BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES
WarehouAe, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-stew, London.
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautious:—Some are in appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but
without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce; will keep good in all

JUNCTION RAILWAY.

Capital 600,0001., in 20,000 shares of 301. each
Deposit 3/. 10s. per share.

This undertaking is intended to forth a connecting line of railway
communication between the five great lines of railway at present
radiating from the metropolis through the counties of Middlesex and
Surrey, viz.—the Birmingham, the Great Western, the South Western
the Brighten, and the Dover lines, commencing at or near the Har-
row station on the Birmingham line, crossing the Great Western at
or near Southall, the South Western at or near Kingston, and termi-
nating at or near the Merstham station, on the Brighton and Dover
lines, thereby completing a direct and rapid insane of communication
between the West, North-West, and Midland counties, and the
Southern and South-Eastern parts of the kingdom.
Mr. Tare has reported that on a very moderate estimate a revenue
of at least 52,0001. a year is to be relied upon on the ffrst opening of
the line, and that a vast increase may confidently be expected at an
early period from sources not yet developed.
The estimated cost of the line is considerably within the proposed
capital, and the atmospheric principle has been recommended to the
Shareholders.

LAW INTELLIGENCE

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WiGnminli and a Special Jury.)
CHRISTMAS V. TUBBS.

This was an action brought by Mr. Christmas, a hatter
and fur manufacturer, residing in Burlington-arcade, against
Mr. Tubbs, a Magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant for the
county of Middlesex, to recover the sum of 6/. 1 Is. 6d. for
goods supplied to that gentleman's wife. The goods supplied
were admitted to be of a proper and necessary character for
a lady, and the prices charged for them were not contested.
The point in dispute was the liability of the husband to pay,
he and his wife having been sepayated, br mutual
consent, for many years. The parties, it appeared,
were married in 1822, at which time a sum of
5001. per annum was settled on the lady by her father.
In 1829, by mutual consent, they agreed to live separately,
Mrs. Tubbs, of course, being in the exclusive enjoyment of
her 500/. a year, which, at a subsequent period, was in-
creased to 6001. a year, by a bequest accruing under the will
of a deceased relative. Mr. and Mrs. Tubbs had one child,
a son, who lived sometimes with one, and some-
times .with the other, but in the earlier portion of his life
more frequently with the mother. All three, Mr. Tubbs,
Mrs. Tubbs, and Master Tubbs, dealt with Mr. Christmas,
and their several bills were regularly paid. In the be-
ginning of the year 1840, Mr. Christmas sent in
his previous year's bill to Mrs. Tubbs, and when
he called for payment, found to his astonishment, not only
that Mrs. Tubbs was dead, but also that for years she had
been living separately from her husband. This was the very
first intimation the plaintiff had of this fact. He then applied
to Mr. Tubbs for the payment of his wife's bill, being only
6/. 1 ls. 6d. for the entire year 1839, and was referred by that
He
to another party who would probably pay him.
He waited on the other party, who, however, declined to do
so, referring him back to Mr. Tubl)s, who not only, as he
said,-was legally liable, but was also morally so, being in the
receipt and actual possession of 5781., the dividends accruing
to his wife from the period of her decease, in addition to a
very handsome income ()this own. Mr. Christmas then applied
by letter to Mr. Tubbs (the letter being produced in Court) to
pay his debts at once, expressing his surprise that, under all
the circumstances above detailed, he should for one'Moment

NATIONAL - LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,

26, CORNHILL, LONDON.
Capital X 500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
ths. Society's great success and growing proSperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; -and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums.

have hesitated to do so. This letter the plaintiff sent to the
defendant by his own son ; who was now produced in Court,
and who distinctly swore that, in answer to it, Mr. Tubbs
sent this verbal message by him to his father—" Tell your
father I will call and pay him." This was the strong poiht
in the case, it being contended by Mr. Erle, for the plaintiff,
that even were the defendant discharged from his liability,
by reason of a separation and of ample means on
the part of his wife to maintain herself in ade-
quate respectability, yet, that the promise to pay,' now
sworn to, was, according to decisions given by Lords Ellen-
borough and Tenterden, amply sufficient to warrant the jury
in finding for his client. Mr. Whately, on the other hand,
questioned this promise very much, and strongly contended
that after- so many rears -of separation, and such ample
means at the command of the wife, it would be impossible for
the jury to givis It verdict for'the plaintiff, which would have
the effect of encouraging trial on . trial of, this description.
The JUDGE having summed up, the jury turned round to
consider their verdict, but not' being able to agree, retired
from the Court to consult. After an absence of nearly an
hour and a half, they returned into Court, and gave their
verdict for the plaintiff for the full anioont claimed.

luded to was not made loud enough for the Court to
hear, for, if it had, it would most certainly have been
taken notice of as a very improper proceeding. He did
not believe that Mr. Wilkins was actuated by any desire
to offend the jury, and he was satisfied, from his know-
ledge of him, that if he were then present, he would be
the first man to disclaim such an object. Counsel in the
excitement of the moment, and actuated by a feeling for
their clients, might make a harsh observation, which
they would probably afterwards regret ; and it would be
well that jurors should not pay attention to what was
said, under such circumstances, to third'parties. As to
the opinion expressed by Mr. Francis that such pro-
ceedings might affect the independence of juries, he did
not see how it could possibly have that effect.
Mr. Francis said, that having made thel fact known
to the Court, he had now only to make au apology to
the Learned Judges for intruding upon their attention.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said he had no occasion to
apologise. He was perfectly justified in doing so, as
there could be no doubt that the observation in question
must have been very offensive to the jury.
The conversation then dropped, and Mr. Francis re-
tired. '

Henry Newman was indicted for forging an acceptance
to a bill of exchange for 20/., with intent to defraud.
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Charlotte Scott was indicted for forging a receipt,
with intent to defraud Nicholas, Baron Besley, and
others, the, trustees of the St. Martin's Saving's Bank.
Mr. -Doane conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantine appeared for the prisoner.
This case was similar to the one disposed of on
Friday. A sum of 601. had been paid in the bank by
an old woman named Anne Lee, and after her death the
prisoner produced an order for the payment of the
amount, but in sonsequence of it appearing that the
depositor could not write, some suspicion was excited,
and an inquiry took place. It was then ascertained that
the prisoner had signed the order, and she said that the
deceased had authorised her to do so. It also turned
out that the deceased had been buried as a pauper, and
that she had amassed-the money by rzeans of begging
letters and other impositions during her lifetime.
'The jury found the prisoner guilty, and she was sen-
tenced to two years', imprisonment and hard labour. •

THE QUEEN V. HOLT.
The defendant in,this case is Thomas Holt, the pro-
prietor andpublisher of the Age newspaper, who had been
indicted fur a libel upon the character of Lord W. Paget.
The case had been removed out of this Court by a writ of
certiorari, and brought back again by a procedendo. The
defendant, at present a prisoner in the Queen's Prisoa,.
was brought up in custody to plead.
The Clerk addressed him, and said, " Thomas Holt,
you are indicted for a libel and misdemeanor ; do you
plead guilty,or not guilty ?"
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
. After, a:: short conversation between Mr. Doane and,
the Court, the prisoner was removed ; and it was under-
stood that the case would be tried this day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

Ckarlotte Collins, very fashionably-dressed, and of lady-
like appearance was :brought up in custody of Inspector
Dudley, of the l division, charged on suspicion of entering
the shop of Mr.lWilliam Chickell Jay,
_of 247 and 249, Regent-
stieet, silk mercer, with intent to commit felOny.
The Court was thronged with tradesujel who had-thanes
to prefer against her.
Mr. Jay stated that between six and seven o'clock last
evening the prisoner entered his shop and made a selection
of goods to the amount of 281., and directed they should be
sent to a fictitious address in Bond-street. While looking
over the goods, however, she was identified as being the party
who some months previously ordered goods in a similar
manner to be sent to an address, which proved to be false,
and on that occasion it was discovered, that while selecting
the goods she contrived to steal a piece of valuable silk. Her
_ordering the goods was a mere ruse to afford her the oppor-
tunity of stealing.
Mr. Wm. Poppy, of No. 285, High Holborn, silk mercer,
&c., stated, that about five months since, the prisoner paid
him a visit, and ordered goods. to the amount of 12L, to be
sent with the change of a 201. note, to Miss Parker, at No.
21, Charing-cross. Of course, no such person could be found
there. Immediately after she had left the shop a valuable
shawl, which had been shown her, was missing.
Mr. Baker, of Ludgate-hill, silk mercer, was visited by
the prisoner in a similar manner, and lost a piece of silk.
Inspector Dudley said, that on searching the prisoner's
lodgings, at No. 4, Upper Rosamond-street, Clerkenwell, 21
duplicates were found, which related, no doubt, to the pro-
perty stolen. She had been carrying on this system of de-
predation to a very great extent for upwards of twelve
months past.
She was ordered to be detained in the custody of the In-
spector until the property at the pawnbrokers should be
examined.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
DESPERATE ASSAULT.—John Kale and Mary Beasley (his
sister), were charged with violently assaulting John Beasley,
under the following circumstances :
The prosecutor (who is the husband of the female prisoner)
stated that, from the intemperate and irregular conduct of
his wife, he had been frequently obliged to leave her. At
eleven o'clock last night, on his return to his mother's house,
where ho was in the habit of staying, Kale rushed into the
room, and upsetting the table at which he was eating his supper,
struck him a violent blow across his head with a shovel, which
he had taken from the fire-place on his entrance. He then
knocked him down and stamped on his chest, and would no
doubt have murdered him, had not his cries of " Murder "
brought several persons to his aid, who secured the prisoner.
The female prisoner, it appeared, assisted in the assault,
The Worthy MAGISTRATE said that it was his duty to make
an example of those who resorted to the un-English practice
of assaulting others with such dangerous weapons. He
should, therefore, fine the male prisoner 31., or six weeks' im-
prisonment, and the female prisoner 305., or three weeks' im-
prisonment.

POLICE CONSTABLES FEES.—The Commissioners of
the Metropolitan Police force have caused a great reduction to
be made in the allowances to police constables who are wit-
nesses attending the Central Criminal Court, which deter-
mination has brought it, like the City Police, down to one
shilling per day, andone shilling and sixpence per night, if
they come any distance.
THE AUTHOR OF " TREMAINE.”—Perhaps no other
literary name of the day excites such interest in connection
with the announcement of a new novel or romance, as that
of the Author of " Tremaine ;" and from the time when that
name first came before the literary world, up to the present
moment, it has never before been connected with so piquant
and attractive a title, especially for novel and romance
readers, as that of the work it is now on the point of usher-
ing into the world—namely, " Chatsworth ; or the Romance
of a Week." It is true, the responsibility of the Author of
" Tremaine " on the present occasion is that of " Editor "
only; but the social as well as the literary position of Mr.
Plumer Ward, added to his accomplished and fastidious
taste, and his elegant scholarship, offe a guarantee that the
work is one of no ordinary pretensions.r
[ADVERTISEMENTI---REMARKABLE CURE OF A
DREADFUL CASE OF CROFULA BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS
AND OE.TrmENT.—Mr. Moore, a chemist, residing at Castle

ment to John Bircher, residing at King's Mills,
Derbyshire,
for the use of his son, aged 13 years, who had been afflicted
with Scrofula for a period of eight years, and had been under
the treatment of the celebrated Dr. Dorman, of Melbourne ;
Dr. Extale, of Swannington ; Dr. Barton, of Stanley ; and
Dr. Hearp, of Derby, but without obtaining the least relief.
The boy, however, is now perfectly cured by these wonder-
ful Medicines. Sold at Professor Holloway's Establishment,

A GLIMPSE AT SPANISH LIFE AS IT IS.—Between
Pancorbo and Burgos we passed several half-ruined villages,
which appeared parched—almost calcined—by the sun. I
doubt if Decamps, the painter, ever encountered, during his
rambles in the heart of Asia Minor, anything more burnt
and tawny, more crumbling and decayed, than these wretched
collection of hovels. Wandering about among their dilapi-
dated walls, were a few jackasses, of that philosophical and
contemplative aspect peculiar to the Spanish donkey, who is
fully aware of his awn utility, considers himself as part of the
family to which he belongs ; and, moreover, having read
Don Quixote, assumes an additional degree of importance, on
account of die possibility of his being lineally descended
from Sancho's celebrated Dapple. Besides the asses, the
only living things visible were some magnificent dogs of va-
rious breeds ; amongst others, several enormous greyhounds,
uch as one sees introduced in the paintings of Paul Veronese
and Velasquez ; and here and there a group of peasant chil-
dren, whose eyes sparkled, like black diamonds, through their
filthy rags and long tangledhair.— Gautier's Travels in Spain.

' REPEAL ASSOCIATION'. "'s- Dumax, FEB. 12.—At one o'clock the chair yri3 yak en by
John A. O'Neill, Esq. Mr. M. O'Connell intraelaced -lb' the
meeting, which was crowded to suffocation, the hew Member
for Tipperary, Mr. Nicholas Maher.
Mr. O'NEILL said, as he came forward to preside at the first
meeting held after the arrest of Mr. O'Connell, he conceived

the world who possessed the confidence of seven millions of
people was about to be removed from them for a shOrt time.
A blow had been struck at them in his person; and an at-
tempt was made to invade the liberty of the ress—tha
great palladium of public liberty— en
an pgine Which
they
valued next to their personal liberty.—(Hear, and cheers.)
He did not impugn the verdict which had been given—this
was not the place for doing so; but elsewhere it would be
the subject of discussion. This he believed—that had the
trial taken place in England there would have been an ac-
quittal. It had been said that the Government would put
down the Association by a proclamation. He would tell her
Majesty's Government very calmly, but not less determin-
edly, that if they did, patriotism, would assume so many
Protean shapes, that no Administration could put down the
struggle for national independence.
Shortly before two o'clock Mr. O'Connell entered the hall,
and was received with peals of applause.
Mr. O'CorssELL—One word for Ireland. Everybody
knows that Lord John Russell has given notice of a motion
for to-morrow in reference to the affairs of Ireland. I do
not think much of any battle which may take place between
parties in London upon the subject. The present Parlia-
ment is packed against Ireland, and it is not my intention to
go over to the debate, lest I should hold out the expectation
that the present Parliament would do anything for Ireland.
But still I would wish to give every reasonable assistance to
Lord John Russell's motion. Therefore, I will move that
two of the gentlemen who acted as counsel for the tra-
versers (Sir Colman'O'Loghlin-and Mr. O'Hea) be nomi-
nated stSi'probeeff' te'London this night to render aSsslgratite
to Lord John Russell. They are full masters of all the de-
tails of the case, and may be useful in affording information
to Lord John Russell. I therefore move that the standing
order be suspended, to enable me to move that the Associa-
tion should request Sir C. O'Loghlin and Mr. O'Hea to pro
ceefl to London to-night.
The motion was put and passed.
Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, 111.1).—I rise to propose a motion for
calling upon Mr. O'Connell to allow the Association to print
his address in defence of the people, as delivered by him in
the Court of Queen's Bench. It was an admirable oration ;
and was not less so, because it was altogether free from
meretricious ornament. The Judges of England, he -con-
sidered, had always been looked upon as councial for the ac- . .
cused; but on that occasion the Chief Justice had not only
departed from that rule, but had actually volunteered him-
self as counsel against them, and forgot himself so far as to
allude to the counsel for the traversers, as the gentlemen on
the other side.—(Cheers.) He felt that they were bound to
bring these things under the consideration of Parliament and
her Majesty.
Mr. N. NAIIER, M. P., said he had great pleasure in se-
condieg the motion of Mr. O'Brien. There was nothing he
so much delighted in as exposing a public delinquent.
The motion having been put from the chair and carried,
Mr. O'CONNELL said that of course he would comply with
the request, although that the speech lie made was said to
have been a failure; but anything he could have said would
have been a failure when compared with the splendid address'
of his friend, Mr. Sheil, and the transcendantly talented
speech of that able counsel, Mr. Whiteside. lie (Mr. O'Con-
nell) did not therefore attempt to use any eloquence in his
speech—there was no gilding upon his gingerbread. He had
extorted religious equality, and trampled under foot Orange
ascendancy—(Here a scene of yellineensued that it would
be impossible to describe.) If he were confined in a dungeon
—(Cries of " No, no," and great confusion)—he meant to
say, that in case such an event occurred, was it not a subject.
or congratulation that they wouid find another leader in
Smith O'Brien ?
it
Mr. O'CONNELL read letter from Dr. Gray, in which that
gentleman tendered his resignation as a 'member of the As-
sociation, because he felt that the present were times when
proprietors of public journals ought not to be identified with
an Association like this. Mr. O'Connell regretted that Dr.
Gray was obliged to adopt the course he had done..He would
always consider him as one of his dearest friends, and an un-
flinching advocate of the people's rights.
Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN wished it to be distinctly understood
that they received Dr. Gray's resignation under protest.
The week's rent was then announced to be 643!., and the
meeting separated.
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUTENANT DYKE. •
A Court-martial, composed of Rear-Admiral Superinten-
dent Hyde Parker, CIL,- President ; Captain W. Henderson,
C. 8., of the Victory ; Captain Sir J. Hastings, Knight, of
the Excellent; Captain R. F. Rowley; of the St. Vincent;
and Commander Wilcox, of the Ordinary ; with Mr. W.
Greatham, Judge Advocate, assembled on Monday morning
on board the Vincent, 120 flag-ship, to try Lieut. Pecbe
Hart Dyke, late senior Lieutenant of the Iris, 26, on charges
exhibited against him by Captain W. Lee, R.M., late "acting
Commandant of the Island of Ascension.
First Charge.—For having, on or about the 20th of July,
1842, the Iris being then at anchor off the
_lsland of Ascen-
sion, falsely and maliCiOusly asserted on beard the Iris, that
he (Captain W. Lee) had destroyed or Made away with cer-
tain public letters and'dOciiinents from the late Captain Pen-
nett, Commandant of the Island of AseensiOn, addressed to
the Admiralty, and to the late Captain Tucker, senior naval
officer on the African station, he the said Captain W. Lee)
being at the time acting Conimancdant of that island.
Second Charge.s--For having, on or about the 26th day of
July, 1842, falsely, and maliciously stated, in the gun-room
of the Iris, that he (Captain Lee) 'had told a deliberate lie ;
and that he (Captain Lee) had broken open a desk, and taken
therefrom, articles whichdid not belong to him ; such state-
ments and assertions tending to injure his (Captain Lee's)
character as an officer and a gentleman.
A number of witnesses were examined for the prosecution,
among them a young lady who had sent out the desk in ques-
tion from England, and who under very trying circumstances,
although very young, gave her evidence in a most correct,
becoming, and lady-like manner.
The prisoner, who was assisted by Messrs. Minchin and
Oake, solicitors, made a most able defence, and called a
number of witnesses to disproVe the evidence for the prosecu-
tion. A number of certificates from officers under whom the
prisoner had served were handed in, and were read to the
Court ; and Captains Sir W. Grant, Sir J. Hastings, and R.
F. Rowley, Dr. Irvine, and several others, were called on,
who gave Lieutenant Dyke a high private and public profes-
sional character.
The Court having maturelY weighed the evidence for and
against the prisoner, found him in part guilty.of the first
charge, and sentenced him to be admonished to be more care-
ful in his language in future.
Ths Court acquitted the prisoner on the second charge.
' 'The proceedings of the Court did not terminate till nearly
eight o'clock, r.M.

The real lamp of Aladdin is that on the merchant's
desk. All the geniis, white, olive, or black, who people the
atmosphere of earth, it puts -in motion at the antipodes. It
builds palaces in the wilderness and cities in the forest, and
collects every splendour and every refinement of luxury from
the lingers of subservient. toil. Kings of the East 'are slaves
of the lamp ; the winds blow and the seas roll only to work
the behest of its owner.— William Taylor of Norwich.

ACCIDENT AT THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT'B STABLES.
—Yesterday afternoon Thomas Enwright, a groom in the
service of the Duke of Beaufort, was kicked in a shocking
manner by a horse belonging to his Grace, at his stables,
Apple-tree-yard, York-street, St. James's-square. It appears
that Enwright was about to remove the horse from his stall,
and on arriving near him he called to him in the usual way,
when the animal suddenly kicked out and struck the unfor-
tunate man in the face, hurling him with fearful violence
against the wall of the stable opposito. On proceeding to his
assistance scarcely a feature of his face was discernible, the
nose being completely flattened, one eye forced from its
socket, and a long and deep wound, so as to admit thereia
two fingers, across the top of his nose and under the fore-
head. A medical gentleman was called in, who, however,
directed his immediate removal to St. George's Hospital,
where he was attended by Mr. Keate, one of the house sur-
geons, and Serjeant-Surgeon to her Mtkiesty, and his assis-
tants ; and, notwithstanding the injuries the -patient has
received, some slight hopes are given of his ultimate recovery.
THE WEATHER.—THE MAILS.—On Monday night
a thick fog prevailed throughout the metropolis and neigh-
bourhood, which rendered travelling both difficult and dan-
gerous. On the Thames navigation was almost wholly sus-
pended, the vessels which did leave the docks and wharfs
being obliged to bring up soon -afterwards in the Pool and
other parts of the river. Thefog continued with littlewi!lfeenrai-
