The morn is up! wake, Beauty, wake !
The Mower is en the lea,
The blackbird sings within the brake.
The thrush is on the tree ;
Forth to the balmy fields repair.
And let the breezes mild
Lift from thy brow the falling hair.
And fan my little child—
Yet if thy step be 'mid the dews,
Beauty! be sure to change your shoes!
'Ti. noon! the butterfly springs up,
High from her couch of rest.
And scorns the little blue bell cep
Which all night long she press'd. •
Away! we'll seek the walnut's shade.
And pass the sunny hoer ;
The bee within the rose is 414
And veils him in the Gower :
Nark not the lustre at his wing,
Beauty! be careful of his sing !
'Tu eve ! but the retiring ray
A halo deigns to cast
hound scenes on which it shone all day,
And gilds them to the last;
Thus. ere thine eyelids close in sleep,
Let Memory deign to flee
Far o'er the mountain and the deep,
To eau one beam on me!
Yes, Beauty! 'tie mine inmost prayer—
But don't forget to curl your hair!

execution upon a warrant of attorney given by a person
of the name of Rowley, to anticipate another execution

Wade, who was also a creditor, suspecting it was a
friendly execution, went to Rowley's house, and found
in officer of the Sheriffs who knew the circumstances,
Upon which he brought an action against the plaintiffs.
aad recovered the amount of his debt.
Mr. EVANS appeared for the -defendant. and con-
tended that if the plaintiffs paid money, knowing all
the facts, they could not recover it from his client: it
was very certain the Sheriffs officer was acquainted
with all the circumstances of the case.
Lord TENTS/EDEN, in addressing the Jury, left this
point for their consideration—Did the plaintiffs know
all the facts their officer was acquainted with ? If they
did. their verdict must be for the defendant; if not, it
must be for the plaintiffs.
The Jury, without retiring. found a verdict for the
plaintiffs.—Damages 1861. 35.

• COURT.OF COMMON PLEAS, Gammas, JOLT lA.,
lIANSTIIIDS AND OrItIIRS V. WILSON AND OTUNRS.
his was an action brought by the owners of the
Jpno. burden 180 tons, against the owners of the Alert,
a Leith and Berwick smack, to recover a compensation
fee,the loss of the former, which had been run down in
consequence of the neglect of those on board the
litter. The facts were these :—On the 16th of
January last the Juno left London on a voyage to
Shield., and on the 20th arrived off Whitby, in
Yorkshire. At 'five o'clock on the morning of the
20th the Alert was descried ahead, bearing towards
them in a direct course. The wind at this time was west,
the Juno sailing N.N.W. and the Alert S. by W. The
111111Stef of the Juno hailed the Alen, and (leaned the
crew to put their helm a-lee, at the same time ordering
his own crew to put his helm a-weather. If these
attractions had been followed by theAlert,the ships would
have passed each other safely; but. for some reason, the
master of the Alert bore straight on until within a very
short distance of the Jaw, .when, instead of putting
his helin i-lee, he put it a-weather, and ran foul of the
Joao on the larboard bow. Both-vessels were entangled,
and in danger of going down ;the Alert, however,freed
heft* from the danger. bat the Juno sunk in about five
or ala• miasma after she was struck; her crew escaped
millaserd the Alert.
'Us owiserahip'of both.yeseels was admitted; the
KM of the Juno confirseed.the statement of the Learned
Counsel; and other persons. were called, who Statedr,
that as the Juno was sailing dose-hauled. it was she duty
of the Alert, who had a. free wind. to have given way.
The defeats, was, that the accident had not alba.
fro. ally neglect of those on board the Alert, but saw
tber front the want of skill of\the master of the Juno;
and witnesses were called who swore that when the
id* first came in sight r (each other, the Alert was to
the leeward, and notto the wind ward of the Joao. aa had
been stated by the witnesses on the other side; and that
Consequeotly it would have been impossible for her to
live passed the Juno. if she bad done as the master
of that ship was said to hive directed. It was swore
positively that a good watch was kept on board the Alert,
mud that she would have passed safely to the leeward.
hi not the master of the Juno most imprudently put
his helm to the weather, whiefiltad the effect of driving
his ship on board the Alert, and causing the mischiet
now complained of.—Several witnesses were called,
who stated that the Alercwas perfectly correct in going
to leeward,, and that the Juno was wrong to have al-
tered her course, it being a role of the sea, that a ship
sailing by the wind should keep on her course, and that
a ship with the wind free should give way.
The LOAD CHIU JUSTICE told the Jury that. if they
thought, from the evidence on the part of the defen-
dant, that the Alert was to the leeward instead of the
wiudward and if they were of opinion that it was a
tale of the sea that a vessel in such a position should
ceatipee bet. goons to the leeward. the defendants
wales pe esaitkai to a verdict t but if they wets of a
cogency opiaioo, for the plaintiffs.—Verdict for the
defends.

tween four and five In the afternoon, be hbard some person coming
up stairs, and suspecting that whoever be was he did not come upon

land asked what was his business? He replied, that be was come
to present a bill to a person named Wittal, and that he had been
sent by Mr. Messoni of Abchurch.lane. Witness insisted upon
accompanying him to Mr. )`lesson, and as soon as he found that it
was all a trick, collared him. The prisoner. broke away, and ran
as hard as he could. Aldred, the street-keeper, of Thames-street,

effort caught him.
Aldred stated, that he took the prisoner to the wstchbouse in
Walbrook ward, when. prim searching him, he found a jemmy and
two pkeleton keys. The prisoner had in his hat two handkerchiefs,
and in his pocket a duplicate for two silk umbrellas and a catalogue
of the last indigo sales.
It was proved that this catalogue bad been left in a private part
of the India House the day before the prisoner was apprehended,
and that the umbrellas had been pawned by .the prisoner.

The Loan Maroa observed, that it was evident the prisoner was
a general dealer in robberies, for he was prepared for all sons. He
was as ready to pick a pocket as to break open a homer. In the hope
of getting a case against him, his Lordship remanded the prisoner.
Two lads named Burgess and Higgins were charged with forgery.
It appeared that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner Higgins pre.
sented a draft for 351. purporting to be signed by one of the firm
*of Messrs. Borradaile and Co. to Messrs. Curtis and Co. but the
clerk suspecting it to be a forgery, questioned Higgins upon the
subject, snd he' after much prevarication, said be had received it
from the other boy, Burgess, who was waiting outside. Burgess
had been discharged from Messrs. Borradalle's employ, and had
not received any instructions to present the check in question.—
The prisoners were remanded.
