ROr.a rNSTITUTIO.Y. Oo S iturday. tat two o'cl.)ck, the Rev. SsfoNzy S , tit is delivered a very ingenious and f o rcible ler tore, on the reasoning facilities of nasiouls, in the coarse of which he chewed, that nun, thon;Th Lir superior to animals is this distinguished qualifica tion, chiefly derives that superiority trom his power of speech, his longevity. ant the peculiar delicacy and texture of his hands. itu began by assuming the plain and general propoNition, " that allkeitiS have reasoning faculties;" and, in support of it, he quoted beverAt passages from the works of Me. Loom Dr. lisaTtev, Dr. Rein, and other nem writers on Moral Philosophy, who all speak most decidedly on the subjeft. He then instanced an observation made by the celebrated Naturalist Auroras, who tells us that be had paid most patti cuter attention to the mode and manner in which those diminutive animals, fiold-mice, provide for their wants, and comfier to support themselves and their young, during the inclemency of the winter. He described the manner in which they Witted their little mansions within the ground; the regular divisions they make of different apartments, some of which they este for their own irnnsediats use and occupancy, and the other as store-houses for the grain, &c. which they lay in for their subsistence, in which they exhibit a degree of sagacity and taste in domestic economy, which borders strongly on the efforts of man, in the rudest state of nature. From these diminutive animals, he proceeded to notice some of a larger size, and, from their imitative faculties, approaching nearer to our ow,] species. He related from a Freuch author, whose name we , could not distindly hear, an anecdote of an ape, that was in his possession, and that he used to amine himself by feeding with walnuts, and &nerving the tricks and fancies he made use of during the time of his repast. 0-se day he tiappene." to throw down the walnuts, so that they were out of the reach of the animal. th.o was fastened by a chain; he made two or t:tree at tempts, to reach them, in vain, and was most wist fully eyeing the luturious dainties, when a feouvran passing by with a napkin under his arm, the ape seized the napkin, threw it out till he had swept all the walnuts within his reach, and then flung the towel to the servant from whom lie had snatched it. The Reverend Lehner then proceeded to notice the docility and sagacity of another animal of still great er magnitude, viz. the elephant There were, he said, the most undoubted authorities, of many en stances of their enmity, which almost exceeded credibility. In many parts of Asia, the Blacks. when they go from home, leave their infant childreto as it were, under the care and proteßion of this ex traordinary animal, which they keep tied to a post, and they place the children on the ground very near to him. The attentive and sagacious creature will watch them with the utmost care. and when they crawl about, and he sees them g-sting too far, he stretches out his proboscis, pulls then] towards him in the gentlest manner, and so gives them fresh scope for the renoral th tt exercise which alone they ate capable of taking. Asother instance was that which we have often heard before, but which rn ty, per haps, not be the case with many of our readers. In a great town or city of the Eastern world, an ele phant was walking through the streets to drink in the river. As he passed along, there was a tailor sitting on itie shopboatd, making a suit of deaths fee a . 1 1 gch:t of Nine 'cads, in the first stile of Eastern magnificence. Attratted by the splendour of the sight, the animal looked in at the window, and the uncourteous and inhospitable tailor pricked Isis pro boscis with his needle. The animal, in his useaf gait, slowly, but indignant, proceeded to the river, where, having satisfied his thirst, he filled his trunk with muddy water, and, as 1w repassed the shop, emptied it upon the fagot, who was nearly drowned with the torrent, and had to make good the costly suit, which was entirely spoiled. Such an instance of quick resentment, and speedy, as well as appro priate revenge, could hardly be exceeded by the mast whimsical humourist, or most acute. reasoner of our own species. He then adverted to the great sagacity in dogs, that eery freqactoty found the:7- way across a country of sixty or eiwity miles in tent, which they had never seen hut once, .. which could only be dotes by the very extract. di nary attention I ley paid to every particular b.rh, gate, house, tree, lee. as they passed, Ltd witch their retentive memory, one of the strong.tst parts of the reasoning faculty in man, enabled - theta to recolle& again. Having given these instances, he proceeded to state, that he conceived one of the first causes of the superiority of man arose .from the power of speech, another from his longevity, and a still greater from the familiar delicacy and forma tion of his hands. For if man's life had been limit ed to twenty years, his improvements would, in all likelihood, have been very few; and iflis hands had not enabled him to smelt meals, and thus pro cure their diffusion, he would have been very little superior to the wild and untutored savage. Ano ther cause of man's superiority was, his gregarious disposition, and that innate desire of the society n' his fellow creatures. A lion lit sin a hole under a huge rock, and if another lion should pass by he would get up and fight him. If man wets to do the Same. and to get up and box every ether mar., he saw their state of improvement would be lisle more than that of animals Besides, the wisest philosophers and most rolebrated writers were agreed, that most animals have a social turn as well a. man ; and though they have not the faculty of speech, they have curtain symbols, by which they communicate with, and understand each other. No deubt could therefore remain, that animals possess reasoning faculties, ilsou„s.h in a mose in ferior degree to man. Those faculties were given them by the Great Creator, for the wisest and bus: purposes, to render them more useful and snbser vien: to man ; and those who thought it necessary to support the cause of revealed religion, and the glorious and divine dottrine of the immortality of the soul, to deny the possession of reasoning facul ties to animals, were, in his opinion, widely mis taken; and he spas afraid, that, by such advocates, religion would receive more real injury from pro fessed friend;, than it ever could from open and avowed enemies. The Theatre was exceedingly crowded with la dies and gentlemen of the first rank, fashion, and beauty, who paid the deepest attention. '1 he street was, frum end to end, full of elegant carriages.

This was an et:l ro ion bu tto reeiover demure, against the Defendants, for the negligeece of their coachman. The Plaintiff was a respeetable linen-draper resid ing in BedfordSury, and the Defendants were opu le t coach-owners. It appeared. that in A neost last the Plaintiff watt returning, to town from an :annual journey of busi ness, as an outside passenger, on the Derby coach, belonging to the Defendants. At four o'clock in the morning, they stopped at a village called Hor ton Park., in Northampton, for the purpose of change ing horses ; and, upon setting off again, some of the passengers perceived that the coachman was SOMtWilAt inebriated. They had not gone very far, at the rate of about five miles an hour, when the driver beean to dose, and the reins slackened in his hands ; the horses immediately crossed the road, which was very broad, and ran the off-wheels upon a b ink two feet high ; the carriage, being heavy helm, was instantly nverset, and the Plaintiff thrown off to a considerable distance; his leg was broken, and he was o:herwise much injured. The other passengers escaped with slight bruises ; the Plaintiff .vas carried to a neighbouring inn, where he wai. eleven weeks confined to his bed. From the evidence of Mr. Harding, the surgeon, es nepeared, that the Plaintiff had received a corn p-anid fr _attire in his leg, which required the utmost skill and attention ; ezfolietions were crintinually taking pl ice, and he continued in a very doubtful state, tur a length of time ; the injury altogether was No great, that, in all probAisaity, he would ne ver regain the use of the bath, and Nould be under the necessity of using crutches for the remainder of his life. The expenses of medical assistance, nurses, Cm cost hire upwards of 1001. The Sotierroa-GenLRAL shortly addressed the Jury on behalf of the Defendants ; he urged some matters in palliation, as he considered no personal blame could attach to them. He called no witnesses. Lord ELLENBOROUOII. in summing up the evi dence to the Joey, observed that the law very pro perly, in all cases, held masters responsible and liable t'Jr the negligence or carelessness of their servants.

Tlit ICING T. 11 , 1/IY. 'lbis was an indiament for a conspiracy. chug ing the Defendant, a respedable boot and shoe. maker, in St. James's-street. with forwarding the views of several journeymen boot-makers, who had (what is generally termed) struck work, in order to compel their masters to raise their wages. On the part of the prosecution, Mr. Grimmer, in opening the case, animadverted with great severity upon the conduCt of those journimest who had car ried on unlawful combinations. lie adverted tn the prosecutions at Clerkenwell, the Sessions before last, of which we have given full repo:tale tomer papers, and said that all these illegal proceedings had been countenanced and assisted by the Defendant, Mr. Hotly. The only evidence for the prosecution were two journeymen boot-closers, whom the Defendant had discharged from his service. Ou their cross exami natian, however, it appeared that he had not dis charged them with it view to countenance combina tions, !,int to secure to himself the services of other journeymen, who would not work if these two men, who had refused to agree with their propositions, were not discharged. It appeared from the evidence of a clerk, belong ing to the journeymen, that their combination was of a very extensive nature, as they had regular Committees, Delegates, &c. Lard ELLE% BOROUGH, in addressing the Jury, declavd, chat if ever a case came before him wherein persons had been conviEted of this very heinous of fence, they should be punished with the utmost seve rity. With respell to the present case, there was no proof whatever that the Defendant had at all counte nanced the combination; he had merely discharged those men, to prevent his business om being wholly negleSed ; end it might as well be sai I, that a man, who b I given up his purse to a highwayman, when attacked, was the abettor of his crime. The Jury, without hesitation, acysiiited the Dz fendant. The Soucrrna-GeNteA c. expressed a wiih that the Court would assist him in a case of a stniiiar ita turz, which had been laid before him. Several journeymen had, one atter another, pone to their masters, and each asked him fur an increase of wages; the request was refused, amt .hey a!1 gave notice of quitting his employment, en the fol lowing day. He had been called upon to give bis opinion, whether this was an alt of combination, and he had declared it was Lord Et.t.Lis so itouria said, he perfeitly coincided with the Learned SOL Ie; RAL. that such conduit was clearly an at of combination.
