CHESS We have received the following in answer to the challenge which appeared in our paper of yesterday:— " Paris, Jan. 14. " I have read in your journal of this morning a letter from Mr. Staunton, to which I shall feel obliged by your pAlishing the following brief, and, I think, conclusive reply. I have played two matches with Mr. Staunton ; I won the first, and last the second.

TIER MAJESTY'S BUCK HOUNDS.—The celebrated stag, Rory O'More, afforded yesterday one of the best runs this season ; the meet, at which Lord Rosslyn and a field of nearly two hundred were present, taking place at Gerrard's Cross Common. Rory, omi being uncarted near the Pig and Whistle, on the Beacons field.road, made for Chalfont St. Giles's, across Bulstrode Park, to Hedgerley village, and Burnham Beeches, crossing Littleworth and Woburn Com mons, and thence to Bone End, where it crossed the Thames to Berkshire, the hounds being taken over Cook ham Bridge. Upon being again laid on near the village of Cookham, the stag went away to Quarry Wood, where it doubled to the left, and swam the Thames a second time, landing on the Bucks side, and was taken at Great Marlow, after a capital run of an hour and a half. SINGULAR DEATH OF A CHILD FROM EATING A PIECE OF CANDLE. — Yesterday a fine little boy, named Thomas Morgan, two years and a half old, a son of Captain Morgan, residing at No. 13, Wathey -street, Commercial-road, St. George's-in-the East, by some means obtained a piece of candle, and contrived, before he was discovered, to eat a considerable portion of it. About three hours afterwards he was seized with a vio lent vomiting, by which some part of the candle was ejected ftom the stomach. Mr. Hawkins, surgeon, of the Commercial-road, was called in, and, upon being in formed of the cause of the attack, administered the ne cessary remedies ; but in vain, for the child died in a few hours. HE RETRIBUTION STEAM FRIGATE.—This mag nificent vessel, the largest steam-frigate in the service, left Blackwall on Thuasday morning for Chatham. She got under way at ten minutes past seven A.N., and proc,eded until she reached Gravesend, at a re duc, d speed, in consequence of the numerous vessels coming up the river, it being nearly high water when she stsrted. Upon her arrival at Gravesend she stopped her engines for ten minutes to land a gentle man who had proceeded thus far in her, and upon resuming her course, it was resolved to try her, at full speed, in order to test her own as well as the capabilities of the engines. The trial was particularly in teresting, and the result was most satisfactory, as the speed of the vessel after leaving Gravesend was fifteen mile, per hour, and it was the general opinion of all on boat d, that when she gets deeper in the water sbe will even increase her speed. The total a eight of the whole machinery is nearly 600 tons ; yet, notwithstanding this immense weight, and their extraordinary size and power, the engines worked with the greatest ease, and were as readily controlled by the engineer as any of those in the smallest river steamer. It might have been supposed that when this immense mass of ponderous machinery was set in motion with such velocity, that the vibration would have been very considerable. Such, however, was not the case ; for when the vessel was going at her greatest speed nothing of the sort was in the least perceptible, and persons below would not have known but that the vessel was at anchor. She brought up in the Medway, within four miles of Chatham, at 10 50 A.M., the tide not enabling her to proceed further. There is no instance on record of any vessel having made such an extraordinary quick passage before, as the whole distance was run in three hours and forty minutes. She was taken from Blackwall for Chatham under the com mand of Captain Smith, of Woolwich Dockyard. Mr. Lie). d, the engineer-in-chief of that establishment, was also on board, as well as several other scientific indivi duals. Upon the making of the flood tide she got under way again, and proceeded on to Chatham. SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.—We are glad to learn that within the last fortnight the Carlisle manufacturers have advanced the handloom weavers' wages fully nine per cent., making a total advance of 20 per cent. on wages since the spring of 1844. BRADFORD.—REPRESENTATION OF THE EMIOUGH. —A good deal of talk has been occasioned by the ap • pearance among us, during the last two or three days, of Mr. Wilberforce ' one of the borough c a ndid a t es at t h e last election. Whether his visit is connected with a political object or not, we cannot ascertain, but certainly, taken in conjunction with the fact of Mr. Hardy's late illness, it looks suspicious. He was staying at Scarr Hall with Mr. Pollard, and visited his old political supporters. —Leeds Times. The Hon. C. A. Murray, who is now convalescent, left Windsor Castle on Wednesday for town, and is ex pected to proceed, in the course of a few days, to Naples, to enter Upon the duties of his new appointment, as Secretary of Legation at the Neapolitan Court, NEW THEATRE IN SHOREDITCH.—The new theatre which has been for some months in the course of erection in Shoreditch, facing the Eastern Counties Railway, has at length been completed, and is to be opened on Mondaa evening. It is one of the most elegant and cepacious minor theatres in existehee The building has been erected under the entire direction of Mr. Gibson, the architect. It will contain an audience of 2,200 people, namely—gallery, 700; pit, 1,000; and boxes, 500. The gallery is so constructed that an entire view of the stage ran be obtained from every seat, The front rows of the pit are rather below the level of the stage, it then rises on a slope and the back rows are on a level with the stage. The boees are so divided that no inconvenient pressure can arise from a full house. An eedellent arrange ment is made with regard to the approach, so that those who have an objection to a saloon can enter and leave the theatre without coming into contact with it. The saloon is large, and fitted up with every regard to comlort and ease. The stage is thirty-seven feet from wing to wing, and nearly fifty feet from the foot lights to the back. Beneath it is an arena for horsemanship (during an equestrian season) forty feet in diameter. To display this the stage will travel with the greatest ease to another part of the building, so that the delay in preparing the arena will be as short as if a usual interlude followed. The proscenium boxes draw back to prevent any obstruction to the view, and, as the curtain rises, a pair of very elegant Corinthian gold moulded pillars draw off at the side, leaving the stage its entire size during the dramatic representation, and closing again as the act drop falls. The divisions of the boxes are supported by Corinthian columns, gold moulded, and the dome is in strict accordaece with the same style of architecture. The interior of the boxes is hung with crimson. The ceiling is divided into six com Tnements, with the following devices ;—" Tragedy, Music, the Dramatic Poet, attended by Fame and Ap plause; the Comic Poet creating his subject; the Painter's Dream, and Romance borne by two youthful poets." The circle between the boxes and gallery are decorated with nautical and equestrian sketches in the panels, whilst the circle between the boxes and pit are in the arabesque style, with vignettes and various devices. The house will be lit by a chandelier of a novel description. The building lays great claims to external elegance, and opens under the joint direction of Messrs Johnson and Nelson Lee, late lessees of the Pavilion Theatre, SLOUGH, FRIDAY.—Mrs. Hadler (the mother of the unfortunate Sarah Hart, who was murdered at Salt hill, on the Ist instant), with her husband, left the neigh bourhood of the melancholy catastrophe yesterday morn ing for Gravesend, taking with her the two children of the deceased.

THE POOR KNIGHTS of WINDSOR A very important document connected with the en dowment of this ancient order has recently been disco vered among the archives of the Court of Wards and Liveries, which promises to become the subject of legal controversy, involving, as it does, the rights of the Poor Knights of Windsor to the distribution among them of a large and hitherto unappropriated income. The docu ment in question is a verified copy (signed by Cecil, Lord Burleigh) of the charter, under the sign manual of Queen Elizabeth, instituting the above order, and bears date the 20th of August, 1558. The following is extracted from the indenture prefixed thereto .—" And whereas divers manors, lands, tenements, and heredita ments mentioned and contained in the schedule hereunto annexed, of the clear yearly value of 600/. and above, are given and assigned unto the dean and canons of Windsor, and their successors, to and for the intent and purposes that all and singular the premises, the revenue, and profits of the same shall for ever be employed and bestowed in the maintenance and sup port of thirteen poor knights within our Castle of Windsor in such manner and form as in a book hereunto annexed, and signed with our sign manual, is set forth and declared." Following this is a covenant, on the part of the dean and canons, " to employ the rents, revenues, and profits of the same, in such manner and form as is therein set forth and appointed." The charter then goes on to state that the annual sum of 2314 6s. Bd. shall be applied out of the same towards paying the vicar's and serving priest's wages, officers' fees, and in the repairing of the lands. The book annexed to the indenture con tains a description of the services to be performed, a schedule of the lands, and an account of the privileges to be enjoyed by the knights. The present value of the endowment is upwards of 11,0001. per annum, although the stipend hitherto paid to the knights has never exceeded 401. a-year. Until the discovery of this interesting and valuable relic, which appears to confirm the right of the knights to the full appropriation of the endowment of their order, it was concluded that the charter of Elizabeth, and all copies thereof, were in the possession of the dean and canons of Windsor, and no access thereto has ever been permitted to the knights. The opinion of counsel has been taken upon the sub ject, which is stated to be favourable to the knights, and proceedings will be immediately instituted to recover their rights. The schedule of the lands is interesting, as showing their N alue in the time of Elizabeth. The following are some of the principal extracts from the charter, with the annual rentals annexed:— "Cornwall —St. German's Parsonage, 48/.; Plympton St. Mary's, 461.; Plumstock Cnapel, 41L; Bradwynk Rectory, 36/.; Wirnbum Chapel, 301.

" Middlesex—lslewerth and Twickenham, .26/. 13s. 4d. " London—Blossoms Inn, 161. &c., &c., forming a total of 6611. 6s. Bd. The copy of the charter is deposited in the Record office, and remains in an excellent state of preservation. It is engrossed on vellum, and amongst other attractions, not forgetting the autograph of the celebrated Cecil, is a likeness of the royal founder of the order of the Poor Knights, which is ascribed to Holbein. REPORTED DEATH OF THE EM PEROR OF RUSSIA. In reference to the report of the death of his Imperial Majesty, which has created so great a sensation, we shall not enter into any speculations or calculations. We merely afford to our readers, as we have heretofore done, the statements which have issued from the source from which the report emanated. Our Belgian correspondent in his letter, dated " Brus sels, Thursday evening, Jan. 16," says :—" I have not received, in relation to the reported death of the Em peror of Russia, any intelligence since I dispatched my letter yesterday, which can enable me either to deny or to confirm positively the report so confidently announced by the Eclair and other Brussels papers of Tuesday night ; but the authenticity of the statement, which had obtained for itself general credence, is now very m uc h doubted here." Our correspondent at Amsterdam, writing on the 15th inst., expresses a similar opinion, and mentions th at " the Journal d e l a Ll aye states that no intelligence of the Emperor of Russia's illness had reached that place." Our Paris correspondent, dating is letter Thursday evening, says : " Berlin papers of the 6th, state that letters had been received from St. Petersburgh, announcing the illness of the Empeor. Great ag i tat i on was felt at the Russian Embassy." —Herald. NEW PROJECTED RAILWAYS. (From the London Gazette of Last Night.) RAILWAY DEPAR IMENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, JAN. 17, 1845.

FLOCK OF GOLDFINCHES.—On Saturday afternoon a very numerous flock of goldfinches were observed to cross the North Inch from Balhousie, and alight at the river side, a little above the horse watering•place. Con sidering that for many years the goldfinch, the most beautiful of our native feathered songsters, has been a rather scarce bird, and that seldom more than from twelve to a scoreittive been discovered together, such a flock as thatlaryvn On Saturday—upwards of 100, is some what reiafFtgibie. Somehow or other, several bird fanciers in the' 4. town hid so early information of the chance of making a fine capture, that the birds were not many minutes alighted, when call-birds and limed twigs were placed round them in every direction. The wild goldfinches would not, however, take the twigs, and in a short time they rose in a body, and flew in the direction from whence they came, to the sad disappointment of the fanciers, who expected to take a dozen or so of them ; and for which, had they been successful, they would have made a very handsome sum, as male goldfinch readily brings from 4s to as., and a female 2s. 6d. The appearance of so nume rous a collection of these birds is said to betoken a storm in the north.—Perthshire Courier, MR. BRIGHT'S VISIT TO DURHAM. (From the Sunderland Herald.) On Wednesday evening John Bright, Esq., the talented member for this city, addressed the electors and other inhabitants in the theatre, Saddler -street. Immediately after the doors were opened the building was crowded to excess, and hundreds of persons were unable to obtain admission. At seven o'clock Mr. Bright appeared on the stage, accompanied by a large number of his friends and con stituents. He was greeted on his appearance with loud and enthusiastic cheers. On the motion of Mr. Oliver, seconded by Mr. J. E. Marshall, JOHN HINDERSON, Esq., was called to the chair, who opened the proceedings in an appropriate speech, during which he referred to the fact that former representa tives of the city had not been in the habit of meet ing the inhabitants in this manner. They were much indebted to Mr. Bright for having introduced so good a custom.—(Applause.) Mr. BRIONIFT was hailed with rapturous cheering. His speech occupied nearly two hours in its delivery, and many of its passages were extremely able and eloquent. We are only able to present our readers with a brief abstract. He commenced by stating the object of their assembly, which was that he might advert to his votes during the last session of Parliament, state to them his views of the present position of the free-trade question, and receive from them any hints or suggestions as to their wishes for the future. He was sorry to hear that similar meetings had not been hereto fore held in the city of Durham, for he was convinced that nothing was of more importance than that Members should frequently meet their constituents, especially when the connexion which subsisted between them was only of a political character. Members were far too apt to be profuse of promises on the hustings, and forgetful of them in the House of Commons. His professions as a candidate were chiefly confined to one questicn—the question of free trade, in the fullest sense of the word ; not in corn only, but every other article of import, and with respect to every article of domestic or home mann facture.—(Applatise.) The peculiarity of the circum stances attending his election seemed to demand that such a meeting should take place, for he came to the city an entire stranger, not knowing a single individual in it, and having no reputation here, save the fleeting and un satisfactory one arising from his name often appearing in the columns of the newspapers. They were satisfied with his professions, and sent him to Parliament; he had now returned to give them an account of his past conduct, and ask their approbation of the past, and their support for the future.—(Applause.) In taking a review of the mea sures of last session, he first adverted to the question of the sugar duties, explaining the discriminating duties as they existed previous to the alteration made by Government, and vindicating himself and his colleagues for the vote they gave in favour of Government and against Mr. Miles 's amendment on that question—. an amendment which, he said, was supported by the Whigs simply with a desire to outvote the Ministry. Next came Mr. Villiers's motion for a repeal of the corn-laws, and on the second night's debate the late Whig Ministers absented themselves from their usual places in the House--it was a studied insult to the advocates of free trade, because they refused to vote with the Whigs to turn out the Tories. The only exception was a nobleman nearly allied to this county, the representative of a neighbouring borough —be al luded to Lord Howick—(Applause)—and his speech was perhaps—he was going to say without any exception— the most powerful and the most beautiful speech he had ever heard in defence of free trade.—(Applause.) The Whigs attempted to lessen the minority on that division, but they did not succeed; the same number of votes was registered in its favour as on the preceding year, whilst from 20 to 30 voted with the League in 1844, who had never voted with them before.— (Applause.) Later on in the session Mr. Gibson proposed that a Government Commission should be issued to go down into Suffolk, Essex, and parts of Cambridgeshire, for the purpose of ascertaining the causes of the incendiary fires which were then raging. Mr. Gibson is a Suffolk landowner, although he represents Manchester, and as the squires who represented the rural districts sat and voted as if they had left an Elysium, he felt it his duty to bring forward the question. The commission was not issued, the incendiary fires had gone on and are going on still, and Government and the landowners refused to inquire into the cause of this lamentable state of things. He (Mr. Bright) said that the prevalence of incendiarism showed that there was something rotten in the state of the agricultural districts —something was out of joint, when men, honest and well-meaning as any then pre sent, were tempted or driven to raise their hands against the property of their neighbours and employers; and the members of the League would have been wanting in their duty if they had neglected to bring this important matter before Parliament, especially when they found it was a subject which the representatives of the agricul tural counties were afraid to grapple with. After some further statements, the Honourable Member continued: —No party had ever yet been able to make the Leagne a tool or instrument to aid its 'Purposes, and no party should ever do so.—(Cheers.) He then adverted to the importance of free trade, and to the increased commerce which it would bring between this and other countries. Their opponents knew that free trade was good, or why did they rejoice over a free trade tariff for China? Sir Henry Pottinger had been feted, and eight or nine thou sand pounds had been subscribed (chiefly by monopo lists) to purchase an estate for him, because when the Chinese were in a very humble mood, as most men are when they are beaten, he established a tariff, by which wheat and provisions of all kinds should enter China free of duty, the ships which brought them being also free from the usual port charges; by which there is to be no discriminating or protective duties; and, according to which all duties for revenue are to be moderate. Now this was just snch a tariff as the League wanted; and if it was good for China, he did not see why it should not be good for England; yet the very men who lauded Sir Henry Pottinger for doing this for China heaped calumny and abuse upon the Anti-Corn -law League, because they were anxious to establish such a tariff in England.— (Loud applause.) After adverting at considerable length to the injurious operation of the corn-laws, and showing that the present state of commercial prosperity was owing to the cheap price of bread, arising from a bountiful harvest (which blessing would be perpetuated by a repeal of the bread tax), he stated the means which the League was now employing, viz., increasing the county constituencies by the addition of free trade voters, for hastening the abolition of monopoly. In re viewing his own conduct during the last session of Par liament, he had only one cause of regret, and it was that he had suffered the Night Poaching Bill to pass without opposition, a Bill which made it equally criminal for a man to be found armed on the high road as in his neighbour's lands. This Bill was smuggled through the House, and he had lost sight of it. He the more re gretted this circumstance, because he believed if any one Member had fairly opposed it, it would not have passed. He had some consolation, however, in believing that now, when the evils of the game-laws have become so fearful that a reconsideration of them must speedily take place, this further extension of them would add to the hatred against a system more tyrannous and galling than any that ever existed—a system which in 1843 consigned 4,b00 of his fellow-countrymen to gaol, and which, within the lest ten years has caused the deaths of 41 game keepers, in 26 of which cases verdicts of wilful murder were returned by the coroners' juries, besides the death of a great number of poachers. If anything could add to the hideousness of the features of these laws, it was the measure which was passed in the last session of Parliament. He had already given notice of his inten tion to bring forward a motion in the next session for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the ope ration of the game-laws, especially as they affected the prosperity of the farmer, and the morals and comfort of the labourer. He hoped and believed that the Govern ment would grant him a Committee on this important subject, and he anticipated much benefit from their labours. Mr. Bright then recounted the grounds of hope for the future ; concluding a brilliant speech by assuring them that he should return to the House of Commons stimulated and strengthened by the manner in which he had that night been received, and determined to devote himself incessantly and unswervingly to the advocacy of those great and just principles which first recom mended him to the good opinion and suffrages of the electors of the city of Durham. [The Hon. Member then resumed his seat amidst the most deafening plaudits of the crowded audience.] Mr. BRAMWELL moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Bright s~ the able revie w w hi c h h o h ad taken of the proceed t, ,ri Parliament duri ng th e l ast session, and for his gs) E., past e.ASertu,- -ns and expre ss i ve , a l so, o f full confidence in his future cOnslts:t. The motion vas seconded by M r . J . E. MARSHALL, and carried unanimousii. and with loud acclamations. Mr. BRIGHT returned thanks. The dense assembly separated about half-past nine o'clock.

SALISRURY.—FREE TRADE IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY I—On Monday evening last, the tradesmen employed by the firm of Maton and Co., brewers, of this city, entertained their friends in a spacious room elegantly fitted up at the brewery, in Milford-street, when a jug, containing the modest quantity of fourteen quarts,was filled again and again with superior strong beer. This vessel is one of the relics of curiosity belonging to the late Joiners' Company now extinct in this city, and was used by the company in 1527; but what is most remarkable is the fact that on this jug are the words, still legible, "Free Trade." A similar jug, in the course of the evening, belonging to the Tailors' Company, was also presented to the numerously assembled guests, and also foaming with malt and hop production. The evening was spent in a very agreeable and pleasing manner.— Sherborne Journal. The Duchess of Inverness is passing the holidays with the Earl of Scarborough, at Rufford Hall, ;Notts.

The Earl and Duchess during the reps-. frequently honoured the assemblage with their presence. Doncaster Gazette. MODERN COOKERY. London, Longman, 1845. " The proper and wholesome preparation of our daily food," s a y s th e aut h oress of this work in her preface, " though it may hold in the estimation of the world but a very humble place among the useful arts of life, can scarcely be considered altogether an un important one." Miss Acton here underrates the science of gastronomy, which is so far from holdinF , " a very h um bl e p l ace among t h e useful arts of life, " that it is considered by all right thinking people as one of the most important pursuits to which human invention and ingenuity can be directed. Look, for instance, at the respect—we might almost say, the superstitious veneration—which is paid to it in this, the first metropolis of the civilised world ! Think of the intense—the yearning spirit of devotion exhibited by our august civic dignitaries on the first entrance of the savoury callipash and calippee into Guildhall on that (lay of days, the ninth of November ! The Ministers of the Crown, the judges, the bishops, &c.—all these illustrious per sonages are lost sight of in the absorbing attention paid to the venison and turtle, which may justly be pronounced the "Lions" of the festival. Then the famous whitebait dinners at Blackwall 1 What well disposed Christian but looks forward to these pleasant episodes in daily life with rapture, and remembers them with affection, thus cultivating, in connexion with them, both the " Pleasures of Hope " and of " Memory ?" The late Sir William Curtis was imbued with so profound a veneration for the science of gastronomy, that he never saw a haunch of venison hanging up in a poulterer's shop, but he took off his hat to it as a mark of respect; and the strongest ex pression of feeling we ever saw depicted in the human countenance, was in that of a seedy epic poet who was standing with his nose flattened against the win dow-pane of a cook's shop, sniffing the fragrant perfumes that came steaming up from the kitchen. In every age of the world almost every writer of emi nence has borne testimony to his love of good eating and drinking. Homer is full of allusions to these pleasant matters ; and in his very first book of the Iliad he describes his gods and goddesses pitching into the nectar administered to them by Hebe, with such un common vigour, as leaves an impression on the reader's mind that they will all be dead drunk within the hour. Descending to more modern times, who forgets the constant references of Horace to his suppers with Maecenas, and his sketch of the party at Nasidienus's, where, if it had not been for the unlucky fall of the curtain, the guests would have enjoyed their fill of good things as completely as if they had been dining with Lord Walbrook Gibbs at Guildhall ? In the inimitable pages of Cervantes our delightful friend Sancho "tucks like a Trojan"—to use a well-known simile—and it is a remarkable fact that in the social Scotch novels the heroes and heroines never once lose their appetite, no matter how delicate may b e the distresses i n which they are involved. Again, in the " Noctes Ambrosia= "—would they could be continued !—the redoubted Christopher North takes every opportunity of impressing his readers with a lively sense of his gastronomic capabilities ; and even Milton, notwithstanding the surpassing loftiness of his theme, contrives to get up a very pretty little im promptu supper for Adam and Eve in Paradise, which they discuss with a relish worthy of an alderman. It was Doctor Johnson's opinion that the hour of dinner is the most important in the whole twenty-four; and regularly as that welcome hour approached, his face --especially if he happened to be dining with Mr. Thrale—would be lit up with a radiant expression resembling inspiration. Had the Doctor been now living, we can - not doubt but he would have been de lighted with the volume before us, which treats of the best methods of preparing his favourite meal, with an earnestness—a skill—and an animation worthy of all possible laud. Like the late illustrious Kitchener--that erudite professor of gastronomy— Miss Acton gives no receipts but such as she has her self strictly tested. Eschewing the theoretical, she confines herself to the practical portion of the science ; and some of the sauces for which she offers receipts are so piquant and relishing in their cha racter, that a man might almost digest his own grandmother with them. But it is on soups that she is greatest. On this important subject her genius absolutely runs riot in its prodigality of invention ; and her details respecting the best method of pre paring the " Lord Mayor's Soup"—what a soup that must be !—might beget an appetite " under the ribs of death." We have perused her volume in a spirit of the profoundest reverence, and cordially recom mend it to the attention of all gastronomists, who constitute by far the most intelligent portion of the creation. NAPOLEON: AN EPIC POEM. Longman, London, 1845. The red morocco binding of this epic poem is all :hat binding should be; the paper and print, too, eave nothing to be wished for on the score of neatness and elegance ; but when we come to speak of the blank verse in which the poem is written, all that we can say is, that it is very blank indeed ! As far, how ever, as mere scansion is concerned, we have nothing to object to in the lines, for they are correct to a nicety ; but, alas, there is no poetry in them—no graceful or sparkling imagery—no impassioned feel ing —all is as dull, cold and barren as the road, ac cording to Sterne's Sm e llf ungus , " f rom D an to Beer sheba.' The subject of the epic is the achievements of Napoleon, whom the author has taken for his hero for the singular purpose of abusing him in every page; and " whose conquests," he tells us, " Whose conquests, glories, crimes, and sudden fall No feeble muse may sing. Thy mighty deeds, Proud Corsican, demand Homeric lyre !" Of course the author is satisfied that his is " no feeble Muse," or he would scarcely have undertaken to sing of deeds which demand " Homeric lyre ;" but we must beg to join issue with him on this point, for his muse is as " feeble " as if she had only just reco vered from a six months' attack of influenza, and is far better qualified to sound the praises of General Tom Thumb, than of the Emperor Napoleon. In the march of his verse the author is an evident imitator of Milton, and, like him, is fond of introducing proper names on all occasions ; but the swelling, stately, organ-like roll of the melody in "Paradise Lost "is wholly wanting in "Napoleon," which moves heavily on for pages together at the dull, leaden pace of a broad-wheeled waggon, and without making the slightest approach to music of versification. We know not when we have met with so presumptuous a production as the one before us, which, constantly at tempting to be brilliant, is constantly dull by mis take. The only tolerable passage in it is the de scription of the battle of the Pyramids, and even here there is more smoke than fire. DIARIES AND CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EARL OF MALMESBUI?Y, Vols. 111. and IV. Bentley, London, 1845. These volumes conclude the Diaries and Corres pondence of the Earl of Malmesbury—who, in the opinion of Talleyrand, was one of the most sagacious statesmen of his age—and commence with the year 1793, and close with the year 1813. If they do not throw much important additional light on the history of this stirring period, they are, at any rate, exceed ingly entertaining, for they are crowded with inci dents ; and we find in them numerous characteristic sketches of some of the most eminent public men with whom Lord Malmesbury was brought into con tact in the course of his long and active official career. Pitt, Canning, and that bigotted old woman, Adding ton, are frequently brought on the tapir, and of Can ning the noble author says :—" He has been forced like a thriving plant in a well -managed hot-house; he has prospered too luxuriantly —has felt no check nor frost. Too eat ly in life he has had many, and too easy, advantages. This, added to very acute parts, makes him impatient of control." The whole of Canning's political career justifies this sagacious description of him which was penned in the year 1803, when he was yet but a statesman of promise, not of perform ance. Of the late Emperor Alexander the noble author appears to have entertained no very high opinion, and alluding to the battle of Friedland, in which the Russians were worsted by Bonaparte, says, " though not decisive as a battle, it was a complete victory over the mind of the Emperor Alexander; from that day all his boasted courage ended; and fear, panic, and every dastardly feeling terror and dismay could suggest, seem to have taken at once possession of him." These Diaries and Correspondence will furnish excellent materials for the use of some future historian of the bustling period to which they refer, for, generally speaking, they are f ree f rom strong political preju dices, and the author was a cool, wary, astute ob server who was not likely to be led very far astray from the truth in his estimate of men and or we would things. We have n o s p ace f or extracts, quote some amusin g p assages f ro m his Diary during the ricketty administrati o n of Mr. Addington. HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. c L o ond p o l n ete , Ca a d n e/ d l, 1 circumstantial 845. This is the most complete m account we have yet seen of the Protestant Uni versity of Dublin, describing its origin under Queen Elizabeth, its progress, and its present condition, and containing, in addition, biographical notices of some of the most eminent men who have received their education at this celebrated seat of learning. The work is the production of a gentleman named Taylor, who has evidently bestowed considerable pains on it, and has embellished it with several appropriate illus trations. REPEAL IN TUE QUEEN'S BENCH.—Some laughter was occasioned in the Queen's Bench, Dublin, on Satur day, and not a few jokes cracked in the Hall of the Four Courts on the " advance of repeal," in consequence of Dr. Gray, who at that time twelve months was placed at the bar as a conspirator, for being a repealer, having been that day called and sworn on the grand jury, wear ing, it is said, the same repeal button in the jury, box which he had previously worn at the traversers' bar.— .Freentan, THE LATE BANK ROBBERY.—We find that the Procureur du Roi of this city received a letter some days since from Mr. Hobler, the solicitor of Messrs. Rogers and Co., to request him to give, officially, a notice to the bankers, m one y- c h angers , an d principal hotels here, where foreigners are in the habit of coming, of the list of the stolen Bank of England notes, and to eatition the bankers and others that they should examine all Bank of England notes offered to them by foreigners ; and that if they took any of the stolen notes after that notice, loss would fall upon themselves, as the payment, of all the notes was stopped. We believe Mr. Hobler hag taken the same steps with every British Embassy and Consulate in Europe, and the o ffi cial notices when completed will be forwarded to England ; so that let a note come in from Paris, Brussels, or any other city or town in Europe, there will be official proof of notice against the banker through whose hands it may have passed, and thus rendering it hopeless in him to expect payment of the note. We have learned also that the Bank of England have issu©d a new 1,000/. note, dated the 13th of November, 1844, instead of the 13th of May, 1844, which is the date of those stolen from Messrs. Rogers and Co., and that application has been made to the bankers in London and throughout the United King dom, to send in to the Bank of England all the 1,0004 notes of the 13th of May, 1844, which we believe has been complied with, so that there would now be none returned into the Baak to be exchanged but those that were stolen. This extraordinary operation will, we hope, be responded to by our bankers and money changers, to lend their aid in preventing the robbers, whoever they may be, receising any advantages now or at any future day from their ill-gotten moneys.—Brussels British Gazette. THE FOUNTAINS IN TRAFALGAR -SQUARE.—From the rapid progress in every department of the works, these long-expected ornaments will soon be put in ope ration. The boring for water is completed, and a very plentiful supply has been obtained, For several days past the engines have been employed in raising water, which has been found quite equal to the demand which will be required, and a jet of water has r,eadily been forced to a height of 30 feet in the basins. The well in Trafalgar-square has been sunk to a depth of about 160 feet, and that in Orange-street, Leicester-square, which is on a higher elevation, about 30 feet deeper. The iorge cistern at the top of the engine-house will hold 38,0:00 gallons of water, and that at the top of the tower, whieih is about 20 feet higher, about one-third of that quantity. In addition to furnishing the fountains, these are in-- tended to supply the whole of the Government buildiags and offices in the district, for daily use or emergency, in cases of fire, for which pipes are now being laid down. The ornamental iron work for the jets is in a state of great forwardness. The water, which rises in the borings to about 60 feet of the surface, is pumped up by two Cornish engines of 20 horse power. SAMARITAN FUND OF THE ST. GEORGE'S AND ST. JAMES'S DISPENSARY.—At the close of the year 1843 the six medical officers of this charity, who attend 5,0(10 patients annually, and visit a large props rtion at their homes, finding that an immense amount of discsae Ws 1 incurable from want of proper air, food, and Plothing - ,. proposed the formation of a fund, which, in addition to medicines, should supply these requisites. The Auld was founded, and 3001. was collected in annual subscriß tions and donations. By means of this fund the sieve poor have been supplied during the present year, by orders from the medical officers attending them, with 10,408 half-quartern loaves, 3,004 pints of milk, 2,859 pints of soup, 583 flannel shirts, and 465 ventilators. The benefit has been incalculably great, but the expen diture has exceeded the income by 30/. METROPOLITAN IMPROYEMENTS.—Yesterday the twenty-first report of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests was printed, from which it appears that in re spect to the metropolitan improvements the Commis sioners hove completed purchases to the amount in the whole of 457,884/. 15s. 10d., and have contracted for further purchases to the amount in the whole of 191,617/. 15s. 10d. ; and, besides these, the purchases now remaining to be made, in order to clear the whole of the ground required for completing the several linee of improvements, it is estimated will cost the further sun of 54,2561. 55., or thereabouts. In the line from Oxford street to Holborn the Commissioners have completed purchases to the amount of 211,6841. 14s. 10d., and have contracted for further purchases to the emoting of 56,969/. 38. 4d. ; and besides these, there remain to be made p urc h ases estimated to cost the sum of 14,5711 155., or thereabouts. In the line from Bow-street to Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury,. they have completed purchases to the amount of 70,958 L 18s. 3d., and have contracted for further pur chases to the amount of 3,0094 1 ls. 9d., and besides these purchases remain to be made to about 17,5952 In the line from the London Docks to Spitalfields Church they have completed purchases to 96,742 L 165. lid., and contracted for further purchases to 30,2364 Bs. 7d., and th ere rema i n to b e made other purc h ase s, estimated to c os t 6,74 0 1 I n t h e l i ne from CovectrY' street to Long-acre they have made purchases to 77,0784 ss. 10d. ; contracted for others to 89,202/. 12s. 2d., and besides, purchases will be required to about 8,0971. 10s.; and in the line from East Smithfield to Rosemary-lane the Commissioners have completed purchases to 1,4204; contracted for further purchases to 12,2004 and besides these, others will be needed to 7,2524 The Commis sioners, it appears, borrowed some time ago the sum of 500,000/. from the Equitable Assurance Company, upon the security of certain portions of the land revenue of taking measures t in h the Crown, and money was also procured from Ex. e e a p s u u r r e p s o 8 e for o f o e b o ta to i p n i i e n tw q ; chequer-bills and the sale of materials.

We learn from authentic sourcesof • f Cold f C u o r m th m er is that it is not in the c any reduction • 1 in orma i contemplation of Ministers to make in taxation, with the exception of tea. It is added that circums tances of a very saspi cious nature have occurredatCherbourg, and that a proposition will be Ina! to Parliam en t t o appropriate th e surplus revenue in coast defences and fortifications, so as to guard against surprise under any p oss ibl e even t ; and to ensure the protection of the yards, menals, and merchant navy.—Dublin Evening Mari TILE BREAKWATER LIGHTHOUSE, PLYMOUTII.-011 Thursday morning, the 16th instant, at half-past eleven o'clock, Mr. Jones, the head-keeper of the Breakwater Lighthouse, was unfortunately washed off that struc ture by an immense wave which came in from the south ward. He was proceeding from the east end towards the west to receive some clothing from a boatman named Forward, who had been sent out by the lightkeeper's wife. Forward recovered Mr. Jones's cap, but states that Mr. Jones sank immediately. Graham, the man on duty at the lighthouse, instantly hoisted a signal of dis tress, and the foreman of the works, Mr. Findlater, promptly left the Chatham hulk with a number of his men, who used every exertion in their power, but with out effect. Up to two o'clock the body had not been found. There was no wind at the time, but it was high water, and there was a heavy ground swell on ' owing to the recent gales. M r . J ones was a nat i ve of Harwich, and has left a widow and family. BUST OP ADAM iSMITH.—The Lord Provost and magistrates have confided to Mr. Patrick Park the task of executing a marble bust of the philosopher, from the medallion by Tassy, which is held to be the only like ness extant. The bust, when completed, will be placed in the Council-hall, City-buildings.—Glaegoto Argus. LITERATURE. It, itt4 ~_ •, ~~ AWFUL OCCURRENCE. - Yesterday, Thomas Couch, a middle-aged man oranest repulsive appearance, and who was described 10 the police-sheet as a wheelwright, was charged at Lau , eth Police-court with being drunk on that morning, iand obstructing a police-con s t a bl e i n th e exec ution of his duty. Thomas Messer, police-constable L 39, deposed that about half-past two o'clock on that morning he heard a disturbance in Fore-street, Lambeth, and on going to the house No. 28, in that street, be found the prisoner at the door, endeavouring to force his way in, while the occupier was endeavouring to keep him out, and, at the same time persuading his wife, wbo was fit a state of intoxication, to go up stair s to bed. The w:fe declared that she should not, anal that if the husband did not think proper to admit the prisoner into the house, she should leave it, for that wherover he was there she 'hould be also. The husband, upon .seeing him (witness) complained bitterly of the conduct of his wife, and said that though the mother of six children, k:he had formed an improper intimacy with the prisoner— that she had been away from her home all the evening and night with him, until that hour, and that he knew not on earth what to do with her. Witness, upon hear ing this, told the prisoner that unless he went quietly about his business, so as to put an end to the disturbance, he should take him to the station-house. The prisoner still persisted in forcing his way into the house, and pushed witness about once or twice. He then said ha certainly would take him to the station-house, when: ha woman inside said she should be taken there too, and repeated, that witerever the prisoner was there she would be. Her hm7band, the instant she had uttered these expressions, was in the act of falling, when witness caught him in his arms, and on procuring a light found that he was quite dead. Mr. Norton—Do you know of your own know ledge whether the parties had any struggle in the pas sage, or whether the deceased received a:ly injuries ? Witness—l don't think he did, Sir. There was no mark of violence on him, and the doctor who examtled hi n is of opinion that he died from some internal cas'se. He told me himself, a moment or two before his death, that his heart was quite broken with the conduct of hi% wife ; and when some person said " the man is dead," hits wife exclaimed, " Thank God for it." Mr. Norton—Did the unfortunate man seem made excited immediately preceding his death ? Witness— Not very much so, Sir. He seemed to me to be very de jected and low in spirits; in fact, quite cut up. Mr. Norton—Have you ascertained what the deceased was, and what his name is ? Witness—Yes, Sir, his name is Charles Ingas ; he was a harness-maker by trade, and ai,out 60 years of age. James Mills. a boat-builder. said he had seen - the pri soner and Mrs. Ingas drinking together at several public-houses on the nilccitt before. He first saw them about half-past six in tiff, evening, and heard the pri soner say he had come to take her away from her hus band. He also saw them go into the house of the de ceased about two o'clock in the worning, and immedi ately after h ear d th em b o th s i ng i ng in the lower part of the house. This caused Mr. Ingas to cOme down stairs, and he (witness) heard the deceased frequently tell the prisoner to leave his house, else he shOu24 give him into custody. The other part of the witnees - S testimony was confirmatory of the constable's. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that lie hod known Mrs. Ingas for about twelve months and !I:Lel, he should not h ave acte d as he had done had he not, i'eun very much intoxicated. Sir. Norton observed that the case was one of a shock ing and lamentable character, and ordered the prisoner to. find bail for his good conduct for three months, and also to pay ss. for being drunk. The prisoner not being prepared with the reqnfred sureties was sent to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. ''.%! 14" \C ) \ ~ . R> ' sj
