pT T. MOOD, ZSQ.

She stood breast-high amidst the corn.
Clasped by the golden light of morn ;
Like the sweetheart of the Sun,
Who many a burning kiss had was.
On her cheek an autumn lush
Deeply ripen' : such a Mimi
In the midst of brown was bess.
Like red poppies in the men.
Round ►er eyes her tresses
Which were darkest none meld ten;
But long lashes, vell'd in light,
Which had else been all too height;
And her hat with shady brim,
Made ber forehead darkly dim ;
Thus s►e mood among the stooks,
Praising Goo with her sweet looks!
Sere, I said, Humus did not Man
Where I reap them shouldat but glean;
Lay thy sheaf Wow°, and ukase
Share my harvest and my Mere!

FRENCH PAPERS.

1111011 ?HI QUOTIDIIIOII.
Letters from Vienna announce that the Envoys of Por-
tugal and Brasil, having ►eceived important dispatches
from Rio de Janeiro, have had frequent confereaces with
the Infant Don Miguel. This Prince has also seen it
private Prince Metternich.
M. M. Pinto, Almeida, and Chaves, Braziliaa.Envoys
to Prince Don Miguel, have arrived at Paris from Brest.

PROS ?V

M. Rncha-Pinto, Chamberlain_ of the Emperor of!

Brazil, is to set oot this week for Vienna, accompanied
by another Brazilian, a Gentleman .of the Emperor's
Chamber, to conduct Don Miguel frOm Vienna to Brest,
where he will embark on board the J rhn VI. which
arrived some days ago in that poet, and which is des-
tined to carry the Prince to Brazil to his yonog bride.—
The rest of the suiteof Don Miguel, consisting of twenty-
f?or persons, will wait for him to France, and accom-
pany him to Brazil.,
It remains to be seen what will be the answer of Prince
Metternich and of the Infant Don Miguel to the formal
demands of the Emperor. Will the' rince be allowed
to depart to receive from his brother and hi! wife in.
structions for the regency which he may have to exer-
cise in her name? or will he be retained in Europe, to
maintain in Portugal the distrust of one party and the
intrigues of another; and thus to prevent theConstittnion
from being established in a durable and quiet manner,?
The claims of the English merchants have filially
been admitted by the Spanish Government. The House
of Syme and Cock has been in consequence inscribed
en the great book of the debt of Spain, tor a million,and
a half sterling ; and this House, which is responsible for
the debts due to the other creditors, is charged with the
liquidation of this business.

The Echo de Midi contains the following article from 14414,.
29th January:
We have learned the sad reverses of the Royal Portu-
guese troops. It is unhappily too true that a misunder-
standing had'arisen among the Royalists with respect
to the command. This misunderstanding is ascribed to
the gold of England ; it is to this cause, and the very
bad plan for the campaign which thethatil adopted, that
th: unfortunate result of the enterprise is.to be attributed.'
Letters from the frontiers assure us that the battle on
the 9tb was to the advantage of the Royalists, but that',
in consequence of false news which had been spread of
the landing of a great number of English troops at
Oporto,' great many Royalists had repassed the frontier.
It was immediately after this action and its melancholy results,
that the frontier fortresses fell Into the hands of theConstitutionalists.
The Journal du Commerce says—We have every rea-
son to hope that the difficulties which have hitherto
opposed the definitive conclusion of the commercial
treaty with Hayti, will have been removed by the dis-
patches which the Losange, a light ship of war, which
sailed from Toulon between the 12th and 'lsih of Oct.
last, carried to Port-au-Prinee. The principle of recipro-
city between the flags of the two countries seems to have
been generally admitted. The produce of Hayti imported
under the Hay ran flag (with the exception of sugar) will,
it seems, be received in France on payment of the same
duties as the produce of our Colonies imported by Freoch
vessels. We hope that this competition of the Haytian
flag will not be injurious to the French marine ; it will
serve as a stimulus to it, which will lead it to adopt the
economical methods which but too often cause the pre-
ference to be given to foreign flags.
General Morales, says the Echo der Midi, so celebrated
for his admirable conduct and his loyalty in the war
arinat the insurgents in America, is at length, after a
long oblivion of his services, restored to activity.
He has been appointed Captain-General of the Cana-
ries, and will immediately proceed from Madrid to
Cadiz, whet e he will embark with 1,000 or 1,200 troops,
to take possess o 0 of his new command.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Fut. IV:
MOW V. LORD {!DWELL.

Mr. Atroeuiti.Gastutat..pioved for an order that a
Petition in this cause might beleard before his Honour
the Vice-Chancellor. •
His Lowman, said be most wiliinsipmade•the order.
Mr. SHADWELL said, it was necessary this should be
a special order, because the Petition .aought -In effect to
vary an order made by the Itlitater of the Rolls, whisls
the Vice-Chancellor could not do, without the special'
leave of this branch of the Court.
His LORDSHIP remembeted that Lord Thurlow once
referred a case to the Chief Baron of the Exchequer,
with a desite that he would inform him what sort of
order he was to make; and in the present case, he (the
present Lord Chancellor) desired his kindest and best
compliments to be presented to the Vice,Chancellor,
with a request that he would be so good.as to let him
know what older he ought to-make here? He did.not care
what order was made, but he hoped he Woaftl not be
,desired to disinherit his elder brother—(taeghter).
Mr. &rainfalt observed, that his Lordship bad been once called
upon before to interfere in:siii.eitise;rseidellitelkad Serslsed to do.

In this case a Abides:nu: was moved for commanding
the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, to swear in Mr. Sherif

Mr. SCARLETT opposed the Rule, on the ground of
a defect in the affidavit.on -the part of Mr. Winchester.

COURT OF COMMON P1:11.4A Fa. 12'
DOLMA LL V. KANTOR.
The defendant applied to be discbarpd ender the Lords' Am
The plaintiff opposed this application, in person. He
relied on the circumstance of his not having received
notice according to the provisions of the Act.
The Couav decided, that the objection wee not well
grounded. The prisoner had been remanded en a for-
mer occasion to amend his schedule; the only notice
now necessary, was, that of the second bringing up
of the prisoner.
The prisoner was then examined st considerable
length, respecting some household furniture, said to be
in his possession. He replied, that at the time of his
arrest, he was reduced to extreme distress, and that his
laodlordet possession of the fixtures and- furniture,
in satisfaction of his rent, but without any collusion
with him.

The natures were then allowed to be Inserted in tbotelsedole, sad
an undertaking entered into to pay the prisoner 6s. 6d. a week.
PIOISZR 1. 14111MATI.
It will be recollected, that Colonel Fairman was
Proprietor of a Newspaper called the Palladium. He
now applied to be discharged, under the same Act as
the preceding prisoner. The application was opposed,
on the ground that Ms commission was omitted in his
schedule.

The Cuter Jonlca expressed his belief that the commission was
not assignable.
Mr. Sergeant Wipe admitted this, but Col. Fairman had re-
ceived more than MAL arising out of the sale of his commission.
The defendant was then examined on this point, and
acknowledged his having drawn several sums from
his agents, which he applied to defray the expenses of
the Palladium, but had, unfortunately for himself, and
in a very extraordinary manner, been deprived of the
copyright of that Paper.
The Court decided that the proceeds of the commission mast be
entered In the schedule.
The prisoner was then remanded, his attention being previously
called by Mr. Sergeant Wilde to the circumstance of no mention
being made in his schedule of types, presses, &c.
The enter Justice observed, that the notice of this was an act
of mercy towards the defendant, saving him the neeenity of being
spin scut back.

JACOI AIITIAT V. CIASTN.
Mr. Sergeant TADDY moved, on behalf r f t'a de-
fendant, to postpone the trial to the Sim sittings in
Easter Term, on the ground of the absence of some
matetial witnesses. The affidavit of the defendant
stated, that he had made inquiries respecting one of
them, named Martha Shorter, and was informed that
she was at Readly, in the county of Oxford, where,
having made further inquiries, he learned that she had
Tone thettce, but hoped to secure her attendance in Easter
erm. As respected another witness, named Carroll,
he was informed by the waiter at the Union Hotel, in
Cockspur-street, that he (Carroll) was in Ireland, and
would return in about six weeks.

The Cove:observed, that it did not appear that the parties an-
swering the inquiries ►ad joined in the affidavit. It could not be
considered an affidavit at all.

Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN observed, that by refusing
this application, the Court would merely compel the
defendant to go to the expense of another application.
He should be obliged to come again on the day of the
trial, and to obtain his application on more satisfactoly
affidavits.—Rule discharged.

NUNS Lao MOVERIRIP. •
The Carat Justice said, that in the present Term
the Court ,had reason to think that the interests
of tnar-
ried women were not properly protected in the present
mode of „passing fines and recoveries. To prevent, in
some degree, the bad effects of the present practice, the
Court had drawn up an order with regard to future
cases. His Lordship then read the order, which, after
reciting the inconveniences which the Court desired to
remedy, proceeded to direct-Ist, That the Commis:
sioners taking 'affidavits of married women, should
themselves make an affidavit, stating, that none of such
Commissioners were the attornies, solicitors, or agents,
or .clerks to the ;atomics, solicitors, or agents, of any, of
the sparties. And 2d, That at the time of taking the
affidgvits, the Commissioners should inquire of the mar-
ried women, whether they understood that they were
giving up all their interest without return ; or if they
had any return, by way of se tlement, being made on
them, then the Commissioners should see such settle-

ment duly executed, and should afterwards make s
affidavit to that effect.

The Luso Collar Jtarrica refused to make the rule absolute. The
description might be considered a translation of the words in Alag-
na Charta. Az mg this Court as one to be held," Alirso cede/ye:"
Air. Justice Iluauoucx concurred in the remark, and added, that
it was frequently called the Court of Common Ilene&
MHZ/ IN THE CITY Of LOTIOON....WOOUCIALL •. YOUNS.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to re-
cover the amount of certain tithes, accruing to him as a
Lay Rector. Just before the trial an order w,as made,
by which the declaration was changed into the torte of
an action of debt. The defendant pleaded severaispe-
cial pleas, and amongst them One, to the effect that the
decree for tithes in the parish of St. frialea's, Bishops-
gate, .bad newer been enrolled, and on that fart the
Jury on the case gave a verdict for the defendant, in
consequence of the plaintiff's being unable to chew any
enrolments Owing to the lot mof the declaration and
plea, this verdict was only entered on certain cossets.—
A motion was then made for a neW trials the plaintiff;
not bring the pose into Court, and the defendant
could a/8 kre final judgment.

to allow him to be *imitated, or to enter a discontinuance of the

Mr. Sergetto 'Wane, on behalf of the defendant, objected to
there being granted tu the plaintilf such an extraordinary instal-
pence.
The Loan Cuter Jurrscs several times repeated that the Court
bad the greaten dislike to conclude valuable rights except after the

fullest coasideration.
Finally, the plaintif was allowed his motion in the form In which
he prayid it.
il:Dougall then prayed the Court for liberty to strike out
the first count in the declaration.
The COUST could not allow it.

were not 'ailing before the wind.

LONDON FEVER HOSPITAL.

The annual meeting of the Governors of this Hospital
was held on Friday last, at the Freemasons' Tavern :
lA. MA Lt.', Esq. in the Chair.
Dr. Twaiumg, one of the physicians, presented the
Report, born which it appeared that fever has been un-
dsoall7 prevalent in the metropolis and the vicinity,
Ming the past year ; for eight months, at least, the
hospital being constantly full. In the autumn, the
number of applications for admission was so great,
that in September alone, although a great number of
patients were admitted, there were- three times as
many refused for want of room. It was calcolyed,
that, during August, September, and October, upwards
of 200 individuals were denied the advantages of this
Hospital. S ime idea of the condition of the suffering
poor during this period may be estimated, when the
physicians report affirms, that at one time there were
forty applicants for the first vacant bed, and that more
than 20 of these occurred in one day.
The benefits of this Hospital extend to the more
wealthy as well as the poorer classes, as no fewer than
1443 domestic servants were admitted during the last
year, and, consequently, the same number of families
were at once relieved from the danger of infection.
A proper anal convenient bed is not only sent to the
dwelling of the patient, who is thus easily removed into
the Hospital, but proper measures are taken, under the
superletendance of the Inspector, to have the apartment
of the sick thoroughly cleansed and fumigated, and in
cases where it may be necessary, the chamber is white-
washed. These precautions are taken, with the view of
checking the progress of contagion, and instances of
its efficacy are almost daily witnessed:

From the circumstances detailed, it is easy to con.
ceive that there must have been an increased expenditure
during last year, and it will scarcely be credited, that an
institution from which all ranks of the community re-
ceive so much advantage, cannot meet the annual ex-
penses incurred, even with the greatest attention to eco-
nomy, consistently with the comforts of the patients.
The expenses of last year have exceeded the income by
6001.

FATAL AOCIDINT ON THE SERPENTINE
a Gentleman of the name of Dams, considered the
finest skaiter that had appeared for a long time, was
skaiting yesterday on the Serpentine River, the ire sud•
denly gave way, and from the velocity with which be
was going, he immediately disappeared. Every aid
was rendered by the Humane Society men in attend-
ance, but in vain. Up to a late hour, the 604 of the
unfortunate Gentleman was not found. The ice was in
a most dangerous state from the multitudes upon it on
Sunday, and the rapid thaw yesterday.
