RELIEF FOR INFANTS IN CUTTING THEIR TEETH.
MRS..IOIINSOYS AMERICAN SOOTHING
SYRUP. This efficacious Remedy has been in general use
for upwards of Thirty Years, and has preserved numerous Children
iv hen sufttr.ng from Convulsions arising from painful Dentition. As
soon as the Sytup is rubbed on the Gums, the Child will be relieved,
the Gums cooled, and the inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as
efficacious, tending to produce the 'I eeth with ease ; and so pleasant,
that no Child will refuse to let its Gums be rubbed with it. Parents
should be vet', particular to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN
SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that the names of Barclay and
Sons, 95, Farringdon-strcet, London (to whom Mrs. Johnson has sold
the recipe), arc on the Stamp affixed to ach Bottle. Price 2s. Vd. per

LONDON, SAT UI; DAY, JAN UARY 6, 1844.

THE. REVENUE FOR THE YEAR.
AND THIS QUARTER ENDING JAN. 5, 1844.
The income-tax now tells with effect. While
for several years previous to this impost, there
was a deficiency ot between 2,000,000/. and
3,000,0001., the returns for 1844 show a total in-
crease of 5,742,0781., of which the income-tax
forms nearly the total amount, being not less
than 5,240,260/.; thus leaving a surplus over
ordinary years of 492,818/. But this sum,
though small, is a good omen, when we take
into account the reduction of establishments and
the curtailment of expenditure caused by the
new tax. It shows that the trade of the country '
is improving, and we are happy to find that under
the two great heads Of revenue, the Customs
and the Excise—the best tests of prosperity—
the increase is very remarkable. In the former,
the Customs, there is a decrease on the year of
2,0911., but there is an increase oft the quarter of
not less than 552,879/. This at the same time
shows how the public have been robbed by the
plundering and audacious tricks of !sten well
paid for performing their duty, and how negli-
gent, to use a mild phrase, have been those
gentlemen called Coannissioners ot the Board
of Customs. It gives a proportionate increase
on the year of *awe than '2,000,000/., while the in-
crease on tithe Excite for the same period has been
only 387,54., and, if we judge by the quarter,
not more than 31,,0001.' the increase being
only 8,763/. The Stamps have fallen otr, show-

ncrease on the year, exclusive of property-
tax

£1,063,974

Thus, exclusive of the Property-tax, nay,
despite of its reflex operation, which the oppo-
nents of the measure threatened to be so injuri-
ous to other sources of revenue—exclusive of the
Property-tax, and, in spite of all the mischief
it was to do—the ordinary sources of revenue
are more productive in 1843 than they were in
1842, by one million sterling and upwards.
Even this, however, is an inadequate view of the
national progress. On the face of the returns
betbre us, there appears we must admit a decrease,
though a trifling one, in the Customs of last
year. From the statement it is seen that the
great excess of revenue in 1842 arises upon the
October quarter of that year—an excess,
altogether attributable to the prodigious mass
of foreign corn imported or taken out of bond at
the Bs. duty in the months of August and Sep-
tember, rated, if we mistake not, at three mil-
lions of quarters. Such revenue is an index of
loss and not of gain, as for every shilling gained
by the Exchequer the former must have lost
at least three, and lost the money never to
return to this country. Upon the same prin-
ciple upon which, in order to arrive at a
fair comparative view of the revenue of the two
years, we have struck out the Property-tax for
both years, we ought to strike out the corn
duties, which made up so large a part of last
year's revenue, and have produced little or
nothing in the present year. If we had the
figures enabling us to do this, there is no
reason to doubt that the actual increase of
the ordinary fixed sources of revenue, instead
of resting, happily high, as it does above
one million sterling, would closely approach
to two millions. Such, at least, is appa-
rently the just inference from the Fact, that upon
a comparison of the concluding quarters of the
two years, in neither of which quarters did the
corn duties sensibly operate, the last quarter
presents an increase of more than half a mil-
lion. As to the other trifling deficiencies, they
can be all as easily explained, while they, whose
business it is to find fault, will be somewhat at a
loss to explain away one shilling of the noble
increase of more than one million sterling,
wholly exclusive of the property-tax.

DRAMATIC TELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.—The Old Theatre Royal, Liverpool,
still keeps up its powerful attraction. The houses are literally
crowded to suffocation. Mr. Webster, of the Haymarket, has
been performing here during the week, with Madame Celeste,
in the popular dramas of Victor and Hortense and The Pretty
Girls of Slilberg, and both have been applauded to the echo.
Indeed, the interest excited was intense. The theatre has
been open but seven nights, and nearly 18,000 persons have
paid to enter it. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam appear next
week in a new operatic drama, adapted and partly re-written
from Donizetti's Opera of La I ilia du Regiment, as Mr.
Webster returns to London to superintend the revival of The
Merry Wires of Windsor, at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket,
on Tuesday night, in which Madame Vestris and Mrs. Nisbett
will enact the Merry Wives.

quis of Westminster has sent a very complimentary letter to
the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League, accompanied by the
munificent subscription of 5001., in aid of the Great League
Fund. if this should be true, it will be another very
" great fact" for the Times, falling like a thunderbolt amongst
the monopolists, who plead the absolute necessity of a
continuance of the corn-laws, as a means of providing for their
mortgages and marriage settlements. The Noble Marquis is
one of the greatest landowners, and most opulent noblemen
in the kingdom, and so munificent and practical a protest
against the iniquitous corn-laws, as that which he is reported
to have made, would, in conjunction with those of Earl
Spencer, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Ducie, and other distinguished
Peers and agriculturists, be the death-knell of monopoly.__

DRAMATIC INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.—The Old Theatre Royal, Liverpool,
still keeps up its powerful attraction. The houses are literally
crowded to suffocation. Mr. Webster, of the Haymarket, has
been performing here during the week, with Madame Celeste,
in the popular dramas of Victor and Hortense and The Pretty
Girls of Stilberg, and both have been applauded to the echo.
Indeed, the interest excited was intense. The theatre has
been open but seven nights, and nearly 18,003 persons have
paid to enter it. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam appear next
week in a new operatic drama, adapted and partly re-written
from Donizetti's Opera of La F ille du Regiment, as Mr.
Webster returns to London to superintend the revival of The
Merry Wives of Windsor, at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket,
on Tuesday night, in which Madame Vestris and Mrs. Nisbett
11 will enact the Merry Wives.

THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER AND THE

ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.

We hare just heard a rumour, to the effect that the Mar-
quis of Westminster has sent a very complimentary letter to

LAW AND

POLICE.

At the Chester assizes Samuel Maddock, 53, tailor, was
charged with the wilful murder of Matthias Bailey, game-
keeper to George Wilbraham, Esq., of Dclamere [louse, on
the 28th day of July, at Crowton. The jury found him Not
Guilty.
George Fox, aged 35, was charged at the same assizes with
the wilful murder of his wife, Charlotte Fox, at Stockport, on
the Ist of December last. The jury found him guilty of man-
slaughter, and the Learned Judge sentenced him to two years'
hard labour.

William Christey, a Custom-house agent, was brought before
the Lord Mayor by Inspector Waller, upon a warrant, charged
with having been concerned in frauds committed at the Cus-
tom. house. The prosecution is instituted by the Board of
Customs, and he is charged with returning a smaller amount
of sugar than that chargeable on certain goods imported. He
was released on giving heavy bail to appear and take his trial
at the Central Criminal Court..

James Bovington, aged 29, and William Andrews, two re-
spectable-looking mechanics, were indicted at the Surrey ses-
sions for feloniously stealing on the 23d of December last, 128
pounds of brass, fixed in a mill or building, the property of the
Right Hon. Beaumont Lord Hotham and Sir George Henry
Frederick Berkeley, K.C.B. They were found guilty, but
their counsel moved an arrest of judgment, on the ground that
one of the parties in the indictment was wrongly described.
The case will be argued on the first day of term before the
judges at Westminster.
A summons having been applied for and obtained at Marl-
borough-street against the coachman of Count Pollen, the
Sardinian Minister, for refusing to pay the reward adjudged to
the firemen who attended to extinguish a fire which occurred
at the Sardinian Minister's stables, the sitting magistrate re-
ceived a note from his Excellency, stating that the defendant
was his servant, and that he pleaded his privilege as an Am-
bassador to protect him from any process, the demand being an
unjust one. The summons was therefore cancelled.

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.--If the direct
written testimony in favour of the purity and perfection
of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, given, after analysis, by
three of the most eminent Chemists of the day, needed any con-
firmation, it will be found in the fact, that it is employed, in
preference to Foreign Brandy, under high medical direction, in
many of the principal Hospitals, Infirmaries, and other Public
Institutions in the Kingdom ; among which it may suffice to
name Guy's, St. George's, and the Westminster Hospitals in
the Metropolis ; and the Manchester, Bristol, and Brighton In-

Cronin, who was found:drowned near Merchant's Quay, Cork,
have returned the following verdict :—" We find that the de-
ceased was accidentally drowned in the river Lee on last night,
and, from the evidence, we find he was subject to vertigo and
occasional loss of sight, having a tendency to aporlexy, which
we believe may have led to the melancholy event."

CHRONICLES OF THE BASTILE.
We believe that this work is derived from
Fret ch sources, but it is not the less one that
will be read with considerable interest in Eno.
land, where the Bastile was, while it eiiste
considered the accursed engine of tyranny ani.
despotism, and where, on its destruction, iir
general feeling. of joy was excited (even t
gentle Cowper was moved) at the thought that
"its towers had When at last." It is here irr-
tended to shadow tOrth something of the secret
history of this terrible dungeon, time grave of se
many captives, who in its cells were dead to
the world, though keenly alive to all the worn
miseries of life. In such a " Chronicle" there
must necessarily be a large mixture of fiction
with fact; but the wildest imagination cgta
hardly surpass in strangeness sortie of the events
with which the Bastile is connected. The tales
are represented as being given from a manu-
script kept by a mysterious old man, known as
" The Old man of time Bastile ;" and the series
commences with a story called " The -.her-
t:thdiere." Robin Cruikshank has illustrated
the part with two good engravings on steel:

his is the commencement of an illustrated
work of a superior kind ; it will contain' fine
engravings of " views in all countries, portraits of
great men, and specimens of works of art of all
ages and of every character." The plates given
in the first Part are three in numbar—" Whalen"
attacked by Bears, on the Ice," by A. 11. Payne,
after Biard; a View of Terni, by the same en-
graver; and the " Ave Maria," which, in its
large form, is so popular at present, it' we may
judge from the frequency with which it appetkcs
in the stuck of the best printsellers. This, and
the first•nained plate, are, we think, the best.
