The funeral procession left the church at 11 a.m. It was headed by half a battalion of National Guards ; the coffin was borne by forty National Guards, who had volunteered to perform this office. The Municipal Council and the staff of tie Na tional Guard followed. The pall was held by the Mayor, the Commander-in-Chief of the National Guards, the President of the Chamber of Deputies, and M. Gorresio of the Academy of Sciences. Depu tations of the Senate, the Chamber of Deputies, the University, the Acadeiny of Sciences, the working classes, the Italian refugees, and National Guard, brought up the rear. The insignia of the priestly office and of the degree of doctor were laid on the coffin. The streets and windows were crowded with spectators, quantities of flowers were showered all along upon the coffin, and costly bouquets were presented by the students and other bodies. Eighty ecclesiastics awaited the body at the churchyard, where, after due service performed in the chapel, it was entombed in the vault destined to it. Up wards of 20,000 persons were present in the church yard, but not the slightest disorder occurred. on Wednesday next. The crew will have ample oppor tunities for again entering in other war-steamers, as four of the largest steam-frigates in the Royal Navy have been commissioned at the eastern ports during the present week. The Firebrand paddle-wheel steam-frigate, of 410 horse power, Captain Edward Codd, arrived at Wool wich to-day, from the Mediterranean station, and is ex pected to be paid off at this port on Saturday next. She went down the river again to try her engines, that the chief engineer at the factory here might be able to report on their present condition. The St. Vincent convict-ship, Surgeon-superintenden Thomas Somerville, and Mr. John Young master, ha: arrived at moorings opposite the Royal Arsenal to em bark convicts. The Isabel discovery-ship, Commander Inglefield, came up the river to Woolwich Dockyard yesterday ; and Com mander Inglefield accompanied the crew to-day to the Sailors' Howe in London, and paid them off there—a most admirable plan, as several of the men were anxious to obtain leave, and might have been induced to spend all their earnings before going home. ROYAL MARlNES.—Lieutenant-Colonels Samuel Garm ston and Richard Lyde Hornbrook, of the Portsmouth Division, have been placed on the retired full pay list, under an order in Council, dated November the 10th, 1852, which gives promotion to the following officers : Brevet Major Hugh Evans, of the Portsmouth Division, to be Lieutenant-Colonel ; Brevet Major Samuel Robert Wesley (Assistant Adjutant-General), to be Lieutenant- Colonel ; First Lieutenant James Ainslie Stewart, Ad jutant of the Woolwich Division, to be Captain ; First Lieutenant James Pickard, Quartermaster of the Ports mouth Division, to be Captain ; Second Lieutenant Thomas George Shelton Meheux, of the Woolwich Di vision, to be First Lieutenant ; Second Lieutenant William Tauzia, Savary, of the. Plymouth Division, to be First Lieutenant ; First Lieutenant John William Coltman Williams, of the Artillery corps, who was wounded at Lagos, to be Quartermaster at Portsmouth, vice Pickard, promoted. DEATH OF THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN THE EAST INDIES. The telegraphic overland dispatch from India gives us the sad intelligence of the death of Rear-Admiral of the Red Charles John Austen, C. 8., the Commander-in- Chief of the East India station, which took place on the Bth of October in the expedition to Prome. The gallant and distinguished officer was born in 1779, and was the younger brother of Admiral Sir F. Austen, K.C.B. He entered the service in 1791. He was in the Unicorn, 38, at the capture of the Dutch brig Comet, 18, and the French frigate La Tribune, 44. He was in several affairs with gun-boats and privateers, and dis tinguished himself in boarding after her capture, the Scipio, 18 guns, in a boat with four men during a vio lent gale, and retained possession of her until the fol lowing day. He was promoted to a commander from first lieutenant of the Endymion for his conduct at the capture of three men of war and • two privateers. He was posted after five years' hard work. As a captain he acquired great experience during the war, in command of the Swiftsure, 72 ; Cleopatra, 32 ; Namur, 74 ; Phcenix, 36, when he had charge of a squadron in pursuit of Neapolitans and French, and obtained the unqualified approbation of Lord Exmouth. He was wrecked in the Phcenix, but he was fully acquitted of all blame. He subsequently commanded the Aurora, 46, as second in command in the West Indies ; in the Winchester, 52, and as flag captain in the Bellerophon, 78, at St. Jean d'Acre. He was promoted to his flag rank in 1846, and was appointed Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies in January, 1850. _ _ By the death of Rear Admiral Austen the following promotions and removals take place : Captain Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., M.P. (1822), becomes rear admiral of the blue ; Sir Edward Lyons, K.C.H., G.C.8., moving to the white squadron; and Peter John Douglas to the red squadron. Sir George R. Brooke Pechell, Bart. (26th December, 1822), is now the senior captain on the list. Captains George Berkeley Maxwell (1830) succeeds to the senior half-pa 3 list, and Lewis T. Jones (captain of the Sampson) to the second senior list. The promotion of Sir Thomas Herbert gives another good service pension to the patronage of the Duke of Northumberland ; and Sir Thomas having become a rear admiral, a new patent will be necessary, and the Board of Admiralty will now include three flag officers. THE SITN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1852. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SPORTMG NOTES.—No. CCCLV. The Crewe Steeplechases, established a few years back, have already gained strength, and may be consi dered a regular steeple chase fixture. To-morrow the usual Edleston and Hatherton Stakes, and Crewe Grand Annual Steeple Chase, will be decided. The Edleston Stakes, a free handicap steeple chase of 5 sovs. each, with 30 added, winners extra, the winner to be sold by. auction, &c. (three miles), has obtained eleven accept ances, several of which have already been supported with great spirit. The Flying Buck seems to be the centre of attraction, and Yorkshireman and Frank his nearest at tendants in the betting. Gulnaie, the top weight at lOst 121 b., can have no chance with Frank at 81b. less. Crabbs, at 10st. is undoubtedly well in ; but this being his first public appearance in the character of a steeple chaser, it is very possible that he may be not quite up to the work. Lamplugh's Yorkshireman disposed of Quickstep and Falcon, who are each weighted at 9st. 101 b. The Grey Gelding, by Greatheart, although handicapped very lightly, is not the horse I should select for a winner. I entertain no better opinion of Jenny Jones or Galileo ; in fact I think that the whole of the light weight division will have to give place to Mr. Smith's Harmony, who figures at the feather of Bst. 61b. The Flying Buck I know comparatively little about, but his proprie tor and immediate friends assert that he is almost certain to carry off the stake. It is my opinion that FRANK is about the best of the lot, and, if meant, is quite capable of winning. The second place I shall give to Flying Buck or Harmony, and think the last-named well worth backing for a win, at his outside price for the off chance, as he is in capital trim at the present time, and with such a light weight as he will have to carry, he must be, barring accidents, about the mark. Why the handicap per should put him at the base of the scale of weight I know not, as he is a very fair second-class hunter. The Crewe Grand Annual Steeplechase, a free handi cap of 10 cove. each, with 60 added, winners extra, three miles. This steeplechase has obtained an accept ance of sixteen, of whom eight or more, at the least, will go to the post. When this stake was first in troduced into the betting last week, Magpie's son, Clatterbox, was instantly made the favourite, a posi tion, however, which he failed to maintain. The animals principally inquired after this morning are the Emperor, Janus, and Abd-el-Fader. The top weight, Mr. Lyrrell's Peter, last carried this stake off with lOst. 121 b. up • the task he has now go t t o d o , if h e can, i s to carry 71b. more, and win—of his doing of this, however, I hold considerable doubts. Osborne's Abd-el-Kader, at 10st. 81b., ought to win easily, and I entertain but little doubt that he will. Peter Simple, at 41b. less than the preceding, I think has his chance disposed of by the Algerian prisoner. Johnnie Barrie has many friends, especially at Manchester, but I am not among the number. Young Lottery, if he runs, will not impro bably get a very forward p os iti on ; but I consider in him we shall not see the winner. Little Charley and the Screw are of course for this race ; and I cannot say that I have any penchant for Janus. Clatterbox, also, is unattractive to me. The same remark will apply to the Unknown, the Emperor, Benedict, and Expert. 1 Royal Blue and Widow Machree I expect will run un commonly well, and, with Janus and Young Lottery, will finish close behind the winner, who, I opine, will be ABD-EL-KADER.

A letter from St. Petersburgh states that on the 3d there were 57 new cases of cholera and 27 deaths. The number of cases under treatment had been re duced to 267. The New Prussian Gazette, under date of War saw, 17th, says :—" While the Customs' question is still awaiting solution in Germany, Russia is de veloping her prohibitive system on an immense scale. We will give an instance of it. Some gold smiths of Kelisch and Warsaw had imported from Germany not only the raw materials, but jewellery ready made ; and, notwithstanding the heavy duties which they had to pay, their speculation was a profitable one. From the Ist of January next, the goldsmiths will be compelled to send to a spe cial commission, established at Warsaw, all their metals, which will be melted down and stamped ; and henceforward they will not be allowed to use any metals that do not bear this stamp, so that all foreign objects of luxury will disappear from com merce. Any one offending against this order will be punished with a fine, and the articles will be confiscated." lONIAN ISLANDS. The Corfu Gazette of the Gth contains a notifica- tion from the director of police of Cephalonia, an nouncing that the Lord High Commissioner, having seen with pleasure from the official reports he has received, that tranquillity has been restored in the island of Cephalonie, and that its inhabitants ap pear to be sensible of the necessity of respecting the laws ; and having, moreover, received favour able accounts of the prisoners condemned by Court martial to various punishments, for their partici pation in the insurrection of 1849, has granted a full pardon to 17 of those' prisoners, who have been immediately set at liberty. Of these seven had been condemned to imprisonment for life, one to the same punishment for 20, one for 14, seven for 10, and one for seven years. As to the four pri soners still remaining, one, being deranged, is to be sent to the lunatic asylum at Corfu ; the other three have been pardoned on condition of their leaving the lonian States within a fortnight. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 28. Her Majesty and the Court will arrive at this port to morrow afternoon, en route to the Isle of Wight. A night telegraphic communication with the Admiralty is ordered to be established in the Port Admiral's office here. Lieutenant Clavering, of the Excellent, is appointed supernumerary to the Victory, for the special object of raising 100 volunteer seamen (60 A.B. and 40 ordinary) for Admiralty service. A committee of Royal Artillery officers, consisting of Colonel Cator, Colonel Colquhoun, and others, arrived at this port on Wednesday, to try experiments on shells —principally of French invention—on board the Excel lent. The Earl of Northesk having visited the Portsmouth Sailors' Home lately, and finding that in addition to the sum necessary for providing the requisite increased ac commodation, 1,000/. are wanting to complete the pur chase of the original premises, kindly offered 1001. for that object, if nine other persons would give the same amount. The following sums have been offered, subject to the terms of the proposer :—The Earl of Northesk, 100/. ; the Earl St. Vincent, 1001. ; London Central Committee for Sailors' Homes, 1001. ; "the Mother of a Sailor," through Rear-Admiral Sir W. E. Parry, 1001. As the necessary alterations are delayed until this pur chase is effected, it is to be hoped the six more names needful to accomplish the desired object will not be want ing to complete the requisite sum. By letters from the Indian squadron we learn with much regret the death of Mr. Morgan, the assistant surgeon of the Fox, 24, from cholera, on board. The Sidon, paddle-frigate 21, 1,326 tons, 560-horse power, was ordered to be commissioned at this port yesterday, by Captain Goldsmith, late of the Wellesley, 72. She is to have a complement of 300 officers and men. The Furious paddle-frigate, 16, 400-horse power, was also commissioned yesterday at this port by Captain Loring. The weather on this part of the coast is awfully bad— nothing but a succession of gales, squalls, and high seas, destructive alike to trade ashore, shipping afloat, and comfort everywhere, especially in the low longshore dwellings of the poor. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 28. The Avon steamer, Master Commander Veitch, ar rived last evening from Portsmouth. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Spiteful, 6, Commander George Parker, arrived yesterday.

The officers of the ships in ordinary in Hamoaze were mustered on board the St. George on Friday. The General Screw Steam Navigation Company's new mail packet Mauritius, Captain Elder, having been de tained in the Downs, did not arrive here until the 26th. The late severe gales have caused considerable damage to merchant shipping in the entrance to the Channel. SHEERNESS, Nov. 28. Her Majesty's troop-ship Resistance, 10, Master Brad shaw, master commanding, arrived at the Nore yester day, 'at 1 p.m., 15 days from Gibraltar. She is to pro ceed forthwith to Woolwich.

Montagu Stopford, of the Waterloo, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, of the Agamemnon, and other officers, ordered to attend a survey on invalids at Melville Hospital. _ . Her Majei n ty's screw steam line-of-battle ship Aga memnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, has slung her lower yards and sent them aloft. She will be com plete in her rig in about a fortnight. Her complement of marines has been increased by one subaltern and 24 privates of the Chatham division. Her Majesty's ship London, 90, advanced ship, Cap tain G. R. Mundy, is 30 hands short of her complement of 445. Her Commander, Mr. George Hancock (1850), is about to be superseded at his own request, and will be succeeded by Commander Octavius Cumberland (1852). Captain Mundy has been granted further leave of ab sence until the end of December for the benefit of his health. Her Majesty's brigantine Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant Comanding William Wood (b.), arrived yesterday after noon, and brought to at the anchorage between the Swin and Nore. On coming into harbour she will be placed in the fitting basin to be dismantled and paid off. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-frigate Cyclops, Lieutenant Seccombe, commanding pro tem. arrived at Greenock on the 20th in s t., f our and a quarter days from Portsmouth. i o n ffi e, c e A r s g , a m s e a e m m n e n o , n an a n d dmarHines oo,f werethe Wmautsetrelroeod, forenoon by Capt a i n t h e.

The arrival of the Spiteful was telegraphed to the Ad miralty, and it is understood she will be paid off at De vonport, and recommissioned. THE FLOOD AND THE CaoPs.—An average portion of the late heavy rains has fallen in the fenny parts of South Holland ; but, in addition to this, an immense volume of high country water has passed through the district. Upon the whole, however, it is found that less inconvenience and damage have been sustained than in the highlands. A considerable breadth of wheat was sown early this season (early sowing is now in favor) : this is well up, and has a healthy appearance : the later sown wheats are damaged, the germinating powers of the seed having been weakened by the cold and wet. To use the farmer's expression, the grain is burst. Not withstanding the unfavorable weather the wheat seeding has continued : the late sown, should frost set in, will be damaged. On Friday, in the Lord Mayor's Court, Mr. Nairn, a sailcloth maker, of 34, Bread-street, City, claimed compensation in respect of his premises, which were re quired for carrying out the improvements westward of King-William-street to St. Paul's Churchyard. The Attorney-General and Mr. Locke appeared for the claimant, and the Solicitor-General, the Common-Ser geant, and Mr. Randall for the City Improvement Com mittee. Mr. Nairn claimed 3001. as compensation for loss of trade 1521. for repairs and alterations, 801. for fixtures, 1001. for expenses of removal, and 2501. for un expired term of lease, making a total of 8821. After evidence had been given as to the items in respect of which compensation was claimed, the Recorder summed up, and the jury returned a verdict for 4001. FATAL COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. —A very serious collision, terminating fatally to an en gine -driver, happened on Friday evening on the newly opened line to Birmingham of the Great Western Rail way, and, considering the character of the mishap, it is most surprising that it did not involve a greater loss of life. The escape of the passengers in the trains which came in contact is most marvellous. The ordinary train which leaves Birmingham at 5 o'clock in the afternoon for London came up to Heyford station between 8 and 9 o'clock, and, as we are informed, some 15 minutes behind its time, arising, it was said, from the many slips which have taken place alon g the road during the late heavy rains. The setting down and taking up of passengers having been arranged, the engine driver was desired to back the train over to a goods shed in order to take up a loaded truck. The building being on the opposite side, it became necessary to cross the train over the down line, a practice which requires the greatest precaution, and which ought never to be adopted when the line is not known to be perfectly free and nothing is expected along it. The train was being backed across the metals, when just as about one half of it had passed over the down line into the siding leading to the shed, the whistle of the engine of the express, which left Paddington terminus at 5, and was due'at the station—where, however, it had not to stop— was heard. The underguarcl instantly called out to the driver of the Birmirigham train which was being shunted, " Good God ! bear a hand and be quick, here's the ex press coming !" The driver did all he could to expedite the backing and to get clear of the main rails, but in consequence of their greasy state, resulting from the wet weather, the driving wheels would not bite so effec tually as could be desired. However, in another moment or so the engine would have been clear of the line, when the express came up, and the two locomotives came in contact with fearful violence. The shock is described to have been very severe, as may be judged by the rate express trains on this railway generally travel. The company represent that the passengers escaped unhurt, but accounts from Birmingham intimate that two, at least, were much injured. Unhappily, the driver of the express engine lost his life. His name was George Thompson. ARRIVAL FROM THE CAPE.—Her Majesty's steam vessel Rhadamanthus, Master-Commander Belom, ar rived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday evening, at eight o'clock. She left the Cape Oct. 5, and called at St. Helena, Sierra Leone, and Teneriffe on her way home. As she left five days before the Propontis, there is no news by her. She brought Lieut. Brown, R.A., Lieut. Elkington, of the 40th Regiment, and another army offi cer, as passengers, as also Lieut. Carrington, RN., of the Hydra, and Mr. Switser, second master, R.N., late of the Gladiator. Mr. Switser was left in the hospital at the sailing of the Gladiator, and on Thursday last, being on duty as officer of the watch, he was knocked from the bridge by a blow from the sail, and fell on a ring bolt and broke his thigh. The Rhadamanthus spoke to the Sharpshooter on Friday, at noon ; the weather at the time was very severe. There was no coal at St. Helena when the Rhadamanthus called there, and so she was obliged to go on to Sierra Leone for coal. DURHAM CITY ELECTION.—Mr. Fenwick, the Li beral and Free-trade candidate, and Lord Adolphus Vane, the Ministerialist, are both engaged re-canvassing the freemen and electors of this city for the vacant seat occasioned by the recent death of Mr. P. C. Granger, Q. C. GOLD DIGGINGS.-Six seamen recently arrived at the Sailors'Home, Wells-street, bringing with them loose gold dust amountin g in value to 2,5001., the produce of their labour at the Australian gold diggings, The pro cess of melting and assaying was prepared for them through the instrumentality of the officers of that in stitution, and the full value procured from the Bank of England. The men are now returning to their homes, and these large sums will be sent to meet them without any risk or deduction, WOLVERHAMPTON STEEPLECHASES.

From his earliest childhood, the subject of this inquiry had exhibited symptoms of a weak intellect, and when at the age of eleven years displayed much violence and obstinacy of temper, his conduct increasing riod to 1847, during which I,e in violence from that pe -was in the constant habit of ill-treating his grandmother, particularly kicking her legs, which were continually i n a state of discoloration from the bruises thereby occasioned. This ho said he could not help ; but he did not Wish to do so, as he was very fond of her. At subsequent periods he had offered to fight young females. In 1849, he had with great vio lence turned his grandmother into th e street, and she was afraid to re-enter. This was at eleven o'clock at night. In February, 1850, he again attacked his grand mother, knocking out no less than six of her teeth ; shortly after which it was deemed n ecessary to place him under restraint with Mr. Stran ge , He imagined that everybody was the devil, and Were poisoning his food. He expressed his fear that he had killed hi s g ran dmother, and said the devil had told him to do it. His insanity was occasioned by abscesses which form e d on the dura mater between the skull-cap and the brain. The jury returned a verdict, dating the un soundness of mind from the Ist of January 1847. THE GALES IN THE CHANNEL. --.10 ... ORTSMOUTII, SUN DA-Y.—The heavy weather in the c hannel is causing daily arrivals at this port of vessels which have met with various degrees of damage. Yesterday, the Dutch schooner Seabloem, Captain Zuglen, from Liverp ool to Amsterdam, was towed into harbour with loss of fore and maintopmasts, sa ils, bulwarks, a ce. and one man, named Dirk Lall, killed in clearing the wreck. The same day the Prussian ship Selma, Captain Cuske, from Gloucester to Dantzig, put in with loss of sails, bul warks, &c., having been thrown on her b eam - en d s o ff the Start on the 26th. The Amity, SYmes, from Hart lepool, has got on shore at the Woolsteners, and sunk; whilst the gale on Thursday night Was so strong as to force a heavy collier to the east of Ryde over the pier, carrying away some 50 feet of it. The gale has con tinued throughout this day (Sunday), accompanied with tremendous showers of rain. THE LATE EARTHQUAKE. —Th e Evening Mail has published the following extract of a private letter from Virginia (U.S.) of Nov. 6, from which it appears that an earthquake was felt in that place nearly about the same time that the recent shock took place in England and Ireland. The writer of the letter say s :.___‘, Just as I closed this letter, the house was so shaken by an earth quake th a t we have; all gone out of doors. It is our first experience of such a phenomenon, and it is an awful feeling—the ground rolling under our feet." ACTION FOR DEFAMATION AGAINST MRS. H. B. STOWE. —Dr. J ee l Parker, o f New Yo r k, h as commenced an action against the authoress of " Uncle Tom's Cabin," for defamation, damages laid at 20,000 dols. It is stated that Dr. Jeel Parker, on hearing the mention Mrs. Stowe had made of his name as the author of an atrocious sentiment, wrote to her, offering proof that she had been misinformed, and that he was not the author of that sentiment. Mrs. Stowe made no reply until a third letter elicited from her the assertion that she had documentary evidence of the truth of her statement. Hereupon Dr, Parker commenced his action, 16 20 5 2 101 25 10 1.0 6 i 0 100 100 100 SHARES, 'lO7 - 109 103 ------ 105 19 -19 A - P 6 - 6. - - 4 1i -- 2 r) la 15 15,fi 17 - 17. 3 --- 3 1127 --- itio 1112 - 114 9 -- 91: i - 1 p LO9 -- 110 Par 7 i PI .52 155 ... -- p'. 3 i - 4 p 81 si 131 -- 13 9i -10 A 11 -- 111 A # P ia-413 par -- p 150 - 151 5t - li - 2i 103 - 105 24i - 251 2 -21 pj 111 - 11 17 18 17 1A 18 p id —ip 25i -26 i 19 - 2.0 id — par LO2 104 511 sil I BANKS, :t. 100 !O .4 I all a 1 23 ', 1 71 all a 2 18 ; ;t. 100 [OO 50 all 50 all 50 45 ?,5 all .5l all 5 all 18 1 all . ) ,0 all ro all . ) ,5 6 15 all it.

W. Savage,q."the Bachelor of the Albany." '3 vols. Chapman and Hall. The author of ".The Bachelor of the Albany' has• deservedly found: avour with the reading pub lid. There is so muclisht awdness in his perceptions of character; ancl_so much spirit in his delineations individuality that hi s he roes and heroines are invested with an not conimonly met with in the novel charactbrs of - the — pre - sent day. In his new work, Mr. Savage has adventured upon a somewhat am bitious attempt. aim is not only to amuse, but toinstruct, his reader,—to instruct by a warn ing .example. His satire is directed against a not uncommon error of modern education, namely, that ambition which seeks to acquire "many things," not to accomplish "much"—nvalta non multam. Reuben Metllidott, whose name is an indication of his cha racter—for, like the Reuben of ancient times, he is "unstable as water," and, like the poem of Tenny son, his acquirements are " a medley". Reuben Medli cott is the " coming man," " always coming, but never come," bountifully laden with the flowers of promise, which, in no s i ngle instance, are de veloped into the fruits of performance. With abilities sufficient to raise him to a prominent place in any particular career, he aims at all things and accomplishes nothing. Among his many accom plishments, Reuben is unfortunately conspicuous for a fluency of language, hardly to be called elo quence, seeing that it consists in an abundance of words ratherthan thoughts ; but with his injudicious admirers it passes for • oratory of - the most brilliant order, and Reuben is elected as the representative of his native town of Chichester. His failure in the House of Commons, and his failures in his other multitudinous undertal6ngs—his affectation and foppery—his abounding self-confidence and provok ing versatility, are described in that felicitous man ner in which the author of the " Bachelor of the Albany" excels. Quiet sarcasm alternates with lively satire in these pages, and wiles the reader on through what would other Wise be somewhat of a dull history, for the life of Reuben Medlicott, full of warning though it be, is not of itself sufficiently interesting to keep our attention suspended through out three volumes. Many passages, especially in his earlier life—the tour in Wales for example— might have been omitted with little detri ment to the value of the work. In the group which immediately encircles Reuben, are many capitally drawn charact ers . His fa,' ther is a country vicar, a quiet easy man, devoted to gardening, his mother the daughter of Dean, after wards Bishop Wyndham, is a learned lady, to whom Reuben is greatly indebted for the medley acquire ments which characterise him. His ' biographer shrewdly remarks, that had the vicar cultivated his cabbages less and his son more, or had his mo ther's stockings been of another colour, it might have been better - for Reuben. The Barsac family with whom our hero in his school days becomes ac quainted, are adniirably sketched by that same pencil which portrayed the Narrow - Smiths and the Spreads. The daughters of the family are surnamed by Reuben's schoolfellows, Pale Sherry, Brown Sherry, and . Dry Sherry, Mr. Barsac, being a wine merchant; Pale Sherry, the object of Reuben's bOyish love, becomes the bride of his grandfather, Dean Wyndham, one of the most effective characters inthe book. The various school companions of Reuben, the energetic Winning, the poeti c Hy ac i n th, th e selfish De Tabley, and even the booby son of the Chichester Apothecary, . Theodore Pigwideon, attain in the course of the narrative to honourable positions in their several walks of life ; but Reuben; the pro mising and brilliant, is left behind, and in his me lancholy old age a miserable wreck, points a moral to the " coming men" of the new genera tion—" perdidi vitam." For • the benefit of that moral, we commend the - work to our readers, and if, as we have intimated, the story is somewhat too long drawn out, ample compensation will be found in the lively and sparkling, manner in which ii;is at times narrated. Every " book" is pre faced with an " argument," . written in a comic strain, which is occasionally very happy. , The _Romance of the Forum.. EY I'. Burke, of the Inner Temple. 2 vols.: - Cc' slbuin. This work contains a series of narratives, scenes, and anecdotes from C our t s o f Justice.:. It' is truly observed in the preface, that " these volumes de rive their contents from matter of truth more strange and startling than any flight of fiction, however daring and fantastic. "No one unaccus tomed to such perusal could imagine these records to be of a character so remarkable, or of a nature so interesting. They have, indeed, a right to the title of romance, for in no pages of fiction has the novelist ever introduced the like wonders, the same horrors, or s i m il ar conv i c ti ons. Th e real has here its triumph over the ideal, nature prevails be yond art, and the revelations of truth are shown to surpass the suppositions of fable and the imaginings of fancy. In many instances the scenes referred to have been passed abroad; and such information has been gleaned from various foreign works. In this respect the English have been behind other countries, it has been remarked, for few accounts of remarkable trials have been preserved, a circum stance to be regretted, both intellectually and morally—as such must be of service to the student, and of information to the general reader; while they hold out a solemn warning to the devotees of crime that the deepest cunning will not make a crooked way look straight, or the greatest caution keep their dark deeds from coming one day to the light of justice. " Thus far shalt thou go, but no farther," has the voice of retribution declared to the sinner in many a convicted outrage. The following anecdote of a canine discoverer of crime is very interesting : " Aubri de Mondidier, a gentlem an o f f am il y and for tune in Montargis, travelling alone through the forest of Bondi, near Paris, was murdered, and buried under a tree. His dog, an English bull-dog, would not quit his master's grave for several days, till at length, compelled by hunger, he proceeded to the house of an intimate friend of the unfortunate Aubri, at Paris, and by his melancholy howling seemed desirous 'of expressing the loss they had both sustained. He repeated his cries, ran to the door, looked back to see if an y one followed him, returned to his master's friend, pulled him by the sleeve, and, with dumb eloquence, entreated him to go with_ him. The singularity of all these actions of the dog, added to the circumstance of his coming them without his master, whose faithful companion he bad always been, prompted i w o h w o i conductedscratching them to the the a co t m re p e an l y vh t e o r - e fo ilileowretnheeivaenimdal, his significantly entreating them to search withh that i p lis feet,articulr spot. Accordingly, on digging, the body of the unhappy Aubri was found. Some time after, the dog accidentally met the assassin, the Chevalier Macsire, when, instantly seizing him by the throat, he was with great difficulty compelled to quit his hold. The king, struck with such a collection of circumstantial evidence against Macaire, determined to refer the decision to the chance of battle ; in other words, he gave orders for a combat between the Chevalier and. the dog. The lists wore appointed in the Isle of Notre Dame, then an unen closed, uninhabited place—Macaire's weapon being a great cudgel. The dog had-an empty c astle allowed him for his r e t rea t,' t o enable him to recover breath. Every thing being prepared, the dog no sooner found himself at liberty than he ran round his adversary, avoiding his blows, and menacing him on every side, till.his strength was exhausted—then, springing forward, he grasped him by the throat, th rew hi m on th e ground, oal. and l In con se him to confess hi s gu ilt i n th e presence sequence, the Ch eva li er w as convicted on his o wn - acknowledgment, and beheaded."
