EDINBURGH, APatL 17. litunemer...Tnesday morning a young man, a journeyman limber' those to indulge hi some practical jokes at the expense of an old caddie of the name of Juba Kirk, whom he repeatedly annoyed by throwing at him pieces of skin, meat, and other missiles. The caddie bore it for some time, till being hit rather hard by one of I these projectiles, he became enraged beyond measure, and seizing a butcher's knife threw it with great violence at his persecutor and - the point being unhappily directed towards the Beater's body, it struck him on the left side near the spine, and entering between two of the ribs, penetrated nearly seven inches into his body, wounding part of the lungs, the stomach, and the liver in its course. On meriving the fatal stroke, the young man instantly dropped down, the blood Bowing ptofuiely from the wound, and was im. mediately eactied to the Infirmary, where he languished till the evening, when be expired, we understand, from internal bleeding, which of course it was found impossible to stop. Kirk is in custody. LI ISRATURE. SIR WALTER scotrs LETTER RESPECTING BURNS. (From the " Life of Burns," by blr..Lockitart, just published in Constable i * As for Burns I may truly say, Viegitisim viditaithms. I was' a lad of 15 in 1786-7, when he came first to Edinburgh, but had sense and feeling enough to be mach • interested in his poetry, and smitld have given the world to know him; but I had very little acquaintance with literary people, and still less with the Gentry of she west country, the two sets that he most frequented. Mr. Thomas Grierson was at that time a clerk of my father's. Be knew Burns and teromised to ask hint to his lodgings to dinner, bat bad no opportunity to keep his word ; otherwise I might have seen more of ibis distinguished man. As it was, I saw hint one slay at the late venerable Professor Fergussones, where there were several Gentlemen of literary reputation, among whom I remember ac celebrated Mr. Dugald Stewart. Of course we youngsters sat eiteet, looked, and liuened. The only think I remember which was eemarkable in Burnes manner, was the effect produced upon him by a print of Bunbtayes, representing a soldier lying dead on the snow, his dog sitting in misery on one side—in the other, his widow, with a child in bet arms. Thaw lines were written beneath ; • " Cold on Canadian hills er Minden es plain, Perhaps that. parent wept bee soldier Bent o'er her babe, her eye dissolved in dew, The big drops, mingling with the milk be drew, . Gave the sad presage of his future year, The child of misery baptised in tears." " Berns seemed much affected by the print, or rather the ideas 'which it suggested to his mind. Ile ectually shed tears. Ile a.ked whose the lines were? and it chanced that nobody but myself re menthered that they occur in a half-forgotten poem•of Laughomees, called by the unpromising title of The Justice of Peace. I whis. pered my information to a friend present, who mentioned. ii to Burns, who rewarded me with a look and a word, which, though sof mere civility, I then received, and still recollect, with very great pleasure. " His person was strong and robust; his, manners rustic—not clownish; a sort of dignified plainness and simplicity, which re ceivcd pan of its effect, perhaps, from one's knowledge of kis Cana ordinary talents. His features are represented an Mr. Iklasmytb's picture ; but to me it conveys file-idea that they are diminished. as . if seen in perspective. I think his countenance was more massive than it looks In any of the portraits. I would have taken the poet, had I not known what he was, fur a very sagacious country farmer of the old Scots school, i. c none of your modern agriculturists, who keep labour's* fur their drudgery, but the doweegudeetan who held his own plough. There was a strong ceps eftioll of sense and shrewd. rtes. in all his lineaments/ the eye alone, I thank, indicated . the pew tical character and temperansant. It was Lute, and of a dark east, which glowed (I say literally glowed) when he spoke with feeling or interest. I never saw such another eye in a human bead, though I have seen the man distinguished men of my time. His conversation expressed perfect self-eoulidence, without the slightest presumption. Among the men who were most teamed of their time and country; he repressed himself with perfect firmness, bu: without the least intrusive forwardness ; and when be differed in opinien, he did obi. hesitate to express it &wily, yet at the same time with mods sty. Ido not renumber any part of his cowers& Rion d4tinetir enongh to be timed, nor did I ever me him again, except in the street, where he did not recognize me,..as I could not etpen It should: He was murh-caressed in Edinburgh, but (em ollient% what literary emoluments have been since his slay) the efforts made for his relief were extremely a' I remember eel this *Canon I mention, I thought Burn's ac quaintance with English poetry_ teas rather limited, and also. that having twenty tenses the abilities of Allan %assay and of Fergea. . son, le naked of them with too meth humility ashis models; theft was, doubtless, national redirection In his militate. This is all I can tell yon about Burns. 'saliently to add, that hie dress corterpontled with his manner. Ile was like a farmer dressed in his hest to dine with the laird. I do not speak in simians' parses, when I say I never saw a man in company with his sure riots in station and information, Incite perfectly free front either the reality ow the affectation of embarrassment.. I was told, hut did . not observe it, that his address to feinaks was extremely deferen t/A and always with a turn ciao rto the pathetic or Inamourons, which engaged their attention particularly. I hare heard the late Duchess of Gordon remark tbist —I do not know any thing I can add to these recollections of forty years since.** We recollect having met with a passage in Burns's Letters, to which iretsamsot at present refer,strikingly illustrating this remark, It was to this effect—dm on tecoming familiar with the higher ranks of life, he sate nothing amen the saw that par.kularly die tiOgulibedthem from men elfish own class ; but them/mew appeared quite a new ne&-quite different from what his experience had led IsfOrto andcipate.—ED. • Thursday the house of _Mr. W. A. Johnson, Nelson ' squate, Blackfriars road, was broken open, and a quan tity of plate and other articles stolen. The thieves also attempted the house of Mr. Hannah, in the same square, and broke the iron bar from the back kitchen window, l but were unable to effect at) entrance. The University of Bonn Was restored by Edict of the King of Prussia, dated 18th October, 1818, and its utility may be estimated by the tact that there are now i 1.020 students; a surprising proof of the wants of the neighbourhood, and of the attraction of its eminent Professors. Ttle students exceed half the numbs'r of the whole of those at the six Netherlands Universities.' The tact is, that the latter are on too small a wale, - their image numbers being only 300 each, and with education for 2,000 out of a population of six millions. the Netherlands ate not much better off than England, which reckons about 5.000 at Oxford and Cambridge, out of 12 millions of inhabitants.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF. ZING'S 111INCii, Aran. to. !MATSU v. Wart. , • The plaintiffs are Manchester drarehotisemen, in King street, Cheapside, and bra ught this action to recover the amount of a bill of exchange for 451. against the defendant. The bill was drawn by a Mr. Darby, nlso sent his brother with it to the Seven Dials, to get it discanted, and be lost it on his way back. Notice was immediately given to the acceptor to strip the payment of it, and the less was advertised in four or five days afterwards., In about six weeks sub sequent to this a person, •who said his name was Symes, and that he was a tailor living at Taunton, and about to set up in business on his own account, called and said he was recommended by a respectable person, named Coombs, of West Hatch, near Taunton. whom the plaintiff knew very well, he being a good customer of theirs. He selected goods to the amount of 561. and then asked whether they had any ohjeciion to take a bill for 451. in part of payment. He exhibited the bill, and the plaintiff sent cut to big-lire about the character of the acceptor, which being unexceptionable, the plaintiffs agreed to take it in payment, and the stranger having paid the remainder of the•s6l..in cash, the goods were sent to the Rose and French Horn, in Wood -street, according to Sy mes i difecti..n. When the poster got to the public-house, be was rather surprised to find it was not a booking house, but he found the rerson calling himself Symes there, with another person, to whom he delivered the goods, which were conveyed from the house in a few minutes after. 'When the;bill became due, payment was of course refused, and on inquiry at Taunton, it was . discovered that no such person as Symes was known there. The defence to the action was, thit the plaintiffs had not taken proper precaution, in omitting at .the time to make inquiry whether Symes was the person he repre sented himself to be. • • • The Lben Cuter . J.nsiiet charged the Jury, that if they thought the plaintiffs had net given suCcient con sideration for,the bill, or if they had taken it out of the common course of-business; and under circumstances that ought to have excited suspicion, they would find a . verdict for the defendant, but ptherwise for,tbe The. Jury retired for a quirt4..of •in.bout;4ll4 then returned a verdict for the defendant. . The witnesses from the public-house having -uni formly called Symes " the gentleman."' Lord 'Yenta s den took occasion to observe to Mr. aiongliaro, during the absence of the Jury, that he once,had to. try's woman at Taunton for a petty theft, committed in •a• public-house, and that the publican in his evidence never spoke of the prisoner, who appeared to be in a most destitute condition, except "as .the lady at the bar." (A laugh ) . . . Mr. BROUGHAM said . , he believed that by a gentleman always meant a good•customer, • • LEWIS U. TYSON AND ANOTHER. This action was brought by the plaintiff, who carries on the millinery business in the west end of the MAN to recover the - valueof• a parcel, which did not. MOT the place of destination in due time. The defendants are common carriers, and keep a booking .office in Piccadilly. The parcel, concaving sime mourning, was delivered at the office, to be conveyed by the coach to a family in Norfolk . . The porter whotook the parcel irquited shearer it would go by the coach ? and was answered in the affirmative. Instead-of sending.it by the torch; it was conveyed by the waggon, which ar rived too late for the parties who wanted.the mourning. The plaintiff, in the meantime, was. obliged to se d another suit of mourning ; and as the delay had been occasioned by the defendants, they were called op.m.to, pay the loss.. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages a • LATHEURY V. EAST. This was an action of assault. Mr. GURNEY stated the plaintiff's case. The defendant kept a public house in Thames-meet; and while the plaintiff was quietly sitting in the tip r om eating his lunchetin, the defendant,, in consequence of some trick having been played upon him by some of the comp lay. in which he took it into his head That the plaintiff W4i concerned, took up a kettle of hot water, in which a fish had just Leentoiled, and threw it over the plaintiff, by which the back part of his head was much scalded. John Cowdry said, he was at East's one day in N. weather, and Lathbury was there eating a lunch—he "did not see hino do nothing." East took up . a pot, and threw some boiling water over Lathbury, which blistered his car. .Crossieicaminedhy Mr. BROUGHAM —Saw Lathbury with some beer—there wasmuth joking going on. They were never inticular there as to throwing a hat or so about. Steadrnan.-4 was at East's on the day in ques tion—l did not see Lathbury do any thing-1 believe . I was the aggressor—there was a fish on the sink on a strainer, and I put Lathhury's hat on the edge of the pot—the 'indict(' took the hat, and put it on the bar fine—l said, Jemmy, says I, they've made a chimneys ;rot of your hat—there's all the smoke going up through it. Then somehow the fills got off the strainer into the sink, and then it got into the kettle again—then the landlord took up the kettle of water, and threw it over us all—l had imbue of the fish for my luncheon.—(A loud laugh.) Lord Taarenosn heie interpoled; and asked Mr. GURNEY.% balsa he expected a shilling damages. The parties consented to withdraw *Juror, by which each pays his own costs. ~::.: 1 INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, APRIL 19.

Mr. Turner, the first witness called, refused to be •worn unless he was allowed his expenses. Mr. WoODRUM said he would dispense with his evidence-, and called Simon Solomons.

Mr. Hut a, in the course of his speech on the subject of the election of a Sheriff, said, undkr circumstances alre4dy known, that he was not aware of the hallmote until that morning. An undertaker, who resides in Rite; street, Cripplegate, took upon himself the task of ques tioning the truth of the assertion, and though a Com mon Councilman, endeavoured to be witty at the ex pense of the orator, and called it a blacking affair. HUNT, whose wrath had before accumulated, took fire at the insinuation, and demanded the name of the un dertaker. The latter gave no reply, but made the best of his way off the hustings. HUNT seeing this pursued him, exclaiming in the presence and hearing of the police officers, " Will no one tell me who that man is, and enable me to punish him? Half a crown to any one who will give me his name?" But no one was tempted by the reward; and though HUNT declared in the hearing of every body, that he would exterminate the man who had dared to question his veracity, no peace officer considered sf•e!.e was any danger, and the unde , taket escaied.

John (Grey, a She.iff's officer, and George Street, his assistant,•were indicted for committing an outrageous' assault on Bnn&f and Patterson, two Bow-street officers. On the 14th of November,about twelve o'clock at night, the pro.ecutors were on duty at, Drury-lane Theatre, in •keeping clear one of the avenues leading thereto, when the defendants came up to them, and without any provocation they struck Bond, and threw Pat ! terton with great violence under the fret of the horses of a hackney-coach.

On arriving dime, they assaulted the night constable, and other per lens on duty, and pat out the lights, but were finally consigned to the black-hole.--The Jury found them both Guilty; and the Court sentenced Grey to three months. and Street to two months imprisonment. :Grey exclaimed, " I would rather you hat' sentenced Me to be' hanged--I have a wife and sit children sat home, and she was lying on a sick bed when I lest home, and had not a sixpence in the world ; what is to become of her *Mist I am is prison F” LONDON SESSIONS, APRIL 19. Alerandei &man was indicted for assaulting John Challener. This was a City prosecutior, and the Cors air:ow SgaGaANT stated, that several auction rooms had been opened, and one of them in Cheapside„ which were ger.eri-lly called " Mock Auctions," and which goods were sold of an extremely questionable de,cription.. The Gentlemen of the Ward of Cheap knowing that an ex posure of such practices might have a good effect on the credulous part of society, engaged Challener to walk backwards and forwards with a placard (Beware of Mock Auctions) before the auction room of the de. fendant, who toi.k umbrage at the proceeding, goes 'tinned Challener as to who had employed him, and ultimately a,sattlted him by throwing two hands full of mud in his face. My. Arint.rava- made a powerful appeal to the Jury against the legality of employiag A man to parade before a man e ; hinise with a placard, for . the purpose of in-1 luring him and inciting him to a breach of the peace.' Suppose an Alderman were an auctioneer. and a Person were to yataJe b. fore his house with a placard,eshibitimg Beware of mock auctions" (loud laughter, in which Mr. Alderman Farebrother, an auctioneer, who was on the Bench, joined, and stated that, in such Case, he should certainly indict the man.) Yes (continued Mr. A.) the Alderman has properly said that he would have indicted, him, and so would any one; but my client took a milder course, and only attempted to obliterate the libel by mud, a part of which, by accident, reached his nose--' (Liughtet). It is usually said that a man who-insults 'others should soap his nose before he went out; but it would be reversed in this case, as the defendant would have to soap it afterwards, and remove the injury. The RECORDER obsersei, in - summing up, that it cer tainly was a libel, but the defendant had another remedy. The Jury convicted the defendant, who was fined 10s.
