The Dictionary bearing, the abOve title.-may really be considered' as highly-advantageous , to the Student' of the,". Language of.Song;! Mr. PETRONJ has, we understand, been , for . several. years employed in the compilation of the,work; and has at length, with the active co-operation of Mr. DAVENPORT, succeeded in•completing it differs from the Dictionaries hitherto in use,in. as much as the accentuation of each word has been carefully marked, and the. pronunciation consequently much facilitated. It is also consi-: derably more copious, containing 15,000 .more' words than the celebrated Dictionary of riAnumk This we consider to be highly a dvantageous, and the introduction of the technical terms of the lan guage must afford considerable assistance to the. learner. We extract the following passage fromi the announcement of the work, as it spews the principle on which it is compiled : " More than N years have now elapsed since the publication of Baretti's Dictionary, which, although professedly compiled from that of the Della Crusca, does not contain all the words found even in that Vocabulary. This imperfection was ren dered still more serious, by the subsequent appearance of the copious Dictionary of Alberti, which included .several thousand words more than any other lexicographical work of the Italian language. The meagreness and poverty of Baretti's compil ation thus became so apparent, that nothing but the want of a superior work of the kind could have ensured it so.large a share of public patronage. In the Dictionary now published by Mr. Petronj, will be found, not only all the words contained in•the Della Crusca, and Alberti, with their equivalents in French and English, but also many new ones of recent introduction into the language, together with the philological remarks of Monti, one of the most celebrated Italian critics. Mr.' P. also, for the first time, has marked the exact pronunciation of every Italian word, the irregularities of verbs, the doubtful plurals of nouns, &c. &c. Alr. Davenport has rendered the second volume par ticularly useful to Foreigners, by marking the accentuation of every English word, and by the addition of a synopsis of English Grammar, founded upon the principles of the best modern Grammarians. An impartial Public will readily per ceive and appreciate the decided superiority of the present Work over its predecessor, and the great advantages which it affords to all who are desirous of perfecting themselves in the harmonious language of Italy." Our Readers will see by the preceding extract, that the plan of thii work is very superior to that generally adopted in. the compilation of Diction aries, and it only remains for us to observe that the plan has been strictly adhered to,and reflects great credit on the united efforts of Messrs. PETRONJ and DIVEMPORT. The English por tion superintended by the latter Gentleman is executed with great care, and is particularly useful to Foreigners, from the marking of the accentuation. We now dismiss it, with the con viction that our Readers will find it invaluable in their Italian studies, just observing that Mr. PETRUNJ could not have chosen a more able coadjutor than Mr. DAVENPORT, who has long possessed a high reputation as a Teacher of Languages. tailor, W die Court ret, Fills. verbaPlP' nd 22 1 at Ittornie 9 A lon ; bankers, eleven , at la PLOP trt, Buck, y 17, 16 ' lia.n cell- , Covent t twelyef ck, Skip' Templ e, el une A 5 Messrs; ' 2a - rrs an(' and June ney, Mr. une 1, 5, lies, D 1 an er, IVO Preston. and 31' nil Jan e essi hlessr' at ten, at Alessi*. flay O' :ingstanci ley, °A den au" ort, D e " [even, a s.

CO BBETT Yesterday, Mr. COBBETT was .heard on his Petition before a Committee of the House of Lords, against a Bill for renewing the powers of the Trustees of the Kensington road. Mr. Cobbett's Petition had alleged that the Preamble of the Bill contained a direct falsehood ; and the supporters of the Bill were in the first instance called on to prove the Preamble. Witnesses were accordingly called to prove that improvements in the road were necessary, and were in contemplation. Mr. Cobbett then addressed the Committee, and sheaved, that while the Preamble alleged the trustees could not pay their debts, which amounted only to 5001., the treasurer had a much larger sum in his hands, and that there always was a balance in the hands of the treasurer, more than sufficient to pay the debts of the trust and pay the rest of the • sums the trust were bound to pay. But while the trust asked, and the Preamble stated, that these things could no be carried on without continuing the Powers of these Acts, the trus tees themselves had diminished the most valuable of these powers by two-fifths, or they had lowered the tolls to that amount. The fact was, that they had introduced the Bill into the other House with the scale of tolls according to their former amount, and when the trustees ascertained that the Bill would be opposed, then they reduce their tolls. The part of the preamble which related to the keeping the roads in repair, and paying certain sums of money, was therefore a falsehood, As to not carrying certain improvements into effect, Mr. Cobbett contended that they were not necessary ; that the trustees saw with great displeasure the houses at the side of roads, hut with prodigious satisfaction the houses in the middle of the road, with great gates on each side, which, in his opinion, were the greatest impediment of all. He objected to a particular clause in the hill, which orders carts, contrary to a general act of parliament, which were drawn by one horse, to be weighed, if they carried lime or ashes. This clause, he contended, was absurd. He asserted that at present the whole roads of this Trust were kept in order at the expence of Bs. per yard ; and of the whole 18 miles contained in the Trust, not above 5i miles were high turnpike ro a d, a nd th a t on the other scarcely a shilling in a year was ever expended ; so that the expence of keeping in repair the real turnpike road was considerably greater, and was probably not less than 335. per yard under the present management. Under a different ma nagement, throwing open the repairs to competition, he was sure that they might be kept in order at a much less expense, and the toll-gates at Hyde Park-corner and Pimlico, might be done away without levying any higher tolls at the other gates. Mr. Phillimore was heard in reply, but their Lordships consi dered that the preamble had not been proved, and reported ac cordingly. to the House. For the fate of the bill, see the report of the Lords. Tbe cuckoo was heard, and the swallow seen in the neighbourhood of Inverness on Sabbath last. After a continuation of drought and parch ing winds, which were beginning to be felt on the young crops, as well as on the herbage, we have had plentiful showers, end the country begins to look delightful. According to the calculations of Mr.Mackenzie,author of the System of thelVeather, the summer now approaching will be fine, mild, clear, and rather dry ; and the autumn will be considerably windy ; we shall have frequent thunder in the usual months, as observed in the summer of 1822, but which phenomenon Was very rare in the summer of 1823.; and there will be more of east w i n d up o n the season than l eas been experienced upon any summer for the last for the l a st 50 years,—(lnverness Courze t .) Sir .Joitir Ntestor.r. pronounced judgment viii this suit, which was an application to • the Court to set aside a probate which had been granted of, the will of the late Mr. Ellis ; on the ground that the testator was in An_ infirm state of mind at the time •of executing the, will, and also that the Court would grant probate of a former .will. By the first will the testator had divided hip property ; amounting to upvrardsof 70,0001., equally among his six nephews, but by will executed a few-days before his death these bequests were revoked ; and the great bulk. of the property bequeath ed .to Mr. John Ellis, who is the defendant to this suit, and who, it .seems, appeared in his capacity as Solicitor, had himself drawn up the will, by which he was so largely to have been benefited. At the time. of signing the will, the testator was so weak -as •to require to' have his hand guided ; and it alsoappeared, that after signing the deed, in the conversation that ensued, he appeared wholly ignorant of the nature of what he. had been doing. The Court, under these circumstances, set aside the probate of thin latter will, and decreed probate of the former one. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT 12. Iritlig V. PARKIXII. [We yesterday gave a brief account of this cause; the fol. lowing are further particulars.] Mr. PARICINS,on this cause being called on, took his station. on the floor, and proceeded to address the Court. He had now . to apply to their Lordships for a rule to chew cause why there should not be a new trial in the cause in which he was defen dant, and Byrne plaintiff, and never had any individual pre sented himself to the Court under circumstances more painful to a man of honour than he now did. He trusted the Court would make allowance for any errors .in which he might inad vertently fall, owing to his ignorance of the forms of the Court. He now held in his hand several affidavits on which he had to move the Court. The LORD CitrEr JUSTICE —You move on affidavits.. You had better hand them in, and have them read by the Officer. Indeed, it would be more regular that I should read my notes taken at the trial, for the information of the Court.— His Lordship accordingly proceeded to read his notes. The affidavits of the defendant and of two persons, nulled Taylor and Herbert, were then put in and read. The defend ant, in his affidavit, swore that the account he had given of the appropriation of the subscription monies received for Byrne was correct; and that the account entered in a certain book kept for that purpose was a true account. Taylor and Herbert also' swore to their belief, that the account entered in the book in question was a correct account. . The affidavits of. William Jackson and William Buckley Clark were also put in and read, and were similar in substance. The affidavit of the defendant, stating that he had been taken by surprise, was also tendered ; but it appearing that this was not sworn until yesterday, t he first four days of the Term having expired, the Court held that it could not be received. The defendant then proceeded to address the Cant, and to. complain of the attacks which had been made upon his charac ter. lie had been charged almost with murder—positively with robbery. A poor man, driven by strong necessity, would have been commiserated. Not such was his case — he was a rich man—he was not a man who had the excuse of necessity for robbery, and therefore he was condemned without a hear ing. It was known that he was rich—rich in property, and rich in a good conscience ; the first was proved by his having within these few weeks ofthred to embark upwards of 50,0001. in a certain speculation, but by the reports of malignant li bellers he was rendered poor—he was stripped of reputation— he could not support it.—(Here the worthy Ex-Sheriff shed tears.) The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE reminded the defendant that nothing he was now urging had any thing to do with the pre sent question. The defendant resumed—His character had been attacked,. traduced, and vilified, by th e f a l se h oo d s o f Scott, Cobbett, and others. Mr. Justice BAT LE y—Mr. Parkins, hear me :—you are now throwing abuse out upon persons who are not before the Court;' pray avoid such epithets—the Court cannot hear them. The Defendant—Yes, my Lord, I was obliged to sit on' thorns in this place for an hour and a half to hear a person, who was protected by his gown and wig, heap the grossest abuse on me. The LORD CHlsr JUSTICE—That case has nothing to dO with the present. The Defendant—Well then, my Lord, we will pass it over and come to the present case. The defendant then proceeded to comment on the evidence, and to go into a wide field of in vective against persons, some of whom were connected, and others unconnected, with the present trial, when The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE again stopped him, and ob served that the Court could not sit to hear such arguments. The Defendant—My Lord, you are in the habit of hearing, with patience, the arguments of those who come before you. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—The Court cannot sit to hear you or any man in England utter that•wkich they ought not to hear. The defendant again proceeded, and becoming again irregu... lar, was repeatedly stopped by the Court. et length he said, " My Lords, I am ready to pay all the money into Court, and abide by any decision your Lordships may come to, if I can but relieve my character from this imputation." The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Mr. Phillips, you are for the' plaintiff; can any thing be done to arrange this matter ? Mr. PHILLIPS—Wy, my Lord, I am here alone, without' the Solicitor for the plaintiff; we gave up a second verdict in consideration of this. ....M.................. ....... r. Justice .. BAYLEY —You took forty shillings, but perhaps,' you got more in this case than you ought in justice, to have taken. The question here is, whether you shall have a new trial, or a hether these damages should not be reduced ? Per haps the Jury gave a verdict here for more than you are en titled to keep. ready to try both actions over again. . • au m y heart ! The Defendant—With all my heart—wit h with all my heart ! do.
