To record hiy great Name.

For ail must revere,
A Hello so dear,

When War's dire Alarms,
Call'4:l BRIT'ONS tO -VMS,
The Sons of old N EY fux c so brave,
Vow'd,—" To their last Breath,
" They'd seek Glory or Death,
" And maintain British Rights o'er the Wave !"

Brave l'lsr.sor's the Man, •
Who to F Asir led the Van,
his YAKS with true Loyalty crown'd,
In Battle so brave,
Prov'd their Rights o'er the Wave,
By a CoN2uLsr thro' Europe renown'd i

rh'
To a Hero so brave,
A Nile r'R'y surpass'd yet by no Man

No Name half so dear,

some Hymrrs by the Children, his Lordship, Sir W.
and LadyfHAMturoN, &c. left Birmingham about
one o'clock for WarlviA Castle, and were accom-
panied to Hockley house by 'Messrs. LEDSKM and
RADENHURST, the principal Officers of the Town.
His Lordship expressed himself highly pleased with
the reception he had received, which must have been
gratifying beyond measure, - ,

At Bodmin Assizes, 'which began on the 17th
ult. three Gentlemen of the names of Adam, Bur-
ro:l,e, and Fitz, were tried, in consequence of a
prosecution instituted at the suit of the Attorney_
• General, charging them with an attempt to pervert
-the ends of justice, by giving a false charaaer,to
one Jacob Ciabb. This man had been conviaed
some years ago, of assaulting Revenue Officers,
and when hronght to receiveindgmenti an Affida-
vit. from rvlr..hi a, in mitigation of puni-hmept,
presented Urabh its honest, industrious; &c. Crabb
w„S afterwards conviaed of a similar offence (he was
• in fatt t Smuggler) ; and when brought up a second
time :o receive j -Ignienti Mr. Fitz and the two
other Defendan,s delivered in Affidavits' declaring
him to he a man of good charaaetc • •
Mr. DALLAs, for the prosecution, contended,
'that the Defendants, knowing the offences commit-
ted by Crabb—knowing that.he wain the' habit of
defrauding the Revenue„ could not, without com-
mitting peijury, swear that such a charatler was an
honest man.

• Mr. ERSKINE observed, that. these Gentlemen
swore only as to their .knowledge_of the man's
private eharaCter. He then made•an able speech in
favour of the attendants, -who-were acquitted:
• On Wednesday Mat). Barrington, of notorious
character, -:was charged at Guildhall on stispicion of
ricking the pocket' of a tradesman, of Union street,
Ratclifil6ighway; On Tuesday night last, in New-
gate-weer, <I one guinea.. The ,Prosecutor not
being 'to swear positively that the Prisoner
pisilced his pocket, there being another woman in
company at the rime; who made her escape, she
was discharged of ;the' but committed to
liridewelLii)r one month, as a common prostitute.
