POETRY.

WRITTEN ON MY MOTHER'S GRAVE.
. . By CHASMS SWAIN. ESQ.
0, Spirit of my Mother! if that thou
May'st hear me, from this dark and desert place;
If, through the dim immensity of space,
Thine eye might gaze upon my sadden'd brow;
If in thy sainted sphere thou lov'st me now,
„Pour down the freshness of thy spirit's light
Upon my lonely head: bid Virtue's might
The quiet tenor of my day's endow.
That when my Summer breath of time is o'er,
When lost upon Death's shore is Life's last wave,
I may, from the damp silence of the grave,
Spring to tby blessed arms, to part no more.
And ah! until that home of bliss be won,
Look down, my Mother, bless, oh bless thy Son!

fact and in public opinion, that it cannot depend' on the
caprices of politics, and that even differences arising
among the intervening Powers can have no influence un
it, the Courtier concludes thus :
si In this state of things, the noblest part offers itself
to the Sultan—namely, that of protecting the revolu•
tion, which, influenced by prejudices to which he is now
superior, he hitherto th:sught it advisable to subdue
As soon as he consents to this all difficulties vanish ;
peace and tranquillity are restored to the empire; com-
merce revives ; the new system developessitself without
obstacle, and the Greek revolution loses at ,once the
character of confusion and disorder. It is only an im-
provement, prosecuted under the eye of a Sovereign
who is eleiated enough to pardon offences, and gene-
rous enonph to avenge himself by a benefit. All the
friends of the Porte will give k the same advice *nit
the Persian poet Sadi gave to the Kings, in the follow-
ing verse Be merciful—learn to conquer without
armies—reign over the hearts of mortals—and then you
will have subdued the world.' "—FronifortJour.June 6.

LONDON SESSIONS, APRIL 19.

Alerandei &man was indicted for assaulting John
Challener. This was a City prosecutior, and the Cors-
air:ow SgaGaANT stated, that several auction rooms had
been opened, and one of them in Cheapside„ which were
ger.eri-lly called " Mock Auctions," and which goods
were sold of an extremely questionable de,cription.. The
Gentlemen of the Ward of Cheap knowing that an ex-
posure of such practices might have a good effect on
the credulous part of society, engaged Challener to walk
backwards and forwards with a placard (Beware of
Mock Auctions) before the auction room of the de.
fendant, who toi.k umbrage at the proceeding, goes-
'tinned Challener as to who had employed him, and
ultimately a,sattlted him by throwing two hands full of
mud in his face.

My. Arint.rava- made a powerful appeal to the Jury
against the legality of employiag A man to parade before
a mane; hinise with a placard, for. the purpose of in-1
luring him and inciting him to a breach of the peace.'
Suppose an Alderman were an auctioneer. and a Person
were to yataJe b. fore his house with a placard,eshibitimg
Beware of mock auctions" (loud laughter, in which
Mr. Alderman Farebrother, an auctioneer, who was on
the Bench, joined, and stated that, in such Case, he should
certainly indict the man.) Yes (continued Mr. A.) the
Alderman has properly said that he would have indicted,
him, and so would any one; but my client took a milder
course, and only attempted to obliterate the libel by
mud, a part of which, by accident, reached his nose--'
(Liughtet). It is usually said that a man who-insults
'others should soap his nose before he went out; but it
would be reversed in this case, as the defendant would
have to soap it afterwards, and remove the injury.
The RECORDER obsersei, in-summing up, that it cer-
tainly was a libel, but the defendant had another remedy.
The Jury convicted the defendant, who was fined 10s.

POLICE DITELLIGENCE.

M A 11LBOROUG 11—ST R ERT.
Saturday, Mr. Fores, of Piccadilly, came to this Office with ig
Act of Parliament in his hand, by which he con'idered the
trates were deprived of the power of issuing a distraint warrant fur
church rates, as w.A intimated would be the case on the precedint
day, on Mr. Clerk's, of °Mord-street, refusal to pay the church
rite to the pada% officers of St. James's.
The Act alltalc:d lo is the 53d Geo. 111. sec. 7. which directs this
'nn distraint. shall be made, where the party objecting to the rata
shall give notice of appeal, until after such appeal has been heard
and decided at the Quarter" Sessions.
Mr. Pores was of opinion that this section was decidedly ill
favour of Mr. Clark and the other parishioners reusing to pay
the rate.
However, it appeared that Mr. Fixes had only looked at Gov
portion of the Act, and was ignorant of certain etceptiods towards
its conclusion.
A Gentkman in the Office pointed out to Mr. Fore' the words
'4 except in such parish or parishes which possess any local or
parochial Act to the contrary." .
The pari.h of St. James having its own Act, 1 James li.givins
particular authority as to the raising of these rates, and no subseglient
Act having interfered or repealed it, Air. Fores was convinced of
his error,And left the Office without making his intended application
to the sitting Magistrate.

On Saturday, Mr. John Nee*, of Chapel-street, Tottenham•eoerir
road, and his Wife, were charged before the Magistrates of
chit
Office with a novel offence. It appeared that Henry Gould, a
clerk in the house of llatikey and Co. hankers, on Saturday morn.
fug, went to the house of Mr. Keen, and presented a VII for pap
ment drawn upon Keen, and Mrs. Keen got possession of it snit
burnt it. He gave her into the custody of an officer, and she said
that the bill had been iibtained from her husband fraudulently; that
no value had been received for it, and that it was by the ditection
of het' lawihand'. he had destroyed the bin. In the course of tle
day dlr. Keen was apprehended. and he admitted to the AL.gis.
trate:that be told his wife to burn the hill, for the mastitis she had
stated, The defendants were remanded till the drawer of the bill
should attend.
A smart young woman, in black, who is likely soon to become a
mother, applied for a warrant to apprehend Mr. of
street, -- square.
" For what?" said Mr. (Hoskins.
• Breach of promise of marriage, and seduction, your Worship.*
Mr. Hosems—They arc mater: which I have nothing to do
with.

volume from his pocket).
Mr. Commissioner Hennts—Show the witness the
book which is usually used, and convince him that it
contains the five books •1 Moses ; and then let' him
refuse at his peril.
Mr. Solomon. was then sworn, but put on his hat, as
usual with persons of his persuasion.
Mr. HRATII--It is usual for persons of the Jewish
faith to sa ear covered ?
Mr. S..lomons, directing his finger to the forensic
wigs—" My head is covered." (Roars of laughter.)
Mr. HEATH suggested that, to avoid mental reser-
vation, it would be better to allow the witness to be
sworn on his own Bible.
The COURT allowed the witness to be sworn pursuant
to h.s original request.
The witness then stated that he is the Secretary to
the Jewish Burial Ground, at an annual salary of 201:
for the payment of which the insolvent and another
4, Solomon" were conjointly responsible.
Satiate! Abrahams produced the proceedings in an:
action, 0, Solomon.v. Hy ams," when upon investigation,
it turned ma that the bill of exchange, which gave vs:.
to the present upposition.was not due until the 15th May.
The Cowry hereupon held, that the opposing creditor
was ex curia, and the insolvent was discharged.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, APRIL 19.

This morning the Court sat, pursuant to adjournment,
and in the absence of the worthy Chairman,. F. Coss;
Esq. Mr. MAntitoT pre.ided.
John (Grey, a She.iff's officer, and George Street, his
assistant,•were indicted for committing an outrageous'
assault on Bnn&f and Patterson, two Bow-street officers.
On the 14th of November,about twelve o'clock at night,
the pro.ecutors were on duty at, Drury-lane Theatre,
in •keeping clear one of the avenues leading thereto,
when the defendants came up to them, and without
any provocation they struck Bond, and threw Pat!
terton with great violence under the fret of the horses
of a hackney-coach. Atter a severe scuffle, in which
the defendants made a violent resistance, they were
ovirpoWered and carried to the watchhouse. On arriving
dime, they assaulted the night constable, and other per-
lens on duty, and pat out the lights, but were finally
consigned to the black-hole.--The Jury found them
both Guilty; and the Court sentenced Grey to three
months. and Street to two months imprisonment.
:Grey exclaimed, " I would rather you hat' sentenced
Me to be' hanged--I have a wife and sit children sat
home, and she was lying on a sick bed when I lest

troops from the Morea have proved fruitless, and he
ippears entirely devoted to the Porte. It was reported
at Corfu that proposals bad been made by a European
Power to the Viceroy to declare himself independent,
in which case that Power would immediately recognise
him. Mehemet Ali is stated, however, to have rejected
this proposal with indignation, and to have order. d
several men of war to be fitted out to support Ibrahim
Pacha, and in case of need to take him on board. In
tact, three ships of war and twenty transports sailed
from Alexandria in the middle of February, but were
dispersed in a violent storm, and gradually collected
again on the coast of Candia. Ibrahim Pacha must
already be informed of the intentions of his father, and
also fear other forces than those of the Greeks—for be
is drawing together all his troops from the interior of
the Morea, and assembling them between Modon and
Navarin. Soliman Bey, who has latterly occupied
Tripolizsa, has received orders to destroy the fortifica-
tions of that place, and then join the army near Modon.
This universally hated renegado is said to have already
arrived at Modon with his corps. Several Commissioner's
of Ibrahim Pacha are making perchasei of floor and
corn in the lonian Islands; this market l said to have
been but lately opened to the Egyptian*, and must be
very welcome to them on account of its vicinity, as the
want of provisions was very severely felt in the winter
in the Morea, and in the Islands and Continent of
Greece. The Greeks, or rather General Church, are
said likewise to avail themselves of this permission. He
is still at Dragomestre, but heed pressed by Redachid
Pacha, and may perhaps be oblige 4 to quit his position.

siderable reinforcements, which are far superior to the

being of opinion that inquiries similar to those in which you were
engaged in the year 1865, respecting the Supply of Corn from fo-

Which you had not an opportunity at that time to visit, their Lord-,
ships desire to avail themselves of your services for that purpose.
The countries to which their Lordships have reference are those
situated on the German Ocean from Holland north-eastward, and
that portion of Germany bordering on the Baltic to the westward
of the present boundary of his Prussian Majesty's dominions.
You will thereto. e be pleased to proceed to the Continent with
as much expedition as you can make convenient; and, on your re-
turn, you will make a report of your proceedings to this Board,
reducing the weights, measures, and moneys of the several accounts
from foreign into English legal denominations.
In order to put you in possession of their Lordships wishes as
to the objects of inquiry, and the mode of discharging your duty,
it is nources.ary for me to do more than to refer you to the letter
which, by their Lordships directions, I addressed to you on the

matter of course, becomes their exclusive property. All Om pri-
soners were woefully intoxicated. It appeared in evidence that
they were employed cleaning out the ballast •froin the Betzter,into
Ithe Trinity lighters, and In the course of that impluy received
refreshments of every kind which they required, or was necessary
for them. They, however, thought proper to examine the Captaind
stores, and in the course of their investigation over battled a tads
containing some dozens of fine claret. This they forthwith ripened,
and in less than an hour drank nearly two dozers and a half.: • The
wine bad a contrary to its usual effect upon them, and madatinen
all so drunk that they tumbled amongst the ballast like as many
pigs, in which state they were discovered by the,officers or the
ship, who won found out what had happened-, by seeing a heap of
trackless bottles. The prisoners did not tale the trouble tO•draw
the corks, but severed the neck of etch bottle. Ihey were IMMIP•
diately given into custody. •
Lou Lynch, not being qUite as drunk as the rest,isecame spokes.
=an on the occasion. " ?lase your honour," said he, "we wanted
a hit of a confer; and We drinked the wine sure enough, nut thinking
harm to any body."
Brady roared B— and nuns, your Honour. sure its SO
harm to.drink what a body finds; we found the wine, and ses
•
drank it sure emugh."
For which, fhplied 31r.BRODERIP, you must in person suffer.

rejoined hi a sorrowful tour. •
Mr. titootanr informed him that the punishment fur this rob-
bery must be elsewhere determined.
"Will yon take bail ?".bellowed out a third of the drunken culprits.
The Magistrate Informed him that bail could not be taken, and
they were in committed.

SIR GEORGE MURRAY:

At the dinner given on Tuesday se'nnight, in come.
Treace of the re-election of Sir Grouse MURRAY for Perthshire,
Sir Jolts Ortearz being toasted, and having returned thanks, pro-
ceeded to say that he knew that, during their campaigns, no advice
was held of such crime, by the Duke of Wettmurros, as that of
Sir Gioacta. He knew his value and remembered k ; and it
was but natural that the Premier should be anxious for the
benefit of that decision and firmness in the Cabinet which he
so muck depended on in the field. He recollected an anec-
dote told him by a General who fought and bled under the
Duke at Waterloo. That Officer happened to be appointed to a
post which, in the course of movements, became one of peculiar
difficulty. The Officer waited on the Duke for advice. The Duke
paced the apartment apparently in hesitation, though not perplexed,
and, after ruminating a little, repeatedly uttered, " I wish GZOkOZ
NIURRAT were here." The Duke has now got this valuable assist-
ance in another capacity, and he (Sir Join+) was confident and
happy to think that he would be a means of preserving and pro-
moting this country in that pre-eminence, which be bad been fear-
ful was in danger from the theorists who lately directed her court-
cils.—Caiedonisos Mercury.

WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL.

-
The proposed removal of the Westminster Hospital
to a site opposite the banking-house of Coats and Co. in the Strad,
is regarded by the public as a very odd proposal. Defying, as it
does, all ordinary modes of explanation, we scarcely know In what
light to comicier it.
In a charitable point of view, it appears to be a transfer from
where it is very necessary to where it Is not—from amongst its
zealous friends to where it will find less supporters—and from an
atmosphere less impure than that where it is thought desirable to
place it.
In a political point of view, it seems very injudicious, and cal-
culated to give very serious umbrage to those benevolent persons
who bestowed their donations far rebuilding it in the lower parts
of Westminster, where It is well known the greatest mass of dis-
tress exists—contravening the intentions of those who established,
and those who supported it, for the sick poor of those parts ; and
placing a large Institution in a situation no less hurtful to itself than
prejudicial to the property by which it will be surrounded.

THE ARMY.

The 61st Regitretont will embark at Gravesend in a few days for
Ceylon, to relieve the 16th Foot, ordered to India. The 72d Re-
giment embarks early in July for the Cape, to relieve the 49th,
going on to India.
6 Thursday the depot of the 42d Royal Highlanders, lying in Stir-
ling Castle, were reviewed by Sir It. W. O'CALLAGHAN, Com-
mander of the Forces for Scotland. The corps received the gal.
bat General on the esplanade,.who seemed highly gratified by the
clean neat appearance of Busmen. As the day was fine. the de•
liaehment of this distinguished Regiment looked remarkably well,
and the manner' in which they acquitted themselves drew forth
from the Reviewing General expressions of the highest satisfaction.
Fist.. HATS.—Yesterday morning. at half.past seven o'clock, the
First Battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards, commanded
by Colonel HAMSURT marched from Knightsbridge Barracks to
Hyde Park, where ;hey, had a field-day. The troops were put
through a variety of evolutions. all of which were executed with
great precision. During the firing by companies, Colonel HAM•
WILT'S charger suddenly startled, and threw his rider, whose right
leg was considerably injured ; however. after a abort interval, he
was sufficiently recovered to remount, and immediately left the
Park, before the termination of the movements. Sir Hiner Toe-
sans, the Adjutant-General, Colonel Townsom, the Command
Officer of the Grenadier Guards, and other Military Officers of
rank, were present. The Battalion quitted the field at half-past
eleven o'clock.
The Battalions of the First Regiment and Cold.tream Guards
this morning underwent a 'general inspection, preparatory to the
Grand Review on Friday next. The Troops went through a
variety of evolutions with skill and precision. and did not quit the
ground until eleven o'clock. A number of Military Officers of
rank attended the inspection.—The whole of tke Guards will be
reviewed on Friday by Prince Groans of CIMARSILLAND, the Duke
of Wzrzraions, ate. and a very splendid Field Day is expected.

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday Thomas Sullivan was charged with having stoke •
saddle, the property of Mr. Mahoney. a builder, in Wading.neft.
Mr. Alderman BROWN perceiving by their names that the prow
cutor and the prisoner were countrilnen, asked whether tbey wet
known to each other. _ _

Mr. Mahoney—" No, indeed—l, never saw the man until alwat
an hour ago, when I met with him within twenty yards of my wan
house with my saddle upon bis back. I knew the saddle in a nu,
ment, for its an old acquaintance of mine, so I said to Wm._
• Hallo, my man ! that's nip saddle—what business hive yffla with
it? and without more ads he flung the saddle at me, and ran away,
but I followed, crying, &op thief ! ' and I did not lose sight of
bins until he was caught."
The flight, the cry, and the catching, was proved by umber
witness, and the prosecutor added that the prisoner must have raw
through bis house, and have taken the saddle uut of the b.ck pre.
Woes.

Mr. Alderman BROVIII.—a What have you to say in reply to this
charge, Thomas Sullivan r
Thomas Sullivan—" A great dale, your Honour. I went into
Mr. Mahoney's primiziz this mornin to see for a job, and a maa
there said to me, will ye take this ould saddle over the water for
me,' says he,' to a Mr. Jenkins; says he, ' if ye know hula—
' Yes, I'll do that, and thank you kindly, says I. and"—
Mr. Alderman Banwar.—.“ Then you did not SiCtli it ?"
" Not a bit of ft. your Honour," replied Thomas Sullivan.
Mr. Alderman Botown—" Bus they say you did, and therefore
the case must go to trial. Take bins away."
6' Oh, had luck t'ye, Mr. Mahoney !" said Thomas Sullivan, as
be left the bar, " bad luck eye, to swear ye never lost sight of me,
for ye know ye didn't see me at all when I turned the comer of the
street se sharp upon ye !"

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.

Yesterday Phil Sampson took his benefit at the Tennis Cwt.
The attendance was pretty fair, but a considerable portion date
Fancy were, no doubt, prevented from coming on account.( the
►enefit dinner for Widow Randall having been fixed the same day.
, Sam Foote and Levi Latham—Sam is rather heavy, and long is
the reach for Levi ; but the latter made a good stand.
Hurt' Jones (his first appearance since his indisposition), and
Donovan—Harry's weakness wu very apparent.
Sprig of Shamrock and Young Brefar—&efar, as usual,
countered well, and made his advantage in length tell; bat the
Sprig showed himself a tough one. and a good judge.
Deaf Bourke and Bill Marsh. the New Gas, had a tremendas
mill. Gas slashed like a tiger, but he bad bushed to muck, and ma
wild to foolishness, consequently Bourke made the snot of it, and
clarified the Gas a little.

Carter and Belascoe excited some interest ; the latter's big paunch
lis ra er in the way, but his good sparring has not yet left him.
eshire Hero, and Brown the Northampton Baker, bad a warm
ut. Brown is far too light .for the elephant size of the Hero;
and, besides, he is in bad health, bat he lost none of the good opinioa
of the Fancy with the big one.
Dick Curtis and Barney Aaron made a beautiful set-to.
Bill Young, the Sun-yard Swell, and Ned Stockman—Young
found Ned his worth in good earnest. Ned got hold of Bill to
throw him a cross-buttock; but Ned feeling his mail a sturdy coe,
applied too much force—he gave Bill the fall, but at the same time
he pitched upon the crown of his own head ; his heels went quite
upright, and he rose not a little atupified, which made a finish.
Phil Sampson, and Oliver nude the wind-ap. Phil heartily
thanked his friends, and expressed his discontent that so many of
the pugilists bad absented themselves or refused to set-to. He
apolotized for Jem Ward not appearing, as his finger, which ins
hurt in his last light, still remains very bad.
Iu the course of the day, the Sprig of Shamrock challenged Harry
Alton, the Bath light champion, for £25 or £5O a-side.
Cheshire Hero challenged any 12 stone man for £2O. He wad
go £5 of his own, if Gentlemen would put down the resnainda.
Barney challenged any 9st. 191 b. man for £5O a-side.
Sampson informed Ned Neel,who appeared to challenge him, that
he could not accept it, as he meant never to fight again.

PEDESTRIANISM.

Monday evening Dan M'Carthy, the pugilist, undertook for a
bye wager of 51. to walk backwards two miles, in half an hour,
one mile out rnd one mile in.pAt $ o'clock precigely he started from
the Black Bull in St. John-street, and proceeded to tbe cue mile-
stone, through Islington Turnpike. This mile, notwithstandiig
the crowded state of St. John-street, at such an hour of the even-
ing, he accomplished In thirteen minutes and a half, and returned
to the Black Bull at twenty-eight minutes past eight, winning
cleverly by two minutes.
WRESTLING.

A match took place yesterday in the Wellington Cricket Ground.
Chelsea, between Phillip Gaffney and George Saunders, for 40 tom
The first nine successive rounds were in favour of Gaffney, wbo
threw Saunders with such force that he lay stunned for some time.
In a short time he recovered, and the match proceeded. At the
end of au hour and a half Saunders had such a heavy fall that
rendered him incapable of rising. or even of bring raised, without
danger. Fortunately a Medical Gentleman was on the ground, and
bled him copiously, which bad the effect of partially recovering
him ; all hopes of his renewing the match, 'however, had beet
abandoned, and he was carried into the house of Mr. Newman, and
put to led.

At the Court of King's Bench on Monday, Mr.
MILLER obtained a rule to show cause why the ow-
ceedings of the Inquisition of the New Brunswick
Theatre should not be quashed.
A very extraordinary legacy has lately been left by
the late Mr. George Tennant, carpenter,
green—viz. 201. a year, which is to be expended for
shaving a number of the poor. parishioners on a Satur-
day night, by two barbers in that parish. The intention
is to facilitate the attendance of the lower 'lass of
people at divine worship on a Sunday. of 13 titna.-
Saturday, George Spendiff, a post-boy in the empleT
of Mr. Wright, of the Crown Hotel, Rochester, having
returned from Dartford with a pair of horses, proceeded
to the river, near the mill at Strood, for the purpose of
washing them, when, venturing too far out, both horses
were by the strength of the current carried through the
bridge, and that on which he rode becoming exhausted
turned on its back, and is supposed in its struggles to
have kicked its rider, who sank almost immediately,
and the body has not yet been found. Both horses
were dragged ashore by some people in a boat, and
were saved.

CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Joes 25.

Loss or TMIL ASIA.—(From a Singapore Paper, dated Nov. 22,
11147):—" We regret to mention the loss of the Hamburgh ship
Asia, Captain Allen, which left this some weeks ago for )lanilla.
Having arrived there, she sailed again on the 24th of October for
China. She kit the bay of Manilla with a fair breeze, which con-
tinged to increase, until in a few hours it blew a hurricane, in
whirl the ship was wrecked on the island of Laban, about forty-
fin miles from Manilla. We are happy to learn that few lives
have been lost. The only persons who have perished are Mr. Bell,
the chief officer; Mr. Bruce, who, we believe, was clerk or anis-
tam to the supercargo, and one sailor; all others escaped uninjured,
with the exception of a few alight bruises. Captain Allen arrived
at Manilla from the wreck on the Ist of this month, and having in.
formed Captain Campbell, of his Majesty's ship Cyrene, of the
accident, Captain Campbell sailed on the 2d in the hope of recover-
ing some things from the wreck, such as lead, spelter, quicksilver,
and specie. Mr. Graham Mackenzie, of this settlement, and Mr.
