Patron'sed by the Plinio Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, &e. "In its appearance there is a gentlemanly neatness, and an ab sence of all unsightly vulgarity. It has met - with the highest appro bation in the Ceurt circle."—(See Morning Post.) This invention is an over-coat, adapted for a variable climate, composed of the purest Llama wool. The fleece of this singular animal is naturally repellent of water, yet is amply porous to admit a due escape of bodily heat, and is allowed to be lighter, softer, more durable, and more elastic, than any other description of cloth. Registered Paletots of this fabric, in colours black, blue, brown, olive, Oxford grey, &c., are to be had of their recognised agents in the eountry, and in London only at the extensive ware-rooms of the Patentees, who are tailors to the Court, and makers of the most fashionable plain dress garments, with Foreign and British diplo matic and regimental uniforms. In these the same spirit for mo derate prices is maintained as exemplified by the Registered Pstlitot. The patronage so generally bestowed on this patented invention, has induced some unprincipled persons an attempt the fraudnlent imposition of assuming a similarity of name; being an attempt to deceive the public with some trashy substitute. A. reward of Fifty Pounds is offered for the actual detection of an Infringement. Messrs. Nicoll think it due to their own reputation thus respect fully to cannon the Public, and to request a close observance of the address, and that each Registered Paletot is distinctly marked on the inside, 11.

And, therefore, dearest coat I I think it best To fold you up and pop you in thy chest. Good bye, my worthy coat ! good bye! good bye I". (And here he wip'd a tear-drop from his eye). " Well," said the garment. "If it must be so, It can't be help'd ; but I regret to go. Of course you'll haste to MOSES for another; At MOSES' mart I've . many a worthy brother.

From among numerous testmonials, the °Rowing is respectfully submitted: — "TO MR. THOMAS PROTIT, 29, STRAND, LONDON. " h, Cooper-street, Manchester, March 12, 1842.

WESTON, EXECUTORS OF EVERS V. LADD. In this case the executors of a Mr. Evers, deceased, sought to recover a sum of 7,0001. from the defendant, Major Ladd, nephew of the deceased. It appeared that deceased was in • volved in a Chancery suit, which he was apprehensive would go against him, a result that would embarrass him very much ; that he withdrew from his banker a sum of 7,000/., which he had in notes; and that shortly before his death he sent his maid servant to c.. 11 his nephew ; that she returned with him ; that in her presence, in the bed room, the deceased handed defendant a sum of money, saying, at the same time, "Take this as a gift, and let nobody know that you have got it;" that defendant took the money, and after the death of the deceased he consulted the servant as to where he should conceal the money, and that he ulti mately concealed 6,0001. in the mattress, and changed one of the 1,0001. notes for 1001. notes; that a search was made for the money after the death of the deceased, but defendant denied all knowledge of the money; but it was found in a mattrass, and lodged in a bank. 'The executors now sought to recover the money, and contended that it was never given to the defendant as a gift, but had only been entrusted to his care by the deceased as a safe place of deposit for it.

Mr. Martin and Mr. Ogle appeared for the plaintiff, ani Mr. Jervis and Mr. Peacock for the defendant. This was an action brought for the recovery of the sum of 640/. 95., for goods sold and delivered. The plaintiff is a wine and spirit merchant, and the defendant an extensive wine merchant, carrying on business in Mincing-lane. It appeared that, in the year 1844, the plaintiff sold, through his broker, a quantity of brandy to defendant, to recover the amount of which this action was brought. Defendant pleaded that the debt accrued to the plaintiff under the firm of John Ray and Company„ and that it was not a personal debt, and that, consequently, he was not liable. The point on which the whole case turned, was whether there was a real partnership or one only in form existing between defendant and his nephew, his . reputed partner at the time the transaction took place. The case occupied the whole day, and a number of `vi nesses were examined on both sides. The LEARNED JUDGE, in summing up, said that the only question for the consideration of the jury was whether a partnership really existed between defendant and his nephew, or not. If there was, the defendant would be entitled to the verdict; but if not, the verdict must be for the plaintiff; The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for plaintiff fur the full amount of the debt, 640/. 9s. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT, Carlisle, Feb. 23. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) John Hobday, a thick-set, powerful man, with a shock head of hair, and a deep gash in his cheek, giving him a very ferocious appearance, was put to the bar, charged with cutting and wounding Dennis Salmon, with intent to maim him, to disfigure him, and to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Matthews conducted the prosecu tion; the prisoner (in the absence of Mr. Ramshay) was de. fended by Mr. James. Mr. KNOWLES stated the case to the jury. He said the prisoner and prosecutor were both engaged in the works of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, and the circumstances which had resulted in the present trial arose out of some disputes which the jury were, no doubt, aware had arisen between the Irish and English labourers on the line. He regretted to see, from his instructions in the present case, that some of the persons engaged as workmen on that line seemed to think their Irish fellow-subjects were out of the pale and the protection of the law, but they must be taught that they were all on an equality in that respect, and that they all, as they owed obedience to the law, were under the law's safeguard. After detailing the facts of the case, the Learned Counsel proceeded to call the several witnesses. It appeared, that in the beginning of the present month, in consequence of some serious disputes between the English and the Irish labourers on the line, it was arranged that the Irish should be employed to the north and the English to the south of Penrith. About Penrith, however, they were a good deal mingled. On the 11th of February a number of the Irish had assembled and gone to Eamont-bridge for the purpose of bringing away their effects there, and their wives and children. They did so peaceably and without outrage. The following day a number of English " navvies," from 2,000 to 3,000, entered the town of Penrith. The yeomanry were called out, and for some time succeeded in preserving the public peace. They were called off, however, in another quarter, and immediately a number of the " navvies" pro ceeded to a house kept by a person of the name of M‘Levi, where several of the Irish were lodging. They tried to break open the front door, but failed. They then went to the back, and succeeded in effecting an entrance. The Irish men had concealed themselves in various parts of the house, but were palled out one by one, taken down stairs, and beaten most severely, four or five of them being left insen sible on the ground. Among the most active was the pri soner at the bar, who, conspicuous by his long hair and shaggy beard, had headed a large body of " navvies" in their entrance into Penrith in the morning. The prosecutor was left insensible. He had two severe cuts on the head, his elbow was shattered, and the upper part of his body one mass of bruises, Verdict, Guilty.—Sentence . deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. William Challis, tobacconist in the Hackney-road, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having criminally assaulted Jane Wilson, a child 12 years of age. The complainant stated, that as she was proceeding home at 9 o'clock on the preceding evening, the defendant, who was standing at the door of his shop smoking a cigar, stopped her, and induced her to enter the house under the pretence of sending her upon an errand. He next led her into a room at the back of the shop, instantly threw her down, and, in spite of her resistance, succeeded in perpetrating the offence imputed to him. The defendant then promised her ss. if she would not mention his, conduct towards her, and placed 18.6 d. in her hand, but she indignantly flung it upon the ground, and a customer having fortunately entered the shop at the moment, she availed herself of this interruption to escape into the street, where she informed the first woman she met of the treatment she had sustained, and requested to be led home to her parents. Elizabeth Blake, the woman just referred to, proved that the girl, upon leaving the defendant's, house, accosted her in a state of great distress and alarm, and having informed her of the circumstances, she conveyed her to the house of her aunt, who returned with her to the defendant, and gave him into custody. Mrs. Esther Bostock, a lodger of the defendant, deposed that at the time of the alleged assault she heard the cries and sobs of a child in the room beneath her; and the con stable who apprehended him stated that on reaching the house he found a crowd of several hundred persons assem bled in front of it, amongst whom were numerous women, who threatened to tear the defendant to pieces, and altogether expressed such exasperation against him, that the witness was compelled to procure a cab and the assistance of several other officers to enable him to convey Challis in safety to the police-station. _ _ Upon being asked if he wished to say anything in answer to the charge, the defendant declared that it was altogether destitute of foundation ; but Mr. BROUGHTON expressed his opinion that a clearer case had never come under his notice, and said he had no hesita tion whatever in committing the defendant for trial, but as the depositions could not be taken that day, he must be brought up again upon a future occasion for that purpose. LAMBETH. Frederick Minton, a master tailor, residing at No. 3, Hal ford-terrace, Penton-place, Walworth, who has been in cus tody for several weeks, on a charge of cutting the throat of his wife, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry for final examination. There are several circumstances attending this case which render it ono of a very peculiar character. In the first place an aged woman, the mother-in-law of the prisdner, and who was a most important witness, has been found dead in her bed since the prisoner's apprehension and his examination in this Court. In the first place, notwithstanding the force of the evidence, the wife herself declares her husband perfectly innocent of the charge, and asserts that her own was the hand with which the wound on her throat had been inflicted. The circumstance took place on the morning of Sunday, the 25th of last month. Mr. Otway, the gentleman 'who was first called in, and under whose treatment the prisoner's wife has nearly reco vered, expresses it to be his decided opinion that Mrs. Mun ton had inflicted the wound herself, and speaks of the situa tion of the wound itself, being in front of the throat, as in a great measure confirmatory of that opinion. Mr. Hewitt, a surgeon, who had been called in by the po lice, gives a different and opposite opinion. The latter gen tleman thought that if Mrs. Munton had attempted the act herself she would have commenced the wound further back, on the left side. Having once commenced, - he (Mr. Hewitt) did not think she could have left off so soon as appeared to have been done in the present wound. On going to the sta tion-house he requested the prisoner to strip, and found a number of scratches on his person. Three fingers on the left hand were cut across, apparently by the cut of a hard-pointed sharp instrumented. There were no other marks about him, but he was much discoloured with blood all over, especially his feet. His shirt, both the front and sleeves, were satu rated with blood. The prisoner said he could account for this. He said he was in the habit of sleeping without his shirt occasionally, and was going on to say something fur ther, when Inspector Collier and himself (witness) cautioned him, and told him he had better say nothing about it. Mr. HENRY remarked, that it was not the duty of an officer to check or prevent a prisoner from any statement he might think proper to make, though such appeared to be the pre vailing opinion. Their duty, as frequently expressed by the Judges, was to hear anything a prisoner chose to disclose, but not by questions or conversation lead them to makestatements which might be again used against them. Mrs. Munton, the prisoner's wife, was next examined.—She is a tall, middle-aged woman, was very pale, and seemed very weak from the excessive loss of blood and the effects of the wound, which it appeared is nearly healed. Upon being sworn, she, in a low tone, deposed that she had been mar ried to the prisoner for about three years, and, with the ex ception of a few words about business, which they so on ma d e up aga i n, they lived happily together. She was subjected to an unusual flow of blood to her head, and this disturbed her mind a good deal. On the morning of Sunday, the 25th of last month, she got out of bed from her husband for the pur pose of lighting the fire, and while she went along the pas sage, her mind became so distressed that she could not tell what her feelings were. There was something going before her which excited her very much, and said, " You must do the rash act !" She then went into the kitchen and got the razor. She was at the time in a dreadful state of madness, and gave one cut in the passage and the other in the room. She imagined, for she was not sure, she called her husband, who was in bed, and he came to her assistance. 'While she lay on the floor she was unconscious of what passed for a short time, and until she heard her mother's voice when asking "who had done it?" and she, witness, merely shook her head, as she could, not speak. Mr. HENRY—Are you sure you did not point to your hus band and say, "He did it?" Now be careful, Mrs. Munton, and don't answer the question hastily. Mrs. Murton, _with some animation—l am quite certain I did not point, or say so, as I could not speak at the time and I merely shook my head. I have nothing further to, say, but that my husband is quite innocent, and that I did it myself. There had been no scuffling in the passage. Mr. HENRY—One of the surgeons examined swears to some scratches being on the person of your husband. Do you know how he became so scratched ? Mrs. Munton— Oh, my husband was in the habit, when I let my nails grow, of asking me to scratch his back, and I did so some weeks ago. Mrs. Munton denied having had a quarrel with her husband of any serious nature, or any dispute beyond a few words on business since their marriage, and then they soon made it up again. The sister of Mrs. Menton, a respectable married woman, contradicted the latter part of her sister's evidence, de clared that the prisoner was frequently in tte habit of ill using her, that her sister had, on many occasions, com plained of his ill-treatment, and being black and blue from his violence, and she actually saw the prisoner ill-use her herself. Arthur Joy Vesey, a little boy, ten years of age, the illegitimate son of Mrs. Munton, said that for some weeks before Sunday, the 25th January, he lived with his grand mother and uncle, in the house of the prisoner. On the Thursday night before the 25th lie slept in the same room with his mother and the prisoner. On that night the pri soner came home about one o'clock, and from that time until o n; o s r e n i i s n so g rs t h w e t p h ri i e c r it g o t l ie m s u n t uff ti e 4 d snutf a candle , the morning they nev er ceased quarrelling. In the course of the candle burnt in the room, an d w h en lie did so he placed 'a pair which h t o t h h e i y s close throat, and told his wife he should do for him.• Nis mother replied that there would be no occasion for that, as she should take her boy with her, and should either drown or hang herself. Mr. HENRY remarlyd, that taking the whole of the evi dence into consideration, he should send the case before a jury and leave it to them to say whether they believed the statement of Mrs. Munton, or whether she was not giving a false colouring:to the case in order to screen her husband from the charge.

SOUTHWARK. William Dunn was placed at the bar before Mr. Cotting ham, charged on suspicion of being concerned with breaking into the house of Mr. Joseph.Aniold, near Romford, in Essex, and stealing 80 , . in Bank of England notes, 40 sovereigns, besides a gold watch and other property. Mr. Arnold stated that on the flight of the 19th of iiovem ber on the morning of the 20th, his house, called Whalebone Cottage, in the parish of Dagenham, Essex, was broken into and plundered of the abov e p roperty. The house was only occupied by him, his wife, and two servants, and was situated in rather an unfrequented part of the country. He kept an excellent watch-dog, but the thieves effected an en trance by breaking the pannel of the back door, and having obtained an en' ry they proceeded to the dining parlour, in the cupboard of which was an iron chest of prodigious strength and weight, affixed to the place where it was kept, which was the depository of the above property. Notwithstand ing its cumbrous dimensions the chest was removed by the thieves to a field at a considerable distance. By the side of the chest was discovered the body of the watch-dog, which, there was every reason to believe, had been killed by prussic acid. The money contained in the iron chest principally consisted of 51. Bank of England notes, and immediately after the robbery the complainant gave notice at the Bank to stop any of the numbers, should they be presented. Owing to that notification, he was apprised that some of the stolen notes had been paid in, but he failed in tracing the parties until a few days since, when one of the Si. notes, No. 24,564, was stopped, which, en inquiry, was ascertained to have been paid in by Messrs. Fuller, h av i ng b een rece i ved by that firm from a butcher living on the south side of the water. The bank note in question was produced and identified by Mr. Arnold. A butcher named Randall, living in the London-road, was then called, and he stated that about a fortnight ago, to the best of his recollection, the prisoner, whom he had previously known about the neighbourhood, called at his shop, and, in payment for a joint of meat, tendered the 51. Bank of Eng land note produced, on which he (witness) wrote the pri soner's name, which enabled him to identify it. In reply to questions from the MAGISTRATE, The prisoner said he had taken it of a man in Smithfield, for a black horse, about three weeks since. He did not know the man's name. The transaction took place at Gardener's public-house, and, to the best of his knowledge, there were three or four other men present, two of whose names were, he thought, Fox and Ferrand. People who attend Smith field were obliged to take notes from strangers, and he took the one in question in the usual way of business. Policeman Terrick, 26 M, having stated that the prisoner was tried some time ago for robbery, and that upwards of twenty of his associates had been transported within that period, _ Mr. COTTINGAIM said the character he had just heard of the prisoner, coupled with the fact of a stolen bank note, the produce of a daring burglary, being traced to his possession, decided him in the determination not to accept of bail for the prisoner's future appearance, and that he should therefore remand him in order to give time for the production of other evidence against him.

THE NEW PALACE AT WEST MINSTER. The following particulars, relative to the building familiarly known as the New Houses of Parliament, but which has lately assumed the above appellation, have been derived from authentic sources, and will probably prove interesting to the reader, detailing, as they do, the progress of this great national undertaking. We com mence with The River Front, containing the committee-rooms and libraries of both Houses, with the Speaker's and other residences. This is now completed externally, and the whole of the scaffolding; removed. It is also ready in ternally for the fixing of the finishings, which are being proceeded with elsewhere with great rapidity. We next come to The House of Lords, 'a building that fir gorgeousness of appearance will not be surpassed by any edifice to be found on the Continent. The house is covered in, anti the windows, twelve in number, glazed. The ceiling, a most magnificent piece of workmanship, is finished, and the effect is grand in the extreme. We may venture to say that there is nothing in London or even in Eng land equal to it in richness of design or elaborateness in ornament. It is composed of panels and emblazon meats, the centre of each panel being a shield or crest. The panels are painted in a variety of rich colours, and the emblazonments are gilded. The upper part of the wall will present a stone facing, but the lower part, reaching to the windows, will be lined with oak wains cotting, which we understand has been prepared, and only awaits more favourable weather to admit of its being put in its place. The elaborate nature of this oak panelling is almost beyond the powers of description. It is entirely covered with carving of the most exquisite workmanship, th e armor i a l b ear ings of the different Peers being introduced in the numerous panels. The throne, with its appendage and canopies, all of oak, is is a state of great forwardness. The carving is of a most magnificent character, and is equal, in point of enrichment, to any Gothic screen-work seen abroad. All this elaborate wood-work and decoration are being prepared by Messrs. Grissell and Peto, the contractors for the erection of the New Palace, upon Government premises at Thames Bank, which have been fitted up at great costfor the express purpose of expediting the work. The large windows in the House of Lords, in each of which there are eight compartments, will be filled in with stained glass, representing the portraits of the kings and queens of England and Scotland. Between each window are niches for the re ception of the statues of those barons who compelled King John to sign Magna Charts, in the field of Runnymede. A model statue, about six feet in height, representing the celebrated Prelate Langton, has been fixed in the centre niche on the east side, a n d the effect is very fine, and is said to have elicited Prince Albert's approbation on Friday. Over the throne are three large panels, most lavishly decorated, and which are intended to be ornamented with frescoes. The hatk of the Strangers' Gallery will also be decorated, it Is believed, with frescoes. From information we hav e re ceived, we have every reason to believe that tbr,, House of Peers, the Peers' and Commons' libraria-a, and the committee rooms will be ready for use atout the middle of next session. It should be statza that the floor of the House of Peers will be of perforated cast-iron of a very peculiar character, Victoria Hall is roofed in, and in a state of great for , wardness. This hail will contain the chief statues of eminent men that have existed during the last 200 years; and also fresco paintings of historical subjects. It will have a parquette flooring—that is, a flooring composed of various descriptions of oak, with a very rich border. This hall will be used as an ante-room to the House of Lords. The 'Victoria Gallery, the robing, and guard rooms, the royal landing, the latter having a most exquisitely grained roof, enriched with bosses, and lighted from above, are all roofed in, and the access from them, is nearly cemplete, to, The Victoria Tower, which is now 65 feet in height. Its large and magnificent arches have been completed some time; and the staircase, from the tower to the royal gallery, is arched in with stone. The stone carvings of the gateway are not only numerous but majestic in ap pearance, and two lions, in stone, in an upright position, and fixed on either side of the gateway, have a very imposing appearance. The next twenty feet of the tower to be erected will, according to the model prepared by Mr. Thomas, from designs by Mr. Barry, be one mass of elaborate earring. In the front, or Abbey side. will be nine niches, as at present contemplated, contain ing the statues of ancie n t ki ngs an d queens, the centre niche, which is directly over the gateway, being occupied with a statue of the Queen. The frontage, towards Millbaek, will b e t rea t e d in the same manner; and the two other sides will be enriched with stone carvings. Above this height the carving and decoration will be continued, but not of so lavish or prominent a character. The House of Commons is nearly ready for the root, which is itself in readiness for fixing. The interior fit tings of the House will be of oak carved, but not so ela borately as the panelling in the House of Peers. Th e completion of the House is expected in 1848. The, residences of the Sreaker and other officers of the House of Commons are also roofed in, and in a forward state, The clock tower and the new Palace-yard front, i n connexion with it are at present 60 feet in height, St, Stephen's Hall and porch, which will le;rm the , main principal entrance to both houses from A.'oingdon street, where the principal entrance to the House of Commons now is, has just been commenced, and the stone work is in course of fixing, the outside being similar ins appearance to that of Palace-yard, In concluding this account, it may not bo uninteresting to state that the New Palace will, when completed, occupy the area of eleven acres. This fact in itself will show how great must be the labour and responsibility incurred by Mr. Barry, the architect, and the contractors, Messrs. Grissell and Peto, whom we should state, employ nearly 800 men on the works, under the superinter,d. °rico of Mr, Allen, and 200 more in the establisly a nena at Thulies Bank, preparing the internal fittings. !AULA.Y. The Edinburgh Chronicle publishes the following let ters from the Right Hon. Mr. Macaulay: the first being a reply to Mr. David Greig, on the subject of the mili tia ; and the second an answer to a letter from the Secretary of the Committee for the liberation of Frost, Williams, and Jones Albany, London, Jan. 30, 1846. " Sir,—You quite misunderstand my sentiments about the elective franchise. I never in my life said that you who have no votes were not interested in the public weal. God forbid' My reasons for objecting to universal suffrage are very different. I believe that the non-electors areas deeply interested as I am in the security of property and I the maintenance of order ; but I believe that a very large portion of them do not understand their own interest, and might easily be induced, by the pressure of immediate distress, to act in opposition to their own in terest. That this is so, I have proof under their own hands. I refer to the petition which Mr. Duncombe presented to the House of Commons in 1842. In that document some hundreds of thousands of Chartists asked for the franchise, and told us how they meant to use it. They avowed that their objects were national bank ruptcy, confiscation of the soil, of canals, of machinery —in short, the destruction of all property. I was firmly convinced, and ain firmly convinced, that such measures would produce indescribable misery to the great majority of the petitioners themselves. I refused them the franchise, not from disregard of their interests, but from the same feeling which would lead ice to refuse a razor to a man aho told me that he wanted it in order to cut hip throat; and I assure you that I have never inquired of any inhabitant of Edinburgh who complained to me of a grievance whether he e as an elector or not. " And now to the main subject of your letter. I shill give my best consideration to the measures which may be proposed respecting the militia ; but I must frankly tell you that my conduct will be guided by principles which differ widely from yours. I hold defensive war to be lawful and necessary. I conceive that the State has 'a right to call on ever y c i t i zen to b ear a part i n protect i ng his native soil against assailants. That the exertion and burden ought to be reduced as much as possible, and divided as fairly as possible, is quite true. But I sus pect that all the inconveniencies which even a vexatious enrolment can produce would be small indeed. when compared with the misery which would be caused by the appearance of a hostile armament in the Forth. " I cannot at all understand your scruple about joining a protection society. You pay taxes, I presume, di rectly or indirectly. You must he aware that a,' large part of those taxes goes to support the regular army and navy. Now, if - Ott may law fully contribute the support of a kind of force which has been, and may be, employed in offensive war, surely you may, without any twinge of conscience, contribute to the support of a force which is, by its nature, strictly defensive, and which is not likely ever to shed' a drop of blood, unless danger of the most fearful kind should come near to our own hearths. I persuade myself that your aversion to the use of arms does not go to such a height that you would hold yourself morally bound to see Edinburgh sacked by invaders without striking a blow fur your home and family. Now, the militia is meant to be peculiarly a security against invaders. It is not an instrument of aggression. You must, therefore, admit it to be, as com pared with the regular army, an innocent institution. If, then, you refuse to pay anything towards the militia, while you are paying the soldiers and sailors who have just been fighting at Buenos Ayres, I must say that yon strain at a gnat and SVI allow a camel. " If you have any special hardship to complain of, it shall receive my best attention. "I have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, " T. B. MACAULAY." " Albany, London, Feb. 16, 1846. " Sir,—l cannot agree with you in thinking that the law has, as respects Frost and his accomplices, been thoroughly satisfied. Consider what they did, and what they have suffered. They raised a rebellion, which you admit to have been unjustifiable—led thou sands of ignorant labouring men into guilt and danger —fired on the Queen's troops—wounded a magistrate iu the discharge of his duty —caused the deaths of several unhappy creatures—and would, if their. at tempt had not been stopped in the outset, have caused such a destruction of life and and property as has not been known in England for ages. This is their offence. What has been their punishment? Transportation for about five years—a lighter punish ment than has been inflicted on many poor lads for picking pockets. You disclaim very properly all pro jects of insurrection. But rely on it that there will be insurrections enough, if turbulent and designing men are apprised that the penalty of raising a civil war is henceforth to be less than the penalty of robbing a hen roots. Thinking this, I cannot hold out any hope that I shall vote for any address in favour of these great ci iminals. "I have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful servant. "T. B.

EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF DROPS Y BY HOLLOWAY'S Pmts.—Emma Williams, a servant livingwith Mrs. Smithers, Oldbarn-road, Manchester, had lately become of such a size from dropsy as to appear, to use her own expression, as big as a butt. Every usual treatment Was tried, but without effect. In this sad state she had recourse to Holloway's Palls, and by them the water was entirely removed from her system, and an effectual cure perfected in about six week s . These pills were lately tried upon two dropsical patients, discharged as incurable from one of the largest hospitals in London, and they also were both shortly cured by this famous medicine. Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hollo way's, 244, Strand, London. ENLISTING FOR THE ARMY ON SUNDAYS. --Mr. Trafford, the stipendiary magistrate at the New Bailey, has recently refused to attest recruits who had been enlisted on Sundays.
