Journal of Military and Political Events in Spain during the last 'twelve Months. By Count Pecchio. With sonic Introductory Remarks on the Present Crisis. By Ed ward Blaguiere, Esf. Bvo. pp. 150. The title of this little volume expresses pretty fully the nature of its contents. - It possesses considerable in terest, but, alas, the anticipations in the beginning of the volume are followed at the end by terrible reverses. The author, however, is not without hopes as to the fate of his unhappy country. " I am not, (says he) fond of prophecying, and yet I have flattering presentiments on this subject. It is be ' sides &ratifying to indulge the hope, that Saanish free dons is not dead, but merely suspended. And lam even induced to rest my hopes on Ferditeind himself ; not on his clemency nor wisdom, but on his fienzied tyranny. He seems indeed to have been born fur the purpose of causing despotism to cease. It was he who provoked the conspiracy of Porlier and of L icy, as well as that of Valencia; and finally he effected the Revolution of 1820. 'Nor can much tune elapse before be brings about another Revolution in Spain. Such at least is the presumption to be drawn from the atrocious decree of October the 4th. The Holy Alliance haS nor, in fact, yet discovered that Ferdinand VII. is the greatest Revolutionist of Eur Ope." •. . Among the Books published in the last year which ax likely to flourish through the present century, and to enjoy an eminently useful popularity, we may name the splendid production called Aatnre Displayed. The study of .the manifold and wonderful works of GOD, always gratifying, is doubly increased in intetest by this popular exhibition, in which a luminous text is il lustrated throughout by many hundred engravings, inrae and small, plaha and coloured. The idea of a succinct. .display of the wonders and beauties of Nature originated with the Abbe La Pluche„ in the beginning of the last century, an .1 his work in seven volumes appeared in Paris about the year 1720, under the tide of Spectacle de la Nature. Four volumes only were, however, devoted to Nature and Art, 'and the other three were occupied -by the moral, theological, and metaphysical sciences of the day. Two rival trans lations soon appeared in London, and ran through many editions between the years 1730 and 1760, but as new iiiscaveries had been made in every branch of Science, :and the French author had origivally adopted the Car- . tesiaa PhilosOphy, and hesitated to acknowledge even the Copernican System, the work became obsolete, and nos , ranks among curious rather than useful books. The plan libwever was legitimate, but remained un exectited till the recent appearance of this great work by Dr. S. Shaw. Of course it became necessary to adopt no more than the plan of La Pluche, for the materials were superseded by discoveries and improved oh,ervatioos on every subject on which the French Abbe had treated. The form of Dialogue, as trifling and anti quated, is.also dropt, and that of Lectures preferred, as more suited to the dignity of the topics. Again, the ditor enjoyed a further advantage in the labours of Travellers, Societies, and Artists, and he has been ena bled, by aviiling• himself of them, to illustrate every subject by such a series of graphical representations as never before were assembled in a work of this nature, even on any one of its numerous subjects. A grand monument has thus been raised to the homage of the Creation, and the Omnipotence and Omniscience of the CRE.ATOLL have been brought into contact with every eye and understanding, in a moderate' compass, and at an economical price. Adroitly availing himself of his vast assemblage of curious engravings' the Editor has applied to Nature the 'principle long recognized in Geography ; and by printing them of uniforrn size, in folio, has exhibited Nature in an arranged ATLAS. For purposes of Study, and acquiring much knowledge at little trouble, this Atlas is without parallel. It not only pourtrays all varieties of subjects in their:connectiress and depend. caries, but by the aid of full descriptions of each en graving, entices the most careless' Reader through the inimenseteld of Nature's wonders. This Atlas of Na ture stands alone, like an Atlas of Maps, and may Ise purchased Without or with the text. The idea of such Atlas is felicitous, and it must effect more in promoting the knowledge of the Universe, and of its details, than all the books that ever were printed. On the whole, this work, in its entire state, in six vo lumes, or in its Atlas foam, is a great and important acquisition to our standard Literature. It will render these studies popular, and bring them - within the leach of all; and will be hailed as the Book wanted by all heads of Families, and all persons concerned in the Education of Youth. By the rising generation them selves it will be coveted, and when possesied, studied with avidity. Mvsnittotis OCCURRENCE.--The city of Bristol has been kept in a state of painful excitement during the last week, by the sudden and mysterious disappearance or Mr. l'uncE, a respectable Solicitor of that City, and i , artner in the firm of PALMER and PIERCE.

GOUHLAP fl. THg DUKE OP 801141113gT. His Lou °SHIP, on entering the Court, obsertid that he intended to have given •judgment in this case; but,; preparatory to his doing so, it was necessary to have certain plans, which had been referred to in the course of the cause, properly authenticated, in order that he might be certain that they were the identical plans on which his decision must ultimately depend. For-this purpose he must have affidavits made by the parties on each side. Mr. GOURLAY rose, and in a vehement tone remarked, that the machinery of the Court of Chancery was not adapted to the due administration of justice. -The LORD CHANCELLOR, interrupting him, said he would not discuss such a question with him, and de sired him to recollect where he was; after he had deli vered his judgment, if an application was properly made before him, with a view to have the case reheard, he - would do so; but he would not have the question discussed over and over again in the irregular manner Mr. Gourlay seemed disposed to introduce it. Mr. GOURLAY then retired. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY 12. BENNET V. ROUBELL. This was an action brought for a malicious charge of felony. The plaintiff's name has been repeatedly be fore the Public as keeper of gambling-hol,es in Pall mall and its neighbourhood. The defendant was an Attorney, suspected of having been concerned in the prosecution ; when he went into the King's Bench, he was dragged to the pump and pumped on ; the plain ' tiff was.alleged to have assisted when some called out,• " That's him ! pull him lip, pall him zip I" and to have been particularly active in keeping him in the trough while he was pumped on. the defendant proceeded to Union Hall, and charged the plaintiff upon suspicion of having robbed him of his pocket-book, containing six 101. notes.—(All the circumstances were detailed in , this Paper at the time.) Hobert Staples, Clerk to the Magistrates at Union 11411, proved the charge having been made, the warrant granted, and the charge being after wards dismissed. John Butler,. Clerk to Mr. (farmer, stated the cir cumstances which came under his observation. Thomas Got e,turnkey, gave evidence of the pumping, and of the subsequent charge made against the plaintiff, of having robbed the defendant of six 101. notes. Thomas Easton, Solicitor to the Marshal, was told by Mr. Roubell, that in the King's Bench, on the 24th of Octolier, he was forced up to the back of the Prison; he immediately missed his pocket-book, and that Bennet was the person who took it. He had known Bennet be fore. Mr. Roubell wished to have Bennet's room searched immediately. I went to the staircase, No. 8, where Bennet's room was. He was coming down stairs. 1 told him,my business, and searched his room, his boxes, his pockets, and every place I could. I told him what I searched for. Ile himself produced the keys. I found several notes, none so low as 101.; several pocket books, none red morocco. I told Mr. Roubell, and had the robbery then advertised through the Prison, with a re is and of 101. William Ilewitt,Clerk in the Prison, stated, that when the warrant was brought, - Mr.ltonbell said, "Now, Mr. Bennet, you will be locked up in the strong room." Mr. Allen, the Magistrate, stated the result to - ha been, that several persons were committed for the as sault, and Mr. Bennet was discharged, both for the as sault and the felony. The notes in his hand were taken by himself. The notes were read in evidence, with con sent of both parties. John Escudier had kept the Pulteney Hotel ; was in the King's Bench on the night of the assault; heard a scuffle and noise. Mr. Bennet was then at the grocer's shop, No. 8 staircase, with several other persons, and came to where witness was before the noise,and remained there till the noise was over. Witness and Bennet never went nearer the pump than No. 8. He was rather clumsy to walk. He went no distance from witness at all. lie could not have taken part in the pumping. Cross-examined.—Defendant was pumped on twice. I heard them cry out, " Informer, informer I" Mr. Staples WAS recalled, and read the depositions at Union Hall, upon which the charge was dismissed. John Fitzgerald was a prisoner in the Bench on the 24th of September, when the assault was committed ; .he saw Mr. Bennet when the pump was going, 20 or so yards of. Mr. Bennet appeared to have come from the tap;in an opposite quarter from the pump. ...From the beginning to the end of the pumping Mr. Bennet was not there, on witness's oath; he was ill with the gout; he was dressed in a black coat.-4 This evidence was given to meet a statement of defendant's, that he wore a blue coat.) Cross-examined.—l never heard that Roubell was coming to the prison ; I heard the cries " Pull up, pull up," but I never heard the name of Mr. Bennet mentioned. John Brown was in the King's Bench on the 24th of September, and in Mr. Fitzgerald's shop saw Mr. Ben net.; he remained near witness the whole of the time, and could not have taken any part in the transaction; he told me it was some informer, against bringing spirits into the prison. Cross-examined.—l keep no shop; Tdid sell oysters at the beginning of the season ; I had no particular ac quaintance with Mr. Bennet; lam not of the same class; I am a prisoner; I was waiter in the tap-room; I have done nothing particular since. Charles Handy, printer, sootier to defendant, brought the copy from which he printed the hand-bills, and be. lieved it to be defendant's hand-writing. I-le printed about 200, and Mr. Roubell was to pay for them. Two bills were read, setting forth an atrocious out rage and robbery by Richard Bennet and others. John Smith, clerk tu the bankers, Spooner, Attwood, and Co. proved the payment of a check for £lOO, and the numbers of the notes given to defendant. George Perry, clerk in the Bank of England, proved payment of four of the notes (fur £10), the first on the 25th of September, and the others at different subse quent periods. Mr. Shuttleworth, Collector of Taxes in Mary-la bonne, received the two notes presented (two of the notes above-described) from Mr. Roubell on the 19th of September, in payment of assessed taxes. Mr. Taylor received that note•on the 29th of Septem ber, from Mr. Ebert. Mr. Ebert paid £lOO worth of notes to -the former witness: he received them from Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones paid that note ; the name of Roubell was indorsed, not witness's writiyig ; it was on it when wit ness received it. Mr. SCA itLETT then submitted that the plaintiff must be nonsuited. The Loan CHIE7.JUSTICe was of opinion that there must be malice proved, and none was proved. 7 *7 MI" , " 4 • - • - • • ~, NAVAL. INtELLIGANdit , the Louisa,.

The smell of gain is sweet out of anything said a Rol man Emperor almost twenty centuries ago, and so say our lower moderns. The late murder in liertfor& shire has been a fertile 'source to more than one class•of persons. We formerly noticed that a drama had been founded on it, entitled the Gauthier:, and pia) ed one tight at the Surrey Theatre, when it was withdrawn, in consequence of an injunction in the Court of King's Bench. Last night it was revived, and as few people, happily, witness a murder, such as have the good taste to like" all that sort trf thing," may see a re= presentation of one at this house—a taste we certainly do not envy, nor do we think the morals of the people will be much benefited by an exhibition so revolting to liuma , nity. The House was crowded, and we doubt not will long continue so. The same feeling which drew twenty or chitty thousand persons to see That-tell execu:ed at liertford,.will fill the Staley to Sf= the crime for which he suff...red so accurately repreerittl - J. COBUIf.GTHEATItIt. If we censure the Drama at the Surrey, in what terms shall we speak of one founded on the same subject at this house, where the allusions to the unfortunate vela• tives of the Murderer Thuttell are as disgusting as they are cruel? Is not the family already sufficiently wr et ched b but they must be dragged forth on the Stage, and their situation aggravated By increased puliolicity Yet such is the case with the Coburg drama. • FATAL AFFRAY IN TUE COUNTY OP WEXFORD. PROM THE KILKENNY MODERATOR. The circumstances of the fatal occurrence at Tagh-. mon, in the County of Wexford, on the night of Friday last (2d instant), having been variously stated, the fob lowing authentic particuhirs, derived from the polite com munication of a Gentleman who as,isted in the otikial investigation of the case, cannot but be highly acceptable: It appears that between the hours of 11 au.l 12 o'cleck on the night ill question, which was tl.e fair-night of Taghmon, serjeant Thomas Moyles, of the l'olice,.“4 stationed at that place, had entered a publie•house for the purpose of clearing it of a drinking; party, and in the . performance of that duty was struck by one of the company; on which the serjeant went out, returned with two others of the Police, took the assailant into cus tody, and conducted him to the Thel'olice returned to the public-house, :toll on entering locked the door.—A mob had collected outside and attacked the house, demanding the liberation of the prisoner; when the serjeant (Moyles), after repeatedly calling on the rioters to disperse, and the windows of the house having heed entirely demolished, thought it neces s a r y re th e per sonal safety of his party to fire on the crowd. The shot took effect—a young man of the name of Brennan was mortally wounded, and . after runni:z a short dis tance fell dead ! Two more shots were fired by. the serjeant, h4ppily without effect, and the crowd WU mately dispersed. Moyles was taken into custody by C. Waddy, Esq. the next resident Magistrate, we be• lieve; and on the ensuing day, an inquest was held on the body of the decea-ed, - before three Nlagistrates, in the absence of the Coroner, who lived too remote horn the spot to attend on the instant, and a most respect able Jury. Several witnesses were examined, and, after a minute inquiry into this deplorable tran Action,' - the Jury found —4. That the deceased, James lilt -man, of Kilgarvan, came by his death by a gun shot. wound, inflicted by serjeant Thomas Moyles, of the Police establishment." • The fatal ball entered by the right collar- bone, pene trated the lungs; and lodged in the heart. Nloyles has beers committed to prison. -As endeavours may be made - -to attach a party feel. in; to this melancholy occurrence, we decal it right to aud, that Mlles, the Police , COmtable, is a Catholic.

This case came on to be argued before the Recoil- DER this day, in the shape of an appeal from the deci sion of the Magistrates atthe Exchange. Mr. BoNu, for . the respondent, addressed the Court at some length, to shew that his client was entitled to Easter Offerings, as due to him of common right as Vicar of the parish of St. Nicholas, in this town. Mr. F. l;ANK.tur, for the, appellant, insisted (the right of custom having been relinquished by Mr. Bond) that his client was not liable, because he belonged t that class of persons (labourers), who were exempted from the payment of such offer ings, and called witnesses to prove the fact. 'lt ap pealing, however, that though Lilly generally worked at his trade (shoemaking) as a journeyman, that he did sometimes make shoes to order, the Recorder heid that he did not come within the meaning of the Act, and was, therefort, liable to the Vicar's dem 4thl of sixpence: that is twopence per head for-every individual above the age of_ sixteen. The RttvonciEn said the case had been well argued on both sides, and lamented that ob servations had been used by Mr. Bond, and replied to by Mr. Bankars, which had nothing to do with the question. The appellant had a right to appeal, as he had done, and even to call upon others to assist him, if he thought proper. -Although this case haS been de cided against Lilly, it clearly appears, that all persons of the class of labourers, that is, all who do not manu facture and sell their own-goods, are exempt from the payment of Easter Offerings. THURTELL'S REIIAINS. • The mortal remains of Thurtell were removed on Friday'night last, to St. i Bartholomew's Hospital, and placed in a room - adjoining the Theatre of Anatomy. The crowd of persons on Saturday, who attended to view •the body, was. very great, and as the place in which it was deposited was so small that not more than eight or ten persons could be admitted at a time, there were continually numbers in, arrear before the dour of the Theatre. The body of Thurtell was remarkable for its muscu- 1 larity and symmetry, and for the clearness of the skin. It was evident that he had been in a state of the most vigorous health ; and from the appearance of the limbs, it was difficult to imagine that they even yet wanted some poition of the strength and elasticity which seems to have once characterised them. His features were changed, though not, in the common sense of the word, distorted. The prineipalthange was effected by the re laxation of the muscles of the cheeks, which in life were so powerful and massy. The eyes were .half open, and of a- fine blue, not mope prominent than they are in many living faces. In Thurtell, when alive, they had appeared rather small, and their colour not remarkable. The hair having been removed, the head appeared. ex ceedingly well formed, and the want of expansion of the forehead was less remarkable than in life.—The corpse is five feet ten inches and a half in length. Among those who were mostearly.and most arixions in their attendance on Saturday were a class of people called Phrenologists, who.werc ail a-gog to find a very common prominence behind and above the ear, which they are pleased to call" the organ of destructiveness," or murder. Most unfortunately for the cultivators of this science, it happens that' the said bump or prominence is not to be found in the head of what was Thurtell; in other words, that the organ of destructiveness was not at all prominent or developed. This was " water in the shoes" of .the phrenologists ; but what was still worse was, that" the organs of benevolence"and of "caution" were very strongly masked. They, however, consoled themselves with saying that the organ of courage was very large,_ and that the intellectual organs seemed scarcely developed. However, hese Gentlemen, nothing daunted, argue that the character of Thurtell just corre.p.mded to the appearances on the skull. Suchis the advantage which this science possesses, that if the skull, according to their theory, suits the previously known character Of . the possessor, it is well ; if not, they snake another character to suit. The LORD CHAMBERLAIN; it is said, has issued his veto against the performance of French Plays in any public building of the metropolis. It is reported also that his Lordship hats issued new regulations respecting the Minor Theatres, in consequence of the application of the proprietors of the two Patent Theatres. TIIe LATE CHARLES DtßEHH.—Siturday evening a Meeting was held at the Freemasons Tavern, to make arrangements for the public dinner and festival, which was numerously attended by subscribers and friends. At eight o'clock Dr. KITCIIINER was unanimously called to the Chair; and, after a number of letters were read from several distinguished characters, regretting their absence on the occasion, the business was pro ceeded with. The public dinner was eventually fixed for Friday, March 5, and Admiral Sir JOSEPH YoRKE is to be requested to preside on the occasion.
