LITERATURE AND SCIENCE.

T

st. johnstoisa ; or, JoAn Boil of Goalie. An lii.doliad
Rostanoe. In Three Vols. 12mo.
There is no depirtment of Literature which has been
more extensively or successfully cultivated of late than
that of the Historical Novel, or Romance ;and notwith-
wading the somewhat plausible objections that have
boa wade against a species of writing in Which fiction
• and history are combined, and, as it were, amalgamated,
is loss be allowed to possess many claims to popular
faior, Of tours; we must be here understood to
when ably executed; in which case we know
hardly any species of composition more generally inte-
resting, or affording such extensive scope to a writer of
stay. If for the sake of heightening a situation, or ad-
ding a characteristic trait to a well known personage, the
author occasionally passes the precise bound of histori-
4al accuracy, or draws largely upon his imagination, this
is no greater license than that which has ever been con-
- ceded to the tragic dramatist, who, borrowing the out
of his story from historical events, fills it up so as
prodrice the most impressive effect. Among those
ifisterical Romances which have recently issued from
;press, we hesitate not to assign a foremost place to
St. Johnstoun: Of the author of this intereting pro-
Jection we know nothing. We possess even no clue
to his name. We can hardly suppose it to be a first pro.
•duction, but we are ignorant if it be really so or other-
wise. Of one thin, however, we feel assured, that what-
eser be the writer s literary teputation and pretensions,
he need not decline avowing this production. Criticism
in‘y perhaps detect a kw trifling imperfections; but
fur sustained interest, ell-drawn and forcible delinea-
tion of character, and powerful
.dramatic effect, there
-ire but very few works of the same class which we can
;place beside it. Nothing can be finer` than the portrait
ere given of James. His pedantry, waywardness, poi-
..treonerybis habitual suspicion, his capricious temper,
and self-importance, are all admirably depicted, and form
-a most finished piece of historical portrait painting.—
We certainly look forward with sanguine expectation
to ether productions front the same pen ; yet would
aadsise the author not to .suffer.the blushing dawn of
farce to compose too rapidly. Let him rather strive to
matare and improve his talents; and we shall then hail
his neat appearance with undiminished delight.
ENCYCLOPSDIA METLIOPOLITANA, PART X.
The tenth Part of the Encyclopedia Afetropolitana
_last published, which gives nu less than six Parts in 'soma
what more than eighteen months—a 'progress which,
considering the peculiar nature of its plan, implies a great
• degree of strength both literary and pecuniary. The
writers into whose hands the Encyclopaedia has devolved,
are men who have been educated at Eton and West►
minster, at Oxford and Cambridge. And certainly, if
the list which has been circulated be correct, the Ency-
clopedia Vetropolitana may rank among its contribu-
tors some names of whose assistance any literary work
might well be proud. Blomfield, Monk, Herschel,
Mutely, Babbage, Kater, Arnold, Peacock, and. a
long list of other. names scarcely less distingnished in
the Fasti of our Athena Academia', have been men-
timsed ws welled among its members. The Public,
'therefore, will be glad to learn, that thosa who attach
honour to the names above cited, will see uo reason,
.throughout this multifarious work, to change their opi-
nion, or blush fur Their predilections.
. With respect to the plan upon which this Ene.yc2o •
pails is executed, • whatever.doubts may have existed
;vile 'time as-to its practical possibility, these ate
now of course removed by the evidence •of actual
'eSpieriment. Its principal featuri—that. Of combining
a logical with an alphabetical arrangement—has an-
siered ; and the work, in its state of "even. progress,
instead of being like a house that is building—of
,no use until finished—is really one of the most read-
able periodical productions at -present issuing front
the press. - The History of Rome, for example, which
is to be found in the last Four Parts, may be studied
with pleasure, as a most judicious account of the rise of
.amt extraordinary empire. Its appropriate praise may
--who be bestowed on the treatise upon Logic; it is not only
1. id eicelleat treatise upon:that subject, but it is.the only
,fie pretending to ofiginality. There are alsoasio lives,
'one of Socrates and the other of Plato, attributed to Arch-
deacon BLONTIILD, which are alike admirable for the
-excellent sense and accurate learning which they exhibit.
A history of the life and writings of Plato was hereto-
fore k desideratum in our language. Respecting the
• scientific part, it may, perhaps, be sufficient to say, that
Fife three last treatises in this division of the work are
'film the pen of Captain Kater, Mr. Herschel, and Pro-
fessor Barlow. The most truly novel feature, however,
in this Encyclopedia, is the historical Lexicon which it
prevents of the English language. The plan adopted in
'this part of the work is that which Horne Tooke recom-
mended; and his views are carried into execution with
such an apparatus of reading, such stores of black letter
aa Well as of classical • authorities, as are sufficient to
stamp the work with a character of its own. The com-
bination which is thus continued in the miscellaneous
department of philological, historical, and scientific in-
formation, often on the same word, is as entertaining as
st is useful and instructing.
It would be unjust to conclude this brief notice of a
s •
It so deserving of success, without noticing the plates.
-'7 are by Lowry, and are got up in a manner which
:•.1141.1 add to his high reputation. The maps will attract
•`.*etch notice, as being in some respects upon a new plan,
*lid executed with extraordinary beauty and elegance,

POMP POICEILTEACTINO POISON PROM THE STOMACH.
Nearly two years ago Mr. Jukes, surgeon, contrived
apparatus for evacuating the human stomach, con-
sisting of a long elastic-gum tube, and a large copper
airioge with two valves, or, in other words, a small
Pump. He had proved upon himself the practicability
of employing this instrument which it was thought.
'might be successfully used in extracting poison from the
stomach. On Wednesday evening, the 9th December,
17 request of Sir Astley Cooper, he exhibited his in-
Stnimthi in the Anatomical Theatre at St. Thomas's
hospital, and, to shew its efficacy, would have swal-
"ecl a large quantity of laudanum, had not the en-
treaties Of his friends induced him to substitute a solu-
tion of liquorice. Having swallowed a portion of,
this solution, and diluted it by dtinking two pints of
water, Mr. Jukes introduced the flexible tube into his
mouth, and passed it down into the stomach. Mr. Scott,
a surgeon, who had formerly perfotmed a similar ape-
ration upon thi, Gentleman, immediately fixed the sy-
• tinge to the extteniity of the tube, and in the space of
two minutes completely pumped up the whole of the
Najd that had been drank into a wash-hand basin held
by au ailiStai)t. Sir Astley Cooper expressed the highest
satisfaction in witnessing the speedy and successful
sefe4 of the operation ; and the Theatres which was

excessively crowded' by prortidond glitl/440atats9 rung
loudly with shouts otapprolsation. This public denson4
stration of the vracticithility of ellePtiioS dke salad/
by mechanical means, satisfactoek azseres,the moeieal
profession of the easy application et arentspanitaz .10
cases of poisoning. It would appear, however. that
Mr. Ward. of Nottingham, has, for some time, bad in
his possession a somewhat similar instrument, of the
utility of which (says the &ford Advertiser) we are
happy to give even a more decided proof thou the ex-
periment of Sir A. Cooper, viz. its successful applica-
tion, on the 19th ult. at the request of Dr. Payne; for
the removal of a quantity of lautlanum from the sto-
mach of a woman, in whom the relief was complete.
Mr. It. K. Williams, with the assistance of Mr. Ward.
found not the least difficulty in its application."
The King of Sardinia, Vicroat EMUAVUZL, is ra.l
pidly recovering. The bulletin of the Bth inst. states,
that the august patient enjoys regular sleep, and that he
has begun to take more substantial nourishment. His
Majesty now only complains of a pain in the left side.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 12th instant announces,
that his Majesty the Emperor of Atistata has nomi-
nated the Duke d'ANootiLzste, Grand Cross of the Mi-
litary Order of Maria Theresa.
The Austrian Observer, remit-it:thief°, its hostility:to
the Greeks, states, that during the whole course of
hostilities, though much blood has beroshed, three has
been no action worthy the name of a contbat, and that
it is a mere guerilla warfare on the part of the Greeks.
It is said the Diet of Stockholm has already come to
a resolution on the payment of the claims of the late
Royal Family.
The Austrian Observii oP the sth instant contains the
project of the Brazilian Constitution, presented to the
Regent Don Penni), and says,—,4 It was generally
supposed the Regent would refuse his assent to this
project, on account of the anti-monarchical tendency of
the principal articles (such as the refusal of the abso-
lute Veto, the indirect nomination of the Chamber of
Senators brthe Representatives, der.) Contrary to all
expectation, he has returned it to the Assembly without
any observations, tp be taken into consideration; it is,
however, supposed that it will undergo considerable
modifications.

______. .....
The King of the NETHERLANDS has presented a re-
solution, imposing certain prohibitions and restrictions
on the importation of some articles of French produce
and manufactures, to the States-General, in the form of
a project of law.
The Commission of Inquiry at hlayence has received
directions to perform another task. It has been ordered
to collect information respecting all kinds' of journals
and periodical publications which are printed in any
pert of the States' ot the German Confederation, and, to
make, as soon as possible, a rcport to the German Diet.
We understand that the Commission for liquidating
the claims of British subjects on the Spanish Govern-
ment is likely soon to be in an efficient state. It will be
recollected, that at the period the order for cqmmencing
its sittings was given, intelligence arrived of the fall. of
Cadiz, and of FIRDINAND's resumption of his former
authority. The Commissioners who were to act on be-
half of Spain, and who had been appointed *by the
Cortes, refused, therefore. to act, and all proceedings
under the Commission were consequently suspended, till
the disposition of the Royal Government could be as-
certained, and new instructions received from Madrid.
'lt now appears that the Leo, after some deßberition,
has consented to nominate new Commissioners, who are
on their way to this country, with full powers to decide
on the claims in question.
A private letter from Madtid mentions. that a fatal
duel had taken place there, in what may be caged high
life. It would seem that a great intimacy exists between
the Marquis de Qui •Ittnia,' tile Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and M. HRREDIA. the Minister of ' Grace and
Justice; which intimacy, in fact, led to the circumstance
of their both coming into office together, and it was in
contemplation to cement it by a family alliance. Young
CASA Immo, a youth of about 22 years of age, and,
we believe, the only issue the Marquis' has by his
present marriage, had .for some time been paying his
addresses to Miss HILIRDIA, and it was intended that he
should shortly lead her to the Hymeneal Altar. Ai
few days before the letter above alluded lo wasierittepi
a serious dispute had; however, taken place beiweeri
young CASA IRMO and a French 06ter, and a doel
ensuing, the former received a moyttl wound. • Thit
unhappy circumstance' bad filled tbei;MireqUis .with
great anguish, and rather tended to 'bring the French
into disfavour. The precise origin of the dispute is not
mentioned, although it is hinted-dust it was more poll-
.
tical than amorous. ' ,
MR. Weaark—The Thursday prim to the day when
the trial was expected to take plaCe, ass olive-coloured
outside "coat, belonging to the murdered man, was,
through the vigilant activity of the . Magistracy, disco. i
vered near the scene of slaughter, concealed beneath the i
underwood of a large tree, the seams rippedin every
direction, doubtless in the lope of discovering notes;
this coat the unfortunate Gentleman was seen by his
laundress to wear on • the day he set off for the fatal
journey, and is now in the Magistrates' possession. A
singular circumstance, also not generally known, is, that ,
on the Tuesday previous he was seen tn. count in his
chambers several Bank notes, not an unusual practice,
and among them several. for £lOO each ; and that on
the examination of his chambers by his brothers, subse-
quent to his death, the utmost amount of monies and I
securities found did not amount to more than.LSO, and
that in a drawer unlocked. These facts-we can vouch for.
Tuesday forenoon a very serious accident occurred at,
the weaving factory at Dalmarnock,.near Glasgow. A
young woman, while in the act of combing her hair,
had the end of it caught by a shaft turning fUriously
round; the whole head was instantaneously uncovered,,
and the skin and hairy scalp turned round.with the ma-
chinery; the skin covering the brow, eyelids, and cheek,
bones, was alsO torn off; the poor girl screamed, and
Mr. JOHN M,Aavnua, tenter master, who was in the
flat below, with the greatest presence of mind, instead
of running to see what was the cause of the outcry, in-
stantly stopped the engine. The poor . girl, however,
was never off her feet. Mr. Jausaa-Sutru„ surgeon in
Bridgeton, was instantly sent for; in the meantime
Mr. Ihr Animus put the scalp aukcovering of the upper part of the
face into a drawer. On the arrival of the surgeon, about twenty
minutes after the accident, Mr. Star: replaced the scalp grid the
other torn porticos, and dressed the head. 'Mc greatest attendee
was paid to the unfortunate sufferer, Mid she wassubeeteently sent
to the Royal Infirmary . On Wednesday night she was calm, and
perhaps much better than might have bees expletild ; the head has
not been undressed yet ; het the edges of the wooled es the face,
ears, cye. and neck, have become serenest slightly, and lidlemed ;
