These futile and disreputable attempts at competition, '(in one case, from the paucity of every other pretension, reduced to the pitiful extremity of exhibiting a Spread Eagle,) cannot fail of completely establishing the preference of the Public, and the reputation of the original object of so much rivalry and contention. cir At the Spread Eagle Inn, Tavern, and Hotel, Passengers and Families leaving London by any of the above Conveyances, will find superior accommodation, combined with the advantage of being on the spot when the Coaches start.

PHILLIPPS, Esq. of the Inner Temple. Two vols. : London. The fact of an author's having written a Law Book which went through half a dozen editions, may be . a recommendation in the eyes of a Lawyer—but we will candidly own, that his an nouncement as the author of the " Law of Evi dence," was the very circumstance which for some time prevented our undertaking the perusal of Mr. Phillipps's present volumes; and, indeed, we must admit, that we owe the gratification derived from them to the accidental perusal of the Preface, in which the object of the work is declared as follows, not to be purely legal. Every reader of the early State Trials must have often felt himself embarrassed by the pro lixity and confusion in which the proceedings are involved. One who is not familiar with such subjects would frequently find himself be wildered, and even a person conversant with legal investigations, may sometimes require a clue to guide his course. One of the objects, therefore, of the present work, has been to give a clearer and more comprehensive view of the several cases, by retrenching what is superfluous and irrelevant, and reducing into order all that is material. The most difficult and important part of such an undertaking is the enquiry after truth, and an impartial statement of the fair result of evidence. How far I have succeeded in this part of my task it will be for others to decide. Perhaps I may be allowed to say that I have given to this enquiry all the consideration in my power, and that my first wish has been to exer cise an unprejudiced and dispassionate judg ment." Such is the principle (vide Preface, page 7.) on which the present volumes are found ed. Their author restricts his claims on public attention to the circumstance of his having merely given an ,( impartial statement of the fair result of evidence ;" our duty, however, as critics, compels us to state, what his modesty seems inclined to conceal, that he has gone much deeper into his subject ; he has first given us an important State Trial— Lord Stafford's, for instance, on which material differences, even up to this hour, are enter tained—and then commented on that trial both as a lawyer and as a man of the world. H e writes, however, " currente calamo," looking rather to the amusement and instruction of the general reader than to the particular edifica tion of the lawyer. Hence his volumes teem with entertainment ; and, we may add also, that he is the only law writer of the day with whose volumes we are acquainted, who has lavished on a subject consecrated from time immemorial to dulness, the graces of a pleasant, polished, and colloquial style. It was said of Burke that he could make a finance statement as interesting as a fairy tale : this was the highest praise that could be bestowed on him, for most men can furnish forth information on their own particular but not one in a hundred can ma k e th a t information palatable. Mr. Phillipp s , h owever , llicss)one so, and thus proved, not that lie possesses less knowledge, but that he has the art (a sure criterion of talent) to convey what he possesses in a more popular shape than the ge nerality of well-informed lawyers. His cursory remarks on the trial of Lady Alice Lisle, are cases in point ; they are pleasantly and pithily expressed, and neutralize by their candour the venom of the Chief Justices prejudices. The trial, fact, was the triumph of a s h rew d sophis ticalrial intellect is an ov o e t r h d se p n e s r e ha a p n s, d more innocence. gene r ß al u ly t s tl e i r e v r i e ceable light in which Mr. Phillipps's pre sent work may be viewed. We mean as an an tidote in part to Hume. Every reader knows that where the Stuarts were concerned, that historian relaxed the sacred dignity of truth, and became wantonly inaccurate. He re quires, therefore, a counterpoise in more than one part o f his narrative, and th a t counter poise may be found throughout our author's account of, and comments on, the important public trial of Lord Stafford. It is not the province of a newspaper to enter very minutely into detail on the subject of any wor k t h at m ay happen to be the subject of review, we s hall, therefore, conclude with recommending the pre sent work, first, to lawyers, from its knowledge of jurisprudence, and secondly, to readers of history, from its scrupulous adherence to im partiality. LONDON SESSIONS, JULY 11. Mr. Turner, a gentleman of considerable pro perty, was indicted for having attempted to commit a rape upon a very interesting female, not 17 years of age, named Eliza Thompson. ' Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS was for the prosecution, Mr. ADOLPHUS for the defence. Eliza Thompson stated, that the defendant, who was landlord of the house in which her father resided, and was well acquainted with the family, called at the house of the 25th of November. While he was there, a Sheriff's officer entered, and said that her father had been arrested for 61. or 71., upon which defendant said that he should not stay in prison for that sum, or for 1001., and desired her to accompany him to the lock-up house in half an hour, as he did not know the way. She consented, and as they went along defendant told her that as her mother had to go to the Burlington Arcade, she could not meet them at the lock-up house for two hours, and they might as well go round by Cheapside. They then went over London Bridge, and defendant led her through some lanes to a house which he said was the " Shades," where they could get refreshments. She objected ; but upon his declaring that the house was respectable, she went in. A woman met them in the passage, and defendant %poke to her in a low tone of voice, upon which the wo man sheaved them up stairs to a sitting room, and at his desire brought up a pint of wine. Witness at first refused to drink any, but he insisted upon her drinking off a glass, and then pressed her to take another, but in vain; he then told her how much he liked her, and that he would marry her, and keep her, and he dragged her over upon his knee, and began to kiss her hand ; she resisted this liberty, but he proceeded to greater, and pulled her to the sofa, where he showed that his intention was to do her irreparable injury ; he tried to stop her mouth too, but she screamed as loud as she could; the woman then ran up stairs, and asked her whether she knew what she came there for ? to which she replied in the negative ; defendant desired the woman to go out of the room, and she went, and nodded to her as she went away; witness,was scarcely able to stand, and held by the door, and she told him that she would tell her father as soon as she should get home; she then went down, and he followed her, and the woman said to him as they went out, " you are a very bad man ;" witness was exceedingly ill when she got out, and she was so frightened that she took his arm ; they then went in, and stopped at the public-house of a Mr. Bailey, who was known to her father, and who gave her a glass of wine ; defendant then told her not to tell her father, and she at length consented not to mention what occurred; she did not tell her father for some time, as he is greatly in debt to • the defendant; on the following day she told her sister, Emily, and the servant girl, what had occurred, and they all agreed that it would be best not to say any thing about the transaction, on account of the debt ; in three months her father was made acquainted with it; defendant had liberated him on the evening alluded to. Cross-examined:—When her father was acquaint ed with what had happened defendant put a dis tress into the house for rent; about a month after wards she went to the man in the house ; her father had been assisted with money often by defendant; Mr. Broom, her father's lawyer, dined every day at the house, and carried on his business there; de fendant had told her that her father behaved ill to her, and that he would take her to himself ; this he said on their way to Elbow-lane; she was not so friendly with defendant after the occurrence; after wards she went to the play with her mother and sis ter, and Mr. Turner ; she and her brother were se parated from her family by the crowd, and defendant took them into the boxes. Juliet French, a fat, elderly, well-dressed lady, for some time the proprietor of a brothel, stated, that she kept the house, No. 8, in Elbow-lane ; she had seen the defendant several times ; she remembered that he went to her house one night in November with a young lady ; she heard a noise on that occa sion ; she went up on account of it; the lady was standing up ; witness might have nodded to her, but could not recollect whether she said any thing to the man ; it was very likely that she said something re proachful to him ; it was her practice to do so, if a man went to her house for an improper purpose. Cross-examined.—Ladies were in the habit ef making a noise in her . house; the lady in questi on did not require her to give protection, nor did she appear at all weak. Frances Hedges deposed,. that Eliza, upon g o i ng home on the night m question, appeared grea tl y flurried, and burst into tears, but did no t t e ll h er what occurred until next day, when she related what had been just stated. Emily Thompson, sister to the prosecutrix, gave evidence to the same effect. Mr. Thompson, fatli , er to the prosecutrix, stated, that the moment he heard the story he went to a lawyer, by whose advice he commenced a civil ac tion; but finding that the advice was wrong, he proceeded criminally, lie had given his accept ances to defendant for what was due, and they would be paid when due. Mr. Broom did not dine at his house frequently. my. Broom said, that he is an attorney; that he had issued a writ for the assault upon the prosecu trix; that an action was going on for damages sus tained by his client by the loss of his daughter's ser vices. He had another action for the trespass, and one for the schooling of two children of a lady who lived with Mr. Turner. The RECORDER—It is nonsense to talk of an a ction for the loss of services. The charge is for assaulting the person. You may be well charged for assaulting the purse.—(Laughter.) Mr. Broom—Mr. Thompson's business is the principal business I have.

WATERHOUSE. (FURTHER INTERESTING PARTICULARS.) HUNTINGDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 10. Our local authorities have been unceasing in their exertions to discover, the perpetrators of this atrocious deed, but hitherto without success. Circumstances, however, appear now to be in a train likely to lead to a speedy and complete dis covery. A young man, of abandoned character, belonging to the village, was, a few days since, apprehended on suspicion, and has subsequently undergone several long examinations. He had been drinking in a neighbouring alehouse till one o'clock of the morning on which the murder was committed, and from that time till the even ing of the same day could give no satisfactory or consistent account of himself. At first, he stated that he went to Godmanchester to invite his sister, a married woman, to Stukeley Feast, and that he had spent the day in her house. The sister, on being examined, corroborated this assertion, but her husband has since come for ward, and deposed that the prisoner was not in his house during the whole of the day. Anothei sistei‘of the suspected person was a short time since in the occasional service of Mr. Water house, when the house of the Rev. Gentleman was entered at midnight, and about 31. stolen from his purse, in his own bed-room. The suspicions of Mr. Waterhouse instantly fell upon this young man, and, suspecting his sister to be privy to the robbery, he discharged her from his service. In revenge for this, the prisoner w as after wards heard to - declare that he would murder Mr. W. As the parents of the prisoner also bore a bad character in the village, their house was on Sun day last searched by two of our constables, when property was found not likely to have been honestly obtained by persons in their destitute condition. Though in the weekly receipt of money from the parish, the inmates of this miserable cottage were found to possess six oi seven flitches of bacon, two sacks of peas, &c. They were brought up for examination yesterday. when one of the sons confessed to being con cerned in several robberies in conjunction with his brother, the supposed murderer, and We other fellows who have since absconded. In the cottage was also found, covered with blood, and in some places with grey hairs, a bill, or cleaver, the kind of instrument with which it has al] along been supposed the murder was committed. The bill belongs to a poor man, a lodger in the house, who, after cleaning and sharpening it to prevent rust, deposited it in a cupboard about three months since ; it was found at the back oi the house, in the condition we have described. On minutely examining the clothes of the prisoner, his coat was discovered to be stained with blood inside, though care had been taken to wash it off the exterior. His breeches also ap pear to have been partially washed. It seem; scarcely possible to accumulate more decisive proofs of guilt than the foregoing; but that the case might be fully investigated in every point, application was yesterday made to the Secretor\ of State for the Home Department to secure the assistance of"a Bow-street officer, in consequence of which Ellis.has arrived, and is prosecuting the investigation with his accustomed activity. Foi this wise, and, we hope, conclusive step, the county is indebted to Henry Sweeting, Esq., the solicitor of the deceased, a gentleman highl\ respected by his fellow-townsmen for his hu manity and public spirit. The prisoner, together with his father and mother, a brother and sister, have been remand ed to prison for further examination on Thurs day. Should he escape the capital charge (which seems highly improbable), he will be committed for trial at the ensuing assizes, on four distinct cases of burglary. Mr. 'Waterhouse, the deceased, was a gentle man of eccentric and no very dignified habits, though he at one time offered himself as a can didate for the Mastership of Catherine Hall Cambridge, of which College he was the oldest remaining Bachelor of Divinity. He was fo) many years a Fellow of Catherine Hall, and dis charged, with credit to himself, various office; connected with the University, such as proctor ; taxer, &c. His latter years presented a wofti contrast to the honourable, scenes amongst which his youth and manhood were spent, and furnish ample matter for reflection to those who love ti. study the various phases and aberrations of hu man nature. For the last 20 or 30 years of hip life, the Rev. Gentleman might be considered a! no bad representative of a certain class of the English clergy of the last century, who sat su models for the pen of Fielding and other sa tirists, but who are happily now fast disappearing. In dress and manners he was simple as Abraham Adams himself, though it must be confessed, in some parts of his character, he bore a closer re semblance to Parson Trulliber. The land at tached to his rectory at Stukeley, which was worth about 4001. per annum, he retained in his own occupation, and busied himself incessantly, though often very unprofitably, in the manage ment of his rural affairs. As he would seldom pay his labourers the wages usually given in the parish, his ground remained uncultivated if work was to be obtained elsewhere, and last year be had not completed his hay-harvest till consi derably after Michaelmas. The large and ele gant rectory-house he converted into a sort of granary for his long-hoarded grain ; and at one time loads of corn, sacks of wool, and bushels of fruit, the produce of his farm and orchards, might be seen in rooms decorated with Turkey carpets, and the other insignia of refined society. Con sistent with this plan of utility, in utter contempt of taste and ornament, Mr. AVaterhouse had nearly all the windows of his house blocked up; to save the payment of the window-tax. Out of twenty in front, two only were suffered to re main. He lived constantly in the kitchen, with. out any regular female domestic, and performed the office of cook for himself and workmen.— Every Saturday the Rev. Gentleman walked to Huntingdon market, a distance of between three and four miles, frequently driving his pigs before him ;: and after transacting his farmime business, he used to carry home, in a basket, his tea and sugar, and other necessaries for the week. — If Mr. Waterhouse's habits were such as are not often found amongst the clergy, his dress was equally uncanonical. A coarse blue great coat, with metal buttons, corduroy breeches, and light grey stockings, formed his usual costume. The following passage in the life of this singular cler gyman is worthy the pencil of Cruikshank. He had a strong, insuperable aversion to beggars of all descriptions, and as, in most small villages, the domicile of the Pa.C7' 7.'; only inferior in im portance to the mansion of the 'Squire, numbers of these itinerants contrived to way-lay the path of the Rector of Stukeley ; of course they were alWays repulsed with scorn and indignation ; and not unfrequently veteran tars and soldiers might be seen at his gate shouldering their crutches, not to show how fields were won, but to attempt the achievement of fresh victaries.— One Sunday, while performing divine ser 7 vice, the Rector perceived from a window in the Church, a sturdy mendicant prowling about his grounds; whom he instantly de termined to remove In the most prompt and efficacious manner. Waiting for an oppor tune moment, the Rev. Gentleman descended. from the desk after prayers, as the clerk was giving out the Psalm, and throwing off his sur plice at the church door, he attacked the grace less intruder, and fairly thrashed him off ;he pre mises. Having performed this feat, Mr. Watef house quietly re-entered the church, at the con clusion of the psalm, and proceeded to read the lesSons of the day. In one point the Rector of Stuaeley was a careful shepherd of his flock ; he would not suffer any of his parishioners to appear in church dressed in a smock-frock, the usual garb of our agricultural labourers; and if a ; - apless rustic chanced to drop in, arrayed in the prohibited toga, lie was instantly ordered by the pastor to quit the church ! Amongst the most amiable of the peculiarities which marked the wayward, ill-regulated mind of Mr. Waterhouse, may brs reckoned a peculiar fondness for the company sad amusements of children, which contrasted strangely with his usually selfish, violent, and even - morose temper. He delighted also in teas ing and frightening. his poor uncouth farm-boys, and it is perhaps to his indulging in this propen sity that the death of the Rev. Gentleman may be indirectly attributed. After the perpetration of the sanguinary deed. he was first discovered by two of these boys, lying in a mash-tub, groan ing deeply, with his legs hanging over the side of the vessel. The boys immediately quitted the house, and acquainted a neighbour with the cir cumstance, when they were answered that their master only did it on purpose to fi igliten them. Screams were also heard issuing from the house, but from the singular character of the deceased, or from culpable negligence, they were in .like manner disregarded. Assistance at this moment might have saved the life of the unhappy man, and prevented the full accomplishment of a crime which can only be paralleled in atrocity by the kindred horrors of the murder of Weare. LOVE AND MADNESS. Tuesday, a fashionably-dressed female, residing in Great Ormond-street, Blooinsbury, applied to the. Magistrate at Hatton-gardet: for a marrant against a person living in May Fair, who had threatened her life. She said, that the individual of Whom she complained had paid his addresses to her for up -4 wards of three years, when, for certain reasons, she broke off the match, and lrul &dined to see him again. He, however, wrote such pressing letters to her, requesting an interview, for the purpose of en tering into an explanation, that she consented to meet him in the neighbourhourhooil of Russell-square, and finding she was still determined not to be his wife, he drew a pistol from his breast, and swore he would murder her, unless she gave him the promise of her hand in marriage. Frightened almost to death, she held out favourable hopes to him, and promised to meet him on a future day; but, as she had not fulfilled her promise, she had received several letters from him, requesting an interview. 11cr admirer. !lowever, finding all his attempts to prirure a meet ing fruitless, had sent her a letter, assuring her that he would take her life on the first opportunity, al though knowing, as he said, that his own would be forfeited in consequence. He , i'sclaimed any feeling of anger or - vengeance tows d a her; but said he could not bear the idea of another possessing her whom he adored. Since she received that letter, he was constantly parading up and down the street in which she resided, with a pistol in his hand; and she was fearful that she should fall a sacrifice to his violence. Mr. Laing said that enough had been stated, and instantly granted a warrant for the ap, prehension of the individual complained of. MARCH OF TILE BRITISH .TROOPS FROM LISBON. I was present at the departure of our ti oops from. Lisbon for the interior. At break of day the guards left their barrack at Belem, oa the road to Villa Franca. The sun shone deceitfully at starting, but before they were four miles away, down came the rain, and our poor fellows were as drencheki as water rats. The fatigue of marching in this country bad enough (on roads of great coarse pavement, in some places broken up in pit fulls, in others ground into clay; here broad enough fora score of waggons, then narrowed to the space of a tax-cart) in tine weather, but when the rain sets in, it must be the deuce itself. A soldier has his musket, !znapsack, great-coat, wine can, and provision wallet, with rations for three days, to carry. His wife is ,till more to be pitied. I am told that tie few who are allowed to follow the army will have to march on foot the entire road, unless the husband can afford to hire a horse or mule. _ _ _ The baggage is principally carried on mules' barks. Some heavy chests are loaded on bullock carts., ha that operation is so slow and - inefficient, and the roads are in places almost impassable to them, that even this clumsy conveyance is dispensed witl, The mules are certain ; they will walk you down a quarry, or trot you over a mountain—give them their own way, and they seem to understand the business much bett:r than you do. Each mule car ries a panier, like cross trees, on which the baggage is placed, not exceeding 300Ibs. weight, a tarpaulin is thrown over to keep off the rain, and the whole made secure with - rude leathern straps, which go tur".er the mule's belly, and over the tarpaulin. Following the army, you see some hundreds of them, one man guiding three, and a chief of brigade, as he is Galled, having the command of five and-thirty. The infantry officers have the privilege of riding on horseback on the march,' if they CM afford to purchase mules and horses, which the sons of wealthy fathers, who now fill the army, have of course no difficulty in doing. Some of these cattle are about as big as full-grown cats; a tall Liente nant looks most engaging with pistol-holsters before of oar Noble the saddle, a small valise, and his great-coat stra pped upon it behind, with harre-sacks for his ration s dangling at each side. The Officer has a protec tion from weather in his large mil itar y cloak, which, covers man, mule, and ma teriel. But, notwith standing sb u t i t s er p n o s rm ar b e l portabl e alreadyar -n tired of fear-not, I fancy some campaigning. t il li l Iu lci cl:. 1 l r diocese.ese lt ---- . ing visitations an experienced Thursday at CI on • iester disappointment was tl • I where about one thousand young persons were Chester le-Street, for c onfirmation, his Lordship not being able to assembled . attend from indisposition.
