" This is, beyond all comparison, the best student's edi tion of a Greek Play, which has ever been given to the public. The original edition of Porson, which forms the ground-work of the present, is, after all, a book more adapted to the finished scholar and classical critic, than to those who are only pursuing the studies which are to render them worthy of a station within the envied pale."—Literary Chronicle, Jan. 1827. TH UCYJUDES, HERODOTUS, XENOPHON, DEMOSTHENES, &c., will be published during the pre. sent year. At the express desire of many eminent Schoolmasters, Mr. VALPY has commenced the publication of a SERIES of such of the GREEK AUTHORS as are chiefly read in the upper classes of Schools and in Colleges. The best Texts are adopted, and the CRITICAL and EXPLANA TORY NOTES are presented, it is presumed, in a more inviting and accessible form than those of Latin Commen tators, by avoiding that profuseness of annotation which frequently anticipates the ingenuity, supersedes the industry, and consequently retards rather than promotes the improve ment of the pupil. EXAMINATION QUESTIONS, adapted to the points discussed in the Notes, and IN DEXES, are also added ; and the Series, it is hoped, will constitute a convenient introduction to the niceties and clegancies of Greek Literature, and to the perusal of that portion of the relics of antiquity which is best calculated to interest a youthful mind. Each play may be had separately; and it is intended that all shall be published in a cheap duodecimo form. Sold by Baldwin, Longman, Whittaker, and all other Booksellers. STANDARD SCHOOL BOOKS.

MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Yesterday an unusually numerous Meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates took place at the Sessions House, Clerken well-green, for the despatch of county business. The Chair was taken by F. CONST, Esq. A discussion took place as to the salary to be al lowed to the new Governor of the House of Correc tion. From the report it appeared the late Go vernor (Mr. Vickery) received 4001. salary, and perquisites of the value of 180/. more. It was de cided by a large majority that the perquisites should be abolished, and the salary raised to 6001. The next question was, whether any, and what, retiring pension should be granted to Mr. Vickery. Mr. Sergeant PELL, adopting the recommendation of the Committee, proposed 2001. per annum.— Carried. PAUPER LUNATIC ASYLUM. On the motion of Mr. Sergeant PELL, it was or dered that 63,2001. be raised by mortgage of the county rate, for the purpose of erecting and finish ing the proposed Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell. EXPENCES OF CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. Sir PETER LAURIE brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, for the appointment of a committee to consider the expediency of having two Grand Juries for the county sitting at one time, and adopting other measures for facilitating the course of criminal justice at the Old Bailey, and lessening the present enormous expences. In his capacity as a Magistrate, both of the city and county, he had pe culiar opportunities of seeing the heavy expences attending their judicial proceedings. In the May Session alone the expences allowed to witnesses were not less than 2,9171. In the May Session, no less than 1801. was paid to witnesses on bills which were thrown out. In one case, at the May Ses sion, a man, named Grey, was indicted for stealing some tips, value is. 6d. He begged Mr. Brough ton's attention to this case, as he held in his hand a certificate signed by that gentleman, allowing a wit ness for six days' attendance at the office. There was a further allowance of five days' attendance be fore the Grand Jury. The bill was finally thrown out, and yet the county was saddled with an ex pence of no less than 61. for this trifling eighteen penny case. In one Session he found, upon inves tigation, that while the amount of property charged to have been stolen was only 8001., the expence of the prosecutions was between 3,0001. and 4,0001. The city was subjected to an annual expence of 15,000/. for maintaining the county debtors and cri minals, and all they got for it was the empty honour of electing a sheriff; but he had reason to believe the time would soon come when the city would de cline retaining that honour at so great an expence. All he wanted was a committee to investigate the subject. After some further observations, the wor thy Magistrate made his motion to the effect as above given. Mr. Serjeant PELL admitted the importance of the subject, and he was free to say, that if Sir Peter Laurie could succeed in reducing the present enor mous—he would add, scandalous—expences of our criminal proceedings, he would deserve the lasting thanks of the country. With respect to the esta blishing two distinct grand juries, it could not be done without a breach of the Constitution, and he should tremble to see it attempted. Mr. MILLS would vote for a committee if Sir Peter Laurie would consent to limit it to an inquiry into the best mode of expediting justice, and lessen ing its expences, and omit altogether the question about an additional grand jury. Sir PETER LAURIE having amended his motion in the manner suggested by Mr. Mills, it was put and carried unanimously. It being now four o'clock, the ballots, which had been going on for the offices of Governor of the House of Correction and County Surveyor, were closed, and the numbers announced, when Mr. Chesterton was declared to be zhe successful candi date for the former office, and Mr. Moseley for the latter. The Court then adjourned. ELOPEMENT. A short time since, Mr. Hardy, surgeon, of Dron field, Derbyshire, eloped with the only daughter of the late Cecil, Esq., and taking the circuitous route of Dublin, arrived safely at Gretna-green, where the indissoluble knot was tied. The fugitives then returned to Sheffield to the house of Mr. Hardy's brother, who is also a disciple of Escula pins, and who is said to have been an accessory to their flight. Mrs. Cecil, the mother of the young lady, was, as may be supposed, highly exasperated against all the parties, and has since endeavoured to gratify her feelings by resorting to every means of annoying them in her power. She first charged Mr. Hardy, the husband, with a felony, for having taken away the clothes and jewels of the lady, as was men tioned in different newspapers at the time; but the Magistrate, before whom the charge was heard, dis missed it, on the ground that the articles had been given to her daughter by Mrs. Cecil. Thus disap pointed, she obtained a.habcas corpus, directed to the Messrs. Hardy, to bring the body of Clara Ceci lia Hardy before a judge; and they accordingly, on Monday last, obeyed the writ by producing the young lady before Mr. Justice Bayley, at his cham bers, when the Learned Judge, after examining her in private, restored her to the custody of her husband, and dismissed the case. Besides the habeas corpus, Mrs. Cecil had also obtained an order from the Master of the Rolls for the Messrs. Hardy and Mrs. Hardy to appear before him ; and in obe dience thereto the parties attended at the Rolls' Court on Tuesday, when his Honour, in order to save the trouble of procuring the necessary evidence from Scotland to lay before a Master, ordered that the parties should be married according to the law of England; and after the ceremony that the Master snould examine into the circumstances of the par ties, and report what settlement, if any, the husband should make upon the wife. Mr. Hardy, of Shef field, was relieved, by consent of Mrs. Cecil's coun sel, from being further a party in the cause.— Morning Paper. Men._ .. Women. Total.

From the statement published by the Synod, it appears that more than half die in infancy ; this circumstance may account for the general appearance of health and strength of those who survive, and likewise for the very few instances of deformity observed throughout Rus sia, for most of the sickly and deformed children are carried off either by the rigour of the climate, the inattention of the parents, and the want of proper medical assistance, or by the administra tion of baptism, which in the Greek church is performed by immersion, and that too in water of the ordinary temperature ; as therefore none but the strong and healthy children survive, it is not astonishing that there should be such extra ordinary instances of longevity, particularly in a country where the diet is so plain, and the air so pure and invigorating. According to the state ment of the Synod there have died between the ages of 90 and 100, 4,637, 100 and 110 745 110 120 .150 120 125 3l 125 130 l6 • 130 135 135 140 1 The following is a comparative statement of the murders, deaths by accidents, and suicides throughout the empire for the five years ending Dec. 31, 1828 : 1824. 1825. 1826. 1827. 1828.

It is supposed that 50 murders have been committed this win- ter in St. Petersburgh, and when a dead body is found which exhibits any marks of violence, it is usual for the police to send to every house in the town to enquire if any occupant is missing. The annexed statement of fires, inundations, &c. for the year 1828, may not be uninteresting, there were consumed by fire -32 Churches and Monasteries. 1,169 Houses in towns. 13,012 Houses in villages, &c. 65 Mills. 61 Distilleries and Manufactories. 11,000 Quarters of corn. 1,857 Tons of hay. It may be necessary to remark under this head, that by far the greater part of the houses in Russia are constructed of wood, indeed few, except in large towns, are built of any other material ; this may account for the number of fires. Insurance offices are now established at St. Petersburgh upon the English system, which is closely imitat ed, even in all the minor details, or in the size, decorations, and wording of the policies. It is calculated that more than 200,000 quar ters of corn have been destroyed by hail, inunda tions, and storms, which this year have been un usually destructive ; and amongst the losses sus tained by agriculture may be enumerated 110,000 head of cattle. In my statement of the population of St. Petersburgh, which I . had the pleasure of sending you a short time since, you will perceive that the aggregate amount of soldiery is enumerated at 56,000. I have reason to believe the garrison (properly so called) does not exceed 10,000 men, the rest is made up of sailors, invalids, police, and supernumeraries ; amongst the number are about 10,000 women, who I presume must be soldiers' wives, and consequently considered as forming a part of the military population of the capital. The usual garrison of St. Petersburgh during peace consists of 40,000; the splendid regiments, which were the admiration of every one in the early part of last year, have run their career of glory, and have been sacrificed to the ambition of their leaders; they in the language of Shakespear— " Have for a fantasy and trick of fame, Gone to their grave like beds, fought for a plat Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause." A friend, on whose word I can rely, saw them depart on their long and dreary march of 2,0(10 miles. He assured me that not the slightest feeling of enthusiasm was displayed on the occa sion ; all were silent and spiritless, and appeared to part with their friends with the gloomy antici pation that they would see them no more. I particularly admired what is now termed the tcnuc of the Russian guards. The cavalry is composed of a body of some of the finest formed men I eier saw, great attention is paid to the horses, which are all stud bred, spew much blood, and are but little inferior, if not equal, to the English. I was much struck with the Chevalier Guards. The uniform of this regiment is white, the cuirasses brass, and the helmets of the most classical form ; the horses arc all black. I saw several squadrons of this distinguished corps on the march, and assure Von they reminded me more of a body of knights proceeding to a tournament than a detachMent of modern dra goonsgoing to parade. The men in general are by no means remarkable for their size ; they would not, I should imagine, average more than ' , five feet nine or ten, but some few are of a gigantic stature ; two men in particular I re marked, who must have been at least seven feet high. It has been observed that the tallest men in the French service are fair, indicating a northern origin or a German extraction. • In Russia it is the reverse, the taller men arc gen rally from the south and consequently dark. Amongst the Foot Guards was a Finland regi ment ; the men were generally short ; some, I am sure, would not have passed muster in any English marching regiment. I must do the military system of Russia the justice to say, that no troops in the world can be more quiet and orderly ; the jealousy which exists between the military and common people in England is un known here, and riots never occur. Numerous as the sentinels are, every attention consistent with military discipline is paid to the feelings and convenience of the public. It is well :known that at night the French capital is guarded iiith as much vigilance as a besieged tbrtress ; the:: fearful cries of "passer an large," or" Qui vive on la mod," are still heard in every quarter of Paris, and the sentinel is instructed to look for a reply in due form, even from a foreigner who may be unable to give it. " They order these things better" in St. Petersburgh ; here is no danger of running inadvertently on a fixed bayo r net ; the sentinel, or watchman call out, it is true, but merely to convince you they are awake, and expect no reply in return. I have traversed St. Petersburgh at different hours of the night, and have never experienced any molestation whatever. I likewise much admire the way in which the crendarmerie, or mounted police, discharge their duty ; they attend (as in France) at all proces- , sions or fairs, in short, on all public occasions where a crowd is certain and disorder possible ; but their swords are not drawn ; they merely act as constables, and, I think, conduct themselves with more consideration and forbearance than are really due to such a " swinish multitude" as a Russian mob. This eulogium is really due to the subordinates ; of the principals I cannot say as much, for it must be confessed that the police establishment in Russia (to a stranger at least) is annoying in the extreme; a system of " es pionage" is kept up in every respect worthy of t'ouche's administration, and the revolutionaty days of France. A well known northern traveller was residing some time since at an hotel in St. Pc tersburgh, occupied in writing his travels for pub lication ; every precaution was taken, but yet the police received intelligence that he was writing something, and many inquiries were made as to the nature of the composition in which he was engaged; he certainly did not experience any material interruption during the prosecution of the work, but when he applied for his passport to return home, his departure was delayed by all the expedients that malice or ill-nature could sug gest. Foreigners are particularly annoyed, and if the slightest suspicion is attached to the cha • racter of the stranger, he is kept under the strictest surveillance; so strict indeed is the police, that a new billet of residence must be ob- rained every time a foreigner changes his lodg ings, in default of which " the offender " (these arc the words), N N ill incur the legal fine of two rubles for each day.

But am st ig from my subject, I intended i d s address a 'ie titi o e n this letter to. a military contribution, and as , such shall conclude with a slight sketch of the recruiting system in Russia. It is probably not generally known in England, that the conscrip tion in Russia is on an entirely different plan to what it is in other countries in Europe : when recruits are wanted for the army here, a levy is made upon the population at large ; there have been two of these demands lately, the first was I two out of 500, the second one out of 400, an assessment that would produce altogether about 350,000 men. According to the Russian system it appears that none but the peasantry arc 'liable to be drawn ; the peasants or serfs belong to the landholder by a feudal tenure, and are bought and sold with the estate ; the number of able bodied men on each estate is duly ascertained, and the proprietor must give up what the go verment demands; the landholder therefore is the loser, the peasant merely exchanges one state of slavery for another; those destined for the army must be strong and healthy men, in other respects the authorities never interfere, but leave the choice of individuals to .be settled between the master and his men. When the men are given up, one half of the hair is cut off close to the head, to ensure discovery in case of desertion ; they arc then marched to the depot ; here he is examined as to his corporeal qualifications, and if passed, must submit to the entire loss of his hair and beard, a loss above all others the most grating to his feelings ; he then undergoes a severe training, at the expiration of which he becomes . the most passive, the most obedient animal in the world, and though in a state of the most abject slavery, with a penny a day for his allowance, and the coarsest food for his support, he is taught to congratulate himself on his elcva- ton, and — to look with disdain on the class of in- dividuals with whom he was once numbered. Sixty young Jews have recently entered the army, and as they possessed a superior degree of intel ligence, were promised immediate promotion in case of their conversion to Christianity, the terms were acceded to, all were baptized, and are now gone to prove the sincerity of their faith by a crusade against the infidels.
