TABLE TALK. MUM VIZ NLITUDIFOIPTWLY 31A0AZIWZ. Shakspeare talks of evil deeds, which "return to plague the inventor." It k the same with stories. Lord Robert Ranter, on the day se'nnight which succeeded his earrattve, actually had his own story told to him at table by a dull man from Datadee, who would not he • stopped, do whit his Lordship would. 4 6 Did tour Lordship ever hear a remarkably good story about . avid:4o.w" Yes, Sir, I have beard them all."-44 It happerred at Peter Moores: jots must know poor Tom Sheridan was far from well, and—"......"

Madre'—.' More brocoli and no butter." To such casualties will t'.e most undaunted narrator be subject, who tel!s his stories when people are hungry. After all, the. pleasantest people at tsb!e are those who never tell stories at all. The merest trifle that springs from the occasion is worth a hundred of the best jokes or narratives that ever were transplanted. It is the same upon the stage. The moment when Mr. A. says to Mr. B. 44 Pray be seated ;" and sprawling out his legs, commences with el It is now fifteen years since I first became acquainted with your father, then on foreign service. At the commencement of our friend ship an incident occurred—" From that epoch I date a buzz of inattention fronfpit, bor, and galleries. Not that I mean to banish story-telling from all places. There are several dull streets where they may be re• sorted to with propriety. Old Burlington-street and Stratford•place are very good story-telling streets, especially when the Opera house is not open. When that seat of song is accessible, people are plaguily apt to ring for their carriages, and leave you in the middle of your catastrophe. A friend of mine, in fact, ont of the Opera season, was cut short in the midst of a lamentable fire of his, that happened at Birmingham, by seven men jumping up from table to go and hear u Cherry ripe at the Little Theatre in the Haymarket. Ever since he has loDked at the play-bill beforehand. The dinner-hour in L'ndon is now so late, and there are so many music lions and lionesses prowling about up stairs in the two drawing-rooms, seeking what of Mo zart or Rossini they may devour, that it requires the agility of Mazuti.r himself to whip in 'an anecdote at tabl:•. TIIE KING AND SHERIDAN. Tile Westminster Review, just published, contains the following statement respecting the King's munificent kindness to his old associate:— "The leng h to which this article has run, compels us to pass over intermediate events, to the last grand epoch in the life of Sheridan—his conduct in the re gociation with Lords Grey and Grenville, in 1811. That Sheridan played false to his political friends on V is occasion, certainly appears from the evidence before us; how far, in so doing, he may have been true to the Prince, or rather, the instrument of his pleasure, we cannot so teadily judge. The Whigs thought that they could have the Government of the Country on their own (el ms, a:td Slteridan took care that the dictatorial spirit which they discover d should not escape the Royal eye. Ile had no hopes at this period, we co.lceive. of rising with the Whigs, and, therefuse, recommended himself to the Regeat by his zeal in his cause, by his jealoas.care for the Royal digraity ; and, at the same time, in so dling, effected the rzcluslon of his party from power. The worst feature in this in trigue was, Stielidan's suppression of an important communication, with which he was charged, to the Lords Grey and Grenville. " The Whigs, who desired complete possession cf royalty, stiFulated that the Prince's Household, formed under a former Administration, should go out; this point was ceded by the Court; but the concession, no tified to Sheridan, did not teach the ears of those whose objection to office would have been removed by tke knowledge of it. We cannot give the anecdote more shortly than in Mr. Moore's words 46 6 Load Yarmouth, it is well known, stated in the House of Commons, that he had communicated to Mr. Sheridan the intention of the Household to resign, with the view of having that intention conveyed to Lord they and Lord Glenville, and thus removing the sole ground upon which these .N.,ble Lords obj cted to the' acceptance of office. 'Not only, .however, did Sher;dan endeavour to dissuade the Noble Vice-Chamberlain from resigning, but, with an unfairaess of dealing which admits, I own, of no vindication, he withheld lion► the two leaiers of O t patition the intelligence 'bus meant to be conveyed to them; and, wbain question d by Mr. Tierney, as to the rumowed intentions of the Household to teNign, offered to bet five hundred guineas that thete was nu such stet; in cuatemplation::— pp. 674, 67.5. • •' From the. period of this intrigue, to the 11 , mr of his death (the Miserable circumstances of which we shall pass over as sufficiently weal known) nothing went well with Sheridan. His pecuniary difficulties increased as his resou•ces failed him, and the dissolution of 1812 deprived him at once of his political consequence, and' his Parliamentary protection. He made an attempt, indeed, to obtain a seat in the House. and stood tor Stafford, and the failure elere served materially to hasten his ruin. After mentioning this circumstance, Mr. Moore states, under the date of 1813, that • the Prince Regent offered to bring him (Sheridan) into Par liament,-but that the thought of returning to that scene of his triumphs and his freedom, with the Royal owner's mark, as it were, upon him, was more than he could bear—and he declined the offer.'—p. 682. " We ale willing to.ascribe this representation to Mr. .Mitore's want of information, and to hold him guilty, not of supprebing an important fact, but of the minor offence of failing to search out the truth. The truth then is, that the Prince Regent did not merely oar to bring Sheridan into Parliament, but, about the latter end of 3812, with a view to this object, his Royal Highness conveyed to him, through Lord Moira, four thousand pounds. The Money was 4f,pmited by hisLprd sbip with \fr. Cocker, the Solicitor, who acted as a friend toMr, Sheridan an t h is occasion , a nd astre.ity was opened with Mr.lsttersol for a, seat for Wootton Bassett. The negoeiation, indeed, was all but concluded, nothing toeing warm* leat eiterichuis piesence on • the spot.' —On three successive evenings, Mr. Cocker dined with Sheridan at an hotel in Albemarle-street, a chaise be;ng on each night waiting at the door to convey them down to Wootton Bassett; on each night Sheiidan, after his wine, postponed the journey to the next day, and on the fourth day, he altogether abandoned the rroject of purchasing a seat in Parliament, receive,l the frur thousand pounds, and applied them, as. he was warranted to do, by the permission of the donor, to his pi ivate uses. This transaction certainly delivers the King from the reproach of never having ministered to the relict of She►id.rn—a charge which has, been urged against his Majesty in numberless smart satires and lampoons." WINTER HOME CIRCUIT. The Surrey Assizes commenced at Kingston-upon- Thames on Monday, before Mr. Baron HULLOCK and Mr. Justice LITTL &DA LE. James Griffith was indicted for an assault upon Eli zabeth BAnnermann, on the 20th of N member, at Battersea, with a certsin invent. The prisoner had been indicted capitally, hut the Grand Jury threw omit the bill. The prosecutriz, a girl of 13 years of age, lived wi:h her uncle, Mr. Donaldson, of Phenix Wharf, Nine Elms. The prisoner was a carman on the same wharf. On Sunday, the 20th of November, in the afternoon, the prosecutrix having the care of two children, missed one of them, and went to look for it in the stable, where the prisoner was cleaning his horses. He immediately seized her, and fastening the door, committed the alleged offence. From the girl's evidence, it appeared to be a clear case of •iolation to the fullest extent ; whereupon the Learned Judge directed an acquittal, the misde meanour merging in the capital offence.— Not Guilty. James Target and George Withers were indicted for stealing at St. George's, Southwark, on the 13th of August !aft, a mare, the property of :tfary Burridge. It appeared in evidence, that in the night of the 13th of August, the mare in question was stolen from a field of the prosecntrix, who resides at Westbury, in \Vilt• shire. On the 13:h of August the prisoner Target brought the mare and a pony to the Obelisk livery stables, St. George's-fields, fill sale, and left them then•. Shortly afterwards he returned with the other prisoner, a youth of 19, and took the mare away, and on the 16th of August he sold her for 61. to a pork•brrtclrer, in Aylesbury-street, Cerkensvell. O.i the next day the pri.oners were apprehendeJ. The prisoner Target, who lived in the prosecutries neighbourhood, now confessed the fact of the robbery, and endeavoured to implicate his eompanion ;but there being no evidence against the latter, he was acquitted, but the former was found Guilty—Dsoth. William Brett was indicted for stealing at Camberwell, on the lfith of September, a mare, the property of Henry Munday. Three a itnesses proved that they saw the prisoner go into the prosecutor's field, at noon-day, on the 18th of September, catch the mare, and with a halter ride of with ir. The mare had never been heard of again.— Shortly afterwards the prisoner Was taken up for steal ing a donkey, and he was identified for this offence. The prisoner now set up an alibi, and called three or: four of his relations to prove that on the day in question , he was confined at home with illness. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. John Wiltshire, a youth of 18, was indicted for nt saulting E:tzabeth Davis, an infant of ten years old,On the 3d of July, with a cettain intent. The prisoner was tried fora capital offence at the last Summer Assizes, becole Mr. Baron Graham, aad 4cquitteJ, but ordered to be detained for a misdenieanonl. The fither of the pro-ecutriX was a shoemaker, in the B )rough, and the prix , ner was his apprentice. On Sunday, the 3d of July, the prosecutrix and a younger child were left by their parents in cafe of the prisoner, whilst they went out to pay a visit. In the interval, the prisoner conducted himself towards the child Elizabeth in the manner alleged by the indictment. go the return of Mr. and Mrs. Davis, they found the prisoner reading h s Bible, and no suspicion arose as to his conduct.— Soon after the child became extremely ill, and in a manner which excited inquiry, vi'llen the misconduct of the prisoner was disclosed.—T:re prisoner denied the charge. The Jury found him Guilty, and be was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, and hard lab.iur. MR. IC ENRICK AND MA. CMWFORD. The Grand Jury returned a bill of indictment against Mr. Crawford, a Magistrate of this county, for an al leged assault upon Mr. Kenrick, the Welch Judge, in the execution of his duty as a Justice of the Peace.— The transaction which gave rise to th's proceeding took place, we understand, when both Gentlemen were sitting as Justices of the Peace At Dorking, at a Petty Sessions A few evenings since a box was cut from the carriage ' of Sir JAMES COLLETON. on his way to town. The long story told by a girl named Kirk, at Union-1 hall;Olice, respecting the concealineat of the body of a child at BuCkingham, turns out to be a fabrication. By a receat Act of the Le4ialatiire, whi.ky will be allowed to be imported and sold in London. Tile Statute will come into operatton at the beginning of next year. . In Portugal, it is said a general amnesty ha., been resolved upon, and signed by King Jotter VI. by which means all persons esil-:cf, or who have emiqrateil, on account of their political opinions, will have an oppor tunity of returning to their hones. &MEL EQUIPAGE.—An eccentric farmer, in the neighbourhood of St. Alban's, on the last market.day, entered the town in a car, drawn by four hogs, at a brisk trot, and drove to the Woolpack yard. A Gentleman offered 501. for the concern as it stood, which to reused. Tile herring-fishers at Queensferry had an exce:lent take on Wedneiday. Thursday, th'ree carts, with about 17,000. herrings, arrived at Glasgow, and sold at ss. 6d. a hundred. They we:e retai:ed at three farthings each. A short time ago, a gipsy called at the shop of a druggist, at Brecon, for medicine, and insinuated to the master that she could, by her art, inform him of the name of his future wife. He was directed to proviJe .some large bank notes, to fold them in a piece of paper, and lay them under his pillow, the following night, and she would call on him the next morning to unfold the, paper and unravel the mystery. Instead of banknotes,' he wisely placed two of the engraved headings of his bills of parcel!, made to resemble notes, in the piece of . paper. When the gipsy called the nest morning, the sup posed parcel of bank notes was produced to the sybil,who ,opened it and immediately delivered it back to the, owner; having ftrst degerously exch,n . ged all the heads. for some pieces of 'brown paper. She triumphantly .decamped, full-of the expectation of a good booty t but great must have been her disappointment on finding it of a• ram 4. THE EARL OF ELDON. At a General Meeting of the County of Ros 4, held upon the ISth day of 'October, 1824, it was unanimou ly resolved, "That the thanks of this county .be repect-. fully tendered to the Right honourable Joust, Earl of ELDON, Lord High Chancellor of 'Great B itain, for the eminent service he has rem.'ered Scivlaiid, by ap lying his great talents, and extensive legal knowle.fge, to the improvement of the forms tinder which the Law is ad ministered in our Courts of Justice: a s"rvice forming a worthy sequel of that unbounded labour and painful anxiety, bestowed by him ( n decision of cases in the Supreme Appellate Jarisdiction. which base justly endelred his name to the people of Scotland." . To this highly c.implimentary Resolution, his Lord, ship was pleased, in a leiter to Sir .(,,tares WEmyss MAL:KENZIE, Batt. Member cf Parliament for the county, to make the following answer, s hick will be read with in•eiest, now that the important judicial im rovegt.ents alluded of which his Lotd,liip w a s the active promoter, are come into active orrati•in: " MuNn.sy, nivinnitit 1,1824. " Sin—Upon my return to town on Saturday last, I received the favour of your letter, enclosing the Resolution of the Free holders, Commissioners of Supply, and Justices of the Peace of the County of Ross. " It cannot but be very gratifying to me to learn that in their opinion, I have usefully assisted in the improvement of the Forms of Proceedings in the Courts of Justice in Scotland. " Throughout the whole of the period in which I have hsd the honour to preside in the House of Lords, I have. acted under a very painful apprehension that in the decision of matters depend ing upon an accurate knowledge of the Law of Scotland, (and which ought tdi he decided in strict conformity to that Law) I might frequently fall into errors, prejudicial to the people of that country. Tu protect myself and them against the mischief conse quential upon such errors, I have deemed it to be my indispensable duty to bestow upon the decision of Scotch case-s all the labour and pains I could exert : and it Is a great gratification to me to learn, that the county of Ross is pleased to record that I have anxiously endeavoured to discharge that great bu: obvious duty. " I have the honour to be, with much respect, " Sir, ytiur obliged Servant, ELDON." MENDICITY IN THE NETHERLANDS. According to a Report presented to the Government in 1814, there were then nearly 700,000 paupers living scattered about, which, in a population of 5,500,000, is more than 12-100ths, or 1 in 8. At the end of 1823, there were, moreover, 31,001 paupers and between seven and eight hund:ed poorhouse;, at the charge cf the Government, and forty-two workhouses, in which nnbrei thin 7,000 arc employed; but the system of colo&xa. tion has succeeded so we:l, that very soon there will be no more occasion for these workhouses. There are al ready ten colonies (we believe they have b en planted on the waste lands which are found in the Netherlands), of which eight are in the Northern Provinces, and two in the Sout .ern. They contain 600 houses, and be tween four and five thousand persons, who have al ready brought a peat deal of land under cultivation. In general these Colonies have succeeded beyond ex pectation; they have both sch alls and Cliordies, and present an appearance of contentment. The number of poor in the Netherlands leads to a remarkable con clusion. If among one hundred individual:, there are twelve paupers, the latter must be nourished by the re maining eighty-eight. But of these not above forty four will be males ; but supposing more of the fema:es work, we must still deduct the children and the aged. But we must also deduct the Members of Administra tion, with all the subalterns of Goseinnielit, the Mill- I tart', the Clergy, &c. &c. whence we m iy conjecture, that in one hundred perso--.s there are not twenty-two who work, and whose labour suffices, thanks to the felinity of Europe, to industry, and to the perfection of I machinery. A diy school for the eflticasion of the children of, poor British subjects has been lately established in , ' Paris, under the patronage of L•ird and Lady GRAN VILLE; it IS to be supported by voluntary contribu tions, ani our Ambassador anal his Lady have each subscribed '251. Almost all the E. iglish families in Paris have given their support to this institution, the prospectus of which states that it is formed for the pur pose of moral and religious education for the children. A man named Hodgkinson, a tailor, of Madeley, left Newcastle out Nonday, in a state o: intoxication, by the 9cw &oath, c . 41*,1 the " Alliance," on his way to Lon doe.

The Slave Trade is still . carried on, with notoriety, in the outposts of France. The port of Nantes appears pre erni:lent in this infamous traffic in slaves, which is talked of openly on 'Change, like an y o t he r . The faci lity and security have so far increased, that the rate of insurance has fallen from thirty-five and thirty-six to twenty-five per cent. and these insurances are termed insurantes of honour!" They have ev..n abandoned the slang in which this infamous traffic was hitherto veiled, and talk of it in plain terms. What is more, the devotees have the hypocrisy to engage in it under pretence of converting the negroes—public function aries vest capital in other hands for the purpose, and even calling themselves friends of freedom, do not blush to owe tht it fortunes to the slavery of their fel low-creatures. On a moderate calculation, the numb er of vessels at Nantes alone, engaged in the Slave T r ad e , is no less than eigitty 7 —and the ship owners increase the number of their acomplices, by making the ship builders, and the workmen themselves—the carpenter, the sail-maker, the rope-maker, the smith —,owners of small shares in the illegal and infamous adventure. An eye-witness of the highest credit, who has just visited Nantes, reports from his own observation no lets than eleven slave vessels in ;readiness or preparation ; and states, as efact beyond question, that fifteen had sailed with the same destination a few dais before. Vessels, palpably fitted up for the conveyance of slaves, were to be teen its the sbip-huilders yards, and lying in the river publicly for sale. This was not all. The hand cuffs, the iron fetters, the thumbscrevis, destined for the refractory limbs of the tortured negroes on board, were to be seen by hundreds in the forges.

Jacobi, epos seeing the unfortunate woman, betrayed veil great pertur baties`st mind, and seemed deeply affected. The examination of Elisabeth Eyre to establish the first nu:. riage of the prisonet. with Dorothea Donovan was then taken. was to the following effect :—She recollected the martiage of .Iv 6 Jacobs, the prisoner, with Miss 1). Donovan, of Cove, in to ' County of Cork, but could not say the year or month it took pin Upon the morning of the marriage, Miss Donovan sent fur wit ness's daughter to attend the ceremony as bridesmaid W . permitted ber daughter to be present. During the celebration ' ness was taken seriously ill, and in consequence she was obliged t send for her daughter. This circumstance of her being Moot impressed the marriage strongly upon bee'rnemory. The year fol lowing, witness added, she gave birth to a son, .-he is now twelve years of age. The certificate of the marriage of the prisoner wttb his first wife was here produced, l•F which it appeared that solemnisation of it took place in' the p.trish 'church of Coe, in tiT county of Cork, on the 6th April, 18:5.
