ment.

The lovers of adventure in strange and romantic situations, far from the busy haunts of men, are about to be gratified by the Narrative of Captain Skinner's "Excursions in India." The author, we understand, proceeded from Calcutta through the Sunderbunds to Dinapore, visited the once-famous city of Delhi, Meerut, and other places; and, crossing the Himalaya Mountains, arrived at the sources of the Jumna and the Ganges. His voyage of 1200 miles up the latter river in small boats was attended with considerable loss of life.

The scene of the forthcoming novel, called "Fortune Hunting," is said to be chiefly at Leamington, and the work will present, we understand, a picture of the ruses adopted at fashionable watering-places by needy adventurers on the look-out for women of property.

Mr. Thomas Arnold is about to publish, under the title of " Dramatic Stories," a series of stories of various countries, which are likely to prove unusually attractive. The scene of the principal tale (Godwin and Goda) is laid at that period of our history, when the Saxons were involved in the most obstinate and bloody struggles with their Danish invaders." Alberic the Godless," "The Impostor," and "Schelmkind," severally said to be German romances of extraordinary merit.— "Leonessa," an Italian tale, "Life in Death," and "The Conscript and his Dog," both French stories, are, we have heard, the titles of the remaining stories in Mr. Arnold's volumes.

"The Prairie," by the American Novelist, corrected by its Author, is now added to his other productions already published in "The Standard Novels." In the present work the reader beholds not, as in "The Pilot," the majestic ocean spread out before him; nor dees it present the immeasurable shade of deep and trackless forests, nor the quiet of mountains untrodden by human footsteps, as in "The Pioneers," but interminable meadows, covered by long grass, sublime from their magnitude and their remoteness from human habitations. Yet even these level wilds become interesting from the power with which they are delineated. A single rock which may serve for an encampment-a little hollow, marked only by a stunted tree-a small grove of tangled underwood, (all scenes of the most striking events in the tale) stand out in bold relief, and hold a place in the recollection as realities which we have visited on some long-past journey.

JEREMY BENTHAM.

This eminent and excellent man died at his residence in Queen-square, Westminster, on the 1st of June. During the late unhealthy season he had been subject to repeated attacks of bronchitis, but as he had recovered from them with so much vigour, it was considered by many that he would return to his former health, and he again received the visits of distinguished foreigners and of public men with whom he was in the habit of friendly intercourse, and it was believed he would have been able to continue his labours for several years to come. Several days before his death he had taken up the portion of his manuscripts for the third volume of his unpublished Constitutional Code, which is reputed by jurists, who are acquainted with its progress, to be one of the most valuable of his productions, as it contains the principal for the formation of a judicial establishment and a code of procedure. Another attack of his disorder, however, arrested his labours for ever. His death was singularly tranquil. Only a portion of his works have been printed; and of those printed, some which have been spoken of by eminent men as the most valuable, such as the "Essay on Judicial Establishments," have never in reality been published. Repeated proposals have been made to publish a complete edition of his works. A few weeks ago the Prince Talleyrand, who at all times, in common with the leading spirits of the age, has professed his high admiration of the author, made proposals to get a complete edition of all his works in French published in Paris. A short time before his death he had projected a new work on language, and one on mathematics. Amongst the unpublished works is one on the use of language, with a view to the giving certainty to the expression of the will of the Legislature. Some, if not all of these works, will, it is expected, be edited by gentlemen well conversant with the branches of science and art to which the works relate, and will at some future time be made public, in a complete and uniform shape. Besides those which were edited by the late M. Dumont, others of his works, which are little known in England, have great reputation on the continent of Europe, and in North and South America. He was the son of Mr. Jeremiah Bentham, and was born at a residence of his father, adjacent to Aldgate Church. He was remarkably precocious as a child, and soon after he was three years of age he read Rapin's History of England as an amusement. At seven years of age

he read Telemaque in French. At eight he played the violin, an instrument on which, at a subsequent period of his life, he became remarkably proficient. He was very distinguished at Westminster School, and at thirteen years of age he entered the University of Oxford.

The most prominent moral qualities which appear in Mr. Bentham's writings, are love of justice, and hatred of imposture : his most remarkable intellectual endowments, a penetrating deep-sighted acuteness, precision in the use of scientific language, and sagacity and inventiveness in matters of detail.

Many incidents of his early life mark the extent of his connexion with the last century. He was accustomed to relate with great pleasure, that when he was a boy, he was taken to drink tea with Hogarth, whose works he greatly admired. He was one of the class who attended the lectures of Sir Wm. Blackstone, when they were delivered at Oxford, and young as the mind of Bentham was, it even then revolted at the reasoning of the professor. As a law student, Bentham took notes of the speeches of Mansfield; and he was a member of the club ruled by Johnson, whom he never liked, considering him to be a gloomy misanthrope. He entered upon his profession with a prospect, amounting almost to His faa certainty, of the highest success. ther's practice and influence as a solicitor was considerable, and his (the son's) draughts of bills in equity were at once distinguished for their superior execution. In one of his pamphlets (Indications respecting Lord Eldon,) Bentham thus notices the circumstances which led to his retirement from the bar:-let every honest lawyer read it :

"By the command of a father, I entered into the profession, and in the year 1772, or thereabouts, was called to the bar. Not long after, having drawn a bill in equity, I had to defend it against exceptions before a Master in Chancery. We shall have to attend on such a day,' said the solicitor to me, naming a day a week or so distant, warrants for our attendance will be taken out for two intervening days; but it is not customary to attend before the third.' What I learnt afterward was-that though no attendance more than one was ever bestowed, three were on every occasion regularly charged for; for each of the two falsely pretended attendances, the client being by the solicitor charged with a fee for himself, as also with a fee for 6s. 8d. paid by him to the Master; the consequence was-that, for every attendance, the Master, instead of 6s. 8d. received 17.; and that, even if inclined, no solicitor durst omit taking out the three warrants instead of one, for fear the not-to be hazarded dis

pleasure of that subordinate judge and his superiors. True it is, the solicitor is not under any obligation thus to charge his client for work not done. He is, however, sure of indemnity in doing so it is accordingly done of course.

These things and others of the same complexion, quit the profession; and, as soon as I could obtain my father's permission, I did so: I found it more to my taste to endeavour, as I have been doing ever since, to put an end to them, than to profit by them."

in such immense abundance, determined me to

In the year 1825 he went over to France for the benefit of his health, and was received with all the respect and enthusiasm which the French people always pay to men of superior mind. On one occasion, whilst in Paris, he casually visited one of the supreme courts. He was known on his entrance, when the whole body of the advocates rose and paid him the highest marks of respect, and the court invited him to the seat of honour. He corresponded with nearly all the most able statesmen of his "We understand," says the Examiner,' from which we have chiefly abridged this article, " that he has left all his correspondence, and a considerable portion of his auto-biography, for publication, to Dr. Bowring, his chief executor, to whom he also committed the whole of his manuscripts, with the charge of giving to the world a complete edition of all his works, including those which are yet in manuscript. His principal works are

time.

"Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation; the Fragment on Government; Rationale of Judicial Evidence,' in five volumes, including a very full examination of the procedure of the English Courts; the Book of Fallacies;

the Plan of a Judicial Establishment,' one of his most finished productions, printed in 1792, but

never regularly published; bis Defence of Usury; Panopticon,' a work on prison discipline; and many others."

Mr. Bentham was a bencher of Lincoln's Inn, and was the father of the bar. In conformity with the desire of his father, he practised for a short time in equity, and was, as we have stated, immediately remarked for the ability he displayed; but the death of his father left him with a moderate fortune, and the free choice of his course of life, when he immediately abandoned all prospects of professional emolument and honours, and devoted the whole of his subsequent life to those labours, which, he be lieved, would produce the greatest happiness to his fellow-creatures. His extreme benevolence and cheerfulness of disposition are highly spoken of by all who had the honour to be admitted to his society, which was much sought after; and also by his domestics, and by his neighbours who were acquainted with his habits. The news of

the Reform Bill having been carried, greatly cheered his last hours.

“Mr. Bentham," observes the True Sun, "was an old man, with venerable white locks, social and cheerful, robust in body, and promising a still longer life; but it is always impossible to say, in highly intellectual men, how far the spirit of life is kept up by the mere vivacity of the brain, and subject to abrupt extinction from causes of accident or weather. His appearance, both in the amplitude of his look, the flow of his reverend hair, and the habitual benevolence of his smile, had a striking likeness to Franklin; and, on a hasty glance, the busts of the two might be confounded. He had all the practical wisdom of one of the sages of good sense; took exercise as long as he could, both abroad and at home; indulged in reasonable appetite; and, notwithstanding the mechanical-mindedness with which his Utilitarianism has been charged, and the suspicious jokes he could crack against fancy and the poets, could quote his passages out of Virgil, like a proper Éton boy.' He also played upon the organ, because he possessed, on the border of which looked the more poetical in him, lived, and had set up a bust against his garden, a house in which Milton had it in honour of the great bard, himself an organ-player. Emperors as well as nour, but he was too wise to encourage their other Princes have sought to do him hoadvances beyond what was good for mankind. The Emperor Alexander, who was afraid of his legislation, sent him a diamond ring, which the philosopher to his immortal honour returned, saying (or something to that effect) that his object was not to receive rings from Princes, but to do good to the world."

It was a part of the will of the late Mr. Bentham that his body should be devoted to the purpose of improving the science of anatomy. So determined was he on this point, and so resolved to secure its execution, that he expressly warned the three friends to whom he entrusted this delicate matter, of the difficulties they would have to overcome, and the obstacles they would have to encounter, and then asked them if they would undertake the task? They pledged themselves to see his intentions carried into effect, and the result was, that the body was laid on the table of the Anatomical School, Webb-street, Borough. Dr. Southwood Smith pronounced a spirited eulogium on Mr. Bentham. He adverted to the source of those prejudices which the last act of Mr. Bentham is so well calculated to remove, and ascribed them chiefly to the aversion men have to behold
