ORIGINAL-LOTHAIRE.

" Among the number of those who were found-in the ranks
of Owen Glendower, was a yotmg man from a village in
Provence, by name Lothaire. He had left, it seems, his
home, his family, and even the girl to whom he was be-
trOthed, at the chivalrous summons of honour, only to die
unnoticed in a distant land. His body was found a day
or two after th, battle, apart from the rest of his com-
panions, ui,!crn,.ith the old grey crag of Llenellin.—An-
tiquitics of Carmarthenshire.
There came a loud wail from the rock of Llenellin,
Where the Lord of the Mountain dwells lone in his lair,

'Twas the wild shriek of pain on the summer breeze swelling,
And burst from the lips of the dying Lothaire ;
The damp mist of night like a shroud gathered o'er him,
The cold chilly rock in its gloom stood before him,
While far from his home—not a friend to deplore him—

Lay the pride of Provence, the young gallant Lothaire.
All idly he turned kis dim eye o'er the ocean,
For the clouds of the West saddened deep o'er its plain,
And a tear stained his cheek, as in stifled emotion
He sighed for the home he must ne'er see again ;
Still blythe in his thought its loved tenants were singing,
Still round his own village the sweet birds were winging,
Still soft on the gale came its merry bells ringing,
Henceforth to be mute to young gallant Lothairc.
He called to his friends who that morn had stood near him,
When the thunder of battle was loud on the hill,
But nor kinsman nor friend came in pity to cheer him.
T. staunch his death-wound, his heart's flutter to still :
Unsheltered, alone, on the damp heath extended,
The warrior's last breath on the night-air ascended,—
It ceased, and all hope in that struggle was ended,
For silent iu death slept the gallant Lothaire.
Oh, was it for this in his own native vallies,
A mother had sung him in childhood to rest ;
For this, had the shade of his vine-sheltered allies
Been haunted at eve by the maid he loved beat ?
How oft shall that maid glance her eye o'er the billow,
How oft that fond mother wake up from her pillow,
And bear in each moan of the wind-shaken willow,
The last dying sob of her gallant Lothaire.
A SMALL POET.

THE LATE DUKE OF YORK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin—Adverting to my letter which appeared in your
columns of the 16th ult., proposing that a public subscrip-
tion should be entered into for erecting a Colossal Statue
of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, as a national
tribute to the revered memory of his truly exalted public
virtues, I am again induced to address you, in consequence
of the apparent preference which you have evinced, and
so ably advocated, that the demonstration of that respect,
so justly due to the late illustrious Commander-in-Chief,
should be ,a national monument.

Were this record of a Lotion's regard to public worth
to proceed from a Parliamentary vote, and that it should
do so I most fully accord with you, a national monument
in one of the metropolitan cathedrals, as consonant with
former usage upon such occasions, would certainly be the
most proper.
But, with reference to the measure which I presume to
recommend, namely, that of a subscription, composed of
individual contributions by the nation at large, I cannot
but advocate the Colossal Statue as the.more consistent
and appropriate, inasmuch that the monumental testimony,
were it erected within the confines of the sacred walls,
would, comparatively, be seen by few ; whereas,. a statue
of his late. Royal Highness,
.placed on St. James's Park
Parade (and in favour: of which Spot:, the 'intended Park
improvements form
,an additiOnal argument) would be, at
all times seen, and thereby serve as an impetus to stimu-
late the public generally with increased loyalty to the
House c. 4 Hanover ; aid the brave .soldiers, with additional
devotion to maintain the honour of that military character
which their late illustrious Commander-in-Chief so pre-
eminently inculcated amid all ranks of the British army.
Should the amount of subscription be adequate to its
accomplishment, I would propose that the Colossal Statue
might be placed on a pedestal, adorned with suitable
military trophies, and with the likenesses, in alto relievo,
of the most distinguiShed military chiefs, who, through the
fostering hand of their late Royal Commander-in-Chief,
achieved those deeds of valour, whence gradually emanated
that exalted summit of England's military glory—the Battle
of Waterloo! I am, Sir,
Your's most obediently, W.-

NOTHING LIKE COOLNESS.—The young Parisian
elegant, who has been recently condemned to chains and imprison-

the jeweller--C6 if lam satisfied with my purchase, I shall

After the consultation, a Messenger was despatched
with the account of his Lordship's health to the Ki.. 13, at hi's

Palace at Brighton.
A Messenger was sent off; about two o'clock yester-
day afternoon, with the report of the Medical Gentlemen of the
state of the Noble Earl, to his Mr:, y.
Mr. Baron Graham on :\i'or.day went to Westniin-
ster-hall; and in one of the ante-rooms of the Court of Exchequer,

The Will cif Mr. Rundell, of Ludgate-la, wait
proved yesterday. The stamp for the probate was l 5,0001; is
the personal effects amounted to 1,200,0001. This immense sutej
is distributed among the relatives (we believe nephews and nieces
of the deceased) ; the principal legatee is Hr.. Neale, of -Norfolk-
street, who will receive 400;0001.; Mr. Bond, of Ware, is also to

have 83,0001.
We can assure our readers that there is TIM the
least truth in the report that Mr. Hume is to be Chancellor ol
the Exchequer. Indeed it is understood amongst his friends, that
the Honourable Gentleman has long since made up his mind not
to accept office, till he can find a person of tried zeal and strength
of constitution, worthy to succeed him in the arduous duties of

his present vocation.
It is -currently reported in the higher circles
that a lady who has lately created an unusual sensation in the
fashionable world, hai, within the last few days, still further in-
creased her eclat, by an act similar to that which first gained- her
notoriety. She has left (we are given to' understand) the arms of
a gallant officer for those of a SPARK equally inflammable,
still retaining all her wonted predilection for a Baronetcy.
The plantation intermediate between the carriage-
road in the Green Park and the adjacent line of wall, is to be
taken into the garden of his Majesty's new Palace; and it is in-
tended to heighten, several feet, the wall proceeding along the side
of Grosvenor-place, with a view to obviate the inconvenience re-
sulting from the Royal Grounds being so much overlooked as they

are at present.
Muds of the property being already' purchased,
it
is intended that the valuable 'design of widening the u.,:kt end of
the Strand, shall be commenced with the least possible delay end
with the desire of producing as little as possible of the inconve-
nience which must necessarily attend such an extensive operation,
it is purposed that upwards of a thousand workmen shall be simul-
taneously employed in pulling down the houses on the northern
side of the Strand, between Charing-cross and the east end
of Exeter Change, and then in erecting the projected new'hOnses
which are to be built upon a more northern site, in order to form
that line of the Strand as wide as it now is opposite Catherine-
street.

Mr. Wilkins, a young architect of great Promise, is the
successful candidate for erecting the intended new Hospital at Hyde
Park Corner, the Governors having recently determined upon his
plan with certain modifications. The funds of the Hospital are
not fully adequate to the expence which must be necessarily in-
curred in building, upon a suitable scale, this Metropolitan Asylum
for the Sick ; but an appeal to the public will doubtless speedily
effect the attainment of an abundant supply of means for &mom •
plhhing this moat desirable object.

turely cut off in the vigour of youth, to the inexpressible grief of
his relatives. He was a dutiful son, a kind and affectionate
brother, a sincere and warm-hearted friend, and an intelligent and
able officer.

perceive that he alone renamed unaffected during the most pathetic

fair comrade with the following unexpected address :—" Mary,

If it be really intended that our troops should rest upon
their arms in Portugal, and quietly look on while both
parties fight the battle out, it naturally occurs to one to
ask, of what use are they there ? Why has the country,
struggling as it is with its taxation difficulties, been put to
the additional expence of sending an army to where it was
not intended that they should meet an enemy ? The ar-
gument on which Mr. Canning induced the House of
Commons to sanction his policy was, that the Portuguese
refugees had been equipped for the invasion of their
country by the Spanish Authorities, and sent across the
frontiers by their aid and connivance, and that, under such
circumstances, the insurgent army was to be regarded in
the light of a foreign force, which our treaties of offensive
and defensive alliance with Portugal bound us to repel.
Stripping his eloquence of that brilliant verbiage which
ha can always throw in dazzling profusion round any
?-übject, this was the pith and substance of his argu-
ment—and it tone on this argument .that the House
of Commons acted. We are now told, however, that
the Constitutional troops and their opponents are to
*ue allowed the gratification of deciding their own quar-
rel between themselves, while our army is to observe
a strict neutrality—or, in the language used on an
etcazion in Parliament, equally tuensce able and ridiculous, they
tee sot to assist in " giving a triumph to either party." Why
then did they net remain at home ? Why were not our artillery
shaved to continue at Woolwittb, and our humeri; at Knights-
leritge barracks, where, we presume, they could have rested on
tleer arms, and have observed a strict neutrality, just as well as at
Cce mhra and Lisbon ? They certainly could have performed this
enoffeneive duty at less expence at home that abroad ; and their
health, a* well as *rite, would hare been incoor )arablv leetter

that could be equally well resolved if our troops

aeezial,..; to get cet of tha abeuedite!, eayia_; t::ai is
ad that our troops should take the field, if the Spanish forces
should invade Portugal. This would be taking new and different
ground from what he did in his celebrated speech in Parliament.
Bat still it would involve him in a dilemma, which it would task
all his ingenuity to escape from. In his speech he contended that
the Portuguese insurgents were, far the reasons which we have
stated, to be considered as foreign forces, and their invasion in-
volved a (-alms fTderis that called for our armed interference.
Now, either this argument was a good one, or it was not. If it_
wag a good oue, why does not Mr. Canning act upon it, by
making our troops beat back the inraders? But if he allows that
it was not a good ones—if he admits that the Portuguese
insur-
gents were not to be considered as foreign forces, and that, in fact,
no eau facteris had occurred, why did he deceive Parliament by
I:mil-17 such an argument? If nothing short of an ineaeion by
actual Spanish troops was to justify our taking any part in this
quarrel, then no canes fccderis had happened when Mr. Canning
made his speech--no cams fccderis has yet happened—and there-
fore the country was led into this great expense by en avowed
misrepresentation.

The absurd and unmeaning repetition (unmeaning, ex_
cept for the purpose of insulting a Member of -the Royal
Family,) of the resistance made by a small party in the
House of Commons, to the grant to the Duke of Clarence,
had the fate which generally belongs to paltry atter-pts.
Not only did the majority increase in proportion to the
number of Memters present, but several of those who arc
usually staunch adherents of Opposition were ashamed,
up-on such a question, to be found among the followers of
flume. The propriety of making an addition to the in-
come of the Duke of Clarence is so obvious, that it is
impossible to raise a rational objection to it. Ought a
Prince who stands next to the Throne to have a iarger
establishment ? Is he likely to be exposed to greater or
more varied expenses than one who is more remote from
the Crown ? Every man of common sense will answer
these questions in the affirmative. The invariable practice
of the country has been to act upon the principle of giving
the presumptive heir to the Crown a more liberal allow-
ance than is given to other members of the Royal Family.
Even with the proposed
.addition, the income of the Duke of Clarence will not be equal to the annual emolu-
ments which were enjoyed by his late lamented brother.—
Will any man assign a plausible reason why the Duke of
Clarence should he placed in a worse situation than that
in which the presumptive heir to the Crown of England
has usually been placed—why he should not enjoy that

the author of a comedy.—(Great merriment, in which the Learn-

a farce; it was a comedy; a humoureome sort of thing (at least
so he and his friend, who advised hire to send it to Mr. Morris,
thought) and he had given it in at the Haymarket Theatre, not
to Covent-garden. He could explain it all to the Judge.

with a history of the progress, completion, and presentation of his
comedy ; but—

. •
The Loan Clair Jus-ricr held, that -the Court could not go
into the comedy. (Laughter.)
Mr. Sergeant Varuita.st.—Perhaps your Lordship would like
to hear a scene out of it. (Great laughter.)
Wilkinson said he should foci extremely happy _he could tell
his Lordship all about it, and why it had been neither accepted
nor returned. (A laugh.)
Mr. sergeant VaccitAX.—Was the cage at Kensington intro-
duced in the comedy ?_Witness. --No. There was no cage scene.
It was written long ago ; before he wail a watchman. The plain-
tiff and his party were not sober ; they were not drunk.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE —Then, perhaps, Mr. Wilkinson,
they were like the;r liquor—half and half. (Laughter.)
Witness resumed—Yes, they were neither drunk nor sober ;
they refused to give their names-and dresses (addresses).—(N
laugh.)—Two of them did ; the other gave up his 'dress. It
was the
.plaintiff; he (plaintiff) had his hat spoiled in the cage ;
the next morning they were brought before the Magistrate when
they omitted (admitted) their fault.--(Roare of laughter.)—ile
meant they acknowledged they were wrong.
The Loan Cum,. JUSTICE Eui6, as ne justification had been
put upon the record, a verdict must pass for the plaintiff; hut, in
his opinion, the smallest damages would meet the justice of
the case.

Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 205., which as the Foreman
of the Jury observed, would be sufficient to purchase the plaintiff
a new hat.—(Laughter.)

COURT OF CONDELEGATES, FEn. VD.
NIU Co AGAINST HICISCO.
Upon this caw being called, Mr. JENNER, proctor for Lady
Bride°, addressed the Court, observing that, upon a former day,
Dr. Lee, one of the Members of the Court, had stated that hf.
had received a letter from Lady Brisco, containing complaints
against her counsel and proctor ; he now prayed the Court that
the letter might be produced and read.
Dr. DAUBENY (the Przeses) thought it but reasonable that
the letter should be produced.
Dr. LEE said, he had no objection to produce the letter. He
had thought it his duty, upon the former occasion, to mention the

Elizabeth Wilmot, the wifc of a journeyman baker, said that
Mary Ann, declared to her that a young men, avho was a clerk at
Bloxam's, wiac the father of her child.
Mary Ann again said that the defendant had been the Fret to
ruin her, and added that he had done the same to the servant whe
succeeded her.
Defendant—Susan is here. Ido keep two servants ; but what
can you (turning angrily to Mary Ann) know about her, or what
have yoh to do with her concerns ? Mary Ann—Why you know
yuu seduced her as well as me.
Susan, an ordinary-looking female, of about the same age as
Mary Ann, then came forward, and was reminded by the latter
that three months after she had been in the defendant's service she
(Susan) confessed that her master had been doing all he could to
get the better of her,.and she (Mary Ann) told her to beware, as
her master had already ruined her.

Susan denied this, adding, somewhat pomponsly, that Phe had
no right to answer questions that did not relate to the matter be-
fore the Alderman.
Sir PETER—We know all about it ; Mary Ann has just been
telling us everything ; your master has been extremely kind to you.
Susan—No kinder, Sir, than he ought to be.
Sir Prritit (to the defendant)—This is an inquiry into the
moral character, on both sides, and you must take the conse-
quences of going into it. Do you think you were doing your part
iu receiving this female back- into your house, under such cir-
cumstances? Who is the father of her child? Defendant—l
am, Sir.

Sir PE-MR-4 must confess I ant astonished at this admission.
I will hear nu more of your evidence. It is certainly of import-
ance that the public teachers of youth should be examples of moral
conduct ; and I really expected, from your great professions at the
outset, that, actuated by a similar feeling, you would have thrown
up your situation, if I had decided your guilt was proved. De-
fendant—l meant only the guilt of denying that I was the father,
if I was so in truth.
Sir PETER—OnIy the guilt of denying the truth. Then you do
not consider seduction a crime. If you have been weak in one
instance, I can believe you were so in the other. I shall take the
woman's oath, Sir, and you must find the sureties, and defend
yourself in another place.
The defendant bowed, and said he should appeal at the Sessions,
and hr put in bail immediately.
BOW-STREET.—yesterday, Charles Day, a lad of about
18, was charged with committing extensive frauds upon Mr.
Johnson, lamp-manufacturer, in C'ursitor-street, Chancery-lane;
and Richard Stexton was charged with being an accessary after
the act, in assisting bind to dispose of the property that had been
fraudulently obtained by his fellow prisoner. The case excited
more than ordinary curiosity, from the circumstance of the pri-
soner Stanton being the young man whose prosecution of his wife,
about two years since, for mutilating his person in a very extra-
ordinary manner, attracted so much of the public attention. The
prisoners were both fully committed for trial, and all the parties
hound over to prosecute. —Stanton's wife was ;41, and about the
offiCe during the exatnination, and was observed to evince much

'I he Succeas, from Newcastle to Cork, W driven on the New-
come Sand, during a gale, yesterday afternoon ; but was asai,ted
off in a leaky state, and this morning proceeded to Harwich.

Yesterday morning a young lad, whose appearance
bespoke much want, deliberately dashed a large stone against the
gas lamp in the hall of the Great Globe Hotel, Clonmel, and
broke it. On being questioned as to his reasons for doing so, he
said--" I am hungry, and want to go to gaol."—Clonmel Ad-
vertiser.

BIRTH.
On the 19th inst., in Russell-squsre, Mrs. James Capel, of a
daughter.

A novel deception Was practised a few days back,
upon a widow woman named Davis, keeping a hatter's shop in
the Walworth-road. A man with the appearance of a working
mechanic, entered the shop, and desiring to be fitted with a hat,
his wish was complied with, and the price agreed upon ; pay-
ment was made partly in silver, and the remainder with two sup-
posed five shilling papers of half-pence, one of which was the fol-
lowing day paid to a Mr. Banks, a tax-collecter, and from him
passed to a Mr. Ponsford, a liquor-merchant, High-street,
Borough, who, on opening it foe change, discovered that two
pieces of lead pipe, of the requisite length, with a half-penny at
each end, formed the whole value, and when taken back to the
widow's, proved, to her cost, to be the counterpart of the other
paper still in her possession.

MARRIED.

O❑ the 20th inst., at St. John's, Southwark, by the Rer.
John Thomas, Vicar of Great Bursted, Essex, Edward
Doubleday, Esq., of Great Surrey-street, Blackfriars, to Anna.,
eldest daughter of Wui. Carless, Esq., of the fire► of Brandrara,
Carlos, and Co.
