LORD 111ORPETH.

Dear 11—p—h, in thy world of ormolu,
Sleeping on rose-leaves, fed on turtle-soup;
The beau-ideal of Life's chosen few 1'
\c, hat demon toss'd thee upon G--bd—n's croupe ?
Thou Cavalier among that Roundhead troop !
Take my advice, and sleep on rose leaves atilt;
Play Cleopatra on thy gilded poop;
Breathe odours, toy with pencil, string, and quill,
But cut (without delay) the Cyclops of the Mill!

LORD STANLEY AND THE DUKE.
" Then a grim pause ; then follows—' St—nl—y's clever;
Solid, yet bright—a diamond-facet mind.
R—chrn—ncl talks gallantly. Young Gr—y for ever!
Forgetting (always) that we have not dined.
The Duke! not Time itself that glance can blind;
Far-sighted in debate as in the field;
Still en avant; he scorns to look behind :
By Genius, Fame, and Fortune, triple-steel'd,
Ev'n when repulsed at last, unknowing how to yield.' "

COLEMAN V. SINCLAIR.

In this case the defendapt was summoned, under the
Small Debts Act, to show cause why he did not pay
71. 10s., debt and costs, according to the order of the
Court. It appeared that he had been ordered to pay 21.
in ,a week and the remainder at ss. per week, the debt
being due for washing done for him five years ago, when
he was out of work. Instead, however, of paying the
instalment, he filed his schedule in insolvency in person,
at an expense of 4/.
The Learned JUDGE said that if he could pay 41. for
that he could have paid the 21. off his debt ; a commit-
ment would, therefore, be made out, but lay in the office
till defendant's protection exp.red.

THE MODERN ORLANDO.

The following sketches of political leaders are quoted
from this new poem, where they are introduced as the
viva voce 'musings of that eccentric nobleman, the late
Lord Dudley.

LORD BROUGHAM.
—"I hate all characters in leading-strings;
I like Br—gh—m's vigour, terseness, vehemence,
When his fierce jests around the House he flings;
(Provided always—not at my expense),
His hurricane of words, shrewd wit, and bile intense.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL.
Jack R—ss-11 charms me, with his quiet air,
His simple phrase, and purpose tindesign'd ;
Smooth without langour, polished without glare;
Feeling his way, until his coil is twined;
Then, darting all his meaning on the mind!
L—ndh—rst's is peerage-language—proud and bold;
Yet proud howe'er the tongue, the heart is kind;
I know it, and the tale shall yet be told)
A heart unstain'd by power—a tongue unsway'd by gold.
London, England, 1846-09-12

CERTIFICATE,

".In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s
Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta-
blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against
argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a
saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners,
NO. 4, 40 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe-
rior to any other burner."

LORD MELBOURNE.

Ah, M—lb—rne ! pleasantest of pleasant men!
Without an enemy, though born a wit.
What caged thy pinion in the treasury den,
In Fashion's gayest sunshine formed to flit?
Apollo saved thee from the fate of Pitt

Grown statesmanish, and never made a hit ;
Nay, parted with (if possible) thy smile,
And slept in state, and stone, in Westminster's old pile.

s IRELAND.
LABOUR RATE ACT-MEASURES OF RELIEF.

DUBLIN SEPT. 9.—Further evidence has been given
by the Irish Government of a determination to carry out
the " Act to facilitate the employment of the labouring
poor" with promptitude and energy befitting the crisis,
which has rendered such a measure quite imperative, as
a means at once of employing and feeding the people.
In the Morning Chronicle of Monday last there was a
notification of twenty-four proclamations, issued by the
Lord Lieutenant, for holding baronial meetings in
eight different counties. The Dublin Gazette of last
night contains' no less than 34 additional proclamations,
for holding Extraordinary Presentment Sessions in
as many baronies or half-baronies in the counties oj
Clare, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Waterford, Galway,
Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Donegal, King's
County, Longford, Meath, and Limerick. Thus, the
Government has given the initiative with all possible
expedition, and it remains for the gentlemen possessing
property in those several districts to second the execu-
tive in its efforts to meet the terrible emergency by cor-
responding measures for employing the people. In this
case promptitude of action is, above all things, necessary,
as well on grounds of humanity as with a view to pre-
serve the peace of the country. The new proclamations
have reference to the following districts in which meet-
ings are to be held on the days named respectively:—

CLARE.

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1846,

During the lase two centuries a grand principle
bag been gaining groui2d amongst the civilised nations
of the globe—a principle which has gradually in-
noculated the minds of the populace, has infused into
them something of the more elevated ambition of
philosophy, has imparted an astonishing impetus to
intellectual enterprise, and is now rapidly tending to
the improvement of our social condition, and facili-
tating the revelation of the secrets of nature. Ever
since the unsound theories ofARISTOTLE were exploded
and the inductive and experimental system pro-
pounded instead, that mighty principle has been accu-
mulating to itself additional vigour, and its paramount
clams upon the attention of man have been suc-
cessively recognised by one army of disciples
after ;.pother. We mean the principle- that more
endurin,s, glory may be acquired, and more substan-
tial athran.tages achieved, by the extension of human
knowledge than by any other earthly endeavour that
the imaginatiOn of mankind can conceive. That glori-
fi:st germinated in the chamber of the
ous principle,
has
,I)een already disseminated to an
philosopher,
astonishing extent a11i0n,.7 the multitude. The con-
quest of the difficulties' of science, the fabrication of
the masterpieces of are, the simplification of the
abstruser studies, and tile .application of the various
laws whicit regulate matter to °_.r own u3e and ad-
vantage, are considered to bc., amongst the noblest
objects for the attainment of which the human intel-
lect can strive ; and this, not merely by the
mechanician, the astronomer, the chemist, or the ma-
thematician, but by agriculturists, merchants, and
civil'ans indiscriminately. The good seed sown by
BACON and by DESCARTES have even now yielded
harvest a hundredfold._ The people see that in
striving for the extension of knowledge they are not
pursuing any beautiful illusion; they see that while
they are elevating their minds by the contemplation
of the universe, and appeasing a delightful curiosity
by analysing its portions, they are conferring practi-
cal benefits upon society, and satisfying many of our
corporeal wants, The allurements of philosophy have

THE WELLINGTON STATUE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,—The public attention was, some time ago, called
to the preparations making in reference to the statue of
his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the proposed situation
for which, it is to be feared, will not prove very credit-
able to the good taste of the nation, and a strong:
i opinion to that effect has been expressed both nParliameutt
and by the public. The committee, however,. seemed tobe
determined not to be thwarted, and it is now understood
that the statue, in proprid persong, is to be placed on the
arch, and that certainly at no small expense, but under
an assurance by the committee, that if then not gene-
rally approved of, it will be removed to a more desirable.
situation.

The season adopted for thus ascertaining the geneval
opinion of the public is not very favourable, but what-
ever it may be, I much question the probability of 2 the
removal of the statue; if once placed, to any other •situa-
don, however recommended.
The only hope of escape from the national dis grace,
now contemplated, seems to rest on the not improbable
failure of the arch to sustain the weight of the s Alperin-
cumbent mass intended to be placed upon it
A consummation devoutly to be wished.'"
I am, Sir, your most obedient servan%

(Before %ST. BRENT BRENT, Esq.)
SINCARD V. VON lIELM.

The plaintiff is an advertising agent, and the action
was brought to recover the sum of 31. 15s. foi advertise-
ments inserted in the Belfast Mercantile Register.
Mr. LOCKE stated the case. The defendant Her Von
Helm professed to have discovered a grand specific for
the cure of the toothe-ache, which was advertised by the
plaintiff by defendant's orders. The charge were proved
to be very reasonable, and the jury gave a verdict for the
amount claimed.

MARKET NEWS.-(YES

CORN-EXCHANGE,

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat have
been on a moderate scale ; yet the show of samples
here to-day was small. All descriptions moved off
steadily, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, Mon-
day's prices. Foreign Wheat was held for an advance
of fully Is per quarter ; yet, as the buyers were not
disposed to give any more money, no actual improve-
ment in value can be noticed. All kinds of Barley—
the supply of which was small—moved off readily at
extreme currencies. We had a good demand for super-
fine Malt, at a trifle more money. In other kinds very
little was doing. The Oat trade was firm at a further
advance in the quotations of 6d per quarter. Both
Beans and Peas were higher. Flour very steady.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1846.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Henry Paul, a well dressed young man, was placed at
the bar this morning, charged with creating a disturbance
in company with some othrs, and giving a false alarm
of fire.

Constable C 120, said he was on duty that morning,
about half-past three o'clock, in Marshall-street, when
a cab came along at a furious pace, and the persons on
it were making a great noise, and crying out " Fire,
fire," with vehemence. People were raising their
windows in alarm, and inquiring the particulars. By
the time the policeman came up with the cab it had got
into Golden•-square, where they were in the act of
starting the fire escape. Three persons were riding
outside and two within, but the moment that the
constable attempted to capture them, all abandoned
the cab and endeavoured to make off. He caught
the defendant, however, who was one of those on the
outside giving the alarm, and another, against whom he
could make no charge as he was inside, and he could
not say that he had been creating the noise.
Police-constable Peter Skelly, 104 C, corroborated
this witness, and said the cries were quite alarming.
The defendant denied having had anything to do with
raising the alarm.
Mr. HARDWICK said the conduct of the defendant and
his companions was such as might have been attended
with most serious effects on persons in delicate health
in the neighbourhood, and ordered him to pay 405., or
go to the House of Correction for 21 days.

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1846.

The English are naturally a very humane people
Some of them, however, are so fond of fun that they
will not allow their philanthropy to run to the ex-
treme of excluding them from participating in an
occasional amusement, even where the performances
should produce feelings more akin to pity than
wonder. The surgeon, not content with gloating over
the various physical contortions of the toad, whose
gradual death he has compassed by some well-devised
potion,oftentimes renews his delight by subjecting the
body of his victim to a galvanising process, and becomes
enamoured with his professional skill, and the mock
resuscitation of the unfortunate animal. Much in
the same way is the huge and bloated carcase of,
protectionism being cruelly trifled with after its vio-
lent death. For our own part, we think there is
something shocking to the senses in these painful
spectacles. It would have been infinitely better
quietly to have interred the defunct monster.
We have not been favoured with a sight of his last
will and testament; we must, therefore, suppose it is_
in strict accordance with a dying request that his mam-
moth remains should be exhibitedpro Bono publico in
various towns and cities of this fair land. The executors
took their embalmed treasure down to Coleshill this
week, and held a grand anatomical inquest. The
usual experiments were gone through with wonder-
Sul precision, and the spectators were amazed at the
explanations given of the prodigious strength of which
this tremendous relic of a past age must have been
possessed.
The dinner to Mr. .NEWDEGATE, on Wednesday,
Coleshill, by his constituents of North Warwick-
shire, was attended, as might have been expected, by
Lord GEORGE BENTINCK. After the Parliamentary
guests had bespattered each other with every
description of fulsome praise, Lord GEORGE delivered
one of his usual harangues, which for purity of reason,
comprehensiveness of mind, and elegance of diction,
was strictly on a par with all his former orations.
His sentiments were listened to with undivided atten-
tion. The statistics into which he entered seemed to
be based upon most authentic data, and when he told
his hearers "to look at the saddlery and harness-
nuakers, and the leather manufacturers, and find that
thirty-nine-'fortieths are consumed at home,"
:his authority reached its highest pitch, and
:rapturous applause greeted that important an-
nouncement. His Lordship's intellect was never more
...sportively inclined. Everything like a perversion of
:fact was honourably avoided, and the conclusions,
-drawn from most faithful premises, were about as cor-
rect as his Lordship's most ardent admirers could
easonably have expected.
We are told that last year " a sham cry of famine
-was got up to serve the purposes of the Adminis-
tration." Our recollection serves us that the Ministry

..declared that Ireland was threatened with famine, and
AtlUVitt viiec sir R. "'EEL advocated the repeal of

" Ah, M—lb—rne! pleasantest of pleasant men!

In Fashion's gayest sunshine formed to flit?
Apollo saved thee from the fate of Pitt.

Grown statesmanish, and never made a hit ;
Nay, parted with (if possible) thy smile,
And slept in state, and stone, in Westminster's old pile.

But cut (without delay) the Cyclops of the Mill!

"Around thee in vain the word its harmonies utters,

If thy heart be not swept on in the stream of the strain,"
is a golden version of a golden original. There are
seven delicious poems from the portfolio of Miss
Barrett in this number. One of them "A Man's
Requirements," is an exquisite adjuration—spoiled by
no forced conceits, but welling up with music and
eloquence from the fountains of the heart. What a
world of trysting memories are stored in that simple
verse :

" Love me with thine hand stretched out
Freely—open-minded !
Love me with thy loitering foot—
Hearing one behind it."
What strange but exceeding beauty there is in
',hose lines upon "A Dead Rose :"

" The sun that used to light thee,
And mix his glory in thy gorgeous urn,
Till beam appeared to bloom, and flower to burn—
If shining now—with not a hue would dight thee.
" The dew that used to wet thee,
And,
white first, grow incarnardined, because

, .
It lay upon thee where the crimson was—
If dropping now—would darkon where it met thee.

" The fly that lit upon thee,
To stretch the tendrils of its tiny feet
Along the leaf's pure edges after heat—
If lighting now—would coldly overrun thee.
" The bee that once did suck thee,
And build thy perfumed ambers up his hive,
And swoon in thee for joy till scarce alive—
If passing now—would blindly overlook thee."
" Maude's Spinning" is a plaintive tale, told with
the most simple, and hence the most touching, pathos,
in seven brief verses. Miss Barrett has an intense
love for nature—who can doubt it after her exulting
allusion to those young days—
" When the sun and I together
Went a-rushing out of doors!". .

She regards the veriest' leaf as a jewel, she invests
the grass and the flower-stalks with a glory more
lasting than their own, and " the green blood dancing
in their veins" finds a sympathy flowing in her bosom.
Hence it is that she can apostrophise them with such
a tender reminiscence :

" Oh, the birds, the trees, the ruddy
And white blossoms, sleek with rain!
Oh, my garden, rich with pansies!
06, my childhood's bright romances!
All revive, like Hector's body,
And I see them stir again!"
"Elinor Travis" is concluded, and that with some
vigorous writing. A capital bit of pleasantry, is,
" A New Sentimental Journey," and would have tickled
the ribs of that pensive hypocrite, Lawrence Sterne
himself. " The Conde's Daughter" is another read-
able tit-bit,—one of those bits of literary comfits and
barley-sugar Christopher North has such an insinuating
wayof placing on the public palate. "Wild Sports and
Natural History of the Highlands" is a contribution
which will be devoured with more relish, possibly,
than any other at this particular season, when Egg
and Manton have marched forth upon the heather.
To " Letters and Impressions from Paris " we can
moreover refer every one with a confidence of its
wiling away the next wearisome half-hour. It is 2.
trip to the French metropolis without the perils of
rail and steam-boat. In this admirable number of
Blackwood, however, commend us to the " Vladika
of Montenegro."
