AS a mild and effectual remedy for all those disorders which originate in a morbid action of the Liver and Biliary organs, namely, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Head-ache, Heartburn, Flatulencies, Spasms, Costiveness, Affections of the Liver, &c. &c. DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS (which do not contain mercury in any shape) have met with more general approval than any other Medicine whatsoever. They unite every recom mendation of mild operation with successful effect ; and re quire no restraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tropical climates, where the consequences of re dundant and vitiated bile arc so prevalmt and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient protection. They are likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disorders arising from excesses of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

LITERATURE. TALES OF ALL NATIONS.-1 Vol. pp. 331. London, 1827. There is some talent—but not much—in this little volume, which calls itself " Tales of all Nations," and would therefore be sup posed to contain stories either in character, incident, or description, illustrative of each peculiar nation, whereas in point of fact, it is a book manifestly of home manufacture, and might have been penned by one who bad never travelled further than Hyde Park Corner. While, however, we condemn the general bearing of the volume, we must ex cept from our censure one or two parti cular tales, which, though illustrative of no national characteristic, are yet written with ele gance, spirit, and in one instance with coßsider able humour. It is to the lively little narrative, entitled the " Ring," (said to be a translation from the French) that we now allude ; it con sists of the tricks played upon their husbands by three gossiping good humoured wives ; the most cunning of whom is to be rewarded by their Umpire—a Spanish Count—with a valuable diamond ring. The following is an extract : Each of our heroines was so confident of her own inge nuity, that no sort of objection was offered to this arrange ment; and accordingly the Count took his leave, and put the diamond into his pocket. He had not quitted them many minutes when their husbands ap proached them, and as it was now growing late, the whole party returned to the city, where the desire of con quest, and the anxiety to secure the splendid prize in the custody of the Count de Crapesa, exciting the fertile in vention of Senora Francesca, she planned the following singular imposture, the operation of which subjected her husband to no trifling portion of annoyance and alarm. At no great distance from the residence of the steward Anselmo, lived an astrologer, who enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most accurate calculators of a nativity in Madrid. Before Francesca's marriage this great per sonage had, it was reported, been among the number of her admirers ; but since her union with Anselmo she had given him no opportunity of addressing her. In the pre sent emergency, however, she contrived to renew her ac quaintance with him, and finally to secure his co-operation and support in the trick she was about to put upon her unsuspecting husband. The learned cabalist, who would have undertaken to raise Beelzebub for Senora Francesca had she desired it, readily assured her that ail his profes sional skill should be at her service. " Well, then," said she, " the affair in which I stand in need of your assistance is a mere carnival joke. I only want you to persuade Senor Fabricio that you have disco vered, by the appearance of his natal star, that he will in fallibly depart this life in twenty-four hours." "Say no more, Madam," replied the astrologer, "make yourself perfectly easy, and rest assured that Senor An selmo shall be as dead as a herring in his own opinion be fore sun-rise to-morrow." He then bade her farewell without making any further inquiries as to her intentions. Her next step was to call upon Senor. Agras, whom she found abundantly willing to favour her designs. " The evening was far advanced, when the steward, re turned from his master's palace to supper, encountered the astrologer, who had been for some time on the look out for him. " Why, Anselmo," said the man of horoscopes, " what, in the name of hciavon, the matter with ynit thist look so pale to-night. Are you ill, man." " Ill," replied Anselmo, " certainly not ; I never was better in my life. lam somewhat fatigued to be sure, for I hr.ve been hard at. , vork all the afternoon counting twenty thousand pistoles' worth of silver, but I am well—quite well, I assure you." "It may be so," ejaculated the astrologer, " but you have a mighty cadaverous countenance for a man in good health, notwithstanding. Allow me to feel your pulse." Anselmo complied with his request; and after counting its movements for some time, with a rueful and porten taus aspect, and then sighing deeply, his tormentor con tinued— " Had my long and earnest devotion to the divine study of astrology proved of no other service than that of en abling me to warn you of your present danger, I should think my time and trouble well bestowed. This is one of these occasions on which the counsel and sympathy of a sin.. cere friend are positively invaluable. Do not suffer your self to be needlessly alarmed, my worthy neighbour, but go home, and settle your affairs with all possible expedition ; for die you must, and that too before another day shall have dawned on the city of Madrid. Be composed, my excel lest friend, and employ the few remaining hours of your i l rp replied e o bliged to yo existence in balancing accounts with your conscience." The poor steward, considerab l y ala rme d, alt hough some what incredulous, forceda " I am infinitelyfaint se a yours he poh for but if it be not better founded than your meteorological calcu lations, I am likely to live a good many years yet ; for I can swear upon the crucifix that your almanack never fore tell a fine day on which (without due precaution) one is not sure of g etting wet to the skin." Out upon thee for an unbelieving Jew," cried the teller of the stars, " you may grin if you please, I have per formedmy duty ; and if hi s S a t an i c M ajes ty sho u ld sue _ prise you before you h ave a dj us t e d y o ur r o guish accoun t s, do not forget to remember that I warned you of his visit." Having thus spoken, the astrologer wished Anselmo a good evening, and turned upon his heel. The " Bride of Glenmoy," has one or two interesting scenes in it, the disinterment of the Chieftain's Mistress, for instance ; but the tale of the " Heir Presumptive," is sad stuff, weak insipid, and prosy, not unlike milk and water in quality ; a beverage, from which its writer seems to have drawn his chief inspiration.

I have never yet been a voyage without seeing so mething new and eminently grand in the works either of nature or of art. Of the objects worthy of attention in this voyage, three made a lasting im pression on my mind. The first was, the tremen dous sea rolling off the Cape of Good Hope, in one of the most direful storms perhaps ever known. The sea off the Cape is proverbial for the terrific height to which it runs; even to mariners it proves appal ling, and to many voyagers fatal; in might, awful grandeur, and in fury, it surpasses all the seas on the face of the globe. The storm came on with a gentle zephyr off th e l an d, which increased to a horrid roar of whirlwind, accompanied with continual flashes of lightning, vivid balls of fire dartingaround the vessel, and bursts of tremendous thunder. It continued during a whole week; the nights were horrible; the hoarse cry of the sailors' voices could scarcely be heard amidst the deafening roar of i the foaming bil lows and th e howling of the wind n terrifically lent int erm itting gusts through the rigging. The sea, as seen by the flashe s of lightning, appeared eager to swallow us up in destruction. At the dawn of day, what a subject for a poet ! what a fi e ld for a masterly painter ! But no artist, however masterly, could do justice to a scene so awful ; nor pencil, nor langua ge , c onvey to the mind any the remotest idea of its mighty grandeur. Truly does the Psalmist say—" They that go down to the sea in ships, and occupy their business in great waters ; these men see the works of the Lord, and hi s wonders in the when the threatening slowly onward, as if sure o deep." The terrific and d ar k as the clouds which covered it,rolled ; and v bill ow reached us, destructio n seemed i nev i table. fdestroying But no ! the bark sinks not---she is hurled up to the heavens on its bosom, and the spectator sees be neath him a frightful and Yawning gulf, into which he again sinks to be again borne upward ! This was the grandeur of nature. The second was the grandeur of art, as exhibited in his Majesty's frigate the Loire, Capt. Brown, under whose convoy we were sailing. In the Atlantic Ocean, one morn ing early, the Loire sailed close alongside of us. The breeze was scarcely strong enough to ripple the waters, and emitted a refreshing fragrance; the frigate, as if conscious of her superiority and impos ing beauty, as she glided through her native element, sailed majestically side by side with us, a martial band on board her striking up in the best style : not one of us but felt a glow of exaltation on beholding so fair a sample of England's pride : not one but felt the love of his country strong within him. But not a whisper could be heard--a death-like stillness, in terrupted only by the music and the sighing of the breeze, reigned around, while the minds and eyes of all were busily employed on the unrivalled scene be fore them. Suddenly a signal from another ship of the fleet, for a strange sail, produced an instanta neous change of scene ; swift as thought the Loire was crowded, " low and aloft," with sail; in an in stant she bore away from us, and in less than an hour was a mere speck on the horizon, in hot pur suit of the stranger. By one she reappeared, over took us, fired a gun to leeward, and made signal— War with America." The third was the glorious spectacle of the setting sun. For ten evenings together, during a period m from twenty to thirty minutes after the fiery orl, had withdrawn, the horizon presented such a rich va• riety of fantastic forms, and matchless colours, of azure gold and spangles, vying, as it were, to surpass each other in delicacy and splendour—the whole tot', reflected upon the rippling ocean in the west—as tc produce an effect beyond description magnificent and delightful, and which inspired all of us with ad miration. " How grand !" all exclaimed ; " and," thought I, " how worthy of the great Creator, win has given to the objects of nature the most agreeable forms and accessories, as well as the most im portant uses !"—Adventures of Araufragus, pp.4o, 42. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, JULY 16 LIBEL. WRIGHT V. WHITING ♦NP SWIFT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, whc is a member of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the author of a work entitled Alma Mater; or Sever. Years at the University of Cambridge—by a Trinity Zfan, to recover from the defendants, who are the proprietors of the .Atlas Sunday Newspaper, com pensation in damages for loss sustained by the plain tiff, in consequence of the defendants having, in the said newspaper of the 11th of February last, pub lished a false, scandalous, and malicious libel upon the character of the plaintiff. The defendants pleaded the general issue. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. HOLT con ducted the case for the plaintiff. Mr. BROUGHAM appeared for the defendants. Mr. HoLT having opened the pleadings, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case for the plaintiff. As there were but few who were capable of appreciating the merits of works of literature, mankind was indebted to the honest reviewer, who, w ithout any feelings of a personal nature, pointed out the merits and the defects of such works, and though the reviewer might spew himself to be comparatively , ignorant of the work which he undertook to re view, he (the Attorney-General) was ready to admit that he ought not to be called upon to answer in a Court of Justice for any observations which he might make, provided those observations were eon• fined to the work, and were not to gratify feelings of malice extended to the personal character of the author, for the purpose of holding him up to public ridicule and scorn. With respect to the work written by the plaintiff, he (Mr. Attorney-General) would not go the length of saying, that although the author had been educated at an university, there were not introduced into the work some passages susceptible of ridicule, and which might very fairly be held up to ridicule as very foolish and absurd; but he would say, that the fact of a work containing passages of that description, did not, in his (Mr. Attorney General's) opinion, justify the writer of this article in making an attack upon the personal appearance, and personal character of the plaintiff. He should inform the Jury, that the plaintiff, in the course his work, had alluded in a good-natured way to some of his old college companions, and had men• tioned them by their college names. One of those companions the plaintiff called " Beast," another " Bear," and so on ; but he always spoke of , them as his best friends, and there could not be a' passage pointed out in the whole work, from which. it could be inferred that the plaintiff, by men-' tiening those college names which were given by gay and volatile young men to their companions, had the slightest intention of degrading his former com• panions. The plaintiff also introduced the name Mr. Brass, one of the Fellows of Trinity, and a ge tleman whose name could not be mentioned in ' hearing of those who had, as he (the Attorne, General) had, the honour and happiness of knowin.• that meritorious individual, without calling forth te greatest reverence and respect. Of that gentlemen the plaintiff spoke throughout the work with tie greatest gratitude for obligations received at hi hands; but as the work was one of a gay and light description, some of Mr. Brass's peculiarities were spoken of with, perhaps, too much levity; but no man who knew Mr. Brass, could, for a moment, think less highly of him from a perusal of this work; nor was it, in the most remote degree, the intention of Mr. Wright to give the slightest pain to that re spected gentleman, much less to do any thing which could, by possibility, have a tendency to lower his cha racter in the eyes of his friends or of the public. The Learned Gentleman here read the libel, and commented upon it as he went along. What, he would ask, was there to justify the reviewer in makinga comparison between Mr. Wright's work and the Memoirs of llarriette Wilson, the most flagrant and audacious work that was ever published in this or any other country—a work which was a disgrace to the press from which it issued ? What grounds had the reviewer for charging Mr. Wright with the loss of the friendEhip and acquaintance of his College compankens ? If Mr. Wright went by the name of " wretch Wright " at the University, he was not aware of it; but of the mention of his name in that way, he did not complain, because Mr. Wright was well aware, that to those College names there was no meaning at tached, and that they were not the consequences of any malicious or bad feeling, But though the re viewer might be justified in mentioning Mr. W.'s name with this College addition to it, what right had he to introduce Mr. Wright's personal appear ance, and to.say that his face appeared to have been carved out of the most disgusting and noisome com position—a heap of stable dung? Was there any thing in Mr. Wright's work which fairly called forth such a statement ? He did not complain of the reviewer for having exposed the bad taste of the plaintiff, in in troducing into his work his College friends by their College names ; and if Mr. Wright had done so with the view of giving pain to his old College com panions, he (the Attorney-General) would agree with the reviewer, that Mr. Wright had shewn very bad taste ; but what he complained of was, that the reviewer, tinder pretence of reviewing a work, should, i n fl uence d, i n a ll pro b a bility, by private feeling s , ma k e an attac k upon t h e pe rsonal charac ter and app earance of th e p l a i n tiff, and state that i which e ver y body, wh o h a d ever been n Coll ege, must know to be false—namely, that the plaintiff', a I member of the University, was in such a d egra di ng state of poverty, as to be compelled to accept pre tents of furnitnrerfrorn the College servants, and of old clothes from the Fellows and others. No man who could condesc---1 receive those presents could live in the University; and he (the Attorney- General) had no doubt that the Jury would award a sufficient compensation in damages for the injury done to the plaintiff. Mr. Hansard—l published Alma Mater for the plaintiff, who is the author of it, and who gave me the manuscript. I have read the criticism in the Atlas of the 11th of last February, and I believe it applies to the plaintiff's work, which I now produce. The defendants' admission of the proprietorship of the Atlas, and of the publication of the alleged libel, having been put in and read, Mf. Bellamy read the alleged libel, which was in the following words : " Alma Mater; or seven years at the University . of Cambridge—by a Trinity Man." " This is one of those publications, which, for ulterior ends, one does not regret has been pub lished, but which no person will write who has not already lost his place in the society he describes. Had the notorious Harriette Wilson been still qualified to carry on her infamous trade, she would not have betrayed the names and con versations of her paramours. Had not this author forfeited somehow or other the friendship and ac quaintance of the gentlemen whom he introduces by name, and without ceremony, before the pub lic, he would not have ventured to exposé them. A very slender examination of the work enables us to detect the name of the author, which, indeed, he scarcely attempts to conceal; for in one place he mentions the initial letter as W. and on another occasion he speaks of himself as included in an enu meration of six names, only one of which begins with W. and that name is Wright. Of the standing the author describes himself, we nre informed there was a Sizer in Trinity College of this name, who, from the meanness of his personal appearance, and, perhaps, from the poverty of his means and the low ness of his connections, was further designated as Wretch Wright. So that to the author's groups. &c. must be added the person of Wretch Wright,' of Long Bailey, Little Walker, Beast Macauley, whose face we are told was universally described in his college, as appearing to be cut out of that heap which usually graces the door of a stable. It is but right that the author's pictures should be filled up, Can it be from modesty that, in the col;catures Mr. Wright has drawn, he should have only left a blank outline for his own appearance ? On the contrary, modesty is:not a charge we are disposed to bring against the Trinity Man,' for, Recording to his own account, he is not only stored mentally with all the knowledge that education can bestow, but he has the invention and quickness of a Newton —every accomplishment is his—there is not a musi cal instrument wind or stringed that he cannot ple4y, and wherever he appears, the sight of him ineiuces all the best part of the society he enters to Court his acquaintance ; and in the comparatively unimpor tant point of dress, we learn, that he and another dressed so well and were so solitary in their atten tions to the toilet, that they were denominated the 'Flash Bachelors.' They who remember the ex ceedingly contemptible figure of the insignificant person who went by the name of Wretch Wright— they who remember the unhappy and almost degra ding state of poverty in which he lived, and which extorted presents of furniture even from the servants of the College, and of articles of habiliment from the Fellows and others—they who observe, too, in hi% own book, that he was indebted to the geneeous charity of one Fellow for tuition, who stole an Inane from sleep between six and seven in the 'winter mornings, that he might bestow it gratuitoueiy; and to another, for a stipend of 30/. per annum, avow edly out of charitable f un d s , b ut, i n a i l probabil i ty, out of his oven pocket—will scarcely know wheth er 'to laugh at the vanity which dictated such para graphs as the following, or. to be indignant at the want of decency and honesty which they indicate." Mr. Bnovottard addressed the Jury for the de fendants. The plaintiff, ill-advised as he was, be yond all the ill-advised persons whom he (Mr. B.) had ever known—unrestrained as he was by those bonds which regulated the actions of ordinery men-- had thought fit to force his way to the floor c.d a Court of Justice, there to seek for reparation In da mages, for an attempt to hold him up to public ridi cule and contempt—a man who ought to be justly held up to ridicule and contempt, for having at tempted to make a base and sordid profit, by reveal ing to the eyes of the public, of the profane, the cold-hearted, and the disinterested —to the reading part of his countrymen—all the little foibles of men whilst students at the University—by laying bare'to the public gaze those private slanders which the most worthless men, who gained their livelihood by the most degrading means, had hitherto lookea upon as sacred, and had not ventured to detail, and probably never would have been detailed, is.; the plaintiff had not come forward to degrai:ie the name of author, and to make the name of a man of education, and a Member of a Unie,,e/,itv, dis gusting, disgraceful, and despicable / jeyond descrip tion. If a Jury could be found wlto would give such a man those damages to which the wronged injured, and calumniated man 'was fairly entitled, there would be a cruel clost put to all discussion—there would be an end tb college discipline and govern ment—there would be an end to that respect paid by pupils to their teachers—there would be an end to all that was wholesome, edifying, a nd use f u l, i n 'nose places de vo t e d f or th e education of men. It was well known that the most fertile land produced Itares as well as wheat, and in his (Mr. B.'s) opinion the University had no greeter crime to answer for than the having, from time to time, produced, among the brightest ornaments of the Senate and the Bench, such rank and noxious weeds as the plaintiff. He was willing to admit that the plaintiff proclaimed the charities of that estimable man, Mr. Brass, whom he (Mr. Brougham) regretted he had not the honour of being acquainted with ; but II : , must, at the sam e ti me , sa y, t h at t h e plaintiff inad, almost in th e same p age i n w hi c h he recorde<l t h ose charities, recor d e d, to hi s own everlsistine• disgrace, his own baseness and ingratitude. Flow did the plaintiff speak of Mr. Brass? In nis book there was this passage :—" I cannot let slip this oppor tunity to state, that, when Mr. Brass got disguised," he did so and so; 'out, added the plaintiff, " this was not more than once or twice a Term, that I know of," Was it, he put it to the Jury, a pleasant thing, whether true or hot, for any man to be told that he got drunk once or twice a Term, " that I know of." By the latter part of the sentence plaintiff meant it to be understood that other people knew more of that matter than he did. He was as great a friend to the liberty of the press as his Learned Friend (the Attorney-General) ; but when he considered the nature of this publication, and that it would be read eagerly by those young men who ought to look up with respect and veneration to their tutors, whose duty it was to form their minds by precept and by press, he Should example, he confessed that, to publications of this fall from persons enjoying description, which no one could doubt were a gross f b ri r e e i a id st s , an a d r4 ear: v v ho a ssee abuse of the true freedom of the prefer, at ant*, the admission of reporters into every of a within m an h ' i s s private dining room, into every convivial party, f s . r publishing to the world the e v x ie p i r a e t s ie si n 'on ef w de h e ic e h ney mi i g n ht t t T h i ee festiveexp re s s board. purpose f o t f ht piue Jury ul defendant, thought ht t , h t e tah lV ed O r r et_ l o d weeae,:eenrryoy, sociates, they would find a verdict for the plaintiff, And teach a lesson to h feelings were in the right place,that be a book ever so reprehensible, no man shall express Vs feelings— those feelings which are common - mn private who h o conversations a h eart to all honourable minds--.upon the conduct of the author, except at the high peril of damages for his paying honour and high-minded integrity. Lord TENWRDEN, in summing up, said, that every man who wrote a book was liable to fair and just criticism, and the only question for the consideration of the Jury was, did the criticism cast upon the plaintiff, or not, reflections which were not called for by the statements contained in the book itself?
