LITERATURE. Tering. A Literar y Album. Edited by c r ieiLlship's THOMAS R H . ERVEY. Such is the title of one of those charming little works which have lately been introduced among us with so m uch success, from the Continent, ss here they have been I„ng known, but never so tastefully got up as they arel ir, this country, as here they blend the charms of litera toe with the beauties of the fine arts. Friend hip's Offering" is edited by Mr. Hervey, a gentleman or poetical talents, aided by many living contributors; and it contains some relics of the il'ustri. 0 0 dead, such as four unpublished Puems by Thom on, the author of " The Seasons," and some Stanzas by Lord Byron to Lady Caroline Lamb, written six teen years ago, in a note-book belonging to her Lady ,i,ip. Tnere are also several interesting tales and ,k et cher, and the- embellishments, twelve in number, a , e many of them very pretty. The following is one I c ;Le poetical pieces with which the volume is thickly : : . el , l :ersed : LINES WRITTEN AT ROUEN. Ti r City of Rouen (formerly the capital of Normandy, I to land of chivalry), is one of the most extraordinary looking old towns in Europe. The extreme narrowness o f its streets and great elevation of its houses, with their o verhanging upper stories, give an appearance of heavi. D eis and gloom to the town, that contrasts finely with the beauty of its situation. It is surrounded on all sides by heights, laid out in 62tilevards ; receiving first, and retaining last, the rays of the rising and setting sun ; and fading magnificent panoramic views of the windings of the Seine. Its squares ar.d street* are ornamented with fountains. The Seine is like a belt of gold— Beneath an autumn sky, That fluata in many a crimson fold, Like a banner hung or. high! The town sleeps darkly, on the stream, When lights and shadows play; While wave on wave, like dream on decant, Smile, as they glide away ! And here 1 stand—as here 1 stood, flow many years ago? When life danced onward, like the flood, With music in its flow! But now my breast, like yonder dome, Where sleeps the Lion•heart,• half a temple—half a tomb, But has no earthly part ! 3ly spirit keeps the trace, like thee, Of many a lost parade— Dreams of the soul's young chivalry, Of many a wild crusade ! Like thee, dark town—like thee in all f:ut thy many gushing fountains, Yet Lrightent4l, still, by lights that fall From heaven—like thy blue mountains! The heart of Richard of England is deposited in the Cathedral r Rouen.

The friend and companion of almost every person connected with the stare for nearly half a century, few pet-inns have ill a better ppm tunny of healing those flashes of wit which ale always best when they come unexpected and tiptepaied. Mr. Kelly has not only heard many such, butt lie has devoted a portion of his good old age in recording them for the benefit of posterity. Ilis utak, wh;cli his Majesty has generously coiree,cended to panonize, is full of amusing anecdotes c f :row s and at,thuss, plays and play-houses, Princes and Statesmen ; all narrated with good humour, and embodying a memoir if the Author's own life. We have already TIO:e.1 .1 few anecdotes from these highly interesting to which we now add the following, relating to slaridan, which we quote from among many others of the same distinguished individual: "One of Mr. Sheridan's favourite amusements in his hours of recreation, was that of making blunders for ate, and r, lating them to my friends, vouching for the truth of them with the most perfect gravity. One 1 :member was, that one night, when Drury-lane Theatre crowded to excess in every part, 1 was peeping :::rough the hole in the stage curtain, and John Kemble, v.las was standing on the stage near me, asked me how the house looked ? and that I r eplied, " By J —s, you can't stick a pin's head in any part of it—it is literally chuck hill ; but how much fuller will it be to-morrow right, when the King comes ?" An they of Mr. Sheridan's jests against me was, that one . day, h av i ng wa lk e d w i t h hi m to K em bl e ' s h ouse , i n Great ltostell-street, Bloomsbury, when the streets were very dirty, and having gone up the steps while Mr. Sheridan was scraping the dirt off his shoes, " I asked him to scrape for me, while I was knocking at the door.* Dining with Dr. Parr, Mr. Kelly tells us that .4 he was a chtermined smoker, and, on that day not a little of a soaker; he drank a great deal of wine, to say 7othing of copious draughts of Hollands and water cite% When he was first asked whom he considered the first Greek scholar in Europe? he answered-,-.The first Grecian scholar in Europe is Porson, the third is lir. Burney ; I leave you to guess the second." It appriats that Madame Storace fell a sacrifice to superstition. She was taken suddenly ill at Mr. Kelly's, in the presence of a Medical Gentleman, who advised I , er to be bled. The next day, Dr. Hooper wished to bleed her, but she refused, because it was Friday—and consequence of the delay, lost her life. " No power Could prevail upon Mr. Sheridan to commence any business, or set out upon a journey, on a Fr iday ; nor 'would he allow, if he could possibly avoid it, a piece o be produced on a Friday night." cdotes of Monkeys, 4-c. 80. 12mo. Londc,n, 1825. This little volume contains numerous anecdotes of !:ose sagacions animals, who seem at once to imitate insultend human nature by their cunning and dexte rity. Anecdotes of instinct so frequently approach the move% us without violating truth, that it is difficult to limit its operations in animals, as we see it so often sur !!ss anythin g we cou ld h ave conce i ve d or ex p ec t e d. 1 he anecdotes in this volume are extremely well told, usually accompanied with some ingenious or sati rical remark. The publication of the volume is par ticularly seasonable, when, at a Theatre Royal, the a . ian who success f u ll y i m i tates a mon k ey on t h e stage Is more attractive than he who embodies the finest con teptions of a Shakspeare or a Sheridan ; yet such is the case, and et True 'tis pity—pity 'tis 'tic true." With these remarks we quote from this amusing volume an anecdote ofwhat the author calls a pedagogical monkey. " A Gentleman in Demerara was led into the woods bordering the upper part of the Essequibo, in chase 014 mild animal he had wounded, he had not proceeded far, before his attention was attracted by cries resem bling those of children suffering pain ; he looked in the direction whence the sound proceeded, and observed many monkeys in a large tree. Some were chattering, others shewing great anger, at the remnants of certain sugar-canes and fruits, and one was lamenting over the l i remnants of an old hat. Several were occupied in spatting the parts, usually subjected to such punish ment, of six or seven young monkeys, while others held their legs. The Gentleman watched from his covert this strange proceeding, and, from all he observed, was convinced that the young ones had either been left to guard the plunder, an.l had eaten it, or that they had been detected in this act of petty larceny, and were un dergoing the penalty of their transgression." Dr. Grey's Memoria Technica ; or, Method of Artificial Memory. h'evised, Abridged, and Adapted to gene ral use. By JOHN HENRY TODD. 12mo. London, 1 82.5. Although the player Rich, when imperfect in thel part of Macheath, after performing it for thirty suc cessive nights, excused himself by remaking, that a man's memory would not last for ever, yet it is certain that the retentive faculties are much improved by freely exercising them, and that they may receive valuable aid by a system like that of Dr. Grey's Memo ria Technica, which is much simplified and improved by Mr. Todd. We therefore recommend it to all who read, and wish to treasure up %%hat they read. industry. A Tale of Real 1825. ThiF is a domestic story, replete with interest, and well calculated to im . , ress u,eful ie,sons of diligence, perseverance, economy on the minds of youth. 1311INIA.N WAR. An Officer of the 89th Foot, who has been engaged with his Regiment in the Birmese war, is nosv publish ing in London, a series 4 very beautiful views of scenes and objects which fell under his observatinn in the Birmese territory. There ate two views of Pagodas, which are eminently beautiful, and produce the finest effect of eastern architecture, with its countless spires, domes, canopies, and minarets, wrought in the highest posaib!e manner, and refulgent wi h gold and silver. But the view of the greatest interest, is that of the storming of the principal stuckade of Rangoon, by the 13th Foot. This plate affords a perfect idea of stockades, with the Birmese mode of defending them, a species of lamime but lately introduced into that country, and likely to prove ut peat annoyance to our empire in the East. The views ate accompaniei by letter-press de-. scriptionc, which supply many useful facts in relation to the Birmese, and we recommend the work to our Readers, both on account of its intrinsic merits, and of its relatioa to a country so little known, and daily be coming of mote interest to Europeans. A IANIAC. Yesterday, whilst the Court of King's Bench were occupied in hearing the arguments of Counsel upon a ques . ion of ej-ctinent, a maniac rushed in, and pushing aside several Barristers, placed himself before the Judges. The wild look of the miserable intruder, and the peculiar effect produced by his garb, instantly sus- pended the business, and threw the 11:•ncli, the Pleaders, Attornies, and suitors, into a state of surprise. 44 h alts be the King of England's throne," exclaimed the unwelcome intruder, raising his arms in a dramatic style, ‘• let us all have justice." The Usher of the Court felt it was his duty to remove this unfortunate being, and approached evidently under some alarm to conduct him out of Ctin. t. The moment his arm was extended for that purpose, the maniac, looking at him with the wildest gesture, said—" Avaunt ! I know thee not. Take away those unhallowed hands. I charge thee cast aside ambitian. I must speak to it.' These sentences were followed by a religious ejaculation, uttered in the impressive fury of insanity. Tile officer hesitated ; the Banisters appeared to be sensible of danger from the new advocate, and were gradually retreating to a secure distance. The poor lunatic then laid upon the bar a pocket-book, a ring, and some coin. "Who gave me Mat ring?" he exclaimed, and was evidently in a paroxysm which must have produced the most extravagant acts of madness, when the officer forced him from the bar. The Counsel near this scene of insanity told him, as he was going, to take with him his ring, pocket-book, and money, " No, no," said the madman, "I'll leave it here ; you want it; take it among you." The Barristers, who had no objection, to a fee in the regular way, were unwilling of course' to retain the donation bestowed by the lunatic visitor. The ring, the pocket-book, and the coin (whether copper or silver we could not see), were c mveyed by the officer to the deranged owner. The cause of inter ruption was then taken out of Court, and business again followed in its usual smooth and placid course. We understood that the unfortunate maniac was once a Thespian of some repute in the Provincial Theatres, and that he became nen comps mentis in pursuit of the Histrionic Muse. In the Palace Court, yesterday, Mr. Newham, a dealer in nautical instruments, near the West India Docks, recovered 51. damages of Mr. East, a tailor, for a violent assault on his person, indenting his forehead, and demolishing his spectacles, whilst treating for the (sale of some turtle. DISTURBANCE AT THE AUCTION MART.—Yesterday, according to public notice, several shares of the Inde pendent Gas Company were put up for sale at the Auction Mart, by Mr. Williams, the auctioneer. They were 2&i. shares, and the Company was described as a valuable and improving concern. On asking for bid dings, Mr. Williams was interrupted by two Gentle men, who wished to know what the prospects of the Company were? Mr. Williams replied, that he had no doubt the Company would, in a short time produce a handsome dividend. The Gentlemen said it was impossible the Company could produce any hand some dividend. The Company had sold gas con siderably below the price charged by other Companies; and they also knew, although it was stated to the contrary in the cond tions of sale, that the Company wsuld not allow the transfers of the shares to be assigned to the purchasers. The Auctioneer offered to make a condition that if the transfer was not made, the deposits should be returned. The persons who attended the sale were perfectly satisfied with Mr. Williams's proposition ; but the two Gentlemen created so much disturbance in the room, that Mr. Williams, finding it impossible to proceed with the sale, passed the lots, and told the two Gentlemen that actions would be COM. menced against them. LAW REPORT. , . COURT OF CHANCERY, Novaisia Is. LADY ANSON V. THE.RRCTIEH COMRANY. The bill filed by her Ladyship prayed that the de fe:idants be restrained frnin working certain lead mines in Cornwall, under the following circumstances :.—Lady Anson had purchased from a Gentleman of the name of Thomas, twenty-four 384th shares in a certain lead mine, in Cornwall, for which £l,OOO had been p +id.— Subsequently, Mr. Thomas sold his interest in the mine to the British Mining Associ ttion, and that Company had endeavoured to compel Lady Anson (acknowledging. however, her right to the twenty-four shares) to proceed in the working of the mine in the manner they thought proper. To this she objected, and had consequently Mei the bill in Equity. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for L idy Anson, stated, that this was an ex parte motion, and entered fully into the facts of the case. He read several letters which had passed on the subject, and particularly adverted to one from the agent of the Company to Lady Anson, which appeared to him to be of a threatening character. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that he could not grant the motion ex-parte, and desired notice to be given to the other side. Lady Anson appeared to have acted in the business rather foolishly, and wholly without advice. He doubted also whether he could make any order upon the defendants until it was ascertained that they were a legal Company. At all events, a short delay could not hut t Lady Anson's interests, as a bill having been fuel these could be no sale of the pi operty. Notice w•as ordered to be given, and the motion to be again men tioned this day se'noight. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 18. TIIF. KING V. HANWER AND BRYAN. Mr. ADOLPHUS, on the part of Air. Bunn, of Bath, moved for a rule, calling upon the defendants, who Are the proprietors 4 sf tl.e Common &nse, Sunday news• paper, to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed agaLst them, forfora libel which appeared in the said paper, on Sunday the 13th inst.? Tit- Learned Counsel in support of his motion read the l!bel, which ippeared under the head " Notice to Correspondents." "An old inhabitant of Bath is informed that we were previously aware of the intimate connection between Mr. Bunn and Mr. Dymond, of Bath. It is well known that birds of a feather flock together" (here followed some gross allusions). The Lotto CHIRP' Jumcz—Does your affidavit state that there is no foundation for the imputation? Mr. ADOLPHUS—Yes, my Lord; I move on behalf of Mr. Bunn, and he states, that he has not known Mr. Dymond more than a few months. The Loan CIIIFF JUSTICE—Take the rule. The Court was occupied the greater part of the day, in hearing arguments upon special cases of no public interest. PREROGATIVE COURT, Novemssit 18. BRAIIAI.I V. /3:IIICHELL. This was an extra day appointed for hearing an ob jection taken on the part of the executor of a will of the late Signora Storace, who died in August, 1817, to an act on petition, wherein Mr. William Spencer Har ris Barham, a natural son of the de:eased, had entered with some detail into the circumstances upon which he founded his prayer that the Court would be pleased to revoke the probate of the said will, granted so long ago as 1818, and permit him to propound his interest as the residuary legatee named in the will of Mrs. Elizabeth Storace, the mother of the decea,ed Signora Storace, and whilst living, the only person entitled in distribution to the estate and effects of her daughter. The grounds of the executors' objections were, Ist, the irrelevancy of much of the matter set forth in such act on petition, which would require that proofs should be brofight from V.enna, at an. enormous eximuse, in order to sub stantiate it ; and 2dly, the incapacity of Mr. Spencer Braliam, as representative of his grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth St race, to make this demand, she having not only repeatedly acquiesced in the diiposition of the w ill, whereof probate had been taken, but having aho re ceived monies under it. Sir JOHN NICHOL,. would not permit the Learned Counsel, at this stage of the cause, to oven the case on either side, as to the facts; and declined giving any ,opinion on the Admissibility and relevancy of the matter sought to be impeached, until the act on petition shall be closed and issue regularly joined. 'Die l.earing of this cause, it is expected, will speedily cme on. A new greet is likely to be formed direct from Finsbury•place to the north-west coiner of the Bulk of England, and through Prince's•street, directly opposite the Mansion House. It is well known to be a positive fact, that at the time the City of Glasgow steam-packet struck in Dou glas harbour, all the passengers were on deck, except one, who was asleep in bed ; and upon being called and informed ot his danger, he very deliberately drew a blanket round his shoulders, took a sketching book in his hand, and drew a correct view of the wreck. The consequence was he lost all his clothes.-1 1 / a nx Sun. Yesterday morning, as a little girl, named Grant, liv ing in Pitt-street, near the Elephant and Castle, was endeavouring, in the absence of her mother, to reach a sixpence, that lay on the mantle-piece, leer clothes caught fire. The mother, hearing the child's screams, ran down stairs, and found her enveloped in flames, which, with the aid of the neighbours, were extin- I guished : but the child was so dreadfully burnt, that it was taken to Guy's Hospital in a dying state. A tenant of Sir Manasseh Lopez, a little farmer, during the depression of the farming business, was behind in the payment of his rent, a circumstance which induced his landlord to pay him a visit. The farmer, however, being from home, the Baronet addressed him self to his wife—" Vat is de reascia dat your husband does not pay me de rent?" " Why, Sir," replied the woman, " the times are so hard that we can't get the money to pay it. Things fetch nothing, ant! Gon knows what will become of us lam atrail Thomas 'must go to gaol, for he's behind with another or ta o besides you, Sir," (dropping a curtsey, and wiping her eye.) " Ah, dat is bad, dat is bad," said Sir Manasseh, " people should not get into debt. Vy do you get into debt? I thought you were industricos." " And so we are, Sir," answered the woman, " but we have both been very ill, and we have now three children bad in bet' with the typhus fever," and bursting into tears, she lea nim into the room where the children were lying. " Vell ! yell !" be exclaimed, " do not cry, do not cry. It is bad—it is bad. lam sorry, and 1 will do some thing for you. Let me see, yorr can raise four or five shillings to buy one stamp?" (The stamp was procured.) Ah, dat will do. Here is one bill for you, at two months, for sixty pounds, on de bank. I vill give it you—l vill make you a present ot it. Bat stop; you vans de moneys-1 vill discount it, and only charge you four per cent. interest! There, dat viii pay your debts. Good morning, pay my rent in future, and don't let de young ones have de fever again." THE COMET STEAM ISUAT. . GREENOCK, Noun's's 15. . This morning the remains of tl'e Messrs. M'All:stei wire removed from theTontine, and embarked on board the Highlander steam-boat, to be conveyed to Skye. A number of the most respectable ;nhal itants, together with some of their own telatious, attended the funeral Procession to the watersi!e. Saturday. a Ere was discovered In one of the lofts of the exten sive .ugar-house of Messrs. James Fairrie and Co. The prompt ar rival of the engines, however, and a plentiful supply of water, hap pily subdued the filmes before any great damage had been done. PROM THE GREENOCK ADVERTISER, N VENEER 15. Since our last publication, although the end aveurs to rake the Comet have been unrelixed, yet nothing has been effected in the desirable ac;omplishment of the enterpriZe. Indeed we should have scarcely consi dered it necessary to recur to the subject, but to afford a contradiction to the many vague reports which have gained circulation. It has been stated that the ill-fated vessel had been mooed nearer the shore, that her funnel was at one time above the water, &c: These reports are all saithout foundation ; she remains in the spot she first occupied, firmly (and we fear too firmly to be re moved) embedded in the sand. An additional lighter ha: been provided to co-operate with the others, but thtir attempts still continue abortive. The hold the chains have of her by the stern is a good one, but that at the bow, from the fractured state of that extremity, is very indifferent ; and although it frequently encou rages a hope that she is fairly slung, yet when the full purchase is applied, the falure of a plank or, some of the splinterel fragments, generally disappoints those hopes, and renders all the previous labour vain. F.IONI THC GLASGOW COUR(R OF THURSDAY. From a Gentleman who came up from Gaurock late cast night, we learn, that though the attempts to raise the C.)en..t have hitherto failed, she has nevertheless been moved from her first position. The hawser which was fixed to the capstan ashore, was hove in five fathoms, so that the distance from the shore, a'ter that operation, was only about thirty feet. About forty•five people remained on beard of the lighters on Monday night, and they wire neatly all run down by a large brig, which came up in the dark. A dense fog being in the Frith at the time, the brig did not perceive the lights (four or five) veil:eh those on board the lighters had out, till almost close upon them. On seeing hvr, the men raised a loud shout. The helm was immediately put down, when the brig was enabled to clear them by about six feet ! Had she not answered the helm at once, the lighters and all the people on board must have been sent to the bottom. Tne chains keep a firm hold on one side, but invariably give way on the other, which shews that the vessel must on that side be severely shattered. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING.

Tuesday, the King's huntsman and h,unds, together with a cart, in which was a fine deer, left Windsor Forest, to proceed twenty-eight miles from the kennel, to he in readiness fur the en suing day's diversion, Prince's Risborough, which is C 8 miles distant, was the place fixed for the deer to be turned out, at which place a numerous field of sportsmen, of whom a large pro portion were Gentlemen farmers, from great distances in the sur rounding country, were assembled, on Wednesday morning, to partake of the day's sport. The deer was turned out of the cart at the usual time, at Prince's Risborough ; the deer chewed great sport at starting, not running many miles ahead, but m siting a number of double.. There was a deal of hard running. The deer was at last overtaken, after a hard chace of two hours. Mr. Davis, the King's huntsman, was the only person up at the time, all the oilLer sportsmen being knocked up. The deer was killed by the dogs. SWAFFIIAM COURSING IMEETING, NOWlialt 16.

Tuesiay, two Gentlemen of Glasgow laid a considerable bet to trot their own horses a distance of nine miles. One of the riders weighed 17 stone, the other only 11. The lightest rider, however, on the previous evening, judged it proper to decline the trial, and forfeited stakes. The other Gentleman was on the ground at the appointed time, and was backed to trot the nine miles in 36 min. —This he accomplished in fine style (his mare never once breaking into a gallop) in 33 min. leaving three to spare. About 30 horses started same time at full gallop, but only foot' were able to keep up with him the whole distance. The umpire at the race bought the mare next morning at 80 guineas, and declares that be would not now take 100 guineas for her. It is said there is now living in Cha►leston, South Caroli.ta, a Mrs. Mitchell, aged 105 years; she has goo.l eyesight, walks without a staff, and attends public worship generally every Sunday.
