The 'Proprietors of the LONDON WEEKLY -RF.. 7 lEW beg leave to solicit the attention of the Public, to a stew arran g ement, which they intend to adopt, in the pub lication of their Monthly Parts. A Weekly• Review and lournal of Literature necessarily contains a considerable.numb,er of. Articles, which, though • of great- temporary interest, lose all their attraction, as soon as the occasion which gives rise to them is past. When Periodicals of this kind are collected into volumes, the reader, therefore, whom such articles amused whilst they were.nesv, is annoyed at the perpetual recurrence of what now appear to him to be trifles ; and wishes that the . cur.. rent of criticism were allowed to flow on uninterruptedly. On this account the Proprietors of the London Weekly Review, anxious that their publication should eornhine the iiap , taves of a literaly Newspe,ger with those of a Review, 11T,A t(A 50.4 . 0te, ha the Monthly Pats, the eiltk.isur from the News ; and, to preserve only those articles which possess a permanent interest.

It has been repeatedly remarked of late, that the annals of crime do not furnish us with a parallel to the atrocious deeds of Burke, Hare, i\l'Dougal, and Co. The narration of the fol lowing horrible :ale, the truth of every particle of which may be relied upon, will perhapa go far to convince the readers 'of the Elgin Courier, that the history of France in the seventeenth century, contains one instance at least of a system of murderS being regularly acted on, limier ciretnn stances of atrocity as great, if not greater, than that pursued by the nefarious firm whose names we have just mentioned :—ln the year 1673 a midwife in Paris had by hei• superior knowledge. of her profession, got into an extensive practice. Knowing. that many of her employers were un married, and that consequently they would wish their delivery to be as private as possible, she conceived it would prove a :good specula tion to engage commodious premises for her self, and provide for those whose circumstances could afford it the necessary accommodation at her own house, at the time of their lying-in.— The speculation was attended with eminent suc cess ; numbers of pregnant females took up a temporary residence in this novel institution. It was observed, however, by a gentleman who re sided directly opposite the midwife's house, that notwithstanding the many pregnant women that went in to be delivered, there were comparatively: few children. that came out. It accordingly oc curred to him, as the most probable supposition to.acconnt for - this, that a number cf the young innocents trust 'have been murdered shortly after • their entrance into the world: He intimaukl his suspicions to several of his neighbours and - the result was, that they applied to a magistrate for a search warrant, under the pretension that a quantity of silver-plate had been stolen: The warrant was obtained, and the search commenced, when to their indescribable horror, they' dis covered a secret place of the house, under ground, in which which were deposited no less than the bodies of sixty4wo children ! Some of them were considerably decomposed ; but the great majority of .them seemed to have been murdered within two or three weeks of the time at which the shocking discovery - was made. The in human monster was apprehended, imprisoned, tried, and condemned .on the most conclusive evidence,in conjunction with her own confession of guilt. The atrocity of her guilt produced such an impression on the public mind, that a universal demand was made .for the infliction of the punishment of death under the most tor turing of its forms. A most excruciating mode of death was accordingly resorted. to. A gibbet was erected, under which a fire was lighted. The delinquent was then hung up in a large iron cage, in company with sixteen wild cats, which had been caught in the woods for the purpose. When the heat of the fire had be come intolerable, the whole of the ferocious animals flew on the woman as the cause of the agonizing pains they experienced. In about a quarter of an hour she presented a most shock ing spectacle,_ but continued to live for twenty minutes longer,—imploring, but i❑ vain, some of the spectators to despatch her at.once. Before ; she expired, twelve of the cats had died, and the other four only lived about two minutes longer. —Vain Courier...

John Walter Hulme, Robert Wellbe byed, Thomas Henry, and William Glover, Esquires. DISTRESSED STATE OF THE SILK WEAVERS.-On Saturday last the Rev.

BY AN IRISH CATHOLIC. 1.1.5.^/2 Z.XqFVI. A WEHOI. What youth that taketh his daily way Twist Hyde•park corner and Cheapside, But oft must see, in bonnet gay, . Some sylph-like nymph before him glide, Whose step, whose air his zeal provoke To follow her, fast and breathless, on, Till 10, he peepeth beneath her poke, .And his dream of beauty all is gone He finds the nymph who backward threw Her Parthian arrows from waist and feet, kirylpli, an angel, to pursue, But—truth to tell—a devil to meet. Thus, treavherous Hope, from morn to night, From month to year, thou cheat'st the eye,— Thy form, far off, a nymph of light, - lint withering into a hag, when nigh ! Oh, not even Proten4' self e'er took So many and strange relays of shape, As thou can'st take, of name and look, To shift like him—like him, escape.

PRICE 7D. RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN IN TURKEY. The following are extracts from the journal of a volunteer engaged in the Russian army on the Danube : " The bravery of the Russ'an troops has been long established, and when \veil commanded t here are none who will longer withstand an enemy's attack or more intrepidly support the murderous affair of a well-pointed battery. At Silistria, Shumla, and Varna, repeated proofs'have been given of the gal lantry of several corps when employed en masse, and thet:e are also some brilliant examples of personal bravery which have been scarcely noticed amongst the noble achievements of the 3d, 4th, and 6th corps d'armee during the campaign. " Whilst I remained with my friend of the Impe rial Guards, 1 learned a few anecdotes which I think deserve being mentioned, and I give them to you as absolute facts. " Before. Shumla, Lieut.-Colonel Readh had shown great coolness and courage in exec uting the orders of his Imperial Majesty, to whom he had the honour of being one of "t he aides-de-camp; he distinguished himself highly in performing the last duty of danger to which he was exposed. He was ordered to communicate with the commanding officer of a detachment greatly galled by the Turkish bat teries, which ceased not for a moment their tre mendous fire, Readh advanced coolly through a shower of shot, one of which unfortunately termi nated the career of this heroic officer. The Ear peror is said to greatly regret this loss, and as a mark of his .esteem for his late aide-de-camp, has appointed to the same situation his brother, already a Colonel commanding a regiment of Hussars. " Soon after the Russians had entered Moldavia, a brigade of Lancers were on their march near Gouja, under the orders of Lieutenant-General Kreitz, when a report was made to him that the Turks, well armed, had posted themselves in a monas tery, which, like all, other buildings of the-same kind in the two principalities, was surrounded by a high wall. The General proposed to the Chevalier Mer lini to make these Turks prisoners, and ordered a , gallant CosFack to aczompany him. Notwithstand ing the inequality of the parties, the brave Merlini accepted the proposition, and advancing with intre pidity, summoned the Turks to surrender. They immediately flew to their arms, and determined to defend themselves, when, with admirable presence of mind, Merlini called out to his Cossack, The detachment is near; advance !' and then; making the Turks - comprehend that they would be put to death if they resisted, or saved if they surrendered, the Turks gave up their arms, and Merlini conveyed both arms and prisoners to his companions of the detachment, who anxiously waited the result of his prowess. FOr this act of heroism, Merlini was advanced to the rank of cot- net. It may not be amiss to say here, Ilia this gentleman, born of a noble Polish family, is one of the unfortunate victims of duelling. At the age of 25, by repeated acts of bravery during the last war, and by continued good conduct, he bad been ad vanced to the distinguished rank of Lieut.-Colonel of the Imperial Guards, and had been honoured with nine orders or decorations of different nations. Hav- ing been so unfortunate as to wound mortally his su perior officer,in a duel of no common nature(both being wounded through the body), the severity of military law was inflicted upon him ; and though suffering severely, he was ordered into exile, degraded to the rank of a common soldier, and deprived of all his honourable decorations. Again, having recovered the rank of an officer by. the above-mentioned gal lant conduct, he has distinguished himself through out the campaign, but particularly on the following occasion :—Lieut.-General Roth, judging it neces sary to send an officer of distinguished loyalty, courage, .and address, on a reconnoitering party, near Silistria, before he could expose his little army to pass from Wallachia to the Turkish side of the Danube, proposed the undertaking to Cornet Mer lini, who fearlessly plunged into the river with all his accoutrements, and followed by ten Cossacks, equally brave with their heroic leader, together with all their horses, gained the opposite bank. Here these champions remained two days, and having during that time obtained all the information neces sary for them and their General, they again, with their horses, threw themselves into the Danube, compelling a Bulgarian prisoner to imitate their ex ample, and authenticate the report which Merlini had to communicate. The importance of such an ex pedition at such a moment will be appreciated by military men, and the dangers attending its execu tion by all, when it is known that the current of the Danube is not less than four miles per hour, and its breadth where these noble fellows crossed is wider than at London-bridge. After such conduct, andafter having supported with patience the punishment of existing as a common soldier during ten long years, it is expected th:.t the error of a moment which has so heavily pressed upon the Chevalier Nierlini and brought down the displeasure of his late Sovereign, will be effaced by the generosity of the Emperor Nicholas. " I met with another brave in General Rissotow, also one of the Emperor's aides.de-camp. lie was the first person who in a small boat, which contained only himself and his aide-de-camp, and at the head of a regiment of Chasseurs, crossed the Danube im mediately before the fortress of Isachta, from whence the cannon were incessantly directed against the small , boat. Notwithstanding all danger, the Ge neral persevered, effected his landing, and the for tress was soon after compelled to surrender. " Had I remained longer amongst these heroes, I have no doubt that I should have collected many more anecdotes of personal bravery ; but the k4r my hawing abandoned Shumla, Silistria, and the l,3ulga. rian bank of the Danube, has entered i►ta winter. quarters, and we must wait the events of the spring, which seem to be involved in great doubt and ob scurity." In compliance : with the dying request of Austrigilda, wife of Gmtram, King of Burgunfy, her two physicians were put to death, and buried in the sAme vault with her.
