BL IC ANNOTTWCEMINT From the " Htill Advdti - er" of FRIDAY, Mitikri.. lB4B . o e have this week to aniounce an entire change in o Froprie tWsnlP of the " Hull Advertiser." Mr. William Bettison , th e last a spirited Reform Proprietary, dating from the era of the Re form Bill, ceased to have any pecuniary interest in thit Journal iZto thefirst day of March instant. This event, us ually;so important in social and political life of a community, involves in the future co nducting of this Paper no change of persons • ' no modification of 12,0 Ural Principles ; no fresh combination of par ty associations. The late Proprietor had nothing more at heart than that the " Hull A dvertiser " should always he found the fai thful and fearless :Wyo. r l e of lib era l op i n i ons; an d the hands to which he has entru s te d it es never penned a sentence which a Fox , a Gre3, a Romilly, a l _!tekintoili, or a Cobden could have object ed to as favouring mono- ; Poly in trade, inhumanity in law, bigotry in religio n, or corru p tion L o . P arliaroent. He who was the Editor f or the last six y ears, and 7 ! , 0, during the whole of that time, was guided in his treatment of I I f _Public questions by the free and undisputed exerc ise of his own I fettered judgment, is still Editor, and one of the two Proprietors wheat the Paper now belongs. The other has for some years c onducted, the pecuniary business of the office, and will continue to confine himself to what the Chancellor of the Exchequer would call the WaYs and Means " department—an important one in a news- paper office as well as in a Royal Cabinet. To the ge neral reader, therefore there will be little at first besides the imprin t to remind 11 m of a change which has been iorced on the late Proprietor by Cite necessity of extending his regular trade as a bre wer. The most I '. , _factory w a y of placing this before the public will be to quo te Ile following letter from Mr. Betti•on to the Editor : " 18, Charlotte-street, Hull, March 21, 1848. "My Bear Sir,—lt will gratify a very natural degree of public cariosity, and relieve me from more personal questionings than I have time to attend to, if you can make it convenient to announce t his week that lam no longer proprietor of the • Hull Advertiser,' and that the sole proprietorship of the paper is now vested in your self and Mr. Marling. " When, marry years ago, I became one of several proprietors, and in 1844, the sole proprietor of the • Hull Advertiser,' I made up My mind never to part with it, unless to some one as strongly devo ted to the support of true Reform principles as I was myself. The Management of newspaper property was far from being as congenial to my habits as the business of a brewer, wh i ch I inherited frill my father ; but I looked upon the Advertiser' as a public trust, which I felt bound only to deliver to one capable of carrying out the ob jects for which it was first purchased for the Reform party. For six Year s Yon have been its uncontrolled, irresponsible Editor. By the fearless and able exercise of your talents and your industry, you . have obtained for it a larger circulation , and a more commanding Lw anonce than it ever possessed before ; and such is my unbounded confidence in your personal and political integrity, that I believe that I cannot perform a greater service to the Liberal cause than by committing the chief organ of the Liberal party in the East Riding of Yorkshire permanently to your management and direction. You have made the paper a good pr o p ert y , and one with which I should ue very 'loath now to part, but that there is a necessity for very greatly extending my brewing bu siness. M y son Samuel, as you know, has become my partner in that business, and it requirn that all our energies should be employed in carrying it on with spirit. This is an age of competition, in which to do one thing well is enough for one establishment. " In Mr. Marling you have a trustworthy colleague, and a safe nun of business. During his management of the affairs of the Ad 'realm office he possessed, and proved himself deserving of pos sessing, all my confidence. You know his worth, and how to appre ciate it at its true value. • ' "And now, my dear Sir, in severing my connexion as proprietor With the' Hull Advertiser,' it is my earnest wish, as it is that of all my family, that the friendly and affectionate intercourse which has subsisted between us, without an hour's interruption, since the day of yoarßrst appearance in Hull, may be continued on the old ?noting You can hardly represent yourself as less free from all poli tical hilkence, on my part, than you ever were. Let us then retain the old' intimacy so gratifying to us all. Yourself and Mr. Marling have the sincerest wishes of wty heart for your joint success in an undertaking,, in which it would be hard to find two men mere compe. tent foi their respective parts. Indeed, I know 'that your labours Must be crowned with success, if merit meets with its due reward. am, my dear Sir, " Yours very affectionately, " WILLIAM BETTISON. " E. F. Collins, Esq." This letter is all that we could wish—all that the public can rea sonably desire in the way of explanwion of a entinge, which will not be felt either in the political tone or in the general management of the "dull Advertiser." The new Proprietors have few professions L o make, and are c on t ent to rest their success on the exten t an d fide y oftheir endeavours to deserve it. One promise the editor may make to the people. The " Hull Advertiser" will never, under his management, be the tool o f any par t y, or t h e organ o f an y clique or faction — political or religious. It wilt never be found supporting corrupt and ambitiou s men a t t h e expense o f grea t an d e n lightened principles ; nor attacking the foundations of law and order to court an ephemeral popularity. Not that we wish the shadow of doubt to be felt as to our political principles. We are Liberals in the most general interpretation of that term. We are the advocates of Free- Trade—Church • Reform—Law Reform—the supporters of an ex tended Electoral Franchise—of the abolition of the Navigation- Laws —the University Tests—the mockery of Official Swearing— Ca pital Punishments—and f o r the substitution of Peace for Milit ar y principles in the 'government and control of all the nations of the earth. We • and are strongly in favour of a system of Nati onal Educa tion,ittri4 lo ok upon the schoolmaster as the great reg enerator of our 1 / 4 system. It will be our pecul i ar study and our grea test pleasure to co-ope rate With every movement having for its object the improvement of the social and physical condition of the peoplejournal among whom this t,. more especially circulates. Local reforms are, after all, the lin gs which should chiefly occupy the constant attention of a pro vincial press. And here we hope to be well supported by our con temporaries of every shape of opinion. We have no jealousy of rival newspapers, and do not propose to ourselves the employ ment of any Means to dimi n i s h their profits, or curtail their circulation. We can !peak of the success which has attended our own labours without directly or indirectly implying a want of success on the part of our con tealporaries. The great mission of a free press is not fulfilled by the traduction of rival journals, or the vituperative railings and co unter-railings of the organs of adverse opinions. The press, as a great intellectual instil owes a respect to itself inconsistent With those coarse bicke h are never popular but in a semi barbarous state of society. We trust to be pardoned fbr observing that henceforth all our in terests are mixed up with the prosperity of Hull. In assuming the Proprietorship of this paper, we have aimed as much at making our residence in Yorkshire a permanent one, as in obtaining an organ Wherewith to effect some social and political good in our generation. We are happy to say that it would require no increase of our present circulation to make the engagement upon which we have entered a Profitable one. To stand still would be to obtain a remunerative share of success. But, with the blessing of God, we are not destined to enter uperi what, in this ever-advancing world, should be con sidered as a retrograde course. We have arrangements in contem plation, which, when completed, will place us In an advanced posi tion as regards our most enterprising provincial contemporaries. Wherever lurking genius is to be found, it will be our peculiar care to draw it forth, and to enrich the world with its hidden treasures. There is a great abundance of unemployed intellectual wealth in Hull, for which we hope some day to find profitable in vestment. There is also a vast amount of moral and social evil to be remedied, not entirely beyond the reach of newspaper influence. In the way of sanitary reform there is more to be done than would suffice to constitute the twolve labours of Hercules. With these views, and with an earnest determination to do all in our power to redress the real grievan - es of every class and party of our fellow townsmen, we enter upon the more extended sphere of our public duties. We ask from all cxtcns ye support, and generous sympathy find encouragement.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having COM pletely restored the hai ran her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s itegeruttor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle If they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the corab, mace it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A - few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The must delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, peer tea or twelve drops 41 the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hoar. In most cases relief is oertain in ten minutes. It produces 'hair on ehildren's heads in a few appplications. If need on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre- Vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet et testimonials.

The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly re nowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nourish ing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandruff, accelerates Its growth, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest period of human life. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Idustachois, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operations. For Chil dren it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a Beau tiful Head of Hair, and rendering the use of the fine corny unne cessary. Its Invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the whole of the Royal Family of Great Britain, and of every Court of the civilised world ; and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its eflieacy, afford the best and surest proofs of Its merits.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, UMW/LW of Apothecaries' Hail, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, fie. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, he raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could the traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gill, W hi c h when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused . the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on she nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more Importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking , or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualincations that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should he extended. Dr. LA'at EitT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The chair was taken by James Capel, Esq., and amongst the gentle- men present were Mr. Kemble, Mr. Pownall, Mr. lloare, Mr. Drummond Majoribanks, Mr. Edward Majoribanks, the Rev. Dr. Hesser, the Rev. J. H. Hall, the Rev. C. Mackenzie, &c. The enthusiasm of the company on the drinking of the Queen's health was very marked. Whatever may be the opinion of Republicans and rapid Revolutionists, it is evident that doctrines subversive of the peace and order of the country find no sympathy amongst the middle and upper classes of society in England. The same feeling was manifested during the speech of Mr. KEMBLE, who drew a parallel between the character of the English and French populace, at the same time contrasting the stability of the former with the insta- bility and misapplied enthusiasm of the latter. Daring the whole of this gentleman's speech there were long and hearty cheers. The prospects of the charity, as it would appear from ' the statement of the Chairman, are not at the present moment, of the most brilliant kind. The expenditure exceeds the annual revenue, and the public are solicited to lend their assistance to the maintenance of a charity which has peculiar claims upon their sympathy and sup port. The institution commenced its labours with four children only as the recipients of its bounty, and now the number has increased to 370. The permanent income is only 1,500/. per annum, while the annual expenditure is between 7,0001. and 8,0001. The value of the institu tion is seen in its universality, for it is not confined to the inhabitants of London alone, but it is open to all the world. There are at the present within the walls of the institution, Africans, Americans, and Irish. The institution has further claims upon the charity of the public, for its labours do not cease upon the removal of the pupil, but they are exerted for six years after he leaves the asylum ; a supervision which has been found to be productive of the moat beneficial results. Other speeches in favour of the asylum were made by the gentlemen present, all tending to demonstrate its utility, both socially and morally, to the children who are entrusted to its care as well as to the well-being of the community at large. The evening was enlivened by the professional talent of Miss Ranstord, the Misses 'Williams, and several gentlemen of well-known celebrity. The commissariat department was such as is usually found at this famous rendezvous of the great meetings of London, and it gave general satisfaction to those assembled to partake of its excellence. The office of toastmaster was discharged officially by Mr. Harker. The subscriptions of the evening amounted to 1,2001 THUNDER -STOR M AT LIVERPOOL.—A terrific thunder- storm raged in this locality on Sunday last, which, although very short in its duration, caused for 1 the time considerable ala rm . The weather, up to five o'clock on the evening of Sunday, had been remarkably fine, and had attracted consid era bl e numbers of the in habitants to the river boats, which were greatly crowded. At live, however, the low, rumbling noise of thunder was heard in the distance, which grew louder as it neared, until it burst forth in all its viol ence over the town, ac companied by incessant flashes o f lightning, which lit up the whole horizon. The scene several times was most imposing. Tho buildings shook with the effects of the thunder, which, after lasting half an hour, passed away to the eastward, and was succeeded by a heavy rain, The American ship liindostan, at the Victoria Dock, loading for New Orleans, was struck . by the lightni ng; her maintopgallant-mast was slightly injured.

FRENCH PLAYS—ST. JAMES'S. M. Lafont commenced his engagement for the present season last evening, and is just as gentlemanly, as effer vescent, and as full of humour, life, and spirits as ever. He appeared in two pieces—Ler Extremes se touchent, and Le Mousquetaire Gris. The first is a trifle light as air, but rendered amusing by the acting of Lafont and Madame Paul Ernest (a delightful actress, who made her first appearance before an English audience last night, and at once established herself as a favourite) as a brace of lovers who quarrel as lovers are wont to quarrel, are jealous as lovers are wont to be Jealous, and became reconciled as lovers are wont to be come reconciled on such occasions. In the Mousquetaire Gris M. Lafont was full of bustling humour. His drunken scene was admirable. Mademoiselle Baptiste looked the pretty Louise a merveille. Both M. Lafont and Madame Paul Ernest were honoured with an ova tion. The House was well and fashionably attended. STRAND THEATRE. • The long-looked for opera by Auber, entitled Haydee, oy the Secret, was performed for the first time in this country last evening at this theatre. It was originally performed in Paris, at the Opera Comique, in December last, and produced quite a sensation.

Carr in the chair. A report from the mining captain having been laid before the meeting, from which it appeared that a new lode had just been opened, which would require the. removal of the engine at an expense of 3001. or 4001. A statement of accounts was read, from which it appeared that the balance in hand on the 31st of December last was 2,0941. 10s. 5d., and the ore since sold to the end of Feb ruary, 2,1781. Is. 101, making a total of 4,272/. 12s. 3d. The expenditure had been 2,073/. 16s. 5d., leaving a ba lance of 2,198/. 19s. 10d., to which was to be added the amount for ore sold to the 30th of March, 7831. 75., making together 2,982/. 9s. 10d. ' subject to liabilities of 846/. 10s., leaving a balance in favour of the company of 2,035/. 12s. 10d., independent of a revenue fund of 450/. After some discussion the report was adopted, and a di vidend of ss. per share, amounting to 1,250 L, declared A short discussion took place relative to some shares claimed by the Coventry Bank (as the assignees of a Mr. Murray), but it appearing that the scrip was mislaid and the numbers unknown, it was determined to adjourn the consideration of the question. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNING.—The Perlin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Achilles, Captain Soy, arrived here last night, at eleven P.M., atter a most extraordinarily quick passage from Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, and Vigo. She brought mails of the following dates, in charge of Lieutenant John Brown, R.N., Admiralty agent :—Gibraltar, March 25 ; Cadiz, 26; Lisbon, 29; Vigo, 30. The Achilles expe rienced fine weather on the voyage home, and brought 18 passengers, and 729 boxes oranges, 16 packages of specie, 14 cases hams, 3 cases oysters, and 38 packages general merchandise. The Achilles exchanged colours on the 26th with the steam-ship Ilindostan ' steering for Gibraltar. Her Majesty's steamer Polyphemus was at Gibraltar, and her Majesty's ship Howe and the steamers Scourge, Comet, and Jackal were in the Tagus. By this steamer we have letters from our correspondent in Lisbon to the 29th ult. A Ministerial crisis existed, and the Duke of Saldanha was endeavourinptoreconstruct his Cabinet. Nothing of interest had occurred in the Cortes Petition• were preparing against th e G overnme nt plat; for reducing the dividends on the internal debt. Public tranquillity remained undisturbed. DARING BURGLARY AT GAWCOTT.—Thursday morning last, between two and three o'clock, six men, with their face s bl ac k ene d, an d par tl y masked (one armed with a gun or carbine), entered a lone house on the right-hand side of the road leading from the Tinge wick-road to Gawcott, occupied by Mr. T. Caucott, about a mile and a half from Buckingham. Mr. Cau cott was alarmed by hearing a noise in the house, when he directly got out of bed and armed himself with a hay-knife (the only weapon of defence he kept in his room), and on going to the door he was met by a man, who held up a carbine to his breast, and said, " We want money, and money we will have. We have no work or money, and we are navvies." The other men then im mediately entered the bedroom in which Mr. Caucott and his wife slept, and took one 61. note, 265. in silver, six silver tea-spoons (marked "W, S.") eight other plated or German silver tea-spoons, and two larger ones, two silver watches, and two bottles of brandy, the whole of which they decamped with. They had each a candle lighted, and in the room they had to pass through, pre vious to coming to Mr. Caucott's room, there was a bed, the curtains of which, with the coverlid, sheets, blankets, and be d, were nearly all burnt to ashes, and strange to say, the house, which was thatched, was not burned to the ground. The thieves, or one of them, seeing this bed in flames, went back and took Mrs. Caucott in his arms, carried her down stairs, saying, "You shan't be hurt." There is no knowing how they effected their entrance, nor any clue as to the road they took. They left a crow bar behind them.—Aylesbury News. CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY...— Yesterday a general meeting of this society was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the election of two men and two women out of the list of candidates. The chair was taken by B. B. Cabbell, Esq. The directors, in their report, regretted they were unable to propose the election of a larger number of pensioners; but they trusted that, in duo time, through a steady continuance of that support which they had received from the public, not only to increase the number of pensioners to be elected, but that a further increase in the payments to the pensioners would be determined on. The election having been concluded, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman for presiding. GULLING THE NATIVES.—The recent continental disturbances have set the inhabitants of our isolated glens on the qui vice for news ; every traveller is im portuned for tidings, and any statement, however incon gruous, is gratefully swallowed. The other day a tourist was accosted in a truly parasitical manner for news by the shepherd at Achnashean, and, being a bit of a wag, he made the poor man believe that the French had all landed at Loehearron, on their way to Dingwall, and, added he sneeringly—" Your sheep will be all laid low.' The shepherd reported progress immediately—the story was credited—and, ere Sol gilded the summit of Benhee, his sheep and himself thanked their stars that they were safely ensconced in the vales of Torridon.—Ross - shire Advertiser.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 to 5,000 bales, including 3,500 bales American, at 4d.: to s:ld. per lb. The inquiry was better.— Railway Shares continued very dull, and prices were again drooping. There is no news of particular import from the con tinent. Affairs are all .in a disturbed state,' and it is impossible to predict the issue. We learn from Bel gium that there was a proposal to effect a commercial league with Holland. The great establishment of Cockerell, at Seraing, bad solicited aid from the Go vernment. Commerce, despite the abundance of money, is sadly trammelled by the political crisis abroad. Messrs. Wil kinson and Jewesbury report that— " 'The continued and important political events of the past month, which have spread with such rapid strides over a great part of the Continent of Europe, have pro duced an almost total suspension of commercial opera tions for Foreign Account. Importers have freely offered foreign and colonial produce, which has caused prices to rul rather unsteady. Dealers continue to buy largely, but only to supply immediate wants. Money is very abundant in Lombard-street, but the rates for dis counting bills are not so low as they have been, four per cent. being charged for good paper ; the amount of bul lion now in the Bank is above fifteen and a quarter millions, and a considerable increase is expected before the payment of the dividends. "By the arrival of the Overland Mail we have dates from China to the 30th January, and Calcutta to the 7th of February ; at the former place the proclamation of Sir John Davis;to the effect that all British residents were to hold themselves in readiness to leave Canton at a moment's notice, had caused a total suspension of busi ness ; whilst from Calcutta the chief topic of interest had been the wretched state of the affairs of the Union Bank. By the disclosures which have been made the dis trust and want of confidenoe which before existed had been much increased. " From the manufacturing districts the accounts con tinue unfavourable ,• what little is doing is entirely for the home market, foreign orders, instead of being re ceived, have been in many instances countermanded ; could we see a chance of anything like a settled state approaching in political affairs on the Continent, we might safely predict a speedy return to a wholesome demand for our manufactures." The accounts from New York by the line of packet ship Skiddy are of a favourable complexion. The treaty sufficiently e n f c t 3 i w as arranged, and there is a probability that part of the n m t : h p e ald lep to ub M li e c x . Th ico will benefit the English cre . di rs o ontinental accounts are still looked upon as disheartening to induce continued sales of stock,and yet it is not a little singular that speculators, rather than the public, are the sellers, for money stock is positively scarce , and would be more so, but that the bankers and large nera hlders are willing to loan it to the dealers Amidst as an conflictingopinions it is extremely difficult to arrive at the truth, butwe believe . there is no doubt that the general feeling is against natural consequence there the maintenance of prese nt prices, and that as is is scarcely a jobber, broker, or speculator, supe,cuu to lnailtoras parties are , who would some extent in not rather buy th an sell, and fact, has not ac tuall y done so. Thus, quietly buying back—and if so, how Lit that the market still declines? —the "Bear" acc ounts oustand ing must be enormous, and may yet prove dis astrous, if some astounding event on the Continent does not induce a rush of bona fide sellers. The expe rience of former account days shows that while events look threatening or auspicious, the operators for a fall or rise defer most pertinaciously, even to the " spring ing" of the rattle on set tlin g day, the arrangement of their differences. It may not be difficult to restrain the public from buying, even in the fe of the extraordinary abundance of money, but after a fall of nearly 10 per cent., it is not so easy to induce them to sell. Consols for transfer opened at 801, were then done at 81, and are now 801 to 801. Exchequer-bills have been 343. to 375. prem.

He was born in 1783, being the only son of the late John Mey rick, Esq., of George-street, Westminster, and of Peter borough House, Middlesex, by the daughter and co-betr of Samuel Bush, Esq., of Fore House, Herts.

Bay ford and Lewitis, the active excise officers, being on duty in high-street, Southwark, and observing a man of suspicions appear ance loitering backwards and forwards near to one of the coach and van offices, it occurred to them that he had recently delivered or was waiting for a load of goods, and from suspicion of his being engaged in a con traband trade, they entered the coach-office, where se veral packages were lying about. Havi n g exam ined the whole of them minutely, one large box excited their attention, more particularly from the address attached and its general appearance. They accordingly ordered that the box should be opened, when it was discovered that it was but a covering to a large tin case filled with illicit spirits, 30 per cent. over proof. After this revela tion of the contents, of course, no claimant appeared. The o ffi cers then seized the spirits and conveyed them to the excise-office warehouse in Broad-street.
