however, was for the Irish harp, and in this respect he was
soon gratified through the exertions of Dr. 111‘Donnell, who
had been forcibly struck by his extraordinary genius, and
who interested the Irish Harp Society in his behalf. Hs was
consequently placed under the care of Arthur O'Neill, el o

BOROUGH OF LAMBETH.
(Before Mr. TURNER.)
Robert Haggart's claim was disallowed by the barrister,
on the ground that his name had been inserted in the books
after the publication of the rates by the Magistrates, which
the overseers conceived they were empowered to do under
the Act of George 11., and by a late order of the Poor-law
Commissioners.
Mr. TURNER, however, held that the Act referred to
gave the overseers no authority to substitute one name for
another after the publication of the rate by the magistrates
and therefore disallowed the claim.
The Overseers said that the removals were so numerous
after the rate bad been signed, that, unless they were al-
lowed to make alterations the rates could not be collected.

clan confessed that he had improvvisated the verses he
professed to supply in continuation."
" Respectability,' is a tale told with considerable
cleverness. The sketch is strictly true to life. The
" Life of Lord Clive," is a discriminating notice of a
work lately published under that title. " The King's
Fool," is a poem too long by some -dozen stanzas or
more. The opening portion is the best. " The Rock.
ite," is A talc penned in P. style resembling flame of
13anim's shorter Irish sketches. The " Verdict of a
Nation," is as dull tis a Lord Mayor's speech when re-
turning thanks before a Cabinet Minister on the tith of
November. The " Remembrances of a Monthly
Nurse," is interesting, but rather too close an imita-
tion of Mr. Warren's admirable " Physician's Diary,''
in Blackwoods Magazine.

COURT OF ALDERMEN•

A Court of Aldermen was held on Saturday, for the de"

of Sir Pcter Laurie, took their seats within the bar of the
Court.

new Poor Law Bill, lie should beg to make a reference ;0
the City Solicitor on the sulijoet, The Poor Law Corn.
missioners had ordered that no Magistrate should sign 11/_
order for any rate for the relief of the poor except ieeor,
ing to certain forms. As any error might lead to misehlel
he suggested the propriety of immediate examination late
the Act, and moved accordingly that the question he re"
ferred.
Alderman Ilurzant.Es approved of the idea of referring 14

motion of such importance to the City Solicitor.

The matter was then referred to the City Solicitor.
the

be elected for life, and be and continue Justicrs of the
Peace, subject to removal on bankruptcy, Ste. ; that she
Aldermen have a pecuniary qualification, hnd that they

Alderman WINCHESTER moved a vote of thanks to the
late Sheriffs for their great exertions during the past year,
particularly for the improvements nude them in the gaol 01

The LORD MAYOR (elect) said that. nothing gave bill;
more satislae.sion than the office of seconding the vote 0"
thanks to gentlemen who had performed their duties to
such perfection.
After a few words from Alderman COPELAND, the vote
of thanks was unanimously agreed to.—Adjourned.

Author of "Travels to St. Petersburgh," &e.
" To one who purposes to visit the German Spas, Dr. Gran.
ville's book is as necessary as Isis portmanteau, or his travelling
bag, or his purse to pay his way. It informs him upon every
point on which he is likely to seek intelligence—the quality of
every spring, its uses and effects, the constitutions or diseases it
will aid or prejudice, the character of the town in which it is si-
tuate, the kind of company to be met with, the manners and
charges of the attendants, ss ith a thousand other particulars most
important to the traveller. Lastly, it sparkles with amusing anec-
dotes, and wherever a capital graphic cut will serve to assist de-
scription of site and scenery, it is introduced, and adds no small
merit or utility to the performance."—Bath Herald.

Mr. O'Connell is indefatigable in his labours for
Ireland. The short recess which he has been able to ob-
tain from his Parliamentary duties has been, we under-
stand, employed in the active preparation of a work upon
the past and present state of this country. The book,
which from the mere fact of his authorship, will be uni-
versally read, and is, therefore, calculated to be universally
useful, will appear before the meeting of Parliament, and
will, we believe, be called Memoirs of Ireland.—lrish
Paper.

On Saturday morning, on opening Breadsall church
to prepare it for public worship on the following day, it was
found that the roof of the building had fallen in, smashing
to pieces the pews, pulpit, &c., beneath it. The roof had
been newly put up within seven years, but in a most unwork-
manlike mannor. The principal cross-beam which supported
the weight of the ether beams, the giving way of which
caused the accident, was only composed of Scotch fir. Most
providentially the accident happened en a week-day, or the
loss of life in this crowded parish might have bee 3 dreadful.

NVESTMINISTER REGISTRATION•

This morning at ten o'clock, Messrs. MYLNE and CRAI6I
the Barristers appointed to revise the, lists for the City an
Liberties of Westminster, opened 'their respective courts;
It was then arranged that Mr.. Mylne should take t a
parishes of St. Anne's, Clement Danes, St. George's, 1,1
St. James's ; and Mr. Craig, St. John the Evangelist, 1'
Margaret's, St. Martin's, St. Mary-le-Strand, St. Paul:
Covent-garden, and the Precinct of the Savoy. The cholt:
and objections are said to amount to between 500 and Nu'
Mr. Score attends as agent for the Tories ; and Mr. Trott
and Mr. Le Breton for the Reformers. The Learned Bar
risters directed that the rate-books, from July 1856 to July
1837, should be produced from the different parishes, with
the view to save time in considering objections under the
head of being or not being rated ; and also that objectors
to votes should either attend in person to substantiate the
tr
objecttons, or give a sufficient written authority to t'D a
agents todo so. In cases of residence within seven miles'
if an objection was made in one day, the parties objected
to would have until the subsequent day, in order to wow
them to meet the objections.
Mr. MYLNE had revised the parish of St. Anne's 21,ta
early hour ; and Mr. CRAIG was proceeding wit's the Pre-
cinct of the Savoy, when our Reporter left.

INSOLVENT COURT—M:3as DO•)

William Thomas Furmage, whose case was before tha
Court sometime ago, came up for adjudication.
The insolvent, a young man, had been a baker at Nor'
wood, and was entitled to considerable property, more 00
sufficient to pay his debts ; his case stood over t% eerr
der information, so that the property might be nake:le
able. He now came up.
Mr. Woodroffe appeared on the part of a crdditor, °I?
opposed on fhe former boning, and said he was satisfied.
The insolvent had property which would pray his creditors
40s. in the pound ; he had no occasion to, be in prison.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said, if the creditors were b
satisfied he was. He perceived from the notes taken
.1..
Mr. Commissioner Bowen, on the farmer hearing, that tua
insolvent was an obstinate and dishonest man.
The insolvent was discharged, having sojourned Om°
months in " durance vile."

THE GREAT SIR EDWARD COKE.--..17r. Col-
burn, of Great 'Marlborough-street, has just published a
life of this distinguished person, from the pen of Cuthber
Johnson, Esq., the barrister. Not only as a lawyer, but
as an author, awl an unflinching patriot during a most
troubled period of our history, the character of Coke offers
great attractions to the biographer. Mr. Johnson has
done the great lawyer's memory ample justice, wit-bout
overlooking his manifold defects, most of which, however,
are rather to be ascribed to the character of the age than
to the disposition of the man. The notices of Coke's cele-
brated contemporaries give great variety and interest to
the work ; and from the numerous important public
questions and trvnsactions which are necessarily discussed
it rimy be regarded not merely as a biography of the re-
nowned Chief Justice, but as a valuable history of the time
in which lie lived.

We have heard it stated that the princely fortune of
the Duke of Buccleuch is about to receive an augmentation of
3,0001. a-year, by the leases which have been recently taken of
his Grace's properties in the parishes of Sanquhar and Kirk-
council in this county. The climate of the district in which
these properties are situated is cold and damp—several of the
farms, however, are susceptible of considerable improvement—
and the whole, by means of a judicious management, it is
to bc hoped, wil remunerate their respective tenants. —Dum-

Among the objects of antiquity lately brought to
France by M. Minaut, the French Consul in Egypt, was the
table of Abydos, a monument unique in its kind, displaying a
chronological series of the predecessors of Sesortris. This'
table has been bought by an English gentleman for 14,200 fr.,
and would prove a valuable acquisition to our National Museum.
The Paris papers complain loudly of the neglect shown by the

ANADA AND THE REFORMERS OF EDIN-
BURGH.—At a preliminary meeting of a number of the Re-
formers of this city, held in the Waterloo Hotel last night,
W. D. Gillon, Esq , M. P., in the chair, it was moved by Mr.
W. Tait, and seconded by Councillor Meudell, that a public
meeting be called for an early day, for the purpose of petition-
ing the Legislature that the war with our Canadian fellow-
subjects be prosecuted no farther. Dr. Browne, seconded by
Mr. R: W. Jamieson, moved for delay, until farther informa-
tion be obtained. After considerable discussion, the original
motion was carried,—thirty-three voting for it, and twenty-one
for the amendment. An early public meeting being thus re-
solved on, a Committee was appointed to make the necessary
arrangements. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the
meting separated.—Edinburgh Courant.
There has been much heavy play lately at the

London, England, 1837-12-30

sox, Esq.,
That this Meeting cannot resist 'the deep and ♦ery painful
conviction that her Majesty's Ministers, and especially those con-
nected with the Colonial Department, on whom devolved the task
of securing the impartial fulfilment of the contract between the
British people and the planters, have suffered the provisions of the
Abolition Act, imperfect as they were, to be flagrantly violated by
sanctioning colonial laws and oppressive acts wholly at variance
with such provisions, and.by discharging the claims of the planters
upon the Compensation Fund, without securing the stipulated con-
sideration from them—thus adding to the wrongs of the slave, and
pillaging the British nation.
Out the motion of the Low BAILIFF, seconded by Gronoz
EnmoNns, Esq.,
That Petitions to Parliament, and a Memorial to the Queen,
founded on the preceding Resolutions, be adopted by this Meetin,,,
and that the same be signed by the High Bailiff on its behalf ; and
that the Right Hon. the Lord Brougham be requested to present
the Memorial to the Queen, and also the Petition to the House of
Peers, and that the Members for the Borough be requested to pre-
sent the Petition to the House of Commons.

On the motion of the Rev. J. A. JAMZS ; seconded by Captain

AloomoNt, R.N.

That this Meeting tenders its sincere thanks to those Mis-
sienaries in the Colonies who, in the midst of difficulty and danger,
have stood forth the advocates of immediate and unconditional
emancipation, and also to those few Special Magistrates who, sur-
rounded by strong temptations and exposed to relentless persecu-
tion, have laboured to maintain the rights of the negro, and to
administer the law in the spirit of the British Abolition ♦ct. And
this Meeting would express its admiration of the peaceable and for-
bearing conduct of the negroes under their wrongs and disappoint-
ments, and would earnestly exhort them to persevere in their
praiseworthy course, trusting to the blessing of GOD upon the
moral and constitutional means in operation for their speedy deli-
veranse.

WILLIAM SCHOLEFIELD, High Bailiff.
The Low Bailiff having taken the Chair,
Resolved unanimously,
That the thanks of this Meeting be presented the High Bailiff for
his able and courteous conduct in th• Chair.

ELOQUENCE at the ENGLISH BAR.

(From the Bench and the Bar.)
True eloquence has, of late years, most grievously de-
clined at the English Bar. I am not sure whether there.
be not now a greater number of sound lawyers in West-
minster Hall, than at any former period ; but surely, no
one who knows anything of the subject will pretend that,
in point of genuine eloquence, the Bar of the present day
can admit of a moment's comparison with that of a former
period. At present I know of no master-spirit in West-
minster Hall. We look in vain, for an Erskine or a
Brougham—we look in vain in our Courts of Law even
or such men as but lately conferred a lustre on Scotland,
and Ireland, by the brilliancy of their forensic displays of
either country. We cannot boast either of a Jeffrey or
of an O'Connell. Whence is this ? What is the cause
of this decline in true eloquence at the English
Bar ? I have heard various reasons assigned for
it ; but I cannot concur in any one which has yet
been mentioned to me. The most common hypothesis is
that there is now a greater number of cases before our
Courts, and that consequently those Barristers who possess
the greats bi,ilities are retained in so many cases, that they
are ~to a certain extent, obliged to make their forensic ex-
hibitions a matter of mere business ; which, it is said, pre-
cludes that attention to their matter and style, which is
indispensable to the loftiest order of eloquence. I cannot
see any force in this. If such were the case, how happens
it that none of the Junior Counsel, whose minds are not
distracted by an accumulation of business, give no indica-
tions, in any of their efforts, of the possession of true elo-
quence ? Besides, the most successful and most cele-
brated lawyers in Westminsttr Hall, did not leap
into an overpowering business at once. Many of them
remaned for years unknown to public fame, after
being called to the Bar. Why did they not distin-
guish themselves by eloquence and oratory of a cam-
mending order, before their minds were distracted by
the multiplicity and extent of their professional business ?
The simple answer is, that none of them have possessed,
any more than they now display, the higher attributes of
genius. My own decided opinion is, that adventitious cir-
cumstances of any kind have nothing to do with that
dearth of genuine eloquence which is so manifest in most
of the forensic efforts of the present members of the bar.
I am satisfied that the real cause is to be found in the ab-
sence of the higher order of genius, and in nothing else.
Wherever there is this order of genius, it will rile superior
to all accidental circumstances ; its innate energy will over-
co ne every obstacle which would oppose its manifestation,
and cause it to burst forth on an astonished and admiring
world. If there were any incipient Erskines or Broughams
in Westminster Hall at present, the light of their genius
would soon break out in their oratory, in all its dazzling
splendour.

HATTON GARDEN.

Yesterday Patrick Carey was brought before Messrs.
ROGERS and BENNETT, charged with having attempted to
mwrder his wife.

The prisoner did not deny the charge, and he was ordered
to find good bail, for which he was locked up.
A young woman, far advanced in pregnancy, entered the
office, to ask advice how to obtain assistance. She was in
service at the west end of the town, but, having been se-
duced, she was ultimately compelled to leave her situation,
and, becoming completely destitute, she sought refuge in the
house of a poor woman, who accompanied her, residing in St.
Andrew's, -Holborn, to which parish she applied for relief, but
they referred her to Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. They
referred her back to St. Andrew's, and she had been sent
backwards and forwards ever since to no purpose, until she at
length began to be afraid of the consequences.
she was informed that the Magistrates could not interfere
or render her any assistance, and it would be useless for her
to see them.

Applicant (afflicted)—l am in great distress, and I must
perish in the streets.
The officer informed her that the parish to which she be-
longed was bound to relieve her if a proper application was
mule. The applicant quitted the office with her friend, saying
that she felt satisfied she would not receive assistance until it
was too late.

TROOPS FOR CANADA.

Orders have been issued to add to the strength of every regi-
ment stationed in the Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Bruns-
wick, 1 captain, 1 subaltern, and 100 rank and file, with a pro-
tionate number of non-commissioned officers ; and her Ma-
jesty's ships Hastings, Pique, and Inconstant have, we under-
stand, °received instructions to immediately proceed to Cork,
there to embark for Halifax the above-mentioned draughts, as
also the service companies of the 93d Highlanders. It is also
confidently rumoured that a brigade of Guards, and the 23d
and 71st Regiments, are to be sent out to Canada in the spring,
so as to increase our present strength by upwards of .5,000 men.
All officers of regiments stationed there, who may be at pre-
sent on leave, have received orders to join without delay. A
number of half-pay officers, of various ranks, have also re-
ceived orders to proceed immediately to Canada, for the pur-
pose of being attached to the different militia regiments, to
assist in improving their discipline, &c. Many embark,by the
next packet.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

TRICKS UPON PUBLICANS.—A decent-looking young man was placed
at the bar under the following circumstances.
The complainant, a licensed victualler, stated the defendant went to
his house and called for two-pennyworth of something to drink, for
which he tendered a half-crown. The barmaid gave him 2s. 4d., and
the defendant went away, but returned in a short time, stating that he
had received only 10d. Complainant on inquiry having learned that
the defendant had practised a similar trick in the neighbourhood
gave him into custody, although he believed him to be a respectable
young man.

The defendant stated that a mistake existed somewhere, and that he
found himself to be 2s. Gd. out of pocket.
Mr. Alderman T. WOOD discharged the defendant, telling him, the
better way to escape such mistakes in future, was to avoid those houses
altogether.

A chimney.sweep was charged with breaking a pane of glass in a
pawn-brokers shop.window in Goswell-street, and stealing several ar-
ticles of jewellery. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the transac-
tion, but the ALDERMAN said he had no doubt of his guilt, and sen-
tenced him to two months imprisonment in the House of Correction,
with hard labour.

PRICE OF SUGAR.

The average price of Muscovado Sugar, from the returns made
in the week ending the 26th of Dec., 1837, is 41s. 4id. per Cwt.,
exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable on the Importa-
tion thereof into Great Britain.

On Tuesday, Dec. 26, William Curl, servant of
\V, Grisenthwaite, Eaq , Manor-house, Beckenham, Kent,
walked on the outside of the railings whiCh surround the top
of the Monument, and having, without any signs of fear,
passed round the stupendous pillar, he climbed a flag which
was fixed to the corner of the iron rails, and stood upon them,
waving his bat without appearance of trepidation.
Some of the Paris manufacturers, considering that
their workmen might be tempted to try their fortune in the
