A night attack by Constantine Paleologtis, on a detached camp of the troops of Mahomet the second, al the siege of Constantinople. The l uikman lay beside the river. The wind play'd loose through bow Slid quiver. The charger on the bank fed free. The shield hung glittering from the tree, The trumpet, shawm, and atabal, AVer« hid trom dew bv cloak and pall ; For long and weary was the way The hordes had marched that burning day Above them, on the sky of June, Broad as a buckler, glow'd the moon. Flooding With glory vale and bill. In silver sprang the mountain rill, The weeping shrub tn silver bent, A pile of silver stood tbe tent -, All soundless, sweet tranquillity, All beauty, bill, and tent, and tree. There came a sound—'twaa like the gusli When night winds shake the rose's bush. There came a sound—'twas like the flow Of rivers »well'd with melting snow ; The'e came a sound—'twas ike the tread Of wolves along the valley's bed; There came a sound—'twas like the roar Of ocean on its winter aliore. •« Death to the Turk !" uprose the yell ; On roll'd the charge— a thunder peal cl, The Tartan arrows fell like rain, They clank'd on helm, on mail, on chain ; In blood, in hate, in death, were twined Savage and tlreek, mad, bleeding, blind , front, and rear, And still on flank, Raged, Constantine, thy thirstiest spear * Brassy and pale, a type of doom, Laboured the moon, through deepening gloom ; Down plunged her orb-—'twas pitchy night:— Now Turkman, turn thy reins for flight! On rush'd their thousands through the dark ; But in their camp a ruddy spark, Like an uncertain meteor, reel'd: Thy hand, biave king, that firebrand wheel'd! Wild burst the burning element O'er man and courser, flag and ter.t; And through the blaze the Greeks outsprang, Like tigers, blocdy, foot and fang, Wit li daggers' stab and falchion's sweep Delving the stunn'd and staggering heap— Till lay the slave by chief and Khan, And all was gore that once was man. There's wailing on the Euxine shore— Her chivalry shall ride no more. There's wading on thy hills, Altai, For chiefs—the Grecian vultures' prey! But, Bosphorus, thy silver wave Hears shouts for the returning brave, The kingliest of her kingly line, For there comes glorious Constantine! ■ ! t ! J i i i I ! I I : j THE LIGHT Or HOME. By Mrs Hale, of J\ m eu> Port, AVu> Hampshire. My boy, thou wilt dream the world is fair, And thy spirit will sigh to roam. And thou must go ; but never when there, Forget the light of home. Tho' pleasure may smile with a ray more bright, It dazzles to lead astray ; L'kethe meteor's flash * ? will deepen the night, When thou treadest the lonely way But the hearth of home has a constant flame. And pure as vestal fire ; »Twill burn, *» will bum, forever the same, For nature feeds the pyre. The »ea of ambition is ten.pest tost. And thy hopes may vanish like foam; But when sails are shivered and rudder lost. Then look to the light of home. And there, tike a star through the midnight cloud* Thou shalt see the beacon bright ; For never, till shining on thy shroud, Can be quench'd its holy light. The sun of lame, aye 'tw ill gild the name % But tbe heart ne'er felt its ray ; And fashion's smiles that rich ones claim, Are but beams of a wintry day. And how cold and dim those beams would be. Should life's wretched wanderer come * But my boy, when the world is dark to thee, Then turn to the light of home. COUNT. 1.1 A j ! er to COMMENT ON THE LAWS OF FNGLAND. Extracted from the writing, tf Mr. John IVesley. " In the beginning of July. 1761, I was desited to call on a poor prisoner in the castle of York, (Eng land.';—I had tormerly occasion to take nntite ol a hideous monster, called a Chancery bill —l now the fellow to it called a Declaration 'I he plain fac was this : —Some time since, a man who lived nearYarm, assist d other* in running gome brandy ; his share was worth nearly lout pounds. After he had wholly left off that work, and was fol lowing his own business, that of a weaver, lie was arrested, and sent to York gaol And not long af er came down a Declaration , that Jack had lan ded a vessel ladened with »randy and Geneva, whereby he was indebted to his Sovereign Lord the King, in the ttum of 57(U. and upwards And to tell this worthy story, tht lawyer takes up 13 ot 14 sheet* of the Diple sjjampl paper.

Would not this i be execrable vtllany, if the paper and writing to 1 1 gether, were only 6d. a sheet, when they bad stript him already of his little all, and had not left him 14 groats in the world? " It is certain that nothing can be said in de fence of our law proceedings. They are often ab rd, highly oppressive to the subject, and disgrace- : ful to a civilized nation In criminal cases, how often does the indictment magntly and exaggerate both the crime and every circumstance connected with it, beyond all the bounds of truth and pioba bility? Hence it becomes extremely difficult for the Jurymen to discharge their duty with a good And we seldom see punishments duly What shall baw il show, or rather hatred to it ! 2d. su conscience. proportioned to the crimes committed say in other casea where the tautology and cir cumlocution peculiar to the language of our law. the delay of judgment in the courts, and the ter giversation permitted through the whole procctJ ings, render il impossible for an honest man in middling life to obtain his right against a villain, without the utmon danger ot being ruined!
