THE PAI RICIAIV.

The trial of Lord Grey, of Worke, for the abduc-
tion of Lady Henrietta Berkeley, his sister-in-law, in
the year 682, which is given in this month's Patri-
cian, provnts the low standard of morality among the
aristocracy of that period. It is, as the editor justly
remarks, " the history of a very foul transaction,
disclosing g milt of the blackest and deepest dye ;" and
yet the principal character in this foul transaction
was afterwards created Earl of Tankerville, and at
the time of hig death held the appointment of Lord
Privy Seal. Eto much for the honour, honesty, and
morality (and, apart from these, there can be no
wisdom) of oar ancestors. In this number we
have the commencement of a series of " Original
Letters from Eminent Persons," which pro-
mises to be most interesting. The series commences
with eight letters from Algernon Sidney and two
from John Locke, addressed to Mr. Benjamin Furley,
an English merch ant residing at Rotterdam. These
letters are from art unpublished collection in the pos-
session of Thomas Ignatius Forster, &LB., who is
descended from the gentleman to whom they were
addressed, and w:t.o also possesses the original MS.
copy of Loeke's Essay on the Human Understand-
ing. " Collectan e.s Heraldica" contains much plea
sant gossip on the subject of armorial bearings. We
hope to see the ":• Coilectanea Heraldica" continued
from time to ti,re in the pages of the Patrician.
This is an excellecnt number of the Patrician.

IN THE MATTER OF GARRETT.

This person, a solicitor, was a witness in a case,
" Blagden v. Booth," tried in this court on Wednesday,
and, being called on behalf of the defendant, stated that
the acceptance to the bill upon which the action had
been brought was not that of the defendant, but declined
to state by whom it was written.
Lord DENMAN intimated to the witness that he should
insist upon his giving up the name of the writer of the
acceptance.
The witnessed hesitated, and then said, that although
he had stated that another person as well as himself was
present when it was written, he had not said that that
otheriperson had written the acceptance.
Lord DENMAN—Is it, then, to be understood that
you yourself wrote the acceptance ? The witness gave
no answer to this question. He subsequently admitted
that he had been applied to by the defendant upon the
subject of his having put his (defendant's) name to a
number of bills, and that upon saying that the reports
to that effect were true, the defendant had manifested
much anger. He had been professionally engaged fur
the defendant.
Lord DENMAN, at the end of the trial, ordered Garbet
to stand committed to the custody of the Governor of
Horsemonger lane prison.
This afternoon Mr. PARRY applied to the Court to
admit the prisoner to bail, and to name the amount of
the recognizances his Lordship might think proper.
Lord DENMAN.—Why, the trial will come on next
week will it not ? Mr. Parry believed that was so; but
still it was highly desirable that the party should be ad-
mitted to bail. Ile was further instructed to apply for a
copy of Hs Lordship's notes of the trial.
Lord DENMAN.—Certainly not. It is a most impro-
per and unprecedented application.
Mr. PARRY begged to apologise, but ho had been in-
structed to make the application, and he had consequently
done so.

from
his
Lordship, renew the application. Would his Lordship,
however, direct that a copy of short-hand writers' notes
might be furnished?
Lord DENMAN had no doubt that they could be had
payment for them, and if so they might be supplied.
Ultimately it was arranged that notice of bail should be
given.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market, coast-
wise and by land carriage, have been on a very limited
scale; hence, the supply on offer to-day was trifling.
Owing to the large imports of foreign, the demand for
all kinds of Wheat of home produce was again exces-
sively heavy, and, to have effected sales, a further decline
of from Is to 2s per quarter must have been submitted
to. In foreign Wheat next to nothing was doing,
and the currencies were quite is per quarter
beneath those obtained on Monday. The imports
have amounted to nearly twenty thousand quarters.
We bad a fair average quantity of foreign Barley on

.how, but that of English was miserably small. Lh
trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Ia
Malt next to nothing was doing, at barely late rates.
Ott,, Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, were to be
purchased on easier terms.

too contemptible to be alluded to.

DURKEE'S GREEN MOUNTAIN VEGE-
TABLE OlNTMENT.—Prepared from a vegetable peculiar
to the green mountains of Vermont ; the astonishing properties of
which were first discovered by the Aborigines, and the knowledge of
its preparation disclosed to the present proprietor, who, after wit-
nessing for more than twenty years its wonderful effects in SUBDU-
ING INFLAM KATORY ACTION, and the extraordinary cures pro-
duced in Gout, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Affections, Ringworm, Piles,
Bronchitis, Inflammation of the Eyes, Swelled Breasts, Sore Nipples,
Chilblains, Scalds, Burns, and old and inveterate Ulcers, determined
to introduce it as a public medicine.

Having received liigh testimonials from the Surgeons of the Army
and Navy, of the important cures effected by this Ointment, together
with the immense sale it has obtained in the United States, the Pro-
prietor has considered it a duty to extend its use to Great Britain,
and has appointed Messrs. H. Preston and Son, wholesale Drug-

Political parties are so utterly dismembered that
there is the feeblest possible chance of a vigorously-
contested election on the dissolution of Parliament.
A few weeks alone intervene between this moment
and the general appeal to the electors, and yet the
note of preparation is only sounded at intermittent
intervals, and in a comparatively small number of
metropolitan and provincial constituencies. At an
-110 eh when there is a greater necessity than ever for
exertion. and discrimination on the part of the en-
franchised population, an universal lethargy seems to

LONDON, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 30, 1847.

:Mexico continues to be desolated, not merely by
its infamous invaders, but in a very particular and
lamentable' manner by internal dissensions. The
Aztec Empire appears to be crumbling away as much
from the disastrous anarchy caused by its own
traitorous children as from the vigorous assaults of
neighbours. Instead of banding to-
its unprincipled
gether for the protection of their common country,
for the vindication of their collective rights, and for
the maintenance of the national liberty, the Mexicans
are literally conniving at the movements of the in-
vading armies. Formerly they have been accused of
pusillanimity, now they may with equal reason be
scorned for their perfi<lious conduct in the abandon-
ment of the barriers of fatherland. The vast ma-
jority of the citize'is of that magnificent republic—
that republic winch Nature has qualified to be the
pivot upon which the commerce of an entire hemi-
orE9hgre)should turn, whose soil is fruitful beyond the

A striking R-r-411ARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
•
instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
"a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning from liarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re-
.sl,tletlisustainettso severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
,ffelit of several mores, duration, during which period his hair con-
tinued to come off, till he became, to pse his own.terms, "„as perfectly
bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel,
, then clergyman ofabe parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the
'effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the mosthappy results. As soon as pitt of a bottle was
used the growth-remilzdenced, and, he has not( tq boast of a very
thick mad' Ibuturiant,head'of hair, ~;')lch oreens this peculiarity,
that, though prior t 6 losing his hair it er...ic tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and :strong. This fact flpeaks too strongly
for itself to require obesrvation.—Bell's Messenger-

OVERLAND MAIL

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES.
The French Government received on Sunday the
follo%%ing telegraphic dispatches:—

" MALTA, JUNE 22.
" The India mail brings accounts of the 12th and
19th of May.
" Tranquillity prevailed in the Punjaub. Lord
Rarainge and the Commander-in-Chief were at
&all a.
" The disturbances continued in the dominions of
the Nizam. A mutiny having taken place= among
the troops, in consequence of an attempt made by
the Minister to deprive them of fifteen months' ar-
rears, the contingent was ordered to march, and for
the first time a body of English troops entered the
city of Hyderabad to protect the Minister.
" The Indian journals state, on the authority of
letters from Teheran, that the Shah of Persia had
renounced the intention of commanding in person
the expedition against Khorassan."

" MALTA, JUNE 22.

" We have received at Malta no Canton journal.
*The liong-Kong Register publishes an account of the
expedition against the city, together with several
official documents.

" General d'Aguilar had left Captain Graves at
Canton in command of the troops and volunteers, who
were daily drilled. _

" All business was interrupted at Canton, and the
Merchants were removing all their property, being
apprehensive either of a rising of the people, who
liitiiret plunder them as well as the foreigners, or of
Yew attack on the part of the English, who, they
Supposed, were expecting reinforcements from India.
" Menacing placards against the English and Go-
'vernor Ksyttig had been posted up through the city.
" The journals contain no news from Cochin-
'China."

FACTORIES.

The following is the half-yearly joint report of the
Inspectors of Factories (just laid before Parliament):—
Factory Office, May 27, 1847.
Sir—We have the honour to inform you that, in con-
formity with the Factory and Print Works Acts, we
have met to confer on the state of our respective dis-
tricts, and on such matters as concern us jointly towards
the fulfilment as nearly as possible, of an uniform admi-
nistrations of these Aets through the United Kingdom.
We have read and considered the reports which we have
severally addressed to you in regard to our respective
districts, and nothing has occurred that indicates any
want of uniformity in our proceedings in all that relates
to the interpretation of the Acts and the observance of
their several provisions.

Many naafi mills for carding wool are scattered on
streams in remote parts of England, Scotland, and
Wales ; these mills are only occasionally at work,
and the. wool carded is chiefly for the use of the
neighbouring cottagers. In these mills very few per-
sons are employed, generally only the family of the oc•
cupier. This kind of rural occupation cannot be identified
with the factory system ; and although, strictly speaking,
these mills come within the letter of the law, we have
considered that we exercise a sound discretion in direct-
ing the various sub-inspectors not to consider them as
requiring that same degree of supervision as establish-
ments where the factory system, properly so called,
prevails.

The remote situation of these woollen mills, in rural
districts, and frequently on mountain sides, the purely
domestic character of the occupation, and the usually
healthy state of the children and young persons em-
to justify this softening of the
operation of a law intended to co
ployed, appear to us
if
tcontrol mills of a totally
different character.

It having been suggested to us that each inspector
should for the future lay before you in his half-yearly
report i statement of the number and names of the
persons summoned for offences, with other details, hi-
therto laid before Parliament on an annual special mo-
tion, we have severally followed that plan on the pre-
sent occasion ; but as the return made in pursuance of
the order of the House of Commons, dated the 25th of
January last, includes the prosecutions for the months
of November and December last, the present returns
only include the prosecutions for four months, viz., from
the Ist of January to the 30th of April. If you approve
of this mode of making these returns, our future reports
will, of course, each embrace a period of six months.
We ha►e the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servants,
LEONARD HORNER.

TRIAL FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.

THE QUEEN, AT THE PROSECUTION OF BROWNE CLAYTON,
v. HENRY LANAUZE, STOCK BROKER.
Friday the Court of Queen's Bench was occupied the
greater part of the day in hearing the above case, which
arose out of the circumstance of the traverser havirg
been charged with obtaining money under false pre
tences, and for embezzlement of moneys entrusted to his
charge by Mr. Browne Clayton, for the purpose of in
vestment in Government securities, which moneys the
traverser applied to his own uses.
The jury found the traverser guilty on two counts,
one of which charged him with embezzlement.
The judgment of the Court cannot be pronounced until I
next term. The traverser in the meantime stands out
on bail.
