Whittaker and Co., Ave Maria Lane, London. THE PATENT METALLIC CAPSULE, An Infallible Security against Fraudulent Substitutions for BETTS'S Patent Brandy. TO those who recollect the nauseous and unwhole- Tsome properties which distinguished the article known as British Brandy, previously to the year 1829, and the prediction that all attempts at competition with French Brandy could only result in an entire failure, the introduction of the Patent Brandy, at that period, was matter of much surprise ;-combining, as it was found to do, all the essential properties of the finer qualities of Brandy manufactured in France, with a degree of purity, and consequent wholesomeness, unknown in the latter. The existence of these valuable properties in BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, was distinctly certified, after analysis, by some of the first Chemists of the day. That evidence has been fully sustained by the extensive support of the most eminent Medical Men and, very especially, by its long-established use, under Medical direction, in pre- ference to French Brandy, in the principal Infirmaries, Hospitals, and other Public Institutions, throughout the country; among which it will suffice to name Guy's and the Westminster Hospitals, in the metropolis, and the Manchester and Bristol Infirmaries. An unprecedented extent of sale has, likewise, marked its progress in pub- lic estimation. That an article possessed of such merits, and sold at little more than half the price of French Brandy, should not have entirely superseded the use of the Foreign, is only to be attributed to the fact, that the Patentee has had to struggle, not only with the original-and, it must be admitted, well-founded—prejudice against Brandy produced in this country; but, also, against a constant succession of attempts to force into consumption inferior descriptions,—in many cases as substitutes for, and even under the name of, the Patent Brandy. The correction of this evil, which has long been mat- ter of extreme solicitude to the Patentee, is at length effected, by a METALLIC CAPSULE, or Covering for the Cork; th e exclusive manufacture of which is secured to him by Letters Patent. It is composed—NOT OF TIN- FOIL, an article much used, but-of perfectly pure and SOLID METAL stamped by the aid of powerful and costly machinery, into the exact size and shape adapted to the bottle; to which it is attached by simple, but most effective, means and its adhesion is so perfect, that it cannot be removed without being completely destroyed and, therefore, no Capsule can be used a second time. The Patentee, by the aid of this most efficient gua- rantee against the frauds from which he and his numerous connexions have so extensively suffered, will now be enabled to protect the interests of all concerned, whether as vendors or purchasers and if care be taken to ob- serve, that the Capsules attached to the glass bottles, have the words BuTTS's PATENT BRANDY, No. 7, SMITHFIELD BARS," embossed upon them, the genuine character of the contents may be relied upon ;—an assu- rance that must equally induce Dealers and Consumers to give that support to an article of such superior value, which the Patentee feels satisfied has only been withheld, in certain quarters, from the previously-existing difficulty in guarding against the fraudulent substitutions here described. The Patent Brandy may be obtained from most of the Wine and Spirit Merchants in England and Wales, at Eighteen Shillings per Gallon in bulk;—in glass bottles, secured by the Patent Capsule, at Twenty Shillings per Gallon; or, a single bottle, as sample, for Three Shillings and Sixpence. BETTS'S PATENT PALE and COLOURED BRANDY thus secured, may be obtained from the following Wine and Spirit Merchants:— Brecon, Mr. G. Evans; Carmarthen, Mr. Wai. Mor- gan Do. Messrs. Tardrew and Smith; Do. Mr. J. White; do. Mr. G. Phillips; Llandovery, Mr. James Morris; Llandilo, Mr. G. Tracey Do. Mrs. M. Evans.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. This work, an ELEVENTH edition of which is now presented to the public, 10,000 copies having been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly interesting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases which, for some unaccountable reason, have heen either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indifference, by the ordinary medical practitioner; and we feel no hesiatation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the hook will not be found useful, whe- ther such person hold the relation of a PARENT, a PRECEP- TOR, or a CLERGYMAN.—Sun evening paper. "The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitled Manhood' has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the efl'ccts is percetible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.' -Age. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled Manhood,' is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a sub- ject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time it is full)- intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invaluable. "-Age. This is a work that we fear there exists too much need for, to cause us to hesitate to recommend it for general perusal. Every branch of those frightful maladies, whether the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is here succinctly treated, and divested of all medical techn'cality and plain and easy directions are given for the best mode to be pur- sued in all cases, however complicated or apparently hope- less. 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 recommending it to general notice.—Essex and Hert Mercury. Messrs. CURTIS and Co. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, FRITH-STREET, SOHO-SQUARE, LONDON.

DAVIES'S Succedaneum, or Mineral Tooth-Paste, for Stopping Decayed Teeth. THIS valuable Paste remains for a short time in a soft state, so that it cannot give the least pain, and may be used by hny person with the greatest ease. It has the remarkable property of becoming hard and sound as the Tooth itself, excluding the air and food from the nerve, preventing further decay, and succeeding when other kinds of Stopping have completely failed. N. B. The Succedaneum should be applied as soon as decay makes its appearance, it being a great error to delay until the Tooth becomes painful. Timely attention may preserve decayed Teeth for years. It has been used with great success by several persons in the vicinity of Carmarthen, and elsewhere. PREPARED BY R. M. DAVIES, CHEMIST, &c.

I THE TAKING OF GWALIOR. I
I THE TAKING OF GWALIOR. We were enabled last week to give the despatches in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The particulars which have since come to hand have happily reduced very considerably the amount of mortality as then given, though it still appears to be fearfully large. The loss in killed was somewhat about 150, and the wounded about 860 while the loss on the part of the enemy is estimated at 3000 or 4000 in killed alone. There is also another correction in the first accounts-there was no storming or engagement at all at the fortress of Gwalior itself, but the result of the two victories which were achieved on the march against that place, was that it was surrendered without anyfurther fighting. A con- temporary gives the following summary. It appears that the English some time ago undertook with regard to Sindia, of which Gwalior is the capital, the same task as that which devolves upon them with respect to some other independent" states of India-namely, that of be- ing protectors and keepers of the peace against all distur- bers though it must be admitted that they are rather apt to execute this high office in the East, something after the fashion of London policemen in a crowd at home, when without any discrimination they break the head of every one within reach of their truncheons. The Mahrattas, who are by far the most warlike tribes of central India, had lately a Maharaj," which may be translated into Emperor, King, or Great Chief, as our readers choose,) who rejoiced in the not very euphoni- ous name of Jhunkejee Rao Sindia, and who was a very great potentate; but notwithstanding all his greatness, he was called upon to die, and to leave his Maharannee a disconsolate widow. The question of succession is always a ticklish thing among Asiatics but upon this occasion the Anglo-Indian government stepped in and prevented the bow-stringing and eye-gouging which usually takes place upon such interesting occasions, and declared that a little boy, Jyajee Rao Scinde, should reign in the stead of the late Maharaja and the Maha- rannee promised to adopt him and act the part of a faithful mother-in-law to the little prince. She is charged, however, with being no better than mothers- in-law generally are, and with having consorted with the turbulent Mahratta chieftains to usurp the authority of government, and to evince in a very plain manner her and their contempt for the puppet prince set up by the English. Consequently, the Governor-General as- semble.d a large army under the Commander-in-Chief Gen. Sir H. Gough, and marched into the disturbed country but taking care to send forward a proclama- tion declaring that "The British army has entered the territory of Scindia, not as an enemy, but as a friend to the Maha- raja, bound by treaty to protect his Highness's person, and to maintain his sovereign authority against all who are disobedient and disturbers of the peace." And adding that- The British government knows only as enemies those who oppose its armies and are disobedient to the Maharaja and disturbers of the peace, and will injure none but such as act hostilely." The proclamation further promised that- "A strong government having been established at Gwalior, capable of maintaining the Maharaja's authority over all, and willing as well as able to preserve tran- quillity on the common frontier, the British armies will return to their own territory." Sir Henry Gough's amounted to 14,000 men, includ- ing 300 cavalry, and 40 pieces of artillery; and it was at first supposed that the Mahratta chiefs would be intimidated and would gladly come to terms. Presuming upon this feeling, demands were made by the Governor- General of the most humiliating nature; and the native chieftains determined to make a fight of it. They accordingly came out against Sir Henry Gough with an army of 15,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, and 100 cannon. The opposing forces met on the 29th of December at Maharajpoor, and a desperate engagement took place. The Mahrattas were very strongly posted, and their large field of guns did severe execution in the beginning of the fight; but the intrepidity and skill of the British troops at length proved completely victorious, and the enemy, who fought with indescribable fury, was defeated in all directions. Many of our best officers were killed or wounded in single encounter with them. This severe engagement came on with so much promptness that Lady Gough and her daughter found themselves unexpectedly on the field of battle, and were for some time in considerable danger by the side of Sir Henry. The Governor-General Lord Ellenborough is also said in one account to have been present at the fight, and to have run some risk. On the same day, .the left wing of the army, under Major-General Grey, found itself, when near Penniar, opposed by a powerful Mahratta force, and another battle and another decisive victory were the result. The effect of all this was that Gwalior opened its gates without any further opposition; and the last accounts left the British army at rest within its walls. Unqualified submission had been offered, and lenient treatment was craved; a treaty acknowledging British supremacy was entered into, and the troops were to return within our own territories. The official account of casualties states that our loss was 144 killed, and 366 wounded; while the enemy is represented as having lost between 3000 and 4000 killed, and twice as many wounded, together with a great many guns, standards, and a large amount of ammunition. Nine British officers have fallen in action or died of their wounds; viz.General Churchill, Colonel Sanders, Major Crom- melin, Captains Stewart, Magrath, and Cobban, Lieu- tenants Newton and Leaths, and Ensign Bray. It is, of course, highly gratifying, if there must be fighting, to hear, that our brave soldiers still maintain their invin- cible character and that whether the climate be rigo- rous or sultry, their courage is neither chilled nor enervated but when thousands of human beings are sent into eternity to swell the catalogue of our military triumphs, we must hope that the quarrel on our part will be found to be a right one, and that justice as well as-policy required that we should interfere. THE INDIAN NEWS. I I [From the Atlas.] I The victories of Gwalior will be reckoned among the most brilliant exploits which the annals of Indian war- fare record. At this distance from the troubled scene of politics it is not easy to judge of the necessity for these bloody conflicts and successive aggressions, which after years of comparative repose, succeed each other with such startling rapidity in our Eastern empire. Affghanistan, Scinde, and now Gwalior, and next the Punjaub, pass before us in the panorama, leaving a dim, confused notion of the causes of these quarrels, or rather, only a vague, general impression that, by some fatality or principle," as Sir Robert Peel called it, we are destined to go on conquering and to conquer, until all India, with its countless millions, from the Himaleyah mountains to Cape Comorin, is at our feet. In the present instance it is almost impossible to understand, from the explanatory proclamations of Lord Ellenborough, the exact grounds of our interference with the government of Gwalior. If the neighbourhood of this military depotism were intolerable to our peace- ful subjects, we could admit that broad reason for en- forcing the peace but it is somewhat far-fetched to ground our operations upon an old treaty for the main- tenance of the authority of a prince, because his regent was obnoxious to us, when that very prince, and his whole army and people, not only declined the assistance of their soi-disant allies, but opposed them with their utmost force. It is, in fact, the history of all our Indian aggressions. We first enter into a treaty for the support of some particular family or dynasty, in the full certainty that, amidst the intrigues and revolutions which occur in oriental despotisms, we shall be called on to interfere, and then we claim the whole heritage for ourselves. These results are generally beneficial to the bulk of the people, and desirable on the score of humanity but we cannot understand the policy of con- quering a banditti, and immediately afterwards abandon- ing the country to their rule. These commotions appear to be the subsiding swell of the great agitation which filled the Mahometan mind prior to the Affghan invasion, when the intrigues of Russia had succeded in raising an universal impression that the English power was on the eve of meeting a rival, and that the empire of Aurungzebe might ence more be restored by a combined effort of the native princes. Our disasters in Cabool very nearly produced an explosion Scinde, Gwalior, Bundelcund, the Birman empire, and China, were all filled with the impression that a crisis was approaching, and that now an allied army was once more to issue from the north, like that of Mahomed of Ghuznee, or Nadir Schah, to inundate Hindostan. Our Indian empire was, in truth, in a crisis like that which occurred in the time of the Marquis of Welleslcy. These battles and ill blood are but the results of that feeling on the part of the population, and must, sooner or later, have happened under any ruler. No doubt Lord Ellenborough saw and understood the feeling that pervaded the native princes, and knowing that India had been won by the sword, he was not far wrong in supposing that the exhibition of personal bravery, from the highest to the lowest, from the Go- vernor-General down to the meanest Sepoy, was the best way to preserve our ascendancy.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL HALL.—A letter from St. Pe- tersburgh, dated February 20, states- We had a very melancholy circumstance on Sunday before last during divine service at the English Church. Admiral Hall, the much-esteemed friend of the Emperor, fell suddenly down in a fit, and expired, at the age of 60. He was formerly a Lieutenant in the British service, and was afterwards made an Admiral in the Russian navy. The Emperor, in honour of a faithful servant, will attend his funeral." PHILLIPS AND DAVIS BURNT TO DEATH:—' The Devonport Telegraph' in a second edition, published on Saturday, publishes the following distressing narrative :—About one o'clock this moaning, the police- man on the Mutton Cove beat observed a large volume of smoke issuing from the Theresa, collier, which was lying within the pier, with a full cargo on board. On approaching the vessel, he discovered that her cabins aft were in a blaze. An alarm of fire" was immedi- ately given, and the inhabitants of the neighbourhood were instantly on the spot, and the station-house being at no great distance, the parish engine was also promptly brought to the water side but the disappoint- ment might be better imagined than described when it was found that, in a place like this, it was not provided with a suction hose of sufficient length to reach the tide, which being low at the time, was a few feet off the quay. The parties present then filled the reservoir of the engine from the ship's casks, but here, too, they were doomed to further disappointment, as after this had been done, it was found that the engine was out of repair, and could not possibly be worked. Up to this period it was imagined that the vessel had been deserted by those left in charge, but in the turning out of the water, a low moan was heard as of some one in distress. Two men on the deck ran to the companion, where to their horror they discovered a lad amidst the flames endeavouring to escape by a ladder, the steps of which gave way on each successive attempt under his feet. The men endeavoured to get hold of his clothes, a portion of which were in flames, but the parts caught hold of, however, came off in their hands. After- several ineffectual attempts, they succeeded in catching the poor little fellow by the hands, which he held up towards them, in the greatest agony calling for his papa." This proved to be a young gentleman, the son of Mr. Phillips, of Newport, who being anxious to go to sea, had been sent by his parent this voyage as a passenger, to test his love for the line he had ex- pressed a wish to embark in. The unfortunate and suffering lad, who is about 15 years of age, was at once taken to the infirmary of the Workhouse, and we are sorry to say but little hopes are entertained of his recovery. The misfortunes attending this melancholy affair did not unfortunately end here, as it was subsequently discovered that a young man left in charge of the vessel, named John Davies, about 19 years of age, was burnt to death in his berth—the only remains being his charred bones. Had the parish engine been as it ought, in an efficient state, the fire would in all probability have been got under with comparatively little damage-As it was, however, the engines from the Dock- yard, the Ordinary, &c., were brought and soon filled the vessel with water, and almost miraculously saved her masts and rigging. A detachment of 76th regiment was present. Nothing is known as to the origin of the fire-the Captain and Mate had gone home to their families, leaving the vessel in charge of Davis, who, it appears, left the ship to the youth Phillips. He states that he went to bed about eight o'clock in the captain's cabin, and that Davis was not then returned-the mate had given permission to Davis to sleep in his cabin, and here his remains were found but anything further than this is mere conjecture. The vessel is so far destroyed that there is no chance of her being fit for repair and neither cargo nor ship is insured. Since writing the above, we find that the unfortunate lad Phillips expired about ten o'clock. It may be some consolation to his distressed parents to know that all possible attention was paid to him in his last moments, and though there was no hope from the first of saving his life, every means were adopted by the medical gentlemen to alleviate, as far as was within their power, the poor little fellow's sufferings. ALLEGED MURDER.—Last Friday, at the Central Criminal Court, in London, Sarah Dickenson, aged 36, a married woman, was indicted for the wilful murder of her son George John Dickenson, by cutting him in the neck or throat with a razor at Deptford. A second in- dictment charged her with the murder of her daughter Jane Eliza Dickenson. Mr. Doane appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. When placed in the dock, she presented a most wretched appearance, evidently labouring under intense agony of mind and body. Her state seemed to excite gene- ral commisseration. Witnesses proved the facts, and showed also that she had been invariably kind and affectionate to the children amidst the horrors and dis- tresses attendant upon the direst poverty. She had at- tempted to destroy herself. Evidence was then given to show that her conduct had at different times been very eccentric, that she had constantly complained of pains in her head, and that her own aunt had been shut up in an asylum. Mr. Justice Patteson summed up the evidence to the jury and told them that of late years the defence of insanity on particular points had fre- quently been set up, and on a recent occasion the public mind had been so much attracted to the subject that the House of Lords had thought fit to ask the opinion of the Judges upon the law. They had, however, not thought it their duty to recommend any alteration. The jury would address their minds seriously to the evidence which bore upon the alleged insanity, taking care not to attach too much weight to apparent acts of eccentricity, which might be rationally accounted for.- The jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity.—Mr. Justice Pat- teson ordered the prisoner to be kept in custody until her Majesty's pleasure should be known. JUSTICES' JUSTICE.—Our country magistracy take great credit to themselves for administrating justice without fee to the parties or charge to the public. One would, therefore, imagine that our courts of petty session are the cheapest in the country, and that they are open to all the robbed and wronged of our poor upon a principle very different from that upon which the London Tavern is open to all. The case of assault re- ported in our paper this week, under our Aylesbury Petty Session, with the comments thereon by a corres- pondent of the Times, will show how far from correct this notion would be. For a poor man to go to our country justices for the redress of a grievance seems so be as weighty, and, to him, as costly a matter as it would be for a tradesman to apply to the Ecclesiastical Courts or to the House of Lords for a divorce. We would by no means encourage the bringing public- house quarrels before the public courts of justice, but here is a case of assault, deemed too important for one magistrate to decide at his private residence, sent to the Aylesbury bench, successfully prosecuted there, and the poor man, in addition to the gross injuries suffered by himself and his wife, is made to pay E2 5s. 6d. for his public spirit in prosecuting the case, besides as much more in travelling expenses, to say nothing of loss of time Before the man Bass could get justice done him, or even his case listened to, he had to travel sixty miles, having been driven about from one justice to another and, when he has proved the case, the defend- ants are fined 10s. and himself £ 2 5s. 6. Some of our magistrates are fond of talking about constitutional principles." We had thought that it was part of the British constitution to bring justice home to every man's door and to every man's pocket. This system of de- manding exorbitant fees from the poor, for the purpose of increasing the emoluments of a clerk of the peace, already too well paid, is a practical denial of justice; its only effect must be to deprive the labourer of his share in the blessings of our constitution, to drive him to look for justice elsewhere, to take the law into his own hands," and thus reduce us to the wild and un- civilized condition of savages, where every man returns blow for blow, and injury for injury. The poor of this country are taxed highly enough. What benefit do they receive in return for the enormous sums in which they are yearly mulcted by the Excise officers and tax- gatherers ? Is the poor man to have no other share of the constitution but in that of paying for its support ? Need we wonder at the cry for universal suffrage when we see those who have none to represent them so con- tinually wronged ?—Aylesbury News. REPORTERS NOT SPIES.—The Liverpool Times, in an article upon the subject of the employment of news- paper reporters in the late Government prosecutions in Ireland, has the following remarks, which, in justice to a gentleman wfcose great services have not always been so handsomely acknowledged by a portion of the press, we have much pleasure in extracting All parties have joined in bearing witness to the skill, impartiality, and great public usefulness of the reporter of the London Times during the recent disturbances in South Wales. He went everywhere, reported every- thing, and discharged his duties with so much fairness, that nothing was concealed from him, so that the Go- vernment obtained infinitely more useful information from his letters than from the inquiries of its own Commissioners. We should like to know how much information he would have been able to obtain, if it had been even suspected that he had received a E50 note from Sir James Graham before leaving London, or that he was collecting evidence with the intention of going into the witness-box to prove the guilt of those with whom he was living on the most open and friendly terms? Can there be a doubt that, under such cir- cumstances, he would have been shunned as if he had got the plague ?-that every door would have been closed against him ? that all grievances would have been discussed in secret conclave, instead of under the eye of public ? (for the presence of one good reporter is, in, fact, the presence of the whole people) and that the Government. would have been kept in ignorance of nearly all that it ought to have known? This is so "evident, and yet so important, that no statesman worthy of the name would have overlooked it, or have attempted so procure information by means which are calculated ¡ to destroy all confidence in the honesty of the reporters ( of the press." RBPEAL OF THE WOOL DUTIBs.-In a letter from the Right Hon. W. Gladstone, to Mr. W. Beckett, the former says it is the Government that it is very desirable to repeal the duty on foreign wool, and that it is their wish to do so, as soon as the public interests, or the balance of public interests, will permit. He also adds a hope that the time when this may be done is not far distant. It will be remembered that, in the last session of Parliament, Sir Robert Peel admitted the policy of removing this tax upon the raw material of an impor- tant but depressed branch of national industry but he alleged financial difficulties-the impossibility in the then state of the revenue of foregoing any of the public resources—as a reason for opposing the repeal of this impost. The altered circumstances of the national exchequer, and the realization at length of a suiplus income, would seem to promise the opportunity, which alone Government has been waiting for, of conceding the boon sought for on behalf of the woollen manufac- tures.

THE ENCLOSURE OF COMMONs.-Lord Worsley has re-introduced his bill to make it easy for landowners to absor binto their estates all the common and wild lands of the country. If he succeed, we are about to lose, by quickening steps and for ever, one natural beauty and advantage in our country-land unenclosed and in a state of nature. The benefits of civilized arts are undoubted, but not unmixed. The improved and and extended agriculture which supplies almost our whole town population with wheaten bread in place of a coarser & less palatable staple food, is an unquestionably gain but the gain has not been unaccompanied by perhaps needless loss. With extended agriculture and increased domestic comfort, we have less sport, and diminished freedom. The enclosure of wild lands not merely restricts what is properly called the recreation" of the poor; it confines the wandering footstep, debars the human sight and heart from access to nature in her pristine shape. It is one of the strongest arguments in favour of fieldsports, that they lead the rich to a free communing with nature. No walled roads or garden- alleys can give that lusty sense of freedom and robust enjoyment which he feels who treads the boundless moor, who meets the full tide of wind unbroken, and sees the living creatures disporting untamed. The race of sportsmen are a kind of preserve for such healthy ideas among artificial society. So are the rustic race of those who live on commons, who have broad waste lands for their haunts, and take no heed of boundaries. Before we throw away this one source of a healthy vigour in the nation, should we not ask if it is necessary-if he could not have a substitute ? In South Australia, for instance, waste land is superbundant: South Australia sent us last year some of the best wheat in the London market, and could thus let us have land's worth, which would make up, through ages to come, for waving the absorption of our scarcer wild lands at home. But there are more practical," that is, immediate reasons. One argument in favour of a protecting corn law is, that its abrogation would throw poorer lands out of cultivaiion. Many use that argument in favour of" vested interests," who would scarcely recommend a new investment of the kind. Yet to such result Lord Worsley's bill tends. It proposes to bring under cultivation an indefinite additional amount of such land as needs protection to keep it in cultivation. Its object is to get us deeper into the mess of vested interest in'those poorer soils further complicating the question of the Corn Laws. No opponent of protection can consistently support the measures. No advocate of protection merely on account of interests already vested can conscientiously support it. None can support it except those who think it absolutely desirable to grow produce on land least adapted for it, by the help of a tax which raises the price of all other produce, and those who set at nought the free sports of the poor and the wish to preserve within the bounds of the four seas something like a country as Nature made it.-Spectatvr. REMOVAL OF CONVICTS.—Early on Saturday morn- ing a large number of convicts under sentence of transportation were removed from Millbank prison and placed on board the Blundell and the London, recently commissioned as transport ships, and now lying off the Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich.. The prisoners were con- veyed down the river in steams-boats belonging to the Watermen's Company, under guard of a detachment of the 58th Regiment, appointed' to proceed with them to their destination. The London (a fine vessel of 700 tons burden) takes out 250 of the lighter class of offenders, and is bound to Hobart-town. The Blundell carries 210 of the worst class, her destination being the penal settlement of Norfolk Island. It is currently reported that Government have it in contemplation ta abolish convict labour in the Royal dockyards, and for the future to employ none but free men in the necessary works. The average weekly cost to the country of a convict employed in the dockyards is nearly double that for which free labour might be obtained. It is not merely the actual cost of the convict's food and clothing that has to be given into consideration. They work in gangs of 20, under an overlooker, who receives high. wages, and it is of course necessary to keep a military guard constantly watching their movements. Add to this, that where only two men may be required to per- form any duty, the whole gang are compelled to share the labour, and it will at once be seen that if the economy of the question be considered, it must be greatly in favour of the employment of free labourers, to say nothing of the other advantages which would accrue from such a result. A cow, five years old, of the pure Hereford breed, the property of Mr. J. D. Strangward, Bodenham, on the 17th ult., dropped three heifer calves, which are all doing well. It is a singular fact that the cow has pro- duced six calves within the last two years. A STRANGE STORY.—The Rev. Frederick Day, in a letter to the Times, relates the following, which took place at Calton, Ashbourne, Derbyshire :—Ten days ago a person of gentlemanly appearance stopped at a small public-house here, being unable to proceed further on his intended journey, from illness. He was without any money, and unable or unwilling to give any satisfactory account of himself. He was visited by the clergymen of the parish, to whom he confessed that he had run away from home for a trivial offence, and he gave up the direction of his parent, in order that the clergyman might acquaint her with his sorrow and desire to return home. His sickness increasing, and the fear of death prevailing, he declared, after a few days, to a lady who visited him, that his former story was false, and the application of a blister to the chest disclosed the fact that the pretended boy was a young woman. She positively refuses to give any account of the cause of her disguise, declaring that she will never disgrace her family by the disclosure of their name.

HEUEFORDB AND SHORT-ITORNS.—A gentleman in Leicestershire, who keeps a large dairy of Short-horn cows, wishing to make a comparison between them and the Herefords, bought a Hereford cow at the Rev. J. R. Smvthies's sale in 1839. He soon found that the Here- ford gave less milk than any of his Short-horns, but as she was a fine-looking cow, and a good breeder, he con- tinued to use her in his dairy. In the spring of 1843 he determined upon making a more exact comparison as to the quantity and quality of the milk given by the re- spective breeds. For this purpose a Short-horn cow was selected of the same age, and which calved within two days of the same time as the Hereford. The milk of each was carefully measured; the Short-horn was found to give nine, and the Hereford six quarts at a meal. The milk was set up and churned separately; that from the Hereford produced nine pounds, and the Short-horn not quitejire pounds of butter per week. They stood in the same stall, were fed on the same description of food, and had been kept alike previous to calving. It has also been proved that two quarts of milk from a Hereford will produce as much as three from a Short-horn cow. The gentleman is now crossing his Short-horn cows with a Hereford bull, with a view of improving the quality of his milk.—Hereford Times. TIIE SIEGE or JELLALABAD.—Silver medals are at present being struck off at the Mint, for the purpose of being presented to those who were present at the siege of Jellalabad. There was an account in the newspapers, a short time back, about the longest rope in the world." We know of one worth two of that; for it has been ex- ceeded over and over again by the tremendous long yarn" on the state of Ireland, which the House of Commons was a whole fortnight spinning.-Punch. Bustles were originally invented by a travelling organ grinder, to accommodate her monkey with a place to ride.
