to relieve those who suffer from Difficulty of Breathing.

ALTERATION OF FORM.

• _ _ _
This old-established and widely-circulated Journal, which is
already the Largest Newspaper published in Edinburgh, will
be still further Increased in Size at the beginning of the
New Year. Besides being printed on a Sheet of Greater
Diniensions, its form will be changed from Quarto to Folio,
so that a considerable portion of the blank space now required
for folding, will be filled with Letter-press. This alteration
has 'been resolved on to make up to the Readers of the
CHRONICLE for the encroachments which a constantly
increasing number of Advertisements has made on the Columns
devoted to other matter.

The CHRONICLE will continue to pursue that Liberal
and Indepeildont course which has acquired for it the character
of an honest and impartial. friend of Civil and Religious
Freedom.. Warmly attached to the principles of Progressive
Reform, it countenances neither the mad projects ofrevolu-
tionary agitators, nor the vacillating policy of the mere place-
hunting Statesman. Temperately written, and carefully
selected, it is peculiarly suitable for a Family Newspaper.
Tite Market Tables, Prices Current, and other useful Lists,
connected with Agriculture, Commerce, Manufactures, and
Shipping. are the most complete published in any Scottish
Ne wspaper.
Ft'orn the Extent and Character of its Circulation, the
CIIIIIONICLE is at present an Excellent Medium for Adver-
tisenients, and it will be rendered still more so by the active
nieaitire, that have recently been taken to increase the number
of it Subscribers, not only in Edinburgh, but in all the Pro-
vincial Towns.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Penny Postage carefully—if ne had, he would not
have grumbled at one of the greatest improvements of
the present day, or failed to perceive that in place of
being charged I bid. as he might have been formerly,
he can now be charged only 2d. fur double postage.
If pre-payment were made the general rule, and no
extra charge made near the post-hour, the letter
sorters would be absolutely smothered at seven o'clock.
We must beg the forbearance of several Correspondent!,

LONDON :
THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1140.

The ilforning Post yesterday says, the efficacy
or non-efficacy of the Corn-laws, is at least open to
dehate and argument. We apprehend that this is
about the first time it has been asserted in a moral
and civilized country that the propriety or the effi-

cacy of theft was open to argument. Ara the Corn-
laws anything but a mere theft, legalized by a aoleinn
act of the Legislature ? Can theLegislaturemondrous
as are its powers, by passing a law make a theft
other than a theft ? Can it alter the characteristics
of right and wrong ? Can that which when done
by an individual is universally stigmatised as a
crime, and is equally injurious to individuals and
society, be converted into a public virtue by being
decreed by those who intend to benefit themselves ?
Whatever may be the opinions of the Post, and the
Lords and Ladies it writes for, we, at least, be-
lieve that such a conversion is beyond the
power of any Legislature, and when we can
show that the Corn-laws sanction and ordain
thieving, we consider the public to be disgraced
and demoralized by being further called on to de-
monstrate that they are a great public injury.

The champions of the Corn-laws assert that
but for those laws the landowners would be ruined.
The ruin is exaggeration ; but they admit and state
that, wanting these laws, the., landlords would not
get as much wealth as they m)w get. The Corn-laws,
therefore, give them some Iv( :alth which they other-
wise would not have, which, I nit for these laws,would
not belong to them, and to, which they have no
other title or right than tha.z created by the law.
All wealth,
hits an owner. It is the
of creation, or fish—property.
however,
creation of labour, and becomes, by the very act

The Corn-laws, therefore, give the landowner

the property of other men. The State is consti-
tuted to protect
property, aal by such laws the
Legislature commits a double crime : it violates the
rights of individuals to their oiwn property, and it
d .
violates its own express duty.
But where does the wealth c Dine from which the
Corn-laws bestow o;; the lan diords ? It cannot

,% DELP Fl rr Tr n' •-,

Yates, who generally manages to turn every pass-
ing event to account, produced last Monday a dra -
inatic sketch illustrative of the removal of the re-
mains of Napoleon from St. Helena to their fit:al
resting-place, " on the Banks of the Seine," in the
midst of that enthusiastic and excitable people of
whom he was at once the idol and the impersona-
tion. The piece is entitled A Vision of St. Helena,
and consists of four scenes. The first is a view of
the landing-place at St. Helena, exquisitely painted
by Telbin, from a sketch by Mr. Ward. telhin, in
this seene, treads closely on the heels of Stanfield.
It is decidedly the best production that has hitherto
proceeded from his pencil, admirable as his former ef-
forts have been, and was loudly applauded. The gen-
tleman who did the dialogue, had the bad taste in
this scene to put into the mouth of Mrs. Fosbrooke,
who acts the part of a boarding-house keeper, cer-
tain political allusions as to the propriety of the
proposed removal of the remains of the -Emperor.
We are happy to say that the audience had the
good taste instantly to mark their sense of the im-
propriety of all such allusions by the most un-
equivocal signs of disapprobation, and we doubt not
that Yates will have the good sense to omit them
in the future representations of the piece.
The next scene is a boarding-house, and in this
Wright, who acts the part of a black cook, dances
a burlesque of the cachuca with exquisite humour ;
and he was, as a matter of course, called on to re-
peat it. The third scene represents the tomb of
Napoleon at St. Helena, with the sentinel keeping
watch. The spirit of the mighty dead appears, and
announces to the sentinel, whose life had been
saved by Napoleon, in Egypt, that the time is ap•
preaching when he shall at length be removed to

his last— resting-place among his own veterans.
The last scene, which is entitled " the Vision," re-
presents the interior of the Invalides, directly under-
neath the dome—the lying in state of Napoleon in
the chapelle ardente, previously to his re-interment.
Of the accuracy of the scene as a representation of
the interior of the rotonde of the Invalides, we can
vouch from our personal knowledge, and we have
no doubt, from the pains usually taken by Yates in
these matters, that the details of the ceremony are
equally correct. The effect was gorgeous in the
extreme, and the curtain fell amidst loud applause.
Yates came forward and announced the piece for
repetition every evening this week.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE SENTINEL AT BCKINO.
lIA'tM PALACE.—lnspecLor Russell, A division who is sta-
tic fitted at Buckingham Palace, with other officers, to pre-
ve r.t improper persons entering, came to this Court yester-
da about three o'clock in the afternoon, apparently in
breathless haste, bearing in his hand a broken sword, to
rec pest the attendance of Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate,
req iecting a lady of distinction, known in town for a con-
side ruble time by the title of Princess Resarliitz, and re-
markable for her eccentric habits, whom he had taken
into custody, on a charge of attempting to stab the sentinel
at ti entrance in St. James's Park, for refusing to allow
her to pass. It cppeared that the prisoner seeing one
of is 2r Majesty's pages, enveloped in a cloak, walking to-
ws rc s the gate, she attempted to overtake him, but not
bei rig able, she called repeatedly to him, supposing him to be
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and just as the page had
gai ued the door the sentinel, observing her conduct, told
her ,she could not be admitted, which irritated her to such
a d Tree, she drew a short sword from under her dress and
mach a thrust at him, but he fortunately parried off the
wean m, and constable Payne coming up at the moment,
he se !zed her to wrest the sword from her hand, and sc-
curt . her. She then became very violent, and in her
stn; g gics with the ofil-,•er the sword was broken. Other
assi it ince being procured she was c,riveyed to the station-
boo in in Gardiner's-latie, WeitminF,ter, where she war or-
j der id .to remain until ten o'clock this day, when she will
be 1 pr rught to tha Home Secretary's Office, to 1),.! examined.
