Mr. Justice Ifol,tto‘:o, arrived. 'I ite flight
Sheriff, hea state...eat riage and four; attended by
a great number of jaeelin-nen op toot, and
compitnied by the Mayor anda large body Or the
coooty gentlemen on hitt seb tek; left the town
ahui\t Il oclock, for the purpose of meetino. the
Judges. As some as they met, the Jtidges alighted
trnu► their travelling ,carliages; and entered the
Sheriff's Coach ; and the whole pro Cession then
marched, into the town, preceded by the usual
sound of trumpets. The procession stopped tit
the :Yokes' lodgings, where their Lordships re-
mained an boor together ; and at one o'clock pre-4
eiselY went , to hear
,divine service at the parish
chinch Saints.. This large and beautiful
building was in an instant filled with people of all
ranks; but the far, greater proportion seemed to
he country gentlemen with their families. The
Sheriff's Chaplain preached a sermon on the
text', "IVoe to them that .think evil good; and
good evil." The Object of his discourse was
to show, that the increase of crime, and es-
pecially o.f .rebellion and treason, was to be
ascribed ,entirely to the propagation of thoSe re-
ligions doctrines of the different seceders front
the Chord!, who preaCh up faith.without, works,
and that crinie; being imputable, to man's nature
rather. than to his habits, -is no bar, but even
recommendation, ttr' the favour of Heaven. He
even compared the insurrectionists of the present
day with. the puritans .of the days of Charles. 1., as-
Selling that, from a false view of the will of God,
these wretched creatures thought their treasons
not Merely justifiable, hut meritorious and righte-
ens. He did not illtictrate this position by any
reference to actual cases, but stated it to be ail
inference drawn trout his intercourse with tliffe-
rent criminals in the neighbouring counties.—
The service lasted till near half-past two, and the
Judges then proceeded to the County Hall, and
opened the proceedings.
At halt-past two o'clock their Lordships enter-
ed the Court. The Attorney• General, the Soli-
citor-General, Sergeant Vaughan, Mr. Choke,
Sergeant, Copley, Mr. Gurney, Mr. Richardson',

Mr. Baron RicnAltDs said, it was matter ofAzt eat
satisfaccion to See so numeioui anti so-resireetable
an attendance of Grand J:irots ; but that tl.ere
Was nothing to he Submitted to ORA at present.
They' should be in Their places ; and if any thing...
.should occur to be laid before them, notice would
be given to them ; and he had no doubt but they
would attend upon receiving such notice.
The proclamation against vice and immorality
being read, the C.utEF 13Attost, turning towards
the repot tens whom he saw in Court, " Gen-
tlemen, the Court expect that nothing of the pro..
.ceedings. %thick are to begin to-morrow shall be
published till the whole shall be finished t 1 give
this notice now, and shall repeat it to-morrow,
that Gentlemen may be aware, that if, after this
mStice, any of the proceedings which shall be-
gin to-morrow be published, the Court have all
agreed that, it shall be taken notice of in the pro-
per stay."
The CumF BARON, then turning to the Attor-
ney-General, asked,him if he had any communi-
cation to make ,tatlie Coort cooceroing the mode
in which he meant to pro( eed ?
The ATToRNEY-GENEKAL Said, that it might

prisoners, meant to tecommetuf, nordid he ask
a premature disclosure of I hem. Stich a number

objection to such a mode. -

LITERARY REVIEW.

The :NE'S of VIRGIL. Translated by CrIARIL'S SVMMeNs,
D. D. of Jesus College, Oxford.—R. MINTER, St. Paul's
Church-yard; J. Posapa, Pall Mall.
1-I,leing selected from those books of 'DRYDEN'S
Translation ort his Poem which are the most happily
.executed, such passages as appeared to us to be ti :c
best, :we have placed them by the side of their
parallels in the translation which has
:lately been
published ; and we conceive that our Readers
bav, not only been gratified with the regale of
.poetry which we have, thus set before them ; but
have also (seen pleased candour with
which we have submitted the decision of the Ties-
aimn at issue to their own uninfluenced judgiNents.
17roin the commencement of our underinknig we
have left the pleading of their causes to the tians-
lators themselves; and if we have not refrained
from occasionally delivering our opinion in favour
Of our contemporary, it has been in consequence of
our persuasiOnaliat the case was.evident, and that
we shohld Speak. with the fullest concurrence of
our kl.eaders,; FrOm the Fourth Book, which is
the first of those that were deservedly declared by
•the old Bard.to be ii s favourites, we have pro-
ceeded wikh our citations through the Seventh
and the Ninth, and are now, of course, arrived at
She Tenth. Of.this Book, which strikes us, in
'the original, as : the least pleasing and the least
Finished of the twelve, which constitute the Poem,
ve will content ourselves with giving one specimen
of the translations 'which we hasie been regarding :
but our single'extract shall be a brilliant one: that
of the spegch of Venus in the CotinA of the gods.
'1 0 Pacer ! 0 hominum divanique alert, poiestas !"
" 0 power immense! eternal Energy.:
(For to tchat else 1)i-04A:tido can we fly?)
Seest thou the proud auftliaos, how they dare
11l 'fields, unpunish'd, Mid insult my care ?
How lofty fuRNUS vaunts amidst his train,
in shining arms triumphant on the plain ?
- Been in their hues and trenches they contend:
And scarce their walls the Trojan troops defend.
The town is with slaughter, and o',-rfluats'
With a red deluge, their increasin,4 moats.
..(ENeas ignorant, and far troin thcocy,
Has left his camp eiposed, without defence.
This endless outrage shall they still sustain?
- Shall Troy, renew'd,.he forced and fired again ?
•
A second siege any hauish'd issue fears;
And new DIONi EVE in arms appears.
Oee more audacious inortal.will he bound;
And I, thy daughter, wait another wound.
Yet, if with fates averse,- without tiny leave,.
The Lotilin lauds my piogeny .receive,
Bear they the pains of violated law ;
And thv protection from their aid withdraw.
But it the Gods their sure success foretell,
If those of heaven consent with those of hell.
To promise Italy,—who dare debate
The power of Jove, or fix another fate ?'
'What should 1 tell of tempests on the main ?
Of Aoeus usurping NePar NE'S reign ?
Of tats sent, with BaCchanalian heat,
To inspire the matrons, and destroy the fleet?
Now JUNO to the Stygian sky descends,
Solicits hell for aid, and anus the fiends.
That. nym, example wanted yet above:
An act that well oecame the wife of Java.
ALEcTo, raised by her, with rage inflames
The peaceful bosoms of the Latian
IMperial sway no wore exalts my nuked :
(Such hopes I had, indeed, while heaven was kind.)
- Now let my happier tots possess my place,
Whom JOVE prefers before the Trojan race ; '
And conquer they whom von with conquest grace ! )
Sin- e you earn spare, I-oM all your wide command,
No spot of taro, no hospiiaAe land,
Which may my wandering fugitives receive,
(Since haugaty JUNO will not give you leave)
Then, Father ! (if i slid may use that name)
By rutn'd Troy, yet smoking irons the flame,
1 beg yoll, let AscaNius us .my care;
Be freed froM danger a.id dismiss d the war.
luglorious let him .live without a crown. -
The father may be cast on coasts unknown,
'Struggling with fate; but let me save the sop.
Nine is CYTHERA. mine the Cyprian toners;
-In those recesses, and those sacred bowers
Obscurely let him rests his right resign
To promis'd empire, and his Julian line.
Then Carthage- may the Ausonian towns destroy,
Nor fear the race of a rejected boy.
What profits it ES y son to 'scope the fire,
Arni'd with his gods and loaded with his sire :
To pass the perils of the seas and wind:

To reach the Italian shores, if, alter all,

Much better had he curb'd his high desires;
And hovcr'd o'er his ill-extinguished tires.
To Simois' banks the fugitives restore ;
• And give them back to war, and all the woes before."
llavnes.

To the scholar anti the critic it would be un-
necessary to point out the inaccuracies, and the
,faulty expression, discoverable in this extract. In
the following, as we persuade ourselves, will be
found not only more correctness, but a higher
tone of poetry, and a stronger resemblance to
-the grace and energy of VIRGIL.
" 0 Sirel the eternal might which all confess !
Whose power alone can succour our distress!
Seest thou how rage the foes? how Tu to; u s steed
Insults-the field, and how the vangnisWd WeeLi?
Even Troy's strong mounds avail.not now to save,
ller foaming: trenches roll a crimson wave.
Even in her inmost camp she feels the sword;
And not a groan can reach her absent lord.
But h ist thou eternal scige berdoom ;
With foes still hovering o'er her second bloom?
While no reserve of power her hope supplies;
_ And, if she fall, she falls no more to rise,
See,-too, from Arpi summon% to destroy,
-Tvatniis rushes once 3gain. on 'Troy
' And I again may bleed, yet doom'd to feel,
Though sprung from thee, a mortai's impious steel.. -
If not beneath thy peace, but braying thee,
My Trojans toil'd to"Latium.threugh the sea,
-Let their unhallow'd deed thy vengeance prose
I ask nut favour for the foes of :love. .
Rut if, obedient to thy awful word,
By Heaven alike and by the Manes stired, •
Thither they steeed, what power, controlling thine,'
'Can change thy law, and other fates 'assign ?
'Why should I name SKI CAA'S: ilarniug.sceue;
And lals, wing'd with whirlwinds by' her queen?
Why-speak the tempests 4rlingqn the main; -
When-their bribed king releaed.tperu from the chain ?
And.now, since this aldne retuain!d untried, '
She-summons hell to combat on her side : •
AndAire A L CCM, bursting on the light,
Raves, and through Latium scatters black affright.
The lofty hope of Empire I resign ;
Thafeherish'd hope while follow, yet was Mine:
Let. those thy love prefers, prevail and reign.
But, if for Wretched TI OY no larpi remain;
And so thy cruel consort shall di,pose,—
' By Troy's pale ashes, and her of woes,
, Sire ! I implore thy pity ;. let me bear
' .SA'e from the storm of war her.hlooining heir !
Asex:aus yet be mine! The sport of seas,
Still let lENEAS rove, as' chance decrees!
• But let my love his guiltless offspring shield;
_ And draw my grandson from the deathful field. .
To use Cy cane and InALia bow:
PApnos and ANIATHus my sway avbre.
There let him chasein soft inglorious rest,
Arms and renown for ever from his breast.
And let fierce Carthage o'er kusonia ride ;
No city there to check the Tyriaii'pride.
What boots it now, that dauntless-and entire.
My hosts have piercer( the heart of'Grecian lire; -
--And, seeking Latium to rebuild their state,
Hare borne and hauled all the, storms of late'?
Were it not better, that, uneross'd the flood,
They yet bad turd the _Kids u-hire lion stood ?
Give them', 0 Sire! their Simois again,
With all their labours on the-Phrygian
For Troy's poor sons their Troy we now implore ;
'To fight and perish on their euttire 'shore.", SYX:vioNs.
