Who can be surprised that thd masses of Great Britain are in a state of destitution and misery With a population of 37,000,000 in England, Ire land and Scotland, Groat Britain paid, in 1847, .£56,- 000,000, or $280,000,000 taxes. Of thin, 846,000,- 000 was derived from property—the tax of aristocra cy and gentry—while $236,000,000 was derived from trade and industry, and blood of the masses.— William, the Norman, who founded, in the tenth century, the system of English taxation, ie generally dolled a robber, but in the period of six centuries, and'from his conquest to 1600, Engiish.taxes never rose in a single year above $3,000,000; George the 1,. raised them to $30,000,000; George 111., the odious tyrant who thought to strangle our liherty, raised them to $75,000,000.

The Mayor it seems had ari intimation of what was intended, and prepared an armed force accordingly, and appearing on the stage,'notified the rioters of the fact. Nothing, how. .ever, had the effect of quelling the, disturbance, which was momentarily increasing, until Madlle Lind made _frier appearance-3.nd all was silence, calm and respectful.

In whether a devise creates a fee-tail or not, the feet that the tenant-in-tall• may bar the-subse quent estates, if itis, should not have any weight.

Will of his father, Moses Middleswarth, and that he had not .a fee. simple title to the land, though he has attempted to convey such; and it is admitted that, if this be so, the defendant is entitled to a verdict. It is admitted that the plaintiff is unmarried and without issue, and that, if the estate devised to hi m is a fee tail, it was effectually barred on the 29th June, 1848, by proper conveyances. The Court therefore directed a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, reserving the question as to the quantity of the estate devised to the plaintiff.— The Will of Moses Middleswarth is dated 14th January, 1841, and the relevant parts of it ure as follows: 1, I devise and bequeath unto my son Jonathan, the Ramsey place," Sic. Then in a subsequent part of the Will he continues : "I further direct that in case my son Jonathan should die without leaving any legitimate issue, then it is my will that the real estate bequeathed to him shall be sold, &c., and my executors, or the surviving ones of them shall pay $1.500 to certain charitable uses, and the balance I direct shall be divided among all my remaining grand.children that now are or hereafter may be born," &c. Mr. Woods for the plaintiff. The case of Eichelberger vs. Barritz, 9 Watts, 447, shows that there are sufficient words to create en entail. There is nothing in the devises over to show a contrary intent, 2 Jarman on Wills, 447 ; 1 Bro. c. c. 187; 2 Jarman 246, 449, 450; 2 Russel & M. 390.

OPINIO N Loomis, .I.—A devise to A or to A for life, or to A and his heirs, tvith a subsequent clause de• vising over, on A dying without leaving issue, has always and invariably been construed as, of itself, creating en estate tail. A devise over on a dying without leaving issue, has, with almost no excep [ion, been construed as importing an indefinite failure of issue, unless Were is something in the character of the devise over, that demands en im plication of a failure of issue within a definite pe riod. The only question in this case, therefore, is. does the subsequent devise over, for. that benefit of Missions and toe the benetit of the grand chil dren, show an intent to limit the failure of issue to a definite period 1 The case of Johnson vs. Currin was decided only a few months after Lapaley vs. Lumley, and without any reference to it; and I cannot avoid thinking, most respectfully, that the two decisions are entirely incompatible; for I do not see that the word " heirs," present in the former case and absent in the latter, is or can be considered as at. [wing the question. The expression, "dying without leaving issue," controls the principal de vise, whether the word "heic" be used or not.— Finding this manifest conflict, as it seems to me, In the decisions of the Supreme Court, we are compelled to resort to first principles, in order to solve the question now presented. Considering these two cases as ruling the law of the present case, in different directions, I am compelled to enquire, whatis the law as it has always here. tofore been received. If I have understood the case of Johnson vs. Currin, the learned Judge has put it entirely upon the intent of tbe ;testator, without giving proper weight to the priticiple that consistency with the rules of law is always an element in that canon of construction ; and that there are rules of law for arriving at the intent, and some that control and frustrate the most manifest intent. One of the most valuable and best. established of these rules, is that in Shelley's case, a rule founded on most enlightened reasons, and that alt fects a thousand titles to land, and the principal merit of which is, that it frustrates, and is intend ed to frustrate, grants that are contrary to public policy. It may be tittered by Act of Assembly, but its judicial abrogation would be fraught with most disastrous consequences. Another of these rules, equally well settled, and with equal reason, is the rule as to ascertaining whether the devise over is to take effect after a definitt or an indefinite. failure of issue; a rule, designed not to shackle and perpetuate estates, but to throw them open to alienation at the ear liest possible day. And that is the use made of it in the argument here, "wit was in Johnson vs. Currin. The principal rule on this subject has been modified in England by Act of Parliament; I but until the Legislature alter it here, we must consider it as still in force. The question here is not, whether Jonathan has a right to bar the estate of the persons in remain , der; but whether he takes an estate tail. In de , ciding this we are not to look at the law for bar, ring, but at the words creating the estate. We cannot annul the law that gives power to bar, by deciding that, because it may be barred, therefore, it does not exist. An incident of the estate, when found to exist, is not to enter as an element into the enquiry as. to existence. Thougb the law fa, vors the barring of an entail, yet it does not di's , countenance its creation; end, therefore, in a question of tee simple or fee tail, in themselves, there is no rule of law directly preferring one to the other in a case of doubtful intent. The law alloWs an entail—and if we find, from the words of a grant, an intent to create one, we must call it an entail ' • though the law has made it a consequence of that . conclusion, that the ten.. ant in tail may defeat the ulterior designs of the devisor. If the law presumes- that every man knows that an estate tail may be barred, it also presumes that it is created with the intention that the tenant in tail may bar it, if he pleases, and that the ulterior devise shall not take effect, if be is dissatisfied with them. And if the devisor did not know these things, the Court cannot cure his ignorance ofilaw. If a man gives a bond, he must pay a bond, even if he did not know - the name it went by, nor how tong he would be bound by it. There are a few simple canons of interpretation, under the guidance of which I think we can, with a fair degree of safety and certainty, arrive at .*" design Orthis testator on the point in questii+• 1.

If the estate of `.l estate tail; then both the principtiTtih;i i' 4 ls are at once vested and indefeasible, -:,, ,,, ;Ldonbt, this also argues in lavor. ot au , - Again, unless it clearly apps.--,-.= that - fri:i.-"lnd ary intent, in favor of the intended to reduce the primary by the word " issue," to a defeasibn mary intent will prevail. I think it very likely that , the testater know that his devisee would have power' the entail ; but with that we have nothing tt..-. Some people try to trammel estates in fee simple : . Should we, in pursuance of this intention, declare them not fees simple? Is it not better to ask ourselves, bow do we know that be did not knoW the character and incidents of the estate devised? We might defeat his intentions by assuming that he did not know how to expressothem. He may intend a fee tail with all its privileges, while we are declaring u fee conditional with all its restric tions. Again, if the character of this devise over is doubtful, it will, if possible, be construed a vested remainder; and this it can be, if the prior estate is• an entail, and not, if it is a fee conditional : therefore this should, in case of doubt, be held an entail. Looking at a vested remainder, after an estate tail, in its essential character, it kin much higher estate than an executory devise; for it may have a hundred chances of vesting in possession, where as an executory devise can have but one. True, the remainder may not vest in possession for a long period, and may therefore be worth but little; but an executory devise may never vest. If this is an estate tail, the remaindet vests in possession as soon as the issue ceases, and that may be to morrow, or the next century. The executory de vice could vest no-sooner, and it might be defeated entirely by the birth of Issue If Jonathan had not exercised his right of barring the entail, and had died leaving issue living, the shoe would be found pinching the other foot, and the parties in terested would occupy the reverse sides of this ar gument. We must look at these estates irrespec. live' of the events subsequent to their creation. The very object of allowing an entail to •be barred is to defeat the testator's expressed tion, and we are not allowed to call this unjust. The tenant in tail is the primary object of the testator's bounty, and it is not unreasonable to treat his issue as inheriting through his merits, and to allow him to bar their rights. We may now look at the character of the de vise over : Is there any thing in it, showing that it was not to take effect at all, if Jonathan should die leaving issue living, and that issue should die without issue? If ao, then this is an executory devise; but I am not able to see any evidence of such intention. Or to'reverse the proposition: is there any evidence that the prior estate is to he discharged from the devise over, as soon as Jona. than dies leaving issue livings Then it is a con. ditional fee; but I see no evidence of such inters. Lion. The subsequent estates are not too small to I await the expiration of a fee tail; for nothing is more common than to limit fees tall, life estates, and even pecuniary legacies, upon a fee tail, with out it being thought of that the fee tail was there by converted into a fee conditional. This is the true question, War it intended - that the devise over should take effect whenever the line of Jonathan should fait, and that it should not be de leased simply by Jonathan dying leaving issue liv ing? I see nothing to prevent an affirmative an swer to this quebtion. This must therefore be de clared an estate tail: . I'mnst think that if the law had not allowed an entail to he barred, no one would ever have daubted that this is an estate tail. But what right has any one to declare it not to be such, in order to get it clear of one of the char. acteristica with which the law has clothed it. If this is not an estate tail, then it is not difficult to see that we shall soon have, titles enough loaded with tho shackles of inalfenation, and held in abeyance by the gripe of the dead.

WESTERVELT. - - Attention • Is respectfully terited Public to the foaming merles, set forth in relation to one of the most important Remedies of mod elm times ! PETROLEUM OR ROCK OIL ; TT isnot more than before ago since this great rem .l. edy was brought the public, for the relief and cure of disease. Its great powers to- heal, have, since then, become fully appreciated by the community, and we allege that the longer it is tried themore certain will its great fame spread . It is not the remedy of a day, got up h for the sole purpose of making money; but, one, whic conceive, will continue to be used when all nostrums we have beer forgotten. The PETROLEUM Is a Natural Remedy, elaborated in the depths of the earth by a power and agency that laughs to scorn all'human competition. It is our duty, when we write about a medicine, that we write Taunt—that we Bay nothing calculated to deceive those who may trust our word or put confidence in our statements. The sick are very apt to At at any thing that promisee relief trona ease. A story can hardly be too highly wrought to an.' swer the object of gulling or humbugging some of them. Now, we do not desire to do this; we are anxious only that the truth in relation to our Remedy should be told. in order to secure for it a reputation far exceeding . any. single article of the materia medico. Plain, unvarnished facts—facts that may be ascertained in our own city and neighborhood, bear ample testimony in favor o( the Pe troleum. Within the past two months, two of our own citizens, who were totally blind, have been restored to sight. Several cases of blindness, in the State of Ohio, have been cured. and, also the case of a gentleman in Bea ver county. There arc others; but these cases are near home, and may be referred to b any persons who may have doubts on the subject. Thee cases were cured of limy had been abandoned by physicians as hopeless. The Petroleum will cure, when used according to diree tions—Diarrhma, Dysentery, Piles, Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia. Eruptions on the Skin,. Pimples on the face, Chronic Sore Eyes, Ringworm, Tetter, Scald Read; pains in the bones and joints, old sores, Ulcers, Wens, Tumors.

She was attacked with a very sore eye. in February or March Tut, when! immediately upped to the best me dical aid in the city, by whom a was pronounced " a very bail eye ;" and all gave me no hope of doing her any good. After which I took her into tha country . to an y old lady, who had been very successful in curing eyes. She told me that her case was hopeless, no she would certainly lose not only that one, but, also, bat the other would follow—it being a scrofulous affection of the blood. And I do certify, that at -the time my fat, (J. B. Vachon,) came to the conclusion that we had ba ler try your " Petroleum," sha was entirety blind of ens eye.
