THE MONTHLY IkIAGAZ/NE.

This is by far the best Number we have yet
seen, whether we look to its useful information,
vigorous, without ornament, or its varied and
amusing style of entertainment. Mr. Hazlitt is,
we perceive, among the contributors, and in an
essay, entitled « On Reading New Books," puts
forth many striking paradoxes. He is a spirited
and impressive writer, and could he but divest
himself of a certain slovenly style ; as well as of
a political cast of mind (now thank God out of
date) which has formed itself, and, we fear,
incurably, on the Godwins, Holerofts, Condorcets,
&c., of a revolutionary period, he would be one
of the very first writers of his day. In his pre-
sent essay, he gives a curious anecdote of
an evening spent with the well-known Mr. Taylor,
ihead. He
n
<, the Platonic philosopher," who translated the old
Greek Rhetoricians for the late Duke of Norfolk;
and while so engaged at Arundel: Castle, was
nearly frightened out of his' wits by the ghost of
Queen Maude. This gentleman, we believe, is
the only remaining member of that noble school,
iws 11, ieh
perhaps,ackn otwhlee dfigresdt
Creel:Johis on e
Europe,
can speak and write the language almost with
beat Dr. Parr three

The SPEAKER entered the House this clay a little

ceeded to count the Members, when it appeared that
there were only thirty in attendance ; amongst whom
we distinguished the Right Han, Secretary Sturges

bad a petition in his hand, but the Speaker not
having taken the chair before the entrance of the

A few minutes after two o'clock, the Yeomen of
the Black Rod entered the House, and announced

" This is one of the pleasing and novel selcctione which
cause a reader to express surprise that such a work has not
been previously compiled. The present is the first volume
of an intended series, and if we may judge from this spe-

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Etoile, dated Monday, May 28.)
54 PERNAMBUCO, APRIL 7.—" Rio Grande do Sul
is in the hands of the Spanish Independents, evhcl
have gained a victory which is said to be complete.
The loss of the Brazilians is 1,200 killed, and 2,500
taken prisoners.
" PARIS, MAY 27.—" Since the report of a speedy
and powerful intervention in favour of the Greeks
has been generally spread, the interest which is felt
for that unfortunate nation manifests itself with fresh
ardour. It is, therefore, the more astonishing, we
may say the more afflicting, to see a Journal (the
Quotidienne), which affects great zeal for the triumph
of religious doctrines, continue to chew itself the
friend and champion of the barbarous enemies of
Christianity.
ODEssa, MAY S.—Letters from Constantinople,
of the 2d May, announce, that the Sultan has dis-
missed from his office the Seraskier Redschid Pacha,
and appointed for his successor, Aga Pacha, who
commanded the troops in the Bosphorus. The latter
has been succeeded 'a his command by Chosrew
Pacha, whom the Greeks called Topal Pacha. It is
inferred from the disgrace of the Seraskier, either
that the Acropolis of Athens has been delivered, or
that the siege was going on very badly. A report
is current, that the Sultan has commanded the Reis
Effendi not to receive any note from a European
Minister, relative to the Greeks. This report is also
mentioned in private letters.
(From the Journal des Debate.)
PARIS, MAY 26.—Count de Silveira, uncle to the
Marquis de Chaves, arrived at Bayonne on the 19th.
lie was accompanied by one of his officers and a do-
mestic. It would appear that he is not on good
terms with his nephew, for the latter rode out that
day, and it was remarked that he did not go to meet
his uncle.

(From the Constitutionnel.)
PAWN, MAY 2E.--The King yesterday granted a
private audience to Count d'Offalia, Charge d'Affaires
of Spain to the Court of London.
M. Eynard set out yesterday for London, in order,
if possible, to terminate the affair of the Greek
steam-boats, which have cost so much and done so
3ittle.
A private letter from Lisbon, written on the even-
ing of the 12th, says, that the Princess is looked
upon as out of danger, but that, notwithstanding,
she has not yet signed the nomination of the Go-
vernors of the provinces.
Sir W. Clinton has passed several days incognito,
at Lisbon, which is about to become the head-
quarters of the English army. All the troops are
assembling in that city and its environs, probably
with the view of preventing an insurrection, should
the Princess Regeut die at this moment.
It is generally believed that the Emperor Don
Pedro will arrive at Lisbon about the end of June,
or the commencement of July. Dr. Abrantes has
affirmed as much. _ _ .

EPSOM RACES.

The metropolitan, or home races, commenced yesterday
at Epsom. As is generally the case on a commencement
lay, the company was not very numerous, but we eb-
.erved several noblemen in the new stand erected adjoin-
ing the judge's, for the stewards and their fiiends : there
~vere the Dukes of Richmond and Grafton, Earl Mount-
clerks, Lords G. H. Cavendish and Anson, and several
others of the nobility.
There was some slight betting-4 to 1 offered against
Glenartney (no takers) ; 6 to I against Windermere; and
sto on the one against the other ; 83} to 1 against the
Duke of Grafton's twe ; and Si to.l against Mr. Wynd-

'I lIE BANK CIRCULAR.

Sir J. WROTTESLEY rose to give notice that, on the
7th June, he would bring forward a motion for the produc-
tion of a Circular from the Bank of England, which he
took it for granted every Member of that House had seen.
Mr. MANNING (the Bank Director) said, that, per-
haps, he might prevent the necessity of the Ho-
nourable Baronet's motion, as he could assure the HMV('
that there was not the slightest foundation for the statement
that the Circular to which the Hon. Baronet alluded had
emanated from the Bank of England. They had heard of
such a Circular, but they knew nothing of it.—(Hear.)
Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY said that the explanation
which the Honourable Bank Director had given,
was by no means satisfactory to him. If the
Circular had not been issued by direction of the Gover-
nors of the Bank of England, he had reason to believe
that it was issued by some person connected with the
Bank. He should therefore allow his notice to stand for.
the day he had named.
Mr. PEARSON (a Bank Director) was about to make
some observations in reply, but was called to order by,
The SPEAKER, who said there was no question be-
fore the House, the Hon. Baronet's motion having been
*geed to.

[Left speaking.]

Edward G. Wakefield was left addressing the House on
the nature of the evidence he would forward to substan-
tiate his case. The conclusion will be given in a SECON
EDITIO14;•

It appeared that, upon the opposing creditor arresting
non assumpsit to the action, and thereby drove the plain-
tiif to trial, by which he incurred costs to the amount of
441., his debt being QRly 25/ 4s. 6d. To prove this mi-
litating fact, the plaintiff's attorney put in the proNed-
ingsin the cause.

The insolvent, in his examination by Mr. HEATH, de,-
elated that he told his attorney that he had no defence to
the action, and it was set up without his direction or
concurrence.

The COURT, considering that it was an easy thing to
throw the blame upon an absent person, held that the in-
solvent was responsible for the acts of his attorney, and
sentenced him to be confined within the walls of the
prison for five calendar to mills, for patting his creditor
to vexatious expenses.

Theobald was the eldest of three brothers, and one sister;
all of whom seemed to have inherited the erratic propen-
sities of their maternal grandfather, who was Captain of a
merchant ship, and a great original. "My father and
mother," writes Tone in 1796, " were pretty much like
other people, but I think it will appear that their children
were not at all like other people ; but have had, every one
of them, a wild spirit of adventure, which, though some-
times found in an individual, rarely pervades a whole family,
including even the females : for my brother William has
visited Europe,Asia, and Africa, before he was thirty years
of age; Mathew has been in America twice, in the West
Indies once ; not to mention several trips to England, and
his voyage and imprisonment in France ; and all this, be-
fore he was twenty-seven. Arthur, at the age of fourteen,
has been once in England, twice in Portugal and has twice
closed the Atlantic, going to and returning from Anierica.
My sister Mary crossed the same ocean, and, I hope, will
do the same on her return. Ido not here speak of my
wife, and our little boys and girl, the eldest of which latter
was about eight, and the youngest two years old, when we
sailed, for America; and, by all I can see, it is by no
means certain, that our voyages are yet entirely finished."

SURREY SESSIONS-APRIL 30.

The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the Grand Jury, ob-
served, that in the Calendar for their consideration there
were no crimes of an uncommon nature, and shortly dis-
missed them to their duties.

Among the many curious excuses made by Jurymen to
exempt themselves from serving, one of the Traverse Jury
made application, amidst the deafening laughter of the
whole Court, to be excused on the ground of his being a
freeholder.

William Gibbs, a young man of respectable appearance,
was indicted for having stolen various articles, the property
of the Overseers of the parish of Lambeth. The defendant's
father held the situation of Governor of the House of In-
dustry, at Norwood. At his death, and when another
Governor was appointed, the defendant removed his pro-
perty from the house to his residence in Wentworth-street,
Whitechapel. The Overseers having missed some property,
obtained a search warrant, and examined the defendant's
premises, where' they found rags, and mats resembling
these manufactured at the House of Industry. The officers
seized these, together. with wine, candles, and soap, sus-
pected to be the property of the parish of Lambeth. The
defendant was also taken into custody, but was discharged
by the Magistrate for want of evidence, and part of the
articles that had been seized were restored to: him, as they
turned out to be the defendant's property. On this occa-
sion the witnesses were unable to identify the property, and
Mr. Gibbs was acquitted.
Mr. Gibbs's Counsel applied for a copy of the indict-
ment, as he said it wa.s his intention to proceed against the
parties who had indicted him.

THE INSPECTOR•

We understand, and are glad. to hear it, that
this publication is likely to become popular,—if
vigour of thought, novelty of subject, together
with a certain pleasant arch humour, deserve en-
couragement—then has the " Inspector" every
claim to popularity. Our limits will not allow
us to give proofs of what we here state, which
we the less regret, as, from its Increasing sale,
the " Inspector" may, in a great degree, dispense
with our good opinion and good wishes.

MENDICITY SOCIETY.

The Ninth Annual Meeting of the Supporters and
Friends of this Society, was held yesterday at the Free-
masons' Tavern. Previous to the commencement of the
proceedings of the day, it was understood that the curl of
Hardwicke would take the Chair ; but at one o'clock it was
announced that the Noble Earl had sent a letter, in which
he regretted his inability to attend punctually, and to mark
the high estimation in which he held the Society, he for-
warded his donation of 101. Under these circumstances,
the Hon. C. J. Shore was called to the Chair ; but Lord
Hardwicke soon after arrived, and presided during the re-
mainder of the proceedings. The Hon. Chairman having
opened the business of the day, the Assistant Manager read
the Annual Report. It was highly satisfactory. The
Report being concluded, General Thornton moved, that it
be received and circulated. The usual resolutions were
then proposed and adopted, and after having strongly tea..',
tifieel its approbation of the principles of the Society, and
the mantle - in which they were carried into execution, the
meeting separated.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

We are glad to find that the delightful author
of " Hints for the Holidays" has again taken up
his pen, and given us an almost equally delight-
ful paper upon " May-day." Perhaps there is
no living writer (if we excejt Miss Mitford, and
she is only superior by being more strictly cor-
rect and matter-of-fact) who describes with such
hearty earnestness, the landscapes and the vil-
lages, and the characteristic features of rural life.
This is obvious throughout his present paper on
" May-day," which, besides the correctness of its
localities, evinces a deep meditative spirit ofpoetry,
mixed up with a pleasing and amiable pathos.
We give the following mingled specimen of de-
scription and sentiment, requesting the reader to
compare it with one of Miss Mitford's, which we
shall give below from the Monthly Magazine:—
It is May-day, and I shall be happy as the season. What
although some sad and solemn thoughts coin* suddenly
across me, the day is not at nightfall felt to have been the
less delightful, because that shadows now and then be-
dimmed it, and moments almost mournful, or of an un-
hymning hush, took possession of field or forest. lam all
alone,—a solitary pedeetrian,—and obeying the fine im-
pulses of a will whose motiqes are changeable as the chame-
leon's hues, my feet shall bear me glancingly along to the
merry music of streams,—or linger by the silent shores of
]oche,.—or upon the hill-summit pause, I the only spectator
of a panorama painted by Spring, for my sole delight,—or
plunge into the old wood's magnificent exclusion from sky,
Where, all summer long, day is as night,—but not so now,
for this is the season of buds and blossoms—and the cushat's
nest is yet visible on the almost leafless boughs, and the
• tashins streams in upon the ground-flowers, that in ano-
ther month will be cold and pale in the forest gloom, al-
most as those that bedeck the dead when the vault-door is
closed and all is silence.
The " Subaltern iu America," is by far the
best and most spirited of those numerous
sketches of the American war, with which we
are now every where deluged. The account of
General Ross's death, in particular, is highly
impressive. The " Catholic Question," is al-
together unworthy of Blackwood, it would be
unworthy even of the Literary Magnet ; inde-
pendently of its unjudicious spirit, as a compo-
sition, it is common-place. We would recom-
mend the author when he next attempts to put
forth crude dogmas upon so momentous a sub-
ject, to come to his task at least with a more en-
larged, if not a more temperate mind ; also to
read with attention a discussion on the Catholic
Question, in the last number of the Edinburgh
Review, with which if he be not convinced, then
indeed, he is like love, incurable :—" nullis me-
dicabilis herbis."

PEDESTRIANISAL

Yesterday morning a foot race of two miles took place
on the Kelburn-road for 50 sow. between Captain Parker
and Fish, the runner from Nottingham. The Captain
made all the play at starting, and maintained his supe-
riority until within fifty yards of home, when Fish made
play, passed him in grand style, and won the race by
about ten yards. Betting was 5t04 on the Captain.
