GUILDHALL.

A lad named William Osborne was brought before Mr.
Alderman COWAN yesterday for final examination, on sus-
picion of having caused the death of a boy named William
Hayes, by drowning, on the evening of Thursday se'nnight,
near Blackfriars Bridge.
Mr. Alderman COWAN thought the boy must be now dis-
charged ; but if, hereafter, evidence to fix him with criminal
conduct should be discovered, he might be apprehended
again. He dismissed the prisoner with an impressive ad-
monition to give all the information in his power to the dis-
tressed parents.

THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH OF NATURE.

In page 17 of this grotesque production, which is
intended to be seriously and profoundly metaphysical,
we find the following assertion :—" Constitutional in-
flux with rationality is when goodness and wisdom cor-
respond with the metaphysical and physical recep-
tacles. Then the influx of hyperphysical good to
metaphysical and physical good produces that degree
of derivative goodness which, influencing the will, lays
the basis of wisdom." The writer of this trash is
asinine to a degree entitling him to bray in Brohdig-
nag. Edipus may solve his meaning—but we are
Davus, and cannot.

THE PICKWICK CLUB. No. IX.

The present Number of this work is quite equal to
its predecessors. " Boz" evidently writes under a high
sense of enjoyment, and this strong relish for his task
it is that carries him through so triumphantly. He is
one of the sincerest and most cordial humourists of the
day, with abundance of merry malice in his composi-
tion, which none but dull, pompous common-place can
take umbrage at. We like him all the better that he
does not stick at a rank extravagance, provided it has
fun to recommend it. A small wit would never have
dared to have given utterance to these " rich and iare"
tit-bits :

" Mr. Winkle said nothing, but he fixed his eyes on
Grummet, and bestowed a look upon him, which, if he had
had any feeling, must have pierced his brain, and come out
on the other side."

" The outraged Mr. Grummer thrust the brass emblem
of Royalty into Sam's neckcloth with one hand, and seized
Sam's collar with the other, a compliment which Mr. Weller
returned by knocking him down out of hand, having pre-
viously, with the utmost consideration, knocked down a chair-
man for him to lie upon."

This Sam Weller, we should observe, is a trump.
We prefer him even to one of Madame d'Arblay's
cocknies. He has wit at will ; lies with a grace
" beyond the reach of art ;" is blest with powers of
invention sufficient to set up a dozen novelists for life;
and moralizes with a solemn and sententious gravity
worthy of " Augustus Tomlinson." Nor is the bland
and philosophic Pickwick, who wears spectacles for
the sole purpose, it should seem, of enabling him to
see his way into a scrape, a less amusing character.
Being a confirmed old bachelor, he is, of course,
always delicately entangled, in some way or other, with
women. His bearing on these occasions is irresistibly
ludicrous. By the bye, who is the Illustrator of this
work ? He has an admirable sense of humour, and
paints " Boz's Pickwick" to the life. His sketch of
an angular, half-dislocated little boy in this Number is
irresistible. The brat looks the impersonation of a
compound fracture.

THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. Pittman.

This Number contains no fewer than four embellish-.
ments—" Hold Hard"--" Sultan"—" The Pipe"—
and " Pantomime." It is, besides, filled with a series
of articles on sporting subjects, of more than ordinary
merit. There is a profusion of verses, some of which
are decidedly beautiful. Upon the whole, we con-
gratulate the editor and the subscribers upon the ap-
pearance of one of the best Numbers of this periodical
that has appeared for several months.

HA7'7'ON-GARDEN.

Mary O'Callaghan, a dirty-looking Irishwoman, was
brought up by Hall, the officer, charged by Bridget Mac-
arthy, with having pelted her with pratees, and beaten her
with a candlestick in a brutal manner.

The complainant, on Tuesday night last, sat down by
the fireside to boil some pratees for her husband's supper,
when Mary O'Callaghan, who lived on the same floor,
wanted to broil some sprats, and swore that she would
have the loan of the fire, which witness refused her. Shortly
after the defendant pushed her chair, and nearly upset
her. " Arrali, den," says I, " couldn't yer spake to a
body, and I'd get out of yer way ?" " Bad luck to yer,"
says she, " did yer hear me a coming, and is it myself that
would spake to the likes o' yer ?" " And bad luck luck to
you," says I ; " who are you and the likes on you ? ain't
I an honest man's wife, and isn't that more than you are?"
Wid dat she sazed bolt of the pot, turned over de pre-
tees, wid which she polthoged me, and sazing holt of the
candlestick bate me about the head and the body, tore the
hair from my head, and tore my bonnet in pieces—(pro-
ducing a handful of hair, her tattered bonnet, and candle..
stick, and eagerly exhibiting her wounded skull.)
Mr. ROGERS—Have you any witnesses ? Nlacarthy—
(holdingu

Reverence,
O'Callaghan—Sure, did'nt she call me names, and so I
strick her.
Mr. ROGERS—You are fined 10s. and costs, or ten days'
imprisonment.
O'Callaghan—Then I'll go to prison ; that will only be
a shilling a day, and you must feed me for the money. The
divil a farthing shall they get of me.
She was then taken to prison.

MARLBORO UGH. STREET.
Benjamin North. was yesterday brought before Mr.

been drawn by his former master, Mr. Turner, of Percy-
street, Bedford-square. He was remanded.

tE i so Pn o s Ne De
has
time ago a rate was proposed for defraying a few of those
little items, all enjoyment of which, except that of contri-
buting to, has been carefully denied to Dissenters. Well--
the Noes had it by a great majority of hands, and a poll
was demanded by the Ayes, which poll was agreed to close
at four o'clock the following day. Thanks to Sturges
Bourne's Act, which gives votes to stocks and stones, the
Churchmen found themselves about noontime in a small
majority. This was an opportunity not to be lost, and they
forthwith shut the books, under protest from the Dissenters
to the rate. The case has since been submitted by the latter
to Dr. Lushington, who has given an opinion decidedly in
their favour, and proceedings must therefore begin de novo.
In plain English they are regularly floored; and nothing can
exceed their consternation, except the joy of their opponents
at such an unlooked for result. This is as it should be :
if the Church requires the aid of money to maintain her
dignity, let her collect it from amongst her own disciples,
and not levy contributions upon those to whom, on every
other occasion, she refuses admittance within her pale.

TAIT'S MAGAZINE.

The straightforward, manly,eharacter of the princi-
ples and sentiments which distinguish this able and
powerfully written Periodical is familiar to every reader.
There is this advantage in noticing a Magazine which,
having earned public approbation by its public ser-
vices, uniformly sustains its high reputation by unre-
laxing zeal and undiminished talents, that we are not
compelled to review its contents in detail, or to pro-
nounce on each individual article our critical ca-
nons. When we say that as a whole the present
Number is equal to any of its predecessors, we pro-
nounce a high panegyric upon it. The December
Number is full of interest, and fastidious or tasteless
must that person be, who, in its varied pages, cannot
find both amusement and instruction. There is a
character of universality about it, which is as rare as
it is excellent and desirable : it supplies reading for all.
The political pioneer, entitled " State and Prospects
of Public Affairs at the close of the Year," developes
some rational views, and is marked less strongly by an
advocacy of extreme measures and ultra opinions than
some previous papers. There are three other political
papers, " The Progress of Political Corruption,"
The Economical and Social Progress of the Na-
tion," and " The Modern Andrew Marvel," besides
a continuation of the article on " The Effects of the
Reduction of Duty on the Liberal Newspapers in aug-
menting their Circulation." The first is full of facts, and
affords a repertory of valuable matters, to which reformers

Sir E RoE said they must be remanded for further evi-

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.

THE chief reasons whythe PATENT BR ANDY
has not superseded, in this country, the use of French Bran-
dies,—to which it is extremely similar in flavour, and of attested
superiority in quality,—are, the formidable opposition which, for a
considerable time, the dealers offered to its introduction ; and the
prejudices naturally excited by the continued attempts to force into
public notice articles of low price, or inferior quality. The pro-
gressive increase, fur the last ten years, in the sale of the Patent
Brandy, which is now going forward to an extent exceeding all
former precedent, clearly proves, that both these obstacles have
yielded to its intrinsic merit ; and, notwithstanding the advances
which have recently taken place in the prices of British and Foreign
Spirits, J. T. BETTS, and Co. have determined to continue their
supplies to the Public at the same price as formerly.
The Patentees sell no other article than Brandy ; and, as Dis-
tillers, they cannot send out less than two Gallons, which may be
obtained, either pale or coloured, for Cash on delivery, at Eighteen
Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the highest legal strength, at the
Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, leading to St. John-street—
their only Establishment.

TO THE TIMBER TRADE.

ANTI-DRY-ROT COMPANY.
KYAN'S PATENT,
For the PRESERVATION of TIMBER, CANVASS, CORD-
AGE, &c., from DRY ROT, MILDEW, and DECAY.
The Timber Trade are respectfully informed, that, by permicsion
of the Board of Customs, and pursuant to an arrangement with the
West India Dock Company, timber may be now removed from the
bonding yards and prepared at the tanks of the Anti-Dry Rot Com-
pany, South Dock, West India Docks.
This arrangement will at once enable the trade to meet orders
for exportation or home consumption with the greatest promptitude ;
and it will only be necessary for the holders of wood goods to address
their orders to the West India Dock Company, who will deliver
them at the tanks and receive them back again and repile them ;
the expense of removal, preparing the goods, and repiling, to be
paid on delivery.
The Directors of tht Anti-Dry Rot Company pledge themselves
that every possible attention shall be paid to the proper preparation
of timber ; and they feel it incumbent on them to call the attention
of the trade to the important fact, that after undergoing the process
the goods may remain any length of time, either in pile or afloat,
perfectly secure from decay.

So does mine.
My heart stops with terror, and my eyes
Seem parting from their sockets ; my brain reels
While I look on ; and while I look, each time
I swear I ne'er will look again. But when
They battle boldly, and the people shout,
And the poor creatures look so fearless—frowning
Not groaning—when they are hurt :—indeed 'tis noble I
Oh ! I must see them.

BTARTACUS.

Well, I am here,—
Among these beasts of Rome—a spectacle.
This is the temple where they mock the gods
With human butchery—most grand, glorious
Of structure and device. It should have been a cave—
Some foul and midnight pit—or den of bones,
Where murder best might veil himself from sight—
Women and children, too, to see men die,
And clap their hands at every stab. This is
The boastful excellence of Rome. I thank the gods
There are barbarians.

We will next quote the passages in which Thrace is de-
scribed as before, and after a Roman invasion. They are,
perhaps, the most poetical in the drama.

JOVIUS.
Man do not war on women. Name her ransom.

SPARTACUS.

Men do not war on women. Look you—
One day I clim'd upon the ridgy top
Of the cloud-piercing Hwmus, where—among
The eagles and the thunders—from that height
I look'd upon the world as far as where,
Wrestling with storms, the gloomy Eusine chafed
On his recoiling shores, and where dim Adriee
In her blue bosom quench'd the fiery sphere.
Between those surges lay a land, might once
Have match'd Elysium, but Rome had made it
A Tartarus.—ln my green youth I looked
From the same lofty peak where now I stood,
And then beheld the glory of those lands
Where peace was tinkling on the shepherd's bell,
And singing with the reapers.
Since that glad day, Rome's conquerors had past
With withering armies there ; and all was changed :
Peace had departed, howling war was there
Cheer'd on by Roman hunters: then methought
Even as I look'd upon the alter'd scene,
Groans echoed through the valleys thro' which ran
Rivers of blood, like smoking Phlegethons
Fires flash'd from burning villages, and famine
Shriek'd in the empty corn fields. Women and children,
Robb'd of their sires and husbands, left to starve ;
These were the dwellers of the land. Say'st thou
Rome wars not then on women?

JOVIUS.

This is not to the matter.
SPARTAC CS.

Now, by Jove,
It is these things do Romans—but the earth
Is sick of conquerors—there's not a man
Not Roman but is Rome's extremest foe :
And such am I sworn, from that hour I saw
These sights of horror, while tho Gods support me
To wreak on Rome such havoc as Rome wreaks—
CarnacTe and devastation; woe and ruin
Why should I ransom when I swear to slay ?
tJovius shows by action he is about to speak.
. . .

Begone, this is my answer.
Th• following passage is curious, as having been applied
by a crowded audience to the Whigs and their adherents,
and received with peals of applause :#

DEPATURES.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.
The past week's arrivals of all descriptions of Grain were
moderate, and of Flour not considerable. The trade mani-
fests a tendency to higher prices. This morning the supply
of Wheat from Essex has been good, but moderate from other
parts; and of all other Corn the show of samples has been
middling. The quantity of fine Wheat that now comes to
market scarcely equals the weekly wants of the millers, and
the demand being free, a further advance of 2s. to 3s. per
quarter has been realized on the terms of last Monday for
nearly all descriptions. Barley for malting is Is. per quarter
higher, but grinding parcels have met no improvement. Beans
of both descriptions have firmly maintained last quotations;
old parcels sold freely, but new being tender went off slowly.
Boiling and Grey Pease are each 2s. per quarter higher than
this day se'nnight. The demand for Oats is fully equal to the
present supply, and this article has advanced full Is. per
quarter since last Monday. As usual there has been much
difference of opinion about the top price of Flour, but it is con-
sidered as settled at 50s. per sack.

UNION-HALL.

A poor old man, bearing the same name as our immortal
bard, William Shakspeare, was brought up in a dying state
from the station-house of the P division in Lock's-fields,
having been discovered lying down in a field adjacent to the
Old Kent-road, in an almost helpless state, but whether
proceeding from the effects of liquor or from disease, could
not be ascertained. About two o'clock that morning a
policeman saw the old man in the first instance, walking
slowly along the Kent-road, and considering that he was
going home did not interfere with him ; but some time
afterwards hearing groans proceed from a field by the road-
side, lie went and found the old man lying down, and ap-
parently in a very bad condition. The policeman seeing
him in this situation, benumbed with cold, conveyed him
to the station-house, and a medical man having been sent for,
he, upon looking at the old man, was of opinion that his ill-
ness proceeded from the effects of liquor and exposure to
the cold. The old man was, therefore, placed near the fire,
and after some little time he became sufficiently recovered to
state his name William Shakspeare, and that he was on his
way to Chatham, when he was taken so ill that he could
proceed no further than the place where he was found. He
however, relapsed into his former state, and in the morning
was conveyed on a stretcher from the station-house to this
office. Upon his arrival here he was perfectly insensible,
and as the case seemed to he one of an urgent nature, Mr.
Wedgewood, the Magistrate, sent to the Dispensary next
to the office to request the attendance of the medical offi-
cer of that Institution. When this-gentleman arrived, he
pronounced that the old man was sinking fast, and recom-
mended that he might be forthwith sent to one of the hos-
pitals, as the only hope of saving his life. The old man
was accordingly conveyed thither, but such is his condition
that but slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. The
only clothes be had on were a short jacket and a pair of
thin canvass trousers, which, together with a pair of old
high-low shoes, all broken, constituted the whole of his ap-
parel.

There is certainly no poetry of a high order in these
passages, but there is more sound sense and vigour than in
any thing to be shown in Virginias, or William Tell, or the
Provost of Bruges.
* This is a very allowable inference for our Tory Con-

levelled by the audience at his own friends, the Ultra Tories.

SPARTACUS.
AN UNPUBLISHED TRAGEDY BY DR. BIRD.

(From the Carlton Chronicle.)
We have been favoured with the loan of the MS. copy of
this tragedy, and shall present our readers with a few ex-
tracts from the dialogue, which may enable them to judge
of its literary merits. Touching the plot and general cha-
racter of the drama we have already written in this journal.
Spartacus was the first literary production of Dr. Bird.
It is not a good play, quite the contrary : yet we think it is
full of promise, and that promise we understand has been
fulfilled. Nature intended not Dr. Bird for a poet, but we
are by no means surprised, after reading Spartacus, to learn
that he has won fame as a novelist and an essayist. There
are many evidences in the drama of right thinking and strong
thinking, and of right feeling and strong feeling. Take for
example the following passages in which the Thracian is
made to speak so truly of the demon-men of the de-
mon-fortress :

SPARTACUS.
[s not this Rome, the great city ?

BRACCHIUS.
Ay, and thou shouldst thank the Gods, they
Have suffered thee to see it, before thou diest.

SPARTACUS.
I heard of it when I was a boy among the hills
Piping to my father's flocks—they said, that
Spoke of it, it was the Queen of Cities, the
Metropolis of the world.—My heart grew big within
Me, to hear of its greatness, I thought those men
Who could make it so, were greater
Than men, they were—Gods 1
And are they not, sirrah 1

LENTULTJET.

lIPARTACUIP.
How many Palaces, that look like the habitations
Of Divinities, are here about me—Here are the
Marble mountains that have been hewn down
And shaped anew for men to dwell among
Gold and purple, and a million of men thronging
The pillar'd hills.

BRACCHIUS.
And what think'st thou now thou hast seen it ?
STARTACV3.
That if Romans had not been fiends, Rome had
Never been great.—Whence came this greatness
But from the miseries of subjugated nations?
How many myriads of happy people, people
That had not wrong'd Rome, for they knew
Not Rome—how many myriads of these were
Slain like the beasts of the fields, that Rome
Might fatten upon their blood and become great.
Look ye, Roman, there's not a palace on these
Hills, that cost not the lives of a thousand
Innocent men : there is no deed of greatness
Ye can boast, but it was achieved upon the
Ruin of a nation ; there is no joy ye can feel

But its ingredients are blood end tears.
The following are equally just and true. The woman
and the warrior both speak as they should feel. Could
these bloody shows be exhibited now-a-days in Christian
countries, the lady-lovers of deep tragedies and bull-fights
would speak even as the Praetor's niece.
London, England, 1836-10-31

. -
however, confess to have drank it more times than we
care to enumerate. The resemblance between it and a
Cabinet
Minister of our day is so remote that we
never could discover it.
This volume includes a history of the Whig and
Tory factions, from their rise after the Restoration, till
the accession of the House of Brunswick. The author
than
the outset professes himself a greater admirer of Whig
of Tory principles ; and we are sometimes in-
clined to think, that his apprehension of appearing
Partial to the Whigs has led him to gloss over some of
the foulest stains on the historical character of the
Torus, This is peculiarly obvious in his chapter on
the forced abdication of James, and the conduct of the
Tory courtiers on the landing of the Prince of Orange
in England. James was a cruel, heartless despot ; but
those who betrayed him were the men by whose coun-
cils he was encouraged to trample upon the Constitu-
tion, the Laws, and the Religion of this country. The
,end Was just and laudable, but the means were execra-
°le. As for the Whigs, they never supported James ;
and therefore they cast no stain upon their public cha-
racter or their principles, as a party, by opposing him.
The most important portion of this work is yet to
be written. Great labour will be required to finish it
80 as to leave nothing to be desired by the future
historian.

FINE ARTS.

rDERINGS IN SOUTH WALES. PORTS L, IL

Tilt, London, 1836.
The engravings in these two Numbers show skill and
Industry, though in the view of " Chepstow Castle and
the river Wye" them is a stiffness and harshness in the
trees that crowd the river's bank, and bend as if they
were made of wire, which, with a little more pains-
taking might have been avoided. The literary illus-
trations are from the pen of Mr. Roscoe, a traveller
who seems endowed with übiquity, for we find him one
day in Spain ; the next in North Wales, scrambling
over the mountain range of Snowden ; and the next
Paying a visit to the Devil's Bridge, in Cardiganshire.
We hope in his future sketches of South Wales he will
make a point of dOing justice to the sublime but little
trodden district of the Carmarthenshire Black Moun-
tains. He will find at Llyn-y-van a scene fully equal
io romantic grandeur to any he has met with in North
Wales ; but which, owing to its lying far away from the
ordinary track of tourists, who are too apt to follow
blindly in each other's steps, has not yet had justice
'tone it.
