What encouragement is given to men to exert themselves in their respec tive parishes, if their Bishop—that Bishop who affects such an interest for them (what an inte rest he really feels well, we know, for we are deeper in the heart and the intellect character of Blomfield than he is aware)—what encourage ment, we repeat it, to exert themselves have they, if these old schoolmasters, with hearts un warmed by a long parochial intercourse, are to usurp all those prizes in the Church, the un questionable meed of those in her—not half out, half in, as these tutors unquestionably are, who have bestowed their attention for a long current of years on subjects wholly alien to clerical pur suits. Each man has his walk ; if, in the pre sent day, lie attains to competency in any direc tion not inconsistent with the clerical character, he should there remain ; or, if he change, come to the exchange with undivided attention, with a concentration of every energy, physical and mental, to the high calling that is his. No one can tell how much evil this !nixed character has wrought to the Church; it is onsr equalled by the mixed functions of the pluralist, than which nothing has done deeper injury to her, by the mixed functions of Bishop of one place, Dean of another, Prependary of a third or fourth. Let each man have his vocation ; let him be promo ted for that vocation, and the Church will widely alter its present disfigured lineaments.—Merle's Weekly Register. THE BOOKSELLING TRADE.

The refection took place at Pwlheley, and Jones received the votes. He entered the votes tendered for Sir Charles Paget, one of the candi dates; and the agents of Mr. Nally, the other can didate, objected to many of the said votes, on the ground that they had not been registered. Jones i held the book in his hand, and marked them off as I registered, notwithstanding the protest of the other parties. The book in the usual way was trara , - milted to the other returning officers, David Roland and Griffith Davis, at Car narvon, and they took them as summed up by Jones, without inquiry into the registration, giving each vote to the name of the individual voter. It was contended that these tran sactions proved the existence of a conspiracy. Mt. Nally also complained that he had been put to the expense of a petition to the House of Commons, and therefore sought the interposition of that Court.

William Read, chief constable of Leeds, on Thursday week was walking through the streets at Leeds, when he saw the prisoner walking about in a bewildered manner, and knowing he was a stranger he suspected that " all was not right," and he questioned him, on which he an swered him evasively. On slapping his pockets the so vereigns rattled, and being convinced from his agitation and manner that he had committed a robbery and was absconding, he felt himself justified in taking him into custody, when he searched him, and found the one hun dred sovereigns now produced in a b ag , t wo 10/. notes , and checks drawn on Hammersley and Co., Goulding, &e. Witness wrote to London and ascertained that Mr. Fisher bad been robbed, and the prisoner made a full con fession to him, stating that he had met a young man whom he knew, and having heard the sovereigns rattle in the box, be told him that he had money to receive at Leeds, but had no means of getting down there, and if he (the prisoner) would open the box and take out the money, in order that they might go down together, he wouid divide the money he had to receive with him, and he should be right. He took a place on the Union coach, and started off with him, having delivered the box with a fresh pad lock to the coachman at the office where it was directed. There was another:person with the prisoner, but he escaped, having nine sovereigns in his pocket.

ANECDOTE OF BuRKE.--During one of the debates on the affairs of America, HARTLEY, the Dlem• ber for Hull, alter having driven four-fifths of a very full house from the benches by an unusually dull speech, at length requested that the Riot Act might be read, for the purpose of elucidating one of his propositions. BURKE, who was impatient to address the House himself, imme diately started up and exclaimed, " The Riot Act, my dearest friend, why in the name of every thing that's sacred have the Riot Act read? The mob, you see, is already dispersed !" Peals of laughter followed the utter ance of this comic appeal, which Lord Nottrir frequently declared to be one of the happiest instances of wit he ever heard.— Georgian Era. PRACTICAL JOKE RETORTED.--AII unfor tunate beggar woman came into a shop the other day, and asked the master for relief. He, wishing to play a joke upon an acquaintance who was present, said to her," Ask that gentleman, he's the master." She immediately turned to him, with " Will you honour spare a trifle for a poor distressed woman? ' " Are you really in distress?" said the gentleman. " Indeed, Sir, lam in sad distress." " Well, then, give her twopence out of the till," said he to the master, and immediately walked out. In vain the master protested that he was himself She would not be lieve him, but per tinaciously urge d her request, saying, " The master said you was to give me twopence, and in deed it's very bard if I don't get it." He was obliged to give it to rid himself of the annoyance. PARTAKING OF A THEATRICAL ENTER TAINMENT.—The following is an account of a ludicrous scene which took place at the Bowery, on the night of the celebration of the evacuation : BOOTH played Richard the Third, and the house was crammed to such an extent that an avalanche of spectators broke from the pit, and covered the orchestra and the greatest part of the stage. By rea sonable computation there were about 330 persons on the stage and wings alone—soldiers in fatigue dresses— officers with side•arms—a few jolly tars, and a number of" apple-munching urchins." The scene was indescri bably ludicrous. BOOTII played in his best style, and was really anxious to make a hit, but the confusion incidental to such a crowd on the stage occasioned constant and most humourous interruptions. It was everything or any thing but a tragedy. In the scene with Lady Anne, a scene so much admired for its address, the gallery spec tators amused themselves by throwing pennies and silver on the stage, which occasioned an immense scramble among the boys, and they frequently ran between King Richard and Lady Anne to snatch a stray copper. In the tent scene, es solemn and so impressive, several curious amateurs went up to the table, took up the crown, poised the heavy sword, and examined all the regalia with gr eat care, while Richard was in agony from the terr i ble dream ; and when the scene changed, discovering the gh os t s of Kin g H enr y, L a d y A nne , and children, it was diffi cult to select them from the crowd who thrust their faces and persons among the royal shadows. The battle of Bos worth-field capped the climax—the audience mingled with the soldiers, and raced across the stage, to the shouts of the people, the roll of the drums, and the bellowing of the trumpets ; and when the fight between Richard and Richmond came on, they made a ring round the combat ants to see lair play, and kept them at it for nearly a qtr tr ter of an hour by " Shrewsbury clock." This was all done in perfect good humour, and with no intention to make a row. When Mr. Rice. came on to sing his cele brated song of " Jim Crow," they not only made him repeat it some 20 times, but hemmed him in so that he actually had no room to perform the little dancing or turn ing about appertaining to the song ; and in the afterpiece, where a supper table is spread, some among the most hun gry very leisurely helped themselves to the viands. It was a rare treat indeed to the audience and manager.— New York Paper. This was a❑ action on a bond, tried before Mr. Baron BOLLAND, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff, subject to a motion to set it aside and enter a nonsuit, if the bond should be found to be without a proper stamp. A rule was afterwards obtained for that purpose. The condition of the bond was for the payment of different sums of money as they should respectively become due, so that these sums together should not exceed 1,000/, and it was stamped with a stamp of .51. By the 55th George 111., c. 184, a bond given to secure the payment of any definite sum of money exceeding 500/., and not ceeding 1,0001., is subjected to a stamp duty of Si. By the same statute it was enacted, that " where the total amount of the money secured, or to be ul timately recoverable, shall be uncertain, and without any limit," the stamp duty should be 25/.; and " where the money secured, or to be ultimately re coverable, shall be limited not to exceed a given sum," the same duty was imposed " as on a bond for such limited sum." The question was, under which of these clauses the present bond must be held to fall. There was another question, as to the sufficiency of the evidence at the trial with regard to the construction of the bond. After evidence had been adduced, the rule was discharged. INSOLVENT COURT, JAN. 24. James Duggan was opposed by Mr. CHADWICKE JONES, on behalf of the detaining ci editors.- • It appeared that this Insolvent, who was unde fended, took the benefit of the Act for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors in 1822, and that he availed himself of it a second time in 1829. In his pre sent petition to be discharged a third time, he ad mitted the insolvency of 1829, in his schedule, but suppressed all mention of that of 1822; which the Learned Counsel urged against him as fatal; and the Chief Commissioner, having concurred in this -pinion, dismissed the order for hearing, observing that the creditors of an insolvent were entitled to know, in the fullest manner, what sort of a career he had run. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILDHALL. ALLEGED CONSPIRACY TO OBTAIN REWARDS FROM THE MINT.-Yesterday a young man named Thoma s Perkins, who has a dropped or perished hand, was brought before Mr. Alderman BIRCH. On Saturday last an old man, who resided in Grey hound-place, opposite the Greyhound, Kennineton Com mon, and who used to get his living by selling fruit or birds on the Kennington. road, was committed for having counterfeit money in his possession. The only evidence against him was that of two of the city policemen, named Sc,tt and Protheroe, who stated, that in consequence of private information that two men, who had base coin in ;heir possession, were standing on Holborn hill, about seven o'clock on Thursday they repaired to that place,with the informant, who pointed out the prisoner as one of the men, and said the other had gone away. They told the prisoner that they thought he had something improper about him. He denied it, and they proceeded to search hint. When they came to his hat they found within the lining three papers, one containing a base half-crown, and the others two base shillings in each. The prisoner then cried out, "I am done." At the first examination Scott only attended, and he did not mention the latter expression, but he raid he believed be should be able to show, if the prisoner was remanded, that he had been offering to pass bad money. At the second hearing he did not bring any evidence of that na• ture, nor did he produce his secret informant, but be called Protheroe, another policeman, who said he accompanied him, and corroborated what he had stated. The prisoner's defence was, that a man came to his house at Kennington, and asked him if he had a cock linnet to sell, as, if he bad, he could find him a customer in town who would give him a good price. Pri,oner was glad of the opportunity to turn a penny, and readily accompanied the man to Holborn-hill, promising if he got hill-a-crown for the bird, he would give the fellow a shilling for himself. When they got to the watering-house, opposite the end of Hatton-garden, the man proposed to leave him there with a pint of beer and a pipe, while lie went to show the bird, and by way of security for his return he left in his care some money, with which he was about to pay a bill. He was very anxious this should not be lost, and professed to be afraid prisoner would be robbed of it in the tap-room if he put it in his pockets. To ir.sure its safety, therefore, the man with his own hand secreted the money within the lining of his hat, and then went away to exhibit the linnet. He returned in a few minutes and called him out of the house, and immediately afterwards prisoner was seized by the wrists by the two policemen. He was entirely ignorant of the contents of the papers put in his bat, but supposed they contained genuine money, as the man who entrapped him had told him so. The Mint solicitor was satisfied of the guilt of the prisoner, and he was committed ; but Row and Herdsc,eld, the officers be longing to this office, were convinced he was the victim of a foul conspiracy, and they discovered the secret informant to be an amateur thief-catcher, of the name of Murray. They also traced out, by the description of Murray's ac complice, the prisoner Perkins, now brought before the Magistrate. Perkins, upon being questioned by Row about the bird, admitted he had bad ir, and so far corro borated the tale of the poor man who was ensnared, and whose name is William Low. Mr. Alderman BIRCH remanded the prisoner for further examination. HATT ON GARDEN. EXTRAORDINARY APPRELIENSION AND DISCOVERY OF PROPERTY.-- George Cook, a young mm, was brought to the oflic e in the cuatudy of William Read, the chief constable of Leeds, charged by Mr. Samuel Fisher, soli citor, of 92, Stockwell-common, and Queen•street, Cheapside, with having stolen 140!., bills of exchange, and other property. Mr. Fisher stated, that about a month ago the prisoner came to London from Wiltshire, bringing along with him a strong recommendation from his brother, who resides there, and requested him to procure for the prisoner a si tuation in the London Docks, or any other place where he had influence. The prisoner being represented as one of a DISCOVERY of a MURDER COMMITTED IN TAUNTON TWENTY-FOUR YEARS AGO. (From the Taunton Courier.) In January, 1809, the body of Patrick Chastey, 22 years of age, was found in the river at Creech St. Michael, about three miles from this town. The deceased was a drummer in the 19th Regiment of Foot, commanded by Captain Lockyer, and had suddenly disappeared on the 2d or 3d of December preceding. An inquest was held on the body, before Mr. Scadding, then Coroner for this part of the county, and after a long investigation, ren dered more than ordinarily difficult by the decomposed state of the body, which had evidently remained several weeks in the water, a verdict of " Found drowned" was returned. Some suspicious circumstances conneeted with the death of the deceased transpired at the time, and four persons—John Brooks, Charles Way, Anthony Jerrard, and John Monk, alias Monckton—were supposed to be implicated in the alleged murder of the deceased; bur, after a slight investigation, the imputation was not per sisted in, although at various periods insinuations of their guilt have been made by different persons. Thursday last Jerrard, who now is, and was at the time of Chastey's disappearance, landlord of the Black Boy public-house, in Black Boy-lane, St. James's•street, in this town, was drinking at the George Inn, where a wrangle ensued between him and Mr. Ricketts, veterinary surgeon, of this town, in the course of which a person present, in an under tone, suggested to Ricketts that he should ask Jerrard " what had become of the drummer's money ?" Upon this Jerrard observed that "he neither stole the money, nor did he kill him, but he knew who did." This expression was followed by a detail of particulars, which led to further inquiry, and induced the Magistrates to issue warrants of apprehension against the prisoners before mentioned. A diligent and strictly secret exami nation of various persons likely to throw light on this affair has been continued for two days at the Wilton gaol, -v here the prisoners are in custody, and the investigation is to be resumed this day. Various well-authenticated statements are before us in reference to this singular event, but it would be improper, in this stage of the business, to develop the facts of the information we have obtained. The particulars of the discovery of the body, and the apprehension of the pri soners, were detailed in the Taunton Courier of the 19th January, 1809. Way di rd a few days ago, and was very frequently taunted with having been concerned in the murder of the drummer. Brooks is a pauper of this town, and Monk, or Monckton, is a butcher. The following account of the same affair is from theTaun ton correspondent of the Sherborne Journal. The whole affair forms a strong resenblance to the c.lse of Eu gene Aram. An incident has occurred at Taunton during the last week, which has engrossed the attention of our townsfolk, as one more added to the many proofs—that " murder will out." In 1809, a portio❑ of the 19th Regiment was stationed here ; a drummer in this regiment had some money left him, and sat down to cards with three other men, inhabit ants of the town, namely, one Brooks, then an inn keeper; Monck, a butcher; and Way, who is since dead. Instead of their pocketing the drummer's money, as they had expected, the drummer pocketed theirs, and they departed late at night, and somewhat flushed with liquor; and, procuring some mutton chops, took them to the Black Boy Inn, then, and now, kept by Anthony Jerrard, where the drummer followed them. All that was known at the time was, that the drummer was missed on the following day; and three weeks afterwards the body was found floating in the river at Creech ; but so decom posed and bruised (it was then supposed, by passing through the leeks, &c.), that the surgeon could not be positive that murder had been committed, and a Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of " Found Drowned." The affair was forgotten, when, on Friday evening last, Jerrard, the landlord of the Inn to which they had retired after their cards on the night in question, was much intoxicated, and related, to a large party ; several particulars which had not been before disclosed. He stated that, after Brooks, Monek, and Way, entered his house, the drummer fol lowed, and some violent words past between them, the un• successful party commanding him to leave the house, which he did. He had not been gone many minutes, before one of thc, party said, " Lets go and make him give up the money." They went accordingly, and were absent about halt an hour. We have heard two accounts of the rest of the story ; the first says, that, on their return, they ob served, " they had settled him," or something to that effect; the other report relates, that they told Jerrard all the particulars of the murder, and that they had thrown the body into the river. Which is the correct account we have no means of ascertaining at present. This extraor dinary story, thus related by Jerrard, was speedily con veyed to the authorities, and Jerrard, Brooks, and Monck, were taken into custody, and were privately ex amined on Monday. What was elicited we do not know, and we wait, with much anxiety, additional information on this singular affair. The Key of the gates of Valenciennes, lately presented to the KING on entering the town, is gilt, and bears the Lion and Swans, which form the arms of the town, with inscriptions recording that it was presented to the First Consul in 1802, to the EMPEROR in 1810, to CHAar.Es X. in 1829, and to Louts PHILIP in 1833. CORINNE.—'Phis celebrated Romance will form the next volume of the " Standard Novels and Ro mances." " The narrative of Madame de Stael is as lively and affecting as her descriptions are picturesque and beau tiful. The conception of the story is also in a high degree original ; the dif f erence of the national character is the force that sets all in motion, and it is Great Britain and Italy, the extremes of civilized Europe, that are personified and contrasted in the hero and heroine of this romantic tale. To the question, who is Corinne? Lord NELVIL received for answer that she was the most celebrated per sonage in all Italy—an excellent poet—an improvisatrice, and one of the most beautiful women in Rome. That she, was a woman of fortune—but that respecting her birth' and family, nothing certain was known. The account of the first visit to Corinne—the description of her house— her person—.her conversation—are striking and beautiful in the highest degree,"— Edinburg. h Review. It may be considered by many that we are too severe upon the present system of Church pa tronage, but we can solemnly declare that such is not the 'conviction of our hearts, for when closelyinterrogated, the answer from thence was, we are discharging a duty to ourselves, to the clerical profession, to the Church of God." We know no distinction between an Archbishop and Anti-Christ, save as developed in deeds. At these only we shall look, and not at elevated station : that may be filled by the mean-minded, the worldly-interested, and the party-devoted. By this criterion we lately tried the present Archbishop in three instances, in each of which that prelate was proved to have bestowed fresh preferment on those already preferred. We shall now note three fresh existing instances of archiepiscopal and episcopal patronage. The names are, Dr. Morris, of Brentford, Mr. T. Horne, of Chiswick, and Dr. Russell, late of the Charter-house. Now we contend, that though there was no pluralism done in these instances, there was a gross violation of episco pal duty in all, and a shameless disregard evinced to a starving profession. We know what the profession is in its subordinate members: so do the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London ; but with them the knowledge of the evil brings no remedy of the same ; with us, the only means in our power are applied to the malady, the correction of the public press. We are guiltless of the origin of the disease, and seeing it in fatal power, we do not neglect that duty, incumbent on every member of the Church, to exterminate evil Ity even the humble means we can command. An hour may come when the humble writers of the present attacks on the bloated pluralists, who already crouch be neath us in our infant strength—an hour may come, we say, when, with the adult power of the rising writer, and the highly circulated journal that supports itself in independent strength, each blow will be fatal to this iniquitous system, and the victory which the voices of thousands of Englishmen will unite in hailing with our own, be complete, final, and determined. We have but begun : we have mightier power stored; and the increase of light in our mind, which is growing with the growth of time, we trust will ultimately reach an earthly stature, glorious as that chained Titan, who suffered only for his benefits to man. We can feel, like him, a fire celestial is in our hands for man—a spirit, like that child's of heaven and earth, is in us, and and we regard not the puny present and its petty evils : our eyes rest on the undimmed glories, from our exertions, we see rising fora!l in the blue and distant vista of heaven. Hence, in out attacks, we are never personal. We regard not the individual : we look at him in his state ; and we have a right to the free comment on that state—how he originally deserved it—and also how he discharged its duties. To begin with Dr. Morris, of Brentford :—This gentle man is a very well -approved schoolmaster, with an immensely lucrative establishment, situated at Brentford. Were we to put down Dr. Morris's profits at 1,5001. per annum, it would be low, cnmpared to what he is known to make and to have long made. This gentleman, then, had his time fully occupied with his immense esta blishment, to do justice to which was all that could be reasonably expected from him, and for this he was paid an income quite proportionate to Dr. Morris's merits, who, though amiable and moderately intelligent, was never put down as first-rate. With this income he had attained to all that in society, as at present constituted, Dr. M. was entitled to claim. Some may think to more ; but Bishop Howley was not of this mind, and conferred on him a highly valuable living. Well that, if in his neighbourhood, some of our readers may say, was not objection able. Unfortunately, it was very distant from Dr. Morris; it was known, at the time it was given, that he never would reside ; and from that day, many years since, to the present, the wealthy schoolmaster has preferred the nearer and more commodious, and probably more lucrative, Brentford school, to the cure of souls upon his distant living. This is one instance of a Bishop giving a living to an already rich man, and to one on whom he never expected to be resident for the right dis charge of his solemn duties. Mr. Horne, of Chiswick, furnishes us with a second instance of a precisely similar case. Every one knows the establishment of Mr. Horne, at Chiswick, to be extremely lucrative—a first-rate school of large emolument—we should think higher than we have stated Dr. Morris's income to be, which is much within compass. In this " high and palmy state," wanting for no comfort that earth could supply, Mr. Horne received from episco pal hands (the same Btshop Howley's) the va. bible living of St. Catherine, Coleman-street. Living at Chiswick, he is never in residence, and the Bishop knew he never would be. These are facts, broad facts, awkward facts, to use the ci-levant Chriatian Advocate's expression, of which the world is aware. And now we proceed to instance the third,—Dr. Russell, late of the Charter-house. Here Bishop Blomfield was the clear offender—we do not say culprit; but he merits the term for the distribution of patronige in this instance, for Bishopsgate is in his gift. Dr. Russell was the Head Master of the Char ter-house—the unsuccessful Head Master; for he succeeded, by a cleverness peculiar to the Dunciad genus, in diminishing the numbers of this noble institution far below all former prece dent. lie held a Prepend of Canterbury, with the Head Mastership of the Charter-house, and also a City living. Was not this ample? The Head Mastership amounted to many thousands per annum, the stall was highly valuable, and the city living he was not required to reside on. On this poor man, episcopal patronage—Bishop patronageconferred Bishopsgate, a living of 2,0001. per annum. This is our third instance. Clergy of the diocese of London, is it thus your Bishop consults your interests ? Is it thus that your valuable parochial exertions are"' requited ? Is it thus the cure of souls is ad ministered by your Bishop ? Painfully, with a deep acid degrading shame for such deeds in one of our, own body, do we declare it is thus, and it has been long thus; but the advance of in telleCt and light prevents it thus continuing. Dr. Russell had his point d'appui—why take: him from thence, when numerous other clergy men could have been found, in every respect the You speak of his " searching and business like habits." I grant that he has displayed great and praiseworthy industry and much acute ness in successfully adapting portions of different machines to the object he has had in view ; but if by " business-like habits," you mean a general knowledge of the operations of trade, which con stitutes a portion of the science of political eco nomy, I must deny your proposition, and con vict him from his own work. In his strictures on the bookselling trade, his reasoning is based on a fallacy from first to last. He makes a statement of the prime cost of his own work, and then shows that some 33 per cent. of the retail price goes into the pocket of the publisher. This assumes that the business of publishing costs nothing—that no labour is expended upon it—that the moment the book is ready, the public will pour in and take it front the publisher's counter for ready money. This is not so. A portion of the per centage is di vided amongst the trade who help to retail the book. In the case of the Professor's work, Nhich became deservedly popular, a rapid sale mente.asenwleithall f % ) v o a o s ks p ? rocu l r t e i d s ; an bt u tt nf i a s ir th st is ate fate ques tion really is, what is the average profit which the pubisher realises upon the whole of the books which he publishes within the year, some of which " make a hit," and many of which are a dead loss. If we look around amongst the booksellers, we shall pronounce that their suc cess is not greater, that they do not make larger or more rapid fortunes, than other tradesmen, as compared with the capital and the talent they employ. If one man amongst them prove more successful than his brethren, it will be found either that he has more skill in puffing, or more interest with the professional puffers, or more judgment in selecting the works he pub lishes. Some houses make it a rule to publish ?.very thing which offers, trusting to their puff power alone ; and doing, by this means, a large amount of business for a given number of years, secure a sufficient profit before they are found out by the public. But the cause of this is not the established 33 per cent. upon each book : the publishers never realise any thing approach ing to it. The cause is, that they rival the blacking men in puffing. Generally speaking, the booksellers arc far from an intelligent class of men. They cannot judge of the value of a work, either in intrinsic merit, or the improbable popularity. They suffer au author to write himself into notice, mostly at his own risk ; and when he has succeeded they will publish any thing that he may offer, even with out examination. But Professor Babbage is utterly wrong in setting forth the prime cost as the whole expenditure of , capital on a b oo k. The labour an d expense of publishing and re, tailing is frequently greater than that of the wrought material ; and, without this labour and expense, the work in many cases would not circulate at all. As well might the cheapness of the Birmingham and Shef field toys be cited as a proof of the large profits of the perambulating Jews who sell them. They probably realise 200 per cent. on the sale, but how much do they sell ? The fact is, they are just paid about the rate of their personal maintenance for their labour in the process of distribution. Their return is small, and if they did not get the profit they would cease to be distributors, froth the impossibility of their living upon the amount of their earnings. If Professor Babbage would wish to diminish all profits in trade to the exact per centage which he thinks it fitting capital should produce, what would become of the hordes of green-grocers, chandlers, shopkeepers„ and others, who probably realise cent. per cent„ and who could not live unless they did so? Before he legislates on the per centage, he must increase the quantity of business for each per son, unless, upon second thoughts, he should think it wiser to leave the matter to the guid ance of those interested in it. The fact is, that booksellers must get a large profit on the books which do sell, in order to compensate the loss on those which do not sell : and if the authors wish to remedy the evil, they must resolve amongst themselves to write no bad books or no unpopular books, and deal with no bookseller who publishes any such books. Bookselling is like most other trades : if the profits be enor mous, capital will soon flow into it, and com petition will reduce the profits. No men gain very large profits, unless in the case of doing desirable things which others cannot do. There was one Walter Scott---and he had his own price for his books; there are many publishers, and the public can choose amongst them. 3 t t h s e Ay p , ort w rai t t s in a bed - ANECDOTE OF A PAINTING.—M the Sale of (if A paintings itcß 1 is o A n L tI D 7 I D Cl u t i k h e i o po s : t r a , n rA : ata a at aL li dg o , : be c; n s t ti l it e uA , ng “ffercd, and in answer to an inquiry how a small injury o the canvass had happened, the auctioneer related the fol lowing anecdote :—The to an, which wa• on one occasion occupied by a female drotnestic; the girl fancying that the Duke of ARGYLL ered her too closely whilst she was diesing, became ic. ..i;uant, and seizing a poker aimed a blow with the intent of putting the Duke's eye out ; the poker missed the eye, bur perfors•sl t';.€ canvass close to the face.
