A M.
A A few nights back, in health and spirits prime,
I went to rest about my usual time,
Nor did the clock a dozen minutes number,
Before I sank into a peaceful slumber.
And while I thus reposed upon my bed,
A sound of music floated round my head ;
For, understand, although I was asleep,
Some little consciousness I seemed to keep ;
So, when I heard the music, soft and sweet,
I knew the Christmas waits we re in the street.
I listened to their strains in various modes,
And f aidly thought of Pope's and Dryden's Odes,
In which, by either poet, we are told,
Of what the famed musicians did of old ;
And while I heard the music of the waits,
I pictured harpers at the castle gates.
And many a fond romantic scene arose,
Till music steeped me in a deeper doze.
A curious dream then came across my mind,
Original and novel in its kind :
Methought that HYAM was desired to call
On Father Christmas at his ancient hall;
The object of the visit was nut stated,
And nothing in the least was intimated,
Yet HYAM, from his manner, seemed to guess
Some special refrence with regard to dress,
And making up his mind without delay,
He called on Christmas on the appointed day.
The abode of Father Christmas was a pile
Precisely in the old baronial style ;
A noble English mansion did it seem,
And much aid it delight me in my dream.
Thick on its lawn the holly bushes grew,
The smiling mistletoe and myrtle, too.
While verdant bays and laurel boughs were seen
To vary pleasingly the winter green.
lIYAM arrived precisely to his time,
And bound the " festive father" in his prime ;
His eyes were bright, his cheeks were full of glow,
Just as they were five hundred years ago.
" Good morning, sir (said Christmas), how d'ye do "
"Good morning, sir (said IiYAM), how are you ?"
And thus the usual compliments were passed,
Till business things were introduced at last.
" I sent for you (said Christmas), to enquire
What stock you have of gentlemen's attire ?
I'm rather anxious, Sir, for your reply,
As Christmas time is now se very nigh,
A few more days, and we shall find it here,
With all its happiness and social cheer;
And I'm ambitious (said the good old sire)
Of seeing all appear in good attire.
A sumptuous feast is very well, I know,
And glad I am my subjects find it so :
I love the feast, the holly, and the log—
But what are these without a change of ' tog ?'
While we're attending to the inner man,
We ought to mind the outward all we can.
And, therefore, Mr. HYAII, do I ask,
How you, this season, have performed your task ?
I scarcely have a doubt (continued he),
That what you've done will be approved by me ;
But notwithstanding this, I wish to hear
What you've performed in your extensive sphere ?"
Here Christmas paused—nor need I tell you why,
He merely paused, awaiting a reply.
" Father (said lIYAM, with respectful bow),
If I was ever honoured, it is now ;
And I'm prepared, without one if or but,'
To answer every question you have pat.
The preparations I have made (said HYAM),
Will satisfy the multitudes that try 'em.
All kinds of Christmas dress—designed anew,
At my Establishment are brought to view.
I've winter wrappers, good in snake and cloth,
Fit to defy the winter's utmost wrath.
Such over-coats as those which I've in store
Are better than were ever made before.
I've dress (said HYAM), in the various styles,
And first-rate suits for youths and juveniles ;
There's not a thing in which I've been remiss
At such a time of holidays as this,
And, Sir, (said lIYAM), I would have you know
That all my goods are sold extremely low.
Economy has ever been my law,
And from this rule I never will withdraw."
" Hear, hear (said Christmas, rising from his chair),
That's famous, Mr. lIYAM, I declare.
I wish you much success, nor do I doubt
That thousands will by you be well-rigg'd out.
I'll not emit to recommend your dress
To all my friends—l can't, in fact, do less.
I find that you adopt the very way
To realise success—good day—good day."
Here both shook hands, and bid a warm adieu,
Well pleased, of course, with such en interview.
And finding matters come to this decision,
I lelt so happy that I lost my vision ;
But, should I have another, you shall know it,
For I'm a most communicative poet.

L. lIYAM and Co. beg distinctly to state that goods made by
them can only be obtained at their places of business. 36, Grace-
church-street, and 86, Oxford-street ; and at their various establish-
ments in the following towns:—Birminchmn, Manchester, Liverpool,

VRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy
of this medicine :

" Winchmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851.

" Sir,—ln considoratt,n of the great benefit I have derived from
taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards or
nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills,
I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothbag to equal it.
"I am, Sir, es pectfully,

"Defence Association" met yesterday to elect a sect*.
tary. Dr. APl:hie was i: the chair. He was sup-
ported by four other Roman Catholic prelates, sad
nine Members of Parliament. There were sixteen
candidates for the situation, the salary of which has
been fixed at 3001. The general Opinion was, that
the election would be a mere matter of form, and
that Mr. James Burke, barrister—the
originated the association, and
who,
gentleman who
in spite of
influential opposition, worked it up to its present
position—would be returned by an overwhelming
majority. The public have been deceived
has been grossly ill-treated. He was sot iasaidned forhe
Mr. Wilberforce, a member of the English bar for
the curious reasons that he is a pervert to Popery„„. and
brother to the Bishop of Oxford. This, M. Burke
may well say, is a specimen of the ingratitude of man,
so powerfully described by Shakspere. The associa-
tion ought now to remunerate Mr. Burke for •
his
seven or eight months' hard labour in its original COW-
struction.— Herald.

STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NEW 'Yon],
AND GALWAY.—The Gaiway Vindicator of Tuesday
contains the following:—A letter reached Galway
this morning from a gentleman in reference to steam
communication between this port and New York.
For some time past, the American committee that was
formed to carry out the project had a good deal of up-
hill work, bat they are now in a position to bring their
arrangements to a speedy and satisfactory completion.
They have received every encouragement from the
President of the United States, who promised to re-
commend in his Message the dispatch of the American
mails by the line of steamers about to be formed be.
tween Galway and New York. Taking all the cir-
cumstances into account, and recollecting the encou-
ragement which Mr. Wagst:affe received in this coun-
try, we are, on the whole, inclined to think that the
United States will start for Galway.
INSPECTORS or MEDICAL CHARITIES.--The
Limerick Chronicle says :—" The fixed salary of In-
spector under the Medical Charities Act is 500/.
a-year, with 11. ls. per day while on district duty,
and 9d. per mac travelling expenses. There were
300 physician and surgeon applications before the
Poor-14w Commissioners for the five places now
filled up.
THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER RICHARD DYAS, ESQ.
—The gentry of the district of Charlestown-Delviu—
the scene of the attempted assassination of Richard
Dyas, Esq., on the 19th of November last—have sub-
scribed the sum of 6001. as a reward for the convic-
tion of the perpetrators of that outrage. The Go-
vernment has likewise offered 1001. on the usual con-
ditions. A portion of the above liberal reward of 700/.
will be paid for such private information as may lead
to the detection of the guilty parties.
EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL.—Tree Chief 13 Iron of the
Excht-quer, with a special jury, were occupi-d from
Thurs(l4v last until last evening with t'l,-_t singular
case of Widinn lieory M.thew against Dr. William
Harty and Robert Stok-s, in which ?he plaintiff
sought for damages to the extent of 5,000/. for false
imprisonment.

The defence set up was that the plaintiff had been
confined as a dangerous lunitie. According to the
statement of Mr. White,ide Q.C., as counsel for the
t'w case was full of mystery, and, he might
have added, of the romance of real life. However,
as the trial progressed both the history and the ro-
mance vanished, and now it appears a very intel-
liciblc' but, nevertheless, very extraordinary case.
The plaintiff, who seems to be now about 25 years of
age, never could ascertain who his parents were until
Monday last, when the fact was admitted in open
court by counsel for Dr. Ilarty that he (Dr. H.) was
his father. The narrative of the unhappy plaintiff's
life—as a school-boy, a student in college, and latterly
as a tutor, his cares and troubles, his successes and
disappointments, and his never-ending anxieties to
learn who he was—formed a fertile subject for his
eloquent counsel to dwell upon, while the auditory in
court, as well as the public out of doors, were deeply
interested in the case. Throughout his whole career
Dr. Harty acted as his guardian. He gave him to
understand that he had a fund placed at his disposal
for the purpose of his education, and when he cams
to man's estate the doctor helped him to provide for
himself, as a tutor. The plaintiff having become
rather troublesome to Dr. Harty, this gentleman
brought him off to Swift's hospital, where he had him
locked up as a dangerous lunatic, but from whence he
procured his discharge, through the intercession of a
person to whom he appealed to have his wrongs made
known in the proper quarter.
The plaintiff was examined and cross•examined at
considerable length on Saturday, and as far es the
mere spectators could form an opinion, his testimony
was that of a sane person. He admitted that whilst
studying for college honours he had been subject to
attacks of dyspepsia and great depression of spirits
then and subsequently.
Dr. Harty is himself the proprietor of a private lu-
natic asylum. He is now about 70 years of age.
His counsel, Mr. Martley, thus divulged the secret,
which the unhappy plaintiff had been all his life
anxiously endeavouring to discover :
" Dr. Harty (said Mr. Martley) is a very old man.
I understand he is in a most precarious state of health.
I am told that his production in a court of justice may
be fatal to his life. lam not answerable for it ; but
he and those who are interested for him consider that
anything is preferable to the imputation that has been
cast upon him, and at the risk of his life Dr. Harty
shall appear before you. And am I not warranted
in saying that this is the most painful case that ever
occurred ? This young man had heard rumours
about his parents. He had been desirous to discover
them. Dr. Harty shall be produced ;he shall be sub-
jected to a pretty severe examination ; he shall be
obliged to admit, and the shame of a public admis-
sion and exposure is no trifling penalty to a man
about to leave the world—that this young man wbo
is now persecuting him to the death is his own ille-
gitimate son.—(Great sensation.) He must boatdeence

The Chief Baron summed up the evidence.
The jury then retired to their room, and after an
absence of about fifteen minutes returned to the box,
and the fireman handed down a verdict for the plain-
tiff for 1,0001.
The announcement produced loud and prolonged
applause.
Mr. Armstrong, on bebclf of the plaintiff, applied
to his Lordship to certify that the case was a proper
one to be tried by a special jury.
The Chief Baron assented.
The Court then adjourned.
