BEAUTIES OF BYRON . KO . XXXII . " THE COR 8 A 1 B . " The works of our poet are so voluminous , and the t ^ V ?^ ! Tltin S endless , that we should never be able to bring our extracts to a conclusion were we to give but a thousandth part of what we might fairly extract under the above head . In the poem before us , the passages we onght to copy would occupy this column for three or four weeks to come out this cannot be , we must confine ourselves to one notice ; and this course we shall pursue with most of the minor poems . Perhaps hereafter we may even mm more than one poem into one week ' s notice Bnef though our extracts must be , they will afford
"O ' er the glad waters of ffc oark blue sea . Our thoughts at boundless , and our souls as free Par as the breeze can ha * , thebiUows foam ' Survey our empire , and behold our home ' These are our realms , no limits to their swaj-Our flag the sceptre all who meet obey . Ours the wild life in tumul : rtill to range Prom toil to rest , and joy in ev . ry change . Oh , who can tell ! notthou , luxurious slave ! TOiose soul would sicken o ' er the heaving wave Kotthou , vain lord of wantonness and ease ! Whom slumber sooths not , pleasure cannot please _ Uh , who can tell , save he whose heart hath tried , And danced in triumph o ' er the waters wide , The exulting sense—the pulse ' s maddening play , That thrills the wanderer of that trackless way !
Let him who crawls enamourM ofdecav , Cling to his couch and sicken years away . Heave his thick breath and shake his palsied head ; Ours—the fresh turf , and not the feverish bed . "While irasp by gasp he falters forth his soul , Ours with one paug—one bound—escapes control . His corse may boast it » urn and narrow cave , And they who WthM his life may gild his grave : Ours are the teart , though few sincerely shed , "When Ocean shrouds and stpulckres our dead . For us even banquets fond regret supply In the red cup that crowns our m « mory ; And the brief hour of joy in danger ' s day , "When those who win at length divide the prey , And cry , Renftmbrance saddening o ' er each brow , How had the brave who fell exulted now '
HEDOEA WATCHING FOB THE CORSAIK . Oh ! many a night on this lone couch reclined , My dreaming fear with storms hath winged the wind And deem'd the breath that faintly fann'd thy sail ' The murmuring prelude ef the ruder gale ; though soft , it seem'd the low prophetic dirge , That moura'd thee floating on the savage surge : till would I rise to reuse the beacon fire , eet spies lets true should let the Waze expire ; nd many a restless hour outwatch'deaeh star , nd morning came—and still thou wer ' t * fer . »! how the chill bla « t on my bosom blew , > d day broke dreary on my troubled view , ; d still I gazed and gazed—and not a prow « granted to my tears—my truth—my vow ! length ' twas noon—I hail'd and blest the matt Umetmy Bght—itnear'd—Alas .

Onr rtiaining extract we give from the concluding port a f the poem , the purity and beauty of *" uelllt * re rain to praise . Let the reader turn to the poem ad read for himself the Wth , 20 th , 21 st , 22 nd , and « 3 rd sections of the Third Canto . We must contet ourselves with the following lines picturing Conrd over the dead body of Medora : — He reach'd is turret door—he paused—no sound Broke firomrf thin ; and all was nightarouud . He knock'd nd loudly—footstep nor reply Announced l at any heard or deemed him nigh ; He knocked-bu t faintly—for his trembling hand Kefosed to ai < ihis heavy heart ' s demand .
The por tal ope ^ s— 'tis a well known face—Bnt aot theforf the panted to embrace . Its lips are silem—twice his own essay'd , And fail'd to frame the question they delay'd ; He snateh'd the lamp—its light will answer all It quits his grasp , expiring in the fall . He would not wait for that reviving ray—As soon coald he iaTe lingered there for day ; But glimmering through the dusky corridore , Anothtr chequers o ' er the shadowM floor ; His steps the chamber gain—his eyes behold All that Ms heart belifcved not—yet foretold !
He turned not—spoke not—sunk not—fix'd his look , And set tie anxious frame that lately shook : He gazed—how long we gaze despiteof jiain , And know , we dare not own , we gaze in vain ! In life itself she was so still and fair , That death with gentler aipect witherM there ; And the cold flowers her colder hand contain ed , In that last grasp as tenderiy were strain'd As if she scarcely felt , but feigned a sleep , And made it almost mockery yet to weep : The long dark lashes fringed her lids of snow , And veal'd—thought shrinks from all that lurk'd
below—Oh ! o ' er the eye Death most exerts his migh ^ And hurls the spirit from her throne of light ; Sinks those blue orbs in thatlong last eclipse . But spares , as yet , the charms around her lips—Tttjet they setm as they forbore to smile , And wish ' d repose—but only for a while ; But the white shroud , and each extended tress , long—fair—but spread in ntter lifelessness , ' "Which late the sport of every summer wind , Escaped the baSed wreath that strove to bind ; These—and the pule pure cheek , became the bier—But she is nothing—wherefore is he here *

D , vjer stated the case , from which it appeared that ln the year 1812 the defendant lived with his
wtuer at Clonaalkin , in tlie county of Dublin , at which period he was about . twenty-one years of age , and seduced the plaintiff herself , who was then a young girl residing with her father , who lived in the same neighbourhood , and he had by her three children—a son , who was born in ISIS ; a daughter , the girl alleged to be seduced in the present action , born in lS 2 i ; and a third child , also a female , born in 1834 . The defendant , he said , reared tbis family well and respectably , and educated his eldest daughter in the best manner up to the year 1 S 42 , when he seduced also her from ( he paths of virtue , and hail a child by her in 1 S 43 . The learned gentleman , in conclusion , said he would prove these facts by the unfortunate girl herself , and read a number of letters which were written
by Mr . Arabin to her . —Mary Anne Carroll , examined by Mr . Bollestone : I am daughter of the plaintiff . M y mother lives in Bride-street , and has lived there for four years . We lived there id lSi ' 2 , during the summer , at the time the occurrence took place , and we lived before that in French-street , and previously in Cumberland ' place . My father is John L . Arabin . I saw him at my mother ' s place . He always came wherever we were . My mother kept no servant in Bride-street , in ISM . I had a brother and sister . He is older and slie U younger than I am , I went to school to Miss Lord ' s , in Stafford-street and to Mrs . Allen ' s , in Stephen ' s-green . My father paid for my education . He paid Miss Lord , and £ 2 to Mrs . Allea by one of the witnesses . I used to do the work in my mother ' s house . 3 fy fatherwantedme to be a boarder
at Miss Lord ' s , but my mother did not wish it , and I was only sent as a day scholar . My father had a country house at Corkagh , near Clonaalkin . I was often there . Whenever I went to the country he used to uriug me into town in his car . lie often brought me home from Clarestreet to my mother ' s when it was late . It was bis own house in Clare-ttreet , and his brother , the counseller , lived in it . I was frequently in that house . I remember making an appointment wit h my father , the defendant , in the year 1842 . I appointed to meet him in Sackvillestrcet , or a little street off Sackville-strcet , the uameof which 1 forget . He made that appointment in my mother ' s house . The defendant did not tell me what he wantt-a with me , for he often before met me and brought me to Harries ' , on "Wellington-quay , and other plaees . I
mtthim , according to theappointmeut , about five o ' clock in the evening . It was summer time . Mr . Arabin was in the house when I arrived . He was in the parlour , and he brought me up to the drawing room . We had some conversation there . I forgst what it was . 1 don ' t remember much what he said or did oa that occasion . He told me I was his own property , and he could do what he liked with me . He did do what he liked with me . No man ever acted as he did on that occasion , before or since . I had a child by Mr . Arabin , which , is alive . My mother has it . She is in this town . The defendant told me not to tell anybody what had occurred , and he sent me home in a car . I often saw my fattier after that . I was never in that house again with him , but he was
in a house afterwards with me , and treated me in the same way . He was very sorry for what occurred . He used to call me Mary aHd Poll y . H « frequently gave me money , and always gave me presents of money , both before and after this transaction , until lately . He often vnrote to me since the seduction took place , but never before it . ( Tbe witness here identified the several unsigned letters , which were read by counsel , and swore that they were in the defendant ' s handwriting . ) The ehild I had by Jtr . Aralriu was a female . He often saw and nursed it I never spoke to him about providing for the child . Upon my oath , the defendant is father of that child . —Cross-examined b y Mr . Hatchell : It was in the house or cottage in Bride-street that I was delivered of the chUd . It will be three years old next June . I had left school at the time I went to the house off Sackvillustreet . I am certain of it . Mr . Arabin gave me £ 1 to get the child baptized . After I left Glasuevin 1 went to live with my mother . I first saw Mr . Walsh , the
plaintiff ' s attorney , since last Christmas ; my mother went to him . I bid her go because I saw his picture in flie Mansion-house . ( Great laughter . ) A woman tola me that it was his picture , and that he was a good man . My mother wanted to have Mr . Fitzgerald . Mr . Walsh told me that my dada disliked him , and I heard afterwards from Mr . Dunne that he had been suspended by him , and not allowed to practice in his court . Mr . ATalsh has given money to my mother within the last month ; a little . He gave me money also , bnt it was all my mother . I got my share of it to be sure . ( Laughter . ) I did not get a letter from England upon my oath , a few days after I went to Glasnevin , from a person named Thompson , but I got a letter every week from my father , with £ l in it . Elizabeth Arabin , a girl about 12 years old , was then put on the table , and having answered several questions to his lordship to show that she was acquainted with the nature of an oath , was examined by Mr . Coates as follows : —I am a daughter of Mr . Arabin . and sister of thu last
witness ; the plaintiff is my mother . I often saff Mr . Arabin in > ny mother ' s bouse in Bride-street ; I have gone to him for money for my mother , and got it ; he paid for my schooling . —John Smith , examined by Mr . Dwyer : I know William Murphy . Was the proprietor of Ko . 12 , New Bride-street , and is so , I think , since September , 1841 . He built the cottage in which the plaintiff resided , and it became occupied by her in September , 1 S 42 , and her two daughters , Mary Anne and Elizabeth Arabin . The inmates of that cottage were all , I believe , well ccnducted . I never heard anything against them . Mr . Arabin , the late Lord Mayor , paid the rent . He paid it tome last year in the Mansion-house . I ^ gave him receipts for the rent for Mr . Murphy , and put the plaintiffti
name in them as paying it . —The plaintiffs case then closed , and Mr . Hatchelt Q . C ., proceeded to address the jury for the defence . He stigmatised the entire ease as a foul aud malicious conspiracy . Mr . Arabiu did not , aud could not deny , that , when a young man , he had formed a connexion with the plaintiff , lived with her , aud hud some children by her , amongst whom was Mary Anne Arabin ; but he repudiated the atrocious allegation that he was her seducer . The true state Of the case was tlllS —it was a eonspiifaey got up by some underhand party , who urged on the plaintiff to make this charge for the purpose of extortion , and she was easily worked upon from jealousy , for Mr , Arabin , from her conduct , was obliged to discontinue all intercourse with her . She
became a person of the most abandoned character , beinconstantly intoxicated , and in the habit of annoying him in the public street ; so much so that he was obliged to give up rendering her sny assistance , and she then commenced her attacks upon him , and accused him of keep , ing Company with a female named Betsy Askins . As to the letters prored to be in his handwriting by the first witness , no doubt they were written by him , but not to hrr ; for they were addressed to her mother , Mary , and wertnot shown to be addressed to any one else . Mr Eollestone replied for the plaintiff . The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— £ 1 , 000 damages , and Cd . costs . Heetfobd Satcbdat .
, CHAEeE of Mckdee . —Levi Warman aged 45 , was charged upon the coroner ' s inquisition , with the wilful murder of his wife , Elizabeth Warman . The evidence against the prisoner was entirely of a eircumstantwl character , butwasofsuch a description as to leave very little doubt of his guilt . It appeared that he was a labourer , and resided at Standen , in this county . The deceased was represented to be a very well-conducted industrious woman ; but the prisoner had some bad conuexions , and frequentl y quarrelled with and ill-used his wife . Oatheevening of tbe ICth of August , the deceased had been to market , and returned home with some little articles she had purchased about seven o ' clock , and the
prisoner questioned her as to what had become of some apples off the trees in the garden . The deceased replied thatshe knew nothing about them ; upon which the prisoner abused her , struck her on the head , and drove her out of the house . She went to a neighbour ' s cottage for protection ; and the prisoner went there and told lier to come out , at the same time making use of various threats towards her ; an < among other observations , he said if she didUotcomeouthewould » weedherintheneck-hole , and she should remember theday andthe hour . " Thentighbours , seeing the temper of the prisoner , advised the deceased not to g . indoors until he was gone to bed , and she remained about the house , and was last sf en { . live , crying m the garden of the cottage . Shortly after this the
prisoner sent his daughter , who was the only person in the house at the time , to a beer-shop at some distance to fetch him a pipe ; and immediately after she was gone , the prisoner was heard to come down stairs , and go int « the garden ; ami he then again returned to the house . When the daughter came back , she found her mother lying in the garden , quite dead . An alarm was given , and the prisoner -went down stairs , and on Ws seeing the body he exclaimed , "Ah , she is gone , and God blew her . " Upon the body being examined by Mr . Packman , a surgeon , at Puckerid ge , he could not discover any external market violence , but upon opening the head hediscoverd a violent bruise under the skin upon the scalp , which had caused an extensive « travai at « m of blood , which pressing upon the brain had occasioned the death of the
deceased and he said he had no doubt the injury was occasioned by a heavy blow with some blunt instrument , such as a stick or a piece of wood . A heavy stick that was found in the cottage of the prisoner was produced by the constabiejandit washkemse statddtoattbcrewasahirge piece of wood , n the prisoner ' s garden , which was used to Keep the gate thut , and which was moved from its place h ^ T , " « ? ll " ditHMtu egest «*^ tthefatalin 3 uvy wl ^ CtCd b ? nltans of one « ° *« « f u ' feZ » w .

Arsenic is kept in my shop-it is white . There is none of a slate-colour . Calomel is mt . laiUc . The first packet the deceased got had from two to two and a half grains in each powder . In severe cases of cholera six ty grains have been taken with impunity . It is in itself a metallic irritant poison . It would produce salivation . If taken in large quantities it would produce vomiting and purging , and inflammation of the stomach with the consequent iyraptoms—George t ' ringle apprentice to Mr . Creighton , at Morpeth , stated that In the latter end of October he sold some arsenic to a youiv - ^ ^ .:

body were healthy . The mortification was the cause of denth , and was produced by some acrid mineral poison . Arsenic would produce these appearances . I took away the stomach and it « contents The latter I put into a phial and delivered it to Mr , Creighton , the chemist on the 10 th of December . —William Creighton : I am a surgeou and apothecary and practical chemist at Movpeth . I analysed the contents of the stomach . They would about fill a wine-glass . The liquid looked like coffeegrouts . The morning after I received it I tested it by Marsh ' s test . The principle of the test is to generate hydrogen gas in a fluid suspected to contain arsenic . Having produced some hydrogen gas with pure distilled water , ! tested the gas by holding a clean plate over the
flame while it was burning . It showed no trace of arsenic . I then took one half of the contents of the stomach and put it in . The gas then produced a distinct arsenical spot . I then tried the same test on a known solution of arsenic , and obtained a precisely similar spot . 1 then tried if the metallic crust or spot so produced were volatile . It passed away by the heat of the spirit lamp , which is eharaeteristic of an arsenical deposit . I tried to experiment on the other half of the contents , and the gas was accidentally dissipated by the assistant moving the apparatus . The parcel shown me ky Whigham contained arsenic . I experimented on the Stomach , but could trace no arsenic—Dr . Glover stated that hearing the evidence given , and supposing the account of the
sjinptoms correct , he made no doubt the death was produced by arsenic . — Cross-examined : Would prefer Keinsch ' s test for arsenic , producing a black stain on copper . I should not have beeu perfectly satisfied with Marsh ' s test , without testing the spot . I should huve expected to find arsenic in the substance of the stomach , except on a particular hypothesis . —Henry Glassford Potter gave a similar opinion as to the cause of the death . —ilr .

Manslaughter . —Selby Green was indicted for the manslaughter of Ralph Parker . The prisoner , with one of his companions , was , in the latter part of September last , in the eating-house of a person of the name of Thomson , in the Pudding-chare , in the town of Newcastle . It was between twelve and one o ' clock at ni ght . The prisoner and his companion were at supper . The deceased , who , with several others , had been rather disorderly in the street , entered the house with the intention apparently of creating a disturbance . ' , They did not order anything for themselves , but , entering the box in whieh the prisoner was sitting , snatched the meat off the plate ot
the parties . The prisoner got up and asked what that was for , on whieh the deceased struck him in the face with his open hand . The prisoner had the knife in his h&ud with which lie was eating his supper , and struck the deceased in the left eye . The deceased inlinediately fell , the knife remaining sticking in the wound . The prisoner seemed much shocked at what had occurred , and assisted in removing the knife , whieh required considerable force to extract it . The deceased was taken home , und lingered for some days , when he died . Vevdict , Guilty , His Lordship , In consideration of the prisoner having been in custody since the 1 st of October , sentenced him to be imprisoned one calendar month .
IJelanet v . the Hundiied op Bamborgh . —This action , which was commenced yesterday , occupied the greater part of to-day , The plaintiff in this case is a person whose name was some time ago rather prominentl y before the pubUc in a trial uefore Mr . Baron Gurney , in whieh he was charged with the murder of his wife , and wns acquitted . On returning to hi » house near Sunderland , the mob attacked it , and having driven out the inhabitants , set fire to the house and destroyed it , with a great portion of its contents . This action was brought under a statute of 7 and 8 George IV ., against the hundred , to recover the amount of the damacc so sustained . A good deal of evidence was given as to the value of the pro .
perty . 1 he Rev . Mr . Belancy said the house was well furnished , in some parts extravagantl y . The greater part of the furniture had come to Mr . Uelaney through his wife , who had received it from her mother . There were a number of hooks in th « house , ancient coins , and other curiosities . The books he thought could not be bought under £ 200 . Had h . i melf furnished ft house for between £ 200 and £ 300—not so well furnished as the plaintiff ' s . By other parties the furniture was valued ut about £ 400 , the books at £ 100 . About £ 50 worth of plate , china , vtc . i were saved . The jury , after being absent an hour out of the box , returned a verdict for the plaintiff , allowing £ 10 for his interest in he house , £ 85 for the furniture and £ 10 for the books .
Swansea ( South Wales ) , Fbidat . Highway Robbery . —Charles Williams , 2 G , and William Morgan , 27 , wure indicted for highway robbery , with great personal violence , on the person of David Davies , from whom they were charged with steuling £ 170 in Bovereigni , half sovereigns , and silver , the property of the Governor and Company of Copper Miners in England . This WHS a robbery attended with circumstance * of great aggravation . The Company of Copper Miners have works at Morriston , three miles from Swansea , and for the last fifteen years have been in the habit of employing an old man , 82 years of age , named David Davies , to carry their post bag dail y from Swansea to tho works . Once u week he was in the habit of bringing money from the Glamorganslure Bank in Swansea , with which to pay the wage * Of the workmen at the copper works . About ten o ' clock
on the morning of the 15 th July , he attended the bank , when the cashier put £ 170 in sovereigns , half-sovereigns and silver m thepust-bag , which he locked , and delivered to the old man , who left the hank with a view of going to the works . About eleven o ' clock in the morning he had reached a place called 1 'lacsmawr , two miles from the town of SwaiiBua , and a place in the immediate vicinity of which were extensive copper works and collieries , —a spot apparentl y by no means well suited for the commission of a robbery , especially during broad daylight . Here the old man was attacked by two or three men , one of whom cut the strap by which the post-bag was fastened around his shoulders ; he was immediately blindfolded by means of a kind of cloth which was thrown around hit face , beai and kicked most violently until he became insensible , and thrown to a culvert which passed under the road on that
spot ; there happened to be but little water at that dr \ sen 60 n of the year passing through the culvert . This sounds of groaning attructed the attention of some per . sons who passed that road , and on looking under the culvert , they perceived the old man , whom they at once recognised as the Forest Works postman . They took him out ; he was in a shocking state of exhaustion , and when he recovered himself , he informed them of the circumstances attending the robberj . From some information received by Inspector llees , of the Swansea police force—a very active officer—he took both prisoners into custodv that night at Llauclly , a place twelve miles distant from Swansea ; one being in bed in a vagrant lodging-house and the other
in bud in a public-house . The case , as against Morpan , depended chiefly upon tho evidence of the old man , who positively swore to his identity as the person who first attacked him , and cut off the strap . The only other evidence being that he was at Swansea that morning , and found at Llanelly in the evening , the spot being situated ( though not the direct road ) between those places . The evideuce against the prisoner Williams was entirely circumstantial : two coppermen , named Williams ! ) w-ir 'show » 1 " » "fc « " »«•» that thej met the prisoner i » illiams ) onthcroad , nbout thirty yards from the cul-* m . in company with two | other niun and a woman , but they could not say whether one of thtiu was the otlwr pri-

toner . It also appeared that Williams had called for Morgan at the house in which the latter lodged . about two hours before the perpetration of tlie crime ; while the lining of a hat was found iu the culvert iu which the old man was found , and » n cvaininuiiuii the lining was found wanting in Williams' hat aim it . ould not , however , be ascertained whether the body and lining found would correspond , as the policeman had somehow lost the latter . There were some other unimportant circumstances disclosed . After an hour and a half ' s deliberation , the jury found both prisoners Guilty , whereupon Mr . Justice Wightman sentenced them to transportation for life . Reading , Tuesdat . ..
Charge of Manslaughter . —Thomas Fowler , 4 G , surrendered to an indictment charging him with the mans aughterof John Burnett , at Abingdon . It appeared that the deceased , who had formerl y worked for Mr . Fowler , went to his malt houses on the day named in the indictment , and abused and threatened him . Amannamadlliddleton , who was there , saw Barnectputhis fists up to strike prisoner , who t « ok a molt shovel and struck deceased on the side of the head , unfortunatel y inflicting so much injury as ultimately to cause death after an interval of five days . The witness Middlrton , in reply to the judge , said deceased was ueur enough to strike Fowler at the time he put up his hands , and that it appeared to him that Fowler , who picked up the shovel on the instant , only meant to defend himself from the attack . The judge stopped the case and directed an acquittal .

ot the dressing-room , who , fearing something had happened , directed witness to fetch a chisel , with which they torced the door open , and on enteri they discovered the deceased on his knees , with a frightful wound in his throat , from which the blood was issuing copiously . There was a razor lying on the table , smeared with blood . Mrs . Shaw placed a silk apron in the wound , whilst witness ran for medical assistance . Mr . Boddy attended with promptitude , but he gradually sunk , and died about two o clock in the afternoon . Witness had frequently observed the deceased weeping and excited , exclaiming , " It will be so until tlie 1 st of March ; " and he would often refer to some property which he said he was fearlul ot losing by the anticipated American War .
Mr . Shaw , a solicitor , here stated that tbe deceased had considerable property in the Pujet Sounds , and also in the Hudson ' s Bay Stock , which he had Borne idea would be affected by the American War . Deceased was , consequently , much in the habit of crying when in the presence of his wife , who remonstrated with him and endeavoured to console him , but ho was evidently in an unsound state of mind , Mr . W . II . Boddy , surgeon , stated that he was called in on the morning in question , and found the
deceased on the floor with a wound in the throat about seven inches in length . The gullet , and all the branches of the neck were separated , and he had lost about three quarts of blood ; witness sewed up the wound , but he became violent and died about two o ' clock from the effect of the injuries . The symptoms , subsequent to the wound , were certainly l ndicative of insanity . There being no further testimony , The coroner remarked on the distressing nature of the evidence , after which the jury returned a verdict ot "Temporary Insanity . "
