To show that the Crown could not be allowed to wander oat of the bill of particulars furnished, he referred to the case of " the. King against Hamilton," 7 Carrington and Payne, page 453. In that case the prosecutors added to the end of the bill of particulars furnished by them a notice that they intended to produce further evidence not therein specified, and Mr. Justice Littledale said that it would be for the Judge at the trial to.deeide whether that further evidence, which was not included in the bill of particulars ; should be received. In the present case, no such notice as that referred to was attached td the bill of particulars, which was most minute and ample in its details. He submitted that the point should be decided— not in reference to the magnitude of the present trial, but according to the general principle of law ; and, confident that that was in his favour, he objected, on the part of Mr. Barrett, to the reception of the books in evidence. The CHIEF JUSTICE—When was the bill of particulars fur nished? Mr. M`DoNocu—On the 13th of November, 1843. The ATTOKNEY-GENER.AL concurred in the observation of Mr. M'Donogh that there should, in the decision to be made, be no distinction between this and any other case. He denied that the principle relied on by the opposite side was admissible. They were not bound by any rule of law in cases of conspiracy to enumerate all the evidence they intended to g ive. They were only bound to specify the nature of the ch arge. That was the principle established in all the recent decisions upon this subject, as the Court would find by an abstract of the cases bearing upon the point which their Lordships would find in Phillips upon Evidence, p. 492 (the edition of )838). It could not .for a moment be contended that the Crown was called upon to furnish in the bill of particulars the evidence upon which the charge of conspiracy was to be based. Judge BUKTON—The bill of particulars does not purport to give or to state any of the evidence that might be adduced. The ATTORNEY-.GENERAC said not, and referred to a va- M'Donogh. He said he was not aware that Mr. - Browne's ev:denee went further than that at some time or other he printed those documents for the Association, and was paid for them by the secretary. Judge By aTONsaid, he thought the question to be argued was, whether these documents, as given in evidence, were admissible, as not being contained in the bill of particulars? s%lr. Mootte slid, that was the question for the Court to decide, .but he wished to show, in the first instance, the na ture of the evidence given. He would submit that, as there was nothing to show these documents were adopted at any of the meetings at which the_traversers were present, they did not come within any of the three classes of evidence referred to by Mr. ISl'Donogh. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in reply upon behalf of the Crown, said that, as he understood the Counsel on the other' side, there were two arguments put forward by them in support of the motion; one of which was, that the evidence offered was not set out as an overt act in the indictment or bill of par ticulars, which it was the duty of the Crown to have given, if they intended to prove it. Now, he (the Solicitor-General) would say, that such an argument was a misconception of the j law upon the subject, for it would be a most extraordinary doc trine to lay down, that the Crown was to furnish a prisoner er defendant with the evidence to be brought forward against him. The CHILF. J vsncE pronounced his opinion. lie had been first greatly struck by the- arg uments of the traversers' co o n-el ; but, considering the nature o the charge against the traversers, he conceived that the Crown was not called upon to embody in the bill of particulars the precise evidence to be given ; the ob jection urged by the Learned Counsel for the traversers was, therefore, untenable, and the documents should be admitted. Judges BURTON and CA.AIII.TODI concurred with the Learned Chief Justice ; and Oak appear to be at the present time aroused to the necessity for some inqui►y into the application of funds which were left by pious and patriotic be nefactors fin. the advancement of religion and science, and in very many instances for the pro secution of these most commendable purposes by reliciting indigent merit. The expense of art education at either Cain bridge or Oxford has of late years been far too high to admit of any but those in Com paratively easy circumstances sending their sons to those institutions. But they are considered as national seminaries. How can this character rightly accrue to them when such obstacles exist to their realising the pur poses which so comprehensive a titlejuggests? The lowest annual expense at which a young man can pass through either of our Universities we should fix at 1501. This we consider is the lowest estimate which can be formed for an undergraduate's expenses. These expenses usually are much higher. We all know the force of a that a house in the same line of business as the notorious firm of CANDY and Co., and nearly as extensive, received notice of legal proceedings being instituted against theirs, for fraudu lent practices upon the revenue, ofa nature nearly similar to those which have so recently occupied the Courts of Law. The ease was assigned for hearing in a few days; but, on Thursday evening last, the delinquent firm shut up their premises, after having clandestinely sold off all their goods, and collected as many of their outstanding debts as they could. We should like to be informed what was the sort of " notice" which this firm received ? Was it in the first place given or obtained " clandestinely" (after the manner of doing business so prevalent, lately, in a certain department of the silk trade), in order to afford the defendants,--" for a consideration,"--a few days' preliminary warning of the intentions of Government? Or was any extent in aid sued out of the Exchequer, and officers pat in possession ? Was any personal service effected on the parties ? If so, was bail demanded and accepted,—and to what extent? Or did the Commissioners of Customs civilly write, with their compliments, to the parties implicated, begging to express their regret that from certain disclo sures which had lately come to the knowledge of the Board, the Board had been under the unpleasant necessity of directing legal process to be served upon the Messrs. —, and suggesting that, as the Court would be moved in this case on be half of the Crown, it would be well for the defendants to be pre pared with legal aid and counsel ? Preposterous as the hypo thesis suggested by this last question may appear, we protest that, abstractedly speaking, there is nothing improbable in it, looking to the dawdling, fencing, irresolute, shilly-shally, pur blind conduct of the Board of Customs throughout the whole history of wholesale plunder of the public revenue which has been, for years past, realised by acts of chicanery and fraud effected in that department of the public service over which it preside, ar►d of which acts, it is the universal feeling of the nation that it ought long since to have been cognisant. We have already complained of the disposition evidenced in the avowed acts of the Board to screen from punishment those in responsible stations, bet ween whose possible innocence of collusion and the guilt of whose absolute neglect of duty, the Commissioners in their Report appear to imagine that Parliament will be disposed to overlook the main question of resulting injury to the national income. In the present in stance it is believed that " not a farthing will be realised to the Crown." Yet the delinquents are described to have been not only a very extensive silk house, but large holders of landed and house property, and to have realised, each of them, 12,0001. per annum by their business ! They are understood to have invested their realised booty in the French funds ! Any case of more monstrous criminality, to say nothing of the effrontery which winds up their career by a fraudulent sale of stock and appropriation of outstanding credits, we have never heard of. Out of the transactions, which could have netted 24,000/. per annum of profit or income to the two partners, how many thousands of pounds yearly must have been diverted. by this one house alone, from the fiscal revenue of the country by schemes of smuggling successfully maintained on so stu pendous a scale ? spirit of emulation upon the actions of men. In youth the same feeling has influence, and there is far less discrimination to direct it into proper channels—a feeling which, if properly fostered, in after years assumes a liberal and most praise worthy bent, directing frequently to the accom plishment of purposes highly beneficial to man kind, in youth is liable to be perverted to a thou sand purposes injurious alike to society and the ir dividual. Hence we have young men of high birth, excellent capacity, and with high-spirited but misdirected natures, applying all .their energies to perfection in tandem driving, pigeon shooting, jockeyship, and other employments, which, at least, are inconsistent with the scope of a liberal and intellectual education, How much of the tendency to extravagance on the part of the upper classes of society in this country is attributable to the habits of profligacy and fully nurtured under the present system of .University education ! Is not a cheaper system of instruction—a system which might develop the eleemosynary resources of our colleges, and attract poor but enterprising scholars to their foundations—cot»patible with a course of study as efficient:as, if not superior to, the course which is now adopted ? in the Scotch and German Universities the eApenscs are, in many instances, not one-fourth part of what they are at Cam bridge and Oxford, and yet these bodies have furnished their full quota to the stock of learned, . wise, and pious men. But this is not all. On Saturday the City was startled by the further announcement that a " Custom-house agent," whose legitimate business profits were not less than 5,0001. per an num, " had absconded, in consequence of charges connected with the Custom-house frauds." He had been for many years engaged in clearing " silk goods at the Costom-house, for the principal houses at the West-end of the town." He had long " been suspected by the authorities ;" but very lately, only, c)uld any tangible evidence against him be got at. Ite, too, probably, has gone to invest his money —and his person--in the French capital ! What a school for easy fortune-making does the Custom-house ma nagement seem to have provided for astute rogues—not in grain, but—silk : for silk seems the fortunate staple of smug gling eaterprise now-a-days. The connexion, moreover, be tween the gross immorality and profligacy to which the more magnificent marts of fashion and luxury at the West-end of the town too fatally pander, with the daring fraud and con spiracy of these aspirants after illegitimate and monster profits, appears to be as intimate as that between the material of the staple in question and the official competency of the Commis sioners. The Custom-house agents and warehousemen must be as smooth,—the Custom-house officers and tide-waiters as pliable,—and beyond all question the Board of Customs quite " as soft"—as silk ! It would be well if sizarships, servitorships, and bible clerkships were more numerous and better endowed than they now are. It ought to be within a young man's power to live on the emoluments which these situations produce, instead of being obliged, as is at present the case, to draw largely upon the already shat tered resources 'of the paternal purse for main tenance during his college residence. In former times these endowmentsdid greatgood,by:eliciting obscure and indigent merit, and by providing a maintenance for those who, in after-life, occupied distinguished posts in various departments of Church and State. In later days like results, though of a disproportioned extent„ have fol lowed. Why should not amendments be intro duced whiCh might restore the utility of our collegiate establishments, infuse into them fresh j LONDON: TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 23, 1844. Those of our readers who may happen to be versed in SuaxseEAßE,—and who is there that is not ? cannot but remember FALSTAFF'S famous tavern bill, in which, on Hostess QuicKLy's showing, the quantity of sack drank by the "fat knight" amounted to eleven shillings—the quantity of bread eaten, to just one halfpenny ! Precisely the same proportion which "plump Jack's" bread bore to his sack the vigour of the public demonstrations made by the Monopolists bear to that. which is exhibited by the League. " Look on this . picture, and on this." In the one case we have a set of men meet ing under the avowed influence of fear and des peration, not in large, imposing masses, but in a snug, small family-party sort of manner, animated by no better feeling than a scrupulous regard for the interests of their breeches-pockets; mistaking stolid prejudice for enlightened conviction, and making abuse do the duty of argument—in the other case, we have a vast and hourly-increasing confederacy, united in the strictest bonds of a common necessity ; impressed with an earnest and conscientious feeling of the justice of their cause ; full of energy, resolutiOn, and activity ; familiar with every point of the great, question which they discuss, and able to track it through all its ramifications ; wielding the weapons of impassioned eloquence and matter-of-fact reasoning with equal readiness ; and, above all, prompted to inces sant exertion by a %veil-grounded confidence in their ul timate 'and triumphant success. In the case of the mo nopolists, we see—notwithstanding their frequent ex•: liortations on the subject—subscriptions trickling forth in a petty, shallow, languid stream ; in the case of the League, we see them rolling onward in a full, broad, deep, and rapid channel. The monopolists remind us of the setting sun, shining after a storms' day in cloud and gloom ; the League reminds us of the same luminary rising brilliant and unclouded in the. East, exhibiting every .promise of a serene meridian, ',and " rejoicing, like a giant to run its . course." To descend to the language of plain prose, the day of monopoly—and Heaven knows it has had a long enough day !—is fast passing away, and, like the duration of FAusTrs' life, must henceforth be reckoned by minutes; that of free-trade, on the con trary, is yet to come, and by the brightness of its dawn we may guess what will be its meridian. '['here is not a single public meeting held by the League— no matter whether in an agricultural or commercial district—that does not give fresh assurance of its. eventual triumph: Is a large subscription, called for ? it is immediately forthcoming, as though it pro eeoded froMthe inexhaustible purse of FORTUNATUS. Is an impassioned appeal or a matter-of-fact argument required ? Mr. BRIGHT is ever at hand to furnish the one, and Mr. COBDEN the other. In Scotland as well as in England, the members of the League are re ceived everywhere with open arms, and not a day passes hut they can number their recruits by scores. Would this be the case, if they were a mere selfish faction and highly needed vigour; rendering them, as they ought. to be, as they still may become, seminaries of a national, comprehensive, and 'un- Se.ctarian character, the boast of England, splen did- evidences of the intelligence, the opulence, and grandeur of our countrymen, and idle means, of handing down , the , lamp of philosophy with undiminished, and still accumulating splendour, to those who come hereafter in the course of scientific - research ? Accounts from Madrid to the 14th had been received. The new municipal law it would appear met with very little oppo. sition either in the capital or the provinces, but in casa of any serious resistance, the Government had resolved to call in the aid of the army. The Minister of Witt', had given orders to the military authorities under his orders to place the military force at the disposal of the Political Chiefs, whenever reluired by those functionaries, to subdue any and all attempts at resistance. The application of NARVAEZ to be allowed to resign the rank of Captain- General, had been refused. Her MAJESTY would hear no ex cuse, so the retiring and blushing youth must wear the title against his will. The returns of the city elections had not I been made up on the. 14th, but no doubt remained that all the new members would' belong to the Opposition. When, in the memorable year' 1829, Sir ROBERT PEEL brought forward the question of Catholic Etnan=! cipation, he expressly stated—and laid great stress on the declaration—that it was his intention to carry it out in a spirit of the most perfect good faith, and to render it as complete and comprehensive as possible. Henceforth, he said, the Catholics- should have no cause to compliin that they were not put on the same level with the Protestants ; the equality be tween the two professions should not be merely a nominal one, but an actual living reality, for the Relief Bill was one of wholesale conciliation, con ceived in a kindly, equitable spirit, and intended to hell the Wounds and redress the wrongs of ages, Fifteen years have passed since this magnanimous de claration was made, and what has been the conduct— we say nothing of the professions—of him who made it ? Did he, pursuant to his promise, co-operate with the Meranniase Alinistry in their well-meant endea vours to legislate for Ireland in accordance with the just and tolerant principles of . the Relief Bill ? Did he further the progress of the Municipal Reform mea sure, whose avowed object was to give the Catholics such increased privileges as they had every right to expect at the hands of hint who struck the fetters from their limbs, and told them that henceforth there should be no distinction between them and their 'Protestant brethren ? Did he uphold the tolerant Government of .Lords NOEMANBY arid FORTESCUE which for the first time held she balance even between the Catholics , and the. Orangemen, and conciliated all classes:. of the former, by im pressing them with ' the conviction that at length something like justice was done them ? Did Sir Ro- BERT PEEL act in this liberal and enlightened spirit, for which he took such praise to himself in the year 1829 ? Far otherwise. In order to assist the view of his party, and throw ehstacles in ,the way of the Whigs, he fairly " turned his back on himself"—to quote Lord CASTLEREAGH'S bright metaphor—and laboured hard to make a mere dead letter of that great remedial measure which, when he brought it for ward, he prothised should be an active, living prin ciple. Even since he has become Premier, and has been furnished. with abundant means oflegislating for Ireland in the equitable spirit of the Relief Bill, he has pursued his old, specious, and'one 7 Sided course of policy, giving nought hut smooth words to the Catholics, while he has reserved the substantial rewards for the Tory Protestants. As if this were not sufficiently galling, his Irish Executive—for whose actions he is of course responsible, as the in dividual who_ entrusted them with authority—have just shown the sister -country in what utter disregard they hold the spirit of the Emancipation Bill, by striking off, without a why or a wherefore, every single Catholic who . was on the list of th e j ury ap pointed to try the present State prosecutions. No wonder that all the members of this persuasion, from ' the peer to the peasant, are indignant at such a gross insult, which indirectly implies!that they :are not to be trusted on their oaths, but will return a verdict in .brazen defiance of evidence ! The proceedings of the Attorney e General in this ease are, to all intents and purposes, a practical repeal of one of the most ,valuable rights intended to . be secured by th e great measure of •Emancipation; and we are delighted, therefore, to find that the aggrieved Catholics intend to petition the QUEE N on the subject, and also to bring it fully under the notice of Parliament. Al luding to this important matter, Mr.. O'Cosceer. oh- Of all the questions which have been entered serves, in a recent letter to Mr. CREAN, that it should upon by the publi;l reformer in this countrV, be agitated distinCtly and separately, without the h there is no one which L slightest reference to the d question, of Rep ea l.

People Frauds. Miumisig the facts to be as stated, it would sppear The Three per Cents. were done on the 13th at 26} for the 22d of February ; the Fives at 19i at 60 days. The French funds still continue to decline, owing, it is said, to large sales made from day to day without any ap parent cause. On Thursday the Three per Cents. had fallen nearly one- per cent. within a few days. This was attributed to a rumour that the KING vas seriously indisposed, and it ap pears there was some ground for the report. On Tuesday his MaJesTY had a bilious attack, but on Thursday had so far reco vered as to be able to receive company. Nearly a hundred persons were received at the Tuileries in the evening. , In alluding to the Kt Nu's illness, and the fall in the funds, the Sleds says— .' The retrograde movement of public credit, in a period of profound peace, and, as the Minister boasts, afppblic pros perity, was the object of various conjectures or ;the Paris Bourse of Friday. The decline of the French funds on the preceding day was attributed to the KING'S health; but it was soon ascertained that this pretended indisposition was not of any serious consequence. The true cause of the decline in the French funds is the opinion entertained by capitalists that the Government will be compelled to resort to a fresh loan to wards the month of July. Another reason assigned on the Bourse was the apprehension entertained that the Govern meet proposed to execute the great lines of railroads without the intervention of any public Company," The illness of the KING is the more probable cause. The Three per Cents. on Thursday closed at 82f, fic., while on Saturday, after it was ascertained that his MAJESTT Was quite sell, they had risen to 82f. 60c. The debate on the address in the Chamber of Deputies continued on '1 hursday and Friday. On the latter (lay it. was confined to four Members of the Opposition, MM. DE LA STEVAIE, GAILNIEE PAGES, and Ducos, and Al. BILLAULT, who spoke last. He moved an amendment to sub stitute for the pa ra g ra p h in which occurs the phrase " entente cor diale," the foll owin g :—" In these two cou n t r i es ( G reece being t he andSi'ail m Spain) liberties the natural frie n d s o f F rance, may the monarchy and th e er o t r ie e s closely of the peopl e d er i ve new strength from their allied. The sincere friendsh Il with hich your Majesty is allied to the Queen of ENGLAND, and the accord that you announce to exist between your Govern ment and hers, confirm us in this hope." In reference to Spain, Al. BILLAULT said.-.." Could it be supposed that E n g land, in 1843, would have so sudd en ly changed herpolicy of ages with regar d to Spain ? Since the wsucc ess ion she had only soug h t to destroy the influence of France e in e n S y Spain : and should an E ng li sh Ministry one day resolve to r enounce this line t policy, it wou ld f a ll b eneath the weight public animadversio n . A n Ambassador had been sen t to Spain —a man well known for his sympathy f or th a t r c e a rr o v aef e n d c o fr o country; but an intrigue brought about by English influence had prevented his entering into diplomatic relations with , the Spanish Government. When the recent events in Spain permitted France to renew her diplomatic relations with that country, the same Ambassador should have been again seat, but he had been re p laced b y another ; this was not all , the English A m b a ssador at Aladrid having appeared too favourable to France, the English Cabinet had replaced him by Mr. BuLwE a, who is known to profess the political principles of Lord PA L -111EIRSTON—hostility to France. A concession had, in truth, been made by England to France, by consenting that the Queen of SPAIN should marry a Neapolitan Prince ; but a concession has also been made by France to England by an equal participation of commercial advantages in Spain. The difficulties, however, on that subject were well known." they had not the vast majority of the industrious classes con their side ? The best proof that the League is a national necessity, is its rapidly extending influence and by the_ growth of this influence we may estimate the pressure of the necessity. Justly remarked Mr. GIBSON, at the great free-trade meeting held on Fri day last at Manchester—" We were told that manu facturers and commercial men had adopted the prin ciples of the League because it happened that at that partiCular time there was embarrassment in their af fairs, there were difficulties in trade, there was de- pression. But is it so ? Do we find that with changes in trade, with a partial revival of commercial affairs, with a falling price in agricultural produce, this agi tation has lost ground ? No. Do we not see the League meetings as enthusiastic assemblies as ever ? And why do we see this ? Because the great body of the commercial community of this country see the question in its true light." This. is regarding the matter in a proper view . ; and in these few significant words, we have the true secret of the success of the Anti-COrn-laW League: It prospers, because its ex istence is.necessary to the best interests of the com munity; but the instant it ceases to. represent those interests, it will sink, like the agitation of the mono polists, into mere insignificance. GUIZOT. towards the close of the sitting said ho in ended not only to apply to the Hon. Member, but to lay be. `ore the Chamber a statement of that part of the general position of the affairs of the country. He should therefore propose to adjourn the discussion to the neat day. The debate was accordingly adjourned. BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, JAN. 20. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

The Consol Market, which had rather a heavy appearance in the morning, rallied before the termination of business, one or two purchases having sent up the prices to 973. Bank Stock touched 193 ; and India Stock, 275 to 276. The Foreign Bonds continued buoyant. Mexican, for Account, were done as high as 333. Spanish Three per Cents, rose to 31 and 31i. Portuguese Converted closed at 46k. Buenos Ayres were - Ai to 3114 ; and Russian, 117. The additioral transactions in Railway Shares have been these .—Bristol and Exeter were 3 to 33; Brighten, 63; Rlackwall, 104; Greenwich Preference, 13 to 13 ; and South Eastern, 143 to 3 discount. Edinburgh and Glasgow, 9 ; Great Western, 35 ; Birmingham, New Quarter, 28; Croydon, 23 ; Manchester and Leeds, 74 ; Norwich and Brandon, 2k to 2 ; and North Midland, Half, 6 premium. Australasia Bank Shares were 53 ; London Joint Stuck, 23 ; and Union of Australia, 3 to 2* premium. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday was firm. Sales, 6,000 bales, including 3,000 on speculation.—Railway Shares remained good, and had an improved tendency. Eastern Counties were 10!. 13s. ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 38i ; Grand Junction, 234 ; Great Western Halves, 70k; Liverpool and Manchester, 224 ; Birmingham, 244; Ditto, New Thirds, 42; Paris a n d O r l eans, 333; and South Eastern, New, 353. There are several arrivals to-day, and we have the nume rous West India files of papers together with the private letters received in the City, on Saturday evening, when business in general had ceased, though a few of the firms most interested having received intimation of the expected delivery, had thoir employes in attendance. We find much of the old story in these advices, though from Jamaica parties write that. labour was not so scarce, some of the more sterile and " used up" plantations having been abandoned as altogether un profitable. This is a result that can surprise no one acquainted with the West Indies, where capital and energy requires to be diverted to new channels and not to he frittered away in the old routine of slavery times. The weather in the greater part of Jamaica was too dry, and the same in Barba does, but Trinidad and Demerara fared better. The latter continues actively to bestir itself in endeavouring to procure labourers from some quarter or other. There are advices to-day from Australia also, viz., Sydney, September 10 inclusive, and I'ort Philip August 27. The first session of the Legislative Council had commenced, and the Governor had delivered a very neat address, devoid of any crotchets of his own, and in a tone calculated to revive the drooping spirits of the colonists. Trade continued in a very bad state, and nothing was doing except for urgent wants. Money was still scarce. From Buenos Ayres there are dates to November 4, when the Rosas party were more sanguine than ever of the capture of 'lonte Video, which was described (in intercepted letters from Madame Rivera. the wife of the President of the Orien tal Republic) as in a very straitened position. A ship, arrived at Havre, brings dates of Nov. 29, win n the exchange was 253. No treaty negotiations are spoken of. The funds have been steady at the closing rates of Saturday, but have not exhibited any buoyancy.

A surplus in the Spanish revenue would certainly be a wonder. "ortuguese Converted Bonds have been again done as high as 453 to 46. Mexican are 33 to 333, which is an improvement.

The King of Hanover arrived at Berlin on the Bth inst.

The following instance of dear law is related by one of the Paris journals :—" A person named P— was owed a sum of 19f. 90c. by a at.

Theatre [royal, Haymarket, January 20. Sir,;---4 regret having to trouble you again, but in stating in my letter to you, which you were kind enough to insert on Sauday last, that "that great fosterer of the legitimate drama" (meaning, of course, Mr. Macreafy), " never gave m ote th an 3061. tor a fi ve act play," I did not make it appear that I al luded only to Mr. M.'s memorable moral management (de lightful alliteration). of Old Drury, and which was preceded by an oration at the Literary Fund dinner, remarkable only for egotism and misstatement, and that awfully virtuous and re fulgent squib, otherwise the preliminary circular pre paratory to opening the previously desecrated temple of Shakvcare, where the really beautiful scenic effects of Attie and Galatea, and the Anglicised Italian opera of Sappho (not taken from the French), restored it to its pris.. tine and originally-conceived glory. What with the plated encomiums attending Mr. M.'s retirement from Drury-lane, and I had forgotten " the blaze," as one of his friends termed it, with which he went out of Covent-garden, where Shak speare was so painted and guarded with copper lace, that he " smelt April and Nay" as much as any master of ceremonies to a sweep's holiday. Talk of resuscitating Shakspeare! why he would not have known himself, his eyes would have been " worth all the rest o' the other reuses." and he would have exclaimed, with Neil in the Devil to Pay, dream'd of Heaven, and this is it." But to the point in question. lam informed by the Argus-eyed friends of Mr. Aiaerearly, who guard the Hespertan fruit of that dramatic garden, that he cid actually pay .•;00/. for t e plsy of Richelieu, having had the Lady of 1,y0,s giv. n which, according re my caicula:u,n. w s ra: nig the two at eat:: ; and that.

A. 05 AFTI:tf POW:TEEN YEARS. —AhotE fourteen years ago a most brutal murder was committed in the tow,. of Mai yboreugh, in the house in which Mr. 1 urpin now resides, the perpetrators of which have been arrested, and, it is hoped, will be nreughr to justice As the circumstances of the case may not be known to many of our reader., we ma) here give them as concise yas posslsle. A respectable old couve, named Cowen, resided iu the house, with their net hew, and a servant girl named Grimes ; a man and his wite,nameo Drennan. who were in the habit of working for them, also resorted to the house. A con spiracy was entei Lel into betwe: n the nephew and these hers to take away the lives of his relatives, that he might get their property ; and on the evening of the murder he took his ureic to evening prayers, leaving his aunt alone in the house. Grimes took the dogs out of the way, and Drennan entered by the back door, and with a loaded butt drove the poor woman's spectacles into her brain, as she sat reading. He then dragged her towards the ha I door, that it might appear she had fallen down stairs. Drennati's wife then went over to see that the foul deed was accomplished, and ending that she still breathed, she chopped her face nearly off with a spade. Circumstances came out which at. cached suspicion to the nephew, and he was tried, but for want of evidence was discharged on his own recognisance. Grimes has since led a wretched life; and having been some time ago ar rested for some crime, she was put in gaol, fell dangerously ill, and has made a full confession of tLe foregoing facts. She has since got better, but still persists in her statement; and on her deposi tions Drennan and his wife have been arrested. For two years subsequent to the murder, Drennan, though repeatedly sought for, could not be found; and it is reported that Cowen, the nephew, was killed in s drunken row shortly after the crime. But it is earnestly hoped that the perpetrators of this diabolical deed will soon be brought to deserved punishment.—Leinster Erpress. EXECUTION AT YORK.—Between twelve and one o'clock on Saturday Joseph Dobson, who was 25 years of age, was executed behind the Castle at York, for the wilful murder of his father, by shoting him at Mount Tabor, near Halifax, on the 4th of July last. The usual procession accompanied him to the scaf fold, the burial service being read in an impressive manner. On the termination of the funeral prayers, Mr. Salssn shook hands with the culprit, saying, " Good by_ God bless you. Dobson ;" to which he distinctly replied, " I am in His arms now." His lips con. tinued moving in prayer until the executioner placed the cap upon his head, and after adjusting the rope with much minuteness, the bolt was drawn, and the poor fellow launched into eternity. His struggles were scarcely perceptible. . 60 LOSSAL. LONDoN.—AII admit Lor4:11 to be en titled to the appellation of " the great Metropolis ;" and yet few arc, perhaps, aware of its really immense and colossal extent, From a curious calculation it has been estimated that, to make another metropolis, it would require 534 towns as large as Hunt ibgdon !-534 towns to make one city! Further, that 69 of the principal cities and towns of England (including Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham, Nottingham, &c.) would not produce a popula ion equal to that of Giant London, It is also calculated that a pope. tion equal to that of the city of Salisbury, is added to London every three months I.
