TA2"TERSALL'S—YRSTERIL4r.
The Derby betting continues languid, and, judging from ap-
pearances, is not likely to improve on this side of the Craven
Meeting. The few engagements entered into yesterday only en-
abled us to collect that Brother to Bay Middleton was a shade worse
than on Monday, that Phantasima was in some demand, and that
offers to back Lord Exeter's, either singly or in a lot, were made in
three or four quarters. There was also some talk about the retired
favourites, Flare-up and Defender, but no blow struck. 700 to
100 was taken about Vacuna for the Oaks, and 100 to 50: about
Brother to Bay Middleton for the Riddiesworth. The following
are the last prices :

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WORSHIP- STREET.
Yesterday the Rev. Dr. Rice, Curate of St. Luke's, Old-
street, appeared on a summons at this office, charged with
twice assaulting a mourner while performing the funeral ser-
vice. It appeared there were two graves within fifty feet of
each other, and as the Rev. Defendant was standing midway
between the two, the complainant approached him for the pur-
pose of requesting that he would approach nearer to the grave
of his friend's wife, when the Rev. Defendant struck him on
the head with the hand which held the book. The people in
the churchyard commenced crying " Shame." Thu Rev.
Defendant alleged—First, the common custom of reading the
same service for several burials. provided the graves lay at
convenient distances ; secondly, that, seeing the complainant
approach him while commencing the words " Forasmuch as it
hath pleased," &c., be (the Rev. Defendant) raised his hand
containing the book to impose silence, and not for the purpose
of striking ; and, thirdly, that from his (the Rev. Defendant's)
entering the burial-ground a disposition for levity and amuse-
ment among the mass of people there congregated seemed to
prevail. The Magistrates, however, being of a contrary opi-
nion, they inflicted a fine of 40s. and costs, accompanied with
their expression of regret at finding a Minister of Peace so far
forgetting his sacred character.

and their son, Lord Seaham, who arrived at Warsaw on the
22d of February, were expected to remain only a few days
in that capital, and then set out for England, via Berlin and
Paris.

The Chancellorship of the Order of the Garter is

cant by the death of Viscount Forbes.

of the most ancient families of Russia, and most distinguished

THE DIVORCED, BY LADY CHARLOTTE BURY.
--1‘ The works of this distinguished authoress always afford us
both amusement and instruction. Like Mrs. Inchbald, she
has the Eirt of exciting strong sympathy by following the course
of the natural passions—whilst, from her knowledge of life and
manners, she fills her canvass with a greater variety, and more
pleasing objects. The present charming work is, perhaps, one
of Lady Bury's best productions ; the story is simple and af-
fecting, and makes its progress through a course of well-con-
trived incidents, and characters always pleasing, and often
striking."—Bell's Messenger.
MR. CAMPBELL'S LETTERS FROM THE SOUTH.
—There is as much information and novelty in these volumes,
as respects that portion of them which opens up a view of the
social habits and moral characteristics of the people thus honour-
ed with an illustrious visitor, as would admit of being spun
out into half a dozen ordinary volumes of tours and travels;
and there are as many sound reflections and exquisite grates
of poetical feeling as would set up twice that number of ordi-
nary poett:, were they to travel and turn letter-writers.. The
style is everywhere graphic, lively, and fanciful—the picture is
set before the eye, without the least straining after false effects.
There is no waste of words here—no obscurity of meaning ;
but the thoughts, sentiments, and images stand out in full re-
lief, as free from elaborate affectation as from unpolished
plainness.—Court Journal.
The Harems of the East have been kept to a great
extent a veiled mystery to the eyes of unbelievers. Occa-
sionally, as in the case Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a
slight peep behind the curtain has been obtained; but the
seraglios of the African Mussulmant have hitbertq escaped,
the inquisitive eyes of unprivileged intruders. To Prir.ce
Puckler Muskau, however, who has lately s:pent some tirae in
Africa, this unprecedented opportunity b 5 been offered. In
his " Semilasso in Africa," which Mr.. Bentley announces as
just ready for publication, the Priner., admits his reader with
him to a participation in the sec'ets he has obtained. His
sketches of the Moorish ladies are, piquant, novel, and elegantly
described.

We observe that there is a new edition coming out
of " Spain in 1830," at a moment, too, when the subject is
upon every body's tongue. The late Mr. Inglis was a traveller
of high qualifications. He was a very impartial observer of
passing events, an accurate and forcible narrator of what he
saw ; and he contrived to give in a simple condensed form a
store of valuable information without any pretension to effect.
The Earl of Aberdeen said that in. this work he had " obtained
more information about Spain thrm from all the official docu-
ments be had perused." This is; no slight praise on the tart
