REGISTRATION IN MIDDLESEX. The Courts of Revision were held yesterday, at White Conduit-house, Islington, for the Islington district, com prising the parishes, precincts, and places following :—St. Luke ; St. Botolph Without, Aldersgate ; the united pa rishes of St. James and St. John, Clerkeswell ; St. Mary, Islington ; St. Diary, Stoke Newington ; St. John, Hackney ; St. Leonard, Shoreditch ; Hornsey ; the united parishes of St. Giles-in-the-Fields and St. George, Bloomsbury ; the united parishes of St. Andrew and Holborn ; St. George the Martyr ; St. Sepulchre ; S iffron-hill ; Hatton-garden ; Ely -rents ; Ely-place ; the Rolls ; Lincoln's-inn ; Furnival's-inn ; and Staple Inn. Of these only a part were disposed of yesterday, com prising the parishes of St. Sepulchre ; St. Mary, Fling ton ; St. Luke, Middlesex ; Hornsey ; St. Mary, St-he Newington ; St. John and St. James, Clerkentvell ; St. Andrew and St. George the Martyr. The others stand over for revision till to-morrow (this day ), and Thursday, except that of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, which has been fixed for revision in the district of Mile-end, on the 29th instant. In revising the list of the united parishes of St. James and St. John, Clerkenwell, one of the first claims which attracted the attention of the revising barrister (Mr. San dye) was that of a claimant as a lessee of premises, the occupant of which wonid have a right to vote as a resident householder in the borough of the Tower Hamlets. No objection had beets entered in the lists by the overseers to this claim, and many others of the like description. Mr. SANDYS said, that, on looking over the lists, he found that there was a considerable number of claimants of the same description—that was, of parties who claimed from property of various kinds, which gave a right of vot ing for the borough. He would, therefore, take that op portunity of stating, before he came to them all in succes sion, that he had no doubt whatever that all such claims were bad. No person who looked at the 25th section of the Reform Act would for a moment entertain a doubt on the subject. The 25th section was—" And be it enacted, that nottv:thatanding any thing herein before contained, no person shall be entitled to tote in the election of a knight or knights cf the shire to serve in any future Parliament ha respect of his estate or interest as a copyhol , !er, or customary tenant, or tenant in ancient demente, holding by copy of court-roll, or al such lessee or assignee, or as such tenant and occupier, ..ds aforesaid, in any house, warehouse, counting house, shop, or other building, or in any land occupied together with a house, warehouse, counting-house, shop, or other building, such house, warehouse, counting-house, shop, or other building being, either separately or jointly with the land so occupied therewith, of such value as would, according to the provisions hereinafter contained, confer on him, or any other person, the right of voting for any city or borough, whether he or any other person shall or shall not have actually acquired the right to vote for such city or borough, in respect thereof." The enactment in this clause (continued the Learned Gentle man) puts it beyond all doubt, that from any property which could give a right to vote for a city or borough, whether such right was claimed for the city or borough, or not, no person could acquire a claim for a county. The only doubt OD his mind was, whether, as it was not ob jected to by the overseers, or by any third party, he had a right tts strike it out of the lists, but clearly on the face of it the claim was bad. One of the overseers—We have made no objection to this claim, or to the others of the like nature, which are returned in our lists. Mr. SANnrs—l am aware of that, and that is the only cause of my doubt, whether not being objected to I am warranted by the Act in striking it out. The Overseer—Can it be wondered at that poor over seers sboalii make such a mistake, if it be one, when per sons win from their prefession should know better have also doubts on the subject? SANDYS—i shall hear with pleasure any thing that you or any other party may have to say in support of the claim, though I repeat that, according to the 25th section of the Act, the claim is a bad one. If the overseers, or any other party having a right to make the objection, bad entered one in due time, I should decide at once, and strike such claims out of the list. But my doubt is whether, under the 42d section of the Act, I have that power. The 42d section says—(Here the Learned Gentleman read that part of the clause which re• later to what the barrister shall do where no ob jection has been made)—" And every such barrister shall retain on the list of voters the names of all persons to whom no objection shall have been made by the overseers or tAll _an v liFire Rilitifluer 76 ge l 'tirte i t4t e ht", WPC, as it is for the guidance of the barrister in cases where ob jections have been made.) If he should be satisfied that this clause restricted him as to the power of striking out the name of a claimant to whom no objection had teen made, he would allow the names to stand, but otherwise he would strike them out. Objections of a similar ❑ature (hut not by the over seers) arose in some of the lists which came before Mr. Palk in the othrr Court. Mr. PALE made, in substance, the same remarks as those which we have given of his learned colleague. The cases were then adjourned for decision to Saturday, Nov. 3, at the sure place. TOWER HAMLETS ELECTION. DR. LUSHING T ON. Last night Dr. Lushingto❑ met the gentlemen of the va rious Local Committees formed to further the return of the Doctor as one of the representatives of this borough, at the White Hart Tavern, Mile-end•road. The meeting Was most numerous and highly respectable. S. I .II.LIORIBANKS, Esq. M.P., having Leen called to the chair, observed, that he was as large a shipowner as any in the metropolis, and he was not afraid of committing his interest to the care of Dr. Lushington.—(Haar.) Mr. STOCK proposed the first resolution, and impressed upon the minds of all reformers the great duty of using their utmost exertions to secure the election of Dr. Lushington. Mr. KING seconded the motion, which was adopted amidst cheering. Mr. Show proposed the second resolution. Mr. SWIFT seconded the motion, which was unani mously adopted. Dr. LUSHINGTON then addressed the meeting in expla nation of his political sentiments, and was loudly applaud ed. After which thanks were voted to the Chairßun, and the meeting adjourned. COLONEL LEICESTER STANHOPE. Last night the electors of the Tower Hamlets, residing in the parish of St. G orge in the East, Wapping, and precincts of the Tower and Minories, had been invited, by advertisement, to meet the friends of Col. Leicester Stan hope, at the National School-house, Old Gravel-lane, in consequence of which intimation by seven o'clock there was a large assemblage of electors. Altman. SCALES, Esq., took the Chair amidst acclamations. Colonel STANHOPE was then introduced by the Chair man to the Meeting. Colonel STANHOPE (from a table in the front of the pulpit) commenced by stating that be was more especially desirous to represent the Tower Hamlets, because he con• sidered it to be one of the most numerous and most civi lised boroughs in England. He had been made to under stand that there had been an objection raised to him in some quarters on account of his being a soldier, alleging that soldiers were no men of business. He would ask them if Frederick the Great was not a man of business? and he was a soldier. If Bonaparte was not a man of busi ness ? who dispensed the destinies of empires, and strayed the affairs of Europe ; and he was a soldier ; and even coming to the great General of their own country, however much they might be divided from him in principles or opi nions—the Duke of Wellington, if be was not a man of business?—(Cries of " No, no," accompanied with hisses —" You had better leave him out"—"Don't name him") — still be was a man of business—(from the crowd, " He did plenty for himself," and " He might be a soldier, but he was no statesman")—well, if they did not agree to the last example adduced, would they take Mr. Hume as an in►tance as a statesman ?—(Cries of " Yes, yes.") Then, said the worthy candidate, he was a soldier, and they must confess that he bad exhibited industry and close application of business habits for years, by which the country bad benefited, and which needed only to be named to be acknowledged by every one. The Candidate then proceeded to say that he was a friend to the Constitution, and a fi iend to the King, wbo had given them the Reform Bill.—(From the crowd, " Only because he could not help it.") He was a respecter of property in every de gree, even to the property the labouring man possessed in his capability to labour ; be was a supporter of ships, commerce, and colonies—(Cheers) —and he would urge the strictest economy in the expenditure of the state. The revenue of the country at present was, indirectly and di rectly, somewhere about 87 milions, and lie would endea vour to show how 27 inilllions might be saved. The present real expenditure of the country amounted to 52 millions, and it was his wish to bring it, not at once, but by degrees, to the same scale of expenditure as in 1792. There was no tax taken from his own pockets that he paid so cheerfully as the poor•rates ; because he felt that it ought to be the first impulse of every person to endeavour to obtain for every person three meals a day; but be objected to the poor laws, because he thought they increased the population and the poverty of the country ; be would have these laws revised if possible, the accomplishment of which, perhaps, might be attended with some difficulty, but there were other remedies more effectual ; namely, the abolishing of the Corn Laws, tithes—(Cheers)—and fee gathering in courts of law, which amounted to as much as tithes. He would have tithes reduced two millions annually—(" Take them away altogether")—nor would he have dissenters taxed to pay the established clergy of this country.—(Cheers.) The tithes of England and Ireland amounted to seven millions ; but he would re commend the clergy to be paid as they are paid in Scot land, where the duties where no where else better per formed ; and a saving would then be effected that would reduce the amount to four millions. Vestries he considered as village Parliaments, equally in want of Reform with the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) The late Bills, added to former corruptions, had only male a hodge-podge mat ter of the concern ; he would contend for the right of every one rated at 101. having the power to vote in the election of officers, and that the police should be placed under the control of those officers.—(Loud cheers ) He next noticed the operation of the registration regnla • lion, which, he said, defeated the intention of the excel nt Lord Grey to extend the franchise. There had been in the Tower Hamlets twenty-three thousand electors, but by circumstances of persons not paying up their rates and taxes at the day epecified, or neglecting to register them selves, that number had been reduced to ten thousand ; and those devils in black gowns, the barristers, who were appointed as the judges, had since set to work, and by other technical objections, were likely to reduce from that a quarter, so that there would not be left a constituency of more than 6,000 or 7,000. Lord Tenterden, who was, he believed, a Tory, had the appointment of those inspecting barristers; they would amount to 2,000, and each of them would have about 2001., so that the gross sum amounted to 200,000/. ; and this 200,000/. was to he paid by the people for depriving them of their franchise. He was convinced that a fair representation could never be obtained until vote by secret ballot was adopted. Castlereagh's Six Acts ought all to be repealed. He was for annual Parliaments ; but as the next resource, being the shortest period, be would do all he could to support triennial Parliaments. Flogging in the Army and Navy he had written against as a boy ; and he still retained the same sentiments, that secondary punishments would be preferable.—He likewi , e stated, in answer to a question from an elector, that he was of opinion it would be desir able to procure the repeal of imprisonment for debt. Mr. MORRIS, in rising to move the first resolution, purporting the fitness of Colonel Stanhope to be their candidate, made a clever speech on behalf of the Colorant. Mr. BURFORD seconded the motion. The resolution was put from the Chair, and carried unanimously. A Committee was appointed, and the uEu3l forms of meeting gone through, and the company dispersed quietly. The Worcestershire County Treasurer, in his report to the Magistrates, lately gave the pleasing intelli gence, for the first time, that there was a balance in hand, after all bills were paid, of 571. 14s. LAKE OF VITRIOL.— There is, in the island of Java, a volcano, called Mount Idienne, from which the Dutch East India Company have been often supplied with sulphur for the manufacture of gunpowder. At the foot of this volcano is a vast natural manufactory of that acid com monly called oil of vitriol, although it is there largely diluted with water. It is a lake about 1,200 French feet long; the water is warm, and of a greenish white colour, and charged with acid. The taste of this liquid is sour, pungent, and caustic ; it kills all the fish of a river into which it flows, cives violent cholics to those who drink it, and destroys all the vegetation on its banks.—Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopedia. It is already generally known that Mr. GALT, author of the Annals of the Parish, &c., about three months ago had a severe attack of paralysis, which excited considerable alarm in the minds of his numerous friends and admirers. Subsequently, he recovered so far as to be able to resume his literary avocations, although the effects of the stt ohs upon his limbs were such, as in a great mea sure to confine him to his apartment. We regret now to he obliged to add that, according to letters from London, about a fortnight ago, he had another attack of the disease, of so serious a description that his recovery is completely despaired of.—Scotsman. THE POWER OF SATlRE.—Severe as was the satire of Jumus, it produced no such effects as the bitter iambics which ARCHILOCHUS, stimulated by re- • . I I !_ • 7, - - BULE, who had accepted the hand of a wealthier lover; they did honour to the eenius of ARCHILOCHU3, by hang ing themselves.—E. 11. Barker on the Authorship of Junius's Letters (a book replete with interesting and cu rious literary anecdotes). In his Anthologia (1. iii, c. 25) we are told that three daughters of LYCHAMBES killed themselves in consequence of AnctinocHtts's satire. He was so fond of slander, that when he had no other person to abuse, he satirized himself. The satire of HarvoNnx is reported to have produced similar fatal results. JELIAN informs us that POLIAGRUS committed suicide in conse quence of his having been abused in a comedy. Well might PLATO advise those who are tender of their reputa tion, to avoid exasperating the poets. If any thing were wanting to sicken one of law quibbles, it would be supplied by the futile objec tions which are making, and appear to be in some in stances received, against registering votes under the Reform Act. MERTHYR.--The iron trade here is uncom monly bad. A great number of miners and colliers are out of work, or getting such very small wages that they are obliged to apply weekly for parochial relief. The Dow lais and Ebwvale works are, however, exceptions. At these works all are fully employed, in consequence of large American orders for railway iron. —Hereford Times. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 22. —The sales of cotton to-day are 250 Bahias, at Id. to ; SO Egyptians, 8 d. ; and 1,200 in American de scriptions, from 6,4 d. to SI NOVEL WOODCOCK TRAP.-011 Monday, the 15th inst., a remarkably fine woodcock was taken in the following extraordinary manner :—A young man, named TOWERS SEATLE, was angling in a brook in Lowick, near Ulverston, and, finding it necessary to shift his station, was swinging round his line to keep clear of some bushes, when suddenly a woodcock sprung, and the hook catching it by the wing the bird was fairly captured. Our informant describes it as one of the finest cocks he ever saw.—Lancaster Gazette. A PRUDENT RETREAT.—There were se veral English settlers of note in the various Prairies situ ated near the river Ohio (United States). Among them was Mr. HUNT, brother to the Member for Preston. Un• like his brother be had the misfortune to be dumb from his infancy, but a man of tremendous muscular power and a scientific boxer. Among the backwoodsmen the supe riority of the system of boxing over their ferocious method of gouging and biting was much disputed, and a trial with Mr. HUNT was very eagerly coveted by " the best men" among these worthies. One day a very famous man of this description, in passing near the cabin of Mr. Ilursx, perceived him in the act of ploughing in a neigh bouring field, and thereupon he got across the fence for the purpose of provoking a quarrel. As he advanced, it hap pened that some derangement in the tackle of his plough compelled HUNT to stop the team, and, being a man of a very passionate temper, he was seen to level one of the horses with a blow of his fist. Upon this the back woodsman hastily withdrew and recrossed the fence ; and from that time it was observed that nothing more was said upon the superiority of the gougers.—Monthly Magazine. On Monday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, as the Essex and Eclipse steam-vessels were proceeding from Gravesend to London, a boat containing four persons was run down by the former steamer off Dartford Creek, below Frith, as it was crossing the river from the Essex to the Kent shore, and the passengers were all immersed in the stream. The Essex immediately brought to, and the en gines were stopped, but, owing to their not having a boat in readiness, could render no material assistance. The Captain of the Eclipse, the sternmost vessel, instantly low ered his boat, and succeeded in saving two, while a collier's boat picked up a third in a most exhausted state, but the fourth sunk before aid arrived, and met with a watery grave. The boat also sunk. Yesterday forenoon a young female, fashion ably dressed, named SUSANNAH LISTER, whose parents reside in the Edgeware-road in great respectability, called at the house of a friend in East-street, Marylebone, and Irequested a little warm wat e r, as she wished to take some salts; the water was brought, and she mixed what was thought to be salts, and swalLiwed the draught ; the mo ment she had done so she pointed to the paper which had contained the drug, and her friend then perceived " Poison —oxalic acid"—marked upon it. She lost no time in procuring assistance ; a coach was called, and the sufferer was conveyed to the hospital, where the stomach-pump was immediately resorted to with success. After she had partially recovered she was carried home to her parents, who, on herring of the circuanstaupe, were greatly dis tressed. The following lines were found in her bosom when at the hospital:—" Dear Father and Mother,.--. RICHARD has proved false to me, aid I shall never be happy again—so adieu for ever. " SUSANNAH." COURT CIRCULAR. Their MAJESTIES entertained a select party at the Palace at Windsor on Sunday evening. M. LEA BERMUDEZ, the Spanish Minister, and the Belgian Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Fo reign-office. . . Despatches for Prince TALLEYRAND were brought by a messenger to the residence of the French Embassy in Hanover-square yesterday afternoon from Paris. The Attorney and Solicitor-Generals had an interview with Viscount GODERICH yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Duke of RICHMOND, accompanied by Viscount Auruoar and Mr. STANLEY, inspected the arrangements at the Post•offee on Monday evening. The party after wards dined together at the residence of the Noble Duke in Cavendish-square. Viscount GODERICH, and others of the Ministers, also dined with his Grace. Despatches were brought by a King's 'messenger on Monday to the Foreign-office, from Sir F. LAMB, our Ambassador at Vienna. It is rutnoured at the Clubs that the LORD CHANCELLOR is already occupied in framing his measure for abolishing the judicial and political functions at present c , mbined is the person of the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, and for not making that high officer dependent upon the changes of Ministry for the tenure of the high and re sponsible station in which he is placed. It will be re collected that, in the Noble and Learned Baron's last speech in the House of Lords, an intimation was made by him that the office of the first Equity Judge ought to be separated from that which the Lord Chancellor (as the politico-legal adviser of the Crown) is called npon to dis charge. The salary of the Chancellor has been fixed at 14,0001. per annum, and his Lordship offers that the office in respect to which the salary is so granted shall be held by two personq, but that the salary, without the slightest increase, shall be divided between them. Mr. VINES, the gentleman who has put in his claim for the " Dunmow Flitch of Bacon," the reward of conjugal fidelity, has met with some obstacle, offered by the steward, and is now about appealing to his legal ad viser upon the subject. It is said that the Chief Justice of the Ad miralty Court at Malta, whose period of survice has ex pired, is about to be recalled. _ _ _ Sir FRANCIS and Lady BURDETT gave an elegant dejeune to a select party, yesterday morning, at their residence in St. James's-place, on the occasion of the marriage of their eldest daughter to ROBERT OTWAY CAVE, Esq., M.P. Among the company were the Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBANS, the Dowager Marchioness of BurE, the Countess Dowager of GUILFORD and the Ladies NORTH, Lord and Lady FREDERICK and Miss BEA UCLERK, and Mrs. OTWAY CAVE, of Upper GM venor-sreet. At 2 o'clock the bride and bridegroom left town in a travelling chariot and four, for the seat of Mr. OTWAY CAVE, in Leicestershire. The Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBANS were present at the nuptials, which took place at S . . James's Church. _ A statue of LOUIS-PHILIPPE, in plaster, has just been placed in the grand vestibule of the Chamber of Deputies, in Paris. His MAJESTY is represented in the Royal robes, his bead crowned with a wreath of oak, with his right hand raised, and hisleft pointing to the following inscription :—" En presence de Dieu, je jure d'obsei ver fidelement la Charteconstitutionnelle." Lord LYTTLETON has resigned the Lieu tenant-Colonelcy of the Worcestershire Yeomanry, on ac count of indisposition. Lord HENLEY, the candidate for Middlesex, inherits the Barony of Henley of Chardstock from his father, MORTON, first Bunn HENLEY, in the Peerage of Ireland. His Lordship is related to Sir ROBERT PEEL, whose fourth sister is married to the Noble Baron, and during the existence of the Administration of which the Right Hon. Baronet was a leading Member, a Mastership in Chancery was obtained for Lord HENLEY, then Mr. EDEN. It was generally believed, on his accession to the title, that he would have resigned his office in Chancery, the emoluments of which are understood to amount to 4,0001. per annum. The late Lord HENLEY was raised to the Peerage for his diplomatic services, having been successively Minister to the Courts of Vienna, Dresden, Berlin, Copenhagen, Munich, Madrid, and Saxe Gotha.— The present Lord was formerly Member for the disfran chised borough of Fowey, but retired from Parliament in IS3O. He is favourably known as the author of a pam phlet on Church Reform. ELECTIONS.—We have received a letter from borough. The honourable gentleman will stand, on the popular interest, for the county of Tipperary, with every prospect, it is added, of success. Mr. WYSE presents himself to the electors of the city of Waterford, and, though furiously opposed by the O'Connellites, with a certainty, w..! understand, of being returned, —D Odin Express. We are requested to state that the Geogra phical and Biblical Annuals for 1833, beautifully coloured, and both elegantly and uniformly bound in Turkey Mo rocco, are published this day by Mr. BULL, Holles-street, Cavendish square. Agents for Scotland, Messrs. BELL and BRADFUTE ; and for Ireland, Mr. JOHN CUMMING, Dublin. The violence of the Tories is amusing. Co lonel TREVOR had his brigade, the staff of Carmarthen, under arms all day yesterday, lest the meeting of Dissenters should lead to riots. We should be glad to know who watched the gallant Colonel, for we believe he was full as riotously disposed as the respectable individuals he thus attempts to insult.— The Welshman. Miss SMITIISON left town yesterday morning for Paris, where she intends to remain during the winter; she will commence her campaign on the 10th of Novem. her, at the Opera, with a very select company. SHERI DAN KNOWLES and MACREADY are engaged—the latter at 1001. 'per week for a fortnight. TITHE CONVICTIONS IN KERRY.-We have received by express a communication from Tralee, announcing the trial and conviction, on Friday, of three persons charged with " conspiring to resist and obstruct the payment of tithes. Their names are GERALD O'CoN. NOR, JEREMIAH O'CONNOR, and JOSEPH M'CaETirv. Mr. O'CONNELL was engaged for the traversers, and deli vered a most brilliant and powerful speech to evidence, which occupied two hours. The Judge (MooRE) charged directly in favour of the prosecution. The Jury remained closeted about an hour and a half, when they returned a verdict of guilty. When our Correspondent forwarded his despatch, on Saturday, sentence bad not been pronounced. We shall publish a report tomorrow. This is the first tithe conviction obtained by the Whigs. Dublin Morning Register. In the evidence before the Committee on Dra matic Literature Captain FORBES states that at Covent- Garden Theatre they could not in general bring out a n, , w piece under an expense of 200/., and some cost them 2,0001. lie also stated that the number of persons de pendent upon Covent-Garden Theatre, directly and indi rectly, amounted to two thousand, one thousand being constantly employed, and that the average expense was between 1,1001. and 1,300/. per week, exclusive of tradesmen, taxes, rent, and remuneration to authors. He said that Covent-Garden Theatre could not be conducted for so small a sum as 50,0001. per annum, and the receipts last year were only 42,0001. DISPLAY.—CHESTERFIELD says, " Wear your learning like your watch, in a private pocket; and don't pull it out to show that you have one ; but if you are asked what o'clock it is—tell it." It is related of DERRICK, the poet, that he was so fond of parade and finery, that he always dressed in the extreme of fashion, keeping a footman who was dressed as superbly as himself. This footman always followed him in the streets, and he would cross a street several times at the same point, that the man might be seen to follow him. LIFE AT DERRYNANE.—A person lately come from Kerry communicates some interesting particu lars of the domestic repose of our great Irish giant. lie still keeps his fortress in the mountains, where he lives like a patriarch or a nrelion Prince, surrounded by his kindred of all ages and degrees of consanguinity. Fifty persons of both sexes meet around his plentiful board each day, exclusive of the countless retainers in the various departments of serving men and waiting women, dog boys, pipers, boatmen, runners, shulers, &c. &c. &c. What with the family and guests above stairs, and the tribes below, the Abbey is seldom beholding to fewer than a hundred inmates, who, inhaling " an eager and a biting air," some thousand feet above the level of the Atlantic, are every one of them fully qualified to perform their part in the allotted feast. A Ketry cow, p er client, is moderate store for such a garri•on, whose fare is diversified with the delicious mutton of those high regions, brown as venison, and redolent of the sweet heath, as often as they can catch a wether on the mountains. To number the flwoiethksthoefsamgleesoen' turkeys, and barn-door f ow l s , toget h er s, hares, rabbits, partrid ges , w ild d uc k s , and plovers, which yield up their happy lives to this per petual festival pro Bono publico, would be to lay a burden upon John Bull's credulity, which none but an eye-wit ness should presume to impose. O'CON NELL p ar t a kes freely in the manly sports and exercises of the mountains, and will return to the wordy strife with lungs repaired and strength recruited.—Morning Paper.

MAR- Esq., of Treworgey, in St. Clear, poisoned him sseultA l id'' ast week. He was in love with the dairymaid, who withstood all his importunities to become his wife. An inquest was held last night at 7 o'clock b e fore Mr. C. J. CARTTAR, at the Black Horse, Dept ford, on view of the body of a female child unknown. The Jury having returned from viewing the body, the following evidence was adduced :—CII4.IILES HENLON, of Lee, Kent, seaman, being sworn, says, " On Monday after noon I was coming along the Surrey canal ; and observed something floating on the water of the canal ; I pulled it out, and found it to contain the body of a female child ; there were two large stones, of the weight of six or seven pounds, between its legs; it was wrapped in flannel and completely sewn up. I know nothing whatever of the child."—Enwaan DOWNING. of Deptford, surgeon, be ing s worn, says—" I was called upon last night to see the deceased child, which I have since examined, and found the right shoulder fractured, and a contusion on the right side of the head. I examined the chest, and found the child was born alive ; the lungs and all the parts of the body appeared perfectly healthy, and there is no appearance to account for death. The age of the child was from two to five days. The body appeared to have been in the water from twelve to fourteen days." The Coroner said, as there was no direct evidence of the cause of the death of the unfortunate infant, he thought the best plan would be to adjourn the inquiry, and in the mean time to advertise the case in the daily papers. The jury retired for a short time, returned, and stated their determination to endeavour, if possible, to bring the perpetrators of this horrid crime l to justice, an d immediately afterwards a d j ourned until 7 o'clock on Tuesday next. LITERATURE. THE EAST INDIA SKETCH-BOOK: COMPRISING AN ACCOUNT OF THE PRESENT STATE 0/ SOCIETY IN CALCUTTA, BOMBAY, &C. TWO VOLS. POST OCTAVO.-(R. BENTLEY.) We are"glad to see a 8 Sketch-Book devoted to the illustration of Anglo-Asiatic life, of the pe culiar features of which, though so many fa milies among us are interested in the discussion, we know little. The human mind, especially the human mind in England, loves to cling to fallacies, provided they are pleasant to contem plate, and will too often resist any attempt to disabuse it, however pernicious the error may be. But truth is always beneficial even when unpalateable, and he is our best friend who forces us to receive it. Such a friend we hold the author of the present work to be, and the force which he employs to secure the reception of his wholesome facts is comprised in the originality and interest of his details, and in the charm of his style. An appointment in India, whether civil or military, is generally con sidered as a passport to independence—a sort of royal road to honour and riches ; and the young aspirant awakens to the delusion only when his health is sacrificed, and when it is too late to determine on a new scheme of life. " The India Sketch-Book," though its de scriptions of the golden East and the Hindos- Lance legends, included in its pages, are as gorgeous and as picturesque as the subjects demand, is, nevertheless, mainly characterized by a desire to give a just picture of what a person may expect who ventures to India for worldly benefit ; and the representation is not confined to the inci dents which a male adventurer in the service must undergo, but touches on a far more deli cate subject, namely, the matrimonial chances of those young ladies who go thither, as mercantile consignments, to be disposed of for life to th highest bidder. When the author is occasionally jocose, as he is apt to be, on the latter subject, we, for our part, are inclined to hail his merri ment as a welcome relief in the consideration of that which, in too many of its bearings, would prompt reflections of pain and humiliation, and which is too ofien . foll owed by fatal consequences. We have indicated only one or two of the characteristics of these very various, entertaining, and, let us add, instructive volumes ; but our limits will not admit of anything like competent analysis. It might, indeed, have been wished that the author had been less trancliant in some of his satire, and that he had steered clearer of personalities. These, however, may give greater currency to his book ; if so, what is good in it will have a wider range of operation, for the sake of which the reader may be inclined to forgive the trespass. The following observations, from the second volume, are striking, and, we doubt not, just : " I dare say you have forgotten, in the comfort of your own house and establishment, all the little mortifieations and annoyances of your march to . Travelling in any part of the world is a sore lightener of the purse. Apropos !—I yesterday saw a caricature entitled Phlebo tomists ;—a stage-coachman, guard, bowing waiter, court- Hying chambermaid, and scraping " Boots," with a porter two nthprs of merciless operators on an unfortunate traveller. But, alas! what are these musquitoes to the leeches of an In dian march ?—with all these unceasing demands, a journey of two hundred and fifty miles might be easily accom plished for six or seven guineas ; whereas, ten times that sum would not cover the expenses of your march, com mencing with your butler's demands for ropes, gunnies, packing.caees, ;—your cook's for store of provender; advance to servants, bullock-men, coolies, bearers, las cars, Sec. ;—impositions of ditto, with which the poor traveller is compelled to comply, at the hazard of being left in the lurch by a general desertion. This is indeed enough to produce a hwmort hags. However, I hope, as you seem somforiably settlesl, some time will elapse before you are again exposed to this species of bleeding. " The longer you remain in India, and the more you see of Anglo-Asiatics, the more just will you find one of your early observations to me, that " the people seem to be acting set parts." Men of education must he scarce amongst those whose lives, from fifteen years of age, have been spent in this country. Men of sense are st , so rare, because, in obeying orders, there is no room left for the exercise of the reason or judgment, and a soldier is a mere passive machine. Men of elegant and relined manners are still more rare, because these can be acquired only by as • sociating with elegant and refined people; and in the first class of society in India such are not to be found, sine: the highest situations are open, by progressive promotion, to persons of whatever birth, education, or intellect. And as to men of fashion or ton ! Yet each of these classes of character finds would-be representatives in abundance, and men of a little tact contrive to pass for what they would seem, among people not very conversant with the matter of exhibition. One of the most atrocious bunglers at this would-be system, is our Colonel Commandant, for of all as sumptions that the spirit of imitation could have put into his head, that of dignity, consequence, or gentility, by such an underbred, uneducated being, is the most ridicu lous. He still talks of going home, but, unless driven by ill health, I am confident he never will, for he must have a most especial dread of the levelling na ture and effects of English society, in which a laced coat and peons, and chober-dars, would hardly sustain him in what he might consider his proper grade, but where, divested of these, he must sink at once to the very humble place which I would assign him. With all his failings, I should scarcely like to risk a change. In these days so much encouragement is given to the vilest underhand reports of commanding officers, that one's appointment or even commission is liable to be put in jeopardy by the mere ipse dixit of one of them. In this respect is a safe man ; for though he will not scruple in obtaining information by the most despicable means, he seems to seek it only for his own priva t e grati fication ; I have never known an instance of his making any injurious secret statement to head-quarters, or indeed of his taking any unfair advantage to get people into trou ble. The --tee mode of procedure in this way is the most disgraceful I ever heard of; but to every honourable feeling and every upright principle, the officer at the head of the force is so notoriously a stranger, that all comment on his baseness would be but an echo of every body's opi nions. Indeed, the whole system of army discipline is becoming daily more and more galling to every honest and independent mind. " I am indeed sorry to hear that the climate is already beginning to affect your energies ; marvel not, therefore, that my poor addlepate is reduced to a state of Boeotian stupidity. I never passed so unprofitable a month in my life as the last. No regular reading, but flying from book to book, and lounging and sauntering about the house, my best employment during the fifteen hours of daylight being a romp with the children, and the heat renders even that almost a painful exertion both to them and toe. A steady, strong, and blazing hot land-wind, that would raise the thermometer twenty degrees above this year's average in exposed situations, would not be half so oppressive as the close, coast-like weather of this season. My fear is, that our monsoon may be a little late, as notwithstanding fre quent thunder-showers and squalls, I do not perceive any of the usual symptoms of an approaching fall of heavy and continued rains. It requires a little deluge to cool the hissing earth, and clear the steamy atmosphere. " On looking to your letter, I perceive the leading married au rl gr ß iae r rd i Brigadier-General ensign.s- e fe. self-satisfied, It r if a s l fit eh dae,t such article to be the prodigy of a married cadet . Enviable man ! What a prospect lies before him ! the vista rank of to the recent arrange age terminating e fseventy - two, ments, and the foreground of the perspective holding out the cheering view of ten years' enjoyment of in a prospect would breuk her bean; but the providence that twheeree e n t s t v h o e , a x n hi a la to r m atin le g ss li fi fe ip o p f an a t, tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, supplies the capacity of endurance according to the infliction of the burden. You see, the threatened reduction in numbers has taken place, so that we swarm with supernumeraries, and }et every fresh ship pours out a flock of cadets, to swell the list of sufferers. I think all ensigns of any respecta bility of family, connection, or education, would be vase in returning home, for there is no pursuit to which they could devote themselves as gentlemen, in which they would not have attained greater advantages at the end of twenty-five or thirty years, than they have any pros pect of attaining by continuing in this service. Few will be better off than myself, when as far advanced in their probation, and I hourly regret having wasted my life so unprofitably. Notwithstanding the many and thankfully acknowledged blessings with whic h I am surrounded, I cannot help feeling a most ardent longing to exchange the luxuries of the East for the simplest fare and most homely establishment of rusti cated gentility in happy England, and lilac ince lachryma , for the conviction that I could scarcely have failed to re alise so moderate a desire by twenty-two years of appro' ticeship to any gentlemanly calling at home, adds a feellog of remorse to the mortification of disappointment." ANALYSIS OF THE ENGLISH, SCOTCH, AND MO ACTS OF PARLIAMENT, FOR AMENDING THE REPRESENTATION OF THE UNITE D KINGDOM, 6.C. BY JOHN GORTON. LONDON, 1832. Mr. Gorton is already known to the public se editor of the New Topographical and Biography cal Dictionaries. The book before us is not less remarkable for the display of pains and care which the author must have taken 01 compiling it than those to which we have re' ferrgd. Besides distinct analyses of the three Reform Acts, it contains alphabetical minutia' ries of the counties and boroughs represented , with the division, limits, and population, nuts' her of ten-pound houses, &c., appertaining to each. As a work of reference for persons villa wish to have at one view the leading f ea t ur es el , the three Acts presented to them, this will b° found a very useful and cheap book. Vire would only observe that the idea of that part e the work which gives a summary of the Boon' daries Bill, with the number of members re turned by each borough or city, appears to b ° taken from Griffiths's Sixpenny Electoral Guide' FINE ARTS. LANDSCAPE ILLUSTRATIONS TO TO WA VERLE Y NOVELS. PARTS 6 AND The last of these two numbers has, in addl . Lion to five excellent engravings, the recommen‘ dation of an autograph letter from Sir Wait e Scott, speaking in terms of deserved praise Cf the plan of the work and its execution. Til e work is indeed an attractive one, and we ar e pleased to hear is generally liked. The be ss portions of its engravings are decidedly I ts female portraits, which convey a very lively id es of the originals as we find them drawn in 0° Scotch Novels. Diana Vernon, in particuls 6 is admirable ; she is the true and veritable heroine of Rob Roy. THE ANNUALS. 1V IV YEAR'S GIFT for 1833.
