IVINDHAM AND SURER- lkons the " Correspondence and Reminiscences" of Sir Jolts Sonsats, But. a work which, when it appears, will be devoured by the literary and political world. My acquaintance with Mr. Windham led to a train of circumstances, which, taken together, form part of the most singular series of adventures that ever occurred in real life, and resemble more a fictitious romance than an authentic history. At a late hour one evening, I received a few lines from my friend, Dr. Adam Smith, (the particular time I do not !collect ) requesting my company ac dinner next day, to meet the celebrated Edmund Burke and Mr. Windham, who had arrived at Edinburgh, with an intention of making a short tour through the Highlands. The Doctor apolo gised for the shortness of this notice, stating, that the tra vellers had arrived only that morning, and proposed remain ing one day more in Edinburgh. I went accordingly, and passed some hours as might be-expected in the company of such men, in the most gratifying manner. I gave them my advice as to the plan they ought to adopt in making their intended tour ; and, in particular, dwelt on the beauty of the road between Dunkeld and Blair ; adding, that instead of being cooped up in a post •chaise, they had better get out, and walk through the delightful woods and beautiful scenes they would pass through, the more especially some miles beyond Dunkeld. I had almost forgotten these circumstances, when about three years after, Mr. Windham very unexpectedly came to me in the House of Commons, and requested to speak to me for a few moments behind the Speaker's chair. "Do you recollect," said he, " our meeting together at Adam Smith's at dinner ?" " Most certainly I do." " Do you rembember having given us directions for our Highland tour, and more especially to stroll through the woods between Dunkeld and Blair?" " I do." He then added—" An event took place in consequence of our adopting that advice, of which I must now inform you. Burke and I were strolling through the woods, about ten miles from Dunkeld, when we saw a young female sitting under a tree reading. Burke immediately exelaimed, "let us have a little conversation with this solitary damsel, and see what she is about." We accosted her accordingly, and found that she was reading a recent novel front the London press. We asked her how she came to read novels! How she got such books at so great a distance from the metropolis ; and more especially one so recently published ? She answered that she had been educated at a boarding-school at Perth, where novels might be had from the circulating library, and that she had procured them through the same channel. We carried on the conversation for some time, in the course of hich she displayed a great deal of smartness and talent: and at last we were obliged, very reluctantly, to leave her, and proceed on our journey. We afterwards found that she was the daughter of a proprietor of that neighbourhood, who was known under the name of " the Baron Maclaren." " I have never been able," continued Mr. Windham, " to get this beautiful mountain nymph out of my head, and I wish you to ascertain whether she is married or single!" He begged me to clear this point as soon as possible, as much of his future happiness depended upon the result of the inquiry. I lost no time in attending to this request, and applied for information to a most respectable clergyman in the neigh bourhood where Miss Maclaren lived (the Rev. Dr. Stewart, Minister of Moulin), who informed me, in course of post, that she was married to a medical gentleman, of the name of Dick, who had gone to the East Indies. Upon commu nicating this to Mr. Windham ' he seemed very much agi tated. He was soon afterwards married to the daughter of a half-pay officer. I have no doubt, however, that had Miss Maclaren continued single, he would have paid her his ad dresses. Some years afterwards, I happened to be spending some days at Duncarn, in Perthshire, with the late Lord Mel ville, and, in the course of our conversation, mentioned the above anecdote of Mr. Windham; upon which the Noble Lord said, " I am more interested in this matter than you imagine. You must know that, in company with some friends, I was riding down from Blair to Dunkeld, when we called at Baron Maclaren's, where a most beautiful young woman desired to speak with me. We went accordingly to the bank of a river near her father's house, when she said, " Mr. Dundas, I hear that you are a very great man, and, what is much better, a very good man. I will venture, therefore, to tell you a secret. There is a young man in this neighbourhood, who has a strong attachment to me, and to confess the truth, I have a great regard for him. His name is William Dick ; he has been bred to the medical profession • and he says, that if he could get to be a surgeon in the East Indies, he would soon make his for. tune there, and would send for me to marry him. Now, I apply to you, Mr. Dundas, as a great and a good man, in hopes that you can do something for us ; and be assured that we shall be over grateful, if you will procure him an appointment.' " Lord Melville was so much struck with the impassive manner of her address, that he took her by the hand and said, " My good girl, be assured, that if an opportunity offers, I shall not forget your application." Lord MeLv ILL,. then added, that some time afterwards be received a summons to attend his duty in Parliament, and in his way, happened to visit a friend who was an East India Director. After dinner, his friend said to him, "By the bye; Mr. Dundee, politicians like you, have many appli cations in favor of young men, in various lines of life. 1 think it right, therefore, to tell you, that I have, at present et my disposal an appointment of surgeon in the service of the East India Company, and that it is much at your vice.ser" Lord Melville was so much surprised at the singularity of this circumstance, that he struck hie hand forcibly against the table where the sat, and exclaimed with great vehe mence, "The very thing I most anxiously wished for!" He then related his adventure at Baron Maclaren's, greatly to the amusement of the India Director. Mr. Dick was im mediately appointed surgeon, and having gone to the East Indies, was soon placed in a situation which enabled him to send for Miss Maclaren, to whom he was married, and Mr. Windham was thus disappointed of his northern alliance. In the course of the voyage, and after her arrival in the East, she had several offers, but she refused to hear of any one but Mr. Dick. Nor was this all. Dr. Dick having made a handsome fawns in the East Indies, came home and purchased an west*, called Tullimet, in the neighbourhood of where be was born. There he lived in a most hospitable manner, and Mrs. Dick and he were highly and deservedly re spected.. He also had a house in London, where he resided during the winter season, and acquired a great reputation for his skill in the management of liver complaints; be was greatly confided in by his Indian friends respecting that disorder. It seems that Sir Walter Scott was afilicted with a complaint in his liver, which was likely to prove fatal to him. Hearing of Dr. Dick's fame, Sir Walter was induced tc e sar i l l y to him for advice, and by his means the life of that e ted.author was preserved. emesemmeminst We cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of congratulating theeitisens of London on the triumphant state of the poll teethe election of Chamberlain, in favour of Sir James Shaw —a getstleman whose n bole life has been a series of loyalty and patriotism, and whose private character has in all relations commanded and obtained universal respect. • .f i. .r 7 PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. n'R • '7lllr •• • FELIX FARLEY'S BRISTOL JOURNAL, JAN. 22.

Tho don were thrown open at twenty minutes before 11, when a tranandem rush took place ; and ere the hoer appointed for the eau- MINKIIIIISIB of the proceedings. every part of the hall was filled. Oa the semen of A. Palmer, Esq. seconded by R. Brighty Req. W. P. Tauten, Esq. Barrieter.at-Law, was called to the chair. The Meeting was one of the most noisy and uproarious we ever attended. Foe some time the tide of declamatory eloquence flowed shag with comparatively little interruption ; but the elements of dis cord which had been bottled up during the early part of the meeting, exploded towards the close of it la " most admired disorder." The moderate Whip, avowed advocates foe Reform to a certain ex tent, were, as the result proved. decidedly in the minority.— The political conduct of Mr. Hart Davis was unsparingly condemned, and our other Member, Mr. BMWs, fared but little better, in conse quence of his refusing to give a pledge that he would support the vote by ballot. Th e preposition that be should present the petition to the House of Commons was met by an amendment excluding him from that honour, and substituting Lord Ahhorpe, which amendment was carried by a considerable majority. At a Meeting of the Parish of St. Peter, Bristol, to madder of the Statement and Resolutions of the Mayor sod Aldermen, as transmitted by them to the Churchwardens of this Parish, in rega rd to the Beta blishment of a new system of Police Is this City, it was resolved unanimously,—That this Meeting recommend the ens loyment of a Patrol under the saperiatendence of the present Paroeiisl authorities, to act from sun-set until the setting of the Night Watch. And this meeting requests the Corporation to afford the City each protection (from the retiring of the watch In the morning) during the day, as their present powers and funds allow. At a Meeting of the pariah of St. Philip and Jacob, for the same purpose, Mr. Edward E. Day, in the Chair. Ist. It was resolved, That the proposed plan for a New Police does not meet the views of this meeting, inasmuch as it does not differ materially from the pre sent system, except in the alteration of names, and the appointment of 15 day patroles, leaving the citizens to pay the Keeper and Turn key of Beidewell's fees, (heretofore a subject of expensive litigation in the Court of Chancery) whilst the patronage of the appointments will be in the hands of the Mayor and Corporation alone; changes, in the *Mon of this mettle& not likely to increase the security of property, use in any way to benefit the City. Pd. It was resolved, That this meeting considers the military cha racter of the force in question is contrary to the principles of the 'British Constitution, and its substitution for a force placed under tie controul of the parochial authorities, is subversive of public liberty and when perfected in all large communities throughout the empire eminently calculated to introduce among Englishmen a practical ea r t a i t sla nseeting of the Vestry of the parish of Saint Mary Reddlff, it was resolved, That, although of opinion some improvement in the posit wenn of Watching and Pollee would be desirable, this Vestry maast, nor does it, believe the inhabitants, if applied to, would sane. ties die proposed plan, on account of the additional expense to be pro. vide' for by increased taxation to an extent about double the present Wateb-Rate. at a period when the local taxation presses no heavily on property of every kind, sad more especially on homes occupied for retail nab sad those of an inferior dmalpdou. At a Mis ti ng of the watch Mappers of St. Mary Radcliff Ward, the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : That this Meeting cannot withhold its decided disapprobation at the attempt,which will be subversive of the dearest privileges we have as inglislatnen, by bringing to our common homes a class of men un known in the most adverse times of our country, men who have no mamma interest with ourselves, removed from the inflames of our best local authorities, and, by experience elsewhere, wholly inefficient to the care of our properties, the reserved= of our lives, or the pre veation of crime. That it must appear eminently absurd to petition the House of Par. !lament for the reduction of the national expenditure, whilst we p forth and apply to be further burdened with an additlo c to double tbe present amount, when it Is manifest that, by a proper and prudent ar rangement, we can ourselves apply the necessary means for raising a daily watch, and obviate all the difficulties compbioed of, thereby preserving to ourselves the indelible right of diminishing the expense the moment we find It necessary. At a very numerous meeting of the parish of Temple, Mr. Samuel Watton, Churchwarden, in the Chair, the following resolutions were unanimously speed to :- Ist. That the present meeting is of opinion that the System of Po lice, as established in the metropolis, is wholly unnecessary in this city, and would not only have a tendency to Increase taxation, but might, from its unconstitutional chancier, be made instrumental to the subver sion of our liberties as Englishmen. .That this Meeting, while it disapproves of the plan submitted by the Magistrates, is nevenbeless fully aware of the inefficiency of the present System of Police, as well as of the Nightly Watch, and would strongly recommend that deputations from the several Wards should be appointed to confer with the Magistrates, foe the purpose of effecting an improvement of the present system. [ Hence the attempt to introduce gene d'armes at Bristol seems to be frustrated in a manner most creditable to the inhabiteata] Wools have recently advanced in price in the neighbouthood of Exeter, and 7d. per pound is now obtained for unwashed son e.

FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, DUBLIN JAN. 24. MR. O'CONNELL'S LETTER. We yesterday gave the first and last part of Mr. O'Connell's letter to his Cotatiments ; the following is the intermediate part : The late administration declared that they would not introduce say coercive measures during the session. When the Tories made thus a solemn declaration, they were entitled to be believed. It would be impossible to give the same credit to the Whip.
