SCHOLEFIELD'S Original CONCEN TRATED 1,3 JELLY and BLANC-MANGE require neither Ilayoaring nor sweetening, producing immediately, by the addition of boiling water to the former, and boiling milk or cream to the latter, a quart of most delicious Jelly and Blanc-Mange, equal in Savour, colour, and bril liancy to these prepared by the moat complicated method. Cold in pots at Is. 3d. each ; wholesale, at the manufactory, 7, Trafalgar-place, Kentish-town ; Crosse and Blackwell, Selio-square ; Barclay and Sons, Farriagdon•street. Retail by all respectable druggists, grocers, Sec. not surprised that he held it so long and se carefully in reserve. • Mr. 3lazzini told him that he (Mazzini) had heard from certain Post-office clerks that they had opened Mr. Duncombe's letters in 1842. Mr. Duncombe having been, when he heard the fact, full two years quite in sensible to the painful pressure of that public . disgrace, which he has found so intolerable ever since—informed of the open ing of his letters. To make the matter, however, if possible, more absurd, Mr. Duncombe moved, to call Colonel Ma berly to the bar, to explain what he (Mr. Duncombe) ought in the first place to prove by the evidence of the clerks. And then the whole was to be made the foundadon of a legal proceeding ! Of what legal pro ceeding—a prosecution or a civil action 2 Of a pro secution, then, the law would not allow parties to be examined to criminate themselves. Of a civil action ? We should like to see the instructions to the pleader who would have to draw the declara tion. " Certain letters unknown, upon certain days unknown, written to or by Mr. Thomas Duncombe, by or to certain persons unknown, were, at some time uncertain, in the year 1842, opened by A., B.,and C. clerks in her Majesty's Post-office, to the special amage of Mr. Duncombe. Please draw a declaration in this case, and as sign the special damages very precisely." We think that this were a task to puzzle a pleader. But, if no criminal or civil proceedings at law could possibly be founded upon Mr. Duncombe's motion, if successful, what was the use of it ? Mr. (Des pard's plot) Disraeli shall tell ; for, that everything might be harmonious and complete, Mr. Duncombe's motion was se conded by the author of " Coningsby." Mr. Disraeli ad mits that such motions as he seconded are inconveniences, and evils ; incident to free government ; as the burning of cities and other like things are inconveniences and evils flowing from the same cause. Had he not been modest he might have added that the writing of libellous and immoral books and the libelling of honest and upright men by pri vilege of Parliament, are also inconveniences and evils arising from a free constitution. So far Mr. D'lsraeli's propositions are indisputable; but his inference is open to exception. Our free Constitution may disable us from guarding against stupid and mischievous debates, fire raising, and slander ; but surely it does not justify any of these very inconvenient and mischievous practices. The poor fellows who were h ange d a t Bristol, by their brother reformers, were not al lowed the benefit of Mr. D'lsraeli's plea, and we do not see why any others ought to be allowed to avail themselves of it, when it was refused to those proto-martyrs of reform. We did hope to hear no more of Mr. D'lsraeli ; however, we scarcely regret that he obtruded himself last night, as his doing so gave opportunity to Sir Robert Peel to deliver a splendid speech, in a style from which his constitutional mildness and good humour generally restrain him. Mr. Duncombe's absurd motion was of course rejected.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Feb.2B. NOUAILLE V. FLIGHT. This suit was instituted for the specific performance of the purchase of certain premises situate in the Belvidere-read, in the borough of Southwark. The cause formerly came before, the Court upon exceptions to the Master's report, when it was decided that the plaintiff could not make a marketable title to the premises, in consequence of the original lessee not having built the number of houses which he stipulated by his covenant to erect. The cause now came on upon further directions, and after some discussion, Lord LANGDALE directed that the deposit should be re turned with interest at 41. per cent., and dismissed the bill with costs.

Mr. Bunn's benefit, on Monday next, which already held out every variety of attraction, presents, in addition, the debrit of Mr. Simon, an extraordinary violinist, from Vienna. We are happy to hear there is every prospect of a complete overflow. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The performances at this theatre, last evening, were ho noured by the presence of her Majesty, who seemed highly to enjoy Peake's new comedy of The Sheriff oj the County. We rejoice to find that her Majesty has of late frequently ho noured this theatre by her presence. Her Majesty not only loves, but understands the drama, and it is because she under stands and appreciates it, and is enabled to discriminate be tween good and bad acting, that it is a great thing for any theatre to be honoured by her patronage. Were that pa tronage indiscriminately bestowed, its value would be greatly lessened, but while that patronage is bestowed liberally it is bestowed also most judiciously, while the dramatic mediocri ties are very properly left to find their level. Excellence in every walk of the dramatic art is certain of Royal patronage, and where has that patronage been more judiciously or more worthily bestowed than on the talented Lessee of "The Little Theatre" in the Haymarket?

The cliff, at this spot, attains an elevation of about 250 feet, and is composed principally of unstratified white and yellow sand resting upon clay. Hundreds of persons have been attracted to the spot to witness its huge intermingled masses rent into lofty pinnacles and deep ravines by the overwhelming pressure of the subterraneous waters collected in the caverns of the cliff, and presenting the idea of an earthquake, but without its concomitant horrors.—Norwich Mercury. _- Itl)trbf Vbitton rHE FUNDS-(CLOSING PRICES ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISII FUNDS.

Peel grows wanton, or careless, and seems inclined to trifle alike withjhis supporters and the country. One or two triumphant divisions happening to combine with a little personal altercation in public, have ap parently weakened his discretion ; and he is tempted to abuse his " little brief authority" with those "fantastic tricks" which " make even angels weep." Members of Parliament do not weep,—but then they are not angels. Mr. Hogg, looking at the new differential duty on East India sugar, as a dry matter of business, and having faith in the Premier, sees nothing fantastic in the attempt to declare a difference by Act of Par liament where there is no distinction in fact. He, therefore, gravely remonstrates, makes a motion and a long speech ; and Mr. Hume seconds the motion in a short one. We do not counsel weeping in such cases ; we think laughing would here have been somewhat more to the purpose. The utter impos sibility of carrying into practice a distinction between sugars " equal to white clayed," and " not equal to white clayed," is evidently not unknown to these gentlemen, and might, we should have supposed, have been deemed a sufficient guarantee that the attempt would either never be made, or be very quickly abandoned. Mr. Hogg's proposal to add the words, "in quality," and so make subject to the higher duty only sugars " equal in quality to white clayed," does not get rid of, and scarcely diminishes, the difficulty. The other pro posal, to adopt as a test the amount of saccharine matter contained in the sugar to be charged, has the ap pearance of being more definite; but the adoption of any such standard is clearly at variance not only with the propo sition of the Government (so far as that can be made suffi ciently definite to admit of comparison), but also with every other proposition yet submitted, and also with every distinc i • lion, in respect to quality, hitherto made in fixing the duties. It can scarcely be necessary to say that it is not in the quantity of saccharine matter it contains, that the superiority of refined over raw sugar consists. Th e c hi e f points of its superiority are, obviously, a higher d egree o f crystallisation, and a comparative freedom from colo ur i ng matter. But the former increases the quantity of the water of crystallisation in a given weight of sugar, and so tends to diminish the proportion of saccharine matter. Now, both the degree of crystallisation and the colour may, and do, vary infinitely; and if we may place any dependence upon the assurance of those who possess the best practical information on the subject, it is not possible to draw a line at any particular point of refinement suf ficiently definite to be made the basis of any fiscal re gulation whatever. No two sugar dealers in England are, we believe, at this moment agreed as to what precisely is, and what is not, white clayed sugar. The Govern ment pretends ignorance of this. Mr. Goulburn knew it last year, and made good use of it in the debate upon the last alteration of the sugar duties. Yet, this year, Sir Robert Peel has not yet arrived at a know ledge of it. But then he declares he was not at liberty to make inquiries. Had he done so, people might have formed some notion of what he was about. The present measure re quired careful and secret preparation. Admitting this to be true is, at least, highly characteristic. Like a conjuror behind his curtain, preparing his next trick, Sir Robert is con tent to " dress up his statement" in the dark—to give altogether to his audience the benefit of what ever light there may be, in order to preserve the more com pletely the mystery of the coming displ a y. H e i s w illi ng to be ignorant of what everybody else knows, provided he can only keep the th emfrem guessing at what he is going to do. However, display has now been made, and the effect found decidedly defective. The audience have enligh tened our worthy conjuror, and he will retire to con sider, and, if he can do no better, withdraw his "trick." A definition of what is meant by " white clayed sugar" is loudly called for. Sir Robert will try to make one, and —if he finds he cannot—why, he'll give it up :—" To the consideration of this point the Government would apply themselves; they had had communication with the Custom-house, but it was, of course, difficult at present to speak to details ; and, under the circumstances, he should say the best course would be to allow somrestablished rule as to what ; and, unless the Go fiend Should b e a t lib erty to ma k e sl t ,h h e or e nu lmd r e e na be atcouldtitollne h is to uatida oloinptpy of the s ugar , it s h ou ld b e un derstood. taFss a motion similar to that he had now proposed to the House. In the interim the Government would consider the question." Of course, what does not exist it is idle to seek for ; but if the new duty he at once abandoned, we shall escape the dis putes which must have arisen from having upon the statute book, even for a short time, a distinction which could not have been enforced in practice. STANDARD.—Mr. Duncombe last night brought for ward his motion, and what is more, brought forward his proofs. Mr. Duncombe 's notions of a proof are extremely amusing, but not quite original. The genius of Fielding has in fact anticipated, though it has not equalled, the concep tion of the gay Member for Finsbury. "C an you d eny, " says Mrs. Gobble, " that you are a vagrum and a dilatory sort of person ? Han't the man with the satchel made an affidavy of it?" "Can you deny," says Mr. Duncombe, " that you opened my letters; did not my man with the satchel, M. Mizzini, tell me last summer that some Post-office clerks told him that they had opened your letters two years be fore?" And this is Mr. Duncombe's whole case. We are , SUMMARY OF NEWS AND public Optutoit. " Who runs may read." 'O!LEXGN. On Tuesday evening the King and Queen of the French received the Prussian Minister, the Spanish Chargé d'Affaires, the Marquis de Grille, the Count d'Haussonville, and M. de Vandcul, Peers of France, the Count de l'Aigle, the Baron de Humboldt, the Vis count de Montesquieu, and Lieut.-General Gourgaud. Marshal Bugeaud is to leave Paris for Algiers on tt e sth inst. A great number of the Deputies of the South, representing the localities to be traversed by the Bordeaux and Cette railroad, had waited on the Minister of Public Works to call his attention to the propriety of presenting the Bill relating to this line as soon as pos sible. The Minister replied that all the surveys were now com pleted, and that he should urge the Council of Ponta et Chausahes to examine the matter rapidly, so that the Bill might be presented in the commencement of May. By this means, the Bill would reach the stage ofreport in one of the Chambers this year, which would enable Its being •oted at the beginning of next session. There are at present (says the Courrier Frandizis) sixteen rail. roads terminated in France, extending a length of 806 kilometres (about 500 miles), at a cost of 286,600,000 f. Seventeen others are either traced out or in course of execution, to a length of :1,947 kilometres (about 1,840 miles). The whole cost of these is calculated at 470,200,000£, of which 185,000,000 f. will be ex. pended in 1845. M. Roland, the butcher, says Galignani, who went to England for the purpose of presenting to the Queen a round of beef from Pere Goriot, the bceuf-gras, has returned to Paris delighted with the reception that he met with in England. The Queen being at Brighton, M. Roland proceeded to that place, and unpacked his voluminous present in the presence of her Majesty and Prince Al. bert. The Queen not only did M. Roland the honour to accept his homage of respect, but in the most kind and gracious terms ex pressed her thanks. The attentions shown to M. Roland by some of the most eminent butchers of London have, it appears, con. vinced him of the sincerity of the entente cordiale. A letter from Rome, of the 10th, announces the arrival in that city of the Countess of Nassau, widow of the late King of Holland. It appears from an official document which has just been pub. fished that the number of negro slaves at this time in Algeria is 1,253. They are chiefly from Bornou, Haoussa, and Timbuctoo. Since the year 1630 the importation of slaves has been gradually decreasing. COVET-FASHIONABLE. The Speaker of the House of Commons will hold his first levee for the present session, this evening, at his mansion in Eaton.squaro. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, the Dowager Marchioness of Westminster, Lady Robert Grosvenor, and the Hon. Gilbert Grosvenor, are still at Eaton Hall, Cheshire. The noble family intend to leave that seat in a few days. The Marquis of Normanby has returned to the Clarendon Hotel, from Mulgrave Castle. The Earl of Harrewby continues indisposed in Grosvenor.square; Lord and Lady Frances Sandon and the Hon. G. AL and Lady Louisa Fortescue are staying with his Lordship. Lord Wynford is seriously indisposed at his seat, Lessons, Kent. It is rumoured that Lord R. Grosvenor has been left a legacy of 209,0011/. under the will of his late father Viscount Bernard, M.P., has left town for Castle Bernard, the seat of the Earl of Bandon. The Noble Lord has paired off until after the Easter recess with the Right Hon. D. R. Pigot. Lord and Lady De Ros have arrived at their villa at Thames Ditton, from visiting Earl and Countess Delawarr, at Buckhurst Park, Sussex. Lord Francis Egerton has left Belgrave.square for his seat, Hatchford Hall, near Cobham. The Duke of Leeds has been indisposed at Hornby Castle, which prevented his Grace from coming to town early in the week. The Earl and Countess of Plymouth have arrived at their seat, Knowle Park, Kent, from a visit to Earl and Countess Delawarr, at Buckhurst Park, Sussex. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Oakeley, the Puseyite clergyman of Margaret Chapel, has contradicted the paragraph which appeared in most of the papers, stating that he had been suspended by the Bishop of London. Re port, however, states that he had been actually suspended, but soon restored at the request of Mr. Gladstone. . . Some of the Edinburgh papers state that Sir Henry Bishop has declared his intention of standing for the Music-chair, which he va cated only a few months back from ill-health. ~... At the anniversary festival of the Human. Society, on Wednes day last, the Fothergillian gold medal, of the value of 50 guineas, was presented to Mr. 'John Ericbsen, of Welbeck-street, for a treatise on the pathology and treatment of asphyxia; and also to Mr. Kay Sbuttleworth, of the Privy Council Chamber, for a work on the same subject, published some years ago. A meeting of the Covent-garden actors took place on Wednes day, on the stage of the theatre, and was adjourned to the follow ing day (Thursday), to take into consideration certain propositions of the manager, Mr. Laurent, upon the adoption of which de. pended the re-opening of the house. The meeting broke up again, however, without coming to any definite resolution upon the matter. The Great Western Railway Company from Dublin to Mul linger, Athlone, and Longford, whose project was rejected by the Board of Trade, have resolved to lodge a deposit of 45,000/. to prosecute their petition lzeNre Parliament. The Lord Ciari — cellor ' eirrrelainiiiiit'dlimlised, with - costs, the bill of Mr. Calcraft, for an injunction to prevent Mr. West, or any one but the plaintiff, as patentee of Hawkina.street Theatre Royal, performing the regular drama in Dublin. At a meeting of the Essex Agricultural Association, held at the Saracen's Head, Chelmsford, on Thursday, a petition to the House of Commons was adopted, in which the petitioners pray the Ho nourable House to revise the proposed financial measures, and to afford them the redress so much needed by so large a portion of her Majesty's subjects. It is understood that the petition will be pre sented by Sir John Tyrrell, Bart., and that the other county Mem bers will support its prayer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—A finis comes when men " speak their minds." 'I as time has arrived for consistent Tories to utter their sentiments about the conduct of the present Government in their alnmc at wholesale letters opening; they confess it was too bad, and. that the " great fact" will always stick to the character of the men now in power. Many entertain the opinion that Letters opening in Ih. Secret 'Office was not confined to those letters where Sir ,T 4 Graham's warrants were issued. Be that, however, as it may, the present Government have earned no enviable reputati9a through their Paul Pry spy practices. It is a dark blot at* upon our national character.

Thomas Norcott, a waterman Le. longing to the Lower Tunnel Pier, Wapping, with great serf. possession, though at a considerable risk, shoved his kat astern of the steamer, and by great and praiseworthy exer. tion succeeded in rescuing the whole party from impending death. He first turned his attention to the woman with hm child, whom, together with another, he placed safely in tike head of his boat; but,. whilst picking up the others, he ne ,.. rowly escaped swamping, as the water several times flowed over the gunwale. Great credit is due to Norcott for the bold manner in which, at his great personal hazard, he re - cued Aye follow-creAture§ from watery gram ,:~.= t 7,7 •. b— No. 16,393 LONDON, SATURDAIt: EVE-NING BUN, M, 1 4 , 845.
