A Preparation of unparalleled success, from this inesti mable plant, recently discovered by Mr. Humphrey. It puri- Ses and cleanses the blood, strengthens the stomach, invigo rates the constitution, affords certain and speedy relief to flatulency, loss of appetite, drowsiness, giddiness, nausea, heartburn; and in all cases of indigestion, headache, stomachic, bilious, or nervous affections is unrivalled. Its preparation is personally superintended by Mr. Humphrey, and its immense sale is the locality of his residence is the best proof of its efficacy. A scientific and laborious research for the benefit of a private patient and valued friend led to its discovery ; its wonderful properties induced the Proprietor to extend its salo for the benefit of the afflicted. Without descending to the quackery of saying it is a cure for all disorders, yet the virtues (if the camomile are so ,kil fully extracted and combined with other invaluable medica ments, as t• render it the most perfect remedy discovered for the above disorders. . . ttgr Observe the genuine have the Proprietor's name writ ten on the Government stamp in his own haniwriting.

AS Manhood approaches, the h uman f orm , coun tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra pidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating - image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob. structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state relict is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the exper.se of health, that being only palliated which should have been effect ua lly cu red. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison. and to restore to its wonted energy evr,:ry relaxation of the generative economy, whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood shall have become impaired ; e q ually contemning unfeeling empy. ricirm, which with reckless ignorance destroys where a should re store ; and, on the, ; other hand, that unworthy prtric4ile" whose proud selfishness i acreases the embarrassment ofithe afflicted All classes of society, , the Angla-Indian particularly, and those whose constitutions are enfeebled by the effects of a tropical climate, as e Ilas such as, are about to enter int matrimonial life, are included in the limits of this address, and to all we confidently offer the result of ror.r.y years' successful practice.

Clarke, an extensive tailor, who employs from 800 to 1,000 people, was brought bAbre the Lord Mayor and Alderman Kelly, charged with having pawned two new coats, which were entrusted to her by her master, the prosecutor. Mr. Aenis, a pawnbroker, was summoned to attend with the property pledged ; and the great object of the prosecutor was, whether the Magistrates could not com pel the pawnbroker to give up the property to the owner without the alternative of a prosecution. A great deal of interest was excited by the case. - William Merchant, who stated that he was in the em ploy of Mr. Clarke, the prosecutor, identified the two coats produced by the pawnbroker's servant, which he had given to the defendant to make, and which were to be returned when made. Instead of returning them, however, the defendant pawned them at Mr. Annis's shop fur 18s., on Saturday last, and, in acknowledging that she had done so, stated that she mentioned at the pawn oroker's that she was too late to take home the work to Mr. Clarke's, and that she wanted the money to carry her over Sunday. The money she was to have received for the work was 6s. 6d. Now witness submitted to the Lord Mayor, that the pawnbroker, not having exercised due caution in making inquiry about a person of so poverty-stricken an appearance, might be compelled to give up the goods, independently of the prosecution of the prisoner, whom Mr. Clarke did not wish to punish with severity, particularly as she was in an advanced state of pregnancy. It was necessary to observe that the prosecutor always received security from persons em ployed as the prisoner - was, that the work should be duly returned. • The LORD MAYOR—Do you mean to contend that you can recover against the pawnbroker or the prisoner ? • Mr. Merchant said he meant to contend that the pawn broker knew that the pawning was illegal ; for it could not be supposed that garments of that description could have been honestly possessed by such a woman. Those who received 20 per cent. for their money had a right to use discrimination. Mr. Heath (the pawnbroker's shopman), 'said that Mr. Annis had very fairly offered to give up the goods, with the loss of half the money, but the offer was rejected. With respect to judging from appearances in taking in articles, no reliance was to be placed in that mode of discriminating, for many persons in very mean apparel dealt largely. Besides, it was not known to the prosecutor that the woman had the coats from Mr. Clarke. The LORD MAYOR—Does Mr. Clarke mean to prose cute the woman ? Mr. Merchant—Certainly ; for the sake of the trade he must. I should state that it is the constant practice of pawnbrokers to say to persons in the prosecutor's condition, " What is it to you ? You can come down on your security if your goods are pawned." I admit that ; but then Mr. Clarke considers himself conscientiously bound to protect the security he receives. If a summary conviction before the Lord Mayor be con sidered sufficient to oblige the pawnbroker to restore the property, why then Mr. Clarke will be satisfied with that conviction and a slight infliction of punishment upon the defendae; but if not the Old Bailey will be re sorted to. rff a case of the kind before the county Ma gistrates the summary conviction was declared to be ade quate, and the goods pawned were delivered up. Mr. Hobler said that the decision of the county Ma gistrates happened to be made under the Metropolitan Police Act, which did not extend to the City, and that the offence charged was a misdemeanor, and not a fe lony. It must be proved, too, that the pawnbroker " knowingly bought or took in the goods," of which there appeared to be no direct evidence. Mr. Merchant did not accuse the pawnbroker of any thing but not having exercised the necessary caution. The Loan MAYOR said that he should convict the de fendant, and sentence her to pay 21. Es., and the fine of ten shillings for the heavy offence she had committed, in default of which she should go to Bridewell for a month. At the entreaty of Mr. Merchant, however, the impri sonment was limited to fourteen days. Mr. Heath requested to know what was to be done with the clothes which had been pawned ? Alderman KELLY advised the pawnbroker to give them up to Mr. Clarke without any demand. Mr. Heath appearing very reluctant to deliver up the property without receiving part of the money at any rate, Mr. Hobler said—Suppose Mr. Clarke brings an action against you, how will you defend it ? Mr. Merchant—lf the clothes are not given up, the prosecutor will most certainly bring an action in trover for the money. The coats were then handed over to the prosecutor, and the defendant was committed to Bridewell. that gentleman three weeks ago under the apprehension that the family would discover the pregnancy, and that slit. then came to London an d t oo k lodgings in St. Martin's lane. Before entering the service of Mr. Fletcher she became acquainted with a man named James Bennett, a private in the Coldstream Guards, now stationed at Charing cross Barracks. On Monday last, having obtained leave of absence, he promised to take her into the country to visit his friends. With this expectation she accompa nied him to a public-house in the bent-road, where left her, with a promiSe to return immediately. Find m g that he did n o t return s h e m ade inquiries, anc learned that he had gone into the country without her. Despair and grief at her forlorn and abandoned situation at. length impelled her to attempt self-destruction. Ho father, a farrier, residing Issington, in Hampshire. was wholly ignora n t of her deplorable . condition, and she had no friends in London to whom she could apply for bail.. The unfortunate creature, who seemed to fee. deep contrition at th e attempt s h e m ade upon her own life and that of her offspring, was, instead of being com mitted to the county gao l, sent to t h e wo rkhouse, where she is to be kept until herfriends are apprisedof her situation. Mr. Cottingliam gave Henderson a letter to the Secre tary of the Humane Society, recommending him strongly as entitled to the reward for saving the life of a fellow creature. DEPARTURE OF LORD FOR- TuscuE, (From the Dzthlu post of Thursday.) His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant held an undress Levee this day, which was numerously and most respect ably attended. From eleven o'clock carriages continued to arrive until nearly twelve, at which hour his Excel lency appeared ia t....-__State , apartment, accompanied by the Officers of the WnisehZld. company were assembling in the ante-room, and during the ceremony of presentation, the most general topic was that of high ad miration of the public career of his Excellency among a large majority, while a considerable portion of those pre sent, being of Conservative principles, were as liberal of their expressions of respect for the amiable private cha racter and virtues of the man, although they were op posed to his political opinions. Taken altogether, the expression of public feeling which took place this day was one of the most flattering and gratifying compliments that ever was paid to any Governor who presided over the destinies of Ireland. In the course of the presentations his Excellency crm ferred the honour of Knighthbod upon Nicholas Fitz- Simon, Esq., Magistrate of Police, and formerly M.P. for the King's County. Shortly after one o'clock his Excellency left the Castle on horseback, accompanied by his Aides-de-camp, :and followed by a train of private carriages and gentlemen on horseback. The cortege, composed of a vast number of carriages and other vehicles, arrived at Maretirno, the seat of Lord Cloneurrv, where the Countess of Fortescue and the Misses Genie awaited his Excellency's arrival, and then proceeded with it to Kingstown. Opposite the Jetty the Shamrock steamer was in readiness to receive their Ex cellencies, who immediately went on board. Lady Burke, of Marble-hill, and several other ladies were also on board to take leave of the Countess Fortescue. At a quarter past three o'clock the steamer left the quay, amidst the cheers of a numerous and fashionable assem blage on the beach. THE GAMIN (STREET SCAMP) OF PARIS. (From the Physiologic du Flaneur.) The' gamin de Paris" is an easy, laughing, joking, lazy gourmand, as fond of public spectacles as an an cient Roman, and a "flaneur" (lounger) of the first w&ter. Such are the leading characteristics of the gamin de Paris. It is, however, in the quality of "flaneur" that we shall here principally consider him. The " gamin," as we understand the meaning of the phrase, is an idle apprentice, a child without instruction, with no home and no money, who, utterly forgetting the er rand upon which he has been sent out, wanders along the streets apparently without an object, lounges before shop -windows (especially if they contain eatables), makes grimaces at the inmates, who regard him with suspicion—fait des niches aux passans, or, in the words of the immortal Tom Ingoldsby, " puts his thumb unto his nose, and spreads his fingers out," at every person who passes. Two other favourite occupations of this young gentle man—if a " flaneur" can be said to have an occupation at all—are teasing dogs and riding behind coaches. He is very fond of sweatmeats and sugar-plums, almonds, alacampagne, and almost every article to be found in the shop of a grocer or confectioner is in great danger of coming in contact with his fingers if the window be an open one. His character has many negative as .well as . positive qualities ; but one of his most striking de ficiencies is his 'Avant of ready money. Of that ho never has any. He is luxurious, but poor. There is a compensating principle acting throughout the works of nature, by which the deficiencies of the weak are made up by the strong, and the light on this side counterpoised by heavy on that. The " gamin" has no money, but he has wit and cunning ; and the presence of these make up for the absence of the other. Thus, when attracted by the savoury odour of smoking hot dainties or the sight of tempting sweetmeats, does he pass the shop which presents them to his view, merely because he has no money ? Not at all ! All the rays of his intelligence converge into one focus—to obtain if possible but a taste of these delicacies; and he will, for example, drop his piece of bread into the gooseberry tool (gelee de groseille), and apologise for the "acc ident! ' Or he will ask the price of the plums, the figs, the sugar candy, the nuts, peppermint drops, or the almond sugar plums—and at each question taste the article he is " cheapening," and conclude by postponing the purchase sine die. The shopkeeper, who with the "gamin de Paris," holds the same relative position as an ox does with the flies which tease him in warm weather, finds some difficulty in resisting the tendencies of his tormentor ; for he is the most indefatigable fly in the world, No matter how often he may be shaken off ; again and again he settles upon his ox. Do you descend from your horse, the " gamin " is by your side in an instant, and offers to hold the bridle in your absence. Does your carriage stop — there he is to put the flap of his waistcoast over the muddy wheel. He is ready to carry home the flower-pots which you hare just purchased " for her ;" and he will show the stranger the way to the postoffice—his hotel—or the Bourse. Are you overtaken by a shower of rain and standing' under' a gateway, he volunteers to run for a coach. In short, he will do anything or everything to gain the " cinquante centimes" necessary to his happiness—his existence ! Outside the theatre you will find him laughing and rollicking, and inside calling to the performers to speak louder, or not so loud, according to his humour. Lastly, you will find him at all accidents, executions, mattes, fetes, public or private, national, royal, or n'importe quoi ! Ile seems never to sleep, is the most übiquitous and omnipresent being which it is within our powers to comprehend. He sees everything--he is seen everywhere ; and though the most indolent, would appear the most industrious of citizens ! This day is published, in Svo., price 15s. bnards. THE HISTORY OF GUERNSEY.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged an d arouse d b y t hi s supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. from or th de e r p t r o aet o i b ee v s iat e e f the pernicious effects t sure o pretenders h authors h ave f ur a considerable time devoted them se l ves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of th e necess it y o f se doing, they we re further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent s from certain secret practice s can of many disease 3, which arise and undivided attention oto o t n h ly ls b d e acquired by a n ex clusiveepartmeht of medical practice. The numberle ss instances daily occurring, w h ersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer consu mption, which, h owever , when tracedtoaporances of source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully that the princ i p le of the divis ion of labour, i s n'nwhereproves more applicable than in medical p ract ice. We feel n o hesitation in saying that there is ne member of soc i ety b y whom the book w ill not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent. a Preceptor, or a Clergym an . The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease , wh ich, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause , has been . set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astoni s h e d to find, that in nine-tenths of the _ cases of young perso ns o f b oth • h of what is ca lled p ulmonar y cons umption, sexes, who pens heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and respon s ibility of a parent, will, and directed very nueh by perusing . this work, be assisted in investigating and detecting schools, whereby the the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will s ef here find a clue to guide him through the intricate ma wzehen judge, this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charge s , w h a t th e rea l ca u s es of such attack may be , and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

TIMES,L-Little progress is. yet made in the attempt to discover the original fabrication of the Macao letter if the 27th of April, which gave so false a colour to Ole tea market, but as an assistance to the sufferers it nay be useful to mention some facts stated in a letter from a correspondent in Paris, who seems to have pur sued the investigation with a good deal of care. It now ippears that Galignani did not copy the letter from the Semaphore de Marseilles, but that he had himself the origi ial, and that the Semaphore containing the copy of the etter, was not received in Paris till the day after it had appeared in Galignani's Messenger. A coin iarison of the two letters, as they appeared in the ifessenger and Semaphore, has shown that they are riot precisely the same ; for instance, the latter said .hat on the 10th of April several English cargoes were landed at Canton and seized by the Chinese police, while in the former this circumstance is not stated. Galignani's Messenger said "little or nothing is doing in opium south of Formosa," while the Semaphore said, nothing was doing in opium except to the south of For mosa." Galignani, therefore, did not take the letter from the Semaphore, and the conjecture that the editor of the latter paper would be alone able to throw a light on the origin of the affair is now erroneous, as there is no more reason to seek in Marseilles than in Paris. With differences sufficient to show that one was not taken from the other, even in the absence of the fact that the'origi nal letter was in Galignani's possession, they are similar enough in purpose and substance to render it almost be yond a doubt that they had their origin in one common source, from whence the fraudulent communication was made both to Paris and Marseilles. In tracing out this mysterious affair, every hint must be found of the greatest possible utility; and from . the icharactex of Galignani)„ journal, it is to be expected that when the wish of sufferers is made known to him, he will give his assist ance towards the discovery of the fraud. CHRONICLE.—Viewing the Corn-laws in the light of a money question, which is our immediate province, the encouragement which the sliding scale of duties affords to fictitious sales and gambling will be apparent to any one who chooses to turn his attention a few minutes to the great diminution of duty which is pro duced by every shilling of rise of price when the price reaches 70s. After that position is obtained, the trader who has corn in bond obtains a reduction of 4s. per quarter of duty for every one shilling of rise in the price, and for a rise of 3s. in the price, he realises a fall of Os. Bd. per quarter on the duty. Suppose a corn dealer to have 50,000 quarters of corn in bond, and the average price to be 705., which subjects him to a duty of 10s. Bcl., and that the averages can be run up to 735., that will at once produce the minimum duty of Is. Here is a profit to the holder of 22,5001. by the mere raising of the averages from 70s. to 735. per quarter. Under such cir cumstances it is manifest that the dealers in corn have every inducement to enter into combinations and fictitious sales for the purpose of enhancing the price of food, so as to force down the duty to the lowest possible amount. Allowing that the holders should make a sacrifice of 3s. per quarter to run up the averages from 70s. to 735. per quarter, they have still a profit of 6s. per quarter on their stock on hand equal to 15,0001. on the supposed quantity of 50,000 quarters. These facts illustrate the injurious and fallacious operation of the present Corn laws, while the averages are in the ascendant. But when the prices begin to fall, their real poison and pollusion will be most thoroughly exhibited. It will then be de monstrated, beyond the power of successful disputation, that they are altogether bad, radically false, and vicious in principle. There is no possible device by which their inherent vice and error can be eradi cated, except by their repeal. The error lies in their origin, by making the duties on foreign imports depend upon the price at home. If the rule had depended upon the quantity and quality of home growth, then there would have been something like a principle of justice in their composition ; but by the existing sys tem, in the case of a deficient iarvest, and a general in feriority in the quality of British corn, the consumer is starved, because the coarseness of the home article for bids a high price ; and thus, by the increase of the diities, he is excluded from the supply of wholesome food from abroad. He is mocked by an apparent plenty, from low average prices, and consequent high import duties, while wholesome flour is scarcely to be obtained, and only at prices far beyond his means of purchase. The monopolists may tinker and patch at the sliding scale until they are blind ; they cannot cure its faults, which lie at its root and origin, except by its abolition. Under the present system, the quantity deficient is only considered in so far as it may appear in the action of prices. If, for instance, the average prices should decline between this and Christmas to 665. per quarter, foreign wheat would have to pay a duty of 20s. Bd. per quarter before it could be entered for home consumption. --Now, everybody who has seen the samples of new wheats, even the best Essex wheat, must admit that they show a general inferiority in comparison with last crop, and that many of the second- rates are wholly unfit for fool. Yet the comparatively low averages will induce the belief that food is by no means scarce at home, and the supply from abroad will be kept out, or at least very much cir cumscribed, in consequence of the rise in the duties. POST.—An attempt has been made to induce the holders of Spanish Treasury Bonds to enter into the proposition of Senor hull, to accept three per cent. in terest upon them, instead of five per cent., which vas guaranteed at the time of their issue, upon the plea Oat, as the holders of stock had agreed to a reduction to that rate, the unfortunate purchasers of the Treasury Bills ought not to stand out. This is pure sophistry, and the creditors of Spain, either on the one or other security, ought not to sacrifice an iota of their claim on that country. At the period of the issue of the Treasury Bonds, the payment was solemnly guaranteed, not only by the Minister in Spain, but by the Ambassador here ; and the foreign creditor was content to take them upon that guarantee after the home creditor had been paid in gold. They are an obli gation for the dividend due in 1836, since which not the fraction of a shilling has been received for the divi dends due for the succeeding years. If these be capital ised, and the lower rate of interest be accepted for the securities in question, there is no pledge but that a simi lar trick may not again be played. The Treasury bond holders stand in a peculiar position, not only as regards themselves, but if they submit to a reduction as a pre cedent for the Spanish Government further to swindle their creditors by pleading that the holders of securi ties which we have acknowledged ought to be held most inviolable, have agreed to compromise their claims, why therefore should you demur ?" Under repeated conver sions and reductions, the capital will be so diminished that but little will remain to be reduced, and of that, judging from the course hitherto pursued by the Spanish Government, the creditor will not receive anything. It will be time enough to entertain the question of compro mise when symptoms of an effort to redeem the national credit be visible. ADVERTISER.—The case of the Hamburg ship Louise, captured by her Britannic Majesty's sloop of war Grecian, on the ground of her alleged participation in the slave trade, has at length been decided. The circumstances under which the seizure was made were extremely suspicious, and the whole affair has conse quently attracted a good deal of attention, both here and abroad. It is, we believe, the first instance of a vessel sailing under Hamburgh colours having been detained on a charge of this kind, and this alone was sufficient to excite the . curiosity and vigilance of the mercantile community of the wealthy Hanse Town in the assertion of their honour as a body, The Louise was commanded by Captain Boyne, and was overhauled by the Grecian on account of certain suspicious ap pearances, which increased as the search went on. Among other things, the vessel had a much larger sup ply of water on board than could be required by its crew, or than was, in fact, authorised by the Convention ex isting between England and France for the suppression of the slave trade, and to which Hamburgh acceded, we believe, about three years ago. The papers on board were also not of that clear and open character to allay doubts previously raised, though, perhaps, taken by themselves, they would not have justified suspicion. Added to all this, one or two of the parties on board were of Spanish or Portuguese origin, and as the vessel was in the South American trade, there was evi dently every reason for the proceedings of the Bri tish commander. The vessel was taken into Cuxha ven, and last Monday the decision, of which we re ceived a copy to• day, was made known by the Commer cial Tribunal of Hamburgh, and which is to the effect that the Louise is not a slaver, but that under the cir cumstances above detailed, as far as we understand the judgment, the English sloop-of-war was justified in de taining her, but that, taking into consideration the de dosition of Captain Boyne as to his ignorance of any such treaty as that concluded in 1837 between Ham burgh on the one side, and Great Britain and France on the other, for the suppression of the slave-trade, and in which treaty there are certain clauses specifying what shall constitute the grounds of search, such as an exces sive supply of water, &c., the Louise shall be delivered up on payment of the costs of the proceedings. The Borough Sessions took place on Monday last, before W. C. Rowe, Esq., Recorder. The only case of importance was that of a man called Randall, who was tried for making his escape from the borough gaol, which he effected by gagging the turnkey, and tying him to the bed in his cell. Ile then robbed him, and having changed clothes with him, made his escape. He was afterwards taken at Tavistock. He was sentenced to transportation for life. Another prisoner, named Martin, was found guilty of aiding and abetting him, and was sentenced to 15 years' transportation.— Western Times. SOUTIIMOLTON.--ACCIDENT.—OD Thursday, as William Lethbridge, a labourer working on the Comb martin new road, at Noody Cleave, while preparing to blast a rock, incautiously used the iron needle instead of copper, which ignited the powder and caused a premature explosion, whereby he was dreadfully lacerated, and now lies in a precarious state.— Western Times. HANGED ON AN APPLE TREE.--At Shetton Lugwas, Herefordshire, last week, Edwin Brown, being at play with other children, climbed up an apple tree for the purpose of plucking fruit, and, his foot slipping, be fell, but passing through the boughs, his pinbefore, fas tened.round his neck tightly, caught a branch, and sus pended him till he was strangled.

On the parish authorities of St. George sending the fireman to receive the Magistrates' award for attending with the engines on an alarm of fire, Mr. Hardwieke in formed Lacy, who attended for St. George's parish, that his colleague, Mr. Maltby, and himself, had taken the subject into their consideration, and had come to the conclusion that the usual mode of making awards in that Court was not sanctioned by the Act of Parliament. They had taken the opinion of Sir William Follett, who entirely coincided with them. Instead of making the award, as formerly was the case, the Magistrates, for the future, would expect the churchwardens and over seers to institute the necessary investigations, and ap portion the rewards accordingly. This alteration had been made in St. James's parish, and, for the purpose of securing uniformity in the proceedings of the Court, a communication ought to be made to the vestry-clerk and the parish authorities of St. George's, acquainting them with the decision of the Magistrates. Turner, from St. George's, said that it was not likely that the present churchwardens of that parish, Lord Dallaway and the Honourable Mr. Clive, would trouble themselves about fires. They would refer the matter to the overseers, who would refer it to Lacy, who would bring the case before the Magistrates in precisely its present shape. Mr. HARDWICK said he must have the autho rities of St. George's, through their vestry-clerk, made acquainted with the decision of the Magis trates. The Magistrates would in future have nothing whatever to do with the granting of the rewards—that must be the act of the parish themselves, and all the Magistrates a ould do was to affirm what they had done. The case was then postponed. MR. GUNDRY AGAIN.—Mr. Gundry, the gentleman who has recently made himself so notorious by his eccen tricities, was again brought under the notice of the Bench by a respectable-looking female, who applied for a warrant against him. The applicant said she was servant to a gentleman in the Albany, where Mr. Gundry also had chambers. Mr. Gundry had taken offence at something, and had lately pursued a system of annoyance towards her, abusing her grossly and threatening to do her some se rious mischief. Mr. llAnDwicx asked if she had been struck by Mr. Gundry ? The applicant said she had. Mr. Gundry had also threatened to stab her, and had stabbed the door through which she had made her escape in a num ber of places. Mr. fiARDWICK directed thatja summons should imme• iately issue. HATTON GARDEN. A PROMISING FAMlLL—Hannah Jerry and Sarah Judd, her daughter, a fine young woman, eighteen years of age, was charged with stealing in the dwelling-house of Mr. Francis Hancock, butcher, of Thornhill-street, Islington, 12/. in gold and silver, a quantity of jewellery and plate, and much other valuable property. The elder prisoner is the mother of several children, all of whom turned out badly, the danghters having at an early age become prostitutes, and the sons thieves. It appeared that about eight months ago the fascinations of the younger prisoner induced a respectable young man to offer her marriage. No sooner was the knot tied, however, than the bride, having obtained from her hus band sixteen sovereigns, formed an excuse to go out. After waiting with all a bride's impatience till twelve o'clock at night, he went in search of her, and learned that his faithful rib had started, in company with an old flame, to Gravesend to spend the honeymoon, his only share in the transaction being to pay the piper. A few weeks back she took apartments in the prosecutor's house. On Friday last the elder prisoner came home with her, and not long after she was observed coming out of the prosecutor's bedroom, immediately after which the elder prisoner took her departure. Mrs. Hancock proceeded forthwith to examine her drawers, and find ing nearly 100/. worth of property missing, called in two policemen, by whom the whole of the stolen property was found on the prisoners. They were committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—George Woolley, the driver of a luggage-van, was brought before Mr. Cot tingha,mr h , ocmpharsgey, charged of withthe Vauxhall-road. causingthedeath of Mr. Alex ander It appeared that on Friday last the deceased, who was advanced in years and afflicted with deafness, was cross ing the Vauxhall-road, when he was knocked down by a van driven by the defendant, by which his ribs were crushed in so dreadful a manner that he expired shortly after at a surgeon's, where he was carried immediately after the accident. The accused, who immediately gave his address, and apppears by the evidence to have ren dered all the assistance in his power and to have shown also much conedrn at the unfortunate occurrence, was committed to take his trial for manslaughter. Susan Smith, a young female i n a n a d vance d stage of pregn anc y, was charged with attempting to throw her self into the Thames. James Henderson stated that he is a porter at the London and Westminster steam-boat pier, and that on Tuesday morning last, while he was standing on the pier, he observed the defendant walking up and do .vn as if she were waiting for one of the steam-boats. All on a sud den, however, she plunged off the pier int.) the river, and the tide running down at the time she was carried away, and sank twice before he could disengage the boat alongside the pier to go to her assistance. When she rose to the surface the third time he caught her by the hair, and succeeded in preserving her from being drowned. As she was in a state of insensibility she was conveyed to Lambeth Workhouse, in the infirmary of which she had remained until she was considered suffi ciently recovered to be brought to this Court. In reply to the interrogatories of the Magistrate the girl said that she was 19 years of age, and that she lived as housemaid in the service of Mr. Fletcher, que of the pages to the Queen Dowager ; that OA quitted the service THE STAMP DUTIES.—The Duke of Bec ford, having lately purchased Ampthill Park estate, say at 150,0001., the lease and release duty (for Mr. Stew art's Bill works no amendment as to the lease duty) would be 1,0011. 15s. The Duke of Buckingham also purchased an estate, said to be at 63,0001., the stamp duty on which would be 6511. 15s. Now, in each of these cases the stamp is literally a flea-bite, and is wholly unthought of by either party in their advances towards a contract; the concern felt about the single 1,0001, or the 6501., in matters of this magnitude, being as nothing compared with the last 11. in Bill Smith's close bargain of 1501., or the last 10s. in Tom Jones's of 631. ; these have got to look at every pound—nay, every shilling, as of vast importance, whilst the former are wholly unaffected by any such comparative trifles ; but when, in addition to this fact of every pound be coming so much more valuable, or at all events import ant, in proportion as we descend to the contractors upon a small scale, we bear in mind also that these have to encounter a rate of duty falling as dead-like upon their narrowed means as that does feather-like which applies to those of the wealthy : we then have the full measure of injustice made manifest. This very pound, you see, makes no less that five-and-twenty shillings difference in the stamps. "The latter," quoth Bill, " are high enough on 1491. (being 2/. 10s. on that amount) but drat your even 50, that runs the stamps up to 3. 15s. like wink ing." However, poor Bill must have a house over his head if he can, and he gives the 150/. he pays the 3/. 15s. duty, and he hears with wonder how that the great Duke of Bedford has purchased an estate of 150,000/. " Mercy o n us, says Bill, an d h e b eg i ns chalking on the mantelp iece in char acters which no one, save himself, call decipher ; his looks of amazement I'll be h ange d if h e a i n 't got to pay 3,750/. for stam p s. in crease, and earnestness,at 11, tells you, with st u pified but positive " Thou art right in thy chalk, honest Bill, but wrong in thy very natural sup position. The Duke pays only 1,001/. 15s. for the stamps, and hads't thou been made to pay but in pro portion to a great Duke thy hard earned 31. 15s. for stamps would have been reduced to IL leaving 21. 15s. to help out, by its interests, for the yearly duty of 4s. 6d. which thou must pay (but which the Duke has no oc easion to pay) for insurance.—Letter in the Times. st othe TENBURY.—NOVEL PUNISHMENT AND Po- PUIT INDIGNATION. —On la p s e t' st formerly be longing James Tinsley was n to the stoc ks (which have been down a lon g aiNdcudtTfib°rN.zOhnu Sat urday r time), in default of payment of a fine of 55., to which he was adjudged by the Rev. C. Turner, for drunken ness and disorderly conduct, about a fortnight since. During the time the prisoner was undergoing the punish ment, many persons, chiefly of th e l a b our i ng c lasses, we r e assembled to w itness it, and made a subscription amongst them for the prisoner, which would have more than paid the fine, besides treating him to drink, and it was ouly by the persuasion of one of the bystanders that the people were prevented from cutting down the post. — Worcestershire Chronicle. There is no person more conscientious than a thorough bigot, nor one more consistent in his entire career.

FINDING OF A HUMAN SKELETON —As some men were at work on Wednesday in widening the coach road to Mr. Fullerton's Park, at Denaby-lane-end, near Thryberg' they found the bones of a human being. They appeared to be the bones of a man, and the body of which they had formed a portion, appeared to have laid with the face downwards, and with one arm (the right one) doubled underneath it. There were no clothes, buttons, shoes, or anything of the kind near the place; all the teeth were perfect in the jaws, except one. The bones were discovered about two feet from the sur face of the ground, which at that place is covered by a small wood or copse, and is partially enclosed. Mr. Fullerton's lodge was built about twenty-five years ago. and at that time a portion of the fence was pulled up, and a coach road made through the wood from the Tinsley and Doncaster road to Thrybergh Park. The wood was formerly resorted to as a favourite place of encampment by gipsies, and it is conjectured that the , bones are those of one o f the members of that wanderin o race.—She, field Mercury. PRECOCIOUS SIIOOTING.—A boy, teen years of age, apprentice to John Perry, PatteT y i n n o g maker, Darlaston, had courted for some time a w a r y l ley, more than fourteen years old, daughter of johnns to bricklayer, who has lately transferred her affects upon another lad about the same age.

Stafords TOODM.E—A T u CAUSED BY A RUSTY NAIL.—SIN CAsE.—On Friday afternoon an inquisition was GULAA taken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a highly respect ,enot. ae J ur y, at the Blue Posts, Tottenham-court-road, on v i ew of the body of George Veitch, aged thirty-five. Mary Veitch, widow of deceased, stated that, to her knowledge her husband, up to the time of his death, had never had a day's illness. On Monday last, while open ing a window, he ran a rusty nail very deeply into the palm of his left hand, which immediatly swelled to a great size ; nothing, however, was applied, and on the following day his fingers were so stiff as to render him unable to move them. Still no notice was taken, and he subsequently complained of sore throat. On returning home on Wednesday morning, at ten o'clock, he went to bed, and at two he woke up in a frantic state, telling her he had got the toothache, and to fetch a doctor. He soon afterwards died. This evidence having been corro borated, Mr. Wakley said that the evidence certainly tended to show that the deceased lost his life through the injury accidentally sustained in the hand by the rusty nail ; and it was extraordinary that, when symptoms of lock jaw were evinced, by the terrific and violent action of the nerves, causing the fingers to be rigid and stiff, medical aid was not procured ; although, perhaps, it would not have been of any benefit, for to counteract such s ymptoms the whole Materia Afedica had been searched, and all kinds of means to be adopted, but in vain; all ' bad fail 4 Verdict..-" Accidental death,"
