from the accounts thit often appear in the newspapers,
of the ingenious manner in which. names and charne-
-1 ters can be Varied, without any corresponding chapgr
of persons, when the object I; to lire by one person's
wits. The tradesman who pnvehases goosls in Cheap-
, side, is not only the gentleman of fortune who, receives
them in Bak..r-street, but also the wealth, merchant
of the Minories, who vouches, on his own Itnowled7e,
for the goodness of the parties, and fur the honour of
the whole transaction ! Beat up the empty coinfJog-
house, and you find the clever fellows decamped to
their west-end i•otablishment by the time the police
officers are on their traces here, lee droles have vanish-
ed again—they are now dry cautious men of business
on 'Change ! Exactly after this fashion did Black-
wood's Men set forth ; and on this example have they
consistently acted. Z has made his virulent and lying
attack on character and feeling ; and Mr. Wattle has
been of opinion that Z went too far; and Peter's Let-
ters have expressed the regrets and contrition of
Blackwood's Editors, for having betrayed into un-
guarded personalities—and have claimed indulgence
fur the eardrops of young and generous spirits ; and
all this has been listened to by the pahlic,—and we
have ourselves been willing to think that dis-
tinctions were to be made, and have hesitated
to attach the stigma of radical baseness to the
management of the work generally. There is no
longer, however, any doubt, that Z, and Wastle, and
Peter, and the contrite Editors, are often the self same
individual, and always of the same gang that Zis
the Editor, taking advantages of the foulest malevolence
and angriest passions of party; that Wastle is the
Editors, trimming off a little of the coarseness of this
piece of profligacy ; that Peter is the Editors, puffing
their own magazine in the style of the quack•doctor's
stage, and professing contrition while hitching fresh
offences! We understand that their pitiful subter-
fuge against the ignominy which every mind of com-
mon manliness most be inclined to attach to these
canary artifices, is to laugh them off as jokes---boaxes
on public credulity--pleasantries for the solace of Mr.
Blackwood---,sots to crack for the Dilettanti. Mr.
!lardy Vaux, in his interesting history, transmitted
from New South Wales, informs us that many a herrty
chuckle was heard amidst the "fondly" circle, of an
evening, as the tricks of the day were recounted :
pocket handkerchiefs were classed with puns, but a
watcts, or a diamond ring, was a genuine piece of
wit, and a counterfeited tale, by which the flare had
been dime, was sufficient to secure for a rascal the
unaffected admiration of the company."

EMIGRANT SR7TLIMENT AT THR CAPS
OP GOOD HOPI?.
We hare hare been favoured with the perusal of a letter
from one of the persons who left this city some time
since tinder our fellow-citisen, John Ingram, Esq.
The letter is dated from Clenwllliam, District of
Tubbogh, July MO, and gives a very flatterint ac.
count of the situation of the settlement. On the
passage cot, nothing could exceed the kind
.attention
paid by Mr. Ingram to his party—exclusive of the
usual ship allowance, they had cokee, sugar, and wine
afforded in abundance. The fitness of the party for
founding a colony may be guessed at, Dom. the fact
of their having three children loityiejsit the, voyage.
They arrived at Sitnon's Ray on theist of May, mid
there met some English ships with.nertitts
for Algoa Ray. They then procee&Yd to Sandiahs.
Bay in company with the Indian, where they lauded
on the 26th, and were conveyed in waggons to the
place which they now occupy. The situation is repro
sented as pleasant—l2o miles from Cape Town—throe
days ride to Boshant's land, and two months' journey
from Caffree land, where the Algoa settlers are. The
picture of society there, is conveyed in the follow-
ing terms by the letter-writer :—" The farmers Isere
are like kings ; they never work ; but spend their
time in sleeping, smocking, eating-and drinking of the
best. They are supplied with Hottentot slaves to do
the business of the firms, which are generally eightor
ten miles asunder ; the rallies only being capable, of
cultivation, the heights being covered every where
with stones, hashes, and a sort of fine sand." They
had not, at the time of writing, erected houses, but
were encamped under large teuts, and are well sup-
plied with bread, beef, and umeton of the best (po-
lity. We regret to add that matters do not appear in
so agreeable a light regarding some of the other
parties from this country.—(Cork Jfercerniile
Chronicle.)

Hat Seventh Anniversary of the above Institution
was held yesterday, in the Egyptian Ilan, Mansion-
House, which was crowded to recess by a most respect-
able assemblage of both sex,,.

At twelve o'clock, Sir Cl.st•Olea STEINCN HUNTILR.
Rant. took the Chair, in the temporary absence of the
Lord Mayor. •
The Rev. I). WILAON then proceeded to read the
Report, which was very voluminous. It appeared
from the statement ntade, that the funds of the
Society have experienced some depression. The Report
further stated the extensive progress of the Society,
and concluded by calling fur additional aid.

The Rev. Mr. WiLsox here read a letter from the
Right Hon. Lord Teignmouth, the President of the
Parent Society, expressing his regret at not being able
to attend the Meeting.

the most important interests of literature and society,
we certainly Atolld not have 1114'111ra it incumbent on
us to interfere at all with Mr. Blackwood's notorious
publication. We should, but for these, have left him,
undisturbed by any remarks of s.urs, to settle the Isqr
lance sheet of his magazine with this worthy Editor's
to set olf a second edition demanded, against a caning
received ;---an extra sale of a calutisniuos number,
against the sum paid to the calm tttt iated individual

series of rograteful and unjust personalities, levelled
at professaioas, clergymen, and benefactun p—a re-
spectable connexion against the forfeiture of respect-
ability in society.
" In an early nunsber of the London Magnin', we
alluded to the work in qsiestion, in a tone certainly
less serious and severe thaw star present language; yet
in that article we made it sulbeiently soanitest, as we
have reason to know is the consciousness of Black-
wood's Men, that what it has pleased themselves to
term (thus girl's, the word to certain credulous people,
who, on such subjects, can only speak is they are
prompted), their " foibles," their " youthful 'airmen.-

shaken oat of this flimsy disguise, and statist exposed
before the world as designing treacheries anal sordid
'cambia. We confess, indeed, that, when we wrote
the article referred to, we were not tom* allies;
finenced by the jugOing system of these ittalviatils.
We had read many able critical papers ha tb,de work,
iarticularly on poetical subjects,—And we really had
no conception,--or at least were most unwilling to
believe,—that a regolar plan of fraud had been con-
cocted, at the very outset of the magaslue: a plan to
excite interest in the public mind, and realise sweat to
the unworthy perpetrators, by a series of canning
iuspositious,—involving in their coarse the sarriain
of every feeling belonging to the writer of real prin-
ciple, the yiolatiuu of souse of the molt "tiered rules
of bons:waists. intercourse in society, the disagree-
ment and disgrace of literature, by renderitut it an
accomplice in low remorseless outrages on reparation,

mental parts of this plan, we now find, was borrowed

The Right 114 in. N. VANIPITTART (the Chancellor of
the Exchequer) moved the first resolution, that the
Report be printed and circulated. In doing which,
the lion. Headsman addressed the Meeting, expreseing
his gratification in addressing se numerous and respect-.
able a Meeting as the one now before him ; and in a
short speech, commented ou the great utility of inch
Meetings.
Mr. Sheriff WILLIAMS, in Neconaing the motion,
addressed the Meeting in an able speech. ThwUus-
pel, he observed, should be read by every person from
the King on the throne to the meanest individual in
' his kingdom. —{Applause.)---Thera was another grand

united in bringing all sects and all parties in the
purseit of one glorious cause.-.—(loud Applause.)--
He should take every opportunity of raising bit voice,
and giving his assista?iee in the furtherance of the

Lord UANDIER bad great pleasure in addressing the
Meeting; best be greatly regretted the fends or the
Institution bad fallen in amount from former years,
and he hoped every loyal subject would assist in sup-
port of the Society, for the attempts of the infidel
called forth greater exertion. He hoped all ranks
and ages would unite in this desirable object. He
would not detain them longer, but conclude by moving

Extract of a letter from St. Thomas's, dated Hills

" I hasten to communicate to you that information

firmed in the opiniod by the Commander, inane the best
