HAMBURG, OCT. 24, 1834.
HEINE, BROTHERS, Contractors, beg to inform
the Public, that it would now be too late for ordering Tickets
of the Sixty-fourth Great Lottery, and that Orders can be given
for the succeeding SIXTY-FIFTH LOTTERY. In former Lot-
teries they have received several applications for TICKETS OF A
NUMBER ANSWERING TO THE NUMBER OF BANK
NOTES REMITTED. It is of course impossible to attend to
such requests, if the orders are not given BEFORE THE COM-
MENCEMENT OF SALE. They therefore now beg to inform
the Public, that the Tickets of the Sixty-fifth Hamburg Great
Lottery will begin selling on the 26th of NEXT MONTH, and
all Orders for Tickets OF THE SAME NUMBER AS THE
BANK NOTE SENT WITH THE ORDER, must reach them
before that day, and Bank Notes, to answer that purpose, must not
bear a higher Number than 10,000.
Those remitting a Ten-pound Note, will receive an Order for
the Balanee and a full Share, together with the Ticket. Should
the desired Number be already disposed of, the Bank Note will be
returned by the First Mail. Orders of this description must be
directed without delay to

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1834.

We insert in this day's Sun, from a Morning Con-
temporary, the concluding report of the proceedings
that took place at the dinner given to Lord DURHAM
at Glasgow. There is little to comment on in these,
with the exception of a speech delivered by Mr. J.
DAVIDSON, who, in alluding to the great measure
of negro emancipation, which Ministers, to their im-
mortal honour be it said, carried the Session before
last, related the following interesting anecdote :
" How, gentlemen, were these ignorant and dangerous
people, so unfit for freedom, employed upon the
evening of the 31st of July last, waiting for the
morning light which was to shine upon the liberty of
800,000 of the negro race ?—(Cheers.) Doubtless
they were assembled in bands of daring and
ferocious conspirators, lying in wait like the crouch-
ing tiger, ready for the fatal spring, and determined to
take a long and deep revenge for their many wrongs.
Learn the truth, gentlemen : these people, not ripe for
liberty, and said by some to be so viciously:disposed,
were assembled, I have been informed by an ntelligent
friend, in thousands inside and outside of the 'Wesleyan
chapels, waiting to usher in the era of their freedom
with the voice of prayer and of thanksgiving to that
great Being whom they thus beautifully recognized as the
author of this the latest and the best of their social bless-
ings." In the course of his observations, Mr.DAVIDSON
touched very sensibly and gracefully on the strong claims
that the present administration has on the gratitude of
the country—a sentiment which found a welcome
response in the hearts of all who beard him. Indeed
Lord DURHAM is but the advanced guard, as it were,
of the Ministerial phalanx ; he is engaged in the same
great cause with them, the purification of all acknow-
ledged abuses, and has the same persevering, infuriate
enemies to contend against. As for his present quarrel
with Lord BROUGHAM, we cannot believe for an
instant that it will be a lasting one—though the Tories
we know are chuckling at the idea that it will be other-
wise—for it seems to have originated wholly in a slight
misunderstanding, which a few frank words of expla-
nation from either one or the other, cannot fail instantly
to remove.

The French Papers of Thursday have been re-
ceived, and we perceive by their contents that the
resignation of Marshal GERARD, with rumours of
who shall be his successor, form the topics of their
remarks.
The Moniteur contains two Royal Ordinances—
one accepting the resignation of GERARD, and the
, other appointing Admiral de RIGNY to the charge of
the War Department in the interim.

A telegrapttic despatch from Bayonne was received

on Wednesday, announcing that General MINA was
in that town on the 27th, his 'health appearing
to be completely re-established. A deputation
of five Arragonese came to announce to him that
5,000 Urban militiamen, armed and equipped, were
ready to place themselves under his orders. Elisondo,
which has been relieved from its blockade, is now oc-
cupied by a garrison of 5,000 men.
There is no other news from Spain of any interest
that can be depended on. _

- I oars Authentique.

As the Act of Parliament for the establishment of
the Central Criminal Court comes into operation this
day, and as the Court itself will be opened for the
commencing of its judicial functions, it is impor-
tant that the country should be made acquainted
with its formation, and the extent and nature
of its jurisdiction. That the establishment of such
a Court must benefit the country, may be asserted
by any person who has paid the least attention
to the wild and inconsistent vagaries of the Middlesex
Magistrates, in their Sessional meetings at Clerkenwell.
Mortifying as is the confession, we must admit that we
do not comprehend how the judgment seat could be
more abused; than it has been hitherto by this worship-
ful body ; and therefore we would hail the present di-
minution of their power, were we less certain of the benefit
that will arise from it. The constitution of the Court is
made known in the first clause of the Act as follows :
Whereas it is expedient, for the more effective and uni-
form administration of justice in criminal cases, that offences
committed in the metropolis and certain parts adjoining
thereto, should be tried by justices and judges of oyer and
terminer and gaol delivery in the city of London. Be it
therefore enacted, &c. that the Lord Mayor for the time
being of .the city of London, the Lord Chancellor or Lord
Keeper of the Great Seal, and all the judges for the time
being of his .Majesty's Courts of King's Bench, Common
Pleas, and Exchequer, the Chief Judge and the two other
Judges in Bankruptcy, the Judge of the Admiralty, the Dean
of the Arches, the Aldermen of the City of London, the Re-
corder, the Common- Sergeant, the Judges of the Sheriffs'
Court of the City of London, for the time being, and any
person or persons who hath or shall have been Lord Chancel-
lor, Lord Keeper, or a Judge of any of his Majesty's superior
Courts of Westminster, together with such others as his Ma-
jesty, his heirs and successors, shall from time to time name
and appoint by any general commission, as hereinafter stated,
shall be and be taken to be the Judges of a Court to be called
the " Central Criminal Court," to which his Majesty, and his
heirs and successors, may direct his general commission as
hereinafter mentioned ; and which Court shall have jurisdiction
to hear, try, and determine all offences committed or alleged
to be committed as hereinafter specified."
So much for the constitution of the Court with
which it is impossible for the most captious to find
fault. The next important points are the extent and
nature of its jurisdiction. These are comprised in the
second clause, which runs thus :
" 2. And be it further enacted, that it shall be lawful for his
Majesty, his heirs and successors, from time to time to com-
mand and cause to be issued commissions of oyer and terminer
to inquire of, hear, and determine all treasons, murders, felo-
nies, and misdemeanours committed within the City of Lon-
don and county of Middlesex, and those parts of the counties
of Essex, Kent, and Surrey, within the parishes of Barking,
East Ham, West Ham, Little Ilford, Low Layton, Wal-
thamstow, Wanstead St. Mary, Woodford, and Chingford,
in the county of Essex ; Charlton, Lee, Lewisham,
Greenwich, Woolwich, Eltharn, Plumstead, St. Nicholas,
Deptford, that part of St. Paul, Deptford, which is within
the said county of Kent, the liberty of Kidbrook, and
the hamlet of Mottingham in the county of Kent ; and the
borough of Southwark, the parishes of Battersea, Bermond-
sey, Camberwell, Christchurch, Clapham, Lambeth, St.
Mary Newington, Rotherhithe, Streatham, Barnes, Putney ;
that part of St. Paul, Deptford, which is within the said
county of Surrey, Tooting Graveney, Wandsworth, Merton,
Mortlake, Kew, Richmond, Wimbledon, the Clink Liberty,
and the district of Lambeth Palace, in the County of Sur-
rey ; and also commissions of gaol delivery to deliver his
Majesty's gaol of Newgate of the prisoners therein charged
with any of the offences aforesaid, committed within the
limits aforesaid ; and it shall be lawful for the justices
and judges of the Central Criminal Court aforesaid, or
any two or more of them, to inquire of, hear, determine,
and adjudge, all such treasons, murders, felonies, and
misdemeanours, and all treasons, murders, felonies, and mis-
demeanours which might be inquired of, heard, and deter-
mined under any commission of oyer and terminer for the city
of London or county of Middlesex, or commission of gaol de-
livery to deliver the gaol of Newgate, or which, in case the
parts of the counties of Essex, Kent, and Surrey respectively
comprised within the limits aforesaid had been counties of
themselves, might have been inquired of, heard, and deter-
mined under commissions of oyer and terminer and gaol de-
livery for such counties, and to deliver the said gaol of New-
gate at such times and places in the said city, or the suburbs
thereof, as by the said commissions shall be appointed, or as
the said justices and judges by virtue and pursuance thereof,
or any two or more of them, shall appoint, and to award and
issue all precepts and process, and use and exercise all powers
and authorities belonging to justices of oyer and terminer and
gaol delivery; provided always, that such Court shall have
power and jurisdiction to proceed on every such commission
so issued as aforesaid, and act under such commission until a
new commission shall be issued."

The next inquiry is the number of times the Court
will sit annually. Previous to the passing of this Act,
the Criminal Court of Old Bailey sat eight times
every year. The new Court is to sit twelve times,
and oftener should there be business to be done.
We give the clause in the Act which regulates the
sitting :
" 15. And be it further enacted, that the said justices and
judges of oyer and terminer and gaol delivery, to be appointed
under the authority of this act, or any two or more of them,
shall hold a session for the said city of London and county of
Middlesex, and the parts of the counties of Essex, Kent, and
Surrey hereinbefore mentioned, in the said city of London or
suburbs thereof, at least 12 times in each and every year (and
oftener if need be), such times to be fixed by general orders
of the said court, which any eight or more of the said judges
of his Majesty's Courts of Westminster are hereby empowered
to make from time to time."

Among the many obvious advantages which the
public will derive from this Act, we must not omit the
facility which will be afforded for the detection and
prosecution of criminals. It will at once sweep away
the artificial impediments which the conflicting
prerogative of petty tribunals raised in the way of
justice. Both sides of the River will be all one for
the thief, the pick-pocket, and the house-breaker,
whereas formerly every borough was a little kingdom in
itself, at the boundaries of which the officer of justice was
obliged to halt powerless as an infant. Another important
part will be, that criminal prosecutions will imme-
diately follow the capture of the offenders, which will
prevent the innocent from suffering from unjust con-
finement, and the guilty from the endurance of a
double penalty. The expense of prosecutions will
likewise be diminished ; but we cannot enter fully into
the subject to-day. We have not space for another
line.

We at once perceive the grossness of the errors into
which France has fallen, in dividing her kingdom into
four districts, and fixing a price in each, below which
grain shall not be permitted to pass from any one dis-
trict to another, until the price shall exceed the spe-
cified amount in the district then only allowed to re-
ceive it. We readily perceive that it would be as
absurd to fix one price in Scotland and another in Ire-.
land, a third in the North of England, and a fourth in
the South, and prevent any of these ports of the United
Kingdom from receiving grain, the one from any of the
others, until the price exceeded the amount so fixed.
But we do not choose to perceive that the mistake
which we have committed in fixing a price in the United
Kingdom, below which foreign grain shall not be ad-
mitted, is• precisely the same in principle, and has a
similar effect in operation, differing only in degree.

The French also have fallen into the same mistake with
ourselves, in fixing an importation price from foreign
countries, and imposing a duty upon importation.
But France has been much more moderate than we
have in the amount of the price fixed, and in the
amount of the duty imposed. Importation is restrained
in France by duties in the first district, when wheat in
its market is below 24 francs per hectolitre; in the second
district, when it is below 22 ; in the third, when below
20 ; and in the fourth, when below 18. The mean of
all these prices is 21 ft:Ales, which is equal to 48s. Bd.
the imperial quarter. At the prices of 26, 24, 22, and
20 francs per hectolitre, in the different districts, the
duty is merely nominal, namely 25 cents per hecto-
litre, or 7d. per imperial quarter. The duty which is
permanent at or above those prices, varies when they
fall, rising one franc for every franc the price per hecto-
litre (25.4 d. per imperial quarter) falls below 26,24, 22,
and 20 francs per hectolitre as the case may be, until
the price falls below 24, 22, 20, and 18 francs per
hectolitre, when the duty advances at the rate of a
franc and a half for each franc of fall. The agricul-
ture of France is suffering not less severely than our
own by the operation of this restraining law. But the
operation of our corn laws demands a separate consi-
deration, which we intend it shall receive. Our pre-
sent purpose is to show, that no branch of industry
prospers by prohibitions of import, or by heavy
duties upon import, nor is the industry or the revenue
of the country thereby increased. On the contrary,
its industry is repressed and limited, and, by necessary
consequence, so is its public revenue; whereas, by
light duties upon importation, home industry will be
increased, and, with it, the public as well as private
income ; and further, that from properly apportioned
duties of customs, the greatest part of our public reve-
nue may be derived.

The manufacture which has flourished the most in
this country is the cotton manufacture, and though the
duty upon the importation of cotton fabrics is only 101. per
cwt., while upon those of silk it is 301. per cwt., 201.
per cwt. upon woollens, and 401. per cwt. upon linens.
But though the cotton manufacture has flourished the
most with the smallest duty upon the import.of foreign
fabrics, yet it is now suffering from a duty of 2s. 11d.
per cwt. upon the importation of cotton wool, while
upon the importation of flax the duty paid is only hl.
per cwt. ; and upon sheep's wool id. is levied upon
every pound imported less in value than ls. per pound,
and ld. if above ls. the pound, which duty of Id. is
also levied upon every pound of raw silk imported.
The duty upon the importation of flax cannot well be
lower, but when we levy so low a duty upon the importa-
tion of flax, how happens it that we levy so much heavier
duties upon cotton-wool and raw-silk, both of which
are raw materials that we cannot raise at home ? There
is, indeed, the mistaken notion that we encourage our
own growth of sheep's wool by the heavy duty we levy
upon foreign wool ; but this does not remove its con-
sequence upon the woollen manufacture, even if it
did not prevent, as it certainly does prevent, more
attention from being bestowed upon the quality of the
wool grown at home, and, by necessary consequence,
to lessen the value of the article. But to return to
prohibition and high import duties. Our silk manu-
facture neither improved nor increased with prohibi.
tions. It does not increase with high import duties as
the cotton manufacture does with low, nor has woollen
manufacture with higher import duties increased as the
cotton has done. The linen manufacture has in-
creased lately, not by reason of the heavy impost duty
upon linen fabrics, but by reason of improvements in
machinery, whereby the coarsest as well as the finest
parts of the fibre of flax are spun into yarn. We have
no sufficient data by which we can estimate the quan-
tity of any of these manufactures consumed at home ;
but if the extent of them be estimated by the quantity
exported, cotton greatly preponderates, as appears from
the finance accounts of the last year, in which their
official values are stated as follows :
Cotton Manufactures .Z 40,058,153
Linen Manufactures.... .............. 3,493,642
Silk Manufactures 694,773
Woollen Manufactures 7,777,951
The following is the official value of each of these
manufactures exported in 1814 :

Cotton Manufactures
Linen
Silk
Woollen

16,535,528
1,524,457
173,343
4,931,667

It thus appears that the linen and silk manufactures
have increased as well as the cotton, in a much greater
degree than the woollen, since 1814. In relative
increase the linen approaches the cotton, and the silk
exceeds both. But it is by reason of the improvement
in the machinery by which flax is spun into yarn, that
the linen manufacture has increased so much since 1814,
and it is since that year that the absolute prohibition
of the import of silk has been repealed. As this
manufacture has increased from the removal of abso-
lute prohibition, it is plain that the manufacture has
not suffered ; on the contrary, it has improved, as well
as increased, from the competition with foreigners, to
which it has since been exposed. But it suffers
from a competition with smugglers, or those con-
cerned with smugglers, through the heavy duties
imposed upon importation, whereby the best efforts of
those engaged in the home manufacture are deranged
and repressed, while the woollen manufacture suffers from
a duty upon the export of wool, which tends to diminish
the quality of home wool, and by a duty on the import of
the finer sorts offoreign wool, which are absolutely neces-
sary for the finest description of cloth, the quantity of
which exported is thereby limited. Home manufacturers
cannot sustain a competition with each other unless
they are upon equal terms, which they cannot be when
duties are evaded, as high duties always arc, and the
higher they are, the greater the temptation to evade
them, and the greater the derangement to the home
manufacture when they are evaded ; nor can home
manufacturers sustain a competition with foreign manu-
facturers in any branch of industry, unless they are
secured against any advantage which foreigners can
have over them, excepting what arises from skill, and
the comparative excellence and cheapness of the ma-
nufacture. There are local advantages of climate and
raw manufacture, and otherwise, which cannot be
taken from any people, and it is idle and useless to
make the attempt. The people who enjoy local advan-
tages, however, do not always make the best use of
them ; but the competition of knowledge, skill, and
industry are open to all, and never fail to reward those
who possess these qualities. For the raw material
of the manufacture which, of all others among us,
has become the most extensive, namely, the cotton
manufacture, we depend upon other countries, as we
also do for the raw material of our silk, and the bulk
of our linen manufacture. Yet, with these disadvan-
tages, we have beaten all the world in the cotton and
linen manufacture ; and if our silk manufacturers could
be prevailed upon to consent that the import duties on
silk fabrics shall be as low as those on cotton, we
should soon beat all the world in silk fabrics also.

RDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 183

COURT OF EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHIEF BARON is sitting in this Court, with a
Special Jury, in order to try the cause of De Beauvoir
v. Rhodes, which has afforded employment to the
legal gentlemen for many years. It comes now
before his Lordship for the trial of several issues
directed by the House of Lords, and this is the first cause in
which that noble body have ever taken such a course. On
the pleadings being opened by Mr. FOLLETT, one of the
issues seemed to his Lordship to be very loosely worded, so
much so as to leave him in doubt of its real meaning.
Sir J. SCARLETT, for the plaintiff, said the only way in which
he could account for the manner in which the issues came
before them was the fact, which they had from high
authority, that the diffusion of useful knowledge had
not yet reached that noble body. On the same autho-
rity, however, they had it, that the tide was rising ;
and therefore they were led to hope, that when
their Lordships had read and digested a few more
" Penny Magazines," they would be so far enlightened
in this as well as in other things, that if they
should follow that, the first precedent, of sending
cases to a jury, they would be enabled so to frame their issues
as to be intelligible. He then went on toistate the case, which
occupied him several hours. Though it has been on for two
days the plaintiff's case was not nearly got through, and it is
expected to occupy his Lordship until Monday evening.
The question in the case is whether the defendant did or did
not obtain too great a preference in getting a lease of the
Batham estate, at Hackney, in the year 1821, from the late
Mr. De Beauvoir, when in a weak state of intellect.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
Cadell, Strand.

The " Noctes Ambrosianae" is the gem of this
number. We should be glad to see a collection made,
in one graceful little volume, of the best passages in
this versatile series of papers : we are quite convinced it
would be popular ; for where else could one meet
with a work bringing together so Many poetic, phi-
losophical, and descriptive beauties, to say nothing of
the humourous touches, which are as racy as they are
rare ? If not the profoundest—and even on this
point we have our doubts--Professor Wilson, is un-
questionably the most accomplished writer of the age.
He comes before us armed at all points, challenging
our admiration, not less by the exquisite 'refinement
of his taste, than the variety of his erudition, and the
uncommon force and vitality of his imagination. Even
as a satirist, he holds a high rank in the republic of
letters—so strangely parodoxical is his mind, which at
one moment can sit " in the seat of the scorner," and
at another, among the most reverential and undoubting
worshipper of genius ! So long as he writes with the
freshness and enthusiasm that he now does, blending
the simplicity and confidingness of the boy, with the
experience and sagacity of the man—may he write on
for ever ! He cannot possibly weary us, for the in-
stant lie has familiarized us with one of his Protean
shapes, he has nothing to do, but drop it for a season,
and take up another. In the present number we have
him in the two-fold capacity of a convivial and sprightly
table-talker, and a subtle and imaginative critic. In
both he shows to equal advantage, his notice of " Spen-
cer's Fairy Queen," being quite as admirable in its
way, as his desultory chit-chat with the Shep-
herd in the " Noctes." Yet, Hogg, we have
heard, professes to be quite indignant at being cari-
catured in these delightful papers. If this be really
the case, the man must be a more enormous donkey
than ever brayed in Brobdignag, for great as may be
the merits of his " Queen's Wake," he may rely on it
that it is as the hero of the " Noctes Ambrosiance,"
he will be best known to posterity ! " Ochlen-
schlaeger's Aladdin," to those who are fond of the
'German drama, will teem with interest ; it is a very
acute analysis of what seems to us a very indifferent.,
play ; though on this subject we are not impartial
critics, having never yet read any thing in German
dramatic literature that we could endure, with the
exception of " Goethe's Faust," and Schiller's two
maleficent plays of the Robbers and Wallenstein.
Evei German fiction strikes us as being prodigal only
in absurdities ; witness Hoffman's crude, drunken, un-
imaginative hobgoblinisms, which produced such an
effect a few years since on the minds of his country-
men. The only German romance in which we could
ever detect the slightest workings of nature, is the
Baron de lc Motte's " Undine," which is full of grace,
tenderness, and fancy, and in which, though the per-
sonages are for the most part of a supernatural order,
probability is kept as much in view as it is in Shak-
speare's " Tempest." " Nights at Mess" is whim-
sical, but treads close on the verge of the impossible.
In the " Water-drinker in the Pyrenees,"—how we
pity an unhappy water-drinker at that chilly elevation !
—there are two or three vigorous descriptions ; and in
the " Cruise of the Midge" one picturesque sketch,
which we subjoin ; just premising that the subject has
been already well handled, and in a somewhat similar
spirit, by the author of " Tom Cringle's Log."

" We were now rapidly approaching the burning vessel,
which was still becalmed, and lying motionless apparently on
the silver swell, veiled from our sight by the pillar of cloud
that brooded over it, which continued to ascend straight up
into the clear heaven like some tall tree, the top of it spreading
and feathering out like the drooping leaves of some noble
palm ; but the moment the breeze struck the column of smoke
it blew off, as if the tree had been levelled before the blast,
and streamed away down to leeward in a long whirling trail,
disclosing to our view the black hull and lower masts of a
large vessel, with the bright red flames gushing out from her
hatchways, and flickering up the masts, as if the fire licked them.
" When the smoke blew off, we saw a felucca, hitherto
concealed by it, to leeward of the vessel, apparently edging
away from her, with a boat towing astern, an unusual thing at
sea. Presently, she hoisted it up, and hauled her wind after
us, as if she had taken time to reconnoitre, and now had made
up her mind to overhaul us. As the wreck was by this time
burned to the water's edge, it was clear we could render no
assistance ; we therefore made all the sail we could, and stood
once more on our course. Just as we had hauled by the wind,
and were leaving the wreck, the after-part of the quarterdeck
of the burning vessel lifted, as it were, but by no means sud-
denly, although the stump of the mizen-mast flew up into the
sky like a javelin launched into the air by the hands of a giant,
and clouds of white smoke burst from the vessel, in the midst
of which a sudden spout of red flame shot up, but there was
scarcely any report, at least what sound we heard was more a
deadened thud than a sharp explosion. The vessel immedi-
ately fell over on her side, and vanished suddenly below the
green waves, in a cloud of white steam."

FRASER'S MAGAZINE.
Fraser. Regent-street.
Welcome, Regina! Despite of Tory politics, and
a cross-grained disposition, which manifests itself in
rapping our old friends the Whigs over the knuckles,
and dealing out hard hits at other of our acquaint-
ances, we are always very glad to see you. To be can-
did—when we grow tired of politics and political par-
tizanship—which, sooth to say, happens more fre-
quently than we care to tell the public—we are de-
lighted to sit down and enjoy a hearty laugh with
Oliver Yorke, Morgan Rattler, the Ettrick Shep-
herd, and that wittiest of Irish ecclesiastics—and there
are many very odd and whimsical, if not very witty
fellows among the canonical soul-savers of the " Green
Isle"—ozild Father Prout. The present number is,
however, heavier than usual—perhaps weighed down
a little by a full length portrait of James Smith, Esq.,
brother of Horace, and co-assistant with him in the
production of the " Rejected Addresses," added to
which is a chair, a cushion, a crutch—all euphonious
appendages, and, to do justice to the artist, having
not the slightest appearance of ballast about them.
Still, there is dead weight somewhere, for, as we said
before, the present number is rather heavy, and, let us
add, rather severe in its strictures in quarters where
they may operate in a way which the publisher never
intended. Of Morgan Rattler's attack on Moore
we say nothing, because Moore is above—far above,
the reach of any shaft that may be aimed at him, whe-
ther in jest or earnest. To quarrel with so much ex-
cellence is excusable, because, without injury being
done to the object of censure, the world is amused
by the attempt at a censorship so self-evi-
dently humourous, when not ridiculous. But of
the " race who write," how fow have gained a
footing on the base of the rock, on the summit of
which Moore reposes in safety and in sunshine ? And
of those who are pouting, and struggling towards the
same point, though self-assured they shall never reach
it, there' are hundreds—useful in their way—whom a
random nut-shell flung in jest by old Oliver Yorke, as
he sit's in his easy chair after dinner enjoying his wine,
and maybe a pipe with father Prout,—would utterly
exterminate. We would rather magnify than diminish
our view of little things ; nor could all the naturalists
in the world persuade us to employ ourselves in im-
paling blue-bottles, however much two of our senses,
or rather the organs of them, might have previously
suffered from their buzzing.
But in all this we are forgetting to speak of the
articles one by one, after our usual fashion. " The
two Articles on the Annuals" is a clever paper, and
introduced after the right fashion. We read it not
without enjoying a hearty laugh, which we could not
help indulging, though at the expense of some of our
Contemporaries. The joke is 'sometimes
carried too
far,,--but The pre-
of that we have spoken already,
