Jennings, a wealthy gentleman farmer residing at Burythorpe, a village near Malton. Mr. Jennings had been lost since the night of the 21 st of December, at which time he left the Crown and Anell°r I nn, near th e b r id ge a t M a lt on, t o proceed to Norton, on the opposite side of the river, where his hnr . se had been left. He never arrived at Norton, and inquiries were instituted as to his whereabouts. It was ascer atained that he had been seen by a Norton gentleman, c Yard adjoining the bridge, about half-past eight 1 th e "en ing, and as he could not be traced 6 ? It was at once suspected that he had mistaken his Nr_a3r, and instead of crossing the bridge to Norton,,had walked_ aftF that trvii the yard into the river Derwent. On the 24th of C eeember (ten horsemen having previously scoured the 1) -°11 0, 11 „ tr3r ,for miles round) a number of boats and drags were b r e d e l'' # ' l , 2 and during that and the four following days the miles,..'l° river was most rigorously searched for about six it liein„, ,g s,' l l:i'posed that the current, which was rather 13 n r )4r ) 11 --, 'a carried him away.

A body of 50 men was also set to ex plore the county for miles round Melton, and every ditch, 1 1 !1 °) wood, stream, pond, well, and sluice about Malton has also' been thoroughly searched, but to no purpose.

LA W. INTEL. THB MAGAZIR_ES. Blackwood.—ln this number " What Will. Ire Do With It" comes to a conclusion. It is most skilfully arranged, and exhibits that masterly power of delineation which can only be found in the productions of genius. After the many doubts that have arisen in the mind of the reader as to who Sophy will be, it is not likely that any one will have arrived at the actual solution of the problem. The most satisfactory intelligence con• veyed to us, however, is the fact of Darrell's again appearing in the world, after his long seclusion. When we have learned that Sophy is no longer "the outlaw-child of Ignominy and Fraud, but the starry daughter of Poetry and Art," and that Darrell has consented to devote his talents to his own and his country's glory, nothing more can be desired by the most sanguine, or demanded by the most exacting. There is a paper entitled, "How to boil Peas," which is well deserving of attention. It relates the old legend of two pilgrims who, to perform a penance, had to walk a certain distance with peas in their shoes, and one easily performed his task in consequence of having taken the pre caution to boil the peas before he started. The illustration is ingeniously applied to the evils of human existence : "Troubles we shall all have, plenty of them, Heaven help us I But it has been admirably said, that the worst are those which never come;' certainly they are those which we run to meet half-way, and look at through magnifying glasses when they do arrive. If life must be is pilgrimage, let us put a stout heart to it, and not make it a more painful one than it need be. Let us set the palmer's hat on jauntily, and take a little wine with us in that medieval-looking bottle. The peas must be in the shoes ; that makes part of our sentence ; little things in themselves, but with a won derful capacity for making themselves unpleasant; but there can be no religious or moral obligation against boffing them, and the difference it makes is wonderful. The secrete per esser felice is not a difficult one, yet few things seem so little understood by the pilgrims of this highly civilised nineteenth century. Some men, instead of boiling their peas, seem to take a pride and pleasurein choosing for them selves the largest and the hardest—Brobdig,nag, marrowfats —and disposing them conscientiously under the tenderest places.. It would be nothing to them to walk through life without a grievance. Grievances are part of their inherited privileges as Englishmen. They must have come in with Magna Charta and Habeas Corpus." There is an able article on the subject of "Popular Literature--the Periodical Press," which contains many valuable suggestions, and makes some striking comments on the wonderful extension of serial literature which has recently taken place. °RC of the remarks that most attracts attention is that on the oratory of the present day. It is truly stated that we need not be " much afraid of com paring our living eloquence with the eloquence that has passed away," and that if Parliamen tary speeches do not now excite such attention, it is because much that is uttered in debate is fore stalled by the discussions of the press. It is also observed that, because the style of speaking is altered, it does not follow that it is worse. In illustration of these remarks, a short extract i s taken from She r id an ' s famouS Begum speech, which Burke asserted to be unparalelled in oratory. This it one of the sentences :—" Justice is not this halt and miserable object, it is not the ineffective bauble of an Indian pagoda, it is not the portentous phantom of despair, it is not like any fabled mon ster formed in the eclipse of reason and found in some unhallowed grove of superstitious darkness, and political dismay." It is said that this astonish ing description may present the reader with an idea of the much-vaunted eloquence of the past, and it is certain that if Lord Derby or Mr. Disraeli made any similar observations, the manner in which they would be received would be the reverse of flattering. " The Field of T ow t on M oor " i s t h e title of some verses that are interesting. They are suggested by the circumstance of roses flourishing perpetually on the soil that was once the battle field during the wars of York and Lancaster. " The Royal Proclamation of India" is the last subject mentioned ; there is nothing particularly striking, however, to be met with in it. It is truly said, in conclusion, that "there can be no happy future for India if Victoria's noble message of peace to India does not find an echo in every English heart." The second part of "A Cruise in Japanese Waters" is very interesting. It gives at first a detailed account of Japanese modes and manners of life, which arc very singular. Afterwards we are presented with a condensed narrative of Japan's intercourse with other nations. At the present time it is very desirable to gain information on this subject, and what is here written will be found to repay perusal. Dublin.—The first article is on " Dr. Arnold ;" as may be supposed, it is an interesting one. It is truly said that we can now ;arrive at an impar tial conclusion concerning his merits, for " sixteen years have elapsed since the grave closed over him at Rugby, amidst the heartfelt grief of several generations of pupils who had had the inestimable benefit of his teaching." It is satisfactory to trace the career of such a man who was so signally use ful in his generation, and it will be found that a very fair summary of his life is here given. " Gerald Fitzgerald"is continued. Not m uc h p rogress i s ma d e in ths portion, however; the unfortunate youth is not yet recovered from the effects of the great suf ferings he underwent in Paris during the Reign of Terror. In the last chapter he is presented to a cardinal of great eminence, who announces to him an important mystery relating to his birth. " The Great Duke at the Sculptor's" is an interesting paper, which records some visits paid by the late Duke of Wellington to a sculptor's. The remarks are characteristic of the duke, as is the independ ence of his actions, refusing to be assisted in any way. It is mentioned, as a strange coincidence, that the last visit paid to the studio was on the 18th of November —only twelve months prior to that day when that venerable frame, cold in death, passed by to its last resting place in St. Paul's Cathedral. " - Wilhelm Tell" is the subject of an article which is evidently the result of research. After entering into the question in detail, and in vestigating the opinion of many writers, the un• satisfactory conclusion is arrived at that though such a man as Tell undoubtedly existed, lie was not of any historical importance, and did not deliver his country. It is not probable, however, that a nation should so long have cherished the memory of the man had he not held the high position assigned to him as the champion of freedom, and the influence that his name has obtained is here powerfully expressed : " And, let us add that, whatever may be the uncertainty on the subject of the deeds and character of Wilhelm Tell, the ideal and the sentiments that invested him with so much heroism, are the vital, lofty, immortal spi r it th a t an i ma t es a whole people, and has brought them gloriou s an d trium phant through all the vicissitudes of time. . Such a spirit has never ceased to.breathe in the mountains and valleys of Switzerland ; it has inspired other Swiss heroes, as in the Appenzel, for instance, in the fifteenth century ; it kindled the genius of Schiller, whose masterpiece, Wilhelm Tell, was the song of the Germanic Swan, expressing the pur es t aspirations and the sen ti ments which ennobled his soul. It inspired Rossini with the Alpine sublimities, expressed marvellously in his magnificent opera. And it is impos sible to contemplate, without emotion, the nobler vibrations of the human soul, created by that Divine Spirit, whenever Schiller's Wilhelm Tell' is performed in that blessed land, or whenever an assembly of Swiss patriots or legisla tors is inaugurated by Rossini's overture to his Tell, and its members proclaiming enthusiastically that their senti ments and history are embodied in that splendid harmony ; thus the human soul lives in the arts. But as the love of lib e rty is nothing more than a transient effervescence, when devoid of the religious sentiments, the confederation of the Swiss hearts is immortal, because the people of Switzer land, from their industrious cities—from their wooded and snowy mountains—from their grassy valleys—from the shades of the. plain, ever contemplate, on the old soil of Helvetia, the deep vault of Heaven, above the social sphere, and Him, th e un i versa l Benefactor, Creator of all.'' " Periwigs and Petticoats" is the title of some amus ing stanzas, which relate to the projected marriage of Sir Topai and some lady of fashion of the old school. " The Lilliput of the Corniche "is a curi ous paper telling the historical associations con nected with Monaco, a seaport in the Mediterranean, which has been the scene of many singular and ro mantic events. " Our Foreign Courier " presents the usual information regarding French current literature. This is a very useful undertaking, and enables the reader to obtain what is here styled, " a succinct resume of all the important .publica tions which come under the head of foreign, and more especially of French, literature." " A Day at Bahia," which is in the Empire of the Brazils, may amuse some from the lively sketch presented of the place and its people. There are some remarks on the subject of " M. de Montalembert on the Indian Debate," which will repay perusal. It is said that the applause which the speech of Berryer was received has been caught up and re-echoed in every civilised country, in spite of Jesuit spies and policemen of absolutism," and that with few excep tions the leaders of the English press have spoken out with a masculine vigor and a fearless eloquence which will hereafter be recorded to their immortal honour. There is an independent tone in this article which attracts 'the attention, and some of the views taken on the policy of France appear very accurate. In speaking of the Emperor it is said, " In our opi nion Louis Napoleon's mind is wanting in breadth and grandeur ; but this very deficiency gives him a certain practical advantage. A narrow mind sees clearly, as far as it goes; it does not wait to look rount and round, to comprehend, to modify, to adjust, but it is therefore ready to act and to act confidently." There is an elaborate treatise on Carlyle's work on Frederick the Great, which will iaterest many ; it is an able criticism, but it must appear to impartial observers that there is too much admiration expressed for the- author, whose pecu liarities of style mar the effects of his great talents. To those who have not been able to peruse the work in question, this paper will present a useful epitome, LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. Railways.

(This _nay OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) STEALING A POST-OFFICE ORDER. James Jukes, a recruit in the Royal Horse Artillery, was indicted for stealing a Post-office order for the payment of 10s., the property of John Himes. The prisoner was also indicted with forging the name of the prosecutor. He pleaded not guilty. John Himes said—l am in the Royal Artillery. The pri, saner is a recruit. He occupied part of the same room. My sergeant, on the 21st December, read a letter for rr. e which I had that morning received by post. It contained an order for 10s. The prisoner heard the contents of the letter. I went out to drill, but before doing so I put the letter under my bed. When I returned I found the letter had been stolen, and shortly afterwards I met the prisoner returning to the barracks from the direction of the Post office. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, and he was given into custody. Mr. Woodley, a clerk in the Post-office at Woolwich, said—On the 21st of - December a Post-office order was brought for the payment of 10s. I paid it. The prisoner, to the best of my belief, is the person who presented the order. I made no particular remarks to the prisoner at the time, but when he was brought back to the Post-office, a short time after he had received the money, I recognised him directly. The order he brought bore the signature of " John Himes." I have ..no doubt the prisoner is the man, but I will not swear positively as to his identity. Sergeant Taylor, of the Royal Horse Artillery, said—l read the latter containing the money-order. The prisoner was very near at the time. Suspicion fell upon]hina, and he was taken before the commanding officer, but he declared he knew nothing about it. The prisoner, who was undefended, said ho knew nothing of the robbery. Two other soldiers were in the room at the time the prosecutor put the letter under his bed. The Recorder re-called Himes, and asked who was pre sent besides the prisoner when he put the letter under his bed, and he replied nobody. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. The Recorder, before passing sentence, asked the ser geant how long the prisoner had been in the regiment ? Tho Sorgeant said he had only enlisted a short time. On doing so he gave the name of Long. It had since been ascertained that his name was Jukes, and that he had re ceived a blank discharge from the regiment a few months ago. The Recor,er said the prisoner had been convicted of a 9 very seriou offence, which was aggrav a t e d b y t h e f act that the pers" robbed was a comrade in th e same mess and in the sam room. The learned gentlemen then sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for fifteen months. William Sullivan, 35, labourer was indicted with forging and uttering an order for the payment of 10s. with intent to defraud. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner, in the month of December last, entered the prosecutor's office, who is a wharfinger on the Surrey side of the water, and pre sented an order, bearing the name of Walsh, for the pay men of 10s. He represented he had been employed by the foreman to work for the prosecutor, and the sum demanded was for wages. The prosecutor's foreman said the prisoner was never employed by him, and amongst the hands em- ployed there was no person of the name of Walsh. The jury without hesitation found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour, NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in disposing of Mint prosecutions, none of which possessed the slightest interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED RoBBERY OF LINEN.-Ax IMPUDENT THIEF.-John Smith, alias M'Carthy, alias Leadbitter, was charged with attempting to steal a basket of linen from a cart in Tottenham-court-road. Gordon, 336 A, said that about 10 o'clock on the previ ous night, while in Oxford-street, he saw the prisoner and another lad together, and knowing him to be the constant companion of thieves, and also to have bees convicted, he followed them, and when at the corner of Tottenham-court road he saw the prisoner go up to a cart containing baskets of linen, and while the other lad kept behind him, and the cart was going slowly along, he unfastened the cord which secured one of the baskets, evidently with the intention of making off with it. He then seized the prisoner, but the other managed to get away and ran down Church-lane. The prisoner said he was crossing the end of Oxford street, and his foot happening to slip he of course put his hand on the basket to prevent himself falling. He did not know what the constable meant by saying he was a thief. He should like to know whether he knew him as a thief. Gordon said ho did, and that he had been convicted in the name of M'Carthy and Leadbitter. He had been convicted at Bow-street for picking pockets, and also charged at this court. The prisoner said if the officer knew it he had better prove it in the usual way, as it was not true. Committed for three months with hard labour. THIS DAYS MA RKETS. HAY MARKETS.

COMMISSIONER TIOLROYD.—We are happy to state that this gentleman, who has been seriously indis posed, is in a fair way of recovery, although ho will not be able to take his seat in court for sonic time. and from its intrinsic merits it affords an agreeable study for all. Frase's.—Frawr commences the new year with spirit. The clever author of " The Interpreter " gives us the first instalnient of a new historical tale of the period o f th e grea t c i v il war. T he scene is laid in Old Northamptonshire, and already the forms of Cavalier and Rour,d!lead, of Lord Falk land and Queen Henrietta, of old Royalist squire and fair maiden, cast their shadoWs over the stage. It is a somewhat bolder flight than Mr. Melville has yet - tried ; but we doubt not that his powers will prove equal to the occasion. " Concerning the Art of Putting Things" is the singular title of an article containing much sense and shrewd observation. It is otherwise called, with more clearn ess , " Th oug h ts on Representation and Misrepresentation," having no reference, as the author eagerly assures us, with any of the rival schemes for a Reform Bill. It re f ers to the wonderful difference which is made in the recital of an occurrence, or even the expression of an opinion, by the way in which it is put. Most people have h a d occas i on t o o b serve what a different aspect affairs have when spoken of by different people. Thus in telling the history of a dispute each person unconsciously gives a favourable turn n to his own sid e o f th e ques ti on , f rom pu tt ing i t in his own point of view. The author observes, with truth, that he is a great man who can put some of the old hacknied truths which every one acknow ledges and no one feels, in such a new and striking light that he pierces the indifference with which these familiar facts are regarded, and makes the reader or the hearer feel thpm. Hhere is an amus ing passage illustrating how much depends on the way things are put— " One can enter into Johnson's feeling when, on hearing that Boswell intended to write his biography, he exclaimed. in mingled terror and fury—' If I thought that he contem plated writing my life, I should render that impossible by taking his I' It was something to shudder at, the idea of going down to posterity as represented by a Boswell I But the great lexicographer was mistaken: the Dutch-painter like biography showed him exactly as he was, the great, little, mighty, weak, manly, babyish mind and heart. And not great men alone, historical personages, have this reason for disquiet and apprehension. . . . . And don't we all know some people—not had people in the main—who never by any chance put the thing' except in the unfavourable way ? I have heard the self-same 'house called a snug littlo place and a miserable little hole; the same man called a lively talker and an absurd rattlebrain ; the same person called a gentlemanlike man and a missy pieceof affect a ti on; th e same i ncome called competence and starvation ; the same horse called a noble animal and an old white cow. The entire difference, of course, lay in the fashion in which the narrator chose, from inherent bonhomie or inherent veljuice, to put the thing. While Mr. Bright probably regards it as the most ennobling occupation of humanity to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market, Byron said, as implying the lowest degree of de. gradation— ' Trust not for freedom to the Franks— They have a king who buys and sells ! And it is just the two opposite ways of putting the same admitted fact, to say that Britain is the first mercantile com munity of the world, and to say that we are a nation of shopkeepers. One way of putting the fact is the dignified, the other is the degrading. If a boy plays truant or falls asleep in church, it just depends on how you put it, or how the story is told, whether you are to see in all this the natu ral thoughtlessness of boyhood, or a first step towards the gallows. Billy Brown stole some of my apples,' says a kind-hearted man : well, poor fellow, I daresay he seldom gets any.' Billy Brawn stole my apples,' says the severe man : ah, the vagabond, he is born to be hanged.' Sydney Smith put Catholic Emancipation as common justice and common sense : Dr. 111'Neile puts it as a great national sin, and the origin of the potato disease." Speaking subsequently of the art of putting things in a comic light, the author censures, with just severity, the love which now ex i s t s for treating grave matters in a ridiculous manner. He says that it is impossible to object to a facetious serial like Punch ; "but to burlesque Macbeth or Othello, to travesty Virgil, to parody the solilo quy in Hamlet, though it may be putting things in a novel and amusing way, approaches to the nature of sacrilege." He admits that sometimes the ludicrous way of putting things has served an admirable purpose, as in Sydney Smith's description of a pos sible French invasion, or of Mrs. Pm tington sweep ing back the Atlantic ocean. These examples, however, refer to the legitimate use of ridicule, and are quite different from the dreary comic histories, grammars, and books setting out with the inten tion to be funny, which are now so common. It requires a reader of very serious purpose to get through their humorous pages. The article con cludes by declaring, in opposition to the question recently propounded by an eminent novelist, that how will he put it ? is the greatest problem of life. " Schloss.Eishausen" is the name of a paper, rightly entitled a mystery. It tells how some fifty years ago a mysterious couple took up their abode at a large country house in Eishausen, a straggling village near Coburg. The Count, as the master of the house was called, was rarely seen, the countess, never. She was kept under lock and key, and only walked in the grounds of the place thickly veiled, attended by a female servant, who never ex - changed a word with her during twenty years They had only two servants, who were forbidden. to speak to those in the village, being watched by a telescope from the window when they went on errands. This state of things went on for twenty years. It is fortunate that a second part is to come, which we must hope will unravel the mystery. The first of two papers on Mr. Gladstone's mission, by the Rev. Barham Zincke, shows an intimate acquaintance with the subject, and makes an in teresting investigation into the principles and con clusions of the work. " Dramatic Treasure Trove" gives us some amusing extracts from plays of the last generation, which go far to prove that the decline of the British stage is of more than recent date. A paper on " Mushrooms" elevates those questionable vegetables to an elevated pla ce in the culinary scale. "Furniture Books" is the tiVe of a paper which makes an extravagant attack upon modern illustrated volumes. " Hints for Vaga bonds" takes a peep at some of the chief places in the Lew Countries. A description of the reading of the Proclamation at Peshawur is among the con cluding papers. Bentley.—Bentley's Miscellany has a brief re sume of the chief literary and political events of the year, which is on the whole decidedly favourable to the existing state - of affairs. The editor contributes an English version of an old Breton Lay of the Fourteenth Century, telling how thirty valiant English knights held combat with thirty bold Bretons in one of the feuds of the time. " The Postern Door," by the author of " Moat Grange," is the continuation, and, we presume, the conclusion of the story of the Canterbury family The reader will remember that, in the last part, Tom Canterbury, the little heir to the large estate, died suddenly under very mysterious cir cumstances. In this part his mother, Mrs. Dawkes, tells the story of his death to her cousin, Thomas rage, and reveals the secret of the murderer. She is slowly dying of grief for the loss of her child, and is weighed down by the knowledge of the real culprit. The description of her will is ingeniously arranged, and the reader rejoices over the defeat of the Major's villanous plans. The story is told with the writer's usual animation of style. The second part of a paper on adventures in India, entitled, "Up among the Pandies" is given. " The Plea sures of the Table" is the title of an amusing paper founded on a French writer's details and definitions, w'aich certainly reverse the national axiom, "Il faut manger pour vivre." The elaborate code of gastronomic laws which evidently appear to thi s writer the most important question of life, are sufficiently formidable to induce Englishmen, with much business and little leisure, to abandon any att( )t at culinary competition with their neigt.- bours as perfectly hopeless. Dudley Costello's story of " Faint heart never won Fair lady," prc ceeds vigorously. In this number, Monsieur Per rotin and his friend the det2ctive succeed in tracing the unfortunate Rachel to the madhouse, where she had been incarcerated. The " Wits of Paris " furnish an entertaining payer, though their Lon mots do not exhibit much of the Attic essence. An account of a journey from Sydney to England via Panama will repay perusal. Monks hood's " Retrospective Reviewals" chronicle the sayings and doings of D'Urfe, whoso tedious pas torals were the admiration of their own epoch, though we apprehend that few novel readers of the present day would care to wade through the five volumes of "Astrea.” Colburn's New Monthly—A lengthened article on the Empire of Japan opens this number of the New Monthly. At the present epoch the subject is interesting to many readers, though the details of Japanese manners and customs are already losing their novelty. " Assize Sunday," by the author of " Ashley," is a continuation of the somewhat com plicated story which has been proceeding for the last two or three months. Leaving the mysterious robbery of the vestry unexplained, and its results undetermined, the author returns to the quarrels of the college boys—quarrels, however, which appear to threaten serious consequences. Sir Nathaniel takes Thomas Pelham, Duke of Newcastle, some time Premier of England, for the subject of the 15th number of his " Notes on Note-Worthies.'' In his opinion of this illustrious individual, h endorses the judgment passed upon him by Lcrd Macaulay-, and joins in the satirical censures of Horace Walpole and Smollett. " Tales of an 0:d. Sportsman" are not, as might be supposed, recitals of sporting adventures, but sketches and anecdotes mostly drawn from foreign lands, some of them of a most gloomy character. They chiefly refer to the Arquebusiers of France, being drawn from a recent French volume. Alexander Andrews conti nuesri his amusing narrative of the g evances of his friend " Pickles, , in which a great deal of trun is hidden under a jest. The practice of county courts figures conspicuously among the troubles of Mr. Pickles. Chateaubriand and his Commentator, M. Marcellus, form the subject of an entertaining paper, which is followed by one of Mr. Rowsell's sketches on social questions, on the important topic of " Getting Married." It is a' litief sketch, scarcely equal to his former essays. " The Spectre's Visit ' is a boon for the lovers of ghost stories, being some what original in plot, and vividly told. The ghost is a particularly horrible character, but that will be an additional attractionto the genuine connoisseurs of such tales, and they will have the unusua l satisfaction of a practical conclusion to the dismal adventure. " The Painter's Daugh ter" i s the title of a touching and graceful story, founded on fact, of one of those melancholy instances of a " destiny missed," which are not rarely met with. Veit Gerhards, a poor illuminator, of Antwerp, is consumed all his life by the vain desire to be a painter. Early in life he had been compelled to abandon his cherished project, and to devote him self to the trade of an armourer. In middle life, being free to follow his own devices, he abandoned his uncongenial occupation, and adopted that of an illuminator, as being at least more nearly con nected with his beloved art. Early in life he had seen Albrecht Durer, and his desire to behold him again was only equalled by his love of the divine art followed with such success by the great German master. His desire was only gratified at the close of his weary and disappointed life ; but his daughter Susanne, who inherited her father's taste, was more fortunate. being chronicled in Albrecht Durer's diary as the fortunate illuminatist of a picture on parchment, which had excited his admiration, and his expression of an uncomplimentary astonishment "that a woman could do so much A spirited Frost Song, "to the tune of a pair of skates," will make many followers of that stirring sport regret the mildness of the season. • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
