SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The Tories have a sad knack of anticipating
in some instances, however they may delay in others ;
and though very back Ward in declaring their own views,
they are4mceeuingly forward in construing- the motives
and intention,. of her Majesty. The other day they
wanted tozirite the Queen's Speech—an arrangement
which they hinted would have been in the highest de-
gree acceptable to the Sovereign, who, it is,alleged, is so
well disposed towards a Tory Ministry, that her private
wish was to have said, on the opening of Parliament,
exactly what Sir Robert Peel thinks she ought to say.
This morning we are told that her Majesty's neces-
sary absence from the House of Lords arises from
nothing at all but a determination not "to be dragged
through the mire" by her present Ministers. We are
at a loss to conjecture where " the mire " is to be found
which her Majesty would be compelled to encounter, un-
less it be the Tory majority in the new Parliament ; but
we suppose we must regard the expression as one of
those " lively" metaphors which our polite contemporary
has the unhappy propensity of bringing up from the
depot at Billingsgate. Where our contemporary gets his
information of the personal wishes of the Sovereign, we
should be glad to learn; for if there are any of the servants
of the palace; who make up stories to tell the footmen,
who tell the housemaids, who tell the butchers' boys,
who tell the omnibus cads, who tell the newspaper boys,
who tell the Post's printer's devil, who tells the Editor,
the practice ought, for the sake of our gullible and gos-
siping neighbour, to be put a stop to as speedily as possi-
ble. But let us seriously ask the Tory organ what would
have been the nature of its contents if, in the present
situation of her Majesty, she had been advised to meet
in person the new Parliament ? No insults would have
been too gross, no allusions too indelicate, to have been
applied to the act ; and even the vituperative faculties
of the Tory Journalists would have needed refreshing
at these fountains of coarseness and impurity which
flowed daily and nightly through their columns at the
period when the unfortunate.affair of the late lamented
Lady Fort Hastings gave an excuse for calumny against
the. Queen and the Court, under the pretext of sympathy.
-STANDARD.—The Globe of last evening contains
tho following apparently official announcement :
" As, in her Majesty's present condition, any under-
taking involving anxiety or fatigue might prove inju-
rious, we understand that Dr. Locock has interposed his
veto ; and that the new Parliament will be opened by
Commission, instead of by the Queen in person."
It would thus appear that her Majesty will not
open the first session of the new Parliament
in person. We rejoice, however, that we are
enabled to. --gray the anxiety which the above
intimation is calculated to excite, by stating,
which we do on unquestionable authority, that her
Majesty is in the best possible health, and that there
is no snore pretext for the apprehension that the
fatigue of opening Parliament in person will be more
injurious to her -now than there has been on any of the
previous occasions on which she has proved herself so
fully equal;to the exertion. Last year, it will be remem-
bered, her Majesty prorogued Parliament in precisely
the same " condition," without suffering the slightest
inconvenience from the effort ; and the anxiety she
has manifested on all similar occasions to undertake
this duty in person, and the. energy with which she has-
invariably performed it, fOrbid the belief that she would
not delis er the Speech from the Throne herself, on
Wednesday tiext, (lid not circumstances wholly uncon-
nected with the state of her health preclude her from so
doing. It is, indeed, most agreeable to her Majesty's
loyal subjects to believe that she has been deterred from
appearing in Parliament in person, not by the state
of her health., "or by her apprehension of fatigue,
but` by her unwillingness to perform the unpleasant
task her Ministers have imposed upon her. It is
wit ithprobable, moreover, that her "Majesty may have
been further influenced in her determination by the im-
pudent and indecent boasts of the Ministerial journals,
not only of the certainty of her appearance in the House
of Lords on Tuesday, bat of the " marked manner" in
which she would declare her approbation of the late
budget, and eo_mmend it to the notice of Parliament.
However graif the disappointment to which her absence
will give rise, the consciousness that she has been spared
a portion of the mortification which her Ministers would
have imposed upon her will fully compensate for it.

We are glad to hear that the Crown has granted
a pension of 1001. a year to the widow of Mr. James, the
naval historian. The Lords of the Admiralty, particu-
larly Sir Charles Adam, strongly recommended Mrs.
James's memorial to the Treasury.
EXAGGERATION OF ANCIENT STATUES.—
In specimens of statues left us by the ancients, we see
something that always fascinates us, at the same time
that we find everything exaggerated in them. The rea-
son is thus happily explained by Mr. Abernethy:—
" The ancients did exaggerate in their statues ; but then
there was so much grace in their exaggeration that you
did not see it, but you were fascinated ; their foreheads,
fur instance. Look at them, and you see them coming
forward, they overhang the rest of the face. 'You see
they do not shelve away, they are broad and expanded.
Animals, the brutes, have scarcely any fbrehead3 ; the
monkey's forehead recedes, and the dog's head falls
back completely. The ancients, therefore, with rea-
son, gave a full projecting forehead to their statue.s,
to dignify them—to mark, as it were, the strik-
ing difference there was between man and other ani-
mals. Now the eyebrow is quite peculiar to man—no
other animal bas it : the ancients laboured that part of
the human countenance with extraordinary care; for it
is particularly adapted to convey expression. The
eyes, too, they managed in the same way. Some of the
inferior animals have their eyes so brought forward on
the surface of their face, that they can see sideways,
they can see around them,. and even behiad tkem ;
whiOx is a sign of a suspicious, apprehensive, aithous,
disi)sition. The ancients gave to the faces of their
statutes eyes that - looked straightly and directly upon
you—that look sternly forwarp ; and they did this
in order to convey to the beholder, that the
originals felt the very reverse of , timidity, of
apprehension, anti-suspicion. Then the nose. Man has a
peculiar one : it has a bridge in it ; all other animals
want the nose as it is in man. Those animals, instead
of a nose, have a snout—it is a snout, not a nose. Now
the ancients, in their heads, attended greatly to the
nose ; they placed the bridge of it very high in the face;
they placed it above the centre of the orbit of the eyes.
Theytreeks brought the nose straight down—the Ro-
snans gave it a bend upwards ; they arched it, thinking
that to be the handsomest form. The nostrils they made
as little like a snout as possible. In the statues of the
ancients you see the mouth made in a peculiar way; it
is, sato speak, as little like a devouring aperture as "los-
aible•, they knew it was made for articulating, for express-
ing thoughts by language ; and they made it as exrefes-
sive as they could. The lips were made muscifinr and
strong. Brutes, we find, have no chins ; s a
the face peculiar to men. The ancients,
were very par-
ticular about it, and formed it lap
.- part of
ge and expressive.
Now, if you could put all featn:
es on
paper, you- would
have the countenance of Jr.,p-iter Olympus himself. The
ancients, however, did uot.give the same face to all their
thstat atues
the ; it is quit', true what Dr. Spurzheim said of them,
hiloP y kn:.:w much better than to place the head of a
p,opker npon the shoulders of a gladiator."
4.IIERITED RETORT.—Madame D. had a mag-
uificant cat. M. de C. amused himself one day by
Itilliag it, for want of something else to shoot. Madame
D. caused to be set in her own house, and in the houses
of her friends, all sorts of mouse-traps ; and when three
or four hundred mice were caught, she had them put
into a box, which was forwarded to Madame de C. at
)Ler country-house. The lady eagerly opened the bax
ierself, expecting- to find in it some new modes ; the
mice jumped out and presently filled the house ; while
at the bottom of the box was found a note directed to
Madame de C. :—" Madame, your husband has killed
my cat—l send you my mice."—Alphonse Karr.
SALMON AND GRILSE.--The river Tweed,
from Berwick to Kelso, has for some time past been lite-
rally teeming with salmon and grilse. On Sunday night,
about eight o'clock, hundreds were seen passing up the
river at the Ferry, at Sprouston, and other shallow
parts, _and on Monday morning great numbers were
observed making their way from Maxwheel through
the different arches of Kelso-bridge ; and above
the bridge, where the river is very shallow at present,
they were seen in immense shoals ploughing their way
up the water. Altogether it was a novel and interest.
ing sight, and shows clearly the unprecedented number
of fish which must be at the mouth of the river. The
neighbouring markets have been abundantly supplied all
this week with fish of excellent quality, and at very mo-
derate prices. Salmon have been selling at 6d. to Bd.,
and grilses from sd. to 6d. per lb.—Newcastle Journal.

HOME CIRCUIT—Croydon, August 17.
PUNTER V. GRANTLEY.
The proceedings in the above cause were resumed this
morning.
Mr. THESIGER appeared for Lord Grantley, and after
giving a detail of all the circumstances of the ejection of
Punter, and the right of Lord Grantley to the cottage
(the particulars of which are well known to the public),
called the following witnesses :
George Trekner stated that he had lived in the Grant-
ley family for fifty-four years. Was gamekeeper from
the year 1796 to 1823. Recollected an auction taking,
place at the village public house in. 1795, when the cot-
tages were put up for sale by order of the parish officers.
One of those ec ttages was the subject of the present in-
quiry. It was knocked down to Mr. Head, Lord Grant-
ley's steward. Witness had frequently accompanied IN
Lordship to the cottage ; it was in a very dilapidated
state, and he had it repaired. Had frequently accom-
panied hiS Lordship to the cottage from that period to
the time of his death in 1822 • and during that period
he had ordered it to be repaired several times ; it was
once or twice thatched ; a new staircase was made,
and vines were planted in the garden, all by his Lord-
ship's directions. Never recollected Mr. Head being
overseer of the parish. About thirty years ago there was
a walnut-tree in the garden, which was partly dead, and
he heard his Lordship give Mrs. Punter leave to have it
cut down for firewood.
Cross-examined—Was still in the service of Lord
Grantley. Had frequently talked with him on the sub-
ject of the present action. At the last trial he stated
that he was not in the auction-room when the cottages
were sold. He was not present, but was told the cottage
was knocked down to Mr. Head. Did.not say anythinr,
about the walnut-tree at the last trial. He used to be
out very much with. old Lord Grantley.
Mr. Sergeant SHEA—He was very good to the poor, I
believe ? Witness—Very good indeed.
Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Always ready with a shilling for
any poor person that wanted one ? Witness—Yes, he
gave a great deal away. I have, by his directions, given
as much as a pipe of wine a year to the poor, besides
large quantities of coals and wood. The old gentleman
was a widower. He was very fond of shooting, and
generally on his return, as, well as, at other -times, would
call and have a gossip at Punter's. He was never above
speaking to the poor. When. his Lordship went hit° the
house, of course he (witness) had to remain outside.
Could not recollect how long he used to stop at the
cottage. Sometimes he went there two or three times a
week.
Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Perhaps a little oftener ? Wit-
ness (shaking his head)—Oh, .no ; he was a very old
man.—(Loud laughter.) On one occasion his Lordship
desired him to order a hole in the stairs to be mended.
Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Did he not say that the hole
must be mended because he had put his foot into it ?
Witness—l don't recollect that.
Ann Collingham stated that her aunt formerly owned
the cottage in, question. In 1792 she (the aunt) was sent
to St. Luke's, but returned in about a year, and went
back to her cottage, where she remained some time, but
again becoming insane, she was removed to the work-
house, and the parish sold her goods. Did not of her
own knowledge know what was done with the cottage.
Frederick Wills, late an overseer of the parish, said he
did not recollect the sale of the cottage, but produced one
of the parish cash-books, in which was an entry to the
following effect, in the handwriting of Mr. Head :
" Received 101. 10s. for house in lane." The date
was 1795.
Mr. Sergeant SHEA objected to the book being re-
ceived in evidence, and it was consequently withdrawn.
Abraham Punter, an elder brother of the plaintiff,
stated that he recollected his father going to live in the
cottage; and he also recollected hearing his mother say—
Mr. Sergeant SHEA objected to anything said by his
mother.
Witness recollected Lord Grantley having the cottage
repaired from time to time. His father was in the work-
house for the last two or three years of his life, and died
there, but his mother resided in the cottage during that
time. Recollected his brother (plaintiff) going to the
cottage after his father's death. His mother continued
to reside in the cottage, but was eventually turned out
by the plaintiff; and she then went to reside with her
daughter, Mrs. Edwards. His mother had been dead
about four years.
Cross-examined—His brother Thomas was about the
cottage at the time, and built an additional room to it
for the plaintiff. Witness did not claim the cottage for
himself ; it was Lord Grantley's, as far as he knew.
Daniel Edwards stated that he married a sister of the
plaintiff's twenty-nine years ago ; previous to that he was
in the habit of going to the cottage to visit her for seven
or eight years. At that time old. Punter and his wife
lived there. Witness lived in the cottage with them for
two or three years after he was married. Never saw old
Lord Grantley in the cottage, but had frequently seen
him near it in the lane. Old Punter was at home some-
times, but the old girl was always master of him.—
(Laughter.) Recollected the cottage being repaired a
second time by Lord Grantley about twenty-six years
ago. About three years before her death Mrs. Punter
went to his house late one night and slept there. After
that she never went back to the cottage. She complained
of having been turned out, and said that John (the plain-
tiff) had come home very rabid, and turned her out. ' He
(witness) believed, however, that he did not turn her out.
Cross-examined—The old woman had a pretty good
temper of her own.
Mr. Thomas Butcher stated that he formerly lived at
Norcote, a farm very near the plaintiff's cottage ; recol-
lects one night about 26 years ago. hearing an alarm from
Mrs. Punter's grand-daughter ; in consequence he went,
accompanied by some of his servants, to the cottage, and
saw the old lady standing in the field ; he was not very
close to her, but she appeared to be in her night-dress ;
the plaintiff was also there ; he appeared to be in a great
passion, and was swearing.
Henry Killick, gardener to the late Lord Grantley,
planted some vines in the cottage garden about 28 years
ago, by direction of his Lordship.
William Grants, a carpenter, repaired the stairs at the
cottage many years ago, by direction of Lord Grantley ;
he also did some work there in 1820.
David Catlin, thatched the cottage by his Lordship's
directions 28 or 30 years ago.
Charles Pampfield, knew of the cottage being thatched
at the expense of his Lordship, once about 30 years ago, and
a second time a few years subsequently. The chips
were gathered from Lord Grantley's osier beds.
Susan Edwards said she slept with her grandmother,
old Mrs. Punter, whilst she was at the cottage ; left it
about seven years ago ; recollected the plaintiff coming
home one night very drunk; when she (witness) went in
he was kicking up a row, and swore he would make a
slaughter ; she got out of the window into the field, and
her grandmother followed her, and they then went to
her (witness's) father's.
James Wynne stated that he resided at Wonersh some
time ago; recollected hearing the plaintiff say one night
that Mr. Head had applied to him for rent for the cot-
tage, and unless some one paid it for him, he should be
turned out. He further said, that he had applied to the
parish, and they had promised to pay it for him, and de-
sired him not to trouble himself further about it.
Wm. Hill said he recollected the cottage being sold by
the parish in 1795. At that time a person of the name
of Hetherington was living in it, but soon after it was oc-
cupied by old Punter. A few years since ho recollected
that the plaintiff contemplated building an oven ; he was
asked how he intended to pay for it, and he said that he
should cut down the fir-tree and sell it. A person who
was present, told him he had better have a little advice
before he did so, or he might get himself into trouble.
A month or two afterwards he again saw him, when he
said he had had some advice about the tree, and had de-
termined not to cut it down, as it belonged to Lord
Grantley, who had bought it of the parish.
Henry Hughes stated that in the year 1834 he went
with Mr. Harland into a field where the plaintiff' was at
work. Mr. Harland told him that his Lordship had sent
him to know whether he would pay a small trifle for the
rent of the cottage he was living in. He replied that he
would not pay a farthing ; the property was key-hold ;
he had got possession, and would not give any acknow-
ledgment whatever. In the course of the same year the
fir-tree was cut down by direction of his Lordship.
Witness received instructions to assist from Mr. Har-
land. After it was cut down it %vs carried to his Lord-
.
ship's wood yard.
Mr. Butcher was recalled, and stated that he consi-
dered the cottage was worth about 301. or 40/.
lt,y the Jury—To build it as it was before, with the
old materials, would cost about 301.
Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said it could not be put in
precisely the same state ; besides, the materials were
removed.
