MALTA.'

Mr. ENV ART wished to ask the Secretary of the
Colonies whether he would object to lay before the
House the Report of the Commissioners appointed to
investigate into the state of Malta, more particularly
with regard to the subject on which he some time
since .presented a petition to the House ; he
meant on the subject of the establishment of a repre-
sentative assembly in the island. . .

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Commissioners
had not made any report on the subject, but ithey.had
given in a statement, and had acquainted him with their
reasons for postponing the publication of a Report.
Mr. I:\V ART wished to know if the Noble Lord
had any objection to lay those reasons before the House.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not believe the reasons
were mentioned in the statement, but he would look it
over to ascertain.

MISSES iLEMING.

Copy of Treasury Minute, dated I2th May, 1840 :--
My Lords have before them the following letter:—
" Barochan, by Paisley, sth May, 1840•
" Sir,—Our brother having got an accession of fortune,
which will enable him to provide for us comfortably with-
out aid of our pensions, we therefore now resign them from
this date.

" We remain, &c.,
(Signed) " ELIZABETH FLEMING.
CATHERINE FLEMINC.
JANE FLEMING.
" The Right Hon. F. T. Baring."

Inform the Miss Flemings that my Lords accept with
much satisfaction the resignation of their pensions.
It appears that pensions of 491. per annum have been
payable to each of these three ladies, having been granted
to them in 1792, in consideration of the services cf their
any
late father, who, after being m •years in the army, be"
came Colonel of a Volunteer Regiment, and an active Ma"
gistrate in troublesome times,
Their Lordships think it due to these ladies to record
has
their sense of the high and honourable feeling which
induced them to resign pensions granted under such c!r'
cumstances, and they desire that a copy of this minute be
laid before the House of Commons.

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 impassibility of imitation, and to be considered
by connossieurs a masterpiece in the art of engraving.
The label forms a combination of beautiful designs, a portion
encircling a BUST of her Majesty, the " Queen," which
surmounts the words, in two lines
ROWLAND'S
MACASSAR OIL.
(the ground work is composed of the most elaborate and chaste
patterns of lace-vrork). Under which are the Signature and
Address of the Proprietors, in Red,
A. ROWLAND and SON 20, Hatton-gardßen, London.
Counter-signed, ALEX. OWLAND.
The Label is backed by a design so exquisite and minute as
to defy competition ; it comprises the words " Rowlanri's
Macassar Oil," written nearly 1,500 times, and containing
29,028 letters.
"0, Hatton-garden, London, January 1, 1840.
The Lowest Price is 3s. 6d. ; the next 7s. ; or Family
Bottles (centaining, four small) at 10s. 6d. ; and Double that
size, 1/. Is.
Some Impostors call their trash the " Genuine Macassar
Oil," and sign it " A. Rowland Son," omitting the" Sr" offer-
ing it for sale under the lure of " cheapness."

V.ENING EDITION.

• . There wer, • ,reat
r r eni ail but lic it,ur, s fur -a;e UP: sitop, and all the
Shelves were lull.

' The alleged libels were then put in and read, It per.
ported to be published by S. Cleave, 1, Shoe-lane.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. CHAMBERS then addressed the Jury, and said that
he must not attempt to deny that the passages complained
of were most gross and atrocieus libels, and he did not
intend to say a word upon that part of the subject, but his
defence was that the defendant was not guilty of the
criminal act of publishing those libels which was
ia:puted to him by the present indictment. The
Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that he sub-
mitted to the Jury that there was not sufficient evidence
of the fact of publication by Mr. Cleave, to warrant them
in convicting him of the offence. If he were pronounced
guilty upon this evidence, there was not a bookseller in
the city of London but might be brought there session
after session, and convicted of a similar offence. He was
instructed that Mr. Cleave never looked at the inside of
the work in question, but be merely sold it over his coun-
ter, as any other tradesman might do, and which was a
proceeding neither unlawful or improper. Unless, there-
fore, they denounced the bookselling trade, and said that
a bookseller was bound to read every work that came into
his shop, they could ❑ot convict the defendant.
Mr. ADOLPHUS replied.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up the evidence, and es•
plained the law applicable to the case.
The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, pronounced
a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Cleave was then committed to the custody of Mr.
Cope.—Sentence was deferred.

A BABY AMBASSADOR.—Here we met Per-
taub Sing, a boy of seven years of age, son of Sher Sing, and
grandson of Maharajah. He had been sent by his father to ac-
company us on our march through his district. Pertaub Sing
was handsomely dressed, armed with a small ornamented shield,
sword, and matchlock, all in miniature, covered with jewels,
and escorted by a small party of Sikh cavalry and some guns.
His horse was naturally of a white colour, but dyed with henna
to a deep scarlet. He is one of the most intelligent boys I ever
met with, very good-looking, with singularly large and expres-
sive eyes. His manners are in the highest degree attractive,
polished, and gentlemanlike, and totally free from all the mau-
vaise honte and awkwardness so generally found in European
children of that age. In the course of conversation I asked him
if his matchlock was a real one, and it he ever shot with it. He
jumped off his chair, highly indignant at the question, and,
after rapidly loading his musket, exclaimed, " Now, what shall
I shoot?" I replied that I saw nothing in the camp at present
it would be safe to shoot at, and asked him if he thought he
could hit a man at a hundred yards' distance; to which he re-
plied, without a moment's hesitation, pointing to the crowd of
Sikh chiefs and soldiers that surrounded the tent, "'these are
all your friends ; buz show me an enemy to tha British Govern
ment, and you shall soon see what I can de."— Osborne's Court

residing in the parishes near to the Forest of Hainault, to call
their attention to the fair at Fairlop, held in that Forest annu-
ally in the month of July. The ostensible object of the Rev.
Gentlemen was to bag the bench to suppress disorder, and to
prohibit the continuance of the Fair beyond one day, Friday.

PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS on the Nature, Symp-

" These works evince great professional and scientific ta-
lent. "—Oxford Chronicle, April 11, 1840.
" A successful mode of treating diseases so formidable, so
fatal, and so common as Dropsy and Consumption, which assail the
human frame from so many, and frequently from such opposite
causes, must obviously be an inestimable benefit to mankind.
There is scarcely a disease to which flesh is heir that may not
terminate either in Dropsy or Consumption, from the simple
cold, which inflames the mucous membrane, and obstructs the
secretions of the body, to the more appalling aneurism or ossi-
fication. From an enemy, therefore, that threatens from so
many quarters, and lurks in such complicated ambush, all men
have been anxious to be delivered ; but hitherto their wishes
have been disappointed. Dr. Bright details, step by step, his
mode of dealing with Dropsy and Consumption, the Medicines
he exhibits, and gives many actual cases of patients cured after
they had been given up by eminent members of His profession."

articles of the peace were annexed. The articles were

Mr. Dunn then
addressed the Judge at great length
and occasionally with great violence, and amidst re-
peated interruptions. At the conclusion the Learned Judge,
without calling upon Mr. Bodkin to make a single obser-
vation in reply, went through the four objections made to
commitment by the defendant, and decided that the. Court
of Queen's Bench possessed the power to amend and alter
a commitment, and that if the articles of the peace were
informal, the Judges were empowered to alter them if they
were exhibited in their own Court, and in, this view he
was borne out by the Master of the Crown.office, who had
informed him that he (Mr. Jones) had seen Lord Denman
upon one occasion alter articles of the peace
with his own hand. With respect, therefore, to the

the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE,
CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secrecy they hays hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urwthra, unhappily so preva-
lent, are reated upon those unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of nublic pa-
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain. . . .

Letters, containing an enclosure, trill be answered by return
and patients, however distant, will be cerresponded with until
recovered.

CIETY, 351, Strand.
Capital, 250,0001.
Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more vveaAlly, viz. :-
Ist. Insurii.g their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value us 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included_

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,

LAW IN TELLIGEN CE.

MOUSE OF LORDS—THURSDAY.
The
.House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers
present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Thanet,
and Earl Manvers.

HILL V. PAUL.
This case came before their Lordships, upon appeal
from the decision of the Court of Session. The ques-
tion in the case was whether under a trust deed executed
by the appellant, in order to secure his creditors, and
relieve himself from embarrassments, he conveyed his
right to his creditors to the emoluments of an office
called the Keeper of the Registers of Sasines, in the
Sheriffdom of Renfrew, in the regalities of Glasgow
and Paisley, notwithstanding his holding of that
office was not adverted to in the deed. On the case
coming on before the Court of Session, the Judges of
that Court decided that the deed did convey the appal-
lanes rights to the emoluments of the office in question,
and from that decision the present appeal was brought.
The LORD ADVOCATE and Mr. K. BRUCE appeared
for the appellants, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and
Mr. ANDERSON were counsel for the respondents.
The arguments not being concluded at four o'clock,
were postponed to Monday.
