SYMMONS'S AGAMEMNON.
Ma. EDITOR--I am glad to recognize S Ylt-
mons once more in your paper, in the-beautiful
quotations which are given with so much taste by
a Critic upon his translation of the Agamemnon,
and perfectly agree with him in admiring the
manner in which it is executed, and the store
of erudition which he has scattered over his pre-
face and his notes, &c., together with the judi-
cious emendations which he has suggested, and
which tend to throw light upon one of the most
obscure of all .the Greek tragedians. I am not
very conversant in translation, .tebich I seldom
or ever look into when I can read the original ;
but this comes as near as I ever formed, an idea
of perfection in that difficult attetiol, to succeed
in which requires the same or more genius in the
translator than in the original himself.
SYMMONS'S Agamemnon appears_to be not only
what every good work of the,:kind.ougl4 to be,
a translation of idiarri, and not merely ot7worils,
but the inspiration of the poet of the same order
with ESC/I YLUS,—not following, the stria letter,'
or maintaining the regular succession of terms,
but breathing the same sentiments, and rushing
forward to the same gaol, stepping aside now and
then, or even•retiring back to former points in
the long course of the sentence, just as the sense
may call for it, that every idea iriay stand full in
sight to the 'English eye as it would to the
Greek, for that is the great object of such trans.
pOsitions and deviations, and elpeCially by pert.
phrasis, in a language so simple and unencum-
bered, compared with the original. All he aims
at is not only to feel what his. Author felt, but to
bring that feeling forward itt'aslull an eipreSs
sion as a language so different,cau afford to it, to
make the body, though in a fcireign dress, keep
still in its just proportions; and in this he .gene-
rally succeeds beyond our expectations, or even
beyond our hopes. Take-as one specimen, which
I quote:at random, and not aa.coo-pre-emittent,
but only sufficient to justify my remark. It is a
glowing description of a spoiled and ungrateful
son, which may be felt in its original spirit _even
by an English reader of this animated trans-
lotion.

Speaking of PRIAM'S indulgence to PARIS, and
the natural consequence so common to all spoiled
children—the basest ingratitude, the Chorus ex-
claims, in language to be exceeded by the Greek

alone,---
That Prince a dangerous lion-cub
ntred in his palare, witan'd with care,
In his tender infant years
innocent, and fond,
Caresed, how(' by all the young and old
Oft cra a
dled- in their fondling arms,
• Like nurslin,, babe he lay. •
But time advanced, (cater grown,
He shew'd the nurture of his horrid
And the fell parents' manners whence be sprang :
For, bad return for all his fost'rer's care
He 'mid the woful slaughter'd sheep ,
Feasted high, though no one bid,
While the house ran red with blood!
And the great monster, with his ravening jaws,
Those trembling inmates pale
With horror eyed, nor to encounter dar'd;
And so by Heaven's decree they found
A priest of Att in their house was bred.
'Phis subject happens to be the same as that
which I sent before from the same Poet, up?" a
temper that has ever been too common id all
ages, and the theme is not yet exhausted, even in
the present.

How beautifully does our English iEsciumus
More hideous than the
describe ingratitude—A4
sea-monster—and compare it with the cuckow
bird, who thrusts the sparrow from that nest,
when it has grown to such a prosperous bulk, the
very offspring fostered with itself." And yet,
though written by SHAKSPEARE, and in his own
language, it does not run more naturally, or pro-
ceed more smooth to a vernacular ear than this
description, which is only in translation.

Tuesday being the Feast of St. Matthew, and
the day fixed for the Election of Mayor for the year ensuing,
a full meeting took place at the Guildhall in this Borough, at
eleven o'clock, of the Aldermen and Council, to put in nomi.
nation font. Gentlemen as proper persons to fill that office, one
of whom the inhabitants have the power of choosing. After
the usual forms had been gone though, H. H. TIZARD, Esq.
the Town Clerk, read the names which the. Court of Aldermen
had fixed on, viz. • W. OAKLEY, J. SANDERS, W. BAILEY,
and JOHN MARTIN, Esqrs. when the latter Gentleman was
proposed by JOHN MANSELI., and seconded by Mr. 'l' .
HAWKINS, Churchwarden, and immediately elected without
a dissenting voice. After he had taken the usual oaths, and
administered those require' front the two new-elected Bailiffs;
JosEPJI HORSFORD and WILLIAM OAKLEY, ESVS. and
his two Serjeants at Mace, Messrs. SAMPSON and MARGIttE,
he rose and addressed his. fellow-townsmen to the following
effect:— •
"'Not being used to public speaking, it would be highly im-
prudent in me to attempt to address so respeCtable and nume-
rous an assemblage; but allow me to return you my most sin-
cere thanks for the honour you have this day so spontaneously
bestowed on me in electing me your Chief Magistrate, being
well aware of the arduous duties of that important trust, which
I will endeavour to fill with fidelity : and if I err, it will be
from the head, and not from the heart."

Meeting, and after a vote of 'thanks had been passed to the late

Mr. MASTE aTON Uwe then rose, and after returning thanks
for himself and- on behalf of his colleagues, spoke nearly as fol.
lows :—" Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen—The fast time I had the
honour of addressing you was on the occasion of your electing
as one of the Burgesses of this ancient and most respectable
Corporation my Right Ilon. Colleague (Mr. Wallace) as a
mark of respect and gratitude for the important services he
had rendered to the country. and the benefits derived from the
commercial regulations emanating from him. I then suited that
I felt fully persuaded that the same prosperity which attended
the commercial and manufacturing interests would speedily
find its way into the other branches of the national industry.—
In that hope we have not been disappointed ; for it must be,
obvious, to every man who has attended to the subject; that,
since the period to which I allude, there has been a progressive
and important improvement in most of the branches of the sin.
tional wealth. This state of things is mainly' to be attributed
to the wise policy and salutary regulations of Government and
Parliament, aided by the co.operation plan industrious people;
and I may venture to assert that no former period in the his-
tory of this country could be mentioned, in which a greater
share of comfort and happiness was diffused among the people ;
and it is not-the least important feature of these times that a
spirit of tranquillity exists in this country almost unparal-
leled. With states as with smaller Societies; nothing is more
conducive to prosperity than pence and harmony among the
people. In the general prosperity of the country this town
has participated. It is impossible in looking around not to
discover the most prominent proofs of it : it is evident from the
increased buildings and improvements of various kinds, and,
as a consequence of these, an additional population. To all
these advantages the town of Weymouth has fully entitled her-
self by her public spirit and industrious habits. On a former
occasion I hailed with satisfaction the unanimity and cordiality
which then prevailed ; and I have this day the pleasing task of
witnessing a similar instance of it in the election of my worthy
friend (Mr. Martin), to fill the office of' Chief Magistrnte:..—.,
(Hear, bear !)—I feel satisfied that he. like his predecessor,
will exert his best energies for the gciod of the 'community
over whom he is to preside. I have no doubt that.lik will feel
a pride and satisfaction in being placed in the honourable of-
fice of Chief Magistrate of the ancient and respectable borough '
and town of Weymouth and Alelcombe Reis ; -and that at the
end of his Mayoralty it will appear that fie has. discharged
the duties of his office with honour to himself and advantage
to the community."—The Hon. Al ember sat down amid loud
plaudits.
" The Mayor Elect."
The Worthy Magistrate rose, and in a style of great energy
and affection; expressed his regard' for his fellow townsmen,
and assured them that he would endeavour to follow • the line
traced out by his most respectable predecessor, who this day laid
down his office, the duties of which he had discharged so much
to their interests and advantage.
" The Lord Bishop and Clergy of the Diocess."
The Rev. Dr. DUPRE rose, and in a strain of masterly elo-
quence returned thanki for himself and in the name of his Rev.
Brotherhood, the Clergy. The conclusion of his speech was
followed by loud and long-continued plaudits, a striking proof
of the great respect and attachment which the people of Wey-
mouth feel for the Ministers of the National Church,

" The Lord Lieutenant and Lieutenancy of the County.'
Sir R. STEELE, one of the Deputy Lieutenants, returned
thanks.

" The Members of the county;" " The Mayor and Corpo.
ration of Dorchester."

in 'returning thanks in behalf of the Cor-
porate Body to which lie had the Tionour to belong, expressed
the high gratification which he felt in witnessing the unanimity
andou which prevailed between the two towns of Wey-
mit'harnanmdni)orchester ; that op the prOsperity of the one, in
a great degree, embraced the prosperity of the other; and
that as each enjoyed peculiar advantages, of which both
might partake, he had much pleasure in observing the very
great improvements which had lately taken place in both
these towns. And as the lion. Member for 'Weymouth (Mr.
Um') had so justly remarked, that in the increased prosperity of
the country the ancient and respectable town of Weymouth had
largely partaken, he (Mr. Head) was happy to see it most fully
exemplified in the very great resort of companyto this delight.
ful town during the present season, which far surpassed any
that had preceded it, even in the days of our late much revered
Monarch, George the Third. lle concluded by imposing as a
toan-L-." A long continuance of the harmony and good under-
standing at present subsisting between the towns of 'Weymouth
and Dorchester :" which was received with great applause, and
drank with three times three.
The polite attention and urbanity of the Chairman gave a
zest to the enjoyment of the splendid festivity, and the, able
support of the Vice President (11. 11. Trzann, Esq.), contri-
buted highly to the enlivening gaiety of the evening.

A case was decided yesterday at the Justice
of Peace Court.—A young woman, who wits employed at a
loom in a factory in town, , absented herself from her work
the whole of Tuesday se'nnight, without at all consulting
her employer, and consequently leaving him ignorant whe-
ther she intended to return or not. On entering thefactery on
;Wednesday, finding that a woman was at work on her loom,
and that she was not to be taken back, she 'demanded pay-
ment for the work she had finished but was informed that
`she would get none, as she had forfeited all right to her
wages- by abandoning her work without giving intimation,
according to ,the known regulations of the factors, The
young woman having summoned the foreman for withholding,
her wages, the case came on yesterday ; and after hearing,
parties, the Court assoilzed the defender, declaring that the 7
complainer had forfeited all right and claim .to her wages and
loom by abandoning her work without the leave of her fm-
ployer.—(Glargow Chronicle, Sept. 21.)

the,indictment charged the other prisoner with aiding and abet-
ting in. said murder.
The ADVOCATE-drgr RAL opened the case on the part of
the Crown, anti relitted the leading circumstances of it, but
which appeared at greater length in the evidence, and which is
as follows •
Villagrana—Recollects a felucca commanded by Pepe in
October last; the crew consisted of 10, including ,the Cap..
tain ; heard from themselves that they had taken a British ves-
sel from Caynntnas, and saw them wearing clothes made front
'; two of the prisoners were of the crew of the felucca,
De los Santos anti Cassel, when she took the British vessel ;
Capt. Pepe, of the felucca, said at witness's house, that he had
taken a British schooner from Caymanas that the crew of the
English schooner made their escape in her' boats; did not hear
of any engagement between them; it was in the month of
January that Pepe was at his house; recollects one. Sebastian 4:
coming to his house along with Pepe ; he, with the others,
said that a boat's crew of British sailors were approaching the
felucca, that they firedal them and killed four seamen, and
took two prisoners, wilcal they afterwards killed. Two escaped
ine Santosl auniedselltessts werealforn
committed.w Witness
d part of the crew of
wounded..
felucca.ned .Losa the t
says that he met Martinez going from Pepe to the Captain of
another vessel; giving him notice by letter that the British force
was approaching, anti that they must not give them any assist-
ance, butt() resist them. On this they hid themselves. This
witness heard from Martinez ; recollects a person of the name
of Campos,.and that he came to his house ; his second visit was
when he was making his escape from the British force ; does
not know what his first 'visit was for; recollects the two pri-
soners already named making confessions to him ; 13. Cassel
said that he had confessed in the presence of Captain Graham
that he fired twice at the boat:: of the Icarus; and Los Santos
also acknowledged that he had fired at then,. 'Witness saw on
the landing-place sundry apparel of the Caymanas schooner,
which had been taken out of her. Campos had stated that he
had escaped from the British boats, and stated that he was
afraid to fire at the British.

.....
Juan Campos—Witness while fishing on the coast was taken
bye piratical crew, consisting of five men in a boat, This was
beore the- Christmas holydays; he *as taken on board the •
felucca, Captain Pepe. %Vitness was compelled to work ;
knowiall three witnesses ; Los Santos was on board the pira-
,tical vessel ; he wait acaulker ; heard him say he had been en-
gaged in an attack un vesael, Los Santos was one of the
crew that went in the boats to capture the Caymanas schooner ;
they plundered her of tackle, &c. The sails were cut up, and
divided among the crew. Witness saw Cassal with trowiers
on, made from the sails; cannot say as to the other two ;
Martinez was not on board, nor 'does he belong to the fe.
lucce. Los Santos was on board of her ; the . crew 'of the
felucca consisted of 2:i or 26 men. Is not certain as to the
particular time that the attack took place. There was a
rumour that a British force was cruizing against them ;
and nine pf . them, more courageous than the others, went
out in an armed boat to meet them ; Canal and Los Santos
were among the party ; Martinez was not on board the felucca.
iVitness made his escape at the tithe this party went to meet
the British ; witness had proceeded three leagues, when he
heard firing; witness was again taken by the pirates at a vil-
lage, and they threatened to murder him if he did not join them
—this was at 7 o'clock the same evening. On the following
Morning, he met Cessal,.who said to him .if be had seen him
escaping he would have shot him; CasSal also said that they -
hadkilled four iiritish sailors, made two prisonerS, whom they
likewise killed, and two had escaped; Los Samos 'did not' Cottle'
up to the village ; the fact of their having killed these persona.
was the common conversation of the village ' . does not know
that Martinez was intimate with the crew of the felucca, but.
Nillagrano's vessel, of which he was on board, lay so close toge-
ther that they could speak to one another.
Mr. Thomas Mitchell, maker's, mate of the Ictadis, recollects
cruising on the coast of Cuba in January last. The reason tar
takinglgartinez was, that he Was repairing his vereel with the
-planks taken from the Caymanas vesseL fie' proceeded up the
river Santa Ff the 24th Feb. last; in returning with a prize,
Lieutenant Layton saw a smaller creek,, end said ho would
examine it in the gig. Witness • had Martinez in a boat with
him. Lieutenant Layton was to return in fallen hour, but
did not do so ; upon which witness followed diem, and soon
came up- to the two wounded men, who called to witness to
come -to -their. .assistance; they were Tierney and Hughes,
Next day, found the. four bodies of the killed men 4; Lieutenant
Layton was among them.
James Tierney, seaman of the Icarus, was in the gig with
Lieutenant Layton, in February last; two officers anti six men
were in her. no read from a written paper, thiit at three
o'clock of the morning of the 24th left the schooner (Speedwell),
and at five entered die river Malpiza4 at eight Kil.W a schooner
