And must I so soon leave the spot,

With happiness, health. and a cot.

No more. ha these rounds shall I moire,

• Ah, yes! I must now say farewell
And depart from the ti tends whom rve lor'd;

To whom all its 'rotaries bJw !

But memory points to my mind,
Those parent+ who wait my return ;
A mintier so anxiously kind, •
Each wish of my heart to tlfseern! '
Then let no regret be expresed,
Since filial duty remains, •
Its power au exile contested,
E'en a prodigal son it reclaims !
that thought has inspir'd my heart,
Sweet gratitude glows in my breast;

The law from Mount Sinai has blest ! a. Q.

From the last American Papers k appears that the
weather still continued uncommonly cold. In June,
a variety of birds, among which are the humming-
bird, the martin, and the beautiful scarkt sparrow,
were so benumbed as to be taken by the hand ; and
great numbers had actually perished with cold.
A dreadful fire happened at Raleigh, in America,
on the 12th ult. upwards of 50 buildings, comprising
dwelling houses, store houses, &c. were consumed.—
The whole lou is estimated at one hundred thousand
dollart It was supposed that the conflagration was
the work of some incendiary.
Seventeen dwelling houses were entirely consumed
by the fire at Stoborough, lately mentioned, and the
number of families who are thus deprived of a home
amount to eighteen, and of individuals to 57. The
total lobs of property, exclusive of the amount insured,
is about 4600.

At about twelve o'clock on Sunday night, a
sre broke
,out in the lower part nt a small Coffee-
house, kept by H..Hustss, No. 11, Barleigh-street,
Strand, which caused much avirm in the neighbour.
hooi, the persons who occupied the lower part being
fromu home, and the street-door double locked, of

which they had the key, the persons who occupied
the upper part could not gel out, and those on the
outside could not gain admittance. The first floor
windows were crowded with men, women, and chil-
dren, enveloped in smoke, and crying out for help ;
among whom was one poor woman, uho had been
brought to bed the preceding day ; others were busy
in throwing out beds and other articles of furniture
into the -ses eet. At length two laddeis were procured,
and they were all safely rescued from their periber
situation. , Several engines arrived, and two firemen
with pick-axes, with much difficulty broke the door
to pieces and gained admittance. Fortunately, the
fire was got undyr without doing further damage
than what the lower part of the house sustained. It
is supposed the fire originated from a spark flying
from some wood that was in the grate.
Friday night the wife of a journeyman smith, of
Devises. named Weld► n. was burnt to death. It is
supposed, that having fallen to sleep, her clothes came
in contact with the candle. She has left four young
children. The poor man, her husband, in endeavour-
ing to extinguish the flames, has burnt both his hands
in se dreadful a manner as is supposed will render
him incapable of working for a long time.
A serious accident betel Mr. W. Cheesmin, of
Southsea Mill, Portsmouth, on Wednesday evening.
A sudden gust of wind caused the mill to run under'
die breach, when in attempting to stop her, his left
hand was caught between the wheels, and lacerated
it in such a dreadful manger as to cause immediate
amputation above the wrist.
Yesterday morning as a coach and horses were
passing along the Strand, with another coach fastened
to it, a fine boy, ten years old, of the name of Mash,
got upon the pule of the latter, from which lie fell,
and the wheels went over his body.—He was taken
to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but no hopes are en-
tertained of hils recovery.
A melancholy accident occurred on Saturday eve-
ning, at the corner of Orchard-street, in Oxfotd-
street. A fine girl, about ten years of age, daugh-
ter of Mr. &mum, an upholsterer, in Oxford-
vreet, amusing herself with other children in a cart,
the back, or tail board being unfastened, the poor
little victim unfortunately pressing against it, was
precipitated head foremost, and (shocking to relate !)
killed on the spot. The feelings of those who wit-
nessed the catastrophe were such as would be difficult
to describe.

A Jew, of the name of BREDEMIANN, died lately
at Pest, who has left property of eight millions of
florins, which he acquired chiefly by contracts twenty
years ago ; lie went from house to house with

day Da Berry, sen. Jon. AM Mao.
and Meow Bred, were pined the bar. for the first
time and publicly examined, chard as porticipst tri-
m:Ws in high treason, by coining base money, to re-
, semble the coin of the eealm, and with conspiring to.
procure the conviction of innocent men for a like
offence. At the former examinations of these persons,
which edrite of a private nature, they entered into full
voluntartronfessions of their guilt. without however
receiving from the Lord Mayor any promise demi),
from the law, or *any compromise whatever.
The only evidence produced on the present oceas
sion was that of a man pima Langan. an Irishman.'
from whom the prisoners Pelham and -the younger
Barry had taken an empty room, and -a publican of
the name of Collins, who deposed to the parties oc-
casionally meeting at his house.
The Loup MAYOR observed to the prisoners, that,
aldiougli he was furnished with sufficient evidence of
their guilty practices to remand them, there was still
a necessary link wanted, of which he would take time
to consider before he finally committed them for
trial. His Lordship took this occasion also to to.
mark, that certain Insinuations had gone abroad, and
had been widely disseminated in the Public Papers,
twat some or all of the prisoners were Police Officeri
of the City. This idea was the more generally cre-
dited, in consequence of a statement being made that
the regular Police Officers received a salary of hot
three shillings per day. Both of these circumstances"'
however, were equally unfounded, not one of the 0.1
loners. being connected with the Police Establish.'
ment of the. City as sworn Officers. he salary of
the regular Officers also was such as to afford them
sufficient means to keep them from resorting to such
infamous practices as those to which the prisoners
had. recourse. The prisoners were then remanded
for a-week.

Bovv-wrawr.—Yesterday Mr. NAUSS attended at
the Office, and proceeded with the investigation of
the case of dirciidald Ruthex.late a patrole. Nothing
farther appeared against him besides what has al-
ready been stated upon the subject. His defenCe or
reason for not apprehending Hubbard, alias Herbert,
was, that be bad informed him, or put him up to the
robbery. He was'remanded for a further investh
gatiott.

SURREY S.ESSIONS, GUILDHALL.

THE REV. ROWLAND Hilt: CHAPEL ORDERED

TO BE RATED.

FARQUHARSON V. THE PARISH lIF CHRIST CHURCH.

The Sessions for the County of Stirrey commenced
at Guildford on Wednesday last, when the important
question relative to the liability of the Rev. Rowland
Hill, as Trustee, or JAITICS Wsbber, Esq. as Trea-
surer, of the Surrey Chapel, to be assessed to the
poor rates, was determined. The cause was called
on about ten, when Mr. Farquharson appeired to
substantiate his appeal in person. Preliminary ob-
jections taken to the notices served in the cause, by
Messrs. NOLAN and SPANKM employed as C.,unsel
on the other side, were over-ruled. Mr. Farquhar-
son's witnesses proved that the receipts for letting
pews amounted to £lOl, etclosive of the half yearly
collections, averaging AIM These sums were paid
to Mr. Webber, as Treasurer, but there was no evi-
dence to prove Mr. Hill a Trustee, or that he re-
ceived any part of the money.
Mr. LAwas and Mr. NOLAN spoke to evidence on
the part of the Respondents.
The Cower were of opinion, that the appeal against
the Rev. Rowland Hill ought to be dismissed with
the usual costs of 40s. but with respect to Mr. Web-
ber, as Treasurer, that the Appellant had made
good; his appeal, and that the rate ought to be amen-
ded by introducing the name of Mr. Webber, as the
person liable to be rated ; that the sum for which he
should be rated for the chapel should, deducting £25,
the Steward's salary, be 001 ; and that the parish
should pay the Appellant the usual costs.
Mr. Nos.au applied foe a special case for the con-
sideration of the Court of King's Bench ; but his
Lordship and the other Magistrates were of opinion
there was no ground for grantinglim one.

At the Quarter Sessions for the County of Hun-
tingdon, held last Tuesday, /awake; Travel], land-
lady of Brampton-but public-house, was indicted for
a misdemeanour, in Inhumanly refusing admittance,
a few weeks beck, to a poor fellow in his last mo-
ments, who had just received his death-injury by
being crushed between his waggon and a bridge near
her residence. The master of the deceased was pro.
secutor. The partiis were permitted to go out of
Court and settle the business. The sum paid by
Mrs. Travell for the benefit of the family of the de-
ceased is understood to be about £25. It is likewise
said that the Magistrates mean to take away her
licence.

At the Sessions for the City and Liberty of Peter-
borough, held on Wednesday, Beal and Mary
Gimlets pleaded guilty to an indictment for uttering
forged notes, purporting to be of the Bank of Eng•
land, and were severally sentenced to fourteen years
transportation.
At the Norfolk Sessions, four • prisoners, aimed
J6kn .ilbery, James Bailey the elder, Peter Palmer the
elder, and Parr Palmer the younger, were indicted for
having, together with other persons, to the number of
HA riotously assembled in the parish of Hoc khans,
on the 19th of May last, and destroyed a thrashing.
machine, the property of William Burlingham.—
They were found guilty, and sentenced, Abery and
Bailey to one Year, and the two Palterers to three
months' imprisonment.
We regret to state, that a spirit of Luddism has be-
gun to manifest itself in the southern as well as the
north parts of Leicestershire. A frame-work-knitter's
shop at Great Wigston, occupied by Ebenezer Dea-
kin, was feloniously entered on Monday se'nnight,
and several frame and machine-presses stolen there-
from. A corporal and four men belonging to the
15th Dragoons are stationed in the county gaol every
night, as, we suppose, a ptecaution against any at-
tempt which may be made to rescue the men confined
there on a charge of frame-breaking.
Friday an empty waggon, drawn by wmem passed,
through Shrewsbury, on ats return towards Welling-
ton. The women were stated to be the wives of
'same colliers now out of week, and they said they had
sold theireoals at ErcalL
