" This is a psychological as well as a literary curiosity. The reflecting reader will have reward enough in what he learns respecting the manners, literature, prejudices, and habits of thought, of a populous and remarkable nation."-- Scotsman.

We do not know the class of English readers to whom so complete an acquaintance with Chinese manners, as is af forded in this work, will not be highly acceptable."_ Monthly Review.

THE LONDON SIGN PROJECTING LETTER, WINDOW TABLET, and SILL PLATE MANUFACTORY, 234, HIGH HOLBORN. nI CKERSON-and CO. beg to inform their numerous Friends and the Public, that the increas ing demand from most of the respectable Towns in the United Kingdom, particularly for their Foliage Ornamented Letters (of which they are the inventors), have induced them considerably to reduce their prices. They also beg to state, that they have expended a very considerable capital in procuring artists of the highest celebrity, and preparing i moulds for their letters, which for accuracy, boldness, and effect stand in public opinion unrivalled. Their Wood Letters for fronts of buildings, they not only strongly re commend as being best adapted for gilding, but as they have been known to endure in the highest state of perfec tion upwards of thirty years, when metal has perished in half that period. The Manufacturers sparing no expence to give every possible satisfaction, pledge their word to re place any of their letters that shall decay or in any way be affected by the weather within the space of twenty years, if painting at proper times be attended to. Each letter has brass fastenings screwed to the back, so that they may be removed and replaced without inconvenience, or injury to the letter. Specimens of their Foliage Letters may be seen on the front of Sadler's Wells Theatre ; of their Egyptians, Beaufort-house, Beaufort -buildings, Strand ; Messrs. Ro therham and Co., 38 and 39, Shoreditch ; of their Ro mans, Grand Surrey Docks; Steam-packet and Coach offices, Seminaries, Academies, &c. Margate : and in most of the respectable Towns in the Kingdom. Their exhibi tion, which has been a most elaborate undertaking, and many years in preparing, consisting of almost every letter now extant, descriptive of the various improvements made in the space of twenty years, together with a variety of appropriate and pleasing figures, is nearly complete, and, will shortly be submitted to public criticism.-....

They were both world viewed their thraldom with feelings of i n .[lstrangers to her, but oFie of them she had since ascer dignation, but with a hope that its boundary was tained to be Norman, the prisoner. Norman came fixed. At home a retrenching expenditure pro- ',up to her and said, " Don't wag or stir; it will be wised to relieve the burdens of the people, an d :worse for you if you do. If you make a noise, a liberal policy ensured the encouragement of ge nius, x have your brains out, and cut you down in two—stir am) the_ success of talent. It imparts a melancholy ;`,,if you dare; there are more outside to help me." ", satisfaction to the mind thus to dwell on the late Alarmed at these menaces, she remained silent, and glorious prospect ; but alas! it is past. George .:Norman then asked what money she bad ? §he Canning—a simple title, but in its simplicity m o r e ~replied, only a few halfpence, and put her hand into ! ennobled than if dignified by the fading honours e r:',her pocket for the purpose of giving him what money a coronet—lives only in the memory and affections she had ; when he said, " Curse your hand ; take of his countrymen and of the civilized world. The :it away, and let me put mine in." He then put postscript in our last number announced the danger- "'his hand into her pocket, and emptied it of its ous illness of the Premier, and at four o'clock :contents, which he put into his own. The other on Wednesday morning he expired ; his dying::'man, who had stood by all this time, then breath proclaiming his wishes for the welfare - . reached down a watch which was hanging over the of that country which he had laboured for mantel-shelf, and gave it to Norman, who put that ' through evil and good. report during his ex- also into his pocket.

In about an hour or two she went to Mr. Wheatley, a friend, who lived a little way off; and be came and examined the house, and she described to him then very particularly the person of Norman ; the next day, being Uckfield fair, she and Mr. Wheatley went to the fair, and there, among a large crowd of people, she pointed out to Mr.Wheatley, Norman, as the man who had robbed her, and he was imme diately apprehended ; when pressed as to her knowledge of Norman's person, she swore most po sitively- to him, saying—" As sure as God created the world, I am sure Norman is the man." Mr. Wheatley confirmed the evidence of the last witness, so far as it related to himself. The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, found the prisoner guilty, and the Learned Judge, in the most impressive manner, immediately passed upon' him the awful sentence of death, beseeching him to look for mercy to a heavenly Judge, as it was ime possible that any mercy could be extended to him on this side of the grave. The case excited considerable interest. The pri soner, as be was being removed from the dock, so .emuly asserted his innocence; but he heard the sen tence of death unmoved. (From the Exeter Alfred.) DEATII OF MR. CANNING.—The above announce ment, much as we have been accustomed, within the last few years, to lessons on the mutability of all human affairs, comes like an unexpected visits- • Ition of that all-wise Providence " whose ways are past finding out." The space is very brief since we were called upon to perform a melancholy task, in recording the demise of an illustrious branch of the House of Brunswick; .and we have this week to present to our readers the facts of a severe national calamity, in the death 'of that distinguished and ac complished Statesman, Mr. Canning. Little did we think, and little did England contemplate, when the wheel of fate had reached that point which ad vanced him to the pinnacle of honour in a nation's view—to the most elevated station that even his Sovereign could have raised him ; and less, per-', chaps, did he himself consider, through his rapid and unprecedented progress to the exalted sphere he at length attained, the instability of man's glory here —that the shaft of death might quickly fall upon him, and, in the plenitude of earthly splendour, " hurl him from his high estate." But this truth is now verified to us in one of its most impressive forms; 'and we have learnt how evanescent and how fleet ing are the triumphs of this world—that the life of • man is a vapour,.which appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away—that nothing beneath the canopy of heaven is certain but our arrival at " that • bourne from whence no traveller returns." • It might be justly said, that one of the most ; splendid geniusses that ever illumined the human mind was born with Mr. Canning—as a Statesman, Poet, and PhiloSopher, he has not been excelled, if equalled ; and the whole of his public career gives evidence, that he 'possessed endowments of the highest order. By deep political research, he learnt how to fulfil the various important duties which the circumstances of this country have called upon him to perform, with so much credit as, perhaps, ever fell to the lot of any man so placed; and, in the midst of the most powerful opposition that has, at any period, existed in the British Cabinet, he became Premier of England, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and First Lord of his Majesty's Treasury. That his dissolution was hastened by this accumulated weight of office admits not the slightest doubt—the strongest bodily health, with a less sensitive imagi . nation, might have been impaired by the excitement that has attended his latter days. It is not our province, while eulogising the virtues of this de parted Senator, to throw his failings back into the shade, where they may not be seen ; but aware, as we are, that too frequently " the evil which men do • lives after them," and -that " the good is oft interred with their bones," it is our duty to lament him— t and we do so with sincerity. We mourn his being taken from us, as the loss of one whose life has been passed in the service of his country—history w ill tell the errors into which the imperfections of his policy have led him, without our assistance at the present solemn crisis, when every feeling, save those of profound respect and reverential awe, should lie t dormant in our bosom. JARDINE AND WIFE V. BIGGINS, ESQ. This was an action against a Magistrate for false imprisonment. Plea, that sufficient had been ten dered to the plaintiff for the injury sustained. Re plication, taking issue on the sufficiency of the amends tendered. The Jury were of opinion that the amends ten dered were sufficient, under the circumstances, and therefore, under the Learned Judge's direction, they found their verdict for the defendant. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--DURHAM, Ave. IS. BARNES AGAINST HODGSON. This was an action for a libel. The defendant pleaded " not guilty," and a justification as to pare of the libel. Mr. BROUGHAM said, the plaintiff was the house steward and agent of Lord Darlington, and had the; great misfortune to incur the malice of the defendant, now a shopkeeper at Staindrop, but formerly agent Ito the late banking-house of Mowbray and Co. Tin banking-house of Mowbray and Co. failed in July. 1815, and twelve years after that, the defendant without whispering one word of displeasure to the plaintiff, thought fit to invent the foul slander for which the plaintiff sought reparation. The de fendant demanded a sum of 141. 1.55. of the plain tiff, Who was assignee of a Mr. Ruddocks, from whom, it seems, the money was due ; and because the plaintiff refused to pay it out of his own funch —and there was no reason why he should so do— the defendant—trumping up a story which, if true, must have been twelve years old, and which, up to the very time that his threats were unavailing to procure the money from the plaintiff, he had not breathed to any living soul—gave it under his hand that " the plaintiff came to him the day after Mow bray and Co. stopped payment, and asked him to procure as many of Mowbray's notes as he could, for he, the plaintiff, would give 10s. in the pound fot each note, as he had an opportunity of making 11 good thing of it; for, from the recent remit tances he had from Lord Darlington, it would ap pear that he had had the notes in hand." This wai the libel complained of, accusing the plaintiff witl desiring to buy the notes at 10s. in the pound,. in order that he might charge them in his account: with Lord Darlington at 20s. in the pound. A more foul and abominable accusation was neve, made against an honest man. The Jury retired for about an hour, and then fount a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 501. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in his charge to the jury, adverted to some complaints respecting the misap propriation of certain charitable funds for the relie of insolvent debtors, and requested their particular attention to the subject. :..

When we call it serio-comic, we call it so from Mr. Tennant's own ac knowledgment in the preface ; for we must candidly confess, that out of the 224 pages of which it consists, we have only been able to comprehend the first half page, consisting of just three lines, the very first of which delay ed us nearly as long as the most sententious pas sage in Thucydides— " I sing the steir, stra bush, and streefe." Adopting, however, as we said above, the author's own opinion of his poem, we have no hesitation in saying that it is exceedingly serio comic, and still more, that it is worthy of being honoured, like Doctor Percy, of Rochester, with a translation. Upon a closer inspection we find the. book strewed with many sweet flowers of poetry, but their beauty is much dimmed by the antique mist which overhangs the scene.. The title bespeaks at once that religious fervour is the moving spirit of the poem, and the demolition of the strong hold of Papistry is the main object of the enthusiasts. That some of our readers, more versed than ourselves in the social mystery of the " broad dialect of auld tang syne," may fore] r an opinion of the original, we give an extract or two for their enjoyment : i ..... -- . - 0 Muse, that frae Parnassus' crown, Cam in thy multi-spanglet shoon, • ~ , :s..l Lampin' slang in joyeus glee ''k , '7 , Frae jawato jaw athort the sea, • '''- - ' -.

Clarke and Phillips. I The Jury found the prisoner . Guilty, but recom mended him to the merciful consideration of tha Court, on the ground of his youth, and the very good character which he had hitherto borne, as proved by the witnesses called on his behalf. In this recom mendation they were joined by the prosecutor. John Corah, aged 18, was then put to the bar, charged with forging the above , note. Two wit nesses declared it to be all in the prisoner's hand writing. One of them, however, said, he had not seen him write for the last two years, but the other, who was an auctioneer, on being called back by the Jury to describe more particularly from what he had derived his knowledge of the, prisoner's handwriting, stated, that he had forged two bills of exchange upon him (the witness) which he subsequently acknow ledged to be his handwriting. It appeared that the prisoner had occasionally lived with his father, who is a gardener in Leicester, and sometimes with his grandmother, who does not reside within this borough. • The Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty." Lord TENTERDEN, in afterwards addressing the prisoner, said he was not quite satisfied that he had acted rightly in leaving it to the jury to decide whe ther or not, upon the evidence, they were of opinion that the offence had been committed within the bo rough ; and therefore he would forbear pronouncing any judgment upon him until he should take , the opinion of the twelve Judges on that point. But his Lordship warned the prisoner, that eveng the decision of the Judges should be in his favour on the present indictment; he -was still open to .anoilier in dictment of an equally serious nature, under a recent act of Parliament. The prisoner Porter being brought up to receive judgment, His LORDSHIP forcibly pointed out the dreadful consequences to which persons, even of good cha racter and conduct, as seemed to have been the case with this young man down to the present occasion, were exposed from falling into bad company. As Ithe jury and the prosecutor had recommended him to mercy, he (Lord Tenterden) would venture to assure him that that recommendation would have effect with his Majesty to the extent of saving his life, but no farther. Sentence of death was then re corded. John Simmons and William Simmons were indict ed for feloniously assaulting George Baker, on the 24th of February last, aid violently and feloniously stealing and carrying away from a• boat then in the charge of the said George Baker, a piece of velve teen, two pair of breeches, and divers other articles, the goods of Edward Thomson. The prisoners were found guilty of the larceny, and sentenced to be transported for seven years. John Simpson, a married man, and a father, was indicted for assaulting Jane Wittering, a child just turned of 12 years, with intent to violate her person, on the 10th of October last. _ _ The Jury found the defendant guilty; and the Court sentenced him to six months' additional im prisonment and hard labour, and to be once pri vately whipped. This was the last of the cases in the borough calendar. THE EARL OF HARBOROUGH V. WARTNABY AND OTHERS. The question , i n this case, which was a remanet from the last Assizes, was, whether the manor of Great Bowden, in this county, was'held in ancient demesne or in . frank-fee. A great quantity of evi dence, both documentary and parole, was adduced on the part of the plaintiff to prove that the lands in question were held in ancient demesne, and were therefore under the jurisdiction of the Lord's Manor Court. But the defendants produced the copy g a fine levied of these lands in the King's Court, in the reign of Charles 1., whereby the lands came to be holden in frank-fee, and all pleas respecting them were thenceforth pleaded in the King's Courts of Law, and not in the Manor Coint. On the pro duction of this document the plaintiff was nonsuited, EXTRACTS FROM COUNTRY PAPERS. OXFORD CIRCUIT-SHREWSBURY, AUG. 14. SIONLIS V. DAWES AND HARM= HIS wins. This was an issue, directed by the Lord Chan cellor, to try whether the plaintiff, Mr. Evan Morris, was the legitimate son of Mr. William Morris and Mary his wife. Mr. Sergeant RUSSELL (with whom was Mr. Ctmwoon) said that this question was submitted a second time to a Jury. It would appear that in 1778 Mr. Morris, at the age of 30, married Mrs. Morris, then 16, and they had a daughter, who had married Mr. Davies, one of the defendants ; but, in ,1788, it was found that a separation would conduce to the happiness of the parties. At this time they had lived together ten years, and, on the separation caking place, it was arranged that Mrs. Morris iwould go to reside at Llanfair, and Mr. Morris, who lad before resided at Shrewsbury, went to live at Argoed, which was a village about 14 miles from Glanfair. It would be proved that after the separa tion there was continued kindness between thepartieti, ind that Mr. Morris waS continually at the house of nis wife. The plaintiff was born on the sth of Jan. 1793; and he should prove that Mr. Morris conti, tually visited his wife for several years before the birth of the plaintiff, and particularly in 1792. It would be shown that communications the most Frequent took place between Mr. and Mrs. Morris ; and it would appear, that about Lady-day in 1792, Vlr. Morris called at the house of his wife; that they met in the passage, when they embraced and shed -ears, and after that they went into the parlour, where they remained several hours; and at the eon_ elusion of this interview they went together to the louse of Mrs. Lloyd, at Gwrddllwydd, where there was most satisfactory evidence that they passed the night together. And this was not the only evidence, chat a i in y l7 w 9 i 2 t n Mr. e s s e wouldsmorris wasbe c a c 1 0 l n e d, t in who w u al ly at eul d prove the house if his wife; and indeed the proof on this part of the 7. .ase was so clear, that but for the subsequent con luct of Mrs. Morris there never could have been a iuestion raised on the legitimacy of the plaintiff. Mrs. Morris was a woman of violent spirit, who, as t would appear, indulged her passions towards the Alter sex; and he would admit that she had taken is a sort of favourite a man named William Austin, .vho at first was a mere servant of Mr. Morris, but tfter that it was clear that at a later period there was in illicit intercourse between him and Mrs. Morris. At the close of 1792, Mrs. Morris first 'conceived he design of concealing the birth of the plaintiff; ind as soon as he was born it would be shown that i ;r d ou is g t h an t to was conveyed in the night to a place called Wem, e u e p o d f n t d h e ir r ty the m n i a le m s, e o an f d Au th st a i t n, be snbnand. if the father of the paramour of Mrs. M. • . , and it - lone by Mrs. M., or under her .directiond•vulged the facte pro bably occurred to her, that if she d i vulged be i her 1 a t Tthih w es a s wh t ao h sl e i as r le e l to cause dug_ her having a child,the effect wou ld l a te n en o d tio n n ot n o o f t h e u r n i c i u o band to wish her to with Au s tin , ' as s law and d o f Juries Et i England l a:ld d ryas, 10 n On illicit • with females who had an intercourse with capricious o f the cou country. persons other than their . husbands, that the child making a breach betwyen her and Austin and he knew of her illicit iranetebrcaockurstoe hishouse , and was th e child o woman, By the e up o o ld n I c a : But, however Mrs. Morris might intend to bas tardise her issue, still the law of England would not allow her u h l e e r s, t u o p d o o n s N o v . me A ti s ju t d h g e e that a person's legitimacy should not depend upon might proba blyf hhaervefavhoattlir' the iet e c d o f n o d r u t e h t e ofgo good if a child was born, it was held to be the legitimate ?ion of the husband, if the husband was at any place within the kingdom, inter quatu maria, as it was termed; however, that rule, became afterwards ex ploded; but still the undoubted rule of law now re mained, that unless it was shown to be impossible that the husband could be the father, of the child, it
