Thus we perceive that the man with 100,0001.
per annum pays seven per cent. to the public
revenue, while the labourer, such as William
Gladstone, pays fifty per cent. If the injustice
stopped here, it would be sufficiently infamous ;
but the crime against industry is as yet only half
disclosed. The landowner, by virtue of the corn-
laws, compensates himself for the seven per cent. he
pays to the State. He does much more, as we proceed
to show. We are again indebted to Mr. Macintyre
for the following deeply interesting facts.
In the British Islands there are 46,522,000 culti-
vated acres. If the corn-tax only amounted to twenty
millions annually, this would increase the rent of
those lands Bs. Bd. per acre. The rental of this sur-
face of soil is computed at 75,000,0001. If the bonus,
through the corn-laws, be taken at the low estimate

MAW AND POZWII.

At Nottingham, on Monday, Robert Lightfoot, the
station-master at Nottingham, was arraigned on the
Coroner's inquisition, for manslaughter, in causing the
death of John Dean, on the 21st November. He pleaded
not guilty.
The same prisoner, together with Raven, the Beeston
station-master, was then arraigned on the Coroner's in-
quisition, for the death of James Bolestridge. The bill
had been thrown out by the grand jury on Saturday.
The counsel for the prosecution having intimated that he
did not consider there was evidence to support the
charge of manslaughter, the charge of course was
abandoned, and the parties immediately left the dock.
In the Court of Exchequer, a widow of the name of
Boyle, brought an action in firma pauperis to recover
damages for the loss of services of her daughter, alleged
to have been occasioned by her seduction by Mr. Brandon,
cashier at the Atlas Fire and Life Insurance-office, King-
street, Cheapside. The jury, in a short time, returned a
verdict for the defendant.

At the New Court, Old Bailey, Joseph Smith, aged 11,
was indicted for stealing 123 farthings and other coins,
the property of Mr. Collyer, his master. He pleaded
guilty, and the Court respited its judgment.
Cornelius Sweeney, aged 18, was indicted for feloni-
ously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of
Richard Percival, on the 27th of November last, and
stealing therein sundry spoons and other articles of
plate, &c., his property. The jary found the prisoner
guilty of stealing, but not of breaking and entering.
Witnesses were then called and documents put in to
prove a previous conviction in Surrey, when the prisoner
was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. Mr. Com-
missioner Bullock now adjudged him to be transported
beyond the seas fur seven years.
At Lambeth-street, the four men, Sandford, Priestley,
Robinson, and Saunders, who had been in custody for
several days, on a charge of stealing two bottles of
quicksilver, of the value of 40/., and substituting two
duramies filled with lead in their stead, were brought be-
fore Mr. Henry, for final examination. The evidence of
the witnesses, fourteen in number, was read over, and the
prisoners fully committed to take their trial at the pre-
sent session at the Central Criminal Court.

THE SCOTCH BANKS.

-----
We refer, with much satisfaction, to the highly
important meeting of the county of Lanark, held on
Friday at Hamilton, and to the very able resolutions
deprecatory of all interference with our present
currency and banking system, which were unani-
mously adopted. The requisition to Lord Belhaven,
in compliance with which the meeting was called,
contained upwards of two thousand signatures ; a
fact which we trust will not be without its influence
upon the Government. The whole proceedings
were, moreover, characterised by the most cordial
unanimity—another fact which ought also to
have its effect in the proper quarter. There
was not much oratory at the meeting. Those
who attended it were men of business, who
met to transact business ; and as there was not one
among them who had not made up his mind upon and
thoroughly understood the question, there was no
necessity for any displays of elocution to convince the
wavering, or enlighten the ignorant. The resolutions
which they passed are the most clear, able, and com-
plete expositions of the real state of the matter that
we have yet seen, and might, with great advantage,
be taken as models for all future meetings that may
be called to consider this subject. The county of
Lanark, the wealthiest and most populous of Scotland,
feeling the importance of its unanimous voice upon the
question, has set to work in a vigorous manner. We are
informed that every parish in Lanarkshire will be
called up to sign the petition—and in addition to this,
copies of the resolutions and petition are to be for-
warded to the Convener of every county in Scotland,
with a recommendation to get them adopted, and
signed in every district. Were this plan carried out,
as we trust it will be, an opposition to the inter-
ference of Government would be raised, as powerful as
that of 1826—the old national spirit of Scotland
would be awakened, and the Minister would be com-
pelled to leave us alone in the enjoyment of a prospe-
rity which his theories might shake, but could never
have created.—

TIIE LATE HIGH SHERIFF OF DURIIAM..--It is in
contemplation to erect a monument to perpetuate the
stering Fublic and private worth of the late Henry
Thornton Maim Witham, Esq., High Sheriff of the
county of Darhatn, and the plan :suggested is not to
raise the mere useless pillar, or " flattering -narble," but
something in accordance with his practical character, his
benevolence, and active regard for the education of the
middle and working classes. Tho erection ce: a hand-
some building, expressly inscribed to Lis memory, is
projected for the use of the Barnard Castle Mechanics'
Institution, which the late Mr. Witham originated, and
for the success of which his efforts and labours were
unceasing.

On Saturday the King of the French received a de-
putation of the 3d Legion of National Guards at the
Tuileries, who had expressed a wish to offer their con-
gratulations and welcome to the Duchess d'Aumale.
The young Princess leant on the King's arm, and his
Majesty hold the hand of the Count of Paris. The
King cordially thanked the National Guards for this
proof of their attachment to the throne, and hoped one
day to see the Count of Paris in their ranks.
The Constitutionnel says, that the marriage of Queen
Isabella 11. with the Count of Trapani is finally deter-
mined on ; and that the affair has been definitively
arranged by the Prince of Joinville and the Duke d'Au-
male during the recent visit to Naples.
The price of bread at Paris for the last fourteen days
of the present month has been fixed at 31c. the kilo-
gramme for the best, and 24c. fur the second quality.

at Teheran, on his way to England.
The mysterious paragraph in the Augsburg Gazette,

merely gone on a shooting excursion, which he is said to
enjoy much.
We have accounts from Athens to the 29th ult.
The Chamber of Deputies was still occupied annulling
all the elections in which the friends of the late Ministry

On Monday morning a fine fat ox, belonging to a
butcher, in Wells-street, Oxford- street, while being
driven, with several others, through Brooks .market,
Holborn, suddenly left the herd, and walked into the
private entrance of a house, occupied by Mr. Wynne,
tailor, &c., Dornington-street, and after walking up the
passage, became firmly fixed at the end. The passage
was so peculiarly constructed that it was not possi-
ble to get it out alive, and after the animal had remained
in the sumo position from lionday morning until Tues-
day night, it was found necessary to kill it, which
not done without considerable difficulty. So swollen had
the beast become from its cramped position that it re-
quired the united exertions of two horses and upwards of
twenty men to extricate it.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slit,—ln the columns of your journal of Saturday
last appeared a paragraph, headed, " What next?" in
which wearing a certain " clumsy ring" for the cure
of rheumatism, &c., was denounced as quackery. Had
the writer, previously to penning the paragraph in
question, examined the ring, he would, probably, have
arrived at a different conclusion ; he would have as-
certained that the inner periphery was zinc inlaid
with copper—was, in fact, a small galvanic battery
—a power that immortalised the name of Davy, by
enabling him to reduce the most refractory sub-
stances—a power that can call into energetic action
the muscles of, and all but resuscitate the dead. If
galvanism be successfully employed in the cure of
rheumatism and paralysis, is it evincing a very great
degree of credulity to entertain the proposition that a
constant, though feeble, stream of electricity, gene-
rated by the action of the moisture of the skin on the
two-metal ring, will be attended with beneficial re-
, sults ?—I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

TICE TEMPLE OF JUGGERNAUT.

The CHAIRMAN, in reference to a motion of which
Mr. Poynder had given notice, said he was happy to in-
form the Court that arrangements had been made, by
which the British Government of India would in future
have no connection whatever with the worship of the
natives in the Temple of Juggernaut.—(Hear.)
Mr. STRAUHAN expressed his very great pleasure at
hearing so important an announcement from the
Chairman.

Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON then rose to call the atten-
tion of the Court to the treatment of his Majesty the
King of Delhi by the Government of India, and also to
the state of the police in the presidencies of Bengal and
Agra, and to the state of the gaols in all the presi-
dencies of India.

AN EAST INDIAMAN BURNED.—On Thursday
night, about six o'clock, a fire broke out in t.ke ship
Scotland, the property of Messrs. William Morison and
Co., of this city, which arrived at Broomielaw quay on
the same day, with a valuable cargo of East India
produce, consisting of rum, cotton, sugar, saltpetre, &c.
By the exertions of the superintendent of the Glasgow
fire engines, along with the West of England and River
Trust fire brigade, the flames were kept in check from
about half past six in the evening until half past three
in the morning, when they broke out with great fury
through the after hatchway, where a considerable stock
of rum was stowed, and continued for some time to blaze
without any prospect of abatement. The fire brigade
continued to pour water into the hold for about eight
hours, from six branch pipes, so that, en the return of the
title, the quantity of water furnished by the engines
filled the ship entirely, within about two feet of the
deck. Notwithstanding this, the fire continued to spread
under the decks, and ultimately got such a thorough
mastery of the vessel that all hope of saving the cargo
Was given up. By half-past four o'clock, the mainmast,
which had been previously cut through with a saw, in
order to save it from the devouring element, gave way
with a tremendous crash, and fell into the river. It was
speedily followed by the mizenmast, which, having been
burned through, descended right astern, nearly crushing
in its progress a boat's crew, who were engaged in
scuttling the ship. At this time the flames were brought
under in the forecastle and amidships, but continued to
rage with violence in the cabin and quarter-deck. By
the well-directed efforts of tha fire brigade, however,
they were subdued, and the ship, being now completely
scuttled, settled down into the river, almost a total
wreck. The Scotland was 388 tons register, and was
one of the finest and fastest sailing ships belonging to
the Clyde. ller cargo on this occasion, which was one
of the most valuable description, has been almost corn-
pletely,destroyed.— Glasgow Chronicle.

WHEREAS, b 3, an INDENTURE, bearing
" date the sth day of September, 1844, and made between
JAMES CHRISTOPHER ROYSTON, of Coduor Park, in the
county of Derby, gentleman, of the one past, and JOHN CUTTS.
of Chesterfie'd, in the same county, gentleman, and THOMAS
LEE, of Crich, in the same county, grocer, of the other part, the

Notice is therefore hereby given that such indenture was duly
