To view it only as a vehicle for the terrine isplay at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with Its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa- MOUS Lake, to be fully appreciated.

Its fearful iracteristies are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Art, coat delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that South y, ;he Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless riureph.

The proceedings of Parliament for the session were brought to a close yesterday, and the result on the whole is satisfactory. The House of Lords—we mean the House of law Lords—have vindicated the character of that aristocraticassembly by a rare in stance of justice. Th e Irish Court of Queen's Bench, the fighting Attorney-General, the wav ering Re corder, and the Orange jury, hare had justicein a t been admi nistered to them. T h ey have weighed just b a l a nce, and found wanting. Ireland ha s reason o thank Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord W r nluN cLIF b r y E for the wise p olic y which they p ursued interdicting a general vote of the House on th e Irish trials. Had the rabid Tories been allowed to vote, Mr. O'CONNELL and his colleagues must have served out their period of imprisonment, paid their fines, and entered into heavy securities for many years to commit no " breach of the peace"—a phrase that would have been left to the interpretation of judges, juries, and other Irish public functionaries, who, as this trial has evinced, are the very last men in the world to whom a man's liberty or property ought to be entrusted. That affair, thanks to three English upright noblemen, has been amicably arranged, and nearly the whole of Ireland is celebrating their praises. Fires, we may say, are now blazing on every hill, to announce that the best friend of his country bad been unjustly condemned by his fellow citizens, -nd justice done to him by three men be longing to a party which he recklessly maligned. In ' this affair, he has no reason to blame the Whigs. him 'They hare supp or t e d fr o m the beginning to the end. Mr. Duiscosaues speech and Lord Jour; Roe • SELL'S speech yesterday, are sufficient proofs of the ' interest which independent Englishmen take in the affairs of the sister country ; and, though Tories, Conservatives, and renegade Whigs unite to oppress them, Irishmen may rest satisfied that, without the repeal of the union, justice will, in the end, prevail. Another important question ad verted to was the dispute between England and France about " one PRITCHARD." The public know the strong words used by Sir ROBERT PEEL relative to the arrest and expulsion of this English missionary, and they now learn, from his own mouth, that the dispute has been brought to an " amicable and satisfactory termination." We shall suspend our judgment till the Parliamentary documents are pub lished, while at the same time we entertain the belief that the Prime Minister of England would not have risked his own character, and the character of his country, by accepting a smaller reparation than was consistent with his strong sense of the wrong which had been inflicted by French officers on his countryman. Another feature of the proceedings yesterday was the retire ment of Lord STANLEY from the House of Com mons. We will not impute this to any misunder standing between him and Sir R. PEEL, though they seem two of the least cordial men in the Cabinet. We believe it is a necessary arrangement. The gallant old Duke, we regret to say, is sinking into the vale of years ; for his age the duty at the Horse Guards is sufficient. Lord WHARNCLIFFE is a discreet and honest statesman, but neither he nor any one of the party is fitted to be a leader in the Lords, and to Lord STANLEY, therefore, must be entrusted the task. We only hope that he and Sir R. PEEL will chime together, and that when measures of relief for Ire land are carried on in the Commons, they will not be rejected in the Lords by the unitvl voices of LYND HURST, STANLEY, BROUGHAM, and the Orange party. We find little else to notice, if we except a notice of motion made by Mr. T. DUNCOI'dBE. Ile is deter mined to stick to the thieves who steal intelligence from the Post-office, and announced that next session he would submit a specific measure on the subject. If the country support Mr. DUNCOMBE, this abomina ble intrusion upon the affairs of private individuals will soon be utterly abolished. ':vnterests at the expense of the common weal, and while with a bray of mendacious impudence that might well form a model for every bold vagabond that seeks, by false pretences to swindle the public, they assert that the public good is the main object they have in view. They cannot imagine that other par ties can be anxious to do good to their fellow-men with out being actuated by the samo base and disgrace ful motives." The grammar of this precious philippic is somewhat in eclipse, like the consistency of the Conservatives ; but let that pass, our business at pre sent is rather with its sentiment than its syntax. No one can doubt that the writer is of the monopolist per suasion, and as little, that his abuse—however dis guised under a lofty show of contempt—originates in apprehension of the threat of the League to look sharply after the register, and in jealousy of the " untoward" consequences that will accrue to his party from such laudable vigilance on the part of the free traders. The language of the philippic is contemptuous and swaggering enough, but the spirit is mean and cowardly to a degree. The " hand is the hand of ESAU, but the voice is the voice of Ja cop." Did the writer really entertain the scorn which he professes for the League—did he really believe that it consisted merely of " notoriously selfish impostors" and " bold vagabonds," most assuredly he would never have taken the trouble to pelt them with such desperate Billingsgate as he has done in the above passage; but would have contented himself with maintaining a haughty silence, and laughing at the exertions of those from whom he felt that monopoly had nothing to fear. But, despite his affected contempt for the Anti-Corn-law League, he knows and feels in his inmost heart that it is an engine of infinite moral power—that it is a confederacy whose influence is daily on the increase—that every move it makes gives a rude shake to the crazy fabric of monopoly—that, even when apparently inactive, it is in reality as alert as a vigilant sentinel on his post—and that its recently announced determination to take a leaf out of the Tory book, and look sharply after the register, is an omen of the most disastrous import to the protection ists. The writer of the vulgar and intemperate letter on which we have been commenting, knows and feels all this, hence his exquisite alarm, which he would fain, but cannot, disguise, under a show of lofty indig nation and contempt. To do him justice, his appre hensions are by no means ill-founded, and long ere the present year shall have reached its close, he will find that the interference of the League with the register will have been productive of the most dis astrous results to the cause which he espouses. Sir ROBERT PEEL, that consistent advocate of expediency, will be foremost to acknowledge the moral influence of this great confederacy's exertions during the re cess, and will shape his course accordingly, no longer declaring himself—as at the commencement of the last session—in terms of open hostility to the League, but discreetly moderating his opposition, and perhaps even making a decided move in the direction of free• trade. Lord DENMAN, in the course of the elaborate opinion which he delivered on Tuesday in the House of Peers on the subject of the Irish State Trials—an opinion which, as Mr. DUNCOMUE justly observed yesterday in the House of Commons, ought to be laid on the table and printed in letters of gold—his Lord ship, we say, in the course of this luminous and straightforward opinion, made the following sensible observations in reference to the studied ambiguity of certain legal processes :—" In his opinion there could not be a greater grievance and oppres sion than these endless, unintelligible, un wieldy, voluminous indictments. An indict ment extending over fifty-seven pages was in itself a grievance ; many prisoners could Rot af ford to pay the clerk of the peace for a copy ; and when they got it, the most learned persons could scarcely find out what the prisoners were charged with. The words were so ambiguous that it might be that the pleader who drew it up might mean one thing, the jury another, the Judge a third, and the Court of Error a fourth, if they did not overthrow the whole judgment." The verboseness, the circum locution, the obscurity, and the perplexing technical jargon in v‘hich the law too often wraps up its meaning, like a silkworm thickly enveloped within the folds of its own web, has long been a subject of regret with the public, and productive of a world of embarrassment to judges, jurymen, counsel, and in deed to all connected with the administration of jus tice, with the sole exception, perhaps, of pleaders and solicitors, who have an interest in indulging in a surplusage of counts and phrases, and making every indictment as full and circumstantial as possible, no matter how absurd and tautologous one-half the circumstances set forth in such indictments may be. Now surely of all professions in the world the Law is that which should be most remarkable for the clearness, the straightforwardness, the simplicity, and the direct, obvious, common-sense of its proceedings ! Its phraseology should be carefully pruned of all verbal excrescences ; its technicalities—at present so happily adapted to mislead and bewilder rather than to convince—should be reduced within the narrowest possible limits compatible with propriety; and its meaning be rendered so transparent as to be intelli gible to the obtusest capacity. Is this the case with the Law, as it is now practised in some of its most material departments ? Far otherwise. In an infinite number of instances that we could enumerate, were it worth while, its language is the very reverse of simple and concise ; it is, in fact, stu diously ambiguous, and elaborately tautological ; the meaning that might be efficiently expressed in a single sentence, is spread over a dozen, and necessarily en feebled by the diffusion ; where one or two counts would suffice to answer every rational purpose, six or eight, and frequently as many more," . are had recourse to ; in short, epithet is piled upon epithet, and repeti tion upon repetition, till the mind fairly reels and staggers beneath the cumbrous load of verbiage remorselessly pressed upon its attention, as if—one would almost be tempted to suppose—for the perverse purpose of confounding and paralysing its powers of judgment The Law's delay has long been a fruitful subject of complaint among the people ; but the Law's enigmatical tautology is quite as legitimate a griev ance. We see its results in the Irish State Trials, where all parties concerned seem to have been involved in a labyrinth of perplexities, simply in consequence of the lax, ambiguous, and unsatisfactory manner in which the: pleadings were drawn up. Of late years—thanks to Sir ROBERT PEEL—many excellent, substantial reforms have been effected in the Law, which has been rendered infinitely more simple and intelligible than it was in the glorious days of the pedantic, adust, black-letter old lawyers ; but much yet remains to be done, ere it can be said to be per fectly and harmoniously in accordance with common sense. And here, while glancing at the question of Law Reform, we cannot refrain from just briefly alluding to the exceedingly confused, verbose, and perplexing manner in which—in far too many cases —our Acts of Parliament are drawn up. We have seen some that were more puzzling . than the riddle of the Sphynx ; and 10, when in the extremity of our bewilderment, we have turned for enlightenment to the explanatory notes in the margin, we have found that, so far from diminishing, they only tended to increase our per plexity, and we have at length been compelled to cry out with Puff in the Critic, " Egad, the interpreter is the hardest to be under stood of the two !" Now, if it be worth while to draw up a Parliamentary Act, surely it is worth while to draw it up in such a manner as shall render it generally intelligible ; and not in the wordy, con fused style adopted throughout the Inclosure of Commons Act, whose meaning was so studiously concealed beneath a cloud of vague phraseology, that it was worthy only of being transmitted to the Bri tish Museum, as a legislative curiosity of the first water ! We learn from Madrid papers of the 29th ult. that the Opposition party began to show some symptoms of life. The forthcoming elections have excited gene ral interest, and both Carlists and Progresistas were in the field. The former, it was believed, would be successful in Old Castile, and at Palencia Senors OLOZAGA, MADoz, LOPEZ, and SEOANE had come for ward as candidates. The Government, it is said, are busily engaged in framing measures for the delibera tion of the Cortes, which, we believe, will assemble next month. The following notice appears in the Gibraltar Chronicle of the 29th of August : " The Governor has received an official communica tion, in which it is stated that all the Moorish subjects who had fled from Tangiers have been permitted to re turn, and that the gates will always be open to them. It is added, in the same dispatch, that the British sub jects, who, in returning to Tangiers, may have no other object than that of gratifying their curiosity, are im plored neither to enter nor remain in the town, so long as the Morocco question shall continue in its present state. This does not, of course, apply to the servants of her Majesty, nor to those whom commercial affairs may oblige to reside in the town." The Three per Cents. were done at 27i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20, and the Coupons at 25i at 60 days ; and the Floating Debt at 60k at 50 days. Certain of the Paris journals, which must have pe culiar sources of information, gravely describe what has taken place at several Cabinet Councils in Lon don in reference to the settlement of the Otaheite question. One of them states that the "Cabinet Coun cil held on Monday last was adjourned to Tuesday, merely because it was deemed advisable, considering the gravity of the affair under deliberation, that the council should be as numerous as possible, and the Duke of BucCLEucil, the Earl of RIPON, and Mr. GLADSTONE, were absent. There existed no differ ence of opinion between Lord AISERDEEN, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Sir R. PEEL. All three were agreed that the satisfaction offered by France was not sufficient. M. D'AUEIGNT ought to be recalled, because he commanded the arrest of Mr. PRITCHARD, and M. Bauxr for having ordered his expulsion. The Eng lish Cabinet declared against France, not only on the question of fact, but on the question of right, How ever criminal the conduct of a British agent, it escapes every interference, and the flag covers the Consul, even should he fire,!or cause others to fire, against us." M. TRIERS' journal gives rather a different report of the deliberations of the English Ministers. "It was reported," says the Constitutionnel, " on Tuesday afternoon that the Government had received by ex traordinary express the substance of what passed at the Cabinet Council on Monday last. After the question pending between France and England was introduced by Lord ABERDEEN, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sir It. PEEL proposed that the reparation offered by the French Cabinet should be rejected as insufficient ; the Duke of WELLINGTON was of the same opinion ; but Lord ADERDEEX observed, that to refuse the reparation offered by M. GUIZOT would be to compel that Minister and his colleagues to resign, and thus expose the good understanding existing be tween the two Governments. The Council adjourned to the following day without coming to a determina tion. It is believed that the Minister for Foreign Affairs will succeed in convincing Sir R. PEEL and th• Duke of WELLINGTON that what the French Go vernment proposes is sufficient humiliation." The Opposition journals will, however, soon know the result of these deliberations, from the speech of one of the Ministers, and then the National, the Con stitutionnel, the Siecle, and journals of a similar spirit will raise an outcry against M. GUIZOT sufficient to shake him out of his place. They will assert France has been sacrificed, the " stranger" has yielded to the menace! of England, and nothing is left for the country but humiliation and disgrace. There is no fresh intelligence in these papers from the Prince DE JOINYILLE, but we find in the Co/I.oi tutionne/ an extract of a letter from an aide-de-camp of the Prince to the French Consul at Cadiz, dated on board the Pluton, August 17, which is in these words : " The Admiral'has received orders to keep possession of the island of Mogadore, in which we have placed a garriSon. The possession of the island is equivalent to that of the city, and fulfils all our desires, insuring us a guarantee for the complete satisfaction of all our wrongs. The city will remain in a state of blockade, and conse quentl' the Emperor will be deprived of the large revenue he derived from its customs, which is wounding him in his most sensitive part. The campaign is thus brought to a close." The mere rumour—to which we alluded in The Sun of yesterday—that the Anti-Corn-law League have determined, during the Parliamentary recess, to bestow the most vigilant attention on the register, with a view to give fair play to the constituencies, by securing the privilege of voting to those who are qua lified to vote, and ensuring the rejection of those who are disqualified ;—the mere rumour, we say, of such an intention on the part of this great popular confederacy has had the effect of throwing the mono polists into fits of alarm and indignation, which they take the opportunity of venting from time to time through the convenient medium of the Tory portion of the Pres.. On 'Wednesday, for instance, a letter vacehtieomnse, &c., vehemently vituperative of the League, its motives, of the appeared in the sympathising columns with equal colu Herald, and yesterday another letter, filled it ,mifns of the p not worse, abuse, bus l e n , figures conspicuously in the this communica tion the writer—whose e pi s tolary excellencies by no means remind us of those of JuNius or HORACE WALPOLE — thus showers down the vials of his wrath on the head of the injured and unoffending League : The Anti- Corn-law Leaguers have no notion of any party being anxious to do good without the im petus of interested and selfish motives. Disinterested philanthropy is a feeling the nature of which they are altogether unable to comprehend. Being them selves a gang of the most notoriously selfish imposters that the world has ever produced, confederated toge ther for the purpose of promoting their own selfish I Other journals, however, take a different view of the results, and infer that before the EMPEROR. yields to the conditions of France, more battles and more bombardments must take place. The National which hates peace in every shape and in any quarter, thus attacks: the Ministry for leaving the work half done to please England : "After the victory you retreat as you would have done after a;defeat. In place of leading your army against the enemy, you withdrew it. In place of occupying his fron tier, you return to your own. What do you expect that he should fear, unless he should become afraid of a shadow ? By declaring that under no circum stances would France make a war of conquest against Morocco, that she regarded as absurd and insane, not only all extension of the Algerine terri tory, but all durable occupation of any portion of the Moorish coast—that after the war, as well In; previ ously, the French Government would never require from Morocco, any cession of town or territory—that the same motives which dictated this declaration still existed, and that her word of honour was publicly pledged to that effect in the face of Europe,—iu making that; decla ration, the Government had acted directly against its object. There are but two modes of conquezing an enemy—to do him injury, or to cause him to fear you. It was precisely because you were determined not to in jure the Emperor of Morocco that you ought to have frightened him. This extension of our territory, this permanent occupation of the towns, should have been suspended over his head as the inevApble consequence of encouraging our enemies on his frontier. It was neces- ' sary to make him comprehend that the consequence of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1844. hostilities might be not the easily repaired loss of some millions, but the inevitable loss of his empire. But no ! whilst our soldiers and seamen were courageously fulfill ing their duty on the double frontier of Morocco, your eyes were fixed in another direction. A single idea absorbed you, which was to secure England against a contingency which did not regard her, to give to her implacable jealousy a pledge of a word of honour which she had neither the right to inquire nor to solicit. And it is thus that, in order to avoid some immediate difficulties, you have spontaneously ' excited others more considerable. The war is not con cluded, and the Emperor, who is aware that in any case you will not attack him before next spring, will probably not hasten to grant you what you demand. In this position, what will you do ? Will you evacuate the island of Mogadore, according to the word of honour you have given ? And then the bombardment will have been a mere useless cruelty, which will give the Moors a right to curse and mock you, or you will have violated your sacred engagement --- you will have violated your word of honour—you will indefinitely have prolonged an occupa tion which ought to be but temporary ; and in that case you will have admitted that England had a right to oecupy herself with a war so important for her, and you will find in your road that systematic malevolence, those exigencies, and those threats, before which you at pre sent fly." Several of the journals express great indignation at what they regard the ungrateful return made by Belgium for all the blessings conferred on her by France. In reference to the late commercial treaty which the former country has entered into with Germany - , the Quotidienne says : " The commercial tie which is about to bind Belgium to Germany will, if it takes place, become a political bond, and the powers who condemned Belgium to neu trality will willingly revoke their sentence as soon as they think that they can make Belgium what they did in 1815—the advanced guard of Germany against France. Certainly it was not with this view that the Revolution of July bestowed upon her daughter, Belgium, men and money with so much prodigality ; it was not to this end that the Chamber of Deputies endowed the Princess, who was to be a bond of peace between the two people; but Belgium looks rather to the future than to the past, and seeks for guarantees in Germany, because the alli ance with and protection of the Government inflicted upon us inspires her with no more confidence than it acquires from the other States. This is daily revealed by facts the weakness of the policy which presides over our destinies ; every day our isolation is drawn closer and closer, and the circle becomes more and more nar row. Can we then be astonished that our rulers should be attached to England ; for if England should abandon them what would remain to them?" The National is equally indignant : " We cannot blame Belgium for having thus attached herself to Germany. The little kingdom of Leopold cannot exist without the support of others. Severed from Holland, she had to choose between Germany and France ; and since France, from fear of offending foreign Powers, and giving dissatisfaction to the magnates of her own commerce and industry, seemed to be afraid of form ing a closer connexion with her, she was forced to throw herself into the arms of Germany. We have long fore seen this result ; but it is nevertheless to be deplored. It has been, indeed, a great fault thus to have allowed the port of Antwerp to become de facto the port of the Con federation, of which Prussia is the chief. If we could have granted to Belgium the same advantages as the Zoll verein has afforded her, she would, no doubt, have pre ferred holding fast to our alliance ; but we are governed by a party which occupies itself very little with the poli tical interests of France, provided her cloths, her coals, and her iron be not exposed to any serious competition. It is the same party which appropriates all the railroads, and monopolises the power of domination in all things. Let Antwerp become a Prussian port—it will cause no concern to this party. It would as willingly give up Dun kirk and Bordeaux to the English, if, by doing so, it might hope to see the coal mine and railroad shares quoted on 'Change at higher prices." The French Funds fell considerably on Wednesday, the Three per Cents. 70 centimes, and the Fives GO centimes. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The show of English Wheat was tolerably good, both as to supply and quality. As but few buyers were in attendance, the demand for that article was excessively heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. Foreign Wheat, the supply of which was good, met a dull sale, and prices had a downward tendency. For all kinds of Barley the inquiry was inactive, and the rates were barely sup ported. The supply of Malt was good, while the de mand was in a very depressed state, at late currencies. Oats, Beans, and Peas, were quite as dear. Wheat. ..... I 4,590 qrs. 1ri5h......" ..... - ARRIVALS.

For sheep, the numbers of which were small, the demand was steady, at fully pre vious rates. Although the supply of lambs was small, the lamb trade was dull, at our quotations.

Such bills and notes not hay ing more than ninety-fire days to run." This alteration has not given satisfaction in the City. It will hurt, it is thought, most of the minor banking firms and discount brokers. There are accounts from the Mauritius this morning. There had been a considerable number of deaths from typhus fever.

(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, SEPT. 3.—The average price of Wheat last week was 18f. 46c.; and that of Rye 10f. 45c. The import and export duties remain as before. We continue to receive the most afflicting aceounts of the damage done by the overflowing of the Demer, and the rupture of the dike of the Laek. An-account from Cologne, of the 31st August, informs us that in July, 1844, there were 47,576 passengers con veyed by the Rhenish railway (16,970 more than in July, 1843). The quantity of goods in the same month was 422,579 cwt. (304,236 cwt. more than in July, 1843). The receipts amounted to 65,697 dollars (28,149 dollars more than in 1843). The total receipts in the first seven months of 1844, was 279,819 dollars, which is an excess of 128,508 dollars above the receipt in the first seven months of last year. The conclusion of the treaty with the Zollverein has caused general surprise and satisfaction, being wholly un expected. At Antwerp the sensation caused by the news which the Minister of the Interior sent as soon as possible to the Governor of the city was very great, and completely changed the idea of the merchants who dis approved the conduct of the Government with respect to Prussia, but now acknowledge that if their system had been followed in preference to that of the Government, they would not have obtained the advantages which this city promises. STOCKHOLM, AUG. 29.—The question of the repre sentation is decided in the Diet. In the Chamber of the Nobles the debate in this most important question lasted from nine in the morning till seven in the evening. Baron Nordenfalk first delivered a speech, in which he stated the reasons for which the King's advisers re mained neuter in this matter. The result was the rejec tion of the proposed system of representation by a ma jority of 458 to 82. In the Chamber of the Clergy the debate was con tinued do-day, the result as we hear was that the pro posal was rejected almost unanimously. In the Chamber of the Citizens it was agreed to by 47 to 9, and in that of the Peasants by 89 to 14. The proposal is, consequently rejected, because it cannot be come a law of the kingdom without the concurrence of each of the four Chambers. HAMBURGH BORSENHALLE, Sin* 3. Bills. Money.

A middle-aged Irishwoman, named Finnigan, was charged with aiding and abettin g some boys in illegally lighting a " bonfire" in the middle of Horace-street, to enemies. not iu t m hink she was doing any harm commemorate Ph of O'Connell over his Tory on such an occasion as the liberation of O'Connell, but said d r a s t h e the did t r the Magistrate ordered her to find bail. A simple -looking ceuntry girl, who refused to give her name or her residence, except that she was a native of Wiltshire, was charged with having attempted to commit suicide in the Regent's Canal. Policeman 271 S, said between one and two o'clock this morning, he saw the female standing on the towing path of the canal close to the water's-edge. He hastened to the spot, and was fortunate enough to catch hold of her before she could carry her awful intention into effect. She said she had neither a home nor friends, and was tired of life. Mr. RAWLINSON asked her if she had any reason for attempting to commit suicide. The girl said she could give no reason nor would she divulge her name in state to whom the magistrate could apply respecting her. Mr. RAwLINSON sent her to St. Pancras workhouse until inquiries are made respecting her. UNION -II ALL.--(THIS D AY .) Thomas Pledge was charged with wilfully breaking thirty cucumber glasses in a market-garden, at Ber mondsey. Charles Shepherd stated that he is the owner of a market-garden at Bermondsey, in which he rears cucum bers. On the preceding afternoon, while watching on his grounds, he saw the prisoner flinging stones into the garden, and he did not desist until he had smashed thirty or forty of the cucumber-glasses. After a smart pursuit he was taken into custody. The prisoner was fined fifty shillings, the value of the glass he had broken, besides ten shillings costs, and in default of payment he was committed for one month. James Cannon, foreman to a wharfinger, was charged with assaulting and breaking the organ of Antonio Ma zeppa, a Piedinontese. It appeared that Antonio was " grinding" his organ in the street, when the defendant came up and desired him to go to his own country, and not to be annoying the passengers. Antonio, however, paid no regard to what was said, but still continued playing on the organ, when the defendant wilfully ran up against him, struck him in the eye, and broke his instrument. Mr. MAIM condemned the conduct of the defendant towards a poor foreigner, and inflicted a fine of 10s. on him for the assault, besides making him pay for the damage, amounting to 235., and in default he was locked up. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Richard Pell, a smart-looking young man, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his master. Mr. William S. Gibson, the prosecutor, a baker, re siding in Blo oms b ury , d epose d that on Tuesday last , he learned that one of his customers had paid the prisoner 1/. 6s. Bd., and on the same day facts came to his know ledge which induced him to believe that the prisoner had been for along time engaged in an extensive system of embezzlement. Mr.-COMBE announced his determination to commit the prisoner for trial, but remanded him that the other cases might be perfected against him. Catherine Leary was charged with creating a disturb ance at the Holborn Union workhouse, and assaulting violently Barber, one of its officers. Mundy, the porter, deposed that on the previous night the prisoner went to the workhouse between eleven and twelve o'clock, and was admitted into the destitute ward, with her two children. She had not been more than five minutes in the ward, when she ran screaming to the porter's lodge, and swore she would not stay in the ward. An immense crowd collected on the outside, and be came exceedingly incensed, supposing that some cruelty was being practised on the woman ; and Barber, the porter, went to the iron gate', and was inform ing them of the true cause of her screams, when she herself suddenly rushed upon him from the lodge, and pitched into him right and left. The anger of the mob was now converted into laughter, and they cheered vehe mently this female pugilist. A party of police at length came, and Mrs. Leary was conveyed to the station-house. The MAGISTRATE told her she was a disgrace to her sex, and in default of payment of fine, sentenced her to a month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. Wm. Evans, Esq., M.P., did not call upon his tenantry for the rents due last Lady-day until Friday week, when he handsomely returned ten per cent. to the whole of his tenantry in Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire.—Nottingham Review. SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTION. On Wednesday evening Mr. Charles Mackie, Se cretary of the Institution, delivered a lecture on the " Five Senses" to a highly respectable and delighted audience, who listened to his rich and varied, but simple elucidations, which, stripped of all sort of technicality, were made to bear on the most humble capacity. The research and industry of this gentleman was made apparent in the luminous subjects before him, which he grasped with a masterly hand; and the in formation and delight which he afforded the audience will, we doubt not, be treasured by the many friends he has created in the Borough, and appreciated by every lover of science. In the wide field of investigation over which he gracefully travelled, he exhibited in his reflections the acuteness and profundity of a highly observant and philosophic spirit, while he had full scope for the exercise of those dissective and analysing capabilities which constitute the dominant characteristics of his highly cultivated mind. His account of the structure of the eye was followed up at the conclusion of the lecture by an exhibition of the eyes of oxen in the various coats or tunics floating in water, th e inspec tion of which elicited much approbation.
