The Additions made to the Life Policies granted by this

cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent. on the
sums assured—a result, it is believed, more favourable than
any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when the low
rates of premium charged by this Corporation are taken into
consideration.

From time immemorlal 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 Stmco'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 nbt been able to lie
down in bed, hate received the utmost benefit, and others suf-
fering from Influenza have been speedily cured by this valuable
medicine.

SPECIAL COMMISSIONS.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Baron ALDERSON.)

SENTENCES ON THE PRISONERS.

Immediately after the sitting of the Court at nine
o'clock, the several prisoners, who had been previously
convicted, to the number of 20 or 30, were put for-
ward for sentence.

His LORDSHIP addressed them at considerabla
length, and with great ability, as follows :—He said,
you have all been convicted on very clear evidence of
having been engaged in riotous attacks on property
in the town of Manchester; and undoubtedly the of-
fence of which you, and others like you, have been
guilty, is one of a very serious nature. These things
are not now for the first time heard of in the
world ; and if people would but attend to those
things which have gone before, and would see what
consequences follow, and have followed, in former
instances, all attempts of this kind, even when
partially successful, they would see that the work-
ing classes do themselves the greatest injury by
entering into combinations and conspiracies, which
end in those riots of which we have had so many
cases here. Let us look a little to the history of
matters of this description. In a neighbouring county
not many years ago, there was an insurrection pre-
cisely like the recent one here—l mean in the manu-
facturing town of Lyons, in the kingdom of France.
In the year 1831, a large body of workmen in that
town insisted on getting particular wages, which it
was impossible, in the opinion of the masters, to give.
They published what they called a "tariff of wages."
They were successful ; but what was the effect ? The
working classes in 1831, at Lyons, resolved upon a
general turn-out, in order to obtain a uniform scale
of prices for their work, and before three years
were passed, their " tariff" proved to have V been
less than the improved state of trade enabled
the masters to offer; but it was hardly promulgated,
when the leading houses of Lyons, finding it impos-
sible to pay the prices, came to a determination to
stop their work. The consequence was, that thousands
of looms were left without employment. What then
followed ? Bitterness, anger, strife, resentment, in-
surrection, in the year 1834 ! Those who had begun
this state of things by the successful tariff of the
workmen in 1831 ended it in an open insurrection in
the streets of Lyons, in which the authorities were
put to flight ; the Prefect, who corresponded with the
Mayors in this country, was taken prisoner ; ten
thousand troops were brought into the town; the mob
were successful, they beat the soldiers back ; and.
what was the end ? Within a week after, the prin-
cipal insurgents were begging for work, the leaders
quitted Lyons, left their families to starve; all parties
concurred in replacing the authorities, and this
W:`3 the end of all the miseries which began
with the "tariff" in 1831 ; it ended in a suc-
cessful insurrection in 1834, leaving the parties
who originated it the most miserable of all the rest.
All this has happened in your life time. All this
would happen if you were permitted to be successful
in this country—worse, indeed, would happen in this
country; for the population here are more confined
together and thicker, and therefore they would suffer
greater misery. It becomes necessary, under these
circumstances, for the sake of yourselves, and persons
like you, that the law should interpose a remedy, in
order that, by the weapons of reason and authority, as
well as by the terrors and severity of punishment, we
may endeavour to suppress those crimes of which you
stand convicted on the present occasion.
William Lees, James Sheridan, George Turner,
Joseph Shaw, Richard Stacy, John Abbot, John
Smith, Suttcliff, Hill, Gilhbrand, Walker, and John-
son, were then sentenced by the Learned Judge to
periods of punishment, with hard labour, from fifteen
to nine months. John Tear, whose offence was of a
more serious kind,-and which has been fully given in
The Sun, was sentenced to he imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for two years, and that he give security
himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each, for
his good behaviour for two years after, and that he
be kept in gaol until his securities be forthcoming.
Twelve other prisoners had periods of imprisonment
and hard labour also awarded them.

RIOTS AND CONSPIRACIES AT VARIOUS PLACES.
Eleven prisoners were discharged on entering into
their own recognizances.
James Jones, Wm. Bell; Ambrose Hunt, and
Samuel Yardley, pleaded Guilty to a charge of riot
and conspiracy, and were ordered to be imprisoned at
Kirkdale for six calendar months, and at the expira-
tion of that time to enter into their own recognisances
in 1001., and two sureties in 251. each, to keep the
peace and be of good behaviour for two years.
This being the last of the cases for trial before
Baron Alderson, his Lordship discharged the Jury,
and left the Court at 12 o'clock.

MAGISTRATES ROOM.—TIIURSDAT.
(Before Mr. Justice CRESSIT ELL.)
The Judge entered the Court at a quarter past nine.

RIOT AND CONSPIRACY.

Joseph Hitchen, Joseph Mills, Ralph Wolfenien,
and John Wright, were indicted for a riot and con-
spiracy at a place called High Crompton, near Oldham.
The Jury found the prisoners guilty, but in conse-
quence of the previous good character of Wolfenden
and Wright, they were allowed to enter into recog-
nisances to appear when called on. Kitchener and
Mills were sentenced to be imprisoned twelve months,
and Hitehen bound over to keep the peace for two
years after the termination of his imprisonment.

men engaged in their lawful avocations, stopped t
mills, took out the plugs, and-even destroyed the work
of the owners who refused to stop their works. That
the country should have been exposed, even for a sin-
gle day, to such unheard-of tyranny,_ was a thing
almost without example. They would excuse some-
times the feelings of workmen who, on the invention of
new mnchinery, and though actuated by mistaken
folly, endeavoured to take vengeance on what was sup-
posed to he the cause of the loss of their labour ; but that
workmen should combine together, and, by a system
of organisation, assemble in large multitudes for the
purpo3e of suspending all labour, was an offence alto-
gether new, and so pregnant of evil, that he had no
conception of any man lending himself to it : and if
it had not been that he had reason to believe, from
what he had seen, that many of. the unfortunate
workmen had been urged on by those of deeper de-
signs. he should have thought hard any amount of
punishment too great for such an once. With re-
spect to David Taylor, Thomas Dyson, and James
Smith, the sentence of the Court was, that they
should he imprisoned and kept to hard labour for. the
space of one year. With respect to 'Townley, he
must sentence him to ten months' imprisonment with
hard labour—he limited it to ten months, solely on •
account of his you:h. With respect to James Taylor,
he was glad to find that the prosecutor was inclined to
do that which he (the Judge) felt ranch inclined to
do. It appeared that he was a hard-working indus-
trious man ; it was stated that his intellect was not
very strong,. that he had shiTtVit 0-eat piety to his
mother and his family; and he therefore acceded to
the proposition of the Attorney-General that he should
he discharged, after finding securities.

TRADE OF CALCUTTA.

Pursuing the subject of the trade of Bengal, in a
comparison of the periods commencing 1837-38, and
including 1841-42, it appears upon taking the aggre-
gate amounts both of imports and exports, that the
excess of value collectively is 13,82,37,314 Co.'s rs.
in flivour of the latter year. The trade connexions
of the Presidency with England, or rather the United
Kingdom, gives the value of imports in 1837-38 at
205,94,827 Co.'s rs., and in 1841-42 at 330,69,120
Co.'s rs., while the value of exports for these respec-
tive years are stated at 271,22,222 Co.'s rs., and
474,6.9,337 Co.'s rs. The trade with France for
these same periods is stated at 15,55,860 Co.'s rs. for
imports in 1837-38, and 22,42,864 Co.'s rs.
,for 1841-
42, and the exports are valued at 22,18,058 Co.'s rs.,
and 65,01,180 Co.'s rs. The trade with North America
shows the value of imports and exports of 1837-38 to
he 7,29,445 Co.'s rs., and 12,07,370 Co.'s rs. ; while
for 1841-42, they are stated at 18,52,204 Co.'s rs.,
and 29,88,582 Co.'s rs., though 1839-40 was the
maximum year for exports, when they reached
34,16,241 Co.'s rs. The trade of the Presidency
with China is naturally regarded with much inte-
rest ; and, therefore, more detail is furnished with
respect to that particular branch than others. Ac-
cording to these figures, the imports in 1837-38 were
valued at 67,34,036 Co.'s rs., and the exports at
205,43,781 Co.'s rs.; in 1838-39 the imports in-
creased to 84,22,695 Co.'s rs., but the exports de-
creased to 145,65,528 Co.'s rs.; in 1839.40 the
imports. suddenly decreased to 27,53,801 Co.'s rs.l
and the exports again decreased to 34.14,079 Co.'s,
rs. ; in 1840-41 the imports increased to 50,82,423
Co.'s rs., and the exports also advanced in
a corresponding degree to 61,12,839 Co.'s rs. ;
and, in 1841-42 the imports further rose to
61,02,418 Co.'s rs., and the exports to 99,21,286
Co.'s rs. These fluctuations prove most incontestably
the severe pressure the commercial interests have
sustained from the interruption to the trade occasioned
by the war with China, and which will fully account
for the difficulties the merchants connected with that
market have encountered. The trade with Singapore '
showed the value of imports for 1837-38, 29,26,593
Co.'s rs., and of exports, 31,75,814 Co.'s rs. ; while
for 184242, the imports are valued at 34,47,851 Co.'s
rs., and the exports at 57,54,189 Co.'s rs. The
trade with Penang and Malacca for 1837-38
showed the value of imports at 992,787 Co.'s
rs., and of exports, 652,305 CO.'s rs. ; and for
1841-42, the ralue of imports had decreased
to 863,543 Co.'s rs., and the exports to 491,020
Co.'s rs. The trade carried on with the Arabian and
Persian Gulfs showed a decrease in imports, but a
slight increase in exports, the former for 1837-38,
and 1841-42, being 12,34,745 Co.'s rs., and 7,95,381
Co.'s rs., while the latter were stated at 15,73,874 Co.'s
rs., and 18,68,396 Co.'s rs., respectively. The trade
with Ceylon showed the value of exports in 1837-38
to be 64,887 Co.'s rs., and in 1841-42 they were
249,090 Co.'s rs., but of imports no mention what-
ever is made. The trade on the Madras and the
Coromandel coast showed the imports in 1837-38 to be
in value 12,269,089 Co.'s rs., and in 1841-42 17,24,453
Co.'s rs., while for the same years the exports
are stated at 11,54,387 Co.'s rs., and 8,22,155
Co.'s rs. respectively. The trade with Bombay and
the Malabar coast showed as its results, imports in
1837-38 to the value of 17,15,377 Co.'s rs., and ex-
ports to the value of 27,71,221 Co.'s rs.; in 1839-40
the imports were 38,93,337 Co.'s rs., and the exports
22,26,116 Co.'s rs. ; and in 1841-42 the imports had
decreased to 14,34,739 Co.'s rs., and the exports
had risen to 30,57,326 Co.'s rs. The trade with
Pegu also showed a proportionate increase, the
imports in 1837-38 being 14,26,671 Co.'s rs., while
in 1841-42 they had advanced to 18,44,465 Co.'s rs. ;
the exports showed an equal advance, their value
for 1837-39 being 14,46,973 Co.'s rs., and for
1841-42, 18,61,501 Co.'s rs. The result of the trade
with the Mauritius is the last which it is thought ne-
cessary to detail, as the intercourse with South Ame-
rica, hamburgh, Bremen, Genoa, Sumatra, and
Java, Bourbon, Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena,
Manilla, New Zealand, and Aden, the other points of
Indian commerce, is of a limited character, and
would show no practical result, save as corroborative
of the general and progressive increase which, taking
it on the whole, is exhibited throughout the return.
Concluding, therefore, with the Mauritius, it is stated,
that the imports of that island in 1837-38 were
467,954, but this had declined in 1841-42 to 94,846
Co.'s rs. The exports for 1837-38 were 15,49,046
Co.'s rs.; and for 1841-42, 18,17,529.

As a finish to this analysis of the trade of Bengal,
it may be added, that whereas the collections at Cal-
cutta on imports in 1837-38 were 2,70,936 Co.'s rs.,
in 1641-42 they amounted to 51,45,760 Co.'s rs. The
India papers regret that no elucidation of the same
kind has yet been attempted with the periodical re-
turns of Bombay and Madras, since if such compari-
sons were in existence they could, it is said, be
brought into a compass, so as to give at one glance a
fair estimate of the progress of commerce in the three
Presidencies.

MADAME CATALA NI.

A notice of Catalani 'will always interest the pre.
ent generation in England. Mrs. Trollope, in her
I " Visit to Italy," has the following:—
" Instead of going as usual to the Casina after
dinner yesterday, I was taken a mile or two out of
Florence to pay a visit from which I promised myself
great pleasure, and received more. I went to see
Europe's whilom wonder and delight, Madame Catalani
Valabrique. . She is residing in a very beautiful villa
which stands in the midst of an extensive podere, of
which she is the owner. Nothing could be more amiable
than the reception she gave us. I think of all .the
nations who joined in the universal chorus in praise of
her high character, her charming qualities, and her un-
equalled talent, . she loves the English best . . . per-
hats they best understand her worth, and the rare
superiority of a mind that, in the midst of flattery
and adulation, which really • seem to have known. no
i limits, preserved all its simple purity and goodness
1 unscathed. I was equally Surprised and pleased to
see to what an extraordinary degree she had preserved
her l.eauty. her eyes and teeth are still magnificent
and I am told -that, when seen in evening full dress
by candlelight, no stranger can tee her for the
first time without inquiring who that charming-
looking woman is. A multitude of well-behaved
reasons would have prevented me, especially at this
my first introduction, from naming the very vehe-
ment desire I felt once more to hear the notes a a voice
that had so often enchanted me. Perhaps if I had
not seen her looking so marvellously young and hand-
some, the idea might. neither have seized upon . nor
tormented. me so strongly as it did ;_ but, as it was, I
certainly never longed more, perhaps never so much,
,to hear her sing as I now did. Her charming
daughter, Madame de V—, was sitting near me ;
atul 1 think I ventured to ask her if her mother
ever sang now.. 'l'o which she most gaily and
promptly answered in the affirmative . . . and
then . . . what happened next I hardly know. .I am
afraid that I must have said something about my
secret longings . . . for the daughter whispered to
the mother a few words, and in a moment Madame
Catalani was at the piano. . . . No, in her rely
best days she never smiled a sweeter smile than she
(lid then, as she - prepared to comply with the half
expressed wishes of a stranger, who lied no claim
upon her kindness but that of being an Englishwoman.
I know not what it was she sang; but scarcely had
she permitted her voice to swell into one of those
bravura passages of which her execution was very
peculiar, and so perfectly unequalled, than I felt as if
some magical process was being performed upon ire
which took me back again to something . . . . I
know riot what to call it . . . . which I had neither
heard nor felt for nearly twenty years. Involuntarily,
unconsciously, my eyes filled with tears, and I Mt fiti
much trnbartissed as a young lady of fifteen might
do, who suddenly found herself in the act of betray-
ing emotions which she was very far indeed from
wishing to display."

tUBLIC EDUCATION IN NAPLES.

(From the Foreign Quarterly Review.)
Whatever travellers may have found to extol in
Naples, all agree in placing it about the last in the
list of all the lands of Christendom, as far as public
education is concerned. Even Dr. Mayer has but
little to say on this score in favour of his Neapolitans,
who, he admits, are the most ignorant of all the Ita-
lians. For the -humbler classes there are no means of
education whatever, and the clergy, unable to judge
of the value of instruction from personal experience,
boldly declare mental cultivation mischievous to the
poor. Those in easy circumstances are but little bet-
ter instructed. Their education is in a great measure
confined to the enforcement of a certain set of reli-
gious observances ; to the acquisition of a few agree-
able accomplishments, such as music and verse-making;
and to an outward polish of manners. So long as all
colleges and schools, public and private, are under the
control of a Giunta Istruzione Publics, composed
almost exclusively of Neapolitan clergyman, an im-
provement of the system is hardly to be hoped for.

There are in Naples probably from ninety to one
hundred thousand boys and girls between the ages of
five and eighteen. Of these, from fotir to five thou-
sand are supposed to receive some sort of instruction.
In the provinces the proportions are even less favour-
able. Two thousand girls, Galena calculates, visit
some school or other; but of these two thousand, less
than a fifth, he says,-are even taught to read ; their
teachers, in many cases, being themselves unequal to
the task of imparting this elementary branch of in-
struction. The children, in fact, are sent to school,
merely to be out of their parents' way; and if they
learn to knit and sew, it is generally as much as is
expected. .
There is in the whole kingdom of Naples but one
school which even professes to prepare young men for
the university.; and this school, the Real Lice() del
Salvatore, contains about one hundred and fifty pupils.
The demands made upon a Neapolitan scholar are,
however,-extremely moderate. Greek is taught only
nominally, and is not thought requisite even in a cler-
gyman. In Latin the students acquiregreat fluercy ;
a circumstencenot be wondered at when the affinity
between the two languages is taken into account.
Mathematics are also taught at the Lyceum with much
success. history is in a most deplorable position,
being made entirely subservient to theology. The
Neapolitan colleges are, for the most part, academies
attached to monasteries, and superintended by monks.
The Collegio di San Sebastian°, conducted by the
Jesuits, enjoys by far the best name. It contains
usually about five hundred pupils, and has a reputa-
tion for mathematics even beyond that of the Liceo.
The lyceums and colleges of the provincial towns
have rarely any existence but in the State calender ;
;inquire after one of them, and you seldom find any
thing but a mere elementary school.
The. University of Naples was founded by Frede-
rick TI., in 1224. To this university fifty-two pro-
fessors are attached; six for theology, fourteen, for
physical and mathematical science, sixteen for medi-
cine, eight for jurisprudence, and eight for philosophy
and literature. The small number of theological
professorships is easily accounted for by the fact that
the young men for the church are mostly educated at
the archiepiscopal seminary, or Seminario Urbano.
Theology, however, is wretchedly taught at both in-
stitutions. The teachers are watched with the most
anxious vigilance ; are obliged to confine themselves
to a most rigid line of orthodoxy ; and have no op-
portunity of varying their lectures, except by an oc-
casional invective against heretics, or a humourous ac-
count of certain imaginary tenets which they fancifully
ascribe to the barbarous Protestants of the north. The
mathematical and physical sciences are sufficiently
well taught. The same remark will apply to medi-
cine ; the various hospitals and charitable institutions
forming excellent schools for the students. Ore abo-
minable abuse, however, prevails; that, namely, of
granting medical diplomas to ignorant monks, who
have indeed to undergo an examination, but a much
less rigid one than the lay students. History, philo-
logy, and philosophy are in a melancholy condition.
There is a Hebrew professor attached to the univer-
sity ; and this man, anxious to have at least one pupil,
issaid for several years to have had a poor priest to at-
tend his class. The fact is that a clergyman suspected
of reading the Scriptures either in Greek or Hebrew,
is lOoked upon with great jealousy, and his orthodoxy
is held to be none of the soundest.
The number of holidays are alone a said interrup-
tion to every kind of study. Thursday is a holiday
in all Italian schools, unless a church festive_ happen
in the week. Then there is a vacation of three weeks
at Easter, and one of four months in autumn,_ begin-
ning on the 4th of July. However, public i
education,
such as it is, costs noth;ng, which is about its ntrinsisi
value. Each professor is bound to give one lesson
daily. This lesson is public, and free
_ to all who
choose to come. The lesson lasts half an hour, and
consists usually of a discourse hrld by the professor ;
the students listening with decorous silence, but
without attempting to take any note of their teacher's
remarks. At the conclusion of the lecture, the
students applaud, clapping their hands or knocking
with their books or canes. The professors are
i‘Teteliedly paid. Fifty ducati (about ten guineas)
a year they receive for their lectures, besides
a trifling salary of three or four hundred du e caFew
have more than six hundred ducati in all for their
public services. Upon such an income, of course.,
they cannot subsist. They are obliged to eke out
their means by giving private lessons, and in those
private lessons it is that the students receive the little
instruction that falls to their share. The university
is attended nominallyby twelve or fifteen hundred
students ; but professors and students are both equally
irregular in their attendance, and nothing like an
effective control is ever attempted. When the student
comes to take his degree,._
sisted. on is the only point rigidly in;
certificate of regular attendance at
church. On this subject of education we need only
add, that a military and a naval school exist at Naplee,
but are entitled in their way to very little higher
praise than the UniVersita or the Liceo.

eXUSII OF SUDDEN DEATII.—At an inquest hell
on Tuesday, before Mr. Higgs, Deputy Coroner for
Westminster, on the body of a lady who died in a
very sudden manner, the Coroner, in alluding to the
cause (f sudden death, said that in all his experience
of Coroner for the last twenty-three years, he never
recollected holding an inquest on a medical man who
died suddenly, and had but rarely heard of any one
dying in a sudden manner. This he thought arose
from their knowing the value of aperient medicine,
and,
by taking them regularly, keeping the body in
a proper state. Ajuror said that in some cases of
sudden (bath a verdict of " Died by the visitation of
,
God' was returned, whilst in others " Natural death"
svas recorded ; he should like to know what difference
there was between them. The Coroner said, very
little; but he thought that in all cases where death
was very sudden, without any previous illness, "Died
by the visitation of God" was the most pro?"
verdict
to be returned,
