And sailer was chinking my pouches within ;
When my lambkins were bleating on meadow and brae,
As I gaed to my love in new cl.:eding sae gay :
Kind eves she, and my friends were free,
But Poverty parts good company!
Tinw swift pass'd the minutes and hours of delight, '
When picer play'd sheerly, and cruily burnt bright !

As she footed the floor in her Italy-day Beer.
Woe is use! and can it then ba,

The cheering and life o' my bosom ha'e been.

Tuesday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, sit-
ting against the wall of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S
stables., in Piccadilly, apparently quite exhausted,
and when spoken to was unable to answer. He

st mutating• medicine being immediately adminis-
tered, appeared to revive him a little. Ile seemed
to be sensible of what was passing, but never spokes

bouring man, was decently dressed, and had upwards
of 2s. in money about his person, and part of a but-
tered roll in his pocket. The body being opened,
some food was found in the stomach ; the lungs were
partly diseased, and he had every appearance of

Wednesday an Incpre:t was held at the Elephant

Roe and John Bishop. Mr. Dupre, a pavior, who
some time ago built a sewer in Drummond-street,
Euston-square, had occasion, about twelve months
siuce, to dam it up about half way, in order to force
back the water into a brick-field, for the purpose of
making brick,. On Tuesday, for the purpose of
removing this dam, and letting the water again flow,
these two men went• into the sewer, and on their re-
moving the dam a discharge of water and foul air
suddenly burst upon them. A boy beard a moan,
and gave an alarm to some labourers, when Angus-.
tine Egan went in and dragged out Roe, and had
him conveyed to the workhouse, where a surgeon
_ at-
tended, bat he was too far gone to recover. Thomas
Walker, another labourer, went into the sewer for the
other man, after was taken out; the mud was
then about three feet deep ; he was about to return,
being nearly sdffocated, when lie laid hold of one of
Bishop's legs, and with much difficulty dragged him
out, bui he was quite dead; he was himself nearly
exhausted when he got out. Verdict—Died by suf-
focation, occasioned by foul air. •

Bow-Stmerr.—An application IV 7.3 made to Sir RICHARD Dia.;
Her and Tuonas Haim, Esq. the presiding Magistrates, by an
Attorney, for a warrant against a young Lady, whom he de,„
sullied to be living in a. mnct fashionable style, for obtaining, by
false pretences, front several tradesmen who were then present,
goods to the amount of between 7 and 8031. The lady, he said,
had in the first instance applied to him, and represented herself
as the only surviving Child of an eminent builder, who lately
died worth a considerable sons of money. the whole of which
was coming to her. She gave him instructions to take the ne-
sessary steps towards forwarding her claim, and alto produced
soreral documents tending to prove the truth of her assertions.
tae accordingly took such measures as she ease required; when,
' in the meantime, the lady hired a large house, and, besides an
extensive assortment of handsome furniture, ordered in virile
s.re artitless jewellery, watches, &c. referring the tradesmen
to him for a confirmation of her statement, and on the faith of
what he told theM, they gave her credit; it has however bean
since ascertained, that, akherogh she was actually the person she
represented herself, she had nu title to her father's property,. as
mother was stilt living ; but; on the contrary, that it was so
disposed of, that she would sos have a shilling of it. Under these
circumstances, application was made to the lady to return back
her ill-gotten spoil; bus she peresupturtly'refused.—The appli-
cants entered into a lOng discussion, contending that the her of
the principal representation, namely, the right to the property,
