T HE TEA MARKET, No. 8, LUDGATE HILL, LONDON. SIDNEY and HALL, Proprietors. The New Year opens with more cheering prospects for the - Tea Consumer, than for many previous seasons. War, rapine, and injus tice have given place to peace and friendship. The glories of the Celestial Empire are no longer veiled in mystery to the Western Hemisphere. An extended field is opened to the energies of the British merchant—we trust for successful enterprise. Ages yet to fellow will admire the firmness which has successfhlly overcome the rooted preju dices of thousands of years ; and the ingenious millions who populate the vast territories of China, will hail the event that opens to their industry the commercial freedom of the civilised world. One of the many advantages of peace over war to the community is best shown by reference to the comparative value of Tea in 1840 and 1844: Value of common Congou (exclusive of duty) in • February 1840 Value of common Congou (exclusive of duty) in February 1844 . . Making a difference of two hundred per cent., or thrice the value of Tea, in the time of war over the present rates. We recommend fa milies to pay for a Common Breakfast Tea, 3s. 4d. per lb. ; for a strong full-bodied Congou, 3s. Bd. or 4s. per lb. ; for the finest Congott imported, ss. per lb. ; and for the most delicious Souchong, ss. 6d. per lb. The two latter Teas are of very rare quality.

Frimley, near Bagshot, Surrey, A pril 23, 1843. Sir,—l enclose three cases in which the parties therein named have received great benefit from using Blair's Pills, and the truth of which lam at any time ready to make affidavit of it required. You are at perfect liberty to publish them if you think proper. Hoping this may induce the incredulous to make a trial of the Pins, which will speedily convince them of their value, 1 am, Sir. yours truly, ./OHN G_ILES. Pirbrlght, April 23, 1443. Dear Sir -Upon your recommendation I sent for a box of Blair's Rheumatic Pills, and to my astonishment a few doses entirely re moved the tormenting pains my wife had suffered so long; but hay. ing caught a severe cold the rheumatism again returned, when hay 'ng recourse to a few more Pills, it again fled, and has not /time returned The public are not generally aware of the efficacy of this truly valuable medicine, or few would suffbr from rheumatism. In conseqnence of witnessing the effects of the above medicine in my own family, I recommended Edward Bridger, now sixty-seven years of age, a labourer and jobbing gardener, to apply to you, he being much afflicted with rheumatism for twenty years; he could scarcely get any sleep, being always worse when in bed, and nnable to walk without the assistance of a stick. You gave him some Pills. I saw him yesterday ; he told me he could now get rest, which he had been unable to do for a very long time; he is still lame from the length of time he has been afflicted, but can now walk without much inconvenience ten or twelve miles in the day, and can, as he says, do any light work ; he has applied to rue for aiob at hoeing. It is dis. tressing to see a fellow-creature suffering such excruciating pain, when relief can be obtained by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. I shall, for the benefit of tho e who may suffer, continue to recommend them,—l am, dear Sir, yours truly To John J. Giles, Esq., GEORGE INN WOOD. nroley, Surrey. Blackwater, near Bagshot, Feb. 25, 184.3. Dear Giles, —Th e effect of Blair's Pills has been everything could wish for. 1 had symptoms of the Gout during Wednesday night; I took two Pills during the night, and two in the morning, which quite removed the pain ; and I was enabled to give a lecture at Hartly row on Thursday evening, although I was in fear that morning I ulinot have been enabled to leave home.

Patronised by her-Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. This valuable SUCCEDANEUM for :TOPPING DECAYED TEETH, however large the cavity, is far superior to anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extrac tion unnecessary. It arrests all farther progress of decay, and ren ders theni again useful in mastication. Prepared only by Mr Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 6S, B erner s-street, Oxford-street. Price* 4 9. 6d. ; and will b e sen t fr ee by post to any part, of the kingdom. Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without springs or wires; and has introduced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will b e found very super i o r to all others, as they will never decay, nor becom e di sco loured, and their perfect resemblance to nature defies detection even by the closest ob server. This method does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much lower than most Dentists. FEBRUAIiY 15 1844.

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3!. • 175. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 401 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 55, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4334 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9* ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10, it follows that gold is 9.34 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange_ at New York on London is 109 per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 0.57 per cent. against England ; but the quoted ex change at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference.

The following address from Mr. O'Connell appears in the Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon : " TO TILE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. " Merrion-square, Feb. 13, 1844. " Fellow-countrymen, —In addressing the Association yes terday, I stated that it was my intention not to attend the discussion upon Lord John Russell's motion. Since that time I have formed a better opinion of the views with which that motion is brought forward. Besides, it now seems to me quite clear that there may occur in the course of the debate some topics which it would be desirable that I should be present-to elucidate. "Again, it has occurred to in that it is my duty to attend once more in my. place in the House of Commons, and to protest, in, the name of the Catholic people of Ireland, against the attempt made—and in this instance, I think, successfully made—by the Attorney-General, to repeal the most beneficial part of the Emancipation Act—namely, that which professed to secure for us fair and impartial trial by jury. " Indeed, the exclusion of Catholics from the jury list, and the omission (which it is impossible to believe could be ac cidental) of one-tenth of the names in the jury panel, involve considerations of so important a nature as to render it, in my opinion, my imperative duty firmly to protest, in the presence of the British Parliament, against proceedings of so unjustifiable a nature. " Upon the whole, therefore, I have determined to sail for England +his evening, •It is not that lam no foolish. az. La - .teurrns, frt an the 'Tory n :ity ,n the British House of Commons, as at present constituted ; but that is no reason why I should not bring another instance of English injus tice towards Ireland before the British people and the civilised world. "My stay in England will be but short. I leave the people of Ireland in determined peace and tranquillity; and I have the fullest confidence that they will persevere in that tranquillity until my return, which will be in a few days. In the meantime, I earnestly recommend the conti nuance of all legal measures for forwarding the sacred cause of the repeal. " I hope the Irish Members will muster 'strong on the present debate. " I am, your ever faithful and devoted servant, "DANIEL O'CONNELL." THE NAVY. . FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) There are 188 Admirals in the Royal Navy, of which number about •18 are Irish ; the rest are Scotch and English. At this period 14 Admirals are employed and one Commodore, all Scotch and English. • Not one of the above 18 Irish Admirals are em ployed. Rear-Admiral Bowles, a Tory, commands the naval force on the coast of Ireland.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.-By the arrival of the ship Superb, Captain Gatchell, from Mobile, we find by his report that the royal mail steam-ship Avon was seen between Cape Antonia and the Horona, under sail only. Her report runs thus : " On the 9th of January, lat. 23 deg., 40 min. ; long. 84 deg. 30 min., saw a large steamer under canvass only, appa rently steering for Havannah ; was painted black, and had white quarter boats, and white life boats inverted over the paddle boxes." Capt. Gatchell has not said that it was the Avon, but from ke date, her position, and appearance, there is no doubt but rat it was her. Sbe is now over due. ARRIVAL OF THE PENINSULAR MAILS.--SOUTII vroN, FEB. 14.—The Oriental Company's steam-packet the Montrose, Captain Lewis, arrived in the docks this morn ing at half-past eight, from Gibraltar, and landed her mails in time to go up by the nine o'clock mail-train. She left Gibraltar on the 4th instant, Cadiz the sth, Lisbon the ith, Oporto the Bth, and Vigo the 9th. She brings a full cargo of fruit and passengers. The Montrose experienced very thick weather during the latter part of the voyage. The Oriental steamer, Captain Soy, has arrived from Alexandria, and now lies at the Mother Bank. She is expected to be released from quarantine to-morrow, and will land her pas sengers here, sixteen in number. The Pacha, Capt. Wilson, will take out the Peninsular, Gibraltar, and Malta mails, to morrow, at 3 P.M. Very great uneasiness is manifested here at the non-arrival of the Royal West India mail-packet, the Avon, which was due at this port on the 4th instant. It is supposed that being short of fuel she has been obliged to put into some distant port for recoaling. The well-known lec turer, Mr. George Thompson, who contested the last election of this borough with Lord Nugent as his colleague, is a pas senger by the Oriental, and is expected to make a stay in this town for a few days. THE NEW SILVER COINAGE. —The workmen at the Royal Mint are daily at work in striking off the new silver coinage, a considerable amount of which has been sent to the Bank of England within the last few days. The panic respecting the light gold currency having subsided, the Governor and Company of the Bank of England will shortly give notice that they will issue the new silver coinage at the Bullion-office in exchange for the old coinage of George 111., George IV., and Willian IV., which are so de faced from wear and tear and deficient in weight. The public will not in any way be losers by the calling in of the old silver, arrangements having been made between the Government and the Bank to that effect. A very large quantity of the new coinage has been sent' off by railway since Monday to the different branch banks in the manu facturing and agricultural districts of England, Wales, and Scotland. As the Bank receives it, the clerks will have it so defaced as not to be re-issued, and it will be remelted at the Mint. The quantity of bullion at present in the Bank is nearly 16,000,000 sterling —a larger amount than for many years. GAENVAL—One day last week a fine large salmon was caught in the trap at Garway Mill, in the river Mon now.

We are thankful to Mr. Moxon, who has been justly called the " poet's publisher," for this neat and cheap edition of the plays of the correctest and loftiest of liv ing dramatists. Hitherto they have been published in so expensive a form as to place them without the reach of the poorer and humbler class of readers, but now— despite the income-tax—they will be accessible to all; and greatly, indeed, shall we be mistaken if they be not received with as much favour by the intelligent, self-educated . operative, as they have already been by the scholar, the, critic, and the "Sir Oracles" of taste about town. We . are the more confident on this point, because the writings of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, though exquisitely. polished end refined, yet breathe the truest spirit humanity ; so far from being exclusiie. or. conventional in their , jone g they are vatholie in the most comprehensive sense of the term ; eschew all cloudy, metaphysical abstrac tions ; and make their appeal direct to those sterling sympathies which are more or less on the al er t i n every mans bosom. What reader, for instance, even though moving in the humblest walks of life, and picking up his scanty meal of knowledge as best he may, cannot appre- Ciate the _heroic self-denial of lon ; and feel his heart glow with admiration of the patriotic sentiments that are constantly dropping, like the fairy pearls in the fable, from the lips of the Athenian Thoas ? It is not requi site that a man should be a scholar, or familiar with the dramatists of Greece, to appreciate the full for& and beauty of these characters ; nothing more is necessary than that he should possess a sound head, and a heart not yet quite frozen by the chilling influences of what is called the " world." 'When some months since, a " Peo ple's Edition," a : it i s termed, of theWaverleyNovels was projected, it was observed by an intelligent critic that it would scarcely answer, inasmuch as the chivalrous and aristocratic bent of Sir W. Scott's genius must necessarily be uninteresting, if not unintelligible, to the humbler' class of readers. The result has proved the fallacy of this opinion, for the edition in question has been emi nently successful; and so, we venture to predict, will be the cheap little duodecimo before us, and for precisely the same reasons—namely, that notwithstanding the splendour of his imagery, the classic beauty of his descrip tions, and the high-toned, aristocratic—we do not mean o imply by this term a mere question of rank—character of his heros, the author has everwhere taken nature for his ground-work. Hence he is a favourite even in rude, republican, repudiating Yankee-land—the beloved of Sidney Smith—which could never have been the case, had he not throughout his works apealed forcibly to " that human-heart by which we live," choosing rather to obey the fervid prompting's of sensibility, which rarely lead an author asti ay, than the cold, unsatisfactory (sug gestions of the mere understanding. This it is that makes al the difference between the true and the false in the productions of mind, and explains the reason why, with all their polished dignity of style, their stately concep tions, and the prestige attached to their authors' names, such dramas as Cate, the Revenge, and Irene—those frigid imitations of humanity—mere offsprings of the head, unaided by the heart—have never yet taken the sl=gli:est hold on the public mind, or roused one genuine emotion either in the closet or on the stage. We look upon this cheap " People's Edition" of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's plays. as one of the most encouraging signs of the times that could have been exhibited—as a con vincing proof, in fact, that a taste for elegant, imaginative literature is fast spreading in quarters where, twenty years since, all was ignorance, prejudice, and brutality ; and were we in want of an argument for the further ex tension of the franchise, we know not that we could find a more cogent one than is furnished us by the publica tien o: this half-a-crown volume. ,ant Mr. Moxon's task is as yet but half completed. He must give us cheap editions of the Learned Sergeant's prose as well as of his poetry, for some of the soundest criticisms and most thoughtful moral essays of which modern litera ture can boast, may be found in his numerous contri butions to the Edinburgh Review and the New Monthly Magazine. Of one essay in particular, the Wine cellar," we entertain a very vivid recollection. It is many years since it was published ' • but the airiness— the grace—the sunny character of its fancy—and the spirit of unaffected cordiality that breathes through h— are among those things which leave a lasting impres sion on the mind. Not less excellent, though in a dif ferent style is that essay on the " Profession of the Bar," which first appeared, if we mistake not, in the New Monthly Magazine, and which is fully entitled to the honour of republication, if only for its nicely discrimi nated sketches of Brougham, Scarlett, and the late Lord Erskine. But to return to the volume before us. In addition to the tragedies, which it would be super fluous here to criticise, it contains an eloquent and afrectlonate notieb - iirsthe late DoeforiTaTpy, every word of which is founded in truth, as we ourselves can per sonally testify. The Doctor was, indeed, one of the wisest and kindliest of men. As the head of a great public school, never was man more beloved than he was by his pupils, not only for the kindness he manifested to them when under his superintendence, but for the warm interest which through life ha continued to take in their welfare. Of all his pupils there were none of whom he was so proud, or spoke so often in terms of admiration, as the late Baron Bolland and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd. Besides this eloquent tribute to the memory of one of the best of scholars and of men, we have several sonnets, which, it seems, are now for the first time published, and which are characterised by all that Attic polish of diction and nobility of sentiment which form such conspicuous features in the tragedies. Here is one entitled " The Forb9 at Reading, revisited on a Missy Evening in Autumn : " Soft uplands, that in boyhood's earliest days "Seem'd mountain-like and distant, fain once more Would I behold you I but the autumn hoar Yet must I outlinew aittill on my lives—mored eadear searching thathan g f ;_ e ze wore Ilath veil'd your pensive g roves i n even i ng h aze ; An April sunset's consecrating rays— For, even thus the images of yore Which ye awaken glide from misty years Dream-like and solemn, and but half unfold Their tale of glorious hopes, religious fears, And visionary schemes of giant mould ; Whose dimmest trace the world-worn heart reveres, And, with love's grasping weakness, strives to hold." The epithet' "consecrating," which we have marked in italics, strikes us as being eminently beautiful, con veying, as it does, just such a solemn and poetical idea of sunset as the hour would naturally suggest to a thoughtful, high-toned mind. But indeed the whole sonnet is " one entire and perfect chrysolite," and for us has. an ineffable charm, for it brings vividly before us the recollection of the noble play-ground, with the " soft up'ands " of Caversham in the distance, and the inter mediate ranges of ttis King's Meadows, from which duly on summer and autumn evenings a light silvery vapour would arise, clothing all things in its fleecy mantle—a trivial circumstance, which the author, how- ever, has contrived to turn to the most poetical account. We close our brief notice with .the sonnet on " Eton College, surveyed after leaving a Son at School there for the first time," in which our readers will not fail to admire the earnest and solemn tenderness that charac terizes the closing lines : " How often have I fix'd a stranger's gaze On yon fant'd turrets, clad in light as fair As this sweet evening lends, and felt the air Of Learning that from calm of ancient days Breathes round them ever ! Now to me they wear Hues drawn from dearer thought ; the radiant haze That mantles them grows thick with fondest care, And its slant sunbeams flicker like the praise Youth wins from wisdom ;—for in yon retreats One little student's heart expectant beats Witli blood of mine ;—O God I vouchsafe him power, When I am dust, to stand on this sweet place, And, through the vista of long years, embrace 1V ith cloudless soul this first Etonian hour." ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CoNxELL—Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., accompanied by his son, Morgan O'Connell, Sir Coleman O'Loughlin, and some other gentlemen, ar rived on Wednesday at Liverpool, by the second mail steamer from Dublin. A large concourse of people sur rounded the hotel throughout the day, and about five o'clock so numerous was the assemblage, that Mr. O'Connell was compelled to appear and address the multitude in a short speech. He stated that he had previously no intention of offering any remarks in public on the occasion of his present visit to Liverpool, nor had he at one time thought of visiting London, at least for some time ; but he had since changed his mind, though he should not take any part in the discussion on Lord John Russell's motion. He did, however, intend to enter his solemn protest against the fresh acts of injus tice to Ireland contained in the late State trials. He had served his country for forty-eight years, during the entire of which lie had been Ole invariable advocate of peace ; and whatever checks might be opposed to his future career, he would still continue legally and strenuously to agitate for the Repeal of the Union. He declared himself decidedly in favour of Universal Suffrage ; and, in conclusion, after say ing that lie hoped they would, as their friends in Ireland had hitherto done, preserve the peace, he proposed three cheers for the Queen, which were heartily given. He shortly after lett Liverpool, reached Birmingham last night, and has arrived in London this day. The Irish Attorney- General intended to have sailed for London on Tuesday evening, to attend the debate on Lord John Russell's motion, but a sudde* attack of illness has compelled the Right Hon. Gentleman to delay his departure. FRIGHTFUL AcciDENT.—Yesterday, shortly before twelve o'clock, an accident, which was nearly attended with a lamentable loss of life, occurred in Upper Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square. For some time past a number of men have been employed in that street in making a sewer, and yesterday, whilst they were " shutting" the earth at each side of the trench, a part of the ground was noticed to crumble, cqused no doubt by the sudden breaking up of the frost. An alarm was immediately raised, and several of the men succeeded in effecting their escape. Five of the exca vators were not so fortunate, for one immense piece of ground, weighing some tons, fell into the trench, and completely im- j bedded them ; three were buried up to their chins. With j assistance two of the men were quickly extricated, and with out receiving any hurt. The other three, Thomas Tread away, George Gibbs, and William Cooper were not got out until near half-past two o'clock, when they were instantly removed in a very exhausted state to St. George's Hospital, where they were attended to by Mr. Barrett, the house sur geon, and Mr. Hawkins, assistant surgeon, and at eight o'clock last night, it was the opinion of those gentlemen that nothing fatal need be apprehended, for provldcatally uo bones were broken. . .

Feb. 14, 1844. KNACKERS' YARDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—In common, lam sure, with many of your readers, I was much pleased to see it stated in your paper that a petition, complaining of the inadequacy of the present law with regard to knackers' yards, had been presented from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ; by whom, the same paragraph informed the public, a Bill for amend ing the existing Acts had been prepared, and would be introduced early in the present session of Parlianient. To those of your readers who recollect the account of the horrors of the knackers' yards, which appeared in many of the public journals a short time since, and which painfully attracted public attention, the necessity which exists for having such places put under stringent regulations must be very apparent. By all who value the horse, and who would save him from unnecessary suffering in any part of his career, the attempt to alleviate the misery he has hitherto been made to endure, in his last and worst stage, will be satisfactory ; and I trust sincerely that the Bill in question, when it comes before Parliament, will meet with that support which every measure of humanity deserves.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient Servant, G. M. HARDENED CRIMINALS. The Court of Assizes of the Nord was, on the 6th inst., occupied with the trial of three as hardened ruffians as ever stood at the bar of a Court of Justice. They were—a man named Colin, already under condemnation to hard labour for life, for an attempt at murder ; Druon, under sentence to the same punishment for ten years ; and Friedlander, twice con demned to the hulks for life, for attempt at murder. They were charged with having, on Nov. 26, attempted to set fire to the Central Prison at Loos, by which one prisoner, named Delvigne, was sacrificed, and three others much in jured. The three prisoners avowed their crime, declaring that they did it to get removed from the prison, were-it even to the scaffold. The Director of the establishment, in giving evi dence, declared that, from circumstances, he was induced to think Friedlander less guilty than the others : on which Co lin rose, and told the Court that the reason the Directorspoke thus was, that finding their plan was not likely to succeed this time, they wished to secure some future means of re venge for the hardships they had been made to endure in the Central prison. They therefore considered that Fried lander, having always conducted himself well during his con finement, had the best chance of being acquitted in this af fair, and would at a future opportunity repeat the offence with better chance of success. Friedlander acknowledged this to be their plan. In the course of the trial M. Guilmot, the sur geon of the prison, was called on by Friedlander to testify to the truth of some fact, but which that gentleman denied. A short time after, just as the President was about to commence his summing up, a cry was heard to proceed from the witness's bench, and M. Guilmot was seen to fall to the ground, bleed ing copiously from a blow on the head from Friedlandees heavy wooden shoe, which the latter had thrown at him. While M. Guilmot was being removed from the Court, the prisoners conducted themselves most violently, struggling with the gensdarmes, and crying out that "it was death they wished for, death rather than the Central Prison." The guard was immediately increased, and the soldiers ordered to use their bayonets on the slightest riotous movement on the part of the prisoners. Each of them was held by two gens darmes, and a strong party were stationed around. The pri soners were all condemned to death. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Last night Mr. Charles Kean re-assumed the part of Hamlet, a part in which he has frequently distinguished himself at this and other theatres. The audience assembled on this occasion was numerous and respectable, and Mr. Kean was greeted throughout his per formance with many marks of approbation, though, we con fess, we did not witness his enactment of the character with unmixed gratification. He was eminently successful in the scene in which the play is introduced, and where he is sup posed to detect the criminality of his uncle. In this scene his silent as well as his enunciated acting was most effective, and highly excited the sympathies of his audience. The text of Shakspeare was somewhat curtailed in its represen tation last night; but this was judiciously effected. 'With all due admiration of the genius of our great dramatic author, we are disposed to think it possible so to improve the actual representation of his plays by a well regulated abridgMent. CONDUCT OF RUSSIA TOWARDS POLAND.—The Paris Univers states that the report of the Commission of Domains and Apanages, charged with the liquidation of the mortgages upon the confiscated estates of the Polish emi grants, has made its report to the Emperor of Russia, up to the end of last year. The Report makes the number of these estates amount to 459, of which 228 are cleared of the charges upon them. The debts acknowledged to be just amount to 1,707,100 silver roubles (about 6,830,000 f.), and those declared to be• illegal to 3,512,414 roubles (about 14,070,000 f.), which, consequently, are annulled. In these last are comprised all mortgages made by the owners of the estates during the insurrection. There still remain to be paid off mortgages acknowledged to be legitimate to the amount of 1,251,332 roubles (about 5,012,0000 so that, not only are the emigrants punished by the confiscation of their c:lates, but their mortgagee creditors are equally subjected to a confiscation of their claims. The Univers goes on to say that a numerous class of t.z..l,,Nrer order of nubility In Poland, who cultivated elTher their own lands or:rented farms, has recently been reduced to the condition of free peasants. As they had all shown a firm attachment to the Roman Catholic faith, the Government had decided upon removing them into other provinces. During the last two years 5,000 have been torn from their native soil, and colonised in the Governments of the Tauris and Yekaterinoslaf, reduced to the same condition as the vagabond gypsies, 8,000 of whom have in three years been fixed as Crown peasants on the imperial domains. Further, the Russian Government, says the Univers, is pursuing with inexorable perseverance the destruction of the Catholic church in all its western provinces. The Catholic clergy are reduced to the most absolute dependence, by being deprived of all means of subsistence beyond the meagre salaries granted by the State, and every means is now employed to prevent the renewal of this priesthood, in order, if possible, to drive the Catholics into the national church." SUSPECTED MURDER.—On Saturday last the body of a decently-dressed, middle-aged man, name unknown, was found on the road near Carronbridge, parish of Kilsyth, who, there is strong reason to suspect, has been murdered, from the fact that one of the eyes has been nearly knocked out, and there are marks of violence about the neck and throat. RAILROADS IN FRANCE.—The Journal des 7'ra vaux Publiques gives the following as the answers of the Commission appointed by the Minister of Public Works to report on the best direction to be given to the intended rail road from Paris to the coast opposite England. To the first question, whether there should be two lines, one from Boulogne, joining the Belgian road at Amiens—the other from Calais, joining the same line between Arras and Lille—the answer was in the negative. To the question —whether, in case of there being a line from Boulogne to Amiens, there should be made simultaneously a second line from Calais and Dunkirk to Lille, the opinion was in the affirmative. On the third question—whether, in case the Government should determine upon executing one line only, that from Calais and Dunkirk to Arras should be preferred, the opinion was in the affirmative. On the fourth question—whether the line between Arras, and Calais and Dunkirk, ought not to pass by Hazebrouck rather than by Aire, the Commission again replied affirmatively. Thus, if the Minister adopts this advice, the Paris and England Rail road, having the Belgian line at Arras, will run by Bethune to Hazebrouck, the principal road continuing on by St. Omer and Watten to Calais, while a branch will turn off to Dunkirk. MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—An extraordinary and very mysterious occurrence took place in the neighbourhood of Ballyduff. A woman named Sheehy, a midwife or nurse, residing in that neighbourhood, was forcibly taken from her house by a party of men who blindfolded her, and placed her on horseback behind one of the party. She was taken across the Cashion Ferry in the direction of Liselton, and into a house where she was told that in the bed-room was a female who wanted her professional assistance ; in a short time the female was confined, and she took the infant to the kitchen, where she found a well-dressed woman waiting to receive it, The woman was then taken as before and hoodwinked and left at her own door, but did not receive any remuneration from them. She said she saw some articles which she thought belonged to a lady in the kitchen ; she was not allowed a bit of light in the bed-room.—Kerry Examiner. SCOTT MONUMENT.—We are happy to learn that this subscription progresses favourably. Since the public meeting, Sir Thomas Dick Lauder has received a great many letters, enclosing remittances.

THE PERSECUTION OF THE RUSSIAN JEWS.—" Is the Emperor Nicholas," exclaims the - Courrier Francais, " a Christian Monarch. or the revival of the ancient tyrants of Nineveh or Babylon ? With him persecution is a means of government, and the transportation en masse of 30,000 families is a simple measure of administration. Ac cording to an ukase carried into execution about the 18th of January, the entire Jewish population of 150,000 souls has been transported from their residence in Lithuania to within twelve leagues of the frontier, and delivered over to the brutality of the police during the rigours of a northern winter, without distinction of age, sex, or condition. Thus willed the Salmanasar or the Nebuchadonosor of St. Peters burgh ! This atrocity is the result of the association of two despotisms, of two barbarisms—imperial despotism and the despotism of the protective system—Russian barbarity and prohibitive barbarity. The Jewish population is suspected of devoting itself to smuggling ; and instead of punishing the guilty, the Czar found it „more convenient to chastise the whole body of Israelites. It is not only against the Jews of Lithuania that this system has been enforced by Russia; the same measure is applied to all the Jews in the neighbourhood of the Emperor's dominions. The Israelites of Moldavia, over - which province Russia already reigns, have been compelled to expatriate themselves. We need not remark how much such an act savours of insanity. The Emperor Nicholas, when he displays such severity is merely a custom-house officer in a rage. Such is the result of the omnipotence of the tariff, of the prohibition under the crown, and of the protective system enforced by the A u to cra t."
