MORNING.
1-la3 to the ro .y Mom's enliv'ning hour,
When sparkling dewdrops gliiter on the thorn,
And stud with diamonds eiry opening flower,
That spreads his beauties t& the splendid Morn!
Resplendent Maims gilds the blushing east ;
Sheds his warm influence o'er the dewy ground ;
Fran night's dull slumbers wakens man stud beast,
And breathes celestial odours all around.
Luxuriant landscapes catch the gladdened eye,
The fertile valley and the aspiring hill ;
Before the sun the misty vapours fly,
The swallow skims it o'er the babbling rill.

}Ugh o'er the earth the brk melodions-riogs,
Warbles his praises to the God of day,
Swift to the cloudless sly his course he wings,
And from the busy world flies far assay.
Let me to view this joy-inspiring scene,
Climb to the summit of the highest bill,
Wkh eye delighted and with mind serene,
I.st sacred Gratitude my bosom I.
To that great Gen who o'er this fertile earth,
Scatters such beauties for the use of man;
Who pee to herb, to fruit, to flower, its birth,
To-yield us pleasure in life's transient span !

LAW INTF.LLIGENCE.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, NOV. 27.
LAW IS v. ITRGAN.
•
It will be recollected by our Readers, that this long
and litigated suite was, by mutual consent, commit-
ted= for final adjustment to the arbitration of Mr.
Come.
This day, however, as the Chief Barons were ascen-
ding the Bench, they were addressed by Sir Watkin
Lewis, in profrria persotta. He began his address by
dr.-.wing a general outline of his law:suit, strongly
sprinkling it as be passed along by his own feelings.
fle lamented the-deplorable situation of the rich mines
contained in his inheritance; the machinery and im-
plements were mouldering to dust, and the richness
of the land hoarded without any person having the
power to make them beneficial to mankind. He was
far advanced in life himself, and had sustained the
miseries of confinement for four years and a half.
He always saw a readiness in the Court to accelerate
his suit, and he was convinced that the late advice
given
.by the Honourable Bench; of transmitting
his plejk solely to arbitration, was through a sincere
regard to his future comfort and re-instatement in
his property. He had with great deliberatiOn pon-
dered en that step, and he considered it as injudici-
ous. The most reasonable and expeditious mode sug-
gested to his mind
,was, to order an account of the
rrocceds of his estate to be taken by the Master, in '
which, when laid before their Lordships, they would
see what an immense overplus beloaged to hitt.
The Lord Chief Baron MACDONALD replied,'that
the Court had submitted to much irregularity in
the consideration of the cause. The necessities of
his condition had solicited them to be irregular, to
hasten the decision of his suit. But the present apt
plication was an irregularity . utterly out, of the
power of the Court to comply with,-had they ever I
so-great-an inclination; and whoever had Counselled
him to make such application, had caused him to
atop the progress of his true interest." Allow the att.
bitrator only 'to proceed," continued the Chief Baron;
" and I will pledge my soul to you, SirWatkin, that in
all human probability by the next Term you will lie in
posress'on of your estate ; you are now endeavouring
to undo the happiest circumstances of your old days,
and over airelming yourself with ruin ; were you my
brother, were you my father, I could not counsel you a
nearer path to your inheritance than by arbitration." /
Sir Watkin Lets is persisted in his resolution of
withdrawing his consent to the arbitration.
The Lord Chief BARON again counselled him from'
so hasty and injudicious a measure, he would again
cast all his affairs before the tribunal of justice, kind
haye to wade through the whole papers of the plea
from its commencement ; instead of being relieved
from his embarrasments he was involving himself
deeper, and proceeding in his career of ruin, without
hearkening to wholesome Ontinsal.
The plaintiff still persevered in his resolution to set
aside the reference.
The Loan CHILI BARON finding all dissuasion un-
availing, told him he had ceased to merit commisera-
tion from the Court on his melancholy case. He might
expect no inclination to assist him, though the most
strict and inviolable justice would be administered to
him, but he was potting the period of his deliverance
far off with his ownhands,and would in all probability
be c'nfini:d many years more by his infatuated
perseverance.
• The further consideration of this long litigated
case will most likely come on next Term.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 25.
VaLLIASIS V. EVERETT. •
Lord Et LrxRAROUGn delivered the judgmentof the
Cottrt in this case, which was an action for money
had and received. The Plaintiff had been nonsuited,
and he afterwards moved the Court to have the non-,
suit.set aside. The circumstances of the case were
these :—A person of the name • of Kelly, who was
abroad, had a variety of creditors in this country, to
whom he owed different sums, and amongst the rest
he was indebted to the Plaintiff. In this situation he
wrote to Messrs. Everett :old Co. inclosing Bills to
the amount of £llOO, -which,, in his letter, he says!
he will be obliged to the Defendant to pay to the per-
sons therein named, in the proportions mentioned,
specifying among others a sum of £43OX) to the Plain-
tiff. The Attorney for the Plaintiff, the moment he
w.is informed of this circumstance, gave noiice to the
Defendant, offering at the same tirre to indemnify I
him, if he would then pay over the Bill to the Plain.
tiff. 'Phis, however, the Defendant refused to do,
declaring that he did not assent to the holding of the j
bills. on the terms specified in Kelly's letter ' and be-
fore the bills became due, they were attached. in the
Defendant's hands. The question for the considera-
tion of the Court, therefore, and on which the Plain-
tiff moved to have a nonsuit entered, was,. if the De,
iendsnt by retaining the bills did not accede to the
conditions on which he received them and if, by the
operation cf ltw, the Op desired lir Kelly to be Raid
t i the Plaintiff, did not immediately become money
bad and received to the Plaintiff's use.
To establish this point, however, 'the defendant
