" The various positions of lover, husband, and parent, the
inherent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and pre-
vented through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions.
To such, among others, this essay addresses itself; and by its
perusal many questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that ad-
mit of no appeal even to the most confidential friend."—Stafford

MISCELLANEOUS.

On Tuesday evening the Stroud Anti-Corn-law
Association held a crowded and enthusiastic meeting
in the large subscription room of the borough.
Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and resolu-
tions were unanimously agreed to expressing con-
fidence in the League, and a determination to carry
out its objects. The total sum subscribed was 558/.
The amount subscribed last year was only 274/., so
that this year the contribution is more than doubled,
besides considerable subscriptions which are yet ex-
pected.
A spirited address to the merchants, manufactu-
rers, and other inhabitants of Birmingham and its
neighbourhood has just been issued, informing them
that a great meeting will speedily be held at Bir-
mingham to promote the objects of the League, and
calling on them to attend the meeting, and aid in the
bolition of monopoly. 'The demonstration at Bir-
mingham is expected to be most influential, far more
than, and counterbalancing, the Anti-League move-
ment in Warwickshire, which has begun there as well
as in other counties.
Messrs. Cobden and Moore were presented with the
freedom of the burgh of Cupar, Fife, on Thursday
last, and afterwards addressed a numerous assembly
of the inhabitants, at a public meeting, on the subject
of free-trade in corn. On this occasion Provost
Nicol occupied the chair, on the motion of James
Aytoun, Esq., of Capeldras, seconded by D. M. M.
Crichton, Esq., of Rankeillour.
By the Derby Mercury of Wednesday, we
learn that more than 700 tenant farmers of the
southern division of the county of Derby have called
a meeting for Friday next, to he held at the King's
Head Inn, to determine upon the propriety of forming
an agricultural protection society.
From a Parliamentary paper of last session it ap-
pears, that from the year 1820 to 1842 there was re-
gistered no fewer than 9,557 private banks, and 985
joint-stock hanks. From 1841 to 1842 the number
of the former was 311, and of the latter 118. The
Yorkshire district bank had in January, 1842,
1,000 partners, the largest number in any bank but
one existing at the period mentioned. The Man-
chester and Liverpool had, at the same perion, 1,113.

GRAND FETE AT DENNE I ARK.—A magnificent
bal costume was given by Mr. C. G. Eversfield, on Wednes-
day, at his above seat near Horsham, at which at least 300 of
the leading nobility and gentry connected with the county. of
Sussex were present. The arrangements for the entertain-
ment occupied several days, and the mansion not possessing a
saloon sufficiently commodious to accommodate the visitors in-
vited to the fancy ball at night, a very splendid temporary erec-
tion in the form of a marquee, but having all the splendour of
a gallery in its decorations and equipments, was provided ; so
as to form, apparently a part of the house, being connected by
a corridor, tastefully embellished with flowers, and brilliantly
illuminated. It was furnished by the well-known establishment
of Benjamin Edgingtou of Duke-Oreet, Southwark,

IkIITTEE.

Palace of Agra, March 13, 1843.

Although it was my anxious desire that a fuel and statisfac-
tory settlement should be made with the Maws of Sinde,
without a recurrence to arms, I cannot but feel that the victory
of the 17th February has placed us in a position which will be
ultimately mere advantageous than that I had endeavoured to
secure by pacific treaty.
In the occupution of Kurachee and the island of Bukkur,
and of both the adjacent towns of Sukkur and Roree, with
armed steamers upon the Indus, and the means, during seven
or eight months of the year, of rapidly reinforcing the troops
at those stations from Bonib”, and Feroeepore respectively, w•
should have held a position which would have practically pro-
tected the navigation, and have given us military possession of
the Lower Indus ; still it was impossible to depend upon the
continued observance of treaties by the Ameers, notwithstand-
ing their release under the new teaty proposed to them from
pecuniary payments, the never-failing source of bitterness of
feeling and of dispute.

Delusion, as to the circumstances under which we retired
from Affghanistan, and ignorance of our real strength, which
they never experienced, would have induced a brave and bar-
barous people of plunderers to avail themselves of the first oc-
casion in which we might be involved in difficulties to endea-
vour to throw al engagements, which they entered into with
reluctance, to compel our ret.rement from the Indus.
The war, which could not be for ever avoided, would have
been forced upon us at the most inconvenient time, and night
have produced a serious diversion of our force when we most
needed it. •

Fortunately, the treachery of the Ameere, and the overween-
ing confidence, and the reckless vic)lenee of the BelnJoclueeo,
have brought on a crisis at the period at which we could with
least embarrassment encounter it, and the result has bean the
most decisive victory gained on the best fought field.
Sir Charles Napier had my instructions more than three
months before the battle of Meanee. He was during all that
period at the head of a preponderating force; but acting with
extreme forbearance, in the true spirit of a generous soldier, he
earnestly endeavoured to effect the objects of the Government
without using the military means at his dispoeal.
The firmness of the language he adopted, and the energy of
hie measures, were best calculated to control a barbarous
Durbar, and hail the Ameere been entirely mastera of their
own troops, it seems to be doubtful, even now, whether he
would net have affected his purpose, and tarried the treaty into
execution without actual hostilities.

The events which have occurred, give to S.r Charles Napier
the peculiar glory which attends the most decisive success in
war, obtained in the prosecution of measures, which bad for
their object the preservation of peace.

THE PRICE OF SUGAR
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Sir R. Peel, in the late debate, seemed to
triumph in the " fact" that sugar was cheaper in the
year 1843 than the previous four years. Had he
cause to do so? I think not. Our population has
daily become larger—the supply of sugar, according
to his own statement, is increased to a most trifling
extent—yet the price of sugar is considerably dimi-
nished. This is a state of things which a Minister of
the present day ought not to boast of: for, if it proved
anything, it proved the progressive inability of the
people of this country to buy the same quantity which
they individually had done in the preceding years,
and hence the lowness of price; and we may trace
that inability to buy, to the long-continued high price
of the first necessary of life—Bread.

HAMBURGH MAIL.

THE KING OF SWEDEN.--The Harnburgh papers
have no news of the King's health later than the 27th of
February, which has already been published. His Ma-
jesty signed, on the 26th of February, the decree pro-
longing the full powers to the Crown Prince till the Ist
of May. On that day (the 26th) his Majesty had only
been able to speak with much difficulty a few words.
The Borsenhalle of Friday, the Bth of March, an-
nounces that the Stockholm mail of the Ist of March
had arrived, and that it was to be delivered at six P.N.,
but gives no extracts.
FROM THE RHINE, FEB. 29.—We understand that
the negotiations of some German States with the British
Government, to obtain permission to transport criminals
of a certain class to New Holland, has not been wholly
unsuccessful. This statement agrees with an account
from Frankfort, that two persons condemned to be con-
fined for life in the House of Correction, with hard la-
bour, have obtained, at their own request, a commuta-
tion of their punishment into transportation to one of
the penal settlements in New Holland, and that they
have been sent to England, whence they have been for-
warded in a convict ship to the place of their destination.
POSEN, FEB. 25.—The greater part of the Russian.
Polish fugitives arrested between the 20th and 24th of
last month, were sent this morning in a number of large
waggons ,escorted by gendarmes, to Magdeburg. The re-
mainder will follow in a few days. Much as certain per-
sons were inclined to assume that they are wholly innocent,
we have learned from persons whose situation enables
them to be more accurately informed respecting these
matters, that the authorities had obtained a knowledge
of very extensive illegal associations ; and that the mea-
sures which have been taken were absolutely necessary.
The sending of all the arrested persons to Magdeburg
puts an end to the report which was pretty confidently
circulated, that they would be entirely set at liberty ;
and proves, on the contrary, that the treasonable plans
laid to their charge were not unfounded What makes
this more probable is, more arrests have lately taken
place, which, however, we cannot vouch for. Nothing
more is known respecting the domiciliary visits lately
made at the residence of some young Poles ; onthe other

LAW AND POLICE.

At the Stafford Assizes Ralph Birchenough, 45, and Ru-
pert Gouldstraw, 29, were convicted for breaking into the
dye-house of Wm. Hemmersley, at Leek, on the night of the
17th January, and stealing therefrom a quantity of silk, the
property of Messrs. Ellis, Russell, and Clowes, and a quantity
of scarf silk, the property of Josiah Brunt and Co. A pre-
vious conviction was proved against Birchenough, who was
sentenced to 20 years' transportation, and the other prisoner
cto 15 years.
William Trafford, aged 35, was convicted of assaulting
Francis Lowe, on the Queen's highway, at Leek, on the 11th
of May, 1842, and stealing from him a basket, and a shoulder
of veal. He was sentenced to be transported for 15 years.
At the Thames Police Court Margaret Dagwell was placed
at the bar for final examination, on a charge of maliciously
stabbing Charles Dagwell, her husband, with a knife, by
which his life was endangered. The particulars were repeated
and confirmed. She was then fully committed for trial.
James Holt, a clerk at Messrs. Sutton and Co.'s, carriers,
in Whitecross-street, was brought before Mr. Alderman
Brown, at Guildhall, charged with embezzling various sums
received on account of his employers. After two charges had
been heard the attorney for the prosecution proposed to go
into a third charge of embezzling a cheque for 131. 6s. The
Alderman thought it would be better to take the whole case
together at the next hearing. The prisoner declined saying
anything, and was remanded for a week.

is a sure and speedy cure for those annoyances, without
causing the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other remedies
for corns, its ci.eration is such as to render the cutting of the
corns altogether unnecessary : indeed, %se may say, the practice of
cutting corns is at all times highly dangerous, and has been fre-
quently attended with lamentable con.!equenc.s, besides its liability
to increase their growth. It adheres with the most gentle pres,ure,
producing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and, with

Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some
of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that
before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement,
and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely
restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried
various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops,"
and had prescriptions from the moat celebrated physicians in this
country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic
Drops," have co rpletely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND

iiutatt Optuton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

The Hibernia Royal mail steamer, which arrived at Liver-
pool on Wednesday, brings very distressing accounts from
Washington, caused by the explosion of one of the large guns
of the new war steamer the Princeton. The President, seve-
ral Secretaries of State, and men high in office, with about
200 ladies, were on board. Mr. Upshur, the Secretary of
State ; Governor Gilmer, Secretary of the Navy ; Comman-
der Kennon, Chief of the Bureau of Construction of the Navy ;
Virgil Maxey, Esq., and Mr. Gardiner, of Southampton,
New York, were instantly killed, and six sailors badly
wounded. President Tyler had a narrow escape.
The telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne, published in The
Sun of Wednesday, announcing the surrender of Alicant,
appears to require confirmation. A letter in the Madrid
Heraldo, dated Villa Frangueza, March 3, says :—" Bonet has
attempted to force the blockade line. Three men of his
escort having joined the Queen's troops, he has deemed it
prudent to retire into the town. It appears that all the
carabineers were most willing to come over to the Queen's
troops, and that Bonet has more confidence in the National
Guards of Alicant than in them. It is affirmed that he is
forming a company of guides in order to proceed with them
to Aragon."
The Gazette de France has the following :—" A report has
been current in Paris that the Spanish Government wished
to arrest, if it had not already arrested, M. Isturitz. The
letters from Madrid do not confirm this news; but we believe
that M. Isturitz, as well as M. Lopez, and all men of any
consideration, has thought it prudent to shelter himself from
the caprices of a power to which nothing is sacred, and which
maintains itself only by a general disarmament of the National
Guards, and putting all the provinces in a state of siege."
The French Chamber of Deputies on Monday was occu-
pied with the further consideration of the new Patent Bill,
and up to Article 28 was dispOsed of. The business in the
Bureaux was the nomination of the Committee of the three
great lines of railroad; the majority was generally in favour
of the measure as proposed by the Government.
A letter from Naples, Feb. 24, states that a shock of an
earthquake, of considerable duration, but the effects of which
were not serious, had been felt at Potenza, in Sicily.
" Paris," says a French journal, "is always internally
guarded by fourteen regiments of infantry and cavalry; and,
moreover, 4,500 veterans, municipals. gendarmes, and sapeurs-
pompiers, and by seventeen regiments stationed within ten
leagues. These thirty-one regiments form an effective force
of 75,000 men, not including the municipal guard, veterans,
pompiers, &c. Paris, as is seen, is guarded by an army of
80,000 men." _ _ _

The official gazette of Stockholm, of the 27th ult., contains
a Royal order, prolonging to the Ist of May, on account of
the King's illness, the period previously assigned to the Prince
Royal for holding the reins of Government.

ALLSOPP'S EAST INDIA PALE ALE.
In consequence of an advertisement issued by Messrs. Bass
and Co.. in the London and provincial newspapers, we were under
the necessity of addressing a letter to those gentlemen on the 26th
ult., informing them that their statements of the prices of Pale Ale
in India, and the shi, merits thereto, as far as we were concerned,
were " grossly incorrect," and that if the advertisement were not
withdrawn, we should feel compelled publicly to allude to the inac-
curacy of it. We have, th.erefore, no alternative but te declare
publicly, what we informed them privately, that almost every state-
ment is " grossly incorrect." We take this opportunity of giving
accounts of the latest bona fide wholesale sales of each Ale, as veri-
fied by the various prices current, and have only to refer partie to
thosecennected with India for a confirmation of these facts.

CLERKENWELL.

John Cres.,well, a cab-driver, badge 8,470, and driver of
cabriolet 1,241, was charged by Mr. Seabrook, his em-
ployer, with misconduct.
Police-constable North, being on duty in Theberton-
street, Islington, at two o'clock in the morning, saw the
gates of Mr. Seabrook's premises open, and the cab
standing in the middle of the street opposite. He gave
information of the circumstance to the complainant, who
stated that the prisoner went out with the cab and horse
about eight o'clock, and that he had not seen him since
that time. They went to the stable and saw the horse
standing there, but neither the prisoner nor the har-
ness were anywhere to be found. They called the pri-
soner loudly by name, but no answer was made ; at
length he was seen lying under the horse, in the stall,
his head protruding from between the animal's hind
legs. The prisoner, who was stupidly drunk, was
dragged from his perilous position, aad placed upon his
limbs, when his appearance was irresistibly ludicrous—
he was completely rigged out in the horse's furniture,
having the winkers on his head, the collar round his
neck, and the saddle on his back. He had mechanically
stripped the horse, and then, under the influence of some
Bacchinalian freak, assumed the humiliating appearance
and position described.
The statement produced much merriment in Court.
The prisoner, who looked very sheepish, declared he was

A lad, apparently about 18 years of age, of very des-
titute appearance, sought relief from the Magistrate.
Mr. CONDE asked him his name and address ? The
applicant said his name was James Carter, and that he
was a native of Nottingham.
