The rubject was loudly spoken of in New_ gate Market on Saturday, and in Smithfield this morning, but how far the aggrieved party have been injured we found it impossible to ascertain.

'We have private In formation which enables us to state that this assumption Is perfectly correct. A meeting of Orangemen was held on the 12th at Dromard, in the neighbourhood of Castle Dawson, and amongst the persons in attendance were 'even hundred men, all armed with muskets in excellent conditi on. This m eet i ng vas composed of parties from bel lagily, ilaherafelt, an d C ast l e Dawson. Their avowed Itobject was to force their way through a village where a atiTit , arty of C a th o li cs were known to be also excel --hitr reined, and prepared to act on the deft naive. The V` l4 tes assembled, and addressed themselves first to th. -41 " 1 ". We can state a fact uf which all of them, andltlr. DA , sox himself, are cognizant, when we say that there riever was a body of men who showed themselves more accessible to reason, or who fulfilled with more scrupulous fidelity their promises. They were entreated to disperse, end to repair to their respective homes. They said they would do so if they were promised protection. Protection w , 41 1 Premised and they repaired forthwith to their homes. tar more difficult WAS it to prevent the meditated aggres sion of the Orangemen. It was necessary to assemble all the military of the surrounding country to interrupt their posag e to the village. They marched up to the military with iucretlible autlaeity, and threatened with their arms cocked, to force their way. At one time, musket was, oppoud to musket between the military and this outra yeous banditti.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.-OXFORD, Jut 24. PRITCHARD V. AUSTIN. This was an action brought on a promissory -note for 2001., drawn by the father of the defendant. The action was brought against the defendant as executor of his late father. The hand-writing of the defendant having been admitted, Mr. Serjeant FtusseLL said, the defence to this action was, that at the time Mr. Austin, sen. gave this note of hand he was not in a state capable of managing his affairs. If he proved this fact, the defendant would be entitled to a verdict. The Learned Counsel then called a number of witnesses, who stated that in most of the common affairs of life old Mr. Austin was perfectly consistent, and ap peared to understand what was right and what was wrong ; but that for several months before the bill in question bore date, he seemed to be labouring under a most singular and ridiculous delusion respecting the fidelity of his wife. Mr. Austin at this time was more than '7O years of age, his wife was approaching SO, yet nothing could persuade him but that she was intriguing with an old man named Henry Williams, who had turned fourscore years of age; and he also believed that his eldest son was privy to their amours, and assisted them in obtaining interviews with each other. To such an extraordinary pitch did this delu sion carry him, that he would get up in the middle of the night and call in his neighbours to assist him in searching for the old nun Williams, who, he used to persist in, was secreted somewhere about his wife's bed-chamber. On those occasions he would become almost frantic ; he would take a naked sword and stand over her, threatening her with destruction for her inconstancy ; at other times, beat her with a stick, and swore that be would do for Harry Wil liams, the destroyer of his peace, either dead or alive. To such an extent did the delusion carry him, that he would walk about the streets crying and wringing his hands in the most pitiful manner, and on two or three occasions went to the sexton of the parish and offered him money to dig his grave and bury him ; he also offered money to the clergyman to put an appropriate tombstone over his grave, It was also proved, that on the day the note bore date, he went to a neighbour's house, and said he was going to give all his property away, he was in a very hurried state, and said he was going to give a note of hand to Pritchard (the plaintiff), for his son Tom (the defendant) had sold his mother, and was a "go between" with her and Harry Williams. Pritchard was his son-in-law. There was also a person named Walton, that married another daughter, and who also received a similar note for 2001., which he (Walton), however, had given up. In the evening of that day he went home to the poor old woman, his wife, and with great exultation called out—" I have done it, I have clone it." His wife was alarmed and asked what he had done ? "Oh (he replied), you will know soon enough ; I have done some thing for that devil of a Tom for selling his mother." He supposed tbat Williams had promised his son the whole of his property for favouring his intrigues with old Mrs. Austin. The Learned Counsel said a more dutiful or affectionate son than the defendant never existed, and as it had been proved that the note which formed the subject of the present action had been given whilst Austin was labouring under such unaccountable delusion, both in law, and agreeable to common sense, the defendant was entitled to a verdict. Mr. TAUNTON replied. He said a father had a just right to make whatever distribution of his property he thought proper, and if he gave more to one child than another, that was no reason why he shou:d be ac counted mad. He thought there was not sufficient evi dence to convince the Jury that he was incapable of managing his affairs, and therefore the verdict must be for the plaintiff. Mr. Justice BOIANQUZT summed up, and the Jury im mediately returned a verdict fur the defendant. CHURCHILL V. FARRIER. The plaintiff is a farmer, and the defendant a corn-factor in this city. The Action was brought to recover the sum of 341. 6e. 4(1., the amount of 24 quarters of barley, which the plaintiff had sold to the defendant. The de fendant admitted that the barley had been sent in to his warehouse, and that the sum now sought to be recovered was the price agreed to be paid; but the defence was, that the barley had been bought by sample, and when it was compared with the sample, it was found not to be so good, or worth as much by 28. a quarter; the defendant, therefore, refused to pay fur it, and told the plaintiff he might take it away again. Several witnesses proved that the bulk sent in to the defendant's warehouse was inferior to the sample, and the Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, returned a verdict for the defendant. It being market day a great number of farmers were in Court, who appeared to take considerable interest in the decision. lIARPICII. V. W!I.LS. Mr. JIRYIS (Mr. CITRWOOD with him) stated that this was an action to recover compensation in damages en two grounds—first, for a trespass, and second for en assault. The plaintiff is a butcher, living ut Ensham in this county; the defendant was the beadle and constable of that parish. The plaintiff was in possession of a garden at the back of his mother's house, and great family disputes arose in con sequence, as it was alleged that that conveyance of it had not been properly obtained. His mother (who was quite blind) and his sister lived in the cottage adjoining the garden, the latter was a female of most irritable tem per. On the sth of May the plaintiff was in the garden planting some beans, when his sister came in, and hung some wet linen on the gooseberry bushes. He told her to remove it, but she refused, and he therefore took a spade and knocked it on the ground. She complained of this conduct, and said she would go and obtain a constable, and shortly afterwards the defendant Wells made his ap pearance in the garden. He was accompanied by a man named Wilkins, who advised the defendant to retire, as, no breach of the peace h av i ng b een committed, they were not authorised to interfere. The defendant answered that he was determined to take the plaintiff into custody, as lie had been ordered to do so by his mother, who went in fear of her life from him. The plaintiff said, you have no business here, and if you dare to put your hand upon me, I will c h o p y ou down with the spade. The defendant being aware of the disputes that ex feted in the family, went hack again for further authority from the plaintiff's mother, on his return he called out, 4, all bands assist," and pulled out of his pocket a pair of handcuffs. He then held up his staff, and was about to collar him, when the defendant aimed a blow at hint with a spade, which knocked him down, (and for which blow the plaintiff was tried in the Criminal Court yesterday, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard la bour). No doubt, said Mr. Jervis, in the act the plain tiff had violated the law, but lie was now suffering the punishment of the law. When the defendant received the blow he said, " this is just what I wanted, I will give you a tickler for it." He then took the plaintiff before a Magistrate, and he was committed to prison. These were the grounds of his present action. Several witnesies deposed to the funs opened by the Learned Counsel. Mr. Tauarrow. for the defendant, submitted there was no evidence to go to the Jury, to prove the trespass; it was nece►sary to show that the garden was in the exclusive possession of the plaintiff, which he contended bad not been done. With respect to the assault, the constable was only acting in obedience to the orders he received from the plain tiff's mother, a.poor blind old woman, who went in fear of her life from his violence ; he was only, he said, acting in obedience to such orders when he received the murder ous blow from the plaintiff, which in all probability would injure him for life. The Jury had been informed that the plaintiff bad been indicted, and was tried yesterday for that blow, and.sentenced to three' months imprisonment, yet this very man was now the plaintiff in an action to recover damages for an assault. He, Mr. Taunton had plenty of witnesses, but he would not call them, as he was sure the Jury would treat this scandalous cause in the Sway it de served. Mr. Justice BOSANQUICT summed up. His Lordship observed, that in his opinion a more improper or un worthy action was never brought into a court of justice. The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the de fendant. liAltrita V. BLAKI. This was an action by the same plaintiff, and ari,ing out of the same transaction, to recover damages iur i;albe imprisonment. A Juror was however withdrawn. This cause closed the Asdizes for this county. DUEL.—On Friday morning, about ten mi nutes after five o'clock, a meeting took plac e a b ou t 250 yards from the Eyre Tavern, St. John's-wood, in a field adjoining the New Finchley turnpike-road, between Lieu tenant WUITS, EN., and Mr. SAUNDIERSON, of the Stock Exchange. After an exchange of shot*, at e i g h t paces, without any mischief being sustained on either side, the seconds interposed, end succeeded in arranging affairs in au amicable manner, by the Lieutenant making an apology to Mr. SAUNDERSON. The affair originated at the Hay market Theatre on Wednesday evening last, in consequen ce of the Lieutenant looking a young lady (the niece of Mr. SA unntrasox) out of countenance several times during the evening at the Theatre, while under his protection. Each party and their friends retired to post-chaisea that were waiting far them in the new Finchley turnpike-road, and immediately drove off with all speed for London.---- Morning Paper.

WRITINGS OP HERNIIDEN.—The most im portant addition which a superior understanding can, at recta, contribUte to the stock of general knowledge, is not so much novelty as truth. New things have been pre sented to us, in rapid succession, during many centuries ; and the most urgent want of the science is to establish what is true, and to separate the genuine from the suspicious.

GENERAL ELECTION. NORIVICII, JULY 24. On Friday an announcement was made by the Com tnittre of the Blue and White (or Liberal party), that Robert Grant, Esq. would arrive in Norwich the next day, to offer himself as a representative for this city. On Saturday evening, as soon us it could be with certainty ascertained that Mr. Gurney and Mr. Grant were ap proaching the city, an immense multitude of persons col lected along the Newmarket road, amounting in number to fron► 10,000 to 15,000 persons. Tbe 'reemen of the different wards, with their various flags, were in attend ance, and a number of gentlemen on horseback were in at tendance to form part of the escort. The multitude be- gan to assemble about half-past seven, and although it w; half•past nine before the candidates appeared, there was no falling off in numbers. As soon as the carriage of the gentlemen drew near, a tremendous hurrah from the fore most of the spectators gave notice of its approach to those more in the rear, fur the road was lined for full a mile its length. On its reaching the crowd, the horses were taken from the carriage amidst deafening cheers, The procession instantly commenced its march down St. Ste phen's-street, through the market, around which it passed to the White Swan Inn. The large yard appertaining to this hotel is well suited to such a purpose, being capable of containing many thousands. On this occasion it was crammed to such an extent as to preclude the possibility of the slightest motion to any individual present. The can didates, on presenting themselves, were greeted with the warmest cheers. Mr. Gurney was received, not only as a gentleman, whose political principles were highly esti mated, but as having come forward at the express desire of his fellow-citizens was entitled to the most marked re ception. Nor was Mr. Grant's reception less enthusiastic —less joyous. To both candidates the scene must have been one of honourable gratification. Mr. Gurney ad dressed the crowd in his bold, manly, and forcible man ner, declaring, that, having been called forth by one of the most numerously signed requisitions ever presented, he ' bad been induced, with reluctance, to enter again into public life, although he felt he should have been happier in private. , Mr. Gurney expressed his strong feeling of the necessity for the reduction of taxation, as the most im portant for the relief of the people from the misery they now suffered, and of his conviction of the necessity of re form. Mr. Grant afterwards addressed the freemen at very great length, and in dignified, energetic, and eloquent terms. He spoke of the gratification the reception such a perfect stranger as himself bad met with—of the public acts be had espoused, with a happy combination of mo desty and pride. He stated his political tenets to consist in a wise course of retrenchment and economy ; a detesta tion of jobs; to he favourable to the adoption of judicious and effectual measures for the practical correction of every abuse, including such as prevail in the election of the re presentatives of the people, in the maintenance of a liberal and tolerant system of administration at home, and an ener getic and liberal policy abroad. The Hon. Gentleman's address was beard with the deepest possible silence, and had an effect almost electrical on his auditory, who cheered him repeatedly and loudly. The people shot tly after dis persed, The Orange-Purple party have not yet officially am nounced a candidate in conjunction with Colonel Peel; bu Admiral Charles Ogle is rumoured as the probable person. OXFORD, JULY, 24. The canvassing of the different candidates for this county is going on with the greatest spirit and activity. Mr. Ashurst,one of the present Members, has a very large family, he has, therefore, deemed it advisable not to en counter the expenee of a contested election, and d o e s no t intend again to offer himself to the notice of the free holders. Two new candidates have announced themselves; the first, Lord Norreys, who declares from the flattering reception he has met with, he is determined to keep the poll open to the last moment allowed by the law. His Lordship's friends are very sanguine of success. The second candidate is Sir George Dashwood, and he is sup ported by the Blenheim interest. Sir George has repre sented the borough of Truro in a former Parliament, and his ancestors have been Members of this county. In the year 1754, the grandfather of Sir George was a candidate for this county, at which time the most spirited and expensive election Oxfordshire ever witnessed took place; indeed, to such an extent was money thrown away, that for several years it shook the fortunes of the family. Sir George expresses himself confident of success. The ge neral opinion is, that Mr. Pane, ono of the present Mem bers, is quite certain of his re-electiou, and therefore that the struggle will be entirely between Lord Norreys and Sir George Duckworth. Lord Norreys is the eldest son of l the Earl of Abingdon, a staunch Tory, and it is said his son itnbibes the sanyi principles. A great objection is made by the opponetfts of his Lordship on the of his youth, be being only twenty-two years of ace ; but, say his friends triumphantly, he can speak at all events as well as Sir George, who has been in Parliament for some years, but his voice was never heard within the walls of St. Stephens. Political squibs in prose and verse are issuing almost every hour from the press. Every party are firing their paper bullets, but most of them fall co ve m ry p h o ar tit n io d o eu is , : n o d t i c ik er e t ly ain t i t y ) , ro ta iso ke t n ho o l n ite t r h o e r whole eliarne the i r character o f this seat of learning. It is expected Sir Robert Inglis and Mr. Estcourt will be returned Without opposition for the University, although it is thought by some (and those not a few) that if Sir Robert Peel tvould allow himself to be put in nomination, he would be successful. Much to the disappointment of the citizens there is no probability of any apposition for the city. Mr. Hughes Hughes was invited, and, it is said, if be had accepted the invitation, his return would have been certain ' • but that gentleman has published an address, i n which he states that ha stands pledged to the freemen of Rochester, and therefore declines the honour of offering himself to the no tice of the citizens of Oxford. Mr. Lockhart and Mr. Langston will, therefore, in all probability, be returned without opposition. (From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) Y °a inu— ae mostthe very numerous high 811antidSrite lion to announce, sii W d r l e ut held yesterday at Y or k, principles in this cou nty , re spectable meeting of the leading gentl e m en o f lib era l it was resolved to call forward Lord Morp e th an d x. Henry Brougham, Esq., "as fit and proper persons to represent the county of York in Parli u m ent .'' This decision will, we have no do u bt, rece i ve t h e hearty approbation and zealous concurrence of the great majority of the freeholders. The two indivi duals thus nominated are marked out for the high honour of the representation of Yorkshire,—the one by his distinction among the gentlemen of the county in talents, acquirements, public spirit, and Parlia mentary character; and the other, by his pre eminent station among public men of the day, by the most splendid talents devoted with unparalleled energy and success to the advancement of the liberties and interests of his country. concerning Lord Morpeth there is and can be no difference of Opinion among the freeholders. 'rite meeting at York was unanimous in his favour; and we are happy to say that his Lordship had pre viously given full authority to his friends to say that he would, if called upon by the county, be ready to offer his services as their representative, on condi tion that he should be returned free of expence. To Mr, Brougham there are one or two trivial objections, overbalanced by a host of the most powerful recommendations. He is beyond all ques tion the most able, the most useful, and the most popular man in the country. This is universally ad mitted ; and the only objections urged against him are, that he is not connected with the county, and that he is much engaged by his professional avoca tions. These objections were fairly stated and as fairly removed at the York meeting, and we have elsewhere given a full reply to them. The feelin g at York amongst the, gentlemen from the West Riding was exceedingly strong in favour of Mr. Brougham ; and in the absence of any resi dent gentleman of pre-eminent claims, it was felt that Mr. Brougham's merits gave him an irresistible title to the representation. We refer to the excel lent speeches of Mr. Sykes, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Strickland, and others, on the transcendent merits of the Hon. and Learned Member. Noer that the York meeting has decided in fa your of Mr. Brougham, we haVe a full confidence that the Liberals will be unanimous and zealot's in his support. We therefore urge all those who are friendly to his election to bestir themselves without a single day's delay,and to forward to Mrairougliarn such assurances of their free and independent sup port as shall immediately decide him to accept the invitation of the county. C Fordwich is decidedly the popular man here. His Lordship's frank anti conde scending manners command die esteem even of his opponenta, while to his friends they constitute only an additional one to the many claims which he has upon the good opinion of the men of Kent. COCKERMOUTIL—We learn that Mr. James Brougham is to be returned for Cockermouth, a borough of the Earl of Lonsdele.—Morning Paper. Lord Be!grave is actively canvassing his native county, Cheshire. We understand that Mr. M. G. Prendergast, late member for Gatton, succeeds to the seat for West- Lu vacated by Sir Robert Peel. WEsTIIiNsTER.--..5ir Sydney Smith, it is stated, is to be put in nomination for NVestminster ; and Captain Pellew, the son of Lord Exmouth, is to be propoFed as his colleague. MwDLEsEx.—No candidate has yet started to oppose Mr. Hume. A depu'ution of freeholders lately waited on Mr. Fitzclarence, with the most earnest entreaty that he would immediately offer himself as a candidate for the representation of the county of Middlesex. The gentlemen composing it were received with much courtesy by Mr. Fitz clarence, who declined their invitation. DEvoN.—lt is clear that there will be a contest, and Mr. Bastard, it is said, will be firmly opposed by Lord Ebrington. The other sitting member, Sir Thomas A,cland, has been on the alert. EXETIM—Mr. Buller and Mr. Ruck have expe rienced no opposition. GRANTuAst.—Messrs. Cust and Welby oppose Lord Iluntingtower's son, the Hon. Mr. Talmash. lIEEEFonp.—The present candidates have been very successful in their canvass. Sir E. F. Scuds . more Stanhope and Mr. Lep have declined becoming candidates. PETERBOROUGIL—Lord Milton is expected to be returned. SHAFTESBURY.—A son of Admiral Knowles is a candidate. MARLOW.—Colonal Clayton is engaged in an ac tive canvass against the sitting members. AnINGDoN.—Mr. Maberly is opposed to Mr. Maitland, who bus been received in u very favour able manner. Mr. Maitland's electio n is considered pretty certain.

The present members are Mr. Samuel and Mr. G. Smith, Lon don bankers. HAMPSDIRE.—The Marquis of Douro, eldest sop of the Duke of Wellington, and Mr. Alexander Baring, are likely to start fur this county. OxFormstriEE.—The contest for this county is conducted with much spirit and perfect good humour on all sides. Each of the candidates has indicated a successful canvass, by which it is inferred that the struggle will he a severe one. OXFORD UNIVERSITY,—There will be no oppo sition for the representation of the University in the next Parliament, and Mr. Estcourt and Sir Robert Inglis will succeed of course. Mr. Peel's courteous, affable, and kind manner, on meeting the. Oxford Delegacy at St. James's, and the evident pains he took to show the interest he still takes in the affairs of Alma Mater, would not fail of exciting compari sons not to his disadvantage, forgiveness from his most ardent opponents, and the veteris verlibut flatn we in the breasts of his former admirers. BRISTOL—Mr. Bright retires, in consequence, it is suppnsed, of the expense attending a contest. Mr. Edward Protheroe, jun., has been put in nomination. The election of Mr. H. Davis is beyond a doubt. BEVERLEY.—There are no less than six candi dates; Messrs. Stewart, Peters, Burton, Batley, Cure, and Wharton. num.—There are five candidates for this place —namely, Messrs. Sykes, O'Nell, Lyne, Stephens, and Villiers. Lorcour (City).—Col. Sibtliorp and Mr. Tenny son are candidates. Lord Mexborough has declined. DROITIVICII.—The Earl of Sefton and Mr. Foley are again candidates. Suss x.--There will certainly be some stir and ' bustle at the approaching election for this county, it being, as, we are crediblyinformed, the determination of Sir Godfrey Webster iflot to suffer Mr Herbert Cartels to walk quietly over the course. There can of course be no question as to the final result. At Lewes, Seaford, Chichester, Arundel, and Shore ham, matters remain pretty nearly in state quo. STAFFORDSIIIRIL--.Mr. E. J. Littleton is again a candidate. LYMINGTON.—Mr. Boyd retires. GRIUSIM—Soon after the canvass of the free men of Grimsby by Mr. Wood and Mr. Heneage, a third man appeared, in the person of George Harris, Esq., a post captain in the navy; and next day Colonel Mayne took the field as his colleague in the Red or Tory interest. A brisk contest is now anticipated. STAMPORD.-Mr. Tennyson hus been requested to become a candidate for this borough in opposition to Lord Thomas Cecil and Colon e l Chaplin. Mr. Ten nyson, who is a candidate for Lincoln, has promised, if he meets with no success at that place, to stand a poll_at Stamford. Nonwictr.—Colonel Peel and Mr. R. Gurney are candidates. It is stated that Mr. R. Grant has joined Mr. Gurney. NoRTIIUMBERLAND.—Mr. Liddell having with drawn, Messrs. Bell and Beaumont will be returned WIGAN.--We understand that an attempt will be made to open this borough, and Sir John Gerrard, Bart. has been requested to stand a contest. CAMBRIDGE (County),—Mr. Adeane, the Chair man of the county sessions, is a candidate against the present members. ifUNTINGDON (County).—Lord Mandeville, Lord Strathaven, and Mr. Rooper, continue their canvass for Huntingdonshire with the greatest activity. NsweAsTLE.—There are four candidates for this borough, Mr. Borrudaile, Mr. Denison, Mr. Miller, and Mr. E. Peel. TAMWORTIL—Lord Charles Townshend again offers himself. Mr. Wm. Peel, as well as Sir Robert Peel, has a6o addressed the electors, but in a style leading to the conclusion that the latter will ultimately withdraw his claims in favour of those of his brother. LlC l lFlELD.—Unsuccessful attempts have been made to find a candidate to oppose the Anson !merest. BOROUGUBRIDGM.--Sir C. Wetherell and Mr. Matthias Attwood are said to be candidates in the Newcastle interest. LEICESTER... .—NO opposition. RUTLAND.—NO opposition. NOTTINGHAII.---By the abandonment of the town of Nottingham by Lord Runelitre end Mr. Birch, the representation has actually gone a begging. No fewer than six gentlemen have been applied to, all of whom have declined the proffered honour. Mr. Denman, it is true, has put forth a second address, but not in a style to please the townsmen. After great exertion a candidate hua ut lust been found.— Sir Ronald Ferguson is the individual. BASSI MAW (Hundred of).--Now that the East Retford question is settled, .Gard Newell( has re newed the offer of his services for the hundred of Bassetlaw. Grenville \Troubles Vernon, Esq., comes forward as a second candidate. • _ ENGLAND UNDER KING STEPHEN, FEDat SAXON CHRONICLE.—" In this King's time, says the Saxon Chronicler, " all was dissension; and evil and rapine.

The maid-servant of a respectable solicitor, who resides in Broad-street, in the City, for some time lately encouraged the addresses of a man who described himself as clerk to a large millinery concern at Battle-bridge, and received him in her master's house. ihe clerks in the house in Broad street, had seen the gallant about the premises frequently, and observed that on such occasions he hid his face with his handker chief. This was rather a ground for suspicion, nit they fancied that he felt some little shame at icing identified us the lover of a female in such tumble circumstances, and readily excused the eeling. The young woman at last grew too nigh for the situation, and upon being told that ter qualifications for her place were become rather out of order, turned up her nosOy and say ing that she was going to e nt er i nto a h app i er state, took her leave. It had not, 'weever, escaped those in the house that she was ac customed to display more money, trinkets, and clothes, than it generally fell to the lot of a mil liner's clerk to provide, and a clue was soon found to the mystery. Several articles of her master's property were missed, - and amongst the rest were two most valuable volumes of the Cyclopa4ia. The girl was not.suspected of having appropriated these books, but her lover's studied concealment of his face from strangers was soon attributed to a motive very different from that originally ascribed •to it. A day or two after the detection of the robbery down ran the milliner from Battlebridge to the office in flroad.street to inquire fo r hi s porter; for the liwer had thonght proper to go a step or two higher than his real rank in recommending him self to his sweetheart. "He is not here (said the servant)—we suppose that he is gone to be married ;" • " Married I" cried the milliner, " Why, he has robbed me of money and goods, and I'll have him if he is above ground." The laborious inquiries of the enraged milliner suc ceeded. He traced the new couple to Brighton, and pounced upon them soon after they came out of church, covered with matrimonial favours, and thus prevented them from spending the honeymoon in France. As soon as they ar rived in London, and were taken to a Police, station, 4 , I say," said one of the officers to the hero of the story, 4 , 'tis you, is it? I thought it would come to this—you wouldn't take my advice, and keep from your old tricks." " Why, who is he, in the name of God," said the Mil liner ; " Who is he," repeated the officer— " Why, he is an old hand, to be sure—he has been over the water before, and now he'll go over for good." The unhappy girl seemed as much astonished at the intelligence that sho was the wife of e thief as any body else, and it be ing apparent that she was not aware of the man lier in which he had lately enriched himself, no intention is entertained of prosecuting her. ORIGIN SF CHIVALRY. In the beginning of the twelfth century the only powerful body of laymen in Europe inha bited small fortresses scattered over the country, from which they rushed forth in quest of plunder, and were they returned to shelter themselves and their spoils. Never before were so many dwel ling-houses called " little camps." Access to these dwellings was not easy. Intercourse be tween them, except for short orgi es , was li tt l e known. Young women in that unsafe time were almost as confined by the care of fathers, as in the East by the jealousy of bus. bands. The young warrior could but rarely steal a glimpse of damsels of his own age and condition. Hence it naturally happened that these ladies were sometimes regarded, at least for a time, with warmth of passion and depth of ad. miration unknown to happier times. When men were engaged in the constant exercise of national or private war, superiority and valour was' the virtue which most commanded esteem and ap plause. The timid female valued it as highly from awe as the sturdy warrior from fellow feeling. The excellent virtue of veracity was held in the same honour, and an offence against it was followed with the like shame; for it was then rather admired as a proof of courage than esteemed as a part of integrity. They despised falsehood, as flowing from the fear of speaking truth. They imposed on women, under pain of ignominy, the inflexible practice of those severe virtues, which they themselves least observed and least understood, partly to quiet their own jealousy, partly, also, because where love was a worship it required a more perfect purity in its objects. In so turbulent and insecure a state of society a few of a more generous nature were led, by their temper or their circumstances, to testa the delight of employing valour for the protec tion of the feeble against the spoiler. Women, or rather young and beautiful damsels, were admired for their attractions, pitied and defended for their weakness. The ministers of religion were protected because they were venerable, and because they were unwarlike. Religion itself, guarded only by unseen powers- and remote poniilnents, claimed from the generous warrior the' use of his sword against her human enemies. In time all the weak became objects of defei)e.s. The pupils of the school of chivalry were te4glit. to take up arms against wr ong , however they might often be deceived in their judgeeont as to what constituted it. The grand dorect of this system, in its best state, was, that it was Confined to a small portion of mankind. In its purest form it never prevailed among the majority of the class who exclusively pretended to it. The writers who soon supplanted th e biographers of saints, a n d became for their day the delight of Europe, represented in their romances a picture of chivalry, in which the heroes were purified from their d e f ec t s , an d invested with powers t o cope with pr e t er n a t ura l h e i ogs , or to subdue the most tremendous monsters.
