Nothing of any particular importance trans pired in the debates last night. The tax on steam-boats, we are glad to find, is to be aban doned ; some new regulations are to be enforced with respect to cabriolets and hackney coaches—which at present are regulated on an unjust system of monopoly ; the clause in the Irish Bill for punishing with transportation th e possession of unregistered arms is to be with drawn ; and the English Reform Bill is to be gone through before those for Scotland and Ire land are commenced. There is no fresh intelligence of any moment from the theatre of war in Poland. A work styling itself a " History of Poland," and forming the twentieth volume of " LARD MR'S Cabinet Cyclopedia," has just made its appearance. Whether or not Dr. L A RDNER has seen this precious affair we cannot say, but if he have, most assuredly he is much to blame in having allowed its publication. In point of style it is a mere confused mass of rubbish, in point of matter still more objectionable. A more odious, uncharitable spirit than pervades it, we never yet met with in any work aspiring to the dignity of a history. The Russians are everywhere exalted at the expense of the Poles, and where the conduct of the former is so glaring as to forbid even an approach to praise, it is adroitly softened down, or kept in the back ground. The author seems to be aware that his readers will detect this perverse spirit, and has accordingly alluded to it in a dull preface, Which however only makes the matter a thou sand times worse. While he allows that the Poles have exhibited great courage and forbear- ance during the present struggle, he insists per , tinaciously on the humanity of the Russian EMPEROR, forgetting, or having probably never read, his infamous manifestos, every line of which seems to have been written in blood, and inspired by blasphemy. He insists also that the CZAR'S humane orders to his Generals have been in the main obeyed, " whatever isolated instances of their infraction, possibly exaggerated by a partial Press, have been adduced." Pray how did this scribe acquire his knowledge of NICHOLAS'S humanity except from the Press, at least from that tainted portion of it which proceeds from 'Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburgh ? But to I praise the humanity of the EMPEROR, and the meek forbearance of his hordes, is, we presume, no proof of " partiality." Here, at least, the Press is immaculate ; it is " partial" only when it speaks of the Russians as they deserve to be spoken of; when it exposes their wolfish spirit ; their reckless, cold-blooded atrocities ; their indiscriminate, fiendish treatment of every age and either sex ; of the son and the Sire, the mother and the daughter, the helpless infant and the grey-haired dotard. To expose conduct like this is, in the author's opinion, a flagrant proof of partiality on the part of the Press ; wherefore he will only pin his faith on the Berlin, Vienna, and St. Petersburgh Gazettes, which must of necessity be impartial, because they are fully awake to the manifold virtues of the CZAR, and his mild, enlightened Cabinet.— Again, we are assured that " Europe does not contain a Sovereign more averse to opposition and cruelty than NICHOLAS ; not one more disposed to better the condition of all his people. Throughout hi s connection w i th P o l an d h e h as omitted no opportunity of confirming the pros perity of th e country.

Was ever such a monstrous as sertion heard of? But this is not all. The author winds up his preface by sneering indi rectly at all attempts on the part of entrammelled nations to regain their independence, and doubt ing whether " liberal institutions are not too dearly purchased by the sacrifices some times made for them." So because sacri fices must sometimes be made for liberal in stitutions, therefore such institutions are much to be lamented and diligently to be avoided ! Reasoning like this, however it may be adapted to the taste of Ultras at Vienna or St. Petersburgh, is an insult to the good sense of Englishmen. It is abhorrent to the genius of their free institutions,• to their shrewd, manly habits of thought and action. We wonder that a man of talent and enterprize like Dr. LARDNER could have allowed such a history to form part of a Cyclopxdia, which aims at popularity, by rightly appreci ating, and advancing with, the character and spirit of the age. We question whether, even among the most Ultra of our Ultras there will be found a single individual to approve it. It is too bigotted for bigotry itself. Not even Lord ELDON himself, with all his reverence for " the right divine of Kings to govern wrong," would countenance the doctrines it upholds'. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

On Friday evening, Mr. Wm John O'Connell reached Tralee from Killarney, to deliver a message on the part of his friend and relative, Daniel O'Con nell, Esq., second son of Captain O'Connell. It appears that the adverse party, Thomas Trant,Esq. of Dingle, had used strong language towards the other. Mr. William John O'Connell was referred by Mr. Trant to James Magill, Esq., who appointed Oakpark, near Tralee, as the place of meeting. Mr. Magill, however, being informed that the police were on the alert, called on Mr. William John O'Connell that night at eleven o'clock, for the permission to change the ground, to which he immediately consented. The ground now cho sen was Lower Cannon, in an opposite direc tion from Oakpark, where the parties were to de termine their quarrel at five next morning. They met accordingly ; but were chased by the police, horse and foot. Mr. Trant was arrested, but the Messrs. O'Connell escaped, after a run of two miles and a half across a marshy country. Mr. William John O'Connell, returning by a short route, pro ceeded to Abbeyfeale Bridge, in order that the affair should terminate in the county of Limerick. Here he was arrested by a Magistrate, and having given bail, advanced beyond Abbeyfeale Bridge, when both gentlemen were at length placed on their ground. The first shot being exchanged, Sandford Thomson, Esq., of Castle Island, the friend of Mr. Trans, asked Mr. O'Connell if they were satisfied ? He answered " Certainly not." A second pistol was then handed, and discharged ; and Mr. Thompson again inquired if the Messieurs O'Con nell were satisfied. Mr. W.J. O'Connell said, " Cer tainly not ;" at the same time placing a third loaded pistol in the hands of his friend. Mr. Thompson remonstrated upon thi s; b ut M r. O ' Connell ' s reply was, " I will keep my friend on the ground until to-morrow if a hit do not take place, or you make an apology; and although I admit it is optional with you to remove your princip a l, I h ave no not i on of removing mine. Mr. Thompson hereupon removed his friend, and thus the matter terminated, without any recorw,iliation taking place. This is, we learn, the third affair these gentlemen have had, for two of which Mr. Trant made apologies. Tuesday a division of the King's D ragoon Guards marched from Milt° wn Malbay, couaty of Cl are , to Dublin. This movement sustains the impression that tranquillity is progressing in this county.— Limerick Post. --- The whole of the morning the road leading to Greenwich was thronged with people, waiting to see his MAJESTY and royal suite proceed to Greenwich to view the Hospital. his MAJESTY was expected there about tbree o'clock. STATUE TO MAJOR CARTWRIGHT.—The 20th of July is fixed for a ceremony of erecting the statue of Major CARTWRIGHT in front of the house in Burton crescent, where the original breathed his last. An " Adventurer" has eloped with a young lady, which has excited an extraordinary sensation in high life. We decline further particulars at present..... Mor ning Paper. ogNcE Oki§ . 15A‘ % LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS .) COURT OF CHANCERY. • IN THE MATTER OF HURST AND CO., BADSRUPTB. This matter stood to be disposed of on the subject of costs, but his Lordship was unable to get rid of it this morning, in consequence of not being able at the moment to refer to a note he had made at the time the matter way argued. IN THE MATTER OF DILWORTH, A BANKRUPT. This also stood for a decision as to the costs. His Lord. ship said he had consulted with his Honour, from whom the matter had come on an appeal, and on the whole, hav ing confirmed his Honour's decision on the main question. he felt bound to give costs against the petitioner, both of the original and supplemental petitions. The SOLICITOR_GENER A L, Mr. RosE, and Mr. MoN TAGUE, endeavoured to resist this decision. They said, the ground on which his Lordship hail decided the princi pal question in the bankruptcy was not that ground on which the Vice-Chancellor had proceeded. His LORDSHIP considered the point as far as it regarded special pleading clear as A. B. C. He bad consulted the Common-law Judges upon it, who entirely concurred in his view of it; therefore, the parties ought not to have appealed ; Counsel ought not to have advised them to ap peal, when they must, or ought to have been, aware that the judgment below was right, though it even might have been formed upon wrong reasoning. A wrong reason for a right judgment was not to be considered as a ground of appeal. _ AIONTAGUE said he valued one word stated in open Court by a Learned Judge, more than a thousand that might pass between such high characters in private and out of Court. So far from this being a clear point on the special pleading, he had gone both into the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas for information, and the result of his researches was this—that Mr. Pollock had told him one thing, and Mr. Serjeant Wilde another ; that Mr. Justice Alderson had stated one fact in confir- (nation of Mr. Pollock's opinion, and Mr. Blake one in confirmation of Mr. Serjeant Wilde's. The LORD CHANCELLOR :observed that he could not now alter his opinion ; he had formed his judgment after considerable doubt, but it was necessary there should be an end to the thing sometime. ROLLS COURT. His Honour the INIAsTER of the ROLLS took causes to day, none of which, up to the period of our reporter leaving, possessed the slightest public interest. VICE- CHANCELL OR' S COURT. The VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied till our reporter left with arguments i❑ the case of Douglass and Russell, which possessed no point of interest except to the parties. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in hearing cases possessing no public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Nothing interesting to the public came before the Court up to the time we went to press. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) This morning these Sessions were held before F. CONST, Esq. and a bench of Magistrates. James Edgeware, a coachman in the service of Sir Wm. Rawlins, was indicted for assaulting Benjamin Etchills, a police constable. The prosecutor stated, that nn the 21st June, when his Majesty went to the House of Lords, be was on duty near the Horse Guards. The defendant was driving a cur ricle alone, when he placed his horses across the line of carriages ; witness went up to make him go forward, when he struck witness several blows very violently with the butt end of the whip. He was then taken into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS--There was no thing said about going through the Horse Guards, but the horses' heads were turned that way. Tl,e defendant did not draw back to allow a hackney coach to get into the line. The defendant was kept in custody until ten o'clock at night, when his master gave bail ior him. There were hundreds of persons present, but he had only brought one witness, who was also a policeman. He had the marks of the blows on his arm still. Mr. PHILLIPS—I do not deny you were struck, but not until you deserved it—were you not thrashed that:tnorn ing before this occurrence? Prosecutor —.4 was not ; but I hai a blow on the nose by some person before.—(A laugh.) Another policeman (who had been out of Court during the examination of the prosecutor) gave a different story, stating that the defendant endeavoured to go through the Horse Guards, and swore he mould go through, and that his attempting to force his way was the cause of the prosecutor's stopping him, upo❑ which the defendant assaulted the prosecutor. Mr. C. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for the defend ant, and remarked strongly upon the discrepancy of the evidence. He would, however, give a very different com plexion to the affair by proving that the police unneces sarily, and while the defendant was quietly proceeding in the ranks, seized the horse's bead, dragg e d him out of the curricle, for allowing a hackney coach to enter the ranks, and carried him off to the atation•house. Several witnesses deposed that the defendant was pro ceeding in the line of vehicles, when he drew a little back to allow a coach to enter, upon which a policeman came up and seized the horse's head; that another got into the carriage, dragged him out, and carried him off to the station-house. They all declared that the .con. duct of the defendant was most orderly and peaceable, while that of the policeman was the reverse. The CHAIRMAN was sorry that, in a case which had only policemen to support it, there was such important discrepancy in the evidence. The Jury had, however, heard their testimony, and also the statement of several witnesses for the defendant, and they would give the credit to which side they thought most entitled to it. The Jury acquitted the defendant. The prosecutor, on applying for his expenses, was in formed by the Chairman that the Jury had not believed the charge, and therefore the expences could not be allowed. John Scott was indicted for assaulting John Sanford. It appeared that on the 2.1 of May the prosecutor, who was a shoemaker, and lived in the defendant's house, had occasion to correct his son for something he had done, when the defendant came up stairs, abused him, knocked him down three times, and ultimately dragged him down stairs. The prosecutor was a small, and, apparently, weak man, and the defendant was a powerful-looking man. The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and the Chairman sentenced him to pay a fine of 4/. with liberty to speak to the prosecutor. The defendant declared his inability to pay such a fine, and the Jury, conceiving the penalty to be a very severe one, applied to the Court, on the defendant's behalf, for a mitigation ; after inquiring what expence the prosecutor had been put to, the Chairman desired the defendant to pay the prosecutor 20s. and then to be discharged.

HULL, JUt.X 7.—The Cambridge, Hindhaugh, from Riga, on entering the lock of the Humber Dock yesterday, two sloops with bale goods passing in at the same time, and the ebb falling rapidly, the three vessels got jammed together. The sloops are so much injured as to be acarcely worth repairing; the cargoes landed partly in a damaged state. The Cambridge has not sustained much injury, and is now in the old dock. The Wilson, Pope, frcm Riga, on entering the old harbour, grounded, and heeled very considerably, but was righted on the food, and is now in the Humber Dock ; it is hoped without much damage. Mr. GRATTAN'S new work, " Jacqueline of Holland" introduces us to " fresh fields and pastures new." The ground has been quite untrodden. It has been well observed of the present production, that " it is one of those romances which combine the best interests of fiction and reality, its inventions are full of vigorous truths—its records of romantic association. We could alternately fancy ourselves engaged by the graphic Chronicles of Monstrelet, and by one of those miraculous tales cha racteristic of the great master of the historical novel. Mr. GRATTAN, possesses, indeed, all the learning anti research of Mr JAMES, combined with a vivacity of mind and keen perception of the picturesque, peculiarly his own." DINER OF TIE EAST INDIA COMPANY TO RAMMOHUN ROY. On Wednesday a dinner was given at the City of Londe,: Tavern, by the Hon. the East India Company, to the ce lebrated Rammohun Roy. About eighty sat down to very sumptuous entertainment. It was what is called a family dinner, in co ntradistinction to the grand feast give' upon the eve of the departure of a Governor fur India. The Chairman of the East India Company presided, and the Deputy Chairman filled the opposite chair. Lord Cit ledon sat on the right, and Rammohun Roy on the left of the Chairman. After the usual loyal toasts were drunk, the CHAIRMAN rose to propose the health of Rammohun Roy. The re ception which the celebrated foreigner had met with, would, it was to be hoped, influence other able and influ ential members of the Eastern community to visit England. RAMMOHUN Roy rose, and in a very graceful manner addressed the company. That day was, he said, one to which he had looked forward with the greatest degree of expectation. It rejoiced him to be seated amongst a bud) .of gentlemen, who had, with match humanity an d ki n d_ ness, carried on the government of India. Before the pe riod at which India had become tributary to Great Britain, it was the scene of the most frequent and bloody conflicts. In the various provinces of the Eastern dominions nothing was to be seen but plunder and devastation; there was no security for property orfosrlriefees of discord until,b were ythe in checked,terference of this country, the great sources education was advanced, and the example of the British system of dominion had a conciliating effect upon tile na tions of the East. Rammohun Roy sat down, after having. by the above little effusion, which was delivered in a vet v impressive manner, gained the admiration of the whole company. He then proposed the bealths of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the East India Company. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and proposed the health of Lord Caledon. . . Lord CALEDON returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Chair man of the Board of Controul. Sir J. ?I'DoNNEr.L regretted much that Mr. Grant was prevented by indisposition from attending, as that Hon. Gentleman was most anxious to meet their distinguished guest. Amongst the company were Sir John Malcolm, Sir H. Douglas, Sir R. Ferguson, Sir Peter Laurie, &c. The healths of the,e gentlemen were drunk, and the company retired about ten o'clock. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. Captain and Mrs. Knox, in Regent-street, from Cheltenham ; Sir C.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 9. THE RE Y. MR. GURNEY. Among the persons who yesterday applied to this Court to be discharged under the Act for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, was the Rev. Mr. Gurney, Rector of St. Cle ment Danes, whose debts amounted to 4,728/. Mr. Coors appeared for the Rev. Insolvent, who was not opposed by any of his creditors, either personally or by Counsel. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS, after looking over the schedule, proceeded to examine the insolvent; and in reply to his questions he said that he was Rector of St. Clement D Ines. His income from the parish as Rector was about 6001. per annum. He had, besides this, 401. a year as Evening Lecturer ; and 251. for attending at the work house. The whole of the furniture in his house belonged tckMiss Margaret Gurney, his daughter. The furniture which had been in his chambers, in Clements Inn, had been seized in execution, but it was subsequently bought in at the sale by a Mr. Sluver (we think he said). His daughter afterwards repaid that gentleman the money for them, and it was restored. His daughter had purchased this as well as the other household furniture with money she had received from her friends, and not from him. Mr. Lloyd, the creditor at whose suit he was arrested, is a baker, and served his family with bread ; his debts amounted to 4,7281. Mr. Coors observed that there was at present lodged at the banking-house of Drummond and Co. 1121., and as the present proceedings on the part of the insolvent were attended with considerable expence, he hoped the Court would award him an allowance out of that sum in order to meet them. The COMMISSIO.NER said that 751. should be hnme eliately paid into Court. Mr. Abbott, a butcher at Brompton, was then ap pointed one of the assiznees. Mr. Cummissioner HARRIS inquired if Mr. Griffis, also a butcher at Brompton, was present, as he saw by the schedule that he was a creditor to the amount of KOOl., for meat supplied to the insolvent and his family ; and he therefore thought he would be a proper person to be ap pointed the other assignee. Mr. Abbott said that Griffis, who was his son-in-law, was not in attendance. Mr. Baker, a grocer, at Kensington, to wham ihe in solvent owed 701., was On, swar.a iu as the second as signee. Mr. Abbott wished to know from the Court what por tion of the inselvent's income it would order for the liqui dation of his debts ? 211 r. COOKE observed, that this was a question the Court could not decide on, as it had no power in the case of a clergyman. The legal mode of proceeding in such cases was for the assignees taking the order of Court to the Bishop of the diocese, and he might require sequestration. The COMM tuaoritEc said, that though the Learned might be r. Counsel .e , ut .n point of law, yet, in point of polioy, it would be better for the insolvent to enter into some arrangement with his creditors, without compelling o, e m to resort to a remedy at law, which would be co ex pensive. Mr. Coosa perfectly acquiesced in the opinion of the Court, and offered 1001. per annum in liquidation of the debts. Mr. Abbott was astonished that out of an income of 7 00 z. per annum so small a sum should ha offered, particu larly as the Tsolvent himself had offered, last year, the whole of his Easter offerings, amounting to 2501., to sat d y his creditors. The Rev. Insolvent admitted that such was the fact ; but, on mature consideration, he feared that if In did so h e must again, and very shortly too, become embarrassed. lie was at present paying large sums for insura nces an d annu ities, which rendered him quite incapable of giving up more than the sum named by his Counsel. The Co uar ulti mate l y d ec i ded that the 75L should be a t once paid into Court, and 1001. per annum afterwards for the benefit of the creditors. The insolvent said that it was his strongest wish that his creditors should ultimately be paid what be owed them. Th e time at which the insolvent's case closed being too l a t e to pay the money into Court, and obtain his dis charge, he was ordered by the Commissioner to be brought up on the following (this) morning, when be will be Jibe ratv(l, • I 5 h. V , CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO POISON A JURY. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that in December last a staternen• appeared in the news papers, giving an account of al. attempt made by some person or persons to priison a Coroner's Jury, which held an inquest on the bodies of three individuals who died at Woolwich. The Jury, it appeared, after their duties ter minated, on the 22d of December, sat down to 1. dinner of beefsteak*, prepared for them at do sign of the Earl of Chatham's Arms, Thomas-street. Woolwich. Soon after the repast was over, the whole of them, consisting of fourteen persons, we. e seized with violent sickness, particularly those who had partaken plentifully of the beefsteaks. Some were confined to their houses several days, and two or three out of the number have not yet recovered from the effects of the deleterious substance intro duced into their food on the occasion. A short titnt after it had occurred, a rigid inquiry was instituted (It having been ascertained that a mineral poison, called tartarized antimony, was the ingredez,t mixed with the meat), for the purpose of discovering the person or persons implicated it. the outrage, and the result of the inquiry did no. lead to fixing the crime on any parties, although two or three were suspected. Amongst against whom suspicion was entertained, was a man named James Lowe, a butcher, residing at Wool wich. After an interval of some considerable time, he voluntarily offered to divulge some important facts connected with the affair, and, in fact, W.; make some disclosures to a Magistrate% of the .1.- vision, implicating two respectable tradMren, named Campion, resident in the town. Owing to th? cir cumstances above stated, yesterday a further inquiry took place into the affair, at the King's Arias, Woolwich. There were several of the Magistrates belonging to the division present during the investi gation. Mr. Carttar, the Coroner for Kent, who presided at the inquest, was also in attendance, to render his assistance in tracing the suspected parties. The first witness examined was a young mat., named Parkes, shopman to a chemist at 'Woolwich, whose evidence went to prove that James Lowe had called at the shop on the day in question, and asked for sixpennyworth of tartar emetic ; that quantity, however, was not furnished him, the shop man making him up threepennyworth of the article, and writing " poison" on the outside. A Juror who .had not partaken of the beef-steaks the day on which his brother Jurors dined together, stated that he saw James Lowe and a man named Campion coming out of the kitchen at the Cha , ham Arms while the beef-steaks were frying. Ann Kirkwood, servant at the Chatham Arm-, stated that she dressed the steaks for the gentle men who were poisoned, but who had since re covered. She saw no person approach the pan while she was frying the steaks, which she left in the kitchen while she was spreading the table-clo , ll above stairs. Witness gave her mother some poi tion of the s'eaks after the Jury had dined, and she was taken violently ill—and in allusion to her sick ness she said that she knew she was struck with death. The witness added that her mother had since died, but could not pretend to say that her decease was owing to the meat she had partaken on the day in question. James Lowe, the informant was then sworn, arid he deposed as follows :—" I live in Waterman's. fields, Woolwich. On the day the Jury sat on the three bodies, at the sign of the Chatham Arms, I was standing at the door of that house between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, and while there Mr. William and Mr. F. Campion came to me from the kitchen, and asked me to walk in and look at the steaks to see whether they were rump steaks or beefsteaks. The steaks were then in a dish on the dresser not cooked, and after I had given my opinion, I went out of the kitchen, leaving both the Campions behind me. In some time after, I think about an hour,Wm.Campion came to me at the end of Thomas-street, and asked me to purchase six penny worth of tartar emetic for him. E.Cumpion gave me the money. Informant went to a chemist's shop at Green's-end, and having asked the shopman for six pennyworth of the article, he refused to sell such a quantity, but ultimately let him have threepenny worth. I then, said informant, went back and gave the article to William Campion, and I saw him and his brother Edward go into the Earl of Chat ham. I did not see them till night." By Sir JOHN WEBB—Edward and William Cam pion afterwards desired me not to " burst," mean ing that I was not to divulge that I had purchased the tartar emetic for them ; but they never told me to what use they had applied it. Was a journeyman in the employ of Mr. William Campion, but had left him since the poisoning affair occurred. Sir JOHN WEBi3—What induced you to quit his service ; did you leave of your own accord, or were you discharged for theft ?—The informant Lowe, in reply to this question, at first declared that he had left Mr. Campion's service of his own accord, but almost in the same breath admitted that he had made free w;th an old wheel of his employer's, which he (Lowe) sold, and for which theft he was discharged. In reply to Mr. CARTTAR, tlie informant said that he never stated to any person that he would " blow the gaff" if the Campions did not remunerate him for keeping the circumstance of the antimony a secret, The Magistrates all agreed in the opinion that it was necessary to be most cautious how the evidence of such a man should bc received, after the contra dictory evidence he had given in his testimony ; and without there were more witnesses brought forwud to corroborate his statement, such information as he had now given could not be used aguinst the indi viduals whom he implicate;. Mr. Carttar had rc. Further evidence to produce that day, and iey:ested that the inquiry might be postpop,ed until Friday, which was agreed to, and summonses were directed to be issued against Ed ward and William Campion, to compel their attend ance on that day, A letter signed "A Looker-on," on the sub ject of dividing counties according to the Reform Bill now before Parliament, requires attent'on. The same subject has allea•ly been taken ut) by two new county Members, Messrs. PAGET and S'iIIICRLAND. We certainly are not friendly the clause :we are sure that it must Ile macted with much caution, and that it will not st,it very gene rally. It would be very possible sp, to divide a county, that local interests would carry the Member for every por tion : that is, a county in which generally no single rest could prevail, might really be cut into thro close bo roughs, in each of which a great fariy might return its own man. In fact, th,e divi.-,„im of counties will be useful for the purpose of as economical collection of votes, but can, as far at we see, tend to no useful result, if enl,toyed as a mode of procuring separate Members i . e.; separate districts.— Times.

Navagorod. " Here, at Cionstrult, and the neighl ouring country, perfect health prevails." DORMANT PEERAGE. (From a well-informed Correspondent.) Pretensions, real and fictitious, have of late sprung up for dormant titles, and the ancient barony of Beriers is one supposed to be in the family of the Knyvetts. The late Mr. Knyvett, of musical notoriety, is descended from an ancient (and, according to heraldic terms, from a knightly) family in Nor folk. He betrayed, from a child, such an ar dent love for music, that his family were unable to restrain him from pursuing it professionally. His successful career is so generally known as to preclude any further comment ; but we are led to give publicity to some further account of this eminent musician, as containing some in. teresting events in the history of former reigns, when the Knyvetts were distinguished, not only by rank, but by the high situations they filled in the State. " The pedigree of Mr. Knyvett proves his descent from Othomarus Dunnevit, afterwards De Knevet, and lastly, according to analogy of change in other English names, Knyvett, a na tive noble of England, at the time of the'Norman conquest, the success of which occasioned him (as having joined Harold's standard) the loss of Launceston-castle, and other possessions in Cornwall. Upon his marriage, however, with a daughter of one of the Normans, his estates were restored, and the descendants continued in cre dit in succeeding reigns. When John Knyvett became Chancellor of England, the Knyvett family became considerably aggrandized and en riched by intermarrying with the Bourchiers,— enriched, for Jane Bourchier inherited large pos sessions in Norfolk,—aggrandized, for her mother was daughter of Jahn Howard, Duke of Norfolk, and her great grandfather was son of Lori Lovaine and Earl of Eu, in Normandy, by Anne, only daughter and heir of Thomas Plantagenet, Duke of Gloucester, youngest son of Edward 111. Thus the royal coat was added to the armorial bearings, and it forms, together with 110 other devices of distinguished families, a monument of the great dignity of this ancestry. Camden, in his description of Norfolk, thus speaks of them The antient and renown'd house of the Knyvetts flourished in this county ever since Sir John Knyvett was Chancellor of England, and has very much branched itself out by honourable marriages ; for besides them of Buckenham, those famous knights Sir Henry Knyvet of Wiltshire, and Sir Tho' Knyvet of Ashwelthorpe, are descended thence.' " The eminent state services of the Knyvetts are thus recorded in the reign of Henry VIII.: —" Sir Thomas Knyvet, Master of the Horse and an Admiral, distinguished himself in a naval engagement, and was blown up in the conflict. In the reign of James 1., a Sir Thomas Kny_ vet was deputed to search the cellars under the Parliament House, and having apprehended Guy Foulkes, and being otherwise in favour with King James, he was created Baron Knyvet, of Escriek, in Yorkshire. And further, as a peculiar remark of the Royal favour, was en trusted with the care of one of the King's daugh ters, who died in his house. Sir Thomas Kny. vet, of Ashwelthorpe, also manfully opposed the usurper Cromwell.' The present Mr. Knyvett's ancestor was band• somely provided for in his mother's will, and his descendants resided at Funden-hall, in Nor folk, adjoining the Barons Berners. The son of this individual was organist and composer to his Majesty George 111. This situation is now filled by the younger son, Mr. William Knyvett, whose talents as a musician rank him in the highest class of the profession ; the elder son, Mr. Charles Knyvett, retired from the profession at bis father's death. Ho resii!tes near Reading, in Berkshire, and by lined!, descent is the repre sentative of this ancier',, family. We subjoin a paragraph th a t appear e d i n t h e John Dua st.',lne some time back, alluding to the barony Berners, and also an extract from Mr. Miller's Biographical Sketch of Eminent Artists. The sketch of the musician proves that Mr. Miller is not deficient in observation or know lodge of the world. From the John Bull.—" Our readers generally know that the ancient Barony of Berners is sup posed to be in the family of Knyvett, so well known and so universally popular in the musical world, although Mr. Charles Knyvett, the elder brother, has declined proceeding to establish his claim. Lord Stradbroke has now resolved on preferring his right to this ancient honour, upon the ground that he is the lineal descendant of Sir John Rous, who married a daughter of Sir Thomas Knyvett in 1656. His Lordship alleg ing that the Rnyvett's family became extinct in the vear 1773, it will now b ecome necessary for the knyvetts, if they see sufficient reason, to maintain their claims, since very considerable property in Norfolk and Suffolk appertains to the title," tom Mr. Miller's Biographical Sketch.— " Charles Knyvett, born 1752, died January 13, 1822. This respectable musician was long known in the extensive circle of that elegant, fashionable, and fascinating science; his pro fessional talents, gentlemanly manners, good understanding, correct conduct, and social -qua hues, made his soci e ty courted by families of the €44 rank ; and he passed much of his leisure time at the country seats of the nobility, where he was always an acceptable visiter. Music and painting are the two sciences which find easiest access to the drawing-rooms in high life. The talents requisite to shine in those arts, when displayed, always procure an entre, but some thing more is wanting permanently to preserve the footing which skill and ability have acquired. The clear knowledge of the marked pride ,inse parably allied to high birth (and the sliOtest.: penetration will soon discover it), by which you are taught to feel the wide distinction between rank and talent, makes it difficult for the scien tific man to know his exact station.' Au easy, but unpresuming, address, both in language anti manner, is requisite; but the tact, the great art, to acquire, is to know how far to go, and 'the exact point to stop at,—knowledge of the most useful kind in every station of life, but the most difficult to learn," t-'• rf
