oh, the last look is hard to bear
Even of a stock. or old grey stone,
Or any thing to childhood dear
Which memory loves to dwell *pot
But fond affection never proved
So thrilling, so severe a pain,
As looking on a face beloved
We know we never Can see again!
Then, Mary. when with hasty gaze
I saw thine eye bewildered roam,
For the last time. o'er Yarrow'ebraes;
And thy dear kinsman's happy Boone !
I felt a pang—it was not grief,
But something language never bore,
Fiono which the soul found no relief—
Child of a darkling world before!
A lightning Bash, a lurid gleam
O'er billows of a &Agorae sea;
A momentary feverish dream
Of time and of eternity !
Woe to the guileful tongue that bred
This disappointment and this pain--
Cold•hearted'villain ! on Ms head
A poet's malison remain!
Now thou halt left the forest tlade
By sorrows deep to thee endeared,
Where more beloved was never. maid,
Nor mai.len's feelings more revered !
•
And O, may blessings thee abide.
Delights unbounded and untold,
Where Indus rolls his sluggish tide
O'er glowing gems and sands of gold ! •
And Indian oceans waft the breeze
Of renovated health to thee;
And odours of Arabia please
Thy every sense from bower and tree!
• And long as beats this kindred heart
• My love shall be as it loath been—
There shalt thou occupy thy part.
Though half the world lie us between !

LAW INTELLIGENCL

COURT' OF EXCHICQUIt*, Nov. 12.
FANIIHAWE V. BRITTON.
The LORD CHIEF BARON gave judgment in this
cause this morning. It was a question of tithes, brought
by the Vicar of Dagenham, in guest, against one of
his parishioners, and included the tithes upon vegetables,
milk, and lambs. The truth of the case was (said his
Lordship) that the tithes were not objected to, but only
the mode of taking them, and both part es seemed to
have acted in a spirit the very reverse of what it ought
to be, for they might have agreed between themselves,
and thereby have saved much expense. Respecting the
tithes on garden stuff, his Lordship would leave to the
itla•ter to ascertain their value, and would, on the pro-
duction of the Master's report, decide as to the costs on
this pat of the case. Neither party could be ezeused,
for in no case had less of conciliation been shown than
in this. His Lordship then adverted to the different
points in Vre case, and decreed in favour of the plaintif.
c inclusion, his Lordship added, he hoped these deco-
siont would settle all (We/ekes between the parties.
• Mr. CLARICE—I was unwilling to interrupt )our
• Lordship, but they are all settled, and it is now agreed
as to what shall be paid in lieu of tithes for the future.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WILSTNIXSTIR, Nov. 12.
Mr. CD INION 81IROEANT applied to the Court for a
rule. to show cause why a criminal information should
'Doi be filed against the proprietors and publisher of the
Times newspaper, for a libel published in that Jrurnal,
Tea eting on the chat acter of an attorney, and officer of
this Cou: t. It appeared from the Learned Gentleman's
.*
statement, that a Mr. Brooks, the Gentleman for whom
ate appeared was engaged as agent
.for Sir Charles
.r and Mr. Tudway„_ the soccessful candidates
'at the lati election for the town of Wells, and during
• that election, ,which was spiritedly contested by Mr.
L'llis` and another, a letter was written by a Ma-
gatrate, and father of one of the Opposition can-
didates, offering a.bribe to a Mr. Lovell if he would
• rocure (or trim a Government situation, equal in emu.lumen/ to a Barrackmastership, if he voted for his
lon. This tender of a bribe being communicated to
Sir Charles Taylor, he instructed his agent to institute
'a prosecution at the nest Assizes fur Wells, which he
accordingly did, and applied to Lovell to attend before
the Grand Jury For t) e purpose of procuring a bill of
indictment ;shut this Piaell, from some cause or other.,
deelined appearing, notwAstanding he was repeatedly
'urgei to do so by Sir C. Taylor, for whom he always
;anted. On the day of the Assizes he was not to be found,
undthe proceedings failed for want of evidence. Some
shirrs time after this, a paragraph appeared in the
• C vote Paper, which he (the Learned Sergeant) vould
designate an innocent libel, and with that feeling no
notite was taken of it by Mr. Brooks. Ii went oh to
say, that the conduct df the Agent for the socCessful
candidates, being of a questionable nature, an investiga-
tion was about to be instituted; this, so far from displeas-
