MEETING OF PARLIA3IEN"f. As the present state of th e Mi n i s t r y must awaken the utmost anxiety in the minds of all poli tical readers, and lead them at this moment to look for the amplest intelligence, combined with the most free and fear less discussion in their newspapers, Mr. BUCKINGHAM, the Editor of the SPHYNX, in order to render his Journal a more powerful organ of opinion, and a more comprehen sive Newspaper, has determined to enlarge its plan, and instead of publishing a Number once a week at the price of Is., will in future give two •papers at the price of 9d. each. They will be published on Wednesday and Saturday, so as to comprise the two London Gazettes, so important to Country Residents. As each Number will contain Six teen Large Quarto Pages, the Editor will be able to give in his two Numbers such a complete digest of the News of the week, (including the Leading Articles of other Journals) as shall supply the place of a three-times-a-week Paper. In addition to these advantages, the SPHYNX, from pecu liar sources of information open to the Editor, will be enabled frequently to communicate exclusive intelligence to its readers, and it will contain what no other paper in England has ever yet attempted—a Commentary, by way of notes, on the Parliamentary Debates, exposing the errors, mis-statements, and fallacies of the several Speakers, as they occur; thus making the reader as it were a party to the debate, by giving him the ready repartee of one present in the House, and speaking freely that which would he likely to pass in the mind of any independent and unbiassed auditor in that Assembly. Orders for the SPHYNX LONDON NEWS GA ZETTE, the cheapest and most comprehensive Paper that any Country Resident can possess, will be received by all Newsmen, and by the Clerks of the Roads, and no delay should take place in their transmission. Published for the Proprietors by W. Lewer, at the Office, No. 14.7, Strand, near Sutnerset House. WHITE FREESTONE.

THE GAZELLE.—The gazelle is hunted at once with falcons and greyhounds. The greyhound is not quick enough ; hut the falcons fix on it, attack its eyes, and so retard it till the greyhound can come up, and seize it. —London Medical Gazette, Jan. 26. This very useful publication professes to be mythological, historical, and geographical com mentary on Pope's Hoincr and Dryden's Virgi! (the lEneid), but though limited ill its applica tion to, and explanations of, these well-known Greek and Latin Bards, the limitation is of i;o extensive a nature, and spreads out into so manv various branches, that it may be looked on as a species of Classical Dictionary, wherein the stu dent will find almost as much matter as in Lem priere's popular " Bibliotheca Classic:l." In one respect the present work is far superior to the worthy Doctor's; for, though it treats as a matter of necessity on many circumstances which, from the well-known character of the Pagan mytho logy, arc not merely faulty, but even revolting to all established notions of taste and deli cacy, it never once trespasses on decorum, or excites an impure idea. Dr. Lempriere, un luckily, is not quite so immaculate, but gives their full force to many of the most exception able classical traditions. The geographical por tion of the present treatise is also superior, or at any rate equal, to the same department of the Classical Dictionary, in proof of which (to say nothing of a hundred other instances) we may compare the two accounts of " Italy ;" the one is slight and !lovenly; the other diligent, concise, and definite, both with regard to its descriptions and its localities. It is, however, on what may be termed the philosophical portion of the work, that we are most inclined to lay stress. Here the author is in his clement. He not only gives in de tail the most favourite Homeric and Virgilian le, `ends, but endeavours, in most cases with success, to trace them upwards to their fountain head. He gives their probable origin, speculates on their bearing, separates the fictitious from the historical portion, throws light upon their obscurities, and simplifies. all that is apparently complex about them. In this respect he is another Palmphatus (though without his prosing and prolix explanations).. Should the student wish for proof's of what we have hole advanced, we would direct his attention to the author's account of the Pigmies, • which, though in sketch, will furnish him, we conceive, with almost all that is known or recorded on the subject. We may add that the book is a great d es id era t um to a scholar's library, - as it is manifestly the result of unwearied diligence, clear conception, and long acquaintance with the Classics. THE FINE ARTS. 3IOIKEYANA, OR MEN IN MINIATURE. LONDON: 182 S. Mr. Landseer, in his present humourous Etch ings, has followed up Lord Monboddo's plau sible notion that all men were originally monkeys, but that in process of time they wore out their tails. He has here, however, very judiciously restored them that appendage, which of course improves their appearance, while it detracts little, if at all, from their resemblance to man. The first engraving, entitled " I hope I don't i n t ru d e ," is a witty and characteristic satire on pert med dling coxcombs, who are deeply acquainted with every one's business but their own, and Are supe rior to the monkey—solely in the profounder depth of their stupidity. The second is a hit at politicians : it exhibits one of these quidnuncs (for au excellent illustration of whom see Murphy's farce of the " Apprentice") busily engaged reading the official accounts of the Battle of Navarin, and speculating in spec tacles on its immediate and remote results. There is a silly self-satisfied look about this monkey politician, that brings his whole character at once before the eye ; and, except that he has the advantage of beauty, we know of nothing to distinguish him from the exceedingly intelligent class of bipeds he is meant to represent. His Lord Burleigh-like shake of the head is truly characteristic. The third etching represents that interesting portion of humanity, a village pedagogue, who holds a blubbering young monkey by the collar, with the manifest intention of driving knowledge into him through the medium of that invaluable instrument, the birch. The appearance of' the schoolmaster, with the pen behind his ear, and his quaint coat tails, floating in ample luxuriance behind him, is appropriate, without being exaggerated : his countenance, in particular, expresses the precise quantum of intelligence we should expect to meet with in a country school master. In the fourth etching, Mr. Landseer aims his satire at the turf; the picture, however, is not sufficiently intelligible, not even with the assistance of the motto; which is . affixed to it, we presume, upon the good old principle of the Greek artists, who were in the habit (and not Without reason) of inforrning the spectators by lines written underneath, of the nature and qua . lity of their paintings ; least • peradventure a cow might be mistaken for a castle, a man for a monkey, or an ostrich for a summer-house. 'With this single exception, we have nothing to urge against, but a great deal to say in praise of, Mr. La n daser's Monkeyana. The humour is broad certainly, but in this age of unna tural excitement, what more delicate style of wit has a chalice of success ? Our modern wags, in the superior quality of their facetious ness, have long since given th e go -b y to suc h poor insipid wits as Addison, Cougreve, Far quhar, and Sheridan, who had nothing but na ture to recommend them ; Mr. Land :leer gives into this preva ili ng taste, not however obsequi ously, but with just enough spirit to please the admirers of the modern, without disgusting those of the old school of humour. THE LORD CHANCELLOR. Mr. Colnaghi has published a very spirited liken ess o f L or d L yn dh urst in his robes, as Lord High Chancellor of England. The acute discernment so characteristic of his Lordship's countenance, blended with an air of arch shrewdness; thinly disguised by a grave, yet familiar expression, is happily caught by the artist, and as happily conveyed by the engraver. Perhaps the expression of the mouth is not suf ficiently pourtrayed, the lips wanting that under tone of vivacity and smirking cheerfulness so' ha- CUMBERLAND'S BRITISH THEATRE. We have been greatly pleased with a numbel of this useful little publication, containing tilt , " Highland Reel," a farce by O'Keefe, headed with a frontispiece of Miss Foote, in the cha racter of doggy McGilpin. There is mucl softness and delicaq of finish in this engrav ing, though, as far as resemblance goes, it is fai from being complete. This, however, is the painter's defect ; the engraver has done ample justice to his work, for nothing can exceed Hit. wavy richness of the feathers, or the freedom and natural grace with which the tartan embroider\ is executed. DURHAM ELECTION. (F 1631 OUR, Owl; cORKESPONDENT.) DURHAM, JAN. 2G.—The rumour that there would be a county meeting called, relative to the Repre sentation of the Palatinate, amounts to nothing. Had the thing been seriously contemplated, there can be no doubt that the local papers this week would have contained a requisition for that purpose. Indeed, as I stated in my letter of this day se'nnight, every thing goes to spew that Mr. Russell, of Brancepeth Castle, will be Mr. Lambton's succes sor. The Newcastle Chronicle, of this day, says— " We have every reason to believe that the report which has been in circulation, of its being the de sire or intention of a Certain Noble Baron (Durham) to influence the ensuing Election for the county of Durham, is without foundation. We believe the result will bear us out in the assertion that his Lordship will not, in even the most remote way, do any thing to cause even a suspicion that be enter tains a desire to interfere 1-7ith the independence of the county." How has it happened, by the bye, that the Hon. Ex-Member, in his Address to the Durham Freel:olders, signs his name John George Lambton, on the 18th instant, when the patent creating him a Baron appears in the Gazette, with the date of January 17th ?

SERGEANT The COMMON cause why the verdict obtain e d by the plaintiffs o should not be s e t aside and a 1 action was t r i e d a t the last Sittingsentered. ts hv The at Guildhall be fore Lord T en t er d en . It was brough t by the plain tiffs, as assignees of a person named Collier, a bank rupt, to recover the sum of 1411. received by the de fendant, after the time when Collier had cor nin i t t e ,d an act of bankruptcy. Lord TENTERDEN---Take a rule to show cause. CRAY C. GUTILERIDGE. In this case, which was tried at the Sittings after Michaelmas Term, before Lord Tenterden, tae plaintiff sought to recover the amount of certain de posit money paid to the defendant, an auctioneer, under the following circumstances :—The defendant had put up to auction, at Garraway's, an estate belong ing to a Mr. Edwards,and the plaintiffbecame thepur chaser of it at the sum of 1,1801. The deposit money on the purchase Wag ?,261,, for which sum the a. pl ; .nt.- gave a cheque to thedefemlant ) who immedi ately handed it over to Mr. Edwards, Wild Ni , as pre sent at the sale, and whom the plaintiff knew to be the vender of the estate. An agreement between the plaintiff and defendant was signed in the usual form, by which it was stipulated to complete the purchase on a day named, Subsequently, However, a defect was discovered in the vender's title, and on the part of die plaintiff a notice was giver) to the de fendant as auctioneer, not to paw over the deposit money to the plaintiff. He had, however ) already paid it over; and at the trial it was contended on his part that such payment exonerated him from all liability to the plaintiff. Lord Tenterden, however, directed a nona:it, on the ground that the defendant, as stakeholder between the parties, ought to have retained the money in his hands until the purchase was ready for completion, or at all events until all objections to the title were removed. Mr. FOLLETT now applied for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, Although his Lordship (Lord Ten had terden) on Lie tr.;a..a.;if - great stress on the cir cumstance of the defendant having signed the agree ment, yet he (Mr. Follett) should submit that the defendant had riot by that act rendered himself per sonally- liable.; It had been considered in some ease: that an auctioneer was a stakeholder, but in the pre sent case the defendant had been employed on the part of the vender only, and did not act as an agent of both parties. He was exclusively the agent of the vender, and the mere receipt of the deposit money did not make him a stake-holder. Lord TENTERDLS—Iie may be an agent of the vender, and yet a stakeholder. In this ease the de fendant sold the estate and received the deposit money. He arid the plaintiff signed an agreement, the teems of which were—. We do hereby mutually agree to complete the purchase." &c. Here the de fendant, acting for his principal, signed the contract in such terms as rendered it personally binding upon himself.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. f 26. MINGLE V. 30WILLIAM. This was an action of libel, which it was alleged was contained in a letter• written by the defendaotto the Committee of the Battle-bridge and Holloway road Company, of which the plaintiff was clerk and agent. The case was tried a few days since, before the Lord Chief Justice, at Guildhall, when a verdict was returned for the plaintiti.—Damages 40s. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, on the part of the defend ant, now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground of a misdirection on the part of the Judge.--sale granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 26. HALL V. LONGMAN AND OTIIERS. This was an action of libel, brought by Mr. Hall, a teacher of languages, against Messrs. Longman, Rees, and Co.. the celebrated publishers of Pater noster-row, for publishing a letter of the late Dr. Jones, purporting to be an exposure of the Hamil tonian system, in which the writer, speaking of the plaintiff, said that he had lately attended a lecture given by him, and then proceeded thus :—" The lecturer did not want talents, nor did he Want impu dence : he wanted nothing but honesty ; for the whole of what he called his system was taken from a little work published by inc, called Analogi(c La time," &c. The trial took place in the sittings after last Term, before the Lord Chief Baron, and the jury found a verdict for the defendants. Mr. BROUGHAM now moved the Court for a rule to set aside the verdict, and grant a new trial, on the ground of misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge. His Lordship, in addressing the jury, said, " The sting of the libel is the imputing to the plain tiff the want of honesty ; undoubtedly this is a harsh phrase taken by itself, but it is one which may be explained; and the way in which it is explained on the other side is this—they say it is not an imputa tion of dishonesty in the common sense of the word, but merely one of plagiarism. It is for you to say whether or not the plaintiff is entitled to any da mages. There is no evidence of his having incurred any injury through this publication : it does not ap pear :that he is the poorer or the less esteemed in consequence of it." The tendency of the latter part of this address, the Learned Counsel contended, was, by saying that no evidence, &hors the libel, had been given of damage incurred by the plaintiff, to mislead the jury into the supposition that such evidence was necessary. Mr. Baron HULLOCK—In case of libel, does not the law infer damage from the libel itself ? Mr. BROUGHAM—That is precisely, my Lord, the ground of my abjection to his Lordship's charge. By saying that no evidence of special damage had been given, the jury would be naturally induced to infer that such evidence was necessary to warrant them in giving a verdict for the plaintiff. This is different from a case of oral slander. The LORD CHIEF BARON.—Did I not put it to the jury to say, whether or not this was more than a mere charge of plagiarism Mr. BROUGHAM.—Your Lordship said that that was the way in which it was explained on the other side. But, with great respect, it appears to rue, that even a charge of plagiarism may be so made as to constitute a libel. Mr. Baron GARROW—Can any person understand an imputation to be cast upon a man's moral charac ter by this :—I ho to hear a lecture ; the lecturer stands up behind his desk and brings to the Per formance of his task talents, confidence, and a know ledge of his subject. More than this is net re quired, nor can we conceive what we have to d° with his honesty on such an occasion. Well, I say he possesses those requisite qualities wh ich I ha ve mentioned, but adds that he wants hon est y , not in the ordinary sense of the word, but the honesty or candour to acknowledge that he I; inde bted for that part of his system, for which he is so much ap plauded, to a work of mine , from Which it was borrowed. Now, was it not a fair question for lire jury to determine w hether such a mere charge of want of candour as that entitled the plaintiff to any damages ? Mr. Baron HULLOCK—It is very true an impu tation of a want of honesty is a libel, but it may be so qualified by other expressions as to prevent any person from inferring from it that the party is really dishonest. So, to charge a man Ivith being a felon Mr. BROUGHAM-4 apprehend that a charge of plagiarism may be so made as to amount to a very serious imputation upon a man's reoral character. As, for instance, if I charge a man with taking a book of mine, on which I bestowed great labour and time, and publishing it with his name in the title-page, I know no more foul imputation to cast upon hi:, honesty or moral character,- It was with a view to rescue his character from a charge of foul plagiarism like thiS that the plaintiff, Mr. Hall, brought the present action. It was imputed to him, that he had stolen his principles from Dr. Jones's book, without acknowledgment, whereas he had ita fact published these principles many years before Dr. Jones'3 boolz was written. And believing that to be a libel on his character, we now apply for a new trial, on the ground that the jury were miglea into the belief that evidence ought to . have beets given of special damage incurred by the plaintiff. 311.. Baron CT'Anßow.—Taking the whole of the charge together, I confess I can find ne fault with the advice given by my Lord Chief Baron to the jury. I think it was a very proper advice, and veil properly adopted by them. The rest of the Court concurred iu th; , _; opinicT, and the rule was refused.

ORIGIN OF THERMAL SPRINGS.--It ‘' % ( .l long the received opinion among geologist:, that . watnl springs derived their heat from the presence of pyntei in the soil ; but there is every reason for co ncluding that ther e phenomena owe their origin to a central fire or h; e 3 ben ea th the crus t of the earth. Mr. BAKETv.ELL is of op i n i on that the thermal waters, found among the vallies of th e Alps, originate from the subterranean files which fitet elevated these enormous masses of rock by volcanic agency. But in the south-east departme n t s of France, Clermont ; Auvergne, evidences lc" of where volcanic ag ency h as left unques tionable its existence, both as to the nature of the soil, and the general face of the country, warm spring_: arc very common. It is therefore natural to infer that., although the period is very remote at which these volcani , operations were in activity, the original cause of such agency is still in existence. The hot springs in Iceland,.. the temperature of which is, in one spot, upwards of 200 Fahrenheit, are situate in the vicinity of one of the mu ;• active volcanoes in the world, and affords an addition a l proof, that these two natural phenomena have their origin in the same source— permanent mbterranean firce.
