LITERARY NOTICES. 1. Greece, in 1828 and 1821 ; being a Series o f Letters and other Documents on the Greek Revolution. By Me Hon. Colonel LEICESTER STANHOPIL 81/0. 13s. The actual condition of Greece is here very strikingly elucidated, both with respect to its foreign and domestic policy, and to the eenduct and views of its leaders, whose real characters are unfolded with considerable skill and sagacity. In each of these particulars the volume before us possesses a high degree of interest, which cannot fail to be truly gratifying. The very name of Greece, associated as it is with liberty, and with the recollection of its ancient celebrity, is calculated to awaken and revive in every bosom feelings of the most pleasurable and improving kind-; and every reader, un influenced by party or faction, must feel interested in the struggles now making in that country to recover its former independence. The report on the state of affairs, which 4CCOMpanies the'above work, is the best which, lani;ever appeared, and will be perused with much.. interest. Attached to . the volume ate several curious facsimiles, autographs, ice. 0i • . 11.. #ll4 ,44er s Companion, courprsung Directions for Me Breeding, Training, Management of Setters find Pointers.;, a Description of Winged Game and wild Foa, 4-c. Ai. By f. B. JOHNSON. With Plates by Landseer. 9s. This work, as will be anticipated from its title, is principally addreised Sportsnieti, to whom it will afford.much valuable information. The nature of the fowling-piece, and the properties of percussion powder , are well treat ed; as ate also the author's observations on.dogs, their diSeitiei, powers of scent, &c. Besides the different species of pine, the Work contains much practical information on wild-fowl shooting, and what ever else may be matter of interest to the sportsman. On grouse shooting. the author has been very minute. To preserve these birds, when sent to a distance, they should by packed air-tight, and not drawn. (p. 211). With respect td woodcocks, an erroneous idea prevails , that they live by suction. They feed on worms and insects, which they search for with their long bills in soft grounds - and moist woods, feeding and flying prin cipally in the Hight. They .generallt weigh from' twelve to feurteen ounces, and are chwily found in thick covers, particularly those with wet bottoms, and underneath holly bushes. pp. 228, 9. 111. 'lke Nutriral and Medical Dieietieon ; or, Practical Rules for Eating—and Drinking, and Preserving Health, on Principles of easy Digestion. By J. 8. FONSYTH, Surgeon, Author of the Donlestic Medical Manual. 68.6 d. " S .* o much does the health of people in . general (says the author in his outset), depend upon temperance and simplicity, as well as on the right ordering of diet, that were more attention paid to this stitsiekt, ewer of those diseases which are the scourge of the human race, would be met with in seciety." In accordance with this maxim he discusses the apparatus and established theory of digestion, the renovation of'the human body, the diseases of the stomach, treaimeot of indigestion, liver complaints, &c. The effects of the diffeient species Of food are strewn, accompanied with physical and gas tronoMical observatioos on its selection, preservation,l and preparation, a , well as tertiaries en different alimen tary drinks, such as soups, broths, tea, coffee, choco late, cocoa, Milk, wines, spirits, malt liquors, water, &c. The work further contains a Guide to the different mineral waters, comprising an analysis and description of their properties,. virtues, and doses. .To invalids and valetudinarians it will therefore prove a particularly useful monitor: at the same time Its general plan adapts it to all climates, constitutions, and ages, either for a state of health, or disease. IV. A Practical Treatise on Brewing the various, Sorts of Malt Liquor, and the Mode of wing the thermo meter and 4accharometer. By Ar.Xtaignna Monition, Common Brewer. Bi. This work, as its title imports, is chiefly applicable to scientific brewing. The Author, in his introduction, observes that much of the failure in brewing arises fsOm the liquors being improperly taken, and from not extracting the quantity of saccharine from the malt which it really possesses; for, though,it. is a very com mon remat k, that almost every old woman can brew, yet from want of knowing the proper heats, &c. much of the saccharine remains uneitracted. The work be fore us discriminates the vat ions qualities of malt and hops, contains instructions for malting, and for brewing London Portc.-, Brown Stout, Windsor Ale, Reading Beer, Scotch Ale, and numerous other descriptions of Ale and Beer ; evidently the result of a thorough know ledge of the subject, and conveying much useful and important information. GEOLOGICAL. DISCOVERL — A cavern, which pro mises to be of much geological interest, has been lately discovered on the Mersdip•hills near Banwell, 120 feet below the surface of the earth. The soil which covert its fluor is replete with the bones of quadrupeds ; the remains which have yet been found consist principally of the or and the deer, but some imperfect canine teeth, apparently of the hyznb, have also been discovered.— From the close analogy of the spot with the other ca verns which have been found most productive of qua drupedal remains, and from the circumstance that all the teeth of an elephant were formerly discovered in a similar Rsure, about three miles distant, upon Hutton hill, there is every reason to believe that further exami nation would be well repaid. The bones procured from Hutton-hill were collected by the late Rev. Mr. Catcott, and arc preserved in the lifistol Library. It is understood that the Curator of that . Establishment is at present engaged in an examination of this interesting spot- 7 . 1 'au Woe Ceurifril IMPROVEMENTS IN TIRE Tastrie.—The entrance to InnqTemple-lane, from Fleet-street, when finished, will add 11141C11 to the beauty . of :that 'ciPice, the old entrance being only a narrow gateway, through which foot passengers, carriages, and horsemen had to go, and one carriage filled up the passage, so . that until that passed, evenafoot-pa..seuger.could no; proceed without danger.

We before stated, that , this was a claim for compen sation made bj Mr. Tarbut, an owner of thine-eighths of the ship in question, against Messrs. Tenant arid Nesbit, his eopartners. The vessel had been chartered by the East India Company in 1821, and was about to proceed to sea, but the claimant having disapproved of some alterations which were made in her hulk, repre sented to this Court that she was unseaworthy, and the vessel was accordingly arrested under the process of this Court. Bail was put in for 30001. and upwards, and the vessel having beed . lost, on her return home, off thc Cape of Good Hope, it was now moved that the recogoisances should be estreated. The evidence in the case had been gone into at great length on former days. The whole of this day was takn up in hearing the arguments of Counsel upon that evidence. LVSOLVEN I' DEBTORS' COURT, NOV.II. --.4W-- Dr. James Mathews came up to be heard on his pe tition. Mr. CooKe stated that he was instructed by Col. Slesser, who had lent Dr. Mathews 5001. to establish him as a physician at Sidmouth, to apply to the . Court to appropriate a portion of his pension and pay' to the payment of his debts. The insolvent, who came into Court supported on crutches, on being examined stated, that his half-pay as Military Surgeon is 1271. 12s. a-year, His heilth is greatly impined by the effects of a wound which he re ceived in the battle of the Pyrenees, where a spent ball struck him on the hip. He is daily growing worse, having become, in fact, quite helpless, and he has no hope of ever being able to move about without the aid of crutches. For this wound a pension was assigned to him last year of 1001. a-year for three years. His wife is also in a helpless state, owing to a contraction of one of her limbs. He is consequently exposed to a greater expense for attendance than he otherwise would; and he has been disappointed in his professional hopes by inability to walk without the use of crutches. When he borrowed the 5001. of Colonel Slesser, he expected to be able to practise with some success at Sidmouth ; and even last year, those expectation's still continuing, he offered to give up 1001. a-year to his creditors ; but since then he had become so much Worse, that he was unable to practise at all. His pension is to cease in 1826, but if his wound does not grow better, he expects it will be renewed fcii three years longer. Mr. POLLOCK submitted that the insolvent's income was, under the circumstances, barely sufficient, without any reduction from it, to support himself and his wife. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS expressed his great re gret at.the misfortune which prevented Dr. Mathews fliim attending to his professional pursuits for the pre sent. Independently of what was stated in Court to day, he had other sources of knowing that no man was more highly received in his profession ; and he trusted that in a little time the Doctor would be able to relieve himself from the temporary pressure which was the consequence of circumstances that reflected no discre dit upon his character. Mr. COOKS here begged to observe, that be had not been instructed by his client to cast t he slightest impu tation upon the conduct of Dr. Mathews, far from it r and he was sure that his ,character stood as clear this' day in Court, as ever it did its the field of battle. • .11fr. Commissioner Hatitii said, that in justice tif slieditois, he must appropriate 501. to them out of the, half-pay and pension ; this sum, hoWever, to be liable to. reduction in the event of the pension being disconti nued. The Court then Ordered Dr. Mathews to be dis charged father*, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, NOVEMBER 11. William Dcuiger was indicted for assaulting Williams Hazard. The parties were Mere lads. _ The prosecutor stated, that he was one evening, at the end of October, proceeding very quietly along Brill-row, when he received a blow on the right side of the head. He turned round to look .for his assailant, but the latter, as if aim* of his intention, cunningly hit him in the left eye With such force and precision, that the blow at once cloied ur that necessary organ, and lodged its possessor in the kennel, to the serious de. triment of a new suit of clothes which he had on. The prosecutor, however ' had still one eye left, which enabled him to discover that it was--the prisoner who . used him so roughly._ The prisoner, when called on for hit 'lllefince, pro ceeded to tell his story. Oa the night in question he saw the prosecutor Walking arm-in-arm with a young Lady, with whom he had " kept company" for a year and eight months, and, as he imagined, to some purpose. Many alover under such circumstances would have ventured upon some desperate act ; but he, fortunately, was all self-possession, and contented himself with ask ing the prosecutor what businets he had with the Lady ?. The prosecutor ' in return, asked the prisoner What that was to him? The prisoner, still all meekness, said "It was something to him ;" whereupon the prosecutor in.' quired contemptuously " How he Could help himself?" . From words they came to blows, but-Ghich struck first he could nut for the life of him tell. The Jury found the prisoner OrtNy. The Count sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of Si. Lockyer was indicted for assaulting Mary Bennett. The prosecutriz lodged with the prisoner, in North street, .Manchester-square. On the .30th of October they had a quarrel, when the defendant kicked her vio lently, and otherwise ill-treated her. Another witness was called. who confirmed her testimony. The defen dant made a long speech, and called three witnesses • . all of whom swore positively that on the 31st of October, the day after the assault, the prisoner did not strike the prosecutriz at all. ,This sort of , evidence did not avail the defendant, who was found Guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of Si. • J. Feash was indicted for assaulting J. Ransom. The defendant pleaded Guilty. The prosecutor stated the circumstances of the case, to'enable the Court to deter- mine the punishment. He went into a public-house where there was a bagatelle board ; the defendant and he quarrelled, and the former pushed the bagatelle board towards him, and if it had struck him it would have broken his ribs; he then threw one of the balls at his head, and if he hid not caught it in his hand, it would have knocked his eye out; he then struck at him with the mace, but he knew his cue too 'vell to re ceive the blow, which if he bad would have broken his head ; the last attempt, however, (a blow* in the mouth), he did receive, and that was the injury he had to com plain of.—The Court sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 13s. 4d. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • , • 11141111110 N-HOUSE Yesterday Itass4 ilhat'ffidiketgardener, who was charged some days since with lekelleillierat his wife With intent to kill her, un derwent a findiehailliffilMion. It was stated en 'the first examination that the prisoner having found his wife walking in Cheapside, fired at, and wounded her. The wife, who is a tall, lusty middle-aged woman, was sufficiently Well to attend yesterday. She stated that her husband pursued and threatened her': in- Bucklenbury he drew a pistol out of his pocket, and fired at her, brit the contents missed her. He then attacked her with the pistol, and beat her dreadfully over the head, until she was reduced to a note of insensibility. The Surgeon who dressed the wounds of the wife, when she was taken to the hospital, stated that het head was severely contused, and the skull was - fractured, but there were no shot wounds. Mr. Brown, the Marshal, stated that the prisoner acknowledged that the pistol was loaded with shot, as he could get no bullets. The prisoner, who was extremely wild in his appearance, main tained the same close silence that he preserved since his first exami nation. It has been stated that his mind is impaired, and that he bad some time sanctioned his wife's course of life, and received the money she obtained by it, whilst str others he has furiously Maltreated her. The Loan Mavoz, however, did not conceive it necessary to the Issue to inquire into the characters of the parties. His a.ordship fully committed the prisoner to take his trial at the Old Bailey, on the charge of having feloniously shot at his wife with intent to kiLl her. After the prisoner was removed from the bar, his Lordship re quested Mr. Brown to inform Mr. Wontner, the Governor of New gate, of the suspected state of the unfortunate man's mind, that proper attention might be paid to him. An aged man in a sailor's dress, whose face was strongly marked with humour, as well as beaten by time and weather, was brought before the Lou, MAYOS, charged with having begged from several shopkeepers. His system was rather curious. Upon entering the Justice Room, he leaned upon the bar with his arms folded, and awaited the storm with the most laughable serenity. Allen, the Officer, gave the following account of his prisoner, who told him that his name was Mr. Collop. The old man walked into a shop, with his pipe in his mouth and his bat on his head, and told the owner that he was in want of something to eat, and would be glad to be supplied without going any further. He took be tween every two of,three words of this entreaty a whiff of his pipe. This original mode of asking charity excited more surprise than resentment, and in some instances he was successful. While the Officer was watching him he received twopence halfpenny ; but hap. pening to walk into a pastry-cook's, where his pipe wa-, no treat, and his appearance promised no very desirable custom, he was received in an exceedingly inhospitable manner. The Officer thought the best way to ascertain the legality of this mode of raising the wind was by a representation to the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Collop having DO objection, the question was accordingly submitted. His LORDSHIP apprehended, from the abovementiened conduct of the prisoner, that be was in the habit of living upon contributions on the public, and told him so. The Officer said, the old man admitted that he was a beggar, but gave a very bad account of that trade. " I have," mid he, " beta a long time at it, and GOD knows it seldom makes people indtiendent, whatever others say about it." The Loan MAYOR asked him what trade or employment be had been engaged hi berme he entered upon that of a beggar ? The old man said, be had been a faggoter at Chigwell, where he was born ; and which he had lately left for the purpose of pay ing a visit to his wife, who lived neat Tottenham-court-road, with her sister. The LORD MAYOR said, that in all rirobability his wife could not afford to give him the means of support, and that his visits to her might he injurious to her. The old man said, it was all very true, but the last time he visited his wife she made him a present of a shilling. The Loan Mason.—And you begged your way up to tows is expectation of another ? Prisoner.—lndeed, my Lord, that's the whole truth of the matter. The Loan Mavoi.—lf you are caught begging, we must deal harshly with you. You must go to your parish immediately, and I would advise you to seek at once other means of living than by the arts of a beggar. His Lordship then made a practical comment agaiost his own doctrine, by putting his hand into his pocket and relieving the veteran.

Tostsas k'ezt, a very decently dressed man, wasbrought ttp frdm St. dement's watth-house, charged with attempting to break bpestl the Mite of )fr. Edward Hart, in Wych-street, during the night of Nedtleiday, with intent to commit a felony. &ion niter midnight, a watchman going about his beat in Wych dirat;:hila the prisoner at the door of Mr. Hart's house, in a stoop ing *Attire, with his hand applied to the door, as if endeavouring to unlock it. The watchman seeing that be was a stout fellow sod nsight - probably overpower him if be attempted to take him walked on to another watchman, aid they returned together. The prisoner was still at 'his work, but seeing the two watchmen ap proach, he turned from the door and reeled about as if he was drunk. The watchmen took him into custody, and found upon him fouralffecin - keys and other housebreaking implements. The prisoner said he found the implements, and did not kaiser the use of them any more than a child. He was committed to take his trial foe the misdemeanours lIATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, I. Watts was brought up for re-examination, charged with robbing his employers, Messrs. Johnstone and Urookes, lamp manufacturers, No. 59. New-street-square; Fetter-Lute. Mr. Johnstone now intimated to the Magistrates, a desire on his part (should it meet their approbation) to let the prosecution drop; nothing of magnitude had since appeared against the prisoner, and perhaps the imprisonment he had suffered, together with a serious admonition, might have a more salutary effect, even than the severer pet:aides due to the offence. In making this proposition, Mr. Johnstone said he felt more for the innocent wife and children of the culprit, than be did for himself, who was bound to him (Mr. ,Johnstone) both by ties ef gratitude as well as honesty, for the many pecuniary obligations previously cooferred on hip. The Sitting Magistrate observed, that though he could not help admiring the humane feeling which dictated Mr. Johnstone's aban donment of the prosecution in this case, yet; generally speaking, he was averse to the principle of this h alf-way justice; offences of this nature were toe frequently perpetrated to be overlooked for individual regards, however well intended. But, as Mr. Johnstone obterved, that the present critical ettuadonin which the prisoner's dishonesty had placed him, may be slaking lesson to him and his fellow-workmen, be might now be discharged ; yet be would do well to look to his suture condoct-4 second offence could not meet with such lenity.

LAM BRt/I-S MUT. Several persons, who were in the employment .of Mews. C hz : ling and Young, ship-builders, in Limehouse, were charged wire combining together to leave their work, and with inducing other to follow their example. It was stated, that since the rTeal of th e Combination Laws, several of the men empl6yea by ship-Witless bad manifested a disposition to strike for an advance in wages, and several of the Akers of this establishthent wefe called out to p: 5 . serve order. The defendants were all chirged with exciting ° t i ter , to leave their employ, and even hooting at the men who disregard e i their advice. Sir Mintz. WILLIAMS told them, that although the Conthissf,,,, Laws were repealed, the Act of the 4th of the present King gave the Magistrate power to commit them for three months. , Mr. Young, one of their employers, said, the men earned from ss. to 10s. per day; and although he was obliged to engage other. t h their absence, be was not desirous they shoUld be severely ronisha They were then held to bail.

POLICE REPORTING. ....-miGIN..-• A few' (hip ago, Sir Richard Birnie, Chief Magistrate of Police, and perhaps the most experienced man is the commission of the peace in this metropolis, in the course of a conversation at the office in Bow -street, with a County Magistrate (Mr. Beckett), upon the sub ject of police reports, expressed himself in neatly the following words am a strong friend to police re ', ports when they are fairly and properl y given. I knnw that they do an infinite deal of good : I know that their publication often leads to communications of the greatest importance, which would never otherwise he obtained: I know that many a dangerous criminal has been brought to justice, who, but for the publication of his case, which has brought forth evidence that could not previously be obtained even by the greatest exer tions, would have been again let loose to follow his course of depredation upon the public: I know also, that many unfortunate beings, who were driven by the pinching hand of poverty to the commission of theft, have, in consequence of the mention of their cases, re ceived the donations of the benevolent, and have been rescued from want and misery, and enabled to provide for themselves perhaps for the remainder of their days. In fact, I conceive, that upon general grounds, the news papers do great public good by publishing such re ports, so long as the task of furnishing them is intrusted to men of integrity and competent ability." It will be recollected, that a short time ago, a man, under very su.picious circumstances, was brought up to Hatton-garden Police-office, charged by Mr. Dar ling, livery-stable-keeper, in St. John -street, on suspi cion of being concerned in stealing two horses, and two new bridles and saddles. Two men came to his pre nifses.at the early hour of five in the morning, and re. (Witted adthission, and that the horses should be m iserly attended to. The extremely exhausted state of tht animals convinced him that they were over-ridden, Ad accordingly he went to Read, the chief officer of . Hattotnar den, wha immediately repaired to the spot. itc ' companied by his-son, and succeeded in securing one ofthe men. In consequence of the publication of the viistornstance in the priblic prints, giving some descrip ' dap of the horses, a letter was received yesterday morn ing at the above office, from a Gentleman in the court try, expressing his conviction that the stolen property was his, and that it was his intention to attend in tl.e Course of a week, to prosecute in the case. In some cf the Papers it was stated, that the men ,who stood in armour at the Civic Feast were gieatiy 'fatigued and exhausted by the weight. This we are authorised to say was not the fact. The Lord Maps, aware that the labour would be diminished by being divided, directed that two sets of men should alter nately case themselves. This was done, for the first time, and the men underwent no inconvenience. Wednesday night, about n o'clock,a fire 'woke not at Mr. MITCHELL'S, linen-draper, in Oaford'street (it is supposed from the bursting of the gas), which entirely destroyed the premises.
