THE LATE JOHN HUMFFREYS PARRY, ESQ' FROM THE LITERARY CHRONICLE. 41 It is only two months ago, that, in alluding to a new work by Mr. Parry, we observed,—' We are sure the sons of Cambria will be grateful for the service Mr. Parry has done his country, and will allow that he hia entitled himself to a niche at some future, and we hope lar distant, period, in The Cambrian Plutarch.' Little, alas I did we dream of our short-sightedness, or expect that we should have the pain of finding that period we hoped so distant arrived so soon. The death of a man of distinguished talents, in the pride of life, and the full vigour of - intellect, is at all times a melancholy event; but it becomes doubly so, when the individual falls not by the natural' operation of disease, but by the band of violence. Such, alas ! was the end of Mr. Parry " Mr. Parry was a native of Wales, and he did honour I to the land of his birth, both by his talents and amiable character ; he was an excellent classical scholar, an elegant writer, and deeply versed in a knowledge of the literature and history of hi. country. He was the editor of The Cambro Briton,—a work which dis played more original talent and deep research than any periodical of the day. He wrote several essays, which were read with great applause before the Cymmrodorion Society, of which he was one of the most active founders. In philology, he perhaps had no equal at the present day; and his death is a serious loss to society and to literature, as he was engaged on anew edition of Dr. Johnson's Dictionary. The doctor, it is well known, was quite ignorant of the Welsh lan guage, from which so many of our words are derived, and the etymology of which he entirely mistook. " Mr. Parry's last work was the Oambrian Plutarch, which not only contains well-written memoirs of the worthies of Wales, but an admirable critical history of th literature of the country. He was also an occa stonal contributor to periodicals, and the Literary Chronicle has often been enriched with bis productions. His favourite signature, particularly on subjects con nected with Wales, was Ordovex. Mr. Parry was of mild and unassuming manners; he possessed strong conversational powers, and there were few subjects with which he was not acquainted. " Though born of a good family, and with the fairest prospects in life, yet fortune shone not on Mr. Parry, and we regret to state that he has left a wife and five children, who had no other dependence than his exer tions, and are now left destitute. They have a strong claim on British benevolence, and we trust their appeal to it will not be made in vain." Fashionable routs have commenced for the season, and " At Home" cards have been distributed in great abundance, but w'thotAt any extraordinary regard to discrimivation. The " tea and turnout" hospitalities are out of favour, but supper parties preserve their usual attraction. iris Highness FREDERICK IV. Duke of GOTUA, died on the i lth instant, at seven o'clock.

" • • • • GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL, Held at the Cape of Good Hope, on the 15th of June, 1824, for the trial of Lieutenant WILLIAM Ocravius Aratuson, of the 49th Regiment. HORSII GUARDS, JANUARY 18, 1825. At a General Court-Marti.d. held at the Cape of Good Hope, on the 15th of June, 1824, and continued by adjournments to the 27th of July following, Lieutenant Wituax Ocravtus *minion, of the 49th Regiment, was arraigned upon the under-mentioned chkrges, viz. '• lit. For infamous, base, and dishanourable conduct, in insti gating, aiding, and assisting an inhabitant then of Cape Town. named Nathaniel Joseph Smith, in writing two scandalous and false statements, dated the Ist and 2d of September, ins, with a view of conspiring against the honour and character of Major Gregg, at that period commanding the 49th Regiment, in prejudice of good order and military discipline, and in breach of the Articles of War. " 2d. For having in his possession two written papers, containing scandalous and false statrtnents, highly reflecting upon the honour and character ef Major Glegg, at that period commanding the 49th Regiment, shewing such statements to several individuals, and not communicating the contents thereof to MajorGlegg for some days; 'such conduct being highly subversive of good order and military discipline, arid in breach of the Articles of War. " 3d. For hesitating to relinqui►h possession of the two written papers_ mentioned in the preceding charges, on the morning of Thursday,t he 4th of September, l 823,when producing them a second time by desire of Major Glegg; and in his (Major Glegg's) quarters, declaring In a violent arid insubordinate manner, that be (Major Glegg) should not have the said papers, nor would he allow them to remain in Major Glegg's hands, until an Officer of the Regiment was sent for to witness their detention, when he (Lieutenant At kinson) exultingly declared he had another copy in his possession, thereby attempting to overawe his Commanding Officer, the same bring subversive of good order and military discipline, and in breach of the Articles of War. " 4th. For living publicly, for several weeks, in the Castle Barracks, about the month of August, 1823, with a female of the name of Smith, the wife, or reputed w►fe, of Nathaniel Joseph Smith, at that time an inhabitant of Cape Town, in apartments adjacent to rooms occupied by a married Officer, notwithstanding be had been frequently advised and admonished upon the subject by his Commanding Officer, Major Glegg; the same being highly di.graceful and indecorous, and obnoxious to the families of the married Officers stationed in the Barracks, and in breach of the Articles of War. " sth. Fur uttering a base and deliberate falsehood to Colonel Napier, the Commandant of Cape Town, on or about 27th August, 1523, stating that he had dined the preceding day with Lieu tenant Blythe, 49th Regiment, at Wynberg, when, in fact, he had dined that day at a public-house called the Half-Way-House, in company with Mrs. Smith, the wife or reputed wife of Nathaniel , Joseph Smith, then an inhabitant of Cape Town • at which dinner Lieutenant Blythe was not present; the same being degrading to the character of an (Meer and a Gentleman, and ha breach of the Articles of War." Upon which Charges the Court came to the following decision : " The Court having maturely and deliberately weighed and con sidered the evidence against the prisoner as to its bearing and nature, and the exculpatory statements and defence of the priioner,with the arguments he has used 'to disqualify the principal evidence against him, and the claim he has made that the Court reject the document containing the admission of his guilt, are of *pinion, on the first, se cond, and third Charges, that the prisoner is Guilty. " With regard to the fourth Charge, the Court are of op nion, that the prisoner is guilty of that part of it which accuses h i m of living publicly in his quarters with Mrs. Smith; but there is a want of proof as to the length of time she lived with him ; nor is it proved that this was obnoxious to the family of more than one married 06cer. " And with regard to the fifth Charge, the Court are of opinion, that the prisoner is guilty of telling a falsehood to Colonel Napier." " The Court, therefore having found the prisoner Guilty of the lade of the first, second, and third Charges, and part of the fourth and fifth Charges, do sentence him, the said Lieutenant William Octavius Atkinson,49th Regiment, to be dismissed the Service, and to be declared unworthy to serve his Majesty in any military capa city whatever." a The Court feel themselves called upon to observe on the apparent implication of Ensign Brown in the conspiracy, and, as far as they are able, are desirous to extenuate his conduct. It appears to Chem, that he has unwarily been involved, by Lieutenant Atkinson, with the view of attaching greater credibility to the statement of the witness Smith ; and that he was kept ignorant of the principle wich actuated the conspiracy." • In consideration of all the circumstances attending this ease, his Ma.nsTrhas been pleased to approve and confirm the finding of guilty, pronounced by the Court upon the first three Charges pre ferred against Lieutenant Atkinson, and to command that he shall be dismissed his Majesty's service. His Royal Highness the COMMAIIIMM-IWCUIZT directs that the foregoing Charges, together with the finding and sentence of the I Court, and his hLtarsves commands thereon, shall be entered in the General Order Book, and read at the head of every Regiment in his NIA/Lille, service % By command of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, (Signed) HENRY TORRENS, Adjt.-GcnetaL DREADFUL FlRE.—Yesterday morning, at half-past three, a dreadful fire broke out in the premies of Mr. Blackburn, pawnbroker, on Saffron-hill. It was first discovered issuing with violence, from the back part of the ware-room, (the second floor) by a labourer, named Kelly,living in Hatton -court, in the rear of the premises, who immediately gave the alarm. The fire soon burst forth through the front pact of the ware-room, in spite of all exertions, and in a short time the back part of the first floor was in flames. At this period, four men belonging to the Hand-in-hand Office, by means of a ladder, got through the first floor window, at the immi nent risk of their lives, to ascertain the "state of the pre mises, when suddenly the :Pa and second floor gave way, and the entire were precipitated into the cellar. Miraculously no lives were lost, but the men were all dreadfully injured, two in particular, Levan and Har rion, who were immediately conveyed to St. Bartholo mew's Hospital. Tuesday se'nnight, a melancholy occurrence hap pened in the neighbourhood of Bray, to Mr. James Fox, who, while out on a shooting party, and in the act of passing through a hedge, applied the butt-end of his gun to put back the bushes, when the piece went off, killed MARSH. AND ,IX4TBANXIIVPTCT. We have received a Report to the Assignees cirthe late Banking-house, drawa,up by Mr. Robert Wilkiwt ; son, the accountant. • .., , ' Mr..Wilkinsou begins hie Report by stating diet he, had directed the commessidnent of his inquiries to the; period when the partnership *as formed in 1814; but be refers b.4ck to, May 18OV, when Mr. Fauntleroy be► came a partner, with the view of ascertaibing whether the allegation that at that time the hou%e was insol rept, was—well or ill founded. He affirms that at that period 113 d April, 1807, the house had a capital of 5e33,3110 I 9 Cash in their drawers - 53,609 13 5 Excheluer Bills their own property 8,622 16 6 Bills of Exchange, discounted for customers 133,762 15 • Bonds and notes .; - - ' 42,655 0 0 and was consequently neither insolvent nor necessitous. This state of things appears to have continued until July, 11110, when they were induced by the temptation of a commission to accept the drafts of a commercial firm (we suppose Brickwood and Co.), engaged in ex tensive speculations, and by this imprudent measure a pressure upon the house followed. Mr. Wilkinson, in an Appendix, No. 3, exhibits the c9ndition of the house •in 1814. He goes on to argue, that it is an erroneous notion to suppose that a dis covery of Mr. Fnuntleroys forgeries was to be expected from the books of Marsh and Co. and that these felo nious transactions will never be found to have been un dertaken for, or applied to, the service of the house. He thus describes the manner in which the transfers of stock were made-4. The practice, it appears, was, that if either Mr. Stracey or Mr. Graham was going into the City, they asked M. Fauntleroy if anything was to be done there by them respectively? and he gave them their instructions ; hich related sometimes to the re ceiving of dividends or pensions, but more commonly Were to the effect that there wete some orders which he (Mr. Fauntlefoy) had sent to Mr. Spoiling, and which they were to attend him (Mr. Spurling) to the Bank to complete. Mr. Su acey then, or Mr. Graham, proceed. ing to the City, waited upon, Mr. Spurling, who ac companied them to the Bank of England, he having previously made the necessary dispositions there in pur suance of the (lit ections he had received from Mr. Faunt leroy, and they respectively signed, entirely as a mat ter of course, without scruple or inquiry, the-papers laid before them, in the fulle.t confidence that Mr. Spurling had received proper instructions from Mr. Fauntleroy, whoof necessity knew whatorders he had given, and who would take care that a proper account was rendered to him, by Mr. Spurling, of the due execution of tho.e orders. Neither Mr.Stracey, nor Mr. Graham, therefore, thought it incumbent on them to take any particular account of the Stock they were transferring, much less did they consider that they had anything to do with the actual receipt of the amount for which they had signed receipts; the money was invariably received by Mr. Spurling, who they knew, or believed, had re ceived his instructions for the disposal of it from Mr. Fauntleroy, before their arrival at the banking•house in the morning."

At the opening of the Court this morning, a man about fifty years of age was brought up to plead to an indictment, charging him with the capital offence of burglary,alleged to have been committed in the parish of St. James's ' Clerkenwell. lie pleaded Guilty. The Learned Judge expla ined to the prisoner, that by standing his trial he might better his condition. The prisoner replied, that he saw no reason why he should alter his intention i and the plea of Guilty was recorded. ' The prisoner, who appears to have seenAetter days, retired. Immediately afterwards a female, charged with a similar offence, put in a similar plea, in which she persisted; but the Learned Judge did not suff,:r it to be recorded, and ordered her to be brought up on Monday, by which time she might be advised to change her resolution. _ _ _ Druid Collins was indicted for stealing, on the 21st January, an order for payment for the sum of Z 4 15s. the property of Thomas Taylor and Co. in their dwelling-house.—Guilty—Deotts.

The prosecutrix was a young girl of slender form, and about twelve years of age. After she gave her evidence, several persons gave the prisoner an excellent character for morality, Ste. Mr. Justice Mansura( recapitulated the evidence, and remarked on the discrepancies and contradictiogs by which it was marked, when the Foreman of the Jury informed his Lordship that he might spare himself the trouble, as they were satisfied of the prisoner's innocence, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Thomas Adams, aged 35 years, a man of gentlemanly appearance, was indicted for stealing a mare, value X2l, the property of Samuel Badgery. Verdict—Guilty. The prosecutor recommended him to mercy, on the ground that he believed his to be the dupe of others. We have received by the way of Barbadoes, some more details of the conspiracy at St. Thomas's. The Chief, it is said, was a LieuEenant Fume, of the Colonial Militia, a creole, who had received his education in Scotland. He was in custody with twenty-five others, implicated in the plot; a Secret Committee was sitting at the date of the letters we have received, and from the energy displayed by the Danish Governor, all alarm respecting immediate consequences had subsided. The conspiracy- had extended to all the adjacent islands. The celebrated Joseph Lincaster,:is at Caraccas, en gaged in teaching his system of education; but from one of his publications, it would appear that he meets with poor success. He complains of want of room, want of friends, and want of scholars, having only fifty instead of five hundred, which he expected.--American Paper. THR GRAVR OP BONAPARTR.—..It will be recol lected that the remains of NAPOLEON BONAPAETR were interred in a retired spot about three miles from the town of St. Helena, and near a well, from which water was procured for him at his - particular desire. It is stated that the land on which this interment took place belonged to a Mr. RICHARD TOPER; who is hi the habit of supplying ships which touch at the Is land with provisions and live stock; that Mr. Toaster allowed the body to be bntied on the request of the . Authorities, without any condition or stipulation ; that subsequently a guard was placed over it, and a tempo. rary barrack erected; that he urged his complaints in a memorial, but got no tedress; and that he then re. solved to obtain payment in another way, and by charg. ing a dollar as a toll on all visitors, he expected to clear a sum of between thr e j hundred and four hundred pounds, the average number of visitors to the grave being about fourteen hundred. He was ordered how ever to discontinue this toll after it had been collected for a short time. Hereupon he repaired to England, to claim compensation, and demanded 10001. for his land. It is now settled that he shall receive 5001. to be paid by the East India Company on his return to St. Helena. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, FEB. 21.
