London, 1821, Those persons who have read the Adventnres of Aftfterd ins, will be pleased to learn that a singlar work, and it . is said, from the same pen, has just issued from the Press. Ilajji 11.tba, the son of a barber, at Ispahan is an Oriental Gil whose adventures are almost a: amusing ? • and whose description of Persia makes us more acquainted with the manners and cu-toms of that country than a dozen bulky quartos of travels. • - PAINTING IN WATER- COLOURS. , Certain professors of. water .calours, who prepare their compositions right through with black. and grey, Rosy everhright the effects which they may bring ont by washing their.Colciiirs over such a general and mill:tried preparation, ure properly deitorisioatedsdraughtsmen or timers; not by way of reproach, but from the mechani cal ease.of their practice. Turner, Haven, Var. ley, and.others, who commence .by laying in the local tints at once, and. advance their designs with the cur responding shadows, may fairly . ley claim to the cha racter of painters in water colours. Those who work .hy the aforementioned mechanical process,con-equently,. cart execate:theitainted designs with ten times the dis patch of those who .paint their compositions. That richness of style which Ilavell aimed at, and which he accomplished hi water colours, could not have been effected by 'the old method bf practice. The new process• Was a discovery which originated with Turner, and was performed by taking out the lights with bread. The process is simple in its means, but requires skald' management. The principal masses of every object are laid in with all the effect that local colouring can give, similar td that of oil painting ; but the finishing is to. tallatAiffeyent, as - the lights instead of being painted on, as in. oih are really taken out. The local effect then is 'thus laid•in, up to the finishing with the high lights, the forms for receiving which are produced•by taking clean water in kcamelhair or sable pencil, and touching with thosaene, all the parts destined-for the lights ; upon which a silk handkerchief is pressed, taking care not to spreacl , the water. This handkerchief, after absorbing 1 the water, is removed. when the parts are dexterously swept over by a bit of bread, pinched to a pellet, which removes the colour, and *eaves the lights-clean and sharp, - and in a beautiful state when.dry; for receiving . the glazing tints." When this process is executed e ith judgment, and with a masterly hand, we feel no hesita= tion in saying, that for the touching of foliage,-tire bark of tiers, the surfaces of stone, plaster, brick, &c. and fir other parts of topographical or landscape composi tion, nothing can exceed it, either in spirit or texture. It has so peCuliar a character, that when Turner's mag nificent etftcts, aided by thil'process, wee first exhi bited at, the Royal Academy, all the painters. were pur.;• zleoi to find out by what art he performed this, graphic magic.4,-,*nerset liouse.GeFxtle.

The most remarkable among them are those of Gani•Parteala, which are the only ones . at.present worked, and even in these, the labours are confined to searching for the rubies in the ancient mines. It is a received 'opinion- among the workmen, that the dia monds increase in bulk, and that those which are now met with of any size, are the refuse of others which had' focoserly been collected,. but which were then thrown, aside. - The facts here mentioned are by no means new : they, were described by Patrin upwards of twenty years_ since:- and furnished •him with an illustration of the extrarirdinary. theory which he then broached, that " diamonds are merely the matter of light in a colleen-, trated ! fertors—Oriental Herald.

WIDIKL This action was brought byalte, plaiuti r % a school at Kirby: hill, in tlie valley of avenswort". Yorkshire, against the defendant, to IL-cover. dartrAgef. for words spoken concerning the way whielf the plaintiff's school was conducted. It was alleged that great scandal had been thrown upon . him, and his cha racter injured. The defendant pleaded, first, the ge 'nera' issue ; and secondly,' that the words spoken were leue. The following were tife words : " The boys sleep 'up in a cock loft ; the roof is, open, and the weather conies in upon them as they lay in bed ; they have no thing to drink but sour milk and water.' He also said to Mr. Broomfield, who had a boy at school, 6: It you, have any regard to your child's life, you will not let him stay an hour • there; in fact the boys are half starved; the bread they eat is made of bean floor, and only fit for pigs. They are eat up with itch and disease." Mr. SCARLETT addressed the Jury for the•plaintiff, who, he said, was obliged to vindicate his character. tie contended that it was a case iu which the Jury ought .to give large damages. It appeared from the witnesses, that the defendant having two boys at the plaintiff's schnil, received a letter from one expressing diskatistaction. conrqueutly went to Yorkshire, in October, 1821, and, being displeased biotite)t away his buys. lie did opt speak of the conduct of the school until five months alter, when be told a 'Witness named that he had brought an action against Mr. 1301. der on for the improper treatment of IA children. He further - observed, that it was time to put down these Yorkshire Schools, and it was his intention to set up a Mr. Ray. In consequence of the words spoken to Mr., Broomfield, the latter sent .for his children, but Mrs., Broomfield, when she went to the. ; school, did not see any strong marks •of improper conduct. It appeared from the, evidence of•several medical men, that the boys had a cutaneous disease, but the character of it was de scrihed by some to be doubtful. • Mr. GURNEY, for the Ilefendant,' undertook to justify the words, and called several little boys, who had been taken from the school in a state of cutaneous disease.' These boys described the food as bad, the drink sour, 1 their persons filthy, the bedding unhealthy and unclean. ls 'Mt. SCARLITT, in reply, contended that the plaintiff) 'had sustained great injury by the defendant's statement. The boys at this school were clothed, fed,.and educated for 201. per annum, and the parents.had.no right to ex feet they should receive better treatment than they had 'at home. He was ready to admit an eruption had ap peared upon the children, occasioned by bathing in August, but the-plaintiff on that account was not to be ruined. The school was well conducted. The LORD CI:IEF JUSTICE was of opinion that the whole of the defendant's representation was not true. His Lordship, however, left the Jury to determine that point. • If they should think' it was -substantially true they ought to find for the defendant. If they should-he of opinion it was spoken to injure the -plainti ff , and that it was not true, ttfey would- find for the plaintiff wi.h such damages as the case might demand.

Whit bread's drays, was indicted for a wanton assault upon John Clements, a fishmonger' at Slough, and on his. son Henry. a.childnot three years old. The 13th of November, the piosecutor was in a light cart, and his child was sleeping at the bottom of it. Upon turning out of one of the .streets into Fish-street bill, perceiving a sufficient space between• two drays, he I drove into the line, and was proceeding towards Lon- Is/on-bridge, when the defendant, the driver of the se cond dray, wishing to regain his position closeuiu the rear of his companion, availed hmiselt of an opening bet wee n the prosecutor's vehicle and the footway, drove :in his horses, and locked the fore part of his dray in the wheel of the cart. The prosecutor entreated him to stop, and he did so for an instant ; but before the wheel 'Could be disentangled, the defendant again moved for ward, saying ll—n you, I have got you now ;if you -don't get your cart out of 'the way, I'll tear it to pieces." 'This threat he nearly accomplished; the wheel of the coniplainant7s cart was shattered to atoms,' the horse thrown down in the road, both the shafts broken, and the sleeping-infant chucked out; fortunately, however, he was caught by his father. Such was the evidence liven by the prosecutor and his wife, who were walking on the foot pavement by the 'side of the art when the affair happened ; and their story was fully corroborated. by Mr. Barnes, a tradesman in Botolph-lane. Mr. Flint, the haberdasher, on Fish-street-hill, who had Witnessed the whole . of the affair from his drawing-. room. window, described the defendant's conduct to be most wanton, and unfeeling; he whipped his horses, though the dray was entangled With- the cart, and ap peared to be laughing and . ..leering,* the expostulations 'of thckystanders.
