WOMAN'S TEARS.

"Oh, what are woman's tears!
When they arise frotn (*andel woe,
The ocean's waves—that waste and wide!
tear worthless weeds,--in restless tide,
They have their ebb and flow.

10h, what are woman's tears !
If from the fount of gentle love
The- dew-drops of the blessed morn,
Kiss'd by heaven's breath as soon as born;
As meet for realms above.

"Oh, what are ;roman's tears!
If pour'd in scorn and wounded pritte—
A torrent from a mountain source
That, pent a moment, rends its course,
And spieads a ruin widkt
"Oh, what are woman's tears
If thankful joy the flood corirkels---
That fall but like the gentle rain,
That blesseth and is blest again,
And tills the saved wells.
" Oh, what are woman's tears!
The one soft tear in' rity sped—
Pearl beyond price, the chrystal gem
• • That shines in Mercy's diadem,
And such as Angels shed."

EXIT ANDREW CAit►:w O'DWYER, ESQ., M. P. Mr.
O'Dwyer, the member for Drogheda, has been unseated. The
committee decided against the validity of his election on Satur4
day afternoon, in consequecce of his not possessing the requi-
site qualification.—Observer.
Namick Paella, on a special mission from the sublime Porte,
had a❑ interview on Friday with the Earl of Aberdeen, at the
Colonial Office. llis excellency also transacted business at the
Foreign Office.
The latest account from Vienna states that the emperor had
been waited upon by a deputation of the Hungarian nobles and
the Patriarch Archbishop of Eslau, who presented an address;
to his imperial majesty expresive of their deep regret for the
loss the empire so:tallied bv the death of the Emperor Francis.
and professing the most devoted attachment to the reigning
sovereign. The address, which was written in-Latin,' was most
graciously received.
A loyal address to the king is now lying for signatures at the
castle inn, Taunton. It has already received the names of a
host of the gentry and yeomanry of the neighbourhood; and we
trust that it will be subscribed to by all those iu that part of the
country who feel desirous of loyally and affectionately rallying
around their sovereign in this his hour of difficulty.

The public are, perhaps, not aware that the parliamentary,
petition for leave to'bring in a bill for a railroad from Creen-
wich to Gravesend contemplates the violation of their rights
and enjoyments by the invasion of Greenwich Park. As it
cannot be denied that another line of road may be taken we do
not believe that tire government or the legislatuie, unless the
probability of some important public advantage should be clear•
ly established, will consent to this encroachment upon the
property ofathe crown and the pleasure and recreation of the
people.

DREADFUL DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN CADET, ATWOOLWICH.
—Friday afternoon a gentleman cadet named Orslow,
.aged
fifteen vears, met with his death under the following melan-
choly circumstances:—On the return of the cadets from 'dinner
they were amusing themselves by levelling that part of the pa-
rude fronting the Royal Military Academy, devoted for a cric-
ket-ground, with a very large iron roller, when the deceased
stumbled, and it passed completely over his body, which was
crushed in a most frightful manner, livery possible assistance
was rendered, but the vital spark had fled. The body was con-
veyed
to the Artillery Hospital, where it awaits a coroner's '
quest.

The Landgrave of Hesse has just obtained a verdict in a law-
suit which has been pending for twenty Years, relative to the
dowry of his second wile, who was also Ills brother's daughter.
The fortune he was to have received with his niece in mariiage
was 13,000 dollars, the accumulated interest Of which amounts
to 9,000 dollars. We shall offer no other eomnient on this and
similar marriages among the German princes than to observe
that it sufficiently acconnts for the hereditary insanityand'stu-
pidity which distinguish some of the most prominet members cif
the Aulic Council. Nature cries out against such violations
laws engraven on the human !malt.
A medical Journal contains a communication from Mr. Bird-
of Southampton-terrace, Kentish-town, staling that the Secre,
tare of a new society, consisting of nearly 900 members atilt
subscribers, was attaeLed by soreness of the gums and severe •
salivation in consequence of having wafered nearly 900 letters •
with red wafers, all of which he had moistened in his mouth.
He was cured by proper treatment, and advised to moisten, in
future, the wafers in water.
CITY OF LONDON ADDRESS TO Sits' ROBERT PEEL—The
address to Sir Robert Peel, which was not known to be lying
for signature until the middle of the day on Thursday, and
which has been advertised only one day, has already been
signed (Friday evening) by more than 5,500 persons. The
eager desire thus demonstrated to rally round tt minister who
has thrown himself in the breach at a moment of, perilous
difli-
culty is unprecedented in the city of London.—Meraing Poet.

ATTORNEYS AT LAW IN THE .SIXTEF.NTII CENTCTY--At-
torneys at common law, men eerie honest and learned, yea, rind
also verse necessarie for the practice of the common laws of this
realm°, and finishing of other civil businesses; insomuch that
by nu means their labour and services may want. And yet such
is the unthankfulness of this age, that even their own clvents
(of whom they have been deserved) when they -have served
their turns, so that they see no present occasion to use them any
longer, for the fault of some few will not afford the best of them
one good word for many good deeds. Nay, which is worse,
they will generally slander and condemn them as covetious
-persons and disturbers of the common peace and quietness of all
men by unnecessary suits—when in yerie truth the most part of
-the said attorneys, being very peaceable, do oftentymes dissuade
their clients from the same so much as they can, by means
whereof they greatly offend their minds, insomuch they will for
that only cause suspect them of affection towards the adverse
parties, and threaten earnestly that if they will not intermeddle
therewith others shall.— West's Symdolrgraphy, 1593.
Cum:cows IN AMERICA.—The following is an extract of a
letter from a Scotchman in Maryland, United States:—" Our
churches are built by a fete members, on speculation, who
choose such a minister as they suppose will draw a crowd of
hearers, by which they will be the gainers. The methodists,
and some other sects, have their scats free. We have no old
men or women in the passes or in the pulpit stairs. No, no;
there is scarcely such a sight here as a poor person in our
churches. The poor arc wretched beings, having for the most
part forgotten (it' they ever knew) that there is a God, to whom
they must render au account. No parish churches—no union
of church and state ; and, as an instance of the jealousy with
which one sect views another, there is scarcely a member of
congress, who is a member of any religions sect; for, if he was,
ten to one but all the others would be against him, and su de-
feat his election."
ANCIENT SPANISH NOBILITY.---A passage in Danlop's
" Memoirs of Spain" gives a high idea of the luxurious magni-
ficence of the Spanish nobility, utter the conquest of the New
World—" Almost every 'family could boast of an ancestor who
had been viceroy in Mexico or Peru, or in some other region of
mines. Several grandees, it is said, had 1,200 dozen of silver
dis-bes, and as many plates ; and a nobleman was thought eery
ill provided who had not at least SOU dozen of dishes and 200
dozen of plates. These were generally ranged on enormous and
lofty sideboards, to which the menials ascended by silver steps.
The sideboard of the Duke of Albuquerque had forty silver
ladders; and when he died, in the middle of the 17th century,
six weeks were fully occupied in weighing and taking invento-
ries of the gold and silver vessels."
TEsr oe lea BREEDIFG.—The swaggerer is invariably an
imposter; the man who calls loudest for the waiter, who treats
hint the worst, and .who finds mote fault than any body else
in the room, when the company is mixed, will always turn out
• to be the man of. all others the least entitled, either by rank
or intelligence, to give himself airs. People who are conscious
of what is due to them never display irratibility or impetuosisy.
Their manners insure civility, their civility insures respect,
but the blockhead or coxcomb, fully aware that something
more than ordinary is necessary to produce an effect, is sure
whether in clubs or Coffeerooms, to be the most fastidious and
captious of the community, the most restlesS and irritable
amongst his equals, and the most cringing and subservient
before his superiors.—Hook's "Gilbert Gurney."
BRISTOL. ASSIZES.—The recorder, Sir C, Wetherell, is ex-
pected to arrive in this city in the forenoon of Thursdat next,
when, alter opening the 'commission at the Guildhall, he will
attend Divine Service with the corporate body at the Mayor's,
chapel. Ile will, it is expected, then return to the Guildhall,
and deliver his charge to the grand jury ; but whether he will
afterwards proceed with • either of the trials is yet unceimin.
The trial of Mrs. Burdock, charged with theanuider of„Plara
Ann Smith, is likely to occupy the whole of Friday. and ,per-
haps part of Satuiday, as a great mass of evidence wilt be
adduced. We hear that Mr. Adolphus is retained as leading
counsel for the accused. The only other case is one of Mau-
slaughter.—Bristol Jourutd.
REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT WITHOUT PATRONAGE.--'TO
the open-mouthed eulogists of republic a: especially that of the
United States, we recommend the pci usal Ora most satisfactory
and important document, Viz., a report made to the American
part of the Committee appointed
senate by Mr. Calhoun, on the
to inquire into the amount of patronage, &c. &e. enjoyed by the
president and-government. In the state Of New York alone it
Comptroll
consists of appointments to be Governors, Deputy-Governors,
Secretaries of State, ers of State, A ttsruey-Generals,
Surveyor-Generals; Senate and House of Assembly, with
Speakers, Sergeants-at-Arms, Clerks and Chaplains; Chan-
cellos, Vice-Chancellor, Judges of the Supreme Courts, 311:11
Judges of Common Pleas, (had Lord Brougham these in his
eve when he meditated erecting local courts?) fifty-two County
Sheriffs, as many County Atturney-Generals, Surrogates, PAX-
lic Admieistrators, Mayors, Aldermen, Notaries, &c. &c. oil
paid by the stale, and nominuted by the government, amount-
mg alto
gether to 26,000 in iduals out of a population of
2,000,00 U! Add to this, the amount of places in the other stales
of the union, &c. Andrew Jackson has a tolerably paiait u-
lady considerable share of grub for self and friends!' We re-
commend these facts to the attention of Lord John Russell,
Home and Co.

EXTENSIVE 1101111EnY op PLATE.—Mr. Samuel Rogers; au-
and residing at 22, St. James's
thor of The Pleasures of Memory,
Place, has been robbed by a domestic to a large amount. It ap-
pears that on Tuesday last several friends of Mr. Rogers were
invited to partake of a breakfast, and a quantity of plate, which
had not recently been used, was desired to be got ready on the
occasion. Just before the arrival of the company, the footman,
Thomas Silos, left the house; not being in attendauce, and
the plate not being laid ready, his absence excited suspicion, and
whichwas still further corroborated by the keys of the plate-chests
being removed from the it place. Alter the lapse of a few hours Mr.
Rogers sent for Plank, the officer; when it was advised that the
plate-chests should be broken open, which was dune with diffi-
culty. The result fully confirmed the suspicions of Mr. Bogota
of the dishonesty of his servant, who, it appears, has robbed into
of a large quantity of plate. Amongst the articles stown are
splendid
dhe idd
four double dishes, chased, which cost, it is said, upwards of
inner
alnidt" tea-service upards :
fmitaX)ssiN).i silver
eeesoft
tral-akt (e' t tte ;1 belonging
tvoe
gilt vases and spoons. The offender, who is about twenty-five
years of age, and a native of Minstead, a village in the-New
einttnete7l
Forest; Hampshire, had been in the set vice f l%i r. getars i lot
the the last seven vents; and so high was the opinion
of him by his master, that he was intrusted with the whole of
the valuable property c,;mainect in the house, and to prevent
the possibility of temptation, high wages were paid to him.
There can be no doubt that a considei able portion of the pro-
perty has been gone for some time. Prom the inquiries which
have been made, it appears that Sims is a married man, having
one child, and that he was in the habit of being out nightly,
and spending cnnsiderable sums.
