Judging from the degree of approbation with wbinch the former edition of Dr. Milligan's Celsus was received by the Royal College of Surgeons, and the Honourable the Corn pany of Apothecaries, it is hoped the Delphin Index, and other matter added to this edition, will in no inconsider able degree enhance i!s value among those who regulate the course of Medical Education. Celsus may now be perused with the same facility as He berden or Sydenham. We need hardly after this say that Dr. Milligan's edition of Celsus ought t o become a rlassical stand ard work in the library of every medical man."—Med. Chirurg. Review, July, 1826. " It would be difficult to mention a more disinterested ex ample of the application of medical knowledge and classical learn ing, or one for which the student ought to be snore gratefuL— The text is throughout correct to an extraordinary degree. To conclude, this edition of Celsus is the best which has been pub lished since the original one of Targa, and it may be justly re commended to the attention of the student,"—Ellin. Med. and Surg.

We do not offer to the public a Journal fashioned after the manner of those with which it is at present familiar. The interests which we intend to advocate, and the ob jects to the accomplishment of which all our exertions shall be devoted, are of a kind which Magazine writers have hitherto, for the most part, neglected or shunned. Draw ing-room and holiday literature is well enough in its own place, and we are by no means disposed to quarrel with it. But a change has come over the spirit of the time ; mighty questions have been stirred ; deep interests have been created ; vast masses of men, formerly inert and passive, have suddenly begun to heave to and fro with the force of a newly inspired animation ; old things are passing away ; and while probably on the eve of great events, it has ap peared to us not only desirable, but necessary, to provide an organ or vehicle through which the voice of a renovated people may be heard. With that view, 'fait's Edinburgh Magazine is offend to the public. In its scope it will embrace Politics, Li terature, Science, Economics, Legislation, and Jurispru dence ; in short, every thing connected with, or cal culated to advance, the improvement of Society. Oi Reform it will be the fearless and uncompromising ad vocate,—of abuse, wherever it may lurk, or to whomsoever it may be profitable, the constant and merciless enemy. Some—a•e ought rather to say much—of the best intellect and learning of the country has been secured for its service ; and in the list of its contributors will be found names of the highest distinction in letters. Utility will ever be its first and greatest object—strict impartiality its invariable characteristic—active and searching industry the con stant duty of all connected with its management. Of the Literature of the month, it will afford a com plete and carefully digested picture. Every new book will be reviewed at greater or less length as its importance may demand. Tait's Edinburgh Magazine will thus unite the properties of a Review with those of a Magazine, or Repository of useful information and inde pendent discussion ; and it will also form a faithful record of every step in that improvement of our institutions which must rapidly follow the Reform in our Parliamentary Re presentation. But although we have resolved, if pos sible, to be useful, we have, at the same time, vowed not to be dull. There are no weeping philosophers in our corps. Democritus himself might have joined us, with out compromising his character at Abdera. We seek, above all things, to be instructive ; but we flatter our selves we cm also impart to our labours a degree of interest sufficient to conciliate even those who read only that they may be amused.

FATAL ACCIDENT FROM HuNTING.—We regret having to announce the death of the Rev. Mr. PRICE, Rector of Lower Weedon, Northamptonshire, oc casioned by an injury received while hunting with Mr. OSBALDESTON'S hounds on Tuesday. The Rev. Gentle man joined the chace at the place of meeting, Stove Wood, and a fox being soon found there, a spirited chace took place, the fox making off at a slapping pace in the direc tion of Everdon. In leaping a brook at the latter place, the Rev. Gentleman' s horse f e ll with him, but without doing him any injury. On getting up, considering the accident to be the fault of the horse, the Rev. Gentleman administered the whip to it pretty freely ; after which he remounted and followed the hunt. On coining to a fence at the extremity of the field, the horse, in clearing it, pro bably stimulated to encreased exertion by the chastisement it had so recently received, leaped unusually high, and in the descent the Rev. Gentleman was thrown with great force against the pommel of the saddle, and bruised so dreadfully that lie almost immediately fell to the ground. The utmost sympathy and attention were shown to the Rev. Gentleman by the large field of huntsmen who wit nessed the accident. He was promptly removed to the . house of a gentleman in the vicinity, and expresses sent ofl for a physician and a surgeon, who shortly after arrived ; but the injury received was so extensive and of such a nature, as to defy the utturst exertions of their professional skill, and the Rev. Gentleman expired within six hours afterwards, having en d ure d i n the interval the mos t ex cruciating pain. Intelligence of the melancholy occurrence was conveyed to Mr. ABBEY, one of the Coroners for the county, who has held an inquest on the body, at which the above facts having been proved in evidence, a ver dict of Accidental Death was recorded. A short, shaggy-haired, bull-headed fellow, who gave his name Henry Allen, was placed at the bar under the following circumstances : —Sapwell, the street-keeper of Bislaopsgate, said for the last six months the inhabitants had been continually annoyed by some person leaving the carcasses of skinned cats and dogs about the different alleys in the parish. The parish authorities had endeavoured, without success, to find out the offender, until the night before, when the defendant was detected by a boy in the very act of depositing a whole sackful' of skinned cats and dogs in Angel-alley. Upon being taken into custody, lie denied having thrown them there, but the sack was a suffi cient witness, as it was quite wet with the blood of the animals. The officers accompanied him to a miserable room in Srnallcoal-alley, which he occupied with a woman with whom he cohabited ; and although their noses were none of the most delic ite, they were nearly overpowed by the stench which proceeded from the apartment. They found there a quantity of bones, and the carcase of a large turkey, full of maggots; the bind-quarters and fore legs of a Newfoundlan'l dog, apparently fresh killed, were also found ; and from the manner the joints were dressed, it was the opinion of the officers they were intended for hu man food ; in another corner lay a young child with its back broken, on a heap of filthy rags. It was evident that the prisoner was an old hand and in extensive practice in the " skinning" line, so it was the deterniination of the parish not to allow him to remain, as the nuisance of late had become intolerable. The prisoner replied to: the charge, by asserting that he had not thrown the dead cats into the alley. A very sharp boy, named Atterbury, contradicted this, and stated, that his curiosity being excited by seeing the prisoner with a sack on his shoulders, he went behind and felt that it contained something soft. He continued to watch him till he came to Angel-alley, when the prisoner emptied the contents of his sack on the stones. Among its contents was the carcase of a large dog with its coat off.

Prisoner ?—The prisoner hereupon made a genuine Whitechapel salam to the Magistrate, and said, " I'm a hard-working young man, your Honour's Lordship, as wouldn't eat nothink hut a honest bit of bread. I vorks at Blackfriais-bridge in summer as Jack of the vater, and in vinter I takes my Pack and picks up old bones and anything else as comes handy—here's the hole fact of the matter. I vent out to get a few taters for supper, ven up comes this young varmint, who owes me a spite, with two hofficers, and they lugs the afore your Vorship for a crime vich I'm a perfect innocent on. Alderman Sir C. MARSHALL—But how do you ac count for the (log's legs which were found in your room ? Prisoner—Lord bless your Vorship, them are vorn't no dog's legs ; they were the legs of a donkey.—(Laughter.) Mr. Hobler—Pooh ! the officers must know the &Er enee ; besides, where could you pick up donkeys? Prisoner—l never knows vot I picks up sometimes. The worthy Alderman remarked that the practice of tie prisoner was enough to create a pestilence, and if it was not abandoned, it would be his duty the next time to visit the offence with severity, lie would allow the prisoner to depart this time upon a promise that he would leave off his disgusting trade, and remove from his present quarters.—The prisoner gave the assurance with great alacrity, and was allowed to depart. UNION-HALL. A man named Dalston was charged by his wife with neglect, and refusing to maintain her. She stated that although her husband was nearly thirty years her senior in point of age, yet that she could not keep him at home or from looking after other women. He had some pro perty, upon which they could live comfortably without labour of any kind ; but instead of enjoying himself with his family, he was never easy but when he was roving about and intriguing. He humbugged her for a long time by saving that he was in the habit of frequenting a public-house where he met company. She, however, having some suspicion that he employed himself differently, disguised herself on several occasions recently, and followed him when he left home. lie usually crossed the bridge into the City; and no sooner was he out of the district in whi c h he lived, than he commenced ogling every woman at all decent-looking; and if he received any encourage ment, he availed himself of it, and hastened off with his lady to a place of retirement. She added that if he did not receive a check such as would correct his cruel propensi ties, it would plunge the whole of them in poverty, and a workhouse would inevitably be their portion. Dalston, in tears, implored his wife to forgive him. He admitted that he had been a wild man, but that from the present time he should renounce all bad company. The Magistrate said they had better arrange matters to gether, and advised the wife not to proceed to extremities, particularly after the contrition he evinced. The parish officer said that the wife had applied for re lief. —Mrs. Dalston expressed her forgiveness of all that had passed, and her husband having refunded the parish money, they left the office in perfect amity together. DUBLIN, JAN. 30.—As the Royal Mail was on its way from Castlebar to Ballinasloe, a few miles beyond this town, on Saturday last, it met with a most dreadful accident :—The two leaders took a start and got a-head in spite of an unskilful coachman, who had no command of them for the space of two miles; when coming to a bridge the two restive horses bolted over, and were suspended by the traces, and could not be extricated until the traces were rut, when both horses were precipitated into the river and their necks broken. The off was killed, a❑d his brains were dashed against the battlements of the bridge. Great blame is attached to the driver, as he indulged himself in drink that day. He was overjoyed in consequence of his fellow-jarvey gaining a point of law at the Tuam Petty Sessions, hail on that day. Fortunately the passengers escaped unhurt.— Castlebar Chronicic. In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Monday, the Hon. FREDERICK CAVENDISH was called up for the judgment of the Court for a libel on Lord BING HAM, published in the Mayo Telegraph, of which de fendant is proprietor. The libel was a publication of some letters on the occurrences of a misunderstanding and duel between Major FrrzcEßAT.o and Lord BINGHAM. Mr. CAVENDISH was heard at great length in mitigation, and disclaimed any personal feeling towards the Noble Lord. The Court sentenced him to pay a fine of 501., which was at once done, and Mr. CAVENDISH was dis charged.—Dublin Morning Registerr. There is a great talk in the city about the Mi nisters not being able to stand their ground ; and the Tories are in high spirits, in expectation that their party will be shortly in power. " Heaven help the silly ones !" Poor things, what could they do if they were in power ? It would be only marching up the hill to mach down agai❑ ; or rather to tumble down head foremost. Wise men now laugh at the Anti-Reformers.—Morn. Herald. Extremes are said to meet. We are told by one of those ingenious publications called " Magazines of " Fashion," " that it is now the custom at dinner parties to place a glass vase of rose-water before each guest, in which A naor of the essence of mint has been infused. The extreme coolness which form one of the properties of that herb leaves a pleasant freshness in the mouth during the rest of the evening !" Peppermint ! gill and peppermint. We congratulate the distillers and retailers of the two essences. The " ladies in aureoles of scol loped blonde" ca❑ cool their mouths with a drop of the essence of mint, as well as the more natural belles of Bil lingsgate with the essence of juniper.— Times. NEW WORK, BY THE AUTHORESS OF Tit DIARY OF AN ENNUYEE."—“ More valuable biographical sketches than Mrs. JAmEsotes Memoirs of Female Sovereigns,' just published, have rarely been offered to the public. The authoress shows not only an intimate acquaintance with the various periods of the world's his tory, in Ivhiell each Sovereign mentioned in these Me. moire figured, but likewise, very considerable tact and dis crimination, in seizing upon the strong and most interest ing features of their lives ; her style is also elegant and perspicuous. We consider this work, in fact, a valuable addition to our standard literature."—Scotsman TH E NEW HACKNEY COACH ACT.—UII Thursday at Queen-square Police-office, the Duke of 13En "An, Messrs. TIVININGB, of the Strand, and a number of other persons, were fined ss. each and costs, for having their names painted on their carts in unlauful colours. For instance, the Duke of BEDFORD'S -name was in white letters upon a green ground, whereas, according to the new Hackney Coach Act, it ought to have white letters upon a black ground, or black letters upon a white ground. Viscount STRANGFORD moved for a series of re turns, relative to the foreign shipping Which had arrived in this country for the last three years ; also for a return of all sums paid by the Treasury to corporations, as a compensation for their loss of dues under the Reciprocity Act, from the Ist of Jan. 1826 to the let of January, 1832. The Noble Lord said he did not mean to blame the Government for paying these sums. They had only acted in this respect as their predecessors had done, but both had acted illegally in so disposing of the public money. Lord AUCKLAND said it had only come to his know ledge a few days ago that such payments were illegal. A Bill of Indemnity was in preparation, and would soon be before the House. Lord TENTERDEN moved the third reading of the Arbitration Bill. The Marquis of WESTMEATH was perhaps irregular in making any remarks on the third reading of a Bill, but he was very anxious to see this Bill extended to Ireland. Lord TENTERDEN observed, such an amendment might be introduced in the other House of Parliament. He could not now do it. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Embezzlement of Public Money Bill went through a Committee, and was reported without amendments. Their Lordships then adjourned till Monday. HO USE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 3. At Four o'clock the SPEAKER. took his seat. Mr. HODGSON brought in a Bill fur making a rail way from South Shields to Monkwearmouth, which %vas read the first time. Mr. CHAYTOR obtained leave to bring in a Bill for constructing some wet docks in the port of Sunderland. Mr. BLAAHRE presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of customary lands in Brampton and its neighbourhood, in the county of Cumberland, against the General Registry Bill. The Hon. Member contended the Bill made an invidious distinction betwee❑ customary tenants and copyhold tenants. He also presented three similar petitions from different parts of Cumberland, in one of which, so great was the feeling against the Bill, that the petitioners suppressed their willingness even to forego the benefits to be derived from the great measure of Reform rather than be compelled to receive and adopt a general system of registration. Mr. CAMPBELL presented a petition from the no bility, clergy, &c. of the county of Argyle against cert.iin parts of the Scotch Reform Bill. Sir G. MURRAY was extremely happy that he hap pened to be in the House when the lion. Member pre sented the petition, because he was sure the Honourble Member and himself would entirely concur in the respect ability of the parties from whom it came. He agreed with the observation made by the Hon. Member, that the persons signing the petition were not Anti• Reformers, in deed he thought very few entitled to that appellation were resident in Scotland. He was not absolutely opposed to Reform, but joined hand and heart with the petitioners in praying for moderate Reform. He per- fectly coincided with the petitioners in considering that the clause which threw the great mass of the constituency into the hands of the 101. householders was ex ceedingly objectionable in that part of the country from whence the petition came ; it would be the means of over whelming the landed interest. After a few observations front Mr. CAMPBELL, the pe tition was ordered to be printed. The HON• MEMBER then presented a petition to a simi lar effect from a borough in Argyle. Also petitions from Fifeshire, Argyleshire, snd the island of Isla, praying that a Reform as extensive as the one brought forward by Ministers might be passed into a law. Mr. AIORRISON thought the petitions which had just been presented, slimed the great neces sity there was for a Reform in Scotland. Mr. CAMPBELL then presented a memorial from the inhabitants of Argyle, praying for no alteration on the drawback on malt. Mr. HODGES presented a petition from a person re siding in Kent, complaining of the mal-operation of the poor laws. The Hon. Member also presented a j etition from the solicitors of Kent, signed by upwards of 100 persons, against the General Registry Bill. It had been stated that gentlemen in the situation of the petitioners had a private interest in opposing this Bill. He was however quite satisfied that no motives of a selfish na ture could be attributed to that respectable body of which the petitioners formed a part. Sir F. BLAKE presented a petition from Berwick upon-Tweed, signed by the Mayor and several Magistrates, against the General Registry Bill, and praying that it might not pass into a law. The Hon. Member entirely concurred with the prayer of the petition, believ ing that the most injurious effects were likely to en sue if the Bill should become the law of the land. It was a great hardship that such a measure should be forced upon the country against the wishes and inclinations of the landed interest. He gave every credit to the Hon. and Learned Member who introduced the Bill, but it was an injudicious measure—it was an innovation amounting almost to an invasion of the right of property. If that Honourable and Learned Gentleman would still persevere, he might expect the determined opposition of every Member in that House, who, in the true English spirit, might be led, but would not be driven. - Mr. CAMPBELL said that if, after the Bill was dis cussed and understood, it did not meet the public approba tion, he would most willingly withdraw it.---(Hear.) At present, however, it was wholly misunderstood, or rather misrepresented. He felt it his duty still to press the Bill into Committee ; for he was certainly most anxious that it should be discussed in that House, and understood out of doors. Ili* own private opinion was that it would lie beneficial in its operation ; but if, after its merits were known, it met the public disapprobation, he would most willingly withdraw it.—(Hear.) Sir F. BLAKE also presented a petition from the Justices of Peace and Grand Jury of the General Quarter Session of Berwick-upon-Tweed, against the General Registry Bill, and stated that landowners were more com petent to judge of what was for their own interest than the promoters of this Bill ; and while the general opinion of the country was so unequivocally opposed to the measure, he hoped the House would pause before it allowed it to pass into a law. Mr. BAYNTON presented a petition to the same effect from the city of York. Instead of facilitating, the General Registry Bill would greatly obstruct the borrowing of money upon mortgage; while the deposit of deeds would be inju rious, and might promote litigation. . . _ Mr. CROkEit highly approved of the principle of the Bill, but would not be thereby precluded from ob jecting to some of its details in Committee. Mr. CAMPBELL would feel proud of the Right Hon. Gentleman's assistance in amending the Bill in Committer. In answer to the objection made by the Hon. Member for York, he would only say that the effect of the Bill would be greatly to facilitate the borrowing of money on mort gage, and the objection proved only that the Hon. Member and his constituents who objected to it had not sufficiently considered the Bill. Mr. FRENCH presented a petition from Roscommon for an additional number of representatives for Ireland. O'CONNOR DON supported the player of the petition. Mr. (RATTAN regretted that the Irish Reform all was so different from t heEnglish one, and contended that, as far as the machinery of the measure was concerned, the Irish Bill should be the same as the English Bill. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from the Reformed Association of Paisley against the Anatomy Bill now before the House ; the petitioners stated that they viewed that Bill with horror and disgust. The petition being signed only by the chairman and secretary, altliong4 agreed to at Lord ALTHORP did not think it would be long before he should be able to lay the information before the House. Lord G. SOMERSET wished to know whether it was the intention of Ministers to bring in a Bill, and when, :ix the purpose of amending the defects of the Beer Bill ? Lord ALTIIORP said, whatever regulations might I e thought of with respect to that Bill, be trusted none would ever be adopted calculated to alter the main principle of the Bill. At present he was unprepared to say he would bring in any Bill on the subject. Lord G. SOMERSET was of opinion that some altera tion should be made in the enactments of the Bill. And unless some abler person than himself took up the subject, he should himself set about preparing a measure for the consideration of the House. Col. DAVIES did not conceive there could be a more mischievous Bill than the Beer Bill, as it at present stood. There was not a Magistrate who did not complain of it.—(" Hear," from Mr. Hume.) The Gallant Colonel did not understand that cheer from his Hon. Friend the Member for Middlesex, who he believed from one year's end to the other, though a county Member, never left Lon don, and knew as much of the effects of the Bill: as the table before the Speaker.—(A laugh.) Mr. HUME protested against the evidence of Magistrate 8 on this subject—the evidence of men from whom by tl.e Beer Bill a monopoly had been taken away—(Hear and cheers)—and who, no doubt, were anxious to get that monopoly restored. With regard to his ignorance On this subject, he would assert that he knew just as much, and probably snore, about the effects of the Beer 13,11 in its present shape, than the Hon. Member who had taken upor. himself to pretend to so much knowledge. He had a great deal to do throughout the county which he represented, and both front his personal observation, and from all that he had heard, be could assure the House, in Middlesex at least, the Beer Bill was extremely beneficial. Colonel DAVIES said, it was not with a view of keeping up the desire of a monopoly that he bad al luded to the Magistrates at all. The Magistrates did not object to the Bill, because it deprived them of a mono poly—it was only against the clause permitting tippling on the premises that they objected to. Mr. WAYLAND put a question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer respecting the poor laws, upon which Lord ALTHORP could only say, as he had said last night, that the inquiry was now going on on the sub ject of the Poor Laws—that inquiry could not take a long time, and as soon as possible after it was concluded, he intended to bring in a Bill. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the REFORM BILL. Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. Mr. E. DENISON,in reference to the 27th clause,would adduce an adjudged case to prove the endless litigation and general confusion which would arise under its present form. It had been decided at the General Quarter Ses sion, that a person inhabiting a house and paying 4s. a week had a settlement under the clause, but when brought before the King's Bench, it was decided that although the payment of 4s. a week was a larger sum than 104 a year, yet it did not give a settlement. That lef question where it was, and, in the same way, endless liti gation and squabbling would be occasioned without com ing to any satisfactory conclusion. The decision left is open to what weekly amount would give a settlement. His proposition, however, which was indeed substantially that of his Hon. Friend, would be founded on the simple rate, and not upon the value. The question of rate was preferable to the question of value; he would, therefore, fix the franchise upon the former. It might be objected that a new assessment would be occasioned all over the country, which being so universal, might admit of much job bing. He was anxious, therefore, tct avoid the necessity of a new Reform, and he should propose that reference be made to the Commissioners to the rate as it stood at present. If the 101. clause were sent forth in Cumberland, by the objection arising from value, it would be a ver fruitful source of litigation, which under his prop •:51- tion might be prevented.—( Hear, hear.) He shoald therefore move as an amendment, to leave out the words in clause 27, which followed the word " occupy" in line 28, down to the words 101. in line 33, for the purpose of in serting the following words ! "Any premises answering to the description hereinafter mentioned." Lord JOHN RUSSELL understood his Hon. Friend to propose that the franchise should be attached 'to the house, rather than the persons inhabiting it, and that houses having been ascertained to be of the value of 101., a settlement under the clause should belong to it. But the difficulty, if it existed, did not to his mind appear to he at all les sened by the effect of this proposition, The difficulty would be at that to ascertain whether the house was of that value. It would not be necessary to enquire into the subject of the value again, for, as a point of practice, an occupier of a house would be admitted to rate as the occupier of a house of 10/. a year. The difficulty was with respect to those houses to which an additional value had been affixed, and which the Honourable Member who had just sat down, had proposed should not be placed in the register till after the lapse of three or five years, with regard to that difficulty which he felt, he (Lord J. Russell) did not think that it was just to act as he had pointed out, because persons who had built houses of considerable value ought to derive the !same advantage and the same privilege which was enjoyed by persons inhabiting a house of 101. a year. With respect, however, to what the Honourable Member had stated with reference to houses rated at 10/. a year, as to the difficulty of as certaining their value, on which a good deal of discu.sion had taken place last night, there was only one fact by which be (Lord John Russ e ll) had tri e d t o pu t aside that difficulty, namely, that in the city of Norwich there bad been for some length of time very serious disputes with respect to the appointment of the guardians of the poor by the corporation, and at length an inhabitant of Norwich applied to Parliament for a Bill, by which the right of voting for guardians of the poor was vested in persons occupying lands or tenements of the value of 101., and who should be rated to the relief of the poor.—(Hear.) That Act had been in operation for some time in the city of Norwich, and a year or two ago, that Act requiring an amendment, certain parties brought in a new Bill, which was the subject of much dis cussion in that House, but the clause which enabled persons occupying tenements of 101. a year to vote at the election of guardians for the poor, had been found so efficient in practice, that it was introduced into the new Bill without any alteration. The Noble Lord then read a letter front a gentleman residing in Norwich, strongly advocating the good effects which had resulted from that clause to the city of Norwich. The Noble Lord referred to the Act of 1827, and read the clause in it relating to the 101. qualification, and stated that it had been found easy in practice, and wasar carried on now without difficulty. The application forafranchise would be tried with a kind of favour on one s id e, , on tiun would have but little difficulty hi having that c ann decided. Mr. W. WY.NN thought the election of guardian of different from that of a Member of Par - the the poor was very p th e e rs s o i r d ls e c o l f ai t n l , i i o n s g e tcolavinoatiengiuth:ifrrtauneclo:ira, 101.
