LITERATURE. - FAMILY CLASSICAL LIBRARY. A. J. vsvrr. Mr. VA Lry is doing an eminent aervice—as he is wont —to every body who is desirous of acquiring knowledge. tin: I. of his" Family Classical Library," has just ap peared ; and of it, we content ourselves with saying, in the language of the Editor, that " to those who are de sirous of obtaining a knowledge of the most esteemed autliprs of Greece and Rome, but possess not the means er . the leisure for pursuing a regular course of study, the 'present work must prove a valuable acquisition." We recollect in our youthful school-days that we had to wade through books,—grammars and dictionaries exclu sive which we do not call books—before we could pos sibly arrive at the productions, the characters, the pur poses, or the effects, which the ancient orators and writers aimed et. The works of CzsAR and LIVY were . far from being our pleasure in these days. We could not enjoy the beautiful pictures of VIRGIL'S pastoral life, though we lived in the midst of such enjoyments as he pourtrayed. Even the wit and voluptuousness of Hoßace were a burden to us ; and as for the Greek authors, we had an equal abhorrence of the formation of the letters, as we had for the birch with which we were impressed with their importance. Mr. VALPY has removed these ob jections, by giving us all'the information, which it gene rally takes five or six years to drive into us, in plain English ; and as the order of the present day seems to be to acquire as mach knowledge as possible within a limited period, we are gladly willing to skip over the days of probation, and come to the point as fast as possible. It will amaze many dominies to be told that, by the instrumentality of the book before ins— tate single number—we shall become better acquainted with Demosthenes in four hours, than they could pretend to teach us in as many years. Here we have, in an elegant, tempting form—not only a biographical sketch of the great orator's life—but his orations at full length, translated by THOMAS LELAND, D.D. And thus we acquire what is most necessary for us to knew —the patriotism of the individual. His philippics, his olynthiacs, and his orations on occasions of public deli beration, are here set before us in a manner that we cannot refrain from reading; and, thanks to Mr. VALPY, we trust they will do us good. But as we intend to notice the " Family Classical Library" at greater length on an early day, we 'hall, at present, confine ourselves to ashore extract from the First Philippic, and which applies very happily to a people of modern times, who, though they may not be threatened by invasion, have their liberties to conquer, and tyrants more cruel than Philip to put down. And now, as to the necessity of a general vigor and alacrity ; of this you must be fully persuaded : this point, therefore, I shall urge no further.- But the nature of the armament, which, I think, will extricate you from the present difficulties, the numbers to be raised, the subsidies required for their support, and all the other necessaries; how they may (in my opinion) be best and most es peditiously provided ; these things I shall endeavour to explain.— Btu here I make this request, Athenians! that you would not be precipitate, but suspend your judgment till you have beard me I fully. And if, at first, I seem to propose a new kind of armament, let 4t not be thought that I am delaying your affairs ; for it is not they who cry out' instantly! this moment whose counsels suit the present juncture (as it is not possible to repel violences already committed by any occasional detachment ;) bat be who will show you, of what kind that armament must be, how great, and how supported, which may subsist until we yield to peace, or until our enemies sink beneath our assts; for thus only can we be secured from future dangers.—These things. I think, I can point out : not that i would prevent any other person from declaring his opinion. Thus far am I engaged how I can acquit myself wiU immedi ately appear : to your judgments I appeal. First. then, Athenians ! I say that you should fit out fifty ships of war; and then resolve, that on the ant emergency you will embark yourselves. To these I insist that you must add transports and other necessary vessels sufficient for half our hone. Thus far we should be provided against those sudden excursions from his own kingdom to Thermopylx, to the Chersonesus, to Olynthus, to whatever places he thinks proper. For of this he should necessarily brpersuaded, that possibly you may break out front this immode rate indolence, and fly to some wane of action ; as you did to Ru ben, and formerly, as we are told, to Hansen., and but now, to Thermopyln. But althotigh we should not act with all this vigor, (which yet I must regard as our indispensable duty,) still the mea sures I propose will have their use: as his fears may keep him quiet, when he knows we are preparad(and this he win know, for there are too many among ourselves who Inform him of every thin ;) or if he should despise our armament, his security may prove fatal to him ; as it will be absolutely in our power, at the first favour able juncture. to make a descent upon his own coasts. '‘Thaso then are the resolutions I propose, these the provisions it will , become you to make. And I pronounce it still further neces sary to ruse some other forces which may harass him with perpe tual incursions. Talk not of your ten thousands, or twenty thou sands, of foreigners; of those armies which appear so magnificent on -paper; btu let them be the natural forces of the State : and if -you *choose a single person, if a number, if this particular san t or whomever you appoint as general, let them be entirely under his guidance and authority. I also move you that subsistence be provided for them. But as to the quality, the num %hers, the maintenance of this body—how are these points to be settled now proceed to speak of each of them distinctly. The body of infantry, therefore.—but bete give me leave to warn you of an error, which bath often proved injurious to you.— Think not that_ your preparations never can be too magnificent : great and terrible in your decrees ; In execution weak and con temptible. Let your preparations, let your supplies at first be mo derate and add to these if you find them not sufficient.—l my than that the whole body of infantry should be two thousand i of these, that five hundred Would be Athenians, of such an age as yogi alkali think proper ; and with' a stated time for service, not keg, - but such as that others may have their turn of duty. Let the rust ho formed of foreigners. To these yon are to add two hundred hatar,:fifty of them at least Athenians ; to serve in the 'same litanaer as the foot. For these you are to provide transports.— And.nsow; what farther preparations?—Tei light 'allies.

STEEPLE CH A CR. Thursday selusight,astesPlechaWtOokplace near Kilmeaden, within a few miles of Waterford, for .150, between Henry Snow and James Carew, Esqrs. which excited a considerable degree of interest. The ground was very judiciously marked out by the Stewards,across a fine sporting country. The preliminaries having been arranged, the horses (Lady Clare, rode by the owner, Mr. Snow, and the other rode by Mr. Carew) started about two o'clock, going off in fine style. The course was from the hill of Dargie across Thirow,on to Laubardawn, and back again to the place of starting, making a run of four miles, two miles out and the same in. The betting, we understand, was considerable, Lady Clare the favourite at starting. Both riders bad some falls, which left the toe of the match for some time doubtful ; but, towards the close, Lady Clare took the lead, and ultimately won with ease. The Stewards were—Capt. Doyle, Morris Wall, Congreve Rogers, and Stephen Gamble, Eaqrs. Judges—Maurice Ronayns and Thomas Shepherd, &qrs. After the race, the Stewards, together with many of the Gentle. men who attended, assembled, by invitation, at the residence of Thomas Gamble, Esq. where they were received in the true style of Irish hospitality.—Wa r Clitoral& A BUCK HUNT EXTRAORDINARY. . There was a sporting hunt at Etna's, County Owe, last Tues day ; but the most extraordinary feature in the day'. amusement was towards the wind up, when the beck, hard pressed by the hounds and bones, made tight for Magellan' House, the residence of the late Bishop O'Shaughnessy, where a sumptuous repast was laid out for the members of the Hunt by the present hospitable occupier, Mr. Francis Healy. The noble animal dashed bead foremost into the very room, carrying on his wide-spreading ant lers the double window-frame ' all the panes being shivered to atoms in the leap. Tables, dishes, glasses, and decanters, were upset in glorious disorder, and in an instant all became s total wreck. The, author of this unexpected calamity was taken in a corner of the parlour crouching before his enemies, and looking With Garin's: at the destruction he had effected.—Dubl. Est. Post. LAW IN7'ALIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Dan. lit. aonosusx—nscnoun v. XIIIONT• The Vica-Csunceu.oa gave judgment in this case. It was a question respecting the proper construction of a chose in the marriage settlement of Mrs. Nicholls. In that settlement the power was reserved by the Lady to devise by will or other deed, under her hand and seal. all the real and personal property she then possessed. Some time previous to her decease she executed a will, In which she devised all her " real and personal estate, and all property whatsoever of which she died possessed, to her hus band, for his life, and subsequently to be divided among the call• dren." • It so happened that a considerable portion of this pro• perty was leasehold, and It was objected that such property could not pass under the terms of the will. The case was argued at con siderable length at the Bar, and his Honour said that the words "all property; whatever of which Idle possessed" clearly showed that the testatrix wished to convey all she had. Upon reference to the numerous cases that had been quoted, and to the invariable rule followed by this Court, His Honour was, however, bound to de clare that leasehold property could not pus under the terms of the will. The Court must, therefore, declare the heir at law to be en titled to the leasehold estates ; but all the costs to be paid out of the general estate. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dec. IS. Sittings at Westminster. before Lord TRW/San= and a Spatial Jury. CAMBIUMS TOLF.A.MILIST V. !BALMS This cause, so highly important to the inhabitants of the borough of Cambridge, again cheupied the Court. Mr. TAUNTON having been heard in reply, Lord Tzersanan commenced summing up at one o'clock.— His Lordship enumerated all the leading points of evidence with his usual clearness and precision, and left the Jury to decide whether the Corporation of Cambridge had proved a ekes and consistent right from time immemorial to demand the sped& tolls, which were the subject of this action. The grants to the Mayor and Burgesses of Cambridge in the reign of Edward I. and Edward 111. by which they had power to collect tolls for the pur pose of paving the streets. together with the subsequent re cords. were described in the true spirit and meaning of those instruments; and it was remarked that all thine grants to the Corporation were silent upon the tolls in question. One re markable document, a petition from the Corporation in the reign of Henry VIII. for aid in providing for the necessary repairs of the town, stated that they bad .f 62 to pay annually, with no other means of defraying the same than small tolls taken in the market. The Attorney-General had contended that this petition was a clear admission that the toll of 2d. upon goods coming into, and leaving the town in a cart, did not exist. It was certainly an important document for the defendants, and the Jury would have to consider whether the Corporation of Cam bridge in the act of begging for assistance, had or had not con sidered it expedient, with a view to - their own interest, to sup press the existence of the tolls? His Lordship, in short, repeated most of the observations which he expressed at the fowler trials, and concluded his charge about three o'clock. The Jury then retired, and soon after brought in a verdict for the defendant. The result was received with great joy by the toll opposing party, who have subscribed a fund for the purpose of assisting Mr. Beaks in his efforts against the Corporation. The costs at present incurred are said to amount to 1,1001, COMMISSION OF LUNACY. Yesterday morning many persons came to the Court earlier than usua', in consequence of its being understood that Mr. Davies would be brought into Court at two o'clock. The first witness examined was Mrs. Hardell—l live at 14, Portland-terrace. He was at my house from the I4th to the 19th of August last. He appeared to be considerably excited when he came to my house, and was very wild. When I first saw him he was flying about the passage from side to side, with a candle in his hand, and throwing his hands about. I accommodate lodgers at my house. He come into my private room ; he laid hold of my area, and asked it I knew who be was? lie said was the great Mr. Davies ; that be had been up to heaven, to visit GOD Autumn-, who was his father ; and that he had been born without a mother ; that he was inspired by Goo, and was a much greater man than the Duke of Wellington or Mr. Peel, and that no state affairs could be transacted without his presence, and that, in fact, he was a greater man than the King. He told me further that be was inspired by Gen, and made snuff—maker to the Moon. When I wished to tabs the candle from him be misted, and told me be was candle-barer to Jupiter. .He directed my attention to his nose, as being uncom monly handsome. He was throwing himself about the room, and putting himself into different extravagant attitudes. He was very loud and boisterous—very incoherent. He get up at five o'clock on the Saturday morning, that was the lab of Aug. he came on the 14th. On the Friday evening, after leaving my room, be asked for my protection, u he was among murderous people, and bad been very illegally and unjustly detained. I told him be need bounder no apprehension, as he was placed amongst friends to take care of him. I told him I bad strict injunctions from the gentleman who engaged the apartments to pay attention to his comfort. He repeated much of what I have already stated. —He was extremely violent at the attendant who came to him. requesting him constantly to remain in the room with him, and take hi s . meals there. Early on Saturday morning he beeemar extremely violent, ringing the bells. After breakfast be threw up the sash, and addressing abe passengers, said be blew them all, that-they were his friends. • He said of some peoplt going to work, " Look at them, they are Magistrates sod Cottstables coming to take me away; .he threatened that be would call murder, and particularly directed my attention to a deposition that be was making to lay before the Lord Chancellor. I told him be must be quiet °flint he would be taken from the window. During dinner his conduct continued the saws* as before; be said that ise.wat eating at our. spume, _and requested that every thing good might be got. Be appeared much pleased at the idea of lilting at our expense, and thereby raining us. On Sundayl saw a little of blot; he arcsto bed the greater part of the day.

Witness—l can't ay; be (Mr. Davis) said that it was very good, and that be liked• it very much, for he was hungry. On the Monday, Mr. Kohler was with •Mr. Davies, who at the time was in bed; the bell was rung. On the Tuesday four Gentlemen came in a coach • one of them was Mr. Bywater; I did net admit any out to see him, except his medical attendants, having received a letter so directing me, from one of his relatives. I felt appre hensive that Mr. Davies might be rescued from me, and I had a constable to prevent it. On the same day another Gentleman came to the door, knocked violently, and created a considerable disturb ance. Mr. Bywater bad communication with Mr. Davies through the window, telling him not to be alarmed, that they would have him yet. Mr. Davies addressed Mr. Hobler from the window, and they were in cooversadon for a considerable time • Mr. Hobler re quested Mr. Davies to come down and speak to him Mr. Davies remonstrated with me very sharply upon the restraint I imposed on him, and said I should be fined five-pence for that offence. At the request of Mr. Nobler, Mr. Davis at length came down; I met him in the passage, where I was requesting Mr. Hobler to go away. He asked me by what aothority I detained him and locked the door? I said I kept him by the authority of his mother be took hold of my arm and grasped it very tightly ; be said he had no mother—that he never bad a mother. He was then taken up stairs by his attend ant, whom he had passed in his way down stairs. I beg now to add, that on the Friday he said, you are to deny me to all who call themselves my friends, and my pass word is •• he sleeps," although I never sleep since I have been inspired by Gon. Then be laughed again most loudly. Dr. Lawrence brought him to my house. It was on the Wednesday be was taken away. Crou-examined by Mr. Baovonam—( But before the cross esantinatice commenced, the witness said she wished to add, that Mr. Davies told her that Mr. Nobler was his second attorney. a man capable of doing all his dirty work.)—ln reply to Mr. Hobler, I said that Mr. Davies was not only insane but actually mad. I did not repeat to Mr. Hobler any of the langusgsmade use of by Mr. Davies about his being the son of Gon ALIIIIIIIIT, snuffer to the moon. born without a mother, his divine inspiration Ike * Mr. Hobler did say be would rescue him ; that Mr. Davin was worth £50,000, made In five years. I swear positively 'that I was not the first to use the word "teethe." I swear that Mr. Hobler did not say, in reply to any observation, that to talk of rescue was nonsense, when I am here alone in my cab, and you with two men in the house. I cannot say that I repeated Mr. Davies's language to Dobson, the attendant • I might have re peated it to any member of my family ; I :lid repeat it to my husband and my daughter; I cannot say when. I took a note of it the day after. My daughter's name is Anne Ricketts. This paper, with A. R. is my daughter's hand-writing. Mr. Jones's clerk came to me about a fortnight ago; I told him the substance of my evidence. as given to-day ; that was the only person scon nected with Jones to whom I told this matter. Q, What is Mr. Wardle ?—I don't choose to answer the question. Mr. B.—l have no desire to press the question. Witness.—l came here to tell what 1 knew of Mr. Davies, not to give a private history of my family, and I have great reason to complain of the unhandsome manner in which Mr. Nobler men tioned the name of my daughter, mixing it with this matter, with which she had no connexion whatever. The evidence in chief of this witness was interrupted by an ap• plication of the Council against the Commission, respecting an order from the Commissioners to be addressed to Dr. Burrows, for the production of the supposed lunatic. The Doctor, who was in the room, Immediately said that he would send an order in writing to his establishment, whenever the Commissioners directed him ; in pursuance of that be sent an order on the instant. It was suggested that be might be accommodated in the nearest cedfee.bouse ; but the Chief Commissioner said. that in the boon where they then were there were very quiet apartments, where the Commissioners and the Ju'y might have access to him. Thus the curiosity which assembled such a crowd was disappointed. Sir George 'Dahill was the next witness examined, but there was nothing of novelty or importance in his evidence. The Court adjourned to this day. WINTER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE. Dsc. IS. Before Mr. Baron 041111110 W.

A young female, whose name did not transpire, was brought before Mr. Gaxaosze, on Thursday, under the following cir- curnstances : It appeared that Miss Stephens, the celebrated vocaUst, of No. b, Connaught-terrace, Edgware-road, lost a valuable gold bracelet in Pall-mall, last Saturday evening, as she was going to a party at Ge neral Macdonald's. On the Monday following Miss Stephens had handbills printed, and offering a reward of two solaces to any person who found the bracelet, and would give it up.— Thursday morning the young woman at the bar went to Con naught-terrace, and informed Miss Stephens that she had found the bracelet in PaiLmaU, and bad pawned it at the shop of Mr. Morkt, in York.street, Westminster, for three guineas, and for that aunt she would restore it to her.

Mr. Das enquired what Mr. agitator bad to say ? The defendant had much to say, and also thought it a cass of necessity that gentlemen at the west-end should have a mild cigar on a Sunday as well as on any other day. He bad been at great expense in fitting op rooms for the comfort of his guests He made himself a complete slave all day and all night. seldom resignktg himself to the arms of Morpheus until four in the morning, in order that he might give accommodation and satisfaction, and be sow submitted to the worthy Magistrate, that closing his shop on a Sunday against thole gentlemen who patronised him all the week, 'it world be the complete ruin of his business.
