RESPONSIBILITY OF PROPRIETORS AND EDITORS. TO THE GENTLEMEN CONNECTED WITH THE PRESS. (From the Dublin Morning Post.) " The Patriot will stand, as a sleepless sentinel, beside the public press, to see that its rights be not invaded, and he will be compassionate for those peccadilloes which are always inseparable from human agency, and from mo mentary excitation."—School for Patriots. As the Author of the Royal Code of Honour, which has been sanctioned by the highest authorities in Europe, I request your prompt co-operation in the establishment of a Court of Honour, for the examination of such cases as that which has so recently occurred. A Court may, at any tithe, be formed with facility, out of such professional and private gentlemen as may be mu tually chosen by the principals or seconds, or the register of such a Court may summon, at the request of any gentle man a panne!, composed of such professional and private gentlemen, as may avow their readiness to act on such oc casions, and as the Ouzel Galley Club do in commercial ar bitrations. Au appeal to such a Court, in the case of Mr. Brie would have saved the life of a fellow-citizen, for it would have instantly recommended that very trifling reparation, which a few hasty words between the zealous partizans of Messrs. Hutchinson and Callaghan demanded. In the recent case, such a Court might be called upon to say— _ _ Ist. Whether the Proprietor or Editor of a Paper is re sponsible for examining with freedom the conduct of a pub lic body or a public man ? 2d. Who is responsible to the laws of honour—The gen tleman who owns a paper, or the Editor by whom it is conducted ? I have collected several hundred duelling cases, and I re collect but one in which a Proprietor who had an Editor, assumed responsibility at the hazard of his life. That was a case in which Mr. Barron gratuitously became responsi ble for the article of a correspondent, which article was not submitted to his Editor. The case of Messrs. Barron and Sargent was another of those which might have beep adjusted by a Court of Ho nour. Such a Court would not have justified eight shots between two persons who gratuitously placed themselves in the shoes of a father and a clergyman. If I have chosen a motto from a publication of my own, it is to justify my present trespass on the Press, whose pro prietors are only amenable to the eriminal'and civil courts, in which clean-handed suitors may obtain redress for any gross attack upon their reputation. I shall be happy to record the names of such professional and private gentlemen as may be willing to act upon a Court of Honour, upon any future case, and have the honour to be a friend to the freedom of the Press, as well as of courtesy in its indulgence.

ATETEOROLOGICAL PHENOMEIst.A.----LIS- Bos, s m . 15.—1 forgot to mention in my last the ap pearance of one of the most extraordinary and curious me teorological phenomena here, on the night of the 7th inst., at 35 minutes past 11 at night. It had the aspect of the meteor, called a falling star, with the di ff e rence that it was at least 20 times larger than those common exhalations, and that its brilliancy and size threw such a strong and dense light that it eclipsed the brightness of the moon. The interior of the hou , es 'was lighted by it fior several seconds, as by the effect of lightning. It appeared over the Tagus, and took its course first in the direction from the Blackhorse-square (Praca de Commercio) to the village of BarreirO,. on the opposite shore, and then it took the south-west direction, apparently as far, and in a perpendi cular line with the anchorage of the Englis h line. Just before its explosion, its colour became reddish, two minutes after the hollow sound of distlt like that of fire, and then it burst like a rocket. About effect heard for several seconds, but this sound t thunder produces in the mountains : I' continuous, and not at all of the loud and detonati thunder ships of wasthe vas . with l ts b it.hi e sofdeffet I t' v h 7 a o st fmuol,reanlidkeitas s g u l b ob te e rra ra n i e l ou e s xa r c o t a i r y . l ' l l ia a nc wor ' s beauti ful,wa appearance of a comet.

PERSONAL SKETCHES OF HIS OWN TIMES, By Sir JONAH BARRINGTON. 2 Vole. London. 1827. We have been unusually tardy in our notice of these volumes for this especial reason, that taken en . masse they form a banquet of such a strange .heterogenous complexion, in which the viands are so unaccountably tough and revolting to an ordinary stomach, that it has taken us not less , 'than two months properly to digest them. Even now we are suffering under indisposition, occasioned by an ineffectual attempt to swallow one of the most piquant anecdotes, which, like illatheth's Amen, has, we fear, irretriev ably stuck in our throat. Sir Jonah, to use an expression of Sam Foote,' is " more poetic in his prose" than any traveller on record. —The consequence of all this is, that his two volumes are, from first to last, replete with amusement : there is actually not a dull page in the whole of them. No sooner have we despatched 'one marvel than another is close at hand to amuse us. In the--very third chapter, for instance, a few pages only from the Preface, we have an account of a gentleman's ears being cut off and put into a snuff box (quite "by misinterpretation.") In cap. 5, a Doctor Jenkins is represented as pier ing an Admiral's fist with a fork in mistake for a French roll. In cap. 6, two Irishmen's heads were frozen into a wall of half dried plaster, where they stuck fast .(and may probably be sticking at the present moment.) In cap. 8, a Mr. Lanegan, after having been " hanged and quartered at Dublin," calls upon an old acquaint ance in Devereux-court, London. In cap. 11, a red hot Orangeman mistakes his wife for a rebel, and nearly strangles her. In cap. 12, Sir Jonah himself, on.waking up from a night's rest, at a village inn, finds his head down and his heels upwards— , -a picturesque, but by no means grace ful position. lii cap. 21, , a priest is cut in two by a portcullis, and partly eaten up by - a gentleman named Waddy (he must have had a surprising appetite, seeing that clergymen, according to the New Zealand notion, are but tough eating). In cap. 27, Lord Norbury, at the Carlow Assizes, takes his seat on the. Bench in a masquerade dress, consisting of " green tabinet, with mother of pearl buttons, striped yellow and black waist coat, and buff breeches," (we could fancy Lord Eldon seated on the woolsack in this trim.) In cap. 32;---but it is useless to enter further into de tails on the subject of the marvels in which these volumes abound, let it suffice to say that the very least of them " out-herods Herod." We give the following as an amusingly characteristic extract : On driving to the cottage-door I found it open, whilst a dozen-dogs; of different descriptions, showed ready to re ceive us not in the most polite manner. My servant's whip, however, soon sent them about their business, and I ventured into ttiC parlour to see what cheer. It was about ten in the inorriinc , : the room was strewed with empty bottles—some broken—some interspersed with glasses, plates, dishes, knives, spoons, &c. all in glorious confusion. Here and there were heaps of bones, relics of the former day's entertainment, which the dogs, seizing their opportu nity, had cleanly picked. Three or four of the Bacchana lians lay fast asleep upon chairs—one or two others on the floor, among whom a piper lay on his back, apparently dead, with a table-cloth spread over him, and surrounded by four or five candles, burnt to the sockets ; his chanter and bags were laid scientifically across his body, his mouth was quite open, and his nose made ample amends for the silence of his drone. Joe Kelly and a Mr. Peter Alley were fast asleep in their chairs, close to the wall. Had 1 never viewed such a scene before, it would have almost terrified me ; but it was nothing more than the ordinary custom which we called waking the piper, when he had got too drunk to make any more music. I went out, and sent away my carriage and its inmate to Castle Durrow, whence we had come, and afterwards proceeded to seek my brother. Nu servant was to be seen, man or woman. I went to the stables, wherein I found three or fbur more of the goodly company, who had just been able to reach their horses, but were seized by Mor pheus before they could ►nount them, and so lay in the mangers awaiting a more favourable opportunity. Re turning hence to the cottage, I found my brother, also asleep, on the only bed which it then afforded : he had no occasion to put on his clothes., since he had never taken them off. I nest waked Dan Tyron, a wood-ranger of Lord Ash brook, who had acted as maitre &hotel in making the ar rangements, and providing a horse-load of game to fill up the banquet. I then inspected the parlour, and insisted on breakfast. Dan Tyron set to work : an old woman was called in from an adjoining cabin, the windows were opened, the room cleared, the floor swept, the relics re moved, and the fire lighted in the kitchen. The piper was taken away senseless, but my brother would not suffer either Joe or Alley to be disturbed till breakfast was ready. No time was lost; and, after a very brief interval, we had be fore us abundance of fine eggs, and milk fresh from the cow, with brandy, sugar and nutmeg in plenty ; a l arge loaf, fresh butter, a cold round of beef, which had not been produced on the previous day, red herrings, and a ho w l dish of potatoes roasted on the turf ashes ;—in addition to which, ale, whiskey, and port made up the refreshments. All being duly in order, we at length awakened Jos Kelly, and Peter Alley, his neighbour : they had slept soundly, though with no other pillow than the wall ; a n d my brother announced breakfast with a view halm: is The twain immediately started and roared in 'unison with their host most tremendously ! it was, however, in a very different tone from the view halloa,—Rild perpetuated much longer. " Come, boys," says French, giving Joe a pull,— " come !" " Oh, murder !" says Jee, " I can't !"—" Murder ! murder !" echoed Peter.—French pulled them again, upon which they roared tin: more, still retaining their places.--- I have in my lifetime laughed till I nearly became spas fore, bad o n ly tension than upon this occasion. The wall, as I saill,be: f but never were my risible muscles put to g reater sad comae was quite soft and yielding, when; Joe andneverthe thought Proper to make it their pillow ; -t w as that day received a coat of mortar, less settin g fast from the heat and lights_ of aneighteenbrother hours' carousal ; and, in the morning' al amate their hair being the thing most calculated to amalgamate his g therewith, the entire of Joe's stock, together with bedded ueu e , awakened his guests, the mortar had completely set, set, and and half hi s head, was thoroughly and irrecoverably if deter mined to move, he must have taken the wall along with One side of Peter's head him, for separate it would not. in the greedy and now marble cement, so that Was in the s a me state of imprisonment. Nobody was able to assist them and there they both stuck fast. A conclusion was now held on this pitiful case, which I maliciously endeavoured to prolong as much as I could, and which was, in fact, every now and then interrupted by a roar from Peter or Joe, as they made fresh efforts to rise. At length, it was proposed by Dan Tyron to send for the stone-cutte r , and get him to cut them out of the wall with a chisel. I was literally unable to speak two sentences for laughin g . 'The old woman meanwhile tried to soften the obdurate wall with melted butter and new milk—but in vain. I related the school story how Hannibal had worked through the Alps with hot vinegar and hot irons : this experiment likewise was made, but Hannibal's solvent had no better success than the old crone's. Peter, being of a more passionate nature, grew ultimately quite out rageous : he roared, gnashed his teeth, and swore ven geance against the mason;—but as he was only held by one side, a thought at last struck him : he asked for two knives, which being brought, he whetted one against the other, and introduced the blades close to his skull, sawed away at cross corners till he was liberated, with the loss of only half his hair, and a piece of his scalp, which he had sliced off in zeal and haste for his liberty.

Fur was scraped from the crown of a hat, to stop the bleeding ; his head was duly tied up with the old woman's praskeen ;* and he was soon in a state of bodily convalescence. Our solicitude was now required solely for Joe, whose head was too deeply buried to be exhumated with so much facility. At this moment, Bob Casey, of Ballyda'kill, a very Celebrated wig maker, just dropped in, to see what he could pick up honestly in the way of his profession, or steal in the way of any thing else ; and he immediately undertook to get Mr. Kelly out of the mortar by a very expert but tedious process, namely,--clihing with his scissors and then rooting our with an oyster knife.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE UNDER-SHERIFF'S COURT-GLOUCESTER. WEIGHT V. WEEKEE. Mr. STONE stated that this was a writ of inquiry, .under which the Jury were called upon to . say what damages the plaintiff had sustained by a breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff was only eigh teen, she possessed very great personal attractions, and was, very much admired. The defendant was a man of very considerable property, and of the mature age of fifty—an age at which a man ought to know what he was doing. However. in this case, it would appear that the defendant's object was the seduction of the plaintiff. It would be proved that in the summer of 1826, the defendant made advances to the plaintiff, and offered her marriage. The plaintiff did not accept him at first, but atter a little time consented to marry him. The defendant then tried by every means in his power to inveigle the plain tiff to his house, but although she went there two or three times, it was always in the company of some third person.. The defendant proposed making a set tlement of part of his property upon her, and a per son named Proctor, who had since left the country, was instructed to draw a settlement accordingly. The settlement was drawn and shown to the plain tiff, for the purpose of deluding her, and what spoke volumes against the defendant was, that the settle ment was not worth a farthing, as it was drawn on a wrong stamp. Still the defendant could not suc ceed in his guilty purpose; and the•further to carry on his schemes, he actually measured the plaintiff's finger for the wedding-ring, and ordered his own wedding-clothes, but still the modest prudence of the plaintiff shielded her from his attempts, as she would never go to his house except with a third per son, and the defendant perceiving that he was not likely to succeed in his wicked purposes, without assigning any reason whatever, broke off the match. The - se were the facts, and he would ask the Jury whe ther any damages could be too great to be awarded against a man of fifty, who set about the deliberate seduction of a young girl of eighteen, by such means as had been used. Mr. Samuel Trotman said—l know the plaintifi and the defendant. In June '1826 the plaintiff was at my house. The defendant paid attentions to her. He wished to pay his addresses to her, but she - would then have nothing to do with him, and would not even shake hands with him. Afterwards she became reconciled to him, and she received his ad dresses. Cross-examined by Air. CARRINGTON.--The plaintiff despised him at first. She held him in the greatest contempt. I know a young man named Tilley. He comes sometimes to my house, but not very often. He is about nineteen or twenty years of age. Priscilla Weight said—The plaintiff, Jemima Weight, is my daughter. In December 1826, I saw the defendant. Ile said he should like to marry my daughter if she were willing. Ilis whole conversa tion was about her. He said if she was willing to marry him, he would settle his property upon her. After this a marriage settlement was prepared. The defendant asked my daughter to go to his house to see what things were wanting there. She went to his house, but never by herself. Her brother-in-law . . went with her on one occasion, and her sister on another. I saw the defendant on the 7th of March, in the present year. He then said I hare altered my mind. I shall not make any property over, and will have no more to do with it. Since that my daughter's health has not been so good as it was before. She has been fretting much about the old man, and since her being deserted by him, I see her in tears very often. Cross-examined.—Sh e cries because an old man of more than double her own age would not mercy her. Her health is seriously affected by losing such a husband. She did hold him in the most perfect contempt, when he first paid attentions to her; but she liked him when she had consented to become his wife. I never heard her say that she never would live with such an old fellow ; and I never heard her say that if she had married him she would have got his money, and left him to go to live in London. Mr. John Workman said—ln March last the plain tiff arid defendant were at my house. The defendant wanted to settle his property on the plaintiff, and the former gave directions to Mr. Proctor to draw it. Mr. Proctor has since that left his residence, and I don't know where he is. The defendant wanted the plaintiff to come to his house on the following Sunday. The old man complained that he could never get her there by herself, and that three was no company. I have heard the defendant say that his property is unencumbered. He had done business for me; he was a man in credit now felt quit e the tphl Cross- e d x j: t a ti invoat was d ki - aotmhr,aetac recommended rn) s n t ee a k i pd t oeudnmd relationr.of stamp oProctor. was and have t. reason m s orn. correct e t o suppose ß f ß o fr a m Na To t a N l r r , r a i t ag t h e for e settlement,the defendant knewdefendant, sure that the Jury would see that the defendant's property was really the object of attack in this case, and would feel that if the plaintiff's parants had acted properly towards their child, they would have been the first to prevent a marriage so unequal in point of years. With regard to the alleged attempt at seduction, he was quite confident that the Jury would see that that charge was wholly without adefendant person ers o nt : en an in d foundation. It was rather late in the day for a man who had reached 50 years of age to begin the trade of a seducer. With regard to the settlement being on a wrong stamp, that was caused by the person whether the stamp was wrong from accident or de who preparedthc recommended,i t l , vr a o r n i and g S n a thr l bp ty b; t , the defendant, but sign, it was proved that . the person who drew the b c‘lr y 'reid o tii t nt le ga o no f idi the plaintiff's own relations. The plaintiff, as it was admitted on all hands, was much admired; and there was no doubt that she would marry some one much more suitable to her than the defendant ever could be. The Jury, after remaining in consultation for two hours, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1351.

AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Glects, Seminal Weakness, Strictures, Eruptions, and Nocturnal Pain 4, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a'variety of highly interesting cases, together with the Miseries of a secret Vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found the unfailing source of Barrenness, the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in Impotence; these are its remote and ultimate effects, while Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and various Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of which a mode of treatment, the result of lon g and success ful practice, and at one. ;safe, speedy, and effectual, is adopted by the Author. With concluding remarks on the evils resulting from attempts at Self Cure. Principiis obsta ; sero medicina paratur. By G. R. COURTENAY, M.D., Robert-street, Adelphi.

Now, iw I fairly avow the ignorance under which I labour- • ed, and still do labour under, of the sin, either of supporting, or looking at a race, I purchased this sermon, and there found, that the Incum bent of Cheltenham had roundly sent to the devil all those who frequented either race-courses or. play-houses. Gentlemen; I cannot believe this to be the true doctrine of the Church of England ; and without taking upon myself to - prove that it is not, I will affirm, that if it is, the Kings, Lords, (spiritual as well as tempo ral) and Commons, of this realm, have more to answer for than they probably are aware of; 'for, not only have they been guilty of conniving . at, and tolerating these strong-holds of Satan, but, deliberately, and in the plenitude of their legis lative wisdom, have they passed Acts of Parlia ment for the special encouragement and protection both of races and play-houses ; and yet no one Bishop has been found who has even remonstrated or protested, in the House of Lords, against the passing of Acts which, according to this doctrine, can accomplish no other object than the of consigning thousands of souls to eternal perdi tion. If this be true, and that the " Ministers of God are set as the watchmen of the Church," I cannot, will not believe, that, out of twenty four Bishops and two Archbishops —among whom names are to be found as illustrious for their learning, zeal, and true piety, as for their detestation of cant and hypocrisy—not one would come forward, nay, that in a body they would ' not have risen to endeavour, at least, to put down that which it was their bounden and solemn duty to crush, by every means in their power. And this neglect on their part is the more unpardon able, as the seats of their Bishoprics are, with very few exceptions, the scenes of these Races, and consequently the evils arising from them must be periodically placed before their eyes. Notwith standing which, they have been wholly passive, arid have taken no steps to save the souls of those entrusted to their care, from this pernicious in fluence. As for his Grace the Archbishop of York, poor gentleman he ought to look upon himself as a kind of joint tenant of the See with Beelzebub ; for, in that city, they have their Spring Meetings, their August Meetings, &c. with all the pride, pomp, and circumstance of Newmarket itself; and yet I have not heard, that any of the Dignitaries of the Church objected to a translation to the Archbishopric on account of the Races, or that, when there, they pointed out to the venerable, (and, I may truly add, vene rated,) Earl Fitzwilliam, the wickedness he was - guilty of, in running for a King's Plate, or the still greater enormity that lay at his Majesty,s door, in giving such plate to be run for. Nay, if the doctrines of this Clergyman are correct, there must be a most lamentable laxity of dis cipline in the spiritual corps, if the Archbishop of Canterbury has failed in convincing the King, .that every time his Majesty commands a play at Drury-lane or Covent-Garden, (by the bye, the Proprietors of these two places have letters patent l g But te n e d the Divines for the corruption of souls !) or goes to Ascot Races, to say nothing ofthe danger he incurs him self, he is actually giving incitement to th e fi en d to t er ie s s n e ar t e ru l l i y is p l i i o eg u e s saiiilbdjecenht aknowthat well the value ofa race : they know that there is no animal in the world like the English race-horse : they know that, without races, there would be no race-horse ; that without the race-horse, we should lose that superiority in our breed of hothes, which distinguishes us from the rest of Europe ; that, to this superiority, we were mainly indebted for our successes in the Peninsular - war ; and, finally, when they returned thanks to Providence for the glories of the field of Waterloo, they did not for get the share the British cavalry had in the events of that day. For myself, gentlemen, I do not mean to claim any weight for my own private opinions. They are, however, totally unswayed by personal feeling : I support Races solely be cause I believe them to be a national good, never having been master of a race-horse in my lif e , nor ever having won or lost 501. on a racing bet. On the subj.:et of Theatricals, I admit I cannot plead the same personal indifference : but I am inclined to think that the great body of the or thodox Church of England tlo not apprehend the same baleful effects from them as de nounced in the publication I have men tioned. If they do, the D ean and Chapter of 'Westminster, at least, must live in a con tinual state of holy horror, and the former guardians of the Abbey must have slept on their posts : for there, numbered among the illustrious dead, we find the names of Ben Jonson, Beau mont, Fletcher, Cumberland, Davenant, Dryden, and Conreve, recorded all, with one exception, for having written nothing else but plays ; and , sleepi ng i n th e same solemn sanctuary, are the mortal remains of Booth, Garrick, and Hender son, placed there for no other reason but that they had distinguished themselves by acting plays ! I trust, Gentlemen, that you will not think I have taken up your time with too long sermon ; but I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that I shall never see the time when an Englishman shall be reduced to such a state of mental degradation, as to believe that he cannot see a race run, nor a play of Shakespeare acted, without having reason to dread the vengeance of offended Heaven.
