" We do not hesitate to declare that a more interest-
ing accession than this Library to our literature has not
taken place in modern times. No well-arranged plan has
been proposed before, for placing the treasures of the
classic writer.; in the hands of readers wbo were unac-
quainted with the original. How easily such a plan
could be accomplished—of producing solid instruction—
the volumes before us are at once the proof. We might
praise the elegance of the work; but a fea'ure of greater
importance demands our approbation,—we mean the ex-
clusion of every thing offensive. Thus, for the first time,
all the intellectual splendours of Greece and Rome are
opened to the gentler sex ; and a lady can acknowledge
an acquaintance with the treasures of ancient authors
without the smallest compromise of hir delicacy."—

THE large and increasing Circulation of
BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE throughout
England and Ireland, as well as Scotland, and in the
Colonies, renders it a peculiarly desirable channel for
Advertisements connected with Literature, the Fine Arts,
and others of a miscellaneous character, which require t,,
be extensively circulated ; and as Magazines arc not so
speedily thrown aside as Newspapers, but continue to in-
terest and to pass from hand to band for a much longer
period, the chances of the Advertisements they contain
being preserved, read, and attended to, are thereby greatly
increased.

PALACE COURT, JAN. 10.

AN AQUATIC EXCURSION.-WARD V. SHELDON.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff,
William 'Ward, against the defendant, Thomas
Henry Sheldon, to recover the sum of 31. 165.,
being part of the profits resulting from a trip to the
Medway.

Both; plaintiff and defendant were publicans; the
former residing in Castle-street, Leicester-square,
and the latter in Compton-street, Soho. These
two individuals, in conjunction with four others,
hired the Albion steamer to have an excursion down
the river, and to have, as the bills that were issued
expressed it, " a view of that much-admired and
rapidly improving place, within twelve miles of
Margate, called Herne Bay." The excursion was
attended with considerable disagreeables, as it ap-
peared from the witnesses, and this action resulted
from them, and a refusal on the part of the defen-
dant to pay the share of profit to the complainant.
Mr. Sbrinz was one of the six who engaged the
Albion for tile excursion on the I7th of July. De-
fendant was the treasurer on the occasion,
and on the evening of the day after the ex-
cursion the whole of the parties met at his
house. There Mr. Sheldon, having duly examined
the accounts, communicated the gratifying intelli-
gence that, after the payment of the expenses, there
was 401. profit to be divided amongst the share-
holders. Defendant paid witness part of his share,
but said he was very short of money, and could not
pay him all then. He did not pay him, and wit-
ness himself summoned defendant for the residue
of his share. In fact, as witness expressed it, Mr.
Sheldon was considered the factotum of their
excursion.

In answer to a question from Mr. Ross, whether
the stearr-boat performed the stipulated distance,
Witness replied it did not. It poured with rain
all the day, and the ladies began to get ill, and they
entreated that they might be taken home as soon
as possible. The sense of the company was taken
on the occasion, and they were nearly unanimous in
their opinion that home would be a pleasanter sight
than that fast improving place within twelve miles
of Margate, arid accordingly the vessel returned.
The unanimous cry was, " For God's sake, let's
get back to Gravesend."
H. BRENT, Esq., was about to charge the Jury,
when they found a verdict for the plaintiff for the
entire amount.

INCENDIARISM.—The incendiary has made
his appearance in this county. About 1 o'clock on Mon.

Figgures, on Harlestone-farin, in the parish of Block ley,
when a Lirge barley rick and two stacks of straw were
con,umed. The property was fully insured. No doubt
is entertained the fire was caused by an inctndiary,—
Worcester Journal.
On Friday night a corn stack, the property
of Mr. Peel, constable of Elland, was burnt. It is sup-
posed to have been the work of an incendiary.—Halifax
