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 ; what ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous 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—its purification of the blood—and, above all, the complete invi gorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties become restored to their p roper power and functions, and raised the fallen fabric of lif e is• c 1 up to beauty, consistency, upon and duration, n 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 cons um pti v e habits. It po ssesses Wonderful efficacy in all eases of of spirits , fits, head-ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness ofthspeirits, dimness of sight, confused wanderings of min d, you and thoughts, va vapours , melancholy ; gradually removed and all kinds of hysteric co mplaints are by its use. weak, or dec a y o e d, men i en men or women, ci and speedil cured.

RECENT events have awakened so gene a feeling of the momentous importance of secu g a protection from fire to Deeds, Records, MSS., Bo s and Papers of Accompt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all bustible Materials, that THOMAS MILNER and SO eel excused in again inviting public notice to their PATEN FIRE RESISTING DEPOSITORIES. Having submitted their one-chambered Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prin cipal towns, they have received from' the authorities of each the most satisfactory certificates of their efficiency for ordi nary casualties ; and, being confirmed in their opinion by a ong course of experiment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle of their Patent is capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit the consideration of gentlemen interested in mechanical science to the subject generally, and investiga tion into the pretensions of the various means of security in use, their own amongst the rest. M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail able. ' The Certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in Liverpool bears the signatures of the following gentlemen, to whom permission of reference is kindly given : THOMAS BOLTON, Esq. (ex-Mayor.) JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq. (ex -Mayor.) Sir THOMAS BRANCKER. BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq. L. GRAHAM, Esq. R. FRODSHAM, Esq. WM. STOCK, Esq. S. Woons, jun., Esq. In addition to the above, Milner and Son draw attention to the following statements : A trial of Milner's Patent Fire Resisting Wes and Boxes having been announced by cards, issued to 500 of Abe scien tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned from the Royal Dublin Society's premises, on account of alterations in progress thereon, took place at the Rotundo Gardens, October 7th, 1842. The fire, consisting of half a ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling, was lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled with papers, &c., in the centre. The whole were examined by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate were placed inside. Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed ngs, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed. A little before three-o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the box, and its contents, including several parchments with seals attached, were found to be perfectly safe. At half-past four o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat. It was again replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours' trial. al though the outer cell was red hot, the inner one and contents, on being opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq.. H. Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner, Trouton, &c., were still as fresh and perfect as when placed in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma terials in ordinary fires.

WILL OF THE LATE LORD ROLLE.—The will and nine codicils of the late Right Hon. Lord Rolle, late of Shewton, in the county of Devon, has just been proved in the Preroga tive Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in Doctors' Commons, by the executors, the Right Hon. Charles Rolle Clinton, Baron Clinton, Zachary Hammett Drake, Esq., and Harry James, Esq. The personal property of the deceased has been sworn under the value of £300,000, and is princi pally left to his family. BANK OF ENGLAND CHARTER.—The present charter of the Bank of England dates from the I st Of August , 18:3.1; - and is for twenty-one years, but gives, by the fifth clause, an op tion to the government of putting an end to the charter, upon giving one year's notice within six months after the expiration of ten years from the above date; and the charter might, consequently, be reclaimed early in the year 1846. If that period is passed over the charter will go on to the full term, expiring in 1855 ; after which, if no new charter is entered into, the exclusive privileges may be terminated at any time by giving a year's notice. On Wednesday morning another sad casualty occurred upon the railway works, at Margaretting. John Cant, about forty years of age, employed as watchman upon the line, was unfortunately knocked down, about four o'clock a.m., by a train of earth waggons, seven of which passing over both his legs, smashed them in a dreadful manner. He was imme diately placed upon the engine and conveyed towards the union -house, to which place he was subsequently carried, and he was there attended by Mr. Barlow, surgeon. Death, however, put a period to his sufferings in about two hours, during the whole of which time he remained perfectly sensi ble. Deceased was a single man.—Chelmsford Chronicle. " DONE FOR."—A wag, a few years since, procured some eye-wash of a quack oculist in this city, to be applied to a glass-eye which he wore. The oculist not being very sharp sighted. discovered there was some defect in the eye, but thought it was so trifling that he warranted a cure or no pay. The wag took the wash and deported. In a week or so after he returned with the empty phial, and apparently in great distress. "0, doctor, doctor !" said he, " your stuff has wholly destroyed my eye !" at the same time opening the lids of the empty socket with his finger, to the horror of the gasping oculist. "Is it possible! can it be possible !" ex claimed the eye tinker. " I never knew my medicine to operate so before. Well, my dear Sir, I can do no thi ng l ess , than return your money." ' But you must do more, Sir. What is five dollars to be compared with the loss of an eye ?" replied the wag, "If you will give me 200 dollars, I will sign a pledge never to expose you ; but if you do not, I will prosecute you forthwith, and you are a ruined man." The quack forked over a check for the amount, and the covey cut his stick perhaps for Texas.—New York Sunday Mercury. INCENDIARISM.—About four o'clock in the morning of Wednesday se'nnight, Mr. H. Carr of this town, butcher, was aroused from his bed by information that one of his hay-ricks, on a farm called the Otneys, adjacent to this town, was on fire. He, with his servants, immediately re paired to the spot, when they found the information but too true, the rick, containing about 26 tons of very superior hay, being one mass of flames. All hope of saving any portion of it being utterly hopeless, their efforts were directed io save from destruction an adjoining one, the thatch of which had already caught. Most fortunately Mr. Carr had a quantity of sheepskins at hand, which he caused to be well saturated with water and spread over it, and by that :means, aided by the . most indefatigable exertions of himself and men, as well as several other persons from the villages of Culham and Sugton, that rick was preserved. No doubt exists as to its being the act of an incendiary. A reward of 20 guineas has been offered for the apprehension and conviction of the of fender. We understand Mr. Carr was fully insured in the County Fire-office, the directors of which, with their usual promptitude, have since through their agents, Messrs. Har ris and Tomkins, paid Mr. C. the full amount of his loss.— Berkshire Chronicle. GERMAN RIDING.—As is the general practice on the con tinent, they seem to ride rather for parade than pleasure. Their horsemanship is, in fact, the most uncomfortable thing in the world, and makes one's back ache to see it. They sit as erect as posts, and jolt along without springing in the "saddle, In a way that must make - every joint of their back bones, as well as of their limbs, undergo the most cruel of martyrdoms. They tell you that the English are the worst riders in the world, because in a sharp trot they lean forward and rise in the stirrups. But knowledge of anatomy and the common principles of mechanical philosophy might show them, that to sit perpendicularly, as they do, converts all the bones in their bodies into pestles to pound each other to pieces, and makes their whole weight come bump, bump on their horses' backs, most painfully and detrimentally to them; while the Englishman, on the contrary, throwing the pillar of his bones out of the perpendicular, brings his muscles and tendons to act as springs; and by that gentle, and, in a good rider, almost imperceptible rising in the stirrups, he accords his motion harmoniously to that of his horse, and both go together at any speed with a delightfu smoothness and elasticity, which give a Spur to the anima spirits, and make rapid riding one of the most genuine luxu. ries of life.—.Howitt's Rural and Domestic Life of Germany , THE FIRE IN LONDON.—ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.:- It has been ascertained, that no less than nine lives have been sacrificed in the fire, besides severe injuries sustained by others. The fire commenced in the first floor front room, occupied by a Dutchman, who, with his wife effected their escape. In the back room of the first floor were a Mrs. Moss and two children, who were fortunately saved. On the second floor back, lived a man, his wife, and three children, named Proudfoot ; two of the children were burned, and the other, with its parents, had a miraculous escape. They were all in bed and asleep at the time the fire occurred, and awoke only by the flames catching the bed clothes. Proud foot aroused his wife and children, and caught one of themlin his arms, and rushed down stairs, calling upon his wife to follow. The staircase was all in flames, and in his rushing through them his child and himself were severely burned. Mrs. Proudfoot, finding it impossible to follow her husband, opened the back window, and called for help. Fortunately Mr. Cook, the proprietor of the premises, was in the yard. and, with a ladder, succeeded in rescuing the poor woman, but not till she was shockingly burned on the back. Mr. Cook made another attempt to save the children, but failed, as the fire had extended all over the house. In the front room of the same floor lived a Mrs. Thomas who was out at the time the fire commenced. The front attic was occupied by a Mrs. Holland, and four daughters. On the fire reach ing their rooms, the two eldest daughters threw up the win= dow, and jumped out; one of them was killed on the spot ; the other received such severe injuries, that she died shortly after her arrival at the London Hospital. The mother and two younger daughters were seen leaning out of the windows crying for aid, and none could reach them. One by one they fell back, and perished in the flames. In the bark attic were a Mr. and Mrs. Summers and three children. Mr. and Mrs. Summers succeeded in effecting their escape with one child, and the other two lost their lives in bed. The parents were much burned, particularly the mother, in endeavouring to save her offspring. The premises are,insured. \ -\ , , \ DAWBAnN AND DAVIS, TAILORS AND DRAPE 110, BOLD-STREET, INFORM the Gentlemen of Liverpool t?

Mr. S. Sharpe appeared in support of a petition which asked a reference to the master to inquire and state whether it would be fit and proper, and for the benefit of a lady named Mrs. Georgiana Carisbrook, that an appeal against a decision of the Court of Chancery of the county palatine of Lancaster should be prosecuted in the House of Lords. Mrs. Canis brook, by her will, had left legacies to the amount of £20,000. The petition was presented on behalf of one of the residuary legatees of that lady, whose husband, Mr. Thomas Canis brook. had become possessed of large property under the will of a Mr. Thomas Eccleston, in 1806. That will had been the subject of much discussion in the Court of Chancery and in the House of Lords. The husband of the testatrix was the second son of Mr. Eccleston, according to whose direction he had taken the name of Carisbrook, and claimed to be entitled to certain estates known by the name of the Eccleston and the Carisbrook estates. The trustees of Mr. Eccleston were Lord Skelmersdale and a Mr. Masters, to whom, also, Mr. Thomas Carisbrook, in 1815, had executed a deed of trust, assigning his estates for moneys advanced. There had been a question under the will of the original tes tator, whether Thomas or his brother, Charles Carisbrook, were entitled to the estate. By an order of the Court of Chancery of Lancaster Thomas was declared entitled. Charles Carisbrook had appealed to the Duchy Court of Lancaster, when the order was reversed in favour of Charles. It was alleged that there was a sum of £60,000 to which the testatrix's estate might . become entitled if the order of re versal was carried by appeal to the House of Lords, which the plaintiff was advised to do, the present fund being only sufficient to pay the pecuniary legacies. The petition was presented on behalf of the residuary legatees. Mr. Rolt appeared on the same side. Mr. Roupell and Mr. Mylne appeared for one of the ex ecutors, who did not resist the motion, and also for two of the residuary legatees. Mr. Lowndes appeared for the defendant, the executor, and opposed the motion. The present fund was sufficient to discharge the testatrix's pecuniary legacies in full, but with outinterest ; and he objected to the appeal being tried at the expense of the pecuniary legatees. Mr. Sharpe, in reply, argued that it was the duty of the court to get in the whole of the outstanding estate in the first instance, and the prosecution of the appeal was a necessary means of doing so, and ought to be assisted by the court in the manner proposed. His Honour took time to consider. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURTS, FRIDAY, DEC. 16. '(Before Sir L. SHADWELL.) WALSH V. GLADSTONE. This was a petition by Lord Camoys, Elizabeth Tempest, and Charlotte Stonor, who were the residuary legatees under the .will of the late M. Blundell, which has been several times before the Court, and particularly upon a charitable bequest for the benefit of Roman Catholic priests in and near London. The petition stated that about a year before the decease of Mr. Blundell, he delivered to William Hall, his butler, two sealed packets, with a direction to retain them in his possession until after the testator's death, and then to present them to Messrs. Heywood and Co., Mr. Blundell's bankers, at Liverpool. The packets were re tained by Hall until after Mr. Blundell's death, when they were duly taken by Mr. Gladston'e, one of the executors, to the banking-house, and one packet was found to contain a check for £5OO, payable on demand to Hall, and the other a similar check for £3OO, in favour of a female named Harris. The testator made a will after the date of these instruments, by which he gave Hall an annuity of £2OO, and Harris an annuity of £6O, and, without any allusion to the two checks, made a revocation of all former dispositions, declaring that to be his last wilt The Ecclesiastical Court having granted probate of the two checks, a fund of £1,200 stock had been set aside to meet them, and the question now raised upon the petition was, whether the two checks were not revoked by the subsequent will of the testator. Mr. Stuart, with Mr. Fleming, appeared for the peti tioners, who claimed the fund; and Mr. Roupell and Mr. Rolt were counsel for the two legatees. _ _ The Vice-Chancellor said, the Ecclesiastical Court had taken upon itself the jurisdiction of construing the two papers merely for the purpose of admitting them to probate ; but any thing that Court had done on the ground of con struction did not bind this Court ; and the question still re mained, notwithstanding probate, what was the construc tion. It appeared from the probate that the two papers were dated September, 1833, and this Court was bound by the decision of the Ecclesiastical Court that they were to be taken as part of the will of the testator. Then the testator executed a subsequent instrument, which he stated to be his last will, by which he gave legacies to the objects of the bequest in the previous papers, without any reference to their being before mentioned, and then he made a residuary bequest, and finally declared that he revoked all former wills. His Honour thought this was a clear revo cation of the two papers, and therefore directed the fund to be paid to the residuary legatees. f.! BRUTAL CONDUCT AT SEA. At the Central Criminal Court, on Thursday last, before Barons Alderson • and Gurney, John Bowman Reynolds, David Barnes, George Deane, James M`Donald, and George Sole, sailors, were charged with having killed Philip Keel upon the high sea, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Doane conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson appeared for Reynolds, the mate of the vessel, and Mr. Wilkins appeared for the other de fendants. _ _ _ The prisoners and the deceased were sailors on board the. barque Clydesdale, which was homeward bound from Bom bay. On the Ist instant, when almost in the port of Liver pool, the prisoner Reynolds, the mate of the vessel, went to the forecastle, in which Philip Keel, the cook, a man of colour, was lying ill. Reynolds told him to get up to pre pare breakfast, but he said he was too ill, and was not able to do so. The mate said that he was skulking, and he would bowse him up if he did not get up. The cook, it appeared, was ill from exposure to the cold, after having been accus tomed to a warm climate. He said to the mate, " You don't know my feelings." Several persons who were in bed in the forecastle heard Keel groaning. Barnes said, "If you don't hold your noise I'll put a rope round your neck." George Sole and Deane said, if the rope were put round his neck, they would haul him up. The rope was put down, and Barnes went to tho 000lt and put.the end of it round his neck. The other end was on deck, and three men hauling at it drogged the cook from his berth. Newman, the carpenter, called out that the man would be choked. He sprung from his berth, and stopping the hauling, took the rope from the poor fellow's neek.and slipped it down over his breast. The other prisoners tl resumed the hauling, and the head of the cook jammed a ainst the skuttle. Sole cleared the head from the scuttle, and the cook was dragged on deck. Keel was left some time on deck, after which, appearing " io a stagnant state, he was carried down and placed in his berth." Thomas Stephens, also a coloured man who was ill from the cold, went to him in about five minutes and found him dead. _ The surgeon who examined the deceased was inclined to think he had died of suffocation ; but on cross-examination he said, the remarkable appearances which the chest and brain of the deceased presented might have ensued from exposure to cold. 'ln reply to a question from Baron Alder son, he said he did not think that dragging out of bed by a rope, which was afterwards slackened, would produce suffo cation. Baron Alderson stopped the case, and, addressing the jury, said there was no evidence that the man died of strangula tion, and the charge of manslaughter could not be sustained. His opinion was, that the man's death was caused by the brutal exposure upon the deck. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Baron Alderson asked if there were another count in the indictment to meet this case ? The counsel for the prosecution replied that there was not. He knew nothing of the case till it was sent to their hands. Baron Alderson said there ought to have been such a count. It was not right that, in a Christian country, the ends of justice should be so defeated. Guilty persons ought not to he thus suffered to escape upon a mere point of form. It deserved the attention of the highest authorities in the State, and, in particular, of the Attorney and Solicitor Generals. The learned baron made these statements with much earnestness. Baron Gurney.—These matters were much better managed in the time of the advocate for the Admiralty. Great care was then taken in bringing forward these cases, and they were properly managed. The same care ought to be ob served now. RETURNING FROM TRANSPORTATION.—A man named George Saxon is in custody at Manchester, on a charge of having escaped from a penal settlement to which he had been transported. The prisoner narrated to a police-officer the particulars of his escape from New Sonth Wales, three years hgo, from which it appeared that he had suffered great hard ships. He said that he and nine other convicts made their escape at one time, that eight of them were massacred and eaten by the natives, and that, after travelling six hundred miles on foot, he got on board a ship and worked as a sailor. He was one of the hands on, board the Era steamer at the time it was burnt on the Mississippi river, in America. THE COTTON TRADE AT HAMBURG.—In the returns of the trade of Hamburg it is stated that the imports of raw cotton were less by 11,000 bales in 1841 than in 1840, whilst at the same time the stock on hand at the close of 1841 was 17,000 bales against 10,800 bales only at the end of 1840. The cause assigned is the stagnation of the German spin neties through the competition of those in this country. The masses of English yarn exported upon the German mar kets bronglit down prices to the lowest point, so that the spinners there limited themselves to such supplies of the raw material only as were rigorously necessary not to close their factories altogether. The quantity of cotton yarns received from hence...in Prussia ava.L.l.lanove;._ was estimated at. 35,000,000 lbs.—Morning Herald. SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LIFE.—On Wednesday ac counts were received of further wrecks of vessels and loss of human life by the authorities and under -writers at Lloyds, the particulars relating to which, as far as can be obtained, are briefly as follows :—Great Yarmouth, December 13. — Yesterday morning, shortly after 10 o'clock, the Wear packet, master T. Mueson, belonging to Sunderland, while on her passage from that port to Southampton, with the wind fresh from the S.S.W., observing at about six or seven miles dis tant a vessel. with signals of distress flying at the masthead. All way was instantly made upon the vessel to render assis tance, and upon coming up to her she proved to be the brig Parker, heavily laden with coal, bound to London, and in a sinking state. Her crew were all stripped and working labouriously at the pumps, and every point was being strained by them to save the vessel, but there was already many feet of water in the bold, and, from the fact of its increasing instead of decreasing, the master at length ordered his men to take to the boat, which they did, and proceeded on board of the Wear packet, where every kindness was shown to them. They had, however, scarcely reached that vessel before their own, with all her sails set, gave a lurch and went down in 14 fathoms' water. The master, Mr. Davidson, states they left Sunderland on Saturday night, and that at 7 o'clock that morning their vessel, the Parker, struck on the Shipwash Sand, and thus occasioned the leak. The wreck lies off the Sizewell Banks with her topgallantmast above water. It is considered impossible to raise her on account of the strong current continually running at that spot. Her crew were safely landed here this morning. For several days past the most painful anxiety has prevailed at this port relative to the fate of a large fishing lugger, the Sea Bird, and her crew of 12 individuals, which left Yarmouth on the night of Sunday, the 13th of last month, on a fishing excursion. Many were of opinion that she had put into some of the French ports until the weather and wind became favourable, but the arrival of the Ceres to-day in the roads clearly proved that the ill fated vessel and crew were totally lost on the following night after leaving Yarmouth: The master of the Ceres (Mr. Shain) states he was in cdmpany with the Sea Bird on that night. They were lying at hnchor off Lowestoff, about 15 or 16 miles from the shore, and about 300 yards apart of each ether, where it was evidently the intention of the Sea Bird to remain for the night. However, on thefollowing morning she was found to have disappeared, and no tidings could be obtained of her until two or three days after, when they picked up a capstan with the words " Sea Bird " branded upon it, clearly showing that the vessel had gone to pieces. They also found other pieces of the wreck which had been identified as belonging to that vessel. Many of the poor fellows who perished were married men, and have left large families en tirely destitute. Information was likewise received yesterday of the loss of a vessel, supposed to be British, on a rock near Ferder Light, in Christiana Flood, on the morning of the 9th. Crew reported to be saved. UNITED STATES. (From our Second Edition of Friday.) The Acadia, Royal Mail Steam Ship, came up the river this morning a little after right. She left Boston on the 2d instant (having been detained a day by the non-arrival of the mails) and Halifax at half-past five on the evening of the 4th instant. She brought papers five days later than those by the Roscius. There is no intelligence of importance. There was not a very heavy demand for bills on London. The quotations were from 6?>. to 6a. The cotton market had been again less active , sales for export being somewhat re tarded by the advanced rates of freight demanded to Liver pool and Havre. Buyers were demanding a corresponding reduction in price, but as far as could he ascertained no va riation had occurred. The transactions on the 29th embraced 700 bales Upland and Florida at 51 to 7 cents, 700 Mobile, 6to 8, and 500 New Orleans 6to at. The arrivals had been 2,945 bales. We quote the following front a New York paper of the 30th ult. The markets present nothing of interest. Produce, par ticularly flour, in consequence of the closing of the canals, has been advancing. Flour—is quoted at 4 dol. 87 cents to 5 dol. Ashes—Pots were taken at 5 374 and Pearls at 5 75. Rice—Sales at 2 69 to 3 124 per 100 lbs. Sugars—are dull. Sales of Porto Rico at 5 1 to 6tc lb. Salt—A cargo of Cadiz sold at about 20c. Coal—Sales of Newcastle, fine, at 4 50 ch ; some Liver pool at 6 75. Coffee—Sales of Brazil are making at 7 to 9c ; of Laguayra at it to 8c ; St, Domingo at 6c, cash. CHARLESTON MARKET, NOV, 26, CorroN.—There was some animation in the Upland mar ket throughout Saturday last, and a fair business was done in the article. The same feeling was also exhibited through out Monday : bnt on Tuesday unfavourable acoounts reached us from the other side, per the Acadia, at Boston, which had the tendency to check operations as buyers withdrew ; but at the opening of the market on Wednesday they were generally in attendance, demanding a reduction in prices ; and as holders yielded, a heavy business has engaged dealers for several days past, at a decline upon all qualities below middling fair, fully cent per lb., in fact in some instances a heavier reduction has been submitted to. Colonel Webb, who had been indicted for giving a chal lenge, had been sentenced to two years' imprisonment, but on a petition numerously signed had been set at liberty. Winter had set in at New York, and snow in large quan tities had fallen. We learn from Canada that the smallpox had been very prevalent in Kingston. Several persons of note bad fallen victims to its ravages.—The Attorney-General, Baldwin, had been defeated in the second riding in York, by Mr. Daggan, and it was anticipated by the supporters of the latter that Mr. Baldwin would be dismissed from the Ex ecutive Council. Advices from Vera Cruz to the 7th nit. has been received in New Orleans. The expedition, consisting of four thousand troops, sailed for Yucatan ; but one of the New Orleans papers says, on the authority of verbal accounts from Vera Cruz, that orders had been received from England for the immediate return of all the British officers and seamen on board the war steamer Guadalupe.—Santa Anna was at his residence at Mango de Clavo, where he had assembled a large body of troops for a body-guard.

GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY ON THE AMERICAN LAKES. (From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Nov. 12.) The gale blew itself pretty much out this morning. The wind is yet high, and an occasional sough may still be heard, but the tempest is over. It was dreadful though while it lasted, or from about noon yeste r d a y until some indetermi nate time last night. The wind blew a perfect hurricane most of the time, and the air was so filled with snow that one could scarcely see twenty yards. The temperature was very low, and altogether it was about the worst gale we ever experienced in Buffalo. Although the damage here has been slight, there must have been much personal suffering in many families poorly prepared for such a fierce advent of the in clemencies of winter. The water in the harbour rose some five feet, but has done little injury other than to inundate the flats, and to obstruct the navigation on the canal. There are rumours of vessels beached upon the lake shore, and of fatal effects therefrom, but as yet no positive information has been ob tained. No arrivals have taken place since yesterday noon. The Rochester packet, due last evening, is still absent, being unable to stem both ice and wind upon the canal. The Chesapeake, bound for the upper lakes, and the Wayne and Fulton for Detroit, are in port, awaiting a favourable oppor tunity to depart. P.S. Since the above was in type we have learned the fol lowing particulars:— The schooner Jefferson, Captain Dougall, went ashore at six o'clock last night, about three miles above Buffalo Light house, and is a total wreck, attended with a melancholy loss of life; one entire family, husband, wife, and five children, together with a young woman, and one of the men belonging to the vessel, having perished. Captain Dougall, from whom we have the painful recital, says that 'about two hours after his vessel beached, the companion-way was washed off, and the children and young woman drowned in the cabin and fore castle. A. portion of the crew had got ashore in qtiest of help, and were endeavouring to rescue the family. The mate wrapped his overcoat around the woman, and tried to keep her warm by walking her to and fro on the beacb,, but she soon became exhausted and incapable of motion, and was placed in the boat which had washed up, where she died in a short time. _ . Her husband was delirious on reaching shore, and at tempted to escape into the swamp near by, but perished within a short distance. One of the hands belonging to the vessel, named James Bruce, got into the swamp, and was likewise lost. The family were from Hartford, Connecticut ; names unknown—the children aged from eight years down wards. The Jefferson was owned by J. W. Ranson, of Chicago, and was bound for that port, with a cargo of 500 brls. salt, 40 tons iron, and some merchandise, which will be mostly lost; shipped by J. Murray and Co., of this city. The crew succeeded about midnight in getting on board the brig Olive Richmond, beached below them, in a greatly ex hausted state. _ _ . _ When our reporter reached the vessel this forenoon, the figure of the young woman above-mentioned was discovered standing iu an upright posture in the forecastle companion way, frozen stark and stiff, with hands partly raised in an imploring posture, and her eyes fixed with a cold and stony gaze upon the shore. The brig Olive Richmond, a new vessel, Captain Dor chester, went ashore about a mile below the Jefferson early yesterday afternoon. She was bound up in ballast, and will be got off without damage. The schooner Walter Joy, Captain Lacy, went ashore about the same time, near the Olive Richmond, with a deck load of flour, which will be partly lost, but the vessel will be got off with trifling injury. The brig Francis Mills, Captain Langley, went on shore on the Canada side, three miles below Point Abino, at two o'clock p.m. yesterday. She lies partly filled with water, by which the lower tier of her cargo, consisting of merchandise, will be injured. She was bound for Chicago and St. Joseph's —will probably be got off. The schooner Edwin Jenny, Captain Davison, dragged her anchors and went ashore below Point Abino, a little above the Francis Mills. She was loading with stone for some port up the lake. (From the Neur-York Express.) We learn that the worst features of all in relation to the late gale have been fully realised ; although the extent of the disaster has not reached us. The pier at Dunkirk is nearly destroyed. The Harrison and Chatauque laid at the wharf there from Sunday till Thursday morning, and much of the time were in imminent danger ; and finally, as a measure of safety, took to the lake, and came into Buffalo, the wind then blowing a gale. The schooner Brandywine, Captain Tubbs, that was also lying at Dunkirk, dragged her anchor on Sa turday night, and that is the last that has been heard of her definitively. One report is, that she went ashore near Silver Creek, and that all on board perished ; and another is that she went down the river early yesterday morning a wreck. She was heavily loaded with flour. The steam-boat Chicago, bound up, is ashore three miles below Silver Creek. She was discovered about nine a.m., on the 19th, off Silver Creek, in distress. The citizens rallied, and followed down the coast, with ropes, to render assistance. She beached at eleven o'clock, and the crew and passengers, to the number of about sixty, were all saved. Her deck freight bad been thrown overboard the night previous, both pipes carried away, and she became unmanageable. The gale struck her between Conneaut and Ashtabula. She may be got of and her cargo saved. Besides these, we hear that the following schooners are ashore on this side, mostly between Buffalo and Silver Creek:—Henry Roop, loaded with 2,000 bushels of corn, Jefferson, W. Joy, Tippecanoe (all on board lost), Ben Franklin, Merchant (Mr. Bogrand, who last year sailed the Favourite, lost), M. Ney (all on board lost), and the brig 0. Richmond. The particulars of the loss of the Jeffer son, W. Joy, and 0. Richmond, were given in Saturday's paper. The schooners report seeing. some twenty miles up the lake, the " fly" of a sunken schooner, supposed to be the Emily. The schooner Merchant lost a couple of hands, names not known, who were washed overboard at Grand River, Ohio. Walter Rossan, a hand on the Jena, was also washed overboard during the gale. The following schooners are ashore on the Canada side, near Gravelly Bay :—lndiana, loaded with salt, a total wreck; Mississippi, Capt. Raymond, for Kingston, loaded with flour and pork, a total ,Areck ; Ohio, Capt. Robertson, loading light ; M. Kingman, high and dry, will probably be got off; and the brig F. Mills, and the schooner E. Jenny, the particulars of whose loss were given on Saturday. A little above Point Abino is the Florida, loaded with flour, pork, and whiskey, for Buffalo. The H. Pierson, which came in during the storm on Saturday, was saved with great difficulty. All her sails are gone, together with her compa nion-way and several spars. There is scarcely a vessel in Buffalo harbour but what suffered much or less. A more fearful gale was scarcely ever known in mid-winter on the Atlantic coast. The brig Hoosier reports passing the steam boat Constellation in a distressed• condition, off the Two Sisters. The Constellation left Buffalo last Wednesday or Thursday. She also reports the schoonek Michigan, with rudder unshipped, at Put-in Bay. BOMBARDMENT AND SURRENDER OF BARCELONA. The intelligence from Barcelona, which comes down by the help of the French telegraph, to the 12th instant, announces the reduction of the place. The bombardment from the fort of Monjuich, which had been inure than once postponed, began at eleven o'clock on the morning of the 3a, and con tinued without interruption until two o'clock next morning. Upwards of nine hundred shots were fired into the city. Van Helen then suspended the bombardment, and called upon the authorities to surrender ; allowing them six hours to disarm the revolutionary corps. During the night, the mob threw off all restraint. and broke open the Town .house. seizinp the treasure of the municipality, besides robbing the houses of the wealthier inhabitants. It is estimated that as much as 200,000 dollars was thus .carried off. In the morn ing, the inhabitants elected a new representative junta ; who, after presiding at the disarmament of " the force that still opposed the general welfare," sent out a deputatio❑ to in form the Captain-general that order was restored, and that he might enter the city with his troops. The junta then addressed a short proclamation to the people, exhorting them to be tranquil, and to "expect every thing from his High ness, the Regent of the kingdom ;" took measures to secure the public safety ; and announced their own resignation. The gates were opened, and Van Helen entered the city with his troops, at five o'clock in the afternoon. The city suffered materially, but the amount of damage and the number of victims were not accurately ascertained. The houses of a square on which the Municipality stands were particularly damaged, and fires had broken out in diffe rent quarters, which were not extinguished on the sth. The crews of the French ships of war had, by the direction of the Consul, landed their engines, and were rendering every assistance. The house of the French Consul had also sus tained some injury. Before the commencement of the bom bardment, the soldiers of the militia proceeded in a body towards the French ship, on board of which their officers had sought refuge, and fiercely demanded their surrender; but the commander ordered them immediately to depart, threat ening to repel them by force if they did not obey his injunc tion. The correspondent of the Times describes the desolate appearance of the place : - " The aspect that Barcelona presents is, it would appear from the accounts which reach the refugees here, formerly inhabitants of that place, of the most melancholy kind : the pavement torn up in the streets, for the purpose of forming barricades; the woollen and cotton goods taken from the warehouses of the merchants, and heaped up in piles to deaden the effect of the shells and round shots ; beds, mat tresses, and every description of household furniture which could be put to a similar use, are employed for the purpose of forming some shelter against those terrible missiles." The correspondent of the Morning Post thus describes the scene:— "BARCELONA, Dec. 6.—The bombardment, thank God, is at an end ; and of the 50,000 to 60,000 persons who fled from the city on the 2d instant, when it was known that the firing would commence on the following day, two-thirds have returned. The city presented a melancholy appearance on 3d, with the shops shut up; and the streets deserted, except by the resisting rabble. Some of the coffee-houses, however, were open during the day and in the evening, and they were crowded with persons, who were sitting as tranquilly as if nothing extraordinary had been going on. It is said that about 1,000 shells and shots were tired ; but, if so, they must have been purposely ill-directed, for the damage, except in a few places, is very trifling for such a quantity of ? projectiles, and a very few lives indeed have been lost. You may sup pose that there was no serious intention on the 3d of doing much damage, when I tell you that the gas lamps were lighted as usual in the evening, and not a lamplighter was injured. In the course of the night, indeed, a few lamps were broken, but that was all. 1 had rather an awkward visitor myself in a cannon ball which fell down my chimney, but it rolled in the most harmless manner near my feet. The greatest damage was at the Hotel de Ville, a portion of the inside of which was burnt. I saw four houses burning at once, but the fire was soon put out. There is not so great a feeling of irritation here against the Regent as might have been expected. The truth is, that the respectable inhabitants were as anxious as himself to put down mob rule." Accounts have been received directly from Barcelona to the 9th. The French papers have talked of daily executions of insurgents; it appears that 200 of the more violent were given up to "condign punishment ;" but only one execution had actually taken place, that of a captain of volunteers, nick named Carcana. The mystery in which the origin of the insurrection was at first involved is now gradually disappearing. The suspicious and meddling part taken in the affair by the French Consul, the lying telegraphic despatches transmitted to Paris, and the lamentations of the Government journals on the failure of the conspiracy, showed that others besides the Christinos and Republicans were mixed up in this atrocious scheme. The Madrid Gazette of the Bth leaves no doubt on the subject. It positively states that it was got up in Paris, and implicates in the plot the French Consul of Barcelona. The Barcelona Constitutional confirms the statement, and openly accuses a " certain Consul " with having been instrumental in creating the revolt. NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER YANG-TSE-KIANG The following letter, dated Yang-tse-Kiang River, August 23d, 1842, from Captain Ord, of the brig Liverpool, will be found to contain many important and interesting particulars relative to this river : " I left Amoy on the 21st May for Chusan, and after a very severe dead beat along a coast and through channels very little known, and almost without charts, with the ex ception of a rough sketch chart, I at length arrived safely at the latter place on the 11th June. I completed loading Bth July, and proceeded to join the convoy lying in the outer harbour; here my misfortunes commenced. Among the Chusan Islands the navigation is the most intricate of any part of the globe, the currents running with fearful rapidity and in whirlpools, and rendering ships totally unmanagea ble, on account of which the accidents that have happened are too lengthy for this letter. On the evening of the Bth I was obliged to anchor'in 28 fathoms in a dangerous part to avoid being driven by the currents on the rocks, where the ship and cargo would have been totally lost. At 10 p.m. the best bower parted ; came to again with the small bower close on the rocks. The windlass having been carried away, rode by the mainmast. This damage was all done by the rush of the tide, there being but little wind. I fired signals of distress, which were promptly answered by her Majesty's ship Thalia, and by several transports, who sent about 70 hands. At four a.m. on the 9th, when the tide ceased, we succeeded in getting the small bower, but not until heaving off one of the arms, which had hooked a rock. After losing another stream anchor and hawser, got into safe anchorage by six a.m. We proceeded with the convoy on the 10th, and after a quick and fine passage arrived at Woosung, in this river, on the 14th of July, where we remained quiet until the 4th of this present month, when we received orders from the senior naval officer at Woosung to proceed to Nan kin, in company with the Beretta Junior, and the Sir Robert Peel, under convoy of her Majesty's ship Harlequin, and reached this point of the river on the Gth inst. It is about 50 miles above Woosung, and about 100 from Nankin. It is the most dangerous part of the river, with rapid tides and shifting banks, so that the channel is very uncertain. The width of the river, at this point, from shore to shore, is about 20 miles. It is now my painful duty to give you an account of the loss of the ship. On the day in question, steering after her Majesty's ship Harlequin, we observed her sud denly ground. The Liverpool's anchor was immediately let go, and in turning round she grounded also. The two other j transports, being a little more astern, dropped their anchors also, and avoided the bank, which is not correctly laid down on the chart. We had immediate assistance from the trans ' ports, and when the ship was once again swinging to the stream the capstan gave way, and the bare end of the hawser being passed, slipped, and the ship was then immediately forced on the bank again, and all efforts to get her off failed. In the meantime her Majesty's ship Harlequin had got off. On the Bth, blowing strong with a swell, the vessel strained a good deal and became leaky ; on the 10th we commenced discharging the cargo into the junks on the ebb and throwing overboard on the flood, as they could not then lay alongside. We toiled incessantly, day and night, with every possible assistance; but on the 11th I was convinced the ship would become a wreck, there being six feet water in the hold and both pumps constantly going. I then, with the assistance of a number of hands from her Majesty's ship Harlequin, commenced saving and putting on board the junks every valuable article either to owners or underwriters. At this period the ship had broken her back. On the 18th I aban doned the wreck, nearly buried in the mud, and divided the crew on board the two junks. " P.S., Sept. 11.—Since writing so far, we have reached within seven miles of Chin-Kiang-Foo (the last taken place by the English), 45 miles from Nankin. Peace is now con cluded, and the fleet leave on the 12th inst. The whole of the fleet, consisting of seven sail, have been on shore some three or four tunes, so intricate is the navigation of this river." QUICK PosT TO CHlNA.—Extract of a letter, dated Macao, September 18, 1842 :—" I owe you an acknowledg ment of your very kind and friendly letter, of the 28th of May, which reached me among the earliest of that month's overland—viz., on the 4th of August, which was only 60 days after their despatch from London—the quickest post on re cord to this part of the world, considering the whole was brought from Bombay to this in a sailing vessel." REMARKABLE STREAM.—At the bottom of a wood be longing to W. Turton, Esq., of Knowlton. in Flintshire, is a rill of water which empties itself into the river Dee, and when a person strides across it he is in the kingdom of Eng land, the principality of Wales, in the provinces of Canter bury and York, and the dioceses of Chester and Lichfield and Coventry, in the counties of Flint and Salop, in two townships, and in the ground of Mr. Turton and his neighbour. FUDGE !—lt is rumoured, that within these few days a letter has been received by her Majesty from the King of the French, strongly recommending the recognition of the Pope as the head of the church, stating as a reason for such extra ordinary counsel, the universal peace at present prevailing throughout the world. As might have been expected, it is said to have created a great sensation in the Palace. We have also heard that the Pope is expected to consecrate in person, of course with unusual splendour, the Rornish cathe dral now erectinc , in the neighbourhood of Westminster abbey.—Edinburgh Witness. Loss OF LIFE IN A COLLIERY.—A melancholy accident occurred yesterday week at Fenwick Colliery near Belford, by which two young men (brothers) lost their lives. Five persons were working in the pit at the time, and from the ac count of the three survivors, it appears that suddenly an un usual noise was heard, and on turning to discover from whence it came, they were horror-struck on seeing the colliery rapidly filling with water, occasioned, it is supposed, by one of the men having unguardedly encroached upon the division between them and a long disused part of the works. Three of them immediately rau and seized hold of a rope, whereby they reached the top. The remaining two unhappily perished.—Newcastle Journal. RAILWAY COMMUNICATION TO HOLYHEAD.—The Ches ter Chronicle says, "In the ensuing session we hope to see a Bill passed by the legislature to form a railway from the station a Chester, running through the coal and mineral dis tricts of North Wales to Wrexham, plans of which were lodged on the 30th ult. at the proper offices ; and though this railway is principally iltended for the local trnffic of our neighbourhood, it will be an imortant step in advance of the route to Holphead, as it will pass through the suburbs of Chester, crossing the river Dee, and run about four miles in the direct line to Holyhead ; and we are happy to add, we have every reason to believe the parties engaged in this under taking have the ability to accomplish their object, in which they have our good wishes." IMPORTANT TO COUNTRY ATTORNEYS : SESSIONS AP PEALS AND PROSECUTIONS.—It is of considerable import ance to our professional readers that they should be made aware of a recent decision in the Court of Queen's Bench materially affecting the course of quarter sessions practice. In the case of "The Queen against Long, Esq.," which is reported in the last number of the Queen's Bench Reports, by Messrs. Adolphus and Ellis (new series), just published, the judge of that court decided, that where a court of quarter sessions, acting under the authority of a statute, makes an order for the payment of costs must be by the act of the court, and must be completed before the court is dissolved, by the termination of the sessions: and that any t axa ti on o f cost which takes place after the final close of the sessions is inoperative. It therefore follows, that all attorneys who have any appeal, prosecution, or other business at any court of quarter sessions having power to award and tax costs, must take care that those costs are taxed, and the order for pay ment perfected during the continuance of the same sessions at which they are ordered, otherwise the order for the pay ment of them will be of not effect.

TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 20, 1842• We presume it is not at us that Mr. Christopher Bushell pointed, on Wednesday last, when he talked of dictation being exercised towards gentlemen who differed from what have certainly, ever, been our opinions upon the education question, and what we can remember—and we have not greatly to fatigue our memory in remembering—as being his own declared opinions, and no doubt his sincerely-entertained opi nions, so far as he knew his own mind, upon that question. We have never presumed to entertain any such dictatorial powers as those alluded to by the member for Abercromby Ward. We impeach no man's sincerity who differs from us, upon the subject of the system of education to be carried out in the Corporation Schools; and we do not now impeach Mr. Bushell's sincerity, or his wisdom. But, how ever averse we may he to dictate, or to be dictated to, and however averse Mr. Bushell may be to be the object of our censure or of any other party's censure, we shall not allow ourselves to be deprived of the li berty of telling a gentleman, whose past actions and declared sentiments have always led us to believe that he was " one of us," that we have ceased to regard him as a consistent and faithful member of the party to which it is our pride to belong. We can quite appreciate the sincerity and the purity of motive of some gentlemen, of Conservative and otherwise sound principles, whose names we are sorry to observe in the list of the minority at Wednesday's Council meeting. From some of these gentlemen, no inflated professions have emanated in time past. They came into the Council unfettered by such professions. They owe their seats in the Council to no such pro fessions ; and they can vindicate the course which they have pursued, upon the broad ground that it has been shaped by a sincere conviction, of long standing, and perfectly consonant with the tenor of their past pro fessions and opinions. Gf Mr. Bushell can we say this ? We fear not. It will be a matter of infinite difficulty, we are satisfied, to reconcile his present to his past course, upon the question of education—to reconcile himself with himself ; and however delicate he may be in making the comparison, he must not complain of us if, despite of any imputation which we may incur of being guilty of dictation, we make the attempt. At the present moment, however, we shall refrain from doing so. It would be cruel towards Mr. Bushell, however well merited, on his part, that cruelty on ours. We refrain, too, the more readily, because we see—and that circumstance does not add much to the respect in which we would wish to hold him—that Mr. Bushell is, at present, scarcely at ease with him self, with respect to the position which he has chosen to occupy : for although advocating, to their full ex tent, the principles involved in the amendment of Mr. G. H. Lawrence, he voted, we observe, against that amendment, sheltering himself in an unworthy evasion —for in no other light can his own little scheme be viewed. If there is an insuperable objection—to a man who has advocated different principles—in the one scheme, there is equal objection in the other; and there is this in favour of Mr. Lawrence's, that with its adoption the requirements of the law may possibly be recognised, whilst with that of Mr. Bushell they never can. Upon one point we would make a suggestion to Mr. Bushell. We admire the liberality with which he offered the aid of his purse, to afford scriptural edu ' cation to such of the children of the poor as might be dispossessed of the advantages, at present afforded them, by the adoption of any " liberal" scheme of secular education, or the abandonment, by the Council, of the office of providing education at all. We would gladly see such benevolence assume a tangible shape; and we would suggest a course in which it might flow, and at the same time produce peace with regard to this much-agitated question. Let Mr. Bushell leave the Corporation Schools in their present legal system of management, and display his liberality by subscribing his promised hundred pounds towards the secular schools which he would have established. No doubt he would find abundance of " liberal " friends who would aid him in so excellent a work ! We should like, at least, to see the experiment tried. It was very vulgar in Mr. David Hodgson—so at least thinks Mr. Blackburn—to sneer, in his speech on Wednesday se'nnight, at the profession or trade of an opponent. What a pity that Mr. Blackburn and his party have never before made this notable discovery ! We have heard gentlemen, in the council and out of it,—" thinking men" and other men,—talk about grains and barm, double XX and single X ; and ima gine all the time that they were supremely witty; but to talk of senna or rhubarb, it appears, is course be yond expression. A brewer, a lawyer, or a tradesman of any description, is a fitting mark for the refined sar casm of an Earle or a Blackburn to shoot at; but a surgeon and apothecary, a pestle or a mortar, gallipots, potions, pills, powders, and other appendages and ap pliances of the healing art, are sacred things, and must not be jested withal ! We can agree, to some extent, with Mr. Blackburn with respect to the inviolability of his own profession— that physic, like edged tools, should not be lightly handled. All poets and philosophers have recognized the axial calling which the worthy councillor pursues.. Even the enemy of mankind, we are told by the wise and witty Coleridge, was struck, when " He saw an apothecary on a white horse, Pursuing his avocations," with a lively sense of the sublimity of his profession; for, though " he laughed," it was because " it put him in mind Of DEATII, in the Revelations." But there have been a few—and those not by any means coarse or vulgar writers—who could see nothing more sublime and sacred in a gallipot, than a tundish or a gimlet. Shakspeare, the immortal, has painted an apothecary—a lean, starved wretch—who is anything but an amiable character. John Dryden, we believe— glorious John—asks— " What 's expected from a horse, With an apothecary on its back ?" a significant intimation that he bad no overpowering respect for the profession: After all, therefore, the world is divided upon this point ; and a witty or a daring wight, who happens to bold an opinion opposed , , : ,E .“ ( , CV 1 r{ to that of 3lat he m as he may 18 scarcely constantly as philos( butchers, shall new We denour religiously other peol " play at t may expec their Press jogs of May be coi garity and The fri( adrninistrat Puzzle eve . discover tl Plenty ; Cc ists, freetr politicians : rarely, ever be a lusus make the fc served of a The read a sphinx in point to the which have sheet, in I Lords Palo abuse of the and Ellenb is only an a question, it address him the soft imF to the gods the authors no countem Muth intell from a Ilan overt acts day by day : and individ shadow—a If shape Which exist found in Ii There, peril of the ex-fi big own soli The wor For the unl Indian polic '.
