1 I, qltatz Interpreter, consisting of copious and fami liar Conversations on Subjects of general Interest and Utility, with a complete Vocabulary in English and Italian; to which is added, in a separate Column, the exact mode of Pronunciation, By S. A. BER- NA Iwo. pp. 4.08. This convenient volume, on the plan of Blagdon's French Interpreter, answers fully to its title. Such a work—a work, requiring for its production a much larger share of application and talent than many people would imagine—has lcng been a desideratum; and cannot fail to prove a very convenient pocket compa nion to English people visiting Italy ; as it will enable theni to express everything requisite for the common wants and occurrences of life in a manner perfectly The Highlanders; a Talc. By the Author of the Her- tN. - , ,it in London, Hermit Abroad, Av. vols. 12mo. It might have been expected that an author whose previous productions have had a hearty reception would not be long in again paying court to the Public. The Highlanders will take nothing from the reputation of the well-travelled Hermit. His tale is interesting, and well told, and is well calculated to convey to the southern reader—for the scene, of the first volume in particular, is laid in the nor them part of the island—a pretty correct idea of the strong attachment and' kind feelings which .nnite,the different members of the same clan t—attach rirenit and feelings which, we lament to say, are fast wearing out, to make place for the less hospitable man ners Of modern refinement. From the highlands the Scene is afterwards transferred to town, where we have some escdllent sketches laid before us of life in London. The character of the heroine, Flora Glenmore, is quite alarming, and wonderfully well drawn; those of the other personages are well drawn ; and there is so much goodleelingdisplayed throughout the whole work, that we r al? -promise its perusal will yield no small gratifi vitiOn o the reader. trytilistik MOrkind.

In Denmark the system of mutual instruction is making great progress, and although only a short time since it was established, there are already one hundred and forty schools, where this method is followed. Count Nloltke, Minister of State to the King of Denmark, is recently dead, and not cgOrt with patronising the Sciences, during his life, he even wished to support them after his death. He has, in consequence, left to the University of Copenhagen, 50,000 rix-dollars, to be distributed as rewards to the Professors of Natural Sciences, who shall treat certain questions to be pro posed by the University in the best manner. • He has also given 10,00) elders to the Academy of the Fine Arts, and 100,000 to he employed in educating the sons of poor Officers. These legacies are strongly con trasted with the regulations sometimes made in other countries in favour of Monastic Institutions, that some people are desirous of reviving. M. (lumbold communicated to the French Academy of Sciences, at its last sitting, some very interesting ob servations made by Messrs. Boussingault and ltevero, two travellers. These Gentlemen had analysed aero lite weighing several quintaux, which they found in the mountains of Santa Rosa, to the northeast of Santa Fe de Bogota. They say that, according to letters fr orn Antioquia, a mass of native gold has lately been found, weighing more than 190Ibs. They have proved the presence of both sulphuric and muriatic acids in the waters of a small river which runs from the volcano of Purace, near Popayan, and which is called by the inha bitants Vinegar River. The letters of these Gentlemen are up to January 5, 182.4.. At that time a School cf Mines was about to be established at Bogota, and the country enjoyed the greatest tranquillity. It appears from a return supplied to the house of Commons, that the quantity of Tobacco seized by the Customs and Preventive Service, from January 5, 1823, to January 5, 1824., amounts to 872,887 pounds, about one-half the quantity seized the year preceding. From an account just printed by order of the House of Commons, it appears that the fireign tonnage im ported into the port of LondOn, amounted, in 1814,-to 269,83+ tons; in 1815, to 275,375 tons ; in 1822, to 106,099 tons; and in 1823, to 161,705 tons.

One day :laic week, a desperate attempt was mule by the prisoners in Perth to force their way out of jail. After'being biatight down to breakfast they peiempto rily refused to retie to their cells. Three or four 'were armed with kniiii and razors, and the rest had large pieces of brick torn from the back of the chimney, and put into the corners of small bags, for the purpose of telling their assailants. Recourse was atlast hid to the military; and a party of dragoons, with Lieut.'Razo at their head, arrived from the barracks, when the pri soners immediately laid down their razors, Stc.and re tired quietly' o their, cells. John Camp ell, who lately broke out of Stirling pri• son, but was 40011 .after apprehended in Edinburgh, was tried before the Circuit Court of Justiciaryat Stirling on Friday,accused of housebreaking and theft, convicted, and sentenced to be executed on the 14th of May. It is stated in a recent number of the Journal of Antwerp, that the decree of the King of . the Netber lands, a *Society of Commerce Belgium, lias'been receiied with great satisfaction, which mani fested itself by the -subscription in one day of ten ?aliens Olefins. " It may .be fore-.ten," adds the joitrnid,"that our city alone will furnish the primitive fund of the society. "This'great measure, in favour of maritime commerce, manufactures, and agriculture, without being subject to-the controul or direction of the Goiernment, has been duly 'appreciated by _all our merchants, Who 'see in it a centre of activity and a Source of riches." . r TENIR Wali.z.—An expression in one of Mr. Maturin's works to this effect, the " tenth ware of hu man misery," induced a gentleman to watch and see if the largest and mokoverwhelining wave was succeeded -by nine, and only nine smaller ones, and he satisfied himself that such was the fact. But this seems to be no new thought of Mr.,Maturin. There are two passages in Ovid, in which he expressly mentionathe,pheiomenon.

A hackney-coachman, named Jahn Edwards, was brought before It. J. CHAMBERS, Esq. charged with having stolen two diamond hoop rings, the property of a Lady. • It appeared, that on the 9th instant, two rings, set with diamonds' and emeralds, were brought to the shop of Mr. Walmsley, a pawn broker, in the London-road, by a person named Satter, who, on presenting them to the shnpman, inquired their value, saying that he was disposed, instead of pledging them, to sell them out and out for 10s. The shopman, astonished at the low price demanded, in formed his master, who detained the property, and gave informa tion at this office. The prisoner was taken into custody—the rings were advertised, and a Lady now. came forward, who stated that on the Bth instant she hired a hickney-coach in Ilolborn, and soon after quitting it, missed the rings (now produced), which she said she had left behind on one of the seats in the coach. She added that the prisoner was the man who drove the coach. Satter, who was admitted as a witness, stated that on the 9th instant Edwards came to him, and exhibiting two rings, said " Sat ter, go to a pawnbroker's, inquire the value of the rings, and sell them to the best advantage." Tbe.Magistrate observed, that robberies of this description were so frequent, he considered be should .xicit be discharging a public duty it he did not send the prisoner to take his trial for the offence. Ilackney-coachmen all knew that it was their duty to deliver up all property left in their coaches at the Hackney-coach Office, the Com mis •ioners of which generally succeeded in finding the owners. The Lady entreated the Magistrate not to call upon her to pro secute the coachman, who, she understood, bore an excellent cha racter; besides, she was in momentary expectation of sailing to Demerara to join her husband. Undlsr these circumstances, the Magistrate discharged the pri soner, after - giving him an admonition, and ordered the rings to be delivered up to the Lady. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Mrs. H. a very smartly dressed woman, was brought before the Magistrate on a peace warrant, charged with threatening to inflict bodily injury upon Miss Eliza H. K. her reputed daughter-in-law. It was stated by Miss K. who appeared to be a highlytaccom ?fished young Lady, that she had resided with Mr. H. from her infancy, and until lately she always supposed him to he her.father; but circumstances had occurred whiCh induced her now to doubt upon the subject. She was educated in France, and until she came to reside in this country she knew but very little of the En fish lan guage ; but the knowledge which she had since acquired'had led to a discovery to which the present complaint was to be attributed. Mr. 11. some time ago married the defendant, and from that time her (Miss K.'s) hone was no longer supportable. They were quar t-tiling incessantly, and at length Mr. 11. placed her inltidgings at the house of a Mr. tither ' a German tailor, undertaking to pay for her board and lodging. A fkw days ago, Mr. Hitter presented a bill to Mr. 11. for certain extras that she had been furnished with, and very shortly after Mrs. H. went to her lodgings, and conducted herself with great violence, threatening to " tear her liver out," .and making use of other declarations of such a nature as to excite serious apprehensions in coniftainant's mind. The discovery to which she had alluded was this : she once saw a document which she understood enyugh of to know that it was a will of her late mother, who died when complainant was very young, in which property was bequeathed to her, and Mr. 11. was nominated tits. tee. She, of course, made no secret of this, and she attributed the muduct of Mrs. H. to this circumstance. Mr. H. had repeatedly ' , urged lu:r ro retire to a convent in France, but she refused. MIS,. K. was entering further into this part of the subject, but she was stopped by the 'Magistrate, with informed her that he had nothing to do with private Matters of that kind—he could only take cog -1 nizance of the threats whine she alleged Mrs. H. had made use of. On the part of the clekencLant, it was declared that Miss K. was totally mistaken as to the will of which she had spoken. She was actually the daughter of Mr. H. by a former marriage, and there ivas not the least-fouttlation fOr the supposition which, somehow or other, had entered the mind of the complainant with respect to the supposed will. The Magistrate repenter!, Oa* he had nothing to do with that part of the case, and, after sOfne conversation, Mrs. 11. was'helci to bail to keep the peace. rn AN ES POLICE. Riduird Iliklitek, of Wapping,*victualler, appeared at this - office, before T.

" A CORPORATION."—Mr. HOLWEL WALSH, in a Corporation case tried at the Tralee Assizes, observed, that a " Corporation cannot blush. It was a body it was true—had (said he) certainly a head—a new one every year—an annual acquisition of intelligence in every new Lord Mayor. Arms, he supposed, . it had, and long ones too, for it could reach at anything. Legs, of , course, when it made such long strides. A throat to swallow the rights of the community—and a stomach to digest them ! But who ever yet discovered, in the anatomy of any Corporation, eith er b owe l s or a h eart !" _ _ In 1 5 13 a steam-boat was fitted out at Naples : the machinery was made in England, and put together by two English engineers ; but the boat was built at 'Na ples, and had her back sadly strained in launching.— She went thence to Leghorn, and excited a deal of alarm on her voyage ; people from the Roman coast several times put out to her, thinking she was•a vessel on fire, and when they ascertained the fact, they stole away, as if from a process of witchcraft or enchantment. The celebrated Piofessor of Mathematics at Cam bridge, NICHOLAS SAUNDERSON, though quite blind, was so fascinated with the chace, that he continued to hunt until a very advanced period of his life. His horse was accustomed to follow that of his servant ; the de light of SAUNDERSON was extreme when he heard the cry of the hounds and the huntsmen, and he used to ex press his raptures with - all the eagerness of those who possessed their sight.
