MR. LIDDELL, M.P., AND THE

CHARTISTS.

-
The following correspondence has passed between the
Hon. H. T. Liddell, the representative of the northern
division of this county, and Mr. J. Hemsley, acted for the
Sunderland Chartists :
( Copy.) " Sunderland, Dec. 28, 1840.
" Sir,—The Committee appointed for the restoration of
Frost, Williams, and Jones, have instructed me to ascer-
tain whether you would support an Address to the Queen,
and also present and support petitions to Parliament, ema-
nating from public meetings on New Years' Day, for that
purpose.
" Hoping you will generously assist in this way to ac-
complish so benevolent a work, I await your answer,
"Yours truly, "J. HENISLE Y.
Grocery Store, Bridge-street."

( Copy.) " Eslington House, Dec. 29, 1840.
" Sir,—ln your letter which reached me this morning,
you ask me, on the part of the Committee, whether I will
present and support petitions to Parliament for the pardon
of Messrs. Frost, Williams, and Jones, emanating from
public meetings which are to be held for the purposo of
preparing such petitions.
" I should certainly feel it my duty to present any peti-
tions to the House of Commons which may be entrusted to
my charge by any class of my fellow-countrymen, provided
they be respectfully worded.
6' But as to supporting the prayer of a petition for the
pardon of great criminals, I tell you distinctly I can do no
such thing.
" These men have not only been found guilty of an overt
act of high treason (the greatest crime known to our statute-
book ), but, in my opinion, they arc likewise to be held re-
sponsible for the deaths of those unfortunate and misguided
men whose blood was shed in the attack upoa Newport,
and they are thus doubly guilty of treason and murder.
ouch being my deliberate opinion, I can have no sympathy
with such offenders, nor can I support any petition for their
pardon and liberation. I am, yours truly,
" Mr. J. Hemsley." '` H. I'. LIDDELL."

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINGPLE, DEC, 9.—The Government steamer
Tair-y-Bahoy arrived yesterday from Beyrout, bringing
intelligence from that place up to the 30th November.
The Turkish troops were expected shortly to make a move.
mcr,t ; they were to leave a strong garrison at Beyrout.
The remainder of the troops were to be embarkod on
board steamers, which would transport them to Jaffa.
From Jaffa a garrison will be sent to Jerusalem, whic'a is
only a day and a half's march from Jaffa. Aleppo, Ham-
ma, Horns, and Baalbec have fallen into the hands of the
Turks.

Emir Bey, Rear-Admiral of the Turkish fleet, and the
adviser and intimate friend of Ahmed Feozi Pacha, the
traitor who gave up that fleet to Mehemet Ali, has lately
escaped on board of one of the English men-cf-war at
Alexandria. lie was hotly pursued, and nearly taken
in the chase ; while two of his men wore shot dead close
to him.

The late dreadful gale seems to have extended its in-
fluence even as far as the coast of Syria, for at Beyrout,
ten merchant ships were lost; one of the Austrian men-
of-war unshipped its foremast from the violence of the
storm; and it was with great difficulty that the Turkish
steamer was enabled to put to sea without any very serious
lots. Here the Austrian Danube ComparWs boat Seri
Pervaz, which had been freighted by the Turkish Go•
vernnv.ut to carry troop:; to Sy. ia, was lost in the Sea of
Monitors. on the shores of Moodania. Out of 560 men,
nearly 50 have been drowned or frozen to death. In the
Black Sea, also, the effects of the gale have been most
destructive. A Russian steamer has been wrecked. Of
those who were on board eighteen have perished, and nine-
teen been saved ; among the former there was a
Jewess, who, with 11-1 two children, refused to come on
deck, and were the first that were drowned, in consequence
of the Jter part of the ship having separated from the rest
soon after the engines had given way. At tho mouth of
the Bosphorus seven vessels have been wrecked. The
whole amount of the damage that has been done is not vet

fully ascertained.
Admiral Walker is now Commander-in-Chief of the
Ottoman ft ct, and ranks next to the Capitan Pacha (Lord
High Admiral).

PROFESSOR ItOTTECK.

S
}

The following sketch of the life of the late Poresiol"
Rotteck will, perhaps, be not uninteresting to the Eng'
lish reader. Charles Rotteck was born on the 18th of
July, 1775, at Friburg, in BAden, where his father wag
Director of the Faculty of ALdicine. After studying'
at the University of his native town, he took his LL.D;
in 1797, and was elected to the Professorship of llts'
tory in 1798. Subsequently he travelled to P41115'
Vienna, and Italy, and thereby added to his research
in L'htorical lore that enlightened acquaintance Witt3l
men and manners which was eminently useful to him in:
his after career.

In 1816 he was made " Hofrath" (Court Counsellor/
by the Grand Duke of Baden. In 1818 he changer 4
his chair of history for that of political economy. 114
work " Conservation of the University of Friburg'
gairiod him many admirers in the University, and it liva°-
mainly owing to this that, on Baden's obtaining a Or'
stitution in 1819, he was elected member for the
University of Friburg. His principal opponent ill!
the Chamber was Baron Turkeim ; but, ou the odor
hand, ha was staunchly supported in his liberal vie°
by the president, William, Margrave of Baden, Wes...
senberg, and others. In 1831 he was chosen a Viet*
President of the Chamber, and on the 28th of Dr
ceraber in that year delivered his celebrated speech°
favour of " freedom of the press," and was warmly
conded by Welker. But his exertions were crown&
but with temporary success. On the 28th of JulYgi
1832, the Diet promulgated its edicts, the effect °'
which was to trammel the press with chains more get
ling than ever. Rotteck fell into disgrace, and 0°
periodical, the Freisinnige, which he edited in Or;
junction with Welker, was suppressed, and for five
years he was forbidden to take part in a simil°'
publication. We must not forget to mention the We'
nuous opposition he made to Baden entering into 06
Prussian Customs Union. He it was, who to the last'
though futilely, set his face against a measure which be saw
was contemplated by Prussia merely for her own aggOr
dizement and improvement of her manufactures 01
the Rhine. But, though unsuccessful and disgraced at
home, his noble efforts were not unregarded by the
people of Germany ; addresses of condolence, plate. 01)
burgher crowns streamed towards him from all direr'
Lions, which honour his own Government in some tiler'
sure attempted to counterbalance by refusing their
sanctian to his taking the office of burgomaster in Fri'
burg on his election to the same by his fellow-citizens:
In spite of which they have elected him again, and 1",
was only on his own declining it that they were colter':
to create another person. Removed from his chair 1:
the University by the Government, it was only latrv„
that he was again recalled to it, and he had not bee;
his lectuies when death terminated his existence. 13,41'

BURNLE Y.

[FROM A CORRESPUNDSNT.]
On the last day of the old year, the members of the
Commercial News Room, at the Cross Keys-inn, Burn-
ley, held their second annual meeting, and after the business
of the room had been concluded, the members sat down
to an excellent dinner provided by the deservedly esteemed
host of the house, Mr. George Rawcliffe. John Folds,
E,q. of Danes House, presided, and Mr. John M'Veogii,
of Habingham Eaves, occupied the Vice-Chair. After
a number of loyal and patriotic toasts were given from the
Chair, the worthy President proposed the health of John
Sutcliffe Whithaw, Esq., of Oak Mount, who had gra.
tuitously given his services as their Secretary. The toast
was responded to with great enthusiasm. Other toasts
and sentiments were given, and the party did not separate
until some time after the merry church bells announced
that another year had been added to the thousands which
had gone before.

IRELAND.

DUDLIN, SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
About four o'clock this morning a fire broke out on the
printing premises of Mr. Folds. A considerable portion
of property, consisting of printing materials, paper, books,
Bee., were saved. The fire, it is supposed, commenced on
the first floor, and from the inflammable nature of every
thing lying about, soon raged with such destructive fury
that the types were speedily melted, and came pouring
through the building, to the imminent danger of those who
were trying to save the property. The amount of pro-
perty destroyed is estimated at upwards of 5,0001.
The Dublin Evening Post this evening devotes a large
portion of its apace to the registry proceedings now taking
place in the various parts of the country. The contests
continue to be fought with all the energy of a disputed
election ; and the Tory landlords arc everywhere banding
themselves in a league against the franchise. Lord
Listowel has sent the subjoined letter to the Cork Regis-
tration Society. The Post says that it is an example to
the Whig gentry, of the practical man in which they
ought to cc-operate with the people ir nit the common
enemy :--.

" Sir—l beg leave to enclose a check for 201. as my
subscription to the Reform Registry Association of this
county. The slightest apprehension that this county
might be the scene of such a disaster as has lately oc-
curred iu Carlow, ought to rouse every Liberal man
within its limits, and I trust that the resolutions which you
have circulated will be zealously responded to.

The proiect of establishing railroads in Ireland, on the
principles set forth in the ably Report of the Commissioners
appointed by Government, is once more to be urged upon
the consideration of the executive and the Legislature,
during the approaching Session. A requisition for a meet-
ing of the citizens of Dublin upon the subject, addressed to
the Lord Mayor, has already received the signatures of a
considerable number of the landed proprietors of all parties,
including the Duke of Leinster, the Earl of Charlemont,
and the Earl of Glengall. This meeting will take place
about the 20th instant ; and arrangements arc in progress
for convening several town and county meetings, for the
promotion of this great nitional object. In connection
with the establishment of a grand trunk railway, in accord-
ance with the Report of the Commissioners, it is in con-
templation to urge the adoption of the best and most rapid
line of railway communication, on the English side, in
order to shorten as much as possible the journey between
London and Dublin.

POOLOO'S CHINESE CEMENT.—The
extraordinary properties of this Composition make it one
of the most useful articles ever presented to the public. It is
perfectly impervious to hot or cold water, and will resist the
effects of- the most intense heat. Sc tenacious and firm is i 2
in its hold, that a new fracture is almost certain to tate place
rather than a severance in the original. Thus its utility sur-
passes all other cements for the fixing and mending of china,
glass, and ivory, the setting of stones and beads in rings and
trinkets, &c.

Sold wholesale and retail, in bottles, at ls. 6d., 25. 6d.,
4s. 6d., and 7s. 6d., by the Proprietor's sole Agents, Blofeld,

AY, JANUARY 5, lB4l.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE HEBREW PER-
SUASION IN JAMAICA.
Brethren,—lt is clearly manifest that the march of
liberality is making wondrous strides among the civilized
nations of the earth, and in Great Britain particularly,
where prejudice appears to be fast declining towards
the people of our nation; and at the present crisis,
when the feeling and sympathies of Europe have been
excited towards the Jews, in consequence of the cruel-
ties and atrocities perpetrated upon some of our brethren
in Syria and Rhodes, it would be judicious to avail
ourselves of that feeling, and simultaneous applications
from those of our nation residing in this island, as well
as in the mother country, should be made to the Impe-
rial Parliament, for the removal of all the disabilities
to which the Jews are subjected in Great Britain, and
tier Majesty's colonies in general.
The Local Legislature of this island have, to their
immortal honour, conceded every immunity to our peo-
ple, and for which our eternal gratitude is due, and af-
fording a bright example of liberality worthy of imitation.
Thc sympathy evinced by the inhabitants of all creeds
or our persecuted brethren in the East, affords us rea-
sonable hopes that they will join us in an application to
her Majesty's Government for the total repeal of the
several cruel disabilities to which our nation is subjected
.n Great Britain and the other colonies.
Tile enlightened, noble, and liberal sentiments which
pervade the Councils of her Majesty's present advisers,
notd out to us a fair prospect of relief, if now applied
tor. Let us come forward at once, and thereby stimu-
sate our foreign brethren to join us heart and hand in
advocating th rights of the Hebrew nation, and obtain-
ing for them the same privileges and immunities which
every other class of her Britannic Majesty's subjects,
including her lately emancipated slaves, now enjoy. The
eyes of the world are at this moment centred in the
East, and it is to be hoped that the day is not distant
when Jerusalem, the ancient heritage of our race, and
the tomb of the great Christian Prophet, shall be res-
sued from the Infidel, when Jew and Christian may
pay their adorations to the Deity, according to their
respective forms of worship, in harmony and good fel-
io.vship, unapprehensive of the attaghan or bowstring of
the Moslem. I trust that this appeal to my brethren
will he responded to with alacrity, and that the object I
have in view may be accomplished ; that those who suc-
ceed us may look back upon our emotions with grati.
rude, when they are admitted to a participation in the
full and entire rights to which her Majesty's other sub-
jects are entitled.
I am, with respect, your devoted servant,
M. H. SAMUELS.

LAW AND POLICE.

A Commission of Lunacy was held yesterday at
Hornsey Wood Tavern, to inquire into the state of mind
of Mr. Charles Carter, in possession of property in the
Isle of St. Vincent, and now confined in Northumber-
land House Asylum, Stoke Newington. The Jury found
that he was of unsound mind sinc-4 April, 1829.
Robert Woods, Isaac Jaques, and Thomas Molyneux,
have been found guilty of the wilful mnrder of Mr.
Grayson, of St. Helens, and committed f)r trial at the
next assizes.

Yesterday John Graham, a respectable carpenter, was
charged at Greenwich Police•oflice with wilfully breaking
a street gas-lamp, in order to pass his Christmas in
prison. Ile had come from Canterbury, and had had
nothing to eat for twenty-six hours. The Magistrate
remarked on the wickedness of destroying property
which had nothing to do with his sufferings, and com-
mitted him to seven days' imprisonment and hard labour.
A gentleman of fortune, named Wyllie, who has,been
already brought up three times for assaulting strangers
in the streets, appeared yesterday again at Marlbo-
rough•street, charged with assailing with a stick Mr.
Bull, landlord of a public-house, in Tuthill fields. The
prisoner began by mimicking some habitual motions of
Mr. Bull, and when spoken te, struck him severely. The
Magistrate urged that as the repetitions of the offence
were becoming serious, appeal should be made to the
sessions, and the defendant was ordered to find two
sureties for his appearance.
The three men, Steptoe, Sharman, and Griffin, charged
with robbing Ward's Chipping Norton waggon. were
finally examined at Guildhall yetterday, and fully com-
mitted.

I:LEC rIONEERING.

At the Meeeting of the Members of the " Borough of
Marylebone Reform and Registration Society" on Thurs-
day, it was unanimously resolved that the Association
should indemnify the ComMittee against the liability of
its debt of 20a., and the- Society was ordered to be car-
ried on. Notwithstanding the taunts of the Tory prints
upon the distressed state of the Society, it transpired dur-
ing the evening that the position of its Conservative
rival in Wigmore-street, was just doubly deplorable.
NAVAL AND MILITARY.
The Owen Glendower frigate is about to be fitted out
at the Chatham dockyard as a convict ship, for Gibraltar,
where 300 convicts are to be employed in repairing the
fortifications.

A new theatre has just been opened at Dresden ; and
another splendid one at Breslau, in Silesia.

pARR'S LIFE PILLS.
TO THE PUBLIC.

No sooner is a Medicine well established in public favour
than a host of imitators arise, who, for the sake of gain, not
only wrong the Proprietors of the genuine Medicine, but inflict
a serious injury on the unwary purchaser of their base counter-
feit trash. These observations apply with increased effect to
the Medicine which is now so well known as " PARR'S
LIFE PILLS." This famous remedy has been established
by undoubted proofs of its efficacy, and by a mass of evidence
and testimonials which no other medicine ever yet called forth.
These facts have had the effect of producing a very large sale
ameto the knowledge —more thanlydge of someooeboxespe rweek.Nhen this large sale
unprincipled
persons, they, for
the sake of gain to themselves, and reckless of the injury it may
do to others, attempted to foist on the incautious various
imitations, supported by statements which exhibit the most un-
blushing effrontery. In order that purchasers may be able to de-
tect these frauds, care must be taken to look at the Government
Stamp pasted round each box, and be sure it has the words
" Parr's Life Pills," in white letters on a red ground, engraved
therein, and forms part of the stamp ; also that the name of
6. Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London," is printed, as Whole-
sale Agent, on the directions wrapped round each box.,
Ask for 6' Parr's Lire Pills," and inquire for the little book
containing the Life of Old Parr, thirty-two pages, with engrav-
ings, also the numerous testimonials, which may be had gratis
on application of all agents and respectable venders throughout
the United Icngdom.
As a proof of their efficacy the Proprietors refer to the'follow-
ing Extraordinary Cure of Confirmed Asthma selected from
hundreds of a similar nature :
Mrs. Joseph Simpson has been severely afflicted, for the iast
thirty years, with a violent cough and difficulty of breathing.
The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her
usual domestic obligations. She took cold when only fifjeen
years old, anti the cough never left her tdl she took Pareit'Life
Palls. She had tried almost every kind of medicine, and had
taken laudanum in large quantities, but nothing afforded relief.
She heard of Parr's Pills about last Christmas, and as soon
as she had taken about half a box she found Lerself completely
cured, and was never afflicted in the slightest mariner during
the severe weather that followed, and is now better in health
than she has ever been in her life.
. This cure does indeed appear miraculous ; but for the satis-
faction of the most incredulous, she has kindly consented to an-
swer any inquiries, either by personal application, or ley letter,
addressed to Mrs. Joseph Simpson, Church-hill Close, Old
Lee ton, near Nottingham.
The medicine is sold wholesale, by appointment of the pr:.-
preters by Edwards,67, St, Pati.l's, London, in boxes at Is. le.,

'On the Ist of February, 1841, the fare on the• Ca-
nterbury and 'Whitstable Railway was reduced from lid.
to 6d., alike to the benefit of the public and the proprie-
tors, as will be seen from the following returns :—From
the 10th of February to the 30th of November, 1840,
when the fare was 9d., the number of passengers was
9,388, and the receipts 3521. Is. 3d., and in the corres-
ponding period for 1841, when the fare was 6d., the pas-
sengers amounted to 23,619, and the receipts to 5921.
19s. 6d., being an increase of 150 per cent. on the former
'and on the latter 68 per cent.
Between the Bth and 14th of December 134,8500 z. of
silver, and 2150 z. of gold were shipped at Dover for the
Continent.

We learn that trade in Liverpool ha.', within the last
few weeks, exhibited visible signs of improvement, espe-
cially in the West India branch.

The population of Tewkesbury is about 6,000, of which
we understand one-half stand in need of relief, being in

(14 in number) were saved, and the vessel is reported to
be insured.
