THIS excellent and truly nutritive " Break last and Evening Beverage" is highly conducive to health. A fortnight's use thereof will satisfactorily esta blish its superiority to either Tea, Coff e, or Chocolate, for digestion and nutrition. The Public have long felt the wane of a beverage of a more nutritive and aromatic nature than either of those that have been hitherto in use, which, for the most part, leave a nervous heating and agitating sensation very injurious to health. To remedy tips deficiency, Mr. Morison, the Hygeist, presents to the Public a beverage better fitted for their constitutions. To the nervous, the irritable, and those afflicted with sleep less nights, the use thereof as their constant Evening beverage will prove highly beneficial. To all Mariners it will prove a valuable acquisition, as possessing qualities decidedly anti-scorbutic, and preventive of diseases inci dental to sea voyages. It will keep any length of time, and i❑ any climate. Prepared and sold by Morison, Friedlander, and Co., at 10, Queen Charlotte-row, New-road (near the Stingo), London; and may be had of all the Hygeian Agents of the British College of Health throughout the kingdom.

The great success of this Medi cine during the last Twenty-five Years has induced un principled persons to imitate it, under the name of Ameri can Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, &c. Parents will, therefore, be very particular to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that the Names of Barclay and Sons, 95, Farriegdon-street, London (to whom Mrs. Johnson has sold the recipe), is on th! Stamp aflixed to each Bottle. This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past recovery, from Convulsions arising from painful dentition. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the Gums the Child will be relieved, the Gums cooled, and the inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as efficacious, tending to produce the Teeth with ease ; and so pleasant, that no Child will refuse to let its Gums he rubbed with it. When Infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the Gums ; and Parents should never he without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young Children ; for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the Gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease ; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c.

SOKEN WARD.—At five last evening the poll was closed, and the following were th' number 4 :—For Mr. SCALES, 155—for Mr. JOHNSON, 70—mujority for Mr. SCALES, S 5. The LORD MAYOR then declared " MICHAEL SCALES, Esq., citizen and butcher, duly elected Alder man." Mr. SCALES, in returning thanks, said he should not carry with him from the place a single recollection of the past, but be would use his best exertions to reconcile all party feelings and prejudices of friends and opponents. He expressed a hop, that the Court of Aldermen would now give way to circumstances. Mr. SCALES moved a vote of thanks to the Lotto MAYOIt, and mentioned a cir cumstance not generally known : the LORD MAYOR paid the whole of the • expenses incurred in entertaining the QUEEN and suite out of his own pocket. The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said the circumstance of entet tain'ng her MAJESTY would be to himself a source of gratification through life. He had thane so with all the digni'y which he pos•essed—(Much laughter) —and the only circumstance which at all annoyed him on that occasion was, the introduction of one of the Common o , tricilinen, whose name he did not wish to repeat. " Only think," said his Lordship, " of the idea of intro ducing to the QUEEN, while under the roof of tie Man sion.house. Mr. DEATH. " -(Loud laughter.) The ward mote was then dissolved. THE SMUGGLER.—TO the number of those distinguished writers whose productions have already been hrought out in a cheap and ports le form in " The Stan dard Novels," is now added the names of Mr. BAtaist, the well-known author of " Toe O'Hara T des." " The Smuggler," which forms the volume just published, will now be within the reach of all classes. In this story, Mr. BANIM has entered a new field, and drawn the English as he drew the Irish, evidently from life; vigorous paintings, such as we might imagine HOGARTH outlined, and REM BRANDT coloured. The reality with which he invests his scenes is that of life ; his peasants and smugglers are all identical individu ils, and brought into strong relief. The novels of COOPER—of GODWIN—of Miss AusTEK—all betraying genius of the highest order, but of a different kind, show that variety is not wanting to suit the taste of the reader, who is at liberty to select not only the works ~f any particular writer, but even any volume he may think fit from among this admirable collection of modern novels and romances. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—EAST RETFORD, JUNE 27.—We have little to communicate this week, more than was given in our last; the growth of the plant has remained nearly the same, owing to the cold winds which had prevailed, and which in some exposed situations have certainly been productive of some injury. In some of the plantations, too, the growers either have, or suppose they have, an increase of fly; this is, however, by no means general ; there is nothing particularly amiss with them yet, providing the wea th er prove more warm and genial ; there is no doubt, however, that should the present cold nights continue, the pr,gress of the plmt to maturity will be retarded, and the crops of course much lessened in bulk. Some forwarded trines are getting into blossom ; but the prices cc old hops are very firm.— Doncaster Gazette. HORRIBLE BARBARITY.—In the Spacious paddock fronting the Crescent houses, in Taunton, are several beautiful deer and foreign goats, and among them was a full-grown fawn, which, having attracted general notice, by its gentleness, hail become a pet animal with the respectable families of that neighbourhood. On Monday week last, some brutal villain committed the monstrous cruelty of cu tti ng ou t it s t ongue ! and other wise so mutilating it as to occasion its death.- , —Bath Herald. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the" London New Price Current" of yesterday.) su Gk e.—The large arrivals, averaging about 6,000 hhds. per week, and the determinatioe of the buyers to purchase only for their immediate wants, has given the market a languid ap pearance, and the purchases of the week are limited to 2,700 hhds. and trs., yet the holders are firm, and will not submit to any reduction in price. In the Refined trade there is no va riation; the purchases are quite inconsiderable—the prices steady. It ought to be observed that the wholesale grocers are entirely out of stock, and that for a length of time no pur. chases have been made, to any extent, for export. Refined Sugars at present appear to be quite neglected, there being scarcely any business doing either for the home trade or for shipping; in prices, however, there is no material ateration to quote; the fine descriptions of Crashed are offered more freely at 305., and one or two small parcels are reported to have been sold a shade under that price. MAURITIUS SUGAR —The sales of Mauritius this week are about 11,000 bags; the yellow about 525. and 535. sold lower, on account of the great quantity of that description brought for ward ; all other qualities went off at full market prices. This day, by public sale, 4,547 bags Mauritius Sugar, low brown 50s. a 51s. fid., yellow 535. a 555., fine yellow 575. 6d., all sold about 6d. dearer. EAST INDIA SUGAR.-There have been inconsiderable sales of Siam Sugars, mid. to good white 225. 6d. a 2`.35. 6d., and Ben gals also at previous rates.

An inquest was held at Nottingham, on Thursday last, on the body of RICHARD ELLIOTT, Who was shot i❑ a scuffle, by a man named R.CHARD LOWATER. The jun, after hearing evidence, returned a verdict of_. Wilful Murder. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-1l 0 USE. FORGERY.—Thursday an elderly woman, whose ap pearance was extremely fantastical, was put to the bar upon a charge of forgery. When the LORD MAYOR ask. d her what her name was, she curtsied several times, ard said that she was the Hon. Miss Ponsonby, and that she lived in Wales, at a place where a bill went up to the house. It was evident from her conduct that her object was to be taken for a mad woman. The Lord Mayor told her that she might as well answer rationally, but she kept up the farce all through the examination. John Williams, draper, of No. 124, Fenchurch-street, deposed that the prisoner walked into his shop and looked at some gingham. After a little while she asked for a pen and ink, and upon receiving them she wrote some thing on a piece of paper at one part of the counter, after which she moved over to another part. Witness showed her some more goods, but she begged to be excused at that moment, and asked where Hankey's bank was. When witness gave her the direction, she said she must go there, but suddenly proposed that he should go for her. Wit ness told her that his lad should do what she required, and she immediately handed to him a bill drawn upon Hankey and Co., and signed "Fellows and C 0.," for the sum of 92/. 55., and payable fourteen days after date. The lad went over to vie bpk-house to get the cash, and the prisoner soon began to show great uneasiness. Witness spread more goods before her eyes, but she was too fidgetty to take notice of them, asked whether he would be back instantly, and went to the door in evident expectation. The lad was detained some time, during which her anxiety increased. At last the boy came back, accompanied by a person from the banking-house, but she was on a sudden missing. Prisoner—Yes, we all went galloping, galloping, and all their arms went lolloping lolloping. The LORD MAYOR—Did she go on with any of these antics in your shop ? Witness—Not at all until elle was taken into custody, and charged with the offence. 8 1, e was very anxious to know whether the lad was trustworthy, and asked several times whether I could depend upon him. After being absent a short time she returned to the shop, and asked whether the lad had returned. 1 said he had, and asked her in to receive her money, but she was disinclined to enter. Witness added, that he sent for an officer, who apprehended her at the corner of Gracechurch-street, at tempting to escape. The LORD MAYOR asked her whether she was disposed to get out of her tantrums, and tell him where she got the bill, and who had employed her to present it? Prisoner —Oh, dear! yes, to be sure, we all galloped up the hill, anti down the hill, and over the hill.—(Laughter. ) The LORD MAYOR—WeII, you shall go to the Compter, and perhaps to-morrow you will give a better account of yourself. The prisoner —Oh, dear ! thank you, thank you. The bill was then exhibited. Upon the back of it were several names. The signature, " Fellows and C 0.," was written in a bold hand, but was palpably a forgery. The shopkeeper's boy, when he went to the banking house, was asked :rom whom he had rece ved the bill, and he said from a lady who was an old customer at his mas ter's shop. That was a mistake of his. The bill was refused. A police officer,who apprehended the prisoner, stated,that when she saw he was going to search her she thrust her hand through her pocket holes, and he, upon forcing open her clenched fist, found two 201. and four 5/. Bank of Eng land notes, besides a sovereign and some silver, in her hand. She was then remanded, persisting as she was leaving the room, in the declaration that she was the lion. Miss Ponsonby. It was observed by every body in the Jt.stice room, that she cocked her ears very sharply when the officer was mentioning the particulars of the sum which he took out of her hand, although during the former part of the investigation she started quite wide on the subject. She was yesterday brought up for a second examina tion. A respectable solicitor, who is also a partner in a banking house at Woolwich, stated that he knew the female and her husband, who was a very unexceptionable character, and that the case was in a train of investiga tion, which would probably prove that no forgery was committed. The LORD MAYOR then postponed the further consi deration of the charge. MARLB OR 0 UGH-STREET. James Smith was brought before Mr. DYER, charged with ste ding two valuable pointers, the property of Lord Jielbou from his country seat, Herts. The prisoner was remanded. HAT T GARDEN. CHARGE OF BIGAMY.— William Lane, a man about 40 years of age, was finally examined before Mr. Sergeant SELLON, charged with having inttrmairied with Maria North, alias Finmore, his first wife being still living. The Pro secutrix became acquainted with the prisoner in May last, when be came to work at her master's house as a painter. He proposed marriage, and they were united in the same month at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. She shortly afterwards discovered that his first wife was living in Camden -terrace, Islington, who had three children by him, and that he was in the habit of ill-using her. Sarah Hudeburgh was present at the first marriage in 1817, as a witness. Mrs. Mary Wish was a witness pre sent at the second marriage. Mr. J. G. Leigh, deputy parish clerk of St. George's church, Hanover-square, was present at the second mar riage. The bans were called and duly published, and he produced an attested copy of the entry in the bans' book.—The prisoner was fully committed for trial. THAMES POLICE. EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION.-Thursday Thornas Henry, the mate, and John Wood, the carpenter, of the brig Matchless, of Aberdeen, now lying in the St. Ka tharine Dock, and which has lately arrived from Bahia with a cargo of sugar and coffee, attended before Mr. BALLANTINE, to explain the circumstances connected with the sudden disappearance of Captain Nicholls, the master of the vessel, at sea. The inquiry originated out of an application made by a Gentleman to the Magistrate on Wednesday evening, who stated that the Captain and a boy bad disappeared during the voyage; that the ship had been brought home in charge of the mate; and that, from the fact of the crew having left the vessel directly she arrived in the port of London, and other suspicious circumstances, it was strongly suspected that the Captain and boy had been murdered. Mr. Nicholls, the brother of the deceased Captain, and several Gentlemen, his friends, were present during the investigation. Mr. BALLANTINE read the journal from the 27th of November to the 4th of December la-t, when the Captain was missing, from which it appeared that he displayed evident symptoms of insanity during that time, and be haved in such a strange way as to endanger the lives of all hands on board. He laboured under a delusion that the crew "ere mutinous and wou'd not obey his lawful com m ends, though they always did their duty with alacrity. One day he asked the mate to take charge of the ship. and bring her through the Straits of Messina; hut on his refusal to do so, and telling him that be bad the com mand, he confined the mate below. He subsequently veered the ship in contrary direction, at one time standing for Corfu, and at another making for Messina. He swore that it was a day later than it really was, and on the mate refusing to alter the dates in the log-book, he compelled the carpenter to nail it to the companion. Many other strange acts were mentioned in the log-book, such as his ordering the cook to he bound land and foot, asking the crew to put him ashore at Calabria, throwing a piece of wood overboard, and swearing lie would go ashore upon it, and speaking to the Captain of an American ship to supply him with fresh hands. On the morning of the 4th of December, when the ship was within a few miles of Messina, he came below, and borrowed pen and ink of the mate. Soon afterwards, and while a portion of the ship's company were at breakfast, he took the helm from the carpenter, and sent him below, and ordered a boy named Jefferies to take it. After the carpenter was gone he sent time boy forward and took the helm from him. On the return of the carpenter be found no one at the helm, and asked the hoy what had become of the Captain. The boy replied, " I don't know; is be not below ?" The carpenter said he was not. An instant search was made, but he was not again seen. Al hands w, re immediately called on deck, anti they at once con cluded the Captain had committed suicide. The Captain's hat, handkerchief, and sea jacket were found att, hut on further search the deep-sea lead was missing. Subse quently a note in the Captain's hand-writing was found behind the looking-glass. It was to the following effect : Mr. BA LLANTINE saw no reason for suspecting that the Captain had met with hie death unfairly. There could he no doubt he had committed suicide, and that from tl , e time the ship left Bahia he was in a state of insanity. The British Consul had already investigated the circumstance, and if he had seen any grounds of suspicion he would have given notice to the authorities here. The mate said the boy was missing during the Captain's lifetime, and while the ship was at Gibraltar. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. we w e w re ere t o p o rep n a o r t e o d r i with n am t p h l e e m p s e r i o v o e f . , t o o r r u e n ti l l e i i s r s e the fact Un fa les e formal demonstration, it would scarcely be possible to be lieve that, at this time of day, and amid a people so thirsting for all kinds of reform, the rank and shameless abuses which were last night exposed, in the petition of the newsvenders against the Post-office, should so long have been allowed to exist. We described a few days ago the disgraceful attitude which this expensive national insitution lately presented to foreigners,—we pointed nut its stationary, or (shall we call them ?) its Conservative prejudices,—its resistance to all attempts at improvement, —its total immobility in the midst of a moving world, — its laziness, and its cupidity. We showed that the direc tors of the French posts, who bad felt the inconveniences of being in communication with such an inert and avari cious establishment, had come amongst us with suggestions of unequivocal amendment, which had been rejected, merely because the proposed change would have imposed some moments of additional exertion, or curtailed the emoluments of some unauthorised privilege. The activity and vivacity of our neigh. bours,—their numerous well considered and that characteristic seal which had induced them to pass the Straits of Dover at their own expense and peril, as Post-office plenipotentiaries, could not rouse our sub-directors from their slumber, or shame them out of their monopoly. The French functionaries went away, we have no doubt, in disgust, resolved that if any future treaty shall he thought necessary or advisable to improve the Post•office intercourse between the two countries, the proposition must begin on the part of England, and the mission be sent to Paris. For the failure of this well intended negotiation, we lay no blame on the Noble Duke at the bead of the establishment, who cannot, we are persuaded, fathom all the mysteries of its management, or control all the conduct of its sub altern agents. But the laziness and selfineas of these agents, in resisting the proposed amendments, or in retaining the denounced abuses of their system in rela tion to our foreign intercourse, are far less deserving of censure than the malversation exposed in the petition of the newsvenders last night. We there see person., whose whole time is sold to the public, permitted to neglect their public duties to attend to their own private affairs. We there see the officers of a national establish ment entering into competition in trade with those whose interests they are appointed to protect, and whose orders they are commanded to execute. We there see the clerks of the Post-office, not only contending for business with the newsvenders, but ready to prevent their official influence to get the better of their rivals. We there see the combination of a great public institution—with every facility of communication—commanding every road where there is a mail coach, and spreading into every hamlet, village, town, or city of the kingdom —ranged against an individual newsvender, who finds his customers seduced by their magnificent promises, or his trade crushed by their overwhelming hostility. The official duties of a clerk of the roads or of a clerk of the General Post-office,or of a post-master, would appear to us to be totally incornp iti - 'tie with the trade of a newsvender. His business is to forward newspapers, not to traffic in them ; and it would seem nearly as consistent that an exciseman should he himself a distiller, or that an officer of the customs should be allowed to keep a shop for the disposal of French silks, as that a clerk of the Post-office should he a dealer in journals. This might he inferred from the nature of the duties required of persons connected with the Post office and the trade of a newsman; but the petition of the newsvenders of London, and that of Mr. Johnston, of Dublin, allege specific grievances which deserve public notice. Mr. Johnston last year addressed to the House of Commons a well-drawn up memo rial on this subject, the facts of which he is unfortunately obliged to embody in his present petition, as he has hitherto obtained no redress for his wrongs, or rather has since experienced additional impediments in his business. He shows that the clerks of the roads in Ireland evade all postage, either in ordering newspapers, or renewing the term of those already ordered,—that this evasion of pos tage is not confined to their correspondence with post m afters, but with every person receiving a newspaper through their hands, and that such secret or post-free communications is used by them to forward their interests in recommending particular journals which they desire to favour. This sacrifice of revenue to their private pur poses turns, of course, most injuriously against their com petitors in the traffic of newspapers. But, besides this, Mr. Johnston shows that ;t even sometimes gives theta an interest in delaying the mails; that in a such a case, their particular facilities may be made available in the delivery of newspapers to their customers before those of the regular newsmen. Even, therefore, though the conduct of these " clerks of the roads" had not been marked by hostility to Mr. Johnston in particular, the grievances which he alleges deserve a severe scrutiny and speedy redress, on public grounds. The petition of the general body of newsvenders in the metropolis contains similar complaints against the monopoly of the clerks of the roads, and the General Post-office clerks in England. One advantage which such public officers have over the private trader is obvious, namely,—that they can put newspapers into the mail-bags, addressed to their agents or customers, to the very moment of their delivery to the mail, while the newsvender is charged one halfpenny on every newspaper posted after 6 o'clock, and finds a total exclusion of his parcel at half-past 7. The regulations of the Post-office wi h respect to the transmission of English papers abroad, or the receipt of foreign journals in this country, im pose a g sievous restraint on the regular dealer, and entail an expense on the public for the profit of the t fficiel interloper. These facts and allegations demand an immediate inquiry and redress. It is shameful to see an establishment in tended solely for the public benefit perverted to the private advantage of its officers. If the salaries of the Post-office clerks be too small, let them be raised ; hut let the public have all the advantage of their services without incurring any inconvenience by their indolence, or suffering any loss by their rapacity. " If," said Mr. Palmer, who was opposed by the subalterns of the day, in his memorial to Mr. Pitt on the reform of the Post. office, in 1783 (50 years ago), " upon inquiry the salaries of the officers are too small for the trust reposed in them, or the duty required of them, Government ought to ad vance them ; but ought no more to keep a negligent or corrupt servant in the department of the Poet-office than in that of the Excise." To this sentiment we heartily subscribe, and, therefore, must insist on cutting off trout mem all sources of income which place them in op. position to their duties or to the public interests. From a statement before us, we find that the clerks of the Gee neral Post-office in London, derive '7,4961. a year from the sources of monopoly to which we have alluded—that is, from above of their office. Is the Duke of Richmond aware of this fact, or will the public tolerate the continu ance of such au illegal or unwarrantable traffic ? We are sorry to see that Lord Althorp, from the multiplicity, doubtless, of his other avocations, has been unab e to bestow that attention on the question of the Post-office, or to acquire that information respecting its abuses and its resistance to improvement, which we could have wished from a Minister of the Crown. In speaking, for instance, on the difficulty of arrangement with respect to the optional franking of letters addressed to parties in France, his Lord ship is reported to have said that the attempt would lead to " inextricable confusion." Does his Lordship not know that the experiment has been already triad on a great scale in France and over the continent —that it has perfectly succeeded for a long time—and that it has been the source oh great public convenience ? Does he not know that the French post-office has the same tree y with Prussia, with Belgium, and with every b .rdsring c , nti • gent., I State, which the directors of the French post- office lately proposed with England ? Does he not know that they proposed to undertake the teaching of our unapt Ad ininoor aion, and they would probably have sent over a clerk to instruct them in the details ? Whether he knows these i r nnoatn, ci h o e t o i e u p e a h , t t nfi t o t. n h t a , v o e u k g n h r t i w r t i o t h haveel' , a r t i is head o n f gs th o fleeted upon preseseitione which must oenefieially it ice affected the revenue of 'he St tie, as well as have pros rooted the convenience of the pubic. Tto matter, how. ever, cannot rest here. We must again and again knock at the gates of this " castle of indolence" and corruptios, till we rouse its inmates to a feeling of their duties, and a sense of their dangers.-- Times.
