PROTECTION OF PROPERTY ON RAILWAYS.—Mr.
Berry, solicitor to the London and North-Western Rail-
way, appeared on Wednesday before the Liverpool
police magistrates, to prosecute Isaac Holland, a berther
of waggons, who was charged with having broached a
cask of ale, which had been placed in one of the wag-
gons in his berthing section. Tile magistrate sari that
the property of the public must be protected, and com-
mitted the prisoner to the sessions.

THE SHIEIFF OF EDINHCEGIL—We understand the
new Home Secretary, Mr. Walpole, hal signalised his
entrance on the duties of his office calling our sheriff,
Mr. Hal:ard, to account for one of his many extraor-
dinary judgments in the Police Court. It appears that
he imprisoned a highly respectable servant girl for 30
days because she picked up a shilling from the floor of
a shop on which it had been dropped, as she supposed,
by herself, but according to other evidence by a different
person. The highest testimony was borne to her cha-
racter by her employers and other respectable witnesses,
but the inexorable sheriff sentenced her to 30 days' im-
prisonment for this mistake, or crime, by whichever
name it may be called. We are extremely glad that our
new Home Secretary has called the sheriff to account
for his conducf..—E.linburgh, Express,
SHOCKING CASH OF CRUELTY.—A few days ago, says
the Sherburne Journal, a man residing on the Cnapelry,
who had formerly been a fifer in the 58th regiment, when
that corps was lying at Weymouth, was discovered by
the neighbours to be very busily engaged in his garden,
at the back of tie house ; on watching him they dis
covered that the wretch had dug a large hole into which
he had thrown his donkey, which had been previously
almost starved and beaten to death. It was, however,
still alive,'"and when some persons went to interfere and
upbraid him for his conduct, he had got the earth
thrown in and was stamping it down with his foot ; but
the poor animal would not rest, and being buried back
downwards and legs uppermost, he by his struggles
had forced the earth up again. The men who went to
interfere immediately compelled the man to kill the
animal at once before he interred it, and the fellow then
took a hammer and beat its head in, after which it was
once more placed under the earth. On Tuesday the
fellow, George Holcraft, was charged before the borough
magistrates with cruelty to a donkey. The accused
bad been surtmonld, but ho did not answer to his
name. Benjam'n Parey deposed that he saw Holcraft
on the 9Lh inst., covering up his donkey in a hole, just
behind his house. He was chopping his head with a
spade. Witness threatened to serve Holcraft in the
same way, which caused him to desist. Holcratt then
got a hammer and knocked the animal on the
head. George Bowring and Robert Carter were called
to corroborate this statement. The mayor said that
although Holoraft did not appear, the bench, to mark
their detestation of such cruelty, sentenced him to 3
months' imprisonment with hard labour.
[ADVERT ISE MENTI. —WilliS twe have constantly to lament the
failure of medicine to effect the cure oven of those diseases
which have been longe-t known, and have for centuries baf-
fled the labours of surgeons and physicians, it is a cheering
thing to learn, on trustworthy and undubitable authority,
that science has at length discovered, not a drug, not a
nauseating and disgusting compound, but a simple and de-
lightful article of natural diet, which insures speedy and
effectual relief in cases where all other appliances had failed.
Fifty thousand personal tes.imordes to the efficacy of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica Fool, give the most substantial
reason for encouraging the hope, and we feel justified in
saying that which wo should be reluctant to affirm except
in the face of a body of evidence which it would be ab-
surd to gainsay, that there really appears to us to be no
reason why any person, however afflicted, if there be a
moderate portion of ~the vital stamina remaining,
should now despair of the recovery of health and vigour.
Amongst the diseases which have been removed, at various
degrees of obstinate inveteracy, by the use of Messrs. Du
Barry's Food, we find dyspepsia (indigestion), constipation,
functional irregularity, obstructions, acidity, cramps, spasms,
fits, heartburn, diarrlicea, nervousness, biliousness, affec-
tions of the liver and kidneys, flatulency, distention, palpita-
tion of the heart, nervous headache, deafness, noises in the
head and ears, giddiness, pains between the shoulders, and in
almost every part of the body, chronic inflammation and
ulceration of the stomach, eruptions on the skin, scurvy,
fever, scrofula, impuriti-s, poverty of blood, consumption (if
not beyond; human aid), dropsy, rheumatism, gout, influenza,
grippe, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, after ea'ing,
or at sea, low spirits, spleen, general debility, paralysis,
cough, asthma, tightness across the chest, phlegm, iuqrt-e-
-tude, sleeplessness, involuntary blushing, tremors, dislike to
society, unfitness for study,delusions, loss of memory,vertigo,
blood to the head, exhaustion,molancholv, groundless fear, in -
decision, wretchedness, thoughts self-destructioi,&c. We must
admit that it was at first with same degree of scepticism we
heard the descriptions of the surprising cures accomplished
by the use of this preparation ; but, looking over the quality
of the testimony, the names and characters of the persons
who join in giving it, the consistent and candid tone of Us
parties to it, and above all, the facility afforded by Messrs.
Du Barry for communicating with any of the parties, doubt
and misgivings are irresistibly converted into perfect confi-
dence ; and we recognise the presence of an agent of illi-
mitable good to humanity—a power which, as it becomes
known, must work a mighty and salutary revolution
in the physicai conditions of civilised communities.

such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches,
with an extra eye-piece will show distinctly Jupiter's moons,
Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope
can be seen a person's countenance three-and-a-half miles
