cloth bds. 12s.
" This is a truly valuable work ; Mr. Twiss has escaped the af-
fectation of mysticism, obscurity and vulgarity, with which Niebuhr
seems to hare infected most of his followers and translators. In the
Appendix there are some original investigations, which display
great learning and acuteness; we were particularly phased .with
that on the office of dictator. —Athenaeum.

At the execution of Bartlett, last Saturday, the
hangman actually played the part of a buffoon to the populace,
by sneeringly saying to the suspended corpse, " Old chap, you
are dead enough l" &c., and danced on the platform until the
spectators actually repeatedly laughed ; he patted him on his
cheek, and heaved his cap from over his face, and shook hands
with him, and gave him a box on the ear, which turned him
round and round. several women were on the platform, to
have their nc?eks charmed by rubbing the dead man's hand
over their wens as a cure 1 and it is a fact that children were
acting the execution in the streets after it was over, by play-
ing the part of Jack Ketch.—Gloucester Journal. [N.B. We
understand that private letters received by the Committee of
the Capital Punishment Society confirmed the truth of the
above paragraph. The Magistrates of Gloucester, we arc
also informed, are investigating the circumstances.]
Saturday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, a
very lamentable accident happened in St. James's Park, near
Story's-gate, to Mr. Booth, an extensive timber-merchant, of
Bankside, Southwark. Mr. Booth was retuning home, being
mounted on a high-spirited horse, when the animal took fright
and galloped furiously across the Parade, towards Storey's-
gate: on reaching Storey's-gate, the horse came in violent
contact with a carriage, the result of which was that the right
leg of Mr. Booth was fractured in the most shocking manner.
Although suffering severely, Mr. Booth kept his seat, whilst
his horse proceeded down Great George-street ; at the corner
of King-street he was thrown violently, arid broke the knee-
cap of his right leg, as also the thigh bone. The unfortunate
gentleman was taken up in a state of insensibility, and con-
veyed to the residence of Mr. M'Cann, surgeon, of Parlia-
ment-street, who set the fractures. Hopes are entertained of
his recovery.
On Saturday a woman named Webster,
been committed on a charge of felony at Charlton-upon-Met-
lock, declared she would destroy herself; and in about two
hours after she had been confined shrieks were heard, and
on the door being opened the woman was found enveloped in
flames. Her clothes were burnt from her person, and she was
shockingly scorched. She confessed to having set herself on
fire, and on the following day she expired. The Jury re-
turned a verdict offclo de se.—Chester Gazette. having
F. G. Chester, formerly a butcher at Horncastle, was
found dead on the bank iu afield near . Lincoln, din Sunday.
It appears that two days before he was• liberated from Lincoln
Castle, where he had been confined. for &long period for debt;
the deceased had nine children depending on him, and he was
without any money or resources. A coroner's jug 'returned n
verdict of " Died from starvation,",—LineoN Gazetee•
