To men v%+o meet for such purposes, and with such feelingssttliere is a natural charm in those eki6eskes Which drown consciousness, and stifle far the time the gnaw_ ings of reflectiqnl On Lord EBRINGTON'S health being proposed, the Noble Lord made an excellent speech, which Will be found in another part of our Paper. We would parti cularly direct the attention of cur readers to that part of it in which the Noble Speaker alludes to the posi tion of the Ministers, attacked on the one side by the Tories for doing so much, and on the other by the Ultra-Radicals for doing nothing at all— denounced by the one party as the overthrowers of the Monarchy and all its subsidiary institutions, by their reckless and rapid innovations ; and up held to public ridicule by the other, as moving in the path of Reform at a pace so slow as to put the tortoise to shame. Lord EBRINGTON'S observations on the late elec tions appear to us to be extremely just. He imputes the successes of the Tories to bribery and intimidation, and also, in a great degree, to misrepresentation. There can be no doubt that this weapon was used very extensively, and very effectually, among the ignorant rustics in the Counties, and particularly by those who ought to blush that there is such a being as an igno rant rustic in the land—the. Parsons. One of these pure-minded weekly preachers of truth, in the county of Devon, actually told his hearers from the pulpit that the Ministers had brought in a Bill for pulling down all the Churches ! And the poor people actually believed . this electioneering touter, and gave their votes to the candidate who promised to keep the Churches from being pulled down. On the subject of justice to Ireland, Lord EnRING TON thus manfully expresses his sentiments : So long as Mr. O'Connell and his followers advocated that mischievous and dangerous policy the repeal of the Union no ono was more strenuously opposed to them than I ; but when they limit their object to what I in my conscience believe to be but com mon justice when they ask only what we enjoy, and what, let it be remembered, we promised Ireland when the Union was effected (for the condition of the compact was, that she should participate in the civil privileges which we possessed ourselves)—l say when they Unlit their views to so reasonable a compass, I will not be deterred by any appre hension that I shall be classed among the members of what is called " Mr. O'Connell's tail," from demanding, aye and from demanding as loudly as Mr. O'Connell can do, although with very far less ability, those concessions to which I conceive Ireland is most justly entitled ; and I shall treat with scorn and contempt the hypocritical cant of those who are endeavouring to revive the cry of " No Popery," and would persuade you that the Protestant Church of this country will be injured by an act of justice to your fellow. subjects in the sister kingdom. 1 L ~ THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The most important news this morning is that from Por tugal. The Chartists have been defeated. It appears that the reports which prevailed yesterday afternoon of the death of the young Prince, and the dangerous state of the Queen, are totally unfounded. ?111 FUNDS.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, YESTERDAY. —The demand for Cotton continues but moderate, and the Market rather dull, but there is scarely any change to notice since Tuesday last. The sales to-day are 2,500 bags, consisting of 100 Pernams at 9d.; 150 bales, 7id., Rid.; 130 Laguiras, Gid.; 250 Surats and Madras, 4d. a 51-; and the rest American, chiefly at Gd. to 7d. per lb. Yesterday forenoon an investigation took place at the Ton n-hall, Gravesend, relating to the fire which hap pened on Sunday last on the estate of Mr. Baker, a magis trate, at Chalk. From circumstances that transpired after the alarm and danger had subsided on Sunday, suspicion fell on a servant lately discharged by Mr. Baker. A war rant was placed in the hands of one of the county constables, and yesterday morning he was conveyed to the Town-hall, and placed before the Mayor of Gravesend and William Bevan, Esq., two justices of the peace for the county. The only circumstances of suspicion against him were, that since his discharge he had been several times heard to speak in unfriendly terms of his master. The magistrates thought there was evidence enough to justify them in detaining him, and he was remanded for further examination. FATAL ACCIDENT AT WHITBREAD'S BREW ERY.—Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, a man of the name of Young was killed instantaneously within Messrs. Whitbread's brewhouse, in Whiteeross-street. He was rolling sonic casks of beer, when one, which was being hauled up into the warehouse, by the crane, fell upon him and caused his death. Yesterday morning, about twenty-five minutes to five o'clock, Simnel William Lauring, aged thirty-five years, expiri in Guy's Hospital, from the effects of the bite of a dog in a rabid state, which he received about a month since. It. appears that the deceased was a fish monger, and resided in Widegate-alley, Bishopsgate-strcet without. As he was returning home one night he tumbled over a scraper, when the dog in question flew out of the doorway and bit him slightly in the hand. He paid co particular attention to the wound, which, although very painful at times, quickly healed. On Sunday morning, while sitting at breakfast, he was seized, while attempting to swallow a fluid, with a peculiar affection of the muscles of the throat, and a convulsive tremor of the whole system. He rapdly grew worse, and, accompanied by his wife, went to the hospital. He was then perfectly sensible, capable of walking steadily, and apparently in ordinary good health ; but as he was being shown into one of the wards he sud denly encountered a current of air from the opening of an opposite door, and was instantly assailed by a most violent and long continued paroxysm of this dreadful malady. His peculiar affection being determined beyond all manner of doubt, he was promptly attended to by Dr. Addison, the head physician of the establishment ; but all professional skill was of no avail. After the endurance of the extreme of human suffering, he expired at the time above men tioned. The deceased's family are totally unprovided for. An inquest will be forthwith held on the body. This is the second instance of the loss of life at this hospital from hydrophobia within four days. Last night, an inquisition was taken at the Prince's Head, Prince's-street, Westminster, before Mr. Higgs and a respectable Jury, on the bodies of Michael Donovan and John Handley, the labourers, who unfortunately lost their lives by the late accident at the coach manufactory of Messrs. Vidler and Co., Millbank. John Smith deposed to being superintendent of the works now going on at Messrs. Vidler's ; they were digging a foundation for a new shop on the premises, and on Friday afternoon last, about ten minutes to four, witness was in the foundation along with the deceased men, giving orders, when he ob served the wall coming down ; he instantly cried out for the men to take care, and pulled one of them by the arm ; he was, however, knocked down himself, but not hurt. On rising he saw the wall down, and the poor men partly bu ried in the ruins ; he immediately ran to their assistance, and found them covered with blood. The wall parted the premises of Messrs. Seagar and Evans ; it was about 25 feet high, and on the other side there were a quantity of bags containing juniper berries, which appeared to have pressed against it. There had previously been a roof at tached to the wall, but it had been taken away without in juring the strength of the wall. The foundation in which the deceased men were at work was above 16 feet from the wall, and had not the slightest connection with it. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Acci dental Death. On the 18th September, at a meeting of iron masters, a farther advance of bar-iron took pace of 20s. per ton. The lowest price at the Welsh works is now 9/. per ton.—Cambrian. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1837. BEFORE THE tOiiii UHAiIbELLOii. MAUBET V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMVANY Yesterday application was made to the Lord Chancellor, in his private room at the House of Lords, by Mr, Tor , rian9 ) on behalf of the ph:OntifiF, tiqo itkitiqction, to i.e.- tthilh ttie alone 'Company from taking possession of a poi tion of his land which was not required for the purposes of the railway, and also to restrain them from using a road which they had illegally made on his grounds. The Learned Gentleman was about to open his ease, when . . The LORD CHANCtUOII. ingtlirecl 110* the matter then came before him He was not aware of any appointment for that day, until he came into town. Mr. TORRIANO said the application wa3 made upon notice, _ Mr. Leon, who, with Mr. Pettifew, appeared for the Company, said it was upon notice certainly, but it was informal. Besides, there were two affidavits sworn in the cause, and they had only been filed that morning. The LORD CIIANCELLOR—Then it is clear that we can not go into the case to-day. Is the matter very pressing ? Mr. TORRIANO—Yes, my Lord. The case is this : The railway runs through our property, and cuts off a corner on which we have many ornamental trees. The Company has given us notice, which expires to-morrow, of their intention of taking that piece of land, for the purpose of using it for their materials and rubbish, which they c..n not do without spoiling our trees. We also seek to prevent them from using a road which they have forcibly made over our grounds. Mr. JACOB—Your notice to us does not say one word about the road. The LORD CHANCELLOR—AS I understand the matter the road has been made—then we have nothing to do with it. You have your remedy by an action of trespass. Mr. JACOB—My Lord, they have commenced their ac tion for trespass, and there is a Special Jury summoned for the 24th of the present month to assess the damages between the plaintiff and the Company. The LORD CHANCELLOR—The only question then is as to the right of the Company to take the corner piece of land. Does the Act give them such a power ? Mr. JACOB—Clearly, my Lord. I will refer your Lord ship to the 9th section, which says : " That for the purposes, and subject to the provisions and restrictions of this Act, it shall be lawful for the said Company, their agents and workmen, and all other persons by them authorized, and they are hereby empowered to enter into and upon the lands of any person or corporation whatsoever, and to survey and take levels of the same, or of any part thereof, and to set out and appropriate for tle purposes of this Act such parts thereof as they are by this Act empowered to take or use, and in or upon such lands, or any lands adjoining thereto, to bore, dig, cut, embank, and sough, and to remove or lay, and also to use, work, and manufacture any earth, stones, trees, gravel, or sand, or any other materials or things which may be dug or ob tained therein, or otherwise, in the execution of any of the powers of this Act, and which may be proper or necessary for making, maintaining, alterine) repairing, or using the said railways and other works," eo. And further, which is important here : And also to divert or alter the course of any rivers or streams of water, roads, or ways, or to raise or lower any such rivers or streams, Mach, Or days, ltt order the more conveniently to carry the same over or under, or by the side of the said railway, and to make drains or conduits into, through, or under any lands adjoining or near to the said railway, except houses or buildings, for the purpose of con veying water from or to th e said railway ; and also from time to time to alter, repair, or discontinue the before mentioned works, or any of them, and to substitute others in their stead, and generally to do and execute all other matters and things necessary or convenient for constructing, maistaining, altering, or repairing and using the said rail way and other works by this A c t authorized, they the said Company, their agents and workmen, doing as little damage as may be in the execution of the several powers to them hereby granted, and the said Company making full satis faction, in manner hereinafter mentioned, to all persons and corporations interested in any lands which shall be taken, used, or injured, for all damages by them sustained, in or by reason of the execution of all or any of the powers hereby granted ; and this Act shall he sufficient to indem nify the said Company, and all other persons for what they, or any of them, shall do, by virtue of the powers hereby' granted, subject, nevertheless to such provisions and restric tions as are hereinafter mentioned and contained." That dearly gives us the right to take the land in question, and also makes provision for full compensation. Then again the 30th section makes it clearer still, for it expressly provides for the case in question. It says— " Be it therefore enacted, that notwithstanding anything in this Act contained, it shall be lawful for the said Com pany, their agents and workmen, and they arc hereby em powered to enter upon the lands of any person or Corpo, ration whatsoever, adjoining or lying near to the said Rail way and other works by this Act authorized to be made and maintained, or any of them, or any part thereof, re spectively, for the purpose of laying, depositing, working, or manufacturing upon such lands, or upon any part thereof, respectively, any earth, clay, stones, bricks, slates, timber, lime, or other materials, or for forming temporary roads, or approaches to and from the said works, and also to make use of any existing roads, they, the said Com pany, their agents and workmen, doing as little damage as may be in the exercise of the several powers hereby granted to them, and making compensation for such tem porary occupation or temporary damage of the said lands, to the owners and occupiers thereoF, such compensation, in case the parties differ about the same, after tender thereof has been duly made by the said Company, to be settled and recovered in manner hereinbefore provided, in cases of disputes as to the value of lands through or upon which the said Railway and other works are intended to be made, and the compensation for any damage sustained by reason of the execution of any of the works by this Act au thorized." And then it provides for compensation, for which security must be given if demanded. Mr. TonßlANo—But I contend that neither of the clauses cited gives you power to cut down or destroy our trees. Now, my Lord, it is impossible for them to use our land in the manner they propose without utterly destroying our'ornamental trees, many of which are of 30 years' growth. the LORD CHANCELLOR—The Act gives them the power to take the soil—they must, therefore, take all that is on it. The Act certainly gives very large powers, but it also provides for ample compensation to the parties injured. I cannot grant an injunction here. Mr. JAcos—ls it dismissed with costs? This is the second time they have brought us here. TI e last time they dropped the proceedings at the very 'ast, rnd we come here now upon an imperfect notice. The LORD CHANCELLOR—But your appearing cures that. Let the matter stand over till the first day of term. The parties then withdrew. INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIg DAY.) (More the CHIEF COMMISSIONER and Mr. Commission% r HARRIS.) Thomas icetabould, who described himself as a General Commssion Agent, applied upon his petition to be dis &lat. , ° cd. The insolvent had been a bankrupt some years back, but had obtained his certificate, and he had also, in the year l E 32, taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. The insolvent was opposed in person by a wine merchant of the name of Lync, and was supported by Mr. Cooke. Ilis debts amounted in the aggregate to upwards of 21,000/., and his credits, with a set-off, were considerable, being nearly equal in amount. Mr. Lyne, it appeared, was a creditor for advances he had trade on consignments of wine ; his object in opposing the insolvent was not to prolong his imprisonment, but to quest:on him as to the nature of some bills of Exchange he held on an alleged fi m in the Borough ; he wished to know whether such persons were in existence or not. The insolvent declared that they were, and Mr. Lyne expressed himself satisfied. The insolvent further stated that the certificate under the bankruptcy had been left in New York, The COURT ordered the insolvent to be discharged. Advices from New Orleans of the latter end of August mention the expected daily arrival there of the 'rater Witch, with 150,000 dollars, from Tampico, to be followed by two or three other vessels with various amounts. Bills of lading have been received from New Orleans of the despatch of the St. James merchant vessel to London, with 60,000 dollars, and of the Glocester, with 40,000 dollars, for Liverpool. A letter from en intelligent mer chant to his correspondent here, whose opinions from his position as President of one of the specie-paying banks at New Orleans are entitled to respect, says, " You can form no idea of the injury that has been done to us by the sus pension of speck payments. It has been forced upon us by those who expected relief from the measure—the reverse has been the effect produced. The people will not consent to take irredeemable rags ; and our circulation, which in February last amounted to 8,000,000 dollars, does not to day exceed 4,000,000 dollars, and the contraction is going on. The banks will themselves be obliged to advance money on cotton to enable their debtors to pay them. Our imports last year amounted to about 198,000,000 dollars ; this year they will not reach the odd 98,000,000 dollars, including the fisheries. You will recollect, however, the United States are importers of luxuries chiefly, but our exports consist of articles of primary necessity for Europe.' The pecple of Chard having refused to pay a rate levied by the Town Council are thereby placed in a very curious predicament. The Municipal Act declares that no man can be on the Burgess-roll who has not paid the muni cipal rates up to the three months preceding the rqistra tion. The whole town is thus disfranchised. tOgryiEtiblAL lATtLtitot74l4cE; (THIS DAY.) The arrivals at the port of London are very slender, and amongst them arc neither East nor West India produce. There is a scanty a'ldltion Mule to the stock cf Russian Tel French silk. No Irish produce; cf any niornent i fresh tijh The mercantile markets present a very firm Pre,' securing a very fair business of a bone fide character, but still they arc not so lively as they were. The greatest quiet is now In those articles in which speculators have been operating ; their high pikes ofetent ptirchaseg from being made. A difterente brd ilhioti pfc4rails as to the quantity of Tea which will be put up at the approaching sales. Till the trade meet the matter will not be decided, and cannot till after that meetierr be accurately known. The ' ttaw Mugar market to-day was quiet, and prices as previously quoted, and firm. Refined sugar languid, and 335. the price for fine crushed. There is great quiet in the Tea and Coffee markets, but prices do not yield. All speculation in Spices is at a stand ; still speculators show no disposition to realise. They continue to look for things being higher. Indigo secures firmly the advance of ls. and Is. 2d. per lb. obtained on the July prices, but is not securing much business just now. _ _ _ At public sale to-day, a large parcel of Ceylon Coffee sold with tolerable spirit, at prices Is. to 2s. lower. FOREIGN COMMERCIAL. We had accounts yesterday afternoon from Hamburgh, but there was no alteration in the Coffee, Sugar, or Cotton trade ; prices are maintained, but very little doing. At St. Petersburgh Tallow was rather flat, and the quota tions for first quality Yellow Candle ranging from 103 to 106 rubles per 10 ponds; the sales of all kinds of Tallow, since our last intelligences, did not exceed 4,000 casks, which at this time of the year is very little. Inclusive the 21s: of September the arrivals to Cronstadt amounted to 956 vessels, and the departures to 814; the shipments of Tallow exceed considerably this year those of the corresponding period of last year. From the 18th inclusive the 22d September 13 vessels, loaded with tallow for London, and 7 with ditto for the out ports, have passed Elsineur. At Antwerp the market for Coffee is very firm. Sugar was in demand, and stiff prices obtained. Hides were sought after, but the stock of good qualities short, and the transac tions in consequence confined. In Rice and Potash nothing done. Tobacco quiet. At Havre, Cotton continued without any lively demand, but the prices Isere rather better sustained. Indigo went off at improving prices, and the sales during the latter days were rather considerable ; the stock there and at Bordeaux 6,200 chests. Tea secured a steady sale. Dyewoods were in de mand ; and lead very firm. At Cognac and neighbourhood the vintage has begun, and business in Brandy was suspended, under which circumstances the quotations:were nominal, and all export orders for the pre sent kept from the market, in anticipation of lower rates. From Bourdeaux and Montpellier the advices are the same, and all sales for forward delivery are lower than at the present nominal quotations. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

Extract of a letter from the agents to Lloyd's at Figueira, dated 19th September, 1837 :—" We have to announce the blockade of the ports of Caminha, Vianna, and Villa de Conde, by the naval forces of her most faithful Majesty, those ports being occupied by the military forces opposed to the Govern ment, and we anticipate the blockade of this port when the same forces approach this neighbourhood." The hull of a vessel, water-logged, and on her beam-ends (supposed to be the Cumberland, from St. Petersburg to Lan caster), but floating so deep in the water that her name could not be seen, has been towed into Armoyle, by her Majesty's cutter Diligence. The Harmonic, Galle, from New York, was on shore near the Capes 19th August. The Forentangunet, from Philadelphia to St. Übes, was on shore at Lewiston 22d August. D N 032 sBTEOAir SEPT.uf 1‘1 2 7 .— D EAR circumstanceA la Sulc t D occurred E.—CL 7re T s t O e day, which has thrown our beautiful village into a state of • the utmost agitation and excitement. It may not generally be known, that at nearly the summit of a cliff rising 300 feet above the surface of the river Avon, and which is commonly styled St. Vincent's Rock, there is a hole or nearly circular aperture extending 20 or 30 yards inward, and to which an underground passage has lately been ex cavated by the proprietor of the Clifton Observatory. About noon yesterday, an elderly gentleman, accompanied by a young and lovely female appeared at the door of the observatory, and requested to be admitted to the " Giant's Hole," as this cave is generally called. While one of the attendants went for a torch, which was to light them through the passage, the door-keeper observing that the gentleman seemed in a state of great excitement, muttering to himself in a low tone of voice, asked if he were not well, hinting that it might be better he should rest himself ere he ventured into the close air of the cavern. This inti mation was either not heard or not heeded ; but the lady said, " I am much obliged to you for your attention, but my husband is s u bj ec t t o these fits of absence." The torch bearer having performed his office, left them leaning over the balustrad e at the outer entrance of the cave, enjoying the view of the picturesque landscape on each side of them, and of the river rolling at their feet. What remains of this catastrophe can only be told by the people who were walk inz tinder the rocks at the time. They state that they saw a lady and gentleman leaning over the balustrade ; the gen tleman soon turned round, and could distinctly be per ceived using violent gestures to the lady, svho, terrified, sank to the ground, clinging to the railing ; they then saw him attempt to lift h er up by the waist, which she resisted, still holding fast to the iron rails, and uttering the most piercing screams. He at last succeeded in lifting her up to the top of the railing ; the people at the Observatory, hearing the cries, hastened to the scene, but not in time to save the victim ; be no sooner heard their footsteps than, with a jerk, he hurled her into the depths below ; for a moment he stead fastly regarded the body of the unfortunate lady as it whirled round in the air and fell upon the ground a dis figured mass, and then with a spring, and a demoniacal laugh at those who were on the point of seizing him, he Cleared the barrier betwixt hint and eternity ; but a just Providence ordained that he should suffer acutely for his double crime ; he fell upon a pointed pinnacle of a rock, and there, impaled and writhing, the %retched man hung for nearly a minut e ; gra d ua ll y hi s h e ld re laxed, his joints stiffened, and he fell heavily about ten yards from the body of his wife. Those who ran to the lady when she fell ou!y heard her repeat these words—" My God, I am inno cent." On inquiry it has been ascertained that they ar rived at the Gloucester Hotel the night before, from Lon don ; but all attempts to discover the name or address of the parties has proved abortive. MASDEIL—The French red wine, known by this name, appears to be getting fast into favour. By a parti cular statement which we have just seen of importations from June last year, to August this year, the quantity brought into London amounts to 1364 pipes, 4:30 hhds., and 276 quarter pipes, during that period, being the cargoes of seven vessels. NAGA ZINES. UIVII''EI3 5 , i?iliCE JOURNAL. There are many pleasant, refiAdhle papers in this Number; and among them we may single out the ac count of the " Expedition to Alexandria," and the " Voyage in a Convict Sidp i " ifthich last involves some cunoti§litittieulars. It is, we perceive, to be continued ; which we are glad of ; fin Mr. Cunningham's volumes on Australia, published a few yetvt. since, show that such a voyage may be rendered, by one who can ap preciate and pourtray character, uncommonly inte resting. " Sketches of Military Life in India" are tolerable—nothing more. They want vivacity of de tail. " A Sermon on Gambling" is a good idea, well worked out, though we fear it will not have the effect of reforming one Leg in London. We have no space for extracts, or we should subjoin a specimen of this ingenious discourse. THE SPORTSMAN. Our blithe and manly friend looks hale and well this month : the shooting of September does not ap pear to have weakened the energies or diminished the quality of the right good articles with which he monthly furnishes his guests, the readers of " The Sportsman." Without detracting from his great and universally acknowledged merits, as one who has long occupied the very 'best place with hounds, as well as in all the other varied accomplishments which go to make up the " Good old English Gentleman"—without wishing, we say, to find fault or be hypercritical, we must say, apart from Art, that the engraving of the Colonel is certainly not a good likeness of that beautiful animal, which, it will be recollected, was purchased by his late Majesty George the Fourth for the sum of 4,000 guineas. Nor do we think highly of the other engraving of the Antelope in India. There is a certain stiffness , in the animal occupying the foreground—a want of vitality in it, which it is retire justice to the clever artist, Beckwith, to admit is not characteristic of his general style of execution. The paper on the same subject, " Field Sports in Southern India," unfolds perhaps one of the most pleasing pages that we can open in this or any other pe riodical. With the observations on the " Exac tions of Strength and Speed" we fully concur. The anecdotes of " Poor Jack Mytton:' more gene rally and perhaps appropriately spoken of as Mad Mytton, are neither without interest or a valu able moral. He appears to have been the original of which a certain Irish Marquis, notorious for rows, is a vulgar copy. If poor Jack had kept pounds only, he would have been a country squire of respectable degree ; but much wealth and not a little consequent license maddened the man, as it may perhaps, if it have not already, the Marquis. In conclusion, we recommend the present Number as a capital companion, especially on a rainy day, to all our sporting friends— to all who eques canesque gaudent. PICKWICK PAPERS. No. XVIII. These clever sketches keep up with unabated spirit. The present series is quite as good as any of its pre decessors—indeed, better than some of them. The illustrations by Phiz, which are in the best comic spirit, give us no cause to lament the loss of Seymour. They are fully equal to any that he ever pourtrayed. FREEMASONS' QUARTERLY REVIEW. An able periodical, hut rather too restricted in its character. The .‘ Songs of Masonry" are the cle verest things in it. They are hit off in a light, piquant manner, with much tact, and evident rea diness. SUBURBAN GARDENER.-ARBORETUM BRITANA'ICUM. Two periodicals, devoted to horticultural subjects, and under the active•superintendence of Mr. Loudon, one of the most intelligent and indefatigable compilers of this sort of publications of the day. The engraving of the famous full-grown ash tree in Studley Park is very gracefully executed ; and the back = ground, though it be merely an outline, is not a little picturesque in its effect. STATISTICAL. JO URNAI. This is the first Number of a periodical which, as its name imports, is intended to be wholly of a practical character; it contains some useful and authentic par ticulars relative to the Corporation of London, derived from the late Report of the Commissioners on that subject. di SIA TIC JOURNAL. In the notice of the habits and manners of the " Caucasian Nations"—which, by-the-bye, is drawn up with much spirit—we find the following anecdote, which is curiously illustrative of the vindictive cite racter of some of these mountain tribes An IngoOsh robber was taken by the Russians, at the fort of Wrady-kavkas, on the right bank of the Terek, made to run the gauntlet and then released ; but he died of the effects of his punishment. His brother de termined on revenge, passed days and nights in tra versing the rocky country with his gun in his hand, to single out his victitA. A young officer inconsiderately left the place ; the Ingoosh shot him, and cut off his ears, which he carried to the tomb of his brother, and offered them, with certain ceremonies, to his manes. He killed eighteen other victims, and treated them in like manner, three of whom were officers." " A Day at Malacca" gives a graphic account of a visit paid to a Dutch family resident in that colony. Under the head " Asiatic Intelligence" there is a world of oriental information, which the Nabobs at Cheltenham, Lea mington and elsewhere, will be sure to devour with avidity. CABINET CYCLOP-EDIA. No. 93. Longman, London, 1837. The volume before us forms the seventh of the History of England, and is a continuation of Sir James Mackintosh's unfinished work. It is penned in an impartial spirit ; displays knowledge of character, especially in the portrait of Clarendon ; and gives a full and animated account of the disastrous reign of Charles the Second. THE CHURCHES OF LONDON. A cheap and useful work, neatly got up, and em bellished with two engravings. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. Simpkin and Marshall. The Rev. Blackthorn M'Flail's Autobiography is continued in this Number, and for genuine humour is by far the best article contained in it. An Irish christening is a ceremony to which the genius of a Milesian M'Fun could alone do ample justice. We speak from happy experience. The story of eastern life bears too close a resemblance to Byron's " Giaour," to be considered original in any respect. The " Classical Illustrations of Modern Opinions and Usages in Ireland" are curious and interesting. We wish to see them continued. The other articles are on subjects to which we can only passingly refer, as " The Battle of the Diamond," the ". War in Spain," Lockhart's Life of Scott," and some others of less general interest. Making due allowance for Tory politics, they are ail very ably treated in these pages. THE METROPOLI7'AN. The great Captain has made his appearance in the field this month, with a corps of contributors, veterans, and others of no Mean powers, and, whether we regard their amusing or instructive operations, we must say that their position is excellent, and the Number alto gether capital. There arc no less than eighteen papers, all possessing, in various forms, intich merit. So much, . . indeed, and so - general throughout the entire Metro ;Or ti n t, that to direct especial attention to one-paper inure then to another, would be an act of sorreihing very like unfairness to all the other writers. On this account, and for another also which our love of truth ] telling us to conceal, namely, a want of space, and especially a still greater want of time, we shall :'et enter - into any lengthened review of the present :'.:u:n bcr. We repeat that we have not time, and plead guilty to the crime of having been too delighted with our friend the Metropolitan. In this emergency — b roug ht about by the graces and good company of our metropolitan friends—what better can we do than to speak our honest opinion of their merits, less as critics than as readers, who really like both the sub jects and the mariner in which their authors have treated them. The Metropolitan for this month, we repeat, then, is a capital one. Tire following is an extract from a paper entitled " The Modern Meewnas; or, How to Live by Patronage :" • " The most distinguished Meetenas of modern times was, perhaps, Joscelyn Joyce. Poor Joscelyn! he is gone to his audit; and well may it fare with him.; for, notwith standing the murmurs of some of his disappointed prote ges, he was in many points a capital fellow. He was as fat as .Falstaff, and bore a strong resemblance to him in many other particulars. He sailed through life, gaily as a Lord, and more independently ; his time passed in gibing, jesting, (lining, quaffing, laughing, yet Joscelyn had neither inheritance, profession, or revenue cf any kind that any one knew of. In this particular he was more inscrutable than Beau Wilton or St. Leon. Those who were most in the secret, opined that Joscelyn lived by patronage, not how ever in the vulgar sense of that term—rot by receiving it, which experience proves to be poor work, but i e e conferring it. Certainly, no man ever possessed such a talent at per suading others of his vast power to serve them, nor did any candidate for public favour in any way ever converse wit!` him for ten minutes without being convinced that could lie but obtain Joscelyn's good word, he was a made man. Hence he had regular morning levees, crowded with solici tors of every description, and his portly figure, as be sailed about among them, looked like a whale among a shoal of herrings. Here were actors, artists, poets, projectors, can didates for Parliament, opera figurantes, meritorious young clergymen, tailors, tavern-keepers, and envoys from NCW.• gate and the hulks, all looking to Joscelyn as their guar dian angel. Nor is it to be inferred that he was a mere man of pretences : seven offenders he certainly saved from the extreme penalty of the law ; and not less than twenty tavern-keepers made their fortunes under his auspices ; what less could result from the patronage of a man who was never happy except when instituting clubs, and arrang ing revels ? whose object, it was to keep the world conti nually feasting, and to make life itself one great dinner? The ever open table which was emulously offered him by his grateful hosts, was surely but a slight recompense for such services. In the theatres, too, Joscelyn was poten tial ; 'forty pieces he introduced to the stage, and the only one of the lot which escaped damnation, was saved by an affecting appeal made by Joscelyn to the audience, from his usual station in a side box : to that box every debit taut looked anxiously for his encouraging nod, his bravo was decisive. "those of Joscelyn's clients who had least reason to be satisfied, were his metrical friends ; Joscelyn had unluckily the ambition to be a poet himself, not that he ever did or could write a line, but every one whom he knew or suspected of being able to do so, he plucked with out remorse into his service ; and he published a volume of poems by Joscelyn Joyce, Esq., the contents of which had been furnished by not less than fifty different contri butors. Never did any one book exhibit such an anoma lous combination—it was an absolute monster ! Here were amatory effusions in the style of Moore—here, hymns . after the manner of Dr. Watts—in one page was an imi tation of Young's Night Thoughts,' in another Joe Miller versified, and original compositions in • choice Italian,' figured away by the side of • stanzas' in very disputable English. The reviewers did not know what to make of it ; some laughed at the author, some called him mad, some praised the versatility of his genius, and Joscelyn marched about, happy in the unction of , publicity, and apparently with the most perfect conviction that he bad ;written every line of the book himself. On one occasion a detached poem, published by him, on a popular subject, procured him an introduction at Carlton House ; Joscelyn was pro digiously aristocratical, and his exultation may be ima gined ; he hastened back to his friend who bad really writ ten the poem, made the most fervent acknowledgments (for he was no: incapable of gratitude), but hinted, that as this introduction had given him a new rank in society, their intimacy must in future be conducted on less familiar terms. Yet, amidst all these absurdities, no man had a quicker. perception of the ridiculous in others than Joscelyn. " Joscelyn's resemblance to Falstaff was modified, in some particulars, by the advanced civilization of the age in which he lived. He had an intense passion for the fine arts, and, with commensurate means, we really think, would have been a munificent encourager of them. As it was; he felt that a collection of pictures was necessary to his happiness, and he was satisfied to get one in the best way be could. We have heard of individuals possessed of such astonishing finesse as to be able to outmanoeuvre a horse-dealer ; Joscelyn's dexterity far surpassed theirs, he actually out witted the picture-dealers, and his walls were decorated with chef d'cenvres of the various schools presented him by individuals of that worthy fraternity. Artists were his re gular quarry, particularly the younger class of them. No sooner bad one of those aspirants began to make an im pression on the public, than Jocelyn pounced on, and plucked him with the celerity of a hawk. His processes of cajollery were original and inimitable ; his usual mode was, in the first instance, to humiliate his man by criticisms and inuendoes disparaging to his talents, then, when he had lowered him to th proper point, be would suddenly wheel round, and pour in such a dose of exhilirating pane- gyrie, that the astonished practitioner, bewildered by con flicting emotions, and happy to escape from a disagreeable to an agreeable impression, willingly gave him anything he asked for." LONDON AND EDINBURGH PHILOSOPHI- CAL MAGAZINE. B. Taylor, Red Lion court. We have only had time to cast a very hasty glance over the October Number of this periodical ; but it appears to keep pace in talent and variety with its pre decessors. Several of the papers commenced in the last Number are continued in the present with equal ability. We were somewhat amused by a paper from the pen of Mr. Beke " on the Com plexion of the ancient Egyptians," in which the learned author attempts to reconcile the statement of Herodo tus, that the Egyptians were black, with the inferen tial facts of Scripture, which lead to a contrary conclu sion. Mr. Beke's key to unlock this difficulty is tl e hypothesis of two distinct races existing at different peliods. His reasoning does not appear to us very satisfactory. C11R1.57.7.4.N REFORMER. SherLcool and Ca. " Notes on Fusssages of Scripture" are resumed in the Number before us, and will well repay perusal. " On the authority of Solomon's Song," from the lien of Dr. Pye Smith, is well reasoned. The Rev. Doctor denies the authenticity of this singular composition— perhaps we should rather say that Ile denies its right to be admitted into the Canon of i n ired writings. We are much pleased with the remarks on the charac ters of the most eminent British Statesmen o.c the last and present age, which are contained. in the paper entitled " Corrupting influence of Toryism." In the " Minor Correspondence" the reader will find several articles of interest ; and the " D otoestie Intelligence" is as usual copious and well arranged. At the Wandsworth Petty Sessions yesterday, after several cases of minor importance had been disposed of, the magistrates were occupied in investigating the partict&ra of an alleged robbery that had appeared in several of the morning papers, stated to have been committed by a police man at the house of a Mr. Constable, at Battersea. Mr. Bignell, the superintendent of police, waited upon the ma gistrates to inform them that no robbery of the kind men tioned had taken place within the distr:ct e l uded to, and from the most minute inquiries which he haJ no robbery had occurred at all. The report was one, he said,- Calculated materially to injure the chanxter of the plied force in the public estimation, and he trusted that the diur nal press would use the same means in giving the contra diction publicity as they had made use of in first publishing the report. The magistrates expressed themsek es pleased to. hear that an atrocity of the above daring nature had not been committed by any of the police force, and conettrrin in Mr. Bignell's observations, the session was adjourned. On Friday afternoon Mr. E. Davies, stond' mason, fell from the roof of the Shrewsbury Abbey Church on to the ground, and was kiiled on the spot.—Salopiati Journal. TRING, HF,IITS.—This little town 13 at present visited by a terrible scourge in the s'oetpc of an epidemic fe ver, which is daily sending its victims to that " bourne from whence no travellers return." The aillieted are principally amongst the poor and ill-fed.
