wgll LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. THE LATE HENRY FAUNTLEROY. EX-PARTE STONF, IN THE MATTER OF MARSH, STRACEY AND CO., RANKRIJFTS, Mr. MoNTAGt; stated, when this petition, which respected the dealings of the late Henry Fauntleroy with certain stock, was applied for by Mr. Horne to be advanced for hearing, in consequence of something he (Mr.M.).had said, the Court refused to allow. it to come on earlier than it would in regular course, but he had now to submit, that as it regarded, a new trial, and as it was essential that Mr. Pollock should be present at the arguments, who was going out of town on - Friday, it was very desirable that the petition should be heard in a few days. His LORDSHIP directed it to stand for Thursday. DOWDIE V. BAOLIE, A WARD. Mr. WIIITMARSH presented apetition which prayed that the Court would direct a reference to the Mes sier in this case, to enquire whether the proposal of marriage that had been made to the ward, was an eligible proposal ; and if so, further to ascertain what the property of the parties was, and what would be a proper settlement. The mother and two guardians of the ward agreed to the prayer of the petition. Reference made to the Master. IN THE MATTER OF LORD PORTSMOUTH, A LUNATIC. Mr. HEALD stated that this was a petition which prayed the Court to confirm the Mast er ' s report , which had approved of the renewal of a lease. Mr. SKIRROW appeared for Lord Grantley, one of the trustees, and opposed the hearing of the pe tition to-dav, on the ground of not having had time to be prepared to meet it. Notice of its having been advanced to come on to-day had only been served on Mr. Skirrow's client yesterday. Mr. Heald, on Thursday, when he applied to have the bearing of the petition advanced, stated as a ground of urgency that the opportunity of renewing the lease depended on a single age, and that that age was 95, whereas the fact was that the age was only forty-three. His LORDSHIP understood it to be agreed that the lease ought to he renewed, and he wished to know what there was in dispute. Mr. SKIRROW stated the dispute was respecting the fund out of which the fine was to come. It was proposed that the fine should be paid out of the funds resulting into the hands of the trustees (of whom Lord Grantley was one) from certain estates that were settled to answer certain purposes on Lord Portsmouth's first marriage in 1799. His LORDSHIP felt bound, which he was sorry for, to extend the time of hearing the petition till Mon day morning, in consequence of the short notice that had been given to Lord Grantley. The Court took the Appeal Paper. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Nothing of interest occurred in this Court np to the time of our going to Press. At the rising of the Court, the adjournment day will be fixed for the 9th of October. The Middlesex Sittings are adjourned to the first day of the same month, a time of adjournment earlier than, perhaps, was ever known in this Court, in which it has been seldom the practice to meet, after the long vacation, until the beginning of November.' The immense number of causes entered, and the little progress already made in them,, renders this course absolutely necessary. CONSISTORY COURT. ROSE V. ROSE. This case, which was fully argued during the term, was this day called on for sentence. Sir C. ROBINSON said, that the only question which arose in this case, was a question arising open the credibility of the witnesses. The history of the Case was, that the parties were married in 1811, and lived together very unhappily, so much so, that in 1821 a separation was talked of, but this idea was selinquished, seemingly at the suggestion of the hus band, who appeared to think that it would be more respectable for the parties to live together. I . t was stated that the husband, during the cohabitation with his wife, had occasionally treated her with rudeness and violence, but his general conduct seemed to be that of a kind and affectionate hus band. With regard to the bias which was said to have existed in the minds of some of the witnesses, the Court certainly saw some evidence of it, and would not have been disposed to pronounce for the divorce, if the charge of adultery rested entirely on the evidence of those witnesses. But as far as those witnestes spoke of the general habits of Mrs-Rose, they were supported by the testimony of other wit nesses, whose evidence was unimpeached. It ap peared from the evidence of all the witnesses, that from June, 1824, until the final separation of the parties in 1825, Mrs. Rose was in the con stant habit of leaving her husband's house soon after his departure in the morning, and of remaining abroad until a late hour in the day, when she re turned with her dress in a state that gave every reason to suppose that she had been walking in the fields and on the roads. She was also observed to have been constantly in the company of a Mr. Blake more, so that there were strong presumptions in support of the charge that an act of adultery had been committed in Hornsev church -yard. That such an occurrence had taken place was not denied, and the only question raised on this part of the case related to the ide n tity o f t h e part i es. I n p ro of of this it was stated by the two witnesses, that they had listened to a conversation which took place between Mrs. Rose and Mr. Blakemore, and that they ascertained during this conversation, that the lady was .a married woman, and her name Rose; and that the gentleman was a medical man residing at Finchley. They also stated that they had followed Mrs. Rose and Mr. Blakemore to a public-house on the evening in question, where they had a full op portunity of making ththselves acquainted with the personal identity of the parties. It was also im portant for the Court to remember, that there was no attempt to prove an alibi, which might have been done; and that the objection to the evidence on this part of the case rested on mere insinuation. The Court was therefore bound to conclude that the act of adultery pleaded to have been committed in Hornsey Church-yard, was satisfactorily proved. The imputation sought to be cast upon the husband of conniving at the intimacy, between his wife and Mr. Blakemore did not appeat to have the slightest foundation; for it did not appear that Mr. Blake more ever visited Mrs. Rose at her own house, or that her husband was acquainted with their intimacy, until a short time before the final separation of the parties. Th e C ourt t h ere f ore cou ld not fi n d any evidence of such misconduct on the part of the husband as oug h t to debar him from redress for the injury he had sustained, and the case being fully proved, it only remain e d f or t h e Court to pronounce for the divorce. The sentence was then recorded, with the usual formalities, and the Court adjourned. T H E THAMES TUNNF, r ,.

But little wate r now remains in th e tunnel, and it is expected that ne xt week tia comm ence work at the extremity of the tu nne l. n" will TILE LATE ESCAPE FROM NEWGATE. Notwithstanding the greatest activity has been manifest e d, the city officers have n ot y et been able to discover the re treat of the sixth prisoner who escaped from Newgat e on Thursday. The fifth, who was retaken yesterday, did not use common Prudence in keeping himself secreted, as he was seen early yesterday walking the streets with two pros titutes. His retreat was soon discovered therefore. It appears after an inspection of the room hi which the pri soners were before their escape, that the instrument u se d in picking out the brickwork was one of the spikes which was fixed in the room to hang up mats. The other pri soners must have been aware of what was going forward, as some time was taken up in making a role sufficiently large to allow a man to pass through. The form which the prisoners tore up was, after the spike was introduced into it, to act as a wedge employed in passing from one window to another. This was a dangerous feat. It is more than probable that all the prisoners in the room would have escaped, had those who got out first used more cantio.

COACH ACCIDENT.—It is perhaps gene rally known that great exertions have latterly been made by the Western Coach Proprietors to expedite the inter course between London and Exeter and Plymouth. Two coaches have recently been established, the one named the Celerity, and the other the Defiance, earlt of which pr o f ess to accomplish the journey from London to Exeter, a dis- . tance of upwards of 170 miles, in the spare of 20 hours; and from Exeter to Plymouth, a distance of 45 miles in six hours. On Tuesday morning, about six o'clock, the Celerity left Plymouth, and proceeded on its journey with safety to about three miles beyond Amesbury, where it met the Defiance coming from London, at which time it was rather foggy, but not so much so as to prevent the driver of either coach from seeing the other approaching. The road was of sufficient breadth to allow three coaches easily to pass, but unfortunately, owing, as it is supposed, to soms mismanagement on the part of the coachmen, the coaches, which were going at a great rate, came in contact, and by the violence of the concussion both were instantly upset. No sooner was the Celerity on its side, than the horses by a violent spring, snapped the pole of the carriage short off at the splinter bar, broke their traces, and dashed off with the utmost speed towards Andover; one of them, however, having broken its thigh, soon dropped on die road. On the outside of the Celerity, in addition to a great quantity of luggage, there were nine passengers, two of whom were females. A gentleman who was seated on the box by the side of the driver, falling under the coach was crushed to death on the spot. Another gentleman had some of his ribs broken, and is supposed to have received other very severe internal injury. Of the two females, one sustained a violent concussion of the brain, and the other was so se verely injured in the small of her back, as entirely to de prive her of the use of the lower extremities. There was scarcely one of the remaining outside passengers who was not more or less b ru i se d b y t h e upsett i ng o f t h e coac h . Th e Inside passengers, c ons i st i ng o f two l a di es an d two gentle men, experienced, comparatively speaking, little or no in jury. With respect to the Defiance coach, we have not yet been able to ascertain any particulars • we conclude, how ever, from their being a bl e quickly to leave leave the spot ' and ,proceed on their journey, that th ey could not have sustained muchinjury. This serious accident h attributed in part to the quantity of luggage heaped on the roof, and in part to the unwillingness of the drkkrs to give way to each aims FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS. WINDSOR, JULY 20.—Yesterday, his Royal Highness Prince LEOPOLD arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had an audience of his MAJESTY ; after which his Royal Highness partook of some refreshment, and left the Royal Lodge for his residence in town. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived, yester day, at the Royal Lodge, and Ind a long audience of his MAJESTY; after which his Grace took leave, and left for his residence in town. Yesterday, owing to the bad state of the wea ther, his MAJESTY did not leave the Royal Lodge. The following Personages arrived by invitation ;-The Marquis of HASTINGS, Lord and Lady MARYBOROUGH, Miss BAGOTp %ir. and Mrs. FREMANTLE and Miss ARDEE ; the whole of whom had the honour of dining and passing the evening with his MAJESTY. The King's private band was in at tendance, and played during the evening. Had the wea ther proved favourable, the KING'S intention was to have dined at Virginia Water. His MAJESTY has not, for a length of time back, enjoyed a better state of health than lie does at pre sent. He walks perfectly upright and well ;he rises early, and breakfasts between nine and ten o'clock ; he is in general occupied the whole of every forenoon with public despatches, as messengers continue to arrive and depart al most daily to and from the different public Departments. Prince LEOPOLD, attended by Sir ROBERT GARDNER, left his residence, Marlborongh-house, about ten o'clock on Thursday mornin g , for the Royal Lodge i❑ Windsor Park, on a visit to the KING.- His Royal Highness returned to Marlborough•honse in the evening. The Duchess of KENT, accompanied by the Prince of LEINI NG Fig and Princess FEODOR,E, honoured the Haymarket Theatre with her presence on Thursdayevening. Mr. CANNING, accompanied by Mrs. CAN NING, left his residence in Downing-street, about a quarter before four o'clock yesterday afternoon, in his chariot and pair, for the seat of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, at Chiswick. The Right Hon. Gentleman is expected to remain at Chiswick-house for a \month or six weeks. The Duke of PORTLAND had an interview with Mr. CANNINGI previous to his departure. _ Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. Sir R. FARQU'HAR, one of the Directors of the East India Company, transacted bnsines at the Co lonial Office, yesterday. Prince Lt E F, N entertained a distinguished party to dinner yesterday at Ashburnham House, Dover street. Mrs. CHARLTON had a musical party yester day evening at her house in Baker-street, which was very fashiOnahly attended. AFFAIR IN HIGH LIFE.—A circumstance has lately occurred in high life that has excited the curiosity of the fashionable world. The Lady of «a Baronet, well known in the West Riding of Yorkshire, has lately been discovered in a situation that bids fair to furnish scope for the exercise of the ingenuity of the members of the long robe. It would be premature to enter further into the liaison alluded to, as future circumstances will more fully develope its origin and termination. The gay Lothario is a Captain in the Third Guards. DEATH OF THE EARL OF MORTON.—We regret to learn that the Earl of MoaTox died on Tuesday at Dalmahoy. His Lordship was in the 66th year of his age. His Lordship having no issue, is succeeded by his cousin, GEORGE SHOLTO DOUGLAS.— Caledonian Mercury. DIED.—On the 11 th instant, at St. Mary's elyst Rectory, Devon, aged 17, WILLIAM Tholttr, third son of the Rev. THomAs STRONG. HIS MAJESTY'S PLATE AT CLAREMONT. —We understand that the Royal Plate was removed from Claremont, by order of his MAJESTY, a short time before the return of Prince Lroror,o. A considerable portion of it which had found its way to Marlborongh House was, on the receipt of the Royal order, hastily transferred to Claremont, and the whole, shortly afterwards, conveyed to Town in Messrs.- RUNDELI, and BRIDGES,' van. MONUMENT TO KING GEORGE 111.-A meeting of the subscribers to the fund for erecting a monu ment, in memory of his late Majesty King GEORGE the THIRD, was called by public advertisement, to be held yes terday, at the Great Room, of the Piazza Coffee House, Covent-garden. The hour fixed for taking the chair was one o'clock; but only one solitary subscriber (Mr. BRIDG NORTH, of Wigmore-street) attended. The Committee, we understood, were in another room, ready to present them selves to the subscribers, and two of them did appear, from one of whom we learned that the object of the proposed meeting was, that the subscribers should determine upon the application of the sum now in hand (2,5001.) and so obtain their sanction, for the payment, by the sub-commit tee, of certain debts incidentally incurred. It is almost needless to say that no proceedings took place. One evening, at the Literary Fund Club, Mr. IxeurnoN having sung, with great effect, Mr. T. DIBDIN'C ballad of " May we ne'er want a friend, or a bottle to give him," an elderly gentleman whispered in Mr. T. DIBDIN'S ear, " Ah ! my dear Sir, these are the true things of the old school ; what a pity it is no one living is found to write such ditties now !" An Irish Dignitary of the Church (not re markable for veracity) complaining that a tradesman of his parish .had called him a liar, Maciu,sx asked bins what reply he made him. "1 told him," says he, " that a lie was amongst the things I dared not commit."—" And why, Doctor," replied Mao/ant, " did you give the rascal so mean an opinion of your courage ?" One of the band of Covent-garden, who played the French horn, was telling same anecdote of GAR.. RICK'S generosity. Maclutic, who heard him at the lower end of the table, and who always fired at the praises of GARRICK, called out, " Sir, I believe you are a trumpeter." —" Well, Sir," said the poor man, quite confounded, " and if I am, what then ?"—" Nothing more, Sir, than being a trumpeter, you are a dealer in puffs by profession."

Lionel 'Machin, a young English gen tleman in the reign of Edward the Third, of handsome person and engaging manners, bzcame deeply enamoured of Arabella D'Arcv, a lady of noble family and incompar able beauty. Being rejected by her friends, who betrothed her to another, he prevailed upon the lady to elope with him ; and putting her on hoard a small ship at Bristol, sailed away for the Continent. They bad, however, scarcely lost sight of land, before a tempest arose, and drove them far out into the Atlantic. For Litany days they beat about in the ocean, and felt all the agonies which the pro spect of starving at sea could inflict ; but were at length driven by the winds on an unknown island. This island was Madeira. They landed, and roamed about delighted among its wild ravines and sunny slopes ; but the fatigues and hardships they underwent were too much for Arabella —she withered away and died in the arms of her lover. Machin soon followed her. Their remains were interred on a woody little eminence overlooking the sea ; and to this day the Portuguese point out the spot where there ashes repose; and the town Machico traces its name to that of the unfortuoate lover.,Ed.

Should the present fine weather continue for ten days longer, the operations of the wheat harvest may be expected to commence in this neighbourhood. The pros pect of a heavier burden, perhaps never before was pre sented.—Dorset Chronicle. The hay harvest is complete in this neigh bourhood. The crops are large and universally well got up. —Wheats are. going on well, but for the other kinds of grain rain is much wanted.—Nottingham Paper. The corn harvest commenced on Tuesday, in the neighbourhood of Loughborough, by the cutting of a field of oats at Windmill-lane corner. The appearance of the wheat crop is more promising than it has been of many years ; every thing about it has a sound healthy look, and indicates a good quality of grain. It is hoped the poor man will find the truth of the old adage happily realized " A dry summer never made a dear peek."—Leicester Paper. We have had one or two showers during the week, but, should fine weather follow, they will prove of service rather than injury to the crops, which are extremely line, and likely to prove abundant in this neighbourhood. A gentleman who travelled through a part of South Wales about a fortnight ago, informs us, that the hay had then been mostly got in, and that the wheat and other crops were equally as promising as in the most abundant harvest. —Bath Herald A quantity of new barley of fair quality, was cut at Warmsworth, near this place, on Saturday last. The few warm days we have had, has made considerable altera tion in the appearance of corn in dry situations.—Dan caster Gazette. JUVENILE DELINQUENT.-Our readers will poss ibly remark, that amongst the felons sentenced to trans portation for life at the Preston Sessions, there is a boy only seven years of age. This unusual circumstance will be the best explained by a succinct history of the child's short but extraordinary career. His name is Taylor, and he is the son of a small fanner in the neighbourhood of this town. 'rhe boy had scarcely attained his fourth year when he evinced a propensity to steal, by convert ing to his own use the money he was in the habit of receiving front his father's customers for milk, which he (the boy) was employed to bring to town every morning. On this being discovered, the urchin was sent to school, but on more than one occasion he pocketed the school-money sent by him to he toaster; and finally, he was dismissed from the school in consequence of purloining a case of mathematical instru ments. He was next dispatched to Manchester, where it vas intended lie should he hound apprentice, but there be employed himself in picking pockets, and the father was obliged to make up the loss to the plundered individuals. Soon after this the young rogue sold his clothes and re turned to Blackburn, where he remained several days be fore his father knew be had kit Manchester. The next feat was an attempt at :shop robbery, he having been found con cea l e d un d er t h e cou nter of Mrs. Boaran's shop, in Church-street, just as the premises were about to be rinsed for the night. The crime for which he received sentence at the Sessions, was perpetrated about a mouth ago, in this town, where, in open day, he dexterously picked a man's pocket of a tobacco-pouch, ink-horn, and nice-pence in money. Ile was taken into custody, but the magistrate before whom he was sent, hesitated to commit so youthful an offender, and suggested parental correction as the best remedy. The fa ther, however, positively said he could do no mor e with him, and preferred that the law should take its coursa, as the only alternative. He was accordingly committed, but his tricks were not at an end for all that. Mr. Kay, conritassionating the boy's youth, would not confute hint in the lock-up, hut recommended him to the care of an as sistant, who took him home to his own residence for the night. The young thief was stripped and put to bed. In the morning, the assistant, who had slept in another room, missed two shillings from his pockets ; and sure enough, on searching, the stolen money was found in the lining of the boy's cap. In order that he might not grow worse by herding with old offenders, the little rogue was quartered in the hospital of the House of Correction at Preston, and slept in an apartment with three invalid prisoners. In the course of the night, whilst two of them lay awake, but ap parently asleep, they observed the boy get up and steal over to the clothes of the third, and pick the pockets of the only penny they contained, and that penny was found in the thief's stocking on the succeeding day. And the subject of this lamentable statement has just passed his seventh year. ..-BlacAtaan CAPTAIN FRANKLIN. In the last Literary Gazette we had the satisfac tion of connecting together the interesting accounts of Captain Franklin's and Captain Beechey's pro ceedings within the arctic circle ; and at the same time we promised our readers some further details of the voyage performed by the latter intelligent and enterprising officer. Of this pledge we now hasten to acquit ourselves, without preface, as we cannot but reckon every circumstance connected with the subject to be of sufficient public importance to recommend itself to attention. From Woahoo the Blossom sailed on the 31st of May, 1826, and made an excellent voyage of thirty seven days to Awatoka Bay, in Kamschatka. The sudden transition from the parched-up hills of the Sandwich- Islands to the snow-capped mountains of their new quarters, with a depression of fifty degrees of the thermometer, was very sensibly felt by our countrymen. Still, however, the scene was exhili rating beyond the natural concomitant of a keen, bracing atmosphere ; and the more so, as it encou raged a hope that it world speedily stop the effects of an insidious disease of the stomach, which had onfortunately carried off several of the crew, and still hung over their commander, as well as other officers and seamen. Here, it is curious enough to remark, letters and packets from England were re ceived, one of which had travelled overland through Russia, and another had been brought from South America by Baron Wrangle ! From this point, on .July 4, as stated in our last, the Blossom proceeded to Kotzebue Sound, Beh ring's Straits, where our voyagers remained till the frost. set in, having previously been left, though not. finite alone, by all animated nature. The birds, in deed, had all migrated, and the caverns and cliffs, which were Wont on a fine sunny day to reverberate with the chorus and cries of the feathery tribes, were now mute; but still the baying of the seals, as they scaled their slippery resting-places, nightly broke the silence of the scene, and reminded the solitary ship that there were other living things on the lonely shore besides its hardy and gallant navigators. The preceding parts of the voyage, as we see by another private letter (dated November, 1826, Port Francisco), from a youthful mariner, to whom the whole was new and strange, were not devoid of interest. " We left Valparaiso," says onr correspondent, " on the 29th of October, 1825, and ran down the trade wind till we made Easter Island, where we met with so uncivil a reception from the natives, that broken heads were the consequence. Luckily none of the wounds of either Officers or men were fatal. The cause assigned for the attack was, the shameful manner in which the islanders had been treated by an American South Sea trader, which attempted to carry off several of them to another island. They escaped, it seems, by jumping overboard, but some were drowned. Owing to the hostile spirit thus engendered we saw very little of Easter Island. In the passage to Pitcairn's Island, we surveyed two low coral rocks, covered with stunted trees, where the surf beat with too great violence to admit of• our landing. Here we lost one poor fellow from in flammation' of the stomach, On Pitcairn's Island only one of the much-talked of mutineers of the Bounty now remains. Christian was cruelly mur dered by a black man of the party, brought with their wives from Taheite. On approaching, we were hailed by a whale-boat, with what ship, a-boy ?' and soon after a respectable and reverend-looking personage, the patriarch of the place, John Miami, stepped up the side, and cordially saluted us all. The same was done by his followers, the offspring of him self and his companions, whom he has trained up in habits of exemplary order, morality, and virtue: From this time to our quitting the island our em ployment was very agreeable in visiting them a-shore, and walking over the high cliffs, which are beautifully wooded with a great variety of trees, the most conspicuous of which are the cocoa-nut, cloth tree, &c. After our day's fatigues we were excel lently regaled with roasted pigs, and the finest yams in the world. The whole number of inhabitants does not exceed sixty or thereabouts ; but the popu lation is increasing so rapidly, that Adams confessed he felt considerable alarm lest. the produce should be come insufficient for their support*. From morning to night they were almost constantly at prayers, and appeared surprised that we were not the same. We left them in December, leaving a good stock of pre sents ; and, on our course to Taheite, carefully, exa mined and laid down the low coral islands, which run all the way to the westward. These are all of the same form, and covered, as I have noticed, with stunted trees. Gambier's excited most of our atten tion, from their fine appearance, and being so little known. We anchored in the midst of them on the 31st. of December, and observed vast numbers of the inhabitants, who had collected on the nearest land to us, and were all armed with long spears. " On the previous day we had the misfortune to lose the cutter, and one man, who was swallowed by the surf: the rest of the Officers and crew had a narrow escape. I passed new year's night dull enough, on board the little schooner, being ordered to remain there, and keep a look-out against the na tives, who were hourly becoming more troubleiome. On the following morning the Captain, with a party of Officers and marines, came on board of• us, and we proceeded to a village, in order to have some communication with these people. The Captain, before our reaching the shore, went away in the gig, and finding it unsafe to land with so small a force in the face of two or three hundred savages, pulled along shore to a place which was rather - more de serted, where he landed, and walked up to a party of the natives. That he might inspire them with the greater confidence, he laid down his fowling-piece, which being seen by one upon the watch, was imme diately seized and carried off, the fellow being vainly though closely pursued by one of the Officers. The whole concourse of natives, whose attention were heretofore taken up by us, now rushed towards the scene of tumult, and commenced a general action by discharging volleys of stone, which was very oppor tunely put a stop to by a few shots from our twelve pound carronade, which astonished them the more from their being totally unacquainted with fire-arms. After this affray, we of the schooner contrived to effect a landing, and have a view of their huts, being, to all appearance, perfectly good friends, salUting each other, not with hearty shakes of the hand, but by a warmer mode (the sun nearly vertical), that is, by rubbing noses, and finishing with a sort of grunt. This amicable understanding lasted till we were about to depart, when they again became very an noying, and tried to detain one of the Officers, by seizing his cutlass ; but having disengaged himself, he regained his companions, and we could not quit ourselves without a volley of musketry, by which a few of these ignorant creatures were stretched on the ground. " Taheite is a delicious island—the fruits various and exquisite. They proved fatal to poor C raw l e y, however, owing to his indulging in them too freely. He fell a victim to the inflammation on the 3d of May, after six weeks' suffering, and was much la mented by his brother Officers. Three days later the Captain's steward died of the same complaint. Mr. Lay, the naturalist, was also severely affected, but recovered." Our young friend goes on to mention the arrival of the Blossom at Owhyhee (we believe), esteemed the capital of the Sandwich Islands, which has much flat land fit for cultivation, but is not so beau tiful and picturesque as the luxurious Taheite. There are many Americans resident here, and the missionaries are proselytizing the natives, not much, it would seem, to their advantage. The young King, about fourteen years of age, paid a visit, to the strangers. He was accompanied by all his Chiefs, in a double canoe, and was received with a royal sa lute, and every other mark of respect due to sove- * By reference to the Quarterly Review (LXX.) it will be seen that letters from Captain Beechey, quoted by the Reviewer ,e t a o r a tic ru le or o e i:e bie S a a n n:V ab ic l h ind ls a l n a t nd t e:s a , ti a c : n e , precisely in the spirit of this paper. From the statement Island there made, and guessing the author to be an official person, we anticipate the removal of Adams and his colony from Pitcairn reignty. He was superbly dreesed, very much after the fashion of Ili, Artillery Officer; though his brown visage, peeping under his high cocked hat created some merriment among the raids. Chiefs were also dressed in the European manner, with a great attempt at dandyism, ,though not quite FO successful as Bond-street or the Park. The voyagers left the Sandwich Islands on the Ist of June, and made their way good to Kams chatka (losing a marine in the passage.)— Here they remained five days, and thence made rapid progress to Behring's Straits.— They passed a few islands, e nd were much surprised to find these and the adjacent land so free from ice. Reached Kotzebue Sound July 25, and anchored off Chamisso Islaad, the appointed rendezvous with Captain Franklin. The mosquitoes here were in sufferable. Hence they sailed to the north, laying down the whole of the land on their way, which has not been done before by any navigator. Captain Beechey stood as far to the northward as he could, in order to get a view of the ice, which he did in August, in lat. 70 deg. 13 min. north, the highest (we believe) that has ever been attained on the western side of America. The Blossom was then tacked,:and stood back for land, about Icy Cape. The natives, in their baidars, with dried fish for sale, often disappointed the anxious lookout for signs of the overland expedition. The barge was despatched aim*. the coast to the east, but returned without success ; and on the 14th of October, to the deep .mortification of every hand, they were obliged to surrender their last hope of being joined by Captain Franklin, and sail for San Francisco. The Blossom had been for some time on but scanty allowances, 311(1 was now only provisioned for three months.— Literary Gazette. A PARISIAN DEMOSTHENES. [From an amusing volume, entitled Rambling Notes amid Reflections, suggested during a short, visit to Paris, in Bt7,' ley Sir ARTHUR BROOKS FAULKHSR.] Of the merits of the speech I hive said I could form no clear opinion. But there was an affectation of vehemence which sounded to my ears as any thing but Demosthenie. The cadence was ex tremely monotonous, and seemed to me might have been acquired at the schools of music and declama tion, which one sees so often advertised, and where, without knowing the fact, but only judging from the designation of such schools, I should conclude a man learns to pitch his tone, as some of the ancient rhetoricians did, to some instrument, and flourish his philippic in recitative. The President, whose sten terophonic voice rolls in volumes through the whole chamber, (and he is certainly not sparing of its use) hurries over a quantity of matter without the yetis lion of a single semitone, until he comes to the close of his period, when all at once he practises a most unharmonious elevation, which baffles all musical notation, as much as description to convey the least idea of. Sawing the air with both hands, he accom panied the movement with a species of emphatic nutation, which unlike Jove's, 1 found did net mean assent, but very much the contrary; if one (night judge from the manner of the next speaker. In fact, there is in the delivery of each declaimer so much of the same sort of sound and gesticulation, that having heard any given deputy, you may have a fair notion of the manner of any other. The vehemence of the parties sometimes rises so high, that you would suppose a very little more, and they must be all infallibly by the ears, when, as far as I could make out, the orator nugis annulus was purely declaiming de land caprimi. It is quite proved, I think, by the practice of the Chamber, chat the habit of speaking from written speeches is :In insurmountable impediment to an effective ora tory. How different from the matter that flows fresh from the feeling azid*asie taste of such a man as Mr. Canning! Yetis the Chamber, I think, free from one great fault, 'bitttoo common. of late years among the speakers of our own country—l mean coarse impertinence, a mistake which I have reason to know has sometimes been occasioned by a false conception of the vehemence of Demosthenes. At least 1 knew one instance, and an awful one it was, of this perversion in an I.P. of our House of Commons, who so egregiously mistook his model as to think the whole perfection of thundering his own, because he could out-do all possible competition in the bitterest virulence and veriest gall of sarcasm; never, during this fancied representation of the Athenian, seeming to recollect of what different materials the Greek audience was composed, or how far our manners, and the circumstances of society, exclude such licence; apparently forgetting also that if Demos thenes was coarse, he never brandished his weapon out of a conceited display, or, yahoo-like, to vent the feculence of a malignant spirit. Though, like some of his imitators, the Greek orator was well known to have " More appetite for werda than war," abuse was not the whole of his art. It was not worked into his constitution, and established as his ruling nature, by dint of daily and nightly cultivation. But it would be doinginjtistice in one of the cases of which 1 more particularly speak, to charge the whole he viperous vulgarity on Demosthenes. No example, !iowever imposing, could have the power so success fully to pervert the judgment, supposing the heart naturally kindly and generous, as in that instance. The fault was originally inherent in his coarse nature, and evidently must have been cultivated. as ranch from the pure love of wounding the feelings of others as the glory of standing single and un matched in the achievement. Did you ever know an orator of this school move the more generous af fections. Never; and why ? To draw a tear frurn k his auditory would be as great a miracle as to shed one himself; and if you ask me why such sort at speakers are tolerated even by the all-tolerating spirit of our House of Commons, I can answer no other way than by supposing such men afford the same sort of entertainment that we receive from the feats of a bull-dog or a prize-fighter. The brutality of human nature ever delights in the most brutal ex hibitions. . Sarcasm is not worn by such men as. a weapon for self-defence, and to be.drawn only on occasions of unavoidable necessity, and even then drawn with reluctance. In their view, badgering is the whole art of eloquence—to be thought the best human mastiff in the arena, the neplus,ultra of glory.
