OPENING ANCIENT FOOTWAYS.

From the Manchester Times.
MARPLE, MARCH 31.
A number of persons, inhabitants of 31arple, Strines, and the
neighbourhood, having determined upon opening the old footpath
recently stopped up by Mr. Arkwright, proceeded about six o'clock
this evening to the gates erected by Mr. Arkwright, at the entrance
to the above named road. Finding them locked, and several men
on the other side, seemingly prepared to oppose an entrance, Mr.
Arkwright was sent for to ask him if he would allow the road to be
thrown open to the public ?
On his refusal to allow the road to be opened peaceably, Mr.
Thomas Bruce, of Strines, taking a mattock, forced off the lock, and
the whole party passed through at that part of the road which passes
Mr. Arkwright's premises. They were met by Fur. Arkwright
self, armed with a double-barrelled gun, who swore that if any man
attempted to pass that way he would blow him through, and
shoot his head off. He said the gun was loaded, and presented
it to the breast of William Barnes. On being told that this
was an unlawful act, he became very abusive, and said he dill not
care a d—n for the law. Mr. Arkwright having two constables
esent, ordered them to take into custody Mr. Bruce and Mr. J.
Mason, who were handcuffed together, and taken before 31r. Leigh,
the magistrate. Mr. Leigh inquired if the men had been commit-
' ting robbery or murder, and being answered in the negative, ordered
them to be set at liberty. Mr. Arkwright had, in the forenoon of
the same day, caused two young men who were walking peaceably
along the same road to be handcuffed, and after keeping them in
custody for half an hour, set them at liberty, without even the form
of taking them before any magistrate.
The facts above stated, we are assured, can be verified by tli.l
oaths of several creditable witnesses. We are sorry that a gunk-
man of Mr. Arkwright's station in life should take so much pains
to render himself obnoxious to his neighbours. In this respect his
character strongly contrasts with that of the late Mr. Oidknow, of
the same place.
Mr. Arkwright seems to have acted very rathly and unadvisedly
throughout this affair, and, we apprehend, has laid himself open to
the strong lash of the law, if the parties choose to commence pro-
ceedings.
We rejoice that the inhabitants of Itlarple and Strines know their
rights, and " knowing, dart maintain."
Itlr. Rawson, of Darley-hall, near Halshaw.moor, a short time
ago stopped up a road which leads from Prestolee to Halshaw.
moor, which be bad several times before diverted from its on-
ginal line. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood being deter.
mined not to permit their rights to be thus taken from them,
went, in company with Mr. Seddon, of Prestolee, accompanied
by a number of men in his employment, and determined to have
the road opened. They were, however, oppposed by Mr. Rawson's
men, and the consequence of this opposition was a trial of strength
between the contending parties, in which a number of the men on
both sides received bruises, and one man was very seriously injured.
Eventually Mr. Seddon's men succeeded in opening the road, but
since that time Mr. Rawson has caused it to be stopped up again_
The above circumstances having been communicated to the Foot-
path Society, several of its members went to the place, and on :At-
tempting to go over the road, were stopped by Mr. Rawson's :nen.
They afterwards made inquiry, and found that the road had been
used for half a century. In consequence of this road having been
stopped, persons will have to go near two miles round.

FRACAS BETWEEN MR. JUSTICE GASELEE AND
Ma. SERGEANT BONIPASS.—In the Crown Court at the present
Anises, on Thursday, Mr. Sergeant Bompass, in cross-examining
a witness, who bad stated that the prisoner had started or ab.
sented himself, on being suspected of stealing hay, asked if he (the
witness) had been 'inspected, whether guilty or innocent, would'he
like to be confined in prison three months, as the hay was stolen in
January ?—Witness : No.—Sergeant &impala Would you not
have started too, even if you were conscious of your innocence ?
Yes.—Sergeant Bompass : Aye, to be sure, and so would any man at
his senses.--Justice °melee : lam astonished that a Sergeant.st.
Law, who is so great an advocate for regularity, should be so kw-
gala; as to make such a remark, which had nothing to do with the
evidence, particularly as it is likely to show so bad an example.—
Sergeant Bompass
_(with some warmth) I contend, as a Sergeant.
at-law, the question was regular.—Justice Oaselee : I admit, :Sir,
the question was regular ; but It was irregular in you to make such
a remark, and I will not staffer it.--hergeant Bompass: I had a
' right, as an advocate, to put the question without an observation,
but I have been interrupted by the Court.—Justice Gaselee : I have,
ISir to answer to the public for my conduct, and I shall not suffer
it.l-Sergeant Barman: (cooly) We have all to answer to the
public.—Here the discussion terminated.—Chsitenkem Journal.
A most daring robbery was committed the 28th of
March, between the hours of three and eleven in the evening. The
rooms of James Robinson, 122, Grove.street, Camden-town, were
entered by some person or persons unknown, and a small trunk
stolen, containing sovereigns and half sovereigns to the amoant of
DOL. gold seals and a key, and other valuable articles, the produce
of his labour. No suspicion arose till the Ist of April, as the room
door and box were left locked and found so.

Sunday evening last, a most disgraceful outrage took
place in the church of St. Luke's, Chelsea. A charity sermon had
been preached by the Rev. Mr. Blount, and the donations had hcer.
gathered from pew to pew, after which a hymn was rung. Burin
this time, a gang of about 30 fellows gave an alarm of tire, the
congregation became alarmed, and immediately rushed forth to the
door ; the gang then seised the plates, containing the money, and
in the confusion made off, after having stolen several shawls, rm_
cules, and watches. Information was immediately given to th!,
inspector of the new police, but as yet not one of the thieves has
bees discovered.

Friday night last, some miscreants placed a hire
quantity of gunpowder on the shop window-sill belonging to Alf
Gaines, of F'ord's•buildings, Battersea, and the explosion that en.
sued dashed in the whole frame of the window, and destroyed
derable property which wax exposed for sale •herein. It was h:-
tunate that 311 s. Gaines had quitted the shop a few minutes bcfor••
the explosion took place otherwise she would have been seriuu•ly
injured. Friday previously an attempt of the same kind oral mad.,
and the shock of the explosion alarmed the whole neighbourhood.
The outrage has been attributed to some persons whom 3lr. Gaines
was under the necessity of summoning fa destroying some nets, tf
which he is a manufacturer.

Literary Remains of the late Henry Neele.—Smith,
Elder, and Co.—The fate of NEnLn afforded one of the
most melancholy instances of the perishable tenure of the
fairest gifts of nature, and the brightest endowments of the
human mind. CHA TTERTON perished by hie own hand,
it is true—and so did Nast.a : but the former sunk in the
morning of life, beneath the pressure of woes to which, as
he had not worldly experience to reconcile him, so he had
not fortitude to endure them. His hopes were scarcely
formed, ere they appeared to his sanguine temperament,
blighted by the indifference of the world. NEEEE'II ta-
lents had worked out for him a way to reputation, to lite-
rary distinction, and to wealth. His genius may be said
to have reached its maturity—whereas, CHATTER:EON'S
%as blasted in the bud. CHATTERTOW rushed to his
cluem in the bitter anguish of disappointment, of which
1.0 had never allowed himself to calculate the possibility;
-NEELE fell by his own hand, the victim of an over-
wrought imagination—

" A fiery soul which working out its way,
Fretted the pigmy body to decay,
And o'er informed its tenement of clay."

And thus, as his biographer observes, " in the very spring
of life, with fame and fortune opening their brightest
views before him, he perished under the attacks of a dis-
ease from which no genius is a defence, and no talent a
protection—which has numbered among its victims some
of the loftiest spirits of humanity, and blighted the proud-
est hopes that ever waked the aspirings of ambition."—
Every memorial of such a man, possesses a mournful in-
terest for all mankind ; and the volume which has elicited
these remarks, abounds with such evidences of the high
and varied talents with which he was endowed, that a
more grateful tribute could scarcely be offered to his me-
mory than the combined display of the versatility, as well
as the extent, of his brilliant powers. The only extract
for which we have now space, we select from " the Lec-
tures on English Poetry ;" and it is at once curious and
interesting to peruse his remarks upon the comparative
merit of CIIATTERTON, with whose name his own me-
lancholy fate has so painfully associated our recollections
of HENRY NEELE.

I have placed Chatterton amongst the narrative Poets, although
he also wrote dramatic, lyrical, and didactic pieces. Perhaps there
never was a more slender veil of forgery attempted, than that which
he threw around his pretended ancient productions. He has written
in the language of no one age, but in a piebald diction of all; made
up of the phrases and idioms of various periods, and the reader has
often nothing to do, but to strip his verses of their antique spelling,
and he finds the language precisely that which is used in the present
day. Take for instance, the opening of the Song of Ella:—

" When Freedom drest in blood-stain'd vest,
To every land her War.song sung;
Upon her head wild weeds were spread,
A gory enlace by her hung."
The Poems themselves bear internal evidence of their bei::g the pro-
ductions of a boy ; of a marvellous boy indeed, but still of a boy.
There are no traces of experience, of long observation, of a know.
ledge of human nature, and indeed of acquirement of any sort. Cf
strong natural powers, of talent, of genius, every page furnishes us
with abundant instances. Chatterton's force I think was pathos;
and had not hie mortal career closed so prematurely, he would pro.
bahly have devoted himself to lyrical poetry. What he has left
behind him is full of genius, but full of inequalities and faults. We
have hardly sufficient data to enable us to judge what Chatterton's
real character, moral or literary,—and it is difficult to separate them
in our inquiry,—was, or would have been. I, for one, cannot help
thinking, that the vices of the former were adventitious, and that ibe
imperfections of the latter would have been obviated, or removed.
His tale is but half told. Had not the curtain dropt so abruptly on
the hero of the drama, succeeding scenes might have 'hewn him
triumphing over all his follies, and atoning for all his faults. His
ruling passion was the love of fame. The progress of Fame is like
the course of the Thames, which in its native fields will scarcely
float the toy-ship which an infant's hand has launched; but when it
has once visited the metropolis, mighty vessels ride upon its bosom,
and it rolls on irresistibly to the ocean. This Chatterton knew;'
and, in a blind confidence on his own unaided powers, rushed to the
capital in pursuit of fame and competence. The result we all know
was neglect, penury, and self-destruction.
Nartative poetry has of late been a favourite and popular study,
and his employed the pens of all the most eminent of our living
writers. Although the limits which I have prescribed to myself in
these lectures do not permit to discuss their merits, I may be al.
lowed to say, that the narrative writers of the present day have done
much to wean the public taste from the meretricious school by

The Pleasures of Anarchy, a Dramatic Poem, by
the Rev. F. Newenham, Mercer Citizen of London.
—We have already eased our conscience by pleading
guilty to an insatiable passion for, and after, literary
curiosities ; we have unscrupulously " owned the soft
impeachment," and therefore we may, with the better
grace, expatiate on the delight which this most curious
of all curious productions has afforded us.—lt outdoes
all former outdoings. People may dream of a second
love, or a fourth grace, or a sixth sense, or a
tenth muse, but in this one exploit—the achievement of
this Poem—all such wonders should be forgotten. We
have had the Pleasures of Imagination—and the Plea-
sures of Hope—and the Pleasures of Memory, and—aye,
even the Pleasures of Pain—but they are all moonshine
compared to the Pleasures of Anarchy. in sober sad-
ness—as Cervantes wrote his Quixotte to laugh down
Chivalry, even so did the Rev. F. NEW EN HA m, mercer
citizen of London, write the Pleasures of Anarchy, a
Dramatic Poem, to laugh down poetry. Our copy of the
work contains some manuscript instructions with which
the author has favoured us, touching our review of his
labours— some hints for our better guidance in the
path of criticism—a path we have now trod time
out of mind ;—and we declare, so perfectly unique do
we consider the production, that we would not ex-
change it—autograph and all—no, not even for the
original manuscript of Professor GOWIELDORee forth-
coming " Travels in the Moon." As specimens of the
learned and reverend author's style in prose and verse,
we shall presently subjoin some inestimable extracts ;
but we must say that, in doing so, we do great violence
to our own feelings ; not that we are naturally selfish—
far from it— but we find all our sympathies so irresistibly
engaged by our poet, that we are almost too jealous to
allow the gratification to be indiscriminately shared even
by our " dear public." The work has gone through we
know not how many editions; but they seem all to have
shared the same fate. The author like all true poets,
is too sensitive a man to submit his lucubrations to the
vulgar gaze ; or, like Brutus of old, too inflexibly
just not to consign them to their merited doom :
and so we find that the first edition, which, he
says, was " thick as the leaves in Vallombrosa," was
soon but take his own words :—" Of the first
edition, printed in 1809, some copies daily fed the author's
fire (!) others were applied to a thousand different offices,
with as little tenderness as had ever been shewn to the
vilest scrap." What a remorseless parent I—a very vam-
pire would have had more heart—" And if domestic
affairs were always fit for the public eye, it might be told
what a large portion of them was put in preparation for
manuring his fields I"—Now as the seasons have been
charged with causing all the distress of the country, have
we no political economist, liberal and enlightened enough,
to propose the encouragement by the state of this author's
plan for preparing paper for averting all the evils of bad
harvests ? In this way, how might some Honourable Mem-
bers of a House that it is not proper to mention, be
rendered conducive to the national prosperity by dedi-
cating the printed copies of their speeches to the same
patriotic porpoise ! Well, the first Edition having been
thus satisfactorily disposed of, the Author says,_ " the
second met with no more success than the first.—
And why should it ?"—Aye, why should it, indeed ?
—That is just what we should like to know :—but
that question we leave the learned in such matters to
solve, seeing that the work itself is unique—a perfect
phoenix in the wilds of literature.-.. The preface to this
edition consists of twenty-four full-sized Bvo. pages of
closely printed matter ; the poem itself occupies one hun-
dred and forty pages ; and the notes and appendix
seventy-two.—Of the notes, one short specimen must
suffice. "In sport alone," is intended to have the mean-
ing of only in sport." ow for our poetical extract, and
we have done :

" Now to the left, through yonder thicket, lies
Our path. Take courage, ma'am ; thy son, remember,
Is not a great way off; tad though 'tie steep,
Smoother the road will grow as we advance;
Besides, I know, hard by that frowning rock,
There is a cot, secluded in a wood,
Where we may gain repose. A good old man,
(The shepherds call him father of them all,)
Dwelt lately there ; and he still lives, I trust,
To greet us with his hand; for since this bridge
Was, but last night, erected by our foes,
And only on the plain ('tis mud) they fight,
None could, I think, be tempted there to range,
To rob its poor inhabitants of what,
All must needs know, they have nut got to give."
We know not which to admire most—the accommo-
dating steepness of the road, that grew smoother the
higher they advanced ;—the philanthropy of the good
old shepherd, in whom the shepherds recognized " the
father of them all ;"—or the penetration which argued
security from the cunning of the thieves, who could not be
tempted to rob the poor people of what they had not to
give.

EXTENSIVE ADULTERATION.

.

Mr. TazsLovz moved the court for the appointment of a receiver
in this cause. It was a bill filed against Lord Perceval, Mr. Tier-
ney and others, as trustees of certain estates aarigned by the Earl of
Egmont for the benefit of his creditors, on the ground that the trus-
tees bad wholly neglected their duty.
Mr. PEsYs submitted that this motion could not be sustained,
because Lord Perceval bad not been served with notice.

Mr. Tazatovz replied, that they could not learn that Laid Per.
coral bad any residence in England, and that they had reason to
he believe that kept abroad for the purpohe of avoiding a service of
the process of the court.
His Honour the Vzcz-Cnawczia.oi thought that his lordship
could not be deprived of his trusteeship without notice. if his lord.
ship remained abroad in order to avoid the service of the bill the
plaintiffs would be in a condition to get the bill taken pro oortfaro
against him ; but, if not, they might serve him with notice. The
motion must, therefore, be refused with costs.

BOARD OF EXCISE COURT.

Jesse Atkins, landlord of the Walnut Tree publie..house, Cam.
den.town, appeared to answer an information upon which he was
charged, in eight counts, for having illegally in his possession a
quantity of molasses, sugar, salts and water, and other ingredients.-
not malt and hops—for the purpose of adulterating beer.
Eseise.officers deposed to searching the defendant's house, on the
7th of December last, and finding in a pail in his cellar a small
quantity of adulterating liquid, composed of sugar, salts and water.
The witnesses afterwards found about thirty or forty pounds of
coarse sugar used by publicans for mixing with other ingrediens to
adulterate beer. The defendant at the time, in reply to an observe.
don that he bad been adulterating pretty largely, said he knew he
had done wrong, and appeared much frightened.
The defendant said in defence he was not aware of having acted
illegally, for he had been in business but a very short time.
The officers, in answers to questions from the Court, said the de-
fendant had ben in business since June 1828, and that he had sold
about eight buts of beer a month, and was supplied by Reid and Co.
The Court observed that it was clear he had been carrying on the
pernicious system of adulteration for a considerable time, and must
have been aware of its illegality. The absence of poisonous ingre.
dients was a circumstance in his favour, or a heavier penalty would
have been inflicted. The judgment of the Court was, that the de.
fendant pay a mitigated fine of 501.
William Clarke, of Wellclose-square, was fined 101. for a similar
offence. _ _ _ _ _

William Hamilton, of the Green Dragon public.house, Robert.
street, Kent-street, Southwark, was charged with having three quarts
of beer colouring, or adulterating ingredients, In his possession.
Robert Beckwith, an excise-officer, deposed to searching the de-
fendant's pretuisei-on the bth of December last, and finding, amongst
some bottles of compounds, a two-gallon stone jar, or bottle, con-
taining three quarts of colouring matter. It did not appear to have
been recently used, and the defendant said, at the time of the seism,
it was in the same state as when he took the house four months pre-
viously.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said the bottle and its
contents were appraised to him when he took the house, and that he
supposed it to be spruce, but had never used It.
Win. Green was called for the defence. He stated that the for-
mer landlord had often told him he used colouring matter, and adul-
terated his beer to the extent of 30s. per butt.
The appraiser of the stock to the defendant stated, that such a
bottle or jar as the one produced was amongst others in the cellar
when the defendantuok the house. The stock of spruce was then
in a tub. Colouring or adulterating matter was never appraised, but
always thrown aide, being an illegal compound.
The Cum, Countssiouna said, that in inflicting the very
low penalty of 51. the Court was induced to pass that very lenient
sentence in consequence of there being no proof that the defendant
had used the adulterating mixture. It, however, should serve as a
caution, and publicans would do well to examine the stock they took
from their predecessors.
Joseph Webb, of Banner-street, St. Luke's, pleaded guilty to a
like oboe under similar circumstances, and was also fined 51.
Thomas Cannon, the Windsor ex.pugilist, was fined 2.1. for hav-
ing colouring matter in his possession.

A calculation has been made of the drain upon the
country occasioned by absentees, which makes the amount of British
revenue now consumed abroad to be not much under the cost of our
whole actual public establishments put together.
It is understood that not more than 25,0001. in amount
was signed in the books at the Bank during yesterday, as dissenting
front the Chancellor of the &chequer's project for converting the
4 per cents.
By means of an instrument called a stethoscope, ap-
plied to the breast-bone, some modern medical writers pre**, to
discover what is going on within. This new art is called sureties.
tion, and the internal sounds pcctoriloquism. By means of thi,
new discovery, a learned physician professes to have heard a " nice
tallic tinkling" at the heart or in the lungs of a patient. A by-
stander, however, thinks the 6• metallic tinkling" was onl audible
from two pieces of coin which found their way into the palm of the
doctor,

The LORD Matron —Those who employ him will support him,
you may depend upon it, in obeying their directions.
The horse is thus still to remain in pound. It might be right is
state, that Finsbury is completely infested by dealers in horse-flesh,
and that, as the officer hinted, several accidents have arisen from the
negligence of those persons.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday a man namediiii;n,;asTharged with having com-
mitted a most brutal assault on a woman named Leary.
From the statement of the complainant it appeared that she and
the defendant's wife had some altercation together a few days ago,
and the husband of the latter having been made acquainted with the
nature of their dispute, immediately went to the house of the com-
plainant to demand an explanation. The complainant refused to
gratedany, upon which he immediately seized her by the neck,
her to the ground. and, while in that situation, knelt upon
her breast, and nearly choked her, besides beating her violently at
the same time with his fiats.

The Illagistrates, perceiving the woman to be in danger, re.
marked that it was a case of such an aggravated description, that,
instead of inflicting the highest penalty they were empowered to
do, which was a punishment not at all adequate to the offence, they
should make the defendant find sureties to answer the charge at t!
sessions, and give 24 hours notice of the bail he intended to offer.
