Hank tiEAVER'S E MBROCATION for GOUT, Cop RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, & c . „ p ‘ y of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, Ow armsck, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times :"-- " Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make`known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some lambs . ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo eated and fractured lay ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unabl e to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and edematous, and I su ff ered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in edematou s , e nd which extended from the made to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and ray medical friend s in the country could suggest, to no Purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston --then to adopt sea hatlaing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishmnt, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next soorning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am bow rapidly recovering. Having for many Years had an ex **alive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of 16,6 medicinal compound possessing such wonderful ecy. tumidag my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, l o am an . Piro., isyno other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellovv-suf 'eTits• Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, 1 shonld be the last rri n ta uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to 4° nothi ng but a ne - farious . tra ffi c and humbug. 4 am, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. moat, near W a l sall, Staffordshire. s: •S. the various consultations held upn my case, the IQ Physicians (including myself) were decidedly of ropinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter. tdinathte in,. loek.jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have net 6 suffhtest symptonss of spasms since the first application of this °Unordinary embrocatio.—T.

From time immemorlal Linseed has been proverbial for its virtues in the cure of Coughs and Colds ; but previous to the discovery of the present Chemical Essence, it was merely used in the form of tea, and its benefit comparatively limited. This Essence contains all the medicinal properties of Linseed in a highly concentrated form, combined with other medicinal s and herbs, producing the most certain and efficacious remedy for Coughs which has yet been discovered. Children's Coughs, as recent ones in Adults, will be re moved by a few doses of Stmco's Essence of Linseed (frequently by the first); old standing Chronic Coughs may require per severance, but they ultimately yield to its curative powers. Asthmatic persons, who previously had nbt been able to lie down in bed, hate received the utmost benefit, and others suf fering from Influenza have been speedily cured by this valuable medicine.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Baron ALDERSON.) SENTENCES ON THE PRISONERS. Immediately after the sitting of the Court at nine o'clock, the several prisoners, who had been previously convicted, to the number of 20 or 30, were put for ward for sentence. His LORDSHIP addressed them at considerabla length, and with great ability, as follows :—He said, you have all been convicted on very clear evidence of having been engaged in riotous attacks on property in the town of Manchester; and undoubtedly the of fence of which you, and others like you, have been guilty, is one of a very serious nature. These things are not now for the first time heard of in the world ; and if people would but attend to those things which have gone before, and would see what consequences follow, and have followed, in former instances, all attempts of this kind, even when partially successful, they would see that the work ing classes do themselves the greatest injury by entering into combinations and conspiracies, which end in those riots of which we have had so many cases here. Let us look a little to the history of matters of this description. In a neighbouring county not many years ago, there was an insurrection pre cisely like the recent one here—l mean in the manu facturing town of Lyons, in the kingdom of France. In the year 1831, a large body of workmen in that town insisted on getting particular wages, which it was impossible, in the opinion of the masters, to give. They published what they called a "tariff of wages." They were successful ; but what was the effect ? The working classes in 1831, at Lyons, resolved upon a general turn-out, in order to obtain a uniform scale of prices for their work, and before three years were passed, thei r " t ar iff" prov e d t o h ave V been less than the improved state of trade enabled the masters to offer; but it was hardly promulgated, when the leading houses of Lyons, finding it impos sible to pay the prices, came to a determination to stop their work. The consequence was, that thousands of looms were left without employment. What then followed ? Bitterness, anger, strife, resentment, in surrection, in the year 1834 ! Those who had begun this state of things by the successful tariff of the workmen in 1831 ended it in an open insurrection in the streets of Lyons, in which the authorities were put to flight ; the Prefect, who corresponded with the Mayors in this country, was taken prisoner ; ten thousand troops were brought into the town; the mob were successful, they beat the soldiers back ; and. what was the end ? Within a week after, the prin cipal insurgents were begging for work, the leaders quitted Lyons, left their families to starve; all parties concurred in replacing the authorities, and this W:`3 the end of all the miseries which began with the "tariff" in 1831 ; it ended in a suc cessful insurrection in 1834, leaving the parties who originated it the most miserable of all the rest. All this has happened in your life time. All this would happen if you were permitted to be successful in this country—worse, indeed, would happen in this country; for the population here are more confined together and thicker, and therefore they would suffer greater misery. It becomes necessary, under these circumstances, for the sake of yourselves, and persons like you, that the law should interpose a remedy, in order that, by the weapons of reason and authority, as well as by the terrors and severity of punishment, we may endeavour to suppress those crimes of which you stand convicted on the present occasion. William Lees, James Sheridan, George Turner, Joseph Shaw, Richard Stacy, John Abbot, John Smith, Suttcliff, Hill, Gilhbrand, Walker, and John son, were then sentenced by the Learned Judge to periods of punishment, with hard labour, from fifteen to nine months. John Tear, whose offence was of a more serious kind, - and which has been fully given in The Sun, was sentenced to he imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years, and that he give security himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each, for his good behaviour for two years after, and that he be kept in gaol until his securities be forthcoming. Twelve other prisoners had periods of imprisonment and hard labour also awarded them. RIOTS AND CONSPIRACIES AT VARIOUS PLACES. Eleven prisoners were discharged on entering into their own recognizances. James Jones, Wm. Bell; Ambrose Hunt, and Samuel Yardley, pleaded Guilty to a charge of riot and conspiracy, and were ordered to be imprisoned at Kirkdale for six calendar months, and at the expira tion of that time to enter into their own recognisances in 1001., and two sureties in 251. each, to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for two years. This being the last of the cases for trial before Baron Alderson, his Lordship discharged the Jury, and left the Court at 12 o'clock. MAGISTRATES ROOM.—TIIURSDAT. (Before Mr. Justice CRESSIT ELL.) The Judge entered the Court at a quarter past nine. RIOT AND CONSPIRACY. Joseph Hitchen, Joseph Mills, Ralph Wolfenien, and John Wright, were indicted for a riot and con spiracy at a place called High Crompton, near Oldham. The Jury found the prisoners guilty, but in conse quence of the previous good character of Wolfenden and Wright, they were allowed to enter into recog nisances to appear when called on. Kitchener and Mills were sentenced to be imprisoned twelve months, and Hitehen bound over to keep the peace for two years after the termination of his imprisonment. men engaged in their lawful avocations, stopped t mills, took out the plugs, and - even destroyed the work of the owners who refused to stop their works. That the country should have been exposed, even for a sin gle day, to such unheard-of tyranny,_ was a thing almost without example. They would excuse some times the feelings of workmen who, on the invention of new mnchinery, and though actuated by mistaken folly, endeavoured to take vengeance on what was sup posed to he the cause of the loss of their labour ; but that workmen should combine together, and, by a system of organisation, assemble in large multitudes for the purpo3e of suspending all labour, was an offence alto gether new, and so pregnant of evil, that he had no conception of any man lending himself to it : and if it had not been that he had reason to believe, from what he had seen, that many of. the unfortunate workmen had been urged on by those of deeper de signs. he should have thought hard any amount of punishment too great for such an once. With re spect to David Taylor, Thomas Dyson, and James Smith, the sentence of the Court was, that they should he imprisoned and kept to hard labour for . the space of one year. With respect to 'Townley, he must sentence him to ten months' imprisonment with hard labour—he limited it to ten months, solely on • account of his you:h. With respect to James Taylor, he was glad to find that the prosecutor was inclined to do that which he (the Judge) felt ranch inclined to do. It appeared that he was a hard-working indus trious man ; it was stated that his intellect was not very strong,. that he had shiTtVit 0-eat piety to his mother and his family; and he therefore acceded to the proposition of the Attorney-General that he should he discharged, after finding securities. TRADE OF CALCUTTA. Pursuing the subject of the trade of Bengal, in a comparison of the periods commencing 1837-38, and including 1841-42, it appears upon taking the aggre gate amounts both of imports and exports, that the excess of value collectively is 13,82,37,314 Co.'s rs. in flivour of the latter year. The trade connexions of the Presidency with England, or rather the United Kingdom, gives the value of imports in 1837-38 at 205,94,827 Co.'s rs., and in 1841-42 at 330,69,120 Co.'s rs., while the value of exports for these respec tive years are stated at 271,22,222 Co.'s rs., and 474,6 . 9,337 Co.'s rs. The trade with France for these same periods is stated at 15,55,860 Co.'s rs. for imports in 1837-38, and 22,42,864 Co.'s rs. ,for 1841- 42, and the exports are valued at 22,18,058 Co.'s rs., and 65,01,180 Co.'s rs. The trade with North America shows the value of imports and exports of 1837-38 to he 7,29,445 Co.'s rs., and 12,07,370 Co.'s rs. ; while for 1841-42, they are stated at 18,52,204 Co.'s rs., and 29,88,582 Co.'s rs., though 1839-40 was the maximum year for exports, when they reached 34,16,241 Co.'s rs. The trade of the Presidency with China is naturally regarded with much inte rest ; and, therefore, more detail is furnished with respect to that particular branch than others. Ac cording to these figures, the imports in 1837-38 were valued at 67,34,036 Co.'s rs., and the exports at 205,43,781 Co.'s rs.; in 1838-39 the imports in creased to 84,22,695 Co.'s rs., but the exports de creased to 145,65,528 Co.'s rs.; in 1839.40 the imports. suddenly decreased to 27,53,801 Co.'s rs. l and the exports again decreased to 34.14,079 Co.'s, rs. ; in 1840-41 the imports increased to 50,82,423 Co.'s rs., and the exports also advanced in a corresponding degree to 61,12,839 Co.'s rs. ; and, in 1841-42 the imports further rose to 61,02,418 Co.'s rs., and the exports to 99,21,286 Co.'s rs. These fluctuations prove most incontestably the severe pressure the commercial interests have sustained from the interruption to the trade occasioned by the war with China, and which will fully account for the difficulties the merchants connected with that market have encountered. The trade with Singapore ' showed the value of imports for 1837-38, 29,26,593 Co.'s rs., and of exports, 31,75,814 Co.'s rs. ; while for 184242, the imports are valued at 34,47,851 Co.'s rs., and the exports at 57,54,189 Co.'s rs. The trade with Penang and Malacca for 1837-38 showed the value of imports at 992,787 Co.'s rs., and of exports, 652,305 CO.'s rs. ; and for 1841-42, the ralue of imports had decreased to 863,543 Co.'s rs., and the exports to 491,020 Co.'s rs. The trade carried on with the Arabian and Persian Gulfs showed a decrease in imports, but a slight increase in exports, the former for 1837-38, and 1841-42, being 12,34,745 Co.'s rs., and 7,95,381 Co.'s rs., while the latter were stated at 15,73,874 Co.'s rs., and 18,68,396 Co.'s rs., respectively. The trade with Ceylon showed the value of exports in 1837-38 to be 64,887 Co.'s rs., and in 1841-42 they were 249,090 Co.'s rs., but of imports no mention what ever is made. The trade on the Madras and the Coromandel coast showed the imports in 1837-38 to be in value 12,269,089 Co.'s rs., and in 1841-42 17,24,453 Co.'s rs., while for the same years the exports are stated at 11,54,387 Co.'s rs., and 8,22,155 Co.'s rs. respectively. The trade with Bombay and the Malabar coast showed as its results, imports in 1837-38 to the value of 17,15,377 Co.'s rs., and ex ports to the value of 27,71,221 Co.'s rs.; in 1839-40 the imports were 38,93,337 Co.'s rs., and the exports 22,26,116 Co.'s rs. ; and in 1841-42 the imports had decreased to 14,34,739 Co.'s rs., and the exports had risen to 30,57,326 Co.'s rs. The trade with Pegu also showed a proportionate increase, the imports in 1837-38 being 14,26,671 Co.'s rs., while in 1841-42 they had advanced to 18,44,465 Co.'s rs. ; the exports showed an equal advance, their value for 1837-39 being 14,46,973 Co.'s rs., and for 1841-42, 18,61,501 Co.'s rs. The result of the trade with the Mauritius is the last which it is thought ne cessary to detail, as the intercourse with South Ame rica, hamburgh, Bremen, Genoa, Sumatra, and Java, Bourbon, Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, Manilla, New Zealand, and Aden, the other points of Indian commerce, is of a limited character, and would show no practical result, save as corroborative of the general and progressive increase which, taking it on the whole, is exhibited throughout the return. Concluding, therefore, with the Mauritius, it is stated, that the imports of that island in 1837-38 were 467,954, but this had declined in 1841-42 to 94,846 Co.'s rs. The exports for 1837-38 were 15,49,046 Co.'s rs.; and for 1841-42, 18,17,529. As a finish to this analysis of the trade of Bengal, it may be added, that whereas the collections at Cal cutta on imports in 1837-38 were 2,70,936 Co.'s rs., in 1641-42 they amounted to 51,45,760 Co.'s rs. The India papers regret that no elucidation of the same kind has yet been attempted with the periodical re turns of Bombay and Madras, since if such compari sons were in existence they could, it is said, be brought into a compass, so as to give at one glance a fair estimate of the progress of commerce in the three Presidencies.

Mrs. Trollope, in her I " Visit to Italy," has the following:— " Instead of going as usual to the Casina after dinner yesterday, I was taken a mile or two out of Florence to pay a visit from which I promised myself great pleasure, and received more. I went to see Europe's whilom wonder and delight, Madame Catalani Valabrique. . She is residing in a very beautiful villa which stands in the midst of an extensive podere, of which she is the owner. Nothing could be more amiable than the reception she gave us. I think of all .the nations who joined in the universal chorus in praise of her high character, her charming qualities, and her un equalled talent, . she loves the English best . . . per hats they best understand her worth, and the rare superiority of a mind that, in the midst of flattery and adulation, which really • seem to have known. no i limits, preserved all its simple purity and goodness 1 unscathed. I was equally Surprised and pleased to see to what an ex t raor di nary d egree s h e h a d preserve d her l.eauty. her eyes and teeth are still magnificent and I am told -that, when seen in evening full dress by candlelight, no stranger can tee her for the first time without inquiring who that charming looking woman is. A multitude of well-behaved reasons would have prevented me, especially at this my first introduction, from naming the very vehe ment desire I felt once more to hear the notes a a voice that had so often enchanted me. Perhaps if I had not seen her looking so marvellously young and hand some, the idea might. neither have seized upon . nor tormented. me so strongly as it did ;_ but, as it was, I certainly never longed more, perhaps never so much, ,to hear her sing as I now did. Her charming daughter, Madame de V—, was sitting near me ; atul 1 think I ventured to ask her if her mother ever sang now.. 'l'o which she most gaily and promptly answered in the affirmative . . . and then . . . what happened next I hardly know. .I am afraid that I must have said something about my secret longings . . . for the daughter whispered to the mother a few words, and in a moment Madame Catalani was at the piano. . . . No, in her rely best days she never smiled a sweeter smile than she (lid then, as she - prepared to comply with the half expressed wishes of a stranger, who lied no claim upon her kindness but that of being an Englishwoman. I know not what it was she sang; but scarcely had she permitted her voice to swell into one of those bravura passages of which her execution was very peculiar, and so perfectly unequalled, than I felt as if some magical process was being performed upon ire which took me back again to something . . . . I know riot what to call it . . . . which I had neither heard nor felt for nearly twenty years. Involuntarily, unconsciously, my eyes filled with tears, and I Mt fiti much trnbartissed as a young lady of fifteen might do, who suddenly found herself in the act of betray ing emotions which she was very far indeed from wishing to display." tUBLIC EDUCATION IN NAPLES. (From the Foreign Quarterly Review.) Whatever travellers may have found to extol in Naples, all agree in placing it about the last in the list of all the lands of Christendom, as far as public education is concerned. Even Dr. Mayer has but little to say on this score in favour of his Neapolitans, who, he admits, are the most ignorant of all the Ita lians. For the -humbler classes there are no means of education whatever, and the clergy, unable to judge of the value of instruction from personal experience, boldly declare mental cultivation mischievous to the poor. Those in easy circumstances are but little bet ter instructed. Their education is in a great measure confined to the enforcement of a certain set of reli gious observances ; to the acquisition of a few agree able accomplishments, such as music and verse-making; and to an outward polish of manners. So long as all colleges and schools, public and private, are under the control of a Giunta Istruzione Publics, composed almost exclusively of Neapolitan clergyman, an im provement of the system is hardly to be hoped for. There are in Naples probably from ninety to one hundred thousand boys and girls between the ages of five and eighteen. Of these, from fotir to five thou sand are supposed to receive some sort of instruction. In the provinces the proportions are even less favour able. Two thousand girls, Galena calculates, visit some school or other; but of these two thousand, less than a fifth, he says,-are even taught to read ; their teachers, in many cases, being themselves unequal to the task of imparting this elementary branch of in struction. The children, in fact, are sent to school, merely to be out of their parents' way; and if they learn to knit and sew, it is generally as much as is expected. . There is in the whole kingdom of Naples but one school which even professes to prepare young men for the university.; and this school, the Real Lice() del Salvatore, contains about one hundred and fifty pupils. The demands made upon a Neapolitan scholar are, however,-extremely moderate. Greek is taught only nominally, and is not thought requisite even in a cler gyman. In Latin the students acquiregreat fluercy ; a circumstencenot be wondered at when the affinity between the two languages is taken into account. Mathematics are also taught at the Lyceum with much success. history is in a most deplorable position, being made entirely subservient to theology. The Neapolitan colleges are, for the most part, academies attached to monasteries, and superintended by monks. The Coll eg i o di San Sebastian°, conducted by the Jesuits, enjoys by far the best name. It contains usually about five hundred pupils, and has a reputa tion for mathematics even beyond that of the Liceo. The lyceums and colleges of the provincial towns have rarely any existence but in the State calender ; ;inquire after one of them, and you seldom find any thing but a mere elementary school. The . University of Naples was founded by Frede rick TI., in 1224. To this university fifty-two pro fessors are attached; six for theology, fourteen , for physical and mathematical science, sixteen for medi cine, eight for jurisprudence, and eight for philosophy and literature. The small number of theological professorships is easily accounted for by the fact that the young men for the church are mostly educated at the archiepiscopal seminary, or Seminario Urbano. Theology, however, is wretchedly taught at both in stitutions. The teachers are watched with the most anxious vigilance ; are obliged to confine themselves to a most rigid line of orthodoxy ; and have no op portunity of varying their lectures, except by an oc casional invective against heretics, or a humourous ac count of certain imaginary tenets which they fancifully ascribe to the barbarous Protestants of the north. The mathematical and physical sciences are sufficiently well taught. The same remark will apply to medi cine ; the various hospitals and charitable institutions forming excellent schools for the students. Ore abo minable abuse, however, prevails; that, namely, of granting medical diplomas to ignorant monks, who have indeed to undergo an examination, but a much less rigid one than the lay students. History, philo logy, and philosophy are in a melancholy condition. There is a Hebrew professor attached to the univer sity ; and this man, anxious to have at least one pupil, issaid for several years to have had a poor priest to at tend his class. The fact is that a clergyman suspected of reading the Scriptures either in Greek or Hebrew, is lOoked upon with great jealousy, and his orthodoxy is held to be none of the soundest. The number of holidays are alone a said interrup tion to every kind of study. T hursda y is a holiday in all Italian schools, unless a church festive_ happen in the week. Then there is a vacation of three weeks at Easter, and one of four m onths in autumn,_ begin ning on the 4th of July. H owever, p ublic i education, such as it is, costs noth ; ng , which is about its ntrinsisi value. Each professor is bound to give one lesson daily. This lesson is public, and fr ee _ to all wh o choose to come. The lesson lasts half an hour, and consists usually of a di sc ourse hrld by the professor ; the students listening with decorous silence, but without attempting t o take any note of their teach er ' s remarks. At the conclusion of the lecture, the students ap plaud, c lapping their hands or k nocking with their books or canes. The professors are i‘Te teliedly paid. Fifty ducati ( a b out ten guineas) a year they receive for their lectu res , b es id es a trifling salary of three or four hundred du e caFew have more than six hundred ducati in all for their public services. Upon such an income, of course., they cannot subsist. Th ey are obliged to eke out their means by giving private lessons, and in those private lessons it is that the students receive the little instruction that falls to their share. Th e un i vers ity is attended nominallyby twelve or fifteen hundred students ; but professors and students are both equally irregular i n their attendance, and nothing like an effective control is ever attempted. When the student comes to take his degree,._ sisted. on is the only point rigidly in ; certificate of regular attendance at church. On this subject of education we need only add, that a military and a naval school exist at Naplee, but are entitled in their way to very little higher praise than the UniVersita or the Liceo. eXUSII OF SUDDEN DEATII.—At an inquest hell on Tuesday, before Mr. Higgs, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, on the body of a lady who died in a very sudden manner, the Coroner , in alludin g to the cause (f sudden death, said that in all his experience of Coroner for the last twenty-three years, he never recollected holding an inquest on a medical man who died suddenly, and had but rarely heard of any one dying in a sudden manner. This he thought arose f ro m their knowing the value of aperient medicine, and, by taking them regularly, keeping the body in a proper state. Ajuror said that in some cases of sudden (bath a verdict of " Died by the visitation of , God' was returned, whilst in others " Natural death" svas recorded ; he should like to know what difference there was between them. The Coroner said, very little; but he thought that in all cases where de a th was very sudden, wi th ou t any prev i ous illness, "Di ed by the visitati on o f G o d" was th e mos t pro?" ve rdict to be returned, FOR GRANTING LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &e.

Annual Division of Profits. F. FERGUSON CAINIRJUX, Secretary. ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY. John Marcroft was indicted for being present at a riot at Butterworth's mill, in Spotland, on the 18th of August last. The Jury immediately found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment._ CONSPIRACY. Isaac Hoyle, William Booth, Thomas Ogden, John Chisenhall, and John Wolstencroft, were charged with unlawfully conspiring together, to impede, by threats and intimidation, the carrying on of the trade and manufactures of the country. Chisenhall and Wolstencroft pleaded guilty, and the rest not guilty. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty. They were sentenced to be imprisoned for eighteen months, and, at the expiration of that time, enter into sureties, themselves in 251., and two others in 501. each, to keep the peace for two years after the term of their imprisonment had expired. Chisenhall and Wolstencroft were allowed to enter into recognisances to appear when called upon. Thomas Ash Croft, Thomas Marshall, and Joseph Fletcher, charged with riot and conspiracy at Ash ton -under-Lyne were sentenced to s i x mon th s ' hn prisonment and ;lard labour. His LORDSHIP then thanked the Jury for their at tendance, and hoped they would not have to meet again on a similar occasion. The Court broke up about three O'clock. PRIUS.—THURSDAY. (Before Lord ASINGER.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to reply in the case of Dyson and others, which was left unfinished on 'Wednesday, after which, the Judge recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury retired to consider of their verdict. They returned in a short time with a ver dict of Guilty against all the prisoners. Lord ABINGER in passing sentence, said, Thomas Dyson had pl ea d e d guilty, and the Jury had found the remainder guilty of the charge alleged against them, which'was that of conspiracy, which appeared to be conducted on a very grand scale, viz.—that they assembled in vast multitudes to turn out all the work- SENTENCE UPON BELL AND OTHERS. The prisoners who pleaded guilty, on Wednesday, to an indictment charging them with a riot and con spiracy at Eccles, were brought up for judgment. Lord A BINGER, in passing sentence, said the pri soners had been indicted for a conspiracy and riot, and they had pleaded guilty to the indictment against them.—The sentence upon John Tootle and William Forrest was, that they should be imprisoned for nine months, and afterwards to enter into sureties to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour for the space of two years—themselves in 1001., and two sureties for each in 251. The sentence upon Andrew Shearson, John Ben, Thomas Hughes, Edward Williams, John Eccles, and George Grimshaw, was, that they should he imprisoned for six calendar months, and enter into like recognisances, with sureties to the same amount to be of good character, and keep the peace, and to continue in prison till they found the sureties. As to Alexander Baird and Leonard Boardman, against whom the Attorney-General did not pray judgment, they would have to enter into their recognisances to appear and receive the judgment of the Court when called upon. They would have no sentence passed upon them at present, but would have to find two sureties in 25/., and enter themselves into recogni sauces of 1001. each. ASSAULT AND RIOT. Thomas Holt, 35, was indicted for riot, and with having maliciously and unlawfully wounded William Cheetham with a stone, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. He was sentenced to be im prisoned for two years, and kept to hard labour. CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY AND RIOT. John Ward, 20, was placed at the bar, charged with rioting and conspiracy at Staleybridge, and, by force and violence, compelling her Majesty's subjects to desist from working, but no case was made out against the prisoner. Having ascertained that there was no other case for trial, Lord ABINGER, addressing the Jury , said he was happy to inform them that they were now discharged. His Lordship retired a few minutes before one. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MA- GISTRATES. After the disposal of some routine matters on Thurs day, the Report of the Visiting Justices of the House of Correction was read. The Report stated that the number of prisoners confined in the gaol was 1,058, of which 761 were males, and 297 females ; in addi tion to whom there. were , 13 children. The Visiting Justices congratulated the Bench as well as the public on the extremely healthy condition of the prisoners, there being not more than one (as we u nderstood) in the infirmary.—(llear.) Mr. Wir.K.s, in moving that the Report be adopted - and printed for circulation amongst the Magistracy of the county, begged to call the particular attention of the Bench to the highly gratifying s t a tement with regard to healthiness. It was n o t long since a person who was now carrying on (as was understood) a prosperous business as a miller, had come up to town and expressed his gratitude for the good principles which had been infused into him during his confine ment as a punishment for a crime of a minor character. Mr. HALL seconded the motion. In answer to a question put by Mr. LAURIE, The GOVERNOR replied that the silent system had been in operation in the House of Correction between seven and eight years, and that he had not had a single case of insanity arising from its adoption.—(Hear.) Mr. LAURIE thought that the Court would most readily concur in the motion of the Hon. and Learned Magistrate. The present was a period when the public were particularly alive to the sanatory condi tion of the people—(Hear)--a n d the statements con tained in the Report would be hailed by all parties. — (H ea r.) Statements of a similar nature, if he re membered rightly, had been made by the Visiting Justices of the Westminster New Bridewell—(Hear) —and he was happy to add that the same satisfactory results had come to pass in the City of London. — (Hear, hear.) Indeed, he found, on a reference to the reports of the Inspectors of Prisons, that a vast improvement had taken place in the healthiness within prisons in most parts of the country ; for, out of 81,000 persons who had been committed in execu tion of their sentences, there hid been but 246 cases of illness, being something less than one quarter per cent. in one year. With these facts before them, there could be no doubt but that throughout England there was a greater state of health within than out of t t l ( t i e o hear.) With respect to that s y s t e m, it had come to his knowl e d ge th a t th e Ki ng ap p t r e idso.f.(Hear, The system of separat i on t h ey h a d not of Prussia had sent out an agent to Philadelphia to i in that country ; and that gentleman, examined most minutely into the results of its o p era tion, had made a Report luire into wherein he had rep robrate d the plan in the strongest i t after i ts `c orkin g having terms.—(Hear, hear.) But it was not necessary that they should go so far as America to prove the cruelty and impolicy of that system. The system of separa tion had been introduced into the Penitentiary at Millbank, about six years ago, and he held in his hand a return of the number of prisoners who had been sent to Bethlehem Hospital from that prison in an insane state during the six years preceding the in troduction of the solitary .system, from which he found that during that period there had been seven cases ; whilst in the six years of its operation the number of victims had amounted to twenty-seven. — (Hear, hear.) There could be no doubt as to the ac curacy of this statement, because the return he had read from was that of the steward of Bethlehem Hos pital, made under the Act of Parliament. This, then, was an increase of something like 400 per cent. They could not, he lamented to say, take up y a paper with out meeting with some wretched instance of the pain ful consequences of the system ; and only yesterday he had seen that the varlet Bean was now suffering alarmingly from its effects. It was indeed frightful. It was a matter of surprise to him that the Coroner for Westminster, and the juries who sat on inquests taken in the Penitentiary, should go on ca se after case returning lerdicts of " p!ed hy the visitation of God"—(Hear, hear) —when it was impossible for them not to see that many, if not all of the deaths, were the immediate result of the solitary system. Mr. TuLx could not go quite so far as his Hon. and Learned Friend in opposition to the solitary system, nor could he ascribe all the illness in the Penitentiary to its adoption. With respect. to the Penitentiary, and the lamentable results which had befallen some of its unfortunate inmates, -be was inclined to ascribe them to the separate system, coupled with the bail situation of the building. He had recently been to Shrewsbury, where lie found that the separate system had worked most beneficially. After some further discussion, the motion was agreed to. age d ten years, the d aug ht er o f at o. 4, N or th- street. ing. l , 3e s t‘ t \ i - s e a e n n p s : i t x rke a r n , d seven o'clock on Thursday even resl)ectable parents, living Dean's-yard, Westminster, was brought into West minster Hospital, with a compound fracture of the right thigh, both her jawbones broken, the whole of the lower front teeth forced into her mouth, and her face frightfully lacerated.

N EWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. THURSDAY EVENING. — To the aecount of this after noon's races we have little to add ; the matches were won easy, and the Plate was one of the hollowest things for a handicap that has been seen this season. eta Mie was pulling hard all the way, and won in a canter ; Lasso was an indifferent third, Palladium was beaten early, and, as was everything else in the race, beaten off a long way. The betting in the town after the races was inter rupted by a long discussion as to whether Scott's Derby lot, as betted against, includes all the horses belonging to the gentlemen who habitually train with him, or those only that were in training at the time of betting. The discussion arose out of an offer to back one of Major Yarburgh's two (Dumpling and Mahornet), one of which only (Dumpling) was included in the list of the lot pub lished after Doncaster races ; it appears that neither of them has yet arrived at Scott's stables, and those who have laid against the lot insist not only that they cannot be considered as belonging to it, but that any of Lord Chesterfield's, Colonel .Anson's, or Mr. Bowes's horses, that are not yet in training, must br, excluded. The opposite party argue that the lot laid against comprehends horses belonging to Scott's regular masters, saving only such as may have been purchased or -sold by them since the list was published. Who is to decide this knotty point, now that the J. C. has ceased to arbitrate on betting differences, is a difficult question to settle ; it is clear that until it be settled Scott's lot must be a dead letter. The pro and conning continued until five o'clock, and was followed by a few bets on the Derby, Sze., at the following prices : DERBY. 11 to 1 ngst Brit.

The Houghton week is expected to be unusually brilliant. WIGNEYS' BANKRUPTCY. On Thursday morning a meeting took place, at the Town-hall, Brighton, before Messrs. Merrifield, Attree, and Cooper, under the fiat issued against Messrs. Wigney, for the audit of accounts and proof of debts. Mr. Furner, Mr. Upperton, and Mr. Verrall, of the firm of Upperton and Co., attended as solicitors for the assignees. Amongst the debts proved was one for 6301.35. 6d., by Mr. Slight, for the Commissioners of Brighton. Mr. Dale attended to prove a debt of 400/. ;_ 3001. was deposited on an interest note in 1 833 , and 1001. on the sth of January, 1836. Mr. Furner submitted that the debt was barred by the Statute of Limitations. The interest notes mere not properly stamped securities. They werebot such documents as could be recovered upon. Mr. Commissioner COOPER said the question was whether the payment of interest within the six years was sufficient to take it out of the Statute of Limita tions and make it a running account? Mr. Bennett cited a case where the payment of a drainage account was held sufficient to create a run ning account. Mr. Bennett submitted that the pay ment of interest was quite sufficient to prove that it was a running account. • The Commissioners rejected the proof. CAUTION TO ELECTION COMMITTEES. _ . Mr. Price, of lierrison Arms Hove, attended to prove for 2131. 13s. 10d. against the private estate of Mr. I. N. Wigney for goods supplied at the last elec tion. Mr. Price's house was the head-quarters of the western committee, and the account was for three weeks' score. Mr. Commissioner COOPER inquired whether the orders were given by Mr. Newton Wigney himself. Mr. Price admitted that he was one of the commit tee, and that Mr. Wigney never gave the orders, but was aware his house was open. Mr. Wigney was at the committee-room the night it was agreed the house should be opened. Mr. Thomas Cooper acted as Chairman, and gave the orders. The account was disputed, when it was agreed to be referred to arbitra tion; but whilst that was going on the bank stopped. Mr. Commissioner MERRIFIELD said there was no proo f whatever to charge Mr. I. N. Wigney. Mr. Price might have recovered it against the committee, but unfortunately he was a committee-man himself, and had consequently lost his claim against them. Proof disallowed. Mr. Marchant tendered a proof for 551. 7s. 2d., which was also rejected; but in this case he was in formed he had a remedy against the committee. The meeting then adjourned until eleven o'clock the following day. The new penal code and code of criminal procedure, which, by order of the Pope, have been drawn up by a Committee composed of the most eminent legists in Italy,. presided over by Cardinal Bernetti, have just been published. These two codes, entitled " Regola mento Organico di Procedure Criminale," and " Re golamento Organico oui delitti sue le pene," are a real work of improvement, and bear the mark of an enlightened , philanthropy. By them all the privi leges and *exemptions hitherto enjoyed by the higher classes are abolished. They establish the perfect equality of all citizens before the law, that no person can be withdrawn frem his natural judges. They maintain no exceptional tribunals except the ecclesiastical ones, and those only for per 7 s.ms in orders, and for crimes and misdemean ours committed in the exercise of their functions. The punishment of death is preserved, hut restricted to a very small number of crimes. All other punishments. evidently have for object the amendment of the indi viduals on whom they are inflicted. As to foreigners, the enactments which relate to them are exceechngly liberal. After a delay of two months together in any part of the Pontifical States, they are no longer to be amenable in criminal matters to the police authorities, but to the ordinary tribunals, and in all cases in which they shall be found guilty of misdemeanours, or slight' Offences with extenuating circumstances, they are to be condemned to the smallest amount of p unshment.— Galignani.
