The principal object of the East India Cotton Company will be the supply of the English market with a cheaper and supe rior Cotton of Incian growth. The overwhelming importance of this question, in relation to the manufacturer and the shipowner, was strikingly brought before the Directors of the East India Company by a deputation from the Manchester Chamber of Commerce on the presenta tion of a memorial, which stated " That the quantity of cotton imported into Great Britain in the first 11 months of the year 1838 amounted to 1,374,316 bales, of the value of 14,000,0001. sterling, in its unmanufactured state, of which only 96,110 bales were from the East Indies, of the value of about 600,0001. or only 5 per cent. of the whole value of cotton imported, about 90 per cent. of our supply being drawn from foreign sources. That the value of the above quantity of cotton in its manufac tured state was 40,000,0001. sterling per annum, giving freight to 300,000 tons of shipping, and employment to upwards of 2,000,000 of persons," and concluded by pointing to India as an available, and at the same time, a more desirable source of supply. 1 hat a large profit is to be derived by improving the culture of cotton in India, and preparing it for the English market, has been placed beyond a doubt by the successful results o ti x periments recently made ; the difference in quantity alone, superior quality between the indigenous cotton raised withou care, and such as is well cultivated, being in the same field, as five to one in favour of improved culture. It was evidently a conviction of the great interests at stake, which induced the East India Company (31though rohibitel themselves by the terms of their charter from trading of any kind) to procure from the United States within the last twelve months, at their own cost, through the express mission of Cap tain Bayles. a body of experienced cotton planters, who are How on their way to India. A Deputation of the East India Cotton Company have had interviews of a highly encouraging nature with the late Chair man and the Deputy Chairman of the East India Company, the President of the Board of Control, the Board of Trade, and the several parties in London, at Manchester, Liverpool, Glas gow, Newcastle, and Bristol, interested in this most importan object, all of whom agree in the urgent necessity that a Com pany should be formed for the purpose of carrying out this ob ject ; the establishment of such a Company being, in thel judgment., calculated to ensure ample returns to parties em barking capital, a relief from foreign dependence, and a wide channel of profit and employment to British shipping.

Yesterday the revision of the lists of voters for the Borough of Marylebone was resumed before Mr. Falconer, at the Vestry Rooms of the Parish of St. Pancras, in Gordon-square, to which place the Court had been adjourned from the Court-house, Marylebone. In the parish of St. Pancras the Registration pos sessed in a considerable degree greater interest than that of the adjoining parishes, and during the proceedings the Court was much crowded. Messrs. Ivimey and Allen on the part of the " Borough of Marylebone Re form and Registration As:ociation," again appeared as the advocates of the Liberal cause, and Messrs. Ernest, Greenwood, and Rook for the Conservatives. Mr. Edwin Ward Scadding, the well known Tory agent for the borough, who had been struck off the Register by the Overseers on account of his refusal to pay his poor-rates, upon the alleged ground of their illegality, claimed again to be admitted in respect of his house, No. 4, Gordon-street. Mr. Ernest said he appeared for the purpose of sup porting the claim of Mr. Scadding, and in the first place he had submit that there was really no rate existing in the parish of St. Pancras, inasmuch as the rate of August 1839 had been made in defiance of the law. The objection to the rate teas that it was not made by proper and qualified parsons as vestrymen, and that it was not signed by a majority of persons legally autho rised. In the first place he would show the constitution of the Vestrymen in that parish and their authority over the making of rates. By the Ist and 2d of William IV., chap. O. the Vestry was composed of 120 persons, a third to go out by rotation, and an election of a similar number to supply their places annually. By the 14th section of the Act the Churchwardens were compelled to call a meeting prior to the day of election, at which they presided, for the purpose of nominating inspectors of Votes, four to be appointed .by themselves, and four by the meeting. At the meeting held for this purpose in May, 1839, on the nomination of the Four Inspectors by the meeting, on that occasion a show of bands was taken, but a division was refused by the Church wardens, to the party who demanded it, and under protest they proceeded to the election, which was not a valid one, and which had been dee:ared by the Court of Queen's Bench not to be so. He therefore submit ted that a rate made by such Vestrymen, so returned, was not valid, and that it went for nothing more than mere waste paper. Mr. Ivimey resisted the claim, and submtted that it was not the province of the Barrister to inquire into a question, which in reality was still pending, and which would have to be argued before the Court of Queen's Bench. The only question he apprehended the Court could take cognizance of was, whether the rates had been paid or not. Mr. FALCONER said he did not think the question raised was one which came within his province ; he would, however, like to see the face of the disputed rate. Mr. M'Gahcy, the vestry.clerk, produced the rate, and said it was good and formal on the face of it, hav ing been signed by ten Vestrymen on the 14th of Sep tember, 1839, and confirmed subsequently by Arthur Smith and Robert M' William, Esqs., Justices of the Peace, resident in the district. Mr. FALCONER said that the face of the rate show ing its confirmation . by the Magistrates, certainly gave prima facie evidence of its being a legal one. With re gard to the position assumed by Mr. Ernest as to the power of the disputed Vestrymen, the proceedings in the Dublin Committee relative to the Paving Commis sioners was distinctly against him, as also by the 47th of George 111., chap. 59. Mr. Ernest said he would viaive that point, and con fine himself to the Act the 2d William IV., chap. 90, and the 4th section of the Local Act, both of which distinctly set forth that no rate should be good and valid unless made by the majority. Although seven persons were sufficient to make . a rate , still it was required that that seven be the majority. He would call for the minute of Vestry of the date the rate was made, and it would be found, that although thirty-eight Vestrymen were present, but ten had signed it, which was not a majority. Mr. Ivimey said Mr. Ernest had completely cut his own throat.—( Laughter.) In the first place, he ob jected to the rate upon the ground that it was made by Vestrymen not legally elected ; and secondly, that the said " illegal" 'Vestrymen had not signed it, being the majority. — Mr. FALCONEIt said it was clearly his opinion that he had not the power to try the question raised, al though it appeared a very proper one for another place. The rate had all the appearance of being formal, and he bad no prima facie evidence to prove it otherwise, nor had be any power to call witnesses to do so. Had the rate not borne upon the lace of it the signatures of the Magistrate he should have at once decided that there was no rate, but on the contrary he had no hesitation in saying it was good. The power of his Court was defi cient in trying a question like the present. and the poor rates not having been paid he must disallow the claim. Christopher Ripley was objected to by the Conserve tives; upon the ground that he was not the occupier of a houso No. 8, Chapel-street, Tottenham-court-road. Mr. Ripley said, his mother, who is 80 years of age, assigned the lease of the house and business to him two years since, and that he had been the occupier of it from the hour of his birth. Mr. Henry Ernest, who was the objector in the case, said, on being sworn, that he was clerk to Mr. Seed ding, who was the receiver of the rents of the estate on which the house in question stood. The lease was in the name of Lucy Ripley, and no assignment whatever could take place without licence from the estate, which had not been given. In answer to Mr. FALcoNur., Mr. Ripley positively swore that the house was assigned to him, and that he considered himself entitled to vote for it. . Mr. Ernest—He never shall vote for it while the estate have the power of preventing him. Mr. Allen—You are not Returning Officer.— (Laughter.) Mr. Ivimey apprehended that it was not the pro vince of the barrister to try the question of whether it was requisite to have a license from the estate for the assignments or not, and he hoped he would not compel Mr. Ripley to produce it after the avowed throat that advantage would be taken of it. Mr. Ernest said he had only made the objection from pure principles of justice.—(oh, and laughter.) Mr. Allen—Who ever would have given you credit for such a crime ?—(Loud laughter.) Mr. FALCONER said the witness having positively sworn to the assignment being made to him, he should disallow the objection. Name retained on the register. Several other cases were . then gone into, in which the Reformers were very successful, but it is to be re gretted that the efforts of the Reform agents, Messrs. Ivimey and Allen, were greatly retarded by the inter ference of several persons who are well known for their extreme ultra opinions, and also by such conduct, only contributed to the success of the Tory party. PADDINGTON. Mr. FALCONER then proceeded to give judgment in the cases of Messrs. Godwin, Smith, Tart, and others which were referred to in this Journal of yesterday, and which is of paramount importance, inasmuch as it may probably affect the right of nearly one thousand persons . to be placed upon the register at the registra- tion for 1841. The Learned Barrister said that the questions raised in this case rose out of the 3d section of the Reform Act, which enables the occupiers of houses, the land lords of which are liable for the payment of the rates for the relief of the poor, to have themselves personally rated, incidentally the matters in dispute had frequently been before him, but not in the distinct form in which they were now presented. The 30th section appears to have created much difficulty, and parish officers did not appear to understand the course that they ought to pursue when such claims as those to which it refers are made. At least, in the parish of Paddington, the Overseers had misunderstood the course that they ought to have followed, and in some considerable parishes in the Tower Hamlets the same misunderstanding existed. It was rather de sirable that he should enter fully into the particulars of this case. The facts wore these. Mr. Green, the landlord of several houses in Cuthbert -street, Hall Park, entered into a composition with the parish of Paddington for the payment of the rates of these houses. His name was consequently entered upon the rate-book, as rated in respect of all of them, at a less sum than that at which they would have been charged if separately rated. When he let the houses he in formed the tenants that he would qualify them to he put upon the Register. In performance of this promise he attended on the parish officer with one of his tenants of the name of Pozard, and directed, with the assent of Fozard, that Fozard's name, and that of other tenants, should be inserted in the rate-book. The parish officer states that the application was merely to insert the names of the tenants, and to couple their names with that of the landlord ; that lie did not consider that a claim to be sated was made, and that the land lord gave no direction that an alteration should be made in the rating. He therefore kept the name of Green, as landlord, on the rate ; the amount of rate charged on a composition of all the houses remained unchanged, and the names of the tenants of each of the houses were entered after that of the landlord, and on the sam e line the descriptian of each house occupied by them. Tkie rates were alway s d e manded of and paid by Green. In one respect the statement of Green does not agree with that of the parish officer. He differs in this, that the parish officer says that Greco directed that the PRICE sd. rating should not be altered. This Green does not admit He however made no application, that his tenants should be separately rated, so as to disturb the entry in the rate of the amount of the composition, and the tenants gave him no authority to have it altered. He says be was willing to take upon himself all the conse quences of his application, and that if the rating had been increased he should have been charged himself with the increase. He told his tenants when they entered that he would qualify them all, and he consid ered himself bound to pay the rates. He is not posi tive if Smith or Tart directed him to make for them a claim to be rated. From this state of facts the dis puted matter might be omitted from consideration, though the effect of Green's evidence really es tablished the evidence of the parish officer. The questions then are, whether an authority was given by the tenants to the landlord to claim that they should be rated, and whether they are rated in conformity with the provisions of the statute. The latter question he would take first. The 30th section provided that when the occupier of a house, &c., should claim to be rated, the Overseers of the parish in which such premises are situated are thereby required " to put the name of such occupier on the rate for the time being." This, it is said, h.xs been done in this case, and that no alteration in the rate is directed by the statute to be made in the rating of the landlord. It appeared to him (Mr. Falconer) that the 30th section must be taken in connection with the 27th section. The putting the name upon the rate as directed by the 30th section is in order that the party shall fulfil the condition of the 27th section, by being himself rated in respect of all rates made on the premises occupied by him. According to the proposed construction of the 31st section, the party claiming to have his name on the rate is not to be separately rated, Ido nut think that the section admits of such an interpretation, - nor see any good reason by which it may be supported. Why should the tenant of a house for which the landlord is liable to pay the rates be placed in a more advantageous posi tion than the poorer class of householders, who are personally liable to pay them Is their political inde pendence likely to be aided by such means ? The rent for the poorer class of houses is generally as low as will afford the smallest amount of profit on the capi tal invested, and the smaller the amount of rates paid for their occupation of such houses, one of the veins: of 10/., rated separately, at its full value, is a greater charge upon a tenant than a house of the value of 101., rated under a composition rate. Is there any provision in the Act to put these two classes of tenants upon the same footing ? Is not the power to claim to be rated, given in order that the tenant of a compounded house, may, as far as practi cable, separate himself from a dependence on his land lord. Is it not in order that he himself may pay the rate in respect of his own tenement without being sub ject to a caprice which might delay the payment, until the time of payment shall have passed, within which it should have been made, in order that he shall appear on the register ? If so, and he claims to be separately rated, what is the effect? Is it not that he shall be rated to the full amount of the rate that the house he occupies, if separately rated, would be liable to be charged ? A composition for rates for several houses means a payment in respect of all, less in amount than would be payable for the aggregate of all of them if separately rated. But what title has the tenant of one house to have his own rating reduced in respect of the payment of the rates of other houses in which he has no interest ? When he is rated separately, he must be rated to the full amount to which the value of his house extends. This it is certainly the duty of parish officers to do, when a claim to be rated is made under the 30th section of the Reform Act. It is true that compositions with the landlord under many local Acts are imperative, and are for the benefit of the parishes in which the tenements are situated. But the Reform Act protects this interest of the parish in composi tions, by reviving the liability of the compounding land lord, when the tenant of a house that has been included in a composition, fails to pay the amount of his separate rating occasioned by his claim to be per sonally rated. No injury can therefore result to a pa rish by disturbing a compounded rating in order to make this sepat ate rating. In the case under consi deration the parish officers have not adopted a proper course, and have not properly rated Godwin. Any mistake, however, they may have committed in this re spect, will not affect his title to be registered, if he claimed to be rated, or gave his landlord, Green, suffi cient authority for this purpose. New Green never intended to discharge himself from his own personal re sponsibility for the rates. He says that he was really to take upon himself all the consequences of his ap plication to the parish officers—that he was willing to charge himself with any increase in the amount of the rating—but he did not direct that his tenant should be made personally liable to pay the rates. The authority given by the tenants does not ap pear to have gone further than to allow Green to do what he should think sufficient to gain for them the franchise. What he thought necessary to be done they would sanction. They do not appear to have been willing to incur any personal responsibility. Green plainly considered that his contract . prevented his directing that such a responsibility should be imposed upon them. I therefore do not think that there was a sufficient authority to rate them. As regards Tart and Smith, the landlord is uncertain what passed respecting the rating, but it does not altogether dispose of the case. The names of the tenants are in the rate-book. In what way is the entry made ? Green's name is entered for the compounded rate, and is the party charged with it. The parish officer states that he did not insert the other names with a view to rate them, but they are not rated, and their names merely show which of them occupy the tenements opposite their names. They certainly are not separately rated so as to be charged independently of the landlord, and the facts stated do not throw the slightest doubt upon the ex ' planation given of the entry of their names. I shall, therefore, remove from the Register the names of God win, Tart, and Smith. The name of Fozard, I have already decided shall be retained. He is not correctly rated, - but he personally applied to have his name put upon the rate, and the effect of such an application en titles him to have his name continued upon the Regis ter, though the parish officers were not aware of what it was their duty to do when his claim was made. The Court rose at 4 o'clock, and stands adjourned until this day. DREADFUL MURDER at DUNDEE. Betwixt Saturday night and Sunday morning, an awful murder was committed by a young man residing in the Hilltown, under circumstances of the most pain ful character—his mother being the victim. The fatal deed has created the greatest sensation in the town ; and the inquiries we have made enable us to state the facts as follows :—lt appears that John Wilson, starcher, who lives with his mother at Hilltown, returned home at a late hour on Saturday night, and having given a large portion of his wages to his parent, left the house. He went to the flat above, which is occupied by an old woman with whom he is on improper terms of intimacy. His mother suspecting where he bad gone, followed him some time afterwards ; and, having found him in company of Elizabeth Strachan, (the person re ferred to), ordered him to go away. The deceased had a lamp in her hand, and her son went down stairs along with her. On the stairs, however, a dispute arose, and in the heat of passion the deceased was struck several severe blows by her son. She sank down in a state of insensibility on the lower step of the stair, having a wound in her head towards the left temple, and a contusion on one of her eyes. The alarm having been given, she was carried into the house by the neighbours, and died in two hours afterwards. The young man at first eluded the police ; but, hearing that his mother was dead , he im mediatel y delivered him self into the hands of the officers, who were in active pur suit. Mrs. Wilson was a woman of the most temperate habits, but she has been separated from her husband for several years. Her unfortuna te son had been invariably kind and attentive to her, and this renders the murder more deplorable. On Monday Wilson was brought to the police bar to go throug h the usual form of remitting the case to the Procurator-Fiscal for prosecution. The pri soner appeared in a b utte of the greatest dejection, and uttered a few words , to the effect that ne was entirely ignorant of the comm ittal of the crime at the moment at which it must have happened. Dr. Webster was then called. He stated that he had eitatnined and opened the body of the deceased. eccased. There was an i n j ur y if on the right brow , as inflicted with some sh ar p in strument. Internally he found a large quantity of clotted blood covering the whole surface of the brain, and extending downwar ds to the base. Th a t was occa sioned by the external i njury, and death had ensued in consequence. Dr. Cock had also examined the body of the deceased, and a g reed in ev ery particular with Dr. Webster. Tne case was remitted to the Procurator, and the unfortunate man was removed from the bar.— Dundee Courier. EVENING EDITION. HAMMERSLE Y'S BANK. (CIIiCULAR.) " September 25, 1840.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.—At two o'clock on Thursday afternoon the whole of the Royal Horse and Foot Ar tillery at present in the garrison were assembled on the parade in front of the barracks, under the command of Colonel Cleveland, to witness the presentation of medals to Sergeant Collarmaker J. Beaumont, Royal Horse Artillery ; Company Sergeants—John Ferguson, sth battalion ; William Anderson, .sth battalion ; James Hickson, 3d battalion ; and John Mathison, .sth bat talion ; Gunner Benjamin Sellers, Royal Horse Artil lery ; and Gunner and Driver James Greenfield, .sth battalion—for long service and good conduct. The whole of the corps having been formed into a square, the Commandant, S:r Hew Dalrymple Ross, K.C.8., and Deputy Adjutant-General, called the above-named men forward, and complimented them upon their having gained the highest honour a soldier could look for—the approbation of his Sovereign and his officers. Brigade-Major Cuppage then read the services of each man which had entitled him to this distinction,and the gallant Commandant, in handing the medals to them, observed in the most feeling manner, " I am an old sol dier myself, but this is the most pleasing moment of my life when I have the gratification of rewarding those who have faithfully performed the duties of theie pro fession, and acted throughout their long services as brave and gallant soldiers ;" and he would call upon all present to endeavcur to emulate those worthy men, who would now be able to show and refer with pleasure to the testimony of her Majesty and their officers' appro bation of their valuable services rind good conduct. He was sorry to have on this occasion cause to point out the irregularities which bad been committed by some of the old soldiers who had lately joined the garri son from India, which would preclude them from the medal and gratuity. To each individual present to whom medals were awarded, the Commandant addressed some kind words, but when he delivered the medal to Sergeant Mathison, of the sth battalion, his approbation was the highest that could be conferred. This brave and gallant soldier having served during the whole of the Penin sular war, and been present at most of the general en gagements in those glorious campaigns, he had subse•- quently served eight years in America. In addition to the silver medal, containing round the edge the rank and name of the party to whom it is presented, and on one side the Queen's arms, surrounded by trophies of war, and on the obverse, " Reward for long service and good conduct," a gratuity of 13/. is given to each ser geant, 71. to each corporal or bombardier, and 5!. to each gunner or driver, and the same is given annually to one sergeant, one corporal or bombardier, and one gunner and driver, in every battalion or corps of 700 rank and file and upwards. As a further mark of ap probation, it is also enjoined that notification be made ox the church door of the parish to which the soldier belongs, as a testimonial to his friends and relations of his character and bravery, At the conclusion of the parade the following was issued and inserted in the order-books of every troop and battalion : " General Order, September the 24th, 1840.—The undermentioned non-commissioned officers and men hav ing been recommended for medals and gratuities, agree ab:y to the 49th article of the rules and regulations for pensioning soldiers of the Ordnance corps, viz.:—Staff- Sergeants, Thos.

THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE," OLIVER I CRomwßl.L."—The interest created by the appearance of this new work continues to increase. The Morning Herald observes that " the author's delineation of character is most just and accurate ; his descriptions of men are not based upon the opinions of former writers, but, deduced from their actions, are the original conclusions of his own mind. He has read much, but thought more, and, whether he be successful or not as a novelist, we feel assured that he has the means at his own command of acquiring fame as a distinguished moral and descriptive writer. Among those historical personages whom, in addition to Cromwell, he has brought on the scene, John Milton stands conspicuous ,• his portrait is painted with a most delicate as.d careful hand, so also is that of the unhappy Chaves; but his greatest exertions havelren bestowed on the character of the Protector, in which, according to our estimation, h e h as been pre-eminently successful. To analyse the respective views of the author would lead us from the object we have in view, we therefore simply commend the subject to our readers, convinced that those even who dissent from hi s opi. onl y ni o ns, will unite in admiration of his talents," PUGILISTIC CONTEST.—A pug ilisti c combat between two leading professor; of the art of self-defe nce r ' or the 59 miles distant oneys f came off last Tuesday, at Wittleberry Forest, on th e li ne of the London and Birmingham Railway , near to t h e Wolverton station, and on the borders of Lincolnshi re, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and Rutlandshire. Th e spot was chosen by Burke, common l y known a s the ii D eaf. Un," who was matched for 501 . t o meet Nick Ward, bro. ther to Radical Jem, of Liverpo ol, and was sele cted partly on g nto r f e i a t t s p m ro et x r i o m p i o t l y is t , o Lanodndp yfo a n tl facili tie c oncealments which ini andah escape f rom t anti cipate or those eh myrmidons afforded of f for th e llaw tr consider such a " set-to" a breach of the peace. There was, however, no interference on the part of the authorities, the frequent use of the knife i n various parts of England l ate l y having probably convinced them of the propriety of per mitting the cultivation of the science of self-defenec, and affording occasionally an oppcitunity of acqui ring a prac tical knowledge of its usefulness. There %as a nurnercus attendance of amateurs from London, Manchester, Liver pool, Nottingham, Birmingham, L i _e_cester, and other large towns, though the weather was very unf avourable . The match excited considerable interest, espec i ally • amongst the fancy of Liverp ool, on account of th e rela tionship of Nick Ward to one who has himself acquired no little fame, and under whose training he has been ; and through Burke being notorious as a hard fighter and a strong and ugly hitter—albeit he was beaten by Bendigo after his successful trials in Eng land and Americ a. Burke's ' age is 31; Ward's about 27. The result has shown the superiority of science over mere bodily and manual strength. The brittle lasted an hour and twenty minutes, and occupied forty-one rounds, both men being severely punished, Ward drew the first blood, and gave the first fall. The combatants were full of confidence and cautious at the commencement. Burke fought with a determina tion to win, if possible, and both displayed some of the best game ever witnessed. Ward, however, soon became the favourite, and Burke was at length obliged to acknow ledge himself beaten, his strength being completely ex hausted.—Ltverpool Mail.

F. FERGUSON CAIIIROUX, Sec. LIFE DEPARTMENT, For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spa cifie sum, without. a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calenlated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, one half the premiums may remain on interest, at five per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. For example, on the non-participating scale a man aged 30 may assure his life for 5001. by an annual payment of 91. Hs. 4d.. and if he can employ the money better in his trade one half of it may remain unpaid for five years, on his merely paying the interest till the expiration of that period. So that, for the trifling sum of five guineas per annum, a com fortable provision may be secured for a widow or a family. s. d. s. d.

N.B.—A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical officer, sit at the Company's house every Tuesday, from Twelve t• Two o'clock, to grant Assurances, but one Director is daily in attendance to render every facility to those to whom despatch may be an object.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Medea stcam frigate Commander Frederick Warden, was paid two months' wages in advance on Wednesday, and sailed on Thursday morning for Chat ham, to embark a detachment of the 33d Regiment for Gibraltar. The Vesuvius steam-frigate, Commander Henderson, will call at Chatham in a few days to embark detach ments of the Ist and 92d Regiments for the same destination. MADAME LAFFARGE.

M. Rasped, who was sent for by the Counsel for the defence, did not arrive in time, his carriage having broken down three times on the journey. He is going to publish a memorandum, and asserts that he could produce more arsenic from any piece of old furniture than was found in Laffarge's body, Madame Laffarge remained in a kind of lethargy all the night after she had been found guilty ; the follow ing morning she recovered her energy. " It is not all over between me and my enemies," she exclaimed ; " I ran yet make myself heard, and the eonsciousness of my innocence will support me. As to the verdict, it is of little importance; a Judge more powerful than mine has condemned me long since to a penalty which will embrace us all. May I only live long enough to see my innocence proclaimed." A letter from Tulle, in the Presse, says that Ma dame Laffarge signed laer appeal to the Court of Ces sation on Sunday morning. "M. Raspail," the writer adds," has been admitted to examine the arsenical spots on the porcelain saucers obtained by M. Orfila, and has declared his confident opinion that they result from the nitrate of pot ass employed by that chemist, and not from the body of M. Laffarge." - ...-* ...... • ..........., - -..- - CU It lOUS SUGARS.-Some beautiful specimens of sugars have been deposited in the Royal Adelaide Gal lery by the Directors of the British India or Anti -Slavery Sugar Company, through their Manager, Mr. Northoase.

F ALLACIES OF THE FACULTY. By Dr. DICKSON. ,‘ We canaot too highly compliment the author on'. his fear lessness and firmness of purpose ; and if the eyes of the public are not opened to the nefarious practices of the apothecaries by his exposures, verily they deserve the treatment they receive at the hands of these cold-blooded impostors. Whoever reads this volume carefully, will henceforth throw physic to the dogs. Dr. Dickson has placed it in the power of the inval:d to take care of himself.
