LAW AND POLICE.

The deposition of Mr. Dyer from the bench of
Magistrates, appears from the Lord Chancellor's and Mr.
Edmond's letters, to be solely on the score of indiscre-
tion. The explicit answer of the latter gentleman sets Mr.
Dyer before the public in a clear light. " I have no ob-
jection to state (Nyrites Mr. Edmond) that on the occasion
alluded to in your letter (viz. the private investigation).
nothing occurred injurious to your honour or character,
nor did I infer that you were to derive any advantage or
emolument from the transaction ; my impression was
that your motives were those of humanity."
A boy, fifteen years of age, apprentice to a chemist
in the New-road, and the son of respectable parents was
committed on Saturday, by Mr. Combe, the Police Ma-
gistrate, on a charge of purloining three halfpence.
London, England, 1841-07-13

AT NOME-MISCELLANEOUS.

The Devonport Independent states that the popula-
tion of Plymouth has increased 5,443 in the last ten years.
Alluding to the Tory prospects, the Devonport In-
dependent observes, " We shall not in the least regret
to find the Liberals acting in opposition ; necessity will
unite them firmly, and they will derive energy from the
aroused feeling of the country, another appeal to which
must speedily be made."
The Aberdeen Herald, speculating on the nature of
Sir B. Peel's budget, says, "We should infer that he
will either raise the postage to the uniform rate of two-
pence per half-ounce, or, following the old Tory policy,
contract for a loan. Intelligent men will be at no loss
to predict what will be the state of matters twelve months
hence."

We learn by the Glasgow Herald that it is intended
shortly to invite Mr. Dickens to a public dinner at Glas-

gow.

The Scotsman. alluding to the prospects of the Tory
party, justly observes :—" The important practical re-
sult which every individual of the Liberal interest
throughout the empire should lay to heart is this—that
even if Peel be compelled by his party to attempt the
reins of power, he cannot possibly, with the present Par-
liament, retain power for a twelvemonth. Let every man
therefore register without delay." . .

A Birmingham Paper states that the population of that
town has increased 25 per cent. on the census of 1831.
A dreadful fire took place on Saturday, near the
Deptford terminus of the Greenwich railway. Four
houses were destroyed, and many others damaged.
All the Norfolk and East county papers state that
the rains have wonderfully improved the wheat and bar-
ley crops. The Norwich Mercury says, "An agricultur-
ist on whom we can rely, assures us that his barleys
hhve risen twelve inches in ten days!"
Mr. Gomorde, at the Cheltenham dinner, thus sen-
tentially delivered himself :—" Talk of the distress
brought on by Liberal measures. Look back on Tory
times. Remember the distress among the agriculturists
in 1817, and the representations then made. Remember
how the Blanketeers were about to march to London,
with a view to redress their grievances. Remember the
burnings of 1830."
Lord Segrave, speaking at the late Berkely dinner,
at Cheltenham, said that the Tories resisted every in-
quiry into the necessity of, or the application of, Church-
rates, and related the following humourous circum-
stance, which filled him with a strong impression that
some inquiry into these rates was necessary. " A friend
of mine," said his Lordship in the House of Commons,
" requested me to present a petition to the House of
Lords, from a parish in the neighbourhood, against
Church-rates, and, among other allegations in the peti-
tion, they stated that one year one of the items in the
Churchwardens' account was, twenty pounds for killing
sparrows !
" It is a singular fact," says the Brighton Herald,
" that all the chimney-sweepers at Brighton voted for
the Tory"—Toryism must be highly flattered at having
supporters with hands as clean as its own, and who deal,
as largely as itself, in smoke!

HORTICU LT URAL SOCIETY.

The th.rd and last fete of the season took place en Saturday
afternoon, at the Society's grounds at Chiswick. The attend-
ance, though not so fashionable as usual, owing to the very
tally period at which the season has this year broken up, was
numerous and respectable ; the number was computed at 7,000.
The exhibition of fruit \cgs particularly good. The pines and
cherries, especially, called forth universal admiration, and there
was one basket of grapes finer and richer than anything we
have ever seen within the tents of the Society. The show of
flowers is never as good at this fete as at these of the two pre-
vious months, and the present occasion was not an exception to
the rule. Several military bands were in attendance and
played remarkably well. The following is the list of the
prizes :--

ELECTIONEERING.

A reward of 1001. has been offered for the recovery
of the poll-books of Aberystwyth which were stolen
from a hotel in Cardigan.
The excited state of Carlow is fearful. The Bruen-
ites bring up their freeholders to the poll under guard
of police and lancers.
Flintshire election does not promise to come off
without riot. The 68th Foot are out, and on the spot
Several carriages have been destroyed, and the windows
of the Lion Hotel smashed to atoms. Strong parties of
miners and colliers are parading the town of Mold,
armed with heavy bludgeons. Everything in excitement.

HAMBURGH MAIL.

lIANoVER, JULY. 6.—Tne physicians have very ear-
nestly ordered the King to go to Ems, for the benefit of
the waters, and his Majesty, as we hear, will very
shortly follow their advice, and probably not go first to
his summer residence . The King is said to be still very
much hurt by the death of .the Queen, more so than
was expected from his firm and manly character, not-
withstanding the reciprocal affection that was here seen
to exist between him an.l his awrust consort. The
Crown Prince, too, is deeply affeeteeat the loss of a ten-
der mother and judicious frirnd. Her Majesty's death is
generally regretted, and almost all persons of the better
class wear mourning.
HANOVER, JULY 7.—The funeral of the late Queen
took place ; it was at very affecting sight, to
behold the much afflicted, agJd monarch, with his head
uncovered, follow the hearse on foot. Next came the
Crown Prince with one of his sisters (the Duchess of
Dessau and the Princess of Rudelstadt), on each arm.
Then followed the other sons of the Queen, Prince
Frederick of Russia and the Princes Alexander and
Bernhard of &thus Braunfels. The hearse was drawn
by eight black horses. The coffin, was very richly or-
namented, and on it was the Royal Crown resting on a
wreath of white roses. The way from' the Palace to the
Chapel was covered with black cloth, on which young
girls had scattered flowers. A vast number of specta-
tors filled the streets and the houses up to the rOofS.
BERLIN, JULY s.—The population of the kingdom of
Prussia at the end. of 1840, was 14,907,091 ; at the end
of 1837 it was 14,098,125, the increase is 808,966.

THE DIE IS CAST !

(From our Second Edition of Last Night)

Thank GoD ! the cause of freedom and the
people still prevails, and the days of mono-
poly are numbered ! Up! men of England, Scot.
land, and Ireland, and do your duty ! Prepare
to set the houses of your new representatives
in order, and cast those who have deceived
you and the country to the winds! Success is
the handmaid of those only who resolve to win
lier good graces; woo her, therefore, like your
fathers of old, and assert the dignity of men. Be
longer the slaves of monopoly at home, while
you expend your treasure, your blood, and your
humanity in the glorious, but hitherto vain,
s
hope of extinguishinglavery abroad. There
the sugar monopolists have leagued, and still do
cabal, to defeat your noble endeavours. But the
cup of bitterness will return to their own lips, if
you be now but true to yourstAves.
A. DISSOLUTION of Parliament is RE-
SOLVED ON, and, before that day
comes, it. is your duty to be prepared.
To be forewarned is to. be fore-armed. Your
aemies know, by intuition, that the danger is
coming, and, they tremble while they believe!
It is yo;dyg, like honest men and prudent gene-
:als,:to be prepared for what may happen.

Look then to yourselves and your country—
look to your wives and your dear children, and
then, look out for good men and true, to repre-
bent you in Parliament—men who will protect
your rights, assert your remaining liberties--men
'who will arrest the onward march of the op-
pressor, relieve the poor, and do equal justice to
ALL.' Such men ought to be the representatives
of people who boast in calling themselves free.
Men of the three kingdoms I so truly loyal to a
patriotic and beloved QUEEN now prove your
loyalty to her, and your duty to yourselves, by
returning at the ensuing General Election
Gentlemen who will support the Throne, protect
the people, and do honour to themselves by
-etting a brilliant example to posterity!
A DIBSOLUTION IS AT HAND! and the days
of Monopoly are numbered ! Long live the

RE-ANIMATION.

THE MEDICINAL EFFECTS of STEEL,
as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for
ages to excel those of all other articles of the Materia Mediea,
and in this age of luxury and dissipation, when the indiscretions
of youth disappoint the expectations of maturity, it is not to be
wondered that a medicine of such efficacy as SEDDON'S
genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES of STEEL should have
attracted the attention of the first medical men in Europe.
When the most important functions of life are suspended, and
those who are invalids by inheritance or imprudence are reduced
to the most deplorable state of nervous debility, it is not in
despair that relief is to be found. It has been ascertained, be-
yond a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by a ge-
neral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex ; and it
is equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES are the best,
if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of de-
bility. When taken into the stomach they immetliately diffuse
themselves like a vapour through every pore, producing effects
at once delightful, salutary, and permanent. When the spark
of life begins to grow dim, the circulation, languid, and the
faculties paralysed, these Lozenges arc found to give tone to
the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits, invigorate the body,
and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise,
loss or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, indicate
approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved
and restored to health and society by the benign influence of
this medicine.

RUSSIA.

ST. PETEassuRCII, MAY 7.—The navigation between St.
Poersbuigh and Cronstadt has been opened for a few clays, bit
the communication between the latter and the sea is still
much obstructed by ice. On the 4th of this month the frigate
which, is to take the post of guard-ship could not proceed to its
station, on account of the floating ice in the Gulf. Go the
same day a Tuscan ship, the Nicole Primo, Captain Y.eini.
anchored near the Merchants' port, and the English ship Alex-
andrina, Capt. flames, entered the port; both came from Messina,
with fruit. Seven, other ships from ~Messina, with similar
cargoes, arrived the next day, and six others were in sight.

MONOPOLISTS AND ANTI-MONOPOLISTS.—
One very remarkable feature of parties at the present mo-
ment is, that the Tories are becoming more and more in-.
sulated. Their interests are becoming more clearly de-
fined in opposition to' the People. Their monopolies and
unjust privileges are brought into a more direct contrast
with the failing revenue and ruined manufactures of the.
country. Monopoly and distress stand face to faee__.
shown plainly to the least observant as cause and' effect.
Still more, it has been *Made evident by Ministers that
the comforts and rights of the people are not the only
things at stake. The greatness of England and her in-.
flume° as a nation are proved to be endangered, and that
is the true ground on which they will appeal to the coun-
try. ' It is not the question of Whig or Tory ; it is one
of freedom or the rule of a mere faotion—interests perti-
naciously upheld, by every corrupt engine, for a small
party at the expense of the prosperity and happiness of
the entire nation. The Crown is with the Ministers, the
people are with them, the justice of a good cause is with
them ; there need be very little anxiety as to their ulti.,
mate success. But there shoUld be neither apathy nor
indifferenCe An the part Of the people, even in the mi-
no* detail. of this ail-important reform. The policy
of Ministers, as explained by Mr. Labouchere, is not in-
tended to be confined to the measure now introduced ; it
is to extend to an alteration of the principle of our whole
trade, and will, therefore immediately affect the entire
community.—Cork Southern Reporter,

SWITZERLAND.

The Universal Swiss Gazette of the 15th instant publishes
the following article, which is of some importance as regards
the disputes in Switzerland, as the refusal of the Grind eQun-
cil of Argau to revoke the decree soppresiing the oonvents may,
lead to coercive measures on the part of the Diet :-
44 13ttntnt, MAY 15.—0 n Tuesday last the discussion 'con-
cerning the question of the convents was prolonged to six p.m.
without the absolute majority being obtained on any preposi-
tion. On the same day Doetor Jaeger made the following
motion :

" 1, That the cantons shall be requested not to carry into
effect the resolution of the Diet of the 2d of April.
" That if, contrary to what is hoped, this step should not
lead to any result, the canton of Argau will declare itself ready
to make some concessions without compromising its rights.
" 3. All measures of execution shall be suspended until the
question shall have received a definitive solution.

" The Grand Council adopted the tvrt;i;;t;esolutions by a
majority of 115, and the third by a very large majority. The
Council also gave instructions to the Lesser Council to issue
a circular to the cantons, in which it should be exprenly de-
clared that the suppression of the convents did not' arise .from
any motives of cupidity, and that their confiscated property
should be devoted to rellgious purposes. The Catholic opposi-
tion in the Grand Council immediately drew up a declaration
to the effect that they did not consider the above relolutions
satisfactory."

INSOLVENT COURT.-(TI-IIS DAY)
(Before Commissioners REYNOLDS and BowErt.)
IN RE WILLIAM BROOKE,

The insolvent, who was a very aged man, applied to be dis-
charged under the benefit of the Act. He had been a farmer
near Epsom, and ascribed his insolvency to a failure of crops
and fluctuating prices.
Mr. CooKE, on the part of certain creditors, opposed his
discharge, on the ground that the failed to account satisfac-
Orily for the disposal of an annuity, which he inherited from
the late William Lake, Esq., of Epsom.
The insolvent, in his examination before the Court, said that
being indebted 1 o a shopkeeper in Epsom, named Barton, he trans-
ferred the annuity to him in payment of his demand, After a
lengthened discussion between the counsel on both sides the
Court ordered the further investigation of the case to stand
over until Mr. Barton and one of the executors of Wm. Lake,
Esq., should be in attendance.

A number of unopposed cases were tried and applicants dis-
charged forthwith, but the investigations were entirely without
public interest.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Mary Bright, a young woman, apparently about-nineteen
years of age, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Jard'ne,
charged with attempting to drown herself.
George Dangerfield, a labourer at Hongerford Market,
stated, that about four o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner
walk down to the water at the foot. of the stairs at Hungcrford
Market, and deliberately jump in. He immediately called to
another man, and they proceeded to the spot, and succeeded in
rescuing the prisoner from her perilous situation, It was high
water at the time.

The prisoner, on being asked what she had to say, sated
she had been drinking. and that some time ago she received a
wound in her head, and whenever she took anything to drink,
she did not know what she was about.

The prisoner's sister here stepped forward, and said that the
prisoner lived with her, and that about two years ago she fill
down stairs, and fractured her skull, since which time if she
took anything to drink she became totaly unconscious of what
she did.

Mr. JARDINE directed her sister to take care of the pri-
soner in future, which she promised to do, and the prisoner
was discharged.
