M'Ginger and Vonpapper now recommenced,
wick redoubled virulence, their former altercation ; iu the
midst of which the invisible Miss Kickleoeckle went off in
what we would suppose a convulsion fit; for the splay foot
of Mr. flocbytoch, with whom, by the bye, she hag been
all the while engaged in a war of signals, was now hearts
to stumble about in search of a body, which be contrived
to convey away with all the care and anxiety generally be.,
stowed upon the victim of a swoon or a fainting Et.
The quick ear of Madrake alone, however, had intel-
ligence of this catastrophe. Messrs. Vonpepper and
M'Giuger were taking, with the rapidity of lightning, their
last solemn leave of each other for life.

" Aad it shall be this moment, too, Sir ;" were the fare-
well words of the much irritated Voupepper, as with an
agitated and half-frantic gesture he ran about seeking hie
hat and gloves.—" Good morning, Madrake, good morn-
ing. lam serry I shall not hare the pleasure of seeing you
again, at least in this house. And as far that every thing
but gentleman, there," he added with a look of passionate
scorn and defiance, " I shall teach him that I shall and will
go. Aye, go this very instant," he added, barely escaping
being snapped iu two by the door which his own violence
bad nearly driven from its hinges.
" Theu go, and be
more hurling vengeance upon his self-discarded antagonist.
—But, mercy on us ! what noise was that ?"
" Only Vonpepper trampling down Miss Kicklecackle
and some other body in her company," replied Madrake,
still more amused.—c. But go, in the name of humanity,
and inquire what is the matter."
_ _

" Well, I dare say I shall go and see," returned ;
who had much more phlegm in his disposition than his
neighbour Vonpipper ;—and bustling towards the landing-
place, " Merciful heavens ! Madrake, how could you
guess so well ? Miss Kicklecacklc, and her atiti Mr.
Hochytoch, are lying killed at thy bottom of the staiis.—
Vonpepper has done it," he added coolly, returning to the
apartment.

CONSTABLE'S MISCELLANY.-LIFE OF MARY

QUEEN OF SCOTS.

The author of the present volumes, Mr. Bell, has
given us a correct, and apparently an impartial esti-
mate of the character of this much calumniated Stuart ;
he has sifted with diligence, if nut altogether with sne-
cess, the conflicting testimonies respecting her, and
does what he conceives, and with great show of reason,
but bare justice to her memory, in making her a
virtpous, moral, and highly-injured Queen. His
summing up displays eloquence and ingenuity,
and the cursory remarks thrown in here and there,
after the manner of Gibbon, to relieve the triteness
of mere facts, evince a knowledge of life and hooks.
The following slight remark, is a prose plagiaris'
from Byron's Don Juan : if not, the coincidence of
expression is curious; in either case the resemblance
deserves notice: Byron says—
" Men are the slaves of circumstances, when
The circumstances seem the slaves of men,"
The present author, in alluding to some. points in
Mary's character, observes—
" Circumstances are not so mach the slaves of men as
men are of cirenmstarices."

If, as we said before, the coincidence of thought and
scpression in these two eases be not with the latter
intentional, it is at any rate carious, and Mr. Bell is
fully entitled to exclaim, " Pereant male qui ante
nos Rostra dixeraut." He is indeed an injured man,
for this remark is one of the best in his two volumes.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, itINE

THFLI.USON V. WOODI'ORD.

His LORDSHIP gave judgment in this case. The
question was, whether Mr. Cis.:4l-les Thelbison,
the grandson of the testator, was entitled with
his infant sort to live at the mansion-house,
equally -,viat the sons of the testator and tenstees,
contending, under the will, he was clearly entitled
so to do. Upon the case coming before the late
Vice-Chancellor, Sir Anthony Hart, he, af..
ter great consideration, was clearly of opinion
he had :ineh right, and made a decree ac-
cordingly ; this was the subject of appeal,
and his Lordship, though he had the greatest respect
for the high authority of Sir Anthony lion, yet
felt bound to decide according to his own impres,
sions, and he could not, upon the best attention he
could give the case, bring himself to accede to that
decision, and that, therefore, it must be overruled.
