SUbIAURY 01 , I'HE PARtfAMENTAR 1' HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN. The spirit of investigation which chsracterites the present age, and gives so forciblt a stiasubss to literary exertion in every department of art sad science, induces us to present to the public • series of remarks on the Constitutional History of Great Britain. We will state the reasons which influenced us in the selection of our subject, and the motives which induced us to offer our observa tions through the medium of a daily publication. The free institutions of England, the privilege of public discussion, and above all, the toleration of religious opinions, by cherishing a restless spirit of curiosity, have opened a vast field of inquiry in phi losophy, moral,, and politics. To the last-mentioned topic we propose to draw the attention of our readers. :"I'lle'itoleoi 'struggles between prerogative and privilege which commenced with the accession of the Stuart family to the Crown of England, and continued to their final expulsion, form one of the most interesting eras in the annals of our country. The object in dispute was to determine the political constitution of • great nation ; to define, with marked exactitude, the authority of the Crown; and to secure, by firm and impenetrable bar riers, the rights and freedom of the people. Postenty owe an eternal debt of gratitude to those illustrious patriots, who exposed their lives and property in resisting the tyranny of James, end securing fur their descendants the blessings of civil and religious liberty. Nor have the people of Great Britain shewn themselves undeserving of this invaluable legacy; in no country are the prin ciples of government better understood, and the administration of public affairs more narrowly ex stained ; and though the Constitution has lost much of its pristine purity, the injuries which it has sustained are not to be attributed to the decay of public virtue, but to the iguorance, or corruption of weak or unprincipled Ministers. The Revolution of 1688 gave rise to the great national division of IVhiggiem sod Toryism. The Whigs anti Tories of the reign of William the Third were the legitimate descendants of the Roundheads and Cavaliers of the reign of Charles the First, and comprehended under their respective banners the whole of the political world. The Whigs. though supporters of monarchy, were conspicuous for their attachment to the democratical part of the Constitution. The strength of their party con siord in the vast body of religionv sectarians, who dissented on various points of practice and doctrine from the established church. They also drew to thei► standard the republican followers of Herring ton and Sydney, who, despairing of success in their &ding schemes of government, consented to co alesce with the Whigs, not become they admired their princ i ples, but from an implacable detesta tion of their rivals. The Tories consisted of the adherents of the exiled family, and the high churchmen. This united party were inflamed with the bitterest ani mosity against the Whigs, and though they had conceded some of the more extravagant notions of royal prerogative, their intolerance and hatred of the Dissenters remained unabated. From this period of our history the two rival parties, into a hich the political world is at present divided, dite their origin, and from this era Gr►.at Britain made rapid advances in intellectual im provement. The collision of opinion elicited truth; men of superior abilities devoted their talents to the service of the State, iii laborious investigations of the laws and constitution ; the public eagerly sought for instruction on questions of such vital importance, and the most intricate problems in government soon became familiar to the lowest classes of the commuoity. Nor was the desire of information confined to questions of political inte rest; music, poetry, painting, sculpture, and the rest of the fine arts, were cultivated with equal success. These advances in civilization are principally to be attributed to the liberty of the press; but this powerful engine acquired its strength from the ex istence of parties. The emulation of the Whigs and Tories gave rise to a sharp-sighted and watchful jea lousy, which extended the liberties of the subject, and preserved the balance of the Constitution. Every infringement of popular privileges, and every encroachment on the royal prerogative, were instantly noticed, and brought before the tribunal of public opinion. If either side had obtained a complete ascendancy, and annihilated its compe• titor, the nation would have been deprived of ■ moat efficient protection, and have been left a prey to the caprices and arbitrary dominion of their rulers. From what has been remarked, we may conclude that the existence of parties is essential to the national happiness sad peeeperity, and that it is the interest of the people so to 'valance them, that they may act as mutual checks on each other. There are two classes of persons who may be disposed to dissent from the opinions we have formed of the existence of parties. Lord John Russell has hap pily described the first under " Mock philosophers, sentimental women, and effeminate men, who are always making lamentations over political divisions and contested elections." The second compre hends those violent and enthusiastic politicians, who, hurried sway by the frenzy of their passion., ►~4 ' - *".L - or by visionary scletnes of Utopian perfection, desire utterly to extinguish the power of their op- pooents. But the prudent and discerning, who form their opinions by the test of experience, well know the danger of intruatiog and• set of men, however Virtuous and honourable, with exclusive and uncontrolled authority. Cato proposed the de stroction of Carthage; Scipio Nasky, with deeper views and equal patriotism, wished to preserve the rival of his country : the advice of Cato was follow, ed, and Rome, after being a prey to tumult and faction, lo►t her honour arid her independence. In the preceding remarks we have endeavoured briefly to point out the advantage resulting from the great national divirion of Whiggism and Tory i►m ; we are, however, far from contending that this advantage is a pure or unmixed benefit. All political confederacies may, in respect to feeling, be divided into three cl : the lukewarm, the moderate, and the violent. The influence of the first, with respect to the party to which it belongs, is negative; the second commands esteem and con. fidence ; and the support of the third is more fre quently injurious than beneficial. The state of public opinion, at the present period, strikingly illustrates the truth of the last ub tion. Nu merous adherents have ranged themselves under the banners of the Ministry, and struggle to keep them in office ; not because they admire Tory principles, but because they have been alarmed by the frantic ravings of Radicalism. The Adnsini stratioe are well aware of the assistance they derive from these intemperate politicians; and by con. founding the moderate Reformers with the disciples of Hunt and Cubbett, excite the most fatal pre judices against the constitutional admirers of civil arid religious liberty. No artifice has been spared to circulate this delusion. The writers of the Treasury huddle unceremoniously together the Whig and the Radical ; the advocate of judicious Reform and the fanatical partisan of Revolution k the admirer of Triennial Parliaments and the sup porters of Universal Suffrage. It was principally with a view to expose this sys tematic misrepresentation, and to clear the Whigs from the disgraceful imputation of being allied with the Radicals, that the following remarks were drawn op ; and we shall endeavour, in candid and dispassionate discussion, to state the real merits of the two rival parties in a succinct account of the History of Parliament, and of the progressive alte rations in our Constitution. There are two reasons which induce us to choose • Newspaper as the vehicle of communicating our opinions on this important topic: tirst, because they acquire greater publicity; and secondly, because there are many men who, though not possessed of sufficient leisure or patience to wade through • pamphlet, would devote • few minutes to • short paragraph, and acquire sufficient knowledge of the subject to awaken curiosity, and sffurd materials for future reflection. Yesterday No. 16 524, drawn a prize of Twenty Thousand Pounds, was sold in Shares by G. CAR -1101.1„ at his old established Offices, 19, Corohill, and 26, Oxford-street. The mysterious interment in Harrow Church yard, the particulars of which were first inserted in our paper, we understand from good authority, has nothing whatever to do with the offspring of a Greek lady—nor dors the distinguished person en. tertain any such attachment. The object of his present affections is a noble Venetian, of high de scent, and who has made considerable pecuniary sa crifices " to follow the fortunes of her Lord."— (Morning Paper.) LONDON AND SHEFFIELD CUTLERY.-..-When the town of Sbeffieli first became famous for the manufacture of cutlery, • very curious knife, calcu lated for a variety of uses, was executed with great cure, and sent to the Cutlers' Company in London. On one of the blades was engraved the following challenge : " Sheffield made both haft and blade ; London, for thy lire, sbew me each another knife." The London cutlers, to thew that they were not inferior to their more northern brethren, finished, and sent down to Sheffield, a penknife, containing only one well tempered blade, in which was a cavity, and in the cavity • piece of straw, fresh and un singed. Some lines on the blade, mentioning this fact, induced the Sheffield cutlers to break it, when they found the ►traw, and, unable to account for the manner in which it was done, or to imitate it, they confessed themselves surpassed in ingenuity. —(Percy Anecdotes, Part 37.) HYPOCRIST.—The first consideration with a knave is how to help himself; ■nd the second, how to do it with the appearance of helping you. Dto- Imms, the tyrant, stripped the statue of JUPITER OLYMPUS of • robe of massy gold, and substituted • cloak of wool, saying, " Gold is too cold in win ter, and too heavy in summer; it behoves is to take care of JUPITER!" BOTANICAL. NomIiNCLATURE..--BOlanies ocea. sionally adopt a specific name to some historical fact belonging to the plant, or to the person whole name it bears; as Litmus borealis, from the greet botanist of the north; Mu rotie•, after one of his favourite pupils, a foreigner; Brocallia demissa and data, from a botanist of humble origin and character, who afterwards became a lofty Bishop. In like manner, Bujimia tex•ifolia is well known to be • satire on the skader botanical pretensions of the French Zoologist ; as the Huila parasitica of J•CQUIEN, though, perhaps, not meant, is an equally just one upon our pompous Sir JOHN HILL. " 1," says Sir J. E. SMITH, " mean at to approve of such satires; they stain the purity of our lovely science. If a botanist does not deser►e commemoration. let him sink peaceably into obli. •ion. It savours of malignity to make his crown • crown of thoens; and if the application be unjust it is truly diabolical." . - Tki K CilaV E. 11.

CANIBRIDOB ELECTION.—The interest which the election excited is so great, that we understood a very large impression of the poll was disposed of in two days, and a second edition has already appeared. We find, by this authentic publication, that out of the sixteen Heads of Houses, who are possessed of the elective suffrage for • Representative in Parlia ment seine voted for Mr. 13,4t4zu, two for Lord MULVEY, two for Mr. SCARLETT, and three did not vote at all.

Bedell Totil 419 281 119 919 —(Cambridge Chronicle) In a little convent, bordering on Moret, in France, an unknown neipeas took tile veil in the reign of Louis XIV. Burnimrs, the confiden tial Minister of the time, had placed her there at en early age, with a large sum paid down, and the continued allowance of a most liberal pension. She was abundantly provided in all points. The Qualm and Madame —•INTENON both paid especial regard to the welfare of the convent ; and, though not appearing to direct any immediate attention to the negress, they carefully inquired relative to her health, her conduct, and her treatment. The Dauphin and his children of,en visited her. One day when she heard the Prince's hunting-horn in the adjoining forest of Fontainebleau, she said, with un air of neg. ligence, (.'est men frere qri chaise." Her rejoinder to Madame MAINTENON was still more striking. That lady was once descanting on the virtue of humility, for which it does not appear that the recluse was particularly distinguished. In the course of her lecture she insinuated to the myste rious captive that she was by no means the person whom she suspected herself to be. "Si eels redcoat pas, Madame," was the reply ; vows se prendriez pas la piece de vewir me les dire." She died in 1734; and both Sr. Shoots and A MONTI!. concur in the h-lief that she was the legitimate daughter of the KING and QuEast ; that the latter, by the frequent incautious admission of a black dwarf to her presence during her pregnancy, had affected the colour of the child ; and that the birth being deemed monstrous. was thus secluded front the knowledge of the public. OLD BAILEY, FICIDAY, DECEMII2I 6. Catherine Bayliss and Somntsrafr /Ay wise in dicted for stealing, and Mars Muitford for receiving, knowing them to have. been stolen, rearm, articles of wearinK apparel, the property of Harriet John son, anti three coats, the property of Henry Coe. The circumstances of the Case have already been before the public in the Bow-street Police reports. The prisoners, Bayliss and Welshy, lodged with the proseeutriz ur Berkeley-street, Ltimbeth, and decamped on the 24th of November en her absence, carrying off with them almost the whole of her wearing apparel, with three coats, several cravats, and other anklet from the aportnictits of Mr. Cor, her lodg*r, who, two day. afterward., dis covered the place of their retreat by watchitig for them near Hound -court, in the Strand, and seizing the Prisoner Mumford in the shop of Mr. Ashman, pawnbroker, in newiteb.coun. w'tere she offered one of the coats in pledge. On being seized, she accompanied Mr. Coe and an officer to her lodgings, where the other two Prisoners were in bed, unit pointed them not as the persons who had sent her to pledge the coat. The Jury found the prisoners, Bayliss and AVelaby, Guilty, and Acquitted .mford. The Prosecutors recommended Welshy to mercy on account of her previous grind character, which Mr. Justice Bryley slid should be attended to. James liapter Pal indicted for stealing a shirt, a pair of trousers, and a razor, the property of Tho mas Banner; and Joh* Riley for receiving the shirt and razor, knowing them to have been stolen. The Prosecutor was a soldier in the royal drat goons, from which lie has been discharged since the robbery, and was quartered . at the Coach and Horses public-house, in Jewe-row. Chelsea, and the articles in question were taken out of the room where he slept. When he was complaining of his loss on the morning after the robbery, a per son named Draper, who had purchased the trousers on the preceding evening of Riyner, produced them, and they were immediately identified by the Prosecutor. The constable who was then sent for to take Rayner into custody, shortly afterwards foetid the razor exposed for sale outside the shop of the Prisoner Riley, who is a dealer in marine stores, and said he had bought it on the evening previous for two-pence-halfpenny. He, however, defiled all knowledge or the shirt, and for Dome time persisted in his denial, but at length on being very closely pressed, he produced it, mod said he had bought it of the some person who sold him the razor. The Prisoner Rayner put in a written defence, iu which he stated that he had served in the 60th regiment of foot for upwards of six years in the East Indies, from which he had been discharged in consequence of an affection of the liver, and was in a state of starvation, which iodueed hum to commit the offence. Riley stated that Rayner came to him, sod de claring that he had not eaten a moosel for three days, and offered him the articles in question for sale, which he purchased. His reason for denying pos. session of the shirt was, that he was but a young beginner in busmen, and was fearful of getting into trouble. Mr. Baron GAIIROW summed up at some length, sod the Jury °quilled Riley, but found Rayner Guilty, and strongly recommended him to mercy, because they believed him to have been driven to the commission of the offence by extreme distress. He was in a very bad state of health, and Mr. Baron GARROW sentenced him to be confined for six months in the House of Correction, and to be kept in the Infirmary during his confinement. FORGERY UPON THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. At four o'clock Dantean M'Csillem, a middle. aged man, of most respectable appearance, was brought to the bar on the motion of Mr. BOLLAND, who stated that the Prisoner stood committed for • capital felony, in forging a warrant for the deli very of certain goods belonging to the East India Company; and he (Mr. Bolland) had to apply to the Court that the Prisoner might be remanded until the next Sessions, in consequence of the ab sence of • material witness, • Mr. Sterling, without a hose evidence the Prosecutors felt that it would be useless to prefer the bill of indictment before the Grand Jury; end that the recognizance of Mr. Sterling be estreated. In support of this application the Learned Gentleman read long affidavits, from the contents of which it appeared, that Mr. Sterling, who was the most important witness, had waited upon Mr. Fenton, who was employed by the East India Company in the prosecution, mad expressed a wish that the Company would withdraw the charge of forgery, and he (Mr. Sterling) would prosecute the Prisoner for fraud. Mr. Fenton said such a proceeding would be exceedingly wrong, sod refused to comply with the request ; Mr. Ste,. ling then withdrew himself, sod bud not since been heard of. Mr. Baron GARROW-..." Mr. M'Cullum, you have heard this application; have you any obser• rations to make upon it ?" Priscitiser—" My Lord, it is extremely hard upon me that I should be detained. I am ready to take my trial, and my Counsel, Mr. Seeded (we under. stood) and Mr. Adolphus, are instructed to appear here to-morrow morning to defend me. I repeat that I am ready la be tried." Mr. Baron CARROW" It is undoubtedly • matter of hardship that • permit should be deprived of his liberty fur a comiderable period of time, and that a charge an materially affecting his character should mean while be suspended over his head; but those inconveniences must sometimes be suf fered, if the furtherance of public justice demand ed it. This appears to me to be such a case, and I feel myself justified upon the affidavits that have been read, in ordering that the recognizance of Mr. Sterling be retreated, and that you be remand ed until next Sessions." Prisoner—" My Lord, it is extremely hard that I should be detained." Mr. Baron Gatitour—" It is fit you should know that this application was delayed until the latest moment, and was made now only because the Grand Jury have no further business before them. If Mr. Sterling chooses to come forward now, the Prosecutors are ready to present t heir hill." Prisoner—" My Lord, there is no collusion be. twecn me and the witness, and knowing my owu innocence I wish to take my trial now." Mr. Baron Gaaittm—" The delay is not occt• iioned by the Prosecutors, who have (lone all they can. •nd I cannot eeeee se the units I have road:•." The Prisonet asked if bad would be taken. snd Was answered in the negative.—He WAS remanded. PALACE COURT, FRIDAY, DECTIVIIRR 6. i "he A DISSEMBLING LOVER. CL•RIEE b.

Mr. Lewis, Plaintiff's agent, went to Mr. Angel's office (Defendant's at torney) and paid Wet. fur the amount of the debt and cost., requesting the 161. now sought for to be deducted as a set off. Mr. Angel allowed that his client admitted there was about 6/. due to Mr. Hunter, and offered 101., and if the claim should be less when a bill was made out, the balance should be returned; but Mr. Lewis declined the offer, on the ground that it was insufficient to meet the claim. Mr. Mangle, for the Plaintiff, called several witnesses to prove the length of time Defendant's horses were at the Plaintiff's stables, and that they were fed with hay and corn; bet it turned out that no more than 101. could be made out at all. Mr. Theft/tem called five persons, servants discharged by the Plaintiff, and servants belongiog to the IN filidient, to prove that Defendant fed the horses himself, and that the expertise of standing at livery was amply paid at 6d. per night for each horse The Jury tetired into a private room, where they were in deliberation about half an hour, and then returned with a verdict for the Plaiotiff—Damers, 101.
