We noticed a new book byMr. PIN NOCK a few days ago. 11,is is net one of his; but it is one which belongs to a cer rain cis.. , of his books. The title page informs us that it givee " illustrations of the most important periods in Ancient and• Modem History, with a particular account of the British Constitution and Commerce--forming a supplement to PIN NOCK'S Grecian, Roman, and Eng lish Histories." The author of this useful compilation is W. C. TA Y LOR, A.M. of Trinity College, Dublin; and of him it must be said with truth, that he has fairly proved not only that history is one of the most useful studies for youth, but that those engaged in the business of early education have long mistaken the manner and Matter of what ought to be taught. Within the brief compass of 370 pages, we have the most stiiking and important passages of the ancient history of the Greeks and Romans ; the struggle between the former and the Persians, and the wars between the latter and the Car thaginians. In the same department we have subjoined a history of Greece in the classical and heroic ages—s topic strangely omitted in the common school histories ; and the blank left in the same course of school studies, between the death of Alexander and the establishment of the Roman power in the east of Europe and in Asia—a period replete with events of interest and instruction— is here filled up. From these ancient studies, the reader, by an easy and natural transition, is brought to the modern history of Europe—a study surely more important to those who are destined to move in modern times than the former. This portion of the work commences with the age of CIIA ALEMAGN 11, when things begin to wear more settled form, and when systems of government, completely new, are found to be every where established.' Here the feudal system began, which is scarcely extinct in our own day; here chivalry had its commencement; and we have an account of the origin of both, with a history of the Crusades—those wars which exhibited such a strange mixture of chivalrous feeling and religious fanaticism, and the principles of which long exercised a fatal influence in Europe;—but of which all the young, and many advanced in years, of the present day, know nothing, except what they may have gleaned from the Romances of Sir WALTER SCOTT. In connection with the modern history of Europe, the establishment of such a vast empire as the English now possess in the East could not be properly passed over; and therefore we have an account of European commerce with India before the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope, and the British connection with India since. We have next some chapters of the biography of such individuals as have pro duced permanent effects either on the politics or literature of our country ; first from the invasion of the Saxons to the accession of Henry IV. i. e. from the times of the Venerable Bede" in 672, to those of GEOFFREY AUCEit in 1400; secondly from the age of Henry IV. to the Reformation, beginning with the life of WI ma AM ' SAWTRE the fi rstEnglish Protestant Martyr, (who, as our readers know, was burned in Smithfield for main taining those doctrines which are now maintained by all the Protestant Churches) and ending with the lives of Cardinal WOLSEY and Sir THOO. MORE. Lastly, in this interesting department, we have biographical notices of such eminent persons as figured from the Reformation to the Restoration, beginning with CRAMMER, Archbishop of Canterbury, and ending with the beloved, the highly moral; but yet the melancholy contitutedW. COWPEIL,WhO died in 1800. We herein this valuable miscellany a very comprehensive chapter on the British Constitution. The time has been when the nature of the Constitution was ae much a dead letter to thelLu ik t i liful student as were the contents of the Alcoran. God, that day is fast passing away ; and it is to such useful treatises as those of PINNOCK and TAYLOR that must be ascribed the good effects arising from a thorough knowledge of the rights and privileges of Englishmen, among all classes of the people—from the humble cottager's boy, educated at the village school, to the scion of aristocracy. From a book of such varied contents as the one before us, we cannot, in justice to the author, make any lengthened extract ; but to shew the spirit of freedom and patriotism that animates him, we here introduce a sentence or two from his opening chapter on the Constitution : "In the history of nations," says Mr. TAYLOR, "we may trace their elevation or decay to the nature of their govern ments. That spirit of manly freedom, which is the life blood of national vigour and enterprise, is only to, be found where wholesome principles of legislation have been adopted, where licentiousness has been restrained, without liberty being impaired ; and, on the other hand, when on the corruption of public opinion, despotism or democracy have reared an unholy edifice, the pillars have mouldered away, and precipitated into ruin the inmates of the building." Again :—" The ob ject of every Government should be the general good of the people. Every rank, then, being concerned, and equally so, in having their interests attended to, should have a controul on the operations of the governing body —mutual controul being the essence of permanence among the parts of a system." Such are the lessons which PINNOCK and TAYLOR would have inculcated. What a pity it is that such a system of education has not been steadily and universally pursued ever since the signing of Magna Charta TIIE CONSTABULARY. — There will be a clause in Lord Level= Gower's new Police Bill, to move the Constabulary from countyr to county, like the military, at stated periods, and also the &ipeodiary Magistrates. Soon after the Rev. Alexander Fletcher had com menced his sermon on Sunday evening, a Lady, from the excessive beat of the Chapel, having fainted, a Gentleman, in order to re store her, incautiously lighted a piece of paper in the body of the Chapel, but the blase having caught his fingers, he dropped the paper. From this circumstance an alarm of fire was immediately raised, which created such disorder among the congregation, that a simultaneous rush to effect an escape took place at every qukrter of the Chapel. In vain did the Reverend Gentleman encourage them by his solicitations to remain undisturbed. The actor of confusion was indescribable. We are happy, however, to say, that no acci dent occurred. Two engines arrived in consequence of the alarm, and the Rev. Gentleman could no longer continue his discourse. ECCLESIASTICAL PENANCE, OR, THE CUTTIE STOOL" AT Caressewsz.t..—Sunday the New Church at Camber well was crowded to excess, in consequence of its baying been nod led that a male parishioner was to do penance according to the Ecclesiastical law, for having called a respectable married woman " out of her proper name"—that is, bestowing on her a certain ap pelted's°. The officiating Clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Vane, after be had concluded his sermon, descended from the pulpit and ap proached the Vestry. The pressure of the crowd to obtain a sight of the proceedings in the Vestry, where it was then understood the recantation was to be made, led to great noise and confusion, and a scene was esbibited very unbecoming the sacred character of the building. At length the party offending made his appearance, at tired in a white covering. He was attended by four friends on either side, end while the Rev. bit. Vane read the form of recanta tion laid down by the Ecciesiarical law, be bowed in affirmation of the several points in it, and the ceremony terminated. The party then left the Vestry room by the small door, to the manifest diseppokuntent of several hundred persons who were assembled outside the Church. • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.

On Wednesday last there was a field of about SOO, to see the Cheshire Hounds throw off at Duddon Heath. The Duke of Sussex and other visitors at Eaton Hall were present. Saighton gorse was Ant drawn, where Reynard broke cover ; the dogs were, how ever, drawn off. At Cotton two foxes broke cover, and there was a brilliant burst, bat the hounds came to a cheek at Tanks, io coasequence of the snot lying so bad. The hounds get on the scent again close behind Tanta, and after repeated checks paned Pees Hall, through Manley to Alvanley Hall, where the duce was given up. STEEPLE CHASE. Saturday. the long-talked-of steeple chase took place for fifty guineas a-side, between two gentlemen, one residing at Kenning ton, the other at Walwonh—both gents well known on the Royal Exchange. The parties started froniCroyflon, to go to Wimbleton, a distance of about seven miles; but strange as it may appear, and each taking a different route, they arrived at the same instant at Wimbleton. Tbey were both very much fatigued in of having been obliged to take many tremendous leaps; and withstanding they made the best speed they possibly could, they did not perform the task but within a few minutes of an hour. The riders were a great deal more fatigued than their horses. MURDER. Front the Portsmouth Herald. EMSWORTII, DEC. 10.—A Coroner's Inquest was held on Friday, before C. B. Longcroft, Esq. Coroner, at the Black Dog Inn, in this place, on the body of Mr. John Sims, in the 91st year of his age, who was found murdered in his bed, at Long Copse, about a mile from Eouworth, on the morning of Thursday. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased had been unwell for some time, and that his housekeeper, an old woman, named Matthews, had sat up on Wednesday night (according to her own account) to administer his medicines. About two o'clock on Thursday morning, she had occasion to go out, and on opening the door, a man rushed in, and pinned her in a corner, where he detained her while two others entered, (one having his face co. vend with black,) and proceeded immediately upstairs. Shortly after this, she heard her muter cry murder three times, but she was prevented giving the alarm, by the man who kept guard over her. The two men then came down stairs, and took from a cup board, a silver cream cup, sugar tangs, seven tea spoons, and one table spoon ; they then took from the pantry, some beef, pork, bread, and cheese, and some wine, with which they regaled them selves. They also broke open a chest close to the bed where the old man slept, with a chisel ; and took from it money, amounting it is supposed, to somewhere about twenty pounds. During the time the housekeeper was in custody, she said, she hoped they would not hurt the poor old man, when she was desired to remain quiet, or it would be the worse for her. The party having been in the house nearly an hour, they prepared to depart, telling the house keeper that if she ventured to leave the premises, for half-an-hour after they had left, they would do for her; having rifled the old woman's pockets of all her money they then went away. A abort time after, one of the men returned, and went up stairs again, to ascertain, it Is supposed, if the old man was really dead ; be merely remained a minute or two, and went away. At about four o'clock, the housekeeper went to a neighbouring cottage about 40 yards distant, when a labouring man of the name of Cooper resided, with his wife and family, none of whom had beard any noise or disturbance whatever, and gave the alarm—Cooper then went im mediately to the house of William Sims, son to the deceased, who lived at about 500 yards distance, and the parties proceeded to- gether to Long Calm, where they discovered the old man lying in bed, perfectly dead and nearly cold. There were no marks of violence discernable on any part of the body. From the evidence of Mr. James Hicks and Mr. Spong, the two medical gentlemen who opened the body, it appeared that the deceased came to his death by suffocation. The Jury accordingly returned a Verdict of WilfulAurder against some person or persons unknown." Four men who attended the Inquest, were apprehended on suspicion, but were discharged by the Coroner, no evidence appearing against them ; they were however Immediately detained by order of Sir Theophilus Lee and Capt. Lecke, two Magistrates who attended the Inquest. The prisoners have since undergone a private ex amination before these two gentlemen ; the particulars of which hive cwt transpired. Saturday, 7 o'Clock.—We have just learned, that Thomas Kelsey and William Farr, have been committed on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder, for further examination till next Thursday, at Havant. There is a third party supposed to be implicated in the horrid transaction, but whose name we did not bear. An application has been made by the Magis trates, before whom the examinations were taken, for a free pardon to any one, except the actual perpetrator of the morder.who shall give such information as shall lead to the conviction of the parties concerned. Several persons hairs been apprehended upon suspicion, but all, except the two above, have been discharged. Now that the buildings adjoining St. Martin's Church are removed, that edifice, when viewed from about the centre of Pall-mall East, presents one of the noblest specimens of architecture of the last age, and from which our modern Palladiot might take a useful lesson. They have as yet created nothing like it. LOVE AND GitAMMAR.The following is a literal copy of a love epistle from a kitchen Sappho to a Peon of the Calgage order f as it is rather a singular document, the public may be amused by it :—" My dear t roe this day from a bad of sorrow to writ to Tow i nivr tuk a pan in my hand In such a *tit bifor tbi tits file and blinds mi whin i think on yow my dear 1 can not explin the sift that i am In i pray yow nit mi this day any plies yow pile and i wil cons i hay luked long for yow my dear be shur and con for i am in dieters of it wir to say you i wud pit the bars of my head undir your fit belly ml my dear hart for thus Is from a true i refute yore my luv sofin your hart to mi SUSAN Hewn" The meeting of the inhabitants of Huddersfield and its neighbourhood held yesterday was full of distressing interest. We have long thought and said that the suffering of the labouring class in that neighbourhood was extreme, but the case made out yester day was stronger even than we bad imagined. The immediate cause of the evil is low wages, aggravated in many cases by a defi ciency of work; and the era of the reduction of wages, though ft was not mentioned at the meeting, is dated from the pertain, le- Neal distress in 1826, when stout able-bodied men were employed as the public highways st the rate of Sc. per week in breaking stones. This employment not suiting the habits, nor, indeed, the constitu thous of the weavers, they were glad to accept employment in their own business even at this extremely depressed rate of wages, and the consequence has been that from that time to this they have never been able to obtain any material advance. This chine produced no lasting benefit to the masters, who soon sold their goods at a price corresponding with the wages paid to theft men, and, in many eases, even without any profit whatever. Under these circumstances, both masters and men-deprecate, with equal detestation, the system of low wages and low profits. These evils the meeting with great justice attributed to exorbitant taxa tion, and unduly high rents, which the change in the currency from gold to paper, in 1794, tended meek to produce, and which the recent change Irons .paper to gold, without a corresponding change in the rent and taxes, failed to remedy, and indeed greatly aggravated. The cause of the present unexampled distress, as thus stated, suggests the remedy, but bow far the people of the country have the spirit to demand, and the Government of the country , the courage and virtue to apply, the remedy, remains to be deter mined. his only candid to say that we believe than ism per. don of the West-Riding of Yorkshire labouring under se nom an extremity of distress as that with which Upper Agbrigg„ is whirl Huddersfield ft situated. his long been visited, but ft Is immito bent upon every part of the country. to contribute as me* se line In their power to the removal of those evih which may sees reach themselves, and in which too many of them do already psrddpess. We are gratified to find that there was not a single meeker in the meeting so far deluded as to attribute any part of the movies distress to what is called the system of free trade.--Leeds Manage. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLLOR'S COURT, Mo. 14. Mr. Cooing obtained a writ of habeas wpm. cum cause to bring up the body of Elisabeth Parkinson from the Fleet Prison, in or. der that she might put in ber answer to a bill of foreclosure filed against her. It will be recollected that this female was brought up a few days dace for the same purpose, when it was stated that an answer had been prepared for her by her consent ; but to the sur prise of the parties, she denied all knowledge of Mr. Orchard, the Solicitor who had been employed In the case, and refused to sign the answer. Mr. Cooper said be could now explain this appa rently extraordinary circumstance. Mr. Orchard was only the Agent of Mr. Conway, and therefore Mrs. Parkinson was unac quainted with him ; but it was sworn that the answer was prepared by Mr. Conway, and drawn up by Counsel gratuitously, and with her consent and approbation, although she afterwards refused to sign it. The Learned Gentleman remit ked, that as long as the practice of the Court continued as it was, parties were obliged to take the same course to enforce their sights, however harsh they might seem. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, In giving assent to the appli cation, said that the difficulty which before weighed upon his mind, that respecting the Solicitor was now removed. It was Intended the next Seftion of Parliament to alter the practice of the Court with respect to commitments for contempt, and therefore it was to be hoped that the subject of complaint would be removed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dec. 14. BOLL V. roneson. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an injury the plaintiff had received from an assault committed on him by the defendant. The defendant's cue was opened first. The defence was, that the plaintiff had used insulting and unprovoked language towards the defendant, in his own house, and that be was coodnually drunk. On the part of the plaintiff, a sawyer proved that on the ath of May last, he went into the defendants house, and while standing there, a person of the name of Soatman came into the passage in which be and the plaintiff were. Defendant said, " What are you going to stand ?" or, "What are you going to give us to drink ?" or, " Will you not stand something to drink?"—the plaintiff not making any answer. the defendant said, " Come then you must go out of my house •"—witness then took a pint of porter which be bad ordered. and went into the tap-room. and sat down in such a position as to enable him to look up the passage into the street—he then saw the defendant come round his beer engine, out of the bar, and lay hold of the plaintiff by the arm and put him out of the house--be then saw the plaintiff tarn round, as If to speak to the defendant, when the latter put his two bands on his breast and pushed himalown. The p ntiff's daughter and servant proved that they had seen Z le the assa t committed, and that the plaintiff was confined to his bed for days—that he did not quit his roans fora month.-that he had not been able to leave the house for two months--tkat he was not in a state to do any work for upwards of three months. and that he could not perform his usual labours without the greatest difficulty The plaintiff was about 60 years of age, and the de fendant 40. The Surgeon proved that he had attended the plaintiff for several weeks, and that be wits a severe sufferer from the fall, which caused a cont usion: of the muscles in the region of the hip—his charge was upwards of £9. Mr. Justice Pam said, that it would be for the Jury to say whether the evidence produced was such as to entitle the plaintiff to a verdict. The pleadings in this cause varied from those usually drawn in similar cases. The defendant had set out a justification on two pleas ; first, that the conduct of the defendant was such as to justify him in .turning out the plaintiff ; and, secondly, that the abuse and threats of the plalitiff were such, as to warrant the ex ercise of a greater degree of force than was usual in suck cases. It would be for the Jury to say whether, upon the evidence, these pleas were supported?—The Jury found for the defendant. sangassom V. Honasoss. This was an action for compensation in damages for an assault and false imprisonment. The plaintiff is at present in the service of a gentleman, an actor. ney,to whom he served his articles, and in the course of the esecu don of the duties of his profession, had to serve the copy of • writ upon the defendant, who is a clerk in the Somerset house. The plaintiff had made many fruitless attempts to serve this process, but at length, on the 1 ltls of May, in the present year, a few minutes before four o'clock, he saw the defendant in . . Catherine-street, in the Strand, when be tendered bun the process enclosed in a letter, directed to him. The defendant, however, refused to take it, and ran into the Court Journal office, followed by the plaintiff, who again offered the letter, and was a second time refused. Upon this the plaintiff opened the de fendant's coat and put the letter In his breast. The defendant im mediately resent, and returned instantly with an officer, whose he desired to take the plaintiff into custody, "as he had committed a gross assault upon him" (defendant.) The officer, on hearing the cause of complaint, refused to take the plaintiff. The defendant, however, insisted, as which the officer said that if an assault bad been committed, the defendant had better go to a Magistrate for a warrant. The defendant, nevertheless, became so argent in his commands, that the officer, a mob of persons having been collected by the disturbance round the shop, said he would take the plsintiff, but as it was a case which he was not au. thorised In by law, the defendant must stand the consequences. This defendant immediately promised. Accordingly, the plaintiff was taken to Bow-street, but as the Magistrates were not then sitting (four o'clock in the afterneon), he was kept there by the officer until half past seven in the evening. The circumstances having been then stated to Sir IL Runic, be at once ordered the plaintiff to be discharged. The action was therefore brought to obtain at the hands of the jury compensation for the assault , for the false imprisonment, and for this attack on his professional cha racter. The jury found for the plaintiff, damages £5. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. The Commission issued from the High Court of Chancery, to ascertain the sanity or insanity of Mr. Edward Davis an extensive tea-dealer, in Philpot-lase, City, was yesterday morning opened at the Gray's lon Coffee-housed—The cue, is a detailed shape, has been already before the public. It may be remembered, that when the business was brought be fore the Lotus Ciancstsos, be observed that no other alternative was left to blm. owing to the opposition of the alleged lunatic's mother, than to direct the issuing of the Commission to set the question at rest. It was accordingly issued on the prayer of Mrs. Davis. who retained for Counsel Sir Charles Wetherell and Mr. Wright; and on the other side appeared Mears. Brougham. Bro. drick, Adolphus. and Short. The Cummlssinners were Messrs. PldUlmore, Wellitt, and Whitmarsh. After the examination of a few witnesses the Court was ad journed to this day. WINTER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, Die 14. Thu afternoon the Commission was opened by Mr. Baron Bots.aso. - _ - The Grand Jury will not be sworn until to-morrow morning when the business of the Anises commence. _ . The Calendar contains the names of 113 prisoners, of whom 18 are for trial at the Quarter Sessions. The offences with which they are charged are principally burglaries, and stealing In dwilling-boases—alma which have increased to an alarming extent of late in this county. In one of the cases, a prisoner is charged with stealing from the dwelling-house of Daniel Redding. at Deptford, the body of • man of colour • he is also indicted for stealing a shirt, late the property of the deleased man. There fs a charge of arson, with intent to defraud the proprieton and share holders of the Phenix Fire Insurance Company. Four prisoners are charged with robberies on the highway; one with tittering a forged fiveiround note, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Dank of England. Four sol diers ase charged with stealing stores from Chatham Dock Yards. There are also indictments agains seven prisoners for sheep and horse stealing. which species of crime teems to have received no check, notwithstanding the many examples which have of late been made of prisoners convicted of similar asserts. From the heaviness of the calendar and the importance of some of the trials. it is expected that the Learned Judges will not close their labours until late on Friday. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of Mr William Smith, aged 64. The deceased had formerly been an attorney, bet bad retired, U years since, into the country, with a forum of 440 6 000. He subsequently engaged in a sta►ch manu factory, and other speculations, and failed. He then returned to London, and lost £6OO in some mining speculations. Since which be was eumpad in an attorney's Ace, and practised a little (or himself. By died suddenly at Sunday night of apoplexy. Verdict, " Died by phut visitation of Goa." last night, about half-past eleven o'clock, a Waterman picked up the body of s female, apparently about 60 years of age. of emaciated appearance, on the shore of the City aide of Black friars-bridge. It was parked in a basket, one leg was hanging out, but the body was without a vestige of clothing. There was a, dreadful bruise on the head, from which blood was Sowing ; and the tootall of the left font was solsslog. as if torn WE Her hair was quite grey. The body was hawed in a basket called a Sat, which appears to be quite new. The body was conveyed to the watch-touts of St. Ann's, Illackfriars. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. DISTRIESUPG Case.—Last evening, a man about fifty years o age, named Gregory, of very respectable appearance, was brought before the Magistrate, charged by Skinner, one of the Inspectors of Hawkers and Pedlars Licenses, with hawking books without a license. The prisoner was brought before the Bench handcuffed, and his agitation was so great as to excite the attention of all who saw him. Skinner stated that he saw the prisoner yesterday afternoon, with parcels of books under his arm, can at several houses in Oxford street, and offer them for sale. The books consisted chiefly of pamphlets published by Mr. Virtue, of Ivyiane, Newgate Marker. The prisoner made great resistance, and after he was taken to the watch-house, he attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself with a handkerchief to the iron bars of the window of the cell in which he was confined. The prisoner in his defence said he was merely going from house to house to solicit orders for Mr. Virtue, and not for the purpose of vending the publications which he with him, and which he merely had to show as specimens. He implored the mercy of the worthy Magistrate, and said that be had fined a highly respectable situation in society, but had been compelled by circumstances to adopt this calling. He had been married U years ; his wife was then lying ill at home, mid it was for her sake that he had com menced his present occupation. The Magistrate said that however he might lament the unfor tunate situation of the prisoner, he must take the evidence of the informer Skinner, and it was his painful duty to convict him in the penalty of 110. The prisoner was then ordered to pay 110, and in default was committed to the House of Correction. He left the Office weeping bitterly, and calling out, “ 0, my wife! my poor wife—what will become of her!" He was conveyed to prison. MARLBOROUGH-STRRET.

Roe, Esq. charged with stealing valuable looking-glass, the property of his late employer. It ap peared that a few days sines the prisoner concealed the looking glass in some bed furniture. and desired soother of Mr. Cox's porters to carry It to Mrs. Childers. in Great Puitenerstreet. who received it ; after which it is supposed to have been pledged by the prisoner at a pawnbroker's in the Westminster-road. the ticket having been found on the prisoner when taken into custody by Ballad. - -The cue was net gone into, and the prisoner was re manded until Thursday.
