DANCING SONG.
(From the Weekly Dispatch.)

Dance, dance, as long as ye can,
We must travel through life, but why make a dead march of it?
The fine linen of State m 43, sit well upon man,
But 'tie pleasant, methinks, just to rills out the starch of it.
Dance, dance, as long as ye may,
See the plumes of the pine, how they dance on the mountain :
See the ocean floods dance while the winds pipe and play,
. See the radiant bubble-drops dance iu the fountain.
Dance, dance, let no cynic rebel,
See the stars are for ever all dancing and twinkling ;
'Tie the music of spheres that they dance to so well,
And that music is ceaseless, though soft be the tinkling.

Dance, dance, every one,
The gnats round our heads dance in endless gyration ;
The very worlds foot it away round the sun,
Keeping up the old figure first led by Creation.
Dance, dance, see the sweet rose
itend to the blue-bell in light minuetting ;
Summer leaves fall when the the autumn gust blows,
But they dance and die merrily wildly pousettieg.
Dance, dance, look on the pill,
The white lillies nod, and the bulrushes quiver;
The beautiful water. flags ! when are the still ?
They dance in the mill-pond, they dance in the river.

Dance, dance, see over head,
How the clouds dance along, with the gauzy robes streaming,
Look below, see the legion of dancers that spread
In the corn-ears that shake with tht it golden crowns gleaming.
Dance, dance, the wisp-light will try
With its harlequin dancing to tempt the lost Langer;
The flame of the Ingle-log dances on high,
To shed joy in the household, and beacon the stranger.
Dance, dance, the savage is found
Dancing in fury, in triumph, and laughter;
•
The child from the village school. trammels unbound,
Dances as rarely he's seen to dance after.
Dance, dance, as long as ye ma),
Nature gets up a great " ballet" abou( us ;
Her stage-room is vast, so come trip it away,
For Life's Opera cannot be perfect without us.

DRAMATIC INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.—The Old Theatre Royal, Liverpool,
still keeps up its powerful attraction. The houses are literally
crowded to suffocation. Mr. Webster, of the Haymarket, has
been performing here during the week, with Madame Celeste,
in the popular dramas of Victor and Hortense and The Pretty
Girls of Slithery, and both have been applauded to the echo.
Indeed, the interest excited was intense. The theatre has
been open but seven nights, and nearly 18,000 persons have
paid to enter it. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam appear next
week in a new operatic drama, adapted and partly re-written
from Donizetti's Opera of La Fille du Regiment, as Mr.
Webster returns to London to superintend the revival of The
Merry Wives of Windsor, at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket,
on Tuesday night, in which Madame Vestris and Mrs. Nisbett
will enact the Merry Wives.

THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER AND THE

ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.

We have just heard a rumour, to the effect that the Mar-
quis of Westminster has sent a very complimentary letter to
the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League, accompanied by the
munificent subscription of 5001., in aid of the Great League
Fund. If this should be true, it will be another very
" great fact" for the Times, falling like a thunderbolt amongst
the monopolists, who plead the absolute necessity of a
continuance of the corn-laws, as a means of providing for their
mortgages and marriage settlements. The Noble Marquis is
one of the greatest landowners, and most opulent noblemen
in the kingdom, and so munificent and practical a protest
against the iniquitous corn-laws, as that which he is reported
to have made, would, in conjunction with those of Earl
Spencer, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Ducie, and other distinguished
Peers and agriculturists, be the death-knell of monopoly.—

his deplorable condescension. For the rest, on
whatever subjects we may happen to require in-

no longer look for any satisfaction from that quar-

present Government. We were led to expect
marvellous things not long back, in the way of
reciprocity. Prosperity Freddy was to be no-

sentatives to us to offer reciprocity. We
would not take it—we would move no finger
to preserve, upon equitable terms, a commerce,
the value of which has been estimated from
three to five millions annually. The envoy
of Brazil has gone back to study the part
of a Roland for our Oliver. We, on the other

AINSWORTII'S MAGAZINE..
Contents of the JANUARY NUMBER :
SAINT JAMES'S: OR, THE COURT OF QUEEN

ANNE.
By W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, Eaq.
Book I. Illustrated by GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.

With contributions froni Leigh Hunt, Mrs. S. C. Hall, John
Oxenford, Charles Oilier, Camilla Toulmin, R. B. Pitman,
Miss Skelton, W. F. Ainsworth, Catherine Hutton, Leman
Blanchard, the late Dr. Maginn, Reviews of Charles Dickens, &c.
" Mr. Ainsworth opens his new tale of St. James's, or the
Court of Queen Anne,' with much animation and directness of
purpose, bringing us at once, and without ceremony, into the
company of some of his leading personages. Mr. Ainsworth
has been singularly fortunate in his choice of subject ; and his
dexterous introduction of the wily adventurer Guiscard will
give him an opportunity, in due course, of exhibiting his admi-
rable descriptive powers to advantage. The dialogue between
Marlborough and his wife, where Abigail is the theme of their
discourse and the object of their suspicion, is in the author's
most natural and forcible manner, being a correct index to cha-
racter—the greatest recommendation that dialogue can possess.
Charles Oilier's Benighted Traveller' is told so pleasantly,
that it is impossible to read it without interest. Daphne of
Antioch' describes with much minuteness of detail that enchant-
ing and voluptuous spot. In the present chapters of ' John
Manesty,' the plot begins to clear up a little. Jemmy Scrap'
is a sprightly tale. Long Hours,' by Mrs. S. C. Hall, is
conceived in a kindly spirit. By the way of wind-up to our
notice, we may state that a charming likeness of the Editor,
from the pencil of Maelise, who has presented him in most pic-
turesque and exalted mood, seated in a high-backed Elizabethan
arm-chair, adds greatly to the value ana attractions of the num •

SUGAR.—The home consumption Sugar Market has pre-
sented a healthy appearance this week, the trade have been de-
sirous to do business, merchants have offered their Sugars
sparingly, and prices have taken an upward turn. This after-
noon at public sale Barbadces Sugar went with spirit at prices
fully Is per cwt above those of the last auction ; fine yellow
fetched 66s to 675, good 64s to 64s 6d, and middling 63s to 63s
6d per cwt; 144 hhds ti 9 brls of St Lucia all sold, sad
supported the rates paid by private contract ; good middli

good brown 55s 6d to 565, middling, 553, low soft Ms, washe
and shifted 56s 6d to 58s 6d per cwt. To-day all qualities of
West India Sugar were in excellent request, and better prices
were again paid, making the advance for the week Is per cwt,
and the total purchases 2,600 hhds and tierces, being a larger
quantity than has been sild for a very long period during the,
same time, the market closing with a firm aspect.
HEFINED.—A brisk demand has been experienced for all
descriptions of Refined Goods for home consumption this week;
further advanced rates have been paid ; and the Sugar houses
arc mostly bare of goods. To-day many parcels of Refined
Sugar were taken by the home trade ; Standard Lumps sold
at 74s 6d to 755. and brown Grocery 73s 6d per cwt. In
Bonded Crushed Sugar large sales have been made for forward

FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

The proceedings of the late Session of Parliament,
especially as regards the Church, seem to have be-
wildered Fraser as much as they would have be-
wildered Lord Eldon, had that stiff old ultra-Tory
been alive to witness them. "Poor Mother Church,'
says our disheartened monthly Contemporary, "is
going sadly to the wall ! It is the doctrine of modern
Conservatism to keep her down. We wont destroy
her. Oh, no! But we will do all that we can to
prevent her from exercising any more the supremacy
which used in former times to belong to her. 11, e
quite expect to see, ere another year passes over us,
an accredited Minister from the Court of St. James's
to that of St. Peter at Rome ; and it will be no object
of surprise to us to find two Established Churches, or
possibly no Established Church at all, recognised in
Ireland. And all will have been the work of a Con-
servative Government ?" Really the Conservatives
are a most unlucky set of people, for they appear to
please nobody. The Whigs distrust them—the
Tories all but repudiate them—and the Radicals hold
them in utter abhorrence for their halting and
evasive course of policy. Well, we are not sorry for
the frequent rebuffs they meet with, even from their
former friends, for they have done their best to deserve
them by their want of principle, and the spaniel-like
submissiveness which they have exhibited towards their
task-master, on whom, the more he has lashed them,
the more they have fawned. " Campbelliana" is a
collection of personal reminiscences of the author of
the " Pleasures of Hope." These reminiscences are
not 'mined in the most friendly spirit, but leave an
impression on the mind that the subject of them was a

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Two men, named Frederick Ferrett and Robert
McCulloch, were charged with being drunk, and a
gentleman residing in Marylebone-street was charged
with having indecently assaulted the defendant Fer-
rett. Ferrett was first placed at the bar.
Police-constable Drane said, that about half-past
one o'clock that morning he saw all the three defend-
ants in the Haymarket. M'Culloch called to him,
and said, that a gentleman had attempted to take inde-
cent liberties with his friend Ferrett, and Ferrett
thereupon made the same accusation. Witness seeing
that Ferrett was quite drunk, and that M'Culloch was
nearly drunk, refused to take the charge, but told
them all to go the station-house and make the charge
there. They did so, and the charge was taken against
the two first defendants for being drunk, and against
the other defendant for the indecent assault. The
acting inspector who took the charge proved that
Ferrett was drunk, and he was therefore fined five
shillings. Robert M'Culloch was next charged with
being in liquor.
Mr. MALTBY required an explanation of this term,
which was, that the defendant was not so drunk as
Ferrett.
Mr. MALTBY could not entertain the charge in that
shape, and therefore dismissed it.
The third defendant was then placed at the bar,
charged with indecently assaulting Ferrett. After a
very long investigation it appeared that there was no
foundation whatever for this charge.
Mr. Woolf, who appeared for the defendant, offered
to bring proof that the defendant was a person of the
highest respectability, but Mr. Maltby said there was
no occasion for any such evidence. It was altogether
an extremely improbable case, supported by most un-
satisfactory evidence. Both the defendants making
the charge had been drinking, and one of them was
quite drunk. M‘Culloch knew nothing more than
what he- had learned from Ferrett as to the assault, and
the state in which Ferrett was at the time rendered it
impossible to depend on the accuracy of his story ; he
should therefore order the defendant to be dismissed
immediately.
Mr. Woolf said it was the intention of the defend-
ant, against whom this most unfounded charge had
been brought, to prosecute the authors of it. No
man's character or honour was safe if such conduct
was overlooked.
Ferrett and M'Culloch were then ordered to enter
into their own sureties to meet any charge brought
against them.

issuing from the press in half-sheet numbers, three numbers being
published weekly.

GRAVESEND.

On Friday, on the county Magistrates, Messrs.
Oakes, Tickner, and Spencer, presiding at the Town-
hall, High-street, for the purpose of disposing of
persons under arrest, the following charge was entered
upon against a Mr. William Smith, a gentleman, but
who, in reality, is the scion of a noble family, and
holds a lieutenantcy in one of the regiments stationed
at Chatham, and who, on the present occasion, assumed
a fictitious name, for conductingi himself in a most
mischievous and wanton manner.
The prisoner not being in custody of the police to
meet the charge,
Mr. OAKES informed his brother Magistrates that
he had been waited upon early that morning by the
friends of the unfortunate young gentleman, in the
hope that he might be liberated, as he had to mount
guard at an early hour on that day, and if he was not
in attendance, the consequences might prove most
serious to him. He, therefore, consulted with the
police as to the offence the prisoner had committed,
and finding that it was one of those foolish boyish
freaks, he allowed him to be set at large, so that he
might go on duty. They, therefore, would adjudi-
cate upon the case in the absence of the accused.
Mr. TicKNEß—But where is the bail-book ? Was
there no security given for a man's liberation from the
custody of the police ?
Mr. OAKES (very low)—No, no ; the police are sa-
tisfied. Nowlet us hear the evidence.
John Newing, police-constable 10, stated, that be-
tween twelve and one he saw four young gentlemen
walking up Harmer-street in rather a noisy and
lively style, and presently he noticed the accused
kick his heel against one of the Star steam-packet
boards, placed against the rails in the crescent at the
top of the street, and broke it in pieces. He then in-
quired of him for what reason he had so wilfullyda-
maged the board. No satisfactory reply was given
and he then felt bound to take him into custody, there
having been numerous complaints respecting the
breakage of the several steam companies' boards.
Mr. OAKES—WeII, we fine the accused ss. for the
offence, and if the officer will go down to the Falcon
Tavern and present my compliments to Mr.. Frei,*
stating the amount of the fine, it will be
d.
The officer acted according to his directions, and in
a few minutes returned with the silver.

THE Pooß MAN'S Law.—A poor donkey-driver
was charged with driving his ass without a badge
empowering him to do so.
Mr. OAKES observed that if the laws were made
they must be attended to, and the least they could
fine the prisoner was the amount of expenses he had
incurred, viz., 7s. 6d., V 1 hich the poor fellow reluctantly
paid out of his hard-got earnings, and was then
allowed to depart.

limited, and of inferior quality. The supplies of meat
slaughtered in the metropolis have, however, been ex-
tensive. Prime Beef and Mutton have commanded a

EXAMPLES.
London, England, 1844-09-02

I could weep for all the gloom,
Like a mourner at a tomb.
Earth's heart grieveth like my own
For the gladness that is flown.
Dreary season, saddest time,
Gloomy days of storm and rain.
Binding even song's glad chime
With a weary, leaden chain !
When I hear of lands far hence,
Where the summer's influence
Burneth through the livelong year,
I could weep that I avn here,
And my inmost heart is stirr'd,
Pining like a captive bird."
Thus my fretful spirit said
Only yesterday ;
Now those darker thoughts are dead,
Now my heart is gay !
Oh, the pomp mine eyes have seen !
Oh, the glory that hath been I
Every branch and every spray
Wore a radiant garb to-day;
Not its veil of summer green,
And yet as beautiful a dress,
White, and dazzling in its sheen,
'Wondrous in its loveliness ;
And the sunbeams, gliding through
Knotted oak and beechen bough,
Made the upland's woody height
Seem a region of delight ;
The very silence made it seem
Less like truth than some fair dream !
