THE SUN, LONDON, .THURSDAY. EVENI,N(, FEBRUARY 1, 1844.

The CHIEF .TheTlCE—That this unpleasant matter
play-at once be.get at rest, the Court -think that they
may call upon each gentleman to declare that he is
satisfied to abide by what has just fallen from Mr. Moore.
Mr. FITZGIBBON—I can only say that I did not mean
to attribute any unworthy motive to the Attorney-
General, and I have no other feeling towards him et the
present moment different from what I felt this morning.
Thus the matter dropped.
Mr. FITZGIBBON then resumed, and continued his ad-
dress until a quarter to five o'clock, when the Court
rose, the Learned Gentleman being still in possession of
their Lordships' attention. When the Judges were
about to leave the bench,

Dr. Gray said, my Lord, I beg leave to know if I can
offer a few words to
.your Lordships with respect to
what occurred to day in Court.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—We cannot hear you now, Sir,
address the Court. Have you not Counsel, andhave
you not been heard through your Counsel ?
Dr. Gray—lf your Lordships hear me for a few mo-
ments, I will not trespass long upon the attention of the
Court.

CHIEF JUSTICE—The Court will not hear any gentle-
men when they have Counsel.
Judge PERRIN—And during the speech of their
Counsel.

CHIEF JUSTICE—And during the speech of Counsel.
The Court then adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow

he employed the interval with the greatest -assiduity in
kindling a curiosity in the public mind concerning me,
which he inflamed to the highest pitch of longing. When
he thought them sufficiently aroused; and the moment ripe
for the event, he announced it with a flourish of his mana-
gerial trumpet that rung through the startled ears
of all Paris. The night came, and my destiny
with it. What my emotions were, it would be a vain
attempt to pourtray ; but I felt that the result decided my
career, that I should remain a favoured and admired plant in
this rich and coveted soil, or be nipped in the bud, and fall
withered and forgotten, into darkest obscurity. Every thing
was most judiciously arranged by the vigilant and sagacious
directeur, for he knew his interest would be greatly affected
by the public decision. A divertissement was got up for the
occasion, and it was so managed that I did not appear until
the public impatiende was wound up to an almost intolerable
point. It was contrived that I should appear with a close
veil over my head and face, and which fell so amply down, as
nearly to conceal my person. In this shrouded form I
ap-
peared on the stage, near to the lamps, and -stood thus for a
minute, whilst a pantpmimic colloquy was going on about
me. The house was silent, and almost breathless with ex-
pectation; my veil was thrown back, and instantly every
opera-glass was levelled at. my devoted head. I shrunk
under the intensity of the gaze, so fixed and piercing; I fan-
cied I was burning under the ardent stare directed so steadily
upon me, As glass after glass was withdrawn,• the pent-up
feelings of the house found relief in loud murmurs of satis7.
faction, as I was told, being too anxious to determine the
point lor myself. My dancing gave equal pleasure, and as
the ballet went on I rose in public estimation, till at the
close I was called for, and received the heartiest tokens of
admiration and good-will, more than I either deserved or
expected ; yes, far more. My success was, indeed, a prize
for me. How much had I not to fear from the experienced
judgment,, the refined taste, of the French public,and the
surpassing merit of my rivals! Taglioni was then at the
very height of her renown ; the matchless creation La
Sylphide, had carried her reputation.to the uttermost ends of
Europe, and her nightly performances at the Opera were
hailed with enthusiastic plaudits by her enraptured admirers ;
and truly her execution was superb and faultless. ' Graceful
as a swan, she glided majestically across the scene, leaving
in her wake mute wonder, and delight. No one compre-
hended her perfection more fully, no one enjoyed it more
heartily, than I did. Is it wonderful, then, that I trembled
when I stepped forth, night after night, to contest with her
the coveted palm of superiority, and divide with her the
spoils of public favour?"

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

One of the most agreeable articles in this Number
is a critical essay on the popular songs of the French
poet Beranger, between whom and Moore the follow-
ing comparison is instituted :—" Moore's sentiment is
enveloped in a vague and distant association ; the
thought of Beranger is bare and has a definitive aim.
The one resembles the sword of Harmodius, sheathed
in its myrtles ; the other is the palpable dagger of
Brutus. Moore's style is elegant and pointed, while
Beranger's is simple and concise." the critic then
proceeds to give translations of s ome of Beranger's
best lyrics, and is, we think, successful in his versions.
" Life of Gerald Griffin" is a laudatory notice of a
recently published biographical memoir of the gifted
author of " Gisippus." " Arrah Neil, or Times of
Old," is a tale from the pen of that most prolific of
living novelists, Mr. James. It is very tedious and
languid in places, and bears marks of having been
dashed off in breathless haste. In the " Episodes of
Eastern Travel" we meet with some forcible sketches
of the Nile, and the scenery in the neighbourhood of
Memphis.

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.
We have here, among other papers, some sensible
remarks on the state of affairs in the'East, under the
title of " A Glance at Indian Affairs, Retrospective and
Prospective." The writer is a strenuous defender of
Lord Ellenborough's course of policy, observing that
he "had had great and unusual difficulties to cope with,
and it is no small credit to him to have surmounted
them hitherto with success, and to have extorted
praise in some instances, even from those who would
have gloried in his failure." A "Fortnight's Furlough"
relates some interesting particulars respecting that
Earl of Warwick who lived in the reign of Henry
the Fifth. The remaining articles are of an average
order of merit.

COLONIAL MAGAZINE.
There is considerable tact and judgment displayed
in the getting up of this Magazine, which—as may
be guessed from its title—is exclusively devoted to
the consideration of colonial matters. The informa-
tion it gives us on these matters is copious and well-
digested ; and the Number is embellished with seve-
ral appropriate engravings. The article on the " Past
and Present condition of the Cape of Good Hope "
abounds in curious statistic details.

The Solicitor-General now showed cause against the rule,

The Court decided that the general rule was, that where

BAIL :COURT, Jan. 31.
(Before Mr. Justice WHlLvms.)

THE QUEEN r,

THE POOR-LAW GUARDIANS OF TIIE WAKE-
FIELD UNION.
Mr. Tomlinson moved for a rule to show cause why a writ
or writ-4 of mandamus should not issue against the guardians
of the Wakefield Union, commanding them to pay to the
master of the workhouse two sums of 101. and 5/., portions of
the-salary of himself and his wife, 'as officers of the union
workhouse. The payment had been resisted on the ground
that in consequence of increased charges falling upon the
district, the salaries of the master and matron of the work-
house ought to be reduced.. A correspondence had taken
place on the subject between the Poor4aw Guardians and the
Poor-law Commis-loners, the latter stating that the increase
of poverty adding to the duties of the officers of the union,
could not p,rm ground for reducing their salaries, and they
ordered the salaries to be continued. A majority of guardians
still resisted the payment, and that was the ground of the
present application. The Court had often enforced the powers
of the Poor-law Commissioners in similar cases.
Mr. Justice Williams—The language of the Act is very ex-
tensive as to the power of making orders.
Mr. Tomlinson-1t is, my Lord. The Learned Counsel
then quoted the 46th section of the Act empowering the
Commissioners, amongst other acts, to regulate, when they
thought fit, the amount of salaries payable to poor-law officers.
Mr. Justice Williams—Do the guardians resist their au-
thority ?
Mr. Tomlinson—They respectfully resist it, putting it as a
'natter of duty on their part.—Rule granted.

THE APERITIVE VASE enables any person
(even a child) to apply fluids in such a peculiar manner as to
procure instantly an evacuation from the bowels merely by means of
a little water only ! It is, therefore, a substitute for physic, very
acceptable in every family ; and being, likewise, the most certain and
wholesome remedy that has ever been devised for costiveness, and
for removing redundancies and accumulations in the intestine and
digestive organs, it has been gladly adopted by innumerable indi-
viduals, as a welcome means of release from the habitual use of pur-
gatives, and their baneful effects. The vase forms the reservoir fur
the water, and contains within it, a double-action movement, that
discharges its contents by the slightest effort of the hand, and affords
the utmost privacy, combined with comfort, in its application, its
shape and size allowing of its being carried to any part of the house,
ready charged, concealed in the pocket—thus enabling the most
nervous lady to use it without the aid or knowledge of servants or
others !

House on an early day. For his own part he protested

TAIT'S MAGAZINE.

In Mrs. Gore's tale of " Blanks and Prizes,"
which is resumed in this Number, we find many of
those smart worldly touches of reflection which form
so conspicuous a feature in her tales of fiction. The
narrative, however, is not one of her best, and of the
characters introduced, there is scarcely one that she
has not already pourtrayed. Nevertheless, it reads
off easily and trippingly enough ; and we have been
struck with the truth of this remark :—" The kins-
folk of modern times are apt to resemble crocuses,
which expand like globes of gold in the sunshine, but
shut up their hearts again as soon as the skies are
overcast." The " Song of the Starved by Law," is
a passable parody on Mr. Hood's " Song of the
Shirt," which it may be remembered appeared a few
weeks since in Punch. "Reminiscences of Mrs.
Opie,"—which we are pleased to see are to be con-
tinued—contain an account of an evening spent by
the authoress at Lady Cork's, in the memorable
pear 1814, where she had the honour of an introduc-
tion to Prince Leopold, who had then just arrived in
this country. The " Withered Flower," is a simple,
unaffected poem, but our readers shall judge for
themselves :
" They brought her from the city vast,
To this dim forest dell :
'Twould ease, they said, her pain to tread
The path she lov'd so well.
They led her forth by hill and spring,
And down the flowery den :
They deem'd her childhood's haunts would bring
Her childhood back again.
The flower-buds glisten'd in the grass,
The bird sung in the tree :
A few short summers since, alas !
She sung as blithe as he.
O tell me not, in summer time,
Within this happy dale,
That lady's eye could long be dim,
Her cheek could long be pale !
Yet momently they lost their light,
Like stars, when day's begun,—
Or bluebells sweet, which chill winds blight,
When summer days are done.
And, hour by hour, life's sun sank low,
A sunset sad and bleak—
For death crept quietly and slow,
Like twilight o'er her cheek.
'Twas now the golden autumn time,
The old age of the day,
Each flowery cup was folded up,
Beneath the parting ray;
When, as the Sabbath's dying light
Stole through the lattice in,
That lady closed her eyelids bright,
Upon this world of sin.
Each flowret ope'd its silken bell,
When merry morning shone ;
But noon and evening came—yet still
She silently slept on.
The lilies grow beside her feet,
The violets at her head ;
An angel might not grieve to meet
With such a blessed bed.
They brought her from the city vast,
To this dim forest dell :
Here first it sprung, and here, at last,
The withered floweret fell."
