Motte Fouque is the Author of the German original, and has evidently taken for heimodel -the Scotch Novels; and for her subject too she has ap plied to our English History. To expect anything like • a' perfect itottrtute from the pen of one brought up in such a co, nip; school, respecting taste, .as the German, would.he fAly; but her very attemp t to infuse • into Northern literature a portion of health. • ana to teach the German Roma i ncers (as' remarked by her trail's later) to substitute InstoriC character and sound th:nking for the cant of msstvisin and sentiment," is certainly deserving of praise. She commences her story with that eventful period' when the expected death of Edward. VI. had created much alarm respecting the succession. The Claimants; to the throne were Mary, Elizabeth, and the Lady Jane Grey. Each of there was the leader or the instrument of a party, and concentred in themselves the hopes, agitations, and fears of nearly the whole kingdom. On the death of Edward every effort is made to in-. duce the reluctant Lady Jane to permit herself to be p . roclain.;%l Queen by the Northumberland party. The Proclamation is unavailing. The l)oke of Nothurn bet land is defeated by the adherents of Mary; and after a year the. accomplished Lady Jane herself is sent to the scaffold. _ _ _ The bloody- persecuting reign of Mary causes much . misery to England, and many are forced to 'seek safety' iw flight. Among these are the Duchess of Suffolk and: her husband, Sir Richard Bertie, both of whom' had turned to the Protestant faith. They betake themselves to Flanders. In her journey, the Duchess Meets with an interesting and deserted female infant-, which she as sumes under her own protection. 'This orphan, it after wards appears, is the child of Lady Jane Grey. To the mean time these outcaAs are cot trained to fly from town to town for salt ty (such is the effect of religious bigotry), till at length they find an aiyrum in the Court of Sigi4nund Augustus of Polaud: But we-must . be brief. Daring the succeeding reign .of Elizabeth they' return to their native country. Oa the whole, the Baroness.has contrived to wolk up' her stoi y with some degree of skill, and to throw over the vhoie a degree of interest which we should hardly hare expected.

Our Readers be sal itied that this is an amusing volume, by the following lively anecdotes, selected from many others : LORD MANAILLD AND JOSEPH JACOBS,' NICKNANIED JOE WANT NIONEV. " During the time the above able lawyer presiied as Chief Justice of the King's Wench, this sameioseph Jacobs was in the constant habit of justifying bail for consider. ; able sums before hint; and one day, when he went up to justify for a very heavy sum, he was.oppmed by Ser. katit Davy, who Inid a mortal hatred to him, and clues tumi'd him as usutl about his property; brit Joe was dressed according to the costume of that time, and eo:! vexe- all over with gold lace,; upon which Lord Mans* . field archly replied, • Oil! take !aim, he'll burn torthe moa they: At another time, Serjermt Davy was again opposed, tolhiai, and Joe 'coming to the knowledge that there was. a bill of the Setjeal.es lying over due in Cornhill, took it up, and when the Counsel, as he thought, was cut' tiag Joe up without mercy, upon his being asked-- • Where is your property, Joe?' he ru2sweretl, Itraty pocket; for he had been previously fuiui• bed with the, amount be was to bail for in notes, with the exception. of the Serjeant's bIll; and adds, here si.e are in notes in part; and if you %ill just take up slat bill (banding it to tlar litejeant) yid; is so In over due, it vill make up de unapt,},.'

The faculty deemed him irrecoverable; and declined farther prescriptions; but Tom possessed a pe. collar kind of sarcastic philosophy, which induced him to had•danger in contempt rather than any measures to avert it ; to that he was continually jesting on his own infrmities, and tihculing his friends on their anxiety Pr his recovery. Several of his brother actors paid him visit one morning, and .formally took leave of him, as it* , supposed, fur the last time; and Weston, obsea y. lug an unusual solemnity in their manlier,' nsisted on knowing the cause, which he 'had nb sOnnerlearnt, than CsAledior per!, ink, and paper, and wrote the fol. ioSitiog kittes : Here lie the bones of Thomas Weston, Who all his life was made a j‘..it on: Please tir refused so pay his club, But still ass Abought a inight.y Scrub.' • , - - . :-• A 311): pPrc) ~.< GI 1 ' el - ~1 1 .. 0 ..-4.- k , x rigrl "'There,' says he.. handing the pa,er, 4 take my eoi taph; but if I am not well enough to play Scrub this day month; I w ill ihrfetta liailful'of punch, dead or alive. • • THE .

ERROR IN TUENORTH POLAR DISTANCE OF THE • • FIXED STARS. - - - It appears 'that some strange anomalies in the re corded places of some of the ppincipal fixed stars, haVe 'been lately discovered. Not that the learned. compu te 'dans 8f MaskelTne and Flamstead, in England ; ' and of Bode aq,d Piaui, on the Continent, are by any means 'et-raucous, but since their time some new and curious discoveries in the atmospherical refraction have been made:• in consequence of which it has appeared that tables of mean refraction must be made for each obser vatory,'and that consequently all the places of the stars, , as corrected by general tables, will be fount:l , lo err. We understand the Meteorological Society of London are at present investigating this important subject and that it has been discovered that different stars require also a' diff;:rent correction.

Scc. Asc. ~. . , . There is a pauper upon the books of the nendicity Society, who is the greatest opium eater in England,: One of his names is Staab. There is little doubt that he took to this practice for the purpose of producing, upon him adebilitated aspect, and thus to.qual4 himself, for his profession of begging. He is a tall, Nary 4111) 1 1 'die-away.loaking man, about fifty years of age, tool walks, or•rather creeps, as if he had just arisen from b 1 grave ...starvation sits upon his lip, and misery Arpon l his brow—yet this man eats two or 'three shilingi worth of opium in the day. When he is diprived.of this drug from want of money to purchase 4, he bey • comes almost raving mad and hysterical, falls down in the street in most terrible tremors, which generally has' the effect of obtaining for him a few pence by the chaff iity of the passengers, when he runs immediately to the apothecary's, and sits all night by his favourite quid., It may be imagined that this man could not do without opium; but the following circumstance will prove that be could be brought to it by a proper restriction. He' was imprisoned once for a month, and for the first feW days was incessantly roaring and lamenting for his opium, declaring that he should die if •he did not get it, The surgeon allowed him a moderate quantity, infortro tog him that he should have no mote for three•days. This obliged the opium eater to portion his allowance of comfort according to Ms resources. The uext al. lowance from the surgeon was a less quantity ; .and the third, a still less,refusing at last to allow him any. The' man became reconciled, and before the perio6 4 .of his imprisonment expired, he was in excellent health, nor did be feel a wish for his former habit. The facetious Charles Bannister bising once a little in embarrassed circumstances, turned coal-merchant,td add to his revenue; and being a very generous fig went about at Christmas to give the cooks of the drift; rent taverns he se, red, what is commonly called •,a " Christmas•box."

WORSHIP-STREET. ENIREZZLEMENT BY CLERK.—Saturday evening, the fitttls ulthno. Edmund Scot Mann was brought before Twvvoitn, Fsq. cltarked by his employers, Illi•ssrs. Cooper and. Son, upholsterers, of No. 93, Bishopsgate-street, with embezzling monies to a large amount, re ceivbd-by him on their account. The particular charge gone into was fur receiving of Ilerint, Esc. the sum of £6. 11 s. about thiee weeks ago, Which it was his duty instantly to have handed over tp the cashier ; hut instead of doini; so, he embezzled it. witness proved that the prisoner confessed to him tht fact, ankl that there were fifty other accounts received by the prismer umier simi lar circumstances; and it being stated to the Mitistrate that it would require considerable time to investiate the hooks and to pro cure the attendance of witnesses, he remanded the prisoner till Fri day next, when the charges will be fully gone into. UNION-HALL Mr. Henry Hunt was summoned before the Magistrates at this of lice, to answer for an assault upon Mr. liallet the chymist, of .BrOadwall, Black friars. Mr. flatlet, who is an elderly man, of respectable appearance, occupies part of the premises at Broadwall, of which Mr. I-hint has also a share; and front his statement it appeared that on Thursday morning at ten o'clock, he ordered one of his 'men to clear away sosne rubbish which blocked up the way into the yard. Mr. Hunt, upari seeing what was going forward, called the man a scoundrel and a vagabond ts and when Mr. Ballet attempted, to remonstrate, 'bestowed the same epithets upon him. Mr. mallet retaliated in a -cool and contemptuous manner, upon which Mr. Hunt seized a ehoyel, and shovelled a quantity of mud and other filth upon the perzOn of the cliyinist, who, although much better acquainted with "the natnr€ of the 'contents, and better qualified to use them to the Aujissy of man, disdained to resort to any other process for sathfac iion than that which a Court of Justice presented. The Magistrates asked Mr. Hallet whether he had sustained any personal iojury in consequence of the shovelling? It appeared that ,he had not; although Mr. Hunt had kept shovelling the mud upon him, as if be intended that Mr. Hart should do the business of a "dung car% and carry It all out of the WAY himself. From the defence it appeared, that white Mr. Hunt was confined in Ilchester jail, Mr. Hallet took advantage of his misfortune, and encroached upon. his pait of the premises ; that Mr. Hunt not being in the habit otpermitting liberties of such a nature to he taken with his property, whatever might be taken with his person, upon his return to town, expressed his feelings in his accustomed manner, without any great regard to forms. The powers of elo cution being wasted on the subject, the shovel was resorted to.— Mr. Hufit received a shovel full of sand into his shoes, and sent back a requital, which was received with very ill grace. " The dispute," Mr. Hunt observed, " oaly proved that two of a trade could never agree." Mr. Hallet is a retailer of drugs to kill people, and' I am . a. . , retailer and roaster of corn to keep people alive." ...: . The Magistrates did not think the squabble was one of which they. ought to decide upon the merits, attwever adapted it mighthe to a Court of I.aw, to which they referred Mr. Hallet for satisfaction. • . . . . A few days since, Benjamin Taylor, of Portsea, was fined in the sum of five pounds, under-the Mutiny Act; Ifbi: 'purchasing a pair of regimental boots from a soldier ; 'arid being unable to pay the fine, he was committed to .goi for three months. Wednesday, as a warrant officer, two men, and a boy, were going down to Sheerness from Chatham, in boat, thet were capsized in a sudden squall, the sail alt thi time being belayed ; the two men were unfortu nately diowned, but the warrant officer and boy escape) by getting on a•plank - and floating ashore. t' • Saturdey night, about nine o'clock, as the patrol was, 'proceeding through the Back-lane, Clairton, he disco-, vered Mr: Grocot, a respectable butcher of that place, lying underliii cart, laden with meat, which had fallen upon him; the night was exceedingly dark, and on his return From market the wheel had run over a bank; which threw the tart over, and the poor man was crushed to death. He has left a wife and six' -small children to lanienthii premature death. MALICIOUSLY Buftsurro. A system of outrage rather novel in this country, has lately shewn itself in some parts Of Surrey—we mean the burning of out offices. Three or four cases of peculiar atrocity, in wirier cattle' wereconsnmed on the preMises, have been reported, and. notwithstanding the active exertions of , Ae Matistiaty and RAce, the offenders have hitherto' 'girded 114 pursuit of justice. On Thursday night a thatched Shed in Norbuiy Park, in the parish of M ickle ham, seas set on fire, and entirely consumed ; with 4, view no doubt, to the destruction of some cows turned in there-Tor shelter .during the night, but they -were forttralslelt released by tare • timely assistance of the pirletifttgers Dkatirricrios OF AVOOD-MlLLS.—Tuesday morning,. stbinstiwoo'cloCk, 'Mr. Irvine, who carries on the busts ness of cutting wood into Veneers, at Wood-mill, on the river Itchen, about three miles from Southampton,, distotead the premises containing his maellittery were, on fit e.
