Aspersions answered : an Explanatory Statement, ad-1
dressed to the Public at large, and to every Reader of
the Quarterly &view in pa) tieutar. By WILLLot
1101%7z. 8v o. pp. 68.
This pamphlet displays -consi !erable abilities, and,
considering the subject, a very fair:portion of modera-
tion. The principal aim of the author. is " A Itefuta-
tion of the gni, telly Review of the Apocryphal New
Testament," though lie also offers a few remarks upon
the sti ictures of the ltev. Dr. Butler, A7chdeacon of
Deiby, and the 'ley. *nooras Rector of Ken-
sington ; but they are," lie says, in coracction
their misconceptions, not in violation of their feelings,"
for he would " by no means class these Gentlemen with
the Quarterly Reviewer." With the latter lie has been
less ceremonious ; but still- he adheres to his subject,
and in rebutting the shafts of his assailant, conttives to
preserve.a full command over himself.
• SAYINGS AND DOINGS.
The Series of Sketches; or Tales, under the title of
T; SAYINGS AND DOINGS," which are on the eve of ap-
pearing, and are understood to be written by a Gentle-
man of considerable noun iety in the political as well
literary world, may be considered as the first of a
species of fiction hitherto new to this country, but which
promises to become extremely popular. The author
thus developes his plan in his Pic:lace: .
" The Freneh have, time out of mind, written short dramatic
pieces, in which they have ithistr.tted or exemplified the truth of old
sayings; and, as everybody knows, the dramatic pieces so written
have themselves been called Proverbs.'
Whonever these ' Proverbs' have been translated or adapted
to our stage, so much does it take to satisfy an English audience,
that three or four of them have been generany combined to make
up one farce; and consequently, the action only has been preserved
without regard to the orizinal point which the authors had iu view,
when they framed them:
" I meatless this because T am not aware that any dramatic il-
lustration of a single proverb, has with trial ratio, been given to the
English Public. It is, however, front these dramas that I first
caught the idea of noting down what I saw passing in society, in
order to judge, by the events of real life, the truth or fallacy of
those axioms which have been handed down to us with a character
for usefulness and dignity' as conducive to the understanding of
philosophy, of which they are the very rem tins.
" I have for many years watched the world, and have iiet down
.all that I have seta ; and out of this collection of materials, I have
thrown together a few historic illustrations of quaint sayings, the
truth and sagacity of which, the characters introduced by me have
unconsciously exemplified in their lives and conduct ; and which I
have the small merit of bringing to bear, after long observation,
upon the axioms affixed to each tale.
" In short, I have thought i: a curious matter of speculation to
compare the norms of the modems, with the SAYINGS of the
ancients; and therefore submit to the Public my first portion of
saws' illustrated by 'modern instances.'"

CUBE ROOT.
(FROM TUL
I 1 jour last N,umber, page 380, J. T. inquires after
an easy and expeditious method of extracting the cube
rcot. I beg leave to refer him to the common tables of
logarithms; nothing can be desired more easy and ex-
peditious than the method of logarithms, which situ-
plify all the operations ef arithmetic one degree, viz.
Multiplication is reduced to an act of addition.
Diviiion - - subtraction.
liaising powers . - - multiplication.
Extracting roots . - division, &c.
Thus, to obtain the cube root of any number, it is only
necessary to divi.le the logarithm of the number by ;;;
the quotient will be the logarithm of the root. Thus,
required the cube root of 287500, the logarithm of
uhich is 5.4,5361, one-third of which is 1 81934 = log.
of 66, the root sufficiently near for practical purposes.
Again, required the cube root of 3, the log. being
47712, one-third of which = 15901, answering to the
number 1442, &c. 13. BEVAN.

The Parish Officers of St. Mary-le-Strand have
changed the name of Swan-yard to New Church-court,
that all recollections of the notorious bad-state of that
pla:e, as. well as the characters who inhabited it, may
be obliterate., h om the public mind ; the principal part
of the old houses having been pulled down, and respect-
aille houses erected in their room, and the general ap-
p.arance of the place entirely changed.

CORONER'S imatlesr.—Yesterday stn Inquisition was
taken in the Committee-room of the Middlesex Hospi-
, before Thomas STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, on the body
of Mrs.-Elizabeth Kendal, an aged Lady, who was burnt
to death at her residence in Exeter-street, Strand, on
Saturday night last, from her gown catching the flame
while she was poking the rue. Before assistance arrived
she eras nearly burned 'to death. The Jury returned a
verdict—Accidental Death.
Saturday se'nnight, a creditable householder of the
parish of Nutshaling, near Southampton, of the name
of Clarke, was summoned before the Magiarates of
Romsey, and fined fire pounds, for the crime of setting
a gin in his own garden, to protect his vegetables from
the depredations of rabbits, hares, or other vermin.
CAUTION TO PERSONS KEEPING CART.S.—Within the

LIANIS, Esq. of Kentish Town, the Mazi.arates,' under
the Turnpike Act, passed in the fourth year of the pre-
sent King, cap. 93, section 15. It is there stated, That
. from and after the ht day of October, in the year of
o:.r Lord, 1823, it shall not be lawful for any person to
keep or use any cart, van, or other vehicle, without his,
her, or their name and address being painted in legible
letters, at least an inch in length, on the off-side or shaft
of the said cart or other vehicle; and it is further enacted,
that the said name and address shall be painted in a
straight line or lines, and not in any other shape or
fords ; and all persons not conforming to the stipulations
contained therein, upon information being exhibited be-
fore any Magistrate, shall forfeit and pay any sum not
exceeding 40s. nor less than 10s.”—The defendants we, e
charged with having their names and address painted
on their carts in an•oval shape, and not in straight lines,
as required by the Act, and one and all were fined in
various sums) unties forty shillings.

HIGH COURT OP ADMIRAZTV,
.PE13:13.
Tux 804: PITT, FORMIRLY MAIM&
This was a Cause of possession, in whit! the above
vessel had been arrested. by Admiralty process while
lying in the port of Liverpooli and the. Learned and
Noble Judge (Lord SrowzLL) delivered his judgment
nearly as follows :
This is a case in which it is prayed of the Court to
transfer the possession from the present possessor and
owner (as he describes himself) to other persons who
we; e the former owners of her (which is not denied),
and who charge the ship to have been unlawfully trans-
ferred to the present possessor by a course of trans-
actions entirely fraudulent, and incapable of conveying
a jut title. The ship, an old ship originally belonging
to Messrs. Lowe, Ayles, and West, merchants of Lon-
don, the present claimants, very much worn, both by
time and tempest, was chartered by them about the
month of Apia, 1820, to carry a cargo of merchandise
(comprising wine to be taken in at the Island of Madeira)
to the West Indies, and not to stay there beyond a ces-
tain time limited for her return to London. She sailed
to Madeira, thence to Nevis, where she delivered part of
her cargo, and thence to St. Kitts, in her passage to
which latter place she sustained damage in a storm
which detained her there a long while to receive re.
pairs. The cargo was taken out, and the ship was sold
by the Master without any authority (as is alleged)
from thee registered owners, to the present possessor,
Mr. Woodhurne, for 5001. She was afterwards carried
to a port iu A merica, received some slight repairs tifitre,l
and traded subsequently between America and the
West Indies. She has since arrived at Liverpool, and'
has been there aire:ted by process of this Court at,
the suit .of the London merchants. The case then
is, in reality, an inquiry into the title of the pre-
sent asset-ted proprietor to hold the ship. And
the first (I had almost said the only) question is, bow
far this Court is authorised to make this inquiry, and
provided with due powers to make it with effect?
certain it is, that this Court is in the habit of
transferring possession fions the actual holder, some-
times by its own movement, sometimes at the instance
of other Courts which have no direct power for that'
purpose; but it considers itself, and is bound to consider'
itself, as moving within very narrow limits, if it pro-
ceeds at all originally upon a question of title. It cer-
tainly cannot execute the function of a transfer, in any
case, without looking a little into the title of the party
who claims the transfer. It must be satisfied that he
is potiorjare. But then it mast be in cases very simple
that it acts upon a merely preferable title determinable
by its own judgment. Where the possession is gained
by force and violence,,or by a fraud visible upon the
very face of the transaction ; or where the party in pos-
session is avowedly entitled only as a minor owner in
opposition to the majority of interests, there the Court,
'it seems, will feel no hesitation; but where a course of
transactions involving hand is objected, the Court de-.
clines entering into the question; and leaves it to be de-
termined by the inquiry of Courts which have ampler
means of reaching the real truth and the real justice of
the case, for there may be circumstances in irrequiring
the application of equitable principles'which this Court.
cannot administer. Therefore I lay down this as the'
rule for the conduct of this Court, that in simple cases
which almost speak for themselves, it can proceed with
effect ; but in those which, being complex, require it
long and minute investigation, it cannot proceed with
due regai if to its own honour and to the justice due to the
parties. To which of these classes does the present case be-
long ? I have no hesitation in saying, to 'the latter
class."—Here is a series of transactions charged on the
one side to be fraudulent, and on the other denied to
have the slightest intermixture of fraud in them.- Many
documents are produced, and some are not forth.
coming which ought to have been produced. It is not,
I think, for this Court to proceed to the length of a'
judicial determination ; but if I could be properly
called upon tor an opinion private and extrajudicial, I
should say confidently that I see nothing that impeaches
the bona fide title of the purchaser. I think that there
was ample authority given to the Captain to sell, both
by the necessary parties and by the real state in which
the property was placed; that in the conduct. of the
sale all due caution was used, and all due attention
shewu to the interests of the former owners; that the
authority given previously to the sale was fully con-
firmed by recognitions and approvals afterwards. This
is my genet al view of the case: it would be improper
for me to enter further into it by particular reference to
.the passages in the evidence which. have impressed that
conviction upon my mind. Another Court may, on
further evidence, feel that such a determination would
be incorrect; but I think it, impassible that it should
not admit that at many degrees below this conviction,
it was proper for me to hold my hand and to desist from
u het ior measures.

STABBING.—Friday a journeyman painter, named El;
phinstone, had a quarrel with his mother-in-law, who
is a small broker in Libberton's Wynd., in the course of
which he struck her with an open knife in the side. The
wound inflicted is alarming, and Elphinstone was taken
into custody, while the woman was carried to the
Royal Infirmary. _ •
Hunt has been double-ironed. at WoolvAch since the
Sunday before last. Upon'that day, when he and the.
other convicts were in the chapel of the vessel where be
has been confined, there was some little delay on the
part of the clergyman. Hunt began to hum a tune,
and some of his brethren called out to him for the song
which he had sung for Mrs. Probert immediately after
the murder. Without hesitation, he began to sing the
first part of the duet of " All's Well," and was vehe-
mently applauded by his depraved companions. The
Superintendant, however, upon hearing of the circum-
stance, ordered Hunt to be double-ircned, and iu -that
condition he now remains.

At a Police Court in Perth, held towards the end of
last week, Angus Mgr:lush, a regular customer, and who
(being an out-pensioner of Chelsea Hospital) has some-
times threatened the Magistrates with a complaint to
the " Teuk o' York," for occasional restraints imposed
by them on his liberty, was again arraigned on a charge
of stealing gill and half•mutchkin stoups. Angus had
melted them in a frying-pan, and owing to this decom-
position, the owners could not recognise their property.
The Superintendent withdrew the case for want of proof,
quaintly observing that it was " a hard fry."
An olc; man and woman of Potton, in Bedfordshire,
werelately raised from indigent to effluent circumstances
by the decease of an uncle, whereby each has become
possessed of between three and four thousand pounds.
The former bad obtained his maintenance for upwards
of thirty years by sweeping the church path at that place,
and the latter by selling apples.

OLD. 134ILErSEStIQNS, FED. 21,.

Ratoeri Swett, a respectable-looking man, about 40,
was indicted for feloniously receiving seven garden-pots
and plants, the property of his Majesty, well knowing
the same to have heel'. stolen by same evil-disposed per-
son or persons. There was a second count in the indict-
anent, in" which the property was laid as belonging to
Mr. Alton, the King's head gardener, at Kew. It was
stated in evidence, that the plants in question, rare
exotics, having been missed from, the Botanic Garden
at Kew, were discovered to have been sent, in a deal
box, by a man named Hogan, who worked in the gar-
den, and afterwards absconded, to a coacb-office at
Brentford, directed " Mr. Hubert Sweet, Mr. Colville's
nursery, King's-road, Chelsea." They were forwarded
accordingly, and taken in by Mr. Sweet, Mr. Colville's
principal manager, who paid is. Bd. the charge for
carriage, to the person bringing the box. In consei
quence of information received at Bow-street, Ruthven
the oaicer was dispatched with a person named Smith,
an assistant gardener at Kew, toSweet's house, and there
asked him -what he had done with the box which he had
received that morning from Kew or Bientford? Sweet
at first hesitated a little; but his atteation being more
'particularly called to the box in question by Ruthven,
he took him sand Smith to Mr. Colville's nursery, for the
purpose of shewing where the plants were. Upon'
seeing Mr. Colville, Ruthven repeated his question to
Sweet in the presence of Colville, who immediately said,
" You (meaning Sweet) know nothing of it; I know
nothir,g of it." Ruthven, however, said be nould •not"
be trifled with, and proceeded, with Smith and Sweet,
to the hothouses, to search for the plants, Colville having
'first said to Sweet, "You know nothing of them—
What are you at?" In a little time Smith recoAnized
•five of the plants, amongst those of Colville's, in dif-
frrent pots from those in which they had been at Kew.
Ituthven then asked Sweet for the direction n hich had
tome upon the box. Sweet at first denied having it,
'but when about to be searched he produced it. He was'
-taken to Bow-street, but. in consequence of the non-at-
tendance of the witnesses, he was discharged. He was
again taken before the Magistrates on the following Sa-!
turday, and upon examination, committed for trial.
Mr. Justice BEST observed, that it was somewhat ex-
traordinary that .Mr. Colville was not before him also,l
'to answer for his share in the transaction. '
• Sweet put in an extremely well-written defence, sea-
;toning upon the improbability of his committing a fe-
lony without any assignable motive; he having 'no in-
terest whatever in the sale of the plants in Mr. ColH
vine's nursery, where the plants in question had, been •
exhibited to view. He called several witnesses, who
,swore, amongst other things, that botanists were in the)
constant habit of receiving plants for experimental and
-other purpOses, without any intimation accompanying
them as to the parties who had sent them. They all
gave him the best possible character for integrity; and
E one of them, an eminent botanist, named Anderson
stated, that Mr. Sweet was reported to be the first prac.;
tical botanist in Europe. One of the Jurors had Smith
put into the box a second time, and asked him if Mr 4
Sweet had not published some works on botany ?
Smith said he had.

Juror.—And is not Mr. Minn also an author?—Witness. He Is.
J•iror.—ls Mr. Ayton here to-day 7—Witness. I believe not.
Juror.—ifas not Mr. Sweet severely criticised a work of Mr.
Ayton's?—Witness. Ido not know. I have seen a recent publi-
cation in which Mr. Ayton is called a dunce.
Juror.—What publication is that?—Witness. " The Botanic
Register."
.41n Justice Bzsr.—Who is the Editoi of that ?—Witness. I
do not know.
Juror.-..D0 you not believe that this box was sent to Mr.
Sweet to entrap him for this prosecution?—Witness. I have no
reason to think so.

•
It was afterwards stated by Mr. Ridgway, of Piccadilly, that
Sweet was not the Editor of the " Botanic Register."
The Jury, after having retired for a couple of hours,
returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
-
FEBRUARY 2.s.—.Mary Robinson was indicted for
stealing a 201. and a 10/. bank note, the property of a
person named Chisholm. The prosecutor, when in a
state of intoxication, took the prisoner to a certain house
in St. Giles's, on the 13th.ofJannary. His pocket-book
was found in the room after he had gone away, minus
the notes. On the following day, the pripner went into
a shop and asked for change of a 101. note, tendering
at the same time a 201. note, which was refused, in
consequence of the suspicion the circumstance excited.
She then procured a little boy to pass for her son, and
taking him to a sale-shop in the Minories, she purChased
a suit of clothes for him, in payment for . which she
gave the 201. note, and received the difference. This
note was proved to have been oae of those lost by the
prosecutor. Verdict Guilty.
John Warden was indicted for embezzling 21.25. the
property of Robert W. Elliston. It appeared that the
prisoner was in Mr. Elliston's employment, as a private
box-keeper, at Drury-lane Theatre; and on the 4th of
February he accommodated a party with a private box,
for which he received two guineas, without accounting
for the money afterwards to his employer. It turned
out, however, chit the box in question belonged on alten!
nate weeks to the Duke of Gloucester and Mr. Elliston;
and that this transaction took place during one of the
weelcs on which Mr. Elliston had no interest in the box.
The indictment failed, and the prisoner was Ailuitted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

A full-grown young tailor was brought before Mr. Haus on
Tuesday,• by a serpent of' the Grenadier Guards. It appeared that
this young tailor was complaining in a public-house that he was out
of employ, and did not know what to do with himself. " Then go
for a soldier," said a private in-the Guards, who happened to be
present—" Go for a soldier, my man, you can't do better for your-
self—will you take a shillksg in the King's name ?" " I don't care
if I do," replied the tailor; whereupon the soldier threw a shilling
upon the table before him, the tailor took it up, and put it in his
pocket, and the soldier wished bins joy of his enlistment. The tailor
became alarmed—that villainous gunpowder flashed upon his imagi-
nation, and he insisted upon having nothing at aU todo with soldier-
ing. The soldier laughed at his alarm, told him it came too late,
and carried him before his commanding officer. The commanding
officer having heard both sides, told the magnanimous tailor that
be did not wish to force him to be a soldier against his wills and
if he would tell his story before a Magistrate, and tjse . Magistfate
should be of opinion that be had not been fairly enlisted, he might
return the shilling, and remain a tailor as long as he pleased. The
tailor agreed to this, but in a minute or two after he took Preach
leave and bolted. The commanding officer then directed the serjeatit
and others to take him again, when they could, and carry him be-
fore a Magistrate; and it was in putsuatice of these orders that be
now appeared.
The tailor assured his Worship, upon his homer, that he had no..
more idea of going- for a soldier than he had of jumping over the
moon. '4 I wouldn't go for a soldier, your Worship," said he," no,
not if they'd give me a hundred gifineas!"
." That is likely enough," replied the Magistrate, "but why did
you take the shilling ?—you must be ignorant indeecrnot to know
what was meant by it.
Why, I wanted them. to have it "'alp, your Worship, and they
wouldn't," said he, and tbey'ritay Flee it now, if they like."
The Magistrate ;kid bids 'the day of grace was past, and it was
now too late.

" Then, said the tailor. " I must pay the smart .1"

" Do, so," rejoined his Wortlaip, and consfil-e it-2* a twan!y
shilling caution against trifling with soldiers again."
The poor tailor then paid the twenty-shilling !OWL Maley, 2,d

A Metaucnocv Cafe or DlsTaan.---TOOSCIay, a PeOpetiftble
looking man applied to the sitting Alagirrate (Serjeant Sat.Los)f,„.
, his advice and assistance in a case of peculiar distress. He stated
that a Gentleman and his family came to lodge in his house :dam
five or six months ago, of who'e respectability he had the fullest
stunner, as he knew him to be connected with the Public Press,
and to move in a *respectable sphere of life. Since that period his
health has gradually declined, and he Is now in a consrmed at:4
rapid consumption. Unable to pursue his literary occupations, 1.,
was destitute of every means of support; and, after having diapmt.d
of nearly every article of furniture, be now lay on a bare sofa, wil'a
his wretched wife stretched on a pallet, after a dangerou; pew,.
tore accuttchernent, produce() by her intense affliction. An old
meatie still adheres to them, though she can administer nothing
their contilrt but her sympathy, being entirely dependent for m-
own subsistence upon the charity of some neighbours. The tido--
tunate Gentleman retaining an over-delicacy of feeling, and cat.
ceiving that he is in a state of recovery (a fatal mistake, cosunton
persons in consumption) be cannot kr induced to make a politic
ye:Use/nein of his name and case; and beim a native of Ireland,
and not having obtained a local settlement., he Is not entitled to any
parochial relief.
Serjeant Smolt, on bearing the case, expressed pis deepett
pathy ; and several Gentlemen present, on hearing the name, fully
corroborated the statement of the landlord, as to tine flentlemati's
general respectability.
The worthy Serjeant observed, that he slln'tild feel most happy is
lending his assistance to any plan of relief which might be suggested.
• Mr. Mallet, the Chief Clerk, observed, drat as he was save that

he expressed a hope that the name might be suppresses!

Isn If almnek was brought up for further examination on a ehlrge

rain goods for him, not being evidence.
