SODA WATER,
ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on
the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate
the superior quality of the .lErated Water produced by
their manufactory, and they have scorned to have re-
course to any tricks. In the present day some persons
consider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery
in order to extend the sale of their own productions by
detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R.
and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe-
riority of their own Soda-water and lemonade, founded
on the recommendation of the most eminent of the
faculty, an the results of tho most searching chemical
analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand
for them by the public, both at home anti abroad,
that they have hitherto treated the insinuations
of quackery alluded to with the contempt they
deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are
still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel
themselves justified in offering those explanations that
may enable the public to judge for themselves, If R. and
S. have placed the name of Schweppe upon their bottles,
it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with
that firm, but far the purpose of announcing a legitimate
fact, and always subordinate-to their own. Without im-
puting undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have
simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe
and Co.,—an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have
been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very
period that the waters sold by Schweppe gave to that
name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers
was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold
by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is
many years since any person, having the slightest
connexion with the name or family of the late Mr.
Schweppe, has been connected with any house in the
trade. In the year 1834, the proprietor of the busi-
ness carried on under the name of Schweppe and Co.
sold his interest to persons with whom R. and S.
declined to remain ; they preferred employing their in-
dustry and practical knowledge in establishing. a business
far their own mutual profit. Whether the waters since
manufactured by the present firm of Sehvveppo and Co.
retain the quality which acquired fur that house all its
celebrity, R. and S. decline to give an opinion ; but, in
justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con-
dn s
ayth
at
th—e hig bottleshl3 which bear
as some ma-
fu r
their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi-
cultnueacete anders sge t roa'
estimate
as it is to prevent retail trackmanfrom returning
wrong ones—there is nq bottle hearing any other than
their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedge and
Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived
from filling them with waters of their own manufactory.
ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS only desire such patronage
as may be deserved from the lErated Waters produced
at their own manufactory, and sold under the labels of
their own name,-37t Bridge-street, Bristol,

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NJRTHERN CIRCUIT—York, August 24.
.TENKINSON V. PARKIN.

This was an action for a breach of promise of mar.
riage. _ _

Mr. Dundas and Mr. Watson were for the plaintiff;
Mr. Wortley for the defendanL
It appeared that the defendant, who is a cattle
dealer, and possessed,. besides, of some smdl landed
property, became acquainted, about
:ten years ago,
with the plaintiff, about his own age, residing with
her mother at a place called Lee-green, near Leeds.
Both parties were then about twenty years of age, of
the same station in life, and in all respects apparently
well suited for each other. The lady, also, had some
little property of her own. The defendant proposed,
and was accepted, but the marriage was postponed for
some time on the ground that the defendant's mother
did not approve of his marrying at that time. The
courtship, however, went on, and about 18 months ago
the defendant bought the wedding ring, which he gave
to the plaintiff, expressing his wish that the wedding
should soon take place. On the 19th January, the day
Was at last-fixed for the
,Wednesday following, a wed-
ding dress was prepared, and the plaintiff's friends at-
tended at her mother's house, where the party was to
breakfast, and whence they were to go to Leeds for
the celebration of the marriage. The expected bride-
groom, however, came not, nor did he make his ap-
pearance for some days, when he alleged as an excuse
for disappointing his bride that he had some sheep to
look after, and thought the wedding would do as well
on another day. Within a fortnight, however, he
married another person—a Miss Fanny Hardisty, a
lady 19 years of-age, who had, it would seem, -both
money, youth, and beauty to recommend her, with
the further claim upon the defendant of being the
mother of a child of which, she alleged, he was the
father, and being then pregnant of a second. After
the marriage the defendant, in an interview with .the
plaintiff, admitted the impropriety of his conduct, and
offered 1001. and all expenses as a compensation.. She,
however, referred him to her attorney, in whose hands
the matter had been placed. There was not, it was
admitted on all hands, the slightest imputation on her
character.

Mr. Wortley addressed the Court in mitigation of
damages ; and Lord Denman having summed up, the
Jury returned a verdict for 1001.
George Bulling, and William Hare were indicted
for a highway robbery from the person of John Lee,
at the same time using personal violence.
Sir J. Lewin and Mr. Raines for the prosecution ;
Mr. Overend for the prisoner Butting.
It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor,
that on the 25th June last, late at night, he was re-
turning from Beverley to Hull, when he was met by
two men, one of whom immediately Amex him over
the eye, inflicting a considerable wound, and closed
with him. The second man pinioned him behind, and
put a hand over his mouth. The one who first struck
hiM then rifled his pockets, and that person he recog-
nised to be the prisoner Butling. The other prisoner. he
could not identify,, but observed, as they left him, that
he *as a tall man, and that the buttons on the back of
his fustian jacket were white in the moonlight. He
went on towards Hull, and gave an alarm. The parties
whom he met went in pursuit, and a short digance
beyond the place where the prosecutor was robbed
apprehended Butling, whose dress corresponded with
that which the prosecutor had described. He had a
bundle under his arm, with which he wished to be
allowed to go h6me, and which proved to be Ham's
jacket, which he had been seen wearing a very short
time before, and which had buttons on the back such
as the prosecutor had described. Hare. was appre-
hended going into Leeds, about one o'clock the next
morning, without a jacket. Further evidenoe' INM
given to show that the prisoners had heen in the
immediate neighbourhood where the prosecutor was
robbed a very short time befbro, .and .that they had
changed a part of their dress,.apparently for. the pur-
pose of disguise. A number of other minute
culars were detailed, tending to show the partiicipmion
in the offence.

The prisoners we ocinvicted, and sentenced to he.
traiMpArtoi fur 13 years.

POLICE INTELLIQENCE.
WANDS WORTH.
Yesterday John Dftrho _Lyon, a baker in the High-
street, 11-midsi,vorth' was brought up on warrant
charging him with having threatened that he woniii
with a halter hang Richard Smith, and further with
saying that the said Richard Smith deserved to be
hanged as much as (qct the murderer did.
_ _

Mr, Smith, who dscrlhe:d himself as a hopqner,
olisut,- living in the High-street, Wandsworth, stated,
that on the 17th inst., he went into the Rose and
Crown public-house, and whilst be was sitting in the
front parlour the defendant brought a halter, which
he fixed to the sign-post. He then called to ma-
plainant through the open window and said Good's
business had been settled that way, but that he (the
complainant) .was worse than him, and ought tohave
had the first turn, Defendant then told complainant
if he would come out he would hang him and charge
him nothing for it. This extraordinary proceeding
drew a great concourse of -people, and although Mr.
Morgan, jun., the son of the landlord, el-17
deavonred to persuade defendant to tae away
the halter, he would not dq it, for sew
time. Previous to this occurrowe comp:IAD:AA had
been insulted by the defendant carryinat~: about
with him in the streets, which 44.14k.".A.in the face
of the complainant, and hi 1+
said to have
been round his neck
of Gebd's. Complainant
could not aoeount tloi- the defendant's conduct; he had
taken him but of a 10W neighbourhood, and lent him
50/. to start in hush:less with.
The cleNw.o set up was, that the complainant had
beers to the defendant's miller and ether tradespeople,
and endeavoured to ruin his credit, and this had caused
him to lose command over his temper. It was further
stated, that both parties were up to their ears in liti-
gation.

Mr. PAY NTRR strongly reprobated the conduct of
the defonchnt, in comparing the complainant to such
utter miscreant as Good; no provocation could ex-
cuse so odious a comparison, and he was at first in-
clined to hold the defendant to bail in very heavy
sureties ; but as it was afterwards shown that the
complainant had in part brought the annoyance on
'Allinson, he should, to preserve the peace of the
neighbourhood, hold both parties to bail in the sum of
20/. each to keep the peace for the next six months.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

. PUBLIC MEETING AT THE NATIONAL ASSO-
CIATION HALL, LAST NIGHT—MEMO-
RIAL TO HER MAJESTY.
A very crowded public, meeting was held last night,
in the Hall of the National Association, Holborn. to
take into consideration the present alarming state of
the country. Among the gentlemen, present we no-
ticed Captain Bernal, M.P., for Wycombe.
Mr. HETHERINGTON was proposed, and took the
chair ; and doing so, he said that in opening the pro-
ceedings of that evening, it would be necessary to
state that the meeting was called to take into consi-
deration the awful state of the country ; and in doing so
he wished to state at the commencement that great
efforts had been made to prevent the expression of
public opinion upon these important events. It was,
of all things, important that the moment any great
commotion. took place in a great country like this,
that there should be an immediate opportunity given
for the public expression of opinion, because, if these
combinations were brought 'about by the bad govern-
ment of corrupt and wicked Ministers, or by bad le-
gislatior, what were the people to do if, when they
met to express that opinion, their meetings were in-
terdicted, and every means taken to prevent them ?
It was, of all things, important that public meetings
should be held whenever there was a necessity for the
expression of public opinion.—(Cheers.) It was under
these circumstances that he had consented to take the
chair that evening; and although spies were going
about, and police were sent dressed in plain clothes,
yet he hoped thatthat meeting would be conducted in
a peaceable and eonstitutional-manner„ and he should-
use his utmost endeavours, and he trusted they would
support him, to make it such.—(Cheers.)
Mr: MORTON then rose to propose the following
rasolution :—" That this meeting is of opinion that
that the distress and disorder now prevalent in the
manufacturing districts, are sufficient evidence of the
injustice and foolishness of class-legislation, and fully
prove that the classes now arrogating to themselves
the powers of government, have not 'succeeded in at-
taining the- only just end of government—namely,
the comfort and content of the governed." He said
that, twenty years ago, the wages of the working
man were six times what they were at present. Was
it to be wondered at, that men turned out, when they
were at starvation's door ? The men only claimed the
wages of 1840, and surely that could not be injus-
tice. It was his firm conviction that it was of little
use attempting to put down the people, unless they
put down the distress.—(Cheers.)
Mr. MORRIS, in seconding the resolution, said that
the outbreak in the manufacturing districts was not
a political one, but one caused by dire distress. The
people were not to starve--they must not starve.
The resolution was then put and carried amidst
loud cheers.

Mr. Lwrosi proposed the following resolution :
" That while this meeting directly traces the present
anarchy to the one great injustice and monopoly of
class legislation, while it justifies the right of the slave
to strive for redress, it nevertheless is desirous that
such redress should be attended with the least possible
amount of injury to any; that it therefore earnestly
exhorts the actors in the present emergency to refrain
from all wanton violence---to conciliate, rather than
to provoke, the troops used against them, and to keep
their endeavours, as far as possible, under cover of the
laws" He did not for a moment support or uphold
rebellion, but he would not turn round upon the men
who lost their tempers by starvation, and say you
shall have no sympathy from us.—(Loud cheering.).
The word rebel was not so bad after all. They must
understand him. He wished to be understood by the
eapacity of the meanest and most stupid policeman.—
(Loud cheers.) It was no crime to rebel against star-
yation.—(Cheers.) The guilt of the rebellion lay on
the heads of those oppressed the people who rebelled.
—(Cheers,) He would conclude with the words of
Vitwon, " the surest way to remove sedition is the re-
moving the cause thereof."—(Cheers.)
Mr. WATSON, in seconding the resolution, hoped •
that every one would obey the law, as there were
spit. in the town. Every endeavour had been made
provoke a breach of the peace, and at White-Con-
duit House on Monday, had it not been for the inhe- '
rent love of order in the people, the peace would have
been violated, owing to the conduct of the police. •
The CHAIRMAN said that before he put the. reso-
, Intim, he would just say that the papers which had
been placarded on the walls calling the meeting had
been nearly all tern down by the police. He (the
Chairman), sent out two men with boards on their
. backs, thinking that they would not be harnied, but
instead of this they had been seized by tvvopolice-
men, and conveyed to Bow-street.—(Cries of
" Shame, shame.") He (the Chairman) thought it
necessary to make this announcement to show how
lattempts were being made to suppress the honest
expression of opinion.—The resolution was then put
and carried amidst loud cheers.
Mr, SAVAGE then rose to propose the following
resolution :—" That this meeting is tonvinced that
there can be neither Peace ller prosperityfor Great
Britain until the equal rights 04:
all classes of the com-
munity—as set forth in 411,ie People's
Charter—shall
be acknowledged by L• 1 egis ature."—(Tremendous
cheeriak% whiel•
fasted efor several minutes, together
Iv"ws.''''.rig of handkerchiefs and hats.) He (Mr.
~ age) took that opportunity of returning his public
grateful thanks to those brave fifty men in scarlet who
had refused to murder their fellow men.—(Cheers.)
They had had the manly courage to look full in the
faceof danger, and refused to obey the orders of those
who .violated the laws of God and man.—(Loud
cheers.) Those men said we will not be instrumental
lin the death of our fathers, our mothers, our sisters
and brothers, and kindred, at your command.—
(Long continued cheering.) We never agreed to
• murder our fellow men, and we have sentiments: that
make our hearts revolt at such a thought.—(Cheers.)
But the people were not worthy of this nobleness. It
was with sorrow that he (Mr. Savage) had found that
no response had been made to it by the ,people.—
, (Hear, hear.) The people were . not worthy of
liberty when they allowed those men to be sent
ironed to town. 'But no injury should come
upon these men.—(Renewed and vehement cheering.)
Perhaps the Government would send them abroad to
work their existence out—(Cries of " No, they never
shall")—and if they did, those men would take with
them the gratitude of the whole people of this country
that they had not stooped to murder their fellow-
countrymen at the command of merciless tyrants.—
(Cheers.) He (Mr. Savage) knew that spies had been
sent about—probably there were some in that very
room. Policemen were sent about in plain clothes to
entrap the people, and he must say that the proceed-
ings of the last fortnight would almost justify an ap-
peal to physical force, but that the people were bent
upon peace unless they were goaded on.—(Hear.)
Mr. LOVETT rose to second the resolution, and
was received with loud cheering. He {aid, that in
rising to second the resolution, he was not in a frame
of mind to trouble them with any very lengthened
Observations, but he concurred most cordially in the
sentiments expressed in the resolution, that there
could be no prosperity in this country until the rights
of the whole people were acknowledged as the law of
the land, as set forth in the document called the
People's Charter. He had. observed for some
years past the " miseries of the working man
had been increasing. In 1814, a working man
might, with one week's wages, have purchase]
26 loaves of bread, and now if he laid out his whole
week's wages he could only buy seven loaves. In
1814 the man with a fixed salary and property could
only buy three pieces and a half of calico for 31., and
he could now purchase ten pieces for the same money.
Now he would ask whether the monied man or the
calico producer had been benefited ?—(Hear.) He
(Mr. Lovett) was anxious that the working man
should examine the Charter himself, and not listen to
what the Times or the Herald, and any of those
sneaking papers, which were merely the tools of those
who paid them, might say, but he hoped that every
working man would investigate the document of the.
People's Charter, and examine and take up the great
questions it contained, and they would then find that '
to carry out its principles to the fullest extent would
surely remedy the crying evils under which the
country at present laboured.—(Cheers.)
The resolution was then put and carried amidst the
most vehement cheering, accompanied by waving of
hats and handkerchiefs.

Mr. DwArivz then rose to submit to the meeting a
memorial to her Majesty. The memorial embodied
the sentiments of the different resolutions, and prayed
that her Majesty might be pleased "to call Parlia-
ment together immediately, and instruct them to lay
the only sure foundation for redress, by rendering to
all classes of the community those national and
political rights, as set forth in the People's Charter,
which have so long been unjustly withheld from
t hem."— (Cheers .)
The memorial was then put to the meeting and
carried, only one hand being held up against it.
A vote of thanks was then carried to the Chairman,
and the meeting quietly separated at a quarter past
ten o'clock,
