MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE.

BY M. DE lourtiENNE.
In One Vol.
London : Scott, Webster, and Gregory, 1835.

There seems to be no minimum in the prices of
books. Here is a handsome thick pocket volume,
containing as much matter as is usually contained in
four volumes, octavo, published at the trifling cost
of Six Shillings ! We should certainly call it cheap
at double the price. It is besides very carefully
edited, well printed, and altogether a book which we
can recommend to readers of limited income. We
ought also, in justice to the spirited publishers, to
mention, that they are bringing out a series of En-
glish Classic Literature, in the same style, and at
prices equally moderate. Their editions of Robert-
son's and Gibbon's historical works are deserving of
an extensive patronage.

THE RAMBLER IN NORTH AMERICA.

BY CH.IRLES JOSEPH LATROBE, AUTHOR OF THE " ALPIINSTOCK.

In 2 Vols. London : Seeley, 1835.

The author of these volumes is'a most agreeable,
intelligent travelling companion ; and we recommend
all who, like ourselves, prefer visiting foreign countries
in an arm-chair, placed within a comfortable distance
of a good fire and a hissing tea-urn, to take him as
their guide through the United States. He is always
in excellent spirits, and in the best possible temper
with himself and every body else. He is a capital
hand at a story; relates anecdotes after the most amus-
ing fashion ; and is an admirable gossip where men of
a less happy temparament would infallibly be pro-
nounced insufferable bores. His descriptions of
scenery are full of life, fancy, and feeling.

:There is residing at Duckmanton Moor an old
man, named Joseph Cantril, now in his 92d year, who,
within the last two years, has cut a tooth. He followed
the hounds last season, and this year cut several thrave sof
corn ; followed the plough ; drove the hearse for the burial
of one Mr. Rogers of Callow ; rode a horse back to Duck-
manton Moor, and can extract a thorn from his finger
without the aid of a glass.—Derby Reporter.
HORSE STEALERS.—Considerable interest was ex-
cited at Billericay on Tuesday last, in conseqence of the ex-
amination of three persons, named John Wicker, John
Remington, and Thomas Page, who had been brought
from Lynn, in Norfolk, a distance of upwards of 100 miles,
upon four different charges of horse stealing, and other fe-
lonies, in various parts of this county. Remington and
Wicker, late last evening, confessed to their having been
concerned in upwards of twenty felonies, amonst which are
stealing horses, sheep, pigs, corn, saddles and bridles, steel
springs, and a variety of other articles from persons at
Chelmsford, Blackmore, Maldon, Woodham, Boreham,
Willingale, Stoke, Springfield, &c. ; and we recommend
parties who have lost any property of late in those neigh-
bourhoods to apply for information to Mr. William Curtis,
of Billericay. Last night a horse which had been sold by
the prisoners to Mr. Reader, of this town, was seized by
Mr. Curtis in consequence of their having disclosed that
they stole it from an old man with a wooden leg—known
by the name of " Old Tom," at Shouldham, in Norfolk.—
Cheltenham Chronicle.

PHENOMENA.--.The muirs on the parish of Fen-
wick have been repeatedly the scene of phenomena which
would appear to be utterly incredible, were they pot sup-
ported by the strongest evidence. Fortifications, cities, and
camps have been observed, together with numerous armies
of cavalry and infantry on the march, performing evolutions,
or engaged in deadly conflict. About fifty years ago, an
account of them was published by John Howie, of Loch-
goin, author of the lives of Scots Worthies. Similar ap-
pearances have been witnessed since his time. In Fenwick
they are known by the name of the visions.—Scots Times.

AN ANCIENT OPINION ON LOVE.—II is a pretty
soft thing, this same love ; an excellent company keeper,
full of gentleness and affabilitie ; makes men fine,
and go cleanly ; teacheth them good qualities; hand-
some protestations ; and if the ground be not too bar-
ren, it bringeth forth rimes and songs full of passion
enough to procure crossed armes and the hat pulled down ;
yea, it is a very fine thing, the badge of 18 and upward, not
to be disallowed ; better spend thy time so than at dice. I
am content to call this love , though I hold love too worthy
a cement to joyne earth to earth ; the one must be celes-
tiall, or else it is not love.—Sir William Curnwalless Es-
says, Ed. 1631.

EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY.)

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GRATES.

This information was tried at the sittings after last tens,
when a verdict was found for the Crown for large penalties,
Early in the term, Mr. John Jervis obtained a rule to en;
ter a verdict for the defendant. The information was filed
against the defendant under these circumstances. The
defendant was a druggist who, in September, 1834, Wen",
to the Custom House with the invoice of 34 bales of bay
berries which had been imported from Rotterdam. They
'were entered to him, and on being weighed one of the bags
burst, when it was found to contain a few bay berries otit'
side, while the inside was stuffed with nux vomica.
searching the others, they were all found to be full of that
drug, and cocolus indicus. A seizure was made, and the
penalties sought.
Mr. JERVIS obtained his rule on the grocnd that the in'
formation was wrongly drawn, inasmuch as these goods wer.e
actually prohibited to be imported from any place In
Europe, and therefore no penalties attached for having the
in this country without the payment of duty.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. TANCRED, and gr'
KAYE, were heard this morning against the rule. They
submitted that as these goods were clearly liable to a (1°,,11,2'
the Legislature having imposed a' duty of 2s. 6d. per j";
upon them, the information was properly laid. Had the'
been called prohibited goods in the information, the oth,e't,
side would have abetter ground for a rule than they had In
Mr. JERVIS, in support of the rule, relied upon the 5
and 4th of William IV., chap. 54, called the Navigatir
Laws, which absolutely prohibited the importation of t'nef
produce of Asia, Africa, or America, from any part
Europe, with certain exceptions, amongst which Rotteroll
was not. Coming from that port, under no circumstanced
could they be entered for consumption in this country, all
were therefore not liable to duty.

Mr. WELLSLEY followed.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied, and the Court Xr
charged the Rule.
