pay for consigning to the dungeons of Doullens a writer
of the independent press of Paris, as a moral conspirator.
A cross of honour for each head crushed by the hydra
of the press—such is the Ministerial offer. Who wants
a cross ? The Procureur-General must have expected
something lbetter. A mere star and cross is not pay
enough for having invented a new crime, which brings
down condemnation, and requires no proof of moral crime.
Richelieu paid Laubardement better ; he may have des-
pised him, but he enriched him. Why not enrich
M. Hebert ? Deutz got 400,000£ for betrayine, the
Duchess of Berry? Why, then, give so little as a riband to
the lawyer that has caunht, Dupoty ? An orator like
Hebert is not to be had every day, who perorates
so freely his criminal rhetoric, and who leads his audi-
tors through a, series of clap-traps and fear-traps, lulling
them with sounds of the scaffold, and with flowers of
eloquence all savouring of blood. This is not to be bought
by a riband, but with gold. He would have preferred a
useful grain of millet. We saw yesterday a veteran of
our armies, who tore off his cross, att dashed it on the
ground with disdain, exclaiming, " Never will I wear it
again ; I might be mistaken for the Procureur-General
Hebert.' "

The Department of Finance has just published the
statements of the amount of the receipts of the indirect
taxes in 1841, compared with that of 1839 and 1840.
The following is the general summary ;
The first nine months of 1840 show an increase of
43,525,000 f. above the same period of 1839. The last
quarter shows an increase of 14,759,000 f. above the last
quarter of 1839 ; total -increase 50,284,000 f. The re-
ceipts in 1840 having exceeded that of 1839, the increase
in 1841 above 1840 is 33,038,000 f.

causes.

In the case of Harding v. Johnson, a verdict was re-
turned for the plaintiff, in consequence of the absence of
the defendant's attorney. At the request of Mr. Hug-
gins, who appeared as Counsel for the defendant, a short
delay was granted, while the Usher went to the differ-
ent Courts to seek the attorney. On his return, how-
ever, no attorney made his appearance, and the verdict
was consequently entered for the plaintiff.
In another case, in consequence of the absence of the
attorney for the plaintiff, while the defendant was ready,
the Counsel for the plaintiff was obliged to withdraw the
record.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET:
(THIS DAY.)
A sturdy looking young man, who gave the name of
Charles Smith, but who was identified by the police as
having been before in custody in the name of Godfrey,
was placed at the bar on suspicion of burglary.
Frederick Errington, footman in the service of Mr.
Richard Bentley, of No. 8, New Burlington-street, Re-
gent-street, the publisher, stated that between seven
and eight o'clock last evening, as he was entering the
hall from the lower part of the house, he saw the pri-
soner ascending the drawing-room staircase in a very
stealthy manner, and stepping as softly as he could. On
reaching the first landing-place he took up a lamp that
stood burning in a niche, and proceeded to the drawing-
room, and opening with great caution one of the folding-
doors entered and raising the lamp was examining around
him, when witness pounced in and seized him by the
collar. He at first made a show of resistance, but finding

THE THIEVES INFESTING WHARVES IN THE CITY.

The ward of Dowgite made a presentment to the effect
that a very serious nuisance arose from the multitude of
thieves who attended one of the wharfs on the Thames,
and suggested the propriety of removing the nuisance as
speedily as possible through the means of the. police.
Alderman HUMPHERY said that the owners of wharfs
at which steamers landed profited immensely
.by the
traffic, and were bound to protect the public against the
thieves by employing officers of their own.—(Hear, hear.)
Alderman COPELAND was quite of the same opinion.
The petition was refered to the Police Committee.

IVIICELLANEOUS.
Sir Robert Peel, at the Mansion-house banquet on Mon-
day, paid a high compliment to the Lady Mayoress, who
stood, as he expressed himself, " at the head of the
female society in the City of London;" and, speaking of
the benevolent Mrs. Fry, who sat at his left hand, he
observed, " Her presence would do honour to any com-
pany: she had visited the abodes of vice and misery, and
done all in her power to alleviate human suffering, and
diminish contagion."

RUMOURS 01' THE DAY.
It is confidently rumoured in the diplomatic circles,
that Prince Ferdinand, consort of her Majesty the Queen
of Portugal, has been invited to be present at the ap-
proaching Royal christening, and that his Serene High-
ness is daily expected in London.

The Morning Post is, we believe, mistaken
in supposing that the descriptions it has quoted
of the condition of the factory labourers under
tbrmer Tory Governments is causinc, great
chagrin in the Anti• Corn-law party. All who
wish well to the labourers are glad to see the
Tories take that view, though they are very
sensible that it is only taken now, for the first
time, as a means of warding off an attack on
the Corn-laws. There is no intention of benefit-
ing the people; but they will be benefited by
the confession implied in the Tory charges, that
they are not as well off as they ought to be. At
the same time, the Post must be very ignorant
if it be not aware that pictures equally dark
could be drawn of the condition of the peasantry,
and on better authority than Mr. Gaskill's book.
The Report of the Poor-law Commissioners teems
with passages indicative of distress, misery, and
immorality in the agricultural districts. There
is a great probability that the condition of the
labouring classes will be permanently improved,
now that the different parties accuse each other
of having treated them ill.

'The evidence of the surgeon was very unfavourable to
the prisoner's account of the affair. The prisoner said,
he was cleaning a gun, which lay on a round table, by the
side of which the deceased sat sewing. The discharge
entered her chest, making a wound of an inch and a half
in diameter, internally wounding and lodging a splinter
of bone in the courts of the heart, and fracturing the 3d,
4th, sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth ribs. Doctor Daemt, surgeon,
of the 6th Inniskillen Dragobns, said it was a literal im-
possibility for such a wound and its consequences to be
produced by a gun. The Jury summed up at great
length, and the Jury, at half-past nine, returned a ver-
dict of" Wilful Murder against Ezra Steapenhill." The
prisoner, on hearing the sentence, seemed greatly dis-
tressed, and covered his face with his hinds.

FROM TFIT::. 2‘I7RN6IG.VAPERS OF SATURDAY.
CHRONICLE.—The proposal made on-the part
of the Mexican Goternment to equalize the rights of
their creditors are, we believe, that the arrears for the
year
39,
sflroBmthe Ist of October, 1837, to the lit of Oc-
tober,should be abandoned, as no revenue for
customs was obtained during those years ; that the
coupons from the Ist of October, 1839, to the Ist of
October, 1841, should be postponed until paid off gra-
dually by the surplus expected out of the one-fifth part
of the custom revenues to be assigned for the
dividends, instead of one-sixth, and an additional
allowance out of the custom-houses of the Pacific ;
that those who received custom-house certificates
for 1838 and 1839 should give up their coupons for
1842 and 1843, so as to place themselves on a foot-
ing of equality with those who have received nothing
for the last four years, all current dividends to be paid
after October, 1841. The appropriation of a specific
portion of these revenues to. the discharge of their
obligations to the bondholders is creditable to Mexico ;
but there appears to be no small degree of complexity
in adjusting the claims of their creditors on an equitable
footing, according to the plan proposed. Some of their
creditors received payment of two years' interest in
exchange for eu4toinehouse certificates, and others did
not avail thems•slves of that mode of payment; so
that to the first there are two years due, and four
years to the second. To equilise this difference, it is
proposed that the econd c:ass should stand postponed
for their two years' dividends to come, and on the other
hand, that those who have got nothing at all should be
contented with a postponed claim for their coupons
during the last two years, and abandon all claim to the
coupons of the years 1837 to 1839. Those who re-
ceived payment of their two years' interest in custom-
house certificates would still be better off this way,
than the creditors to whom no payment has been made
for four years, who are called upon to give up their
claims for the coupons cf 1838 and '183',) altogether,
and to take a distant and postponed claim for those of
1839 and 1841. Bat, then, to make up for these
drawbacks they are to receive their dividends f0r•1842
and 1843, while those who received payment of .1838
and 18;19 are to be posponed, on the other hand, to
abandon, we presume, their coupons for the two next
years, io the same way as the others are asked to do
for the last named.

" A Titan destroyed by Jupiter with a Thunder-

bolt"--the boldness and vigour of execution dii-
played in this design is truly astonishing. The
vanquished "giant is Writhing-beneath the irie7,
sistible.power,of the bolt which )34; 40 riea him;
to earth, and in his rage and madness ,is endea-
vouring to launch a huge rock at the Deity who
has thus coerced him. The convulsed working
of his massive limbs, whose muscles are twisted
and knotted, like so many snakes, convey a pro-
digious idea of physical capability. No. 169,
" Tityus in Torture"—the expression of extreme
agony is forcibly depicted in this Gem, which
represents the giant chained to a precipice, his
head flung back, and two ravenous vultures
pecking at his heart, which—according to:the
' old legend—grew again as fast as it was deVoured7
The countenance of Tityus looks quite swollen
and distorted from the intensity of his suffering.
No. 66, " A Head of Jupiter"—there is an air
of august dignity and repose in this striking
countenance, which %vill instantly remind the
reader of an emphatic passage in one of the
finest hymns of Callimachus.—Such is a brief,
hurried notice of some of the Gems that have
most struck us in this unique collection. The
Series is one that is sure to attract attention, if
only from the magic power of association, for
who is there that has not, at one period or other
of his lite, been charmed with the glorious
poetic legends and mythological fancies of
old Greece ? and who will not delight to
find these, perhaps half-forgotten idealisms, re-
vived in all their freshness and beauty in his
mind, by their embodiment in this most attrac-
tive of all forms ? When the professional du-
ties of the day are at an end, and the overtasked
mind feels the necessity of some fitting relaxa-
tion, which while it furnishes the means of
amusement, is at the same time suggestive of
1
instructive hints, we can conceive no greater
pleasure—and in this, people of all grades and
professions may take part with equal zest—than
to pore over such a cabinet of Gems as the one

itow before us. On a social winter evening, in a
well-lighted drawing-room, here May be found
certain and abundant recreation, amid the pauies
of the dance, when conversation has begun to
flag, or the senses have had their fill of music.
From time to time, as leisure and opportunity
permit, we may be tempted to return to the
consideration of this graceful collection of Me-
dallions.

LONDON:
MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1842.

The strong langunge used by Mr. SrEvErisox,
which we quoted on Saturday, 2.nd the almost
equally strong language of the American PRET
SI DENT'S Message, preclude the possibility of
supposing that the United States will subthit to
our clai aof visiting their vessels. At the same
time, the language used by Lord PALMER -
STUN,- and adhered to in substance by Lord
ALETD:r.r.-a. in his letter to Mr. STEVENSON, pre-
cludes the possibility of supposing that England
can, without dishonour, recede from her claim
to examine any American vessels, which her
naval officers may tosuspicion. Lord
ABERDEEN said—

" it has been the invariable practice of the British
navy, and, as the undersigned believes, of all the.navies in
the world, to ascertain by visit the rednationality of mer-
chant vessels met with on the high seas, if there be good
reason to apprehend their illegal character. In certain la-
titudes, and for a particular object, the vessels are vi-
sited not as Aticrican, but either as British vessels
engaged in an milawful traffic, and carrying the flag of
tho United States for a criminal purpose, or as be-
longing to States which have by treaties conceded to
qicat lint:tin the - right of search, and which right it
is attempted. to defeat by fraudulently. bearing the flag
of the Union or, finally, they are visited as piratical
• outlaws, possessing no claim to any flag or nationality
whatevsr.
The Noble Lord then proce2ds to discuss the
possibility of Mr. STVENAON maintaining that
England ought to allow her own subjects, or the
subjects of other States with which she has con-
cluded treaties to defeat her laws, and asserts,
that " unless Mr. STEVENSON can maintain
these propositions the whole fabric of his
argument falls to the ground." England,
therefore, is resolved to maintain, as the
Times positively asserts, the right of visiting
every ship showing American colours, in certain
latitudes, which the officers of her MAJESTy's
ships may regard wiLli suspicion, and or making
the captain of that ship prove her nationality,
and prove that she is navigavd according to the
laws of the United States. The United States
is equally resOved to resist the exercise of that
right, and the con+licting niews of the statesmen
of the two countries threaten such serious con-
sequences that we must again revert to the
Subject.

This question involves a war between the two
countries, by which the industrious people alone,
as is well known, suffer, and of which they pav
all the ponalties. Statesmen and military men
who who urge it on, and naval enptains who implicate
the country by their intemperate zeal, may gain
honour and glory by conducting it or carrying it
on; and they never have such strong motives as
the industrious classes for avoiding, the cala-
mities of war. The people, then, 113119 t exa-
mine this question, and must express an epttoun

gropont (Eubcea), a certain sum is to be paid down to

a guarantee of interest at 8 per cent. until the final pay-
meet of all their claims, which is to take place within
two years. • •

BARR'S LIFE PILLS.
TO THE PUBLIC.
No sooner is a Medicine well established in public favour
than a host of imitators arise, who, for the sake of gain, n7t
only wrong the Proprietors of the genuine Medicine, but inflict
a serious injury on the unwary purchaser of their base counter-
feit trash. These observations apply with increased effect to
the Medicine which is now so well known as " PARR'S
LIFE PILLS." This famous remedy has been established
by undoubted proofs of its efficacy, and by a mass of evidence
and testimonials which no other medicine ever yet called forth.
These facts have had the effect of producing a very large sale
—more than 15,000 boxes per week. When this large sale
came to the knowledge of some unprincipled persons, they, for
the sake of gain to themselves, and reckless of the injury it may
do to others, attempted to foist on the incautious various
imitations, supported by statements which exhibit the most un-
blushing effrontery. In order that purchasers may be able to de-
tect thrse frauds, care must be taken to look at the Government
Stamp pasted round each box, and be sure it has the words
" Parr's Life Pills," in white letters on a red ground, engraved
therein, and forms part of the stamp ; also that the name of
" Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London," is printed, as Whole-e
sale Agent, on the directions wrapped round each box.
Ask for " Parr's Life Pills," and inquire for the little book
containing the Life of Old Parr, thirty-two pages, with engrav-
ings, also the numerous testimonials, which may be had gratis
an application of all agents and respectable venders throughout
the United Kingdom.
As a proof of their efficacy the Proprietors refer,to thelollow-
ing Extraordinary Cure of Confirmed Asthma selected from
hundreds of a similar nature :

Mrs. Joseph Simpson has been severely afflicted, for the iast
thirty years, with a violent cough and difficulty of breathing.
The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her
usual domestic obligations. 'She took cold when only fifteen
years old, and the cough never left her till she took Parr's Lifo
Sho had tried almost every kind of medicine, and had
taken laudanum in large quantities, but nothing afforded relief.
She heard of Parr's Pills about last Christmas, and as soon
as she had taken about half a box she found herself completely
cured, and was never afflicted in the slightest manner during
the severe weather that followed, and is now better in health
than she has ever been in her life.

This cure does indeed appear miraculous • but for the satis-
faction of the most incredulous, she has kindly consented to an-
swer any inquiries, either by personal application or by letter,
addressed to Mrs. Joseph Simpson, Church-hill Close, Old
Lenton, near Nottingham.
The medicine is sold wholesale by appointment of the pro-
prietors by Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London, in boxes at Is. lid.,
2s. 9d., and 1 is. each.
