A very striking resemblance is perceptible between the old English 'and old' Ge►man tales : even Ton Thumb, who has generally been considered. native of Britain, turns out tti be as familiar to the inhabitatitsof Germany and `Scandinavia as in England and Wales. The tales are of three sorts—some dialogues of birds tgid beasts, in the manner or &sop and Pulpay ; some &rat cxtravaganzas in the style of the biogra phers of Tom Tharmb, and other worthies of that stamp ; some romances in the milliner of the Provencal Talcs and the C'ontesAies Pees. The translation is uncommonly happy ; it has all' the freedom and fre.hness of an original. The work is embellished with twelve humor Iu s sketcEes by Critikshank, who is a worthy successor to Garay. Ile has an astonishing variety of fancy, with great power of expression. His drawings are far too good to be classed with the ordinary run of caricatures We select the first tale us a specimen : HANG IN LUCK. . Hans had served his master seven years, and at last said to him, " Master, my time is up, I should like to go heme slid see my mother ;so guy me my wages."

As he went lazily on, dragging one foot after ant:deer, :, man came in sight, trotting along gaily on a capital horse. " Ah!" said Hans aloud, " what a line t ling it is to ride eft' horseback ! there be sib as if be wee at borne its his chair p be trips against no stoneit, spares his shoes, and set gets on be hardly knows how." The horseman heard this, and 'aide "Well, Hans. why do you go on foot then?"—" Ab!" said , he, " I have this load to carry ; to be sure it is silver, but is so heavy that I can't huld op my bead, and it hurts my shredder sadly."—" What do you say to changing?" said the horsemen: " I will give you my horse, and you shall Mee satthe silver."—" With all my heart," said Maus; " but I - tell you one thing—you'll have a weary task to drag it along." The horseman got off, took the silver, helped Hans up, gave him the bridle into bis hand, and said," When you want to go s ery fast, you must smack your lips loud, and cry Hans was delighted as he sat on the horse, and rode met'e rily on. After a time he Ihougnt he should like to go • liithl faster, so be smacked his lips, and cried " Jip."

Mr. Baron G **HA u delivered a very short addreu id the Grand July: He ohArved, that many inttl- fr: ligent and excellent persons had suggested the expo- !* 0 dielicy of a gaol delivery at this season of the year, in consequence of which his Majesty's Government had ' directed a third Circuit. Tlin!.e persons would now • have an opportunity of forming a judgment as to the wisdom of such a measure. His Lordship, how- i ever, could not help observing, that however advisable it might be, as respected the interests of public jus lice; the season chosen for this experiment could not but be deemed inconvenient to many persons whose attendance was requisite, This was a season of the ; ; year observed throughout all Christendom by thanks giving and joy, and was ill suited to the duties which this proceeding imposed upon the gentry and yeo manry. of the country. His Lordship would say no more upon this subject; and after shortly adverting to the principal cases in the calendar, he dismissed the Grand Jury to their room. The calendar coutains 91 cases, nine of which are commitments for the Quarter Sess ions, and conse quently cannot be tried at these Assizes.
