LATEST PARTICULARS

As soon as the inquest had terminated, the valet (Courvoi-
sier) returned to the house in Norfolk-street, where he still
remains with the two female servants, and is under the
surveillance of Inspector Tedman of the D division, and a
sergeant and constable of the C division. Every exertion is
being made by the police to discover, if possible, the young
man Carr, but up to a late hour last night, their efforts had
been unsuccessful. During the whole of the day an immense
concourse of persons, the greater portion of whom appeared
to be most respectable, had congregated in front of the de-
ceased's residence, and whilst the jury were sitting the number
had so increased, that the street was completely blocked up.
After the verdict had been returned the parties began to
move off, but very many remained round the house the
greater part of the night.

The motto of our modern agitators is " to keep within the
law, and effect that which is out of the pale of it."
We beg to direct the attention of our readers to the follow-
ing communication, addressed to Messrs. Rowland and Son,
20, Hatton-garden, London, whose advertisement appears in
another column :—Gentlemen,--I have been prevailed upon
by a friend to try your Macassar Oil, and have indeed found
it of amazing benefit in my family ' • four of my children, a
few years ago, were ill with the scarlet fever, and, until about
three months since, there was not the least appear'ance of
hair upon their heads. The medical geiftlemen who attended
them gave no hopes of ever returning ; but, after using
your Macassar Oil a short time, I found, to my great delight,
their heads covered with short strong hair, which is now daily
improving. You are at liberty to make whatever use you
please of this letter to your advantage ; as I live in the coun-
try, I have taken the present opportunity of conveying it by
a friend to you.—l am, gentlemen, your humble servant,
JANET SMITH.

FRENCH JUSTICE.—An action was tried a few days ago
before the Tribunal of Commerce, Paris, in which Messrs.
Rowland and Son, London, of Macassar Oil celebrity, were
plaintiffs, and Messrs. Gueland, Messier, and Amaret, in
Paris, were defendants. Messrs. Rowland complained that
the defendants had, in order to insure a sale fora composition
which they also called Macassar Oil, imitated their bottles
and labels, and thus injured the reputation of the genuine
article, and diminished its sale. The tribunal deciding that
foreigners trading with France were entitled to protection
against a fraud of this description, sentenced the defendants,
who sold the Macassar Oil bearing false labels, to pay 600 f.
each, and 500 f. for every new contravention f which they
may be guilty ; and ordered other defendants, who were the
manufacturers of the bottles, and printers of the labels, to de-
liver none of the same description without the authority of
Messrs. Rowland. The Tribunal, in giving its judgment in
this case, mentioned, among the motives of its decision, that
a foreigner, bringing into France either a manufacture or
manufactured objects, ought to receive the same protection
as a French subject ; that in the present instance, it was ne-
cessary to secure to the plaintiffs, not only their property, but
also their commercial name which no one else had a right to
make use of ; that good faith and equity were of all coun-
tries, and that the Tribunal could not suffer the public to be
deceived by speculations, which good faith and equity alike
condemned • and in line, that it was of importance for foreign
traders in France to receive that protection from the French
laws. which it was to be hoped. French traders would, in
return, meet with in other countries.
EARLY SPRING FODDER.—Mr. James Clayton, of Cade-

ley, near this town, has, during the present week, cut some
Italian Rye Grass, the seed of which was sown in the autumn
of last year, after an early crop of potatoes. It was two
feet high, and of a fine quality, and he expects to cut it twice
more during the summer. This prolific grass seed only
requires to be sown every two years.—Preston Chronicle.
THE Can' OF Woor..—We understand that fifteen pence
per lb. was offered to one of the agriculturists for his fleece
wool ; but those terms, which are lower than have formerly
been obtained, were declined, in the expectation that trade
will be improved in the course of a month or two. At
present; owing to the scarcity of the circulating medium and
other circumstances, business of all kinds is extremely flat.—
Worcester Journal.
LUDLOW ELECTION.—The Radicals had a secret meeting
on Tuesday night last, and it is supposed that in the event of
a new writ being issued Sir William Somerville will be
brought forward, the immaculate Mr. Alcock, the coal-
merchant, bestowing the influence arising from the black
diamonds. They are now engaed in a secret canvas. No
candidate is yet named on the Conservative interest.—Ten
Towns' Messenger.

HYDROPHOBIA.—We stated, last week that a large dog,
in a highly rabid state, was killed at Undcrskiddaw, near
Keswick. A few days ago, a dog, labouring under hydro-
phobia made its appearance in Eskdale, and though pursued
by the inhabitants of the vale, and eventually destroyed, it
is supposed to have bitten nearly every dog in Eskdale, the
owners of which have resolved to tie up the animals for some
time to come, in order to prevent further mischief. It is
said that canine madness exists to a considerable extent in
that part of the country. At Cockermouth also it is said,
that several dogs have within the last few days exhibited
symptoms of hydrophobia, and a great number were in con-
sequence destroyed.—Carlisle Patriot.
A meeting of great importance in the annals of agricultu-
ral local improvement. was held at Peterborough on the 23d
ult. and was attended by all the principal persons in the
neighbourhood, Lord Fitzwilliain being in the chair. The
object was to improve the navigation of the river Nene, from
the sea to Peterborough, so as to render that place an inland
seaport, connecting itself with the towns of Northampton,
Leicester, Market Harborough, Stamford, &c., and, at the
same time, to drain 50,000 acres of valuable and fertile fens,
to lay dry Whittlesea Mere, and to carry lines of road
through the country intended to be drained, whereby the
distance between London and Hull may be diminished ten
miles and upwards. Resolutions were adopted by the meet-
ing highly favourable to the promotion of these valuable ob-
jects.

SINGULAR PATENT.—A patent of a somewhat singular
description has lately been taken out : it is for an invention
to supersede the ordinary wooden letters usually fixed upon
the facia of shop windows. The new letters are made of por-
celain, of every form and hue, and when fixed up, present a
beautiful and attractive appearance. The facility of cleansing
them is not the least of their qualifications ; for with a sponge
they are immediately brought to their pristine beauty and
elegance. They will not exceed the old wooden letters in
price, and they will last for ever : therefore, with beauty,
economy, durability, and facility of cleansing to back them,
' it will be strange, indeed, if they do not succeed in charming
the shopkeepers into their speedy adoption. Some of the
patterns are positively quite elegant, particularly the golden
ones, and, being glazed, presented a dazzling and animated
appearance. They are not quite ready for public use ; but it
is expected they will soon arrive from the manufactory in
Staffordshire.

to have been so well satisfied with the prisons of Berlin.
These are in fact, on account of the want of room and too
