UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE.

The two most entertaining articles in this Number
are—first, an account of a " Five Days' Retreat of a
Turkish Army," in which there are many stirring
and even dramatic incidents ; and secondly, " Military
Anecdotes and Sketches of Character." In this last
article, Major Wilkie, the author, gives a brief and
piquant sketch of the late Captain Dormer, who, ac-
cording to the Major's account, must have been one
of the most inveterate gastronomists on record, " hav-
ing a pure love of the art, which, like other loves, be-
came a passion, and a reigning one."
London, England, 1844-03-02

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

There is here a very tedious essay on " Mesme-
rism," which, so far as we can see, comes to no defi-
nite conclusion, but leaves the subject in the same
perplexed state in which it found it. In the article
quaintly headed " Nuts and Nut-Crackers," we find
some smart and pertinent references to the " Humane
Society," who, it seems, take a world of trouble to
save a man from drowning, but pay no attention to
him, even though starving, until animation is sus-
pended. " Arrah Neil" is another of Mr. James's
works of fiction ; it is agreeably written, but is not
much elevated above common-place.

THE GADDESBY MURDER.

OUTRAGE ON MRS. HODGES.—Since our publication
this morning we have been informed that some unknown
ruffian went to the house of Mrs. Hodges, late on
Thursday, and asked if she was not a principal witness
against Messenger. Mrs. Hodges, who had gone to the
door without a candle, seeing it was a stranger,
said " No," and shut the door. The fellow, pushing
it open again, exclaimed " It is a d-d lie I you
are ! I will give you that for your trouble," at the same
time striking her a violent blow on the back, which
knocked her down and rendered her insensible. She has
been very ill since, having thrown up blood more than
once. The police are making inquiries after this ruffian,
but we regret to state that they have not yet discovered
him.
RE-EXAMINATION OF MESSENGER.—Messenger was
again under examination for two hours this day (Satur-
day) at the county gaol. We are only able to state that
Mrs. Hodges was again brought forward, having
been taken thither in a fly. Some doubt has been
thrown upon her testimony. She states that
when returning from Gaddesby on the 11th of
June, she paid one shilling at Syston to come up
by the railway ; this is the first class fare. Now on
the morning in question it is distinctly affirmed by
the officers of the Railway Company that no person pay-
ing either a first or second-class fare came up from Sys-
ton by either the first or second train, by one of which
she must have travelled to have arrived at Leicester
at the time she states she did. Nothing material
was elicited, and Messenger was further remanded to
Tuesday, being the fifth time since his re-apprehension.

OLYIIIPIC.

There is great difficulty in, declding upon the school
of criticism, by the rules of which a modern English
drama is to be judged. The question of the Unities re-
mains unsettled, and France—that smiled at Voltaire's
elaborate comparison of Calderon with Shakespeare—
(both of whom he disliked, for the one reason that each
was a poet and he was not)—France now delights in the
representation of dramatic poems, which are poetic in
their structure, and depend not upon mere rhyme for their
effect. The lapse of years between the parts of an ac-
tion was condemned by the critics, from the time
of Lopez de Vega to that of him who dreamed the glo-
rious dream of " Victorine." Leman Rede belongs to
the school which regards truth more than technicality,
and puts a story upen the stage with the life-like energy
of an Italian painter or an Indian story-teller. The
drama called the Profligate, produced last night at the
Olympic, is a fine specimen of what may be done to re-
concile the adverse schools. It would be a hazard beyond
which we could not venture, to say that unity is in any
respect violated. The drama is a beautiful work—to be
usefully read in the closet, or pleasantly regarded on the

stage.

WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTERTAINMENT.
Amongst the numbers who crowded to hear Mr. Wil-
son's second lecture upon the History and Music of
Mary Queen of Scots was the reporter for The Sun.
He found himself entangled in a throng .of carriages,
which reached from Gower-street to Tottenham Court-
road. It was no small vexation to learn that the finest
throat in Great Britain (except a skylark's) was stopped
by a cold. He was informed that Mr. Wilson will be
able to give the entertainment on Monday next. Vexed
as he was at his own disappointment, he was much
gratified in observing the kindness with which it was
endured by the great gathering of song-lovers assembled
around the Music-hall in Store-street.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—We hear that it is her
Majesty's gracious intention to honour this theatre
with her presence on Thursday, to see the Bohemian
Girl.

We have availed ourselves of the earliest oppor-
tunity which has offered for the publication of Mr.
Carter's letter on the important subject of our existing
currency, and the best mode of improving and ex-
panding the circulation. To some of his views on
the general principles of a sound monetary policy,
his definitions of money, and his proposition for the
establishment of a general hank of transfer—many of
which are original and very ingenious, and others
which we are not quite prepared to concur with—we
shall advert more particularly in a few days, on the
occasion of adverting to other theories of recent pro-
pagation, relative to the same topics.

PRO-CORN-LAW MOVEMENTS.—Anti-League meet-
ings have recently been held at Grantham, at Hunting-
don, at Aylesbury, at Gloucester, in North Bedfordshire,
and Derby, and at Long Sutton. At all these meetings
the speeches were pretty nearly of the same character,
and full of abuse of the League.

FOREIGN.
The French funds continuo depressed. On Sunday the
Three per Cents. were quoted at 82f. 10c.
On Saturday evening the King had a large party to dinner,
including the Austrian and Neapolitan Ambassadors, the
Minister of Marine, General Excelmans, the Marquis do la
Place, and the Pope's Nuncio. ,
The King of the Belgians gave (grand ball and supper on
the 24th, at the theatre of Brussels, which had been tastefully
and elegantly fitted up for the occasion. The number of guests
is stated at nearly 3,000; amongst whom were all the aristo-
cracy of Brussels and its environs, the foreign ambassadors
and ministers, and the other foreigners of distinction resident
at Brussels. Their Majesties were in the Royal box, but the
King left it from time to time to go down to the stage and
pit, where the dancing was carried on, and converse with
some of his guests.
Messrs. Demimuid, directors of one of the most extensive
ironworks in the department of the Meuse, have been declared
insolvent.

The shareholders of the Bank of France held a general
meeting, on the 26th, at which they re-elected M. Moreau to
be Censor, and MM. Jacques Lefevre, Delamare, and d'Eich-
thal, to be Regents, adding M. Legentil in the room of M.
Cottier, deceased.

A letter from Algiers of the 10th inst., says :—" The ba-
rometers having prognosticated rain, the troops have been
recalled from their labour on the roads of Medeah, Cherchell,
and Milianah, and the clearings round the villages of the
Sahel. At this point they have done so much as to allow to
each colonist almost ground enough to insure him sufficient
produce of food for the ensuing year." Later accounts state
that the rainy season had set in, and the military operations
had been consequently suspended. General Bedeau was in
the mean time organising an expedition against Abd-el-
Kader.

A remarkably fine meteor, in the form of a very large ball
of fire, with a long train of electrical sparks, was seen on Sa-
turday last at Niort, in the Deux-Sevres, which disappeared
without bursting.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by
their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they
can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misropresenta-
tations ; and numerous cast s have shown how worthless may be
a policy obtained from the most influential office, which is un-
restrained by this equitable principle, which removes all anxiety
as to future dispute or litigation, and enhances immeasorably
the value of the policies as documents of security.
THIS IS 'I•HE ONLY COMPANY who give to the
assured on the mutual principle the whole of the mutual aeett-
saulations, and also guarat•tee the sums assured.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind them-
selves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for
which they were effected skald have been liquidated before the
claims tribe.

THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who
;rant in favour of creditors whole-world policies, whereby the
lebt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond tlae

MOURS, and STRICTURES, without CUTTING or CON-
FIN EMEN T, illustrated with numerous cases. Being a fami-
liar Exposition of the Practice of S. J. VAN BUTCHELL,
Surgeon Acconcheur.
" As more than one clergyman whom we know have received
benefit from the treatment of Mr. Van Butchell, we gladly
call attention to this work, containing, as it does, accounts of
numerous cases which have fallen within his practice, and the
perusal of which may be of advantage to others similarly af-
flicted. The work is very clearly and well written, and to be
understood without any labour."—The Church Intelligencer.
" This is a useful work—the complaint being the too fre-
quent attendant upon sedentary pursuits and habits. The
public reception of the work, which has reached seven editions,
is a sufficient stamp of its worth and ability. We can recom-
mend it to that large class who are unfortunately suffering
tauter the complaint of which it practically treats. Its state-
ments are confirmed by a collection of letters and cases."—Bell's
Weekly Messenger, Nov. 25, 1843.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
BOSANQUET V. GRAHAM.

This was the case in which the London and Westminster
Bank were plaintiffs, and the South Western District Bank
defendants, and which has been so often before the Court.
The defendant Graham was the public officer of the latter
bank, and in such capacity had executed a warrant of at-
torney to the plaintiff; on which judgment had been entered
up. A rule msi had been obtained to set it aside, and the
Court had directed an issue to be tried, in order to ascertain
the facts of the case. That issue had been found for plaintiff.
A new trial had been applied for and refit it So that every
question had been decided in favour of plaintiff.
The Attorney-General. this morning, applied to the Court
to discharge the rule nisi, to set aside the judgment as
against his client, Mr. Graham, with costs.—The Court
granted the application.

which does not tend to the development of the plot. The
interest never flags. The scenery is beautiful, and the
manner in which the piece is put upon the stage is be-
yond all praise. This piece will no doubt carry Mr.
Gladstane on successfully to the end of the season. Mrs.
Yates was called for at the fall of the curtain, and re-
ceived with loud applause. The house was very well
attended.

mittee of this Society would communicate with other
societies established in various parts of the country ;
and he hoped and trusted that ten days would not pass
before a similar society would be formed in every part of
England. It appeared to him, also, that those demon-
strations would induce the confidential advisers of the
sovereign to speak out plainly on the subject of the
corn-laws.—(Hear.) He thought that they were en-
titled to ask, not in the language of menace or of threat,
or even, perhaps, of any sort of reproach—that they
would be entitled to tell the Ministers of the Crown that
uncertainty with regard to their views on this subject
was an evil of no ordinary magnitude. We want to know
(continued the Noble Duke) what they are going to be
about?—whether they mean to maintain that protection
which is still left to us ? We will only ask them to
speak out, and no doubt they will, when they know the
opinions of so respectable a body of the farmers of the
country.—(Cheers.) He did not think it necessary to
detain them with any repetition of his recorded opinions,
further than t 6 say that no consideration whatever would
ever induce him to vote against the agricultural interest
of this country—he would not sanction the withdrawal
of one iota of the protection at present existing. No
threats, on the one hand, no cajolery on the other,
should ever induce him to depart from the position which
he now occupied.. Be did not speak from selfish feelings
when he declared his belief that on the well-being of the
agricultural interest was based the prosperity of the
, country and the welfare and happiness of every indivi-
dual residing in her Majesty's dominions.—(Cheers.)
Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, on the
motion of Sir Charles Burrell, Bart., the meeting
separated. _

of 1,0001. was at once subscribed ; the Duke of Rich-
mond, the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Egmont, the

OLYMPIC.

There is great difficulty iniecicling' upon the school
of criticism, by the rules of which a, modern English
drama is to be Judged. The question of the Unities re-
mains unsettled, and France—that: smiled at Voltaire's
elaborate comparison of Calderon with Shakespeare—
(both of whom he disliked, for the-one reason that each
was a poet and he was not)—Fran ce now delights in the
representation of dramatic poems, which are poetic in
their structure, and depend not upon, =ere rhyme for their
effect. The lapse of years between the parts of an ac-
tion was condemned by the critics, from the time
of Lopez de Vega to that of him who dreamed the glo-
rious dream of " Victorine." Leman Rede belongs to
the school which regards truth more than technicality,
and puts a story upon the stage with -the life-like energy
of an Italian painter or an Indian. story-teller. The
drama called the Profligate, produce d last night at the
Olympic, is a fine specimen of what may be done to re-
concile the adverse schools. It would be a hazard beyond
which we could not venture, to say Oat unity is in any
respect violated. The drama is a ben utiful work—to be
usefully read in the closet, or pleasantAly regarded on the
stage.

WILSON'S SCOTTISK ENTERYAINMENT.
Amongst the numbers who crowded to bear Mr. Wil-
son's second lecture upon the History and Music of
Mary Queen of Scots was the reporter for The Sun.
He found himself entangled in a throng'. of carriages,
which reached from Gower-street to Tott6nbam Court-
road. It was no small vexation to learn that the finest
throat in Great Britain (except a skylark's) was stopped
by a cold. He was informed that Mr. Wilson will be
able to give the entertainment on Monday next. Vexed
as he was at his own disappointment, he 'was much
gratified in observing the kindness with which it was
endured by the great gathering of song-lovers assembled
around the Music-hall in Store-street.

depressed. On Sunday the
Three per Cents. were quoted at 82f. 10c.
On Saturday evening the King had a large party to dinner,
including the Austrian and Neapolitan Ambassadors, the
Minister of Marine, General Excelmans, the Marquis de la
Place, and the Pope's Nuncio.
The King of the Belgians gave a grand ball and supper on
the 24th, at the theatre of Brussels, which had been tastefully
and elegantly fitted up for the occasion. The number of guests
is stated at nearly 3,000 ; amongst whom were all the aristo-
cracy of Brussels and its environs, the foreign ambassadors
and ministers, and the other foreigners of distinction resident
at Brussels. Their Majesties were in the Royal box, but the
King left it from time to time to go down to the stage and
pit, where the dancing was carried on, and converse with
sone of his plead.
Messrs. Demimuid, directors of one of the most extensive
ironworks in the department of the Meuse, have been declared
insolvent.

The shareholders of the Bank of France held a general
meeting, on the 26th, at which they re-elected M. Moreau to
be Censor, and MM. Jacques Lefevre, Delamare, and d'Eich-
that, to be Regents, adding M. Legentil in the room of M.
Cottier, deceased.

A letter from Algiers of the 10th inst., says The ba-
rometers having prognosticated rain, the troops have been
recalled from their labour on the roads of Medeah, Cherchell,
and Milianah, and the clearings round the villages of the
Sahel. At this point they have done so much as to allow to
each colonist almost ground enough to insure him sufficient
produce of food for the ensuing year." Later accounts state
that the rainy season had set in, and the military operations
had been consequently suspended. General Bedeau was in
the mean time organising an expedition against Abd-el-
Kader.

A remarkably fine meteor, in the form of a very large ball
of fire, with a long train of electrical sparks, was seen on Sa-
turday last at Niort, in the Deux-Sevres, which disappeared
without bursting.

THE GADDESBY MURDER.

OUTRAGE ON MRS. HODGES.—Since our publication
this morning we have been informed that some unknown
ruffian went to the house of Mrs. Hodges, late on
Thursday, and asked if she was not a principal witness
against Messenger. Mrs. Hodges, who had gone to the
door without a candle, seeing it was a stranger,
said " No," and shut the door. The fellow, pushing
it open again, exclaimed " It is a d—d lie ! you
are ! I will give you that for your trouble," at the same
time striking her a violent blow on the back, which
knocked her down and rendered,her insensible. She has
been very ill since, having thrown up blood more than
once. The police are making inquiries after this ruffian,
but we regret to state that they have not yet discovered
him.
SE-EXAMINATION OF MEssENuEß.—Messenger was
again under examination for two hours this day (Satur-
day) at the county gaol. We are only able to state that
Mrs. Hodges was again brought forward, having
been taken thither in a fly. Some doubt has been
thrown upon her testimony. She 'states that
when returning from Gaddesby on the 11th of
June, she paid one shilling at Syston to come up
by the railway ; this is the first class fare. Now on
the morning in question it is distinctly affirmed by
the officers of the Railway Company that no person pay-
ing either a first or second-class fare came up from Sys-
ton by either the first or second train, by one of which
she must have travelled to have arrived at Leicester
at the time she states she did. Nothing material
was elicited, and Messenger was further remanded to
Tuesday, being the fifth time since his re-apprehension.
