STANDARD NOVELS, NO.IV.—THADDEUS
of WARSAW, (just published.)—When " Thaddeus of
Warsaw," and the " Scottish Chiefs," works to which
Madame DE &ram. gave the appellation of " epics in
prose," appeared, little could it have been foreseen that
they would prove, as it is now on all hands admitted that
they did prove, the prototype of those " Waverley
Novels," which have tended to cipread far and wide the
fame of our national literature. They were both published
in England, and translated into various languages abroad,
many years before the " literary wonder of Sco'land" gave
to the world the first of that series which may be truly
said to have created an epoch in our annals. A new
and cheap edition, therefore, of the first of these tales of
patriotism, will be entitled to eminent rank in the list of
English Standard Novels.
Sir JAMES MACINTOSH, in the narrative of
the plot of Perkin Warbeck, speculates, with his usual
sagacity, upon the turpitude of Sir ROBERT CLIFFORD, as
a witness suborned to effect the execution of STANLEY,
first Earl of Derby. The speculations of Sir JAMES are
borne out by a document that seems to have escaped his
attention. In a manuscript roll from the Remembrancer's
office, is an account of the privy-purse expenses of HENRY
AIL, in which there is an entry of the (for that time)
enormous sum of 1300/., paid to Sir ROBERT CLIFFORD,
without mentioning for what service. The succeeding
entry is curious ; "To W. HOTON and 11. WonF.Foan,
for bringing of Sir R. CLIFFORD, in rewarde,26/. 13s. 4d."
10/. was the fee, from time immemorial, paid by a Peer to
the executioner who struck off his head with the axe. In
this roll there is an entry, " To Sir W. STANLEY, at his
execution, 101." When Lord W. RUSSELL was going to
the scaffold, he asked a by-stander what was the customary
fee to the executioner ? " 101," was the reply, and he
immediately took the money from his purse and paid it to
the man who held the axe on the scaffold.

grand tournament was given on Tuesday
by the officers of the 12th Lancers at the Royal Barr icks,
Dublin. The nobility and nearly all the respectability of
Dublin were present.—Dublin Morning Register.
