V By the Author of " Vivian Grey," " Henrietta Temple," Sc. " A work which must extend and strengthen the author's already wide and well-established fame."—Fraser's Magazine. This story is shaped upon the character of Lord Byron, and some of the events of his life. Ho figures hero, as in his own poems, as the hero of the piece; and is introduced as Lord Cadurcis, at the age of eleven years. His fond, passionate, and inconsistent mother is also prominent, whilst Miss Cawthorn, somewhat metamorphosed, appears as Venetia Herbert.

The personal scenes are 1/nely wrought, and tke literary topics discussed show much of ori ginality and power."—Literary Gazette. Hoary Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough -street. regrets to observe in the conduct of Captain Vignoles, on this and a former occasion, a want of the temper and self-command so essential to the beneficial discharge of the office of a Magistrate. He has exhibited a proneness to resort to force, which generally indicates an absence of that moral influence which seldom fails to attend the temperate and judicious exercise of authority. The occasions are rare on which a Magistrate is required to act as a constable ; kind, in the present instance, Captain Vignoles should have desired the constabulary to arrest the individual whom he conceived to be committing a breach of the peace, without attempting to do so with his own hands. If the consta bulary had refused, they would have incurred a heavy res ponsibility, and his conduct would have been more becom ing the office which he holds. " In attempting to wrest Captain Gleeson's sword from him, Captain Vignoles behaved in a manner altogether un justifiable. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. IN KENT, A little beyond the Rural Village of WESTERHAM. A FREEHOLD PLEASURE FARM, called RED HILL, of 122 ACRES, with ORNAMENTAL GROUNDS and PLANTATIONS. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, on THuasnAv, the ?Bth of October, at Twelve o'clock, by direction of the Trustee, and under a posi tive power of Sale, AFREEHOLD PLEASURE FARM, de lightfully situate about three miles beyond WESTERHAM, IN KENT, 11 miles put Bromley, and 23 from London. It is a cireamstanee of rare occurrence when such a Property is attainable. THIS PARK, or rather PET FARM, d)es not pretend to accommodate a very large family, and there is no leek of opportunity to improve and decorate it within—but there is much comfort, and the situation is so romantic, in deed, it is altogether so irresistible, that Mr. Robins intreats all those who may need such a retreat to seek occular proof and without delay. It is seated on a verdant Lawn, adorned by myriads of American and other shrubs, and disposed in such extraordinary taste, that Repton would indeed be proud to acknowledge it ai his own offspring. The Kitchen Garden is shut out by means of no in considerable tact, and ornamented by the Hermitage ; this with the luxuriant Orchards form altogether a delightful ensemble. The offices are capital, and very abundant, and those adapted to Agri cultural pursuits aro so good as to leave nothing to be desired. The Villa is aided in its outward appearance by a Veranda, which encircles it. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO ACRES IS THE EXTENT OF THE DOMAIN, DESTROYING A WILL. —Sarah Rayner, an elderly wo man, of respectable appearance, was indicted for feloni ously stealing the will of Thomas Rayner. In a second count she was charged with fraudulently destroying the. same; and, in a third count, with having fraudulently con cealed it. Mr. Jones appeared as counsel for the prosecution ; and Mr. C. Phillips and Mr. Clarkson for the defence. Mr. PHILIPS took au objection, in liuzinc, to the indict ment, which the Chairman overruled. Mr. JONES then stated the case on the part of the pro• secution, the facts of which were, he said, of a novel and somewhat extraordinary nature. The offence with which the prisoner stood charged was formerly of a capital nature ; but by an Act of Parliament recently passed the offence of stealing or destroying a will was declared to be a misde meanour only, and punishable accordingly. The defen dant was the widow of Thomas Rayner, a builder, who, during his lifetime, carried on business in Spitalfields. About seven years ago she and her husband quarrelled, and a separation was the consequence. The latter some time afterwards became acquainted with a Mrs. Currie, and they lived together as ratan and wife from that time until his death. In the month of March last be was taken ill, and being desirous of making his will, he sent for a person named Poole, who resided in the neighbourhood, who was in the habit of collecting his rents for him, and other wise acting as his agent, to whom he gave the necessary in structions.for his will, by which he bequeathed the whole of his property to the woman Mrs. Currie for her life, and at her death directed that it should go to a little girl, an illegi timate child he had had by her. Poole, who supposed Mrs. Currie was the wife of the testator, drew up the will ac cordingly, and the property was by it left to the testator's " dear Wife Mary upon trust," &c. This will was exe cuted by the testator on the 22d of March, and on the 25th of that month lie died. The prisoner having been informed of the death of her husband, called at the house where his body lay, and expressed a wish to see it, to which of course no objection was made on the part of Mrs. Currie. The prisoner afterwards inquired in what manner the deceased had disposed of his property ; upon which Poole, who was present, produced the will, and called her attention to that part of it bequeathing his property to his dear wife Mary, he meaning thereby Mrs. Currie, and then said that as Mrs. Currie was not his wife the will was good for ❑othing, and might as well be destroyed. The prisoner, who et this time had the will in her hand, acted immediately upon the sug gestion of Poole, and put it into the fire in the presence of Mrs. Currie and six other persons. After this the prisoner went to Doctors' Commons, and there having made an affi davit that her husband died without a will, obtained letters of administration of his estate acid effects.

" His Excellency deeply regrets the necessity imposed on him of thus remarking on the conduct of a public of ficer who has rendered good service on several important occasions, and has justly received the commendations of the Government ; but his Excellency trusts that this occur rence will lead Captain Vignoles to reflect more calmly on the nature of his office, and to take a more correct view of the manner in which its duties should be performed. " His Excellency directs that Captain Vignoles and Cap tain Gleeson shall be strongly admonished as to their future conduct—that they shall not be again employed in the same county—and that both shall be removed from the .county of Carlow."

The soil is adapted to add profit to the pleasure of superintending the farm. A second crop of clover has been seen In great luxuri ance. Cows are fatted on the pasture, and the hops new growing leave no doubt of the character of the soil. In conclusion, it may be affirmed it stands alone for its manifold advantages.

" His Excellency seems to entertain a very correct idea of Captain Vignoles' conduct on this and a former occasion. He has observed a want of the temper and self-command so essential to the beneficial discharge of the office of a Ma gistrate. His Excellency has also observed a proneness to resort to force, which generally indicates an absence of that moral influence which seldom fails to attend the temperate and judicious exercise of authority ; and his Excellency thinks that in attempting to wrest Captain Gleeson's sword from him, Captain Vignoles behaved in a manner altogether injusqfiable. Whether Captain Vignoles is likely to improve in temper and self-command, or whether he is likely to acqui re th a t mora l i n fl uence —the ab s ence of which Captain Vignoles has indicated by his proneness to resort to force—in his new station, remains to be proved ; but of this we are quite certain, more than enough has been established against Captain Vignoles to justify the Govern ment in taking effectual steps to prevent the possibility of any manifestation of a want of temper and self-command on the part of that gentleman in future—and we do think the Government would have best consulted its own dignity, and best have vindicated the omnipotence of justice, by permit ting him to retire from the trouble and turmoil of an office with the duties of which he seems to be either shamefully ly disckarging."

Mr. Robins would prefer to inlist the attention of the reader rather to the comfort that presides within, than the precise order of its architectural force without. A noble row of elms FORMS A SPLENDID AVENUE EN'FACE. And a Lawn of some extent and beauty encircles the abode. There is a capital walled garden, of considerable extent, and prolific be yond measure—Covent-garden market is not needed u an auxi liary. There aro thriving plantations, which give protection from the wintry cold, and the park grounds in front produce an ensemble of no ordinary nature. THE DEMESNE AND FARMS ALTOGETHER EXCEED THIRTEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY ACRES ; a large proportion includes some of the beat land in the County. There is also a mixture of clay upon limestone. The splendid crops of Wheat and Barley of this year's growth (and after a most unpropitious spring, let it be remembered), prove beyond the power of doubt tke congeniality of the soil. The Estate is divided into SIX CONVENIENT FARMS, and in the list of tenants may be accounted some of the most re spectable yeomen and but farmers of Warwickshire. The present rental is near SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. This includes the tithe. But it should be remarked, that the re spected late owner had a satisfaction in rating Isis tenants very low. The time is at hand when a new proprietor may augment his in come considerably. THE WARWICK AND NAPTON CANAL and the turnpike-road from Dunchurch to Southam pass through the estate, and the RAILWAY TO LIVERPOOL and London is at a moderate distance. The Church forms a pleasing feature in aid of the mantion-house, and THE RIVER LEAM is a boundary to the property, and is full of pike. There is plenty of good hunting, famous shooting, anti the poor-rate is almost no minal. Such is a brief outline of a few only of the manifold qua lifications ; the rest is left for occular demonstration. Particulars may be had, twenty-eight days previous to the sale, at the Dun Cow and Green Man, Dunehurch ; the Wheat,heaf, Da yentry ; the Craven Arms, Coventry ; Hen and Chickens, Bir mingham ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London.

TWO exceedingly beautiful and highly improvable FREEHOLD PROPERTIES, including altogether nearly ONE THOU SAND TWO HUNDRED ACRES of PASTURE, ARA . . BLE, WOOD, and MOUNTAIN LAND, producing at Rents and annual valise upwards of One Thousand Pounds. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has been favoured with the instructions of the Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at Morrison's Hotel, Dawson-street, Dublin, on THURSDAY, the 12th of October, at Twelve for One o'clock, TWO HIGHLY DISTINGUISHED and VERY VALUABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTIES, extensively known as COOLISHALL ESTATE and DEMESNE of GLENMORE; It is styled EAST BALLYGALLY HOUSE; and to which the attention of those who would invest in perfect security is earnestly requested. These very attractive estates have for a lengthened period enjoyed the proud distinction of being re cognised as PET PLACES OF THE LOCALITY which they adorn; they are happily situate upon THE BANK OF THE BLACKWATER, which abounds with salmon-trout, and the pure and limpid water of which NOBLE RIVER FLOWS BETWEEN THE ESTATES. They are also only three miles from the canal at Ulmer., four from the quays of Tullowbridge and Tyrsullen, oa the river Bride, and twelve from the SEA-PORT TOWN OF TOUGHALL, ALL IN THE COUNTY OF WATERFORD. The situation needs no panegyric to those who are fortunate enough to have enjoyed ocular demonstration of its varied beauties; to those, however, who lack that advantage, a few brief observa tions will not be out of place. THE SCENERY is MOST ROMANTIC and LUXURIANT; THE RICHLY WOODED GLEN, And "PICTURESQUE FALL OF GLENMORE" Which is a portion of the Property, and considered one of its proudest features, forms the eastern boundary of Coolishall, and the river Araglin bounds it on the north ; the house and demesne have the Blackwater on the north, with private boats and walks to eonnect them with the FAMED GLEN AND WATERFALL OF GLENMORE; and on the west are thick plantations. The walks and shrubberies are very extensive, adorned by thousands of the choicest fruit trees and flowering shrubs, and the Residence commands extensive views of the Grounds of GLENCAIRN ABBEY, FORT WILLIAM, THE CATHEDRAL, and CASTLE OF LISMORIS, with many other seats of renown. The surpassing beauty of the ornamental timber renders the scene perfect ; indeed there are many who have likened this ELY favoured property to lUAL If prat be in the mind's eye of the purchaser, he will Ind a suitable spot whereon to erect a mill or factory, with an UNLIMITED COMMAND OF WATER ; and there are also numerous romantic and beautiful spots, admirably suited to the erection of villas; in fact, the temptation will be irre sistible for a building operation on a large and profitable scale. The Domain extends altogether to nearly ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED ACRES OF ARABLE, PASTURE, WOOD, AND MOUNTAIN LAND. The residence is replete with comfort, and ample for all the legi timate desires of a family of high respectability. Nearly the ontire property is irrigated, there is an unlimited command of lime-stone, limestone-sand, marle, and turbary ; all the neighbouring mountains abound in grouse, and the " WINTER SHOOTING MAY BE ASSIMILATED TO THAT OF KILLARNEY," And the HUNTING and FISHING unsurpassed any where. It will not be amiss to state, with a view to remind the Irish, and to ILLUMINE THE ENGLISH CAPITALIST, to point out a few advantages, that hare had but little weight in their estima tion heretofore ; it has been too much the fashion to talk of Irish property asof SUPPOSITITIOUS VALUE—the rental as exceed ingly difficult in its collection, and the tenantry poor and dissatisfied. In some distant parts of Ireland, where land is OVER LET, or rented by THOSE REAL OPPRESSORS OF THE POOR, THE MIDDLEMEN, it may be that the foregoing remarks will occasionally apply ; but on this property, situate in the very best and most civilised part of Ireland, a refreshing contrast is presented. To this may be added a feature of considerable import ; ►t is in the MOST TRANQUIL AND CIVILIZED DISTRICTS IN IRELAND, where their comfort is not destroyed by the TUR MOIL OF POLITICAL STRIFE. - _ Very descriptive particulars will be ready for circulation 25 days prior to the sale, and can then be obtained of W.

HAPPINESS, " the gay to-morrow of the mind," is insured by marriage. Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty not only to regulate the passions, bust to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—muscular streng th —felicity. The easy cares o f married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often con. stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, a, well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our abi lity to cure speedily, and with effect. Confident in our own honourable inte grity as members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering com munity of either sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consulta tion ; and letters from the country are immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the case, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.

The following is the minute made by his Excellency on the report of Major Holmes and Mr. Green, the gentle men appointed by Government to conduct the investigation : " His Excellency having had under his consideration the report of Mr, Green and Major Holmes, appointed to con duct the investigation into the charges preferred by Capt. Vignoles against Captain Gleeson, and the counter-charges, advanced by Captain Gleeson against Captain Vignoles ; and having also examined the evidence for and against those charges, has come to the following decision : " 1. With respect to Captain Gleeson—That Captain Gleeson acted most improperly in not voluntarily com ing forward to aid a Magistrate, when endeavour ing to take into custody an individual committing a breach of the peace ; and that the impropriety of his conduct is increased by his having, when distinctly called upon by the Magistrate, refused his own assistance, and that of the men under his command, to en force the authority and protect the person of the Magis trate. If Capt. Vignoles was endeavouring to effect such arrest, either with unnecessary violence or contrary to law, he was responsible for the illegal or improper exercise of his powers ; and, although his Excellency does not wish it to be nnderstood that an officer of the constabulary is bound, under all circumstances, to yield implicit obedience to a Magistrate, yet the former ought to be very sure o f the grounds on which he refuses to support the authority of the latter. On the present occasion there may have been a want of temper, and even uncalled-for violence, on the part of those from whom greater forbearance is expected ; but his Exe.:llency cannot discover any suMcient reason to justir3 Capt. Gleeson's refusal, or excuse th e l anguage a nd manner in which that refusal was conveyed. On the contrary, bis Ex cellency considers that, by so doing, he showed that he had formed a very erroneous notion of the obligations which the office imposes on him, and gave a bad example to the men under his command.

THE APOLLO STRAMER.—This ill-fated vessel still continues embedded in the bottom of tthe river, off Grays, and it is supposed that she must for several days remain so, as it is both a slow and a difficult no dertaking to extricate a steamer from such a situation. At. an early hour on Saturday two lighters and a body of mess, provided with the necessary apparatus, sailed down the River, but as yet they have effected nothing. In the course of the afternoon another steamer was moored close tt ) her, to be in readiness for hauling her up. The Apollo is, in a depth of about ten fathom. The first thing to be don eis to send down people in diving-hells to flail how the mu' I lies about her bottom, and ascertain the points upon which the chain for raising her may be placed. Then the chains. are wound round the cranks on each side, and again carts ?.d over the traverse beam between the paddle-boxes. :Every thing Possible, in the way of submarine excavation and clearing having been performed, the steamer!' 01? lighters to 01 1 14:11 the chains are attached pull first all ;ornately, in irder to weaken the tenacity of the slime, and then simul %sneously, t o se t h er once more a fl oa t. Whe t % the Bed . lover steamer was sunk off the Nora light it t. iok eight lay s ' ass id uous exert i on to ra i se h er. She wa s only in 'even fathom water, and, in the opinion of her en ew, there was not so much difficulty in getting her up as t. here must he in the p resen t case, judging from the dept'n,. situation, lnd nature of the bottom in which the Apollo istillpd. The CHAIRMAN stopped the case, and said the indict ment could not be sustained. It was quite impossible to suppose a felonious intent, when the prisoner acted under the advice of the person by whom the will was drawn, and in the presence of several persons: who might have pre vented her from destroying the wUI if they bad made any endeavour to do so. He therefore directed the Jury to re turn a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner, who had been out on bail, and surrendered that morning to take her trial, then left the Court, accom panied by her friends. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. ilfr•. Philpotts, of Parliament -street, was summoned a few days since for refusing to pay a shilling for the hire of a cab, for what the cabman called upwards of a mile ; and as the defendant insisted that it was not much more than half a mile, it was agreed that the ground should be measured ; and the parties on Saturday appeared before the LORD MAYOR for adjudication. The cabman came provided with the Act of Parliament, and a most wonderful stock of words, to prove his victory, and he afforded a great deal of amusement to the by standers. He called the officer who measured the ground, and that person stated that the ground over which the cab went was by measure twenty yards above the mile ; but the ground over which it might have game was very little more than half a mile. The LORD MAYOR (to the cabman)—Why, my friend, you were in the wrong box when you drove the zig-zag way. Had you driven straight you could:have had no pretence for charging more than Bd., and I wonder you supposed that I am to be imposed upon. The cabman said that he drove according to the direc tion of the defendant and the Act of Parliament. He did not happen to be quite clear about the direct road, but when he wanted to go down a street which he knew would bring the distance within the mile, there was a stoppage. He then asked the defendant whether he would prefer going by another way, where no stoppage was at all likely to take place, and consent was immediately given. Now it was evi dent this was for the benefit of the defendant ; and the Act of Parliament decided that if it was impossible to go one way the driver of the " wehicle" might go another. The Cabman—l go by the Act of Parliament, and I am entitled to my fare and my expenses. I have been put to a great deal of trouble about this, and I knew I was right. The LORD MAYOR—You knew exactly the way to go to get the turn in your favour, it is evident ; but I am afraid you and I don't read the Act the same way. Mr. Philpots declared that he told the cabman to go the nearest way, and expostulated with him on going the round-about road lie had chosen. The cabman about a dozen times contradicted his oppo nent, and finally said that no Magistrate could go against the Act of Parliament. The LORD MAYOR, however, took quite a different view of the law from the cabman, who was ordered to pay all the costs, including the ss. for measurement. The Cabman—My Lord, the Act is against you ; I arn't got no money besides ; and the gentleman swore he'd spend 10/. to beat me. Will you stand that ? Mr. Philpotts—l did ; and you said you'd pawn your shirt and every stitch you had to beat me. Cabman—And so I would beat you, if people understood the Act of Parliament.—(Great laughter.) I won't pay a " mag" (halfpenny), because it's against the law. The Lonn MAYOR said that if the cabman had acted in a straightforward manner, be would have avoided all this ; but it was, after all, a lesson for him worth paying for. The cabman was then ordered to be detained until he had paid the expenses, and was informed that unless he discharged them forthwith, a penalty should be inflicted for overcharge. QUEEN- S QUARE. The butler of Mr. Hammersley, tho banker in Pall-mall, appeared to answer a summons taken out by the driver of a hackney coach, against the two daughters of Mr. Ham mersley. The ladies were driven from Old Palace-yard to Bolton-row, Mayfair, and the coachman demanded es., but was not paid more than ls. 6d. He consequently took out a summons. The butler did not dispute the demand, and he was ordered to pay the sixpence, the costs of the sum mons, and to remunerate the coachman for his loss of time, amounting altogether to nearly I Is. Sir Robert Peel was unable to attend a meeting of the Tamworth Bible Society a few days since, of which he has been appointed President, in the room of the late Bishop Ryder. Before commencing the proceedings a letter was received from Sir Robert, expressing his " great regret and disappointment" that be could not fulfil the en gagement, in consequence of having received from his medical advisers " positive directions not to run any risk of inflammation, which might ensue." At the same time he enclosed, " as a proof of his attachment to the Bible So ciety in general," a donation of 501. WITCH ORDEAL IN INDlA.—Persons suspected of being witches are often subjected to very cruel treat ment, especially if the ordeal to which their neighbours have recourse should convict them of the crime. In India, as well as in Europe, it is supposed that a witch will float upon the water ; but there are other tests by which their acquaintance with the black art may be proved. Oil poured in a leaf with a little rice, forms one of those trials ; should the oil run through when the names of ‘ the accused are called over, their guilt is established. 'I here arc numerous ordeals by which a thief may be detected besides the one most commonly practised, of causing the suspected parties to chew rice, an operation which, however easy to those who ha% e nothing to fear, becomes difficult to the conscious delinquent, whose mouth, parched and dry, re f uses i ts function, and upon examination the rice is found whole. Another plan is to rub the upper stone o f a m ill w i t h as saketida, the stone being so placed as to appear to be sus pended in the air.obliged to persons impli ca t e d are to go one by one into the apartm en t, an d t o touc h this s tone, all being assured that it will f a ll an d en t ra p th e the head of the guilty person, consequently the thief takes care not to touch it, and the operator 'lvin.- smelt the heads of the whole number, easily selects that which has committed the theft.---Isiatic Journal. STIMONIAL TO SIR JAMES : GIBSON-CRAIG, BART. n:44' l The inhabitants of Edinburgh and Mid-Lothian are on / y' discharging a debt in presenting a testimonial of their et teem and gratitude to Sir James Gibson-Craig. Toe ino:. precious part of a nation's possessions is a patriots, cou rageous, enlightened citizen, r, - ho with a noble disiateres'. edness gives his time, his zeal, his money, and his energies, to promote the well-being and happiness of the people. The men willing and able to do this, are rare indeed. The ser vices they render are such as mere wealth cannot buy nor power command ; and the nation which accepts them, and repays them with no expression of gratitude, is unworthy of its good fortune, and will not long enjoy what it is unable to appreciate. The individual who devotes even a few years to unbought exertions in behalf of the people, is justly esteemed a public benefactor ; but what gratitude, what honour is due to him who has continued such exertions from the first dawn of manhood to a venerable old age— who stood almost alone, and undauntedly upheld the people's cause, in dark periods of persecution and terrorism, when the iron hand of power was stretched out to crush the feeble, and silence the timid ? Stich is Sir James Gibson-Craig. He is the Reformer of half a century, the firm and consistent advocate of popular rights through good and bad report, at all times, and under all circumstances. When the Reform Bill was proposed, Sir James held freehold votes in counties worth a very large amount of money, an amount which many of his junior brethren would consider a respectable fortune. He knew that the Bill, if carried, would instantly render these valueless. But this great personal sacrifice never influenced him for a moment. No Reformer hailed the •mLasure with more genuine joy than Sir James, and none in this country did so much to insure its success. Who can forget the storm of in dignation which the measure evoked from the numerous and powerful class who profited by the old abuses, the va cillation of the Court, the difficulties which these created, and the grand popular movements by which the enemies of the Bill were awed into silence and acquiescence ? In that great struggle, Edinburgh played a conspicuous part, and it may be truly said that Sir James was the soul of every important movement in the city. In every difficulty the eyes of the citizens were fixed on him. In Committees, at public meetings, at the grand displays in the King's Park, there he was at his post, labouring with all the ardour of a young man. His energy and decision, tempered as they were by prudence, gave courage to the timorous, held the rash in cheek, and encouraged the great mass of the mid dle classes, and many of the wealthy, to engage zealously in the struggle, and to conduct it to a happy termination. When we look back to the proceedings of that memorable era, we are proud of our countrymen ; and among those who contributed to produce the noble exhibition of moral power which characterised it, none bore so distinguished a part as Sir James. The success of the Bill was the joint work of many ; but if there was any single man in Scot land whose efforts may be said to have been indispensable, it was Sir James Gibson-Craig. And this is but one act in a long life devoted to the public good. In the dark times of 1797, and during the grinding rule of Castlereagh, when honest but misguided men were seduced into acts of sedition by the spies and hired agents of a profligate Government, Sir James was not to be deterred by all the misrepresentations of the tools of Ministers, from stretching out his hand to mitigate the fate of these unhappy individuals. To all such the aid of his purse, his good offices, and his personal exertions, was readily given. Indeed we believe that scr.rcely any man has suffered for Liberal principles in Sco tlanrf dur ing the last forty years, whether in his person or his cir cumstances, without being less or more indebted to Sir James for assistance. All who were wronged or %bought themselves wronged, by power ; all who professed RJorm principles, and found themselves involved in misfortune, from whatever cause, claimed his aid, and rarely were re fused. It is no secret, that independently of persooal services, the draughts upon him in this way have bee ti immense. Even had he been born to a princely fortune, his numerous benefactions would have entitled him to public gratitude ; but how much greater is his merit, whets we remember that he was for the greater part of his career a man of business, depending on his profes s io nn l exertions, and to whom time and laour were equivalent to money. It is well known that Mr. William Gibson Craig would have gladly been excused from standing as a candidate for the county, and that Sir James's. consent to his son's coming forward in this capacity was given with extreme re luctance. The expense attending the two contests, every shillinr , of which comes from the pockets of the family, must have been very heavy, while the constant attention required to the registers, and the vigilant eye which must be kept on the motions of the adversary, when parties are so nearly balanced, are a perpetual source of anxiety and trouble, and a heavy tax on the time of a professional man. The sole object of Sir James and Mr. William was to keep the county out of the hands of the Tories. In this they have succeeded, but with a heavy personal sacrifice. When the people rightly understand their public duties, they will defray all the charges of elections themselves, and not suffer their Members to expend a shilling. The pre sent practice is a disgrace to a free people. But till we are properly enlightened on the point, we must be indebted to the public spirit of individuals for the advantage of being adequately represented ; and it was happy for us that we found in Sir James and his family the means of realising our object. The obligation is greater than many are aware of ; for the contest, as we have said, was a hard one ; and we firmly believe, that in any other hands than these of the energetic veteran Reformer, it would not have succeeded. It is not easy to estimate the services of such a man. Scotland has many sons who have upheld her honour, and battled for her rights, in recent times ; but it is impossible to name one who has served her so long, and been so vigor ous and persevering. We believe the sacrifices of time, money, personal labour, and risk encountered, made by Sir James in the cause of the people, are equal to those made by at least half the Aristocracy of Scotland. Perhaps it is not too much to say, that a dozen of men equally able and zealous, scattered over the surface of Scotland, would have greatly changed the character of our representation. We are happy to hear that the subscription for the testi monial goes on favourably. If it does not produce a very handsome sum, it will be a proof that our countrymen neither I know their benefactors, nor value their services.—Scotsman. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—A private letter in the Constitutionnel gives some particulars of the accident which befel the Marquis of Waterford at Bergen, on the day on which he arrived with his ship prepai ed for hunting bears ; that with a company which had come from Hasdanger, the Marquis begin to play his usual pranks in the streets. He returned the warnings of the watchman by pelting him with stones, till the latter was compelled to defend himself, when he wounded the Marquis mortally on the head with his staff. His companions, among whom were six sons of the first families in England, one of whom is said to be the son of Lord Ponsonby, Ambassador at Constantinople, gave out that he was a sailor, and carried him on board his ship, where a Norwegian physician at tended him, as he had not one with him. Travellers, who arrived at Christiania on the :22d, say that the Marquis is already dead. He is said to have had a fortune of 70,000/. a year.—Hambwg Paper, Sept. 5. We claim the attention of our readers to the brief historical statement respecting the annuity tax. The facts which are here submitted are incontrovertible—they are palpable, and easily understood. Nineteen hundred and fifty-six respectable citizens of Edinburgh, of whom more than four hundred are females, are now already the vic tims of an unequal law—a law which violates Christian principle, oppresses the conscience, alienates Christians from each other, and brings the most odious reproaches on the hallowed name of the Redeemer. Three hundred and thirty-six widows, whose humble dwellings are to be invaded by the most obnoxious of all law processes, and the least respected of all law agents, and whose hard-earned pro perty is to be despoiled and exposed to that mode of sale most offensive to the honourable and virtuous feelings of society, for the maintenance of a system which many of them deem un-Christian ; for the salary of ocials whose services they do not and cannot consistently enjoy. Wh a t is to be done? Must humanity continue thus to be out raged, religion defiled, and civil society distracted and made the very means of injustice, oppression, and hatred ? We call upon our active citizens to lose not an hour in con sulting, and determining the course to be pursued. Why should not the inhabitants of Edinburgh form immediately an Anti-Annuity Tax Society, both that they may obtain ultimately the abolition of the impost, and in the meantime may enable the humble and defenceless victims to defend themselves and resist the oppression. This is a work of justice and mercy, of necessity and wisdom, which the people may complete fur themselves if their rulers are unable to grant relief.—Scottish Last week, as Mr. Bignell, a schoolmaster, at Trox field, Hants, was driving a pony in a chaise down Stoner near Pctersfiell, the animal was attacked by a swarm of wasps, and so irritated that it ran off at full speed, but at the end of 200 yards fell dead. - - • STEAM EXPLO6IONs IN PARIS.—At the last meeting of the Academy of Sciences, Baron Seguiei read a memoir describing an invention of M. Trimot for prevent ing the bursting of steam-boilers. It consists in the adop tion of a tube terminated by a fusible stopper, and placed in the part of the furnace where the heat is most intense. The tube, which is a species of proof boLr, is to commu nicate with the body of the principal boiler by pipes, one of u maintained.
