B LA I It'S GOUT AMD RHEUMATIC PILLS . A severe case of Rheumatism , communicated by Mr . Allen , Proprietor of the XotiingTiam . Mercury . Mercury Office , Nottingham , March 17 , 1 S 45 . Sib , —I have the pleasure of forwarding you the particalars of a case in which BLAIR'S GOUT and RUED-2 IATIC PILLS hare proved eminently successful . A young woman , named Mary Wain , accompanied by her parents , who reside at Wataall , near this town , called upon me on Saturday last , being desirous of making her ease known for the benefit of the pnblic .
It appears that Mary Wain had for some years past been a great sufferer from Rheumatism , but that in October last she was more than ordinarily afflicted , so muck so that her father fetched her from her place oi service , in order that she might have the attention of her mother at home ; at that time—to make use of the mother ' s description , " she could not lift her hand to hev month , or her foot the height of sixpence from the floor . " Having heard of Blair ' s Pills , the father purchased a box at my shop about tbe second week in October ; the PiUs took immediate effect , for I am assured by the parents and the girl herself , that on the following day she could not only lift her hand np to feed herself , bat she could also move about on crutches . Since that tiaie she has had five more boxes of the Pills , and , if I may judge from appoarances , is as well as she ever was in htr life , and has been so for some months past .
Y ou are at liberty to make use of my name if you think it will add to the weight of this testimonial . I am , Sir , yours truly , To Mr . Prout , 229 , Strand . Rich akd Aixeh . The never-finling effects of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism , have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times . They * ot only give relief in a few hours , but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time . They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago , sciatica , pains in the bead orf ace , and indeed of any rheumatic cr goaty afil cti » n ; in fact ^ s uch has been the rapidity , perfect ease , and complete safety of this medicine , that it has asttnished all who have taken it , and there is scarcely a city , town , or village in the kingdom , but contains many grateful evidences of its benign iufluence .

PPvOVlNClAL MARKETS . Wakefield Cork Mabket . —Purine ; the last seven days we have had a deal of rain , which places tho harvest " in our own country and northward in great jeopardy , and bus its influence in our market here to-day . There is a good demand for wheat , and millers have difficulty in supplying their wants at an advance of 3 s . per quarter . Oats are id . per stone dearer . Beans make rather more money . Manchesteii Corn Market . —At our market this morning there was not much business passing in wheat ; but the transactions that occurred were at an enhancement of Gd . to Sd . per TOlbs . on the currency of this day se'nnight . For sack flour of the best description a good demand was experienced at the improvement noted above . There was also less difficulty in effecting sales tit middling and low qualities at rather higher rates than were previously obtainable . Canadian and States flour moved off steadily , at 2 s . per barrel over former prices . Oats must be noted 2 d . to 3 d . per 4510 s ., and oatmeal Is . to 2 s . per load dearer , with a fair sale for each .
Waurington Corn IIamket . —There was a pretty Rood attendance , and the farmers brought a mo d erate siiUlT of old and new wheats , which the millers bought freel y at an advance of 4 d to fid per bushel .

Hull Coiin Mahket .-Wc havo had a week of very line weather , which our farmers have taken advantage of , and we may now say that our wheat cutting in this distnct is all but concluded , and considerable progress has been made in leading ; what little has been thrashed out so far , is yielding scarcely so well as we at one time were led to expect would be the case , but we think the superior quality of the grain will make up the deficiency in Hour , i'he reports as to tho potatoes are worse , a » d there is every appearance of a considerable failure of the crop . We have had great firmness in the Corn trade since our last , without however much business passing . At this day ' s market we had a very small supply of wheat , eithir new or old , and we quote prices Is to 2 s per quarter higher ; there were several buyers of free foreign but the higher prices asked by holders tended to check business , we however note the article 2 s per quarter hig her , feprnig corn unaltered . Some inquiry for grinding barley , ot linseed the arrivals are larger than of late , hut being chiefly of crushers' account we note no alteration m the market Linseed cakes continue in fair demand at our full quotation , with considerable inquiry for forward delivery . Rapesecd and rapecakes are firm . In bones and guano we note no alteration .
Birmingham Corn Exchange . — During the present Week we have had unsettled weather , more activit y in the cora trade . English wheat lias been sold at an advance of 2 s per quarter , on both old and new samples , if siting barley in request and fine qualities , warranted to growwell , obtain full prices—say 3 Ss to 40 s per quarter . Grinding parcels fully as dear . Indian corn Is to Is Cd per quarter higher , with a free sale . Pine oats scarce , and Cd per quarter more money obtained for this description ,

Old English beans realised an improvement of Is p quarter , with more doing in foreign . LiviBFOoi , Cork Market .-With the exception of a fair quantity of oats from : Ireland ,, the receipts of other grain , ibc , thence and coastwise are this week of small amount . From abroad there is a moderate importation ot wheat , flour , Indian corn , and beans . The exports coast , wise continue large of American flour . Th « general domand for wheat and flour during the last few days has been less active : still , rather a good business has been transacted , particular in American and Canadian , flour , at a further improvement in price , 28 s per barrel having been realised for Western Canal and choice Canadian . On wheat an advance of 2 d to 3 d per bushel has been obtained . The reports of tho potatoe crop continuing of a gloomy character , all feeding articles have been held for advanced rates . Oats are 2 d per bushel , oatmeal Is to 2 s per load , peas 2 s and beans Is per qr . dearer . Indian Corn has further improved Is to 2 s per qr ., with a fair business on Irish account .

State Of Trade. Leeds.—On Saturday There...
STATE OF TRADE . Leeds . —On Saturday there was a full average amount of goods sold at the Cloth-halls , buton Tuesday there was a thinner attendance of buyers , and lessburiutss was done . There was very little business done on either day in fine and middle qualities of oloth , but in heavy winter goods , and fancy cloakings , there was a pretty fair demand . Prices are without any alteration , and the stocks on hand are moderate . More buyers have been in the town this week than fur some time , and although the foreign houses are doing less , there has nevertheless been an average amount of business effected ; Manchester . —We have had only a limited business in Cloth this week , except in good printing cloths , which are not only in demand , but are also rather higher . Apprehensions are now seriously entertained that the failure of the potato crop and the consequent advance of all kinds of Grain , will lead to a limited business through the winter , which makes anxious sellers but cautious buyers . The market closes on the whole rather heavily . Yarns are heavy sale , except the course qualities—such find buyers at full rates .
Bradford . —There was a good supply of wool . The staplers were very firm as to price , as stocks cannot be replaced at less money . The spinners buy with more vigour , but the disproportion between the price of yarn and wool checks all speculation . There is a brisk trade in yam both for the home and export trade . The spinners refuse to contract for fresh orders without an advance , as the business now done is anything but remunerating . The price of wool no doubt checks very much the trade of Bradford . There was a good demand for pieces , but the manufacturers could not obtain higher prices . Haufax . —The market has been duUer to-day than for $ ome weeks past , both in wool and manufactured goods : prices without alteration . Rochdale Flannel Market . —The flannel market has been rather better to day , and more business has been done than on the previous Monday . The wool market has undergone little or no change this week .
Nottingham . —There are but small stocks on hand , either of finished or rough lace goods . The demand is slowly , but satisfactorily increasing ; and , by cautiously supplying the market with suitable articles , the makers have again the chance of working their machinery to some profit . Itis quite certain that all heavy goods cannot be made without an increase in prime cost , an advance of 2 d . per lb . having been established upon the prices of all yarns from No . 80 to ICO- ThesenuiiibMs are likely to go higher still .. On the whole ourprospects seems to improve . The best lace goods were never more universally worn than at the present time .

Ally Ill-Informed As To What Passes M Fo...
ally ill-informed as to what passes m foreign countries . One of thein , for instance , only a few days since , came out with a flaming article , in which it was gravely asserted that Scotland felt herfelf degraded as the vassal of England ; that she was cruelly oppressed by England , that the reading of the novels of Walter Scott had revived the patriotism of her people ; and that they were determined to throw oiT the English yoke ! It is really difficult to believe , that such trash can have been published ; but there it stands black upon white . The writer seems to Labour under the delusion that Scotland is «¦
conquered country , and , as such , annexed to England ; whereas the tnnli is , that it is not conquered at all , and that it is bound to England by mutual ties and mutual interest ; that in fact England and Scotland are not two nations , but one—the Nation of Great Britain . Nay , the strict truth is , that it is England that is annexed to Scotland—not Scotland to Ensland ; for n Scotch king inherited the English crown . But really its not wi-rth while to say a word ab' -ut such extravagant nonsense ' as this of Scotland talking about separating from England , or England from Scotland . The supposition , too . that Scotland is oppressed , is monstrously absurd . ' 1 he man who could make such a declaration , must be very ilmiorant , or he would have known that even it England Scotland
had the inclination to oppress s sons are made of stuff too stern to submit to oppression . The same knowing gentleman who has discovered the determination of the Scotch to shake off the union with England , and to start in business as a na < o i on their own account , has also found out that tin We '^ h —pray , don ' t laugh—likewise intend to fly n thi face of perfidious Albion , and to have a kingol their own . Tally , wc know , is an irascible little i . an , brimful of self-importance ; but who would have ¦ xpected such a mighty resolve , after so many hundred years' union with Mr . Bull ? After all , however , England may still hope , even though Scotland withdraw from her , and Wales cast her oil—for the Isleof Man will , perhaps , d-. ign to protect her . —Edinburgh Weekly Rcyister .

Consumption.—An Extraordinary Cure By Ho...
part of a ? female found in the river at greenwich under suspicious circum-, ;; btance 3 . ? On Saturday morning part of a young female , consisting of the legs , on which wereapair of Adelaide boots , and a part of the body as far as the chest entirely divested of its clothing , were discovered at low water near the landing at the College wharf , Greenwich , when tbe remains were conveyed at once to the bone house of St , Aspaltb . Church . The circumstance was immeuiattly communicated to the various police stations in the metropolis , and in the course of yesterday a poor Irish woman named Donovan , living at No . 24 , New-street , George . streetSt . Giles ' s , stating she had a daughter
, missing since the 12 th of April last , and who she sup . posed had been drowned , came down to view the re . mains . ' Upon her seeing them , although so greatly disfigured from the length of time which they must have been under water , immediately recognUfed the toes , in consequence of ene peculiarity , and when the boots were produced , she stated they were the same which she had bought h « r daughter a few days previous to her being missing . The suspicious circumstances of this affair are as follows : —On last Ea * ter Sunday her daughter attended hig h mass in the morning , she afterwards came home and partook of some dinner , soon after that dressed , and told her mother she was only going to have a gossip ; this was about three o ' clock in the afternoon ; n hour * afterwards her cousin , named Mary Quindon ,
¦ aw three strange young men speak to her near a publichouse in Wardour-street , she heard them a » k her to have something to drink , she then went in with them ; on their coming out she said they wanted her to go to Greenwich , hut not having any money she declined going , upon which one of the throe pulled out a handful of silver , and said , " Never mind , I have plenty , " upon this they walked across the street with her , much to the surprise Of the cousin , as she considered her a very prudent young woman ; they evidently wished to get her OUt Of sight of her cousin , by their manner , and the signs which they passed amongst themselves . A short time after this the same three young men were seen by another young woman coming out of a different public-house with deceased . This was the last time she had been seen , and
the mother , in consequence of her daughter not returning the same evening , gave information at the St . Giles's police station . Since the affair Mary Quindon discovered the residence of the young man who showed the silver to be at 71 , Wardour-street , Oxford-street , and in conse quence the mother made an application thr > . c months ago at the Marlborough Police Court for his apprehension , but the magistrate declined interfering under the circumstances . About six weeks since , being informed that a young female had been picked up near the Strand , the mother went to identify the body , which proved to lie one of . the two females who were drowned off Vauxhallbridge . She returned home , and after standing at her own door crying about ten minutes a strange young man came up and asked if th « bod y was that of her daughter .
Upon an answer in the negative , he said , " I was on board a steamboat at Westminster when the ( the deceased ) with three young men , came on hoard , and the boat had hardly left the pier ten minutes before she fell overboard . " After he had said this , he immediately went away . The invprestion left on the mind of the mother since that time , and also the cousin , was th » t some foul play had taken place , more particularly because the deceased was never known to go out with any young men before . The remains are in such a frightful condition as to preclude the possibility of a medical man giving a decided opinion ; but in consequence of the above facts having being made known to the police authorities , the necessary steps have been taken to apprehend the parties who were last isen in her ofwpscy .
Dreadful Explosion Of A Powde R Mill. Gr...
DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF A POWDE R MILL . Greenock , Thursday . Night . —Most distres « ing Intelligence reached here this afternoon of a dreadful explosion of the powder-mills , at Millhouse , the propsrty of Mr . M'Cullum , situate on the Kerryside of the kyles of Bute , in Argyleshire , by which nearly the whol » of the works , which were considered extensive , were destroyed , and melancholy to relate , nine persons lost their lives . As far as we have been able to learn , it appear * the workmen entered the mill at the usual time , six o'clock , on Tuesday morning . The duty of the unfortunate men , or , at least , part of them , was , it seems , to attend to the eharpng of barrels , jwcparAtorv to the removal of the powder to the magazines , which was carried on in a kind of store , or warehouse , some distance from thfc working nart of the works , when , from some cause or other , the
nature of which will , probably , never be known , an explosion took place ; and when we state that a very large quantity of powder , about four tons , was deposited in this building , the cotisi quonee , as all may suppose , was most awful . The warehouse , and all the surrounding erections were blown to atoms , and the poor fellows met an instant death . Their bodies were hurled to an immense distance , but their identity was utterly impossible , so horribiy were they mutilated . The blast is described by the inhabitants of the adjacent towns , to have been of a terrific description . It burst into the air with a tremendous force , shaking every building within two or three miles of the property , while for the moment the whole atmosphere appeared filled with-tiame of an intense nature . Hy many it was believed te be the approach of an earthquake ; and people were to be seen running from thier dwellings in a state of the greatest excitement mid terror . It Is reported five othw workmen
attached to the mills , who were in another part of the works , were drerdfully burned , two of whom were not expected to recover , the Greenock Advertiser adds , that the event has created the greatest sensation in the county . So dreadful was the explosion , that it is said to have been heard and felt at a distance of twenty miles . It is also stated that a woman living in a house one mile off was standing beside one of her windows at the time , and the effect of the casuality was sueh that the glass was broken at a moment , and her face literally blackened with the powder . It is altogether inexplicable how so many men were in the warehouse nt one time , as we understand it is a peremptory regulation that no more than two shall be on account admitted in these hazardous premises , but the reason remains at present unknown . Wc believe this is the second time the mills have been blown up within the last four years . Most of the unfortunate sufferers have left females to deplore their loss .
A Husband's Revenge. The Gazelle Dc Ti-I...
A HUSBAND'S REVENGE . The Gazelle dc Ti-ibunaua ; gives the following dttails of a " murder" lately committed in Paris , which wu should call" killing nomurder " : — " Relations of business , which led at length to personal intimacy , had existed between M . Lejtune and M . Jay , the latter of whom has made his namd well known by his mechanism , called 'Jayotype , ' for which he has taken eut several patents . M . Lejeune . who is a master tailor , is a remarkably good-looking man , abnu ? 28 years old . As to if . Jay , he was turned of 40 , and rather ill than good looking . II . Lejeune , however , whose wife is young and pretty , had conceived a jealousy of M , Jay . His suspicions , which were at first vague , had latterly become more fixed , and to such an
extent was his mind affected , that , after having broken off all relations with M . Jay . he is said to have informed the commissary of police of the quarter , that if he should over find M . Jay alone with his wife , he would proceed to the Inst extremities . Things were in this state , when on Tuesday morning , M . Lijeune told his wife he had received a pressing order , which compelled him to sot out immediately for Rouen , and at about four in the afternoon he proposed that his wife should accompany him as far as the railroad station , in theRnc St . Lazare . She did so , and did not leave him until she had seen him take his seat in the train . This pretended departure , however , was only a . feint . Lc-jeune had no sooner arrived at the first station of Asnieres , than he left the Rouen train and returned to Paris by one from Versailles . He
proceeded to Rue Neuve Vivienne , and placed himself in a position to watch tho shop of M . Jay . We are informed that whilst he was there watching , he saw a letter delivered to SI . Jay , which he concluded wis from Madame Lrjeune . About nine o ' clock in the evening , M . Jay , whose wife and children are in the country , left his shop , and gave instructions to his shopmen , which indicated that he would not return until n very late hour . He proceeded to the Hue Montmiirtre , followed hy Lejeune , and M . Jay having entered the house where Madame Lejeune was . the husband after waiting some time went in also , and by means of a second key which he carried penetrated into his room , and saw the guilty parties in bed , with a night-light burning near them . At this sight Ltji-une lost all control over himself , and taking a pistol from his
pocket fired ntM . Jay , hut his hand bfineae-itateil his victim was untouched . He then drew fc : b a C 0 U ail poignard , which he was in the habit of carrying in the pockt-t of his paletot , and stabbed Monsieur Jay in the breas ; several times . Monsieur Jay , attacked in his sleep , could offer no resistance , and expired after uttering a few words . As to Mdme . Lejeune , she was more dead than alive , and could rather imagine than see tha seine that was passing . When the unfortunate Jay was dead , Lejeune , who had in some degree recovered from his fury , went down stairs and said to the porter of the house , 'I have just killed my wife's lover ; go and tell the Commissary of Police and the Proeureur du Roi that I am waiting for them . ' The
porter went instantly to the ofiice of tbe commissary , M . Couesna , in the Marche St . Joseph , exactly opposite the ' "uisc '" which this dreadful affair had take- ? plate . yf n the commissary arrived , Lejeune surrendered himself and said he was ready to answer for what he had done The commissary placed a guard over him during tl e night , and on the following morning sent him to the Prefecture of Police . In * c course of the day , the l ' vt « - cureur dulloi had Lejeune brought to the house and confronted with the dead body , lie repeated his former declaration with much calmness , and was then taken to th « prison of the Conciergeric . " The Gazelle des 7 Viiwii < iii : i : states that Madame Lejtune has not been arrested , but is gone to reside with her family .
Lejeune . alluded to above , appeared on Monday before the Court of Ass-izes of the Seine as witness in n ease of volbery . He had been brought under guard from the ConeUrgerie to give his evidence , which amounted to nothing . He is a man of small stature , pale , and with fair hair . Hi « appearance is that of a Genvan , and he speaks with » foreign accent . He did not appear much cast down by th « petition in which he is placed .
A Husband's Revenge. The Gazelle Dc Ti-I...
SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM . 1 H BSSBX , rVENKiKGTOH , Monday . A fire of a most awful character , involving the des . truction of property to an enormous amount , broke out about forty minutes past eight o ' clock on Sunday evenvoir on the farm premises occupied b y Mr . Hill , a most respectable yeoman , and a vsry old inhabitant of this parish . Wennington is a small village , situate about a mile and a half from Purfleet , in a north-westerly direction . Mr . Hill ' s farm stands near the junction of the roads leading to Rainhatn and Aveley , about 150 yards beyond a road side inn , known as the Lennard Arms . The farm house in which Mr . Hill resided , with the stack yard barn , and stables , form a sort of square , enclosing the * cattle yard , and altogether covering an erea exceeding an acre of ground . The northern end of the stack yard abuts on a lane , all the other aspects of the homestead are Inclosed and sheltered .
The fire was first discoversd at the hour above named , by police constable Hamilton . The flames at this time had scarcely extended beyond one corner of the stack , that portion on fire closely approximating on the lane befora alluded to . Hamilton immediately ran across the yard to Mr . Hill ' s house , and aroused the inmates , after which he gave the alarm at the LeiinBrd Arms , and messengers were dif patched in various "directions to obtain fire engines , < bc . ' The garrison at Purfleet , distant as before stated , about a mile and a half , supplied three powerful ones , which were upon the spot in a very short perio- ' , accompanied by a large bod y of soldiers and other persons employed within the arsenal . A fourth engine was supplied by Sir Thomas Barret Lennard , of Bethcrs . Mr . Marden , of Rainham , supplied a fifth engine , and
two smaller ones from the adjoining parishes were also brought to the spot within an hour of the outbreak . Before the arrival of any of them , however , the nre had extnnded itself so fearfully , that any attempt te do more than confine its ravages to the stack yard and outbuildings of the homestead was at once seen to be hopeless . Before midnight the whole contents of the stack yard , consisting of six wheat stacks , averaging fifty quarters in eaeh , a rye stack , a barley stack , and three hay stacks , two barns , the bags of each filled with barley , and one of them containing fourteen quarters of wheat ; a cowhouse , tno sheds , one waggon , t > ree carts , a threshing machine and a stack of 300 hurdles were entirely consumed , the dwelling house , granary , and stables closely adjoining the same , being alone saved from the ravages of the devouring element .
There appears to be no doubt that the fire had been the work of an incendiary , although as yet no positive suspicion rests on any party . The loss is altogether estimated at about & 2 MQ ,

Tlkman- At Dartford.—On Friday Evening A...
tlkman- at Dartford . —On Friday evening an inquest was held before the coroner for West Kent , at the Dartford union , toinauireinto the circumstances connected with the death of Theodore Eitzdalt . a young Russian ( said to be of noble family ) , who committed suicide on the previous day by shooting himself . From the appearance of the body tbe deceased was about twenty-four years of age . His clothes were of a superior foreign make , but much worn , particularly his boots ; he had worn no stockings . The surgeon of tbe union deposed that on the previous day , when tbe deceased was brought in , be was in a state of collapse , and expired in a very short time . lie examined tbe body , and found that death
bad been caused by excessivehctmorrhage , internally and externally , proceeding from a small bullet wound just below the right breast . The ball had evidently passud through the lungs . A labouring Irishman deposed tbat whilst passing through a field between Dartford and Greenhithe , he heard the report of a P ' * « anu ° n . ' » g r o « nd saw deceased in the act of falling . . A . pistol was lying near . He ran up and asked him wbat was the matter , and he faintly replied , " Memory , memory , " Witness obtained assistance , and took deceased to the union workhouse . Mr . Strauss { a teacher of the German -language ) said he knew the deceased well . He was a Russian and was nobly connected . Previously to his coming to this country he bad been a philosonhical student .
He came over here in search of an uncle ( a colonel 5 n the Prussian army ) , whose aid lie required to assist him in making good his claim to a large estate , of which he had been deprived . He was unsuccessful in his endeavours to find his relation , and was much reduced . On Thursday witness received a . note at bis house in Whitechnpe ] , mitten h pencil by the deceased , and " posted the previous dav at Plumstead in Kent . It stated his intention to commit suicide in that neighbourhood . In it was enclosed a letter to his " Moved Leonora , " a lady to whom he was betrothed at Wiesbaden in Germany . There was also a lock of her hair , and some worked lace bearing the motto " Remember me . " This letter , part of which was read by the coroner , was
written in the most affectionate language , and said that he had risked all for her , and that a sure ball would end all his troubles . Witness bad no doubt that disappointment and distress drove him to commit suicide . Other evidence went to show that on his person was found eleven bullets , a canister of powder , a small paper of tobacco , and a luciferbox . besides a diary written in German , the last leaf of which was writjen in pencil , dated Wednesdav , August 19 . It stated that he had reached his 24 th year , that his troubles and fear of want had driven him to the deed , aa he was reduced to the last 7 d . and could not beg . The jury returned a verdict , " That the deceased Theodore Ritzdaltdied from the effect of a pistol shot from his own hand , but in what state of mind he was at the time there was r . o evidence to prove .

Aristocracy of the Skis . —The Liverpool Mereunj i eports the following police case : —On Tuesday two American sailors , named Alonza Lewis arid George Brookes , wore placed before Mr . Rushton under the following circumstances : —It appears that a poor Hindoo , who sells tracts , went into the house where the sailors were for the purpose of selling his books . lie succeeded in selling one , for which hegot paid . One of the accu-ed seized the remainder ot his siock , and destroyed them . On the Hindoo remonstrating , he was immediately , with much abuse , ordered out . and , not instantly complying with the order , both the sailors assailed him . lie was beaten and kicked , and fled lor safety into the street . The p ?> or fellow was followed by his assailant ? , who , as
Mr . Moss , one of the witnesses , stated , beat and kicked him about the head and breast in the most dastardly manner . The seamem made no defence . As soon as this case had been heard , an elderly man , a negro , stepped forward to prefer another charre . The negro stated that , as he passed the same sailors , one of them squirted his spittle into complainant ' s face , and , on bo . s > g remonstrated with the negro was immediately knocked down by one of the sailors , whilst tho other threw at him a laree stone . The iie ^ 'ro had not given the slightest provocation . Their cowardly conduct did not stop here ; for a poor woman , an Englishwoman , who was carrying a
mulatto child in her arms , was struck in the face , and the child knocked down . In both these cases no defence was made . These republican sailors were excited by the dark skin of their victims to abuse and injure them , Mr . Rushton , on inquiry , found that the negro had shipped on a voyage to Calcutta , and that to detain him until the sessions would but indict further i : ij ury ; he therefore did not send them for trial . He . however , spoke with indianaticn ot the brutal conduct of the prisoners , and told them that such conduct in England could not be endured ; that the laws admitted iio difference between white and black ; and that the utmost punishment the justices could award for the offence was much too licht .
After consulting with Mr . Christopher Rawdon , who sat on the bench , Mr . Rushton ordered each of the sailors to pay the sum ot ' SZ . for each assault , and in default of payment to be imprisoned two months ; he also ordered them to find bail to keep the pe . ws or , in default , to be imprisoned four months . We trust this prompt and salutary punishment may serve to convince such ot ' eur American visitors as venture to beat and kick a man because he has a black skin , that the law is too stronu for them . We are glad to say that , in general , the American sailors are as weil behaved and as respectable as our own . 2 vow ar . d then however , the curse which slavery brings appears , and we have the results in acts of this kind . Melancholy Accident . —Gibraltar , July 31 . —
On Saturday the Russian Imperial vacht Ncreide and the Louisa Royal Western vacht were signalled as returning from the eastward " , with their flaqs hni : ' - mnsthigh . Much anxiety was naturally felt . On entering the bay , the Russian hoisted up his flag to the mast head , and it was evident that , whatever was the misfortune , it had occurred ou board the Louisa . It was soon ascertained that Mr . Allan , a gentleman who had accompanied the owner of the yacht on his trip from England , was a corpse on board . It appears that he attempted to land en ' . he beach at Tctuan , in a boat which , though manned with seven men , was capsized by the rollers near the shove . The dingy was ' sent with three men in her to render assistance ; . 'he »& s also capsized ; and ; he
result was , that Mr . Allan and three men were drowned , including the cockswain . Mr . Allan ' s and one of the men ' s bodies were washed ashore , where Mr . Butler , the British Vice-Consul , caused them to be buried with the usual ceremonies , under the direction of the governor , Hache- ! Iache . The anguish of Mr . F . cming , Lady-Catherine , and those remaining on board the Louisa , was poignantly severe ; but no attention or expression of sympathy , that such a melancholy occasion permitted , was wanting on the part of the officers of the Ncreide , which kept company with the Louisa
during the whole period of her detention in the bay of Tctuan . As soon as Prince Henry of the Netherlands heard of the distressing accident , his Rnjvl liichness , with that graeiousness and benevolence which characterises him , immediately despatched an officer to present- his condolence , and tender such services as might be required . Mr . Allan was a very estimable gentleman , loved by all who tat w him , and the most intimate friend of Lady Catherine and Mr . Fleming His body was followed to the grave by the crew of the Louisa , accompanied by Mr Fleming as chief mourner , The Governer . ard his personal staff also attended .- Gibraltar C / trom ' c ' f ,
