These volumes are published as a sequel to " Leeson," abook that created amusation a few years ago, partly on amount of the previous literary reputa ble of be abhor, and partly from the character of *AI r? J its eccentric treatment. A consider di e at eve of the two volumes before us win d* ele aback upon all those critics who have beil awboby to tibsent from Mr. Barrow's pe se/he Vim& He less been attacked, he tells us, " halm be is a geedkwan and a scholar, and has not lb pewee bell also the courage to write WOW Web i" and be thus prosseds to illustrate hie paismissis to the tithe be Aim by showering Ornara Ow =set nanwesuriti abatis aeon tho heads of " A certain set of individuals," we bas a. l, kites attacked • Lavamgro' with much viru lent, sad mho' ee' but Ow/ are vipers," and it is Barrow's intention to ' , had them up by their and show the amiss wriggling, with blood awi haw sgrawriag *OM their Woken jaws."

We say this in all good feeling to Mr. Borrow,ksowing him to boa man of great and varied attainments; though it is to be regretted that a little smodsety has not been added to his other endow ments. " To= son is • clever young man," said an University Tutor to an inquiring father ; " indeed he is a very clever young man ; but"—and here came an ominous shake of the head—" he is by no means the clever young man be thinks himself." And the game may be said of the eccentric author whose first and best work was " The Bible in Spain, " and whose last mid worst is decidedly " The R omany Bye." ha Mr. BOTIVIeII fictions for fictions they tttare —we Ind • similarity to our old novel shape of nearly all the adventures taking vim SI ISM or upon the roads, and also in their ammiest tess—a coarseness that the " learning MIA labialise& page is thickly bespattered cannot sitsgstlm 11/001/11. But here all comparison with &IN great masters of fiction must end. Of powerful writing there is a plenty; but at skilful delineation of English character as it saints or did exist we have little or none. It is Mr. iserow that we hear talking under whatever dis pels* ObtaSs or dress it may please him to aasume. Fir a Partridge, Adams, Black George, Squire Wesley Towwouse, or T rulliber, we look in vine sal is their place we are presented with brown-faced It':who talk philosophy while they mend ket with a tall fair-hatred Amazon, w . ho lives in a Ilksiread-easy fashion with a young gentleman who bee opened shop in the farriery line in a secluded dingle—a lady described as all beauty and grace one moment, and giving • fellow a "drubbing" the next. " Lor :" exclaims one of her admirers, " how, With her right band, she fibbed MC, whilst she held me sawail the neck with her left arm." Then we have • handtical "man in black," who is a coarse arkature drawn by the band of prejudice, and a variety of landlords, horsedealers, ninnies, jockeys, and ostlers—all talking very cleverly, but not at all, we should imagine, as gipsies, jot keys, and ostlers are in the habit of talking. These conversations, with sundry digresoknv miggested by the antipathies of the author, make up • book full, lan war are informed in the Appendix, of the MOM wiedom, which only envy, hatred, and all emehmitahleneas upon the pert of the critics prevent them from finding out. " The Homuny , Rye," though in a lesser degree than " Lavengroe contains much powerful writing; scene of the descriptions are excellent.

There is capital writing to be found in the Apron dig, which occupies nearly a fourth of the book, the chapters upon gentility being eepecially good. The chapter upon ' Foreign Nonsense," contains much that is truc,and more that is absurd ; bat the author's attack upon the Scottish nation in general, and Sir Walter Scott in particular, becomes harmless from it. violence. But with all his aatipadkim," Mr. Borrow's course is the tame. lie km at the mouth, brandishes his arms and hurl all kind of tongue-mieviles at his opponents.

A concert, the first of a series of three, waa given by this usociation at the Hanover-square Rexene last AM. lag, sad was attended by a numerous audience. The flat put wee a cantata, entitled Italiti e liaghilterra, composed by Biwa DoCtesini, the celebrated performer on the contra basso, and performed under his direction. The poem is in • patriotic spirit, celebrating the blessinp which would arise from the friendship and union of Italy with England. The music consists of an introductory chortle, a romans and an aria, finishing with a repetition of the chorus. The soles were effectivity Jung by Madame Florentine and Madame Ferretti ; and the chorus and orchestral parts were well per formed. The [llll4O was quite in the modern opera style ; the airs bring smooth and melodious, and the choral portion in plain harmony, without any intricacy of *instruc tion, but bold, resonant, and appropriate to the subject. Alto gether the piece did honour to Signor Dotterine's Waste as • compmer. There WA/ after...oda a long miscellaneous concert, in which a number of *Jeri and instrumental per formers took part, all of them, except Signor Itegorali, strangers to the English public. A duct on two piano fortes was performed by Signora Strati:Akre and Litalai, on themes from the Treciatd. The composer wet not men tinned, Lot the piece was showy, and brilliantly played. There wore also fantasimt on the trombone, the Lute, the pianoforte, and the violin ; all of them com posed, we presume, by the performers. S..mo of them were very cleverly played ; the solo on the trom bone especially, by a Signor Mahout, who ha. a fine tone and groat ezecutlon. Madame Fut retti rang an air by Pooch, arvampeniod by Signor Regandi on tin con certina ; and Hdllo. de Pinto* sang the eternal °II Acgreto per *err Mice." Both them ladies have contralto vet" and . sing very well. Everything was tenet heartily applauded. We observe that, et the wend concert, on the 24th June, there la to be • cantata odlel " Honour to Slotkapssre, - the poetry by Megginni and the music by Schwa; and, at the third, nu the 16th of July, another cantata, "Honour to Dante," the poetry by Mr. John Ounford and the 1341211.

Some short time after Mr. Turner, the !solicitor, and Mr. Drew, an accountant, came in.

The goods wore brought down into the marking room lay Meredith, our warehouretutut, tmd I raw them there on that day. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l have karma May about four or fire months. We buy goods from a great many people. Ido not know Myers. I never saw him until I 'saw him in court. I never bought goods of him through an agent. I buy many other things as well as handkerehiefe. I buy for three or four different departments. Ido not know if Myers has mid goods to any of our other departments. I travel in the City to buy gook. We have bought goods of a great many houses of long standing, very frequently at a very cheep rate, and of houses, the respectability of which no one would think of questioning. Wes have bought goods of such houses at as great • discount as in tide instance, and greeter. Some of them come and oiler their goods to u. I have bought this class of goods of other houses at an low a rate, and they are houses that have stood the etorm and are still going on.

Alderman Ilumphery—You have not known that caber houses have been 112 difficulties when you have bought emir goods at 421 per cent. discount ? Witness—No, sir. But from the terms upon which the goods were said to us we supposed they were premed. Such pressure might induce manufacturers to sell their goods at se low a price, but it would not induce other wholesale house to ems and sell to us. Mr. Martin—l enppose you never ink any gustier!' ? Witmer—Cert y sot, if it is are gards's% person; kart if • Munger were to eozne to rte we should make a gust many inquiries, and if not mad...tory we should not pay Ile the goods, but return them. r. Lawson, readied, mid—Mr. M'Cullagh introdtieed me to Taylor, sad I wrote in reply to his letter of the 246 of January, in which he offered to guarantee us the acankle at 4 per cent., to say that pa he knew the parties aTII would bell to and would take their bilk without a panatela. I did not agree to an his guarantee at 4 per cent. I had • cheque from Taylor for 76t. 12e. Bd., I pr It into the Bank of London on the 15th of last month nd it wen paid before it was due. That was for goods be had sold to Co take and Moore, for which he got the matey, and be bed therefore no right to and me this cheque. All the in voices were sent with the Utters produced. The first account sake, dated the 12th of October, were for 278/. 19.., and the terms being for 2 months' coedit the account fell due on the 10th of December, and was paid. The next transaction was for 3846, in February. I saw Taylor for the fine time on the 11th of April, and I told him It was a bad, unfortunate job, but I did not tell him to sell the handkerchiefs that were left in his warehouse, to the amount of 1,000 dozen. I took them away, hot there was no compliment in his allowing me to take away my own goods. They remained at his ware house after I saw loin, until I sold them to swallow. the value of them woe about 2001. The goods I sold on the 12th are the same that were mid to N eeking on the 13th of March. The invoices bear the same date. The invoice of the goods 'sold to Meeking on the 12th of February are the same goods referred to in Taylor. invoice to me of the 14th of February, and those of the 13th and 15th of March are the same mentioned in Tavlor's invoice to me of March 28. Croft -examined by Mr. Huddiestone—The invoice price of the goods sold to Meeking varied from 2s. 4d. to 9s. 6d. per door.. I do not know the average price of the 1,000 hand kerchief/I, but it was altogether something over 200/. The dis count I took off those gook we 23 per cent. Mr. Hereby, easistant to Taylor. said—l recollect Lawson's geode corning in and goingaway ; but, es farm I could tell, it was not resible for Mr. Taylor to know they were going to Meeking a. If it had been known in the shop, I moot also have known it ; but I did not know that such was the cam until about five days ago, when I made inquiries of Fardell. Whentheee goods were taken away from Taylor's warehouse I thoaglot they were going to May's. Mr. .Cull b . recalled, said—l wrote to Taylor the letter produced, dated the 16th of Mart, stating that I did not use why he should take up Gorman's samples while be had sous of mine always at band ; and Taylor's letter et the 18th of March is the SUMOe to it. The exprenion in that letter of " Yon stick to me with goods and I will to you," referred to my complaint of his pelting for Gorman, to the prejudke of my goods ; and what ha meant by it wen that he did nut want to sell for Oafffill as long as I kept him sup plied with goods. Alderman Ilarephery—But his selling Gorman's goods could not prejudice you, as they were sold at 44 per cent. discount. Evans, recalled. aid—The cheques annexed to this invoice were paid in reference to the goods mentioned therein. They are dated the 12th of February for 1306 and 1021. le., and are signed by Mr. Mcekusg. The chew for 1061.55. 6d., dated the 13th of Marsh, was signed by Mr. Meeking, and *d in reference to the goods in the invoice of that date. The two cheques produced, dated the lea of March, for 801. lie. 3d. and 24i. 30. 9d. were also atoned by Mr. Meeting, and paid in respect at the invoice of the mune date. The reason or paying the amount b two cheques was this .--May owed an account for fursiture, and the cheque for 241. 3s. Bd. was made out to balance that acommt, and crosmd to Jones Loyd and Co., so that it might be headed back to no by May in payment of that account. All three ch have been returned to paid. iK e us Morgan said that was the oats for the proeseution, upon which he asked for a committal of the primates. Mr. Wontner replied upon the evidence on behalf of May, contending that Myers was the partner of May, and was, ha Act, ble for the ood& Mr n i l dlegone, on behalf of Taylor, also =tended that T/or had reason to look to Myer; am a and that he wee ignorant of the fact that rea rrel l e ble hardi the goods to Meoking. He commented snmgly on the im propriety of purchasing goods of doubtful or ft ft g trades men open such terms. - • - • - •- - - • • - • Mr. Hawkins then, on behalf of hiyma, euntatded that him client, who was a wealthy man, might have been coed in • civil court for the valued" them goods, but could not be charged with any mitninal complicity with Taylor or lisy. Aldermen Hamphary adjourned the case till yesterday, when, having airaNny gone through the whole of the evi dence in the interim, he delivered his decision in the follow ing terms . . . . The charge sealant the defendants is for conspiring toge ther to defraud Mr. Gorman end Mr. Lawson of their goods, and a charge of this nature is very difficult to establish. It Is only by a careful consideration dell the circumstances that it car be brought home to the pieties. However, it is not my intention to go into mil the minute details which, front the tmwillingsess of witnesses, have rendered this cue so cosepliested. I have carefully considered all the circum stances as affecting the defendants individually and as being connected with each ether, and my opinion in Gorman's cam is, that all the defendants acted together in concert to get pcnemalon of the goods—May first, though Taylor *Saudi, to get the goods, but upon Gorman refining to sell to Taylor writes to say Myers will buy them at the term., 27 &mount, and Gorman accepts Myers ae a purchaser, accordingly sands the goods to Taylor, who on the same day that they arrive delivers them to May at the ware house trot by Wpm and May. 'Ms was on Sa turday, the fillth of March, snd on Monday, the 30th, May takes the goods to Mr. Meekink's, and sells them at something like BO per oat. tinder the Invoice price made out by Gorman. May receives the proceeds, and out of that very mosey he pays Myers a turn he is indebted to him, but for what it doss not appear ; and he pays Taylor 10111., brat Tay lor does sat send that smount to Storm= until he ilode it likely to be found out. I think the goods might have boss geld at a better pekoe, but it doss not appear that any at =was made by the defendants to sell them in any other As regards the character of May's conduct in this truneatien it is so apparent that I need not dwell upon that part of the our It I. equally clear that Myers lends Ms name to Taylor, which enables him to get these goods, and that May was so connected with Myers and Taylor in hod sees that it was neat to impontible for them not to know hie transactions or for any of them to be ignorant that them goods went to blinking's. What, them, is Taylor's position? He writes on the 7th of April to my that May intercepted the goods, and on the 11th he tells Gorman that May gat the goods when ho was out; and thee. is no doubt that Taylor knew en the 7th of April that the goods had gone to Making's, for he writes on that day to my that May bad sold the goods for Myers and Co., whereas Hairby, Taylor's confidential clerk, says that Taylor did not know where the goods went until five days ago, which is very improbable. Mr. Hairby—l said that in reference to Lawson's goods, not with regard to Gorman's. Alderman Humphery—Now if May really did intercept the goods, it wee a steeling oeycad all doubt, and if Myers and Taylor had entertained honourable intentions in this matter, they would have applied to a magistrate for a warrant to ap prehend May upon that charge, and if May had been given into custody Gorman would unquestionably have recovered hie goal. from Messrs. Meeking, who, as they . had been stolen from Taylor, would have had to have given them up not that I pramme Mr. Meekingknew they had been stolen —.till he would have had to have made restitution if such a course bail been adopted. It is rather curiow thst the counsel for Taylor endeavoured to cast the responsibility of this transaction upon Myers, while the counsel for the latter tried to Taylor with the criminal liability ; but it is a melancholy fact in my opinion that earth focilitieo are offered for dishonest traders m a large commercial city like London, to obtain goods to such a large amount and sell them at so much behnee the value. And I think there is some want of due diligence on the part of Mr. Necking'. buyers in not making more inquiry, for after the first trannaction they must have had moue idea that the goods could not have been honestly come by to he Fold at the price they were. Under all the circumstances I think it any duty he Fend the ease fur trial, whore Taylor and Myers will haw as opportunity of justhying themselves, and I hope they may acquit themaeltha in the eyes of spay. . . Mr. Pontifes, on behalf of Mr. Ueekina. ■aid ho woo pre pared to render all pessible assistanee and information in this prooemben, and hail dote so from the firi.t. The prisoners were then committed for trial, Tayl, r and bLyers bsmg bailed in the WOO amount as before, and May, in default, wu conveyed to Senate. It was rumoured that Taylor's friends intend to move for a certiorari to remove the trial Into the Court of Queen's Reach. THE DANK DEFALCATION AT FALKIRK. Mr. Henry Salmon, who for a pericsl of nearly 40 years leas been agent for the Conituercial Bank here, has been charged with the embezzlement of lsrge sumo of money bel coring is the bank. Mort of our readers know the posi tion Mr. Selman held in the town. He wee fl justice of the peace, an elder of the church, until recently he held the situ ation of peatinamter, he Las been for the last ten years chair loan of the parochial beard, and was at one time proceed of the burgh. He woo, and has been for a long time chairman of the femme ; he woo a landed proprietor in the parish, and took an active jort in all public affairs connected with the town. Mr. Salmon was the metre of raising the money for defraying the expense of putting the High-street into its present excellent condition ; and be had his por trait painted by the president of the Scottish Aca demy, and a valuable Ancor ipergne presented to him by the inhabitants for the exertion.. he made for street improvements. It appears, however, that while be occupied such an influential pooition in relation to the public, and while ho war oaten/ably so actively engaged in the pub lic service, he had been pursuing a systematic course of fraud with reference to the bank with which he was connected. }tumour asserts that his defideatione amount to between 23,000/. and 26,000 L, and as this has not been officially con tradicted, there is every reason to believe that the aincomthes not been overstated. The defalcation during the last year is set down at 2,0001., and it is said that the embezzlement ex tends over a period of seventeen years. There have been a gnat many hypothesirw advanced with the view of accounting for the manner in which Mr. Salmon succeeded in concealing his frauds from the bank. It is well known that the system of inspection followed by the Scotch banks is of the most rigid choracter, and itis difficult to conceive how he could have con trived to shield his delinquencies from such a scrutiny. By the system which is said to have been pursued by Mr. balmon, however, the money, or at all events a considerable portion of it, did not appear in the bank books at all; 00 that no inspection, however minutely conducted, could detect the fraud, and it was by accident it was ultimately diroovered. On Tuesday week while Mr. Salmon was Arent at Stirling, attending the Licensing Court as a justice of the peace, the tank inspector arrived at Falkirk on an inspecting tour. In the book safe, it is raid, he discovered a book or sheet which revealed, to Nome extent, the true position in which Mr. Salmon stood to the bank. The inspector at once communi cated with the management in Edinburgh, and the conse quence was the immediate suspension of Mr. Salmon from his office of agent.
