Coal., t 37 St. oada, t the GENTLEMEN, Ireel myself called upon, by the numerous enquiries addressed to me, to state publicly, and with " furth er delay, that I have the authority of my relation, Mr. RUSSELL, who is now in Italy, to solicit for him S he distinguished honour of REPRESENTING this C OUNTY in PARLIAMENT, when a Vacancy shall °e ft* by the elevation of Mr. Lambton to the Peerage—an °sent which, it now appears certain, will take place very s hortly. In a letter from -Mr. Rusaell,—contemplating Th e Possibility of this occurrence during his absence—after "Pressing to me his desire to .succeed to so honourable a Nsition, and authorising me to act on his behalf, he con cludes by saying--" Every pledge which you may give of the, determination I should really feel to promote, by all the means i n my power, the best interests of the County of Durham, I should be anxious to redeem." I assure Y°o, Gentlemen, of my entire conviction, founded upon all Mr. Russell's communications with me upon the subject, and I feel no hesitation in pledging myself, that if the choice of the County should fall upon him, he would jus tify so flattering a mark of its confidence by the most zealot', efforts to promote its varied and important Inte rests, Agricultural and Commercial, with which his own are so extensively connected. With respect to Mr. Rus- Ws political conduct, I feel anxious that you should par- Si eiPate in the perfect assurance I entertain that he will never he found to sacrifice, for objects of party or of private iu Serest, any of those principles which form the basis of 001. Constitutional Libertiee. I have every reason to hope said expect that, before the Election can take place, Mr. I twiaell will arrive in England and confirm the assurances se Which I am now the medium; but in the mean time I trust yo u will permit me to take the measures which may a PPear necessary for the accomplishment of this, the h ighest object of his ambition. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble Servant, CHARLES TENNYSON. ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. THE SPRING COURSE of LECTURES will commence on MONDAY, the 21st inst.

" Madame Guiccioli, w h o was a t t h at t i me about twenty, was handsome and lady-like, with an agreeable manner, and a voice not partaking too much of the Italian fervour to be gentle. She had just enough of it to give her speaking a grace. None of her graces appeared entire]) free from art ; nor, on the other band, did they betray enough of it to give you an ill opinion of her sincerity and good humour. I was told tlmt her Romagnese dialect was observable ; but tome, at that time, all Italian in a lady's mouth was Tuscan pearl ; and she trolled it over her lip, pure or not, with that sort of conscious grace which seems to belong to the Italian language as a matter of right. I amused her with speaking bad Italian out of Ariosto, and saying speme for speranza ; in which she good-naturedly found something pleasant and pellegrino ; keeping all the while that considerate countenance for which a foreigner has so good reason to be grateful. Her hair was what the poet has described, or rather blond, with an inclination to be yellow ; a very fair and delicate yellow at all events, and within the limits of the poetical. She had regular features, of the order properly called handsome, in distinction to pretti ness or to piquancy; being well proportion ed to one another, large rather than other wise, but without coarseness, and more harmo nious than interesting. Her nose was the hand somest of the kind I ever saw ; and I have known her both smile very sweetly, and look in telligently, when Lord Byron has said something kind to her. I should not say, however, that she was a very intelligent person. Both her wisdom and her want of wisdom were on the side of her feelings, in which there was doubtless mingled a good deal of the self-love natural to a flattered beauty. She wrote letters in the style of the Academy of Compliments ;' and made plenti ful use, at all times, of those substitutes for ad dress and discourse, which flourished in Eng land at the era of that polite compilation, and are still in full bloom in Italy. And evermore She strewed a ad rallegro after and before.' In a word, Madame Guiccioli was a kind of buxom parlour boarder, compressing herself ar tificially into dignity and elegance, and fancying she walked, in the eyes of the whole world, a heroine by the side of the poet. When I saw her at Monte-Nero, she was in a state of excite ment and exaltation, and had really something of this look. At that time also she looked no older than she was ; in which respect a rapid and very singular change took place, to the surprise of every body. In the course of a few months she seemed to have lived as many years. It was most likely in that interval that she discovered she had no real hold on the affections of her com panion. The portrait of her by Mr. West— ' in Alagdalen's loose hair and lifted eye.' is flattering upon the whole—has a look of greater delicacy than she possessed ; but it is also very like, and the studied pretension of the atti tude has a moral resemblance. Being a half length, it shows her to advantage, for the fault of her person was, that her head and bust were hardly sustained by limbs of sufficient length." DUEL. A duel was fought last Saturday, about three o'clock in the afternoon, between Dr. Forbes, of Argyll -street, and a young surgeon named Thompson. The circumstances which led to this meeting are as follows :—Dr. Forbes who, as we stated in our Gazette of December 22, is physician to the Westminster Infirmary for diseases of the eye, was subpoenaed by the editor of the Lancet in his recent prosecution for libel. On this, Dr. Forbes wrote to Mr. Guthrie, stating that if he was called into the witness-box he would be compelled in truth to give an unfa vourable opinion with regard to Mr. Guthrie's practice. Nevertheless the preparations for the action proceeded ; but when the day of trial ar rived, and just as the barristers were about to commence the contest, Mr. Guthrie gave up the cause—for the time, if not definitely —appre hensive, it is said, of the influence of Dr. Forbes's evidence. Mr. Thompson meeting ])r. Forbes at the Infirmary, is said to have told him that he had betrayed his friend. Dr. Forbes demanded an apology, which Mr. Thomp son refused to make, and nothing remained but to fight. Dr. Forbes chose for his second Dr. Hume, of Curzon-street, a man well suited for the task, as he has lived much in the army among high-bred and susceptible gentlemen, and knows what is required by the laws of honour. too well to allow of any foolish and unnecessary waste of blood. Mr. Thompson was attended by Lieut. B. The meeting took place in a solitary part of Clapham Common. After the first fire, Mr. Thompson still refusing to apologize, the duel was allowed to go on till each party had fired three times, when Dr. Forbes's third shot having hit his antagonist's hat, the seconds interfered and put an end to the combat. We understand that Dr. Forbes finding that, according to general belief, the trial had been put off in consequence of the evidence he was expected to give, wrote to Mr. Guthrie on ;he subject, who, in his second letter, in reply, de clared that Dr. Forbes had done nothing unbe coming a gentleman. If thi s b e correct, we ar c at a loss to know what M r . Th ompson h a d to do with the matter ; but as a corrospondence has taken place, we think that the parties owe it to the profession and to themselves to publish it. Thus, fortunately, terminated an affair which might have had a fatal i ssue , an d w hi c h affords a striking illustration of the tumultuous state of our profession, to which we alluded in our Ad dress. It is one among the daily proofs of the incalculable mischief resulting from that system of' depravity in the medical press, which has thus, literally, <<set man in h os tility t o man ;" a system habitually carried on for the profit of a moral incendiary, (observe, we say moral,) who has raised a conflagration which it is to be feared will only be quenched with blood.—London Medical Gazette, Jan. 5, 1828.

The report of the committee, and the rules pro posed therein, having been read, The Lohl Bishop of BATH and WELLS addressed the meeting. After obserVing that the formation of friendly societies, on'the plan proposed by the corn.. mittee, would tend materially to relieve the condi tion of the poer, his Lordship said he thought the meeting would concur with him in opinion that friendly societies were now more than ever neces sary,—when crimes before unheard of were polluting the country,—when occurrences were taking place at which an involuntary shudder must pervade the frame of every feeling man,—when murder, theft, and all the long train of alarming and evil results which spring from an indulgence in the vicious pas sions of the human heart—when, in short, a species of great moral degradation had overwhelmed the lower orders of the population of the country. His Lordship was bold to assert, that one great cause of this moral degradation was to be found in the pre sent system of poor laws, the effect of which was, that the poor man no longer maintained that firm and honest independence so long attached to the character of the English peasantry. There could be no greater inducement to the meeting to sup port the society,,chan a conviction that it would make the poor man a Iletter husband, a better father, and a better man. His Lordship then ex pressed his approbation of the general rules pro posed, but recommended the giving the names of every local committee; and advocated the principle of granting the annuity at an earlier ago than 65, which had been fixed by the Committee. The Right Rev. Prelate, in conclusion, stated, that he should be always ready to give his cordial support to any plan which tended to further the interest, the comfort, and happiness of the poor of this country, to which he was attached by every feeling of the human heart. H. HOIMOUSE, Esq., begged to explain Arhy the Committee had given its preference to the age of 65. It was well known that the House of Commons, in its Report, had recommended 70 as the most appir priate age. The Committee was, however, con vinced that an annuity would be very desirable be fore that age; and well knowing that if fixed to com mence at a much earlier period, it would cause the burden, which would fall upon the contributors, to be nearly doubled, by ,demanding a great increase in their subscriptions, they determined on 65 as the most proper period. Every local society was, how ever, left to its own discretion, whether to fix the age at 60, 6.5, or 70. The Lord Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY was most happy in lending his sanction and support to a plan so admirably adapted as the present com mittee's was , for the purpose in view, and for intro— clueing the people to a better state than they were now in. WM. DictussoN, Esq. M.P., in proposing that a subscription be set on font to promote the object of the Meeting, adverted to the evils so which English labourers were subject from the vat ions contingenries to which they are exposed. Their condition, he observed, was such, that it was impossible for them to retrench, and unless some provision were made they must, in the event of a scarcity, sit down and perish. This was an evil which could not be avoide►. by any means more effectually than by County Friendly Societies. After several resolutions had been proposed by Sir A. Hood, Bart., the Hon. Captain Waldegreve, R. N., and the Earl of Corp. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS again rose, to offer a few observations with regard to the poor laws. He was much concerned at finding th at hi s remarks had been misunderstood. He was far from being an enemy to the poor-laws altogether ; he wished not totally to abrogate those laws ; such an idle, such a wild idea, had not for one moment entered his mind. He admitted the principles upon which the poor-laws were first designed. He warned not to undermine their foundation, but he would purge them of the many crying abuses, which had crept into them. The resolutions, which were passed unanimously, expressed the concurrence of the Meeting in the proceedings of the Committee, and its approbation of the rules which had been prepared. Those rules are to be laid before the Magistrates (at the Quarter Sessions) for their approbation. It sanctioned . by them, efforts will be made in th e a pp roac hi ng session of Parliament to form the plan proposed by the Committee into a law. The rules, it was stated, had been prepared from a set of tables constructed by Mr. Becher. A committee was appointed to conduct the future proceedings. The Marquis of Bath was named as President, and the Earl of Cork and the Bishop of Bath and Wells were appointed V i ce-Presi dents. WINTER ASSIZES., HOME CIRCUIT-MAIDSTONE, lAN, 7. Augustus Frederick Goodwin stood indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. The Learned .It - nu: slimmed up the evidence, apt' the Jury found the defendant " Guilty." He was immediately sentenced to two years' im prisonment in the House of. Correction. Mr. CLARKsoN, on behalf of the prisoner who stands charged with th e mur d er o f h er own child at Blackheath, stated t o th e i r L or d s hi ps t h at he was instructed by the prisone r to sa y t h at s h e was anx i ous to take her trial at the pr e s en t A ss i zes. M r . J ust i ce BAYLEY said, the prisoner m us t b e p re sent befor e any inquiry was sot on f oo t. Anne Dale, the p r i soner , was then placed at t h, healthyoloured,young w oman, mannerwas perf ect l y self-possessed, and free fro m ag itator. B y the di- rather e r S h g e o good-looking. s d - a l o f o r k e it; c . Her di rection of the Court, she was accommodated with a chair. Mr. Justice IIAYLEY then addressed her. Pri soner, it has been stated to Me that you wish to take your trial at the present Assizes—is that so ? The prisoner (in a Jew tone of voice)—Yes, your Lordship. Mr, Taunton, the assistant surgeon of the prison, was then sworn, and stated that the prisoner was fat advanced i" Pregnancy, and that, in his opinion, she could roc endur e the agitation of a trial, without probable danger to h er sa f ety. Mr. cLARI:soN.—In calling the attention of your Lordsb i P.to this case, I merely did so in consequence of di e w ish expressed by the prisoner; and it was at n e V reyieat that application was made to your Lordship to take her trial immediately. Their Lordships then etmaulted together for a short time, and Ml. Justice BAILEY then informed the prisoner that she must remain in prison till t he next Assizes. Jane Prigg, a wretched looking woman, far ad vanced in pregnancy, was indicted for fraudulently obtaining from the parish o fficers of L e i g h , i n t hi s county, one sovereign and sixpence, under pretence of her husband being dead, and her being reduced to extreme distress. The Jury found the prisone r gu il ty; but the Pa rish Offic e rs suggesting that the prosecution had been instituted more for the sake of example than punishment, The Learned Juncal thought that, in her peculiar situation, justice h a d b een already satisfied by the t wo m onths' imprisonment which the prisoner had already had, and directed that she be discharged upon b e i ng fined one shilling..
