No case of interest came on in this Court up to the time of our Paper going to press. COURT OF KING'S BENCII. SMUGGLING. The SOLICITOR-GENCRAE moved the judgment of the Court on Stephen Hart alias John Scott, who was convicted of attempting to bribe two sea men of the Ramilieg, which was engaged on the preventive service off Romney, to permit the land ing of a cargo of smuggled spirits. It appeared that the bribe which the defendant offered to the seamen, was a suit of clothes each, and .ss. for every tub of spirits landed. The defendant being called upon to state what he had to say in his defence, positively denied that he had attempted to bribe the seamen. He said they had come to him and asked him, if be knew any one who wanted to land smuggled goods, for that they were tired of the service and wished to desert. Mr. Justice BAILEY pronounced the judgment of the Court, which was, that the defendant should be confined for four months in the gaol of St. Au gustin, near Canterbury, and kept to hard labour.

The Secretary announced, that at the ensuing Anniversary Meeting, a proposition would be made to pur chase the valuable collection of Sir .1. SMITH, their late lamented President. Again has it been the painful duty of the public journals to record the death of another gentleman, by the running away of the horses in a Bristol coach, while several individuals were more or less injured by the melancholy accident. Should any of the latter sue tl. Proprietors for damages, they must expect to pay dearly for their negligence and inattention to the public safety. We would ask, why was not that coach equipped with Lieutenant Cooi's Patent Life Preserver, which has been so long tried and well proved, even to a stage coach ? To our knowledge it was running to a Brighton coach so long ago as December last, and is now running to the same coach (the Royal Patriot), from the Bolt-in- Tun, Fleet-street. The respectable Proprietor, Mr. GRAY, had been. proving the adaptation of the invention to the end proposed, by pulling up four fine horses from full speed eight or ten times, in Portland-place, just before we inspected the coach thus rendered truly safe, on Friday last, and we sincerely hope the Public will show its satis faction at his laudable desire to study its security, at an expense to hisaself, by giving his Brighton Patriot that decided preference which his conduct so justly merits.

We understand that there is likely to be some interruption to the fustian trade, in consequence of a simul taneous demand by all the master dyers of a very con siderable advance in the price of dying : to which the manufacturers are not disposed to accede. We believe the journeymen dyers are also endeavouring to obtain an advance of wages; and there was yesterday a very numerous meet ing of them behind All Saints' Church, Chorlton-row, with the view of completing the union which at p►esent exists amongst them.—Manchester Mercury. On Saturday night, some miscreant decoyed an unfortunate girl into the Leen-yard, Red Lion-street, where be grosely ill-used her, and, after tearing her pockets away, threw her over a wall into a receptacle for filth, where, upon giving an alarm, she was found standisg up to her middle, and nearly suffocated. All the money she bad was Is. 6d. which the thief missed, as the girl kept it in her mouth.— Arottin9hani Mercury. , Yesterday morning, oetween two and three o'clock, the warehouses attached to the extensive wharfage of Messrs. JONES, HULL, and Co., Cornfactors, in Dale street, Old Wapping, were destroyed by fire. The damage done is very great, but the property was fully insured. During the conflagration a clump of bricks at the rear of the premises fell with a loud crash, and crushed two men so dreadfully, that they were carried to the hospital in a hopeless state. A man in Lathoin, in the employ of Lord SIELUERSDALE, a few weeks ago, sold his child, a floe girl, about eight years of age, to a party of itinerant tinkers or gipsics, for three guineas ; with which money his wife, it is said, bought a new cloak and I , ounei:. The affair coming to the ears of the steward, he, very properly threatened to appeal to the law if he did not immediately bring her back. This he attempted, but it was too late, for they had decamped. The man was, in consequence, taken before a Magistrate, and committed to take his trial for so unfeeling an act—Liverpool Mercury. EATING A NOISE.—A few nights ago, one of our townsmen having been solacing himself with a pipe and pot, was returning home in a state of beatitude. On entering Silver-street, however, his pleasing reveries were all at once dispersed by a rude shock, which he received from a keelman moving in a different direction. This was not to be borne, and a war of words, followed by symptoms of fistic prepar,nion, shewed the belligerent intentions of the opponents. But, instead of shewing _right the keel man shmed his tusks, with which he fastened on the un fortunate toper's nasal organ, and chewed away most un mercifully. The sufferer roared Out for the watch, by whose assistance the cannibal was at length choked off; yet not without having committed " Mat burglary" on the luckless nose in question, and leaving the marks of his grinders in the adjacent territories. —Hull Packet.

They also instinctively follow any band of hunters, or party of men travelling, espe cially in solitary places ; wheeling in circles high in the air, ready to pounce down on any game that may be shot and not instantly secured, or the carcase of any ox or other animal that may perish on the road. I have seen a large ox so dexterously handled by a flock of these voracious fowls, that in the course of three or four hours not a morsel except the bones and the skin (which they had contrived to disincarnate almost entire) remained for the hyaenas. In a field of battle in South America, no one ever buries the dead : the birds and beasts of prey re lieve the living of that trouble. Even the bones, except a few of the less manageable parts, find a sepulchre in the veracious maw of the liywna,—Note to Prinyle's Poems, LITERATURE. THE PRIMA DONNA :-A TALE OF TO-DAY. LONDON, 1628. ' This is as arrant a specimen of book-making, as we have ever had the ill-luck to wade through. We have in vain endeavoured to detect a glimpse of talent, or even of common sense, in its pages; every thing in the shape of intellect has been most dili gently omitted, and its place usurped by what Sheri dan aptly calls " the tinsel of French sentiment." We need scarcely inform our readers, that Maddle. Sontag is the heroine of this precious farrago, and is supposed,while attached to the Leipsic theatre, to have accidentally met with a young stranger—beautiful of course, and in disguise—who fell at one comprehen sive glance violently and incurably in love with her.: To this part of the story we do not in the least ob ject—having always steadily maintained an opinion that ten minutes is fully sufficient for all purposes of a rational and becoming courtship—bat we do protest most decidedly against that ungenerous spirit which panders to the worst appetites of the public—its love of scandal, its relish for personalities, and mixes up the reigning favourites of the day with a tissue of extravagant fictions, borrowed from Continental Newspapers. The plot of the " Prima Donna" is to the following effect. A stranger named Linden arrives at Leipsic on the very evening when Made moiselle Sontag (Rosignuola, as she is affectedly termed) is to perform at the Theatre. As a matter of course, the stranger goes to see her, and next day attends at her Levee, when he at once, without the slightest ceremony, vows that he cannot live with out her. She hints in reply, that she is equally combustible ; upon which they both begin talk ing about Goethe, Schiller, Milton, and Dante, — (pretty conversation this for two lovers the first time of meeting)—after this they pro ceed to business, she looks at him "with an ex pression of confidence beaming from her eyes" (a periphrastic mode of saying that she stares) and he very properly taking the hint, "imprints the first kiss of love on her unresisting lips." Unluckily however, a Lord Rainbow, an English nobleman, whose prototype exists neither in nature nor art, interferes with the Prima Donna's affections, and being detected by Linden in the very act of " doing the agreeable" is kicked down stairs, much to the surprise, and we may naturally conclude, dissatisfac tion of his Lordship. For this the English nobleman challenges the German stranger ; and accordingly they both meet in a wood near Leipsic, where, how ever, the morning's recreation is interrupted by a file of soldiers, who carry off both parties to the watch-house—we beg pardon, to a guard-house at the further end of the town. And now comes the upshot of the business. The German stranger is discovered to be no stranger at all, but the real uw doubted son of Duke Christian, who, after the usual exhibition of parental passion, consents to hie son's union with Mademoiselle Sontag, provided that she remai❑ unsullied after a two years' exposure to the temptations or Berlin, Paris, and London. The ordeal of the first two she passes unharmed; nor do we think that she is likely to suffer much from any extraordinary fascinations that she may meet with behind the scenes at the Opera. The novel, however, anticipates this conclusion—the season is represented as having passed—the period of temptation con cluded—virtue triumphant and fidelity rewarded. In a word, Mademoiselle Sontag is converted, by the apt interposition of a Parson, into the Princess Linden, and "declared the acknowledged participa tor of a Regal Crown." So ends this trash, which is kept in admi rable countenance by the style in which it is writ ten. Every page presents us with some novel absurdity in thought or diction. The mind of a great man, for instance, is turned into an elephant's trunk, after the following poetic fashion. " The mind of a great man is like the trunk of an elephant, which can tear a huge tree from its rooted founda tion and toss it into the air, or sportively pick up a feather as it float: in the passing breeze." We dare say Mr. Brougham's mind will be much gratified by this discovery. Speaking of the hero's face, the author says, that the heroine could discern "in his languishing dark eye the history of passionate feel ings subdued, though still cherished,' which is as much as to say that a man is dead though still alive; and reminds us of a certain theatrical critic of the (lay, who discovered in Mademoiselle Sontag's nose indications of considerable intelligence. Alluding to a person who is astonished at the use of some word or other, our novelist exclaims, " had he met a basilisk he could not have stared more wofully than he did at that monosyllable." A man staring at a monosyllable ! What a picture for Cruickshank After Prince Linden had given the "Prima Donna" -his first kiss, we are informed that " a new vista was expanded before his mental eye, and he luxu riated in its flowery prospect"—a most miraculous effect of a kiss. Further on, the author says "La Rosignuola was the key which had unwound all the melody of Linden's feelings, and he revelled in their joyous birth. His whole existence, the past, pre sent, and hereafter, was comprehended in that word. He took lodgings between her house and the theatre." Is not this last sentence a delicious sample of the bathos ? Mademoiselle Sontag bad unlocked the cup-board door in which Prince Linden's holiday feelings, together with his holiday clothes, were kept, therefore—he took lodgings between her house and the theatre. Speaking of a somewhat un ceremonious proposal that the shrinking and sen timental Prince had just made to the " Prima Donna," the novelist moralizes in the following strait', which possesses every merit, but that of meaning The truth struck its deadly fangs into her soul, but the venom flt:d from its pure surface, as the night-damp that weighs on the flower melts at the first virgin beam of the sun." There arc a hun dred similar absurdities in this trashy volume, such as—" the thunder of approaching eternity"—" the city divinely perceptible in the vague twilight of the past evening and the coining day"—(what can this 'wean?)—" the hymn of the watchman spread a mysterious feeling in the breast as it ascended towards the skies" (quere the hymn or the watch man)—which nothing but a consideration for the reader's patience prevents us from noticing at full length. The book, in short, is manifestly a make up—the patch-work of some brazen scribbler—a worthy member of that select squad of whom Swift has spoken in his "Tale of a Tub," when he says, that " from the circumstance of their being born without brains they make excellent sentimental novelists." Yesterday Prince GEORGE paid a visit to the Court of King's Bench, and having made his bow to the Judge retired. MODERN FAMILIARITY WITH ROMF'..--- There was a time (and it is not very long ago, for it was in our younger days, and we are not yet very old), when to have been at Rome, and to have trodden on the ruins of t h e seven-billed city. --to have beheld, as HOBBES expresses it with quaint sublimity, " the ghost of the deceased R e p l an 14]1•-pire sitting throne(' upon the grave themof," implied a sort of distinction to a man—and far more to a woman. To have had occular demonstration of the Coliseum and the Palatine, and to have commanded our coachman to drive to " the Capitol !" or " to cross the Tiber!" (which Madame de STAF.L reckons not among the least of a traveller's pleasures), was indeed something ex traordinary. Ilut how times are changed ! People mi grate to Italy, as once to Devonshire, for change of air ; and think no more of crossing the Alps than of rattling down to Brighton. Rome, the mother of Christen dom, the queen of the pagan world, has had her magnifi cent desolation invaded by troops of semi-barbarous idlers— has become as common ground as Bath or Cheltenham. Young lawyers go there to lounge away the vacation, and read HoancE—and young ladies to spend the Christnias holidays, and take lsons in singing ; Mr. llinciNs, and Alis• WIGGINS, and the nine Miss SimmoNs's, talk as familiarly of the Coliseum and the Pantheon as maids of thirteen do of puppydogs ; and the imperial City, divested of every' charm borrowed from memory and imagination, history and poetry, has truly fallen in reputation ; being regarded in a point of view totally different from that which existed fifty years ago.—(From the introduction to a notice of nil Ans a Rome, in the last number of the Fore* Reviea , and Continental Miscellany.)

NEWMARKET, TUESDAY NIGHT. -Although of little value, the races to-day were of considerable importance, as the effect ou the Derby betting will testify. The best and most influential of them was the last, of which we hasten to give some additional particulars, and to correct an error in placing the second horse, which arose in copy ing our express, the figure 2 being ‘ put so equally between Lord Sefton's Juryman and Mr. French's Palemon, that we inadvertently took the wrong one. The horses should be placed thus Mr. Champion's ch. c. Rough Robin Lord Sefton's Juryman • 2 Duke of Grafton's Omen _ From some of the horses in this race (Rough Robin es pecially), who are engaged in the Derby, considerable in terest was attached to it, and a tolerable share of business was done on it at the following odds :-5 to 2 agst Jury man, 6 to 1 agst Rough Robin, and 20 to I agst Omen. After five or six false starts, the lot went off at score, Flush (the Loo colt), Juryman, and Omen, being the leading horses, the rest lying behind in a crowd. There was no change in position till they reached the hushes, where Flush failed, Rough Robin immediately taking his place, and Juryman, at that time with a slight lead. From this point to the end, the race assmned a new shape every moment, each leading alternately ; the advantage, however, seemed to be with Omen, who looked uncom monly like a winner, till the last stride or two, when a fresh change took place, and Rough Robin and 'Juryman got their heads before him, and so (as it appeared to us) they came in, Rough Robin first by a head only, Juryman second, the Judge placing Omen third by a bare head. It was one of the best and most severely contested races ever seen, and much good riding was evinced. The win ner was rode by Wheatley, Juryman by Robinson, and Omen by John Day. The First Class of the Handicap was not so good a race. Enamel took the lead at a goad pace, and kept it to the new ground, where he gave place to Kildare and Lord G. Cavendish's filly, the former winning cleverly by a length, rode by Pavis ; Mouse, by a lad ; Enamel, by Dockery ; and Scribe, by a lad. Betting—. 7 to 4on Enamel ; sto agst Kildare; 6 to 1 agst Mousa; and 10 to 1 agst Scribe. The Second Class was a very spirited affair. Pastime, who was purchased by Lord Sefton immediately after run ning in the Craven Meeting, ran for the first time under his Lordship's colours, and did ample justice to the judg ment displayed in the purchase. George Edward.s rode her is good style, keeping her head in front all the way, and winning by it. She was run in very close by Car thago, who made a bold but ineffectual attempt for the lead. The race altogether was excellent. Robinson rode Car thago, Puvis, Bielskoi, and young Buckle, Spondee. Seven to 4 on Pastime; 5 to 2 agst Carthago; 4 to 1 agst Spondee ; and 4 to 1 agst Bielskoi. Lancastrian was the favourite in his match, at 6 to 4. Made all the running, and won easy by three lengths—rode by Robinson ; the loser by Buckle. The other race began badly, but finished admirably. They went off at a queer pace, each expecting and wishing. the other to make play, and so they ran to the new ground ; there the Prue colt made her push, and was soon told out by the others. Strong running then was the order of the race, and a fine sporting contest between the other three, ended in favour of Gros de Naples, by a head only—rode by Sam Day; Intruder, by young Buckle ; Nonsuit, by Wheatley; and Prue, by Pavis. The betting was 7 to 4 agst Gros de Naples, 2 to 1 apt Nonsuit, and 4 to 1 agst Intruder. The running in the 501. race was calculated to have fine influence on the Derby betting, and we, of course, looked to find Rough Robin in an advanced position, particularly, as in the morning lie had nearly got to evens with the first favourite, but be did not improve a point, the high opinion entertained of Omen's performance drawing the betting upon him, and he at once jumped from the very outside to 20 to I ; Lancastrian (of the same stable) making a spring of almost as many points. The following odds on the Derby and Oaks were all taken : DERBY. 9 to 2 agst Hon. E. Petre's The Colonel 9 to 2 agst Duke of Rutland's Cadlind 8 to I agst Mr. Champion's Rough Iltsbin 9 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Zinganee (Folly colt) 10 to 1 agst Mr. Honldsworth's Latubtonian 12 to 1 agst Mr. Nowell's Giraffe (Amy colt) 14 to 1 agst Mr. Thornhill's Merchant 15 to 1 agst Mr. Payne's Johanna Southcot- cult 20 to 1 agst Duke of Grafton's Omen 30 to 1 agst Sir C.

Monday 3 Tuesday ~ 4 0 1 Tuelday 4+ DEAF AND DUMB ASYLUM. Yesterday the anniversary dinner of the Gover nors and Friends of this Asylum took place at the City of London Tavern, his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, Patron of the Institution, in the chair. The company consisted o f a b out 200 gentlemen. His Royal Highness was supported on his right by the Bishop of Winchester, and on hip left by Lord Dundas, together with Messrs. Den nison and Pallmer, Members for the county of Surrey. After the usual toasts were given, Wm. Nottidge, Esq. treasurer, read the report. A general statement of the receipts and disburse ments of the Institution for the year 1827 was laid before the company, from which it appeared, that the, receipts up to the 31st December, 1827, including a balance of the former year's account of 910/. 4s. ld., amounted to 11,2001. Bs. Gd., and the disbursements for the same sear amounted to 10,234/. 18s. of which 4,310/. was paid for the hoard and tuition of 222 children for the past year; thus leaving a balance in the Treasurer's hands of 965/. 10s. Gd. In the course of the evening several of the children. supported by the Institution were introduced, hold ing in their hands books, in which were contained specimens of their writing, many of whom his Royal Highness condescended to notice, and expressed himself much pleased with the gratifying appearance which they afforded. One of them, avery intelligent looking young man, v 19 years of age, delivered an appropriate speech, which had been previously composed by him, and was addressed particularly to the Royal Chairman. The Duke of GLOUCESTER and the Bishop of LONDON severally addressed the Company, on the great objects of the Institution, the many advantages which it had hitherto conferred on the community, in restoring to their country and society a numb er of our unfortunate fellow-creatures who would other wise have been a useless burden to both ; and the still greater advantages which were likely to result from it, if adequate means could be procured for their accomplishment. _ _ Several appropriate songs were recited by Messrs. Broadhurst, Fitzwilliatn, and other distinguished vocal performers, who added much to the convivi ality of the evening, which was increased by the at tendance of a hand of music. At eleven o'clock thr company separated. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday an inquisition was taken at the King's Head, Moscow-road, Bayswater, on the body of Mr. Thomas Haggard, aged 47. Mr. Henry Bragg, af No. 8, Salem-place, Moscow-road, had knowa the deceased for the last six years. He had lately retired from business, on account of his being greatly afflicted with the gout. On Friday week last, the deceased, whose family resided in town, came on a visit to witness's house, for the benefit of the air. Since his continuance with witness and his family the unfortunate gentleman had suffered intensely from his complaint, which had the effect of depress ing his spirits to a great degree. On Friday and Saturday thc, deceased was confined to his bed from severe indisposition. On Sunday morning last, about nine o'clock, witness was alarmed by his wife coming to him, and, in the utmost state of agitation, inform ing him that the deceased had destroyed him self in bed. Witness immediately went up to the unhappy man's bed-room, and was shocked at dis covering hint in bed quite dead. His death was produced by strangulation, which the unfortunate gentleman had effected in a singular and determined manner; having tied the ends of his silk pocket handkerchief together, he placed it round his neck; then, introducing a cane walking-stick through the loop, he twisted it round until he compressed the handkerchief to such a degree as to stop respiration, and consequently cause dissolution by strangulation. Witness instantly severed the handkerchief with a penknife he had in his pocket, and then despatch ed his servant for Mr. Phillips, a medical gentleman, residing in the neighbourhood, who arrived in a few minutes, and pronounced life quite extinct.— Mr. Thomas Phillips, surgeon, deposed that lie was requested to attend the deceased on Sunday morn ing last, about nine o'clock ; he went immediately, and found him lying on his bed at Mr. Bragg's house. this death was undoubtedly produced by strangula tion.—The Jury returned a verdict " That the de ceased destroyed himself whilst labouring under temporary derangement." The deceased has left a widow and family. STATE OF TRADE.—We are sorry to learn that, in consequence of the unsatisfactory state of commer cial affairs in the United States and the immense exports ,f English goods to that quarter recently, several of the nankeen-manufacturers in this town, who manufacture chiefly for that markst, made, ou Saturday last, a consi derable diminution in the quantity of work they gave nut, and several hundred weavers have consequently been, wholly or partially, thrown out of employment; but we believe no reduction has been made in the wages of thee' who continue at work.—Manchester Mercury. ...Is toa,linid,.l had.::li st A gentleman being asked what business he in tended to bring up his sou to ? answered, " If I thought t he rage for gigs, whiskies, tandms, &c. would continue, 1 should bring him up to the profession of a surgeon." MYSTERIOUS ADVENTURE AT THE WHITE Haar INN, 'TAUNTON.—" A very strange unaccountable circumstance happened in this inn about the same time ; one of those occurrences that puzzle the philosopher, and strengthen superstition in weak minds. Three or four 4entlemen of the neighbourhood were drinking wine iti one of the rooms, when the landlord of the inn (as it ap peared to them) walked into the room, and coming up to the table around which they were le d iatn r : e m: ss til e rita d :: him with " Mr. 13mavm, how do you do? Sit down and take a glass of wine with us." But instead of (Joint, as requested, the supposed innkeeper walked out of the room, without making any reply; which not only sur prised but offended the company, who rang the hell vio lently, and on the waiter's appearance, they ordered him to send in his master. The waiter informed them that his master was not at home. The gentlemen replied that he was at home a few minutes since, and therefore they in sisted on seeing him ; but the man assured them they grew before vee,or very e angry;hin .to thel .
