the following distressing circumstances:—
The father, who is a labouring man, and of very re-
spectable appearance, stated that the boy was his
favourite son, and he had done everything in his
power
to reclaim him from his evil courses. He had fallen
into bad company, and since that period had been a
continued seurce of trouble and anxiety to his parents,
whom he bad taken every opportunity of pinneering.
The poor man added thr.r his son had been frequently
13,10 r.: sewer al phc,-cocir!•:, charged with theft;
and Once it cost hire; (~itce,) to
pay a solicitor
on his account, and this he could ill Or, ird. About a
month since he got hold of a sum of money belong-
ing to his mother, and ran away with it. Yesterday his
mother gave him some silver to buy some grocery art
cies with, but he again ran away with the money, an
finding him to be perfectly incorrigible, he was compelleu
to bring him before the magistrate to see if anything
could be done with him.
The lad, during this statement, uite un-
moved at his poor father's distress, and perfectlyp careless
as to the results. a most Mr. BALLANTINE observed that this was
affecting case. He was lothe to send so juvenile an
offender to prison, where the chances were that he would
only become a confirmed thief. He should order him
be remanded for a week, and directed that a notice
should be placed on the commitment stating that he
to be kept in solitary confinement, and in the interim he
would consider what could be done with him.
The father thanked the magistrate, and retired.

art,e blest productions of some of the most eminent
lsts now living. There are marine drawings by

Stanfield, landscapes and architectural exte-
a "rs by David Roberts, wooded views by Leitch,
,rehitectural interiors and dramatic scenes b• Gear; e

gle lithographic engravings, in the periodical now

ti,ich splendid serial we have already ourselves no-
d/,i(7, hi words of merited commendation. At present
e have no opportunity of doing more than indivi-
thZ"sing three of these embellishments, but they are
til" of such exquisite beauty, as to be equivalent to
brree score. First of all, by priority of merit and
cedence of genius, there is a delicious
thelifield--- a delineation of Edinburgh, from
about Leith Roads. The whole view has
tif,ll:t it a saline freshness utterly indescriba-
e in language; and the variety of the sky is only
bridled by the dazzling undulations of the water,
wath harmonising exquisitely in tone. Such a sea-
abdrd 'view of Edinburgh is pleasant to look upon ;
So too is the view taken from the parapets of the
jiit.le—the historic castle—by Roberts. There is
ciela this remarkable sketch ; the distances are ren-
ital'ell with no forgetfulness of the increased depth of
in nmere which intervenes at each removal. Look-
tilg at this drawing by Roberts, the magnificence of
cle,llnrthern capital bursts upon the imagination with
thitTe Pleasantness of novelty ; and the mind irre-
bly calls to recollection that poetic sentence of
4zeolate Victor Hugo, in his "Notre Dame de Paris,"
eat he is describing old Paris from the roof of the
at hiral—" At night, it is the breathing of the city;
thj°°ll, it is the talking of the city; and now, while
ea_ bells in the church turrets are ringing in

betr°l3l 10 to 14 guineas per cent. There had always

C,itiell and on foreign ships. The general opinion of
kliderwriters was that a difference should be made in
bhetie of the former. Six per cent. was usually paid on
tch ships trading between Holland and Java.

that the German waters, so far from ameliorating his

Belgium appears to be on the eve of a change of Mi-

to add today to what we have already Stated relative to
the Ministerial situation, but we can confirm the leading
fact—the retirement of the Cabinet. Nothing, however,

just as little as to the men who are to compose the new
