HAME IS HAME FdR A' THAT.

Is there a wicked spendthrift here,
• Would cheat the folks and e that ;
He swears that England is ten dear,
And goes to Ghent and a' that.
For a' that, and a' that, '
His knavi,h tricks and a' that,
Enough remain to keep the name
Of honest men, for a' that!

Is there a flaunting leering wife,
WWI wrong her spouse, and a' that;
To France she wits to end the strife,
And cuckold him and a' that.
For a' that; and a' that,
Her wanton smiles and a' that;
The girls that stay shall bear away
Fair beauty's paint for a' that.
u No stone that rolls," the wise man salds
" Shall gather moss," and a' tbat
And they who seek the Sun for shade%
Shall come back fools and a' thus
Far a' that, and a' that,
Their manners, French and a' that;
The poor man mourns, the patriot scorns,
Such want o' sense and a' that!

day the last examination of these persons took place.
The two Barrys were admitted as evidence. Mr.
Hobler read the whole of the evidence, after which
Brock and Pc/ham were committed to take their trial
for ailing and abetting in coining. - The crowds
about the Mansion House were incalculable, and the
prisoners were not sent till a late hour to prison, in
consequence of the apprehended fury of the mob.
Bow-mterr.—Two boys were brought from the
Lyceum Theatre, charged with attempting to rob
several Gentlemen, in the avenues leading to the
Theatre, in the Strand. They were both proved, by
the constable attending the Theatre, to have been in
company together, and one of them had his hand in
a Gentleman's pocket. They were both identified as
notorious thieves.—They were committed for further
examination.

The robbery stated yesterday by two pretended
plumbers at a Gentleman": house, No. 56, Spring-
gardensi early on Wednesday morning, turns out to
be of a more serious nature than at first apprehended.
The public at large ought to give particular instruc-
tions to their servants to be on their guard against
men coming into houses under pretence of being
plumbers to examine the pipes, stc. this system of
depredation having been carried on with great suc-
cess in different parts of London for some months
past. The following is a description of their persons.
One was habited like a plumber, with a light jacket
and a white apron on, rather stout, about five feet
two inches high, and 22 years of age ; the other ap-
peared to be about the same age, very thin, and wore
a loose h, riven great coat, five feet six or seven inches
in height. One of th:m had a black eye.

and he was secured by the watchman and taken to

day Mr.'Simeon Aldan, of the Edgware-road, was
brought up in the custody of Plank, the officer, for
committing a most unmanly assault on Miss Agnes
Clarke.—The prosecutrit, who is of a respectable
family at Manchester, stated, that she had been ac-
quainted with the prisoner's family about three yens.
A few days back she was at his house, and hearing
some altercation between him and another person, she
went to the door, which he shut in her face, but after-
wards came out and struck her violently, pinioned
her hands behind her back;and in that manner beat her
for several minutes with his fist. Her screams bt ought
Several persons to the street door ; but he saying she
was bis wife, no person interfered until he chose to let

sible bail for answering the charge at the Sessions.
John Barter and Joke Greta, were charged with
stealing a great quantity of poultry; the property of
Louis Duval, Esq. of Ealing.—Two-of the prosecu-
tor's servants said, that about three o'clock last Mon-
day morning, they were awoke by the barking of the
house dog ; they got up; but not seeing any person,

poultry were missing, and inquiry was made at Brent-
ford market, bet without effect ; but they were in-
formed the prisoners were stopped in Oxford-street
by the watchman, with i great quantity of poultry,
which proved to' be the same that were stolen from
their master's house.—Robert Copeland, watchman
in the parish of Mary-la-Bonne, having suspected the
prisoners, he insisted on looking at what they had got,
and, on seeing the fowls, was convinced they were
never killed for market, and stopped the, prisoners.—,
They were folly committed for trial.
