LITERATURE.

The gables of ifEsop and Others. Translated info
Human Faces. By Charles H. Benpett. w.

Kent and Co., Flea-street.
Mr. Bennett gave ample evijence in bis book
of " Shadows" last year, that he possessed unusual
talent in his department of art, and this present
publication fully sustains the hopes and expecta-
tions entertained by his critical admirers. The
way in which he has blended brute features with
human expression, has, in our opinion, rarely, if
ever, been equalled. The mir►h of his pictures is
imbued with a moral intelligence which must
satisfy the preacher and enchant the poet—con-
veying
.point and purpose, with high artistic
delineation and comic truth. Mr. Bennett, in his
short "Introduction," speaks sensibly and mo-
destly, which inspires us with greater con&dence in
his power of developing original and valuable
ability.

Pilgrimages in Paris. By Miss Pardon. William
Lay, King William-street, Strand.
We fancy wo have read the greater number of
these sketches in Fraser, but they aro well worthy
of being presented to the public in a collected form,
and will prove a very accept tblo light volume for
general readers. Miss Pardoe's easy and familiar
manner of telling stories is too well appreciated to
need our word of praise.

GENERAL APPLICATION OF TUE ACT.

In all case, (supposing the act to be adopted) in which
the returns of the registrar general shall show that the
number of deaths annually bears a proportion exceeding
25 to the 1,000 inhabitants, such proportion being calcu-
lated upon an average of seven years, a superinteLding
inspector is to be sent down to inquire into the general
sanitary condition of the inhabitants, into the sewerage,
drainage, supply of water, and other matters, precisely
as was the case with reference to the existing act, and
upon the receipt of his report the general board shall
issue a provisional order applying the act, and shall
take the necessary steps for confirming such order by a
separate act of Parliament. The provisions with refe-
rence to the adoption of the act occupy 40 clauses. We

LONDON, SATIIRDAV, JAN. 2, 1858.

We trust that the New Year which has jus

opened may prove a more auspicious one than
that which was on Thursday brought to a conclusion.
The Indian revolt, which at one time assumed so
menacing an aspect, has virtually been suppre sed.
Its neck has been completely broken by the cap-
ture of Delhi and the relief of Lucknow. Much,
however, remains to be accomplished in the
way of punishment, and visiting the treacherous
and bloodthirsty mutineers and rebels with well_
merited retribution. An avenging NEMESIS is

now pursuing the murderers, and worse than
murderers of helpless women and children. They

must expiate their unparalleled atrocities, how-
ever deeply it may excite the morbid sympathies
of the Phdo-Sepoys. They will, if permitted to
number the earth, roa.i about as scattered ban-
ditti, seeking every opportunity for mischief, and
rendering the lives and properties of Europeans in
the disturbed districts very insecure. A vigorous
policy and many striking examples will be indis-
pensable, in order to re-establish the British su-
premacy on a sure foundation, and to set aside the
evil consequences that must otherwise follow the

ill-judged clemency exhibited towards the hoary
miscreant who tortured English women and chil-
dren, and his hopeful (!) son and heir the youth
of eighteen years of age who was, forsooth, too
young to be punished for his participation
in the rebellion. The effects of this absurd

leniency may be very disastrous, as it will un-

questionably be ascribed rather to our fears than
to our moderation. The work, however, will be
comparatively easy, and with such men as CAM.P-
ZELL, HAVELOCK, OIITRAM, LAWRENCE, and a host
of others, there is nothing to excite apprehension
of the worst kind.

In China, too, our troops must actively em-
ploy themselves, in order to teach Commissioner
YEH awl his advisers the folly, as well as
treachery of the course they have adopted.
Hitherto we have been comparatively quiescent,
contenting ourselves with naval operations, and
latterly a strict blockade of Canton and the neigh-
bouring coast. An attack on the offending city
hafi, however, been organised ; and it is by no
means improbable that at this moment the British

standard is floating over the walls of Canton, and
that " the harblrians " are in possession of the
city to which, despite the obligations imposed by
solemn treaties, they were refused admission.
There are many domestic matters of paramount
importance that must be disposed of within the

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already
its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder,
and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
concerning the food, our IN miler will cease. A few days since,
a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag of bones." He teed all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bouo,lit some
of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes bad been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the ATeat demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

CHARGE OF RAPE.

Henry Rudledge was indicted for violating his own
daughter, Kate, a girl about 15 years of age, and Sarah
Rudledge, his wife, was indicted with aiding and assisting
in the commission of the offence.
Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton
defended the prisoners, who pleaded " not guilty."
Mr. Sleigh, having stated the case to the jury, called
Kate Rudledge, a rather respectable-looking young
woman, who said—l lived in St. George's, Lambeth. The
prisoner is my father, the female prisoner my step-mother.
I lived at Plumstead about 14 months ago. My father sent
for me from Ireland. I arrived on Oct. 14, 1857. It was
on the Friday after I came to my father's or the day
preceding that my father took liberties with me. It was in
the morning early—about five o'clock. I was in the samo
room with my father, who on that night slept with my
little brother, and his wife slept with me. I was awoke by
my father coming to bed, and his wife held me in bed. I
screamed, and was going to get up, when he called out,
" Whist!" struck me with his open hand, and told me to
be quiet. At that time his wife was awake, and held me
by the feet for about five minutes. At that time my father
was taking indecent liberties with me. In about a week after
the first offence was committed he again repeated it, and
then continued to do so every morning for about five
months. The witness hero gave evidence which was quite
unfit for publication. • '
Cross-examined by Mr. Ribton—My father sent for me
from Ireland. I don't recollect my father leaving Ireland.
I was brought up by my aunt. When I arrived in Eng-
land the female prisoner was living with my father. I

NOT INCLINED.—" Why don't you wheel that
barrow of coals, Ned ?" said a learned minister to one of
h;s sons. "It is not a very hard job; there is an inclined
plane to relieve you." " Ah," replied Ned, who had
more relish for wit than work, " the plane may be in,
dined, but hang me if I am."
Crinoline catastrophes are now as frequent as
railway accidents. The Menzorzal des Pyrenees mentions
the case of a lady who set fire to her dress. The hoops kept
the flounces at such an enormous distance from her person;
that her legs remained uninjured in the midst of flames;
but when the fire reached her waist, she felt herself horribly
burnt. Several women, alarmed by her cries, approached,
but they themselves were all enveloped in yards upon yards
of petticoats, and were unable to render any service. The
victim, in despair, rushed to the kitchen, where she found A
bucket of water, which she threw over herself so adroitly,
as toextinguish the flames. At first she fancied she was but
slightly injured, but on undressing her it was found that
she was dreadfully burnt all over her body. She now lies
in a state of dreadful suffering, and there is very little hope
of saving her life.
[ADVERTISEMENT.)—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.--
Hooping-cough.—This harassing disease, now very pre-
valent and largely swelling the bills of mortality, is sure to
extend its dominion, for its contagiousness contaminates
all children previously unaffected. Fortunately for hu-
manity this alarming disorder is now fully placed under
control by Holloway's Ointment ; which allays the ner-
vous irritability and checks the disease. Children of all
ages and constitutions arc daily saved by rubbing the
Ointment on the spine, and chest • its virtues penetrate
the skin, enter the blood, repress irritation, prevent inflam-
mation, and moderate the cough, whose paroxysms they,
ere long, subdue. If old enough the little patient should
take Holloway's Pills to avert future pulmonary danger.
Both, used simultaneously, soon quell the severest cough-
ing fits.

of the appellant's counsel (at the rising of the Court yester-
day afternoon), reserved judgment.

APPEAL-SHEPPARD V. OXENFORD

This is an appeal from a decretal order of Vice-Chancel-
lor Wood, fixing the liability of shareholders, and allowing
a proof of claims against the National Brazilian Mining
Association.

Mr. Rolt, Q.C., is being heard for the appellant. The
disputed claim is about £6,000.
The arguments will continue the entire day.
(Before the Lords Justices.)

APPEALS-WINCHESTER BANK-RAWLINS V. WICKIIAM

-WICKHAM V. RAWLINS.

These are appeals from a decretal order of Vice-Chan-
cellor Sir John Stuart, setting aside the contract of copart-
nery, on the ground of misrepresentation to the plaintiff.
At the conclusion of the arguments their lordships
delivered judgment. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord
Justice Turner were decidedly of opinion that the contract
of copartnery entered into by the plaintiff was
null and void ab initio and in toto, and that no part of it
could be enforced against the plaintiff, on the ground of mis-
representation, fraud, and deceit on the part of the de-
fendants.

Their lordships affirmed the decree of the Vice-Chancellor
Sir John Stuart, with the addition that the money reco-
vered in the action at law against Mr. Wickham's estate
would go towards payment of the costs of action.
Appeal sustained with costs of suit.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 12th says :—" Not-
withstanding what has been said, the Military
Cabinet of the King, which was charged with what
is called personal affairs, is to be suppressed. In
fact, the present Minister of War made the sup-
pression of it a condition on his entering the Mi-
nistry. It is said that the present chief of that
Cabinet, General de Manteuffel, is to be nominated
Military Plenipotentiary at the Court of Russia—
Baron de Laen, who now exercises those functions,
having begged to be relieved. Although the
' cross' party neglects no means of preventing
the introduction of civil marriages, a decision has
been unanimously come to in the Council of Minis-
ters that a bill for establishing such marriages
shall be presented to the Chambers, and the Prince
Regent has given his consent. This bill will pre-
vent clergymen from refusing to marry divorced
persons, and thereby oblige such persons to wed
abroad. It has been rumoured that M. de Schlei-
nitz is to leave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
and be succeeded by M. de Pourtales. The rumour
is unfounded, but it is probable that M. de Pour-
tales will be nominated ambassador at Vienna."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Bucharest, of the 4th, says :

"The judicial examination into the attempt on
the life of M. Mane has been commenced, but
nothing relative to the proceedings has yet trans-
pired. Rumours are, however, current that accord-
ing to the evidence of the servants, and the
inspection of the house, no trace of any projectile
has been found, nor any apparent damage having
been caused. Some marks are, it is true, visible on
the ceiling, but some persons affirm that those had
been there before the attempt. However obscure
the affair may be, the Caimakans persist in
representing it as most heinous, and do not
hesitate to attribute it to political causes. It is on
the ground of this crime, as well as by bringing
forward such faCts as the posting up of
placards at the doors of the ministers, that they
have called for the adoption of the most violent
measures. They seem to wish to establish an idea
abroad that the country is in a disturbed state.
Long instructions relative to the elections have
been published. That they should put restrictions
on the electoral rights does not at all surprise the
Wallachian people; but what astonishes and afflicts
them is that those instructions should have been
approved of by the foreign consuls to whom they
had been previously submitted. Up to the present
time, scarcely 100 electors have inscribed their
names in this city, and the same backwardness has
been observable in the rural districts. If this
apathy should continue, the retrograde party will
gain the advantage."

RUSSIA.

A St. Petersburgh letter of the 6th says :
" By order of the Emperor, prayers of thanks-
giving have been offered up in all the churches of
the capital for the great diminution of the cholera.
Rumours are in circulation that the central com-
mittee on the emancipation question intend to
propose the abandonment of the original pro-
gramme of the Government, and that the nobility
may be allowed to regulate the affair themselves.
Should that be done, it is certain that the great
reform would be postponed sine die, and the inter]:
tions of the Emperor paralysed. It is, however,

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, er Sexual Hypochrondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. I'ICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known toE7g7lis-li
his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that lie has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flag-rant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating- this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhoea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have delayed so long* upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

STABBING IN THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

George Simpson, 22, polisher, a prisoner in the House of
Correction, was indicted for feloniously stabbing Henry
Godwin, with intent to murder him, and with a like offence
upon Benjamin Norris. There was also an indictment
against the prisoner for cutting and wounding, with intent
to do grievous bodily harm.
It will be recollected from the facts relative to this case,
which have already appeared at length in The Sun, that
the prisoner was undergoing a short term of imprisonment
in the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, and in con-
sequence of his becoming dissatisfied with the meat with
which he was supplied, a quarrel arose, and he, armed
with a knife, commenced a violent attack on the two
warders, who were both very seriously injured, so much so
that the life of one of them was despaired of.

The jury found the prisoner guilty of cutting and wound-
ing, with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
The learned Judge sentenced him to 20 years' penal ser-
vitude.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

The Tribune of 29th Nov. says :—From circum-
stances which have come to light it is confidently
believed that Mr. Dickens came.to his death by
accident rather than design ; and had the coroner's
investigation been prosecuted as it should have
been, the jury would in all probability have re•
turned a verdict to that effect. It appears that
there was no post mortem examination at the in-
quest, nor all available evidence elicited on the sub-
ject under consideration. The jury therefore came
to the conclusion that Mr. Dickens committed sui-
cide from the fact that two bottles which had con-
tained laudanum and potassium were found in his
room. _

When Mr. Dickens went to the American Hotel
at Jersey City he took with him two or three clean
shirts, and three or four clean pocket handkerchiefs,
evidently with the intention of remaining there
several days. He sat down in the sitting room,
and sent a boy to purchase an evening newspaper,
which he read; and, after remaining some time
reclining on the sofa in the sitting room, he went
to bed. He had placed a clean shirt upon a chair,
as if for use the following morning ; undressed him-
self, folded up his clothes carefully, and put his
shoes outside the door to be cleaned. When dis-
covered in the morning he was lying upon the floor
with a basin by his side as if he intended to use it.
From the fact of entering an assumed name upon
the register at the hotel, it is presumed that he did
not wish it to be made known that he had been
stopping at a house of that class. In the mean-
time his address was ostensibly at the Astor House,
from which his absence had not been noticed by
Mr. Stetson. It must also be borne in mind that
the deceased came over in his own name, and that
at no place, except the Jersey City Hotel, had he
passed by an assumed name.
London, England, 1858-12-16

THE ANDOVER MURDER.

ANDOVER, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
This morning Thomas Alex. Banks and Emma,
his wife, were again brought before the borough
magistrates, on remand from the previous evening.
Mr. Poulden intimated that the evidence on the
part of the prosecution was exhausted, and he
should not offer any more on the present occasion.
Mr. Lamb, the deputy clerk to the magistrates,
then read over to the female, prisoner the evidence
taken in this case previous to her apprehension,
after which he asked the male prisoner in the usual
form if he had anything to say in his defence.
The prisoner replied, " I am innocent of the
charge, but I am willing to leave the case entirely
in the hands of my legal advisers."
The female prisoner, on being asked if she had
anything to say, replied, " I am innocent of the
charge."
Mr. Poulden then addressed the bench in an
able speech, dwelling particularly on the principal
points of the evidence tending to criminate the pri-
soners, and remarked, that although the evidence
was purely circumstantial, and was unanswered by
his learned friend, wh' did not propose to call any
witnesses, he believed the case to be unanswerable.
It was laid down by our great authorities, that
" circumstantial was the best of evidence, as men
could lie, but circumstances could not ;" and where
many links of evidence were collected and formed a
complete chain, it constituted a sound principle on
which it was at all times safe to rely. The learned
gentleman then dwelt particularly on the fact of
the time at which the murder was committed being
the exact time which was totally unaccounted for
by the prisoners at the bar, even according to
their own statements; and in order to show a
motive for the commission of the dreadful crime, he
went very minutely through the evidence of the
shop boy Webb, showing that an ill-feeling in all pro-
bability must have existed between the prisoners
and deceased, thereby inferring that the female pri-
soner was implicated in the commission of the
crime, and stated that no doubt could be enter-
tained that the object of deceased visiting such a
spot at such an hour of night was for an immoral
purpose. He was, therefore, content to rely on the
good judgment of the bench to decide whether his
case was fully made out or not.
Mr. Poland, in a speech that occupied nearly
three hours, addressed the bench for the prisoners ;
and contended that the prosecution had failed to
make out a prima facie case against the prisoners.
He most minutely dissected the evidence, pointed
out the diserepancies, and selected every point in
favour of his clients. _

The magistrates then adjourned to deliberate,
and after an absence of half an hour returned to the
court and committed both prisoners to take their
trial at the Winchester Assizes.
Mr. Poland made an application on the part of
the female prisoner to allow substantial bail, con-
sidering her situation, she being enceinte, when, on
the suggestion of Mr. Poulden, the matter was re-
ferred to the judges at chambers.
Both prisoners were in the evening conveyed to
Winchester.
