don of the Menstrum with which it is prep ared. To such persons

System at large. It is taken in Water, rendering it of the same
strength as the Decoction.

the custom is to charge from Its. to 16a. per chaldton on the market

the meters to send out short measure. There is neither brick nor

timber work erected to prevent customers from seeing the coals
safely delivered into the waggons out of the craFt ; nor are there
warehouses intervening to deposit the Coals taken out of the rooms.
He requests his customers to desire the carman to measure any of
the Racks in the waggon, in order to prove that each contains throe
fair bushels instead of two bushels and a half. The carman sub-
jects himself to a penalty of •201. for refusing. He recommends
persona who purchase from other Coal Illerchants at 7s. or its.
higher in price, to take the hint ; as it is a custom in the trade to
make the good pay for the bad.

tides of wearing apparel, silver spoons, fix. value in all about 401.
On examining lb premises he found thedoor had been forced open.
mid the floors strewed with thirgs they had left in their hasty •
retreat. There were two hats left in the kitchen, which belonged
to soe than.
Mr Frederick Pace, brother to the last witness, stated, that be 1
lainiesliately went in search of the burglars, and applied in the first
instance to John AP Kerny, the watchman stationed near the pre-
mises, but this car !ful guardian was fast asleep, or pretending to be
SO, and when applied to he refused to air from his post. On
going into Charles-street he met it, prisoner

ply of plum-pudding; that there would be no beating; that they
were induced to run away, from the beating and Wness of the

Mr. BENNETT—And do you work every night in this manner?
The boys said that every other week they were working all night.
This was admitted by the foreman.
Mr. 111:xwavr expressed Me Indignation at this system of op-
prevision, particularly on boys of their tender years. He then de.
aired that on no account whatever should they be sent back to the
nulls, but that they should be returned to the workhouse ; and or-
dered the prisoner to be held to bail for the assault.

DLATII FROM PRINKING.—On Friday and Saturday I
evenings an inquest was held before Mr. 'heed]. one of the Coroners
for Cambridee, on the hotly of Richard Cooper, who, in t.argaining
for the sale of a dog to 31r. Dykes, of Trinity College, said he must
have something to drink, hut was desired to go away. Ile was a
little into::icsted, and persisting in not having " a dry bargain."
Jr. Sprot, a friend of Mr. Sykes:, poured a quantity of brandy
into a tumbler, part of which L'ooper drank; twice afterwards
brandy was poured into the glass, and the whole he took appears
to have been nearly throe quarters of a pint. Cooper left the gen-
demi?' lodgings, and soon afterwards fell down in the street, when
he was conveyed to Mr alproes stable, where he lay for some time,
when a surgeon being sent for, be bled the deceased, and sent some
medicine, which he took, and seemed somewhat easier. The
surgeon stated that he found the deceased lying in the stable, with
the usual symptoms of apoplexy. which might hare been promoted
through the liquor the deeeastil had taken, as it was known that
he was very asthmatic. It appeased that, during the time Mr.
Sy keys friend was in the room, no incitement or persuasion was
used by Mr. Sykes or Mr. Spent to urge or induce the deceased to
drink the brandy. hilt that lie drank it toluntarily as it was set be-
, fore him. When the deceased appeared to breathe easier, he was
wheeled home in a barrow from Jesus-lane to New Town, with
some straw and a sack of chaff to lay his head on. lie was inure.
distely undressed and put into a wants bed, and remained perfectly
insensible till about half-past one in the morning. when he expired.
—The Jury, after a long consultation, returned their verdict—
" That the deceased died through evtessive drinking of brandy,
imprudently given Ilim by Mr. Sykea and Mr. Sprot.".—Barg

GAME LAWS.

Mr. S. WORTLEY—prese;tel;PeTition from Huddersfield,
against the Game Laws.
BANKERS IN IRELAND.
Sir 11. PARNELL presented a petition from the merchants of
Belfast, praying for some alteration in the laws relating to bankers.
The laws, as they were now framed on this subject. seemed formed
for the impute of excluding every man of property from die busi-
ness of a hanker.
The I'HANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the
subject alluded to in the petition was well d • attention.
Sir J. NEWPORT supported the petition. y one of the
clauses of one of the moat objectionable Acts on this subject, no
banker in behind was permitted: even for a valuable consideration,
to make a settlement open his daughter at the time of her marriage.
Mr IRVING supported the petition.

DRAINING OF THE DOGS OF IRELAND.

A meeting is advertised, at which a mopoaition will be Made WA
form • t:ompany, with • view to this truly national object. It has
already excited great public interest, and we have no doubt that
the subscription hat will be immediately filled up. For this par-
kpose, we imagine that Government aid might be obtained; but wit
confess we should rather see the matter entrusted to the emnpriaa
of individuals. Here, too, English capital mar be applied with
success. Our bogs are not like the marshes of England, or Dart-
moor Heath ; they are really valuable, with the exception, pee-
-1
haps, of a considerable part of the bog of Allan. But even this
extensiie moor is capable of being turned to use. A great pan of
it is a dead level, no doubt, but it still forms part of the table Lad
of Ireland. It is considerably, perhaps 100 feet, above the level of
the sea. One consideration, however, we should beg leave, iw the
veer first instance, distinctly to premise, and it is this--that none
of the reclaimed land shall be subject ti tithe, or to church rates of
any k.nd. For we know that it his often occurred, that when a
few acres of bog were reclaimed, the church came down and wept
awiy all the profits. Tithes are severe enoug.i, and suTefently
large, on the old land ; ..t all events, let the new be sawed from the
infliction.—Du Fn, m a is* Juin nal.

SILK TRADE.

Sir T. LET llBRlDliklprestm presented a petition from persons en-
gaged in the silk trade, residing in Shepton Mallet.He was ea.
tremety desirous of knowing from the Right Hon Gentleman if he
had yet determined as to the towns to be set apart for the reception
of the stock of silk upon a hick there was to be made a remission
of duty.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that in.
atructions hail been given to the Customs to direct proper officers
to proceed in the first instance to the sea-port towns, from which ex-
portations usually took place. They would subsequently proceed
to such places as would appear upon consideration the most gene-
rally convenient.
Mr. ELLICE took that opportunity of inquiring of the Right
lion. Gentleman, whether dyed silk was to be considered as a ma-
rufactured snide.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It must, I
should think, be regarded as in a manufactured state.
Mr. WODEHOUSE presented a petition from the Minister
and Churchwaidens of Walton, in Norfolk, praying fora repeal of
the duty on coals.
