COLLECTANEA.

CAPTAIN BYNO AND LADY AONEL—In the Capri of
yang's Bends, Dublin, the action for defaming these distinguished
parties came on Monday last. It was a preliminary debate for
choosing the venue from the City of Dublin to the City of Cork;
sad after a long and uninteresting discussion between the Counsel
on both sides. the Court ruled in f of the defendant. Gerard
callagan, with costs. The venue is laid in the county of Cork.
CROWN PROPERTY.—Mr. 1). W. Harvey has ad•
dressed a letter to Lord Viscount Lowther. as Chairman of the
Board of Commissioners of his Majesty's Woods and Forests. in
which he undertakes to prove that much of the Crown property
M estimated is many cases greatly, and in all considerably, below
the real value. He says—" As your Lordship is apprised of the
notice I have given to bring the whole subject of the land revenue
before Parliament early in the nest Sessioo, with a view to its most
productive appropriation, you will. I think, concur with me in the
loospediency of at present dealing with any of the property referred
to. I have forborne to specify any part of the valuable property
situated at the west end of the town, of which many Noble Lordsand
Members of Parliament are lessees, as I am convinced your Lord.
Alp will sensibly feel the impropriety of private arrangements,
which can be suspected to have bad other Inducements than public
toodderatiests." Mr. Harvey concludes by saying-0 As my pur-
pose in this communication is to promote the all.impottant object
of economical reform, I shall, of course, madder myself at liberty
to make such use of it, through the medium of the Press or in Par-
liament, as *nay tend, in my opinion, to advance that design."
The number rut persons enrolled in the Commission
of the Peace An England is 17,1102 ; in Wales, 2,130; making a
total of 12,932. Uf those, 5,014 are returned as acting Magistrates.
Mr. RICHARDSON, one rat the new Sheriffs, is a Gul-
den= of large property, In M ' ary.la-bonne acquired by the
laudable industry of his father and himself. The other Sheriff,
Mr. WARD, is a considerable ship owner.
It h said that Lord Melville and the Basra of Admi-
ralty will go to Plymouth, on an eMcial visit, on the Islst instant.
Captain Richard Dickins..n, C.B. late Commander
of the Genoa, at Navarin, is gone to Portsmouth, to be tried by a
Court Martial, relative to his conduct in that action. _

The preventive boat belonging so Cawsand captured
a boat with 103 kegs of run goods. and manned by three men and
a boy, on Saturday last.
BARNSTATLI.— The wandering Minstrel was at
Barnstaple on Tuesday. He received invitations to dime with
some of the respectable inhabitants. His residence was at the
Castle Inn, and bib receipts on that day was W. is. He proceeds
to Ilfracombe from this town, and will crag to Swansea, to pursue
his wanderings in Wales.
It is supposed that both the Chief Justices will be
under the necessity of leaving a heavy paper of on leaving
town for their respective circuits.
It is said that the practice recently introduced by]
certain legal characters, of laying aside the judicial costume, has
been noticed with marked disapprobation in a high quarter.
Mr Peel has appointed Lieuienant.Colonel Rowan.
and Mr. Mayne, a Barrister on the Northern Circuit, to the two
of which have been recently constituted by the Metropolitan
Police Act, for the organisation and superintendence of the new
system of Police. Mr. Wray has been appointed Receiver under
the Act.

Algebra is the moat refined species of logic ; an ex-
pert algebraist cannot fail to be an acute reasoner. ant ooly in the
affairs of common life, but in all pursuits of literature and philo-
sophy. Hence it is one of the most important studies, at *ace
useful and elegant, which can be pursued during the period of
education.—DorSy's Students Agske.
The Rev. EDWARD laving lately stated from his
pulpit, that the sum of 43,000 was actually 'subscribed foe the esta-
blishment of a place of Divine Worship in the Gaelic language is
London, and which sum has for years remained idle and unappro•
priated; adding, in his nano peculiar manner, " if 1 were King of
the country, I would never rest till divine service was performed in
the metropolis in all theianguages of the island." Is this respect,
Mr. bums appeal has proved as powerful and elective as if be
really Issued his mandate as " King of the country." The interest
of about 41000—the sum spoken of by the reverend orator—is
now to be applied to the purpose of paying a Gaelic Clergyman,
wile is forthwith to expound- the mysteries of the hidden revels-
does, and otherwise to enlighten the Celterniding in Loaders, in
their own emphatic language.
By the result of the commitments to the last Old
Bailey Sessions, we are bound to conclude that there are several
convictions on very slender grounds. This Is on less disgraceful
to the Magistrates who coavict, than it must be distressing to the
wretched people who bring themselves within the pale of the po-
lice offices. Even of the Bow-street offenders. only eight were
found guilty of fwenty.thres who were, coodeted,—proving tbittlse
