G°wLAND'S LOTION.— The practical utility of the toilet, in its most important intention, is attained and secured by means of this, its oldest and most fa vourite appendage. Gowland's Lotion removes all cutaneous irritability and discolorations of the skin, and promptly re establishes a clear and healthy tone of surface, while its sus taining properties, and generally pleasing effects, in obviating the consequences of variable temperature upon the delicacy and tint of the complexion, are verified by the continued freshness, usually limited to the earlier periods of personal attraction.

These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have amounted to upwards of 100,0001. In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life for 3,0001., which additions increased to 3,963/. Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro jected within the ast two or three years, it may be necessary to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma nagement of the Provident Life Office.

BANKERS—The Commercial Bank of Londun, 3, Moorgate- street, Bank. SOLICITORS—Messrs. Adlington, Gregory, Faulkner, and Follett. SECRETARY—WiIIiam Wright, Esq. _ . . This Company has been formed for the — purpose of supplying the colonies of Australasia with capital, where a high rate of in terest is obtainable, upon undoubted and improvable securities, and the Directors, from various sources of intelligence. are confirmed in their opinion, that these transactions may be con ducted with all the safety and advantage they originally con templated. It is intended to restrict the operations of the Company in the first instance to making loans on real securities, by which means much profitable business may be transacted at a com pratively small expense, with little or no risk, and the burden of large establishments rendered unnecessary ; the transac tions of the Company being confined to the lending its own capital, the personal liability of the Shareholders will be prac tically avoided ; and the Deed of Settlement renders it impera tive upon the Directors to contract with all parties doing busi ness with the Company to take the capital stock of the Com pany as their security, in the same manner as if a charter were obtained. As the Directors do not purpose, at present, to undertake the business of banking, they have made arrangements to facilitate their pecuniary operations in the colonies with the Union Bank of Australia and the Bank of South Australia, upon terms mutually advantageous. Considerable subscriptions have been already received, and Shares are reserved for the Colonies; but the Directors will be ready to receive applications for the remaining unappropri ated Shares reserved for this country. Prospectuses and all necessary information may be obtained of the Secretary, at the office of the Company. Deposits of 2/. per Share, to accompany each application, may be paid in London to the Commercial Bank of London, 3, Aloorgate-street, Bank ; and to the principal Joint-stock Banks and their branches throughout the country.

The first three modes of the writer (who is obviously a military man, and writes with a more intimate knowledge of the subject, and of the people, than we can pretend to) dismisses as either impracticable, or as tending to involve considerable risk of failure in the execution, or of en gaging us in hostilities with other countries. These plans are-Ist, An invasion in force by land, either through Thibet or Chinese Tartary, or by way of Assani ; a plan obviously impracticable. 2d. By sea, which he pronounces equally unsafe, for he proves, we think satis factorily, that none but an attack on the capital itself, Pekin, in very great force, would be at all effectual, and that we have not adequate means for it. 3d. By a block. ade of the Chinese coast, which he dismisses al.o as inadequate to produce any effect on the Imperial Govern ment, and as chiefly punishing the innocent inhabiratts, and involving them in utter ruin, while it is likely to be attended with collision with other nations. 4th. By limiting our hostile demonstrations to taking possession of some islands on or near the coast, which he particu larises and pronounces " the easiest, the most feasible, and likely to prove the most effective mode of all." On a candid perusal of his letter, we think he has established his case. This plan corresponds with the proposal made In the London Spectator of 2nd Nov. last, and by Sir George Robinson, as by far the best ; being cheap, safe, practicable, and far more likely to prove effectual than any other, while it does not extend the horrors and losses of war to an unoffending people, who are themselves the victims of a cruel and remorseless Government. We think the whole letter well worthy of attention at the present moment —Naval and Military Gazette. In view of all this, it would seem indispensible that some expedient, hitherto untried, be adopted ; by which, while consulting economy as much as practi cable, yet the means be fostered by which England's right arm of offence and defence be found ready to plant a " telling blow," whenever and wherever her honour and her liberty should require it. The following plan is, in my humble opinion, what would answer the end in view : Let a clause be introduced in the Bill for the regula tion of steam navigation, about to be brought before Parliament, by which it shall be enacted that all steam ers hereafter to be built for sea navigation, by private individuals and companies (and which are intended to be of such a tonnage as conies within the range of a scale deemed available for the purposes of war), shah be so constructed, under the superintendence of a Go vernment inspector, as to possess the most indispensible requisites of a vessel of war, be it as to strength as well as to every other particular—such as the means of opening port-holes when required, of placing swivel-guns, &c., &c. This, of course, shall be done in such a man net, as to interfere as little as possible with the mer cantile or trading properties of the boat. In short, all that would be needed, is so to construct the boat originally, as to embrace those warlike characteristics which a vessel can only possess in a proper manner when they are introduced while she is on the stocks. With this precautio, the rest can be added within a very short time at ail. of the Royal dock-yards, if ever emergencies JlloUftMetnand it. These steamers should be classed in such a way as to admit of a corresponding supply of guns and other necessaries being always kept ready at the dockyards, which could be sent on board at an hour's notice. In order to indemnify the owners for the extra expense in the construction of the steamers on this principle, Government should allow them such a sum as would fairly and economically cover that extra expense, and in case of the public service requiring these vessels, Government to Lava the right of buying or hir ing them at its option, according to some equitable scale of valuation, to be predetermined by a clause in the Bill already alluded to. The solidity and character which vessels thus built would acquire at the expense of the public, would certainly form of themselves a good part of the recompense due to the owners. The plan I have endeavoured to explain seems to me peculiarly useful when applied to steamers, but I think it might with considerable advantage be extended to sailing vessels of a proper tonnage. The advantage of the proposed system may become apparent if we reflect a littl e upon what wou ld resu lt from its adoption. For instance, the cost to Govern ment of a steam frigue, without her guns and ammuni tion, will probably be 50,0001. to 60,000/. Now, sup pose for a moment that, in order to carry into effect the system I recommend, the public would have to give 3,0001. to 4,000/. for each vessel to the owners of such splendid steamers as the Great Western, the British Queen, the President, the United States, as well as to the Companies possessing the large and beautiful boats trading between London and Hamburg, Rot terdam, Amsterdam, and Antwerp, Liverpool and Glas gow, Liverpool and the Irish ports, &c., for each of their best vessels ; the result would be, that for a total amount equal to the cost of one single steam frigate, Government and the nation would have available in cases of war from twelve to fifteen steamers, most of which, with very few little further expense, and within a very kw days would be ready to present their broadsides to England's foes, in as efficient a manner as the greater portion of Government vessels could possibly do. On the other hand, and while we remain at peace (and God grant that it may be for long —very long indeed) the country would be spared the ruinous outlay not only of constructing such a number of vessels as my second pro position would demand ; but also that which would be wanted for keeping them in repair. The deterioration which Government vessels, even when remaining in dock, would be liable to from the oourse of dine, would also he avoided, &cause Government would pay for the merchant steamers according to their actual condition, when taken into its service. In this manner the State would convert, at a comparatively trifling expense, a grant perportion of our mercantile steamers, and even of sailing ships, into efficient vessels of war. Thus a few years' hence, whenever Ministers be called upon to give an ac count of our naval resources, they may with great truth include in their enumeration probably not less than 500 steamers, and as many sailing ships, which, although for the time being, will be engaged in carrying on the trade of the country yet could be added within a short period to those constituting the Royal Navv—the ag gregate of all presenting such an array of maritime power as would suffice to cow into fawning meanness the Russian Bear, and every other brute of the tyrant's species. While peace continued, these elements, which, by prosecuting the commerce of the empire to its utmost possible limits, would be accumulating for us those riches so indispensable to the efficient carrying on of hostilities, would, when hostilities became unavoidable, substitute for the discharge of bills of merchandise, that of the thunderbolts of Britain's artillery, and thus be converted into the, very instruments through which the overwhelming power of a " nation of shopkeepers," should be keenly appreciated by England's foes. It will probably be objected that the foregoing plan would infringe on time rights of property. I answer that whatever is indispensible to the vital interests of the whole empire is in truth calculated to protect pro perty, for property is inseparable from ,the fate of the State. At any rate, as long as the law per mitting the impressment of sailors—which de stroys every kind of ri g ht —exists ; as long as Corn laws continue in force for the benefit of the privileged few," bringing starvation to the bulk of the people, and ruin to every kind of mercantile property within the realm, the objection I have anticipated amounts to mere cant. Besides, if a private house or a favourite park should happen to lie in the line of an authorized hail ' what would follow ? Surel y the safety of the way, country is of infinitely greater moment than the con venience of travelling. I am aware, Mr. Editor, that my ideas respecting the plan I suggest, may require remodelling, so as to fit them to the object in view, but the Lords of the Admiralty, with their practical knowledge, are perfectly competent for the task. if you have no objection, I should, at ail events, like to see j this comm un i cat i on in serted in the columns of your journal, as it may bring forth the opinions of persons conversant with the sub ject, perhaps to time advantage of the public good. I remain, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant, Liverpool, March, R), 1840. PATRIOT. MR. HANCOCK'S STEAM CARRIAGE.—On Monday a trial of this machine was made on the North-road, from Finsbury-square to Barnet, for the purpose of ascer taining by actual experiment, the ratio of speed, the degree of safety, and other properties of this new mode of travelling on turnpike roads. 'f he steam apparatus is placed at the back of the carriage, which in this instance was a long open ve hicle, with seats placed across its length eapable of holding twenty-two persons, including the conductor and his as sistant. The conductor, or steersman, sits in front, and steers the carriage by a wheel, being similar to those used on board ships, and the carriage (in sea language) answers the helm with great accuracy. The conductor has also the power of turning off, or increasing the steam, so as to lessen or in.• crease the speed, by means of a long rod, at his command. At his left is another handle, by which he can give a signal to his attendant, when he wishes the break to be put on, which is done without stopping the vehicle. O n th e pre sent occasion, the trip from Finsbury-square to Barnet (12 miles) was made in little more than an hour, including ten minutes stoppage at the Baldfaced Stag, Finchley. The return to town was completed in five minutes' less time, with similar stoppages on the road ; the usual rate of going up hill was from eight to nine miles per hour ; on the dead level, 14 to 15 miles, and down hill, as much more as the conductor considered safe, the mean or average being 14 miles per hour on the whole route. This machine is only intended for those passengers, and their luggage, who prefer travelling on the turnpike-roads. There appears to be little or no danger from any accident happening to the boiler, and the motion is quite free from jolting, and there is no annoyance from smoke or ashes. It, however, alarms horses not accustomed to its noise, and it is requisite to be vigilant on its approach, to keep them well in hand until it passed. here were many scientific gen tlemen present on the occasion. The word " tee total" originated with a Lanca shire working man, who being unused to . public spe a ki ng, and wishing to pronounce the word " total" in u connex n with " abstinence from intoxicating liquors hesitated, and pro• nounced the first letter by itself, and the word after it, ImM / i,. together t-total.

We wish to let him know that many such a navy as my second proposition would point out, and which must be as large a one, if not larger, than of those persons who attend inquests—often without any authority, assuming the names of Morning Papers—are ever we had in times of war, and thus run into an expense, which, from the use of steamers, must be mere adventurers, hiring nothing of the responsibility and without precedent ; or, consulting the incalculable evils respectability of a regular connection with any Paper, resulting from that expense (especially in the face of andtherefore careless how they degrade their own characters what I fear may be looked upon as a permanently by vulgar lampoons, or disgrace the profession by rascally decreasing revenue), and, adhering to economy, permit , misre presentations—offences which no person having a re our only means of safety, and unique source of national p u tation to support, or a regular engagement (to say no honour, to languish in an imperfect state of efficiency, not, perhaps, as compared ;vith the number of ships thing of the feelings of gentlemen), would think of lowering existing in former times of peace, but as refers to the himself by committing. Now how was it that before the actual condition of the other navies of the world. Coroner came all the accommodation was occupied by per- sons having no regular connection with any Paper ? And how was it that when a gentleman did CJITIC, bearing cre dentials as the regular Reporter of a Morning Journal— (always, we think we may say, accurate in its reports) — and offering his card—that it was intercepted—never al lowed to reach the Coroner—and after long delay decided on by a subordinate officer with the most haughty and re pulsive dignity ? This is a course which necessarily tends to encourage the adventurers, and to disgust and repel the honest fair-trader? Let but Mr. Waklcy take this simple course, and he will at once protect him self from impertinent annoyances, and false representa tions, confer a benefit on the press, by raising its character, and on the public, by preserving them from unprincipled deceptions. Let him (not leaving the matter to subordi nates, who do not understand it)—let him, as the Magistrates have decided he has the power of admitting or excluding —let him simply require from any person representing him self to be a Reporter,allowiny none such to be admitted befia e the Coroner comes, that he should send up his card, with name and address, and the name of the Journal for wham, from whom, and by whose direction, he attends, and, retaining the cards, any falsehood can be easily detected and, on the next occasion, the party refused admission. Thus, Mr. Wakley will be able to find, that when he is lampooned under the guise of reporting, or misrepresented with the pretence of truth, he can bring it clearly home to tee Editor of a Paper, and, on that, be thoroughly justi fied in excluding Ile Reporter of that Paper ; for he may rely on it, unless with the sanction of the Editor, no regular Reporter will ever so commit himself. We arc as ardently desirous as he can be, to see the infamous " stabbing in the dark" system put an end to, without crippling the efficiency of really honest reporting.] ANOTHER SLAVER CAPTURED, (From the Colonial Reformer, a Jan - mica paper of the Bth of January.) We learn that a Portuguese schooner, the Louisa, having 283 slaves on board, was lately captured by her Majesty's ship Cleoyatra, Captain Lushington, and was brought into Port Royal on Monday last. We are re joiced to find so much activity in this important branch of the service, amongst our vessels of war. 'Fhe rapid succession of the late seizures of slave ves sels will convey some idea of the enormous extent to which the infernal -traffic has been carried, for it is pro- 1 bable that where one has been captured, ten would es cape ; but we may reasonably hope that the frequency of these seizures, and tie measures which are being taken by the British Government, will at length put some check to the horrid traffic. But we think that by far the most efficacious remedy for the evil would be, by stringing up by the neck, a few dozens of the depraved mis creants who arc found engaging in the trade ; and if a few of the atrocious villains who disgrace the name of merchants in the Havanna and St. Jago de Cuba, could be included in the number of pendants from the yard arms of our men of war, it might be attended with the same measure of success as resulted from a similar pro cess whe❑ adopted to put down the nest of pirates that infested the Gulf of Mexico some 12 or 14 years ago. We regret to learn that the small pox has broken out amongst the poor creatures on board the Louisa, who have been just snatched from the jaws of slavery, and it is supposed that they will be taken round to Navy Island, and there landed to undergo quarantine in the same way that was done with the last infected cargo. We learn that a proposition is being submitted to the Governor for having them located on one of the Keys in the neighbourhood of Port-royal. If a suitable place can be found for such purpose, it certainly would be far preferable. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. The Derby horses most in request yesterday were Confede rate, the Angelica colt, Launcelot, Warden, and lioldiara. The first of this lot stood in a doubtful po,ition during the greater part of the afternoon, many parties, as late as six o'clock, having imagined that the gray, who had a considerable number of friends in the room, had the call ; the Confederate, how ever, Caine out at the last moment, and gave him precedence by closing with offers of 12} to 1. Theon stuck at 14 to 1, which was taken to a small amount, and afterwards offered. Gambia opened at 18 to 1, and was backed at 6 to 5 against Launcelot. Shortly after thg same odds were laid on the lat ter, and 20 to 1 taken about him to a large amount ; the bet ters having shut up at this figure, IS to 1 was taken to 501. a few minutes before the room was closed. Warden was in gene ral demand, first at 25 to 1, taken eagerly, and finally at 22 to I ; this must also be received as the highest odds offered against 13okhara. Black Bess was as little in favour as Gambia, the biddings against her having advanced from 25 to 30 to I. Ja nus was brought into more prominent notice; 50 to 1 was taken three or four times, and in one instance 40 to 1 ; a few few scores and tens were also laid out on Muley Ishmael at an improved price.

PRICE sd. FINE ARTS. LITHOGRAPHIC VIEWS OF MILITARY OPERATIONS IN CANADA. Flint, London, 1840. These views, which are coloured lithographs, furnish us with a very good idea of the military operations which r.•ere carried on during the late Canadian insurrection, under bi 3 Excellency, Sir John Colborne. They arc seven in number, and are all from sketches taken on the spot by Lord Charles Beauclerk. Among them Is a re presentation of Colonel \Vethcrall's Btvouack at St. Hilaire de Rouvitle, which is full of striking picturesque effects. In the foreground we see groupes of soldiers lying in the cold opal air, round their blazing watch fires, some smoking, others casting huge logs on the flames, and others disposing themselves for a few hours' hurried repose, while all seem endeavouring to make themselves as comfortable as circumstances will permit. Their muskets are piled up in a triangular form beside them, so that they may be ready for action at the first summons, and they all wear the aspect of veterans inured to camps and the privations attendant on war. In the back-ground appears a village towards which troops arc marching, accompanied. by their am munition and waggon trains; and on either side this village is a dark grove of firs. The scene is a truly im pressive one, and has a bleak wintry look about it that makes one draw instinctively closer to one's social fire side. The remaining plates are executed with equal force and truth of effect ; and the historical and des criptive notes which accompany them are just sufficiently minute to interest, without burdening the reader's at.' tention. In detailing the particulars of the capture of the Church of St. Eustache, which was taken after a sharp struggle, from the Canadian insurgents, the author introduces this striking sketch ; " In the centre of the church a large fire blazed, where groupes of soldiers were regaling themselves ; along the gloomy aisles a single candle cast its dim light ; by the altar lay stretched the dead bodies of soldiers; in the estry-room the prisoners were lodged, most of whom, assumed a kneeling posture, engaged apparently in solemn and silent prayer. The following day the dead of our own party, as well as those of the insurgents, were buried; and while preparing fur the ;nterment, a most repulsive sight presented itself—a drove of pigs devouring the dead bodies ! A scene so painful, that to prevent its continu ance, the voracious animals were immediately shot by a party of soldiers ordered out on purpose." CONSISTORIAL COURT, NOR- WICH. On Friday last this Court held a sitting, when Mr. Bar ker put in an allegation in the case promoted against him by the Churchwardens of St. Andrew's, Norwich. The case of the Bungay St. Mary Church-rates was then called 011, and the defendant, Mr. Charles Childs, stated that be should postpone putting in his answer till the next Court, as he had an application to make for which he was not aware that he could adduce any prece udent, but which he trusted the circumstances of the case would be found to justify. He had to beg that the Judge would himself forthwith minutely examine the c,riginal rate which was deposited in the registry, and record, for his own use hereafter, whatever might upon the face of it appear to him remarkable. The Judge, CHARLES EVANS, Esq., replied by pointing out the regular course in which the facts would hereafter come before the Court, stating, that although the suit might be expedited to accomplish this as early as possible, he did not think in the present stage he could have any cognizance of the facts to be alleged. Mr. C. Childs said that ha was aware of the usual course pursued, but his application was founded on a point of a peculiar nature. He should be compelled hereafter to produce evidence of facts which might be highly incul patory of individuals, and he was therefore desirous at present, and until the evidence was complete, to express himself so as to throw out no imputation. He would only say, that a present examination of the Late would fur nish to the Judek a part of the evidence by which the facts in question would be established ; but it was needful to make such examination at once, because this part of the evidence was less distinct than at the last Court; and although very clear at present, was every week becoming fainter and more faint. After a short consideration, the Judge said he under stood the purport of Mr. Childs' application, and would certainly accede to it, and he appointed Mr. Childs and the adverse Proctor to attend him during his examination of the rate. Immediately after the Court rose. The next Court will be April 13. We understand that the application had reference to certain interpolations in the rate. If the imputation should turn out to be correct, those engaged in it will wish they had had nothing to do with it. PRIVATE TUTOR.

We see by a paper circulated yesterday from the House of Commons that his Majesty the King of Hanover has had more of the good things of this country than the public were generally aware of. Beyond his annuity, apart ments in St. James's Palace, and houses and gardens at Kew, he has held about 500 acres of land, which, we understand, have been let to a considerable profit, and which arc now, it seems, since the public attention has been drawn to these matters, somewhat tardily to be resumed by the Crown. We hope, however, that some of the Honourable Members who may take an interest in the discussion of Mr. Hume's motion for the resumption of the annuity, will inquire of the friends of his said Majesty whether a story in circula tion with respect to the apartments now vacant in St. James's Palace is correct. It is said that hcr Ma jesty was desirous to obtain these apartments for the Duchess of Kent, to whom they would have afforded a very convenient residence, in the immediate neighbour hood of Buckingham.house and of the Court ; and that his Majesty of Hanover, being appealed to on the sub ject, gave for answer that they might break open the door, and provide a new lock to the apartments, but that he would never voluntarily resign the key to open them for such a purpose. It seems that her Majesty has been, in consequence, obliged to hire a house for her illustrious mother in Bel grave-square, at an expense of 2,0001. a year, to be added to the many other deductions from her privy purse, occa sioned, as we hate formerly stated, by the payment of her father's debts and the assumption of charities and family pensions on behalf of the late King. We think it would be right that some honourable member should follow up Mr. Hume's motion, by moving an address tq pray that the Cornmissiooers of Woods and Forests should resume the apartments in St. James's Palace, as well as the land at Kew. This dog and manger conduct, imputed by public ru mour to the King of Hanover—we know not how justly, but if it be unjust, let it be distinctly denied—will scarcely tend to propitiate the public opinion in favour of the con tinuance of his allowance from the State.

The St. Louis Exchange, with its magnifi zen t d ome , eati $1,700,000, is, at the hour we write, one mass of rains. The fire broke out this morning at half-past four in the fifth story, from the sparks escaping through a cracked chimney. The keeper of the hotel had been shown this flaw in the chimney, it is said, some days ego. At'five o'clock it was seen that the fire was raging between the slating and the plastering, and that it could not be arroeted. The° alarm was now general, and the lodgers many of them barely awed with their: clothes, so rapt was the progress of the flames. About six, the great ball-room fell in with a tremendous crash. At eight o'clock the lofty dome of the rotunda was on fire, the flames rising to an immense height. _ _ _ While we write, the buildings on the opposite side of St. Louis-street, fronting the Exchange, are begi?aing to burn. Where the flames will be arrested it is hard to say. The whole cost of the Exchange was $1,700,001), and it is under mortgage for $1,400,000. The Improvement Bank, to which the building belonged, has in circulation some $900,000 in bills, and saarcvly any specie on hand. The Oilcans Insurance Company of this city, and the Pheenix, of London, have small risks. There may be others, but we cannot stop to ascertain. The loss of this building will prove disastrous in blue ex treme to the first municipality. The Rotunda was the most magnificent structure of the kind in the Union. FLORIDA ST. A t , StIS TINE, FEB.

The assizes commenced here this mornng. Richard Wright, aged 36, was indicted for shooting at Harriet Wright, his wife, with intent to murder her or do her grievous bodily harm. It appeared that the prisoner, having had some alb at a neighbouring house, was upbraided by his wife on his re turn home with neglect of her and his children. Some angry words ensued, upon which the prisoner took down his gun and threatened to shoot her. She attempted to leave the house, upon which the prisoner discharged the gun at her. The ball passed obliquely through her clothes, in front of her stomach, breaking the wood of her stays, a splinter of which inflicted a slight wound ea heir person. The prisoner said his wife had irritated him by threaten ing to go and lodge an information against the faierds from whom he had got the ale. He expressed regret at what had occurred, and begged for mercy. The Jnry returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his good character. Lord DENMAN sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years ; and at certain periods during that time to be kept in solitary confinement. FOWILES V. CAIMINGTON. This was an action on the case for an alleged nuisance. Mr. Sergeant Goulburn and Mr. Meller were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Balguy and Mr. Humfrey for th• defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff went to live in his present house about 13 years ago, since which period both dwell ing -houses and manufactories have greatly increased in that neighbourhood. The defendant erected a mainfac tory for making bobbins, worked by a steam-engine, so near the plaintiff's house, that the steam and amoki damaged his furniture and his garden, and the noise disturbed the plaintiff and his family, aid prevented them from sleeping at night. It was urged on the part of the defendant that it was unreasonable to ebjcct, in such a manufacturing town as this, to the erec tion of steam-engines in the neighbourhood of this par ticular house, while they were scattered all over the town, and to which the town owed its prosperity ; and there were even near to the plaintiff's house several other steam- c himneys, against which r dc t fo nor the complaint The Jury returned a plaintiff.v erdict warn made. - - NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LAxeArriza, Mere 21.

The calendar contains a list of eighteen prisoners for trial, but the offences are generally of a minor e , .:pa c t er , Henry Tnitlaher was indicted for killing and slaying William Dean, at Clayton-le-Moors, on the lit dm of March last • It appeared that the deceased was an old man, who LAI arrived at the age of 92 years, and was father of the 'ari -1 soner's wife, and lived with them. On the day named in the indictment the prisoner had some little dispute with his wife, and having one of his clogs in his hand, thuew tt at her. Unfortunately the iron rim of the clog struck tire deceased on the forehead, and inflicted so serious an injury that after lingering for a few days elle old man died. It did not appear that there was any intention on the part of the prisoner to injure the old man, and acts of kindures towards him were shown. The parish allowed him is. 81. per week, and the prisoner made up the rest of the old man's livelihood by keeping him. The moment the deed was done he expressed groat sorrow, and fetched a surgeqp. Mr. WILKINS addressed the Jury, and the case being summed up, they returned a verdict of Guilty.
