APERIENT SODAIC POWDERS.

THIS much-esteemed and elegant Preparation pos-
sesses the advantage of instantly producing Soda Water in
the highest perfection, and of being at the same time a mild Ape-
rient, relieving Ileattburn, Bile, Nausea, Acidity on the Stomach,
&c. To those whose Stomachs, from weakness or (Abet Causes,
reject Epsom and Cheltenham Salts, &c. (the nauseous taste of
which deters many from using them), these Powders are particu-
larly recommended. They possess all the medical propet ties of
the celebrated Seidlitz Spa, in Germany ; in their operation are
equally mild and efficacious; and, being perfectly tasteless, they
may be given to Children as well as Adults, who cannot take a
Saline Aperient in any other form. If recourse be had to them
after too free an indulgence in the luxuries of the table, particu-
larly after too much wine, the common disagreeable effects are
altogether avoided. In warm climates they are found highly be-
neficial, as they correct disordered Bile, without debilitating the
Stomach.
Sold by Butlers, Chemists, 4, Cheapside, and 220, Regent-
street, London; 20, Waterloo-place, Edinburgh; and 34, Sack-
ville-street, Dublin ; by the principal Medicine-venders through-
out the United Kingdom.

The Gazette of to-day contains the official notice
that the King has at length accepted the resignation
of the Ministers of State—Bardazi, Foreign Affairs;
Felice, of the Interior; Salvador, of War; and Val-

ligo, of Finance—" which resignation," his Majesty
says, " I have hitherto declined to accept; but, con-
sidering the present circumstances, I have now al-
lowed them to retire, declaring that I am satisfied
with their good sea vices, their attachment to the Con-
stitution, their loyalty to my person, and their zeal
for the public good."—Another official notice, ad-
dressed to Messrs. Cano Manuel, Escadero, and
Imaz, charges them, ad interim, with the depart.-
' ments of the Interior, War, and Finance; and Mr.
Pelegrin with the Foreign department. This change
was announced to the Cortes yesterday.

Our Journals publish the following letter from

4, The Viceroy of Lima abandoned the capital at

the beginning of July, retiring into the country with
4000 men, the intrepid Cantoral having left it pre-
viously with 3000, leaving the valiant Sanchez in the'
impregnable fortress of Callao, with 1500 men, and
prdvisions for a year; the army of Upper Peru, of
above 8000 men, being under the command of Ola-
neta, and other distinguished Chiefs. As soon as two
Spanish ships appear in the Pacific, all these forces
will march to Lima, the Chilian invaders will be an-
nihilated, and Peru will be restored to tranquillity."

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY 23:

Hilary Term commenced to-day in full Bench.—
After the usual Convict and Penitentiary Reports
were read, which were favourable, a Report from
WILLIAM JONES, Esq. the Marshal of the King's
Bench Prison, in compliance with the Rule of last
Term, was handCd in, from which it appeared, that
since the last Term he had taken steps to comply
with the directions of the Court as to residence, by
fitting up his residentiary house preparatory to his
pet manent dwelling. He entered into a minute detail
of the number of days he had attended, and the
number of nights he had slept in the prison since
November last.
The Cot ni then ordered that the Mar)bal do make
a further Report upon the same subject on the first
day of next Term,

LAW INTELLIGENCE,

COURT OF CHANCERY, JANUARY as.
This being the first day of Hilary Term, the Judges
came to Lincoln's Inn Hall shortly after eleven
o'clock, and had the usual interview with the LORD
CHANCELLOR. They retired about half-past twelve,
and shortly after the LORD CHANCELLOR took his
seat on the Bench, when Messrs. ADAM, PULLER, and
TAUNTON, who had previously taken their seats im-
mediately behind the bar,were informed by his Lord-
ship that his Majesty had been pleased to appoint
them King's Counsel, and directed them to take their
seats accordingly within the bar. His Lordship then
inquired of them if they had any motion to make?
and, having answered in the negative, the Learned
Gentlemen retired.
His Lordship was occupied until half-past two in
the further hearing of Counsel in a cause relative to
a Welsh Road or Railway, of no public interest.

WALTER r. SMITH.

This was an action of trover to recover from the
defendant a watch and seals, which he was al:eged
to have converted to his own use. After ti ial before
the Lcrd Chief Justice at the London Sittings after
last Term, a verdict was found for the plaintiff.
Mr. GURNEY now moved for a Rule Nisi to set
aside the verdict and enter a nonsuit. The plaintiff
is an•attorney ; the defendant a pawnbroker. The
former had pledged his watch with the latter for
two guineas. At the exi iration of a year the pledge
was not redeemed, but soon afterwards the plaintiff
tendered the money lent, the interest due therecni,'
and all expenses incurred, and desired to have his
watch returned, but the defendant, considering that
he had a tight to treat the pledge as being completely
forfeited, by virtue of the 9th and 44)th Geo. 111.
c. 99, sec. 17, refused to deliver it up, upon which
the plaintiff brought his action. The question was,
whether this action would lie, the Learned Counsel
contending, that by the general Pawnbrokers' Act
abovementioned, after a year and a day, if a pledge
is not redeemed, it becomes forfeited to all intents
and put poses; but
The Come were clearly of opinion that the word
" forfeited" was not to have this unlimited construc-
tion. The Act declared, that after the year and the
day the pledge " Shall be forfeited, and may be
sold by the pawnbroker." These words were to be
read conjunctively: Now the pledgetvas not ipso [ado
forfeited. The pawnbroker might take steps to sell
the unredeemed pledge, but by another section of
the Statute, he was liable to account to the owner
for any overplus that might be produced at the sale,
after deducting the amount of the money lent, and
the interest and expenses within three years. So that
the owner had not completely forfeited all interest in
the property, for he might at any time before the
sale claim his property, upon tendering the money
lent, the interest, and the expenses. This had been
done in this case, and therefore the action was sus-
tainable.—Rule refused.
London, England, 1822-01-24

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JANUARY 23.

This being the first day of Term, the JUDGES came
down to Court in procession. They were occupied
in hearing motions of course, none of which were of
any public interest.

PREROGATIVE COURT, JANUARY ^3.•

ROGERS AND BROWNING V. PETTIS.

This was a question of probate to the last will of
Jas. Stevens, Esq. late of Brook-green, deceased. Two
testamentary papers, at variance with each other, and
uncertain as to their operative effect, are propounded,
with codicils thereunto annexed. The question comes
before the Court under a caveat given in by the next
of kin ; by which bequests of considerable real and
personal estate, left to Mrs. Pettis, a niece of the de-
ceased, are disputed ; likewise an annuity to Mrs.
Elizabeth Vessey, his housekeeper, of £5O per an-1
num, a farm-house, and the whole of his household
furniture, provisions, &c. The property of which
the testator died possessed, consisting of real and per-
sonal estate, is, it seems, considerable. The reading

of evidence, which is extremely voluminous, occu-
pied the attention of the Court the whole day.
Sir J. NICHOL adjourned the argument to the next
Court day.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JANUARY 25.
William Benson was opposed on two grounds—l st,
for having given an undue preference to some of his ,
creditors; 2dly, for having contracted debts,which
he had no visible means of paying.
The insolvent, it seemed, was a publican living on
the toast of Sussex, and having got into difficulties,
was induced by two of his creditors, Messrs. Hanbury
and Johnstone, to give warrants to each of them
amounting to a larger sum than the whole property
he was possessed of would produce. Such being the
state of his affairs, he contracted a debt with a Mr. T.
Williams to the amount of £4.8, for spirits furnished
to him. He never told Mr. Williams of the desperate
state of his affairs, but allowed him to send in the
goods as if he were at the time solvent.
The Court strongly animadverted upon the impro-
, priety of the insolvents conduct. Although no undue
preference bad been proved, yet it was but too evi-
dent that goods had been ordered, thereby raising a
considerable debt which there was no visible means
, of liquidating. The warrants which the insolvent bad
, given disposed of the whole of his property, and from
that moment he must be considered as having done
. with his business as a publican ; unless it could be
said that warrants, like those given by the insolvent,
were in the regular course of business, then the case
I came within the 18th section of the Act. There was
nothing more mischievous to the trading interests
than the practice of issuing these warrants, which
swept away the property furnished by individuals ig-
norant of these private transactions.
The insolvent was then ordered to be imprisoned
for three months.

XING V. TOWNSIIEND.

This was an action for a private libel, imputing to
the plaintiff that he had informed against a Mrs. De-
cima Barber, that she was possessed of contraband
goods, whereby he sustained special damage in the
loss of a great part of that Lady's custom in his
trade of a silk-mercer, she being a milliner. At the
Middlesex Si :sings after last Term, the plaintiff had
a verdict of Lai damages.
Mr. CHITTY now moved, in arrest of judgment,
that the action could not be sustained, for that it is
not actionable to stigmatise a man as an informer, it
being the duty of every good subject, however odi-
ous the performance of it might be, to put the law in
force, by informing against offenders.
The Couttx, however, were clearly of opinion that
the action was sustainable, and therefore. refused
the Rule.

WARSAW, FEBRUARY a.

A Decree has just been published, abolishing all
the heads of the Jewish Communities (called Kahal)
in the kingdom of Poland. This measure, as our
Gazette says, is expected to be of great import-
ance towards promoting the civilization and welfare
of the Jews, as these National Magistrates not only
oppose the invincible barrier of gross prejudices to
the improvement of their countrymen, but were
themselves frequently guilty of the most oppressive
partiality.
CHRISTIANA, FEBRUARY 20.

We have had a most extraordinary winter; no snow,
seldom frost at night, and generally several degrees
of heat. In our country, where so much depends on:
winter, this may be considered as a national calamity ;
in fact, we hear complaints on all sides. The inha-
bitants of the town suffer greatly, because they can
receive no provisions, the prices of which daily rise.

ST. PETEIZSBURGET, FEBRUARY 19.

Accounts from Narowa say, that on the night of

suddenly rose above an arskeen, and inundated its
banks : in two hours it subsided.

On account of the increasing population and im•
portance of Siberia, a great change is going to be
made in the Administration. Instead of being di-
vided into three Governments only, as at present
(viz. Tomsk, Tobolsk, and Irkutzk), under one Go-
vernor• General, it will have siz Governments, and
three Governors-General. Some Governments ad-
joining Siberia, and hitherto belonging to European
Russia, as Perm and Orenburg, wili be added to
Siberia.

TITHES IN IRELAND.

The Duke of DEVONSHIRE held a Petition from
the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of the
city of Waterford, praying their Lordships to take
the state of Ireland and the system of tithes into their
most serious consideration. The Petitioners possessed
the tithes of thirteen parishes, and recommended a
commutation, or any other means which could render
them less burdensome to the people. He was glad to
have been charged with presenting such a Petition,
as he entirely concurred in its object, and he felt h.
moored in delivering the sentiments of so distin-
guished a body. He was also glad that an opporta-
nity had occurred to him, who, from circumstances,
never mingled in debate, of expressing how deeply
and how sincerely he was interested, both as a Peer
of Parliament and as a proprietor of land, in what-
ever related to the people of Ireland—(Hear). It
might be concluded, from the events which bad taken
place iu that country, that there was something de-
fective and wrong in the system by which she had
been hitherto governed. Whether this opinion were
well or ill founded, it was important that their Lord-
ships should enter into an inquiry on that subject. It
was in the power of Parliament to do much for Ire-
land, and they owed it to the country at large, and
to the deluded people in particular, to adopt the
means best calculated to remove every cause of corn-
plaint—(Hear). It was not for him to say what
should be the nature of those measures; but none
could be ignorant of the vexatious manner in which
the tithes were levied in the south of Ireland. The
means employed were, he should repeat, severe and
vexatious ; at the same time it might be true, that the
tithes could not be levied by any other, but this only
proved the necessity of altering the whole system, a
step which, he was convinced, would equally relieve
both the clergy and the people. The Petitioners
stated, that they were the owners of the tithes of thir-
tee . parishes, and that they were willing to give up
a share of their property to remove the differences
and evils which prevailed. He (t)te Duke of Devon-
shire) was proprietor of the tithes of twenty parishes,
and would willingly make large sacrifices to further,

LIGHT HOUSES.

Mr. HUMS moved for Returns of the total anima ni
Light House Dues, distinguishing the sums paid in EnglAnd,
land, and Scotland, along with the rates of chars..., as4l per
centage • also the appropriation of the surplus revenue :rising
from these dues. He also moved for Returns of the number of
Light Houses and Floating Lights in the United Kingdom,
tinguishing those which were erected by Acts of Parliament
from those.erected by individuals. Ile said that the !louse
must be aware that a large suns was raised on the shipping ••
defray the expenses of Light Houses; besides, that certain IN
dividuals held some as private property, and derived consider-
able emoluments from them. He thought there could be no
difficulty In producing these papers.
Sir ISAAC COFFIN said, he was glad that such a nlcrim

was made. It was necessary that attention should be paid to
Light Houses.. The House would scarcely believe the injury
that foreigners sustained in the Channel; many hundred thou aids
of them were drowned, and all vessels coming from the biltic
avoided the Channel when possible.
Mr. WALLACE said, that the Foreign Trade Committee
were already engaged in a similar investigation. AU the Pa2ers
moved for were now before them, and they would shortly repurt
to the Howe on the subject-.
Mr. MONEY said, it appeared to him that there was no dif.
ficulty in producing the Account moved for, but he thouzl:t a
most unjust reflection had been cast on that Institution. I:
was one from which the navy and commercial world drat,'
great advantage. When the Returns were laid bet,lL .1:e
House, he would move that they be reftrred to the
Trade-Committee.

Mr. Wau.act and Mr. Mcwav explained.

Sir JOSEPH YORKE observed, that so great a number IS
the gallant Officer (Sir I. Coffin) had stated, were nut dro.v:ltki
sine, the creation of the work

I. COFFIN admitted that he had somewhat inc:csd
the number!—(A laugh).
Mr. T. ELLIS said, that the ships trading from Ireland
England paid as much duty as foreign ships. It was a ;
that was calculated to excite astonishment, Irish
twenty years'after the Union, were c.blii:ed to pay a rate
to foreign ships, and six times the does -ha: were imposed a
English vessels.
After a few words from Sir M. «': Runts., the motion sr.:s
agreed to.

MALT DUTY.

Mr. LUSH INGTON moved the Order of the Day for going
into a Committee on the Malt Duty Repeal Bill.
On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair,
Mr. GIPPS said he regretted chat Ministers had not, in their
desire to relieve the distress of the Agriculturists, consulted these
who were competent to inform them of the best mode of carry-
ing their good wishes into effect The repeal of the Tax upon
Salt would, he thought, afford real relief.

Mr. CAIN ElLfsaid, that he had last night opposed the
progress of the Bill until a clause should be added allowing a
drawback on all Malt then on hand. He had since had a con-
' ference with the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of eat
Exchequer), who had satisfied him that no such general clause
could be added ; but the Bight Hon. Gentleman had assured
him, in the presence of other Gentlemen, that care would
taken fur remitting the repealed duty on all Malt in trandtu.—
With that understanding, he bad no objection to the House go:;:s
into a Committee on the Bill.

Sir JOSEPH YORKE said, that he was one of those per-
sons who bad given up a portion of his income for the benrat
the landed Gentlemen, and he was not sorry for it, if apts..
ture would derive any advantage from it. But however glad he
would be of giving relief to agriculture, he wits afraid they
would derive hut little front the repealtf that tax. Ile did vet
sec what benefit the reduction of that tax cooferred on any one,
except brewers and matesters. That was the rejoizing of the
Calvens and the Whitbreads !—(.l laugh)—and of :lie whole
race of brewers ! they, and nut the agricniturists, !tad cats' to
rejoice. Ile should be glad 'to know when the reduction et 3.
fractional part of a penny on the pot of porter would take plote?
He should be happy to be informed by the Representatives ei
Barleycorn—(A laugh)—when that benefit would Accrue?
Mr. CA LVERT begged permission to make one Oservations
in reference to what had fallen from the gallant Admiral. The
gallant Admiral asked what benefit the reduction of that tax gave
any but brewers, and when the halfpenny a pot would be taken
off beer. It would be seen by any one who would take the ttu.:-
[ ble to calculate it, that a halfpenny a pot would be equal to a
reduction of ills. a quarter in the duty. The reduction, how-
ever, was only tis. 61 and he would ask, how could the brew: •s
give up Os. for 6s. tid.? If, oat of 3d. for the pot, Governtaiort
bad led. and the victualler lid. the brewer was left only
How then couldite reduce a halfpenny per put fee a remission et
6s. tid. only of the duty ?
General GASCOYNE said, that the reli:f given by the re-
peal of that tax to agriculture was so trilling, that a more impo-
litic or unnecessary measure could not be passed.
After a few words from Colonel Woos), Mr. Catt.vaav, Sets
joint ()mow, and Mr. C. Smarm, the motion was agreed to.
The house then resolved itself into a Committee on the Hilt,

FOREIGN TALLOW.

Mr. Cl.; R WEN presented a Petition from the Tallow Chand-
lers of London, praying for protection against the illicit manner
in which foreign tallow was imported.—Ordered to hr printed.
The Hon. Member presented another Petition front :he Orr.-
en and Proprietors of Ships employed in the South Sea Fish
The Petitioners stated that their business was entirely dech..ing,
and the prices of whale cal so considerably reduced that they had
no profit on their capital, in consequence of the quantities cf
foreign tallow imported, on which they prayed the imposition ci
higher duties.—Ordered to be printed.
The Hon. Member then said, that it was probable his :11,Y.i.12
for that evening, respecting the Tax upon Tallow, wouhi
on very late, if at ail; and he therefore took that opportunity
of stating, that if be found it impossible to bring it on, he
would call the attention of the House to the subject on WetLies-
day next. He begged to state that he should leave out of his
view of the question everything connected with the Butter and
Cheese Trade, though that had very material reference to the
Agricultural Distress. His object in not touching upon it Wes,
that some Hon. Member connected with Ireland might take
up the subject.

ILCUESTER JAIL.

- - _
earl DARNLEY said he had to call the attention of their
Lordships to a subject that had been recently discussed is the
other House of Parliament, and which it wail impossible for
that House to pass over without some notice. He alluded to
census disgreneful abuses that had been practised in lichester
Aril. These abuses had come to light in consequence of the
complaint of Mr. Hunt, who had been confined there, and who
had severely suffered coder. them; and their existence had been
fully proved by the Cool.nission appointed to examine into them.
Whatever might be the demerits of that person in other re-
spects, the Public, in this instance, were highly indebted to him
jor having been instrumental in bringing them to light—(Hears
hear). And he trusted that their Lordships would feel that this
was a subject on which they were bound to enter into an in-
vestigation. Ile could not for a moment bring himself to think
that the members of the Government were in any way instru-
mental in inflicting on that individual the hardships of which he
complained ; but at the same time they should take care that
fuch hardships, after being once made known, should not be
suffered to continue. If such were the case, a clamour might at
any time be raised, highly injurious to the Government, by indi-
viduals whom the Public might conceive to be suffering under
unjust persecution; and by that means many characters, ob-
noxious in other respects, might acquire an undue share of po-
pularity and power. He concluded by moving that the Report
of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the stale of IL
chestet Jail be laid before the House.
The Marquis of L A NSDOWN said, that as the Secretary of
State for the Home Department had not now a seat in that
House, be wished to put a question connected with the present
motion to the Noble Earl opposite, because he wished for some
information on the subject. Some years ago the attention of
Ministers was directed to a Bill intended to be brought in for
the better regulation of prisons ; he hoped this subject had not
escaped their attention, and particularly that of the Right lion.
Gentleman who was now at the head of the Home Department.
Ile was sure that their Lordships would feel that abuses must
always exit in jails unless strict measures were established for
the regulation of them. He wished to be informed by the Noble
Earl whether this Bill was to be introduced ?
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that the subject adverted to
did at this moment occupy the attention of his Right lion. Friend
( Mr. Peel), and would be shortly laid before Parliament. He
Was not then able to say what were the precise regulations in-
tended to be adopted, but the subject was under consideration.
Lord li OL LA NI) said, the answer now given to the question
of his Noble Friend was precisely the same which had been
given on all similar occasions. The Ministers were constantly
occupied with the consideration of every subject brought before
Parliament ; and yet, with all this consideration, nothing was
ever produced.—Lord Darnley's motion was then agreed to.

A CARD.

MESS It S. JOHNSON and BURGESS (lite Joini-
sos and Wtu•tasts), Proprietors of the AMERICAN
SOOTHING SYRUP for Children cutting their Teeth, beg
leave to inform the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public in gene-
ral, that they have REMOVED to N 0.28, YORK PLACE,
CITY ROA D (from Newman-street, Oxford-street), where
the Business will be carried on in future. The very high esti-
mation in wli,ch this inestimable Medicine is held by all classes
of the comh.onity, renders it unnecess try to make any com-
ment on its virtues, more than to lc :ommend Mothers and
Nurses never to be without the" American Soothing Syrup" in
the N urse ry, for if a child wakes in the night with pains in its gums,
this valuable Medicine applied, will immediately open the porn,
Leal the gums, and thereby prevent revers or convulsiones for
should it come in competition with any other disorder, it often
destroys the mother's brightest hopes. Parents who may be
dubious of the virtues of the Soothing Syrup, may refer to the
different uses that have appeared in the Newspapers for nearly
twenty years, during which period the highest testimonials of
this invaluable Medicine have been publicly acknowledged by
some of the first Nobility and Gentry in the United Kingdom,
as equally safe in its application, mild in its action, and tfica•
eious in its Iteration. •

POLICE.

Gun.nsait.—Yesterday T. Prior, the idiot, who stabbed his
aunt, Elisabeth Martin, of Cock-lane, teas brought up. A con-
sultation lind been had with the Coroner, who deemed it im-
portant that the fact of his insanity should be decided upon by a
Jury of the country, in the event of which care would be taken
to place him in such confinement as would prevent him from
doing others mischief. With the previous evidence our Readers
ore acquainted. Prom what was.now stated, it appeared, that
the poor fellow lost the use of his intellects at about 12 yeari of age;
in consequence, as was supposed, of some injury done to the
brain, by extracting some vessels near the temple, In an ope-
ration performed upon him by the late Dr. Saunders, for the be-
sent of his eye-sight. He had, however, always been considered
rather *illy. Although the unfortunate woman received upwards
of 30 wounds, no one of them was of a nature to be considered
mortal, and her death was the result of her great age, and a
worn-out consitution, unable to sustain itself under such an at-
tack. Had a little presence of mind been used upon the occasion,
it might have prevented all the mischief; but the woman in the
room with them ran down stairs to alarm the watch, who, hearing
there was murder going on, was too timid to interfere alone, and
ran off to procure aoistance, so tirlt nearly a quarter of an hour
elapsed, during which the unfortunate victim was left to the fury
of her infatuated nephew. The conduct of the watchman, it is
understood, is to undergo investigation. In the result of the
examination Prior was committed for trial.
UNION Ham,.—Wednesday, Capt. Mace, of tbe Lord Melville
Steam Packet, which runs between London and Calais, appeared
to an information exhibited against him by Mr. Carrie, of the
Alien Office, far having brought an alien to this country, without
making a return of his being on board to the Officer at Graves-
end. The fact was proved that Captain Black knew the gentle-
man to be a foreigner. Mr. Capper said the Secretary at State
had given peremptory Instruction that the penalty should be en-
forced. The Magistrate convicted Captain Black in the penalty
of £lO. the whole of which goes to the KING. Mr. Capper asked
if the money was to be paid immediately, if not, he was ready to
put instantly a broad arrow on the vessel. Mr. Joctirec (owner
of the packet) smiled, and at once wrote a check on his banker
fur the aniouut of the conviction,
