E.— The Fatal Dozory was
sit:l:le more familiar to the language, and
more easy in their characters. The more this
masterly play is heard, the stronger will be its
impression, and its superiority, compared with
The Fair Penitent, he obvious. The sentiments
are natural, some of the scenes very pathetic, and
the whole excites a deep interest. It excited
great attention and much applause during the
representation.

LITERARY NOTICE.

TRIAL of the Rev. ALEXANDER FLETCHER, A.M.,
before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the COURT of Com-
MON SENSE and a Special Jury. By the A uTuoa of the
Trial of the Rev. EDW. IRVING, A.M.

Though the title of this Brochure shows that
it is rather to be considered as a humorous corn.
position, than as a formal legal report, yet all
the main facts of the case are introduced, and
the arguments founded on them in support of the
plaintiff are sound and irrefutable. The cause is
stated to have been heard in the " High Court of
Common Sense, St. Alexander's Day, Retribu-
tion Term, 1824, DICK V. FLETCHER. The
names of the Jurymen summoned for the trial in
this fictitious Court are Sir Walter Scott, Sir
William Curtis, Sir James Mackintosh, Sir Jas.
A bercromby, J. W. Croker, Kirkman Finlay-,
Thomas Campbell (the Poet), Thomas Moore
(ditto), Samuel Rogers (ditto), John Galt,
William Blackwood (bookseller), John Blythe.,
Esq. Exceptions were made by the Coun-
sel for the prosecution to Colonel Berkeley,
Lord William Lennox, Mr. Calcraft, M. P.,
and Joseph Ilayne, Esq. " The Jury being
asked whom they made choice of for their
foreman answered with one voice Sir WAL-
TER SCOTT." Mr. LAW stated the case, in
which he gave an accurate report of the main
facts. Mr. PHILLIPS then rose to address the
Jury. His speech is long and masterly. It con-
sists of a very eloquent animadversion on the
conduct of Mr. FLETCHER, which admits of no
adequate reply. Mr. SCA►tLETT rises for the
defendant, and displays great ingenuity, but is
unable to parry the force of facts, or the solidity
of the arguments. At length 'Mr. FLETCHER
himself comes forward, but his specious sophistry
makes no impression on the Court. The Judge
sums up with candour and judgment, se-
verely reprobating the conduct of the defendant,
The Jury retire for five minutes, and Sir WAL-
TER, on their return, says, " My Lord, we unani-
mously find the defendant Guilty upon the whole
counts of the indictment." Such is this trial
which, with a mixture of truth and humour, is a
work of considerable merit. To render it mwe
interesting, the whole of the correspondence
which passed between the plaintiff and the de-
fendant, with the letters of their respective
friends are given in the Appendix. Mr. PHIL-
LIPS has reason to be satisfied with the Reporter
of this ludicrous yet serious trial, who has given
him an admirable speech in point of oratorical
grace, as well as in sound and impressive argu-
mentation.

POETRY.

PROLOGUE,
Occasioned by the Report that Dr. Jorrarscor's Tragedy oi
InExz was to be revived at Covent-Garden Theatre.

HY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ.

Who shall presume to-night the work to blame
That bears the stamp of JOHNSON'S awful name
A Bard who ne'er at Virtue's call would pause,
But still was prompt to vindicate her cause.
A " RAunLER," who, though oft by Fancy led,
Ne'er left the paths that Wisdom loves to tread.
An " IDLER," toiling with unceasing zeal,
To make mankind for Truth and Reason feel:
A CRITIC, who, with judgment sound, displays
The genuine worth of Bards of former days.
A MORALIST, whose pure and lofty strain
His aim through life was firmly to sustain.
To him we owe that FABRIC which shall stand
A Guide to mark the Language of the Land,
To prove its force, and form the British Page
A LIVING CLASSIC to the latest age.
With pride the relique of his genius aid,
And pay due homage to his mighty shade.
Thus for Departed Worth,---now let me say
The times impart new int'rest to the Play ;
The scene is GREECE, that land, renowu'd of yore,
Achich Heroes, Sages, Poets, Patriots, bore ;
Where FREEDOM now is struggling to regain
Her ancient Glories on her lov'd Domain,
That lov'd Domain which HISTORY, proud to name,
Assign:, for noblest Arts, to endless fame.
Prop then, with patriot pride, the cause to-night,
Of BRITISH GENIUS, and of GRECIAN RIGHT.

COVENT-GARDEN.--TILE MESSIAH, one of the
most sublime and affecting compositions of the
immortal HANDEL, was the performance at this
Theatre last night. We have not room to parti-
cularize the merits of the evening, but it would
be unfair to omit stating, that the airs, choruses,
&c. &c. were supported with general correctness,
energy, and powerful effect, fully deserving of
the applause which they received from a nu-
merous audience.

THEATRICAL FUND.—The tenth Anniversary
Dinner, for the benefit of the Theatrical Fund of Covent. Garden
Theatre, took place yesterday at Freemasons' Hall. The Duke
of YORK was in the Chair, supported on the right by the Earl
of Glengall, and on the left by Lord Normanby. On the re-
moval of the cloth the health of his Majesty was given, and the
rest of the Royal Family in succession. The Duke of York's
health was distinctly drank, and graciously acknowledged by his
Royal Highness. Mr. Fawcett, in stating the nature and beneficial
purpose of the Meeting, delivered a speech, agreeably varied
with humour and feeling, for which we regret the want of room.
The subscription for the day exceeded that on any former
occasion, amounting to 1,538/. lbs. The day passed with the
utmost conviviality.

LITERARY NOTICE.

USEFUL HINTS TO TRAVELLERS wing. to, or already
arrived in South America, and to Military Men, or Mer-
chants bound to the West Indies.
The regions of Mexico and South America are
now too eminently objects of interest to the
commercial speculators of this country not to
carry many persons thither who have never before
known the nature of those climates ; and, as sin-
cere friends to all such temporary emigrants
from more genial climes, we cannot but strong-
ly recommend to their attention this little vo-
lume, which has just appeared.
The contents fully justify the title-page, as
directions are given for health, cloathing, and
for providing personal comforts in every way;
while, on the whole, the general impression we
receive from the perusal of this valuable wide
mecum, professedly founded on experience, rather
cheers than excites alarm in the well advised
adventurer to the tropical skies. Some incidental
observations with regard to antidotes to poisons,
whether imbibed by the bites of noxious animals,
effluvia, or having beet► taken in wardly, are highly
interesting. As doubtless the vast sources that
are opened for mercantile adventures in the ex-
tensive countries which have shaken off the yoke
of Spanish tyranny will tempt travellers from all
parts of Europe as well as from Great Britain,
we conceive it a duty to mankind to recommend
the present work to general attention. The
rising Republics of South America want no ex-
citements to animate their patriotism, but as they
will derive essential advantage from the skill and
intelligence of those who remove from the matured
States of the Old World, whatever tends to the
preservation of life in those who visitthem, as ►•ell
as of themselves must promote their own improve-
ment in the useful arts of Europe, the enlarge-
ment of their commerce, the establishment of their
independence, and their elevation in the scale of
nations.

THE 46RTEEKS. - •

Erwron—l arta one of those who think
something might be done for the Greeks iivtibovii
way of negociation. I would not have this twirl-
' try involved in war again for any nation, or (4r'.
any cause if possible to avoid it, but Ido thusk
that either Great Britain or the Holy Alliance,
or both united, should use their endeavours to
bring about an arrangement between them and
Turks to prevent further bloodshed. It appears
to me to be shameful that in a Christian land.
which Europe is, and in the knowledge aild
neighbourhood of mighty Christian Princes, 3 o-
-4 millions of Greeks should he oppressed and
enslaved by 30 or 40 millions of Turks. L
former times such a circumstance would rouse al!.
Europe to their rescue. Those Quixotic notipp:3
are fortunately relinquished, but as much may his

done by negociation as hy force, if the Christian
Princes would use their endeavour. The Greeki

might surely be permitted to have the Morea

quiet possession, and some of the Islands in the

Archipelago, without their interfering with the
Turks or the Turks with them.

I am, Sir, &c.

J. G.

P. S. Look at the case of the Slave Trade. \;a
interfered, by negociation with the policy of other.;
nations to get that abolished, and' -why not inter..:
fere in the same way to relieve Christian Captive's ,
who will now, if they are conquered, lia“) no.
mercy shown to them. \V compelled the Deg of
Algiers in a hostile manner to release his Chris
tian Slaves, although very fey/ were our OWii
Countrymen, why then not interfere in a frintily
manner now. I hope, as a 111inister is going mit;
express to Constantinople, and another to St.
Petersburgh, that some such humane and cha-
ritable assistance is abort to he afforded them,
and that their appeal to us has not•been without:•
effect.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

(From the Australian.)
SYDNEY, A uu. 4.—The futile labours of the
Commissioners at l'arramatta ceased on Thursday
last,_after a wearisome and unproductive hives-
tigatlon of fourteen days. We hope that Lord
.Batharst in future will be more circumspect in
prescribing duties of this nature to the Official
Gentlemen of the colony. His Lordship's want
of knowledge of the state of the colony, and
of the occupation of those high characters
whom hi selected for the purpose of conduct.,
ing the late Inquiry, is the only excuse
that tan he pl.-ailed for setting on foot this
course of procedure, or intermeddling with
matters which ought not to have been noticed at
atl,:uttless noticed in a manner that might have
led to tangible results. It is truly absurd for the
Secretaty of the Colonies to set himself above the
ta*"itself, and on his own authority form a
Tribtinal, superseding an appeal to a Court of
-Law, though this alone could legally decide
pak of those complaints which were intended
'to be submitted to the Court of Honour—it
is truly absurd for his Lordship to make an ap-
peal• With all the solemnities of an impeachment
to the Governor, the Chief Justice, and the Arch-
deacon of a Colony, to decide where the weight
of honour lay between two Magistrates, when
any three respectable Gentlemen could have
arrived at the samt conclusion by a simple
reference. It is, however, the first folly of the
kind, and we heartily concur in the publicly ex-
pressed opinion of the Chief Justice, that as it is
the first that has happened, so it will prove the
last interruption of " that sort" which the business
of the public will pxperience. The opinion or the
judgment of the Commissioners will be forthwith
transmitted to Lord Bathurst. Should it appear
that this judgment unequivocally acquits Dr. Dou-
glass of the Charges brought against him, he will,
Immediately on the transmission of it home,
enter upon tit- duties of Secretary to the Coun-
cil, with his Salary of Eight Hundred a Year ;
-bet, on .the contrary, if any doubt exist in the
minds of the Court, the appointment will be with-
held 'till the pleasure of Lord Bathurst be known,
but Dr. Douglas will meanwhile receive the Half
of the Salary, Four Hundred a Year.

The annual Meeting of this Society, instittlitenuf
for the relief of distressed Schoolmasters and Ushers, aif
their widows and orphans was held yesterday at the Litt"-
Fund Society's chambers, in Lincoln's-Inn-fields.
From the statement of the Committee, it appeared,
though the Society has been established nearly thirty Yegnief
existence is not generally known ; and the applicants f0r.,100
have become far too numerous to derive any adequate sibs., of
its very limited resources. The more prosperous mew'.'in,
the profession, to some of whom the Institution owes its ! tel.
have contributed liberally to its support, but it is comp of
beyond their ability to bestow permanent assistance on ocsbie
their brethren as by age infirmity, or misfortune, are MI, oir
of maintaining themselves and their families. For th'-bgeo
pension or annuity, no decent or comfortable asylum b.nnce
provided, either by private bounty, or by public inummci, W-
and, with the exception of the Institution, no fund ev'i'sp••
which, with any reasonable prospect of success, they
ca
ply, even for temporary relief.
Among the donations received, was one from his DlA.lrlbsf:
of a hundred guineas ; in mentioning the receipt of whiF iled;
Chairman said he had reason to hope it would be coots:34o:
but even with this the total subscription for the Carel3t
amounted to only 2891. 16s. Joel°.
After the business of the Meeting had been adjusw-,„,.0rn
number of the Members adjourned to the Freelliasol3%'
to dinner. Among these Gentlemen were the Rev Par'arel"
srr.r. of the Charter House, the Rev. Dr. Dim °L s-b 111:
the Rev. Dr. BORNE': of Greenwich, Dr. Kul. LT Of F
of tpe,,
square, and several Clergymen who are firm friendsse
laudable Institution. Considering the meritorious Pli7,ot ob'
that Institution, it is much to be regretted that it does.v"ej
tain a more efficient support from those who have des of —I" the
advantages of education from ScifooLatasTEng, oustr; To
most useful, valuable, and respectable classes of sock
re
them the community are indebted for that instruction be of
gion, morals, and literature, which enables them roman 4
props and ornaments of the State, and an honour to how:00
ture. Every man who has been a scholar, and who old to
the means to increase the funds of the Society, ought,eoce,„tf:
it a duty of justice and gratitude, as well as of henei°oll's
render it all the pecuniary support that may be consiste
his situation and rank in life.

PRINTERS.—Another of the faolish combina-
tions in this part of the country has been broken
up, namely, that of the journeymen printers.—
This was one of the boldest of the associations;
and, i►► the face of the law, did not hesitate
to restrict the number of apprentices whlFh any
master was to take. Having sent anonymous
letters to intimidate apprentices, the leaders were
about to be made to answer for the. offence before
the Justices, when they assembled the members
of the combination, who decided, by sixteen to
nine votes, that the confederacy should be broken
up.--(Glasgow Chronicle.)

A GiscoN expressed his dread of the san-
guinary ROBESPIERRE in these words, " When-
ever I heard the name of ROBBSPI ERRE, I could
not help taking off my hat to see if my head was

in it."
A little girl, five years of age, was equally fond
of her mamma and grand mamma. On the birth-
day of the latter, her mother said to her, 46 My
dear, you must pray God to Hess your grand
mamma, and that she may live to be very old."
The child looked with some surprize at her
mother, who perceiving it, said, " Well, will you
not pray to God to bless your grand mamma, and
that she may become very old ?" " Ah, mamma I"
said the child, 46 She is very old already ;I will
`ratter pray that she may become young."
