I beg, Sir, that you will get a bet ter one, and that without delay." His ghostly advisers surrounded him whilst a new roper was getting ready; and the holy eagerness of each to in eulcate his own particular doctrines, perhapsin some degree lessened the pangs which be untst have suffered during the terrible suspense caused by so untoward an accident. When the new rope was placed aronud his neck, he was re quested to ascend the ladder higher than before ; but this he refused to do, alleging, " that by the next tumble he might break his neck. ' Being again thrown off, the second rope nearly met with the fate of the 'first ; for it stretched so far as to let his feet touch the ground,r-which they actually did for some time, until the executioner drew him up with great difficulty about a foot and a half, win he was strangled and put out of-his misery. His accomplices met death with considerable spirit and decency. Brecknock, however, rather puzzled the par sons, by refusing to join in any devotional exercise, except the Lord's Prayer, which he repeated in Greek!

NEW ARGYLL TABLE LAMP. A . Great Improvement upon the Common .1 7 1 TABLE LAMP, is now offered for SALE by SAMUEL PARKER ) 12, Argyll-place, Regent-street, Bronaist to his Majesty, and Inventor of the Sinumbra and other Lamps, for which a patent has been secured. The prin cipal' difference is caused by the light being below instead of above the oil, by which means the light fails unobstructed on the table. The unsightly apparatus for the oil and wick is concealed within a frosted glass urn, fixed on the top of the pillar, and is taken away to trim the lamp, so that the trouble and risk of carrying about the whole stand is divided. The trimming is very easily managed, and much less cleaning is required than in the common lamp. Its other advantages are—that no oil can possibly overflow upon thy table ; that there is no dangcrgoiling the fingers when the light is regulated, that operation being effected by turning a glass above the light, instead of touching the part near the wick; and last (but not least) that it is not dearer than the ordinary London-made table lamp, its ad vantages being produced by changes in construction, not by any expensive additions to the material. hanged in a brown Wig ! The scattered notices of the Irish Peasantry, as detailed at intervals to our author by Curran and • others, who belonged to an assembly, entitled. " The King of Clubs ;" are among the most piquant—certainly the most original—parts of • the present volumes. The sketch too, of the noted Brighton horse-dealer, Buckhorse, is drawn from the life, with just enough caricature to embellish, without distorting the resemblance. But it is. in his portraits of Mackintosh, Erskine, Curran, 'Horne Tooke, and the other lights of his own times, that the author most. • excels. Herel ho is quite at home ; and revels, - • as it were, in the very fullness of his fami liarity. He is besides a manifest " laudetor tempris .acti," and this throws over his canvas the warm glow of sentiment and nature. But what gives its chief zest to this ' historiettes is the changed character of the times. The pre sent age, though intellectual, is anti-familiar and unsocial ; conviviality no longer presides as of yore, in the tavern, for this last is an excommu nicated place, proscribed by gentility and devoid of talent. Formal literary parties are now the sole substitutes of the bye-gone chatty clubs,. where, as on the stage, lungs but too often ob tain the mastery, and one star shines forth to the extinction of a hundred others. So extra- • vagant is the passion for these conversaziones, and so all pervading the march of intellect, that on the desk of the office in which this desultory Review is penned, there is now lying a letter (ill spelt but civil) inviting us next week to the symposium of a correspondent who occasionally thissupplies paper with four mr short o " rtdi.a weeks liol since a 1 acci dents," b shocked our credulity by his description of ' a re markable gooseberry, which measured six inches round the waist. hi a few years; therefore, the sketches which our author has here presented of the familiar characteristics of his times, will be as perfectly obsolete as the clubs of Addison and Steele. One age thrusts another with contempt off the scene ; the good humor of the past is the vulgarity of the present generation, and the very institutions in which our ancestors most de lighted, are precisely those which we have honored with our especial abhorrence. But be who feels that men besides himself Have once existed, bloomed, and ras:sed away, Will oft-times turn him to the shadowy - scenes • Of other years, with fitting awe—nor say; purely tnis age is all in ait.- sir.

There is no place in the world so famous for the number, variety, and peculiar character of its clubs as England. Under different denomina tions, these truly indigenous assemblies may be tracked through its domestic history for cen turies ; but first, we believe, assumed something like a decided sociality in the earlier parts of the 18th century. At that period, or rather we should say, towards the close of the 17th cen tury, the famous Kit-Cat Club first started into existence, and numbered among its members the names of all the wits and sages about town, who held their periodical Meetings at a tavern some where in the neighbourhood of Highgate. This was foilowed by the Scriblerus Club, consisting of Swift—that prince of grave irony, Arbuthnot, whose John Bull and Sister Peg will alone be sufficient to immortalize him—Pope, whose ex cellencies we need not here enumerate—Gay, the author of these two complimentary lines to Swift (the most so of any we ever read) : " Thro' the long Strand together let us stray, With thee conversing I forget the way." Parnell, a clergyman, moral, but prosy—Mr. Secretary Craggs—and Harley, the politician and the patron. This Club possessed every excel lence, but that of easy gracefulness. There was abundance of information afloat among its associates, but little or no nature. Wit in those days; like dress, was somewhat stiff and formal, it savoured powerfully of the schools, and-perpe tually wore a drag-chain. We draw this con clusion from the few glimpses we have boon on_ armed to obtain the recorded conversations .of the Scriblerus Club ; as well as from Hawkes worth's edition of Swift, in which what is meant to be the familiar correspondence and easy badinage of its members, turns ant a very serious and elaborate affair. On the death of these noted wits, a new era •in literature, of which Johnson was the head—sprung up, and under his auspices an assembly was organized at the Essex Head, where Burke, Reynolds, Lord Charlemont, GoldsMith (the gem of Boswell's Biography), Fox, Sheridan, and Gibbon--the sententious, . sarcastic Gibbon, whom Johnson never forgave for calling . him an " ugly dog"— put their minds into dishabille, and gave unrestrained vent to their fancy. This, by all accounts, must have been the most delightful club ever instituted. Every depart ment of intellect—law, romance, divinity, CO medy, poetry, the fine arts, history, satire, phi. losophy, oratory—all lent their strength to the convivial board, untrammelled by the learned and cumbrous character of the former ,club. With Johnson, however, its glories in some degree expired ; he was the moving spirit—the Coryphzeus of the assembly, and when he died, the chain that had bound it together snapped and was never afterwards united. Politics called off Burke, the beauties of Lausanne protracted the absence of Gibbon, law bound Lord Stowell hand and foot, Reynolds became deaf and prosy, Sheridan fashionable, and Fox indifferent.— Shortly afterwards a new club, which, by way of stimulus, partook of a political character, was instituted, and continues - even to the present day, when there are scarcely a dozen great names left to give it lustre. Of this club, well known by the name of Brookes's, our author has given a truly animated account. He has ushered us into its very semctum sanc torum, has shown us its members seated at their different boards, and bade us listen to the varieties of their chit-chat. Strictly speaking, however, his book is any thing but a.history of clubS; it is in fact a mere rambling collection of anecdotes ; some of which he has picked up from hear-say, others from personal recollection of the great men of the past and passing gene ration. Rogers—Sir James M'lntosh (of whose prolific prowess a most diverting story is told) Curran—Erskine—Sheridan—Lord Ashburton —and above all, fighting Fitzgerald, figure with particular eclat in his pages. The execution of this last bully, who was convicted of the mur der of an attorney, is thus ably related : The scaffolding erected before the new gaol, which was then building, was fixed upon as a gallows for Fitzgerald and his companions; for, the authorities were afraid of taking time in the construction of any other. The rope was accordingly fastened round a flat board, and the ladder placed under it. As soon as Fitzgerald arrived, he was surrounded by no less than four clergymen, each of different persuasion ; and all, of course, anxious for the conversion of so great a sinner. Though terribly hurried in his devotions,—for until sentence was passed he never thought of such a thing,—the poor fellow contrived, after his arrival, to go through Dr. Dodd's Thoughts in Prison, his Last Player, &c. and answered some questions on spi ritual subjects as caltuly as circumstances would permit ; but he became terribly agitated when the executioner made preparations for pushing him off the ladder. When he per ceived this, he earnestly entreated the sheriff to grant him but five minutes longer to live; which being, granted, he pulled the cap over his face, and resigned himself to silent prayer. Being et length told that the time was elapsing fast, he replied, " Sure, Sir, it is not so long !—Stop! stop ! I have just collected myself—for God's sake, let me die in peace !-4way grant me just one min --." Before he had finished this last petition, the executioner threw him off the ladder ! bparreceduweedd up it, an the a As if the last scene of this singular man's life was des tined accident newbe s occurreds ngular which iacho i is w i g h h i tt,hhhaavtel MEETINGS OF CREDITORS, COUNTRY DT A RY..—SATUIDAY, Dac. 22'.

On Tuesday a Committee of Aldermen was held, for the purpose of inquiring into the cause of the fall of the board containing the limps, in Guildhall, on the 9th of November last. The Committee met at 11 o'clock, and examined the following witnesses, as to the accident, and the means which had been adopted to carry into effect the regulations for making the necessary preparations upon the usual annual occasion, viz., Mr. Skipper, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Hill, Mr. Montague (the city Surveyor.) _ _ _ . It appeared that Mr. Montague had appointed his son to attend to the arrangements, amongst which was that respecting the putting up of the lamps par ticularly alluded to. The young gentleman, of course, as he was not substituted by the proper au thority, could not be considered responsible. Mr. SAUNDERS stated, that the surveyor had ex pressed an objection to climbing up the ladder to inspect the work, in order to ascertain whether it was likely to last during the entertainment; and he referred to Mr. Montague himself for the testimony as to the correctness of the statement. _ _ -- Mr. MONTAGUE repeated what he had mentioned when he was asked why he had not examined the apparatus, that he would Not go up the ladder for the sum of 500/. This declaratioa surprised the committee, who, after some discussion, came to a resolution, that the board which fell had been most improperly fixed in the ball; that the wood was green and had warped; and that the well-paid officer of the Corporation (the surveyor) had been extremely negligent in making arrangements. It appeared that there is a resolution in the books, stating that the whole or the erections, &c., on the Lord Mayor's Day, shall be under the superintendance of the surveyorovho has no less than 2,000/. a-year for his labours., .A. report to the effect of the resolution was im mediately drawn up, in order to bp.presentecl to the Court of Aldermen, who were summoned to meet at one. The Court, however, was not sufficiently attended to go to business until half-past two o'clock, and was occupied in hearing petitions until a late hour, so that the most important business of the day Was necessarily postponed. binding The lateness of the hour prevented Alderman Wood from bringing on a motion, of which he had given notice, vii.
