The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and is, therefore, calculated to afford decided relief to those who have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such persons the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of life is almost subdued ; they are wanting in that activity of mind and energy of conduct which their affairs require; and partly from conscious weakness, partly from excessive appre hensions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature grave. It is for these that Messrs. PERRY and Co., Surgeons, particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM. Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it , ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervy,.. system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and throws off viscid humours ; whatever strengthens the general habit, and brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone ; whatever is calculated to produce in a considerable degree, all or any of these effects , must be , under certain modifications and restrictions, equally adapted to every species of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm of Syriacum makes a direct attack upon the many-headed hydra in one quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly or collaterally, to almost every other; in short, the debility of nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent me dicine, for its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ; its fine, rich, stimulating balsamic stomachic qualities purification of the blood—and, above all, the complete invi gorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties become restored to their proper power and functions, and the fallen fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency, and duration, upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature decay, to sound and pristine health. As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknow ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate cough, shortness of breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wanderings of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under its immediate influence. Old coughs. asthmas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cured. Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs, will, ere long, meet the happiest change ; the chill, watery fluid will become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthy.

As some of the keepers of the Forest of St. Germain were on the look-out a few nights ago, they were fired upon by a gang of poachers, but fortunately not touched. They returned the fire, and wounded several of the depredators, though they were all able to make their retreat good for a time. Two of them have, however, been taken since, and found to have each of them received a number of small shot in various parts of their bodies, so as to make it necessary to place them in the hospital of St. Germain, where they are under safe guard. CoLcHESTER.—THE REV. W. SIBTHORPE.—The secre t xry of the Colchester Tract Society, Mr. Stokes, at a meeting of that society on the sth inst., at Colchester, alluding to the conversion of Mr. Sibthorpe, remarked that the rev. gentle man had been his colleague as joint secretary to that society for some time ; and told the meeting that he (Mr. Stokes) spoke advisedly when he called Mr. Sibthorpe an unhappy man, for he believed that he had acknowledged himself to be CHRISTMAS BEQUE —ln the parish of Great Barr, a custom was formerly prevalent for the rector, on every Christmas-day, to give to every person, great and small, of his parish, that would then come to his house, as much bread, beef, mustard, and vinegar, as they could eat, which custom is now commuted for a money payment. The rector of Aldridge now gives to every housekeeper who demands it— in Aldridge 6d., in Barr Bd., which is called custom-money. The origin is unknown.—Birmingham Advertiser. In the metropolitan parish, during the last year, there were christened, males 7,651, females 7,594; total, 15,245 : buried, males 6,542, females 6,500; total, 13,142.

TRADE OF LEEDS.—The past week's markets have been as dull as possible at both our cloth-halls, and as few goods have changed hands during the week as in any week in the year ; but, although there has been so little done, a general expectation is entertained that trade will revive early in the new year, the prevailing opinion being that goods have not seen their lowest price, and that both wool and indigo are rather looking up, whilst the stock of goods on band is con siderably less than at the same period of last year. This being the season for taking stock there is little else going for ward in the warehouses.—Leeds Mercury. MILITARY ALMANACK.—A most useful and interesting broad sheet under this title has been nroduced by Mr. C. Mitchell, marking with " white stones" the anniversaries of the most memorable events in our military history, and pre senting in pleasing form and with admirable arrangement, an immense mass of information respecting the administration of army affairs (at home, or in any portions of our extensive empire), including everything of utility connected with the managing authorities of all military establishments. colleges, hospitals, asylums, army boards, commanding officers, and staff, &c.—Times, December 28. OPPOSITION TO WORKHOUSES IN ANGLESEY.--A very nmmerous special meeting of poor law guardians, called by Lord Vivian and the Rev. 0. Gethin Williams, assembled at Llanerehymedd, on Friday the 23d ult., " to take into con sideration the expediency of building a union workhouse." The expediency of the measure was strongly urged by the noble lord, supported by Colonel Hughes, Mr. Trygarn Griffith, and Mr. Trevor, and was opposed by Mr. James Williams, Mr. Lloyd, of Llanfaetblu, and other. The re• suit was of 53 guardians present—For the erection of the workhouse, 8 ; against it, 45. Of elected guardians—For the workhouse, 3 ; against it, 43.—North Wales Chronicle. RANGER V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.-- This very important cause, upon the issue of which the fate of claims by Mr. Ranger's creditors here, for large amounts, depend, is appointed to be heard before the Lord Chancellor, on Monday, January 2d. Mr. Sergeant Wilde will lead for the assignees of Ranger, and Sir William Follett for the Railway Company. The amount at issue is stated to be nearly or quite £200,000 ; and the intricate character of the accounts, embracing the details of immense railway contracts renders it almost equal to the famous suit of Attwood v. Small, which ruined the British Iron Company.—Reading paper. Tat MORMONS.—As a number of our townsmen are taken in the snares of this delusion, we quote, for their edification, the following paragraph from one of the Ameri can papers received this week :—" These people are still busy, but the prophet, Joe Smith, is absent to some Farts unknown—probably gone on a visit to Paradise. In conse quence of the increase of his holy business, Joe has resigned the editorship of the Times and Seasons into the hands of Brother Taylor, who is said to be under the special inspira tion of Gabriel.

His unfortunate victim was a wheelwright, named William Marshall, residing at the same town. Whilst drinking at a beer-shop at the Wall-end, the deceased asked Stafford for £5 which was owing to him, when the latter snatched up a poker, and struck him a violent blow on the head, which caused the brain to protrude through the skull. Marshall lingered till Wednesday, and died shortly after undergoing the operation of trepanning. Stafford who was taken into custody at the time, has since managed to escape, and is at present at large. He has been traced very near to Stamford, and is supposed to be secreted in the town. Ile is a tall person, with dark complexion, dressed like a butcher, with crape round his hat.—Stamford Mercury. THEATRICAL AMUSEMENTS. —The following sum of money, it has been calculated, is nearly the amount spent in theatrical amusements, on Monday, the 26th of December, at the fourteen theatres that are now open in the metropolis : —Covent-garden theatre, £350; Drury-lane, £350; Hay the Royal Marylebone, xfoo ; th e S urrey, £1 40; t h e V market, £220 ; Adelphi , £ 120 ; Olympic, £80; the Princess's, £2 ic o t o or ; ia, £l2O ; Sadler's Wells, £80; the Queen's, £75 ; the Nortontalgate, £9O; the Pavilion, £75; the Garrick, £6o.—Total, £2,060.

RIOT AT WORKINGTON.-A serious riot took place here, on Monday last, in consequence of the master mariners wishing to reduce the wages of the sailors. About a fort night ago, the latter had convened a meeting, and had come to the resolution, that if any one should go on board of his vessel until they had obtained the wages they were accus tomed to have, he should be sewn up in a s h ee p s ki n , w hi c h was provided for the occasion, and carried round town as a mark of disgrace. Unluckily one of their number had disobeyed this resolution, and the punishment was carried into effect so severely that his life was despaired of. Five of the ringleaders of this affair were taken into custody, and committed to the treadmill at Carlisle ; but when they should have been taken off in the coach, the sailors rose up in arms to rescue them, smashed in the coach windows, and drove it out of the square twice. The magistrates in this trying . ‘ crisis read the Riot Act, and swore in a number of special constables and broke up the chairs and tables in the room to arm them with, and by these resolute means they finally overcame the mob, and the prisoners were taken off to Carlisle gaol.—Carlisle Patriot. Mr. Richard Cobden is, it would appear, resolved to rival the glories of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. Like the great mendi cant of the west, Mr. Cobden has organised his association," has commissioned his " pacificators," regimented his army of holy men, and laid the foundation of his rent, to be ac counted for as such things are accounted for in Ireland—that is, not at all. "Tu quoque Marcellus enis." Mr. Cobden shall be the O'Connell of the mills. The enterprise is am bitions, but not quite so hold- us it may at first sight appear. Flammock, the type of the order of agitators, was an ignorant .blockhead, as well as a poltroon ; and though men have been misled by the temporary success of demagogues to doubt that they are all alike ignorant blockheads and poltroons, the ma jority of demagogces have been such from the beginning— from Thenites to Flammock, from Flammock to —, our own day. The qualifications for the office are indeed few and vile.

THE WELSH BISHOPRICS.—The net value of the diocese of St. Asaph is £6,301 ; the net value of the diocese of Ban gor is £4,464. In the former diocese are 143 parishes, in the latter 131 parishes—making together 274 parishes, which is far below the average number of parishes in any English diocese, while in respect of population the inferiority is yet more striking. In the diocese of St. Asaph there are 52 livings under £200; in the• diocese of Bangor there are 61 livings under £2oo—of the former 38, and of the latter 26, are in the gift of respective bishops, who are in many cases the impropriators of the great tithes. In the diocese of St. Asaph the bishop is the impropriator of 13 livings, the total revenue of which is £4,688 ; and in the diocese of Bangor the bishop is the impropriator of seven livings, the total revenue of which is £1,120. From the former see, therefore, is re quired £932, and from the latter £2BO, to raise the value of these livings to £2ob each.—Globe. From many quarters the cheering intelligence reaches us that Sir Robert Peel's government has come to a resolution to take a decided step with reference to church extension during the ensuing session of parliament. It would have been next to impossible further to have postponed coming to some decision on a matter of such importance ; but how the aid will be supplied, or to what extent, are yet unknown. A. better system of leasing ecclesiastical estates would be no go vernment measure at all. The church can manage its own property, and can suggest and carry into effect all necessary improvements under this head, but the religion of this coun try, and of its government and state, is that of the Pr otestant Church of England as a branch of the one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ. Now, the best, and indeed al most the only mode by which the state can aid this national church is, first, by its protection ' • and second, by proposing from time to time such grants of public money as can with propriety be devoted to such an object in carrying out the parochial system, and in supplying means for the erection of district churches in furtherance of the plans and generous donations of church people themselves. We hope that the grant to be proposed will correspond in amount with the dignity and importance of the cause, and will be worthy of the state to give, and of the church to accept.—From the Church and Slate Gazette. A GOVERNMENT CURRENCY-ITS ADVANTAGES " But this has already been shown to be a very immaterial part of the question, which is, how to get a sound and safe uniform system of Currency for the whole kingdom." Times, City Article, Dec. gth. The advantages that would result from the adoption of this sound system of a Government, or National Currency, are many in number and incalculable in degree. Amongst them may be enumerated the following : The government's issuing its own notes to the amount of £50,000,000. in plate of paying interest upon that amount of Exchequer Bills, and other description of borrowed money, would effect an annual saving to the country of nearly £2,000,000. The revenue derivable from the two per cent. tax for advances upon real and funded securities, (all other notes being thrown out of c ir c ul ation , ) w o uld, in course of time, probably amount to £ 10,000,000 mo r e . Makin g all fair allowances for expens es and contin g encies, it ma y be fairly computed that TEN MILLIONS PER YEAR would be realized ; and this, be it observed, from a Tax VOLUNTARILY PAID BY THE POSSESSORS OF REAL AND FUNDED PRO PERTY.-With so powerful an auxiliary, which such a moving power and stimulus as this unfettering of the capital of the country,• would give to agricultural improvements, to manufactures, and to mercantile affairs, we believe that pro vision may be at once made for the repeal of £5,000,000 of taxes and restrictions upon commerce, and for the gradual and honest liquidation of the National Debt during the pre sent century. Among its effects would be these : It would both encourage arid ENABLE the less wealthy owners of the soil to cultivate their estates, and persevering manufacturers and tradesmen to make improvements in their several lines of occupation. It would originate a brisker demand for labour, and manu factures, and agricultural produce. It (there being a tax of 2 per cent.) would discourage excessive advances by private bankers to their relatives and friends, and of joint stock bankers to their directors, shareholders, and speculating asso ciates and customers. It would (by making the country less dependant upon gold) give us a ki n d of tie or security upon fo r e i g ners takin g our manufacture s in paymen t for their prod ucts. It would make almost ev er y individual (not excepting many forei g ners, it may be presumed), feel a personal and direct interest in maintaining inviolate the stability and credit of the country, holding, as th e y would, its notes - as part and parcel of their own property. It would form a broad and safe CORNER-STONE upon which to establish a FREE TRADE WITH ALL THE WORLD. —Government Currency Pamphlets. THE INCOME-TAX LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF STAMPS AND TAXES TO THE SURVEYORS Stamps and Taxes, London, Dec. 8, 1842. Sir,—The Board having reason to apprehend that some of the surveyors have misunderstood the law with reference to assessments under schedules A and B in the Property Tax Act, I am directed to inform you, that the tax is payable on the annual value of lands and tenements, and not on the amount to which such lands and tenements have been assessed to the poor, and that such annual value is the rent by the year at which the same are let at rack-rent, if the amount of such rent shall have been fixed within the period of seven years from the sth of April last; and if not so let at rack rent, then at the rack-rent at which the same are worth to be let by the year; and that it is only in those cases where the annual value cannot be otherwise ascertained (such as upon lands and tenements in the occupation of the owners, or let on beneficial leases), that the poor-rate is to be resorted to, and then only for the purpose of making the assessment on such last-mentioned properties, in a sum bearing a due pro portion (as near as the same can be computed) to the assess ment on properties let at a bona fide rack-rent; as, for example : A house or farm is let at rack-rent fqr £lOO a year, ankis assessed to the poor on three fourths of the rent, or £75 per annum. Assessment to the property tax must be on £lOO a year. Another farm in the same parish is let on a beneficial lease, or is is hand, and is as sessed to the poor at, a year £soo 0 0 Add one-third of the said assessment .... 166 13 0 Assessment to the property tax*must be on a 666 13 •4 As the public will have great cause of complaint if an as sessment has been made upon a different principle than herein set forth, I am to desire that you will take especial,care that in all such cases the same may be rectified accordingly. I take this opportunity of informing you that the Board have received directions from the Lords of the Treasury, that in all cases where the overseers of the poor have been called upon by the surveyors for the copy of the last rate made for the relief of the poor, to assist the surveyors in checking the assessments, and have actually furnished the same, all rea sonable expenses for preparing such copy shall be defrayed by this Department; and I am to desire, that if any such copy shall have been furnished to you for the purpose in question, you will forward the overseer's account for making such copy to this office, with a view to its being discharged. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES PRESSLY THE NEW TARIFF.—At the weekly meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Cheltenham Union, held on Thursday week, Mr. Pinching gave notice that on the sth January next, he should move that the salaries of all the officers of the Union be reduced, in consequence of the lessened price of provisions, and consequent lessened incomes of the farmers. The question hal also been raised at Hereford. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—The British brig Naiad, from Halifax to Demerara, was fallen in with on the 11 th of Nov. in lat. 28 degrees 10 min., long. 50 deg. 10 min., full of water, and the only survivor taken off by the Shawmut, ar rived at Boston, from Rio Janeiro. The survivor, William Fosdick, states that they left Halifax for Demerara on the 14th of September, and on the 22d , in lat. 29 i deg., were capsized in a heavy squall, under close-reefed topsails at the time. She righted next day full of water , with loss of spars and mainmast. A little flour was washed up from the hold, which they collected and dried in the sun and ate; every thing was done by Fosdick to keep up the spirits of his com panions, (seven in number,) but they all drooped and died, except one, who, with Fosdick, went into the main top in a very stormy night. It coming on to rain, Fosdick touched his companion in order to rouse him to obtain a few drops of water as it fell, but found him dead. In the morning be cut him loose, and he fell into the sea. He then remained six days before the Shawmut hove in sight, and when taken on board he was unable to speak or walk, but the medical skill of the captain saved his life, having been 49 days without food or water.

William Whitele TRIAL• ( ISS 11AMBLI THE ACTRE (From the Alabama Paper.) The trial of Charlotte Hamblin for the murder of her hus band has taken place in Mobile. Robert W. Heckle, introduced as a witness on the part of the state, said that on the night of the 25th of March, 1842, after the first act of the comedy of the t,ld Woman had been perforined at the Mobile Theatre, he was informed by a boy in attendance that the deceased, Ewing, waited him, and upon descending the stairs that led to the dressing-rooms, he met Miss Hamblin at tl - e foot of the stairs, holding in her hand a weapon of some sort ; she exclaimed, " My God! what have 1 done! why did be strike me ?" upon proceeding further, witness found deceased lying across the threshold of the dressing-room, speechless, with two wounds in his right arm ; Miss H. and deceased were reputed to be man and wife ; her dressing-room was separated from his by the whole width of the house ; witness knew of no altercation on that day, al though Ewing had left hiswife on that day, and said he would not go back, and bad beard of no previous threat by Miss H. against deceased ; but saw a note from prisoner to deceased, requesting the return of certain articles, and threatening him that he would rue or regret it if he did not return them ; witness further stated that when he first saw Miss Hamblin after the occurrence, she had in her hands what he took to be a dagger—and that in the part of a page which she performed that night a dagger was not an essential part of costume ;. witness had known deceased for two or three seasons; his health was excellent, excepting slight attacks of sore throat, &c.; his run of character required great physical exertion, and witness never observed that he suffered from these exertions ; deceased played frequently in the play and afterpiece, and always without inconvenience ; deceased oc cupied the same chamber with witness for a week after part ing with his wife; then returned for a short time to his wife, and then returned to his former lodgings, a day or two before his death ; his general health was then good, as witness had an opportunity of observing; he had palpitation about the region of the abdomen, as witness could see from frequently witnessing him with his clothes off, and appeared to have no difficulty of breathing after considerable muscular exertion, such as he often put forth ; witness states that prisoner had been in the habit of going to the dressing-room of the de ceased, but had not been there for a week or ten days pre vious to his death ' • her dressing-room was sep ara t e d f rom his by the entire width of the house, and access to his apart ment could only be had by going in a roundabout direction ; witness saw at first two wounds upon the right arm of de ceased, but, upon further examination, discovered another wound on the left side; deceased was not dead when witness first reached him, but shortly after, perhaps ten minutes, died in witness's arms; prisoner and deceased were not to gether more than ten minutes that whole evening. Cross-examined.—Witness went to hurry Ewing to his part ; did not see Miss Hamblin going to the room of the deceased. but met her on the staircase, appearing quite dis tressed, and asking forgiveness of her husband for what she had done ; no one was in the dressing-room of the deceased when witness entered Mr Jones saw Ewing the night before the play com menced : he was quite excited by liquor : he spoke of his wife, and used very abusive language towards her, some few minutes before the curtain rose : witne'ss played in the same piece that night with prisoner and deceased ; and, excepting the language previously mentioned, witnessed no ill will on the part of either towards the other, on the stage or off : he heard no threat by prisoner towards deceased, and knows nothing of their previous separation; in fact, nothing of the terms of their social intercourse : she was very secretive as to her family matters, but witness thought he could see from the manner of both that they were unfriendly : Ewing and Radcliffe used the same dressing-room, and witness was in his own chamber when he heard a voice from the room of the deceased crying out, "My God! what have I done?" About a week before the death of Ewing witness saw Miss Hamblin in his (deceased's) dressing-room, but does not know if she was i❑ the habit of visiting it. Madame Thielman was in her dressing-room, and heard loud talking, and then a scream from the direction of Ewing's Witness went to her door, and, upon looking out, saw Ewing upon his own threshold in the act of failing : few steps off she discovered Miss Hamblin holdinc , something in her hand, who exclaimed, " He struck me and called me hard names." Prisoner endeavoured several times to go to the body, but was hindered by those around. She appeared frantic and entirely beside herself, and frequently called to witness as if to her husband, " Andrew, why did you strike rue ?" She would then go to the mirror to arrange her dress, and announce her readiness to go through with her part. Prisoner wore the dress of a page, and had a dagger with a white handle in her belt when , the performance began. Dr. Levert examined the body, and at first thought that the wounds were the cause of the death. Upon opening the abdomen, be discovered much blood—but tracing the course of the knife he saw no vessels cut. On goin g f ur th er , h e found the remains of an aneurism in the abdomen sufficiently accounting for death of Ewing, witness proceeded no further in his examination. There are cases on record of the exist ence of aneurisms without the attendance of serious symp toms manifesting their being. In this instance the aneurism was very large, and*ttenuated to such a degree that witness wondered how the party lived so long—as any slight cause, such as a blow, or even a sneeze, might have caused its rup ture, and so have induced death. The most probable causes of rupture would be anger, a blow, or great muscular exertion. Aneurism is a disease of the arteries, in the pr ogress of which the inner coats being most tender, are the first destroyed, while the outer being tough, will last much.longer. Wounds of the stomach are always dangerous ; death does not usually, however, supervene immediately upon the puncture of that organ, but is the result of subsequent inflammation. In this case it is possible that Ewing might have died of the wounds alone—but not immediately—and only after inflammation had taken place. Witness had before treated a case of wounded stomach, where the injury to that organ was greater than in this instance, and the patient recovered. After finding a probable cause for the death of Ewing, witness ceased his ex amination. The knife entered the opposite side to the aneu rism, and did not reach it. It was ruptured by other agencies, and there was sufficient cause in the t deceased laboured, induced by the ',i the fit of anger into which he was s xcitement under which vor he had taken, and LiuL:enly thrown, to ac- count for his death The evidence was examined with great care, and was closed about dark ; after which the solicitor, Percy Walker, and Messrs. Chandler, Childers, and Dunn, addressed the jury. Judge Brugg then briefly and clearly summed up the points of the case, impressing the jury with the fact that the merits of the case depended entirely on Doctor Levert's testimony —which went to show that the aneurism of which it is al leged Mr. Ewing died. might have been caused by any extraordinary excitement, The jury then retired for a moment, and returned with a verdict of " not guilty." As soon as this was announced, the defendant, who was atigued by remaining in court all day, immediately fainted. THE GIPSY FESTIVAL—SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 28.—The annual festival of the Gipsies of the New Forest was held to-day on the Rev. Mr. Crabb's grounds, about a mile from Southampton. On these grounds the families and tribes of the Gipsies of the forest were invited, according to yearly custom, to partake of a sumptuous dinner, and to receive various articles of clothing, to shelter them in some measure from the inclemency of the winter season. The presents are furnished by means of subscriptions of the wealthy in all parts of the country. At two o'clock nearly 200 Gipsies, consis ting of men, women, and children, sat down to a handsome dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, and were waited on by the gentry of the neighbourhood, crowds of whom were present to witness the singular scene. The swarthy beings proved by the quantity they consumed that a sumptuous din ner was a rarity to them ; and they were so overjoyed at the sight of rich plum puddings, that they all rose, greeting them with tumultuous cheering. The Gipsy children, although many of them badly clad, some of them indeed half naked, appeared a fine healthy race. The clothing distributed amongst them consisted of blankets and fabrics fitted for un garments. The Right Hon. Sturges Bourne was present, and appeared to take the greatest interest in tile festival. INHUMAN TREATMENT OF A PAUPER SERVANT.—About eighteen months ago, an orphan girl named Hodges, at that time not eleven years old, was placed from the Monmouth Union as servant to Elizabeth Powell, the wife of a farmer near Langdogo. Almost immediately after the child had taken up her residence with her inhuman mistress, she was for the most trifling faults corrected in a severe manner ; but recently the wretch used to tie the child up with cords to a beam, and after stripping her, beat her in the most violent manner with various weapons; and when from exhaustion she was obliged to discontinue, or sickening at the sight of the blood streaming down the poor child's back, she used to wash her in salt and water ! The last punishment inflicted was on Monday, when after tying her up and stripping her as before described, she seized a bunch of holly ! and lacerated the child's back in a most shocking manner, it being one mass of scratches and bruises from the neck downwards. The mon ster not content with beating the child on the back, was equally profuse of her blows on the arms and under the chin, woich parts exhibit evident proofs of the violence used. The little girl, unable to bear such treatment longer, ran away on Monday, and found refuge in a barn ; on the following morn ing she went to Mr. Purchas, who brought her to the work house on Wednesday, where she now remains. We bear that it is the intention of the parish authorities to prosecute the wretch for her inhuman treatment of the child; and we sincerely hope this Mother Brownrigg will meet with the punishment she so justly merits.—Mon. Beacon. TUE TARTARS IN CHINA.—In a private letter from Sir. H. Pottinger, the British Plenipotentiary in China, to a gentleman in this quarter, we were peculiarly struck with his Exellency's view of the Chinese war, and his humane ex pressions of anxiety that our enemy might come to terms 'without any more bloodshed—not on account of what some call the injustice of the war, or the effeminate enemy we had to deal with, but on account of the poor Tartars, who have no alternative but death in the event of the defeat. They dare not surrender—they must die by their own hands rather than yield to an enemy ; and, should they escape into the country, they escape but from an open and generous foe to fall into the hands of one treacherous and vindictive since the Chinese are everywhere on the watch to put the defenceless Tartars to death, when they can do so with impu nity. The scene in the Tartar district of Chinhae (after the capture of the city) that presented itself to the British soldiers, Sir Henry describes as being the most revolting that the eye could witness. The mangled bodies of men, women, and children were found in every house—some with their throats cut, others crammed, head foremost, into the deep household wells that are found in all dwellings in the East. Husbands and fathers had become the executioners of the dreadful behests of a bloody superstition, or a custom equally powerful, and imbrued their hands in the blood of their families previous to their own suicide, lest they should fall into the hands of the British. How immovable must be the determination that could produce consequences so general and so, revolting ! We are happy to think that the war is now concluded—a war that fell with such singular and deadly effect on this devoted people, the bravest, as Sir Henry ob serves, of all the Asiatic nations.—lnverness Courier. DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—On Tuesday night last, John Alford, an assistant gamekeeper of Sir John Kennaway, with a young man named Edward Snell, heard the report of guns in a covert, called Larkbeare-brake, in Ottery, about half a mile from Sir John's house. Alford and his companion immediately proceeded to call Mr. Jos. Cook, the keeper, and several men whom Cook had taken care should be in readiness in case of an affray taking place. The assistants, on being called, proceeded up the turnpike road, in the direction where the report of the guns had been heard; when they reached the spot, they heard the steps of men coming down the road, upon which they turned into an adjoining field, where they remained until the poachers came up to them. C. Lear, Sir John's hind, then stepped for ward, and spoke to the poachers—they gave no answer. They were four in number (three of them by the name of Brice, and the other Woodley, all of Newtonpopleford), and ' were walking in pairs. Lear collared one of them, whereupon two guns were fired by the prisoners, and he was knocked down by one of them with the barrel of a gun, his head be ing laid open ; he was left insensible in the road, and from the severe injuries he received was unable to give evidence before the magistrates. John Hodge, one of the keeper's party, received a blow from a gun which cut off half his ear ; this blow was followed by another with a hammer, such as is used for cracking stones. Two or three other of the assist ants were laid senseless on the ground. A severe contest ensued with the remainder, when Cox and Alford came up to the assistance of the keepers, and safely secured the four prisoners ; Cook having floored the strongest of the poachers three succeesive times, on his rising to strike him. They were on the following day taken before the Rev. J. Huyshe, and committed for trial. Lear and two of the assistants are now lying in a very precarious state. One of the prisoners was severely cut on the head, and at one time serious appre , hens:ons were entertained of the nature of the injury he had . received.— Western Luminary. TIM COTTON TRADE The Cotton Brokers published on Saturday their annual statements of the import &c. of cotton during 1812. The following is the genero brokers circular : The year now terminated has been marked by a few fluc tuations, and a degree of uniformity in prices has prevailed attended so generally by monotonous depression that it is questionable whether the annual' summary which has inva riably accompanied the annexed Tables might have been dispensed with on this occasion. A departure, however, in this instance from the usual custom might be deemed unad visable ; and a brief retrospect, with some remarks upon present and future prospects, may not prove wholly unin structive. _ Commencing the year with a stock equivalent to nearly six months' consumption, and with the probability of an im port amply sufficient to meet the reduced wants of the Trade, any advance upon the rates than current could scarcely be looked for by the most sanguine, though some littleim provement in the demand for manufactured goods might reasonably have been expected. Those. however, who at this period calculated upon some partial return to commer cial prosperity were doomed to disappointment; for, gloomy and dispiriting as was the position of affairs at the conclusion of 1841, trade continued to undergo increased depression, though it was hardly thought possible that it could pass through an ordeal more severe than it had experienced in the two previous years. Through the months of January, Feb ruary, and March, the secour ts from the manufacturing districts, and the foreign intelligence, were of a most un favourable character, added to which, there was great dis tress at home from reduced wages, and a general want of employment among numerous bodies of the working classes. This combination of evils, of course, operated against the market, sensitive as it is, at all times, to the passing events of the day. During this period, although it was well known that the stocks held by the spinners were unusually limited there appeared no inducement for them to purchase beyond their immediate wants, and the average weekly quantity taken by them up to the 31st March amounted to 20,740 bales varying in no single week materially from this amount. Speculators, influenced, probably in some measure, by un successful results of their previous operations, kept quite aloof from the market, the average weekly sales for specu lation up to this period barely amounting to 2,000 bales. Owing to this long continued dulness, prices gradually gave way, a progressive decline having taken place by the end of March of id. upon the ordinary and middling. and of Id. per lb. upon the fair qualities of American, compared with the quotations of 31st December. It is a fact worthy of notice, that whilst the cotton denominated " Fair Upland" has ge nerally been looked upon as an index of the market, it has formed no such criterion during the past year • and, perhaps, no circumstance afforded a str onge r p r o o f o f the prostrate condition of the manufacturing industry of the country than the inability of the, spinners to provide themselves with the better descriptionk; No doubt, the unusually large stock of ordinary cotton held here through the greater part of the year, and the extraordinary low price to which it was at one period forced down, contributed in some measure, to this result, and a fair export demand, operating upon a limited snpply of the better kinds, doubtless had also its effect. From whatever cause such a circumstance has arisen, it must be bailed as a satisfactory indication of the mechanical skill and persevering genius of the English manufacturer, that he can adapt to a purpose, hitherto deemed impracticable, these inferior descriptions. In the month of April, public attention was directed, to the comprehensive measures brought forward by govern ment, with a view to renovate commerce, and to impart new vigour to trade, for the equal benefit of all classes of the community ; and, highly important as were the changes then proposed, they were deemed of greater value, inasmuch as they were considered to be the foundation of other improve ments in the commercial system of the country. Although no sudden revival of trade was to be expected from any le gislative enactments, yet a complete revision of the tariff, embracing a reduction of the duties upon 750 articles, in cluding most of the raw materials of manufacture ; a removal of taxation pressing unduly upon the commercial classes; an amended corn-law ; and, in lieu of prohibitory duty, a mo derate fixed rate upon most articles of food : alterations like these could not fail ultimately to produce some beneficial effect; but, at the time, they necessarily produced much langour in business, from the uncertainty existing as to the extent to which various interests might be involved. During the second quarter of the year, little variation occurred in the market. Speculators came forward more freely, particularly in the second and third week of April, when their purchases exceeded 26,000 bales. The relief afforded to the market from this cause was partial and temporary, for the trade, with few exceptions, still acted upon the principle th e y h a d adopted in the earlier part of the year, of limiting their purchases to their immediate wants, the quantity taken by them, during the eight weeks ending 20th May, being rather less than the average of the first three months. After this period, some little improvement in business became rcani feat ; the accounts from Manchester were less gloomy and desponding, a decidedly better demand for both goods and yarn had set in, which, of course, produced a corresponding effect here. The sales to the trade, which up to the 20th May amounted to the weekly average of 21,000 bales, reached in the ensuing three months, an average of 26,300 bales. But this additional demand had little influence upon prices ; the heavy stock during these months, particularly of the ordi nary qualities of American, depressed the market, and, in the middle of July, when the estimated quantity of all sorts held in this port amounted to 670,000 bales, prices of this description were at the lowest point, being -id. lower than the quotations at the end of March, and fully ld. per lb. lower than at the commencement of the year, whilst the fluctuation in the prices of fair," during nearly eleven months of the year, did not exceed Id. per lb. The approach of harvest was looked forward to by all parties with great anxiety, much of the evil of the two pre ceding years being attributed to the great deficiency in the crops ; and the winter of 1841 having been most unfavour able for sowing, the prospect up to the end of May was by no means promising ; but the propitious weather of June and July quickly dissipated all doubts. The fate of the harvest being no longer uncertain, both speculators arid the trade purchased with great avidity ; the sales during four succes sive weeks, ending 12th August, exceeded 40,000 bales per week, the trade alone taking 121,000 bales. This proved a most seasonable relief to the market, and produced an ad vance of id. per lb. in those descriptions upon which the de cline had been most severely felt. The progressive improvement in most branches of business, which was daily becoming more decided, received a sudden check in the month of August, from a remarkable outbreak in the manufacturing districts. This " turn out" was not confined to the cotton trade, but extended to nearly all classes of workpeople, through the vast regions of industry in Lan cashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, and Staffordshire. Some idea may be formed of the mischievous results to the commerce of the country, from so many thousand hands being unem ployed for more than three weeks, from the fact, that the es timate of cotton alone thrown out of consumption by this event exceeded 50,000 ba es. On the resumption of work by the operatives in September, the trade holding a larger stock than at any time previously during the year, and finding a difficulty in establishing any advance upon their production, commensurate with the advance upon the raw material; pur chased very sparingly ; the quantity taken by them during three mouths ending November 4 averaged only 15,000 bales per week. Prices consequently had a downward tendency, the decline upon common American being nearly equal to the previous advance. A temporary impulse was given at the end of September, by the destruction by fire of 42,000 bales •, but the effect was momentary, and the market soon relapsed into its former state of inactivity. No new feature occurred up to the latter end of November, when, upon the unexpected arrival of an extra overland mail from India, with news of the successes of the British forces in Northern India, and of a treaty having been agreed upon with the Emperor of China, more favourable to British commerce than could reasonably have been expected, the markets became unusually excited, and the sales of the ensuing fortnight amounted to 95,000 bales, establishing an advance of id. per lb. upon the common qualities of American and Surat. Since that time, owing to very favourable accounts of the forthcoming crop, and a sup ply of new cotton, unusually large for so early a period in the season, prices have again receded, notwithstanding the pur chases for consumption have been extensive, and trade in Manchester in a more healthy state than for some time past. On a comparison of the present quotations of American with those of the 31st December, 1841, they will be found id. per lb. lower. The deliveries for consumption during the last eight weeks from this port amount to an average of 26,630 bales per week, and the total deliveries from the ports of the United King dom will be found, as usual, in the annexed tables, which contain much useful information connected with this im portant trade. By these, it appears that the total deliveries to the trade amount to 22,920 bales per week, beingB6B bales per week more than last year. An allowance, however, must be made for the increased stock now held by the trade, which is generally estimated at 25,000 to 30,000 bales more than at this period last year. To the importers of long stapled Cotton this year has proved to be one of great disappointment, the demand having been almost uniformly languid throughout. Prices gradually declined up to the end of November, when some little im provement took place ; but the year closed with a reduction of ld. on Sea Island, and Id. to Id. per lb. on the average of Brazil and Egyptian, from the rates current December 31st, 1842. East India Cotton alone now requires to be noticed. The import into Liverpool this year has been 169,800 bales, against 162,000 in 1841, and 109,000 in 1840. The stock is 100,470 bales, against 80,300 in 1841, and 38,600 in 1840. The ex treme fluctuation in price has not exceeded .Id. per lb. at any one period, being influenced by the changes before noticed in American descriptions. The m iddli ng qualities of Surat are now ad. and the better kinds ad. per lb. lower than at the close of 1841. With regard to future prospects, it might, perhaps, be the more prudent course to offer no opinion, but leave to others to deduce from the facts herein given, from the critical events of previous years, and from their own observations the pro bable course of this nvirket during the ensuing year. But, as public attention has for some time been directed to the sen timents of a body so practically acquainted with the cotton trade as this association, some remarks of a prospective cha racter will naturally be looked for on the present occasion. It is desirable, before hazarding any opinion, to glance for a moment at the present position of Great Britain with regard to her foreign and domestic relations ; considering which are inseparable from a broad and enlightened view of this impor tant trade. No doubt, at the present time, so far from there being grounds for despondency, there is much that is cheer ing in the prospect of an extended foreign trade. The fact alone of four ports in the richest provinces of China being newly opened to British commerce and British enterprise is welcome in the extreme, though the advantages to be derived therefrom may be gradual and remote, rather than immediate. A new commercial treaty with Brazil is in contemplation, and it is probable that it will lead to important treaties for the extension of trade with the colonial possessions of other countries. The exports of Yarn to the Continent of Europe throughout this year have been npon a largely -extended scale. and are not expected to diminish, whilst from other parts of the world the accounts are such as lead to the hope that there is increased confidence generally, and that the export trade of Great Britain will now be placed upon a more satisfactory foundation, and yield a more profitable return than it has done for some years. The history of the past, however, proves that the value and extent of national exports afford but faint indications, and are no certain tests of national prosperity ; but that a healthy state of the home trade contributes in a far greater degree to invigorate commerce, imparting more con fidence and stability to the manufacturing interest. Any sud den or rapid improvement in the home -market can hardly be looked for under present circumstances; a long series of un propitious events (too fresh in the recollection of all to re quire to be particularized here) have paralyzed industry, and occasionedlenormous losses of capital and great depreciation of property. Evils and difficulties of such magnitude are not suddenly surmounted; and, although the present re duced prices of provisions must, to a certain extent, operate favourably upon some portions of the community, yet the sudden decline of 25 to 30 per cent. in the prices of all de scriptions of agricultural produce has spread dismay amongst those immediately interested, and must, for a time, create some embarrassment. Great and paramount, however, as the landed interest of this country undoubtedly is, it has learnt that the continued supremacy of England, her pre eminence in wealth, and the maintenance of her influence over the other nations of the earth depend upon the extension of her trade and commerce. It has learnt, too, to rely more upon a participation in the prosperity of these mighty in terests than upon a continuance of high legislative protection, which is too apt "to extinguish that useful zeal which gives life to industry, and produces a chilling and benumbing effect : which renders men indifferent to exertion, by the in dolent security derived from restrictive regulations." That the important changes which have taken place, and the con tinued agitation of further changes will, for a time, be se- verely felt by numerals classes, And prove an cheloct an early improvement in the home demand, there calf 'ttle doubt; but it is to be hoped that British Capital, energy, and skill, under the influence of increased compet i ltizt ill eventually prevail. Passing from these remarks to de ration of the probable supply and consumption of the ensuing year, it should be borne in mind, that minute calculations. based upon the uncertain data that can now be given, only tend to mislead; but it may fairly be assumed, from present appearances, that the consumption of 1843 will be greaser than that of 1841 or 1842 ; that it will equal, if not rather exceed, the consumption of 1840, is an event by no means improbable.- . The accounts from the United States warrant the supposition, that the forthcoming crop will be materially larger than that of either of the two last years, and will closely approximate to, if it do not fully reach, that of 1839- 1840, when it was 2,177,835 bales. Under the influence of supplies coming forward freely, at prices lower than were ever known before, being no longer factitiously propped up on the other side by a reckless system of banking and a rot ten paper currency, little advance here upon present rates can be looked for; indeed, some depression, particularly upon the lower qualities of American, under the usual accu mulation of stock during the weight of the import, may fairly be expected. To these general views it may be added, that there can belittle certainty of areturn to good trade, ex cept upon a continuance of low prices for the raw material. TO CORRESPONDENTS We have received 10s. from Mrs. Beley, 10s. from Mr. John Howard, 2s. 6d. from a Lady, 2s. 4d. from A Friend, and 2s. from K, for George Jordan and family. A Mechanic calls the attention of the directors of the Mechanics' Institution to the shameful proceedings which take place at the doors of that building when an attractive lecture is announced for delivery, or on any similar occa sion. Our correspondent states that a separate entrance for men, and those paying for the night, or throwing open the side doors, would in some measure obviate his com plaint. THE BRAZILIAN TREATY AND THE SUGAR DUTIES.—The Mercury of Friday last has a long article on these subjects and, in the course of it, makes sundry announcements as the results of Mr. Ellis's mission to the Brazilian Go vernment. Not only does our contemporary declare, with apparent truth, the feeling of that Government towards Mr. Ellis's propositions, but our Envoy is declared to have handed in " the ultimatum of his cabinet," in consequence of the opposition which his proposals met with. We are greviously misinformed (although the Mercury states that he had pursued his enquiries in the best informed quarters) if Mr. Ellis, according to the last advices,had even arrived at the Brazils. Let our contemporary look a little further into the matter, for he has been most egregiously misled. We have been induced to notice the subject rather because the article in question has been copied into one of the London Papers, and thence obtains considerable circula tion. Ebt ibtr•pooi TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1843 When Mr. Joseph Sturge, of Birmingham, with drew his annual subscription of a hundred pounds from the Anti-Corn-law League, there were some, we dare say, who imagined that the worthy quaker had, in reality, ceased to fraternise with that factious body. And when the same worthy individual threw himself into the " complete suffrage" agitation, hoisted his drab beaver as a new " cap of liberty," and called upon the unenfranchised masses to join with him in a cru sade in search of the crotchetty points of the People's Charter, disguised in milk and water, there were a few who thought him very much in earnest, and concluded that the heart and soul, and not merely the corporeal " organisation" of Joseph, were in the cause. Both these conclusions, however, are founded, we fear, upon the want of a due examination of all the circum stances of the case, and of a proper estimation of the character of the worthy in question. We ourselves most firmly believe that friend Joseph is as much a member of the League now, as at any past period of his life; and that the "complete suffrage" movement of which he is, or aspires to be, the head, is in reality a movement of the Anti-Corn-law League itself. Our reasons for arriving at this conclusion we shall briefly detail. The Chartist agitation, our readers are well aware, has long been a thorn in the side of the anti-corn-law body. From the first moment of its existence, the Chartist leaders have denounced its projects and pro fessions as selfish and hypocritical. They have proved unruly customers at its gatherings. They would not be fooled by its platform displays. They had an acute perception, gathered from experience, in their own cases, of the venal and slippery character of its oratory The mountebank was jealous of the rival mountebank; the democratic quack feared the corn-quack. They could not both juggle and cozen together. Do ow readers not remember the astute movement by which the League body attempted, under these circum stances, to get to the windward of the Chartist body ? DO they not remember a meeting of the former body, held in Manchester, at which an influential portion of its members, with no less sagacious an individual than Mr. John Brooks in their van,deciarefithistmerenee to Chartist principles—disguised under the form of demand for " complete suffrage," —and the manifesto which was subsequently issued by the new association? They cannot. The manifesto in question was duly chronicled by the press of Manchester, with the names of its president, its council and its committee, com prising amongst their number many of the most active of the Leaguers, and not a few of the League magis tracy of that town ; and, we have no doubt, a copy of it might be found at any time in the archives of the Home-office. By this demonstration of sympathy the Leaguers imagined that they had muzzled Chartism ! They were disappointed. The outbreak in the manufactur ing districts in August last—how brought about, and for what purposes, we need not here express our known opinions undeceived them. The Chartist body would not allow their new allies to convert that outbreak into an anti-corn-law agitation ; but de manded " their bond" —agitation for " complete suf. frage"—and on non-compliance, on the part of the startled millocracy, with such demand, raised once more their old banner —the Charter. They had no faith in the honesty of the League. They would not trust them with their free trade in corn first. The democratici rogue would not trust the " rogue in grain" with his portion of the spoil, but insisted upon a division upon the spot; and such a course not being convenient to the former, the Chartist, like Hari Gow, determined thenceforth to fight " for his own hand." Since that period, we have heard nothing of the leading members of the League, in connexion with the " suffrage" movement. These gentlemen . were a little afraid, perhaps, that, in their past con nexion with it, they had somewhat committed them' selves. It would not do for such prominent members of a non-political body to be seen herding with the O'Connors and Lovetts—the gaol birds of the Char ter. Friend Joseph, however, disconnected himself from the League, and clung to the new movement , He could agitate for the six points, whilst his late con' freres kept their hands clean, and their persons free from the pains of a premunire. And now mark events and coincidences ! The League is straining nerve and sinew to raise funds for its continued agitation—t° overawe the legislature —to cozen the agricultural body with lying tracts, and to betray the working closes with deceitful professions. And in what is the will quaker engaged ? In amusing the gulls and knave° of the " complete suffrage" and Chartist parties With . A CONVENTION, i n hi s own town of Birmingham' Friend Joseph is tickling the cat whilst the mice run of with the cheese ! Could he be - better engaged for the cause were he ten times a Leaguer ? We did purpose saying a few words upon the sub ject of this farcical convention this Brummagem Parliament; but we must perforce abstain. We can: not, however, omit remarking with what propriety anti justice a f ew t h ousan d poun d s o f t h e L eague re might be distributed amongst the needy spoutere--; " complete suffrage" and Chartist—who have sbew , tion ,ofthe duped such an aptitu u de ed aptitude, in working lhet classes ask of misleading from the sleadingtt st a d t i t u e u n s efforts working of the League to drag same d ti o n T e l t : f pauperism and slavery ; and at the m shewienugutteomtphteihtle ini thinking portion and yettionof how them d id a d u l g e e c r l c r us ee i: how effr ete u c r t n , e d wo u ud u l der b t e he s u u p ch erat a Parliament iouufthat as new eweo w n o s u ti l t d utio ll : u which the Sturges and O'C onn ors would frame g for es t i o tins But perhaps we are l a t e i n ma king the s g The needy patriots, or some o f them, have p 6 'rh a P s already touched the League money.
