Though there were very few country buyers at this morning's market, and on the whole only an exceed ingly limited demand, still so few samples of New Wheat appeared, that a depression which took place on Saturday was fully recovered, and, in some instances, last week's quotations were rather exceeded. New Oats brought an advance of ed. .per bushel, but some quantity remained unsold. Oatmeal was moderately free sale at our previous currency; the same was the case with Flour.

Biggar Martinmas fair was held on Thursday. A number of south country buyers attended, and the market was well stocked with qucys and cows in calf Fat beasts were in good request, but few of this sort could be had. Fair prices were in most instances obtained. Milk cows, newly calved, ran as high as 101., and those with calf from 61: to Si. No sheep or lambs were sbewn. The few horses produced sold well, and brought in general from 201. to 301., aed, in a few instances, 35/. On the whole, considering the low state of markets in general, and the season of the year, a great deal of business was done, and dealers went away in good spirits.— Glasgow Chronicle. In the middle of October a young woman At-ho was washing linen in the Evgnes, at Nyons, depart ment of the Drome, fell into the river and was carried down the current. A veteran, 70 years of age, who had made all the campaigns of the Revolution, immediately plunged in, and succeeded in pushing her upon the hank. no strength of the old man being exhausted by the effort, lsse sunk. At the cries of the spectators another veteran hastened to the succour of his co'nrade, and brought him to land, but he was a corpse.— Galignani's Messenger. LILLYWHITE., our celebrated bowler, fre fluently after matches in Lorn's Ground earned several pounds. As soon as a game was finished, several gentle men were in the habit of going up, and asking him to bowl to them. One would place half-a crown on the stumps for an innings ; another would offer ss. and even 10s. The highest bidder of course obtained precedence ; and seldom had LILLYWHITE to bowl more than 10 balls, unless the batsman was a very good player,—before the stumps were torn up. One person saw LILLYWHITE get as much in this way as 21. in less than an hour, so anxious were the nobs to have "a touch of his bowling."—Zlrigl►- ton Gazette. The inhabitants of Brighton, less " liberal" than their neighbours of Lewes, who resolved,--at least signed a resolution,—that now the " Relief"_ Bill had passed, the memory of Popish distinctions should also pass away from the land, celebrated here on Thursday last, with the usual warmth, the anniversary of" Gunpowder Plot." An immense concourse of persons assembled in the even ing as usual on the Steine, to the largest enclosure of which the fire-works were chiefly confined. As many as six lighted tar-barrels were rolled down North-street from the Church-•hill to the Steine, by an organized party of about 30, composed apparently of bricklayers' labourers, determined to keep up the " charter." They were dis tinguished from the rest by having their faces painted, and wearing red caps. The High Constable, very commend ably, did not interfere with them. After the above dis. guised party bad exhausted their tar-barrels, they assem bled in a body in front of the High Constable's house, and sang after their fashion the Mitional Anthem ; they then gave three huzzaa, and returned peaceably to their homes. The evening passed without any accilent.—Brighton Gazette. Yesterday morning, while two young men were walking by the side of the river, between Tradeston and Govan, they observed a wheel-barrow, with two small herring firkins, standing in the neighbourhood of Mr. TODD'S weaving factory. This at first did not make any particular impression on their minds; but they had not proceeded above 200 yards farther, till they noticed, lying close to the brink of the water, a pair of scales, with some small weights. These they lifted; but continued to walk on, and a little farther west, they found a checked woollen apron, which bore evident marks of having been violently torn from the person of the individual who had been lately wearing it, a leather belt, and a small linen purse. They became justly alarmed, lifted the different articles, placed them in the barrow, and returned to the GOrbals Police Office, where they reported the ease. A party was immediately despatched in the direction, but were not long in falling in with some individuals who were in search of the person who was the owner of the articles. They stated that he was in the habit of regu larly hawking herrings through Govan, Renfrew, and neighbourhood; but that on his return home, a short time ago, he had been robbed of 21. It is supposed, from the quantity of herrings lie took with hint on Saturday, he would be possessed of nearly the same sum of money, and that he had been attacked by the same ruffians, who, after having overcome him, had thrown him into the river. Ile resided in Rutherglen Loan, Gorbals. He is described to have been a stout man, about 32 years of age, and not given to drink. So soon as the Procurator Fis cal, Mr. Siumow, heard of the case, he repaired to the Gorbals Police Office, where he had a conference with the poor man's disconsolate wife and other two individuals. Enquiry has been set nn foot ; and it is to be hoped seine light will soon be thrown on this mysterious atrair. It is understood that two individuals, whose names are known, had more than once threatened the life of the herring. mai n;— Glasgow Chronicle of Monday. to 2Si. LONDON, FRIDAY EVE.' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A countryman, named Samuel Bucher, a servant of Mr. S. Haw, a farmer, residing at Sydenham, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, by his mae ter, to account for the proceeds of a load of hay. The farmer sent the prisoner to market with a quantity of hay to sell. On his return he stated that he had sold a load and a half of it, and he pre sented him (the farmer) with a letter, which he said contained the payment. On opening it the farmer was " nation angry" at finding only three pennyworth of halfpence, and . an illegible scrawl. The account the man gave of it was, that he was paid for one load only ; that the other half-load was not paid for by the customer, and that a man came after him (the servant), and on London•bridge said he was sent by the customer with the money for the whole, and a request that the four sovereigns should be returned. The man gave the sovereigns, and took what he conceived the , full amount iii exchange. The lamer could not credit the prisoner's story, as he was always boasting about his " cuteness," so he brought him before the Lord Mayor to account . for himself. No such messenger was known by the customer. • The prisoner persisted in his story, and his an swers were satisfactory to all those present. The pOlice stated that not a week passed during which two or three of the countrymen who brought hay to Whitechapcl•market were not cheated out of their money. Forrester the younger asked the prisoner whether some man or other had not got into a long coni•ersation with him about his hay ? Prisoner—Whoi 'ees. And you told him every thing he asked you ? Prisoner—Whoi I thought mayhap he'd be a cus tomer. The LORD MAYOR—My good man, you must never come into London without thinking that every man you meet or see, whom you don't know, is a rogue. I would recommend you, farmer, to take this man back, but you should trust one mere acute with your property ; but by way of sharpening his intellects, you should make him work out the lo,s. The farmer consented, and the man was discharged. A man named John Hunt, the driver of a hack ney•coach, was charged with having committed a furious assault on Mr. John Bilwars, of Hounslow. The man begged pardon, and the prosecutor asked the Lord Mayor to permit this atonement. The LORD MAYOR consented, with great reluc tance, as regards the man. His Lordship had seen a letter in the Times of that day, cornpktining of the nuisance occasioned by the collection of people before a print-shop at the corner of Wood-street. His attention had before been drawn to the:subject, as Alderman of the Ward, and he now directed that special attention should be given to abate the nuisance. GUILDHALL THE ANEITIIIAN BALL Rooms.—Yesterday Mr. Henry Gough, a young gentleman, the respectability of whose appearance was materially detracted from by a large white bandage encircling his head and to tally concealing his left eye, was charged before Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN with assaulting a son of Nep tune, and ejecting him vi et armis from the Anei thian ball-room, Holborn-bars, between one and two o'clock yesterday morning. Henry Cox, the complainant, stated, that abotit half-past ten on Wednesday night he went to the ball-room, accompanied by a brother and a friend.— A man at the door informed them that they would not be admitted without a ticket, and accordingly they purchased one from him, for which they paid him three shillings. This ticket was issued in the name of " Wheeler," and purported to be an ad mission to his " grand monthly dress ball." On entering the room the party received a second card, issued in the name of " Way," and were intro duced into a crowd of men, women, and children. When quitting the scene of midnight mirth, and de manding their hats, which they had been disencum bered of on their entrance for the moderate charge of 6d. each, they were required by Mr. Wheeler to stay for coffee, or, if they preferred going away, to pay 2s. for the same. The tar demurred to pay for what he did not, or would not, drink, when Mr. H. Gough " turned all hands out," and laying hold of Cox by the collar, the male part of the company pushing Gough forward, he pushing Cox, and the ladies throwing themselves in the rear as a make-weight, the three were fairly bundled into the street. The tar swore positively that in their progress to the front door, Gough struck him, and having made a statement to that effect at the watch-house, the night-constable, aided by a serjeant of the metropo litan police, entered the room and took the prisoner into custody. " Was it j in the' bundling out,'" asked the Alder man, " that the prisoner received the black eye ?" " I dare say it was," replied the tar. "It was given by one of his own friends. No doubt it was intended for me, but I am just as well pleased that he got it." " Neither you nor your friends," said the Alder man, "appear attired suitably to a grand dress ball." " Oh, as to the matter of that," rejoined the complainant, " they were all a queer crew; some had frocks, sonic black neckcloths, and my brother here had boots on him." " And how were the ladies done up ?" asked the Alderman.—" Pretty well rigged out. Some on 'em hung out long feathers," replied the tar. " You drank nothing in the room (luring the night which could make you intoxicated ?"—" Why, yes; they had wine; negus, I think, they called it; but I'd rather drain a barrel after a three months' voyage. Sad stuff, I assure your Honour, and nothing like what would make me drunk." Edwin Cox corroborated his brother's statement " The card," observed the Alderman, " states that a grand quadrille band' will be in attendance. Was that so ?"—" There were three musicians," replied the witness. " A grand quadrille band, indeed !" exclaimed the Alderman. The police-serjeant stood forward to give his evi dence, but the scene of the ball-room had caught such hold of his imagination that be found it ut terly impossible to command his risible muscles. He stated that when he went up stairs the scene beggared description—the ladies fainting, children screaming, bottles of sal volatile and burnt feather, every thing in requisition to compose the shattered nerves of the dear creatures. The Alderman—What was the appearance of the ladies ?—The watchman stated that one of the ladies, a tall dishing female, he knew to be a street walker. He added, that the ball-room had been formerly a place of religious worship. The Alderman ordered the prisoner to find bail for the assault, and directed the complainant to carry the charge to the Sessions. Mr. Wheeler was accepted as surety for the pri soner's appearance. BOW-STREET. Mr. William Tyrrell, the landlord of the public house known by the sign of the Plough, in Carey street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, appeared before G R. MINSSIULL and THOMAS HALLS, Esqrs., yesterday, to answer to an information which h a d - been laid against him by Inspector Preece, for having allowed gambling in his house. A police-sergeant and constable stated that their attention was directed to the house by a gentleman who happened to be passing, and on go i ng to the ING, NOVEMBER 13, 1829. door they heard a number of voices betting on some game or other that was going on within. Mr. MlNsutru, asked in what manner did the betting seemed to be carried on ? , The witnesses answered, that some cried out two to one, and others five to four, and soon. The landlord admitted that his customers were in the habit of playing cards for drink, but he denied that betting was ever allowed. His house was the resort of- Cornish men, and he could prove that it was as orderly a house as any in London. • A number of respectable tradesmen, who' fre quent the house, gave it an excellent character for good rule and order. The officers said they knew nothing against the house of their own knowledge, otherwise than they had stated. Mr. MlNsnum observed that the officers had aped in the most praiseworthy and impartial man ner. No offence, however, had been made out, and he should therefore allow the information to be withdrawn, which was done accordingly. MA RLBOROU (;H-STREET. The following case has undergone several inves tigations at this office within the last'three weeks, but we have hitherto purposely refrained from giving publicity to any of the proceedings. A Mr. Hewitson, a dealer in pictures, residing at West.square, Lambeth, is, it seems, the consignee in London of a picture-exporting firm, called Mainiffe and Co., established at Brussels, and in pursuance of his consigneeship, Mr. Hewitson some time ago received a large collection of paintings for sale in this country, from his consignors at Brussels. Not finding London a very ready market, Mr. Hewitson betook him to a country town, with his goods, and , took with him, as his travelling companion and assist ant, a Yorkshire gentleman (Mr. Hewitson himself being also a native of the sister isle), a Mr. William Kemp. They travelled about to various places,— Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, Gloucester, &c.—dis posing here and there, of us many of the collection ! as they could get purchasers for, until they at lest brought themselves up at Southampton with a great load of pie! ures still unsold, and those that were d s posed of yielding what is called a " losing profit," that is, not quite covering the expenses. Under • these circumstances, Mr. Hewitson came up himself to London, leaving Mr. William Kemp in possession of some fifty or sixty picturesat Southampton; bat soon after his arrival in town he wrote to Mr. Kemp saying, that as there was uo probability of a sale at Southampton of the pictures, he wished them to be forthwith forwarded to London again. Mr. K. immediately obeyed his instructions, and having neatly packed up the pictures in four cases, sent them per waggon to a waggon-office in the City called Gerrard's-hall, directed, not to Mr. llewit son, but to Messrs. Mainiffe and Co., whose property they originally were. Mr. Kemp himself also came up to town, and on the arrival of the pictures he accompanied Mr. Hewitson to Gerrard's-hall, and there shewed him the four cases in which the pictures were packed, and Mr. Hewitson gave directions at the office to take care of the pictures until he should send for them in three or four (lays. Before he did send for them, however, Mr. Kemp, it appeared, went again alone to the waggon-office, and present ing the card given to him at the corresponding wage • gon-office at Southampton, claimed the pictures, and they were of course delivered to him. Mr. Kemp then had the pictures removed to the house of a Mr. W. E. Malcolm, in Mason-street, Westminster road, and which Mr. Malcolm, as appeared by the evidence, engaged the carrier who brought the pic tures for Kemp to his house. At the expiration of the three or four days Mr. Hewitson went to Ger rard's-hall for the pictures ; but they were gone, and Mr. Kemp was not to be found. Mr. Hewitson, however, chanced to hear that some of the pictures in question were to be seen at the house of a Mr. Smart, a picture-dealer in Tichborne-street, Hay market, and on inquiry of Mr. Smart, it was learned , from him that Mr. Malcolm had sent the pictures there to have some money raised upon them. On this discovery Mr. Hewitson obtained a warrant at this office, and had Malcolm apprehended as a guilty receiver from Kemp, a guilty taker, who was not to be found ; but on the apprehen sion of Malcolm, the brother of the latter, an en graver residing in Warwick-street, Cuckspur-street, set off to the Isle of Wight, where he learned Kemp was, and brought him to town ; and here it is but just to state, that Kemp did not hesitate an instant about coming forward to meet the case, but set out instantly and voluntarily with Mr. Malcolm from the Isle of Wight, assuring Mr. Malcolm that the whole transaction of the picture was a mere matter of account between Mr. Hewitson and himself; and on his arrival in town he came at once before the Magistrate. , , and placed himself at the bar by the side of the prisoner Malcolm. The question now arose whether or not Kemp was a guilty taker of the pictures, because, if he was not, Malcolm could 1 not be a guilty receiver; and to settle this point a ! vast deal of discussion at each of the many examitta dons took place, and Mr. Hewitson underwent u long cross-examination by a professional gentleman who attended for the prisoners, to show that there existed a sort of partnership as to profits and ex pellees on the sale of the pictures between Kemp and Hewitson, and the latter admitted certainly that Kemp was to have one-third of the profits, anti he admitted also that Kemp had had an attorney's letter sent to him, Hewitson, with an account un settled, in which Hewitson was made to appear a considerable debtor to Kemp. But this had not been sent to him, he said, until after Malcolm was taken into custody, and he denied that there was any thing due from him to Kemp. It was urged, also, on the part of Kemp, that he had detained the pictures under the advice of his solicitor, Mr. Pinero, of Charles -street, Cavendish-square, until Hewitson should have settled his accounts, and Mr. Pinero -was called forward to prove this fact. Mr. ROE (the Magistrate) said that Mr. Pinero had better be cautious how he involved himself by any answers, as an accessory after the fact. Mr. Pinero was not in the least afraid of any suck involvement, for he had merely given his pro fessional opinion, which he had a right to do, on the representation made to him by his client, and he had no objection whatever to state the advice he had given ; and that was, if there was an unsettled account between the parties, that Kemp should keep the pictures until his claim was satisfied. In the end Mr. ROE (with whom was Mr. HENRY DYER, jun.) committed both prisoners for trial on those charges, and peremptorily refused an applica tion to admit either to bail. The prisoners are very respec!able-loolting young men, and their connexions are said to be also re spectable. iVilliunt James, fames Skelton, and Richard Price, three well-dressed young men, who have been in custody several days, charred with att em pti ng t o commit a b urg l ary at the Red Lion public-house, corner of Windmill-street, flaymarket, were brought before the Magistrate for final examination. The Magistrate, after hearing the evidence of the landlord and other witnesses, had not the slightest doubt as to the guilt of all the prisoners ; but as there was n o direct evidence to implicate Price, he should only hold him to bail as a suspicious charac ter; Skelton, as a rogue and vagabond even by his own account, being out drunk about the streets at four o'clock in the morning, he should commit for three months to the House of Correction ; and James be should send to Newgate to take his trial for the attempt at burglary. The prisoners were then all removed, pursuant to their sentences. WORSHII'-STREET. A young man named Hurst, was charged with cemmitting a criminal assault upon Ann Pratt, a pi-etty•looking girl about 15 or 16. From the girl's evidence it appeared that the prisoner had promiseq her marriage—that on Saturday night she met him by appointment, to take a walk, and accompanied him to a public-house, were she dank some wine, which he pressed upon her, and became tipsy. On leaving the house he took her as far as Temple-bar, -where he pushed her into a house, kept her there all _n'ght, and auomplished his purpose against her will. She remained till one o'clock on the following day, and on going home, told her aunt what had happened. • The Magistrate said it was a gross and infamous case of seduction, but there was not sufficient evi dence against the prisoner for a criminal proceeding. He was,. therefore, discharged. PRICE 7D. UNION-HALL Yesterday Mr. Roger Ruding, of Fitzroy-square, appeared before Messrs. HONE and ELYARD, on - a , peace-warrant having been issued against him at the instance of Mr. Whiting, of Claphatn. — The parties are both men of opulence. Mr. Laing, the complainant's solicitor, stated that the parties were connected by marriaze, the defend ant having married a si,:ter of his client's a short time ago. Since the alliance, however, the lady hail been compelled to institute a libel against her husband in the Ecclesiastical Courts, for alleged adultery, and while the proceedings were pending, the defendant not only excessively annoyed the lady, but had also grossly insulted, and even gone so far as to threaten the life of her brother, under whose roof she sought protection after having abandoned that of her husband. Mr. Laing added that his client was only anxious that the defendant should be held to bail, in order to restrain him from committing a breach of the peace. The complainant then proceeded to state, than on the preceding day, as he was on his way to town from Clapham, in his cabriolet, he saw the defend ant, who called after him. Being anxious to avoid him, the complainant accelerated the speed of his horse, but the defendant still continuing to call after him, he at length stopped, imagining that he was only anxious to propose some conciliatory measures relative to the dissentious that had occurred between him and his wife. The moment he drew up to the footpath, the defendant exclaimed, " Do you mean, Sir, to encourage your sister in proceeding against me to ruin my family ?" To this the complainant answered, that aq communication lie had to make upon that subject should be made through the soli citors engaged on both sides. He had scarcely uttered the words, when the defendant applied the most gross epithets to him, calling him villain, scoundrel, and a pander to his sister's prostitution. The complainant added, that ever since his sister had quitted the defendant, owing to his own mis conduct, the latter had hunted her about and an noyed her in every possible manner he could devise. She was under the necessity of going to the houses of different friends, in order to avoid the annoyance of his importunities ; and when she sought protec tion only a few days ago at his (complainant's) house, the defendant, having ascertained, by some means or another, the place of her retreat, followed her thither, and his conduct there was turbulent in the extreme, having threatened his (complainant's) life. Mr. HONE remarked, that tile language attributed to the defendant was calculated to excite a breach of the peace. The Magistrate then inquired of the defendant what he had to say in answer to the charge ?•—The defendant was entering into the causes of separation between him and his wife, upon which he was stopped by Mr. Hone, who said, I have to request, Sir, that you will merely confine yourself to the charge preferred against you, which is for using language towards the complainant cal culated to excite a breach of the peace. The defendant, looking contemptuously at the complainant, exclaimed, " There is not much dan ger of that party fighting a duel ; indeed, if he sent me a challenge to-morrow, I consider him so des picable, and so much beneath me, that I should not accept it." Mr. HONE and Mr. ELYARD concurred in the ne cessity of compelling the defendant to find bail to keep the peace, two sureties of 1001. each, and him self in 2001., towards Mr. Whiting. The defendant, having procured the required sureties, then left the office with his friends. TIFLIS. The local advantages of Tiflis will, at no great distance of time, render it another Ormus, a new Pal►nyra—a second Alexandria. It will be the great emporium of the East and West, the cent! e by which the commerce of Europe and Asia is to be carried on hereafter. Tiflis is about a hundred leagues distant from the Black and Caspian Seas, and can at all times main tain with them a quick and easy communication, free from danger, and subject to little expense. In times of peace, ships from the Phasis, if laden with the produce of Asia and Southern Russia, may display their flags in the ports of America, and compete with vessels from European ports, however advan tageously situated. By the Caspian Sea, the exclusive maritime do main of Russia, vessels laden with the manufac tures of Europe can go in 36 hours from Balton to the coast of Ghilan, of Mazanderan, of Asterabad, or to the Gulf of Balkan (on the east side of the Caspian Sea.) Thus the merchants of Tiflis may embrace, with their vast combinations, all Af ghanistan, Bokharia, Cashmere, and Thibet, and restore the old commercial road, by which the mer chandise of Chen•i, the most western province of China, arrived in 80 or 100 days at the banks of the Oxus, or in 200 days at the shores of the Caspian Sea. And, least this should be called a wild speculation, I will call the attention to the route of 2,000 leagues, by which the Cloths of Silesia arrive at Kiakhta, on the frontiers of China. These cloths can afford to pay a duty of eight per cent. on their entrance into Russia, because -the costs of carriage through that country and in Asia are little or nothing, the animals finding unlimited pasturage wherever the caravan stops. The profit of these speculations is such, that they have succeeded one another, uninterruptedly, since 1818, and amount sometimes to 15,000 pieces of cloth per year, value 4,500,000 francs-180,0001. sterling.--Foreign Quarterly Review, p. 580. It was on Wednesday announced to the Cor poration, that Mr. BOLLAND had been made a Baron of the Exchequer, and that he had alienated his place as one of the four City Pleaders to a sou of Mr. GvaNE - IG the King's Counsel. There is now in the Maison de Santo, at Rouen, a patient, who fully impressed with the belief that be was killed at the battle of Austerlitz; at which he was, in fact, present, and received a wound, If his health is inquired after, he answers, " You are asking atter M. LAMBERT; but AI. LAMBERT is no more : he was killed by a cannon-ball. 1 know aim, which you see bears some resemblance to him ; but it is by no moans a good like ness. I wish you would construct a better." lie falls occasionally into at state of insensibility, which sometimes lasts for several days, during which tie application of bl s tets, pinches, and eve❑ pricking him with a pin, appears to give him uo kind of uneasiness, Some time during the last session of Parlia-, ment a return was ordered, in consequence of the motion al Mr. Protheroe, of the different courts and other authorities in the country em powered to grant probates of wills. That a re gistry of wills is necessary no one can doubt, and that every measure of security should he adopted for the preservation of them, and every faCility afforded to the inquirer, seems equally evident. From an examination of the report, and a practical knowledge of the system, it is however, no less evident that the latter objects are far from being accomplished. In many cases there is considerable difficulty in getting at them, and in all cases the object is only to be attained at great expellee. Of course, Ido not speak of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, inasmuch as all wills are there easily obtained through the medium of Is. and an alphabetical index for the year; although, as far as regards the poorer inquirer, to whom the facilities ought to be greater, the hand in which they are tran scribed must be . nearly as illegible as Greek or Hebrew; and then another is. is required, in order that he may be made.'to understand it. A slight survey of the different courts iu the kingdom will serve to convince any one of their insecurity and their inconvenience. Let us take a few, by the way of example. In the see of Bath and Wells, one court keeps its records room "at the outer entrance- of the palace," '*thither a room . beltmging to and adjoining to the house of a late deputy registrar," a third in a room " at Taunton, and a fourth in a room " over the cloisters."— In Bristol some wills are in the Cathedral, some at Blandford, and others at Wiaiborne. In Chichester we find them not only in a pri vate dwelling-house in that city, but at Lewes and at Battel. In St. David's they are to be met with at Haverfordwest and Brecon. In Ely at no less than five different courts. In Exeter the scope for inquiry ranges from Exeter - to Totness, from Totness to Bodmin, from Bodmin to Barnstaple, and from Barnstaple to Penzance. To have a better idea of this disjointed system, take the following case :—A person writes to Exeter for the will of a man who has died within the limits of the Archdeacoury of Corn wall ; a letter comes back informing him that he must write to the registrar at Boumin. The registrar at Bodmin writes that the will is •not there, by reason of the Bishop's inhibition (a periodical suspension of the lesser powers), and he then re-writes to Exeter. All this is frivolous, vexatious, and absurd. To proceed : in Gloucester they are kept in an insecure build ing, and the Dean and Chapter have nut (as the return testifies) yet been brought to allow a more secure place to be provided ! In Lich field, we are sent sometimes to Bridgenorth, at others to Shrewsbury and Ellesmere, and even to the Peak of Derbyshire. York is eminently fertile in the abuses of peculiars and manorial courts—but it is useless to swell the list. One diocese telleth another, and the evil will be best explained by referring to the report. One hypothetical instance more will suffice. A person wishing to obtain the will of a man who died at Thatne, in Oxfordshire, naturally writes to Oxford ; from Oxford he is referred to Lincoln, and from Lincoln to Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire, that place being a - peculiar in the deanery of Lincoln ! To give a still better idea of the peculiarities of some of these said peculiars, the following note, relating to that of Corsham, in Wilts, occurs in the report ;••,- 4 ' The vicar is now abroad, but is expected home shortly : no wills can be proved, in his absence !" First, then, the keeping of wills over porches and cloisters in cathedrals is bad, because they are exposed to damp, and are therefore insecure. Secondly, the keeping them in private dwellings is bad, because they may be lost or destroyed, and are therefore insecure. In stating this, no charges are brought against any individuals for neglect—it is the fault of the system, and should be corrected. Nevertheless, it is a notorious fact to all who have been engaged such re. searches, that many wills of no very ancient date have, through the insecurity of their situation, become totally illegible, or been reduced to a, mass of powder, and that many, mentioned in the indexes, are not to be found. The registry of wills in the different dioceses is generally in tended as a facility for the poorer classes ; and in order to proportion the expellees raNsordingly, they are called upon to pay ss. Gd. for a search which the wealthier citizen can make at Doctors'- commons for Is. This is bad—unjust as far as regards the poorer inquirer, who is made to pay such a sum,—injurious as far as regards the interests of all whose property may depend upon the issue of a search, and voseatious to the antiquarian, who may find all his labours lost in a cloud of pulverized parchment, which simultaneously blinds his eyes and stifles his inquiries. The remedies (better late than never) which may be suggested, are— first, that all wills, now to be found in the dif. ferent dioceses, whether kept by the bishov or the steward of a manor, should be transcribed witleproper, alphabetical indexes, and forwarded to the registry office in London, or to some other room chosen for the purpose, and to be open to public inspection on. the same terms as those now in the Prerogative: Court ; secondly, that an alphabetical index be likewiao kept at the different registry offices in the counties, or at the Episcopal registry office in each diocese, and that care be taken to put the wills themselves into a proper place of security, either in the off i ce or in the vestry ; and lastly, that from henceforth, transcripts of all wills be sent annu ally to the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. As a quest= of expense, when we are engage d i n building palaces, bridges, arc h es , an d P offices, it would be perf eer ly con tempti'aie to o o s p t- - pose such a proposition ; an d, as a Question of difficulty, should it be d eeme d i mpractica bl e (not that obtain transcripts of every will th roug h out the kingdom,no that it is admitted by - a ny room ) l a o t d a g l e l d e v i e n n t i s 4e in i te :r eN: ga ni ti i v g e h c t o b u e rt. macle The o longer and we wait the worse will the evil became, and in point of mere utility the transcribing of the tes tamentary evidence in the different dioceses, on which the fate of much property may depend, would lie far greater than the printing the In quzditio»es Post-mortem, and the many other public records which Parliament has proceeded in a most praiseworthy manner to rescue from destruction, The evil of these petty jurisdictions is palpable, and the remedy plain. It is to be hoped that Parliament will do something. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.— On Tuesday evening as a child of Mr. Fixer, baker, in the High street, was reaching a bird from the mantel-piece, her foot slipoed, and her clothes taking fire, she was immedi:lttly enveloped in flames.
