RELIGION.

Soft are the fruitful flowers that bring
The welcome promise of the Spring,
And soft the vernal gale :
Sweet the wild warbling. of the grove,
The coke of Nature and of Love,
That gladdens every vale!

But softer in the mourner's ear
Sounds the mild voice of mercy near
That whispers sins forgiven ;
And sweeter far the music Dwells
When to the raptur'd soul she tells
Of peace and promised Heaven !
Fair are the flowers that deck the ground,
And groves and gardens blooming round,
Unnumbet'd charms unfold;
Bright is the Sun's meridian ray,
And bright the beams of setting day,
That robe the clouds in gold !
But far more fair the pious breast,
In richer robes of goodness drest,
Where Heaven's ow■ graces shine,
And brighter far the prospects rise
That burst on Faith's delighted eye%
From glories all divine!

All earthly charms, however dear,
Howeer they please the eye or ear,
Will quickly fade and fly ;
Of earthly gluey faint the blase,
And soon the transitory rays
In endless darkness die.
The nobler beauties of the just
Shall never moulder in the dust
Or know a sad decay ;
Their honours time and death defy,
And round the throne of Ileaven-on high
Beam everlasting day !

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Jura 25.
LEWIS U. LORD ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOUCH AND ROSE.
• Mr. SUDDEN applied for an injunction to restrain Mr.
Rose horn paying over to Lord Ashby-de-la-Zouch the
Surplus of the rents of certain estates to which he had
been appointed receiver. The bill likewise prayed that
his Lordship might be restrained from receiving such
rents; and that Rose might either be directed to pay
them into Court, or to the plaintiff, who was a
judgment creditor cf his Lordship's to the amount
of fifteen hundred pounds. It appeared that Rose was
appointed a receiver of the tents of certain estates by
this Court, for the purpose of discharging the incum-
brances on them ; and that the rents are found more
than sufficient for that purpose. Mr.Sugden, therefore,
contended that the overplus ought to be.paid to the
plaintiff, in satisfaction of his debt against his Lordship.
To this bill the defendants demarred,•on the ground
that there were other creditors in the same situation as
the plaintiff, and therefore a Court of Equity would not
give him a preference.
The VICE CHANCELLOR said he would overrule the
demurrer, and order the money to be paid into Court,
to abide the result of future proceedings.

knowing what would be the effect of affirming the sen-
tence, he should wait till some inquiry could be made
on the subject.
