Nothing of importance took place in either House
of Parliament up to the time of our going to press.
CATHOLIC CLERGY.—Mr. O'Brien's notice of a
motion for a provision for the Catholic Clergy stands post-
poned until the 21st of July. A gentleman informs us that
he is empowered by Mr. O'Brien to state " that it is his in-
tention to withdraw the notice altogether, in consequence of
his having found the opinion of the Catholic Clergy and laity
much less favourable to the proposition than he expected."—
Dublin Register.
MURDER ON TIIE RlVER.—Yesterday evening, at
seven o'clock, an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, Coro-
nand a respectable Jury, at the Black Horse Tavern, High-
street, Poplar, Poplar, on the body of John Peter Oram, a seamon,
aged forty-two years, belonging to the John Renwick, West
Indiaman, who was stabbed by Thomas Menzies, the third-
mate, on Tuesday evening, on the river, from the effect of
which he died on the following morning. The Coroner sum-
med up the evidence, and explained the law of the case, and
the Jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdict of
Manslaughter" against Thomas Menzies, who, by the advice
of Mr. Flower, his solicitor, entered into no defence, and he
was forthwith committed to Newgate for trial.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, Lord BROUGHAM, and the Earl
of ABINGDON sat in the House of Lords to-day to hear Scotch
Appeals. _ _

Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning with the
appeal of Yeats v. Mills, which involved a question of dry
Scotch pleading.

Nothing of any public interest took place in either the Rolls
or Vice- Chancellor's Court to-day.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

LIBEL-THE RING V. ROBINSON.

At the sitting of the Court this morning Sir FREDERICK
POLLOCK resumed his address. He concluded that the libel
in question had been published in the worst possible form,
from the worst motives, and under the worst advice, and the
defendant had therefore no right to ask for a merciful consi-
deration of his case. For the sake of society at large, and in
order that authority should be respected, their Lordships were
bound to visit the defendant with punishment. Jf Courts of
Justice were still to administer it without intimidation, their
Lordships were bound to meet the attempt that had been
made in the present case, to set up a Court of Appeal by the
publication of libels of this sort.
Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT followed on the same side.

The COURT, after consulting for a short time, directed
that the defendant should appear on Wednesday morning to
receive its judgment.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.

HARVEY V. JENKINS.

Sir JOHN CAMPBELL obtained a rule to show cause why a
verdict should not be set aside, which, in this case, was for the
plaintiff.
This morning Mr. Baron GURNEY read over his notes of the
trial, from which it appeared that the action was brought to
try the validity of metage dues claimed under the Corpora-
tion, upon all goods landed in the port under their juris-
diction. Evidence was given on the trial, of the fact of
there being no older document, relative to the dues in exist-
ence, of a later date than 1752, though the town had a
charter in the time of Henry I. Many old Captains were called,
and proved that they had always paid for the metage of coals
imported by them into Truro from so far back as 1784, and
many of them had heard from Captains who were old men
when they were young. One of the lessees of the dues proved
that it had been in his family for three lives. He had it from
1784 to 1820, and during all that time only one Captain had
disputed the claim of dues upon coals : he was summoned be-
fore the Mayor, and was obliged to pay.
The reading of the evidence occupied the Learned Baron
for an hour and a half.
In answer to the Court,

Sir JOHN CAMPBELL stated that his objections to the verdict
were, that there was not sufficient evidence to warrant it,
and if so, that it did not support the declaration.
Sir We. FOLLETT then addressed the Court at great length
against the rule, and was speaking when our Reporter left.
The case is likely to occupy the whole day.

THE GRETNA GREEN MARRIAGES.—In the
next Number of the Court Journal is to be commenced the
account of the " Gretna Green Marriages." Our " List" of
elopements," says the Editor, "is nearly complete, and we
shall commence the series with the marriage of the celebrated
Lord Erskine. It is the Editor's intention to give the elope-
ments in each family, dividing them into two classes, those be-
fore marriage, and those after marriage. One of the most
romantic of the latter class is the history of the sister of a fa--
shionable Countess, mentioned in the last Court Journal. The
beauty of this lady is said far to have surpassed that of her
more prudent and fortunate relative. She has been living in
retirement for many years."

ELOPEMENT IN DUBLIN.—A gallant Officer on
the Staff of the late Commander of the Forces, and the son of
a high official personage in this country, has carried off the
lovely daughter of a distinguished Baronet, whose estates lie
in a central county, but who is now resident in Dublin. with-
out the consent of the papa. We believe that in this—the
last case of elopement"—love, " almighty love," was the sole
actuating motive, for it is understood that the lady has no pro-
perty in her own right; and upon this point rumour has it that
the amorous swain is on perfect terms of equality. The lady's
" face is her fortune," and the gentleman's sword is his best, if
not his only, patrimony.—Dublin Evening Mail of Monday.
DUBLIN, JUNE I.—There has been a great hubbub here this
morning, occasioned by Captain Gossett having started off on
a matrimonial excursion with a daughter of Sir Thos. Butler,
county Carlow. An attachment between the parties has been
for some time observed ; but as the young lady is one of ten
children, and the Captain only a young soldier, the friends of
both were averse to the marriage. The young couple, how•
ever, disappeared early yesterday morning, and their route is
not known.

LITERATURE.

WALKER'S CRITICAL PRONOUNCING DIC-

TIONAR Y.
PART 1.--PRIGS is. 6d..—ENTIRRLT RJ3IfODALLED.
TO Rld COMPLISTRII IN WIN sroxrictr ?ARTY.
T. Cadell. London. 1833.

This work will, when completed, be the best of the
kind in the language. Mr. Smart is the editor, and
proposes to give an entirely remodelled edition of
Walker's Critical Pronouncing Dictionary, which, be-
sides furnishing us with a more accurate analysis of
the sounds of the language, with correspondent
schemes and principles of pronunciation, will include
a great many thousand words which are not to be
found in any of the previous editions of Walker.
These additions will comprise about fifty sheets, or
eight hundred Bvo pages, and will consist, first, of restora-
tions from Johnson's Dictionary of the obsolete words
which Walker omits, because,, as Mr. Smart very
justly observes, the restoration of such words is ne-
eessary to the reading of authors of the Elizabethan
age ; and, secondly, of insertions from Todd, Webster,
and other sources, of all the important words which
the progress of literature and science has accumulated
since the days of Johnson. The present part is de-
voted, with the exception of a few pages which com-
mence the Dictionary, to an introductory dissertation
on the " schemes and principles of Pronunciation," in
which Mr. Smart lays down many judicious rules for
the remedying of defective utterance. One of the
sections of this essay is entitled, " Hints for softening
an Hibernian brogue," and might be read by mere
than one joint of O'Connell's tail with advantage. But,
after all, the great recommendation of this work is its
compactness and cheapness. Notwithstanding the
comprehensive character of its alterations, and the space
devoted to its Preliminary Essay, it will be completed
in ten eighteen-penny monthly parts, thereby furnish-
ing us with a more perfect Dictionary than any we
have yet seen, at a price infinitely less than would be
paid for three volumes of a trashy fashionable novel

THE POETICAL WORKS OF SAMUEL
ROGERS, ESQ. PART IV.
London: Edward Moxon.

We have to announce the appearance of the Fourth
Part of this admirable edition of the poems of Rogers,
illustrated by one hundred and twenty-eight vignettes,
from designs by Stothard and Turner. The illustra-
tions are surpassingly beautiful, and so closely do
they embody all that is descriptive in the verse, that
the work appeals as forcibly to the eye as to the un-
derstanding. Rogers appears before us under the
happiest auspices ; for his illustrators and his publisher
vie with each other in doing him honour.

THE NE TV STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF

SCOTLAND, No. VI.
Blackwood, Edinburgh ; Cadell, London.
The Statistical History of a part of the counties of
Inverness and Berwick, with a map of the former beauti-
fully coloured are given in the May Number of this of
cellent national work. The towns in the county of In-
verness of which we have here an account, are Inverness,
Glenmoriston, Boleskine, and Kingussie ; those in the
county of Berwick are Ladykirk, Swinton, Coldstream'
Nenthorn, Fogo, Polworth, Langton, Dunse, F°°l-
- Edrom, Coldingham, Cockburnspath, Eyemouthf
Hordington, and Legerwood. When completed, this
publication will furnish materials for a history °f
Scotland, more ample, more correct, and an hundred
times more valuable than at present exists in any
country in Europe. Well may Scotland be proud of
her priesthood, after receiving this testimony of their
industry and intelligence.

THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF
AGRICULTURE.
Blackwood, Edinburgh; Cadell, London.

This Number opens with an able article, instituting
a comparison bets een the English and Scottish sys-
tems of relieving the poor. The writer is familiar with
his subject, and treats it luminously ; but we think
that he does not make sufficient allowance for the
difference of early habit between the labouring popu-
lation in England, and the same class of individuals
reared up in Scotland. He appears to us to have lost
sight of the fact that there is such a thing as national
character, which no Government can attempt to era-
dicate in the poor, without altering the whole frame of
society. We contend, moreover, that it is morally im-
possible to force the poor of England to be content
With such a provision as would satisfy the poor of
Scotland. Englishmen are from infancy accustomed
to regard their country as the richest and most power-
ful in the world ; Scotsmen, on the contrary, are from
childhood aware of the sterility and poverty of their
native soil, of the difficulty of procuring even an in"
adequate subsistence without severe toil, and strict
economy. The effects of the radical difference in the
first impressions of the poor of the two countries ill
observable in the whole course of their conduct in
after life. Besides, as the claim of the poor to sus-
tenance is always in a relative degree commensurate
with the fertility of the soil, and the wealth of the
country, the English poor are justly entitled to a sue'
tenance which may with equal justice be denied to ths
poor of Scotland. This observation is, we belie"'
now made for the first time ; but we are persuaded
that very little reflection will be necessary to manifest
its full force.

The agriculturists will find a number" of most jai'
portant Essays, on subjects intimately connected with
the cultivation of every kind of crop, in these pages.

THE GOLDEN RULES OF LIFE.
Smith and Co., Oxford-street, 1831.
This purports to be a book for the whole world ;
adapted for the perusal of both sexes and all ages. It
is unquestionably a collection of fine aphorisms from
the best writers ancient and modern. As the cost 19
but a shilling, we should expect for it an extensive
circulation. •
