There are some folks whose notions on the score of propriety are so exquisitely. and uneasily sensitive, that they are sure to construe every joke —no matter how harmless, provided it can raise a doubt—into a studied attack upon their morals, as Goldsmith's Croker detected Arson in a love-letter. This is the vulgarity, the plebeianism of intellect, and is much of a piece with the notions of that class of people who, elevated in society above their fitting rank, and proportionably jealous of their claims, are apt to fancy every smile that passes round the room as au indirect sarcasm on their pretensions. We do not mean to say that the Editor of the present volume is in this predicament ; but really it does not look much unlike it, when we find him every where sedulously lopping off the wit of I)on Juan, least peradventure incontinence or Atheism might lie couched beneath it. When we find him, for instance, in such lines as— Her eye, I'm very fiord of handsome eyes, 'Was large and dark E upp re ss ing half its fire Until she spoke, leaving out the sentence marked in Italics, from a dull praise-worthy abhorrence of its utter laxity, we cannot help fancying in our looser notions of the becoming, that he has shown, like the Rev. Mr. Cunningham (to whom the work should be dedicated) a little ultra-morality. Again in the lines Like to a lake whose waves ha circles spread, Or the ►ed sea—but the sea is not red, our fastidious moralist has omitted the sceptical passage, resolved doubtless, that as the Archbishop of Tuam's favourite authority, Moses, asserted long ago that this particular sea was red—red it shall be to all eternity. We have selected these two passages from among a multitude of others, merely by way of showing the conventional spirit in which the book has been got up, It is in tended, we presume, for the rising generation of either sex, as a sort of " Tutor's Assistant" to help .young ladies and gentlemen to a relish for what is orderly and decent in sentiment and poetry. In this light it may suit very well ; but it is no more Byron's Don Juan than t;ie " Fa mily Shakspeare," with the raciest parts of Fal staff omitted, is the Shakspeare whom we have been so long in the habit of admiring.

CAPTAIN FRANKLIN'S NARRATIVE of a RECENT EXPEDITION to the SHORES of the POLAR SEA in 1825, 1826, and 1827. The British navigators have been renowned for their spirit and enterprise for more than three hundred years, and their successful efforts have somewhat narrowed the field of discovery ; if those that have gone before have left to modern adventurers the mere gleanings after their more glorious harvest, yet they certainly have not out done them in zeal or in their honourable devo tion to this perilous service. It was natural to suppose that the coasts of the more habitable parts of the earth would be first explored ; complete knowledge of this portion of the globe has accordingly been obtained by the researches of successive navigators, and the restless spirit of modern discovery is now exercised on the wintry regions and inhospitable shores of the Polar Sea. Among those adventurers Captain Franklin holds a distinguished place for the zeal and intrepidity with which, in the prosecu tion of science, he has courted the dangerous adventure of a journey to the Frozen Ocean, and for the courage with which in an open boat he has defied the perils of this boisterous ele ment. The present journey, though it has not been completely successful, has yet enlarged our knowledge of the northern shore of America ;- and connected with the discoveries of Parry and of Captain Beechy, who was sent out to Bell ring's Straits, in 1826, has left only 150 miles of unknown land in one part, and another blank somewhat longer, between the discoveries made by land expeditions and those made by Captain Parry from the Atlantic Ocean. The account of the present journey, or rather two journies, is chiefly interesting from its re sults; for there is a sameness in all the adven tures that occur in this bleak and desolate coun try, and hence the narrative of them is apt to be rather tiresome. The object of the journey was to explore the northern shore of America, for the purpose of discovering whether there is any water communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. With this view, Captain Frank lin was to sail down Mackenzie's river to the Polar sea, thence he was to coast along west ward in boats equipped for the purpose, until he should meet the exploring party of Captain Beechy, which was to come from Behring's Straits ; and Dr. Richardson, proceeding with another party, and by a different branch of Mae kenzie's river to its mouth, was to take his course eastward, in an opposite direction from Captain Franklin, and to explore the whole coast be tween Mackenzie's and Copper Mine River. The result may be shortly told, Captain Frank lin continued advancing westward, amid the perils of a doubtful and precarious navigation, until the 17th August. He explored 391 miles of unknown coast ; and although he did not know it at tho time, he was not above 160 miles from the party sent forward by Captain Beechy from Behring's Straits ; the advanced state of the season, and the increasing cold, the thermdmeter being seldom above 37, compelled him to return Dr. Richardson's party eompleted the survey of the coast from Mackenzie's to Copper Mine River, a distance of 863 miles, and returned by land to Great Bear Lake, in the interior of the continent. In considering these discoveries we can no longer doubt that there is a communication along the northern shore of America between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans—that under an extraordinary concurrence of favourable circum stances it would be practicable to penetrate from the one to the other—but that, considering the wintry climate of those inhospitable regions, it is clear that this ocean can never be of the smallest utility as a channel of intercourse. The present work, we may add, contains a variety of views of scenery and remarkable objects, the most tasteful and highly finished that we ever re member to have seen in any similar publication. TIIE BEAUTIES OF DON JUAN. LONDON, 1828. It has been said—we know not with what tnith —that a judicious manager of the Liverpool Theatre, hoping to hit the taste of his audience, once ordered his company to perform Hamlet— ,6 the part of Hamlet to be left out by express de sire." The Editor of the « Beauties of Don Juan," with a view to gratify the devout and well disposed, has acted in a similar manner. He has diligently omitted all that constitutes the charac ter of the poem, all those striking peculiarities by which it stands apart from other works, as a thing sui generic, and sobered it down to a very exemplary so-so sort of co ncern . N ow , however praiseworthy this may be on the score of morals, it is assuredly questionable in taste. l)on Juan is not a work for the many ; it is far too anomalous in nature ; its clap -trap common places indeed of thought and style, scattered every where over the surface, may be generally read and, appreciated ; but the interior of the poem, its strange waywardness of feeling; its quaint, crooked, but oftentimes sublime morality; its arch mixture of sentiment and sarcasm ; its intimate acquaintance with the darker, and its reluctant—we use this term advisedly—disbe- POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—Menry Young was committed for stealing two volumes from a book-case, in the dining room at Dr. Cholmeley'a, a physician, in New Bridge street, Blackfriars. It appeared he called about eleven o'clock, on Saturday morning, had an interview with the Doctor, anti having hurried him off to York-street, Wahvorth, with an idle tale of some patient wanting him there immediately, came again in half an hour, and asked leave to write a note. He was shown into the dining-room ; hut the servant having some suspicion of him, as he was going hinted it to him, upon which he produced the books from a part of his dress, and begged forgiveness. She, however, called in assistance, and had him secured. William Ham, No. 32 on the list of prisoners brought before Mr. Alderman FAKERaoritca yesterday morning, was charged with havin g "bamboozled one Mr. Patrick Moran out of a beautiful black silk caravat wid a dillikit double red bordther." Mr. Patrick Moran, who described himself as " a teeler in A ldtheragate" (meaning thereby a tailor in Aldersgate), deposed to the fact of the bamboozlement in form and man ner following --" It was two o'clock on Sathurday night"— "Commonly called Sunday morning ?" said the AL DERMAN. " Indeed yer Honour may say that," replied Mr. Patrick Moran ; and . thus corrected he began again :—" It was two o'clock on Sunday morning—and the more shame for him to do suck a thing of a Sunday of all days in the week ; I was findin my way up Fleet-market to my own place in Aldthersgate, and the prisoner—l never seen him before in all my life—.-COllles np to me and says your caravat isn't half tied,' says he to me. Yes,' says I, 'it will do mighty well for me,' says I. 'No it won't,' says he, and I shall tie it more in the fashion for ye,' says he to me—just so. Then he whips it off of my neck—a beautiful black silk caravat wid a dillikit double red bordther, bad luck to him ! and ties it round his own neck instill, to be walkio off wid it from me intirtly !" " And why did not you prevent him from taking it off your neck ?" demanded the ALDIMMAN...." Well, I didn't," replied Mr. Patrick Moran ; " so I took no notice of the blackguard at all, but laid fast hold of him, and gave him in charge to the watchman ; and here he is for your Honour to make him tell why he did it to me." The constable produced the " beautiful black silk cara vat" just as it was taken from the neck of the prisoner, and Mr. Pat Moran identified it as his property. "Now, Mr. Hani, " it is your turn," said the A Lnita- MAN to the prisoner. " What are you, and what have you to say for yourself?"—" Why I follows the sea," began Mr. Ham, in reply. " It's no such thing, your Worship," said the watch man, interrupting him ; " he has followed Fleet-market these six months to my certain knowledge, along with 50 other bad character's." Mr. Ham admitted that he had been opt of commission some months, and that he whiled away a good deal of his leisure is Fleet-market. " But I never was acquainted with no characters," added he; " and I'll take a solemn oath I never touched his cravat, for that which they took off of my neck was my own. The fact was as this—he comes up to me in Fleet-market, and How arc vou, young chap ?' says he. ' Thank you, I'm pretty bubhish,' says I. My twopence to your's, and we'll have a quart'n of gin.' says he. ' No—l've got no more nor a penny,' says 1. Well, I've got threepence, and come along,' says he. So we went along, till Iv?, got to the King's Head ; and here's the gin for me,' says I. No; the Angel sells the best gin,' says he; and I said it didn't; and then he claps hold on me. Ye thief, you've done me out of my bl a ck silk cravat !' says he. And that', the long and the short of it, please your Worship." Mr. Patrick Moran, in rejoinder, declared that the story about the gin, and the Angel, and the King's Head, and all the rest of it, was pure invention. Eventually the cas e was remanded for a further hearing—each party under taking t' prove, by ondeniahle evidence, that the " beau tiful black silk cravat" was his own personal property. A decent elderly man, named John Kean, was charged hefore Mr. Alderman Faacintornza yesterday, with steal inxgeh aang quantity for ti . tY3oluf skins, and with uttering a f o rged bill of Mr. Howell Jones, a leather-dresser in Russell-street Bermondsey, deposed, th a t - o n the 24th i ns t. the prisoner was introduced by a n e i g hb our , as a customer. The prisoner exchange said he wanted six dozen kid, and a quantity of other skins, for his brother, who carried on an extensive business in the country, and would be a good customer. He read over the items of his order, and said that upon the goods being sent to the neighbour, there would be the money, and witness accordingly fixed a ready money price on the goods (leav ing a profit of only 2i per cent.) The goods were sent on the following morning (Friday) to the prisoner's ware house, No. 4, Hosier-lane, Smithfield, and the porter was ordered not to leave them without the money. He after wards met the porter and the prisoner together in Cheap side, and found the goods had been left without payment ; but the prisoner, after stating that he had only a single sovereign in cash in his pocket, said he had a bill for SO/. which he would leave in his hands till 10 or 11 o'clock the next morning, when he would bring him the money. Mr. Alderman FA REBROTHER, looking 'at the bill, and finding it would not be due until the •12th of August, ob served that possibly the bill might be provided for, and then complainant would have sustained no injury. Mr. Jones's solicitor replied that he should show PRICE 7p. presently that there was no chance that it would be paid, as the acceptor could not be traced. The witness continued—The bill, which was drawn by Samuel Knight, or. Thomas Webb, goldsmith and jeweller, No. 8, Silver-street, Bridgewater-square, London, was ac cepted by Thomas Webb, and made payable at Jones, Lloyd, and Co's., bankers, London. Ile bad inquired at No. 8, Silver street, and other houses thereehout, and could not learn that such a person was living, or had lived there. Ile had also inquired at the banking-house Nvliere at first he wits told to present it when due; lint upon ob taining an interview with one of the principal clerks, and stating his suspicions, a clerk was called into the counting house, and questioned, when he said that no similar bill had been paid through that house : the parties were not known. The value of the goods delivered to the prisoner was 13/. 2s. George Shoareliff, the porter, said, that upon laying down the goods, he kept his hand open them for five minutes. 'The prisoner first asked why his master's neighbour had not sent a cart-load of goods also. Witness delivered a note, giving some reason for the delay, and prisoner then tried to dismiss him with " That's right—that will do," but he said that it was his master's particular order not to leave the goods without the money. Prisoner said, he meant to have been down at his master's before that hour, but he would go then and reach Bermondsey as 'goon as witness. Witness lositated and proposed to wait and go with him. To this the pri soner assented, and in about five minutes they set off toge ther, the prisoner observing that he would have paid wit ness if he had not - wanted a bill cashed. While they were gazing in Cheopside at the operations of the plumber upon the dome of St. Paul's his master came up, shook hands, and exchanged compliments with the prisoner, and learn ing how matters stood, ordered witness to leave them, and go home." The prisoner stated, in his defence, that the complainant received the bill 86 a payment, and not to hold as security, as he had alleged ; and secondly, that the bill was not a forgery, as the acceptor and drawer were in existence, and he could produce them on a future day. Mr. Alderman FARTBROTHER said he had just heard there was an expectation that severel charges would be brought against him, when it was known be was in ens tody. He would remand the prisoner for further examina tion on Saturday. The prisoner begged to be brought tep on Friday, instead of Saturday. The Alderman, however, remanda him for the latter day.

James Matthews, a constable, deposed, that having been directed to take the prisoner into custody, he repaired or. Sunday afternoon to the lodgings of the female prisoner, at No. 17, Craven-buildings, Drury-lane. On ascending the stairs to her bed-room, he found her outside the door, and on demanding the duplicate of the watch which had been pawned, she gave it up after some hesitation. The witness then asked for the male prisoner, and was told that he was not there. Hearing a noise, however, in the bed chamber, the witness insisted on the door being opened, and when he entered the room he found that the prisoner had effected his escape through the window, leaving bellied him his coat, show., and hat. Suspecting that he was concealed in the honse, witness returned late in the even ing, and, from a hint which he received, he searched the lower part of the premises, and in a cellar under ground, the door of which was closed, he heard a noise, and on bursting in the door he discovered the male prisoner en deavouring to strangle himself with his silk pocket-hand kerchief. He immediately took him into custody, and ap prehended the female also. On searching the lodgings, witness found no less than 1111 duplicates of various pro perty pledged at different pawnbrokers'.

The warrant was granted. MARYLEI3ONE-OFFlCE.—Yesterday, a genteel looking young man was charged before Mr. Hosswis and Lord MONTFORD, with fraud.

He then proceeded to her mother's, but did not find her there. He heard nothing of her till a day or two afterwards, when he went on board his ship, where he was joined by her, when she told him, as a plausible ex cuse for leaving her lodgings, that a man, who lodged in the, stone house, had attempted to take unpardonable liber ties with her. He then went home with her to her mo ther's.

Mr. Ilsoort.tr —What r after saying that he cotod not marry vein? Prisoner—Yes, Sir. Since the ceremony I have never lived with Junes, nor has the marriage been consummated. ...... Mr. BILODERIP told the officer to go, and cause the pa rish-clerk to bring (town the parish register. Shortly after Mr. Ilopway, the parish-clerk of St. John of Wapping, appeared with the parish register. Mr. 131tonmur asked him to turn to the entry of marriage with the prisoner, and to read the deseriptidt( the parties therein. The parish-clerk then read the entry, in which the pri soner Wa3 described as a spinster. Mr. Bactonerr asked who was the clergymen, who, it appeared by the register, had married the parties. The perish clerk replied that lie was now-Chaplain at the Tower and Afternoon Lecturer at St. John of Wapping. Mr. 13rtonEttir al. , ked tyke parish-clerk if he recollected anything of this extraordinary marriage?—The parish clerk said that he did not.

The wife, a half-famished-looking woman, accompanied by her two Miserable-looking little girls, stated that her husband left her and her children without any support whatever. He was able to earn, and did earn, about 265. per week at the coal trade, but she nor her children reaped no benefit. They were often without a morsel of food for many hours together, and when she could not get the price of a night's lodging, she was obliged to sleep in the street with her children. • The prisoner, in his defence, said that his wife's conduct to him was the cause of it all ; she came every day to his place of work and annoyed him and abused him. She had driven him to drinking. Wood, the beadle, said that the prisoner was a most fit subject to make an example of. Mr. BRODERIP—If that be the ease, he shall go for a month to the House of Correction ; when that term of con finement was spent, he should give the parish the proper ! security. The children should be taken care of in the meantime by the parish. The prisoner was then com mitted, and his family were taken to tke workhouse. UNION-HALL—Yesterday a lengthened investigation took lace at this office, into the circumstances attending a daring outrage and robbery committed on Friday night, in the lint, Southwark. On the evening in question, a foreigner, named Jean Gardias, who recently arrived from Bordeaux, and unacquainted with the language of this country, happened, as he walked along the Southwark bridge-road, to meet a female named Donahue, one of the prostitutes who infest this quarter of the town, who per suaded him to accompany her home to a house in Peter street, in the Mint. Gardias had not been many minute., in the place before two men and two women entered the room, all of whom appeared to be the acquaintances of Donahue. The men treated him at first with great civility and between them it was agreed that some liquor should be sent for. The foreigner was snbsequently induced to retire into another room with one of the females, who, observing that he had a leathern belt buckled round his waist in which money was deposited, gave her companions information of that fact, for in a very few minutes afterwards, the whole of those with whom he had been previensly conversing rushed into the room where he was, and the two men at tacked him most furiously, while the women held him down on a bed which was in the room, and the belt, which contained 161. in silver, was forcibly torn from his person, and the contents taken. Gardias, it appeared, made every resistance, but he was at length overpowered by his assailants, who also robbed him of two watches, a silver and a metal one, together with a hat, tra velling cap, and silk handkerchief. They then rushed out of the house, leaving their victim in such a state of exhaus tion that he was scarcely able to crawl to the street•door ; he, however, managed to get out of the house into the street, with the assistance of the handle of a broom, with which he defended himself as long as he way able against his assailants, and was discovered by a man named Seaton, lying on the pavement, near the door of the brothel where he bad been robbed and beaten. Seaton, hearing cries of a person, as if in distress, proceed from Peter-street, saw a man and woman, the latter with a hat in her hand, running from the direction of the house in question ; those persons were subsequently apprehended by Wilkinson, the constable, together with the three ethers who were alleged to have been concerned in the outrage. The prisoners names are William Johnson, John Wells, Sally 111Pher son, Jane Jones, and Mary Donohue. The men are well known to the police as desperate characters, and reside in the same house with the females, with whom they cohabit. On examining the house in which the prisoners live, Wil kinson discovered one of the complainant's watches and his hat, foraging cap, and bilk handkerchief. The prisoners were all identified by the complainant, and the man Seaton corroborated his evidence, as far as related to the identity of Joh . pson and ill'Pherson, whom be had teen running away from the house after the outrage. None of the money ,)f which the complainant had been robbed has been found in the possession of the prisoners, all of whom were coin.. Initted for trial. Mr. Balms:sore said, it surprised him how every prize-fighter in the town could keep a public-house, and many honest and quiet men could not get ..licence.
