Of its political spirit we say nothing. We look on it only as a clever sample of fun and humour. " The Visit of of Helen to the Sean Gate," is a translation from the Iliad, after the manner of Sir Walter Scott's Marmion. The translation is fairly enough rendered, but the writer is mistaken if he supposes he is original. in his idea. He says, " This is an attempt (the first, I be lieve) to turn a passage of the Iliad into the metre used by Scott." Now it happens to be no such thing. The first Homeric translation a-la-Marmion, was made by Sidney Walker, now Fellow of Trinity, in a volume of poems which he published shortly after leaving Eton, and was that sublime passage in one of the later books of the Iliad which describes the march of Neptune. Another translation was printed in The Sun, some five or six years since—to which we ourselves plead guilt}--deseriptive of the achievements of Hector under the walls of Troy, shortly previous to his death by Achilles. Moreover, the experiment has been recom- , mended at least a dozen times in 7'he Sun, as one likely, in the hands of such men as Wilson, Lockhart, or Maginn, to attract attention by its novelty. True, the metre of Scott is full of all sorts of variety, now anapestic, now iambic ; and Homer writes only in the hexameter measure ; still, his hexameters, unlike the smooth, but monotonous verse of Virgil, are constantly varying in their melody ; now thundering like a cata ract, now falling on the ear as softly and plaintively as the sigh of an iEolian harp ; at one time sounding on like the majestic swell of a cathedral organ ; and at an other, grating as harshly as a saw drawn across the edge of a blunt carving-knife. We cannot compli ment the author of the present translation on his selec tion of a passage from the Iliad. He should have taken a more stirring and characteristic one—a good pitched battle—such, for instance, as that where "bully" Ajax is represented as enacting more wonders than even Shaw the Life-guardsman, ,at Waterloo. ,Let him turn this over in his mind, -and.make a second. attempt. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. " Mrs. Hall's Irish Sketches" are resumed in this Number, and are just as natural, kindly, and graceful as ever. She should confine herself in fiction to Irish subjects, for now Miss Edgeworth has quitted the field, and Lady Morgan turned fashionable novelist, she is without a rival. " Wordsworth's new Poems," is a notice of the great Lake Poet's last volume. For the " Cursory Remarks on Rousseau," the Reviewer is indebted to an affecting passage at the close of one of Hazlitt's lectures on the_ English poets, where he alludes to the egotism and deep sensibility—maudlin, we have always thought it, and ever shall—of the philo sopher of Ermenonville. " Francia the Dictator" is a continuation of some interesting papers on the character of this Jesuit despot of Paraguay. At some more leisure day we may quote the particulars of an animated inter view, in the course of which the writer assures us that he bearded the Dictator to his face. " The Battle of the Elephants" is a cleverish quiz on the melodramatic monstrosities now so popular at our patent theatres. " An Adventure on the Green Mountains" describes the horrors of an unlucky gentleman who walked, by mistake, one day, into a wolf's den, just at the moment when the animal was waking up (hungry no doubt) from an afternoon's nap. Luckily the traveller was enabled to make his way out again, but not before he had been stared out of countenance by the rude tenant of the cave. He tells us he was uncommonly frigh tened. We can believe him. Even at the best of times, it is an awkward thing to take liberties with a wolf From the " Records of a Stage Vt.teran," we extract ,wo amusing anecdotes : A STAGE TItICK.—A comedian at present in great repute was some seven or eight years since in great embarrassments, and, to use his own phrase, could not street-ize ; he ate, drank, and slept in the theatre • divers scions of the Doe family essayed in vain • at length D —s, the officer, got admit tance to the theatre during a rehearsal. Faustus was about to be produced, and had the comedian been secured, the theatre would have been reduced to great inconvenience. D— watched his victim, and was walking towards him, when the actor, with extraordinary presence of mind, threw himself upon the vampire trap, and went through the stage, as if by magic. That piece of stage machinery (now common in many pieces) had then never been exhibited in London. The officer grew terrified, and picking his way over the stage, like a tabby over a muddy crossing, walked out of the theatre. W. FARREN'S SIIYLOCK.—For this character, though out of his usual line, Mr. Farren has a great desire, and fre quently plays it for his benefit. He is not very portly now, but when he enacted Shylock at Birmingham, he was certainly one of Pharaoh's lean kine. The performance went pretty smoothly until Shylock says— " The pound of flesh that I demand is mine, 'Tis dearly bought, and I will have it." When a fellow in the gallery called out, " Oh 1 let old skinny have the pound of flesh, you can see he wants it bad enough." THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The rabid Conservative spirit in which this Maga zine begins to be conducted, will shortly carry it out of the sphere of literary periodicals, and place it side by side with publications much less respectable in point of talent. The disgusting tirades against the Whig Ministry, and the shocking nature of the causes as signed for the failure of the Reformation in Ireland, are in themselves striking evidences of the low state of moral feeling among those who have recourse to such weapons in defence of any party or institution. What will the people of England think of the religion of a writer who ascribes the predominance of the Catholic reli gion in Ireland to the culpable neglect of the Govern ment, in enforcing the penal statutes against Catho lics ? We really blush for our species, when we con template the existence of such barbarous sentiments. The literary articles in the present number are so few, as to occupy but a trifling portion of its pages. " Scenes from the Life of Edward. Lascelles, Gent.," arc a series of entertaining papers, improving every month. " Anthony -Poplar's Note Book" is neither sufficiently long, nor sufficiently varied to suit our taste. We would prefer amusement with instruction. THE GARDENER'S MAGAZINE. AN ENCY CLORIEDIA OF GARDENING. Part XVIII. Longman and Co. Two publications, conducted by that eminent horti culturist—Mr. J. C. Loudon. The engravings are numerous. COURT MAGAZINE. There are several readable papers in this number, among others one entitled " Sketches from Real Life," in which the personal peculiarities of the authors of " Tremaine" and " Sayings and Doings" arc good naturedly, and we should suppose, accurately, hit off: In every respect the number is a good one, and is 'em bellished with a portrait of Lady Newark, and a pic turesque engraving of that magnificent seat, Belvoir Castle. UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. This periodical appeals to the tastes of a very large class of readers ; for who is there that is not, like Desdemona, fond of hearing about " battles, sieges, and hair-breadth 'stapes in the imminent deadly breach ?" The Number before us contains many stirring articles, the best of which is, that on the " Barbary Corsairs," which gives some curious histo rical details respecting the rise and progress of these African Buccaneers, who, it may be remembered, figure, under their two leaders, the Barbarossas, in Robertson's History of Charles the Fifth. ARBORETUM BRITANNICUM ; OR THE HARDY TREES OF BRITAIN. No. V. Longman and Co. The engravings of this work, which is to be com pleted in twenty-four monthly Parts, are without ques tion among the most beautiful specimens of art in this particular department. Each Number contains twelve of these admirably executed engravings, with several pages of Letterpress—the whole conducted by Mr. J. C. Loudon. i r ~. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1835. SOUTH DEVON ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH DEVON. MY COUNTRYMEN—There ntver was a contest on which the earnest attention of the nation at large was more fixed than that in which you are now engaged. Do your duty, and your country will honour you for it. Your VOTE is a PUBLIC TRUST, not personal property —employ it faith fully, as conscience enjoins. Were I one of you, I would come from any distance to share in the exertions by which I trust your noble candidate will be made again your Re presentative. I witnessed your first struggles in the great cause of enlightened liberty ; and I have joyfully observed your successes since. _ Surely yon will not degrade your country and yourselves by going backwards, when the world around you is going forwards. You have doubtless read the Address to you from the Statesman who again offers himself for your choice. Read, again and again, Its manly appeals to plain good sense. It is intelligible to all ; and yet is entitled to the attention of the most profound. It is universally felt to be an ADDRESS TO THE NATION, and it has been read by millions with un mixed satisfaction, and calm hopefulness. Its principles are those of PRESERVATION and IMPROVEMENT ; and the liberal-minded who rank among the Conservatives, see that it is on such principles alone that we may hope for national welfare and tranquillity. False terrors plunge into real dan gers. We never need fear the effects of justice, and JUS TICE To ALL is stamped upon this admirable Address, in the characters of truth and frankness. Russell is a name dear to the friends of freedom, who read the history of past centuries. It is destined to go down with distinguished honour in the history of the pre sent. Among the Statesmen of this eventful period, none will stand higher for enlightened and comprehensive views, steadfast perseverance, sound judgment, frank uprightness, and wise moderation, than Lord John Russell : and shame would rest on your district if it should be said, " Disap pointed ambition, interested fear, malignant calumny, and personal and party rancour, rejected such a man." Shame be to every one among you whose vote, so influenced, tends to this result. Party spirit disregards the dictates of even common pru dence. Were the opponents of the Home Secretary to succeed in the present contest., they could not drive him from the post of high responsibility and influence to which he has been so justly advanced. The voice of the country is too strongly pronounced in his favour ; and he is not the man to yield where public duty requires firmness and .stabi lity.. Why then, says prudence, risk hiS hostility ? They, rely, I doubt not, on his magnanimity. - They know that he regards power, as you ought to regard your vote, as a TausTfi)r the general welfare. Why then oppose him at all ? It will make many a heart sick to vote against him ; and conscience will prepare a bitter reckoning for those who, from fear or favour, now slight its requirements ; for those still more who, by threats or promises, endeavour to make you violate the trust committed to you for the welfare of your country. And who are those who most strenuously oppose him ? Men whose principles, if they had the ascendancy, would goad Ireland to insurrection, give increased power to conti nental despotism, and probably soon engage our own country in warfare. The principles of Russell are peace, liberty, and justice. lam a Protestant on deep and earnest conviction, but I fear nothing for Protestantism from jus tice to Ireland. We may not have yet learnt to place full confidence in Mr. O'Connell ; but it is encouraging to see his great power over his countrymen employed on the side of political wisdom. Should he, however, forget moderation, let us remember justice. Measures of justice and wisdom for Ireland will disarm him of his power for evil. We may well hope they will secure his power for good. In Ireland's prosperity Great Britain cannot fail to share. Be just, my countrymen, and fear not. Let every man among you, When he goes to the poll, remember that his vote belongs not to himself BUT TO HIS COUNTRY ! April, 1835. ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. S►a,--Our borough is one of those which arose from that key to future Improvements, the Reform Bill ; consequently we are young in the duties required from Constituents ; but I think we have not done amiss for our first election. We re turned a Member said to be a long-tried Reformer ; it is true we were in some measure deceived in him as to his votes last Session on the 20,000,0001. to the slave-owners and the Factory Bill, but speaking generally we might have chosen a much worse Reformer. So far as the present Parliament has ad vanced he has done his duty ; but the moment he swerves from it he will lose the confidence of the electors of this place, for no man can be returned for this borough but one of the most liberal principles. The Tories are bordering on mad ness, and though assisted by a few strange converts from Radicalism, yet all their efforts are Lilliputian, except in hole and-corner matters. In no part of the kingdom have scarcely any of the Tory memorials to Sir Robert Peel emanated from public meetings. Let his Majesty look at this, and also at the numerous public meetings held by the opposite party, who were not ashamed or afraid of broad day-light, because their, motives and their deeds were dictated by conscience. Look at the number of signatures to the Liberal Addresses, and the rapidity with which they were obtained : that of our own little borough mustered near 4,000 in little more than nine hours I This fact speaks vollimes " of the pressure from with out." There is a subject that has given the Tories a sad blow here, and for which we have had heaped upon us every kind of abuse. We have established a Re form Committee, on a resolution passed at a dinner of Non-electors, given in honour of our Representative, at which the amazing number of 640 dined in one room. The duties of this body were to communicate every possible infor mation to our member, and to receive the earliest intimation on interesting questions from him in return ; to get up peti • tions ; to look after the due registration of voters, both of the county and borough in our parish ; in fact, to forward every measure of Reform. This Committee was elected by a pub lic Meeting, consisting of 25 electors and 25 non-electors. Now what is there wrong in this ? And yet we are abused by the Tories, called a set of dictators, shacklers of free opinion, and a disgrace to our Representative, who, they say, only repre sents the Committee ; and this in the face of their own Con servative clubs, formed in every place where two or three can be gathered together, and whose language is nothing but dic tation. I sincerely wish our Reform Committee was imitated in every borough represented in the British Parliament, as I am persuaded that such committees are most useful to the good cause, and the best proof of it is, that we have the curses of the Tories, which, in such a case, are blessings. S o far from our's being a dictating . Committee, we have not known how our Member would vote in any instance, until after the vote was given. To such a Committee our worthy Member not only agreed, but warmly solicited it to be formed. I have to apologise for intruding at such length on the space of your valuable Paper, of which the rapidity of communication is de serving the praise and support of every Reformer. SUM QUOD FECI. Ashton-under-Tyne, April 26, 1833. CHURCH RATES. At Beccles, in Suffolk, a resolution to adjourn the consi. deration for granting a Church-rate was carried on Easter Monday, by a majority of 130 to 55 ; whereupon the Church wardens discovered that the notice issued by them to call the meeting was not legally constructed. On the following Sun day, therefore, another public notice was given, announcing a meeting for Thursday, the 30th. Yesterday, the persons opposed to the granting a rate were again prepared to resist the imposition, both by protesting against disturbing the decision of the former, and by moving an adjournment of the present meeting ; when an offer was made by the Corporation to pay the Church-rates for the cur rent year out of their funds. It may be proper to remark, that the Corporation, so styled, are only feoffecs, or managers of the Public Charities, and other Funds, belonging to the town generally. The proposal, at first sight, looked so fair, that it was ac ceded to, and an arrangement entered into between the parties, by which it will be carried into effect. The question which naturally arises is, whether the town funds of Beecles, or those of any other town in the kingdom, are legally appropriated to the exclusive use and behoof of Churchmen—if they arc not, it is obvious the objectors will pay by a side wind that which they would resist, when placed before them in its true shape and colour. It is also instructive to witness the readiness with which Churchmen will always propose to adopt any course, rather than that of paying voluntarily for their own forms of wor ship ; and it may be well to hold up this successful attempt to appropriate the public funds at Beecles as a warning to other places, lest it should be acted upon with impunity, and be the means of diverting the charities to improper uses. CAPTAIN CIIANIIER'S NEW NAVAL NOVEL _ —" We invite the public," observes the Metropolitan Maga zine, "to read The Unfortunate Man,' for the fund of amusement, and the no small portion of information they will derive from it. The work commences with a rich vein of pleasantry that covers a stratum of sharp satire, and contains more wit than twenty modern novels, and as much genuine humour as would set up forty disappointed critics as good writers on their own account. The whole of the three volumes is a portraiture of actual life--life brilliant with the most glowing colours, and rich with the best worldly instruction." PUBLIC DINNER AT WIIITBY.—We inserted, at the time, a short account of a public dinner given at Whitby, on the 27th of March, on the presentation of a beautiful silver cup to Richard Moorson, Esq., and in celebration of the open ing of the new b r idge. We are glad to find that a full account of the proceedings, and excellent speeches made, on that occa sion, has been printed; and we regret that we can only find. room for the inscription on the cup, the sentiments expressed in which do equal honour to Mr. Moorson and to the Re formers of Whitby. It is as follows :—" To Richard Moor son, Esq., who, in the rare union of patriotism and enlight ened political principles, was seldom perhaps equalled ; and in the liberal and amiable qualities which constitute the per fection of the statesman and the Christian, was never excelled; This Cup, purchased by a Penny Subscription, as a memorial of esteem and gratitude for his exertions in the cause of Re form, of Civil and Religious Liberty, and the Independence of his native Town, was presented by his admiring Townsmen." ,VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) TYSALL ANL/ OTHERS V. SIIELFORD—INJUNCTION. Mr. KNIGHT applied, in this case ex-parte, for an injunc tion to restrain the defendant from manufacturing ships' windlasses, similar to those manufactured by the plaintiff, and for which he had obtained a patent. From the statements of the bill verified by the affidavits, it appeared that the in vention of the plaintiff saved a great deal of labour in the working of ships' windlasses, by means of a lever. In the year 1833 the plaintiff discovered that the defendant had been infringing his patent, and he brought an action against him for that infringement. Upon that occasion the defendant promised to cease the infringement, and upon that promise the plaintiff consented to forego proceedings. Notwithstanding this understanding, the plaintiff, in March last, discovered that the defendant had again been infringint , his patent, and he had therefore no course left but to make the present application. His HONOUR, after looking at the models of the plaintiff's invention, and those manufactured ,by the defendant, imme diately granted the injunction. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Court took the special paper this morning. The cases argued were not possessed of the slightest public interest. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) BARNARD V. GLOSSOP. This was an action against the defendant, the late lessee of the Victoria Theatre, for the value of the copyright of a dra matic piece, entitled Victorine, or I'll sleep on it, of which the plaintiff is the author. The case was tried in the Sheriffs' Court, and a verdict given for the plaintiff for 171. ss. Mr. THOMAS now appeared to move for a rule to set this verdict aside, on the ground of an illegal contract. The de claration asserted a bargain and sale for 501., which the de fendant denied. An agreement had certainly been made, giving Mr. Glossop the sole right of acting, which he could not have possessed under such an assignment as that which was alleged to exist. In this case the assignee represented the author • but under the 4th of William IV. cap. 14, the assignee and not the author was empowered to dispose of and claim the benefit of the copyright, but not until ho had re ceived an assignment from the author. The Court reminded the learned Counsel, that in the de claration it was stated, that the defendant said in the Green room to a witness named Phillips—" I saw Barnard last night, and agreed to give him 151." Mr. THOMAS contended that a verbal agreement would not apply in such a case as this, for this was not a sale of goods, but an assignment of a copyright, and the sole right of represent ing, which ought to be in writing. The question, therefore, to be disposed of first, was whether the Plaintiff had a, right to sustain his action ? Mr. Under Sheriff Burchell at the trial said, over and over again, that he thought he ought to non- • suit. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET—Do you mean to deny there is no good action at Common Law. Mr: THOMAS—I do. Mr. DOWLING, who supported the rule, quoted the case of Miller v. —, in which ten out of the twelve Judges decided that there was a good action at Common Law upon the ques- tion of copy-right. The COURT decided that as the defendant had not pleaded the illegality of contract at the trial he could not do so now, and therefore the rule must be refused. SCALES V. PINKERTON. Mr. Sergeant TADDY moved the Court for a rule to set aside an award made in favour of the plaintiff, who had sued the East London Water Works Company for the sum of 1,1271. upon a previous contract made by him to lay down an immense number of water pipes. While the action was in litigation it was suggested to refer it to arbitration, which was subsequently agreed to, and, according to affidavits produced, it appeared that some of the witnesses before the arbitrators, considerably underrated the value of the work ; and one de clared that he could have performed the contract for 2001., but it was subsequently discovered that he had declared if be could get 2001. by the job, he would spoil the plaintiff's case. The COURT held it would be a bad precedent to set aside an award. If any of the witnesses had sworn falsely, they could be prosecuted for the offence.—Rule refused. EXCHEQUER, COURT.-(THIS DAY) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THOMSON. This was an information filed by the Attorney-General for a breach of the Custom Laws. The trial was had several Terms ago, when the verdict was for the Crown, and a rule for a new trial was obtained by the defendant. It was argued last Term, and judgment deferred. This morning the Court delivered its judgment through Mr. Baron PARKE. He said the information was filed against the defendant for illegally unshipping a large quantity of foreign silks in the port of Dover, without the duty having been paid or secured. The facts of the case were these : the goods, to the amount of 3,9 45 yards of silk , were un shi pp ed from a French ship about two miles from the shore, near Dover, and charged to be within the limits of the port, as laid down by the Commissioners appointed by the 13 and 14 of Charles the Second. They were brought, in a boy, up to London—to Ratcliff, where they were landed, and seized by the Officers of the Customs. The objection taken by the Counsel for the defendant was that the unshipping took place on the high seas, and not within the United Kingdom. The Court did not think it necessary, upon the present occa sion, to decide that point, because there was evidence ill the cause of the hiring of the master of the French ship by the de fendant to put the goods on board the hoy, which of itself made it clearly an illegal unshipping. The next objection taken was set aside by the second count of the information—the goods were seized in the riveriThames, and it must be held to be within the body of some county, otherwise the Act of Par liament would become a dead letter, and no penalties could be recovered in any similar gross case. The rule for a new trial was therefore discharged. IN RR FACLKENER. Sir W. FOLLETT moved the arrest of an estreat upon the above gentleman. He said his client was one of the partners in the firm of Addlington, Faulkener, and Gregory, solici tors, who were employed to sue out a fiat of bankruptcy against a person named Kensington, at the suit of a gentleman named Jones. They were appointed solicitors to the bankruptcy, and acted in that capacity. On the 28th of October last, they were informed by the official assignee that their client Jones had offered a sum of 5001. for a part of the bank rupt's property, which was for sale. A few days after Jones wrote to the firm, and then gave them to understand that his offer was 500/. down, on being put in possession of the property, the estate to be burdened with all the expenses attending the tranfer. Mr. Faulkener had interviews and cor respondence with both the assignee arid the official assignee on the matter, who both perfectly understood the offer, as Mr. Jones had informed him of it, and they quite agreed that the expenses, 461., were to be paid out of the estate. The matter then came before Mr. Commissioner Fane, who took an en tirely different view of the offer : he did not see what was the understanding between the assignee and Jones' agents—the letter of Jones in which the offer was contained was the contract by which in law he was bound, and said that Mr. Faulkener, who was acting as solicitor to the assignees, ought to have felt it his duty to have told them that they were not bound to pay one farthing of the expenses, and he would not allow the estate to be a sufferer from his misconduct. At a subsequent period Mr. Faulkener was summoned before Mr. Fane, in the usual way, to give an account of the bankrupt's property—there was then no business belonging to the bank ruptcy before the Commissioner—and Mr. Faulkener found that he was brought there for the purpose of being repri manded, for not giving that advice to the assignees to which reference was before made. Mr. Faulkener on that occasion showed the Commissioner the letters he had had from the official assignee ; these he would not look at, but in a very harsh manner charged him with having sacrificed the interests of the estate by improperly acting for both parties in the matter. On the Bth of January a meeting was held for the audit of the ac counts, at which Mr. Faulkener's clerk attended, and Mr. Fane again made use of some very harsh expressions before all the creditors, relative to the conduct of Mr. Faulkener, and desired the clerk to tell him that he had acted most impro perly throughout the whole affair. The clerk delivered the message about six o'clock in the evening, and Mr. Faulkener, feeling that such observations were undeserved, and ought not to have been made before a large body of creditors, immediately sat down and wrote a letter, which was the groundwork of the fine which had been im posed. In that letter he told the Commissioner, that in his opinion the observations he had been pleased to make were perfectly uncalled for, and did not become a man holding the situation he (Mr. Fane) did, &c. On the 22d of January (in the mean time, nothing more was heard of the matter), Mr. Faulkener received another summons in the usual form, re quiring him to give information of the property and affairs of the bankruptcy. He attended, and said he had no information to give ; but Mr. Pane refused to hear a word till he, Mr. Faulkener, was sworn. As soon as that was done, Mr. Fane took out the letter of the Bth, and asked whether that was his signature. Mr. Faulkener at once acknowledged it , when Mr. Fane produced a book, from which he delivered a judg ment on the case, fining Mr. Faulkener 10/. for the letter. Mr. BARON ALDERSON.—DO you mean to say that the judg ment was prepared before the offence was proved—before any evidence was taken? Sir WM. FOLLETT.—It is so, my Lord. Mr. Baron PARKE.—Mr. Fane prepared the judgment, be cause he knew there could be no doubt the letter would be at once acknowledged. Sir WM. FOLLETT.—Of course, knowing where it came from, he could not for a moment doubt but that it would be at once acknowledged—however, such were the facts. He submitted that the Commissioners had not the power of fining or imprisoning, or both, as claimed in the judgment. Under the old law, the 6th Geo. IV. cap. 4, sec. 34, they had no power to imprison, except in certain cases, under none of which was it possible to bring the writing of a letter. The Act 1 and 2 William IV. chap. 115. gave them power to order rioters &c. into the custody of their officer ; but they were immediately to be sent before an Alderman or a Justice of the Peace, not to be fined or imprisoned at the discretion of the Commissioner or any of them. He understood the Commis sioner meant to rely upon the Ist William IV. cap. 56, which gave them all the powers and privileges of the Judges at Westminster, by erecting their Court into a Court of Record --there could be no doubt of that. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—You mean that the Court of Bank ruptcy has the same power as the Court at Westminster, but that a Commissioner has no more power than a Judge out of Court? Sir W. FOLLETT—Yes, my Lord. The 7th section of the Act clearly defines the powers which they are to have. It says, " No single Commissioner shall have power to commit further than to the custody of their own officers, who shall bring the prisoner before a subdivision Court within three days, where his offence shall be determined upon." The COURT—Take a rule to show cause. ROYAL ACADEMY.-(THIS DAY.) This morning the exhibition opened for the private view, and was honoured with the presence as usual of some branches of the Royal Family, who were met and conducted thmugh the rooms by Sir Martin A. Shee, and other Members of the Royal Academy. The exhibition, upon the whole, is much better than last season. Landseer's picture of Highland cattle is one of the finest pictures of the class ever painted in this country. Tur ner's View of Venice, and the Destruction of the Houses of Parliament, seen at a distance, are quite in his magical style ; he has also some smaller pictures of shipping. Pickersgill has several good portraits. We object much to the action of that of his Duke of Wellington, whom he has represented with one leg forward, standing upon an eminence, and the arm resting upon it ; the forshortening is bad. Etty has sent some small pictures, equal to any of the Venetian school. S. Lane's pic ture of the late Sir J. Malcolm is very effective. Hart's pic ture is equal to that least season. The sculpture-room is well filled. Westmacott, Wyatt of Rome, and Moore, have sent some very good works. Sievier has a fine monument to the Memory of the late Mr. Palmer. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

M. de Lamartine's " Pilgrimage to the Holy Land" will be published immediately. This enthusiastic traveller and poet explored, in the true spirit of a Christian pilgrim, every part of the hallowed spots of Palestine. He traversed the Valley of Jehoshaphat, ascended the Mount of Olives, wandered by the shore. of the Dead Sea, and on the awful plain where stood the doomed cities ; he lingered in the sacred garden of Gethsemane, and visited the spot where our Saviour wept over Jerusalem. Of these and many other holy localities the eloquent author has recorded his impressions, and given to his contemporaries a work which will often be recurred to by the reader of the Inspired Writings. MAY MORNING.—An ancient author, describing May-day, says at the time he wrote, at the beginning of the month of May, " The citizens of London (of all estates) lightly in every parish, or sometimes two or three parishes joyning together, had their several Mayings, and did fetch in May-poles, with divers warlike shelves, with good archers, morrice dancers, and other devices, for pastime all the day long, and to wa rds the evening they had stage plaies and bon fires in the streets. Of these Mayings we read in the reign of Henry the Sixth that the Aldermen and Sheriffes of London being on May-day at the Bishop of London's wood, in the parish of Stubenheath, and having there a worshipfull dinner for themselves and other commers, Lydgate, the poet, who was a monk at Bury, sent to them by a pursuivant a joyful commendation of the season, containing sixteen staves in meeter royal." In the village of Thwayte, near Aylshain, a poor cottager's wife, of the name of Bustens, was delivered on Sunday, the sth April, of a boy, and on Monday, eighteen hours after the first, she was delivered afterwards of a boy, and then a girl. The three children are all living, and likely to do well. COURT CIRCULAR. His Majesty, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, left St. James's Palace at half-past six o'clock on Wednesday evening, for Windsor Castle. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will have as semblies at Kensington Palace, on Monday the 4th, and on the 11th of May, and a concert on the 18th.

FASHIONS, FOR _3IIA.Y. , , (From the World of Fashion.) MAKE AND MATERIAL OF MORNING DRESSES.-:—A reforma- tion, long pleaded for in vain, by taste, has been granted by her stepmother fashion ; the enormous and disfiguring circle of skirt is reduced to more becoming bounds ; and sleeves, though still extremely full, no longer resemble a happy inven tion to conceal deformity : the redingote form still prevails, the fronts being ornamented either with riband, plaited round lozenge compartments, or simple bows placed in the centre ; pelerines assume various shapes on the shoulder, round, square, vandyked ; but they are universally worn smaller in front, with points sometimes crossing under the girdle, but showing the corsage on each side; whatever be the style of trimming on the dress, it is repeated on the pelerine front • the body of the gown itself being quite plain. Among the most distin guished Long-champs fashions, we observed a citron colour foulard, with satin rays a tint lighter • the skirt opening on one side, and tied with six bows of riband; a pelerine crossed over the bosom, had a second cape, square and reversed; an other of lilac gros de tours, was ornamented with three flat plaits in satin, placed et tamblier, and repeated from the shoulder to the waist, a novel kind of cord, made in chenille, formed an elegant finish to the dress. Several plaid dresses had double folds of coloured silk or riband round the skirt re sembling tucks ; in colour, these assimilated with the promi nent one of the plaid. Some very elegant muslin dresses have appeared with flounces, but this fashion will not be general while coloured linings continue so much in favour. ENSEMBLE OF EVENING COSTUMES.—White dresses are very universal this spring, when composed of crape, organdie or muslin ; the corsage is finished at top by a band of satin plaits, which widens towards the shoulder and sustains draperies of blond. The sabot sleeves no longer conceal half the arm ; that most graceful part of a fine figure was never seen to more advantage than beneath the fullness of the new beret sleeve ; a bracelet is placed on the band, or, for very young ladies, bows of riband and flowers ; bouquets are likewise worn upon the shoulders, and at the end of a long sash ; these ornaments should consist of a single flower, with buds and foliage, while garlands for the hair arc wreathed of small and variegated flowers, cherry colour being a prominent tint. MORNING CAPS.—The beautiful embroidery, so much pa tronized this season, has not failed to embellish the demi neglige caps, which all pretty women know how to value, a pale silk lining heightens their effect. The border is plaited tulle, quite close round the face. The ribands striped or plaid gauze. Most morning caps have an oval cawl rising to a point (not very high) which is twined round with riband and brides parting from the front. Ilaia-DaEssiNo.—Ringlets are more worn than for some time past : a portion of the hair is separated from one side, and allowed to hang in long curls upon the neck. The back hair is also curled, and hangs in waiving curls round the bows or braids above it. Flowers of exquisite texture and hue are worn in every style which coquetry or taste suggests. These wreaths are frequently divided into three, one part twining round the bows behind, the other on each temple. Double chains of wrought gold are a fashionable ornament, one part as a band across the forehead, the other foming a circle above. (From the Lady's Magazine and Museum.) COSTUME 1)E LONG-CHAMPS ; WALKING-DRESS.—The hat is of toile de sole ; the front rather deeper, and longer at the sides, than those that have been worn lately. At the sides it sits close to the face, but at the same time is rather evasive. The crown is neither very high, nor is it pointed. The border round the front of the hat, as well as the small rouleaux on the crown, is of blue satin, forming a pretty contrast with the delicate straw colour of the hat. The bows, brides, and bavolet, are likewise edged with pipings of blue satin. Redingote of a new silk called Elysinne. The corsage fits' tight to the bust. The skirt, which is very full, is fas;efted down the. left side with a row of silk buttons ; on eacX side of the opening is a bias of satin. A large pelerine of the same, likewise edged with a bias hem of satin, nearly covers the corsage ; the ends of the pelerine fasten beneath. the band in front. The under sleeve, which is long, fits as tight as possible to the arm ; a second short sleeve, which is left loose, and is very full, reaches nearly to the elbow, and is edged with n narrow rou leau of satin. It is rather deeper on the outside of the arm than on the inside. The large falling collar of India muslin is embroidered and trimmed with a deep lace, set on tolerably full. It is fastened in front with a brooch. White satin stockings, black shoes of drap de soie : ceinture of gros grains broche ; parasole of broche silk. (From the Court Magazine.) GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. Silk pelisses, both open and clwd, arc expected to be very fashionable this month is cairiage dress. They are composed of you de sci, Bros d'ete, and other silks of a very rich kind. ....)111C have the corsage nearly covered by a pelerine, which crosses on the bosom, and has a square collar. Others have a high corsage, trimmed with a drapery which comes from the shoulders to the waist ; it is composed of three folds on each side ; a small torsade, formed of two pipings, goes down the centre of the corsage in front. The skirts of these latter are closed before, and trimmed with folds in the form of a tablier. Some of the others have the skirts fastened down the side by knots of riband. There are some also closed, and these latter are trimmed with pattes of a very novel kind, edged with an exceedingly light and pretty fancy silk trimming. Though nothing can yet be said to be decided as to the form of dresses, it is, however, certain, that their enormous width will be consi derably diminished. So, also, will that of sleeves, though they are expected to remain full at the bottom. Peletines will be a little smaller, and in general more open on the bosom. Se veral of the new ones are made in points, which pass under the ceinture, but do not extend below it, but the greater num ber are open upon the bosom, so as to display the front of the _ pelisse. Persian shawls are an elegant spring novelty, the grounds are at once rich and light, the patterns are Interlaced and shaded quite in the Asiatic style. Plaid satin shawls, though rather too showy, in our opinion, are very likely to be fashion able ; they have very large squares, with highly-raised flowers in the centre of each, and a long fringe. Some change, but as yet a trifling one, has taken place in the form of hats, the brim shorter at the ears and wider across the forehead, is, we think, more generally becoming. The crowns are wider, - they are still of the cone form, but only slightly so, and are placed farther back than they have lately been worn. Rice straw hats will be quite as fashionable in evening dress as they were last season, and it is supposed that they will be generally trimmed with feathers. Flowers will be universally adopted in half dress, those of a rare kind, such as exotics, and others that have been but recently cultivated, are expected to be the most fashionable. THE WOOL TRADE.—Yesterday the first of a series of sales of Colonial and other wools commenced. There was a full attendance of those connected with the trade, and buyers from the manufacturing towns.
