Anil there is my sister% p o Prince of Orleans

would have them take of our affairs at home and abroad,

" Edmund would do his best to give them the desired
opin;ons. Dr. Reede thought it a pity they could not b?

now on board this very boat to
enderstand and share the King's views, and thus justify
the Government. As a burst of admiration at some of
the juggler's tricks made itself heard in the cabin at the
very moment this was said, the King again looked up to
see whether satire was intended.

Edmund supposed that one object of his projeeiteil
pamphlet was to communicate gently the fact of a secret
loan of 200,000 cromns from France, designed fur the
support of the war in Portugal, hut so immediately swal-
lowed up at home that it appeared to have answered no
snore purpose than a loin of so many pebbles, whi'e it
had subj-cted ihe nation to a degredation which the people

:vas a more important one still to be made. It could not
now long remain R secret that Dunkirk was in the hands
of the French-
" Dunkirk taken by the French !' exclaimed Dr.
Teede, not crediting what he beard. We are lost, indeed,
if the French make azgre,sinns like this.'

mutual agreement.'

care of the horse all the time he was in his possession he,
was used in the yeomanry, and sometimes was driven out.
Never saw any disease on him at all, and he always fed
well. The treatment of the horse by plaintiff was the
most likely thing in the world to kill the hone.
Joseph Guy was well acquainted with the horse in
question. The day after his master (defendant) sold it,
he saw it driven very rapidly from the Dover road about
nine o'clock in the evening. He had groomed the horse
at times, and considered it a very good, sound one. Hen-
wood, one of plaintiff's witnesses, came to defendant's
house, and said the horse bad been overdriven, and the
fetlocks were so swollen, that it was thought the pieces
must be cut out. Henwood also said he should lose his
place through the - horse, as he had recommended

it to the plaintiff,
Charles Bennett bad been 23 years a veterinary sur-
geon. Had known the horse all the time lie belonged to
defendant, and would have attended him had he been unwell,
but he was a bad cuseomer for him, for he never required
a single ball all the time. He was ordered to attend the
opening of the horse at 3 o'clock ; when he went there at
that hour, he found that it had already been done, and was
already skinned—he complained of that, and asked to see
the lungs. A pair was taken down from amongst thirty
others—the knacker's man said these are not what come
out of Mr. Perry's Be.
The master said they
were. They were very bad, but lie ha seen
some with the same appearance that had been
produced in a month. 'fhe horse to which the
longs he saw belonged, if he died on the 10th January,
could not possibly have done so much work as journies of
fifteen and twenty-one miles, on two separate days, within
three w,tka of its death. Had be been driven even at
seven miles an hour, he would have dropped down. When
a horse came from the grass, it might to go through a
course of physic; and it was murdering it to put it to
work immediately.
This was the case for the defence.
Lonostur said it was now proved even by Mr.
Bennet, that the disease had existed for a month ; the
sale was on the 17th of December, and the death was on
the 10th of January, therefore he thought the case clear

Arnow* the diplomatic on this now in circu

lation, is one that her Majesty Queen Christine of Spain,
prior to the death of his Catholic Majesty, caused very
extensive circubition to be given to a soft of appeal in
neltalf of the right of her daughter to the Crown of the
Indies. This appeal bore the title of "Reftaiones sobre el
derecho de la Infanta Donna Maria Isahelia Luisa al trono
de Espana:" and it is said to have demonstrated by refer-
ence to historical precedent. that, according to the recog-
nised laws and usages of Spain during the last 800 years,
the eldest sons of the Sovereign, or, in their default, the
eldest rlaughters have inherited the royal sceptre. The
instances in point are Donna Sancha de 'Leon., Donna
Urraca (daughter of Alphonso VI., who declared her his
successor in the presence of the grandees of the kingdom),
Donna Bereguela, daughter of Alphonso VIII., Donna
Isabella the Catholic, and Donna Juana, her daughter. All
these princessis were invested with, and exerci.ed the
prerog itives and power of full sovereignty. It was only
by virtue of the nonexistence of the eilique law in Spain
that Philip V. mounted the throne ; it tell to him as the
natural heir to the rights of his ancestress, Maria Theresa

LITE RATURE.

GALE MIDDLETON, 3 VoLs. LONDON', 1833.
Mr. Horace Smith has acted wisely in giving
up the historical and romantic, for the domestic,
novel. He has not sufficient fancy or enthusiasm
for the chivalrous—hence his cavaliers and feudal
barons, and gallant squires, and high-born dames
have all proved failures, at least when brought
into comparison—which it was impossible not
to do—with those of Scott. We remember the
feelings of disappointment with which we read his
first ambitious tale of" Brambletye House." There
was no unfamiliar acquaintance with the times it
portrayed ; costume, character, description, in-
cident—each and all was plausible enough ; but
the Unagination—the soul which should breathe
Hire into the work, was wholly wanting. It
was besides modelled upon the imitative, and

sitting upon her throne with a bald pate! ! Even the
inebriated Sir Matthew seemed by his stolid and bewildered
stare to be struck aghast at this unexpected apparition of
t bare scalp; but, as he discovered the cause of the phe-
nomenon, he exclaimed—' Hey, what ? little scull, big
body—like a turnip on a sack of—Hick, hick, hick Ha,
ha, ha !'
" The age of chivalry bath not altogether passed away.
An indignant cry of—' Knock him down !' burst from the
Knights and Cavaliers who had witnessed this inexplicable
outrage, and several of dime who surrounded the offender
prepared to obey the summons ; hut the object of their
wrath, always as bold in spirit as he was powerful in body,
and now inflamed by the vinous valour that delights in a
scuffle, no sooner perceived their intention, than he br,,n
dished his violin as a weapon of defence, and whirled it
round him with a sudden and vehement swing which

BERLIN, Dec. 21.—The authorities have at length
succeeded in discovering in the TrAxel Architect, at Co-
logne; the correspondent of the Messayer des Chambres
to whom Prussia has to ascribe the malignant calumnies
that have so long been published in the French U tra-
Liberal Journals. The articles in his own hand-writing
have been shown him, and he has confessed them to be his,
and he was immediately put in prison and delivered up to
the tribunals.
The affairs of Poland excite less interest here at present,
since the amnesty for the Grand Duchy of Posen is said
to be already declared by the King. It includes above 600
persons. The few who are too deeply implicated to ex-
pect pardon, await the sentence. A pamphlet, by Capt.
Dunkbahr, of the General Staff, printed at Konigsberg,
has just been received here. It is on " the Retreat of the
Polish Corps of Gielgud, Chlapowski, and Rybinski, into
the Prussian territory, their stay there, and their removal
from, it." It is completed with the assistance of official
documents, and, by its dispassionate and clear statement
of the facts, excites a new feeling of indignation at the
ingratitude with which the Prussian authorities have been
treated by those emigrants.—Frankfort Papers, Dec. 30.

of the overflowings of charity, brotherly
love, and the " milk of human kindness." We
will not believe that any thing more is neces-
sary than to make the facts known, in order to
unite all classes and descriptions of men in this
country in one common effort to put an end to a
system so full of wickedness and disgrace and
danger. It is a crime for the present, and the
menace of a terrible future, to the land which
permits it to exist for a day, after its existence
shall have been generally known. And it shall
be generally known that here in England there
are thcaishnds upon thousands of helpless and
forlorn children compelled to work for fourteen,
sixteen, and even eighteen hours out of the twenty-
four at the most exhausting and unwholesome em-
ployments, to the certain destruction of their health,
to the titter rui❑ of their minds, to the entire
depravation of their morals ; that these children
of poverty and wretchedness are condemned by
myriads to premature vice and premature de-
bility, for no other end than to enable certain
master manufacturers to send to market a few
articles of use or luxury at a price somewhat
lower (for even this is problematical) than they
would otherwise be enable to supply them.
Here is an opportunity for those who have so
long and strenuously exerted themselves to im-
prove the situation and to break the chains of
the slaves in the West Indies to show to the
world that they have not been actuated by feelings
of morbid sensibility, or stimulated merely by
the desire of a party triumph. Let those who
are sincere in their hatred of slavery, as such,
unite their efforts with ours in the attempt to
put an end to this British slavery, a thousand
times more debasing and severe than any which
the sons of Africa have at any time undergone.
Let the tables of the two Houses of Parliament
be overloaded with petitions from every city,
borough, parish, and hamlet in the three king-
doms, praying that the nation may be relieved
from this terrible crime of gradual but whole-
sale infanticide. And we trust that Senators
will be found in the new Parliament, in that
Parliament even from which so active and en-
lightened a philanthropist as Mr. Sadler is ex-
cluded, to follow in his footsteps as the advocate
of suffering humanity, and the bold and zealous
asserters of the rights and the dignity of human
nature.—Morning Post.

NEW COURT.

Charles Bowen, a surgeon, residing at -, was
indicted for stealing household furniture, linen, plate, &c.,
of the value of 1001. and upwards, intrusted to his care
by the prosecutrix, Hannah Fearn. It appeared in evi-
dence that the prosecutrix being in embarrassed circum-
stances, having given a eognovit for 191., and expecting
every day an execution to be put into her house, was ad-
vised by the prisoner, who was a friend of hers, to remove
her goods to his house, and to give him a receipt for the
value of them, so that if the Sheriff should follow them,
he might state that he had bought the goods, and to all
appearance have a legal right to them. The prosecutrix
not being able to write, put her mark to the receipt, upon
which the prisoner detained the goods in his possession,
alleging that the prosecutrix owed him a large bill f,r his
professional attendance, and declaring that he would not
give up the goods till he was paid. The prosecutrix de-
el fired, that she did not owe him a penny, and brought an
action of trover for the recovery of the property, that action
having failed, the prosecutor preferred a bill of indictment
against the prisoner, charging him with feloniously steal-
ing the property. The Grand Jury found a true bill against
the prisoner.
Several witnesses were examined on the part of the
prosecution, who completely failed in making out any
case against the prisoner, not the slightest evidence being
given to prove that be had attempted to convert any of
the property in his possession to his own use.
The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner, who on
leaving the bar, stated that the whole transaction
w ,s a vile conspiracy against him.
John Smith, a boy about 14 years of age, was indicted
for stealing from the person of Mr. Thos. Fox Holmes,
the son of the late Member for Queenborough, a pocket-
book, containing bank notes to the amount of 1401.,
a silver pencil-case, and several other articles ; and
John Guest with receiving the same, knowing it to
be stolen. The facts of the robbery have already been
fully before the public. The robbery was committed in
May-fair, on the sth of July, by Guest, Kennedy, and
another person. Kennedy, who had been previously con
victed, had turned King's evidence, and, in order to ren
der him a competent witness, he had received a pardon
under the Sign Manual.
Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the prisoners, ob-
jected to the validity of Kennedy's testimony, and was
addressing the Court when our Reporter left.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A mail has arrived from Rio Janeiro, which sailed on
the Bth of November, about twelve days later than the last
accounts. As yet we do not bear that it brings any news
of importance.
We have no arrivals of ship letters, and we are still
without any information from Oporto.

THE FUNDS.
The general opinion is, that the King of Holland will
not listen to the convention sent to him from France and
England ; but in all probability it may draw from him
some proposals on what terms be will settle the affairs of
the Scheldt ; or he may lay down a certain basis on
which he will open a negotiation with Leopold. Great
anxiety is expressed for his answer.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 87.11 for the Ac-
count, opened at the same price; since which they are 874
buyers for the Account, and have been done at 88 buyers.
In the Foreign market nothing doing.
HALF-PAST ONE.
The Exchange from Rio Janeiro by the mail this
morning came 36 ; Stocks 40 to 41.
There is still a very great animation this morning in
the Funds. Consols, which were in the early part of the
day at 874, went up to 88i 4 for the Account ; at present
they are Eu-Lal, which is a rise of 1 per Cent., and during
the Account of 5i per Cent. The public continue pur-
chasing, which causes a great scarcity of Stock, and
a further rise is expected next week, as about twelve
millions of dividends will be paid to the public by the
Bank, East India Company, and others. One defaulter
has been already declared in the House, a Hebrew, but
not to a great extent, and it is supposed that by the Ac-
count Day many more will be obliged to cat and run.
In the Foreign Market most of the Securities have also
improved.
We are without any political news or arrivals from
Oporto. Exchequer Bills have improved to 48 50.

GALLANTRY Or PAGANINI IN IRELAND.
—During the period of PAGANINI'S Irish tour, Signora
PICTRALIA, who had engaged professionally to travel with
him, was warmly solicited by the young ladies at school
in Belfast (where she was giving instructions in singing)
to prevail on him to pay a visit to the establishment.
They were dyizg with girlish impatience to behold so
great a prodigy, and declared they would be contented if
he only stayed five minutes. he Signora was so beset
with the importunities of the young ladies that she could
not escape making the application. The gallantry of the
Italian maestro could not resist the appeal. He accepted
the invitation with readiness, sent his violin, and passed
the whole evening with them, conversing, pl ling, ad-
miring, and being admired. The tniatress and the pupils
were alike captivated ; and the homage to youth and
beauty was offered with equal sincerity and pleasure.—

THE ASIATIC JOURNAL.

There is little of interest and less of novelty
in this month's number. The first article con-
taining a sketch of the biography of Lords
Clive and Cornwallis is the best. The " Re-
miniscences of an old Indian Officer " have not
improved, as we were willing to hope they would
have done. The Munchausen style, "is terribly
wearisome, unless exceedingly well followed up,
and such is certainly not the case in the article
before us. We have marked one or two extracts

not fall below its predecessors. The illustrative
cuts and engravings especially are as remarkable
as ever for their number and neatness.

she refused. In the course of the following year
the man was furnished with a quantity of clothes by
Lord Be!grave.
Prisoner (vehemently)—Well, I travelled with
Lord Belgrave.
Mr. Robinson, of No. 8, Little Chesterfield-
street, said that sorn, months back the prisoner and
a woman, whom he understood to be the man's
wife, lodged with him, during which time they re-
ceived a 10!. note from Sir Herbert Taylor, which
they squandered away, and left witness 2/. 2s. in
his debt.

Ann Pratt, of No. 15, Spring.street, Paddington,
sa'd that at the beginning of October the boy, with
his mother, came to lodge with her, and left at the
latter end of November, having only paid one week's
rent. After they were gone she missed two pil-
lows and a sheet. She never saw the husband be.
fore.

It having been proved that the eldest prisoner
was not privy to the pledging of the things (although
the tickets were found on him, they having just
before his apprehension beets given to him by his
son), he was discharged, with a caution not to fol-
low the profession of begging by letters, or he
would be dealt with to the greatest extent the law
would permit, and the boy, who it appeared was
always the person who pawned the articles, was
fully committed for trial, Mr. HOSKINS remarking
that he was sorry his mother had not been taken,
that She might have been tried with him.

BOWEN V. BAKER.

This was an action to recover a compensation in da-
mages for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter by the
defendant.

It appeared that the plaintiff's daughter (a very ordinary
looking young woman), had been at a social party, and on
her return home the defendant committed the seduction.
She, however, kept the affair a secret for a considerable
time, although abe stated that the defendant had used
great violence towards her.

The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages le.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

HOWARTH V. HARDCASTLE.

This was an action brought to recover compensation in
damages for the infringement by the defendant of a patent
obtained by the plaintiff for a machine to facilitate the
drying of calico, linens, and other dyed and printed goods.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE, with whom was Mr. GoneoN,
appeared for the plaintiff, and Sir JAMES SCAKLETT and
Mr. F. Por.Loca conducted the cage of the defendant.

The case involved a long description, by scientific me-
chanics, of a model of the machine, and in a strict exami-
nation of the plans and specifications of the patent, which
inquiry was of a tedious and uninteresting character. The
case was proceeding when we went to press, and was ex.
pected to occupy the entire day. Dr. Lardner was in at-
tendance to be examined.

DEVON TITHE MEETING.

EXEPER, DEC. 12.—A large and most respectable meet'
ing of gentlemen and yeomanry was held yesterday $1
Seale's, George Inn, Exeter, C. P. Hamlyn, Esq., in the
chair, for the purpose of considering the best course to 10
adopted relative to petitioning the Legislature upon the
present state of the tithe laws.

J. PARROTT, Eqq., M.P., addressed the meeting at
considerable length, and asserted the strong feeling wilicbt
according to his belief, existed in the House of Commoner
and still more so in the House of Lords, to preserve the
ascendancy of the High Church party, and also, with the
exception of Lord Althorp, Lord J. Russell, Sir J. Grabao
and Mr. Ellice, who entertained more liberal sentimeolg
on this subject, a feeling of something of the same nature,
though probab'y not in all to the same extent, existed with
the ministers also. It the❑ became the more necessari
that the people should express themselves, if they tealli
desired to remove the evils of the tithe laws, decidedly upoo
them. Mr. Parrott added that Cornwall was looking to
this county in this matter, being ready to move herself, 0
he believed was also the county of Somerset.
Mr. NORTII)tORE followed, and in a strain of stront
irony commented o❑ the subject, for the purpose of endea-
vouring to ease themselves of the grievance for which they
had met.

Sir H. P. Davie, Baronet, Colonel Seale, M. P.,
Mr. Gill, of Tavistock, Mr. W. Wreford, and °there,
addressed the meeting, and it having been resolved, with
one dissentient only, to request the High Sheriff to con"
vene a county meeting, a requisition to that effect wet
adopted, and immediately received many signatures.
Mr. PA RROTT also brought forward a series of rem)*
lutions, which were each moved and seconded by different
gentlemen and adopted—in effect, that the present tithe
laws are exceedingly vexatious and oppressive to the oc'
cupiers of lands, highly detrimental to the owners of
lands, and injurious to the interests of the people.
It was also understood that the Secretary should cots'
municate to the county members a copy of the resolutions,
together with a copy of the requisition to the Sheriff,
and also the day on which such meeting would take place,
when such had been determined on by the Sheriff.

A PLEASANT INVITATION.—In the year
1762, a Lieutenant Campbell was convicted of forgery►
and condemned to death. On the evening before his eX'
ecution he wrote a species of circular to all such of bis
friends as were at the time in his neighbourhood, which
ran thus " Lieutenant Campbell presents his compli'
ments to -, and requests the pleasure of his company
to-morrow morning to take a cup of chocolate, and to do
him the honour to accompany him to Tyburn, to be present
at his execution." Who shall pride himself on the paltry
arrangement of " pistols and coffee for three" after this?

then to the Bastile, and he had actually likened Mr. r
zpy, of whom he will let us know nothing, to the Duk.
Wellington ; he has not been contented with that
has gone even to the grave; when he had gt
that length he expected him to have given them a
scrip'ion of the ghost that he had brought from it ;
no, he stopped short--perhaps he had forgot the dew!
tion with which Colman had furnished him—
"' Tall as the poplar was his size,
Green, green his waistcoat, as leeks ;
Red, red as beetroot were his eyes,
Pale, pale as turnips were his cheeks."—(Laught
His Learned Friend had been Very clever in draw
them aside from the question, and it was his duty now
bring them back to it. He would not, for a moment,
that a libel had not been published, and it imputed to
plaintiff that he murdered Cully. But he would call
the Jury to look at the situation in which the party tl
stood. He was not a man on whom the breath of elan,
had not fallen, for, as his Learned Friend had eloquer,
expressed it, the mark of Cain was on his forehes
for he (Mr. Platt) could make no distinction in
charge of stabbing with intent to murder, or w
that of actual murder. Many of those topics which
been introduced, were perfectly irrelevant, and all that`'
yet knew of Furzey was, that he was poor, and had bl
once in gaol. It was to have been expected that it wo'
have been shown he was a man in that station likely td
affected by such a charge ; now they knew not wbetheril
was a journeyman shoemaker,a tailor, or theson of a Y.
bleman. His Learned Friend was trying to keep tO,
Jury in the dark, and by means of an inflammatof
speech, get damages for his client.
The Learned JUDGE then summed up. He said it wool
have been difficult indeed to deny that the paragraph 3
question was a libel and one of a very gross character'
The only question for the jury was that of damages.
The jury retired for about half an hour, when they e
turned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 401.

of any intelligence of importance by it.
It is still the general opinion in the City that no conti'

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 18, 1833,

Still we are without any arrivals from France,
owing to the very stormy weather which has
prevailed in the channel for the last three days.
Not a sailing vessel or steam-boat dare venture
out of port.

From the German papers received this morn-
ing we learn that a Cabinet order has been pub-
lished at Berlin, the spirit of which is very much
in accordance with the system now pursued by
the Germanic Diet for restricting the diffusion
of liberal opinions. Henceforward no book-
seller, printer, or librarian, is to set up in busi-
ness without a license from the Government
What next ?

We are sorry to find by the Paris Papers that
the decisions of the Council-General of Agri-
culture, Manufactures, and Commerce, now
sitting in Paris are not likely to be so liberal as
the friends of the free trade principle in the
French Chambers could desire. The proposed
reduction of the duty on British iron will do
very little towards facilitating the importation of
that article into France, as the remaining duty
will be almost as prohibitory as the former one.
It is probable, therefore, that M. THIERS, the
Minister of Commerce, will not feel himself
bound by the recommendation of the Council-
General, and that he will propose a much larger
reduction of the duty on British iron to the
Chamber of Deputies. At the present rate of
duty, or even the three-fourths which the Coun-
cil propose to maintain, the Ministry would find
it exceedingly difficult to carry into execution

these vast plans of public improvement by iron
railways and the supply of the city of Paris, with
water by pipes. The iron masters in France
would he unable to supply the demand for the
railways, within double the period fixed by the
Ministry, and were the establishment of water
works on the English plan to be decided upon
for the French capital, it would be impossible,
without a supply from England, to furnish the
number of pipes required in less than eight or
nine years.

The iron question having been disposed of
as far as the Council of trade and manufactures
is concerned, the members of that body are now
deliberating on the duties on wool and British
coal ; on neither of these points does it appear
probable that the liberal views of the Ministry
will meet with much support. We hope, how-
ever, that they will have nerve enough to perform
a public duty without being influenced by the
narrow views by which the majority of the
Council have been swayed.

The Post of this morning has the following
amusing paragraph :

" We published on Monday a statement which must
have surprised some of our readers—a statement that the
Lord Chancellor is, through his Secretary, inquiring of
the Trustees of various Public Charities whether they will
be disposed to further a scheme for the consolidation i,f
all charitable bequests, and the appropriation of them to
the purpose of national education.' While we assure our
readtill that we published this .tomcat in rclitsuce upon
