MURRAY V. SCOTT.

In this case, which was an action for libel against the Morn-
i 'g Advertiser, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff on all
Cie issues—Dainagcs, 40s.

A very large failure at Liverpool has been just an-
nounced, the parties having been extensively engaged in the
wholesale .grocery trade. The amount of the liabilities is es-
timated as high as 250,000/. to 260,0001. There were, how-
ever, it is said, considerable assets. The effects of this failure
have been experienced among many parties in the city, but we
have not beard that it has led to any similar disasters here..__

COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND
HYMOURIST.—EDITED BY THEODORE HOOK, ESQ.—We gate
our cordial approbation to the first Number of this Magazine,
which, at the commencement of the year, exhibited its new
character and features. We are glad that we can increase our
praises, for the present Number, the second of the series, is
rich in humour, and full of merit. VVit sparkles throughout
the work, and humour in all its varieties. It is sometimes
broad and solid; at other times light and airy; but we are glad
to say that it is always chaste, and often instructive. The
Number for the present month opens with the " Gurney
Papers." In continuance or the last series, Mr. Theodore
Hook, that veteran humorist and able delineator of character,
has given us a very pleasant sketch, told in his own agreeable
way. Mr. Haynes Bayly again pays us a visit with a refresh-
ing tale, written with a great deal of spirit. Mr 4 Jerrold, too,
shines well ; but one of the best things in the Magazine is, de-
cidedly, a paper by its new contributor, Mr. Howard, the au-
thor of" Rattlin the Reefer." With genuine pleasure we bail
him a contributor to the " New Monthly."—Dispatch.

MEUNIER.—The France says, " The garden of the
Luxembourg is barricaded and masked by a fence so close at
Vic part whcreMeurlier passes, that not a crevice is left through
which his person can be observed in his daily visits to the office
of the examining magistrates. Meunier's mother luzs frequent
interviews with him. She is conducted to the Luxembourg in
a carriage : a crowd is usually collected at the principal en-
trance of the Palace to obtain a sight of her as she conies out.
Oa these occasions she is generally much dejected. She ap-
pears to be a woman of about 40 or 45 years of age. As to
the prisoner, those who have had an opportunity of seeing his
countenance state that he appears to possess much firmness.
He usually wears a great coat, which he is n:,t allowed to take
off in passing front his prison to the office; and beneath his
garment there is probably a strait-waistcoat, to prevent the
attempts which the prisoner's determined character might in-
duce him to make upon his own existence. If appearances
may be believed, Meunier does not deceive himself as to.his
fate, nor is he redeemed in his own estimation by
the grcatcr
Or less degree of importance attached to his revelations."
