TORY LANDLORDS AND THE POLICE.- A
Tcry peer, Lord Bradford, invited his tenants to dine si di
him in honour of his son and heir's majority, and actn—ly
surrounded his dinner-table with a police force for the p rr-
pose of preserving the peace, and saving his property tr int
plunder To what a low condition must not his tens Its
hisVC fallen in his Lordship's estimation that it should Ims
necessary to guard his own dinner-table from their der c,-
dations. Yet this is the natural consequence of a syE, 4ln
of coercion on the one side, and of degrading depend?. ce
on the other. Mark the difference in the cases of Lite -al
landowners ! Contrast the festive assemblies of the
antries of the Dukes of Sutherland and Clevelar
Lords Ilatherton, Lichfield, Stafford, and Shrews., f,
with the police-protected meeting of the vassals ( ae
Earl of Bradford ! These noblemen have a pride i co
independence of their tenants. They expect their sue
from them, but they ask no more.—Staffordshire
THE NEW NAVAL NOVEL.-It is long "'ce
we had a good naval novel, and still longer since tts
appeared with so promising a title as that of " The N
Surgeon," which is just announced as from the popular
pen of the author of " Cavendish," " The Flying Dut-h.,
man," &c. The peculiar opportunities which are raps 'ad
by the position of a " Naval Surgeon" for observing Its
varied and singular features of a nautical life under al: its
circumstances of peril or of pleasure, will no doubt be
turned to due account by this clever writer, who:T "en
has been no less successful in depicting the rough rcali
its
than the high and exciting romance of a sailor's I !a.
It is understood that one of the chief features in 'ire
plot of " The Naval Surgeon" is founded on a most 'ex-
traordinary case of circumstantial evidence which, oc-
curred some time ago in the Criminal Court of n Th'
bouring country, and was fraught with the most let,. nog
and absorbing interest, on account of the rank end 44(.-
tion of all the parties.
