" It has often occurred to me as something wonderful, that, amongst the variety of books which are to be met with, on the important subject of Religion, there should still be wanted a ma nual for the information and direction of the Minister in his daily intercourse with sick persona and other members of his flock. " Having been in the habit then, for several years, of remark ing this defect of instruction with regard to practical divinity, and the whole business of a Parish Priest, and having myself mean while been thrown perpetually into the most interesting and awful scenes with my own Parishioners, I determined at length to take up my pen, and to commit to paper whatever, having passed under my personal observation, might be most likely to be useful to others of the same profession. " I had no thought originally of doing more than assist my younger brethren of the cleric : who might be appointed to the management of large parish 2.,, without time or opportunities to prepare themselves in an adequate manner for so difficult and momentous an undertaking. But, in proceeding with my work, I began to flatter myself with the notion, that it may possibly both amuse and instruct every description of readers—many per sona may be tempted, upon the recommendation of the Clergy, to peruse the book ; and may find unexpectedly their fancy pleased, their knowledge increased, and their hearts touched and im proved."—Preface.

THE MARRIAGE of PELEITS and THETIS, a POEM Translated from the Latin of Catullus, with some Notes and the Original annexed. By the Rev. G. F. Ottey, A.M. of Oriel College, Curate of Sonthfleet, Kent.—London, 1827, pp. .50. The works of Catullus have, for reasons sufficiently obvious, seldom, if ever, formed a part of the common course of classic edu cation. Hence while they have been generally passed over with one sweeping sentence of condemnation, (which it will be readily admitted they for the most part too well deserve,) some portions have been indiscriminately involved in the censure, which candour would require silo - Aid have been honourably excepted. Of this description is the exquisite little poem of which Mr. Ottey has favoured the public with a translation ; the only one (as far a s we are aware) which has been executed. The original is dis- ' tinguished for an easy gracefulness, a light and highly beautiful style of diction, which, combined with a peculiar felicity of ex pression, place it in the highest rank of the class of compositions to which it belongs. The poem is irregular in its plan and con struction, and the author seems to have abandoned himself without scruple to follow the bent of his excursive imagination. Mr. Ottey's translation is, we think, eminently successful in trans fusing, as f ar as can be done, the spirit and expression of the ori ginal into English metrical stanzas. 'The metre is that of Spenser, which, we think, is a dopted with peculiar judgment and effect, The impression made by the whole is fully that which the spirit of the original would convey. In the present times, classical learning, and a taste for classical fiction, is so generally diffused, that we are persuaded a large portion of the public will enter into the beauties of the work. We will extract, as a specimen, the to the passage--" 0 nimis op following lines corresponding tato," &c. Oh in the world's too happy season born, Immortal heroes ! godlike spirits ! ye, Full often shall your poet's song adorn. And thou, 0 Peleus, pride of Thessaly, In nuptial bliss excelling ! Jove to thee His love did yield. And did thy soul admire Neptune's fair daughter ? Did the Queen of Sea Thy suit accept ? Nor ocean, royal sire, Who all the world surrounds, reject thy bold desire ? Iv. " The wish'd for day arrives: all Thessaly In joyful numbers throng the royal dome ; Their gifts, their looks, proclaim their royal glee. From Scyroa and from Tempe, and their home, At Cranon, and Larissa's walls they come To Pharsalie! to Pharsalie ! the plains Untill'd are left at large the oxen roam ; No more the bill the noxious shade restrains : Uncleared the vineyard lies ; unus'd the plough remains. " But the fair palace, thro' each rich receFt With silver and with gold did brightly shine With glittering g oblets which the tables press, And costly seats, and every splendid sign Of regal treasure. Chief the genial shrine, With ivory richly wrought, was set, and clos'd Its rosy curtains, for the bride divine. The curtains' broider'd work the deeds diselos'd Of warrior men of old, with wondrous art composed." Upon the wh o l e , w e think, the work displays th e poet i ca l t a l en ts of the translator, as well as his classical taste and knowledge, in a very favourable point of view. It is dedicated to the Very Rev. Dr. Copleston, Dean of Chester and Provost of Oriel College. We have received numerous letters from persons making anxious enquiries a bni , . tie national monument to the memory of his late Royal Highnel9l the Duke of York. All we are enabled to say is, that the national monument is at an end; but we believe, a military one may be heard of at the Hoag Guards. The original plan was, to give the British nation an opportunity of recording its sense of the publie and private charac ter of the deceased Prince ; but the projectors and promoters of this scheme were out-generalled by one who has achieved the same thing on former and more important occasions. What is doing, or what is intended to be done, we are the less solicitous to inquire, because, being now a sort of private undertaking, the public have no interest in prying into its management.—New Times. GENERAL ORDER. Horse-Guards, March 14, 1827. It appears that the General Order of the 9th of August, 1826, has not been properly understood throughout the Army, and that much irregularity still exists, regarding the care of ammu nition in the possession of regiments, and the return of it into store, as occasion may require. The Commander-in-Chief finds it necessary, therefore, to give more explicit instructions, in ;` - rtii:r to avert the evils likely to result from a want of attention to this subject. . . First. All regiments are to have, its the constant possession of the men, ten rounds of service ammunition, which is to be under the daily inspection of Officers of companies. • Secondly. When any emergent circumstance shall arise to call for a further supply, it will be afforded, •to the extent of fifty rounds per man, so as to till the pouches which are calculated to hold sixty cartridges. Thirdly. This ammunition must be carried by the soldier ; and should the emergency require the possession of a still further sup ply, such excess must be kept in the barrack store or magazine, and on the march be carried in the usual manner with other re gimental stores, under the special charge of the Quarter-Master. Fourthly. When the emergency shall cease, under which extra ammunition shall be issued, the excess in possession of the men, as well as that in charge of the Quarter-Master, shall be delivered into an ordnance store, when a regiment shall come within the immediate vicinity of any of the ordnance stations. Fifthly. When ammunition in possession of the men shall be come loose, or broken, it shall be taken from them, and carried tinder charge of the Quarter-Master until an opportunity shall offer of delivering it into, or exchanging it at, an Ordnance Store. Sixthly. Officers commanding Regiments are to require the ut most attention from Officers of Companies, to the constant inspec tion and care of the ammunition in possession of the men, and to direct that no loose or broken ammunition shall ever be permitted to remain in their pouches. Seventhly. All practice ammunition is to be kept and car ried under charge of the Quarter-Master, who will preserve a correct distinction in his returns between practice and service am munition. Commanding Officers of Regiments are held strictly responsible for the exact observance of all these Orders, so that no ammuni tion shall ever be left, under any circumstances, in barracks or quarters. . .

Mr. PENNINGTON opened the pleadings. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for refusing to fulfil a promise to marry her, which promise, as the declaration al leged, he had before made. Mr. CLARKE said that the Jury had ascertained from the pleadings opened to them by his Learned Friend, that this was an action by which the plaintiff sought to recover a compensation in damages from the defendant for a very wanton injury—an injury without remedy—inflicted on her by the unfeeling conduct of the plaintiff. The defendant was a man who had not the license of youth to excuse his criminality. He was, in fact, a veteran 8.2- duccr, and his years had procured him an racy passport to an intimacy with the plaintiff's friends, beyond that which would have been conceded to the more youthful lover. Of that permis sion it would appear that this man had taken advantage, and that, lured by his promise to marry her, she had actually surren dered to him her honour. it was in the year 1822 that the ac quaintance was formed between the plaintiff and defendant. The defendant was then nearly fifty years of age. It was at the house of Mr. Hall, whom he should call as a witness before them, that the plaintiff and defendant had first formed iAn inti macy. It would be proved, and especially on one remarkable oc casion, that while there the declarations of the defendant. were so distinct as to leave not the slightest doubt as to his intentions. The bride's-maid was even named—the wedding was spoken of as a certain event, and no doubt existed as to the speedy consumma tion of the plaintiff's happiness. It was unfortunate that Mr. Hall at this period permitted the defendant to continue his visits— to remain up with this lady after the rest of the family had re tired to rest—that the defendant took advantage of her unguarded situation, and a child was the consequence of this incautiously permitted intimacy. Up to the latest moment, however, the da fendant had promised to right, as far as in him lay, this woman ; and it was not until he had by a :ecent marriage rendered it ins possible to accomplish his vow, that this proceeding was instituted. It appeared from tile evidence of Mr. Hall, that the defendant had, in the year 1822, paid very particular attention to Miss Levers; the defendant was a relative of his own, and therefore he had no suspicions of any dishonourable intentions on his part. He had taken advantage of the opportunities afforded to him of pay ing his addresses to Miss Levers, and effected her seduction. There was no:ling remarkable in the testimol'y of Mrs. Hall, exc niece.epther de c laration that the defendant , had lately married his own The CHIEF JUSTlCE—Married his own niece?--Yes, my Lord, his own sister's daughter ! The lady further stated, that after she and her husband retired to bed, the plaintiff and de fendant continued to remain in the same room for two or even three hours. Miss Kirk—Remembered to have been present at Horsing ham Feast ; she saw Jane Levers the plaintiff and the defendant there ; the defendant paid her very marked attention ; she was a good deal joked about it by the company present; I remember when I was leaving, he first shook hands with me, and afterwards he insisted on kissing me, saving, we should all soon be one family. Cross-examined by the COMMON SERGEANT—The defendant is a stout gentleman, upwards of fifty. ;lira. Harrison—l am the wife of a grocer, at Nottingham ; I remember to have been present at Horsingham feast, at a visit to Mr. Hall ; I remained there for two days ; I observed the de fendant very attentive to Jane Levers ; he seemed to expect that all the company should recognise him as her intended husband ; he said to Jane Levers ; "Jane, we must have a leaf out of Mrs. Harrison's book ;" I had been at that time lately married ; he asked Miss Nutt, if she would not become bride's-maid ; he was joked about the marriage by the whole company. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Pray Ma'am, was all this in jest or earnest ?—I believed it in earnest. The CHIEF JUSTICE.—Do they talk publicly before large corn. panics, of these matters, in this county, when they are in earnest ? —lt was a family party ; Miss Nutt accompanied the defendant from the feast to Nottingham ; she rode with him in his gig ; they had before been speaking of his marriage ; he had asked her to be bride's-maid with Miss Kirk ; he complained of the age and stupidity of the housekeeper he then had, and witness said to him, you will soon have a young housekeeper ; he replied he should, and that he thought Miss Levers would make a very good wife. Cross-examined by the COMMON SERJEA KT.-This was five years ago ; .1 was then very young. What age are you now, Miss Nutt? The Curre Jusrice.—That's not a fair question. The COMMON SERJEANT.-4 shall certainly not believe you are twenty unless you swear to it.—(A laugh.)- 110 w do c ollect all this so accurately ?—Because I wrote Jane Levers account of our con versation.p r operty. It Evidence was then given as to the defendant's p appeared that he p ossesse d a b ou t 15,000/. M r. CLARKE.—My to call witnesses in Lord, I now pr o p ose yon raen support of the plaintiff's character. i s the plaintiff's case. Mr. CLARKE —This, then, The CoslaroN SERGEANT (M r. Reader was on the same side) action,The a C d u rn l i E ss F ib J l u e.S TlCE—l do not think such evidence is, in this addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant. This was an .vith the most perfect confidence, if they had ever heard of si‘ cue ection for a breach of promise of marriage , and he a s ked the Jury' 91 . the kind in which it was so difficult to discover any thing a p. xoaching to a proraise to marry ? It would seem that at some :.east; amidst much rural mirth and beer drinking, this old gentle.. :Liao became a joke to the party, and he entered into the spirit of 'he pleasantry around him, and declared that when he married the lairo.iff, some young lady of the party should be heide's-mai▪ d.—.. - .Vas teat the way in which people who meditated a marriage onversed upon such a subject? But it seems that he had hissed Miss Kirk, and talked of their future relationship• ~... ',Veil, there was nothing very criminal in all that. It was perfectly natural to take advantage of -ny excuse 'that would give him the . privilege of saluting such a very pretty-looking person as that witness appeared td-day.-:-.(A laugh. )-:—These were really the most excusable little peccadilloes in life,. and there was not a single gentleman in the Jury-box who would hesitate about their commission. Well, then, if there had been a promise, and he humbly submitted to the Jury, that it rested upon very flimsy evidence, the remaining question was, to what damages was the plaintiff entitled for the loss she had endured by the defendant's refusal to fulfil that promise? In all these cases, the character of the woman was chiefly to be considered. If she had been early in life lured by a promise of marriage to build her hopes on the accomplishment of all that her engaged affection anticipated.—if the had preserved a fame spotless through her injury—then, indeed, no pun'es ment was too severe, no deeradatton too low, far the wretch who thus deserted her in her affection, and in het innocence. But what confidence could a man place in the ho nour of one who had sacrificed her reputation before marriage-- who had yielded her fame, an easy and worthless victory to him, who could therefore form no reasonable expectation that ebe would continue true to him? The LORD CHIEF JUSTlCE—Gentlemen of the Jury, with re spect to the last topic which the Learned Common Sergeant has just addressed to you, I am happy to tell you that your verdict can not have the effect which, with such anxiety, he seems to depre cate. By that infamous and incestuous marriage of which you have had evidence to-day, the defendant has secured, quite inde pendent of your verdict—his own degradation. The Ecclesi astical Law has pronounce.: ,lion such a marriage, and therefore you need be under no peculiar apprehension as to your verdict in flicting upon this defendant a deeper disgrace than that which his own conduct has already secured to him. I admit, Gentlemen, that this topic is in no way connected with the present case ; but as the Learned Counsel for the defendant expressed some fear for his client's fame, I thought it right to satisfy him and you that your verdict could never have the effect which he conjectured.— Gentlemen, if the question in this case was as to the propriety or impropriety of the conduct of Mr. and Mrs. Hall, you could have but little difficulty in denouncing the culpable negligence with which they seem to have iegarded the reputation of this young woman. Undoubtedly their conduct was only equalled in guilt— far exceeded it was—by him who could take advantage of a privi iege incautiously conceded, to effect the ruin of her to whom he was professing an honourable attachment. The real questions in this case, however, are two—first, has there been a promise to marry ? and, secondly, if there has been such a promise, to what damages is the plaintiff entitled ? In contracts of this description, you judge not as in other contracts, from no written document —that is out of the question—but by the conduct of the parties. In judging of that conduct—too, you will not fail to remember their situation in life. It is quite true, that in refined life, that havefamiliarity an d joking t s i o po n n iu s c o h de r, lie c d a a t ;, c s e u u bject ldno as t he ni d ar is r e i o a v geer,which we edof. But in Courts of Justice we come, as it were, into contact with all parties, and we know that the same restraints, the same deli cacy of allusion, which distinguishes polished life, are not to be found in that condition of it to which these people belong. With this recollection, Gentlemen, you will, I think, feel convinced, that if the very decent witnesses who were called before you to day spoke the truth, no rational mind can entertain a doubt, but that this defendant promised to marry the plaintiff. The Jury retired for nearly half an hour, and, on their return into Court, the Foreman, in reply to the usual question from the Clerk of Assize, said—We find for the plaintiff. Damages, Six teen Hundred Pounds. This. was the last case tried in the County Court of the slightest interest. In the Crown Court, an assault case, from which ranch entertainment was expected, was made a remand. The Judges proceeded to Derby, and opened the Commission there this evening. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—STAFFORD, MARcn IP. CROWN SIDE. lVto. Rogers, alias Adin, aged 57, was indicted for assault ing Cath. Chawner, an infant under 10 years of age, on Oct. 12, 1826, at Uttoxeter, with an unlawful attempt. Mr. WHATELEY conducted the prosecution. The child, Cath. Chawner, aged nine years, proved the pri soner's guilt, not only on the day in question, but also on several days for nearly eight weeks before. The prisoner was in the ha bit of giving her apples, halfpence, &c. On the 12th of October the prisoner met her, and took her by the hand to the school house bridge, near which the offence was committed. The pri soner said, if she told her father or mother he should certainly hear of it, and he would flog her. The mother of the child, Mr. Allport (a surgeon), and a girl named Sarah Jumps, were called, and completely proved the pri soner's guilt.—The Jury immediately found him Guilty. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN paned sentence.— ,, William Rogers. you have been convicted of a misdemeanour of the most heinous and aggravated nature. The Court adjudges you to three years' lin. prisonment, and that you be kept during that time to hard labour. Thomas Acton and John Tibbits were indicted for stealing 1051 h. of copper on the 20th of October, at the parish of Smith. wick, the property of Messrs Bolton and Watt ; and Jacob Weaver and Mary Wood were indicted for receiving the same copper, knowing it to have been stolen. The Jury acquitted Weaver, and found the three other prisoners guilty. Mr. Baron VAUGIIAN.—Acton and Tibbits, the sentence of the Court is, that you be transported for seven years. Your offence, Mrs. Wood, is still more aggravated. If there wert no receivers, there would be no thieves. It is doubly incumbent to make a se%.2re example of you. Your sentence therefore is, that you be transported for 14 years. Se-nuel Warner and William Mace were indicted for a burglar;• in the house of Mrs. Bolton, a butcher, of Wolver hampton, and stealing thereout twelve sovereigns, two half sove reigns, and a large quantity of silver. Verdict— Guilty. Mr. Baron VAUCHAN--4t is melancholy to observe boys like you guilty of such offences, and difficult to settle what is to be come of you ; you must not expect to remain in the country, or ever to retarn to it again. - DORCHESTER, Maacti 18. Henry Brown was indicted for violating Fanny Thom sod at the workhouse of Melcombe Regis. Fanny Thompson called and examined. --I am a married woman ; in July last I was in the poor-house at Weymouth ;my husband was at his mother's at 'Weymouth ; the poor-house wu there also; I was employed to make the beds there ; I had two young children there ; I went to make the beds with Ann Jacobs between tea and eleven in the morning ; we went up stairs together ; Ann Jacobs did not go into the room with me ; she went about two or three rooms abov.. me on the same floor ; that is farther on. There were several partitions between us. I did not see the prisoner, or k now that he was there. When I took the clothes off the be d, found a man there. When I took the blanket down. I felt some person lay hold of my leg. He was under the bed. I said, " G ood Ged, what's that ?" He said, " It's me, nay dear." He got fr om under the bed, letting my leg go, and threw me immediately on the bed, and put the rug in my mouth. My hands T:ere behind me. Ido not know how they got there. The JUDOE.-111r. Bond, have you seen the depositions? thee are such wonderful discrepancies ! Wi tness c ontinued —A nn Jacobs first went into a di st and then came i nto the next room. (The witness thetaaidtestsFeicetbnel!, what had taken p lace, from which it appeared that t he f acts sary to complete the crime had unquestionably b een committed.) Ann Jacobs came into the room whilst the P dog there riso in nerwas " He on the bed. She said, " Oh, Brown, what are y ou said, if she ca me in he would serve her in th e same way . I l e ft the room, and went down immediately rues. telling him, I complained of it to the mas t e r when I got down : whils t Ithe mistress came in, and I told her. Ann Jacobs was called, and directly contradicted the last wit ness. It was the next room she went into when Thompson went into the bed-room. The JUDGE asked Mr. Bond if, after this discrepancy, he would proceed. In three several% points did the examination of Thomp son now and befor e the lagistrates differ. If Jacobs wee in the next room she mus t have heard all that took place.. Mr. Bolin said that he would give up the case. The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner. .Roberti. Brown and Whi tt l e were indicted capitally for aiding and abetting a large body of persons in illegally landing a quantity of spirits, near Lulworth, they being armed.--After,a long trial they were acquitted. The crowd began to clap, but the Judge orderer theorist* stantly to desist. Sir Robert Steele came into Court, and gave bail to a bat found by the Grand Jury for a libel on Captain Garth.
