast pyramids
absurdly resting on their points, with their broad founda-1
tions in the air ; from the unnaturalness of which position
they necessarily fall in ruins, misery, anti contempt. When
England shall restore the simplicity of her original polity,
the will have a basis sufficient for stability, felicity, and glory ;
and then, instead of insanely making her state to resemble an
inverted pyramid, she, by merely colonizing on her own nem-
ral, sound. constitutional principles, may spread to a wide ex-
' tent confederate nations, sincere friends to her welfare, firm
supports of her greatness; and, in place of jealous rivals or
secret and insidious enemies of her repose, she would raise up
around her willing Ministers of her aggrandizement."

Bow-STREET.—ST. CLEMENT DAXES AXE THE LUBER.
TY OF THE Itol.LBi—Yesterday, a deputation front the two
above parishes appeared before. Sir It. BIRNIE, to request his
assistance in a design they had formed, and which, is certainly
of a very laudable nature. In Shire-lane, and the whole
surrounding neighbourhood, the peaceable inhabitants are
perpetually disturbed • by the inmates of houses of a certain
description—Elder-wine-houses anti public-houses. These are
kept open at all hours of the night, and disorderly persons from
all parts of London, knowing they can obtain liquor and accom-
modation there, flocked to them as a common centre, where, if
any companions in impropriety and drunkenness are to be
found, that is the spot in which they are to be sought. Under
the circurnstancesohey hoped that the Magistrates would feel
themselves authorized in interfering....-Sir 'RICHARD observed,
as to the first species of houses, he should advise the respective
parishes to indict them ; as to the second description, elder-
wine houses not being licensed victuallers, no efforts could be
made by him to check them ; but as to the public-houses,. he,'
undoubtedly, would put a stop to their being kept open at are.
War hours, when application* were made for a renewal of their
licenses.

YEOVIL, OCT. s.—The great quantity of rain
which fell on the night of Thursday and Friday last caused
a heavy flood on several roads leading to this town, which
prevented 'numbers of persons from attending our
,Market
tt was in consequence very small. The Royal Somerset
coach,, which usually arrives at Yeovil at, half-past three
o'clock in the afternoon, slid not arrive at all on Friday, having
been stopped at Gillingham by a bridge, which was rendered
impassable by the flood. In the Corn blarket scarcely any
business wits done; from as. to 45. per quarter on last week's
prices was demanded for Wheat and Barley : other grain and
seeds as last week. There was a sample of prime new watered
Flax, which sold at 61. ; other sorts may be stated as last week
but little business doing.
The. paragraph on the subject of. " Kensington
Tolls" has, by other Trusts, been considered
liable to misconstruction. The large printed pla-
Hyde-park-corner (Piccadilly), at Kensington,
curds affixed to the .toll-houses gatei at
at Harnmersmith,&c., state, as we mentioned,that
the tolls, after the Ist instant,66
were re-
duced," and that a 'ticket received at Hyde-
park-Corner or Pimlico Gate would clear all the
other gates. But this 66 redUction of tolls," to
adopt the language put at the top of the hills,
Itas no more to do with the Hounslow or other
trusts, than it has to do with the turnpike-road
trusts in 'Yorkshire or Stimersetshire. The re-
duction is, of course, limited to this one trust:—
(Morning' Herald.)
Mr. FARQUHAR, on • Wednesday, laid the (out',
dation of a woollen-manufactory, near the site of
the old mansion at Fonthill, of which the only
wing now remaining will be converted into work-
shops.
Many of the turf horses are. afflicted at this
time' with u distemper. Sir Thomas Stanley's Cestrian colt,
which won at the late races at Lichfield and Shrewsbury, died.
last week. _ _

JEKYLL, the, famous Barrister, although re•
tired from his situation as Master in Chancery,
still continues to enjoy his joke and the convivi-
ality of the table with as much glee as in former
days, when he formed one of that bright constel-
lation of wits—Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Here, Mr.
Richardson, Lord John Townshetul, General
Fitzpatrick, General Burgoyne, and others,
whose jeux d'csprit in the " Rolliad" will never
be forgotten.

LAW INTELLIGENC

PALACE COURT-(THIS DAY.)
6TANSFI ELD AND CO. V. WILITE.

Thii action to recover certain pinataies;
:for a breach of agreement. The plaintiffs were
I:extensive milkmen in the vicinity of Northatnp.
I_6mi-square, and the defendant forinerly Wastheir
journeyman., but having gone into business foe
himself "in the same line, an agreement was maths''
that the defendant should not dispose of any milk
within five miles of Northamptoir-squire for
twelve mouths, under a penalty of 10s. for each'
offence, to which the defendant readily con-
sented' however, scarcely a feW months had'
elapsed before he was actually in NorthaMptort-
square selling milk at various, times ;—hut, sayS
the Learned Counsel, my clients only sue fur one
penalty.

The DEPUTY JUDGE said the plaintiffs acted
most lenient, and he, defendant, certainly could
not complain, as an action in another Court could
have been brought and heavy expences incurred.
Verdict for Plaintiffs, 10s. being one penalty.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—TThis DAT.)
4.tilter Halt, a very elderly woman, whose
case had been previously before the Court, but
remanded to accomit for some of the property,
again . came us to claim her discharge. At ap-
peared,. however, she coul4, give fio account
whatever of her effects;, her family had takpot
the ‘isl)9l out of her possession, not would the
party thetuselves give any tidings of it, whereby
the I.nselvent's creditors had been grossly de..
frauded of the just claims, and she made this
dupe of their severity.

Mr. Commissioner 11 A.ttuts said, it was certainly
very bard, upon the Insolvent that she should be
confined for a long period for not accounting
fur the property which had been swept away by
these parties ; and if it was proved that u
collu-
'ion had taken place among them, there was a
clause in the Act, he believed, that would inflict
a more heavy and severe punishment on them,
which was that of 3 years confinement. The
insolvent was ordered to receive judgment on the
sth 'November.

Benbow, /ate of Castle-street, Leices.
ter-square, came up.with an amended schedule,
and no opposition appeariln against him, the
Court declared him entitled to the benefit of Lii*
Act.

SOUTHWARK SESSIONS—(THis.D.ti.)

BIt.ITA 4 0 Ella AGE.—George King and ifenry
Thoinpsdm were• put to the bar, on an indictment,
charging them with amost wanton and brutal
assault on the person of a highly respectable
young lady, named Mackenzie, on the 13th of
Aug. last, in the Borough-road. The young lady,
it appeared, bud gone to Vauxhall Gardens, its
company with some friends whom she accidentally
missed .on leaving the Gardens about half-past
twelve o'clock. She accordingly called a coach,
and . was set down in the Borough-road. She had
not proceeded far when the defendant King came
up to her and took her by the Waist ; she turned
from him, and observed, if he was a gentleman' he
ought to know better how to behave himself.
This had no effect, and on his again attempting
to lay hold of her, she hit him a slap in the face,
and called for assistance. At this time she was
not above twenty yards from her own door,
and Thompson -came up and said something to.
King, who immediately struck MisS Mackenzie
e'violent 'W ft ow O the head, from the force. of
which she fell on the ground. Luckily two per-
sons saw the latter pare of the transaction, and
ran to her assistance, when the defendants at.
tempted to escape, but were prevented, and
at length conveyed to the watch-house, where
they gave bail for their appearance. The wit-
nesses culled chiefly proved the outrage, and the
defendants:.beirig called on for their defence,
tempted to justify their conduct by asserting
that Miss Mackenzie' • struck King with. her
patters without any provocation. The Jury
found them both Guilty.
