After the match fifty sat down to a handsome dinner, provided by Mr. Swayne, landlord of the Red Muse ta vern. While the social glass was going round another match was made between Messrs: Swayne and Berryman against Messrs. Sproston and Stonebill, for the next day, for 101. aside, at twelve pigeons each ; but each side killed 19, and the match 'was not in decided, consequence of there being no more pigeons.

GYBLETTS AND REUBEN MARTEN.—An accidental meeting took place on Friday evening, between Marten and Jackeou the runner, when the latter proposed backing Gybletts against Marten, for a hundred. The offer was accepted, and Marten baring re tired to raise the wind, on his return, articles were drawn up and signed, to fight on the 10th of April, within one• hundred miles of Landon; to be a fair stand-up fight, in a four-and-twenty-foot roped ring, half minute time.

SAMUEL LARKINS AND WILLIAM ABBOTS—A deposit of 10/. a-side was made good at the Castle Tavern, Holborn, on Tuesday last, and articles drawn up and signed between these men to fight on the 13th of March in a twenty-four feet roped ring, within 80 miles of London, for 50/. a side.

Upon this, another learned Editor observes, by way of taunt at the dulness of his contemporary— " Now, if twenty horses are divided into five stables, will not each stable contain four horses ? And how can any one contain an odd number? The truth is, that this is one of those plain things which puzzle a person by their being proposed as puzzles." A correspondent of the latter gentleman, too, can only get through the difficulty by turning " Knacker," and transmitting the whole thing into an Irish Bull, as follows : " The only way to solve this nuzzle is, to make one horse into two halves, and to put seven whole horses in the first stable, three in the second, three in the third, three horses and half a horse in the fourth, and three horses and half a horse in the fifth stable." We, however, should think that the feat might be accomplished less cruelly and laboriously thus : — Put twenty- one horses into five stables, according - to this distribution —three in the first stable, three in the second, and five in each o f t h e ot h er t h ree Stables ; by which there will be twenty horses in five stables, and each stable with an odd horse ! Q. E. D. Any other distribution of 21 horses on the same principle, will attain the same end.

The equerry of the embassy and his deputy, Alth'twelvr_wonaa richly dttssed,•all mounted on th e am b assa d or ' s h orses* 6 ; Eight laequeys on foot, in the ambassador's private liviirhr Twenty-fonr footmen of the embassy dressed in bluefrock colts, trimmed with broad gold lace, and wearing laced cocked hats lined with ostrich feathers. In the midst of them walked the chief but ler with a bag and sword. The five interpreters of the embassy, riding singly according to seniority, that is, the lowest in rank going at the head, and the highest going last. They were dressed according to. the Oriental costume, although of Frank descent, the etiquette or rather the arrogance of the Porte forbidding interpreters serving foreign em bassies to appear before the Turkish authorities in their rnational dress. They wore, however, on their heads, as a mark of inde pendence And privilege, a high cap made of black sable, similar to the one which is worn by hussars, the top being, as in theirs, of scarlet cloth—Next came The ambassador. The secretary of the embassy. The consul-general. A secretary, supporting with both hands a small crimson satin cushion on which were placed the ambassador's credentials and letters of recall, contained in a satin bag embroidered with gold. The imperial residence, called the seraglio, consists of a great number of small and low detached buildings, the highest of which have not more than two stories. They are scattered over an im mense extent of ground, intermixed with trees and gardens, and occupying the whole and identical space on which Byzantium once stood. The walls by which the seraglio is surrounded, have been supposed to be those of that ancient city; but the more reasonable opinion is, that they were raised in the reign of the Emperor Justinian, whose numerous architectural improvements iu and about Constantinople many monuments attest to the present day. The outer principal entrance to the seraglio, on the street side, is a lofty and long gateway, bordered with broad fixed benches, on which numerous porters spread their carpets in the hot summer days, and enjoy, smoking their pipes, the constant refreshing draft. This entrance leads immediately to a wide open square, ou the left of which is situated the Mint. Facing is a high wall, through'which a second gate, as high but not as deep as the first, leads to an inner court, thickly shaded by a number of 'tall trees very symmetrically laid out. This court is surrounded with buildings of various shapes and sizes, most of which are used as household offices, and lodgings for such of the seraglio attendants as are not allowed to penetrate into the . inner apartments. AMOR.' them, to the left, is the great divan-room, or council, chamber, which in appearance and shape may be compared to the Guildhall of London in miniature. The moment that the distribution of the pay commenced,. the head chamberlain was called in by the 'Vizier, and desired to go to the Sultan and announce the arrival of the English ambassador in these words :—" Some infidels have come from the King of Eng land with presents,* and beg to be fed and clothed at your court; and admitted to be dazzled by the splendour of your sublime pre sence." The chamberlain returned half an hour after, and ap proached us in solemn and dignified pace. He held in his left hand a long staff richly ornamented with gold; and in his right, which was raised to his forehead, a paper or parchment, : contained in a'bag made of embroidered crimson satin, on which were writ ten these imperial words, addressed to the Vizier, " Let the Eng 7 lish infidels be fed, clothed, and admitted to approach my sublime presence." Upon the reading this mandate, the ambassador was welcomed by the Vizier, and invited to walk into the divan-room to partake of an entertainment which was here called a dinner, but to which we might have given the appellation of_Jejeune d la foureliette, if such things as knives and forks were to be seen on Turkish tables. The divan-room we found to be, as it were, thoroughly lined with dark walnut-wood ; floor, ceiling, wain scots, tables, benches, and stools, being all of that material. The Vizier was seated on a kind of arm-chair in the middle of the bench facing the entrance, with his legs hanging down and resting on a stool—the first instance I had seen of a Turk's quitting the usual posture of sitting cross-legged ; this, however, was accounted for by the absence of sofas, which are an indispensable article of furniture in every room of a Turkish house. Before the Vizier stood a very small table. On the right -hand bench were seated all the ministers of the Porte, and on the left the Mooftee and all ,the dignitaries of law and religion. There were also before them tables of some length. With the exception of these, the room was occupied precisely in the manner it is seen when a council of state is held therein for some extraordinary purpose. About four or five feet above the Vizier, we perceived a latticed window, be hind which the Sultan sits on those occasions as a silent president, seeingiwithont being seen, and making known his will in writing to the Vizier through private secretaries, who are constantly going 10, rings, ooo4 al l At backwards a n d f or wards between the sovereign and his vi cero y.

JORNSTONE.—The author of Elizabeth de Bruce is a lady of the name of Johnstone. Mr. Johnstone, her husband by a second marriage, kept for some years a respectable seminary at Dunfermline, Fifeshire. He removed from Dunferm line, eight or ten years ago, to Inverness, where he, or rather his lady had charge for seven or eight years of one of the best conducted countiy newspapers in Scotland. For a lady to manage the details, and to pen the leading articles of a political journal, is not very consistent with our notions of female genius and female pursuits ve ; yet the truth, we have every reason to believe, is exactly as removed stated. t A o b E ou di t n t b w n o rg y h e . ars .w ag e l ia l% % ! the publication pen since her arrival in that capital previous Janus, a miscellany of Elizabeth, except a few contributions to superintendence of Pro published by Oliver and Boyd, under the . l 'u r P t Dr. Maginn and effo is fessor John Wilson, to which Jr. e rs i; o t j olhi: a s r t d o noeft any d husband a h n e c i l 's former -work, Clan-Albin, have contributed. Mrs. Johnstone 's with peculiar difficulties, part though its publication was attended in of it being printed in London and part Edinburgh,was, every Mr. Carlysle, the translator of Wilhelm Meister, are also said to thing considered, very successful. We have heard that the authors share of the profits was above a hundred pounds a volume ; and it has proved a valuable bargain to the young and enterprising pub lishers Messrs. Afacredie and Co. Clan-Albin was followed almost immediately by the first of the series of wonderful works which have stamped a character on the literature of the age—we allude to the Waverley Novels. It is more than probable that the splen did productions of Scott were the cause of the long silence of the author of Elizabeth; for it is matter of common observation, that the labours of overpowering genius, while they call into light a numerous fry of petty authorlings, imitatorum sermon peens, have a tendency to repress, through despair of rivaling them, the efforts of those nobler spirits which are touched with a spark of the same fire. However this may be, we have the fact before us, that sonic dozen of years elapsed between Clan-Albin and Elizabeth de Bruce, and we know that every attempt was in that interval made by her first publishers to set Mrs. Johnstone's pen once more in motion. We have only to add, from the universal consent of her acquaintance, th at Mrs. Johnstone is a woman of lady-like pre is not so very ticklish a subject as that of a Bence, and v ery f asc i nating manners. The age o f a marr i e d l a d y sup pose M rs . J . may baboutf t• y. rather more than terary Gazett e , spinster. We e. • • The Report of th e Commission on the Proje c t - . of the Law of the Press, was presented by N. Bonnet, the Chairman of the Committee. The CornniissiOn ..... commended an ,alteration of nearly all.the articles ~ o f the - " • ministerial project; but _so inveterate and incorrigible would appear to have been thq evil inherent in its-original . essence, that it has diffused its taint' oier the.antended:bill, and must render it offensive and MisehievousAO ihe na tion. Out of the 23 articles of the - Project; as - it. ciinielrom the office of the Minister of Justice,-three are entirely sup pressed, 15 or 16 are essentially amended, - antl.tinly four are retained in the state in which they were presented to the Chamber: but even in this new shape; so - far is the proposed law from' giVitig general satisfaCtion, that we find some of - the Members of the' Commission inscribing their names to speak 'against it. ' The first ar w ic, etc the interval between the deposit to€t ie- svitle'authorities, and thepublicatign of k,-is unfortunately retained; - 'though the elicep tions to its application are greatly extended. The 'ridicu lous and extray'agatte•tax proposed to be levied on pam phlets of five sheets and under is suppressed, and a re strictive regulation is substituted, .with.the desiga:of-ope rating as a check on the issue of works whose ; etrculation that tax was intended to limit. -. These offensive ;works have of late generally assumed the shape of e*,3glpip, and the commission conceiving that-the 'spirit of .mischief be comes more deadly when concentrated into so-,small' a space, recommends that nothing • shall' be-published of, a less size than on an 18mo, .without the permissioti'of the constituted authorities. 'As this latter form seems - small enough for the existing race and generation of men, there probably can be no .great reason to 'quarrel with the proscription of the pigmy volumes; in - 32m0 ; but, on the other hand, who can scarcely speak with-gravity of a legislative effort to arrest the progress of immorality, irreligion, or sedition, by regulati n g th e s i ze 'of the page on which works of such a tendency are printed r, Th e article which rendered th e o r i g in a l project of law inexe eutable with respect to printing-offices, by prohibiting the issue of a sheet even to be dried or stitched, till the de posit was made of the entire copy, has been amended so as to include under the character of printing-offices, all the establishments necessary to complete the preparation of the work for publication. The provision of the erigi nal measure which restricted the proprietors of a journal to live, has been abolished, and an amended , clause inserted, requiring one, two, or three proprietors, representing ,a third part of the property, t o reg i ster their names. as re sponsible for the contents of the publication. , Thus a proprietor redactear will; come in place of the fictitious person called at present a respon,sible editor... Females and minors are not proscribed as in -the. original project, except from the portion of the property .which is reguitereti in the name. of the proprietor or proprietoriti respo4itile for the conduct of the journal. The last important amendment which we have room to notice, is, .that which regards the prosecution of libel on private character. By the original project, the mere offensive introdue,tion of the name of a private individual into a publk'ation might be punished by fine, and prosecuted on an e.r officio information, without the req ues t, an d even contrary to the wish, of the aggrieved party. The Cortunission re rains the first part of the article, but renders the consent of the defamed person necessary to the commencement of proceedings against his libeller. The responsibility of printers, against which so loud a clamour has been raised n the French capital, is still retained, but a discretionary power is vested in the Court to discharge them from their liability, according to circumstances. There is no question that these amendments, if they pass, will render the law against the press in France less mischievous or objection able than it appeared on its first introduction;' but the most enlightened portion of the French people declare, that no new restrictive measure at all was necessary; that the check on licentious writings was already sufficient in the existing code; that the Courts had, by its aid, suppres sed the defamatory libels which appeared under the title of Biographies, and punished their authOrti; that a project like that of Peyron ne t cou ld not b e a l tere d . by the com mission so as t o b e ren d ere d innoxious'; - and that the noun • rasura would have been better thtn a thousand amend ments.

Upon the strength of that first and aboriginal meal, one may muster courage to face the difficul ties before one, and to dare the worst, but to be roused out of one's warm bed, and perhaps a profound oblivion of care, with golden dreams (for poverty does not prevent golden dreams), and told there is nothing for breakfast, is cold comfort, for which one's half-strung nerves are not prepared, And throws a damp upon the prospects of the day. It is a bad beginning. A man without a breakfast is a poor creature, unfit to go in search of one, to meet the frown of the world, or to borrow a fh ill ing of a friend. He may beg at the corner of a street-nothing is too mean for the tone of his feelings—robhing on the highway is out of the question, as requiring too much courage, and some opi nion of a man's self. It is, indeed, as old Fuller, or some wor-. thy of that age, expresses it, "the heaviest stone which melan choly can throw at a man," to learn, the first thing after he rises in the morning, or even to be dunned with in bed, that there is no loaf, tea, or butter, in the, house, and that the baker, the grocer, and butterrnan, have refused to give any farther credit. This is taking one sadly at a disadvantage. It is striking at one's spirit and resolution in their very source, the stomach ; it is at tacking one on the side of hunger and mortification at once ; i t is casting one into the very mire of humility, and Slough o f Despond.—Monthly Magazine. . _ . • CAUTION.—There is a species of swnadling now in practice which cannot be made too public, as it has hitherto been very successful.
