A most Singular instance Of Lite,
rary fraud has lately occurred in
England. A bookseller, Ofthe name
OF Johnson, had commenced the
publication OF a number OF poems, as
being works Of lord Byron. among
which we're" Childe Harold's Pill
grinage 10 the Holy Land-The
Tenpest-The Farewell 10 England
--Ode TO 81. Helena Ode TO my
daushter-The~1 lily of France" OPP
on the fact being discovered, Lerd
Byron being out OF the kingdom, ap-
piicstiou was made to the Lord
Chancellor for an injunction against
the further publication. on the ground
that Lord Byron was not the author
Of them, but that they were spurious.
After nsliee given, hearing was
bad. and his Lordship deereed the
injunction, thereby deciding the fact,
that the publication was an imPosi'
ton on the public. the poems having
not been written by Lord Is, ron.
We are induced TO notice this sub
ieet, from seeing poems, with 81
miiar titles TO some of those above
mentioned, advertised in this coun'
Try as having been re- published. and
aseribed TO Lord Byron. If the,
are the same, the fact ought to b.
Known, tia, the public, and especial
y the readers Of poetry, may not bt

The pubic attention has been excited by an
advertisement of the Marshal of ihs district.
TO cause great political interest, pending in
the District Court OF the United States, now
sitting in this town
The Spanish brig pGStora, with very va
iuahle cargo, was recently brought into the
port of New Bedford, as prize to "A private
armed schooner sailing under the Patriot ila-
OF EuenoS Ayres. She has bocu arrested hv
process OF that court, on the libel OF Don JUAN
STouGuToN, Consul of Ferdinand VII. who
claims restitution bv provision OF the treaty
between the United States and Spain, as also
because tine governments in Sonth America
have never by any nation been acknowledged
independent.
This ease, whichmay have important bear
ING on the relations of the United States with
fine ancient Monarchy and the new Republic;
and which involves principles OF the first con-
sequence ~ national aud municipal law, has
been discussed in that court by WILLIAM SUI
LNAN, ESQ. for tine Spanish Consul, and by
JAMES L. AUSTIN, Esq. for the prize-master,
and Is reserved for further argument bv th.
same gent lemen, after the introduction ofaddi-
tiOnal evidence.

OF the case, but we are promised a report of
the trial and opinion of the court when the

IN incident occurred during Mr.. OGrL,IE's
exhibited a striking evidence of the admirable
mora! discipline that has been established in
our college, and of the fiexibility of the minds
OF me students to convictionso of propriety.
Mr. O'S, first Grafton was followed by a loud
and protracted plaudit in the usual mode
Soon after the plaudit ceased, Mr.. o. rose, and

propriety and ms ableness ofthe mode oftes-
titylng applause by cappiug. He concluding
byproposlng that auditors who wished to testify
appreciation and apDlauSe. Shouid rise i'm tbeit-
places and bow to the orator.
After every subsequent exertion of Mr.. Os
powers, the students unanimously forborc to
clap, ana rising deliberately and in mass from
their seats, bowed respectfully to the orator.
We have no doubt that this more dirnified.
decorous and discriminating mode of testifyins
appreciation and applause is established in
Harvard; nor is this, las it may he regarded
