Those who intend to take the SPECTATOR, from the com mencement of the Third Volume, should givo their orders to the Newsmen before Saturday the Sd January. THE SPECTATOR avows the ambitious aim of being at once the most informing, tae most amusing, anti the fairest of al! Newspapers. Its large, though not unwieldy size, enables the Editor, by careful selection and laborious compression, t* record every useful Fact and interesting Occurrence, whether at bottle or in foreign countries; and at the same time to give an uncommonly large apace to Original Compositions by some of the ablest Pens. Politics are treated chiefly as matter of history, and with an impartial exhibition of all the leading facts and arguments on every side, from every source. TIIE SPEC TATOR is not a sectarian or a ;partisan, in lany sense, but a citizen of the world. Fair Criticisms on all the New Books of note are given ; and the beet Passages are selected, for the entertainment of those whose time may be too much occupied to read the original work.. The Drama is reviewed in a spirit of benevolent, thoug'h free criticism ; and Music is treated at 011Cia scientifically and popularly ae an elegant at t. Being a Newspaper, and not a mere Literary Periodical, THE SPECTATOR exhibits Life and Society as they ezia ; but being also a Journal for Families, it systemati cally excludes from its p tges every pragraph, sentiment, and expression, unfit fur universal perusal in respectable circles. Thereare two Editions,—one for the Country, published on Saturday, in time to be sent by the post of that even ing; another for Town, published very early on Sunday morning, and bringing down all public news to the latest hour. Those who prefer the latter Edition (which is easily distinguished) should give particular orders to that effect to their Newsmen. CONTEMPORARY TESTIMONIES IN FAVOUR OF THE SPECTATOR. From " Blackwood's Magazine" for April, 1829. " North—There, James, lies the Spectator, a new weekly Paper of some half-year's standing, or so, of the highest merit, and I wish I had some way ~f strenu ously recommending it to the reading public. The Editor, iodeed, is Whiggish and a Pro-Catholic—hut moderate, steady, and consistent in his politics. Let us have no turn-coats. His precis of passing Politica is always ad mirable ; his Mercantile Information—that I know on the authority of as good a judge as lives—is correct and com prehensive; Miscellaneous News are collected judiciously and amusingly from all quarters; the Literary department is equal, on the whole, to that of any other weekly periodical. I nowhere see better criticism on Poetry—and nowhere nearly so good criticism on Theatricals. Some critiques there have been, in that department, superior in exquisite truth of tact to any thing I remember—worthy of Elia himself, though not apparently from Elia; and in accounts of Foreign Literature, especially French, and above all, of French Politics, a subject on which I need to be enlightened, have seen no periodical at all equal to the Spectator. " Shepherd—The numbers you sent out by deserved a' that you said o' them. It's a waist enterteenite and in structive—a waist miscellawneous miscellany. • " North—And without Leing wishy-washy— " Shepherd—Or wersh— " North—The Spectator is impartial. It is a fair, open, honest, and manly periodical." From Mr. Buckingham's Address to the Readers of the " Sphynx," May 2. _ . _ _ . . . " It will be remembered, that ou the first establishment of the Sphynx,' its professed object was so to unite po litics and literature as to embrace almost all that was new or interesting in either, on a plan somewhat between that of the Atlas' and the Examiner,' but more nearly resembling the former of these journals. This plan is exactly accordant with that on which the Specta tor is conducted ; it being, indeed, the production of the original Editor and writers of the Atlas,' under whom that journal enjoyed celebrity at the very time Mr. Buck ingham assumed it in so far as a model. The Spec tator presents, perhaps, the most perfect analysis and epitome of News that have ever been attempted in a weekly paper. Of its P. , litical character, it may safely be said, that while it is always favourable to the support of liberal institutions and the happiness of the people, its advocacy of those great principles has been marked by a degree of prudence, judgment, and goad temper, which has obtained for it the praise of those who hold adverse opinions. And of its Literary talent, it may as truly be asserted, that no periodic►l of the present day surpasses it—in the acuteness, soundness, and fairness of its criticisms; or in the infinite variety with which its pages constantly abound." From the " Globe," May 28. " A Paper distinguished among its weekly contem poraries for its perception of the ludicrous in manners, and its piquant, yet not malignant satire upon the foibles of society." From the " Harmonicon " for June. " A Paper supported by first-rate talent." Au,ain, (in quoting a critique on the Italian Opera)—" The wit, truth, anal spirit, of the annexed observations, which appear in the Spectator of - this date, entitle them to a place in my Diary. They ought, and probably will, find a corner in every scrap-book in the dominions of our Sovereign Lord the Binh." —Diary of a Dilettante. From the `• Westminster Review," No. XXIII.

On Saturday a pastry-cook, named Ward, • was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged by his mother-in-law with having violently assaulted her that morning, at the unseasonable hour of four o'clock. The complainant stated that her daughter, the defendant's wife, according to custom, dined with her on Christmas-day,- after having arranged with the defendant that if he did not call upon her before eleven o'clock he would not call at all, and she should sleep at her mother's house. Eleven o'clock arrived and no huSband came, and the family retired to rest without being interrupted. At four o'clock, however, a loud knocking was heard at the door, and the 4lefendant, in a loud Christmas•like tone of voice, demanded to be admitted, and to take his wife home with him. The complainant expostulated with him upon the cruelty of compelling his wife to rise at such an hour from a warm bed, and expose herself to the rigours of the season; but he was so warm within, that he swore he would have her out of her nest to accompany him. It was useless to argue with a person full of good things of the day, and he was therefore peremptmily told that he should not di , turb his wife. Irritated at this non compliance with his authority, he immediately adopted forcible measures, and assaulted the com plainant in a most violent manner. The LORD MAYOR and Mr. Hobler expressed surprise and indignation at the brutality of the de fendant's conduct. The defendant considered that a man's wife should be at all times ready to attend to him, and contended that the lateness of the hour, or the seve rity of th• weather, had nothing to do with the question at all. He had directed his wife to be in readiness to wait upon him home, and no person had a right to interfere between married people. He denied that he struck any blow, or used any violence against the compla►nant, who had shown such a bad example by encouraging disobedience in a wife. The LORD MAYOR was not convinced by these arguments, and ordered the defendant to find bail, in default of which he was locked up. • BOW-STREET. On Saturday night William Rag, late a police constable, No. 123, of letter F. Di vision, was brought in custody before Mr. Mrssnerl„ charged by In spector Ousely with refusing to give up his clothing, he having been dismissed the service. The Inspector stated, that the defendant was dis missed from the police on the 15th inst., in conse quence of his having been twice reported absent from his beat. He was desired by order of the Commis sioners to give up hisappointments ; Lut he refused to do so, and continued to wear the uniform about the streets. Finding that fair means had no effect, and that he obstinately persisted in retaining the clothing, the Commissioners gave directions that he hould be given into custody, and brought before a • magis!rate. Mr. MINSHULL told the defendant that he was acting very foolishly in supposing that he had a right to retain the uniform after he had been dismissed the service. The clothing with which he had been pro vided was the property of Government, and if he persisted in keeping it, he (Mr. Minshull) would be under the disagreeable necessity of committing him. The defendant, who was dressed in the uniform, contended that he had a right to retain it, as he had being paying for it from the time of his appointment to his dismissal, at the rate of 3s. a week. He con sidered that it was a matter of debtor and creditor, with which his Worship had'nothing whatever to do. The Inspector said that the Commissioners were willing that the man should retain the clothes, prc vided he paid the balance due :for them, and put other buttons on, the coat. It was, however, highly improper that a man who no longer belonged to the police should be walking about the streets in full uniform, and perhaps acting as a police constable in a manner calculated to bring disgrace upon the service. Mr. MiNslluu. said he certainly should not allow the defendant to go at large with the uniform on his back. Ile might, if he pleased, send for other clothing',. but he must remain in custody in the mean time. The defendant said that if the Magistrate took his word he would engage to return the coat in a few days. He, however, would give no security for the performance of this promise, and seemed so possessed with the idea that he had a lawful claim to the clothing, and that the Magistrate had no power to interfere, that he preferred being sent to prison sooner than give up any portion of the dress. Mr. MINSHULL, after a vain endeavour to impress upon him the folly of styli conduct, was at last ob liged to commit him to the watch-house, for further examination. More than four-fifths of the charges brought for ward in the course of the day and evening were of a drunken and disorderly description; - The appear ance of the parties charged was most disgusting, for, besides the beastly effects produced by drink, many of the miserable wretches were covered with blood and dirt, haying been taken in that state from the neighbouring gin-shops, where they had either fallen out with one another, or having spent their money, and being refused any more drink, turned their blind fury against those who had denied them, and commenced smashing the windows with their hands, until the timely arrival of the police put a stop to the work of destruction. Most of the squalid wretches hail been drained to the last farthing, and some of them had continued in a state of intoxication from Christmas-eve, having reeled about from one gin shop to another, sleeping and drinking alternately. At the evening sitting Mr. MlNsnum. observed th-t he scarcely ever remembered to have witnessed so many cut heads and cut hands at one time. An unfortunate young man was brought from the watch-house of Covent.garden, charged with having attempted to cut his throat. It appeared that he had been drinking the whole of the preced ing night, and the greater part of the day, and hay spent all his money, that circumstance, together with the excitement produced by drink, had such an effect upon his mind that he took a razor from his pocket and drew it across his throat. Fortu nately, however, his arm was arrested, and the wound which he inflicted was but slight. Mr. ISllNsfluii, having admonished him upon the sin of self-destruction, directed his father to take him home, and Le careful not to leave the unfortu nate young man by himself, lest he should renew the attempt upon his life before the effect of the drink had subsided. On Monday, Win. Lee, driver of the hackney chariot 847 %las charged with cruelty to the horses; Sir R. BIRNIE gave him a suitable aimonition, but dismissed him on his paying the costs. The So ciety against cruelty have sent the prosecutor 10s. for his humans interference. MARLBOROU GH-STREET. HORSEwIIIPPING.—Mr. Mac Christie, a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, was held to bail on Saturday, under the following► ciacumstances. Mr. Earle, one of the surgeons to St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, addressed a letter to the Editor of the Lancet a month ago, in which he introduced Mr. MAcChristie's name, in connection with some private conversations that had taken place between these two gentlemen. Mr. Mac Christie considered himself called upon also to address the Editor of the Lancet, complaining of what Mr. Earle had done, .and denying what he regarded as falsehoods put into his mouth by Mr. Earle, Mr. Macleod, another medical gentleman, and editor of a rival periodical of the Lancet, in commenting on Mr. Mac Christie's let ter, made observations,which he (Mr.MacChristie) thought involved his veracity. He immediately there fore got his friend (Mr. Mills) to call on Mr. Macleod with a letter requesting an explanation, which was refused to be given. He was then applied to to name a friend." This application met with a similar fate. Mr. Mac Christie then felt he had no remedy but that of calling on Thursday evening last at Mr. Macleod's house, delivering his card, and desiring his servant to inform his master that he was .6 a cowar d a nd a li a r," and that he (Mu. Mac- Christie) " would horsewhip and kick him the first moment he met him." In pursuance of this decla ration, on Saturday morning Mr. MacChristie•ap peared in front of Mr. Macleod's house with a horsewhip in his hand, and after having been there for some time, he was taken into custody at the instance of Mr. Macleod, and escorted to Marl borough-street Police Office. he depositions of Mr. Macleod and his servant having been taken, and admitted by Mr. Mac Christie, who stated that Mr. Macleod had been guilty _of conduct which. nobody but one of the greatest cowards could have been capable of, . Mr. IJYER exprffssed..his regrrjhat gentlemen of edue'ation, as Meilicar gentlemen must be, should have suffered their feelings of irritation to have car ried them to such an extent, but that he was under the necessity of holding Mr. M'Chrislie to bail, which he did, himself in 2001, and two sureties in 100/. each. The utmost courtesy was shown to Mr. M`Christie by the Magistrate ; he sent for his friends, who soon arrived; the recognizances were entered into, cud all parties left the office. Four persons, named Wm. Adams, We:. Mailing, Mary Maling, and Agnes Smith, were charged with being concerned in a robbery committed at the hcuse of a lady named Musg.ave, No. 27, Green street, Park-lane. The prisoner Agnes Smith is, it appears, the housekeeper of Mrs. Musgrave, and on Christmas eve, while the family were from home, Smith in vited the two prisoners Adams and Mary Maling to a merry-making in the kitchen. About ten o'clock Adams went out, under the pretence of going for some gin; but almost immediately after his return it was discovered that, during his absence, the upper part of the house had been entered by thieves, who carried off nearly 1001. worth of property, ch►efy consisting of a quantity of family plate. On this discovery the police were called in, upon which Adams became so much alarmed tha he at once dis closed the whole affair, and admitted that he went out for the gin for the purpose of opening the door to a man whom he let in to commit the robbery, having previously made an arrangement with him for that purpose ; and the person whom he soatd mitted, he said, was William Haling, the other male prisoner. Upen this admission from Adams, Maling was sought after and apprehended. Adams himself was detained on the spot, as were also the two women—Maling as the wife of the alleged robber, and Smith as the person inviting such parties to the house. The perpetrator of the robbery, it appeared, forced open a cupboard up stairs with a chisel, which was left behind, and in this cupboard found a bunch of keys, one of which opened a press where the plate was deposited. Adams, on Saturday, repeated before the Magis trate the same account he had before given of the robbery, iS nd pointed out Mating as the robber. Maling positively denied all knowledge of the robbery, or any circumstances connected with it. The whole of Adams's statement, as far as related to him, was, he said, a tissue of lies, for he never saw Adams at all that evening, nor was at or in the neighbourhood of Mrs. Musgrave's house during any part of that day or night. Adams, however, persisted in his story, and said that the chisel which was left behind was Maling's own chisel, for he was pretty sure, although he would not swear it, that he had seen it with hill before. Maling, he said, carried away the property in a bag, and said that he would take it immediately to a Jew to whom lie knew z . e could sell it. Mr. DYER asked Adams how it was that Maling knew that th keys were in the cupboard that had been forced? Adams replied, that he himself told Maling where to find the keys. As for the women, he said they were perfectly innocent of any knowledge of the robbery until after it was committed. " And pray," said Mr. DYER to Adams, " how did you, a perfect stranger to the house, know that Mrs. Musgrave kept her keys in that cupboard ?" Adams replied that he merely guessed it, and told Maling to try there. Mr. DYER said, that it was much more likely that he got his information from Smith, the housekeeper, than that he guessed it, and remanded all the pri- - sorters for future examination. The extensive barracks at Aix-la-Chapelle were consumed by fire on the 17th of December. It broke out in the upper part of the building, where a quantity of articles, dry and easily inflamed (wool, bedding, &c.), appear to have been set on fire by the carelessnee of same of the inmates when smoking their pipes. RICHARD LANDER, the faithful attendant of the late lamented Captain CLATPERTON, during his last African expedition, has been ever• since his return sedu lously engaged in preparing for the press, an account of his ( ) war wanderings and personal adventures in that in hospitable clime, which are reported to be of a very novel description. With what ietenaity the spirit of enterprise and travel animates the heart of this young man, may be conceived from the fact tut, though he was the only sur vivor of the expedition under Grptain CLAPTEKTOH, he has just under - Lac:l a commission from the Government to proceed again to the same mysterious and perilous region, on a mission to explore the course of the Nigrr.

WLTHERELL have been given in the public Papers, an] of their subsequently giving bail to keep the peace ; but it has not been stated that any actual challenge was given by either of the parties. We understand, from good authority, that the SOLICITOR.- GENERAL did send a challenge to Sir C. WETHERELL, which was accepted, and two gentlemen were requested to settle the necessary preliminaries ; but, as the magistrates interposed, and prevented the chance of a new SOLICITOR.. GENERAL being appointed, or the less of one of the leaders of the Tories in the House of Commons, the whole affair was referred to two gentlemen at the bar, who decided that an apology was due Irons Sir CHARLES to the SOLICITOR-. GENEIIAL. The decision of those gentlemen was imrxe di•htely acted upon by the former, and the affair terminated amicably.— Court Journal. It is little more than twenty years since thg existence of veins in the bones was ascertained. They wer.e. then for the first time discovered, furrowing the diploe, in the fe.rni of tu!ivs with bony si,les, and it was found, not without astonishment, that the blued was cir, celated through those veins without any -concurrent action of their sides, but solely by the propulsion of the arterial blood into the veins, or by a kind of absarbing force inherent in the latter order of vessels. At that period, the veins in the flat bones of the skull, the shoulder, and the pelvis, and those of the princi;ud long bones of the extremities, were alone discovered. M. MIE- S!: lirr, a French an3toinist, has recently devotel his alention to tlue subjecr, an,l has trle?A the veins is the other parts of the osseous syalern all the veins of which are wile, in cnsequence of Lis researches, as well known as the arteries, an , l perhaps better. M. Bausciirr has also investigated the character of the.veins which con nect the veins of the bones will: the venous sislem GAzsgow Paper. (From the o.tford Univerdity and City Herald.) - So much has been said in The St. n News- I paper and elsewhere, about the proposed change in the Examinations and Classification at Oke •ford, that it is expedient some interest should be excited, and some inquiries be made, how far this change is to be carried, and upon what notice : our Universities are public property, and should create a public interest of the deepeet nature. If the ruling powers in Oxford be doing any thing of which they dare not give notice, they convict themselves of something worse than error ; and if they be acting coliecientioesle, they will give more than statutable notice of any im portant change. Each non-resident Member of Convocation will judge for himself, whether any change that is proposed may be such as to call for his interference. It appears probable, that the resident Members of Convocation will in ge neral be the fittest judges of what is advise:dile in detail. If the new statute now in ag;tatioa about the examination for the Bachelor's degree go further, and only . further, than previous sta tutes have gone, keeping the same track, and require more general knowledge than has hereto fore been required, adding, for instance, to a competent knowledge of the classics, some ac quaintance with modern languages and history', and natural philosophy, let it prosper : f„r it is certain that now a thorough knowledge of Greek and Latin, to the exclusion of all other know ledge, is not enough to be termed a liberal education, when men make their appearancee on the great theatre of life. While literature was in such a state, that - the only readable books were in Greek and Latin, those languages were the only means of liberal education. Even on this point, however, some interference may be ad visable to check the swing from one extreme to the other ; but there is one point, if rumour speaks true, which imperiously demands the in terference of every member who may consider emulation as a breach of His rules, who com mands us in honour to prefer one another, and it is to this point the attention of every Member of Convocation is now solicited. St. Paul has particularized emulations as "the manifest works of the flesh," and classed them in fitting company with " hatred, variance, wrath, strife, envyings, murders, and drunkenness."—Gal. Y. 20. While he warns us, that " they who are Christ's have crucified the flesh," and with it the passions and desires which work through it, against our spi rits ; he has told us, with peculiar emphasis, that we are not to be " desirous of vain glory ;" that we are not to envy one another; and that eve are not to call forth one another into contests. It is said to be proposed, that in Orford, the men who take honours shall be classed according to their merit, as compared one with another, and not in classes, of which each member receives equal honour, because he has attained a given knowledge of given books. Now an order of merit, as it is miscalled, when considered in con trast with an alphabetical order of those v. ho have used due diligence in their academical studies, and improved the number of talents they have received, is an exact contradiction of St. Paul, The glory of the .first man of his year , (however designated) for instance, is a vain glory , is more likely to create envy than not, in those who may almost be called his antagonists, and is in its es sence exactly such a provocation of one another to contest and exertion as St. Paul forbids. He tells us, that nothing is to be done through " strife and vain glory ;" that " in lowliness of mind each should esteem other better than them selves;" that." we are not to look every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." That we are to be so minded be cause our Saviour was ; and that we are to do all things without murmurings and disputings.— Phil. 2. In itself, a fixed standard has every advantage, in every way, over a variable one ; and the knowledge it implies is not . at all incon sistent with that " meekness of wisdom," which St. James commends. "If ye have hitter en. vyings cr,,,vov) and strife of your hearts, do not boast of that and lie against the truth ;" as if knowledge so obtained were deserving the name of wisdom. No—such knowledge as that, is not the knowledge which is wisdom, which has descended from above, to make man wise unto salvation, and to make the natural man a spiritual being—such knowledge, so obtained in connec tion with envying and strife, is earthly,—has in it nothing of heaven, is sensual or natural—has in it the contradiction of God's Spirit, is de vilish. For where envy and strife is, there is confusion, and every evil wo r k,j aines , 3. ~ They that are after the flesh do mind - the things of the flesh—but we are to be spiritually minded ;" and if so, we shall have life and peace, (Rom. 8) not contention, not emulation—but peace. The University that stamps any young man as the first of his fellow students, makes him a re turn for his exertions which need not now he characterized in the full truth, but which is at least unparental and unbecoming. The result is such as to feed at once his pride and vanity-- to depress his associates, and make them his sa tellites, and not his friends—to destroy in the whole University the spirit of free discussion, and substitute the slavery of a general deference.. It encourages the dangerous system of lookieag to effects only, and estimating men by a false standard. The University should teach every one of its members not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but to think soberly —or, as it may fairly be paraphrased, not to think highly of themselves, which is always wrong—but, to think of themselves, that th e i r opinion of themselves may tend to keep up in , 1 .-. e them the spirit of a sound mind—to tr,4 them meek and l e xly, for meek and lowly they will be ill proportion to the degree in which they believe in the Gospel. If emulation effected a thousand times more than ever it has effected, such an effect could not alter the sinfulness of its character, and the meanness of its nature. : p i r tt o h u iti g iog h iil. p d i pride possible)e n e b (l v y e ti selfishness, agency, i g )o e d cy,, results, geesi'(i 1 It every(were workssaitltcehmt not seem likely to draw down from heaven a blessing npisn the parties, prefessedly Christians; who are concerned in such a dereliction from C ee Gospel.
