ADULTERATION OF TOBACCO WITH CHICO— 4}
Thomas and John Garton, of Lincoln, tobacco-manufact
were charged upon to o informations, ordered by the ee
missioners of Excise, with having adulterated their too ',f;
with chicory and other saccharine matters contrary to if 0
and also with having .the before-named illegal art.3o%-fer
their possession. 'Professor Graham, of the London ul o 0
sity, and Mr. G. Phillips, analytical chemists, attendee
behalf of the Crown ; Mr. Andrews for the defendants. ei
fessor Graham and Mr. G. Phillips proved having exsento
samples of the tobacco, which they found adulterated Wet
extent of three per cent. with saccharine matter. Thel`,ol
tested that tobacco in its natural state did not contain td
saccharine matter whatever, and that where two or 17
per cent. was obtained by fermentation from 03 ttd
factured tobacco, it was quite clear that saccharine 1,1:00
had been used for that purpose. These witnesses 0
examined at great length by Mr. Andrews, for
purpose of showing that the chemical fermentation
periments were not to be depended upon as oral Di
when only small portions of saccharine matter coati!!
obtained. These opinions, he contended, were suffiela6
borne out by the report of the Committee on the tewiilo
trade, made to the House of Commons in 1842. lle
read portions of the evidence given by the above gentivd
before that Committee, to show that their results of acti
ry
lion were by no means uniform, and particularly in eneote
of tobacco, which was perfectly pure, which they w
had Lti:#
to be adulterated with loaf bread cut up with the tici
and that it also contained a little sugar. The same 10
also contained conflicting opinions from the most e 0
chemists as to the accuracy of the Excise tests. The, 600
expressed themselves satisfied with the evidence, and ,ilOO
the defendants in the penalty of 501. The same defetw?
were again indicted for mixing five or six per cent. of p 0
eory with 7501b5. of tobacco. The solicitor for the defee, 0
51,
pleaded guilty, at the same time alleging that they ("
dants) were innocent, and that what was called chicoriiio
'"
merely smalls, received from retailers, and mixed 111)
the larger cut tobacco. In this case a fine of 1001. 0,,,f:(a
flicted; and in each case the tobacco was adjudged to be tIY
feited to the Crown. These cases were brought befores
magistrates on a former occasion, but the proceedings
quashed in consequence of an informality.

ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday afternoon, -s)
two o'clock, a most determined attempt at suicide was litired
by Mr. H. Thurstell, a gentleman residing in Albanre.joi
Regent's-park, who, from extensive losses caused by re3o4
speculation, has been for some time past in a very desflpil
state of mind. On returning home yesterday his tan
observed that he appeared more than usually depressed')
he had scarcely entered his room when she heard the o'o
of fire.

arsThurstell immediately` ran to his room whee,it

wound in his throat. Medical assistance was obtained, 10
it was ascertained that he had fired a loaded pistol io'.oo
mouth, but the ball taking a downward direction had 7 pf,
out through his throat, and some hopes are given of 1315

A .L'RIZE PEASANT SHOW.—The custom Of glide
ing cattle to an unnatural degree, is, we are tolcley
sirable, for the purpose of improving the charact
stock, and we should be very glad to see the eseop
ment tried of improving the characters of peasaoool4
agricultural labourers by feeding them. We el
very much like to have an annual show of prize pOrfslo
up in the numerous districts where the " friends %till
working man" are so very busy in cramming C-1
with all kinds of herbaceous luxuries. If a good clid
tity of fat stock is a sign of their owner being a B""t~f'
farmer, surely a good quantity of plump, Pa. oi
looking labourers would be a testimonial t° heti
goodness of their employer. We fear, however, tilic)
is no chance for any experiment bring made lwreo
would involve the necessity of generous dieting. The Oil
a much greater probability of a competition betwee/Ifilt
Norfolk and Buckland principles, by a show ofAY
peasants, ted respectively on peas, starch, and nii-1'

introduced to the notice of the poor in the sh 9

ComsTr-HATES.—There has been issued (pllol3hli
to an order of the House of Commons of the Bth 0114'1
last) a return (moved for on that day by Viscount
yy
sham) of the expenditure of the grants made bidssll
liament in each year from 1835, in aid of the c°"stoi
rates, distinguishing the proportion for expenses of re
secutions and for conveyance of convicts ; showing io
amount paid for each county, and the total atoll/
each year. The following are some of the more folio
resting results of that 'return, which occupies ten 010
pages of figures. For the latter half of 1835, out °f ef'
Parliamentary grants in aid of the county-rates, tu:',oo
penses of criminal prosecutions in the several cololoos
England and Wales amounted to 26,8921., and the
veyance of convicts cost 5,6241., making a total of 32'101'
In 1836, these sums were increased to 75,268/. ; is
to 81,923/.; in 1838, to 85,1561.; in 1839, to 89,5a1"01:,
1840, to 99,8681. In 1841, the amount was 9°,41 011,,
showing a decreasoof upwards of 1,730/. ; but in thewist
ing year it increased to more than 113,4171.; in 18'1451
113,6471.; while, in the year 1844, the total was 101, o'
The increase throughout these years was in the
penses of criminal prosecutions, that rose from °a
53,000/. in 1835 to 104,324/. in 1843, while the et‘lo,
the conveyance of convicts remained very pearl"
same during the entire series of years. The grando
