It is a curious feature in the lighter literature of the day, that while romance is descending to malty, reality is elevating . itself to romance, Sir Walter Scott and his imitators discarded the good old Ratcliffe school (for the foundress of which we pro fess an almost unqualified admiration) by conde scending to imitate real life; the author of " Morn ings in Bow-street," on the other hand, .has gai ne d popularity by endeavouring, if not to do away with it altogether, at least to render it subservient to the purposes of a broad—sweeping and extravagant cari cature. This, by the bye, is his very best recommen dation. Had his volume been rigidly adherent to truth, it would have been simply disgusting, (for human na ture in the best of us requires embellishment), b ut set off as it is—the foundation alone resting on reality—by a bold and uncompromising spirit, it provokes laughter, curiosity, and.gratification. present.

The article on Mr. Britton's " Union of Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting," is far too good for its subject. Mr. Britton is a mere antiquary, without a soul; his genius is covered, not with the romance, but with the dust and cob-webs of antiquity; a pair of old jackboots, are, we suspect, in his eyes of equal in terest with Tinter!' Abbey. The "Poetry of Spain" should have been penned in a higher and warmer tone of thought and feeling ; nevertheless it brings information to its task, a praise which we may ex tend generally to the remaining articles. In fact the only faulty sentence in the whole number, is that concise and epigrammatic one " Price Three Shil lings and Sixpence," stationed, as an awful warning, at the tail of the title-page.

THE FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS HYMN, ADESTE FIDELES, Harmonised for four voices, with tin Accompaniment for the Organ or Piano-forte,. and inscribed to his friend, Mr. J.'Robinson, of York, by Vincent Novell°. This national hymn, so strongly characterised by its solemn and appropriate simplicity, has been har monised by Mr. Novell° with considerable skill. While the beauty of the original melody is care fully preserved, the parts are judiciously arranged; never crowded, yet always rich and 'full in their effect, they announce not only the hand of a sound theorist, but of an ingenious fabricator of multi sonant composition; while, in some places, the com bination is relieved by the ease and lightness of un incumbered solo, duo, and trio. The piano-forte or organ accompaniment adorns, embodies, and ce ments the whole, producing a result eminently creditable to the judgment and ability of the mo difier. So much for the excellence and the attrac tions of this publication ; as a drawback to which we have only to say, that it lacks what would have afforded no trivial relief and ornament to the whole—an introthictoryi an intermediate, and a con cluding symphony. THE COUNTRY BANKERS. The General Meeting of the Country Bankers took place on yesterday at the London Tavern, but strangers, as before, were carefully excluded, under the absurd notion that -publicity would be injurious to their cause, by giving 'the Bank an intimation of what was going forward—as if any secrets could be kept in which more than an hundred persons are concerned. The injury to the cause, on the other hand, from not interesting the public in the argu ments by which it is to be supported, by thus im peding their circulation, is manifest. A deputation of seven country bankers was appointed at the meet ing of yesterday, who are to have an early inter view with Lord Goderieh on the subject of their complaints against the branch banks, and to present him with a copy of the resolutions which have been entered into. Their object is understood to be, in the first instance, to interest Ministers in the case, by representing the inconveniences they themselves sustain from the introduction of branch banks; to gether with the danger to the country of the Bank acquiring, by means of them, a controul over the entire circulation of the country, and a power too great even for Ministers themselves to check. They aim, therefore, ultimately, either at procuring the abandonment of the branch banks already formed, or at depriving the Bank of its exclusive privilege ,as regards the formation of other banks, composed of more than six partners, in London or within 65 miles of it. They conceive if this privilege were withdrawn, that by the aid of a combination with the London bankers, of whose co-operation they ,al , teady possess distinct assurances, they could suc ceed in establishing such a rivalry with the Bank of England as would divide the confidence of the country. They profess no other hostility against the Bank than that .which arises out of the forma tion of branch banks ; on the contrary, they express entire approbation of the principles on which it was previously conducted.—Times. (ANOTHER. ACCOUNT.) The Committee of Country Bankers, appointed at the Meeting on 'Wednesday, to arrange the plan by which it is proposed to meet the Branch Esta blishments of the Bank of England, had their first meeting yesterday at the London Tavern. The same secrecy which distinguished their proceedings on that day was continued yesterday. The entire of the Committee was present, and they remained closetted upwards of three hours. They are most active in their preparations for the campaign against the great lady in Threadneedle-street. Among the plans proposed was the establishment of one vast bank, with branches at some convenient place within fifty miles of the metropolis; another was, the establishment of district banks, each isolated for the different parts of the country. The discus sion of these projects must of course not be looked for, as no individuals but those personally interested were allowed to he present. It was, however, tin derstood in the City, in the course of the afternoon, that it was intended to call a second meeting of the deputies before Christmas, to whom the intended plan should be submitted.

This scriptural little volume, though highly to be commended for its earnestness and good intentions, has been conceived, we fear, in a mistaken spirit of piety. Its professed object, as the author assures us in an ably written preface—is " to cause the Bible no longer to be taken up with reluctance, read with indifference, and laid down again without re gret ;" in furtherance of which object, he has made the earlier periods of the Bible, from the Fall of Man to the sacrifice of Isaac, the vehicles of a col lection of stories, wreathed with the flowers of ro mance, interspersed with superfluous remarks, and encumbered :with pretty puerilities. It is of this transformation we complain. Sacred history needs little or no change, its language concentrates in itself every variety of excellence, and (ac cording as its subjects demand the display of such beauties) is stern, majestic, tender, elo quent, imaginative, sublime, and throughout in every alternation of style, breathed over by the glowing spirit of the divinity. To adopt, in place of these various excellencies, a series of mere erring human lucubrations, devout, but redundant and puerile in style, and far indeed, removed from the transcendant majesty of the original; to pass off such lucubrations to the world as " Bible Gems," when, in fact, the gems are false brilliants, set in paste : and then, by way of a wind-up, to take credit for having thereby rendered the "Bible" more at tractive, is a proof of an ill-judging, though, we doubt not, sincere and well-intentioned mind.— Even Milton himself, whenever he alluded to, or paraphrased the language of Holy Writ, did it . with a reverential consciousness of his own inferiority; like Moses, he took off his shoes, for he felt that he was treading on holyground, and drooped weak and flagging under the overwhelming grandeur of his subject. Shall Mr. Stewart presume to soar where Milton scarcely dared to creep ? Shall the author of " Bible Gems" flatter himself with the idea of having ren dered a service to Christianity, where the author of " Paradise Lost" confessed his deficiencies. In deed—indeed we hope not, if only for the sake of that lowly and respectful diffidence which we should always wish to associate with the character and vocation of a clergyman. Mr. Stewart's good in tentions are, as we observed before, more to be com mended than his discretion : if he must paraphrase, let him take Milton—or pick up Porteua for a sacri fice—but when he enters within the sacred precincts of Zion, let him at bast cast aside the robes of vain gloriousness, slid clothe himself instead in the white garment of humility."

BPTCH 7 - , THE KING v. FOVVLIRiti AOTHER.- Mr. BUS/3Y opened the pleadings. This was an n s s t a a u g a l t against upon i f n or dic a t n me a Robert jheortitnFoLwlolyerdaClerk for an assault upon John Lloyd Jones. The de pleaded " not guilty." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opened the case. Mr., Jolm Jones is a respectable surgeon, and the brother of a•Mrs. Teasdale, who lives in Arlington-street, Piccadilly. She was summoned to the Court a Conscience by a servant whom she had discharged ; 'and feeling that it was an act of justice to the public to resist, the claim, she determined to attend before the Commissioners, and requested her brother to attend with her. As she was in weak health, her brother accompanied her to the Court, where the transaction "took place 'which gave rise to the present indict ment. The Court was divided by a bar into two parts, on one side of which sat the Commissioners, and on the other the crowd. Mrs. Teasdale went through this bar, and was approaching the Commissioneis, when the defendant Fowler, instead of quietly telling her that she was going where she had no business, took hold . of her by the shoulder in a very rough mantle!, and swung her right round. Mrs. T. fainted away on this violence being used towards her. Mr. Jones, who was thrown into grOtt agitation by his sister's fainting, on seeing her reesivering, ran to fete]] hey husband,- whp.lived at arp*reet,distatieet- found Mr. Teesdale, and one of his own brothers, at Mr. Teasdale's house, and he returned with them to the Court of Requests, to bring Mrs. Teesdale home.— On Mr. Jones presenting himself at the inner Court for admission, he was assaUlted by several of the officers in the most brutal and unprovoked man lier. The Learned Counsel here detailed the par ticulars of the assault. The reason alleged by' the defendants for making such an assault upon . him was, that Mr. Jones was going to a part of the Court where he had no right to go.- He allowed that officers had often great difficulty in keeping the access s sawoenihindeit which Icoa counsel r o hnu:ser etv:l witnesses, too r ai 9 t : e s rl sd, o si Justice )n f en:cho: ncnwt ai nhei n c tne l tnt e ao a cr arcno. opened n E : ele v tidxrh e te n . ep i nsnttp pointeti spectators, aops such uo t gro e csih - fli construction as any in which he had ever been, to t h ii blasts pfairahat het was surprised that any into: could bear them and live,—even in the present Court, front which he had seen the Duke of Norfolk' and another Peer obliged to retire from their inabi lity to reach the bench, he had never seen, even on the most crowded trial, any such violence exercised by the officers to repress. the entrance of intruders. as had been exercised by the officers of this petty Court of Requests. He allowed that the defendants had a duty to execute as officers in keeping back the crowd ; but then they ought to execute it with mild ness and ; temper, and not to be guilty of such aggra vated insult and violence as'. he would prove to the Jury had been displayed by them in the present instance. The Learned Counsel then called the following witnesses to support the indictment. John Lloyd Jones, examined by Mr. BROUGUAM —lam a surgeon in Castle-street. On the 25th of September last I went to the Court of Conscience in Vine-street, with my sister, Mrs. Teasdale, who was summoned there by a servant whom she had discharged. We perceived a separation of the Court into two apartments, by means of a bar. There was no great crowd within that bar. My sister passed within it. As soon she had done SO Fowler accosted her very rudely, and pushed her forcibly`to the door. which separates the two Courts, putting hie right hand on her left shoulder. She was ad vancing towards the place , wher4he Commissioners were sittipg: , Foisierlitralettiter pin. She 'was extremely agitated, from her weak state of health, and was just falling to the ground, in a fainting state, when I caught her. in my arms. I bore her, in concert with an officer, whom the Commissioner' ordered to assist me, to a back door, which was thrown open for air. I supported my sister till .she recovered a little. I then left the place to fetch hes husband. I came back with him and another bre ther of my own, whom I found at his house. When I returned I saw Clerk standing against the bar. I told him that I wanted to pass into the inner Court to see a lady whom I had left .almost fainting. Without any further word being uttered, he hit me with his clinched fist, a severe blow in the face, which raised the skin. This was the signal 'for Fowler and several others striking me too, very vio lently. I was struck down near the bar, but by whom I cannot tell. Cross-examined by Mr. COMMON-SERGEANT. — After my sister fainted, I stayed with her five or ten minutes. Clerk, by order of the Commissioners, brought my sister water. I called Fowler a scoundrel, but do not remember that I put my fist in his face, I said, " You are a scoundrel for treating my sister thus ; and you shall be punished for it." Re-examined.—My sister is at present too ill to come to Court. James Teasdale, examined by Mr. BUSBY.—I sin the husband of Mrs. Teasdale. I recollect accom panying Mr. Jones, on the 25th of September last, to the Court in Vine-street. .He attempted to make his road to the bar, where Clerk was standing. He said to him, " I wish to pass. I left a lady here a short time since, in a fainting state." I believe that Fowler was not there then. The bar was then raised, and Jones went inside. Ido not know wiles raised the bar. Jones did not. Clerk immediately raised his fist and struck him three or four times. I arm rk e astrikenstrike, n did not see Jones return the blow. The blow was so severe as to knock him to the opposite si d e of th e o himy when he was down. e ntrance of the Court, upon w hich Fowler came Three or four others came e i r otle I awfroidtmhhhtishimele.ignntHoerekoieffiwkcaehs,imbao.nt an d ra ised his to n b struck and kicked whilst shaeyj‘oet that ha s nt adhoej deswonni th e re were so many persons around him.

On cross -exam• • .d cross-examination, he sai d that he heard the bystanders call oat shame at the conduct of the officers. A Mr. Holcombe gave similar testimony. The COMMON SERGEANT admitted that great violence had no doubt been committed in the Court of Requests ; but the question for the jury to decide was, whether the two defendants, or either of them, had been guilty of it. They could not hare been so long engaged as jurors without being aware of the great difficulty of access even to a court constituted like the present. People made "Y easily for his Learned Friend, the Attorney-General, on account of his great bulk and , personal capacity; but a slen der and humble individual, like himself, had great difficulty in getting to his place in court, owing to the eagerness of the parties and witnesses in causes to know what was going forward within it. If such were the case in a well-regulated court like the pre _ did sent, whatthey think the pressure in here a little o ff ic e in Vine-street was likel y to be, wehe suitors were in general very numerous, and of a very low condition in life ? The Learned Counsel then called the following witnesses in support of the defence : Joseph Slack, examined by Mr. It' --EADEL—I am the Chief Commissioner of the Court of Requests, in Vine-street. I recollect my attention being called to Mrs. Teasdale on the day in question, by her forcing herself tip to the bar close to me. She stayed there a few seconds and then fainted away.
