Mr. Dean's evidence before a former Committee of the House of Commons states the .present profits of the City, atter deducting the expense of collectiog, to be 2.106 L 134.3 d. and the present tolls, after the expense of collecting, to be 9711. lfie. Id. Multiply the present product by the proposed in crease, and admire the liberality of the Corporation of London 11l Will the landowners and graziers through out England, and the consumers of animal food bought at BnrthBeid, patiently submit to this? Will any man of common sense say that an addition of half an acre cau materially tend to remove the loss now sustained by huteh'ers and grittier, owing to the present crowded state of the market, and the consequent cruelty practised on the animals? As a further boon, the Corporation proposes to stop up the present thoroughfare through the market for hackney-coaches and car ts de r tog market bowl. Will this diminish the present obstruction daily experienced in the leading meets of London, or will it tend to the better protection of the lives and limbs of his Majesty's subjects, so long endangered merely for the pecuniary benefit of the Corporation of London? The Bill has already been read twice in the Commons, and will pass through the Committee on the 28th inst, unless the people and their representatives inseslidiately bestir themselves.

The rumour, from what has subsequently Iran. spired, proves to have been utterly unfounded, and ap pears to have been put in circulation by some of his friends here for the twofold purpose of burying every inquiry into his fate, and concealing his meditated in. gentian of going to Van Dieman's Land. To this rash iftep he is said to have been impelled by the only good feeling that had a place in his bosom, viz,, a strong al. fection fur his wife and family, the former of whom being after his &Ott tried, and found guilty of receiv. ing stolen propeity, was transported, together with tier diilditn, at her own solicitation, to that colony.— limy embarked at itio.delatreiso under an auunsed name, on board the Coronet trader, for Van D:e man's Land, bin scarce bad he entered Hobart town when he was recognised under his fictitious appella tioo, and his studiej disguise, by some of his old customers, who congiatulaied him on his safe arrival ationg them, and complimented him on the dexterity hi had evinced in his several hair.bceadth escapes both in England and North and South America.

Thursday evening a very respectable Meeting of de. potations from Committees of Inhabitant HOsfaeholderi in various parishes of London sad Westmintitsr was held at the Freemaso s Tavern, to consider of Measures to be adopted for reforming the Vestries in their respective parishes, and in support of s Motion to be submitted to the House of Commons , by Mr . Hobhouse. touching the abuses and general operation of the Select Vestry aysmm. Deputations were preient from *the parishes of Mary. la-bonne, St. Pancras, St. James, Westminster. St. Mar tin in the Fields, St. Paul, Covent Garden. St. George, ' , Bloomsbury, St. Giles in the Fields, St. Giles. Cripple gate, in all of which petitions from large bodies of the', inhabitants •have been prepared, complaining of the! 'misrule of Select Vestries. Colonel Jones was tailed to the Chair. The resolutions of a former meeting having been read, and some matters of a private nature disposed of, Mr. Hoauovsc, in &cadence with the wish' of the Meeting. proceeded to state the course he intended to pursue. His motion would be for a Select Committee of the House of Commons to take into consideration the Select 'Vestry Ls ws as operating in parishes within the Bills of Mortality; and if he were successful in his motion, he, should then introduce a Bill, ready framed, in which the elective principle would be recognir.ed, and to be modified according to 'cif , clintstances. The measure could not, under present circumstances, be extended to parishes in other' parts of the country with any chance of success, and a' clause would be introduced that no parish be included without the concurrence of &certain proportion, say One half, of the inhabitants. The Hon. Gentleman having spoken at some length in support of the principle for which they were contending, said, it would be his wish to show that io all parishes where the Vestry is close and select, there were grievances—general discontent—and application'to Parliament. ' supposing the Select Com mittee to be granted, it would be composed of different parties,and he should endeavour to have such Members in it as would prove of service in the discussion of the busi ness. It was then that he should call upon the gentlemen of this meeting for their assistince, and should feel ex tremely obliged for any information they could furnish him with as to the mode in which the parochial matters were managed, and the difference between select and open vestries, proving the advantage of the latter. He should suggest, that one or two Gentlemen, intelligent and experienced persons, be delegated from each parish for that purpose. He anticipated that he should have to encounter much opposition; but if he experienced a present failure, such a mass of information would be laid before the country, that he felt certain of ultimate success. He should always be at his post, and they might rely upon his best exertions for carrying their purpose into effect. Mr. Faun having made some observations upon the evidence that would be produced of miaapphcation. neglect, Ste. on the part of twain of the Select. Mr. Houton's' said that what he should want would be, in the first place, evidence of the amoral discontent in any parish occa sioned by the Select - Vestry ; and then as to the Datum of the Vestries, and other matters coo nected with them, without any personal charges ; for he found that where personal. charges were made awe was more disinclination to afford relief than if they am, five.' themselves to the abstract question. Mr. A'Sackax, and another Guatemala from St James's Parish, addressed the Meeting id explanation of some matters CODOCCIed with their pariah which appeared o hive been imperfectly understood.. Mr. Wryness made a clear statement, sonsewhat at length, of the growth and mina', of the Select in Sint Pancras, who now rule in that parish; self-appointed and irte.ponsible to the pari.bioners, whose money they have the power of expending. Some'other Gentleman were proceeding to represent the grievances of their respective parishes ; bet it was agreed that statements upon these matters should be forwarded to Mr. Hobhouse, before the time appointed for his motion.. Arrangemeets. were then made for communications of the various parishes with Mr. Hobhouse, after which that Gentleman retired, amidst the applauses of the company. AresOlution was passed. thar king Mr. Habhouse for his attendance that evening, and for the communication he had had the kindness to make to the Meeting. A vote of thanks was afterwards passed to the Chair• man, for his able condom in the chair, and the business of the evening having been disposed of, the Meeting adjourned. Some workmen employed in making excavations upon the site of the ancient city of Fesu's, in Tuscany, re cently discovered 9,000 pieces of Rom in coin, struck under the Republic, Julius Caesar, the Triumvirate, and Augustin. • MATRINoniAL FELICITT.—Senday last,John Yates, who had been married 53 years, wore the same coat at the funeral of his wile in which he was married, and although in his 78th year, he observed to the sexton of our parish chutch, after the funeral, in reference to the antiquity of his coat, "If I thought I could meet with another woman I could like as well as the one I have just buried, I would have no objection to be married again in this old cage The buttons on the back of thO coat are 15 inches asunder.—Blackerens Wel% aster Jeered. • • • Thursday, two young men left Glasgow, for ti plea btu e excursion to Camsie Fell., where they spent the day.

On Sunday evening last, duri the performance of divine worship in the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. at Heckinondwike, a rush was caused bye pan of.the congregation taking alarm at the falling of a stove-pipe, the result of which was the death of six individials, chiefly young people. The followipg are the particulars—Mr.Wm. Dawson. a local preacher. of Barnbow.near this to wn.w as preaching a sermon in the evening, after which it was intended to have made a collection for the Sunday' School connected with that place. He preached from John" ix. 4,! I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work." At about a quarter past seven, when the preacher was applying the practical part of his discourse. it is supposed that the pressure of the crowd (for the Chapel was filled to excess) had shaken or displaced •the stove, which was in the body of the Chapel, and a little in front of the gallery. 'From the stove was an upright pipe, connected by an elbow with an horizontal one, run ning under the gallery for three or four yards, and out of the front wall of the building. Thii pipe was feebly supported by nail crooks, and, from the cause above mentioned, it fell upon - the people be neath, but without injury - to any one. At this moment that part of the congregation in the vicinity of the spot began to retire. This caused an alaim jn the minds of many not acquainted with the trifling nature of the accident. The consequence was, that an alarm imme diately became general. The panic in the minds of the people in the gallery was very great, from the circum stance that a large quantity of dust and soot ascended towards them. A belief was thus induced that one end of the Chapel bad fallen down, than which nothing could be more groundless. • Then came a general rush from all puts of the Chapel. which was continued end increased by the crashing poise made by trampling upon the broken fragments of the stove-pipe which had fallen on the ground. The shrieks of females, the cracking of the wood work, end the jumping of people over the' pews, produced an appalling effect upon the congtegation, who seemed engaged in one general struggle to make an escape. The preacher in the pulpit used every effort to quell the alarm, but his exertions were fruitless. An individual, perceiein; the crowd hastening towards one of the doses, closed it.— This caused the ucumnsulation of a dense mass of human beings in a porch of but small dimensions, where they remained a short time wedged together, till either from excessive pressure, or from the excitement of fear, the cries of those within induced some persons who had made their escape from the open door, to force the one which had hitherto been kept closed. This being with some difficulty effected, a scene . presented itself which beggars all descsiptioo. Those nearest the door were young persens,who were immediately thrown down and trampled upon by those in the rearothers fell upon them in making their way ow, and when the plea sots had subsided, the passage to the door was literally choked with males and females lying on the floor. so closely wedged that it required considerable effort to extricate them from each other. Those who - had been fortunate enough to have their faces exposed to the air suffered comparatjvely little injury, but others here suffocated before they could be removed. • Part of the assembly remained in the chapel. A report'eas .at length brought in that four perecial had Veen Wed. Thirnatorally excited a fear in thelreastia thine Who remained, that those individuals might form a past of their Oita family, and the visitation was immured by their reships to ascertain whither that was the fact Stilt several people seemed ifispe.ed quiedrto remain in their pews.' but their fears were again soused by a person who had gone outside. thissiting his umbiella through two of the widowi at the back of the chapel. After singing and prayer, the service was concluded without making any collection. The following is a list of the dead— Jobs Leaning. aged 14, take.. est deed, apprentice to a akar maker at &ainehte, mar SvAtbeniank ; Emma W►iteley, taken out dead, Heckinondysike, aged 13; Betty Utley, taken oat dead; ditto, aged 33, unmarried; Ann Heald. Wien sett dead, ditto, aged IS; klartha &rem, taken wt dead„ ditto, aged 14; Hairy *Gamy. died on aloaday evening, ditto. aged 7. Tuesday an Inquest was held on the bodies, at the bootie of Mr. Schofield. the Wnodman lon, before Mr. Jewison, Coroner, and a respectable Jury. Mr. Thomas Wilson and Mr. Joseph Croft were examined at con siderable length. We ire in possession of their evidence, which entirely confirms the statement given above.— Mr. George Whitehead deposed that, having beard Mr. Croft's deposition. it was perfect in all its parts. 'fbe Coroner summed up in an appropriate manner, after which the finding of the Jnry was as follows:- 44 That the said Emma Whiteley, on the 12. h day of April. in the year aforesaid, was attending Divine Service at the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, at Heck mondwike. in the parish and county aloresaid, when accidentally a stove-pipe fell soddenly down amongst the congregation, which then and there excited such great alarm and fear. that great nombeis of ,the cougregation so assembled rushed instantaneously to gala the west door of the said chapel. and that the said among the rest. in mating such attempt, was then and theie.accidentallithrowo down near the . . dial& of the said west door, and was then and by the •preseare of the crowd, instantly seas and died. ...A 'ember of humane gentlemen have set a sobacrlp.

The plaintiff did not bring this action for the purpose of making a profit of his character; he sought only to have reparation made him in the face of the Concr, and in order to evince the sincerity of the plaintiff, he would then propose that if the defendant would make a suitable apolft ogy, a 'verdict for nominal driage' should be te en.
