M., Of Trinity College, Dublin. " This is an instructive volume for the youthful student, intended as a Supplement to Pinnock's Grecian, Roman, and English Hist.) , ries. The first half of the volume is occupied with the primaeval and classical periods ; in which the author has particulary directed his attention to those branches of history on which school-books are frequently deficient, although directly illustrative of the general coarse of study. Among these topics may be instanced, the'histories of the Persians and Carthagenians, the antagonists and rivals of Greece and Rome. In the modern division, especial attention is paid to the French system, and the Crusades, and afterwards fo the English empire in India, and British commerce in general. Then follows a series of British Biography, and, in conclusion, a view of the British Constitution. Prefixed to the volume is a union map, exhibiting, in one sheet, the ancient divisions of the world in red, and the modern in black, an ingenious and_ very useful plan."— Gentleman's Magazine.

BYRoN.—Poets must live the lives of poets, or they will have no true fire. During the last eight years of Byron's life he must have had innumerable glorious visions. His spirit always haunts me on the lake of Geneva; and I behold him for ever floating on its waves in all the shadowy brilliance. of his imaginations, or, like Manfred, hovering over the, precipices of the Alps ! I behold him at Venice, - at Ravenna, at Ferrara, at Florence, at Rome, and at Pisa ; I see him enter the soul of Dante, and wander with him in -his exile among the sombre woods, where the melancholy and mysterious poet wrote his sublime secrets of hell, purgatory, and paradise. Theie-are many who will ask whether all the intense feelings expressed by Byron in these places were not factitious extravagancies in which he was not sincere, and which his life belied : 'I say; sternly, no ! it is a mean and stupid mind _which can suspect so ; no one can feign such intensities as Byron expresses : when he wrote he was sincere, but his feelings were capri cious, and not always the same. If it can be contended that inconsistency destroys merit, wo be to human frailty I—Auto biography of Sir Egerton Brgdges. Dingle and Lapworth, two of the'individuals against whom proclamations had been issued, in consequence of their not appearing when summoned at the Bar of the House, to be ex amined with respect to this Bill, were brought to the Bar in custody, and after being_ closely questioned by the Lord Chan cellor as to the cause of their absenting themselves, and then stating that they had not kept out of the way to elude the process of the House, they were ordered to retire from the Bar. The Earl of SHA FTE SBURY then presented a petition from them, praying they might be discharged without the pay ment of fees. This the form of the House would not allow ; but- The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that the House, believing their statements, both at the bar and in their peti tions, would order them to be discharged upon the payment of their fees, and upon their undertaking to appear to give evidence on the Warwick Borough Bill whenever they were called upon. His Lordship at the same time stated that the further consideration of the Bill would be proceeded with on Tuesday next, at ten o'clock iu the morning. No further business was done, but the House was not ad journed in consequence of having to wait for the introduction of the Irish Coercion Bill, the discussion of which was not concluded till five o'clock ; shortly after that hour Mr. Chas. Wood, accompanied by several other Members of the House of Commons, brought up the Irish Coercion Bill, the News paper Postage Bill, the Lancaster Court of Comma:: Pleas Bill, the Passage Court Bill, and several private Bills, all of which were read a first time. COERCION BILL. On the motion of Lord MELBOURNE this Bill was read a first time.—Ordered to be printed, and read a second time on Monday. The House then adjourned to Monday, at half-past eleven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 26. COERCION BILL. (Continued from our First Edition.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the construction which had been put upon the clause was, that the party would be justified in transgressing the law, if he was acting bona fide, under the provisions of the present Bill. That certainly was not the intention of the Legislature. It was only where the constable or soldier had a reasonable ground for supposing that he was justified in his proceedings, that the protection of the Act was extended to him. Colonel PE RC EVA L vindicated the statement he had sub mitted to the House last night, relative to the conduct of Mr. Lyons, the magistrate of Limerick, who had instituted the prosecution against the two policemen. He should certainly feel it his duty to give notice of a motion for an inquiry into the subject. Mr. O'CONNELL said if the Hon. and Gallant Member did not, that he (Mr. O'C.) would. Sergeant PERRIN objected to the clause. He thought it conferred a species of impunity upon all persons concerned in carrying the Act into effect,which should not be extended to them. It was of course provided that in any case where an offence was committed by any constable or soldier, a prosecution might be instituted under the warrant of the Attorney-General, but that was, in his (Sergeant P.'s) opinion, no protection what ever. If there was one thing more objectionable than another to the great bulk of the population of Ireland, it was the manner in which Crown prosecutions were conducted in that country.—(" Hear, hear," from some of the Irish Members.) Lord ALTHORP contended, that in a caso like that under consideration, they could not proceed upon strictly constitu tional principles. The protection which the clause extended to the military was not to embrace the whole country, but would only extend to the proclaimed district in which the usual legislative enactments were found inefficient. It would be impossible to carry the Act into effectual operation if such a protection was not extended to those appointed by the legis lature for that purpose Mr. LYNCH maintained that the extension of such an in demnity to the military and civil power was most uncalled for and unconstitutional. After a few words from Mr. TANCRED and Mr. O'REILLY, Mr. SHAW said that it was well known that the opinions of the Cabinet had not undergone any change upon the subject the Coercion Bill, but they had resorted to a mean tem porizing policy, for the purpose of chiming in with the views of the Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin. How could such a Government expect the support of any honest or independent Member of that House ? They were visiting the poor with all the terrors of the law, while they left to the prime agitators and disturbers all the pleasures and profits of the agitation they had set on foot in Ireland. He denied that he ( Mr. S.) or those wheacted with him were op posed to the Bill, because it was not severe enough. The Right Hon. Secretary, it was evident, knew little of Ireland, for had he consulted anyperson high or low, who knew any thing of that country, he would know that there was nothing so mean and despicable as that which was nick-named the Go. vernment of Ireland.---( Hear, and a laugh.) He did not mean the Lord Lieutenant, for he was but the servant of the Government—( Hear)--and it was well known that his opi nions had been set at naught, for the purpose of gaining over the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin.—( Hear.) The Right Hon. Secretary reminded him of the saying that " the greatest happiness consisted in being well deceived."--( Laugh ter.) He thought that he had out-manoeuvred the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin; but the fact was that the Right Hon. Gentleman had been completely out-manoeuvred by that Hon. and Learned Gentleman as would appear by the expo sure of the intrigues by which Lord Grey had been thrown out of office.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. L ITTL ETON said that the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman had acted as he was in the habit of doing once or twice in a session, when perhaps he might be better em ployed in attending to the duties of his office in Ireland.— ( Hear, hear.) He had given -the House a rechauffe of the outpourings of his political inspirations at a Sheriffs dinner. (Cheers and laughter.) The Hon. and Learned Member might possibly be deserving of the eulogy_ which h e had passed upon himself in his judicial capacity, but he (Mr. L. ) must say that, it would be well if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would carry a little of that spirit of im partiality and evenness of temper into his conduct and obser vations elsewhere.—( Hear, hear.) If the Hon. and Learned Member thought that he could hurt the feelings of others by the violent and intemperate language in which he had in dulged, he ( Mr. L.) must tell him that such language and such conduct would excite nothing but his contempt. • The Right Hon. Gentleman spoke with much warmth and iehee mence, and on sitting down was loudly cheered. Mr. C. FERGUSON defended the conduct of the Lord Lieutenant and the Irish Government from the aspersions of the Hon. and Learned Recorder. It was most unfair to at tribute to the Marquis Wellesley the meanness of handing over the Government of Ireland to the conduct of others. He (Mr. Ferguson) had voted against the courtmartial clauses, but he thought that the Bill as it at present stood was calcu lated to preserve the peace of Ireland, and should be hailed as a boon by the friends of peace in Ireland.—( Hear.) It would have been as well if the Hon. and Learned Recorder, instead of abusing the Government for a change of opinion,' had • ap plied himself to the real question before the House.—(Hear. ) Mr. O'DW YER thought so much of the opinions of the Hon. and Learned Member for the University, that he carried a copy of them about him, and he held in his hand a report of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's observations at a Sheriff's dinner in Dublin.--( The reading of the extracts excited much laughter in the House.) He appealed to the House if that was not the language of a violent political agitator, and these sentiments were much more mischievous when coming from as jndicial character.—( Hear.) He could tell the Hon. and Learned Gentleman that the party with which hb was connected were a miserable and degraded faction, compared with the great mass of the people in Ireland.—( Hear. ) The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the clauses 24 Against them , 69 Majority against the clauses —4s On the question that the Bill do pass-- Mr. H. GRATTAN said he could not allow it to pass that stage without entering his protest against it to most unconsti tutional, and perfectly unnecessary. Mr. 0' R E ILL Y must also protest against the Bill, but as he had some little confidence in the Government, hOwould abstain from using that language which otherwise he would have felt it his duty to do. Agrarian disturbances could be put down by the existing laws, and if 'not, Coercion Bills would not do it ; it could only be done by the removal of the grievances which pressed upon Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL was 'obliged to oppose the motion; he was pledged to support a part of the Bill, and he would most gladly give his support to a permanent provision to put down agrarian disturbances, but he could not support it altogether. He, however, was thankful to Government for the Bill, because they now declared that these praedial disturbances were not caused by political agitation. For three hundred years Ireland had been governed by faction and violence, and now she was as disturbed as at the beginni ng o f the experiment:' Then why not try the other system. Coercion could 'not; break het,: she Was too strong ; but' she would be found fractable as she was strong. Lord ALTHORP denied that the Government admitted that political agitation had no connection with the distur bancei, though there was no doubt the effects of that con nection had been much exaggerated. - • After a few words from Mr. Shiel, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. H. Grattan,.and Lord Mthorp, The House divided, when the numbers were, For the passing of the Dill Against it Majority —45 The House then resolved itself into a• Committee of the whole House upon the Assessed Taxes. Mr. BRRNAL in the Chair. The House then resumed, and Mr. BIRNAL all Chairman of I:te Committee presented the Resolution of the Committee, MURDER OF MR. BOYD. Mr. O'DWYER regretted that some steps had not been taken relative to the murder of Mr. Boyd. Lord PALMERSTON said that the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown was, that General Moreno was not amenable to any judicial tribunal in this country. In reply to a question from Mr. RUTIIVEN, Lord ALTH 401 RP said that it was intended by the Govern. ment to increase the number of Commissioners appointed by his Majesty to inquire into the state of the Irish Church, THE IRISH TITHE BILL. Mr. SHAW wished to know if the Irish Tithe Bill was to be proceeded with (as we understood) on Monday. It stood in the Orders for that day. Lord A LTHO RP said that it was not. The Hon. Mem ber for Harwich had a motion relative to the King of Oude, which he meant to bring forward that day as an amendment to the Order of the Day, and therefore it was intended to' give precedence to the Dissenters' Admission Bill, which stood for the third reading, and would not occupy much time, and defer the Tithe Bill to another day. It was, however, the intention of the Government to proceed with the measure. Mr. O'CONNELL—In that case the session cannot pos sibly end for the next two months. The Noble Lord must know that this Bill was opposed by two parties, and that it would therefore take much time to discuss it. Lord ALTHORP was perfectly aware of the opposition that was intended to be given to this Bill ; but although the Government would have difficulties to encounter from two par ties, it was their intention to pass this measure during the pre sent session, even though one, two, or more months might be be required for discussing' its details, and fully considering it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL brought up the report of the Committee on the Eiecution of Wills, which was ordered to be printed. Mr. S. RICE obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the establishment of criminal courts at Norfolk Island. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House.adjourned at a quarter past five till Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday James Joli/P, a young man who has been living on parochial bounty for several years, was brought before Alderman Venables, the locum tenens for the LORD MAYOR, charged by Mr. Booker, one of the Bishopsgate parish-officers. Alderman VENABLES-Why do you give money to such fellows ? Mr. Booker—This is the consequence of having refused. The prisoner said he was sorry he could not despatch the overseer. Defendant—l was desperately hungry, and they wouldn't give me neither money nor meat. I am sorry for what I have done ; and if the overseers will let me go I'll bolt at once, and I'm blest if I ever come back. Alderman VENABLES—They may be glad to get rid of you on such terms, but certainly I shall not part with you so easily. Mr. Booker said that the defendant, like almost all the rest of the paupers of the parish, applied most of the money he received to the purchase of that beverage which tended so much to crowd the workhouses, and when ac cused of so applying it, his excuse was, that if the parish supported him, he supported the Government.--(A laugh.) Alderman VENABLES said it was evident to him during his mayoralty, and the opinion had been confirmed by his subsequent experience, that the distress of the poor arose, not from the want of employment, but from their improvi dence ; and until the principle of saving from their earn ings was properly inculcated, there could be no chance of checking pauperism. Defendant—lt wasn't drink, it was hunger, as made me tipsy ; and that's the way with many a poor fellow as you see tumbling about the streets.—(Laughter.) Alderman ,VENABLES—PII administer a cure to you, at any rate, for one month. Let him be taken to the House of Correction and put to hard labour for that term. Another pauper, a fellow of about seventeen years old, who had been born, bred, and educated in the workhouse, was charged with having, in consequence of the refusal of the officers to give him an extra supply, fastened himself to the door of the overseer's house, in a half-naked condition, and knocked for admission as if he called upon a visit in his own carriage. The defendant had had numerous oppor tunities of supporting himself, but never fancied labour, and returned to the workhouse to his pipe of tobacco and inde pendence. Mr. Booker—l can get this boy into a collier if be chooses to go. Defendant —What should I go in a collier for ?—( A laugh.) Alderman VENABLES—You shall go to the House of Correction at any rate. Defendant—Thank you, my Lord. Take care and put my Christian name right'. " Its " Bill."—(Laughter.) BOW-STREET. Richard Farrell, Martin Keene, and Thomas Galloway, were placed at the bar before Sir F. ROE and Mr. HALLS, charged with an unprovoked assault upon Mrs. Fleming, residing in Compton-street, Soho. Ile;complainant, it appeared, was passing through Lumber-court, St. Giles's, on the previous evening, where the three defendants reside, when, on passing the defendant Farrell's house, he rushed out upon her, and, striking her a violent blow on the head, knocked her down. A woman named Ridley, who was in her company, was proceeding to assist her to rise, when the defendant also felled her to the ground. Nichol, a policeman, then came to the spot and secured Farrell, when the other defendants attacked him, and suCceeded in rescuing him from his custody. Assist ance arrived, when Farrell Was again secured, and the other defendants, on appearing at the office on Saturday morning to give evidence in his favour, were recognised, and taken into Custody. Sir F. RoE'said it was a case of most unprovoked assault, and'one that called for the infliction of severe punishment. He then fined' Farrell in the penalty of 5/. for each assault, or in default of payment ordered him to be committed to the House of Correction for two months upon each penalty. The other defendants were also fined .50s. each, or, in the event of non-payment, commmitted for a period of one month. LAMBETH-STREET. DISGUSTING CASE OF PARENTAL CRUELTY.—WiIIiam Davis, police-constable 2.54 K, appeared before Mr. NOR.- TON, and stated that on the previous evening his attention was called to some shrieks and moans that he heard issuing from - a house in Mutton-lane, Mile-end, occupied by a tur ner named Alexander Wood. He was informed by some neighbours that the cries proceeded from a crippled child, who had been kept confined in a loathsome condition for several months past. He then introduced a respectable woman named Elizabeth Hall, who stated that she lodged in the house from February to August, 1833, and pro ceeded to state such facts relative to the treatment of the crippled child, that Mr. NORTON directed the parish offi cers of Mile-end to accompany the police and search the place. Mr. Grey, the overseer, immediately proceeded to the house with the police, and found the unhappy being in a situation language can scarcely describe. Having ob tained admission, the party proceeded to an under-ground bark cellar, desiring the father to state where his child Was. He immediately pointed to a very dark recess, in Which was an old box, from which he took an unearthly-look ing form, and placed it on a chair. Its limbs were contracted, its eyes wildly gazed around, and it seemed quite unconscious of the gaze of strangers. It was naked, with the exception of a dirty remnant of a check shirt which scarcely covered its shoulders. It appeared as if it had been recently washed and scrubbed with great violence. Its face and breast were bruised, and its legs were covered with excoriations and sores. On inspecting the horded hole into which this miserable being had been crammed no covering was found, and only a very small portion of hay spread at the bottom, which was in the most filthy condition. On a policeman removing this heap of filth, which the father called a bed, it was found to be literally alive • large maggots were crawling about in hundreds. The father, on being re monstrated with by Mr. Grey, said it was the only fit way in which he could keep his child, as theboy was unconscious of what he did ; he took care to feed him well, but he could do no more for him. Up to seven years of age he was a fine healthy boy; he was then seized with fits, and he had been in that way ever since. - He was now twenty years of age. Mr. Grey had the poor idiot conveyed in a coach to the office, and the father taken into custody. At the of fice it was found that the idiotic cripple could not utter a single word, but at intervals he made a noise like a wild animal ; various articles were exhibited to him of which he took not the slightest notice ; but when bread was pre, sented he opened his mouth and stretched out his hands, and ravenously devoured it. Mrs. Hall stated to the Ma gistrates that she was a fortnight in the house before she dis covered the unhappy creature, when she saw him laying in a corner in the workshop. She never saw him fed, but often gave him victuals herself, He was suffered to lie in filth for &week together, but was generally washed on a Sunday morning. He was sometimes taken out of the box and placed in a chair, where he was often suffered to remain until, on his removal, his skin adhered to the chair. Mr. Story, the parochial surgeon, stated that the con finement of the child in the box, which was only three feet long and twenty-two inches wide, for so long a time, was sufficient to produce contraction of the limbs. On mea suring him he was found to be four feet six inches in height, if he could have stood up. The father, in a very plausible manner, said that the habits of the child made him unfit to be treated like the rest of the family, but he always tried to make him as comfortable as he could ; he was well-fed, but he was never satisfied. He denied having ever beaten him, and said he gave him clean straw once a week. In answer to a question by Mr. Grey he said he had had five wives, and this child was by the second. Mr. WALKER thought the father had a very difficult case to deal with, although to strangers his conduct might ap pear repulsive, because he was unused to such cases. Mr. NORTON said nothing could reconcile his mind so as to judge favourably of such conduct. Mr. Baddely, parochial solicitor, said that the parish officers had determined to take the helpless being under their protection. They were resolved also to sift this case to the bottom, though the present evidence might not be sufficient to warrant the detention of the father. It could be proved, however, that four years ago the child could walk about with assistance. After some deliberation, the case was adjourned until Saturday next, when the father undertook to make his appearance. He was allowed to leave the office by the Magistrates' door, in order to escape the indignation of a crowd which had assembled round the office. The child was removed in a coach to the workhouse. THAMES POLICE. Robert Darguet, a waterman and river pilot belonging to Greenwich, was charged under the Wilful Damage Act with injuring a boat which he ran down, and nearly drowned five person, while bringing the Endeavour, of Scarborough, up the river on Sunday, the 13th instant. Mr. Gillett, a Greenwich waterman, with his wife and child, and a Mr. Church, a plumber, of Blackheath, with his wife, were the persons in the boat. The pilot was warned on coming up in tho direction of the boat that he would sink it, and he could easily have kept out of the way, but he laughed at the intimation then given. In a few minutes afterwards the bobstay of the schooner struck the boat and sunk it. All the persons in it were instantly im mersed in the water, and were saved with great difficulty by the boats of another vessel. The exertions• of Matthew Groves, a waterman of Greenwich, are particularly entitled to praise, for two of the party but for his exertions must have been drowned. It was the opinion of the persons in the boat that Darguet must have sunk it wilfully. The MAGISTRATE dismissed the complaint, thus leaving it in the power of complainants either to proceed by action for the injury, or to indict for the capital offence. Edward Stephens, the captain of the Queen Adelaide, a small steamer running between Hungerford-market and Greenwich, was summoned before Mr. BRODERIP, charged with acting as master, not being licensed to do so by the Watermen's Company, by which he had incurred the penalty of 5/. A former master of the same vessel was fined 51. some weeks back, and Stephens was on Saturday, the 19th instant, convicted in the penalty of 40s. for the same offence. • Mr. Banyon, clerk of the Watermen's Company, stated that their jurisdiction extended. between Yantlet Creek, in Kent, and Windsor ; and in answer to a question from Stephens' solicitor, he said he was not aware of any steamers being licensed by the Company. It was contended for Stephens that the Watermen's Company had no power to license steamers, and conse- quently no jurisdiction over them. They were not even mentioned in the Act of Parliament. It was further con tended that the power of licensing possessed by the Corn. pany extends only to boats that do not carry more than eight persons. -- The defendant was fined 5/. ; but gave notice of his in ion to appeal against the decision. Captain Grant, master of the Royal Sovereign, Margate steam-packet, was charged with " assaulting and beating" three gentlemen on the river Thames, the same being a common and ancient highway, by running down a boat con taining Mr. Thomas Masterman, an opulent brewer, of Broad-street, Ratcliff, Mr. Edward Heath, a shipowner, and Mr. Wm. Heath, his uncle, off Greenwich, on the even ing of Wednesday, the 16th instant, by which they very narrowly escaped drowning. From the evidence it appeared that the complainants went out in a wherry for the purpose of bathing, and, about nine o'clock, Mr. Masterman and Mr. W. Heath were in the boat, lying on their oars, off the Isle of Dogs, opposite Greenwich, waiting for Mr. Edward Heath, who was in the water, when the Royal Sovereign hove in sight, coming up the river with the tide. They immediately began pulling in towards the north shore to get out of her way, and Mr. E. Heath, by the advice of the others, took hold of a rope astern, to save himself from being drowned by the swell from the steamer's paddles. Directly afterwards the Royal Sovereign seemed to alter her course, and bear towards them at a very' rapid rate, on which they hailed her as loud as they were able, and continued pulling towards the shore, but the steam-vessel came after them, as if it was giving chase, and came stem on direct upon their boat. She was struck in midships, and the gunwale stove in, by which she filled and went from under them. Mr. E. Heath, who had been bathing had just before got into the boat by the advice of his friends, as a collision seemed inevitable, and Mr. Masterman, at the moment the boat was struck, or two or three seconds before, jumped up and made a spring at the steamer's chain cable, to which he clung, while ano ther seized the bobstay, and kept the boat and the third person from actually going down, until they were taken into the watermen's boats, which put off to their assistance. The boat then swung round on the larboard bow, and sunk. The three complainants said they were saved as by a mi racle, and that very great neglect, to say the least of it, was•exhibited by the conductors of the steamer. Mr. E. Heath lost all his clothes and money. Two watermen, who saw the accident, confirmed the statement of the complainants. Mr. BRODERIP said the case was one of such great im portance to the public, whose lives and property were hourly put in peril by the dangerous navigation of the steamers, and particularly by the velocity of those con stantly running to Gravesend, that the Magistrates would not dispose of the case summarily, but were determined to send it to the Sessions. Mr. Ryland, for the defendant, begged it might be un derstood that he had a complete answer to the case, and he could prove, by a host of witnesses, that the gentlemen caused the mischief by their own imprudence. He should, of course, reserve his defence. Defendant was then held to bail, in two sureties of 50/. each, and himself in 100/. MEMOIRS OF HENRY SALT, ESQ., LATE CON- Stl.-GENERAL IN EGYPT.—This work possesses the two-fold attraction of a book of travels in a highly interesting country, and the history of a man of first-rate science and enterprise. As a piece of authorship it will rank with the best productions of its class. It is written in an unaffected style, and its hero is so frequently allowed to speak for himself, that it possesses all the advantages of an autobiography. The history of Mr. Salt is curious : he' began life as a portrait painter, but was unsuccessful, and afterwards gladly accepted the offer of Lord Valentia to accompany him to India as a draughtsman. ht 1809 Salt was sent by the British Government to Abyssinia with presents to the sovereign of that country. In 1815 he was appointed Consul-General in Egypt. From this period his researches for antiquities were constant and indefatigable. He devoted his private property (5,0000 to collect antiquities for the British Museum, and was rewarded, as public benefac tors are usually rewarded for such services. Altogether this is one of the most important and interesting works of the pre sent season.—United Service Gazette. SINGULAR EFFECT OF SUPERSTITION.—At Roche fair, within a few miles of this place, on Tuesday last, whilst a merry-andrew belonging to an itine ran t ex hibi t i on was delighting a gaping multitude with his jests and gambols, one of a numerous colony of rooks located in a neighbouring grove was seen approaching the village, and after hovering over the spot on which the exhibition stood, alighted on a line which supported the upper part of the booth, where the sable visitant sat, as if delighted with the music, &c. After some time the bird flew off to its companions, and fluttered and cawed as if inviting them to proceed to the enchanted spot, but not being able to succeed, it flew back with the rapidity of a hawk following its prey, and without stopping, alighted on the head of the posture-master, by whom it was caught. An old woman who had seen more than ninety summers, and in whose yard the booth was placed, declared that the occurrence was an evil omen, as such another circumstance had happened when she was a child, and shortly after about 200 persons had died of a fever that raged in the parish. To avert, if possi ble, a similar visitation, the old woman, backed by a number of persons, insisted that the booth should be immediately re moved from the village, and notwithstanding the remonstrances of the showman and of the less superstitious part of the audi tory, this was effected, to the great dissatisfaction of the spec tators, and the great loss of the performers.— West Briton. A great convivial meeting, composed of the electors who supported Sir John Hobhouse in the contest which has just terminated for the represention in Parliament of Nottingham, was held on Friday evening, in the large room of the Ex. change for the purpose of celebrating the Right Hon. Baro net's return. Four tiers of tables stretching the length of the great room were placed for the party. At a little after eight o'clock, Sir John Hobhouse, accompanied by Lord Rancliffe and Mr. Wakefield, his proposer and seconder, by the Mayor, Alder., men, and other members of the Corporation, and by numerous other distinguished friends, entered the room, and was re ceived with long-continued cheering. At each corner of the room a banner was hung bearing the inscriptions—" Our Pa triot, Grey," " Liberty to all the World," and " The Con stitution in its Purity." THOMAS WAKEFIELD, Esq., was appointed to the chair, and, in proposing the h ea lth o f Si r J o h n H o b house, said he re gretted.that the Right Hon. Baronet had not been allowed a hearing in his own defence on the day of nomination. It was fair, it was right, it was just, that the electors should have a full explanation of the circumstances which brought Sir John Hobhouse amongst them as a candidate—( Hear, hear)—and that they should know there was no individual had more in fluence in that choice, or did more to conduce to his being now their Member than any one individual, be he rich or poor, who tendered his vote for him.—( Much applause, and " Hear" from Sir John Hobhouse.) On the 16th July he (the Chair man) received a letter from their late ROTesentative, Lord Duncannon, stating the arrangements which might take place, and that probhhly he might be called upon to take another office, and be called to the House of Peers ; but, as these ar rangements were not certain, his Lordship begged he would not mention them to any individual. He could not, of course, make it known ; at the same time his Lordship stated " that many of their friends in London had been thinking that, if such an event should take place, that Hobhouse, whom they long wished to see in Parliament, would make a good repre sentative for the town of Nottingham." —(Applause.) At that time no intimation that his (the Chairman's) friend (if he might be allowed to call him so) had been given that ho was likely to become connected with the Administration or a member of the Cabinet. Sir Jonx HOBHOUSE--I knew nothing about the matter whatever.—( Cheers. ) The ChAIR MAN . continued by o b serv i ng , t h at h e wrote to Lord Duncannon, stating that be regretted exceedingly that they should lose his services as their representative ; but if from his duty to his country, his Lordship felt himself called upon to resign the repre sen t a ti on of_ Nottingham, he (the Chairman) could not, and would not, pretend to state to the electors who was a fit and proper person to become their re presentative—( Applause)—but he did not think, from the character of Sir John Hobhouse, and from the estimation he believed he was held in, that he would be received by the electors as a suitable person ; and he added that, in making a private communication, if it were thought desirable that he should be their representative, he would, as soon as he could, state there would be a vacancy, and call a meeting of the electors. On the fol lowing day (Thursday) he received another letter from Lord Duncannon, stating that he was appointed to the Home Office, and was to be raised to the Peerage ; the other arrangements were not certain, and would not b e k nown b y the time of the post leaving London. On that same day he received a letter from Gen. Ferguson—(Applause)—to say that he believed Sir J. Hobhouse would be appointed to the situation of Com missioner of Woods and Forests, vacant by Lord Duncannon; and that if the electors of Nottingham were inclined to choose him, he ( Sir R. Ferguson) believed they would be conferring a benefit on the country in establishing the principles of the Government, by showing their testimony of entire approbation of it, and by this means enable it to persevere—(Hear, hear) —and he believed the elevation of Lord Duncannon, and the appointment of Sir John Hobhouse was the surest pledge of their intention.--( Cheers.) On the same day that he received these communications, a London Paper, to his surprise and astonishment, contained an announcement that Lord Dun cannon was Home Secretary, and that Sir John Hobhouse had succeeded him as Commissioner of Woods and Forests, and that he was gone down to Nottingham, and was to be their representative. This was done before he had an opportunity of consulting any of the electors. On the same day a com munication was received from the friends of Mr. Eagle that ho intended to offer himself for the town of Nottingham. Those who announced Mr. Eagle must either have been in commu nication before, or have received a communication from him, as soon as the arrangement became known, and if so, how could they, with consistency or decency, charge any party or public body with wishing to cram a member down their throats --(Hear, hear)--when they themselves were the individuals to do so, backed by the influence of Mr. O'Connell ? He (the Chairman) would ask the company whether the individuals (alluding to the Corporation) who had been charged with making the town of Nottingham an Old Sarum borough, had not always, and in the worst of times, struggled to render service to the town, and to save it from Tory thraldom..._.( Hear, hear, and cheering.) He hoped they would excuse him while he alluded to the recommendation of Mr. Eagle by Mr. O'Con nell. About six days before that recommendation came down to Nottingham, Mr. O'Connell and his "tail".—(Laughter)— signed a document, addressed t o L or d Althorp, saying there was no security for the country against Tory domination, un less the present Administration was continued.—( Hear.) He then, notwithstanding, sent down his recommendation, and on the next day he called on a gentleman, whose name as it was communicated to him (the Chairman) in confidence, he was not at liberty to mention, but whom they all knew, as one whose vera city was unquestionable.—( Cheers, the company understanding to whom the Chairman alluded.) He called upon that gentle man, who, making his " recantation of recommendation," said that hearing that Sir J. Hobhouse had gone down to Not tingham, he was sorry he had recommended Mr. Eagle ; but that he felt convinced that Mr. Eagle would resign as soon as he was aware that Sir John was a candidate. They all knew the able manner in which Mr. O'Connell had advocated th•- people's cause---(" Hear, hear," from Sir J. Hobhouse)--but he (the Chairman) thought they would agree with him that Mr. O'Connell ought no t to interfere with the right of election of the people of this country.--( Hear, hear.) lie should not impose his dictation on the electors of Nottingham, and thus propose to them a candidate—and such a candidate I—( Laugh ter, and clapping of hands)—to elect at his bidding. After regretting the differences which had occurred between the electors present and the Radicals, and disclaiming having used any influence to forward the election, lie concluded by propos.- ing the health of Sir John Hobhouse. Sir J. Honnouse, when the applause with which he was received had subsided, said that he fancied himself again amongst his old friends, the people of Westminster, with whom he commenced his Parliamentary life ; and if the generous and worthy people of Nottingham had not condescended to rescue him from the undeserved calumny of which he had been made the victim—( Hear, hear)—it was probable he should have passed the remainder of his days in private life. To the elec tors of Westminster he owed everything ; but to the people of Nottingham, under the difficult circumstances in which he was placed, he sh ou ld ever return hi s very great thanks for the.sup port which they gave him in the election, and they should ever possess his heartfelt gratitude for its result.—( Applause.) Was it possible, he would ask, that a man who for years had served the people, would come to Nottingham, and think to deceive the people.—( Hear, hear.) Shameful I disgusting impossible I He, one of the people, that he could think of coming to them to deceive them, and disgrace himself I To come to Nottin g h am f or suc h a purpose I it was too trumpery to be at all likely.—( Hear, hear.) The attack made upon him was not for him, for they (the electors) had given the an swer, that he was now Member for Nottingham.--( Great cheering.) H e owe d hi s present situation in the Government to the opinions arising out of those subjects which the people alone had made prevalent, and which will finally be the real master principles of all the Governments of civilized man kind.—( Much applause.) He knew what the spirit of the age taught, and what it was teaching. He was told that he was an impeding drag on public opinion, which he denied ; it could not and ought not to be impeded.—(Hear, hear, and applause). He could have passed down the stream of time without entering public life, having those means which ren dered it unnecessary for him to enter into it ; but he felt the importance of obtaining Parliamentary Reform.--( Hear, hear) —and on a public principle he entered into the great struggle for that measure.—( Applause.) There was now a represen tation of the people in that House, which he now called " the House of Commons," but which, when he entered public life, was not a House of Commons.—( Cheers.) He had suffered and struggled much in the cause of the people, and it was me lancholy to think that it was now all forgotten. It had been objected to him, that when he came into public life he was op posed to the Whigs. He cared not for names. Why did he oppose the Whigs in 1819 ? Why, because the Whigs were not then Reformers ; but now he supported them because they had become so.—( Cheers.) He was now a Member of Par liament, and he owed much to the electors of Nottingham, who had placed him on the proud pedestal, to enable him to tell the truth.—( Hear, and applause.) He was not there as a Cabinet Minister to conceal secrets, because the present Go vernment had no secrets—( Cheers)—and let it go forth to the world (continued the Right Hon. Baronet impressively), be cause they are opposed to predominance throughout the world. —( Great cheering.) He could say that the party of 1819 was not the party of the present time—( Hear, hear)—whose principles were sound, and based on those of the Reform Bill, and not wild and ridiculous principles. The present Govern ment, he believed, understood the interests of the people of England, and would attend to any suggestion that might be made to them by the people of England.--( Hear, bear.) The electors of Nottingham had returned two Members who had been added to the Reform Cabinet—Lord Duncannon and himself. [The Right Hon. Baronet was here interrupted, by a piece of lead having been thrown among the company, It was sent with great force, whistling into the room through the end window, from the street. In its fall it struck a gentleman who was seated at one end of the tables nearly at the extreme end of the room, and who narrowly escaped being seriously injured by it.
