Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces
that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which
its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan,
Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the
KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa-
rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise
will find it to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, July 25.
(Before Mr. Sergead GAzELEE.)
John Joseph Clark, aged 27, vas indicted for the ca-
pital offence of burglariously braking and entering the
dwelling-house of Augustus Mulyard, and stealing twc
watches, some plate, and other veluable property, and at
the time of committing the burgltry it was alleged that
the prisoner beat and wounded tie prosecutor.
Mr. Hawkins prosecuted, and lir. Charnock defended
the prisoner.
It appeared, from the very clew and concise statement
of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the evi
dente that was produced in support of it, that the offence
which was the subject of the iiquiry, was committed
under very extraordinary end aggravated circumstances.
The prosecutor is a farmer, residing in a rather lonely
position in the parish of Meopharn, and it seemed that it
was his custom not to allow his men servants to sleep on
the premises, and the only inmates of the house at night
were himself, his wile, ands female servant. They re-
tired to bed at the usual hour on the Ist of June, and
about midnight the prosecutor was woke by hearing a
noise at his bed-room window. He at first imagined
there was an alarm of fire, and on his getting up and
going towards the window lie observed the heads of
two men, who were apparently standing
on the ladder.
The men were disguised by having their shirts over
their clothes, and a sort of white cap over their faces,
with holes in them to look throtn4h and before-the pro-
secutor had any opportunity to Observe ttheirparticu•
.
larly, or to offer any resistance, the window wail crushed
in, and several men, all disguised ix the manner stated,
jumped into the room and commenced a most brutal at-
tack upon the prosecutor with bludgeons, and one of the
ruffians also struck him with an iran bar. He begged
for mercy, and at length he was permitted to get into
bed, and the villains then. insisted upon having the
money that was in the hobse. The prosecutor informed
them that there was very little moue? in the house at
the time, and they then demanded the plate, and they
compelled the wife of the prosecutor tc accompany them
down stairs and show them where it was kept, two of
the gang keeping guard over the prosecutor, while
the rest went down stairs to get the property. The
wife of the prosecutor then delivered up the money
that was in her possession, and also the plate, and
one of the gang wrapped up the property in a
bundle, and took it out and delivered it to a confede-
rate, whol was waiting outside. The prosecutor's wile
was then compelled to got into bed again, while the
ruffians ransacked the house, and while so engaged
they discovered a receipt for some money, upon which
they returnod to the bedroom and repeated their demand
for money, asserting that they were certain there was
some in the house, and one of the ruffians declared that

?ered for 501. or 601., and that such a proceeding was
!alculated to hurt his credit. The plaintiff had charged
aim with injuring his character, and threatened to bring
,n action against him; and he replied, that when he
could prove that bills with his indorsement upon them
or 1001. were in the hands of such persons as Smith,
and had been offered for so little as 151., he thought the
Jury would give him a very poor verdict if he did bring
4n action. The plaintiff then Laid, that he had given
.hese bills in order to enable him to take up. other bills
,hat were coming due. The day after this bill got into
1-ie possession of Smith, he called at his shop and made
the following memorandum in a book, which he pro
Juced:—

"Dear Cubitt,—lf any one should make any inquiries
of you respecting Storrar, of Southampton, make it
right; I have referred the parties to you.
" Yours truly, "JOHN SMITH."
The witness continued-1n consequence of this num-
bers of persons did call upon him to make inquiries re-
specting the plaintiff; and this particular bill and several
others were referred to. In fact, be was "dunned to
death" upon the subject. He stated all the circum-
stances to the plaintiff, and told him that he must be
aware no money had passed for the bill, and the only
answer he made was, that he had got the bill, and he
would make the defendant pay it,
Mr. CHAMBERS said this was the case for the de-
fendant. _ _

The CHIEF BARON asked to which of the pleas he
considered his evidence applied.
Mr. CHAMBERS said he considered the plea that the
plaintiff was aware of the bill having been fraudulently
obtained by Smith was made out. At all events,
enough bad been shown, he contended, to call upon the
plaintiff to show that he had given consideration for the
bill. . _

Sergeant GAZHLEE said he would prove the conside•
ration ; but, after consulting with his junior, he de-
clined doing so, and said he would leave the case where
it was.

The CHIEF BARON then said, he would not take upon
himself to decide that there was no evidence to support
the plea relied upon by the counsel for the defendant, but
according to his opinion there was very little. His
Lordship then proceeded to address the jury, and after
explaining the nature of the action, he observed that it
was highly important in a commercial community like
this, that the validity of bills of exchange should not be
suffered to be disputed upon light grounds, and he said
it would be much better that the law should be strictly
upheld respecting them, than that it should be in the
slightest degree set aside, in order to meet any parti-
cular transaction resulting from a combination of block-
heads and knaves. If a man was ass enough to accept
a bill of exchange, and hand it over to a knave, he
must take the consequences, and if such a bill came into
the possession of a bona fide holder for value, he was
bound to tell them, that is law such a person had a right
to recover from the acceptor, provided that he had no
knowledge of any fraud having; been practised. The
only question in this cause, therefore, was, whether or
not, at the time the bill got into the possession of the
plaintiff, he was aware of the manner in which it had
been obtained, and if the jury should be of opinion
that he was not, or that he was only made acquainted
with it afterwards, he would be entitled to recover. It

would be their duty to return a verdict in his favour. If,
on the contrary, they considered that the evidence es-
tablished that fact, tlfey would find for the defendant.
The jury, notwithstanding the summing up of his
Lordship, immediately returned a verdict for the de-
fendant.

Sergeant GAZELEE asked for leave to move the Court
to set aside the verdict and enter one for the plaintiff.
Mr. CHAMBERS asked on what ground?
Sergeant GAZELEE said upon the ground that there
was no evidence to support the defendant's pleas.
His LORDSHIP acceded to the application.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD, JULY 27.—This week the arrival is large of
wheat, and moderate of other grain. Good samples of English
wheat are taken at last week's prices ; for foreign or parcels out
of condition there is very little demand, though offered on
easier terms. Oats and shelling are without change. Few
beans wanted, and rather lower.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.
IMPORTATION OF CATTLE AND SHEEP.
At the last Court of Aldermen, Alderman and Sheriff
Finnis presented a petition from the importers of foreign
cattle and sheep and wharfingers of the city of London.
The petition stated that by an Act passed in the 21st
year of George 111. to prevent the mischiefs that had
Arisen from driving cattle within the cities of London
And Westminster and liberties thereof, the mayor and
aldermen shall have full power to make rules for re-
gulating persons who drive cattle, &c., and to alter and
emend them; that the Court did accordingly, on the
24th of September, 1839, make such rules, whereby it
was ordered that no person shall drive, or permit to be
driven, any cattle, &e., into any street or place within
one mile of Smithfield. market on any Sunday before 11
at night, under a penalty of 405.; that since the date
of the making of such rules the Legislature had passed
a law permitting the importation of foreign cattle and
sheep into this country, which the petitioners were
largely concerned in importing; that the vessels so
employed discharged their cargoes at St. Katharine's
Dock-wharf, Brewer's and Chester quays, and London-
bridge-wharf, and it very frequently happened that, from
the state of the wind and tide, and other causes, they did
not arrive at their destination until Sunday morning;
and, to facilitate the landing of the cattle, the officers of
Customs were always in attendance on Sundays for the
purpose of inspecting and passing them. That it was in-
dispensably necessary that the cattle should be landed
immediately on their arrival, and, on being landed, be
driven to a place where food and water could be given to
them. That the wharfs and quays could not afford the
accommodation required. That the petitioners had taken
places in Smithfield for the express purpose of there sup-
plying the cattle, &c., so imported with food and water;
but, by the existing rules of the Court, it was an offence
to drive cattle through the streets before eleven o'clock
on Sunday night, and that the cattle must therefore be
kept on board until after eleven o'clock on
Sunday ; and from the crowded state of tho
vessel it was impossible to give them the
necessary food and water, whereby they suffered
much pain and misery, and were greatly deteriorated and
reduced in value to the petitioners, and the wharfingers
sustained much inconvenience and annoyance by the
cattle not being immediately landed and driven from
their premises. The petition concluded with the prayer
that the Court would so alter and amend the rules as to
the driving of cattle as the altered state of the law and
the exigencies of the case might require.
Aldermen llumphery, Sir P. Laurie, Wilson, Sidney,
&c., opposed the motion for referring the petition to a
committee, and it was supported by Aldermen Lawrence
and Finnis.
The LORD MAYOR said the petitioners had waited upon
him on the subject, and stated some things which did
not exactly correspond with the apparent object of the
petition. Ho suggested that they should make some
change in it, in order to enable a committee to undertake
an investigation.
Alderman FiNsas then withdrew the petition, but with
the understanding that at the next court another appli-
cation should be made upon the subject.
