The South Sea Bubble and the numerous Frandukut Pro jects to which it gave rise in 1720, historically dettiled as a Beacon to the unwary (Oast Modern Schemes (enumerated in an Appendid), ept,flli visionary and nefarious. lebuo. pp. 143. London, 1825. This neat and cheap little wo.k contains a summary history of the South .!ea Babble from its commence ment to its explosion; to this is added, from Anderson's history of Commerce, an account of the other specula tions to which it gave the ; and a I;st clf the projects* 1100, on foot ; we cannot . , however, agree with the atitirn, that any of the Companies now forming, are either so visionary or nefarious as those of 1720. Indeed, although we have doubts as to the success of some of the new Companies, yet we do not think any of them either very extravagant or irrational, and as to nefariousness, we believe that is a charge which cannot be substantiated against one of them. The respectability of the Directors of ali these Companies, is a guarantee against anything fraridnlent: far different was the case with the schemes in 1720, when any into who could raise money to advertise or prilit a prospectus, and hire a room for a day in the City, might pick up a few hun dred pounds in deposits, for airy project, however pre 7 posterous: and how absurd they were, we need only mention that there wan one for " Laur ante against Lt-ss by Servants:" another, for " Making Oil from Sun flowers ;" a third Company for " Raising Silk Worms;" a fourth, for " Planting M u lbe r ry -trees; a fifth, for «Trading in Human flair;' a sixth, for " Fatting of Hogs ;" a seventh, for " Importing a number of large Jack-asses from Spain, in order to breed a large kind of Mules in England ;" and lastly, for the " line would stretch to the crack o'doom," there was a subscription advertised, and actually opene3, " for an undertaking Which shall in due time bt revealed r' Now, it is scarcely fair to class such insane projects as those with the Companies recently projected, most of which have for their object national works; and not one, that we have yet oh,erved, bears any great appear. ance of improbability about it. We, however, recom mend this little work, as containing much curious in formation relative to a very extraordinary period in the history of British Commerce. A Selection of French Melodies, with Symphonies and • Accompanineents. By W. EAVISTAFF; the !fords by W. 1-1. BELLAMY, Esq. Part I. We are glad to see our English composers doing jus tice to Ftench music. The melodies here selected are very beautiful, and nrich good taste is displayed in the symph.-nies and accompaniments. The words, too, which areoriginal, do great c,edit to the poeti_al ta• lents of Mr. Bellamy, and are peculiarly suited to the musk. if as much care and judgment is shewn in the succeeding numbers of this work, it will form an ele gant and valuable collection of French melodies.

The friends and supporters of this excellent Charity met yesterday evening, at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, in aid of its funds, when, at about siz o'clock, between two and three hundred persons sat down to a sumptuou3 dinner, WILLSANI MANNING, Esq. M.P. in the Chair, in the absence of Lord Mst.vit.t.a. After the cloth was removed, "the KING," and other toasts were drank; and in the course of the evening the Secretary's Report, which presented a very flatter ing account of the institution, was read. It appears that the another of patients received di board the Sea- men's Hospital Ship Grampus, from Oct. 24, 1821, to February 2, 1825, amounts to 3,369, including Eng•{ lish, Scotch, Is ith, and others from various parts of this *odd ; 3,198 were received from his Majesty's Navy; the H.mottrable East India Company's Service, and Merchant Vessels of different nations. Prior to the es tablishment of the Institution, it was ascertained that the number of Seamen destitute of medical advice, in the port of London, was from seven to 800. The num bers since received into the hospital have been in the year 1821, 413 ; 1822, 788; 1823, 919 ; 18'24, 1249.

Lord Gifford appeared at the table in his robes, as Deputy Speaker, in the abseil - cc of the Lord Chancel lor. On his right, Lord Gifford was supported by Lord Colchester, and on his left by the Duke of Sussex. — Lord Saltoun was also present. One appeal occupied the House during the whole of the day. It was that of Andrew Macdowell, Egg. of Logan, appellant, and Alexander Macdow•ell, agent and manager for the owners of the brig Lord Nelson. and her cargo. The point at issue was respecting the shipwreck. Counsel had been heard at great length, and •Dr. Lustinvcvou was proceeding at four o'clock, when Lord GIFFORD said, I beg to remind you, Dr. Lush ington, that it is f9ur o'clock, and that at such hour ap peals must terminate. I mention it because the other business of the House, will always require an adjourn ment punctually at such appointed hour. As you have net concluded your address, perhaps it would be better that the further consideration of this appeal should be postponed till to-morrow. Dr. LusniNorom observed, that if the House would indulge him with ten minutes' attention more, he would undertake to conclude in such time; and such indul gence would preclude the necessity of adjournment. The time was granted, and Dr. Lushington concluded in less than seven minutes. Lord Girrcnto said, judgment on the appeal must be postponed. At the conclusion of the business, the Duke of Sus sex, who appears now to enjoy excellent health, came down to the House, went to Dr. Lushington, and shook hands with him very cordially. The Duke remained some time in conversation with the Learned Counsel. The appeals will be resumed, and the hearing of them, before the last four Peers, will continue daily through the Session, Saturdays and adjournments of the House excepted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. . ' BON-STREET. Yesterday; two Students at Law were called to the her under ra ther awkward circumstances. It appeared that they, and seven other Students at Law, brimfull of forensic mutton and its conco mitants, sallied forth from Lincoln's Inn Hall, on Tuesday evening, as jolly as so many sand-boys surcharged with max-mingled heavy. There was just a triple trio of them—to wit : three Toms, three Arries, and threeßobs ; and they were resolved to distinguish themselves. So the first man they met they bosnsetted—that is to say, they gave him a tap on the top, in such manner as to extinguish the light of his countenance with the lid of his own knowledge box. He was but a small subject, and therefore he took the extinction quietly ; but he was wary withal, and he followed them at a distance, not doubting but they would soon give him an opportunity of turning the tables upon them. And so it turned out; for they bad not swaggered many yards further— scarcely half way dung Carey.street, when they tried to extinguish a watchmen in the same way. Bat the watchman was awake; and seizing the extinguisher by the collar of his drab Amjansin: eight of the niue butted t and the valiant extinguisher was led away to the watch-house in double quick time, and there charged with the double offence of bennetting two of his Majesty's liege subjects—the watchman, and the small man first mentioned. Whilst the charge was making, one of the eight who had bolted, repenting himself of having left his friend in the gripe of a base plebeian, came thun dering at the watch-house door, demanding instant admittance. He was admitted instantly, and taking out a bonnie silken purse," he Sung it manfully on the table, declaring it contained " a deal of sovereigns," and demanding that it should be received as a pledge (or his friend's liberation. The nocturnal constable opened the purse; and, instead of " a deal of saverAgns," he found in it only kay-a-crown ; and therefore he desired the Gentleman to put it in his pocket, and go home quietly to bed. But he would not ; and there fore he was deposited with his friend in the underground receptacle. Thus far was the statement of the watch Man, and the little person aforesaid ; and their statement was fully corroborated by a remark ably fat, and very respectable inhabitant of Carey-street, who de clared that the first student—he that was seized by the watch man, was so " mad drunk," that it was as much as t hree stout men could do " to quoit hint dowp into the hole !" The students attempted to set up a defence, on account of their having been interrupted by somebody in opening an umbrella • but as this bad nothing to do with the matter at issue, the Magi strate directed that they should find bail for their appearance at the Quarter Sessions. Eventually, however, they were liberated on the disinterested intercession of the parties aggrieved, and they went off with a Magisterial admonition for their future government.

CAMEL TIMATMENT TO WIPROTICTIO COILDWZILA Cal!, which in its circumstances bears some analogy to the treatment of the chimney-sweepers' boys, which was noticed some days ago, came un yesterday before Mr. Conan, the sitting Magistrate. Johnston, one of the °lacers of St. George's, Hanover-square, placed before the Magistrate an interesting little boy, six years of age, of the name of James Ryan, who had been found lying in Os ford-street, by the watchman. On being questioned at the watch. house, he said that he dared not go home, because he had had only a penny given him in the day, and because he had no more the man who kept him would beat him and give him no victuals. Mr. Cosastr—lt it astonishing that bitch occurrences as these should be sisifered:—bold the child up while I ask a few questions. The child was then placed on the Bench, when, to the inquiries of the humane Magistrate, be said that his name was James Ryan, his mother bad been dead these four year s, and his father had left him by himself ; how be came under the protection of Martin he did not know. In the morning he was always seat out to beg and get what he could; when be got a good deal of money he was ca ressed, and got victuals: a few days ago he had eleven-pence given him, which he took home • the day before be bad only a penny, and having so little he da red not go home. Mr. Copan—Why dared you not go home? Child—Because I should have been beat, and bad no victuals given sae. Mr. Comm—What does the man do whom you live with? Child—in the morning he goes out and sells water-creases, and, in the afternoon, matches. Mr. CoLiar—Do you have plenty of victuals to eat? Child—No, Sir ; very little; and when I get no money—none. Mr. Coo:Jay—What do you Sean ? Child—(We understood him to say) the boards. Mr. Oulaarr--Geod Goa! how is it possible that people can be so unfeeling, and unmindful of the welfare of children, as to inure them from the cradle to every species of vice and vrickedness,tutor ing them to depravity, and suffering them to remain in the grossest Ignorance ; if they are not able to support them, why not send them to the workhouse? Mr. CONAN'T then turned to the officer, and said," Take the child back until some of the parish officers of St. Giles come, and kt them take him in." The features of the child indicated that fte bad been but scantily fed, while his appearance proved that he came from a receptacle of wretchedness. Accounts from Stockholm state, that on the 20th of November there was a dreadful storm at Malmoe, by which some vessels were stranded and others sunk. Accounts from the Helder olthe 3d inst. say :—" The sea beats today with such fury against the dikes, that great fears are enter tamed lest it should give way. The waves beat over the dike, which has sustained much damage in the long continued storms. All the inhabi tants of this district are in motion to employ means to avoid the danger as well as possible." On the 13th of January, the Queen of SWEDEN gave a splendid ball and supper, at which alMost all those persons who are usually received at Court were present.
