have published pamphlet, in regard to
the difficulties between Mayor Swinburne
and themselves, which is svery exlraordi-
nary document, all things considered. We
do not know who claims the paternity OF
this pr,cocious literary baniing; cne:ihing is
certain,i, is destined to live though all COM
ing ages, aud will be carefully and sacredly
preserved in The archives OF all The hisiori-
cal Societies Of the country. Centuries
henes il will be read with the most intense
delight, and VII be especially admired as a
specimen Of pure Anglo'Saxon English, in
the l9.h century there will probably be
a. great diversity Of opinion as to who was

past, "a TO which of tho dsputing cities is
justly entitled to having given birth 10 the
immortal Homer. In this pamphlet we
have noble specimen OF the most profound
erudition, the most astute legal acumen,
and the most lofty and brilliant Imagination.
Could its contents reach The spirit OF
the venerable Lindey Murray, in the bliss
ful realms Of the eternal world where it

Secretary OF the Newport Gas Lgh, Com
pany, or TO brother Joseph Anthony, the
distinguished Know Nothing Senator from
shs city. 1t has been whispered that
Herculean legal brain was vastly exercised
in the conception and completion of this
literary gem but all is mystery and
doubt.
We will make few quotations from
this celebrated production, in order 10 give
some slight idea Of its delectalls literary
and grammatical beauties -
The Commissioners recognize the right
Of the Mayor to visit the Asylum, but claim
that his right by virtue OF bis ffics is only
visitorial, aud that when he ,ranscends this,
they claim that he assumes power which
the law and his oath OF Office hath not i'm
posed upon him.
Which the law and his oath OF Office
hath not imposed upon him. Most exquis,
