I'LEASURE.

Ahl let not Pleasures witching eye
Beguile thy Wandering youth ;
A thousand wiles around her fly;
And thousands mere in ambush lie
To draw thy heart front truth.

I.oose flowing robes her limbs adorn;
'And smiles her features wear;
But as the Rose conceals the thorn,
Full Mooming to the blushing morn,
She hides each danger near.

And though her path be strew'dwith bowers,
That mock the rain bow dies;
And mirth reside in all he•r flowers,
While met, floats in dulcet powers.
Along the trembling skies;

Yet, ah ! the smile of Pleasures Queen ;
Her bowers where Mirth would nip;
Her dulcet Song, her flowery scene,
With all her charms that intervene
Are fleeting, false, and vain I

THE LATE Lanr HAMIL7ON.

. We yesterday mentioned the death of this Lady 'at
Calais. Her origin was very humble, and -she had
experienced all these vicissitudes in early lire which
ton generally attend those females whose beauty has
betr.iyed them into vice, and which unhappily proves
the chief means of subsistence. Few women, who
have attracted the notice of the world at large, have
led a life of mere freedom. When, however, she be-
came such an object of admiration as to attract the
attention of painters, she formed connexions which,
if she had conducted herself with prudence, might
stave raised her into independence, if not affluence.—
R onmey, who evidently felt a stronger admiration
for her than what he might be supposed to entertain
merely as an artist, made her the. frequent subject of
his pencil. His admiration remained till the close of
his life in undiminished ardour. The late Charles
Greville, well known for his refined taste in virtu,
and who was a prominent character in the world of
gallantry, was the pro/et/or, to use the well.bred lan-
guage of the polite circles, of Lady Hamilton, for
some years, and when his uncle, the late Sir William
Hamilton, wanted to take abroad with him a chere
'amie, he recommended the Lady 'with is pod a cha-
racter, that Sir William took her with him, and
having a reliance on her fidelity, married her. Sir
William returned to this country for the purpose of
getting her introduced at Court, in order to procure
a•similar honour for her at the Court of Naples, but
found it impossible for him to enable her to pass over
that chaste barrier which defends the purity of Bri-
tish Majesty. Sir William, therefore, returned to
Naples, and the Lady, by her own talents and assi-
duity, recommended herself so well to the King and
Queen of that kingdom, that she became a great fa-
vintrite with both, and particularly with the latter.—
The friendship between Lady Hamilton and our
great Naval Hero, Nelson, is too well known to need
any record in this place. It is, however, much to
bz"regretted that she was induced to give those let-
ters to the world, uhich were more calculated to dis-
pLiy his private *opinions and feelings,t hats to increase
the lustre of his public character. But she, perhaps,
might urge the plea of Shakspeare's Apothecary,—
"My poverty, but not my will, consents." In
pri-
vate lite she was a humane and generous woman, in.
taicated with fl ittery and admiration, which attended
her in a wank of life so different from the obscure con.
dition in her eat ly days, but always affable, kind, and
obliging to all whom she bad any opportunity of
s..rvl3g by his- influence. Miss Horatio Nelson was
with Lady Hamilton when she died.

Partisiati FASH toss, JAN. 20.—Sky.blite toques are
sometinres worn with a bandeau of pearls, and two

Bow.srftarr..—Yesterday Captain Hanna, of the
Turkish schooner Gelea, was re-examined on a charge
of assaulting and wounding Ciragno, one of his sea-
men. It appeared that the complainant asked for
some bread, which the Captain construed into giving
orders, and struck him with a long Turkish pipe, and
on the complainant remonstrating the Captain went
into his cabin and returned with a sabre, with which
he wounded the complainant in the thigh. He was
then taken away to prevent further mischief.—Mr.
ALLEY stated, that when the vessel sailed from
Smyrna, the engagement with the crew was to pay
them on their return, but while they lay between Do-
ver and Sandgate Creek, a part of them mutinied,
and knowing they would be severely punished if they
returns d to their own country, they demanded imme-
diate p tyrnent, the refusal of which gave rise to the
present complaint. The offence, however, if any
was committed, was on the High Seas, consequently.
under the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court. In
the latter sentiment Mr. Nauss coincided, and the
complaint was dismissed.

MAR LBOROVOII•STREET. —Yesterday J. "Ilford was
charged with stealing plate from different Coffee-
houses and public houses. A woman, with whoM
the prisoner had cohabited. had been left destitute by
him with an infant child, and appeared at the Office
to swear it. She then stated, that the prisoner had
stolen a table-spoon from Highbyry House, and other
articles of plate from different public places. In de-
fence, the prisoner said, the swoon produced he had
taken from the cabin of the - Bengal Indiaman, it
being left there ; and the tea-spoons produced he
found. He was remanded.

who is now under sentence of death ; .and that Mac-
kay, and Connell, bad been ten days in the House of
Correction. Porter is an apprentice to a law-stationer.
in Chancery lane, but had eloped some time ago, and
was ordered to be taken in custody to his master.—
Merridew was discharged at the request ot his master,
a watch-maker. Jinks, it appeared, was a boy of
*good character, who had unfortunately happened to
be there that evening, for the first time. Edwards,
Cole,' and Howe, after being severely reprimanded,
Were also discharged. The landlord was then admo-
nished, by the Magistrates, as to Ms future manage-
ment of the house.

thirty-two blanks cut out to be eolowred, a quantity

lings the appearance of having been in circulation ;'
and, under a bed, a quantity of good silver. At this
time Leonard came to the door, and before he spoke
one of the women said to him they had no hewer to la ;
on whi-eh. the officers took him into custody, and
found in one of his pot Lets a great quantity of base
coin, and in another some good silver, which they
produced, as well at the basecoin. In defence, Leo-

UNION.DALL.—Tuesday last, A respectable-looking
man was !nought to this Office. charged with a rob-
bery of the most audacious description. Mr. Mably,
of Woolwich. stated, that an Monday evening he
was coming to town in one of the Woolwich stages;

alb
Millings in silver, and several pieces. of paper, '
which were written memorandums. 'the prosecutor
immediately charged the prisoner Pith picking hie,
pocket, who denied it; and, pretending to be enraged.
at the accusation, • accompenked his denial with a•
plentiful shower of blows. Mr. Nobly raised his
hand to save his fltee..wheu the primmer, with great
dexterity, slipped from one of hi. angers another gold
rift. When the coach stopped he was taken into
custody, and searched; the two
.gold rings were,
• found within his pantaloons, concealed as the bend of
the knee; the lost silver was found en the seat of the'
coach from which •Ire had just risen; and several ra-1

tier writings Were found in lin POCilkilo *ltch covert
sworn. to by Mn Mably. Several letters were handeJ
in the Magistrate, which wore found vpon. the pris();.
ner, by which it appeared that hiariends were of
the most respectable description, and that he had for-
merly been a Captain in the army, and had also
sieen several years in the service of the East-Indi
Company. He stated in his defence, that he was
much intoxicated at the time, and bail no intention
of retaining the property.—He was fully committed.

Monday evening, as Mr. Miller, of Carnaby-mar•
ket, was passing along Mtrshal-street, he was at-
tacked by three ruffians, two of whom pinioned hit
arms, and the other knocked his hat off, and at the
same time seized his watch, with which they got clear
off. And about an hour after, three fellows, sup-
posed to be the same, stopped Mr. Charters, of Cha-
pel-street, in Newman-street, and robbed him of £lO
in notes and his watch. Mr. C. made some resist-
ance, when he was knocked down.
Monday Mr. S. an attorney, was committed to
Newgate, On a warrant from Mr. Justice Le Blanc,

an intent to kill him. Mt. Sewell having called up-

kept by John Craig, a private in the 74th regiment,
and his wife, they proposed to have a parting gill,
and knocking, asked. ttey sold any drink ?on this
some persons in the house conceiving that they meant
to insult the family, rushed out, and a scuffle ensuing,
James Muir was knocked down and killed on the
spot. After several inves'igations before the Magis-
trates of Kilmarnock, Serjeant Logan, of the 74th
regiment, a person of good character, his brother,
Adam Logan, and the said John Craig, were lodged
in Ayr jail, on Saturday last, on suspicion of being
concerned ist the above unfortunate transaction.

Last night, about six o'clock, as two Gentlemen
were driving through Temple-bar in a gig, the lat.
ter came in contact with a coal waggon they were
thrown out, and the haw took fright, ran down the
Strand, turned rapidly the corner of Arundel-street,
just as a poor old man was crossing, and went over
him. The old man was dreadfully hurt, and a gen-
tleman who was passing humanely called a coach,
into which he was put, and conveyed to his lodging.,

CAUTION AND ADVICE TO ASTHMATIC AND CONSUMP-
TIVE PATIENTS—No Medicine has proved so beneficial
in the cure of Asthma, Consumption, Wheezing, and
Winter Cough, as the PREPARED STRAMONIUM and
Orman of Sargeon Faun. In the last edition of
iiis Treatise on the cure of these diseases, he has enu-
merated several desperate cases that were effectually
cured; and although two years have elapsed, they
have not experienced the slightest retorts of the corn-
plaints. The success that has uniformly attended the
use of these remedies, has induced many to imitate
them, and others to sell the common Stramonium for
the Prepared Herb, but to prevent so serious an im.
position in future, the name of 41 Richard Butler" is
engraved, per favour. of the Honourable Commissio-
ners, on each stamp, and affixed to each packet and
bottle, without which name the medicines are either
not genuine, or from being kept have lost their virtues.
The Prepared Herb for smoking, and Oxymel f r in-
ternal use, is sold only in London, wholesale and re.
tail by Richard Butler, No. 4., Cheapside, corner of
St. Paai's Church-yard ; Harris, Ludgate-hill ; and
