Sir, —Having for several years past suffered exceedingly from Gout and Rhe•unatism, so much so that I was prevented from following my usual avocations for months together, I was recommended by a friend of mine who had taken Blair's Pill with great success, to try a box, one of which I procured of your 'Agent, Mr. Butler, of Bea conslieid, and which I can confidently assure you had such a won derful effect upon me, that 1 have not had as attack of Gout Or Rheu matism since, which is now fifteen months. You are at liberty to make what use you please of this testimonial in favour of your truly valuable Pills. I remain, Sir, yours very respectfully, JOHN COSHER. The discoverer of this invaluable Specific is - aiirofeision;lwi;n, who, after in Any years' practice and research, has proved, by facts, that these Pills will effectually cure every description of Gout, Rheu- I matic Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago Pains in the Head or Face, &c. They are thus recommended to the afflicted with a confidence, ails ' ing from experience, as one of the valuable results of the improved state or Medial Selene and the only efficient remedy ever discovered for those excruciating 'disorders. In Gout, Itheumati r Gout, and acute Rheumatism, these Pills will have a most wonderful effect, in most cases giving relief from the intolerable pains in one or two hours; and one box will frequently carry off the attack in two or three days, even when the patient has usually kept his bed for as many weeks, and sometimes months. They are equally certain in Lumbago, Pains in the Head or Face, frequently treated as the 'loath-ache Rheumatism of long standing will be perfectly cured by a slight degree of perseverance in the use of these Pills, which re quire neither confinement nor attention during their use.

A private letter from Cape Hayti (St. Domingo), dated the 14th of May. 1842, giving a description of the earthquake, has just been received, and is particularly interesting from being written from the very spot where the calamity occurred, whereas the intelligence already received has come from Port-au- Prince, which is quite in another part of the island. On Saturday, the 7th of May, at about half-past five in the after noon, the city, according to this letter, was laid in ruins, and it is supposed that half the inhabitants were at once destroyed. Shock after shock had followed up to the date of the letter, and at the very moment while it was being written one of the severest had been felt, which lasted nearly a minute, instead of a few seconds, being accompanied by a frightful subterraneous noise, which is generally the forerunner of a shock. Fort Dauphini had experienced the same fate, with the addi tional calamity of the powder magazine having blown up; Gnnaives had been destroyed, but only one life lost ; and Port de Paix, according to a report at the Cape, was annihilated. The writer of the letter describes himself as being in the upper part of his house at the time the calamity occurred, and as having been dug from the ruins, comparatively unhurt, half an hour afterwards. The fallen walls had completely blocked up every street in the city, and to pass along the ruins was a difficult and painful task. Every house having fallen the several inhabitants were so much occupied, each with his own affairs, that mutual assist am-0 was impossible. On the first days the misery of the in habitants was much increased by the people from the plains ruThing, among the ruins for the purposes of plunder, and even murder. Some awful cruelties were perpetrated. In one in stance, a woman had been found among the ruins with her limbs broken, and these wretches, instead of assisting her, tare off her necklace and the jewels from her ears. At the date of the letter the marauders were quarrelling and mur dering one another, and the arrival of several companies of the National Guard promised a stop to all such calamities as did not proceed from merely natural causes. Famine and pes tilence were regarded with the greatest apprehension, par ticularly the latter, which might be occasioned by the number of unburied carcase!. There is a singular fact recorded in this letter, which is , tha t not on e foreigner lost his life, excepting d aFrenchman from Cuba, who sou g ht a r ef u ge f rom hi s cre• it A NICE FAMILY.—A woman of the name of Ock well, in the hamlet of Downampney, Cricklade, Wilts, has twenty-four children, all at home, and the eldest only eighteen years of —Liverpool Journal. EXTRAORDINARY CIRC UNISTANCE.—During the violent storm of Tuesday se'nnight, some agricultural labour ers employed to carry home hay from a field at East Harnham, drove the team from the spot at which they were standing, where no rain had fallen, but when they reached the hay, the shower fell so heavily, or, rather, in such torrents, that the water ruse about them, and they were unable to move. — St Herald. I The following is the Report and Ordonnance on the new linen tariff; extracted front the official Moniteur of Monday last : REPORT TO THE KING. Sire,—Grave difficulties press at this moment on one of our finest branches of industry —the linen manufac ture. The King and the Chambers have heard the ex pression of its suffering, and the Government has con tracted with the Legislature, which has just terminated, an engagement to come to the aid of this great interest. France found formerly in her own production the means of providing with ease for the immense consumption which she .had always had of cloths of flax and hemp, at the same time that she exported to a considerable amount to other countries. At present our exports are sensibly diminished. The imports from abroad, which for twenty years were stationary, now supply us with a constantly increasing quantity of cloths, and - throw upon our markets masses of threads, which in the space of ten years have amounted, from 800,000 kilogrammes, to. nearly 10,000,000, representing a value of 41,000,000 of francs. We have even reason to fear that at the present moment the arrivals exceed in a large proportion all an• ticipations, as well as all actual wants. Such perturba tion, Sire, which is happily of rare occurrence in the history of international commerce, has two leading ' causes. Whilst the importation of cloth is affected in a neighbouring country with an 'entrance duty of 40 per cent,, the mechanical means of linen spinning have been in the same country practised with a rapidity and upon a scale which leave behind all the efforts made by other na tions to participate in the advantages of this great disco very. The results of this revolution in manufactures were naturally calculated to become injurious to us, ac in Fra rice a deep-rooted and extensive practice of spinning by hand necessarily rendered the adoption of the new pro cess less prompt. Our new spinning establishments have not, therefore, - been able to support the shock of foreign competitio n , and several of th em h ave b een com pelled to stop by the continually increasing invasion of rival products. This is not all ; those threads in the pre paration of which the mechanical means employed per mit the use of textile material of inferior quality imported from India and Oceania, are substituted in our linen manufactures for the productions of superior quality of our own soil. The agricult u ri s t s o f F rance, therefore,-be hold the circle of their markets constantly narrowed both at home and abroad, by the invasion of flax and hemp, from other countries, introduced into France, in the state of thread or silk. The ruinous consequences of this state of things extend to sixty-five of our depart ments, in which the different branches of the hemp trade had .hitherto supplied employment to a popu lation, having no other resource. It has become urge nt to apply a remedy. The law of the 6th May, 1841, had already attempted to confine within just limits the competition of foreign threads in th e French markets. De s irous of proceeding in such a corn plicated _question with reserve and moderation, we then hoped that a protection of from 10 to 11 per cent. would be a sufficient guarantee_ for our manufactures. This hope has not been realised. An extraordinary reduction of pri6e, the result of the progress of mechanical spin ning amongst our neighbours, and the use of less expen sive materials than curs, have overthrown the calcula• oils and expectations of the legislator. To check the evil, an impo s rtant augmentation of the present rate of duty—an augmentation which for certain classes will snore than double it—is an indispensable measure. We have the honour to propose to your Majesty to modify in this sense the tariff established by the law of May 6th,. upon threads of flax and hemp. The augmentation of the tariff upon threads necessarily leads to a similar mo dification in that upon cloths of the same materials, for otherwise the equilibrium between the conditions of the two co-relative 'branches would be destroyed, and our spinners would hare to suffer from what should preserve the spinning trade. But it would not be sufficient to place upon cloth the increase now proposed upon thread ; we must also fall back upon the augmentation of duty which it underwent last year, and of which at the time it was not thought necessary to take account. The ordonnance, of which I submit the draft to your Majesty, meets this double necessity. Sire, we. think that the products of a bordering country in which the state of the linen trade more resembles our own, might be excepted from the measures which I have proposed, but the nego tiations entered into with Belgium, in order to secure for us in return concessions in favour of our wines, salt, and silks, not being yet concluded ; we have been compelled to postpone the exception until after the probable con clusion of these arrangements. Some rectifications of the tariff of less importance, and some regulations, ac ccimpany these principal objects of - the new ordonnance. Our seaports will find in them several concessions, et - dated to facilitate the freighting of their vessels, and to encourage diStant enterprise. Thus the arrangements, which we have the honour to submit to your Majesty, at the, same time that they will consolidate one of our oldest branches of industry, will aid in the no less necessary development of our maritime commerce. - • (Signed) L.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: Sin,—Through the medium of your truly independent Journal I wish to draw the attention of the public at largo to the farce that is now playing with, the gold cur rency, just as though the middle and lower classes of the community were not in sufficient difficulties at the present time, with an increase of taxation staring them in theface in the shwa of an Income and Property-tax— a tax of all others the most to be condemned, because not needed ! Yet, with this vexatious proceeding, we have another to accompany it—that is, a complete derange ment of trade by a late proclamation, declaring that gold, under a certain weight, is not a legal tender, thereby inflicting a minors loss on the already half starved mechanic, and as well causing great loss and in convenience to the tradesman. In my opinion a more ill-timed proceeding never emanated from any Adminis tration, Whig or Tory, and to meet this act of the Go vernment Ipropose to the publi c genera lly, one an d a ll, to walk off to the Bank of England and its branches with all the notes they can procure and demand gold that is weight, and by which means we shall see how far their gold will meet the amount of paper issued. Liverpool, June 21, 1842. J. M. HAT .A PLAGUE MY MONEY IS TO ME. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l have struggled hard to save a little money, and on consulting a friend whose head I thought was longer than my own, he advised me to place it in Sir R. Bassett's bank ; I did so, but I had not done so a month when some fiend of evil spread a report,, which caused a heavy run, and I was advised to get out my money and place it at bank. Fortunately I could not get the cash without giving three months' notice, and long before that time expired the bank had failed : at the end of the three months I got my money and interest, and was a:lviied to convert my Bank of England notes into sovereigns, for fear of the former being forged or stolen paper. I now thought myself safe, and though my money was unproductive I thought it would not lose its value, happen what might, and that I had better lose the interest than the whole. Now comes a story that my sovereigns are not worth more than nineteen shillings and sixpence each, and many of them perhaps not so much ; so that in the last three months, instead of mr capital producing interest I have lost by each 1001 ill. 10s. at the least. Pray, Mr. Editor, tell me if this be true, or if this ruse is only played off to favour the banks and bring paper money into credit : it certainly has that effect ; a month since you might have almost 2s well have asked a pernon for five of his front teeth as to give to you five sovereigns for a five pound note ; then all were anxious to get rid of their paper—now all are trying to get rid of their gold ; to get change for a sovereign is quite out of the question, you must sell it at a loss. It was said, from the immense number of failures, that it would be all up with banks and bank paper, that nobody would think of keeping anything but gold ; but we did not then know what a card Sir Robert had to play in the currency game—there never was such a fellow for tricks : pray tell us, if possible, what his next move is likely to be, and you will greatly oblige, Mr. Editor, yours, TOM PIGEON. Newport, Isle of Wight, June 21. FOREIGN STEAM-VESSELS. We have seen, latterly, frequent references, in the English Journals, to the conduct pursued by the autho rities of Belgium towards the boats of the General Steam Navigation Company plying to Antwerp and Ostend. We cannot believe the authorities, however anxious for the prosperity of Belgian steamers, would be guilty of such ingratitude, such meanness, or folly, as to countenance the disgraceful acts complained of. Winter and summer, for more than twelve years, have the Company's boats been plying to Ostend ; it is now two p ears and more that the Company, to give every facility and access to a thriving and commercial town, ran a splendid and powerful steamer, the Rainbow, to Antwerp ; she always performed her voyage in two hours less time than any other boat on the sta tion; her fleetness and beautiful equipment induced many to pass into Belgium by a long sea,voyage, who would otherwise have chosen another route ; tens of thousands have thus passed into Belgium that would never have trod its soil ; the Government must know, and though in general they are not very mindf u l of benefits conferred, still, we think they should not forget that the Company has the means of revenge in its own hands, and can af ford to punish those who would unjustly, ungratefully, injure it. Let the Company reduce its fares one-half to Rotterdam and the Rhine, or to Hamburgh, and charge two shillings to Ostend and Antwerp, how many passen gers will patronise the Government opposition in Bel gium, or land there at all ? We love fair play, we de light in an opposition where the parties are equal, or think themselves so; but every generous bosom, every English man will rise in wrath against an opposition where a Go vernment, forgetful of past benefits, would strive to injure its benefactor, one, too, that patronised it when no other would hold out a helping hand to its wants or distress. Every Englishman, abroad, is under certain obligations to the General Steam Navigation Company. Their boats are safe, well manned, and, in general, commanded by civil and obliging captains; those to this port are particularly so. Faults are found with the charges; we ourselves think that were they lower they would ;gain considerably by it, especially in the summer season; it would also render any opposition hopeless, for when the public think an old friend is only charging a remune rating price, they will not desert him for any new corner. At the same time the public arc justified, when they think their interests injured, to support every Company or every boat which they think calculated to promote their object. Universally, however, the General Steam Navi gation Company are respected wherever their boats have appeared, and we have no doubt that the paltry annoy ance a few petty officials have thrown in their path in Belgium will soon disappear, and the fair play they de mand be wisely extended to them.—Boulogne Gazette.

PARTY PROCESSIONS IN IRELAND.—The Lord Lieu tenant has caused a circular letter to be issued to the Magis trates of the North. on the subject of the approaching anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. Relying upon the good sense of the loyal men of the North, whose experience has taught them wisdom, his Excellency has not issued any pro hibitory mandate against processions or party demonstrations. His abstaining from doing so, it is stated in the official communication, " arises from a confident hope and expecta tion, that a spirit of obedience to the laws may lead to a discontinuance of processions of every kind, which can tend to excite party and religious animosity, and which have been so repeatedly attended with consequences of a disastrous cha racter."

The present re-issue, or fresh coinage of new far thing pieces from the Mint, affords a favourable op portunity for reverting to the foregone history of this minute money-piece, in its application to our trade and exchanges. In all well-regulated Governments (observes Rud ing, the excellent coin -annalist) it is found to be as requisite that there should be money of small value for the use of the market and the poorer sort of sub • jects, as of the larger species for the other puf poses of trade and commutation; and what the value of the smallest piece should be is pointed out by the propor tion the price of provisions bears to that of labour, and to the abilities of the lower class to purchase them. FARTHINGS OF 52 GRAINS.--A farthing, OF the fourth part of a penny, is that of the least value we ever had in England, and began to be coined about the year 1270, under Edward the First, of standard silver, and continued to be minted in this manner for near 300 years. At its first introduction the farthing weighed about 5+ grains troy, and on account of its lightness, there fore, was inconvenient in use, and liable to be lost, which was the reason of the frequent complaints of their scarcity and of the petitions for new coinages of them ; and also a principal cause of the base black coins of foreign countries obtaining a currency among us. ADOPTION OF THE COPPER FARTHING.—It was finally found that the farthing could be no longer minted of good silver, being lost almost as fast as coined ; no other method, therefore, remained of striking them but of base silver or pure copper, and the Legislature not having recourse to either, and they being much wanted for many purposes, shop keepers and tradesmen made farthings for themselves, which, although it was a notorious abuse of the Royal prerogative, was, however, winked at. The coining of these farthings in such quantities, and for so long a time, is, we believe, the only instance to be found of this sort in any State, and appears a strange thing to foreigners. Great disorders having arisen in Queen Elizabeth's time from grocers, vintners, chandlers, alehouse keepers, and all sorts of tradesmen making their own farthings out of lead, tin, latten, and even leather, proposals were made to the Queen, to remedy these nutters, for a coi nage o f copper pledges for farthings, but the proclamation was never published, and the coinage never took place. About the time of James I. the city of Bristol struck a copper farthing by authority, and this became not only current in the city, but in the country for ten miles round, to the great benefit of these places. Worcester and Oxford also struck copper farthings at this time.' In London, we are informed by Sir Robert Cotton (Posthum. 12mo edit., 1679), that there were no l ess th an 3,00 0 persons who made their own farthings. FARTHINGS OF JAMES I. AND CHARLES I.—There had been several proposals and schemes made, for coining farthings by the State upon the coming of King James to the Crown; nay, even three years before the death of Queen Elizabeth, she was again pressed upon this head, but to no purpose, as she de clared she would never consent to a currency of copper money. ii()RD HARRINGTON'S PATENTSHIP.— At length, Lord Harrington, after a variety of proposals had been debated on by the Privy Council, obtained the patent to coin, and he en t ere d in t o covenant w i th the King for that purpose. His Majesty was informed that the grant was worth 60,0001., showing that if 100,000 lbs. weight of copper was coined, it would be worth 90,4001., and, deducting 24,4501. for copper and charges, there would remain 65,0001. profit. King James, therefore, allowed Lord Harrington 25,000/., as it should be raised by the issue of these tokens, and the surplus, if any, was to go to the King:. The coinage of farthings by private per-eon:1 was thus thrown out of the market, and the new far thing coins were ushered in by the King's proclama tion of May 19, 1612. Lord Harrington died February 27, 1614 (Sir Jul. Caesar's MS.), and his son, the second Lord Har rington, a few months after him, and we cannot learn into whose hands the patent came afterwards. King Charles the First, soon after his accession to the throne, published a proclamation, May 30, 1625, con tinuing their currency, and another, June 20, 1634, enflmcing the same. THE FARTHING PANIC.—But the Government proclamation of King James threw the poorer people into great distress, and acted with a far more grinding effect than the present infliction and exaction caused by the light sovereigns. The city of London, and the counties of Kent, Essex, Suttblk, and Norfolk, were so loaded with them, that there was scarce any gold or silver left, and on account of the cheating measures which the Government had recourse to, all the poorer people who lived by selling fruits, herbs, fish, and other such commodities, are mentioned by the histories of the tim e as b e i ng left in a shamefully cruel and destitute condition. It is Conceived that at this period 100,0001. of copper farthings, of the coin age of private persons, dispersed through the king dom, was utterly lost. TOWN AND IRADESMEN'S FARTHINGS, 1648-72. Owing to the great quantity of Royal farthings uttered by the patentees, the number of counterfeits which was also mixed with them, and the patentees refusing to re-change them, at last put an entire stop to the Government currency. The consequence was that private tradesmen, corporate towns, villages, and boroughs immediately began to re-assume the re coinage of their own farthing pieces. Bristol and Oxford again led the van ; Norwich an d Yarmouth followed, and soon the whole hundreds of towns, boroughs, and cities in the kingdom consentaneously did the same. Of private individuals alone, there are now extant farthings with the names of 30,000 different persons who coined them ; and of the leading towns upwards of 13,000. QUAINTNESS or DEVICE.—Some of these farthings had the strangest devices on them imaginable, just according to the whim, whit, or fancy of the di versified coiner. Two poetical ones ran thus : Although but brass, You let me pass. Ana another, equally short and antithetical, was— Welcome you be To trade with me. PARTHIN s oS OF THE COMMONWEALTH.—During the Commonwealth and Kinlr, Charles ll.'s time, a go vernment coinage of farthings again took place, and of course threw the town and tradesmen's out of use. Most of those struck during the Commonwealth de clared the purport of their intended currency to be to facilitate small commutations, or to help the poor ; and the legend of the generality was "THE FARTHING TOKENS FOR THE RELIEF OF THE PORE, ENGLAND'S FARDING—FOR NECESSARY CHANGE." TIN FARTHINGS.—During the reign of James 11., and William and Mary, tin farthings were greatly in vogue, but copper again came into use during the latter part of the last reign, and Mr. Corbet obtained a patent, which was shortly after transferred to Sir John Herne for that purpose. By this patent 700 tons were to be coined in seven years ; government was to be paid 1,0001. per annum, and the profit remaining to the patentee in nine years was, we believe, little short of 18,1001. FARTHINGS OF GEORGE THE FIRST, 1717.—After the troubles, which disturbed the beginning of the reign of George the First, were blown over, or in the year 1717, the subject of the copper money was again taken into consideration, and they were again coined at the Tower. They were lighter than those of King William's, they having 28 pence to one lb. avoirdu poise, instead of 21 pence. The bars or fillets were delivered into the mint at 18 pence per lb., and there appears to have been coined to the amount of 46,0001. sterling, or about 213- tons. CROWN PROFITS FROM FARTHINGS. From an account of the copper moneys coined between Nov. 20, 1729, and Dec. 23, 1753, it appears from the particular rolls made up for the auditors, and sworn before the Barons of the Exchequer, that nearly 800 tons of copper have been coined during that period in halfpence and farthings, bringing in a clear profit to the crown of 17,435/. 17s. 6d. [ADVERTISEBIENT.]-our readers' attention is di rected to the following communication (translated from the German), addressed to Messrs. Rowlands' Agent at Cologne :—" - 13, Streitz-euggasse, Cologne, May 23, 1811.—To Th. S.

I accordingly purchased two bottles at your establishment, and strictly followed the printed directions : in the course of two months my head was covered with fine short hair, which I had cut off, and continued to persevere in the use of the Oil. The result is, that after fire months' perse verance, I can now boast of as good a head of hair as any man in this city. In justice to the inventors I make this acknowledgment, and shell feel great pleasure in satisfying any inquiry.—l salute you with respect, ADAM 13Auutt, Bth Artillery Brigade."—" Rowland's Macassar Oil" prevents hair from falling off, or turning grey ; changes grey hair to its original colour ; frees it from scurf and dandruff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly.—Ask for "Rowland's Macassar Oil." " Consu, BIAY 30.—From motives of gratitude justly due, it is resolved, That the Assembly shall, through its President, express to his Excellency the Right Honourable James Alex ander Stewart Mackenzie, Lord High Commissioner of her Majesty the Protecting Sovereign, its feelings of gratitude to wards him for his beneficial cooperation irreffecting such im provements as have been possible, as yet, in the codes of legis lation." SPEECH OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORI) HIGH COMMISSIONER OF HER MAJESTY THE PRO TECTING SOVEREIGN OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Mr. President and Gent 7 emen,—l congratulate you on the termination of your arduous labours. I trust that themeasures introduced by you, and which have occupied your attention, will prove useful and beneficial to these States. I refrain from any detailed observations or exa mination of thetn. By the permission of my gracious Sovereign, the protecting Sovereign of these States, sent to me after the meeting of the Assembly, I have been authorised to add a new chapter to the Constitutional Charter, and to introduce other important changes on the 6th c h a pt er , w hi c h remove the obstacles that have heretofore impeded legislation. While this concession proves at once the continued anxiety of her Majesty for the gradual advancement of a more perfect system of legislation in future, as well as for the most competent and uniform admi nistration of the laws in these States, it evinces, no less, the confidence reposed by our gracious Sovereign in the lonian Parliament; while, at the same time, increased caution in its future measures ot legislation is by this very concession, ins pose t, as a sacred duty, on the lonian Legislature; for, with out stability in the principles on which laws are founded, un certainty and distrust will be engendered, to the detriment of the national interests. I have, therefore, endeavoured, as I felt it to be my duty, to discourage a hasty departure from those fundamental principles of law recently adopted, in order that such amendments only should be admitted, as have been proved to be necessary ; and such parts only of the codes should be either modified or re pealed, as have been found to be either injurious or inefficient an their operation in the short interval since their adoption. Time and caution can alone perfect the work of legislation. The Civil List, which has been unanimously adopted by the Most Noble the Assembly, will prove to the country that you have felt the necessity of economy. The reductions sanctioned, it is true, do not amount to the sum declared to be necessary to square your expenses with your means, in accordance with the information laid before the Executive Government last autumn. BLit the Executive Government ought to watch and will watch the other exp. uses of the State, and will continue to examine with care, into what departments further economy may be in troduced, consistent with efficiency and regard to long services —adopting as tar as possible a scale of salary commensurate with responsibility and work performed—perhat s diminishing their number, but always selecting fur employment, without faveur, the mast efficient and meritorious among the public servants. The completion of such a work will require time, patience, and impartiality. But without such a revision, unless the financial resources and revenuss improve, lour good faith with theemotecting Sovereign will lie with difficulty kept; nor can you maintain, in their Full extent, your present establishments ; whi , e the want of surplus funds must. continue to arrest all public works, and paralyse exertions for the improvement of the. States. You have, I think, Noble Legislators, wisely given your sanction to the principles of the three Acts of Government re lative to public instruction ; and by passing temporary Ac's for their provisional operation, you have edableel the commis sort to give a fair trial to these details, which necessarily re quire time and experience to mature; while the Inspector's report, now in preparation, the result of lung and careful in gully on the spot into the actual state of the schools in each of the islands, will supply authentic information indispensable to aid the commission in its future measures. My announcement, at the opening of the Assembly, of several important measures for the future improvement of the country has not been followed by their immediate introduction. But I do not regret this ; for, in all cases of amelioration by change or reform, to any great extent, of existing systems, mature deliberation before their adoption presents the only certain means to insure success. When the country is per suaded that those measures, to which I alluded in my address at the opening of the Assembly, are suitable to the wants of the community, and that they will be beneficial in their opera tion of which I entertain little doubt ; when they shall have impartially weighed these and <li.cu.,vd Item, without preju dice or nersonal consideratiuns, truth will eti far rend, that what those measures contain of good will then be adopted, what of bad or doubtful will be rejected. I feel no ground for altering my opinions —being convinced that the influence of sound principles, adopted by the other civilized nations of Europe, will not long be excluded from these States—though with a caution and a more perfect knowledge than I yet pos sess, of the habits and feelings of the people of these islands, would I alone wish to enter on any extensive changes or reforms. Yeur unaiiiirous resolution, just now announced to sue by your President, imposes on me the grateful task of returning you my best and most sincere acknowledgments for the senti ments. expressed by you in a manner so flattering to-me. This valuable eroot of your approbation and confidence will encourage me in my arduous and difficult career ; for I now perceive that any views for the good of the country are fully understood and appreciated by you. • It will always form my highest pleasure, as it is my duty, with your aid and co-operation, to dedicate myself with zeal and assiduity to the advancement of the moral and material in terests of the Jordan people. YOur useful and honourable labours beine now closed. it will be gratifying for you to return into the bosom of your families. My best and most cordial good wishes attend you ; and my must heartfelt desire, that I-rovidence will grant you the enjoy ment ofthat repose which you seek, in the midst of the abun dance of a rich harvest, as the year advances, and in uninter rupted health and happiness. By authority, J. FRASER. • Secretary to the Lord High Commissioner. TRIAL FOR MURDER IN FRANCE. A man, named Seconds, and a female named Julie Phalipon, were tried for murder by the Court of As sizes of the Aveyron, on the 13th, 14th, and 15th inst., under the following circumstances :—On the 20th May, 1839, Jean Antoine Gauthier, a miller at Mau zet, died suddenly and in great agony, with all the symptoms of having been poisoned. As there was reason to believe that a criminal intercourse had ex isted between his wife and Seconds, and as the wife had been heard to menace her husband with death, suspicion naturally fell upon them. The body was disinterred, by order of the Mayor, a few days after the death, and submitted to the examination of three medical men, who declared that the death was na tural ; consequently no proceedings were instituted against the widow and her paramour, and in January foll Owing the widow, who had succeeded to 'the property of her husband, was married to Seconds. A year passed over, and the crime seemed to )._)e covered with impunity, when the pub licity given to a trial for murder by poisoning, in which the existence of poison had been discovered by analysis, when there were no external indications. of its presence, led to a supposition that a similar re sult might take place in the case of Gauthier. The. authorities, acting under this impression, had the re mains of the victim disinterred, and the stomach and intestines being removed, were sent to Montpellier . to lie analysed by three chemists of that place, and these gentlemen, after operating with the apparatus. of Marsh, having in their report declared that they had 'discovered arsenic, Seconds and his w if e were takeit into custody. On the trial the evidence as to the criminal intimacy between Julie Phalipon and Seem& ' during the life-time of Gauthi er , was not doubtful, and it was proved that she had .nore than once:mixed a white powder in his drink, and had en-. treated the Cure of the parish to use his influence. with Gauthier to make a will in her favour, observing to the Cure, that she was convinced Gauthier would not :recover from his illness. The evidence against SecOnds was circumstantial. It was proved that he had exhibited great alarm when he was apprised of tie intention of exhuming the body of Gan-. second time, and had been heard to reproae:o l his Wife with having poisoned her first husband. The, answer of the wife to this reproach was that she had onlyl acted under his advice. The manner in which the poison had been obtained was not clearly esta Wished. It was sworn by a witness that he had been induced by a bribe some months before the death of Gauthier to purchase some arsenic for a female whoM he believed to be Julie Phalipon, and on the othe hand it was shown that the father of the male prisoner e e e to he Ahvandiephurheehahseadd arsenic for the brother of Seconds, but this was de ad One ar' ; e ri n tn ic ess in swore that nied by the druggist, of whom it was said to have be found in his books. Ano t her w itness deposed been: obtained, acrd no entry of the sale wa s t o that whilst Gauthier was ill, he heard one night near the mill a man and woman conversing to , ether in an under tone, and the woman say, " have failed this time ; he has vomited and escaped, but I will try again, for I am resolved he shall' di e ." It was not proved that Seconds and Julie Phalipon were the parties, although little doubt was entertained of the fact. A witness deposed that Seconds, after the exhumation of the body, had called upon a medical man and asked him whether it was possible to discover traces of poison so long after death, and being answered in the affirmative, he said, " That he would destroy himself ; that before his marriage with Julie he was a happy man, but noW he was wretched and despised; that he would ask his wife if she had anything to reproach herself with, and if she was guilty they would sell their property, nd quit the country?' This was before they were arrested. The jury, after a sitting of three days, de liberated for two hours, and then returned a verdict of guilty against the female, and acquitted Secopds. Sentence of deall was pronounced upon the wife. Why is Father Mathew like the flesh and the devil ? Because he is perpetually working against the influence of the spirit.
