LITERATURE.

Babylon (he Creat, by the Author of "_the Modern

Athens," 2 Vols. Bvo. London, I 525.

:we been so ireqnently am_
titles into the purchase books, for which we would after-
wards have been disposed to receive a very small
moiety of their original price that we resolved long
ago to delay the gratification of our curiosity in regard
to new works, until we had received such an account of
them from others, as to render it probable, that our ex-
pectation of amusement or instruction, would not be
altogether disappointed.—This must be our excuse
with our readers (and we have no doubt it will be a
sufficient one), for havirig delayed to take any notice of
• a work on a subject so interesting as the metropolis of
our country, its, arts, its sciences. its literature, its insti-
tutions, its amusements, and the various occupations of
its irlabitants, present so many topics of interesting and
important disquisition and reflection, that it is truly
astonishing that no one had hitherto thought of bring-
ing them before the public. The author of Babylon
has done much, towards filling up this gap in the
history of the times, and done it well; but much yet
' remains to be said on the subject; and as he has suc-
ceeded so well in what he has already executed, we
trut that he will be encouraged to complete the picture.
On a subje'.4 of such extent, embracing so many and
such important topics, it cannot be expo cted that we
should join in all the opinions whicn the author has
thought proper to put forth ; but we have no hesitation in
declaring that the %tot k is characterized byan abundance
of infor illation, a depth of reflection, and a spirit of im-
eartiarty but rarely met with. Lords and Commons,
Mayors, Aldermen, Poets, Poetesses. Authors, and pit*
of all partite and of all descriptions ; in fine, every
individual member of the Babylon, of whom be
thinks it proper to take notice (not excepting our
humble selves), are treated of by the author with a.
degree of freedom and independence, which may not
altogether coincide with their preconceived notions of
public iniportance, but which will undoubtedly give to
the work additional value with the generality of readers.
The author seems to have bad no other object in
view but that of giving a lively and faithful picture of
the scenes and characters which he has had an °ppm..
tunity of observing and sketching: It is time, however,
• that our readers should judge for themselves.
Of the component parts of the Babylon, the author
gives the following account :
"s The beautiful sionilitode of the image, ender which the empire
of the ancient Babylon was presented to the dreaming Mooarch of
that great city, applies as well to Babylon the Great as if it bad
been' whispered into the ear of the Lord Mayor instead or that of.
Nebuchadnessar--'. Thou, 0 King, rawest and beheld a great
image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood
before thee, and the form thereof was terrible. This image's bend
was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his
thighs of bias', legs of iron, his feet part of iron and pan of clay:
••4 Now, in all the four elements of which the manageable and
describable part of the Great Babylon is composed—in that which
is, that which is spoken, that which is written, and that which is
done, within her ample circumference, throughout her countless
• divisions, and among her innumerable people, it is always easy to
trace the component parts of the chaldean image : there is always.
. the bead of gold—showy and valuable, but withal exceedingly.
heavy there are the breast and the arms of silver—the desire of
Mainasoo, and the means of grasping at and attaining him; there
. are*, belly and thighs of brass, not merely in obtrusive colour
Amid emotes. mend, but literally, and without nay kite at all, it •
demands that a part of the human body, kept so- incessantly at
work as the Babylonian bowels, should have; the strength and in:
sensibility of brass ; there are the.lega of iron,and whoa one comes
to the very lowest extremity. the miry clay begins to predominate
over that ; so that if the meanest 4811 the Babylonian elements be
i
' taken, one may almost regard it as n the act of passing into those
bricks, of which the external Babylon I. composed.'
For the dearth of poetic talent in the Babylon, the
author assigns the following reasons, of the soundness of
' which, we are not altogether convinced.
• We complain that the silly ones who at present hang their
imps upon the willow trees by the river of Babylon. will not
make them ring with those sublime and celestial strains, which
sense to us so refreshing through the long vista of years. But
while we do this, we forget that, all feeble as are the personages,.
and all stringless and all tuneless, as are the instruments upon
which the passing wind of the day just wakens a wretched note as
it goes by, these singers are in a land'where those songs, which- of
• old gave delight, are impossible, and where they would not be
heeded, even could they be procured. Sublimity in poetry, and in
that prose which; more than 'any poetry is istblime,smust Boa un:
' bought, and unbidden from the rock of nature herself; and be
whose chief object it is to measure labour, which is cilled intellec-
tual, against the petishing subsistence of the day, cannot be ex-
pected to produce any thing that is not equally perishable. If we
would have back again those intellectual giants who hailed the day-
• spring of English Literature, we must put both knowledge and so-
ciety in the condition in which they then were ;we must have authors
• who wrote (ruin other motives from those which induce men to
hallow common mechanical trades, and we must have a suffisient
vartity of new knowledge to stimulate them to the work." •
Atter some very gallant eulogiums on the " fair" of
the Babylon, the author presents us with the following
remarks :

We ha

iced. b

promising
. . _

" There is another quality or practice, vibrating between a vir-
tee and a vice, from which the Babylonian fair are also remarkably I
frac—and that is blue-stockingism. It is true, that there are
within the sound of the bell of St. Paul's, Ladies as profoundly
wiled in the small vanities of philosophy, and who can indite
verses at as small expense to the English of the King, or to the
• • tnlerstanding of his subjects, as they who shiver over the embers
• of the vestal fire at the seat of some icoleserating University of
• the Korth; but as everything in London is a vendable commodity,
• valuable only on account of the return which it brings, the science•
a::d the song of the wise and the witty woman by the Thames,
• plump quietly Into the river, unless some civil critic, for favours
known or rot known, proclaim them to the, world, as matte re
worthy of being purer:abed."
We would willingly indulge our Readtrs with a peep
• :la corporation of the Babylon, and the- author's
op:aion of what he has been facetiously pleased to de-
nomir.ate London's Particular Eloquence;" but our
extracts have been. already unusually large, and we'
• tLeldfore, conclude them with the -following just
acd 31irited• pottrait.oi Mr. Secretary Canning:

Car. abaut him, Mr. Canning his more of the real art of the orator
thar. any man in the. House. Canning's head is about the finest you
cat meet with. It does not, to be sure, indicate that depth or that
p• r; which are indicated by some others; but there is so much
anattry and grace, so perfect a balancing of all its faculties, and
• tataLlin.absence of everything harsh, or mean, or vulgar, that if be
wirer.rit a very able man ,the anticipation is so great,t hat his speeches
- w ut.!d appear to be tables. But his manner,and!geneially speaking,
Itte matter, are_every way worthy of the Stanary (so to speak) of
' Lie eloquence. His voice is not so tremendously loud"when etc-
• vated, neither can It sink into the curious undertone which seems
. peculiar to Pronghait ; .but it Is deep and musical, and accords with
his open and. manly eiptession ; and though his action be somewhat
more theakrial than It would be safe for inferior Men to undertake,
:ice no man knows better how to 'stilt the action to the word.-
-brae Savage which Mr. Canning employs is exceedingly showy,
aaidikis Style, though never tiresome, is very elaborate. One cannot
pcoMponce that he is the most acute and close of logicians; but he
ts.teserally so clear, and always so spefbus, that one foUlaws him

LAIV REPORr.
COURT OF. CR-14--A CER T, AUGUST S. •
IN THZ NATTER OF HUTCHINSON, 4 BANKRUPT.
Friday, his Low:mum said, Mr. Agargar has had the good
ness to point out to me what he conceives were questions
that ought not to have been shed of ihe bankrupt, and
they anruni in number to about six and thirty. The
bankrupt has not demurred to answering one of them,
nisi the contrary he has given answers to thea; all. His
Lordship;after taking a perspicuous view of the case,
concluded by observing, I have often alluded to a case,
where the four Judges of the Court of • King's
Bench were decidedly of opinion, that the'answers were
not satisfactory ; and where the (bur Judges of the Com-.
mon Pleas expressly stated, that they could not conceive
why the answers should be thought unsatisfactory. When
the law was, as it was heretofore, that if a man gave a'
direct answer, whether the answer was true or false, it
was certainly satisfactory, a Judge knew what he was
about, because he could only look to the statute to see if
the answer was either a positive admission or a positive
denial; but now the law is so altered, that the Commis-
sii.ners are to determine, in the fist place, whether an-
swers are satisfactory or not to them; and then the Court
is to determine whether they are satisfactory to him, or,
in other words, he is to say, whether or not they should
have been satisfactory to them. I must act upon my
own opinion, and the present inclination of my mind is,
with respect to this Gentleman, who is now in custody,
that the answers would have satisfied me. I shall again
read the examinationin the course of the day, and if I
continue to have the same feeling of opinion at the rising
of the Courrthati have now, which I believe you will
find to be the, case I shall let you. know, and he must
then be discharged.--This day his Lordkip. confitmed
the decision, and discharged the banktupt.

IN Till mArreft OW IllAltittA CRAMPTON, AN WNW?.
This was a:Petition presented on behalf of the infant,
for the confirmation of the Master's Report. This young
..Lady bad, it appeared, followed the example of some
other wards under the care of the court, and had eloped
with a young Gentleman to Gretna Green, and had there
been-married. A reference had been directed to the
Master, to iticertain whether the parties had been duly
married, and to mike a settlement. The Master bad
now made a settlement, and had reported that the par.
ties were duly married.—Master's report confirmed.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in the very
important petition of Willis, Esq. and Lady Mary,
his Wife. in this cause.

The particulars which form the ground of complaint
have been stated in the columns of former papers, and
in substance are, that a petition had been presented in
the name of Lady Mary Willis, then Lady Mary Bowes,
before she came of age, to get a considerable sum
out of Court, and that the money being by this•
mehns obtained, bad been lent on a seeirity that was
not available.

The Caeicato.on, in giving judgment stated, that
the Solicitoremployed in the former petition, by which
this money was withdrawn.from the Court, was answer-
able for the amount, as- was: every person connected
with him in the transaction; and he should snake in
order accordingly; for the return- of the money 'Kt°
Court; that that order would require some attention ie,
,the drains* tip, and he would deliver it out as soon as
possible.. The Chancellor further • remarked, that in'
frandng this•order, he should- likewise take ears that,

one by Lady Turner another on the .part of the Com.
mittee ;• a thitd on the. hehalf of Mr. VnCorbett;
an a fourth:from Sir Gregory Page Turner himself
generally, piaying a refeence to the Master, to inquire
into thebstate,of the lunatic's affairs. His Lordship: di-,
rected a.reterence to ascertain what allowance should'
be inadefor the maintenance of the. lunatic, his wife
'ancrchild. •
• In. the case'of: Lord Portsmouth three petition' were
presented,: praying a reference to the Master, to make
enquiries relative to certain proposals for letting the
estates of the lunatic. They were entirely matters of
course, and were accedtd-to without discussion.

In the matter of the Ashby School, a.petition was
presented on bthalf of the Rev. Mr. Curtis, prayin#nt:
be re-established as Head Mister of the School.
grounds upon which he had been removed, were, that
be had only been temporarily •appointed, and that he
had been guilty of improper conduct ih the instruction
of the youth under his charge..
The LORD CHANCELLnR was of opinion, that toe
Trustees had no right to remove Mr. Curtis, no futnal
opinion having been expressed by the %%hole of them,
and no meeting hdving,been called far the purpose.

LIVERPOOL,- Ave. 4.—Tuesday night, an attempt
was made on the life of a person near the Borough
jail, in Great Howard-sweet. About ten o'clock, a
fi.he:man, on I is way h ):newards, heard loud cries of
" Murder !" and on going towards a plot of unoccu•
pied ground near the Borough jail, he met a man ran•
ning towards him ; from 'his hasty manner, the fisher-
man entertained a suspicion that he had been commit-
ting some crime, and being a very powerful man, he
seized the fellow by
.the collar; a piece of the colt;
,however,-gave way in the struggle that ensued, and the
Man escaped, leaving the piece in the fisherman's pos.
session. The fisherman then obtained further assistance,
and on searching about iheground, a man was discoterej
lying in a most dreadful state, and nearly covered with
blood. The wounded man was -carried, in a state of
insensibility,to the' infirmary, where he still lies; he
was alive at a late hour last night, but his death was
hourly expected : he was not able to utter any thing
distinctly; but when asked his name, he said something.'
which sounded like Davis., Certain eicurnstances came
to light, which led the police to suspect a man named,
Matthias Kelly, a labourer, employed in loading and
unloading ships. Yesterday morning, a party of officers
proceeded to Prince's Dock, where they found Kelly at
work in the hold of a ship ; and on being made ac-
quainted with-their mission, he made a most desperate
resistance, in which he was seconded by another
bourer,la-
named Philip Caffrey, who attacked the (Ai.'
cess olently. with a shovel. Kelly and Caffrey were,
however, atter a severe struggle, secured, and hiuled'
from the hold by ropes. On searching Kelly's lodg-
ings, a jacket was found wilh marks of blood. and a
piece torn off.. A shirt which Kelly had on was also
marked with blood ; and there were some other eircum•
stances which we will for the present. omit, as the pi,
soners have not yet undergone any ereetimaion. The
unfortunate man's skull is dreadfully fractured; in-
deed, it is a matter of surprise he survives it so long.

DESTIi:fiICTI fin : •
. •
A fire broke out about e!ght o'clock yesterday morn-
ing, in the first floor of the hriuse of nessis. S:ephen
Wilson, Son, and Co. silk-manufacturers, No. 124,
Wood-street,Cheapside, and corner of Goldsmith-street.
The fire burst out at all the first floor windows, and
threatened the total destruction of the whole hoOse and-
-of those adjoining. The very speedy arrival of the
engines, with. an abundant supply of water, confined
the fire to the warehouse of Mr.'Weedon, which, with
its contents, is completely destroyed. The valuable
property in the warehouse of Messrs. Wilson and Co.
has been greatly damaged by 'scorching, and the ism-,
mense quantity of water poured in 'upon the premises,
to preserve them from total destruction. The fire was
got completely under by nine o'clock.

About half past three o'clock yesterday morning a
fire broke put in Parker's-rents, Shoe-lane. The houses
being built of wood and of long standing, great alarm
prevailed for the safety. of the inhabitants. Fortunately,
however, they were alarmed in sufficient time to save
their lives and most of their little property; and there
being a plentiful supply of water, the flames were •con-
fined to the house where it originated, the greatest part
of which was however destroyed.
Saturday night, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr.
Healy, law stationer, in Chancery-lane. The family
being Out of town, the door was forced open, when, by
a prompt supply of water from the neighbouring
houses, the flames were suppressed, after doing con.
side, able damage to the stock in trade.

Friday se'nnight, about two o'clock in the afternoon,
a dreadful fire occurred atWilburton, in the Isle of Ely,
in consequence of the overheating of a haystack. The
flames spread from the stack to the houses of Mrs. Sa-
berton aqd Mr.JohnLeach,which were totally destroyed,
together with the furniture, The farming buildings of
Mr. John Pond, and James 'Crow and William Gilbert,
a large hay stack belonging to Mr. T. Granger, and a
large barn, stables, cart-lodges, and other buildings, on
a farm belonging to Mr. Sergeant Pell, and occupied
by Mr. Richard Bailey, nett fell a prey. The fire was
burning among the stacks the whole of the following
day. It is supposed that the loss cannot be much un-
der MOO.

Friday sennight a fire broke out upon the premises
of Mr. Jepps, at Harlton, in Cambridgeshire, occasioned
it is supposed, by the wadding of a pistol-, which had
been waltonly fired of by 'a boy in the' stable: The
flames communicated to a hay-stack, and to a dwelling-
house adjoining, occupied by Mrs. Scruby, also a eat-
tage, granary, and various outbuildings, the property of
Mr. Whitechurth, which were all Consumed. The da-
mage is estimated at nearly 11,000. . .
• Saiditny night, a destructive fire• broke out in
one of the projecting wings of the east front of Messrs.
Colt and Son's mills, at Armley, Leech. The roof
burst forth in a volume of flame, and the fire continued
°to spread in all.directions till,the whole of the building
was burnt to the groutcd, and all its valuable machinery
altsdlroperty destroyed. The damage is estimated' at
WM. .The premises are insured.
• Last night, about twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in
the house of Mr.,,losoop oitipidcolourman, High-street,
Mary-la-bonne, which destroyed the whole interior and
!Veit, and dammed the houses adjoining, belonging to
'Aft%. Trebble, usgbtnian, Marplaibonne-lane, Mr.
Meirgerots; NW, ind Mrs. niggly gree.n-groser. Had
not a plentiful supply of water been speedily obtained,
the whole street would probably have been burnt down.
In addition to the conflagrations which are now
taking place in all parts of the world, the village of
Oheraltetheim, near Wurtzburg, caught fire on the
pBth nit. 44 Through want of water," says the account,
K three hundred houses were burnt down besides the
'Church." Several persons were missing, and one hun-
dred and twenty-three families, composing a popula-
tion Of, Sell indrvidtiads, were reduced in a few hours
to the deepest misery.,

NV/kunst/au, JULY If ...The circle .1 the Upper
Maine, which suffered $ll much last year by terrible
fires, seems not yet to have appeased the fates by so
many burnt oft.' ings. To forty accidents of this kind
in the course of the present year, we have to add the
following. Six weeks ago the village of Steenfels, and
a week after, that of Poxdorf, were almost entirely con-
sumed. Oa the 19th July, a fire broke oat in the vii.
age of Untersturnig, thirty-one houses, thirty barns,
fifty outhbuses, with the new crops of hay and corn,
and a great part of the furniture, wept desttoyed.

Tuesday night, an alarming and destructive fire wos
discovered on the premises of. Mr. Wm. Brovin,.ofUff-
tot Farm, in the parish of Broad Hintonoiai Salis-
bury, and such was the rapidity with which it rated,
that in a very short time it totally consumed dm dwell-
ing-house, barns, stables, granary, S wheat ricks, a
large quantity of wheat in chaff, 50 sacks of beans, 2
hay-ricks, 80 tods of wool, threshing machine, various
implements in husbandry, and the greater part of the
household furniture: and what sadly adds to the ca-
lamity, S valuable riding hones, 2 pigs, 5 dogs, and
all the poultry, were burnt to a cinder. Two la.
bourers' cottages were also consumed. It is a most
providential circuMstance, that Mr. Brown and his
family had not perished in the flames, as the house
was on fire in all directions before it was discovered by
any of its inmates. Three reapers, who were sleeping in
the bars, also. narrowly escaped an 'untimely death;
one of the poor fellow's shirts was on fire on his back.
' The aboie dreadful conflagration is suspected to be the
act of an incendiary, and a woman has since been com-
mitted to MOrlborough Bridewell, oa suspicion of being
the perpetrator of the diabolical act.
At the late fire at Kilmarnock, of which we gave an
account, an old woman, her daughter, with an infant,
and a• young girl of seventeen, perished. Two of the
women were observed making desperate efforts to escape
from the upper floor of the house, but the floor gave way
whilsi 'they were struggling, and they were seen to
pluoge into the devouring fire! The bodies of the wo.
man' and of her child clasped to her bosom were found
literally roasted, presenting a shocking spectacle, and on
removing the bodies some of the limbs actually parted
from the trunk.—Such are some of the results of this
dreadful fite. But here its ravages did not terminate,
for, in the course of a few minutes, nine other houses
(including the Angelina and Office-houses connected
with it) were all enveloped in one tremendous fiame.—
Providentially every living creature in them was rescued
from destruction.—ln spite of every possible well-di-
rectedeffort, 10 houses (except their walls and the ground
floor of the Angel Inn) were completely destroyed in less
than two hours. The appearance of the conlagratiiin
from the surrounding ambience waitrand and sublime
—impressing as it did the specs*s with felings of
the most awful horror.
