8vo. By Capt. Marryat. One might suppose from the variety of American iriim i an a jriarrvan I iar .1 r- tKe the fi lowing bits from the chapter on LamniHi. 01 colim onc, Zllh one of JjJJ rica, who was narrating to me the advantage.

W- 3.000 trade-men of Birmingham, in the hope of obtaining its rectification, through the memorial, and the deputations to Ixird Melbourne. At the great meeting at Hollouay Head, onthe6fh of Anjjust last, when the national petition was adopte I made use of the following words, as reported at the time in the Birmingham Journal and I am sure that 1 have used similar words twenty limes over belore and since, viz. They shall give up the Houe of Commons into the hands of the commons of England, and then, I trut, that measures will be adopted fAere which will give security, happiness, and contentmrnt to all. But, my friends, I find myself in a painful position. You all know my opinions respecting the currency.

1 believe that no human wisdom and no human power can make the industrious classes flouri-h permanently in England under the present monetary system. See then mv p.inful position. The day is coming iu which these words may appear like a prophecy. You have placed me at your head. If I should succeed in giving you the liberty, and not succeed in rectifying the currency, and, consequently, in giving you the prosperity, the liberty will but precipitate anarchy, and your misery will be greater than even it now is.

I must dare this great contingency i and 1 must trust to the confidence of the indu-trious cl.i-S'S, and to the wisdom and virtue of the 49 delegates, whom they will elect to enable me to insure the prosjterity and lhe liberty at the same time. Without this, my pro-pecl is but gloomy. If I fail iu the great work of liberty, I sbll fall under the vengeance of Ihe boroug ''mongers and if I fail iu the great work of proserity, I shall fall under the fury of a disappointed and exasperated people." (Loud shouts of-No, no; On theSOti May last I expressed similar sentiments in the House of Commons quoting largely from all our proceedings in Birmingham for the lat ten years and proving that the pressure of the present gold money was in many cases 400 prr cent, upon ihe industrious classes, and in all cases 100 per' cent instead of only four per as had been pretended; and I took the precaution ol -ending fifty corrected copies of my speech among the members ot the General Convention of the Industrious Classes. In the course of my speech on the national petition on the 14th ol June, and also on the present occasion, 1 had enlarged upon that most important part of the petition which savs We tell your Honourable House that the capital of the master must no longer be deprived of iu due profit that the labour of the workman must no longer he deprived of its due rereard that the laws which make food dear, and those which, by making money scarce make labour cheap, must I had enlarged upon the madness of pas-ing one set of laws to mak-scarce the food which supports man's life, and another set of Isws to malct scarce the money which purchases Ihe had evn ventured to give the House my old quotation from holv writ: When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may set forth wheat, making the loaf small and ihe coin Ihe balances by deceit Shall not the land tremble for this In short. 1 had done everv thing in my power to prove the absolute necessity of either restoring a regulated system of paper money, or of altering the present standard of value und 1 had repeated my old prophecy and my firm conviction that to persevere in the present system of lhe currency would create so much misery and distress that it would ultimately convert the nation into a nation of demons, or of men like demons.1 After all this what, ihen, was my bitter mortification, when Lord John Russell, as his main answer to my arguments, produced to the House a placard, unheard of by me before, and sigmd apparently by every member of the General Convention of the Industrious Classes, openly rejecting these my known and proved doctrinet and opinions, denouncing what he placard calls the pwer and corrupting influence of paper money, and declaring that the industrious clasps have been defrauded by the fraudulent bits of paper, which our State tricksters difnify with the name of money' and are at this moment being robbed by that system of three-fourths of their lab ou Here was an argument which I could not answer.

When Lord John Russell, bidding the placard in his hand, and reading its contents, triumphantly inquired Of what use would reform be when my own friends i ejected its mnstim-lrlant objects 1 was paralysed. I had created the General Convention. It was the offspring of my own brain. I was surrounded by enemies on every side, many of them interested against me, and all contending against me. At this very moment, out of my own camp, a mortal weapon was directed against my heart 1 leave you, my friends, to judge of my feelings.

For twenty-five years I have wasted my life in incessant labours, contending, by day and by night, against the fraud, cruelly, and onnressinn uhirh tha lanAA mt-e ii iis in lhe same i lace, fur the purpose of orgaiiiing, according to Ihe most lieiitic information Ihnt can be obtained, a plan for selling fire to the town in oiffertnt psrls. One re-uli of tlieir determinations I understand was that they would r.oi ttiempt to resist, but etde the military, and iKe aie (a b. provided with light vehicles in order to carry utl the moment they have effected their incendiary obj. cts. To-morrow ur Tuesday it wat expected the attempt would he made, but the information obiained by the authori-tips, and their present vigilance, combined with the great forco of special constable in active dutv will doubtless either toil the attempt or induce its postponement.

One thing it et rtain, that a number of lads, of whom a great numberjoined the Chartists, have leen drilled for more tlian a fortnight past to cale the lamp-potf and put out the light at the word of command. the magistrate! received information that twelve persons in the neighbourhood of Nova Sctiia street had been practising firing at a target. In their public announce. nents the word newspapers" it understood to me. in armsi thus when the belliunn on Monday laitt invited the people to meet at Hollow ay Head, and each mas To bring a newspaper with him, the intimation wat that earfi mm should com" armed.

A Sunday paper sent do.m a placard of its content t.i be posted here, headed "Horrible conduct of the Chartists," but no newsvender or bill-sticker could be found aIio would dare to po-t it. A large number ol Chartists have been laying iu prov isions for the sacred month, but the greater per. ion of those who resolved to observes month of idleness depend lor subsistence on the method of borrowing which was so significantly pointed out to them. The Chartists are much enraged with the Convention for postponing this sacred month. They tay if they wait much longer they will lose their leaders, and they have expressed their determination to risk all sooner than the men committed to Warwick shall be punished, and information hat been received that a plan is in the course of organisation to rescue them if con icied.

Ou the other hand vigorous measures of precaution have been taken. The Earl of Warwick was here yesterday, and left the afternoon. It was reponed that Sir Robert Peel came to meet him, but on inquiry this does not turn out lo be the fact. The liarl of Warwick is, I am informed, taking active measures lo preserve the peace of the neighbourhood. Lord AvUford, Colonel Chatterton, and Colonel Thorn, the commanders of the military and yeomanry, were yesterday in consultation with the magistrates, and a plan of moic extensive and vigorous watching and patrolling has been laid down.

The patrols hava been pushed further nut of the town, and measures adopted to give immediate inf ormation of any attempt to disturb the peace, and to bring up au adequate force to the point of attack. The authorities of ihe railway have been warned to be on the alert, lest any attempt should be made to break it up, to as to interrupt communication, and prevent the conveyance of troops from Veedon barracks, whence the military are prepared lo start lor IJirmiiigliam at a moment's notice. The streets were cronded last night, and groups of working man were to bt seen iu every direction, but no disturbance took place. Man) stranger have been observed in the town, and their proceedings are igilantly watched. Much excitement prevailed yesterday from a renewed impression that Mr.

Maule wat secretly conducting the inquiry promised by Government, but, on application to that gentleman by the membeit of the Loudon press now here, he politely informed them that he was charged with ao such inquiry, and knew nothing more of it thaa he had learned through the medium of the public press.

Three prisoners were brought in last night and early this morning. One of them was charged on suspicion of being concerned in some projected attempt to burn down the workhouse. They will probably be examined to-morrow.

In the midst of these horrors I am happy to mention that all attempts to induce the Irish (of whom there are about 10,000 in all here) to join the Chartists have failed. They have a society with the besetting sin of Irish societies, secret signs, but it is, I understand, merely charitable. The Chartists are much enraged with them, and denounce O'Con-nell as the cause, and proclaim him at traitor to their cause. All is quiet at present. But I have just heard as 1 finished the above sentence that a letter, threatening conflagration, has ben received by Mr.

Hebbert, with extracts from the Catholic version of lhe Scriptures. The Catholics here indignantly denounce it as a forgery. A man named Robert Webb, has been apprehended on suspicion of setting fire to Mr. Bourne's premises. STATE OF THE NEIGHBOURING TOWNS.

The feeling or alarm so prevalent in this place at once urges the necessity of inquiry as to what may be the temper and state of the population of the adjacent districts, densely inhabited as they are by a clas scarcely acknowledging any moral restraint, and easily led astray by excitement either of circumstance or passion. The following information, which has been derived from the most authentic sources, may be fully relied on: Wolverhampton ap its Neighbourhood. The character for ultra-Liberal principles which this town has so long borne, and the dense population witS which it is crowded, has created some anxiety as to what result might arise from the late movements at Birmingham whether the force of example would not produce, with a similarly temperated populace, and one supposed to coincide with it in political tenets, a machinery calculated to workout the same results. Any evil foreboding of this nature has happily, up to t'ie present time, been without foundation. No demonstration of excited popular feeling has yet been apparent, neither have the local authorities at present fell any necessity to resort to any extra precautionary means for ensuring the public peace.

To account for the quiet state of this district it may be said that Liberalism has not here yet resolved itself into all the micuter principles nominally recognised by Chartism in almost all other places but it rather seems to insist that ev ery energy of its partisans should be directed to the advancement of that demand, which forms, as it were, but one strand in the poliiical cord which binds the Chartists together. The repeal of the Corn Laws forms here the oae-engrossing requisition, and meetings which have been convened for tbe purpose of advocating Chartism on its widest basis have always settled down to this one question, as forming or itself tbe one thing needful. The generally prosperous state of tha staple trade and manufacture or the place may also go far to account for its quiet behaviour. The operatives engaged in the manufacture or iron from the ore are in the receipt of full work and full wages, and about five-eighths of then, are employed in this branch ef trade alone and, although it cannot be said that the manufacturer of articles from the iron is on so prosperous a scale, yet it cannot be fairly stated that that branch is bad. Socialism does not seem to exist here to any great extent in fact, resolutions of a highly condemnatory character were on Friday last passed Bt a large public meeting by a most overwhelming majority, there being but eight hands held up against them.

It cannot, however, be denied that a morbid feeling of discontent may be traced in Wolverhampton. At present employment and plenty may satisfactorily account for its non-mani-lestation but should any sufficient cause arise, either through any sudden depression of trade or through any events of a highly exciting character occurring in the neighbourhood, it is to be feared that the contagion would spread, and fresh disaffection and tumult be added to the mass. However, at has been before said, there it no immediate cause of alarm the police force, which consists but of twenty-five men, has not been increased by any adventitious aid, and it is to be hoped that the magistrates have not m. alculated on the quiet appearance evinced by the whole neighbourhood. To Walsall, Bilston, and their vicinity the remarks which have been made on Wolverhampton will apply with equal force.

Nothing has occurred in these places to excite any alarm, and the various rumours which have reached Birmingham of riots having taken place are wholly without foundation. In Dudley, however, there exists more caute for apprehension. On Tuesday last a placard was exhibited in the shop window of a Mr. Cook, a linen-draper, stating that at a meeting of the Working Men's Association (which has been lately established, and is held at a public-house called the Founder's Arms), Brown and Fusell would be present, which haviug come to the knowledge of tbe magistrates, they proceeded to tbe place, and signified their intention of depriving ine landlord ot nis license should such an assembly take place there. The meeting, therefore, took place it.

front of the building; and in the absence of Brown, who refused to attend after the decision of the magistrates, a man named Lindon proceeded to address the meeting, making use of language of a must turbulent and inflammatory character. On the Wednesday morning the magistrates thought it necessary to arrest him, and, in default of bail, he has been longed in Worcester gaol. On Friday ev ening Mr. Cook was apprehended, on tbe charge of aiding and abetting in the proceedings or a meeting of a violent and alarming nature; and, after an examination, which lasted three hours, at which Lord Foley, the Lord Lieutenant of tbe county, was present, he was remanded until the following day, and has since been held over to bail, himself in and two sureties of 150. Two hundred special constables have been sworn in, and a nightly patrol of twenty-four, four to each of the principal ttreets, hat been established.

But do further events of an exciting character had occurred up to nine o'clock last night. tafford alo (affords tome grounds for apprehension in consequence of the masters returning to the old standard of wages, which had been established for seven or eight years but departed from during the last five or six weeks. The workmen have struck, and business has been at a complete stand-still during the lat few days. Almost all of the nn-n arr.ed men havelelt the place, and the greater part of those that remain are with their families in a most distressing state An attempt at reconciliation made during the last week ha failed, in consequence of the masters refusing to concede anys thing unless the workmen will content to recede from the union. All things wear a gloomy aspect here, and no one seems to know what the termination may be.

WOODEN PAVEMENTS. We are now indebted to the talents of a French nobleman for a plan which promise! to realise the greatest advantages as applicable to paving. It had often occurred to us as tlrange that wood has never until now been used for road-making, it having long been tried in other countries with success at Si. Petersburgh, Vienna, New York Philadelphia, and New Orleans. Here wood was in abundance, and was considered the best substance for pavement, for its elasticity renders it leu liable to be worn by friction.

But the difficulty of packing the blocks together with sufficient firmness has not in those countries been overcome. The discovery, however, of a form derived from a mathematical principle has accomplished this great desideratum, and wood pavement can by this new system be constructed in such a manner as to present any surface of one solid compact body It is alto the cheapest and most lasting mode of constructing pavement, and has none of the disadvantages of the existing system it cannot sink under its original level, and no shock or pressure can shake or dislodge any portion of it. It it neither dusty in dry nor muddy in wet weather. MUSICAL CHIT-CHAT. 4c.

That happy couple, all the world and hit wife, literally were present the wonderful travelling afforded by the railwa, performing the journey comfortaSly in ten hours, thus rendering the city the half-way bouse between London and Dublin.

The races themselves, the knowledge that Taglioai wat engaged for three nights, nay iu sosae measure explain the immense overflow of visitors. The cocking too an event at Liverpool that to far supersedes the interest in the racing that the latter never it allowed to commence until the fighting it well concluded. At this amusement, however, proved no attraction to your humble servant, he would inevitably tail in attempting the description. The races then did begin about three, one hour behind time this is nothing. We do not expect punctuality anywhere but at Newmarket.

The Croxteth Stakes, for which five appeared, was interesting, inasmuch as the Oaks victor, Deception, ran, and was defeated by that very racing-like nag The Doctor. It must be added that the mare bad travelled all night, wat not half prepared to run, and wat jockeyed by a mere lad, who carried 4lbs. extra, no more efficient jockey being discoverable, although, I believe, Arthur Pavis and Tommy Lye were hoili on the ground. The object, however, being merely to obtain the allowance for Goodwood, winning the 100 sovs. was of course a secondary consideration not so all these little facts, which are intended to prevent not De, but Miscon-cepti.

A Maiden Plate, value 70 concluded the sport at nine o'clock at night, with four heats -tbe third a deid heat the betting on this was very spirited in small amounts, anything but the winner being fancied after each. There is no regular betting-room at Liverpool, but an assemblage takes place nightly in a low room io a public-house near High-street, where smoking and betting takes place on a large scale.

The cup betting did not vary much, Charles the Twelfth and Bennett, the two favourites, tteadily keeping their placet. WEDNESDAY. Our slumbers were thit morning disturbed by a bind of men and music parading the streets in gay drestet of blue and white, a la mill aire whether they did thit for their own amusement or ourt we had no time to inquire, but as the morceaux selected very much resembled the tune the old cow died of, I would suggest to the gentlemen that if they followed their vocation at a later hour I feel sure their endeavours would meet with more approbation. To the course then we steered at twelve, amid dust, beggars, and thousands of pedestrians and equestrians. The Stand, although a mo capital place to see the races from, contains no betting room a fault terribly complained of at Doncaster; the cunseqaence is that the ladies get mixed up in the din and confusion that prevails, that must render it very unpleasant.

This is remedied at Ascot and Goodwood, and might be to here at a very trifling expense. An east wind jwevailed throughout the day, which of all things, coupled with hot sun, is to be avoided. However, the winners seemed to console themselves, and left the losers to quarrel with the winds, weather, and storms. The racing began about three and ended in such time that most of the company were home again by seven. The cup brought out sixteen, leaving Toothill in the stable, too lame to justify his owner in starting him.

It need scarcely be told in this letter that Charles the Twelfth, a three-yeart-old, carrying 6st. won in a canter, St. Bennett being second, these two being the favourites, at two to one and five to one, taken about each Lanercost, the third favourite in the stand, being third in the race. So much for the handicap. The winner, although i.o great feat to accomplish to obtain thit title, is in the St.

Leger, and was backed freely at any odds above four to one. He is undoubtedly a remarkably fine colt, and as likely a nag to take the shine out of Bloomsbury as any thing in the race. The party (the Scott's) are large winners and were very fond. It was said, and pretty currently circulated, that the horse had been coughing for the last two or three days. There were not many, fortunately for themselves, that listened to the rumour.

St. Bennett, 8st. 51 for running second, was backed for the stakes at Goodwood at twelve to one. The same price, I fancy, might have been obtained again, as he carries in the latter race 9lbs. more weight, and the course is half a mile longer and more severe.

Of the Goodwood stakes in my next. The other racing is too uninteresting to require especial notice. Lord EJinton and Tommy Lye carried off two out of three, and his Lordship looked happy in the reflection. About every ten yards on the course there appeared a gambling table, the amount to be risked varying in the limit from one penny to one shilling and about every ten yards on the road from Liverpool (six miles) there appeared au immense bill, headed Caution," and strongly expressive of that word, against this nuisance. It appears that these billsare circulated by the many tea-tota llers' temperance societies, one of which, it appears, on a second inquiry, was employed early in the morning, at I have stated above, iu disturbing and serenading the peaceful inhabitants of this unfashionable watering-place, as a tort of opposition to the races.

Poor devils, they had better have let people go on quietly at their work. The theatre in the evening was crammed, ai.d Taghoni appeared in health and spirits, and with that grace and elegance for which she stands so pre-eminent before all in her profession. She was loudly cheered throughout her dances, and called forward at the conclusion to receive this popular testimony of the unequivocal approbation of her audience. She dances at Manchester on Saturday and Monday, and leaves England the following day. I am always for pro moting sport.

Sir, and therefore mutt add that it was said that at the Manchester end of the railway no let than 300. was taken this day it surely is not too snuch to hope that another year there may be a railway plate of 100 guineas. I shall not forget. Sir, to stir up the Great Western nt the next Acot they must have taken near 3,0001. during the last week at the Heath, near Windsor.

thcrsd.it. When it rains it pours," and blows too at Liverpool; huts were teen flying in every direction, and the windows in the stand, until after the first race, were generally closed so tempestuous was the weather that but few ladies ventured to the course, and not many beings of any description were found to patronise what turned out a bad day's sport. The Lejer was won very easily by Hetman Platoff, another of Scott's should The Lord Mayor win at Goodwood the betting on the Doncaster St Leger will be fruitful to those who are in the stable. A two-year-old stakes followed, which, reduced to a match, was won easily by the favourite. The Hooton Stakes and the Queen's Plate were specimens "of the use and abuse of public money.

By private arrangement, Mr. Ramsay was allowed to win the first, his own horse running second to receive the money for second horse, while Lord Eglinton of course won the other with the Potentate. It is worthy of record that in the Leger Lord Kg tin ton's Zoroaster ran in his clothing; report says, this horse has been tried to be the best three-) ear-old in England, but that he has a great aversion to running where there it anything to be got by it he was beat clothes and all a quarter of a mile. But little sport is promised for to-morrow, so little that 1 close my letter. I would add a list of the sportsmen present, but it would far exceed my usual limit, and I am sure it will suffice to state that there was scarcely an absentee among the frt-quentersof T.ttersallV Judex.

ET to mterrupt the peace'of the tourists who have preceded Captain Marryat that hension, and shows that there is yet ample room and verge enough for new obner vat ions and descriptions, not only by himself, but by many who may follow him. We may be assured that, even had he no original views to develop nor character to investigate, his manner of treating the subjecta would be perfectly original, but in these volumes he has borrowed nothing in either respect from any of his predecessors.

The first volume and half the second contain the diary; the remaining half of the work is devoted to comments on the laws, religion, education, language, of the United States; and he promises a further treatise on the societyand Government. En attendant, we have here a fund of amusement, blended with an equal quantity of useful and interesting information, while the usual sound judgment of the author presides over the whole. From the chapter on the laws we select the following HOW TO EVADE THE LAW. The very first object of the Americans after law ha been passed, is to find out how they can evade it This exercises their ingenuity, and it is very amusing to observe how cleverly they sometimes manage it. Every State enactment to uphold the morals or for the better regulation or society is immediately opposed by the sovereign people.

An Act was passed to prohibit the pUyingat nine pins (a very foolish Act, as the Ameriaans have so few amusements). As soon as the law was put in force it was notified everv -where ten pins played here and they have been played everywhere ever since. Another Act was passed to put down billiard-tables, and in this instance every precaution was taken, by an accurate description of the billiard-table, that the law might be enforced whereupon an extra pneket was added to the billi.ird-table, and thusthe law was ev adetl. At Baltimore, in consequence of the prevalence of hydrophobia, the civic authorities parsed a law thai all dogs should be muzzled, or rather the terms were, that all doifs should wear a or the owner of a dog not wearing a muzzle should be brought up and finnl and the regulation further stated that anybody convicted or having removed t'ie muzzle from oft' a dog should also be severely A man. therefore, tied a muzzle to his dog's tail (the Act not slating where the muzzle was to be placed).

One or the city officers, perceiving this dog with his muzzle at the wrung i-nd, took possession of the and brought it to the Town Hall. Its master, being well known, was summoned, and appeared. He proved that he complied with the Act, in having fixed a muzzle on the dog; and further, the city ofiicer having taken the muzzle off the dogs tail, he insisted that he should betined five dollars for so doing." A DIG VIFIED JUDGE. The mas of the ci izens or the United States have certainly a very great dislike to all law except their own, i. the decision of the majority and it must be acknowledged that it is not only the principle of equality, but the parties who are elected as district Judges, that, by their own conduct, contribute much to that want of respect with which iey are Heated in their Courts.

When a Juilge on his bench sit half asleep, with his hat on, and his coat and shoes his heels kicking upon the railing or table, which it at high or higher thau his head, his toes peeping through a pair of old worsted stockings, and with a huge quid of tobacco in his cheek, you cannot expect that much respect will be paid lo him. Vet such is even now the practice in the interior of the Western Statet." LEGAL ACUMEN. There it a record of a very curious trial which occurred in th. State of New York. A man had lent a larjre iron kettle, or boiler, to another, and, it being returned cracked, an action was brought against the borrower for the value of the kettle.

After the plaintiff's case had been heard, the counsel for the defendant and said1 Mister Judge, we uneuu imi action upon tmee counts, all ot which we sbali most satisfactorily prova lo ou. In the first place, we will prove by undoubted evidence that the kettle was cracked when we borrowed it "In the second, that the kettle, when we returned it. wa whole and sound "And in the third, we will prov. that we uever borrowed the kettle at all." INFLUENCE OF A PRETTY GIRL. Catherine Manly (said the Recorder yesterday, in the sessions), you have been convicted of a very had crime.

Thi stealing is a very serious offence but, as uou are a pretty girl! we'll suspend judgment, in hope you will do belter for Ihe We have often heard that justice wat blind. What a fib to say so The following remarks on Education cannot fail to be read with interest It is admitted a. an axiom in the United Statet, that the only chance they have of upholding their present institutions is by the education of Ihe mas that is to say, a people who would govern themselves must be enlightened. onvinced of this, every pains has been taken by th. Federal and State Cinvernment to provide the necessary means of education.

this is granted but now we have to inquire into the nature of the education, and the advantages derived from such edu cation as is received in the United States. in tne si place, what is education Is teaching a boy io read and write education If so, a large proportion of ifo auiniun community mn oe mid to be educated; but il you supply a man with a chest of tools does he therefore become a carpenter? You certainly give him the mean. working at the trade, but instead of learning it he may only cut his finger. Reading; and writing, without ihe further assistance necessary io guide people ari -ht, is nothing more than the chest of teoN. Then what is education I consider that education commence, tiefore a child can walk.

The first principle of education, the most important, and without which all subsequent attempts at it are but as leather and prunelU, is the lesson obedience ot submitting to parental control' Honour thu father and thy Now, any one who has been in the United State, murt have perceived that there is little or i parental control. I hi. has been remarked by most of lhe writers who have visited the country indeed, to an Englishman it is a most remarkable feature. How is it possible for a child to be brought up io the way that it should go when he is not obedient to the will or his parents I have often fallen into a melancholy sort of musing after witnessing such remarkable specimens of uncontrolled will iu children and, as the father and mother both smiled at it, 1 have thought that they little knew what sorrow and vexation were probably in storp for them, in consequence of their own injudicious treatment of their offspring.

By Henry James Hulthotbr, Esq. London Wm. Crofti. This is in every respect a really useful work jj particularly designed for the use of the sludeni of law; but its utility is by no means confined, more than its circulation will be, to that comparatively limited class of readers for as a bo4 in ference it supplies a desideratum which has long felt also to exist in every well stored libnirv general information. The author io hi prefeee well and correctly says "The science of Ihe law, it may be called a science, is extremely prolific words of technical character, and the student, commencing the pursuit of this branch of knowledge, soon discovers that in order to understand the aw itself he must first become acquainted with the Ian guage of the law.

To aswiat him in the attainment of this object is the purpose of the present accordingly this volume puts forward no intensions to competition with the larger dictionaries of Jacobor Tomly na; it contains no elaborate treatises, legal subjects, bat, confining itself to the mere i tuition of legal terms, it gives those definitions in Ian- Kuageatonte clear and concise, and only assumes the shape of an eay when some explanation ot the subject is absolutely neceswary in order to -I 'i the term.

The enemies of the people, always on the watch Co injure the people's cusp, with spies, traitors, enthusiasts, and fools, would undoubtedly be at work. Mischief of some kind would probably be produced, and that mischief whatever it might be, would most certainlu be laid at my door.

The attempt to allure back the working classes to the standard or the middle classes has unfortunately failed. Several or the leading working men, supposed to be the most mode-rate amongst them, were invited to a conference with the members of the Peace, Uw. and Order Society, last night, at the Johnsons Head. The objec of the coherence was to inrt uce the working classes to besworn in as special constables. This wat reru-ed the working men declaring that a number them would not object to it, provided they received a pledge lhat their meetings should beheld without interruption otherwise they would not consent.

The following occurred at the police office yesterday Henry Brown, the Chartist, was brought up, charged with haying attended a meeting at Hollyway Head.on the 15th iust I hu man wa the first person who commenced reading in the Bull ring, which has lately been the scene of so much not and confusion. He was arrested a few weeks ago by two or the London police, and committed to take his trial at the assizes for uing seditious language. Very heavy bail was required for his appearance, and in deport he was committed to Warwick gaol, where he remained some weeks, tranquillity, however, having been res on and the Bullring meetings being the magistrates, in consideration of his lami v. dinrleH hi. h.il U- son, who entered into the required recogniaHnce.

and he was ol-cnarired Smn ih.n k. -i uer" cioaeiy watcned. and on Wednesday information was g.ven at the police office that he had been at the meeting at Hollyway Head on Monday, and had gone to Dudley to excite the Chartists of that town Hall, theoRjcer, was despatched after him but, af.er an ineffectual search, returned without him. On Friday, however, it appears he came back to Birmingham and on being informed by his wife that the officer was looking for him he immediately went to the police office and surrendered himself When before Mr. Laurence, the magistrate, he denied most positively that he was ai tha niMilm, that conviction he had surrendered himself.

With respect to his visit to Dudley, he could nnsitivelv mv hA -J- dressed any meeting. The fact was. he went over with a view ot trying to raise some money to enable him to carry on his defence at ihe iitim nt tha rv.ji. i ft uuumi were well aware thai he did not at end any meeting. Mr.

Laurence said they were not then prepared to ge into the case, and he stood remanded until Monday. Brown is a young man about 26 years of age; a pencil. Binder bv trade, and. for a working man, of respectable talents. There was another rmtnn.

it kL. dering himself. The whole or a portion of those who went bail for his attendance at the assizes, on hearing of the fresh charges against him. became alarmed for their own safety, and had applied to the mae-iatrataB to i kt i rciuim. 1 til UPI to remove their apprehensions, he resolved on giving hiinsell buaracier oirmingnan), and a member of the Convention it i.
