ADVICE. —Whe n M en o f Ed ucat i on and professional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and certain method of treating a few prevailing diseases, the successful result of their expe rience is the best proof of superiority. Messrs. GOSS and Co., Surgeons, have been induced to make the cure of the following the object of their par ticular study, via., a certain disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants, Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret eo!itary vice, tog often unhappily pur sued by the Youth of both Sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, termi nates in impotence and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of k Lich banefnl habits, or arising from any other course, by which the powers of she canatitucion beionie enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co., exclusively professing the cure Of these particular complaints, in order that they may not be by a' mistshp few, inar!,:ed pith the obloquy so justly attachedto the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to t hemselves to state, that they have been properly educated 84, d initiated into every branch of the profession (certitl elites of which, from different HOSPITALS, and testi konials from the most eminent Professors, they have to convince any inquirer) that the success resulting from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice o . f the II Ulnstal practitio44 a 4 ,d they presume COLA t h e i r preten rns constitute a fair ground far the unprecedented non& wce with whi c h th ey h ave , b y t h e P u bli c, b een so libe -1 honoured.

GENIUS - TALENT-CLEVERNESS.---Ge uius rushes like a whirlwind—Talent marches like a ca valcade of heavy men and heavy horses—Cleverness skims like a swallow in a summer evening, with a sharp sh r ill note, and a sudden turning. The man of genius dwells with men and with nature; the man of talent in his study ; but the clever man dances here, there any every where, like a butt er fl y i n a h urr i cane, str iki ng e very thing and enjoyi ng not hi ng, b ut too light to he d as h e d t o pieces. The man of tal en t w ill a t tac k th eor i es —the clever man assail the individual, and slander private character. But the man of geni us despises both, he heeds none, be fears none, he lives in himself, shrouded in the consciousness of his own strength—he interferes with none, and walks forth an example, that " eagles fly alone, they are but sheep that herd together." It is true, that should a poisonous worm cross his path, he may tread it under his foot ; should a cur snarl at him, he may chastise it ; but he will not, cannot attack the privacy of another. Clever men write verses, m en o f talent wr i te prose , but the man of genius writes poetry. ...Wilson's Lectures on Poetry, COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL (Concluded from The Sun of Yesterday). THE GRAND FEAST AT GUILDHALL TO LORDS GREY AND ALTHORP. Alderman WOOD took occasion to state to the Court that it would be most desirable to appoint as early a day as possible for the entertainment to Lords Grey and Althorp at Guildhall.—(Hear, hear.) He had, on the preceding night, seen Lord Althorp, who had mentioned it to him that it was ve; y much wished that the citizens of London would fix a time as little distant as was consistent with their own convenience, and suggested the appoint ment of Wednesday, the 4th of July, as a day be yond which it would be injudicious to go.--(Hear, hear.) It had been thought prudent to wait until all the Reform Bills should pass; but although the Scotch Bill would probably pass immediately, it was very likely that some delay would take place with regard to the Bill for Ireland; and he knew that a great number of the Parliamentary friends of Re form, who were most anxious to witness the enter tainment, would he obliged to leave town as soon as the latter measure should he disposed of. It was agreed to refer the subject to the Com mittee, who will report to the next Court upon the subject. THE PROPOSED ILLUMINATIONS. Mr. COLEMAN presented a petition from the in habitant householders of Mansion House -street, Cheapside, and the Poultry, praying that the Court would devise some more rational way of celebrating the Reform Bill than by illuminating, &c. The LORD MAYOR—Do the petitioners wish to say anything in addition ? Mr. SHOOBRIDGE (one of the deputation) then addressed the Court to the following effect :—lt would be acceptable to every lover of the peace to appoint (if the deputation might be allowed to sug gest to the Court) in each Ward, a committee of six or twelve, to collect a sum of money to build 500 almshouses for the reception of poor decayed citizens, instead of wasting the money by illumina tion. This absurd custom had too long existed. The city of London had, on illumination nights, spent 150,0001., which in a few hours had been burnt into smoke—(laughter) —and what for ? It was falsely called rejoicing; in reality it occasioned misery to many widows and fatherless children. Let the Reformers of 1832 set a noble example of reformation, by erecting monuments of public utility to the memories of King William IV., Earl Grey, Lord John Russell, Lord Brougham, and other worthy Reformers, instead of the senseless custom of illuminating. In order that reason might be feasted, there must be some noble object in con templation. To build 500 almshouses would be an object worthy of the occasion, and he (Mr. Shoo bridge) would recommend that every person pre sent at the proposed feast should contribute ten sovereigns towards the furtherance of such a bene volent design—(Loud laughter)—and so give a substantial proof of their joy at the success of the Reform Bill. Mr. COLEMAN moved that that the petition be referred to the General Purposes Committee, to consider and report upon the same. Mr. DEATH seconded the motion. Mr. STEPHENS rose to move an amendment to the motion. Mr. GALLOWAY seconded the motion. The petition was then submitted to the Com mittee of General Purposes. A Court of Aldermen was afterwards holden, at which they unanimously agreed to present an ad dress to his Majesty, upon the occasion of the late outrage upon him. IRELAND-TITHES. DUBLIN.—On Monday a meeting was held at the Corn Exchange, to consider the case of the farmers of Allen, county Kildare, who suffered their cattle to be sold in preference to paying tithes in money. Mr. Thomas Steele took the chair. Mr. J. Rey nolds, Mr. Ronayne, and Mr. O'Connor severally ad dressed the meeting, and dwelt upon the ingratitud e with which Ireland had been met in return for her late exertions to support Earl Grey. Resolution s expressive of sympathy with the feelings of the farmers of Allen, and of determination to promote subscriptions to remunerate them for their loss, were unanimously agreed to. Swonns.—A meeting, consisting of nearly 10,000 persons, was held on Sunday last, on the commons at this place, to adopt resolutions concerning tithes. Mr. James O'Reilly, a Protestant gentleman was in the chair. Mr. T. Cuffe, as several gentlemen have done elsewhere, gave up any further connexion with the tithe system. He observed, that for fifteen years he was the representativ e of his father, as les see of the tithes of the prebend of Swords, during which time he had never instituted any sort of pro ceedings against any individual for tithes.—(Cheers.) He would now, however, declare that henceforward he gave up all connexion with them.—(Great cheer ing.) This was an example, he trusted, would be followed by every person similarly situated in the country.—(Cheers.) MAINoon-I.—A meeting of the inhabitants of this district, to the amount of 10,000, took place here also on Sunday, upon the subject of tithes. The principal speaker, Dr. O'Kelly, paid some compli ments to the Duke of Leinster, who had the right of presentation to the living here, and by whose conduct the spiritual director had always been on good terms with his neighbours. We have received a communication from a cor respondent in Granard, stating, that a tithe sale had taken place at Ballinahoe, near the town of Long ford. Upwards of 80,000 persons attended, whose demeanour during the proceedings was distinguished by the strictest decorum. At the close of the sale, the immense mass, notwithstanding the strong ex citement produced by the occasion, dispersed to their respective homes in the most orderly manner. Several of the Roman Catholic clergymen were present, to whose salutary influence over the people the peaceable termination of this irritating scene may be justly attributed.—Freeman's Journal. TITHES.--A❑ attempt to levy this unchristian impost occurred on Friday, the 15th of June inst. On the day preceding, a report being circulated that the cow of a poor man, named Dennis Hyde, in the parish of Iveleary, was to be sold for tithe in Mac room, on Friday, by a Mr. O'Leary, of Glasheen, tithe proctor to the Rev. Dr. Sealy,the Rector, who has not seen the parish these twelve years, the sur rounding parishes immediately resolved to attend— on ascertaining which, the Proctor delivered up the cow to the owner, informing him that no sale would be made, and every means were had to counteract and prevent the assembly of the parishes. The in habitants being apprized that no sale would take place, had no idea of a meeting, when there appeared entering the town not less than 18,000 men from th e neighbourhood of Mill -street and Duhallow, ac companied by Dr. O'Connell and many respectable Protestants. There were between 5,000 and 6,000 horsemen, with an excellent band, wearing the ri bands of orange and green. The square of Mac room became immediately thronged, the people having congregated to over 30,000. The multitude havin g been informed that the Proctor relinquished the sale, three cheers were given. An anti-tithe meeting of eleven parishes is con vened for Monday, the 18th inst. in a large field near Macroom, at which it is anticipated 200,000 will assemble.—Cork _Mercantile Chronicle. Yesterday, a large concourse of people assembled at the top of the Threc Rock Mountain, for the purpose of petitioning the legislature for an extinc• don of tithes. There were between 4,000 and .5,0 00 persons on the hill. A boy presented him. self to the meeting, and, in the course of a long speech called on Lord Grey to learn a lesson from the im posing spectacle then before him. " What," said he, " does not such a meeting as this prognosticate ! Here are five thousand men congtqated toge ther, all perfectly sober. Yes ! They have, at our bid ding, abstained from their habitual potations, and all, to a man, are ready to act in obedience to our commands."—(Much laughter.) A petition, pray ing for an extinction to ithes, was adopted.— Saunders's News Letter. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN. CRIM. COL....BURKE U. BRADSUA VV. (From the Dublin Morning Register, of Tuesday.) In this case the pleadings were opened by Mr. J. C. BRADY. It was an action brought by the plaintiff to re cover damages for a criminal conversation with his wife. Damages were laid at 1,0001. The plaintiff pleaded the general issue. Mr. Sergeant PERRIN stated the case for the plaintiff. The defendant, he said, was charged with having seduced the wife of the plaintiff, who was married when she was about twenty years of age, and had always conducted her self most properly, until she unfortunately met with the defendant, Mr. George Bradshaw. The defendant, though a married man, and having a family, was a person who, it was understood, prided himself upon affairs of gallantry, and he unhappily encountered the wife of the plaintiff, Martin Burke. Upon her his arts of seduction were found to be effectual, and the plaintiff now chinned from the jury compensation for the injury which had been done him. James Allis examined by Mr. FOGARTY—The plain tiff's wife was his sister; he was present at their mar riage; the family lived in Tipperary ; some of them were in the employment of the Bradshaws ; he could not tell how long since it was that the plaintiff was married ; he did not know whether the plaintiff saw his wife since June, 1831. Mary Kelly deposed that the plaintiff was married to his wife about three or four years from the last Christmas ; she then stated circumstances as to the plaintiff and his wife living together; she stated circumstances to prove the criminality of the defendant and plaintiff's wife. On her cross-examination by Sergeant O'Loghlen, she said that it was three years since she saw any act of cri minality. John Thompson knew the plaintiff and big wife these five years past ; it was about two years ago they separated ; he saw the defendant at their house one evening ; he saw Mrs. Burke sitting on the defen.lant's knee ; saw letters from the defendant to Mrs. Burke, beginning " My dear Peggy." Verdict for the plaintiff, 6d. damages, and 6d. costs. LOCH LONIONSIDE AND PERTHSHIRE ROAD. On the 9th May, the new road from Tarbe on Loch Lomond, through Glen Falloch, to the termination of the Perthshire road from Killin, on Loch Tay, was opened to the public. The completion of this communication between the Perthshire and Dumbartonshire lines of road will afford the greatest advantages to travellers and tourists. The new road, besides giving ac cess by land to the romantic scenery of the upper end of Loch Lomond, opens by far the best as well as the shortest route to and from the Northern and Western Highlands. Striking off to the north by Tynedrum, it provides an almost direct line of road between Glasgow and Fort-William, to which it will also afford a shorter route from Edinburgh than that at pre sent in use, while it also opens an easy com munication with Oban, avoiding the ferries, which render so inconvenient the line by Inve rary. Branching off again from the Perthshire portion of it, a beautiful route by Lo c h ern h ea d leads in one direction to Callander, within a short distance of the Trosachs, and to Stirling, and in another through Strathern to Crieff and Perth ; while proceeding onwards to Killin, it affords the means of combining in one short tour, Loch Lomond, Loch Tay, and the beautiful district from thence by Aberfeldy to Dunkeld. The distance from the head of Loch Lomond to Killin is 22 miles—to Fort-William, 60 —to Inverness, 122—from Killin by Kenmore and Aberfeldy to Dunkeld, 40—to Callender by Lochearnhead, 21. The excellence and level ness of the road, the variety of the tours, and the picturesque and romantic country which it opens up,—together with the comfortable ac commodation afforded by the admirable inns wherewith the whole line is now provided, and the easy access to the bead of Loch Lomond, by a steam- boat, which plies daily during the season, will undoubtedly "render it more fre quented by tourists than any other line in Scot land. The Dumbartonshire part, which has just been opened, presents a specimen of ex cellence in the art of road-making unequalled in this country. It is conducted along the margin of Loch Lomond ; and, while in some parts formed entirely by embankments .built in the water, it is in others wholly cut into the ' perpendicular faces of lofty masses of solid rock, which jut out into, or overhang the lake. It is throughout, however, perfectly level, forming a striking contrast to the old scrambling breakneck track, impassable to wheel carriages, which zig-zagged up and down along the broken and rugged, though most pituresque bank, and doing the greatest credit to the en gineer, Mr. Walter Mitchell, superintendent of that district of Dumbartonshire roads. For the completio n of this part of the line the public are mainly indebted ofndebted to th e exert i ons o f M r. S mo l let, younger, Bonhill, aided by the liberality of the Marquess of Breadalbane, Sir James Coiqu houn, of Luss, Bart., and others, who subscribed most handsomely towards the undertaking.— Scotsman. A physician, the other day, meandering on the bank of the canal in St. James's Park, was amusing himself with t h rowing pieces of bread to the ducks, when a friend coming by, suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, and asked him how long he had encouraged quackery. In the reign of JAMES I. there was a party called Undertakers, who exerted all their power to in. fluence the elections, so as to endeavour to effect the return of those men who were known to be most inimical to the liberties of the people, and most disposed to favour ar bitrary power. The rump of the old Tory party will be more appropriately styled by this name, than by that of the " Conservativ e ," which they have assumed, as they are now engaged in the same unworthy but fruitless under taking ; or, if another and shorter name, descriptive at once of their defeat and despondency, be wanted, let us call them the Disrnals. Sir ROBERT PEEL has often been compared, by hi s own fr i ends, to an undertaker — solemnin his briskness, and smart in his pomposity. — Times. FORTUN E HUNTING.—The scene of the forthcoming nove l , under this title, is said, to b e c hi efly at Leamington and the work will present, we understand, a laughable picture of the ruses advted at fashionable watering-places by needy adventurers on the look out for women of property. The hero is a soi-disant Colonel, and the heroine a well-known widow, whose charms of purse and person have subjected her to the persecuting addresses of a host of demi-swindlers. REPRESENTATION OF THE TOWER HAMLETS. A highly respectable end numerous meeting of the several committees and electors, from most of the parishes in the Tower Hamlets, was held on Wednesday evening last, at the Town-house, Mile end Old Town, to consider the best means of se curing the return of independent and fit Members to Parliament ; Mr. SNOW, the Churchwarden of Mile end Old Town, in the chair. Mr. ROBERT 0 WEN, of Hackney-road, Bethna- green, in rising to move the second resolution, de termining to call a general public meeting of the electors of the Tower Hamlets, to which candidates should be invited, to declare their principles, said that he strongly felt that no time was to be lost in bringing the electors and the several candidates who had or might offer themselves, face to face. The time for the dissolution of Parliament was fast ap proaching, and there would, if the electors were supine, be many intrigues on foot to obtain the re turn of Members who would defeat the purposes of the Reform Bill, and sacrifice the interests of the people. 'There were indeed rumours afloat that several gentlemen were now canvassing without having publicly announced themselves or declared their principles. This was a state of things not to be borne, and must be immediately put an end to.— (Cheers.) The electors must not be duped, and he trusted it would be ascertained that no Reformers would he found lending themselves to such measures.---(Hear, hear.) For his part, he de clared, that if lie found that any candidate had had his emissaries on foot entrapping ♦otes without giving such pledges as the people of England had a right to expect, he would not only not give that man his vote, but use all his influence, in his parish and elsewhere, to defeat that man at the day of election.—(Great cheering.) A Gentleman here interrupted Mr. Owen to state, that though Captain Marriott bad solicited votes, yet he was anxious to come before a meet ing of the electors to declare that he was the unflinching supporter of popular principles, and would have been present at this meeting, had he not been soddenly obliged to leave town on urgent business. Mr. OWEN continued—The people of England had arrived at an important period of their history. The road to their complete emancipation, and to the remedy of the many crying abuses in the State, had been paved and opened for them ; but they must pursue their course with undeviating firmness, or they would have obtained little by Reform. To prevent unpledged candidates from getting a strong footing in the Hamlets, it was absolutely necessary that not a moment should be lost in bringing them before the general body of the electors, when gen tlemen from each parish would have an opportunity of proving the candidate's principles, exacting pro mises, and publicly extending or withholding their suffrages.—(Cheers.) For his part he would not be so unreasonable as to demand pledges from can didates on points where much difference of opinion existed, or on which deliberative inquiry or evidence were likely to elicit a more correct decision ; but on many points the people of England had entirely made up their minds, and they must therefore know, ere they sent gentlemen to Parliament as their repre sentatives, whether they were prepared to pledge themselves to a particular line of conduct. For in stance, it was clear to all that the present burthen some taxation could be no lona,. • '• didat, :e must p. ~imself therefore to alarge reduc tion; and, if faith were to be kept with the public creditor, that reduction must be met by a corresponding amount in the expenditure; and, if necessary, public property—such as the Church property--must be called in to assist in the exigency. A Reform Par liament must meet the difficulties with firnmess and openness, and not shrink from a remedy, however severe.--(Cheers.) Then it was to be expected that, constituted as the House of Lords at present is, a collision must take place between the two Houses of Parliament, unless a'remedy was found. The Spiritual Barons were altogether unfit to sit in the House of Peers, and had shown so little sym pathy with the people in the late struggle, that they must cease to take a further share in the Legislature of the country.--(lmmense cheering.) The un natural connexion of Church and State must be d siolved. The tithes must be abolished. The un reasonable duration of a seven years' Parliament must be shortened.—(Great cheers.) The standing army must be reduced.—(Cheers.) He only men tioned these among a few of the points on which promises would be expected, and the feeling of the meeting showed all were agreed on them ; and to obtain at an early period of the contest a distinct understanding on them. He strongly urged that a General Meeting should immediately take place. Mr. LITTLE, of Mile-end Old Town, in rising to second the resolution, said that he fully concurred with what bad fallen from Mr. Owen, as many per sons were getting their votes shackled, though en tirely in the dark as to the principles of the candi dates. This was not to be borne, and he for one felt glad that this motion had been placed before the meeting. Several gentlemen were said to be canvassing, and amongst the rest Capt. Marriott ; now, he would like to know whether that gentleman was not receiving some income from Government, and if so he did not think he could go into Parlia ment so free as he would desire. A GENTLEMAN here said that Captain M. was only receiving his half-pay, and that having by his writings on impressment, and by his independent conduct, offended Government, it was not likely he would ever again be in active service; besides, he was a gentleman of large property, and cared not a rush for his half-pay, which was only about 1801. Mr. Offer, Mr. Lawrence, of Shoreditch, Mr. Hatch, Mr. Gole, Mr. Morris, of Wellclose-square, Mr. Hammock, Mr. J. King, and several other gen tlemen, strongly supported the resolutions, and urged the necessity of an immediate meeting. A Sub-Committee was formed to draw up a ca tegory of principles to be laid before candidates, and to prepare the business of the meeting which is to be held at the Town-house, Mile End, Old Town, on Thursday next, when it is expected that Capt. Marriott and other candidates will attend. The most unanimous feeling pervaded the meet ing, which consisted of the most influential and respectable gentlemen of the several parishes, who expressed their determination to have none but most determined Reformers in Parliament. ASSAULT ON HIS MAJESTY AT ASCOTT. —The name of the daring ruffian who so outrageously assaulted his MAJESTY, on Tuesday, at Ascot, is DENNIS Cow/is, and the following is the account which be gives of himself:—He is a native of Kilgarrah, a place about 22 miles from Cork, and is now 57 years of age. In 1797 he volunteered into the navy, and served, first, on board the Canada, under Sir J. B. WARREN, and next in the Atalanta, under Captain DENT. He was in the King's service two years and four months before he lost his leg. He was then warranted as cook iu the Kangaroo, Captain BAKER, where he served eighteen months ; next, on board the Valorous, at first in ordi nary, and afterwards in commission, fur seventeen months; and, last, in the North Star, at Deptford, in ordinary, for about twelve months. He had a pension ever since he lost his leg—first of Si. and afterwards of 141. Two years ago he was admitted into Greenwich Hospital ; in December last he was expelled for interrupting the ward keeper and having words with the boatswain's mate. Since December he has been begging about, and was, on one occasion, committed to Totbillfields for fourteen days. A fortnight ago be went to Southall, and thence to Salt -hill ; he Was at the llioutem. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JUNE 21. SHEAN V. BEVAN, VANHOUSE, AND OTHERS. In this case, which respected the alleged mis management of some West Indian property, and which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, His HONOUR said that, however ill the estate in question might have been managed by the manager in the West Indies, yet there did not appear to him to be the slightest foundation for charging these de fendants (the consignees) with any share in that mismanagement of the estate. He must, therefore, dismiss the bill as against them, and order that they continue to be the consignees of the estate for the future. He should also allow that part of the bill which prayed that the Messrs. Andrews should be appointed the future managers of the estate. The rest of the prayer of the bill he should dismiss. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 21. LAZARUS, ASSIGNEE OF MATTHEWS, v. CHILLCOTT. This was an action of trover, brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defendant, a pawn broker at Bristol, the value of eleven pictures.-- Mr. Matthews, previously to his bankruptcy, sva.; the proprietor of a gallery of pictures ut Bristol, and had 1,500 subscribers; but, in consecrenee of the outlay of money, he was obliged to pledge a quantity of articles, such as spoons, plate, &c., at tha shop of Mr. Chillcott, whom he first became ac quainted with by his taking a subscription ticket for the picture gallery. The articles were pledged in the usual way, Mr. Chillcott, as a pawnbroker, advancing the money, and receiving 15 per cent. interest. On the sth of February, 1830, however, Mr. Matthews took a picture, the subject of which was " Abigail and David"' and, offering it to Mr. Chillcott, wished him to advance 501. upon it.— This, however, he declined to do, as the sum re quired was greater than he was authorized to ad vance under the Pawnbrokers' Act, which limits the highest amount to be given for pledges to 10/. ! but he stated that he had no objection to give him .50/. for the picture, on the condition that, if the money were not returned by the 20th of the following month (March), then the picture, which was, in the interim, to remain at the picture gallery, was to become his property. Mr. Matthews ac cepted the condition, received the 50/. and after wards, in the same month, received, on the same terms, 34/. for another picture, the " Tribute Money," and, finally, BL/. further for nine more pictures, one representing the Laocoon, and eight. others. At the expiration of the time granted Mr. Matthews failed to return the money. Matthews subsequently became a bankrupt, and the defendant, upon being applied to by the attorney to the estate-, and another person, who estimated the value of the pictures at a very high rate, stated that although the money had been advanced conditionally, and he could retain the pictures, still he was wiling to deliver them up upon payment of the sums paid for them, with five per cent. interest, although in that case he should be a considerable loser, as the bankrupt had agreed to give him fifteen per cent. On these grounds, therefore, it was contended by the plain tiff that the money was advanced by the defendant in his character of pawnbroker, and the arrangement about the buying the pictures was a mere pretext to avoid` a charge of lending money at an usurious interest--aad that consequently the agreement was altogether, lull, and he was,kcpisid to return the value of them.. .1 'au Mr. Matthews was examined as a witness, and his cross-examination excited infinite amusement in the Court, from the unblushing way in which he gave his answers to questions destroying altogether his claim either to honesty or proper principle, and also from the extraordinary manner in which he mis applied the King's English. He stated that he was neither a nephew nor cousin to Sir George Cock burn. He did not know a 31. Turner, a pawn broker, but probably Mr. Turner knew him, as some time ago, when he was a rake and a random fellow, he took some spoons to his shop, and, representing them as silver, he obtained money upon them as such, although in fact they were only pewter. He was afterwards taken up on a charge of fraudulently obtaining money, was tried at the Old Bailey, con victed, and sentenced to six months' impri..onment in Coldbatlofields' prison, where he met with every indulgence. They did not indulge him with a walk on the tread-mill, although he certainly tried it by way of experiment, in the same way as any of you (pointing to the Counsel at the bar) might. He afterwards went to America ; but he knew of no c p o la m ce pa t r h e ei t . o e, c n o o i r db h a a t d h .fi b e e l e a r s i , ipnrisao7i: which lie c c o o n i s i i dered there a public orator, and on the 4th of July made an oration which was highly applauded, and on account of which a public dinner was given him, It was not during the Sessions, although it was de livered in the Sessions-house. The witness then repeated a Latin quotation, to the effect that no per ion should be condemned until he was pronounced guilty ; and then said, looking at Mr. Sergeant Lud low, who was cross-examining him, " I dare say, Sir, you k now w hat I me a n ;" but, the Foreman requested that he would give his answers in English, and he immediately then gave a translation of what he had quoted. verdict for the pl a intiff.

Extract of a letter :—" We called on our friends and found them going to Evesham, to see the cele bration of the passing of the Reform Bill, and whilst it is fresh in my mind, I will tell you all about it, because I think it does the people of Eveshern great credit. Instead of an illumination, a subscrip. tion was raised to give a dinner to the poor, and ac cordingly 700 poor men bad as much beef as they could ear, set out on long tables in an open place in the town, with a proper quantity of beer. But in the management was the merit—all done by the tradespeople, who carved and presided. A plate and mug were given to every man, to keep as a me morial. They brought their own knives, which , after the dinner, were ticketed, and returned to the owners next day. The Tory party having foretold great drunkenness and disorder, after the pattern of their own heretofore beautiful election dinners, the Reformers resolved to show the difference, so they prevailed upon the publicans to give out no beer after a certain hour, and some of their body exhort ing them to order and propriety of conduct, there was not one man drunk, or one left in the streets by eleven o'clock. To-day was the fete for the women and children, who had tea and bread and butter, with a good slice of cold beef; and truly it was a pleasant sight. The day was beautiful, and the place was adorned with arches, hung with garlands. All the poorest people, iu their best attire, looking tidy and happy —.a procession, bearing dishes and trays of cold beef, and bread and butter, headed by a band of music, playing the tune of Molly put the kettle on.' I was quite touched ; I felt that the scene was really an indication of an improving state of society. In as corrupt a borough as any in Eng land, and in a neighbourhood where hitherto they have appeared ready to sell their very souls for drink, the value of Reform was so far felt as to in duce every person at all above want to take a share in contributing to the innocent enjoyment of those below them, who, on their part, showed themselves capable of moral restraint, and alive to a sense of the most perfect decorum. The beauty of it was, that it was altogether the people, and nothing but the people, who contrived and executed this most pleasing, rational way of celebrating their triumph."
