" Much as the tabular form of this work, as a new and per-
spicuous arrangement of the subject, deserves credit, we
think the observations and notes by no means inferior in
merit. The author has compressed into a compact form,
wi,hout any injudicious or injurious brevity, the whole body of
criminal law, carefully digesting all the leading and ruling
ems. As a book of easy and prompt reference, it will be
found highly useful for Magistrates or professional men en-
gaged in the dispensing of criminal justice."—Justice of

SODA WATER.
ROUGLISEDGE 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-
c.)urso 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. B.
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, on the results of the most searching chemical
analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand
for them by the public, both at home and 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 for 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,
erson, Derby,
having the gh
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
for their own mutual profit. Whether the waters since
manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and Co.
retain the quality which acquired for 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-
fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma-
nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear
their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi-
cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning
wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing 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.
RouGnsEDGE and SUMMERS only desire such patronage
as may be deserved from the /Erated Waters produced
at their own manufactory, and sold under the labels of
their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Bristol.

AFFAIR OF HONOUR—BOTH PARTIES WOUNDED.
Wednesday morning; at 5 o'clock, a hostile meeting (and which
terminated by both parties being wounded, one severely) took
place on Putney-heath, between Alexander Pollington, Esq.,
residing at Barossa Villa, St. John's-wood, Regent's-park, and
Augustus James Tankerfield, Esq., residing in Upper Glou-
cester-place, Dorset-square, Regent's Park. At five minutes
before five o'clock both parties, accompanied by their seconds,
arrived on the ground, Mr. T. in a cabriolet, and Mr. P. in a
chariot. The distance, sixteen paces, being measured, the
hostile parties took up their posi ions and fired, Mr. Pollington re-
ceiving the contents of his antagonist's pistol in the left groin,
and Mr. T. that of Mr. P. slightly in the pistol arm, above
the elbow. A surgeon being in attendance, extracted the ball
from out of the wound of Mr. Pollington, and he was re-
moved home in the chariot. The wound of Mr. T. being
slight, it was bound up, and he, accompanied by'The his
me frieetinds,
immediately afterwards quitted the ground. ng
arose from a political dispute, relative to a recent investigation
of some elections befora the Committees of the House of
commons.

ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE.
The meeting commenced yesterday shortly after 12
o'clock.
The CHAIRMAN said the Conference and the country
were in a singular position with the Government. They
told the Government that the people were starving by
thousands—they replied that they knew it. They
asked them if they were prepared with a remedy—they
answered that they were not. They asked them if
they would allow the distressed people to exchange the
products of their industry for food—they replied, " No."
They asked them if they would take into consideration the
means of remedying the distress—the answer was a re-
fusal. And yet the party who refused to provide a
remedy, and were determined to leave the people to
starve, shrunk when the term murder was applied to
their conduct.—(Hear.)
" You take my house when you do take
The prop that doth sustain my houie ;
You take my life when you do take
The means whereby I live."
He trusted that the Conference would now begin to call
things by their right names, undeterred by the effect
which the use of such names might produce on the House
over the way.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN then read a letter from Mr. Dee, of
Stratford, suggesting measures for the adoption of the
Conference. He also read the following letters :
Warrington, July 19, 1842.
I can assure you that we regard with deep interest the pro-
ceedings of the Conference, believing, as we do, that if its la-
bours are not successful, the most alarming results may be an-
ticipated during the coming winter. Hitherto Warrington lass
happily been in a much better condition than many of the sur-
rounding districts, but still it has suffered much, and there is
every reason to believe that the distress will considerably in-
crease. The poors'-rates are much higher, poverty abounds,
one of our large manufacturers have failed, and the shopkeepers
are suffering greatly. It is to be hoped that the Liberal Mem-
bers of the House of Commons will not allow the fear of being
designated " factious " to deter them from taking every means
in their power to force the Government to do justice to the
people. Surely this is not a time for hesitation or half mea-
sures when multitudes are starving, tradesmen being ruined,
arid when the peace of the country is in jeopardy ! The Con-
ference has done its work nobly. May the best success crown
your efforts. Believe me to be, my dear Sir, very sincerely
yours, PETER RYLANDS.
George Thompson, Esq.
Beaminster, July 20, 1842.
Dear Sir,—ln my letter to you of the 16th instant, inserted
in the Morning Chronicle of the 19th, I am made to say, that
" if the manufacturing and the agricultural labourers will join
them," &c.
I wish it to be distinctly known that I am no physical-force
man; if the people are united I believe we can obtain the aboli-
tion of all monopolies by constitutional means, and I consider
it will he a great calamity to all classes (and especially to my
class, who are entirely dependent on social order), if unfortu-
nately the lower orders should be driven by the monopolists to
the last extremity. If you will cause this to be inserted in the
Morning Chronicle I should feel much obliged.
I am, Sir, yours faithfully,
To P. A. Taylor, Esq. JOSEPH TITE.
Beaminster, July 20, 11342.
P.S. Since writing to you last we have had two fires in this
neighbourhoodene at Abington, near Bridport, which de-
stroyed eleven heuses and a stable, and this morning a long
range of buildings belonging to Miss Dunning, of this place,
was destroyed. No doubt but both was the work of incen-
diaries, and we were sorry to see the indifference manifested
by the lower class. All the property was insured in the Sun
Fire Office.
The following circular was read in corroboration of
the statement :
A Circular has been issued to its agents in the country by an
Insurance Office, stating-
1. That it had lately lost by agricultural insurances.
2. That it feared increased losses by such insurances.
3. Attributes this to incendiary fires and danger from the
disaffection of the people.
4. It urges its agents to take as little business as possible on
agricultural produce, and to be careful in inquiry into the cha-
racter of any one wishing to make agricultural insurances.
Whether the person holds an office or any position unpopular
with the people.
Whether he be a harsh and cruel master, &c.
TO P. H. HOWARD, ESQ., 31. P. FOR CARLISLE.
Anti-Corn-law Association, Carlisle, July 18, 1842.
At. a meeting of the members of this association, called by
circular, this evening, Mr Sheffield in the chair, it was unani-
mously resolved :
I. 'f That the thanks of this Association are due to the Anti-
Corn-law Conference, for calling the attention of the Carlisle
constituency of P. H. Howard, Esq., during the recent debate
on Mr. Villiers's motion, for an inquiry with a view to the
repeal of the present Corn-laws.
2. That the ;Members of this Association being firmly per-
suaded that the entire repeal of the Corn and Provision-lads can
alone afford that adequate relief the depressed state of trade and
the miseries of the labouring population imperiously demand,
pledge themselves not to vote tor, or support, any candidate
I who is not prepared to support an entire repeal of these unjust
laws, and further pledge themselves not to relax in their endea-
vours until their just and righteous object be accomplished.
3. That this meeting, participating in the alarm generally
felt in the manufacturing districts, for the peace of the country,
should the present Parliament separate before providing effec-
tual means of relief, earnestly intreat our representatives, P. H.
Howard, Esq., and William Marshall, Esq., not to desert their
posts at this ipresent awful and alarming crisis, and to offer
every possible opposision to the taxation of a prostrate people.
ter the purposes of a bread-taxing aristocracy, by argument
and other constitutional impediments, that the wheels of Go-
vernment may be arrested through the rejection or prevention
of all votes of supply.
4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to our represen-
tatives, and to the Conference in London.
a. That Mr. J. Carrick be appointed a Deputy to the Con
ference now sitting in London.
t. Signed on behalf of the Association)
THOMAS SHEFFIELD, Chairman.

To P. A. Taylor, Esq.
Anti-Corn-law Association, Carlisle, July 19, 1842.
Dear Sir,—A general meeting of the members of this Asso-
ciation took place last evening in the Town-hall. Only one
feeling pervaded the meeting, that was disgust at the conduct
of an unfeeling Legislature, who denies to starving thousands
the right of feeding themselves. Several resolutions were
passed, of which we send you a copy. Mr. Carrick may be
expected on Friday. Respectfully,
J. D. CANN.

TO P. A. TAYLOR, ESQ., CHAIRMAN OF THE ANTI-CORN-LAW
CONFERENCE.
The enclosed rate of wages, and price of previsions were sent
me, in a letter dated the 20th of June last, by my brother-in-
law, Mr. Isaac Becher, of Stark county, Ohio. The calcula-
tions I have made, arising out of the facts it contains, will at
once, I am sure, show the propriety of a free and unrestricted
trade with the United States, and the absolute necessity of a
repeal of our Corn and Provision-laws. The people of Ohio
are anxiously desirous of exchanging their provisions for our
hardware, cutlery, broadcloths, &c. &c. Mr. B. reports the
prospect of an abundant harvest all over the Western States.
I am, with great respect, yours, respectfully,

Mr. CRABTREE saiJ, as one of a deputation from the
shopkeepers of Todmorden, he came to town for the pur-
pose of laying before the Government the awful state of
that district. He had had many opportunities of
mixing with the people, and he could state, from
his own knowledge, that employment was ra-
pidly diminishing, and the condition of the people
continually becoming worse. If nothing were done
to alleviate the distresses of the people, the most dire
consequences might be expected in the ensuing winter.l
He could not r.eglect to raise his voice in behalf of his
suffering Ownsmen. The following statement in
reference to the relief of the Ivor, afforded
some evidence of the increasing distress :—" Paid
poor in 1839, 4701. 75. lod., 105 families ; paid
poor in 1840, 5541. 9s. I Id., 177 families; paid poor in
1841, 8831. 65., 264 families."
Mr. MOORE asked of Mr. Crabtree if he could state
whether there was any actual
done by the shopkeepers ?
Mr. CRABTREE said,
should say that not decrease in the business
that from his own experience, he
half the business was done now
which had been done in former ',years. His own

letter from a merchant at New Orlearts:---
" The reports as to the condition of the growing
crops in the interior are riost favourable. The cotton
plant is healthy, and we are led to look for early re-
ceipts, and a superior quality. The sugar cane is most
promising ; and we wish we could add, that the :lite-
. .

ration in the British Corn-laws had been of that nature

to allow the industrious agricultural population of

some of our back States to have placed a greater
breadth of their now idle though rich lands under

cultivation. Unfortunately, no such inducements arc
held out by an uncertain and varyino•. duty. The new
Corn-law of England must act disadvantageously on
distant markets, and throw all the favourable oppor-
tunities for importing grain into the hands of the more
contiguous speculators. Our farmers see themselves not
only deprived of what is to all a familiar, and to many
a native market, but are also debarred from drawing
thence the supplies they are most in need of, but fur
which an adverse policy will permit no exchange."
Wheat coming down to New Orleans has been
refused by the consignee, on account of charges.
In answer to Mr. Wallace's motion, Sir R. Peel said that
. .

the effect of the inquiry would be to add agricultural to
manufacturing distress. But had not Sir R. Peel heard
of agricultural distress ? Did he not know, that in ad-
dition to the manufacturing distress, the country was
near being. overwhelmed with agricultural distress ?
(Mr. 'Wilson here read an extract from the Report

Of Mr. Weale, the Assistant-Commissioner of Poor-laws,
from which it appeared that there was more pauperism
in the agricultural than in the manufacturing districts.)
In the union of Aston. which was agricultural, the poor-
rates, according to Mr. Weale, were 7s. Bd. per head,
whereas iu Birmingham they were only 3s. Bd. In the
agricultural counties the proportion of paupers relieved
last year was (to the whole population), in
Bedford ll per cent. Sussex

In a debate on the Corn-laws in the year 1770, as
given in Cavendish's " Unreported Debates," the Hon.
Thomas Townshend said they were not ripe for it.
Burke said—" In my opinion we are ripe for the question,
but we are rotten. There is no such thing as the landed
interest separate from the trading interest. What God
has joined together, let no man separate. He who se-
parates the interests of the consumer from the interests
of the grower, starves this country." In 1834
the Marquis of Chandos said he was afraid that the
agricultural labourers would feel a temptation to com-
mit crime in the hope of intimidating the farmers, and
forcing them to increase their wages. Now he (Mr.
W.) was afraid that such a state of things was coming
again. It was a state of things to be lamented ; but it
was owing to the ignorance in which the aristocracy had
kept the population for so many years.—(Hear, hear.)
They saw, in different parts of the world, that where
commerce and manufactures flourished, the aristocracy
flourished, and vice versa. In Germany, in the town of
Augsburg, that great city where the nobles
met, and where everything was sumptuouk; yet,
in that neighbourhood now, from the abselice of
commerce, the palaces were ruined towers, and many of
them were post-houses, or barracks for soldiers. It ap-
pared to him (Mr. Wilson) that if Sir R. Peel was
anxious to relieve the agricultural distress, that the best
means of doing so was by relieving the distress of the ma-
n u fac turers.—(Hear.) After all that they had heard at that
Conference, he (Mr. Wilson) thought that this country
would yet rise higher in a commercial point of view than
it had ever yet attained. But there was only one course
by which that could be accomplished, viz., that the fet-
ters of commerce should be set free. Mr. Granville had
said that those who interfered with free trade inter-
fered with one man mutually supplying the wants of
his neighbour. He (Mr. 'Wilson) thought that the un-
precedented success which had attended that cause gave
them every reason to hope. Those who reflected on
what was the state of the public mind in the metropolis
two years ago must congratulate themselves on
' the change which had taken place. When
they heard Sir Robert Peel saying that he
would be obliged to do something contrary to the
wishes of his friends ; and when they heard him com-
plain that his friends would not let him do more, there
could be no cause for despondency. They found upon
Mr. Villiers' motion men of the late Cabinet vot-
ing for it ; and they found the Tory .Baronets,
the representatives of an agricultural county,
voting for that motion, which had for its object
the total repeal of the Corn-laws. When they found
on all hands the necessity of doing something acknow-
ledged, he said, that instead of giving way to despon-
dency, they had every reason to congratulate themselves
on the position of the question, and to have confidence as
to their future prospects. He knew how much this question
had been mooted in the late Cabinet by a Noble Lord,
and the exertions he made amongst his colleagues to
induce them to bring forward some measure on this sub-
ject.. Ile was exceedingly sorry to refer distastefully to
any step taken by the Noble Lord, but he must say that he
never was so much astonished, as at finding that Lord J.
Russell had altered his position in the House of Com-
mons in voting for the motion for inquiry with a view to
the total repeal of the Corn-laws, and in three days
afterwards deserting his place in the House of Commons,
to be heard of no more during the session.—(Hear,
hear.) He (Mr. Wilson) had not heard of anything
which had grieved him personally more than this, from
the respect he bore for the Noble Lord for his exertions
in advancing the question of free trade. Ile must
say that it pained him exceedingly, after the Noble
Lord had given such symptoms of his conversion to
total repeal, to run away from his place only three
day afterwards, when Parliament had to remain four or
five weeks. He (Mr. Wilson) meant not to have detained.
them so long, but he did not wish it to go forth to the
country that there was a feeling of antagonism to the
agricultural classes in the League. They could not flourish
unless all flourished, and the prosperity of the agricul-
turists depended on the prosperity of the commercial.
and manufacturing districts of the country ; and he be-
lieved that this was the only feeling which actuated the
manufacturing classes.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said he would just make one obser-
vation before he called on the next speaker, upon
a point which had fallen from Mr. Wilson, in alluding
to an observation of Sir James Graham, that the
repeal of the Corn-laws would only add agricul-
tural distress to manufacturing distress. He (the
Chairman) was surprised that this had not been
referred to in the House of Commons. Now, there
was this great difference between a manufacturing
artisan being thrown out of work, and land being thrown
out of cultivation—in the former case the working man
becomes at once a burden upon the country, the demand
for one man's labour has ceased ; on the contrary, when
an acre of arable land is thrown out of cultivation, the
demand for the corn formerly grown upon it is not ebxe-
tinguished—that corn is still required—must
still
procured—and there is no mode o f obtaining it but by

of things improving. With respect to the shopkeepers,
in Bilston their condition was exceedingly deplorable.
