A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.

MRS. JOHNSON'S AMERICAN
SOOTHING SYRUP, for CHILDREN CUT-
TING THEIR TEETH. This infallible remedy has
preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past re-
covery, from Convulsions arising from painful dentition. As
soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the Gums the Child will be
relieved, the Gums cooled, and the inflammation reduced.
It is as innocent as efficacious, tending to produce the
Teeth with ease ; and so pleasant, that no Child will re-
fuse to let its Gums be rubbed with it. When Infants
are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed
on the Gums ; and Parents should never be without the
Syrup in the nursery where there are young Children ;
for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the Gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease; thereby preventing
Convulsions, Fevers, &c. The great success of this Medi-
cine during the last Twenty-five Years has induced un-
principled persons to imitate it, under the name of Ameri-
can Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's
Bills, &c. Parents will, therefore, he very particular to ask
lor JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP,
and to notice that the Names of Barclay and Sons, 95,
Farringdon-street, London (to whom Mrs. Johnson has
sold the recipe), is on the Stamp affixed to each Bottle.

"My dear, where are you going ?" Miss Mac-
donald desired him to go about his business, at the,
same time expressing a wish to, know whose foot-
man he was. The defendant replied, " I will be
your footman, my dear, if you please," and was
about to be very familiar, when the young lady called
her father, who was on horseback a short distance
in advance, between whom and the defendant high
words arose, (luting which the latter called Mr.
Macdonald a scoundrel, and collared him. All the
parties went to the station-house, but as the pace
did not witness the assault, they could not take cog-
nizance of it ; both parties, however, gave their names
and residences, and Mr. Macdonald obtained a war.
rant against the defendant, who was fined 31., which
he paid.
A boy about 13 years of age, named James She-
rison, in the service of Dr. Lauder, of 32,'Sloane.
street, Chelsea, was placed at the bar before Mr.
GREGORIE under the following extraordinary cir-
cumstances :
From the evidence of several witnesses it ap-
peared that for some time past the windows in va-
rious parts of the house of Dr. Lauder had been
broken, and, notwithstanding every possible inquiry
had been instituted, and a strict watch kept upon
the premises, the panes of glass continued to be
broken, without the delinquent being detected, or
the slightest suspicion resting upon any particular
individual. This species of annoyance and destruc-
tion of property continued day after day, and con-
siderable consternation was exci ed throughout the
neighbourhood, but still the malicious depredator,
remained undiscovered. Upwards of a score panes
of glass bad been broken, and as it appeared pro-
bable that as many more would be smashed if the
individual was not found out, Dr. Lauder called in
the police. Mr. Bannister, an inspector of the B
division, a sergeant, and three or four men, repaired
to the premies. . It was at first the general opinion
that the pieces of coal with which the glass had
been broken were shot from a cross-bow, or some-
thing similar, and every place to which suspicion was
attached was searched, but without leading to any
satisfactory result. Even while the police were in
the house several windows were broken. At
length Mr. Bannister expressed his conviction that
the coals were thrown by some person residing
upon the premises, which was strengthened by
Mr. Crabb, one of the overseers of the parish (for the
parochial authorities, as well as the police, were in
attendance, so great was the alarm in the neigh-
bourhood), picking up a piece of hot coal, which
had been thrown at the window. That gentleman
then secreted himself in an outhouse, and observed
the prisoner with something in his hand; he imme-
diately pounced upon him, when the boy, upon being
questioned, became confused, and confessed it was a
piece of coal lie held in his hand. The young rascal
was then searched, and it was evident his pockets
had contained coals from the coal-dust found in
them. A policeman conveyed him to the station-
house, where the prisoner confessed he had broken

all the windows, amounting to about 30.
Mr. GREGORIE said that it was the most extraor-
dinary case that had ever come before him, and asked
the author of so much mischief what, were his mo-
tives for breaking his master's windows.
The prisoner replied that he had no particular
motive for acting in such a manner; his master had
always been kind to him, and he could not think
what induced him to break the windows.
Mr. GREGORIE then committed the prisoner to
the tread-mill for two months, in default of his pay-
ing the amount of the damage done.
HAT T ON- GARDEN.

On Saturday evening John Murray, an excise
officer, was brought before Mr. LAING, charged by
police constable 108, E division, with having col-
lected a mob of thirty persons in Broad-street,
Bloomsbury.
The prisoner was an excise officer, and having
duty to execute a short distance from town, he had
taken a seat in a stage-coach, for which he was
waiting when he was insulted, but he positively
denied having collected a mob.
A witness saw several individuals " chafing" the
prisoner and he resented it, but saw no offence com-
mitted.

Mr. LAING—What is chafing? Witness—They
were humbugging, your Worship.
At this period of the examination a tall powerful,
looking man, who stood behind the prisoner, nudged
him, as if to urge him to' say something more in his
defence, or to apologize, when the officers desired
him to be quiet. He replied," I am doing no harm,"
and he still touched the prisoner.
Mr. LAING—Who is that interfering ? Officer—
This here man behind, Sir.
Mr. LAING—If anybody interferes, bring him
forward.
The person alluded to stepped forward, and said,
" I have not interfered."

Mr. LAING—Pray, who are you ? Answer-
Who am I ? lam a respectable householder, I
know you, your name is Laing ; I have received
your justice before, and I should like to have you
turned out of your situation.
This extraordinary speech created great surpise,
and Mr. LAING ordered him out of the court, and
he was ultimately ejected by the officers, when his
grumbling at the usage was loud, and could be heard
in the court.

Mr. LAING—If it is that person who is making
the noise, bring him in, I will make him be quiet.
He ordered Murray to find bail, and he was locked

Shortly afterwards the person who interfered and
a Mr. Roberts' of 52, Great• Wild-street, Drury-
lane, presented themselves before' Mr. Laing as bail,
when the former was first questioned, and said his
name was White, landlord of the Red Lion, Wild.
street, Drury-lane.
Mr. LAING—Why, you are drunk. Mr. White—
I am not drunk.
Mr. LAING—You are. (To Lloyd, the officer)
—ls he not drunk ?
Lloyd (hesitating and smiling)—Why, I don't
know—l think he is.

Mr. LAING-Ii he not drunk ? Lloyd—Yes,
your Worship.
Mr. LAING (to Hall, the officer)—Look at
him—is he not drunk ? Hall--Why, Sir, I think
he has drunk a little, but not so drunk but he knows
whet he is doing.
Mr. LAING—He is drunk, and I shall not receive
his bail. ,

Mr. White—l am not drunk; allow me to speak.
have received your justice before.

Mr. LAING ordered him to be put out of the court,
on which about seven or eight officers surrounded
him to force him out by violence, when Mr. White
resisted their efforts with great manual strength and
courage, and finding himself nearly overpowered he
seized hold of the bar, which almost broke down,
and he was eventually turned out of the office; and
while the officers were performing their orders
Mr. White, with his face turned towards the
bench, exclaimed energetically—l should like to
thrash 40 such beings.
Mr. Roberts then offered himself as bail.
Mr. LAING —Where do you live ? Mr. Roberts
—Great Wild street.
Mr. LAING—Who is that man ? Mr. Roberts,—
A respectable publicam.
Mr. LAING—Do you call him sober ? Mr. Ro-
bertrout.i
don't call him drunk; he knows what he
is a

Mr. LAING—Then you may leave the office.
Mr. Roberts and a Mr. Tregony afterwards of-
("erect themselves, and they were accepted.
Mr. LANG again asked for the name and address
of Mr. White, and said that he had done himself
no good,

TAX ON CAPITAL, AND FIXED DUTY

ON CORN.

- So long as the Heuse of Commons did not truly repre-
sent the feelings of the people, and men of property and
rank alone had the control of Parliament, it was needless
to hope for a tax on property, as it would have la. en con-
sidered a direct impost on Parliament itself. So obnoxious,
indeed, in the House of Commons was the very term
" Property Tax," that it was never even alluded to but
in the most delicate manner. Now, however, that the
voice of the people is heard, and representatives who
shrink from their duty may find their services dispensed
with, I can fore,ee no difficulty, but should anticipate
every advantage, in the immediate establishment of a tax
on all the realized capital of the United Kingdom.
It is obvious, however, as a preliminary measure, that
the value of property must first be ascertained, which,
although an undertaking requiring great discretion and
delicacy, would be easily overcome by those who have
already done so much for their country, and who would,
by instituting a tax on realized capital, improve the system
of taxation in a no less degree than they have already im-
proved the representation of the people in Parliament.
In order to obtain a precise estimate of the property
of the country (for Ido not suppose the value of the
lands and houses, as rated at present would be considered
sufficiently accurate), it would be necessary to have a ge.
rier,l survey taken of all the lands, commissioners appointed
for different districts, and juries summoned, in order to se-
cure strict impartiality. The accomplishment of an im-
proved edition of " Doomsday Book,' as it may be called,
would enable the Government to impose such a per-
centage upon property as would supply the deficiency
arising from the abolition of such taxes as the Legislature
alight deem it desirable to repeal.
And, although I am free to admit, theoretically speaking,
that I should go the length of desiring a tax on property
as a substitute for all other taxes whatsoever, still it is my
intention here not to speak of what I could wish, but of
what I think practicable under existing circumstances. In
order to be able to apply my proposition with perspicuity,
it is necessary to hazard an amount of the realized pro•
perty in the United Kingdom ; say four thousand millions,
or five times the amount of the debt. Taking the rate of
interest at four per cent., the yearly income is one hun
dred and sixty millions; now, ten per cent. upon that
amount (being sixteen millions) would enable the Go-
vernment to dispense with the duties on malt, hops, tea,
sugar, coffee, batter, cheese, soap, and the house and win-
dow taxes, which amounted to little more than that sum
for the year ending January 5, 1832, as is shown by the
following extract from an official document :
