PURCE LL.

For the just appreciation of the poetry of Purcell's,
music, we must look to posthumous praise, a kind a
late generosity, a sort of tardy justice," viiflaicphareavlieenl
malice renders to the illustrious dead when they are
as insensible to applause or censure as they were once
indifferent. Dr. Burney observes that,
were to be drawn between Purcell and any popular
composer of a different country, reasons might be as..
signed for supposing him superior to any other great
mid favourite contemporary musician in Europe."
However, although in his own country he was not in
his own lifetime at the pinnacle of all English musicians,
a traditionary anecdote (with which the writer of this
article was made acquainted in Italy,) will sufficiently
show that his fame had spread to the Continent, and
procured him the most extravagant admiration on the
part of one whose opinion was " worth a whole theatre
of others ! " Corelli, having seen some of Purcell's
trios in the possession of an English nobleman then
travelling through Italy, was so struck by them, that
h e conceived the romantic idea of visiting their author
in his native land (a journey by no means so facile or
pleasant en route in those days), where he unfor-
tunately arrived three days after the death of our
Orpheus. Single-hearted and single-minded in the
ob,ect of his journey, Corelli exclaimed, " Henry
Purcell dead ! then I have no further bus*iess in this
land ;" and, turning on his heel, departed for his home.
Many compositions have been ascribed after his
death to Purcell (for instance, " Mad Torn," of which
celebrated scena the chief and best portions were in
existence before he was born); while, on the other
hand, it is to be feared that he has been defrauded of
many others which bear internal evidence of his mas-
terly hand. Notwithstanding all that has been said in
favour of Locke's pretensions to the music in Macbeth,
the suspicion that Purcell had more than a little to
do with it is still strong and supportable. But this is
not a place for a controversy of the kind. Henry Pur-
cell was born in 1658, and died in 1695 ; conse-
quently was about thirty-seven years of age, a term
of existence which has, to a curious extent, awaited
many a glorious genius. Purcell excels all other mu-
sicians (not even excepting his mighty follower, Han-
del) in the rigid application of his music to the sense
of tire words ; for which reason we regret to see his
Te Deurn laid aside for even the grand Dettingcn. In
the passage, " Holy, holy," &c., nothing can surpass
the devotional grandeur and simplicity of his treat-
ment of the sublime words. He was buried in West-
minster Abbey, where a monument was raised to his

memory.
The following humorous-rebus, in Latin rhymes,
was written in praise of Purcell, by a person named
Tomlinson, and an English version of it, set to music
in the old popular catch style, by a composer of
the name of Lenton. We subjoin the original and
translation :

Galli marita, par tritico seges,
Prcenomen est ejus dat chromatii leges ;
Intrat cognomen blanditiis cati,
Exit erPmi in cedibus stati ;
Expertum effectum omnes admirentur ;
Quid merent poette ? ut bene calcentur.
A mate to a cock, and corn tall as wheat,
Is his Christian name, who in music's complete;
His surname begins with the grace of a cat,
And concludes with the house of a hermit ; note that.
His skill and performance c4ch auditor wins,
But the poet deserves a good kick on the shins !

This last line is severe, and evidently points at some
individual poet ; and in candour we must say that, if
by this passage an allusion be made to " glorious
John," it is perfectly just; for King Arthur, with itg
chivalrous and romantic subject, has been scurvily
treated by Dryden.—lllustrated News.

INTERESTING VISIT OF H. IVI. S.
CURACOA, TO PITCAIRN'S ISLAND,
EAIIO, &c.

On the 10th July, 1841, the Curacoa took her de-
parture from Valparaiso, to visit the St. Leo Islands,
and after touching at Callao, proceeded direct to Pit-
cairn's Island, which she reached on the 18th Aug.
The inhabitants of this island have increased in num-
ber to 114, the oldest person on the island being the
wife of Christian, the chief of the mutineers, and the
last survivor of those Otaheitians who sailed in the
Bounty from Otaheite to Pitcairn's Island, and he
perfectly recollects the landing of Captain Cook at
Otaheite. On the 29th of August the Curacoa pro-
ceeded to the adjacent island of Emio, where the
Queen and her principal chiefs were residing A few
days after she returned the Captain's visit, accompa-
nied by her husband the King, and the young
Prince and Princesses. After her Majesty had
walked round the decks, she was conducted to
the Captain's cabin, ere a sumptuous en-
tertainment had been provided for her. What ap-
peared to strike her fancy most was the appearance of
the marines and of the marine drummer, with whose
able performance she was so pleased, that she re-
quested as a particular favour that he might be , al-
lowed to play during the time of dinner, and any re-
laxation from his labours was immediately followed
by an exclamation from her Majesty in the Otaheitian
tongue of " More drum, more drum." Pomare, the
Queen, is a very large and tall woman, of appa-
rently thirty years of age, and has a pleasing and
good humoured countenance : her husband, the King,
appear.: to be younger. From Emio, the Curacoa
proceeded to the Sandwich Islands, anchoring in Ka-
rakakoa Bay, in the Island of Whyke, on the 24th
of September. It was here that that celebrated but
unfortunate circumnavigator Cook lost his life, and the
only monument which marks the spot on which he
fell is the etump of an old cocoa-nut tree, with a sheet
of copper nailed on it some years ago by her Majesty's
ship Imogene. A large party of the officers visited
the famous volcano of hirawea. The Curacoa
stayed at Honolulu until the 14th October, when
she sailed for Monterey, on the coast of Upper
California; previous, however, to her departure,
Captain Jones was honoured by a visit from
the King, who had been absent at an adjoining
Island. During the greater part of the time of the
Curaeoa's stay he came on board without pomp or
parade of any sort, in a large double war canoe,
attended merely by his secretary and the governor of
the town and fort. He was dressed in a kind of
half military blue surtout coat, uniform cap, and is a
man of apparently thirty-five years of age. The
Governor is the same who accompanied the late

arrived at Monterey, a small settlement under
the Governor of Mexico. The object of her visit
to this so little frequented port was to inquire into
the nature of certain grievances sustained by some of
the English settlers, in having been imprisoned by the
Mexican authorities under the plea of attempting a
rebellion in the country. Some of the officers enjoyed
themselves much during their stay, in bear, deer, and
duck shooting, with which kind of game this fine coun-
try abounds. Several of the English and Scotch settlers,
proud to see a vessel of war of their own country in this
out-of-the-way corner of the world, were not slow in
offering their best accommodations to the Captain and
officers of the ship, and the Mexican authorities went
so far as to get up a ball on the occasion ; and in the
hastily decorated ball-room were to be seen various
mottoes, complimentary to the English nation. On
the 16th November, the Curacoa sailed for San Blas, in
Mexico ; anl from thattime to the end of May follow-
ing was employed on the Mexican Coast, receiving on
board treasure destined for England, to the amount of
1,900,000 dollars, with which she sailed from San Bias
for England on the 3d of June, encountering on the
night of the 9th a tremendous hurricane of' wind,
which caused her the loss of a complete suit of sails,
blown from the bolt ropes. On the 28th July she
arrived at Valparaiso, having been absent more than
twelve months on her interesting trip, and having re-
victualed sailed for Rio on the 6th August, from
which she sailed on her homeward
voyage on the
21st September, and anchored at Spithe d a on Wed-
nesday last, the 16th inst.—Portsmouth Herald.

THE SIMPLON.—The Debats contains a letter from
a municipal councillor of Montpellier, pointing out
the present dangerous state of the route of the Sim-
plon :—"I look on this magnificent work," says the
writer, "as one of the greatest that has emanated
from the conception of man, and which has not a little
contributed to render illustrious a reign fruitful in
great events. Whilst the northern declivity of the
road of the Simplon is in a perfect state of preserva-
tion, the southern part, from its entrance into the
States of the King of Sardinia, is in such a state of
ruin that if a speedy remedy be not applied, it will be
impracticable for any kind of
carriage, and will not
be without danger for even beasts of burden. Ido
not write to you on mere report. What Istate I beheld
myself, having crossed that part of the Alps in the early
part of' September. Both before arriving at Isola, and
at the other side of that place, the torrents have burst
the dikes, swept away a part of the road, and it was at
the risk of a hundred times dashing my carriage to
pieces
from making long circuits on the side of the
mountain, through rocks and stones, that I could ar-
rive at Domo d'Osola. The repairs necessary for the

the snows will so much aggravate the evil, that the
Government will hesitate at the expense that will be

of commerce, and of those travellers who admire
noble works. It is asked how it happens that the
Sardinian Government, whose roads are so fine, and
which executes such admirable works at the passage
of the Bochetta—in fact, a direct communication be-
tween Genoa and Turin, should abandon to the devas-
lations of the torrents which descend from the Simp.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 22.

by two witnesses that when the information was given
Arrowsmith was expressly cautioned that he was not
to use it for the purposes of publication. Besides the
document which had been read differed essentially from
the article published, and contained none of the libel-
lous imputations contained in the article. Under
these circumstances the defendants had no
right to publish the gross attack on Mr. Ellins, which
they had done, and he theiefore submitted that the
rule must be made absolute.

- - -
GORDON, '
M.P. V. THE CHELTENHAM AND GREAT

WESTER RAILWAY COMPANY.
This case came before the Court upon appeal from
thel decision of the Master of the Rolls, overruling a
demurrer put in by the defendants, the proprietors of
the Cheltenham and Great Western Railvi ay Com-
pany to the bill filed by the ,plaintiff. It appeared
that the plaintiff had certain property in the neigh-
bourhood of the railway, near Cirencester, and near
that railway, on their own land, were defendants erect-
ing certain engine-houses, workshops, and other places
which the plaintiff contended were in direct opposition
to the act of Parliament constituting the railway.
Under these circumstances the plaintiff filed his bill,
and obtained an injunction restrainink the defendants
from proceeding with these works. To that bill the
defendants demurred, and upon that demurrer coming
on for argument before the Master of the Rolls, his
Lordship overruled the demurrer, and gave the de-
fendants six months to appeal to this Court. From
that decision the present appeal was brought.
The Solicitor-General, Mr. Turner, ani Mr. Wood,
appeared for the appellants; and Mr. Sutton Sharpe
and Mr. Loftus Wigram were heard in support of the
judgment below.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the course of the argu-
ments stated it to be his clear opinion that the ques-
tion ought to be decided at law.—lt was ultimately
arranged that the case should stand over to Saturday
week, in order to afford an opportunity to the parties
to come to some arrangement, or agree upon a case
for the opinion of a court of law.

Lord DENMAN said that there could be no doubt
but that when Ellins had given the information he
had done to the editor of a newspaper, and had fur-
nished him with paper to take down that information
in writing, it was done with a 'view to publication.
With regard to the difference between the article and
the information, it was clear that the information was
to be dressed up, and put into a readable form, in order
to make it attractive to the public. Wheie both par-
ties were to blame, the Court could not sit to ascertain
exactly the amount of blame due to each ; but in this
case certainly Mr. Ellins had no right to come to
the Court for the purpose of asking for a criminal
information, and, therefore, the rule must be dis-
charged with costs.
THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF HARWICH.

,;y.

OLIVER V. LATHAM.

The COURT then proceeded with the further argu-
ments in this part-heard tithe cause.

COURT OF QUEEN'S VENCH, Nov. 22.
THE QUEEN V. SAMPEON•
The defendant in this case, Henry Sampson, had
been an officer in the Excise, and had been convicted
of obtaining money under false pretences, under the
circumstances hereinafter mentioned. He was this
morning brought up from Newgate to receive judg-
ment. Several affidavits were put in and read in miti-
gation of punishment.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Court in
aggravation.
The Judges having consulted together,
Mi. Justice WILLIAMS gave the judgment of the
Court as follows :—llenry Sampson, you are brought
here to receive the judgment of the Court, having
been. convicted upon an indictment which sub-
stantially charges you, that you were an officer in
the employment of the Excise, stationed at the
town of Jarrow, in the county of Durham,
in the Newcastle and North Shields district ; that a
certain James Bray having been authorised by. the
Justices to keep a common inn, and being desirous
to obtain a license for that purpose, the expense of
obtaining which would properly amount but to 71.
12s. 2id., that being the sum that he would be rightly
called on to pay; you presented him an account for.
13/. 2s. 51d., as being the amount which he ought to
pay for taking up the license ; that appears on the face
of the indictment, and the evidence sustains that
charge without a shadow of doubt. The Court has
observed the statement you have made, that you have
been in prison since the month of August last, and
the Court has also observed a statement in your affi-
davit, which it always observes with great pain, that
yon have a distressed family, their distress having been
brOught on and aggravated by your conduct. The
Court sees constantly with regret that offences of this
sort fall heavily upon those who, to a certain extent,
ought to have been considered by those on whom they
are dependent as pledges for their good conduct.
Your offence is one of considerable magnitude. It
appears that you were not merely intrusted with the
collection of the revenue, but that, according to your
own account, you were entitled to have such trust re-
posed in you—a trust which has been employed by
you as a means for readily committing the offence of
which you have been convicted. You have broken
your trust, and forfeited the confidence which has
been reposed in you. This is matter of great aggravation.
Taking all these circumstances into consideration,
and bearing in mind the imprisonment you have al-
ready suffered, the Court feels it would not be doing
its duty if it did not visit your offence with great se-
verity. The sentence of the Court upon you is that
you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the
Hourse of Correction at Ipswich for the space of 12
calendar months, and that in the meantime you be
committed to the custody of the Marshal.
The prisoner was removed in custody.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.—THE QUEEN V. ARROW-.

SMITH AND KNIGHT. •
The defendants in this case are the printers and
proprietors of the Worcestershire Chronicle, and the
Solicitor-General had obtained a rule calling upon
them to show cause why a criminal information should
not be filed against them for the publication of a para-
graph reflecting upon the character of a Mr. Ellins,
a Magistrate of the county of Worcester.
Mr. Sergeant TALrOITRD now showed cause against
the rule. It appeared that about four years since the
Worcestershire Chronicle was established by a Joint-
Stock Company, of which Mr. Ellins was one of the
directors. Several gentlemen of the county professing
Liberal principles subscribed together for the purpose
of establishing this paper, of which the defendants were
to have the management. Mr. Ellins subsequently
ceased to be connected with the paper, having trans -
ferred his scrip to Mr. Arrowsmith. In the course of
last year, an article had appeared in the paper reflect-
ing severely upon the conduct of Mr. W. H. Ricketts,
a Magistrate of the county, imputing to him that
he had been guilty of jobbing, for the purpose
of favouring his political supporters and his own
relations in the erection of a station-house at
33romsgrove: Mr. Ricketts, in Michaelmas Term
last, had obtained a rule nisi for a criminal informa-
tion against the defendants, who had immediately ap-
plied to Mr. Ellins on the subject, inasmuch as it was
Mr. Ellins who had furnished them with the informa-
tion on which the article had been founded. Mr.
Ellins had immediately gone to Worcester, and at
the office of Mr. Elgie, his attorney, had had an inter-
view with Mr. Arrowsmith, in which he refused to
have his name given up as the person who had fur-
nished the information, and promised to bear such
part of the costs which defendants might
incur, as Mr. Elgie, or any third party,
might think fit. On inquiry, the defendants found
the charges which plaintiff had brought against Mr.
Ricketts were totally void of foundation, and, there-
fore, they adopted the only course that, as honest men,
was open to them. They tendered a public apology
in the open Court to Mr. Ricketts, expressing their
sorrow that they should have been misled by a person
on whose information they had placed implicit reliance.
Mr. Ricketts behaved most hamsomely on the oc-
casion. He accepted the apology without insisting on
the defendant's giving up the name of their informant,
and consented to the rule being discharged, on pay-
merit of costs, as between attorney and client. They
then wrote to Mr. Ellins three letters on the subject,
of the costs. To the two first letters Mr. Ellins re-
turned no answer, and on the receipt of the last Mr.
Ellins directed his attorney to write to defendants,
desiring them not to trouble him with; any more of
their letters, which were neither more nor less than
attempts to extort money. An article then appeared
in the defendants' paper, alluding to what had taken
place on the subject of a criminal information, in
which defendants expressed their sorrow that they
should have been betrayed into a line of con-
duct which, on reflection, they could not but
regret, on the information of a Magistrate, who
having led them into a scrape, had left them to get
out of it how they could:. The article then went on
to regret that their informant should not clearly un-
derstand. what was due to his honour,. his integrity,
his word, and his character ; and then characteriSed
the person who had treated them in this manner as a
cunning low-minded man. There was no name men-
tioned throughout the article ; nothing in it to make
it peculiarly applicable to Mr. Ellins, except that it
stated that the Informant was a Magistrate, so that
nothing but his own conscience could suggest to
Mr. Ellins that it was intended to apply to him. The
Solicitor-General had applied, on behalf of Mr. El-
lins, for a rule nisi for a criminal information, which
had been granted. In his affidavit, in applying for
given
the rule, Mr. Ellins did not deny that he had iven
the same information on the subject, but said that he
had expressly cautioned Mr. Arrowsmith that the
information was not to be used for the pur-
poses of publication. Now, could their Lordshi s
believe such a statement ? Mr. Ellins, it appeal,
had two days before been convicted of a nui-
sance respecting a road by Mr. Ricketts—two days
before this interview with Mr. Arrowsmith, which
took pace at Mr. Ellins own house. Here was Mr.
Ellins closetted with the editor of the newspaper,
giving him information respecting the conduct of Mr,
Ricketts, furnishing him with paper to take a note of
that conversation, and then saying—" But remem-
ber, this is on no account to be published ? " Why
it reminded him of the gentleman who, fearing an
arrest, told his servants on no account to commit a
breach of the eace. There are hazel twigs growing
in the grounds, but on no account use any of them to
the ribs of the bailiff ; there is a horse-pond yonder,
but pray do not duck him. Now that was scarcely
more marvellous than the caution given by Mr.
Ellins to Mr. Arrowsmith.
Lord DENMAN--Why in a recent publication we
have an account of a man being convicted of murder
allude on similar testimony. I- to the conviction
of Fagan.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—yes, my Lord, in what
I hope we may now be permitted to call a classical
work. The Learned Gentleman then read the notes
taken by defendant Arrowsmith, and read over to
Ellins, in which the following passage otcurred—
'" Show; his stupidity and carelessness in not look-
ing into the law." Under, these-eircum3tances, he
submitted that the rule must be discharged with costs.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL submitted that the rule
must be made absolute. .[t was distinctly sworn to

CORONER'S INQUESTS.
at half-past three, Mr. Gill
and
Yt
Mr.se
Coroners for Westminster, held
Yesterday
an inquest at St. George's Hospital, upon the body of
Sarah Williamson, wife of Robert Williamson, an in-
rdHaiyggasf: afternoon, oo n,
door Chelsea pensioner, 70 years of age. It appeared
from the evidence of Mrs. Doolan that the husband
and deceased had been out drinking on the evening of
the 26th October, and they had returned home to
No. 2, Royal Hospital-row, Chelsea (where the wit-
ness also lived), about a quarter past four o'clock.
Shortly after she heard a noise of quarrelling in their
room, but as this was no unusual circumstance, she
paid no attention to it ; in a few minutes the deceased
scanned " Murder" repeatedly, and called witness by
name. She ran- out and found her leaning against
the bannisters upon the stair-landing, the blood
streaming from a wound in her head. George
Augustus Davies, house-surgeon, said that deceased
was admitted to the hospital suffering from a lacerated
wound upon the scalp, and contusions over the body.
Various sloughs formed, and on the 14th inst. she
was seized with sickness and shivering. She
gradually sank and died upon the 19th. He had no
hesitation in saying that the wound in the head was
the primary cause of her death. The Jury, after
consulting for some time, returned a verdict of
Manslaughter."
Yesterday afternoon an inquiry, which was ad-
journed from Saturday, was resumed before Mr.
Baker, at the Black Horse, Kingsland-road, on the
body of Robert Burch Butchell, 21. years of age. It
appeared from the evidence that the deceased was the
son of a gentleman formerly connected with the Coal
Exchange. On Friday night the deceased had been
passing the evening at the Eagle Tavern, and about
three o'clock in the morning he was found lying on
the pavement in Bath-street, City-road. On being
conveyed to the station-house, and a surgeon sent
for, it was found he was dead. Mr. Coward, sur-
geon to the police, said the deceased died from the
rupture of a blood-vessel on the brain. Verdict—
" Natural death." On the samel day twelvemonths
Mr. Butcher lost another son who was accidentally
drowned on his passage home from Quebec.
SUDDEN DEATH IN THE STREET.YeSterday Mr.
Baker held an inquest at the Red Lion, High-street,
Poplar, on the body of a man, whose name is un-
known, who died suddenly on Sattirday last in the
street, near the East India Dock-house, Poplar. A
witness deposed that immediately before the deceased
expired, he said he was the chief mate of the Are-
thusa. Verdict —" Natural death."

A SNAKE STORY.—A black snake, which had dis-
covered the nest of a woodpecker, climbed up the
tree, and, putting his head into the hole, swallowed
the woodpecker. Alas ! when he would have with-
drawn, he found his throat so much distended by his
supper, that he could not get back, and so he died
with his length exposed, dangling from the wood-
pecker's holt, an admonition to all who passed by, not
to get into a-scrape until they had contrived how to
get out of it.--American Paper.
