They have effected the inost surprising cures not only in rcccnt And severe cases, but when salivation and all other means have failed and are of the Utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic Affections, Eruptions in any part of the body, Ulcera- tions, Scrofulous or Venereal Taint, being. justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness, counteract every morbid affection, and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and rigour. They are particularly recommended to be taken before persons euter into the matrimonial state, lest the indiscretions of a parent are the source of vexation to him the remainder of his existence by afflicting his innocent but unfortunate offspring with the evil eruptions of a malignant tendency, and a vrriety of other complaints, that are most assuredly introduced by the same ueglect and imprudence. The Cordial Balm of Syriacum is intended to relieve those persons, who, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitutions, or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obsti- uate glects, excesses, irregularity, obstructions, weaknesses, total impotency, barrenness, &c. A perseverance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the permanent efnjoyment of life. It -,$ remark- able for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended to those,, wtio, from the irregularities of I youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, liave fallen into a despondent state of miud, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the nervous.

THE INCOME TAX.—A point relating to the imposition of the income tax has been stated by a shareholder in a joint- stock banking company. The practice, it is well-known, is to tax the entire profits of joint-stock institutions, and the amount ia then deducted from the dividend of each indi- vidual shareholder. In the present instance the entire income of the shareholder is under £ 150, and he therefore has some notion that he is entitled to a drawback. This case must not be confounded with that of the holders of {Government securities, who, if their income is under the required amount, invariably obtain.a return of the amounts .deducted from their dividends The holders of publtc stocks ,are separate creditors, but in the case of joint-stock com- ipanies tbp. JQa_of taxing a large mercantile body, and 'the qu eg torn that is raised is whether eachThdmdual sKare-' "holder has a right to separate himself from his co-partners, and claim a return in consequence of the small amount of his own particular, income.. The question is one of great interest in the commercial world, since not only does it leffect the shareholders of joint-stock companies—a large body-but may even be found to apply to some of the members of small private firms. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Qn Monday night the down-train to Leeds had proceeded as far ss Masbrough, where the Sheffield train for Leeds joins it. Upon the night in ques- tion the London train had, most fortunately, slackened its pace when Hearing the station for just at the junction, and as one half of the London train had passed, it was run into by the Sbeflield train. The York and Darlington carriages were immediately after the engine, the mail department fol- lowed, and then the Leeds carriages. The engine and York carriages had passed the point of junction, when the Remainder of the train came into fearful collision with the Sheffield engine, and so tremendous was the shock, that the heavy iron crank by which the mail carriage was attached to the Leeds carriages was snapped, as if by magic, the Leeds carriages and mail being pitched completely off the rails, and to a considerable distance. The passengers were sud- denly roused by the crash, which, as we learn, was terrifi- cally alarming, and at once made the best of their way to teri-afirnia. Mr. Feargust O'ConnoT has informed us that so close was the engine of the Sheffield train to where he sat that he could, without bending forward, put his hand upon it while the head of it was all but in the carriage of his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. The steps of the carriage were torn off, and the buners of the mail shat- tered. fortunately the collision took place close to the station, where there is a considerable extent of level space. —Leeds Times. THE ANATOMY OF THE DOG does not, unfit him for the purposes of draught if not taxed beyond his strength, in any greater degree than it does the horse. The dog has some advantages for that purpose which the horse has not. He can lie down in his harness, in a moment be sound asleep, and even by stretching his limbs on the cold stones become re-, freshed; whereas the horse, sweating from ihe pores of the skin, is susceptible of and will take cold from the same means which to the dog gives renewed vigour. The horite will not lie down in his harness, and when heated by exercise it is scarcely safe to permit him to rest anywhere but under cover. MORE FRAUDS ON THE REVENUE,—There is the growing feeling in the city that the revenue of the country is not so well and thoroughly protected as it ought to be, not only in reference to what has lately transpired respecting the dis- covery of frauds at the Custora-bonse, but also in reference to the duties devolving upon the authorities of the Excise. It is within the particular province of these last-mentioned officers to watch the tobarco, trade, in which, as we have mentioned before, there are grave donbts entertained of the legitimacy of the system of business carried on by many of the manufacturers, who are asserted to be selling goods much below the refki value, supposing the unadulterated Brticle is employed,—TVmes. THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—"The original intention of the Charter of the Bank of England was to administer the currency of the couutry, which currency is gold, and the sub- stitute of the gold currency is the Bank of England note. The circulation of the Bank of England notes issued in the stead of gold in February, was about £ 18,000,00^ and the rate of interest then ruled from 4 to -5 per cent. Commerce continues much in the same state as it was in February, 1842, except that prices of most articles are lower. A less amount, therefore, of Bank of Eugland notes would suffice. We find, however, that as gold was imported, the issue of Bank of England notes was increased, so that in the month of February of the present year, 1843, it amounted to £ 2.5,000,000., and the rate of interest gradually fell to 1 and 2 per cent. DisrciED RIGHT TO MINERAL PROPERTY IN IRELAND. We understand that an outrage occurred in the colliery district of the Queen's County, a few days since, arising out of a "family (litipute," as to the possession of a valuable coal mine. It appears that Mr. Hovendon, the gentleman who claims to be the owner of the mine, made a lease of the pro- perty entirely in his own name, while his brother and sister, who are advised that they possess an equal title, refused to admit the tenant. On Sunday last, forcible possession was taken of the tenant, with the aid of about 200 persons, provided with sledges, hatchets, &c. The possession of the engine-house was endeavoured to be obtained by Mr. Hovendon's brother-in-law, but the doors were broken open, and he was dragged out, and was only saved from serious violence by the interference of some gentlemen of the neigh- bourhood, who were present. Informations have been re- ceived against the parties who are stated to have taken violent possession of the property in question, without any legal title. A SON OLDER THAN HIS FATHER.—It is stated that a lady living near Berlin, in Prussia, who has only attained the age of 193, has just contracted a fourth marriage with a youth of 70. But the cream of the joke is, that among the children which the bride brought to her new husband was a boy of 83 !—John bull.

THE MURDER OF MISS GODDARD." At the Assizes of Derby, Samuel Bonsa.ll, aged 26, TVm. Bland, aged 39, and John Huh/ie, alias John Holmes, alias Starbuck, alias Jack, were indicted for the wilful murder, on the 30th of September last, at the township of Stanley, in the parish of Spozidon, in this county, of Martha God- dard. They also stood indicted for a burglary, accompanied by violence to the person. Mr. Serjeant Clarke opened the case for th#prosecution. That a murder of a very horrid description hn been com- mitte.d would not be disputed. Thelearnatmmsel then proceeded to give an outline of the case. The three pri- soners were seen, he stated, about 2 or- 3 o'clock i«-A road. which was between Stanley and Heap, about five miles from Heap, with three bundles. They were afterwards seen going into Hulme's house with a bag. This bag was aftei- r wards found to contain a variety of articles of ladies' ap- parel, many of which would be identified as the property of tha deceased. The deed was- done on-the night of Thursday the 29th. On the Saturday following Bonsall and Bland were apprehended. Hulme, who had been away, returned on the Sunday night, and went with a boy and got up the bag from the garden wherein it had been buried, and they proceed on their way to Leek, in Staffordshire. When at Amber-gate, Hulme hid it in a sough. Each of the pri- soners had made a statement. They had each admitted having been at the house joining in the robbery, but each had sought to cast upon one of the others the actual murder. Hulme had been examined at Leek, in Staffordshire, and the others before Sir H. Wilmot. The learned counsel then explained the law upon the subject. They had taken with them two heavy staves nd a crowbar, as well as a razor- knife, which one of them had just sharpened. From the statement of the prisoners it appeared that there had been some resistance on the part of the deceased lady, • They would hear the evidence, and then say whether they were satisfied that the prisoners were the men who had conjointly committed the barbarous and horrid deed. I William Scattergood, examined by Mr. Whitehurst. Lived at Stanley, six miles from Derby. Was a farmer and knew the Misses Goddard. On Friday morning, the 30th of September last, Miss Sarah came to his house, and called to him. Got up and went to the hall, and saw Miss Sarah in the kitchen. She was much bruised and bloody. Found Miss Martha. Goddard in her night-dress on the bed, with her feet on a chair by the aide and almost covered with blood. She was terribly wounded, and could not speak at all, but she just breathed. He sent for a. surgeon. There was a hole in tne roof of a coach-house communicating by a doorway with the house, large enough for a man to get in ;at, and a ladder was-up against it. The house had been broken into about three weeks before. Catherine Hartshorn.—Was the wife of Timothy Harts- jhorn, of Stanley. Got up about 5 o'clock on'the morning of the 30th, in consequence of what she heard, and went to ;the house qf Miss Goddard, and saw Miss Martha lying on ithe bed with her feet on the chair, covered with blood from the crown of her head to below her knees. Saw her the evening before quite well. She then had on an apton, and had a gown-piece and a muslin handkerchief, which the witness then saw, and which corresponded with the articles produced, from the bag found in the sough. Mr. R. Bowen.—Was a surgeon at Stanley. On Friday, the 30th of September, he was sent for to the hall, and saw Miss M. Goddard in the situation described by the wit- nesses already examined. There was a great quantity of Vrtood on the face, and all over the bed and on the floor. He examined the body. There were three woundi over the left eye, and there were two fractures of the skull. There were also other serious wounds. They must have been in- flicted with great violence, and were blows made with i heavy in?tmrflertt, such as a cro\^baf, Tliere Wf-re On the hand, and the ring-finger was broken. The three Wounds above the left eye appeared to have been made in rapid Il(.I"Q8iol1' !'trt 3'0-' ;h,n" time, to move. Miss Sarah had two wounds on the head, and a fracture of the middle finger of the. right hand. Other evidence in cor- roboration was produced. Mr. Baron Gurney having somewhat briefly summed up, the jury retired, and, after an absence of about 10 minutes, returned with a verdict by which they found all the three prisoners Guilty. The learned Judge then, spienm silence having been pro- claimed in the usual formal manner, proceeded to pass upon t;hem all the awful sentence of death. They had been con- victed, he observed, apon the clearest testimony, of the most atrocious crime committed under circumstances the most ag- gravated that could be conceived, and in his judgment they were all equally guilty. At the conclusion of the formal spntence the learned judge conjured them to make use of the shorttime that remained to them in imploring that mercy of the Highest which they could not expect in this world. They have all been left for execution.

EMPLOYMENT FOR MIDDLE-CLASS FEMALES.—That part at the report of the Children's Employment Commission which relates to milliners and dressmakers tells only in a more official and authentic form what was known before. Their prolonged hours of labour, the unintermittiug nature of their employment, the derangement of the whole physical system, the frequent faintings, heralds of a more confirmed disease, the blindness and consumption, the dark termina- tion of their cheerless existence, all these things have been told over and over again. The question is not, Do such things existf but "How can they be remedied ?" In Lon- don alone there are 1,503 employers in the millinery and dressmaking business, the average of young persons em- ployed by them is about ten to each establishment; this gives 15,000 of these unfortunates, without counting jour- neywomen who work at their own houses, and of whom there are great numbers. In all the large towns of the United Kingdom in Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Bir- mingham, &c. the numbers of milliners is proportionately great, their toil equally incessant, equally destructive. Young women usually begin the millinery business by serving a two years' apprenticeship at the close of that term they are accustomed to enter large and fashionable es- tablishments as improvers." It is estimated that in nine cases out of every ten the health of these young women is seriously and permanently injured. There is a constant drain of workwomen going on in the 1,500 establishments of London by death, or by the retreat of those who carry back shattered constitutions to their homes. And now comes the really appalling features of the case. As quickly a!s they are mowed down does a new and redundant crop spring up. There are more applicants for places in these chambers of death than can find room in them. It is in vain to. talk of legislation to prevent working long hours. Girls are forced to work 20, 22, and 23 hours three nights a week during the -season, not because it is impossible to get double the number to work half the time, but because working half the time would not pay. And girls are com- peting for the privilege of being subjected to this far worse than Negro slavery, because they hare no other means of earning their bread honestly. It is not vanity despising more menial labour that prompts to the sacrifice. All the coarser and ruder employments of which fdmales arc capa- ble (and some, such as nail-making and chain-making- strange employments for women 1) are equally overstocked. These feminine employments, which may be considered, along with millinery, as appropriate to middle-class females, are all in as bad a condition as that we have been speaking of. The derangements of the physical system to which the class of governesses in boarding-schools and private families is liable are notorious; the registers of our lunatic assylums tell the fate of too many of these victims. Wood-engraving, some departments of literature, copying manuscripts, offer employment for a few, but limited in extent, and fast filling up. Saleswomen in mercers' and confectioners, shops, bar- maids, waiters in coflee-rooms and eating-houses, these are businesses of large towns only some of them disagreeable from their exposure to publicity, most of them quite as bearing out as millinery. Add to these, actresses, public Singers, dancers, and the range of employments for middle- class females is already exhausted by the enumeration. All of them are found to be quite or nearly as badly circum- stanced as that of dressmaking. The source of the crying evils revealed in the report of the commissioners is, that there are more candidates for employment—more who must work or die, physically or morally-than can find it. It is idle to speak, as some theorists do, of educating women for departments of business which they are quite competent to discharge but have never yet attempted. The departments are already fully occupied by the other sex. Society would obtain slender relief by throwing the men idle instead of the women. I\o laws, no artificial atrangements, can provide work where it does not really exist. They can only take from one set to give to another. The immolation of female victims must continue until the balance of work. and work- women is re-established.

L, LONDON AND THE CONTINENT—The highest hnce of white wheat of the first quality at Hamburgh, is if "xdoHars current the last, which is equivalent to tvfl? VIfrJparter\ The hiehest quotation of white of the first quality in London is 56s. per ouarter and therefore wheat is 42| per cent, dearer in London than at Hamburgh; and with the sum of £ 2. 16s. a man may buy ll bushels of wheat in Hamburgh, whereas with the same sum he can buy only 8 bushels in London. The highest quotation of Zealand wheat of the first quality at Amsterdam is 290 florins the last, which equals 46s. 9d. the quarter, and the highest quotation of white wheat in London being 56s. the quarter, it follows that • whrat is 19| per cent, dearer in London than at Amsterdam. The highest price of white wheat of the first quality in Paris is 33f. per 11 hecrolitre, which is equivalent to 50s. 5d. per English quarter; and the highest quotation of white. wheat in the London market being 56s. per quarter, it fol- lows that wheat is lli per cent. dearer in London than ia — P!4ris. PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES.—A man named Paxton, a. member of the Established Church, was indicted at Donegal Assizes, on Monday last, for bigamy, his first wife, Martha tirey, bemg still alive. The second wife was a Roman Catholic, and the marriage with her was celebrated by the Rev. Joseph Little, Presbyterian Minister of Letterkenny. The judge, in his charge to the jury, observed, that as the question respecting the validity of Presbyterian marriages was at present before the House of Lords, he would abstain from pronouncing any decision upon its merits. The pri- soner was found guilty of bigamy, subject of course to the final decision of the House of Lords. FIGHT Foa A BEIDE.—A few days since a scene occurred at Roster, in the parish of Lybster, which equals, if not sur- passes a late Glengarry salute to a wedding party. On that occasion a bride and-her party set out to meet her intended they had to cross an unfrequented moor, and when about half-way were attacked by a party armed with guns and other offensive weapons. The bride's party, at first imagin- ing that it was a frolic, passed quietly on, but matters assuming a somewhat alarming appearance, the males of the bride s party fell to the rear, and determined to act on the defensive. The aggressors were headed by the bride's rejected, and as a dernier ressort," he adopted this mode of wooing. A scuffle ensued, and after a severe contest the aggressors were defeated, and their guns broken. This action was fought on the identical spot that the Keiths and Gunns fought for Helen," the Beauty of Braemore, and ill which the former were defeated. -Caledonian Mercury. 114CORPORATRI) CHURCH-BUILDING SOCIETY.—We are gta.d to hold out, for the imitation of other influential com- panies in the city of London, the fact, that on the worshipful » company of gropers becoming acquainted with the exhausted state of the funds of the above society, they have generously vbted the sum of £ 250 in aid thereof. This is a second donation from that company, they having at the formation of -Ifee society giten £ 500. — i SINGULAR C&SE.-At the late Assizes at Mayo, Mr. Skelton. fhsr,«<or > th«b U.e case oi ti i^-ison charged with rape, the prosecutrix had consented to abandon the charge upon the undertaking of the prisoner to marry her. He humbly applied to the Court for permission to have them married in chamber. His lordship said that the prac- tice of swearing rapes in order to induce the accused to marry the prosecutrix was so flagitious and abominable, that he would not sanction, in the most remote degree, any com- < promise between the parties. The case was afterwards called on, and the prosecutrix refusing to give evidence was committed by his lordship for contempt of court. Mr. Skelton said that on former occasions in that court the pre- siding judge had permitted the parties to be married by Dean Lyons. Baron Richards remarked that he could not recon- cile it to his notions of propriety to follow such- a precedent. He did not mean to act harshly in the present instance, but the sooner it went abroad that the court would not sanction compromises of this nature the better for the morality of the people. I It is our duty to record another truly lamentable catas- trophe on the Lancaster Sands. We understand that on Thursday night three men, named respectively William Woods, James Dickenson, and John Woof, all belonging to Bolton-le-Sands, were engaged on the sapds in the occupa- tion of shrimping, when by some mischance, the nature of which we have not heard, they were overtaken, about 8 o'clock, by the flowing tide, and all, sad to relate, drowned. THE CHARIST TRIALS.—The trial at Lancaster of the fifty-tvso chartists charged with conspiracy has at length ter- minated. Of the prisoners, fifteen have been convicted on the fourth count of the indictment, charging that the ac- cused had tumultuously and unlawfully assembled together, and by violence, threats, and so forth, forced divers peacea- ble subjects of the realm to leave their occupation," &c. Fifteen, including Mr. Feargus O'Connor, were found guilty upon the fith count, as follows—" Having unlavvfully endeavoured to excite her Majesty's liege subjects to disaf- fection and hatred of the laws, and having endeavoured to persuade and encourage her said liege subjects to unite, confederate, and agree to leave their several and respective employers, and to produce a cessation of labour throughout a large portion of the realm." The trial lasted eight days, and its extreme length is a sufficient reason for abstaining from any further remark than an acknowledgment, that it was throughout conducted most temperately and most care- T fully, and that the verdicts are fully supported by the evidence. The defendants are to be brought up to receive judgment in the Queen's Bench in the next term. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.—Cambridge, Monday, March 20. The polling commenced this morning at 8 o'clock, when the Whigs made a grand dash, and secured a large majority for • their candidate, which they kept increasing, and at 11 o'clock it amounted to 63. The following were the numbers at the close of the poll :-Kelly, Conservative, 714; Foster, 681-Majority 33. PORTHCAWL.—The "Restless" struck on the rocks behind the breakwater, by missing stays, after the pilot had left, got clear, but was obliged to run on shore to prevent sinking, in 1 a bay between the Sker and Hutchings' point. She has re- ceived very considerable damage and it is feared she will become a total wreck, though she is in such a position that everything can be saved. ANOTHER PEEL MADMAN.—A person of the name of M'Coleman, whose insane vagaries would appear to have fixed upon the Primer of England, made his appearance in the Sheriff Clerk's-office here. His business, he said, was "I to have two clerks to go up with him to Sir Robert Peel on important business. The poor man talked unconnect- edly on different subjects with the persons in the office, but always ended in something about going up to London to Sir Robert. He insisted also upon his being the father of M'Naughten, and threatened, if his wishes were not com- plied with, to make skeletons of all and sundry. Seeing there was danger to be apprehended from a person of his frame of mind going at large, the parties in the office had him enticed into a noddy for the alleged purpose of getting another clerk to answer his requirements (he being satisfied with the physiognomy of only one in the place at the time), who lived at the Townhead. Having succeeded in this device, M'Coleman was safely conveyed to the Lunatic Asylum, in which place he is now lodged at the instance of the Sheriff of Lanarkshire, who granted an order for his de- tention. Ou inquiring into his circumstances, it turns out that he is a shoemaker by trade, and had at one time served in the army, for which he has a pension of 9d. per day. It seems that he had been wounded on the head, and since then has never been rightly settled. It is somewhat remark- able that so many madmen should at the same time con- centrate their notions on one individual, and he the Prime Minister of England. -Glasgow Chronicle.
