Unprincipled SHOPKEEPERS for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious COMPOUNDS under the same names (some under the implied sanc- g g tion of Royalty) they copy the labels, bills and advertisc-M ments of the original preparations, and substitute clther a FICTITIOUS name or the word GENUINE" in the!g place of "ROWLAND'S." It is therefore highly i necessary to see that the word ROWLAND'S" is oil the W rapper of each Article. the Wr,,iPPer of each Article. ?'

HENRY BARTON, of the Grange Farm, 1 Rock Ferry, Cheshire. EI!S To Mr. F. Clipiss Diss, SIR,-I considered it my duty to inform you for the benefit of Graziers and Agriculturists generally, that have administered your Constitution Balls with the most B Deneficial effect, in the epidemic that is so very prevalent and ftal amongst Cattle in this and the adjoining Countle.s, and for which there appeared no remedy, in several instances cattle have been slaughtered to prevent the disease extending itself. After losing three of our best Cows, I determined to make trial of your Balls, and perceiving the complaint had attacked a young Bull, 18 Months old, I took from him 4 quarts of blood, then administered a large dose of your Constitution Balls, in i about two hours I gave him 2lbs. of treacle diluted with f ivarm water, and in two hours more I ilb. of yeast, with nich treatment he soon recovered. This animal is SInce purchased by a Gentleman who will take him to the Cape laf Good" Hope, with a quantity of your Balls, Ing fully persuaded with myself, that no Grazier or orsekeeper ought ever to be without them. I have had 00-caion to pursue the same treatment with three B other Beasts and ir. every instance with the most com- H dpwiete success. ou have my full permission to give publicity to the bove, feeling satisfied that by making it generally known, you will confer a very great benefit upon the I remain, yours very truly, April 24th, 1841.

Hi MI THE BRITISH HONG-KONG TEA COMPANY, foathf"i to their professed principle of supplying the publ'c with none but genuine Teas of superior character, have con+fm! lve  the liberal patro?ge they have hitherto received. It would be easy to pretend, a, some S, HA. *°' f, aS' at lower prices than charged by the Company, but the very fact that the duty alon amounts to 9 ?f per lb. must convince all thinking persons, that much which is offered to the public under th name of Te a'aU t "° t'10,11 a spurious article, andit would be easy to prove that such trash is as inj uries to hmlth > as the ,,enuine leaf i.s wholesome and exhÚaIcting. The Company would particularly recommend the BLACK. I Strong and rich flavored wiry leaf Congou at 5s. per lb. being all that for ordinary occasions can be desired. Their Imperial Pekin Mixture at 6s. per lb. is a combination of the rarest and most exquisite Black leas exported from China, and is peculiarly adapted to the taste of Connoisseurs. The following can be confidently recommended- Genuine Breakfast Congou 4s. Od. Strong full-flavoured ditto 4s. 6d. GREEN. Bright leaf, Hyson kind, fresh and strong 5s. Od. Fine Hyson, with choice flavour 6s. Od. Pearl leaf Gunpowder 7s. 6d. MIXED. Hong-Kong mixturc.) 5s. 4d. By those who prefer mixed Teas, the Companyfeel con jident that this will bepronounced unequalled, for strenqth and flavour, by any combination of Black and Green Teas that has yet been offered to the public at the price. The Company's Teas are sold in Catty Packages, in the pure state in which they are imported, in quarters, halves, 1. one pounds. Each package is sealed with the Company's Seal, and bears the signature of J. CASSELL, tbeii London manager, without which none arc genuine Teas at -5s. per lb., and above, may be had in two ounce packets' lLo?do??ES.-Iii consequence of the numerous applications wM'ch the Company have received from their An-ent? requesUng to be supplied with Coffee of superior quality, they have made arrangements, to supply the following dcsenptlOns, which will be found of singularly exquisite flavour, and will be packed in lead, in quarter, half-pouil and pound packets, and sealed to prevent the possibility of the aroma escaping Choice Mountain Jamaica Is.

SIR JAMES MURRAY'S FLUID MAGNESIA, prepared under the immediate care. of the inventor and established for upwards" ,of thirty years by the pro- fession, for removing bile, acidities, and indigestion, restoring appetite, preserving a moderate state of the bowels, and dissolving uric acid in gravel and gout; also! as an easy remedy for sea sickness, and for the febrile affections incident to childhood, it is invalitable.-On the value of magnesia as a redemical agent it is unnecessary to enlarge; but the fluid preparation of Sir James Mur- ray is now the most valued by the profession, as it en- tirely avoids the possibility of those dangerous concre- tions usually resulting from the use of the article in powder, and in the over-dosed liquids of detected imi- tators. Sold by the sole consignee, Mr. Bailey, of North-street, Wolverhampton, and by all wholesale and retail drug- I gists and medicine agents throughout the British em- pire; in bottles, Is., 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., 5s. 6d., I Is., and ils. each. \The Acidulated Syrup in bottles,-2s. each.

9 EXTRAORDINARY EVENT.—A most extraordinary circumstance has just occurred at the Hawick toll-bar, B which is kept by two old women. It appears they had a sum of money in the house, and from some cause or other were extremely alarmed lest they should be robbed of it. Their fears prevailed to such an extent, that when a carrier whom they knew was passing by, they j | urgently requested him to remain with them all night, which, however, his duties would not permit him to do B but in consideration of the alarm of the women, he con- H sented to leave with them a large mastiff dog. WhenM the carrier started the dog became violent, and would not stop, upon which one of the women ran after the man, who returned and left his coat for the dog to g ■ watch, after which the animal remained quietly at th0 | toll-house. In the night the women were disturbed by the uneasiness of the dog, and heard a noise apparently like an attempt to force an entrance into the premises, upon which they escaped by the back door, and ran to ga Ba neighbouring house, which happened to be a black- gMintI s shop. They knocked at the door, and were g answered from within by the smith's wife. She said her husband was absent, but that she was wiUing to accompany the terrified women to their home. This B N?as agreed to, and on their reaching the house theyg heard a a\age but half-stifled growling from the dog.g BOn entering the house they saw the body of a man g Bhangmg half m and half out of their little window, S Bwhom the dog had seized by the throat, and was still f Bworrymg. On examination the man proved to be their BS B neighbour the blacksmith, dreadfully torn about the g throat, and quite dead.-Carlisle Patriot. 0 ■ TIlE COLIn OF CHANCERY AT IFAULT.-A number of attachments from the Court of Chancery being issued against defaulting tenants on the Derry Castle property H in this county, the Master (Goold) directed that only a few should be put in force, in the hope that the tenantry B would settle amicably, and the receiver (Mr. David I Daiv) kiiiuij promIsed, in a printed notice, that if they paid their rents due from Mav, 1812, to last May, he would submit the question of arrears due prior to May, 1$42, to the consideration of the Court, in order to their being foigiven or abated. Mr. Daly accordingly attended at his office at Dallina on the 17th and 18th ult., and having sent out his bailiff to serve the notices upon some of the tenantry, he succeeded in doing so. About 12 o clock on Wednesday, on sending out a second time to serve more notices, he was informed that the people were assembling in large numbers, about g 200, shouting defiance, and all armed, under the au- i thority and command of Captain Terry Starlight. The recei ver sent to Constable 0 Neil), of the Ballina station, and apprised him of the circumstance, who had onlyS three policemen under his command, two of whom were out the previous night on patrol, but who gallantry vo- lunteered to proceed again on duty. Having armed, they went out to reconnoitre the enemy, who, upon g their approach, shouted defiance, and dared them to g j advance. The constable admonished the ringleaders, j | but was compelled from want of sufficient force to retire to the barracks, the belligerents keeping up a discord- g ant yell, which echoed from hill to hill, and from town-a land to townland. Hedge-firing was kept up the entire day, and at night these misguided men, who, we under- stand, were hired for this special purpose, retired to their billets amongst the farmers. The recei ver was S obliged on the next day to pack up his notices and pa-g pers and proceed to Dublin, where he will make the Chancellor acquainted with the state of Tipperary, and that Captain Terry Starlight is at present the rulingH power in its North Riding.—Nenagh Guardian. ■ I WORRYING A WITNESS.—A barrister tormented a ■ witness so much with questions that he declared he ■ was so much exhausted that he must have a drink of water before he could say anything more. Upon this the jndge said to the teasing lawyer, I think, sir, you have done with that witness now, for you have ■ pumped hi III dry." B B STATE OF EDUCATION IN MIDDLESEX.—At a recent inquest, Mr. Wakley stated that not one-half of the jurors who attended inquests in the western # district of Middlesex could write and that a short time since he held an inquest at which ten jurors out of the twelve could not sign their names. B | THE SALVATION 0:' THE COUNTRY.-Tlic skittle-B playing came off with immense success. Sir Josephs I knocked the pins about quite skilfully. Master Bowleyij took an innings at a shorter distance also; and cvery- body snid that now when a baronet and his son played at skittles the country was coming round again as fast as it could come.—Ih'cficns. B CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.—The gaiety that reigns | supreme at this festive season, when friends and lovers H assemble at the social board, or whirl in the giddyfi ■ mazes of the dance, induces both sexes to be more than I usually desirous of shining in personal attraction, and to devote a greater share of attenton to the toilet.

I A PARALLEL TO THE PRINCIPALITY.…
I A PARALLEL TO THE PRINCIPALITY. I I Upon reading a report of the election proceedings at Dartmouth, we thought we saw in our English burgesses H a striking resemblance to the way in which we our- H selves in Wales are disposed to regard Parliamentary Representation. Whether or not, however, there is any resemblance between the Dartmouth constituency and B those of Wales, the following article from the Times of last Monday, can hardly fail to repay perusal. B The rival pretensions of the respective candidates for Dartmouth at the election which is just now over were B of rather an amusing character. Politics were put coin- S paratively in the background: One is Whig indeed, and the other conservative that is a sine qua non of all elections. But the larger political ground so com- j pletely gives way to the dominant claims of Dartmouth in particular, that they were referred to more as a matter of form and the interests of the locality of I Dartmouth stand forward in bold relief, and honestly proclaim their own great superiority, to the inhabitants | of that locality, over the indefinite claims of the illiiiii- table political world. | Dartmouth stands forward propriu persona and says, —What can you do for me, gentlemen ? As you arc g ambitious of representing me, you must tell me first what good you can do me. Don't talk to me about g Whig principles, and Conservative principles. I wantB something more concrete, mon. the purpose. You B are not going to represent the orbis <?'a?'M?, but Dart- mouth. And let me tell you, Dartmouth is an impor- g tant place, and has a right to look after itself, and to be g watchful on the subject of number one. JE "The two candidates, Mr. Somes and Mr. Moffatt, answered to the appeal. They put forward theii respective services, intended and contemplated, to the town of Dartmouth. They divided sea and land between them. "I am a wealthy shipowner," says Mr. Somes; my flag is seen flying in every sea" (we quote his pro-, poser, Mr. Codner's, words), in every clime and harbour. I stand before you as the largest shipowner of the world. I give employment to hundreds, who would otherwise be feeling all the horrors of destitution and want. As the most extensive shipowner, I fully appreciate all the advantages which this harbour affords tor restoring the town to a state of commercial impor tance." "Vote, vote," says the eloquent proposer- for my highly-valued and most respectable friend, Mr' Joseph Somes, of the city of London, merchant an. shipowner." Vote," says the eloquent seconder, "fod Mr. Somes, the seaman's friend, the enterprising merr chant, the active promoter of the prosperity of our ships- colonies, and commerce, and the anxious advocate for, the interests of Dartmouth." "Mr. Moffatt saw it was of no use opposing"" Mr. Somes on his own element, so he takes his stand on the land. "I will bring you a railway," says Mr. Moffatt, very near, if not quite close to your town. Think of that. Won't that be a treat and an accom- modation to you ?" Dartmouth had to deliberate and* choose which it would like to have best, while her wooers, with bland insinuating manner, proffered their respective bargains, like salesmen at a fair. A harbour,' said Mr. Somes look at my liarbour.' 'A railway,' said Mr. Moffat; let me call your attention to my railway.' Dartmouth stood like Paris in the classical fable, with the three goddesses each with their blandishments, and looks first to one side and then to the other. The attack by land and by sea goes on vigorously. Army and navy show a generous emulation in their efforts. Mr. Some's admiralship, Moffatt's generalship, make their impres- sion. After a hard fought contest the Admiral has the day. 0 We admire the primitive ground which the Dart- mouth electors seem to take in their electioneering. The natale solum has evidently great charms for them. They do not think themselves bound as electors to abandon themselves to the wide sea of abstract politics. Dartmouth claims their patriotism first; they are es- ponsell to Dartmouth, as Queen Elizabeth said she was married to her country. We heartily wish they may obtain their harbour and their railway both. "It is observed generally, that the difference between Whig and Conservathe has been lessening for some time past. The Ministry of Sir R. Peel has done al good deal to do away with the old territorial boundary! between the two. If the process of levling goes on,j we shall soon have the Dartmouth principle of clcctions| spreading. In lack of broad marks in the political world at large, the manufacturing and sea-port towns of the kingdom will be pledging their representatives to local standards of utility,—glass-blowing, buttonmaking china manufacture, cutlery, or whatever it might be. The representatives of the button interests, cloth or metal, of china, Edgware of Worcester fashion, and stockings plain or ribbed, will meet in Parliament and advocate their respective sides. We are anticipating the movement of some years perhaps, but the practical features in the national character have a preponderating force about them, and when they fairly set to work, they seem likely to clear the field for themselves. It remains to see whether new parties will not rise up in the place of old ones, and continue the political war of principle, which has been so subsiding for the last years. They may or may not. We do not pro- phecy, but take tendencies as we find them. Hidden moral and political worlds may come to light, and supersede the great questions of the Dartmouth harbour or railway, and put into the background Birmingham button-making and Kidderminster carpeting. But local features, meantime, are assuming a simple and primitive importance in our elections." E

REMARKABLE OPERATION FOR THE CURE OF t CONSUMPTION.—A remarkable operation has just been performed by Dr. Hastings and Mr. Robt. Storks, for the cure of consumption, by the perforation of the I cavity of the lung through the walls of the chest. It consists in making an opening between the ribs into the cavity which forms in the lung during the latter ) stages of consumption. The immediate effects of the g operation (which requires only a few seconds for its g performance,. and which causes but slight pain) in the g I case in question, was the diminution of the frequency of the patient's pulse, which fell in 24 hours from 120 to 68; freedom of respiration, which had been a very distressing symptom loss.of cough and expectoration, both of which had been very severe. This operation, whieh has established the possibility of curing this hitherto fatal disease, appears to have been completely successful the report of the condition of the patient a month after its performance being, that he was rapidlyg I regaining his flesh and strength, whilst his respiration had become natural, his purse had fallen to SO, and his g cough and expectoration had wholly ceased. g STATISTICS OF DRUNKENNESS.—A very curious document has been lately di-a iv n up on the origin, causes, jj results, metaphysics, philosophy, and physiology of g drunkenness. One of the most curious characters is that which contains a table of the various circumstances to which inebriety may be attributed. The report divides intoxication into several heads, including the muzzy, B which is a sort of minor branch. Among the muzzy six cases out of ten may be traced to spasms, and that i one-nineteenth arises from birthdays that among j j confidential clerks inebriety is rare, but when it occurs pickled salmon, or the arrival of a friend from the country, are found to be the most usual causes of the malady. Drunkenness has also been known to arise, in some instances, from taking up a bill but as the latter is an operation which persons given to intoxica- E tion seldom perform, the number of cases to be attribnteuee to this source is very insignificant, A wife's birthdays has often been known to lead to a total prostration of the husband but it is a remarkable fact, that the day is frequently mistaken in these instances and, such is the power of imagination, that a man has been known to B drop down into the gutter eight or nine times in a year, through having fancied that the birthday of his wif( occurred repeatedly in the course of a twelvemonth.—P Punch. n FOREIGN.—The King of the French opened the Chambers on Thursday, in person. His speech alludes to the auspicious termination of the Morocco war, andE to the happy feelings of amity and respect which aH mutually entertained between himself and the Queen of Great Britain and he felicitates himself upon the cordial reception which he experienced from the people of England on his late visit. He trusts these reciprocal sentiments will contribute to the maintenance of general peace, that great blessing of humanity. He reprcscnts B the finances of the country to be flourishing. He g expresses his pleasure at the marriage of the Duc d'Aumale to a Princess of Naples, and declares his de-K votion and that of his sons to the interests of France. p Accounts from Madrid are of the 18th instant. The licenser of General Prim has been rewarded with a lucrative situation in the colonies, and now the accusers a of Colonel Henif() arc promoted from the rank of nou- | commissioned to that of commissioned officers. Kim' 1 sereants of the di'Terent regiments in garrison at Ma- | li?t?e boe,,i made lieutenants. It is frightful to scc | nerons entrusted with the Government of a nation re- jsj ?ort to such p:netl< es. Xothiug is yet known of Z?r- g ibauo.

I IRELAND. I
I IRELAND. I TIPPERARY.—We have received the following letter from a valued correspondent Borrisokane, Dec. 26. ? have just a moment before the post goes out to inform you that a frightful attempt at murder has been made in this part of unhappy Tipperary, at an early hour yes- terday evening. This occurrence took place in the parish of Terryglass, within pistol-shot of the village of Carrigahovig, and five miles of Borrisokane. The cir- cumstances are as follows:—A Mrs. Going (a widow) was some time ago ejected from a small farm which she held at or near Carrigahovig. A respectable farmer named Cleary got into possession of it. He was served with threatening notices, but did not mind them. On yesterday evening, when going to his own house, and quite hard by it, a gun, charged with a vast quantity of heavy shot, was fired at him. At the moment the deadly weapon was discharged, Cleary had his hands in his breeches pockets, and in his left hand, the one next the assassin, he held a bunch of keys, with some pence and halfpence, which he had just got from a neighbour. The shot struck his left hand, carried off three of his fingers, smashed the ring of the keys, battered the money, and tore away his pockets and linen. The abdomen is untouched, but his left thigh is much lacerated. Hopes are entertained of his recovery, and never was there so narrow, so providential an escape. Whatever may be the cause of these outrages, and whatever the remedies it may be in contemplation to apply, one thing is cer- tain, that this damnable system of wholesale murder should be put down at once." We quite agree with our correspondent as to the necessity of doing something in order to put a stop to such foul and barbarous attacks on human life. But we do not believe that anything effectual can be done until the people in the disturbed! I districts become better educated, and have a better stan- dard of morality among them. It is impossible to think that murderous attacks take place in the open day without the knowledge of the peasantry; yet in every case the murderer is permitted to walk off unquestioned, nay, protection is afforded him, and he is concealed from detection. This was the case with the murderers of Heffernan in the County of Clare. He was shot dead in his own house in the open day. His house was in a village, his murderers walked full armed through it, before and Tifter the fatal act, and yet not a hand was raised to arrest them. This connivance at murder, and at the escape of murderers, is the worst feature that distinguishes the fearful system of what is called wild justice;" which in 99 cases out of 100 is wild injustice." -Dublin Monitor. THE RUMOURED MURDER OF MR. CARDEN.-The Leinster Exp?-css says-" In the report in question it was stated that Mr. Carden, of Barnane, had been mur- dered; such was not, however, the fact; but an attempt had been made upon the life of Sir Henry Carden, of the Priory, and which no doubt gave rise to the rumour, under the following circumstances:—Sir Henry was passing through the street of Templemore, when he was assailed and knocked down by a blow of a stone while down he was struck on the head by another ruffian, also with a stone; and, but fcr the exclamation of some B children who were playing near the spot that I a man was murdering,' there can be little doubt but Sir Henry would have been added to the list of persons whose lives have been sacrificed to the blood-thirsty spirit of the peasantry of Tipperary." KING'S COUNTY.—MURDER OF THE SiiErrARDs.— Some arrests have been made for this barbarous murder, and the parties committed to Parsonstown bridewell and Tullamore gaol for further investigation but they were afterwards discharged, as no evidence could be produced against them, nor would they admit that they knew anything of the horrid tragedy. The authorities are making every exertion in their power; but, so well is the fell secret system" concocted and managed, that at present almost all hopes of detection of the offenders are vain, however great the rewards. QUEEN'S COUNTY.—BARBAROUS MURDER.—About 4 o'clock on the 20th inst. a boy who happened to be cutting switches in the plantation at Levally, near Bathdowney, discovered the body of a man who had been brutally murdered. There were five cuts on the head, and on the right side was the appearance of two stabs inflicted by a bayonet or some sharp instrument. The murdered man, upon examination, was found to be John Dillon, of Rathdowney and it was the opinion B of medical gentlemen who attended that he must have S been five or six hours dead when discovered. John Dillon was upwards of 70 years of age, and a respect- S able man. It seems he had a rent-charge on some land held by nephews of his, also named Dillon, which being allowed to run in arrear, he had them served with an ejectment process, that was to be tried at AbbeyleixH Quarter Sessions on the 28 inst. In conseq uence of an B arrangement proposed by his nephews, James and Robert Dillon, for the settlement of the differences between them, the old man left Rathdowney for Levally at about half-past 11 o'clock and the next account we have of him is that of finding his body as already men- tioned. It is supposed that the nephews planned the murder, and that in order to facilitate their diabolical intentions, they beguiled their unsuspecting victim to the fatal spot where the brutal tragedy was enacted. On Saturday an inquest was held on view of the body at Bathdowney, by Mr. Thomas Budds, one of the coroners # for the Queen's County and Mr. T. Canon, resident magistrate, Mr. R. Fitzgerald, Mr. T. Mosse, and Mr. Steele, magistrates. After the examination of several witnesses, and two medical gentlemen, Dr. Harte and B Dr. Delaney, a verdict of Wilful murder" was returned against some person or persons unknown; and that B James and Rcbert Dillon were aiding and conspiring in the same. Robert Dillon was arrested on the evening fl of the murder there were recent marks of blood on his H trousers. In accounting for himself, he equivocated very much, and his statement could not be sustained by facts. James Dillon has absconded. The Government has offered, through the hands of Mr. T. Cannon, resi- B dent magistrate, Maryborough, a reward of JE80 for the H discovery of the murderer.—Leinster Express. n

STAfr OFFICE REDUCTIONS.—A circular has been g issued from the Stamp Office to the district distributors and sub-distributors directng a reduction in the charges for all blank forms for documents to which stamps are H attached, to take place from and after the 5tli January H 18-15. These reductions will be a source of great H saving to professional and commercial men. For parch- ment, such skins as are now charged at 8d. will hence- H forth be Cd. those at Is. Sd., Is. those at 2s., Is. 6d. those at 4s., 3s. 2d. and the others in proportion. For paper, folio post is reduced from 2s. to Is. 6d.; and Is. according to quality; demy paper from 2d. to H t per sheet and bonds, bills of lading, marriage H licenses, transfers, and protests, from lid. to d. and H f.d. per sheet. tg "t BARON GURNEY.—We should say, that, notwith- |B| standing his years, he is the smartest judge upon the bench. He takes his notes, for instance, in short-hand, j with remarkable accuracy, and has the answers of the | witnesses penned with a celerity equal to that for which | his brother, the Parliamentary reporter, has so long been celebrated. Then his charges to the juries are the shortest on record, with the exception of those of the late Chief Baron O'Grady, in Ireland, who was pro- H verbial for delivering charges consisting of a single sen- H tence each and a felicitous power of condensation it was to put all his thoughts within the compass of a dozen words. Other judges think it necessary, in mur- H der cases more especially, to read over the whole of the evidence, from the first to the last, as if juries had £ § not been sitting for eight or ten hours, and never heard B a word of it before but Baron Gurney knows the value H of time, and never fritters it away after such an anti- quated fits't.ion. Ile tells them if they believe the pri- B soner guilty upon the evidence to find him guilty, and if they think him innocent to pronounce aceordingly; and surely nothing can be simpler than this mode of B lightening the labours of juries as well as judges. In passing sentence, too, the Baron is equally brief. Some B judges have expended whole half-columns in pointing out the criminality of the offence, and in warning others against following the dangerous example of the con- victed party but Baron Gurney makes short work of all this, and while he abates the curiosity of the public, he at the same time relieves the prisoner from all anxiety B as to his impending fate by at once pronouncing theB sentence. More than once during the past week he pronounced sentence of transportation for fifteen years, B and this he did in little more than these words, 11 Pri- soner, the sentence of the court is that you be trans- 8 ported for fifteen years. Go on with the next case." 1 One trial is thus terminated and another is brought on 1 while some of his brethren on the bench would be ad- justing their spectacles on their judicial noses. It is much pleasanter to have to deal with such a man than S with some of their sleepy, prosy lordships, who iienei seem to think that time is on the wing. — Liverpool i SINGULAR LEGACY".—The Publicateur (7, Arll's states j that an old lady, who died lately near that place, and j who had always expressed a dread of being interred ? Itlive, had left by will a legacy of 600 francs to the ? ■{person who s hould, immediately on her death being de ?clared, begin to tickle her feet, and continue to do so S ?fur the forty-eight hours which elapse between death andgj bnrial, in order that no doubt could be entertained of^ |her being ically dead. The maid-servant, who had been happrisc-d of this legacy whilst her mistress was still? giving, began to tickle her feet the moment her d(?th? gwiis declared blt, after eighteen hours of almost In-? ^ccssant application, was obliged to relinquish the task^ pliom exhaustion, and was followed by anoth? r person, § sthc two agreeing to share the legacy.

I AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS.—THE DUKE CF g NORFOLK. a [From the Bury Post.] I The following address of his Grace the Duke of |Bj Norfolk, at the late Arundel Christmas show of fat stock, is so appropriate in time and so admirable in spirit, that we feel we cannot do better than quote it in this place: — I Gentlemen.—In wishing you 'Good night,' I wish you all happiness and enjoyment in the festivities of tIe approaching Christmas and let us not forget the com- forts of those to whom we are so much indebted. We | drank the health of the labourers, and we wished them success. Let not our wishes be confined to this room (hear, hear). We may not be able to do as much good as we desire but to-morrow morning, when we turn out, let us look at the cottages about us, and see how we can repair them and make them comfortable at little expense; and let us consider—some of our means arc better than others, but the poorest of us may still be of some service to them—let us make their cold cottages warmer than they are and, in mending their cottages, don't let us forget that Christmas-day is at hand, and that we may contribute something not only to warm their outsides, bu.t warm theii insides. (Cheers.) Let us look to their windows and doors, and see if they keep not this- despelate cold wind that is blowing and even if we do no tnore we shall add to their eunforts. We heard a great deal about landlords and tenants; and if your farms are out of order-and I an: sorry to say that many of those under me are so—I shll make it my earnest endeavour to put them in as good order as I can, and as quickly as I can. Now, you whe com- plain to me that your farms are out of order, put your- selves in my place. The poor man asks you to do the same for him put his cottage in order, and as quickly as you can, and he will bless you, and we shall be united, together; and the more we are united the stronger we shall be, and the more able to meet our difficulties." g (Cheers.)
I PALLIATION OF MURDER.
I PALLIATION OF MURDER. In the west of England, last spring, two women poisoned their father because, as they said, they could do better without him than with him. One of them afterwards strangled her aunt, in conformity with an opinion that old people should not live too long, and that they ought to be checked in their propensity that Way. The crimes were clearly proved in evidence, but great interest had been made in the neighbourhood for the prisoners, and the jury acquitted them. As theii- sit, a- tion was afterwards rather uncomfortable, a subscription. was raised to send them abroad, where they might live more happily. Their crime was, as it is phrased, luo making of them. Mary Gallop, like the parricide sisters, found her father in the way, and that she could do better without him. He was an obstacle to a match she wanted to make, and having heard a story of a woman who poisoned her husband, it struck her that she might conveniently and safely rid herself of her father by the same means. She made two attempts to accomplish her purpose, for she was not to be balked by a failure, and the second succeeded. The crime was clearly proved; the defence set up was, of course, insanity; the woman's mother had been insane when pregnant with her, and at some subse- quent periods but the Chester jury did not see any grounds for concluding that the prigoner was of un- sound mind, and found her guilty, but recommended her to niercy The Judge, Mr. Baron Gurney, treated the recommendation with as little respect as it deserved. At Taunton they acquit parricides; at Chester they recommend the parricide to mercy. A petition for pardon has been got up, which we have no hesitation in pronouncing the most monstrous exhi- bition of diseased sympathy that has ever disgraced one time. It bears the signature, amongst others, of the Bishop of Chester- "REASONS FOR PETITIONING THE QUEEN TO OBTAIN A COMMUTATION OF PUNISHMENT TO MARY GALLOP, NOW UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH IN CHESTER CASTLE. 1. That we have reason to believe that the ac- count of her past life and confession of her guilt to true, not confirmed in its leading points, by the evidence on her trial. 2. That it is highly probable that until the time when she committed the crime for which she was con- demned to death, her life had been irreproachable, and that she had conducted herself as a teacher in a Wesleyan, Methodist School tcifh strict propriety. 3. That the dreadful crime which she confesses of causing the death of her father, does not appear to have been long premeditated, but to have been accidentally suggested to her mind by a person in her company relating the circumstance of a wife having poisoned her husband by obtaining arsenic for the alleged purpose of" destroying rats and that she, namely, Mary Gailop, being at that time in great distress of mind disa,,)- pointed affection, and the determmatwn of her father not to sit??)- her to marry the young man to whom she had been long attached, suddenly resolved to overcome the obstacle to the ?ccoM??s?Mip?? of her wishes, by the dreadful crime of taking away the life of her father, and that she was not influenced to the great crime by any malignant hatred to her father, but as a means that occllred to ?ey mind of enabling her to marry the person to whom she had engaged herself. "4. That should the Queen's mercy be extended to this miserable woman, she might prove of great use in being employed ?t teaching young persons in one of the schools in any place to which she may be transported & that she ma,' have the means, by 'a life of peiii?Len?ial sorrow, to make a more effectual preparation to appear before her Maker, than the limited time now granted to her, if her execution take place at the time now fixed. 5. That the revolting spectacle of a young female being publicly executed might be avoided, and the inha- bitants of Chester spared so shocking and painful an exhibition. 6. That the jury who tried her case recommended her to mercy." This is nothing less than an apology for murder. The murder was purely an affair of the heart. The arsenic was only calltd in to smooth the course of true jiove. Parents have flinty hearts, no tears can move them, so poison is the compelled resource. The French talk of marriages of cjnvenience. Ac- cording to the Bishop of Chester, this a murder of con- venience. There was not an atom of hate in the arsenic. Mary Gallop wished her father no ill, but she wished him out of the way, and put him out of the way accordingly. And look at the circumstances treated bv the Bishop as extenuating. She heard a story of murder instead of feeling any horror at it, the idea of imitating it only strikes her mind. Then comes the calculation of safety, how the death by the means of poison forkilling rats would be attributed to the bowel complaint. The method of ac- complishing the crime is in keeping with all the rest the poison, bought in pennyworth after pennyworth, attempted to be administered in a cake, but that failing, no compunction, no relenting, but another expedient, with deadly success, adopted. The Bishop's petition states that the parricide sud- denly resolved to overcome the obstacle to her wishes but though the resolution may have been as sudden as the adoption of any evil purpose may be to a very depraved and evilly disposed mind upon the first pre- sentation of the idea of it, the means of °giving etiect to jit were far from precipitate, they were maikcd with method and perseverance. The plea that there was no malignant hatred to the father is one of the originalities of criminal sympathy. A highway man cuts the traveller's throat to obtain his purse there is in this no malignant hatred to the traveller he is killed as the obstacle to the possession of the purse. Altogether this is the most shocking and disgraceful document that has ever been publicly put forth in this country, and for its proper treatment the Bishop's .petition should be burnt by the hand of the common hangman. It may be very shocking that the people of Chester should have to witness punishments, but more shocking stiil would it be that the people of Chester should have the commission of the worst crimes encouraged amongs t them by the avoidance of due chastisements. AU unfit indulgence to crime is encouragement—all unfit mer. y to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. Upon the first discovery of a crime there is alway"s a natural burst of horror and indignation, and upon the first discovery of Mary Gallop's crime, what would have been thought of the proposal to make her a teacher in consideration of it ? The feeling in the first instance may exceed on the side of rigour, but it is juster cud more accordant with true humanity than that in the direction of vicious sympathy, which runs riot in the revision that so commonly follows upon the approach of punishment. The inconsistency between the defence of the parri- cide and the petition for pardon must not escape notice lin this case. In the defence insanity was .be picn, bus 'he prisoner represented as insane to the Jury is presently afterwards sane enough for the instruction of ?youth.
