CINIVREITY COMMISSION PRIZE, OF Aim Thowskourned Meeting of the University and Royal Commission for the put pose of hearing the public read ing of the Prix: Essay, on the Character of the Athen ians, by the successful competitor, took pl ice on Satur day, at one o'clock 1..14. in Dr. Hope's classroom. The business of the day commenced by Principal Baird•of feting up a Latin prayer ; after which he proceeded, by desire of the Commission, to read an extract from their ufnutes relative to the institution of the Prize, and the decision of the Faculty of Arts in favour of the Essay. which proved to be the production of Mr. J+ B. Patterson, a Student of Divinity, who had eminently distinguished himself by his general talents and acquirements. When the Principal had finished, Mr. Patterson proceeded to perform what he must have felt as by far the most try ing pat t of his task, the reading of his dissertation in pre. serce of the Royal Commission, the Patrons, and the v:holeUrtiversity. 1 his occupied fully two hours, and was gone through without the least apparent embarrassment, and with much propriety of manner and distinctness of elocution. As to the Essay itself, it is unquestionably, Upon the whole, highly creditable to the talents and in dustry of its author; and though it did not strike us as very remarkable for vigour and originality of thought,, or as indicating a capacity for severe and logical rea soning and investigation, yet it was embellished with many happy turns both of sentiment and expression, and evinced an enthusiastic love of classical antiquity. with a faculty of appreciating its fine models both in literature and art, which are deserving of the highest commendatirm Its principal and radical fault however seemed to be, that it involved the logical fallacy called jirlatiopriocipu, of begg i ng of the question. The Essayist assuo,ed as data a superior physical organization, an intense nationality, and an overweening self-tsteem; and upon these assumptions he proceeded to account for the different " lights and shadows" of the Athenian character, and to explain the apparently incongruous phases which it oftentimes exhibited. But these are not ultimate facts, universally admitted as unsuscep tible of analysis, and which an enquirer may there. fore take for granted as the basis of his investiga tions. Whence did the Greeks generally, and the Athenians its particular, derive the superior physical organization which has been ascribed to them? This is a question, the solution of which, though it involves an inquiry into the different great laces of men, as well as the causes by which their general characteristic:. are modified, is of very highest interest and import ance, and is calculated to esercite the ingenuity and learning of the most subtle and profound inquirer. Ntii, how are we to account for the intense nationality of t? e Athenians, a feeling which they shared in com mon with m..ny other nations and states, which resem bled them in nothing else? This is a complex attribete of a general character, and being susceptible of analysis and decomposition, ought not to have been assumed as an elements, yps inciple. Besides, there are different kinds of nationality: the mouniaincers of Helvetia, Armmiea, and Caledonia, were ac intensely national as the Atheni• ans, and as srakt of their r ude rocic.,wild glens,and barba- sous customs, as the latter is ere of their fine climate, their lovely land, and all the glories which Greek genius had achieved in science, literature, sits, or arms. As to overweening self-esteem, again, it is only another name for nationality; and the obj et of the Essayist ought to have been, to trace to its source the principle which he sock at once for granted as the foundation of his in quiry, and, conversely, to shew how it was gradually developed, and what effects it produced in its operation upon the character of the pacple who were under its influence. All this, !louvre , , was deemed superfluous and onneeessary. Tie Essayist confined himself merely popular views, and to an enumeration, often prettily arptessed, of those snore stiiking circumstances and in eidents, which, in the present d iy, are infinitely More reli , lied than the most piofund investigations of a see re philosophy. At the same time cc must do this mesittirious young man the justice to say, that, in appreciating the characteristics of the Athe nian Rerublic, distingui•h , d with much precision between poli ,cal liberty, which it bestowed in the very hi;lielt degree, : and civil liblrt y, to which its citizens were absolute strangers. This dis tinction it is of the last importance to keep in view, be cause it furnishes a key to the *hole bitten y of the Re publics 4Athens andßome,as well as to that of the de nu.craticAl States of July during the Middle Age: and it wasto M. Sismondi, whom the E,sayi.t forgot to name, that tl,e first discovery of it is due. In his admirable and well•known work on the Italian Re publics (liisloire des Republique: Italiennes de 3loyen Age)it is developed with a philosophical preci,ion scluom equalled, and illustrated with clearness and felicity .ot language never surpaised.With respect to the style of this 1 izeEss y,which ha , been es owned with such novel dis tinction, it struck us as esactly ref that so, t which might be expected from a young man of talent.: ambHous, flowery, their rival, and oinament 41 throughout with a profusion ct spangles and embroidery, the glitter of which was often painful, though, in not a lest/ instances ' the intertexturt exhibited a curioer felicitas for which the writer is entitled to full credit. Besides the Lord Pro vost and Magistrates, as Patrons, and the Members oil the University, there was in attendance an unusually full meeting of the Royal Commission, among whirion! we observed the EIA of Rosebety, Lord Coiehouse, the Lord Advocate and Solicitor General of Scotland, ' the D..an of Faculty, Dr. Inglis, Bcc. This, we belit ye, is the first exhibition of the sort which has been wit nessed in any'Univessity in Scotland, and we sincerely trost it will be productive of all the good which has been expected from. it. For oar own parts, how e ter, we doubt extremely the propriety of such dis plays, which seem calculated to spoil one individual, without giving any very beneficial impulse or stimu• lus to the great msss of students. The distinc tip conferred seems to us incommensurate with any thing short of the very highest and rarest min." ments; and even in regard to an individual thus gifted and distinguished, it is sure to excite ispectations so extravagant as in all probability never to be realised It is our honest conviction, indeed,, that the rage for introducing English modes, which ieems to be the rul ing passions of all those who have any power or con ; troul over our Universities and great Schools, promises to be productive of any thing but advantage to those establishments ; and though the million have been dazz• led by ti e system of display and parade which is now almrst universally acted upon, we doubt excessively, whether the progress of solid instruction has kept pace with the estraot dinary advances which have been mai. in the arts of oithibiti• n. But be this as it may, what" is good for Edinburgh, cannot be injurious to Glasgow,' S:. Andrew's, and Aberdeen; and we.trost, therefore,' the Royal Commission which has w lai,Jably stept be. yond its proper sphere to encourage iniustry and talent in the Metropolitan University, will not overlook those' in the provinces. After Mr. Patterson had finished the reading of his Essay, we understand the Commissioners communicated to him, by the Earl of Rosehery, that the Royal Com missioners having re-assembled after having heard Mr. Patterson's Essay read, feel tl emselves 'called upon to express their high admiration of it, and were impressed with the talent, erudition, and eloquence, by which it is so eminently distinguished.—Cakdon inn Mercury. ' LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Noymeass U. At an early hour, the Court was crowded with per. sons anxious to hear the speech which it was understood Mr. Robert Taylor would deliver, upon being biought up for judgment. At ten o'clock, he appeared ia Court, sod took his seat in front of the table. Tl.e LORD CUIIIVJUSTICR intimated that the Court would hear motions for new trials to-morrow, instead of going through the special paper. • The RECORDS@ ret, to move the judgment of the Cdurt upon Robert Taylor, who had been convicted of blaspheiny. Mr. ilium:nuns( informed the Court, that be was not instructed to Move for a new trisl in this case. The RICOUDILA said, that the Attorney-General was with him in the cause, and was movaentatily expected in Court. 'file LORD Cunt,. Justice said, that the Court would await the Attorney-General's arrival, as well as that of Mr. Justice Holroyd. 1 LIBEL. The COURT then went through die bar in the or,i. nary coarse of business, when Mr. FItENCH, speaking from the back seat, said, he had to move for a rule to show cause why a criminal inf. minion should not be filed against Mr. Young, of No. 112, Strand, printer and publisher, and Patrick Giant, Esq. of Portland•place, who was the sole pro prietor of a newspaper called the Sea, for a libel. He had, be fore he proceeded further, to apologize for his present deviation from the practice of the Court, in coming forward to be his own Counsel. Among the learned friends who surrounded him, perhaps it WAS possible he might have a few learned and ingenious enemies, and it was therefore by applying in his own person, that he thought he could best pursue his own purpose. The Sllll newspaper had published an atro cious libel against him—one which, if it received cre• deuce, was calculated to deprive him and his family of the means of subsistence. He never should have ap peared as an applicant for a criminal information in this Court, were he not compelled to do so in justice to himself. Of the libel itself, one sentence would suffice to apprize the Court of its bearing and tendency, and be a fit sample of the whole, which was rather long; it was as follows:—" There is a silly Gentleman named French, going about the town, whose eccentricity of mind has of late taken a sad turn ;" it then went on to impute a disordered intellect to him, to his own depre ciation and the injury of his family. Now he had no , other means of chewing the falsehood of this imputa tion, and of substantiating the soliditj of his intellect, than by instituting and conducting the present prose cution. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—What affidavit have you, Mr. French ? Mr. FRENCH-4 have a very full and copious one of my own, my Lot& The libel . further accuses me of inveighing in public against everything good in the institutions of my country . . The Coons., upon understanding that Mr. French had complied with the usual form of Affidavit in such a case, graced a rule to chew cause. Mr. FRESCH—I have a similar application to make against another newspaper. There seems to be a de tetntination with a part of the press to spew Up my ,igntecility of mind, and I am equally anxious to thew its solidity. The Courtr refused to hear a sicond motion of this 1 1 kind at the smile rime from any Leatned Gentleman. Mr. FRZNCII—Theo shall 1 be allowed to make it to morrow ? The LARD CHIEJ Juvrtrit replied, that it would be competent for him to make his application in his mu to-morrow. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. if. The C, urt sat in banco fora few hours this morning, and disposed of a variety of motions of no general in terest. At one o'clock Mr. Ju.rice GAseLee proceeded t , ) Guildhail, where he commenced sitting at Nisi Prius. 'Several cases cline on for trial, but they were all en tit rly void of interest, except to the parties engaged. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 22. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL U. BROOK BANE. This case tiai been frequently before the public. It was an information filed against the defendant, as army agent, ca:ling upon him to account for several large sums s,f money received by him in and sub stqnently to the year 1794. To this information the defendant. pletded certain documents called clear ing•warrants, ssbich he contended were in the na ture of a final settlement of his accounts w ith the Crown. The plea was excepted to, and overruled by the Court, but with liberty to the defendant to amend, giving bim also permission to have access to certain accounts, pa. pets, and dccumcnts in the War•ofhce, tor the purpose of enabling him to prepare hi; defence. The defendant accartfingly amended his fOrmei . pke, by adding to it midis information which he drew from the papers in thellV.r.l dice and this amended plea being also ex cepted to, the case came on for argument on a former day in this Terns, and stood over for a further affidavit in support of it. - • The Count to-day, after heaving Mr. H. WRODORAII on the part of the Crown, and Messrs. Jratvls and Mit.t.mt for the defendant, again overruled the plea as still insufficient. COURT OF BUNG'S BENCH, Donne, Nov. to. Till KING, AT THE PRoSRCUTION OP HENRY GRATTAN, ESQ M P. V. THOMAS N. EDGEWORTH AND 1 ADANA SIONTGOSIERY, ESQRS. The Sutictron GENERAL (Doherty) renewed his ap t l cation in this case for a-conditional order for a criminal ,information against the defendants., The application had been made to the Court on a former day ; but their Lordships then required that the article which ap ',eared in the Freeman's Journal, and which was, alleged by Major Edgewoith as the cause of provoea; tion, should be set forth in Mr. Grattan's affidavit. The Eolicitor General none moved upon an amended Affidavit, in which the article in question was set fin th. He said that Mr. Grattan still swore that he had no connexion with, n it- was he at all privy to, the publication of this article, fotther than his being the registered proorietor of the newspaper in which it ap peared; and though be felt himself bound to set it Out in It's affidavit, he protested against being made accountable for it. He (Mr. Voiserty) would read the article for their Lordships, and they would then be able to judge whether it in arty manner afforded an excuse for he conduct of the defendants. He hese read the nt ticle, which was headed" Public Appointments...the Paving Board." Judge Jena having looked over the tinkle, said it merely re tired in general terms to the officers of the Paving Board establishment. The Soucirost GENRRAL added, that its censure ap plied solely to those officers whom a report of the Commissioners, published by direction•of the House of Common% had convicted of improper practices; the name of Major Edges% oi th was not even mentioned in it. Mr. Justice JEBB sa:d, one of the sentences inight be supposes' to allude to rll the officers of the establish went, but from an antecedent paragraph it appeared applicable to those fficers only who had been found guilty of mal-practice , . There was; therefore, no ob jection on the part of the Court to grant the condi tional order. The SOLICITOR GRNRRALe--Your Lordships will not apply that accusation to Major Edgeworth, though he may himstif it he thinks proper. Couar.—Take a conditional rule.,•, , • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. . , I - -. Yesterday a woman was put tothe bar, charged VOW &orderly conduct In the Black Swan, St. Paul's Churchyard. The Landlord stated, that the evening before the prisoner and another woman came into his house, and bad a quartern of gin ; after which they asked for another; but by that time bk perceived c that the prisoner was rather tipsy, and refused givin them any more. Her companion who was sober, west off quietly,but the pri soner, after behaving very impudently, broke a, pane o glass and refused to pay for it, which caused him to give her into (handy.— He, however, did not wish that she should be further punished, than merely compelling her to pay for the glass she had broken. The Alderman addressing the prisoner, - said, her conduct de- served severe punishment ; the landlord of the house bed acted in a most proper manner toward, her, and towards the public, by re fusing-to give her more 'liquor, when she already bad too much; and for that considerate and very kind conduct, instead of being grateful, as she ought to have been, she was noisy, abusive, and riotous, and concluded by breaking his window. She might deem herself indebted to his lenity, that she was not punished for such misconduct, Cut certainly she should not be discharged till she paid for the window and all espenses. The prisoner paid all damages and costs, and was discharged, BO *-STIt RET. Yesterday, Daniel Frederick Joon, the begging-letter man, who stands charged with obtaining motley by falac representation:, was finally examined. From the impossibility of proving, by distinct evidence, that the prisoner received the money enclosed to him ' no fresh case was ad duced against him. The charge upon which the prisoner is at pre sent detained is that preferred by Coked Wood, and it only amounts to a tniklemeanour. Mr. Haccs, therefore, told the prisoner, that he would accept bail far his appearance to meet the charge at the ensuing Kingston Assizes ; his own recognizance in OW. and two sureties in 1001. each.—The prisoner said he would furnish the Karnes of his ban this day. HATTON-GARDEN. Henry Stratton and Lotke s linsial were charged by Mr. Wilson, of Holloway, with stealing front his house the previous night, a table clock, a watch, and a new great coat. They entered the house at the back kitchen window, and rasped at the front door, but were taken by the horse patrol near the spot.—Fully comadued. M A R LBO ROUG H-ST REST. Yesterday Patrick Welch and Michael Kelly were brought before Sir G. FA lIA WC from St. James's watchhouse, charged with a gross assault upon Mr. Gnoilltugh, the constable, and the landlord of the King of Prussia public-house. Mr. Goodhugh, who was brought to the Office in a reach, in consequence of the contusions which he bad received, stated that about eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, he was sent for to the King of Prussia public-house, Berwick -street, to assist in dis petsing about twenty tailors, who were creating a disturbance because the landlord refused to draw them any more liquor. On his snivel he requested them to go to their respective homes, but, instead of following his advice, some of them kicked him, and afterwards knocked lien down, on which they said, a Now we have the down, murder him," and they accordingly kicked and jumped on him and the more he called for mercy the more loudly they renew ed their imprecations and threats of killing him. The landlord of the house came out todefend him; but he was also knocked down, and had not their cries brought the watchman to their aesistance, in all probability murder would have ensued. The watchman, on coming up, had to maintain for a few minutes a very severe fight; but the tailors finding therosehresilkely to be overpowered, they ran away, and unfortunately he was only able, with considerable difficulty, to secure the prisoners, who were taken to the watchhouse. „ The landlord of the public-house deposed that the poisoners and their companions belonged to what is called.a Society, and ware what are termed by the trade Pixie. At the regular hour be re quested them to go ; but instead of complying with his request they fell on him and struck him repeatedly, and in going to defend the officer kc was again knocked down, and most seriously injured; the two prisoners were some of the principal assailants. The prisoners denied having struck either of the complainants, and said that they exerted themselves to protect both the landlord and the officer. Sir G. Fa 'IAN? observed, that their conduct warmost laamons, and he would try what effect the strong arm of the law would have or. them ; because, when a parcel of idle, drunken tailors got toge ther, they were not to be spoken to, was carrying matters too far, and he should therefore require them to find good bail for each assault, and give forty-eight hours' notice to the parish officers. MARY-LA-BONNE. Janet Cooper, who is sbopmau to Mr. Hebden, a pork butcher in New -street, Dorset-square, was charged with wilfully and breaking the leg of a spotted coach dog, belonging re Mr. George Ball, of New-street-mews. It appearing by evidence that the dog was a notorious freebooter, and that it had committed robbery repeatedly in the ►hop of the defendant's employer, Mr. GI Rath placed the value of the bacon and pork stoles front Mr. Hebden, as a set-of against the expense Mr. Ball may sustain in miring the dog, and dismissed the charge. Williams Bishop, a young man, was committed to Ng:agate for trial, un the charge of stealing five planes, and other carpenttrs tools, front an unfinished house in Robert-street, New-toad. Jo►u Merchant, of Middlesex -street, Somers -town, a carpenter to whom the property belongs, left it under lock and key on Wed nesday evening, and missed it yesterday morning. The prisoner was apprehended in the act of endeavouring to pawn its with MI apron also belonging so the prosecetor tied round his waist.
