!though the lists will cuse at two )'clock to-morrow
(Thursday), it is expected that a large total will be made
ip. The feeling, however, is positive, that unl-ss the
.errns which Vq3 Cha.lcellor of the Exchequer is prepared
to accept are more liberal than would have been con-
templated at any less speculative moment, tie negotia-
ion will not succeed. Although the only list pr,sented

;wily all the personsof it.fLienee in Lon. on who are

A LEGAL WAY OF GETTING OVER A LEGAL DIFFI-
CULTY. —John HarVins, a "mock auctioner" from Park
vie, was charged :It the policereour, Liv,rpool, on
Tuesday, with swindl:tig John Stuart, ship varkinter, a
" raw Scotchman," who certainly had not &splayed the
ational characteri4tic of being " canny." It aopeared
.oat he had been induced by the prisoner and his " sweet-
-oer:." to purchase a silver watch for 11., aft?rward4 to
Achango it for " a bt-tter one, price 31 105.," and sub,
qui-ntly to change ever the latter for a " regul ,r bar-
• ,tin" in the shade of "a p attoit lev,r gold watch (j veiled
i i eight bile-) and chain, for 71. 10s., worth 151. 1" The

risoner told him that be would guarantee the watch,
d that he might take it to any respectahle shop in
town, and if it were not Ivtrrth what he- paid for it he
,nould have his money back again. The coniplainant's
v torney admitted that, si nee the prisoner had been in
custody, be had offt-red to refund the inon-.1, but that
vas not altogether what hi s client wanted. Mr. Syrid,
,awnbrOlter and jeweller, of Park-!aue, said that the
chain was " brass," and that the intrinsic value of the
pretended gold watch was &55., but as the outside case
vas partly gold it might be worth 755. to the prosecutor.
The prisoner's attorney i.igeniously argued that his client
:I:.d not guaranteed both watch and chain, and as he had
undertaken., at the time of sale, to te•und the money
ease the watch did not turn out to he what it was war-
-anted, there was no legal offence on the part of the pr;-
,oner. As there : tppeared to be some doubt as to the
rE,cise terms on which the watch was purchased—thou,:!,
here was none as to the fraud that had been committed

DEATH OF RENTe ALIVA.—One of those men whose
fate it is to pass as silently through this We as it tb y
were not living has, just . departed from amongst u..,
R6n4 Allyn, the ingenious author of tl e "Anti-Spelling
Book," "The Frejnch Language its own Teacher," aid
The Young Lad;tes First French 130 tk," died on. We d-
eesday last, of a sudden attack of apoplexy. rt was in-
stantaneous; the shock and death cattle together. Thus,
without any wanting, a man full of florid health and
-trength, whom w e had spent some delightful hours with
three days before, was extinguished in one short moment
of time. This abl e man was endowed with one of the
most original minds of the present century; and althong h
his especial calling eas the modest one of teacher of the
language, he had few living equals in that sly
aod. subtle !ogle wL ich he loved to indulge in. He was
perfect master of politics. No inaa studied .them more I
closely. • Various pamphlets published by him at dif-
ferent periods dui ng the several Agitations for le
form, and among others his jocose expostulation ea'.
the great Minisnter, recently deceased, tilled
," Sir
Robert reel, the greatest Rsdical in England," gave
manifest proofs of his clear and vigorous mind. Aliva
came to England in the year 1820. and continued for
:35 years in the new land of his adoption. With the
single exception of An: abal Marcel, he was hyond
comparison the first man in his profession as a preceo-
t„ar, though has great abilities were obscured by his ee-
ceutricity and want of worldly manner. His peculiarities
were his great bane, and prevented him from obtaining
that popWarity which would otherwise hive been due to
his ~,Thrth. But they did not interfere with the interest
Melt fzr him by his needs who knew him it timately.
l'hey never forsook him ; they sustained him in his
troll!) lea, consoled him in his se-1.1%m5, and stood by him
till th e last. And it was well they did ; for otherwise
his pre carious profession would have been too afflictive,
even for his philosophy, his income not having averaged
251. a• year for the last 20 years. In one year it sank
to 81. Tried in this manner, his stout heart—the world
knowS well the bravery of the French heart now—
never yielded to adverse fortune. He lolly relied on
ilium: Ste success, and his last admirable work, published
only r few months ago, had at length brought this sne-
imthin his reach. But it hss been otherwise de.
