Of Caledonia's land the grate,
Chief scion of ao ancient race;

Beloved, admired, and early lost :
From life and all its blessings torn,
And here by weeping strangers borne,
Montgomerie, model for the bravo,
Was destined to a foreign graye.— •
. Sternly reused the wished-for blow
By cruel death, invidious foe !
He fell by slow disease and pain,
Oh! why not on the battle plain ?
Why, why, denied his ardent claim
To die the Soldier's death of fame ?
Tet tire sustained a noble pause,
Surrounded in his Country's cause!
With Honour's banner o'er him laid
lie sleeps beneath that holy shade;
With Honour's sword upon his heart,
Devoted friends—too dear to part !
He rests among the warriors round,
• In Glory's consecrated ground ;
Murmurs be hushed—he shares the fate
Of many a gallant chief and great !
Bet, Soldier! thou may'st shed a tear—.
Thy leader and thy friend lies here:—
It thus a Soldier's tear niay seek
The war-worn furrow in his cheek,
And strangers feel the mournful gloom
That wrapt Montgomerie's timeless tomb;
Who shall prohibit Ft iendsliip's sigh,
Or blame Affection's melting eye ?
The grief of kindred hearts controul,
And hide the sorrow of the soul ?-••
Nature still triumphs in the breast,
And every sigh she breathes is blest!

NIANCHESTER, DECEMBER 2U.—Last week was most
uncomfortable in this neighbourhood. Thetorrents of
rain on Sunday and Monday made the river swell to
a great height, and cut off communication, by the
common route, from Broughton, S:rangeways, &c.
and on Friday, a most hurricane-like gale was expe-
rienced. A p tit of the stone-work over the east gate
of Cheethant's College was blown down. It feU

hood, rented by the inhabitants of the town, were
made common by the fury of the blast. At. Kemal-
moor, several of the stands were blown down. Mrs.
lloattostaN, an elderly person, widow of a landlord
of the Hare and Hounds public house, adjoining the
Lace-coot se, was killed by the tall of one of them. 4
Tuesday, two lads, about l 3 years of age, twin ions'
of Mr. LLOYD, a barge-owner, of Stourpprtr were
drowned in the river Avon, at Eveshans. Tbey.had
sol cited their father's persnission to go on the water
'in his own boat, which he peremptorily refused.; but
'they rashly gut into another' and were carril. ' by the
'rapidity of the stream towards the bridge, where the
river being too high to admit their going through the
arch with the mast standing, the boat was upset,
and they both perished within sight of their parent;
A third boy lapprentice to their father) who was
with them, was fortunately saved.
A band of armed ruffians, about a week back, at-
tacked the house of Mr. Baker, of Kilmanagh, in
Kilkenny, in search of fire-arms. Having been re-
fused adinittance,- they fired several shims into the
and, their fire being briskly returned, the mis.
creunts set 6w to the house, and retreated. The
premises were reduced to ashes. • 7 .

CITY BLUTIONS:

Yesterday, being St. T.hornas's Day, Wardniotes
were held in the several City precincts, for the
Election of Common Councilmen and subordinate
Officers for the ensuing year. We never recollect
so little bustle as on this occasion. In the following
two Wards, viz. Lime-street, SPEARS, vice WOOD-
WAR!), resigned ; Bridge,. Mr. GYE, Vic ATTWOOD,
resigned ; were elected without opposition.
• FARRINGDON WITHOUT.
At the Meeting of the Ward of Farringdon With-
out, in St. Bride's Church, Fleet-street, Sir C. Pince,
the Alderman of the Ward, in the Chair—
Mr. THOMPSON, of Holborn, previously to proceed.
ing to the election, thought that the Alderman ought
to explain why he had refused to call a Meeting of
the Ward, in pursuance of a requisition, to considet
the propriety of petitioning Parliament respecting
the contemplated renewal of the Property Tax ?
Mr. Wartn%last also agreed in the propriety of
calling on the worthy Alderman to explain, under-
standing that the requisition had attached to it up-
wards of 70 names. As he did not doubt that it was
in the contemplation of Ministers to propose the re-
newal of the whole, or part of the Property Tax, and
as he had as little doubt that it would be collected
even more oppressively, whether continued wholly or
partly, he deemed it a monstrous abuse to their pri-
vileges to attempt to prevent any Meeting on this or
any other question. The value of the public voice
on such a question, knowing what the universal sen-
timent was, would be incalculable ; and yet the
people might rest assured, that as long as they chose
to pay so heavy and unconstitutional a tax, the Mi.
sisters would discover some means of expending the
produce of it. If proper retrenchments had been
made the tax would not be required. Inste id of sad-
dling the country with such scandalous jobs as that
trick of state to remove a troublesome Member from
the Hpuse of Commons, the appointment of Mr.
Canning at £14,000 a year, to represent our gracious
Sovereign, where there was neither King nor Court
—(ontil aNdatue.)—That appointment drew in its
train m tny other expenses, fir the friends of Mr.
Canning must be provided for to the thing com-
pletely. Amongst the rest Mr. Hisskisson had a
place, and although he had formerly given them
most gloomy pictures of our finances, and of the state
of the currency, telling the country that retrenchment
alone could save them, yet during the present Session
he had never opened his mouth, nor need they expect
to hear any thing of him, except to support the Mi-
nisters, or to defend the propriety of some new tax,
such as the Property Tax.—(Lati,ghter and aNdause )
Sir C. PRICE said, that he had now nothing to do
but with the election, nor would he listen wanly ex-
traneous matter, and that he could not agree to any
Requisition till it should have first received the ap-
probation of the Lord Mayor.
Mr. MILLER, of Skinner-street, and Mr. Parrev,
of Ludgate-hill, new Candidates, having offered
themselves, vowing that they would support what
remained of our glorious Constitution—
Sir C. Pelee proceeded to the election, reading the
names which had been returned by the several Pre-
cincts. The Alderman declared the spew of hank
to be in favotmof all the names except that of Mt
Miller, and that Mr. Patten bad been elected in the
room of Mr. Miller.
Mr. Mxt.t.zn then demanded a poll.—Granted.
The poll then proceeded, and at its 'conclusion the
numbers were as follow, the contest being between

COURT OF lONG.i BENCH, DEC. 20.
wrist.* v..conOtiv.
The plaintiff in this ease was elwhnlestile ho,lier in
town, and the defendant a respectable inn-keeper, re-
siding in the country. The *sent action Wats brought
to recover a compensation for a loss and inconveni-
ence sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of the
defendant's son, who was arnoenticed to the plain-
tiff, having absented himself from the plaintiff's ser-
vice without leave. It appeared that young Gooden
was, in ISO 9, articled to the plaintiff for live years.—
On the 23d of December last some dispute arose be-
tween the plaintiff and him, in consequence of his re-
fusing to beat a carpet. The plaintiff, on his refusal,
said he should leave his house. Young Gooden de-
clared his readiness to-do so, if his things were given'
up. Mr. Smedley refused to give up his things,' but
said he might go himself. Young Gooden went and.
beat the carpet, and afterwards went in and told Mr.'
Smedley he was ready. Mr. Smedley said he would:
speak to him presently. Young Gooden continued
in the house the whole of that day, and slept there
that night ; but quitted the house the following mor-
ning. In the evening of that day Gooden came in a
coach, and sent a note into the house by the coach.
man for his things ; but they were refused. Nest,
morning Gooden came, accompanied by his brother,'
and demanded his things ; the plaintiff, however,'
again refused to give them up, telling young Gooden
that he still considered him as his servant, and de-
sired he would come back. This, however, the
young man refused to do ; he left the house imme-
diately, and had not since returned to his service.—
It also appeared, that the plaintiff wrote letters to the
defendant and to his son, informing the defendant,
that, attic son did not immediately return, an action
should be commenced against him for a breach of
contract ; and calling on the son also to return.
Mr. SCARLETF was then proceeding to address the
Jury, and to call witnesses on the part of the defen-
dant, to prove that the plaintiff had given him full
permission to quit his houses, when
Lord ELLENIDROUGII suggested that it would be
highly desirable for both parties if this matter could
be referred to some friend of the parties out of Court,
to settle the matters between them. This suggestion
was adopted, and a Juror was withdrawn by consent.
Femme v. PARTRIDGE.
This was ar action on a 'promissory note for 415.
ss. drawn by the defendant, and ;paid *over to the
plaintiff, as a consideration for necessaries furnished
by the plaintiff to a young woman and infant child,
the woman having formerly lived servant with the
defendant, and become pregnant by him; and the
child being the child of the defendant. The hand-
writing of the defendant was proved, and also that the
bill tad been presented when due. The defendant,
however, refused to pay it, saying it was illegal, it
having been obtained from him as a consideration for
the maintenance of a.bastard child, and its niettier.—
The Jury, however; felt differently, and found a ver-
dict for the plaintiff—Damages £15..55.
