ROBBERIES IN LINCOLNSHIRE. At the Quarter Sessions for the city of Lincoln, on Saturday se'intight, Thomas Labor's. and George • od Itiehotd were convicted of as most trotal and unprovoked assault on Mr. Halley, $ I:spectable traveller, from Hull. en Sundry night the 18th of.

They were sentenced to sit ottooths' imprisonment. and a fine of 101. each. • en other youths, their companions, William and Iletft'ord Russet:, were acquitted, the Prosecutor out being able to identify theins • most daring robbery was cssaroosittesl is the night of Wednesday the 20th ult. et the Worts or Feely House, near Lincoln, belonging to Mr. Clarke, by three men. About midnight the old ve opt e who occupy the house were •larsysed by the breaking of a prise of glass in a window, the shatter of which the villains bad bored with a large Iniu tist, nod thus succeeded in onifastening it. With v.ttlent iinprecations they then demanded money, threatening to murder the inmates of the house if vie demand was not promptly complied with. A! ter some time. intimidated by horrid threats, Alan. Clarke gave the ruffian out st the window a porse containing about 4/. in silver, the receipts of t:e retry. Not content with this. they insisted own' having a larger sum; but after using much Lad language, made off with what they had obtain ed. The _voice of one of the nieu was familiar to Nlrs. Clarke ; and. as if fearful of being ro,cog ii.sed, that person kept back and spoke bat little. It is hoped this circurnsterce may lead to a dis covery of the perpetrators of the outrage. A few nights after the above robbery, a form hoitse in the same neighbourhood was attempted, it is supposed by the same gang. The mistress of the house was sitting up for her son. and hearing s violent push •1 the window, she supposed it to Le by him, and called out to him to come in, at the same time Noticing the lateness of the pout. The oche at the window being reptestesl, she jo cosely observed. " he had • mind to break isito the house." Her nice awaked her husband, who had previously gont to bed; and he suspecting from the former robbery that thieves were breaking into the house. seized his gun sod came down . stairs. The villains. finding the family were alarm ed, decamped. The husband on going out saw three men running across the fields, and pursued them for some way, but ineffectually. A robbery was committed on Friday evening the Stiid ultimo, about eight o'clock, on the highway between Huttoft and Sutton. upon Mr. J. Thosope sun, a local preacher, of the latter place, by two 'lieu dressed in *hurt blue slops and white trousers.

'CABOT v. ADAMS. This was a cave of some interest. in consequence of the novelty of this species of action in this city. and occupied the Court until a laie hour yrstrrd.y. It was an action on the case brought by the Plait). tiff. who is a respectable salesman in Petrick-street. against the Defendant. a respectable import mer chant, for the loss and injury he rusiained. in con sequence of his sociable bring upset from the negli gent driving of the Defendant's servant, es it was alleged, by which his wife's arm was broken, 'mil she was utherwi.ie much injured. The dastmges were laid at (2001. Counsellor O'ltanate opened the pleadings on behalf of the Plaintiff, by tomtit% the nature of the action, sod the amount at which the damages were laid ; and Counsellor O'Cowset.t. opened the ewe. and gave a clear and succinct narrative of the trans action which occurred, and for which the ittermit action was brought. There were a member of witnemta examined at both video, and taut+ contrariety of einclesice was exhibited. We shall, therefore, only give • brief outline of the occurrence, alth o u g h we had taken *nettle notes of the evidence. and leave to others the task of filling it up. It appeared that the Plaintiff sad his family. coo testing of himself, Mn.v Aboy. and three children, with -w-Mier Oserietr, - were driving bite town front Blsckrock, in a sociable, on Sunday. the Itth Sep tember last, about twelve o'clock ; that unmedi ately after turning the corner of the South hair. mare, on the flat part of the road, which ass then newly repairing, the sociable came in contact with an empty jaunt's% car of the Defendant, driven by his black servant. and which was rettirnicg to Blackrock„ after loraviug the Defendant and his fa mily in Rutland -street„ at the house of his brother; that in comegoience of this collision between the two vehicles, sod the hard driving of one or both the seroants, the sociable-of the Plaintiff was upset, and himself and his family. with Miss O'Brien, thrown about the rood. as it was stated by one of the witnesses. Mrs. 51 4 Altoy hod her arm broken and her thigh injured ; the Plaintiff had his arm, loop, and *boulder hurt. mid Miss O'Brien and the children fit ately escaped without soy injury. Mrs. M'Aboy was taken into the lutirmery, where luckily Dr. IVoodroffe was in attendance, and re. ceived i eeee neduately such asoistance ad this gentle man's medical and surgical skill afforded. The sociable wait much damaged. the springs were broke'', and the wheels and axletree driven to tome distance, whilrt the jaunting-car of the Defendant received no injuty„ and was driven off by the black servant immediately after. Such is r brief datetatent of the transaction—but. from the contradictory testimony of treend of the witnesses. it was 'extremely difficult to ascertain which driver WOO in fault. 'llse witnesses uu the part of the Plaintiff (and they were pretty tiunireutis oo boil§ >idol) stated, that Mr. Nl.Alsny's sociable was driving at a mo derate rate ; that the driver kept, as he should 4 1,., close to the lefi-haud side of the road ; that the black retired of the Defendant was driving at a very quick pace, and that Mrs, M.Alroy called out to him, and made a plppi with her hind to drive easy, before the vehiclescame in contact ; whilst the witnesses on the part of the Defendant appeared equally confident, that the sociable of the PI • .rf was drivirst at an unusual quick rate round the corner, and down the descent that terminates at the Infirmary ; and that it kept the middle of the rued, ruttier the left.lissid side. It was also very difficult to ascertain the precise spot where the occurrence took place, as some of the witnesses stated it to have happened near the patients' door of the Infirmary, and others at some yards nearer the corner of the House of Industry. There were examined on the pert of the Plain tiff, Miss O'Brien, who was is the sociable when it was broken down; het sister, a lady who was walking into town from Blackrock, and with whom Mr. ki..4r,oy and family catered into cooversatiou the road near where the transaction occurred ; the driver, who drove the soctable; Mr. Troyer*, of the terrace, who saw the 'stew of the vehicle after it was damned ; and Dr. Ik t oodroffe, who attended, and still intends, Mrs. M•Aboy, for this calamitous ~ .

On Sitorilav moron% a melancholy accident happened in Kell. near Whiteliiiven, by an explosion of fire-damp, in which twenty persons were unfortunately killed. We are informed that it was a isn't unexpected occurrence, every re cension having been used, and an excellent venti lation regularly preserved. The explosion proceed ed from a part afire workings w here the pillars are beiii t ; removed, and where the atmospheric air was ft.reetl over the broken parts as much as possible. The overlookers and workmen had orders to examine daily whether illy tire.damo existed in this part of the pit, end uo rio occasion had soy been per ceiv.il. It is ornit of the regulations in the Whitehaven collieries, that no hewer shall approach his *cult without a nary or Sqfety Lump ; and with one he m ay * lo'o7 explore, let the qoamity of tire-damp be what it may. The present lativeutable event was the eye airquence of this regotattott lint being ob served ; and possibly the iiidiscretion of one indivi dual led to the catastrophe. These workings in Pit have been quite free from tire-damp, and on Friday evening they were left in "'opposed safety.—lmpressed with the ides ,t 1 s total absence of danger, workmen become more adseoturons; and are apt to consult their own convenience in the utter neglect of rules fram ed for genehl benetit.—Sir admirable lamp, if kept is order, is perfect security to the mints.

Fatal as has been this ac cident, bad it occurred an hour later, more per sons would probably have suffered, es a great many of the work p-ople *tilos pit had not assembled. Two men were taken out alive on Monday morn. inK. after having remained in the pit above thirty six hours, exruerd to the noxious vapour occasioned by the explosion. and probably owe their lives to having upon them gond flannel shirts. which in a great degree preserved them from the fire, and kept them warm afterwards. These two persons, with live others, had retreated into some old worktrigs, where the sir was lees impure, but their compa nion' did not smelts.; and when found, had no shisto upon them, and for went of covering may have perished by cold.

It was front the works of the Latin whim, which had survived thr crick of the respire, that 'lndents sought to acquire the principal portion of their knowledge; but b. the smote of mtdicise, sad the more abstruse its -1,1111,:111 ions of the mathematic*, the •nciewie were believed tuft-riot to the Mohammedan teachers; anti many an Log lishmaii, during the reicu of Drury, wandered as far as the bouts of the Ehro io Spoilt, that hr might listen to the is. strorti. ms, or translate the winks, of the Arabian phthaeo• Own.. To the praise of the Popes, it must be said, that eves in the middle ngcs, they were generally attentive to the in terests of learning. The first wthools hail been established in monestries and cathedrals by the seal of their respective prelates: that they were perpetuated and improved, cm owing to the regoletious limited by dim rent Pontiffs. But now the ancient seminaries began to be reelected fur others opened by men, slut sought fur wealth and distindion by the public display of that:. abilities; and who established their schools who there was a prospect of attracting disciples. The new professors were 91100 animated with a spirit of competition, which, while it sharpened their facul ties, perverted the issifuluess of theirlaboors. There was so subject on which tlwy would einsdeseeed to acknowledge their itnionnee Like their Arabian masters, they dismissed with equal warmth, mature above their comprehensive, oe beneath their notice. As their schools were open to every hearer, they had to support their peculiar opinions 'valeta all the subtlety sod eloquence of their rivals; and ow many occasions *vie compelled to argue in despite of commis seise, rather than allow thentatlem to be 1/0111111ished. Heuer the sit of reasoning came to hr vetoed as the first of bagel. Icetual acqutiemesits. The stirleot applied assiduritioly to toe logic et Aristotle, and the subtlety of hie Arabia' com mentators: words were substituted is the place of ideas: nothiplie , l and unmeaning distioctions bewildered the un derstanding: and a system of scholastic disputation was introduced, which the celebrated Abbot of Claim.: 9111e019. 11C411y defined to be ' the art of always seeking, without ever finding, the troth.' " A. the principal ecclesiatt ice of England were foreigners, they imported the foi rip: course of studies. Thus Joffrid, Abbot of Crityland, who had been educated at Oilcans, established in hie convent several eseeks of so comtensplible acquirements, whom he procured from the same city. Wilk their assistance he detei mined to open a school ma his memo of Cotenhata, near Cambridge. Al first a large bairn suf ficed for their accommodation: in the stetted year their die- copies were so numerous. that separate aparttnents were al. lotted to each master. Early in the morning the labours of the day were opened by brother Odu, who used the children the rules of grammar according to Macias, surd Om scholia of Romigius; at six Terrie read lectures ow the logic of Aristotle, the Isagode or Porphyry, and the Ara. biros Averroes; nine was the hour allotted to brother the expoender of the rhetorical works of Cicero and (Watt lien ; and before twelve messier Gilbert explaioed to the theological students the diiieolt pomages of tie Holy Scripture.. This tommout, left vs by • cooteosporary, is the more curious, as it includes the real origna of the Univer sity of Cambridge. " There were few among the scholars of Howls reign who did not occasionally practice the art of composleig in Latin verve. A few of them may certainly clAim the praise of taste and elegant e; but the majority seem to have upired to On other excellence than that of 'Alliterating the Odle. mate metre by the admixture of middle and Anal rhymes. Lelia prottnetions, however, tote confined to the perusal and admiration of Latin scholars. The t ich and the power. ful, flume who alone were able to reward the labours of the poet, were scqualoted with no oth. r lanenige than their own, the Gallo-Norman, which since the Comptes* had hem' introduced into the court of the Prince, and the hall of the .....--___. _ Baron, and was I d and spoken ly every candidate fur office and ponce. To amuse and delight these are arose a new race of versifiers, who neglected Latin composition for vernacular poetry. In their origin they were 6otered by the two Horror of Henry, Matilda and Alice. Mailmahuey swum no that net y putt hastened to the Cnunt of Matilda at Westminster, to read his versos to that Princess, and partake of her bounty; and the name of Alice is liequeutly mentioned with honour by the contraapurary versifiers Get. mar. Beneoit, and Philippe de Thaun. The works of these writers are still extant in inentiecript, and shew that their authors knew little of the irapiration of poetry The turgid metaphors, the abrupt tennaiti4es, and lb. rapid Illovemeats, so characteristic of she Anglu.kiaxon moat, though conceived in bad taste, 'hewed at least indications of native genius; but the narratives of the Gallo-INornsau pieta are tame, pru 's:i and iuterniinsble ; and their authors seen, to have known nu beauty but the jingle of rhyme, and to have aimed at no excellence hut that of 'pinning out their story to the greatest possible length. These puents, however, recto as they were, delighted Heinle fur whum they were written, and, what was still better, brought wealth and popularity to their authors. " Dining the reign of Henry, Geoffry of Monmouth pith fished his history of Britain, which hr embellished with nu merous tales respecting Arthur sod his knights, Merkel and his prophecies, burrowed from the songs sod traditions of the ancient Britons. This extraordinary work was accent. purled l.y another of a similar description, the history of Charlemagne sod his twelve peerssuppoard to be compiled by Archbishop Tit r pin, from the stings of the Preach trunverea ; and shoat the same tient the Adventures of Alexander the Great, by the pretended Dares Phrygias, and Maya Cre- Imola, were brought by some of the crusaders into Europe.
