THE KING V.
,PATItICK SHIELD.

Mr. NOLAN prayed the Judgment of the
Court on this defendant, whd had pleaded Guilty-
•to an information filed against him by the Attor-
ney-General, for a violent assault on John
Gater and others, Officers of his Majesty's Excise.
An affidavit was put in by the defendant, in
which he pleaded ignorance of the law and ex-
treme poverty.—Mr. GURNEY addresied the
Court in aggravation, and insisted that the de-
fendant was a proper subject for a severe punish-
ment.—The Court, after a short consultation,
sentenced him to be imprisoned nine months in
Maidstone Gaol, to pay a fine of 50/., and to find
security in 2001. for good behaviour for two
years.

Ma. BUTTERWORTU, M.ll.—We find that this
Gentleman was not in the House of Commons on
Wednesday morning last at the division on the
Marquess of TAVISTOCICS motion, and that he
did not vote upon that occasion.

We are authorised 'to state, that Mr. WM.
LEEK; whose name appeared in the Majority
upon the Marquess of TAVISTOCK'S motion, and
who was obliged, in consequence of indisposition,
to leave the House before twelve o'clock, did
not vote upon that occasion. The name of Sir
Joux MAJoainANKs appears in the List of the
Minority erroneously. It: ought to have been
STEWAILT MAJORIBANKS, Esq. It is extremely
difficult to make Lists perfectly correct, where so
many Members vote.--( igorning Chronicle.)

WEST COWES, FED. 10.-On the Anniversary
of the KING'S Accession to the Throne, the Na-
tional School, which has been erected by the mu-
nificence of his MAJESTY and her Royal highness
the Princes's Sophia Matilda of Gloucester, and
several Noblemen and Ladies of distinction, who
occasionally reside at this attractive place, as well
as the inhabitants of it, Was opened, with a cere-
mony appropriate to so interesting 'an occasion.
The children, 190 in number, of both sexes,
walked in procession to the Church, preceded by
the Rev. Messrs. Gill and Nicksofi, with their
Master and Mistress, Mr. Matthews and Miss
Stephens, and returned afterwards to the School

Room, where they were regaled with an ample
provision of roast beef, plum pudding, &c.
Letters were on Saturday received, dated
Buenos Ayres, November 23. There had been
no late intelligence received from Chili. The
presence of the French squadron in the River
Plate continued to attract much attention. A
vessel had arrived from France off Maldonado,
with twelve months' provisions for the Squadron,
whose ultimate destination still remained a pro-
found secret.

We are inforMeti that,- in the course of the
present year, the riumber of ships which it has
been determined shall be kept in an effective
state for commission, will be completed, and that
a general discharge of workmen from all the
dock-yards will ensue. The decreased number
at this yard, it is supposed, will exceed 1,500.—
The naval force to be kept up is 80 sail of the
line, with a suitable proportion of. frigates and
sloops.—(Portsmouth Paper.)
Government, it is said, allots 100 acres of land
to each family of the emigrants from Glasgow
and Paisley, who are going out to Upper Ca-
nada, and 10/, to each individual on his arrival,
provided they themselves are at the expence of
going out. They have received considerable
assistance both at Glasgow and Edinburgh ; but
their funds are yet insufficient.
The Rev. S. PARKINS has been instituted to

the Vicarage of Preston Deanry, Northampton..
shire, vacant by the death of the Rev. TnomAs
WATTS.-Patron, LANGHAM CHRISTIE, Esq.

A county meeting of the Stewartry of Orkney,
held at Kirkwall, on the. 10th ult. exhibited the
very unusual circumstance, in these Northern re-
gions, of three addresses having been proposed
arid seconded—a loyal, an ultra-loyal, and a ra-
dical address, all of which have been left forSig-
nature.—(lnilerness Journal.)

ribE TO FACTION.
BI

ITENtE to thy native hell again,:.
FACTION, foulest Fiend of men ;.
What ghastly Furies mark'd thy hated birth ;
Midneiis, Revenge, and fell Despair
With gloomy Discontent were there—
Be this the Imp; they cried, to scourge the subject Earth !
Known by thy phrenzy-rollirg.eye,
Link'd with the archfiend Blasphemy,
Known by the maniac CreW that through -thy side,
Before thee rush the Dogs of War,
Rapine stalks behind thy car,
And Desolation spreads her ruin wide.

Yeroft each horrid yell between,
The placid_eye, the look serene
Essays to catch the young unwary breast -
The purpose dark, the infectious guile
Couch'ci beneath the specious smile, ,
And, lo ! the dagger's point beneath. theohloCid-stain'd vest

• Deaf to theiounds of human woe
Thy frozen tears forget to flow,
Deaf to the widow's plaint, the orphafiss cry
What ! tho' flames around Thee rise,
With savage joy they glut thine eyes,
Nor, like Nero, even dost Thou heave a sigh !

Yet 'mid these dreadful scenes of blood;
Tho' wallowing in the purple flood,
Corruption oft Ms plied her wily art; .
And when ceas'd the battle's roar,
And delusion's charm was o'er,
How halt Thou guaw'd thyself, and torn thine own vile heart
Hence, join thy Gallia's2frantic throng
Who raise the democratic song,
Waving their red caps, badge of Liberty;
Go, ne'er desert thy glorious cause ; _
For thee they burst each nation's laWs,
For thee, degeflerate Race, insulted Majesty.

Yes, we have seen thie hov'ring o'er
Britain's sea-encircled shore,
And brooding once upon the main below ;*
But know, the undaunted Power
Collected stands in danger's hour,
Prepared to rush upon his secret foe.

Know that her tutelary God
Vindictive stands with iron rod,
And bares-his red right arm on fiends like thee ;
And holds Religion's golden shield,
To which each Pow'r appall'd must yield,
To save from thy great grasp The Isle of Liberty.
