" I have ordered the use of your Antibilious Pills in affec-
tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derangemen,
of the functions of that important organ, and connected with
a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause, chiefly,
may be attributed the various diseases of the body, both local
and constitutional.) and I have thus had frequent opportu-
nities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They greatly
influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty and in
the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs, without
occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a most ex-
cellent family aperient medicine, which may be taken at all
times with perfect safety."
They are prepared by Mr. JAMES COCKLE, Surgeon

THE LEVANT MAIL

(From the

Morning Herald of yesterday.)

We have received a mass of intelligence from Constanti-
nople, Alexandria, Smyrna, and Malta, which we subjoin in
full, as the contents of our letters and papers possess more
than usual interest.

The affairs of the east are still unsettled. Mehemet Ali
has refused to accept the conditions offered by the Porte,
and the Porte has not yet thought proper to grant the de-
sired modifications. It would appear, therefore, that this
state of things occasions some anxiety at Alexandria, parti-
cularly as Mehemet Ali is making military preparations at
Cairo, and pursuing his system of armament with more than
usual activity. The excesses of the Albanian troops in
Syria have created a great prejudice against the new order of
things in that country ; but it is understood that the Sultan
has determined on recalling those marauders, and taking
measures for a better adtmnistmion of Syria in future.
Among our eastern intelligence will be found the report of a
speech addressed by Lord Ponsonby to the other ambassa-
dors in the late discussion respecting the terms to be offered
to Mehemet Ali. If the report be genuine (and our cor-
respondent sends it as under that belief,) it will be seen that
his lordship possesses the quality of a good hater, and that
Mehemet Ali has no friend in him at Constantinople.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERI. OF PLATE, AND DE-
STRUCTION OF VALUABLE PROPERTY AT
WINDSOR CASTLE.

WINDSOII, SUNDAY EVENING.—A robbery of silver
plate and other property, to a very large amount, the whole
extent of which has not yet been ascertained, has just been
committed at the castle "; but the secrecy which has hitherto
prevailed throughout the establishment on the subject, and
the great difficulty of procuring information relative to that
portion of the property which is known to be missing or
destroyed, and other particulars connected with the depre-
dation, must be the excuse for any trifling inaccuracies which
may be found in the annexed statement. _

The person against whom strong suspicions are enter-
tained, in consequence of his having absconded as soon as
the discovery has been made, is a porter in the Stores' De-
partment, which is under the superintendence of Mr.
Saunders, the general inspector under the Lord Chamber-

lain. He is a man in the receipt of not more than a guinea
a week, but one in whom great reliance had been placed.

The property stolen is stated to consist of upwards or l
cwt. of silver articles' and portions of silver furniture of va-
rious descriptions. Among the latter is a splendid solid
silver table, highly chased, which, it appears, had been pla-
ced, with other stores of a similar character, in a closet near
the state-apartments, secured in a case, under lock and key,
for some time past. The four solid silver legs, lam informed,
have been wrenched off, and likewise the top, by means of a
chisel (the marks of which are clearly perceptible), from the
wood to which it was secured.
I am informed that a room in the castle, which has not
been used for some time, was shortly to be fitted up, and
that this table, amongst other articles of furniture and orna-
ment, would have been required for that purpose. Upon
opening the case in which it had been kept the robbery was
discovered, and the necessary inquiries were immediately in-
stituted. It is likewise stated that some massive silver
looking-glass frames have been partially stripped, and a por-
tion of the silver of which they were composed forcibly
dragged off.

COAL.--Mr. George Stephenson has proposed to purchase
the whole of the coal in the township of Topton, Brimington,
and Newbold, Derbyshire; and on the 12th instant a meet-
ing was held in Chesterfield, to take the proposal into con-
sideration. "As some gentlemen (says the Sheffield Iris)
wished for alittle more time for considering Mr. Stephenson's
proposal, that gentleman agreed to let it stand good a few
weeks longer; but a sufficient number of owners having
agreed to accept his terms, we have great pleasure in stating
that proceedings will be commenced forthwith. We may,
therefore, expect soon to see operations commenced in
opening collieries and lime-works on an extensive scale.—
Preston Pilot.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 30, 1841

It is understood, by most of our readers, that our

local contemporary the Mercury is a journal principally
occupied, in its original editorial department, (a de-
partment in which, by the by, it is exceedingly origi-
nal) with inquiries and speculations much out of the
course of every-day journalism, and that its ingenious
editor has, by his well-directed labo rs, frequently re-
duced to a matter of science and demonstration almost
mathematical, trifles of common occurrence, and which
people in general pass by as unworthy of a moment's
thought. We are not sure on which of these he is

most engaged at this moment, nor are we concerned
on the Subject just now. Our attention is at present
engaged by a certain exhibition of extreme views put
forward by him on a politico-religious topic, which we
scarcely expected at his hands.
In his last number he has been led aside, we know
not by what accident, from his favourite pursuits and
speculations, and launches a bolt which shows by its
aim some desperate and deadly aim on his part. His
topic is the affair of Mr. Baines, the Dissenting mar-
tyr of Leicester, and the debate on Mr. Easthope's mo-
tion
on the 18th instant; and such is his impatience at
the result, that, in his haste, he seems ready to quarrel
with all the world. He denounces Sir It. H. Inglis,
and his own particular friend, Lord John Russell—
Tory and Whig alike.; snaps his fingers at lawyers,
judges, common law, and, we were going to add, com-
mon sense alike; and' concludes by warning THE
CHURCH of certain downfal, it she do not speedily
attend to his advice and amend her ways. "For Doc-
tor Nichols' legal dictum," he says, " and the decision
, of the judges in the Braintree case, that, by the com-
mon law of the land, the parishioners are bound to
support the fabric of the Church, we feel as great re--
spect—(viz. contempt)—as for Sir Robert Inglis's lo-
gic or Lord John Russell's historical references; and
he concludes in these words :
" A. few more cases like these of Messrs. Baines and Tho-
rogood, and the feeling will be general through the land that
such cases do involve a punishment for acting conscientious-
ly, and are a violation of the principles of religious freedom,
whatever the House of Commons may say to the contrary."
We have examined some of the reasoning by which
our contemporary has been unfortunately led thus to
stand out, as it were, against the world, and have found
it to be singularly inconclusive. He says, for instance,
that " for every other tax the payer receives something
in the nature of a quid pro quo ; but for the tax levied
in support of a church to which he does not belong, h'e
not only receives nothing, but is absolutely compelled
to contribute towards the maintenance of that which he
believes to be erroneous."

Here our contemporary is under a complete mistake
of FACT; but his fault is ignorance. He does not
know how much a man may owe to the Church through
indirect channels—how much the safety of his own
person and property is derived from that orderly and
moral state of society which the Church is mainly the

instrument of creating and maintaining. A man's ig-
norance, however, does not alter the actual relation of
things, and has only the effect of making him act un-
gratefully and appear ridiculous, when, had he been
better informed, he might have escaped notice. A man
is bound to contribute to the repair or making of a
road, whether he travel that road or not, and it would
he no excuse for non-payment to say that he did not
consider it the best road, or that he did not himself
use it : he must tell down his quota to the common
good, and the world has long since agreed, that he

suffers no hardship whatever in being made to pay.
The same rule holds good with regard to the Church,
but is much stronger than in the case supposed, be-
cause here there is no question whatever as to their
being a real quid pro quo. In the case of the road it
might he otherwise ; here it is not possible.
His next argument is not so easily understood. Lord
John Russell quoted CHRIST'S command, "render
unto Cmsar the things that are Cmsar's, and to GOD
the things that are Gov's"; and defied, as we think
he might justly do, any scripturally guided Dissenter
to get over that authority. But what says our brilliant
contemporary, the Mercury :

" The mere mandate to pay to Czcsar what is due to Coesar,
and to God what belongs to God, is so far from serving his
lordship's argument, that it constitutes the reason and autho-
rity of the conscientious dissenter for not paying for the sup-
port of a religion which he believes to be erroneous and
offensive to God."

Now, we ask, was there ever exhibited more wretched
and contemptible sophistication, or rather sheer non-
sense, than that ? The command is broad and gene-
ral, and admits of no exception—harmonising with
that of the apostle Peter, " submit yourselves to every
ordinance of man, for the LORD'S sake." Caesar is
" the state ;" and whatever tax or tribute the state or-
ders to be paid, it is the duty of every subject to pay.
Such is the command, and it is open to no exception.
It does not signify for what purpose the tax may be
levied ; and Lord John Russell correctly stated, that
the early Christians did, in paying Caesar's tribute mo-
ney, necessarily contribute to the support of the hea-
then temple and idolatrous worship, and that they
must have been quite aware of it. This was another
lunge at the " sufferers for conscience sake" in our
time ; but our adventurous old friend the Mercury
makes an attempt to parry the thrust. He says,—
" The tribute which the Jews were commanded to pay was
not levied for the support of the Heathen fanes, as the church
rate is for the maintenance of Christian temples,—but for
the general purposes of the empire. If Lord John Russell
could have shown that a direct tax was levied for the support
of the temple of Jupiter, at Rome, or for the expenses at-
tendant on the worship of Venus, at Rhodes, and that our
Saviour directed the Jews to pay that tax, this direct sanction
of the payment of a compulsory tax for the support of a reli-
gion which the Jews held in abhorrence, would have been
something to the purpose.,

Nov granting, for argument sake, that there was no
specific tax for the heathen temple, it is certain that
the support of idolatrous worship was one of the " ge-
neral purposes of the empire" to which its revenues
