Mr. Wiieou having opened the pleadings— , --
The SoLictros-Gu AAAAA stated the case. It was an infor-
mation diming the defendants, as manufacturers and @coverers
of cloth is the neighbourhood of Huddersfield, with defrauding the
revenue at various times. The defendants, in the coarse of their
trade, see obliged to use a considerable quoritity of sap, for which
they are allowed a drawback, bosom soap pays adsty of id. or
rd..per pound at the time of its manufacture. The Act requires
that the person who is allowed the drawback should keep an exact
account of all the soap he purchases, as well as produce the in.
voices to the officer, in order that the amount of drawback might be
allowed ; in default of which a penalty of MIL is attached to each
offence. The defendant had besides altered the invoices, stating
that larger quontities of map hod been purchased then had actually
been, for which another penalty of MC is imposed; so that the
officer was deceived as to the quantities of soap the 4de/slants had
used; and these offences having been committed on various occa-
sions, a great ni•mber of pemltie• were now sought to be re.

--The Learned Counsel called several witnesses, from whose eel-
AMY it appeared, that, upon the visits of the officers to the dam-
dent's premises at different times, they saw the son -allowance
book, in which were varkus entries of soap purchased at different
times of Mr. Downing, of Hudderefield, and, on being required,
be produced invoices to the ball amount, so as to correspond with
the soap-allowanee book.
Mr. Downing and his daughter deposed, that all the invoices
produced had been altered front small quantities to very large
ones ; the defendants had purchseed of 31r. Downing maa. quer-
titles, and received invoices for every parcel ; but the figures re-
lating to the masonic", as well as the pricer, had been mate-
rially altered.
Mr. Thomas Duman, a soap-manufacturer, of Huddersfield,
on being shown an invoice in his name, declared he knew nothing
of it whatever.
Mr. Mtv.wirs said, he asehl set object to the sin first counts
of the information, provided the evidence was satisfactoti to the'
fury; but he put it to the Jury to aar, ethathet
men like the defendants would have best

Yount tv Aot...—A most respectable lady residing in
the country has Tong passed her smith of life, unaccompanied
hitherto by the tunal concomitants of decline: het health is firm,
her spirits buoyant, her person pleasing, awl so slightly impairal
by time, that the ravaging hand of the universal visitor is by no
means in strongly palpable recognition. Neither does she show,
"the snowy wreaths of age, the monuments of care," for her head
is adorned by nature with glossy auburn ringlets, which, combined
with espial:titre fine features and fascinating vivacity of conversa-
tion, give to this very interesting lady the semblance of youth in
age. The following metrical epistle, the effusion of her pen,
shows, however, that she has a great reliance on the long-expe-
rienced vittues of a celebrated specific for the maceration Of her
tremors :

now long Father Time may his ravages spare,
1 know not; but yet I a fine heed of hair
Retain ; and shall still, as I fondly presage,
Havre from decay, through the winter of age.
I owe not this gut to the forbearing hand
Of Time, but specific, both potent and bland,
My tresses that guards from tyrannical sway,
And turns into auburn when verging on grey !
Then pray, Messieurs Rowland, attack still to foil,
A dwell now send of your MlCallelllr Oil.
