From 1789 these dilapidations have resisted all remedies, until now, at the age of 85, by two years' use of your delicious Breakfast Food, my left arm and leg have been rendered as useful to me as the right, and the left eyelid restored to health, the eye so much that it requires no spectacles, &c.

It now affords me pleasure to do forpthers what, before, I did -not dare to do for nervous irritation, &c. " W. R. REEVES." "Southwick-park, Fareliam, Hants, Oct. 31, 1848. " Gentlemen,—l sincerely thank you for your kind attention. When I began taking-the Revalenta' I was in as deplorable a condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to bed, and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and being com pelled to have recourse to aperients every second or third day; and upon one occasion I -swallowed no less than seven doses within twenty-eight hours,-under medical advice. There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right ear, that, when I turned my head on the pillow, resembled the sound produced by a slight touch on a musical glass. I had a pain and a sort of fulness across the chest, a sore throat, and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so great that I could not remain in the same position -for ten minutes ail night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about three - inches from the back bone. I commenced taking the Ravelenta' morning and evening, boiled in water and salt, and in less than a fortnight my appe tite was greatly improved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished that I have not tasted -a pill or drug of any kind since. lam much stronger, can walk steadier, and less like a drunken man, &c., &c.

NOBILITY OF NAME.-1.010 week, were married, at Plymouth, Mr. Duke to Miss Lord, both of Prince Town. NOT WIDE AWARE.—Among the casualties received at the Bristol General Hospital last week, was a woman who had dislocated her jaw by yawning ! No fewer than three separate translations of Macaulay's " History of England" are now being issued from the German press. FEATS OF MEMORY.—We once knew a young lady who would from sheer memory take down a sermon, word for word, after the lapse of several hours. She could not re port it as the preacher spoke, but she could afterwards. She wrote out, for instance, a sermon some three-quarters of an hour long, and sent it to the preacher, who, on com paring it with the MS., found not a particle altered. We have known a man who had some dozen of the chissics by heart, and, when in stupid company, would throw himself back in his chair and read Euripides off from his own mind. Mr. Smee should have alluded to the extraordinary instances of memory exhibited by diseased minds. The case is well known of a servant girl who, when mad, could repeat half a grammar. She had merely heard her master, a German student, recite it at intervals, and could not remember a word when sane.—Aflas. THE DETECTIVE POLICE.—If thieving be an art (and who denies that its more subtle and delicate branches de serve to be ranked as one of the Fine Arts ?) thief-taking is a science. All the thief's ingenuity, all his knowledge of human nature, all his courage, all his coolness, all his imperturbable powers of face, all his nice discrimination in reading the countenance of other people, all his manual and dignital dexterity, all his fertility in expedients, and promptitude in acting upon them, all his Protean clever ness of disguise, and capability of counterfeiting every sort and condition of distress, together with a ? t reat deal more patience, and the additional qualification, integrity, are demanded for the higher branches of thief-taking. If an urchin picks your pocket, or a bungling "artist" steals your watch so that you find it out in an instant, it is easy enough for any private in any of the 17 divisions of Lon don police to obey your panting demand to " Stop thief !" But the tricks and Contrivances •of those who wheedle money out of your pocket rather than steal it, who cheat you with your eyes open, who clear every vestige of plate out of your pantry while your servant is on the stairs, who set up imposing warehouses and ease respectable firms of large parcels of goods, who steal the acceptances of needy or dissirited young men,•—for the detection and punishment of such impostors a superior order of police is requisite. To each division of the force are atta-'hed two officers, who are denominated " detectives." The staff, or head-quarters, consists of six sergeants and two inspectors. Thus the detective police, of which we hear to m oo wear r h co o , oo n o s!st fot s m o . f o o o n d ly to 4 p 2 e i r n fo d r ivi ro t t lu he als m , i s ffi e o d o u l t t yit is o w st h d o ope rations of their craft. They h ave no t on l y to counteract the machinations of every sort of rascal whose only means of existence is avowed rascality, but to clear up family mysteries, the investigation of which demands the utmost delicacy and tact.—Dickens' Household Words. THE KILKENNY CATS.—The story generally told is, that two of these animals fought in a sawpit with such ferocious determination that when the battle was over nothing could be found remaining of either combatant except his tail—the marvellous incident to be drawn therefrom being, of course, that they had devoured each other. This ludicrous anecdote has. no doubt, been gene rally looked upon as an absurdity of the Joe Miller class; but this I conceive to be a mistake. I have not the least doubt that the story of the mutual destruction of the con tending cats was an allegory designed to typify the utter ruin to which centuries of litigation and embroilment on the subject of conflicting rights and privileges tended to reduce the respective exchequers of the rival municipal bodies of Kilkenny and Irishtown—separate corporations existing within theliberties of one city, and the bounda ries of whose respective jurisdiction had never been marked out or defined by an authority to which either was willing to bow. Their struggles for precedency, and for the maintenance of alleged rights invaded, commenced A.D. 1377, and were carried on with truly feline fierce ness and implacability till the end of the seventeenth century, when it -may fairly be considered that they had mutually devoured each otherto the very tail, as we find their property all mortgaged, and see them each passing by-laws that their respective 'officers should be content with the dignity 'of their station, and forego all hope of salary till the suit at law with the other " pretended cor poration" should be terminated, and the encumbrances thereby caused removed with the vanquishment of the enemy. Those-who have taken the story of the Kilkenny cats in its literal sense have done grievous injustice to the character of the grimalkins of the " faire cittie,'" who are really quite as demure and quietly disposed a race of tabbies as it is the nature of any such animals to be. — Notes and Queries. THE STORE-ROOM OF THE WONDERFUL OLD WOMAN Ei OF THREADN EDLE-STREET.—The apartment n which the notes are kept previous to issue, is the Old 'Lady's Store-room. There is no jam, there are no pickles, no preserves, no gallipots, no stoneware jars, no spices, no anything of that sort, in the Store-room of the Wonderful Old Lady. You might die of hunger in it. Your sweet tooth would decay and tumble out, before it could find the least gratification in the Old Lady's Store-room. There was a mouse found there once, but it was dead, and nothing but skin and bone. It is a grim room, fitted up all round with great iron safes. They look as if they might be the old lady's ovens, never heated. But they are very warm, in the City sense ; for when the Old Lady' s t wo s t ore k eepers h ave , each with his own key, unlocked his own one of the double locks attached to each, and opened the door, Mr. Matthew Marshall gives you to hold a little bundle of paper, value two millions sterling; and, clutching it with a strange , tingling, you feel disposed to knock Mr. Matthew Mar shall down, and, like a patriotic Frenchman, to descend into the streets. No tyro need be told that these notes are representatives of weightier value, and were invented partly to supersede the necessity of carrying about pon derous parcels of precious m e t a ls. Hence--to treat of it soberly—four paper parcels taken out, and placed in our hands, consisting of four reams of Bank notes ready for issue, and not much more bulky than a thick octavo vo lume—though they represent gold of the weight of two tons, and of the v a l ue o f t wo m illions of pounds sterling, yet weigh not quit e one p oun d avo irdupois each, or nearly four pounds together. The value in gold of what we could convey away in a couple of side pock2ts (if simply permitted by the dear Old Lady in Threadneedle-street, without proceeding to extremities upon the person of the person of the chief ,cashier) would have required, but for her admirable publications, two of Barclay and Perkins's streacest hones to dom.—Dickens's Hounhold Word..

The lines are by Tickell. The Montague alluded to was Charles first Earl of Halifax : " ADDISON. "Ne'er to these chambers, where the mighty rest, Since their foundation came a nobler guest; Nor e'er was to the bowers of bliss conveyed A fairer spirit, or more welcome shade. 0! gone for ever, take this long adieu, And sleep in peace next thy lov'd Montague. " Born, 167'2 ; died, 1719. "Egerton, Earl of Ellesmere, P.C., 1849." LIFE ASSURANCE.—A trial of considerable interest to life assurance offices and the public was concluded on Tuesday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of £539 in the Albion Com pany as security for an advance, the payment of which policy was disputed by the Albion. on the ground that at the time it was effected, the fact of the assured party having been a man of intemperate habits was con cealed from the office. The chief evidence turned upon ' the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the result was that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy but also for £4O interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking iliustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all policies under the present system,and shows that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by assurance offices of the plan of protecting themselves, in every case, by due inquiries before the granting of each policy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves pre eluded from raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinicns as to what can properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be able to guard themselves against such contingencies. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred.—The Times. A LITERARY LOPEZ.—A new literary enterprise has just been started in New York, which illustrates the work ing of the system by which Enclish literature is made to enrich American publishers. This is a monthly magazine by the Harpers, the well-known baronial house in Cliffe street, who have amassed an immense fortune, principally by their sagacious selection of current English books for the American market. This magazine consists ofselec- tions from fhe whole, compass of British periodical litera ture, including popular extracts from favourite English books, which they receive in advance of their publication in London. The plan is not altogether new in this coun try, but this differs from any that have preceded it in its extent and cheapness. For instance, the forthcoming July number will contain the cream of all the June peri odicals, with copious specimens of new books that will scarcely have made their public appearance in London at that time, like Leigh Hunt's charming Autobiography, and other works of similar interest. This plan keeps curiosity alive, and with the contents of the magazine it will be abundantly gratified, each number containing as much matter as a volume of Macaulay's History of England, and sold at the ridiculously low price of 25 cents. The sale of this work amounted to 20,000 copies within the first fortnight of its publication, and will probably run up to 50,000 before the close of the year. This certainly shows the popularity of English literature in this country, whatever inference may be drawn as to American justice.—From the American Correspondent of the Manchester Examiner. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE AND ART.—The charities of the metropolis, the Art-Union of London, and many other bodies associated for useful purposes, have sustained a great loss by the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The council of the Art-Union, on Tues day, when the announcement of his death was made to them, adjourned the meeting, in token of respect and sor row. The following anecdote of the duke, illustrative simply of his Royal Highness's manner, will probably not be considered out of place at this moment. Very early in the morning of the first day after the private view of the British Institution, in 1849, Mr. Goodwin was alone in the gallery, when the Duke of Cambridge entered with one of his suit. The duke kindly recognised,and spoke about two or three of the pictures. Ultimately the duke carne to a very dark painting by Danby, which some of our readers will recollect, called " A Highland Chief tain's Funeral." " That's a bad picture," said the duke. " Well, sir," replied his auditor. " I am sorry to differ from you, but I don't think it a bad picture." " You don't think it a bad picture ? Now, I insist on your telling me why it isn't a bad picture." " Why, sir, if you'll permit me, it is so and so, and so and so ; and moreover it is very poetical." " Poetical, is it ?" re joined the duke, with a slight laugh ; ah, yes poetical ; that means you must have it in you yourself, and I haven't."—Builder. PATRICK'S COLT.—" A gentleman," says the Man chester American, " who favours us with some reminis cences respecting the early settlement of this place, for merly old Derryfield, relates the following anecdote : When my grandfather resided at Goffetown and Derry. field, then settled by the Irish, be hired a wild sort of an Irishman to work on his farm. One day, soon after his arrival, he told him to take a bridle and go out in the field and catch the colt. ' Don't come without him,' said the old gentleman. Patrick started and was gone some time, but at last returned minus the bridle, with his face and hands badly scratched, as though he had re ceived bad treatment. " Why, Patrick, what is the matter ? What in the Dame of wonder ails you ?" "Au' is'nt it myself yer honer, that never'll catch the ould black cold again ? Bad luck to him ! An' didn't he all bsutiiEn sayhing scratch my eyesy my 1 - m0 ? An' faith, as t hrue a toy t o Q u il , I Q l:ad to climb up a three after the colt." " Climb up after him ! Nonsence ! Where is the beast ?" " An' its tied to the three he is, to be sure, yer honer." We all followed Patrick to the spot to get a solution of the difficulty, and on reaching the field we found that he had been chasing a bear, which he had succeeded in catching, after a great deal of rough usage on both sides, and actually tied with the bridle to an old tree. Bruin was kept for a long while, and was ever af terwards known as Patrick's colt.—New York Courier. A PC ODLE STORY FROM WREXHAM.—Recently, two maiden ladies' favourite dog became sick and unable to partake of the usual fare, consisting of the best of good things. To effect a cure a dog-fancier was sent for, and, upon examining the " dear creature," the soi-disant doctor shook his head and declared it to be a " bad case." It was arranged that the cur should be placed under the immediate care of the man, who at once prescribed beef tea. A shin of beef was immediately procured, and from that day, until the dog was taken home the fancier and his family lived in clover. A decided improvement in. their appearance was visible, scarcely a day passing with out a piece of beef or leg of mutton being sent to the oven, of which the dog was allowed a smell. In six weeks the ladies could not endure his absence any longer, and accordingly the dog arrived, the ladies remarking that the dog must certainly be worse, as he looked much thinner: but, in order to show the ladies what a perfect cure had been effected, a crust was placed before him, which disappeared like magic. This was convincing., and the delighted ladies placed E. sovereign in the man's hand. Poor pug had been in " durance vile" in a rain tub, and allowed the privilege of fasting, which effected his cure.—Chester Chronicle. THE MERMAID AT RHYL.—On Monday. the Ist inst., some fishermen of Rhyl were out with their boats and nets salmon fishing. At the entrance of the river some thing drew their attention floating in the sea. On ap proaching it they took it to be the dead body of a female, and when within forty or fifty yards of it, they found it to be a living object, a fish. The appearance of the fish resembled that of a female, with a fine head of hair hang ing over her shoulders. The like was never seen before on this coast. This settles the dispute concerning the mermaid.—Ckester Chronicle. ASSYRIAN CUSTOM OF NAMING A FATUER.—It is a custom in Assyria to call the father by the name of his eldest son. Thus supposing the appellation of the latter to be Mohammed, the father would be termed Abou Mo hammed, the father of Mohammed ; and this compound title is often substituted for his proper name. On one occasion an old gentleman, entitled Ismail, who was much respected by his neighbours, was so unfortunate as to have no.son from whom to derive an honorific appellation. What was to be done ? All the neighbours agreed it would 'be a great shame that so respectable and worthy a man should be called all his life plain Ismail. A mollah was called into consultation, and it was determined, by a species of legal fiction, to denominate him Abou Ahmed, the father of Ahmed. He had been known by this name for a year cr two when he married again, and a son was born, to whom, in acknowledgment of the kindness of his neighbours, he gave the name of Ahmed.—Notesfrohe Nineveh. THE OLD DIVIDEND BOOKS IN THE BANK.—A separate set of offices is necessary to keep all such accounts, and these stock offices c on t a i n th e mo st varied and extensive collection of autographs extant. Those whom fortune en titles to dividends must. by themselves or their agents, sign the stock books. The last signature of Handel, the composer, and that upon which Henry Fauntleroy was condemned and executed, are among the foremost of these felons. Here, standing in a great long building of divers stories, looking dimly upward through iron gratings, and dimly downward through iron gra ti ngs, and into musty chambers diverging into the walls on either band, yoil may muse upon the national debt. All the sheep that ever came out of Northamptonshire seem to have Yielded up their skins, in order to furnish the registers in which its accounts are kept. Sweatin g an d wast i ng i n this vast present library, like manuscripts in a mouldy old convent, are the records of the dividends that are, and have been, and of the dividends unclaimed. Some men would sell their fathers into slavery, to have the rummaging of these old volumes. Some, who would let the tree of knowledge gather while they lay contemptuously at its feet, would bestir themselves to pluck at these leaves, like ship wrecked mariners. These are the books to profit by. This is the place for X. Y. Z. to hear of something to his advan. tage in. This is the land for Mr. Joseph Ady's dreams. This is the dusty fountain whence those wondrous para graphs occasionally flow into the papers, disclosing how a labouring thatcher has come into a hundred thousand pounds —a long, long way to come—and gone out of his wits —not half so far to go. Oh, wonderful old lady ! threading the needle with the golden eye all through the labyri n th of the national debt, and hiding it in such dry hay-stacks as pre rotten hero ! —.Mckens Household Word'. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL xTANDARD SIR,—On Sunday evening last, hearing there were great doings going on at a Roman Catholic chapel. not a hun dred miles from Birkenhead, I paid it a visit. Will you allow me to give a brief description of what I heard and saw, together with the feelings the scene gave rise to. On entering the outer door, I first witnessed the " faithful" dipping the tips of their fingers in a sma ll f ont, contain ing holy water, and putting it on their foreheads, crossing themselves, and bowing and curtseying in a most rustic fashion. I was then recommended to go up into the gal lery, where I should ge t the " b e st s i g ht" o f t h e proceed ings. Upon entering, there was a penny to pay ; no t, however, having a penny, I would feign have excused giving 'til next time I came, when I promised to pay double. But that would not do for the little Irish man, who threw himself athwart my path, and de manded a penny ; so, therefore, I put in a shilling and: took out sixpence, though upon going up stairs there is a board intimating that the entrance fee is a " voluntary offering," See The service soon alter commenced, which,, I presume, was the same as usual, though perfectly unin telligible to me, a churchman. There were the lighted candles, as if the light of the sun and the light of the Gospel (which I was told they were intended to illustrate and emblematise) were not sufficient to light up the place of worship ; there was the decorated altar, and a luil-sized picture of Ch r i s t upon t h e cross. Then came the priest, with a dress o f th e most gorgeous colours, yellow and white, and his attendants, two of the boys, carrying candles. The Rom in Catholics might surely suppose that we are living in times antecedent to the birth of Christ, when such emblems and artificial lights might have been allowable. But I must proce:d to the discourse. It was upon the lack of attendance at the confessional; and was delivered by an Italian priest, with all the vehe mence of language, voice, and action, that he could com mand. He did not condescend to tell us where the text was taken from ; but it consisted of two verses out of the Psalms, from which he drew a representation of the state of the " damned," the danger of delaying confession ; and arrived at the conclusion :that all those who did not come often to confession were liable to mistake their last illness as only a temporary Hitless, and thus " to die in their sins." He then gave several instances, as (he stated) they were told to him by the ministers of God in the parishes in which they took place, one of which I give you as a specimen. He said, " I was told by a minister of God, in this very country, who resided in one of the commer cial towns, that a gentleman of respectability and wealth,. who to all appearances was attentive to the outward forms of religion, so far as going to church, paying his dues,.. and performing many of the duties which the church en joined, attending nominally the confessional at. Easter time, &c., &c., but he was not a true catholic, he neg lected to make his sincere repentance, and confess, as every true catholic ought to do. He put off from Easter to Christmas, and from Christmas to Easter again, the true confession of his sins, till at length he was seized with a mortal illness, but even then, not at first knowing it was his last illness, he put off till the last hour sending_ for a priest. But at the eleventh hour, in time dead of night, his wife sent a servant for the priest. The servant knocked at the door of the pri: st's house, and the win dow was opened, and a voice from the window said, ' I will come immediately.' The servant went back, but no priest came. The wife sent the servant again, requesting the priest to come without delay, or her husband would be dead. The servant went, knocked at the door, and again the window opened, and the same voice said. I will come immediately ; I will be there as soon as you are.' The servant returned and told her mistress; who waited for some time longer, till her husband being apparently at death's door, a third time sent the servant to press the priest to delay not a moment or her husband would be dead. The servant knocked at the door a third time, and the window was again opened, and the same voice said, he is gone, you must have passed him ; or he may have gone by another street.' The servant returned, the hus band was dead—the priest had not arrived, and conse quently the man died ' without benefit of clergy.' The disconsolate widow called the next morning on the priest,. when the priest informed her that that was the first time he had heard of the illness of her husband ; he was not aware that any servant had been to his house." Tee Italian preacher then said,—" I leave you to guess who it was that opened the window and delivered the message." Comment upon this would be idle. If a Christian con gregation in England (though I believe they were chiefly Irish), in the nineteenth century, will support such a system of religion as this ; farewell say 1 to ail the corn mon sense, the moral and truthful tone of society that has pervaded her people for centuries past.—l am, Sir, yours, &c. AN EYE AND EAR WITNESS. Birkenhead, 9th July, 1850. The weather during the last few days has been extremely sultry. Nearly all the hay in this vicinity has been secured in good condition. The crop is scarcely an average one, and the stock of old hay is unusually small. At Berlin a wealthy Jewish merchant has been arrested on a charge of usury, and the moner-lenders, who carry on an extensive business with the continually embarrassed officers and underpaid employes, are in consternation, as it is the first time the offence has been prosecuted as a felony by what is called criminal arrest. FOREIGN AND ENGLISH ARCHITECTS. —The three £l4O prizes for the best designs for the building to be erected in Hyde Park, as the 1851-exhibition b azaar , h ave been awarded to M. Bonnet del, of Paris, Mr, Leonard Wyon, London, and Mr. G. Adams, London. The £5O prizes have been awarded to Mr. Hancock, London, M. Wiener, Brussels, and M. Gayrard, Paris. None of the designs, however, have been accepted. SHEEP THAT WENT HOME.—We can vouch for the following :—A gentleman from the neighbourhood of • Bath purchased and brought home a large flock of sheep from one of the counties of south Wales. The morning after he had placed them in the field he found the entire flock gone. Search was made for days without the slightest trace. At last an old shepherd suggested that they might be found in their own Welds in Carmarthen shire, and there, sure enough, they were. They must have travelled an immense way to have crossed the Severn. —Alias. THE LAW'S DELAYS.—At the Vice-Chancellor's Court,. on Thursday, before Sir J. K. Bruce, a young lady, a ward of the court, petitioned, through her agent, for permission to visit Boulogne, in company with her stepmother. His Honour inquired what reason was assigned for the proposed visit to Boulogne, and Mr. Lloyd, the agent, in reply, stating that he was not instructed as to the object, his Honour then replied, that the petition must stand over, as he should require information on that point. His Honour also observed, that he should certainly not approve of Boulogne as a residence for the ward ; there might be less objection to Dieppe. A RAPID MODE OF LIGHTING GASLAMPS.—A rapid and scientific mode of lighting and extieguishinz public gasburners has been invented by a person named Viilatte. The opening of the burner of each lamp is covered with a piece of soft iron, mounted upon a hinge. In connexion with this is a wire extending from a galvanic battery the length of the service of the gaslamps, and close to the orifice of each burner is a small slip of platina. The soft iron, be coming a magnet when acted upon by the electric fluid, l to a op m ei tnp opens or , ot arhnecdl platingo thus sestile everyori ignitesfi l c a e m a P e' 17enrnda it tn l large r s gt necessary e t t ch o e w es smotionmay b imparted lightlpig a h r I. : h e e lighted simultaneously, or extinguished in the same way, by a different. action on the magnetized iron. MR. BRIGHT'S FOREIGN POLICY VOTE.—Mr. John Bright has replied to a constituent who arraigns his vote against Lord Palmerston's foreign policy of interference. He considers that policy as necessarily leading to irritation and quarrels, threatening war, and requiring extraordi nary armaments ; as violating all the principles on which Mr. Bright was elected. As to his motives he voted with his honest colleague from Manchester ; with Mr. Cob den, whose political sagacity and regard for the true inter- . ests of liberty few will suspect ; and with Mr. Hume ; he voted too "with that statesman, since then so suddenly taken from amongst us, whose good disposition towards the government none could doubt, and whose sacrifices for his country, and whose services in recent years have been such as to make his narne sacred among his country men, and, if on this point there be any distinction among them, most of all to be revered by the inhabitants of s y a o y u s r A c i i r ty." .Brig'h' Bright, ,i r i s s a a r n ese h n o t n Anhte independently," oularwcheicshlr appre ciate;canfully but to sit in parliament as the mere instrument of party, is no object of hope or ambition with me." RAPID JIISTIcE.—We hear much of the law's delay. It is well now and then to know that justice can he quicic. as well as sure. As the Hon.

The next morning a bill was sent before the grand jury, found to be a true bill, and thi prisoner was forthwith put on his trial. Utterly unable to deny the facts, he pleaded guilty in hopes of a mitigated , punishment. But, as it turned out on inquiry that he was a known thief, burglar, and returned transport, Sergeant Adams sentenced him to be transported for ten years. Thus this sentence was pronounced within twenty-two hours after the commission of the offence. the swell mob are great. They can always command ca pital to execute any especial scheme. Their travelling expenses are large ; for their harvests are great public gains of some of occasions, whether in town or country. As an examule of their profits, the exploits of four of them at the Li ayt;e irtoocomn,siwstheedreofthsee verpool Cattle Show, some seven years ago, may be men tioned.
