STONZHZI4OI.—This ancient pile forms the subject
of the Newdigate Prize Poem this year, at Oxford.
Stonehenge was erected, according to Rapist, in the
year 473, by Ambrosias Aureliaous, in memory of
the 300 Britons who were massacred on the Ist of
'May, by Hengist, the Saxon. It has been justly won-
dered, says Mons. Rapin, " how stones of 20 or SO
tons could be raised so high as they are. It will not
be amiss to give Mr. Rowland's hypothesis in his
6 Mona Antiqua.'*Small mounds were thrown up
with sloping sides, and level at the top. Up these
sides, with great levers and putties, by little and little,
they rolled and heaved up the stones they designed
to-erect; then laying •them along bn the top of the
hillock, they dug holes in the earth at the end of the
stones, as deep as the stones were long, into which
they let them slip straight on ends, with their tops
level with the tops of the mount, then placing other
stones upon these, and taking away the earth almost
to the bottom of the supporters, there appeared what
we call Stonehenge, Itollrich, or Cromleci'
Tnz YOUNG Costmovoaz.—lt will be recollected
by those who were conversant with the details of the
Royal visits to Ireland and Scotland, that amidst the
humble: of his Majesty's subjects who paid him the
homage of their loyalty. and respect, was an indivi-
dual named O'Brian, who, being a cripple, sailed
from the south coastin a cutter of his own construct-
ing, not more than four feet in length, and in which
he encountered rather a stormy passage in coasting
along Dublin bay. "He got safely alongside the
Royal yacht, and his Majesty, pleased with the novel
effort of the dwarfish and adventurous sailor, ordered
ten sovereigns and a plentiful supply of provisions to
be presented; in the act of delivering which, a kg
of mutton; carelessly put on board,- nearlr upset the
Lilliputian man-of-war." The sailers immediately
gave him the title of Commodore, which he has since
maintained. On the following year, hearing of the
King's visit to Scotland, he went to Leith to repeat
his demonstrations of loyalty to his Majesty. He was
recognised, kindly treated, and the Commodore's sea
stock was so profusely stowed, that after setting sail
with the fleet, a gale of whisk carried away his hat,
in the attempt to regain which, the cutter upset and
sunk, and he was with difficulty saved. " The dis-
aster," say the details of the day, " happened in a
depth of water which precluded all hopes of weigh-
ing the ponderous wreck," and only one of the guns
was saved! The Commodore's loss was, however,
soon retrieved by the generosity of his Majesty, who
immediately ordered another cutter to be built for
him, at the naval arsenal, Leith, about five feet in
length, which the Commodore riggesl with his own
hands. 66 He hip, since performed, says an Irish
Paper' " such naval exploits, as neither the far-
famed Drake, nor the illustrious Nelion, could have
imitated, or even imagined," to the delight of nume-
rous spectators in the sister kingdom, idol in the Isle
of Man, who have, of cotime, been liberal to the
gallaai Commodore. He has now arrived it Liver,
'pooh,and, we doubt not, will meet with that see-
wantial approbation to which his nautical shill so
well entitles hint.

himself otherwise than as " a Magistrate of three couneies,l'. It
was known, however, that one of them was an Irish Peer, Lord
Clenmorris: the other three were slid to be M. P.'s ; and they
were attended by Mr. Bellamy, of the House of Cnmmon., anti
a Bblieltor. Coder these circumstances, the Magistrate granted
them a private examination, from which every person except
those immediately concerned as witnesses were strictly excluded,
and even the witnesses against them Were only admitted one at
a dine. But we took some pains to inquire into the circum-
stances, and the following is the result Lordship and his
three fellow prisanene together with eight or ten oMergentlensele,
were coming along Cockspur street at four o'clock in the morn-
ing, and were amusing themselves with knocking at the doors
and ringing the bells at every house they passe:. The 7el,tebstan
on that beat requested them to desist, and go along peaceably.
He was answered with execrations against all Ch telly," and
threatened with a. good " milling" for his impertinent ofnclous-
ness. lie sprang hit rattle, and told them he would take them
to the watch-house.—". Orr ! we'll go to the watch•house our-
selves," exclaimed the gentlemen ; and seizing the watchman,
they dragged him towards a hackney-coach on the stand, into
which they thrust him ; as also another watchman, a little old
man, who by this time had come up. Several of them then got
into the coach, and begartiratieg the watchmen to keep them
quiet,•whilst two othess jumpeeLen eittloox and attempted to
drive off' with them. Other watchmen now came up, and a ge-
neral fight ensued, which ended in the capture of his Lordship
and the other three abovereeptichned e and the rest of the party
escaped by fairly running fee it, 1'146e-watch-house they con-
ducted themselves with great violetice, declaring themselves to
be persons of the first consequence, and threatening the Con-
stable of the night with their vengeaece if he dared to detain
them. They peremptorily refused to give their names. One of
them said—" I am a Magistrate of three Counties, Sir, and I
would have you take care what you are about." Another said,
" I am a Member of the House of Commous;" sethirel," I ant
a Peer of the realm ;" and the fourth seized a " poker" in his
defence. The Constalee, however, was not to be intimidated,
and after nearly an hours uproar, in which mat./ blows were
received by the watchmen, they were locked down below, three
of them having first given the nomnies de guerrc above stated.—
The private examination before the Magistrate lasted more than
an hour, and his Worship then left them to " settle" with the
watchmen as they could. Some of them, it was said, were
very anxious to settle with the watchmen in this manner, whilst
his Lordship, whose coat had suffered much it, the affray, was
for holding the "Cbarleys" at arms length, and letting them go
to the Sessions. if they dared. Nearly three quarters of an hour
more elapsed in the discussion of this point, but eventually the
peaceable party prevailed; the watchmen were propitiated with
three sovereigns, and then the " gentlemen" were suffered to de-
pare—Observer.

COURT OF CHANCERY, DUBLIN, MAY 3.

TURNER AND OTHERS V. NI4MALION.

Counsellor M'MAHON rose and addressed his Lord-
ship in a most audible voice, in the following terms:
" My Lord, I, Andrew M4Malion, barrister at law,
and LL.B. do with ineffable devotion, unfeigned gra-
titude, and indelible obligations for your Lordship's
condescension and merciful compassion towards my
unprecedented past and present sufferings, prostrate
my poor, humble, and worn-our person before your
exalted and most illustrious. Lordship, as the most
oppressed, injured, and persecuted victim of injustice,
that ever appeared in a Court of Justice.. For thirty-
five years past, my persecution hat, with acceeiated
force, rigour, and velocity, continued In relentless and
accumulated, virulence, above human power physi-
cally to endure or survive without the marvellous in-
terposition of PROVIDENCE in my, favour from on
high, and your Lordship's co-operation here below,
as if by predestinated visitation or acts of redemp-
tion. In return, for which I supplicate the ALMIGHTY
to prosper and perpetuate the valiant blood and race
of the brave Granby and Rutland progeny in Great
Britain, conwrired with the most illustrious House of
Ormond in Ireland. My Lord, I now pray a re-
hearing of my cause, that has been deserted and be-
trayed as usual."
Mr. DIXON, Counsel on the other side, stated that
Mr. &Mahon filed a bill in this cause in the Court
of Exchequer, iu Ireland, agitating the lunacy of Miss'
Manvillam, of Bast Sheen, Surrey, and Privy Garden,
London, to which there was no final conclusion—
/fere Mr. M..Manota interrupted MI% Dixon. and
observed that the lunacy of Miss Manvillam was now
the subject of a bill pending in his Lordship's .Court,
and that a sum of 15,0001. had been expended to pre-
vent the establishment of that lunacy under the first
petition of his (Counsellor M'Mahon's) wife, the next
akin of the deceased lunatic.
The CHANCELLOR inquired who was Mr. M'Ma-
hon's Counsel, and was informed Mr. Driscollwas his
leading Counsel.
Mr. MeMahon.—My Lord, I am without food and
raiment, or a place to shelter my head against the in-
clemency of the tempest, and famishing, though I
am entitled to a fortune of one hundred thousand
peuxds in this city and London.
Here Mr. Daiscotr. appeared, and stated, that the'
portion Mr. *Mahon wail entitled to in right of his
wife, Lady King, was admitted to be due and unpaid
since 1789; .in any event whatever, argumenti may
be offered against the final apportionment dam assets
Of the testator in question.
The Committon regretted that Mr. Nl,Mahon's
Counsel had not appeared for him on former occa-
sions, and stated that the cause should be heard on as
early a day as.possible. 1.
Mr. &VEIN And Mr. liISCHY appeared to oppose
Mr. Bl'Mahon's motion, but admitted that Mr. Dris-
coll was correct as to Mr. M‘Malion's right under his
wife's marriage settlement; but on the next hearing
they would argue the claim of Mr. M.Malion to his
wife's share of the houses.
Counsellor M'MAHON then addressed the Court as
follows:—" I thank your Lordship's great humanity
and refined feeliags, so quickly alive to the cries of
afflicted humanity, whose all is now before your
Lordship in two Bills, in this glorious Court, wherein
the decisions, whatever they may be, will send the
claimant to his grave with the joyous reflection, Ciat
it will be his Lordship's decision that will terminate
the painful and:unnatural struggle between injustice
and mercy."
