Between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock on
Thursday night, as a youth named Marshall, a paper-

mendous force on the side of the head, knocked him down
underneath the horses' feet, and the fore and hind wheels
passed over his body. He was directly conveyed to St.
'Bartholomew's Hospital, iund on being placed in one of the

We are glad to find that our remarks on Mr. Tur-
ner's speech last week, have drawn from him an explanatory
letter, which we have no doubt will be quite satisfactory to
the whole of his liberal supporters. We never had any
doubts of the honourable gentleman's intention honestly to
support the policy of the Melbourne Cabinet, but as the
passage on which we more particularly animadverted was
in our opinion liable to be misunderstood, we were anxious
that a meaning should not be attached to it which we were
persuaded it was never intended to convey. Mistake is
now impossible. Mr. Turner, without giving an opinion
of measures which he has not had an opportunity of ex-
amining, avows himself a supporter of Ministers " so far
as their policy has yet been developed."—West Briton.
ADhLPHI THEATRE.-Last night, after the eighth
representation of Rory O'lliore, and of the more serious
drama of The Pocket Book, Mrs. Yates made her second
appearance in The Actress of All Work—a trifle of slight
yet pleasant construction, not less calculated to excite the
surprise of the audience than to elicit its applause in behalf
of the fair performer, whose versatility of talent it is prin.
cipally intended to display. The heroine of this trifle,
Maria (Mrs. Yates), is the beloved of Frederick (Mr. Sa-
ville), the son of the Manager (Mr. Cullenford), who is at
first opposed to the match on the score of her total inapti-
tude to the stage, but who subsequently relents, and finally
agrees to their union, on finding, as he does by her persona.
tion of totally dissimilar characters, that she is not an ac-
tress only, but a company. The parts 'personated are
Bridgett, a country gawky ; Flourish, a first-rate London
actress, her cousin ; Goody Stubbins, a deaf amorous old
lady, Bridget's grand-aunt ; Lounge, a literary fop, in-
triguing with Bridget, betrothed to Flourish ; and Mdlle.
Josephine, an opera singer from Paris. In the whole of
these personations Mrs. Yates exhibited very considerable
talent, and her performance was throughout received with
very general approbation. The house was crowded in
every part.
The body of the gentleman drowned from a
bathing machine at Ramsgate (son of Mr. H. Kingsley,
Camberwell-grove) was picked up on Thursday by some
Dearboatmen, near Sandwich Flats, and brought in here to his
disconsolate parent, who offered 101. for the recovery of his
body, but it was in such a mutilated state as scarcely to be
recognized ; it was deposited in the bathing establishment,
waiting interment, and the arrival of more of his friends.
Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock,
a labouring man, named Holmes, while working on board
of the London Trader, lying just below bridge, advanced
too near to the handle of a winch that was revolving with
great rapidity, and was struck underneath the chin by it
with such force that he was twisted off the deck and thrown
to the distance of' between three and four yards. His jaw-
bones were shattered in a most dreadful manner, and the
flesh of the lower part of the face torn to a considerable
extent. He was removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, and
remains in a precarious state.

Anaccident, ending fatally, has lately occurred to
the coachman of the Rev. Robert Corry, rector of Tarrant
Hinton, near Blandford. He was riding one of his master's
horses, when it suddenly fell, and the unfortunate man was
dragged some distance under the horse. His left leg being
in clue contact with the ground, was dreadfully injured im-
mediately above the knee-cap ; and although the wound
went on favourably from day to day, Mr. Daniell, the sur-
geon, was from the first apprehensive that the case would
terminate in locked jaw—a result which unhappily took
place nine days after the accident. The poor man suffered
dreadfully from spasms of the muscles of the back, which
produced violent con% ulsions, of which he died just one fort-
night from the time of the accident. Persons cannot be
too careful, however slight the wound may he, if laceration
has taken place, to procure immediate advice.—Sherborne
Journal.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
SlR,—The Committee appointed at the public meeting
held at the Freemasons' Hall on the 29th of May, to pro-
mote the free access of the people to all public edifices con-
taining works of art, are happy to find that an example has
already been set by the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral
of Norwich. The following order is highly satisfactory,
and deserves emulation from every Chapter in the kingdom :
" Ordered—That the Cathedral be opened to the public
for one hour each day (except Sunday), in addition to the
usual hours of service, and that the subsacrists be ordered
to attend in turn to preserve order, for which they be paid
in addition to their salaries."
Norwich is known as the first provincial city distinguished
by the establishment of a Society of Artists : its exhibi-
tions commenced in the year 1805, and an academy, with a
considerable number of casts from statues and vases, has
been since added. It. has produced many talented artists ;
and it is pleasing to find that after they leave their native
town for the metropolis, a spirit of liberality and a taste in
art remain, and it may be hoped that as its annual exhibition
was followed by others throughout the country, the example of
its Dean and Chapter may spread wherever there is a Cathe-
dral that deserves admiration, or a monument in commemo-
ration of virtue and greatness ; that the inhabitants of our
towns may at least have a choice in the hours of recreation
between the haunts of idleness And dissipation, and the re•
positories of national honour ; for there can be little doubt
that before any considerable lapse of time has supervened,
the decorous behaviour and moral improvement of the
working classes may lead to a further extension of liberality,
and that their admission to the Cathedrals on Sunday
afternoon may be considered highly conducive to re-
ligion, as it would be an efficient corrector of debased
habits.

The report of the speeches at the public meeting just
published and circulated by the Committee, is well calcu-
lated to throw light on this very important subject, from
the varied liberal opinions of so many speakers of every
shade of political opinion who are agreed upon this, how-
ever different on other subjects.
I remain, Sir, your very obedient,

G. FOGGO,
Hon. Sec. to the Committee.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY

ACCOMMODATION BILLS.
Charles Lloyd, a messenger in the Customs, applied on
his petition to be discharged. The insolvent, who was not
opposed, was supported by Mr. COOKE. The case exhi-
bited one of those scenes which so often take place in. the
Court, of the evil results arising from accommodation bills.
. The insolvent, whom it appeared had suffered greatly from
indisposition, and had been the inmate of the infirmary in
Whitecross-street prison during the greater part of his in-
carceration, was arrested upon a Bill of Exchange that he
had accepted for the accommodation of a friend.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER observed 'that no man de-
served pity who made himself liable as the insolvent had
done, to oblige a friend. No person had a right to accept
a bill without be could take it up. He was sorry, however,
to say that the practice was carried to a most frightful ex-
tent, and had been productive of the greatest mischief.
The Insolvent said that the friend for whom he had ac-
cepted the Bill, was labouring under severe illness at the
time.

Mr. CooKE told the insolvent that that was no excuse.
No party had a right to raise money upon bills which he
could not afterwards take up—the Court always set its
face against such transactions.
The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. It ap-
peared that he had a salary of only 651. a-year, and had
been, according to the orders of the Commissioners, sus-
pended from his situation.

The accommodation bill system is carried on to so great
an extent as loudly to call for some legislative enactment
to put an end to it. There can be no doubt that one-
third of time insolvencies that take place are attributable to
so pernicious a system.

The Duke of Richmond, accompanied by the Earl
of March, left. Gordon Castle on Monday last, to visit IA
estates in the Highlands. Among other parts of his pro,
perty which he has not yet seen, his Grace will, on this oc,
casion, visit the famed solitudes of Glen Avon, perhaps the
wildest and most secluded spot in Great Britain, with the
peaks of Cairngorm and Ben Mac-Dhuie, towering so high
above, that, in winter, the sun never shines on the bosom
of the Lake. The Duke, it is believed, will entertain his
Highland tenants in Glenlivat at dinner before returning to
the Lowlands, and will take this opportunity of presen-
ting his son, the Earl of March, to them in the garb which
they love best—the dress of a young Highland chief.—
Elgin Paper.
The remains of the Dowager Countess of Guild-
ford were removed from Highclere, the seat of the Earl
of Carnarvon, on Monday last, to Wroxton Abbey, and
deposited on Tuesday evening in the family vault at Wrox-
ton. The body was followed by Colonel and Lady Susan
Doyle, the Marquis of Bute, Earl and Countess of Car-
narvOn, Earl of Sheffield, Lord and Lady Francis Sandon,
Lord Willoughby de Broke, Miss Balvaird, Mr. Percy
Doyle and tenantry. The funeral service was performed
by the Venerable Archdeacon Norris.
Lord Vernon has succeeded to vast estates in Che-
shire and Lancashire by the demise of his mother, the
Dowager Lady Warren Vernon, of Poynton Hall, near
Cheshire. Her Ladyship only survived her Lord two years,
his Lordship havied died on board his yacht, the Harlequin,
off Gibraltar, in 1835.
Mr. Arkwright and Mr. Pemberton have bought
houses in Eaton-place, for their town residences, and Lord
Gardner one in Eaton-square.
Prince and Princess Von Gagarin and family ar-
rived at Harris's, Mersey Hotel, at Liverpool, on Monday
last, and thence proceeded, accompanied by Mr. Wil-
loughby, of Buckenhead, to Chester, and expressed him-
itslf much gratified with his visit to that-ancient city. His
-Highness, after making a tour of the principal towns in
the north, will return to the London Hotel about the 18th
inst. Woburn Abbey, one of the great show houses of
the kingdom, was viewed by the Prince and Princess on
their way to the North.
The funeral of the late Lord Templemore took
p'ace on Tuesday last, the 3d inst., at the parish church
of Sunbridge, Kent. The service was performed by the
Rev. Dr. D'Oyley, the Rector, and was attended by the
relatives and friends of the deceased : His Lordship's
two eldest sons, the Marquis of Anglesey, the Earl of Ux-
bridge, Sir Arthur Paget, Sir Edward Paget, the Hon.
Berkeley Paget, the Marquis Conyngham, the Hon: Geo.
Byng, David Baillie, Esq. ; James Kibblethwaite, Esq., &c.
Lord and Lady Ernest Bruce have arrived at Bu-
chanan Castle, Dumbartonshire, on a visit to the Duke and
Duchess of Montrose, where a numerous circle has as-
sembled.
By the will of the deceased poet, the late Sir Eger.
ton Brydges, Bart., the copyright of all his works, is be.
queathed to his second son, the Rev. A. E. Brydges, M.A.
The Journal de Paris states that the marriage of
the Princess Marie with Prince Alexander of Wurtemberg
will be celebrated at St. Cloud, upon which occasion bril-
liant entertainments will be given at Court. -
A general meeting of the Refdrmers residing in the
Crediton registration district, North Devon, was held in
the new market-house on Tuesday last, for the purpose of
forming a Reform Association. It was numerously and
respectably attended. Sir H. P. Davie, Bart., was unani-
mously called to the Chair. The formation of the Asso-
ciation was decided. Sir H. Davie was elected President,
and J. Sillifant, jun., Esq., Vice-President. A Committee
of Management for attending to the registration, and for
the general objects of the Association, was also formed,
and members appointed to attend the central meetings at
South Melton.
We have to announce the death .of another book-
seller—Mr. Fenn, of Charing-cross—a name well known to
those who have interested themselves in the parcichial re-
forms of the metropolitan parishes. His undaunted per-
severance at a great pecuniary sacrifice in resisting, and at
last destroying, the usurpation of a self-elected select vestry
has been followed by those beneficial results he always con-
tended would follow ; namely, a very large reduction in
every branch of the expenditure of his parish, and conse-
quently a great diminution of parochial taxation. His
memory cannot fail to be held in very high and very de-
served respect by his fellow parishioners of St. Martin, for
the important services he has rendered them.
A handsome Gothic monument has just been
erected in the little village of Laverstock, near Salisbury,
to the memory. of the late Sir James Burrough. The
monument bears the following inscription in old English
characters :—" In memory of Sir James Burrough,
Knight, late of this parish, and of Bedford-square, in the
county of Middlesex. He studied the law with industry,
and practised it for many years with such integrity, ability,
and suczess, tint he was created in 1816 one of the Judges
of the Court of Common Pleas. In 1828, he retired
from that office to a private life, and enjoyments arising
from benevolence, charity, and a cheerful temper, increased
by the attentions of his family and friends, and died on
the 25th of March, 1837, in the 88th year of his age. His
remains were deposited in the vault of the Temple Church,
London. Tnis tablet was erected by Anne Burrough, his
only surviving child.
We beg to draw the attention of our readers to a
work, the first number of which Mr. Bentley has issued
this morning—Thiers's celebrated " History of the French
Revolution.' The engravings (judging from that which
accompanies this first number) will indeed be exquisite :
they will present to us all the great events of that memora-
ble epoch. The publication
cannot fail to be universally
acceptable, on account of its elegance and its cheapness.

LTT.FRATUTtE

THE BOOK OF GEMS.
Whittaker, London, 1837.
This splendid work, of which the present forms the
third volume, is now, we suppose, completed. It
con-
tains specimens, accompanied with brief biographical
notices, of the works of all the poets who have written
within the last thirty years, commencing with Words-
worth, and concluding with Haynes Bayly. Gene-
rally speaking, these specimens are well selected ;hut
we should have been glad to have found among theta
Wordsworth's philosophical poem " Written on theo
Banks of Wye,'' and his noble lines on visiting t
" Ruins of Kilchurn Castle," of which last Walter
Scott er
Scott observed, that they stirred his heart
,like thet
sound of a trumpet. As a specimen of Wilson
too, we should have expected to have met with
the address to " the Wild Deer," for it is the
most characteristic and spirited of all his coraP.°:
sitions in verse. Had Dryden ever attempted th
anapestic metre, he would have given us just
such a free, flowing, vigorous, and sounding rel_e
n*
Again, we should have been shown what Crabbe
could do, by his " Sir Eustace Grey," and more
particularly by his impressive sketch of the apprentice-
murderer Peter Grimes, wandering moodily by the sea-
shore—the homely vigour and literal truth of which
sketch its author never afterwards equalled. But these
are mere matters of taste, consequently not to be in-
sisted on. On the whole, Mr. Hall has executed a_
difficult, and we may add, a delicate task, with infinite
skill and judgment. Nothing can be more felicitous
than his selections from Campbell, Leigh Hunt, Barry
Cornwall, Alfred Tennyson, Croly, and Mrs. He"
mans. In his Memoirs, which contain much discreet
criticism, we find little or nothing to object to, excePtf,
perhaps, that he is rather too severe on Byron and
Peter Pindar. Neither of them were so malignant as
he seems to imagine they were. The former was
throughout life the,slave of impulse—which no really
malignant man is or ever can be ; and as for the latter,
what other was he than a broad, laughing humourist ?
As for the " obscurity" of which Mr. Hall speaks,
Peter's Razor Grinder, and portions of his " Lou-
siad," will be remembered as long as a taste for
" merry malice" exists among us. In the " Me"
moir of Lamb," we are told that he " died at
his residence in Islington." This is a slip. Ile
died at Edmonton. We are assured also that his
" John Woodvil will almost bear comparison with the,
happiest efforts of our dramatists, in the high and
palmy days of the drama." This is pure fudge---3
surrender of judgment to the prejudices of coterie.
John Woodvil has scarcely one dramatic requisite--oe
character—no incident—and but one solitary poetic
passage, descriptive of forest sports. It is as a critic,
and subtle, witty essayist, that Lamb will be remelt.'"
tiered. As a poet, lie is defunct already. The fol-
lowing criticism on Professor Wilson is well done :--
" The Professor's contributions to Blackwood's Maga-
zine, which are too strongly marked to leave any doubt .of
their authorship, have established for him a high and endur-
ing, reputation. The conduct of this periodical is so 'Ai'
versally understood to be in his hands, that we may consider
ourselves justified in describing him as its editor. He ha;
I long upheld its supremacy ; the best supported Magazmes
have failed in competing with it ; because there is no living
writer whose talents are so versatile. His learning is both
profound and excursive ; his criticism searching and sound ;
his.descriptions of scenery exquisitely true • his painting'
of human character and passion admirable' ; his wit atd
humour delightful, when it does not degenerate into "fun ;'
and no writer of modern times has written so many eloquent
passages. The mind of Wilson is a remarkable blending of
the kindly with the bitter ; his praise is full and hearty, his
censure almost unendurable. To us, among all the great
men we have ever beheld—and they have not been few--
there is no one who so thoroughly extorts a mingled sensa-
tion of love and fear."
In criticising Crabbe, IV.Ir. Hall says
"He has neither eye nor ear for the beautiful sights spa
delicious sounds of inanimate nature. To him the breae
is ever harsh and unmusical ; seldom moving except to pro-
duce wrecks ; and hill, stream, and valley are barren,
muddy, and unprofitable. The consequence has been that
Crabbe never was a popular poet. Yet the rough energy
of his descriptions, the vigorous and manly style of his ver-
sification, and his stern maxims of morality—with a little
more of a kindly leaning towards humanity—must have se-
cured for him universal admiration." •

This is true in the main • but the first part of the
paragraph is overdone. The embellishments to the

...
'' Book of Gems" are numerous, and of the most ex-

quisite character. Indeed, it is by far the most splendid
work of the season.

THIERS'S HISTORY OF THE FRENCH
REVOLUTION.
Bentley, London, 1837.
A 'translation of M. Thiers's History is a work
that has been long wanted. It is unquestionably the
best that has yet appeared on the subject of the French
Revolution, being shrewd, dispassionate, and scrupu-
lously accurate in its details ; and, above all, free from
those subtle metaphysical speculations, in which M.
Mignet is so constantly indulging. We are
glad, therefore, to see this translation, which'
so far as we can judge—for the present is only the
opening portion of the work—is ably rendered ; and
has the additional advantage of being copiously
illustrated with notes, and anecdotal reminiscences
illustrative of the private and public
.characters of
the early leaders of the Revolution. We are
all of us intimate with the names of Mirabeau, Dan'
ton, Egalite, Robespierre, Marat, &c., but few of us
know anything about their private characters; and the
present work will—as we understand from the preface
—attempt to supply this deficiency. The number be-
fore us contains a brief, biographical sketch of the
celebrated Mirabeau, and of the Duke of Orleans,
whose memorable vote for the death of the King, his
relative, occasioned, it may be remembered, a shudder
even among the blood-thirsty adherents of the Ml
tain. It contains also an Introduction in which the,_
various secondary causes that helped to precipitate the
Larful struggle are slightly glanced at; and is erebert
strikinglished with a engravng descriptive of the mu
der of the Deputy Feraud.' We trust in the future
parts

____each of which, it seems, is to contain at least
one plate—that we shall be presented with
portraits
.t
of the most eminent leaders of the Gironde
and the
Mountain. If thus recommended, we will not permitper
ourselves to doubt for an instant of the success of this
the French
translation, for the materials for illustration are I)
abun-
dant. Everything, in fact, connected with
Revolution is of the most startling, dramatic character,
and deserves record, from the Grand Federation in
the Champ de Mars, down to the death, under the
most frightful circumstances, of the monster, Robes"

REVIEW..---yesterday
w---Yesterday forenoon the 79th
la,nders, now in the Castle, under the command of Major
Young
re inspected and reviewed in Burntsfield Links
by Major-General Lord Greenock, the Commander of this
~Forces in Scotland. This distinguished regiment made a
Hue appearance and performed various manoeuvres in the
most skilful manner, presenting a brilliant military spectacle.
Besides the suite of Lord Greenock, a number of military
of were present, and the novelty of a review, together
it 11 the fineness of the day, attracted a crowd of specta-
tors. The ground was kept by a squadron of the 14tIn •
Dragoons.—Edinburgh Courant.
Yesterday, about a quarter before one o'clock, a
dreadful accident occurred in Regent-street to Lady Mary
Copthall, wife of Sir William Copthall. It appears that
her Ladyship was crossing Regent-street at a hurried
pace, to avoid a light cart that was approaching her, in
doing which, from the slippery state of the carriage road.
her feet slipped beneath her, and she fell at the moment
a cab was preceeding at a quick rate ; unfortunately the
wheel ran over her ladyship's chest, the cab driver having
no possible opportunity of pulling up, or even seeing her
coming in a contrary direction. She was immediately con-
veyed in a coach to her residence in Upper Baker-
street. The injuries, it is hoped, are not of an tdarva-
ing description.
