and struck the wall instead. The police were called in, and the disturbance was for the time settled. Colonel Needham, in - defence, denied having struck the complainant, or, in fact, having used more force than -, was Necessary to prevent her from ob structing the passage. He certainly did feel irri tated at the insolence of a menial in choosing to 'insult his visitors, who were respectable, and he might at the time have Conducted himself with a warmth which he now regretted. Mr. DYER advised the parties to retire and- settle the matter. The complainant ultimately took a sovereign,together with the expenses being paid, and the parties retired. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—An elderly man, whose habiliments denoted extreme destitution, but whose manners and language evidently indicated that he had seen better days, was brought from the station house, charged with having been found wandering for a number of hours the overnight about the Quad rant; he was also charged by Clements, an inspec tor, with having begged of him, which was the principal reason for taking him into custody. Mr. DYER inquired what he had to say to the charge ? Defendant—lt is true that I was walk ing about the streets last night; I was compelled to do so because I had no money to get a bed with, and also because I was anxious to reach Mitcham at an early hour in the morning. It is true, I did ask the inspector for a halfpenny ; but he was the first and the last person whom I solicited. It was a hit ter night—l was cold,hungry, and miserable, which, together with my infirmities, made me feel that I was unequal to walk to Mitcham unless I first pro cured some sustenance. I therefore did ask for a single halfpenny, not haying sufficient in my pos session without it to purchase a cup of coffee and a slice of bread and butter. Mr. DYER—What business have you at Mitcham? Defendant—l wished to call on Mr. Hoare, the brewer, by appointment, at Mordan Lodge. He is acquainted with my situation, and has promised to assist me in getting admitted into the workhouse a, DYER—What claim have you upon that pa rish ? Defendant—l was for many years a house keeper there, and in affluent circumstances. I wat professor of music, and I taught the lady of Mr. Hoare the piano-forte. A gentleman who was standing in the office, hav ing learnt that the unfortunate defendant's name was Howard, immediately corroborated the truth of his statement, and evinced the utmost surotise and sympathy at finding such a deplorable reverse in his circumstances. The Magistrate having ordered him to be discharged, the gentleman alluded to came forward and put half a sovereign into the old man's hand as he left the office. QUEEN- S Q U ARE. Yesterday two persons, apparently in a state of great destitution, named James Smith and John Denman, were brought before Mr. WHITE, by Colley, one of the S , amp-oflice agents, charged with selling the Poor Man's Guardian, an unstamped publication, containing intelligence. Air. WHITE would have the evidence supported by a disinterested witness. There were plenty of persons in the streets who saw the papers sold, and they were the proper persons. Colley—But, your Worship, they won't come for ward. Mr. WHITE—I can't help that. The defendants are discharged. _ _ _ Dennis and Charles ill'Carty, the former dressed in his Sunday suit of velveteen, and the latter in a round jacket, red plush inexpressibles, ribbed stock it,gs, and high-lows, were charged with violently damaging various parts of the person of Mister James Silk, of Vine -street, Westminster, who ap peared with his " knowledge-box" enveloped in a huk e shawl, which, with his cadaverous countenance and peculiar cast of features, caused no inconside. rable degree of merriment among the persons pre sent. From the evidence it appeared, that Sunday was a grand day among the silk family, inasmuch as the complainant's nevy and Miss Juliana Selina Crow. catcher's nuptials were celebrated at St. Margaret's, Westminster. As a matter of course Mr. Silk was axed to the ceremony, and to the jollification that took place afterwards in his nevy's one pair back room. The defendants were also inwited, and from their appearance, which we have already described, it is but justice to presume they were determined not to disgrace the occasion by presenting themselves in their every day apparel. The red plush inexpressi bles appeared to have been put on for the first time, and the velveteen, if not new, was uncommonly good. The youth in the latter also wore a bran span new waistcoat with four rows of glass drop buttons. A dinner was given to the company by the bride groom ; and lots of gin, half-and-half, pipes of to bacco, &c., graced the table after the cloth had been removed. Without particularizing the numerous toasts—the many happy wishes, such as " Luck and long life to the happy pair ;" " May the pot never be hung of the winder," &c., we shall at once come to the disagreeable part of the business, which was the cause of the present complaint. Between 12 and 1 o'clock at night, or rather Monday morn ing, singing commenced, when a pal of the defen dant's woluntecred a song, which not being relished by the more respectable part of the company, a reglar row ensued, in which the defendants struck the complainant, bit his little finger half off, pulled his whiskers up by the roots, and so denuded him of his Sunday garments, that it was found necessary to procure another pair of inexpressibles before he could with decency venture forth in public. The ladies were in highstrikes, as the complainant's son termed their fainting fits, but they shrieked " mur der" and kicked so loudly, that the police interfered, and the defendants were consequently captured. After a long examination of witnesses, pro and con., Mr. GREGORIE observed, that it appeared ail were equally in fault, and he should discharge the defendants. They left the office in high glee at the result. UNION-HALL. Yesterday, John Marshall, a young man, be tween 18 and 19 years of age, was brought before Mr. :MURRAY, charged with deserting his wife, a comely-looking young woman, apparently younger than himself. • The wife in her examination having proved that she was deserted by the defendant, and compelled to apply for parochial relief, stated, that previously to her marriage, she had been a pauper on Sr. George's parish, the authorities of which gave her a dowry of 41. 10s. upon her marrying the defendant. Mr. MURRAY, perceiving that:Mrs. Marshall's ac couchement was fast approaching, if her size was a criterion to judge by, asked her how long she had been a wife ? She replied that she been married only seven weeks, but could assure his Worship that her husband and no one else was the person who had the best title to her forthcoming offspring. Mr. MURRAY said that whether her husband had the best title or not, he must father it, as he had married her. The Magistrate then remarked that it was a very improper mode of the parish getting rid of their female paupers, by giving a small dowry to induce some equally poor wretch to marry them. Such marriages generally turned out unfortunate, and this case was an exemplification if one were wanting. Mr. Huish, one of the parish officers of St. George's, said that he was not aware t h at an y mo ney had been given to the parties then before the Magistrate for the purpose the wife had described. He however said that a number of benevolent and kind-hearted gentlemen belonging to the parish h a d formed themselves into a society, and raised sub scriptions amongst themselves, the proceeds of which were converted to the benefit of such paupers as were inclined for matrimony, and who were anxious that their progeny should.be born legitimate instead of illegitimate children. He added, that he was convinced that the gentlemen who composed the society had the best motives in view when they established it. Mr. MURRAY said, that his impression of the formation of the society, which was so highly ex tolled, was for the purpose of getting rid of their St. ...z•P`k‘•\, ! } `. paupers by bolding out an inducement of a few pounds to th man who married them, and after all both man and wife generally became chargeable to some other parish. The Magistrate expressed a de sire to know a little about this excellent society as it was termed; and he inquired who was the Trea surer. Mr. Huish said that the sexton of the pa rish acted in the double capacity of secretary and treasurer. Mr. MURRAY inquired of the girl how she was married to the defendant, and whether the parish had used any force to persuade her to consent to their union. She replied that they were married by bans, and that when she became pregnant the gen tlemen of the parish told her that the man who married her should have 41. 10s. as her portion. Mr. MURRAY repeated, that it was a most im proper act on the part of any parish to hold out in ducements of this kind to paupers. In this case the parties, who were both very young, had only lived with each other for seven weeks after the ceremony of marriage, and when the wife was deserted she threw herself upon another parish. The defendant should endeavour to support his wife, and upon this undertaking he was discharged. DEATH OF CHARLES EDWD. M'DONALD, ESQ.-The following melancholy account of the death of this estimable young gentleman, who was a sun of the late Colonel M•DoNar.n, of Higher-Summerland Place, in this city, is from a Madras newspaper of June last :—" The unhappy affair at Cuddapah owed its rise to the circum stance of a dead pig having been thrown into the Mosque there ; in consequence of which profanation of their holy temple, a mob of infuria , ed Mussulmen assembled. A report of this was made to the Additional Sub• Collector, C. E. M'EtosrAtn, Esq., in his Cutehery, when he imme diately hastened to the spot to endeavour to pacify and bring them to reason ; and was there brutally massacred. Of a Naigue and four Sepoys who voluntarily went to Lis assistance, the former (a Mussulman) and two Sepoys were also killed, and the other two wounded. Energetic in quiries are being, carried on into the particulars of this tle- Plorahl, CONTEMPORARY HISTORY.—We are apt to look with great reverence to the authority of men who " wrote at the time" in which the events they describe occurred—for instance :—The John Bull says Sir WAL TER SCOTT married a lady, Miss CHARPENTIER, daughter of a Swiss emigrant ; " Miss CARPENTER, daughter of a gentleman of Jersey," says ALLAN CUNNINGHAM; Miss CARPENTER, daughter of a merchant at Lyons, according to CHAMBERS ; and Miss CARPENTIER, a French emig:6 if we believe the Atlas. So much for the accuracy of contemporary writers.—Atlas. On Wednesday night, at the French opera, an event took place which has created a great impr4s‘ion and given rise to much conversation. A new ballet, in two acts, was produced, by the title of Wathalie, or the Swiss Milkmaid. Ttioraom was an additional attraction. The theatre was full at an early hour; almost every place had been secured, and the society was unusually select. The opera represented all the respectable classes, and none of the lower orders were pres,•nt. At the end of Conde Ory, which preceded the new ballet, Louis PormurE with all his family suddenly made their appearance in their box, and, as usual, " The KING" was announced. On his entry no one rose, the audience remained perfectly cold and silent, and not a cry was heard of " Vive le Roi." On perceiving rills want of respect, M. VATOIJT, an aide de-camp of Lours PHILIPPE, who was in a stage box, made a sign of applauding, when from all parts cr,es, arose of " Chats, Chats," or, as we should say, " Hush, bush !" Some persons then hissed and coughed, and the "majority cried, " The piece, the piece." A few individuals called for " La Marseillaise," but the orchestra did not obey the demand, and the ballet was allowed to commence. Although the piece was a new one, the KING and Royal Family withdrear before the performance was closed, and not a•.: voice was heard of approbation or respect. The frequenters of the palace state that the circumstance has created much annoyance to the KING, QUEEN, and Ma dame ADELAIDE, and that M. vivrorr is blamed for hav ing cried " Vive le Roi" without being sure it would meet with an echo. PROLIFIC WALNUT TREE.-A cottager, at Warsop, near Mansfield, has g tthered from a walnut tree in his possession, 60,000 ripe walnuts, allowing, as they are usually sold, six score to the hundred ; part of which he sold at one shilling per hundred, and the remainder at tenpence; therefore calculating the whole 60,000 to he sold at tznpence only, the tree produced, at that rate 261. a. L. : when green, some thousands were also gathered, which are not reckoned in the above calculation. PERTH SHIPPING.--Within the last 18 years, there have been launched from one building yard in Perth, 63 vessels, measuring per register, 6,040 tons, or about 96 tons to each vessel. Supposing the average price of building to be eight guineas per ton, this would give a total sum of nearly 50,0001. for the above period. In the course of the same time, a number of vessels have also been built by others.—Scotsman. THE PRINCIPLE OF PLEDGES.—A would be member of Parliament for a western county, in course of his canvass, being a Liberal, was frequently taken to task on the subject of pledges; and one day, in enforcing his views to some farmers said, " Would you ple lge a juror before he heard the case, what verdict he should return ?" " Na, na," replied a Radical farmer, " that's no putting the case right—we are the Jurors, and you want to be elected the chancellor (foreman), and we wish to be sure that you give our opinion when you de liver the verdict, as well as your ain."—Edinburgh Observer. Father DE TARTZE, a Jesuit missionary in the beginning of the last century, relates a remarkable in stance of bravery in a ithlayan, of the Island of Polaure, who having been thrust through the belly with a pike, and being unable to extricate himself, or to advance nearer to his enemy, who in this manner kept him off at the dis tance of the pike's length, he forced it, by his own exer tions, quite through his body, and, thus spitted, ran for ward and killed the man who had wounded him.—Anglo Germanic Advertiser.

MARTIN's.—In consequence of the refusal of the Church rate at the late Vestry Meeting, Mr. Churchwarden SALT, at the suggestion of the Rector, con vened a meeting, on Monday evening last, for the purpose of taking into consideration the means of providing the necessary expenses attending the performance of Divine Worship at St. Martin's Church. About twenty indivi duals attended. A resolution was moved by Mr. HARRIS, recommending a subscription for that purpose. Mr. EAGLES moved, as an amendment, that the meeting do adjourn to that day six months, which amendment was carried by a considerable majority. It is much to be re gretted that the meeting was characterised rather by a spirit of unchristian acrimony towards those entertaining different opinions, than by a creditable zeal in support of the establishment. We understand the Churchwarden has communicated the result to the Bishop.—Birmingham Journal. To CURE DRAM•DRINKING.--Dr. LETT som mentions a person who usually drank twelve drains a day ; but, being convinced of his approaching misery, took the resolution to wean himself from this poison. He al ways drank out of one glass, into which he daily let fall a drop of sealing•wax. By this means be had twelfe drops less of spirit every day, till at length, his glass being filled with wax, his habit was cured. —Mirror. STORMING OF CUIDAD RODRIGO.—Theft it was that a gigantic young Irish volunteer, attached to our regiment, was said to have uttered that exclamation of surprise with which lie could deprive a human being of life, that became celebrated afterwards throughout the division. Observing the artillery-man still lingering near his gun, he dashed at him with bayonet fixed and at the charg e . The man stept backwards, faced his foe, but his ' foot b li pp i ng , h e fell aga i nst the gun, and in a moment, the youn g fellows bayonet was through bis heart; the yell with which he gave up the ghost so terrified B— that he started back, the implement of death in his hands, and, apostrophising it, was heard to say, " Holy Moses! how easy ye went into him !" As at the first taste of blood rushes the latrnt fierceness of the tigers whelp, so this event seemed to have altered B--_—'s nature, and doubt less, led to his subsequent misfortunes and premature death.

The King has been pleased to grant unto the Right Hon. William George Earl of Erroll, the office of Knight Marishall of Scotland, in the room of Sir Alexander Keith, deceased. WHITEHALL, Nov. 9. The king, taking into his Royal consideration that, upon the decease of Frederick, late Earl of Guilford, the title and dignity of Earl of Guilford, devolved upon Francis, now Earl of Guilford, as eldest son of Brownlow, late Lord Bishop of Winchester, Prelate of the Most Noble Order of the Garter (who was in his lifetime, and at the time of his death, heir pre sumptive to the said Earldom), whereby, according to the ordi nary rules of honour, the sisters of the said Francis, Earl of Guilford, cannot enjoy that place and precedency which would have been due to them in case their said father, Brownlow, late Bishop of Winchester, had survived the late said Earl, and had thereby succeeded to the said title and dignity; his Majesty had been pleased to ordain and declare that Harriet Gamier, wife of William Gamier, Clerk, Prebendiary of Winchester; Lucy North, Spinster ; and Elizabeth, Baroness Walsingham, wife of Thomas, Baron Walsingham, shall henceforth have, hold, and enjoy the same titles, pl..ce, pre-eminence, and precedence as if their said late father had succeeded to the said dignity of Earl of Guilford.

In the former several deaths have occurred within the last few days, and in the latter we are informed, a medical gentle man was attacked on Thursday, who immediately went into hospital. The new edition of " Dolby's Cook's Dic tionary" is now on sale at the various booksellers. This popular work, it seems, is now rendered more worthy than ever of the public favour, as it contains a consider able body of new receipts, a series of modern hills of fare, and designs exhibiting the most fashionable plans for laying out the table. The plan of this work presents palpable advantages: it is worthy the attention of all housekeepers. THE EAGLE AND IBEX OF THE ALPS.-- While intent on the pursuit of the herd of ibexes, one of those enormous eagles, known as the lammergeyer of the Alps, rose majestically from the deep rocky abyss on our right hand. Far aloft he soared, and seemed to scan with regal dignity our presumptuous inroad into his solitary dominions. His keen eye was ~00n fixed cn an ill- fated young ib e x—downward he came like a thunderbolt on his victim, separating him from the rest of the herd by the violent flapping of his . outspread win gs . Th e poor young ibex, as if conscious of hisimpending fate, uttered piercing cries, and in vain attempted to rejoin the herd, which bounded off at full speed. The eagle with incessantly re peated blows of his wings, compelled the ihex to seek safety in an opposite direction, driving him gradually to the verge of the precipice, then, soaring al o f t to acqu i re more powerful impetus, he again descended obli que l y upon his prey, and with one tremendous blow hurled the poor animal into the gulf below. The eagle quickly descended and began to enjoy his repast. 7.V NS PARIS, Nov, 11. ''., (From the Morning Chroniile.) When the Duchess of Berry was arrested, she addressed herself to General Dermoncourt, and said—" I confide, General, in you. I desire not to be separated from my companions in misfortunes." Of course her " desires" were attended to—she was conducted with all imaginable honours from her chimneY • to the Chateau of Nantes—and from thence to the, Cnateau de Blaye—where elegant apartments, pictures, books, and newspapers, awaited her arrival. When La Croix, a young Republican, only seventeen years of age, was tried the other day—the same day, I believe, that the Duchess was arrested—fur having fouht as a Republican in the streets of Paris, in June last—and when, on being condemned to death, he was asked." what he had to say against the execution of the sentence ?" he replied with calmness and , resignation,. " I FIND THAT I AM A VICTIM—AND THIS BECAUSE I AM A POOR LAD WITHOUT PROTECTION !" So, of course, as he was WITHOUT PROTECTION, the sentence was recorded— and will he commuted to Hann LA BOUR IN THE ih A ',LEI'S Fon LIFE ! ! Does this strike you ? Yes, yes, I know it does! ITladmite the Duchess of Berry, who is the direct and positive cause of hundreds and thousands of murders and massacres, and of civil war for six long months in La Vendee, is conducted in state to the Chateau of Blaye, and is not even to be tried by a Jury—whilst La Croix, a young lad of 17 years of age, is sentenced to death, or, at any rate, as an act of mercy, to the galleys for life, for being a Republican ! "lam a poor lad without protection Will this state of things be perpetuated in France? Will this preference of might to right be fix ever permitted ? Will a Royal culprit always "be protected," and a poor lad he always without "a friend? ' Will there be one law for the rich and another for the poor, established by Act of Parliament? Will it henceforth be known all over Europe and the world, that a Duchess may excite civil war with impunity in France, whilst a poor lad of 17, who helps to raise a barricade in a republican insurrection, is condemned to the galleys for life ? Is this the result of our forty years' contests, labours, sufferings, constitutions, codes, charters, ;and laws? Is this t , :e legacy which Foy, Manuel, Constant, Larnarque, and even Casimir Perier, have left us ? No, no—if we must begin over and over again, we must do so, but of one thing be sure— the French R. volution has not terminated.-0, P. Q. On Monday morning, the brig William the Fourth, of Sunderland, Brown master, which sailed from Warren Point on Slturday, grain !Aden, was driven on shore i❑ Pend ten Cove, Senna', and almost immediately went to pieces, and every soul on board perished. From the cirsumstance of several articles of female apparel having been washed on shore, it is conjectured that some women were on board as passengers.— Western Flying Post. WHAT ARE RUSSIA, PRUSSIA, AND Aus- TRIA ABOUT?—.This is a most important question, and I will answer it at length on another day ; but must just glance at it as the conclusion to this letter. Russia is preparing for war, and is anxious to make it ! Prussia is endeavouring to accomplish the same end in France—viz , a counter-revolution ; but by another means, and that is, by encouraging and aiding the Doctrinnaires ; and Aus tria, fearful of losing her Italian States, and her southern possessions, is endeavouring to gain time by assenting for the moment to what Prussia may agree to—not with the intention of honestly recognizing the Revolution of July— but, on the contrary, with the determined resolution (if possible) of overthrowing it. You must then distinguish between the acquiescence of Prussia and of Austria for the moment; and their preparations and intentions for the future. As the convention of the 22d of October settles nothing, so its execution will settle less. This tt.e Courts of Berlin and Vienna have felt, and they therefore permit the Doctrinnaires to enter Belgium ; but on the express condition, that, by this entry, a majority is gained for them in the French Chambers—that majority shall at once, and without a moment's delay, go on in right earnest with a counter. revolution.-0. P. Q.—Morn. Chronicle. A gentleman intimately acquainted with the coal trade assures us that the effect of the late change has been to lower coals to the consumers not less than eight shillings a ton. But he says that the public. have not been allowed to reap all the advantages they ought to reap from the late Act. By that Act, the corporation of London were empowered to appoint a committee to make rules and by-laws relating to the delivery of coals. The cor poration, however, he says, instead of appointing a com mittee of themselves, delegated their power to a portion of the coal-factors, whose interest it is to throw impediments in the way of keeping the supply equal to the demand, in order to have the price as high as possible. This delegated tion for the loss of their situations—a class of men be tween whom and the factors there was formerly but too good an understanding. Th e y h ave , however, appointed so few, that within the last fortnight as many as 300 sail have been actually waiting for the delivery of their coals. We need not say that all this unnecessary delay, compelling a ship to make three voyages in the time she might make four, adds greatly to the price of the consumer. This is a matter that should be looked into. If the factors have an interest in retarding the delivery, it is natural that they should wish to confine the delivery to the meters appointed by them. However, the corporation of London are not the only party in fault. They have not power to act without the consent of the Lords of the Treasury. But between the two the public good has been neglected, and the factors have been enabled to limit the supply of coals for their own advantage. —. Morning Chronicle. DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday an in quest was held at the Duke of Cumberland, Red Lion street, Spitalfields, on the body of THOMAS JOHNS, aged 42. It appeared that he had cut away from a loom of Messrs. DUFF and BROOK ES, of Spital•square, sixty yards of silk, which became known, and accordingly made a great impression on his mind. On Sunday morning, Mr. Movx, of 7, King-street, Spital-square, where the deceased lodged, was alarmed by the son of the unfor • tonate man, who said, " For God's sake, Mr. MOVE, come up to my father." Mr. MovE ran up stairs, and found the deceased hanging from a part of his weaving machine ; he cut him down immediately, and the first words he tittered on recovering were, " I am determined to hang myself,-_I will not live." Mr. MovE left him, apparently tranquil, witty his son ; but an hour had scarcely elapsed, when he was aga'n called up, and he found the deceased had hung himself a second time. He was cut down, and once more recovered. Mr. MOVE wished a policeman to take him into custody, but as he said he was not authorised to do so on such grounds, Mr. MOPE got a cleric to Messrs. DUFF and BROOKES t,) give him into custody, on a charge of embezzlement. The deceased said, " Ah I Mr. MOVE, you might as well have let me have done it at first, as I am determined to do it." He was placed in a cell in Christchurch station-house, and every precaution was used to prevent suicide, his gar ters, braces, and handkerchief being taken from him. Tll9 next morning (Monday) he was, however, discovered hanging from the gratin; of the window, suspended by both his stockings, and quite dead. Verdict —Temporary Insanity. TITHE SALE IN THEWANDSWORTII-ROAD. —For some time post placards have been posted adverti sing the sale of 50,000 trees, on the nursery-ground of Mr. PHILLIPS, in the Wandsworth-road. Counter ad vertisements were posted by Mr. Plitt,mrs, stating that the property described was to be sold to satisfy the exhor bitant demand of the Rector of the parish (Lambeth) for tithes. The subject was spoken of at a meeting of the Political Union on Monday night, and the Chairman re commended the persons present to attend the sale, which was to take place at 12 o'clock on the following day (yes terday). At one o'clock Mr. Cnoss, the auctioneer, com menced selling, and the persons who surrounded him consisted of about fifty, none of whom had the appearance of buyers, and nearly the whole of whom commenced every sort of annoyance in their power short of actual vio lence. The first lot consisted o f t wenty - s i x f ru it-t rees, for which one shilling was bit which increased to five s hillings, at which they were knocked down. Three or four other lots were subsequently knocked down, some of them consisting of upwards of 100 trees, for Is. 6d. each l ot , The person who purchased the first lot asked of the auctioneer whether he would indemnify him, if, in taking the trees away, he took sufficient earth to pre serve the roots ? To which the auctioneer replied that h e could but sell the trees. Mr. PHILLIPS now inter fered, and demanded a sight of the warrant authorising the sa l e , which, after some altercation, was read aloud by t h e Sheriff's officer in possession. The sale was then about to proceed, when a notice was served upon the auc tioneer, to the effect that the trees were the property of Mr. Pilaw's, senior, the father of the supposed occupier of the land. The auctioneer then left the ground to con sult with the solicitors, his employers ; and the sale was e y conse quently postponed until some future day. O n in quiry. we find that the execution un d er w hi c h th i s sale wa s ordered and is for Lit's, having resisted the pay ment o f t i t h e for a considerable not alacw p tual e.x y for en s thes incur red tithe due b to time Such the Rector. past, was the excitement c ause d i n t h e ne i ghbourhood, that it was fo und n ecessary to have a body of th e p o lic e in attendance. sc, Ni NEW SHERIFFS.

EDWARD IRVING was laid before the Presbytery of Annan on the 7th instant, in the form of a letter, in which he began his address in scriptural terms, " Men and brethren." He ■vowed himself the author of the obnoxious publications, which be attempted to defend in his own peculiar manner. The Presbytery, therefore, proceeded to put the instructions of the General Assembly of the Church in force, and appointed the Rev.

One of the candidates for Dumbartonshire, a gentleman of rank and talent, with a fortune of six thousand a year to boot, gives a lecture on Political Economy, to the Mechanics of Glasgow, on Monday evening, in the Hall of the Mechanics' Institu tion. Mr. COLQUIIOUN is are eloquent speaker, and pos sesses a fine delivery, especially when addressing an audi ence front the hustings. He cannot fail to draw a crowded house.— Scots Times. Sir ARTHUR BROOKE FAULKNER iS about, we understand, to publish a Journal of his recent visit to Germany and the Low Countries, in which it is said -to be his intention, among other objects, to describe the do- mestic habits of the people of the different German States, and of Holland and Belgium. The writer, having ob tained introductions to most of the living characters of eminence in those countries, has been able to give an anec dotal character to his volumes, which will no doubt ren der them very acceptable to the English reader. Being a distinguished mus.cal amateur, we understand also that Sir ARTHUR is very rich in sketches of the present state of music in the different towns visited by him. WILLIAM AUSTIN, who was humanely brought up by the late Queen CAROLINE, is at present in a madhouse at Milan. His mother and the rest of his family are living in Jamaica-row, Bermondsey. In the neighbourhood of Norwich there are, it is said, nearly 20,000 looms, many of which have re cently been employed in the weaving of silk goods, whi&i were formerly engaged in the manufacture of mixed good,. It is asserted that upwards of SOO in the employ of one manufacturer are now engaged in weaving Bros de Naples at the miserably low rate of 4d. per yard ; a price, we are informed, one-third lower than even that which the poor weavers in this neighbOurhood are able to obtain.— Macclesfield Courier. Saturday, the 3d instant, a crib-house, in the parish of Holwell, belonging to G. WARRY, Esq., of Sherborne, was discovered to be on fire, and, before the flames could be subdued, the building was burnt down. There is, we are sorry to say, too much cause for believ ing the fire was occasioned by the diabolical act of an in cendiary, as it was observed that the flames issued fi om two ends of the building when they first broke out. Mr. WARRY has offered a liberal reward for the discovery of any person who was connected with the affair.— W es t ern Flying Post. About a quarter past ten on Saturday night last, a large hay-stack, worth 1001., the property of CHARLES ATTWOOD, Esq., which stood in a field close to the village of Dunstan, was discovered to be on fire. An immediate alarm was given, and every effort made to overcome the flames. An engine was soon procured in the neighbourhood, but unfortunately it could not be got to work. Water was brought to the spot in buckets and other vessels, but the fire continuing, an engine was at length obtained from Newcastle, about 3 o'clock in the morning, and by 4 the fire was extinguished. Some part of the hay was saved, and the corn-stacks near it were for tunately preserved. Fears are entertained that this is the work of incendiaries.—Newcastle Chronicle.

Mr. Valpy has conferred a great benefit on , the public by this cheap and graceful edition of the works of the " world's first wit." We wish, however, that in addition to Dr. Johnson's preface, he had given us also Mi. Hazlitt's criticism on Shakspeare, which, if we remember rightly, is included in his " Remarks on the English Poets." We should then have had the opinions on the same great wilier, of our two ablest critics, yet who differed more in their habits of thought and expression than any two that ever)ived. Nevertheless, thou g h one was a rank Tdiy and the other a rank Jacobin ; though one was fet t,•red in his literary opinions by rule and judg ment, and the other held all such trammels in utter scorn ; though one was the critic of sense and sagacity, with scarce an atom of refinement, and the other all fire and enthusiasm and fertility, with an excessive nicety of discrimination such as we may vainly seek elsewhere ; though the genius of the one was of analysis, and of the outer generalization ; though the style of the one was cold, stately and rhetorical, and of the other pointed, hearty, colloquial, and at times inex cusably negligent ;—though Johnson and Hazlitt were thus "wide as the poles asunder,"each being, as it were, the antipodes of the other ; yet on the single subject of Shakspeare, they were united in the bonds of lusty fellowship, and strove who should chaunt the stoutest "Io PEean,"in honour of their common idol. Johnson, however, re verences Shakspeare chiefly as the man of the world ; Hazlitt, as the poet and the man of • feeling. Johnson looks to his tact, readiness, and matchless facility of dialogue (the sly old moralist thinking all the while of his own cd loquial talents) ; Hazlitt, to his power of lay- . ing hare the springs of passion, and tracing every emotion ofthe mind, through a thousand branching and scarcely perceptible channels ight up to its fountain head. It is not saying too much of Hazlitt (though it is saying a great deal) that, in his Shakspearian criticising, he has all that Johnson wants of excellence. He feels his subject more intensely, sets about it with a live lier -relish, cuts deeper into it, makes more valuable discoveries, and comes to more efficient conclusions. Johnson was purblind, or nearly so, to all but what lay on the surface of Shalts-. peare's writings. He speaks of his comic pow ers with alacrity ; but of his capacity of exciting, terror or pity, with coldness and distrust, as _ though he did not see his way clearly. It is here that Hazlitt is in his glory. Any thit,g more eloquent or discriminating than his notices of Othello, Shylock, Macbeth, and more - especially Lear, are not to be met with in. English, or, indeed, in any other, literature. Again, Johnson can find little or nothing to praise in Shakspeare's female characters. " Nei.4 ther his gentlemen nor his ladies," says - he* " have much delicacy, nor are snEciently diSc tinguished from his clowns by any appearance of : refined manners." In this part of the subject, which Johnson finds so barren, and which he naztita has mane a world of delightful discoveries. We do ngt. here allude merely to what he says of such broadly marked characters as Lady Macbeth, Constance, Queen Catherine, or Beatrice, but to his exquisitely subtle and delicate apprehen sion of the more recondite qualities of a Viola, a Rosalind, an Inzogen, a Hermia, or a Mi randa. These last puzzled old Johnson sadly. He knew there was something in them, but what that something was, he could not for the life of him make out. They were too unworldly, • too far removed from common-place, for his shrewd, stern, unimaginative intellect to grapple with. It was reserved for Mr. Hazlitt to bring,. them out in the finest and raciest colours ; to show that each was full of " mark anti likeli hood." His character of Juliet is tile daintiest,' most original bit of criticism we know of ; and his defence of the strong inherent delicacy of - the fair Veronese (which it has been so long the fashion to impugn, because it was not suffi ciently disguised by art and worldly tact) as sagacious as it is impassioned. To the land scapes and pictural epithets of Shakspeare, by which he places the idea he would convey, at once before the mind's eye, Hazlitt, and he alone, has done equal justice. Here again, as in the former instance, Johnson Was deficient. It was with the ambitious and rhetorical, not the refined, unobtrusive, and familiar passages of Shakspeare that he was best fitted to deal. His idolatry of Pope spoiled him for all such efforts. Yet despite its defects, his Preface still remains a noble monument of skill, eloquence, and saga city, though it is as inferior to Hazlitt's, as his criticism on Pope and Dryden is superior. Of the style in which the present edition of Shakspeare is got up, we cannot speak too warmly. Its mechanical department such as paper, print, &c., is perfect, and the addi tionwe of renders have. i Bo t t l i del Ihee most iswelfte, finishedil well-known nsiomin) work oarkn embellishments, of pleasingly t h e sort w enhasa r nev i f t en t n e rlee n v‘f .v , ee orr t rr h ehk o da, u vo, g e,r h ttseonh t o h ea e rkmts b hap i na t e ) yna g r r ahe a tel p ea h hen e dad r so , his ss enoTetf,hi the tmioneksg,m ight: Drake'sartgreatest writer that the anmcitoennatttioilrtyh m e odern world ever saw.
