A r a g paper, conducted with respectable talent, beads its a so n to-day with an article (roman amazing first literary g b a gecte r r of the dey, a pretty long eslogiurn upon the deceased fudleman. The enlightened none Mho conduct the daily evening press, have sounded similar strains. Let es, i I otse all, look at the man as he was, and estimate Lim ac., mmHg to the praise they bestow; the bonbon of which b, that be made to himself a large fortune ; that be was an ' amiable man; that he was a profound political economist; say, a perfect character; and will be ranked (so says the ltieuide) " with those who Lave given renown to the ' • ivy greatest names in the history of moral and political s. science." Now, this is perfect twaddle. The writer meant to say that "Mr. Rirardo's name would be renowned o slug with those who have advanced moral and political a ' science ;"—so much for this effusion " from the pen of ' one of the first names in English literature." • Mr. Ricardo's father was, if I recollect aright, a member of the Jewish peculation, who early in life conformed to the'llChurch of England ; and after making a considerable fortune by traffic in securities, public and private, and in foreign exchanges, left three of his sons in affluent dream stances. Well. there may be merit in that. One of those was was some three years back, if he is not even now, a erpectable medical man, at Bow, in Middlesex. and gas for dip mot twenty-five years in affluent circum. stances. 'hr. Ricardo, the economist, came into life With st emitrtest fort une, and was educated from the egg s o the seiMme gooney making. As to his being the four . '&4 of his own fortune, it is not precisely the fact ; for ha earns to the public market with a competent fortune, or sum of-meney derived from his father, to speculate in securities p l aned by a daring and profligate Minister, and his sec (so ars; securities which pledged the taxes drawn from the lilmour of the many. to the few who could advance a part, and take the chances of the Stock Market ' fir a pr,s. fit, an usurious profit, upon the remainder of the loans they sutscribed to. Had there not have been thousands of IL cantos, there bad not bees one Mister Pitt! This then was the Chronicle's " field of intense compe tition: in which Mr. Iticatdo more than quadrupled the amount of his original, nut insignificant fortune. Why, what of that, as extraordinary merit ! Is not this field of intense competition," the field in which "many warciore. weeny mighty men of Israel" have fought with equal gam tf nut equal renown? tih! but Mr. Ricardo was a very amiable man! With, 500,0001. at a man's command, it is wonderfully easy to be amiable, and to he beloved. It was Mr. Ricardo a interest to be beloved; anal as the founder of a family. he has the merit of having been truly respectable in his line.

The earriagi ways, as well as the ways of men and wo os*, la the metropolis, have long and each required &Mend mast; aid it is consoling to observe that 16 attempt at last Li making to introduce something like a Risdivti Re firm, it kut in the construction of the former, , Is the narrow Part of Wych Street; a thoroughfare mdcb freektret 'ad lay coal wa,ggosis and other beery vehicles, the expert merit wis tried last year of a granite stone rail-way ; but the stones, being those commonly need for kirbs, proved too shallow for their length, laud were soon sunk irregu larly; in many places, by the weight of the wheels. Last week those stones were removed, and otbets of tin same kind placed in their stead, about 2 feet 6 inane long, 16 inches deep, and 2 feet wide. These wispy about two-thirds of the carriage way; !raving the middle in which the horses tread to be paved with the usual sized granite skink, which can be mote readllf taken up when the pipes beneath them need repair, To disturb the massive stones that form the rail-way, will not be a light or, nil matter, not cinly On accciunt of their weight, bat from the extent of the surfaces of their ends, which come in contact with each other; and wedge each other in; as well as from the proportion which their length bears to their breadth and depth. The carriage-way in St. James's Sqoase, though not yet finished, is in a forward state of preparation, according to the plan of Mr. PtPAdam; and if Parliament-street be treated in the same manner, as, according to report it soon will be, this plan to which we heartily wish success, will be fairly pot to the test, and, a chance afforded of fa cilitating the draught of carriages and diminiehing noise in the streets. Some doubts, however, are entertained, whether this substitnte for pavement, will suit the constant traffic and heavy carriages of the metro polis; and till the small stones become consolidated into one mass, such inconveniences as are stated in the annexed extract from the Newcastle paper, may, in a much greater degree, be apprehended in London. On the roads in Scot land, from which Mr. M'Adam took his hint, the traffic being comparatively small, and the carriages light, these materials answer well. There, no sewers, nor gas or water pipes, require the ground to be broken up for repairs, as in town; and, independent of the greater wear sod tear from the vehicles of the metropolis, it is to be feared the disturbance of the materials on these occasions, which frequently occur, will protlnce patches and irregularities in the road, and prove the source and feat of mud every rainy , day, and throughout every winter. To prevent three inconveniences and preserve uniformity in the work,a'new set of superintendentsoinst he appointed; and from their creation and their salaries, it may be apprehended that the end of all the work will be a jab. It is hoped the plan, which is worth atrial, will not he exposed to the satire which was applied nn the alteration of the pavement of the strette,about 3 seri re years ago.accoriling to the form of the High Street of Edinburgh. That alters lion was introduced during the administration of Lord Bate; who, it was altered, introduced, about the same pe riod, an undue proportion of his countrymen intoj des and places; and the coincidence, j .ined with the circumstance of the removal of the pasts that need to stand at the edge of the foot paths. to make way for the kirb stones, gave oc casion far the f..lluning epigram :"-- " The new-fashioned pavements deser Aug of praise; " We're ohliged to the Scotch for amending our ways : " But for what we can never forgive them some say, " Is—that they have taken our roars all away." The paragraph in the Newcastle Chronicle, alluded to above, is as follows: — It has been determined to take ap the pavement in Dean street, and suhmitote for it a road made upon the plan of Mr. bl'Adam, who is now in this neighbourhood. On Wednesday this operation wee beenn ; end the paving stones were removed from a space of 20 or 33 feet broad, and reaching quite across the street at its foot, and their place cspptie.l with whinstonos broken small ; horses Rod much difficulty in dragging coaches and carts through it ; this difficulty, we antirehenit, will I render it necessary to carry the change into e ff ec t b y de g rees only. to THE CANAL IN Sr. JAMte's PARK.—Monday morning, the men commenced for the first time to draw off the ewer in the Canal. St. James's Park, into the sewer, in order to carry it off upon a level with the ri•pr, which will be effected in a few days, when the steam-engine will be brought into operation to draw it completely off. The whole apparatus of the latter is now completed and fixed. but there arc some hands still at work in covering it over and finishingthe brick-work. Navigators are employed in clearing the Canal and making room for the stream to flow with greater rapidity; the mud on each side being carried off by barrows. Scicioe.—.Abont seven o'clock on Friday morning last, a decent young woman, of the name of Ann Johnson, whO kept a shop at Chepstow, was found suspended by a small cord in the apartment in which she lived. By a paper found on the show counter, written by herself, it appeared that a breach of promis- of marriage was the cause that led so the desperate and awful act. An inquest was held on the body, and the verdict was—Destroyed herself under great depression and agitation of mind. FORTVNE Tsumn.—A woman whose husband has at tended Hanley and the neighbouring markets with spec tacles, Sac. and who conjointly took their abode at a lodg ing !loose in Hanley. some time since, so far ingratiated herself into the good graces of Mr. Joseph Ridgway, mer cer, of that place, as to obtain on Wednesday afternoon week, an introtitiction to an up stairs room for the purpose of practising the sibvline art. Nothing could be done, however, until the following articles were provided :-25 If. notes, 25 hairs of Mr. IL's head, 23 pins, 25 neeriles,aud 25 cards : two mould candles were also to be lighted and placed on the table. 'these mystifying preliminaries , Were at length completed, and Mrs. R. was directed to pay par ticular attention to what she (the enchantress) said, • tura backwards towards me.' This position, not very favourable for inspect q, excited Milfething of fear i o Mrs. R.'s mind for the salty of her no•es,and owning her bead,she thoaght sonse operation touching the said notes was going foriverd, and she instantly lefithe room to fetch Mr. It.

They immediately searched her, but uo notes could be founds nor has she yet given any account. It t : supposed by some, that her nos. band was waiting outside, and whilst Mrs. Ridgway was out of the loom, she threw the notes (which Were made into a little roll) to him. They were both taken before a Magistrate. and romotitted to gaol, for " pretending to tell-fortunes," to deceive and impose upon Adn Ridgway. of Hanley; and James Itoitirgh, her husband, has also been comtnitp.l for receiving 2llf. thus fraudulently obtained.

The followinc representa.ion on the subject, from the Jury who tried the case , appears in the last Cork Papers : TO THE EDITOR 0? THE SOUTHERN REPORTER. SIR—As Members of the Jury who tried the case of the King, at the prosecution of Shinnor n. Vivian and Majeu die, which was reported in your paper of Saturday last, we feel it our duty, from what has since taken place, in re ference to that trial, to address you thus publicly on the subject. It was stated, and we say truly stated, at the font of the report, that the Assistant Barrister threatened to commit one of the Jury, (.n fact the threat was made to more than one) who complained, on the part of his Brethren, and him self, of a flagrant outrage that had been committed on them by the Traversers, as they were retiring from the Court, after handing in their verdict. How the fact of this threat, which was made in a public Court, could meet with denial, and that from " authuriiy," is a matter that cannot fail of rxeiting surprise. " that authority," we presnure, was the Barrister himself; and it is strange that though that Oentleman had gone in person to explain the circumstances at three Newspaper Offices in this city, a dif ferent version of these facts appeared in the succeeding number of each of these papers. We felt it our bounden duty, forming as we did an essential part of a Court of Jos tire,and outraged as welted been,for having conscientiously discharged an irksome, though important public duty, on our oaths, to lay the case before the highest authority in the land ; and this faet having been made public, we are not surprised that the Barrister should feel anxious toshew that he hash not conducted himself in an absolute manner towards a Jury of his Court. What are the real facts? We, Traders and Citizens of Cork, and (with the exception of two of us) not Freehold ers of the County, some by accident, and others having been summoned there as witnesses, go into the County Ses sions Court, are there verbally summoned to attend as Jurors, and, to accommodate the Court, we consent to be plated on a Jury. We did not agree on the case for some time, and when we did, there was no authority in Court to take our verdict. And it was with no stuall degree of asioni'slitneitt that we heard that the Court had adjourned to the following morning, and that we must remain there for the right. We were now sent bark to our room, where we had to ray !warty two hours longer, without a candle; when, at length, about half-past 10 o'clock, through the exertions of the Sheriff and the Clerk of tire Peace, Mr. Hobson came into Court, and. with the consent, truly, of the Traverser', (who had been allowed to go to a Tavern, unattended by aey officer of the Court, though yet on their trial, and whilst no kind of feeling was had fur the Jury,) took our verdict. We, recollecting that the affray had happened after dinner, and in kindness to the. Traversers, recommended them to the consideration of the Court, in reply to which, in the presence of the Barrister, and unchecked by him, they used gross and insulting language towards the Jury, and on retiring from the Court, charged them (the Jury) with being; " lrhiteboys, Rebels, and Perjurers."—Unacquainted with (urine of Law, lit having been ordered to attend the Court In the morning, *Ye did so, and, on some of our names being called over, one of our body stated, in a respectful manner, to the Court the con duct of the Traverser', and claimed its protection. The protection we received was the threat of fine and imprison ment It is in vain for any " authority" to seek to mince the matter, as the fact can be verified by the oaths df re spectable men. Whit was the consequence? When we found ourselves thus contemned, we left the Court, refusing to co-operate-with that " authority," which, in our persons, lessened its own dignity.—And it is remarkable, that, in passing sentence on the Traversers, the Assistant Barrister never once hinted at their outrageous conduct towards the Jury. Need we add, that we were otter strangers to the parties ostensibly concerned in the trial. The " authority" to which you have alluded has added, that the Court was occupied at the time with business of unusual importance. The fact rests on as bad fonndation as the rest ; for the only business then going forward was the calling over a Jury; and as to the altercation between one of the Jury and the Traverser' ' it consisted simply in the Jurytuan's assert ing that he was as loyal a man as any other in the Court. We now leave it to the Public to judge, a hether protec tion bad or had not been shown to the aggressors, and aot to the party aggrieved, in these proceedings. We are, Sir, your obedient servants, Andrew MacAulitfe, Samuel Krays, N. Fits Perla, William Power, Minton Connell, Bartholomew Purcell, John Byrne, John Ruble.
