We received, this morning, the ilagenzeine Zeitung of the 26th ult., which contains a flaming article from Constantinople, dated the 25th February. It furnishes nothing positively new, but reiterates the note of preparation making in Constantinople and its environs to resist any hostile attempt either l 'Y sea or land. Meantime the persecution against the Armenians goes on with unabated severity. Tie reason assigned for this brutality is, to re duce the number of Christians in the capital, because their rapid increase had somewhat tended to A -ttu anger the public safety. Every exertion which the Government could make was re sorted to, in order to render the fortifications and abour e d ! defen ces as impregnable as possible. W o rkmen in the arsenals day and night to equip vessels destined for the Hellespont, while French " 4 ' American officers trained bodies of men in tended either for military or naval purposes, as ne- cessi tY required. It is said that American officers had eh i endeav oure d to close the Dardanelles by. a -es, but had failed. They, however, constructed floating batteries, to act in the bend of the passage, moored to men-of-war. In short, nothing was left "done which skill could suggest or enthusiasm ac complish. A hatti-scheriff of the 23d Feb. summoned the Whol e population of Constantinople to arm, that they might be ready at a moment's notice to repel the attack of the Infidels. If the appearance of Teat preparations can give assurance of safety, " t ell this ought; but we suspect when the day of trial comes that the Turks w ill b e f oun d waut i ng . T hey may have fleets in the Hellespont, and an Coed popul ace su pp or t e d b y A s i at i c Barbarians at nst antinople ;—they may have an army - at t, A.dria nople, and fortified encampments on the ' 1°1416 of the Danube—and all these may be inspired by the fervour of religious zeal, directed by the impetuous ferocity of the SULTAN, 'lnd trusting to the blessing of the Prophet, but t hty will vanish as smoke before the wind at the onset c' . f their equa ll y fierce and more energetic Northern rivals, who only await the signal to begin the attack 'here thousands will fall, but where tens of thousands will rush on to victory and revenger— Little or no c h ange ha, t c ak ° e N u sT Ats place i here. The perse neoree, rem cittion of the Armenians is still the order of the day, and the united Armenian clergy have already left the city.— Alost of them have embarked in the most distressed circum stances for Venice. Many of them who wished to emi rate for Russia, and were not allowed to go by sea, were sbliged to take way by Bucharest. Though the execu tion of these deplorable measures is enforced with great rigour, and Pera and Galata seem to he almost depopu lated, tke Porte still affirms that it is merely as a precau tionary measure, reducing the Christian population of the capital within certain limits, that it has is sued the firman to the Armenian patriarch, which mast strictly enjoins all Catholic Armenians to leave their present residence without delay. This firman declares, that all Rayas are forbidden to dwell in the capital with out an express permission from the Sultan ; and that if they have been allowed to increase in Pera, Galata, and Sentari, the increase has exceeded all due limits, and such au abase can no longer be tolerated without endangering the public tranquillity. The military preparation s are prosecuted with great diligence, and many thousand hands are employed day and night in the Arsenal, in th e equip ment of th e men-of-war destined for the Hellespont. The Capitan Pacha will go in a few day s t o t h e Dardan e ll es, whither many troops have already been sent, who are trained partly for the land and partly for th e sea service, under the direction of American and French officers. The Government directs its chief atten tion to the defence of the Dardanelles, and spares nothing to make this natnrally strong point impregnable. Several attempts which these American engineers had made to close the Dardanelles by chains had indeed failed, but it is intended to place at a spot, where the channel makes a bend, a kind of floating battery, to be fastened to four ships lying at anchor. The castles are also strengthened b y n!'"? out-wo r k s on th e land side, an d the coasts provided , with new batteries, to make a land- ImPossibl e . Tapir Pac h a i s to h ave the chief command in the Dardanelles, and that part of the Turkish fleet which escaped from the battle of Navel-in, and has hitherto cruised off Mitvlene, has already arrived in the D ar d anelles. Great armaments are also making on the landeide ; the Seraskier Hussein Paella is to go in the course of the month to Adrianople, to take the chief com mand of the regular troops, and the militia assembled there. All the artisans that are wanted in an army are pressed, and the Schismatic Armenian s , em loved chiefly ti o as bakers, smiths, & e.

The Fren c h -- _ =- Pa „r any importancep fre rs of Sund-ay o the E ast , l ater than what we contain no news have already received At a late hour this afternoon we received by ex press, the Gazette de France, dated yesterday. It brings down news from Constantinople one day imer,—but then the rag e of the SULTAN had only increased at the progress which the Greeks arc making un d er the Count CAPo DISTRIA, It was :reported at Frankfort, on the 26th ult.) that the Russians had crossed the Pruth. France and Prussia were considered as favourable to a war in the East. While Austria and England were the reverse. The report of an Ambassador from Algiers proves to have been unfounded : The Austrian Observer says that on the 10th February affairs were in the same state at Scio. The frigate Hellas, commanded by Aliaulis, had appeared off that island. Our Correspondent writes from Frankfort, 26th Dlarch, as follows :—" There is just now a report that a courier has announced to a commercial house the passage of the Pruth by the Russians. Letters from Vienna state that a grand movement is marked in the military cantonments, and that it is certain that the Austrian Government are going to throw an im posing force into the Turkish frontiers. There is a great excitement in Servia ; it is said that Austria will enter this province, should the Russians pass the Pruth. Great activity is observed in the public offices, and it is chiefly with the English Ambassador that Prince Met ternich has had the most frequent conferences. This cir cumstance renders it probable that there is a question of energetic opposition on the part of England and Austria towards Russia. It is supposed at Vienna that France and Prussia are firmly attached to the interest of Russia. Major General M. Durrien, is named President of the Electoral Collage of the Department of the Corse, for the Session, which will open on the 2Sth. A great many Journals have announced the arrival of an agent frem Algiers at Marseilles. We have been told to day that this news is false. POLAND.—CRACOW, MARCH 16.—We learn from Warsaw, that the Grand Duke Constantine will set out in a few days for Lub►lin, where the Officers of his Staff are already assembled. It is added, that the greatest part of the Guards now at St. Petersburgh, have received orders to set out for Bessarabia. General Diebitsch, it seems, is named Quarter-Masters General of the Army of Bessarabia, and General Witgenstein, Commander-in- Chief. The Grand Duke himself commands the reserve. TURKEY. —.-CONSTANTINOTLE, FEB. 25.—The Aus trian Observer announces, that the persecutions against the Catholic Armenians continue ; permission, however, has been granted them to take up their abode in the envi rons of the capital : their property too at Pera and Galata has been sold, but at a price so low, that they have sustained a great loss. A state of anxiety, though public order has not been mach disturbed, still continues. The Foreign Ministers have not yet suspended their preparations for departure, for they apprehend that the news from Capo d'lstrias has made an unpleasant impression on the Sultan, who is less than ever inclined to be moderate. The news from Egypt has increased his ill-humour, and defiance to wards the Allies. The Pacha has announced that the Con suls of the European Powers have demanded from him the liberation of all the Greek slaves who had been transported from the Morea to Alexandria, and they have declared to him that unless it were granted, his son Ibrahim Paella would be compelled immediately to evacuate the Morea. Since the ar rival of this despatch, the Sultan's exasperation has become such, that no person dare speak to him about the conciliatory propositions of the Allies. They attribute the cruel persecution of the Armenians to an obstinate idea of the Sultan that the siege of Constantinople is at hand; and., that he ought to diminish as much as possible the number of the Christians. The armaments continue night and day, and three ships of war set sail this morning for the Dardanelles. The article then proceeds to detail the destruction of part, and the capitulation of the rest of the pirates; as also the loss of the Cambrian, with which we were previously ac quainted. CANDIA, FRB. 2.—On the 27th of January, the English frigate Isis, and the French corvette the Pomona, appeared off Carabusa, and approached within gun-shot. •. The rocks were covered with people. Under the tbrt were 13 Greek vessels, one Austrian and one lonian, that the pirates had captured. A Gieek shallop went towards the Isis, with rhoin the crew of the sloop spoke, and intreated the Com mander to do nothing against the Greek vessels, as they were on tke point of taking troops on board, to be disembarked on the island of Candia. Captain Staines replied to the Deputies that he would oppose any expedition froni Carabusa, until they delivered up the Chiefs of the Pirates, as well as on the other vessels, and until the forts were evacuated by the garrison. The next day there came another deputation, charged with a letter to the French and English Commanders, entreating them to leave the principal ships and forts in the hands of the Greeks, who would deliver up the little fort on the coast. They declared to the deputies that they could not accept such a proposi tion, because they ought not to act with people who tbr two years had made Carabusa the resort of pirates; that they ought to make satisfaction for so many victims of their Piracy, and that people who had never respected the rights of others ; should not pretend to them for themselves. It will be perceived that Lord MORPETH has given notice that in the event of his not hearing that Government intend to introduce some motion to the sane effect, he should move, on the 13th of May, that an address be presented to the Throne for a provision for the family of the late Mr. CANNING." Far be it from us to advocate a profuse expendi ture of the public rhoney, but there are cases in which economy becomes vice, and liberality i s a mere act of common justice. Such we conceive to be the case when eminent individuals have offered to their country those splendid talents which in any profession would have secured affluence for them selves and their descendants. All the world know that little, if any thing, can be saved out of the salary of a Cabinet Minister—and it is not prudent in a nation to scare talent from its ser vice, by refusing to provide for those whom their natural protector was obliged to overlook whilst en gaged in that bright career, which conferred such incalculable blessings on the empire at large. Let us redeem ourselves at least :from the sweeping charge of the satirist, that— " Nations slowly wise, and meanly just, " To buried merit raise the tardy bust." We do rejoice to see that Mr. PEEL has ex pressed decided hostility to the introduction of the Poor Laws into Ireland. Is not that country wretched enough already, without the addition of a system which, if not checked, will inevitably turn the fertile lands of England, into an uncultivated waste—for who will till what is common property? We should infinitely rather hear that the plague had broke out in Ireland, than that the Poor Laws were introduced, to con summate her misery. We may revert to this subject to-morrow. Accounts from Curagoa state that a French frigate arrived there on the 7th February from Laguayra, the officers of which report that Commodore LABORDE, with a fleet of nine sail, wns at anchor off Cape Corda, and has about two millions of dollars on board ; it was expected he would attack the latter place in a few days. The Governor CANSELLA, of Curagoa, had been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Dutch Colonies, and would embark in a frigate for Surinam. Sir WILLIAM KNIGnTON lauded yesterday at Diver, from the Continent—but from what place, or whither he was bound, remained a mystery. Mr. CIIADS, our Minister Plenipo i te d ntiary at Dresden, arrived yesterday a t D over, as also- friar Messenger, with despatches f or P r i nce ESTER. lin AZV. So great was the urgency of the despatches sent o ff by Prince LiEvEN, for St. Petersburgh, on Sun day, that the courier crossed the Channel in an open boat.

When this petition was c a ll e d on , _ _ _ _ _ Mr. RUSSELL said, that he was instructed to oppose it. You have of course (added the Learned Gentleman) read this petition; but if your Honour has succeeded in under standing it, you certainly are more fortunate than I am. The VICE-CHANCELLOR.-The prayer is quite absurd —indeed the very first sentence contains, if I may use the expression, fib de se, fur it asks that which the Court could under no circumstances grant. Mr. RUSSELL said, that this was the fourth petition of a similar description presented by this individual, who, because he was a pauper, thought that be had a right to abuse the indulgence of the Court with impunity, merely for the purpose of annoying the parties justly entitled to the funds claimed by him, withouta shadow of pretence. under these circumstances, the Learned Gentleman trusted that the Court would interdict the petitioner from perse vering in the same course. The VICE CHANCELLOR--It is too bad, that your cli ents should day after day be put to the expense of opposing such petitions, without being able to get their costs. Let this petition be dismissed. A LUNATIC HOMICIDE. HUMPHREYS V. JONES. This was the petition, as we understood it, of the Superintendant of the Bedlam Lunatic Asylum, pray ing that a sum of money, about 1661., to which a luna tic, named Byewater, now confined in that Asylum, was entitled, might be applied to his maintenance. Mr. RUSSELL, in support of the petition, stated, that in the year 1818 Byewater had committed a murder, but was acquitted on the ground of insanity. He was then de tained in the county gaol, until his Majesty's commands respecting his future safe custody should be known. An order was subsequently mode, directing that the lunatic should be transferred to Bedlam Asylum, and he has accordingly been confined in that institution up to the present time. Until within a short period, the lunatic's brother was in the habit of receiving the an nuity in question, and of regularly appropriating it to his maintenance, but it now appeared that a Mr. capper was the person who had the superintendance of persons confined under such unfortunate circumstances as the lunatic, and it therefore became necessary to present this petition.—All parties were most anxious that the lunatic should have every comfort consistent with his situation, and the only question was, through whose hands the money was to be - The VICE-CHANCELLOR was satisfied that the inten tions of the parties were perfectly correct, but still there was a serious difficulty in this case, which distinguished it from the cases of lunatics who had been confined under a commission of lunacy issuing from that Court. Here the individual was detained under a particular Act of Parlia ment,which authorised his Majesty to make an order to that effect, and it was but lair to argue that the same statute which provided for the imprisonment and safe custody of the individual should also provide for his maintenance whilst confined. Mr. RUSSELL-But your Honour must be aware that there are many comforts which the lanatic may require beyond the allowances afforded him in Bedlam. For in stance, he is inordinately fend of tobacco, and feels most acutely the want of that luxury at the present moment. The VICE-CHANCELLOR felt that there could be no great harm in making the order prayed in the petition, although there might exist the objection to which he bad alluded. His floNoun. disposed of about 80 cause petitions in the course of the morning, and several others were postponed, in consequence of the absence of Mr. Sugden, who was en gaged in the Rouse of Lords. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. BOW STREET.

Mr. Medez, he said, was ready to meet the charge, 'when Mr. HALLS enquired why he was not pre sent ? The Solicitor was stammering out an excuse ; and also a violent tirade against the newspapers, when Mr. HALLS desired him to leave the office, and ordered an officer to fetch Mr. Medez, neck and heels, by a warrant.

William Dyon, aged 45, late of Morton Carr, in the county of Lincoln, farmer, and John Dyon, aged 23, late of Pilham Carr, in the said county of Lincoln, labourer, were put to the bar, charged with the wilful murder of John Dyon, late of Brancroft aforesaid, farmer, on the 16th day of February last. The prisoners, at half-past eight, entered the dock. They did not appear dejected by their awful situation. Mr. Sergeant JONES stated the case for the prosecution, after which the following witnesses were examined : John White--I was labourer in the service of the late Mr. John Dyon. I was with the prisoner, William Dyon, from Christmas before last to September last, at Morton Carr, when I went to live with Mr. John Dyon. I was recommended by the prisoner, William Dyon. I lived at Partridge Hill, near Austerfield-lane, my master living at 13rancroft. I never saw Wm. Dyon at my master's house until about a week before the death. I saw him on Friday night week before the death. It was the next day week. Ile was in my kitchen. I bad been in bed and asleep. We generally go to bed between eight and nine o'clock. I was lying awake, and beard a noise at the kitchen door. I got up and went down stairs. My wife was asleep at the time. I shouted " Hallo," and William Dyon answered " Hallo, John," and I knew him by his tongue. I then opened the door, and Wm. Dyon and John Dyon, the pri soners, were there. They had each a gun. One was a long one, a duck gun, and the other a common one. I can't say which had the long one. They came into the house, and I asked them what they were doing on here ; they said they were come a wild fowl shooting. I said there were not any about here, and the old man said they were net with that intent. I asked Mr. Dyon what they had come for, and he asked me if our master was going to Doncaster next day. I told him I had heard lie was not going, and that he was not going. He then asked me if he would go as on next Saturday week. 1 told him he would-be ante to go as on next Saturday, for be never missed a fortnight together. He asked me if they might leave the guns there till they called again. I told them they might leave them. He asked me if I would take care of them, of any body seeing them, and I sail I would take care of them. I asked them what was the reason for it ; and they said they had conic with intent to make away with my master; and 'asked them what was the reason for it ? They said my master had gotten his and their property, and all together, they could not bear it any longer. William Dyon said this. They said they had come intending to make away with him. They said they would give me 101. if I would not tell. They said they should fall to Brancroft, and would take the Partridge Hill farm, and I should live on it, as long as I lived ; and therefore if I told any thing that they told me, they would make away with me. They made me promise that I wouldint tell, and I did promise. I then went to bed and left them in the kitchen. I got up next morning about five o'clock ; they were then gone, and the kitchen door was enecked. I took the gnus into the granary, and put some straw into the muzzles, and hid them behind some straw and oats. On Saturday night, the murder was done, I again saw the prisoners. I had been at Bawtry, end got home about seven in the evening. 1 was ungeering the horses when they came into the stable. Wm. Dyon said, "I have been waiting for you; at least, I looked into the kitchen window." They asked me for the guns, and I fetched them. They both came in the stable. It was the old man who spoke, and asked for the guns; I fetched them down from the granary and gave them to them in the stable. They asked me if my Amster was at Doncaster, and I said he was. William, Dyon then said, "We are going to shoot your master to night : and if you tell, I'll shoot you and all." I promised him I would not tell : I was like for fear of losing my life. They went about their business, and I went into the house. The stable is about 100 yards from the house, and nearer than the house. I went out soon after to supper up the horses, and heard some one pass on the road ; I thought it *as my master, but could not tell. There were two per sons on horseback, and they were talking. The prisoners wes e dressed that night in smock-frocks : they had them on also on the Friday. Joseph Hakes--1 was shepherd to the late Mr. Dyon. On the morning after his death, ,about seven o'clock, I went to the spot and found at the gate leading to my mas ter's field the footsteps of two men. I traced them across a wheat-field of Mr. Dyon, and a fallow-field of Mr. Rad ley's ; then into a turnip-field, as far as Mr. Wagstaff's plantation. One tread was a particular one : the man walked widish, and turned out his toes a great deal. I have known Wm. Dyon 22 years, and lived with him half a year, when he resided at Austerfield. He walks stiff with his knees, and torus his tees out. The marks I saw were done by a man who walks very much like him. Edward Beata - Denison, Esq.-1 was one of the com mitting Magistrates. On the morning after the murder I went to the place and fo u nd some f oo t steps near t h e gate where the body was found. The marks were evidently those of two men, one of whom appeared to have turned his toes out very much, and the other had worn right and left shoes or boots. The elder prisoner turns his toes out very much when he walks. john Wilson, by Mr. illrrAczn---I am a farmer at Mis perton. I was at Linesln fair in April last, where I net William Dyon. As we were going to Gainsborough to gether on horseback, be said his brother, John Dyon, of Austerfield, was a rogue, and that some day or other he should be as good a man as him. Samuel Kelsey, by Mr. Sergeant JoNEs—I am a mil ler, at Morton, and know the prisoners. I met John Dyon at the Nag's Head, in Gainsborough, about a fortnight before the murder. He said his grandfather had left his uncle 30,0001. and his father very little, but he would see how it should be done, or something to that effect. I told him the least said about it in public company was the best. The Rev. John Rudd (by Mr. Sergeant JonEs)—l at tended at the inquest, on the With of February. Win. Dyon, the father, was asked in the absence of his son, where he was on the forenoon of the 16th of February. His answer was, that he was thrashing with his son until after one o'clock. He was then asked where he was in the afternoon, and he answered, he was warping with his son from four, and was back again by five o'clock. Im mediately afterwards his son John was called in, and said he was never warping that afternoon. John Wildboar, by Mr. STA R E. •-•-1[ am a shoemaker at Morton, and mended soom boots for John Dyon about three months ago. They were rights and lefts. After further evidence, which went to establish the pri soners' guilt, had been adduced, the Jury pronounced both the prisoners " Guilty," and they were sentenced to be hanged on Wednesday, and their bodies to be dissected and anatomised.

This is an able number, with more than its usual share of lively and miscellaneous information. The Essay—Review, we believe it should be called—of Sir H. Steuart's Theory of Transplantation, is a ramb ling eloquent sort of concern : earnest, poetic, and im passioned in places, rhapsodical, and downright a ! - surd in others, but in both instances, whether absurd or rational, well worth perusal. We give the follow ing extract as a specimen : Trees are indeed the glory, the beauty, and the delight of nature. The man who loves not trees—to look at them—to lie under them—to climb up them (once mere a school-boy)—would make no bones of murdering Mrs. Jeffs. In what one imaginable attribute, that it ought to possess, is a tree, pray, deficient? Light, shade, shelter, coolness, freshness, music, all the colours of the rainbow, dew and dreams dropping through their umbrageous twilight at eve or morn—dropping direct—soft, sweet„ soothing, and restorative, from heaven. Without trees, or comforts of life? how, in the name of wonder, could we have had houses, ships, bridges, easy-chairs, or coffins, or almost any single ( W 'ne ith o o f ut the a w n i" m 'en ig ie h n r ha ' ve been born with a trees,neesosnareiesm, silver spoon in his mouth, but not another with a wooden ladle. Tree, by itself Tree, " such tents the patriarchs loved" Ipse nemus—" the brotherhood of Trees"—the Grove, the Coppice, the Wood, the Forest—dearly, and after a diffe rent fashion do we love you all !—Aud love you all we while our dim eyes can catch the glimmer, our dull ears the murmur, of the leaves—or our imagination hear at midnight, the far-off swing of old branches groaning in the tempest. 'Oh ! is not Merry also Sylvan England ? And has not Scotland, too, Ler old pine forests, blackening up her Highland mountains ? Are not many of her rivered valleys not unadorned with woods—her braes beautiful with their birken shaves?—And does not stately ash and sycamore tower above the kirk-spire, in many a quiet glen, overshadowing the bumble house of God, " the dial-stone aged and green," and ell the deep-sunk, sinking, or upright array of grave-stones, beneath which " The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep ?" " The Letters from the Peninsula," are lively but without any very characteristic trait about them. The analysis of Macnish's Anatomy of Drunkenness, has some very 'spirited and powerful passages, de" scriptive of the effects on the mind and person, of habitual intoxication. The writer's powerful pen cannot fail to be recognized. The " Letter &am a Whig-hater" is remarkable solely for the brazen quality of its assurance : it affects wit, but possesses about as much of it as the Pilgrim's Progress. In fact, it is altogether a silly, puerile, and unmeaning tirade against what is called " Whiggery"—a poli tical distinction of which the author seems to have no very definite idea. We hare no space for further extracts. MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The article entitled "Police of the Metropolis" is the principal ornament of this present periodical. It proceeds on sound views, and puts forth able and well-digested practical remarks on this momentous subject, that deserve the most serious consideration. Whoever be the author, he is manifestly a man of the world, and one that has attentively reflected on his subject. " Village Sketches" is another of Miss Mitford's eternal rustic descriptions; it is pretty as far as it goes, but deficient, as usual, in novelty. This lady s intellect is sadly limited in its range— whether she be penning a tragedy, relating a story, or discussing a sentiment, still, no matter how re mote or unconnected thex may be, her quaint rustic notions peep through and destroy verismilitude. Nature in spite of all his wish crept in, Horatio—Dorax—Falstaff—still was Quin. The early English Drama" is even now, though the ground has been in some degree ably preoccu pied, a fine subject for analytical criticism. We are glad to find that the writer is preparing to avail himself of it : his account in the present number of the good old Drama. The Witch is well conceived and pertinently expressed. The remaining articles we must dismiss with the remark that they are worth reading. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Th‘chieffeature in this Magazine, at least in its present Number, is a light and graceful airiness— there is no food for thought or argument—little or no information—the papers appeal, for the most part to the fancy and good nature of their readers. " The Sketches 'of the Irish Bar" are confined to the description of a subject little, if at all, known in England, " Counsellor O'Loghlin," consequently they are less interesting than if they furnished an analysis of some well known legal character. They possess, however, an agreeable vein of exaggeration, full, yet not overstrained, that will not fail to reeoin mend them. Counsellor O'Loghlin, my motion is on, in the Rolls !" " Oh, Counsellor, I'm ruined for want of you in the Com mon Pleas !" " For God's sake, Counsellor, step up for a moment to blaster Townshcnd's office !" Counsellor, what will I do without you in the King's Bench !" " Cantu aellor O'Loghlin, Mr. O'Grady is carrying all before him in the Court of Exchequer!" Such were the simultaneous exclamations, which, upon entering the Hall of the Four Courts, at the beginning of last term, I heard from a crowd of attorneys, who surrounded a little gentleman, attired in a wig and gown, and were clamorously contend ing for his professional services, which they had respec tively retained, and to which, front the strenuousness of 'their adjurations, they seemed to attach the utmost value. Mr. O'Loghlin stood iti some suspense in the midst of this riotous oompetition. While be was deliberating to which of the earnest applicants for his attendance he should addict himself, I had an opportunity to take notes of him. He had at first view a very juvenile aspect. Llis figure was stature low, but his form compact, and symme trically put together. His complexion was fresh and healthy, and intimated a wise acquaintance with the morn ing sun, snore than a familiarity with the less salubrious glimmerings of the midnight lamp. His hair was of sanded hue, like that of his Danish forefathers, from whom his name, which in Gaelic signifies Denmark, as well as his physiognomy, intimates his descent. Although at first he appeared to have just passed the boundaries of boyhood, yet upon a closer inspection all symptoms of puerility dis appeared. His head is large, and, from the breadth and altitude of the forehead, denotes a more than ordinary quan tity of that valuable pulp, with the abundance of which ;the intellectual power is said to be in measure. His large eyes ' of deep blue, although not enlightened by the flashing~ of constitutional vivacity, carry a more professional expression, and bespeak caution, sagacity, and slyness, while his mouth exhibits a steadfast kindliness of nature, and a tran quillity of tamper, mixed with some love of ridicule, and, although 'perfectly free from malevolence, a lurking ten dency to derision. An enormous bag, pregnant with briefs, was thro*n over his shoulder.. To this prodigious wallet of litigation on his back, his person presented a curious contrast. At the moment I surveyed him, he was surrounded by an aggregate.mecting of attorneys, eaoh of whom claimed a title paramount to " the Counsellor," and vehemently enforced their respective rights to his exclusive appropriation. He seemed to be at a loss to determine to which of these amiable expostulators his predilections ought to be given. 1 thought that he chiefly hesitated be tween Mr. Richard Scott, the protector of the subject in Ennis, and Mr. Edward Hickman, the patron of the crown, upon the Connaught circuit. Ned, a loyalist of the brightest water, had hold of him by one shoulder, while Dick, a patriot of the first magnitude, laid his grasp upon the other. Between their rival attractions, Mr. O'Loghlin stead with a look, which, so far from intimating that either of " the two charmers" should be away, expressed regret at his inability to apportion himself between these fascinating disputants for his favours. Mr. Scott, whose countenance was inflamed:with anxiety for one of his nume rous clients, exhibited great vehemence and emotion. His meteoric hair stood up, his quick and eager eye was on fire, the indentations upon his forehead were filled with per spiration, and the whole of his strongly Celtic visage was moved by that honourable earnestness, which arises from a solicitude for the interest of those who intrust their fortunes to his care. Ned Hickman, whose countenance never re linquishes the expression of mixed finesse and drollery for which it is remarkable, excepting when it is laid down for an air of profound reverence for the Attorney-general, was amusingly opposed to Mr. Scott; for Ned holds all emotion to be vulgar, and, on account of its gentility, had addicted himself to self-control. Mr. O'Loghlin, as I have imti mated, seemed for some time to waver between them, but at lenth Mr. Hickman, by virtue of a whisper, accompa n i e d by a look of official sagacity, (for he was one of the crown solicitors,) prevailed, and was carrying off Mr. O'Loglilin in triumph, when a deep and rumbling sound was heard to issue from the Court of Exchequer, and shortly after, there were seen descending its steps, a form of prodigious altitude an d di me nsions, in whose wastes of corpulency, whi c h were piled up to an amazing neight, I recognized nolesa canners a person than Bumbo Green. Ile tame like an ambulatory hill. This enormous heap of animations approached to put in his claim to Mr. O'Loghlin. Bunibo had an action. which was to be tried before Chief Baron O'Grady, against the proprietor of the mail-coach to Ennis, for not having provided a vehicle large enough to contain him. Mr- O'Loghlin was to state his case. Bombo had espied the capture which Ned Hickman had made of his favourite counsel. It was easy to perceive, from the expression of resolute severity which sat upon his vast and angry visage, that he was determined not to acquiesce in this unwarran table proceeding. As he advanced, Ned Hickman stood appalled, and, conscious of the futility of remonstrance, let loose the hold which he had upon the Counsellor, while the latter, with that involuntary and somewhat reluctant, but inevitable submission, which is instinctively paid to great by little men, obeyed the nod of his enormous em ployer, and, with the homage which the Attorney-general for Lilliput might be supposed to entertain for a solicitor from Brobdignag, passively yielded to the dominion, and followed into the Exchequer the gigantic waddle of Btizabo Green." " Society in India" is a lively, and we doubt not a characteristic sketch, it is, however, too long. " Clio Grub" at Brighton, would seem, as its name imports, to have issued from . Grub-street ; it is sad stuff, though the flame of an auth9r • of celebrity has been affixed to it in the Newspapers. However,. qliquando bonus dormitat HOMCIUS, and so at times must Mr. Horace Smith. " Table Talk Abroad" has a lively conversational air about it that recommends it to the reader's attention, even despite its extreme meagreness of matter and flimsiness of thought. The writer is a good gossip. The verses entitled " My Partner" are lively, and to a certain degree intelligible : they are, however, too long for extract. " Aristocratic Novels" is a alight and eulogistic review of certain . novels lately published, of much fashionable repute. On the whole the number is a good one. LONDON MAGAZINE. This periodical has, we find, passed into new hands—a sign, we fear, that its popularity is on the wane. It possesses, however, sufficient merit to insure it along and prosperous existence. The "Notes, on Art," are penned by one who has a strong relish for his subject ; some of our modern artists are, hi deed, somewhat cavalierly treated, but there is full as much truth as severity in the comments. The Review of a new fashionable Tale, entitled the " Roue," is spirited, but rather exaggerated in its ' praise of the novel, which is assuredly, not first-rate. A dissertation on " The Present State of Switzer land," like its subject, is trite and unprofitable. If there be one country more injured than anokher by the prose and verse of its thousand and one tourists, it is this inoffensive and pastoral nation. Modern Greece is nothing to it. The " Diary for the Month of March," is smart and pungent as usual, there is some strong hitting at Mr. .1t ss rice Parke; but the author strains his argument for the purpose of pointing his sarcasm. His remark; on that Mirror of Magistrates, Sir Richard, though well meant, fall far short of the peculiar merits of that Worthy Knight, who on a recent occasion, in ,he Vestry-romn of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, • proved beyond all dispute that his pretensions to the Chair threw all rivalry into the shade. Sig Richard, they say, is paid fifteen hundred a year for sitting at Bow-street, where • one of the Pa rishioners observed that his official duties would shortly oblige him to attend—" Oblige, Sir !" sand the indignant Jusce ; " I am not obliged to attend! How dare you, Sir, presume that I am obliged 's can stay away all day if I like—Truant boy ! By this new reading of the word " c see that ST Richard, though he receives Fifteen Hundred a year for his services is not the public, Obligor, but Sir Justice Obligee! But let the. London Magazine speak far itself. It appends the following to the Report by way of Rider :-- " Now this, we think, is a little too bad, even from I gentleman so privileged as Sir Richard Birnie chooses to consider himself to be. This statement, it will be re marked, is not a mere newspaper report--it is authenti cated by the signatures of four respectable parishioners, 'and it cannot be doubted that it is, in the main, correct. We are well aware that there are considerable party feuds in the parish of St. Paul ;—but these are not arguments or reasonings, but facts. M o r eover , one or two f ormer dis plays of Sir Richard's are perfectly in keeping with his outrage of yesterday. His conduct to Belzoni at the Irish ball, a few years back,. which betrayed equal ignorance and brutality, has not, he may rest assured, passed from the public memory, nor is it likely so to do while his official behaviour in general is marked by the kind of manner which distinguishes this worthy successor of Justice Thrasher. His conceptions of his own importance would be ludicrous, if they did not issue into such disgusting violence as that above narrated. To a minor instance of a similar spirit we ourselves chanced to be an eye-witness not long ago. - We were coming out of the theatre, one night in November, in company with a gentleman and his wife, when, just as the lady was about to put her foot upon the step of her carriage, a man pushed rudely by, shaved us all three into the gutter, exclaiming, " Make way ! make way !" " What the devil do you mean by that ?" was our natural retort; when, pulling out a staff, and laying he was an officer, the man reiterated " Make way! . make way for Sir Richard Birnie ;" and lo ! the great dignitary, with her ladyship on his arm, hove in sigh', approaching along the pavement thus cleared for him. This is only farcical ;—Sir Richard Birnie thinking that lie is to have the streets of London cleared for his free pas sage is an epigram in itself. But if he goes on after the fashion of his out-break of yesterday at the Vestry, he may chance to " put the saddle on the wrong horse," and to learn that Magistrates have no more right to break the King's peace than other people." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DA Y.) CORN EXCHANGE. The wind having been contrary, the supplies reported are therefore very small. The proposed Corn Laws have had no effect on the trade here to-day. Wheat is scarce, ind fully maintains Monday's quotations. Barley is rather dearer. Beans and Pease support Monday's terms. There is not much doing in the Oat trade, hut prices remain firm. The dispute about the top price of Flour is not yet settled. ARRIVALS. Wheat.
