REVIEW OF LITERATURE.

JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND THE ARTS.
Account of the Life and Writing., of Baron 6nruton de
Murrain, F.R.S. Member of the Institut of kunce,
4'c. 417.—8 y B. Granville, M.D. 4r 4-c.
This Memoir appeared in the last Number of the
Journal of Science and the Arts, which is published
quarterly, under the auspices of the Royal Institution
of Great Britain; and has also been printed in a sepa-
rate form. That such a paper should have found its
way into a work emanating from An establishment
which boasts for its Patrons almost all the exalted per-
sonages in the Kingdom, must excite no small degree
of scrprize, when the.-apiri# in which it is written is
carefitlly considered. It is a brief life of Guyton de
Morvean, mai an elaborale euloginm npon his virtues.
lie was born, according to his biographer, at Dijon,
in January, 1737, admitted, at an early age, a law
student in that univzrsity, and at the age of went\--
four, becante Advocate-Genend of the Parliament.—
Chance soon after directed him to the study of chemis-
try, of which science be afterwards bccume a distill-
wished professor. After having taken an active part
in the worst days of the Revolution, and risen to the
highest honours, under Mumaparte, that a man of
science ciottid hope Eir, he retired from public life, and
died at Dijon, in December, 18 iS.
At the close of the memoir, his biegrapher gives the
following rapid sketch of his varied pursuits, which
may suffice to inform nut readers of all that is neces-
sary, with respect to the man, for it is not with the
succession of events Guyton's life that we have to
do, or his valuable discoveries its that science of which
he was so fond; it is to certain expressions of Dr.
Granville which this t•-act contains, that our attention
has been more particul rlly drawn:—
" No one ever csertet with gyeaterassiduits, dot—

fairly be supposed to have toad no time do any other occupa-

THE MURDERS AT PENDLETON.

---
Much diversity of opinion exists rcnpecting the innocence ot. guilt
of Holder. atzti the three Ashcrofts. Ily letters and arrivals from Man-
eliestsr we are informed that about nine other persons have been taken
up there and at other places, charged with being concerned in the
above murders and robbery ; and that part of th:: stolen property has
been inund in the posaession of hollie of It is said that the
clergymen, Messrs, Howley, Morland, and Hemmen, arc much dirt-
tresied, and that they believe them innocent. Ou the day previous to
the execution, they requested to be alone in the Chapel of the Castle,
which was pretended to he acceded to ; hit, the gaoler overheard
them there request each-other to con Ens if thee knew ary thing of the
murder ; they severally denied it, and prayed God to make manifest
their innocence at a future day. In a case of this kind, ought not
the Sheriff to have power to respite the execution until the matter is
more fully investihmted by the Secretary of State and the Privy Colin.

We think it right to add, as it may tend to relieve the public mind,
that, notwithstanding their continued asseveration; of innocence, there

ANECDOTE.—As many opulent land owners have
most liberally reduced their rents, it may not be un-
interesting to record a fact of the late venerable and
Rev. John Parkherst, author of the Lexicons, who
inherited considerable estates in Northamptonshire and
Surrey, as an instance of the high sense he enter-
tained of strict justice, and the steady resolution with
which he practised it on all occasions :---One of his
tenants filling behind hand in the payment of his rent,
which was 5001. per annum, it was represented to his
landlord that it was owing to his being over-rented.—
This being believed to be the case, a new valuation
was made: it was then agreed that for the future the
rent should'. not he more than 4301. Justly inferring,
moreover, that if the farm was then too dear, it must
necessarily have been always too dear: unasked, and
of his own accord, he immediately struck off 501. from
the commencement of the lease, and instantly refunded
all that he had received more than 4501. per annum.
Some curiosity has been expressed to know why the
king of Prussia assumed the name of Count Ruppin,
during his travels. Ruppin is a town in the middle
Mark of Brandenburg, and 32 miles from Berlin. The
Counts of Ruppin thruterly held it as a lief of the Mar
wares of Brandtmburg. But, in the be of the
16th century, rime lief having Leconte vacant by Cu
death of Wichmann, Count of Lindau, Joachim I.
Elector of Brandenburg, annexed the fief ta.the Mark.

SATURDAY'S POLICE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

THE RANK.—Mr. J. Hoare a respectablostrader of Liyerpool, at.
tended at the Mansion House to make a complaint against a city 011.
cer named Joseph Martin, under circumstances of lunch itnportsa'e
to the public.
Mr. H. stated, that a few days since he had gone to the Bank for the
purpose of ascertaining the validity of a a note. The clerk, to whom
he presented it for inspection pr matinee(' it a forgery. Ile, Mr. H.
desired to look at it, and concluding that he could trace it to those
from whom he received it put it into his pocket. was immediately
desired by the clerk to give it up. but refusing to comply, he was
collared. Alarmed at this outrage, he demanded to know what offence
he had committed to be thus seized, and entreated that the assistance
of an officer. might be procured ? The reply was, that peremptory
orders was given, how to act on such occasions, and the presence of an
officer was at all necessary. He next requested, that Mr. Kaye the
Bank solicitor, might be sent for, but this was not complied with.
His last resource was, a proposal that a gentleman of respeatability,
would give his bond for tool. in default of his own appearance and the
production of the 21. note on the following morning. This applica-
tion was equally unsuccessful. and at length Martin was called is he
search him. Ile put his hands per force into his, complainant's,
pockets. and took from him the 21. note. Previous to this outrage
he was detained more than one hour in custody.
The Lord Mayor strongly censured the conduct of the officer.
Martin, and also of the Bank,and assured Mr. 11. thatif he brought
an action against Martin, although he was an officer of his own, he
he would not protect bins.

Letters received on Saturday from Pernambuco state
that an insurrection had broken out at Paraiby, about
30 leagues to the north of that place. It was reported
that a foreign vessel had arrived at Parailv, with mi-

mediately paid for in specie by the Insurgents.

British ships have been captured at Valparaiso.

from Amelia Island of the 6th of August, that on the night
before, about eleven restock, the Spaniards began to storm

LONDON :

MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1817.

THE Continental papers received in the course of the
week are as barren of intelligence of any interest or
importance as were those of the preceding.. Indeed the
present pacific state of Europe affords little opportunity
to the Journals of the day, for presenting any thing
either to their own countrymen or to their neighbours
worthy of attention, or consideration. This dearth
in some instances is supplied by rumours and con-
jectures ; as has been the case here for some days, a
serious misunderstanding having been asserted to have

arisen between this country and Russia, on the sub-
ject of Spain anti her Colonies; some passa!_v2s lately
given in tke Courier were adduced as containing evi-
dence of the fact ; that Paper, however, yesterday even-
-17: denied the existence of this misunder-
stinding, and pronounced the speculations founded
upon the report of it to be unfounded. Neither does the
rumoured tnisunderstanding between the British and
American Commissioners for running the boundary line,
appear to have had any better grounds, as a refutation
of the statement is made in a demi-official form in one
Beenn parser received :11tc*,1i; the w.:els.

ROYAL VISIT TO BATH.

BATH, Nov. 3.—The Queen and the Princess Eli.
zabetli, attended by a numerous retinue, arrived at five
o'clock this evening, et the spacious and elegant houses
in Sydney-place, prepared fiir their reception. It is
impossible to describe the scene of bustle and confusion
which this town presented from an early hour this
morning. A relay of horses from York-house, the
post-boys attired in most superb dresses, proceeded to
ltotfurd to conduct the Royal Visitors to their destina-
tion. The road from the city to that town was
crowded with people of every description, since 10
o'clock this morning, and flags might be seen flying in
every direction. Preparations having been made for a
general illumination, the whole city now presents a
blaze of light. Great Pulteny-street, at the end of
which is her Majesty's residence, surpasses all the rest
in brilliancy. The most judicious arrangements of
the police having been made, to prevent any accident
titan the pressure of the crowd, and to ensure tho
proper respect and decorum due to the illustrious visit-
ors. A large party of the censtables having been sta-
tioned in the vicinity of the 'loyal residence, dressed
in scarlet and blue, and gold lace. Detachments
of the 38th regiment mid 15th dragoons are also on
duty.

At a quarter before six o'clock, his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Clarence arrived, and afterwards
c:ined with his Royal Mother and Sister.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

fereace yesterday a different system had been adopted—the
table was removed --the se.as of the Lords were elevated
step—and the Cemmons mere kept outside the bar. tic had
felt it his duty to take the earliest opportunity of taking
notice of that circumstance.
Mr. lintsslTTAtur had also remarked the deviation from
the usual custom, but was inclined to think it arose from
accidental causes; he was of opinion it would be as sell to
allow the matter to rest as it at pre>ent was, and he had no
doubt hut they would find things in the usual state in the
next conference.

The !WE.% KEN thought the subject had been properly no-
ticed ; and if it was accid-mtal, it would at least be proper
to call the attention of the Lords to the accident. The Paint-
ed Chamber wus the property of the Lords; the corgi rences
were always held there; and it would not be improper to
send a message to their Lordships, requesting that the same
accommodation might in future be aflOrded to the 01111014 MS
at conferences as had been usual on former occasions.
After some further observations fcom Mr. W. SMITH and
Mr. W. WsNN E, the better Gentleman submitted a motion
founded on this sougestion.—Agreed to.
The several Standing Orders were, as usual, renewed.
It was ordered that no petition for a private Bill should be
received after the I-Ith day of February next, or any private
Bill read a first time after the Ist day of March next.
On the motion of Air. NSITT.ART, it was ordered that the
House, at its rising, should adjourn to Friday.
A Petition was presented from Horace Twiss, Esq. com-
plaining 01 the undue election of W. T. Money, Esq. as mem-
ber to serve in Parliament for Winton Basset.—The peti-
tion was ordered to be taken into consideration to-morrow
fortnight.

The Lonn CHANCELLOR read to their Lordships the
Answer which his Royal Highness the Prince Regent was
graciously pleased to make to the Address presented to hi ii
on the outrage offered to his Royal Highness on his return
from opening the Session of Parliament. It stated--" That
the additional proof of duty and feeling conveyed in the Ad-
dress unanimously voted by both Houses of Parliament on
chat occasion, was to him highly gratifying; that, relying on
the loyalty of the great mass of his Majesty's subjects, he had
nothing to regret but the occurrence of such a violation of
the laws, and that he should direct the best legal means fiir
bringing to justice and to punishment the person, or persons,
who had committed an offence so injurious to the interests
and character of the nation at large,"

KING'S THEATRE.

The musical world was highly entertained at this
theatre on Saturday by the representation of Le nozzi di
Figaro, or the wedding of Figaro. The music by Mo-
zart is a very splendid composition, and developes a
power and a variety of imagination, seldom equalled.—
The opera was uncommonly well supported. It incur-
ponitcxl the whole strength of the company—Madame
Fodor personated the Countess, Madame Camporese .Su-
sauna, and, although in every scene where they appeared
they excited great applause, they literally enraptured
the audience in the beautiful duetto, Scrivi, scrivi. It
was encored, much to our gratification. :Madame PALTA
was the Page. This charming actress becomes every
character. Signor A NIB ROG ETTI made his first appearance
on the stage as the Count. His figure is very manly,
his voice is an excellent counter-tenor. He was received
throughout with approbation, and his ductto with Ma-
dame Ca M PORESE, Crude!! perche fitiora,was deservedly
encored. On the whole, the opera presented no ordinary
display of talent and science It was truly a superior
perthrmance. There was a divertisement incidental to
the second act, in which Monsieur and Madame If APTI s-r E
and Milanie danced with remarkable grace and anima-
tion. The whole concluded with the ballet of La partie
tie chasse d'Henri Quake. The house was crowded.—
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester attended, and
after the opera saluted the audience in the most conde-
scending manner.

You said that yon had no vindictive feeling against these men ?
No ; only fur the ends of public justice.—Yon know that if
they had sworn true, yon would have been hanged ? I lay uo
blame whatever to their charge, but only to the conspirators,
who seduced theist.

You say you have no vindictive feeling. Pray do you feel
any interest in the event of this cause? Not the slightest; ex
sew that it may not go abroad to the world that that man did
not perjure himself: and that the allegation against me was
true. I hive uo other motive ; and indeed if that fellow were
to be punished now, I should rather he went abroad than he
