The Learned Judge then passed sentence upon him in the usual form.— After the sentence was passed, the prisoner shook his head at some per son, who sat on the left of the Judge, and then turned round and did the same to the Jury. During the trial, he frequently lifted up his hands in an affected manner, and shook his head as though he wished to intimate that the witnesses were swearing falsely. He is a ferocious ill-looking man. It is said that his wife was a most excellent woman, and that there was not the slightest grounds for suspecting her of infidelity. She is represented as having been very beautiful. POLICE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. PALMER.-The Lord Mayor stated on Wednesday, that he received a note from Mr. Fawcett, the stage-manager of Covent garden Theatre, almost immediately after the humane notice of the case of Mr. Palmer appeared in the public prints. His Lordship thought that the contents of the letter merited the highest commendation. By means of the contribution alluded to in it, and that which had been received from Drury-lane Theatre, together with some donations from a few charitable individuals who admired the father and pitied the son, it would be probable that the object of their charity would be enabled to get into some decent way of supporting himself and his wife. His Lordship added, that he observed from the items which were inclosed in Mr. Palmer's letter, that the first debt discharged by him was that to his landlady. GUILDHALL. Frederic Denman and Joseph Mould, two young men, have been several times examined here last week, under a charge of extorting money from Mr. Cozens, chemist, of Castle-street, Leicester fields. It appears that Mould met Mr Cozens some time back in the street, and told him that unless he would give him money, he would call the watchman and charge him with improper conduct. In his agitation, Mr. Cozens indirectly gave him 8 or 9s. After this, Mr. C. was dogged repeatedly by Mould, and he lately received a letter from Denman, a friend of Mould, demanding an interview, and asking 57. to compromise the atrocious charge Mr. Cozens employed Mr. Harmer to bring the culprits to justice, which he soon accomplished by getting them apprehended. They declined making any defence, and were fully committed on the charge of highway robbery and sending a threatening letter. ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, &c. Last week, the son of Mr. Townsend, of Stoke Newington, in endeavouring to get behind a fast-going coach, had his pin-cloth caught by the rapidly revolving wheel, which immediately drew him round with it, so as to shatter his head, &c. and kill him on the spot. EXECUTION -On Wednesday, sentence of death was carried into execution at the Old Bailey, on W. Lintot, aged 23; W Walker, only 19; and J. Ferguson, 23; all for house robberies. Lintot, although respectably connected and religiously educated, is known to have supported himself for some years past by dishonest practices. Walker has been an adept in crime; he was apprenticed to a pawnbroker: his brother was transported about a year back. Ferguson, a very fine young man, had previously borue an unimpeached character. Being under pecuniary embarrassments, and falling into bad company, he was led to commit the desperate act which has brought him to a premature end. His family and connexions are respectable. On ascending the scaffold, they bowed respectfully to the crowd, who seemed deeply affected by the youth and prepossessing appearance of the unhappy convicts. When the drop fell, Lintot struggled for a little time severely, but in the others, sensation seemed to be almost immediately extinct. Thursday morning, between one and two o'clock, the neighbourhood of Broadway, Hammersmith, facing the church, was thrown into considerable consternation and alarm, by the breaking ont of a fire at Middleton's shoe-warehouse, and the houses on either side of it caught fire; but the timely arrival of the engines prevented its spreading. Middleton's house and the back premises were literally brought to the ground. When the fire broke out, all the family were in bed and asleep. They had much difficulty to escape. All the property was destroyed. On Wednesday evening a tremendous explosion of gas occurred in a cellar in front of the house of Colin Mackenzie, Esq. of Portmore, Shandwick Place It appears that a gas meter had been recently placed in the cellar; and the distribution-pipe not being properly united, the gas had escaped in considerable quantity. A young lad, servant to Mr. Mackenzie, anxious to discover the cause of the disagreeable smell, and ignorant of the danger, entered the cellar with a lighted candle; when the gas instantly exploded, with a terrific report. The boy was killed on the spot, and the cook so severely injured, that she is not expected to recover. The butler of another family was struck speechless. The greater part of the windows in Mr Mackenzie's house, and also those in the two dwel lings to the westward, belonging to Lady Menzies and Mr. Montieth, were blown in; and several panes were shattered in the windows on the opposite side of the street. Almost every house on both sides of the street, as far as Stafford-street, has been more or less injured. The front of the cellar was blown out, the stone plates leading to the hall door dislodged, and several bars of the iron railing immediately above the centre of the from home. We need scarcely add, that the families in the neighbour explosion were snapt asunder. Mr. Mackenzie's family were happily hood were thrown into a state of great consternation.-Edinburgh Times. Wednesday afternoon, as J. Dunlop, Esq. son of Gen. Dunlop, M.P. was riding in Piccadilly, his horse took fright and galloped off at full and the animal, finding himself at liberty, increased his speed. Mr. speed. Mr. Dunlop endeavoured to stop his career, but the reins broke, Dunlop endeavoured to throw himself from the saddle, but his feet getting entangled in the stirrups, he was precipitated with such violence on the stones, that his skull was fractured. He was conveyed to St. George's Hospital, without hope of recovery.-Mr. Dunlop returned from the University on Sunday last. The horse was stopped at Hyde Park, where it came in contact with the iron railing, and was greatly injured. Wednesday morning, at half past three o'clock, a fire broke out in the melting-house of Mr. Ruff, tallow chandler, Upper Rathbone-place. It raged with great fury, and soon communicated to the dwelling house, which was totally consumed, and the houses of Mr. Hill, pawnbroker, and of Mrs Sunith, dress-maker, adjoining, were much damaged, before it was extinguished.` DEATHS.

THE CORN LAWS. A meeting has been appointed by the Lord Mayor, at the request of a number of the most respectable commercial houses in London, for the purpose of considering the expediency of petitioning Parliament for the revision of the Corn Laws. A requisition to the same effect has been sent to the Mayor of Liverpool. Leeds has already petitioned, and we have no doubt that meetings will be held in most of the manufacturing and trading places. METHODISM AND MADNESS.-Two more instances have just occurred of the deplorable effects arising from the doctrine of eternal punishment.Amelia Clay, a girl only 19, who was to have been married in a few days, poisoned herself on Tuesday evening. She lived as servant with Mrs. Oliver, in the New Kent Road, and possessed a fine flow of spirits till she We hope that the result of the meetings will be to induce joined some superstitious sect; since which, she neglected her business the Legislature to undertake the revision of these laws, which for "religious tract" reading, became exceedingly depressed, and de- in their present shape at least, are acknowledged by all pernounced all those, who did not abandon worldly thoughts and ways, as in the certain road to hell-fire!

The object itself seems to us a bad one. The direct result | certainly to raise rents and lower profits; to raise the comes of an idle class at the expense of the industrious isses, or, rather, of a class whose wealth is not the fruit of ertions, at the expense of those whose wealth is the fruit of erdons. But another evil accompanies the attempt to force prices, which also falls, sometimes with terrible severity, the landlords themselves-the great fluctuation of prices. be growth of corn in any one country in any one year is untain. In all the countries of the world the average produce mich more nearly the same. It is by supplying the wants he country from the superabundance of another, and by is alone, that a steadiness of price is kept up. When an tempt is made to grow corn enough for the whole population Ithe country, the supply will sometimes fall short, and etimes exceed greatly, the quantity wanted for the popution. In the latter case, the natural remedy is exportation. as under a free corn trade would be the case) the price in e country having the superabundance had never risen greatly bove the level of other countries, it would be possible, withat any great fall in price, to find relief by exportation; but the price be forced up, say to 80s. when the price of other antries is ordinarily 40s. there must be, in a plentiful year, all of 40 or 50s. before there is a chance of relief by exrtation-a fall which defeats all the calculations of the umer, and sweeps away his property, or leaves the landlord ithout rent. We have thus under the Corn Laws expeienced the most acute agricultural as well as manufacturing Mistress. We have had fluctuations in the price of wheat om 100s. to 37s. It is the real interest even of the landrds to get rid of the danger of the renewal of the evil under hich they suffered-an evil which is not the less likely to cur, because the community is now threatened with one of a opposite description. But whatever reluctance the landlords may have to give up be principle of the Corn Laws (and there would no doubt be peat dificulty in at once abolishing them), they seem to allow hat the present mode in which they operate is bad. The astem of averages gives rise to frauds, which have already, cuore than once, defeated the intentions of the Legislature, nd which it seems impossible to prevent from taking effect. te system of averages should he swept away. The most exceptionable mode of carrying into effect the purpose of taking corn dearer here than in any other countries (if the complishment of that purpose be deemed indispensable), would be to lay a fixed duty on the import of foreign corn, and an equal bounty on the export of British corn. The rate the duty and the bounty should be gradually reduced at tated periods. It might seem a little hard upon the people at only to pay a higher price than is necessary for their bread home, but to pay at times a bounty in order to send it away ble eaten by foreigners. But we should be protected against essive fluctuations, which are mischievous to all classes, perhaps most of all to the poor. We should know the ut of the evil, and above all we should have always before the obvious means of diminishing it by a progressive reeron both of duty and bounty.-Globe and Traveller. POSTSCRIPT. MONDAY, APRIL 4. exceed 10,000 francs; but if the nun be a widow having issue, this exception does not take her case out of the operation of the civil code which prevents a mother from disinheriting her children. It is the fashion in the Chamber of Deputies to declaim against every change, good or bad, produced by the Revolution; and the Ulira reporter has accordingly thought it necessary to regret the existence of this article, which has for its object to secure the interests of families against that weakness or spirit of fanaticism to which females living under the discipline of a convent might be induced to sacrifice them. He also laments that the odious new laws have rendered female vows dissoluble. In short, he declares that the Committee "cannot propose the adoption of such a measure without deploring the melancholy inheritance which: the revolution has bequeathed to the restoration!" (From the Constitutionnel of Friday, 1st April.) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. "MADRID, MARCH 21. "The King has replaced M. Ugarte as Secretary of the Council of the State, by M. Urrutia, who was at the head of a division in the Foreign Office. M. Ugarte has declined the embassy to Turin, on account of ill health, but adding, that he would continue to serve his Majesty in the Peninsula. His refusal of the embassy has been accepted; but he has been ordered to leave the capital immediately, and to choose his place of residence. He has chosen Toledo. The creatures of the favourite seem likely to share in his disgrace. M. Corpos, one of his principal adherents, who lately refused the mission to Switzerland, to which he was appointed, has received orders to quit Madrid in eight days, and repair to his post, about the time that his patron was ordered to depart in 24 hours. "There is more talk than ever of a change of Ministers, but it does not seem likely that M. Zea will lose his place, for it is certain that if he had not assisted in the overthrow of Ugarte, the latter would be still in favour. However, it is reported in the Palace, that the Count de Casa Florez will succeed M. Zea, and that an express has been sent to order him to set out for Madrid immediately. "It is thought that M. Salazar, the Minister of Marine, will retain his post, but that M Villela, superintendent of the Council of Castile, will be replaced by M. Marin, or M.. Anjona, members of the Council."

Not only have the deliberations on the organization of the States-General of the Monarchy been recommenced under the Prince Royal, but it is also confidently affirmed that the statesmen who particularly distinguished themselves in 1814 and 1815 will be again called into offi e. Among them are, Messrs. Von Humboldt, Bergine, and 'General Gneisenau." A Lisbon mail arrived on Saturday, with letters to the 13th ult.

A letter from Bagdad, of the 30th of December, states that news had been received from Bassorah of the capture of Perga by the English, but no details were given. According to the same letter, the malady of Bassorah, confounded with the cholera morbus, had rather abated.

Mr. Howard, the son of Lord Morpeth, a young man of sound political principles, and of great industry in public business, is mentioned as a candidate for this county in the Whig interest at the approaching general election.

Letters received on Saturday from Madrid, dated the 19th ult. assign as the cause of the dismissal from office of the Minister Ugarte, his having, without the King's authority, allowed the introduction of a clause into the draught of the contract for a loan, fixing a rate at which the bonds of the Cortes would be received as part of such contract. The King himself has never wavered on this point, being resolved to give an example to the world, the value of which will be inestimable, he thinks, in preventing all future revolutions. He will not allow legitimacy to reimburse the means which were raised for its destruction. A list has been printed of the Petitions for Private Bills brought before Parliament this Session; they amount to 383! Of these, the Road Bills are in number 122; and we know that there is no better evidence of the increasing wealth of a nation than the abundance of its means of conveyance. To Road Bills, we have to add, Bills for Railroads, 30; Canals, 5; Bridges, 10; Navigations, 9; Docks, 10; Harbours, Piers, Quays, and Wharfs, 16. So much for the facilitation of general intercourse. Next we are to look at the Improvement of our Towns. The Bills for this object are 44 -for Paving 8; Gas and other Lighting, 12; Water-works, 11; Churches and Chapels, 13; Gaols, 3; Markets, 4; Streets and Building, 3; and other circumstances connected with towns, 5. For the advancement of Agriculture, we have Bills for Inclosures, 37; Embankments, 2; and Drainage, 5. Add to these, 24 Bills for the regulation of Poor Rates, Tithes, Tolls, Town Dues, and Statute Labour; and two or three Bills for objects of minor concern; and, last of all, we have to notice notice no less than 50 Trading and Speculating Companies which have come before Parliament for legislative sanction in one shape or another. councils direct their members to support bills, the object of which is to augment their own power at the expense of the community. The only effectual remedy (as has been more than once pointed out in our journal,) would be to make it a standing order to suffer no local bill to be brought in which wants the sanction of public meetings, in the various parishes to which it applies. This would be an easy check to injustice, and a great saving of trouble to conscientious legislators."-Parliament is now legislating for the local affairs of Manchester. A Bill to constitute a Manchester Equitable Loan Company has been twice read in the House of Commons, although, probably, not ten persons in this town, except the Pawnbrokers, whose interests it will seriously affect, know any thing of such a bill, or of its projectors. If it had been a standing order to suffer no bill to be brought into the House, without the sanction of a public meeting, this bill would never have been presented to its notice.-Manchester Gazette. STOCKADES.-The Burmese stockades, of which drawings and plans have been sent to this country, seem to be formidable fortifications of the kind. For a considerable space round the first inclosure, the ground is thickly set with bamboo stakes, bending outwards, extremely sharp, and lying hid in the jungle grass. In their effect upon a person atdog spikes. Next comes a high palisado of stout bamboos tempting to make his way through them, they are not unlike firmly set in the ground, high, and bound close together. Then another space thickly set with spikes. Then another palisado, which one might call a counter scarp; when this is surmounted, a broad ditch or space also set with spikes; and within, a third palisado, which we might term the scarpment, through the interstices of which the Burmese level their muskets at the assailants. In the body of this kind of fortress is a large shed, under which the garrison live. The Burmese soldiers always carry several bamboos for the purposes of fortification, and make a stockade in the night. The utmost uncertainty still prevails as to the numbers of the Burmese. They are variously estimated from three to twelve millions. Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, the following took place at Blackfriars Bridge. A lady and gentleman were proceeding along New Bridge-street, in company with a very fine girl, seemingly about sixteen years old. The latter was undergoing a severe chastisement, and she shed tears in abundance. On the party arriving at the end of Earl-street, the young lady fled from her companions towards the Bridge, and descended the stairs leading to the water's edge. The gentleman pursued her, and was joined by a coal-porter, and just as the young lady was about to precipitate herself into the river, the coal-porter seized her, and prevented the perpetration of the rash deed. Her friends, overpowered with feelings of gratitude, presented the coal-porter with a sovereign.-Herald. seldorff. rable new speculations now afloat, replied, "they are like a LOCAL LEGISLATION.-It is high time that a stop should be put to the present system of local legislation.

NEW THEORY OF VISION.-For the last century, at least, the retina, or membrane which fines the bottom of the eye, has been uniformly assumed by metaphysicians, mathematiciaus, and physiologists, as the seat of vision. M. Lehot, an officer of a Royal Engineer corps, in a volume which he has recently published in Paris, has started a new opinion, and contends that the vitreous humour is the seat of the impression of luminous rays. He denies that there is any direct proof of the popular opinion, that our ideas of external objects are derived from images of them painted on the retina. lle argues that the retina is pierced by numerous vessels; that in many animals this membrane is folded, and consequently that its surface is irregular, and incapable of conveying clear and distinct impressions to the mind. Those who suppose the retina to be the interprte sons of vision, he adds, have never been able to explain the power we possess of adapting the eye to different distances; and he announces that his hypothesis has led to the discovery of a mathematical law for the estimation of distances, and the real and apparent magnitude of bodies.

The present ver sion is well calculated for all who may not be acquainted with the French tongue. It contains an abundance of curious and interesting matter."-New Monthly Magazine. * It seems "It is remarkable, that the only work of Voltaire which has not heretofore found an English Translator, is the Philosophical Dictionary. superfluous to deseant upon a book whose merits have been so long decided. There is probably no work of equal size in any language which has been so frequently reprinted in so short a space of time. Its wit, its variety, the simplicity of its style, and its extensive and curious research, present a combination of attractions which cannot fail to procure a lasting popularity. Translation before us is executed with accuracy and spirit. To transfuse the wit of Voltaire into a foreign language is, of course, no easy task. The attempt any preceding translation from the writings of this author, and with much however has been made, in the present instance, with as much success as in greater than in most of them. The English reader will certainly feel great obligation for a present at once so instructive and amusing as this book has been made by the translators."-Westminster Review. "The language in which the Philosopher's sense is here conveyed, is so neat, free, and easy, as to reflect credit on the taste of the translator, who, in pouring the sense of the original out of one language into another, has not suffered the spirit to evaporate."-Monthly Critical Gazette. Printed for John and H. L. Hunt, Tavistock-street, Covent-garden. PRIVILEGES OF CAMBRIDGE. QUALITY OF FOOD IN REFERENCE TO THE HABITS OF LIFE.-The quality of food should have reference not only to age, but to habits. The richest aliment is by no means the best for every individual. In proportion as it affords chyle, it tends to repletion in those who take little exercise. If the merchant or artisan live freely on flesh; he suffers from feverishness, head-ache, or sluggishness. If the sedentary man of letters commit a like error, his mental, no less than his bodily, faculties are oppressed or disturbed. In these, and similar cases, the secretions are considerably reduced: less is thrown off by perspiration; less is poured into the alimentary canal. Consequently the blood, the great source of all the animal fluids, is expended in less quantity; and fewer materials for its regeneration are required by the system. The quantity of chyle should be reduced to a balance with the consumption effected by the secretions. If full meals be taken, vegetables should form a large proportion. On the other hand, the countryman who gains his livelihood with the sweat of his brow," may safely charge his blood-vessels to the plenitude of health. No morbid plethora can take place, while the consumption equals the supply. His diet should be chiefly animal. On the same principle, the sportsman is hale and vigorous on a diet which would make the sedentary apoplectic. Captain Barclay, during his THE PRIVILEGES of the UNIVERSITY of CAMBRIDGE. tonishing walk of 1000 miles in 1000 successive hours, took daily from ve to six pounds of animal food. It should be remembered, that in civic life a state of full health cannot be maintained. It soon becomes the settlement of disease. Sometimes you see the citizen robust and florid as the peasant; but ère long you will find him labouring under an oppressive affection of the brain, or other serious disorder. The full health even of men trained for boxing, or running, soon declines. Horses, fed and trained for the course, lose their vigour after a certain time. The gamecock often dies, if he be prevented fighting at the period for which he is prepared. If the excess of vital power, produced by his diet, be not spent on extraordinary effort, it becomes the pabulum disease. It is also probable, that a diet excessively rich, though balanced by proportionate exertion, will, if long continued, considerably horten the duration of life.-Thackrah's Lectures on Digestion and Diet.

FISTULAS and PILES.-The extraordinary cure of those painful complaints, obtained by me, under Mr. VAN BUTCHELL, Surgeon, No. 48, South-street, Grosvenor-square, London, induces me to publish my case for the benefit of persons so afflicted, and as a grateful acknowledgment for the great blessing I have derived through the exercise of his superior skill. When my cure was begun, I had been suffering under both complaints for upwards of £1 years, and having been 12 months in hospitals (nine months in England, and three months in Ireland) and obliged to keep my bed 13 weeks, and to undergo three operations (two in England and one in Ireland) under eminent surgeons of both countries, and having been again ordered for a fourth operation, but being afterwards told there was no cure for me, I nearly gave up all hopes of a cure, but often thought within myself, surely there is some one to be found capable of curing those dreadful disorders, and being induced, from strong recommendations, to place myself under Mr. Van Butchell, I joyfully found those thoughts speedily realised, being cured in three months of my Fistulas, and in the same period of my Piles, aud only hindered from my labour six days, and am now as sound as I ever was in my life.

Of the Epigrams it is needless to speak, considering their author's celebrity."-New Monthly Magazine. "The Essay on Fable is the first specimen, we believe, presented to the English reader, of the critical and philosophical mode of writing for which Lessing was so distinguished.
