BY COL. DAVID STEWART. It has been objected to the character of our literature of late, that it has chiefly consisted of the repetition of old knowledge in a-more classical, but not in a more effective, style ; that history • has either fallen into this. comparative inferiority, or assumed a general and philosophical form, which tends to impress the mind of the reader rather with the particular views of the individual historian than to give those clear and distinct impressions of the conttmporeneous effect of events in the spirit of the age in which they tools place—inipreeeions which alone can enable posterity to enter into the feelings and sentiments of former times ; in a word, that we have, in a very great dtgree, ceased to produce works which will hereafter be referred to as the authorities and avouchers not only of opinions, affections, and prejudices, but . also of facts. Colonel Si EWA we* book is not, however, of this description, fur it not only supplies a desideratum in modern literature, but is itself, at once, so original in matter, so full and so complete with respect to the subject, that it will unquestion ably occupy a distinguished place in every historical and philo sophical library ;—it is the moment it of the ancient race of the Highlanders, and the poets ant.: lii.zorians of after times will be found, in constant succ,..ssion, studying the epitaph which he has thus inscribed to the virtues, the hospitality, the fidelity, and the heroism of their character. It has been obt.erved, that a combination of favourable cir cumstances often tends to produce, in particular individuals, the same effect as the endowment uf great genius; the observa tion was never more strikingly illustrated than in the present in stance, for the kindness and the enthusiasm with which Colonel gemeette is equa::y regardtel by all ranks, are here reflected hick in so many scintillations of affectionate remembrance, that his details, though written with the simplicity and the patience oF a soldier, excite and affect his readers with the power and M- C uence of eloquence and poetry. To attempt, therefore, to give any idea of the interest which this work is calculated to inspire by quotation, would be to act like the pedant, who produced a brick as a specimen of a palace. The style, like the manners of the author, is plain, but imbued with a pervading spirit of warmth and sincerity that at once begets confidence and respect. In the midst of all hie delightful and rontaetic anecdotes, we place the must perfect reliance in their veracity, and without knowing, in the perusal, when or wherefore the feeling arose, we proceed on in the work, participating and sharing, in the midst of our pleasure as mete readers the regret that mingles with the author's feelings as a Highlander, ill his unobtrusive and touching recitals of the departing virtues of his ancient and heroic countrymen. Perhaps few men were ever so well qualified for any task as Colonel &Ewe RT was for the one which he has here so well per formed. Natural ardour of character, hereditary sentiments, Carefully nourished in the midst of rementic scenery ; high mindedness, festered by entering a Highland regiment at an early age; ricn s of disposition, which, like its emblem, fire, begets itself, eea Inekes the friendship it fans as ardent as its own feelings; the faculty of attracting the affections of inferiors, and the ntainters that win the esteem of the great—all combined to bring Colonel STEWART into the preCise situations where he could but obtain and concentrate the various knowledge which be has here so interestingly brought together,and to enable him, without any apparent effort, to produce one of the most.authen tic and affecting works that has for many years issued from the press—we say apparent, because the modesty of the style and the simplicity of the arrangements may make the cursory reader imagine, at the first view, that it is but a compilation of recol lections ; a moment's inspection, Iniwever, will convince him that it is, in fact, the result of long, micute, and most intense appli cation, and that the traditionary and oral lore with which it is enriched, could only have been acquired by an industry and re search as potent and as constant as that which has brought toge ther so many historical, official, and regimental details.

The Public will recollect the distressing circum— stance of the Yarmouth Star Coach being overturned Scole, in February, 1821, by which Mr. Batter-, field, traveller for the Low Moor Iron-Works, was so seriously injured, that after lingering in great torture filr fifty-nine days, he died there on the 15th of April. In May last, the parties for whom Mr. Butterfield travelled wrote the following letter to Boyce and Co. " Low Moor Iron Works, near Bradford,. Yorkshire, ' May '22, 1821. " Gammon/I—We are only now enabled to ascertain the amount of the expenses incurred by us in consequence of the injury received by our late traveller, Mr. F. Butterfield; on the 15th day of February last, by the overturning of the Yarmouth Star Coach, at Scole Inn, near Diss, in Norfolk. The injury received on that day cause d the death of Mr. Butterfield on the 15th April last. A. there is no doubt but that the overturning of the coach was occasioned by the wilful negligence of the driver, we trust that you will readily repay to us the expenses incurred on account of this accident ; they amonnt to X 560: as. 6d. —The vouchers for the actual payment of this sum are in our possession, and we have no objection, if you wish it, to place them in the hands of any respectable Gentleman for your inspec tion. We would also hope that the deplorable situation of the widow of the late Mr: Butterfield and six young children, left completely unprovided for, will induce you to compensate in some degree for the serious loss which they have sustained—a loss which they must individually feel during life. We trust this appeal in behalf of the unfortunate family who are the sub- ject of it, will have the desired effect, and prevent their having recourse to any unple..slnt proceedings. " We are, Gentlemen, your's very respectfully, - "II I RD, D 4 WSON, TI A R DY, and FIELD." " Messrs. T. Boyce and Chaplain, Proprietors of the Yarmouth Star Coach, London." As the law provides no remedy for a widow under the circumstances in which Mrs. Butterfield was left, the coach proprietors took no notice of the above letter. The firm, therefore, for whom Mr. Butterfield travelled, brought an action against them, for the amount of the expenses at Scole, and the lass of hit services in their business. _ _ The plaintiffs proved the coach was overturned by the carelessness and negligence of the driver, and tlie defendants produced no witnesses to contradict them. In summing up, Baron RICHARDS, With gteat abi lity, stated the law, that the Jury could.only award such damages for the loss of service as combined the period of certain arrangements which it was proved the deceased had to fulfil ; but that he was of opinion the plaintiffs were entitled to a verdict. if the Jury believed the accident was occasioned by the miscon duct of the driver, and that they ought to state what amount they gave as damages for loss of service, and what for expenses, separately. The Jury, after a tew minutes deliberation, gave their " Verdict for the Plaintiffs ; the expenses, and £lOO for loss of service." BUCKS. HASSELL V.

Noble, to the Vicarage of Whalley, LancatEre. - The Rev. Francis Ellis, XA. to the Vicarage of Long Curry: ton. Warwickshire. This was an action to set aside the will of the late George Has sell, of Cholesbury, Esq. in thi: County of Bsieks, by insanity. Mr. G. Hassell had bequeathed the whole of his property to two attorules in London, Messrs. Atkinsion and Parkinson. In 1814, he (Mt. Hassell) made his will, leaving the bulk of his property as above, on condition that they should allow his sister. who was in a bad state of health, a comfortable annuity, and left the heir at law (the plaintiff) one shilling only. Mr. SCAS LETT, for the defendants, commenced by enumerating the different offices the late ?sir. Hassell had filled—the responsi bility he had been under—and wonld bring witnesses to prove that money to the amount of 10,000,0001. had passed through his hands, and at settling his accounts, after filling the office with punctuality some years, had money due to him. He was capable also to fill the office of I tisk Sheriff of the County of Bucks; and he would prove to them that he was al competent to do business at the time his will was made as any ene present. Several let ters were here read, which were written in a superior manner, and had nothing in them to indisate insanity. In most of these he made his sister the chief object of his care and affections. The Learned Counsel allowed that within the last day or two of his life, he was in a state of temporary derangement ; but what was it owing to? To being inkrmed by the witness Rumsey, his surgeon, that he did net expect his sister, his only care at earth, to live :24 hours. Was that a surprising thing ? Very respectable witnesses were called, among whom wore the Duke of BUCKINCHAM, Mr. RICKPORD, the lion. CHAS. Yoder, &c. who said that they should slot, at any part of Mr. Ilassell's life, have hesitated for a single moment to witness the will, and were never more surprised than at hearing of the manner or his death. The Rev. Mr. Owen, on the part of the plaintiff, said, that from 1818, to the time of his death, his state of mind was bordering on insanity. He was with him at Mr. Moore's, near Berkhamstead, when he came into his (Owen's) bed room, between four and five o'clock in autumn, seven or eight years ago, and said he would not be kept in prison, and was ted helping through the window ; he got through ; but witness lay still in bed. Ile went to Berkhainstead, and returned at nine. At another time he took him into a wood, and producing a pis tol, said " this is tho way to decide quarrels." Witness knocked it out of his hand, tired it off, and threw it into a dell. A Bar rister named Jervis had made ass illegal attack on character, in a trial at Monmouth; he asked witness's opinion about seed ing him a challenge, and be th.mght that quite sufficient toprove that he was a madman.—Mr. Horwood, stewaid to Mr. llasiell, on being asked whe:her lie was mad, admitted it; but did not mean that he had lost his senses, but merely because he g ave too much for a horse or cow somotimes.—Benjamin Puddifoot, un der-bailiff, said he thought him not right, as he had ordered him to pansp the fish-pond dry; and when he saw the frogs at bot tom, he said," curse you, &A— never made you stare so."— Mr. Osborne, hair-dresser, of Aylesbury, said hefrequently came to his shop to be shaved; sometimes would shave himself. I las come down stairs with his handkerchief undone, and said if he had staid longer he should have cut his throat. The Counsel on both sides addressed the Jury at considerable length, when the Judge summed up the evidence, as.d the Jury returned a verdict for the defendants, thereby establishing the will.

The gestures of the indignant Islasselman were understex,d, and his book remained inuouched by the hands of nub:Revere. When he was desired by the in terpreter to swear, hu lifted his eyes towards fixavrN, with a solemn seriousness, as if addreasing a short and silesit prayer to Alla, after which he opened his.

The most deadly poisons, such as arse tile, corrosive sublimate, sugar of lead, Ike. have not caused half the number of untimely deaths, within the same period of time, as this comparatively mild, .though dangerous, chemical prepa ration. The reason is obvious. The .former poisons resemble nothing else sold by the Apothecary, and are therefore not likely to he mistaken; besides that, they are not sold but knowingly, and for desperate uses: she latter, from the facility with which it is obtained in any quantity from the druggist, is in common use among ignorant persons, servants and others, for cleaning leather, Rte. It is, indeed, inconceivable that this mistake should occur even under the most remiss inattention on the part of the seller. Oxalic acid should not he sold but in very small quan tities ; a quarter of an ounce at a time, for instance ; and should be always kept secure and apart from all other drugs. It is dan gerous rather by excess in quantity than specifically poisonous: and, in this view, it is in some degree analogous (but more in degree of danger) to the nitrate of potass, or saltpetre—a salt, the pure chrystals of which bear searly the same similarity to those of the sulphate of soda, or glauber salt; as the oxalic chrys tals bear to those of Epsom salt. No chemist is mdrally, or le gally excusable, who can be guilty of so flagrant an error as to issue oxalic acid, or any other deadly poison, by 'lsis:sac for an other article; or to leave it in the power, or discretion, of any 1 1 tyro in his shop to do the like.—When a person has unfortu nately swallowed oxalic acid, water, or lime• water, should be drank freely, and vomiting produced instantly, by a feather. l pushed down the throat, until the contents of the stomach are entirely evacuated. Calcined magnesia and copious diluents should then be given. If magnesia is not at hand, chalk and water, or soap and water, should be substituted, its considerable quantities, or as long as the irritation continues. Persons who are in the habit of buying oxalic acid should keep it in a small phial closely corked up, and marked" Poison," and should, more over, put it in a secure place, instead of leaving it loosely in a payer parcel, within the reach of children or servants. ASSIZES. LEICESTER, MARCH 29. CHAOGE OF POISONING. William Barnett, charged with the wilful murder of Mary Barnett, his late wife, at Ullesthorpe, on the 20th of September, 1821, by poisoning her with arse nic, took his trial yesterday. He purchased the arse nic at a druggist's shop in this town, on the Saturday, taking a man along with him whAm he accidentally met, and who inquired for what purpose he wanted it ; he replied it was not for himself, but for a neigh bour, who wanted it to destroy some. rats. On the Monday following his wife, who was a milliner and staymaker, and in the habit of going to the different villages to dispose of her goods, found herself very unwell ; being somea hat better after breakfast, she set off on her journey, and the prisoner accompanied her as far as High Cross, where, on her calling upon one of her customers, she was again taken ill and fainted away. The poor woman daily grew worse till the Sunday following,when she died in the great est agony. The prisoner is supposed to have been induced to commit the horrid murder in consequence of an unfortunate attachment to a sister of the de ceased ; and it is worthy of remark that, notwith standing he defeated the ends of justice for several months, by avoiding the eye of the Police, he was, at a moment when he felt himself perfectly secure, recognised by a little boy, who accidentally met him at Woodstock, in Oxfordshire. The Jury found him Guilty, and he was ordered for execution to-morrow—(Saturday last.) SURREY. HAMMOND V. THE INHABITANTS OF WOKING. This was an action against the inhabitants of the Hundred of Woking, to recover a compensation for an injury sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of the destruction of certain stacks of hay, &c. It appeared in evidence that the plaintiff, a Clergy ma.), resides at Wigglesham, near Bagshot, within the Hundred of Woking. Alter his family had re tired to rest on thesth of May last, they were alarmed about twelve o'clock by a cry of fire. It was imme diately discovered that the plaintiff's hay and straw stacks were on fire, and burning with rapidity. Con siderable damage was done before the fire was sub dued. Several elm trees were literally burnt to the very roots, and others so much scorched as to stop 'their growth. By the intrepid and active exertions of the neighbours, who procured a fire-engine from the Duke of Gloucester's Lodge, the flames were prevented from communicating with the plaintiff's dwelling : but their progress was not stopped until some outbuildings were destroyed. Upon examining' the cause of the flames, no doubt could be enter tained that they originated in the diabolical design of some incendiary. It was observed that the stacks of hay and straw were on fire at different places, and in such spots as to remove all supposition that the fire was accidental. The usual notices having been given by the plaintiff's attorney, under the Black Act, 9th of Gen. I. upon which this action was founded, the plaintiff, after having in vain endeavoured to discover the perpetrators of the offence, now sought a com pensation against the Hundred for the injury sus tained. The sum sought to be recovered was £193, which included .the injury done to the trees. Witnesses were called to prove the manner in which the injury was committed, and the amount of loss occasioned by it. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction, found their verdict for the plaintiff— Damages £lB7, excluding the value (six pounds) of the trees injured and destroyed. M.'RRITD.
