TOWN-HALL-BRIGHTON.

On Friday morning Capt. M'Leod of the 2d Scots Greys.
appeared before Mr. Basevi, Major Allen, Capt. Heaviside, and
Major Willard, the sitting Magistrates, charged with commit-
ting a violent assault on Mr. J. S. Mills, one of the bailiffs of
the Brighton Court of Requests. The case excited consider-
able interest, from its having arisen from the circumstances of
the officers sending their men to exchange Wigney's notes,
they having received an intimation of the failure. A decision
in the Court of Requests given in favour of a plaintiff who ex-
changed a 101. note, has induced a number of tradesmen to
commence proceedings against the officers.
Mr. Dempster, on behalf of Capt. M‘Leod, deeply regretted
that he had committed the assault. It was done in a moment
of irritation, caused by the complainant entering his bedroom,
and he was willing to pay any penalty, but trusted the Magis-
trate would not send the case to the Sessions.

Mr. Bennett for the defendant, laid he was quite satisfied
with the apoligy that had been made, and would consent to
withdraw the summons on papnent of the 'costs, and 5/. to the
SuGsex County Hospital.
Capt. M'Leod immediately assented, and the summons was
discharged.

NORTH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

• In this Number there is an intelligent essay on the
" Origin and Progress of Aristocratic • Taxation,"
which—observes the writer—" is to be traced to the
feudal system, a System commonly supposed extinct,
but really living and active in every, part of English
polity—in a landed legislature, in laws of primogeni-
ture and practical entail, and in all the
.aristocratic
habits, forms, thoughts, and feelings of public and
private life." In the article headed " Characteristics
of Manchester". occur some spirited descriptions of the
scenery in- the immediate neighbourhood of this
wealthy metropolis of the cotton trade.

T i E FARMER'S FRIEND.
TO THE EDITOR OF 171 E SUN.
Sir,--t have attended the fairs held in this county
during, the • last twenty years, but never have I expe-
rienced such a sudden and totally unexpected deprecia-
:tion in the value of stoc!.:. as at this fair to-day. The gene-
ral observation. among the farmers was, " This is Mr.
Peel's promised benefits to the farming interest : will
our landlords again compel us to vote for the Tories ?"
If I had not seen several lots of cattle sold at prices so
rairous, I could not have. credited it. A dealer was
marking a lot of good steers he had bought at 15/. each;
a friend of mine, who stood by at the tune, • and who is
known to be a judge of stock, assured me the price was
wider 4d. per lb.—the greatest part of them now good
Meat, fit for the hint:iv:l., and, three months since, would
have sold .at 22/. each !! ! The prices ofrered being
generally so low, caused large droves to be driven home
unsold ; fat sheep also were unsaleable even at consider-
ably reduced prices. I rent. a large farm, which has
been.in my family many years.; under.pre,;ent prospects
my only course will be to give notice to leave, and take
my. family to scone whey country (probably the United
States), where I shall not be compelled by toy landlord
to vote for Tories, nor to pay a tax upon may income,
which is every day decreasing under a real "sliding;-
scale." . AN OLD FARMER.

STANLEY V. HOLE.

This was an action of similar character, against the
same defendant, and upon the application of Mr. Cham-
bers another Jury was empanelled to try- the cause. The
sum sought to be recovered was 160/.
Mr. PLATT addressed the Jury, and, said that the
charge against the defendant was that he had got up a
sham insurance society, offering great advantages to the
public, and by this means he had induced the plaintiff to
invest the sum in question in the concern, and the whole
of it had been lo: t.

The books were then produced, and it appeared that
the plaintiff had paid 160 L to the West Middlesex Assu-
rance Company, and that she had been guaranteed an
annuity of 25/. per annum for that sum.
Mr. G. E. Williams was then called. He deposed that
he signed the deed of settlement of the Company, but
he never paid any thing upon the shares. He and his
father acted as solicitors to the Company. Hole, the
defendant, first prepared the draft of the deed creating
the Association. He came to the office of witness's father,
in Hart street, Bloomsbury, in 1836, and he said that
several gentlemen intended to form a new Insurance
Company, and he wished to know if his father would
have any objection to act as solicitor to the concern,
and he replied that he had not ; and soon afterwards,
he told him that the gentleman had " agreed to ap-
point him as solicitor, and witness's Lame was
joined with. his father's. In 1839 the defendant
Holes asked him if lie would like to be secretary, and
he then enquired of him whether all the names to the
prospectus were bona fide parties, and he said they were.
This took place at Hastings, and Hole pointed out a
large mansion, near that town, as the residence of Mr.
Alexander, one of the names mentioned in the prospec-
tus ; and witness reluctantly accepted the situation, and
acte as secretary. After this witness told Hole that
Mr. Hunter u ished to know the addresses of the par-
ties mentioned in the prospectus, and he burst into a
laugh, and said that it was all concocted by
him and Knowles ; and, upon this, witness
resigned his situation. He remembered a quarrel taking
place between Hall and Knowles, and the latter accused
Hall of placing the greater part of the money that was
received in the affair to his own private account, instead
of placing it to the credit of the Company.
Cross-examined—His father signed the deed forming
the Company, and • actions had been brought against
him. His father had purchased property since his con-
nexion with the defendant, and this had been sold and
given up, when lie found it was such a rascally business.
His father had now been abroad fornine months.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 160/.,
deducting the amount paid for the annuity before the
closing of the establishment, but adding thereto the in-
terest from the period when the money was first placed
in the defendant's hands, which reduced the amount to
143/.

MAGAZINES • (CONCLUDED).
cuußcii- OE ENGLAND QUARTERLY
EV IEII%

There is here an essay on the almost forgotten
question of Puseyism, in which its advocates are
treated without much cercmcaly. " Uhe very
basis of the Papal system," observes. the writer,
"is the suppression of private judgment ; and it is
idle in any one to appeal to the judgment of a man
who is in the trammels of the Papacy. On this very
point the Oxford party are grossly inconsistent ; they
oedlaim against the Reformation for having given
license to private judgment. which license alone

enabled them so to declainC There is soni. -Loth
in this observation, though it \'us hardly worth while
to-revive the question of Phseyism. It is 'a fire that
has nearly burned itself out. • " Moral and Political
Tendency of :Modern Novels," is somewhat too strait-
laced in its notions, though we cordially agree with
the writer in his strictures on the vulgar flash
school of fiction. "Fine Arts in England," is an
animated and judicious essay, with this exception,
that it greatly overrates the paintings of Martin and
Danby, which are far indeed from being " the
grandest works of art which areat Britain has ever
produced." As for Danby, he is little better than a
copyist of -Martin ; and Martin himself, though occa-
sionally sublime, is too often utterly deficient in
nature, earnestness, and simplicity.

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

There are several entertaining articles, in verse as
well as prose, in the present number of this veteran
periodical—now, we believe, an octogenarian in years ;
and among them, we may mention, Miss Emily
Spicer's poem entitled " The Old Nurse's .Tale," and
a sensible prose essay on the subject of Lord Francis
Egerton's late speech in the House of Commons on
the Law of Marriage.

THE METROPOLITAN.

The "Irish Barrister" resumes his legal sketches
this month, with a memoir and character of Judge
Foster, so well known in the House of Commons,
some fourteen or fifteen years since, for his dull, pro-
lix .speeches against Catholic Emancipation—a mea-
sure which he ultimately saw cause to concede. The
writer describes him as being a passable Judge, " but
without exception one of the kindest and most consi-
derate landlords in Ireland. His property is compa-
ratively small, and though lie might render his
rent-roll more productive by at least one-third,
as we heard from a competent authority, yet he hesi-
tates not to stcrafico so much to make his tenantry
respectable and happy. He is one of those humane
men who forego an advantage to themselves to in-
crease the comforts of others." This is high praise,
and we wish it could be oftener applied with sincerity
to Irish landlords. The "Equivocation" is a pleasing
tale, which has the additional recommendation of
pointing a useful moral. The remaining articles, in
prose and verse, are of the usual calibre.

BRITISH MAGAZINE.

The dietaries and fastings of ancient Lent-times, as
noticed in the charges and sermons of preachers co-
temporary with the Reformation, furnish some pas-
sages of quaint eloquence in a first article. " Catholic
Architecture, and its Sepulchral Memorials," shows
tl a excellent tendency exhibited by that school in the
adaptation of its forms and sculptures to the sympathies
and senses of men. The paper on the " Adamic image"
is the work of a scholar, and Behmen's hypothesis,
therein treated of, finds an apt annotator : the same
hand would handle well the theory of the luminous
body which Madame Bourignon, in common with
Behmen and the Caballists, ascribes to the prototypal
man. A body of correspondence upon church matters
and discussional points, de rebus knells, fills up the
number.

MONTHLY BELLE ASSEMBLEE.

The usual variety of romantic tales and poetical
effusions contributes to make the fourth number of
this Magazine as entertaining as its predecessors. It
contains a very passable engraving of a young female,
representative of " Adoration."

THE SPANISH GENERAL MAROT(L—The famous
General .Maretu has got into a little war," from which
he is not likely to escape with credit. He and three
friends were shooting some leagues from Madrid, a few
days since upon a couple of estates, without leave of the
proprietors. A young gamekeeper warned them off, and
was commanded by the General to hold his tongue. The
young fellow was as proud and independent as the Gene-
ral, and would not succumb in the fulfilment of his duty.
Maroto then abused him as a Carlist, and declared that
the country around was Carlist, and that that was the
reason he was annoyed in shooting over it. Words be-
came high and warm ; the gamekeeper stood upon his
right. The stronger party threatened to shoot him, end
Maroto drew a pistol. The lad seized his own gun, and
prepared to defend himself. Maroto's friends seized and
held it, aril discharged it in the struggle. One of them
made a desperate stab at him with a knife, which cut
open his thigh from hip to knee. The wounded man
fled as well as he was able to his house, and Maroto pur-
sued him with the pistol to the door. The alcalde of the
district has instituted a cause against the General, who
(having a strong faith in the influence of money) sent to
the wounded lad's father to offer him 100 dollars to let
the matter rest. The father and son alike refused the
money, and preferred to " let the law take its course."
Spanish law is prover:Army slow, and clients to hast2n it
often take cases like this into their own hands.

On Monday a woman, 71 years of age, residing in
the Rue St. Jacques, set fire to her clothes in using a
small brazier to warm her feet. Before her cries brought
assistance, her person was so mueb burnt that she was
carried to a hospital with little hope of recovery.

11. rer Share.
While this great Metropolis of the world possesses establish-
ments for the formation of various arts and sciences, it is un-
adorned and destitute of a sufficiently spacious and convenient
structure for the CULTIVATION of NATIVE MUSICAL
TALENT, which has in a great measure retarded the promo-
tion of that enchanting science in this country. The increas-
ing public and private taste for the acquirement of music—the
strong recommendations issued from the press—the establish-
ment of Singing Schools for all classes—and the great anxiety
displayed by Professors and Amateurs of Music to remedy this
national inconvenience—has led to the formation of a plan f..r
establishing a Company for the erection of a splendid Edifice,
to consist of a spacious Music-hall, a minor hall, Singing
School, Library, and other necessary offices; and in order
that the building may be erected on the most scientific archi-
tectural plan, the designs will be open to public competition.

' chants, Tradespeople, and other Inhabitants of ; he
borough of Sheffield :
.Sheweth,--That the merchants, manufacturers, and
tradespeople generally of,
.Sheffield are suffering under
extreme commercial depressiOn, their concerns being
almost unprofitable ; and it being a question with many,
whether they should continue, in the hope of an improve-
ment in trade, or put up wit h the first loss by wholly
closing their undertakings ; and that this distress is
rapidly increasing.
That your memorialists have heard with extreme con-
cern, that it is in contemplation to impose an income tax
on the people of this country, as a means of raising a
revenue,

That such a tax is sufficiently burdensome in prospe-
rous times ; but, under our present circumstances, will
be felt with peculiar hardship by those who are strug-
gling for a subsistence.

That many whose families are large, and whose expen-
diture is necessarily heavy, must abridge themselves of
the ordinary comforts of life to pay this tax.
That we believe it will induce not a few to withdraw
from business, entirely to avoid the vexatious and un-
constitutional exhibition of their commercial affairs,
which must of necessity exist under such an impost.
That in the manufacturing districts, where much pres-
sure now exists, the tax will 'IIC numerous instances be
paid, not by sparing the superfluities of life, but by
ceaiing to consume manufactured articles, and by the
dismissal of servants and labourers, thus causing the tax
to press heavily on the working classes.
That such a tax is a direct premium on fraud and
perj.l.l ry.

Thal very many are now carrying on trade without
profit, whose success will depend on their credit ;
and that such dare not risk the exposure of their aetual
condition, but, to keep up appearances, must pay mueh
beyond what justice requires ; and that such payments
will, in many cases (if the Bill Come into operation) be
made out of the property of their creditors.
That whilst we admit the necessity of providing for
the public wants of the country, and whilst we deprecate
all taxes which fall peculiarly on the industry of the
community, we regard the present vexatious and unequal
berden as utterly uncalled for, and as the price paid for
the maintenance of the bread and sugar monopolies.
Your memorialists therefore respectfully, but urgently
request that you will omit no opportunity of resisting
the imposition of this unjustifiable tax.

LOiVDON UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

The chief article in this number is a criticism on
"Childe Harold and the Excursion," wherein we are
assured that " Childe Harold labours to exalt nature
above man, by a series of contrasts, as false as they
are degrading. The Excursion exalts both, but nature
in due subserviency to man, whom it recognizes as
lord of the creation, not less by superiority of endow-
ment than by divine appointment:' While we sub-
scribe in part to this opinion, we must protest against
the undue severity of the strictures on Childe Harold.
which haS already taken its place amongst the finest
poems that modern times have produced. Let Words-
worth have all the praise, that is his due—and no man
deserves higher praise—but let him not be exalted at
the expense of Byron. There is abundant room for
both in the temple of Fame, and one need not jostle
the other The remarks on " Sir Philip Sidney" are
in good taste. He was indeed one of those rare indi-
viduals who, to quote the critic's words, " scaled the
difficult heights of excellence, and came near to their
unattainable summit."

BRITISH MAGAZINE.

The dietaries and fastings of ancient Lent-times, as
noticed in the charges and sarmons of preachers co-
temporary with the Reformation, furnish some pas-
sages of quaint eloquence in a first article. " Catholic
Architecture, and its Sepulchral Memorials," shows
the excellent tendency, 'exhibited by that school in
peculiarity of its forms arid sculptures, the sympathies
and senses of men. The paper on the "Adamic image
is the work of a scholar, and:Behmen's hypothesis,
therein treated of, finds an apt .annotator : the same
hand would handle well. the theory of the luminous
body which Madame Bourignon, in common wit!.
Behmen and the Caballists, ascribes to the prototypa7
man. A body of correspondence upon church matters
and discussional points, de rebith swietig, fills up' the
number. •

most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
Chem cal process, by which all that is:naseous in inixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resist ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-

TOWN-HALL-BRIGHTON.

- - - • - -
On Friday morning Capt. APLeod of the 2d. Scots Greys,
appeared before Mr. Basevi, Major Allen, Capt. Heaviside, and
Major Willard, the sitting Magistrates, charged with commit-
ting a violent assault on Mr. J. S. Mills, one of the bailiffs of
the Brighton Court of Requests. The case excited consider-
able interest, from its having arisen from the circumstances of
the officers sending their men to exchange Wigney's notes,
they having received an intimation of the failure. A decision
in the Court of Requests given in favour of a plaintiff who ex-
changed a 101. note, has induced a number of tradesmen to
commence proceedings against the officers.
Mr. Dempster, on behalf of Capt. M'Lcod, deeply regretted
that he had committed the assault. It was dune in a moment
of irritation, caused by the complainant entering his bedroom,
and he was willing to pay any penalty, but trusted the Magis-
trate would not send the case to the Sessions.
Mr. Bennett for the defendant, said he was quite satisfied
with the apoligy that had been made, and would consent to
withdraw the summons on payment of the costs, and 51. to the
Sussex County Hospital.
Capt. M‘Leod immediately assented, and the summons was
discharged,
