This is a work of very uncommon merit indeed. In-
stead of a mere compilation, as such publications generally
are, we have here a production of original, and often very
masterly talent, combining with the value and convenience
of a book of reference in regard to facts, much of the more
intense interest and attraction which belong to a vehicle of
discussion and speculation, by minds with whom no one,
cultivated, need be ashamed to hold corn-
however' highly

and good sense, exactly such as we like to see sustaining
the equanimity of historic narrative. We do not know
any 'work intitled to compete with that before us, as a use-

How TO TREAT' AN 'AEIDIENCE.—A9
Actor, in a German Theatre, a short time ago, having been
much hissed by the audience, and supposing it to arise from
unjust prejudice on their parts, suddenly came forward, and
addressed them as follows:—" Gentlemen, it is evident
that ymi have come here with a determination of hissing,
abusing, and •ridienili_tig tne ; this is your ouJtiall'oolo
this is your sole desire ; mine is, that you may alareak
your necks in going out of the theatre. .1 have not another
word to say to ynu." He then with the utmost coolness,
continued his part.--J-Furet dc Londres.
HORRIBLE OCC RRENCE.—A most til
U agical
event has disturbed the monotony of the town of Brunt,
island within these few days. An old lady, who lived in a
very recluse state, having only a female domestic to attend
her during the day, met her death in 'a most appalling
manner. In the course of the 'night the neighbours were
alarmed by the smell of fire ; but being unable to discover
whence it proceeded, retired to rest without being much
disturbed on the subject. In the morning, however,
it was ascertained that a fire had occurred in the
house of this old lady, and several of the inhabitants pro-
ceeded to break open the door, when the most revolting
sight presented itself. The table and chair on which the
poor unfortunate had been sitting were consumed to ashes,
and her skull, and one Or two members of her body, were dis-
covered, through an aperture which had been burned in
the floor, in the coal-cellar below, reduced to anatomy ;
and so completely had the devouring element performed
its work, that her remains were gathered in a handker-
chief. How the fire originated, must for ever 'be buried
in oblivion",-,Glasgow Herald.

INGENIOUS FRAUD.—A retired warrior of
Newark, who, beheld the French on the plains cf Vittoria
fly before the conquering arms of the British, and who has
often astonished his hearers with the prodigies of valour
performed by him on that memorable occasion, about three
months since communicated to his most intimate friends
the following important secret :—During the hurried re-
treat -of the enemy, who were reduced to such an ex-
tremity as to be obliged to abandon armsi aroinunition,
and baggage, to save the poor boon of existence ; as some
of his comrades were intent on safety, others on plunder,
and the rest on glory ; he, among the last, resting for a
moment on his arms, east his eyes towards a baggage
waggon in full retreat, on the top of which was an enormous
' bag containing doubloons and other Spanish coin equally
valuable. A sudden attack was made, and the enemy for-
sook it and fled ; in the confusion, unseen to all but him,
this precious bag dropped off! and our men, being hot in
the pursuit, hastened on and left him sole possessor of the
treasure ! With his bayonet he dug a hole, concealed the
bag, and, after carefully noting the place, to prevent sus-
picion speedily rejoined his regiment. The pursuit being
continued the following day he was unable to return, and
being among the foremost who followed the immortal Wel-
lington through most of his brilliant achievements, was pre-
vented from ever again visiting the spot. Peace came, and '
with it discharges, pensions, &c. The hero was welcomed
to his native town with kindly greetings, which were r i-.- ,I
turonly
ned with the dignity befitting one who had to ob- '
tain the'means of returning to the plains of Vittoria, :Intl an
ascent above his old friends would .be at once atchieved.
These means, from various untoward. circumstances, never
were in his rawer : and, `as a last resource, he resolved
to let his bosom friends share his secret and his Wealth.
The plan was this ; if one would lend him 51., he should
on his return receive 500/. ;. another 1/., 100/. ; and so on
till about 501. or 6Ol. was raised. No doubt could be
entertained of success—the road was well known, and the
spot marked by three trees ! Accordingly every. thing as
i
ingeniousand was f.urnished with
of his friends) that
would just admit the doubloons, and fit his person so nicely
settled,
m ilb alive i(-enejelidvee db
y theth e
as effectually to conceal them 'from depredators. Full of
money,
small'
hope and fear, the friends witnessed his departure.. The
.
latter feeling was much increased on reeeivanga few days
afterwards a letter, dated London, requesting further
supplies, or the journey must •be postponed. These
were refused, and the dear friends remained in the greatest
possible excitement until three or four days ago, when their
doubts were eased and their worst fears realized by the
re-appearance of our hero, with torn shoes, empty pockets,
and empty stomach, which. bespoke a long day's travel,
and no doubloons. Numerous and Warm were the greet-
ings be received; one friend was so much rejoiced as to be
iuduced to take him in his arms and give him sound and
striking
.proofs of his happiness; this example would have
been followed by presentation of the honours of ducking,
tarring; feathering,' &c. &e.,
had not the luckless warrior
taken shelter in the inmost dresses of his castle; from
iwhence he has not since dared to thrust his head, the dear
friends awaking to a sense of their loss; and a just punish-
ment of credulity and avarice..—Boston Gazette,

him lecture in public once; that was in lain n, at

the Latin language. In that lecture he stated in
how short a time he could make a profoend :,,re"'sle

Mr.C.l3lPßELL.—Perhaps, yen found that it took
the old period of seven years, and plenty of whipping
besides ?—(A laugh.)

to put that point out of all question,
Mr. Vansatidate the defendants' attorney, was
called, and proved that the shop in Paternoster.row,
described by the first witness, was the shop of the
defendants.
On his cross-examination, he stated that he had
known Dr. Jones. Before the Analogize Latinze was
published, lie had published a Latin vocanulary. Dr.
Jones died on the 10th of January, 1827. An oiler

ant said he ' had taken, the plaintiff to see a house,
.which was the Queen's' Head, in Fashion-street,
Spitalfields, but said when they were married they
should want another; he added, that she said she
liked Whitechapel best. The plaintiff was present
at this time. I have heard the subject of marriage
mentioned between them several times. The de-
fendant asked my husband to give them the wed-
ding-dinner. - He said she' was a clever young
woman in business, and he would rather marry i-.ar
Own, person with a thousand pounds, which he
said he could have with the. person he has NOW mar-
ried. This conduct continued from the 7th of June
to the 17th July, • when his visits ceased. Up to
the time of the cessation of his -visits, no dispute or
disagreement • had arisen between them. I never
heard from him •-any reason for his deserting her,
'but.have heard him say that , his -business cleared

he had plenty of money. After the marriage was
broken off, she appeared very much affected in het
mind.
• Cross-examined—The plaintiff's mother is,a first
cousin of mine. When the plaintiff came to me, she
was out of employment ; she had been a lady's-maid
in the family of a Mr. Knight, at -Clayton. The de-
fendant frequently spoke of marrying her. She has
been since living with her friends; but as to where
they live I cannot conceive to be a material question
in this cause.—(A laugh.). On the qUestion being
repeated, the witness said they lived at Yarmouth;
when the marriage was broken off, she was oppress-

mind. I will swear that she has never since been

whom the defendant has since married is Cope, and
it•was her that he mentioned as having a thousand
pounds, when he said he would rather marry the
plaintiff. He was married to her some time in
•
August last. . • -
Mr. WilliaM Nutt, the husband of the preceding
.vitness confirmed her testimony.

Mr. David Nutt, the son of the former witnesses,
heard the defendant say he was worth 5,0001., and
that he was realizing 8001. a-year from his business.
In cross-examination, he said he should consider
the defendant to be generally a sober man.
This was the Oaintiff's case.

Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS for the defendant, thought
that when the Jury had returned,to their homes, and
began to think over the Occurrences of the day,
they would very probably remember how many times
in .the course of this cause they had heard of 5,000/.
and 8001.; and he would venture to say, that this
was the 'very thing which his Learned Friend had
most studied to introduce, in order to furnish them
with an idea of the vast wealth of the defendant ;
and he did not doubt, if they could have got into the
consultation room last night, they would have found
that the most material point in consideration was the
depth of the pocket, into which they wished the jury
to put their hands, that they might get from the de-
fendant some of that wealth which they intended to
prove he possegsed. Did.the jury doubt, from what
they had heard from Mrs. Nutt, that she was a very
ready advocate for the girl, and that she had not
failed to set her forth to the observation of the de-
fendant ? It had been asked on what ground the
defendant had withdrawn his affections, and it had
been complained that he had given no reason. But
what could be more proper than his conduct on this
occasion ? He had a reason for discontinuing his
addresses, and he 'retired in silence, without attri-
buting any misconduct to the plaintiff, or declaring
her to be a worthless. character. His Learned
Frind, in presenting this case to the Court, appeared
to him to have attempted to give it a false colour
from beginning to end. He had also said that her
future character ‘Vould depend on their verdict had
this affair, then, made her less virtuous than she was
before ? If so, • Mrs. Nutt must be to blame ; but
there was no giound for the supposition. The
Learned Sergeant having commented generally o,i
the evidence, asked the jury if they thought that this
%vas one of those cases in which a sober and dis-
tinct promise had been made, and which would cer-
tainly call for damages : for his own part, he cer-
tainly did not.
The Jury remained in deliberation for a short
time, and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Datnages 5001.
