Ye who, Like us, Ilelvellin's height have won,
And seen the bright lakes glittering in the sun,
View'd the blue distant sea, and, nearer huri'd,
Hills upon hills, the fragments of a worht—
Have heard the sheep-bells tinkle far below,
Joir.'d with the cesseleu rush of water's flow,
Ant, cautious, bending o'er the steep of death,
Llok'i round with swimming eye and struggling breath;
Deened ye not, when the mighty ridge was most,
'flat oil the pleasure scarce paid key the cost ?
SO strives proud man Ambition's height to gain,
A long, long march of anxious hope and pain,
And finds, when all he wish'd for is possess'd
.'That the calm lowly sceqp is stilf thebest !

assistance, on which he dropped down and instantly
expired. lie was taken to the Golden Lion public-
house, aad a surgeon sent for, but he was quite dead.
The deceased was about six feet in height, and ap-

An Inquest was yesterday held at a public-house
at the corner of Ileurietta-street, Covent•garden, on
the body of J. Elliott, a tailor, who died suddenly at
the house of Mr. Godfrey, of Burleigh-street, into
which he had gone, sayin,r he was unwell, and re-
quested leave to sit down. NPerdict—Died by a Spasm
in the Heart.

Late on Tuesday night, as Mr. PAsNman, decora-
tor, Denmark-street, Soho, was returning home with
Mr. SMITH, his friend, in a single horse chaise, from
a convivial party at flackiiey, the wheel of the chaise
caught that of a waggon laden with garden stuff in
readiness to proceed the next morning to market, by
which it was torn off, and the chaise was upset with
a treMendous crash. Mr. PASMORE was for several
minutes senseless ; he Nns afterwards carried from
the spot, near Ball's Pond Turnpike, to Islington,
where it was ascertained that his leg was broken in
two places. Yesterday he underwent amputation,
and doubts are entertained of his recovery. Mr.
Smtru did not receive a single bruise.

Monday evening, as a Gentleman's carriage, with
four post horses, was coming down Salthill at a rapid
pace, one of the leaders stumbled, and threw the
postilion. The man on the wheel horse immediately
endeavoured to pull up, but before he could stop the
motion of the carriage, the near fore-wheel passed
right up the centre of the unfortunate postilion's body,
and killed him instantly. His name was said to be
Friar,and that he belonged to the Swan Inn, Windsor.
A few nights ago, a party of ten or twelve men, all '
well mounted, and armed with swords and pistols,
wearing hairy corps and crapes over their faces, cote-,
refitted a most daring burglary in the dwelling-house
of Mr. John Chapman, of Hollyfield Hall, in the
parish of Waltham Holy Cross, in the county of
tsset. About two o'clock in the morning, as two of
the labouring men were proceeding to the stable, in
order to yoke the horses to go to market, they were
surprised by the gang, who after tying them together
in the stable, threatened to take their lives if they
made the least alarm, and ordered them to provide
them with a crow bar, in order to force open the street
• door; no crow bar being on the premises, they pro-
cured a plough coulter, with which they forced open
the door, leaving one of the party as sentinel over the
two men. After gaining an entrance, they tied down
the maid servant, who they found had got up ; and
whilst some of the party with presented-pistols stood
over Mr. Chapman and family, the rest proceeded to
rob the house, and succeeded in carrying off 1:74 in
bank notes, four watches, and several other articles,
and escaped with the booty.
,Thursday sennit,..ht a Gentleman was stopped by a
highwayman on the Old Kinsale-road, Ireland—the
villain fired a pistol at him, the ball of which passed
through his hat, and burnt his hair—his hoise, how-
ever, starting off at full gallop, saved his property,
and, perhaps, his life.

hours after ; the other two have, with medical assis-

NFOROSS.—Frotn &mu's Sketches in America:—
The emancipated negro, and all who bear affinity with
him in the slightest tinge of complexion, are excluded
ty the Ages of society from equal participation in
those advantages which are the birthright of free-
men. From the many passages which describe their
'degraded cdndition, we select one, peculiarly striking
and significant. Mr. Frataou makes no comment on
it, and it needs none :
4' ESTIMATION OF NEGROES.—The three African
Churches,' as they are called, are for all those native's
Antericans who are black, or have any shade of co-,
lour darker than white. These persons, though many',
of them are possessed of the I ights of citizenship, are
not admitted into the church ts which are visited by
whites. There exists a penal law, deeply written in',
the etinds of the whole white population, which sub-
jects Their coloured fellow-citizens to unconditional
contumely and never-ceasing insult. No respectabi-
lity, however unquestionable, no property, however
large, no character, however unblemished, will gain
a man, whose body is (in American estinaationYttisrsed
with even a twentieth portion of the blocid of his
• African ancestry, admission into society!!! They
are considered as mere Pariahs— as outcasts and va-
prams upon the face of the earth! I make no reflec-
tsn 'won these things, but leave the facts for four
