COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

-
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE beit g still absent, their Lord-
ships disposed of several special pleas of no general interest,
and then adjourned to join the Barons of the Exchequer in
the Exchequer Chamber, where their Lordships were en-
gaged in deciding a writ of error in the case of
MACDOUGAL V. itomissoN.
This case was not of general interest, nor decided before
we went to press.

NEW WAY OF OBTAINING REFRESHMENT.
—A stout young man called lately at the Four Ashes, near
&mood, and ordered six rolls, one pound of cheese, and a
quart of ale. Of the two former lie eat one half, and of
the latter drank the whole. On being remonstrated with
for attempting to go away without paying, he coolly replied
that he had no Money, and as he %vas net likely to get such
good entertainment by begging, he resorted to the impu-
dent method here related of procuring it.—Litekfield
Mercury.
DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE ON
WATERT.OO BRIDGE.—We regret to state that this morn-
ing, about half-past nine o'clock, another unfortunate
woman, whose name and residence are at present unknown,
made a most determined attempt upon her own life by cut-
ting her throat, and afterwards precipitating herself from
the balustrades of the bridge into the water. About the
time above stated two boys, named JOSEPH CRIBB and
JA3IES BEADLE, apprentices to a fisherman, residing at
Lambeth, passed under the first arch on the Surrey side of
the bridge, up the river, in their fishing-boat, when some-
thing fell by the side of the skiff into the water, which
caused them to look up to the bridge, when they saw a
very respectably dressed female standing on the coping-
stone, in apparent great dejection. The boys hallooed to
her to get back again, but the next moment she went on
her knees, and placed her hands together as if in prayer,
and then caught hold of the edge of the stone, and imme-
diately dropped into the water, very near to the skiff. The
boys instantly pulled towards her, and by great exertion pulled
her into the boat alive; but the blood was flowing in tor-
rents from a desperate wound in her neck. They carried
her ashore to the house of Mr. HANDEY, the surgeon, at the
corner of Stamford-street, Waterloo-road—where the
wounds in her throat were sewed up—there were two, one
immediately close to the carotid artery, and the other across
the windpipe, but neither were considered fatal, as only
the integuments were severed. Several questions were put
to the unhappy woman who appeared to he about 35 years
of age ; as to her name and midence, and the cause of her
making such a rash attempt, but she could not answer them,
owing, it is thought, to the water having escaped into the
plurea. Every thing possible was done for her by Mr.
Harmer, and she was subsequently carried in a coach to
Lambeth Workhouse. The first thing that fell into the
water, is believed to be the instrument with which she in-
flicted the wounds on her throat.

BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY,

'l'o THE EDITOR OF THE .SUN.
Sir,—l am a considerable holder of shares in the
Brazilian Mining Company; and from seeing them
gradually advance, according to the quotations in the
daily prints, I have searched every newspaper to
endeavour and discover the cause of such advance.
To-day . I went to the Brazilian Office, and after
having perused the last dispatches, I enquired the
reason why none of the daily papers alluded to
the enormous prcduce. I received for answer,
" That the person who composes the or
Money Market' article of each paper, was aware of
the produce, but that they were determined to ,
insert nothing of a favourable nature with respect
to shares ; and that the reason the Morning ----
has occasionally spoken favourably of this specula-
tion (and of this one only) is, that Mr. 15
brother-in-law to one of the Directors."
I should hope, Mr. Editor, for the honour of the
Press, that these allegations are not true, and .I
trust there is more liberality in the spirit of the times,
than to allow an enterprise in bona fide prosperity,
to be sullied because s'--Filar undertakings have failed
through the mismanagement of their Directors.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
A CONSTANT READER.

Union Club, Thursday Evening, Nov. 15, 1827,

ALL HALLOW; FAIR.—The supply of cattle
ran from 14,000 to 16,000. Business began with the
fat cattle, and a number of lots were sold at prices about
the same as are obtained in the Grassmarket. There was
a very large supply of lean stock. The six quarter and two
yearlings which remained over from Doune, crowded the
market, and lean nearly unsaleable. Their prices ran ac••
cording to quality from 1/. 15s, to 4/. Three yearling
stots sold from 31. Ss. to 11. 10s. Heifers were in parti-
cular request, but there was only one good lot on the
ground. There were the best supply of milk cows
which has been seen for a number of years. The holders
stood out for high prices, and on the whole but little busi-
ness was done in them. A town's dairyman hought the
best couple that appeared for 36/. • They were in excellent
order, and will calve in about eight or ten days. In the
evening, there was a numerous muster of horses in the
Grassmarket. As nearly as could be ascertained, there
was about 700 shown for sale. Good horses were iu de-
mand, but those of an inferior sort were little minded. On
the whole, so far as business has yet gone, it has been rather
a dull market.-- Glasgow Chronicle.

Captains of ships, the Allied Fleet, consisting of 23 ships
of war, large and small, penetrated into the harbour of
Navarin at two o'clock in the afternoon of the 20th Oct.,
and there destroyed the greater part of the Turkish and
Egyptian fleet of 120 sail. It consisted of 2 ships of the
►ine, 4 frigates of the largest size, 12 smaller frigates, and
20 corvettes. The remainder were transports. Several
ships of the line of the Allied Squadrons, especially those
on board which the Admirals were, are stated to have also
sustained some damage in the action.

In the evening

An express from Paris to the great City capi-
talist has reached town, but in consequence of
the absence of that personage, its contents have
not transpired. It is rumoured that the French
Rentes are lower.

The Berkshire Chronicle, in noticing our ex-
ertions on a late occasion, takes care to neutra-
lise the value of its remarks by a singular charge
with which the present conductors of THE SUN
have nothing whatever to do. Other Papers
may have ratted, but we have not,—nor have

the present conductors of THE SUN anything
to do with the political bias of people who ex-
isted some forty years ago. It may be very
proper in the Berkshire Chronicle, acting from
conscientious scruples, no doubt, to impute a
change of principle to other Journals, but it
should at least have previously enquired whether

its assertions were correct. We have no am•
bition, like our cotemporary, to make a constan
declaration of our exclusive loyalty, less

people begin to doubt its reality from an over-
anxiety to publish it to the world. It is a bad
sign when people make too great a profession of
their virtue, and tell you not to be alarmed,
for they are very honest—and so were their
fathers before them.

But we can excuse our cotemporary for his good
opinion, and shall not fail, on another occasion,

to send him a SECOND EDITION, ill hopes it
may lead to his political conversion. We ex-
tract his paragraph in justice to its singular

TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN.

SIR,---The French Language being usually lean,
with a view to conversation, a Grammar which
would afford the Student an opportunity of acquir-
ing a collection of phrases necessary for conversa-
tion, while he gradually attains a thorough know-
ledge of the elementary principles of the language,
could not fail to prove eminently serviceable. Such
is the consideration by which I have been influenced
in presenting the public with this new production.
My grand object has been to render the speaking of
French as easy and familiar to English persons, as if
they studied in Paris. To accomplish this great de-
sideratum, I have composed the essays on the rules
of passages and sentences used in ordinary discourse.
By construing them into French, the pupil will not
only store his mind ,with useful expressions, but he
will likewise insensibly imbibe just notions of the
Grammatical technicalities 'of the language. This is
of the utmost importance for speaking French ; for,
unless the learner is properly trained up in the prac-
tical part, he will :never be able to hold the least
course with a native of France, although he may be
a proficient in the theory of the language. The na-
ture of the French Verbs is, also, exhibited in quite
a new and clear manner, and the remarks on pro-
nunciation are collected from the present practice of
the fashionable circles in Paris. The work is con-
cluded by a Grammatical Analysis, and a Treatise
on French Prosody and Versification; besides a
classified vocabulary, a compendium of familiar
phrases, and numerous models of notes, letters of
compliment and- busine,ss. In the execution of the
whole, in short, the speaking of the language has a
prominent feature; and I flatter myself this Gram-
mar will be found peculiarly adapted to the capacity
of the generality of learners, being divided into sixty
easy lessons and essays, which will prove no less
instructive than agreeable.. .
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
London, Nov. 16, 1527. J. V. DOUVILLE,
P.S. A Key to the Essays is just published.

[We have carefully examined this Key to Mr. Douville's
excellent Grammar, anti can safely affirm that it is exe-
cuted with much fidelity and spirit. It ' forms a very
useful accompaniment to the Grammar, rendering it com-
petent foi those who choose to he self-taught in the French
language, to make themselves masters of it without the
assistance of a teacher. As such, we have no hesitation
in recommending- Douville's Grammar and Key as
:being the hest calcuip.ted for speaking French, which we
have hitherto seen.]-7-Entro R.

COURT OF EXCIIEQUER.

TUE KING V. WM. COBBETT.
The.appeurance of Mr. Cobbett in this Court, at
an early hour this morning, excited no small degree
of curiosity as to the object of his visit. After some
uninteresting business had been disposed of, Mr.
Cobbett, addressing the Barons, said—

My Lords, I appear before you to answer to a
charge made against me by his Majesty's Attorney-
General. I am here by his Majesty's command,
witnessed by his Lordship and the Barons, in order
to avoid the penalty of 2/.
LORD CHIEF BARON.--I apprehend there is a
regular course to be taken upon the answer to such
a writ, which is to enter an appearance.
Mr. Cobbett.—By what means?
LORD CHIEF BARON.-By going to the Office
and entering an appearance, or directing your Attor-
ney to do it.
Mr. Cobbett.—This is a proceeding by the
Stamp Office, and the Stamp Office pay ne costs
and run no risks. This proceeding, as your Lord-
ship will find, if it comes on to trial, is without the
smallest foundation in law.

LORD CHIEF BARON—We cannot enter into thal

Mr. Cobbett---I know you cannot, but I do not
complain of being obliged to obey his Majesty's
command to come here, and with no reluctance do
I come here; I know that these are circumstances
from which we must, none of us, be exempt ; if so,
there could be no administration of justice, but I do
complain that the Stamp Office should be mile
to compel me to lay out my money before I can be
informed what the charges arc.
LORD CHIEF BARON—This is the course that we
cannot depart from—it is the course of the Court.
Mr. Cobbett shortly after retired from the Court.
We understand that the information filed against
him charges him with having published, in unstamp-
ed Numbers of his Pegisto', certain matters coming
within the description of " political news or in-
telligence."

On Sunday, the Hope coach, on its way
from London to Sheffield, met with an accident, at a place
about half-way from Mansfield to Chesterfield, of such a
dreadful nature, that it is almost a miracle it should not
have been attended with fatal consequences to some of the
passengers. On account of its hilliness the road has lately
been lowered considerably in one place, and the materials
applied to elevate another part, which wanted raising Se-
veral yards. As the coach was passing the raised part of the
road, one of the horses fell, and when down, the head and
shoulders overhung the precipice, which was only guarded
by a small rail. The struggling of the horses, and the
evident peril of their situation so alarmed the passengers,
of whom there were seven outside, that they jumped off the
coach and opened the door for the escape of one or two
who were inside. This had no sooner been done, than the
horses and coach, with the driver on the box, were preci-
pitated into the hollow below ! During the descent, the
coach, &c. rolled at least three times over; and we under-
stand two of the horses were killed. The driver N;ras, of
course, thrown off the box,. but in the most providential
v
manner escaped unhurt. The mail, immediately arriving
at the spot, took up the passeL w 5,....

A POLITE QUADRUPED.—Sir EVERARD
Homx, in a communication'read to the Royal Society at
its first meeting on Thursday ee'nnight, stated that the
giraffe at Windsor would lick a lady's hand, but would
not touch that of a man.

IMPUDENT THEFT.—Saturday morning last,
an elderly man, dressed in .black, entered the tap-room of
the Royal Standard public-house, Upper Dorset-street,
Bryanstone-square, and called for half a pint of porter, with
which he was served, and he stood and drank it. The ser-
vant, who was cooking dinner for a party, had very shortly
before put a large piece of beef, weighing 16 pounds, in
the pot.; but during her absence the fellow contrived to
take the meat out of the pot, and, wrapping it up in a
large'towel, walked off with it, unperceived by any one.
The servant almost immediately afterwards proceeded to
the tap-room, and plunging her fork into the pot to ascer-
tain how the " joint was getting on," discovered the theft,
and ran to the bar in a state 'of alarm to inform her master.
A gentleman who at that moment entered the house, said
that be met an old lean, carrying a large bundle under his
arm, not far from the house, and steam was issuing from
it. He was pursued, and was overtaken with the pro-
perty in his possession, " smoking hot !" He was brought
back to the house of Mr. RAMSAT, the Royal Standard,
and.the meat was restored to the pot. The thief begged
for mercy, stating it to be.his first offence—that he resided
win York-street, Marylebone, with a wife and family, who
Were in distress, which bad driven him to the commission
of the offence. His statement, on inquiry, was found to
be true, and after a severe lecOtre he was allowed to depart.

every turbulent passion—to subdue every unholy
feeling—and to recal to the recollection even, of
the most,thOughtless and indifferent "that dim and
distant world," where, after the pageantry of life
has passed, we must be, and be—for ever. The
idea may be mournful, but there is a kind of subli-
mity mingled with its melancholy. Under its im-
pression our hearts involuntarily become better;
and the cares, and jealousies, and anxieties, and ani-
mosities of life, seem to sink unperceived from our
bosoms.

I may not do her justice. Indeed I feel I cannot.
But it was a burst of genuine feeling ; and only
wanted metre to be a passage of the finest poetry.
Nor in recalling the incidents of that memorable
evening must I pass over an anecdote, very spor-
tively told, of the mother of Mrs. Grant, of Laggan.
The old lady—Miss Baillie—described her as on the
verge of eighty, when the novel of Waverley came
out, informed her morning visitors, in the most con-
fidential manner, and as a very great secret, that
"in reality it was written by her daughter." The
truth was, she had over and over again been asked
if such was the fact ; and with the dotage of age
had firmly persuaded herself it was so. The garru-
lity and pertinacity of the old lady ; the wonder
and amazement of her guests, who, hearing the fact
strenuously asserted on one side, and as positively
denied on the other, knew not what conclusion to
arrive at; and the extreme distress and utter con-
fusion of her daughter, were laughably depicted.
But beyond all question, the Freatest treat of the
evening was hearing Joanna Baillie discuss the Wa-
verly novels. To listen to one highly gifted genius,
good-humouredly and yet critically passing an opi-
nion upon the productions of a kindred spirit—and
this in no light and common place manner, but
with a depth of feeling and solidity of remark, which
proved her intimately acquainted with its beauties,
and keenly alive to its defects—was a matter of no
ordinary gratification.
My memory unfortunately will only serve me with
a few particulars. The professor (the host), " felt
confident that the Waverly novels, popular as they
were, would not go down to posterity :" and stated,
at some length,the grounds on which his opinion was
formed. From his premises and conclusion, the dra-
matist differed in toto. She was " satisfied they
would last as long as the English language should
endure." She " felt some degree of difficulty in
persuading herself they were all written by the same
person ; and this as much from their extreme ine-
quality, as from the rapidity with which they suc-
ceeded each other." I laughed in my sleeve at this
last observation, as peculiarly characteristic of the
ivoman ; for Miss Baillie, as the Edinburgh Review
quaintly enough observed, at the beginning of a
most unmerciful review of her Plays on the Passions,
Miss Baillie " writes very slowly." Ivanhoe she
placed first, as the most faultless ; and next, though
at a considerable interval, Guy Mannering.— The
Living and the Dead.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.--(THIS DAY,

GALWAY ELECT/ON.

The Galway Election Committee, adjourned teruesday
next. It has been decided that Mr. Lambert hat the
majority of legal rotes.
The' Marquisees of Clanricarde and Sligo, Lord
Mounteagle, and some other Peers, are to be examined on
behalf of Mr. Martin, with a view to prove gulch uncon-
stitutional conduct on the part of Mr. Lambert, as should
disqualify him for a seat in the House. If he succeeds in
this, there will be a new election, otherwise Mr. Lambert
will be the sitting Member.
THE EAST RETFORD ELECTION.

The petitioner in this case is Sir Henry Wilson, the un-
successful candidate. The grounds of the petition are cor-
ruption and ,mal-practice on behalf of the Sitting Mem-
bers, (Sir Robert Dundee and Mr. Wrightson) ; a singular
circumstance, which excited no inconsiderable share of
laughter, occurred before the Committee. A Banker in
Retford, who paid bills to a considerable amount, for ex-
pence. incurred on behalf of the Sitting Members during
the election, was brought up to prove, that the bills
were not paid, at the instance nor on account of the sitting
Members. On producing his books to show that the bills
were not charged to the Members, the first item that
presented itself was the receipt of 12001. from the vene-
rable Earl Fitswilliam towards the expences of the elec-
tion, thereby establishing the unconstitutional interference
of a Peer of the realm--a fact which should operate more
powerfully to invalidate the election than if even the Mem-
bers themselves bad paid the bills.
