BY R. and L. PERRY and Co., CONSULTING SURGEONS, BIRMINGHAM AND LEEDS. Published by the Authors, and sold by STRANGE,21, Paternoster-row; WILSON, 18, Bishopgate-street; PURKIS, Compton-street, Soho; JACKSON and Co., 130, New Bond-street, Tondon; GUEST, Steelhouse- lane, Birmingham BUCTON, 50, Briggate, Leeds; and by all Booksellers in Town and Country. The Cordial Balm of Syriacum a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaint3 as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System, whether constitutional or acquired, loss of sexual power, and syphilitic disease and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who by early indulgence in solitary habits have weakened the powers of their system, and fallen into a state of chronic debility, by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state, and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life. The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result, but branch to moral ones; leading the excited, deviating mind Into a fertile field of seductive error— into a gradual and total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species; bringing on premature decrepitude, and all the habitudes of old age:—such a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men, but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain. How many men cease to be men, or at least, cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself? the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment, covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature, and impregnating the wholesome stream of life with mortal poison conveying into fa- milies the seeds of disunion and unhappiness; under- mining domestic harmony and striking at the very soul of human Intercourse. The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation and the debility and disease resulting from early indis- cretion demand, for the cure of those dreadful evils, that sueh medicines should be employed that are most certain to be successful. It is for these cases Messrs. Perry & Co.. particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons, who, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitutions, or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable !tate, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, excess, irregu- larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total impotency, barrenness, &c. As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate coughs, shortness of breath, or consumptive habits and debility arising from syphilis. It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head- ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wandering of the mind, vapours and melancholy; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use. And even where the disease of STERILITY appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution, the softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices, increase the animal spirits, invigorate and revive the whole animal machine, and remove the use impedi- ment to maternity. This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the MATRIMONIAL STATE, lest in the event of procreation occurring, the innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility, or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency, that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence. Sold in Bottles, price Ils. each, or the quantity of four in one Family Bottle for 33s., by which one l Js. Bottle is saved. Prepared only by Messrs. PERRY and Co., Surgeons, 4, Great Charles-street. Birmingham, and 44, Albion- street, Leeds. fggr Observe, none are genuine without the signa- ture of impressed on a Stamp on the outside of each wrapper, to imitate which is felony of the deepest dye.

The following are a few of the numerous testimo- nials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an advertisement will only allow of being published:- The rage for books in all departments of science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the present time.—The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very consider- able proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books.—With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled MANHOOD; nor did it require much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp.—The scienti- fic views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons.—To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be daparting from the established rules of the daily press.-The result, however, of our careful peru- sal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for furnishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir. Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled MANHOOD, is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to tbe character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.- The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invaluable. -Magnet, The persual of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitled MANHOOD, has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats.—The clear con- nexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strong- ly recommend the work.-Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay, most of them of a very questionable ten- dency, made us extremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by any intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesitation in saying that we rise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases, which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of temperature, hereditary taint, etc., is truly convincing and extremely satisfactory.—We say satisfactory," in as much as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consump- tion, Epilepsy, etc., hitherto the approbria of medicine, may, when taken in proper time and submitted to judicious treatment, be brought to as favourite a ter- mination, as any other class of affectiotis.- We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.-Con- servative Journal. This is a work that we fear there exists too much need for, to cause us to hesitate to reconmend it for areneral perusal. Every branch of those frightful ma- ladies, whether the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is here succinctly treated, and, divested of all medical technicality, plain and easy directions are given for the best D'ode to be pursued in all cases, however complicated or apparently hopeless. To the married, as well as the unmarried, this little work alike affords consolation and cure in peculiar cases, and we are doing a service to society in recommend- ing it to general notice.-FSSCX and Herts Mercury.

I was called to a lady, the subject of spasm and sickness at the stomach, who had taken from advice various remedies without benefit. The spasm increased upon her to that degree as to make it doubtful whether or not it was accompanied with inflammation. It struck me that ordering her a Seidlitz Power, with a tea-spoonful of your invaluable Ethereal Essence of Ginger, it might give relief. Ten minutes after its administration the patient was not only relieved, but did not require my further assistance; and from the effect of this admixture, if I were asked what medi- cines I would advise families to keep by them, I should say Seidlitz Powders, and Woodhouse's Ethereal Es- sence of Ginger, This is noi the first instance I have had the opportunity of seeing its wonderful effect in cases of spasm. cases of spasm.

And I am enabled also to state that the character of the Lozenges stands high amongst Singers, I have been told by several that they possess in an eminent degree the property of ren- dering the voice clear. "PHILIP HOWMAN." Winchcomb, January 16tb, 1840." I can confidently add my testimony to the efficacy of your Lozenges; the apparently high price at which they are sold presented their introduction sooner into this neighbourhood; but complaints on the ( liest having been very prevalent of late, persons were in- duced to try tllp effects of the Medicine; and it can be attested without fear of contradiction, that in every instance, after a fair trial, considerable relief bus been experienced, and many perfect cures performed. I am myself anxious the Lozenges should find their way into every house, having experienced singular benefit in my own family. I have not heard of their being tried in Hooping Cough, but in violent Colds and Asthma they have literally performed wonders. U. HOUHTON." Chorl. ey, March 13th, 1840."
FOHEICX INTELLIGENCE-I
FOHEICX INTELLIGENCE-I AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE. I LIVERPOOL, MARCH 20,—The Garrick, from New York, came up the river Mersev this day at three o'clock she sailed from the city on the 28th ultimo. and left Sandy Hook on the 1st instant; she had brought papers to the 26th. In the Senate, on the 21st ult., a message was received from the President, transmitting a communication from the Secretary of State, in reply to Mr. Walker's reso- lution, calling for information relative to the 1 action of the government in the case of the Creole. The documents were read. They consisted of Mr. Webster's instructions to Mr. Everett, the United States Minister at the Court of St. James, in regard to the case of that vessel, and the argument on which the United States government rests for a demand for redress from Ö the government of Great Britain. The argument was considered able, and it seemed to be perfectly satisfactory to the senators from the south. In the House of Representatives, on the 21st ultimo, Mr. Allen, of Maine, offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the President of the United States (if not incompatible with the public interests) to communicate to the house the state of the negociations between the United States and Great Britain, in relation to the North Eastern Boundary in the state of Maine; and also all correspondence on the subject between the two governments not heretofore communicated. The President sent, on the 26th, a message in answer to the resolution. He informed the house that, in his then judgment, no communication could be made by him at this time on the subject of the I resolution, without detriment and danger to the public interests. The Governor of Massachusetts had sent a measure to the legislature also relative to the North Eastern Boundary. Deeming it probable that Great Britain might shortly pro- pose a conventional boundary, he bad thought it his duty to bring the subject under their consi- deration, that provisions might be made for mak- ing known the sentiments of the commonwealth, in case terms of compromise should be designed with a view to a settlement. The morey and stock markets of New York had been quiet during the week preceding the sailing of the Garrick. Money was sufficiently abundant, and foreign exchanges were III such a state as to allow of only small shipments of coin. A run had taken place on the Lafayette Bank, one of the safety funds bank of New York; but, though it had met the run promptly until noon, the bank commissioners served an injunction on the bank, and its doors were closed. It was ex- pected that its assets would be more than suffi- cient to meet its liabilities. The State Legislature of Pennsylvania bad not finally agreed to the Resumption bill. It had passed the Senate by a vote of 20 to 11, and re- turned to the House of Representatives, where, after having received some amendments, it was ready to be sent to the Senate for concurrence. No doubt was entertained of its becoming law, and the banks of Philadelphia were pressing for the resumption of cash payments. Money was, therefore, scarce, and bank facilities were re- stricted. The House of Representatives of Louisiana had passed, with but one dissenting voice, a resolution declaring that the state of Louisiana holds her pledged faith as sacred and inviolable; and that they regard a repudiation of state obligations as unconstitutional and unjust, as repugnant to every principle of honour and common honesty, and as having a direct tendency to deprave private inte- grity, and to corrupt the morals of the people." The Locofoco committee of the House of Repre- sentatives of Mississippi had, on the contrary, made a report on the subject of the state bonds, and had appended a resolution solemnly denying any obligation of the state or the people to pay the bonds, and formally repudiating the whole debt! During a debate which succeeded, a Mr. Murchison (Whig) made some remarks which offended one Flournoy, a pro-swindler, who waited till the adjournment, and, providing himself with a large leaden inkstand, threw it at Mr. Murchison as he was descending the steps. It missed its mark and struck another person. The Montevidean brig of war, which was cap- tured by Admiral Brown's squadron, and carried into Buenos Ayres, was the Cagnacha, of 14 guns. Her crew consisted of 103 persons, of whom five seamen were killed, and eight seamen and one officer wounded. The prisoners were landed and marched to the Cabildo prison. At the latest date Brown was off Montevideo waiting for Coe, who was cruising in the environs of Point Piedras. The Canada papers brought by the Garrick come down to the 24th ult., but they do not con- tain any news of general interest. The Royal West India mail steamer Clyde, Captain Woodruff, arrived at New York on the 27th ult. She arrived at Charleston on the even- ing of the 22d from Granada, via St. Croix, St. Thomas's, Turk's Island, Nassau, and Savannah, and left Charleston for New York on the 22d. She was to proceed to Halifax, Nova Scotia, re- turning the same wav to New York, thence to Charleston, Savannah, and Havannah. The Clyde brought 11 days later news from England than bad previously arrived. (From the Charleston Mercury.) I FROM HAVANNAH. I TROUBLES IN CUBA.-CApt. Morris informs us that when he left Havannah, on the 15th instant, there was "considerable excitement" there, owing to a difference of opinion, or some other difference, between the Governor General and the British steam-packet. The latter was going off without passing her mails through the Post-office, accord- ing to the laws of the place. She was stopped, and the Governor-General said or swore, that if she moved out, he would sink her as she passed the Moro. The matter was still unadjusted when the Hayneleft; the British steamer was lying very quiet, and nobody knew how it would end. Rumour said the Governor-General had sent the captain of the steamer word, that unless he com- plied with the laws he would imprison him forth- with. There are the seeds of trouble in this, and we may as well keep an eye on the progress of British enterprise" in Cuba. It is quite as inte- resting as their doings in China just now. IMPORTANT FROM CARTHAGENA.—Col. Gregg and some other British subjects, either from some real or imaginary offence, were incarcerated by the Carthagenian government. The Colonel having applied to the British Consul resident there for protection, that functionary interested himself on his behalf, but his intercession proving unsuccess- ful, he communicated the particulars to Lieut. De Courcy, ofher Majesty's ship Charybdi8, then in the neighbourhood. Lieut. De Courcy despatched an officer with a letter to the Commodore of the squadron at anchor in the port, demanding the release of Col. Gregg and the other British subjects. This letter, because it was not written in Spanish, was treated with contempV-and the bearer with much hauteur. On the officer's return to the Charybdis, and reporting these circuaistances to his Commander, Lieutenant De Courcy immedi- ately entered the port; and when proceeding to an anchorage he was fired into by the Commodore's vessel, a corvette, and the forestay of the Charybdis shot away. Lieutenant De Courcy then took up a position, and, however desperate such a position may have appeared on his part, in so small a vessel against so apparently overwhelming a force he did not overrate the bravery of his little band, for after a short fight the corvette surrendered, the Commodore and 25 of his men having been killed. A brig and three schooners, that came to the assistance of the corvette, were attacked in turn by the Charybdis. In five minutes after the Charybdis brought her guns to bear on the brig she was sunk, and the schooners soon after sur- rendered. The Charybdis carries but three guns, one long one amidships, and two carronades, and her full complement of officers and men is but. 55. The cause of the fight alluded to above was, that the brig Jane and Sarah, whilst lying at Sapote, in company with the sloo Little William, was, on the 6th ultimo, boarded by Gen. Carmona's squadron, both vessels plundered to a large amount of goods and specie, crew imprisoned, and Col. Gregg and three other passengers of the Jane and Sarah shot. One of the most violent hurricanes ever wit- nessed in Paris raged in that city from Wednesday evening till the hour of post on Thursday. Im- mense damage has been done by it. A cloelmaker of Chrlons, M. Rabiet, has taken out a patent for a new clock which winds itself up in the act of striking. The mechanism is said to be so simple that these new clocks can be sold at a low price. THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERANS, in Russia, have 574 churches aud 301 chapels. The Emperor has granted twentv thousand roubles bancho for build- ing them another church at Minsk. The Reformed Religion has 32 churches and 4 chapels. EARTHQUAKES. Considerable alarm has been felt throughout the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily during the last two months. At Rosano in the Lower Abruzzi, and at Patti in Sicily, the earth- quake was felt at intervals during four days from the 19th to the 22nd of January. Teramo, Citta St. Angelo, Vicali Torre di Passeri, in the Upper Abruzzi and Chieti and Lanciono, in the Lower Abruzzi, have been visited with this scourge, which ij spread desolation among the inhabitants. j

H ER MAJESTY'S SLIPPERs.-The Queen wore at the levee a splendid diamond bracelet, containing the portrait <*e the King of Prussia. The dia- monds in her Majesty's head, stomacher, and train, were also unusutflv brilliant. Her Majesty wore a beautiful pair of satin slippers, embroid- ered by the Duchess of Kent, and made open at the heels on the eastern style. The Queen's feet are so remarkably small that no lady has yet been II found who could wear the mignom slippers of Queen Victoria. The Prime Minister has now four garters at his disposal, caused by the deaths of the Earl of Westmorland, the Duke of Cleveland, the Mar- quis of Hertford, and the Duke of Norfolk. SnCIDE or THE EARL or MUNSTER.—At mid- night last Sunday, Lord Munster terminated his existence at his own house in Be'.grave-street. He i had not been well for some time. The footman hear ing the report of a pistol ran to the library where he foun d the body prostrate on the floor, and his head f rightfully shattered by the contents of a pistol, which he appeared to have discharged! at his mouth. The a!arm was instantly given, and me dical assistance called in but it was of no avail, for death must have been almost instantaneous. The late nobleman was, besides being the Earl of Munster, Viscount Fitzclarence and Baron of Tewkesbury, in the peerage of the United King- dom, &c. &c. He was born Jan. 16, 1794, and was consequently in his 49th year. He was the eldest son of King William the Fourth, by the celebrated actress, Mrs. Jordan. Last Monday a Coroner's inquest was held on the biviy, when evidence was given of the depressed and nervous state of his Lordship, whose solicitor said that his Lordship's family wished that it should be I known that his sensitiveness was extremely ex- cited by the intelligence received from the seat of war in Central Asia, and that be was greatly agi- tated and depressed at the fate of the females w ho it was reported had been captured at Cabool, Ver- dict: Ttiat deceased died by his own hand, whilst in a state of temporary mental derange- ment." SUICIDE OF A LANDLORD.—T. Forster, Esq., near Alnwick, a gentleman of considerable landed pro- perty, committed suicide last week by hanging himself on a tree in a plantation on his estate at Ratcbwood. The present Marquis of Hertford has declared his determination to dismiss foreign servants and to employ English tradesmen only. The body of the late Marquis lay in state on Monday in the great hall of Dorchester House. On Tuesday the state funeral commenced, and continued to High Wycombe. The body was to reach Raev Park, Warwickshire, yesferday (Friday), and the funeral to take place to-night at midnight. DEATH OF THE EARL OF MACCLESFIELD.—This nobleman expired last Monday evening, at seven o'clock, at his town residence in Conduit-street. The Earl has for some months past been confined to his bed. He was born the 24th Feb., 1755, and had consequently attained the age of 87. He was Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the county of Oxford (which, of course, becomes now in the gift of the premier); High Steward of Hen- lev a Doctor of Civil Law, and a Fellow of the Royal Society. The noble earl is succeeded in the family honours and estates by his only brother, the Hon. Thomas Parker. Her Majesty's Theatre, on Tuesday was full. Her Majestv was present; the Duke of Welling- ton was just below, in the box next to the omnibus, in which was Lords Cardigan and Adolphus Fitz- clarence, Sir Massev Stanley, &c. Lady Allesbury has got the same box that she occupied last year. There were also the Duke of Brunswick, Lord Waterford, Mrs. Dennistoun, Lord Pembroke, and other fashionables. The performances went off with general satisfaction. Lucia di Lammermoor was rehearsed on Wednesday evening, when the new tenor, Guasco, surpassed the expectations of his most sanguine admirers. The orchestra and chorus testified their approbation by continued applause-a most unusual occurrence. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—On Tuesday night Miss Adelaide Kemble appeared in a new charac- ter, of a very different stamp from those which she had previously performed—Susanna, in The Marriage of Fi°garo She was triumphantly suc- cessful. CORN-I..Aws.-No fewer than 3,436 petitions have been presented during the present session (to March 9) to the House of Commons, on the subject of the Corn-laws, signed by 1,615,906 persons. Of these, 719, with 484,196 signatures, pray for the repeal of the Corn-laws 444, with 268,150 signatures, pray for the repeal of the Corn-laws and for freedom of trade 2,042, with 776,328 signatures, pray for the repeal of the corn and provision laws three only, signed by 317 persons, pray "against the repeal of the Corn-laws and six only, with 687 signatures, pray for the proposed measure:" Ni-lille 142, with 83,007 signatures, pray against the" pro- posed measure." The other 79 petitions pray for or against the various minor details of Sir R. Peel's bill. RESCKRECTION OF THE TORY TAX ON COAL.- The good people of Newcastle, Sunderland, Stock- ton, and the neighbourhood, were mightily aston- ished, as well they might be, on Saturday last, by Sir Robert Peel's announcement, to the House of Commons, of his intention to recommend that the I exports of coal to foreign countries should be taxed to the extent of four shillings per ton. Many per- sons thought there must be some mistake, Sir Robert having taken pains, on several occasions, to express his desire to promote, instead of dis- couraging, a commerial intercourse with other nations. The tariff, however, has since been printed; and at the end of the voluminous docu- ment the Tory truth peeps out—" Coal exported, in any ship, to any place, not being a British pos- session, being made chargeable with the enor- mous (if not totally prohibitory) duty, of four shillings per ton The Chamber of Commerce, the Shipowners' Society, and other influential bodies of Newcastle, have protested against the project; and we trust their remonstrances will succeed in averting so grievous an evil as a tax on coal would inflict upon all classes in the North of England.— Gateshead Observer. CLOVER SEED.— The clover seed market was thrown into a state of great alarm and embarrass- ment at the beginning of the last week, and a complete stagnation of business caused in it, in consequence of the announcement of the proposed reduction in the amount of duty on the importa- tion of foreign clover seed, as proposed in the new tariff by the government. Various opinions were formed upon the probable effect the alteration would have on the prices of the stock on hand and in bond, and the uncertainty on the subject was such as to cause an entire suspension of the trade. In this state of things a memorial was sent to Sir Robert Peel, representing the circumstances, and the injury likely to result should any change take place before the termination of the present season, to which an answer has been received agreeing that no alteration shall be made before the mouth of June next at the earliest, which has had the effect of restoring confidence, and business will be resumed as usual this week. Meantime prices may be quoted firm as before. THE LATE OUTRAGE IN PAitla.-In OUT last number we alluded to the attempt made by Lord William Paget to vindicate his charac- ter, and that of his lady, from the odium that attached to them in consequence of Miss Bellew's statement. That lady has since pub- lished an account of the transaction, the perusal of which can leave no doubt on the mind that she herself was credulous, and the conspirators against her purse and person were at least of la very enterprising character. Miss B. accuses his lord- ship of being the "man at the top of the stair- case" whom she encountered when flying from the intrusion hints intelligibly at his cognizance of some deleterious drug being administered to her in a cup of cofiee, and that Lady William, with himself, were parties in the Cassidy conspiracy. AUGMENTATION OF THE ARMY. The greatest activity prevails at the Horse Guards, and it is in contemplation to raise a second regiment of cavalry or of adding 50 additional men to eight of the cavalry regiments. The augmentation of six battalions of infantry, 14 companies of 800 rank and file to 12 companies of 1,200 rank and file, will be effected by the selection of 36 officers, 108 non-commissioned ofifcers, and 2,400 privates. Two squadrons of the 14th light dragoon?, which have not long since arrived in India, e been or red to leave their quarters at Poonah to reinforce the army destined to avenge our disasters in Cabul. We have been informed that all the oiffcers in the service of the East India Coiepany now on furlough, except those above the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, have received orders to join their regiments in India. A few minutes before ten o'clock last Friday night a most, destructive fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. W ilson and Co., hat-manufac- turers, Holland-street, at the foot of Blackfriars- bridge. Damage done X3,000. THE EARTHQUAKE.—The scene witnessed in the neighbourhoods of St. GiWs find Seven Dials du- rinz the -.i- h o l e of l17e.( I l, e ring the whole of Wednesday was perhaps the most singular that has presented itself for manv years. Many of the Irish had left, but by far the larger number had been compelled to remain. The frantic cries, the incesNant appeals to heaven for deliverance, heard on every .side during the day, sufficiently evidenced the power with which this popular delusion bad seized the minds of those superstitious people. Towards the close of the day a large number of them determined not to re- main in London during the night, and, with what few things they possessed, took their departure for what they considered more favoured spots. The poor Irish, however, are not the only persons who have been credulous in this matter; many persons from whom better things might have been expectod were amongst the number who left Lon- don to avoid the threatened catastrophe. DEATH OF THE ELECTRICAL EEL.—The electrical eel at the Royal Adelaide Gallery died on Monday morning. It had been ill for a week, but it was not until Thursday last that there was anv striking difference observable. It became inactive, and this inactivity increased to torpor. The cause of his death was mortification. It was brought to this country from ore of the many tributary streams of the river of the At-iitzons, about four years ago, and was the only one of its kind in Europe. Its food was small fish, which it could stun and stnpify by an electric shock, at two feet distance. It always stunned and stifled these fish before it ate them. It was young when brought over here, and was blind sometime before his death. CAL TIoN-A DUI,TEqArr D BFF.R.—On Saturday, at the Court of Excise, Mr. Frederick Biogg, a brewer, of West-street. Somers-town, and Henry Walker, a chemist and druggist., in Skinner street, St. Pancras, were charged, the former with having in his possession, and the other with selling, (knowing for what purpose they were to be ap- plied) a quantity of grains of paradise, liquorice, linseed, carraway-seed, cayenne-pepper, and o:Ler compounds. The proceeding was instituted under an Act passed in the reign of George III., chap. 53, which declares that if a brewer be found pos- sessed of either of the above articles, he shall pay a penalty of £ 200 and if a druggist sell either of them to a brewer, he shall pay a penalty not exceeding £ 500. From the evidence of three gentlemen connected with the Excise, the charge was fully proved. Mr. BJog-g admitted his inten- tention of putting the grain into the beer to improve the flavour. The ale on the premises was found to be adulterated. Mr. Walker admit- ted selling the articles to Mr. Blogg, well knowing what they were to be used for; he also said that Mr. nlogg: bad been a weekly customer for such articles, and also for coculus indicus for three years past, and that he had often hinted that some day or other they would be found out. The defendants pleaded guilty, and threw themselves on the mercy ot the court. Sir John Mortlock, after lecturing the defendants, and remarking upon the gross fraud which they had committed on the public, ordered them each to pay a penalty of £ 200. 1 AX ON PROPERTY.— TAX ON INCOME.—Let us take two individuals—A. n. and C. D., both mar- aud, and with families. A. B. derives an annual income f 1,000l. from realised property in lands, houses, funds, or other species of that sort. The other C. D., derives an equal annual income from Pprsorial industry, avocation, or profession—as in divinity, law, physic, literature, arts, or science. Each contributes 301. annually towards the State, according to the proposed income tax. All goes on smoothly, while sickness or death avoids visi- tation of either party. But let sickness overcome A, B., and his income goes in regularly for the support of himself and family, the same as if he were in health; nay, he can draw in a portion of his capital, or borrow upon it, to irset a tempo- rary exigency. But if the same calamity (sick- ness) overtakes C. D., his income is at onre sus- pended till recovery takes place, and perhaps eventually injured or ruined by the temporary suspension. He cannot borrow money on per- sonal, as the other can on property security, and himself and famiiy are subjected to great privations. But let the case become worse. Let A. B. die; and his capital of 30,0001., for which he pays 30/. per annum "income tax," is all preserved for his wife and family. When C. D. dies, who pays a similar income tax, his wife and family are left without a shilling. Nothing can be more unjust than this amalgamation of income from real pro- perty with income from personal industry Little dividend, if any, (says the Brighton Gazette,) is expected from the bankrupt estate of the Wigneys. THE WHISKEY TRADE.—The distillers of Cork have raised the price of whiskey to 7s. 3d. per •rallon, 25 per cent. over proof. The distillers of Limerick have raised the price of whiskey Is. 3d. per gallon. SEDITIOUS LANGUAGE.— Mr. O'Conner, found guilty at the Queen's County Assizes of denounc- ing landlords, high rents, &c., is sentenced to six months imprisonment, and to give security, himself in 5001. and two sureties in IOOl. each,to-hold his tongue. MURDER IN IRELAND.—At the Armagh Assizes, on Friday week, Francis Hughes was tried for the third time on an indictment for the murder of Mr. Powell, at Newtown-hamilton, on the 2d of January. One of the daughters of the deceased, Letitia Powell, proved that the prisoner was one of the party that dragged her father from the par- lour before he was murdered outside the house, and that be had aimed a pistol at her father, which she had pushed aside with her hand. A woman, named Isabella Stanton, who resides near the scene ot the murder, identified the prisoner as one of the party who passed by some time after it had been perpetrated. The prisoner was found guilty, and the learned judge ordered him to be executed on the 20th of April next.—Prisoner (holding up both his hands): By the great God who is above me, I know neither act nor part in the murder of Mr. Powell—no more than the child that is unborn!" The shouts of the mob, who completely filled the hall of the court-house, became HT this m«men; absolutely frightful. Cries of Murder" issued from every part of the house, n which the prisoner joined, and. despite (.f the utmost exertions of the police, the alarming scene continued for a considerable time. It was even apprehended that a rescue would be attempted. With considerable effort, however, after the pri- soner was removed, quiet was restored.
