The MasiEit of the liohLs gave judgment to-day in this case in which the bill had been Sled, for the purpose of hearing the opinion of the Court as to the validity of a git. A person of ti e name of John Williamson by Lis will directed his exec utors to lay out a certain part of his estate in the Funds, the interest of which was to be divided by his executors among poor pious persons, male and female, °hi or infirm, as they should think proper, but omitting large anti sick fa., ilies of good character. The next of kin asserted that this was not a valid charitable gift, and filed his bill for the purpose of having it. declared. The AlAsrEg of the Rots was clearly of opinion that the gift as 'valid, and decreed accordingly. The COUNT then pro . ceeded with exceptions and further directions. V I CE-cHANCERY-(THIS DAY.)

The G.urt wa: occupied during the moruMg with ca , es in the special paper; the arguments that arose were of a merely technical character. SECONDARMS' COURT. (THIS DAY.) Mr. Secondary Jamas sat in the Court of Common Pleas at Guildhall, this morning. Several undefended cases were taken first. HINES V. BLINNHOEN. This was an action to recover the !.tn of W. 6s. 6,1 for work or labour none. it Kay appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ryjand . for the defendant. Mr. KA Y watud the case, and it appeared that the plaintiff was a poor labouring man. The plaintiff ppplied to a person Of the name of Mills, who was conducting some work on some ground in Stockwell I'ark, the property of the defendant, for work. Mills said he could not give the plaintiff any wi.rk vviihout the consent of gr. lilitikhorn. The plain tiff then applied to the defendant, and he referred hint back to Mills, with instruction to Mills to set him (defendant) on some work. 'the plaintiff employed other men,and they were set to remove a qua, ti:y of gravel. In all they removed 205 loads, and the agreement was to pay the plaintiff sd. a yard. out of which he was to pay his men. As soon as they had re moved the gravel, they were set to cut down some trees, and they felled, in all, 2l trees, and the agreement for these was 3s. 6d. per tree. On the Saturday the plaintiff applied for his money, and he was told that Mills had abscenfled with the money which was to have been paid to the plaintiff. The plaintiff went with the defendant to the station-house, to giVe informing' of the robbery, and on the way the defendant sail that plaintiff should be paid the whole of claim. From that time to the present he had nut received a farthing. Two the men who were employed by the platnt:ff to assist him corrobot ated this statement by their evidence. Mr. ItyLA sus then addressed the Jury for the defence, and stated that the defendant had sold the gravel and trees to a per son of the name of , myth, who was at his own expense to clear the grou d and tea the 'rtes. Smith was then called, at.d proved that he authorised Mills to en; age men to peirform the work, but that when Mills absconced he engaged them himself._ Several other — Witnesses wvre called, who gave similar tes- Mr: KAY having replied, Mr. Secondary JAMES summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. INSOLVENT COL RTL.(T HIS DAY) IN RE FREDERICK BURGIIART. The insolvent in this case was descriVcirn7his schedule as a tailor carrying on business at No. 15, Clifford -street, Bond. street. On the 6th of May last he came before the Court when the further heating was ordered to stand over to tbis day, in order to complete a deficient service. Messrs. R. S. Wright, of Golden-square, and William Henson Stones, of Warwick street, in the same place, warehouseman, were that day ap pointed assignees, and the insolvent now put in affidavits upon which was giounded an application for the removal of the latter assignee. The allegations contained in the affidavit were that the insolvent was the inventor and patentee of a certain struc ture in gar-burners, by which a saving of twenty per cent. in .consumption might be effected. In this patent Mr. Stones - had'a -- share of one-fourth, and a gentleman named Var list offered a sum of four thousand pounds for their joint rights. The affidavit further allegeld that the in. solvent had a right conj ;jolly with Mr. Stones in a patent (the invention, as we understood, of Mr. Val Marino, who passed through this Court a short time since), for gene rating a purer description of gas from tar and water alone, and the :esultcf which invention was tried before several persons of high rank and scientific acquirements, who expressed an unqua lified -apiftoval of its merits. The Board of the parish of St. George's, Hanover-square, offered the deponent a sum of 2,0001. fur his right during seven years, provided, upon an ex- • periment made before them, it was proved to be beneficially practicable, and, upon his applying to Mr. Stones to aid its causing this necessary experiment to be made, he threw all the obstructions which lay in his power in rendering the merits of the invention apparent. ' The affidavit then went On to state that the deponent believed Mr. Stones was actuated by a wish to have whatever future profits might be deriv e d fr om those inventions made available to himself solely, after his (deponent's) insolvency, and therefore prayed that he might be removed from his office of assignee as an unfit and improper person. After a short discussion b(qvreen the Learned Counsel on both sides, the Court ordered the case to stand over for three weeks, all the creditors, in the meantime, receivieg notice of the application, and copies of the affidavits upon Which it was founded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) A great number of trifling cases were brought before the Court this morning, but none of them sere worth reporting. BO W-STREET.-(TH IS DAY.) A little boy, named Main was charged with stealing some flowers from the indosure in Lincoln's Inn-square. '1 he Gardener to the Trustees of Lincoln's Inn stated that he saw the boy climb over the iron raiings, and pluck the flowers produced ; they were not wort h much ; he did not know hlw ranch, but very little—(we should estimate them at about half a farthing.) The little fellow expressed his sorravr, and in defence stwed that he saw the flowers lying on the grass, and climbed over to g 4 t them. The Gardener produced the Act of Parliament, which pro vided that pertons offending. in the manner proved against the prisoner, should be fined 40s. or sent to plisop for a month. Air. JAanINE said that the fine must he paid. The prisoner cried very much, and said he should lose his situation ;he was quite unable to pay the tine. His mother, a respectable, neat-lookirg woman, also cried very much, and stated her utter inability to raise money to pay the fine. Mr. JARDINE said he had the power to reduce the fine to 55., and that he should do so on the present occasion. The prisoner must thf-retore pay 55., or be committed for a week. He was removed crying, and we almost fear that he was sent to prison, :MARLBOROUGH-STREET. criiiS DAY.) William Cornish, James Staymaker, and John Lewis, young men of vagabond appeal ante, and Harriet Bunse, Mary Curtis, aid Mary Maters, young women of the lowest grade, were charged with gambling in Hy - de-park. The Park-constable, No. 4, stated that about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, in consequence of his being informed that a number of vagabond persons were lehaving in a very disor derly manner on the Bayswater side of Hyde-park, and making use of ye. v gross and obscene language, he proceed, d to the spot, and found the prisoners sitting together on the grass play ing at cards, wrangling and abusing each other in language of a most abominable description. He procured assistance and took all into custody. A complete pack of cards was found on the prisoner Bunse. 11r. Hanbury, the Head Constable of Hyde-park, identified all tne prisoners as infesting the lark for a long time past, and conducting themselves in a very disorderly and indecent man ner. They were also in the habit of sleeping at night there, either by getting into a hollow tree, or huddlir g together in a heap, for the sake of warmth. He had even ripeatedly seen them, at three or fur o'clock in .the morning, lying in this manner at the foot of a tree, although it had been raining heavily during the night. Numerous complamts were continually being made by ladies and gentlemen, and respectable tradesmen, who were in the habit of resorting there, of the way in which their lei hugs were shocked, by hearing the shameful imprecations trade use cf by the prisoners, and witnessing occasionally acts of gross obscenity. Mr. HARDWICK inquired why such characters were not kept out of the park altogether? Mr. Hanbury said, at present it was impossible, for, although they were nut allowed to pass through the gates if observed, yet they gained admission by climbing over the palings. Mr. liaenwtex said idle and dissolute persons shoUld not, under any circumstances, be allowed to infest the park in such a vagabond way, and which no doubt prevented a great portion of the public from the enjoyment of the air and exercise which the place 'was purposely intended to afford. 11-1, was determined to severely punish any persons found so offending who might be brought before him, ,and he should, therefore, commit the prisoners for fourteen clays each to the House of Correction. James Young, and James Williams, fashionably dressed striplings, and whose fri,nds, it appealed, are highly respect able, were brought up after a night's incarceration in the sta tion•house, charged with the silly and annoying practice of knocking at doors and ringing bells at three o'cluelc this morn ing, in Archer -street, Piccadilly. Both of them were exceed ingly intoxicated at the time. '1 hey were each fined 75., which they directly paid. CLEIMEN WELT,.--(THIS DAY.) At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. GKEENiV:IOD said that a very illegal practice had recently prevailed in some public-Louses of having private theatricals performed in them. Yesterday a young man named Chi ds had been brought be fore him. From his statement it appeared that at a certain public-house in Somers-town, a great number of young appt en ices were in the habit of as. embling nightly, each acting apart in some performance—occasionally, too, each had a benefit. It was needless for him to remark on the immorality to which such things would lead. lz should, therefore, be put down ; and he called upon the police inspectors to use every means in their power to suppress the nuisance.

This had not the effect of appeasing the hunger of the multitude, be cause the attack was repeated on the same evening, and signs of di,turbance manifested themselves throughout yesterday. At twelve o'clock, h owever, last night, a very great crowd, consisting of men and women, the latter, we understand preponderatirg, surrounded the ' concerns of Mr. Ban . natyne, end were endeavourinz to force them open, when the police and military arrived and resisted the attempt.

With the imperfect information fur nished us (no more than the outline of the facts), we cannot trust ourselves this evening to comment upon this truly lament able affair, which, we are not surpr i sed to learn, has caused b ut one feel ng of horror wherever it has been heard. We cannot, for the life of us, understand why the military or police should be or dered to usetheir deadly weapons on suCli an occasion, and for such an oLject, when it is notorious that a litt!e forbearance, with -- firrricess a nddiecretion, would produce far more effectual results, and n s and - be the surest means of esta b l i shing order, as it appears that no exertion has been blade in th a t quar t er t o re d uce t h e c o the necessities of the poor ! i ly s a p uzz l e t o us w h y l oa d e d n s t d e o r f any pro c v i i r s c i : mn provisio n s t a ees, supp ly mus ketry should be discharged in front of a famishing crowd mad dened with hunger, even if they had proceed much further than we have been informed they did in this instance. FAMINE-1N MAYO. The Rev. Richard Henry,' paiiih priest of Islandeady, in a letter to the Freeman's Journal, dated cn Monday morning, states that hundreds are on the brink of starvation in that parish, and that many of them must perish, if relief be not speedily afforded. The Reverend Gentleman says—" Five hundred families have been, for the last ten days, subsisting on green cabbage leaves , the only food under Heaven they can procure." A memorial for relics has been sent to Lord De Grey, and one also to the landlord, Sir Roger Palmer. COMMIT I'AL OF. A ROM AN CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN. The following statement appears in the Londonderry Jour nal of Tues.lay : The Rev. Daniel llPGettigan, R.C.C., was summoned to appear before Daniel Chambers, John Chambers, John Robert }..loyd, and John Beers, Esqrs., the Magistrates assembled at petty sessions, at Letterkenny, on 'Wednesday last, the Ist of June instant, to give evidence touching his knowledge of a felony, alleged to have been committed by one Hugh Molloy, and attended on said day, in obedience to such summons. The cireurnstances of the ease which led to the summoniug of Mr. ItltGett Igen, are as follow :—A person of the name of -- Harkin, was indebted in a sum of money to said Hugh Mulloy, which Molloy multi not recover, in consequence of the existence against him of certain legal difficulties. Harkin had a horse, which he sent to one Barrin, his son-in-law, who resides in Glen. firm. Barrin's stable, shortly after Hawkin's horse was sent to I him, was entered at night, and his own horse taken by some per e son at present unknown, either by mistake for Harkin's horse, or because Barrin's horse was more valuable than Harkin's, which latter is believed to be the fact. Some time after the stealing, some of the parties came to the Rev. Mr. M'Get.tigan on the subj: ct, and what transpired- before him is not known, but the result was, that Barrio got his horse, and Mulloy was paid his money. Mr. M'Gettigan having been required by the Magistrates to be sworn, and state that part cf the transaction of which he was aware, refused doing so, stating that he could not conscientiously . reveal what was imparted to him as a secret, the parties having entrusted him therewith under the impression that he neither could nor would reveal it. The Magistrates read him a letter, purporting to have been written bj Mr. Lucas, the Under-Secretary, stating that no clergyman was exempted from giving evidence, in any case, no matter how his knowledge may have beets ob• tained ; to which dictum Mr. M'Gettigan said he could not assent : and stated, as an instance of the hardship of the adop tion of such a principle, that he had at that moment a letter in his pocket from an individual enclosing a pound-nose which he had stolen from another, and requesting Mr. MtGettigan to restore it, of which (if Mr. Lucas and the Magistrates were correct) be would be obliged, upon a summons being issued, and served upon him at the instance of the person to whom he would restore the pound, to give evidence as to how he ob tained, and who the party was that. stole the same. The Magistrates finally committed Mr. 111'Gettigan for such refusal to give evidence, under the 9th Geo. IV. c. 54, a. 2, and he now lies immured in Lifford gaol. The following is as extract of a private letter received from him since his incarceration : The propriety of the course which I have taken in this affair, no matter, what may be the issue, appears to me every hour g , eater and More just. * +r I have great consolation in the plaudits of a clear conscience ; and, tut mature reflection, you and every other man will com mend the course, and advocate the principle which has led me to this.'

The holders of these last - named documents are now beginning to expels some uneasiness lest the dividend may not be forth coming. Even the most sanguine are apparently inclined to believe that the 30th inst. will rass over without the promised payment, and it is painful to state, that their fears are, it may be expected, well grounded. The notice given by the Bank of England, that they will take light gold at 3/. 17s. 10/d. per oz., has to a small extentrclicved the holders of and upwards. But to the usual current for mercantile transactions the s)stem just adopted still offers the same impediments. Each payment is strictly examined, and at the Custom-house and whir public offices, as well as to private bankers, the hindrance to business is very great. A file of Canton papers, to the Ist of March, hive been re. ceived, but contain no commercial into ligence. This is to be accounted for by the fact of Hong Kung beis g now the scat of tra.de, and it was supposed that such merchant; as remained at Macao or Canton would remove their establishments to the first-named island as soon as possible. Some exceedingly heavy and continued rains had caused much distress among the inhabitants of the provinces south of the lakes, and many Of them had found their way to Macao, and ware begging for food. The Emperor had ordered the natives to retire inland, that the British might advance, this policy had been before pur sued, but without attaininolie'q t. esired end.

' THE BELGIAN AUTHORITIRS AND THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.--It appears that opposition has been got up by the Belgian authorities, in connexion with the Belgian Steam-boat Company, against the General Steam Navigation Company of London, and some late proceedings of the former at Antwerp must call for the interference of our Government, if repeated, unless the trade between Bel gium and London is to be confined to the steam-boats of the former nation. Every possible obstruction is thrown in the way of the business of the General Steam Navigation Com pany's vessels running to Antwerp, fur the purpose of giving an advantage to those whi c h b e l ong to a Company f ormed i n London Company, that city. On Sunday l as t the Rainbow, belonging to the having regu l arly cleared out at A ntwerp , paid all port d ues , was upon the pot of starting in corn pany with the B e l g i an ship Princess Victoria, when an endea vour was made t o s t op t h e Rainbow from proceed i ng or , her passage.

A different course is pnraued here. The Belgian steamers are allowed to leave the Thames at any hour their oaners think proper, and our Government would not for one moment interfere with fair competition. The people of Ant werp and Ostend have a perfect right to start steam-vessels of their own, but it is certainly not just. on the part of the Bel gian Government to use their influence, and endeavour to crush a company by whose exertions Antwerp and Ostend have been greatly benefited, and who hare always carried on their operations in a generous spirit of rivalry. ~ arnaartaat GRELN.----AN IRISH BROTHER. — .\ young sprightly couple, to all appearance under age, passed through this town on Friday, in a carriage and four, en route to Gretna Had. The young rely, in addition to a swain alike loving and likely, was accompanied by her brother, au Irish gentleman of superior edusation, and the greatest frankness of mind and manner. In calling on a townsman to obtain a supply of sovereigns in Exchange for Bank of Ireland notes, he men tioned, unasked, his destination, and seemed to enjoy the idea of the trip amazingly. " What," said the Dumfrieaian, " I hope sem are not going to make a runaway marriage." " Not yet, at least, but my sister is, and that's pretty much the same seeing it's a family affair after all." "Indeed ! but why travel so far to get the knot tied, as if there were no altars and priests in Ireland? ' "As for that there are plenty of parsons, and ready enough to take the fee besides; but then, you see, my father refused his consent, and was like to break the hearts of both the darlings. But for my own part, 1 see nothing wrong in the match ; the bridegroom is a friend, and a fine young fellow, who may as wed have my sister as another ; anti so 1 thought it best to jog along in company, and enjoy the spree." Gold was readily tendered for good bank . paper, and the party took their departure across the border in the same dashing style they had arrived. On Saturday they returned, bantym sovereignsttyie. and seemed quite delighted that they had got the job so well over. The lions of Dumfries, were, of course, visited, and many compliments paid to the scenery of Nithsdale; and, after a slight repast, the trio started for their native country, via Portpatriek, to beg forgiveness of an offended father, who re sides somewhere in the county Dublin.—Duntfries Courier.

HAaIBCaGH, .1 UNE 7. —The authorities ( Unterst ut z ungs- Behorde ) appointed by the Senate, yesterday printed the first sheet of a statement officislly recording the amounts severally received for the relief of Hamburg'', specifying the names of Sovereigns and places. This present statement is to be con fined to all gifts up to the evening of the 31st of May, and of these mention only (it is announced) being made of contribu tions actually received. The list of places is given alphabetic ally ; there is no English name as vet among them. The total amount received up to the evening of the 31st May is elsewhere officially given as follows : Mks. Banco. Received by the authorities, from without, about 1,600,000 Within Ham burgh territory Received by the Hulfaverein, in all about.— A total sum of about ... 1,943,000 The various denominations of money in which the several gifts were received renders it impossible in reducing them to one standard to give the positive value—a value ever varying with the ra'e of exchange. In the items of the following list of the Sovereigns, great and small, contributors to a benefac tion of so urexampled a character, this will be readily apparent.

The names of several of the Sovereigns of Europe do not, it will be seen, appear in this list ; among others, besides that of Great Britain, are th ose o f A us t r i a , B avar i a , and Holland, all of which have announced their intention to send suly , criptions. There is no mention made either of-tile King of Hanover, the most neighbouring Sovereign, who derives so large a revenue from the commerce of Hamburgh through his illegal levy of the Stade duties, but, perhaps, though among the tardy donors, his name may appear in the next list. The state of Hanover has, however, liberally subscribed by a vote of the Chambers, suggested, it is said by the Kiug, a sum of 200,000 thalers ; but whether as a loan or gift is not as yet clear. Among the dis tinguished names given above there are some, certainly, whose dignity is not of a very European charactor ; but I state them to you as all those which this publication " delighteth to honour." The Hulfsverein acknowledges . the subscriptions sent to it. direct from several places in England, and communicates the measures it has taken already, and those it is in process of carrying out for the relief of the sufferers. These may he brielly stated Iv be advances of money by way of gift and loan for the purchase of necessaries in the way of clothing, tools, and other things requisite for parties to be enabled to return to the maintenance of themselves by their own industry ; also the procuring and building of houses, which are springing up in delightful variety of all shapes and colours, wood as well as brick, in every open space within. the town, as also without. its gates. 200 L. d'Or.

GREAT BOAT-RACE BETWEEN THE GENTLEMEN OF THE UNIVERSITIES OF CAMBRIDGE AND Oxrotto.—This great event, anliounced for Saturday next, creates the most ively interest nut only amongst the members of the respective Universities, but all those comprising the great aquatic clubs throughout the kingdom, and the issue Is lo.ked for wiTh much anxiety. It will be remen.hered by our readers that in the former struggles between the rival Universities the Cantabs have been triumphant. and as such they appeared to possess the favouritism before there could be any particular opportunity of ascertaining the powers of either of toe crews who will is ho nourable emulation contend on this occasion for the high aquatic distinction. In our brief notice of this a few days since we published a list of those gentlemen proposed to form the crew of either boat, and, as we then anticipated, some trifling altera tions have been made.

DESTITUTION OF THE POOR.—.ATTACK ON THE POTATOE-MA K ET. —About ten o'clock on Saturday evening, the North Main-street presented an unusual state of confusion and riot, in consequence of the assemblage of about 1,000 poor starving people, who, impelled by hun ,, er, and the enormous Po price which potat oes h ave been selling,r in Cork, during the last few months, in consequence of the nefarious trade of fore staliing, had commenced breaking into the market, and forcibly possessing themselrcs of the potatoes stored there.

At twelve o'clock a second attack was made, which the police repelled; after which the people proceeded to attack both gates at the same time, for the i • re of distracting the attenti on o f th e p o li ce .

MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY EVENING. —A serious fire broke out this morning in Manchester, at a very early hour, by which property to the amount of at least 8,000/. has been destroyed. The property in which the fire occurred was one of tho oldest cotton-mills in Manchester. It was situated i❑ Pin Mill Bow, and was known by the name of the Pin Mill Factory. The premises consisted of a long and lofty erection fronting to Pin Mill Bow, generally called " The Old Mill," the property of Mr. L. Willan, of Lancaster, at the western end of which was an engine-house of more recent erection, at once supplying steam-power to this portion of the premises, and also to some power-looms hi a comparatively new' building on the other side of it, erected by the present lessees of the mill, Messrs. J. Thompson and Sons, corner of York. street, Manchester. The premises were discovered to be on fire about a quarter before five o'clock this morning, by a private watchman named Collins, who instantly gave an alarm, and great numbers of factories' hands being then on the way to their work, the news was spread far and wide about the town in a very short time. Mr. Rose was on the spot with an engine and its complement of men in rather less than half=an-hour front the time the tire was first ditcovered, and he had two other powerful engines brought to the spot in a few miriutes afterwards. In the mean time, Mr. Gallimore, dyer, whose premises are situate near, having a small engine in his possession, and - having heard of the fire, volunteered its use, and it had been brought into the yard of the mill. Unfortunately, however, the hose could not be fitted on to the plugs of the street water-mains, which, in a large town like this, contain the only water sufficiently free from sediment to be available, and being taken to a neighbour ing pool, the engine had no sootier got into play, and given pro mise of effective assistance, than it was choked with mad, and rendered useless. Under these circumstances, there could be no hope for the ma chinery and property in that and the two stories above it, if far those below ; and it is a credit to the exertions of the fire men, that, acting under the sound judgment of their super intendent, they were able to prevent the flames entending to the engine-house and the new mill. The fire burned with such fury in the upper stories of the old, mill, that the roof very soon fell in ; and crash after crash, rapidly and successively an nounced the falling of the different floorings and their heavy machinery, till the building was entirely gutted. The walls alone, in a shattered and dangerous state, remained standing at eight o'clock. The fire had been entirely got under by that hour. This afternoon the principal wall, including a portion of the front, and the gable overhanging Fairfield-street, have been thrown down, removing the serious danger to which thousands of lives would have been constantly exposed in the thorough fares at the end and in front of the mills, so long as they were left standing. The probability that they would fall outwards rendered their early removal necessary, and it has happily been accomplished without accident. •"- CA U T oN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS.

PHILALITUS. The new approach to the Brighton Railway ter minus, from the upper end of North-street, is in a state of con siderable forwardness. For some time the cut from the middle of Air-street through Petty France and Durham into North street, has been opened, and the continuation of the road along the front of Windsor-terrace into North-lane is nearly com pleted. It has been for some days past open to foot passengers, and the carriage -road will be finished by the end of the week. This portion of the road has been widened, by setting back the western wall of the Hanover &trial-ground, and the road has been lowered several feet, making Windsor-terrace really what its name purported it to be—a terrace. The road across the field between North.laue and Gloucester-lane is also set out, running into the open piece of ground directly opposite the terminus, and likewise branching off right and left into Surrey-street and Frederick-gardens.— Brighton Gazelle. TILE LATE EXPLOSION AT APOTHECARIES' lIALL. The funeral of the late Mr. Henry Hennell is appointed to take place on Saturday next, when all the chief officers of that insti tution, of which he was such a valuable member, will follow the remains to the grave. The interment is to be in the Bun hill-row but ial ground, and the procession will move from the hall, where the body siill is, at three o'clock. M. Pinson, the master of a restaurant, in the Rue de la Vieille- Cornedie, having at various times lost plate to a considerable amount, became vigilant in the hope of at last de tecting the thief. On the day before yesterday, a well-dressed young man took a seat at one of the tables, and was served with what he ordered on a silver dish. When the contents were eaten, the dish was first put aside, then covered with a porcelain plate, over which the guest held a newspaper on which he appeared to be deeply intent. At length lie contrived to slip the silver plate down into his lap on which he had spread a silk handkerchief, and, wrapping the one into the other, con veyed both into his pocket, and, having paid his bill, was walk ing off. M. Pinson, having observed all his manoeuvres, stopped him, and, calling in a police officer, the dish was re covered, and the thief was immediately taken before a commis sary of police, who committed him to the Prefecture.

LITERATURE. UST Smith, Lyndon, 1842. The, .present translation of Goethe's Faust is the production of Mr. Lewis .Filmore, • and has been un dertaken expressly for Smith's Standard Librarv,.of which it forms one of the Numbers. The version is a spirited one ; and the famous Witch - scene on the Hartz mountains, though it will not bear comparison with Shelley's well-known translation, is rendered with much poetic feeling. No German work of fiction that has been printed for the last half century, has ap peared so of, en in an English dress; as Faust ; and Mr. Filmore's version may, we think, take rank among th e best.• •It is introduced by a modest and judicious prefaee, wherein the author states the reasons that in duced him to undertake his difficult task, observing, that all the previous translations having been pub lished at a high price, and " more than one of them being accompanied by engraved illustrations in an ex ceedingly expensive form," it was thought that a ver sion " printed in a cheap and accessible form, would still find a large circle of readers, notwithstanding the ground that might appear to be occupied already with its predecessors." As Mr. Filmore has suc ceeded so wet in his version of Goethe's Faust, we must bargain for translations froM other German poets. Let him try his hand, for instance, at some of Schiller's dramas, and begin with that striking play " 'The Robbers," which has ne v er b een ade quately rendered into English, and to which, we doubt not, he will do ample justice. To be sure, the play exhibits frequent traces of youthful haste, and imma ture judgment; but it is full of spirit and enthu siasm, and well worthy of Mr. Filmore's attention. CHATTERTON'S WORKS, 2 Vols. Grant, Cambridge, 1842. In this edition we have all Chatterton's acknow ledged works, both in prose and verse, together with his celebrated Rowley forgeries, which occasioned such a hot controversy among learned antiquaries, and heaped such a weight of unmerited scandal on the head of the unhappy author. The interest at tached to the controversy has long since died away, never to b-3 revived ; but not so the memory of Chat . terton, who will be long regarded, by those who are familiar with the circumstames of his Rowley forge ries, and the: poems themselves, as the most remark ably precocious genius that the last century produced. At the early age of sixteen, he had fitbricated dramas and • lyrics of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, which per plexed some of the wisest and shrewdest critics of the age, and filled the public at large with astonishment at the powers of imagination and sensibility displayed in them; and at seventeen, he had terminatedhis chequered, meteoric career, by poison, under the most afflicting .circumstances ! hlad Chatterton lived, and kept the promise of his early dawn, he would have been with out doubt one of the most illustrious of the Einng lish poets ; for his fancy was fertile in au emi nent degree, his command of language was un bounded, his feeling unquestionable. and his faults were. all those of an exuberant, but unripened intellect. In his private character he seems to have possessed much of the pride, wilfulness, caprice, and sardonic humour of Lord Byron ; and, like him, to have been the veriest slave to his passions. But think ing of his hard lot and early grave, it is impossible to animadvert with severity on his errors ; if he yielded to every stormy gust of feeling, and was swayed by every varying mood of his mind, disdaining to listen to the cool dictates of judgment, he paid the penalty of his infirmity—and what a penalty it was--4 year's starvation and soli tude in a London garret, to be terminated only by suicide, and a pauper's burial in a workhouse in Shoe lane ! The life of Chatterton, which introduces this edition of his works, is penned in a judicious and dis passionate' spirit, and the biographer has the good ,sense to scout, with the contempt they deserve, the calumnies which were so perseveringly heaped on Horace Walpole, for his supposed ill-treatment of the young Bristol poet. THOUGHTS AT WHITSUNTIDE. Macon, London, 1842. We recognise in this little unpretending volume of poems, the presence of an elastic fancy that disposes to enjoyment, and looks on everything with the sunny eye of hope and cheerfulness ; but we will not so far Hatter the author, as to assert that we can trace in his prOductions any of the earnest inspiration of genius. Lord Leigh is an accomplisbect versit:ver, but not a poet. He has graceful and carious scholarship ; a sound judgment, that prevents him from falling into affectations and puerilities ; and a quick ear for the melody of rhyme ; but he has not that passionate sensibility and fervid imagination, without which nothing great or lasting was ever yet achieved in poetry. The range of his powers is limited, and he seems to be aware of the fact ; hence, what he undertakes to do, he does well, as is generally the case with those whose ambition and capacity are nicely adjusted to each other. We are lore particularly pleased with the calm, uniform tone of good sense that pervades his writings and forms the principal charm of his " Thoughtsl at Whitsuntide; and though we cannot admit his claims to be considered a poet,. in the true and enlarged sense of the term, yet we will readily allow that be is as far superior to " the mob of gen tlemen who write with ease," as the " Paradise Lost" of Milton is superior to the bombastic " Satan 7 of Mr. Robert Montgomery. THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE. The article on " Leases " has great merit. The object of it is to induce the landowners of the United Kingdom to abandon the present practice of letting , their farms from year to year, and adopt in lieu there of lease: of from twelve to twenty. It is only sur prising that this system has not long ago become g,eneral. Leases are so manifestly advantageous to landlord as well as tenant, that we can account, for a contrary practice in England, only from some vague idea that, by obtaining leases, the tenants would be come independent of the landlord; and the county squires would thereby lose that political influence, which they seem to prize more than good rents and happy tenants. This is utterly absurd. A tenant never can become independent ofhis landlord ; and if only well treated, would, in nine eases out of ten, even with a long lea.se, be inclined to concur in his political views, or, at all events, not to oppose them. The arguments on this sultlect are so excellent, and expressed in such intelligible language, that we give them at length. The whole article, however, which byis written Air. John Hannan], of North Deighton, Yorkshire, ought to be studied carefully. Were its principles acted upon throughout England, improve ments would take place, of which the present gene ration of farmers have no idea, and rents would in time be increased at least one-third:— " One objection," says the writer, " which I anticipate, to the extensive letting of farms on lease, is, that it Would make the farmer too independent—i. e. it .could destroy the influence of property, and give the tenant too much control over his land, so as to enable him to neglect or rob it. " In reply to the first part of the objection. I have only to say, that if, by the influence of property, is meant an absolute, and, in many cases, consequently, an ' arbitrary command over the tenant's property, and an unlimited hold upon his free will as a farmer, and his opinions as a man—such an influence, in fact, as apper tained to property in the feudal ages—the system would operate to diminish that influence. That, however, it would injure that fair and legitimate influence which the owner ought to have over the cultivator of the soil, I deny. The source of a landlord's legitimate influence is not his power to do evil, but his ability to do good ; and I do believe, much as the landlord's influence is apt to be sneered at, that, in the agricultural districts, at least, where it depends upon the former in one case, in ten it springs from the latter feeling. Indeed, the connexion between the landlord and the tenant is too intimate, their interests are too much alike, and the value of a good un derstanding at all times too apparent, to cause any dimi nution of the landlord's proper iafluence, or any abuse of the tenant's temporary power, under the lease system. ". That his temporary power, or independence, would lead the tenant to neglect his farm, is equally unlikely. His own interest is guarantee sufficient that he would not injure his land by improper management, during the earlier years comprised in his lease, while an effective stipulation, or covenant, would guard the other and latter years. Thus, say we let a farm on lease fur twenty years, the plan would be for the tenant to manage as he thought fit for the first sixteen years (a few injurious crops, according to local or natural disad vantages for such, perhaps, excepted), but to be com pelled, by a precautionary covenant in his lease, to pur sue a certain course of cropping and of tillage for the last four years. " Upon this plan, if a tenant's system of management was a good one, he might have his lease renewed at the expiration of the sixteen years, when he would be at liberty to pursue his own system, and the compulsory clause would never come into operation." There are several other excellent articles in this :Cumber ; and, among the .rest, an amusing one on Indiscriminate Charity." We, therefore, recom mend the 'Number for June to the attention of our agricultural readers. THE LOTTERY OF LIFE. 3 Vols. Colburn, London, 1840. Lady' Blessington, to whose lively pen we are indebted for these volumes, has succeeded in interest ing -us deeply in her " Lottery of Life." which is a' tr!le skilfully put together, and abounding in easy and Vida sk,,stvhes. of London life, such as Ave at once re ''',gnise to be genuine transcripts from nature. The narrative, as its title imports. is a» -illustration of the sudden - and - eventful changes that often take place in the fortunes of individuals ; and the principal per- SOnage, Richard Wallingford, is a young man of humble origin, who having, at an early period of. his life, been taken into the house of a. rich banker, Abra ham Mortimer, as a sort of companion .for• hiS 'son, Percy, is next placed as a. clerk in his patron's bank, where he becomes acquainted with the housekeeper, Mrs. Chatterton, a benevolent old lady, but awfully addicted to the telling of long stories. Shortly after Richard Wallingford bas entered on his , . :a ...-..) t....-,,- ...: • ~-,' "l V - '''',::°," - 7# V • •7- ' _ sfne a,, . clerkship, the bank stops paOlent, and Perm: Mortimer, who has been pla -- g „, - e , part ,4 •- a dissipated luau of fashion at Chdo . tA - c o mp e il,4. yke to leave the University, and even d to indi-• genre ; by- the assistance, however, o. cef IVallingford and Mrs. Chatterton, aided by the kindly friendship of one of his college chums, Lord Mordaunt, he obtains the means of discharging Us debts, and is appointed private secretary to the English Ambassador R it ITienna, while kichard Wallingford; whose sister he marries, woos and wins the hand 'of, Lady Mara : Mord:unit, through -whose finnily influence he pro-- cures the lucrative and honourable appointment of Minister at the Court of Turin. The story is told by IVallingfurd in the first person, and contains several highly finished portraits; that of Mrs. Chatterton,„akt particular, with her kind and unsophisticated heart, and unfortunate predilection for the prolix, is main , tained throughout with uniform spirit and propriety. The remark of this deaf old lady, " Speak a little louder, young man ; its very strange no one will speak loud enough at present to be heard ! When I was young every body spoke loud enough ;"—this pass'- ing remark is perfectly true to nature,.and shows with what attention the authoress has Watched the nicer and minuter points of character. LIFE OF GENERAL MACKAY. Bull, London, 1842. General Hugh Mackay, the sultiect of this biogra phical sketch, was Commander-in-Chief of the Scot . - tish forces in 1689 and 1690; he was also Colonel of the Scottish brigade, in the service of the States General, and died in 1092 of &wound received at the battle of Steinkirk, which was fought between the English and French, and lost by the former, owi ng , as was supposed, to th e re mova l of Mackay from the field, in consequence of his wound. From the pre sent memoir, which is the production of one of his descendants, the General seems, to have been endowed with military talents of a high order, and, as a pri vate individual, to have been remarkable fur the rigid morality of his conduct, and the fervour of • his reli gious feelings.. He was opposed to the famous Lora Dundee, at the battle of Itillicrankie, where, though defeated, he distinguished hims e lf by his kill anr. courage. The present memoir of him bears evident marks of authenticity, but has scarcely sufficient in terest for the generality of readers. HUTS 1.1 ON BEES.

We on Tuesday attended aprivate view of this exhi .bition, which, in addition to several paintings by the old masters, contains the majority of the best picture of the late. Sir David Wilkie, together with many ot the ketches which he made during his last tour in the East. With the master-pieces of this eminent artist the public is already familiar ; and we need, there fore, say little more than that they are all clustered to gether in two of rooms of the'lnstitution, specially devoted to that purpose. Here are the famous. paintings of " The Distraining for Rent," in which the pathos is so exquisite • the "Chelsea Pensioner's reading the Gazette of the Battle of Waterloo ;" the " Penny !Wedding;" " John Knox Preaching," wherein the arti-t took a higher and bolder flight than was usual with him ; the " Parish Beadle," which forcibly recalls Boz's admirable portrait of Mr. Bumble; " Duncan Gray ;" the " Pedlar ;" an d a variety' of paintings on Spanish subjects, which, however, .tlo trot rank among Sir David Wilkie's happiest efforts • Among his sketches, the most striking is, perhaps the head of Talleyrand, which, unfinished as it is, there, is no possibility of mistaking. The South Room con tains a collection of paintings by the old masters. No..' 149, "The Virgin weeping over the Dead Body of our Saviour," is by Guercino, who has delineated with consumate force and truth the fallen mouth, and heavy relaxed arms of the dead Christ. No. 155, is one of Titian's works, and represents " Adonis going to the chase," contrary to the wish of Venus, who is clinging to him, in the vain hope of persuading him to remain inactive by her side. The colouring of this picture has been much injured by time, but enough remains to show how rich and lustrous it must once have been. No. 158, " St. Peter Repentant," is one of Vandyke's most vigorous paintings. Nothing can surpass the expression a remorse and agony that appears in the countenance of the Saint. No. 180, " The Last Supper," is by Sasso Ferrato. It is by ne means of first-rate excellence,-indeed, the face of the Saviour is a very feeble attempt ; but as it is the avowed production of an old master, we doubt not it will always find plenty . of admirers. No. 184, " St. Francis, with the infimt Christ," is chiefly deserving of notice from the masterly. disposition of the drapery on the person of the Saint. The colouring, too, is vigorous, but the infant Christ, wants elevation of senthnent. The countenance is not j merely perplexing, but decidedly opposed to all our received n o ti o n s o f Christ's appearance in Iris boy- hood. We have seen many Al urillo's incomparably superior to this specimen. No. 191, " Diogenes," is characterised by an expression of bitter sarcasm and distrust.. The cynic is 'looking about with his lan them for an hone. 4 man--according to the old tra dition ; and it is plain to see from his countenance, that he despairs of ever finding one. On the whole, the exhibition is an interesting our, chiefly, however, in consequence of Sir David Willie's sketches. POR7'R.4 IT oi ;- AUGUSTA OF CA MBRI DGE. Graves and C., Lonrifni, 1842.

FROM THE MORNING PAPEfO!3 OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The great interest which the proclamation re-, specting the light sovereigns has excited is illustrated by the number of letters which have been received on the subject from parties connected wiqi various branches of trade, all of shorn are complaining of the inconvenience to which they are sub jected. Some seem to be at a loss how to dispose of their sove reigns at all; so completely hare they been used to consider them merely as coin that they do not seem to have thought of the Mint, or of the bullion merchant. Others complain of the dif•• ficulties they have met at the Custom-house, from the receivers exercising a vigilance which had not been known heretofore. The chief misfortune is, that the hardship falls to the greatest. degree on those who are engaged in retail business, and con sequently on many who are not in the most opulent circum stances, and have numerous difficulties to contend wish. For: merly the loss fell upon the bankers, but since the proclamation these have refused to take such sovereigns as have not the full weight, and consequently the tradespeople are left' with them on their hands. The average loss on the light, sovereigns seems to be, if we compare different accounts, &Witt exi. in the pound. SUN.—Yesterday the subjoined notice, which gave much satisfaction in the many circles, although it only provides for a certain class, Rho have in their possession lifiht sovereigns, was issued from the Bank of England. However, it appears. very clear, that some other measure must likewise be adopted to afford the same facility to those who may happen to have a less sum than the minimum fixed : " Bank of Engleid, June 9, 1842.
