CHARGE OF RAPE IN BOSTON.

At five o'clock yesterday afternoon, a German, by the
name of Simon Fisliblet, who keeps a shop at No. 42,
Ann-street, for the manufacture of furs, muffs. &c., was
bought in on a warrant charging him with committing
a rape on a young lady named S. Manning, under the
following circumstances. The complainant, Miss Man-
ning, who is a girl of about 18 years of age, stated the
case as follows :

On the 30th of September, I worked for the prisoner.
In the evening the outside door was locked by the tailors,
working in another part of the building ; I asked him
to unicek it ; he said it was too late to do so ; he then
locked the inside dour of his shop, and said he wanted
me to lie down upon the table ; I replied that I would not,
lie urged me hard to lie down, and upon my refusing, he
undertook to do it by main force. I then run to the front
part of the building and got up to the window, and
tried to excite the attention of the people outside by
tapping on the window ; he pulled me to the back part
of the building, shut the outer door and locked it; he
then spread some of the cotton and fur used for manu-
facturing muffs, upon the table, and placed me down upon
it by main strength ; he wrestled with me until my
strength was completely exhausted, and succeeded in
forcing me down.
la the struggle and agony I lost my senses, and as
soon ao I recovered myself I got down from the table ;
he had forced _Lae in the meantime. I sat up in a corner
of the room until near four o'clock in the morning. The
pr.isoner was asleep in the back part. Towards morning
he e,z.rried me back by main force, and put me on the
table ag-ain ; he struggled hard with me, but I did'nt
quite faint ::way. I think this time he did'nt succeed.
Ire used me v,:_ry bad indeed. About six o'clock, when
I went home, 1 AO to prisoner, .‘ What can I tell the
folks where I board ?" lie replied, " Say you worked
all night." I first mentio;_led this ease tour weeks after-
wards to Mr. Marshall Smiti:, who works for Mr. Liver-
more, 51 Long- wharf. Ile said be would take it up and
see that it was prosecuted, but he never attended to it.
I also mentioned it to Mrs. Bugbce, 8, Boylston-street.
The witness told a very straightforward story. The
cross-examination elicited little of interest, except prov-
ing that witness had lived at a great many different
places ; that prisoner, before accomplishing his purpose,
swore he would marry her, but she refused him as a
h usband.

Clarissa Frith, who worked for the prisoner, said on
the 30;.11 of September Miss Manning had done little
during the day, and proposed working later than usual
in the evening. 'Witness and the rest of the girls quitted
work at ten o'clock, and rode home in a carriage, leaving
the complainant alone with the prisoner.
No defence was attempted. Justice Rogers and the
Counsel for the defendant held a brief conference in the
Judge's private room, and the prisoner was then com-
mitted to prison, without the privilege of bail, to await
his trial in March next. The offence is punishable with
death.—Boston Mail. Dec. 9.

AGRICULTURAL.

The floods in Essex have done sad havoc to the arable
lands. The forest adjoin Barrington Hall has been
inundated to the depth of iourteen feet. In Hertford-
shire , Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, and
Oxfordshire, and all the flat countries, the farmers have
been immense sufferers.

The late Mr. J. B. West,,M.P., for Dublin, fought for
Conservatism with great spirit. In the election of 1832
for Dublin, he was in.a minority of 300 votes ; in 1835,
of 223 below Mr. O'Connell, but was seated by petition.
In 1837 he was ousted by a minority, but at the last
election had a majority of 168 votes over Mr. O'Connell.
He did not sit in the House of Commons more than a
year and a half.
A piece of plate was lately presented to Commander
Somerville, R.N., th rough Sir Edward Codrington, raised
by a limited subscription from 369 flag-officers, captains,
commanders, and others, as a tribute of their esteem
for the honourable and zealous manner in which he ad-
vocated their interests before the Commissioners on Na-
val and Military Inquiry.
NAVAL AND MILITARY.

The 92d Regiment, or Gordon Highlanders, are suffer-
ing dreadfully at Dominica, under yellow fever and black
vomit. Officers and men to the number of 39 had
died previous to the 18th October, besides many being

MR. STEVENSON TO LORD PALMERSTON.

32, Upper Grosvenor-street, Aug. 9, 1841.
My Lord—On my return to London,•aftera temporary ab-'
tence of a few days, I found the two communications which
your Lordship did me the honour to address to me, under the
date of the 6th inst., in answer to my notes of the 13th of
November, the 27th of February, and the Ist of March last,
complaining of the seizure and detention of three American
vessels, the Doulas, lago, and Hero, and the ill-treatment
of their crews, by her Majesty's cruisers employed on. the
African coast in suppressing the slave trade.
Having, in my previous communications, said all that I
deemed important on the subject of these repeated aggressions
upon the vessels and commerce of the United States and the
rights of their flag, I can have no inducement at this time to
trouble, your Lordship with any further remarks ; and I shall,
therefore, content myself with transmitting to my Govern-
ment, at the earliest day, copies of your Lordship's notes, with
whorl it will rest to decide upon the Sufficiency of the explana-
tion which they contain in justification of the conduct of the
commanders of her Majesty's brigs of war the Termagant and
the Lynx.
It is proper, however, that I should seize the earliest oppor-
tunity to acquaint your Lordship that, in relation to the agree-
ment which it is alleged was entered into between the com-
mandereof the British squadron on the African coast and the
officer in command of the vessel sent by the Government of
the United States to suppress the slave trade, allowing the
mutual right of searching and detaining all British and
American vessels found trading in slaves, I have no other in-
formation than that communicated in your Lordship's notes,
and have no reason to suppose that. stich authority had been
confided by the American Government to any of its officers.
' I pray your Lordship to accept assurances atny distinguished
consideration and respect. A. STEVENSON.

• LORD PALMERSTON TO MR. STEVENSON.
Foreign-office, Aug., 17, 1841. .;
Viscount Palmerston presents his compliments to Mr.
Stevenson, and with reference to Mr. Stevenson's note
of the 9th instant, has the honour to . transmit here-
with, to Mr. Stevenson, a copy, of the agreement entered
into between Captain Tucker, of her Majesty's sloop Wolve-
rine, and Lieut. Paine, of the United States ship of war Gram-
pus, which was referred to in the notes addressed by Viscount
Pahnersten to Mr. Stevenson on the sth instant, on the sub-
ject of the detention of the vessels, the Douglas, the !ago, and
Hero, by her Majesty's cruisers.

METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE.

. _ .
The pen of the " Irish Barrister" this month
strikes off in a brilliant sketch the character
and distinguishing. powers of Mr. Blackburne,
the Attorney-General for Ireland. Tracing his
career from the time of his school-fellowship in
1801 with Moore, the poet, to 1803, when he ob-
tained the classical gold college-medal for his
distinguished answering, and to his subsequent
preparation for the bar, when, like Lord Hale,
" he loved to toil terribly," :the writer pounces
with full spirit upon the period, when, after.a
few day's call to the bar, he astonished the
lawyers of half a century's standing by his work-
ing out of tough motions and cases of complexity,
with a-n adroitness that led Sergeant Ball to in-
quire, " Who is that surprising boy ?" The
first occasion on which he signalized himself was
when Curran was " pitchforked" into the Rolls,
and the bar split itself into two divisions on the
propriety of presenting him with an address;
Blackburne was among the fifty-six dissidents,
and the bold eloquence of so young a man, lay-
ing down imperiously the law of bar-etiquette,
aggravated many, but gained him eminence from
all. This was the first act of the drama, and
thereafter his rise was rapid, to the foremost rank
at the Chancery bar. He realised money and
reputation, and by speedy and ascendant steps
obtained the Attorney- Generalship. His excel-
lency as a lawyer cannot but be admitted; but
to the " unswerving firmness" of his political
creed, tergiversation altogether supplants uni-
Pirmity.. An Emancipationist under the Wel-
lesley Government, he ran into the reverse
under the Liverpool : a sterling Reformer under
Lord Grey, he fluctuated with astonishing facility
to the opposition host, and attached himself-,
though in the garb of a renegade, to the Peel
and Stanleyite faction. Comment there need be
none on this ; honour succumbed to pelt' and
place, and each inconsistency fastened a blot
upon his scutcheon. His contrariety of opinion
has put the " sweet wine -of Reform into the
vinegar-bottles of Toryism," and thereby dete•
rioratively broken up the Otherwise healthy esti-
mation of his character. Three more chapters
fr6m Mrs. Trollope, conelude " The Blue Belles"
of England, whereby those cerulean vestals are
laid to rest. It terminates in the happy union
of Constance—who, throughout the tale, is an
amiable personation of a young fine-minded
Englishwoman—with Mr. Fitzosborne. The
eccentricities and emotions of "A Bachelor of
Fifty" are amusingly developed, and a dark
military intrigue with a bright beauty is helped
on by the instrumentality of " Othello," in the
" Tales of the Pump-room."

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

After the chances and mutations attendant
upon a long literary existence, this oldest of the
living Magazines commences its forty-fifth year
under the editorship of Mr. Benson Hill. Com-
pared with its late counterpart, it could not be
capable of wider dissimilarity. Papers replete
with mysticism, and profound in the exploded
doctrines of Boehmen, Fox, and Swedenborg,
have disappeared with all their gravity and
learning, and yield a place to the lightsome and
jocose. If the old depth be wanting, smartness
plays over the surface of the present, and the
ser►es of papers read brisk and interesting.
" Kindred Meads" lay the scene in a pretty part
of Berkshire, deducing their name from the fa-
mily "Kindred," among whom the writer in-
troduces Shakspeare ; and either legendarily or
truly, relates them to be the actual family whose
members the poet has imortalised in his " Seven
Ages." A literary curiosity appears in the shape
of an original letter of Edmund Kean's, which
in a psychological point of view must be con-
sidered either the production of insanity or a
rhapsodical eccentricity. The following is the
account given :

The great tragic actor above-named had been:forisome
time indebted to an innkeeper, near Hammersmith, who
received the sum due to him, after many fruitless appli-
cations. The money was sent in a note, of which the
following is an authentic and literal transcript :
" Dear 11—s. Time, the Apex of the Universal
wheel, will whirl away at last, and when the Chaos shall
have overwhelmed this world, new states, new suns, new
times will yet !trite, and with new names. I enclose you
the amount of your bill, and thank you for your kind in-
dulgence. Sincerely, Edmund Kean."
Mr. 11 s would neither part with this document
nor allow any one to copy it, but another tragedian, hav-
ing, what the members of his profession call " a rapid
Study," learnt it at two readings, repeated it once the
same day, to a still after memory. It was set down,
verbatim, at once. _ _

The ,"French fictions now most popular in
England" are uncharitably reviewed ; the
" Corinna" will always be admired for its ideal
beauty, and " The Hunch-back of Notre-Dame"
for its intrinsic loveliness, though a nice-:edged
criticism may carp at their morality. An olla
podrida of other brief but readable papers winds
up the Number.

standing for judgment, and 98 remaining undeter-
mined, the earliest of which was moved m Easter

The hurricane of Tuesday night, which succeeded
a very showery day, has delayed the arrival of many
vessels and steamers expected yesterday, and among
others the Batavier steam-ship, from Rotterdam,
which in the usual course would have made her ap-
pearance at St. Katharine's, at ten o'clock in the
morning, did not arrive during the day, and is no
doubt delayed by the bad weather. Several vessels
and steamers which did arrive appeared to have suf-
fered much by the storm. The shipping and craft in
the river have wholly escaped damage, and there has
not been a single accident.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer had a long inter-
view this morning with Sir James Graham at the
liome-bffice.

The plan of this Office will be found to comprise all the
solid advantages of Life Assurance.
Persons have the option of insuring upon the Return or
Non-Return Systems; and the Tables, which include Ascend-
ing and Descending Scales of Premium, have been framed to
suit the convenience of all parties.
The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the
most approved calculations, and these being verified by the ex-
perience of the Office during forty years, are as low as consis-
tent with safety ; thoie adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM
entitle its assured to an equitable participation in the surplus
premium, according to the plan detailed in the Company's
Prospectus.
The Assured under both Systems will possess the guarantee
of a large Paid-up Capital, and the further security of a re-
sponsible body of Proprietors, without being exposed to the
liablities of partnership.
Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of au
assurance is effected ;—or, loans will be granted thereon to the
extent of five-sixths of such purchase-money.
Prospectuses and every information obtained on application
at the Offices as above, or to the Agents of the Company ap-
pointed in every city and principal town in the kingdom.

MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SES.

SIONS.-(YESTERDAY.)
The Court was occupied the whole morning in
deciding appeals against Magistrates' orders, in cases
of parish against parish, but the only case of the
least interest was an appeal by St. George's, Blooms-
bury, v. St. Clement Danes. The officers of the latter
parish had obtained an order for the removal froin
thence to St. George's, -of a pauper, who was in their
‘VOrichoiise. The orer was granted on the ground
that the pauper had obtained a settlement in Blooms-
bury by service. The appellants alleged that the
service was not sufficient to constitute a settlement,
inasmuch as, although the pauper'had been engaged
upon a yearly stipend, and served more than a year in
the parish, residing in the house of his master, yet
he was not a yearly servant within the meaning of the
Act, because he had, by special agreement at the
time of hiring, the Sundays at his own disposal.
The Magistratts held the exception to be good, and
quashed the order.

appearance, who stated that his name was Pratt, ap-
peared before the Lord Mavor, in consequence of the
account which he had seen in the newspapers relative
to the emigrants to Prince Edward's Island. He was
accompanied by four or file persons who said they
had claims against the Association or its agents.
Mr. Pratt stated that he was the second Captain
who had been engaged to take command of the ship
Barbadoes, bound for Prince Edward's Island, and
which it had been stated was on the point of sailing,
and he was given to understand that a representation
had been made to the Lord Mayor that his services
were rejected, because he was excessively addicted to
liquor.

It that power and influence are steadily and vigor-
ously exerted by the Executive Government, as I am
sure that in this matter they will be ; and if the
Executive Government is well backed up and sup-
ported by public opinion and national feeling, of
which in this case there can be no doubt, I am con-
vinced that the unanimous determination of the British
Government and British nation to obtain from Foreign
Powers a faithful and complete execution of the en-
gage►nents which those Powers have entered into with
Great Britain for the suppression of the slave trade
will in the end be crowned with success.
But for this purpose we must be firm and decided;
we must not mind if we give offence to the guilty
parties whose crimes we are endeavouring to punish
or prevent ; and we must not be stopped by clamour
raised against us by those who are interested in the
perpetration of those enormities which we are striving
to put down. But, above all, we must not recede and
go back in our course, for any symptoms of faltering
on our part would give new courage and fresh hopes
to"the miscreants who commit these crimes.

Gentlemen, I beg again to thank you most grate-
fully for the honour which you have done me this
day ; and I can assure you that I shall always con-
sider it as one of my first duties as a public man, to
do all that may lie in my power to promote the attain-
ment of those great ends for the accomplishment of
which your Association has been formed.

is Ireland's willing testimony to Mr. O'Cort-
NELL'S consistent patriotism. It is also a
voucher for his political influence, and a proof,
defying contradiction, that his country is as
anxious as ever to avail herself of his services,
and looks to him chiefly as the instrument of her
regeneration. It will be time enough to taunt the
Hon.and Learned Gentleman with his acceptance
of a national subscription, when the myriads of
lazy, selfish sinecurists, who fatten at the public
cost both here and in Ireland, have learned to
blush for their cupidity, and consented to resign
their pensions, in a smlden paroxysm of disin-
terestedness and patriotism. When this astound-
ing period arrives—which will he when the sky
falls, and it rains larks—we will then consent to
reconsider the question of the O'CONNELL Com-
pensation Fund.

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR,
UNDER THE SPECIAL PATRONAGE OF
HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY, AND THE
ROYAL FAMILY.

A preparation from Oriental Exotics, is now universally
known as the only safe and efficient protector and beautifier of
the Skin and Complexion. Its virtues are commonly displayed
in thoroughly eradicating all pimples, spots, redness, tan,
freckles, and other unsightly cutaneous defects, in healing chil-
blains, chaps, and in rendering the most rough and uneven
skin, pleasantly soft and smooth. To the complexion it im-
parts a juvenile roseate hue, and to the neck, hand, and arm, a
delicacy and fairness unrivalled.
Gentlemen will find it allay the irritation of the skin after
shaving..

Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per bottle, duty included.
CAUTION—Ask for " ROWLAND'S KALYDOR,"

cious trash is now offered to the public as " Kalydor," by per-

EDINBURGH UNEMPLOYED

POOR.

(From the Caledonian Mercury.)
We have great satisfaction in informing our
readers, that the Lord Provost, as Chairman of the
Committee for suggesting the kind of work on which
the unemployed tradesmen and labourers should be
occupied, has received from Sir R. Peel the following
communication. The amount of destitution among
the labouring poor is very great,. and it is therefore
hoped the public will come liberally forward with
their subscriptions in aid of the funds for the em-
ployment of this destitute class of our fellow-
citizens : " Whitehall, Dec. 8.
" My Lord,--•Since I wrote to your Lordship I
have bad personal communication, on the subject on
which you recently addressed me, with the Earl of
Haddington and the Earl of Lincoln, and found, as I
expected, on the part of both, a sincere desire to
with me in adopting measures without
delay, which, while they contribute to the embellish-
ment
of the City of Edinburgh and its environs, may
also provide some additional means of occupation for
the unemployed in that city during the winter.
" The attention of the Commissioners of Woods
and Forests is directed to this subject, and I am con-
fident that whatever their public duty may permit
them to do, will be undertaken by them very speedily.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord,
" Your obedient servant,
" ROBERT PEEL."

Tory, far less those engaged in a good cause,
to place the least value on loud assertions that
language is seditious, and that conduct is illegal
and unconstitutional. All the charges that are
vehemently made by the Quarterly only mean
that the League has discomfited the bread-
taxers. The League will disdain to reply to
them, and if we were to undertake so unneces-
sary a task we should retort the charges. We
should say that the first Anti-Corn-law Society
was not formed in Manchester till after the
landlords, conscious of an overwhelming majority
in Parliament, had treated with contempt the
prayers of the people to be only heard against
the law. That the League was not formed till

every reasonable exertion had been made to
influence the Legislature, without the least avail.
It had shown itself equally insensible to the
decay of the masters and the starvation of the
workmen. A careless Prime Minister had pro-
nounced it madness to abolish a system
which openly decreed fraud, and consecrated in-
justice. Yet he was more friendly to their
views than the man who was seeking his post by
the help of the monopolists. The justification
of the League, and of every strong term it has
used, admitting the correctness of the Reviewer,
is to be found in the fact, that the leading states-
men of both parties were allied with the mono-
polists, that the Legislature was pledged to a
great wrong, and that the League could have no
hope of obtaining justice but by its own exertions.
Even the Quarterly Review will admit that
there is a degree of tyranny which calls for re-
sistance, and justifies rebellion. Degrees of
tyranny short of the greatest enormity, require
to be met with corresponding degrees of opposi-
tion and rebuke. From what the Quarterly
calls the " unappeasable greediness of gain,"
which " has created and sustained the per-
severing activity" and union of the landowners,
they set at defiance, years ago, all the principles
of the Constitution, and to enrich themselves ex-
clusively the law-makers taxed the bread of the
people. Obstinately did they persist, in spite of
petitions, prayers, and remonstrances, to main-
tain a great violation of everything which ought
to be law. They adhered, we admit, to the forms
of the law and the Constitution, only the more
securely to trample the substance of both under
their ft et. The true defence of the League, if
any person care to defend it against the abuse of
the Review, is to be found in the conduct of the
Legislature. The one was the natural conse-
quence of the other. Only energy approaching
to violence is a fit match for the hardhearted,
unrelenting, systematic extortion which the
landlords have practised, and still practise, by
their power of making the laws.
