THE BLUSH.-AN EPIGRAM.

BY THE BON. WILLIAM ROBERT SPENCER*

When first o'er Psvcuc's angel breast
Love's yet untruant
Of either parents charms peace, -
My birth their mutual flame betray'&,
No limbs My airy charms obscure,
N 6 bone my elfin form sustains;
Yet blood I boast, as warns, as pare,
As that which throbs in Hamel
- I sleep with beauty, watch with fear,
I rise in modest youth's defence,
And swift appear, if danger's near
The snow-drop path of Innocence.
• Sometimes in Tousle' Hall I'M seen,
But soon these 'seiner duties fly,
On flovr'ry bank, or village green,
My parents gentler cause to try.
Love's aanshine, heaped from brightest eye.,
Less cheers his •ot'ry's painful duty,
Thin niy suspicions-light, which flies
-Like meteors o'cr the heav'n of beauty !

'Whom he was stolen, who was described tobea lady

.cf genteel appear-a:see, smattly dressed, and who had
purchased for the little boy a hat and feather, at the
shop of a hatter on Fish-street-hill. A nt.mber.of
"witnesiess were examined, for the purpose i f identi-
fying the lady at the bar with the fact in question.
An old woman, named Mary Coz, vim keeps a
green4rocer's andfruiterer's shop, in St. Martin's-
rane, Cannon-itreet,deposed, that about half past ten
'on the morning of Monday sennight, Mrs. lleanw,
the mother of the lost child, came to her shop, told
her site was going to consult a medical gentleman on
some complaint in her eyes ; and left the little boy,
and anotkvhild his sister, in her care, until her re-
turn'. The witness WAS sitting shortly after Wards with
one of the children on her knee, when a lady answer-

ing to the pri:oner's description came it), awl called
toe ttvo.pennyworth of apples. She put down thechild
and served her. Immediately afterwards some ether
person came in for some of her merchandize, Whom
she also served. She then missing the children frcm
the cl-kor, called them to come itt, but neither answer-
ed. She ran into the sheet, but could not find them.
Alarmed at tltis, she went up the street, and called
frequen'ly Rebecca, (the little girl's name) but re.
ceived no ans .ver. After a short time, she saw the
little girl, without her brother, returning down Fish-,
street, having an apple and a small plumb-cake in
her hand. She asked her who had given her them,
and where her brother. was ? The child replied, she
had got them from the lady who, just before, had
bought the apples at her shop, and had taken her
little brother with her to his mother. The woman
made every empiry about the neighbourhood, but
could And no satisfactory traces of the lady. She
could not swear to the lady's identity, riot- her voice,
but merely to her size ; having never seen her be-
fore, and only heard her speak a few words.
Two witnesses from a pas ry-cook's shop, on Fish-
street hill, the one a shop-woman, and the other the
daughter of the master, proved, that on the morning
and about the hour stated, a lady, attired in a dark
gown, blue cloth cloak, and black straw bonnet and
feather, came into the shop with two children ; one
the little girl now produced in Court, and the other
a bide boy about four years old. They had neither
hats ner tippets on, and the boy had his hair turned
up on one s;de of his forehead, answering to the
description of the lost child. The lady bought some
buns, of which she gave two to each of the children,
and immediately went out with them. Both these
witnesses looked at the lady, and felt every reason to
be convinced that she was the same pers.m; although
she was now dressed quite differently, being attired in
a scarlet cloth cl•ralc, and figured silk coiaidee.
The uncle of the cl.ild spite. 4, that having heard
his brother's little son had been stolen, he made every
enquiry into the circumstances, and round the neigh-
betaliood, in ceder, if possible, to discover some clue
to the person who bad titken off the child. He learn-
t.' d what had occurred at the pastry-cook's; arid after-
War2s*was informed at the shop of Mr. Shergoid, a
itia, on Fish-street-hill, that a lady answering the
Same description had purchased the same mcrning a
that and feather.there for a little boy, whose appear-
inciagreed With the person oflittle-Delletw ; • Lut all
farther enquiries were in vain, until some days after-
ivards, when a gent leman of his acquainiance, to whom
he related the story, told him that a woman named
Elizabeth Rtissel, who had before been charged with
a similar offence, lived at a house in Trafa!gar-place,
totithvrat k, and whose person corresponded with the
description he esc. 'Thither he wenteaccompanied
by a Police Ofh.eer from Union Hall, and one of the
young women from the pastry-cook's. Unwilling to
excite any alarm, he first rapped at the door, and en-
' rittired if Vets: Rus.el was at hcme ; and was told
she was not, by the person who opened the door._
tr , said he would wait for her, and he was shewrt op
hairs to the front apartment of two which the lady
occirpied. After waiting a few minutes she came in.
• He engaged her by some conversation, still casting
• his eyes about for some traces of the child, but saw
*• tient. He asked if she. had not another apartment,
to which she answered 44 yt s," and 'hewed him into
'the neit room. He discovered no clue there to bis
.She then asked him who the persons were
w.iied -below stairs? He said they came with
-lid requecing her not to be aLutned, told her
of hie nneincss, -and asked her it' she had

, . , .

any objection. to see and speak to the girl from the
pestey•cook's' shop ? She answered she hittito Oh-
jectiolt to see any person upon the subject. The girl
was then called up stairs, and on seeing and heating
the defendant speak, she -said she was the very per,
son. The witness cautioned her at the time to be
very circumspect, but she was positive as to the de-
fendant's identity. The witness again requested the
iody not to he alarmed ; but told her it wotild be ne-
cessary for her to accompany him with the officer to
the hatter's shop before mentioned. She came with-
out hesitation t but at the hatter's, the female who
had sold the hat and feather, could not speak posi-
tively to her person, but merely to her size; and she
herself positively denied having ever been either at
the fiances or the pastry-cook's. She was, however,
held in custody, and her apartments were afterwards
searched, but no such cloak or hat as those describe
ed to hate been worn by her on the former day, nor
as that said to be purchased for the child, were dis-
covered, nor any thing that could give information
respecting her. Some papers and letters addressed
to her, which chewed her to haVe used the name el'
Ruxton, were found.
The little girl, Rebecca Dellow, who was now interro-
gated by the Lord Mayor, and she said in her an-
swers that it was the lady at the bar who had given
her and her brother the cakes and apples, and had
taken away her brother.
The lady positively denied any knowledge of the
trams talon, and added, that she was confined within
her lodgings by illness the whole of the day, and the
two days preceding this transaction, except going out
ort the Monday afternoon about four o'clock ; otnd
this, she said,• could be proved by two witnesses, the
owner of the house Where she lodged, and another
female, who is also an inmate.
The Dien MAYOR said he bad no objection to re-
mand her for another examination, in order to give i
her.an opportunity of bringing those witnesses for-
ward ; but, at the same time, he explained to her I
' the nature of the charge against her, and the neces.
s try severities of punishment that must follow a con-
iicrion; and strenuously advised her, if she really ,
knew any thing of the lost child, to communicate it i
to his parents,-as the only condition that could induce
them to forego farther prosecution.
The defendant then fell on her knees, attested Hee- '
yen to witness her innocence, and fervently prayed I
that she Might never rise with life from the poiture '
in which she was, if she had any knowledge what-
ever of the child, or of the act imputed to her.
The defendant is about thirty, of genteel appear-
ance, and is nodcrstood to be rsopeetably comtected;
her husband being a Surgeon in the Navy, and two
•of her brothers ()slicers ia the Army.—Remandedl
till Friday.
FOOTPAD.—The footpad who stopped and robbed
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, as thefwere returning home on
'Sunday evening in a single horse chaise, is supposed
to be in custody at Bose-street Office. On Tuesday
a man offered a watch to pledge at a pawnbroker's, t
in Chandos-street ; in consequence of some questions
put to him by the pawnbroker, his answers, and other
circumstances, it was suspected he had net come ho-!
nestly by it ; and while he was kept in conversation,
Donaldson the constable was sent for, who took him
into custody, and conveyed him to the above Office,
; when, on examination of the watch he had offered 'to
pledge, and the description of the man answered i
I those given of the watch Mr. Smith had been robbed
of, and the robber ; in consequence of W hich he was
detaiied, and committed for further examination this '
day, when Mr. and Mrs Smith will attends
HAexoN-Gatioes. Yesterday --- Jones was
charged by a foreign sailor, with being concerned
wi:11 two other persons not taken, in defranding him
of 41.1 The prosecutor was pasting along Snow.l
hill, on Tuesday afternoon,
,when the two latter en-i
quired what countryman he was?—he told them he
was an Hanoverian ; they pretended to be strangers,
lbut walked together as far as Holborn, and went to a
public-house in the neighbourhood Gf Leather-lane,
where they exhibited several notes, resembling those
of the Bank of England, and introduced a game of
chalking under the hat, and offered to play him for
£2O, when he told them he had not got so much,
when the prisoner came into the room,'pretending to
be a stranger also, and played with the two former
for seloo, which he lost, as did the informant £l5,
the prisoner then enticed him to go with him a little
way to get some more money; he accordingly did
so ; but_when they had proceeded a short way, he
persuaded him to go back to the two gentlemen ; but
when he got to the house they were gone. Some
time afterwards he accidentally met the prisoner,
whom he caused to be apprehended ; and on search-
ing hini, a great number of sham bank-notes were
found upon him, which he said he got from the Fleet
Prison. He was committed for re-examination.
Four Irishmen were charged with being active in'
a disturbance on Sunday night, in Crss-cross, where
a great number of that country had met at a house in
the neighbourhood ; and about ten o'clock they gat
fighting amongst themselves with clubs, fire irons, fee.
and on the patenle and watchmen interfering, they
got a severe beating, but at length succeeded in se-
curing the prisoners, who were betel to bail.
nt.ooltot. OH-ST dAy J. APCargly
was aarged with a burglary in the house of Mr.
Winetield, in Great Russellstreet, Bloomsbury, and
stealing plate, linen, &c. to a considerable amount.
Lane, a watchman, stated, that he had observed
the prisoner lurking about the street on the morning
of the robbery, in company with two others ; and
after they were gore, a new surtout coat was found
in the street, and the robbery of Mr. Wingtield's
house was discovered. He was remanded for another
examination.

COURT MARTIAL—A Court Martial was assern&
bled on board the Raisonable, in Sheerness harbour,
on the .23d inst. for the trial of T. O'Hara, a seaman I
formerly belonging to the Nereicle frigate, charged
with being concerned in murdering Mr. Daley, a
Master's Mate of the said ship, and tanning away
with the prize brig l'Ag'le, and being found in arms
in the Isle tf Bout bon : when the Court having deli
berately conside:ed the evidence, were of opinion,that
the first part of the charge, as to being concernet! in
the mucler of Mr. Staley, was not proved.; but that
his cu mbii.ing to run away with the brig, as well as
his being recognized amongst the enemy, had been
filly proved ; and did therefore adjudge, that he
hotilcl han ed at the yardarm of such ship as the
Lurda of use Alit should think fit.

Report of the CHIEF Juvrices Charge to the Dub-
lin Jury, on the recent trial acquittal of Dr.
SHERIDAN :

The CHIEF JUSTICE ChM-get! the Yury, and com-
menced by reading at length the indictment, and'
then r,:capttulated the evide%ce of Sheppard, Is141)o
nough, and Huddlestun. He said, that if they be:-
lieved the witnesses Shepp rd and hl4llonough, they
must believe, that tn. the 31st r.f July a meeting had
taken place in Litfes -street Chat .l that an election
had there take pl•me for delegating five }arsons to
serve in a Oenerat Assembly-or Contufttee of the
Cath,,lics of ireland, and to r4,resent that parish in
that assvmuly. If they believed the witnesses, who
both spoke t,. toes ,me facts wiLil little variation, they
must believe that the traverser assisted at the ekc.io"

of those perents mentioned, that he was in the Chair,
and put the question of their appointment. If, also,
they believed Mr. liuddlestnn, they must biieve,
that a meeting also took place at Fishamble-street,
on the oth of July, at which certain resolutions were
passed ; and particularly, they would observe the na-
ture and substance of the resolution, that five per-
sons should be elected from each palish in Dublin to,
serve in the Committee ; for as the traverser did not
appear to have interfered with the proceedings at,
Fishamble-street, his responsibilly for any thing done
there would entirely depend upon the connexion, if
any, which they should believe existed between those
two me zings If they thought that the meeting in
Liffey-street was held in pursuance of the resolutions
entered into at Fishamble-street, they wereldentified,
and the acts of both were evidence against the tra-
verser. On that part of the case, he should re-
Mark, there was cerainly no evidence of their con-
nexion, but the coincidence in point of number cf the
five persons elected in Lilley-street accolding with
the number assigned by the resolution of the.9th,
and that the election was for a parish in Dublin, and
that it took place within Vie month. It was on this
evidence fur them to say if they believed theone was
in consequence of the other ; and if so, the traverser
was identified with both In order to apply those'
fccts to the law, he should give them what was 'the
opinion of the Court on the law, undis the construe-
Coe of the statute. The Act does norproless to say
that it was intended to suppress conventions Meeting
with a criminal intention ; and to this day an assem-
bly might meet, and not be guilty of ant. eritiinal
act, and be only illegal, under the operation of this
statute ; but it was the meeting of an assembly, how.
ever fair and innocent their niotivl,'that was eonsi.l
dered sby the Legislature criminal' and dangerout,
from the very nature of the constitutions of such con-
ventions. It was not because they were fair intend-,
ed, but because, from their very formation, they pos-'
sible might be injurious; and the remedy which the.
Legislature had taken was to declate the existence of
them unlawful, and authorizes the Magistrates to
disperse them ; and this must be the only operative.
construction of the Act ; for the second section de-
clares, the publishing a notice to :met to be a high
misdemeanour, and makes it a substantive cffence
attending and voting at any election of persons to
serve an the same; and it would be impossible that
this section of the Act could ever apply, if it was to
depend on the question, whether the assembly met
on a true or false pretence, which would be a trans-
' action long subsequent; so that unless the Legisla.'
ture meant it to extend to all representative assem-
blies, save those particularly excepted, these enact-
ments of the 2d section would be nonsense; and what
would shew that abstud:ty greater, if the prearsee ,
was to be a false pretence, thAs the Act em,-,onered
the Peace Officer to farce his way into any such. as-
sembly, and disperse it. Is the-Peace Officer to be
aludge of the truth or falsehood of the pretence, of
the meeting ? or is he to wait until the pretenc.'
the false pretence of the meeting is disclosed, and
then disperse them while they were dispersiug them-
selves, and the objectof the meeting has been obtain-
ed ? So that, if the acts of the assembly were'only to
bring it within the operation of the statute, the se.
medy would seem to me to be smarty inoperative.
The Act has done nothing, unless tt has prevented
the meeting of all delepW assemblies, whether
matins for the purpose of reclaiming, or otherwise.

ft remains then; if Too do believe that the trareiver
Dr. Sheridan, did act in the election of Mr. Kirwan,
dominated to the General Committee, and that such
Committee was for the purpose of altering any mat-
ter, by. petition or otherwise, in the Church or State,
you will find him guilty ; for it is our opinion, that
ithe fact of his assisting at that election, whether it
was for the purpose of petitioning or not, Wi)gld LtA,
putilitti out of the opbrAttoll IX The stance.
