BEWLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S
CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER.
—This Preparation contains, in a highly concentrated state, and
without the addition of any more heating stimulant, all the car-
minative and restorative properties of this useful and grateful aro-
matic, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the bulk
of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity
of the powder to produce the desired effect, BEWLEY, FISHER, and
CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when
taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other
medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is
recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner-
vous hsbits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughout
the whole system, relieving cramps, spssms, flatulency, pain, and
sense of oppressi, n atter meals, and restoring the tone of the
stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi-
cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and other aerated or
mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic
property.
In bottles at 2s. Gd. and 45., prepared by BEWLEY, FISHER,
and Co., G 4, Dame-street, Dublin. Also their Anodyne Lettuce
Lozenges, for coughs, colds, asthma, and affections of the chest.
Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the
profession, have strongly recommended Lactucarium (the inspis-
sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing
and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in
the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To increase its
efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and
demulcents, and have adopted the form of a lozenge as being the
most agreeable mode for its administration.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, June 22.)
SLTGAR.—To-day there was no public sale of Sugar, but
privately from hove dealers much inquiry existed, and
better rates were paid for all sorts. Of West India the
quantity sold was to a large extent, both for the pan an
scale, amounting to 1,000 hhds, &c, whilst the rates paid
are 6d to is per cwt above these of Friday last. Some
parcels of West India have been withdrawn from the

market.

demand by home dealers, and the market is firmer
good brown lumps selling at 51a 6d, and fair grocer.
52s to 52s 6d. Ye-Bonded Crushed Sugar the demand
has been limited at former rates.
MAURITIUS.-The market has been less freely supplied
with all descriptions this week. There has also been a
more active demand by private treaty for all purposes,
and former prices have been well supported : indeed, in
some cases, stiffer rates were obtained. At public sale
1,517 bags went readily; middling to good yellow at 38s
to 395, low 37s to 37s 6d, ordinary and middling grey
37s to 38s, good and fine brown 35s 61 to 375, low to

per cwt. Of ordinary brown sorts the supply is still
small.
EAST INnra.--LBy private treaty operations in Bengal
Sugar are upon a more extended scale this week,
and as the supply is less plentiful, stiffer rates are in
some cases obtained; 1,630 bags at public sale were
disposed of. Madras is wanted, and the parcels sold by
private treaty were at stiffer rates; only 468 bags have
been offered at auction. Penang is wanted, and stiffer
rates are offered, but few parcels are to be obtained.
FOREIGN.-To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and by private treaty little business was done.
The purchases for the week are not worth enumerating;
still there are not sellers at lower rates.
MonassEs.-A fair demand has been experienced for
West India, and full rates are obtained; holders display
firmness, and 17s 6d to 22s is the value of low to fine
quality. Of East India some parcels have been disposed
of at 16s 6d to 17s 6d; with all sorts the market is only
moderately supplied, and deliveries are getting larger.
Honey is held for an advance, and fine is scarce.

excellent demand,

[ TEA.-A more active demand has been experienced
for low and midling sorts of Green this week whilst
former rates are obtained without difficulty. For

ness has been concluded, common and good common re-
alised 7i-d to Bid per lb. The quantity of tea submitted
to public sale this week has amounted to 21,800 pkgs, of
which 6 500 found purchasers at prices about the same
as on this day week. The market for tea looks firm.
SPIRITS.-A much better demand has been expe-
rienced for Leeward Island Rum this week, and on the
part of holders there is more firmness. The sales
amount to 400 puns, at is 4d to is 5d proof. Of East
India several parcels have been taken at is 3d; the
market is also firm. Demerara brought full rates, and
the demand is more active. The sales for the week
amount to 300 puns at is 10d to 2s ld for 30 to 38
per cent. over proof. Jamaica is held with firmness, and
at former rates several parcels have been taken by ship-
pers and home dealers; plain and mid quality 28 to 34
per cent. over proof at 2s 2d to 2s 10d, 34 to 36 over
good and fine 3s to 3s Bd, and choice marks 3s 9d to 4s.
Brandy is fully as dear as last week, and the demand is
active; holders also evince more firmness. The demand
is good for Geneva at is 9d to is 10d for ord export
sort, and fine at 2s 3d to 3s 3d. British made Spirit
realises fully former rates.
COCOA.-Prices have been supported for West India
this week, and the demand has been more active, but the
supply continues to get upon a larger scale : at public
sale 734 bags 27 barrels Trinidad were for the most part
sold ; grey at from 40s to 425, red 42s to 465, and supe-
rior 47s 6d to 48s per cwt : of fine bright the supply is,
however, small. The deliveries at all the ports for home
consumption this year are 1,398,638, and in the former one
1,316,083 lbs. There are few buyers of Foreign and
27s to 29s per cwt is the value. None has been differed
at public sale this week.

2id to 2id, and heavy 24d to 3d per lb. White con-

held for full terms, but met a ith little attention.
Cloves are wanted and prices rule firm ; Bencoolen at

has again been offered at auction. For Nutmegs
a good nemand exists; good to fine brown at 3s to
3s 10d, low to mid 2s 6d to 2s 10d, and the market is
still sparingly supplied. Ginger continues in excellent
request, and the supply is even smaller than in the for-
mer week. Prices are firm; Jamaica 41 to 71 10s, fine 81

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT.

ROBERTSON V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-IVESTERN

RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was an action brought by Captain Archibald
Robertson, Chief Constable of Hertfordshire Police, to
recover compensation for a breach of contract.
On the sth of March last the plaintiff with his vire
child, and a female servant, arrived in London, with the
intention of starting from the Euston-square terminus of
the above railway to pay a visit to Edinburgh, stopping
at Newcastle, On the following morning he pro-
cured four tickets for the express train to New-
castle, which was to leave at halt-past 9. Having seen
his wife, child, and servant safely seated in one of
.the
carriages, the lady wished to purchase a book at the
stall on the platform, and plaintiff accompanied her
there to get a newspaper. At that time it wanting
only about half a minute to the half-hour, he saw that
his baggage was about sixty yards from him. Having
seen Mrs. Robertson once more seated, plaintiff was
desired by a porter named Bickley to get in himself, and
his luggage should be sent after him. This he refused
to do, till seeing the train in motion, thinking it better
to leave his luggage behind than his family to go on
without him, he was about stepping in but was prevented
by Bickley. He then demanded to be forwarded directly
to overtake the express train, but that was relised, as
was also his wish that notice should be forwarded to the
first station that train stopped at, by means of the elec-
tric telegraph, to acquaint his wife of the circumstance.
He went by the next train to Newcastle, which was at
half-past ten o'clock, and he did not arrive there till
eleven at night.
His HoNoun gave judgment for the plaintiff—with
damages, 6/.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
Ferdinand Roeder, manager of the German Opera,
lately performing at Drury-lane, appeared before Mr.
Henry upon a summons, to answer a charge of having
used threatening language to Joseph Ortmanns, one of
the chorus singers.
The complainant, with about a dozen other members
of the company, waited upon the magistrate the previous
afternoon, and detailed (through an interpreter), avariety
of grievances to which they had been exposed since their
arrival in London. They received engagements in Ger-
many to perform in England for a certain period at a
salary of about 61. ss. per month. They accompanied
Roeder to this country, and had fulfilled their engage-
ments at Drury-lane, but, with the exception of a few
shillings paid to each of the chorus now and then, they
had never been able to obtain any money from the di-
rectors. They had been reduced to great distress in con-
sequence, many of them being compelled to sleep in the
theatre from their inability to get other lodgings.
Mr. HENRY suggested that it would be better to settle
the matter amicably among themselves.
After a series of mutual explanations between the de-
fendant and the complainants, they adopted the advice of
his Worship, and the summons was withdrawn.
Sarah Mills, governess, who had been committed for
trial (with Martin Hansel!, editor of the Satirist) for
conspiring to extort money from Mr. Bevan, but who had
absconded from her sureties, was placed at the bar and
recommitted, having been captured, after some ma-
noeuvring, at Boulogne.
WESTMINSTER.
Lord Marcus Hill attended at this court to prefer a
charge against William Sutton, under the Hackney Car-
riage Act, for the following outrageous misbehaviour.
His Lordship stated that, a few nights ago, on leaving
the House of Commons, he hired the defendant and or-
dered him to drive to Eaton-square. On alighting at
St. Peter's Church he gave defendant a shilling. De-
fendant demanded back fare, when complainant told him
that he had no claim upon him in that respect, that
other drivers had never asked such a thing, and that he
would not pay it. Complainant then walked away, but
defendant followed him, declaring that he would have
his back fare. Complainant endeavoured to avoid de-
fendant, who continued to follow; and then defendant
got down from his driving-box, and proceeded to lay
hold of him by the arm. Complainant then desired him
to take his hands off, when he laid hold of an umbrella
which complainant carried, and declared that he should
not go till he paid him; upon which complainant called
" Police!" and two constables came up, to whom he ex-
plained the circumstances, and gave his name and ad
dress, which be had not felt disposed to furnish the
defendant with, as he was under the influence of
liquor. The constables inquired whether he wished to
give the defendant in charge? but he replied he did
not consider it worth while; he only wanted to
proceed home without further molestation. Ht
then proceeded in that direction alone, but
had only gone a short distance when defendant again
followed, repeating his demand for back fare. His Lord-
shid then met Lord Mulgrave and Mr. Hastings Russell,
and liming mentioned to them the annoyance to which,
he had been subjected by the defendant, and either gen-
tleman having placed an arm in his, they proceeded to
the door of Mr. Russell's house, where that gentleman
invited him to his house to prevent any further annoy-
ance. Complainant declined the offer, and was going
into his own house when, perceiving defendant follow-
ing him, he quickened his pace and began to run, when
defendant cried " Stop thief." In order to avoid any
disturbance at his own door, Lady Marcus Hill being
unwell, he returned to Mr. Russell's, whither the de-
.endant followed, but finding a policeman had 1-p eu sea;
for, drove off before one could be procured. Defendant
did not make any specific charge for back fare. [lt
may be as well here to state that defendant could not
possibly have had any claim for back carriage, as where
his Lordship was set down is half a mile within the li-
mits from the General Post-office.]
At the conclusion of the evidence,
Mr. BURRELL pointed out to his Lordship a difficulty
upon the summons, and suggested that in so flagrant a
case his Lordship should proceed, against defendant for
the assault.
His Lordship observed that he bad no vindictive feel-
ings against the man, and intimated that if he now
expressed his sorrow, he would forego any further pro-
ceedings.
Defendant said he was very sorry for having so mis-
conducted him,,elf, and implored his Lordship's forgive-
ness, declaring that he would never again be guilty of a
like offence.
The foreman of the defendant's master said that the
man had been in his service a great length of time, and
had invariably borne a most excellent character, but it
was observed that when he came home on the night in
question he had been drinking.
Mr. BURRELL observed that his Lordship bad exer-
cised much temper and forbearance throughout the
transaction, both out of doors and in that court, and de-
fendant ought to feel deeply indebted to him for his
kindness.
Defendant thanked his Lordship, who, bowing to the
worthy magistrate, withdrew.
WORSHIP-STREET.
John Lluxtable, described as a hawker, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged upon suspicion of
having administered some deleterious drug to a young
woman named Sarah Waite, with intent to commit a crie
minal assault upon her p: rson.
Police-constable Johns, H 76, stated that while on
duty in Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, at three
o'clock that morning, he observed the prisoner support-
ing in his arms a respectably-dressed young woman in a
state of unconsciousness, and endeavouring to force her
through the doorway of a house of au infamous descrip-
tion. Before he had time to reach the spot the prisoner
succeeded in dragging her into the house, but was fol-
lowed by the witness, wbo proceeded to a room upon the
first floor, where he found the woman lying senseless
upon a bed, at the side of which the prisoner was seated.
Upon questioning the prisoner as to the cause of the
young woman being in such a condition, he stated that
be bud been some hours in her company, and had given
her some ale and brandy, which produced such an effect
upon her that she was unable to reach her home, and he
had therefore taken her to that house, which was the
only place he knew at which a lodging could be pro-
clued. Whilst this conversation was taking place the
young woman was seized with such violent convulsions
that she appeared to be dying, and having, on a closer
inspection, recognised her as a near relative of a respect-
able engineer in the neighbourhood, at whose house she
was staying, he felt satisfied that some foul play had been
practised upon her, and, leaving her in the charge of ano-
ther constable, proceeded to the residence of her brother-
in-law, who returned to the house with a cab, and conveyed
her at once to the hospital. On reaching there the night
surgeon who attended her expressed his conviction that
the symptoms she exhibited had not been occasioned by
intoxicating liquors, but that some stupifying ingredients
had been administered to her, which rendered it neces-
sary that the man in whose company she had been found
should be detained in custody, and the prisoner was ac-
cordingly transferred to the station-house.
Mr. Jones, the brother-ix-law, stated that the young
woman, who was eighteen years of age, had resided
with him since she left her last situation as barmaid at
a respectable tavern, and that she left home at eight
o'clock on the preceding evening to make arrangements
for entering into another family, but he saw no more of
her until the policeman knocked him up, and conducted
him to the house in which she was found in the condition
described. He knew nothing whatever of the prisoner,
and felt satisfied, from the steadiness and propriety
which had always marked her former conduct, that his
sister-in-law had been unfairly dealt with.

he pressed her to accompany him to an adjoining public-
house to partake of some refreshment. She at first
declined the invitation, but ultimately yielded to his
importunities, and the prisoner called for some ale, of
which she clef), took a small quantity, and he afterwards
ordered a glass of rum, a small portion of which she
was also induced to drink, and left the house immediately

afterwards, but had scarcely reached the street when
her senses entirely left her, and she was totally uncon-
scious of everything that subsequently took place until
she found herself in the hospital.
In answer to a question from the magistrate as to
whether the prisoner had ever paid her any particular
attention, the complainant replied in the negative, and
said that she had considered herself perfectly safe in his
company, as she knew him to be a married man and the
father of several children.
Upon being asked if he wished to say anything, the pri-
soner positively denied the charge, and &aid that he was
obliged to take her to the house referred to, as he did
not know where she lived, and there was no other lodg-
ing to be obtained.
Mr. HADIMILL said that it was a very serious and sus-
picious case, which called for further investigation, and
he should therefore order the prisoner to be remanded,
but would not object to substantial bail being put in for
his future appearance.
The required sureties, however,' were not forthcom-
ing at the close of the court, and the prisoner was there-
fore removed in the van.

MARSTON'S NEW TRAGEDY.

STRATHMORE. A Tragic Play in Five Acts
By J. Westland Marston.
Already—in our notice of the theatrical represen-
tation of Strathmore, on the occasion of its first per-
formance on Wednesday evening, at the Theatre Royal
Haymarket—we gave a rapid but detailed synopsis
of the plot, from the opening scene to the catastrophe.
Our present purpose, therefore, is restricted entirely
within the limits of literary criticism. For the bril-
liant success which has already marked the appear-
ance of the new tragedy has even in this brief in-
terval rendered the story which it evolves, in a great
measure, familiar to the popular imagination. Ac.
cording to an acknowledgment contained ,in the
" Preface" to the first edition, just published, that
story was suggested to the dramatist by the fortunes,
or rather,we should say, byl the misfortunes,tof Henry
Morton, recounted by Sir Walter Scott in one of
his most renowned fictions, the incomparable
romance of " Old Mortality." Every one who bears
a recollection of the sombre and pathetic interest
which pervades the narrative of Morton's advance at
the head of the Covenanters against the home of Edith
Bellinden, will appreciate at once the thrilling solem-
nity that might be thrown around a dramatic version
of the incident by the hand of one not only intimate
with the ingenuities of stage effect, but possessed of
that golden key of genius which admits the aspirant
into the garden of poetry, the garden hung with the
jewel-fruits of imagery, and blooming with the
amaranths of inspiration. Such an one is Westland
Marston. He basso far habituated himself to the at-
mosphere of the theatres as to have fa-
miliarized himself with the mechanism essen-
tial to the artificial compositions of the
dramatist, without, however, losing an appetite
for the freshness of reality in his artistic passion for
the fictitious, without forsaking the blush of Nature
for the hectic rouge of Art. Since the production
of his noble tragedy of the Patrician's Daughter—a
tragedy which forthwith proved him to be a worthy
contemporary of Bulwer Lytton, of Sheridan
Knowles, of Talfourd, of Taylor, of White, of the
authors of Richelieu and the Athenian Captive, of
the panegyrists of Virginius, and of Van Arteveldt, and
of that sacerdotal illustrator of the history of Scot-
land who bade fair at the very outset of his career
to emulate the celebrity of Home—since the first
appearance of the Patrician's Daughter on the
boards of Drury-lane, Mr. Marston has sedulously
cultivated the gifts which at that period were suffi-
ciently apparent, he has developed his mastery over
the language, and has imperceptibly (and almost
unconsciously, perhaps, to himself) ripened his delicate
yet vigorous imagination. The truth of this is manifest
in the more dramatic character of Strathmore. In
the Patrician's Daughter Mr. Marston rendered his
effusion somewhat less suitable for representation on
the stage from the very circumstance of his having
dared, with the boldness of true genius, to introduce
tragedy into the drawing-room without lowering the
histrionic art to the coarseness of Lillo, or elevating
it to the nearly melodramatic exaggerations of Moore.
In Strathmore, however, he has at length ventured
to put forth his powers in earnest, although
even now we cannot but conjecture that,
with a generalship not less suitable to the
Poet than to the Warrior, he has retained under the
cover of his futurity an effective and remarkable
Reserve. Nevertheless we are not here endeavouring
to guess at the excellence of his subsequent achieve-
ment, we have to do with what is actually under our
consideration. Strathmore we have said evidences
a very striking and perceptible improvement. Yet
we are by no means disposed (as we have already
indicated) to regard it as the completed masterpiece
of Mr. Marston 's intellect. As far as the capacities
of his intellect are concerned it is, to our mind, any-
thing but climactic. It reveals anything rather than
that its author has in it reached the limits of
his capabilities. For, beautiful as is the
diction ; clever as is the dialogue ; touching
as are the " situations ;" grand and even sublime as
is the final incident, where Katharine, starting to her
feet, adjures her betrothed rather than purchase
life by dishonour to die r sad and solemn as is the
.11
catastrophe where the Loyalist-Covenanter, with " a
night"—the night of death—" sleeping upon his
face," expires in the rapture of a tardy reconciliation ;
Strathmore is still far from being without either
blemishes or deficiencies. Yet those blemishes are
seldom beyond the subordinate blemishes of road
vertence ; and only once arise from a violation of the
exquisite code of taste. This occurs where Isabel,
striving to console Katharine during the absence of
Strathmore, says of despair, that it is a dissyllable
only signifying the heart-ache and weak nerves,
continuing—
" All women have it ere they wed; it means
The rash of love when oft too full a habit,
And only needs Time's lancet for its cure !"
The metaphor i 3 mean, if not of a gross eccentricity,
rather to be expected in the lyrics of Herrick, than in
the dramas of Marston. In this one instance alone,
however, is the language of the play beneath its pur-
pose; and if we are not singularly mistaken, the
lines were omitted on the first night of representa-
tion—being allowed to remain in the printed tragedy,
possibly, through an oversight. In the second edition
it will assuredly be expunged, or, at the least, be mo-
dified. As to the " deficiencies " which we have
spoken of, they are conspicuously these—a deficiency
of attraction in the working of the underplot, and a
deficiency of ,that moving and irresistible pathos which
opens the flood gates of affection to the tears of sym-
pathy. In this respect the one over-powering scene
between Macdonald and his mother, alone to our
thinking, saved Glencoe from' " damnation." But
for that exquisitely touching interview, the refined
and classic poetry of Talfourd would have failed to
secure the success of his production. If, how-
ever, Strathmore is in a great measure devoid
of this talisman of dramatic triumph, it never-
theless possesses another scarcely if at all inferior
in its influence. If it fails in one direction,
it is eminently victorious in another ; it pos-
sesses a potency of its own over the emotions of
its auditors—it thrills, here and there, to their
very hearts with the abruptness of its melancholy
casualties. As where, at the moment when Strathmore
is rending asunder all the bonds of love and tender-
ness, in obedience to the inexorable dictates of prin-
ciple, he exclaims in a broken but exulting voice to
Ms betrothed--
"Life rarely knows its heroes. Obloquy,
Like dust, defiles the champion: still he strives,
And at the grave, the sullied vesture falls
From his worn limbs, his memory takes its stand
Upon the tomb, and the world shouts—A Hero l"
As where he cries out, later on, in a kind of deli-
rious day-dream (haring seized by force of arms the
house of his betrothed, and committed her father, Sir
Rupert Lorn, to a dungeon)—
"Where am I?—Is this earth, or has the world
Swerved from its path in terror, and recoiled
To the first chaos? Is yon light the sun?
Are these green hills? And has this roof bestanend reared
By human hands?—The ground is firm;
Alone; yet dare not turn lest fearful shapes
Should give the lie to sense.—Alone ! ah, see.
That old man stalks before me I Speak
He's dumb.—And now from the quick breeding
er'sr ai
There looms another form—dark, stern--stern—myath!—
lie points to him and asks me for his friend !
And 'twixt the two, thereK glides
ne, a cold
ayface, blanched,
With a child's agony !—athari aw
I cannot bear those eyes !—Exact your vengeance !
My life 7—No ; that were mercy !—Ab, ye smile—
Ye fade and leave me.—'Tis my doom to live ! "
As, again, where Katharine conjures up before the
me ,n ory„of Strathmore the recollections that reproach
him for his'present actions, at the close of which impas-
sioned adjuration her lover falls senseless at her

reet :

" See, nature in thee
Revolts against the deed ! Thy feet are fixed
To the detaining earth ! thy face is stone !
A cry peals from these shuddering walls to pierce
The vault of Time ; and, 10, the shrouded years
Leap from their graves !—Here, by the old man's side,
The boyish steps have patter'd ; by yon hearth
He held thee at his knee—his payful hand
Entangled in thy hair—and stooped his ear
To catch their prattle! By that chair we knelt
To plight our troth before him, while his voice—
A soldier's voice, weak with the weight of love—
Faltered his blessing!—Come, be bold! Fulfil
Thy work ! Stand on my father's hearth, and there—
Thex®, when he blond us—ope§k hid dna !"
