a balmy, odoriferous. creamy liqu'd, composed chiefly of extracts
'rem the most rare flowers and herbs of an Eastern clime, and per-

BERLIN.—At the Royal Deaf and Dumb Institu-
tion (83, Linien-strasse) the instruction of idiots by intel-
lectual means has succeeded. The problem, theoreti-
cally and practically, has been solved by the director, M.
Saegert, in conjunction with M. Lacks, first teacher of
the establishment ; and this solution has been scientifi-
cally proved and acknowledged by our eminent physi-
cians, Dr. Barey and Dr. Joseph Muller. The affair is
now, as one perceives, officially investigated by the pro-
per authorities, in order to form a section with the Deaf
and Dumb Institution for idiots, and thus to further
prosecute the discovery in the interest of science and
humanity. The active participation and furtherance in
such endeavours on the part of the Committee of In-
struction permit us to anticipate the most favourable re-
sults.—German paper.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS,

" I am highly satisfied with your Gold and Lacquer Detergents.
I hope to recommend them to some of my friends, as they answer so
well, especially the Gold Detergent."—From the Right Hon. C. D'Eyn-
eourt,
" We first tried the Gold Detergent on a costly looking-glass frame
that had been a few years gilt. It removed the whole of the fly spots,
the dust, and stains, and the frame has now the appearance and bril-
liancy of the day it left the workman's hands. Next on two very old
frames—from their colour we were almost in doubt whether they
were gilded or not. The Detergent soon convinced us of the fact, by
removing the accumulated stains and tarnish of many years ; these
frames have now the appearance of being nearly new."—Liverpool
Chronicle, Jan. 27, 1844.
"We have tried the Gold Detergent upon several old picture
frames, and must confess we were very agreeably surprised at the
result for it restores the splendour of gilding with very little trouble.
A single bottle is more than sufficient for all the picture and looking-
glass frames in a moderate-sized house."—Vide Nottingham Review,

'DISCIPLES OF JACK SIIEFFARD.—On Thursday
last there were five boys in custody at Tarporley, charged
with felony at Northwich, who, when asked their names, &c..
answered as follows :—" I am Jack Sheppard, and am 11
years old ;" " I am Dick Turpin," said another, aged 13
years ; " and this is Jonathan Wild," pointing to a companion
14 years old ; the two others gave the names of " Tom
King," and " Sugar." Jack Sheppard, whose real name is
Nathaniel Shaw, was called "Captain Sheppard" by his
corn-rogues, owing to his having been more frequently con-
victed than any of the band. The boys are well known in
Macclesfield as notorious thieves, though of so tender years.
They were met by a police-constable between Northwich
and Delamere-forest, who, from their suspicious appearance,
stopped and searched them, when he found the produce of a
robbery effected at Mr. Hall's, bookseller, Northwich, upon
the persons of the prisoners. They were committed for trial
at the present sessions.—Chester Courant.

APPEAL IN CRIMINAL CASES.

Mr. KELLY rose pursuant to notice to ask for leave
to bring in a Bill to provide an appeal in criminal
cases. It was almost incredible that while in
every case of a civil character, no matter whether the
question involved a large or a small amount of
money, the law as it stood at present gave an
appeal. A person who felt himself aggrieved
either by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge,
could appeal from that verdict or that decision, and
carry the case even before the highest tribunal
of the land:• But in. a criminal case, which
must involve a question .of character, property, or
even life, there was no appeal, wording to the law of
England, against the verdict of the jury, however erro-
neous, or the decision of the judge, however mistaken.

THE CASE OF LEANDER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—ln consequence of remarks which appeared in your
papers of Monday, yesterday, and this day, headed " Lean-
der and his Jaw," I hope that, in justification of my con-
duct and in justice to my feelings, you will insert the follow-
ing plain statement of facts, which will, I trust, entirely
exonerate me in the minds of all honourable men, whose
good opinion alone I covet, and to the truth of which state-
ment I am willing to be sworn :—During the Goodwood
race week of 1842 the Messrs. Lichtwald sent three horses to
my stables to be broken in and trained, with their pedigrees
written and signed by themselves ; they were the following,
viz., br. f. by Muley Moloch, out of Barbara, since named
Julia ; ab. c. by Scamander, out of sister to Mussulman,
since named Leander; and a b. e. by Velocipede, out of Fair
Jane ; accordingly they were broken in, and in due time
commenced their training. Owing to my being detained in
town during the early part of the winter by ill health, I did
not see the horses until the end of December following, when
I pronounced the Scamander colt to possess the appearance
and points of a racehorse. He had an engagement at Ascot,
for which he was prepared, and which he won. Some obser-
vations were made on the race-course about his being a very
big horse, and looking more like a 3 or even a 4-year old
than a 2-year old, and some short time afterwards Messrs.
Lichtwald went down to Mitchell-grove, and my

we might find it as difficult to get rid of him as 61
Mr. Entwisle. We have placed free trade principles
on a firm basis in South Lancashire.—(Cheers.) eve
have done a good deal in boroughs, but there never.
has been a county election in this country in which
the total, immediate, and unqualified repeal of 11.,-
monopolies was made the test. In this first county
election we were placed in unfortunate circumstances.:
The opposition had the combined power of all the
landed interest in the county, and yet it was only.
yesterday morning that the advocate of monopaly
trembled in his shoes at the prospect df the majorlq,
he had, on the previous day been diminished, if tr,"
destroyed. The monopolists make a fine chuckle an°,
glorification, because out of 14,000 voters, 4,000
whom were mere serfs, we had not obtained the WO:
rity. But whatever exertions they make at the Bel'
election they will-prove unavailing before the progress
of enlightened, independent, and honest principles;
(The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst thunders 431
applause.)
Earl num said he had to announce to the
meeting that he had received a communication fool
Mr. Milner Gibson, intimating that circumstances over
which he had no control prevented his being in WO,
and attending at the League this evening. It P
..1011
became his duty to state that this meeting st°u"
adjourned to this day week. When he was address'
ing the meeting in the early part of the evenings he
was afraid that lie had spoken too diffusely, upon
dry and almost threadbare subject—(Cries of "
no.")—and there was one statement which he did not
read, and for not doing so it was possible that be
might be called to account ; but he abstained fivel'
reading this document merely on account of its sheer
absurdity, and because he should account himself
fool if he placed any faith in it.—(Cheers.)
Mr. COBDEN then rose, and, amidst enthusiastic
applause, proposed " Three cheers for the best prse:
tical farmer in England—the Earl Ducie." I.t 11/
needless to say that this was responded to with eel/
emanation of heart and of due appreciation of the high
merits and total forgetfulness of the prejudices t?'
caste which induced the Noble Earl to join in We,
struggle for buying in the .cbeapest market an
selling in the dearest.
The meeting then separated with the utmost order
and decorum.

SUGAR.—To .day the trade were desirous to purchase
West India Sugar, but the scanty show operated materially
against business ; many of the brokers had not a board to
offer for sale. The total purchases for the week are 1,320
hhds and trcs, and prices closed 13 per cwt above those of last
Friday ; the market has a very firm appearance.
REFLNED.—To-dav, Refined goods were much wanted by
the home trade, but the supply was inadequate for the de-
mand ; brown Lumps are 80s, and standard Lumps 81s 6d to
82s per cwt.
ALtunrnus.—A good demand has been experienced from
the grocers for all sorts, and refiners have been purchasers to
a fair extent; good and fine yellow and grey qualities
brought previous rates; but inferior and brown kinds have
advanced 6d per cwt. This afternoon, 500 bags at auction
were sold at full rates; middling yellow at 62s 6d to 635,
grey 60s 6d to 62s 6d, and good brown 58s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with
little attention, and 1,495 bags at public sale sold at prices
that exhibited a decline on those of last Friday of is per

RECENT TESTIMONIALS.

" I am highly satisfied with your Gold and Lacquer Detergents.
I hope to recommend them to some of my friends, as they answer so
well, especially the Gold Detergent."—From the Right Hon. C. D'Eyn
court, M.P.

. _
" We first tried the Gold Detergent on a costly looking-glass frame
that had been a few years gilt. It removed the whole of the fly spots,
the dust, and stains, and the frame has now the appearance and bril-
liancy of the day it left the workman's hands. Next on two very old
frames—from their colour we were almost in doubt whether they
were gilded or not. The Detergent soon convinced us of the fact, by
removing the accumulated stains and tarnish of many years ; these
trainee have now the appearance of being nearly new."—Liverpool
Chronicle, Jan. 27, 1844.
"We have tried the Gold Detergent upon several old picture
frames, and must confess we were very agreeably surprised at the
result for it restores the splendour •f gilding with very little trouble.
A single bottle is more than sufficient for all the picture and looking-
glass frames in a moderate-sized house."—Vide Nottingham Review,
April 5, 1844.

A SUPPLEMENT will be annexed to a limited number of the
stamped copies of CAPTAIN PIDDING'S CIIINESE OLIO and TEA
TALK, whenever a Tea Sale takes placc., containing "Captain Pid-
ding's Characters" of each break or chop put up—the prices realised,
and other particulars, valuable as guides to dealers in selecting Teas ;
but this Supplement will be furnished to none but Agents of Captain
ridding, or purchasers of Tea through him. A Subscription for the
year of 10s., paid in advance to Captain ridding direct,:will entitle
the subscriber to a stamped copy of the Paper weekly, and Supple-
ment when published, by post.
The SUPPEMENT of the present Number contains, besides other
information, an exact Account of the Cost in China of every descrip-
tion of Tea imported into England. This valuable information has
never before been obtainable in this country; and through it and
other matter given, the dealer will see—not only what price the
merchants get, but what they ought to get, and may ultimately, per-
haps, through this publication, he made to accept for their Teas.

MECHI'S SUPERB TEA-TRAYS, in papier
mache, Manufactory, 4, Leadenh all.street, London, are un.
rivalled specimens of japanned work, infinitely surpassing the
Chinese. The prices vary from a very low figure up to 20 guineas
the set. They comprise some brilliant specimens 44' art in figures,
landscapes, flowers, and birds, with buhl and gold. The same manu-
facture is applied in work-boxes, dressing.cases, envelope cases,
netting boxes, glove boxes, playing-card boxes, and ladies' visiting.
card cases; hand screens, pole screens, card rack, inkstands, ladies'
work tables, chess tables, portfolios, note and cake baskets, ladies'
desks, letter boxes, &c. The foregoing are all in papier mache, and
very cheip, say from 13s. up to I'o/ ; and Mechi can confidently
assert that his establishment, for these articles, surpasses in price,
quality, and extent of stock, any similar concern in the United King.
dom. Mechi is sole inventor of the Mechian dressing.cases, the
patent castellated tooth-brushes, Pd. each, the cushioned bagatelle
tables, the magic razor-strop, and peculiar steel razor. A visit to
his establishment will gratify those who are desirous of seeing the
most perfect manufactures of this country displayed in the most
attractive form.

BAIL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE heard several 'notions this morn-

of public interest. His Lordship also sat at Nisi Prius for a
short time, but the causes were all undefended and unim-
portant.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY).

OLD COURT:

This day the session of over and terminer commenced,
before the Recorder, the Lord Mayor, and a bench of Alder-
men, at the Old Bailey, being the 115th (and 7th during the
present Mayoralty).
The calendar is comparatively light, consisting of only
174 names, of which two stood charged with murder, one
with arson, five with cutting and wounding, with intent to
murder or maim, and one with forgery. The proportion of
the prisoner s to the respective metropolitan districts are as
follows ;—London prisoners, 21; Middlesex, 131 ; Kent, 7 ;
and Surrey, 15.
The RECORDER, in addressing the grand jury, previous to
their retiring to their room' observed that the- present ca-
lendar was one only marked by those ordinary features which
might be Impacted from the dense population of a large me-
tropolis like London, and did not call for any peculiar ob-
servations from him. The names of two prisoners appeared
in the present calendar as charged with murder, whilst one
case of infanticide remained over from the last session. Ile
did not consider it necessary to detain the gentlemen of the
grand jury with any remarks upon those cases, but would re-
mit them to the discharge of their duties.
The remainder of the day up to the period of our going to
press was occupied with swearing in the petty juries, after
which the Court adjourned for refreshment.
