• EPIGRAM,
On hearing that the EMPEROR of Itussin had lent his Field

Marstlars Cuat to the DUKE of Wtt.LlNoiOs.

'Es said that the head of the forces allied)
Not having a coat to his back,
A generous Monarch the needful supplied
And when thus equipp'd they sat down side bi We)
To drink their champaign and their sack :
Now, doubtless, this Hero of wonderful note,
Had the Monarch allowed him to choose,
Would have barter'd the honour to sit in hfs coat',
For the pleasure to stand in Ai: shoes !

BUONAPARTE AND MAWq-lAL LANNES.

The following curious article is gitien in One of
the Belgian Journals i—
" The Poet Gureeaan, who wrote ddipus
Coloner's, was very intimately acquainted with
Marshal ',alines. In his unedited correspondtnce,
he relates the following anecdote, which he says
Ile hail from the Marshal himself, who seemed
to dwell upon it with pleasure, and in such
a manner, as to discover a bias towards fat,
tnlism. It it known that he shared the glory
of the campaign's of Italy with Buonaparte.
Almost all the Generals of that fortunate army
were young, and the gaiety of youth was thus
joined, in their social Meetings, with the joy
of success. One day, whilst the Generals were
met in the quarters of General Boonaparte,
the latter, after a variety of amusements had
been gone through, took it into his head to tell
them all their forti►nes. He accordingly aSsitmed
the tone and deportment of a torture-teller;
took several in succession by the hand ► pared
over the lines with a great deal of mock
gravity, and dealt out as oracles every thing
whimsical and extravagant that came into his
head at the moment, whilst those whoM he
addressed received his prophecies with loud merri-
ment. At length comes time turn of General
Buonaparte took his band, examined it,
and passed on to another without -saying a word.
Lannes asked wby he did so. The other discon-
tinued the thing altogether, without making
any reply. Lannes insisted, and Buonaparte still
refused, treating the whole scene as mere non-
sense. But Lannes would not be pui off, and
Buonaparte looked at his hand, examined it,
and said, Do you sec that announces
that you'll be killed by a cannon ball ?' Lannes
laughed heartily at the prediction, observing
at the same time, that ' if it (lid not come soon
there would be no room left for it.' Marshal
Lannes at the time bore the marks of fifteen
wounds, and was covered with thirty-tWo, when
a cannonball carried him off at the battle of War
gram."

A Free Mason's Lodge, which is to be denomi-
nated " The IVellington Lodge," is speedily to
be constituted at Chipstow, under the authority
of the Grand Master, the Duke of Sussex.

The long talked of Road between Taunton and
Chard, through Staple and Coombe-St:-Nicholas,
is about to be actively commenced. The distance
thus saved will be more than four miles.

A Pardon has been received from his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent, for Wm. Colcomb
and Win. Robson, the 2 men condemned to death
at the last ltomitvv Marsh Sessions, for sheep•
stealing, on condition of being Transported for
lie ; and they have accordingly been since re-
moved on board the Retribution hulk, at Sheer-
ness, till their sentences are carried Into execu-
tion.

FIUGE PEAR.—A beautiful pear, of the follow-
ing extraordinary dimensions, lately grew in the
garden of Terraughty, that well-known focus of
vegetabi.e • phenomena :—Circumference, twelve
inches ; longitudinal measurement, 13i inches ;
and weight, one pound avoirdupois•
There is at preient in the garden of George
Dickson, Esq of Cousland, a tulip tree in full
blossom, which is the second time ii was ever
known to be in that state. The history of it is
somewhat remarkable: It stantls in the situation
of the garden of the old Priory bf Cousland,
well known for having sheltered the famous
Mary Scott, the Flower of Yarrow, from the per-
secutions by which she was harassed in the
earlier part of her life, and which was destroyed
during the Reformation. The'last time the tree
was in blossom was in the year 1720, being 98
years ago. The tree is one of the Finest of the
kind in this country, and not inferior to that at
Eglintoune Castle.

\Vhete an assemblage of talent and experience
is concenttated in one line of practice, a success
must attend their application, not to be found
elsewhere. This has been evinced in the Esta-
blishment of the Medical Board at Charlotte-
House, Blacktriars-road, and at Woodstock-
House, Woodstock-street, Oxford-weer, where
cures are every (14y performed in cases which
have baffled the skill of eminent professors, and
excited their astonishment.

The Medical Board have particularly attended
to those consequences of a certain disease, wihch
entails the most distressing debilitiei, and un-
hinges the constitntion of both sexes. They also
remove the effects of those symptoms arising from
nvenile indiscretion, from irregular living, and
from a long residence in warm climates—of this
description they beg pat tieularly to notice obsti
nate eruptions in the skin, sore throat, pains in
the head and limbs, frequently mistaken for rheu-
matism, strictures, fistulas, scrophula, &c.
Messrs Coogan and Co. after forty years' prac-
tice in various Hospitals, are consulted at Wood-
stock-street, Oxford"-street, Oily, from eight till
eight ; and at the Medical Board, Charlotte-
House, Great Charlotte-street, Blackfriars-road,
precisely from twelve until eight in the evening.
Mechanics, and persons of moderate income,
have advice gratis, if they attend at certain hours,
namely, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday morn-
ings, until one o'clock, and every evening from
six to eight.

AIIDDLESEX SESSIONS, DEC 1.

THE KING v. THOMAS LORD VISCOUNT RANELAGH,
AND JOIIN BYRNE.

This was an indictment against the defendants,
master and servant, for assaulting and falsely im-
prisoning James Robert Hall, ;slid also for ex-
torting from the prosecutor the suns Of seven
Mr. Abounius and Mr. KELLY conducted the
prosecution; and Mr. ALLEY and Mr. ALDERSON
the defence.

The case proved on: the part of the prosecution
was this :--0n the.2-ith of. July last the prosecu-
tor, son of a respectable Clergyauan in Hereford-
shire, and articled clerk to Messrs. Allison-and
Co. solicitors, of FteeriiAll's-court,.
hired a boat, and, with
.tlit:ee . other young
Gentlemen, went on a party of pleasure up the
Thames, intending to go to Pitney Bridge,
and return with the tide. Before they reached
the terminus of their journey they were overtaken
by a violent storm of thunder, lightning and rain,
and they immediately landed, and took shelter tin-
der a tree in_ Lord Ranelagh's domain, inn know-
ing at the time that they were on his Lordship's
premises. As soon as the storm was over, 1116'
sat down under the tree, Upon the cushion
of the boat,...and refreshed themselves with sonic
cold
.meat and porter they had brought with
therir. After they had finished their repast,
and.were returning to their boat, they were sutl-
dent, surprized by the appearance of a Gentleman
armed with a double-barrelled gun, followed by
foot or fire of his servants, two of them armed
with Indian clubs, and a third with a pitch fork,
by whom their retreat was cut off. They were
immediately addressed by the Gentleman, whom
they were informed was Lord Ranelagh, who
asked them what businesa they had trespassing
on his grounds ? Mr. Hall was the spokesman
of the party ; and lie replied that his friends and
himself were not aware that they were trespassers
—that they did not know they were on primate
property, but were ready to make every apology for
their mistake. Lord Ranelagh appearing not to be
satisfied,demanded who`and what Mr. Hall was: the
latter replied that he was a gentleman, told where
be might be found, and pre§ented his card to his
Lordship. The Noble Lord still appeared dissa-
tisfied, said that he had been More troubled
the well-dressed rabble than others, and bid all
the young gentlemen prepare to follow his ser-
vants.to' Bow-street. Mr. Hall said, he had
no objection to go to. Bow-street, or any other
place, being conscious that he and his friends
had done nothing that was cognizable by khe
Magistrates. Some conversation then ensued
between him and Lord Ranelagh, in which the
latter complained that be had been subjected for
a long _time to the depredations of persons who
had landed upon' his grounds, and robbed his
shrtibberies of flowersuand broke the branches off
his
,trees. The prosecutor assured his Lordship,
that he and his friends were not persons of that
description, and had come with no such linea-
tion. At, length his. Lordship said be would suffer
them ib-go provided they would satisfy his ser-
vantsfor the trouble they had bad. Accordingly
the prosecutor and his friends, under the terror
of the hostile appearance of the Noble Lord and
his servants, gave the latter 73. and they were
suffered to depart without any'further hindrance.
On the part of Lord Ranelagh; four of his LorilL.
ship's servants were called, the object of their
testimony being to spew—lst. That there was
no storm at the time in question which could
urge the prosecutor and his friends to debark on
Lord Ranelagli's ground. 2d. That no violence
had been offered to the trespassers-i-that, on the
contrary, they had expressed their acknowledg-
ments to Lord It: for the polite manner in which
they bad been treated. 3d. That the seven Shil-
lings were given as a voluntary peace-offering to
the servants, without any interposition on the
part of the Noble defendant. And, 4111, That the
money was, in fact, paid to another servant, and
not to the defendant John Byrne, as had been
sworn to by the witnesses for the prosecution.
The case went to the Jury nailer the impartial.
summing up of the Learned Chairman, and they
found both defendants Guilty.
The Court sentenced Lord Ranelagh to pay to
the King a fine -of 501., and the other defendant
to pay a fine of one shilling.

SENTENCE ON CHARLES ELLIOTT AND LEONORA
HIS WIFE, FOR CRUELTY TO THEIR OWN CHILD.

These persons, ‘vhose trial appeared in THE
Sort of yesterday, were put to the liar to receive
sentence.

The CHAIRMAN, after an elocipent and pathetic
address to the woman, on which he dwelt on the
enormity oilier offence, and the total want of all
motherly feeling which she had evinced towards
her helpless infant, sentenced her to be imprison-
ed for twelve months in the House of Correction.
The man, in consideration of his not having many
opportunities of teeing how the child was treated,
and of some feelings Of compassion which he oc►
casionally evinced towards it, was only sentenced
to be iniprisOned.for one Mouth.
