Sir William Best; Who has suffered as much as any Judge from ridicule, is endeavouring to revenge . hhiaielf on the laughers.' " Whatever has a tendency to hold any man . up to ridicule, is a libel," says Sir William,in his Charge upon the exquisitely absurd case of Levi the Bailiff; which has now come before the Court of Com mon Pleas once more, and in which this Judge, haling committed himself originally by declaring it a libel to joke upon a comic blunder of a catchpole, and getting angry at the comments made upon his own absurdity, seeks to justify himself by setting up this extravagant doctrine. In the very same Charge Sir William lays it down that the Liberty of the Press consists, in speaking " the whole truth." Shades of Mans field and Ellenborough ! hear the alai ming dic tum ! - Since the law of libel is but the breath of the Judges, the newest dogma should supersede all former ones—the maxim, that -" the greater the truth, the greater the libel," may therefore be considered exploded. But what if the truth make a man ridiculous ? Then the utterer of such truth is a libeller, inasmuch as " he holds another up.to ridicule," but no libeller inasmuch as he tells only the truth. Take the case of Sir William Best, for example. We are just now taking the liberty of laughing a little at that learned person, both as the tender guardian - of ie an o ther, her Do, tho ugh m, .ethen characte r a nd f ee li ngs o f th e bum-bailiff,.and as the grave p ro p oun d er o f d ogmas w hi c h over turn oi breic,iettnerele d ib a l ln t i he ost same in the Justice ? Not so—for we state only time " truth" regarding him ; we merely exhibit him contra dicting himself. if he bring us into Court for a libel, we shall plead his own declaration as our authority for .calling his absurdity by its light name.

JOSEPH DART, Secretary INVERNESS COUNTY MEETING. MR. OWEN. BOLSTER'S QUARTERLY MAGAZINE: crimtt Bir— The Michaelmas Head Court of this County was held yesterday in the Court-house here, when the following Gentlemen assembled for the despatch of business : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. silt—Being infOrmed by a friend, a few days ago, of a work published by Mr; Carlile, in which me name was used in a very extraordinary manner, I immediately called upon Mr. Carlile, whom, for the first time, I saw on Saturday last. On inquiry, I learned from him that he had been entirely misinformed on the subject of that,publica tion, so far as it concerned myself ; and when I in • formed - hint that the facts Which I had been told wer e. contained in it were, in all respects, the re verse of the truth, he expressed the greatest regret, and offered to make every reparation in his power.. I left him to consider I‘7ltat ought to be done; I called upon him again yesterday afternoon, and ob tained copies of the publication in which my name had been so unwarrantably used, and for the first time I read them last night.. They are of such a nature, that I deem it neces sary to say, that I had not the slightest knowledge of their publication, and that the facts are precisely the opposite of the particulars stated; and, after consideration, I consider it a duty publicly to state, that the simple facts are these-- went to' the continent of Europe to place my sons at school, with Mr. Fellenberg, at Hofwyl, in Switzerland, and to communicate generally with the most enlightened statesmen, philanthropists, and men of science in France, Switzerland, and Ger many, upon the best means to remedy the growing evils of society arising from the daily introduction of new powers, which, .misdirected, threatened to in volve the mass of the population of all countries in misery; but the subject alluded to, by Mr. Carlile was not, in a single instance, mentioned by any one of the parties. During my stay in France and Switzerland, I was in constant intercourse ~with the leading minds in both countries ; . and as I have never had time to learn the French language, I had always an inter preter • with me, - and this was the celebrated Professor Pictet, of Geneva, who, with. the still more celebrated Cuvier, accompanied me from Lon don, sand the former from Paris to Switzerland, where we spent our time always together, or in the society of men engaged in measures intended 'to benefit their fellow-creatures The Review of Sir Walter Scott's early tran slation of Goethe's " Goetz Von' Berlichingen," in the present number of this Magazine, deserves attention, inasmuch as it exhibits the germ of that power of rom an ti c d escr i pt i on, w hi c h t h e great novelist afterwards so successfully deve loped, both in prose and poetry. The " Re marks on Shakspeare" are puerile ; we do not 'require to be told that the " Midsummer's Night Dream" is imaginative, nor is it news to us that the passage about, " the course of true - love never did run smooth," is beautiful. We,have taken it for granted ; considerably upwards of a century. " The Fine Arts in . Ireland" contain€ some just observations concerning the treatment which they at present experience in that country; there is apparently room for considerable im provement, " Deardra" is a pretty poem ; but the article headed " The Easiest - Thing in the World," 'whatever it may have been to write, is any thing but easy to read. On the whole, however, the Magazine is a good one. intel wledge, rsuPP l Y' ite por- Tie the printej A a list yes and ilimitett Office. been Mr. Falconer of Lentran 1 Col.

Mr. MACQUEEN, W. S., adverted to the statements which recently. appeared regarding the present management of this ferry, and to the complaints of the poorer classes of the people, that the steam-boat rates were excessive. He disclaimed all intention of imputing blame to the proprie tor of this ferry or his managers ; but from the dissatisfac tion which prevailed (whether • well or ill founded), it seemed to require the immediate attention of this county; and his object was to move for the appointment of a Com mittee to inquire and report upon the actual state of the ferry, and if necessary to. correspond with the county of Ross, which has a concurrent jurisdiction over the ferry. He referred - to the . Acts of Parliament which imposed the duty of inspecting and regulating ferries on the Justices of Peace, and which expressly applied to a ferry between two counties. Mr. Macqueen observed, that it ought to become a subject of deliberation with the Justices, whe ther, if the steam-boat fares cannot be rendered sufficiently moderate for the lower orders, the proprietor •of the ferry should not supply ordinary boats—leaving it discretionary for passengers to cross by steam or otherwise. Mr. GRANT of Lakefield, made a few observations on the jurisdiction of the county of Ross, to which, he said, the regulation of the ferry exclusively belonged. MT. JAMES GRANT, W.S. thought an enquiry highly proper. A _ _ . The privilege of laughing at what is ridicu lous cannot be taken away ; and it would he wiser to leave a people who have plenty of seri ous grievances, in the undisturbed enjoyment of it. A good deal of black bile is carried off by the hearty laughs in which we indulge at the follies and mishaps of obnoxious public .6harae ters : in this point of view, Sir Thomas -Leth bridge and Lord Londonderry are national be nefactors. The Bourbons of France either do not understand this policy, or have too much bigotry and passion to practise it ;—and they in consequence contrive to be bitterly hated as well as mercilessly ridiculed. _ _ _ )ok-otl ly heel as the the di' reet, %ye ROMANTIC • CASE. Some years since, at a party at the house of the Hon. Douglas Kinnaird, in London, a lady was play ing a manuscript Greek air, which Lord Byron produced. A friend_ of his Lordship, who was present, admiring the music, requested the poet to adapt some English words to it, which was immediately complied with by his Lordship, who wrote the words under the music and presented it to the friend at whose request they were written, and who now has the original manuscript in his possession—that friend of the great poet is Edmund Kean, Esq. o yster neigh' . even' ;abbot , ' Irunkell ig pros' r youth! death?'

To the political economists, who adopt the opi nions Put forth by Mr. Malthus, the subject has ap peared one of deep interest; but I have always con sidered that a natural increase of population might be made most beneficial to every country, by adding to their effective strength, by increasing their wealth, and by rendering it unnecessary to require so much individual labour from each producer. And that tbis state of constant improvement would pro ceed:Until every part of the earth shall be well cul tivated, all I have seen in all countries, up to the present period, still more strongly impress me with the truth of this conclusion. tional Police the woman Puinas, who has beeii summoaed-as having enticed two young girls into debauchery.

GRANT, jun., of Rothiemurchus, saw no reason for this county to interfere ; he said that a table of fares was laid before this county when the steam boat was planned, to which no objection was stated ; and he consi dcrd it a bard thing for Or proprietor - of the ferry to go into a great additional enence m irupiovitig the convey ance, on the faith that no objection existed to the increased rates proposed by him, and that it was only now, when the improvement was effected, it was proposed to overturn it.

Mr. MacpiTom of Raigmore, stated that he believed the proprietor of the ferry was in the cotuse of remedying the existing evil ; and Mr. Macqueen, upon this assurance, withdrew his motion, as the mention of the subject at this meeting would probably attain the end desired. therine- The air to which these words are adapted is remarkably sweet and touching, and is declared by ikmpetent judges to beta• a strong re' emblance to the old Irish melodies.— Dublin Freeman's Journal. 2Eneas.Barkly, Esq.

She appeared sensible of the attentions he paid her ;- proposals of marriage were made by him, and rejected by the widow, in conse quence of the difference of religion bet Ween the parties. Abdalla set out for Turkey, bearing with him the heart , and the thoughts of the. young Anais, and promising her to return immediately to Paris, to take her away to . his own country and marry her there. After his departure, Anais often went to a farm near Neuilly, where milk is sold. She there met with the woman Dumas, who proposed to tell her fortune, on the eardS, and asked whether she had any affair of the heart. Anais blushingly acknowledged that she loved a young Mussulman, who had asked her' in mar riage, but that her mother did not wish him ttz. be her husband. The woman Dumas replied, that perhaps her lover was very near to her in Paris, in the neighbouring boarding-school of the old garden of Tivoli. Anais immediately repaired with her young sister tathis garden ; she looked at a casement pointed out to her, and thought that she mew Abdalla. Very speedily the Egyptian, accompanied by one of his frioids, stood beside her. Anais then looked at him again, and at a less distance from her—it was not Abdalla. Soliman and Ali "(so are theyoUng men called), however, entered into conversation with her. Anais liked to speak to persons whose costume- reminded her of the lover whose absence she lamented. They parted with regret, promising to meet again. . But for that purpose it was necessary to deceive the vigi lance of the mother and Lady Warding; and re course was had to the woman Dumas, or rather. it was she, according to the complaint against her, who offered her interference. A lemonade shop in the Faubourg-du-Roule was to serve as the place of rendezvous. There they could find a private room, where they might converse .with out interruption ; but the time during which they could enjoy this liberty was too limited. A feigned letter was written to Madame L. T.,.ad dressed to t h e l a tt e r by Lady W ar di ng . I n t hi s letter, which Anais maintains to have been Ni\vlriatateaimibe L.

A communication, from Sutherlandshire, in terms of re solutions entered into by that county, and recently pub lished in this paper, on the subject of re-opening the drove roads throughout the Highlands, was laid before the meet ing. this important question Mr. Macqueen W. S. observe& that the resolutions of the county of Sutherland proceeded on a mistake in point of law, which appeared the more remarkable, as the Fitst Division of the Court of Session had recently decided in a question at the instance 'Of the Sutherland Association against Mr. Mackenzie of Ardross,, that a populer right of. Drove-road is not, main tainable in Scotland. That powerful Association had se . leCted Mr. Mackenzie, in order to try upon him the experi ment of snaking his estate a thoroughfare for. cattle, and they not only maintained a right of passage but of Pastur age. The .Court of Seision : rejected these claims, and found the Association liable in expenses to Mr. Mackenzie. The recent Acts' of Parliament, 'authorising the forMation anew roads, contain the most express powers-to shut up the old ones; and any atteuipt 'to restore them is surely not to be encouraged by counties which would be exposed to :such, an intolerable grievance. Mr. Macqueen added that he was intimately acquainted with the subject, having acted for Mr. Mackenzie against the Association ; and he conceived that nothing could be clearer than the inexpedi ency and illegality of re-opening the Drove-road. Where upon, the Meeting. ordered .the communication from the county of Sutherland to lie upon the table. THE HIGHLAND ROAD. Agreeably to the notice given by Mr. GRANT, younger, of Rothiemurchus, at the meeting of 80th April last, Mr. G. broUght before the meeting a series of resolutions proposed by him and circulated among the heritors, on the subject of conveying the mails by the Highland road ; and these resolutions having been read, Mr. Grant moved that they should be adopted by the meeting, which motion was se conded by Macleod of Macleod ; whereupon Mr. Mackin tosh of Raigmore, moved that this important matter, and the resolutions now read, be remitted back to the Committee appointed to consider the same. That Com mittee being understood to have the matter under consi deration for a.great length of time without doing much, the meeting appointed a new one, consisting of Mr. Grant of Druinmere, M.P.; Macleod Of Macleod, Mr. Tytler, Provost Grant, Mr. Gilzeari, Dr. Robertson, Mr. Mac queen, W.S., Captain Fraser of Balnain, Mr. Grant of Lakefield ; Mr. Grant, younger, of Rothieunirchus, Con vener; with power to prepare a Meniorial to the Lords of the Treasury upon the subject. - The other business before tile meeting was of a routine nature, and of little public i mportance. —lnver ness Courier.

He thinks, that'if popu lation be allowed to increase, according to its natu ral tendency, vice and misery must, of necessity, continually follow in its train ; while, on the con trary, the conviction on my mind is, that, under an enlightened organization of society, founded on the known laws of , our nature, population may be-per mitted to increase, according to its natural tendency; and every addition to its increase will bring with it the • means to acquire more leisure for all, more wealth ; more knowledge, and to multiply happiness in proportion to the numbers brought into existence, until the whole earth shall have been so well clad.' tivated, that 'no greater product can be obtained from it, and then, and then only, a stop must boput to any further increase of mankind. The cause .of this difference of opinion between individuals, conscientiously. desirous of discovering the truth, I have, endeavoured to ascertain. It seems to me that Mr. Malthus views man in his for mer state, unaided by science and a knowledge ,of himself; while I draw my conclusions from man as he now is overwhelmed with artificial means of pro duction, derived from scientific improvements, still capable of unlimited increase, and also in possession of a knowledge of his nature, derived from an accu rate attention to facts-, by which , he has become com petent to I rain his progeny to attain a very superior character, so as indeed to become beings of a higher order. But upon this, and other subjects of great national and general interest, I will, in due time, de velop my sentiments fully to the public ; for, with the means now at the control of all governments, the mass of the population of the world ought not much longer to remain in its present wretched and de graded condition.

Ainong the heroes of the monastic life, the name and genius of Simeon Stylites have been immortali zed by the singular invention of an serial penance. At the age of 13, the young Syrian deserted the profession of a shepherd, and threw himself into an austere monastery._ After a long and painful noviciate, in which Simeon was repeatedly saved from pious suicide, he established his re sidence on a mountain, SO or 40 miles to the east of. Antioch. Within the space of a usandra, or circle of stones, to which he had attached himself by a ponderous chain, he ascended a column, which was successively raised from the height of 9 to that of 60 feet from th e ground. In this last and lofty station, the Syrian An choret resisted the heat of SO summers, and the cold of as many winters. Habit and exercise instructed him to main tan his dangerous situation without fear or giddiness, and successively to assume the different postures of devotion.— He sometimes prayed' in an erect attitude, with his out stretched arms in the figure of a cross; but his moat fa miliar practice was that of bending his meagre skeleton from the forehead to the feet; and a curious spectator, after numbering 1,244 repetitions, at length . desisted from the endless account. The progress of an ulcer in his thigh might shorten, but it could not disturb, this celestial life; and the patient hermit expired, without descending from his column. The exaltation of Lord Cawdor to the Earl dom of Emlyn will recall to many of our readers one of the most curious occurrences in the whole of the late war, and at the same time an event equally creditable to the humanity, and honour able to the courage of the inhabitants of Wales. We allude - to the landing of several hundred of the French army under the command of General Tate, at Fishguard, in Pembrokeshire, in 1797. The father of the present Earl, then Mr. Price Campbell, having put himself at the head of a small party of the Pembrokeshire Yeomanry Ca.: valry, and the other gentlemen of the county hav ing gathered what local forces were at hand, of fered battle to the invaders on the Goodwich Sands, near Fishguard. The French, not re lishing the appearance of the Ancient Britons, sent offers of surrender, and the whole, to thc:. amount of 1,400 men, were made prisoners of war. Mr.,Camphell was created Lord Cawdor, for his conduct on this occasion ; and the militia and yeomanry of Wales received great praise for their courage and moderation. The affair is thus related in - Scott's Life of Napoleon Bonaparte " W e have found some curious, particulars respecting Tate's descent in the Memoirs of Theobald Wolfe Tone. one of the unfortunate and misguided gentlemen who were engaged in the rebellion of 1796, and who, being taken en his return to Ireland with a French expedition, was con demned and executed there. The author, for whom w, entertain much compassion, seems to have been a gallant light-headed Irishman, his head full of scraps of plays, and his heart in a high fever on account of the supposed wrong. which his country had sustained at the hands of Great Bri tain. His, hatred, indeed, had arisen to a pitch whirl, seems to have surprised himself. Nothing less than the total destruction of Bristol was expected from Tate and his merry men, who had been industriously picked out as the greatest reprobates of the French army. We have that son of opinion of citizen Wolfe Tone, which leads us to think lit would have wept heartily had he been forced to witness the havoc of which he seems ambitious to be an instrument. The violence of his expressions only shows how civil war ano political fiery can deform and warp the moral feelin.s. But we should have liked to have seen Pat's countenance when he learned that the Black Baud had laid down their arms to a handful of Welsh backed by the appear• ance of a body of market women, with red cloaks (such wilt • the fact), whom they took for the head of a supporting column. Even their attempts at pillage, in which the) were supposed so dexterous, were foiled by the exertions o the sons of Owen Glendower.

Such was the event of th e i nea .. siou."—Vol. 9.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. Had Sir Wm. Best confined his censure to the raking up of private weaknesses and vices in order to ridicule them, we should have heartily concurred with him. The press is mischievously and culpably employed when it invades the privacy of individuals, and holds up their weak points to the ridicule of the thoughtless and un feeling. Were this permitted by the law, so ciety would be torn to pieces; but this is a very different thing from making merry at the expense of a game-preserving justice caught in his own trap, a sharking lawyer over-reaching himself, or a hungry bailiff getting into a scrape by . an im pudent intrusion. Matters narrated in pOlice reports, or disclosed in trials, are very fair sub jects for ridicule ; and it would be no more ab surd to pass a. law to restrain people froin mak ing themselves . ridiculotti, than to, punish them for laughingat the ridiculous in others. As for this particular case of Lori—(who broke into a lady s bed-room, while in search of a gentleman, and had to pay damages for the .trespass)—Sir W. Best was assuredly suffering from a twinge of the gout, or a fit of indigestion, when he was luckless -, ehough to make a stand upon it against the laughers. It is in fact aii extreme case to prove the folly• of his own doctrine - !, Here was' a man who 'had' been ConiictecLof a breach of propriety, bringing an action against 'it - Pi:inter for publishing • a humorous narrative in verse of the peCeadillo, and . seeking damages under pre tence that his character was defamed, and his business likely to be injured, by, the ridicule; though all the world knows that if such a Joke could have any serious effect, it would tend to benefit a bailiff by exhibiting him as a bold and adventurous practitioner. To see poor Chief- Justice Best - floundering about in the absurdity of a doctrine grounded upon this supremely ri diculous and pettifogging case, is almost beyond the .laughable---it becomes really pitiable.
