CRIMINAL COURT, APRIL 14.

(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
CONCEALING THE BIRTH OF A CHlLD.—Clarissa
Prebble, aged 21, was indicted for that she, on the 24th
of March, at Greenwich, did cast and throw a child born
of her body into a certain privy, with endeavour and intent
to conceal the birth of the said child.

Several female witnesses were examined, and the fact
of pregnancy and deliNery were clearly proved, but there
was no evidence to iiustaiu the principal averment in the
indictment, viz., that she cast away the child with the view
of concealing its birth.
The Jtvey, under the direction of the Court, returned a
verdict of Acquittal.
Wm. Green and Sarah Davies were indicted for steal-
ing, on the 3d March, a gold ring, value 10s., the pro-
perty of John Butler, but the evidence being very incon-
clusive, the Jury acquitted both prisoners.
IN THE MATTER OF JOHN PORTER, alias J. PORTMAN.
—The above-named prisoner was convicted on Wednes-
day last of stealing divers printed books and other articles,
the property of Mr. Roberts, the proprietor of the Ches-
terfield Courier, to which Journal the prisoner was a
reporter.

Since the conviction a conference has been held be-
tween the Judge and Jury, and other communications hare
been made to the Court, in order to induec a lenient
sentence.

The prisoner was placed at the bar this morning, when
the Common Serjeant told him that he had given his case
every possible consideration in his power, and it did occur
to him that, perhaps, when some portion of the property
was taken it was taken without any contemplation of com-
mitting a felony. At the same time, there were other
articles besides printed books which had been sworn to.
After all, it was more in consideration of the strong re-
commendation of the Jury than his natural capacity and
respectable station he held in society that he was about to
pass the following lenient sentence, which was, that he be
kept to bald labour in the house of correction for the
county in which his offence was committed for the space of
three calendar months.

BOW STREET..--(THIS DAY.)

Sarah Neal and Ellen Smith were charged with having
robbed a gentleman, who resides in Westm nster, of his watch,
as he was passing along the Strand.
The complainant stated that he was going along the Strand
last evening rather the worse of liquor, when he met the pri-
soners, who asked him to treat them, and, as he was always
very liberal when a little intoxicated, he at once consented, and
proceeded with them to a public-house, and stayed there a
short time. As soon as they got into the street again he
felt the first prisoner's hands about his pockets, and
directly after she ran away, and he seized the other prisoner
and on putting his hand into his pocket he found his watch was
gone. Upon this he told the prisoner he had detained, that if
she would assist him to regain his watch, he would give her all
the money he had about him, as the watch was a family one,
and he had had it in his possession for twenty-five years. He
then gave the prisoner half-a. crown, and a little time after-
wards two shillings more, and she attempted to run away, but
he prevented her and gave her into custody. The other pri-
soner was subsequent), taken into custody.
A police officer, who was on duty at the station-house, over-
heard a conversation between the prisoners, as to how much
they could obtain on the watch.
The prisoners both denied the charge, and they were re-
manded till Wednesday next, in order that search might be
made for the watch.

greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth
assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was yottr Eye-
Snuff cured me. Shal be happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,

Commissioner of the lonian Islands.

This post iaies Pacha's acknowledgment of the
London address. I annex a copy of his Excellency Boghos
Bey's letter. The London address I sent you by the Oriental.
The Lotus steamer was unfortunate in her first trip. Her
voyage from Atfe to Cairo occupied 32 hours. She was de-
tained in Cairo 21 hours for a supply of coke, 13 hours of
which time the passengers were on board waiting her de-
parture. The coke ought to have been waiting her arrival in
Cairo. Her voyage back from Cairo to Atfe, with the cur-
rent, occupied 92 hours. The consequence of these delays
was, that all the passengers by her, each way, lost their pas-
sage ; those from Suez arrived about four hours after the
Oriental had left, and, owing to the French steamers not
taking passengers, will be detained a month in Egypt. The
Oriental and Peninsular Steam Navigation Company have
acted unadvisedly in running the Lotus themselves ; they had
far better leave the transit through Egypt entirely. in the
hands of those who have had so much practical experience in
working it, limitting themselves to assisting them if necessary,
instead of opposing them in any part of the route.
" The undersigned is expressly charged by his Highness the
Viceroy to testify to the merchants, bankers, and other persons
of consideration of the city of London, the satisfaction felt on
reading she address they have kindly directed to him.
" His Highness the Viceroy rejoices to see his intentions ap-
preciates' . he hls always thought that the more difficult the
circumstances, the more necessary is it to guard against any
impassioned influence, and that humanity and justice are the
surest guides in similar occasions. His Highness cannot know
whether his conduct in this respect will bear the fruits that are
hoped from it, but the conviction of having fulfilled his duties
as a man and as a governor, suffices to procure him that tran-
quillity of soul which is the greatest happiness in this world.
" The undersigned thanks, on the part of his Highness the
Viceroy, the merchants,bankers, and other persons of considera-
tion of the City of London, for the good wishes which in their
address relate to his person, his family, and the countries to
which they dedicate their career. His Highness hopes for
the realization of these wishes in the concurrence of all well-
intentioned men.

Ihe undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to offer
the homage of the high consideration with which he has the
honour to be their very obedient and very humble servant,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Seeing that a hand-bill distributed in Padding-
ton, signed by a non-elector, William Cross, has been
copied into your columns, attributing to Mr. Cabbell
the following expressions at a late meeting of his friends
in that parish, "If you fear God and value your im-
mortal souls you will send me and Sir James Hamilton
to Parliament. The Whigs and Radicals are a contempt-
able crew, they are impertinent fellows, I hate them as I
hate the lowest depths of hell,"— as:Chairman of that meet-
ing, I beg to inform you that no such expressions were
made use of by Mr. Cabbell at the meetink alluded to ;
and that had the language attributed to him been used
by him or any one else, friend or foe, I would have
stopped it, or Vacated the chair. -
I rely upon your sense of justice to insert the above.

TRANSLATION FROM DECREE.

MONTE VIDEO, FEB. 11, 1841.—The repeated acts of
depredation and ferocity, which the Governor of Buenos
Ayres orders and tolerates by his decree of the 22d of
January last, which declares the rivers Uruguay and
Panama closed to the flag of this Republic, show that he re-
spects nothing and extends the war even against pacific
traders and owners of property. Therefore this Govern-
ment finds itself (much to its regret) compelled, in order
to thwart his views, to adopt similar measures and to
extend the rigour of the means of war to all that which
belongs to, or is dependent on its enemy. For these
considerations it declares--
Ist. Ten days after the publication of the present de-
cree, all vessels found navigating under the Buenos
Ayrean flag, and with despatches of the Governor of
Buenos Ayres, in the rivers Uruguay, Panama, and La
Plata, both vessel and cargo are declared good prizes.
• That which is expressed in the foregoing article
will take etiat on such Argentine vessels found navi-
gating the high seas thirty days after its publication.
31Vessels proceeding from the ports of Corrientes
are not included in the first article.
4th. All citizens and subjects of the Oriental State of
the Uruguay are authorised to arm privateers, pursue
and capture Argentine vessels ; furnishing themselves
with a corresponding commission, and conforming to the
other formalities of the ordinances.
Atli, The vessels and cargoes captured shall be
awarded to the aaptors with integrity, according to the
sentence of 'the WM4490 trthlinftli which shall be
named by a separate decree, and also who shall pro-
nounce sentence briefly and siumnarily according to the
papers and despatches of the captured vessels,
sth. All vessels under the Oriental flag found going to
or coming from any port of the Argentine Republic
which is prohibited, shall also be declared with their
cargoes good prizes, and their owners furthermore fined
according to the discretion of the Government.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTEL—There was some further improvement
in the , demand for yarn yesterday ; and, in some cases,
we believe a trifling advance was obtained on some de-
scriptions of water twist. In goods, however, there was
no improvement, and sales were made with difficulty 'at
the prices of last week.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 21.—
The• market has been rather brisker to-day ; yet the
business transacted has been but limited, and at low
prices. There is no change in the wool market.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 22.—There was
very little business of any description done, save in
electioneering, of which there was a striking manifesta-
tion in favour of free trade and cheap food ; the candi-
dates who advocate these principles having met with a
very cordial reception by tens of thousands. In other
respects this may be noted comparatively a blank, but
parties are animated with hope that the hydra of mono-
poly has received its death-blow, and that trade will
soon once more flourish.

PORTUGUESE BONDS.

At a meeting of the Committee of Bondholders held yester-
day at their chambers, the subjoined resolution was agreed to.
It is certainly high time that foreign nations should be com-
pelled to pay at least the interest of the capital sent from this
country to establish their independence and secure free ins i-
tutions. Many of these bondholders have suffered great dis-
tress from the nefarious conduct of Governments that could pay
if they only chose to be honest :
Resolved,—That the Committee of the Portuguese Bond-
holders, as a new Parliament is about to be elected, do invite
the Committees of all Foreign Bondholders to join them in
calling a public meeting at the Mansion-House for the purpose
of passing resolutions to memorialize the new Parliament,
when assembled, to address her Majesty, praying that she
would take immediate measures for compelling all Foreign
States which have not fulfilled their engagements, to pay up
all arrears of interest due on their several obligations, and give
satisfactory tangible security for the principa ; and, further,
that an address be sent to the several candidates for seats in
the ensuing Parliament, calling upon them, if returned, to
support in the most decided manner the petition for justice to
the thousands of sufferers deprived of a capital amounting to
upwards of one hundred millions sterling.
Resolved,—That a Sub-Committee be appointed to draw up
the necessary resolutions, and to carry out fully the objects of
the foregoing resolutions.

claim, and they believed his story to be true."
Tn., Hon. Proprietor was proceeding, when he was
again interrupted for a considerable time by several of
the Proprietors suggesting the postponement of the mo-
tion, o,nd rising to order.
Sir J. LIISHINGTON said that if Mr. Lewis went on,
the r.,,urt would be obliged to move the amendment
which had been proposed last February, which was to
the effect, that this Court continued to be of the opinion
that it as inexpedient, and that they decline to inter-
11-Te" with the responsible Executive, in the affairs of
the Rajzth.
After a few words from Mr. SYKES,
Mr. G. THOMPSON said that he had travelled four hun-
drol miles to attend this discussion. In his opinion, the
additional papers were not necessary to the decision of
the question.
After a desultory conversation, Mr. Salomon's motion
wa.s put and agreed to.
Mr. LEWIS then moved that the Court should adjourn
to the 14th July, for the purpose of taking the papers
reia,tive to the Rajah of Sattara into consideration. The
motion being put, was agreed to unanimously.
TIL ourt then adjourned.

THE SOUND DUES.

It was recently stated by Mr. Labouchere, in the
House of Commons, that a treaty had been concluded
with Denmark, by which a considerable reduction would
be made in the Sound dues, collected by that Govern-
ment. We have been favoured with a letter received by
a mercantile house in this town from Elsineur, dated the
15th instant, and stating that from that day the follow-
ingimportant changes would be made in the duties on
some of the principal articles of commerce :
Cotton Twist, per 1001bs. 16 stivers (is. Bd.) instead of
36 stivers.
Coffee, per 100Ibs. 6 stivers (714.). instead of 24 stivers.
Raw. Sugar, per 100Ibs., 5 stivers (W.), instead of 9
stivers.

Lob wood and Fustie, per 1,000 lbs., 8 stivers (10d.), in
stead of 36 stivers.

Manufactures of Cotton of all descriptions, with the
exception of ordinary white cottons and the descriptions
hereinafter enumerated, are to one
cotton per cent. ad va-
lorem. The excepted descriptions—viz.,
stock-
ings, per 50 pair, the duty is reduced from
30 stiversto6
(about lid. sterling) ; and cotton socks,
kser 100 pair,
precisely the same amounts. Cotton thread,p Turkey-red
cotton twist, and cotton embroidering yarn respectively
from 30 to 15 stivers (Is. Sid.); and cotton knitting yarn,
from 18 to 15 stivers.
In addition to these changes, considerable reductions
appear to have been made on about fifty other articles of
smaller importance.—Manchester Guardian.

It is now for the people to be true to their So-
vereign and themselves. Shall it be said that the Queen
of Great Britain was anxious to " provide for the pub-
lic service " " in a manner least burdensome to the com-
munity "—that with this generous and patriotic resolve
she appealed to the British people for support—and that
both Sovereign and people were compelled to forego
their object, and succumb to the tyrannical, corrupt,
and plundering opposition of a monopolising faction ?
This is the question for the constituent body to
decide. Whatever the result, the merits of the case
must remain unaltered. As in many former cases,
the success of the Tories would only more cogently
demonstrate the inefficiency and fraud of our present
representative system, and the refusal to modify the pro-
hibitory duties, that is, the perseverance in the scheme
of supporting the monopolists by starving the people,
would only make those now stickling for the finality of
the Reform Act become the disciples of further organic
change. It is thus that by opposing moderate reforms,
the Tories provoke the introduction of those of a more
extensive character: - Thus extremes meet ; and while
the excessive demands of tne Chartists induce many to
incline to the despotic discipline of Tory policy,,the re-
sistance of the Tories to just and necessary concessions,
on the contrary, induces many, otherwise moderate Re-
formers, to become advocates for assertin. g the extreme
principles of democratic government.--Advertiser.

classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be-
nefit Societies, and Loan Banks.

MONTE VIDEO

MONTE VIDEO, APRIL 6, 1841.—Herewith is enclosed
a translated copy of a decree promulgated by this Go-
vernment, under date of the 11th February, 1841, rela-
tive to war measures against the commerce of thu Argen-
tine Republic. In consequence of this, a vast number of
whale boats have been fitted and armed, and have de-
parted on a cruise, under commissions, or licenses :rom
this Government. They are generally manned with
foreigners of all nations, who are of the very lowest order
of men, and we are of opinion they are only calculated to
lead this Government into difficulties with neutral powers,
upon whose commerce in these waters piratical acts are
anticipated. Governor Rosas has positively refused to
grant similar licenses to the numerous applicants. and he
exhibits his wisdom and foresight thereby. Admiral
Brown, in command of the Argentine naval forces, con-
sisting of two brigs and four schooners, amountinc, in all
to about 50 guns, anchored in line near the mouth of this
harbour on the 30th ult., for the purpose of blockading
the armed vessels of this Republic in port. This he is
enabled to accomplish, being very superior in point of
force. The vessels of this Government are under the
command of Captain Coe, an American, of known bravery
and naval skill. They consist of 1 brig and 5 smaller
vessels, mounting in all about 30 guns, and we hardly
think he will risk an engagement.
A diabolical attempt has recently been made upon
the life of Governor Rosas, by the introduction of an
" Infernal Machine," said by report, to have been sent
from France. It was a small box containing sixteen
brass barrels, each being charged with an ounce ball and
detonating powder, and was presented as a present of
medals, &c. Miss Manueleta Roses, whose curiosity
had become excited, determined upon opening the
treasure. After removing the envelopes, a very
slight explosion took place without causing any injury.
It appeared upon examination, that the line or thread,
that had been fixed for the purpose of firing the barrels
off altogether, had by some casualty become entangled,
otherwise the innocent young lady would have been
blown to atoms. Her father the Governor, it is said,
was in an adjoining room at the time, and of course much
alarmed.
This " Infernal Machine" was sent from this city to
Buenos Ayres (in one of the packets that still run be-
tween the two ports as formerly, but now under neutral
flags) and by forged letters directed to the care of Ad-
miral Dupotet, who was known to be at the latter city.
The Admiral having received the package, immediately
sent it to the Governor by his Secretary, Mon. Bassar,
who departed after its delivery.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

- - -
Sin,—Seeing that a hand-bill distributed in. Padding-
ton, signed by a non-elector, William Cross, has been
copied into your columns, attributing to Mr. Cabbell
the following expressions at a late meeting of his friends
in that parish, "If you fear God and value your im-
mortal souls you will send me and Sir James Hamilton
to Parliament. The Whigs and Radicals are a contempt-
able crew, they are impertinent fellows, I hate them as I
hate the lowest depths of hell,"— as:Chairman of that meet-
ing, I beg to inform you that no such expressions were
made use of by Mr. Cabbell at the meeting alluded to ;
and that had the language attributed to him been used
by him or any one else, friend or foe, I would have
stopped it, or vacated the chair.
I rely upon your sense of justice to insert the above.
Your obedient servant,

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF A SEAMAN.
—On Tuesday evening an inquest was held at the Le-
beck's Head public-house, Shadwell-market, on David
Cargill, aged thirty-three, a seaman on board the brig
Albion, of Montrose, who committed suicide by throw-
ing himself into the river. On the evening of Tuesday,
the 15th instant, the deceased, who had come on board
very drunk the night before, and who had spent all his
wages which he had received on the previous Saturday, all
at once exhibited symptoms of wildness in his manner, and
accidentally fell against the chain cable, by which he cut
his eye in a very serious manner. After some time he ap-
peared in a complete state of madness, and ran about the
deck, threatening to throw himself overbOard. He made
use of the most blasphemous expressions. A seaman
named Moody interfered, and attempted to secure him,
and receiving
him, and was deterred from further interference. The
a violent blow from the deceased, he left
deceased then ran forward and
w and jumped from the gang-
way into a barge alongside,
jumped into the river. Before any assistance could be
given, he was carried down the stream by the force of
the tide, and was drowned. Verdict—" That the de-
ceased committed self-destruction while labouring under
mental derangement."

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 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 w;11 show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society
