MAGAZINE DAX,t,i:,, NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Mr. Campbell's " Third Letter to the Students of Glasgow," is the best article in the present Number, and gives an elaborate but just account of the character of the Athenian Sophists. We think he rather overrates Isocrates, when he talks of his ennobling moral maxims, and the grandeur of his political principles." Isocrates —it is some years since we perused him—is (if we remember rightly) chiefly remarkable for his ethics ; a body of which he strung together at random, and addressed as an epistle to some philosophic friend. These ethics, however exemplary in moral, have one leading defect— the want of character : they are tame and insipid (with one solitary valuable exception) and pretty nearly as common place as Blair's Sermons; or even the Critical Lectures of that much over rated writer. To the accomplished orator, Lysias, Mr. Campbell has barely done justice. The " Sketches of the Irish Bar, No. XVI., Lord Norbury," is not so good in matter as one upon the same subject, which appbared some time since in the Monthly Magazine. The style, however, is superior—" materiem superat opus." Mr. Came's Letters from the Levant, the subject of which in the present number is " Laodicea," is chiefly characterized by its per fect acquaintance with the East. We know no one but the author of that magnificent fiction, Anastasius, who could describe so well from personal knowledge of his subject. The follow ing from the analysis of " Norbury," gives an entertaining account of an Irish Court of Common Pleas : Long before Lord Norbury took his seat, the galleries were densely filled with faces strangely expressive of idle ness, haggardness, and humour. At about eleven his Lordship's registrar, Mr. Peter Jackson, used to slide in with au official leer; and a little after Lord Norbury en tered with a grotesque waddle, and, having bowed to the Bar, cast his eyes round the Court. Perceiving a full house, an obvious expression of satisfaction pervaded his countenance ; and if he saw any of his acquaintance of a noble family, such as John Claudius Beresford, who had a good deal of time on his hands, in the crowd, he ordered the tipstaff to make way for him, and in order, I presume, to add to the dignity of the proceedings, placed him be side himself on the bench. While the jury were swear ing, he either nodded familiarly to most of them, occa sionally oserving " A most respectable man ;" or, if the above-mentioned celebrated member of the house of Cur raghmore chanced to be next him, was engaged in so plea sant a vein of whispering, that it was conjectured, from the heartiness of his laugh, that he must have been talking of the recreations of the Riding-house, and the amusements of 1798. The junior Counsel having opened the pleadings Lord Norbury generally exclaimed " A very promising young man ! Jackson, what is that young gentleman's name?" " Mr. --, my Lord." " What, of the County of Cork ?—I knew it by his air. Sir, you are a gentleman of very high pretensions, and I protest that I have never heard the many counts stated in a more digni fied manner i❑ all my life : I hope I shall find you, like the paper before me, a Daily Freeman in my Court." Having despatched the junior, whom he was sure to make the luckless, but sometimes not inappropriate victim of his en comiums, he suffered the leading Counsel to proceed. As he was considered to have a strong bias towards the plain tiff, experimental attornies brought into the Common Pleas the very worst and most discreditable adventures in litiga tion. The statement of the case, therefore, generally dis closed some paltry ground of action, which, however, did not prevent his Lordship from exclaiming, in the outset, " A very inwortaut action indeed ! If you make out your facts in evidence, Mr. Wallace, there will be serious matter for the Jury." The evidence was then produced ; and the witnesses often consisted of wretches vomited out of stews and cellars, whose emaciated and discoloured countenances showed their want and their depravity, while their watch ful and working eyes intimated that mixture of sagacity and humour by which the lower order of Irish attestators is distinguished. They generally appeared in coats and breeches, the external decency of which, as they were hired fix• the occasion, was ludicrously contrasted with the ragged and filthy shirt, which 11.1 r. Henry Deane Grady, who was well acquainted with " the inner man" of an Irish witness, though not without repeated injunctions to unbutton, at last compelled them to discicse. The cross examinations of this gentleman were admirable pieces of the most serviceable and dexterous extravagance. He was the Scarron of the Bar ; and few of the most practised and skilful of the horde of perjurers whom he was employed to encounter, could successfully withstand the exceedingly droll and comical scrutiny through which he forced them to pass. He had a sort of " Hail, fellow, well met !" manner with every varlet, which enabled him to get into his heart and core, until he had completely turned him inside out, and excited such a spirit of mirth, that the knave whom he was uncovering could net help joining in the merriment which the detection of his villainy had produced. Lord Norbury, however, when he saw Mi. Grady pushing the plaintiff to extremities, used to come to his aid, and rally the broken recollections of the 7.1::; interposition called the dekndan's Counsel into stronger action, and they *ere as vigorously encoun tered by the Counsel on the other side. Interruption created remonstrance ; remonstrance called forth retort; retort generated sarcasm ; and at length voices were raised so loud, and the blood of the forensic combatants was so warmed, that a general scene of confusion, to which Lord Norbury most amply contributed, took place. The uproar gradually increased till it became tremendous; and, to add to the tumult, a question of law, which threw Lord Norbury's faculties into complete chaos, was thrown into the conflict. Mr. Grady and Mr. O'Connell shouted upon one side, Mr. Wallace and M. Gould upon the other ; and at last, Lord the u C u e o u u n n s i e v l e , r sti;hie riot,) t the a N u o d r i b e u p rze: twerehe w involved , iu was difficult to determine whether tha laughter of the au diencc, the exclamations of the partie s, the protestations of theg of L witnesses, ord isie l b ] o o t w v or t b h u e ry er , ie i s )ro o d f o t ro h i e na Co ted r . inse , l 4, , t ever, his Lordship's superiority of lungs prevailed; and, like Eolus in his cavern, (of whom, with his puffed o length, teb cheeks and inflamed visage, he would furnish a painter with a model), he shouted his stormy subjects into peace. These scenes repeatedly occurred during the trial, until at last both parties had, closed, and a new exhibition took place. This was Lord Norhury's monologue, commonly called a charge. He t'sually began by pronouncing the Tattiest encomiums upon the party in the action, against whom he intended to advise the jury t 6 give their verdict. For this the audience were well prepared ; and accordingly. after he had stated that the defendant was one of the most honourable men alive, and that he knew his father, and loved him, he aud&nly came with a most singular empha sis, which he accompanied with a strange shake of his w ig, to the fatal " bat," which made the audience, who wcre in expectation of it, burst into a fit.of laughter, while he proceeded to charge, as he almost uniformly did, in the p l a i n tiff's favour. He then entered more deeply, as he said, into the case, and, flinging his judicial robe half aside, and sometimes casting off his wig, started from his seat, and threw off a wild harangue, in which neither law, me thod, nor argument, - could be discovered. It generally consisted of narrative connected with the history of his early life, which it was impossible to associate with the subject—of jests from Joe Miller, mixed with jokes of his own manufacture, and of sarcastic allusions to any of the Counsel who had endeavoured to check him during the trial. He was exceedingly fond of quotations from Milton and Shakspeare, which, however out of place, were very well delivered, and evinced an excellent enunciation. At the conclusion of his charge, he made some efforts to call the attontion of the jury to any leading incident which particularly struck him, but what he meant it was not very easy to conjecture ; and when he sat down, the whole performance exhibited a mind which resembled a whirl pool of mud, in which law, facts, arguments, and evi dence, were lost in unfathomable confuiion. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. The n umber for this month is not distinguished by that sparkling variety which characterized some of its late predecessors, but it however con tains much interesting matter, and the abstract of a tale from the Chronicles ofthe Canongate, which fully compensates for its want of variety. There is a desultory preface p re fi xe d to t h e R ev i ew of the " Chronicles," which is marked by some strong, and frequently original turns of thought. The writer, himself a Poet, takes a hasty review of Critics, Periodicals and Poets—he describes the forlorn condition and misfortunes of a hungry aspirant for fame, with such cordial sympathy and apparent truth, that we shrewdly suspect he i; himself, . . " The great sublime he draws," for it cannot be denied that " They best can paint them who can feel them most." Passing from the spider webs of the Reviewers, the writer dilates upon the merits of Crabbe, Burns, Wordsworth, and Scott. He hits °tithe character of Crabbe with much graphic fidelity, and does ample justice to his poetical delineation of unpoctical subjects. Of Burns he has said nothing which we did not know before, and Wordsworth he cannot drag from his romantic wanderings in the wilds of Cumberland.— On the writings of Sir Walter and his uni versal genius, he exhausts the full quiver of his praise, and labours very. unnecessarily, w e think, to convince a few sceptics, that the works of the Author of Waverley will be read a hundred years hence. The other articles in this number possess no particular charm, but they will well repay the reader for his labour—always ex cepting that 'yclept " The Opposition," which, we suppose, - from internal evidence must have been written by Mr. Peel himself in one of his fits of despondency at Maresfield Park during the sporting season. The thing, however, Won't do. He may hope to organise an opposi tion, but his hope will be delusive—as Mr. Daw son and Sir Thomas can too well testify. We may still further expose the absurdity of this ar ticle at an early opportunity. The Review of Bishop Heber's Hymns is done with a masterly hand, and cannot fail to be highly acceptable to those who reverence the memory of that most worthy of exalted and virtuous characters. We select the following extract as a sample of the spirit in which the article is written. All hearts must sympathise in the extacy of the " good old man," ! weeping with joy at the spontaneous burst of applause which greeted his son on the delivery of his noble poem on " Palestine." It was a moment worth dying for ; and Mr. Heber's fa ther never recovered the shock of that interesting' moment which filled the heart of the son with joy, and that of his father with grateful rapture : Reginald Heber did not bring, so far as we have heard, any very high character for scholarship with him to the University. lle had not been at any one of the great pub lic schools, and his abilities therefore could have been known but to a lew companions. His University Latin prize poem, " Carmen Seculare," soon established his claims to elegant scholarship, and inspired the hope of still greater academical distinction. It is a very animated and poetical composition ; but its Latinity is certainly not so pure,, nor its versification so Virgilian, as some---of the Latin prize poems of scholars from Winchester and Eton. That he could beat all the best men of his-year, at their own weapon, was, however, a proof of his boldness and his in genuity —nor, we believe, did he himself ever set upon his "copy" any higher value. But it was not till the summer of 1803 that his most beautiful genius broke forth in all its lustre. "In his childhood," says an admiraile writer in the Quarterly Re view, " Reginald Heber was remarkable for the eagerness with which he read the Bible, and the accuracy with which he remembered it ; a taste and talent which subse quent acquirements and maturer years only served to strengthen, so that a great portion of his reading was in tended, or at least was employed, to illustrate the scripture; and perhaps few men of his day had attained to so masterly a knowledge of the historical parts of the Bible, as well as the doctrinal, or could have thrown happier light upon its Oriental customs, its difficult geography, or the civil, political, and moral condition of the people to whom it was addressed." It may well be supposed with what de lighted enthusiasm a youthful mind so gifted and instruc ted, would seize upon such a subject as "Palestine" for the first poem to which he brought his fine powers, in spired, it may be said, by piety, and stimulated by an ho nourable ambition. It seemed a subject selected for the very man,—nor is it too much to say, that not another youth in England could have produced such a poem. The music of the beroic ,measure, in most bands so monotonous, rolls along in his with a varied majesty, reminding one of the finest parts of the English Pollio— " Ye nymphs of Solytna, begin the song." His subject is arranged, and all its parts proportioned, with a judgment so exquisite, that we ought rather to call it genius. The transitions, though often rapid, sudden, and startling, are all natural to an imagination kindled as his was by " the visions of glory, that spared not his aching sight." Of Old Palestine, ever holy, yet not that Holy Laud it was afterwards to be, his muse that " Her eyes had closed to listen to the strain, That Hebrew bards did consecrate of old, And fix'd her Pinch's upon Lebanon," sung in strains of which every line teemed with scriptural imagery, and with a true Hebrew soul, inspired by the Bible. . But not till the pure and pious youthful bard comes lo the foot of Mount Calvary, and beholds the rueful uplifting of the cross, do we know and feel how genius may be sublimed by religion. And when from that sad stance The unborn ages crowd upon his son]," his descriptions of the elevation of the human spirit all over the face of the earth, and its final apotheosis, are glo riously coloured by the language of the Prophets, and seem indeed, prompted by the spirit he had invoked, " That touch'd Isaiah's hallow'd lips with tire." None who heard Reginald Heber recite his " Palestine," in that magnificent theatre, will ever forget his appearance —so interesting. and impressive. It was known that his old father was somewhere sitting amour, the crowded au dience, when his universally admired son ascended the ros trum ; and we have heard that the sudden thunder of ap plause that then arose so shook his frame, weak and wasted by long illness, that he never recovered it, and may be said to have died of the joy dearest to a parent's heart. Regi nald Heber's recitation, like that of all poets whom we have heard recite, was altogether untrammelled by the cri tical laws of elocution, which were not set at defiance, but either by the poet unknown or forgotten ; and there was a charm in his somewhat melancholy voice, that occasionally faultereri, less from a feeling of the solemnity, and even grandeur of the scene of which he was himself the conspi cuous object—though that feeling did suffuse his pale, ingenuous, and animated countenance—then from the deeply-felt sanctity of the subject, comprehending the most awful mysteries of God's revelations to man. As his voice grew bolder and more sonorous in the hush, the audience felt that this was not the mere display of the skill and in genuity of a clever 'youth—the accidental triumph of au accomplished versifier over his compeers in the dexterities of scholarship—which is all that can generally be truly said of such exhibitions—but that here was a poet indeed— not only of bright promise, but of high achievement—one whose name was already written in the roll of the Immortals. And that feeling—whatever might have been the share of the boundless enthusiasm, with which the poem was listen ed to, attributable to the influence of the " genius Las been since sanctioned by the judgment of the world, that has placed " Palestine" at the very head of the poetry on divine subjects of this age. It is now incorporated for ever with the poetry of England—a lot which has befallm but few prize poems, such as Glynn's Day of Judgment, and Porteus's Death ; although there are others that de serve and will probably enjoy it—such as Wrangliam's Holy Land, and Grant's restoration of Learning and Know ledge in the East,—the first distinguished by sustained spirit and elegance—the second pervaded by a noble enthu siasm, and in some of its strains sublime. LONDON MAGAZINE. .This periodical has arrived so very late in the' day that we have merely time to say, on a cur sory glance over it, that it seems a judicious and well-informed Humber. The Reviews—all of which, though containing good sense, with here and there a dash of small sarcasm, are heavy and dull in style—as usual predominate ; and the best appears to be on the subject of the annuals. " Diary for the Month of October," is infinitely varied and amusing, and contains some striking remarks on the subject of Chief-Justice BEST'S definition of libel, from which we may, perhaps, give extracts at some future opportunity. CAPTAIN ROCK. The present number is worth reading, if only for its sketch of Mr. Shiell, who (according to the writer's account) is just at present the most popular man in Ireland—not excepting even O'Connell. The tale of the a Apostate" also deserves attention, as it is written with no slight degree of earnestness. With regard to the poetry, it is as good as the general run of that commodity, which, for the last year or so, (with the exception of Mr. Crolv), has been left al most exclusively in the hands of the " small f r y" of literature. The stanzas entitled the Fall of the Portuguese," and commencing with " For those who have fought and died On the carcase covered plain," are manifestly the production of a butcher. Neverthelessthe number is a good one. - PUBLIC SALES.-(THIS DAY.) BY MR. CROOK AT THE MART.

A meeting of the Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council was held yesterday morn ing, at his Majesty's Exchequer, at Westminster Hall, for the purpose of having different portions of the coinages coined by the Right Hon. Thomas Wallace, the late Master and Worker of his Ma jesty's Mint, assayed by a Jury composed of twelve members of the Goldsmiths' Company, who had been summoned for that pUrnose, by virtue of a warrant from the Lord Chancellor. Their Lordships assembled about ten o'clock; those present were--the Lord Chancellor, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, the President of the Board of Trade, the present Master of the Mint, Sir George Cockburn, the Right Hon. Wilmot Horton, and the Right Hon. Hugh Elliot. Mr. Buller wa; in attendance as Clerk of the Privy Council. The Jury were then sworn, and were addressed by the Lord Chancellor in a speech of some length, respecting the duty they had to perform, of ascer taining that the proportion of pure metal and alloy had been strictly attended to in the different speci mens of coinage they would have to make trial of, and also whether the coins were of the exact weight, as ordered by the Act of Parliament for regulating the coin of the realm. At the close of his Lordship's address the Jury retired to an apartment where the pix of the Mint, containing specimens of the different coinages had been placed, having been brought from the Tower for that purpose. An equal quantity of the eoius were distributed to each of the Jury to make trial of, and portions of the, metal of which the coins had been made were melted, in order to ascertain the rate of pure metal and alloy used in the coining. Their Lordships, after the Jury had retired, se parated, and in the evening dined with the members cf the Goldsmiths' Company, at their Hall, in Ba singhail-strect. His Royal'Highness the Lord High Admiral presided at the dinner. SIR ANTHONY HART.—It is stated that the new CHANCELLOR will arrive in this city on Thursday next, and that temporary apartments have already been' ordered for hi s rece pti on .

CHARACTERISTIC:III the sketch of Lord NO RBU RY in the present number of the New Monthly Ma gazine, the writer observes, that one of his Lordship's favourite volumes is the lsrewgate Calendar. At the Monthly Market, in this town, on Saturday last, there was but a thin supply of cattle, which went off at no increase in the prices of last month. Sheep met a very dull sale.— Taunton Gottrier. FATAL COINCIDENCE.—At the Fleet-street and Holborn corners of Fetter-lane, there a. a two pork-shops, and it is no less distressing than true, that the proinietor of each has met with an untimely end. Mr. PARKER, kst Sunday, by his own hand, and the other, a few years back, by being chopped up in his own sausage machine ! the works of which accidentally caught the wretched man's clothes, and he was literally broken to atoms : though some time ago, the circumstance may be fresh in the recol lection of many of our readers. Monday morning, three king-fishers were seen flying on the road leading from Salisbury to Alderbury, when one of them suddenly disappeared. On looking round, it was observed hanging on a thorn bush ; having struck the thorn with such force that it went directly through the left eye into the right. It was in beautiful plumage and is preserved by a gentleman in the state in which it was found.-•-Bath Herald. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have been amused in a higher degree than we can boast of being instructed, by a pamphlet which is just put forth from somebody engaged in the country bulking interest.. The author makes no disguise about his object, which is to attack the monopoly of the Bank of England, or at least the spreading of its operations by means of branch banks throughout the country, and to cry up the system of country banking by individuals, as one more favourable to what he calls " public credit." Now it is far from our inclination to bolster up the Colossus of Thread needle-street, either by panegyric or by argu ment : we think it has' swelled to an inconve- nient bulk, and been at times the cause or en courager of serious abuses in the currency and commerce of the empire. But if the pamphlet writer should succeed in establishing even more than we have admitted against the Bank of Eng land, his work would be still to do : the charaes ter and value of the country banks—such banks as the law of the country has permitted, and sej the people, to the ruin of hundreds of thousands, have endured—would not gain a jot in the opi nion of any man of understanding. On the contrary, the more incapable the Bank of Eng land might be found of supporting a safe and pure system of credit throughout the nation, the more absolute would be the necessity of so con , stituting an efficient power for the assay and esti mate—the restraint and government—of those who offered themselves to undertake the important trust of provincial bankers, as to protect the community from the evil which has so often and so fatally oppressed it—natnely, that of desperate paupers, covering the king dom with ostentatious establishments no more solid than houses of cards-enabling needy adventurers, like themselves, to plunge into commercial enterprises, and to swindle credit from the honest and industrious, without a shilling of real capital to depend on ; thus creating for the moment a fictitious and unproe fitable bustle, stuffing the pockets of the whole community, within a day's journey of their ope rations, with paper promises, riot representing the precious metals, or any oth e r s p ec i es o f marketable property, or convertible, when called for, into aught but ashes ; and thus, when their day of bankruptcy came, involving the poorer and more credulous classes of the people—the least competent to look beyond the surface of magnificent pretensions, or to detect. the hollow ness and rottenness within—in irretrievable ruin: . But the fact is, that the pamphlet or manifesto of the country bankers has not established Any thing on any side of the question. He is man of short sentences and shallow views. " The general welfare of the nation," quoth he. depends on the integrity of public credit ;" and then he rattles away into ay explanation of public credit," by whiCh it appears that he means, not public credit, but private credit, viz., the confidence which man reposes in man, a? being able and willing to pay in commercial transactions ; and this he styles the very life of public credit. But, with submission, we beg leave to say that, to be useful, credit ought to be well founded, inasmuch as misplaced confi dence—such, for example, as in the recent me mory of every man who does not choose to forget it—such as was given within these three years to hundreds of plausible insolvents, who had been cheating the public for years with notions of their great capital, stability, and so forth, until they burst like shells in the midst of their plundered customers--ethat sort of confi dence is not " the life" of wholesome credit, but the death of it ; and if we could be sa tisfied that the Bank of England was now labouring successfully to prevent the resur rection of the tribe of bankers in whom that sort of confidence used to be, reposed, we should deem that it rendered an invaluable service to the country. The writer insists that the Bank of England cannot possibly , " so extend its ramifications as to meet the exi gencies of the country," If he understood the bearing of his own arguments, he would feel that this was an unanswerable admission against him self; for the Bank of England could not exer cise what he calls a monopoly. Men of large property, in the character of bankers, would enter the lists with it, in every county or district where the Bank had proved itself " unable to meet the exigences" of public credit, and then there is no harm done. But when the Bank is charged with a " spirit of monopoly," we confess our belief that the charge is not unfounded ; the Bank is like other traders, and they are all mo nopolists. Every country banker would be a monopolist, if the cupidity of each man's neigh bour did not operate as a practical check upon his own. The misfortune is, that the Bank charter will, for a short time, serve as an artifi cial support to that greedy spirit which the ru lers of Threadneedle-street exhibit in an equal, but no higher degree, than the meanest specu lator of the most paltry town, who sets himself up as a banker. The formal and legalized part of this monopoly is an undoubted grievance so far as it goes, and we trust, will never be re newed. In the mean time, there are two circum stances to be considered, which may go far to wards mitigating the apprehensions of disinteres ted men on this subject —for with the selfish croakings of mere partizans on either side we have excess nre c asoisnto, and n e h r n das vu — cecohib l m s e ep t e . louN l :: t h:re c tf cannot bonuroassntte and solid fisloscltridoubted daiptcredit nthat would H of en i t a i t tl e e years them t to o carry contend on r e to n op m e or m tttryhri e ih r r sd c a sa e :, with safety to themselves and are the men least likely to suffiWtuehrsietthsibee. -- er a i l o i k 2 u i d s n l . g y from any scattered competition, which the Bank of Threadneedle -street, formidable as are the re sources at her centre, could raise by means of distant branches, against the accumulations - 61 local capital throughout the great extent of Eng land.—Times. h i m, is peculiarly app li ca bl e to The Fable of the Boy who called out " Wolf, w W o o u l l f d ," b t e i l l i l e a v t e last, when the wolf came, nobody the statements in the Newspapers respecting Greece and Turkey.

It would be difficult to say whe ther the Greeks or the English have surpassed in these affairs of the imagination. For our parts we have been so sickened with the endless con tradictory reports of what is doing at Constan tinople, each successive one delivered with as much gravity as its predecessor, that it is with reluctance we have ever touched on the subect. There has been no difference between the En glish and Russian Ministers in Constantinople, that any of the Ministers in London, either English or foreign, know any thing of up to this day ; and it is hardly, therefore, venturing too far, to say that the report of such difference 7;77 . i~ r, - 1
