No. CLXVL The number for the present month is graced by one of those splendid articles which have given an unfading character to this celebrated Review. It is the simple biography of a great man—obscure in regard to his birth, persecuted during his whole life, the sport of for tune, the terror of priests and hypocrites and time-serv ing patriots ; alternately the idol and the bugbear of statesmen; hated at one time by those whose interests he served best and at another extolled to the skies by blind bigots who could not understand him; but amiist all the vicissitudes of fate never swerving from his great pur pose—the reformation of his race, and the establish ment of the liberty, independence, and honour of his native land. It would be difficult to find among all the illustrious men whom this island has produced a more sincere and successful patriot than Daniel De Foe, and he has been fortunate at last, if pos thumous fame can serve any man, in having his life, history, and works delineated by one of the first orators aid most celebrated writers of the nineteenth century. There can be no mistake about the authorship of this splendid tale—we should rather say this faithful narra tive ; it bears all the characteristic features of the only man who could write such a biography, and who has here added another laurel to those which he has justly acquired in the more refined paths of literature. Almost every work which De Foe wrote is faithfully and strik ingly laid before the reader; his appearance, his manner, his dress, his independence of wind, his never-fading patriotism, his struggles in adversity, whether in prison or on the pillory, or in a hiding-place ; his incessant labours to benefit mankind ; his con ferences with William of Orange, and afterwards with Harley, in the succeeding reign ; his battles with the Dissenters, with the Catholics, and the high-flying Churchmen; the way in which he employed the tedious hours of his long imprisonment, the freaks of fortune which at one time raised him to the highest pitch of eminence, and almost unbounded wealth, and at another reduced him to a condition in which most other men v. ould have died of despair—are all described with the hand of a master, and with such truth, such a glowing unction, and, such a congeniality of feeling, that every reader will only regret that the article did not extend to twice its length, though comprising not fewer than one hundred pages. But the affairs of De Foe are not the only ones that find a place in this narrative. We have an insight into the wise and manly policy of William 111., a lively description of the motley crew of states men and place-hunters with whom he had to deal, and a vivid picture of the serenity of mind which that illus trious personage possessed—the man who would not reign, but as an independent Sovereign, who would not hold his crown by the apron-strings of his wife, and who among all, the disgraceful wrangles of Whigs and Tories, and Churchmen, and Dissenters, and infidels, and debauchks, only coolly remarked to Marshal Schomberg, " They are an inconsistent people." Then we have the history and character of Queen Anne, who was thirty-seven when she ascended the throne, and " her character was formed and known. It was a compound of weakness and bigotry, but in some sort these availed to counteract each other. Devotion to a High Church principle was needful to her fearful conscience ; but reliance on a woman favourite was needful to her feeble mind." Hence the prodigious influence of the domineering and artful Duchess of Marlborough, of Abigail Masham, and the good Mrs. Freeman, and hence also the disgraceful, _ruel, and mad persecution of the best friend of the mo• narchy, and, perhaps, also, of the Church. During the reign of William, De Foe had, in his interviews with that Monarch, frequently urged the benefits that would accrue by the union of England and Scotland ; but the cautious Monarch replied that the apple was not yet ripe. In Queen. Anne's reign, however, the scheme was again brought forward, mainly at the instance of De Foe, and he was sent down to Scotland with the Commissioners as secretary, and at the same time intrusted with con siderable influence derived from the Ministry in London. To his labours, his prudence, and surpassing abilities the consummation of this great and useful measure is chiefly to be attributed. This appointment directed his attention to various matters which he believed to be es- sential to Scottish prosperity, and grounded in him a high respect and liking for the Scottish people. He wrote a poem in eulogy of them ; busied himself earnestly with suggestions for their commercial and national ad vancement ; and afterwards wrote a very interesting history of the Union. "We rejoice," adds Mr. Macau lay (for it is needless to conceal his name), " to have to couple that act so eminently in the best spirit of the Revolution, so large-minded and so tolerant, with his name. It changed turbulence to tranquillity ; rude po verty to a rich civilisation ; and the fierce atrocities of a dominant Church to the calm enjoyment of reli gious liberty." Yet this man, so noble in all his conduct, so useful to his country, and so happy in his family, and who, in his old age, and on the brink of the grave, loved, to use his own words, his youngest daughter " above all his comforts," was tried at th Old Bailey, convicted, pilloried, imprisoned, and ruined in his fortune, which then - was not small, because in his " Shortest way with Dissenters," he denounced the Bill against Occasional Conti rmity. So stupid was the public, the work which was ironical was taken for seri ous, and after a little the writer was assailed by one universal clamour, " Sluggish, timid, cowardly Dissen ters were struck with fear ; rabid Churchmen shouted approval, a Cambridge fellow wrote to thank his book seller for having sent him so excellent a treatise, it being next to the Holy Bible and the Sacred Comments, the most valuable he had ever seen." But both parties were " taken in, " and loud and furious were the ex ecrations of the Church and the Court against the author. De Foe found it necessary to seek a hiding-place in the storm; a reward of fifty pounds was off.red for his apprehension, and a proclamation ap peared in the London Gazate thus describing his person : —" A middle-sized spare man, about forty years old, of a brown complexion and dark brown coloured hair, but wears a wig ; a hooked nose, a sharp chin, grey eyes, and a large mole m ar his mouth, owner of the brick and pantiles works, near Tilbury Fort, in Essex." He was not, however, betrayed, for with his usual honesty and manly spirit when he heard that the printer and pub lisher were thrown into prison he surrendered himself . He was condemned, as we have said, and ordered to stand three times in the pillory. Here is the account of the scene : " On the 29th of July, 1703, there appealed, in twenty-four quarto pages,' 'A Hymn tolhe Pillory, by Daniel De Foe;' and on that day, we are informed by the London Gazette, Daniel De Foe stood in the pillory before the Royal Ex change in Cornhill; on the day following, near the conduit in Cheapside ; and on the 31st, at Temple-bar. A large crowd had assembled to provide themselves sport; but the pillory they most enjoyed was not of the Government's erecting. Unexpectedly they saw the Law pilloried, and the Ministers of State; the dullness which could not compre hend, and the malice which on that account would punish, a popular champion. They veered quickly round. Other mis siles than were wont to greet a pillory reached De Foe; and shouts of a different temper. His health was drunk with ac clamations as he stood there; and nothing harder than a flower was flung at him. ' The people were expected to treat me very ill,' he said; but it was not so. On the contrary, they were with me; wished those who had set me there were placed in my room; and expressed their affections hy loud shouts and acclamations when I was taken down.' We are told that garlands covered the platform where he stood ; and that he saw the 'Hymn' passed fibm hand to hand, and heard What it calmly said less calmly repeated— ' Tell them the men that placed him here Are scandals to thetimes; Are at a loss to find his guilt, And can't commit his crimes.' " He still continued to be the sport of fortune. He was exalted to places of trust and emolument in the State, ad mitted to Court and kissed the Queen's hand ; became again rich and then poor; was struck with apoplexy in the year of the rebellion of 1715, but survived the attack for sixteen years, and finally closed his varied life at his country residence in Newington. The following graphic and affecting details of his latter days conclude this able biographical sketch : " While his gigantic labours were in progress, De Foe seems to have lived almost wholly at his favourite Newing ton. His writings bad been profitable. He got little for Robb:son Crusoe,' but was paid largely for its successors. We have occasional glimpses of him still engaged in mercan tile speculation; purchasing and assigning leases; disposing of South Sea stock; and otherwise attending to worldly affairs. But we do not see him steadily till 1724. A gen tleman named Baker, afterwards known as a somewha4 celebrated philosophical inquirer, had then occasion to go to Newington, where he fell in love with a pretty girl, the youngest of three daughters who lived in a large and hand some house in Church-street, which their father had newly built, The father was an old gentleman of sixty-four years, afflicted with gout and stone, but very cheerful, stilt very active, with mental faculties in sharp abundance, keeping a handsome coach, paying away much money in acts of cha rity-, and greatly given to the cultivation of a large and pleasant garden. This was Daniel De Foe. We know no thing more with certainty till six years later; when, from one of the most affecting letters which the English language contains, we learn that the conduct of De Foe's second Son was embittering the closing days of his long and checkered life, lie had violated some large trust reposed in him by his father, and had reduced his mother and sisters to beg gary. De Foe writes from a place near Greenwich, where he seems to have been some time wandering about alone, in want, and with a broken heart, The letter is to his son-in law Baker; possessor of hie ' best gift,' his dear daughter; and closes thus;—' I would say, I hope with comfort, that it is yet well I am so near my journey's end, and am hasten ing to the place where the weary are at rest, and where the wicked cease to trouble; be it that the passage is rough, and the day St,orrny. By what way soever He please to bring me to the end of it, I desire to finish life with this temper of soul in all cases,- , re .pcutn laudamus. Kiss my dear Sophy once more for me, MA if I must see her no more, tell her this is from a father tlfat toyed her above all his comforts, to his last breath.' " The money was .recovered, and the family again pros perous; but Daniel De Foe was gone. In his seventy-first year, on the 24th of April 1731, he had somehow found his way back to London—to die in that parish of St. Giles, Cripplegate, wherein he was born ; and, as long as the fa mous old city should live, to live in the memory and admira tion of her citizens." There are other articles in the number that require notice, but this will suffice for the present. THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER ll, 1845. THE REVENUE FOR.

SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were for .he most part inclined to realise, but submitting to lower rates, and making the decline for the week 6d to Is per cwt, occa sioned the demand to be fair. I❑ all 500 were sold to-day, - • making the total sales for the week 2,250 hhds and tierces. REFINED.—To- day 64s to 65s were the rates taken for brown grocery, and 66s for standard lumps, but upon these terms aMr business was done. The market is quiet for bonded Crushed Sugar, and 38s to 39s per cwt is the rate of first quality. 111.avit1nus.—For strong refining and bright grocery quali ties, a good demand has existed, and the rates are on a par with those of this day week, but all inferior and brown sorts, of which the supply chiefix consists, have been purchased with caution, and a decline in prices of Is to 2s has taken place. FOREIGN.`` - -the market having been sparingly supplied with all descriptidns of Foreign Sugar this week, any mate rial decline in prices has been prevented, but there is a want of demand, and stocks are accumulating. Although white and brown Brazil may be purchased privately at a further reduction in prices, still very little business has been trans acted by Exporters or cur Refiners working under bond. In other sorts of Foreign there has been very little business transacted, and former rates are not obtainable. MOLASSES.—Prices continue firm for West India, and sales to a fair extent have been made. A strong desire has been shown to purchase Bengal Treacle for present and forward delivery, and prices have advanced to 19s to 20s per cwt. EAST IsanA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with attention, and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 3,843 bags, were principally sold at full rates. COFFEE.—This afternoon a large parcel of Plantation Ceylon was submitted to public competition, and.nearly the whole sold, but prices ruled irregular; on the whole, how ever, they were equal to those previously quoted. TEA.—There has been a falling off in the demand for Black and Green this week, in consequence of public sales to the extent of 22,000 packages being announced for Tuesday next • but in the value little variation has occurred, al though there are further arrivals. COCOA.—The stock of West India having accumulated considerably_ of late, a stronger desire has been shown by some parties to realise this week, and the limited business transacted has been at a decline on former rates of 2s per cwt. SPICES.—This afternoon Nutmegs were in excellent re quest, and 14 cases at auction were sold at rather higher rates. Of Mace the supply is on the increase—at auction, however, 18 cases were offered, and all sold at the full value. White Pepper was purchased with caution, and 325 bags at auction were all taken in at 5d for mid, and 6d fur good mid quality. Of Malabar 1,001 bags were all sold at the full value, and brought 5%d for heavy bright clean brown ; 183 barrels of Jamaica Ginger fetched 31 7s to 718 s for good and fine. With Cassia Lignea the market was abundantly supplied ; two parcels amounting to 3,640 chests were submitted to public competion ; buyers were desirous to purchase, and it sold with much spirit at an advance on former rates o, 2s to ss. RlCE.—This afternoon Bengal Rice was sought after, and 961 bags at auction sold rather above the former value—good mid white at 19s 6d to 20s, mid 18s 6d, sea damaged, first class 18s to 18s 6d, second class 17s, third class 14s, fourth and fifth class lOs 6d to lls, sugar damaged 17s per cwt. SPIRITS.—There has been an extensive business transacted in every description of Jamaica Rum this week by exporters and the home trade; the sale amount to 1,000 puns, at a further advance in prices of Id to 2d per gallon. Leeward Island has been in excellent request, and brought stiffer rates; the quantity sold has been 200 puns, proof at is lld to 2s. and tine brown ditto at 2s 9id. De merara has been sold to a fair extent and at stiffer rates, strong quality bringing 2s 10d to 3s 2d. Calcutta has been much sought atter, and prices continue on the rise. INviGo.—To- day, at the quarterly sales, exporters and the home trade were cautious in their proceedings, but im porters continue to show firmness. Of the total quantity passed the sales this afternoon, amounting to 6,993 chests, 1,040 have been taken in, 3,281 withdrawn, leaving only 2,672 chests actually sold. For Bengal prices ranged from 3s to 6s Bd, Madras 2s 6d to 3s Bd, and Oudes 2s 9d to 3s 8d per lb. COCHINEAL—This afternoon a stronger desire was shown to purchase, and 125 bags at auction were all sold, 5s 7d to 5s 10d for Honduras silvers, being full rates. SALTPETRE.—Rough has been in much better request, and the parcels taken for home consumption and exportation, by private treaty, were at better prices. OILS.—In Seal Oil the purchases made by exporters and the home trade have been on a more extended scale, but holders are inclined to realise and accept 301 lOs to 30l 158 for pale, 291 lOs to 301 for straw, 28110 s to 291 for yellow, and 27/ aOs to 28s per tun for brown. Although Cod can be pur chased at the low rate of 291t0 291105, still little business has been transacted. There are very few buyers of Southern for home consumption or exportation notwithstanding the cheapness of the article. Sperm has been purchased with more freedom. Linseed Oil has been in extensive request on the spot ; further purchases have been made by exporters, and prices continue on the rise. In Rapeseed Oil many pur chases have been made. Olive has been in excellent request, and bring full rates. Spanish and Sicily 38/ lOs to 39s per tun. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DOWNING STREET, Ocr. 7, 1845. The Queen has been pleased to appoint J. A.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE.-12 to I agst The Baron-20 to 1 agst Clumsy (t) BRIEF STATEMENT OF FACTS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It will be recollected that in April last the cases of Thomas La. kin and Ann Ward, were brought by petition before both Houses of Parliament. It appeared that having been unable to pay a poor's rate, and having no sufficient goods and chattels, they were impri soned in Leicester county gaol till the rate should be paid. It was paid by a charitable gentleman. They were then sent to the House of Correction for one month to hard labour, for inability to pay the costs, and having, as before, nothing on which a distress could be levied. Thomas Lakin has now heen subjected to another levy, which he is again unable to pay. A distress warrant is issued with the same result as before. He is summoned before the Bench of Magistrates, and committed to the county gaol, as befigfr for an indefinite pe riod, till the rate, amounting to ss. 4d.. is Nid,- with the prospect of another month of hard labour for the costs. This is a poor man of excellent character, as attested in writing by his employers and others. His wages for the last eleven weeks (taken from the pay master's weekly tickets) average 9s.

The rent of the cottage (the little furniture of which belongs to his landlord), is Is. 6d., leaving about Bs. to support himsel4 his wife, and four children, the eldest eleven years old and blind, and the youngest barely twelve months ! By going to the Ashby-de-la-Zouch bench, as summoned a week or two ago, he incurred a lose of four shillings, and the fees then charged and ordered by the magistrates were five shillings for the magistrate's clerk, and one shilling and sixpence for the constable; so that, doubtless when the hand of charity relerties him from his first and indefinite imprisonment. he will, as before, be charged some twenty or thirty shillings costs, and sent for a month among felons at the treadmill for inability to pay that amount. On the former occasion, in April last, he was released three days before the expiration of the month by the in. tervention of her Majesty, both Sir James Graham, in the House of Commons, and the Lord Chancellor, in the House of Lords, ad. milting fully the illegality and inhumanity of the course pursued by the magistrates. The committing magistrates on that occasion were R. G. Cresswell, Esq., and W. Wootton Abney, Esq. In this instance they are R. G. Cresswell, Esq., and the Rev. Sir Nigel Gresley. The commitment is dated from Ashby-de.la-Zonch, Oct. 4. 1845. Thomas Lakin is an inhabitant of the village of Whitwick, six miles from Aehby, and works in the Whitwick coal pits. THE MURDER AT CAMBERWELL. Yesterday afternoon an inquiry of some hours duration took place at the Swan Inn, Park-road, Camberwell, before William Carter, Esq., coroner for Surrey, on view of the body of Benja.. min Booth, aged 45 years, a plasterer, whose death had been cc. casioned by a brutul attack made upon him, whilst in a defenceless state, by a man named John Welsh, a fellow-lodger, who has since absconded. John Jarvis, carpenter, deposed that he lodged with Mr. Ma thews, No. 1, Malpas.street, Peckham New Town, Camherwell. Deceased and a man named Welsh also lived there. Welsh had been away for about a month, until Sunday last, when he returnei. They (deceased and Welsh) used to occupy the same bed, and with witness all slept in the same room. On Sunday night they went to bed as usual. Nothing then passed between them of an angry nature. On the following morning Welch got up first (about half. past five o'clock), and after he had dressed himself, he said to de. ceased, " Why don't you get up, Booth, and not lie there and lose your time ?" Deceased replied, " You be-, I don't want you to be troubling me at all I You had no business here. The Last time you slept wiih me my money fell out of my pocket, and you (Welsh) gathered it up and kept Is. 6d. or 2s. out of it." Welsh upon this became much exasperated, and angry words passed be tween them. Welsh then left the room for a minute, and on his return said to deceased, "Do you still persist that I bad your money ?" Deceased replied, " Yes ;'' upon which Welsh retorted, " I'll pay it out of you," and instantly left the room. In less than a minute he returned with a tailor's sleeve.board in his hand, and, rushing at deceased, struck him several blows on the head with it whilst he was in a half sitting position in bed. Deceased cried out, " Oh, Welch, don't hit me any more." Welch appeared to strike as hard as he could. Wituess imme diately jumped out of bed and endeavoured to get hold of Welch, but before he could accomplish it he had struck deceased two slighter blows on the back. A man named Luney then came into the room, and who wrenched the sleeve-board from him. Witness afterwards went to work, and Welch accompanied him a short distance on the road, when they parted, he saying he should go to New. cross Railway station to seek employment. Witness had not seen him since. On their way, Welch said he was sorry for what he had done. Mr. Thomas Morris, surgeon, Peckham, deposed that he was sent for to deceased. lie found him in bed quite insensible, breathing stertorously. From his appearance witness attributed his condition to compression of the brain. He bled him, and re. sorted to all necessary remedies. Deceased never was restored to a state of consciousness, and died the same night. Had since made a post-mortem examination. On opening the head, he found a crack or fracture extending from about two inches above the temporal muscle to the babe of the brain; also found a mass of blood of about three ounces in weight pressing on the right hemis phere of the brain, between the dura mater and the skull, which arose from a rupture of one of the arteries of the brain. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against John Welch. Welch being still at large, the Coroner issued his warrant for his apprehension.

We entertained strong doubti as to the truth of this averment from the first, and we are at present in possession of information on the subject which enables us to give a dech'ed contradiction to the rumour that the Davis's Straits lead possesses any of the pro perties which render the Borrowdale lead so valuable. A friend of ours was in Leith the other day when the Comet arrived from Davis's Straits with a cargo of the lead on board, samples of which he examined with great care, and so far from its possessing the valuable properties of the Borrow dale lead, it does not even resemble it in appearance. In fact, it could not be distinguished from what is known in the trade as Spanish lead ; its ever coming into use, therefore, as a sub stitute for the valuable mineral found in Borrowdale, is en tirely out of the question.—Cumberland Pacquet.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —A FRIGRTFUL CASE OF A BAD LEG EED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—Mr. Thomas Clarke, a retired captain from the South Sea trade, residing in Globe-lane, Mile-end, had had a bad leg for five years. There were about twenty boles in it. Several pieces of bone had come away. The limb was often the size of a child's body. It frequently caused the most excruciating pain. The captain was told that his leg must be amputated ; but he, like hundreds of others, has got it soundly healed by me ans a s re old inf a a t llib p le ro i r n es t s h o y me ans of these surprising remedies, the c ure of all wounds, sores, and ulcers.— Holloway's Establishment, 244.
