John flames and John Clements were charged with robbing Henry King of eleven shillings and three six pences. It appeared that the prisoners were coach-cads; that the prosecutor, who is a hackney-coachman, was sleep ing; in the tap-room of the watering-house in Newcastle court, at about half-past three this morning; the prisoners were also there. When King went to sleep he had eleven shillings and three sixpences in his pocket, and when he awoke he found that his breeches-pocket bud been cit through, and his money extrAeted. He procured an aft er , and described two of the shillings and one of the sixpences. The prisoners had left the house befute he awoke, but on their return the officer searched them, and the thre. piecesl of nion.y which King had described were found in their possession. They now denied all knowledge of the robbery, and stated that the money found was their own. Sir R. BiriNzE, however, fully committed them for trial. BI RNIINGII - A - 31 MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

Mr. i'lalcolm's genius is of a very pi.easing descriptive character. He published some two or three years since, we remember, a volume of poems, which were distinguished by their graphic skill and the easy national flow of their versifica tion. The present work, which is a collection of prose talcs, alternating between the grave and the gay, possesses similar qualities, and as it has little or no assumption about it, no meritricions decorations of style, no forced vigour of senti ment, it can scarcely fail to please. The part, however, that has afforded us the greatest grati fication is decidedly that which is devoted to military sketches and reminiscences. The author has himself been a soldier, he served, if we understand rightly, through the greatest parts of . the Peninsular campaigns, and closed his military career at the battle of Waterloo. Of course, doming this varied and eventful period, he cannot but have witnessed much that is well worth nar rating, and accordingly in the volume before us, we have a few sketches of a soldier's life which are nearly, if not quite equal,—whether we re gard their spirit, their interest, or the manner in which they are detailed—to any thing we re member in the " Subaltern." As a specimen, we present the reader with the description of a brandy-drinking Irish Lieutenant. It bears evident marks of having been drawn from life. " Jack O'Flanagan was a native of the South of Ireland, somewhat above the middle size, and apparently not under middle age ; or, if he really was as young as he professed to be, toil had forged the hand-writieg of time with such fe licity, that no one could have suspected the deceit ; in other words, the crow's-foot had made a deep impression at the corner of each eye, and numerous wrinkles mean dered over his brow. In the construction of his eyes, nature had deviated from her general plan—they might indeed well be said to Le matelless, inasmuch as they bore no kind of resemblance to each other, one of them squinting in a most unusual degree, and the other having what is cslled, a cast. The former, with a bewildering dubiety of direction, seemed to ogle two or three objects at once, while the 'Ater, which occupied a situation about half an inch higher in the face, like a jealous guardian, seemed to keep a watchful outlo , ik upon the little leering libertine below, least it should wander away after the dal k-eyed Donnas of the land. Collapsed cheeks and a mouth having a leaning to one sid e of hi s f are ; f orme d i ts remaining pe culiarities, and his cravat or stock be wore so lomie as to afford a distinct view of a long scraggy neck, rising from a narrow pedestal of shoulders, one of which ambitiously overtopped the other, and terminated in a sharp knob, whereon his epaulet, like the dove of the ark, finding no resting-place, slid from its bony pinnacle, and hung down upon his back in drooping repose. His legs were the smallest on which warrior uver todd'ed forth to battle, and Jack, with an infatuation, common to men of his make, constantly exposed them in tights. During the whole of the Peninsular campaigns, the toils of which . _ Jack had suffered and survived, he had lived chiefly like a wood-cock, upon auction, and in the absence of his favourite national beverage, potheen, had solaced himself with rum and brandy, in which articles of daily consumption most of his cash was liquidated." THE ANATOMY OF DRUNKENNESS. GLASGOW, 1829. There are two subjects which from time to time, from the days of Anacreon down to those of Captain Morris, have been almost exclusively the property of poetry, namely, love and wine. Of the former we shall say nothing, it is a diffi cult subject, and requires peculiarly delicate handling ; but, as regards the latter, we believe, on our conscience, that for two bards who have chaunted the praises of " Apollo and Mercurius, and the rest," twenty, to say the least of it, have sung those of Bacchus and his first-born, Drun kenness. Indeed, the worship of this deity is the only relic of Paganism that yet clings to the institutions of England. In this respect the ma jority of our countrymen are absolute Methodists. They have the enthusiasm without the hypocrisy of fanatics, and offer up their devotions to Bac chus with the same zeal with which the late Mr. Huntingdon dedicated his corduroy breeches to the Lord. Even in Rabeiais's time they were famous for these specially devout propensities, and to be " drunk as nu Englishman,'' was a phrase adopted on the Continent to express that extreme stage of inebriety in which the victim can neither speak, nor;move, see nor hear. Such being the former, and in a more partial degree, the present popularity of this habit throughout the exemplary country of Great Britain, what wonder that it should draw forth the fancies of her poets, and excite the curiosity of her philo sophers ? What wonder that the former should declaim, and the latters peculate, on a propensity which sets out by lifting the devotee to Heaven, and ends by leaving him on the floor? Which, upon the old Propertian principle of " sine Baccho friget Venus," accelerates the march of love, thaws the chill resolves of celibacy, and puts to an awkward test Mr. Sadler's Theory of Population ? The very able and accomplished author of the little volume before us, (Mr. Robert Mac nish, of Glasgow), seems fully awake to all the various phenomena of drunkenness, and has searched into, explained, and suggested reme dies for them, with a care, a precision, a minuteness, and a diligence, which are almost without parallel in the annals of pathology. No thing seems to have escaped him. From the first crude stage of inebriety, when the tippler is all song and sunshine, and sociality, down to the last closing scene, when his limbs refuse their office, his tongue cleaves to the roof of his mouth, and his brain seems possessed by Beelzebub, and " seven others more wicked than himself," from the alpha, in short, to the omega of the business, Mr. Macnish has proved an adept. What, for instance, can be more strictly true, and, at the same time, more animated than his account of the sensations of incipient drunkenness ? " First, an unusual serenity prevails over the mind, and the soul of the votary is filled with a placid satisfaction. By degrees, he is Fensible of a soft and nut umnusical hum • ming in his cars, at evety pause of the conversation. He seems to himself to wear his head lighter than usual on his shnteders. Then a s: , ecies of obscurity, thinner than the finest mist, passes bef,re his eyes, and makes him see ob jects rather indisti nc tly. The lights hewn to dance an d appear doubl e . A gaiety and warmth are . felt nt the same time about the heart. The imagination is expanded anal filled with a th ousan d d el i ght f u l i mages . Now comts a spirit of universal contentment with the world. The drunkard thinks no more of misery ; it is dissolved in the bliss of the moment. This is the acme of the fit—the ex tacy is now perfect. As yet the sensorium is in tolerable order : it is only shaken, but the capability of thinking with accuracy still remains. About this time the drunkard pours out an the se. rets of his soul. Ilia qualities, good or ha I, come forth without reserve ; and now, if at any time, dm human heart may be teen into. In a short period, he is seized with . a most 4:m..l:trite propinsity to talk nonsense, though he is perfectly conscious of doing so." This last fact reveals the secret of many an after-dinner oration, and may probably afford a clue to the curious absurdities so plenteously developed in a late much-vaunted ultra Philippic. We continue the des cr ip t i on . - " After this the scene thickens. The drunkard's ima gination gets disordered with the most grotesque concep tioos. Instead of moderating his drink, he pours it down more rapidly than ever ; glass follows glass with reckless energy. His head becomes perfectly giddy. The candles burn blue, or green, or yellow, and where there are per haps only three at the table, he sees a dozen. According to his Louperament, he is atnorouq, or musical, or quarrel some. Many possess a most extraordinary wit, and a great flow of spirits is a general attendant. In the latter stages the speech is thick, and the use of the tongue in a great measure lost. The drunkard's mouth is half open, and idiotic in the expression, while his eyes are g',..sed, waver ing, and watery. He is apt to fancy he has offended sonic one of the company, and is ridiculously profuse with his apologies. In attemptinz to run, he conceives that he passes over the ground with astonishing rapidity. Houst s reel from side to side as if they had lost their balance, trecs and steeples nod like tipsy bacchanals, and the very earth seems to slip from under his feet, and leave him walking and floundering upon the air. The last stage of drun kenness is total insensibility. The man tumblee perhaps beneath the table, and is carried away in a state of stupor to his couch. In this condition be is said to be dead chunk." This is vigorous writing, and proves that no thing has escaped the inquisitorial scrutiny of Mr. Macnish. In a subsequent chapter, he details with equal spirit the different orders and degrees of drunkards. We have first the semi mental ; secondly, the amorous ; thirdly, the pug nacious ; and, fourthly, the religious drunkard. The first of these is usually, like Master Slender, of a peculiarly timid nature. He is fond of being " melancholy and gentlemanlike," has a slim bilious countenance, no calves to his legs, and thinks he looks well in tights. We have re• peatedly fallen in with this class of tipplers, and have invariably found them people of slender pretensions to brains, with an amazing relish, nevertheless, for Rosseau and Byron. The amorous drunkard is of a much more entertain ing character. He has not unfrequently red hair, and eyes fraught with the transparent pro perties of a gooseberry. In making love, he is always sure, with a " curiosa infelicitas," to pick out the rrost forbidding creature possible. In tending to press the fair hand of Mary, aged six teen, lie squeezes the mutton fist of Tabitha, aged sixty—an ugly mistake, but one which, like " accidents," will occasionally " take place even in the best regulated families." Being some what protuberant in front, he fancies himself a model of sylph-like symmetry, sighs languish ingly, notwithstanding he is near four feet round the waist, and conceives that he is an Adonis, even though lie be a decided Buckhorse. Of the pugnacious drunkard we have little or no thing to say. He is an animal to be held in respectful abhorrence, and meanly should we think of our discretion, if, when he asserted that black was white, we should venture for an in stant to dispute his position. The religious drunkard is commonly a great rogue, and still greater hypocrite. He thinks to cheat Provi dence in his sobriety, and propitiate Satan in his cups. He will tell you that his " little infir mity" crept unawares upon him, from a thirsty habit he had acquired by singing psalms. That he prefers spirits to wine, seeing that they are no where spoken about in the Scriptures. The Ordinary in "Jonathan Wild" was a drunkard of this description, and took religiously to punch, because after an attentive perusal of the New Testament, lie could not discover that it was objected to. The reader who meets with a tippler of this complexion will do well to look to his watch and purse, or both will assuredly vanish. All these various orders of drunkards, together with some few others that we cannot stop to enumerate, Mr. Macnish has described with a power, and minuteness of observation, equalled only by his eloquence. His next point—taking it for granted that " once a drunkard always a drunkard "—is to give a list of those liquors which are the most beneficial, or rather the least injurious, to the constitution. Spirits he de cidedly condemns, a condemnation which we perused with a heart- felt pang, when we reflect t hat Scotch whiskey—a nectar fit for the Gods, and out of which the social toddy is manufac tured—was on the list of the proscribed. Ale, however, (and this is something), may be taken, says Mr. Macnish, with comparative safety. He does not add what ale, but we conclude, of course, that it must be Welch, inasmuch as this beverage is by far the most nourishing of the prolific family of the ales, and richly deserves the " Ex-ale-tation with which the witty Bishop Andrews once complimented wine. Altogether our author's volume is one of a most amusing character to those who seek mere amusement, while to those who look for information it will be found eminently instructive.

CURIOUS A:NECDOTES OF NAPOLEON It was before the departure for I . !_zypt that INT. de Bourrienne, without any particular inten tion on his part, as he tells us in his Alemoirs, and merely to say something and bleak a long silence, asked Napoleon if he were positively de termined to quit France. The reply was " I have tried every thing. They won't have me. (He alluded probably to the place of Di rector.) It would be necessary to upset them, and make myself king; but that must not be thought of yet ; the nobles would never consent to it. I have already taken my soundings ; the time is not yet come ; I should be by myself: I will still dazzle these people.' iNTy only answe r was, Well, let us go to Egypt and I changed the conversation." On one former occasion he had already expressed similar views.— M. tie Bourrienne says,—" lie renewed, but without success, the attempt which he had made before the 18th Fructidor to obtain a dispensation as to age to entitle him to be a Director : perceiving that things went. against him, he said to me, on the 29th of January, 1798, Bourrienne, I will not remain here ; there is nothing to be done here. People will not listen to anv thing ; I see that, if I remain, I must very shortly go down. Every thing wears out here. My glory is already becoming dim. This little spot, Europe, does not afford enough. I must go to the East ; there is the only theatre for names greatly glorious. However, I would first make a tour to the coast, in order to judge from my own observation what may be under taken. I will take you with me, you, Lannes, and Sulkowsky. If the descent on England shall appear doubtful, as I fear it will, the army of England shall become the army of the East, and lam off to Egypt.' This conversation, with others of a similar tenor. give a true idea of his cha racter. He always considered war and conquests as the most noble and the least exhaustible sources of his glory. He loved this glory with passion : the idea of seeing it tarnished amidst the idle ness of a Paris life, while new bays were grow ing in foreign climates, was intolerable. His imagination had already inscribed his name on those gigantic monuments, the only ones, per haps, of all the works of man which hear the stamp of eternity. Proclaimed already the most illustrious captain of his time, he sought in an cient times for rival names which his own might eclipse. If Car fought fifty battles, he de sired to fight a hundred ; if Alexander left Macedonia to go to the temple of Ammon, he would start from Paris fez- the cataracts of the Nile. While by such means he should be keeping renown alive, events, bethought, would succeed in France which would render his return necessary and opportune ; his place would be ready for him, and he would not come an unknown or a forgotten man to take it. Shouts of Viva Bonaparte,' and the incense which was prodigally offered him;did not change his actual position. But a short time before conqueror and ruler in Italy, and now the sub ject of a set of men whom he held as nought, and who looked on him as a formidable rival, he said to me, There is no exploit of which the re membrance lasts any time at Pa: is. If I remain long inactive I am lost. In this great Babylon one reputation ousts another; when I shell have bee seen three times at the theatre, 1 shall be more thought of, and therefore I shall go but seldom.' When h e vent it was in a private and close box. The managers of the opera offered him a grand special representation, but he declined. I le marked to him that it must nevertheless be gra tifying to him to see his fellow.eitizens crowd to see him. Bah ! the people would crowd as much to see use if I were on my way to the scaf fold.'

The investigation which has for some weeks past been f r&n g en at the India House, relative to F r,r, ref eg- i Captain Thomas Larkins, Connna,der of the Honourable Company's ship f:s f.;:niden, ermi, :red yestes day. The re- `flit of p e . cx:•ited :s much feel. ing among those eng4ged in the nay.il service of the East India Company as a late Court-martial did in his Majesty's Navy. The charges preferred by Mr. I hyle tt, C.iptain Larhins's chief officer, were tiled before the Ship ping Committee, Captain William Stanley Clarke, President of the Cour'. The following is the official statement of the charges preferred against Captain Larkins:— " TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMITTEE OF SIIIP- PING, EAST INDIA•IIOUSE„ " Honourable Sirs.,--In presuming to appear be fore you, believe me I have a painful task to per form ; but impelled by a sense of duty .which I owe to myself, and xvhich, to surrender, would be almost criminal, I have no alternative ; and feel bound to prefer the following charges against Captain Thomas Larkin., commander of the lion. Company's ship Marquis Camden:— " First Charge.—For putting me under close sr rest between the hours of two and three o'clock on the morning of the 13th of November, 1828, whilst moored in the Whampoa river, and although serious indisposition was the consequence of this solitary confinement, and my life was considered by some in imminent danger, vet it was not until the 25th of the same month, when, by the interference of the President and select Committee, an order waa issued by them for my immediate release. " Second Charge.—For challenging me to personal combat on the poop of the lion. Company's ship Marquis Camden, on the evening of the 2Gth of March, 1828, during the period that I was officer of he watch. " Third Charge.—For addressing me at various times during the voyage in language the most gross, revolting, and insulting; demoralizing in its example emanating from the commander of the ship, deroga tory to the character of a gentleman, disgraceful arid highly censurable as an officer in the Hon. Company's service. (Signed) " WM. HAYLETT, Chief Officer, H. C. S. Marquis Camden." The Court has sat upon these charges almost from Clay to day. Nearly all the officors and crew of the Marquis Camden have been examined at great length, and separate evidence taken on each distinct charge. Several of the common sailors spoke to the validity of the statements preferred by Mr.ilaylett, whilst, on the other hand the officers and part of the crew wholly negatived them. The evidence having been gone through, the Court proceeded to consider of its judgment. The complainant ►%as served with two distinct notices, apprizing him of the day on which the case was to be decided, but to neither of these notices was at tention paid. The Court therefore proceeded to sum up the merits of the ca , e in the absence of the accuser, and through the President, Captain Clarke, the Court honourably acquitted Captain Larkins, who imme diately received the congratulations of his friends. The Court of Directors of the Company, at the usual weekly meeting MI yesterday afternoon, con firmed, as is understood, the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, summonses for the assembling of which were issued on Sunday afternoon. The Ministers present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earls 13ATiri7as-r, llossivN, and ABERDEEN, Lord ELLENaortormr, Mr. Secretary PEEL, ;ter GEORG E MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR of the 'Excne- QtrEa, Mr. IlFanles, and Mr. VESEY I'ITZGERALD.-- Tt•e Ministers remained in deliberation during three hours and a half. In the evening the Cabinet Ministers re assembled at the residence of the Duke of WELLINGTON in Dawnin-street, where his Grace entertained his col - leagues to dinner. Several of the Cabinet Ministers came to town to attend the Council ; the Duke of Wri.t.ric- TON nerived on Tuesday night from his seat at Strath fieldsaye, the Loan CHANCELLOR came from Wiltshire, Mr. Secretary l'Est, from the seat of his father in Staf- fordshire, and Mr. Hr.rtitirs from Sevenoaks, Kent.

The City library was presented last week with upwards of 100 volumes upon matters connected with the city, IT Mr. Ilor.mrs, the High Bailiff of Southwark: several xvorlzs have very lately been sent in by other indi viduals.

In nine cases out of ten the desiderata entered in the Museum-book hare been found in the lib•wy, and the writers are requested to take the trouble to look over the catalogue. On Saturday morning a fire was discovered in the new building at Ickworai, the seat of the Marquis of BRISTOL, which app ars to hare originated in souse defect of the flue leading through the grand entrance-hall: a superb door was burnt, and it oecasilmd other damage to the amount of more than 100/.—Bury Herald. Among other persons engaged in extensive speculations for a rise in the Public S:curities at the pre sent moment, is said to bd a certain Foreign Prince resid ing at this Court, under the advice and directions of an eminent capitalist. This has given rise to much conver sation both in and out of the Stock Exchange, Wilt re the conduct of the Noble Foreigner has been deprecated in un reserved terms. Ministers, it is known, were not offi. cially acquainted with the signing of the Treaty of Peace between Ilusiia and Turkey, by Sir IL Gonnos, until the arrival of the despatch:s at the Foreign office yester day, and which are dated the 16th ult. ; hot they re ceived an intimation of the event from the Foreign Prince to whom we have referred on Sunday, which induced him to purebas.. Cot:srls to a very I,rge amount on the fol lowing day. The rumour is that certain pat t: are get ting out of their accounts, from the apprehension that, notwithstanding the conclusion of the peace in the East, the future arrangements may occasion sonic bustle, rn cloud the political horizon. This apprehension, it i.a added, has induced the Ptioce 311(1 his fro n..!s to throw a very lure am mot of stork ll' their bands. Another rumour is, that the ►peculations are reduced to a partner ship account between them,-21forning Chronicle, SPIRIT or THE PUBUQ JOURNALS. Attention is drawn in the City to the great smuggling concern which is now undergoing investigation. This induces us to revert to the first statement of it in the French Papers. In that it is said there were ten cases directed to Lord Stuart : three were suffered to pass ; seven were returned to Calais for re-exportation, the weight of which was upwards of 30 cwt. ! !.! It cost the Custom-house officers three days to ex amine the articles. It is said further, in the French Papers (we know not on what authority, for the statement is now denied), that it was at the demand of Lord Stuart that Prince Po lignae opposed the confiscation of toe seven cases in a council of Ministers. We really hope that Prince Polignac has not been weak enough to mingle himself in this affair; for by doing so he as much injures this country as his own. France is open to our commodities on paying affixed duties; and to admit British goods with out paying those duties is to defraud the fair trader on this side of the water, as well as to rob the industrious manufacturer on the other. Why were the goods sent back to Calais ? Why were they not confiscated ? Whence is it as serted that Lord Stuart, who ought to have been most indignant at the dishonest use of his name, appeared as the advocate for the re-embarkation of the seven packages. A cotemporary obligingly supplies us with an instance of the conduct of a very different person from Lord Stuart, under somewhat simi lar circumstances, and in a cargo of infinitely less value. " No," says M. David (the Admi nistrator of the French Customs), " it is not the Duke of Wellington who will request, a mark of courtesy,' that the abuse of the pri vilege of embassies be tolerated ; for his Grace, in 1817, having received in Paris some cases which had been conveyed to him without being visited, sent them back of his own accord to the Custom-house, in order Mat they might be confiscated, because they contained obj ects fo reign to his servi ce ." • Why, as the Cot:rier newspaper justly infers, with this example upon record, were the smuggled goods addressed to Lord Stuart only re-exported on detection, and not confiscated ? But to whom did the three packages go ? Not to Lord Stuart certainly, who lives rather like a person in lodgings than one keeping house. He could have no need of three large packages. However, we now find that what we surmised is the fact—that the affair is undergoing an investigation. A most nefarious one it is ; or rather one black act of a most nefarious system. It is of importance to the satisfaction of both France and England that the result should be made public as soon as possible. —Times. It is hardly credible, what absurdities some rob Journals abiii t presentiesl o n e t theiro or o readers i weekly o r p Papers have been edifying their subscribems f or some time with the assurance that Minister s were taking measures for calling Parliament to gether shortly. How could such an idea ev er enter the head of mortal man ?

It is just as likely that Ministers should think of' calling the con stellations of the heavens together, to make war upon Aldebaran and the Bull ! However, now we bethink ourselves, this is periodical folly. Last year, and the year before, about this sea son, the same writers were assuring the same readers (unless time have thinned their ranks, for wiseacres die as well as wise men), that Par liament was to be called together instantly. Ex• perience of repeated deception has no effes:t upon heads of a certain texture. However, t en all such we address the following statement, And ; if they can read it, let them treasure it up " Gentlemen Numskulls !—Ministers have no thoughts of calling Parliament together before the usual time."
