NAVAL AND MILITARY.

-
The funeral of an old Waterloo campaigner took place
last Saturday at Stoke Park, Windsor, the seat of
Granville Penn, Esq. The veteran was buried in a
romantic spot in the classic grounds of Stoke, with mili-
tary honours, three volleys having been fired over
the corpse as it was lowered into the grave. The de-
ceased, who was a great favourite in the neighbour-
hood, had carried the gallant Sir William Gomme
through the three memorable days of Waterloo, and
went by the familiar name of " Old Charger." He
reached the venerable age of forty. After his death, a
hullet, which he received on the 17th June, was ex;
tracted from his hind quarters.

LONDON:
THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1842.

The Revenue Returns for the quarter and the
year will be found in another part of The Sun,
and we cannot say that they answer the anticipa-
tions which. the Tories have encouraged of a
great increase in the revenue. The whole actual
increase On the year, as compared to 1840, is
506,0951., which includes the increase in the rate
of taxation levied in 1840. The Custo.ms' increase
on the year is only 145,2431., which, as the in-
creased rate of Customs duties was only levied
for a part of the year 1840, must be regarded on
the whole as a falling off in the Customs re-
venue. The same remark extends to the Ex-
cise; the whole increase of which in the year is
only 6,356/. The increase of the Taxes sur-
passes the actual increase in the year, there
having been a decrease in the Stamps, and
in the extraordinary revenue ; and as the in-
creased rate of 10 per cent. levied by the
late Chancellor of the Exchequer, operated
through only half the year 1840, the increase in
the year 1841 is mainly due to the increased rate
from which people could not well escape. The
Post-office, we are happy to see,, has gone on
steadily increasing, and we trust that the Tories
will not, by reverting to the old charges, disturb
an experiment which, when it is carried fully
out, promises to he one of the greatest boons
which a fiscal regulation ever conferred on the
country. On the whole, the revenue of the
year offers nothing on which we can congratulate
the country.

On the revenue of the present quarter, compared
to the corresponding quarter of last year, there
is an apparent increase, but, we hope the Tories
will not deceive themselves, nor attempt to de-
ceive the public, by representing this as a great
improvement. The whole increase in the quar-
ter, without deducting the decrease, is 622,0041.,
and composed chiefly of an increase of 414,368/.
in the Customs; of 21,8711. in the Stamps; of
123,2391. in the Taxes ; and of 29,0001. in the
Post-office. But we know, by various reclama-
tions in the public journals, that the collector's
screw has, of late, been unsparingly applied to
drag in the Taxes. more speedily than usual. That
may account for some of the increase in Taxes.
The great increase of the Customs is partly
accounted for by the 'temporary derangement
caused to commerce iu 'the quarter ending in
October, owing to the party disputes in that

IMPORTANT NEWS
FROM CHINA.
By the arrival of the Overland Mail from
India we have received news from Bombay of
the 30th of November, and from Canton of the
10th of October. The intelligence from China is
highly important. On the 2(itli of August the
British squadron, under the command of Admiral
PARKER, assisted by Major-Gen. Sir H. GOUGH,
Commander of the Land forces, and in the pre-
sence of Plenipotentiary Sir H. POTTINGER, cap-
tured the strong city of Amoy without the loss of
a single man on the side of the British. The Bri-
tish squadron consisted of 34 sail, including
steamers and transports. This force sailed from
Hong-Kong on the 21st of August, and on the
25th arrived within forty miles of Amoy. Sound-
ings being taken by the Druid and Blonde
frigates, and the two Commanders-in-Chief
having reconnoitred the coast, on the fol
lowing - morning preparations were made
for a general attack. In the interim the
Chinese had fired several times upon the
ships, but without doing them any injury.
Shortly •after eight o'clock, A.M., a Mandarin
came on board the Wellesley with a flag of
truce, ostensibly to inquire why so many ships
came to trade at once, and what kind of mer-
chandise they had on board. The Mandarin,
however, soon discovered that our friend, pro-
crastinating Captain F4moT, was not the person he
had Aadeal with. And if pause in this narra-
tive may" be allowed, what a pity it was fi)r
'both, seeing the line field presented fbr
endless ncgoeiations! What grave shaking of
heads there.would have becn between the ex-
Piet' potentiary and the Mandarin, and what
• work the secretaries and translators, and messen-
gers to and from the Celestial Court of Pekin,
would have had, were it an ELLIOT instead of
a POTTINGRR that had appeared with a squadron
before Amoy. I;nt. Sir IL POTTINGER is not a
Plenipotentiary of the ELLIOT stamp, and
so heat once informed the Mandarin that the
" foreign devils" could fight as well as barter
woollens for teas and rhubarb, and that the
former was now . the object of their visit. The
engagement was begun by two steamers, the
SesostriS and Queen, about half-past twelve
o'cloCk, and in half-an-hour afterwards the fight
was general. The line-of-battle ships anchored

LITERATURE.

THE FREEMASON' S QUARTERLY REVIE TV.
A portrait of Dr. Crucifix, with a design of a beau-
tiful testimonial to a brother who deserve so well of
the Masonic fraternity, constitute the fitting em-
bellishments of this Number of the "Freemason's
Quarterly Review." The articles are so exclu-
sively devoted to subjects interesting to, and
only to be fully understood by, the craft, that
being of the uninitiated, we can only speak of
them in very general terms. The most interest-
ing is from the prolific pen of the Rev. Dr.
Oliver, who is a constant contributor to the pages
of this periodical. As allegories are now some-
what rare, we quote the following entire. It is
entitled " Time and his Children :"

Few who have paced the gorgeous halls of the Vatican
can fail to remember a lovely basso-relievo, from the
matchless chisel of Praxiteles, representing Time and
his three daughters; the Past, the Present, and the Fu-
ture. What expression has the cunning Greek given to
the first ! what a tale of broken hopes and faded dreams !
while the joyousness of her sisters, so varied in its cha-
racter, yet so intense in its development, speaks of love
unsated, or pleasure yet to come. From the friendship
of the Prefect of the palace, the present Cardinal Fieschi,
I had free permission to roam at will through its thou-
sand halls and chambers, an indulgence I seldom failed
to avail myself of -on those days when they were left to
the guardianship of their own awful solitude. It was on
one of these visits that Metzofauti, the learned librarian
of the Pope, who had noticed my admiration of the caps
dopra in question, placed in my hand a manuscript, writ-
ten in choice Italian, the production of one of his prede-
cessors. As it relates to this well-known group, I have
translated it for the benefit of the readers of the Quarterly.
In the olden days of the earth, when the gods loved to
descend from Mount Olympus to wander among the sons
of men, when every fountain boasted its nymph, and
every grove its dryad, there were born unto Time, by one
of the Hours, three daughters, fair as the rosy-fingered
- Aurora, and beautiful as the Paphian goddess. They
were named the Past, the Present, and the Future. Their
education was entrusted to an old female relative of
Time's, called Experience ; and, but that their froward
disposition inclined them rather to mock at than imbibe
the wise precepts of their venerable instructress, they
might have become as wise as their great parent.
One morning, it was a soft May morning, the sun
sparkled with unusual brilliancy, and a gentle breeze, laden
with perfumes from the adjacent meadows, murmured
through the green vine foliage that covered their dwell-
ing. The sisters gazed from their lattice upon the lovely
valley, blue mountains, and clear streams, which lay ex-
tended before them.
" What a delicious day for a ramble among those dis-
tant groves and meadowil". exclaimed dirt Future:-
" Delightful I echoed the two sisters.

violently snap asunder the bonds of union which were
to become so firm for a question of etiquette?"
Notwithstanding the REGENT'S denunciation of
the abuses of the Spanish press, the Republican
National praises very highly the Speech of the
REGENT. The following is an extract from a
clever, laudatory article in that Journal :
" We have read with great interest the speech of the
Regent, which forms another contrast to the sorry docu-
ment which M. Guizot recently sent forth to the world.
The Peninsula is rising by degrees from the abasement
into which it was plunged by civil war. The Govern-
ment encourages industry—devotes itself with solicitude
to public instruction—and is about to consecrate by law,
after having already practised them, the doctrines of
good government. The judicial hierarchy is to be orga-
nised on new bases ; the registrars and escribanos, who
are one of the curses of the country, are to have fixed at-
tributes, and deeply-rooted abuses are to be attacked by
severe regulations. Espartero speaks briefly and without
pomp of his last victory over the rebel Christinos. Cle-
mency has been mingled with his policy, and if in his dif-
ficult position the Regent has not done all that we might
have expected from him, it cannot be said that he merits
the reproach of having prolonged the system of chas-
tisement, and brought curses upon himself by his cruelty.
Spain, governed by the men who were chosen by the
nation, Spain happily preserved from all Court in-
fluence, for her Royalty is but nominal, has for eighteen
months tasted all the blessings of a free and strong Go-
vernment. The calm which the nation enjoyed has been
disturbed by intrigues which had their birth in
France, but the result of the odious insurrec-

tion which was got up has been defeat and
shame. In less than a month the insurrection was
fully put down, and the Regent was able to resume
the direction of the great interests which are entrusted
to him. The Spaniards have again proved that they
tut ready armed for the defence of their revolution, and,
although even at this moment the partisans of Christina
are endeavouring to renew their unworthy agitation, they
will doubtlessly remember the severe lesson which has
been inflicted upon them. What is incontestable to all
honest men is that the Regency of Espartero is the sin-
cere expression of the national will. The sovereignty of
the people created his rights, and these are the rights in
-the name of which the Government is acting.
There is no domestic news of any interest in

the Paris Journals of Monday. Conjectures are
afloat as to what the Opposition may do or not
do, but we apprehend that nothing is yet really
known upon the subject. The following extracts
from them contain all the miscellaneous news
of any interest :

RECANTATION.
(From the Awning He;trld.)

In our paper of the 21st ultimo we noticed, upon autho-
rity on which we have been accustomed to place implicit.
reliance, the existence of rumours relative to the Exche-
quer Bill Fraud, which we were assured had gained sn
extensive circulation in the City. The result of inquiries
which we subsequently instituted on the subject, now
leads us to the conviction that we have been imposed
urion, and that such rumours had gained no such circula-
tion as our informant confidently stated.
To have given currency to an unfounded statement
such as we allude to, is a matter of regret ; but, having
ascertained its want of foundation, there is only one
course to be adopted, and that course we do now sponta-
neously adopt by thus making the fact just stated public.
It has, we regret to find, been supposed that our para-
graph, with its quotation from Milton,
" What seemed its head,
The likeness of a kingly crown had on."
alluded to a Noble Marquis lately Viceroy, of Ireland,
and subsequently high in her Majesty's Government.
We take this opportunity to avow our thorough convic-
tion that there could not be the smallest foundation for
any such charge. We need hardly add, that, to any one
who should understand our allusions as directed against
him, we should vonvey a most false imputation against
that Noble Lord-Which we should be the first to regret.

AFFECTING SUICIDE.

An inquiry was gone into on Tacsday before William
Carter, Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, at the Queen
Charlotte, Millpond-street, Bermondsey, on the body of
Mrs. Ann Matilda Bachelour, aged 29.
Mary Ann Porter, and Mrs. Porter, her mother, the
first witnesses examined, exactly corresponded io their
evidence with that of-Mr. Bachelour's following._

Mr. William 'Bachelour (who was much affected)
stated that he had been married to his wife four or five
years. On Friday Mrs. Bachelour was much excited,
and observed to me, " You, and mylfather and mother,
are against me, and I will not put up with it any longer.
Since my mother has been here, saying all she can
against me, you don't seem to like me as well 48 you
did. I have borne the persecution of my mother, but
I can bear it no longer."
The CORONER—Her own mother ? Mr. Bachelour
—Yes (bursting into tears), she has been a very cruel
woman ;my wife was an excellent creature. Witness
went on to say that his wife was very strange in her
conduct all the afternoon, and while be was sitting by
the fire she got up and went to a sideboard where there
was some mcdicine—(she could make them up as well
as he could)—and she had not been there a second
when she exclaimed" I have taken it." Witness asked
her what she taken, and she said " Morphine." lie
asked her how much, and she said, "There is the
glass." He looked, and found she had taken at' least
30 grains, and he was satisfied she must die. He said
" You are a dead woman." Mr. Field was called in,
but she died that night from the effects of the poison.
The CORONER—We have heard that family differ.
ences have had something to do with the depressed
state of mind in which she appears to have been for so
long a time. Can you tell us what they were ? Mr.
Bachelour—l have always understood that because she
would not marry a gentleman her mother desired, her
(the mother's) conduct had been most unnatural. She
came to me and told &I she could to prejudice me
against my wife since she was two years of age.
The CORONER—And the feeling has continued ?
Yes, even up to yesterday ; I went to Chatham to tell
her parents of her death, and her mother said, " I am
glad of it!"—(Great surprise in the Court was here
expressed )
The CORONER—Has your practice here been exten-
sive or limited? Limited.
The CORONER—Do you think that had any effect
upon her mind? Mr. Bachelour (bursting into tears)
—I fear it bad. __ _

The RON E a said he know of no one .thing more
likely to break a young woman's heart than continued
unkindness from a mother ; it is felt by the criminal on
the scaffold, and how much more acute must be the
feelings of a young lady of twenty-nine.
The Jury then returned a verdict "That the deceased
destroyed herself, being at the time in a state of tem-
porary insanity."

4STOVES. —These excellent, useful, and convenient
Stoves no house should be without, being so particularly adapted
for all .purposes of airing, drying, and heating, and being
portable, can be used in any part of the house as required
without dirt, dust, or danger from fire, and will burn from
twelve to eighteen hours, vrithcrat any trouble beyond the first
lighting, which may be done in the kitchen or yard. For
stables, coach-houses, harness-rooms, hot and green-houses,
and conservatories, they are invaluable. Improvements have
also been made by the addition of pipes or chimneys suitable
for offices, shops, warehouses, &c., for the purpose of burning
coke, at the trifling cost of threepence per day.

" MACAO, OCT. 8, 1841.
" Since our last circular of the 17th of August, the
aspeet of affairs here has been marked with so much of
uncertainty and anxiety as greatly to have obstructed the
satisfactory progress of trade, the Chinese being deterred
by the apprehension of trouble from buying imports, unless
at very low prices, and importers unwilling to run the risk

BL AIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS. _ _

TO MR. ?ROUT, 2-9, STRAND, LONDON.
Dartford. Jan. 2, 1.41

Sir,-1 have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair's dont and
Rheumatic l'ills have been of be greatest service to me. Between
nine and t n months ago I became afflicted with that mo,t painful
disease Sciatica; the agonising pain which I suffered in my legs and
thighs for so long a pe, io 1, baffl.s any description which I can pos-
. ibl, give of my then miserable sate. I could eldom obtain either
rest or sleep. I had the best medical advice, ncluding teat of two
physicia• sin London, without obtaining any essential relief. I went
to Margate, and had the best medial Advice, trying the warm bath
there, and at otiser places, without obtaining any ceneflt.
A short time ago I was rec mmen,:e r to try Blair's Clout and
Rheumatic Pills; and wa thereby induced to purchase a box of this
valuable medicine of Me srs Hammond and Co , Chemists of this
town, and befo e I had taken the quantity therein contained, I was
entirely free from pain, and .speedily recovered my health by taking
a few more Pills, and ha, pity there ha• been no return of this di-
' trming malady Y u are at liberty to publish my ca,e, in the hope
thereby that this excellent m,dicine may be the means of relieving
ethers 1 a n, Sir, yours, reepcctfully,
J. B MisaiN, Brewer and Maltster, Dartford, Kent.
r'. S.—lf I could possbply speak in stronger terms of your invalu-
able meth me I should be most happy, for it is impos ible for lan-
guage to describe the relief I have ex pnit.n, ed.
The never-failing effeos of BLAIR'3 GOUT and RHEUMATIC
P 1 LLS in curing every de crip ion of Gout and Rh umatisra, have
secured to them a c lebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or
present times '1 hey no only give relief in a few hours, where the
patient has be n driven nearly to madness by the excruciating
tortures of this disease, but restore ,o perfect health in an incon-
ceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in
rheumatism, either chronic or acute,lumbago, sciatica, pains in the
head or face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affbction ; in
fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of
this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there
is n t a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many
rateful evidences of the benign influence of this medicine.

RUMOUR Or THE DAY.

Mr. William 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.

A NEW SCHEME.—A case of French toys was
landed at one of the " legal quays" a few days ago, and
imported as such, and was, therefore, destined to ray the
usual ad valorem duty of 20 per cent. The case appa-
rently contained those cheap toys, garden-pots, which
are hawked about our streets by Italians and others, at
the rate of one halfpenny each, but they are no sooner
out of the jurisdiction, or at least out of the sight of her
Majesty's revenue, than these, by the removal of the
fancy red ochre with which they were externally deco-
rated, were transmogrified into chocolate, and reduced
into saleable packages, at an immense profit to the for-
tunate adventurers.

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR,
Composed for the most part of Oriental Balsamic Exo-
tics, to the utter exclusion of all mineral admixture ; it is dis-
tinguished medicinally for its extreme bland, purifying, and
soothing action upon the skin, and, by acting upon the pores
and minute secretory vessels, elf els all impurities from the
surface, allays every tendency to- inflammation, and, by this
means alone, effectually -dissipates all redness, tan, pimples,
freckles, and other unsightly cutaneous visitations, so inimical
to Female Beauty. Its constant application will change the
most Bilious Complexion into one of Radiant Whiteness; while
to the Neck, Hand, and Arm, it bestows a delicacy and fair-
ness unrivalled. _

To Gentlemen afflicted with a tenderness of the skin in
shaving, the application of the Kalydor will be found to allay
all cuticular irritation. It effectually heals and prevents chapped
and a rough skin, and, from its extraordinary efficacy in allay-
ing all incidental intlam . ation, &c., deserves a place among
the household treasures of every family.
Price 4s. 6d. and 83. 6d. per bottle, duty included.
OBSERVE—The Name and Address of the Proprietors,
A. ROWLAND & SON, 20, HATTON-GARDEN, LON-
DON, are engraved on the Government Stamp, which is pasted
on the cork ; also printed i■ Red, on the Wrapper in which
each bottle is enclosed.
