. 1 An Essay upon the Question," What are the best means of rendering the National Sources of Wealth possessed by Irisland eject:id for the Employment of the Popu lation," Proposed by the Royal Irish Academy, 1822. By the Rev. It. RY AN, A.R. 12mo. pp. 90. It might be a sufficient commendation of this very valuable little volume to say that it gained the Prize proposed by the Academy ; but the subject to which it refers is so deeply interesting, and the remedies proposed by Mr. Ryan so evidently calculated to promote their object, that we announce the publication principally with the view of recommending it to the notice of those whose situation and influence can alone give efficacy to any plans that may be proposed for ameliorating the condition of unhappy Ireland. The last Military Operations of General Biqa; also the manner in which he was betrayed and treated until Imprisoned at Madrid : to which is added, a Narrative of the Sufferings of the Author in Prison. By GEORGIC MAI-mimes, First Aid-de-(:amp to General Riego. Bvo. pp. 102. With the unhappy fate of Riego our Readers are already well acquainted. A perusal of the work before us will convince them—if any yet remain unconvinced —that the Spanish Patriots, or rather the Spanish peo. plc, were by no means ripe for the enterprize in which Riego was engaged ; and the sufferings of the author will probably serve as a warning to Englishmen (but many can take no warning), not to be so hasty as he has sliewn himself in embarking personally in the quarrels of other people. From the " News of Literature awl.. Fashion." ANTIQUE BUSTS, &c.—There have just been disco vered, within 33 miles of Rome, on the Via Nontentana, in an estate belonging to the Princes Sciarra, some an tiquities of great value. They consist of four statues of marble, of excellent workmanship ; a Perseus, a Bacchus, a Satyr, and a Silenus. But that which has attracted the most marked attention is a female head in ivory. This morceau is invaluable, not only on account of its rarity, but also its excellent workmanship. Another very curious discovery has also been made near Pesaro, on the banks oldie Correa. It is a bronze chest five palms long, and wide and deep in propor tiON which was closel by iron bars, and contained a great number of precious effects, and, among others, a golden crown. The Literati conjecture that this trea sure was buried in 963, by Berenger, King of Italy, on hearing that the Emperor Otho the First had marched from Germany, at the bead of a powerful army, to get pos'ession of his estates. GREEK NIEDALS.—There was found lately in a case mate, at the siege of Lepanto, a great number of. medals bearing the effigy of Alexander and of Pericles. This is an excellent omen for the Greeks, who, on the reco very of their liberty, will perhaps find in it the means of uniting the age of arms to that of the fine arts. SYRIAN MEDALS, &c.—According to letters from Syria, there has been found in the neighbourhood of Jericho, rear the Convent of the Maronites, a large quantity of arms, medals, .pieces of money, and imple r..mits of war, which are dated from the first and se cond Ciusale. - MILITARY Imrno V E, m-ENTS. At the Sitting of the French Academy of Sciences, held on the 11th May, M. Paixhons read a memoir, on the advantages of employing steam-engines in war, in lieu of artillery. He compared, with that of howitzers and mortars, their relative projectile force, which is greatly superior to them, especially those which have been lately - tried at Brest, and which propel balls of 80 French pounds weight, 1930 tuises. Paixhons proves that these steam-engines were first employed, not in the United States, as is generally believed, but in France, where experiments were made in 1810, and subse quently. The invasion of 1814 interrupted the labours which Napoleon had caused to be commenced, and the peace postponed them for an indefinite time. But, has this steam artillery all the advantages which are ex• pected from it? M. Paishons does not think so. Too slow in being brought to bear, it would often be sur prised by the enemy, who would almost always be able to effect their retreat by the time it became useful. Beside, its chief merit consists in its rapidity, and that is not, in reality, the chief merit of good artillery. But, if steam artillery is characterised by doubtful advantages for the purpose of attack, the objections do not hold in revile to steam vessels, and the defence of fortified places.-- However, the rendering the steam navigation more complicated than it is ought rather to be avoided. As to the defence of fortified places, it would become, in consequence of this new species of artillery, much more long and difficult, besides that smaller garrisons would be required. Carnot has already shewn, in his excellent treatise " On the attack and defence of fortified towns," the advantages, that might be derived from machines, adapted for the projection of water or small shot, en the works of the enemy : but this last method would be very expensive, and there would be too great a disper sion of useless balls. Before Calmat, Vauban also re commended the employment, in defensive operations, of machines for throwing stonei; Steam artillery would be perfectly adapted for overwhelming with stones or water a besieger's works: it would be easy to inundate them in this manner, and to render the opening of trenches almost impossible.—The Academy gave the greatest attention to the developement of M. Paixhon's opinion% and instituted a Committee, of which the Duke of Ragusa is a member, to investigate his labours. - - ;xtract of a letter from A;hens, dated April 10: Athens has for me every charm; her recollections, her climate, her ruins, and her reviving liberties.

LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 26. THE KING V. LORD YARBOROUGII. The Loan CHIEN' JUSTICE delivered judgment in this case. It was a question respecting sonic salt-marshes at the mouth of the !lumber, which the noble defendant claimed as belonging to his estates. It consisted of se veral acres ; the plaCe joined the sea, but the sea had receded from it. This case was tried at the Derby As sizes, when, from the evidence there adduced, the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. His Lordship said, the Court was of opinion that such verdict was justly returned, and therefore it ought not to be dis tut bed.—Rule discharged. ÜbUItY.—ASSIGNEES OF GOULDING V. LAING, The argument upon this case was resumed this morn ing, and occupied the Court fora long time. A verdict nad been found, atter a very long trial at ciuildhall, against the defendant, for the penal sum of 9(X(. being three times the sum of .10(1/. which he was charged with having lent to the bankrupt, Goulding, at usu ions interest. A rule had afterwards been obtained, to shew cause why a new trial should not be granted, or a nonsuit entered. The CovnT consulted for some time, and then stated that the objections to the evidence were not good, or afforded any grounds for a new trial; but that the ob jections to the several counts of the pleading were en titled to consideration, and he would therefore take time to consider whether any one of the eighteen counts could support the verdict.—Judgment postponed. SITTING OP THE COURT. In pursuance of the King's warrant it was announced that two or more of the Judges of this Court would sit in the private room at the back of the Court on Monday the 12th, and thence to the Dili July, and on the 25th of October until the commencement of Michaelmas Term, for the dispatch of the arrear of Term business. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 26. HAWKINS V. HOWARD AND GIBBS. This was an action brotight against the defendants for having negligently conducted themselves in securing an annuity which they were retained by the plaintiff to purchase. The case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice Gifford, at Guildhall, when his Lordship non suited the plaintiff, on the ground of a variance between the declaration and the evidence. A motion was made by the plaintiff, in the course of the last Term, to set aside the nonsuit, and to obtain a new trial. The notes of Lord Gifford were this day read, and Mr. Serjeant Vaughan commenced his argument, when the further consideration of the case was postponed, as their Lord ships weir obliged to transact business at Chambers. PREROGATIVE COURT, JUNE 25. CA MILANI V. M[OIOTTO. Dr. STODA AT moved, on behalf of Lazaro Maria Negrotto Cam biaso, fur letters of administration of the property or his grand mother, Donna Maria, otherwise Marina , otherwise Marine Cambiaso Negrotto. T he deceased Lady. before mentioned, died in Genoa, a native and domicile of that place, on the 13th of May, 1807, at the advanced age of 84 years, possessed of landed property in Genoa, and also Stock in this country, amounting to 1,7001. She left one lon, named Lazaro Maria Cambiaso Negrotto, and also a daughter. who, having taken the veil, was excluded from making any claim. 'fbe sou would have been entitled to her property had she died intestate, but she made a will, disposing of her property, and appointing D. Guiliano de Buedo and Signor Antonio Sotto, executors. This will was contested by the deceased's son, and sub sequently declared void. A citation then issued, calling on the persons who supported the will to thew cause why letters of admi nistration shoukl not issue to the deceased's son. Lazaro Maria Negrotto Cambiaso, the grandson, however, appeared by Pesare Parodi, his judicial curator, and contended that he was entitled to the letters of administration, on the ground that his father was insane, and incapable of managing his affairs. Dr. SWAIZY said, he did not intend to oppose the allegation of mental imbecility, but he contended that the heading of the allega tion ought to be entered according to the Caveat Act. head Dr. LeSeL?N— nit inqui (Laughter).r how his Learned Friend wished his altereded UT. SeebA AT wished that all their beads were set right. Dr. SWABET said, all he required was, that it should be stated, such a ore versus such a one. Sir Joan NICHOLL then referred the case to the Registrar, and di rected him to see the case properly entered. Pi RACY.—By a return laid before the House of Com mons, it appears that there were twelve persons tried and condemned in the Assize Court at Jamaica, be tween the Ist of January, 1821, and the 31st of March, 18 . 23, for acts of piracy. Twenty others were con victed at an Admiralty Sessions in May, 1823, and Ilia ,at another Admiralty Sessions on the 7th January, 1824. 14-•Res,-4 , 4. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. In the coir . of last week, a Solicitor applied to the Loan Maven; is behalf of Mr. Rothschild, to grant a warrant foe the ap prehensions( Frenchman named Deforee,on a charge of baying fe loniously obtained Xio,ooo. The application was made upon the facts which had been previously stated to the Magistrates of Bow street, and which have already been made public. It was parti cularly urged upon his Lordship's attention, that the representation made by Doloret, that he had before been trusted by Mr. Roths -1 child (upon which representatioa be obtained the bills) was false. The LORD Maros said, he felt the case to be one of great doubt, but he would not venture to decide upon the application without first taking the opinion of his legal advisers. The case was accordingly laid before the City Law Authorities, and they gave it as their opinion that the fraudulent intention of Doloret was not sufficiently manifest to induce them to recommend his Lordship to grant a warrant. The LORD liiavoe, therefore, under all the circumstances of the ease, acted upon the doubt which be originally entertained, and de clined granting a warrant. CUA ROR or FORGERY,. —Saturday a young men, named Richard Tolkinglon, was brought , before the LORD MAYOR, in the custody of William B eck, an officer, charged with having attempted to pass a forged check for £27, at the banking-house of Willis and Co. of Lombard-street. Eldred Addison, clerk to Messrs. Willis and Cu. stated that the prisoner, who was some time ago footman to Captain Brown, walked into the office, and presented a piece of paper containing these words :—" Messrs. Willis, Percival, and Co.—Please to pay the bearer twenty-seven pounds. S. BROWN." Witness was convinced this order was a forgery ; detained the pri soner, and sent for Captain Brown, but learned that be was at Brighton. A Gentleman, who is well acquainted with Captain Brown, stated that he bad often seen the Captain write, and was sure that the check was not his writing. In fact, it bore but a very slight resemblance indeed to the writing of the Captain. The prisoner, upon being detained at Willis's, contrived to escape into the street through the window, but was soon retaken. lie was committed fur further examination. 'MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Frederick della Piero, an Italian, was charged with the following assault :—Signor Donne, a Surgeon, of Regent-street, who is an Englishman by birth, but has lived a number of years in Italy, 'stated, that being about to publish a work, entitled " Observations on the Ladies of the Nineteenth Century," he was anxious to have the manusci ipt inspected by a master of the Italian language, and some days ago the defendant called at his house, and sent up his card, Sigeor Frederick della Piera teaches the Italian, French, and Latin Languages with the utmost exactness," &c. Seeing this display of genius, he entered into terms with him for the perusal of the manuscript ; but they had scarcely got through a page, when Mr. Donne discovered that he was an illite'rete Ptedmontese, who scarcely knew a word of pure Italian, and none at all grammati cally. lie, of course, withdrew his manuscript, and dismissed him, paying him five shillings for the short time he occupied his atten tion. lie has, however, called repeatedly sitter, and inquired if his services were further wanted? and was always answered in the ne hative, and desired not to rereat his visit. On Saturday morning, however, he called, and demanded, in a very peremptory tone, payment for the whole of the time since his first engagement, insisting that he was all the while in the employ ment of Mr. Donne. Mr. Donne reminded him of his gross igno rance, and requested hint to withdraw; upon which the defendant made a despet are blow at hint, which he warded riff; and then de fendant seized a chair, and aimed such a blow at hint with it, that had flat he defended himself with another chair, his head must have been divided. At length a constable was procured, and the defend ant given into custody. The defendant, thus foiled, smashed all the furniture in the hall, to the value of 101. Mr. Donne said, that he could at once have annihilated him, bring perfectly skilled in the pugilistic art, but he avoided coming to extremities. In reply, the defendant insisted that he had a right to be paid by Mr. Donne front the first of his engagement, at it was no fault of his if his services were not made use of. lie denied that he was ignorant of the ha ban language, although perhaps he might have been wrung in a few trifling distutotions. Mr. Dyne said, he had nothing to do with his ignorance, the assault was a most gross one, fur which the defend ant must find bail; in default of which h.: was committed. 110 W-ST It E ET. A DVFNTLTIIES or A MATO VASA TICLAX.—Three duck-legged nymphs of the Piazza were charged with having despoiled 'llionsas George Lord Townsend of three sovereigns and a 104 hank note. The damsels gave their names Charlotte tra , b, Jim:tut Bennett, and 31ar !ha Archer; but Thomas George Lord Townsend designated them " the female in blue"—" the lemale w green"—and " the female in the,straw butmet and cloas." Thomas George Lord Townsend is not a Lord, but a Mathemati cian of small dimensions and large voice; and, with a three ounce snuff -box in his right hand, and a pinch of Prince's mixture between his left thumb and finger, he detailed the adventure which led to the loss of his money with great coolness and apparent self-satisfac tion.—ln the first place, he described himself to be " teacher of mathematics and writing-master, at Mr. Byng's Establishment, Acton-green, near Baling, in the county of Middlesex." This done, he absorbed an ample pinch of Prince's mixture, and, without closing his box, or waiting to disencumber his upper lip of the super numerary particles, he proceeded with his story, front which it ap. peared, that as he was walking along James -street, Covent-garden, between four and five o'clock un the preceding afternoon, be met the ' "female in blue," who very kindly asked hint how he did ; and he as kindly asked her to take a glass of warns brandy and water with him. Now the " female in blue" was no other than Charlotte Webb, otherwise Dunstahle Charlotte, a damsel chiefly celebrated for an Ashantee physiognomy, an unfortunate penchant for thieves and thievery. and an unquenchable passion for a compound liqueur called "gin and cloves." She accepted the Mehematician's invitation to drink—only she stipulated tor her favourite beverage; and when they had each taken off their glass at the Ship Tavern, in James street, Dunstable Lofty invited the Mathematician to a cup of sou chong and cr 1111 l pet*, at her apartments in Seven Dials. At those apartments Dunstable Lotty,alias" the female in blue," introduced " the female in green" to the Mathematician; and when they had taken a very comfortable cup of tea, the Ma thematician and " the female in blue" sat down to a game at cribbage. They played till the Mathematician was minus nineteen shillings, and then, having had cribbage enough, he proposed that they should go back to the Ship Tavern, and have some more brandy, or anything else the La dles might like better. Just at this moment "the female in the straw bonnet and clogs" dropped in, and they all adjourned to the Ship Tavern together—the female in blue, the female in greets, and the female in the straw bonnet and clogs, all in a row, arm in arm, and the Mathematician in front, gallantly leading the way. Arrived at the Ship Tavern, each called for what liked them best ;" via. —the female in blue, gin and cloves; the female in green, gin and peppermint ; the female in the straw bonnet and dogs, a modicum of pure mar; and the blathentatician, brandy slightly diluted.— Glass after glass went gaily round, and the Mathematician dis played his money, and begged the Ladies not to stint themselves in anything, and for everything they drank he gaily paid; and, as he said, it was all exactly commeilfaut and quite comfortable. But happiness like this was not made to last ; and the tenth round of glasses was but just brought in, when the Ladies began to be aweary of max and mathematics; and therefore, in order to get rid of them both, and bring the business to a regular issue, they resolved to pick a quarrel with the generous Mathematician. The female in the straw borinet and clogs began the row, by de claring that the Mathematician had boxed her ears; the astonished Mathematician denied it; the female in blue told him, if he had served her so, she would have knocked his eye out at his ear ; and the female in green threatened to unscrew his snuff depot. And then, before he could reply, the female in the straw bonnet and clogs seized him by the collar; the female in green dived her hand into his pocket with mathematical precision, and abstracted all his tett:gaining money ; and the female in blue bolted with it ! In a moment blue and green were both gone, and straw bonnet and clogs —unclogged by her clogs, was not long in following. The simple Mathematician, thus " cleaned out," had no resource but calling the watch. The watch came to bit call, and in the course of an hour after the ladies were all lodged in the watch-house ; but none of the money was found upon them, except the 19 shillings which the female in blue won at cribbage. In their defence they endeavoured to make the Magistrate be lieve that the Mathematician was not a mathematician, but a " re gular flash man," and therefore not entitled to the protection of the law; but, at the same time, they positively denied having meddled with his money; and they declared that they ran away from him because he challenged them to fight ! They were committed for further examination. The Rev. JAMBS GARDNER, against whom a verdict for £l5O damages was obtained at the late Armagh Assizes, for " Seduction," came up to be discharged oar Saturday, at the Insolvent? Court, Dublin, but was rep eluded for 15 months from the time of filing his petitios.

The deceased was nearly 70 years of age; and the result of the Coroner's Inquest was looked for with great anx:ety in the neighbourhood where she resided, in consequeace of the hitherto good character of her husband, aild of his having been taken up subsequent to her dea:ll for her alleged murder, and brought before the Nlazistrates of Worship -street, where he had been for some time de tained. The reasons assigned for such proceeding, A ro ,, from some expressions which fell from the d;:ce.i e i upon the evening previous to her - death, when sl.e la young woman who resides with a chandler in White. cross -street, as well as Mr. Bennett, a grocer, " 'that her monster of a husband had kicked her in the side, lsy which her ribs were broken. That she had remained Tor three days on her bed, and was certain that she would never recover." A Miss Phoebe Harris and Mr. Bennett deposed to the foregoing fact. Wm. Smith, a surgeon, stated, that he and his bro. titer, who was also a surgeon, examined the body of the deceased, both internally and externally; that the first thing that struck them was the diseased state of the liver, which is common with persons addicted to liquor, accompanied also by tumour, which could not have arisen (torn recent violence. They found also the lung; to be diseased, and they appeared subject to an old complaint. The valves of the heat t were also ossified, which would of it elf occasion sudden death. They ais examined the head, and found the vessels much dis tended. Saw tri external marks of violence nor any fibs broken ; thought her death might be occasioned by the disca , ,ed state of the liver, the heart, or the head, but saw nothing that could induce hint to think she died flow any acts of violence.—The Jury in a few minutes recut ned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of Gun." SOUTHAMPTON, JUNK t6.—Thursday, a grand fete was given on board the Camilla, Southampton and llavre steam-packet, at which at least 9.50 tpersons were present, including the Mayor and Cot poration. Add. tional interest was given to the scene by the presenta tion to Captain DORAN of a silver cup, the gift of Wa. CHAMEERLAYNE, Esq.

FUNERAL Of MADAME Riaao. Saturday, abort 11 o'clock, the remains of the above Lady were con veyed from her late residence in Seymour-pl.tce, Little Chelsea, to the burial ground belonging to the 11 ,, inan Catholic Chapel in Moorfields. The body was ;land in a hearse, drawn by six horses, and followed by two mourning coaches and four. There were in the fitq coach the following personages :—The Rev. Miguel drl 0, Canon of Oviedo, brother-in-law to the de ceased;itei Don Cayetano Valdes, late Governor of Cadiz, relative to the deceased ; the Colonel Dot Evaristo San Miguel, Chief of the Staff of the moving column of Riego, late First Minister of State; and Don Antonio Icala Galliano, Member of the Corte.—lit the second were Don Juan, or Dios Alvarez de Mendizabal, one of those who contrived the revolution for the restoration of the Constitution ; Don Ramon Escobedo, Member of the Cones; Lieutenant-Colonel Dan Josef Santiago de l'erez, Aid-de-Camp to ltit go ; and Don Vincenti Ber tram de Lis. The body was placed in es - vault pur chased by the Canon. THE SUN LIGHTED WITH GAS.—M. ARAGO, of tl:e Academy of Sciences, Paris, communicated to that body, on the 14th instant, the results of several curious experiments which he had made upon the polarisation of light. From these experiments, he considers Kim• self authorised to believe that the luminous part of the sun is nothing else than a gaseous substance in combus tion, like the flame of candles. SALE OF Wrves.--A great commotion was lately created in the new market, Shude-hill,Manchester, byone of those occurrences which sometimes disgrace the la bouring classes of this country, the sale of a wife by her husband. The vendor was a pensioner with ore arm, • named Hugh Pritchard; his wife was a good-looking woman, apparently about six and twenty. After several bidding-, she was knocked down for five shillings; but not liking the purchaser, she was put up again, and was finally disposed of for three shillings and a quart of ale. The purchaser was then moving off with his prize; but the crowd, taking up the cause of outraged decency, began to pelt them with mud; on which the man slunk away, leaving the woman to shift for herself, and she was glad to take refuge in the lock-up on Shude-hill. There Collier, the officer who has charge of the lock up, very properly detained her ; and having learnt where the husband was to be found, he took him into custody, and lodged both the delinquents; in the New Bailey. On the following day they were brought up before Mr. Norris, who remanded them till Monday, when they were discharged, with a suitable admonition. Tuesday evening, a man of the name of Norman, a tailor living at Aylesbury, sold his wife, with her own consent, to another person, living at the same place, for half-a•crown. The purchaser accompanied her to the house of her husband, who, having seen them within doors, locked them in, and gave them the key of the door through the window. The husband has left the town. Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, a woman of the name of Justice, residing in George-yard, White chapel, went into the house of Michael Corrigan, living in the same place, and in the course of conversation a dispute arose, and Mrs. Justice was desired to leave the house; but on her refusing, Corrigan forced her to the door. She made souse resistance, and while she was standing on the steps of the door, Corrigan gave her a violent kick on the bottom of the abdomen, and she ex pired in about ten minutes afterwards. Corrigan has labsconded—Coroner's verdict—Wilful Murder. BIRTH. June 7, at Craigle Manse, Mrs. Dr. Sdrfing, et a daughter. DIED.
