FROM THE AIRTIOrOLIIAN LITERARY JOURNAL, NO. I. At. estimate of Literature and of the progress of Scien -e and the Arts, if made by a contemporary at any give❑ age in the history of the world, and in any country having pretensions to civilization and to know ledge, will most probably be one in which the disco veries made,•and the talents and acquirements abound hig in that age will be considerably overrated. For although it does sometimes happen that the importance of a discovery, or the excellence of a literary work, is not acknowledged for many years after its promulga tion, vet, such is the effect of novelty upon the human mind, this is not eie common course of events. We are more prone, ceteris paribus, to value what we see and hear, than what we only read of. In reviewing the, present state of Literature, Science, and the Arts, it is of 'con-iderable importance to be aware of thisitruth. But with every deduction on the head of novelty ; with eve: v allowance for the impression which events and persons passing under our immediate cognisance make upon us, e e think it must still be admitted, that to wards the conclusion of the last, and during the present century,.an impulse of no ordinary kind has been given to the intellectual energies of man; and that many of the Arts and Sciences have made a considerable, a rapid progression. This impulse and progression have been evinced in stations ways; in the amazingly increased demand for hooks, book-societies, circulating libraries, and reading-rooms; in the extended application of steam as a moving power.; in die use of machinery; and in the superior and more efficient methods of edu cation. But in none, perhaps, in A more emphatic and striking manner than in the improvement and popula rity, the organization and direction of Literary Acade mies, now more usually denominated leserruTioes. " The academies of the preceding centuries were al most all literally close corporations, over which a select few presided with a freezing precision which no sun could thaw, and the doors of which no plebeian hands could open. They were truly the temples of the aris tocracy of letters, confined to a few, and by a few only relished or enjoyed. " It was reserved for the conclusion of the eighteenth century to break the spell in which our literature was hound to give a new impetus to Science and the Arts, and to introduce a thousand facilities for the acquisition of knowledge, heretofore as unheard of as unexpected. " France led the van by the establishment of the NATIONAL INSTITUTE. England soon caught the ex ample, and animated by the presiding spirit of a Roscoe, at Liverpool, the first improvement upon aca demies in this country was made. The establishment of the Royal Institution of London shortly followed ; to this succeeded the London Institution, the Surrey Institution, and the Russell Inatitation, all of which have, more or less, during the last twenty years, con tributed to shed a lustre over the metropolis of the United Kingdoms. With the London Institution is as sociated, among other illustrious names, that of Poe- SON ; with the Surrey Institution, Dr. ADASI CLARKE; with the Russell Institution, Routeex ; and with the Royal Institution, DAVY. " The success of these Institutions has, however, been yea y various ; that they have all contributed to the dif fusion of a large mass of literary and scientific infor mation admits of no question ; and, after a suitable al lowance for the heedless enthusiasm, and, in some in stances, improvidence, with which they were originally established, they foirn unquestionably a remarkable epoch in literary history. ." The London Institution may now be considered as completely established ; and perhaps a mote splendid li terary endowment is hardly to he found. The Rusiellln stitution is also iespectaLly supported, and may be also considered as one of the I:ermanent 14cl:try ornaments of the metropolis. Tile Royal Institution has I stely undergone, we b..iieve, complete revision and re-organi zation, and is row, %1 c hope, in a fair way of doing well. The biilliant d. , scoveries of DAVY at this Insti tution will be ever, in the annals of science, objects of the greatest importance. The chemical and philoso phical apparatus of this great school are of a very su perior order indeed. " The number of shares in the Royal Institution is between four and five hundred; in the London Insti tution, one thousand ; in the Russell Institution, seven hundred ; and in the Surrey Institution, they were also seven hundred. But this last Institution, having ex haustel its funds, war, after great and ineffectual efforts to continne it, shut up in March, 1823. These Institu tions thus furnishing by transferable tickets, and other means, literary and scientific information and amuse ment to several thousand persons " Some of the most striking features in these Lite rary Institutions are the LECTURES. Here science is brought, as it were, to our vet y doors, and made popu larly acceptable. Lecture, will rarely, it is true, make adepts in any art or science, but they excite that curiosity and desire for further information, which would other wise for ever remain dormant : many persons are often ready to hear and to see, who will not take the trouble to read. Beside this, they enable the rising generation, and the Ladies, to take a pleasure and interest in lite rary and scientific pursuits, which otherwise they would never do " The Lecture-rooms in many of these Institutions arc on a grand scale. One at the Royal Institution will contain nine hundred persOns; another in the same Institution, attached to the elaboratory for philosophi cal students, will accommodate about two hundred. The elegant amphitheatre of the London Institution will contain six hundred persons ; the lecture-room at the Russell Institution, four hundred; and the theatre at the late Surrey Institution would hold convernien►ly five hundred or more persons. Access to all these In stitutions has been, in general, so easy by transferable tickets and other means, that this easiness of access daily, from eight o'clock in the morning till ten or eleven at night, and another important consideration, their cheapness, are of momentous import to tho s e, t h e most numerous classes of who desire at once to economise both time and money. In a word, Literary Institutions are, unquestionably, the cheapest and the best of all the known methods of diffusing knowledge." The foregoing is followed by an account of two more litstitutions which have recently sprung up with a vigour and activity that augur well for their utility and f errlearlenCe," u..naely tilt MErriovoLtrAN INsTII - • .Itig g \ 4 9 •A -- G-G..-5 I ,• 6 ,s; - - • sc ON LITERARY INSTITUTIONS.

When resting on my conch, with joy, Food gazing on my beauteous boy, What thoughts arise, and sleep destroy, All full of him ! And first I see, with infant grace, 116 soft hand stroke his mother's face, And aniious look, as if to trace If smile were there! Thtn nett he'll use his little feet, And fearful go half way to meet Ills floating father, who'll him cheat Quite cross the room! And then will come the gift of speech, And early will his father teach Him quick to act, and slow to preach, As wise men should! Then schooling Time will trikkly come, When he must leave his happy home Seek public school, search Latin tome, And classic lore! LAIV REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY S. TILE KING D. RICHARD STAFFORD COOKE. Mr. CAMPBELL applied to the Court for leave to amend the plea of abatement filed in this case, in which the defendant had alleged, that being a Peer of the realm, he was not liable to be called on to answer in an inferior Court, but was entitled to be tried by his Peers. The Learned Counsel stated, that the ple.l did not refer to the Act of Parliament under which the de fendant derived his title, nor did it deduce his pedigree, and the object of the motion was to have them inserted, so that the defendant's title could be discussed. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—h there not a Court in which that question could be more properly discussed? Mr. CAMPBELL—But my Lord, the defendant may be improperly tried while the question is pending. The Collar refused the rule, on the ground that there was no precedent for such a proceeding, and con sidering the object of the motion was mere delay. BYRNE V. PARKINS. Mr. PARKINS appeared to make his motion in this case; but two of the Judges having left the Court, and the day being far advanced, he was desired to attend on Wednesday, before which time he would not pro bably be able to obtain an audience, there being a great many actions pending for new trials in other cases. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 6. GROOME AND OTHERS V. SIR THOMAS CMAMPNEYS, BART. Serjeant Pam. moved on behalf of the defendant, who he said was under very peculiar circumstances of embarrassment, to have the rule directing the defendant to pay upwards of 12,0001. to the plaintiffs enlarged. He was aware that the Court having once already granted this indulgence to the defendant, they would not be inclined to do so a second time, unless some very strong affidavits were produced by him to shew that the defendant had done all in his power to comply with the order, and that the extension of the rule would not be inconsistent with justice to the plaintiffs. These affidavits he had, one of which was made by a very respectable professional Gentleman, Mr. Tyndale, 'of Lincoln's lnu•fields, who had been kind enough to lend his able assistance to the defendant; but, although that Gentleman had declined acting further in the busi ness, he had in the handsomest manner come forward and made an affidavit of the circumstances attending it, by which it appeared thatapplication had been made to several Gentlemen, to advance the defendant the sum necessary to pay the plaintiffs, agreeably to the rule of Court; and that one of them had agreed to lend the money, but in consequence of an opinion of Counsel taken on the title, he had since declined making the : - .(ivance. The Learned Serjeant said, that the ground upon which the present motion was made, was that the order of Court had directed the deeds forming the security to the plaintiffs, to be cancelled on payment of the money ; but that it was necessary to have an assignment of a term of SOO years created by one of them, which gave a piker right that no other incumbrances could affect. Serjeant Otmow appeared for the plaintiffs, and said that Sir Thomas Champneys had experienced every indulgence possible. After some consultation, the Court granted a further period of a fortnight for payment of the money, which was to be peremptory, and directed that the plaintiffs should give every facility to the defendant, for the pur pose of enabling him to effect a loan of the sum ordered by the Court. CONSISTORY COURT, MAY s. BARNARD V. BARNARD. Doctor LUSHISIGTON prayed the Court, that the cita tion might issue in this cause; it was a suit promoted by the husband for a divorce, by reason of adultery. The parties are resident in Van Diemen's Land since the year 1822, and proceedings were pending in the Court of that colony, against the person who had committed adultery wide the wife. The Learned Doctor cited a case in which he was concerned in 1820, where a sur. geon in the Navy had been convicted of murder, and his sentence commuted to tranportation, and while abroad he married the daughter of a settler, who hav ing committed adultery there, the husband obtained a divorce by the sentence of this Court. Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON considered the case cited a sufficient precedent, and decreed citation. BALL V. BALL. This was a suit promoted by Sarah Ball against her husband, George Ball, for a separation, by reason of adultery committed by him with Ann Penny, his niece. The principal witness in proof of the adultery was a servant, named Mary Bristow, who deposed that she had seen the parties through the key-hole. On this evidence the case stood over for hearing on the 16th of February last; since then, Mary Bristow made an affi davit, on the Bth of May instant, stating that the depo sitions she had made in the cause were false; that she had not seen any act of adultery committed by the said George Ball and Ann Penny, but that she had been in duced to make her former depositions by the solicitations and procurement of the said Sarah Ball. Dr. JENNER and Dr. LuSHINOToN, on the part of the promoter of the suit, contended, that the affidavit of Mary Bristow, contradicting her depositions in the cause, should not be received, as there vi as great pro bability that she had been tampered with on the part of 'auaband. . Dr. BURNABY and Dr. PHIEEDIORE contended, that the affidavit should be received, as there Here many precedents for receiving affidavits of witnerses contra . Jicting their depositions in the cause. Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINWN said this was an extra. ordinary proceeding on the part of the servant ; but it' was not impossible that she might have acted from con trition, and a Court would act under a very heavy re sponsibility by wholly excluding such evidence ; but it could not be received on the mere authority of the affidavit she had made, which did not state the facts and circumstances with sufficient speciti:ation to admit of the strict cross•e:amination and investigation which was neces..ar y before the Court could attach any weight to the affidavit. All the facts of solicitation and in ducement, mentioned in general terms in the affidavit, must be specified as to time and place, and all 0:11..4 circumstances; after which the Cow t would receive the allegation, and allow it whatever weight it might appear entitled to on a view of all the evidence of the case. LONDON HIBERNIAN SOCIETY. _ Saturday the Eighteenth Annual Meeting of this Society was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen•street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. In the absence of his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER, the Marquis of LA NSDOWN took the Chair, on which the Secretary read the Report, which stated, that during the last year, 2,005 Bibles, 12,297 English, and 2,000 Irish Testaments had been circu lated amongst the Irish peasantry, in various parts of Ireland, and since the commencement of the Institu tion, 108,902 copies have been circulated in 1,072 schools, including Sunday,which have been established in Ulster, Leinster, Connaught, Munster, &e. and ri less than 88,699 schools are instructed by the Agents, who arc not suffered to attempt proselytism. Lord ROCKSAVAGE moved that the Report be pi inted and circulated, which was seconded by the Honourable Mr. STANLEY, M. P. in a neat speech. The Honourable Mr. SHORE and other Gentlemen delivered speeches in sup : ort of the Society ; alter which the Rev. Mi. INNING addressed the Assembly in an energetic speech. The Marquis of LANSDOWN addressed the Meeting in an eloquent speech, after which they entered into a subscription, and separated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Mrs. Cowell, an elderly Lady. residing at No. 20, North-place, Queen's Elms, stated, that a Gentleman, who lodged in her house went away, leaving several debts to tradesmen in the neighbour hood unpaid, one of which was due to a publican, who had created such a riot about her house to induce her to pay the claim, that she was compelled to have him taken before a Magistrate, where he was held to bail to keep the peace. Some time after be threw a summons from the Court of Requests down her area, which she paid no attention to, the debt being another's. Her only daughter lay dangerously ill in bed ; and two days ago, during her absence to fetch a Physician, four officers from the Court of Requests rushed into her house and carried off her daughter in a chaise-cart to White cross-street Prison. She produced the warrant, by which it ap peared her daughter was taken at the suit of the publican, in the name of Mary Cowell, her real name being Sydney Cowell. The Magistrate Said he could render no assistance ; it was a sub ject of a civil action. The poor woman said her child was in a dying state. The Magistrate directed an Officer to go with Mrs. Cowell to the prison, and make minute inquiry into the case. J. Engram was charged with a burglary and robbery in the house of the Bev. NV. Pym, at Baldock, Herts, and referred for examina tion to the Magistrates of that county. GUILDHALL. Saturday, William Campion, one of Cathie's shopmen, was brought up on a warrant granted on the application of the Solicitor of the Treasury, for vending a copy of Paine's Age of Reason and Palmer's Principles of Nature, on Wednesday last. He was committed, in de fault of bail, to take his trial at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions. HATTON-C ARDEN. Saturday, Mr. W. Vigo, a commercial broker, of Clement's-lane, was brought to this office, on the charge of having purloined some leaves out of a book of accounts, deposited by order of the Court of Chancery in the Six Clerks' Office. The prisoner having obtained acceu to the book in question in the most confidential manner, in order to ratify his mind as to some family matters, he took advan tage of his friend's kindness and committed the act complained of. The case not being pressed, the prisoner w.is discharged, after an admonition from the Magistrate. Letters have been received from Mexico, dated on the 13th of March. They announce the nomination of Senor Jose de Mariano Michelena, one of the three members of the Executive, and formerly President, as Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain. His appoint ment is to be on a very splendid scale. He brings with him two secretaries, and is to receive 80,000 dol lars annually. The accounts from the Mexican coast are dated the 20th, but contain nothing important, ex cept the assurance that the whole of the interior is per fectly tranquil. Two men, named J. Spenser and S. Johnson, were on Friday and Saturday last examined before JAMES SCRIVEN and JAMES WOOLLEY, Esqrs. Surrey Magis trates, charged upon suspicion with having murdered Mary Wilkins, the wife of Henry Wilkins, of Mag dalen -street, Bermondsey, a carman, in the employ of Mr. Myers, fellmonger, of Bermondsey. The deceased had been found in the Surrey Canal, on the preceding Saturday, with marks of violence upon her person. It was at first supposed that she had fallen accidentally into the Canal, but the rumours about the neighbour. hood, which is now in a state of agitation, having reached the abovenamed Magistrates, an investigation was commenced at the Camberwell workhouse, the re sult of which was that the Magistrates ordered the pri soners to be brought to Union Hall on Wednesday, to answer the charge before the Police Magistrates. The summary of the case is, that the deceased as well as the prisoners were of low habits : the deceased, thought a married woman, accepted of improper overtures from die prisoners, drank with them, and walked with them; that her husband, who was very much distressed on the 'occasion, had seen her in company with one of the pri soners, and had seen nothing more of her till he Lehad her a lifeless corpse. The prisoners declared they left her at the top of Dover -street, and did not know of her death till they heard of her body having been taken out of the Surrey Canal. A common labourer, apparently a bricklayer, named Daniel Per ren, was charged before the Brighton Bench of Magistrates, on Monday last, 3d instant, by Mr. George Cheesenian, a builder, residing in that town, with having sent him a written challenge to tight with pistols, whereupon he (the complainant) prayed sureties of the peace against the said Daniel Perren. Mr. Cheeseman being asked whether he knew the hand-writing of the defendant, or could prove that the letter was written by him? Perren, without hesita tion, said--." Oh, I wrote it myself." " Very well, then," replied the Magistrate, "since you admit the charge, you must find sure ties to keep the peace." " Wh a t for ?" aske d the defendant, " I have committed no breach of the peace :" nor cisuld lie, after all, be made to understand that the sending such a letter was in itself a breach of the peace. Ile declared he would nut seek for bail, and persisting in this determination, was finally put back in custody. We subjoin a copy of the letter, which was read in the course of the examination, and which excited no little laughter in the Court, and from the smile on the face of the deli:nil:int, he appeared to think it as good a jest as slid all of tivise around hint: " Sunday, May 2d, 1324.
