william disguised as a little man, and Miss Daly advocates-substitute, prefects, and deputy pre-A fects, &c.

in the capacity of his chere amie. Each husband recognizes his own wife, but neither knows his friend's, and they are both threatened into secrecy. The whole party partake together of an elegant dinner of tripe. Occasion is taken by the little female man to pick a quarrel with Mr. Reeve, and an adjournment to the shooting ground, with a view of Primrose Hill, and to a duel, follows. Here Mr. Reeve, who proves to be a large man with little courage, and who has more stomach for tripe than gunpowder, without waiting for his adversary to fire, falls down, upon the accidental explosion of a pistol in the hand of a person near him. Being, of course, laughed at by all present, and being considered to be thereby sufficiently punished for his frolic, a general reconciliation takes place, and the piece goes off almost as unexpectedly as the other did. These materials are slight-but Mr. Reeve bustled-Mrs. Fitzwilliam clustered-Mr. Buckstone a-aw-awd as usual, with much comicality-Mr. Wilkinson, (whom we had forgotten to mention,) was as dry and quaint as circumstances permitted, and the audience laughed. Nothing then seems to be required, but the omission of one or two gross allusions from Mr. Reeve, which, we hope, for his sake, were the author's, and which we hope, for the author's sake, were his, to enable 'Chalk Farm' to have its fair share of custom.

MISCELLANEA

The Lady's Chapel, St. Saviour's.-Our readers will probably have read enough of the threatened demolition of this ancient building in the daily papers. We have therefore great pleasure in contradicting the report, that Mr. Smirke had lent the sanction of his name to the removal of this building. We are enabled to state, from the best authority, that the reverse is the fact; the London Bridge committee, however desirous they may now be of relieving themselves from the imputation of being partners with the Borough vandals in this barbarous act, certainly consulted that gentleman, as to what was best to be done to support the church when the chapel was removed; and on Mr. Smirke's remonstrating with them, they said they had decided upon the removal, and all they required was his help in propping up the tower. Polish Society.-The Poles, who have been forced to seek an asylum in France, have instituted a Society at Paris, under the name of the "Literary Society of the Polish Refugees;" under the presidency of the celebrated Lelewel. Its object is to bring the rest of Europe better acquainted with the beauties and value of Polish literature, the ancient and modern history of Poland, and whatever may bear upon the arts and sciences, so far as that country is concerned. On the list of the first founders of this Society, we observe the names of Chodzko, Slowacki, Casimir Dobrowski, Niewicz, Wodzinski, and many others, as eminent for their patrotism as their scientific attainments. somewhat similar Society is, we believe, about to be established in London.

This is an instructive volume for the youthful student, intended as a supplement to Plancek's Grecian, Roman, and English His ories. The first half of the volume is occupied with the primeval and classical periods; in which the author has particularly directed his attention to those branches of history on which school-books are frequently deficient, although directly illustrative of the general course of study. Among these topics may be instanced, the histories of the Persians and Carthageniuns, the antagonists and rivals of Greece and Rome. In the modern division especial attention is paid to the Fendal System and the Crusades, and afterwards to the English Empire in India, and British commerce in general. Then follows a series of British biography, and, in conclusion, a view of the British constitution. Prefixed to the volume is a union map, exhibiting, in one sheet, the ancient divisions of the world in red, and the modern in black-an ingenious and very usefni plan."-Gentleman's Mag.

GRAMMAR of the HEBREW LANGUAGE. By MOSES STUART, Associate Professor of Sacred Literature in the Institution at Andover, U.S. 4th edit. reprinted with the concurrence of the Author. In 1 vol. 8vo. 14s. boards.

This Hebrew Grammar is considered as the best extant-such was the opinion of the late Dr. Nicoll, Regius-Professor; and it is now recommended by Dr. Pusey, the present Regius Professor. Dr. Lee, Professor of Arabic at Cambridge, says, in the Preface to his Hebrew Grammar, "Dr. Gesenius is closely followed by Professor Stuart, in the very excellent Hebrew Grammar which he has published."

Dedicated, with permission, to Professor Gaisford. Scriptores Græci Minores, Quorum Reliquas, fere omnium melioris notæ, ex editionibus variis excerpsit J. A. Giles, A.B. e C.C.C. Oxon. Beautifully printed in 2 vols. foolscap 8vo. price 16s. cloth boards.

This publication comprises a full and complete collection of as many of the minor Greek authors as could be brought together in a convenient form at a moderate expense. It contains the whole remains of fifty authors, several of whose works have never before been collected. Great care has been taken with the printing, and some humble attempts have been made at restoring passages evidently corrupt. Whoever wishes to have his classical library complete will not be without this work; and he would find any other edition of Sappho or Tyrtus alone cost him more than the whole of the fifty authors here collected together.

"This neat and accurate edition of the minor Greek writers contains many interesting fragments which have been omitted in previous collections. The text has been prepared with equal industry and ability; the few critical observations display both learning and taste."-Athenæum.

DOCUMENTS RESPECTING THE STATE OF THE POOR, PROGRESS OF EDUCATION, ETC.

The Magazine now presented to the notice of the public, differs, in some important respects, FROM ANY AT PRESENT IN EXIST ENCE. While its chief aim will be undoubtedly to diffuse sound religious and moral information, it does NOT seek to be EXCLU SIVELY THEOLOGICAL; but will embrace other topics connected almost directly with public improvement. The education of the poor, their moral and religious condition, and their temporal wants, are objects of paramount interest, at present, both to the religious man and the politician. The Magazine will, therefore, embrace accounts of the plans devised for the improvement of both the spiritual and temporal condition of the poor, whether by societies (with reports of their proceedings) or by individuals, and will be open to communication on these important points. On all these subjects, as well as on religions matters,-ON THE STATE OF THE CHURCH AND CLERGY, as well as of other religious bodies,-it will seek to present FACTS AND DOCI!MENTS. And on this ground it will hope for the patronage of the lovers of truth in all parties, political and religions. For TRUTH, in most of the points here alluded to, is only to be known by the careful collection, and careful examination of DOCUMENTS. All, therefore, who wish to know the truth, must wish for docaments; and no one, whatever be his party, can wish to shrink from the inferences to which he may be conducted by them, or fear that these faithful guides-if rightly used-will ever mislead him.

With respect to the PRINCIPLES adopted in the Magazine, the Proprietors feel that they could not gain credit with reasonable men by professing that the management is entrusted to persons having no fixed opinions on matters so important as those which will be treated of; they have, therefore, no hesitation in stating. that the Magazine is in the hands of persons EELONGING TO THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND, nor in avowing their conviction, that while almost every sect has its journal, great advantage and convenience would arise to the members of the Church of England, if they, too, had theirs; that is to say, if they had a journal which should not SEEK for discussions of matters where churchmen differ; but rather give them a point of union on matters where they agree, and a means of promoting their common cause. But having said this, the Proprietors must add, that the Magazine will always be open to those who may wish to explain or defend themselves against any charges or accusations conveyed in its

pages.

They trust that THE CLERGY may find this Magazine an useful medium of communication on PROFESSIONAL matters, a medium which seems to them at present to be much wanted. They will endeavour, as far as possible, to give full accounts of all Meetings held on Religious Matters, as well as those for Benevolent Purposes, reserving to the Editor the right of making brief comments on any points which he may deem of consequence in the speeches reported.

For the ORIGINAL matter, they can only say that they are prepared to spare no expense for the purpose of engaging able Contributors, and they take this opportunity of inviting Contribu tions. In addition to the points already adverted to, they hope very frequently to present their readers with Biographies of Remarkable Religious Characters; and also with Records of the Manners, Feelings, and Habits of Students and Scholars, as well as of Divines and Religious Men of past times.

In conclusion, they invite notice to the following list of subjects, which they intend to comprehend in their Miscellaneous Department.

MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT.

1. Notices of the olden time, in extracts from Original Letters, or curious and scarce Works.

2. Reviews of new Books.

3. Events of the Month, arranged under Counties, confined to matters relating to the Clergy, the Church, and the Poor. 4. Acts of Parliament respecting Church or Poor-or moral and religious state of the Country, whole or abstracted.

5. Trials of Importance, referring to the same topics. 6. Reports of Religious Meetings, with Editor's Remarks. 7. Reports of Meetings for bettering the condition of the Poor. 8. Documents of all kinds respecting Church Revenues, Poor's Rates, Emigration, Population, "Religious and Benevolent Societies. 9. University News.

10. Clerical News-Clergy Deceased, Married, Ordained, Preferred.

11. List of New Books and announcements.

12. State of the Markets for the Month, with prices.

13. State of the Funds-List of Bankrupts-List of Patents. 14. Gurdener's Calendar for ensuing Month.

15. Meteorological Register for past Month.

The Magazine will contain about Six Sheets of Letter-pres, with a Wood-cut by a superior Artist: and will be published on the 1st of MARCH, and be continued Monthly, price 25.

NEW AND IMPROVED EDITION OF MILLER'S
GARDENER'S DICTIONARY.

This day is published, in quarto, with numerous Wood-cuts, price 31. 128. in boards, the First Volume of GENERAL SYSTEM of GARDENING and BOTANY; containing a complete Enumeration and Description of all Plants hitherto known; with their generic and specific Characters, Places of Growth, Time of Flowering, Mode of Culture, and their Uses in Medicine and Domestic Economy; founded upon Miller's Gardener's Dictionary, and arranged according to the Natural System.

By GEORGE DON, F.L.S.

London: Printed for J. G. and F. Rivington; J. and W. T. Clarke; Longman and Co.; T. Cadell; J. Richardson; Jeffery and Son; Baldwin and Cradock; J. Booker; J. Booth; Harvey and Darton; S. Bagster: Sherwood and Co.; Harding and Lepard J. T. Setchel; Whittaker and Co.; Simpkin and Marshall; and E. Hodgson.

This Work is also published in Monthly Numbers, price 6s. each. The interest now so universally felt in the sciences of Agricul tare, Gardening, and Botany, appears to demand a work of more ample and varied information on those important subjects, than aay to which the public can, at present, have access. Under this conviction, the Proprietors of Miller's Gardener's and Botanist's Dictionary, have caused to be prepared for publication

A GENERAL SYSTEM OF GARDENING AND BOTANY, on a new and comprehensive plan, which includes the whole of what is valuable in the justly-celebrated performance of Miller, together with all the recent discoveries and improvements that have beets made in these departments of knowledge. The System will be contained in Four Volumes (the three first containing the Dicotyledonous Plants), arranged as follows:

Vol. I. Plants having the Stamen inserted in the Receptacle (Corresponding with the Class Polyandria of Linnaeus, but without reference to number).

Vol. II. Plants having the Stamen inserted in the Calyx (corresponding with the Class Icosandria of Linnæus, but without reference to number).

Vol. III. Plants having the Stamen inserted in the Corolla. Vol. IV. Monocotyledonous Plants, such as Lilies, Palms, Orchideons and Sellamineous Plants, Grasses, &c. For facility of reference, will be given-A Synopsis of the Genera, with their essential characters, preceding each natural order-An Alphabetical Index of the Genera and Synonymes, with each volume-An Index of the Genera, arranged according to the Linnan artificial method, and comprising a brief character of each genus-A Glossary of the Terms used throughout the Work -And a Complete Alphabetical Index to the whole Work.

NEW SERIES OF THE LAW JOURNAL.
HE LAW JOURNAL, as commenced in

only, at 3. 4s. per annum. It was, therefore, supplied directly by the Proprietor to those Subscribers.

The object of the work was to convey early information of all important legal changes and decisions; the Courts, to the proceedings of which, its general Reports were originally confined, being the Courts of Chancery, King's Bench, and Common Pleas, Its plan also comprehended Abridgments of all public Statutes, and annual Indexes, as well to the Reports in the Law Journal," as to the regular or authentic Reports, with which the Journal was not intended to interfere.

From that time to the present, it has been continued nearly upon its original plan, except that, in the year 1827, all Cases relating to the Poor Laws, to points in Criminal Law, and other subjects chiefly connected with the Duties and Office of Magistrates, were detached from the general body of the King's Beuch Reports, and printed together, by which means their communication to Subscribers, almost immediately after their being decided, was ensured;-except also, that in the year 1831, upon the Court of Exchequer being thrown open, Reports of Cases occurring in that Court were added to the work;-and except also, that in the year 1830, a Consolidated Analytical Digest, as well of the Cases published in the Law Journal,' as also in all other Reports, from Michaelmas Term 1822 to Trinity Term 1828 inchisive, was prepared with great accuracy, and printed by the Proprietor for gratuitous distribution to such parties, then taking in the Law Journal,' as had been Subscribers to it from its commencement.

As to the manner in which the Publication has been conducted during the nine years in which it has thus been before the Profession, the Proprietor makes no observation,-the nomber of gentlemen who have signified their approbation of it, by the best testimony in their power, their continued and increasing patronage, being a standard to which he can with confidence refer for proof of its intrinsic merits: but, while he can thus confidently appeal to this, the strongest evidence in its favour, he is fully aware that there have been some circumstances connected with the Publication which have tended to lessen its usefulness, the objections arising from which he has been long anxious to remedy. In the first place, being an Anonymous Publication, its Reports, however accurate, (and though on some occasions quoted with success,) have not been invariably permitted to be used in aid of principles, in support of which they were offered ;-and,

In the second place, being a work published by subscription, difficulties both in the circulation of it, and in the collection of subscriptions, have occurred, which have from time to time caused interruption in the Editorial department; and consequent irregularities have followed, both in bringing out the Monthly Parts, and in their subsequent distribution, which the Proprietor never anticipated. To obviate these objections is the aim of the Proprietor, in now introducing a New Series of the Law Journal' to the notice of the legal Profession: and, in withdrawing it as a Subscription Work, and putting it into circulation generally through the medium of Booksellers, (thus, to stand or fall on the intrinsic advantages which it offers,) he feels assured, that he shall not forfeit the patronage of those who have so far approved of the Publication; but that he shall secure many new friends in its support. In that assurance, he is the more strongly confirmed when he adds, that arrangements have been effected, by which, Cases occurring in the newly-established Court of Bankruptcy will henceforth be given, in addition to the Reports of the former Courts, which the work has hitherto embraced: and that, to remove all objections arising from the non-authenticity of the Publication, the whole of the Reports will be furnished by Gentlemen at the Bar, whose names are now published, as a guarantie for their faithfulness and accuracy.

NEW SERIES.

The New Series of the Law Journal,' therefore, now offered to the Profession, will commence from the 1st of January 1832, and will comprise

1st. Reports of Cases, argued and determined in the several Courts of Chancery, by S. Vallis Bone, of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., and John Warren Paget, of Gray's Inn, Esq., Barristers-at-Law. 2ndly. Reports of Cases in the Court of King's Bench, by James Barstow, of Gray's Inn, Esq., and Thomas Peake, of Lin coln's Inn, Esq., Barristers-at-Law. The Reports of Michaelmas, Hilary, and Easter Terms, to be furnished by Mr. Peake; and those of Trinity Term by Mr. Barstow.

3rdly. A separate arrangement of Cases in the Court of King's Bench, relating to Poor Laws, to points in Criminal Law, and other subjects chiefly connected with the Duties and Office of Magistrates, by James Barstow, Esq.

4thly. Reports of Cases in the Court of Common Pleas, by Martin Chas. Burney, of the Inner Temple, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. 5thly. Reports of Cases in the Courts of Exchequer and Exchequer Chamber, by Montagu Chambers, of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., Barrister-at-Law.

6thly. Reports of Cases in the Bankruptcy Court, by Charles Sturgeon, of the Inner Temple, Esq., Barrister-at-Law."

7thly. An Annual Analytical Digested Index to all the reported Cases determined in the several Courts of Law and Equity, and in the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts; with Consolidated Indexes, from time to time as may appear advisable, upon the plan of the Consolidated Index to all the Reports for the years 1822 to 1828 inclusive, already published.

8thly. An Abridgment of Statutes, from time to time, as early as possible after they are severally passed; abridged with so much accuracy and discrimination as to give all the material parts of all material Statutes VERBATIM; with the Marginal Notes prefixed, by way of Index to each important Statute, as heretofore. 9thly. A Monthly Bankrupt List.

Each year's Publication is intended to comprise the Reports of four Terms, the Publication for the year 1832, commencing with Michaelmas Term 1831, and ending with Trinity Term 1632; and the Work will be published in Monthly Parts, each containing 100 or 104 closely-printed quarto-sized pages, in two columns, as heretofore; price Five Shillings each Part; which Parts will be published Monthly, commencing with January; but if in any year the Work should not be complete in Twelve Parts, the supernumerary Part or Parts will be published at the same rate, aud as near to the close of the year as possible.

Considering the increase in the number of Courts, the decisions of which will be now reported, it is probable that the Monthly Parts will in most years exceed twelve. The expectation is, that they will fluctuate between Twelve and Fifteen. To this, however, the Proprietor pledges himself, that the supernumerary Numbers beyond Twelve, shall never exceed Two, unless the extra matter should extend to a further hundred pages; and that the Fifteenth Number shall complete the Year's Publication, whatever may be its bulk, at no additional charge beyond the Five Shillings; except as to the occasional Consolidated Indexes, which will be treated as Independent Numbers, distinct from the body of the work.

The Law Journal' will be published for the Proprietor, by E. B. INCE, at No. 5, Quality-court, Chancery-lane, (to whom all Communications are requested to be made, postage paid ;) and may be had of all Booksellers.-Complete sets of the Law Jourual' from its commencement may be obtained.

**The Numbers will be sent as heretofore to those Gentlemen who have been Subscribers to the Work, until an arrangement has been made for their being otherwise supplied.

OBSERVATIONS on PROLAPSUS, or

Falling Down of the Lower Bowel.. With Cases and Plates.

FECTING SOLUTIONS of the CHLORIDE of SODA and of LIME. Prepared of uniform strength, according to the Formula of M. Labarraque, of Paris.

BEAUFOY and Co., of South Lambeth, London, feel it their duty to caution the public against the danger of using Chlorides of uncertain and variable strengths and qualities.

The safe and ample directions for using Beaufoy's Chlorides, are not applicable to any other preparations, unless precisely similar to those made in their Laboratory.

The public safety demands a public declaration that these Directions have been copied, and are affixed by the venders to Chlorides quite different in every essential particular from Beaufoy's preparations.

Beaufoy's genuine preparations according to Labarraque's formula, are easily distinguished by their peculiar Label upon the Wrapper, which should be examined to see that it has not been opened.

Sold by all respectable Chemists and Druggists; of whom may be had, gratis, an account of some of the properties and uses to which these Chlorides have been successfully applied.

Price of the Chloride of Soda, 3s. 6d.; of Linie, 2s. 6d., quart bottle included, with Directions for dilution, caution, and use, inclosed within the sealed wrapper.

Beaufoy's Chlorides are not liable to stamp duty; the venders of Beaufoy's Chlorides are consequently exempt from Stamp Office Informatious.

STOMACH COMPLAINTS.

R. HENDERSON'S STOMACHIC VE→ GETABLE ELIXIR.-Having suffered severely from stomach complaints, Dr. Henderson was led to turn his attention to the study of the subject. To the use of this medicine, when all others had failed, he and many others are indebted for com. plete exemption from pain, and restoration to health. To those whose bowels are habitually slow, and require the occasional use of laxatives, and for general Family Use, it has a decided advantage over all other medicines; inasmuch as it is safe, pleasant to the taste, and will appease the stomach when nothing else will rest upon it; and never loses its power-the same quantity al ways producing the same effect. It may also be mixed with food or drink of any kind, without oppressing the stomach, or losing the salutary effect on the bowels. It has been tried in every possible variety of stomach complaint, and found uniformly beneficial.

Prepared by Dr. Henderson, Perth, whose name is subscribed in red ink on each outside label, and sold by Messrs. Butler, Chemists, Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's, London; Princesstreet, Edinburgh; Sackville-street, Dublin; and their Agents in the Country; in half-pint Bottles at 2s. 9d., and pints, 45, 6d.

NEW PEERAGE.

Post 8vo. Price 14s. bound.

CRITICAL NOTICES.

"This work derives great value from the high authority of Mr. Lodge. The plan is excellent: and the work brought down to the last creation of Peers."-Literary Gazelle.

"A work which corrects all errors of former works. It is the production of an herald-we had almost said by birth, but certainly by profession and studies-Mr. Lodge, the Norroy King of Arms. It is a most useful publication."-Times.

"Mr. Lodge's Peerage must supersede all other works of the kind, for two reasons: first, it is on a better plan, and second, it is better executed. We can safely pronounce this to be the readiest, the most useful, and exactest of modern works on the subject."-Spectator.

"Of all the improvements hitherto adopted, that which Mr. Lodge has introduced in his new Peerage, is undoubtedly the most important. By separating the changing from the permanent records of noble families, in other words, the living from the dead, he has accomplished what by any other means appeared impossible, the giving, in a single volume and at one half the usual cost, a complete account of the present nobility and their families. It will now no longer be necessary to purchase and re-purchase the Genealogical history, when a corrected Peerage is required, Mr. Lodge, by his admirable plan, having entirely relieved the purchaser from a tax at once so unnecessary and perpetual."-Morning Chronicle,

"The production of Edmund Lodge, Esq. Norroy King of Arms, whose splendid Biography of Illustrious Personages'stands an unrivalled specimen of historical literature and magnificent illustration. Of Mr. Lodge's talents and qualifications for the task he has here undertaken, we need only appeal to his former prodactions. One volume contains the Genealogy of the Peerage, while the other gives the Peerage as it now exists, with all the collateral branches-their children-with all the inarriages of the different individuals connected with each family.”—John Bull.

"Mr. Lodge's new Peerage may be fitly denominated a work in every respect perfect in its kind-there is not a question respecting the nobility and their families, which it does not answer instantly and most satisfactorily. There can be no doubt but that wherever the work is seen, it will be adopted, especially in Public Offices and Professional circles, as well as among the higher ranks, who will, we apprehend, feel more than satisfied in possessing so accurate and distinguished a chronicler as the author of the Illustrious Portraits,' a work which evinces so intimate an acquaintance with all that belongs to their ancestral history."-Morning Post.

"This is the only complete work of the kind, and no library should be without it. The plates are beautifully executed, and with respect to the manner in which the Peerages, &c. are written, we may, without dattery, congratulate Mr. Lodge on his style as well as his accuracy."-Courier.

"The admirable plan on which this work is constructed, is fully explained by Mr. Lodge in his preface, which he dates from the College of Arms'-the fountain head of heraldic intelligence. We have no doubt but that his work will speedily be as much and as constantly in use as the 'Court Calendar,' or any of those other works which are in daily request as books of continual reference."Standard.

"This work should form a portion of every English gentleman's library. At all times the information which it contains, derived from official sources, exclusively at the command of the author, is of importance to most classes of the community-to the antiquary it must be invaluable, for implicit reliance may be placed on its contents."--Globe.

"We can most conscientiously report upon the accuracy that is displayed in the composition of these volumes. In matter they are valuable to commoners of all degrees, as well as to the aristocracy, and in appearance they are fit to be placed on the most costly table, even within the chambers of the palace itself. They look like what they are-records of the nobles of the land.”—Atlas, London: Printed for SAUNDERS and OTLEY, Public Library, Conduit-street; and may be had of all Booksellers and Stationers throughout the Kingdom.

REVIEWS

Briefe eines Verstorbenen, &c.-Tour in Germany, Holland, and England, in the years 1826, 1827, and 1828. By a German Prince. Vols. III. & IV. Stuttgart, 1831. THE remaining volumes of this work have been received from Germany, and though it might have saved us cost and labour, had we waited until the London publishers brought out their translation, we, thinking only how to gratify the readers of the Athenæum, shall perform that labour of love ourselves.

account alone, of our acknowledgments; though, at the same time, we cannot but join in the regrets of the Edinburgh Review, that talents and acquirements like those of the lady alluded to, should be applied to such an, ephemeral work as this, from a conviction that the time is not yet come, when national prejudices and a vitiated literary taste would give way before the vigorous beauty of German genius, so as to reward the toil of the translator.

We open our extracts with some account of the Travellers' Club," into which the Prince was received as a visitor-and which he treats just as well as any of the private families who opened their doors to him :

"In the absence of society, the several clubs, to which foreigners have now the privilege of admission, are a great convenience. The Ambassador has procured me the entrée to two of these, The United Service Club,' where, excepting members of the Embassy, only military men, and, indeed, among these, none but field officers are admitted; and the Travellers'

Club,' in which every respectable foreigner, provided with a proper introduction, is received; but the mortifying rule, by which the admission must be applied for at the expiration of three months, and this with the most rigid adherence to the day appointed, can hardly be reconciled to one's notions of courtesy.

"In Germany, we have as little idea of the elegance and comfort, as of the strict adminis

tration of the law in these clubs."

conveys, we really cannot see anything so vastly irreverent-let the words have been employed in what sense they will. But the Prince is absolutely furious with the lady in question. "Is it not," he exclaims, "in the highest degree surprising, that our German great ones, who are pretty well provided with pride and morgue towards their countrymen, should treat every English person as their equal, let him be ever so undistinguished in mind, merely because he is English, without making the least inquiry as to whether the said person has, at home, any station which could justify such condescension?"
