THE YOUNG LADY'S BOOK.—'l'his elegant Volume, which, on account of its entire novelty of character and difficulty of production, bas been necessarily long in preparation, is not an Annual, but es sentially differs from the whole class of Literary Gifts usually presented to Young Ladies, being a complete Ma nual of Elegant Recreations, Exercises, and Pursuits. The Subjects comprised in the Work, which is exquisitely printed, and contains upwards of 500 pages, have been confided to proficients in their several departments, and include MORAL DEPORTMENT.

It will be long before the common sense and feelings of Englishmen will concur in a decision which, besides being opposed to what are generally considered the na tural rights of a parent over his children, has the incurable vice of being a partial rule of law. The manner in which that decision was arrived at, is. if possible, still more objectionable. No man who looks at this subject with the seriousness it deserves, but must be filled with astonishment that in a country where the trial by Jury (the ♦ery essence of which is the examination of witnesses viva voce) has prevailed so long, and where its advan. tages are so fully appreciated, the expensive, dilatory, and dis gusting practice of affidavit-evidence should be left to be the re proach of our days. " The history of Mr. Wellesley's case may be shortly told. The consummate legal cunning of Lord Eldon laid a trap for him, into which he was et, ill-advised as to fall. The present Lord Chancellor, dealing with the case like a ' man of sense and inte grity has done al/ that can no w be d one to extricate him, and for this he expresses himself warmly and gratefully."—Times. - James Ridgway, Piccadilly ; Bell and Bradfute, Edin burgh ; Alillikens , Dublin ; and, by order, of every Book.. seller.

The worthy Colonel having finished his last cup of tea, and given orders that the materials of a glass of punch should be prepared for his re turn, went down to examine the desperate rebel. ! " Bring out that croppy rascal," thundered forth the Colonel ; bound, bleeding, and faint, O'Brien was brought before him. "So you have made a good night's work of it, my boy I" The prisoner remained silent. " What have you to say for yourself ?" Still there was no answer. " Oh, you're sulky, are you ? Serjeant, put a pole across the two windows of the next lane, and prepare a rope for this hero." At this moment, the prisoner collecting all his strength, addressed his judge in a calm steady voice; one of the soldiers, who was present, afterwards de clared that in the moment of mortal agony, his accents were as firm, and his look as- proud, as if he stood there to issue commands, and not to receive sentence. " That this would probably be my end, I have long been aware : 1 am not now about to stoop to ask for mercy ; the best of my ancestors have been ruthlessly slain by the Saxon ; their death may well be mine ; they died in vain attempts to free their native land from the foe and the stranger ; so do I ; one comfort still remains, though I could not break the chains of my native country, I shall not witness the rivetting of her fetters. I have three requests to make ; first, that I may be allo we d to write a farewell to my family ; secondly, that a minister of religion may be permitted to attend me ; and thirdly ; that a soldier's death may be allowed me." The Colonel listened to him with undisguised amazement ; the calmness and stea diness of the prisoner had put him into a rage, and with brutal harshness he refused his peti tion, and reiterated his orders that the fatal ap paratus of death should be instantly erected. A young officer that was present at the scene, an Englishman by birth, interfered as far as to procure for the prisoner the means of writing a few lines, and the privilege of solitude while the rude gallows was being erected. The grey dawn of morning was just beginning to appear, when it was intimated to the prisoner that the prepa ratiOns were completed. Those who have spent a sleepless night know well the exhausted and haggard appearance they present when the dull light of the early morn breaks upon their vigils. As the prisoner went slowly through the guard room, the pallid faces of those who kept the watch, and the manifest unwillingness with which they stood to their arms, seemed to him to speak of sympathy and pity. It was but a seeming ; civil war destroys every generous sen timent ; these men had seen the insurgents plunge their pikes into the bodies of the wounded in the previous engagement; they had heard of the cruelties practised by the rebels, and they were steeled against compassion when these rebels were in their power. O'Brien had not far to go ; the fatal tree was close to the guard-house door. Bound and manacled, he made one des perate effort, and rushed through the files of the surprised guard ; but their surprise lasted only a moment ; he had not run five yards when a friendly bullet gave him, as he desired, a sol dier's death. His lifeless corpse has suspended from the gallows, but the gallant spirit had escaped from the insult."—London University Magazine.

GUILDHALL. The wife of George Cooling, of Bartholomew close, whose goods were distrained under circum stances which were explained in our Paper of Mon day, attended to learn what progress Mr. Alderman PAREBROTHER had made in the action he had un dertaken to prosecute at his own expence against Higgins, the broker who distrained. Mr. Alderman FAREBROVIER happened to be at the office, and he stated that the landlord had waited upon him to ex press his regret at what had occurred. lie declared that the broker had been introduced not by himself, but by a person who collected for him, and that the 31.'185. which had been received in cash had not been .handed over to him ; and he further undertook to cause every vestige of the furniture to be restored and to forgive the balance of rent due at Christmas, after deducting the cash above-mentioned. This, he thought, was a sufficient reparation for the injury dune.—The poor woman received this news very gratefully. BOW.STREET. Yesterday a young man, named Charles Bradley, was placed at the bar before Sir R. BIRNIE, charged with having robbed his father, Mr. Joseph Bradley, fixture-broker, of Great Queen -street, Lincoln's-inn fields, of Bank-notes to the amount of .150/. Mr. Bradley, sen., who gave his evidence with reluctance, and under feelings of considerable agita tion, said that the prisoner was in his employment, and had received wages the same as his other men. In consequence, however, of his dissipated habits he was not suffered to sleep upon the premises, but had a lodging elsewhere. On the evening of last Monday witness discovered that the drawer of a book-case in which he kept his money had been opened by means of a false key, and that 150/. were abstracted therefrom. The prisoner about the same time absconded. Salmon, upon searching the prisoner, found upon his person 71. 10s. in gold, and 1/. in silver ; also a new silver watch , gold chain, and seals, a gold finger-ring, and a silver watch-guard. Upon a closer inspection of his person, he found a bundle of Banknotes amounting to 120/. Mr. Bradley identified one of the notes for 501. as part of the property stolen from him, lie un derstood that another note of the same amount had been changed for the prisoner. by a publican in Long-acre. The prisoner had latterly kept com pany with disreputable females and fighting men. Salmon produced some printed admission tickets, inviting the friends and patrons of the prize-ring to attend the benefit of Deaf Burke, the pugilist, at the house of a publican in Bernard-street, Soho. The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was committed for re-examination. Gardiner, the officer who went to Dover in pur suit of John D. Holt, the young man who is charged with having absconded from Dublin with 1,5001. in Bank of Ireland notes, the property of Messrs. Swaine, Ralph, and Swaine, of that city, his em ployers, returned to town yesterday morning with out accomplishing his object, it having turned out that the party in whom he went in pursuit was not the offender, although answering his appearance in several particulars. It is now supposed that Holt proceeded direct for Liverpool, and took shipping at that port for America. Sir R. BIRNIE received a communication from Mr. Serjeant Pell, stating that the church at Pin ner, near Harrow-on-the-Hill, had been forcibly en tered in the night-time by thieves, who carried off the whole of the communion plate. James John Smith, one of the principal officers, was instantly despatched in pursuit of the offnders. LAMBETH-STREET. Three publicans were yesterday fined in mitigated penalties, for keeping their houses open during the hours of divine service on Sunday. THE MINT ROBBERY. No tidings have yet been heard of George Keith. The precise number of gold blanks prepared to be coined into sovereigns which he carried off was 2,804. The robbery was not committed pursuant to any preconcerted scheme, but upon the idea of the moment; for these blanks did not come into his hands in the ordinary routine of business. The blanks are collected in bags of 151 b. weight, con taining 701 pieces, and these bags are technically called journeys. A man named Taylor, who attends on the moneyers, not having arrived at seven o'clock on Saturday morning, Keith was desired to carry a tray with eight journeys in it, to an old man named Arthur, in another part of the premises, to be an nealed. He went into Arthur's room with the gold, but Arthur told him he was not then ready to re ceive it, as his fire was out, and his shovel had been carried up stairs, and he desired Keith to keep them for a few moments in his own room, that being deemed more secure, as there was no thoroughfare in it. When Arthur had fetched his shovel and lit his fire, he called for Keith, and receiving no answer, conjectured he had gone home to breakfast. He accordingly went to his room, which was nearly in darkness, Keith having turned off one burner of the lamp, and nearly extinguished the other, and grop ing about lie found four journeys in the tray. This quantity being one which was very frequently given,' out, he did not expect that any thing was amiss, and he sat to work, chalking on the wall be fore him the quantity he had received, according to the custom of the place. Keith was observed by a fellow-workman leaving the premises about a quar ter past seven in the morning. He appeared to stoop a little, and open the door cautiously ; but from having worked at the Mint 20 years, his conduct did not excite suspicion. When he came to the gate, the porter asked him where he was going, and he answered that there would be no work ready for him till ten o'clock. On Tower-hill he was noticed by another workman hurrying towards the Minories, but from his previous good character, no suspicion was awakened by t h e c i rcumstance. I t was naturally supposed he was going home to breakfast. Four hours afterwards one of the moneyers, in passing through Arthur's room, saw four instead of eight journeys chalked on the well, and said there was a mistake. Na, Sir, there's na mistak at all; I had but four, Sir," replied Arthur, who is a North Briton; arid Keith was immediately called for, and was, for the first time, missed. Keith's employ ment was to boil the blanks in an acid to clean them, after the annealing. He is said to be a native of Falconborough, in Scotland, and has left a wife and seven children, who are living in Sweet Apple court, Bishops ga t e . A s i m il ar d epre d at i on was committed at the Mint about 30 years ago. Considerable improvement has been made in the middle district of the Lincoln and Peterborough road, since Mr. PRISTON has had it under his superintendence. Many of our readers, who have travelled the road, will recollect two very disagreeable turns at the village of Langtoft, near Market Deeping. These have been obvi ated, and the road rendered pertectly straight by removing some trivial obstacles, and cutting a direct line from the entrance to the village from Bourn. A similar improve ment has been made at Bourn, at the entrance from the soutb.— The Champion. ANECDOTE OF KEEN CRUISING.—When the crew of the Black Joke were burying the dead of the slave-trader Almirante, in January last, "Avast there !" cried one, " that fellow's an officer---let's overhaul him a bit before he goes overboard."

SUICIDE OF MISS CHARLOTTE BOTH The following particulars of the suicide of this ' young lady, and the attempt on the part of her sis ter, Miss Josephine, are derived from a source which leaves no doubt of their accuracy. It may be as well to premise that it is the eldest, and not the youngest, that is dead, and that they were not w►thout a morsel to eat. On the con trary, they were supplied with every necessary, or even luxury, they saw fit to call for; even the very poison they swalled was mixed in a tumbler of wine, part of a bottle which, by their directions, had been procured for them the preceding day by Mrs. Per ceval, the respectable widow lady in whose house, No. 157, Albany-street, Regent's park, they occu piedapartmen ts. _ . The suspicion that they had poisoned themselves first arose about eleven o'clock on Monday night, from the groans which were heard to issue from their sleeping room. On trying the door, it was found to be locked ; and the surviving young lady, in answer to inquiries made of her, refused to open the door, or tell what was the matter. The watch. man, in consequence, was called in, and the door forced, when the two young ladies were found lying in bed, evidently labouring under the effects of poi son. The deceased was then quite insensible, but on the other the poison had happily not taken a fatal hold. On a chair were lying a number of sealed letters, with a slip of paper on the top of them, simply requesting Mrs. Perceval to forward them to their respective addresses by post. Their night dress appeared to have been arranged for the occa sion, their stays being kept on tight laced, and a handsome night-habit thrown over it, and on their hands they wore white kid gloves. Medical assist ance was instantly sent for, and Messrs. Elkin and Lee promptly arrived, and by means of the stomach pump succeeded in removing a quantity of liquid laudanum and powdered opium from their stomachs. After the usual process of successively filling the stomach and emptying it had been performed several times, an emetic was administered, and they were kept constantly walking, or rather being dragged, up and down the room for four continuous hours.— This treatment, although successful in the case of Miss Josephine, proved unavailing upon her sister, who died at half-past four o'clock on Tuesday morn ing. The poison appears to have produced little or no effect on this lady, for she is already perfectly recovered, and was yesterday found by Mr. Elkin, on his visiting her, sitting up in the drawing-room, having dressed herself, and curled and decorated her hair in a manner which showed that she was not un mindful of personal appearance. She was very com municative, and mentioned the places were the poi son had been procured, and the time when. In all, she said they had procured three ounces of laudanum and one ounce of powdered opium. That each of them swallowed an ounce and a half of the Linda num, and afterwards a portion of the opium in a quantity of wine. On being pressed to make a so lemn promise never again to attempt self-destruc tion, she smiled, and said she could not promise any such thing. The intention of destroying themselves, she said, had been formed some days back, and se veral of the letters which were found on the chair then written. These letters have since been for warded to the parties to whom they were addressed, and a letter has also been sent to Lieut. Crowther, the brother-in-law, who is residing at Deal, ac quainting him with the event, and he is expected to arrive to-night. The Misses Both went to reside with Mrs. Perceval about a month back. They oc cupied the second floor, which is handsomely fur nished, and for which they agreed to pay a rent of 30s. a-week. They appear to have had but little money when they went there, and, latterly, every thing they chose to order was paid for by Mrs. Per ceval. A gentleman of the name of Hare, who re sides in Gloucester-place, having undertaken to pay every thing up to Friday next, before which they had promised to proceed to Deal. In fact, the same gentleman has, since the fatal event, again come for ward, and made himself responsible for the expenses necessarily arising therefrom. They had given Mrs. Perceval to understand that they intended to leave her house on the Tuesday, and had actually packed up their property, as if with that intention. The deceased told Mrs. Perceval that she expected a letter from Deal on Monday last, but none arrived. The pride of these ladies, particularly the deceased, appears to have been excessive, for upon Mrs. Per ceval once venturing to suggest to them that it was a pity, considering the state of their finances, they had not chosen less expensive apartments, the de ceased indignantly replied that the apartments were not a bit too good for them., FITTING UP A LIBRARY.—A steward wrote to a bookseller in London for some books to fit up his mas ter's library :—" In the: first place, I want six feet of theology, the same quantity of school metaphysics, and nearly a yard of old civil law, in folio."

The Ninth Number of MORGAN and CREUZE'S " Papers on Naval Architecture" contains several articles of general interest to Naval Officers. Though a work expressly carried on for the improvement of naval architecture must necessarily embrace many sub • jects, the investigation of which depends on difficult ma thematical analysis, yet we consider that the more articles contain practical descriptions and experimental results, of the more general utility the work will become, and of a more extensive circulation. The present number con tains a good description of Captain ELLIOTT'S method of fitting a ship's riding bitts without cross pieces, and of fitting a ship's launch to carry out or weigh a bower anchor. The following extract is taken from a valuable article, giving a detailed account of the new armament at all French ships of war, with their establishment of powder, small arms, &c., translated from an official document in the Annales Maritimes : FIRST RATE LINE•OF-BATTLE SHIP. On the lower deck, thirty-two long 30 pounder guns. On the middle deck, thirty-four short 30 pounder guns. On the upper deck, thirty-four 30 pounder carronades. On the quarter-deck and forecastle, sixteen SO pounder carronades and four long 18 pounders. For the boats, &c. one 18 pounder, and one 12 pounder carronade, four large swivels, and eight small ones. SECOND RATE LINE-OF-BATTLE SHIP. On the lower deck, thirty-two long 30 pounder guns. Oa the upper deck, thirty-four short 30 pounder guns. On the quarter-deck and forecastle, thirty 30 pounder carronades, and four long 18 pounder guns. For the boats, &c. the same as for a first-rate ship. THIRD RATE LINE-OF-BATTLE SIM. On the lower deck, thirty long 30 pounder guns. On the upper deck, thirty-two short 30 pounder guns. On the quarter•-deck and forecastle, twenty-four 30 pounder carronades, and four long IS pounder guns. For the boats, &c. the same as for a first-rate ship. FOURTH RATE LINE-OF-BATTLE SHIP. On the lower deck, twenty-eight long 30 pounder guns. On the upper deck, thirty short 30 pounder guns. On the quarter-deck and forecastle, twenty 30 pounder carronades, and four long IS poander guns. For the boats, Sze. the same as for a first-rate ship. *** The French 30 pounder is a little heavier than the English 32 pounder. We perceive by a notice in this number, that it is intended to give Admiral CHAraSAN'S celebrated work on ships of war, translated from the Swedish by one of the conduc tors, in the next numbers cf Papers on Naval Architec ture.--Hampshire Telegraph. (From a Morn i ng Paper.) In the Miscellanies of the Hon. Dailies Barrington, a quarto volume published in 17S1, the author, speaking of the early proofs of mu sical genius exhibited by the Earl of Morning ton*, father to the Duke of Wellington, takes occasion to mention the talent for a sister art displayed by a boy in the ninth year of his age. This boy afterwards became Sir Thomas Law rence. Mr. Barrington's words Are—" As I have mentioned so many other proofs of early genius in children, I cannot here pass unnoticed Master Lawrence, son of an innkeeper at the Devizes, in Wiltshire. " This - boy is now (viz. February, 1780) nearly ten years and a half old; but at the age of nine, without the most distant instruction from any one, he was capable of copying 'his torical pictures in a masterly style, and also sue .ceeded amazingly in compositions of his oist;i particularly that of Peter denying Christ. L about seven minutes he scarcely ever failed of drawing a strong likeness of any person pre sent, which had generally much freedom and grace, if the subject permitted. He is likewise an excellent reader of blank verse, and will immediately convince any one that he both under stands and feels the striking passages of Milton or Shakspeare." It is a matter of no little regret that Sir Thog. Lawrence has left no resemblance of himself in any shape. He never sat for his portrait or busf . ,. nor, we believe, did he ever make even the slightest sketch of his own likeness.± He had arranged with his townsman, Mr. Baily, • the sculptor, to give his first sitting for a bust on the 11th of the present month, Monday last. Casts - , we learn, were taken from the late Prcaident'ss face on Saturday last, both by Mr. Baily i to .vhom he always promised to sit exclusively, and Mr. Chantrey ; we may therefore indulge a hope that a correct likeness of this admirable artist and most accomplished gentleman will be ob tained, though necessarily bearing some marks of his fatal illness. The following traits of his well-known gene rosity have been sent us by another hand : " The first is of a living artist, whose name, from delicacy, we suppress : this artist, being a man of considerable merit and without patron age, had submitted three of his pictures to Sir Thomas's inspection. He called one evening at Sir Thomas's house, anxious to gain his appro bation, and, at the same time, to take them away. He sent up his name to the President, who followed the servant down stairs, put a paper, folded up, into the hand of the artist, saying, I had left this, should you have called whilst I was from home. I much admire your productions, and wish you every success.' The artist had only patience to get to the first lamp, when he was anxious to know what the paper contained : he unfolded it, and found within it a 301. note, which saved him from despair. " The next anecdote is that of Mrs. or Madame M., who was the widow of a highly endowed engraver. Being in great distress, she was advised to apply to Sir Thomas for his re commendation to the Artist's Benevolent Fund. On her interview the President candidly told her he could be of no service to her that year, as he had given away all his recommendations ; but,' says he, accept this in the mean time' (placing a 51. note in her hand), and I think I can " serve you with the council and body of Acade micians.' From that respectable body Sir Thomas obtained for Mrs. M. no less than 50/.!" While the too notorious Thurtell lay in prison for trial, Sir Thomas expressed a wish that he might be allowed without observation to take a glance of the atrocious villain, as he took his exercise in the prison yard. This modest re quest was not only refused him, but was after wards represented as an application to take a cast of the wretch's face before he was even tried, and information to this effect being actually con veyed to the reporters of several journals, who were present at Hertford for the purpose of mak ing observations on so notorious a criminal, the statement unfortunately appeared in this and other morning publications. It was in a paper now extinct, that the kind-hearted President saw the gross impeachment of his humanity one morn ing, when he was going to paint that admirable portrait of the King, in which his Majesty - is represented in a blue dress seated on a sofa, with his arm carelessly thrown over the end. Sir Thomas was so affected that he could hardly proceed with his work. The King observed his distress, and listened to the cause of it. The present Lord Stowell also consoled him, smi lingly, by representing the liability to which all great men are subject, of having their actions misinterpreted. • Mr. Barrington's anecdotes of Lord Mornington, which are very curious, are inserted at length in a memoir of the noble Earl, jut published in tke " Harntoaicon." f This we suspect to be erroneous; we believe he had a likeness of himself by kis own hand, which he very rarely showed to friends. The late Sir T. LAWRENCE, when about eighteen years of age, in the year 1788, came to Salisbury, and waited upon the late Dr. HANCOCK, then an eminent physician in that city, to whom he had a letter of re commendation. Dr. HANCOCK employed him to make portraits, in coloured chalk, of himself and his daughter. These portraits are now in the possession of a gentlernau holding an official situation in London, who married a grand-daughter of the late Dr. FlANcocx. He informs us that they are executed in a style fully equal to any of the lamented President's latest drawings. On the papoc pasted at the backs of the frames is the signature 4 . Tows. LAWRENCE," and on one of them the artist has written— " Be pleased to keep this from the damp and from the sun." Dr. HANCOCK recommended young LAWRENCE to go to Bath, and gave him several letters of introduction to his friends there. It was then much frequented by per sons of fashion and distinction, who were all eager to em ploy him. After remaining there some time, and becom ing a general favourite, he left that city for London. There is a sign at Hull, of the " March of Intellect." On the board are represented three chimney sweepers—one just descended front a chimney, having a cigar in his mouth—a second playing on a piano—and a third singing " I'd be a Butterfly !"

The wretched pair have latterly resided in a miserable cot, si tuated on the Moors in Aleester ; and the neighbours, who had long been aware of their cruel treatment to their children, were in the habit of secretly supplying them with bread. For the three last months they had been missing, and the most dreadful suspicions having been excited in the neighbourhood, a police-officer was sent to the dwelling of the inhuman parents, where the children were found lying on a bit-of straw, with scarcely a cover ing to protect them from the inc!emency of the weather. Their attenuated frames bearing ample evidence of the want of food, and of the recent infliction , of blows, were calculated to raise a doubt in the mind of the spectror, whether the objects before him belonged to the human c.r the brute creation.
