THE FAMILY OF MR. HONE. We alluded some days ago to the handsome notice of Mr. Hone in Mr. Southey's Life of Banyan. The fol lowing correspondence has since been sent 'to us : it dis plays in an advantageous light the modesty of Mr. Hone and the amiable and candid disposition of Mr. Southey. The business, wholly foreign to Mr. Hone's former pur suits, which is alluded to in the letter, is explained in an athcrtisement in this day's paper:— " TO 1101 T. SOUTHEY, ESQ. LL.D. KESWICK. .. 1 3 , London, April 23. Stn—Late last night I got a copy of the new edition of the ritorint's Progresv, at Mr. Major's; and, this morning, my first csr.ployment is to obtrude upon you my most sincere and respect. na thanks, for your unexpected and generous mention of my name, lnd recent writings, in the conclusion of your Life of Bunyan. For obvious reasons, such a notice from you is especially grate 'ni to me, and is the more gratifying now, when the humble doings you are pleased to publicly favour can benefit me no otherwise than by sometimes occasioning reflection on the honesty of purpose which stimulated my labours, and which consoles me, after I have lost every thing on earth, except my integrity and ten children; these, I trust, I shall be enabled to keep to my life's end. To further literary exertion, lam beyond the reach of ' encouragement.' At this moment, the last remains of my ruined fortunes, a few of the books that assisted me in working out my Erin Day Book and Table Book (which, by the by, are mine no longer,) are passing ;under the hammer of an auctioneer, to realise a small instalment towards insufficient means of commencing business, wholly foreign to all my former pursuits and addictions. I have thrown down my pen for ever, and, at 50 years of age, am struggling to enter on a strange drudgery, for the future support of my wife and family. " In the autumn of last year, while sojourning in a quiet ham let, I packed up a book or two respecting the Pilgrims' Progreso, with the intention of sending them to you. I had misgivings, however, as to whether you would receive from me, as a token of good-will, which I unfeignedly desired to communicate in that spirit, and the parcel was put aside, sealed up, as it still remains. In that state, I shall forward it for conveyance to you, through Mr. Major, simply to evidence my feeling towards you several months ago. You may be convinced by it that your liberality has a kin in my own mind. After all, perhaps, the best testimony I can give to the fact, that I am duly sensible of your unlooked-for kindness, is the promptitude with which I acknowledge the obligation. " I am, Sir, your very respectful and most obedient servant, " W. HONE." " TO ML TIMM 13, OILACICAUTCH-STIEET. " Keswick, April 26. " Sir—Your letter has given me both pain and pleasure. lam cony to learn that you are still, in the worldly sense of the word, an unfortunate man—that you are withdrawn from pursuits which were consonant to your habits and inclinations, and that a public' expression of respect and goodwill, made in the hope that it might have been serviceable to you, can have no such effect. " When !observed your autograph in the little book, I wrote to , I inquire of Mr. Major whether it bad come to his hands from you, directly or indirectly, for my use, that, in that case, I might thank you for it. It proved otherwise, but I would not lose an opportunity which I had wished for. " Judging of you (as I would myself be judged) by your works, I saw in the editor of the Every Day and Table Books a man who had applied himself with great diligence to useful and meritorious pursuits. I thought that time, and reflection, and affliction, (of which it was there seen that he had had his share,) had contributed to lead him into this direction, which was also that of his better mind. What alteration had been produced in his opinions it con cerned not me to inquire : here there were none but what were unexceptionable,—no feelings but what were to be approved. From all that appeared, I supposed be had become a sadder and a wiser man: I therefore wished him success in his literary under " Ite little parcel which you mention I shall receive with pleasure. " I wish you success in your present undertaking, whatever it be, and that you may one day, under happier circumstances, resume a pen, which has, of late years, been so meritoriously employed. If your new attempt prosper, you will yet find leisure for intellectual gratification, and for that self-improvement which may be carried on even in the busiest concerns of life. " I remain, Sir, your's with sincere good will, Times. " ROBERT SOUTHEY." SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF PER- MANENT AND UNIVERSAL PEACE. Thursday evening last the 14th annual meeting of the above Society was held at the Friends' Meeting-house, in White Hart-court, Gracechurch-street ; Wm. Allen, Esq. in the Chair. A report of the Society's proceedings during the last year was read by the Rev. J. Woods, the Secretary; which referred to the termination of hostilities between Russia and Turkey as very gratifying, as well as the al tered tone of our Senators of late, when war was the sub ject of debate. This also may be said of the United States of America, since, at a late Congress, the Presi dent congratulated them at being at peace with all man kind. Their auxiliary Societies, especially those of Brio. tol and Birmingham, had been making active progress in regard to the increase of members and the circulation of their tracts. The report further congratulated them on the restoration of peace in Ireland, and expressed an ac knowledgment to Dr. Doyle for bis able advocacy of their Society. In America thirteen new Auxiliary Peace Societies had been established. Their Committee con tinued also to be on friendly terms with the Society of Morals at Paris. The Treasurer, Joint SCOTT, Esq. recited the accounts, , by which it appeared the yearly subscriptions amounted ' to 6281. 19s. 4d. 23,050 tracts bad been circulated dur ing the past year. Some tracts in foreign languages, in ?manuscript, were waiting until there should be sufficient :funds to enable the Committee to have them printed. The Rev. Dr. Smith, Dr. Bowring, Rev. N. E. Slo per, John Dyer, Esq. and several other gentlemen and ministers, addressed the meeting on the general objects of the Society. THE NEW FIRST CLASS BOOK. A very valuable addition has just been made to the common stock of books applicable to elementary in struction, by the publication of the New First Class Book, originally compiled by Mr. Pierpont, and now re-edited by E. H. Barker, Esq. of Thetford. This meritorious work has been favourably known to the public for several years—the freshness and novelty of the composition being this, that it consists en tirely of Exercises in reading and speaking, to the exclu sion of those rules, the knowledge of which has been foolishly considered indispensable to any considerable proficiency in either. We agree with Mr. Pierpont when he stated, in 1823, in his preface on the first appearance of the work, that reading, like conversation, is learned from example rather than by rule. No one, said he, be comes distinguished, as a singer, by the most familiar knowledge of the gamut ; so, no one is ever made an ac complished reader or speaker by studying.rules for elo cution, even though aided by a diagram. There is even less aid derived from rules in reading than in singing ;, for music is, in a great degree, a matter of strict science ' dile reading, after the alphabet is learned, is altogether an art—an art, indeed, which reqvires quick perception, a delicate taste, a good understanding, and especially a faculty of nicely discriminating and accurately express ing the various shades of .an author's meaning; but, nevertheless, an art that ii less capable of being reduced to definite rules, or of being Wight by them. Under these impressions the compilers of the Class Book have given to the world a production eminently calculated to help the young on, in their scholastic labours, and in the general improvement of their minds. BIRDS. " The language of birds," says the late Rev. Gilbert White, in his Natural History of Selborne,' "is very ancient ; and, like other ancient modes of speech, very elliptical ; little is said, but much is meant and under stood. The notes of the eagle kind are shrill and piercing; and, about the season of nidification, much diversified, as I have been assured by a curious observer of nature, who long resided at Gibraltar, where eagles abound. The notes of our hawks much resemble those of the king of birds. Owls have very expressive notes; they hoot in a fine vocal sound, much resembling the vox humana, and reducible by a piten-pipe to a musical key. This note seems to express complacency and rivalry among the males ; they use also a quick call and a horrible scream, and can snore and hiss when they mean to menace. Ra vens, besides their loud croak, can exert a deep and solemn note that makes the woods to echo ; the amorous sound of a crow is strange and ridiculous; rooks, in the breed ing season, attempt sometimes, in the gaiety of their hearts, to sing, but with no great success. The parrot kind have many modulations of voice, as appears by their aptitude to learn human sounds. Doves coo in an amorous and mournful manner, and are emblems of despairing lovers. The woodpecker sets up a sort of loud and hearty laugh. The fern-owl, or goat sucker, from the dusk till day-break, serenades his mate with the clat tering of castenets. All the tuneful passeres express their complacency by sweet modulations, and a variety of melody. The swallow, as has been observed in a former letter, by a shrill alarm, bespeaks the attention of the other hirundines, and bids them be aware that the hawk is at hand. Aquatic and gregarious birds, especially the nocturnal, that shift their quarters in the dark, are very noisy and loquacious—as cranes, wild geese, wild ducks, and the like ; their perpetual clamour prevents them from dispersing and losing their companions. In so ex tensive a subject, sketches and outlines are as much as can be expected ; for it would be endless to in stance in all the infinite variety of the feathered nation. We shall, therefore, confine the remainder of this letter to the few domestic fowls of our yards which are most known, and, therefore, best understood. And first, the peacock, with his gorgeous train, demands our attention ; but, like most of the gaudy birds, his notes are grating and shocking to the ear ; the yelling of cats, and the braying of an ass, are not more disgustful. The voice of the goose is trumpet-like and clashing, and once saved the capitol of Rome, as grave historians assert; the hiss also of the gander is formidable, and full of me nace, and protective of his young.' Among ducks, the sexual distinction of voice is remarkable ; for while the quack of the female is loud and sonorous, the voice of the drake is inward, harsh, and feeble, and scarce dis cernible. The cock turkey struts and gobbles to his mistress in a most uncouth manner ; he hath also a pert and petulant note when he attacks his adversary. When a hen turkey leads forth her young brood, she keeps a watchful eye ; and if a bird of prey appear, though ever so high in the air, the careful mother announces the enemy with a little inward moan, and watches him with a steady and active look ; but if he ap proach, her note becomes earnest and alarming, and her outcries are redoubled. No inhabitants of a yard seem possessed of such a variety of expression and so copious a language as common poultry. Take a chicken of four or five days old, and hold it up to a window where there are flies, and it will immediately seize its prey with little twittering. of complacency ; but if you tender it a wasp or a bee, at once its note bcome harsh, and expressive of disapprobation and a sense of danger. When a pullet is ready to lay, she intimates the event by a joyous and easy soft note. Of all the occurrences of their life, that of laying seems to be the most important ; for no sooner has a hen disburdened herself, than she rushes forth with a clamorous kind of joy, which the cock and the rest of his mistresses immediately adopt. The tumult is not confined to the family concerned, but catches from yard to yard, and spreads to every homestead within hearing, till at last the whole village is in an uproar. As soon as a hen becomes a mother, her new relation demands a new language ; she then runs clucking and screaming about, and seems agitated as if possessed. The father of the flock has also a considerable vocabulary ; if he finds food, he calls a favourite concubine to partake ; and if a bird of prey passes over, with a warning voice he bids his family beware. The gallant chanticleer has, at com mand, his amorous phrases, and his terms o f defiance.— But the sound by which he is best known is his crowing; by this he has been distinguished in all ages as the countryman's clock or larum, as the watchman that pro claims the division of the night. Thus the poet elegantly , styies him— The crested cock, whose clarion sounds The silent hours." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dl,►r 21. The Court took undefended causes until eleven o'clock, and then gave judgment in the case of HUNTER AND OTHERS V. This was an action on a policy of insurance in conti nuation of one for 5,0001. on one of four ships trading to Singapore, Batavia, the Cape of Good Hope, and other places. The ground of defence had been that the vessel in question touched at a port which was about 400 miles out of the direct course, had taken on board goods, and that she had subsequently been lost. The COURT were of opinion that the port at which this vessel had touched could not, according to the wording of the policy, be held out as the proper course, the words being, after naming the different ports, " and elsewhere." The Plaintiff was therefore entitled to recover, and the verdict must therefore stand for the whole sum (as we un derstood) of 2741. 14s. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. THE KING V. DURHAM AND WEITMACOTT. Mr. C. F. WI 1. LI As rose to show cause against a rule obtained on a former day by the Attorney-General, calling on the Defendants to show cause why a criminal informa tion should not be filed against them as proprietors of the Age, for publishing a libel on Mr. Holmes, Treasurer of the Ordnance. This libel charged Mr. Holmes, with ob tainingan article to be inserted in the Courier which would tend to lower the price of Greek funds. The learned counsel said the court had granted the rule against Miss Durham, ' as proprietor, and Mr. Westmacott as printer, proprietor, publisher, and author of the alleged libel. Miss D. was proprietor of half the paper, but a gentleman named Baylis had, since the 23d Nov. last, had a share, having purchased it of her. Mr.W. had not since that time had any controul over the paper, and was only one of the editors at a stipulated salary. The Attorney-General, in the case of the " King v. Bell," bad stated that be did not wish to punish the rimer of a libel, or th e proprietor of a paper, if the writer 's name was given up ; in this instance the author of the alleged libel had been given up, and that even before the application for the rule was made ; but still the Attorney General made the motion contrary to his statement in the case he (Mr. Williams) had before alluded to. Mr.Westmacott had even stated to the solicitors for Mr. Holmes, that if they would not continue the prosecution against Miss Durham, he woul take all the responsibility upon himself, and that he would make no defence, but would suffer judgment to go against him. As to the libel itself, it originated from mistake, and an apology for the publication had the week after appeared in the Age, in the same part of the paper as that in which the offensive paragraph appeared. The pro prietors had also sent a letter to Mr. Holmes containing an apology, with twelve copies of the paper in which the apology was published. Mr. H. had circulated these papers among his friends, and he thought he ought to feel perfectly satisfied. Lady Strong, the wife of Mr. Holmes, had received one of these papers in a party, and said she thought a sufficient apology had been made,but that Mr.H. was not of the same opinion ; she then inquired of Sir T. Champneys what he thought of the subject, and the answer given by Sir T. C. was, that he, " as a magistrate and a gentleman, thought Mr. Holmes ought to be satisfied." Sir Thomas had made an affidavit of this fact, and it would show that the apology quite freed Mr. Holmes of the imputation that he had caused the article to be in serted in the Courier, for the purpose of obtaining profit by dabbling in the funds ; in fact, the apology stated that the author was informed that Mr. H. does not deal in the funds. Mr. Westmacott made an affidavit, contradicting the whole of Mr. Scanlan's affidavit. It stated that the conversation alluded to by Mr. S. had occurred in con sequence of a jocose paragraph appearing in the Age the Sunday previous to the one the alleged libel appeared, and and when Mr. S. met Mr. Westmacott, he said, " I sup pose you will have a slap at Billy Holmes again next week ; he is a good fellow, and a particular friend of mine, and I should be under a particular obligation if you would not insert any thing against him ;" that this con versation did not in any way relate to the subject of the libel. The affidavit concluded by denying the whole of the statement made by Mr. Scanlan. Mr. DENMAN, Mr. FOLLETT, and Mr. BACON, severally addressed the Court in behalf of the defendants. The ATTORNET•GENERAL, in reply, observed, that no man with the feelings of a gentleman, could permit such a libel, such a scandalous libel, to be published, without resenting it. The Court would not refuse to make the rule absolute because a Sir T. Champneys,who called himself a magistrate and a gentleman (he did not know who he was, but he supposed he was a particular friend of Mr. Westmacott's), thought the apology made ought to satisfy the party injured. There was perjury some where. Mr. W. had not sworn that he had no general control over the Age, and if he were to escape to-day, Miss Durham would escape over the water, and no re medy could be obtained against them. For Mr. Holmes he would state that he considered the libel a scandalous libel, and the apology an insulting apology. The Court, he was sure, would never permit that system of breaking a man's bead, and then giving a plaster in satisfaction. The Judges deliberated ten minutes. Lord TENTERDEN then said, there can be no doubt that the libel is a scandalous one, and we cannot say that Mr. Holmes ought to be satisfied with an apology. Under these circumstances, we think Mr. Holmes ought to have the rule made absolute, or discharged on the payment of costs, whichever way he thinks proper, and we leave that to his discretion. Mr. DEN mA w rose a few minutes after the Court had pronounced the decision, and said that the defendants would, he was sure, be willing to pay the costs, if Mr. Holmes thought proper to allow the rule to be dis charged. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that he was sure Mr. Holmes would not accept money from the parties.— Rule made absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, M*y 21. DOE ON THE DEMISE OF THE RIGHT HON. LORD TEY Nil A3l V. TYLER. This was an action of ejectment, tried at the Sittings of the last Term, and was brought for the purpose of trying the validity of certain assignments made by Henry, the twelfth Lord Teynhain, under which the de fendants became of certain property, formerly belonging to the as ynh ued am family. Upon the trial it ap peared that the father of the defendant, who was related to the Teynham family, married two of the sisters of the twelfth Lord Teynham, owing to which he became pos sessed of the property in question, by the twelfth Lord Teynham assigning it over to him. It was endeavoured to be shown by the evidence given in support of the plaintiff's case, that the Noblo Lord, at the time he assigned the property, was not in a fit state of mind to make such an assignment, and that in fact he was induced to do so by arts practised on him, through I the instrumentality of the defendant's father. This evi dence was met by the defendant, wbo allowed that Lord Henry was, although not a very brilliant character, a very sensible person, and perfectly capable of disposing of his property in a correct and proper manner. One of the modes of proving this fact was, by putting in the accounts of a person named Fox, who was steward to Lord Henry, wherein Lord Henry " discharged" those accounts. The result was a nonsuit for the defendant. Upon the trial this latter piece of evidence was re jected, and at the commencement of this term, Mr. Sergeant Jones obtained a rule to show cause why this evidence should not be rejected and a new trial granted. Mr. Sergeant WILDE shewed cause against the rule. The Court admitted that the evidence objected to ought not to have been received, but they at the same time decided, that independent of this evidence, which they considered of no importance in the case, the weight of evidence given upon the trial was greatly in favour of the verdict, and therefore the rule for a new trial ought to be discharged. In deciding as they did, the Court did not think that they were doing the noble plaintiff any in justice, for he could, if he pleased, bring a new action for ejectment. As the Marquess of Londonderry was riding on horse back on Thursday evening, at a very quick rate, to his residence in Park-lane, Piccadilly, followed by his groom, his horse suddenly fell near Stanhope-gate. His groom proceeded at full gallop to his Lordship's assistance, and at the same instant another groom rode up in an opposite direction. The horses of the two grooms came in colli sion with such violence as to knock each rider off his horse, and they lay on the ground for some time in a state of insensibility. Assistance was immediately pro cured, when it was discovered that the thigh of the Mar quess's groom was broken, and that be was also dread fully injured in the hip. The sufferer was removed to St. George's Hospital. A coach was procured for the other groom, and he was conveyed to his residence, dread fully bruised. The noble Marquess was enabled to pro ceed home, without haring sustained any particular injury from his fall. _ _ _ TORRINGTON.-A turkey hen, the property of Mrs. Williams, at Pristioott, in this parish, has last week fi nished her period of incubation with 21 eggs of her own laying, and may now be seen fondly strutting about the farm-yard with the same number of chickens ! As a labourer was carrying a scythe over his shoulder along the High-street, Cheltenham, on Wednesday morn ing, the edge of the instrument came in contact with a little boy about ten years of age, and wounded him so dreadfully that his nose was nearly severed from his face, which is otherwise disfigured. • WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, May 21 (Before F. Courr, Esq. sad a full Beach of Magistrat es . ) Thomas Robert Robertson was indicted for assaulting William Clifton, with intent to murder him. There were• two other counts in the indictment, charging the p r , soner with obstructing one of the police of the county of Middlesex in the execution of his duty. When called upon to plead, the prisoner, with uncommon salty froid. said, " I am not guilty of either count." The prosecutor, who belongs to B division, No. 50, was allowed, in consequence of his weak state, to sit in that part of the Court appropriated for the gentlemen of the long robe. He stated that about the middle of the night of the 20th of March, he was on duty in the Broad way, where Robertson, who was loudly rapping at a door and using most disgusting language, lives. Witness de sired him to desist, and he did so for a moment, but no sooner had he (the prosecutor) turned his back to t•„ away, than the prisoner ran round him and struck hue several violent blows in the face, which rendered him al most insensible. Robertson then seized hold of the trun cheon, and struck him violently across both legs with it, which he broke in two places; he then struck wane,: several blows across the head, exclaiming, " d—m your eyes, I'll murder you." The CHAIRMAN said, he was extremely surprised that the prisoner bad not been indicted for the capital offence, and tried at the Old Bailey. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, stated, that on the night in question he returned home at a late hour, rather intoxicated, and was knocking at his own door to obtain admission, when the prosecutor de manded what he wanted ; upon which he said that he wanted to get into his own lodgings. The complainant found fault with the noise he created, and told him if lie re peated it he should take him into custody. A scuffle then ensued between them, and he, the defendant, said, " You'd better let me go, and not maul me about like a drunken man or d—d old woman," when they both fell down in the gutter together, and he seised the officer'. truncheon in his own defence, and struck the constahlo two blows, but cannot say on what part of his body. The Chairman, in summing up, eulogised the maune: in which most of the New Police Constables had been in the habit of giving their evidence, 'and declared this to have been one of the most inhuman and unprovoked as saults that had ever come under his cognizance, and could only suppose that the man must have laboured under in sanity at the time. The Jury found a verdict of Guilty. The Court sentenced the prisoner to be confined ft)! two years in the House of Correction, and there kept to hard labour POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL A man named Monkhouss, a general dealer, residing in Iforse:e , .. down, was charged with neglecting to maintain his wife. His de. fence was, that although he had married her, yet he had a fonw wife living at the time, and she knew it when they were marri,J. She denied that she knew he was a married man, and said that h. kept his country.house and was living in affluence. The Overseen of St. Ann's, Blackfriars, who preferred the charge, threatened to prosecute for bigamy, if he did not maintain the wife, and he con. seated to allow her 3s. a week, and having paid 21. in advance, hr was set at liberty. BOW.STREET. Yesterday Mr. Solomon', a goldsmith and jeweller of the Strand, came before Mr. Blhashull, the magistrate, and informed him of a daring robbery which was committed that morning in his shop.— Between eight and nine o'clock one of the shopmen was left alone in the shop, and although it was usual for one of the assistanta w continue there throughout the day, for the protection of the pro. puty--and it was a rule he should not leave the place till relieved by another person—yet, on this occasion, the shopman fastened the front door and went down stairs, but he was not stunt shove two minutes.

Mr. Solomon said that he had ascertained from a coal-haver. who was near his house at the time of the robbery, that a young man of genteel appearance was seen with the property at the comer of George-court, in the Strand, and was observed to put it into a A magistrate on the bench said, " It is gone to the melting-pot• ' Mr. Solomon. said the workmanship was very valuable, and Le had exhibited the pair to the Duke of Bedford the day before.
