HAGGARD, ARNOLD. &C. •
• Richard How Manley, George RiekeFdt.Johk Brown ,
Charles Wall,
John ferguson, Daniel Miller, and siohn
were indicted for feloniously atealysg. on the
24th September list, on the high seas, about three miles
from Sincapore, in the East Indies, one boat called a.
cutter, of the value of 901. seven pistols, value Id. two
muskets, value M. two compasses, value 40s. two tar-
paulins. value 41. one main top gallant studding sail,
value 251. and other articles, the property of John
Christie Locker and pal tners.
Two only of them were in custody, namely, Hopkins
and Ferguson.
Mr. BARRY, on behalf of the two prisoners. applied
to have their trials postponed, on the ground that Hop-
kins was only committed yesterday, and the other pri-
soner only taken last night.
Mr. Justice PARK thought there was sufficient ground
for the postponement of their trials; but he was most
anxious that they should not be punished by being im-
prisoned for six months before they could be tried.
Ile was disposed to liberate them, oo moderate bail
being given.
Eventually it was agreed that, in order to avoid so
long an incarceration, the Sessions should be adjourned
to the 2d of July.
G• Beaumont was called to appear against Captain%
Bragge, and appeared. It will be recollected that this
individual was tried and acquitted upon a charge of
having murdered a black man, on a voyage from the
East Indies.
The prosecutor having appeared, a bill was prepared
instanter, and found true by the Grand Jury. The
charge is that of an assault, arising, we understood, out
of the aforenamed transaction.
The Court was then adjourned.

THE FINDING Or MOSES.
_ .

The far.stretchlng Kilos one chrysolite seems,
And bright is the Heav'n from his bosom that beams;
But ne'er lamb his billow reflected before
A form so divine as approaches his shore:
Like the star that first gems the still blow of the night,
She comes--ond her maidens are lost in her light—
Like the star gliding down to the slumbering wave,
She hastens her pearly-pure bosom to lave.
But, daughter of Pharaoh! the boast of the land!
What spell now arrests that fleet foot in the sand?
Why bends that keen eye o'er the flags spreading yonder ?
Why cluster, ye damsels, in silence around her ? •
Chills the crocodile-god that pure bosom with fear?
Or is crocodile-man with his wiles lurking near?
No—staid is that footstep, and staid is that eye ;
But of danger she dreams not; no danger is nigh.
'Tie you garlanded skiff by the brink of the stream,
Like the cloud-butt pagoda of day's dying beam—
Like the fairy-fraught car e'er the moon•beam that strays—
Has puttered her bosom and fetter'd her gaze :
And her maidens have sped with the fleetness of thought,
Ana the trophy triumphant before her have brought.
'Tis of bulrushes built, and betokens an art
That is Nature's alone, that but springs of the heart.
So goodly the casket, oh! who may divine
The price of the jewel that's treasured within?
Ti.' displayed—a sweet babe, while she looks, looks again ;
And the innocent wept, and he wept not in vain !
