OMANI ADDRESS TO THE SUN.

Oh thou, estito:hr shove the world disease,
Bound u the shield which en= My Fathers ;rem
Whencnnx. tbrollnur 0 Son! sO4O SeoW led*,
Aud Whecoo, Os Whom, thy nne.d4lthili 414?
7epe manliest forth with beauty circled mend.
No lesser orbs are near *Teary found;
The stars are hidden from thy awful pee,
'j4 moon retires affrighted from thy rap;
,Abroo thou nsovest with almighty force ;
Who dares be a companion of thy course?
The ma?, which crown the mountains, fall iteray,
Tbo InOlantalnl, bowed with years, themselves decay;
The ocean shrinks, and quickly grows again;
The moon is lost in at ethereal plain ;
But thou dost smile for ever, as to day,
_Bulking in the splendours of thy way.
When darkling sir proclaims the tempest nigh,
When thunders roar aloft, and lightnings fly,
Thou lookest In thy beauty far aad wide,
And from thy clouds thou dost the storm deride !
Bet not to Oesian is thy visage blight;
His eye no more discerns thy glorious light
On Eastern !loads, when floats thy golden hair,
On Western gates, when thou dost tremble there !
But haply thou art, for a time, like me,
Thy years, thy ages, will their limit see.'
Thou, in thy clouds, shalt veil thy lovely head, • •
Careless when morning's voice would rouse thee film ebt bed!
Oh then rejoice, and let thy glory shine; •
Rejoice, 0, Sun, while youth and stress& art thine!.
Age Is a dark and all unlovely form, '''•
. ,
Like glimmering moonlight, impotent to warm,
•
When through the broken clouds it dimly shines,
And on the hills the straggling mist reclines, •
When the harsh North drives furious o'er the plain,
And the worn traveller's eye seeks refuge-4M in vain !

called at her house while her husband was from bone,

it was for keeping his house clean—she invited him
in, and be sat down on a chair. and took her on
his knee, and said he would be a friend to her as
long as she lived; he then took liberties with her—
she resisted. and told him it was very wrong, and
she could not look over his conduct—heat length de-
sisted, and left the house without any hope of pardon
from her; after he was gone she sat down and cried;
and then, upon serious reflection, she thought it better
not to say any thing to her husband ;boot what had

of Februssfy she defendant called on her again; the

vino to he such a. WO little devil as she was when he
called Wore, and that he bad come to complete his
purpose ; she told him if be did sin would expose him ;
he then tried to persuade her. but she would not con-

And repeated his conduct.

Witness—On the 12th March defendant discharged
her husband from his service, and then she told her
husband of defendant's conduct towards her; her hus-
band was in a great passion, and said he would go to
the defendant, but she persuaded him not to do so, and
two days afterwards she called at the defendant's house
to ask for the balance of wages doe to her husband;
defendant was not at home; she was shown into the
kitchen; when the defendant came home, be invited
her up stairs into the parl,ior ; she went there with him ;
she did not think any harm, because he had promised
not to insult her again ; she told him she had come to

wards ; he replied,o Oh, nonsense, don't you know bow
such people oblige one another in that way r Sbe told
him it he touched her she would sing the bell; he again
took liberties with her.
The witness narrated the story with the utmost glib-
ness, and did not allow either Counsel or Chairman to
interrupt her till she got to the end of it.
The CHAIRMAN (to Mf.C.Phillipo—Well, what can
you make of this?
Mr. C. PHILLIPS—I leave it in the hands of the
Court.
Mr. Anourius (for the prisoner.)—l have witnesses
to prove this is an ipfamons attempt to-extort money.
The CHAIRMAN:-1 think i; will be suificieot to bind
lie defendant over to keep the pow.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS—What! Does the Court mean to
compel him to keep the piece (pointing to the witness)
Croats of laughter . However, I dare say he will have
no objection. I will consent to a verdict of Not Guilty;
if he will pay the expenses of the prosecution. "
Defendant acceded to this arrangement, and a ver-
diet of " Not Guilty" was accordingly tenoned.
Mary Ann Barrett, and five other defendants, one of
them a solicitor, were indicted for conspiring together
to cause a Mrs. Hollis to be falsely arrested, and her
goods seized, under an alleged fraudulent commission.
• • Mr: BARRY having stated the facts of the case,
The Learned CHAIRMAN expressed his opinion that
.even if all the facts detailed in the Learoed Counsel's
.steteusent were supported by evidence, still they would
sot sustain this indictment.
The evidence therefore was not gone into, and the
Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Mr. PHILLIPS exhibited articles of the peace against
Mary Anne Pearce, well known by the name of Lady
Dermot.. on the part of a tradesman and his wife,
who had been obliged to prosecute her at the Old Bailey
some time ago, on the charge of stealing a pair of gloves.
The woman was acquitted on that masks°, and imme-
diately vowed she would break both the bones and the
windows of the prosecutors, a threat which she had since
given them reason to apprehend she would one day pot
in execution, unless she were bound over to keep the
peace towards them. .
The Learned cH4cllt!tisol..,slaid be could not think of
calling upon i person to 'bad sureties wlui be kpew.
and every body knew, hid not a friend in the world to
be bound for het. It *Gold be, in fact, imprisoning
her for life. If she Committed try 'Mea% 4 could
