TATTERSALL'S.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS,

Lord Vernlam's taro; noininations were brought up yes-
terday for the first time and backed jointly at 16 to 1 ;
few others were mentioned. There was some conversa-
tion in the course of the afternoon respecting the bets on
Cant for the St. Leger, which gives rise to the question,
" Whether bets are lost which were net specified named
or not named." There is plenty of room for argument ;
for, although bets are understood to be play or pay at Tat-
tersall's, it may fairly admit of dispute whether they can
be considered so in the present ease, the hOrse not being
named. As considerable sums are at issue, it is not im-
probable that the matter will have to be decided by the
Jockey Club, which is the only authority in these cases.—
The following are the present odds

Sir" Richard Phillips has just published t!..e
first number of " A Personal Tour thrbug,h the
United Kingdom, describing Living Objects
and contemporaneous interests," which includes
Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Leicester-
shire. We have been very much gratified with
it, for Sir Richard has a great talent for obSer-
vation ; and having lived long in the husS:world,
he is enabled to compare the past with the pre-
sent. We do not shaie all his opinions, nor do
we think that. they are always consistent with
each other ; but we are not, on that account, the
less willing to dokiStice to his merits as an in-
telligent tourist. To those who complain that
the English are far behind, in all but the me-
chanical arts; that•their literature consists chiefly
-of light reading for mere loungers; and who
point to the numberless works constantly appear-
ing in Germany, on Jurisprudence as'a science,
Theology, Philosophy, Antiquities, &c. sse may
partly admit the truth of the accusation, and yet
vim.; the present state of things without despond-
ency. We are becoming every day less and less
a vulgar people. Lackington made a bookselling
tour in 1787, to Edinburgh ; arid he observes,
" although I went by the way of York, New-
castle-upon-Tyne, &c. and returned through
Glasgow, Carlisle, Leeds, Lancaster, Preston,
Mancheiter, and other considerable places, I
was much surprised, as well as disappointed,-at
meeting with very few of the works of the
most esteemed authors, and these few -con-
sisted in general of ordinary editions ; besides
an assemblage of common trifling books- bound
in sheep,. and that, too, in a very bad manner.
It is true, at York and Leeds there were a few
(and 'but very few) good books; but in all the
other towns between. London and Edinburgh,
nothing but trash was to be, found; in the latter
city, indeed, a few capital' articles are kept, but
in no other part of Scotland." Sir Richard

in regard to Dissenting Ministers universally, his
(the Rev. Mr. Hilliard's, of the large' Indepen-
dent Congregation) house is the unostentatious
rendezvous of the best, literary intelligence of the
vicinity, 'antrthe depot of a.well-supported Book
Society. I take credit to Myself for having been
instrumental .in propagating such Institutions,
and perhaps-my exertions have, within the last
thirty years, increased them tenfold. I found,
in consequence, that the Ministers of the several
denominations in Bedford have their Book So-
ciety ; and one at least is connected. with the
Church Establishment. 'What a .salutary

ence must the- cirehlation of the best books and

which illustrates the improving, liberality of the
Dissentersl namely, that every Meeting has a
Book Society connected with it, for the circula-
tion of miscellaneous literature,• of which in'ge-
neral the Minister is the -agent." Everywhere
we find the same appearances, an increasing de-
sire of knowledge, and' increased means of gra-
tifying it ; so that even -the. villages have their
book societies. It would seem, that for this
spread of knowledge we are indebted to the Dis-

lity of their doctrines; and the Church Clergy
ascribe it partly to the vigour of the Dissent ingln-
stitutionS for various purposes, both Of religion and
charity." We hail these appearances as full of
promise for the future; The Dissenters improve
the Church ; the intelligence of the lower orders
improves the higher in time. It is true that our
literature has hitherto been almost exclusively
calculated for idle loungers ; the diffusion of
taste for liberal' knowledge in the. middle and.
lower Classes will in time, open a demand for all
manner of bOoks. As yet a bookseller dkel
hardly venture on the publication of an exten•
sively scientific Work, from :tbe limited nature
of the demand ;, and a Review dedicated to sucli
an important subject as Jurisßrudence has been

We yeiterate. our prayer on behalf of the starv-

beings is no less worthy of deliberate considera-
tion than of effectual relief. " They cannot

ashamed." They cannot. work, because they
are almost in every instance 'of a

of these.ekiles, instead of proceeding at once to,
England, sought refuge at first in (...iibraltar, and
others in the neighbouring State of Portugal"
From Gibraltar, after a residence of consider-
able dUration, they were stiddenly driven, at the
requisition of FerdinanXs Ministers, in many in-
stances without being allowed time to pack up
their 'clothes.. The reingees who had been
granted an asylum in. Portugal during the latter

many Spaniards had voluntarily taken shelter
here, for the sake of being fea. and maintained
by the charity of England. Good God ! have
they who gave utterance .to such an accusation,
reflected for a moment on the meaning:of it ?:
The highest rate of payment from the funda of
the Committee (for it is their list, not the Go-
vernment one, which has furnished us with mat-
ter for this article), we believe, has in no case
exceeded 48s. or 50s. per month to any fathei of
a family, perhaps two guineas ; but we take the
outside calculation. Men of the highest rank
among the exiles were forced to exist upon that
pittance—the inferior ranks upon much less.
