. Chr Allan of Luneburg; or, Traditions from the Ha*. B, Miss Jane Porter. 3 Vols. England has reason 'to be proud of her female wri ter', and of Miss Porter in particular, as- one of the first'who endeavoured to give a new character to our prose works of fiction, and to stem the torrent of pseudo-sentiment which had so long been the leading characteristics of our circulating-library novels. The scene of tbis.historical romance is laid partly in Germany and partly' in England, and the period, a : most eventful one,,that of the struggle for religious emancipatiOn from Popish thraldom ; and the person& :embrace the ancestry of our . graCious King, to whom the work is dedicated. .144 e Christian is of course made as perfect as the hero of the romance should be, and his brother George s and a friend Mansel are little len perfect ; and the hisnitical part of the work consists of their successfiff - exertions ih behalf of the Protestant cause. Oar limits prohibit our giving a long analysis of these well written and instructive volumes, from which, as a specimen of the style and composition, we' quote the hiterview'between Prince Christian and Shaktpeare: Christian checked his horse, struck with the whole appearance of this man ; for his countenance was dis; tinguished as his figure; his unbonneted head display ing a brow so expansive in mental dignity, with eyes of such bright yet mild intelligence, that both seemed teddy . io mirror every high expression of which the soul of man is capable. Those speaking eyes met the fix"t;il gaze of the German Prince, who immediately moving his horse on to the side of Henry— , ,Who is that noble person ?' enquired he, in a lowered voice ; while with an answering look accompanying the bead a bit own head, he observed a something even of ef-jj pass over " . tie stranger's face, in ,Sowing to hign ! - act pl . : respect that ,appearislin eowi l ubnce, (Ciri hang- met.so fiked a regard from one he, knevi to he - ihe Prince of Luneburg.. `i 4 , 44 Who' is - he!' - rettffned . the-Prince of Wales, re-' . eirviriA.from an abs'tra4ion, which had hardly noticed the . obeisanoe he had received t--,! .Orly Shakspeare, .oer dramatist: -4 " Oaly Shakspeare?' retorted Luneburg ; 004,1 • iria;Z:.itl!•• His writings-,himself—bear one stamp Were I Prince of this laird, I know not, but I Should make that man chief of my council.

" • Before almoscany other man in Europe,' replied the Prince; and While his young friend, with one of his most gracious Smiles beckoned the poet, Christian dismotintcd.

The Abbe Nal, who, in the. year 180,. published at Milan sevetalworkt . Which he had discovered, by Fronto, Marcus - Aurelitri, L. Verus, and Xppiatts, as indefati gable in - his researches as he is fortunate in them, has lately ptiblijied at Home another co:iection of a similar nature, which l:e found in the library of the Vatican. These recovered treasures serve to correct, the produc tioit of those ancient writers which are already extant, at the same - time that they'add to their number. Every, one' knows Vie inwortanee that must attach to every fragment* Ponta, who, in his time, was cotisidered the ..prinapil orator, after Cicero.. The leamedgilitor hai given additional value to this publication by annul. bar of historical and philblogical remarks, Which rank him with the mot - distinguiilied living antiquaries.— Lilirary - IriniNG GUNS BY STEAM. lkit. s Perkins; 4i le experimenting on the expansive force of steam, subjected to very elevated temperature,. with the view of applying its power to the purposes of. the tram-enighie, was very naturally led to investigate itS,4plicatiOn in many other departMents of art, where gnat mechanicabforce was required ; and among others to that of discharging ordnance. A copper pipe of two, .ictottneeted. at one 'extretni . ty wikh the swain titieiou : belonging to Mr ! . Pe5Vll5 .itqtaved engine, and tithe other end with a climber formed of Metal fl anges ; into this chamber - a strong gun -barrel is firmly screwed, so as to be perfectly air-tight (and two others connected with it),• abcreifendefin a horizontal direction. From the upper portion hf the chamber, two pipes or tubes project..abosn• ;fifteen inches, of sufficient diameter to allow musket bullets topass 'freely down, for the purpose of loading or shotting the gun. -,--The steam being laid on the apparatus. nothing more is necessary than to lift the short lever-of a sliding valve, when the rush of steam into the chaniber instantaneously -discharges the bullet through the guts-barrel, with a force much greater than ordinary gunpowder. The bullets, being received against an iron target, are com pletely flattened. Mr. Perkins threw into the pipe or feeder of the apparatus three or four bullets.at a time, which were stopped in the gun-barrek more than once, from want of sufficient steam pressure at the moment. But it i, obvious this may be avoided by giving any de gree of pressure requisite. Mr. Perkins has not yet, employed a greater power than about 35 atmospheres„, though the strength-of his apparatus would admit five times that power, if necessary. The apparatus is capa'Ae ' of discharging 100 ~ills per minute, or in fact, as fast as they can be put into feeders, and the gun-barrel made to turn in any direction. LANCASTER ASSIZES, MARCH 19. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. BELL V. SUTCLIFFE. .. • Mr. BROUGHAM (in consequence of the illness of Mr. SCARLETT, who did not appear in Court dining the whole day) stated the case to the July, and expressed" his unfeigned regret that the unfortunate indisposition of his Learned _Friend had imposed upon him the task of stating the.wrongs of the plaintiff, and of .calling upon them to award her some compensation for one of the greatest wrongs that a woman could receive. The 'plaintiff was the daughter of a respectable. merchant, who formerly resided at Newry,. in Ireland, in:a state of affluence and comfort, but, in the rear 1'.12, owing to the misfortunes of the times, his prospects, were blighted ; he failed air business, and camel() reside in . lanchester with his family.

Cross-examined by Mr. 13/reerams.—My sister was carrying on a tolerably successful business at Man cheStet, froth the year 1820, and earlier.' 'lt continued to improve 'progressively. My sister in Ireland had carried on the haberdashery-and silk mercery. The de-'. fendant generally came in the evenings or afternoons. He was in the habit of staying and spending the even ings. I have occasionally come home late in the even-, inge when I-returned home; I understood his intentions as early as the year 1820. I have heard him say that he was about 34 in 1820. He is a' man of middle size, about the half of '2O stone. I never saw him wheeling his goods in a hand-cart. Like most Manchester trades men, he is plain in his appearance; but a perfectly gen tlemanly man when dressed. I never-understood that he had more partners - than one.
