PEOPLE'S EDITION OF

IR WALTER SCOTT'S NOVELS.
kJ On SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1842, and to be
continued each Saturday till the whole is completed, No. I,
Price Twopence, containing one sheet royal Bvo., double co-
lumns, of WAVERLEY ; or, 'TIS SIXTY YEARS
SINCE. With all the Author's Introductions and •Notes.
To be immediately follo‘ted by " Guy Mannering," " The
Antiquary," and all the other Novels and Romances of Sir
Walter Scott.

The Proprietors are anxious to meet the wishes of many in-
telligent Correspondents among the Working Classes, who re-
present that, notwithstanding the great circulation and unpa-
ralleled celebrity of THE WA VERLEY NOVELS, thou-
sands upon thousands of our industrious countrymen have yet
to form acquaintance with the Baron Bradwardines and Fergus
M'lvors, the Meg Alerrilees and Dominie Sampsons, the Edie
Ochiltrees, Old Mortalities, Die Vernons, Rob Roys, Jeanie
Deanses, and numberb ss other immortal creations of the Prince
of Novelists. The edition now announced will, it is hoped, be
allowed to put these marvellous performances within the reach
of the masses.

It is expected that the entire Novels will comprise about 260
sheets ; and, besides the Weekly Issue, a Monthly stitched
Part, price Ninepence, will be delivered with the Magazines.

THE GREAT MEETING AT LEEDS

Subsequently to inserting the Report of the
Meeting at Leeds, from the Manchester Guar-
dian, we were favoured by a more extended re-
port from the office of the Leeds Times, of which,
though we regret that we cannot now insert it,
we shall make considerable use. We are glad
to observe, from the remarks of our Contem-
porary, that half measures will not suit the
suffering and energetic men of Yorkshire. The
Leeds Times says :

" The report which we have given of the pro-
ceedings will show that statements of the utmost
importance were made—statements developing
a series of extraordinary and startling facts, whiciL
must open the eyes of all to the fearful depres-
sion of trade in this district, and the consequent
deplorable condition of the masses of its inhabi-
tants. It will not be forgotten, too, that these
statements were made on the authority of men of
unimpeachable character, of rigid integrity, of
extended means of knowledge on the subject,
and to whom trade in all its ramifications is fami-
liar. These, too, are the men—the most practi-
cal and best informed men—who are the most
uncompromising in their opposition to the Corn-
laws, and will be satisfied with nothing less than
total and immediate abolition. The marked dis-
satisfaction with which, towards the latter part of
the proceedings, the timid, hesitating, step by
step, inch by inch doctrines of Messrs. Aldam
and Holdsworth, the representatives of Leeds
and Wakefield, were received by the assembled
deputies, and the bold, earnest, energetic, and
unanswerable replies of Messrs. Plint and Forbes,
expressing, as from the enthusiasm with which
they were received they evidently did, the feel-
ings and opinions of the meeting, will be subjects
of congratulation to all who feel anxious for the
progress of the cause. It is not-by the inch-by-
inch progress advocated by Messrs. Aldam and.
Holdsworth, that the people of this country can
hope to extricate themselves from the mass of
misery in which they are now involved, and
which is every day closing and deepening around
Clem."

It is only by bold measures that success can be
commanded, and we believe that the landlords
will not give up their prey till they are terrified
from it by a distinct declaration on the part of
the manufacturing classes that they will not sub-
mit to be plundered by and for the landlords.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
QUEEN SQUARE.

Yesterday James Hopkins, a man about sixty years of
age, who lives at Manor house, Rochester-row, West-
minster, and is said to be very wealthy, surrendered to
his bail, and was placed in the dock, before Mr. Hard-
wick, charged with the abduction of Mary Anne Howell,
a weak-looking child, only ten years of age.
Mr. Price, the barrister, appeared for the prisoner.
Mary Howell, the mother of the child, was first exa-
mined. She said she was the wife of a shoemaker, and
lived at No. 37, Old Rochester-row, Westminster. Her
child was ten years of age on the 6th of April last.
She had known the prisoner for 24 years; he had formerly
kept an oil shop at the corner of Rochester-row.
and had been her husband's landlord eight years. On
last Monday week the prisoner came for his rent. No
one was then present but witness's son, who is thirteen
years of age, and her daughter, the subject of the pre-
sent complaint. After some conversation, prisoner said,
I want the girl to go with a lady to Southampton, who
is in very delicate health. She will have nothing to do
but to nurse the baby and run of little errands. Witness
said it was a long way for a child of such tender years to
go, and she must first ask the child's fattier. 'l'he child
was present all the time, and repeatedly said, "Do let
me go." 'l'he child, though so young, had always been
eager to go into service. When the father came in she
told him the circumstance, and he said he had no objec-
tion. The prisoner then went away, saying he would
bring the lady in the afternoon.
A number of witnesses were then examined, whose
evidence want to prove that the prisoner had, by fraudu-
lent representations, carried away the child, and the
Magistrate ordered him to find bail, himself in 200/., and
two sureties in 100/. each.

LITERA-fURE.

SOME IN Q ciRIES INTO TILE EFFECTS
O-C FERMENTED LIQUORS.
Semphin, London, 1841.
The author of this pamphlet, the first edition
of which was published nearly thirty years ago,
is Mr. Basil Montagu, who assures us in his
title-page that he is a water-drinker and, by
way of appropriate frontispime) embellishes
his work with a small viottte, representing
a goblet, out of which springs up a shower
of cold water, the very sight of which
is enough to e one the cholic. We
perused Mrs -;.rtontag-u's pamphlet with some. at-
tenticr.i, but cannot say that We have been much
edified by it, though we will acknowledge that it is
put together with considerable tact.? and that the
preface contains some ingenious (ma forcible rea-
soning. The author is not merely an advocate Ibr
moderation in the use of fermented liquors, but
insist€ on the necessity of total abstinence, and
brings forward a host of medical authorities
Ibr the purpose of showing that the juice
of the grape is little better than poison.
We do not hold with this sweeping dogma,
hut, on the contrary, we are persuaded that wine,
if not indulged in to an undue extent, is favour-
able to health and longevity—always supposing it
be not that composition of ink, vitriol, and sloe-
juice, which goes by the name of tavern-port, and
is apt to be quaffed in large quantities by patriots at
public dinners. At any rate, if wine be a poison,
it must be an uncommonly slow one, for it was
nearly ninety years killing the celebrated Cap-
tain Morris, one of the most ardent votaries of
Bacchus that modern times have known. •

fiei ORA.
Saunders and 01ley, London, 1841.
There is some sweet versification in this poem,
but we fear it is not one calculated to excite at-
tention in the present day, when the reading
public turn a deaf ear to the strains of the poet,
and " heed not the song of the charmer, charm
he never so wisely." Thirty years ago " Mora"
might have found many admirers; but now, it
has fallen on evil days, and must consequently
soon pass into oblivion:

to find such an individual in the gentleman whose health he
was about to verde, " Mr. T. Marsh Nelson, Architect to

Mt. NELSON, in acknowledging the toast, expressed his
great confidence in the Directors, and the ultimate completion
of the whole plan.
The VICE-PRESIDENT then proposed " the 'malt' $ of C.
J. Palmer and W. Worship, Esqrs., the solicitors of the Com-
pany." and complimented those gentlemen on the activity they
had displayed.
Mr. PALMER. and Mr. WORSHIP severally acknowledged
the compliment paid them, and in cxpre:sing their earnest
desire for the interest of the Company disclaimed any notion
of benefit in which the shareholders at large would not par-
ticipate.

Sir. T. M. NELSON then gave " Prosperity to the town of
Yarmouth," which the Chairman acknowledged,
Air ongst the other healths which were then drunk, we should
not overlook that of our worthy fellow-townsmen, J. E. Lacon,
Esq., who was absent for the benefit of his health. _

JENKINS V rHILLIPS.

•••41.01.a1,
This was an action for slanderous words spoken of the plain-
tiff, who was formerly a Baptist minister, by the defendant.
The defendant on the 13th of March, in last year, said that
Jenkins was a thief, a swindler, and a forger, and went on to
state his reasons for saying so. It appeared that the plaintiff
is no longer pastor of theßlenavon chapel, but it did not ap-
pear that his removal had been occasioned by the slander of
which he complained.
The first witness examined proved that the words spoken by
the defendant were in Welsh, upon which it was submitted by
Mr. Sergeant LUDI.OW, that inasmuch as the declaration
alleged the words to have been spoken in English, the plaintiff
must be nonsuited.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE thought the declaration defective,
but after a lengthened argument permitted the plaintiff's Coun-
sel to amend the declaration, by inserting the words spoken in
Welsh, upon payment by the plaintiff of the costs of the day.
This produced a compromise between the parties, and finally
a juror was withdrawn by consent,'
His LORDSHIP observing that the plaintiff's object evidently
was the vindication of his character, and he thought that object
was attained, inasmuch as the defendant had placed on the re-
cord no justification of the slanderous imputation complained of.
No other case of interest in either Court has occurred in the
course of the day.

THE TWO WALEACES.

The suspicions whether the same practices that have been
carried on in the case of the Dryad have been applied to other
vessels, have seriously engaged the attention of the part of the
public connected with the shipping interest. It seems now to
be ascertain ed that an organized sptem of f, and has for years
been exercised both against the insurance-offices and the indi-
vidual underwriters, and that by the parties who destroyed the
Dryad. But, with respect to any vessel at present out, an in-
clination is shown among parties engaged in inquiries to act
with great caution in trusting to the confessions of convicted
felons. A note has been posted at Lloyd's, and a meeting
has been held to- day among several underwriters, the object
of which is to ascertain, as tar as possible, the parties who
have effected insurances on the vessel, the fate of which
is at present a matter of surmise, and those who are prosecut-
ing the investigation are earnestly seeking the co-operation of
all who have a bona fide interest. The existence of a system
so atrocious is not merely regarded by underwriters with the
greatest apprehension, but also by the mercantile interest, as
its prevalence would destroy that confidence between the in-
sured and the underwriter which is now found absolutely ne-
cessary to carry on the business of insurance. In the case of
fire or life insurances a company can protect itself by making
every inquiry into the amount of goods insured, the
business carried on, and the health of the person, but
in marine insurance there is often no time to make in-
quiries, and the underwriters are obliged to rely on the state-
ment of the interested parties themselves as to the amount of
the property on which the policy is made. With respect to
the anxiety of the persons who are related to those on board the
vessels which is the subject of the present apprehensions, that is
to be much alleviated by the probability that if a vessel were to
I be wrecked the captain would accomplish that endirith as little
risk to himself, and with as little loss as possible, and for that
purpose would rather select the return than the outward voyage,
but otherwise this is a mere matter of conjecture Times.

BERLIN, MARCH 17.—The principal part of
our trade bas been disappointed in the most disagre. able
manner by the deplorable result of the fair of Frankfort-
sur-l'Ohr, which has just finished. Since its foundation
there have never been such complaints from both buyers
and sellers as at this time. Scarcely any purchaser from
the East came forward, for whose wants the fairs of these
towns were piineipally instituted; and the few merchants
and commissioners from Gallicia, Moldav:a, and Bessa-
rabia, who %ere there, made very trifling purchases.

ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS.
UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO-
CIETY, 1, King William-street, London.
Established 1834.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining foar-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
annual premiums of all those policies entitled to participation.
Policies effected before the Second Wednesday in Allay will
entitle the holders to participate in the profits twelve months
earlier than those effected at a subsequent period.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society :

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the cm dinary practitioner. Ti enter into the
details sithese affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
--. hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society,
s.-
...,.; whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider si.;:b Person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till 'three, and
Five ill Eight in the Evening; and Countrx Patients are re-
quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication must be accempanied by the "usual Consult's-
tion Fee of 11.," without wlicli no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on Indian risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from ektensive data and tables,
exclusively in the possession of this Society, to chow the true
risk of life during residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service.

FASHIONS FOR APRIL.

(From the " London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of
Fashion.")
Small patterns, stripes, and checks, will be fashionable this
season, in mourning dresses ; and for the promenade, poplins
brochees, watered silks, l'armure prairie, in small brochee
flowers, on light green ecru, or lilac grounds ; orientales, you
de soie, fleur delis ; velvet ailes de mouche, is the prettiest
n-ivelty, and derives its name from possessing the softness of
velvet, with lightness and variety of its tints; the armure ro-
caile is also admired. Tight sleeves cannot be considered
very general, in light materials they will not be admitted;
flounces are not much in favour, skirts continue
to be made lung, and the bodies are still pointed. Fancy bead
buttons are much used on ball dresses, and it is expected they
will be fashionable on redingotes this season. For hall dres-es,
crapes, gauzes, watered silks, with double and treble skirts,
guimp trimmings, marabouts, and flowers ornament them, the
corsage a la Grecque, and the short sleeves full trimmed.
Black has been very fashionable in Paris, whether in velvet,
satin, watered silk, crape, or lace dresses ornamented with
diamonds or flowers. Redingotes of silk are trimmed with
folds, edged by a narrow fringe, or with small chicorees.
Scarfs of the same material as the dress are much admired in
Paris, the ends are fringed, and the folds arc confined on the
shoulders ; they are worn in silk, mousselines de laine, &c. &c.
Scarfs of shaded silk, orange glacee, with white or blue glacee,
are trimmed with point d'Alencon • black lace scarfs, as well
as those of point lace, mechlin, muslin, china crape, and foulard,
are all in fashion.
A new shaped berthe has appeared, with four points, one
reaches to the point of the body, the others are on the shoulders
and back.
Berets, toques of black velvet, with marabout turbans re-
sille, round hats a la creole, aJa belle potties; turbans of gauze,
embroidered in gold, with crowns of velvet sprigged with gold,
or of cachemire, with scarfs of point lace and tassels, Aige.
rien. Coiffures Madonna ala Louis XIV., small toquets de
page, hats a la marquise, are all now in demand.
Straw bonnets are preparing in Paris, a jours, with liserees
of velvet, others with filets ofchenille ; also close coyotes of
Leghorn and paille de i iz. Capotes of crape are very fash-
ionable just now in Paris, in pink, green, lilac, with mars-
bouts of the same colour, or wreaths of roses, mixed with
heart's-ease and reseda.

We this morning received our papQrs and correspondence
from this island. Sir Henry M‘Leod arrived in the island on

private."
The agricultural prospects for the present year are thought
favourab'e. Immigration continues, but with some check,
from America, the ship William, from Baltimore, with ac-
commodations for 240, having lately brought only 22.
ANTIGUA.
Sir William Colebrooke is expected immediately to resume

ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS.
UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO-
CIETY, 1, King William-street, London.
Established Int.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the fire preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
annual premiums of all those policies entitled to participation.
Policies effected before the Second Wednesday in May will
entitle the holders to participate in the profits twelve months
earlier than those effected at a subsequent period.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society :

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA,the firm a,
from Mt Ah C
" I mentioned in my last that"7Sfu7lian
had arrived here, but that it contained conditions much at
variance with the terms of the treaty of July ant the Napier
Convention, that the Pacha has refused to vtcede to it, and
has addrs seed the Sultan, showing the positive injustice, as well
as the utter impossibiity, of governing E. apt under such ex-
traordinary trammels. Sir C. Napieer has approved of the
Pacha's proceedings in this transaction, and he does not hesi-
tate to declare that the conduct of the Porte is a most shame-
ful breach of faith. It is quite clear that Lord Ponsonhy should
have resisted the conduct of the Sultan, and insisted upon his
granting the full terms .of the treaty and convention to Mehemet
Ati, particularly' after he had fulfilled every condition to the full
satisfaction t f Sir C. Napier, particularly as the honour of Great
Britain was engiged in these arrangements. Aly own opinion is,
that. Lord Ponsonby considered the Pacha so fallen that he would
ace. pt any terms short of death. But this is another proof of
the want of knowledge this diplomatist has with regard to
Mehemet Ali. I am quite certain that the Pacha t‘iil not
accept any but the full conditions promised him, and it be-
hoves Great Britain to demand of the Sultan the immediate
fulfilment ( f the Convention. Unless this is done, all that has
been effected by British arms will have been thrown away.
Sir Charles Napier left in the Stromboli steamer for Marmorice,
on the tat inst. as he cannot do anything until he receives ad-
vices from England. The Pacha has been much pleased with
him; he has acted throughout the affair with good sense and,
tact, much to his own credit and for the interests of Great Bri-
tain. It was by his admirable management that he prevai!ed
upon the Pacha to give full effect to she Treaty of Commerce,
which I before mentioned to you had been 'put into
operation. Colonel Napier re:aains here to conduct to Syria
the remaining. Emirs and .T.ieiks sent. to this country as host-
ages, all of whom have arrived here, and are preparing for their
departure. The I t,
went to Cairo on the 23th ult. to see
Ibrahim, and s+ft'i remains absent. Strange reports are afloat,
both as to nis s.rious indisposition and disagreement with his
father •, the former is probable, but 1 do not think there is any
trrcn in the latter. IN'hile the political state of the country is
undefined, we cannot hope business to resume, and the extra-
ordinary delays and disappointments on this head male me
almost hopeless. It is said that the cotton crop a ill reach
180,000 cantars, hut it cant ot be correctly estimated at pre-
sent. I regret to inform you that we have h.d during the
month 14 cases of the plague. We are much in want cf
British shipping. The exchanges are upon London 73, at
three month's ; Alars illes, 52'2; Trieste, 123 ; Leghorn, 123;
