MURDER OF a MAN ay HIS WIFE. The Court of Assizes of the Oise was engaged on the 27th and 28th ult. with the trial of the widow Dupain for the murder of her husband, whose body was found in an oven on the 30th of June last at Compiegne. It appeared from the evidence that Du pain and his wife lived together on very bac( terms, he accusing her of having improper connection with his son, and she upbraiding him with living with a girl named Ducarroy. In the year 1835 he left his wife altogether, and took up his residence with the other woman, and about the same time sold his house and kept the whole of the price to himself. This sale and the application of the money was an additional cause of difference between Dupain and his wife. In 1837 Dupain was engaged to do some mason work in the prison at Senlis, and was there ex horted by the chaplain so strongly to give up his evil course of life, that he determined to quit the woman with whom he was cohabiting, and return to his family at Compiegne. He previously made a pilgrimage to Notre:-Dame de Liesse and in 1837 he againentered the house where his wife was residing. Their differ ences continued, however, just as badly as before, and the neighbours frequently heard them quarrelling. A person named Brabant heard one night loud cries for help proceeding from Dupain's wife. He went down to the street, and was about to interfere, when, considering that this might be only an ordinary quarrel, he thought it as well to leave the matter as it was. From that night Dupain was seen no more, and none of the neighbours could say what had become of him. His wife gave different accounts of his absence, at one time saying that he was living at Senlis, at another time that she knew nothing about him. In 1840 she appeared before a notary to signify her consent to the marriage of her son, and then assumed the quality of widow. On his remarking that the cer tificate of her husband's decease ought to be pro duced, she got an act drawn up, stating that he had disappeared in 1837. Eight days before the discovery of the body, she averred to two witnesses that she had seen her husband at Chapel-en-Serval, on her way to Paris. The discovery of the body was as fblloWs :—A woman named Francceur, wishing to use the oven, which was common to the several inhabitants of the house, perceived a thick smoke to issue from the lower part. She informed the prisoner of the fact, adding that there was a strong smell of burnt linen, and with some difficulty per suaded her to have a mason sent for. The man deter mined on opening the part below the oven, formerly used as a rabbit-hutch, and, on removing the mason work and a quantity of stones piled up inside, wag horrified at beholding a body, in a sitting pos!,, ctre , fully clothed in winter attire, the cravat alo:, e b e i ng wanting. The body was in a co;nplete state of mummification, and was imr, e di a t e l y recog nised as being that of ilapain. In the pocket of his jacket were a prayer-book and a medal, arising probably from his pilgrimage to Notre- Dame de Liesse, three letters from the woman he lived with (dated 1837), and Three notes on different matters. The question r". once presented itself, how did the body get into this strange position ? The prisoner tried to ae_ .;ount for it in various ways. At one time she spok e of suicide, but if, it wa s o b s e rve d to her, he ha!, put an end to his existence, how did he get into the cavity ? She then suggested that b, might have descended by the chim ney tSf the oven, and placed himself in the I,',..•ktion in which he was found ; but, on exa -mination, it was discovered that there was no com munication between the two. Another suggestion of hers %% as that he had built up the orifice himself from the interior, but it was found that not only had the mason work been executed from the out side, but that she had herself employed a man, named Hautman, in 1837, to stop up the open ing. It was proved also that she had never left him during the time he was so employed, and had given him snuff to enable him to continue his work, a dreadful smell having proceeded from the hole. She had also, for some time afterwards, been in the habit of throwing filthy matters near the place, to lead persons to suppose that the offensive odour proceeded from them. The jury, after three quarters of an hour's deliberation, brought in a ver dict of guilty of murder without premeditation, W and the Court sentenced the prisoner to hard labour for life at the hulks. On hearing this sentence, the wretched woman fell back insensible, and the gen darmes were obliged to carry her out of Court._ Galignanz's Messenger. MANSLAUGHTER OF A CABMAN. On Tuesday evening an adjourned inquest was held by Mr. Payne, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of George Briggs, cab proprietor, aged forty-two, of No. 31, Richard-street, Liverpool road, Islington. Some of the particulars connected with the death of the deceased have already been published, and the brief facts will be found in the following narrative :—On Monday evening, the Bth ult., three well-dressed men engaged the deceased's cab at Islington-green, to overtake a phaeton which was returning to Barnet, and agreed to give him 3s. On reaching Highgate-archway they came up with the phaeton and jumped into it. The deceased seized the reins of the horse, and insisted upon having his fare, the men (who it is supposed were going to the fight between I;angaree and Martin) having paid him but 2s. Q - ne of the men said he would give deceased a smrake of tobacco, and that was all ; and the latter replied that he could not afford to be cheated, as he had a wife and six children. The accused then got out of the phaeton, which belonged to Mr. Salmon, postmaster of Barnet ; and in which were Mr. Murphy, a tailor of Barnet, and his son, and one of the men' declared he would soon settle the deceased. The de ceased was then pushed away from the horse's head, and the phaeton drove on, and in a few minutes afterwards Catharine Fowndes, a passer by, heard the deceased fall to the ground, his leg snap, and a cry of "Murder" and "Police." The police came up and removed the deceased to the above hospital, and it was discovered that the bones of one of his legs protruded through the skin. On the following Friday he became delirious, and on the succeeding Thursday his leg was amputated by Mr. Lloyd, the surgeon, but death relieved his sufferings on Saturday, the 20th ult. The three men who committed the outrage escaped the vigilance of the police, and evidence as to their identity was gone into at considerable length on Tuesday night, but the ends of justice might be perverted by publishing the details. The Jury re turned a verdict of " Manslaughter against some persons unknown," and censured Cook, the driver of the phaeton, and the two Murphys, for not assisting in apprehf_mding the accused parties when they heard the cry of murder. The Coroner having addressed the parties in pursuance of the suggestion of the Jury, the numerous witnesses were bound to appear when ealleil upon, awl the inquest terminated at nine o'clock [ADVERTISEMENT.] SODA WATLR. BOUGIISEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on the discerinueut of the public to discover and appreciate the superior quality of the -:rated Water produced by their manufactory, and they have scorned t o h av e -re course to any tricks. In the present day some persons consider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery in order to extend the sale of their own productions by detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R. and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe riority of their own soda-water and lemonade, founded on the recommendation of the most eminent of the faculty, on the results of the most searching chemical analyse:, and the extensive and still increasing demand for them by the public, both at home and abroad, that they have hitherto treated the insinuations quaek,ery alluded to with the contempt they deserve. " 'Bitt if these indirect insinuations are still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel the tnselvesjustified in offering those explanations that mar ehibld the public to judge for themselves. If R. and S. have placed the name of Schweppe upon their bottles, it was n ever to mislead the public as to connexion with that firm, but for the purpose of announcing a legitimate fact, and always subordin p ate to their own. Without im puting undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe and Co., —an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very period that the w a t ers sold by Schweppe gave to that name ail the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is many years since any person, having the slightest connexion with the name or family of the late Mr. Schweppe, has been connected with any house in the trade. In the year 1834, the proprietor of the busi ness carried on under the name of Schweppe and Co. sold his interest to persons with whom R. and S declined to remain : they preferr e d emp l oying their in- . dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a busine ss for their own mutual profit. Wheth er t h e waters since manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and C o , retain the quality which acquired for that house all its celebrity, R. and S. decline to give an opinion ; but, i n justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which 1 - ear. their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning wrong ones—there is no bottle bearine, any other than their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedge and Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived from filling them with waters of their own manufactory. ROUCHSEDG E and SummEas only desire such patronage as may be deserved from the Arated Waters produced at their own manufactory, and sold under the labels of their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Bristol. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE. --WORTHING. SEPT. 7 Yesterday afternoon the town was thrown into consider able excitement by the suicide of Mr. Richard Parker, who, although latterly reduced in circumstances, was universally respected in the town and neighbourhood. The deceased, it is reported, was unable to meet some bills which he had accepted for a nephew, and he be came low-spirited, and, on Tuesday afternoon, he walked into the sea with only part of his clothes on, and soon disappeared. A boat was put off, and the body shortly afterwards.recoyered and removed--to the Parisian baths, where Mr. Nortlie ootrand - ethers iNeri every effort to ore animation. but without effect.

(From a Second Edition of the Edinburgh Obs ercer of Tuesday.) The sun dawned this morning auspiciously for the further progress of Queen Victoria through these northern districts of her empire. It being generally known that her Majesty would lea ve D a lk e i th Palace this morning at nine o clock, and pass through Edin burgh on her way to Queensferry, many citizens were on foot at an early hour in the morning, and making inquiries as to the route she would take in passing through or near the city. Her Majesty's movements appear to be as punctual as if regulated by machinery. The carriages were ordered to be at the door of Dalkeith Palace at a quarter before nine o'clock, and within a few minutes thereafter she was on her progress northward. The route her Majesty intended to take not being exactly known, the general pressure was towards where it was considered certain she must pass; and.shortly after six o'clock this morning, the inhabitants began to assemble at the head of Minto-street, Newington, in the expectation that her Majesty would come that way. The crowd continued to increase until about twenty minutes from ten o'clock, when her Majesty and suite made their appearance, and were received with deafening cheers and waving of handkerchiefs. The cortege then proceeded down West Preston-street, by Hope Park, Buccleuch street, Bristo-street, Teviot-row, Lauriston, Home street, and Lothian -road. When opposite St. John's Chapel, at a few minutes from ten, a Royal salute was fired from the Castle, and answered by the Daphne frigate. The thousands who by this time had assembled gave an imposing effect to the scene, — the air literally ra g with joyous acclamations. The Royal party then proceeded along Queensferry-street, and the Dean-bridge, to Craigleith toll-bar, where a relay of horses were in attendance. The utmost re gularity prevailed throughout the whole line, the police having ordered all carts and carriages to be drawn aside to such places as would least inconveni ence the Royal progress. Mr. Sheriff Speirs met the Royal party beyond Dean-bridge, and rode at a short distance in front of her Majesty's carriage. In anticipation of her Majesty passing onwards from Dean-bridge, there were numerous individuals and groups on the move along the Queensferry-road from that point so early as seven o'clock ; and as a friend of ours, who started at that hour in the same direction, drove along, the pedestrians became nume :ous, and vehicles of all descriptions began to thicken on the road, all in the same track towards the scene of embarkation at Queensferry. The several roads leading to the point of attraction were already pouring in the population of the adjacent country, in every variety of vehicle or on foot. The walls of the plantation skirting the declivity on the Edin burgh road, began to be fringed with expectant spectators, and clustering on the western brow of Dalmeny Park, while, on either side of the inn, the several classes of carriages were so arranged as to keep the roadway and the area in front of the inn completely clear for thg, approach of th e R oya l cor tege. The Sheriffs werFere long joined by the Earl of Hopetoun, Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and his brother, Mr. Hope, M.P., w h o , moun ti ng th e i r h orses, proceeded on the Edinburgh road to meet her Ma jesty. The Earl of Roseberry and Lord Dalmeny also appeared on horseback, and Provost Wyld and the other Magistrates of Queensferry took a station in front of the inn at the top of the pier. The arrange ments made by the Sheriff for keeping order, and at the same time affording the fullest accommodation, were admirable ; and nothing could exceed the good temper and courtesy of the policemen who were on duty. The whole quay was kept vacant, as well as the area betwixt it and the inn, and the bugle having sounded about nine o'clock, the soldiers were in their ranks facing the east in a line with the centre division wall of the pier, while all who could not find room elsewhere were spread out on the rocky beach east of the quay, which was covered with a footway of scarlet cloth from the upper to the lower end ; and ere her Majesty arrived the assembled people were clustered thickly all around in the most orderly man ner, affording a pleasing picture of all grades of I society among us. Her Majesty arrived at Newhalls, amidst the cheer ing of the throng, and the waving of hats and blue bonnets in abundance, precisely at five minutes to eleven o'clock. Her Majesty was handed from her carriage by Sir Neil Douglas, Commander of the Forces, who, with.an aid-de-camp, had sometime pre viously appeared on the ground ; and Prince Albert, alighting immediately, her Majesty leaning on his arm, walked along the quay—the Lord Lieutenant walking uncovered on her right hand, and the Earl of Roseberry on the left of Prince Albert, and fol lowed soon after by Sir Robert Peel, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Liverpool, and other distinguished personages of her Majesty's suite. The embarkation was in a few minutes accom plished, on board of the Queen Margaret steamer, (the approach to the shore of a Royal steamer in the offing being quite out of the question), and when the Queen of the Wooden Walls of England stood on the quarter deck of this humble bark, she was greeted with renewed acclamations from the crowd, who by this time had rushed along the quay in the ardour of enthusiasm. These manifestations of loyalty, we need scarcely add, were received by her Majesty and Prince Albert with their accustomed grace and cour tesy. Only the Prince and two ladies accompanied her Majesty in the boat, which bore her from the shore of Lothian, and which took a westward sweep for a considerable distance, partly perhaps to obtain a I view of the surrounding beauties on either bank of the Forth, and partly to afford time for the embarka- ' tion of the other official attendants, and the carriages by another boat. For these another small steamer and ferry boat were in readiness—and we were not a little amused to see Sir Robert Peel takes his place in the bow of the boat for the carriages. He was soon, however, beckoned to the steamer. The tug and boat cut right across, and having landed at the North Ferry their passengers and freight, left the quay, while the boat with her Majesty on board, after sailing east ward beyond InchFarvy, neared the pier, and disem barked at twelve o clock at noon, the Royal steamer firing a salute, and the gathering on the quay and heights of North Ferry greeting the landing by sig nals which we could see, but could not hear. We understand that her Majesty intends to return from her excursion to the Highlands on this day week, after which she will again honour the Duke of Buc cleuch with a residence of five days. THE ROYAL VOYAGE TO SCOTLAND. We have seen a letter from an officer on board the Royal squadron during the passage, which we hasten to communicate to our readers. It must be remem bered that it is a private letter to a brother officer, and not intended for the public eye; but, as contain ing authentic information on a subject in which all feel so deep an interest at this moment, we trust we shall he excused if we have committed a breach of confidence in transferring it to our columns : " Leith Roads, Sept. 1, 1842. " God be praised ! Her Majesty arrived safely in Leith Roads at half -past 1 o'clock this morning, and at 9 landed safely at Granton Pier, warmly greeted by thousands of her loyal Scotch subjects. " The Rova 1 passage has been as favourable as could possibly have been expected; not an accident or a delay of any sort or kind ; not a rope -yarn strained, nor even a carriage scratched. The news papers will already have told you of the embarkation at Woolwich, on as unpromising a morning as I ever witnessed. But the rain held up at the moment that her Majesty approached, and not five minutes elapsed between alighting from her carriage and being under weigh in the Royal yacht—precisely at five minutes before 7 o'clock. " On entering Long Reach, and finding the river tolerably clear of shipping, Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence ordered the Shearwater, Captain Washing ton, to take the yacht in tow, and the Black Eagle to tow ahead of her ; and in this manner we pro ceeded, the three ships in line, without once slacken ing the halsers, till we dropped anchor in Leith Roads in 66i hours from Woolwich. " As we advanced down the river the day became beautifully fine ; numberless vessels followed, all dressed with flags. At Gravesend colours of every nation were displayed by the shipping, the bells rang a merry peal, the people loudly cheered, and the guns of Tilbury Fort welcomed Ocean's Queen' with a Royal salute, recalling the stirring times of Raleigh, the signal was made to of o r a n k e e o , t a e n r o g f s E e l a i z a ß b e e a t e h. h the Pique and Daphne to weigh and . join the Royal so.

"The Royal Georg e , you are a ware , i s a b eau tiful vessel; but, p er h aps, she was never seen to greater advantage (except when under sail) than surrounded by the steam flotilla which accompanied her ; her light and beautiful form; which reposed on the water like a swan, her yards admirably square, every rope as taut as a harp-string, and her lofty and graceful spars t owerin g far above all, with the Royal Stan dard, ' the Meteor Flag a England,' floating majesti cally from her maintop-gallant masthead, completed a model of symmetry and grace. • Vie xpladion now bore away do wn the Swill, the two steamers as beforementioned towing the yacht, fol lowed by the Rhadamanthus, Lightning, Fearless, and Monkey, placed in order of sailing on each quarter of the yac . lit, and accompanied by the Vestal, Trinity yacht ; which latter excited general admiration by the seamanlike manner in which she took up her position and kept it throughout the whole of the voyage. " Passing the remarkable Maplin Lighthouse, built upon iron screw piles, apparently in the middle of the sea, and receiving a ioyal salute from Walton-on-the- Naze, the squadron arrived off Harwich harbour (the safest on the eastern coast of England, and where, in case of bad weather, we must have sought refuge) at five o'clock. Here it was met by the Orion and River Queen, Ipswich steamers ; the former, having on board the Mayor and town authorities of Ipswich, ranged up alongside, playing the national anthem, and greeting her Majesty with loud huzzas. A little be yond we passed through a line of revenue cruisers, under the command of Captain Jerningham and Lieutenant Smith, R.N., who manned their rigging and gracefully lowered their gaff top-sails and flags to the Royal standard, while hundreds of white pocket handkerchiefs which loyally fluttered in the breeze, and the thrilling cheers of an equal number of manly hearts, proved their devoted attachment to their lovely Queen. Foremost among them we distinguished a group of youthful children, who, having imbibed loyalty with their mother's milk, stretched out their little arms towards their beloved Sovereign, and lisped a blessing on her Royal head. "Onwards swept the Royal yacht—Bawdsey,'Or ford, Alborough, were rapidly passed in succession, and the last rays of the setting sun fell upon the con secrated yet crumbling towers of Dunwich, and illu mined all that now remains of the thirteen churches of the former capital of the kingdom of East Anglia. "At midnight we rounded the extreme eastern point of England, guided by the brilliant light of Lowestoffe, and, passing round the back of Yarmouth Sands, steered through Ilasborough Gat, while the first beams of light left upon the lofty cliffs of Cromer, indistinctly seen through the morning mist. "At nine o'clock we passed the Dudgeon light - vessel, about thirty miles from Cromer, at noon were off the Humber, and at five o'clock we had a glorious view of the projecting view of the promontory of Flamborough head, which boldly resists the waves of the German Ocean, and affords the valuable shelter of Bridlington Bay, to the numerous shipping which trade along the eastern coast of Great Britain. " The sea, during the whole of this time, was calm as a mirror, and her Majesty and the Prince were early on deck, enjoying the morning air. Shortly after breakfast a telegraphic message announced that Her Majesty and the Prince were perfectly well,' a message which, I need not tell you, was received by the whole squadron with three hearty cheers ; a signal was then made, by command of her Majesty, to in quire after the health of the ladies, the Duchess of Norfolk and Miss Paget, who were on board the Black Eagle ; the answer was, With duty to her Majesty, quite well.' A similar question was made to the Lords in Waiting, &c., who were on board the Rhadamanthus, the answer to which caused general merriment throughout the squadron, All well, and the Lord Steward eating monstrously.' " By means of Watson's signals the Royal yacht communicated with the station at Flamborough Head; and, I believe, received news of the health of the Royal infants. I have not mentioned that out of every port along the coast, boats, and sailing vessels, and steamers, came to pay homage to their Queen ; but, perhaps, the most remarkable were the Aldbo rough yawls, which rowed out a long distance off the land, and cheered manfully as we passed them close alongside, about nine o'clock—and on the Humber a simple fisherman, with a venerable bald head, held up a fine fish with oth his hands, as the only homage he had to offer to his Queen ; this act was kindly ac knowledged by Prince Albert.. " Onwards steered the gallant fleet as the shades of evening closed on the white and conspicuous build ings of Scarborough. As the squadron passed along the land, her Majesty from time to time referred to the beautiful charts of the coast, which have been re cently published by the Hydrographic-office at the Admiralty, and a copy of which was mounted and folded in a convenient form expressly for this occasion. " During the night the wind freshened from the northward, and rather delayed our progress ; still we passed along all the coast of Yorkshire and of Dur ham, and at eight o'clock on the morning of the last day of August we stood in to the land at the entrance of the Tyne, and had a distinct view of Tynemouth Cliff and Castle; hence we continued alongshore about five miles off the coast, passin g c , Blyth, Newbiggin, and Cresswell, backed by the heights of Simonside, Bradham, and Shaftham, and the more distant range of the great Cheviots, rising nearly 3,000 feet above the sea. " At two we passed close to Coquet Island, and had an excellent view of the far-famed Castle of Wark worth. At three a Royal salute from Howick greeted her Majesty as she passed, and the Percy banner, gracefully drooping from the lofty tower of Alnwick Castle, evidenced at once the loyalty of its owners to their Sovereign and their devoted attachment to their former Royal charge. " Dunstanborough Castle next showed itself, and shortly after the whole squadron swept, at the rate of ten miles an hour, through the narrow passage be tween the Fern Islands and the main, having on the left the stately structure of Bamborough Castle, re nowned for its charitable institution for shipwrecked seamen, on the right the three Fern Island light houses, and the Longstone, the scene of Grace Dar ling's g allant exploit ; while, before us, on St. Cuth beth's iloly Isle,' rose the ruins of the Castle and Cathedral of Lindisfarne— _ " A solemn, huge, and dark-red pile, Placed on the margin of the isle; The castle with its battled walls, The ancient monastery's halls.' This was, perhaps, one of the most interesting points of the whole voyage ; the proximity of the shore on either hand, the rapid speed of the vessels as they swept past, hurried along by a strong ebb tide, the mingled roar of the cannon of Bamborough Castle, and the loyal cheers of the island fishermen who sur rounded the squadron in their boats, gave an animation to the scene that it is difficult to describe, while the classic associations connected with Warkworth and Lindisfarne and the Tweed, the remembrance that the antique and venerable ruins of the abbey and cathedral church of Lindisfarne were once that ' holy place' were episcopacy and Christianity were first permanently established in Northumberland, were well calculated to make a lasting impression on a mind so susceptible of deep emotions as that of our youthful Queen ; nor could it be entirely effaced from some of our recollections, that only five days later in the season, on this very spot, had occurred the fearful wreck of the Forfarshire steamer, when 38 persons perished, and caused us to offer up silently, yet fer vently, a prayer that no harm might happen to the precious freight intrusted to our charge. " Onwards sped the Royal bark, and, passing Ber wick-on-the-Tweed, her - Majesty for the first time bad a view of her Scottish dominions, of Caledonia, stern and wild' perhaps at first sight, but containing within her mountain fastnesses and along the border of her lakes a moral, brave, and educated people, as devotedly attached to their Sovereign and their country as any on the face of the earth, and grati fied beyond expression at the opportunity now afforded them of testifying their loyalty to her Ma jesty in person. " A light westerly breeze now enabled the yacht to set her headsails; we rapidly approached St. Abb's Read, and shortly after sunset got sight of the remark able mountains of the Bass-rock and the North Ber wick Law, and entered th e Firth of Forth. 'Jere the Royal squadron was met by the Monarch and Tri dl s e t n eam t, tw N o av o i f ga th ti o o se n e s o p m le p n a d n i y d , c s r t eoawmdeerds with ht passengerh e Gene r a s dr m o m u s ed ivoa singingitceel y s yseoonftn ae r tn e i eo c dn o g n abl y i h s i y n m g n N r ,hic Majesty h fro m c o t n h i e nmw u h e In n ° coming over the water, had a beautiful effect. " The breeze freshened from the north-west; but the flood-tide enabled the squadron to make good headway ; when off Dunbar, besides the illumination of that town, and a Royal salute from the Castle, the magnificent sight burst upon us, of beacon-fires lighted on all the conspicuous Scottish hills, and was imposing in the extreme. The night was quite dark, but clear ; astern, were all the lights of the several steamers, bending like a crescent around the Royal yacht in the centre ; while on the coast around, in East-Lothian, in Mid-Lothian, in Linlithgow, in Fife, and Clackmannan, bonfires blazed on all the remarkable heights, all announcing th e cordial welcome that awaited her Majesty from Scotland and her Scottish subjects; while in Edin burgh, the summit of Arthur's Seat seemed a blaze of fire, shedding a flood of light over the surrounding heights and valley below, and giving an aspect of wild grandeur to all its romantic scenery. "It has fallen to my lot to witness beautiful illu minations in various parts of the world. I have seen the cities of Rio de Janeiro, of Linua and of Santiago lighted up in all their spl en d our; the city and all the shores of the Bay of Naples, and even the dome of St. Peter's at Rome, but I never remember anything that has made so deep an impression as our passage up the Firth of Forth on this occasion. The beautiful ex panse of water, the brilliant lights around, the rapid speed of the vessels, throwing off the phosphoric waves on either bow, as we passed along; the recollection of the precious freight intrusted to our charge, and the feeling that through the merciful Providence of God we had been enabled to bring our voyage to a happy end, all combined to render the scene one of thrilling interest far beyond my powers of expression. " Precisely at half-past one o'clock we dropped anaor close to the island of Inchkeith."

Although the loyal inhabitants of Fort William and its neighbourhood could not vie with those of many other parts of Scotland, in the extent and variety of their rejoicings, yet they resolved to outstrip every other community in the loftiness of the pile they should raise to welcome Queen Victoria's first visit to this her ancient kingdom. Accordingly, actuated by a keen spirit of loyalty, activity, and perseverance, tar-barrels, and other materials were, with much dif ficulty and danger, conveyed to the top of " Old Ben," the highest mountain in her Majesty's dominions, and a bonfire there lighted up, which, had the weather been propitious, might have slanted down a cheering ray of recognition and welcome on Benmacdhu, Ben lomond, the Ochills, or even Arthur's Seat and the Castle of "Auld Reekie." While the bonfire blazed on the mountain a Royal salute was fired from the old Castle of Inverlochy (now the property of the Hon. R. C. Scarlett), around whose ancient walls an immense concourse of people had assembled to witness the rejoicings, and dedicate a bumper of the real mountain dew (from Benevis dis tillery, the most famed for its whisky in the three kingdoms) to the health, long life, and happiness of our young Queen, and a hearty welcome to her and Prince Albert, on the shores of old Scotia. Apart from the cause of our rejoicings, the asso ciations connected with the spot—the old castle, where treaties are said, once on a time, to have been signed betwixt Charlemagne of France and the early Kings of Scotland, with the battle-field betwixt Montrose and Argyll immediately under its walls, the noble river, and the wild grandeur of the surrounding mountain scene, all combined to stir up no ordinary emotions, and give no ordinary character to the proceedings of this eventful day. Notwithstanding the latter part of the evening was somewhat damp and hazy, still this circumstance neither checked the ardour nor concealed the loyalty of the Highlanders. At this moment the mist hung in dense columns around the rugged sides of " the lofty Benevis," to within a short • distance of its summit; over which now and then a passing cloud obscured from our view the burning pile, which at intervals blazed forth with Vesuvian splendour, setting at utter defiance the dark shades of night that now rapidly set in, while:each gun, as it boomed forth its thunder to the mountains, followed by the hearty cheers of the multitude, made the wild glens of Locheil, Ardour, and Glennevis, echo back the chorus with enchanting grandeur. Thus passed by a memorable day in the West High lands, our regrets being loud and long that we had neither Royalty to witness, nor Christopher North to describe, the magnificence of the spectacle by which we were surrounded.—Scotch Paper. _ FUNERAL OF DR.

It having been announced that the body of the late Dean of Westminster would be interred immediately after the usual Morning Prayers yesterday, shortly after the opening of the doors the choir of the Abbey was completely filled, and before the service was con cluded there was scarcely standing room. A few minutes after ten the voices of the choristers were heard chanting, as they entered the nave from the cloisters, the opening sentences of the Burial Service, " I am the resurrection," &c. The scene then became very impressive, when viewed from the organ gallery ; a long procession, headed by the almsmen and vergers, then the choir, the Canon and Prebends, feathers, and the corpse, followed by mourners, came slowly up the nave. Upon the coffin being placed on tressels, just within the gates of the choir, Prayers commenced, the 39th and 90th Psalms being substituted for those appointed for the day, and the lesson from the Burial Service for the second for the day; these were the only deviations. The Anthem was that selectedtfrom the latter part of the 90th Psalm, and the whole of the choir being pre sent, the service was beautifully performed. At the conclusion the procession was re-formed, and pro ceeded up the south aisle to the grave, which had been prepared at the south-west junction of the nave and transept. Here the choir and clergy formed a circle, and the sentences, " Man that is born of a woman," were sung, accompanied by the organ, at which Mr. Turle presided. The Sub-dean (Lord John Thynne) then stepped forward to the foot of the grave, and read that part of the service, " Forasmuch as it has pleased ;" after which the singing boys chanted, " I heard a voice," accompanied as before. Hi s L or d s hi p then proceeded with the appointed Prayers, which were followed by Croft's Anthem, " When the ear," at the conclusion of which the blessing was pronounced. This terminated a ceremony almost as imposing as the last, which, but a fortnight since, occurred within the same building, to the sorrow of many who had for years participated in Dr. Ireland's extensive charities.

RETREAT OF THE E M PEROR or CHINA. — By a letter (received from o ur own correspondent) we learn that the Emper or o f Chi na has run away from Pekin, alarmed at the approach of the English ; and that, fur ther, the Brother of the Moon has taken refuge in a pro vince of Tartary cail e d—Funk-Ing !—Puncit. The Batavier,Dutch steam-ship, arrived onWednesday at the St. Katherine's steam-packet wharf, from Rotter dam, with upwards of 100 passengers and a large cargo. She landed on the wharf thirty-five oxen, admitted under the new tariff, certainly the finest cattle which have been imported from Holland since the alteration of tho law. They very muc h rese mble the English oxen, but are not quite s o l arge. Th e breed is the short-horned one. The de c k s were also cove red with baskets filled with poultry hall Market. Th e supply o f ca ttle from Rotterdam is of ev er y d e scription, intended for Leaden expected to be very larffe, and an arrangement has been made with the S! . . Katherine's Dock Company to land the oxen and poultry every week from the Batavier at their large steam. wharf. The Bata vier wil l also em bark her Pass engers an d t h e ir luggage every Sunday morning at th e same p l ace , a nd the delay, expense, and inconvenience of small boats will be in future avoided.

EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY. London, Sept. 9, 1842. The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of Brown, or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub lished in the Gazette of this evening : West India East India .. ... TO CORRESPONDENTS. " A Constant Reader" is informed that " a young man under 21 years," cannot be imprisoned for debt. • t "to • -f-t 6;." 4 ' *). 4 cb E m , Mauritius.. No returns of sales Total average price of the two descriptions is 365. 3id. per cwt. The actual quantities sold on account of the im porters, in the week ending the 6th of September, according to the returns made upon oath, by the Sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parlia ment, and on which quantities the above ,prices are computed, consisted of 35,038 cwt. of IN est India, and 4,726 cwt. of East India Sugars. 350 cwt. of Kaur Sugar have been sold in the same week at 255. per cwt., which, being classed as East India, unfairly depresses the average price of that kind of Sugar. The annual Acts of Parliament determines that the duties on Sugars from July, 1842, to July, 1843, shall not exceed certain rates ;—this knowledge, coupled with recent information that the supply of Sugar from the Colonies will be inadequate to the usual demand for home use, leads the monopolists to indulge the hope that the prices of their Sugar will rise ; they have consequently been firm, and have ac tually obtained an advance of sixpence per cwt. Their cupidity causes them, however, to forget, that although duties cannot be raised without the sanction of Parliament, yet they may be diminished whenever the Government deems it proper to issue an Order in Council for that object, and that, too, without giving the parties concerned further notice than transmitting the document to the Customs. There is good reason to believe that if a serious advance in the prices of Sugar for home consumption should occur, that the power of reducing the rate of duties will be exer cised as far as relates to Foreign Sugars. It there fore behoves dealers to be especially cautious in their transactions, and to hold only such stocks of British Sugars as are absolutely necessary for their business. The prevalence of an opinion that Foreign Sugars must and will be admitted to the home market before Christmas next, has probably induced the briskness, though without alteration of prices, recently experi enced in the market. Parties may buy them to hold under an apprehension that such a reduction of duty as would bring them into home use would raise their value two shillings per cwt. Having last week assigned reasons why the West India Proprietors are not likely to procure an acces sion of labour on their estates through the aid of im migration, and abundantly shown why in that respect they have only themselves to thank for the difficulty they are in for want of workmen, we advert to-day to the second mode of reducing the cost of labour, a mode, unlike the other, being completely under W est Indian control ; accordingly we proceed to examine what the result would be of throwing out of sugar cultivation those grounds which from the impoverished state of the soil will not yield a full crop. It is well known, be the l an d where it may, that when ex hausted by forcing produce—and this sin especially ap plies to the West Indies—that an immense strength of labour is required to secure even a scanty return. In order to render our m ean i ng qu ite palpable, we give the following hypothetical case :—We will suppose A. and B. two West India Proprietors, who have each 100 acres of land in the Colonies ; the 100 acres be longing to A. have, from bearing a continued suc cession of Sugar crops become exhausted—therefore to get any Sugar from them, say 60 hogsheads a-year, the work of 150 negroes is required for their cultiva tion ; the estate of B. has been carefully managed, and on that account yields 100 hogsheads of Sugar, raised and made by the continuous work of 50 negroes. A. and B. are competitors in the labour market— their united wants are 200—but they find only 150 negroes to be hired. 8., holding the more profitable land, engages 50 of them, though compelled by the rivalry of A. to give such exorbitant wages, that the blacks (the complaint of the West India proprie tors) are able to remain idle three days in the week, leaving the 100 to be hired by A. at the like rate of wages ; these also work only three days in the week ; the consequosce is, that A. has but one-third of his 100 acres cultivated, which then produce only 20 hhds. of sugar a•year. B. has half his 100 acres planted which yield 50 hhds. a-year, the deficiency on A.'s estate arising partly from want of sufficient hands, and partly because the hands engaged will only work on alternate days. B.'s deficiency is occasioned entirely by the latter cause. Together A. and B. ship for the mother country 70 hhds. Now, if A. had his 100 acres cultivated for provisions, he would require the assist ance of only 25 negroes, throwing back upon the labour market the remaining 75, who would compete for employment with the 100 blacks hired by B. B. would then dictate a rate of wages that would ensure their working continuously throughout the year ; his estate would consequently ship 100 hhds. ; in point of quantity, therefore, there would be an in crease of 30 hhds. in the annual production and ship ment, and the labour of 75 negroes to spare. besides these advantages, the quality of the Sugar in the 100 hhds shipped from the single estate would be very superior to the Sugar which would have been shipped in 70 hhds. from the two half-worked estates; for this reason, B's estate by the mode suggested would have a gang of negroes upon it, who would work with regularity, and the juice, as soon as ex pressed from the canes, would be boiled down t o Sugar without delay. Expedition in making Sugar is of the first importance ; if the cane juice from ex posure to the atmosphere becomes tainted by acidity, the utmost skill of the manager to convert it into good Sugar will be defeated. The mischief arising, therefore, from negroes working only on alternate days is irretrievable, and accounts, in a great mea sure, for the gummy condition of a large proportion of the West India Sugar, and the quantity of lime in it, introduced for the purpose of neutralising the acidity which delay in the boiling had occasioned. It therefore follows that if the exhausted soils were thrown out of Sugar cultivation, one-fourth more Sugar would be imported from the West Indies, and the whole of it would be of a good and sound quality. The 1V est India Proprietors state 355. per cwt. to be the cost of Sugar, including all charges ; in order, therefore, to arrive at what the actual costs of labour are, the other charges incidental to bring ing it to market here, which are known— must be deducted—for instance, the first item in those charges is the cask, which may be set at Is. per cwt.; the second, the freight, &c., at ss. ; the third, dock age and management prior . to sale, 4s.—together 106. per cwt., leaving 255. per cwt. for the culture of the canes and manufacturing the Sugar. According to the showing of the planters the labourers receive now just double the amount of wages they ought to re ceive, because the sum paid for three days' labour will keep them comfortably for the week ; it is fair, then, to assume, that when competition for employ ment became active the owner of the fertile soil would' readily engage hands at half the amount of wages now given, in all probability at less than half the charge for culture, &c., instead of being equivalent to 255. per cwt., would consequently then be 12s. 6d. ; the cost of manager or planter may be set at 35., and should likewise be deducted, because it is entirely optional ; the proprietor may avoid it if he chooses by residing on his own estate, which, in fact, he ought to do. It is absurd to suppose the owner of an estate in Jamaica can live in London and manage his affairs, combining agriculture with manufacture, and direct these processes with any degree approaching pro per economyor good order; the 3s. per cwt. should,there - fore, be deducted, which further reduces the 125.6 d. to 9s. 6d, per cwt., being the cost, supposing as at pre sent 70 hhds. of bad sugar, in lieu of 100 good, were imported; but when the increased quantity and im proved quality are taken into consideration, one third, or 33 per cent., shouldbe taken from the 9s. 6d., bringing the cost of growing the canes and making the sugar down to 6s. 4d. per cwt. Admitting that the Proprietors must now, as they declare they ought to do, obtain on an average 355. per cwt. to remu nerate them, the mode suggested would enable them to dispose of their Sugar with equal profit at 6s. 4d., addding the charges at 10s. before deducted, at 16s. 4d. per cwt., the price which foreign Muscovado of like quality commands. We intend next week looking into the charges for hhds., freight, &c., dockage, and management here. We think we can enlighten the West India Proprietors in these matters, and show them the way to undersell their foreign competitors profitably to themselves, being a further demonstra tion, if such be necessary, that free is cheaper than slave labour. " The eighth plague," said Dr. Johnson, " is the gout ; and that man who discovers a medicine to alle viate its torment deserves well of his country ; but he who can effect a cure, should have a monument erected to his memory as high as St. Paul's, as wide as the Thames, and as lasting as time." This desideratum (happily) has now been accomplished ; and it must afford unspeakable satisfaction to those who are afflicted with Gout, Rheu matism, Rheumatic Gout, Rheumatic Fever, or Lum bago, to be informed that they will find an unfailing re medy in Simco's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which are sold by all medicine venders,in boxes at Is.

It is one of the misfortunes of newspaper editors, which is sometimes an affliction fin. their readers, that being intensely interested in the events and work of the day, they sometimes fbrget facts which they ought to remember, and run counter to principles to which they have given their assent. We feel that this is our own case, and we aro, not therefore inclined to measure the conduct of our Contemporaries by a very strict rule. Nevertheless, we must say of our Tory brethren that they have lately, in their con fusion arising from their leaders deserting their principles, disregarded many well proved facts, and tried to subvert the best established prin ciples. The leader of the whole tribe reached the climax of this absurd course yesterday, when he boldly threw off his allegiance to general rules, and claimed to substitute for them the fierce momentary will of any scribbler, or any active, bustling, busy Magistrate. " General rules," said the Times, " are very good things in their way, but it is a mere narrow pedantry to make them masters instead of servants." The Times then sets up its own will, or the will of the Magistrates, or their notions of temporary expe diency, as superior to general, moral, and poli tical rules, and declares that those guides of life are the servants, not the masters, of living men. That man shall not steal—shall not bear false witness—shall not murder—are general rules. Will the Editor of the Times say that he is to be master over them, and they are to be servants of his varying caprice ? It is a general rule that honesty is the best, and, indeed, the only policy. Is this, too, to be trampled under tbot ? It is a general rule—dear, we think, to the hearts and understanding of Englishmen—that prosperity and liberty go hand in hand; and is obedience to that to be treated as mere pedantry, because there is a momentary disturbance in one part of the country ? Is all the gathered experience of our ancestors, embodied into the general rule that freedom is essential to the welfare of England, to be disregarded because the opu lent classes feel considerable momentary alarm at the conduct of the multitude ? A doctrine more destructive of all stability in society—more adverse to true Conservatism—more fatal to all morality—than the doctrine that general rules, deduced from the observation of ages, and clothed almost with the sanctity of laws of nature, are to be the servants of the being of an hour, we have never met with. No Radical, eager for change —no avowed despiser of the wisdom of our an cestors—no scoffer a:, a regular and well-ordt red government of the universe—could frame a doc trine more congenial to his hopes and his per sonal ambition. The Times applied this perverse assertion to rebut the general rule that Legislators and Ma gistrates should not interfere between master and men, to regulate their wages, and compel the former, as that journal has proposed. to give workmen employment at all times. But we know no general rule which ex perience has more amply confirmed. Every such interference has injured trade, injured the masters, and injured the men. In our country it carries injustice on its face. In its present furor of benevolence, the Times may demand that the Legislature should compel some particular class of masters to give a higher rate of wages ; but let the power of regulating wages on the principle of benevolence be conferred on the Houses of Parliament, composed exclusively of the master class, and it would soon be ruled by law that no labourer should have better than workhouse fare. For months and years the Times has been railing against the New Poor law, becluse it has reduced the allowance of paupers to benefit the opulent class, and now it would place in the hands of the Legislature, notwithstanding its horror of centralization, the power of dealing with the labourer as with paupers, which would soon reduce the former to the condition of the latter. Both theory and experience, if they be not one anti. the same, combine to prove the solidity of that general rule which the Times would set aside, and, to set it aside more effectually, would make all general rules bend to its will. We I)ave high authority for our respect for general rules. Dr. PALEY entitles one of chapters. " The Necessity of General Rules,",4 l )d in that chapter he writes— " You cannot permit one action and forbid another_ without showing a difference between them ; cone'' quently the same sort of action must be generally 1)0' mitted or generally forbidden." " The assassin knocked the rich villain on the ;:tad because he thought MO; better out of the way than in it. If you allow this it cuse in the present instance, you must all ow it to 80 ; 1 who act in the same manner and from the same motive that as you must allow every man to kill any ort meets whom he thinks noxious or useless, which, in the event would be to commit every man's life and safety td the spleen, fury, and fanaticism of his neighbour—a (hr . position of affairs which would soon fill th e wor ld lOti misery and confusion, and ere long put an end to httlilllA s ociety, if not to the human species." So the Times, contrary to the general rule ihat . private contracts between men, such as those give wages on the one hand for work on Ike other, should be enforced by the law, but hot: otherwise interfered with, would have the lad' , interfere with all private contracts_to gratify its peculiar apprehensions, recently acquired, :.1.13 6 ° butties and coalowners. If we allow the intgr i ference in this instance we must allow it in alli when men act in the same manner and the same motives ; and the Legislature must regulate 9. 11 .: contracts, even those which the Times makes wit.l its reporters, compositors, and customers. SO an extension of the power of the Legislature', from whom already a vast deal more is demande4; than can be accomplished, would soon " fill the world," to borrow the language of PALEY, " NO, misery and confusion, and, ere long, put an eat; to human society and the human species." We do not advert to this subject in any narre7 f spirit of criticism, but to make our readers aware at once of the desperate lengths to which the 4 anti-free trade party is driven. They first inte o fere with the price of food ; next they propose interfere with wages, and to arrive at that 0 0 , they tire obliged to teach the superiority of the f t own foolizth speculations to the general moil rules which have been fbrmed by the experieb, of all ages. A few editors of newspapers 100 embrace these extraordinary doctrines, and knef little or nothing of the wonderful system of, pr°' • duction which has grown up amongst us withl these few years, are now writing up a Soff,4 crusade against manufactures and mativfacturol Their proceedings are most erroneous and - n l ,ot, mischievous; and we refer to the monstroq doctrines of the Times to prove the incorieo ness of their principles, and to put the public o their guard. Follow the treachery of the rigai and the Post, and all general rules will soot ] : banished from politics and morals, except -1 3 rule that men must be blindly obedient to 4. Tories. There appears to be no truth whatever in the E Standard's report of the death of the KING , .9, HANOVER. Among other public bodies admitted to 'O. presence of the SOVEREIGN at Dalkeith Palacit, was a deputation representing the Church e. Scotland, consisting of' some thirty members °i, the late General Assembly. According t'e,4 former precedent, which, considering the bite et' duct of the dominant portion of', the Chur 6l ( e iwould have been more honoured in the brew than the observance, they presented an addi ,$. to the QUEEN, in which they attributed the toll' advance of tie Scottish nation in civilization, mercial enterprise, the peaceful arts of induct ,, and loyalty, to " the power of' divine truth 3 pressed on the heart by the faithful prefOring4 the word, accompanied by the inestirnio,l advantage of a sound practical educatil based on the Holy Scriptures." Now, mak!, , d i every allowance for the inestimable blessi, . conferred on Scotland by her admirable . sy ,ii. of Church government and parochial schoo l " is only fair to state, in justice to other pa ;..; that the Church cannot exclusively claim'..' merit of the vast improvements which ,il‘ , , 01 ) taken place in that country, since the accesP 4'..' of the house of BRUNSWICK. The learned 074, ,i who enlightened the community by t 1. 1,11 writings on every useful branch of science -I P;;'' , philosophy, the practical agricuituri .t, the.in4 i ° . 4 , trious merchant, and, above all, the wise, ,lar d lators who establi s h e d the pa ro chial schoci l4 ) ol „ i t i by the passing of the Union Act, ope ne d theiva, of the English colonies to Scotch enterpril must come in for no small share of the hou 9 :4 which the Church would attribute to 'her eS4. turns alone. But independent of' these cireSt' stances there were great men in the Church 1 0 07', the accession of the present line of kings. preached the word in season and out of set o and, notwithstanding all their exertions, - id , Scotch remained a lawless and turbulent pp ; rebelling not unfrequently against their reign, and committing deeds of atrocity toi!;:4 one another, not surpassed in modern tit:. And besides allowing the ministers of 4 Gospel all the merit which they 45.0, the praise must be awarded, not. to ,t P 4 t o' sect which unfortunately has thrown the 00 . i.. ligious community into such disorder, and 0 nevertheless, complacently regard themselve,to, the only " faithful preachers of the word; ,: o i to the great majority who, during the perie u to t ti.cse vast improvements, had supreme 0 0 1 1 10. , , . in ecclesiastical matters. Among the more ~.i. f tieguished of' these in latter times were H 00 0.74 SON, BLAIR, and HILL, with others whose DlO' e p it is needless to recount; and how are the l/3 9 that now tread in their footsteps treated bY ef present majority of the Church? The histO t . o the three last General Assemnlies affords .d: of melancholy answer. Many of' them have . Ile . , deposed for obeying what they conscientiouslY' lieved to be the law as established by Church 11 , . 0 ,, State,. great numbers have been suspendei h o threatened with suspension, for sympathising ° . i . their suffering brethren, and thus the very men i# whose ecclesiastical policy such a just tribut°. paid, are all but thrust out of the Church. ' e l referring to the address, we were curious 0 6 0 in what way the present leaders would exPriS their loyalty,after they had been pronounced i . the Supreme Civil Courts in Scotland And *"„*.f land guilty of a breach of the law, and were Pv t i t. a little delighted to find on the first perusal --t i to their " aim was to inculcate the indisPeOi s . duty of allegiance to the Supreme power of ti) a ,/,. State." On reading it, however, more carefi f `4 we discovered in a sort of parenthesis a strNd reservation, by which all this professed loys'iii was only conditional and subservient tol ie o " paramount obligations, privileges, and be.f t it of the Gospel," which, when translated': ;1 : 1 0: plain„ intelligible language, means their °s. acts of Assembly. They boldly told the Qt it they reckoned these paramount to all othersyr o f , would give allegiance to the sovereign pow er 0 ) the State, only so far as it was consis te e with the law which they had laid down for th e 0 selves. Sir ROBERT PEEL probably wished e h act a generous part on an occasion of s° ol general rejoicing, and was anxious to avoid b e collision with the ministers of peace, but be' v e refused his assent to the address, he would 11 ,1 1 1 ,0 been justified by the la w o f th e l au d, and bY ` ii i, established practi ces o b serve d i n a ll corniu tir cations between the Sovereign and people. • The speech of Lord DENMAN on the st l ) at the York Assizes, preparatory to pronouncljej sentence . upon upward s o f 150 p e rsons coniri t e l of being guilty of riots during the late operat lq .p strike, was in many resp ec t s w o rthy of they I t ' e cl character of that eminent Judge. He af f lcta no alarm—indulged in no exaggeration of-f il , o f' or appearances—and exhibited no warro ttl o.4 temper unsuited to the high duty which be , 1 0 , 0 called upon to discharge. 'There were one or. ti o points in his speech, however, sing e s g o t of observations which evidently did . .„,y ••m ay cu his Lordship, though they :4f, done so to the prisoners at the vivo ;.!hiding to the conflicts of the people li 'o;a the poiier and constabulary, the Nohle; t ue Learned Lord observed, that, "forgetful 01410 lain and undeniable truth that the civil 10) p are even more for the protection of the %le. orders than of other classes, ignorant P:r• assembled against them, and the oP.r a lts tunity was selected by wicked men of 1:0,0 ing, their mean malignancy upon t.. whose vigilance they had reason Cud t i o like."
