LITERARY REVIEW. The LIFE and ADVENTURES of. GUZMAN D'ALFA. RACHE or the SPANISH ROGUE. 2 Vols. 12mo. lI:BRADY. We regret that we have not had an earlier opportunity of noticing the amusing and interest ing little work which we have now the pleasure of recommending to the attention of our Readers, in whom we have no doubt that the very flatter ing commendation which it has received from the European Magazine and other Reviews will ex cite an interest much in its favour. We congratulate the Public" (says the EUROPEAN MA GAZINE) " on the addition which Mr. Brady has made to their literary amusements, and we are delighted to see our old friend Guzman in a modern dress. This is one of the most amusing books we know." We bear testimony to the fidelity and zeal with which this Gentleman has discharged his task.— He has preserved the simplicity as well as the spirit of his ori ginal, and has achieved the great difficulty,—that of avoiding any thing like coarseness in the relation of things which are ne cessarily, and in their nature, vulgar. In this instance, as in many others, he has satisfactorily shown that he has caught and felt the very spirit of his Author." We present our Readers with the following extract, which they will find amusing, and it will convince them with what fidelity the Beg gars of modern times adhere to the ancient laws of their order : " TITE LAWS OF BEGGING.—As beggars of every nation are distinguished from each other by their different modes of imploring alms ; as the Germans beg by singing, and in troops, the French by their praying, the Flemings by their respectful bowings, the Bohemians by fortune-telling, the Portuguese by their crying, the Italians by long harangues, the English by abusing, and the Spaniards by their haughty growlings: we hereby command them all to observe the following statutes under pain of our heavy displeasure. " 1. We forbid any lame or wounded beggar, of whatever nation he be, to appear in the quarters frequented by others full of health and vigour, on account of the advantage they will have over the latter. We also ordain, that all such as are in perfect health, form no manner of connexion with blind men, field-preachers, mountebanks, poets, musicians, redeemed cap tives, nor even with old soldiers that have escaped from a rout. or seamen saved from a shipwreck. For although it is gene rally allowed, that all these must subsist by imploring charity, their manners of lid. - fging being different, it is necessary that each society keep to its own particular rules. " 2. We ordain that beggars have certain, taverns assigned them in every country, where shall preside three or four of their ancients with staves in their hands as emblems of their autho rity.. Which said ancients are hereby empoWered to canvass, in the aforesaid taverns, all the affairs of the world, and to give their opinions as freely as they please. At the same time, we permit the other'beggars to relate their own heroic exploits, as well as those of their ancestors, and even to illustrate the con. versation by boasting of battles they were never in. " 3. We command that every beggar carry a good cudg e l i n his hand, with a spike at the end of it, if possible ,, to be pro trided against cnietgeneies, lqst the} repent of their neglect. - ", 4. That earh beggar take especial care never to presume to ~.~ /2 1, PICT 114 IL L I NG- OFFICE, Sept. 7 , 1821 . THE COMMISSIONERS for VICTUAL LING..

Be it, however, well understood, that if, in the exercise of his professional duties, a beggar chance to obtain some new garment, he is at liberty to deck himself out in it for that day, but no ldnger.. We positively Will and com mand, that he dispose of it the follow=ing morning. • " 5. To prevent any dispute that may arise between com rades for certain posts, we ordain that the more ancient posies sor prevail and take, precedence, without regard to persons. " 6. It is permitted that two infirm or sick persons beg in cOmpany, if they please, and call each other brothers ; provid ed they beg by turns and in a different tone, the one beginning where the other leaves off: They are to keep opposite each other on different sides of the street, each singing his own mis fortunes; they may afterwards divide their profits as • they • • please. " 7. It is permitted that a beggar wear an old disi:4:7o-at round his head in winter instead of a bonnet, that 1, , 2 is protected from the cold, he may at the same time appear - an in valid. They are likewise at liberty to walk with Crutches, or to have one leg tied up behind them. " 8. Every beggar may have a:purse and a pocket, but must receive alms in their hats only. " 9. We command, that no beggar be so indiscreet as to di vulge any of the mysteries of our trade, to any . but such as be long to our society. " 10. Should any beggar be so fortunate as to discover any new trick in the art of begging, he shall be obliged to commu nicate the same to the company, which ought to enjoy in com mon the benefit arising from the genius of any of its members. As a recompense, however, to the inventor, and to stimulate his genius to new discoveries, we decree, that he have an exclu sive privilege to make the most of his device for three months, during which time we peremptorily forbid any other belonging to our fraternity from interfering with his practice, under pain of confiscating to his use all the profits that may be derived therefrom. " 11. We exhort the members of this society, freely and faithfully to make known to each other all the houses where they know that eitherprivate or public alms are likely to be dispensed ; especially those in which gaming or courting is go ing forward ; for, in such places, large receipts are certain. " 12. We command, that no beggar presume to keep, or lead about with him, any hunting, setting, or other dogs ; blind men being allowed to be conducted by a little cur, with a string round its neck. This prohibition is not meant to extend to such of our fraternity as may chance to possess dogs of talent. These may be allowed to exhibit their performances as usual, by making their dogs dance or jump through hoops ; but they must not presume to take their station at a church-door, where other beggars of the society may be assembled, on account of the advantages they will have over them. " 13. We command, that no beggar venture to buy meat or fish in the market on his own account, except in a case of ex treme necessity ; very ill consequences may arise from so doing. " 14. We permit all such beggars as have no children of their own, to hire as many as four, to lead about with them into the churches on festivals; these should not be above five years old, and, if possible, should appear to be twins. If a female conduct them, she should never fail to have one always at her breast ; and if a man, he must be sure to carry one on his arm, and lead the next by the other hand. " 15. We command, that those beggars who have any chil dren, instruct them up to the age of six years in the best mode of making collections in churches ; that after having taught them to ask charity for their father and mother who lie on their beds at home most dangerously ill, they allow them to go alone, though it were better not entirely to lose sight of them. As soon, however, as these children shall have attained their se venth year, we command that they be left to shift for them selves, as being already majors, and that their parents be con tent to restrict and compel them to return home at stipulated hours. " 16. Beggars of the old stamp, who consider it a point of honour to walk in the footgteps of their ancestors, who have trained them to the profession of begging, will never allow their children to take any other trade than their own, nor to degrade themselves by entering into . the service of any one ; and if these children wish to be thought worthy of their parents, they will hold every other condition in abhorrence. " 17. Although idleness is the principal divinity worshipped by us beggars, we nevertheless think proper to prescribe cer tam hours of rising. Every one should dress and turn out by seven o'clock in winter, and by five in summer, or even sooner, if he feel so disposed ; and should be in bed again by the same hour in the evening, excep4 on extraordinary occasions, and ac. cording to the directions of the veterans of the society. " 18. P,e for ever declared infamous,- and banished from our society all such as shall presume to steal, harbour 'stolen goods, strip little children, or commit any such villanies. " 19. As it is our wish that all young persons who embark in our profession be treated favourably, we Will and o:dain, that for the future any brother who shall have attained the age of twelve years, shall•be only obliged to pass a noviciate of three years instead of five; and we insist, that after the said term of three years, he be considered a graduate in the profes., sion, and as a subject who ?gas duly complied with and fulfilled all the lawi of the institution. " 20. At the Same time we require of the said brother; that he make oath never to desert our society, but continue attached to it,"atid neirer . think of withdrawing himself from our service without Our espeeikl leave; promising to pay due submissibn and obedience to our statutes, under pain of our highest-dis pleasure." In conclusion, we have only to express our hope that the translator, who is the. Son of the late John Brady, Esq., the author of that excel lent and ingenious work, the arois Catenduria, may be induced to continue his labours, which we are well convinced will tend much to increase the public stock of information and amusement ; but we cannot forbear at the same time to say, that we should be more gratified to see some effort of original genius than a mere translation, however well it may be done, or however inte resting and valuable may he the work itself.

LANCASTER, SEPT. 20. THE KING AGAINST RIDGWAY. .Mi. Serjeant liuLLOCK.stated - that this was an indictment against the Defendant, DaYid Ridgway, for `publishing a libel against the-King, the Constitution, and Laws of the Country. The duty Of a prosecuting Counsel, on matters of this sort, lay within a narrow compass ; and he did not feel di s p os ed, a t any time, to exceed the limits Which, in his judgment, belonged to his situation. In this instance, more partuailarly, he felt Fit disposition to do so ; for it appeared to him that the language of this publication was too plain, and its object too distinct, specific, and manifest to be misunderstood by any person, who applied a fair and impartiolunticrstanding to the subject., It would, therefore,' be an impertinent waste of time if he was to occupy much of their attention in the outset. The libel, entitled " A New Year's Address to Reformers," was the lafne Tor. which Mary Ann Carlisle was tried in Lon don,. when the Jury separated without coming to a verdict. The ease was stated to the Jury by Mr. Serjeant BULLOCK. MI, 'BROUGHAM addressed them for the defendant, in a speech Of considerable length. The Jury, after deliberating about twO minutes, returned a verdict of—Guilty. SHERIFF'S COURT AT LANCASTER. HARSNETT V. 'COOKSON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought against tii . lizferTd:nts, the Pro prietors of one of the coaches from Liverpool to Manchester,'for carelessly driving the coach on the 2lst of May, by which it was overturned near the new bridge, Water-street, in Manches ter, and the Plaintiff's wife was dreadfully hint. She got a violent bruise on the hip and another in the bosom ; her 'face was also much lacerated, and will be, marked for life ; she was confined for six weeks in M anchester before she could be re moved to her residence at Liverpool; and she is not yet rem vered from the effects of her injuries. She was : in a state of pregnancy at the time. As the defendants had permitted ...Judgment to go by default, the only question for the Jury was, the amount of damages : these they fixed at Three Hundred' Pounds, and that sum was awarded to the plaintiff. BANKRUPTCY of HOWARD and GIBBS. The second meeting of the creditors under this commission having been appointed for Saturday, and it being confidently expected that a .choice of assignees would • take place at this meeting, there was a very numerous atter.- dance of creditors. Amongst those who tendered their proof were several very elegantly dressed females. Mr. lIITCHENs claimed to prove upon two bills of exchange for 10001. each, drawn by a young Marquis, and accepted by the bankrupts. Mr. KITCHENS had, on a forther day, proved for two similar bills which he held at the time of the bankrupt cy. The creditor now stated that he could not prove for these bills under the former commission; when he lissoved •the other two, inasmuch as he had them.not in his possession at the time. Mr. MosuraGuE now objected to Mr. llitchens' proving for these bills, inasmuch as his name was not upon them, and there were two. other persons who had endorsed them: - - Mr. HITCEIENS, in explanation of that circumstance, stated that the bills came into his possession, and he gave money-for them, under the following Circumstances :=The Marquiss had drawn, and Howard and Gibbs accepted, four bills for 1,0001. each; when dile they were not paid, and the Marquess was threatened with legal proceedings. He, Mr. Ilitchens, knowing the Marr guess, was anxious to save him from inconvenience; and on.four new bills being drawn by the Marquess, and accepted by the bankrupts, he took them, as broker, to endeavour to get ttiern discounted. Not being able to get them discounted immedi-, ately, he, Mr. Hitchens, advanced 4,0001. of his own money to Messrs. Iloward and Gibbs to take up the four hills over due.— After keeping the bills some time, ne got the two for which he now claimed to prove, discounted by Mr. Ridgway, who passed themtti Ni - r. Salter, he (Mf...llitchens) being only the broker, not putting his name on the bill. On the hills coining due, and the bankrupts not-paying them, Mr. Salter applied to sir. Ridg way, and received his money back. Mr. Ridgway then ap plied to Mr. Hitchens, on whose recommendation he had dis counted them, to have his money back : and on Wednesday Mr. Hitcheni paid the amount, and now desired to prove for them against the bankrupts' estate. Mr. MONTAGUE contended, that legally, Mr. .Hitcher could not do this, inasmuch as his name,-was not on the bills, and they were not in bis possession at the time of the bank ruptcy. The Learned:Counsel cited several cases, in which it was stated that an individual transferring a bill to another with out indorsing it, could not recover or prove afterwards against the bankrupt's estate, This decision was founded on equity, for it might happen that thebankrupt's estate might have a set oft' against the individual holding the bill at the time of the bankruptcy. • After some further observations from Mr. Hitchens, who urged that he had advanced the 40001. in fact, for Messrs. Howard and Gibbs, to enable them to tame up four acceptances of their's over due, The Cointhissioners expressed a wish that the question should stand over till the next meeting. Mr. CAXXOI.'s CLAI3I.---Mr. MONTAGUE then rose to ad dress the Commissioners in support of Mr. Carrol's Mr; 'slit (Mr. Carrol's Solicitor) was anions to apolOgira to the Commissioners for air. Carrot's non attendance on the day formerly appointed. Mr. Carrol l . however, understood at the time, that Mr. Montague had given notice to the Coinialis sioners of certain circumst a n ces h av in g occurred, which pre vented his doing so on- that occasion ; he would not, however, fail any future appointment which the Commissioners should make. Mr. MoNwAouE said, he should have to detain the. Commis sioners but a very short time on this occasion. The non-atten dance of Mr. Carrol, at the last appointment, arose put of the following circumstances :—On looking over Mr. Carrol's pa pers on the subject of his present claim, a short written memo randum was found, dated December, 1820, signed by Howard and Gibbs, in which they gave to Nil. Carrol a claim on a cer tain estate, their property at that time, for 16,000 L When this memorandum was read, it struck Mr. Carol's legal advisers that it was die: foundation of a good security ; and as Mr. Car rol preferred a live man• to a dead one, it beCarne a matter' of consideration whether they sc ould not abandon their claim for so much against the general estate of the bankrupts, and en force it against this particular estate.., -A consultation had ac conlifigly been held, at which Mr. Preston assisted ; and this caused' so Mild' delay as to prevent their attending the Com missioners at the time appointed. -. M r. TuiNsLAw said he had heard it stated that Mr. Carrol in tended to abandon his proof to the amount of 16,0001. and en force it against the estate in question. Mr. CA It LO r. was desirous of knowing from whom the Learned Gentleman had heard this assertion, for which there was no foundation. Ai r. ortt AG yE assured his Learned Friend 014 abandoned ngthing, The Commissioners said they would take the. claim at the next meeting.. Mr. KENT applied to prove for 40001. the amount of four bills of exchange, accepted by Mr. Gibbs, the bankrupt.' Mr. Kent's affidavit.was put in, in which he swore that he had give!' to Mr. Gibbs full Yaltic in cash liar these bills. Mr. MONTAGUE . wished to examine the bankrupt upon this, transactioP, to prove usury. Mr. ItosE submitted this could not be done. deposition was the guide ter the Commissioners. The COMMISSIONER.- 44 Mr. Kent, what consideration did you give for these bills ?" Mr. KENT.—" The full consideration, 40001., by a check on my banker." The COMMISSIONER..--" Minus the discount, of course:" Mr. KUNT.—" No, no discount; I gave a check on my banker for 40001. dated, 1 think, the tith of October. My check, no doubt, is in existence." The creditor' . . Mr. MostrAauE still maintained his right to examine the bankrupt on this subject. IIOSE denied that right. An inquiry,,as .to usury, must be Made in another shape. The Uommissioners decided that. the bankrupt should be exa mined ; and the examination was fixed for the next meeting. If they should see any rea s on t o think th ere was usury, still they were not to say the debt was bad ; ail they would then have to do would be to direct the creditor to present his petition to the t hancellor, that the transaction might be tally in!. vestigated... _ _ . Vie Commissioners then. appointed Saturday, the I3th of October, fbr the choice of assignees,.and said they would pre. viou.sly have two meetings, at which the creditors micht attan4t and prove their debts. The meeting then adjourned.
