THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION.

This day wrs.publi,lied, piss One Shilling.
A. CATECHISM of the BRITISH CON-
STITUTION, in PRINCIPLES and ACTION.

By Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS,

Authcr of Troatisjs on the Duties of Sheriffs, and on the Powers of

Juries

This tract is intended to supply a desideratum in the Education
of the British people. More persons talk about the Constitution
than understand it ; and others are eloquont about Education who
contribute nothing to its extension. All ought to understand a
Constitution so justly extolled, and it ought to be engrafted on every
system and degree of Education.

The very Popular reception that these Papers have already re-
ceived by the Public Press, and which has already considerably in-
creased the sale of the " MONTHLY MA GA ZINE," has induced
the Proprietor to publish them in Monthly Parts, similar to those of
the " Pickwick Club." lie feels assured, that Articles so amusing,
and at the same illustrative of the Character and Al:lnners of our
continental neighbours, will meet with very general encouragement.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.)
ROBINSON F. MUSGRAVE.
This was an action brougllt to recover from the defendant, an auc-
tioneer, the purchase money' ,aid him at a public sale for a piece of
land at Burton (Surrey), a portion of which, described in the printed
catalogue and in the conditions of axle. was alleged by the plaintiff's
witnesses to have no existence. The case has occupied the Court the
whole morning, and Mr. Sergeant Acherly had but just entered upon the
defence when our reporter left.

INGE AND INGE V. MOORE.

The decision in this long and important case was delivered
to-day. It is a suit respecting the validity of the will of the
late Mrs. Moore, the wife of Mr. George Moore, of Appleby
Hall, in the county of Leicester, who died on the 12th of
March, 136, at the house of her father, Mr. Inge, at Thorpe,
in the above-mentioned county. The marriage between Miss
Inge and Mr. George Moore took place in June, 1832, and
was considered by the friends of both parties to be a proper
and suitable match, the lady being of the age of 23 years, and
the husband 21 or 22. A cohabitation existed between the
parties until the 13th of February, 1336, when the deceased
was removed to the house of her father, at Thorpe. The
terms on which the parties need during their cohabita-
tion are disputed by the parties in the cause, it being
contended by the husband, who opposes the validity of
the will, that the most sincere love and affection existed be-
tween himself and Mrs. Moore ; that the removal of the
deceased was carried into effect clandestinely, without his
knowledge or consent ; and that the deceased was labouring
under monomania, both at the time she was induced by the
threats or entreaties of her relatives ;to leave the house and
protection of her husband, and when she executed the will'
the ♦alidity of which is the point at issue in the cause, arising,
as it is supposed, from erysipelas on the bead, a disease under
which she had long suffered. On the other side, and on be-
half of the Messrs. Inge, the brothers of the deceased, by
whom she was removed to the honse of her father, and who
benefitted by, and who now support the validity of, the will,
it is contended that the conduct of Mr. Moore to the de-
ceased, from almost immediately after the marriage in 1832 to
the time of her removal from her husband's house, was one
continued system of cruelty and oppression.
The Learned Counsel, on both sides, read an immense
mass of evidence, to support the arguments which they had
offered.

The Learned JUDGE gave his decision this day. The Court
was of opinion that Mrs. Moore was not of unsound mind—
that she was not labouring under an affection of the brain—
and that she was of testamentary capacity ; that the conduct
of the parties supporting this will in removing Mrs. Moore to
the house of hor father solely arose from their conviction that
sh• was not safe under the protection of her husband ; and that
Mr. Moore, though not guilty of unkindness and cruelty, was
inattentive to, and did not sufficiently consider the state of a
delicate wife. The Court accordingly pronounced for the va-
lidity of the will.

SILK MARKET.

There is not a very extensive business doing in this department'
either in Italian or East Indian. The manufacturing trade is not now
brisk—prices of the raw material are, however, firm.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

To-day there was but a slender business done in East or Veest India
produce, still prices are very firm; and the tendency is to rise rather
than otherwise. B.P. Sugar went but limitedly at yesterday's prices
of 595. 6d. to 61s. 6d. for brown ; 625. to 635. 61. for yellow, low
and good; and 645. to 655. 6d. for fine. Every other kind of Raw
Sugar is firm; but no public sales to-day. There are enquiries privately
for Foreign Sugar. Fine crushed refined is 395. and little better than
nominal. Coffee is generally quiet, but stable. To-day there was a
public sale of 8.?., which sold with spirit at fully previous rates when we
loft. Good and fine ordinary 80s. to 103 s. and other kinds in proportion.
Spices continue firm, and at a public sale of West India Ginger to-day, pre.
vious rates were generally obtained for what sold. Rice (East India) sells
with spirit privately, and must now be quoted at 13s. 6d. to 14s. for good
middling white, which prices are 6d. higher. Rum remains very firm,
and likely to be so. We have but little business advertised for the fu-
ture ; the chief of it is Cotton, large sales of which come on to-morrow.
Nothing stirring to any extent in Canadian produce. The ice floating
in the river in great abundance causes the arrivals at the Customs to be
very slender at present. Saltpetre is not quite so firm as it was. To-
day there are some small public sales of Drugs, as is generally the case
on Thursday.

HARP'S ROYAL BRITISH CERATES
AND LINIMENT.
These valuable medical applications, long privately known, and highly
appreciated, by some of the most eminent medical men in the metropolis,
constitute, in their various modifications, rapid and effectual remedies
for Gout—in some states, Rheumatic Affections, Lumbago, Glandular
Swellings, many instances of Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Tumours,
Relaxed Sore Throats, Swelled Face or Gums. some eases of Deafness,
Inflammation—in all its shapes, Boils, Ulcerated and other wounds,
Sprains, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, Et ysipelas, Venomous Stings, Itch, Ring-
rm, Scaldhead, Grocers' Itch, Chilblains, Bunions, Corns, Tender Feet,
Paralysis of a local character, and Tic-douloureux. As no class of society
is exempt from the liability to some or other of these attacks, so to every
rank must access so such a powerful series of simple, but effectual, reme-
dies be highly desirable.
The series consists of a Liniment, with the Plain, and four combinations
of Cerates :—Namely No. 1, Plain; No. 2, Camphorated; No. 3, Emol-
lient ; No. 4, Balsamic; and No. 5, Sulphurated; severally applicable to

COURT OF EXCISE.--(THIS DAY.)

(Before Commissioners Sir John Mortlock, the Hon. B. Paget, and
Hart Davis, Esq.)
Emanuel Workman appeared to answer an information charging
him with selling a certain mixture for the purpose of colouring beer,
whereby he incurred a penalty of 5001.
It appeared from the evidence of a person of the name of Hodgkin_
son, a publican, residing in Petticoat-lane, that he was requested by
Cooke, an officer of excise, to go to the defendant's and purchase some
colouring ; that accordingly on the Bth of September he went to No. 4,
Cleaveland-street, Mile-end-road, and subsequently to No. 1, in the
same street, where he saw the defendant's wife. He said that
he was a publican, and wanted some colouring, for the pur-
pose of colouring some beer, and that he particularly
wished to see Mr. Workman, to give him instructions how it was to be
Used. Mrs. Workman said he was not at home, but she could supply
him with the article; he accordingly purchased half a gallon, for which
he paid ss. On the following day he again went to the defendant's, to re-
ceive instructions; he (the defendant) then wrote on a card the following
receipt pint of colouring ; 3lbs, moist sugar; 3 quarts of warm
water, and I 2 gallons of cold water, to be mixed with one butt of beer.
Mr. Golding Bird, General-Surveying Examiner of Excise, stated
that thecolouring in question was made of burnt sugar or molasses, and
Was generally used for colouring beer, spirits, &c.
Mr. Northouse, the Parliamentary Agent, cross-examined the wit-
nesses, and addressed the Court on behalf of the defendant.
Witnesses were then called to prove that the business did not belong
to the defendant, but to other persons.
The Court convicted the defendant in the mitigated penalty of 501.

This volume forms the second series of Portraits of the
of the Nobility, the first having been published, if
e remember rightly, in the autumn of last year. The
Work is dedicated, by permission, to the Queen ; is edited
by. Mrs. Fairlie ; and contains a variety of portraits of
aristocratic youths of both sexes. For the accuracy of the
• liken es we cannot speak ; but as works of art, the plates
deserve high praise, for great skill and pains-taking are
evident in all of them, and the designs from which they have
been. executed, are by some of the cleverest painters of
the.
Landseer contributes a full-length picture of
Blanche Egerton—a pretty little girl, who is dressed in
filluY fashion, and in which we find some striking contrasts
of light and shade ; Hayter, a spirited sketch of young Al-
pre non
nsinCapel ; and Miss Fanny Corboux—one of the
most
artists of the day—a portrait of the Marquis of
Northampton's daughter--a lively, fair-faced girl, who. is
re
resented sitting on a mossy bank with a bunch of. wild
'lowers in her lap. The attitude of this young lady is re-
markable for its ease and grace. The poetical illustrations
of these pictures are from the pens of various contributors,.

having defrauded Messrs. Miles and Edwards, of Oxford-
street, by altering a ticket.

The prisoner declared the present was his only offence.
He was fully committed.

Thomas Smith was charged with having stolen a box,
containing wearing apparel, belonging to a young lady
named Hoff, governess in the family of the Marquis of Lon-
donderry.
Thomas Fowler, a young man, in the employ of Messrs.
Beck and Co., wine-merchants, Park-lane, said the pri-
soner took the box from the premises of his employer. He
pursued and overtook the prisoner with the box in his pos-
session. The box had been forwarded to the Marquis's
estate in Ireland.
The prisoner pleaded distress. He could obtain no em-
ployment ; and, having failed to procure parish relief, he
had stolen the box.
He was committed for one month.

QUEEN- SQ UARE.
inn. Hudson, pot-boy at the Gun Tavern, Pimlico, was
charged upon a warrant with assaulting Anne Mason, a
servant at the above tavern.
The complainant stated that on Tuesday last some alter-
cation took place, when he threw a quantity of knives and
forks he had in his hands, retaining one knife, with which
he made several thrusts at complainant's right side. By
holding his wrists she prevented the defendant from suc-
ceeding in his object, and he then stabbed her in the right
arm, The wound was severe, and had prevented her using
her arm since.

knife through her own carelessness.

Merchant. —G uilty.

the brother of the prisoner, and Mr. Kennel!, late of Oxford-

wards had a long private conversation with the chairman,
and asserted that she was not the person the Chairman sup-
posed her to be. The prisoner, who was dressed in a splen-
did cloak, bonnet, &c., kept her face covered during the
whole of the trial. It was admitted by her Counsel that her
name was not Talbot.

POST-OFFICE REFORM.

The following is the petition from the Chamber of Com-
merce, Edinburgh :
" The humble Petit ion of the Chamber of Commerce and
Manufactures of the city of Edinburgh, incorporated by
royal charter,
" Showeth—That your petitioners have a deep interest in
the commercial prosperity of the country, which at no time
more than the present has required relief from all unneces-
sary imposts.
" The rate of postage has long been a burden bearing
hard upon the facilities and profits of all traders, which your
petitioners have humbly represented to your Honourable
House during the present session of Parliament, and craved
the adoption of Mr. Rowland Hill's plan, as one likely to
produce relief and great benefit to the community, and by
which the revenue of the State is likely to suffer little or no
diminution.

" The more your petitioners consider this plan, the more
they are impressed with its practicability.
" The increase of correspondence will be enormous ; and
if, under its adoption, the revenue from postage should fall off
for a time to a small extent, it must be obvious that the in-
creased demand for paper will of itself make up a considerable
portion of any deficiency. If Government, therefore, lose in
one department, they will gain in another; and it is, besides,
a well-known principle of trade, that a boon granted to one
branch benefits many others, so that the revenue will in all
probability be increased in various departments by so marked
an improvement in the domestic intercourse of the country.
" Your petitioners have felt much chagrined at the an-
nouncement given out of a proposed trial of Mr. Hill's plan in
the London twopenny and threepenny post districts, by allow-
ing twopenny stamped covers to be used, or not, in the option
of the writers of 'otters.

" Your petitioners aro of opinion that this proposal, if
adopted, can never be regarded as a proper trial of Mr. Hill's
plan ; and the only fair practical one appears to be, to make
the rate of postage one penny, and the use of stamped covers
compulsory. By such a course this great scheme will at
once be tested to the satisfaction of the whole community ;
and the propriety of a farther extension of the plan of
stamped covers, as well as the proper amount of reduction of
rostago all over the country, be placed prominently before
Parliament.

" Your petitioners humbly beg to impress these their views
upon your Honourable House, and, in conclusion, to pray that
your Honourable House will be pleased to take the premises
into your deliberate consideration, and that you will sanction
no experiment of Mr. Hill's plan but what is based on its
main principles, namely, a cheap and uniform rate of postage,
to be paid in advance by the use of stamped covers or stamped
sheets of paper.

and seal affixed, this thirtieth day of January, one
thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight years."
