. 'EMU:MINSTER REVIEW, No. LXXX.
Clarke, London, 1844.
The ..openinz article in the,. present Number of this
i,,periOtcal,, entitled t` Shaksperian CritiCism and Act-
. !rig," is deveted. to a consideration of the Character
of 'Macbeth 'and-hiSwife,-bothef, Whem the Reviewer seems S—to think have hitherto been Misunderstood.
His object is to'shOw that the royal 'usurper has not
• the'slightest ' 'claim oil the synipittV'ef his
.readers ;
that he is intensely selfish; physically courageous, but
Morally an arrant,coWardl and that instead of being
the victim of fate tand.supernatural agency, he is the
victim only:of hist Own evil :passions. .This view of
Macbeth—which by the bye.. is whollyopposed to that'
taken by Hazlitt and Charles Lamb—is .inaintained
with considerable ingenuity, though we Cannot say
that the Reviewer has made us a convert to his rea-
soning. We admire-_ hiS skill and boldneiss, but we
dissent-. froM hii Conclusions, MPre -especiallyas, in his:
eagerness' to Make-Oa his case, he proves too much,
and adduces the testimony of 'certain passages which
all must see militate against his own view of the cha-
racter of Macbeth:: There is some truth in the fol-
lowing'-remark respecting Mrs: SiddonS; though we
fear k will not be very'acceptable to.her admirers :
`,` It is: not, a statue-like simplicity, to quote Mr.
Campbell's--phrase, that makes the essence of the
Shaksperian &anis, but a picturesque complexity,
to. which Mrs. Siddons's 'massive person and sculpt
tured , genius -. were; as essentially , repugnant as,
they , were akin to .the spirit -of the an-
tique. Her genius, it has been somewhere, well ob- •
served, was, in fact, as she herielf seems to. have.,
been conscious, rather-epic than tragic, rather didac
tic tha,n dramatic, rather Miltoiiian .than Shakspe-
rian." " Strafford" is -a critical notice of Mr.'Ster-
ling's late tragedy on the subject of thiS celebrated
renegade, which is highl=y eulogised, but not beyond
its deserts. In' "Traetical :Considerations for the
Promotion of Architecture" we 'find many service-
able suggestions, chiefly of. a matter-of--fact character,
and the article is,embellished with -several. apposite
illustrations--one of:whichy a•view of Wollatoni Hall,
Nottinghamshire, exhibits, evidences, of great skill
1
and pains-taking. .",Earl Spencer.and the • S to of
Parties" is a vigorous political diatribe, in whi h the
Tories and their l'eader, Sir Robert:Peel, .are .h ndled);
with little ceremony, and, the knout is applied o the
monopolists W ith the heartiest - good will: All dine
- to' the Premier's policy, when he first took.-the reins'
of Govdrnment, the Reviewer says that histor wil
not fail to record the' dayaning fact, 'that,' , tiring
twelve months of unexampled distress, he h the
power but not the will- to legislate for the re ief of
the poor. From an article on the subject of the,
" Progress of _Art," we quote the following strictures-
on Mr. Barry's plan of .the new Houses of Puha-.
meut : . • ,- - - -

, - "The Parliament,housesare, however, the ,great ar-
chitectural undertaking of the present day. Since the-
rebuilding of St. Paul's nothing so splendid hat been
attempted in Aritain, and indeed, since Versailles, scarce
anything on the Continent can compare' with thern. We
have also the satisfaction or knowing that the design is
the bestof our best architect, and that instead of the
grudging, economy that is said to have spoiled so :many
of our undertakings in art, the expenditure here has
been notonly liberal but lavish ; for had we been con-
tent with 'lt plain, honest brick building, with stone dres-.
sings, such as would have satisfied our fathers or our-
selves •tt few years ago, we might have had-all the ac-
commodation the present one will afford, and better ar-
ranged, for 150,000/. or 200,0004, whereas the estimates
for this one already amount to 1,200,0004 and it will not
be finished under a million and a half. Here, thee, is at
least a million of money spent on pure esthetic 1 orna-
ment, -a sum that would have' restored -to their pris-
tine beauty (if we . wanted Gothic) every cathedral or
church in the kingdom, or would have established
schools of art and design, with collections of art,;in all
' the principal cities in the kingdom ; this it has been de-
termined to expend in realising the design of one archi-
tect, and • already the nation are beginning to tire of
their bauble before they have got it, and to think they
have paid too much for what they ben to find oit will
not be satisfactory when finished. The river Mont is
now nearly completed, and as .111 r. Barry declares it to
be the best part of the design, we may safely assert that
the new buildings, though clad in the very prettieit and
best selected Gothic detail, will, when finished, be as
much like the bold, meaning, purpose-like buildings of
our ancestors as_ the very-pretty Swiss peasant girls and
very polite brigands and Albanians of our ball rooms are
like the rough originals. Every building of our ances-'
tors expressed in every part the purpose for which it
was erected, and with a degree of richness or simplicity
suited to its destination ; here, with the idea of produc-
ing a grand uniform whole, every part has beel made
externally to look exactly alike.._ Ihe ,Speaker's, house
is the counterpart of that of the Usher of the Black Rod,
and though the latter is obliged to share his _residence
with a librarian, that is not' to be. discovered froin the
exterior ; and equal' magnificence .is displayed hi the
apartments allotted to the clerks of the House and nil the
inferior offices. Indeed, whether. it is the. great confer-
ence hall or the public libraries ,or committee rooms,—
whether it is the Queen's robing room or alibrarian's
bedroom, each is externally the same ; and whether the
room is fifty feet-by thirty, or only fifteen feet square,
the stories throughout are of the same height, unss in-
deed,
as his been suspected, some of these fine- poking
windows are ,to be cut into two by concealed flors, a
falsehood no Gothic architect ever was guilty of, land a
meanness which two honest windows would never ex-
hibit." 1

FLUCTUATIONS OF CORN,' CURRE
CONSOLS, frbm- 1790 'to 1840.
A new edition of these Tables. (which ftp
several years ago) is published by Brooks, 8,
street, in a small quarto page as before, but
many dates added to the collectitin.
" Judieis o.....&riuni est, ut res, ita TE)IPORA rerum
Noscere." • ,
Canning doubted two things—facts and figure ; and
Sir R. Walpole, when his son took down a kto
read aloud, exclaimed, " Not history ! That I know
to be false." • But the span of human life being port,
comparison of dates insures accuraey, by di iding
history into minute compartments, as- an art st re-
duces a picture: In the good old days a perf t in-
difference prevailed as to facts, when-Gower, r ex-
ample, instructed our forefathers that Ulysses was a
" clarke who learned rhetoryke of Tully, m
,gic of
Zoroaster, and phlilosophy of Plato." Hithertp mo-
netary economists, and even the League, have ne-
.gleeted, this crucial test of dates. Surely. it is 'worth
observing that the Bank restriction preceded all ap-
preciable "_depreciation " by at least nine yeari ; but
the year when guineas sold at 245., was the verb same
_when gold was paid by license to French Marshals
(04 800,000 quarters of wheat. Also'guineas sold at
283. the identical year When 20;000,0004 mostly in
gold, was sent to Portugal and other subsidiaries. So,
in every case,- high price of wheat has ruled with
Manchester riots, and its low or falling price coMtem-
poraneously with one Bill to enforce rent by'renioving
land-marks in Ireland,. and another Bill for mUlcting
labourers,of hire (of keep) in. England. (all f6r the
benefit of Parliamentarians), yet a refere4ce to
" Bank notes" .shows, that, if the various ,corti-laws
failed to keep, up prices, it was because, for -want of
one-pound and lialf-ponnd notes, there was not prac-
tical money and national cash wherewithal. The.
American Gold Bill, which preluded their SpeCie
Order of 1836, is not given in the Tables ; tbiS point
of chronology should be settled, for the " operation"
derives a high tragic interest, as being the cause in

'HE `PASTE LANDS iNCLOSIJRE

BILL.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The farther incloiiire of 'waste lands at home, :which
is the 'object of a Bill now' before-Parliament, has its
ostensible advantages as well t.s evilS. If there is any
available quantity of good land in England uninclosed,
t or if, by means.of railway intercommunication, the way
were opened to re-colonise the many fertile, halfculti-.
voted districts of Ireland, theinclosure.of such territory
-Might tend- to reduce Competition among farmers, by
extending the field of employment, and to lessen the
civil effect Of the " vested interest" of agriculture, by
increasing the proportion :of the community interested
in such an ",interest.'.' . But it is more probable that,.
with the present ogricUltural practice,
°the mere effect
of such incloaure would be to increase the demand for
"protection," by increasing the quantity.of poor land
•to be protected, and to deprive the' great bulk of the
farniers' true and only efficient friends, the English agri.••
cultural labourers, of their at least nominal common
heritage in the domains-of nature.
The .British empire, however,_ embriteeS something
more than the mere extent of 'territory between the
Land's-end and John o 'Groat'S; and Steam. has, more-
`over, •so annihilated distance, that it were. surely wiser
to-think of inclosing the vast and rickcommons of our
distant possessions, than to Tun the risk at home of
swallowing up the common prOperty. in the already un-
wieldy estates of the English landlord; Our real duty
at home is to Carry inte practical operation improvements
in agricultural science; such an institution as that new,
projected in Yorkshire; under the title of the Land Drain-
ing Asociation, in which the name of SmithofDeanstori.
is conspicuous, affords- the true and Only legitimate pro-.
tietiOn to agriculture,: in the present state' of matters in
England. This right cannot be denied to the landlord;
but to-create new interests, to open the -field for a new
race of'yeomen, and fully to develope the resources of.
yeoman capital and yeoman industry, we must •go to

'CARL© WITETTY SESSIONS.
• 44'IaDY CAL *9)7."

.This "intereitang personage,. also known as Ellen
,Burke; Attfactell'a large body of persons on Thursday
last, at•the Carle* Petty Sessions, upon the occasion of
- beer preferririg‘the following charge against Lord Galmoy
• EllzaYrizell:;--'
6 "44hiP3'who appeared in court in the custody
of the governor of the gaol, was allotted a seat beside
'her counsel,. Mr. Thorp. She was rather showily
attired in a dress of crimson velvet, slightly faded.
She wore a large muff and a pink bonnet,
surmounted by -171: feather of enormous dimensions, and
for a while her features were concealed by a
thick flowinevell.: This beingrenioved, she presented to
the arikious gaze of u. densely crowded and mixed audi-
ence the appearance of a ruddy, plump, and rather well-
. looking country girl, of the middle size, stout propor-
tions, and apparently about twenty-five years of age.
• She was politely,handed into the witness box by head
constable DonoittWitrid having been sworn,
• M•••.... •
r. Thorp' Said--4 believe, Madam, your name is Ellen
Britler ? -WitneSs-,-Yes, Ellen "hider, Lady Galmoy.—
(Laiighte'r.). I am wife. of. Lord Giihnoy. We were
twice married. - The' Lord separated from me, and took
proceedings for a divorce. I met him in a gig on Tues-
day •last as I' Was going to his: place, Garrendenny
Castle,' ..te . him for my support, and to know if
he -would allow,: me -to live-with him as his wife.
Met, him., and Miss Frizell in a gig. I was in
a car too: 'I
returned and kept up with him till
we came to Ilyrne's stores. He stopped there to get some
Whisky, 'arid I stopped also. I asked him would he give
me support:. He bid me apply to the Court for it. I then
teok'hold of the'reinief his horse. lie began to whistle.
The people told ±6616 get up in the gig with him. Miss
Frizell kicked me befiiro this. Ho struck me with a whip
before Iput my foot on the gig. He struck me violently.
Only for the people he'd have kilt me. There was a
ardwd.-- -They used- no violence towards him. It was
-before 1 put my foot on the step he struck me. I was
pushed' into the gig by the
_people, and Miss Frizell
kicked me and also my father. He was present. There was
a child with her in the gig. She handed it to Lord
Galmoy. 'She is not married to him to the best- of my
opinions . He did not take the child from her, but was
whistling all the time. A man that was afraid of his life
WOJdn't.t whistling. He refused to let go the gig. He
struck me often. He then gave a man 2s. 6d. to go
for'the pollee., When,,they came up I had the reins in
my hand. .The :police took me. I thought to take his

wife, big ,T. did to-Mr. Tuckey. I was then committed.
I asked:l-kin if ^I Was to .get: no.:satisfaction or revenge
Out.of,3Sliss Frizell.-L--(Laughter.)
CrOSS-eicamined by Mr.- T. C BUTLER, who appeared
forLOrd Galinoy-:It is' about three years and a half
ainee'l first met Lord Galmoy ; it was by chance in the
town of Carlow, where I was with my mother pawning
some gowns.- (Laughter.) I was married to his Lord-
ship in, three Weeks afterwards: at Cullen's Wood, in com-
pany, with Peggy Nash, a servant, whom he sent to
America since. (The witness then described a second
marriage which was solemnised between her and Lord
Gibney+ in her mother's presence.) After three months'
residence at Garrendenny Castle (his Lordship's man-
sion) witness was turned out by the Noble Lord, and
has since been obliged to live with her parents. Lord
Galmoy fired shots at her, 'arid her father and mother
were also
,fircdat. Proceedings were taken for a divorce,
and alimony was allowed witness pending the trial in the
Ecclesiastical Court.

George Hendrick proved the leading facts as stated
by the 'complainant.
Patrick bleaney sworn—l was present at Mr. Byrne's
stores on Tnesday., Lord Galmoy stopped there to get
some liquor. I saw Lady Galmoy take the reins of the
horse. Lord Galmoy bid her let them go. Shesaid she
would nottillhe would make a settlement, or take herinto
the gig. "Put out the policeman's daughter," says she,
" and take up your lawful wife:—(Laughter.) You might
as well have no woman at all as the one you have.'
(Great laughter.) Lord Galmoy then began to beat
the horse. He reached as far as he could with the
whip, and struck her on the right hand. He
struck her and the horse together. I was there
from the commencement. I saw her get her foot on the
step. The people were helping to get her up on the gig.
She said she had a right to hold her own horse.--
(Laughter.) Lord Galmoy then chucked her by the
neck, and that young lady (pointing to the other de-
fendant) gave her a kick. It was a severe kick. The
child was in her arms. I saw nothing else happen.
James Kelly corroborated the testimony of the last
witness, and said the police took up Lady Galmoy by his
Lordship's order. Is not aware whether Lore Galmoy
is a magistrate or not.
The case for the complainant closed here.

After some remonstrance by Mr. Butler, Lord Gal-
mey's ,counsel, who insisted upon his right to address
the Belieli, the Magistrates ordered both the defendants
to give bail to abide their trial at the ensuing Quarter
Sessions, and that the complainant should be bound to
prosecute.

- LORD GALMOY V. MARY. AND EDMUND MERE.
The magistrates were then occupied with hearing Lord
Galmoy's complaint against the father and mother of the
complainant in the foregoing case, out of which the charge
arose. After describing the affray which had taken place,
his Lordship, having been sworn, proceeded to say :—I
drove on, as I did not like to have so many devils following
me.' Igot some spirits at Mr. Byrne's. While waiting
fOr it, this "young Burke" (Lady Galmoy) (Laughter) got
hold of my bridle. 'remonstrated with her. She drew
a crowd around me. I cut the horse to get away from
them. The defendants caught at my bridle, the two
old Burkes at one side and " young Burke " at the
other.—(Laughter.) I saw I could not get away, so I
gave myself up a complete prisoner. They took the horse
to a place where four streets met, that every one might
- see what was done, and that they might collect a large
crowd. The mob was furious, and cried out, "Down
with him, he's a Tory ; up with her, she's a Liberal."
—(Roars-of laughter.) They cried out, "Pull her out
of the gig." I swear that "young Burke" came up in
the gig without any one assisting her. I did not get her
by the neck ; ," young Burke" stamped on the girl's foot
who was in the gig with me.

Cross-examined by Mr. TirouP—l am acquainted
with this female intimately (alluding to Miss Frizell).
'The child isa relative of mine, is also a relative of her's;
it's as closely related to me as to her. I have known
tile, young lady five years. I had the honour of her
acquaintance betore I knew ".young Burke."
Mr. Thorp—Did not your affections change from her
when you became acquainted with " young Burke ?"
Lord Galmoy—No, they did not.
*r.; Thorp—Didn't she get inside of Miss Frizell ?

Lord Granoy—No.
Mr. Thorp—What ! Didn't you marry " young
Burke" after you knew Miss Prize!! ?
Lord Galinoy—l did, but that's nothing to the purpose.
Mr. Thorp---Now, wasn't it a love match between you
and ." young Burke ?"
Lord cialmoy.—Ncy indeed, it was not.
;Mr.! Thorp—Not a love match I Didn't you marry
here second time, lest the first wouldn't do ?—(Laughter.)
Lord Galmoy—That's irrelevant.
Mr. Watters--:Don't answer it.
Lord Galmoy—l could if I wished. The fact is I made
the second marriage under the influence of a damnable
falsehood, that I was to get 30,0001. with her.—(Loud
laughter.)
Mr. nutler—She was Barking you.
Loi4 Gulmoy—Aye, they all' Burked me.—(Loud
laughter.) Here nanie is not Burke at all. I did not
know what they, were when I met them on the car.
They might have been driving tollullinahone for all I
knew to the contrary. After I got the spirits " young
Burk? got hold of my reins.
Mr. Thorp—You_ call her " Ladyship" " young
Burke." •

Lord Gabioy—Aye, and I will call it to her. If you
km* as' much about her as I do, you'd call her " young
Burke too. What she attacked me for was alimony, or
maintenance. I bid her go to the Court. She might
have asked me to take her into the gig. When I began
to back the horse, the two old Burkes caught him. I
deny that she is my wife. I might have cut at her with
my whip. 'did not hear old Burke bid his daughter to
leave the horse.- •

-Mr. Thorp--Do you swear that this tender creature
held your horse?
Lord Galmor—Oh, how tender she is; she is as strong
as you are. She is stronger than any man in Court.—
(Loud laughter.)
COnstable M`Govran stated that be went down to
Byrne's stores' and saw a crowd there. The. eople were
lit. laughing': -Saw no stones thrown. The crowd said
Ellen Burke was his wife, and bade her stick to him.
There was no breach of the peace. Took her into cus-
tody, and brought her to Mr. Tuckey. She went of her
own accord.

The case closed here.
The Court then withdrew, and after deliberating some
time; returned and ordered all the parties to enter into
their own recogniza,nces to appear at the Quarter Sessions.
