A Communication from .•ir C. Brisbane, Gov3rnor of
kincent, to the Howe of Assembly, with Lord
Bathurst's Dispatch of 9!ls July, and the joint lieply
or Me Council and Assembly, Bvo. pp. 71.
We are happy to learn from the Governor's letter,
that many of the improvements suggested by Govern-
ment have been anticipated by the Colonial Legislature.
7/c Reply is such as might be expected from the
A ye-owners. According to them, the slaves are a
very happy, contented race, arid the Ministers are act-

in.‘Lorci Bathuist's dispatch.
Memorandum on the Relative Importance of the West
and East Indies to Great Britain.,-fro. pp. 32.
The intention of the pamphlet is t• establish—
That the West India planter now possesses, and
has an undoubted right to have continued to him the
exclusive supply of the home market, on the grounds
of principle and policy.
That the entire loss of the sugar trade would not
in any degree affect the prosperity of India.
That would accrue to the West India planter,
in which his slaves would be involved, if the sugar
trade ol" India should supersede in any degree that of
the .West Ildia trade,- by a participation in the supply
of the h,ime market on equal terms.
That although it appears that the East India tra-
ders could not f..rmeily obtain from. British India, a
quantity of sugar equal to a few weeks supply of the
home market, still it might be very largely increased,
so as maretialltto interi.ele with the home consump-
tion of British sugar.
That East India sugar is of inferior quality to
West India, although fairer in colour, and that decep-
tion may be practised by the mixture with the West
India sugar, to the injury of the consumer.
That the supply of West India sugar is one-third
mare than equal to the supply of the home market.
That the admission of East India sugar would not
occasion a reduction in price, but only displace a like
quantity of West India sugar, &c.
Ors some Changes produced by Re-agents on Animal Mat-
ter, and on the Nature of the Blood. •
At the sitting of the Sociiti de Pharmacie of the 12th
of April last, M. Magendie read a report on a work by
M. Ciievreul, embracing the above topics.
The author had proposed to himself for inquiry, bier rioted
organic substances become converted into fatty nwellerna putre-
faction, nitric acid, &c. or, as Bertbullet.liod in 1780,
whether the fatty matter extracted by thille4Nonsprodaist in the
substances employed ?
When the dried tendons of the ekpbant are treated with alcohol
a fatty substance is obtained, fusible at 30.5 (IL?), the compositioo
of which is similar to that of the fat of the, same animal.
If the tendons be treated by nitric or hydrochloric add, an equal
quantity of the same fat is extracted.
These three reagents, so different antoogst themselves, alcohol,
nitric, and hydrochloric acid, give the same results as regards the
fatty Matter obtained.
The same tendons, left for a year in water, scarcely yield 0.02
or 0.03 of a substance formed of the matgatic andolelc acids—a sub.
deice which, in its nature and quantity, corresponds with the pro.
portion of fat which may be extracted by means of alcohol.
Oo treating the time tendons with a solution of potass, the orga-
nic matter is dicsolved, and the liquid, left to itself, suffers super.
margarate of potass to be deposited.

the yellow-elastic tissue of animals, in which the proportion of
fatty matter is greater than in the tendons, presents the same
phenomena.
Tlfe lihrine of arterial blood, treated with alcohol and ether,
yields a fatty matter, the proportion of which it is difficult to se&
atate, from its forming with water a sort of any:Bunion : Mikis
cemstance does not occur with fat formed of principles imoffiellie
with water.
•
The fatty matter extracted from Shrine differs considerably from
other fatty matters: on a comparison of all its physical and chemlo•
cal properties, it may bit considered as identical with the fatty mat.
ter of the brain and nerves.
From these different experiments, M. Chevreul concludes :
That the fatty matters extracted by meuis of alcohol and the nitric
and hydrochloric acids, are not, as advanced by M. &radius, a
product of the re-action of these agents; buethat they are consti-
tueot principles of azoted organic matters.'—lifeclical Repository.
EMPLOYMENT OF lODINE IN SCROFULOUS
COMPLAINTS.
Dr. Henning has administered this remedy in eight
cases. The youngest patient was a child of two years
old only, to whom the tincture was given in doses of
five drops, three times a day; and it was administered
to an old asthmatic person, who was subject to enlarge-
ments in the lymphatic organs about the neck, by which
respiration was rendeied still more difficult. He took
the tincture also in quantity from eight to ten drops,
four times a day. At thv end of a week a critical
sweat came on, which lasted several days; and by still
continuing the use of iodine, his complaints were much
relieved. Ih all the other cases, which were chiefly of
young females, the best effects were derived from the
remedy, without any sinister consequences.—Medical

Irtntlitmi, the ex -Emperor of Mexico, sailed from
Southampton on the 11th of May, on his expedition to
regain the sovereignty of that country. It was under-
stooi to be his intention, when he left England, to touch
first at Jamaica, for the purpose of ascertaining from
that island the situation of affairs in Mexico; but the
mail which was delivered yesterday brought no Intel-
' ligence of his arrival there, although by the 18th of
June, the date of the sailing of the Jamaica packet, he
-Itad been out 38 days. Others suppose it was his in-
tention to proceed first to New Orleans, and to enter
Mexico by land, through the province of Texas, and
the delay that has occutred leads to the belief that this
latter plan has been carried into effect.
The Director of the Police at Cassel, MANGER,

perpetual imprisonment in Spangenberg. He had for

cruel acts, under the pretext that the Elector's life was
menaced. Many innocent persons had been prosecuted
ia consequeke of MANGER'S false charges, and some
of those persons comMitted suicide in their dungeons,
from despair of ever being able to vindicate themselves,
this Director of the Police having obtained such an

A new Afterpiece was Ilast sight produied, entithd
The Reign. of 1 %melee How?:.
This piece takes its name from the circumstance of
Nourma, an Eastern Lady, having prevailed on a cer-
tain Caliph to resign the sovereign power to her for
twelve hours. The; Caliph had wished his son Zeangir,
to marry Nourma, but the young man obstinately re-
fused to see her. The cause of his Klisobedience is an
attachment to a Lady, who is called by another name.
He is banished from Court, but during the twelve hours'
reign of Rournra is recalled, and informed that the
temporary occupant of the Throne means to usurp it
altogether. In the spirit of filial love and loyalty, the
Prince upon this calls for his arms. The Caliph is
within hearing at the time, and now recognises the vir-
tue of his son. Nourtna proves to be the Lady whom
Zeangir had loved under an assumed name, and dutiful
submission and marriage follow.
It will be seen from the above sketch that the fabric
of this entertainment is very slight. The lidgetty
I ini-
potence of the Caliph to controul that power which he
has delegated to another, and to reign over the nominal
Sovereign, is pleasant and ridiculous enough. There is,
however, rather too much explanation and too little in-
cident. But it is always inoffensive, sometimes divert-
ing; and the songs by Mr. PEARMAN and Miss KELLY,
with the music by Mr. HERBERT, deserve considerable
praise. It furnished some elegant new scenery, and
met with general applause, when the curtain fell, and
was announced for repetition. The House was crowded
in all pans, for the first performance of the evening
(Der Freida:huts) has become an established favourite.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at
Guildhall, at which the 'lmprovement Committee pre-
sented a Report for sealing the bonds for the sum of
one hundred, and fiftY thousand pounds, raised for the
purpose of removing Fleet-market, which was read, and
the bonds sealed accordingly.
Several of the inhabitants of Fleet-street attended,
with a representation of the great inconvenience they as
well as the public in general experience from the quan-1
tity of paving-stones placed in the centre of the carriage-
way in that street, which being read, the Court requested
the Lord Mayor to take such steps as he might see fit
to remove the nuisance.

A petition was presented from Mr. Rowland, one of
the harbour masters of the port, annexing a copy of a
letter he bad addressed to the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer upon the subject of a plan he had proposed for
making an.eatensive dock adjoining the City Canal, in
the Isle of Dogs, for the exclusive use of colliers, and
which would, if carried into effect, relieve the crowded
state of the river, aLd praying the Court to take the
'lune into consideration, which, being read, was referred
Ms the Navigation Committee to report them°.
The Court, upon a motion by Mr. S. Dam?, referred
-it to the Committee for General Purposes, to take such
measures as they should be advised to procure a revi-
sion of the order lately made by the Judges of the
Court of Common Pleas, for an extension of the Rules
of the Fleet Prison.
The Court agreed with a Report for purchasing some
houses in Long-lane, and also with a Report for an al-
lowance towards rounding off a house in Watling-street.

The Court then proceeded to consider the Report on
the office of Hall-keeper, as presented at the last Court,
and the same was read and agreed to, after which a peti-
tion from Mr. F. Temple, the son of the late Hall-keeper,
praying to be.appointedte that situation, was read; the
Court thereupon went to the election, when Mr. F.
Temple wet unanimously chosen upon a chew of hands,

Coaowita's INouur.—Yesterday afternoon an Inqui-
sition was held at the Crown public-house, ROsemary-
lane, before J. W. UNwts, Esq. upon the body of John
Simpkins, a gun-maker, residing in White's-yard, Rose-
mary-lane. It appeared that on Monday night the wire
of the deceased and another woman, living in the same
court, named Harris, had a quarrel, which terminated
in blows, and that he took the wife's part; but Hat ris
was too much for them both, she having first beat the
wife to a stand-still, and then given thedeceased several
severe blows about the abdomen and .stomach, which
brought him more than once to the ground. They were
separated, and the deceased retired to his room and
went to bed, from which he never again rose. He lin-
gered in extreme agony till Wednesday morning, when
he expired. Mr. Hawkins, the surgeon, deposed that he
opened the body, and found the bowels in a state. of
mortification, which be believed to have been,produced
by some external injuries, though no marks appeared.
Several witnesses were examined, but the Jury expressed
a wish to have the wife of the deceased brought before'
them. The Inquest was adjourned till this evening.
ntranaa.--Sunday evening, about half-past nine
o'clock, Jacob Wilkins, about 50 years of age, ostler at
the Blucher Inn, Norton St. Philip, Somersetshire, was
murdered, about half way up the hill•beyond the Fox
public-house, at Mitford. Monday a young man, named
James Reynolds alias Walters, was brought before ED-
MUND Anoranoo, Esq. and the examination of wit-
nesses lasted until nearly eleven o'clock at night. The
watch of the deceased was found upon him; and when
Mr. (icorge Goldstone, the surgeon who examined the
body, produced some small portions of the bone of the
fractured skull of the deceased, the agitation of the pri-
soner was remarkable. Reynolds has been tried twice
already—for horse-stealing, and for stealing apparel.
He is not yet 19 years old.—An Inquest has been held
on the body, and the verdict being •6 Wilful Murder
against Reynolds," he is committed for trial.
Honora -Concannoa, whose trial for the murder of a

poor beggar, named Higgins, we gave in the STAR of
Wednesday last, after the awful sentence 9f the law was
passed upon her, still persisted in protesting her inno-
cence, and continued to do so until a few seconds be-
fore she was launched into eternity, when she admitted
being concerned in the murder, but refused to say whe-
ther she had any accomplices or not. Nothing could
equal the resistance she gave the executioner, she kicked
hien and bit his hands several times, and appeared to
be inv perfect state of frenzy when brought to the
drop, which was done by force.

_ .110 W-STREET.
Scarcely had Sir Shutaza Biwa taken hie seat, when a tall
gentleinanly West Indhin was ushered into the Office, or nth's'
followed by' a couple of officers. The Gentleman was evklently
inane; for no sooner bad be got within one yard of Sir Riemaes;
than he made a theatrical start, and, staring at the Magistrate
wildly, he exclaimed—" Damme, I'm no slave—l'm free!—l'll
board and lodge when and where I please. Who dare say I cannot
eat a good dinner? Who's he? femme, he's a fool!"
Sir Ilion/An inquired what the unfortunate Gentleman was
brought there for?
Henning, the officer, said be had been parading the streets in
much the same manner as be now addressed the Bench.
Upon being asked his name, he exclaimed—" My name's Ru-
pert—George Rupert, aye, and my mother's son, for I know where
the hat lies"—accompanying his remark by violently dinging his hat
to the other side of the office.
The Magistrate inquired if there were any of the Gentleman's
friends present to take care of him ?
Unfortunately, nobody knew him.—One Gentleman, tapping
-him on the shoulder, endeavoured to learn his address, by saying,
familiarly—" Come, come, Rupert, where do you reside?" To
which he replied—" Round iu a square near Keppell-street."
" Who ire your friends?" again asked the polite interferer.--" Mr.
Mackie, of the War Office," returned Mr. Rupert, at the same
time bowing to the ground to the person who addressed him.
As the unfortunate Gentleman had committed no breach of the
peace, he was permitted to go at large, which be did by bursting
into a loud and hysteric laugh, and shouting, as he left the Office—
" I'm free!—Glorious liberty !—Who'll have a shilling ?"•'
Sir Ilicuatto Mime regretted that a Gentleman, apparently of
the first respectability, should be suffered to roam without friends,
whilst labouring under the effects of a brain fever.
HON TO MANAGE A Haczusv-Coacumms.—Among the watch-
house prisoners brought before Sir RICHARD ihaina yesterday morn-
ing, was a young man who described himself as a solicitor residing
in Essex-street. He was a pensive, slender youth, clad in mud-
embrown'd black ; and he had been put into the watch-house about
five o'clock the ante morning by a little lobster-faced hackney-
ceachman, who new came forward and charged him with having re-
fused to pay his fare, and boxing his eats because be asked him for it.
It appeared that the pensive solicitor had been supping with a
friend in the neighbourhood of Walwurth on Wednesday night,
and in returning house, about one o'clock in the morning, along
West-lane, he somehow or other got into a muddy ditch—an ac-
cident which will sometimes happen to Gentlemen who sup out
with their friends ; especially when the night happens to be wet
and windy, as it was in this case. Whilst he was in the ditch,
and was casting about in his mind how to get out of it, he
heard .the sound of coach-wheels coming that way; and this
giving him courage, he made a desperate sprunt or two, and
crawled out just in • time to hail the coach--•which happened very
to be- a hackney.coach, • and unbind. The coachman
did not much like to have anything to do with the solicitor, for,
as he said, " the gemman was shining with mud and dusk, witch
am werry detrimental things to a coach-lining." However, bi-
turned the cushions ; and the sMnlng solicitor took his seat, pees.,
raising to sit as upright as be could, and directing the coachman to,
drive to No. —, Essex-street, Strand. They reached Essex-street
soon after two o'clock, and coachee demanded four
legal fare ; but at the same time expressing a hope that " the gem-
man would give him another shilling, an account of the shush.'
solicitor assented; and telling coachee to wait a few minutes, whilst
he fetched the money, he went into the house and .shut the door.
And there coachee stood,' kickrng his heels, and wishieg
muddy solicitors an the dial*, 'for more than half an hoar. At
last he heard somebody at the top of the hale as be thought,.
nailing" Checker I" and loOking up, he saw the neater in a whiter
night-cap, leaning out of the mecond-floor window. " Halloo, Sir!
Here am I," said the coachman—" I say, cormhee," rejoined the
Solicitor, from the window; " I say, coedits, yint may go; for I've
no money for you to-night;' and having solald • hit that down the
window. " Well, that's a nun go as ever I kito;v'd;' said
" but it von't do for me—l shan't stir till I've got my money,
We if I do!" This threat was said to the winds, .for the Solicitor
was busily at work encasing himself in his dormitory. But coaches
was as good as his word—he would not budge without the blunt,
and, with more zeal than good manners, he plied the knocker al-
most incessantly until after four o'clock, when the door suddenly
opened, and out popped the Solicitor in a rage. " You rascal," said,
he—giving the astonished coachman a good sound cuff oh his left
