IRELAND. DUBLIN, .115: u. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH—JOHN GZ)BE JONES v. WILLIAM LENNQX CUNNING:O.M AND OTHERS.—This insporto.ut trial catne on last *Friday, before Mr. Justice Craaipton and tispeeial jury, and had not terminated at three o'clock to=day. It will be recollected that it is An a:tion in a eaie for libel, which it was alleged VS'A4 contained in a requisition addressed by the defendants to Lord Gar vagh, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Londonderry—aod iu certain resolutions entered into by the defendants, Ye :fleeting on the character of Mr. Jones. Damages were laid at 2,0001. The defendants put in ten pleas-Ist, The leneral issue ; 2dly, A pin of justification, on the Rtvokitni that the plaintiff's ev;:lence before the. Committee of the douse of Commons was false. The other pleaS were mostly lens of justification. The Pilot, in alluding to the trial, says—" How the crdict ought to be, if decided by its merits, we have our pinion ; how public opinion anticipates it will - be, is vvi lent from this, that from the morcent the jury was declared —without knowing the case, and before the trial was pro eeded in—bets of four and five to one were offered that be defendants would have the verdict. We trust, and zre ;till bound to, believe, the jury will not justify the bad opi ;ion of the public. ATTEMPT TO REPEAL THE REFORM BILL.—Tim extra ndicii opinien—fir it is no decision—said to have been •iven by a numcrical—but not prepouderating—majority ,f the judges—that the Reform Bill should be repealed, las been a subject of astonishment to all the lawyers, and •eqnires the stimulated activity of the people to counter •ct the malignant influence it would have in virtually re ,ealing the Reform B;11, and rendering Irish judges the real aw makers, beeause the arbitrary and far-fetched interprc ers of law. The attempt to cause the oath of qualification or an elector to be put according to the Act of 10th George 'he IV., thereby repealing the Reform Act, passed in the veign of William, calls for a more than ordinary de mand of the country to cause the Government to nake the Reform Bill, as passed by the Legislature, and :on the pri nc ipl es so l emn l y recognised by those who trained it—the law of the land, and not have the rights of the people, and the privileges of the Legislature super aeded by a few very fallible old Irish Judges, some of whom may never have known law, and others have so long been out of practice that they may have forgotten what •ver they did know. We call it an "attempt" to re leal the Reform Bill, for such declaration is very far ndeed from effecting the purpose. Before this question ow all others sink into insignificance. It is the question ,f whether we hare a Reform Bill er not? Whether the ,eople hare privileges or not ? Whether judges can su mrsede the Legislature ? We can happily arraign the tonstruction of law the more freely and consistently with our respect for the station of those eminent personages, be !ause the decision was extra-judicial, and therefore more , pen to be questioned, and less necessary to be implicitly 'beved, The assistant-barristers will of course be as free 70 exercise their legal discretion in administering the oath :s they were before. They may respect 'the authority ,f men in the high station of judge, but it is not despotic ,ver their own opinions. A judge may be fallible, but an assistant-barrister may be fully as competent to form an opi lion as a judge. Let us suppose a case. Jackson was an assistant-barrister—it was considered a very large reward 'or his very small abilities. He has since lied by the yard or for the Tories, and of course, should they come to power ',which they won't), he has qualified himself to be a Tory judge. Well, we bring this forward as an illustration, that the same man, with the same mind and knowledge, may fill both offices. As a judge, he will be equally fallible as when t chairman ; but as the latter he would not be therefore less fallible. But even if the authority of the judges ought to guide implicitly barristers of Sessions, they have it. The balance of authority, net numerical indeed, bet " learned in the law," is with the construction which would preserve the integrity of the Reform Bill. The Mail said, that 3f course, the two judges who ruled with the Reform Bill were Messrs. Richards and Perrin. We should have-been much surprised, from the high character of these functionaries, if they did not. But there were five who ;o ruled, and we have the pleasure of doing honour to the 4ueen's Bench by stating that the whole of that Bench orms a portion of that five, ar.d is with the Constitution as 'ramed by the Reform Bill. We shall now put our own avourites out of the question ; but let the Tories put, if (hey can, any of their pet judges on this occasion in com retion with the Chief Justice and Judge Burton. The opi lions of these men, who cannot, too, have partialities for :he Reform Bill, are worth a score of men who never had :nown law, or have forgotten what they had. The Com non Pleas has been a long time a sinecure, and the hands If those learned functionaries may well be out of practice. On the whole, we think the assistant-barristers will be in dined to decide the law still in conformity with the opinion if the Legislature, and not that of a portion of the Bench rho—unintentionally, of course—would supersede its acts. —Pilot. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. AMSTERDAM, JUNE W.—His Majesty has given a gold : medal of the value of tvrenty-five ducats, accompanied with i commendatory certificate to Captain G. A.

We have received Java Journals to the 22d of February.

The adherents of Don Carlos are sure of his ti iumph, in which letters from Spain confirm them. They say that they have information that a distinguished foreign : (-Meer of the staff of Don Sebastian directs the operations, -e 1: ,which accounts f or the un i ty of system since he has been there. Sh ou ld the Infante: ex p er i ence some tr ifl ing reverses, ,i,..it is not to be suppose'A that they can d o hi m muc h i n j ury in , the position he l eas taken, wh ereas ever y a d vantage, s'jhowever small, will be of incalculable benefit, by con firming the co urage of his partisans. Spaniards continue 0.:Vo arrive here to seek a peaceful exile far from the horrors of civil war that afflict their own country. Many mean to settle here ; others are obliged to follow for a live lihood some occupation much below their rank. The Go ,. vernment at Mad r id g i ves b ut a very scanty allowance to , -j ri..he few persons attached to the Legation here. These persons have long since ceased to be looked upon by the Government as members of a Legation, and are regarded as private individuals.

Her Majesty returned a gracious answer to the Addrette,. and the Deputation retired. The Queen then received all the Ambassadors and Mi nisters from Foreign Courts accredited to the late King. Their Excellencies appeared in their respective uniforms, those who are members of Orders of Knighthood wearing their several Ensigns. There were present Prince Ester hazy, the Austrian Ambassador ; Count Pozzo di Borgo, Russian Ambassador ; Count Sebastiani, French Ambas sador ; Reshid Bev Ottoman Ambassador, accompanied by Mr. Salame, her Majesty's Oriental Interpreter; Count Ludolf,ll, )e Neapolitan Minister; Baron Bulow, the Prus sian Minister ; Count Bjornstjerna, the Swedish Minister ; Count Mandesloh, the Wirtomberg Minister ; Mr. Van de Weyer, the Belgian Minister ; Baron Biome, the Danish Minister ; M. Tricoupi, the Grecian Minister ; Baron de Cetto, the Bavarian Minister ; Mr. Dedel, the Netherland Minister ; Mr. Galvao, the Brazilian Minister ; Mr. Ste venson, the United States Minister ; Chevalier de Aguilar, the Spanish Minister; Baron Gersdorff, the Saxon Minister. Their Excellencies had their first audiences of the Quen and were respectively introduced by Viscount Palmerston, her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs, and conducted by Sir Robert Chester, Master of the Ceremonies. His Excellency the French Ambassador presented his new credentials to the Queen. The Earl of Durham, his late Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Empe ror of all the Russias, was Knighted by the Queen with the Sword of State, and was invested by her Majesty with the ensigns of Knight Grind Cross of the most Honourable Military Order of the Bath. Sir William Woods (Claren ceaux King of Arms), Deputy Registrar and Secretary of the Order, and Mr. Martins, Gentleman Usher to the Sword of State, assisted at the ceremony. The Queen was attended by the Marchioness of Lans downe, Col. Cavendish, Equerry, and the Dean of Here ford, Deputy Clerk of the Closet, were is waiting. Her Majesty gave audience yesterday to the Earl o . Durham. • Mr. O'Connell and a deputation had an interview with Viscount Melbourne yesterday, in Downing-street. Sir Wm. Doveton, Sir James Rivett Carnac, Dr. Shan non, and Mr. Gruntrce, had interviews with Lord Glenelg yesterday, at the Colonial Office. Mr. Scholefield and a deputation had an interview with Viscount Melbourne yesterday. WINDSOR, Tuesday morning.—Everything re mains here in the same state. The hurried visit paid to the Castle by her Majesty yesterday, and hei sudden departure, have given rise to a good deal of conversation. The Queen's carriage was ordered so suddenly, that the servants had not time to prepare it before the horses were ordered to be put to. The Queen Dowager's health is far from satisfactory, and her physicians were of opinion that it would have been advisa ble for her to have removed immediately after the decease of his Majesty ; but she appeared so dreadfully excited that they feared the addititional excitement that would be occasioned by the removal might lead to the most serious consequences. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager will, however, leave the Castle immediately after the funeral. The Earl of Yarborough has arrived at his seat, Appuldurcombe, Isle of Wight. The Earl of' Fitzwilliam has returned to Mortimer House, from a visit to his daughter-in-law, Viscountess Mil ton, at Bognor. Lord and Lady Dunalley arrived late last evening at Mivart's Hotel, from Ireland, His Lordship has purchased a beautiful villa on the banks of the Thames, a short distance 'from Twickenham. The Earl and Countess of' Mulgrave and suite ar rived on Monday evening at the Clarendon Hotcl,lrom Dub lin Castle, where his Excellency's authority is delegated during his absence to the Commander of the Forces, the Lord Chancellor, and the Lord Chief Justice. The Noble Lord- Lieutenant had an audience of her Majesty to deliver up the seals of office. The Duke and Duchess of Tuecicugh and family left Montagu House yesterday, for their delightful villa above Richmond-bridge. The Earl and Countess of Cawdor, Mr. and Lady Caroline Lascelles also proceeded from town to visit their (graces, who have been again placed in mourning by the decease of the Marquis of Bath, eldest surviving brother of the Duchess. The Marquis of Granby has left town to canvass the electors of Cambridgeshire, for which county the Noble Marquis has declared himself a candidate, at the approaching general election. - The accomplished daughter of the Earl of -Ilehes ter, Lady Theresa Strangways, was united last Tuesday to Mr. Edward Digby, the eldest son of Sir Henry Digby and Viscountess Andover. Mr. Mansfield, a gentleman of large property re siding near Manchester, was married yesterday morning, at St. George's Church, Ilanovcr-square, to Miss Rice, eldest daughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mori had his second concert at the King's Theatre yesterday—an overflow in good music, and good attendance. Most of the favourite pieces of the season were given by the chief Italian singers. Thalberg, and little Mademoiselle Mi lanolo contribute to its instrumental attractions. A quartet of Czerny for four pidnolortcs, played by Thalherg, Madame Dulcken, Benedict, and Rosenhain, was the chief novelty of the entertainment, and was greatly applauded. COAT, HOLE TAVERN, STRAND.—This old esta blished and highly respectable place of public amusement con tinues to draw from all quarters. It is crowded every night by Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, we need hardly say, evince the highest gratification from the well conducted and unri valled convivial meetings. The singing is, as it always has been, of the first order. The wines and spirits are of the choicest quality. Monday, the sth instant, the Rev. Henry North, Rector of Great Ringstead, Norfolk, stopped at the Castle Inn, Downham Market, in order to take coach to London next morning, but found himself tco unwell to travel further ; and, becoming daily and hourly worse, he ultimately resi g ned his breath at the s a id i nn on t h e S atur d a y f o ll ow i ng, in his 5001 year. THE ENGLISHMAN IN AM ERlCA.—There'S no richer sight that I know of than to see an Englishman when he first lands in one of our great cities. He swells out as big as a balloon, his skin is ready to burst with wind—a regular walk ing bag of gas ; and he prances over the pavement like a bear over hot iron—a great awkward hulk of a feller (for they aint to be compared to the French in manners), a smirkin at you, as much as to say, " look here, Jonathan, here's an English. man ; here's a boy that's got blood as pure as a Norman pirate, and lots of the blunt of both kinds, a pocket full of one, and a mouthful of tother ; beant he lovely ?" and then he locks as fierce as a tiger, as much as to say " say boo to a goose, if you dare."— The Clochmaker. An English sailor observing some slaves marched down to the quay to be freighted to New Orleans slave mar ket, said to his companion, " I say, Jim, if the Devil don't catch them ere fellows as drives them poor creatures along, it's no use having a Devil, that's all." Nothing can be more prejudicial to tender consti tutions or studious and contemplative persons, than lying long in bed after one is distinctly awake, or has slept a due and reasonable time ; it necessarily thickens the juices, enervates the solids, and weakens the constitution. A free open air is a kind of cold bath, especially after arising out of a warm bed, and consequently makes the circulation brisker and more complete, and braces up the solids,,which lying in bed dis solves and soaks in moisture. The erect posture, and the activity of watching, make the perspiration more plentiful, and the gross evacuations more readily thrown off. This is evi dent from the appetite and hunger those that rise early feel, beyond that which they get by lying long in bed. Add to all these the influence of the fresh benign morning air—the re treating of all the noxious damps and vapours of the night, together with the clouds and heaviness that are thrown upon the brain from sleep ; and, lastly, that cheerfulness and ala crity that is felt by the approach or presence of the glorious luminary the sun, which adds a true force to the heart, and gives a spur to tho lagging and jaded spirits.—Cheyne on Health. We understand that great apprehensions are enter tained for the sloop, Vicwly Hill, belonging to this port, which was freighted with corn from Woodbridge to Goole. It is now five weeks since she sailed, and she has not since been heard of. It is supposed she has been run down by atteamer or some large vessel. The Magdalena, one of the finest brigs in our river, about which similar fears were entertained are now reduced to a certainty. On Wednesday last a letter was received, stating that the stern of her boat had been picked up off the coast of Rye, in Sussex. She was last heard of on Christmas-day, when it was expected she would have set sail from Helvoetsluys for London, to which port she was hound with a general cargo. It is . supposed she foundered during the tremendous snow storm of that week. The crew consisted of five young single men, one married man, J. Carrington, leaving a wife and four young children, and the captain, Howard John Leach, son of one of the owners, who was universally re spected. We learn she was uninsured, and belonged to Messrs. Leech and T. and R. Duningham. On Saturday last the Frankfort, another fine brig, went ashore at Walcot Gap, near North Walsham ; her crew were saved ; she was laden with coals and 400 firkins of butter, which have been saved without damage. Her owner is Captain J. Norman, and we believe she is insured. We since learn that she has been got off._ Ipswich Journal. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1837. In the House of Lords almost the entire sitting yes terday was consumed by an incidental discussion on the merits of the new Poor-law. A petition having been pre sented from the West Ridine. of York against that Act by the Earl of STANHOPE, the Noble Lord took occasion to censure strongly its provisions, and loudly to denounce its advocates. It will be seen, however, that the violent lan guage of Earl STANHOPE and the unmeasured censure which he heaped upon this wholesome and all but universally acknowledged beneficial Act of the Legislature, was not unat tended with advantage, since it elicited from other Noble Lords evidence the most conclusive and satisfactory corro borative of the fact that the Poor-law Amendment Act works well wherever it has been brought into operation. In the House of Commons, the Bolton and Preston Rail way Bill was read a third time, and passed. A Conference was agreed to with the Lords, and after- wards was held on the subject of, the amendments made by them on the Municipal Corporations Act Amendment Bill. Mr. TENNENT announced that it was not his intention to proceed with the Bill for dissolving the Agricultural Bank, which stood for second reading that evening. The QUEEN'S Answer to the Address was brought up. Her MAJESTY therein declares that it will be the study of her life to preserve the liberties, and to maintain the glory of this great country. The Forgery Bill—which is calculated, according to the inquiries made by Lord .1. RUSSELL in the metropolis, to afford an increased security against forgery—was ordered to be read a third time on Friday next. A discussion, fol lowed by a division, took place on the Clause 2 of the Of fences against Person Bill. The clauses were all gone through, and the Report was ordered to be received this day. The Earl and Countess of MULGRAVE arrived at the Clarendon Hotel on Monday evening from Dub lin Castle. His Lordship had yesterday the honour of an audience with her MAJESTY at Kensington Palace. We were happy to see his Ecellency in the House of Lords yesterday afternoon looking in the best health and spirits. He was cordially welcomed by a great number of Peers. He did not take his scat, not hav ing been in time to take the oaths which must be ad ministered before Four o'Clock. We understand that the Tory candidate for the Haddington district of boroughs has not - the slightest chance against Mr. STEUART, the present Liberal Member ; nor is it likely that the MAITL A NDS, who, previous to the passing of the Reform Bill, possessed the entire command of those burghs, would have given way to an unknown candidate, like Sir J. HEP BURN, if there had been any prospect of the success of a man of their own political opinions. It is evident he is merely made a cat's-paw of to produce an expensive contest, without a shadow or prospect of suc cess. Meetings have been held in all the boroughs, and the electors have formed themselves into Committees, to secure the return of Mr. STEUART ; this has been unnecessary in North Berwick, where a unanimous requisition has been signed and forwarded to Mr. STEUART, caring upon him to stand again. The Earl of STANHOPE, a noblemen who has been unfortunately successful in a variety of attempts to obtain distinction, signalised himself last night among his compeers by a furious onslaught upon the New Poor Law. The Noble Earl has, it seems, not been attending his duties in Parliament for some years —an important fact, of which, to our shame be it-spoken, we were till now ignorant—and, as a matter of course, commenced his—in a certain degree—maiden sp eec h, by explaining the cause of an absence so calami tous to the public interests. His Lordship con ceived that sufficient deference was not paid to his opinions by the House, and therefore he retired " in disgust" from public life I Such is the reason assigned for Earl STANHOPE'S withdrawing his emi nent talents from the public stock. What has induced him, then, perhaps the curious may inquire, to resum e his place in the hereditary assembly of legislators at this moment when Parliament is almost in the p angs of dissolution ? This very natural question the Noble Lord has anticipated by declaring with due solem n ity, that " he should not have been induced to return to that House, had he not been desired to do so by a large body of his countrymen, whose rights and whose inte rests he:vvas anxious to defend." How, indeed, could the Earl of STANHOPE know, or even surmise, that he could defend the rights of his countrymen until they told him so? Such knowledge comes not by intuition : neither is it the result of study and reflection—it must be imparted from without. Be that as it may, it i s not our business to discuss the validity of the reason, thankful as-we are that such a man as Lord STAN HOPE has found a plea for resuming those public duties which few know how to discharge as he does. The task assigned to the Noble Lord last night was to present a petition f rom th e i n h a bit a nts of the West ' sliding of l'oikshire i and .to ahtiSe th , 3 New Poor Of both these citifies h actinitted pc4ol - aled a zeal and heartiness—it s not with a cliscreiii36-=-7-iliiidi qifies the selection pf the Noble Lord as the mouth=piece of these who cannot themselves rail iiih All tile tibjectidits Which have heel a thousand times" made and a diddSaiid all the misrepresentations which interested maleiidz lence has circulated, and which no man who is not alike ignorant of the provisions of the law and of its actual working, could for a moment g ive heed to—all these are raked together and 7;erved up to the House of Lords, by Earl STANIIOIIE j as if they were things that had never been heard of before—exactly as if the Noble Lord and his new Poor-law grievances had dropt from the clouds together, to astonish and take captive the minds of men. It must be particularly gratifying to the friends of the poor, who are the part of the community most in terested in the maintenance of the new law, to find that the sentiments expressed by the Noble Lord found no echo in the House of Lords. Not a single voice was raised in unison with his. Even Lord WYNFORD, who has from the first been perhaps the most strenu ous opponent of the new system, expressed his grati fication at the success which, contrary to his expecta tion, had attended the measure, although there were some things in it of which he could not even now ap prove. Now we would ask whether it was to be ex pected that a measure which professed to apply an experimental remedy to the greatest and most complicated evil that ever oppressed a country, was to start out at once into full and absolute perfection ? This may be expected by him who believes that MI NERVA sprung armed at all points from the head of JUPITER, but by no more sane person. Yet this fault of non-perfection, as we may call it, is the great and only sin of the Poor Law Amendment Act. And who are they that bring the charge ? Whence come the complaints against the law, which are so diligently dinned into the public ear by a small ael scampish portion of the Press ? Do they come from those dis tricts where the new system has been tried ? No ; it is from those who have only heard a rumour of the Poor Law, but who have never seen or felt its operation, that the clamour proceeds. In every district where a fair trial has been given it, the most beneficial consequences have resulted. And when we say this we do not allude to the diminution in the expense of maintaining the poor—for that is the least important part of the benefit ; but to the im provement in their moral condition which has taken place—an improvement so marked and decided, that it would previously have been deemed altogether im possible in so short time. This is the testimony borne to its merits by every man who has taken the trouble to look with his own eyes into its working, and whose party feelings do not rise up and choke the truth. Hear what the Marquis of TAVISTOCK stated last night in his place on this point. Before the introduction of the new law into that part of the country in which the Noble Marquis resides, and exercises the duties of a magistrate, " poverty was on the increase, and discontent and agitation keeping pace with it, and it was absolutely necessary to have night watches set for the security " . or property. That state of things no longer existed ; they had had, he thanked GOD, a very pleasant change—(Cheers)— and so great was the alteration which the new system of administering the Poor-law had produced among all classes, that he could hardly believe himself to be living among the same people.—( Renewed cheer ing.) There was no longer any want of employ ment—(Hear, hear)—it gave every one satisfaction, and night watches . were universally abolished.— (Cheers.) The labouring poor were well off and con tented, and were becoming well disposed towards their employers, and respectful in their demeanour towards all their superiors ; at least they did not regard them as formerly, in the light of enemies and oppressors. He was in the habit of addressing their Lord ships on party questions, but he felt that he was bound to express his opinions upon this measure, and in declaring what his opinions were he was persuaded that he spoke the sentiments of all classes among his neighbours who had seen the working of the two systems, and had experienced the blessings of the change which had been made. For that change they felt that they were greatly in debted to the authors of the measure, and especially to his Noble and Learned Friend near him (Lord BROUGHAM) : nor did they forget their obligations to the Noble and Gallant Duke opposite—(Cheers)— who, in the truly useful and patriotic manner which had done him so much honour, had given his testi mony in favour of this invaluable and much calum niated measure.—(Hear, hear.)" Advices from Madrid to the 20th inst., received to day, announce a rise of 3 per cent. in the funds, in consequence of Baron DE M EEit's victory at Guisona. The inhabitants decreed themselves a holydav for the celebration of the Baron's success. Dutch and German papers of the latest dates have been received, from which extracts will be found in another part of The Sun. The Paris .Journals of Monday have all been re ceived. Their contents are very unimportant. The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic commu nication from the Spanish frontier, together with the despatches with appeared in yesterday's Sun : " NARII&NNE, JUNE 24, FOUR O'CLOCK, A.M. " PERPIGNAN, Jurra.23 (in the Evening). " Borges is at Orama, and Ros d'Eroles at Oliana, raising rations. " Seven hundred infantry and seventy cavalry, with two pieces of artillery, commanded by the Christino Brigadier Osorio, evacuated,Berga in the night, and arrived at Puy cerda in the evening of the 22d." The Sentinelle des Pyrenees states that ZARIATE- Gm's expedition has re-crossed the Ebro, and is now in the neighbourhood of Estella. The reception the Carlist free-bopters met with on the right hand of the river, was by no means such as they had expected ; and as they were not in a condition to penetrate into Old Castile, they returned as quickly as they went to their old haunts in Navarre. The same journal states that on the Nth -CABRERA raised the siege of Caspe, having previously pillaged aid set fire to that part of the - town of which the insurgents had made themselves masters. Before the flames had done• much mischief, General ORAA arrived at the head of his division, and— by prompt attention—succeeded in extinguishing them. After the defeat of the Carlists at. Guisona some of them were driven to take refuge on the French frontier, when they yielded up their arms, and , were conveyed into the interior. As a further proof of the little enthusiasm that is now felt among the Spanish peasantry respecting the success of Don CARLOS, the Sentinelle states that sixteen Carlist officers who had gone into Asturias and Galicia, on a recruiting expedi tiofi, returned a few days since to Estella, without having been able to prevail upon a single individual to join them I The French journals are still engaged discussing the never-ending subject of plots and conspiracies for the overthrow of the Orleans dynasty. It were wiser policy on the part of the friends of the Government to put a stop to the discussion of such surmises by amending the law for the repression of treasonable offences. The Duke de BROGLIE, General ATIIALIN, and Count FLAIIAUT, were severally spoken of as candi dates for the honour of bearing to her Majesty the `Queen of ENGLAND the congratulations of the King of the FRENCH on her accession to the Throne of , fhe a tenlms• ritENCH FUNDS.—PARts.

We are €'lad to see that a more tolerant and en lightened spirit of criticism and enquiry is finding its way into the pages of this Journal, which though always vigorous and acute, and occasionally eloquent, was far too much characterized by quaint, crochetty fancies ; pedantic arrogance, attempting to disguise itself under the mask of independence ; and a constant enforcement of the tritest matters of fact, just as though they were discoveries in ethics, politics, and jurisprudence, the promulgation of which was abso lutely essential to the welfare of society. Hitherto, the London and Westminster Review has been too much the organ of a coterie. It now takes—judging at least from the specimen before us —a wider range, comment ing on matters of general, rather than of individual interest. It can now afford to discover that the works of Gray are worthy of something more than a brief, sneering allusion ; that he was a poet, even though he never happened to hear of Utilitarianism ; and a sound scholar, albeit he was chiefly devoted to the study of the tongues of Greece and Rome. In like manner it can find many redeeming excellencies in the Pickwick Papers, even though they " prove nothing ;" and much blended humour, fancy and pathos in the Essays of Charles Lamb, notwithstanding that no modern author ever held the doctrines of Political Economy in greater contempt. This is an auspicious sign, and proves that the conductors of the London and West minster Review have at length discovered that no Journal devoted to the service of a mere coterie, ever yet attained a permanent rank in literature. The first article in the present Number—that on Gray—is written in a calm, thoughtful, eloquent spirit, and would do no discredit to the pen of Mr. Bulwer, of whose manner, in the " Student," it frequently re minds us. The cursory remarks on Burns which in troduce the criticism, show infinite discrimination, especially where the Reviewer observes that he " is one of the most correct poets that the world ever knew"—" a poet for critics, whose songs, which seem to gush so spontaneously from the fervid heart of the writer, would furnish the severest lec turer with his happiest illustrations of classical concinnity and completeness." This is acutely ob served, though it will give a serious shock to common place, whose favourite notion of the " classical " is that it is a something cold, and elaborate, arid formal, that holds nature and feeling at arm's length. Burns is a classic writer, for precisely the same reason that Gray, particularly in his Odes, is the reverse ; because he paints from the life, and draws his golden thoughts from the overflowing treasury of his own heart ; whereas the other trusts less to his own impulses, than to his recollections of preceding writers ; consequently, despite his scrupulous attention to finish, he is ever falling into inaccuracies. In his scenic descriptions, Gray always smells of the lamp ; there is neither truth nor freshness in his images ; but he had a melancholy and contemplative temperament, and when he gives fair play to its suggestions—as in his " Elegy " and " Ode on Eton College " there is no poet of the eighteenth century, not even Collins, that can be put into competition with him. But he should not have aspired to the Pindaric laurel. He had none of the " fine phrenzy," the rush and stir of thought and feeling, that characterize the odes of the Greek poet ; he was stilted, not sublime, and lashed himself into fury with a deliberate doggedness of pur pose that at times is quite ridiculous. One single image in Pindar—that, we mean, where speaking in praise of a certain monarch (Hiero we think it is, but have not the volume by us to refer to), he describes him as x,F4-ac AFrzy aro IraT2%•-•-• is worth all Gray's Pindarics put together. We agree with the Reviewer in his estimate of Gray's prose. It is indeed delightfully natural, graceful in its hu• mour, and full of the truest and gentlest touches a feeling. The " French Revolution," which is a notice of Mr. Carlyle's late fantastic rhapsody on this subject, is an ingenious attempt to explain the unintelligible— in short, to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. We have no notion of history being written in a spirit of imagination and sensibility. It is its province to sift facts ; to come coolly to conclusions drawn from rational premises ; to enquire—compare—combine ; and to discuss human character as it pre sents itself to the lynx eye of investigation ; not as it affects the mere fancy. Had Dr. Lingard been like Carlyle, a dreamy enthusiast, and penned his great work in the spirit here recommended by the Reviewer, what a History of England he would have given us ! At least ten more volumes on the same subject would have been requisite to correct the defects induced by his heated imagination. To write history, is to under take a task of great trust and responsibility, that is to benefit, or be detrimental to, the intellectual interests of millions yet unborn ; wherefore we would no more think of consigning it into the hands of a poet ; than e would consign to him a fifty pound note in the ex pectation of ever having it repaid. " Concerts and Operas," contains many sound and pertinent observations, but is not sufficiently definite in its object. We cannot gather from it whether the Re viewer is favourable or otherwise to our modern mu sical institutions, with the single exception of the "An cient Concerts," which he condemns without mercy. Alluding cursorily to Bishop, he talks of his " clever musical pieces," just as if he had never composed any thing that required more than ordinary ability ! Now this is over harsh, for the air " As it fell upon a day," in the brilliant variety and grace of its melody, is fully equal to the best of Rossini's. We grant that. Bishop is occasionally careless and careless too in critical places—but surely he is something better than a mere " clever" composer I Again, the Reviewer sneers at Arne's " over-praised Artaxerxes ;" forgetting apparently that in that opera is the delicious little air " In infancy our hopes and fears," which breathes throughout the very soul of pathos. The in troductory passages of this article are by far the most discriminating portions of it. " The Peerage and Baronetage" is the work of a writer of consummate good sense. It is Radical in its tone, but not wan tonly or offensively so. We subjoin the closing paragraph, which is in a good-humoured vein of ridicule : " Drugs and decanters are labelled to let us know the qua lities of the liquors within ; men with the qualities of these four hundred baronets should, as they solicit, have badg es on the outsides of them, for similar reasons, before they are allowed t - ' circulate in society, and they must brn !ae thenisch es if th eir-- ; ttacts are interpreted—Green Gooseberry, or Mock Cham- rane." The " Arts of Antiquity" should have c)ntainedk more original observation and less extract. In one re''t mark of the writer we cordially coincide, A " fami liarity," says he, " with the purest models of taste is 'I calculated to make a free and moral people. Vice and demoralization cannot co-exist with moral and intellec tual refinement." The " Pickwick Papers" i s a flat termb, but by no means undeserved, tribut e to the meritto of one 9f the most sterling humourists of the day. The notice of " Charles Lam b's Letters" is I carefully written, both as regards style and thought' and the remarks on the "New Rei g n" more temp eta!€ than has usually been the case with the political diatribes of the London and Westminster Review. EXCHEQUER COURT-CIHIS DAY•) CLARK V. GARNIER. This was an action brought to recover the value and mate rials used in the sinking of a well in Hampshire, where thr defendant carries on the business of a brewer. He w a ' anxious to obtain a good supply of soft water, for which purpose he employed the plaintiff, who sun k the well seventy-three feet, and then bored to the depth of 490 feet, when he came to the main spring and obtaine d a plen tiful supply. After the plaintiffs counsel had beer engaged for four hours and a half in proving the work don( and its sufficiency, the defendant's Counsel put him to tin proof of every item of the bill of twelve pages of foolscap. The Learned JUDGE suggested, that if that courso wen taken he would find it necessary to discharge every other Jury and devote the whole week to this cause. Juries were never intended to settle matters of account in such a manner. Wh) not refer the whole account to a Gentleman of the Bar. After some consultation between the Counsel on each side the suggestion.of the Judge was acceeded to, and all matter . in dispute between the parties were referred. WARRINGTON V. BOYCE. This cause was called on, and Mr. PLATT was about to Opel it to the Jury, but was interrupted by Lord ABINGER, who said it would be extremely desirable that an end should be put to such a cause before the charge' involved in it were made public. He spoke for both parties, because he saw from the pleadings, that the inquiry, if gone into, must be a most odious one. Counsel on both sides agreed in the propriety of the Sig' gestion ; and after consulting with their clients for half an hour Mr. PLATT said his client the plaintiff was very desirous 0 having a public inquiry, and of course a public refutation 0 4 the gross charges which had been thrown upon his character ; however, in deference to his Lordship, he had consented ti take a verdict for 405., with costs. Mr. THESSIGER, for the defendant, said he had all g been most anxious to put a stop to the litigation between them'' parties. He was instructed by Mr. Boyce to withdraw all im putations upon the character of Mr. Warrington, and consent to the verdict. A verdict for plaintiff for 403. was then entered, and his LORDSHIP certified that it was a proper case for a Special Jury. I'AICES ot• St uCKS THIS 1)A 'i A l ONE O'Cl., (K.
