accused was not acquitted, his punishment would
be at most very slight No one, even his enemies,
expected a sentence like that which has been pro-
nounced upon him ; for the Criminal Court of Es-
lingen has condemned him to ten months of hard
labour. This condemnation has excited general
astonishment, because the punishment carries in-
famy with it, and not only causes the person to lose
his place as a deputy, but deprives him of the right
of filling any public function whatever.

THE NEW RUSSIAN TARIFF.
weimiND

The sacrifices made in a hundred ways by the
English Government to perpetuate and increase the
commercial intercourse between this country and
Russia appear to be reciprocated most enigmatically

lish product, which are still permitted to be imported

—Yet, for a Government so decidedly hostile to
England's best interests, our Ministers oppose a tax
upon the importation of their tallow—a tax which
would either be very productive to our revenue, or
very beneficial to our grazing interests (a most im-
portant branch of the agricultural community), by
raising the price of English tallow.
