A Dictionary of the Gaelic Language has long been a desi. deratuin in Celtic Literature ; the only work published under that name having, in reality, pretensions to no higher tide than that of a Vocabulary. The opportunities and pursuits of the Author of thepresent Work, who is a native of the Highlands, have enabled him to obtain an intimate acquaintance not only with the works of the ancient Gaelic Poets, but also with those of the more recent Caledonian authors which have obtained public esteem. To render any language more easy of attainment, it confes sedly desirable. The Gaelic is a language peculiarly interest ing; not only on account of its high antiquity, butat It con tains writings which, even through the medium of defective translations, have been extolled by every unbiassed critic, and by every judge of sublime composition. It was the conviction that the want of a Dictionary operated powerfully against' the uttainment of the Gaelic tongue, which induced the Compiler, though alone and unassisted, to undertake this Work. It has cost hint much labour and research ; but he will feel himself amply repaid,should his hopes be realized that he' has rendered' an acceptable service to the literature of his country. - The Compiler, in'order to exhibit the clearest tettiMonies to the antiquity of the Celtic, has gone largely into etymologyt he has traced affinities in almost every language in Lurope, as well as in many ancient and modern, languages of Asia ,and Africa • hut, in all this laborious and ramified research, he has admitted no instance of affinity to a foreign tongue, excepting indisputable. It it appeared obvious and • It is presumed that this Dictionary will form a- +ery useful appendage to every -library, as recording a branch of an origi. nal language, altogether unequalled - in describing: Nature, whether in her fairest toms, or her most stupendous opetations;' and in giving utterance, with effect, to the stfongest or to the softest passions of the human mind. This Work will be Use ful, itis hoped, to all who have a taste for philological learning. But the Highlander will more especially prim it, as furnishing him with an easy guide to correct orthography, and as adducing. 'authorities from`the ancient and modern classics of hit country:, It trust be very valuable to those also who may to acquire the(laelic as it is now spoken, or(with but little aid from a teached to peruse the far-famed Ossian in the latigartgein which he sang: The Author now most respectfully , solicits the patronage of a liberal public, especially of those Noblemen and Gentlemen who are more immediately connected with Scotland. lie yen.' tutee to address him& to every patron of literature, and every: admirer of the ancient poetical relics of Britain, to tit , pport an: undertaking which 'he hopes will be universally allnived to be deserving of encouragement.

A TORY,—The name of Tory was once otPi noxious, from ha connexion with the dangerous and exploded doctrines of the Stuarts. But time changes the spirit of titles sue well as of men. Toryism in is the representation of Whiggism in NM The tremendouS• lesson of the French Revolution has, perhaps, impressed it with a deeper fear of popular licentiousness; and a more solemn deference for the' wisdom of our anci:nt institutions; it may feel an inferior jai: lousy of the throne, from a fuller experience of the checks on its power ; and a keener *dam at innovation in politics and religion, from the knowledge that it is only preparative to the betrayal of both. But in all that made the great national ser vice of IVltiggban in 111811, its manly adherence to the national privileges, its honest love of liberty, its homage to the supre macy of the laws, its vigilance over the conduct of Mirlisters, its sincere reverence for the Constitution in Church anti Slate, Toryism now stands on the, same lofty ground with the spirit of our glorious IteValutionilant-xotri Mugu: irsc.) CunnAsT the' fruit is a prac tice of decided advantage. From this treatment many taste less fruits acquire a flavour, as is welLknown, and many bad flavours are converted into agreeable ones. In no case per. haps Is this more remarkable than in the black currant, which, harsh and comparatively insipid in Its natural state, acquires by boiling a powerful, and to most persons highly agreeable flavour. In making wine from this variety of 'currant, the effects of this process are very remarkable; the produce of the raw fruit being scarcely distineished by any particular property from the herd oe.mide wines, while that of the boiled fruit may with citrefiil management be brought to resemble some of the best of the sweet Cape wines. In the white and red currant, the same precaution has been attetidcd with results equally successful, though not marked by a. contrast so decided. If sweet wine is in. tended, the quantity of fruit for ten gallons should, not exceed 40 pounds ; if dry wine is desired, it may extend to 110. The proportion of sugar will be 30 . pounds as before. If a much stronger. wine of either quality is desired, it must extend to 40 pounds. Unsound or bruised fruit should be rejected ; and the remains of Vie blossoM and the fruit stalk carefully removed. Nisnics, Atro. or some mouths pa s t a singular mysterious being had concealed himself among our mountains, and the strangest stories were told of his habits and influence over the people. nut scarcely any sensible man believed in •the absurd reports that were spread concerning him. The police were in search of him for a considerable time, but his money or influence has hitherto kept him undiscovered. It scents that this solitary being is not alone ; forty or fifty outlaws are now said to be in the mountains which separate the departments flu Gard, 1)e llierault, De Pilveyron, and De la Lozere. The Prefects of these various departments have sent detach nients of troops i n pursuit, and two com p an i es h ave been sent from Nismes for the same purpose. It is generally believed that the small guerilla is composed of Veterans who are un willing,► to ge to Spain, and: That, the sole object of their con cealment is to avoid the new conscription laws. LA'RCASTER, WEDIN*SDAY, CIVIL COURT. (Before 31r. Justice' lIOI.IIUYII and a Special Atli./ , LIBEL CASE.--CIIOIII3IY L. GIBSON: (Further Partieulars.) .s - • Mr. STAIktE opened the Pleadings. The declaration stated that by a certain libellous [publication, of Which the defendant was tlic author, the plainun good, name and • credit were in , jured--that he, had .

The defendant teas aadunte of the University of Oxford, intended for the Church and 1:111t what promise to the interests of the establishment, the Jury would most problthly estimate from the direction given to the first fruits of those studies which . were to fit hint for that sacred mission.

It so happened that the plaintiff was his father's tiNgilbour, anti when relieved from his avocations at the Uni versity, the neighbour of the 'defendant. Not his neighbour alone, according to the general acceptation of the word, but a gentleman, with whoM heyas in the habit of' living on terms of friendly Intercourse. When such a man peblished a libel against his friend, therefore, he could look fir no palliation on the ground of its being written accidentally, or with sonic Thew of prbeocation, but if proved to have been his production, mast be conNered as originating in malice—as originating in that eery spirit of rancour and acrimony, Which too. frequentle was displayed by the enemies of the Church', hitt .the influence of which, those enemies attributed as the very spirit by which Churchmen were actiated. The defendant is the son of a man of property in the neighbourhood of Lancaster. Frain his edu cation he ought to he a Gentleman ; whether he feels the spirit of that character jt. would be for the Jury of his 'country to Ott, i decide. It' he tt, Searlett) Were rightly nstructed,it would be shewn to them that this Oxford Seholar, a candidate for a sacred mission, was to be traced in the haunts of public-houses, hawing of his literary pretensions, and his literary exertions afabm?t the farmers and tradesmen of Bolton, arid not suds. lied with their decision, lint assuming is degree of pleasure in the recollection that he had inflicted a severe and unprovoked. wound upon the feelings of his unoffending neighbour and friend. The medium which this candidate for Oiciars selected, in ottiki to give publicity to those exertions; was the Westmor land e'kspaper, called the Xendal ehronwle, and the assumed name wider. which the Graduate of Oxford appeared was that of Meier Synftd.. It was to be remarked, with no great credit to the Graduate, that that was the very bye-name assumed in those thrashing piiblicationa which found dick' way into public , : house stidety. It was the nom du uerie of the defendant--and a most atSpriate one it Wag' to aequire for him a low celebrity in' the most vulgar ranks of literary pretension.— In sending the libel to the Edit6r of the Paper, lie was ea tremely SolicitotAt to impress uporf. his mind the .phealenCe of that figure which ire called ro,tia, through the whole of the t:erforeiance. By thd anxiety he felt td demonstrate to the .41itoi:- the ironic of his lerter, it we evident that 'he was ap. prehenitycleit the depths; of his ironical Performance would nut be fdtbotrical b, the Orion in whose Paper he published, and to *hem he addressed. hinaself.

So acted the Oxford.eandidate for Orftt-rs—he praise with irania, but he still found it neces sary to - ail vertist tlieKendal Editor that it was irony.
