LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1844,

The present aspect of political affairs is one calcu
lated to excite profound solicitude among all the
friends of peace and civilisation. They who are least
susceptible to impressions of anxiety, arising out of
the contemplation of distant objects,—of contingencies
rather to be regarded as possible than provided
against as probable,•—must admit that there are some
untoward features in our foreign relations, of which
it is impossible to reconcile the expression with the
consciousness of security, or the permanency of repose.
Any ruFture between France and England is to be
regarded—(now, more 86- than ever)—as a casualty
which the great interests-of society, and the cause of
humanity and civilisation throughout the world,
should conspire to deprecate. On the issue of peace
or war are staked, to an almost inconceivable extent,
the happiness of the present generation, and the, pros-
pects of posterity, tbr many years to come. The
progress of events in this particular, guided by the
finger of Providence itself, has made these two great
nations the depositories of and destinies, for the
faithful stewardship of which existing Governments
will be held responsible by yet unborn ages. Never-
theless, fearful as the weight of this responsibility is,'
it is a burden to which the hard condition of all
statesmen who live under political institutions as they
are, should teach them incessantly their liability. Let
us hope that the habit of constant reflection upon such
liability may produce a salutary effect upon those
who are et the head of public affairs on
either side of the Channel, and 'effectually indispose,
them to committing the two foremost nations of the
world to the alternative of hostilities, whilst any
middle course remains open for the adjustment of
political differences which can be appealed to with
honour. On our own side, however,
of
this lastnamed
condition is indispensible toany mode approachingy
b such differences which may be adopted our GO-
vernment. 'We cannot afford the suspicion' even, of
any indirect or unworthy motive in seeking to avoid
collisions that may have been challenged by the pre-
sumption, orincapacity, or folly of the officers and
servants of any other Power. In reference to the
turn e,hich affairs are taking in the Pacific, in the
Me.iiierranean, in the Gulf of Mexico, and elsewhere,
vc e cannot conceal from ourselves that a spiritof aggres-
sion and hostility has developed itself, on various
occasions, to an extent which renders it the most
solemn and imperative of all the duties on the Go-
vernment of England to- be prepared, if necessary, for
the instant and most signal vindication of the honour
of its flag, and our hereditary supremacy upon the
seas. There is yet one possible misfortune greater
than the deplorable calamity of a war between France
and England, and that would be, that England
*should forget to exact from France, whenever occa-
sion 611;4 unhappily have arisen to justify such a de-
mind, the most unequivocal satisfaction and- Mara-

TALLOW 212.0.1tHET.

The demand throughout the past week has been better
than for several weeks, and the price is somewhat firmer.
By letters received from St. Petersburgh up to the 7th
inst., we learn that the shipments up to that t►me were
25,500 casks, against 33,000 in 1843; of which had been
dispatched to London 3,330, against 8,511 casks. The
price was firm, but not much business doing. Town

retr cgradation has already commenced, and
nom x nenced with the missionaries themselves ?
lif 3 e truth be, as we fear it is, that the moral
stat, > of these new acquisitions to the king-
don I of truth already declines, must not we
con el ude that in foreign missions, as in home
teach ing, the voluntary system is radically vicious ?"
" T ere is," as a good man said, " a little
Pope in the heart of every one of us." We all
wish for power ; we all wish that other men
should adopt our views in religion, as in every-
thi: la else ; give us power, however, and though
we rnay first use it for the good of others, we will
soo '1 apply it to our own profit, and to the se-
cui 13 preservation of the so profitable power. The
pritn.ciple of Popery in this respect is universal,
an I. in the relation between intelligent, and there-
fovo powerful, missionaries and ignorant con-
ve.ri's, it has full sway. The All-wise has not, how-
ever, left his own service withbut a protection from
th'il 3 danger : that protection is " civil government :"
-civil government which forestalls the tempt-
in3 lure, temporal power, that has led so
m any religious teachers into mortal error—
leirving the ministers of religion to their sacred
of Ewe, and preparing a people upon whom that office
' mny be most effectually exercised. Might not the
pr inciple of a civil control and a civil support be ap-
pl !fed with the best effect to missions among the
he kthen ? The subject is intricate, but the end is O-
jai portant.

Eilward Maylett was indicted for the manslaughter
of T't ►omas O'Donnell at Manchester, on the 23d of
July f last.
11 fc. Monk conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Will oins the defence.

It appeared that the prisoner was a boatman on the
Roe: b dale canal, and on the morning of the 23d of
Jule last, was conducting a boat to the Piccadilly-
wha- in Manchester. The boat was in the empty
lock,, and the prisoner had raised the sluice for the
purpc 'se of letting the water in. The deceased, who
was a boy, had been bathing, and on coming out of
the vf ater was crossing the lock-gates, at the end of
whic I i the prisoner was standing, for the purpose of
gett. iaig his clothes, which were on the other side.
The prisoner, as if in sport, caught at him as he
pass« A, and the poor boy slipped into the full lock,
and ovas drawn down by the current, and did not rise
againt. For awhile the prisoner seemed stupified, but
some boys shouting that he had murdered the lad, he
jumped into the boat, and began searching for the
body• with the boat-hook. Not finding it, he closed
the s etuice and let the water out, when he succeeded
in g( rtting the body out, after it had been submerged
about ten minutes, but life was quite extinct.
Wrialuis addressed the jury, who returned a
verd jet of Not Guilty.

HAYM.ARKET THEATRE.

The Milliner's Holiday is the title of a most laugh-
able farce which was produced at this theatre on Satur-
day, with unequivocal success. It is by the author of
the Double-bedded Room, and is full of fun. Incidents,
iituations, dialogue, all are overflowing with humour, and
from beginning to end the audience were in roar.
Fanny Thompson (Miss Julia Bennett), a ci-devant mil-
liner's apprentice, has won the heart of Lieutenant how-
ling, R.N. (Mr. H. Hull), who has placed her under the
guardianship of old Pennywig (Strickland),'in a cottage
Li:short distance from town, with strict orders that she is
to hold no communication with her former companions.
One of these, Kitty Caraway, has been deserted by her •
lover, Simon Sparks (Buckstone), to whom, at Fanny's •
intercession, Pennywig writes a letter desiring him to
meet a lady at the cottage. Sparks, not aware of the interest
Fanny takes in Kitty's happiness, has the vanity to
imagine that Fanny IS in love with him herself, and ac-
cordingly goes to the cottage full of self-conceit ; he is
met by the Lieutenant, who, full of wrath, threater.s to
murder the intruder, and to increase the cmbroglio the
whole of the milliner's apprentices, who are out for a
holiday, urrive, and, being refused admittance, break
into the cottage vi et amis. At the conclusion matters
were all explained, and the Lieutenant and Fanny, and
Sparks and Kitty respectively, pair off. The piece was
innouuced for repetition every evening, by Buckstone,
;midst much applause. The farce was preceded by 'the
prize comedy, Quid pro Quo, which still continues
to run a career of uninterrupted success. Ttc *.;oulutty
4asheen judiciously curtailled ; the events which bring
about the denouement are brought more closely together,
.40 as to make it as a whole more compact, and it is tiow:
an exceedingly pleasant, lively, bustling acting comedy,..
►nd bid; fair to run a very successful career. 'The house.:
vas crowded.

FETE CFIA3II-:ETRE.
A fete champetre and fancy fair was held on Saturday
in Col. Miles's Grounds, Regent's-park, in aid of the funds
of the Royal Dispensary for the Diseases of the Ear. The
day was lovely, just the sort of day for for an nut-door fete,
.ind the grounds were crowded with the elite of- thki
fashionable world. Tents and marquees were pitched in
the grounds, and fitted up with counters, behind which
stood-,the fair stall keepers, who for bouquets of choice
flowers, portfolios of prints, pincushions, worsted work,
&c., obtained prices which could not but have been
highly profitable to the institution. The portico in front
,)f the house was elegantly fitted up as an orchestra, in
which a concert was performed. The folloWing is the
programme of the concert, which was conducted by M.
Benedict, and commenced at two o'clock

DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 27.—The Session of the States-
General was closed yesterday by his Excellency the Mi-
nister of the Interior, who addressed the Chambers in
the following terms :
" Noble and Mighty Lords,—The session which is
about to close has produced a happy change in the pro-
vinces of the kingdom.
" The consequences of the disastrous events which oc-
curred in the last year gave reason to entertain the most
serious apprehensions for the financial interests of the
kingdom.
" But the perfect understanding that has prevailed
between the Government and the Chambers, when it was
necessary to agree on salutary measures, and, on the other
hand, the exemplary co-operation of the nation in car-
rying them into execution, have opened to the country
a cheering prospect.
" The budget which has been recently adopted, the
savings which have been made in the funds which were
disposable for the last year, and the suppression of a
considerable number of special funds, arc so many facts
which bear witness to the zeal of the Government, not
only in providing for the regular course of the affairs
of the country, but also for the effectual improvement of
its permanent interest.
" The settlement of our financial interests has, however,
required so much time, that it has not been possible to
lay before you other important subjects of legislation.
It has been necessary to confine ourselve to some special
projects of law, most of which have met with your
approbation.
"Important matters are, therefore, reserved for you
next session, besides others emanating from Art 6 of the
Fundamental Law, and those on the tariff of import, ex-
port, and transit duties.
"If the spirit of concord continues to prevail in the
energetic efforts which we desire to make, in order to
promote the interest of the country, we may hope for the
most favourable result. In the name of the King, I de-
clare the present session of the States General to be
closed."

to the disposal of the first instalment of the capital sum

IaURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, 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. anti Son, submit the following
cautions:—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.

GRAY V. THE QUEEN.

This case came before their Lordships upon a writ of error
from a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland,
by which the petitioner, Samuel Gray, was sentenced to
transportation for life for firing at and killing a person named
Owen Murphy. The principal, and indeed the only question
in the case, was whether a party indicted for an offence
not punishable with death, has the right of peremptorily
challenging any of the jury :—Samuel Gray, the petitioner in
error, was indicted at the Lent Assizes is 1842, for the
county of Monaghan, for having committed a felony in firing
at and billing Owen Murphy. The charge was founded, and
the indictment framed, upon the stature Ist Victoria, cap. 85,
section 3. Gray. having pleaded not guilty, the trial pro-
ceeded at the Assizes until, in consequence of the illness of one
of the jurors, they were obliged to be discharged without
giving a verdict. At the Summer Assizes, in the same year,
the trial was again brought on ; but the jury not agreeing in
their verdict, were discharged. A similar occurrence took
place at the Lent Assizes in 1843. The proceedings were then
removed by the Crown to the Court of Queen's Bench, and
in Easter Term, 1843, Gray was required to plead to the
indictment in that Court. Upon this Gray pleaded that he
bad been tried for feloniously shooting at Owen Murphy and
acquitted. To this plea the Attorney-General [demurred,
and Gray having joined in the demurrer, it was argued, and
the demurrer was allowed, and Gray was ordered to answer
over to the felony charged in the indictment. Gray pleaded
again " Not guilty" and the case was ordered to be tried at
the Summer Assizes for Monaghan. On the case being
called on, and during the empanelling of the jury, Gray
peremptorily challenged two of them, but that
challenge was disallowed, on the ground that it had been the
practice in Ireland not to allow a peremptory challenge in
any case of felony not punishable with death. The trial
then proceeded, and the petitioner Gray was found guilty
and sentenced to transportation 'for life. Mr. Justice Perrin
declared his opinion, and gave his judgment that the chal-
lenge might to have been allowed, and that the judgment on
the verdict ought to have been arrested, and a venire de novo
awarded; but the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Burton,
end Mr. Justice Crampton were of a different opinion. Under
these circumstances Gray brought the writ of error that now
came on for argument.
Mr. NAPIER and Mr. DAWSON appeared for the petitioner
in error, and contended that the sentence ought to be set
aside, on the ground of the challenge of the jury by the pe-
titioner being refused, and because the incidents of the de-
fence and trial of all felonies were the same, and the right of
peremptory challenge appertained to the trial of felonv, as a
specific class of crime, and had, therefore, been uniformly
allowed in'England on the trial of felonies not punishable
with death, as well as capital felonies.
The .Attorney-General for Ireland and Mr. Waddington
appeared on behalf of the Crown.
The arguments were proceeding when we went to press.

made by private contract),
A RENT CHARGE, in lieu of the Great Tithes of the
parish of Bulmer, in the county of Essex, extending over
1,776 acres, which. have been commuted under the Tithe Commu.
tation Act at 5001 per annum. This Rent Charge is subject to the
payment of the parochial rates, which are low ; and a payment
in cern and straw to the vicar, which, upon an average of the
last seven years, amounts to about 361. per annum. The
commutation and apportionment have been confirmed by the Com-
missioners, and the amount receivable thereof for the year 18-14
is 5201. I6s. 10d., the first half.yearly payment of which has just
been received. The collection is exceedingly easy, being confined
to about twenty proprietors or occupiers; and the amounts payable
by the great majority of them are large. It is scarcely necessary
to call the attention of capitalists to the perfect security of such an
investment, it being a first charge upon land many times its valve
per annum, and free from the heavy deductions for repairs, under_
'draining, and a „variety of other incidental expenses attendant
upon landed estates...
