a villanous-looking fellow, who had been indicted for stealing
rifle
from
a a dwelling-house. He had very composedly taken
his scat in one of the chairs already mentioned as constituting
the " bar," and was in frequent consultation with his
lawyer, who sat beside him. The states' or district attorney,
whose place it was it is to appear in behalf of the state, was at
this time opening the case to the court and jury. When he
had finished his harangue, the felon's lawyer got upon his
legs, and continued to hold forth for something more than half
an hour. I was exceedingly amused at the cool man-
ner of the burglar, who occasionally twitched his man of law's
coat-skirt, whenever he though he was not saying all he ought
to say in his behalf ; and then to see his lawyer bend down his
ear (for the rogue would not take the trouble to rise), to listen
to his client's suggestion. This, thought I, may do in these
republican backwoods ; but how strange such doings would
appear in our old fashioned courts of justice ! But I was then
almost a stranger in the land; and I have long since ceased to
wonder at suck scones. When the parties had respectively ad-
dressed the court and jury, " his honour," the district judge,
commenced summing up the whole business. As this was
likely to occupy considerable time, and as the prisoner had been
in court many hours, he very composedly got up, and pushing
his way through the crowd behind the bar, descended into the
street. The only individual that attempted to detain him was
his own lawyer;
,who, when the prisoner had informed him
that lie intended to go down to the tavern, which was some-
what distant, to refresh himself with some " victuals and
drinks," remonstrated against such a step, on the plea of its
not showing a proper respect to the " honourable court."
However, as this was simply a matter of opinion, the fellow saw
fit to favour his own feelings—and away be went to enjoy him-
self. At length the summing up was over—the law attaching
and applying to the particular case was communicated, clearly
and intelligibly to the jury—who, after consulting a few mi-
nutes, gave in a verdict of " guilty." The only remaining
part of the busißess was for the court to pass sentence upon
the prisoner—but he was not forthcoming. After some little
delay, and consultation in high quarters, a couple of constables
went off for the prisoner, to the house where he had been
making the most of his time in picking tho buries of a roasted
goose. After the trio had each of them swallowed a "drink"
of whiskey, they told him he had better lick his fingers and go
along with them, as the judge had got something " very parti.
cular" to tell him. Being too well bred to keep "his honour"
waiting, now that he had dined and had his allowance of
whiskey, off he set to hear what they had to say. He therefore
once more edged in by the side of his lawyer—who now, I ob.
served, received him rather coolly—and when silence had been
duly enforced, the fellow was sentenced to twelve months' im-
prisonment."

ELECTION.

CHRISTIAN REFORMER.
Sherwood, Gilbert, and Piper.

We are glad to see in the July Number of this Ma-
gazine the commencement of a series of papers entitled
" Answer to the Principal Objections brought against
the Truth of the Gospel," translated from that excel-
lent work, Demonstration Evangclique. The objec-
tions considered and answered in the present article are
the Unbelief of the Jewish Nation, and the Silence of
Profane History. The only other article which our
limits permit us to notice is that entitled " Lady Hew-
ley's Charities—Third Act of the Controversy." It
is a review of a pamphlet, lately published, setting forth

the proceedings before the Master in Chancery, to de-
termine who are the proper parties to succeed the
trustees who were removed for their supposed heresy.
As we intend to devote an article or two to this subject
soon, we shall here only advert to the remarkable cir-
cumstance, that the Dissenters (-of the Independent
denomination) who have been labouring so hard to
dispossess the Presbyterians of endowments handed
down to them from their ancestors, on the ground of a
declension from the true faith, are here charged, on the
oath of Scotch Presbyterian Ministers, with the guilt
of the same heresy of which they accused Lady Hew-
icy's trustees ; and that the Independents, so accused,
have been unable to repel the charge ! It is further in-
sinuated by the Scotch Presbyterians—who it appears
constitute a majority in the new trust—that there is good
ground for suspecting that many old Presbyterian en-
, &wino-As now in the hands of the Independents are held
by them unjustly, and properly belong to the Scotch

Presbyteriatis, as the only true religionists of the name
now in existence. It may thus happen that the stone
set in motion by the Independent Dissenters may re-
bound with tenfold destruction on themselves.

ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE.
" Recollections of the Deccan'' is the only article in
this Number which has the least appearance of fresh.
ness. 'There are also some terse, business-like ob.
scrvations on the establishment of the Agra Bank
The other papers are reviews of books, and reports o
proceedings at the East India House, of no genera
interest.

THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.
Simpkin and Marshall.
" Here he comes, God bless him ! driving all before
him," was the enthusiastic burst of the delighted Irish
blackleg, when he saw his favourite racer bring up the
rear on the Curtagh of Kildare. The exclamation es-
capes us almost as often as our friend Anthony Poplar
makes his appearance. He is sure to be hindmost—
sure to bring up the rear in the Magazine race of pre-
cedence. We had inquired for him four times at least,
when having allowed as many clear days of the month
to elapse, in he walks about noon, (this day) to lay
claim to the merited, but generally uncoveted distinc-
tion of arriving five days after the proper time.
Whether this is attributable to an arrangement made
by the editor, the printer, or the publishers, we, of
course, cannot tell ; but we are very sensible that it
militates against the interest of the proprietors. In
noticing periodical literature, our object is to benefit
the publishers as well as the public ; and, therefore,
if Magazines, and such temporary productions, are
not sent to us in time, we would prefer not receiving
them at all, inasmuch as we cannot do them justice
after they have lost the attraction of novelty. Either
let us, in future, see Anthony Poplar on the first day
of the month at the latest, or let us not see him at all.
We cannot—rather will not—speak critically of his
appearance this month. Our friends must therefore
be satisfied with learning that we have seen him, and
that we are in a towering passion at not having seen
him earlier.

On Saturday night Thomas Taylor, a boy belonging
to the sehooner•Bradford, Captain Wright, of Selby, whilst
endeavouring to get into the host over the stern of the vessel,
then lying in Pickle Herring Tit r, fell into the River, and was
drowned. The unfortunate lad was about. 15 years of age. A
reward of W. hac been oFfored for the recovery of the body.

PREPARATIONS for the GENERAL

BRIGIITON.—The Gazette, which is the local organ of
the 'Furies, says that the success of Sir Adolphus Dal-
rymple is certain if promises arc to be relied on.
LIVERPOOL.—It is the wont of the Tories to be boast-
ful and not over veracious. Accordingly, we find the
Courier loud and confident in asserting the certainty of
Sandon and ClT.:smell getting in. Credal.
RTE.—Major Curteis has resigned. His brother, late
Member for the County, will offer himself, and be re-
turned.

DUNIFRIES.—The more conspicuous reformers in Dum-
fries and Maxsvelltown, have wisely determined not to di-
vide the Liberal interest ; so that if we are to have a
contest at all, it will be one of principle and not of pri-
vate friendship, or shades of opinion as closely interwoven
as the plumage on a carrier pigeon's neck. The Tories,
we understand, have been lying off in expectation of a split,
and were a breach made for them, we have repeatedly un-
derstood from one of the party that they had a candidate
at call to pop in, who would hermetically seal the elec-
toral fortress for a series of years.—Dunifiies Courier.
GLOUCESTER.—A correspondent under the name of
Justus thus addresses us :—You have so admirably pic-
tured the expiring agonies of the Tories that I cannot re-
sist the temptation now offered me of letting you in a small
degree behind the scenes here. At a cost of about 7,0001.,
Hope was returned for this city last election, but if he
will not bleed freely and come down handsomely, they
will probably start a red-hot Medico, of the name of Co.
tiler, who was Hope's slop-pail last time. Nothing can
hinder Berkeley and Philpots being returned but the pri-
vate feuds of their respective friends.
