LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S 13EN'CH,. DEC. 3.
MILLER. V. HALL.
This vas was an action brought by the plaintiff as the
holder of a bill of exchange at two months for .500/,
sc joined.;
against the defendant 'as- the acceptor of it. The
defendant pleaded, first, that'-not
statedpleus issue
N the case. The
the, bill ; and secondly, that - had accepted- it
during The
A~rritoudanNeEky..G
.?Nnmith.eisLe
bill upon whiCh this action was brought was drawn
on the 17th of August last by Mr. John William
Edwards on the defendant Mr: John Hall, a young'
gentleman of tonsiderable-property. It was endorsed
over by the drawer to the present holder, Mr. Miller,
his attorney. He .-understood that the 'defence was
infancy ;. but in order to substantiate it, it would be
necessary for the defendant, 'who had a formidable
beard mulct his chin, and a still more formidable
pair of mustachios, to prove, that though he had all
the appearance of a man of five-and-twenty or thirty,
he was, in point of fact, within one-and-twenty years
of age, at the time he made this bill.
• Proof was given of the acceptance of the bill by
the defendant, and of the endorsement of it over to
the plaintiff by the drawer.
Mr. GURNEY, • for the defendant, said that' his
client was .a youpg, man of careless and expensive
habits, who, having been deprived of the protection-,
of his parents at an early age, had fallen into very
improper. associations.. The acceptance on which
this action was brought had been got from his client
'in blank some time before he came of ake, lie was'
therefore justified in stating, that though the bill ap-.
peered to be drawn subsequently to his arriving at
age, he bad not made it his bill at all, or had made
it so during his . infancy. Who was the plaintiff in
this action ? , He was an attorney ; and it -was
wondrous strange that he should have received from
the drawer, not only the bill on which this action
was brought, but also another bill on thesame party,
on which the next action was also brought. .
Mr. J. W. Edwards was then put into the witness-
box. • He deposed as follows am: a wine-mer-
chant; my father. is a tailor, and lives in Conduit-
street ; lam not in partnership with him. I know
the defendant, Mr. Hall. This acceptance. (looking
at the bill produced to him) was.written by the de-
fendant last August; wlthin'two or three days of the
time of its date. I swear that positively. I drew.
the bill before it was accepted. •The considera-
tion for it was partly. wine furnished, partly horses
sold, and partly money lent to the defendant,
1 ought to inform you,lhat when he was about coin-
' ing of age, Hall, who was in a great deal of debt,
was afraid of .that fact coming to the' ears of his
guardians. He therefore desired that one bill might
be made out for himself, and another for his guardian.
His bill to my father, Mr. John Edwards, was, by
his desire, and with great reluctance on the part of
my father, made out as only 601., whereas it far ex-
ceeded that amount. .I.ly own bill. was made out for
only 1,296/., but it amounted to •a • much larger sum.
I took an acknowledgment from him that it was
Made out at, the lesser sum to satisfy his guardians.
I have that acknowledgment now, with me.—(Here
-the witness offered-it to Mr. Gurney, who read and
returned swear that he gave me that acknow-
ledgment in July, 1826 ; and in consequence I
furnished an account to his guardian of Gty. for my
father, and of .1,296/. for myself—and kept a reserve
for, the rest. I paid the bill on which this action is
brought to my father, and my father paid it away to
Mr. Miller. I drew it in my father's house, No; 42,
Conduit-street. Nobody was present except myself
and Mr. Hall. My father was in bed very ill. It
was drawn on the 17th of August, about one or two
o'clock in the .day.-
Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.--
My father has lived for 27 years in Conduit-street,
and has been a tailor for 15 years. My father owes
Mr. Miller, I dare say, 1,000/.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was proceeding to
address the Jury,. when •
Lord TENTERDEN said, on this bill the plaintiff
'must recover. This is the way, however, that young
- men are ruined.
A verdict was accordingly found for the plaintiff

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING,, DECEMBER 4, 1827.

LITERARY GOSSIP.

RUSTIC BARDS.
Ah ! who can tell hOw hard it is to climb,
The steep 'where fame's proud temple shines afar?

Nothing is more common than to ridicule the
efforts of-rising-genius; or to lament its loss.when
the pity of a censorious world can only distress
the weeping survivors of neglectetl merit. Phi-
lOsophers have wondered to what cause such in-
consistency of conduct could be attributed—an
excess of scorn to the living man, and idolatrous
veneration to his shade ! Some have supposed
that the inordinate pretensions of authors too
often deprive them-of that consideration which
more reasonable hopes could not fail to insure ;
while '.others, perhaps,' with less appearance of
reason than truth; ascribe it all to envy—the
silent' envy of thousands, who hate in others that
faculty denied to themselves. TO.. no class of
authorsis the neglect of the world more freezing
than Poets—that sensitive genus to whom the
enjoyment of the present hour were nothing,
even with Homer's glory, unless imagination
were allowed 'to indulge in the realisation of
something still better, glowing beyond the
" bounds of space and time." There is no limit
to poetic ambition—it grasps eternity in its en-
thusiasm to be great ; and the neglect of the
world with real genius only stimulates its daring
—till the pride of the 'village sinks a prey to
famine in the delusive • enjoyment of • anticipated
glory. In the hey-day of, youth, what heart
beat higher than his, proudly rising in fancy above
the scorn of his rivals—
But when his bark is buried deep,
Will Envy be the . first to weep !
And this is too truly the fate of many .deserving
aspirants to fame, whose career is cut short by
some one or more of the thousand vicissitudes

incident to a life of anxiety, unalloyed by the
cheering comfort that they arc making some
progress to the goal of their hope.

Our readers may have observed some days ago
the adventures of Mr. Nicholson " the York-
shire Poet," at one of the Police offices, in con-
sequence of an affair at Drury-lane Theatre :" we,
understand that he has written several works of
varied merit, but like all authors whose hopes are
high in proportion to the lightness of their
pockets, he was induced in an evil hour to print

the effusions of his genius on his •own account,
a course which no author ever yet pursued
without chewing. the cud of disappointment for
the rest of his life. An author—let him have
genius or not, it matters little—writes a boo
and presents it to a bookseller for publica-
tion—" Oh, dear Sir," replies the Bibliopole,
" the . article is quite a drug—Toems and
sermons arc "as flat as ditch-water—nobody
will read them—and as for the purchase, it is
quite another thing. I would not print a ser-
mon were it preached by the Archbishop of Can-
terbury, unless he were on Ins death-bed, and
then we might sell four-and-twenty copies, to as
many expectantS; but as for poems, Gcld bless
you, Sir—not even the orange-merchants—l beg
your pardon, but there is no chance of making
them take till a man first gets a name like the
author of Waverley, and then he cannot write too
fast or' too intich.l- Really the season is very dull,
Sir,—Good morning ;—(aside—for here comes
,the title page of the second edition—before the
Work has well issued from, the press.) This is a
shook sure to sell, 'it was -Only advertised yes:

terday, and behold the restilt—.one edition off
my hands to the trade at a venture, but
genius; you know, is every thing, in these
dull times'—(going,) " I beg your pardon, Sir,"
whispers the nameless author, " but you say 'first
get a name, and then I. cannot write too much
—bow am Ito get a name unless I publish my
book?"—" Very true, Sir,but we never publish on
.our own account at first. An author without a

lame stands no chance :—if you think your

work will sell (and what author ever doubted
the,exeellence of his first born,) we have no ob-
jection to lend you our name, but you must ad-
vertise a good deal, Sir, and advertisements are
very dear, but there is nothing done without them
—till you get a name ; and then your nanze is a
standing add : just the same as if it were stereo-
typed—it lasts for ever !—Good morning Sir."
It would be more. painful than instructive to
follow an unfledged author running the gauntlet
with his first-born from Paternoster-row to the
ballad-mongers of St. Giles's, for there is no
Grub-street now—at least no literary Grub-
street, for half-shaved authors just escaped
from the breakfast-table, with their lu-
cubtations, smoking of hot rolls and butter.-,--
" Curse !"—but we must not report too faith-
fully the first ejaculations of our strolling Homer,
lest lie break our Office windows, as a mob of
crack-brained scribblers served the Courierandthe
Morning Post some years ago, when " Corn,
and no Popery" were all the rage with the
Tories. No ; Bless the trade," said •the fa-
mished unfortunate, with his fainting breath,—
" but I will publish for myself; I will ask my
friends, and I am sure they will advise me.—
The first step, like lady'S love, is always the
most momentous,—but I tell/publish." And, in
an evil hour he records his own folly by printing,
at the strong recommendation of his friends,
especially theigentleman to whom he dedicated
the work, and the lady whose beauty illumines
the first page. Well, well ; experience is the
best guide after all ; it is—
" The fool's philosopher and friend."

and the profit and loss account of the first five
copies sold in six months does, not leave " the
author" (happily
so styled), enough to pay fur
printing the title-pages of the second edition, in
order to astonish his friends with the rapid sale
of the first. Next, the printer's bill comes in—
and the contemplative bard cons its contents in
the King's Bench, whither he has removed, as a
necessary consequence, in the course of literary
promotion—that being invariably the second edi-
tion of the Pilgrim's Progress to Parnassus. But
to return to the Yorkshire poet : we hear that
he is a man of genius, deserving of more en-
couragement, than he has yet received; and as
the preface to his last venture may serve as a
warning to those who might otherwise be tempted
to print on their own account, we publish the
following monitory passage :

"Grateful the author must feel for the liberal support
he has received ; yet he can assure his patrons that all
which glitters is not gold. The expenses of publishing a
volume are more than most of his subscribers consider. He
has often been hurt when it has been hinted to him that
he was getting rich. Prompted to this undertaking neither
by a love of fame nor personal ambition, lie has sought only
the welfare and happiness of his family,. as well as the grit-

fication of some of his friends and acquaintance, who have
been pleased to speak favourably of his productions. if
the volume be utterly discarded, his mind cannot feel more
misery than it has done during the time it bas been in the
press ; and so far from being elevated with the pride of
publishing, the only comfortable consideration he has left
is, that be has a trade in his hands, and if his health be
continued, can still support his family by honest industry."
'We have not seen Mr. Nicholson's composi-
tions; but we . think our readers will agree with
us that thefollowing tribute to the mcmoxy of
a Brother Bard—the strength of whose immortal
genius— •
" Waging with fortune an eternal war,"
was not able to raise himself from the vale
of poverty in which his destiny had plunged
him—is a promising specimen of poetic fire, glow-
ing with kindred sensibility

LINES SPOKEN AT THE ANNIVERSARY MEETING AT LEEDS,

1826, TO CELEBRATE HE BIRTH-DAY OF
BURNS.

Learning has many a rhymer made,
To flatter near the throne,
But Scotia's genius has`displayed
- A poet of her own.

His lyre he took to vale and glen,
. To mountain anti-the shade ;
Cent'ries may pass away, but when
Will such a harp be played ?
His native strains each bard may try,
But who has got his fire?
Who, none—for Nature saw him die,
Then took away his lyre.

And for that lyre the learned youth ,
May search the world in vain :
She vow'd she ne'er would lend it. More
To sound on earth again;

But called on Fame to hang it by—
.Shetook it with a tear.
Broke all the strings to bind the wreath
That Burns shall ever wear

Another rustic bard,. named Anderson, in a
neighbouring county (Cumberland) has written
several pieces, but their merit is too much clouded
by the dress in which they appear—the vernacu-
lar dialect of the Borders—to render them ge-
nerally interesting, or even intelligible to English
readers. It is a pity that the light of genius
should thus be buried from the world, and con-
fined to a circle where its beauty and lustre have
little chance of being duly appreciated—for a
poet has no more hope than a prophet of being
honoured in his own county—where—

Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desart air.

Robert Anderson was, like Burns, whom he
resembles in many particulars, originally a plough-
man ,ear Carlisle; and is still living as an agri-
',lower. The following ballad, though
eans '--st of his productiOns, is very
and bigE S expressive of a country girl's
impatience .to behold the object of her affections.
It may be mentined that she is expecting her
Sweetheart to visit her after' the old folks have re-
tired to rest, which is the common mode of
courtship in Cumberland. This will serve to
explain the phrase of her father's, snoring
sweetly," which must at first strike as singular.

severe gales off Lisbon, from the• S.W., which obliged her,
and the Plumper gun-brig, Lieutenant
,Medley, to keep the
sea, from the Bar of Lisbon being dangerous to approach.
The ships of war in the Tumue—Spartiate, Wellesley,
Pyramus, and Lyra !rig, were lying with their loweryarda
and topmasts struck. The shock of an earthquake was
felt at Belem during the stunt, on the 18th ult. The
boats of the Plumper were washed away, and she was
obliged to put into the Tagus, to repair damages; which
having done, she sailed for the coast of Africa.
The British troops in Portugal expect to return home
in about six weeks after the arrival there of Don Miguel.
Two of the regiments, it was understood, would go to
Gibraltar, in the Wellesley. The Magnet packet was to
sail for England the day after the Duke of York; I-Se
Sandwich packet had just passed Belem, from Fahnouth.
The accounts from Gibraltar are to the 15th November.
The Warspite, 74, Captain William 111.0 lier, C. 8., passed
it on the 9th, for Malta. le was understood that 12,000
French troops had left Barcelona and its nefg-;:.'ourhood to
return to France ; a part of them had actually react;:c tlr
frontiers. A part of the French army at Cadiz was shortly
expected to evacuate that garrison and neighhourhood, and'
return home. It was reported there that a French man
of war brig haul been captured by an Algerine brig. The
Emperor of. Morocco had just purchased two brigs, orio
very handsome, for 24,000 dollars, and another for 6,000
dollars. Both vessels had left Gibraltar' for Tangiefs,
where they are. fitting Out, it was reported;ftr the purpose
of cruizing against the Hamburg!), Bremen, Luhec, and
Prussian flags. The Emperor is expected at Tangiers
early in the spring. Great presents were preparing by all
the Consuls, to be given on his arrival. The American
frigate Java had left Gibraltar, for Alinorca, to winter ; the
Ontario, for New York. There were two French brigs,
belonging to the Algerine squadron, refitting at Malaga.
A French.brig sues lyting at Corunna, and a Spanish lug-
ger was cruising off Cape Finisterre, after emug-glere. In
most of the Spanish ports, the French have one man of
war lying.
The good account given by. the passengers by the Duke
of York of her superior weatherly qualities in creasing Clic
Bay of Biscay against the S.W. gales, has mita increased
the favourable opinion formed of steam-boats in bad 'wee-
ther. They will lay within four points of the wind, fore-
reach, and go to windward hi the most extraordinary way,
and particularly the harder the wind blows. But it should
be observed these vessels are as long (165 feet), and nearly
as large as a frigate, having 32 feet ieam, from gunwhale .
to gunwhale, and from wheel Co wheel 55 feet beam.
Frigates are fine sea-boats, so are brigs, when in the hands
of seamen ; but this steam-boat and the George the Fourth
(the only two steam-boats that brave the open ocean out of
England), an old officer on board considers far superior to
line-of-battle ships, or any other class. of vessels, in a storm,
and, riding at anchor, they are easier than any other vessel,
from the form of their bottom. ' •
On Wednesday the Tamar, 28, Captain Gordon Bremer,
C. 8., arrived at Plymouth from the East India station, to
be paid off. She left Madras on July 12, and.touched at
the Cape. The Java, Admiral Gage, was at Bombay.—
The Champion and Pandora were at Madraf. The Tamar
went to Madras to embark the Governor, Sir Thomas
Munro, for England, but lie died whilst the Tamar 'lay
there, after only twokours' illness. No news by her.
On Tuesday his Majesty's brig the Chanticleer, Captain
J. B. Maxwell, arrived frOm the. Mediterranean station, to
be paid off, last from Lisbon, in nineteen days; she left
Malta on the 26th of September. A letter we have re-
ceived by her, from an Officer, says---" We have lately
twice visited Smyrn;„ and thrice Napoli di Romania, the
nominal seat of the Grecian Government.; anti, with
grievous vanity and vexation of spirit,
.every thing relative
to Greece and the Greeks, we have found infinitely worse
than the worst we could Inge imaginal. To -educe them
to proper order, by land, would require a le! a !Try ; to
put down their piracies by sea, would requ,,e ~ large Bri-
tish fleet; their Government is merely nominal, not in
the smallest degree efficient; they have no teal patriotism ;
their courage is confined to discord and civil war; they
exert none against their proper enemy, the Turks ; they
seem to have given over all thoughts of strenuous opposi-
tion to them by arms, and content themselves in praying
for some superior help ; they seem to think they arc exempt
from further exertion; mean time the whole nation, as far
as they have opportunity, have turned pirates; their depre-
dations are daily increasing; dissension reigns all over
Greece; civil tear broke out at Napoli, on our first visit
there, and was prosecuted fur eight or ten days under our
view, by cannonading, bombarding, and musqueting, with
a little sabring and daggering ; nor could all the zealous in-
terference of our Admiral and his Naval Captains and
others, effect a pacification. A whole month's endeavours
at a reconciliation of the rival Greek Chiefs were unsuc-
cessful. As to contending with the Ottomans, they have
no spirit, means, or plan. If the present race of Greeks
were ever in a humanised state, they must liev6 become
barbarized, by having bad to contend with a brutal enemy."
On Tuesday the Galatea frigate, 'Sir Charles Sullivan,
Bart., returned from Lisbon, whither she conveyed about
86 seamen, for the squadron there. She was immediately
refitted and repleuished with provisions and stores, and,-

poli, for the protection of the British subjects there, land
despatches at Malta, and return to England. She will pro-
ceed the moment the weather moderates.
Yesterday the William Harris, transport, Lieutenant
Steevens, agent, arrived froinlsland of Ascension, in. 49
days, having conveyed to that island a supply ofprovisions,
and a further supply of live domestic birds. The garrison
was healthy, and had lately, by persevering industry, con-
siderably increased their quantity of cultivated land. The
Clinker gun brig, Lieutenant Matson, was lying in the
roadstead, refitting, and completing her six months', pro-
visions and stores, preparatory to a cruise on the coast of
Africa." On the 17th July, she. left Commodore Collier,
in the Sybille, all well, at Prince's Island. The William
Harris experienced a succession of gales of wind for a fort-
night, on her passage, spoke only the Shakspeare of Aber-
deen, outward bound, off Scilly, on Wednesday. The

A RETTJENED EMIGRANT.-There is at
present in the Workhouse, at Leeds, a man of the name of
Joni.; Mont, a mason by trade, whose short history, as
related by himself, is most pitiable. About eight years
ago, he says, he left his native village of Coverham, near
Middleham, in Wensleydale, Yorkshire, and emigrated to
Canada, with a view to amend his condition, leaving a
wife:and six children, for whom he was to return when he
had got comfortably settled. The flattering hopes he had
entertained were entirely blasted, and after working at his
trade for about three years, he was seized with a paralytic
attack, and deprived of the use of his left side. From
that time to the month of October, in the present year, he
lived principally upon charity, when he sailed from Quebec
to his native country, with the intention of spending the
remainder of his days with his family, who still reside in
Wensleydale, or at least were there in May, when he last
heard from them. Having landed at Bristol, 'almost with-
out money, he made the best of his way to the north, but
when he had arrized at New Miller Dam, three miles from
Wakefield, he was so much exhausted that he crawled to a
straw-yard, and was obliged to remain. there for
two nights and a day. At length he got to Wakefield on
Wednesday week, and was received at the Vagrant-Office,
where he remained till Friday, about ten o'clock in the
forenoon, when he was put into a dyer's cart by the vagrant
officer, in that town, and sent to Leeds at his own request,
being anxious to reach his home. On his arrival at Leeds
Bridge, he was taken out of the cart by the driver, in a
state of stupor, being totally unable to move, and placed
upon some stone steps near the bridge, as nearly naked as
possible, where he left him, telling him to do as well as he
could for himself. Here he remained for about an hour
.deplorable situation, got him into a public-house,
a half, 'when some humane persons, commiserating his
and had
him conveyed, in a sedan-chair, first to the Vagrant-office,
and after Wards to the .workhouse, where he now lies, en,
vered with sores, and unable to move from the complicated
suffering produced by rupture, rheumatism, and paralytic
deadness. His wife and children are still ignorant of his
distress; but it is hoped that when 'this account reaches
them, some of them will 'hasten to his assistance, and as
