On Wednesday, M. Brae, the author of a series of
republican pamphlets, entitled " Almanach-Catechisme,''
"Manual du Peuple," was sentenced, at the Court of Assizes
of Paris, to eighteen months' imprisonment, and a tine of 300 t:
The printer of the said Amanach was also sentenced to three
months' imprisonment, and a fine of 800 francs. They were
charged with having excited hatred of the Government, out-
raged the Catholic religion, and committed various
other
otfences punishable by the "September laws." M. Mee is
stated to have been arrested sixty-seven times for political
delinquencies.
ADULTERATION; OF TOBACCO WITH CHICORY.—
Thomas and John Garton, of Lincoln, tobacco-manufacturer.,
were charged upon too informations, ordered by the Com-
missioners of Excise, with having adulterated their tobacco
with chicory and other saccharine matters, contrary to law ;
and also with having ,the before-named illegal articles in
tin it possession. Professor Graham, of the London Univer-
sity, and Mr. G. analytical chemists, attended on
behalf of the Crown •, Mfr. Andrews for the deft ndants. Pro-
fessor Graham and Mr. G. Phillips proved having examined
samples of the tobacco, which they found adulterated to the
extent of three per cent. with saccharine matter. They pro-
tested that tobacco in its natural state did not contain any
saccharine matter whatever, and that where two or thre
per cent. was obtained by fermentation from manu-
factured tobacco, it was quite clear that saccharine matter
had been used for that purpose. These witnesses were
examined at great length by Mr. Andrews, for the
purpose of showing that the chemical fermentation ex-
periments were not to be depended upon as sure tests
when only small portions of saccharine matter could be
obtained. These opinions, he contended, were sufficiently
borne out by the report_ of the Committee on the tobacco
trade, made to the House of Commons in 1842. He then
read portions of the evidence given by the above gentlemen
before that Committee, to show that their results of analysa-
tion were by no means uniform, and particularly in one case
of tobacco, which was perfectly pure, which they had stated
to be adulterated with loaf bread cut up with the tobacco,
and that it also contained a little sugar. The same report
also contained conflicting opinions from the most eminent
chemists as to the accuracy of the Excise tests. The Court
expressed themselves satisfied with the evidence, and fined
the defendants in the penalty of 501. The same defendants
were again indicted for mixing five or six per cent. of chi-
cory with 7501b5. of tobacco. The solicitor for the defendants
pleaded guilty, at the same time alleging that they (defen-
dants) were innocent, and that what was called chicory was
merely smalls, received from retailers, and mixed up with
the larger cut tobacco. In this case a fine of 1001. was in-
flicted; and in each case the tobacco was adjudged to be for-
feited to the Crown. These cases were brought before the
magistrates on a former occasion, but the proceedings were
quashed in consequence of an informality.
A PRIZE PEASANT Suow.—The custom of stuff-
ing cattle to an unnatural degree, is, we are told, de-
sirable, for the purpose of improving the character of
stock, and we should be very glad to see the experi-
ment tried of improving the characters of peasant and
agricultural labourers by feeding them. We should
very much like to have an annual show of prize poor got
up in the numerous districts where the " friends of the
working man" are so very busy in cramming cattle
with all kinds of herbaceous luxuries. If a good quan-
tity of fat stock is a sign of their owner being a good
farmer, surely a good quantity of plump, portly-
looking labourers would be a testimonial to the
however, there

COUNTY-RATES.--There has been issued (pursuant
to an order of the House of Commons of the Bth of July
last) a return (moved for on that day by Viscount Mar-
sham) of the expenditure of the grants made by Par-
liament in each year from 1835, in aid of the county-
rates, distinguishing the proportion for expenses of pro-
secutions and for conveyance of convicts ; showing the
amount paid for each county, and the total amount in
each year. The following are some of the more inte-
resting results of that :return, which occupies ten folio
pages of figures. For the latter half of 1835, out of the
Parliamentary grants in aid of the county-rates, the ex-
penses of criminal prosecutions in the several counties in
England and Wales amounted to 26,8921., and the con-
veyance of convicts cost 5,6241., making a total of 32,5164
In 1836, these sums were increased to 75,2681. ; in 1837,
to 81,9231.; in 1838, to 85,1564; in 1839, to 89,5164; in
1840, to 99,668/. In 1841, the amount was 98,1384,
showing a decrease of upwards 011,7304; but in the follow-
ing year it increased to more than 113,4171.; in 1843.??
113,6471.; while, in the year 1844, the total was 101,1 • 4
The increase throughout these years was in the ex-
penses of criminal prosecutions, that rose from about
53,0001. in 1835 to 104,324/. in 1843, while the cost of
the conveyance of
convicts remained very nearly the
same during the entire series of years. The grand total
for the several years abcve mentioned amounts to
890,596/. 6s. sd. From a subsequent return (2f the ex-
penditure in the various boroughs and liberties of the
grants made by Parliament in aid of the county-rates, it
appears that the expenses of criminal prosecutions anti
conveyance of convicts in the latter half of 1835, were
2,6671. In the year 1836 they were 7,6761. ; in 1837,
9.5064; in 1838, of ea9t/
; in 1839, 12,3211 ; in 1840,
/5,795/, Lin 1841, 17,241/.; in 1842, 21,1411.; in 1843,
20,0531; and in 1844, 17,525/., making a total for bo-
roughs atid liberties of 133,6341. 19s. 2d. during the
years enumerated. Thus, the grand total for counties
and boroughs and liberties is 1,024,2311. ss. 7d. The
highest amount was in 1842, when it reached 134,5561.;
and the lowest in 1835, when it was at the rate per
annum of about 74,100/. The return is signed " Edw.
Cardwell," and dated from Whitehall, Treasury-
chambers, 6th July, 1845.
