PCONOMY IN THE USE OF HOPS.

Idiom of the press, and deal prevails been fettered by a law
so capricious, that no man be safe from its penalties ;
or, if Government bad so meaning in this solemn pledge
but to mislead philanthropitim, why not now boldly say,
that we keep India merely because it yields us a revenue,
colisumi our manufactures firt4.4atuations (above mum!
and below ) for younger brother, and poor relations, and
~
we wail not hear of any improvoment which may endanger
so profitable a poixes•ion. (The Court of Dint-tore have
almost said this.) 'l'hia would he fair and lionest--people
would weltrstand wheolsey were about, and we should
have no inure cant or hilinhog on the subject.
There ten b.' no doubt that it is neessary that a control
he exerted over every government, somewhere or other, and
I this is admitted by Mr. Mani in a pamphlet which he
published after he bad banished Mr. Buckingham. By-
the-bye, a wurd ra to this pamphlet, as illustrative of the,
fairness of lotlian Government. Mr. Adam first banishes I
Buckingham—then fetters the press—then, when he has I
prevented the possibility of a reply, writes a pamphlet,
exculpating himself and abusing his opponent. This
remind, us of a lubberly Chinese, who received a drubbing
from an English sailor at Canton ; "lly ya," says the disci-
pie of Confucius, " Suppose man bob! him hands, then,'
vele% much I bamboo he too."
Where then is this salutary contronl to exist ? Not in
the Court of Direettns, for it is their interest to wink at
abuses, and not to correct them. Not in the Court of Pro-
prietors, for they generally know no more of India than as
a place that yields them dividends. Not in the Board of
Contruul,Yor the head of it generally fines it for his ad-
vantage totality on good terms with the Court of Directors;
and besides, if the truth were told, there are more members
of that hoard than the worthy Mr. Creevey, who :night,
with justice, chant*—
" WMu I was in cake, 0 dies!
" I d—d all dm Blade's, IstA'd sot at the window.
" Aed asmetinits I 'modal a pea, pes." Ac.
Not by the English paptvs, for they neither know nor care
about the matter. Nor in I t ngland at all, for it is far too
distant, both as to "ace and time, either to prevent or re-
medy evil. Where, then, are we to find an effisetifte con-
trail over the Governor and officers of our Indian empire,
but in a vigorous and well-regulated press upon the spot ?
One word more anti I have done : Mr. Buckingham
has been banished from Calcutta without trial or accusa-
tion ; his property hap been injun.sl; his motives arraigned,
unit be deprived himself of the power of reply. The rights
granted by Parliamentary charter to 1000)0.000 of people
have been removed by the fiat of an individual, temporarily
exercising the functions of Governor G. nerd. Where
have been the advocates of the liberty of the press ?
where the supporters of Carlile and Hone ? where the
Manchester mob patriots? when'. the friends of Captain
O'Callaghan ? why, of the whole Whig party, have we only
Instil those of least influence, the retbse, the very whip-
pers-in of the pack, on the subject? why hare we foiinti the
ereat Whigs of the India House strenuously defending Mr.
Adair ? Gentle reader, I can solve tlAt riddle: Mr.
Adam's father, the Chief Comniissioner of the Jury Court
of Scotland, is the most useful man the Whig party pos.
seas: his influence can place a Whig advocate on the
Bench whose age and infirmities have renders(' him unable
to gain a livelihood at the liar. By his influence a Court,
almost every officer of which is a Whig, has been esta-
blished and maintained, against the cpinion of the Beech,
Bar, and people of Scotland. So the Whigs .aunt annum
to quarrel with such a man for a trifle ; and when the
solid pudding of pension and place is weighed against the
empty praise of duty and patriotism, these enlightened,
high-mindad, incorruptible patriots would, in the words of
a celebrated statesman, sell ow constitution to Paster John,
and a' our boasted liberties to the Great Mogul.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

Modern research ja evgry day bdnging to light new and
valuable faeu., and we make it a point of duty to bring the
most awful of these before opt readers. The extensive
'family use of hops in home-httsting, and the usual high
price in the market, r• name it ftt importance to know the
properties of the article. Ire- se, therefore, greatly in-
debted to Dr. lees, of &est York, who informs us that he
l iou
has clineover..l the part et the 'in which all the useful
qualities reside, the rest being refuse.
l'he hop has two mom of flo , the male and the fe-
male, which grow on different . It is the female
Bowers or cants, or catkins, as ire sometimes called,
which are alone used in brewing. he male plant is called
the wild hop. The lio:n are compbard of scales of • plain
greenish colour, and rolled in *at the base. Dr. Ives in-
forms vs, that he finds the base if( these scales or leaves
coverts! by a very delimits:shining yelloiv grain, of &golden
vArtopi lustre, falling into a powder ha toe to the touch NA
of a pleasant aromatic smell. golden powder De.
Ives found to be so abundant, as faro about a sixth
part of the gross w.ight of thoz ' as brought to
market.

In this powder our informant aka soctertained that the
t
li
whole value of the hop resides, letiVes themselves
being quite inert and useless. Ile Ibis powder is
usually neglected or thrown awry veers, who are
not aware of its value. We cannot to this, but if it
is so, the error cannot be too soon corrected. I his valuable
powder,c &if which is now known to • by the name of
btpaline is easily separated by th dsifting from
the useless leaves of the hops. Sit of bop% from
the market ought, on AU average, to produce ontal=
twzrth lupuline, and this will go nearly a f fardwr
than using bops in the gross. &novel of Dr. Ives
will giveus an infallible test of gAlkur of hops.
Tisk is of very great %tortoise, lisili to briwers and to
families who brew their own beer, .and may, if they are
careful, save them many a pound on the purchase of the
article. If you look into any of the books on brewing, you
will see how much at a loss they are for a test of the
value of hops. " They must be chosen," says one, "by
their bright green colour, sweet smell, and clamminess when
rubbed in the hand." " Rub," says another, " a few
hop pods strongly in the palm of the hand, and if they are
good, an oily, rich, or resinous substance will be percepti-
ble, accompanied by a most fragrant smell. The friction
should produce a quantity of fine yellow dust, called by the
trade, coadition in which the Tidiness of the bop, in part,
consists, as does its strength in the oily or resinous sub-
stance." This is a little nearer the mark, but still the
error is great, and might mislead the buyer into very im-
Pr?Ppurchases.
he only test of course is, that the powder described so
accurately by Dr. Ives should be abundant, constituting
about a sixth of the gross weight, and it should be of a
clear bright golden colour. .

TREATMEN7' OF RHEUMATISM.
[From the Family ddvismi
As rheumatism is a sort of inflammation always brought
on by cold, there can be no doubt that our best plan of
cure is to take a course which will oppose that cause and
its efforts. Perspiration, which has been confined by shut-
ting up the pores of the skin, must be restored to its
healthy state; for the clammy and partial perspiration
just described does hide svelte so long as the skin is tense
and harsh, and will not let the sweat escape earoigh it
freely. Our first object then must be to opts the pens of
the akin ; and for this purpose se know nothing superior
to the warm bath, o- the vapour bath, followed up by the

Oriental llub. July 21.

from his great enxiety to return to the Gardens, he was'
forwarded to Frnme, where he was welcomed by crowds of 1:
the inhabitants ; and he was returned to Sydney-gardens

MR. W. RAIIIRDIN Rositisox.--The Jurors who'
' found Mr. Robinson guilty on one of the charges of rob- I
bery at the Ohl Balky, have addressed a letter to a Morn-
mg Papa, complaining of a statement which had been
made, in which it was said, " That the Jury. subsequently
to the verdict, expressed their regret at the circumstance cf
their having given such a vet diet, having done it under an
erroneous impression." They now declare that this state-
meat is unequivocally false, and that they are " perfectly
and conscientiously convinced of the prisoner's guilt." The
letter is signed by eleven of the Jurors. As to the twelfth,
they say lie his absent from London, and not in possession of
what has occurred. They however'say, they " feel not
the least he. itntion in pledging themselves that it will sub-

answer to Louis XIV., who was one day touching him on
this point with a sort of haughty ind-oddresse, deserves
to be remembered:—" Sire, when I fought for your Ma-
jesty I 441 not consider whether you, religion was different
from mine." The sun of Duquesne being forced into
exile, after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, retired
into Switzerland, where he purchased of Tavernier, the:
traveller, the estate of Aubonne, whither he conveyed the
body of his father, which he hall been obliged to bury se-
cretly, anti engraved on his tomb-stone the following re-
markable inscription :—" La Ilullande a fait eriger un
inausoleie a lk Ruyter, et la France a refuse un pen de

leumn to De Ruvter, and France refuses a little earth to his
conquer.n." Thus Duquesne, who had served his country
with so much zeal and glory, was expatriated, and in a
manner exiled, after his death. The inscription which
has covered his ashis for now more than a century, accord-
ing to a muslin, historian, is yet in existence.

crntlNG r. THnit,roX.

Thu► was a part-heard motion resumedfrom Wednesday. The
subject miter was the will of the late Colonel Thornton. of sport-
ing notoriety. It will be remembered that the Colonel, la the way
of his sporting speculations, contracted debts to a very large amount,
retired to France front the troublesome claims of his creditors, be-
' came domiciled and naturalized In that country, purchased aa es-
tate to which a French Slarquisate was attached, received the Royal
letters patent of nobility, sold the land and the title, made a will in
favour of an illegitimate daughther, to the eadusion of a legitimate
one, and concluded his career by dying. Pan of the devised pro-
perty was in F:niehicrl, part in France; the will had been proved
before the Ea lesiastical Court of Canterbury ; the executer appoint-
ed by the testator was a Dr. Curling. The object, of the motion
made by Mr. tthadwell on Wednesday, was an injunction to re-
strain Dr. Curling from acting as executor relatively to the pedperty
of the deceased. The main ground of argument in support of the
motion was of an indicative nature. It was alleged that (:olonol
Thornton was a domiciled subject of France at the time he executed
the testamentary document. The law of France held a bequest to
an glegitimate child null and void during the existence of a kziti-
mate one. The Colonel had violated that enactment by excludisg
his legitimate daughter term his property, and bequeathing it to he
illegitimate ; the will was therefore invalid relatively to the French
law, and should be looked at in the game light by the English
Courts. The executor could not thaelere have any power over the
property under the authority of an invalid instrument.
Mr. NEWLAND WM proceeding to follow dlr. Stedwell in the
same line of argument yesterday morning,, when
The Loan Cuss NCELLOR declared agy Naha argumentation
on the subject unnecessary. The will had been proved, and ad-
mitted in the Ecclesiastics' Courts to be a valid instrument. His
Lordship could not emsitler it in any other character after .uch a
decision ; the principle of the present motion woo, without pre.
cedent, quite new. kits Lordship had no authority to contradict
the Ecclesiastical Court on the point; he could not, therefore,
dismiss the executor.
The SOLl'''. ',.GEW,"- table

_.."I.ICIIOII4IEXERAL said, the unts...e question to this
case was, whether Colonel Thornton walla Yorkshire fiticon..v and
sporting character, or • French Marquis. It would come to nothing
in the end ; there would be no property remaining, after the Eng-
lish creditors should be paid. There was no motley to ground the
question between the French and English law. The effects in
France were sold, and the produce deposited in the French Court
of Chancery, the Court of Premier Instance of the Department

land was almost exceeded by the sum of the English debts. It
WWI better that the litigation should end, and the relics u: the pro-
perty sand fur the creditors.
Mr. Hinter followed on the sane side, and contended, that the
property ought to be converted to the payment of the numerous
English eminent.

The I.nan Cu ANCE ((on was shindy of mini, ti that he could
say nothing against the validity of the will after it had been ad.
milted in the Ecclesiastical Courts. As to the allegation, that ('ol.
Thornton was a domiciled Frenchman, his Lord,hip would not
sabscribe to it. In feet, the Colonel appeared by his very will to
have considered himself domiciled Vorkahireman. As to the pro.
ceedingeon the point before the French law Courts, his Lordship
had tcctived them from some quarter, but had not looked at them,
as he had come thing else to do.
Mr. SIIADWE L.I. wished to state tobis Lordship rather a curious
fact relative to them. Judgment had been lean:minced on the Mt
in one Court. The party defeated carried the mutter befiare the
French l'ouvt of Appeals. The Judge having it and the a-gu-

meets, said he would not give jtuhplicit until be ,hauld have heard
how his Lordship the English Chr.hcellor should have decided the

question.
The LORD CHANCELLOR felt obliged to the French Judge ;
but at to what constituted a domicile in the eve of the I:isv, was a
very nice and difficult question. Ills Lordship remembered that
the Parliament decided, that if a British subie:t, suppose a &MI6-
CAA VOrkshirrillan, went out in the Ku g's atrvice to the Last
Indies, and died there, they held that he died its the diocese of

York but if he went out On his own btoinebo, or any other than

I the public service, and died abroad, in that case he vex 6tIJ to
have died in the diocese of Canterbury. . subject changing his
residence for the service of the mine was nut supposed to have
changed his domicile ; such was the nicety of the law on the con-
stituvnt principle of domicil:.—Motion dismissed.

The Pleadings having bwcnOpe- ned,
Alf. sergeant VAUGHAN stated the plaintiff's ewe to the Jury,
and intornied thou that the present acuou was brought for the
recovery of 7251. the amount of 236 quarters of wheat, at W. Is. Id.
rait.
per quarter, surd by the plaintiffs, cornfartors in (,Iso Pliers,
to the defendant, a meal-nun, at Newport, Lite of W l anti
connected with Bennett, Smith, and Co. lie should lib evi-
dence that the defendant himself looked at some owe at the stood
of the plaintiff's, in Aluk-lute, on the 7,h, and on the eth bar-
gained for the corm in qnestion at 61s. Id. ; and on being asked for
his christian name, in order to make out the sole note, be said you
may either put down the torn to me, or to Smiths. Oa the 12th
of .t pril Smiths became insolvent. It was publicly known on the
Itlth in the com-niarket. The defendant had freighted a vessel
with this corn, and returned himself to Newport about the IWi.
tin the 14th, with wicked speed, he hastened up to town agaia oft
hearing of the insolvency of the Smiths, and now sought to shelter
himself under the plea that the bill of sate of the wheat wee made
out to the Smiths.

wheat. On the 11th be came again to oursSW, and looked at VG
quarters of wheat. and bid a price for it to Mr. John %Vouslley.
Ile bid Gls. Gd. which Mr. John Woodley refused at first, and the
defendant left the stand. In a few minutes after 31r. Woodley
called nie, and I think Mr. Paul has bid me a fair price, nu:
after him, and tell him he shall have Me wheat at 61s. Gd. I we'd
after the defendant, and told him that Mr. %Voodley wished to
open an recount with bhp, and therefore would let hlm have the
wheat at that price. He said, very well, then I will take it. I
then asked Mr. Part his Christian name. in order to book the
wheat to him. Ile said it was John," but continued, you may
either book it to me or Smith*, it Is 'wanly the same third. I was
then coming to the stand, and Mr. Paul called me and said., " the
wheat is for me, but yea may as well bookie a Smitba." On the
14th Mr. Paul called again and asked far a Sale Note; I gave him
one as follows :—" SIM Mr. John Paul :lei quarters of wheat, at
Gls. fa," and signed it with my initials, ter Messrs. Woolley.

bible that he could have been so roar as to have heard what paws/
between Mr. Woodier and the defendant, without my strein,,
him. I will undertake to say that he was not there. I saw Paul
again on the 14th April, tchen he asked me fur a Sae No.e. That
