SIMCO'S CHEMICAL ESSENCE OF LIN"
SEED, an invaluable remedy for COUGHS, COLDS,
HOARSENESS. ASTHMA, INFLUENZA, and INCI-
PIENT CONSUMPTION. Price la. lid. and 2s. 9d. per
Bottle.

From time immemorial Linseed has been proverbial for its
virtues in the cure of Coughs and Colds ; but previous to the
discovery of the present Chemical Essence, it was merely used
in the form of tea, and its benefit comparatively limited. This
Essence contains all the medicinal properties of Linseed in a
highly concentrated form, combined with other medicinals and
herbs, producing the most certain and efficacious remedy for
Coughs which has yet been discovered.
Children's Coughs, as recent ones in Adults, will be re-
moved by a few doses of Simco's Essence of Linseed (frequently
by the first) ; old standing Chronic Coughs may require per-
severance, but they ultimately yield to its curative powers.
Asthmatic persons, who previously had not been able to lie
down in bed, haze received the utmost benefit, and others suf-
fering from Influenza have been speedily cured by this valuable
medicine.

LA W INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 24.
IN RE GEORGE CHAPMAN.
The bankrupt in this case was the proprietor of the
well-known dairy at Islington called " Rhodes'
Dairy." He had also been the holder of several
large farms in the neighbourhood of London. The
amount of his debts and liabilities were stated at
20,0001., and the available assets to be about 5,000/.
He had on the last day appointed for his hearing
written a letter to Mr. Rhodes, the trade assignee,
stating that he was about starting for America, and if
Providence favoured his undertakings, he would meet
all his liabilities to the last farthing.
At the last hearing the case stood adjourned to this
day, when the meeting was held, pro forma, the pro-
clamation of outlawry having been announced on the
7th ult.

(Before Commissioner Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.)
IN RE HODGSON, BROTHERS, AND DOVER.
This day was fixed for the final examination of Mr.
John Dover, of this firm, who carried on the business
of wholesale chemists and druggists, at the Three
Cranes wharf, Upper Thames-street.
There have been several examinations in relation to
this extraordinary bankruptcy, and in the course of
which it appeared that the house, being in difficulties
between three and four years since, Mr. Dover went
off to the Continent, where he continued to live until
he was brought to England by the issue of the fiat
about the month of February last. Upon leaving
home he gave a power to one of his clerks to sign bills
and cheques in the name of the firm, and bills in
abundance were the result, Mr. Dover never requiring
any, even an annual account of the state of his affairs.
Debts have been already proved to the amount of
about 30,0001.

The following is the abstract of the balance-sheet of
John Dover, in partnership with T. Hodgson till his
death, and subsequently as survivor, from the Bth Feb.,
1836, to the 14th Feb., 1842 :

ness at Prince Edward's Island. He (Mr. Haldon) had
insured the lives of the emigrants, too, for the benefit
of their relations.
The LORD MAYOR here asked the Secretary of the
Association some questions relative to the Noblemen
and Gentlemen of the Association. He had, he said,
observed the name of his Grace the Duke of Argyle
under the head of President, and he wished to know
whether that name appeared by the Dukes authority?
The Secretary—Most undoubtedly it does. His
Grace takes the greatest interest in the subject, and
is most active'for the benefit of the Association.
The Secretary admitted that he never saw more
than three of the Commissioners at the offices, but
that number was sufficient for all the transactions
of the Association, who were bound by the acts of the
Commissioners.
A young man here complained that he had sold
certain goods for the use of the vessel, but had re-
ceived not money but bills in payment.
Captain Campbell declared that 3,000/. worth of
goods were on board, and the vessel was at Graves-
end, and the delay had been only caused by the delay
of certain machinery.
We omit several comments made by the persons
who appeared to make complaints. The case was
postponed by the Lord Mayor.
Yesterday, after the observations made by Mr.
Bourdillon upon the stability, and respectability, and
signal importance of the Association, that gentleman
stated that he rejoiced in having the opportunity- of
manifesting, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that
the Duke of Argyle sanctioned, and most warmly
approved of and recommended its objects. He then
produced a book of the proceedings of the Associa-
tion, and pointed out.l4e...name of the Duke of Argyle,
written by his Grace, as Chairman.
The Loan .MAron—Does the Duke hold any in-
terest in shares in this Association?
Mr. Bourdillon—Yes, certainly he does. I have
here an account in a newspaper of the 23d of July,
detailing what took place at a dinner given by the
Association to Sir Allan M' Tab, and at which a
Noble Duke presided. That is another evidence of
the stability of the Association.
The LORD MAYOR did not consider that satisfactory
evidence. He wished to know whether any other
persons attended to make complaints ?
Mr. Bourdillon said there was not one. The
vessel was, he declared, one of the most perfect in the
opinion of the Government, and supplied with every-
thing for the support and comfort of the emigrants,
and he challenged the most rigid inquiry with regard
to her in every respect.
The LORD MAYOR—It was complained on Saturday
that people were not paid for supplying the vessel.
Here a man, named Eden, who complained on
Saturday, stated that he had nothing now to say.
The Loan MAYOR—The emigrants who complained
on Saturday, said that they left good employment to
go with you to Prince Edward's Island, and that the
contracts with them had been broken.
Mr. Bourdillon said the Association had nothing to
do with the emigrants going out. Mr. Haldon
managed with them.
The LORD Maxon. here observed that there ap-
peared to be a vast deal of confusion and mystification
about the whole affair, and he did not wonder that
poor men should feel suspicion about it.
J. L. Blackmore, an iron-moulder, stated that he
engaged with Mr. Haldon to go to Prince Edward's
Island. Mr. Haldon gave a very good account of the
place, and said that witness might make his fortune
there.
The LORD MAYOR—Did he say what sort of a
place it was in winter? Blackmore—He said it was
cold in winter.—(A laugh.) Witness was to have 3/.
a week for three years with the Association, and to
have then the liberty to reside in the island, in which
he was to have five acres of land, freehold, at a pound
an acre. Mr. Haldon said the land was like that of
Gloucestershire or Worcestershire, and would grow
anything that was sown in it. Witness had given
up a situation of 2/. a week to accept the offer three
weeks last Saturday, and never had got a shilling
from Mr. Haldon.

The witness was subjected to a long cross-examina-
tion, during the course of which he said that he heard
no noise when the door was forced open, neither did
he see any marks.
Mary Smith had been at Hussey's on the day in
question. Had let Hussey and his wife into the
house shortly before the arrival of Gibbs, and had
bolted the door after she had let them in. No person
had come in or gone out until Gibbs made his appear-
ance. Hussey asked him to show his warrant
He said No. They had high words, and Gibbs seized
Hussey by the collar before Hussey struck him.
There was no striking, only a scuffle, and, after
there was a great noise, another man came up to help
Gibbs. They all then fell down stairs together, and
Gibbs fell upon some coals. Witness swore positively
that Hussey never struck Gibbs at all, either with the
poker or anything else.
On her cross-examination, the witness said, that
no blow was struck by Hussey at_ the officer in the
eye, neither did Hussey tell any one to shut the door,
or call for a knife or a hammer. The children
screamed " Murder," but she did not hear Gibbs cry
" Murder."

By the REcounmt—Witness did not see Mrs,
Hussey touch either of the men.
Several Sheriffs' officers, who had on various coca-
sions arrested the prisoner, deposed to his having al-
ways behaved quietly on such occasions.
Various witnesses were called to the prisoner's .cha-
racter.

Mr. CLARKSON replied.
The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury found
the prispner guilty of an aggravated assault, and the
Judge sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment
with hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
THE BRITISH AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR EMI-
GRATION AND COLONIZATION.—Mr. Bourdillon yes 7
terday attended the Justice-room as solicitor to the
British American Association for Emigration and
Colonisation, to which his Lordship's attention had
been called on Saturday. His Lordship had after the
ex-parte statement had been made on that day ex-
pressed a wish that no account should go forth to the
world until the Association should be afforded an
adequate opportunity of showing that the complaints
made against the Association were groundless, and an
assurance was given that the wish should be complied
with. To the surprise however of the Committee, a
statement appeared in a newspaper, and of the most
garbled and unfair description to the prejudice of a
Company, formed for the accomplishment of a vast
public object, and calculated to render the most im-
portant advantages to the community.
The LORD MAYOR said he had not seen the ac-
count alluded to, but he was convinced it was not
written by the reporter, who regularly attended the
Justice-room, and who was aware of the impropriety
of publishing complaints against public bodies until
due time should be given for refutation. The in-
justice of such premature disclosures was likely to be
injurious to the newspapers themselves as well as to
those against whom they now aimed. He was ready
to attend to the subject.
Mr. Bourdillon said, that a sweeping condemnation
from the Chief Magistrate was calculated to do serious
mischief, and he should state that the conduct of the
Association was strictly honourable and correct.
For the purpose of making the case intelligible it
is necessary to give an outline of what occurred on
Saturday, and to represent some other particulars
connected with the affair :--

Circulars (some of which were handed to the Lord
Mayor), had been extensively, sent abroad amongst
the public, representing that the capital of the Asso-
ciation was one million, in 201. shares ; that his Grace
the Duke of Argyle was President ; and that the fol-
lowing noblemen were amongst the Vice-Presidents,
viz., the Marquis of Huntley, K.P. ; the Marquis of
' Downshire, K.P. ; the Marquis of Bute, the Marquis
of Lorn, the Earl of Carnwath, the Earl of Dun-
more, the Earl of Cassilis, the Earl of Gosford,
G.C.B. ; Lord Scarsdale, Lord Forbes, Lord Duffus,
Lord Belhaven, Lord Elibank, Lord Kilmaine, Lord
Macdonald. It further stated that the consulting
Counsel was the premier Baronet of Scotland and
Nova Scotia; that there was one feature in the con-
stitution of the Association as connected with Scot-
land and with the interests of the Scottish emigrants,
too important to be passed over—the support given to
the undertaking by a union with the Baronets of
Scotland and Nova Scotia, an order originally cre-
ated to further the settlement of British North Ame-
rica, by which its objects are closely interwoven with
the interests of the Scottish nobility, and by the
members of that order conducting its management a
careful supervision was provided over all the interests
not only of the shareholders, but more especially of
the emigrants confided to its care, a supervision not
ceasing with their landing in a new country, but
continuing till they should be located in their settle-
ments, and providing for their future happiness.
The names of thirty-four Scotch baronets are given
in the list of Vice-Presidents ; following those, the
noblemen above-mentioned, and after them are the
mimes of the Commissioners :—Sir William Ogilvie,
Bart.; Sir William Dunbar, Bart. ; Sir Robert Bar-
clay, Bart. ; Sir Allan Napier Macnab, Sir Richard
Brown, Thomas Rolph, Esq. The offices of the As-
sociation are stated to be at No. 29, New Bridge-
street, Blackfriars.

Sundry creditors not debited to any
account.

The LORD MAYOR—Did you consider you were
going out for Mr. Haldon or the Association ?
Blackmore said he thought he was going for the
Association.

The LORD MAYOR (having looked at some papers
handed to him) said that Blackmore's contract cer-
tainly was with Mr. Haldon. His Lordship again
condemned the delay which had taken place as to the
starting of the vessel, and said it was a strange time
of the year to send out a vessel to such a place.
Mr. Bourdillon admitted the fact of the lateness of
the year for the voyage, but said that 40,000 persons
were already at the destination, and that the Duke of
Argyle was most anxious about the departure of his
Highlanders, who were in great multitudes unable to
obtain emplyment at home.
The LORD MAYOR really did not think the Duke
would wish his Highlanders to go at such a period of
the year.
Mr. Bourdillon—The Association is, my Lord,
the child of the Duke of Argyle, who acts from the
most benevolent motives, and is supported in his
views by all the first men in Edinburgh and other
parts of Scotland. lam happy that this has taken place,
although intended as an injury to the Association.
The LORD MAYOR—You think it will operate as a
good advertisement.
Mr. Bourdillon—Exactly so. We challenge in-
quiry, and are sure that the more there is made the
better it will be for the Association.
Jams Hammond, an engineer, who had engaged
to go to Prince Edward's Island, stated that Mr.
Haldon led him to believe that the Association had
everything to do with the engagement. He had been
told that all the preparations had been made not with
money, but with bills, and he felt not inclined to go
on that account, and for six weeks he was led to be-
lieve he would have an advance. There was a great
deal of mystery about the transactions, which gave
much dissatisfaction.

The prospectus states further that the operations of
the Association are intended to be commenced in se-
veral seigniories lying on the north bank, of the St.
Lawrence, about halfway between Quebec and Mon-
treal, for the purchase of which agreements have been
prepared. These tracts comprehending nearly
200,000 acres, have been selected as being admirably
adapted, from their geographical position, to form to-
gether the centre of the transactions of a great and
powerful Association.
Several men having complained to the Lord
Mayor that they had entered into contracts with
those whom they considered to be the representatives
of the Association to go to Prince Edward's Island, in
the ship Barbadoes, his Lordship directed that the
Captain, D. Campbell, who owned that vessel, and
Wm. Haldon, who negotiated with the emigrants,
should attend to answer the charge of violation of
their contracts. In the course of the loose and dis-
jointed statements made on Saturday, a great many
assertions, upon the part of the complainants, were de-
nied upon the part of the individuals accused.
One complainant stated that he gave up a lucrative
business in London, in order to emigrate, and signed
articles to go with the Captain to Prince Edward's Is-
land, and serve the Association at five guineas per
month. After he was on board seven days another
Captain, who superseded the first, wanted him to sign
articles at five shillings a month less, and agreeing to
go to any part of the world.—(Laughter.) He by no
means relished such a proposal and refused to sign.
Captain Campbell said the fact was, the first cap •
fain was in pecuniary difficulties, and unable to go
out with the ship, and another captain was procured,
but it wasfound that the second appointment was a
i very ndifferent one, for the gentleman who was se-
lected was one night picked up blind drunk in the
Commercial-road, in the society of a low prostitute.
The LORD MAYOR said that such a person certainly
was not fit to take care of the lives of a number of our
fellow creatures.

Captain Campbell—Certainly not. But a captain
has been since appointed who is in every respect quali-
fied for the undertaking. I am owner of this ship,
and charter it, and am naturally anxious for her
safety on every account, and no vessel can be
better calculated, as is admitted upon all hands, to
undertake the voyage.
The LORD MAYOR—Is it not late in the year to
send a ship to Prince Edward's Island? Captain Camp-
bell—Yes; but ships have been later.
The LORD MAYOR—At a very high rate of insur-
rance then ? Capt. Campbell—No, no increase.
Thomas Mitchell, a surveyor, here stated that he
was in a good situation when Mr. Haldon engaged
him to go to Prince Edward's Island, at 21.105. a week,
and agreed to advance him 81., which was to be paid
back out of witness's earnings.
The LORD MAYOR asked whether there was any
written agreement ? The witness replied that there
was no agreement in writing, but Mr. Haldon had
announced that he would abide by what appeared in
print. Witness had broken up his house in order to
go, and the inconvenience he was put to was immense.
Mr. Haldon was anxious that witness should go with-
out any agreement at all, but the proposal was at
once rejected.
Mr. Haldon most solemnly assured the Lord
Mayor that the most complete arrangements had
been made on board for the reception of the emigrants;
clothes adapted to the climate, and provisions and
everything necessary for their location, were in readi,

Childs, the constable, to whom the complainant had
made these representations in the first instance, handed
in several names of persons, who, he said, were desi-
rous of complaining of violation of their contracts by
Mr. Haldon, or by the Association, but--
The LORD MAYOR advised Mr. Haldon to retire
and make some arrangement with them, and his Lord-
ship stated that he would on Tuesday write to the
Duke of Argyle upon a subject of such deep interest to
the public.
The vessel is now, it is believed, ready to sail.
CLERKENWELL.
Elizabeth Rose, an unfortunate girl, was charged
with obstructing and assaulting police-constable Gold-
smith, whilst in the execution of his duty.
From the constable's statement, it would appear
that, at half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night, he
was on duty in Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, when
he heard two women making a noise. He desired
them to go away ;, but one of them, the prisoner, re-
mained, and told the other not " to go away for that
b-y boy." He stated that when he was taking
her into custody she gave him a kick, that he re-
quired the assistance of other constables to take her
to the station-house, and that she gave him two kicks
more there.
Mr. LONG asked the prisoner what she had to say ?
The poor creature exclaimed, " Oh, Sir, I have
been cruelly treated. I did no harm ; I did no harm;
I was not drunk ; I was dragged to the station-house.
I have been locked up since Saturday night; and he
(pointing to the constable) kicked me, and I have a
bruise on my knee from it."
Two constables bore testimony to the unnecessary
violence of the complainant, when
Mr. LONG said he would discharge the female. The
complainant was a young officer, and was excited by
her resistance ; but he used unnecessary severity,
much more violence than was requisite. The case
must be reported to the Commissioners.
