Law and Police.

Samuel and David Sloames, two amazingly swellish
persons, chiropodists, were brought up on a charge at
Greenwich. A dirty piece of paper was produced dur-
ing the evidence, illustrative of their occupation and
mutual enlightenment, viz.—" July 8,• 1841—Received
five pounds for opporating on Miss Williams' feet."
Lilleshall in Shropshire has just been the scene of an
intended murder, for the sake of plunder. Simms, the
Murderer, with a hammer of a pound weight, struck
Nicholls down, to obtain the silver bags in his possession.
Nicholls, however, raised the hue and cry time enough,
though sadly wounded. while Simms is in custody.
Throe young swells were brought up yesterday at
Marylebone, for blowing a cow-horn in Mr. Benjamin
Cabbeil's ear. The .blower was fined, the other two dis-
charged.
'At the Thames Police-offiz,e, yesterday, a man named
Neale, a pugilist, was committed for trial on the singular
charge of poking a man's eye out with a tobacco-pipe,
bacause he talked Irish in his presence, at a public-house
at Shadwell ! Neale's excuse was that while the man
was talking, he " bobbed " his head down, and the pipe
went of its own accord into his eye.

A young man of respectable appearance, who refused
to give his name, was charged yesterday at Union-hall,
with having attempted to commit suicide. The anony-
mous. gentleman was discovered hanging by the neck,
half choked, to the iron pallisades of Peckham Church.
When asked by the Magistrate how long he had enter-
tained the project of this exhibition, he replied that it
was a " momentary impulse." As he persisted in main-
taining his incognito, he was remanded until Saturday.
At a trial which took place at the Sheriffs' Court yes-
terday, respecting a certain sum demanded by a medical
man for surgical attendances, it was elicited in evidence
that " it depended upon the respectability of a patient
what he was to be charged !" See what it is to be re-
spectable ! The poor man enjoys the advantage of being
physicked into another world for little or nothing ; but
the rich man must pay through the nose for the pleasant
privilege of dying " by the Visitation of the Doctor !"

is made of small coal, and about 400,000 tons of this mineral is
annually conveyed upon it. The gage is 4 feet 81 inches, and

vast and marvellous Basilica of St. Peter's. This magnificent re-
presentation has been entirely constructed from the designs,
and under the superintendence of Mr. Danson, assisted by

SMALLWOOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Few of the cheap monthly periodicals are better
deserving of public favour than this, which is
conducted with evident care and judgment, and
usually contains one or more articles of superior
excellence. Among these, we may single out
the " Dentist of Frankfort," for it is a tale penned
in a terse, vigorous style, and abounds in ingeni-
ously conceived incidents, which are well put to-
gether and excite curiosity without violating
probability. " Philosophy in its Relation with
Christian Intellectualism" is an essay which,
though it displays powers of thought far above
mediocrity, is, we fear, but indifferently suited
to the pages of alight amusing Miscellany. " Blind
Man's Buff" is a story of the Carnival of Madrid
in 1834, penned in the lively, tripping measure
of :Lord Byron's Don Juan. The subjoined
stanzas upon conscience may, perhaps, be accep-
table to our readers :
Oar conscience is at times a ticklish guest,
And curbs and quells the boldest heart of man ;
Unnerves the arm, and daunts the bravest breast
That e'er pertain'd to gallant veteran :
I therefore do advise you to divest
Yourself of such retainer, if you can ;
Particularly when you are encroaching
Without a license—some would call it poaching.
The giant shrinks at its command ; it makes
The dwarf a giant, by a deadly wrong ;
The warrior trembles when his conscience quakes ;
The coward's heart grows, by injustice, strong ;
And so all evil doers—for your sakes—
Take my advice, and do not keep it long :
The way to put the miscreant to the rout
Time out of memory is to wear it out.
London, England, 1841-05-03

THE SPORTSMAN.

This Magazine, as usual, contains two spirite
plates, the best of which is "A Halt in the
Highlands"—a picturesque landscape sketch,
with a wild mountain back-ground, whose lofty
summits mingle with the sky on the verge of
the horizon. The figure of the sportsman, who is
seated on a fragment of rock, refreshing himself
with a glass of whiskey after the fatigues of the
day, exhibits much ease and grace of attitude.
The literary contents, which, of course, are ex-
clusively of a sporting character, are happily
adapted to the class of readers to whose tastes
they appeal. Among the various contributions
the one which we have perused with the most
pleasure is " Wanderings by the Lakes and
Rivers of Ireland," in which there is a racy de-
scription of Loch Neagh, " the largest lake in
the British Islands, being twenty miles long,
twelve broad, and covering an extent of ninety-
eight thousand two hundred and fifty statute
acres."

ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE.
Those who are fond of stirring., warlike inci-
dents will be greatly entertained. with Mr. Mas-
son's details of the " Fall of Khelat and the Cap-
ture of Lieutenant Loveday," which are given at
length in the current Number of this Miscellany.
For ourselves, however, we confess to have been
more pleased with an article under the quaint
title of " Something anent my duels and their
causes," for the spirit that suggested it is a
manly and honourable one, and the chief cir-
cumstances are related with unaffected sensibility.
The "Indian News," at the end of the Number
is as circumstantial as could be desired.

I)ATENT PERRYIAN PENS.
These Pens having been submitted to the test of public
opinion for many years, are acknowledged to stand pre-eminent
for the great superiority of their manufacture. The care be-
stowed in perfecting them to suit every description of writing,
renders them cheaper Vian the ordinary pens at a lower price.
Their adoption in the Government and other Public Offices,
B..nks, &c., with their great and increasing sale, is sufficient
evidence of the high estimation in which they are held.

THE TIMBER. DUTIES

There seems to be some doubt as to the pro-
position made by the- Chancellor of the Exche-
quer relative to the Timber Duties. Some of the
Journals, have stated that he meant to reduce
the duties on Baltic timber ss. the load; others
have -said 155.; but all agree, we believe, in
saying that hee-meant to follOw Lord Altborp's
Scheme. Now Lord Althorp proposed to reduce
the duties on Baltic timher..lss. the load, but he
spread the reduction over three years. The re-
solution on which he was defeated went to reduce
the duty on Baltic timber from 555. to 495. on
January 1, 1832; to :13s.'on January 1,18:33 ; and
to 40S. on the Ist of January-, 1834, making a
total reduction of 15s. The Chancellor of the
Exchequer, as we understand his proposition, is
to reduce the duty 155., but to make that reduc-
tion at one period. •

COMIC TALES AND SKETCHES, 2 Vols.
Cunninyhans, London, 1841.
These volumes consist of republications of cer-
tain tales and sketches, in prose, that have al-
ready appeared in Fraser's Magazine, the New
Monthly Magazine, and the Comic Almanack.
As they were much liked at the time of their ap-
pearance, and the majority of them were re-
printed in the United States, the author, who
styles himself Michael Angelo Titmarsh,
has done wisely to collect and republish them.
The bet of them is an extravaganza, entitled
" Some Passages in the Life of Major Gahagan,"
which is full of the broadest drollery, and con-
tains, besides, some smart, pungent hits at the
present rage for memoir-writing. We should be
glad to see Mr. Titmarsh try his hand at a satiri-
cal novel, for, if we mistake not, he would suc-
ceed admirably; posessing a shrewd and caustic
wit, and a quick apprehension of the peculiari-
ties of character, as he has abundantly shown in
his first production, the " Paris Sketch-book."

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

The history of " The mutiny at Vellore" is the
best account of that deplorable event which has
come under our notice. Many of our readers
are aware that on the 10th of July, 1806, several
regiments of Sepoys entered into a conspiracy to
murder the few European troops in the garrison,
and indeed all whom they suspected of fidelity to
the British Government. They nearly 4ccom-
plished their purpose. • Colonel St. John Fancourt,
the Commandant, and several other officers were
killed, and many wounded. Of the 69th regiment,
consisting of about 400 men, more than 200 were
killed and wounded, all the European invalid ar-
tillery were murdered, and of the insurgen s
about 450 were killed in the fort, exclusive of
large numbers afterwards executed. The narra-
tive is drawn up by an eye-witness still living.
Mr. Dent, who at the time was assistant-surgeon,
and took 'anlictive part in. suppressing the mu-
tiny. Among the other articles of interest are the
" Mids of Other Days," and the continuation of
adventures iu Georgia, Circassia, and Russia, by
Colonel Cameron. There are also some useful
communications from correspozdents on steam-
vessels and sea-lights for the prevention of colli-
i4on. The following is from a Glasgow Corre-
spondent, giving some account of the 14 steam-.
vessels which have been contracted for to carry
the West India Mails :

You will have observed the launch of the Clyde at Greenock,
the first of fourteen steam-frigates, o3tensihly belonging to the
Company that have contracted with Government to carry the
West India Mails, but virtually H.M. steamers of war, when-
ever an occasion for their services occurs ; these vessels will
therefore occasionally interest you.
The Clyde, the engineers, Caird and Co., expect to have
ready for a trial run on the Ist of May ; and unless this Com-
pany are retrograding, which is not likely, the result will be
satisfactory. Indeed, these magnificent vessels, being im-
provements on the present Halifax steamers, are likely to out-
strip stiff steam-ship they may meet ; and, I should suppose,
will be considerably faster than the Cyclops, Vesuvius, Medea,
or others of our first and second class war steamers. Nothing
has been produced here so handsome, strong or powerful, as
these vessels will all be ; another is expected to be launched
this mouth, and others will follow in rapid succession.
With a few of such vessels, some steamers of smaller dimen-
sions, a few first-class frigates, such as old 74's cleared of their
upper deck, or even of their poops only, and two or three first-
rates to accommodate an American 74, brother Jonathan
would stand a had chance with us in the event of hostilities ;
and the facilities for recapture off the destined ports which
steamers afford, would reduce privateering to as low a discount
as their Bank stock.

PLAN OF THE MILITARY AND NAVAL
OPERATIONS UNDER THE COMMAND
OF WOLFE AND SAUNDERS. BEFORE
QUEBEC.

W gide, London, 1841.

This Plan, or Map, which is upon an exten-
sive scale, and illustrates the naval and military
operations that led to the capture of Quebec,
and the closing triumph of General Wolfe, has
just been published by Mr. Wyld, the Geo
grapher, of Charing-cross. The plan is the pro-
duction of Mr. Alfred Hawkins, who has care-

fully compiled the typographical portion of it
from original surveys, and laid down with equal
accuracy the operations of the English naval and
military forces. Be has.represented also the de-
fences of the French under Montcalm, and in-
deed omitted not one single point, however mi-
nute, that may serve to explain the proceedings
of the attacking and defending parties. The
field-works of the British troops at the island of
Orleans; the entrenchments and line of battle
of the French army ; the redoubts, batteries, and
other defences, which extend t o a distance of
nearly nine miles—all these various explanatory
details, are delineated with a skill and accuracy
that is truly astonishing. The plan is still fur-
ther embellished with an exquisite miniature
copy of West's celebrated picture, the " Death
of Wolfe on the Field of Battle," and with a
sketch of the troops in the act of ascending the
lofty precipices to gain the heights of Abram.
This sketch is one of the most spirited things of
the sort we ever remember to have seen, and
gives a vivid idea of the perilous nature of the
achievement. A vignette, in the corner of the
Plan, represents Britannia, supported, by the
lion, pointing out to the victorious troops the
citadel of Cape Diamond; Wolfe's name is in-
scribed on her shield, on the rays of which are
emblazoned the names of the gallant regiments
which shared the glories of the day. The plan
is inscribed to the Members of the United Ser-

vice of the British Empire, and as illustrating
one of the most heroic conflicts that has taken
place in modern times, and which startled Eu-
rope like a thunder-clap, the odds having been at
least ten to one against the English army, will,
no doubt, obtain a large circulation among mili-
tary and naval men. As an engraving, the work
does infinite credit to Mr. Wylde, who has exe-
cuted it with a taste, and vigour, and distinct-
ness that no artist of the day can surpass.

rancour and sectarian exclusiveness.

SMALLWOOOD'S MAGAZINE.
Few of the cheap monthly periodicals are better
deserving- of public favour than this, which is
conducted with evident care and judgment, and
usually contains one or more articles of 'superior
excellence. Among these, we may single out
the " Dentist of Frankfort," for it is a tale penned
in a terse, vigorous style, and abounds in ingeni-
ously conceived incidents, which are well put to-
gether, and excite curiosity without violating
probability. " Philosophy in its Relation with
Christian Intellectualism" is an essay which,
though it displays powers of thought far above
mediocrity, is, we fear, but indifferently suited
to the pages of alight amusing Miscellany. " Blind
Man's Buff" is a story of the Carnival of Madrid
in 1=.34, penned in the lively, tripping measure
of Lord By-ron's Don Juan. The subjoined
stanzas upon conscience may, perhaps, be accep-
table to our readers :
Our conscience is at times a ticklish guest,
And curbs and quells the boldest heart of man ;
Unnerves the arm, and daunts the bravest breast
That. e'er pertain'd to gallant veteran :
I therefore do advise you to divest
Yourself of such retainer, if you can ;
Particularly when you are encroaching
Without a license—some would call it poaching.
The giant shrinks at its command ; it makes
The dwarf a giant, by:a deadly wrong;
The warrior trembles when his conscience quakes ;
The coward's heart grows, by injustice, strong ;
And so all evil doers—for your sakes—
Take my advice, and do not keep it long :
The way to put the miscreant to the rout
Time out of memory is to wear it

BATT V. ANNS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, referring it to the Master to inquire what was the
amount of the personal property of the testator received
by the defonlant after the payment of his debts.
TELLOCK v. HARTLEY.
The bill in this case was filed for the reconveyance of
an estate in Jamaica, for an account of the profits of that
estate, and also for a declaration of the right of the plain-
tiff to the compensation awarded for 284 slaves that
were upon the property. The plaintiffs were certain an-
nuitants and legatees, under the will of a lady named
Simpson, and the defendant, John Simpson, was the
eldest son and heir-at-law of that lady, and trus-
tee and executor under her will. John Simp-
son was for thirty years manager of the estates,
and about the year 1823, he having in him the
legal estate in the property in question, he executed a
mortgage on some proporty of his own which was suffi-
ciently general to comprise the present property. The
material defendants, besides Mr. Simpson were Messrs.
Hartley and Cliffe, who for more than thirty years were
the consipees of all the property in the West Indies
belonging to Mr. Simpson, and being creditors of John
Simpson to the extent of 90,0001.. They took from him
a conveyance of all his property in the West Indies,
together with his estates in the country, and under that
conveyance they contended they were entitled to the es-
tate in question.• Under these circumstances the present
bill was filed.

PALACE CQ67IIT, July 30.
turn` soli e. PAUL.
This was an action brought to recover a sum of money
alleged to be due for three quarters of a year's rent for
some stables. The defendant paid one quarter's rent
into Court, alleging that that was all that was due, and
produced a receipt for the previous (planer's rent, signed
by a man named Peach, who was in the employ of the
plaintiff. It appeared, however, that .Reach was entirely
ignorant of the amount of rent due, but had received the
money from Mr. Paul, who brought it to Mr. Robinson's
shop, for whom he worked as a cabinet-maker. The de-
fendant was unable to produce any other receipts, as ho
stated that he always destroyed all receipts except the
last.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da-

rOFLEXGN.

The fetes of July have passed over peaceably this
year. Our advices from Paris, dated yesterday, convey
the gratifying intelligence that, save a few idle shouts
from some drunken workmen, not the smallest attempt
was made to disturb the peace of the French capital.
Since the King had the good sense to disap-
point the miserable vanity of the maniacs who
attempted his life, by allowing their silly heads to re-
main upon their miserable shoulders, regicidal plots—
infernal machines—and the exercise of pistol-practice at
Royal carriages, have gone out of fashion. How often
when the guillotine reeked with blood, did we not pre-
dict that such a result would follow the exercise of Royal
clemency.
We find the following in the Chronicle of this
morning :—" The Hanoverian Deputies who refused to
vote the Budget, and who protested against the King's
conduct, have been warmly received by their constitu-
ents ; but the police force them to pay a fine of twelve
groschen for every vivat. The fines are willingly paid.
Thus his Majesty of Hanover makes money of his un-
popularity." Our Contemporary is mistaken. King
Ernest makes no money by his unpopularity ; for every
groschen he receives as a mulct for a shout in praise of
a patriot Deputy, it costs him at least ten to obtain the
slightest sympton of popular applause for himself. The
most loyal people in the world no longer shout " God
save the King" without being well paid for it ; and the
better class of Hanoverians will not sell their voices to
swell the regal-blessing-ery at any price. King Ernest
proceeds on a very bUsinßsg principle. He is a King,
and as such he insists that his subjects shall not give
that to others for nothing which he can only obtain, and
of an inferior quality too, by purchase.

The Hanoverian Minister of the Interior, by com-
mand of the King, has authorised the functionaries of
the State to prosecute and imprison all persons whatso-
ever that attempt to obstruct the exercise of the new
Constitution by an observance of their oaths to maintain
the Constitution granted them by King William the
Fourth. The King is angry that the Hanoverians con-
tinue so stupid as not to know that he can grant as
plenary a dispensation from oaths as was ever claimed
by the proudest pontiff claiming to sit in the
chair of St. Peter. But the Hanoverians have good rea-
sons for exhibiting such obtuseness of intellect. They
rightly appreciate the value of the liberties of which King
Ernest would rob them, and are resolved to maintain
them inviolate.

The war preparations in the arsenals of France are
not discontinued, although the Eastern question is
allowed on all hands to be settled. The fact, except
as regards the navy, gives us no uneasiness. The evil
will cure itself. The more taxes are spent in prepara-
tion fur wars the less there remains to carry them on.
Guns and ammunition are never wanting where there is
plenty of money. Ships and sailors to man them
are the only defences of a country which an overflowing
Treasury cannot command in any emergency.
