the prisoner, requested that any accommodation which
could be afforded in prison might be given to him.
The prisoner was then remanded for a week.
Mr. Spinks, a pawnbroker residing in Gracechurch-
street, was summoned upon an information charging
him with having neglected to write in legible charac-
ters the full name and address of the party pawning, and
the designation of the article pawned. The informer
was Birch.

William Atkinson, who stated himself to be a public
informer, appeared as the informer's witness. He stated
that on the 11th of May he pawned a handkerchief for
eighteen-pence at Mr. Spinks' shop. A boy inside the
counter asked in what name? To which witness replied
distinctly, " Atkinson," without mentioning the,Christian
name. The boy then filled up the ticket with the name
of " John Atkins." Witness was not asked where he
resided. Witness was not in partnership with Birch,
nor had he any interest whatever in the decision, but he
drew up the information. Birch would have the moiety
of the penalty if any were inflicted.
Mr. Humphreys said that the error in the name was
a mere mistake, and there was not the least intention to
defraud manifested in the business.
Alderman Gibbs dismissed the case, and Birch de-
clared that be should apply for a mandamus.

BOW-STREET.
STABBING.—Jamcs Browne was charged with mali-
ciously cutting And maiming John Allen.
The defendant who had been admitted to bail, sur-
rendered in discharge of his recognizances.
The prosecutor was brought from Charing-cross
Hospital to give evidence, and was in so weak and ex-
hausted a state, as not to be able to stand. He stated
that be was a turner by trade, and lived in Phcenix-
court, Long-acre. On the evening of the 4th May, he
returned home, when he saw the prisoner and another
man endeavouring to force their way into his house; he
ran up, and endeavoured to prevent them from doing
so, when the prisoner caught hold of him ; a scuffle en-
sued, and ultimately a regular fight took place between
them, in the course of which, he (prosecutor) suidenly
received two severe blows, inflicted in rapid succession in
his left side, on which he immediately fell senseless to the
,round, and on recovering, he found himself lying on a
bed in Charing-cross Hospital, with two severe wounds
in his side. The prosecutor having given the above
evidence, was so completely exhausted, that it was
found necessary to convey him back to the hospital im-
mediately.

Ann Taylor stated that on the evening in question,
she saw the prosecutor and the prisoner fighting in the
street, the former fell suddenly, and at the same mo-
ment she saw the prisoner throw away a knife. (The
knife was here produced, and identified by the witness.)
Richard Oldham stated that he saw the fight, and
the prosecutor suddenly reel, and as he was falling to
the ground witness caught him in his arms, and after
placing him on the step of a door, fetched a policeman
and gave the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner was re:nanded until Saturday.

EVENING EDIT'

PANORAMA OF MACAO-
(LEICESTER-SQUAgE.)

—cis—
Mr. Barford has very opportunely produced a beauti-
ful panorama of this Portuguese settlement, which the
dispute with China renders every day more interesting•
Nearly 300 rears ago the Portuguese Government,
then the most celebrated in Europe for maritime dis-
coveries and navy enterprise, performed important ser-
vices to the Celestial Empire in clearing the seas and
numerous islands in the gulf of China of hordes of
pirates, which were too many for tho three hundred
millions of sinewy Chinese ; and for these acts of friendship
The " Bright Eye" made a present of the territory
to the King of Portugal, on the payment of a nominal
tribute, and on condition that the settlers should con-
form to the laws of the country. They have held pos-
session of it ever since. The trade between Macao and
Europe at one time was very great, and contributed
not a little to the power and wealth of the Portuguese
nation. Latterly, however, the trade with Portugal
has all but ceased. Not more than .5,000 Portuguese
reside in the place, and the rest of the inhabitants, pro-
bably about 15,000, consist chiefly of English, AasCrt
cans, and Chinese. The town stands on a narrow penin-
sula, at the southern extremity of the island of Heang;
shan, and with the beautiful expansive roadstead, lou
numerous islands in the bav, presents a most magnificent
appearance. Mr. Burford has taken advantage of the
singular position of the town for the construction doe
of the finest panoramas he has ever presented to the
public. In the Bay of Typa arc seen hundresls
of vessels of almost every description, from the
small ill-shaped unmanageable junk, to the
gant and sea-worthy British man-of-war. 11
ships with their crews, the waves of the see, and
the etherial sky, are all given with truth and the most
beautiful effect, and the scene altogether, 'according t°
those who have resided in the settlement,.forms almost
a perfect likeness. The panorama was opened
the
Saturday for a private view, and opened this day.for the
public, who, we have no doubt, will appreciate this Yell
interesting exhibition.

NEW LABEL.

TN consequence of the great variety of Counter-
feit Wrappers of " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL,"
now in circulation, and which so nearly resemble the original
as frequently to deceive the unwary, the Proprietors, acting
under a sense of duty, and regardless of expense in the attain-
ment of their object, the protection of the public from fraud
and imposition, have employed those celebrated Artists,
Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, who have succeeded in producing
" A NEW LABEL" from steel, of so complicated and intri-
cate a nature, and of such excessive difficulty of execution, as
to amount to an impossibility of imitation, and to be considered
by connoisseurs a masterpiece in the art of engraving.
The label forms a combination cf beautiful designs, a portion
encircling a BUST of her Majesty the " Queen," which sur-.
mounts the words, in two lines,

ROWLAND'S
MACASSAR OIL,
(the ground work is composed of the most elaborate and chaste
patterns of laee-work.) Under which are the Signature and
Address of the Proprietors in Red,
A. ROWLAND and SON, 20. Hatton-garden, London.
Counter-signed, ALEX. ROWLAND.
The Label is backed by a design so exquisite and minute as
to defy competition ; it comprises the words " Rowland's
Macassar Oil," written nearly 1,500 times, and containing
20,028 letters.
20, Hatton-garden, London, January 1, 1840.
The Lowest Price is 3s. 6d. ; the next 7s. ; or Family
Bottles (containing four sroill) at 105. 6d. ; and Double that
size U. Is.
Some' Impostors call their trash the " Genuine Macassar
Oil," and sign it " A. Rowland Son," omitting the " &'' offer-
ing it for sale under the lure of " cheapness."
Be sure to ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil."

DOVER

The Rev. Mr. Mau!e, we hear, is very wrath with
for having, in our last, recorded the striking instance et
his Christian zeal displayed before the committee of
requisionists. He wishes very much to know who the
traitorous tell-tale can be that dareth to publish, or
cause to be published, on the house-top, the sayings and
kings of a reverend personage in a vestry-room!
Verily, we may not satisfy his pious inquiries, but we
cannot help wondering that the brave gentleman gives
himself the trouble to express any surprise about the
matter.

The fact is, that the public mind is awake to the
derelictions of spiritual men ; and it was not likely that
the Rev. Mr. Maule should utter a declaration of so
Christian and pious a character as that which he uttered
in his own vestry-room, when solicited to forward the
desire of his parishioners for week-day instruction,
without the public of other places, as well as Dover,
making their observations about it.
" No weekly services should take place in his church,
unless the committee first placed in the bank, for him
to draw out whenever he thought proper, as much as
they collected for the Sunday evening lectures ; and not
even then unless he bad the appointment of the officiating
minister." And when remonstratod with on the exor•
bitant demand of 1001., and asked if he would permit
sermons to be delivered in his church on a Wednesday
evening by
.two generally approved clergymen, who had
offered them services gratuitously, he answered—" He
would not !"

Such was our account of the Rev. Mr. Maule's pas-
toral behaviour. We think, if he will read the extract
again, and afterwards a chapter of the New Testament,
he will cease to wonder why any one should make obser-
vations on his conduct.

Almost at the instant of our going to press, we re-
ceive the painful information that the Rev. Mr. Manic
is still pursuing a course that must eventually set the
whole body of his prrishioners in battle-array against
him. The Reverend Gentleman, it appears, has been
on a trip of pleasure to Greenwich, and, during his ab-
sence from Dover, the committee for the Wednesday
evening lectures held several meetings, and came to the
resolution that, upon the return of their appointed
pastor, a deputation should wait upon him. Accord-
ingly, on Saturday last, the deputation sent a polite
message to the Rev. Mr. M., requesting to know at
what time it would be convenient for him to meet them.
" He would not meet them at all on the subject,—he
would not speak to them about it,—he would not
attend any of their meetings,—he would not allow
them, or any one they might recommend, the use of
his pulpit,—nor should they have any Wednesday-
evening lectures whatever !" Such was the answer of
a divine, whose duty it is to watch over the spiritual
welfare of two-thirds of the population of Dover ! We
shall now feel ourselves fully satisfied in laying before
our readers, in our next number, a more entire and
complete narrative of this case.—Kentish Mercury.

in the colonies, on which the supply depended.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the proposi-
tion made to the House was the admission of free
labour from the East Indies to the Mauritius.
The House decided against that proposition, but
as he understood on the ground that they had not
sufficient information, and not on the ground that it
ought to be denied at once and for ever.—(Cries of
" Hear, hear.") As he understood that to be the
wish of the House he certainly should not think him-
self justified in allowing the importation of free labour
into the Afauritius without that further information was
received. When that was received it would be for
Parliament to say whether it would sanction such a
plan. He did not think Government would be justi-
fied in advising the Crown to adopt it, until the
question had been brought before the House.
He was anxious by every means to increase free labour
in our colonies, being convinced it was only by reason
of a considerable increase of free labour that we
•could at all compete, or make any successful
rivalry with slave labour, which otherwise would, not
only in the general markets of the world, but in the mar-
kets of England, exceed free labour altogether.—(Hear.)

ird time and passed.
On the Order of the Day being moved for going
into Committee on the Ecclesiastical Duties and
Revenues Bill,
Mr. GOULBURN inquired when the Noble Lord
opposite intended to proceed with the Clergy Reserves
Bill ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was not then able to fix a day,
but it would not be brought on before Thursday or
Friday.
Colonel SIBTHORP thought the Government
were acting most unfairly in postponing measures from
day to day. He supposed they did so because they
had not their forces ready.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the ire of the Honourable
Gentleman had arisen from entire misapprehension.—
(Hear, bear.) The Government had not given any
notice of proceeding with the Bill that day, nor did
the delay rest with them, but was in consequence of
communications received from other persons.
Petitions against the Bill were presented by. Mr.
Liddel, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bell, and Lord Teignmouth.

NEW LABEL.

TN consequence of the great variety of Counter-
feit Wrappers of " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL,"
mow in circulation, and which so nearly resemble the original
as frequently to deceive the unwary, the Proprietors, acting
under a sense of duty, and regardless of expense in the attain—
ment of their object, the protection of the public from fraud
and imposition, have employed those celebrated Artists,
Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, who have succeeded in producing
" A NEW LABEL" from steel, of so complicated and intri-
cate a nature, and of such excessive difficulty of execution, as
to amount to an impossibility of imitation, and to be considered
by connoisseurs a masterpiece in the art of engraving.
The label forms a combination e f beautiful designs, a portion
encircling a BUST of her Majesty the " Queen," which sur-
mounts the words, in two lines,
ROWLAND'S
MACASSAR OIL,

(the ground work is composed of the nest elaborate and chaste
patterns of lace-work.) Under which are the Signature and
Address of the Proprietors in Red,
A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton-garden, London.
Counter-signed, ALEX. ROWLAND. -
The Label is backed by a design so exquisite and minute as
to defy competition ; it cimpi ices the words " Rowland's
Macassar Oil," written nearly 1,500 times, and containing,,
29,028 letters.

OPIUM.

Mr. MACLEAN begged to ask the Noble Lord
the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether it was the
intention of the Government to take any steps with re-
gard to the certificates and bills of exchange
which had been delivered to the British mer-
chants, on account of the opium surrendered.
It appeared by the Report of the Commit-
tee, that they had declined to interfere on the
subject, and he wished to know whether the
Noble Lord intended to bring forward any motion
for the purpose of granting compensation to these
merchants
Lord PALMERSTON had seen nothing to alter
the views he had already taken on the subject, and
which he had stated to the Committee of British
merchants.
Mr. MACLEAN wished to know whether' the
Goverment repudiated the acts of Captain Elliot
or whether they intended to continue him in the situa-
tion of Superintendent.
Lord PAMERSTON said it was nut their inten-
tion to recall Captain Elliot.
NEW SOUTH WALES.
Lord ELIOT wished to asks whether any des-
patch had been received from New South Wales, or
from the Governor of New Zealand.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said no despatches had
been received, and it was not the intention of his Hon.
Friend to bring forward the motion of which he had
given notice, in the absence of information.
PERSIA.
Mr. MILES begged to ask whether any negotiations
were going on for the renewal of friendly relations with
the Shah of Persia ?

Lord PALMERSTON said despatches had been
lately received from that Court, and ncgociations were
pending ; but at the present moment it would not be
propel to enter into any statement.
PORTUGUESE CLAIMS.

In answer to a question from Lord SANDON,
Lora PALMERSTON stated, that the Commis-
sioners for investigating the Portuguese Claims had
arrived in London, and had been in communication for
the purpose of arranging the plan of their proceedings ;
and he hoped in a short time they would be ready to
receive and investigate claims.
Lord SANDON inquired whether it was intended
to include naval claims.
Lord PALMERSTON apprehended that it would
include all those empinyed in naval or military services.
He was not aware, however, that there were many
naval claims.

tir the Royal Party, who will no doubt honour the Haymarket
with their presence shortly. The performance went off with

TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE.

REV. THEOBALD MATHEW IN DUBLIN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The most sanguine advocates for the successful pro-
gress of this great and glorious moral revolution could not have
anticipated the triumphal scenes which yesterday's proceedings
exhibited in this city, of which I endeavoured to give you a
faint outline in my hurried communication.
Those scenes, however extraordinary, have been surpassed
by the proceedings of this day. The immense space at the
rear of the Custom-house, and the numerous spacious ap-
proaches thereto were crowded; and the people evinced the
most intense interest in the extraordinary and solemn scene—
for truly may it be so called.
Thousands upon thousands of men and women voluntarily
and solemnly renouncing their most cherished, and therefore
insatiable propensities, those for intoxicating liquors. Public-
houses have become to a great extent deserted. Only two
cases of drunkenness heard yesterday in one of the police
offices. For no act does the Government deserve more the
gratitude of every well wisher for the peace, the morality, and
the consequent prosperity of this unfortunate country, than for
the encouragement given:to th is great peaceable moral movement.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Dublin, March 31.
