The gene ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following cautious:—Some are in appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments.

Capital 600,0001., in 20,000 shares of 301. each Deposit 3/. 10s. per share. This undertaking is intended to forth a connecting line of railway communication between the five great lines of railway at present radiating from the metropolis through the counties of Middlesex and Surrey, viz.—the Birmingham, the Great Western, the South Western the Brighten, and the Dover lines, commencing at or near the Har row station on the Birmingham line, crossing the Great Western at or near Southall, the South Western at or near Kingston, and termi nating at or near the Merstham station, on the Brighton and Dover lines, thereby completing a direct and rapid insane of communication between the West, North-West, and Midland counties, and the Southern and South-Eastern parts of the kingdom. Mr. Tare has reported that on a very moderate estimate a revenue of at least 52,0001. a year is to be relied upon on the ffrst opening of the line, and that a vast increase may confidently be expected at an early period from sources not yet developed. The estimated cost of the line is considerably within the proposed capital, and the atmospheric principle has been recommended to the Shareholders. Applications for Shares and Prospectuses to be made on or before the 15th inst., to the Solicitors, Messrs. Allen and Holmes, 31, Bed ford-row, and Messrs.

(Before Mr. Justice WiGnminli and a Special Jury.) CHRISTMAS V. TUBBS. This was an action brought by Mr. Christmas, a hatter and fur manufacturer, residing in Burlington-arcade, against Mr. Tubbs, a Magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant for the county of Middlesex, to recover the sum of 6/. 1 Is. 6d. for goods supplied to that gentleman's wife. The goods supplied were admitted to be of a proper and necessary character for a lady, and the prices charged for them were not contested. The point in dispute was the liability of the husband to pay, he and his wife having been sepayated, br mutual consent, for many years. The parties, it appeared, were married in 1822, at which time a sum of 5001. per annum was settled on the lady by her father. In 1829, by mutual consent, they agreed to live separately, Mrs. Tubbs, of course, being in the exclusive enjoyment of her 500/. a year, which, at a subsequent period, was in creased to 6001. a year, by a bequest accruing under the will of a deceased relative. Mr. and Mrs. Tubbs had one child, a son, who lived sometimes with one, and some times .with the other, but in the earlier portion of his life more frequently with the mother. All three, Mr. Tubbs, Mrs. Tubbs, and Master Tubbs, dealt with Mr. Christmas, and their several bills were regularly paid. In the be ginning of the year 1840, Mr. Christmas sent in his previous year's bill to Mrs. Tubbs, and when he called for payment, found to his astonishment, not only that Mrs. Tubbs was dead, but also that for years she had been living separately from her husband. This was the very first intimation the plaintiff had of this fact. He then applied to Mr. Tubbs for the payment of his wife's bill, being only 6/. 1 ls. 6d. for the entire year 1839, and was referred by that He to another party who would probably pay him. He waited on the other party, who, however, declined to do so, referring him back to Mr. Tubl)s, who not only, as he said, - was legally liable, but was also morally so, being in the receipt and actual possession of 5781., the dividends accruing to his wife from the period of her decease, in addition to a very handsome income ()this own. Mr. Christmas then applied by letter to Mr. Tubbs (the letter being produced in Court) to pay his debts at once, expressing his surprise that, under all the circumstances above detailed, he should for one'Moment MR. BEARD'S DAGUERREOTYPE, or PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS. These inimitable and much admired Portraits, - in which further improvements have lately been effected, are taken by the Patentee, at 85, King William-street, City . - • 34, Parllament-street ; and at the Royal Polytechnic, Institution, 39; Regent-street ; by whom, also, licenses are granted for exercising the invention in provincial towns and districts. N ATIONAL - LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital X 500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that ths. Society's great success and growing proSperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; - and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums. have hesitated to do so. This letter the plaintiff sent to the defendant by his own son ; who was now produced in Court, and who distinctly swore that, in answer to it, Mr. Tubbs sent this verbal message by him to his father—" Tell your father I will call and pay him." This was the strong poiht in the case, it being contended by Mr. Erle, for the plaintiff, that even were the defendant discharged from his liability, by reason of a separation and of ample means on the part of his wife to maintain herself in ade quate respectability, yet, that the promise to pay,' now sworn to, was, according to decisions given by Lords Ellen borough and Tenterden, amply sufficient to warrant the jury in finding for his client. Mr. Whately, on the other hand, questioned this promise very much, and strongly contended that after - so many rears - of separation, and such ample means at the command of the wife, it would be impossible for the jury to givis It verdict for'the plaintiff, which would have the effect of encouraging trial on . trial of, this description. The JUDGE having summed up, the jury turned round to consider their verdict, but not' being able to agree, retired from the Court to consult. After an absence of nearly an hour and a half, they returned into Court, and gave their verdict for the plaintiff for the full anioont claimed. luded to was not made loud enough for the Court to hear, for, if it had, it would most certainly have been taken notice of as a very improper proceeding. He did not believe that Mr. Wilkins was actuated by any desire to offend the jury, and he was satisfied, from his know ledge of him, that if he were then present, he would be the first man to disclaim such an object. Counsel in the excitement of the moment, and actuated by a feeling for their clients, might make a harsh observation, which they would probably afterwards regret ; and it would be well that jurors should not pay attention to what was said, under such circumstances, to third'parties. As to the opinion expressed by Mr. Francis that such pro ceedings might affect the independence of juries, he did not see how it could possibly have that effect. Mr. Francis said, that having made thel fact known to the Court, he had now only to make au apology to the Learned Judges for intruding upon their attention. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said he had no occasion to apologise. He was perfectly justified in doing so, as there could be no doubt that the observation in question must have been very offensive to the jury. The conversation then dropped, and Mr. Francis re tired. ' Henry Newman was indicted for forging an acceptance to a bill of exchange for 20/., with intent to defraud. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Charlotte Scott was indicted for forging a receipt, with intent to defraud Nicholas, Baron Besley, and others, the, trustees of the St. Martin's Saving's Bank. Mr. -Doane conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prisoner. This case was similar to the one disposed of on Friday. A sum of 601. had been paid in the bank by an old woman named Anne Lee, and after her death the prisoner produced an order for the payment of the amount, but in sonsequence of it appearing that the depositor could not write, some suspicion was excited, and an inquiry took place. It was then ascertained that the prisoner had signed the order, and she said that the deceased had authorised her to do so. It also turned out that the deceased had been buried as a pauper, and that she had amassed - the money by rzeans of begging letters and other impositions during her lifetime. 'The jury found the prisoner guilty, and she was sen tenced to two years', imprisonment and hard labour. • THE QUEEN V. HOLT. The defendant in,this case is Thomas Holt, the pro prietor andpublisher of the Age newspaper, who had been indicted fur a libel upon the character of Lord W. Paget. The case had been removed out of this Court by a writ of certiorari, and brought back again by a procedendo. The defendant, at present a prisoner in the Queen's Prisoa,. was brought up in custody to plead. The Clerk addressed him, and said, " Thomas Holt, you are indicted for a libel and misdemeanor ; do you plead guilty,or not guilty ?" The defendant pleaded not guilty. . After, a:: short conversation between Mr. Doane and, the Court, the prisoner was removed ; and it was under stood that the case would be tried this day.

Ckarlotte Collins, very fashionably-dressed, and of lady like appearance was :brought up in custody of Inspector Dudley, of the l division, charged on suspicion of entering the shop of Mr.lWilliam Chickell Jay, _of 247 and 249, Regent stieet, silk mercer, with intent to commit felOny. The Court was thronged with tradesujel who had - thanes to prefer against her. Mr. Jay stated that between six and seven o'clock last evening the prisoner entered his shop and made a selection of goods to the amount of 281., and directed they should be sent to a fictitious address in Bond-street. While looking over the goods, however, she was identified as being the party who some months previously ordered goods in a similar manner to be sent to an address, which proved to be false, and on that occasion it was discovered, that while selecting the goods she contrived to steal a piece of valuable silk. Her _ordering the goods was a mere ruse to afford her the oppor tunity of stealing. Mr. Wm. Poppy, of No. 285, High Holborn, silk mercer, &c., stated, that about five months since, the prisoner paid him a visit, and ordered goods . to the amount of 12L, to be sent with the change of a 201. note, to Miss Parker, at No. 21, Charing-cross. Of course, no such person could be found there. Immediately after she had left the shop a valuable shawl, which had been shown her, was missing. Mr. Baker, of Ludgate-hill, silk mercer, was visited by the prisoner in a similar manner, and lost a piece of silk. Inspector Dudley said, that on searching the prisoner's lodgings, at No. 4, Upper Rosamond-street, Clerkenwell, 21 duplicates were found, which related, no doubt, to the pro perty stolen. She had been carrying on this system of de predation to a very great extent for upwards of twelve months past. She was ordered to be detained in the custody of the In spector until the property at the pawnbrokers should be examined. Showing the Numbe of different kinds, years. of' Places of S .

DESPERATE ASSAULT.—John Kale and Mary Beasley (his sister), were charged with violently assaulting John Beasley, under the following circumstances : The prosecutor (who is the husband of the female prisoner) stated that, from the intemperate and irregular conduct of his wife, he had been frequently obliged to leave her. At eleven o'clock last night, on his return to his mother's house, where ho was in the habit of staying, Kale rushed into the room, and upsetting the table at which he was eating his supper, struck him a violent blow across his head with a shovel, which he had taken from the fire-place on his entrance. He then knocked him down and stamped on his chest, and would no doubt have murdered him, had not his cries of " Murder " brought several persons to his aid, who secured the prisoner. The female prisoner, it appeared, assisted in the assault, The Worthy MAGISTRATE said that it was his duty to make an example of those who resorted to the un-English practice of assaulting others with such dangerous weapons. He should, therefore, fine the male prisoner 31., or six weeks' im prisonment, and the female prisoner 305., or three weeks' im prisonment. _ -------------- Placesof Sweep- Matches. Total 'Fears.

THE AUTHOR OF " TREMAINE.”—Perhaps no other literary name of the day excites such interest in connection with the announcement of a new novel or romance, as that of the Author of " Tremaine ;" and from th e ti me when that name first came before the l iterar y wo rld , up to the present moment, it has never befor e been conn ected with so piquant and attractive a title, especially for novel an d romance readers, as that of the wo rk it is now o n the point of usher ing into the world — nam el y , " Chatswort h ; or the Romance of a Week." It is true , the res p onsibilit y of the Author of " Tremaine " on the pres ent occasion i s that of " Editor " only; but the social as well as the literary position of Mr. Plumer Ward, added to his accomplished and fastidious taste, and his elegant scholarship, offe a guarantee th a t th e work is one of no ordinary pretensions.r [ADVERTISEMENTI ---REMARKA BLE CURE OF A DREADFUL CASE OF CROFULA BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OE.TrmENT.—Mr. Moore, a chemist, residing at Castle Donnington, states that he sold Holloway's Pills and Oint ment to John Bircher, residing at King's Mi lls, Derbyshire, for the use of his son, age d 13 years, who had been afflicted with Scrofula for a period of eight years, and had been under the treatment of the celebrated Dr. Dorman, of Melbourne ; Dr. Extale, of Swannington ; Dr. Barton, of Stanley ; and Dr. Hearp, of Derby, but without obtaining the least relief.

A GLIMPSE AT SPANISH LIFE AS IT IS.—Between Pancorbo and Burgos we passed several half -ruined villages, which appeared parched—almost calcined—by the sun. I doubt if Decamps, the painter, ever encountered, during his rambles in the heart of Asia Minor, anything more burnt and tawny, more crumbling and decayed, than these wretched collection of hovels. Wandering about among their dilapi dated walls, were a few jackasses, of that philosophical and contemplative aspect peculiar to the Spanish donkey, who is fully aware of his aw n utility, considers himself as part of the family to w hi c h he belongs ; and, m oreover, having read Don Quixote, assum es an additional degr ee o f i mportance, on account of die possibility of his being lineally descended from Sancho's celebrated Dapple. Besides the asses, the only living things visible were some magnificent dogs of va rious breeds ; amongst others, several enormous greyhounds, uch as one sees introduced in the paintings of Paul Veronese and Velasquez ; and here and there a group of peasant chil dren, whose eyes sparkled, like black diamonds, through their filthy rags and long tangledhair.— Gautier's Travels in Spain.

Mr. O'NEILL said, as he came forward to preside at the first meeting held after the arrest of Mr. O'Connell, he conceived t t h r h e a e c w t a ed s verdict. bound th o nA notice i o ( c i w c e c o u t o f rr tnetini:ec ec civilisedht a n d e i c ti hi t r lv a ko t er I the ldi . fi cT r: h t we hoimeetingnclhy himan acin a ., ft lt e ..: the world who possessed the confidence of seven millions of people was about to be removed from them for a shOrt time. A blow had been struck at them in his person; and an at tempt was made to invade the liberty of the ress—tha great palladium of p u bli c liberty— en an p gine Which they valued next to their personal liberty.—(Hea r , and cheers.) He did not impugn the verdict which had been given —this was not the place for doing so; but elsewhere it would be the subject of discussion. This he believed —that had the trial taken place in England there would have been an ac quittal. It had been said that the Government would put down the Association by a proclamation. He would tell her Majesty's Government very calmly, but not le ss determin edly, that if they did, patriotism, would assume so many Protean shapes, that no Administration could put down the struggle for national independence. Shortly before two o'clock Mr. O'Connell entered the hall, and was received with peals of applause. Mr. O'CorssELL—One word for Ireland. Everybody knows that Lord John Russell has given notice of a motion for to-morrow in reference to the affairs of Ireland. I do not think much of any battle which may take place between parties in London upon the subject. The present Parlia ment is packed against Ireland, and it is not my intention to go over to the debate, lest I should hold out the expectation that the present Parliament would do anything for Ireland. But still I would wish to give every reasonable assistance to Lord John Russell's motion. Therefore, I will move that two of the gentlemen who acted as counsel for the tra versers (Sir Colman'O'Loghlin-and Mr. O'Hea) be nomi nated stSi'probeeff' te'London this night to render aSsslgratite to Lord John Russell. They are full masters of all the de tails of the case, and may be useful in affording information to Lord John Russell. I therefore move that the standing order be suspended, to enable me to move that the Associa tion should request Sir C. O'Loghlin and Mr. O'Hea to pro ceefl to London to-night. The motion was put and passed. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, 111.1 ) .—I rise to propose a motion for calling upon Mr. O'Connell to allow the Association to print his address in defence of the people, as delivered by him in the Court of Queen's Bench. It was an admirable oration ; and was not less so, because it was altogether free from meretricious ornament. The Judges of England, he -con sidered, had always been looked upon as councial for the ac- . . cused; but on that occasion the Chief Justice had not only departed from that rule, but had actually volunteered him self as counsel against them, and forgot himself so far as to allude to the counsel for the traversers, as the gentlemen on the other side.—(Cheers.) He felt that they were bound to bring these things under the consideration of Parliament and her Majesty. Mr. N. NAIIER, M. P., said he had great pleasure in se condieg the motion of Mr. O'Brien. There was nothing he so much delighted in as exposing a public delinquent. The motion having been put from the chair and carried, Mr. O'CONNELL said that of course he would comply with the request, although that the speech lie made was said to have been a failure; but anything he could have said would have been a failure when compared with the splendid address' of his friend, Mr. Sheil, and the transcendantly talented speech of that able counsel, Mr. Whiteside. lie (Mr. O'Con nell) did not therefore attempt to use any eloquence in his speech—there was no gilding upon his gingerbread. He had extorted religious equality, and trampled under foot Orange ascendancy—(Here a scene of yellineensued that it would be impossible to describe.) If he were confined in a dungeon —(Cries of " No, no," and great confusion)—he meant to say, that in case such an event occurred, was it not a subject. or congratulation that they wouid find another leader in Smith O'Brien ? it Mr. O'CONNELL read letter from Dr. Gr ay, in which that gentleman tendered his resignation as a 'member of the As sociation, because he felt that the present were times when proprietors of public journals ought not to be identified with an Association like this. Mr. O'Connell regretted that Dr. Gray was obliged to adopt the course he had done..He would always consider him as one of his dearest friends, and an un flinching advocate of the people's rights. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN wished it to be distinctly understood that they received Dr. Gray's resignation under protest. The week's rent was then announced to be 643!., and the meeting separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUTENANT DYKE. • A Court-martial, composed of Rear-Admiral Superinten dent Hyde Parker, CIL,- President ; Captain W. Henderson, C. 8., of the Victory ; Captain Sir J. Hastings, Knight, of the Excellent; Captain R. F. Rowley; of the St. Vincent; and Commander Wilcox, of the Ordinary ; with Mr. W. Greatham, Judge Advocate, assembled on Monday morning on board the Vincent, 120 flag-ship, to try Lieut. Pecbe Hart Dyke, late senior Lieutenant of the Iris, 26, on charges exhibited against him by Captain W. Lee, R.M., late "acting Commandant of the Island of Ascension. First Charge.—For having, on or about the 20th of July, 1842, the Iris being then at anchor off the _lsland of Ascen sion, falsely and maliCiOusly asserted on beard the Iris, that he (Captain W. L ee ) h a d destroyed or Made away with cer tain public letters and'dOciiinents from the late Captain Pen nett, Commandant of the Island of AseensiOn, addressed to the Admiralty, and to the late Captain Tucker, senior naval officer on the African station, he the said Captain W. Lee) being at the time acting Conimancdant of that island. Second Charge. s --For having, on or about the 26th day of July, 1842, falsely , and maliciously stated, in the gun-room of the Iris, that he (Captain Lee) 'had told a d e lib era t e li e ; and that he (Captain Lee) had broken open a desk, and taken therefrom, articles whichdid not belong to him ; such state ments and assertions tending to injure his (Captain Lee's) character as an officer and a gentleman. A number of witnesses were examined for the prosecution, among them a young lady who had sent out the desk in ques tion from England, and who under very trying circumstances, although very young, gave her evidence in a most correct, becoming, and lady-like manner. The prisoner, who was assisted by Messrs. Minchin and Oake, solicitors, made a most able defence, and called a number of witnesses to disproVe the evidence for the prosecu tion. A number of certificates from officers under whom the prisoner had served were handed in, and were read to the Court ; and Captains Sir W. Grant, Sir J. Hastings, and R. F. Rowley, Dr. Irvine, and several others, were called on, who gave Lieutenant Dyke a high private and public profes sional character. The Court having maturelY weighed the evidence for and against the prisoner, found him in part guilty.of the first charge, and sentenced him to be admonished to be more care ful in his language in future. Ths Court acquitted the prisoner on the second charge. ' 'The proceedings of the Court did not terminate till n e a r ly eight o'clock, r.M. rim FUNDS—(CLOSING PRICES.) BRITISH FUNDS.

ACCIDENT AT THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT'B STABLES. —Yesterday afternoon Thomas Enwright, a groom in the service of the Duke of Beaufort, was kicked in a shocking manner by a horse belonging to his Grace, at his stables, Apple-tree-yard, York-street, St. James's-square. It appears that Enwright was about to remove the horse from his stall, and on arriving near him he called to him in the usual way, when the animal suddenly kicked out and struck the unfor tunate man in the face, hurling him with fearful violence against the wall of the stable opposito. On proceeding to his assistance scarcely a feature of his face was discernible, the nose being completely flattened, one eye forced from its socket, and a long and deep wound, so as to admit thereia two fingers, across the top of his nose and under the fore head. A medical gentleman was called in, who, however, directed his immediate removal to St. George's Hospital, where he was attended by Mr. Keate, one of the house sur geons, and Serjeant-Surgeon to her Mtkiesty, and his assis tants ; and, notwithstanding the injuries the - patient has received, some slight hopes are given of his ultimate recovery. THE WEATHER.—THE MAILS.—On Monday night a thick fog prevailed throughout the metropolis and neigh bourhood, which rendered travelling both difficult and dan gerous. On the Thames navigation was almost wholly sus pended, the vessels which did leave the docks and wharfs being obliged to bring up soon -afterwards in the Pool and other parts of the river.

JOHN WILKIE, Ca%inet and Chair Manufacturer, 20, Nassau street, Middlesex Hospital. THE 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 successfully 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 • . • • • ..2s. 9d. to 3s. and 3s. 4d. per lb. 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 Congeu, 3s. Bd. or 4s. per lb. ; for the finest Congou imported, ss. per lb. ; and for the most delicious Souchong, ss. 6d. per lb. The two latter Teas are of very rare quality.

George Elmer, a policeman, belonging to the Brighton Railway, was charged before Mr. Cottingham with stealing a gold seal and ring, the property of a gentleman named Fisher. It appeared that on the preceding evening, the com plainant drove up to the terminus of the above railway in a cab, and in his hurry to get out he left a gold seal and a ring on the seat. The prisoner, whose duty it was to attend to the regulation of the different vehicles, was observed to take the articles out of the cab and afterwards conceal them. He, however, denied the accusation, but when the place where he had been previously seen to go after leaving the cab was searched, the seal andring were found hidden under some earth. Inspector Baker, of the above railway, gave the prisoner an unexceptionable character up to the present offence. Mr. COTTINGTIAM said that the offence was a most serious one, and that the prisoner, instead: of protecting the property of passengers, had in this instance plundered one. He (the Magistrate) certainly should send the case for trial, but would remand the accused until the complainant came up from Brighton. Win. Hardham was charged with wounding George Sey mour, who was very ill from loss of blood. The complainant went into the Crown public-house, West minster-road, on Thursday night, and having had some al tercation with the prisoner, the latter struck him under the chin with some weapon, and inflicted a serious wound The complainant had been in the hospital since, and the Magis trate, seeing the case was of such a serious character, sent for the surgeon, with a view of having his evidence reduced to writing. CENTRAL CRI VIINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL and Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Upon the Learned Judges taking their seats yesterday, Mr. Francis, one of the jurors, who sat in this Court on Saturday, in a case of a felonious assault against an Italian, named Maribello, in conjunction with six foreign jurors, when a verdict of guilty was returned, begged permission to make a few observations to the Court, in reference to a remark made by Mr. Wilkins, the counsel for the prisoner on that occasion. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE having intimated that the Court would hear what he had to say. Mr.' Francis went on to state, that upon the trial in question, the jury, after a very careful consideration of all the facts of the case, felt themselves compelled to re • turn a verdict of guilty ; and upon their doing so, and while the foreign jurors were in the act of leaving the box, Mr. Wilkins said to a person near him, loud enough for all the jury to hear, "For God's sake let them go, they are a set of hard-hearted wretches." Since then Mr. Wilkins had objected to him as a jurorin another case in which he was concerned, and he felt it to be his duty to state to the Court what had taken place, because he considered a most unjust and improper attack had been made upon the jury, who were only desirous to perform their duty ; but if they were to be subjected to such attacks as this from counsel, he considered the inde pendence of juries would, to a great extent, be destroyed, or, at all events, materially endangered. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that the observation al- TURD` STATISTICS. The following interesting Tables have been drawn up by 'Messrs Weatherby, Publishers of the "Racing Calendar:"— - TABLE I.

The editor of the France is to take his trial before the Court of Assizes on the 21st inst., on an indictment founded on political articles published in that journal on the 10th, 12th, and 29th of December last. M. Nadau des Islets, member of the Colonial Council at Guadaloupe, died last week at Paris. In the dreadful earth quake he lost his wife, seven children, and a sister. A soup-- only three years old, is the sole surviving member of this. untOrtunate family. The great quantity of snow which has fallen lately in Upper Bavaria and the Tyrol has greatly interrupted the communi cations in those parts, and the couriers have been considera bly retarded. Some thousands of labourers are employed in cleating the roads. The ordinary depth of the snow on the Inspruck road is six feet, but in many places it is from 15 to 30 feet. The last accounts from Spain announce that at Valencia, Seville, Saragossa, Grenada, and Malaga, the inhabitants are ready to make their pronunciamientos.

Thomas Tucker Modsell, Smith, and Co., his employers. There were five indictments against the prisoner, on the first of which he was acquitted, and convicted on the second. In answer to a question from the judge, one of the prosecutors said, that for some years they had lost from 1001. to 200/. a year. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for seven years. It appeared that between 700/. and 800/. passed through his hands in the course of a month. At Bow-street, Mr. Luke Winton, landlord of the Crooked Billet, - corner of Wych-street,,, Strand, was summoned before Mr. Jardine, charged with permitting persons of disorderly and bad character knowingly to assemble in his house, against the provisions of the Licensed Victuallers' Act, 9th Geo. IV. An inspector named Logan gave evidence against the defen dant, but the Magistrate dismissed the charge on the ground that there was no proof that the character of the parties was known to the defendant or his waiter. The house from all accounts was most respectably conducted. At the Greenwich Police Court, John Roberts, master of the schooner Waterford, of W eymout h , appeared to an in formation, at the instance of Richard Gowland, master of her Majesty's Revenue cutter Vigilant, charged with having on beard two boxes of foreign cigars, and ten packages of manufactured tobacco, the duties upon which had not been paid.

CURIOUS PHENOMENON.—A good many years since a breast-wall or quay was built at Ardentallan, in Argyllshire, for shipping stones from a quarry at which much work has been done. When Mr. David Smith, builder, at Oban, was erecting the beacon •f Skervuil, in Jura Sound, for the Northern Lights' Board, he fitted the courses of blocks for that work to their places on the quay, and has occasionally had upwards of 200 tons of stones upon it at a time, without accident. The quarry has lately been worked for the repairs of the Caledonian Canal, and on the 23d ult. there were between 170 and 180 tons of dressed stones lying upon the quay ready for shipment, when, to the astonishment of the quarriers, the crane upon the quay was observed to move and shake without any visible cause, and some openings ap peared at the surface of the quay, which were rapidly widening ; the men on the instant cried out its crane foreman, who rushed to the spot, and saw the quay, with crane and the cairn of blocks upon it, moving outwards from the shore, and sinking in the deep water; and in less than two hours the whole had proceeded seaward about 50 yards, and settled with a depth of 11 feet water over them. The whole mass is now so completely absorbed in mud and clay, that although the height of the quarry and materials could not be less than 20 feet, it has not lessened the depth of water at the entrance of the place.— Scotsman. STATE OF THE STREETS.—Yesterday the Court of Sewers, Guildhall, met at the usual hour for the transaction of business, Mr. Alderman Gibbs in the chair. At the last meeting of the Commissioners the Court directed summonses to be issued to Mr. Gore for having neglected to have cleansed about 200 streets within the City of London, by which he had incurred penalties varying from 208. to 40s. for each neglect. The inspectors, Messrs. Bowler, Paynter, and Mortimer, were called in, and also Mr. Gore. The latter, however, was re presented by his foreman. Mr. Dawse, the chief clerk„,then read the reports, from which it appears that Mr, BOwler's complaints for neglect amounted to sixteen, Mr. Mortimer's to thirty, and Mr. Paynter's to sixty-seven ; in addition to these they each had second summonses for a number of the streets. The foreman, in reply to the various summonses, said that he had been but a few days in the contractor's em ploy ; his predecessor, whose duty it was to see that the streets were kept cleansed, had, without notice, left Mr. Gore. The neglect arose from that person not doing his duty, for Mr. Gore had authorised him to put on a sufficient number of men to clean every part of the city ; and as the same powers were given to him (the foreman), he could assure the Commissioners that neither they (the inspectors), nor the Fpublic, should in future have to complain. Mr. Williams observed, that looking at the conduct of the late foreman, and the promise that no further grounds of com plaint should exist, he thought the Court would deal fairly between the contractor and the public if it inflicted, instead of double and treble penalties, only a single one. Mr. Christie thought that the neglect was intentional, for it cer tainly appeared to him that the contractor saved more money by neglecting the streets than what the penalties would amount to. Mr. Alderman Gibbs then put the question that but one penalty be imposed for the neglect which had taken place in cleansing the streets on Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday last, which was carried unanimously. The amount of penalties inflicted by this decision is about 1201. Princess Galitzin, grand-daughter of the renowned Russian General Suwarow, has arrived at Berfoix (Switzer land), where the Princess resided for several years after she embraced the Protestant faith. During her last residence in the Russian dominions, she was, by orders from high au thority, confined in a convent, from which it cost the Prin cess much trouble to get liberated. Her children are not per mitted to be with her. A MOST EXTRAORDINARY NURSE.—III the room in which dinner was laid out, a fine-robust-looking woman was walking up and down, carrying on her arm an oblong tasket, covered with a cloth, out of which there proceeded at intervals little plaintive cries and whinings, not unlike those of a very young child. This puzzled me a good deal, because the basket was so small that any infant contained in it must have been a Lilliputian phenomenon, fit only to exhibit at a fair. The riddle, however, was soon solved. The nurse—for such she was—sat down in a corner, took a little, coffee-coloured dog out of her basket, and began, very gravely, to suckle this extraordinary nursling. She was a peasant woman, from the province of Santander, and was proceeding to Madrid, where she was engaged as wet-nurse. Fearful of being disqualified by the interval between leaving her own infant and joining her foster-child, she had provided herself with this canine substitute.—Gautier's Travels in Spain.
