LITERATURE. Memoirs and Diary of the celebrated Mr. Pens. F.dikd , by Lot d BRATBR )01(14 This very curious and interesting work, which gives so faithful a picture of the manne:s /lid events of the, griddle arid latter part of the seventeenth century, has just appeared. The origi .al manuscript was written ] in short hand, and has been deciphered by Mr. John Smith, late Deputy Bedell to the Univer.:ity of Cam., bridge, and Curate of 'Lanham, Norfolk. The diffi culties which Mr. Smith must have encountered may be in some degree conceived, when it is stated that the., Diary was written in the author's short-hind, who, must have had a stronger desire than ordinary for, concealmer to n account of the dangerous nature of some , part of %chat he committed to paper ; and the work is, slot ithstanding, executed with a fide:ay which speaks for itself. The following extracts from this y are amusing, when it is considered that the work of mhich Mr. Pepys here speaks so slightingly is now universally acknowledged to be one of the wittiest books in any language. In excuse f t Pepys, it shou'd however be remarked, that his early education and habits must have made:tin lo •It with some aversion on the unsparing satirist of an order of men for whom he had evidently some affection. " Dec. 26, 1662.—T0 the Wardrobe. • Hith.r came Mr. Battersby ; and we falling into discourse of a new book of drol ery is use, called Hudibras, I would needs go to find it out, and met with it at the Temple: cost me 26.6 d. But when I come to read it it is so silly an abuse of the Presbyter Knight going to the war Is, that I am ashamed of it; and by and by, meeting at Mr. T , wnsend's at dinner, I sold it to him for ls. 6d. 44 Feb. 1662-S.—To Lincoln's Inn Fields ; and it being too soon to go to dinner, 1 walked up and down, and looked upon the outside of the new theatre build ing in Covent-garden, which will be very fine. And so to a boaksell.:i's in the Strand, and there bought Iludibras again, it being certainly some ill humour' to be so against that which all the world cries up to be the, example of wit ; fir which I am resolved once more to , read hi n, and see whether I can find it or no. 66 N 28,1663 —To Paul's Church-yard, and there looked upon the second part of Hudibras which I buy not, but borrow to veld, to see if it be as good as the first, which the world cried so mightily though it bath not a good liking in me, though I had tried but twice or three ti:nes reading to bring myself to think it wi.ty. " Dec. 10.—To St. Paul's Chorch-yatd, to my book seller's, • and could not tell whether to lay out my money for books of pleasure, as plays, which my nature was most earnest in ; but at last, after seeking Chaucer, Dugdale's History of Paul's, Stow's Londin, Gesner, liistoty of Trent, besides Shakspeare, Johnson, and B aomont's plays, I last chose Dr.. Fuller's Worthys, the Cabbala . or Collections of Letters of State, and a Delices ds Ilollande, with another little book or two, all of good use or serious pleasure ; and Iludibras, both pasts, the book nnw in grLatest fashion for drollery, though I cannot, I confess, Lee enough where the wit lies. My mind being thus settled, I wet by link borne, and so to my office, and to read Itustiworth ; and so home to supper and to hed.

AggiNDE olt MIND —The effect of absence of mind is well exemplified in an incident which happened some time since .to a well-known Gentleman 9f Magdalen College, Cambridge.

COVET OF KING'S' BENCH, J JNB ss. 4 BURT et. LONGRURSTs The partiesin this case are propsietors of two stags coaches running to Sydertharn, and the action was brought to rec-ver a compensation for the damages the plaintiff had received by having his coach run against by the defendant's. Th4ese was this:—According to the street-regulatiOns in Gracechurch-street, where the two coaches ply, they were compelled to leave their' standing precisely at eight o'clock in the evening, and at . the time the plaintiff's coach started, on the evening of Easter Monday, to proceed on the journey, he saw the defendant's beh:nJ, at a distance p of twenty-five yards. Mr. Dart's coachman bad jam drawn slowly into the middle of the road, when lie.heard a c.:ach come TRW ng behind him, and in a moment after the defendant's coachman drove against the near leader of the plaintiff's coach, in his attrnipt to gallop by, on the wiong side of the road. The borse was knocked down, and had one of his legs much lacerated. It continued, under a farrier's care for nearly five weeks, and the expense for curing it amounted to two guineas. The harness was also slightly injured. Mr.Longhurst's stage was in oppo ition to the plaintiff's. On the part of the defendant, it was distinctly stated, that at the time his coach started, the road was per- Ictly clear, and that the plaintiff, to prevent pass ing, suddenly chew his horse- across the street, in a manner that made it impossible to prevent driving against. them. The Jury, after haying delibecated some time, asked ibe Lord Chief Justice if they could return a verdict by which each party would have to pay his own costs? upon which it was suggested by his Lordship, that it would be better to withdraw a Juror—a course which, in the end, was adopted. HALE V. WEEDnN. This was an action by a tailor at HarefiAJ, near Uxbridge, against a baker residing i.) the same place, for slander. It appeared that the plaintlf, the 9:h of August last, weat before a Magistrate to charge a person named Taplin with an assaalt, on which ccca sian the defendant said his oath ought not to be taken, he was forsworn, and no man wouid sit on a : I,,ry with him, which expression • f e also usel at a pabnc house, called "The Cricko. - ,1: , ." Mi. Norton, th. Etorliey for the plaintiff, was.called to prove that the def. ndant had admitted thathe used the word " perjured,' which t!i..l not appear on the other evidence, - and which has been held necessary to sustain an action on such a Charg.., unless the word" forsworn" be explained as having re ference to some judicial proceedings. To contradict. 'Mr. Norton, Taplin, ttie man charged with the assault, Was called, who said that theitttorney had - givALlitni diff rent accouat of his conversatiowwith the defendant. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant on tbepinnti.al• leging the word " perjured" es spoken ; and for . the plaintiff on the other eounts,which leaves the question of law open to a mottos) In arrest of judgment. • • • . . COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 24. THE ADTORNEY GENERAL V. DEARS. This Case, which is of considerable importance, as it affects Accountant s "to the Crown, and particul trly Army Agents, Reginiental Paymasters, and all other, whose accounts are et +mined at the War Office, came on to be heard before the Barcitioi the Exchequer,. in the shape of an argument on exceptions, taken. by. the Law Offi era of the Crown, to the defendant's answer to an information Filed against Ilia., as the executor of his father, at the instance if the Secretary at It . ar. Toe accounts question , which were those of air. n at y agent, related to the expenditure of a re?i:nent fr rn the year 1794 to 1797. thirty years ago, and h al been iehvered into the War ()the • in the year Psoo, twenty-five years •a ;0. The examination tf tl.ern waa completed (as defendatd contended) • about the year. 1807, and the usual clearing warrant (the only final' discharge which an army agent can obtain on the set tlement of an account, and the payment or receipt of the balance) bad been granted to the defendant utidery the Kin g 's Sign Manual. The accounts remained un disturbd and unnoticed in any way by the War Offict.-, for the sp ,ca of sixteen years, except on one particti lar occasion, when the defendant' received a letter, dated in November, 1814, in which the present Secre tary at War declared the accounts horn 1794 to 1797, 4 to have been finally settled, and the ch aring warrants carried into execution at the 0 lice of the Paymaster-. General." But in April, 18=23, the defendant was re quired by a letter from the Secretary at War, not only to make a retut'n to his offi: e, the consequence of a compliance with which would have been to open for re-examination, all the above-mentioned accounts for the petiod 1794 to 1797, but als ta deliver his ledgers and books of account into the NVar Office for inspection, a practice p rfecCy unknown in the time of any weeding Secretary at War. 'the defendant refused to make any return whatever to the War Office requisition, or to produce his books; alleging, that the accounts particularly referred to, viz. those of 1794 to 1797, had been fin illy settled in the year 1807. In consequence of this refusal, the Secretary at War ordered an information to be filed against the defendant by the Attorney-General; to which 'an «:- seer was put in an oath, stating that t:.e accounts for 1794 to 1797-had been examined aad finally settled near twenty yens ago; and qw , ting the Secretary at M'ar's own letter of November,lBl4, and the clearing wan ants signed by the King. To this ans.% er exceptions we: e filed,on the ground that the defendant had not fully answered the informa.i.m (which was drawn in such ambiguous language, that it was vet y d fficult, if not impossible; to ascet tain its teal object), and the effect of the exceptions was, to extend the. operation of the information to any and every periods and to es ery account of every Regiment wall which the defendant's late father had had any concern during his whole life, taking a retrospect of at least half a century. T'e COURT allowed the exceptions, but strongly sug Bested the propriety of confining the information to the period 1794 :421797, and to one particular corps, which, after some discussion, was agreed to by the Counsel for the Crown. Beside the attempt to open the accounts, the defendant was required by the information to make out a schedule of " all ledgers, books of account, ac iounts,,papers, wr: rings, memorandums, receipts, vouch ers, letters, or copies or extracts from such several docu ments, relating to the matters aforesaid, and also to.de liver up all such ledgers, &c. &c. for the inspection of ,the Secretary at War, his Cierks, or the Law Offi c er s of the Crown." There wire one or two minor points discussed, but of little consequence to the general merits of the eines don at issue above stated. It seems, therefore, from this proceeding, that the account of an Army Agent. or Regimental Paymaster,- can never be finally settled.; but that he may be called "'NM when, and. as often as a Secretary at War pleases, and Ji 3;anoe of time, to repass his account, to produce: his barks, &c. and that a declaration under the halt of a Secretary at War, that accounts bate been finally settled,". and the productiln of the usual clearing war• rant signed by the King (the only possible discharge that an Army Agent can ob:ain) go for nothing; and consequently that he must for e%er remain a debtor, and accountable to the Crown; the natu*e. and MITS . ! of examination of an Ai my Agent's Account precluding him from obtaining a quietus from the Exchequer. WESTAIiNSTEU LOUR[ OF REQUEbTS. MURPHY V. FM The plaintiff, in this suit, claimed IL 10s. 2d. which Foy, as is almost invariably the case, denied that he owed ; the plaintiff was therefore ordered to make out her claim in the best way she could ; and the principal object in reporting this case, is to shew the strange modes resorted to by the pourer classes in this metro polis, to rase money. Mrs. Murphy stated, that Mr. Foy, her countrym in, they were native. of the Emerald Lie, being rante short of the needful, came to her to borrow a sove reign ; " and where would I have one," said she ; but Foy was pressing, and the tender-hearted Mrs. Mur• phy 'dented so far as to lend hem--what think ye? not a sovere gn, but more than a sovereign's-worth r f her best Sand iy, chapel-going garments : to wit, a cloak, a shawl, and a pair of boots, all better than new, that he might pawn the s•me forces much as he could, and redeem them for her again, when lie wait, ab:e, or rather willing. Nis, the day of utility, or willingness, had never at r ived ; Mr. Foy, :he 'ingrate rful, not ca:ing for Mrs. Murphy being star ved lot the want cf her cloak and shawl, and weL-foot.Nl for the want of the ne boots ; and though he was te r mate „Hy pressed to redeem them, suffered the ye it aad a day, the• pawnbroker's period r f grace, to elapse, and the whole cleg*iit trio of garments were sold, as u•ual, to the b..st bidd r, by au:tion. Thus situated, . Mrs. Mterphy, finding that sit:. could neither get mon y, shawl, - cloak, n bouts; and that moreover it xas bootless to complain, or a.k Ft) , any wore about them, had made up her wind to take the law of him. and here he was, looking like a pitiful fell*, x, to an swer ir. In tact, he could not answer it ; but he ad :r i tad that he had borrowed the articles as st •ted ; had pawned them, and spent the money ; and that, c nintrytnan of her's as he was, he would not pay it at all, at all, if he could help it.

He was intent upon tlee service, and kept his eyes fixed upon his two more unf .rtunae and less culpable companions,— The two Sheriffs, and Mr. Mattyln, the Under-Sheriff; werepresent dating the service. The Ordinary took his text from Ecclesiastes, ch. xi. v. 9, " Rejoice, 0 youmg man, in the days of thy youth, end let thy hear,t cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and in the sight of thine eyes, but know thou that for all those things (ion will.bring thee unto judgment." The condemned ate very you 'g, Goff not being 21 years of age, and Dunn being no more than 17. At the conclu sion of the service, the Sher .M ordered that Crawley should attend them in a private room, when he stated the circumstances of the crime for which his compa•• nions were about to be executed. He declared that he had planned the robbery, and induced the others to join him. He solemnly protested that he was by far the most criminal, both as to the particular offence with which the three were charged, aad with respect to the transactions of their past life. Mr. Sheriff BROWN determined, after thelnquiry, to go to the Secretary of State, far the purpose of communicating the result of this investigation.— 'Limes.

A most r owetful fellow, named Charles Horn, attacked th,.; Lieutenant, whom he knocked down. Trie latter, however, recovering himself, seized his 'an tapnist, and, drawing a pistol from his pocket, threatened to fire it if he mede any more resistance. The smuggler instantly snatched a second pistol froth' the Lieutenant's pocket, but before he had time to cock it, the Lieutenant fired at the smuggler, who fell dead at his feet. The other five tvere taken; but one of them is covered wth wounds, and net expected to survive:. Horn, who was shot, has left a wife and five chihirer, and, we understand, was only discharg ed from prison about nine dais ago, 'where he' had b een confined for a smuggling tran,action. Lieut.

WORSHIP-STREET. Saturday, Frederick Wilson, alias Jahn CAper ' alias William o,olrie, was brought for final examination before Mr.Oseones, the Magis trate, charged with fraudulently obtaining from different persons hills of exchange to a considerable amount, under pretence of die counting them, and remitting Bank post bills for their proceeds, deducting five per cent. interest, and 25. 6d. per cent. coninaisslotr: The prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Matthews, solicitor to . the Society for suppressing swindling and preventing !rand, stated, that since the last examination, circumstances bad occurred which, if his instructions were correct, would enable• him to substantiate . against the prisoner a charge of a much heavier nature than was first preferred:against him. He was now charged with having forged the endorsement," William Ogilvie," on a bill of exchange which he hadiraudulently obtained from a Mr. John Morse, of Daventry. Two letters were then put in in evidence. One of them a circular letter, offering the loan of money on advantageous terms, and signed Ogilvie ; the other a letter of apology for neglect in sending the remittan c e after the bill had been obtained. The bill itself was afterwards produced by Mr. Bennet, an Attorney fur Mr. Booth, a horse-dealer, of No. 5, Coleman-street. It was indorsed, William Ogilvie, Fre derick Wilson, Rhodes and Co. Mr. John Morse being sworn, deposed, that having received the letter, dated January 14, signed, W. Ogilvie, offering an advance of money, lie,came to London, and on the '9th of January, he mat the prisoner by appointment, at the Vine Inn, Bishopagate-street. • The prisoner then stated his name was Wils on, and said that he trantacted business for Ogilvie, who was his brother•in-law. Be mentioned the terms on which the advance of money was to be made, namely, 5 per cent.interest, and 2s. 6d. per cent. commission. Witness approved of the terms, and drew a bill at three months for £5OO, for which the prisoner was to sent him a Bank post bill, deducting his interest and commission . but witness never received any part of It. The indorsement, W. Ogilvie, on the bill produked. he believed to be the prisoner's hand-writing. The bill was writ ten by witness himself. Legal proceedings were afterwards taken' by Booth, against witness, for recovery of the £5OO on that bill, but an injunction bad been obtained from the Chancellor to stay those proceedings Mr. Booth deposed, that he had given a valuable consideradon for the bill, and handed it to Mr. Bennet, his Attorney, the day before it became due, with instructions to proceed for the recovery of the money. Thomas Beck, of Daventry, was present when the bill was drawn, and confirmed Mr. Morse's statement.' . • James Hance deposed, that be is now In custody of 'the Mar shal of the King's Bench, at the suit of the prisoner, on a bill fee which be had received no value.
