By JAMES PRIOR, Eq. Printed for Baldwin and Cradock, London. %* A learned and distinguished Prelate of the Church of Irelund, thus writes respecting this work : " It is difficult to express the gratification I have re ceived from this work. It is quite in another style and spirit from that of the great mass of our Modern biographi cal! book-wrights. A juster praise I cannot give it than this, that so far as the materials at doe author's command allowed, the work is worthy of its great subject. This, to you, will appear much—for you know I almost idolize Mr. Burke; but I speak deliberately. 'l' * His (the writer's) principles are excellent; moderate without tame ness ; liberal without compromise. His style of composi tion, chaste, easy, and simple—no effort at fire writing, yet often a glow of natural eloquence.

" The OA and New Testament are one book, and the most admirable and instinctive book in the whole world. In the Old Testament we have the most extensive and en tertaining history that was ever comprised in aNy language. In the New Testament we have beautiful allusions to the customs of the old ; we have the miracles of the birth, suf ferings, wid highest exaltation of God incat nate ; and a faithful and ravishing account of those mansions of heavenly glory and eternal happiness, to which, through his infinite condescension and love, we have a sure and in defeasible title. The Bible, therefore, is perfect; arid the nearer and more closely it is examined, the more its excel knee becomes visible. It affords, like the manna which fell from heaven, food for every palate."

This was an actiun.of Quare Impedit, brought to determine in whom is vested the tight of nomina ' tion - to the perpetual curacy of Greyrigg, in the parish of Kendal, and within the diocese of Chester. The plaintiff in the present action was presented by a majority of the landholders within tile chapelry of Greyrigg to the Bishop of Chester to be licensed, but the Bishop refused his licence, on the ground that the right of nomination did not belong to the inhabitants of the chapelry, . but to the vicar of the parish of Kendal. To determine the question the present action was brought. After a long trial the Jury returned a verdict finding th at the right of. nomination w as i n t h e ma jority of the landholders of the chapelry of Grey rigg, with the concurrence of the vicar. REX V. CRANE. This was an indictment for perjury. The present indictment, arose out of an action which had been tried at Lancaster. during the last Summer Assizes, and it was on the evidence which the defendant had given on that trial that the allegations of perjury were assigned. The action had been brought by a person of the name of Deeming, against the gentle man at that time High Sheriff, for illegally execut ing a writ which had been issued out of the County Court. The present defendant was on that occasion a very material witness, and among other things he swore that he saw young Mr. Chew, the attorney, go to 'Mr. Deeming's door with the bailiffs, and heard hint tell them to go in, and take the goods, for there was enough to satisfy the execution. That statement was entirely and in every part false, for Mr. Chew had not be en th a t day in the h ouse o f Deemin g , or. any where ia the neighbourhood. ANT evid ence h a d b een a dd uce d, Mr. Justic eßA YLEY thought t h e ev id ence t oo li g ht to conv i ct the defe n d ant of so serious a charge as wilful perjury. The prison er was accordingly acquitted: PRICE 7D NEW METROPOLIS POLICE. The business of the new Police Commissioners will not be to administer the law, as Justices of the Peace—the old Police Magistrates will remain for that purpose, under some new modifications ; they alone will hear the cases of persons accused, am adjudge the amount of the penalty, where summary jurisdiction is given to them by law. The new Po lice Board will only attend to the maintenance of order, and the prevention of crimes. With respect to the new Police Rate, which it described as likely to overwhelm the parishes in ruin, no snisrepresentation can be knowingly greater on the part of those who advance it. Do they choose to forget the extinction of the charge now levied on the County Rate for many portions of the existing Police, which will be merged in the new system ? Will the suppression of the watch-rate be nothing ? These savings, it has been calculated, will exceed the nets Police Rate. We understand that the intention to bring the new Police into existence in a certain portion of the western part of the metropolis will be certainly car ried into effect on Michaelmas-day (the 29th in stant), a period which is selected as being most convenient for the different parishes, as connected with the payment of their services. The new Police Commissioners, with a view to consult the wishes of the parochial authorities, invited them separately to conferences by deputations, at which every attention was shown to the suggestions they offered. The new Policem,m will be in active training for a week previous to their being sworn into office, with the view of making them acquire a precise knowledge of their duties. Each man, as well as each officer, will be furnished with a small book containing printed instructions, defining, as clearly as possible, the exact course to be pursued on all occasio►►s, and placing limits to their conduct which they must not overstep. They will be obliged to reside within the section where they are sta tioned, and in lodgings provided for them, so that their services may always be available in case of emergency. Each man will carry a stall of lance wood, handsomely painted, in a pocket of his coat; he will be furnished with a pair of handcuffs, and at night with a rattle on an improved principle, which is so small that it may be put into the waistcoat pocket, and yet of power equal to any of the pre sent lumbering pieces of furniture carried by the watchmen.— Observer. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messagcr des Chambr-s of Fr:(l..y.) PARIS, SEPT. 10.—Our 'correspondent in Spain informs us thre, thanks to the zeal of the secret agents of the Government at London, the Apo-to lical patty had again baffled the good intentions o f Ferdinand. Jr was hoped that on his marriage an amnesty would be proclaimed for most political offences; but this measure, which has been so lea 4 expected by the Peninsula, will be indefinitely ad journed. They have persuaded him, by showing. him the reports which M. Bermudez sends fro;;, London, that there was a junta formed in that city, which corresponded with all the discharged officors and with all the discontented In Spain ; and that a vast conspiracy was organized to foment a new re volution. These reports, ridiculous as they are, connected with the daily denunciations of th e Count d'Espagne, have sufficed to make Ferdinand per severe in the system of rigour which since the re storation has brought so many evils upon the Pe ninsula. It is to these ill-founded suspicions that all must attribute the measure adopted againq the officers who live retired in Andalusia; it is fi.ont this cause, also, that we must ascribe the proiecTs which are contemplated against all those who 'hare borne arms for the Constitution. The cause depending between M. Aguado and the editors of the Constitulionnel, the Quotidien:le, and the Jimmied du Commerce, have beau out off t , ) The first Friday in November, at the desire of t parties and on account of the absence of their coun sel. M. Aguado demands of each of the three Jour nals 100,000 francs damages, on the ground that the editon of those Papers have represented him as guilty of swindling on the subject o f the finances of the Spanish Government, as only duping people, its having decieved the public, and as being liable to the penalties pronounced by the law for mintse of trust, and fraud.

Io.—The Aviso, of the Bth Sep tember says the Cybele frigate, armed en flute, snikci on the 2d for the Levant, with field equipage, h,,- pital stores, artillery, and money for our troops in the Morea. It is still affirmed that M. de Rigny will sail on board the Conqueranl, which still bears his Acniral's trig. We were mistaken in stating that he had or dered it to be struck. (From the Journal des Debats.) Has the sending of Turkish plenipotentiaries to the Russian General's quarters suspended the victo rious march of Gen. Diebitsch upon the c;:pi!,,i of the Ottoman empire ? Has the squadron of Admiral Greig slackened its operations against the last ports of the Euxine, which have not yet submitted to tht power of his vessels, from the mouth of the Danube to the opening of the Bosphorus ? if we refer to the manifesto with which the elm paign was opened,—if we turn back to the dec!.a..- dons which informed Europe of the passage of the Pruth, we must conclude that the tardy negociations now drawn from the Divan by fear, have hitherto allowed a free course to military events. Even these nrgociations only proceed from a desii-o of peace on the part of Mahmoud—from an instinct of preservation, which prompted him at any price to cast some negotiators before the feet of the conqurr in,* Russians, as he flung six month. before his Cirnies and his Asiatics before the Muscovite columns.— From the plains of Bujukdcre, from his cant!) at Tehifflick, he has heard the cannon, and his capital has been shaken by it. Thirty thousand men only served to lay open the Balkan. In such a situation it becomes necessary to gain a few days, even hours. He has not dared to talk of an armistice to the con querors ; he has sent them words of peace, and he awaits the answer at 30 leagues from the last field of battle. His predecessors were buried under the ruins of the empire, bat Mahmoud, who has within the last four years changed so many things in Turkey has, perhaps, also regenerated the courage of the Sultans. t was, doubtless, against such a case foreseen as the consequence of opening negotiations that the Emperor of Russia, on opening the campaign, de clared before God and before Europe, that be would not lay down arms until he had gained the obj;:ct for which he took them up, and that no propositions which had not for their base the indemnity of the expences of the war, the restitution of the disputed places, and the free navigation of the Bla•k Sea, should stop the march of a single soldier of his. Now, however, when 30 leagues scarcely sepa rate his advanced posts from the walla of Constan tinople,—now when the Porte, deaf to the last mo ment to the most simple propositions of the mediat ing Powers, relative to the isolated question of Greece, sends, in despair, a" negotiator in advance, without instructions of a satisfactory nature, and without conditions previously discussed and gua ranteed, is it likely that General Diebitsch will him self interpose a barrier to the torrent, on purpose to give time to his enemy to prepare perhaps new ob stacles to his passage ? Turkish negociations ! How long they last, and to what they tend, are known. When successful they form truces for a few years, containing in them nearly all the germ of future war. Turkey already longs for an occasion to retake that which she has this moment ceded. The Emperor Nicholas, after, so much sac.i flees, and after a first campaign of doubtful charac ter, will not have laid open the Balkan to his troops tnerely to allow a conciliating motion of the alarmed Mahmond, to stop, as if by enchantment his ves- sets and his so!dieis. The Russians have not come within thirty leagues of the Bosphorus, in order that the passage of their first merchant ship in the Strait should become, for some months from this time, the origin of a fresh Chancery discussion. In fact, this would not be moderation ; but another explication for such conduct must be sought. Well ! this explication, let us avow the fact, can now no longer be found in the threatening atti. tulle of Europe. England must of course take her part in the matter, but the time is past when she could intervene by menace in this great quarrel. She could have done so a year ago ; she can do so no more. She does well to appeal to the moderation of the Emperor Nicholas. 1:1e has no more intention; of listening to that appeal, than to resign himself up to the interests of the Porte in the future negocia. tions. In a few weeks her vessels will not be so leisurely floating under the walls of the Seraglio. With respect to Austria, its political nullity,- arising from so many causes, appears more manifest than ever from late events. M. de Metternich has, as it were, dissolved, together with the Holy Alliance. A statesman in the last year, when the Russians raised in disorder the siege of ilistria, behold him since the battle of the l2tli of June fallen down to the rank of the most petty diplomatist in Europe. it is he who has fascinated the eyes of the Sultan with promises which he is not in a state to fulfil. It is he who has led the Sultan into a foolish and obstinate resistance ; and with the exception of some• military news, partially reported and distorted in the Austrian Observer, he has done nothing for his friend, —not even by sending him a sincere note. Certainly one of the great mystitications of the age is that of the Cabinet of Vienna in the affairs of the East. M. de Metternich is very fortunate in having to ex/Atilt ohifmhsiselefotmobtitonaotitotensr.espTechteinugit,khce of ilto v tu i r i i i t n l g s so g n ;t lp c oirl i s,le ty ts.. more to complain of on this point.

James Sulbl4, whose trial for forgery was not concluded on Saturday when we went to press, was afterwards found Guilty, but recommended to mercy. :,olonion Beillene!. and Philip Levy were indicted for stealing a 50/. Bank of England note, and six watches and other articles ofjewellery to the amount of 3001., the property of Matthias Lesser. The prisoners, on being placed at the bar, with. drew their former plea of " not guilty," and pleaded " guilty." The robbery, it will be recollected, took place in Worcester. The prisoner Barliener, who ►s a German Jew pedlar, said he was a stranger in this country, and had nobody to speak to his charac ter. The other prisoner is an English Jew-boy, and received a good character from his former master and others, as well as from the prosecutor himself, who strongly recommended him to mercy, expressing his conviction that he had been seduced away by the other prisoner. Walter Rennning was indicted for feloniously marrying Sarah Farmer, his former wife, Johanna, being still alive. There was no evidence of the latter marriage, except an authenticated extract from a pariah registry, produced by one of the officers, who knew nothing about it beyond his having re ceived it from somebody else. And the only evi dence offered of the first marriage was a dirty piece of paper to the following effect : " I do hereby certify, that on the sth day of March, 1818, I canonically and according to the rights of the R. C. Ritual, joined in matrimony, Walter Flemming and Bearer, Joanna Donovan, both (at that time) of this parish.

Any other document necessary will be given. "M. O'D? The reading cf this precious morceaa excited considerable laughter. There was nothing to show that it had not been drawn up by the lady herself, or any of her friends, as, like the other document tendered in evidence, it was wholly unaathenticated. The prisoner was of course acquitted. Patrick Connelly was indicted fur a similar offence, in having married Catherine Fogarty during the lifetime of his former wife Eleanor. In this case, also, there was insufficient proof of the martiage, and the Jury therefore returned a verdict of Not Francis Parsons, aged 26, stood indicted for stealing t .vo hams and 1001 b. of bacon, value 51., on the 21th of July, the property of Mr. Thomas Brown, of Grafton -street, Soho ; and Thomas and Margaret Jackson, for receiving the same, wcll knowing them to have been stolen.

The unhappy difference, however, between the master and operative spinners, continues in all its invete racy ; but a hope is afforded of its speedy conclusion, by the general feeling excited against so protracted a contest amongst the respectable inhabitants, a great number of whom have signed an address to both masters and men, of which the following is a copy ;---" We whose names are hereunto subscribed, viewing with deep concern the ex- trente depression of business in general in this town, arising partly from the unhappy diffetences betwixt you, respect fully solicit a meeting of any given number of either of you, in order • that by reasoning with each other, you may effect an amicable arrangement; that business may go on its 11.1- tuna course, and that the danger of unpleasant distur bances (which becomes greater every day, and which it is to be feared will be the result), may be dispelled." We heartily wish that the god intentions thus manifested, may be followed up by such as have influence over the contending .parties.—Manchester. Advertiser. BONAPARTE AND CIIA R LES Fox.—One - when BONAPARTE, in one of his frequent fits of ill humour, was expressing his contempt of the whole human race, I observed ►o him, that if the gew-paws of the state excited the admiration of the vulgar, there were same men who were above being dazzled by them; and I tnentiooed, as an example, the celebrated CHARLES Fox, who, anti cipating the conclusion of the peace of Amiens, had come to Paris, where he was remarkable for his extreme sim .. plicity of manner and appearance. " You :.re right," said the First Consul, " Fox is a truly great man." 80. NAPARTE was always delighted to ;tee Fox; and when ever he had an interview with him, he never failed to te:l me of the pleasure he enjoyed in conversing with the great English statesman, who, he said, was truly worthy of his high celebrity. He regarded him as a man of the very ord e r, an d ardently wished to tre , t with him in his subsequent relations with England.
