THE PAMPHLETEER, No. XLY. This Number, which is no way deficient in variety or interest to any of its predecessors, has just made its appearance. The Pamphleteer conjains, such' an ample collection of valuable documentary matter, that it ought to form part of the furniture of every politician's and merchant's library. , • THE COMPONITIM., In the STAR of the Ist inst. we announced that under this name a new musical instrument of very singular powers Was exhii)itio ,, in Paris. The 'following parti culars, 6 respecting it, which we copy from The Harmo vicom, are certainly calculated to excite no small degree of curiosity : " This extraordinary instrument has excited consider able interest at Paris. Its ingenious inventor, M.Win : , kel, of Airnsterdam, has given it the astonishing faculti , of imitating extemporaneous petformance, and of re ducing into harmonic form all the Tossible combina tions, which the most bold and fertile imaginition could produce. The prodigies announced respecting it, at the same time that they awakened the curiosity, also ex cited the distrust of the musical public, as to the reality of the mechanical means to which such wonderful re ' iults were attributed. The charge of charlatanism to Which this incredulity gave rise against the proprietors of the Componium, rendered it necessary for them to prove that, in effect, what they gave out to be a ma chine, laid no further claim to human sensation than what it received from the hand of a man of extraordi- . . nary ingenuity." The instrument was tried before " a considerable body of saunas, composers, and enlightened amateurs, among whom were Messrs. Le-Soeur, Boyeldieu, Ber ti), tatel, 1-I,theneck, Paer, Biot, of the Academie des Sciences; Mr. Breguet, junior; the Duke de Grams mont, le Comte de Montesquieu, &c. "4 The Componium,' as tried before this assemblage of impartial judges, produced upon the auditory an ef 'feet difficult to be described. The astonishment of the hearers was at its height when, after having executed a march, with variations by Moscheles, the instrument -was left to follow its own inspirations : the applause was loud and unanimous, and some exclaimed that it was altogedier miraculous. " Still, the more perfect the execution, the stronger the feeling of issledulity became. The company there. fore requested Messrs. Cate' and Biot to examine the in strument, and to decide by their report upon the future fame or coiidemnation of the machins. Gentle - men complied with the general rcque.t, and reported that, When this instrument has received a varied theme, which the inventor has had time to fix by a pro cess of his own, it decomposes the variations of itself, and reproduces their diffsrent parts in ail the orders of possible perniutation, the same as the most capricious • imaginatign roi3lit do; it forms successions of sound so diversified, and' produced by a principle so arbitrift y, that even the person the best acquainted with themecha • niers' construction of the instrument, is unable to foresee at any given moment the chords,that are about to be pro duced.—That a single example ss ill suffice to shew the freedom of choice that is permitted by jt. None of the airs which h varies lasts above a minute; could it be sup posed that but one of these airs was played without in terruption, yet, though the principle of vatiability which it possesses, it might, without ever resunsing precisely the same combination, continue to play not only during years and ages, but during so immense a series of ages that, though figures might be brought to express them, common language could not.' 7 te Life and Times of Salvator Rosa.

Her Ladyship, however, has not confined herself entirely to the Life or even to the age of Rosa ; but has adduced much curis ous historical matter, accompanied with some li4spy philosophical views tespecting the revival of the Fine Arts and Music in Italy ; the progress of Philosophy, and the state of Religion , and Morals after the revival of learning in the west of Europe.

We have to regret, however, that want of room com pels us to omit:some of the Notes: The perfection attained in the Art of Painting during the Waddle ages, had its source in the political combinations of times when a predominant hierarchy held the ascensbrnt, and the Church was—the State.

".The splendid architecture and elegant decorations of the pagan temples of Greece and Rome had been 'rejected by the nascent Church, as tecalliug, through their associations, the doctrines and practices of that brilliant religion, which it was the interest of its sterner successor to bury in oblivion. But,when the rude mon-. strosities pictured on the walls of the ancient ecclesiasti cal edifices of Lombardy, and the unavailing crusades. of the Iconoclasts against the imaginative tendencies of the Italians, exhibited the innate impulse of the people. towards dec'oration, the Church, taught by experimental demonstration the difficulty of securing faith by abstrac • Under Gregory (the first Pope and Saint) surnamed -the Great. The hatred of this Pontiff against the ancient religion of Rome maw so tierce, and his desire to destroy an remembrance of it so ardent, that he is accused of having reduced to ashes the Palatine Library collected by Augustus Cs' tsar, and of having thrown the most precious works of antiquity into the Tiber. This policy, though barbarous, was expedient fox the day—the sixth century. tions, or of satisfying the plssions with invisible objects of adoration, wisely enlisted the arts in her serviet. " Painting (which, in the progress of civilization, pie cedes music, as being less abstracted in its principles,! and move tangible in its effects) was, even as early as the thirteenth century, adopted by the Church as a means of riveting her power, by bringing over the' senses to her interest. Its effects were in •gical :it per sonified the essence which thought could not reach; it depicted the mystery which reason could not explain ;1 it revealed the beatitudes of Heaven, and the punish ments of Hell, in imagery which struck o pon the dullest apprehenSions and intimidated the hardiest conscience ; and the Madonnas of Cimabuet and the saints of Giottot were found to be no less influential in their calling, than the Councils of the assembled Church and the Bulls of the Lateran. Eyes which shed no tears over the recited sufferings of the SAVIOUR, wept grate fully over the•pictured agonies of a self-sacrificed me diator; and stubborn knees,.unused to bend in mental devotion, dropped involu - ntaiily before shrines where a fair young mother and her blooming offspring, a virgin pat eat and an infant Gon, awakened religious adoration thongli human sympathies. " The doctrines of a mystic creed thus enforced through palpable forms addressed to the affections, pow. erfully assisted to awaken faith through feeling; for that which is felt, it is difficult to doubt, and that which satisfies the senses, is vainly distrusted by the under standing. The people likewise, denied the use of the Scrip tures, were now taught much of what it was expedient they should know, from pictures. The art, in process of time, became an acknowledb , ed State engine; and the artists, virtually, if not nominsilly, acting as minis ters, were soon subsidized as al; iesdi ITo be contiaurd J t The people of Florence were so struck by the Madonna of Cimabue, that the picture was carried in procession, with sound of trumpet, to the church of Santa Maria Novella, where it may still be seen in the chapel de' ltuccellai. The same painting gave the name of Borgo Allegro to the little village iu which it was painted. t Giotto, the friend and portrait painter of Dante, wets courted and employed by all the Pontiffs and pious Princes of day ; par ticularly by Clement the Fifth, and King Itubert of N4les. Dante's well known lilies " Credette Cimaliue nella pittura Truer lo campo, ed era ha Giotto ii grido," &e. brought lath still more into fashion.

Leo the Tenth courted the aid and suffrages of all the artists of his day, Whom lie flattered, however, more than he rewarded. In latter times, pain ters presided in Cabinets and were appointed to embassies. Rubens supported a high diplomatic character. • LE VT' ASSIZES. READING, MARCH 2. Daniel Grimshire was indicted for the murder of his son, WilliaM crirnshire, an infant of the age of six months. The indictment charged him with having, on the 3d of January last, feloniously, wilfully, and of malice aim ethought, poured a large quantity of boiling and scalding water into the mouth, and over the neck, i breast, and arms of the deceased, who thereby became' sore, sick, and distempered, and languished till the 18th of Januar y, when he died of the sickness and distemper occasioned by the act of his father. The prisoner, a young man of decent appearance, in the condition of a labourer, pleaded " Not Guilty." . Catherine Dew gave evidence as follows.:—I am fifty years of age. I live at Sutton Courtney. On the Ist of January last, Daniel Grimshire and his wife lived in the house with me. They had one . child, apparently rather more than six months old. The outer door opens into a brewhouse, common to butt, which parts my rooms from those of the prisoner. The doors of the rooms are nearly, but not quite, opposite to each chher. The partitions are very thin, being composer: of lath and plaster. The doors shut tolerably close. When lam in my own room I can hear the prisoner and his wife converse, but not so as to understand them. On the 3d of January I went two or three times in the course of the day into the prisoner's room. About five in the evening I went in, when Mrs. Grimshire was ironing. I held the child while she finished her ironing, by the fire-side. It was very well then; as well as I had seen it for some time. In about a quarter of an hour she said she would dress it and put it to bed before the shepherd (that was her husband) cane . home. I then returned into my own room. About, six, or a little after, I heard the prisoner come home, and go into his room. Mrs. Grimshire soon after' went out on errands. A little after, she came in, and shortly went out a second time. After sire had been • gone about two minutes, I heard the child cry out very much indeed. I said to my'boy, I could not think what had happened to little Billy, and I would go in and see. I went across the brewhouse, opened the door, and said to the pri soner, " shepherd, what makes little Billy cry so?" Ile said, " Yes, he did : 1 have been to the cradle once, and rocked him before." I had heard no cry before that on which I went in. The shepherd was sitting on, a chair which he usually sat in when he was at home., He went to the cradle, and took one side, while I took the other, and rocked the cradle. Mrs. Grim-hire came in from the shop with the things, and asked, What did little thlly cry so?" (lie was still crying.) I said, Ye 4, Ire do; I could not bear to hear him cry so, or I should not have come in." I returned to my own house. Some time after I beard the shepherd go out; and a little while after, it might be three or four minutes, Mr:. Grimshire ran in to me with the child in her arms. The' child was rather stiller, though yet crying. I sat down in the chair, and Mrs. Grimshire put tire child into my arms, while she went to call a neighbour. The child was very much scalded on the neck, round the left ear, all the cheek, mouth, breast, and shoulder. The lips were very much scalded indeed ; all up in blisters. Mrs. Warrick and I undressed it : we opened its mouth and saw that all around its mouth was blistered. It had then its night dress on. They were very wet round the neck and shoulder. It had a night cap on, tied under the chin' and wet round the ear. I began scraping a potable to mix will oil,. While Mrs. Warrick held the .child. Mrs. Grimshire werit to fetch her husband home. The prisOner cams in before her, two or three minutes ; she said she went and called him out of Mr. Reeves's. When he came in, I said,'"La I shepherd, what have .you done to little Billy l" He made me answer, and said, " I hav,e done nothing." He took .the chair, sat down, and beg ma crying very ninth indeed. The table was between the cradle and the fite. The cradle is wicker cradle with a head ; the feet were towards the fire. On the table were two cups and saucers, and a tea-pot. They had not drank tea. Other ' people ex- amined the. cradle, did not. I saw the pillow and clothes. The coverlet was not wet.• • Mr. Thomas West said—l am a surgeon at Sutton _. • • - . . , Courtney. Ott the Sd of January a man came t o my house, and I asked him if it was his child that was scalded ? 'He said it was. I asked when it was done? He said he did not know. I observed that Ile could surely tell whether it was two or three says ago, or that night He replied, " Yes, it was to-night" I asked, whether it was done an hour ago? He replied, "Not long ago, while the mother was gone to the shop." I asked if the chilli was scalded very badly ? He said, it vas. I inquired if it could be brought up to me? .He said, he did not know.' I then gave him directions as to immediate application to the child. I do not recollect anything more. A. few minutes after the child was brought in by three women, of whoirrlklrs. Warwick was one. I examined it, and found that the left side of the face was in blisters from scalding, that the ear was in a similar state, and that the mouth, lips, left side of the neck, left shoulder, and upper part of the chest, on the same side, were - blistered. The next morn ing I opened the mouth and found blisters on the tongue, inside of the cheeks, and gums. I continued to attend tie child regularly till his death, which happened on the morning of - the 18th of January. I attended the Coroner's Inquest on the Roth, and asked leave to open the body. I found a dark appearance on the arm, as if the ciiculation was carried on with great languor ; the child uas thin and meagre when I first' saw him; I found no marks of internal disease; nothing in the ap pearance of the pat Is likely to produce death. The scalds wete, in my opinion, the cause of the child's death. Cross-examined.!--I cannot positively swear that the man who came to me was the prisoner. There was nothing which I observed tremulous in his voice. He %visited me to see the child. Many accidents arise from the careless use of hot water. The windpipe was not at all affected. The heat of the water might produce spas modic action, and cause the stomach to reject it. Edmund Morris said—l occupy a paper-mill at Sut toru Courtney., On theSd of January, 1 heard of what had happened, and went to the Fish public-house. I heard a man pass the house, which is cn the road, threi forlimgs from Sutton-bridge. 1 and another man named Pointer set out to catch the person whom we heard pass. We overtook him at Sutton-gate, half-a-mile from the Fish. We came up to the man, and found it was the prisoner. I said to him, " (;:jmshite, you are charged with having attempted to destroy your child ; you must go back with us." He did so w ithouwesistance ; be was crying very sadly. After n e reached Sutton46ridge, be topped, and said, I'll tell you all about it." 1 said' " Keep your own counsel ; not hear you." He twice repeated the offer, but I refused. A person going from Sutton-Courtney to Dorchester would be in the public road where we found 'him. James Pointer said--I overtook the prisoner on the other side Of the bridge. I called." ! Where are' you going?" Ile replied, "To Dorchester, after my wife's father or :bother," lam not sure which. When we reached the Fish, he told me if I would let him go borne, he would tell n.e all about it.— This was the case for the protecution. The prisoner, being called on fOr his defence, said that lie took a bAsin to the kettle, and filled it. Ai he went across the loom, he stumbled against the cradle, and the accident happened. He loved the child as his own life, and declared himself " as innocent as the child unborn." Mr. Baron Gatutow summed up the evidence with great minuteness. Ile strongly urged the improbabi lity of the commission of so dreadful a crime, for which no motive was suggested, and by such means, and ad- monished the Jury not to convict the prisoner unless they were satisfied beyond all doubt of his guilt.—The Jury, after.dcliberating for a short time, returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Baron GA now proceeded to pass on the prisoner the dreadful sentence, Abit be should be executed on Thursday, and his body.linatoniked ; and held out no hope of mercy.. 7 -Tha prisoner mtnifeste4 'very little emotion during the trial, on the delivery of the verdict; or when he was taken .from the bar..

Belcher, Spring, in alluding to the expense of erecting the stage.' said,- that he thought it but far, as this was Langan's fancy (who had now entered the room), that he should bear the whole expense.— To which Langan replied, " See, now, Tom; say nothing about that, for if I win, and I think I will, I'll bear the whole ex pense of the stage myself—(Loud cheers). But howsomever, that's neither here nor there, I hope the best man will win, and though we're going to fight, it's myself that would go a hundred miles to serve you ; for I have no antipathy or ill blood towards you whatever." • . THZ Does BILLY AND TH3 DZ3KSHIRE RAT•KILLET4—The match between these two celebrated vermin destroyers took place on Tue;clay night, at the pit in Dock-lane, Westminster. The ca pabilities of Billy are pretty well known, and the Berkshire bitch had been much talked of The match war fur twenty sovereigns, and the undertaking was, that the bitch killed fifty rats in less time than Billy, and as a proof that no ordinary interest was excited by the event, it is only necessary to mention that the pit was crammed, and amongst the visitors there were members of the Senate and the Bar. Dew backed his Billy, and a Mr. Wise, who by the bye, acted rather foolishly in the business, backed the bitch. A toss decided :bat Billy should commence the sport; fifty full-grown rats were turned into the pit by Cheatham, the well known rat catcher, and in the space of five minutes and six seconds they all lay dead at the feet of Billy. The pit being cleared of the dead, the bitch was let in. and fifty rats were turned out of a cage to her. By the time she- had killed thirty of the rats, she betame exhausted, and lay barking and yelping on the ground, with her mouth open, without attempting to kill the vermin that were hanging about her nose; a decided proof in the estimation of those present, of her not being bred high enough,—and a quarter of an hour elapsed be fore she completed her task. Billy was therefore declared the con queror bribe umpires.- It is now confessed that tio dug in the Kingdom can match with Billy at rat - killing, though he has mill two teeth in his head, and-one eye! A bet of eOO sovereigns wa, subsequently offered, that silly killed lOU rats in less tense thau.the bitch killsd half the number. POLICE isttuteakcE. th i e lk f ih tib e l e ic r: .

The parcel should have been delivered in. Lothbury on Tlll ; jay . but, to the astonishment of the house, no parcel reached them ; and as they could get no satisfactory intelligence at the inn, a racns was dispatched, requiring the attendance of the eh rks porters who might have had charge of the parcel, or through hands it might have passed. Mr. Hawses. attended upon the part of the owners of the notes, llr stated, that what was peculiar in this case was, that in the na. , . bill the parcel was mentioned, and ticked off as delivered, ail so involved and complicated were the arrangements of carriage delivery of goods, that there appeared to be no possibility of .okt . taining through what means, either of intention or car e : esscesa, the loss had taken place. The Public were, he added, deeply interes•••t in the subject, as there was no security for property traiismitted from one place to another. -One of the clerks produced the way-bill, which included a perm directed to Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co. the carriage of whit!, amounted to ts. Sd. The parcel was ticked off to one of the port er , of the establishment, whose name is Bellringer, who Was of coots,: responsible for that sum to Mr. Waterhouse. Another of the clerks, who was in the habit of checking th- way. bill, stated that he had done so in this instance, and that I:e ticked . offahr.parcel to Messrs. Junes and Lloyd, but /a: had a‘ir seen the .parceL The Loan MAYOR expressed surprise at his having ticked clia parcel which he had not seen. The clerk said it was usual,. in the great !miry of business, to tick off without looking to the articles included in the way-bill. The Loan Mavon asked whether. it was not the duty of the clerks, when a parcel mentioned in the way-bill was not found, to mention that circumstance to their employer? The clerk said, in answer to this cniestion, that he really had not observed whether the parcel was or was not to be found- Another person always called over the parcels, and whethec this part.o.lar parcel bad, been called over or not, he could not determine. r were mistakes of the kind constantly occurring. The Loan Mayou.—We must enclaavour to put an end to takes, which so frequently deprive persons ol their propert), a 1 leave them no means of-redress. • lieUritiger, the porter, was then questioned. He •ahlr. that !..• one of the porters of the establishutztit, and was alio xed ....Os:. ant. He - was responsible fur parcels dir..cted to th.., ground the house of Messrs. Jones and Lloyd was, but 1w did pot . deliver on that ground. His assistart delivered there. The p4te was entered in the book to his account, but he lead never seen ' nor been paid for it ; nor had he of course paid for it. Mr. HARII6II.—MiS sort of confusion, by which the Ptiblic are exposed to such serious losses, entirely contraveues the effirt to pro. cure justice. Suppose the notes bad been whole, and ha circulation, a very 'serious sum would be totally lust. It is a Moit thing that a man's property should be subject to he blown ..w. y from him, and that no chance either of recompense or faction should remain. The assistant to DeWinger was called. lie knew nothing, !1.1 said, about the parcel. lle had never received it, never been paid for it, and of course never delivered it. The Loan illsvoa.--you, are perfectly right, Mr. Harmer, is saying that the Pubite are grossly treated by the persons conneetid with inns. What security can I have, that if a parcel be direct- t to me I shall ever receive it? The , constant and dreadful impoti. Lions to which we are all liable, have induced the Cilurt of Alder. men to apply for an Act of Parliament to give Magistrates a pewee of making more strict inquiry into the cauie oldie loss at pa:,:tic, and to punish irregularities by which confusion likely to Lau fe..e with the detection of a felony is engendered. Air. HA tam said; he was sorry to say the ease coitH not be pur sued further. There was no trace of the notes, and all that w,ttld be done at the inn, was by reference from one clerk to another, :rail from one porter to another. One of the clerks observed, that the parcel had been entered as a common parcel, by no means a proper security for poperty of value, which might be secured by insurance. The LORD MAvon said, the omission, with respect to insuring goods was no excuse for the disappearance of property confided to the care of innkeepers. He trusted, and indeed he was convinced, that this Session of Varliament would not pass over, without snow enactment for the protection of parcels. Here the case ended, but Mr. Mauve assured the Loan Maros that everything should be done to trace the half notes. BOW-STREET. CAUTION TO COTOITABLtS.....MT.
