Tan PROJECT of forming extensive docks on the Surrey side of the river, at or near Rotherhithe, to be entitled the Wellington Docks, is being proceeded with.

His lordship stated that he had recently learned that of the :150 pickpockets and burglars, at a meeting of whom in London he some nine since presided, only fifty were now pursuing those callings. 'l'l►e refor►nation of the remainder had been effected by the Bible in the hands of a very ignorant man. THE LoNDoN CorrEE.HOCsE KEEPERs object to the unfair attempts of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue to extort from them 9d. instead of fid. in the pound on their business premises. The claim is founded on a decision of the judges having decided that houses occupied as coffee-shops are liable to assessment to► the inhabited house duty of 9d. in the pound. Against this the coffee-house keepers remon strate, declaring that their establishments ought to be rated at the lower amount fixed upon shops and places of business. Meetings have been held, anti subscriptions proposed among them, with the view of bringing this question to an issue. it is stated that a proposal has recently been dis cussed at the Bank of France for making all their payments, as far as possible, in gold, and refusing to issue f►ve-franc pieces, so as to check the continued exportation of silver.

Hughes, Storer, and I.)ons, had joined in an action of ejectment to re. eover possession of the Opera house. They all three instituted suits for their respective debut, had severally rissovervil judgment, and afterwards issued writs of extent against Mr. Lumley fur the amounts. The writs were delivered to the sheriff, who executed them all on the mune day, but in the order in which they were plaeed in his hands, Hughes, whose debt amounted to 1,1431, obtaining the first place.

This point being, atler much discussion. reserved fur considenition by the court above, a special ilefenee was urged against Hughes's debt.
