OXFORD SIGNS OF LOVE.

EY AN-Li/IN-CONSOLABLE LONER.

She is light as the Gogiesusd and fair as the Angel;
Her looks than the Mitre more sanctified are;
But she dies like the Bask* and leaves me to strange ill,
Still looking to her as my true polar Star.
Nets lon-ventions I try, with new art to adore,
But my fate is, alas! to be voted a Roar;
My Coals I forsook to contemplate her charms,
And must own she is fit for our noble King's Anne !
Now Creu'd and now Jeekey'd, now sad, now elate,
The Chefuers appear but a map of my fate ;
I blush'd like a Bfue.-cstr• to seed her a Pheasant,
But she called me a Turk and rejected my present.
So I roop'd by the Barley Maw, griev'd in my mind
That the 4rl from the flood ever rescu'd mankind !
In my dreams Lions roar and the Green Dragon grins,
And fiends rise in shape of the Seven Deadly Sins—
When I ogle the Bells, should I see her approach,
0 ! I skip like the Nag and I rush like the Coach.
She is crimson and white like the Shcadder sf Mow"
Not the red of The Or was so bright when first put en;
Like the Holly Buss prickles she scratches my liver,
While I ;dog and I die like the Swan by the River !

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

Ernissrtz Rosavar sr Ssavasers.--Yesterday Daniel 111"Car-
thy and Willies's Darby were brought up, the former charged with
stealing a large quantity of plate, the property of Lady Anne
Dashwood, and the latter vri* feloniously receiving the same,
knowing it to have been stolen.
Lady Dashwood apptared to give evidence against the priso-
ners, and was attended by General Maitland, who, with her
Ladyship, took a seat on the bench. •
lady Dashwood being sworn, stated, -that the prisoner_
M'Cltrthy was her butler fur a very considerable time, and that
be left her service abruptly on the 9th of July last. Since his
departure she had discovered that upwards of 100 pieces of plate
were missing. They must have been stolen either from her
own-house, No. 1, Montague-place, or front the Cloisters, at
Windsor-Castle, where she resided occasionally.
Mr. Sampson, a pawnbroker, produced a large quantity of
plate, which had been pledged at various times at his shop by
the prisoner Darby. None of the plate had a crest or arms open
it, but simply the initials "F. U." Witness, when the prisoner
first came to his house with plate, questioned hi& very minutely,
and he said that the articles belonged to his mistress, a Mrs.
Dashwood, who lived in Montague-street. She was, he added,
in a small way of business, and had occasion fur money to pay
her men. He came many times after this, and whenever he was
questioned, always told the same story, sometimes adding, that
the witness need be under nu apprehension that be was not deal-
ing with an honest man. He called himself John M'Carthy, and
et. duplicates were uniformly made out in this farm :—" Juhn
M'Carthy for Mrs. Dashwood." He first began to pledge at the
snap in June, 121, and continued until December last, and some
things had been pledged subsequently. The articles pledged be-
fore August la year were out and had been sold.
Sir It. Brame asked the pawnbroker if it did rot occur to him
as rather an extraordinary circumstance, that a person of respect-
ability should suffer articles of plate to run out, where they
might have been preserved by paying the interest?
The witness said it did ran appear singular to him.
