continued indisposition.

which had previously visited the household.
A requisition, unanimously signed,- to Sir William
Ingilby, to allow himself to be put in nomination for the

REGISTRATION FOR THE WEST RIDING.--We
believe it will be found that the Reformers have gained
about 1,000 votes above the Majority they had last. Election.
—Halifax Express.
We understand that Mr. Brewster means to carry
his case before the General Assembly.
ORANGEISM.—The houses of several Roman Ca-
tholics were attacked in one night, in the parish of KillY-
man, that is, the Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan's parish, as ap-
peared by the Gazette of Saturday ; and what do we find in
the Gazette of last night (Tuesday) ? We find a reward
of .50/. offered for the detection of some miscreants who
poisoned eight cows, the property of Robert Steel, in the
county: of Antrim. Such are the acts perpetrated in the
strong hold of Orangeism !—Freeman's Journal.
RAILWAY.—Several of the manufacturers and other
public-spirited individuals connected with Dunfermline, and
interested in its prosperity, have lately projected another
railway to the coast, to join the sea at St. Margaret's Hope,
the beautiful and sheltered bay near the Ferry. It is
thought that the expense might be lessened by joining Sir
Philip Durham's railroad, in which case a junction would
be effected between Dunfermline and Inverkeithing.—
Edinburgh Observer.
NOVEL GIFT.—AMOng the presents lately sent to
the Duke of Nassau by the Emperor Nicholas were four
fine Russian carriage horsei and a Russian coachman.
Mr. Conolly, a curious character, lately met two
gentlemen near Gargrave, when he was wheeling a barrow-
load of coals ; one of them thought he would pass a joke.
He accosted Conolly—" I see you make. a horse of. your-
self." He replied—" I kna that, but dO not like to be told
so by an ass.'

LITERATURE.

COOPER'S NOVELS. PART I.
Bentley. London, 1835.

We have here the first Part of Cooper's best tale,
" The Pilot," neatly printed, with a handsome em-
bellishment, at the small price of one shilling. A
Part; we understand, will appear weekly, till the whole
is completed, which -will be about five weeks ; and
thus we shall have "" The Pilot" entire, with all the
latest corrections of the author, for five shillings If
this be not cheap literature, we known not what is !

BOURRIENNE'S MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON.

PARr I.

Benttry. London, 1835.

The life of Napoleon by his confidential friend and
secretary, M. Bourrienne, is, we undersand„ generally
considered to be the most authentic and detailed bio-
graphy of that great warrior, which has yet appeared.
We are glad, therefore, to find Mr. Bentley proposing
its republication in a cheap form; in Weekly. Parts, at
one shilling each, for it- is a work which needs only to
be so brought out, to be generally purchased. A fine
portrait of Napoleon, engraved in a superior style,
heads the present Part.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL AT BRISTOL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Having seen this morning a letter signed " Beta,"
in the Times, stating that at the grand dinner in Bristol
not a merchant or capitalist was present, I beg to deny this
assertion. Surely " Beta" has not seen the list of names of
the gentlemen who attended at the dinner, and must
be ignorant of the respectability of Ricketts, Saunders,
Ash, Blyth, Horwoods, &c., &c.,—men who rank high in
the city as far as respectability and wealth go. (See.
Bristol Gazette.) With respect to the Chairman being a
Unitarian barrister, that is a Tory falsehood. Mr. Smith
springs from a highly respectable family, and even the To-
ries of Bristol acknowledge him as such. He is no Unita-
rian, but attends Broadwood chapel, formerly under the
pastoral care of the well-known and ever-revered Robert
Hall. _ _ .

Allow me to ask " Beth," as he appears to know so much
about Bristol, when is Sir R. Vyvyan to have his promised
dinner ?—I hope he has not been fasting through ex-
pectation.
Your insertion of the above, if not too long, will greatly
oblige,

The illness of Lord Denman, which obliged him to
lea' e the Court Yesterday, was a sudden attack of erysipe-
las, brought on by a severe. cold. His Lordship, however,
we are happy to say, is so much better to-day, as to be able
to resume his scat on the Bench.

Preparatory to the clearances for the site of the new
buildings for the Houses of Parliament, divers erections,
offices, kitchens, &c., connected with the Speaker's house
are forthwith to be sold by auction as building materials, to
he pulled down, without further delay. In the " wreck of
ttatter" that will fall a sacrifice to some of the approaching
condemnations will be the infamous " Star Chamber," now
used as the Court of Review—and a curious judgment, we
opine, would the Court pronounce, if it could take a com-
plete review.
The Duke of Sussex returned to his apartments
yesterday, from a visit to his friend Alexander Thistle-
wayte, Esq., at Southwick Park, near Southampton. Lord
John Churchill, who has been in attendance on him at

the Duchess of Marlborough, in Green-street, Park-lane.

Lord Augustus Fitzclarence arrived at the Burling-
ton Hotel, Cork-street, on Wednesday, from his residence
at Maple Denham Rectory, near Reading. It is not ge-
nerally known that, previous to the Noble and Reverend
Lord taking holy orders, he was a lieutenant in the navy.

Lord Durham, who intended to go direct to St.
Petersburgl, learning at Kiew, where he lately arrived,
that the Emperor was expected, remains in that town,
where he will pay his respects to the Emperor, and perhaps
accompany him to the review.

Winter has come upon-us early, and promises to he
severe. On Thursday, we had, in this district, a fall of
snow, which lasted a considerable time. From the early ar-
rival of the woodcocks and other symptoms, a hard winter
is predicted.—Halifax Express. •
The Lord Mayor, as chief actor in. the City, will
no doubt perform his part well.. His Lordship has been
for several years joint manager of the oldest metropolitan
theatre now standing, that in which Garrick often delighted
his audience with his unrivalled acting, the ancient theatre
in Lincoln's Inn-fields. _

A curious circumstance occurred at the Brighton
Bench of Magistrates on Thursday. As a female was
about to give evidence in a case, Sir David Scott, perceiv-

ing that -she appeared confused, and entertaining some
doubts of her veracity, cautioned her against the guilt of
perjury, and observed, that unless she was disposed to fulfil
the obligation imposed by the oath she was about to take,
it would be better for her not to give her testimony. She
hesitated for a moment, and then complied with the worthy
Magistrate's advice by deelininc, to give her evidence. Sir.
David then mentioned an incident which occurred at an-
other bench of Magistrates, at which he assisted. A re-
markably stout and hearty-looking man offered himself as a
witness, when Sir David, having reason to doubt his inte-
grity, warned him of the sacred obligation of an oath, and
advised him rather to decline giving- evidence than to incur
the guilt of false swearing. The man paused awhile, then
laid down the Bible which he had taken in his hand, and,
overcome by his feelings, fainted in the arms of a by-
stander.

LOVE GIFTS.—A complaint was made by a young
woman against a young man, at Guildhall, Exeter, for
detaining a watch, which excited much amusement. It ap-
peared that they had once been happy lovers, during which
the young woman placed a watch in her swain's hands, she
said, as a loan ; but he insisted as a -gift ; and he, in his
turn, complimented her with a brooch. Ultimately, how-
ever, Cupid took leave without introducing Hyrnen. But
the lady, having since found another helpmate, demanded
that the watch should be restored to her. Strange as it
may appear, the Bench, at the recommendation of the law
officer of the Court, had recourse to an old treatise called
the " Woman's Lawier," to settle the knotty point. The
passage read created much merriment. The purport of it
was that gifts during courtship bad a tacit condition an-
nexed to them, that if marriage did not ensue the gifts were
to be returned, subject to this pithy proviso, that if the
gentleman had a kiss for his gifts he could only claim to
have half of them returned ; but that the lawnwas more in-
dulgent to the lady, who was permitted, without any condi-
tion, to have back all. she gave. Upon this the Bench re-
commended the watch to be returned, which, after some
little hesitation, Was complied with ; the lady having also
complied with the law' by givirig half the value of the
brooch.
