HOPE'S BRITISH MONTHLY.

The paper on " The Colonies" urges the advi-
sability of cutting asunder all the existing pre-
judices on the part of the Indian Government,
and disallowing its immediate support to the idol-
ism of Juggernaut. A parallel is drawn between
Puseyism and Dissent in a " Review of Profes-
sor Sewell's Christian Morals." Its nature is
declamatory rather than argumentative ; and
the controversialist, while eulogizing the unqua-
lified integrity of his own sect, brands his oppo-
nents as heretics, and fastens on them the worst
stigmas of Papacy. The struggles of the two
conflicting parties in the Scottish Church; and
the opinions of the local press on the questions
in agitation, form a concluding paper.

CHINESE FALSEHOOD.

Nothing in the annals of falsehood can beat, we think,
the Chinese account of the re-capture of Amoy, a trans-
lation of which is published in the last Canton press.
What can be done with a Government, the highest offi-
cers of which can write and circulate such unblushing
nonsense ? The fabulous days of Amadis of Gaul or of
Palmerin of England appear to be realised in China. All
Government is founded on opinion. When that is lost
the Government falls, and from the extract of a letter
from Amoy, in our last number, our readers will learn
that the people of that district have already offered to
put themselves under British protection, while we have
been told that even Hong Kong is rapidly flourishing.
—Canton Register, Sept. 28.
WHAT WILL BE THE END OF THE CHINA WAR ?
It is becoming a singular speculation what will be the
end of this beginning of war with China. Our own
opinion is that the Mantchow dynasty should be over-
thrown, another placed on the throne, and China be
thrown open to all the world. This end, we think,
would be infinitely preferable than to possess any por-
tion of its territory under the present dynasty.—lbid,
October 5.

CHINESE RECRIIITING.—We are informed by a native
that Yih-shan and the Governor are again recruiting for
stout and valiant troops and arming them with muskets,
which we expect they handle like cows.—lbid.
THE MARIA.—The schooner Maria grounded some
days back, in a dark night, on Chttenpe ; at daylight a
number of Chinese attacked and wounded the crew of
fourteen hands, and a Parsee passenger, named Merwan-
jee Nourajee. This passenger was badly wounded in
several places. He and seven of the crew eventually ar-
rived at Whampoa • the seven Lascars were brought
down to Macao on gunday, in a lorcha. The rest of the
crew have not yet been heard of. We think we have
before recommended that no passage-boat should sail for
the river without being well armed.—lbid.
LATEST 'TEM.—We have not any news to communi-
cate either from Canton, Hong-Kong, Amoy, Ningpo, or
Chusan ; all is, as we stated last week, quiet at Amoy ;
and there is no doubt but that the fleet reached Chusan
about the middle of last month.—Aid.

111 HE thirty-fifth testimonial in favour of
LAND'S BALSAM of SPRUCE, and second letter
from Lynn :
" Dear Sir—l am truly astonished at the effects I witnessed
on a poor man to whom I gave in the first instance the remains
of my last bottle of your most excellent Balsam of Spruce.
He had caught a most violent cold, accompanied with a pain
in the side, much fever, and shortness of breath ; indeed, so
distressing was his situation, as to be extremely painful to all
about him; his cough so incessant that it was expected he
would burs' a blood-vessel, and thus end his sufferings and his
life. It was at this juncture I took him the last bottle I had
of you, and directed them to give it a trial. I called to see
him two days after, and found him so wonderfully better, that
his family were exceedingly anxious he should go on with it ;
he was, in fast, comparatively comfortable ; the cough now
only came en twice or thrice a-day, and then without that dis-
tension of the blood-vessels of the forehead and other alarming
symytoms ; the tightness of the chest was much relieved, and
the pain in the side gone. He has continued the Balsam ever
since (now a fortnight), is nearly well, and considers himself
much indebted to you for his recovery, and requests me to
write this.
, find it is sold by my neighbour, Mr. Whittingham, as you
wrote, from whom I shall get it for the future ; and remain,
dear Sir, yours very truly, "J. MOORE.
" Lynn, March 18, 1841."
This Case will he immediately followed by others, to the
nu nber of nearly one hundred, already received ; its as-
tonishing power in subduing Coughs and Colds exceeds all
belief, whilst its healing, balsamic, and soothing qualities in-
stantly relieve soreness and tightness of the chest, sense of
suffocation, sore throat, &c.
Sold by W. Hallett, 83, High Holborn, nearly opposite the

RUMOUR or THE DAY.

Mr. J. "Wilson Croker, whose arrival from Stowe we an •
nounced two days" ago had been sent on a mission in
that quarter to pave the way for the conversion of the
Corn-law Duke. It is the general belief that Sir Francis
Burdett and Mr. John Walter owe their new faith to the
lectures of this great apostle. Should he be as successful
in this attempt, he will indeed perform a miracle, and
ought to be canonised at his death.

NEW COURT.

John Jones, a young man of respectable appearance,
was indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-
house of Henry Squires, and stealing three sovereigns
and four shillings.
Mr. PHILLIPS defended the prisoner, and in the course
of his examination of the prosecutor elicited from him
that he could not swear that he lost three sovereigns,
but inferred it from there being found on the prisoner,
with other moneys, which he was able to identity.
The evidence on the part of the prosecution being con-
cluded, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
The COURT sentenced him to 10 years' transportation.
The three sovereigns were handed over to the Sheriff:
Joseph Johnson was indicted for stealing a parcel from
a common stage waggon, from Abingdon to London, di-
rected to a firm in King William-street, City.
The examination of witnesses had not proceeded far
before the prisoner cut the matter short by admitting
that he stole the parcel. A verdict of Guilty was there-
fore recorded, and
The COURT sentenced him to three months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.
John Boyle was convicted of stealing a great coat on
the 28th of December, the property of William Sams-
bury, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and
hard labour.
George Drake, aged 28, a shoemaker, was convicted
of stealing one shawl, 30 lbs. of beef, value 365., and
money, value 2s. sd., the property of Andrew William
Osborne.
The COURT sentenced him to six months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 6.

IN RE THOMAS F. BALLS.
The bankrupt was an extensive omnibus proprietor,
who ran between Vauxhall and Oxford-street. His lia-
bilities were considerable, while his available assets will
scarcely pay ls. in the pound.
A number of omnibus proprietors, horso•dealers, and
persons connected with the trade were in attendance to
prove claims, and after a long discussion Messrs. Week-
ley, coach-maker, and Ashland, corn-factor, were chosen
assignees.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

Antvemahn, a Malay, 30, and Samut, a Japanese,
25 were indicted for cutting and wounding Hassan, a
Chinese, with intent to do him some greviously bodily
harm.

The prosecutor, upon getting into the witness's box,
had a saucer handed to him, and he kneeled down im-
mediately and broke the saucer upon the rail in front of
the witness-box.
Mr. Harker, the usher, then administered the oath to
him, according to the Chinese form, in the following
words—" You shall speak the truth, and the whole truth
—the saucer is cracked, and if you do not tell the truth
your body shall be cracked like the saucer."
Baron GURNEY inquired of the interpreter, who
stated himself to be a native of Macao, whether this form
of oath was binding upon the Chinese P The interpre-
ter replied that it was the mode of administering the oath
in China.

Hassan, the prosecutor, was then examined, and it ap-
peared that he and the prisoners belonged to the Scales-
by Castle East radiaman. A quarrel and fight took
place between the Malays and Chinese on board the
vessel, and in the course of it the prosecutor received
the injury in question. There was no evidence that
Samut had assaulted the prosecutor, but it appeared that
Antvemahn had struck him with a bamboo.

Mr. Phillips, who was instructed on behalf of the pri-
soners, was about to address the Jury, when the Court
intimated that the offence only amounted to an assault.
The Jury found Antvemahn guilty of a common as-
sault, and acquitted Samut.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN having ascertained that the
vessel would sail in about a month, ordered the prisoner
to be confined for fourteen days.
George Young was indicted for cutting and wounding
Jane Griffiths.

The prosecutrix being called, mounted the witness-
box with difficulty, and stammered out, " I am not fit to
be examined."

Mr. Baron GURNEY—I see you are not. Who has
been giving you liquor ? Prosecutrix—l gave it to my-
self ; I hare been up all night, and I am very drunk.
The case then proceeded, but there being no evidence
to show that the name of the prosecutrix was Jane Grif-
fithi, the Court directed a verdict of Not Guilty to be re-
turned.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

Since the fatal accidents on the railroads have become
so frequent, and it has been ascertained that the cala-
mities fall chiefly on the passengers in the open car-
riages some of the Companies are improving their second
and third class carriages. On the Grand Junction Rail-
way the second class have glass doors and sides, and the
Directors of the Hull and Selby, Manchester and Leeds,
and the Great Western, we hear, are imitating the good
example.
BOCIfESIASTECAL.
The statutes of Magdalen College, Oxford, are said to

NAVAL AND MILITARY. _ _

By order of her Majesty the forces employed at the
capture of the outworks of Canton are to receive out
of the money obtained from the Chinese, a donation
equal to one year's amount of the India allowance called
" Batta."

The Court of Directors of the East India Company
have also ordered the payment of a further portion of
the booty captured during the Burmese war. The naval
and military Commanders-in-Chief are to receive about
2,8001. each, general officers 900/. and the rest in the
same proportion, in reference to their relative ranks. •

also one behind, had been adopted? He thought it might
be desirable that some means should be adopted to
pre-
vent, as far as possible, the recurrence of accidents, in
order to give confidence to the public.
The CHAIRMAN said he did not think empty carriages
placed in the manner described would prevent accidents.
Mr. KINNAIRD said that frequently stage coaches were
placed between the passenger carriages and the engine.
He was happy to say that this line of railway was less
liable to accidents than any other, as there were no
cuttings or embankments. They had never had an acci-
dent yet.
The ClitlßMAN—Don't boast, Mr. Kinnaird.—(A
augh.)—There being no further business before the
meeting, thanks were voted to the Chairman and Direc-
tors, and the meeting adjourned.

• LAW INTELLIGENCE.
SHERIFFS' COURT, Jan. 6.
DRYDEN V. SYDNEY.
In this case the plaintiff was a partner in the firm of
Boyle, Brydcu, and Co., the publishers of the Court
Guide, carrying on business at 290, Regent-street ; and
the defendant, Sir William Robert Sydney, was a lawyer,
residing at No. 11, New Palace-yard, Westminster.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 151
for work and labour done, and upon an account stated, to
which the defendant pleaded that he never was indebted
except in the sum of 101., which he paid into Court. Mr.
Bryden had been a Parliamentary and house agent pre-
vious to his joining the establishment in Regent-street;
and in May last Sir W. R. Sydney called at the plain-
tiff's office, and said he was recommended by a Lady
named Boyle to apply to him to dispose of his house in
Palace-yard. Ile said he wanted 400/ for the lease of
the house, but if that could not be got, he would accept
of 1501., or even 50/, as he wanted to be rid of it.
Under these circumstances, the plaintiff caused three
advertisements to be inserted in the Morning Papers,
and the lease was subsequently sold for 50/. to a gentleman
named Rickworth, who took the fixtures at a valuation,
and upon informing Sir Robert'he told the defendant to
call the next morning and he would settle the account,
which at the rate of Si. per cent. on the rental of the
house and the incidental charges, formed the amount of
the present demand. Next morning Sir Robert left town
saying he would remit the money to plaintiff.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF having summed up, the
Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the full
amount claimed.
London, England, 1842-01-07

CAPTURE OF CANTON.

We learn that the Queen has been pleased to grant to
the forces employed at the capture of the outworks of
Canton, out of the sums received under the Convention,
a donation equal to ono year's amount of the Indian
allowance known by the namo of " Batta.”
The shares of Colonels will be 900/. each ; of Lieute-
nant-Colonels, 7201. ; of Majors, 540/ ; of Captains,
2161. ; of Lieutenants, 1441, &c.; the officers of the navy
sharing according to their relative rank with those of the
army.

Those who were not present at the operations against
Canton, but who were engaged in other operations of the
war, such as the taking of Chusan, are to receive six
months' Batta.—Times.
London, England, 1842-01-07

MONEY-TRADE-7C 0 MWIEIRC E.

The Bank of England and the Government are at
issue on the subject of the forged Exchequer bills re-
ceived by the Bank as part payment of the instalments
ou the last funding operations. The demand, on the
part of the Bank, for payment, which is considered in the
City irresistible, must be settled one way or another be-
fore the payment of the dividends.
The increase of the revenue on the last year has been
506,0951., and on the quarter 338,5491. Part of the re-
turns for the Excise and Customs, of course, include the
increased rate of taxes levied for a part of 1840. The
Post-Office goes on steadily improving.
London, England, 1842-01-07

SCINDE.

Our intelligence from Scindo during the present month
may be summed up in a few words. Major Outram has
arrived at Dadar, near the mouth of the Bolan Pass,
where a strong force has been collected for the purpose of
coercing the refractory tribes which yet infest the hills,
and render travelling impossible without an adequate
escort, and dangerous with even the strongest that can
be supplied. Doubtless we shall soon hear of some de-
cisive measures.

Another party of grass-cutters have been murdered
by the Beloochees ; but retribution has this time ac-
companied the commission of the cowardly deed, the
wretches having been seized and made over to Nusseer
Khan for execution. Search is being made after the
murderers of Mrs. Smith, and the force engaged in this
service have received orders to attack, on their return, a
place called Keerta, a Beloochee stronghold.
The murderer of Lieutenant Loveday has been given
up by Nusseer Khan, and executed. Ho was a slave of
Ghool Mahomed, but that chief was not implicated in
the crime.
A force, consisting both of cavalry and infantry, and
accompanied by an assistant political agent, is about to
proceed to Leebee, the capital of Kujjuck, to settle a dis-
pute with the Kujjuck tribes, who, it seems, have
diverted the river Neree from its proper course, in order
that it may flow over their own country instead of Cutchee.
There appears to be but little sickness now among the
troops. The cold weather has set in, and the climate is
described as being extremely pleasant.

SOUTHERN RRATTA
COUNTRY.

No further disturbances have occurred in this direc-
tion. The prisoners taken at Badamee have been tried,
and 100 of them sentenced to death, and the remainder
to imprisonment for various periods.
i The leader of the
insurgents has escaped capital punishment, in conse-
quence of his blindness, and is to be imprisoned for life.

THE SURVEYOR, ENGINEER, AND
ARCHITECT.

The members of the Committee appointed to
promote the Fine Arts are here approved of
both individually and collectively, but complaint
made that no one Professor of Fine Art enters
into its constitution. A number of localities
where improvements might be effected on the
borders -of the Thames, are suggested in an ar-
ticle on that ttpic. The necessity of a harbour
of refuge on the south-east coast of England is

honest man ? Remove M. Thiers avid M. (i;
Montalivet from the history of my life (I will for the
moment only name those two), and I should remain
what I always wished to be, the loyal and faithful
servant of the august Princess who had ever loaded
me with kindness. How can they then escape from
the odium that is cast upon me, who, by their infernal
seductions, have so cruelly led me on to ruin ? What!
shall the assassin, who for a piece of money murders a
man at the corner of a street, be reputed infamous,
whilst he who placed the poniardin his hand and paid
him the price of the murder is allowed to walk with
head erect, and quietly reap all the profits of the crime?
" As to those honest men who cannot pronounce
my name without a shudder, I ask of them neither
pardon nor pity ; and, nevertheless, if they would be
just, they would look on, my part of the infamy as less
glaring, and give a part to those who deserve it. This
would only be distributive justice.

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday., soon after Mr. Long had taken his seat
on the bench, Mrs. Dillon, wife of the Rev. Dr. Dil-
lon, whose name in connection with proceedings in
another Court has been so frequentlybefore the public,
was introduced by the chief usher, Franklin, to the
Magistrate, to whom she made known the following
particulars regarding her situation :--
Mrs. Dillon, who seemed in an agony of grief, and
who brought with her her little girl, apparently about
four years of age, stated that during the last three
weeks she had been residing with her husband at Mr.
Bentham'., a greengrocer, in Great Marylebone-street.
Her husband had expressed his intention to quit the
apartinents which he occupied'at the house in que3-
tion, and again take up his abode at 17, Adam-street,
Manchester-square, where he had formerly lived. She
(Mrs. Dillon), not approving of the character of that
house, and being determineclihat she would not livein
such a place, proceeded on the previous day to Doctors
Commons for advice, but on arriving there found that
her proctor was out of town. She returned to her lodg-
ings in Great Marylebone-street, and, to her utter asto-
nishment, found that during her absence Dr. Dillon had
quitted, taking with him, amongst other property, the
whole of her wearing apparel, &c. Beingleft in this di-
lemma, she repaired to the station-house in Maryle-
bone-lane, being at that time destitute of money
wherewith to procure food or lodging, and there saw
Inspector Tedman, when she begged to be provided
with shelter for the night, as she expected to see her
mother, to whom she had written, in the morning.
Mr. Tedman sent her to the Green Man and Still,
Oxford-street, where she and the child, upon Tedman's
name being with his authority. used, were provided
with requisite food and a bed. She was not unwill-
ing to live with her husband, although he had upon
many occasions ill treated her, but she could not sub-
mit to live with him in a house which was one of a
most disreputable description ; she begged of the Ma-
gistrate to give her his advice and assistance as to how
she should act in the matter.
In reply to a question from Mr. LONG, Mrs. Dillon
maid she had no wish to procee(' with regard to any
assault made upon her; all she wanted was, that she
slimuld be taken to a house of respectability, and not
to one of ill repute.
The MAGISTRATE observed that it was a very dis-
tressing case, but that it was one in which he had no
power to assist her. He advised her to consult her
proctor again.—biris. Dillon then quitted the Court.
