Here is a work which ought to excite as much eurimity as the memoirs of a Southey or Leigh Hunt; and yet we hawse nut one out of a handled of our readers will recognise the name of the writer. }Tow fatal a policy continued anonymity is fur a literary man 1132111 . Ver NO atrikiu lyexemp lifi e d .l'or genius, snua induatry, and a devotion to literature, which nothing could deaden or destroy, Mr. (fillies might worthily rank as a compeer of the men we have named. His productions have been very varied, and have exercised a decided influence on his gene ration; and yet, outside purely literary circles, his name is namely known. Many . of his best writings are uncollected, others of them inaccessible, and not a few, it would appear. altogether lost. Either the MSS. have been destroyed; or of some which were privately prhited, not a copy is known to exist! Never has literary man been so careless' of the future as Mr. Oillies. The improvidence of which they are mewed in money matters, has, in his ease extended to the name and Genie which they generally hold ws dear. No epecies' of unthnft is so certain to be avenged and repented of. It is all very well, so long as such a mien can abide among the scenes and mix with the friends of his youth ; but when death has taken the one and ;haws. removed him from the other, he finds himself in age and exile, a stringer to the new generation ; friendless and obscure, where he ought to be esteemed and honoured. And worst of all, he feels that for this he himself is principilly to blame. had he taken hut ordinary care of his reputation; had he given his best works to the public in a distinctive form, and with his own name, few would rival him in popu larity. Old friends might die off, or be estranged; but the New generation would supply their place, nut with regard only, but with that reverence which the young in literature naturally feel for the old. .A conscious nese of all this necessarily throws a shade of hitter neon and despondency over what would otherwise be a meet genial and attractive work. It is, indeed, peculiarly painful to be let. as we are, into the secret of Mr. (fillies' regrets; because never slid Leman being more signally merit a better fate. Ilesdiows himself in these memoirs, and we have reason to know, has been throughout a long life, the gemieel• kindest, must generous, unselfish, en thusiastic. and warm-hearted of men. We query if there was ever a man so thoroughly der seed to literature, and yet lie free from the worst views as distinct from the foibles to which the literary character is subject, -in a word, so perfectly amiable as Mr. Gillis.. What man more worthy of an honoured and prosperous old age? Dictated as they ought to have been, amid the tom-, hal and repose which old age demands, and which NU IN , II spent a life deserved, these memoirs might have been one of the must beautiful hooka of the age. There 'redol nothing but full play to the frunkness, amiability, and wo must not forget to add, wisdom and experienee of the writer. But this, alas, he has nut had. The work has plaiuly been written under ninst unfavourable eirtumstances, with out that rase and leisure,—nay, even without that au cc- sto his own and others' writings which is indispensable to the literary historian. Hence a diffuseness in some places, and in others a Lenent able brevity or u total silence regarding %hut would have b e en meet gencially interesting to the public of sew day. 'flie only way to produce such a work wills sues INN—the only MAIMS of tdovisiting the gar rulousness and inequality which attend mu the runti ness nets oruld age is to write at great length, and then reduce the matter to half.

And hence we have a sketch or a torso, in stead of a work of that force and finish which might have been repeats( from the stuthsr under more Lwow shit. eumetanees, and which might have tended in mime degree to repair the neglect which his own improvidence and the tald'e ingratitude have Nought upon his name.

Possibly, however, the work has designed principally for the authorhs country , sad in that cue it would not have been jMil s to omit these sketches of the ecoentric person , who flourished in Scotland half a century ----------- The whole gallery of the Edinburgh philosophes is psined in review. We hive only room for the sketch done, not a few of whose political peculiarities may be attributed to his being brought up at the feet of such Gamsliels: During my time (not in but two years later) one of the most lively and facetious debaters in the dingy old I of .• the Speculat," was our present prime minister. I doubt nat that Lord Jolut Russell, young as he then was, thought the mock dignity and solemnities of the society rather quantal. However, he kept up his attendance, and eMerfolly took part io its goiugs-on. His lordship possibly may remember those meetings like shadowa or glimp ses out of ream-land;d and possibly, too, may have wished that he could recall the past and escape from the turmoils of ottlee to the quietude of his drawing-room, well-stored with books, at good old Professor Playletr s, or from the glare of St. Stephen's tee the twilight glimmer of the debating-hall aforesaid. I recollect some of those evenings —one in par ticular — when a hapless member had b een appointed to a the part of advocate for Queen Mary ; how Lord John did cut him up, and, by aff.cted t pity and sly sarcasms, demo lished all chance of acquittal or that unhappy printers,—at least within the walls of " the Speculative." Seeing that the important events of our " time-life " may often be traced back to very trifling causes, the hvpo thesis is natural and unavoidable that possibly Lord John Russell would never have accepted the cares of office, if he had not suce.msfulle spoken, as many eminent men had done before him, within the humble arena of this in,titu lion. By-the-bye, I must not leave out out of its remark able characteristics, namely, that members already risen to eminence and in full employment, held it in such kindly remembranc ,, , that they would reappear on the held, and resume their parts, as if grown young again. Of this Jeffrey &traded a remarkable instance. I think the most imaginative and effective speech I ever heard from him was made at one of those chance visits to the Speculative Society. Of Sir Walter Scott,oue of Gillies oldest and most intimate friends, there is less mention than might lime been anticipated. But this is owing to his baying . published, many years ago, a special volume of reminiszences of the great novelist ; which was, in effect, the first work in which his character and habits were faithfully delineated. There is a good deal about llogit : characteristic and amusing as everything told of that primitive being invariably is. llogg's influence on his generation was i much greater than could have been expected from so rough-grained and illiterate a man. Ile gave a stimulus to the Edinburgh wits, which a courtlier and more cultivated man might have failed to apply. Mr. Gillies does him no more than justice in the view which he takes of his charaCter. We come now to one. of whom the public know much le.ss than of the rather noisy and self•demon strative cliques of the northern Athens. Mr. Gillies was on intimate terms with Wordsworth, and his account of him will surprise many, even among the ------- - - admirers of the latter. But to return ; among convivial spirits no one could be more joint'. than Wordsworth; no one could enter more heartily and readily into the humours of the passing hour ; and among eminent authors no one could ever be found more willing than he was to make allowances for the faults of others, or to afford instruction whenever he met with a pupil I whine attai liment to literature was not founded on vanity et effeetati in. His own lofty and buoyant spirit very ob viously resulted from three causes—lst, natural energy of constitution and character; 2d. calmness and wisdom, founded on moral principles inflexibly hem; 3 d, of a course of training to hint become habitual, namely, the hydro gothic (though the name of Prieanits was not then dreamed of), for he d...lrsrlll wine and other fermented liquors, and every day climbed the mountains, composing his poems, and giving them utterance in the deepest tone of invocation and aspirated as he ascended. Truly it was a laborious sod joyous life, and it was needful for him to say—" labor ipsa rii;ilp , irs real," seeing that our excellent world under the exeneilary reigns of Charles the Second and James the Second, was not more obtuse to the poetical merits of John Milton than our modern world in the enlightened era of George the Fourth, to those of William Wordsworth. In Scotland, its already said, it had lean currently believed that our Eihsesscilli Sissies , hail lig ever demolished his pry tensions; and it could only be by a species of mono 11117111iA that he continued travelling up bill in the teeth of those niereili <ft blasts from the cold north! It would, how ever, Is• itnpoasible in any words to do justice to the calm ness) of contempt with which Wordsworth regarded such attacks. In Isis own words applied to Milton— ' Ili. ..Ka ea. nee aat a and dwelt apart." How eompletely his Rennes triumphed at last:lnd established its empire over the public mind " fur all time," it would be very needless to say. My recollection is vivid of his brief sojourn at Edinburgh in 1811. I cannot overlook how, on the day of tin arrival, I was kindly invited to meet him at dinner, by the late Mrs.Wilein ; and having 'Mr. C. K. Sharpe and another friend already engaged, din moi, it was arranged that they should join the party; and how that other friend (a brother advo cate) olsert iig that the poet during dinner did not say mush, benevolently thought that lie must patronise him anti draw hint nut, then by assuming a lead is the conver sation : and what and blunders resulted, and how the port hineself, Mr. Sharpe and the family, with whom wi. dined, were at Length convulsed with laughter; whilst, for my own part, I tilt indignant and wrathful at such well-intese tioned hot unsuitable demonstration's. It was kindly agreed that the afternoon and evening of nest slay .41./1111 he ;riven to my insignificant self; and by agreement also Mr. Wordsworth came at two o'cleck. is order to join in my then favourite walk to the top of Coe torphin Hill. whither we were accompanied by Mrs. Words worth, Mss Hutchinson, and Mr. James Wilson. Gladly, should I record the whole of that day's conversation, o f which, however, only the heads or leading drift remain on my mind. It was not difficult to discern that my humble ] admiration of poets, and preference of literary pursuits, were at least sincere ; also, that I had already adopted on these matters certain dual notions, which were radically wrong; and this negative qualiticatiou was a quite sufficient incentive to Mr. Wordsworth, duriug a three hour' walk, to expoac such errors and illustrate the truth (as in after ] years by his kind letters he continued to do). In his own ' words again, as applied to Milton, he could " lay on himself the lowliest duties," and so would try to enlighten the humblest tyro, provided he found a willing and attentive auditor. Acconlingly we carried on an animated debate, 1 which never for an instant tliiaticdi These remarks are followed by several letters of ' Wordsworth, remarkable for their calm good e•ense and searching criticism, and from which we would gladly extract if our spuee permitted. It is due to Mr. Chilies to mention that he shines peculiarly in treating of those' towards whom the world has been prejudiced and unjust. The follow ing is the best sketch we have seen, of one of the must remarkable and least appreciated men of the a During the winter of 13fisl6 (or tha next) Mr. De Quinces. accompanied his friend, the author of the '• Isle of l'allTl4," from Westmoreland to Edinburgh. I had then an opportunity of observing the literary character in an entirely new phasis, fur up to that tame, Dr Quincy, though he had spent long years in assiduous study, and by his friends was regarded as a powerful author, had not, so fat as I know, published a single line. Uc marina!, indeed, ' to live for the sake of the labour alone, and to ding over- ' board all considerations either of the patina or petunia. His various literary compositions, written in his exemplary hand tits. lost I ever saw, except Southev's) on little oceans I of piper, must have reached to a great; extent, but in his own estimation they were by no means " ready for the prow ;" like an over-cautious general, he withheld his tire,' and nonainsd "toultit ut putehra mints." Not only for I this reasen, but in other respects, Mr. De Quincey seemed to me to bring nut the literary character in a new light. I Very deeisirely he realised my plan of moving in a sepa rate world (having no doubt realities of its own) ; moo over,he neither spoke nor acted in the every-day world like an, one else, for which, of course, I greatly honoured him. lie was then in the habit of taking opium daily as an article of food, and the drug, though used for years, had ] scarcely begun to tell on his constitution, by those effects' which, «oiler or later • overtake every one of its persevering ] votaries; and which, when they once appear, make quick work in demolishing together the man physical and the man intellectual ; the latter being reduced to the pitiable plight of a musician who essays to play by means of a harp unstrung and broken. But in his case, it had not worked any such evils as yet, and in after rear% though not with oat a long and tough battle, Mr. De . Quincey succeeded in vanquishiug the narcotic devil. His voice was extraordinary; it came as if from dream lend ; but it was the most musical and impresaire of voices. In convivial life, what then seemed to me the moat re markable trait of De Quincey's character was the power be sad of easily changing the tone of ordinary thought conservation into that of his own dream-land, till his auditors, with wonder, found themselves moving pleasantly along with hum in a sphere of which they might have heard and read, perhaps but which had ever appeared to them inaccessible, and ea., far away ! Seeing that he was always good-natured and social, he would take part, at commence ment, in any sort of tattle or twaddle. The talk might be of " beeves. ' and he could grapple with them if expected to do so, but his musical cadences were not in keeping with mach work, and in a few minutes (not withoutsome strictly logical sequence) he could escape at will from beeves to butterflies, and thence to the sours immortality, to Plato, and Kant, and Schelling. and Fichte, to Milton's early years and Shakspeare's sonnets, to Wordsworth and Cole ridge. to Homer and Eschylus, to St. Thomas of Aquin, St. Basil, and St. C hry sostom. But he by no means ex. eluded themes from reel life, according to his own views of that life, but would recount profound mysteries from his own experieneee—visions that had come over him in his loneliest walks among the mountains, and passages within his own personal knowledge, illustrating, if not proving, the doctrines of dreams. of warnings, of second-right, and mesmerism. And whatsoever the subject might be, every one of his sentences (or of his chapters I might say) was woven into the most perfect logical texture, and uttered in a one of sustained melody. Sash powers and swinissamtis meld not fail to excite wonder at Edinburgh. He had, indeed, studied "all such books as are never read" in that enlightened capital, and was the tirst friend I had ever met who could profess to have a command over the German language, and who con sequently was able (es cathedra) to corroborate my notions of the great *totes that were contained therein. I flatter atylaf that he found our house not altogether uncongenial, at he WJa kind enough to visit there mere frequently than in any Mbar. There is a brief and capital sketch of Goethe; but the substance of this has, we believe, appeared in a former publication. Our last extract must be the vindication of one of the most misjudged and ill requited men of our day. Here, us always, Mr. Wks steps forward to the rescue, with a iaet and Massa which do him infinite credit. lip to the year 1827, and for some years afterwards, Dr. Magien retained all that buoyancy and elasticity of spirit for which, naturally, he was so remarkable, and which it thee seemed es if no trials or pressure could subdue. So little had his habits, either of daily . task-work or convivia lity, injured his nerves, that he enjoyed our excursion with all the zest of a !school-boy broke louse for a holiday. The only darkening trace left by his intercourse with the world and its ways were betrayed by his disposition to make sarcastic remarks on leading - characters of the day, sparing neither tory nor whig. et his was ever played kind of sarcasm, entirely free from any bitter alloy of misanthropy and rancour. To such feelings, indeed, he was of all men I ever knew the most impassive, insomuch that if his worst enemy had fallen into a state of suffering and distress, on hearing of the circumstances he would have hurried away at his most rapid pace to find out whether he could render any assistance. At this distance of time, to attempt recapitulating OUT conversation during • two miles' walk would be absurd; wild and desultory it was no doubt, • very perfect example of the style which the French call " abandon a" and yet I remember that some part of our talk turned on subjects which, it might have been supposed, were very much motel his way. The discussion, however, arose naturally enough, bee, as editor then of a new Quarterly Review, I hail received some elaborate papers on metaphysical subjects, by the contents of which I felt puzzled. if deep, they were not clear, either in matter or style ; and on this occa sion I felt astounded, as many of his friends must at other times have been, at the extent and variety of his reading, and the accuracy and readiness with which he could bring it to bear on any . analogous topic of the moment. Nut only mediaeval logicians, but fathers of the church, folios of St. Gregory, St. Buil, and St. Thomas of Aquino, which, judging by his usual occupations and disposition, he never could have opened, were even familiar to him. lie could cite their decisions on intricate questions, and under• take to point out the identical passages if needful. In Dr. Maginn's literary character there was one leading trait, which, during the course of a long life, i have rasp found to be of most rare occurrence—namely, that to great vivacity and quickness of apprehension and feelings ' he united patience, perseverance, and amenity of temper. For this virtue of perseverance, indeed. as applicable to any separate and exclusive line of study, his life in London, from its commencement to its untimely close, allowed him no opportunities whatsoever. In Ireaaud, us I believe, his position had been such, that by continuing his employment there he might have enjoyed a competent income, and yet have had wine hours daily at his cummaud for literary un dertakings; but London allured him, as it has allured hundreds of others, into its fatal vortex. The well-inttn. tioned, but not so well-judged, advice and iuvitations of friends, conspired to rivet his destiny. That perfect com mand which he seemed to exercise over his own facusties, the almost unexampled facility and readiness with which he could write in verse or prime on any given subject, ten dered his aid of pre-emineut value in periodical literature, but especially in productions of the daily and weekly press. The result naturally was, that engagement* in this depart ment were proffered to him, nay, crowded on his attention from the first week of his arrival in town. lie accepted such as a matter of course, and never afterwards, until dis abled by adversity and illness, was allowed to pause in his desultory career—a career, indeed, unworthy of his high I talents, and uncongenial to the real bent of his mind, winch I suspect was, even among his professing frieuela, but little underatuoil and appreciated. At our first meeting iu Edinburgh, when I earnestly pressed on his attention the plan of aujourniug there, he de signated himself as a mere "scrap writer," for which occu pation London, as he said, Worded the best field. The fare jarred on my cars then, as it does now. Too true it was, that in consequence of his daily engagements to the organs of a party, be had become a scrap writer, and not Irving any independent fortune, be never could emanci pate himself from the yoke. By talents, by acquirements, ay unconquerable patience and equanimity, "Legion was qualified for works of lung laborious research, and the nicest critical investigations. Nor was lie less capable of romantic and poetical invention. But a faultily depended on his exertions; the wants of the day and of the week must be supplied. lie must write, although intik; Minerra, on the topics of last night's debate, evanescent and paltry r their interest might be. The longest and must sustained efforts which circumstances allowed him to make, were only fugitive chapters for magazines and reviews. Patience and good humour might and did render this kind of life supportable; the burthen was borne with such apparent ease that byatandera did not suspect its weight; but by no landlady could such broken and desultory ap plication prove sanative, cheering, or in the long run pros perous. Ilia contributions to magazines had, no doubt, a liveliness and :Tree, joined with a command of language which few have equalled. And yet, these essays were for the most part, written so hastily, and under such pressure, that I have heard him avow again and again, with tran sient bitterness, that he searcely ever sent such papers to the printer without feeling au almost irrepressible impulse to throw them into the fire. It argued, indeed, but little presumption on the part of Maginies nearest friends and relatives if they sometimes entertained hopes that, after his long services and atedfast adherence to the tory party, he should be protected against such pressure. ut neither place nor pension, rarely even a well-tilled purse to meet an emergency, fell in his way. It is true eneugh that excuses can easily be made for the wealthy leaden, of that party; fur his own conduct was such as to leave them in ignorance of his real situation. Ilia constant habit of suppressing all notions of self, his cheerfulness and willingness, to be occu pied with engagementa which. did bring remuneration, however vacillating and inadequate, were enough to deceive Lookers-on, and lead them to talieve that lie had sufficient resources. During his last days of suffering, Sir Robert Peel, as on some former occasions, steed pre-eminent iu his kindness and liberality to this man of learning lied genius, I do nut forget that towards the same melancholy epoch the King of Hawser and Lord G. Somerset manifeated their s We ympathy. must not conclude, without expressing our hope that Mr. Gillies will not be forgotten, when next a pension falls at the disposal of her Majesty's ministers. No literary man of the day is more de serving of such a testituony of the national gratitude and respect. Ile has done more than any other man to popularise continental literature in this country. It' next May, we are found to be not alto gether strangers to the literature of any of the nations who shall visit us, it is to the many years' labour of Mr. Gillies that we prin cipally owe it. Let it not be said that they found the true herald and pioneer of this new cm uf inter national communion abandoned in his old age to poverty and neglect. Little as the English public know or care about Mr. Gillies, he has a continental reputation ; and our visitors next summer will look on his non-requital as little short of a national dis grace. We repeat that it was he above all men who effectually broke down the barriers of our insular exclusiveness, so far as literature is concerned. And thebresent is peculiarly the time to appreciate the value of such a service. lt.suwAY ExcettatoNs.—Yesterday, the Shore ditch terminus presented a scene of extraordinary hustle in consequence of the multitude arriving by the excursion trains from Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Isle of Ely, and Essex. The Colchester line train came in shortly after twelve o'clock, bringing nearly 1,000 passengers. At two o'clock about 1,100 were brought by the Cambridge district line, the train consisting of 38 carriages. These results are indications of the spirit of the new executive, especially when contrasted with last year's policy, owing to which there were nu holiday trains at this season, greatly to the regret of the inhabitants of the eastern district, and equally detrimental to the lien:rest' of the company, fur the working expenses of these trips are ascertained to be but a small per tentage on the aggregate receipts derived faom them. The Brighton, the South Eastern, and the South Western lines also displayed a great increase in the number of their pa trons, although the weather was far from favourable. EPISCOPAL CAPITCLAR ESTATES.—Lord Car lisle has brought 14 bill into the House of Lords, which ban just been printed, for the management of episcopal and en pitular estates and revenues in England and Wales. There are as many as 112 clauses iu the bill, the object of which is to give effect to the recommendations, iu a modified form, contained in two reports to her Majesty, by the commis sioners appointed some time back to inquire into the reve nues arising from the real property of the church, and also into the incomes of the archbishops and bishops, so as best to secure to them fixed instead of fluctuating annual in comes. It is proposed that the Church Estates Commis sioners shallbo comminsioners for the purpose of executing the intended art They may ausamins 'and examine wit - - atom ; and their reports on the property of the church, as to leases and other mutters, may be confirmed or varied by her Majesty in council. All episcopal Mates are to be un der the management of the commissioners, and salaries and incidental expenses arc to be defrayed out of the revenues of the sees in respect of which they are incurred. It is also proposed that after existing incumbencies the corn minipump may pay fixed incomes to er e bishop. The measure has reference to the property ves7 in the Ecclesi astical Commissioners, and has been framed in accordance with the suggestions set forth in the report to the Queen church matters.

MANSION-NOISE. We.. Burgess, omnibus conductor, No. 1,540, was sum moned by Alderman Canlen before Alderman Lawrence upon the charge of having refused to show his metal ticket. The defendant at once pleaded guilty, and begged par don of the sherif f for hating suffered himself to be so excited on the occasion as to be unable to act respect- fully. Alderman Carden said—l was in an omnibus in Cheap side, going towards the West-end, and in consequence of a conversation which I heard between two parties, who, it was evident, were strangers to London. and the conductor, I interfered, and asked the gentlemen whether they did not say they wished to go to the building at Hyde-park, ' for if they did the omnibus in which they were would not take them to that destination. The conductor immediately said to me, in the must insolent manner, "What's that to you? What right have you to interfere? You are not the conductor, are you ?" I told him that he was not justified in telling the passengers that his omni bus was going further than it really was, and he pro ceeded in a still more rude and impertinent manner to abuse me for interfering, and said that I told a falsehood. I asked him for his metal ticket, and he turned it round and put it behind him, and told me to look at it there. Im mediately a fterwards, however, he got a hint from some body that I was one f the sheriffs, and the suddenness of the change in his manner was quite surprising, for nothing could exceed his respectful solicitude about me. (Laughter.) He hoped I was not made uncomfortable by the little affair that had taken place, and he did me the favour of a call neat day, when he renewed his assurances of respect and anxious care about me. It is peculiarly incumbent upon those who know the town to cheek the spirit of imposition which will soon be in full work against the visitors to London as much as possible in every way. I could have taken out three summonses against the con ductor—one fur refusing to show his ticket, another for in solent language, and a third fur having attempted to de ceive his passengers ; but his MI:WM politeness and regret for having gone a little too far completely over powered me. (Laughter.) Alderman Lawrence—Well, defendant, do you wish to say anything ? Conductor—Nothing, sir, except that I had no idea of being in the least uncivil to the gentleman. (A laugh.) I am extremely sorry for the accident, but I war greatly ex cited. The fact is gentlemen think nothing of walking fire minutes farther than our omnibus goes, and we are obliged to get all the money we can in these times, or we have no chance of keepinv our plaice at all. That's the secret. Alderman Lawrence—You are fined ss. and costs. It is well for you that the complainant did not summon you for the two heavier offences. The conductor paid the penalty and departed. WESTMINSTER. Sir James Sutherland Marken:lc fart., was fined 10s. for drunkenness and disorder in ecower Grove, Brampton, and lett the court to attend Marlborough-street Police °thee, where another charge awaited him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Sir James Sutherland Mackenzie, fart., 4, Lower-grove, ' Brampton, was charged with being drunk and assaulting Le A, 199 C. The constable stated that on Sunday morning, about :1 o'click, lie was on duty in King-street, St. James's, when he saw the defendant, who was very drunk, standing in the middle of the road, and shouting, at the top of his voice, that Cardington's Club was bankrupt. Witness went up to hint, and civilly told hint he could not allow such a noise on a Sunday morning, when the inhubitants were asleep. The defendant immediately turned round and struck him with his left hand a blow on the chin, and with his right hand laid hold of his stock and [6.1 to throw him. Witless called for assistance, and u constable came to his aid, but the defendant was so exceedingly violent that they were obliged to send for the stretcher and strap the defen dant thereon before they could convey him to the station. The defendant absolutely denied the charge. Mr. Bingham said that was the third time defendant had appeared at this court. On the last occasion the constable who took him in charge was much hurt, and on the present occasion the constable was also hurt. He (Mr. Bingham) was afraid he was too lenient the last time, and should now commit him to the House of Correction for 21 days. SOUTHWARK. Conolly was charged with assaulting and wounding Charles Percival in so violent a manner, that serious appre hensions were entertained of saving his life. Mr. %Contrite attended on the part of Mr. Percival, who is at present in a very precarious condition, arising from the severe injuries inflicted upon him. Senn, days since Mr. Percival had occasion to appear at the court against a female who was cohabiting with the pris o ner, and who, un that occasion was convicted, owing to the evidence adduced against her. This latter circumstance weemwl to have excited a feeling of revenge in the breast of the pri soner,snd a few evenings since as Mr. Percival was walking along Newinttuu Causeway, he was met by his assailant, who taunted him with having been the means of having the woman alluded to punished. Mr. Percival however evinced no disposition to have an altercation on the subject, and was proceeding on his way when his assailant, who had an um brella in his hand, thrust the end of it with such violence into his mouth as to displace two of his teeth, and the !mint of it penetrated his throat, seriously wounding it. and causing a hemorrhage, which was with difficulty suppressed, The prisoner on finding the serious nature of the injuries lie had inflicted este:nal at the time, and abandoned his usual haunts, but was at length taken into custody. The prisoner, who said he would reserve his defence, was then remanded. LAMBETH, Charlev Denyarrl, and his wife, were charged with unlawfully pawning a pair of blankets, the property of James Smith, . . . . On Saturday morning the prisoners took apartments at the house of the prosreutor, and had not been there more than an hour when they went out together, and did not return for some time. f his conduct excited the suspicion of the prosecutor, who, in consequence, insisted upon exa mining the MOM, and then discovered that a pair of blankets bud hien taken from the bed. The prisoner: admitted that they had pledged the blan kets, being without money, and that they intended taking them out on the Monday. The magistrate was informed by Sergeant Goff that a number of robberies had latterly been committed by persons taking lodgings, and it appeared that besides the duplicate for the blankets of the prosecutor, six others were found on the male prisoner. Both the prisoners were remanded to give time to the po lice to make the necessary inquiries about them. The magistrate was engaged for nearly two hours in hear ing charge,. of vagrancy preferred against persons begging at the catholic chapel in St. George's-fields. The prisoners were committed to prison for seven days each. THAMES. Thomas .Vartin, a labourer, was charged with illegally plying for hire with a one-horse van, not having the num bered plate required by the 2nd and 3rd Will. IV., cap. 120. Mr. Yardley.—l suppose he is one of those who give penny and halfpenny ndes to and from the fair. It cer tainly is illegal ; they should have licenses. Inspector Smith.—They have been all cautioned, and some of the inhabitants seem to think it a great 111115411 CC. Mr. Yardley.—have you any instructions ou the point from your superior authorities? Inspector Smith.—We have instructions from Mr. May nard, our superintendent. Mr. Yardley.—You know it is fair time, and children take great delight in these halfpenny and penny rides. The act was passed for the purpose of protecting the reve nue, and I wish you would take instructions from some superior authority, before you proceed to carry• its provi sions into effect. . Inspector Smith.—Such charges have been brought to this court before, sir. Mr Yarilley.—l am aware of that, and I made similar observations last year. Though, strictly speaking, the law limn been violated, no detriment to the reve nue occurs, and I think in fair time the practice should be winked at. As the care, however, is before me, I must decide on it ; but I must als o remember, that if the law be strained too tightly, instead of operating bene ficially, it may sometimes become oppressive to the people. I am quite aware that several vehicles ply between here and Fieldgato-street, affording, at a very low charge to children and adults a species of enjoyment which they could seldom otherwise obtain. For my part I set no harm in it, though, if it were of every-day occurrence, or were practised in the crowded business places of the metropolis, it would very properly be considered a nuisance, and should at once be put a stop to. In fair time, however, it should be looked upon as one of the ordinary amusements, and any inconveni ence submitted to, by those who some way or other profit by the occasion. Who has complained ? Inspector Smith—Some of the parties in the neighbour hood, but I cannot tell their names. Mr. Yardley—lf any complaint be made again, let the complaining party come before me. This man is di charged. PI:SMITE PRACTICES.—BIRMINGIIAM, MONDAY.— A circumstance which owurred in one of the churches here yesterday has produced feelings of irritation and regret in the minds of all sincere churchmen. The congregation ' assembling at the church of St. Paul for the celebration of the solemn festival of Easter, were destined to have their devotional feelings sorely disturbed by the introduction of a miir of enormous candlesticks as decorators to the altar. The " novelty " was adverted to in a circular, of which a large number was distributed about the pews, and in which Mr. Latimer endeavoured to show that lights on the altar are enjoined by a rubric in the Prayer-book, and also sanctioned by convocation and by act of parliament. The church of St. Paul is situate in the midst of one of the most dense districts of the population of this town. The Rev. G. B. P. Latimer, the incumbent and patron, was inducted about four years ago ; he signalised his advent to his official duties by the introduction of certain Puseyite practices, such as preaching in the surplice, and other inno vations on the mode in which the service had for many years been conducted by his predecessor. These innova tions were gradually extended until in time Mr. Latimer's church came to be pointed out as a regular Puseyite esta blishment. A short time since a portion of his congrega tion raised a subscription for a new cloth for thecommumum table; this was used for the Ant time yesterday, and with it the tall candlesticks which have given rise to the scandal now referred to. Many 'Anse most respectable members of the congregation are highly indignant at the insult which has been offered to them, and it is feared that not a few of them will withdraw from the church if the use of these " novelties " is persisted in by the minister. The emigre minim has hitherto been large; it was especially ao yesterday morning. CATTLE, &e.—COLCIIESTEIt, April 19.—There was an abundant show et stock, but, owing to the London trade being dull dunag the week, sales were difficult to effect, unless at a rotor:Oen of mom Is. to :2r. per bead In Sheep; but the transactions were few, as mod of the dealers preferred bu ding their stock for the Now at Colchester on Thursday next.

ACCIDENT IN TILE CLTDE.—GLASCOMI, SATUR DAT EVENING.—This forenoon an accident of a some . what unusual character occurred on the Clyde. The brig James Ewing, for St. Kitts and Antigua, was being towed down the river by a tug, when, nearly opposite Greenock, from some accident on one side or other she came in contact with the brig George, of Newcastle, which was also being towed down the river on her out ward voyage to Montreal. Front the force of thc eolli slop the fluke of the anchor of the James Ewing, which was suspended from the bows, was driven through her tim bers below the water line, leaving a hole similar to that which might have been produced by a cannon-shot. As the vessel immediately began to fill, every exertion was made to get her into harbour, but the e fforts were unsuccess ful, for she sank close to the entrance to Scott's Dock. The crew made their escape without any difficulty. The James Ewing had a valuable miscellaneous cargo, consisting prin cipally of manufactured goods, the greater part of which will be ruined or damaged by the water. It was expected that as the tide fell she would be immediately discharged and the damage repaired, for in other respects the ship is uninjured. TRACTARIANISM REBEKED.—A very painful scene took place in the parish church of Uttoxeter, on the even ing of Sunday last. The assistant curate has rendered himself unpopular with a large portion of the congregation by preaching a sermon containing Tractarian doctrines of which they strongly . disapproved. A resolution was imme diately drawn up, signed, and handed to Mr. Broughton, the vicar, the terms of which were, that if the reverend offender entered the pulpit again, they should leave the church in a body. On Sunday evening, therefore, they put their threat into execution, by retiring immediately the preacher entered the pulpit. The service was con tinued, and a sermon preached to the remainder of the —Staffordshire Advertiser. __ Ss OP TIIE IvERPOOL AND NEW YORK PACKET SHIP IvsNitoz.—Since our report relative to the sup posed lose of this splendid packet-ship, accounts have been received from New York rendering her fate no longer questionable. Further relics of the cargo and ship have been picked up off the Shoals, where she was seen ashore, viz., bales of cotton, flour barrels, a broken oar, &e. ; and it has been consequently inferred that the ship, after touch ing on the shoals, speedily broke np under the weight of the heavy cargo of merchandise with which she was laden. She cleared from New York, under the command of Capt. Magee, on the 22nd February, and portions of the wreck were seen four days subsequently. She had on board six teen passengers (chiefly Irish and English) m the steerage, and was valued by Mews. Taylor and Merrill, of New York, her owners, at about 17,0001. Probably upwards of fifty lives have been lost by the disaster, reckoning her crew at forty men. We append a list of the passengers on board :—John Irwin and Aebison Moore, from the north of Ireland ; Peter Kelly, Condon, James Clark, Thos. Carter, Joseph Rushworth and wife, John Crosby, Thoe. Metcalf, Thomas Smith, John Kearns, Wm. White, Thos. • Brennan: and Christy Connor and Michael Shograshy, Gennalts.—Liserpool LVTELLIGENCE ,lintimr Of WI 11, - sad Lley Lla: .-•~ CASUALTIES.
