TO THE

Fare thee well, thou dull Alarmier,
With thy vapours dank and low'r ;
Often bath the nervous system
Bow'd beneath thy gloomy power.
Oft thy agents have I heard them
Raving thro' the forest wild;
And when' bowling round our derellings,
Frighten'd many a timid child.
Innocence itself bath trembled
'Reath thy dark despotic reign;
And the veterans lass bath often
Been applied to cheer in vain;
England's bulwarks fly before thee,
To destruction they are buri'd;
And thy power of devastation
Shows itself o'er half the world !
Beard ye not that crash astounding,
Buildings yonder prostrate lie
Tow'rs and castles, churches, steeples.
All their strength thou dost defy.
And behold, see yonder slowly
Move the melancholy band ;
To conduct to distant church•yard

Him who fell by his own hied.
'Twat thy pow'r malignant used ft,
BIN the victim's soul with cue;
•
Gloomy thoughts and sad forebodings
Overwhelm'd him with despair.
Fare thee well, then, dull November,

. _
Brighter scenes we have in store ;
Christmas gambols soon shall cheer• as,
And thy gloom be felt no more.

had a right to some property, and after consulting
the plaintiff in his professional capacity, they pro.
posed that he should undertake their cause, no pur-
chase no pay. He refused, however, to undertake it on
thee conditions, but agreed to do so, if he was paid
the costs out I f pocket, as the proceedings went on, and
Was remunerated for his trouble, in the event of a suc-
cessful issue. This being agreed on, the plaintiff began

to C nose), in order to bring the case to trial. The
case, however, had never been tried, and the expectants
were as far from getting this property as ever. It was
quite clear that the plaintiff could not have paid the
fees to Counsel, which was the purpose for which he
had obtained it, and be was not, therefore, entitled to
the amount.
Witnesses having been examined in stloport of this
.case, Lind TENTERDSPI suggested to Mr. Thessiger, the
plaintiff's Counsel, that he should not press the case
further, as it was clear the plaintiff had acted impto-•
perly in serving so many ejectments, when one would
have tried the right of the claima, ts.
Mr. Tummy'', however; thought it his duty to reply,
and the Jury, without hesitation, rctutncd a verdict for
