The first contains the most miscellaneous collection of articles, and is chiefly made up of lively and vivacious contributions. " A Modern Pythagorean," for instance, is once again in his glory, and puts forth in his anecdote, " The Man with the Mouth," gleams of humour, and even fancy, worthy of his former admirable piece of diabolism, the " Barber of Gottingen." " Letters from the Peninsula," the " Battle of Salamanca," throw no new lights upon the subject; nevertheless, they are pleasant and anecdotical. The following in cident may, perhaps, amuse our readers : . - I will here give you a somewhat curious anecdote, on the truth of which you may rely. Stimulated by that curiosity which is rattler a striking feature of my idiosyn crasy, I rode up to a neighbouring eminence to observe the motions of our own army, which had already commenced retiring, as well as those of the enemy, who, from the oc casional pushing forward of their skirmishes, seemed intent on some further operations. On this height were several officers, one of whom was seated, while his horse was held by an orderly dragoon, and the others standing around him. I had approached within a few yards of them before I ob served that the principal object in the group was Lord Wellington. In a moment my attention was arrested. Ile was at luncheon, and in the act of adding mustard to a slice of meat which had just been deposited en his plate, when the following colloquy took place. " The enemy are moving, riy Lord," said one of the staff officers to his commander, already busily engaged in the office of mastication. " Very well," replied his Lordship; " take the glass, Somerset, and tell me what they seem to be about ;" at the same time continuing his meal with every appearance of nonchalance. The officer did so for about a minute. " I think they are extending to their left, my Lord." " The devil they are !" exclaimed Lord Wellington, springing in an instant to his feet; " give me the glass quickly.". - He took it, and for a short space continued observing the motions of the enemy. " Come, 1 think this will do at last !" he ezelaimed. " Ride off instantly, and tell Clinton and Leith to return as quickly as possible to their former ground." In a moment all his staff were in motion, Lord Welling ton mounted his horse, and I returned to my regiment, which, as our division was intended to form the rear of the retreat, had not yet begun to move. Such was the promptitude and rapidity with which a deci,ion affecting the fate of nations was formed by the master mind of our great commander. The Review of " Mordaunt's Aristophanes" is slight and sketchy ; . indeed the most valuable • portion about it is its extracts, which are fraught with a certain broad humour not unlike the satire of Peter Pindar. " A Wedding at School" is a love-tale, and as good as such tales are apt to be, i.e. somewhat trashy. Luckily, however, it is short. " Memoir of the late Henry Fuseli " is a very supe rior article : it is a temporate and elaborate analysis of the mind of that distinguished, though over-rated artist—(the character of whose imagination is some what questionable)—and possesses just enough bio graphical incident to render it generally entertaining. " The Letter on the Danger of Roman Catholic Emancipation," is, considering that it is on the wrong side of the question—much more temperate than might have been expected. Its appeal, however, to the English nation, in which it strives to excite their nearly extinct apprehensions on the subject of Papal Supremacy, is absurd and out of place. PART 11. " Lockhart's Life of Burns" is the chief feature in the present number : it is a long rambling disser tation on his merits, curiously diversified in point of style ; here terse and vigorous, there prosing and in animate; but throughout lavish of eulogium. The introductory matter, explaining the cause and nature of Burns' popularity in Scotland, is neatly written. " The Marquis of Londonderry's Narrative of the War in Spain and Portugal" is too indiscriminate in its praise to be of much value as a commentary ; it is however worth reading as a digest of facts. " The Omnipresence of the Deity" is a severe and somewhat contemptuous analysis of Mr. Montgo mery's Poem on that subject; it is too harsh in its strictures to deserve the praise of impartiality, thought in the main not devoid of truth. Had it praised more, and censured less, it would have been nearer the mark. The " Ruins of Babylon" contain some passable Magazine:Poetry. On the whole the num ber is a good one. THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE. What there is in this number is good, but un• luckily there is not enough of it. We would par ticularly call our readers' attention to the very service Ale and ably digested article on " Climbing Boys ;" it takes up the subject in a spirited and praiseworthy manner. " Modern Italian Comedy" is also a clever analysis of two of the most popular comedies of Da Rossi, an author who, though little known in England, flourished in Italy towards the close of the last century, and was in no slight re pute for the whim and spirit of his dramas. " The Adventurer's Story" is amusing, and far beyond the usual order of magazine tales. The hero is a young Englishman, whose love for romantic adventure renders him the subject of a quiz at Venice by one or two of his satirical countrymen. This is well con trived, but we will not mar the reader's enjoyment, by detailing to him the plot of this farcical little extravaganza ; he must procure the Magazine, and judge for himself. LONDON MAGAZINE. Without any particular pretensions to originality, whether in criticism, incident, or in the style and tone of its essays, the London Magazine has this month put forward a sensible and entertaining num ber. The first article, a Review of Lockhart's Life of Burns, is penned throughout in a high and indeed somewhat inflated strain of eulogium, towards that first-rate Scotch poet. It calls him " the greatest man that ever lived,"—we presum e of course in literature—a sweeping assertion which the Reviewer will find it somewhat difficult to bear out. His de nunciations on the meanness of what he calls the Scottish literati, who it appears, resolved in a body, to cut Burns, because he overshadowed them by his greatness, are truly extravagant, and border closely on the grotesque. " But though Burns was just the man who was wanting to give a beam of glory to hi s country, and though he came- at the particular time, and found an introduction to those who had, as it were, the keeping of the country's honour, they had the folly, the cold-blooded cruelty, to throw him away; and however they may palter and shuffle, and equivocate about the matter, they threw him away for this little, and truly dirty reason—that he was of nobler mind, and mightier powers than themselves. They may lecture, and they may lie; but the brand is on them, and all the labour even of their viscous tongues will never be able to lick it off.—lt is hard that this should be the case; and that we should write it, or read it, or certify its truth, is gall and wormwood; but it stands upon the record, and no pigment will hide it, no tool will scrape it, and no detergent will bleach it away. They may build monu ments to their own vanity ; and they may carve upon them what they please ; but the words that will, in the judg ae n s d t r o)'e carouse, by ' ment of every honest man, branden an d bl ac k en over th e whole, an ungr a t e f u l country ; "— an d ll);1 4 ) ," meet" Destroyed ma k e spee ches—and they who battened upo n the bard in his m i sery, may he foremost and loudest—and they may . thum p t h e table at his name, roar out his songs, quaff till they ree l ; b ut in the midst ' of all this, " time fingers of a man's hand will com e forth, and write upon the wall' words of sorrow and of reproach, which will be eternal as the name and the songs of the bard. Aye, and when years and ages shall have rolled away, when the dust shall have been gathered to the du s t, and not a tittl e o f th e Edinburgh literati, during the ten fatal years, from 1786 to 1796, shall lie found even in the limbo of waste paper, the memorial and the execration of this act of slow moral poisoning will liJe as fresh as ever. This is stron g l anguage , a nd is not, unluckily, borne out by fact. Burns on his first appearance at Edinburgh was received, even according to Mr. Lockhart, with enthusiasm ; Dr. Blacklock, Blair, Dugald Stuart, Mackenzie, and a hundred others welcomed him with open arms, and if a series of extravaganeies on his part somewhat alienated their good will, surely they were not to blame? Mr. Lock hart has recorded a curious anecdote of his insulting behaviour towards Dr. Blair, which, if true, would be fully sufficient to account for, if not to justify, the conduct of the Edinburgh Literati. " The Mystic School" is a solemn quiz on German Me. taphvsics, whose spirit, according to the writer, has of late transmigrated into the pages of the Edin burgh Review. " The Northern Frontier of Tur key," though by no means novel in information is, just at this period, a useful and geographical article. The remaining contributions are of the usual calibre, with the exception of one, entitled " Thefts from the Poets," which evinces some. amusing research. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. This is a light, showy, and superficial number, with plenty of anecdote, and the least possible quantum of thought. The subjects are of no im portance, whether in point of novelty or intelligence; but are handled uniformly with grace. " The Phi losophy of Clubs" gives some agreeable details of these old fashioned convivial societies ; among others there is an anecdote of the never-to-be for gotten Mr. Canning, which though it possesses no thing of particular interest in itself, is yet important from its connexion with one of the most enlarged and variously accomplished statesmen of modern times. Mr. Canning, it seems, i n his earlier years, was in the habit of frequenting a club held at the corner of Bond-street, and entitled the Clifford street Society. " At the Clifford street Society Canning generally took what, in modern phraseology, is called the " liberal side" of these questions; and he entered into its discussions with the ardour and animation of his usual temperament. Can ! fling's earliest prepossessions are well known to have in dined to this side ; but he evidently considered the society rather as a school of rhetorical exercise, where he might acquire the use of his weapons, than a thrum, where a serious profession of opinions, and a consistent adherence to them, could be fairly expected of hint. I remember tieing there, when the question fir debate was, ' the jus tice and expediency of resuming the ecclesiastical property of France.' Before the debate began, Canning had taken some pains to ascertain on which side the majority of the members seemed inclined to speak, and, finding that they were generally in favour of the resumption, he expressed his fears that the unanimity of sentiment would spoil the discussion, and volunteered to speak against it. He did so, and it was a speech, I well recollect, of considerable power, chiefly i❑ reply to the opener, who, in a set dis course of sonic length, bad asserted the revocable condi tions of the property of the church, which being created, he said, by the state, remained ever after at its disposition. Canning denied the proposition, that ecclesiastical property was the creature of the state. He contended, that though it might be so in a new Government, yet speaking histori cally, the great as well as lesser ecclesiastical fiefs were coeval with the crown of France, frequently strong enough to maintain fierce and not unequal conflicts with it, and certainly not in their origin emanations front its bounty. The church, he said, came well dowered to the state, who was now suing for a divorce, in order to plunder her pin money. He contended that the church property stood on the same basis, and ought to be protected by the same sanctions as private property. It was originally, he said, accumulated from the successive donations with which a pious benevolence sought to enrich the fountains, from which spiritual co►ufort was to flow to the wretched, the poor, the forsaken. He drew an energetic sketch of Mica beau, the proposer of the measure, by whose side, he re marked, the worst characters iu history, the Cieons, the Catilines; the Cetheguses of antiquity, would brighten into virtue. He said that the character of the law-giver tainted the law. It was • proffered to the National Assembly by hands hot and reeking from the cells of sensuality and vice ; it came from a brain infl smed and distended into frenzy by habitual debauchery. These are, of course, but faint sketches of this very early specimen of Canning as a ! speaker. I despair of recalling a single trait of the humour and the irony with which he delighted his auditors. It is sufficient to observe that he displayed nearly the same powers of pleasantry and of humour, which in a maturer period of his career have so often enlivened the dulness of debate, and softened the exaspera tions of party. He was, indeed, less rapid, and more measured in his elevation; sometimes impeded in flow, probably from too fastidious a selection of words ; but it was impossible not to predict that at no very distant period he would rise into higit distinction as a Parliamentary speaker. He was then the most handsome man about the town; and his fine countenance glowed, as he spoke, with every sentiment which he uttered. It was customary, during the debates at the Clifford-street senate, for pots of porter to be introduced by way of refreshment. Canning, in his eloquent tirade againft Mirabeau, handled the peculiar style of the Count's oratory with great severity. The president had, during this part of Canning's speech, given a signal for a pot of porter, which had been brought in and placed before him. It served Canning for an illustration. c Sir,' said he, ' much has been said about the gigantic powers of Mirabeau. Let us not be carried away by the false jargon of his philosophy, or imagine that deep political wisdom resides in tumid and decorated diction. To the steady eye of a sagacious criticism, the eloquence of Mirabeau will appear to be as empty and vapid as his patriotism. It is like the beverage that stands so invitingly before you—foam and froth at the top, heavy and muddy within!' " The 4 Dying Improvisatere," is among the most graceful and finished specimens of Mrs. Hemans's poetry; it is full of chastened feeling. " The Two Dining Rooms" is an amusing narrative of a fashion able young man, whose hobby it was to have his small dining room enlarged ; the consequences are well detailed, as long as his " Refectory" was limited in dimensions, he could fill it with the choicest wits of the age ; when it increased in size he was compelled to make up with Aldermen, &c. as a large vessel is filled with lead for ballast. " The influence of Books on the progress of Manners," is entertaining but common place, and sets out on a very trite and obvious axiom. " Alfadhel Alderamy," by the author of the "Rejected Addreses," is worthy of him: the sketch of Time in the wilderness, washing his scythe in a small pool, is forcible and striking. The re maining articles all, more or !ess, deserve a perusal. BOLSTER'S QUARTERLY MAGAZINE. Our limits prevent us saying more of this im proving periodical, than that it is carried on with unabated spirit, apparently by a set of aspiring young wits of Cork. It deserves every encouragement if only for its ingenious attempt to embody the tradi tion of its country, in a series of light, amusing, and characteristic narratives. THE ORIENTAL HERALD. The number for this month is excellent, con taining many articles of an important and in teresting nature. The Review of Mr. Rickhard's new work on India is well written, and bears the stamp of a mind perfectly conversant with the subject. The description of Astrakhan contains useful information at this critical juncture of affairs in the East. The storm at Madras on the 6th of December, is minuttly noticed in this number, and unfortunately corroborates the account which we gave exclusively some week ago of the destruc tion of five vessels in the roads. We have no room for extracts to-day.

Miss havi ng t o per f orm a t Covent gSaerii..tiveint.ENs w as not present, On Tuesday evening, the 29th instant, a Grand Concert was performed at the Assembly Room:, for the benefit of that excellent Institution, the Bath United Hospital. The room was crowded at an early hour, and a rich treat was anticipated from the known talents of the performers (who generously came forward gratuitously on this occasion, under the direction of Messrs. LODER and Wninsou ; the selectinnOiTn;:ic — Was excellent. The great attraction of th e evening was the delightful singing of Mr. MANNERs, in a ballad of his own composition, and the admirable perform ance o f Mi ss Iliscox (late pupil t o Mr. NRATE) on the Grand Piano-forte. Her execution elicited great applause. There was also a duet for the Harp and Violin, by Miss Iticitanos and Mr. LODER. Miss R. did her best, and LODFII enchanted us with his chaste and beautiful tones.

The Haymarket Theatre is under going some judicious alterations. The whole of the inte rior is to be re-built—the boxes in the form of a horse shoe. The stage-doors are to be dispensed with, and stage-boxes erected to supply their place. A new farce is l • forthcoming at ury. THE MURDER AT POLSTEAD. (From the Suffolk Herald.) Corder has all along exhibited so great a reckless ness of conduct—so unfeeling and wretched a heart —that were not sonic partially acquainted witli him as he really was, we should have thought his con duct incompatible with human nature : he has taken beavor (a sort of lunch) with the men in the barn, and near the very spot where his victim was de posited ; and . he was in the house of the father of Maria Marten two days after the murder, and con versed with the family, and with the child of the deceased ; he has been observed to have a trepidating hand, and continued downcast look; of his appear ance, though altered, they took little noti ce , reason ably attrib u ti ng it t o his - Own illness, to the recent deaths in his family, or to any cause but the real one. The accounts he fur a long time gave of his victim were distinct and consistent with probability : he stated to the father, two days after the murder, that the deceased was then at Ipswich, but that before they could be married, Maria must live a certain time at the place ; he said he had procured a com fortable situation for her with a Miss Rowland (sister to a schoolfellow of his), with whom he said she was going to Yarmouth for the benefit of her health. It was from here that the prisoner informed the father they went to London, where he said they were married, and that from thence they proceeded to the Isle of Wight, where he expressed his inten tion of taking a farm as soon as he could get one. Among the excuses he offered for Maria's not writ ing was, that she had a bad hand; he subsequently said she had written, and affected to wonder they had not received a letter from her, hut he turned it off by saying he supposed " it was lest in crossing the water!" The report of Gardiner's evidence on the inquest, relative to " cautions" given to Corder, mentioned likewise by the police-officer, requires some explana tion ; it was not, as the public interpreted and the papers imagined, a caution relative to the murder, from any knowledge the witness possessed of it, but caution to abandon his unsanctified opinions and dis solute habits, for that they would assuredly conduct him to a premature grave. This witness was some what intimate with the prisoner; he had several times inquired " what he had done with poor Maria Marten," for he supposed he had made away with her, but the prisoner said she was no doubt living with in London ; and subsequently he said she was living with him in the Isle of \\Tight. The let ters that Gardiner had received from him since he left home were dated, the one the 30th of Septem ber, and the other past the middle of the ensuing month. He directed his letters in answer to "6, Gray's-inn-terrace;" and this is the clue, we believe, the officers possessed in apprehending the prisoner. We are now to draw the attention of the reader to matters that will more truly develope the real cha racter of the prisoner; to the elucidation of which we are obliged to tread over the most delicate ground,and shall enter shortly into the history of the unfortunate woman. We learn that Maria Marten was born in July, 1801, and had been brought up with her father at Polstead, where she re ! ceived an education fully or superior to her situa tion in life. Possessed of more than ordinary per sonal advantages—a pretty face and fine form and figure, united to at least some education—it was little wonder that she was beset by admirers, and that an artless and inexperienced girl should impru dently fix her affections; flattery is not the least ruinous vice that is planted in the breast of man, and she is not the first that has to date her ruin from its fatal effects. By a young man, whose name we forbear mentioning, she had a child, which is dead, and lies buried in Polstead church-yard. The connexion with this young man afterwards ceased, and she became acquainted with —, .Esq. by whom she had the child above alluded to, and which is now about three and a half years old ; to this latter gentleman, the first child has been erroneonsly attri buted : of him, we can only speak in terms of the highest approbation of his conduct ; he was con tinually in the habit of writing to Maria Marten, and transmitting her cash for herself and child ; his let ters express the goodness of his heart, and although he chides an error, it is such reproof as a grateful heart would thankfully receive ; and his conduct throughout has been that of a man and a Christian. This sentiment is sincere; and,if properly taken, we cannot express it stronger. Some time since, this gentleman transmitted a 51. note for Maria Marten ; this letter, it has subsequently transpired, was intercepted by Corder, and the money applied to his own purposes. A communication was made to the gentleman, expressing surprise that no letter or cash had been received from him. On this he sent one half of a second .5/.note,and kept the second half till he obtained an acknowledgment of the receipt of the first. He then directed his inquiries to the Gene ral Post-office for the first note, and through the vigilance of the Postmasters, it was traced to Wm. Corder, who had cashed it at a bank at a town close by, and endorsed it with the name of his bro ther ! Partly through entreaty, partly through threat, poor Maria Marten was induced to assert an acknowledgment of the money to the aforesaid gen tleman, for the purpose of exculpating Corder. This threat was made while Maria Marten was at .4_•;tul bury. She for a long time, in tears, hesitated to make so shocking an acknowledgment, but he at length drew a pistol, and swore if she did not he would shoot himself; the poor girl, reasonably enough alarmed, necessarily consented. This gen tleman, it is to be feared, went off witla a bad im pression of the poor girl's honesty and veracity; but we are happy in knowing that he has been subse quently undeceived. He met Corder in the streets of London ; and Corder told the gentleman he was going to the Isle of Wight, and should take his child along with him ; his account was so unsatis factory, that he resolved on•transmitting no more cash till he had discovered the whole truth of the flatter. 'We now come to a crime, which our contempo raries seem not to have heard of, and it is necessary to give our readers some pledge of our accuracy.— We refer them to the father of Maria Marten, and the grandfather of the child we have before alluded to, from whose lips we procured the revolting state ment. It will scarcely be credited, that this monster contemplated, and more than once attempted secretly the life of the young unsuspecting boy, the son of the gentleman to whom we have alluded, and yet there is too much reason to suspect that such was the fact. The father and mother of poor Maria Marten, whose characters, we are told, will bear the I strictest scrutiny, are the persons from whom we di rectly receive the fact; their situation in life is humble, but the whole country for miles round where the old man's occupation calls him, ratifies ibis asser tion, and we implicitly, to the very letter of this narrative, believe him. Daring the absence of Mar ten from home, Corder came to Marten's, and pre tended to be very attached and friendly to the child, and he offered the little unsuspecting boy a fig; the child, as if by Divine interference, refused it. and the grandmother said, that if the fig were opened, and the child could taste it, it might then like it. When the fig was out open, something in the shape of a pill was found in it; the mother tvirOe no notice to Corder of this, fearing he ,void resort to more violent measures. A short tune after he met the child, and offered it a baked pear, which the child refused too, and the grand mother (suspicious) said " she would lay it tent Poo7 sibly th e c hild wou ld eat i t when the uneasine ss h e expresse d that Ole child should eat it in his presen ce , on this awl the former occasion, would have see,nqhisd to evince guilt; when h e • was gone, the grandmother, on cutting the near, found a pill, like th e fi rs t, towards " the bloom," or gone; ' the top of the pea r . It is not improbable that h ad the child eaten these, the result would h ave b een fatal. Had the grandfather or grandmother thou g h t of it, the analysing 4 ; e hse pi aelhitilnst;miight have been di scovere d by but uninformed as they were, and intimate with Corder, we cannot wonder that they were directly thrown away. The grave from which the poor victim has been taken is still open ; the right layer of the barn had over it at least straw six inches deep, and the depth of the grave by our admeasurement, somewhat less than 18 inches; the picking up of a barn floor— solid as a public road—is no mean task for a com mon labourer; and it serves only to show the brute like and insensible manner in which the nionstcr proceeded to his work. If dug before the murder, it proclaims the deed to he of a most deliberate and premeditated nature ; and if dug while the mostmangled remains remorseless and beside him, unpardonableit exhibits tb guilt. Sun day the number assembled to view the spot was im ' mense ; and the shot from the gun, which he is sup posed first to have discharged at his victim, are all of them cut from the side of the barn, and treated, with every other relic that has the slightest connec tion, as great curiosities; holes have been cut on all sides of the barn to get a sight of the grave; and to prevent further mischief, the barn-doors have been judiciously thrown open, and the grave and barn are now equally open to inspection. While the corn was thrashing in the barn, the man was annoyed by a dreadful stench from the right layer, but as this is sometimes the case from a nuinber of dead rats, no notice was taken of it at the time. The immediate relatives of the unfortunate Mara Marten now surviving, are her father and step mother (her own mother having died when very young), a sister (a good-looking girl), and two bro thers, the issue of the father's last marriage, and the interesting little boy, her son, by the gentleman alluded to above.
