ANCE SOCIETY,

26, CORNHILL, LONDON.
Capital £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
the 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 equitabie
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied iu reduction of future
premiums

The. usual Allowance to the Trade has always been, and con•
filmes to be made. A Specimen Copy will be immediately forwarded
by post, to any part of the kingdom, on receipt of 37 postage stamps,
addressed to the office, as above.

equalled, by any other monthly periodical.

Numerous recent notices of "The Mirror" attest that, with all the

THE TEA MARKET, No. 8, LUDGATE-
HILL, LONDON.
SIDNEY and HALL, Proprietors.
The New Year opens with more cheering prospects for the- Tea
Consumer, than for many previous seasons. War, rapine, and injus-
tice have given place to peace and friendship. The glories of the
Celestial Empire are no longer veiled in mystery to the Western
Hemisphere. An extended field is opened to the energies of the British
merchant—we trust for successful enterprise. Ages yet to fellow will
admire the firmness which has successfhlly overcome the rooted preju-
dices of thousands of years ; and the ingenious millions who populate
the vast territories of China, will hail the event that opens to their
industry the commercial freedom of the civilised world. One of the
many advantages of peace over war to the community is best shown
by reference to the comparative value of Tea in 1840 and 1844:
Value of common Congou (exclusive of duty) in •
February 1840
Value of common Congou (exclusive of duty) in
February 1844 . .
Making a difference of two hundred per cent., or thrice the value of
Tea, in the time of war over the present rates. We recommend fa-
milies to pay for a Common Breakfast Tea, 3s. 4d. per lb. ; for a
strong full-bodied Congou, 3s. Bd. or 4s. per lb. ; for the finest Congott
imported, ss. per lb. ; and for the most delicious Souchong, ss. 6d. per
lb. The two latter Teas are of very rare quality.

BLAI R'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
FURTHER TESTIMONIALS OF THE EFFICACY
OF THIS MEDICINE.
To Mr. PRUITT 229, Strand London.
Frimley, near Bagshot, Surrey, A pril 23, 1843.
Sir,—l enclose three cases in which the parties therein named have
received great benefit from using Blair's Pills, and the truth of which
lam at any time ready to make affidavit of it required. You are at
perfect liberty to publish them if you think proper. Hoping this
may induce the incredulous to make a trial of the Pins, which will
speedily convince them of their value, 1 am, Sir. yours truly,
./OHN G_ILES.

Pirbrlght, April 23, 1443.
Dear Sir -Upon your recommendation I sent for a box of Blair's
Rheumatic Pills, and to my astonishment a few doses entirely re-
moved the tormenting pains my wife had suffered so long; but hay.
ing caught a severe cold the rheumatism again returned, when hay-
'ng recourse to a few more Pills, it again fled, and has not /time
returned The public are not generally aware of the efficacy of this
truly valuable medicine, or few would suffbr from rheumatism.
In conseqnence of witnessing the effects of the above medicine in
my own family, I recommended Edward Bridger, now sixty-seven
years of age, a labourer and jobbing gardener, to apply to you, he
being much afflicted with rheumatism for twenty years; he could
scarcely get any sleep, being always worse when in bed, and nnable
to walk without the assistance of a stick. You gave him some Pills.
I saw him yesterday ; he told me he could now get rest, which he had
been unable to do for a very long time; he is still lame from the
length of time he has been afflicted, but can now walk without much
inconvenience ten or twelve miles in the day, and can, as he says, do
any light work ; he has applied to rue for aiob at hoeing. It is dis.
tressing to see a fellow-creature suffering such excruciating pain,
when relief can be obtained by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic
Pills. I shall, for the benefit of tho e who may suffer, continue to
recommend them,—l am, dear Sir, yours truly
To John J. Giles, Esq., GEORGE INN WOOD.
nroley, Surrey.
Blackwater, near Bagshot, Feb. 25, 184.3.
Dear Giles, —Th e effect of Blair's Pills has been everything could
wish for. 1 had symptoms of the Gout during Wednesday night; I
took two Pills during the night, and two in the morning, which quite
removed the pain ; and I was enabled to give a lecture at Hartly-
row on Thursday evening, although I was in fear that morning I
ulinot have been enabled to leave home.
I am, dear Sir, yours truly, EDW. J. LANCE.

FOR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH.
ri/fR. 'THOMAS'S SUCCEDANEUM,
'Price 4s. 6d.
Patronised by
her-Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent.
This valuable SUCCEDANEUM for :TOPPING DECAYED
TEETH, however large the cavity, is far superior to anything ever
before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any
pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes as hard as the enamel,
and will remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extrac-
tion unnecessary. It arrests all farther progress of decay, and ren-
ders theni again useful in mastication.
Prepared only by Mr Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 6S,
Berners-street,
Oxford-street. Price* 49. 6d. ; and will be sent free by post to any
part, of the kingdom.
Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without springs
or wires; and has introduced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of
ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will be found very superior to all
others, as they will never decay, nor become discoloured, and their
perfect resemblance to nature defies detection even by the closest ob-
server. This method does not require the extraction of any teeth or
roots, or any painful operation whatever. The charges will be found
much lower than most Dentists.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM THE MOANING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mille,
which, at the English Mint price of 3!.•175. 104 d. per ounce
for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 401 ; and the
exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 55, it follows
that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4334 per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9* ; and
the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10,
it follows that gold is 9.34 per cent. dearer in London than in
Hamburgh.
The course of exchange_ at New York on London is 109
per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is 0.57 per cent. against England ; but the quoted ex-
change at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the
interest must be deducted from the above difference.
SUN.—Consols,closed heavily this afternoon, but there have
been no sales of importance. The rates were 97* to 11. The
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 102 ; and Exchequer

IRELAND.
DEPARTURE OF MR. O'CONNELL FOR LONDON.
DUBLIN, FEB. 13.—Mr. O'Connell is to leave Kingstown
this evening by the half-past nine o'clock mail for London,
in order to attend the debate on Lord John Russell's motion.
He will be accompanied by Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P.,
Mr. John O'Conneil,, M.P., Mr. Morgan John O'Connell,
M.P., and Mr. N. Maher, the new Member for the county of
Tipperary ; and Sir Coleman O'Loughlin, one of the counsel
for the traversers in the recent State trials.
Mr. Sheil, M.P., and Mr. Archbold, M.P., also take their
departure for London this evening.
ADDRESS FROM MR._ O'CONNELL ON HIS DE-

PARTURE.
The following address from Mr. O'Connell appears in the
Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon :
" TO TILE PEOPLE OF IRELAND.
" Merrion-square, Feb. 13, 1844.
" Fellow-countrymen,—In addressing the Association yes-
terday, I stated that it was my intention not to attend the
discussion upon Lord John Russell's motion. Since that
time I have formed a better opinion of the views with which
that motion is brought forward. Besides, it now seems to
me quite clear that there may occur in the course of the
debate some topics which it would be desirable that I should
be present-to elucidate.
"Again, it has occurred to in that it is my duty to attend
once more in my. place in the House of Commons, and to
protest, in, the name of the Catholic people of Ireland,
against the attempt made—and in this instance, I think,
successfully made—by the Attorney-General, to repeal the
most beneficial part of the Emancipation Act—namely, that
which professed to secure for us fair and impartial trial by
jury.

" Indeed, the exclusion of Catholics from the jury list, and
the omission (which it is impossible to believe could be ac-
cidental) of one-tenth of the names in the jury panel, involve
considerations of so important a nature as to render it, in
my opinion, my imperative duty firmly to protest, in the
presence of the British Parliament, against proceedings of
so unjustifiable a nature.
" Upon the whole, therefore, I have determined to sail for
England +his evening, •It is not that lam no foolish. az. La
- .teurrns,frtan the 'Tory n :ity ,n the British House
of Commons, as at present constituted ; but that is no reason
why I should not bring another instance of English injus-
tice towards Ireland before the British people and the civilised
world.

"My stay in England will be but short. I leave the
people of Ireland in determined peace and tranquillity; and
I have the fullest confidence that they will persevere in
that tranquillity until my return, which will be in a few
days. In the meantime, I earnestly recommend the conti-
nuance of all legal measures for forwarding the sacred cause
of the repeal.
" I hope the Irish Members will muster 'strong on the
present debate.

" I am, your ever faithful and devoted servant,
"DANIEL O'CONNELL."

THE NAVY.
. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
There are 188 Admirals in the Royal Navy, of which
number about •18 are Irish ; the rest are Scotch and
English. At this period 14 Admirals are employed
and one Commodore, all Scotch and English. •
Not one of the above 18 Irish Admirals are em-
ployed. Rear-Admiral Bowles, a Tory, commands the
naval force on the coast of Ireland.
This points out what Ireland has gained by the
Union!—not an Irish naval officer at the Admiralty ;
three members of that Board, however, are Scotch.

THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM-SHIP
AVON.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.-By the arrival of
the ship Superb, Captain Gatchell, from Mobile, we find by
his report that the royal mail steam-ship Avon was seen
between Cape Antonia and the Horona, under sail only. Her
report runs thus :
" On the 9th of January, lat. 23 deg., 40 min. ; long. 84
deg. 30 min., saw a large steamer under canvass only, appa-
rently steering for Havannah ; was painted black, and had
white quarter boats, and white life boats inverted over the
paddle boxes."

Capt. Gatchell has not said that it was the Avon, but from
ke date, her position, and appearance, there is no doubt but
rat it was her. Sbe is now over due.

ARRIVAL OF THE PENINSULAR MAILS.--SOUTII-
vroN, FEB. 14.—The Oriental Company's steam-packet
the Montrose, Captain Lewis, arrived in the docks this morn-
ing at half-past eight, from Gibraltar, and landed her mails
in time to go up by the nine o'clock mail-train. She left
Gibraltar on the 4th instant, Cadiz the sth, Lisbon the ith,
Oporto the Bth, and Vigo the 9th. She brings a full cargo
of fruit and passengers. The Montrose experienced very
thick weather during the latter part of the voyage. The
Oriental steamer, Captain Soy, has arrived from Alexandria,
and now lies at the Mother Bank. She is expected to be
released from quarantine to-morrow, and will land her pas-
sengers here, sixteen in number. The Pacha, Capt. Wilson,
will take out the Peninsular, Gibraltar, and Malta mails, to-
morrow, at 3 P.M. Very great uneasiness is manifested here
at the non-arrival of the Royal West India mail-packet, the
Avon, which was due at this port on the 4th instant. It is
supposed that being short of fuel she has been obliged to put
into some distant port for recoaling. The well-known lec-
turer, Mr. George Thompson, who contested the last election
of this borough with Lord Nugent as his colleague, is a pas-
senger by the Oriental, and is expected to make a stay in

this town for a few days.
THE NEW SILVER COINAGE. —The workmen at
the Royal Mint are daily at work in striking off the new
silver coinage, a considerable amount of which has been sent
to the Bank of England within the last few days. The
panic respecting the light gold currency having subsided,
the Governor and Company of the Bank of England will
shortly give notice that they will issue the new silver coinage
at the Bullion-office in exchange for the old coinage of
George 111., George IV., and Willian IV., which are so de-
faced from wear and tear and deficient in weight. The
public will not in any way be losers by the calling in of
the old silver, arrangements having been made between the
Government and the Bank to that effect. A very large
quantity of the new coinage has been sent' off by railway
since Monday to the different branch banks in the manu-
facturing and agricultural districts of England, Wales, and
Scotland. As the Bank receives it, the clerks will have it so
defaced as not to be re-issued, and it will be remelted at the
Mint. The quantity of bullion at present in the Bank is
nearly 16,000,000 sterling—a larger amount than for many
years.

LITERATURE.
TALFOURD'S TRAGEDIES.
Moxon, .ondon, 1844.
We are thankful to Mr. Moxon, who has been justly
called the " poet's publisher," for this neat and cheap
edition of the plays of the correctest and loftiest of liv-
ing dramatists. Hitherto they have been published in
so expensive a form as to place them without the reach
of the poorer and humbler class of readers, but now—
despite the income-tax—they will be accessible to all; and
greatly, indeed, shall we be mistaken if they be not received
with as much favour by the intelligent, self-educated.
operative, as they have already been by the scholar, the,
critic, and the "Sir Oracles" of taste about town. We.
are the more confident on this point, because the writings
of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, though exquisitely. polished
end refined, yet breathe the truest spirit humanity ;
so far from being exclusiie. or. conventional in their
,
jonegthey are vatholie in the most comprehensive sense
of the term ; eschew all cloudy, metaphysical abstrac-
tions ; and make their appeal direct to those sterling
sympathies which are more or less on the alert in every
mans bosom. What reader, for instance, even though
moving in the humblest walks of life, and picking up his
scanty meal of knowledge as best he may, cannot appre-
Ciate the _heroic self-denial of lon ; and feel his heart
glow with admiration of the patriotic sentiments that are
constantly dropping, like the fairy pearls in the fable,
from the lips of the Athenian Thoas ? It is not requi-
site that a man should be a scholar, or familiar with
the dramatists of Greece, to appreciate the full for& and
beauty of these characters ; nothing more is necessary
than that he should possess a sound head, and a heart
not yet quite frozen by the chilling influences of what is
called the " world." 'When some months since, a " Peo-
ple's Edition," a: it is termed, of theWaverleyNovels was
projected, it was observed by an intelligent critic that
it would scarcely answer, inasmuch as the chivalrous and
aristocratic bent of Sir W. Scott's genius must necessarily
be uninteresting, if not unintelligible, to the humbler'
class of readers. The result has proved the fallacy of
this opinion, for the edition in question has been emi-
nently successful; and so, we venture to predict, will be
the cheap little duodecimo before us, and for precisely
the same reasons—namely, that notwithstanding the
splendour of his imagery, the classic beauty of his descrip-
tions, and the high-toned, aristocratic—we do not mean

o imply by this term a mere question of rank—character
of his heros, the author has everwhere taken nature for
his ground-work. Hence he is a favourite even in rude,
republican, repudiating Yankee-land—the beloved of
Sidney Smith—which could never have been the case,
had he not throughout his works apealed forcibly to
" that human-heart by which we live," choosing rather
to obey the fervid prompting's of sensibility, which rarely
lead an author asti ay, than the cold, unsatisfactory (sug-
gestions of the mere understanding. This it is that makes
al the difference between the true and the false in the
productions of mind, and explains the reason why, with
all their polished dignity of style, their stately concep-
tions, and the prestige attached to their authors' names,
such dramas as Cate, the Revenge, and Irene—those
frigid imitations of humanity—mere offsprings of the
head, unaided by the heart—have never yet taken the
sl=gli:est hold on the public mind, or roused one genuine
emotion either in the closet or on the stage. We look
upon this cheap " People's Edition" of Mr. Sergeant
Talfourd's plays. as one of the most encouraging signs
of the times that could have been exhibited—as a con-
vincing proof, in fact, that a taste for elegant, imaginative
literature is fast spreading in quarters where, twenty
years since, all was ignorance, prejudice, and brutality ;
and were we in want of an argument for the further ex-
tension of the franchise, we know not that we could find
a more cogent one than is furnished us by the publica-
tien o: this half-a-crown volume. ,ant Mr. Moxon's
task is as yet but half completed. He must give us
cheap editions of the Learned Sergeant's prose as well
as of his poetry, for some of the soundest criticisms and
most thoughtful moral essays of which modern litera-
ture can boast, may be found in his numerous contri-
butions to the Edinburgh Review and the New Monthly
Magazine. Of one essay in particular, the Wine-
cellar," we entertain a very vivid recollection. It is
many years since it was published ' • but the airiness—
the grace—the sunny character of its fancy—and the
spirit of unaffected cordiality that breathes through h—
are among those things which leave a lasting impres-
sion on the mind. Not less excellent, though in a dif-
ferent style is that essay on the " Profession of the Bar,"
which first appeared, if we mistake not, in the New
Monthly Magazine, and which is fully entitled to the
honour of republication, if only for its nicely discrimi-
nated sketches of Brougham, Scarlett, and the late Lord
Erskine. But to return to the volume before us. In
addition to the tragedies, which it would be super-
fluous here to criticise, it contains an eloquent and
afrectlonate notieb-iirsthe late DoeforiTaTpy, every word
of which is founded in truth, as we ourselves can per-
sonally testify. The Doctor was, indeed, one of the
wisest and kindliest of men. As the head of a great
public school, never was man more beloved than he was
by his pupils, not only for the kindness he manifested
to them when under his superintendence, but for the
warm interest which through life ha continued to take
in their welfare. Of all his pupils there were none
of whom he was so proud, or spoke so often in terms of
admiration, as the late Baron Bolland and Mr. Sergeant
Talfourd. Besides this eloquent tribute to the memory
of one of the best of scholars and of men, we have
several sonnets, which, it seems, are now for the first

time published, and which are characterised by all that
Attic polish of diction and nobility of sentiment which
form such conspicuous features in the tragedies. Here
is one entitled " The Forb9 at Reading, revisited on a
Missy Evening in Autumn :
" Soft uplands, that in boyhood's earliest days
"Seem'd mountain-like and distant, fain once more
Would I behold you I but the autumn hoar
Yet must
I outlinew aittill on my
lives—mored
eadear searching
thathan
gf;_eze wore
Ilath veil'd your pensive groves in evening haze ;
An April sunset's consecrating rays—
For, even thus the images of yore
Which ye awaken glide from misty years
Dream-like and solemn, and but half unfold
Their tale of glorious hopes, religious fears,
And visionary schemes of giant mould ;
Whose dimmest trace the world-worn heart reveres,
And, with love's grasping weakness, strives to hold."
The epithet' "consecrating," which we have marked
in italics, strikes us as being eminently beautiful, con-
veying, as it does, just such a solemn and poetical idea
of sunset as the hour would naturally suggest to a
thoughtful, high-toned mind. But indeed the whole
sonnet is " one entire and perfect chrysolite," and for us
has. an ineffable charm, for it brings vividly before us
the recollection of the noble play-ground, with the " soft
up'ands " of Caversham in the distance, and the inter-
mediate ranges of ttis King's Meadows, from which
duly on summer and autumn evenings a light silvery
vapour would arise, clothing all things in its fleecy
mantle—a trivial circumstance, which the author, how-

ever, has contrived to turn to the most poetical account.
We close our brief notice with .the sonnet on " Eton
College, surveyed after leaving a Son at School there
for the first time," in which our readers will not fail to
admire the earnest and solemn tenderness that charac-
terizes the closing lines :
" How often have I fix'd a stranger's gaze
On yon fant'd turrets, clad in light as fair
As this sweet evening lends, and felt the air
Of Learning that from calm of ancient days
Breathes round them ever ! Now to me they wear
Hues drawn from dearer thought ; the radiant haze
That mantles them grows thick with fondest care,
And its slant sunbeams flicker like the praise
Youth wins from wisdom ;—for in yon retreats
One little student's heart expectant beats
Witli blood of mine ;—O God I vouchsafe him power,
When I am dust, to stand on this sweet place,
And, through the vista of long years, embrace
1V ith cloudless soul this first Etonian hour."

ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CoNxELL—Daniel O'Connell,
Esq., M.P., accompanied by his son, Morgan O'Connell, Sir
Coleman O'Loughlin, and some other gentlemen, ar-
rived on Wednesday at Liverpool, by the second mail-
steamer from Dublin. A large concourse of people sur-
rounded the hotel throughout the day, and about five o'clock
so numerous was the assemblage, that Mr. O'Connell was
compelled to appear and address the multitude in a short
speech. He stated that he had previously no intention of
offering any remarks in public on the occasion of his present
visit to Liverpool, nor had he at one time thought of visiting
London, at least for some time ; but he had since changed his
mind, though he should not take any part in the discussion
on Lord John Russell's motion. He did, however, intend
to enter his solemn protest against the fresh acts of injus-
tice to Ireland contained in the late State trials. He had
served his country for forty-eight years, during the entire of
which lie had been Ole invariable advocate of peace ; and
whatever checks might be opposed to his future career, he
would still continue legally and strenuously to agitate for
the Repeal of the Union. He declared himself decidedly in
favour of Universal Suffrage ; and, in conclusion, after say-
ing that lie hoped they would, as their friends in Ireland
had hitherto done, preserve the peace, he proposed three
cheers for the Queen, which were heartily given. He
shortly after lett Liverpool, reached Birmingham last night,
and has arrived in London this day. The Irish Attorney-
General intended to have sailed for London on Tuesday
evening, to attend the debate on Lord John Russell's motion,
but a sudde* attack of illness has compelled the Right Hon.
Gentleman to delay his departure.
FRIGHTFUL AcciDENT.—Yesterday, shortly before
twelve o'clock, an accident, which was nearly attended with
a lamentable loss of life, occurred in Upper Grosvenor-street,
Grosvenor-square. For some time past a number of men
have been employed in that street in making a sewer, and
yesterday, whilst they were " shutting" the earth at each
side of the trench, a part of the ground was noticed to
crumble, cqused no doubt by the sudden breaking up of the
frost. An alarm was immediately raised, and several of the
men succeeded in effecting their escape. Five of the exca-
vators were not so fortunate, for one immense piece of ground,
weighing some tons, fell into the trench, and completely im- j
bedded them ; three were buried up to their chins. With j
assistance two of the men were quickly extricated, and with-
out receiving any hurt. The other three, Thomas Tread-
away, George Gibbs, and William Cooper were not got out
until near half-past two o'clock, when they were instantly
removed in a very exhausted state to St. George's Hospital,
where they were attended to by Mr. Barrett, the house sur-
geon, and Mr. Hawkins, assistant surgeon, and at eight
o'clock last night, it was the opinion of those gentlemen that
nothing fatal need be apprehended, for provldcatally uo
bones were broken.

KNACKERS' YARDS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR—In common, lam sure, with many of your
readers, I was much pleased to see it stated in your
paper that a petition, complaining of the inadequacy
of the present law with regard to knackers' yards,
had been presented from the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ; by whom, the
same paragraph informed the public, a Bill for amend-
ing the existing Acts had been prepared, and would be
introduced early in the present session of Parlianient.
To those of your readers who recollect the account
of the horrors of the knackers' yards, which appeared
in many of the public journals a short time since,
and which painfully attracted public attention, the
necessity which exists for having such places put
under stringent regulations must be very apparent.
By all who value the horse, and who would save him
from unnecessary suffering in any part of his career,
the attempt to alleviate the misery he has hitherto
been made to endure, in his last and worst stage,
will be satisfactory ; and I trust sincerely that the
Bill in question, when it comes before Parliament,
will meet with that support which every measure of
humanity deserves.—l have the honour to be, Sir,
your most obedient Servant,

HARDENED CRIMINALS.
The Court of Assizes of the Nord was, on the 6th inst.,
occupied with the trial of three as hardened ruffians as ever
stood at the bar of a Court of Justice. They were—a man
named Colin, already under condemnation to hard labour for
life, for an attempt at murder ; Druon, under sentence to the
same punishment for ten years ; and Friedlander, twice con-
demned to the hulks for life, for attempt at murder. They
were charged with having, on Nov. 26, attempted to set
fire to the Central Prison at Loos, by which one prisoner,
named Delvigne, was sacrificed, and three others much in-
jured. The three prisoners avowed their crime, declaring that
they did it to get removed from the prison, were-it even to
the scaffold. The Director of the establishment, in giving evi-
dence, declared that, from circumstances, he was induced to
think Friedlander less guilty than the others : on which Co-
lin rose, and told the Court that the reason the Directorspoke
thus was, that finding their plan was not likely to succeed
this time, they wished to secure some future means of re-
venge for the hardships they had been made to endure in
the Central prison. They therefore considered that Fried-
lander, having always conducted himself well during his con-
finement, had the best chance of being acquitted in this af-
fair, and would at a future opportunity repeat the offence with
better chance of success. Friedlander acknowledged this to
be their plan. In the course of the trial M. Guilmot, the sur-
geon of the prison, was called on by Friedlander to testify to
the truth of some fact, but which that gentleman denied. A
short time after, just as the President was about to commence
his summing up, a cry was heard to proceed from the witness's
bench, and M. Guilmot was seen to fall to the ground, bleed-
ing copiously from a blow on the head from Friedlandees
heavy wooden shoe, which the latter had thrown at him.
While M. Guilmot was being removed from the Court, the
prisoners conducted themselves most violently, struggling
with the gensdarmes, and crying out that "it was death they
wished for, death rather than the Central Prison." The
guard was immediately increased, and the soldiers ordered to
use their bayonets on the slightest riotous movement on the
part of the prisoners. Each of them was held by two gens-
darmes, and a strong party were stationed around. The pri-
soners were all condemned to death.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Last night Mr. Charles
Kean re-assumed the part of Hamlet, a part in which he has
frequently distinguished himself at this and other theatres.
The audience assembled on this occasion was numerous and
respectable, and Mr. Kean was greeted throughout his per-
formance with many marks of approbation, though, we con-
fess, we did not witness his enactment of the character with
unmixed gratification. He was eminently successful in the
scene in which the play is introduced, and where he is sup-
posed to detect the criminality of his uncle. In this scene
his silent as well as his enunciated acting was most effective,
and highly excited the sympathies of his audience. The
text of Shakspeare was somewhat curtailed in its represen-
tation last night; but this was judiciously effected. 'With
all due admiration of the genius of our great dramatic author,
we are disposed to think it possible so to improve the actual
representation of his plays by a well regulated abridgMent.
CONDUCT OF RUSSIA TOWARDS POLAND.—The
Paris Univers states that the report of the Commission of
Domains and Apanages, charged with the liquidation of the
mortgages upon the confiscated estates of the Polish emi-
grants, has made its report to the Emperor of Russia, up to
the end of last year. The Report makes the number of these
estates amount to 459, of which 228 are cleared of the
charges upon them. The debts acknowledged to be just
amount to 1,707,100 silver roubles (about 6,830,000 f.), and
those declared to be• illegal to 3,512,414 roubles (about
14,070,000 f.), which, consequently, are annulled. In these
last are comprised all mortgages made by the owners of
the estates during the insurrection. There still remain
to be paid off mortgages acknowledged to be legitimate
to the amount of 1,251,332 roubles (about 5,012,0000
so that, not only are the emigrants punished by
the confiscation of their c:lates, but their mortgagee
creditors are equally subjected to a confiscation of their
claims. The Univers goes on to say that a numerous class of
t.z..l,,Nrer order of nubility In Poland, who cultivated elTher
their own lands or:rented farms, has recently been reduced to
the condition of free peasants. As they had all shown a firm
attachment to the Roman Catholic faith, the Government
had decided upon removing them into other provinces.
During the last two years 5,000 have been torn from their
native soil, and colonised in the Governments of the Tauris
and Yekaterinoslaf, reduced to the same condition as the
vagabond gypsies, 8,000 of whom have in three years been
fixed as Crown peasants on the imperial domains. Further,
the Russian Government, says the Univers, is pursuing with
inexorable perseverance the destruction of the Catholic
church in all its western provinces. The Catholic clergy are
reduced to the most absolute dependence, by being deprived
of all means of subsistence beyond the meagre salaries granted
by the State, and every means is now employed to prevent
the renewal of this priesthood, in order, if possible, to drive
the Catholics into the national church."
SUSPECTED MURDER.—On Saturday last the body
of a decently-dressed, middle-aged man, name unknown,
was found on the road near Carronbridge, parish of Kilsyth,
who, there is strong reason to suspect, has been murdered,
from the fact that one of the eyes has been nearly knocked
out, and there are marks of violence about the neck and
throat.

RAILROADS IN FRANCE.—The Journal des 7'ra-
vaux Publiques gives the following as the answers of the
Commission appointed by the Minister of Public Works to
report on the best direction to be given to the intended rail-
road from Paris to the coast opposite England. To the first
question, whether there should be two lines, one from
Boulogne, joining the Belgian road at Amiens—the other
from Calais, joining the same line between Arras and
Lille—the answer was in the negative. To the question
—whether, in case of there being a line from Boulogne
to Amiens, there should be made simultaneously a
second line from Calais and Dunkirk to Lille, the opinion
was in the affirmative. On the third question—whether, in
case the Government should determine upon executing one
line only, that from Calais and Dunkirk to Arras should be
preferred, the opinion was in the affirmative. On the fourth
question—whether the line between Arras, and Calais and
Dunkirk, ought not to pass by Hazebrouck rather than by
Aire, the Commission again replied affirmatively. Thus, if
the Minister adopts this advice, the Paris and England Rail-
road, having the Belgian line at Arras, will run by Bethune
to Hazebrouck, the principal road continuing on by St.
Omer and Watten to Calais, while a branch will turn off to
Dunkirk.

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—An extraordinary and
very mysterious occurrence took place in the neighbourhood
of Ballyduff. A woman named Sheehy, a midwife or nurse,
residing in that neighbourhood, was forcibly taken from her
house by a party of men who blindfolded her, and placed her
on horseback behind one of the party. She was taken across
the Cashion Ferry in the direction of Liselton, and into a
house where she was told that in the bed-room was a female
who wanted her professional assistance ; in a short time the
female was confined, and she took the infant to the kitchen,
where she found a well-dressed woman waiting to receive it,
The woman was then taken as before and hoodwinked and
left at her own door, but did not receive any remuneration
from them. She said she saw some articles which she thought
belonged to a lady in the kitchen ; she was not allowed a bit
of light in the bed-room.—Kerry Examiner.

THE PERSECUTION OF THE RUSSIAN JEWS.—" Is
the Emperor Nicholas," exclaims the- Courrier Francais, " a
Christian Monarch. or the revival of the ancient tyrants of
Nineveh or Babylon ? With him persecution is a means of
government, and the transportation en masse of 30,000
families is a simple measure of administration. Ac-
cording to an ukase carried into execution about the 18th
of January, the entire Jewish population of 150,000 souls has
been transported from their residence in Lithuania to
within twelve leagues of the frontier, and delivered over to
the brutality of the police during the rigours of a northern
winter, without distinction of age, sex, or condition. Thus
willed the Salmanasar or the Nebuchadonosor of St. Peters-
burgh ! This atrocity is the result of the association of two
despotisms, of two barbarisms—imperial despotism and the
despotism of the protective system—Russian barbarity and
prohibitive barbarity. The Jewish population is suspected
of devoting itself to smuggling ; and instead of punishing
the guilty, the Czar found it „more convenient to chastise
the whole body of Israelites. It is not only against the
Jews of Lithuania that this system has been enforced by
Russia; the same measure is applied to all the Jews in the
neighbourhood of the Emperor's dominions. The Israelites
of Moldavia, over -which province Russia already reigns,
have been compelled to expatriate themselves. We need not
remark how much such an act savours of insanity. The
Emperor Nicholas, when he displays such severity is merely
a custom-house officer in a rage. Such is the result of the
omnipotence of the tariff, of the prohibition under the crown,
and of the protective system enforced by the Autocrat."
