But ex perince has convinced me that, for want of such a method, the Italian Language, generally but little known to Foreigners, is still less so to the Nation the most worthy of being acquainted with it. D evote d by taste and by Profession to the Teaching 9 1 el Native Tongue, I venture to offer the only Method that, my opinion, can l ead to a perfect acquaintance with the Italian L anguage, enable Students to Write and Speak it in sll its purity, and thoroughly to understand the Works most difficult even to Italians themselves. The method that I pro- W 3 ae, of which the excellence is acknowledged by the Learned of all Europe, and which the Institute of France, and the Academy of Florence have sanctioned, is that of the celebrated Viro tessor Biagioli, w hi c h I have successfully adopted during l itt years at Paris.

( Sittings after Michaelmas Term before the Lord Chief Justice and a Common Jury. ) SLANDER.-LAMB V. BROUGHTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a sales man in Smithfield Market, to reco►er from the defendant, who is a farmer in Norfolk, compensation in damages for an injury done to his character, in consequence of certain slanderous words spoken by the defendant. From the evidence for the plaintiff it appeared that, on the Bth of February lost, the defendant's drover delivered to the plaintiff nine beasts, which he on the next day exposed for sale in Smithfield-market. In the course of the day the plaintiff, having met the defendant in the market, told him that he had sold six of his beasts, two to a person named Miller for 511., two to Jenner for 501., and two to another person for 46/. ; but in point of fact he had only sold five, of which one was sold to Jenner for 251. The plaintiff discovered the mistake in the course of the day, but he did not think it necessary to mention it to the defendant, as the defendant had seen four of his beasts leave the market unsold. On the Monday following the plaintiff sold the other four, and he tendered the defendant an account of the proceeds, together with a checque for the amount. The defendant being dissatisfied with the account rendered to him, met the plaintiff on the 23d of February, and asked him why he had not given credit for the proceeds of six beasts sold on the first day. The plaintiff men tioned the mistake which he had made, and referred the defend ant to the different persons who had purchased the beasts. The defendant was dissatisfied with the explanation given by the plaintiff; and he then said he had been robbed and cheated, and that he should arrest the plaintiff immediately. On the 15th of April following the defendant met the plaint►flat a cattle fair at Norwich, and said to him, in the presence of several per sons, " When do you mean to pay me the money you owe me ?" The plaintiff replied, " What money ?" Upon which the de fendant said, " You are a thief, you are a rogue, and the money which I ought to have had you have put into your pocket." Upon the cross-examination of one of the plaintiff's wit nesses, it appeared that after the slanderous words were spoken by the defendant, the plaintifi' asked him if he would be satis fied if he (plaintiff) would make an affidavit about the sale of the beasts, and the defendant replied that he would. Mr. SCARLET,' addressed the Jury for the defendant. The Learned Counsel contended that the plaintiff was not entitled to a verdict, inasmuch as the offer of the defendant to be satis fied with the plaintiff's affidavit respecting the sale of the beasts clearly shewed that the defendant's intent►on was not to impute fraud or felony to the plaintiff. The words were spoken by the defendant at a time when he conceived that a sum of money which he ought to have in his pocket was in the pocket of the plaintiff; but admitting that the words bore the meaning at tributed to them in the declaration, the smallest damages would be sufficient, because the plaintiff had not proved that lie had sustained the slightest injury. His LosinsHir summed up, and the Jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Si. costs 40s. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. IMPORTANT RULE FOR THE OBSERVANCE OF AT TORNIES. The CHIEF CO MMISSIONEU observed, that the Court had frequent cause to complain of the defective manner in which the schedules were framed. When the party employed by the insolvent was appealed to for explanation, the principal was seldom in Court; or if they were, the answer was, that this or that clerk read and settled the schedule. It appeared that some persons contented themselves with being on the Rolls of the Court, and left the entire management of the business to their clerks ; and hence arose those blunders and omissions which were alike injurious to the insolvent and disreputable to the Profession. The Court had from time to time adopted cer tain regulations which however appeared to be inefficient. Hence the Court felt itself called upon to publish the following Rule, which he (the Chief Commissioner) was sorry to say would impose some additional trouble upon those Attorneys who had as well as those who had not attended to their duty with regularity and punctuality. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER then read the following Rule : " Whereas by the rules and orders of this Court, it is among other things ordered, that every schedule and balance sheet shall be attested by the attorney ; and that the schedule shall be signed by the prisoner on every side of every sheet thereof, and attested by his attorney, such signature and attestation to be verified by affidavit of the attorney, to be filed with the schedule : It is further ordered, that from and after the Ist day of February next, every schedule and balance sheet, and all amendments thereto, be not only so signed and attested by the attorney, but also read over to the prisoner before his signing the same, or by or in the presence of his attorney ; such reading over of the same to be verified by the affidavit of such attorney, to be prepared, swore, and filed with the schedule according to the rule of Court of 26th of January,•lB22. " By the COURT." THE ENGLISH AT BRUSSELS Dec. 24, 1824.—A very extraordi nary and rather mysterious circumstance has occurred here lately, and as I see that it has not as yet found its way into the English Papers, I will endeavour to give you the particulars as briefly as possible, abstaining for the present from all comment upon the subject. On the night, or rather early in the morning, of the 12th inst. last, an English gentleman of respectable fa mily and connections, and who has long been a resident in this city, was taken out of his bed by three officers of justice, hurried down stairs with time scarcely to dress himself, dragged along the streets sans ceremonie, and plunged into the common prison amongst the commonest cri minals, by order of the Procureur du Rul. When the affair became known it naturally excited the utmost anxiety on the part of the gentleman's friends, who vied with each other in hastening to the place of his confinement, in order to in quire into the cause of his detention, and, if possible, to procure his liberation, by offering bail or such other security as might be deemed requisite. Upon arriving at the prison door, however, they were refused admittance ; and one gentle man in particular, who interested himself very much in his friend's behalf, was referred to the Procureur du Rai, by whom he was informed that the prisoner was detained upon a matter of police, and that nobody could be admitted to see him upon that day, which was Sunday, but that upon the following morning a general order for the admission of his friends should be issued. With this answer the'gentle man's friends departed, and upon arriving at the prison the fol lowing morning, it was discovered that considerable relaxation had taken place in the manner of his treatment, as he was no longer confined with the common criminals, but was allowed a separate room with some necessary articles of furniture, toge ther with permission to correspond with his wife, who, to add to the interest of the scene, was very ill in bed, and, It is said, rendered worse by the situation of her husband.—ln the mean time some others of the prisoner's friends went to lay their complaint before the British Ambassador, Sir CHARLES BAGOT, who immediately ordered his carriage, and proceeded to the house of the Minister of Justice to demand an explana tion of the cause of this singular arrest of a British subject. What passed between those gentlemen cannot of course, as yet, be known. On the return of his Excellency, however, lie assured the prisoner's friends and the British residents in general, that he would exert every prerogative in his power to have jus tice done to their countryman, if it should be made ap pear that the arrest was illegal. Early on the following morn ing, the prisoner was admitted to an interview with his friends, and subsequently conducted by a guard to the Hall of Audi ence, where lie underwent an examination before a single Judge, and was recondi.icted to prison, from which place he was discharged on the . t?llowing morning, to the great surprise of every body, no specific charge having been brought against him, and the Procureur du Roi declining either to prosecute the charge against him, or to inform him of the cause of his arrest.—(ltforniag Paper.)

EDTTOR—Evety person who has crossed the Channel, for the purpose of inquiring into the manners, customs, practices, &c. of the French people, are compelled in candour to admit that some things are even at thiS day still managed bet ter in France. As every country has, of necessity, produced good and able men, so there must be something praiseworthy in the institutions of every country and people. To notice these in teresting advantages should be the principal object of the philanthropic traveller ; and when he has noticed them, his patriotism should induce him to publish them for the benefit of his own countrymen. If pursued with this laudable in tention, travels are rendered not only delightful to the individual %%Ito undertakes them, but be neficial to mankind. As our kitchen and our flower garden are enriched and embellished by the introduction of exotic productions, so may national habits and customs be materially bene fitted and improved by the adoption of those fo reign practices which sound sense probe to be advantageous in their effects. The easy access which all men who are fond of travelling have had into France, has, as it ne cessarily must, tended to remove many ancient and deeply rooted prejudices. If the traveller have found much to reprehend, he has also seen much that he was compelled to admire. The busy interference of the Police may have at first shocked the Englishman accustomed to roam un molested through his native country ; but while his first impressions were of necessity, productive of feelings hostile to their establishment, he must, upon further consideration, have become greatly reconciled to it, w hen he discovered that it tended materially to the preservation of order and decorum, to the security of his person and property, and that if it sometimes interfered with the proceedings of individuals, it was only when such proceedings tended to the annoyance of the public. I n many respects, the regulations of this police, in all that regards health and security, are truly commendable. No dogs are permitted to go about unmuzzled during the in tense heat of 3 ununer ; no steam engine can be set up in the vicinity of any buildings ; no sub stance likely to generate mephitic vapours must be thrown into the common sewers; no person is allowed to bathe in the Seine, except in places. not exposed to public view, or in those truly ex cellent establishments, the Ecoles de Natation.— In these schools, if any accident happens through the least negligence, the proprietor is immediate ly prosecuted by the Government, and if proved guilty, punished with considerable severity. It must not be imagined that these are the only instances in which infractions of the laws are pro secuted at the sole ex pence of the Government. This is the case in all criminal prosecutions.— The prosecutor need not, as in England, incur a heavy expellee to punish the man who has robbed him of his property. Indeed, except when his presence is required to identify the criminal or the property, he need not appear in the Court of Justice. In short, it is the Government, and not himself, that acts as prosecutor This is surely highly praise -worthy, and well worthy of imitation. In regard to health, the precautions taken are not less admirable. In France, the constitutio►: and the life of the credulous are not left at the mercy of greedy quacks, who live by killing their fellow-subjects. Before any one is permit ted to vend any medicine he asserts that lie has discovered, he is obliged to deliver a receipt of the ingredients employed in composi►►g it, and it is not until the good effects of a portion made by a Committee appointed for the purpose, and tried by them in the hospitals, have been fully ascer tained, that the inventor is permitted to offer it to the patro►►age of tl►e public. Knowing a people who make pleasure one of the most important objects of life, there must necessarily be an imme►►se number of places of public amusement. And surely in no country are they more numerous or better attended. Every description of places such as these, opera housei, play houses, gardens, shows, &c. &c., iu addition to the price paid for entrance, the visitor pays a sum which, though small in itself, yet rises to a considerable amount when raised over the surface of the whole kingdom, which sum is destined for the maintenance of the poor, or of some public charitable institution. By this method, there is no need of poor's rates, and every man, while he lays out I►is money to promote. his own pleasure and gratification, has the satis faction to reflect that he contributes his mite towards relieving the necessities of his less for tunate fellow-creatures. The internal regulation of all the play-houses is also deserving of approbation. In these, your attention to the performance is never interrupted by the noisy enterance of tl►e first and second Companies; nor are you every moment annoyed by the loud•openi►►g and shutting of doors. Or der, decorum, and tranquillity prevail through out the whole of the theatre; and neither the ear, nor the eye of a female, meet aught that cat' put her modesty to the blush. A. P.
