ELEGY BY A SCHOOLBOY.
-...-

BROM THE BACHELORS WIFE.

Bow blest was I at Dobson's ball!
The flilellers came, my partner chosen!
Dly oranges were-tive in all ;
Alas! they were not half a dozen !
For scion a richer rival came,
And soon the bargain was concluded;
111y.Peggy took birri without shame,
And kit me hopeless and deluded!
To leave me for an orange more!
Could not your pockets-full content ye?
What could you do with all that store?
lie had but sit, and five were plenty !
And mine were biggest, I protest,
For some of his were only penny ones,
While mine were all the very best,
As juicy, sweet, and Large as anyone s!
Could I have thought, ye beaux and belles,
An orange would base so undone me,
Or anything the grocer sells,
Could move my fair one thus to shun me?
Ail night I sat in fiz'd disdain, "
While hornpipes numberless were hobbled ;
I watch'd my mistress and her amain,
And saw his paltry present gobbled!
But wh•n the country-dance was can't!,
I could have cried with pure vexation;
For by the-arms I saw her haul'd,
And led triumphant to her station !
What other could I think to take?
Of all the school she was the tallest;
What choice worth making could I make?
None left me but the very smallest!
But now all thoughts of her adieu!
This is no time for such diversion ;
botraduction lies in view,
And I must write my Latin version!
Yet all who that way are inclined,
This lesson learn from my undoing;

Unless your pockets are well lined,
'Tie labour lost so go a wooing!

LAW REPORT.
PALACE COURT, AUGUST t 7.
BICKERTON V. PARSONS.

This was an action to recover 121. 2s. the amount of
a grocer's bill. The plaintiff's case was, that the goods
had been supplied to the present defendant, by his
order. The defence rested, that the goods had been
supplied by order, and for the defendant's father, a pri-
soner in the King's Bench.
It appeared that on the 15th of May, the father being
attested, sold all his property to his son. The father
was consequently brought up by Habeas Corpus from
the King's Beach, and together with his daughter,
swore distinctly to an item of 61. 12s. being ordered by
him, and for his use, before surrendering. The daughter
spoke to the other items as haring been ordered by her,
for her

Much eloquence was displayed by Counsel on each
side, and the Jut*, aftet retiring half an hour, found a
verdict for the plaintiff to the full amount.
Mr. FLANAGAN instantly moved for a new trial, on
the ground of the verdict being contrary to evidence.
The Learned Junco said, it certainly was not such a
verdict as lie conceived would have been found on his
charge, or such a one as he should have found himself
—nor did he expect it ; but the Legislature had placed
the power in the hands of the Jury, and he could not
disturb what they had thought proper to find.

IRELAAD.

ENNISKILLF.N.SPECIAL SESSIONS, AUGUST 21.
The following curious case was this day investigated
before the Magistrates:

THE ORANGE BUCK GOAT; OR, 24‘CABE V. PARKER.
It appeared that on the day that Sir Abraham Bradley
King, like•the old Roman, made his triumphal entry
into Enni►killen, the prosecutor, M,Cabe, who is a
butcher by trade, possessing mote humour than discre-
tion, paraded through the town, decorated with orange
ribbons, an old grey-bearded buck goat, which he was
going to slaughter.
The traverser, who is an Orangeman, and likewise a
butcher by trade, viewing with indignation the grand
procession of the very reverend old goat as it entered
the shambles, and conceiving that the old gentleman was
intended as a mock representation of Sir Abraham, and
exhibited for the purpose of offending the majesty of the
Put ple Knight and his associates, furi..usly Attacked the
Orange animal, and nearly kilt the prosecutor.
The case did not go to the Juryrhaving been accom-
modated at the instance of the Orange members of the
Mar: ovsbone and Cleaver Auociation.

AN OLD TRADI REVlVlto".....Yelterday, Jasof and pat
Gornto* were brought before Mr. TWVFORD, by Bevis, the beadle
of Norton 1.-Agate, and Furlong, one of the
.00w-street day-patrol,
for final examinition, upon a charge of having, on last S.turday
night, gone into the shop of a Mr. Romanis, a respectable hosier, in
Norton Falgare, and, under the pretence of oyi-.7 Ow), were hefty
bangers, and that they wanted one or two shi.limts wort!, of NH..
(or old coin) pence or halfpence, for the purpose of prima • wires
and while the shopman of Mr. Romanis scattered in, the ~.anter a
quantity of such coin, the prisoners took the oprormunity of putting
a handful in their pockets, and then attempted to run away. Tb"
were, however, secured.—After the d►positions wert.
Mr. Tvrtrroms sentenced them to three months in time house
of Correction.

Fitzgerald then said—" Will your Worship allow us for the wteic
we have been in moody?'

Mr. TWYPORD—By all means, your punishment commvnees with
your offence.

ITALIAN REFUGEES.
THE Political Events which have of late so agitated
fSociety, have thrown upon the bounty of the British Public
large numbers of expatriated Foreigners, whose situation is one of
seat destitution and distress. Of these, a considerable portion have
been generously relieved; but many are left, principally Italians,
who, unless some provision be made for them, will be reduced to
the very lowest stage of want and misery. A few Gentlemen,
sympathizing with their sufferings, have associated themselves for
the purpose of making a temporary provision for them, until mea-
'sures can be taken to give them permanent assistance: and with
this view they would appeal to all wbo can feel for the situation of
those exiled strangers, who have sacrificed their prospects and lost
their all in the attempt to ameliorate the political institutions of
their country. Among them are many men of education and ac.
complishments, for whom situations might possibly be found, if an
effort were made by those of influence in Society; and such relief',
would be in every respect more honourable and more gratifying
than any other.—We have seen a List of the situations and acquire.
meats of eighty-three of these strangers, for which suitable em-
ployment is solicited, as it is not their wish to eat the bread of idle-
ness. We find among them persons able to teach all the European
and classical languages, drawing, painting, fencing, music, &c.
whose. services are available on application to any Member of the
Committee. The following Gentlemen will act as a Committee in
their behalf :

STUTGARD, AUGUST p.o.

The King, returning horn Marseilles, arrived en the
12th, in perfect health, at Athausen, where the Queen
joined him a few hours afterwards. On the 13th, their
Majesties went to Frederickshafen, intending to pas•:
some time on the banks of the lake of Constance.
ELBERSFELD, AUGUST is.

A Company has been formed here for the purpose of
working the mines of Mexico. The capital is to consist
of 400 shares, of .500 dollars each. Two hundred
shares are already sold. The Directors of the. Com-
pany, anthorized by the Proprietors, have sent some
able miners, an overseer, &c. to Mexico ; and have re-
ceived information of their arrival in Jamaica, with the
information from the Agent of the Rhenish India Com-
pany in Mexico, that several mines were ready, in which
they could begin their operations as soon as they arrived•

Numerous as the accounts from Peru have
been lately, none of them give a very satisfactory ac-
count as to the situation and prospects of BOLIVAR.
A letter has, however, been received from Valparaiso,
written by an English OiEcer who had served in the
Colombian army, containing information which we be-
lieve is tolerably correct. " The Liberator," says the
writer of this letter, " marched from Tru lino on the
12th of April, towards Huancao, with 9,200 veterans,
for the purpose of attacking General Cantarac at that
place, before General 'Valdez, could form a junction.
The latter General, however, having settled his differ-
ences with Olaneta, was understood by the last ac-
counts to be too far advanced on his march to rejoin
Cantarac, to allow the attack meditated by Bolivar to
be made before the junction. This movement, there-
fore, on the part of the General, ss ill not probably
anw er the view with which it was undertaken by him.
The most sanguine hopes are, however, entertained of
Bolivar's final success. He has left General Sucre in a
very strong position in the Sierra (mountainous district)
with all the recruits under his command. The natural
advantages of this position of Sucre's are strengthening
by fortifications, and he has orders to await there the
arrival of the reinforcements.

"The Mexicans, it appears, as well as the Colombians,
are lending their assistance to this great conflict, six
transports from the former Government having arrived
at Guayaquil with troops, which are on the march for
the head-quarters at Truxillo. Nine more Colombian
battalions had also arrived, so that Bolivar, by the end
of this month (May), will have under his banners
16,000 Colombian and Mexican troops, exclusive of the
Peruvians and the Chilians. The possession of Callao
by the Spaniards will tend, however, to protract the
war considerably. They have already fitted nut six
privateers, and are expecting the arrival of the Asia line
of battle ship from Cadiz. Guise, the Peruvian Admi-
ral, is blockading Lima, or I should rather say Callao,
but he has only his frigate with him and an 18 gun brig,
all the other men of war being employed in convoying
the troops from Colombia."

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday, an investigation took place before L. It. Arr..; r.,,
relative to a sum of money which was given by a csity:zt :„ a trati
named Barte, on condition that be should not appear a, ain.t him tti
prosecute. It appeared that, on the 18th of April last, a Mr. Barre
was assaulted on the highway by a man named ftstirk Birrett and
robbed of his watch. Barrett was taken into custody soon aiter tit&
robbery, and brought before the Magistrates at this Office,
he was identified by the Chief Constable as a returned mew:a.
Subsequent to the first examination the prosecutor kept out of the
way, and it was believed that he had received money from Barter:
for not appearing against him. flail, hosiever, by c, n•iderable ex-
ertions, after the prisoner's committal from this Office, traced ,ut
the prosecutor, and procured his attendance at Guildford. on
day last; when that person gave evidence against the pri-oner, nic
was convicted, and sentenced to transportation for life. A:ter the
trial was over, Barrett, on leaving the bar, requested to speak to
Hall, when he informed him that he had given the prosecutor hi&
guineas not to appear against him : and now that he had broken his
word, it was only fair it should be returned. Barte was surnmirted
before the Magistrate : he said he certainly had received the mane),
and considered it as art equivalent for his lost property.
The Mauls reprimanded him for his conduct, and or ,red
him to refund the money.

Readers by calling to their attention a practical work on the sub-
ject, by Mr. T. B..lentxsoo, of Liverpool, entitled the Sitoovsa's
Costraxtcni, which contains a rich fund of information relative to
Pointers and Setters, and such Birds as are the objects of the
Spottsman's pursuit. The training of Dogs for the•gam is well de-
tailed in this volume, as also the proper treatment of diseases to
which they are liable; the different species discriminated, and the
reason why one dog's power of scent is superior to another's; the
Fowling-piece fully considered in all Its improvements, and the
properties of percussion powder investigated, and compared with
common powder ; the Art of Shooting Flying illustrated, as well
with respect to grouse shooting and moor game, as partridge, pbea-
sant, snipe, woodcock, &c. wild duck, and other wild fowl, &e.
&c. The Game Laws also familiarly explained and illustrated by
numerous cases. The volume is further illustrated with three ex-
' „i4ite Engravings, by Landsier; and the price being only 9s. it
sian.la a fair chance of being the pocket companion of every sport-
ing man in the kingdom. Published by Sherwood and Co. Pater-

This fotenonn we received Frankfort Papers to the
21st. One of them contains an insidious article, under
the head Marseilles, which shews that the influence of
Lord STRANGFORD at the Court of Constantinople, ex-
cites great jealousy in a certain quarter. This we can
readily forgive, as well as the petty malignity which
accuses the British Government of throwing obstacles
di in the way of the French Ainbassador in the com-
mencement of the negotiations for the re-establishment
of the ancient relations between France and the Porte."
This paragraph, however, would lead to the belief that
the gasconading in tl.e French journals about the cordial
and splendid reception of Count GUILLENINOT at Con-
stantinople,was either exaggerated or mere idle und un-
meaning mummery. Had the writer,who must be some
malignant Frenchman, stopped here, we should scarcely
have noticed it ; but when he accuses English agents of
attempting to induce the Greek Islands and the Central
Government again to recognize the supremacy of the
Porte,we repel the calumny, and dare the atrocious libel-
ler to the proof. The fact is, that without violating the
acknowledged laws of neutrals, and without embroiling
the country in a war with Turkey (and this some English-
men. in their efforts to serve the Greeks, have almost
done), our Government could go no farther than they
have done; and notwithstanding the cant and rant of
the French Journalists, with their idle declamation about
the liberty of Greece, we should like to know what the
Government or people of France have contributed to
the event? But we need only give the Marseilles article
to chew its falsehood and malignity, and here it is :

tinations. The weather was favourable, and one-half
arrived at the respective places allotted to them in safety.
The manner in which they landed was this; a small
division directed their course to the centre of the bay,
towards Algesiras, at the same time that a small party
came down from St. Roch to cover the bridge of Pal-
znones, and the ferry-boat at Las Rias. Another party
entered the Mediterranean, to take the port of Matahina
and the banks of the Guadiaro, in the neighbourhood of
Estkiona, at the very moment that the Litter place was
threatened by a party of smugglers who had come
down from the mountains. The Royalists occupying the
Tines in front of Gibraltar, confused and confounded,
'did not know to which point their attention was to be
turned, and in the meanwhile Tarifa was attacked and
carried. An Officer, and some of his followers, who
Ought to defend themselves, were cut down. Imam-
rliately a detachment was sent forward to secure the
*ominunications with the mountains and Seville. The
division that ascended the Mediterranean has, we have
some reason to think, a more important duty to perform.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The Beggar's Opera was acted last night, and Miss
Hdrsrsa (the young Lady whose very 'singular debut
we noticed on Monday last), again appeared as the re-
presentative of Polly. Her share of the duet, "0,
Polly I you might have toyed and kissed," was very
sweetly executed. In this she was perfectly at home,
and exerted herself with a degree of freedom and spirit,
which was wanting elsewhere. As on Saturday, she
was honoured with an unanimous encore. The air,
" Can Love be confrontd by advice," was warmly ap-
plauded ; and " Cease your funning," which on the for-
mer evening was sung but once, she was last night
obliged to repeat. Madame VESTRIS, as Macheath, acted
with her usual vivacity and success, and Lucy was ex-
ceedingly well acted by Miss C. JONES, as were
Peachum, Tikh, and Lockit, by Messrs. FARREN, WEST,

THE KING.

WINDSOR, AUGUST 27.—This afternoon the KING,
accompanied by the Marquis CONYNGII AM, and attended
by one of the Park-keepers, and his usual outriders,
took an airing in the Great Park. Since his MAJESTY
has resided so constantly at Windsor, the greatest atten-
tion has been paid to the various tides that intersect the
Parks, and several new ones, embracing a 721 iety of the
most picturesque scenery, have been formed under the
KING'S immediate directioir. The great extent of
ground which is included in the Parks, enables, by this
means, the Royal Party to vary their daily exercise in
the most agreeable manner.

Mr. Secretary CANNING, we are happy to state, is so

robbed him of Windsor and other scented soaps to a considerable
amount. The prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Goddard'

IRISH ASSIZES.
CLONMEL AUGUST 14.
David Talbot, a police constable, was tried for the
murder of Matthew Houlihan, at Nlortlestown, last
April. It appeared that the deceased was to have pro-
secuted persons at the last Spring Assizes, for the burn-
ing of Sheahan's house, at St. Johnstown, near Killen-
, aule; he however did not come forward, on which the
men were discharged. Some time after, from the
doubtful character of Houlihan, the police of that
I neighbourhood had received orders to visit his house fre-
quently, in order, if found absent, to have him prose-
cuted under the Insurrection Act. Oa the night of the
3d of April, a party of the police, consisting of the
prisoner, his father, William T.ilbot, and another, came
to Houlihan's house; and, while they were demanding
a candle to be lighted, the deceased was endeavouring
to escape through the door at which young Talbot was
stationed ; old Talbot, who was inside, perceiving him,
called to the son to stop him ; but as deceased had got
some distance outside the house, the p;isoner (David
Talbot) fired, and immediately exclaimed, " Whoever
he is, I have done his busfiness.4
The Lord Chief Justice (Bunn) summed up the evidence ; and
the Jury retired for about half an hour, when they returned a ver:
dice of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy.
His Lordship said he would attend to it, and send forth their re-
commendation to a highrr quarter—he could promise nothing:
'• The prisoner has been allowed ten days' respite, until the opinion
Otthe Government be received.

BOXERS.

LA W: JIM —Notwithstanding the various reports which have been
in circulation, that the Irish Champion did not mean to spew in
London again, a letter was received from him at head-quarters in
London yesterday, stating that he is ready to tight any man in the
kingdom, from two to five hundred sovereigns. The letter is dated
from Cheshire, and his money, £5O, is ready to be deposited at
Jack Randall's, Chancery-lane, to fight off-hand or in the Spring.
Langan accounts for his not having come to London, in come-
quence of having received an injury in one of his shoulders, witich
is now got nearly right.

LINES ON SIR JOHN MOORE.

In the 6' Conversations of Lord Byron" diet e is a
copy of a dirge on the burial of Sir John Moore, of
which his Lordship speaks in such high terms, that
Captain Me-iwin was induced to think it was written
by his Lordship. Since the publication of the work,
the lines, which Jo not possess any extraordinary merit,
have been ascribed to a Mr. Woolf, to Mr. Hayley,
a Mr. Deacon, and some half dozen other person.. A
new claimant, and we suspect the right one, has
sprung up in a Dr. Marshal, of Durham, who, in
a letter to one of our cntemporaries, says " The
statement lately published in he Morning Chronicle.
the writer of which ascribes the lines on the burial
of Sir John Moot e to Woolf, is false, and as barefaced
a fabrication as ever was foisted on the Public. The
lines in question ate not written by Woolf, nor by
Bayley, nor i, Deacon tl e author, but they were com-
posed by nit'. I published them originally, some years
ago, in the Mohan: County Advertiser, a journal in
which .1 have at diffetent times inserted sevetal poetical
trifles, as—The Prisoner's Prayer .to Steep—l inn on Ike
la►uented Death of Benjamin Galky, Esq. and some
other little effusions.

66 I should not, Sir, have thought the lines on Sir
John Moose's funeral worth owning, had not the false
'statement of Ihe Chronicle met my eye. I can provr,
by the most incontestible evidence, the truth of what I
have asserted. The first copy of my lines was given by
me to my friend and relation, Captain Bell, and it is in
his possession at present ; it agsees perfectly with the
copy now in circulation, with this exception—it does
not contain the stanzas commencing with ' Few and
short.' which I added afterwards, at the suggestion of
the Rev. Dr. Alderson, of Butte! by."
The Doctor, it will be seen, possesses one of the at-
tributes often ascribed to authors, and poets in pas ticu-
Isr, nAntely ,the genus ritabile. We ought to add, that
the D,4rham C'ousity Advertiser some time ago stated,
that the lines fist appeAted in that Paper, and were
c‘Anninnicated by an anonymous Correspondent.
