WESTMINSTER COURT OF REQUESTS.

BRITTEN V. Cociczatu..—The plaintiff in this case
sought to recover of the defendant 45..10d. being the
value of two books which she had damaged, and the
price of reading them, being some two pence Fer vo-
lume. Mrs. Britten described herself as being the
keeper of something of a circulating library, in an an-
tient and populous, but -not very classical neighbour.
hood, viz. Tower-street, Seven-dials. Close by lived
the defendant, Mrs. Cockerill, who had a greet taste
for the marvellous, the wonderful, the horrible. and
the impossible ; and to gratify this taste; she had, for
some time, been a twopenny customer to the above
something of a library, and had ransacked its
shelves, thorn the works of the mighty enchantress of
the Mysteries of Udolpho, down to the worst of her
namby pamby imitators. All went on smoothly for a
long time, and Mrs. Cockerill neglected her husband's
.shirts and stockings for the delightful thrillings occa-
sioned by romance reading. At length she was so un-
fortunate as to borrow two volumes, with a most in-
teresting title, being neither more nor less than the
Venetian Sorceress. a beautiful book, saving and ex-
cepting the dog-ears, the thumbings, the greasings, and
other little unnecessary auxiliaries, being in all other
respects, Mrs. Britten assured the Court, as good as
new. Now, it appeared that the Venetian Sorceress
hail, attractions for others in the house where Mrs.
Cockerill resided, besides herself; some unlucky rogues
of children found their way into her room during her
absence, and made free with some two dozen leaves,
first is, the prettiest part ; such being the case, Mrs.,
Britten would not have the Sorceress back at any price ;
and as Mrs. Cockerill refused to pay her any price for
it, she bad taken the resolution to summon ber for it.
Mrs. Cockerill, a pretty looking young woman, being
called upon for her defence. simpered, and blushed,
and fidgetted, a good deal ; she thought it very hard
indeed,. after having been so good a customer, that the
dispenser of literature should be so hard-hearted ; she
even ventured to hint that the contents of the books was
poor trash, mere rubbish, food not fit for a Christian's
digestion. Mrs. Britten, although she had been heard,
denied this vehemently, and declared that she had
bought the Venetian Sorceress second hand,. for the
valuable consideration of five good and lawful shillings;
and as to its being trash, " Why," said she, turning to
the fair novel reader, " why are you so fond of feeding
on it; answer me that?'
This raised a smile on the grave visages of the Com- ,
missioners, who seemed to think there was some truth
in the last remark, and upon considering the whole
case, they awarded Mrs. Britten three shillings for her
Venetian Sorceress; who seemed to think she was cer-
tainly worth considerably more; while, on the other
hand, Mrs. Cockerill bounced out of Court, vowing she
would not read another novel or romance as long as
she lived, it she was to pay for them at this rate; a re-
solution which will be much in favour of her husband,
that is, if she keeps it.

A MENAGERIE DROWNED.—The gale from the North,
which•was telt most severely at Calais on the 20th inst.
stranded, at two o'clock that day, the Swedish brig
Nord*n, Captain SANDERS. She left Rouen for the
21st of this month, bound for Stockholm ; she had on
board several packages, consisting of presents from the
King of SWEDEN, and also a menagerie, composed of
a lion and lioness, a white bear, a black bea-, a wolf
from Hungary, two tiger cats, -several monkeys and
perroquets, 'belonging to the Sieur MrLaAtssfß,
German, who was a passenger, with his wife and two
servants. The crest of eight men, and the passengers
(with the excepton of four men, who were saved by a
vessel from Calais) got into the boat and were saved.
All the animals composing the menagerie have been
found dead upon the coast. They have recoveled many
of the packages addressed to the King of SWEDEN*

FOOT RACE.
Afoot race, which excited much interest in Canterbury and
Faversham, tonic place on Wednesday afternoon at Sheldwich
Lees, between Mr. John Marden, a celebrated (est runner of
Faversham, and Mr. Samuel White, of this City, for • £2O aside,
distance 40 rods. At starting White's foot slipped, and he was
never able to overtake Marden during the race, who won by about
a rod. From Maiden's well known speed he was freely backed
by his friends at 2 and 3to 1 before starting. A
.good deal of
loose cash changed owners upon this occasion. Among the sports
of the day, we must mention another feat, that of a man picking up
100 stones, a yard apart, in 34 minutes, with his hands confuted.

Ltsron returns to town this 'day se'nuighl, and will
continue to amuse us with Paul Pry, &c. till the close of the
Haymarket Theatre.

during the night of Sunday se'nnight, one of which be-
longed,we understand,to a manufacturer of Il'ottingh a m.
In Manchester, no less than four failures have taken
place within these last few days ; tsci of them it is
feared, from the extent of business the parties have bren

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN GLASGOW.--Eally on Friday
morning, a most destructive fire broke out in that build-
ing at the corner of Jamaica street, West* aide, GlasgOvr,
so lately fitted up with elegant shops. Trieclestiuction
of the building is complete--even the walls are levelled
with the ground and form a mass of ruins. The inha.
bitants effected their escape with the greatest diffleulty,
'without being able to save a single article of ftifhiture
or clothes. The occupiers, of the upper

timely awakened, otherwise .their lives were m.?ins.
.minent danger, the conflagration being so rapide': The
Police and engines were early upon the spot,-first gnarly
three quarters of an hour elapsed before any, water
could be obtained from the pipes. N r lives were Jost.
A little before eleven o'clock in the forenoon, .while
some of the firemen were within the premises pointing
the pipes to the turning beams, the Superintendent of
Police, who was most unremitting in his at.ention, ob-
serving the north gable beginning to totter, rushed in,
and ordered them out, and in ten minutes it fell in with
a tremendous crash. The other walls were afterwards
pulled down, as they were in a dangerous state... -The
tenement is partly insured, but only one tenant s. the
others• have lost their whole property (excepting.a tal-
low-chandler who s tvd the most of his stock) having
had barely, time to escape with the .r lives. The fine
originated from a stove.
LAUNCH.—Tne Lord Lowther, an East India.
man of the first class, was launched on Saturday from
the dock-yard of Messrs. Barnard and Co. Dept"ord.
The state of the t'cle serving a little before three china,
and the requisite arrangements being completedr the
noble vessel glided majestically into the river, amidst
the cheers of the multi ude assembled to witness the
ceremony. Lord Lowrisze, after %horn the vessel is
named, was present on the occasion, and a large plat-
form, occupying olie entire side of the dock, was filled
with an assemblage of elegant company, to the number
of nearly four hundred. After the launch they ad-
journed to the sail-tooin, which was fitted up in a :tha-
sacteristic, but tasteful manner, for their reception,
where they partook of an etc:Rent cold collation. A
band of music attended; and after the repast the com-
pany were gratified by the performance of glees and
vocal music, by a se'ect corps of ptolssional Gentle.
men, consisting of Messts. Leete, Pyne, Broad-
hurst, and Fitzwilliam. After several loyal and national
*toasts hadlieen given, the health: of Lord LOWT*!R,
of Mr. H. BLANSHARD, the managing owner, and of
Captain STEWART, the commander of the new vessel,
were drank with much enthusiasm. „Shortly after six
o'clock a portion of the tables were removed for the pu-
pae of clearing sufficient space for dancing, whiCh was
then commenced with great spirit, and kept up -without
intermission to a late hour. We nester witnessed an
entertainment of the kind better conducted, nor in which
more genuine good humour and cordiality prevailed,
from its commencement to its conclusion. •

SARDINIAN ATTACK ON TRIPOLI.
The following statement respecting the rupture be-
tween these two Sates, has been posted at Lloyd's:
" It is said the Sardinian squadron, consisting of the ships as per
note at foot; on their arrival of Tripoli, sent a message to the
Atabaw, informing him they had come to lend the Consul ; that
the &sham returned in answer refusing to receive him unless ear-
taibremns be claimed under verioss• pretences were paid to him;
on which it stems the Sardinian Commodore sent on shore his ul-
timatum, intimating that unless the Consul was accepted without
any payment, be must proceed to hostilities, and gave the Bashaw
three days time to reflect on the matter; that on the third day an
• answer came from the Saslow. ',lying that he persisted in his re-
solution; on which Commodore Sivisie made a signal to attack the
place, which, owing to the shoals and shallow water, was chiefly
performed by the brig Nereid, and.the armed launches, skiffs, and
boats, of the fleet, which kept a brisk fire on the castle sad forts of
the place.
" It is added, the boats boarded, took, and burnt three of the
Bubaw's cruisers, which were lying in the port ready for sea
landed a body of men in the docks, and set fire to a brig on the
stocks, which was partly burnt; that after this, the Bisahaw sent
the British Consul off to the Commodore, with a carte blanche, to
make up matters on the best conditions he could. In consequence
of which, hostilities ceased, the Consul was received, and the
former treaties were solemnly renewed. It is further reported,
the Nereid bad one man killed, and seven wounded. •We have not
been able to learn what louts in men she other vessels sustained."

A public meeting is in contemplation for the praise-
worthy purpose of promoting the establishment of a Li-
terary and Scientific Institution, for die accommodation
of persons engaged in commercial and professional pur-
suits,. in the western part of the metropolis. It is pro-
posed to have a library and reading-room, lectures on
. science, and classes for the acquisition of languages, &c.
These are objects truly worthy of the stealthy and be-
olent. This is the liberality which, while it affords
v gratifiCation to the giver, confers a real benefit on
Aire teceiver. It is truly gratitying to see the number of
institutions of an intellectual character, which,-within
the short apace of a year ur two have been established
throughout the country.

sixty years of age) whose name is Dr. hltu,s, .was

In order to demoustrate the importance of colonists
devoting their attention to the- production of the raw,
material, rather than:employing their capital in mania-1
factoring, it has been stated that the number of hands'
employed in Great Britain in one branch of the cotton
manufacture alone, vis. spinning cotton twist, amounts
to 51450,000. It iscalculated that this number of bands,
aide., by the power of steam and water, and nimbi-1
very, are able to spin as mucl.thcead as could have
been- spun before the. introducticin of such machinery
by the hands of. twenty-five Anilions of p.ople ; and
this calculation.respepting the power of machinery is
supported by a fact otherwise inesplicable—namely,
that cotton-wool is grown in Hiudotan, imported into
Great Britain,,where it is manulactored, and afterwards
si turned to Hindostan, and sold at pi ices ruinous to the
WWI manufacturer, although h s workmen are con-
tented with wages at twopence per d 47. As Great Britain
thus possesses skill, machinery, and capital, sufficient to
manufacturo wool, cotton, silk, fin, hemp, irons copper,
Sec. for the whole world, and at a cheaper rmethan
any other nation, the true interest of Britain :evidently
is, that she should be the manufacturers and her colo-.
Ines the growers of the raw materials.
Typhus fever and cholera morlaus prevail to a great
extent in the vicinity of Stamford; and a great mar!
talky has been the consequence.
