'Thf summit of the Andes, the highest penk of Mount flimalaya, l are exceedingly poetical stations to him who discerns thtlr [epee live comparative altitudes in the prettily coloured pictures which see to be sees in the wintlowc of the stationers shops. There is some thing very sublime in the thought of being i Ninety.nint• times as high as St. Paul's. The imagination of climbing up a glorious ascent snits well aspiring ambition of mortals, but the reality does not quite so won suit their knees, toes, and lungs, and there are not twenty mess in the great metropolis who would not willingly exchange the summit of the Andes and all its sublimity to boot for a snug corner In Dolly's chop-house, where one may be quite as poetical as at the top of a mountain, and where one may see a great deal more of the world. If from one of these regions of sublimity a man could really Look from its throne of clouds o'er half the world, and could see what he looked at, it would be a fine sight. But the worst of the matter is, that there is Nothing to be seen but elOutls, and nothing to be felt but cold weather ; the rest is all imagination. Or if the mingled sounds of human voices came buzzing up to the mountain top, there might be a sublimity in the multitudinous noise : but there is nothing to be heard but the wind, and that may be heard as well in St. Paul's-churchyard. For a scene of real interest take Waterloo Bridge. There is some. thing to be heard, something to be seen, and something to be thought of There is an eye-full, an ear-full, and a heatt-full. Blessings on the tollgates, they make it a glorious solitude—a solitude that may be felt. It is not a res in urbe, it is worth fifty rus iw lobes. It is a fine architectural solitude, infinitely superior to a brown grass plot surrounded by dusty lilac+. Here one may know by contrast what solitude really is. You arc altogether out of the world, but you are not under the necessity of forming an imaginary world fm yourself ; you have one before you and around you. On Waterloo Bridge you are lilted up above the world in a kind of granite balloon, and have no fear of breaking your neck. It is most pleasant to listen to that monotonous murmur of mingled sounds, which, composed of ten thousand changing elements, yet continues the same. Waterloo Bridge is the centre of the world. All the lines of human interest there meet together. Look to the East and there is the world of business; loot to the West and there is the world of fashion and of pleasure. Look to the East and the mind's-eye may sail down the widening river and bold converse with the mighty ocean, and with distend lands; look to the West and the imagination may trace the meandering. of the river amidst rural scenery and the bosom ahem:it. Look to the north bank of the river and there is an old would: look to the south bank and there is a new world. Listen, and you will hear inimitable music—and is not the sound of a great city an in imitable sound ? Hail, rain, and thunder may be imitated, and are imitated at Drury-lane, Covent-garden, Sadler's Wells, and many other places. Alen have imitated the crowing of cocks, the singing of Canary-birds, the squeaking of pigs, the lowing of cattle, and the bleating of sheep; but no one has yet invented any machine whereby the multitudinous sounds of a great city may be imitated. And what an interest Is there in the music ! There is an interest of feeling, and there is an interest of science. Weber or Mozart might l have caught, not inspiration indeed, but an impulse to inapiratiou • from the roaring melody and the rolling harmony. For what in music in its purest and fullest meaning but an echo of the sounds of humanity, a modulated transcript of the expressed emotions of the species ? And what is the teat of muaie's verity but the heart's and ear's appeal to nature ? The multitudinous murmur of a great city I. a sublime national chorus, including every variety of vocal and instru-, mental sound. The everlasting rumbling of carriage wheels forms fine running bass. The mingled voices of the busy ones are an ex cellent tenor • and above, in the shrillness of a treble, may be heard the high-raised voices of itinerant or ambulatory metebants. IC would answer well, in point of effect, if an artist could arrange,. fora winter pantomime at one of our great theatres, a lively and :sew curate semblance of the sound of a great city. And there is such a deep and heart-stirring interest in the music. There is something' serious in it. Bees that work havd not much time to listen to music, and drones that do not work have not much sympathy with the sounds of labour and toil ; but if we could conceive of a busy bee being sufficiently at leisure to attend to such a sound, what could be sweeter music to its ear than the murmuring of its own hive ? On Waterloo Bridge one sets nothing to connect it with the name which It bears. There is no warlike emblem or triumphal arch, there is no military decoration, it is altogether a civil structure, a great granite accommodation to the visitants of the Coburg Theatre s and if the bridge and the theatre should change names, it would be a matter of no importance, for the bridge is as Coburgish as the theatre, and the theatre is as Waterlooish as the bridge. In short, on Waterloo bridge one thinks of anything and everything but Wes terloo. The name of Waterloo seems most appropriately to belong to the cheap linen-drapers' shops, they are quite as Waterloo-Biters the bridge.—Sunday paper. CHESTER SUMMER CIRCUIT. The Hon. Tilos.

This was an indictment against the defendant for not repairing a bridge over the Coine, on the road from London to Windsor. The case for the prosecution was, that the defendant was bound to re. pair, in consequence of his occupation of a farm called Ifoibeon's Farm, near the bridge.—Guilty. MACARTNEY V. PARKE AND OTHERI. This was an action on a guarantee. The plaintiff represented the Commercial Banking Company of Scotland, and the defendants were Manchester-warehousemen. _ The defendants gave the bankers a guarantee against any loss which they might sustain by their subsequent transactions In the way of business with a Mr. William Union, a manufacturer at Paisley. The bankers did sustain a loss, and brought their action. The defence was-Ist, That the guarantee did not extend to a certain bill of exchange held by the plaintiff's, with Ivesem's native unon it, but which was accepted by a person of the name of Alex. ander, on whose credit it was to be supposed the plaintiff took it. Idly. That the guarantee was had under the Statute of Frauds, as being without consideration. idly, which was the main point, the guarantee was signed only by one of the partners in the defendants' house ; and it had been decided by a case in 3 Camp. 473, that these guarantees not being in the ordinary course of commercial transactions, the signature of one partner did not bind the others, unless they authorised the signature. and that authority must be proved. Lord TENTIRDEX bad no difficulty as to the two first points; and as to the last, he was of opinion that the signature of one partner to a guarantee did not bind the others, without proof their authority given. He would, therefore, nonsuit the plaintiff', with leave to move the Court to set the nonsuit aside, and then the other points might be discussed if the parties tho ught proper...-1 Plaintiff nonsuited accordingly. woos V. WOOD. This action was brought to recover compensation for a loss sustained by the plaintiff, owing to a misremescntation made to him by the defendant. The plaintiff is a wine and brandy merchant, and employed the defendant to travel and collect orders ; the defendant represented that he had got in order from Berrington, an innkeeper at Hanley, in Staffordshire, for a quarter of a pipe of port, value 221. and the wins was sent - but Berrington not paying, the Plaintiff, at the Defendant's instig ation, brought an action, at the trial of which evidence was produced by Berrington that he had given no order for the wine,but only allowed it to remain tot some time at his house, till the Defendant could dispose of it. The verdict was for Berrington;abd the Plaintiffhad to pay 801. costs, for which this action was brought. Barrington was called, and stated that he had given no order for the wine, which was only kept at his house for some time, till it could be disposed of in the neighbourhood. Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages Eighty Pounds. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,Jutv 10. • D . AII/11IDA V. LADIDELS.

Mr. D'Aranda then took the lend% and proteftting his innocence of the charges contained in them, sail he Would take every step to sift the matter to the bottom. He ha* not itinie been at the house, and the marriage bad been given up„.at hest till this trial was concluded. Inquiries were then made. and It was found that the writing in the letters was that of Mr. lAn dels. Several witnesses would be called to pro* this, and it would be proved that the paper on which one libel wu written wee the sante as that kept by the defendant. He called on the jury to think of the injury the plaintiff had sustained, and to give great damages, as the injury was undoubtedly great. One peculiarity in the lett was that the name of Miss Nott was In both spelt wrong, a IC Whig prefixed. This would show that Abey had been written by the same Abe Some of the witnesses called expressed their belief that the lettere [alluded to were in the hand-writing of the defendant. Mrs. Jane Williams said that she went, at Mr. D'Araoda's re. quest, to Mr. Landslip' shop, and asked foe a sheet of paper for a neighbour; Mrs. models pre me one from the desk in the par. lour • this is it. . Cross.rxamined—The neighbour whose name I menticesedwanted no paper; I have heard this ;Asir talked of in Pentonville. Mr. Nett was recalled, to prose that the paper on which the let. ter was written to Miss Not; and the blank sheet obtained by the last witness, were of the same make. Mr. Nelson, an Inspector of warrants of attorney at the King's Bench, said that he had been in the habit of making himself as. quaintest with feigned and natural hand w ri ting . It was his opl. elan that the two letters were written Ina feigned handwriting. Mr. Sergeant MIDDY addressed the jury for the defendant, and said that the defendant had nothing to do with the libels. He had never written them, and he was at a loss to imagine what 'node, could be ascribed to him for committing such a base act. He was not a rival suitor; he had never seen the young lady, and was a mar. ried man. The evidence as to the hand-writing was not at all strong, and he should bring witnesses to prove that the letters wets not in the hand-writing of the defendant, or like his. Mr. John Holmes, a Surveyor, from the Royal Engineer depart. men; said he was certain they were not in his handwriting, and he believed them to be an attempted imitation. Cross-examined—l should think Mr. Landels could not, horn his general way of writing, write in this manner. The defendant's attorney on his solemn oath believed the hand writing was not Mr. Leach' ; it was at first sight similar, but on a short inspection did not bear the character of Mr. Linde's' hand. writing. The other witnesses gave similar evidence. The Curer JIIITICZ summed up, and left it for the Jury to say, on the evidence, whether the letters were written by the defend. ant; if they were, they would give their verdict for the plaintiff; and such reasonable damages as would compensate him for the in. jury and vexation he had exper t d. he jury retired for four E C l:ali then brought in a verdict for the defendant. The two most striking paragraphs in the letters, were to the fol. lowing effect :—That the Plaintiff was one of the most despicable beings of the human race ; one whose whole soul is deceit, and whose only object is money.—He is everything that is base, sordid, 'and fiendish, and is now in a state of insolvency. BOARD OF EXCISE, JULY 10. SNUGGLING Tea.—A Portuguese gentleman, named Memos! Joao de Mode, an officer in the 'orrice of the Emperor of Bend. was summoned to answer to an information, charging him with smuggling 171 be. of tea, by which he incurred a penalty of 1001. besides the forfeiture of the tea. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Joseph Taylor, a Surveyor of the Customs, and two of the Customhouse officers, that on the 3d of June, on the arrival of the Mary, from Ostend, tithe Tower, they went on board. The defendant wee a passenpr. They asked him if he had any thing concealed, and be replied in the negative; However, having reason to suspect something, Mr. Taylor seirched him, and found eight belts concealed about his body, full of tea. They also found on him 31 letters, addressed to various persons. The letters were sent to the Oeneral Poot.officr, and the tea to the I Excise. The defendant was convicted in the full penalty of 1001. l and the tea was declared to be forfeited. ROBBERY AT BART/IOIOMM HOSPITAL. Yesterday evening John Nails and John ilurley stood In. dieted for breaking and entering Bartholomew Hospital, sad stealing a hag, two Al. notes, five sovereigns, and other moseys, being the property of the Lord Mayor and corporation of the city of London.—The particulars we gave at the time. The witness for the prosecution, Shearing. In his cross-examination, admitted that he had been in custody five times within the last five years, and once at Westminster for twelve months for exhumation. During the last five years he had gained his living by supplying the faculty with subjects. The Jury found both the prisoners guilty. Mr. ADOLPHUS, on behalf of the governors of the hospital, re commended the prisoner to mercy. Joseph Roycr, aged 74, was convicted of stealing the carcase of a lamb, from the shop of Mr. C. Monekton, a butcher. Mr. Sergeant AnAllll observed that, for many years past, the prisoner had made his appearance at the bar almost every Sessions, and if he were discharged to-morrow he would return to his old practices. He then sentenced him to be imprisoned two years in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour. Henry Tallow Risphau was indicted for forging the stamp of the Goldsmiths' Hall Company, and affixing the same to a certain spoon ; is other counts he was charged with having such forged stamp In his possessiost, with a felonious Intent, &c. Tbe prisoner protested his Innocence, and called witnesses who contradicted ge. nosily the evidence given by Neale. —Verdict—Nog Guilty. John Riddle and John Lucas were indicted for stealing, in the dwelling-house of the Earl of Roseberry, a time.peace, and other ar. ticks, value M. his property, and Thomas Laliesore, alias West wood, was indicted for receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. At at early hour in the morning of the let of June, two persona rung the bell at the prosecutor's house ; the porter got out of bed and inquired their business, when they told him that they had been sent by Mr. Anderson, their master, to sweep a chimney. The . ter believing their stay, let them in, and again retired to rest. Yfet went, as he supposed, to sweep the chimney, the situation of if they described to him, and from the circumstance of Mr. Anions being generally employed to sweep the chimneys of his Lordshipss house, no suspicion was excited. The prisoners returned to the hall in about half an hour, and the porter let them out ; one of them carried a bag, which the porter supposed contained soot. They told him they had swept the chimney. Mr. Justice J. PAILE summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Riddle, and acquitted Lucas and Westwood. William Argus, aged 52, was indicted for stealing twelve watches, value 1181. the property of Lewitt Isaacs. The prosecutor said, I reside at No. 23, Houndsditeh ; I am a watchmaker, and the prisoner was my own traveller I allowed him three pounds per cent. commission, but strictly enjoined him never to make any sales without first communicating with me. I also desired him to give no credit, but always immediately to hand over all monies he might receive to me. Tote prisoner received the watches in ques tion in December last, and his not returning according to prom my suspicions were excited, and I caused him to be apprehended February last, at Farmer's town; and, when he was examined at Hatton-garden Poliorolllce, he refused to give any account of the watches. Mr. Sergeant Alums, in charging the Jury, said that this in. dietment could not be supported, as the prisoner was an agent, and consequently entrusted with the property to dispose of. Verdict— Not Guilty. 4(fred Jones, aged 17, was indicted for stealing a watch, a gold ring, a pair of ear-rings, and 281. in money, the property of Mar. tha Hayward. Mr. Sogautt AZAPIW summed up, and the Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. It appeared that though the prisoner was young in years, yet he was an adept in crime. The Court sentenced him to be for seven trimported .4 years. MIDDLESEX SESSI N S—Saturday. 4 1 0 . Michael Kennedy, the man who has recently cut a figure at Bow-street office, under the assumed rank of %tajor. was charged ea two separate indictments with defrauding Mary Royal and John Sayer, by falsely pretending to be on terms of correspondence with the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel, and that be was about to receive from the former an order upon Co: and Green. wood for WM. 10s. • Mary Royal deposed, that she kept a general shop, and that the prisoner was introduced to her by Mr. Sayer, who undertook to be answerable for such necessaries as she might supply to him during a limited period. She, in consequence, furnished him with such articles as he required. In his visits to her shop, he produced various letters which he said he had received from the Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel, and told het that he w' to have an appointment in the police. Oa one occas i on h e [ a id he had to meet the Duke of Wellington at the House of lands. sad that he wanted money to pay fees and expenses,, end that If she would advance it, be would repay her out of the motleys for which the Duke was to give him an order on Messrs: Res and Greenwood.

His acme was not an uncesnamo one, but it was attended with some very unusual eircumatences. Mr. Jean Vaillancourt, a Preach gentleman, who formerly be. longed to the orchestra at the King's Theatre, stated in a seer of half.and.helf English, that be had a Tay seven thirst Spon him in the neighbourhood of naliargate, on the preceding evening, and west into a public-hosse fat a glass of cot yen cell shlaand. vawtay.—(A laugh.)

(Excessive laughter.) From the remainder of Mr. Vaillancourt's statement it appeared that the moment the landlord turned his back, Mr. Peggs spoke in very contemptuous terms of him and of his trade, and said that pub licans were very fond of drinking their own liquor at other people's expense. He also spoke of the Beer Bill, and ether matters, and convinced the Frenchman, not only that the P taro= drank the gin and water, but that the person lobo addressed him was a perfect, gentleman. Mr. Peggs then rose indignantly And said, that he should no longer contribute to support such a fellow athis " witchular," and undeeoolt to be Mr. Vaillancourt's_guide to a house where there was more honesty to be expected. T ie French. man, however, did not find Isis cooditan much improved by the change, for Mr. Pe w foamed himself to him, and continued to dispose of more than tenr.BfiM of the glees which he or. dered in.

CHARITABLE WI/ll.—The Monthly Magazine in a bythophobialak fit of horror, exclaims, that every shop in every lane" las its mongrel, every house in the suburbs its nuisance of the same kW. "We only wish that every owner of one of those animals Might have a snap from his own cur." This is a most pious wish, and as admirable receipt for stopping the progress of hydrophobia. Let us all be bitten, and then we shall not hurt each other. Let us make a general suicidal party, and invite the maddest dog that the Moog* can discover in the slaps in the lanes, to run a-muck amongst us. This is by far the shortest way. The phobia that haunts the public mind is the worst of all pboMm. Let the Monthly be mauled, or the dlseaie will spread.

At Windsor, every day since the preparations for the Royal funeral commenced, a lady in deep mourning, closely veiled, and carrying a white parasol, surmounted by a large bunch of black crape, fastened with a rosette of crimson Abend, has made her way through the crowd of busy workmen in the lower ward of the Castle, to the portcullis gateway at the foot of the keep ; and there falling upon her knees, and plating her hands together in the attitude of prayer, she bows her head upon them, ant so retnains—sometimes 'for more than half an hour, unmoved by the clatter and confusion around her. At first, this singular proceeding attracted the general attention of the labourers and loiterers s and the green-coated warder it the gate endeavoured to prevail upon her to seek a less public el tuation for her devotions, but she would not be diverted from her purpose, and she now continues it unheeded by any body. Her ge neral bearing is lady-like; her attire shabby genteel, and rather antiquated. No one knows her. WAGGERY OF LORD ELDON.—The grave Earl of Eldon, who seldom suffered his features to relax into a smile when in Lincoln's Inn-Hall, or on the woolsack, has suddenly become facetious, though the occasion selected for his jocularity appears somewhat inopportune, and, as some think, indelicate. In the de. bate en the Address to the King, lie answer to his Majesty's Mes sage, the noble and learned lewd argued for the appointment of • regency, to guard against the difficulty which would arise on the possible demise of the crown, and the remote probability of an em bryo-succenor. His lordship treated the question by hypothesis, like a subtle and cunning logician. He supposed that another Guy Fawkes had succeeded in blowing up the whole House of Peers, with the exception of the noble and learned lord on the woolsack, in which melancholy dilemma, before writs were issued to the suc cessors of many of their lordships, Ms noble and learned friend would have to inquire whether their lordships' left widows, for if they had left no issue born, the inquity would be whether their wi dows were in that state which afforded a prospect of successors to their titles and estates. The noble earl then spoke of "little peers —not then visible—but who might be so in due course of time; " and contended that until all embryo doubts were removed, the right of succession would be as it were in abeyance. From these pre mises, he drew the conclusion that the house was bound to "doubt' whether the Queen might not at some future period be in "that state" which he assigned to their lordships' widows. Lord Eldon has been " doubting for half a century ; but as he has " issue born" be may set leis doubts at rest, as there is no possibility fee a " little peer" being in embryo to contest his honours.— Sunday Paper.
