SPORTING MAGAZINE.

We have here two engravings—one, the " Lost
Shoe," whose foreground exhibits some effective
grouping ; and the other, the " Miller," which
is a very spirited plate, full of animation, with a
well-defined, picturesque mountain distance.
Of the literary contributions, the most enter-
taining is the " Weed," which is an essay in
praise of tobacco, which would have,horrified the
nerves of.that determined enemy to the weed—
King James the First.

SPORTING RR VIE W.

There are several smart sporting articles in this
Number; and among them is one entitled " Re-
collections of a Sportsman's Life," which abounds
in incident; and another, under the head of Cam-
bridge and Cambridge Men " which is mani-
festly the production of one who is no stranger
to the amusements of that University. His
cursory remarks on Newmarket are true to the
letter, especially where he alludes to the " per.
feet air of business. which universally prevails,
and the absence of all that gaiety and glitter
which to many form the charm of a race-course."
The engravings are neither better nor Worse than
usual.

Madrid Journals of the 93d ult. have been re-
ceived. A stormy debate on the Address still
occupied the Cortes. A project of law was also
laid befhre them for preventing all appeals to
Rome, and virtually making the Sovereign of
SPAIN head of the Spanish Church. This pro-
posed law will create a great ferment, not only
in Spain, but at Rome.

Mr. MACAULAY, Mr. SHIEL, and the other
dashing literateurs of the late Ministry, whose
splendid talents received from the nation, through
the Liberal party, a rich reward, have been en-
gaged, we have no doubt, dttriiig the recess, in
intense study of the great questions which now
agitate the community, and will be prepared,
when Parliament meets, to throw a flood alight
on whatever is doubtful or obscure. They have
not, as far.as we are aware, contributed anything
to the Liberal cause since the Parliament was
distnisF_el, and we conjecture, therefore, that
they have been secretly, and in retirement, ap-
plying their minds with all diligence to the sub-
jects in dispute. Parliament is about to open, and
we shall look for a great blaze of illumination
from the learned men and great orators of our
party.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 31

IN RE CHARLES WILSON BAKER.
The insolvent, who is a comedian, and stage-manager
of the Olympic Theatre, applied to be discharged. He
was still the manager of the Olympic.
In answer to a question, he said he had proved under
the estate of Mr. Bunn, but there was no chance of a
dividend. The case was adjourned for a service on a
creditor. The insolvent, who is on bail, to be discharged.
TUESDAY.
IN RE ALEXANDER M‘DONNELL.

The insolvent had been a bankrupt about eighteen
months ago ; and now, on his application to be dis-
charged under the Act, was opposed by Mr. Woodroffe,
on behalf of a number of creditors. The grounds of oppo-
sition were, that in inducing those parties to give him credit,
he never stated the fact of his being an uncertified
bankrupt ; and that subsequently, on demanding pay-
ment of their debts, he was guilty of the most insulting
and insolent conduct towards them.
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN' said it was quite sufficient
for creditors to suffer the loss of their goods, without
being met with insolence when making their just de-
mands, and in all such cases he felt inclined to inflict a
severe punishment. He should, therefore, order the in-
solvent to be remanded for six months from the date of
his vesting order.

general meeting at the Exchange of the Merchants of

for or against an accession to the German Custom-house.
Of 140 persons present, only two were in favour of the
accession.- All the others wished for a petition against
it. The petition (or memorial), supported by powerful
arguments, is already forwarded. It is to be hoped that
the other cities of the kingdom will follow the example.

_ .
COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE.
An able paper, on " British Arms as they
were, and as they are," sets in contrast the rela-
tive losses of the conflicting powers during the
Marlborough and Peninsular campaigns, and,
from the showing of the French themselves,
evinces the greater loss to be invariably on their
side. This has led to au investigation on the part
of two of their own authors, to account
for this startling fact, who, after due scrutiny,
arrive at the conclusion that the predominant
cause of the victories of the British over their
antagonists, chiefly arises from the superiority of
our arms and the action of their fire. The
" Wreck of the Wager," with the stirring inci-
-dents attached to the insubordination of its
and the sufferings undergone by

MAW AND POLICE.

On Monday; at Kensington Police Court, Major Isaiah
Linwood Verity appeared on a warrant charged with
having committed a violent assault with a life preserver
on Captain William Gordon, of Brompton-square. It
appeared that the two gentlemen passed each other in
the. square on Friday night last, when the Major coughed,
and the Captain returned the compliment. This salute
led to high words, which were followed by heavy blows,
severely injuring the arm of Captain Gordon. It ap•
peered the rencontre arose out of some old grudge
The defendant was bound over to appear at the Sessions,
himself in 5001., and two sureties in 2501. each.
Yesterday, at Marlborough-street, Fred. Rayner, a
young gentleman allied to a family of distinction, was
fined 41. for wantonly ringing at the door of several
houses in Regent-street. at between five and six o'clock
this morning, and disturbing the inmates. The fine was
immediately paid. •
At Union-hall on Monday, Enoch Woods, a confidential
clerk in the employment of. Messrs. White and Green-
well, extensive linen-drapers in Blackfriars-road, and
Elizabeth Woods, his mother, were charged in conjunc-
tion with defrauding the above firm of 1001. and up-
wards. It appeared that the male prisoner had been en-
trusted with the purchase of goods on behalf of his em-
ployers, and suspicions having arisen that all was not
right, an investigation took pace, when a large defi-
ciency was found in a particular stock. The female
prisoner aided in defrauding the establishment. Both
prisoners were committed for trial ; but, on the applica-
tion of Counsel, the son was adjudged to enter into his
own recognizance in the sum of 200 l and find two
sureties of 1001. each ; and the mother to find two I
sureties of 501. each.

METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE.

The author of the " Note-Book of an Irish
Barrister" resumes his diverting legal sketches
this month, with a biographical memoir of Mr.
Justice Crampton—one of the most eminent
lawyers that the Irish bar has produced for
many years. This gentleman was, it .seems,
distinguished for his attainments at the Dublin
University, " where his career was remarkably
brilliant. In his under-graduate course he bore
away every distinction in science. And though
less remarkable for his classical attainments, yet
his knowledge in that department approached a
first-rate character.. In mathematics he had no
rival, and though many who have since risen to
renown were among his competitors, yet he
distanced them all, and bore away premiums
and certificates almost without the appear-
ance of an effort, As a lawyer," adds the bio-
grapher, " Mr. Crampton did not hold the high-
est rank, but he was always considered a safe and
steady advocate. In knowledge of court prac-
tice, a very intricate and also a very emolumen-
tary department of the profession, he was mi-
nutely versed." Of the remainit, articleS, the
one most to our taste is the "Batchelor of Fifty."

Times, December 3, 1841.
This useful matter-of-fact volume has just been published by
Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar,
and will no doubt be, as it ought to be, in the hands of
every merchant, banker, and tradesman in the country. It
is, independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis-
rosible to every counting-house and shop, a curious sta-
tlAticel monument of the extent, importance, trade, and
wealth of the metropolis, and as such a document deserving
the attention even of persons who are not immedhetely in-
tere3ted in commercial and business pursuits. The ores •nt
volume fur 1842 contains some important new matter, with
which the preceding volumes were not furnished—it has an im-
portant addition, " The official. Directory," an alphabetical
list of all persons holding situations under the Crown, of all
persons holding situations in the East India .House, in the
Bank of England, and in the various law, city offices, and all
other public offices. This addition is of itself enough to show
the great pains taken by the Proprietors to render the book
perfect. There is also some useful information given relative
to the " Money Order-office," to which, if the public would
pay more attention than they have hitherto done, less would
be heard of the loss of money by the transmission of remittances
by post in the manner usually adopted. The number of stamps
is .ued to the various newspapers published throughout England
and \Vales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties
on advertisements paid by each paper respectively, and, indeed
a mass of information is brought together from which the best
informed may- derive some increase of knowledge, and to
which the.attention of the most ignorant and careless can
hardly be called in vain. As far as the cursory examination
can justify an opinion, and it is next to impossible to pay to
such a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears
to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance,
and an excellent judgment for arrangement.

INVENTIONS.

In evidence of the great demand for'improve-
ments called for at this moment by the present
unsatisfactory stale of our manufacturing fur-
naces, no less than three patents appear for the
purpose of remedying existing defects, and one
of them by Dr. Mohttn proposes an artificial fuel
for their consumption, composed of certain sub-
stances specified. A series of scientific notices
closes the Number,toge tiler with a communication
from Mr. Perring, many years a resident in
Egypt, who states the singular fact, and supports
it by authorities, that anciently the whole of
Egypt was, like China, surrounded by a wall to
shelter the interior from the incursions of the De-
sert tribes : remains of it are still.met with in the
Fyoom, and it was built of small crude bricks,
the total length being probably about 1,400
miles, averaging 15 feet high and five feet thick .

TITUS AND R ONIC U S.— Charles Knight.
With the usual ornamental vignettes and pic-
torial additarnents, Mr. Knight, in pursuance of
his Shaksperian series, advances "Titus Andro-
nicus" this mouth, which is promised to be fol-
lowed by " Pericles." Appended is a dissertative
essay, which endeavours to prove, both from
directsay and indirect testimony, the authenticity
of this contested play.

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

This Magazine WiireatryilprOVed under its
new managesnent, for the articles are better.
adapted to the public taste, are more carious in
their character, and infinitely - less puzzling and
metaphysical than they used to he. We can un-
derstand them now, which is a great point gained.
"An English Heart., or the Fe:nate Foscari," is
a tale by the late Miss Isabel 11111—an accom-
plished authoress, who has but recently passed
from among us. The tale is illustrative of the
strong passion which some Englishmen feel for
their native country and is, we are assured,
founded on fact. • In the criticism on "Paul de
Rock's Novels"—which are just now quite the
rage tit Paris—it is justly remarked that "his
greatest defect, and the greatest objection to his
being popular here, is his indecency. This can
sometimes be avoided in translation, for it is_
sometimes merely verbal and accidental ; but
there are many of his most ludicrous situations
founded on, and entwined with subjects of too
Smollettish a nature, either for translation or
female perusal." The least offensive atzainst de-
cency of De Rock's novels is his " Barber of
Paris," which accordingly, we believe, has
already appeared in an English dress. The
" Memoir of Miss Isabel Hill" is by her brother,
the editor, and is penned. in a touching, un-
affected style.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)

William Flood was charged with violently assault-
ing police cOnstables 108, 132, and 72, of the G division.
An old sack was the Only article that screened the
prisoner's nudity, his face was much cut, and the con-
stables were-likewise much hurt, 72 G-rather seriously.
Last night, between 12 and 1 o'clock, the prisoner
was shouting in Silver-street, Clerkenwell. 72 G de-
sired him to'go away, but he refused and. struck the
constable, a scuffle ensued, both fell in the mud twice
together, at length they regained the pavement, .and
the prisoner pushed the officer down a flight of steps
into an old cellar, where he lay for some minutes; the
prisoner took to his heels but was stopped by 132 G,
who brought him back to the cellar, where 72 was fast
recovering himself; the struggle was again renewed ;
the prisoner caught the finger of 72 in his mouth and
nearly bit off the top of it; the constable sprang his
rattle, 108 came up and seized the prisonen, but he
broke away from him, leaving the entire of his dress
in the constable's hands. At length he was overtaken
and subdued.
Mr.Ga E EN woon said a more daring, ferocious ruffian,
had seldom come before him, he would not fine him,
but sentence him to 21 days' imprisonment and hard
labour.

NEW COURT.

It was a considerable time before the business
of the Court could be proceeded with, in con-
sequence of the absence of witnesses and prosecu-
tors, a matter of frequent complaint on the first day of
the sessions. The Grand Jury having returned into
Court with true bills, several prisoners, the persons
named, were placed at the bar, and arraigned. Several
of them put in a plea of guilty.
James Brookland, for stealing a gallon of beer, the
property of George Harman, pleaded guilty, and was
sentenced to one week's imprisonment in Newgate.
John Kennard, a youth of 17, was indicted for
stealing three bank-notes, value 207., and a sum of
621. in gold, the property of James Paiuter Davis.
The prisoner, up to the time of the theft, had borne
an irreproachable character ; the money was a remit-
tance from the country, and the largeness of the
amount was too much for the prisoner's virtue.
Mr. PAYNE appeared for the prisoner; he did not
make any defence, but urged in mitigation the good.
character of the prisoner, and the fact that a lexge
portion of the property had been recovered.
The officer had in his possession 461. of the amount,
besides various purchases that had been made by the
prisoner with the residue. The prisoner threw him-
self on the clemency of the Court.
London, England, 1842-11-29

Governor-General sent to India by Sir Robert Peel
would, immediately upon his arrival there, commence
a system directly contrary to the pledges given
by the Minister who sent him. This is an
improbability so very strong that the weightiest
evidence must be required to shake the presump-
tion arising from it. Now, what is the evidence
adduced by Lord Ellenborough's accusers? Certain
orders for retrograde movements, assumed to have
been issued, or to have been intended to be issued.
But granting the fact of these orders, who knows
their ulterior purpose ? There are two thinks indeed
that may be known to every one, leading to a conclu-
sion that the orders issued or intended by Lord Ellen-
borough did not contemplate any other course but
exactly that course which was adopted with such
triumphant success. These one or two things are
the facts, that no unnecessary march was made
by any portion of the army, however small ;
no opportunity, however trifling, was lost ; not
a man's labour, nor a single day was wasted—
the whole grand operation, extending over a field
of about 1,200 miles by .500, fell into working
order like the most exquisitely-finished piece of
machinery—an engine contrived with consummate
art of inflexible and indestructible materials. Such
is not the effect of timid and vacillating councils.
But the destruction of Kelat i Ghilzie, and other
strong places, concurring with the alleged orders for
a retrograde movement, is advanced to confirm the
charge of intending to abandon the prisoners. The
ruins of Ghnznee, however, tell why the works of
Kelat i Ghilzie, &c., were destroyed—namely, incon-
templation, not of the abandonment of the prisoners,
but of the ultimate evacuation of the Affghan terri-
tory. In short, assuming that the Governor-General,
from the first, intended that which he had actually
done, every step of his conduct will appear clear, in-
telligible, and consistent ; but, to credit an opposite
hypothesis, we must get over a score of difficulties
and contradictions. -

TILE AERIAL STEAM CARRIAGE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ATLAS.

SlR—From the proverbial respectability of the
Atlas newspaper, the public are inclined to place con-
fidence in statements originating in its columns, yet
the announcement of the 4th instant, respecting the
" Aerial Steam Carriage," made many of my friends,
as well as myself, exceedingly sceptical as to its cor-
rectness. I have, therefore taken much pains to
ascertain the fact, and have now no hesitation in cor-
roborating the paragraph you have submitted for the
public information.
It is perfectly true that such an invention is in
existence, totally distinct from the principle of bal-
loons ; that a working model has been shown me,
which, by its action, appears to, establish the perfect
practicability of travelling through the air, being so
complete and simple in its construction, and the com-
bination of its parts so extraordinary, that little doubt
remains that the important results of the invention
will be fully achieved.
I am given to understand that the first carriage will
be ready for operation early in the ensuing year ; it
therefore behoves individuals to await the develop-
ment of this wonderful invention, when it may be•
come an important subject for consideration as to the
changes that will result to society, whether under the
control of the Government, or in the hands of a pub-
lic company.—l am, Sir, your very obedient servant,

holds out to the nation but a slender hope of any •
very great extension of trade by means of the
new ports which have been opened to us in
China. We ascribe the slow progress made by
the Asiatics in the use of our commodities, par-
ticularly those of Hindostan, who are so much
under our control, to the poverty of the bulk of
the people, to the general slavery which pre-
vails, and to the comparative unchangeableness
of their habits.

Although the United States scarcely contain
one-sixth of the population of our empire in
India, the average declared value of our exports
to that country during the ten years ending with.
1840,, hampered as that trade has been, was
7,800;00.01., proving the greater probability of
extending our trade With a population of
European descended men than with a population
of Asiatics. That comparative statement shows
also how much greater would be the benefit
of free trade, which we may command by
abolishing our own restrictions, than any othe
trade which the direct action of statesmen may
procure for the country. If the opening of four
new ports in China be a proper occasion for
public rejoicing, as we think it is, how much
more ought we to rejoice if we should, by the
abolition of our own bad laws, open the ports of
the world?

We are not inclined to undervalue the new
opening which the success of our arms has ob-
tained for us, and delight to see the proof it

affords of the high value which the public, in
spite of Tory jeremiades, still, anti we hope for
ever will, affix on trade. At the same time it is
good, even in the midst of success, to remember
moderation ; and we have rather leaned to
an untitvourable view to guard the public against
unfounded hopes and rash speculations.

The Bullock supplies fresh up to our market, this
morning, were somewhat on the increase ; yet there
were very fine, really prime beasts offering. From
our northern grazing districts, we received 2,420
short-horns, runts, and Irish beasts ; from Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 90 horned and
polled Scots, but chiefly the latter ; from our west-
ern and midland districts, 380 Devons, runts,
Herefords, &c., and 230 of various kinds from other
parts of England. Our market is now attracting the
attention of the Irish shippers ; we having on sale
to-day 110 beasts from Dublin, which were of fair
average quality, and realised steady currencies. These
beasts were imported at Liverpool, and brought thence
per railway ; 100 more are expected for Monday next.
The number of beasts, as will be seen by the above
returns, being good, we have to report a very-sluggish
beef trade, with all except the primest descriptions.
The best Scotch sold at last Monday's figures, or at
from 4s 2d to 4s 4d per stone of 81bs ; but the other
kinds were a dull sale, at barely stationary
prices. As to sheep, these were plentiful,
and fully adequate to meet the wants of the dealers.
The Mutton trade, as a whole, was dull, at unaltered
currencies, while a good clearance was effected. In
Calves, a limited amount of business was doing. Prime
small porkers were more inquired for; but other
kinds of pigs were a mere drug.

with confidence for the ultimate destruction of those
laws. Under this conviction, the meeting rejoices in
the determination of the Council of the League to
adopt a more general and perfect system of agitation,
and pledges itself to co-operate heartily in the en-
deavour to raise the 50,000/. proposed to be ex-
pended by the League in the prosecution of its
laudable designs.". He (Mr. Clay) appeared there
as the representative of his uncle, a veteran in the
cause, though now unable to take a part in their
exertions.—(Hear, hear.) His uncle, he had told
them, was incapable of exerting himself as he had
done, but had still the power to render them the
necessary assistance. On his behalf, therefore, he
begged to present them with a check for 3001. to-
wards the fund.—(Tremendous cheering.)
F. SCHWANN, Esq., seconded the resoloution, and
humorously alluded to the title of " Corn-law Pope
of Huddersfield," bestowed upon him by Mr. Cobden.
Before the separation of the meeting a further sum
of 3801. was collected. _

Thanks were then carried by acclamation to the
Chairman, and to the gentlemen who had attended
the meeting as a deputation from the Council of the
League ; and the meeting, which continued to be
crowded to the very last, broke up about eleven o'clock.

We have again to report the arrival of large quan-

and several other quarters, but they having come to
hand in very middling condition, leaving out of the
question quality, the demand has ruled ex-
cessively heavy at miserably low figures. The
supplies of London••killed meat have been heavy,
yet the primest descriptions have commanded a
fair inquiry at full rates of currency—all other kinds
being much neglected; indeed, they have been hardly
saleable at any price, and clearances have not been
effected in any instance. In the following statement,
will be found the number of carcasses of meat which
has reached us, since this day se'nnight.

PRISON DISCIPLINE.—The Commissioners. fia inp-

Gloucestershire have concluded their labours at
Northleach and Gloucester, and proceeded to
Littledean. The examination is strictly private, and
no particulars will transpire until the publication of
the official report.
We perceive that a new article of commerce has
been introduced by the tariff. Nitron from Egypt,
the duty on which amounted to a prohibition, is now
advertised for sale by auction. it will most probably
interfere with the manufacture of soda.—Liverpool

London, England, 1842-11-29

A letter from New York, in the Presse, says

The following fact will show the enormity of the
charges which the new tariff imposes on French pro-
ducts. A quantity of French brandy, the invoice of
which, every expense, included, amounted, on its
arrival at New York, to 3,805 dollars, had to pay
before landing, and in cash, according to the new
tariff, the sum of 9,525 dollars, making something
less than 300 per cent. duty. The produce of the
United States pays in France, on an average, only
10 per cent.
The Rhine Gazette states that the new Ame-
rican tariff has caused serious injury to the per-
sons engaged in the linen and glass trades, on
the right bank of the Weser. Until the new im-
port duties were laid on by the American Go-
vernment, these branches of trade were very pro-
fitable to the parties alluded to ; they are now in
a state of ruin.

PRIVY COUNCIL.--No summonses have_ yet, been
issued for a Privy Council to- be held to-day as
reported.
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat
yesterday at the Council-office to hear an appeal
from the Ecclesiastical Courts in which the Rev. Mr.
Head was the appellant, and a gentleman of the
name of Saunders, the respondent. Sir John Dodson
and other Counsel were heard on the appeal. The
Lord Bishop of London sat as one of the Members of
the Committee.
