The CHAIRMAN said the time had arrived when it was his duty to state that he should decline putting any other question to the meeting than whether a rate should be granted or not.—(Hear, and cries of " adjourn.") If the meeting had the power of adjourning the meeting for 12 months, they would deprive the Churchwardens of calling any other meeting, or proposing any other rate during that period. He had obtained legal advice, and should decline to put the question of adjournment.—(Uproar.) Ho would now put the original question that a rate of 2d. in the pound be granted.

Persons advanced in years are prone to taciturnity ; and it is to this circumstance that the diseases of the lungs, which so often carry them off, are in a great measure to be ascribed. The lungs need exercise as well as the muscles ; and by reading aloud, by singing, and conversation, they may be preserved in a state of health. The advanced age of scho . olmaste rs , and other public speakers, may perhaps be attributed to the exercise given to their lungs. Hence the importance to the aged of preserving an erect posture, to give their lungs full play.—Curtis on Health. The distinguished French composer, M. Leseur, died on Friday, at Paris, aged 73.

(From the Brighton Guardian.) Some few weeks ago we published an extract, affecting the Sussex newspapers, from the Newspaper Stamp Returns made to the House of Commons in obedience to its order dated 30th June last ; and in so doing, we limited our extract to the first five months of the half year which the return covered, and we did so for two reasons,—first, because the limited extract so made presented the true state, as near as might be without being precise, of the relative circulation of the papers,— secondly because we did not desire to accompany th e publica tion by explanatory remarks, disturbing the simplicity of the return. Within the last few days however the return from which we obtained an extract has been printed and circulated; and wo therefore, to prevent the public from being abused by attempts which will be made to impose upon it by fallacious numbers, now give the six months' return, with such remarks as we think necessary to give Advertisers a full understanding of the matter. The full return, then, is as follows Return of the Number of Stamps issued by the Stamp Office, for all Newspapers in Great Britain and Ireland, from Ist January, 1837, to 30th June, both days inclusive, specifying *soh Newspaper by name, and the Number of Stamps issued each mouth during that period to each Newspaper.

This is a compli ment to which we are not insensible r anti •as the Guardian was the first to introduce a full-sized newspaper into Sussex, and to lead the way in the improvements which have taken place in the county in the getting-up of newspapers generally, so we can assure the public, that none of its energies will be relaxed by the marked favour with which the exertions of its conductors have been honoured. But we dare say that some interested parties will be found to take exception to the annual computation we have made. Nay, we have already seen a deception attempted upon the public by parties who claim for our Tory Cotemporary a yearly circulation of 70,000 ; and to expose this cunning fraud upon the advertising public is our present purpose. The de ceivers say—that 35,000 stamps have been issued to the Tory journal in the six months between the Ist of January and SOth of June, that twice 35 is 70, and consequently that the cir culation of the Brighton Gazette is 70,000 in the year. Now this seems very plausible ; but when the hocus pocus is ex plained, it will be found to be as incorrect as the idea that " twice one and twenty and twice twenty-one" are one and the same thing. A moment's attentive observation of the above return will satisfy every observer that the circulation of the Brighton Gazette does not exceed 5,000 per calendar month ; for it will be sees that although 10,000 stamps with its instinctive die were issued in February, not a single stamp was issued for it in tl'e month of April ; whence it is clear that the 20,000 issued to it is the first threp months of the year sufficed for its four months circulation, because till the fifth month has com menced, no fresh issue was made on its account ; and we are strongly inclined to believe, for reasons which we will pre sently give, that part of the first three months' issue from the Stamp Office remained to supply at least the first week of the fifth month. But taking the issue as the bona fide CONSUMP TION, it is clear beyond dispute that only 20,000 were used in four months by the Brighton Gazette, and that another 5,000 issued in May supplied its wants in that month. If then not more than 20,000 could be got rid of in four months, and the next 5 000 answered all the calls for newspapers in May, can any body doubt that the 10,000 issued in June was the supply for two months 9 In computing therefore the annual con sumption of the Brighton. Gazette, the advertising public will see the necessity of dividing the June supply between the months of Jun. and July; and in that case it will be, as we have correctly stated it, 60,000, or 4,000 below the Brighton Guardian. - But we are not sure that it is entitled to be ranked so high. We have already shewn, taking for granted that it consumed month by month the stamps issued for its Use, that in four months it could only have circulated More than 20,000 copies; but for reasons which we will now state, we are strongly in clined to believe that it had not circulated the whole of the 4 0,000 in the four mouths, and that enough remained to work off its first publication in May. The lit of May this year fell on the Monday, so that the 41,000 stamps issued with its in stinctive die in that month could not have reached Brighton till the 2nd. Now all persons connected with printing are aware that paper before it is used for printing newspapers requires to be well soaked in water for a ♦ery long time; and we believe it is the inveridble practice of our Tory contempo rary to wet down his stamps on the Monday, which is none too soon. It follows, as a matter of course, that stamps sot issued from the head office in London till the Monday could not be soaking in water in Brighton on the same day ; and as a further necessary censequeece, that the first publication of the Brighton Gazette in May, namely Thursday the 4th, was supplied from the stock-in-hand issued from the Stamp Office in the previous March ! There is still another reason for supposing this to be tae case. Independently of the time being insufficient between Tuesday morning and 'Wednesday afternoon, when the Brigh ton Gazette goes to press, for the paper to soak properly, no newspaper proprietor since the institution of the instinctive die, would risk the penalty of printing on unstamped paper, by delaying till the 2d of the month the receipt of the stamps which he requires for use in the afternoon of the Ed ; and we are therefore confirmed in the opinion, in which we have no doubt all thinking persons will join, that in settling the circu lation of the Brighton Gazette at 20,000 for the first four months of the present year, we are ranking it higher than the absolute fact justifies. Supposing that it had only stamps enough left from its March supply for its issue in the first week in May, and allowing—which, when we see such tricks are played, is scarcely justifiable—that it did consume the whole of the 20,000 in the eighteen publications which, including the 4th May, it has made since the commencement of the year, we find that its actual annual circulation will be decreased to something less than 55,000, leaving it 6,000 in the rear of the Guardian, though it is its senior by six years. What the motive of the proprietors of the Brighton Gazette was in ordering a supply of 5,000 in March, when it is mani fest that they had the greater portion of their February supply on head, we shall leave others to decide ; we will only state the fact that a Tory Membe•, who has since been kicked out of the House of Commons by his constituency, moved early in April for newspaper returns; but by some mistake the order of the House was limited to the Metropolitan Press. Had the provincial issue been given at the same time, our Tory Contemporary would have been decked in the borrowed plumes of having bad 20,000 stamps in three months ; whence an an nual computation of 50,000 would have been trumpeted to the world—with what honesty and approach to truth we leave the public to declare. Whether our Tory Contemporary received any intimation from the Tory ex , Member for Belfast, we know not; but it does seem curious that the consumption of April should hare been anticipated by the issues in February and March ; and we fear, when the public come to remark that the same manoeuvre is repeated in June, without the shadow of pretext, that it will be of opinion that something like a settled design existed to act net only dishonestly to wards the public, but to take a mean and dastardly advantage of contemporaries whom these Tories dare not encounter on even terms, and saying little for the honesty of their profes sions of attachment to that holy Religion which inculcates principles of rectitude aid honest dealing towards one's neigh bour. The same remarks apply to the young Brighton paper. Its first two issues lasted it four months, and 3,000 met all its little wants in the fifth, Its last issue was clearly meant to cover two months' demand. Besides the journals eaumerated in the above extract, there is a thing got up and concocted between the Carlton Club manufactory for country newspapers and certain Tories at Lewes, which clamours to be included among the Sussex newspapers, —a distinction, which, when we recollect its am phibious character, if we may so apply the term, we cannot award to it. But it is Tory all over ;it is redolent of the peculi ar h onesty an d a dh erence to trut h which has time out of mind characterised that political party. The thing is sent down from London, as the cook says, " done on one side," after it has supplied some half dozen or more things of the same genus ; and at Lewes it is then finished off. This offshoot of the Carlton Club was first darted into this county on the 4th of February in the present year, and the gentlemen who blow the trumpet at this end of the line would fain persuade the world that it has already outstripped the Brighton Gazette, its like in politics, but its vast superior in every other attribute that ennobles a newspaper. They would fain have the world believe that the Tories of Sussex, for getting the services rendered to their cause by the Brighton Gazette for the last sixteen years, have set it aside in favour of a thing which, when compared with that Gazette as a medium of county intelligence .and as evincing the talent of its conductors, is contemptible in the extreme. We cannot think so meanly of jhe Tories; they are prover * The Guardian is supplied irl parcels of 4,000 each. t The Gazette in parcels of .5,000 each, Most of the permanent charges to which the undertaking is sub ject, having been fixed under an expectation that the whole line would be simultaneously in operation--and, under the feeling that all possible ecenomy should be exercised—the directors have ear nestly applied themselves to the subject of retrenchment, have re duced several branches of expenditure, and propose to relinquish a moiety of the compensation, so liberally voted for their services at the first general meeting.

Soft fell the dew, and mild was the morn, That lovelily opened, that wakened the dawn ; Soft fell the dew in its exquisite sheen, Real love might be pictur'd, true bliss might be seen. I have seen that dew fall, I have seen that mcrn break, And the sun all resplendent in glory awake ; That sun cast a shadow, but the shade when I met I found was enrivailed by Warren's Black Jet. That Blacking has beauty I thought not to view, Till in my bright boots I my face could review: A splendour unrivalled my boots now assume, Since polished by Warren's,—by Warren's Jet Bloom. This Easy-shining and Brilliant Blacking prepared by ROBERT W A RItEN, 31', Strand, London ; and sold in every Town is ke United Kingdom. Liquid, in Bottles, and Paste Blacking, in Pets, at tid., 12,1., and 18d. each. Il Be particular to inquire for Warren's, 30, Strand; all others are Counterfeit. Nally good masters, and would not treat our contemporary of the Brighton Gazette with so much ingratitude as to set his tried advocacy aside for a thing of yesterday's growth. Upon the advertising public the parties will not, we are sure, im pose, for they, like ourselves, will be sceptical in believing that a new publication in any part of England would at starting outstrip a contemporary of its own political creed not deficient in industry and zeal, while its own pretensions are of a deci dedly inferior character. The thing is too preposterous for a moment's serious consideration, and whatever the hocus pocus of the unscrupulous Carlton Club may with its ample funds be able to accomplish, no man who knows anything of active life and of the county of Sussex will believe that half the papers taken out by the Carlton Club party for the Sussex edition of their paper ever comes into the county, or if they do, that they are not sent back again to furnish the trunk-makers of the metropolis, or applied to the more ignoble purpose of supply ing the domestic wants of the Conservative gang. We have said above that the thing is Tory all over; of this we will give one specimen, and with that conclude : It professes to give the extent of its circulation ; and stat ing the number of stamps issued to it in the five months end ing 30th June, adds, " the 2,000 taken out in January for No. 1, published 4th Feb., and consequently are added to the total ;" and accordingly the 2,000 are added to the full amount of stamps issued in the five months and represented as the consumption of that period. But with true Tory honesty, the parties forget to remind those upon whom they seek to impose that as their first publicatiOn for July (on the Ist), was printed in London on the 30th of June, a deduction should be made from that month's issue to the extent of the Ist of July's consumption. Honesty is not however the Tory's policy, and we see it verified in this instance ; for while the parties in this case make no allowance for the stamps used by them in July, they elaim to crowd into the February issue the previous month's 2,000, thus producing an exaggerated and false result.

QUEEN ANNE'S VISIT TO THE CITY OF LONDON ON LORD MAYOR'S DAY, 1702. The following notice is compiled from a scarce tract, " The Triumphs of London," 1702, and the various news papers of that period : On the first Lord Mayor's day in her reign Queen Anne honoured the citizens with her presence. Her Majesty came into the City about two p.m., in a purple coach, drawn by eight curious horses, the harnesses of which were all purple and white ; the Countess of Marlborough and another lady sitting backwards. A numerous train of coaches followed, with her Majesties Ladies and Maids of Honour, the Lords of the Privy Council, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Judges, and several other Noblemen. A lane was made for them at Temple-bar by the militia of Westminster, and from thence to Ludgate by the City Trained Bands, and so to Guildhall by the Com panies of the several Liveries of the City. All the hal conies were hung with rich tapestry. As her Majesty passed by St. Paul's a great number of children belonging to the several workhouses were placed on scaffolds, and one of them made a speech to her Ma jesty, as did also one of the boys of Christ Hospital. The Lord Mayor, on returning to Blackfrias stairs, was, at his landing, saluted by the Artillery company. in buff, and silver bead-pieces ; and also by St. Martin, a hero and. champion of the Church, and the patron of the Company of Vintners, represented by a person in rich armour, cap-a pee, mounted on a stately white steed, richly plumed and caparisoned. The Saint wore a large mantle, or scarf of scarlet, and was followed by several cripples and beggars supplicating for his charity. Before him danced twenty satyrs, with tambours ; two persons in rich liveries walked by his horse's side'; the balberdiers with rural music went before him ; and ten Roman lictors in silver head-pieces, with axes and fasces, marched before the company until they reached the wide part of St. Paul's, where the Saint addressed the Lord Mayor, having first satisfied the beg gars with portions of his scarf and the following lines : " Cease, cease your mournful cries, and to relieve Your wants take this--'tis all I have to give." The first pageant was the Indian galleon, a bark rowed by Bacchanals, and containing the God of Wine ; the second was the chariot of Ariadne, the mistress of Bacchus ; the third the Temple of St. Martin, formed by eight pillars of the composite order, and containing figures of St. Martin and the cripple, and the saint's peculiar virtues—Charity, Liberality, and Magnificence ; the fourth pageant was called the Vintage, but, represented a tavern entertainment ; the fifth, the Arbour of Delight, a fountain running with wine, with Silenus and Satyrs. Her Majesty was pleased in a balcony from Cheapside to see the cavalcade ; the Lord Mayor and Aldermen as they passed by paid their obeisance to her. She was then conducted by the two Sheriffs to Guildhall, where the Lord Mayor surrendered to her the sword, which being returned, his Lordship carried it before her Majesty to the apartments appointed for her reception, and afterwards to the table wbere she was pleased to dine. Several ladies of the greatest quality had the honour to dine with the Queen at the same table. His Royal Highness (Prince George of Denmark) being that day somewhat indisposed, was not present, as otherwise he intended to be. Her Majesty conferred the honour of knighthood upon Gilbert Heathcote, Esq., Alderman ; Francis Dashwood, James Eyton, and Richard Hoare, Esqrs. In the evening her Majesty returned to Whitehall with the same state she came ; the streets were again lined with train bands, and the houses were illuminated. The Prince Naryshken, the Grand Chamberlain to the Emperor of Russia, is, as we before stated, one of the richest subjects in Europe. His property lies in the Ural mountains, on the borders of Tartary, producing the richest iron ore in the world. On the 7th of October the Belgian Minister of Fi nance introduced a Bill into the Chamber of Representa tives for reducing to four centimes the stamp duty on news papers of all dimensions, Pease. 8. V, p. 38 - 34 36 32 34 - 40 COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business CHANGES APPREHENDED FROM THE CITY MUNICIPAL BILL. Mr. W. PRITCHARD presented a petition from the attor neys of the Lord Mayor's Court, praying that compensa tion might be granted to the petitioners who had purchased their places, and had the right of alienation in the event of passing a Municipal Bill, by which their emoluments would be affected. He moved that the petition be referred to the Committee. Mr. JONES moved, as an amendment, that the petition should be laid on the table. Mr. HEPPE'''. seconded the amendment. Sir P. LAURIE said it was impossible for the Court to think of entertaining the petition. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. Mr. KING presented a petition from the Printers' Pen s'on Society, praying that pecuniary assistance might be granted to them by the Court in the adverse condition of their circumstances. He moved that it should- be referred to the coal, corn, and finance committee. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. SWINDLING IN TILE CITY OF LONDON. Deputy COREY presented a petition, praying that the Court would adopt means to clear the City of London of the swindlers who were represented in the Mansion House reports as having established a very extensive system of de frauding the tradespeople.—( Hear, hear.) He stated that the petition had reference to the proceedings before the Lord Mayor on the subject of the fraudulent conduct of the tenants of a house in Cushion -court, Old Broad -street, the exposure of which had been so effectual as to put an end to the operations of the swindlers, at all events in that district.—(Cheers.) But he had a complaint to make against the City police. He considered that the blood money formerly acted upon at the other end of the metro polis was adopted in the City in another shape, for if a banker's parcel happened to be stolen they knew perfectly well where to go if a reward awaited their interference ; but their activity entirely depended upon the reward. He supposed that adequate payment was not given to the men who were appointed to protect the citizens of London, and if such were the case he should be the first to propose that sufficient remuneration should be given to them. Whatever was the cause, it was certain that the security for property which erery tradesman had a right to expect was not to be found, and he hoped that the Court would join warmly in the experiment to establish it. If the officers were not well paid they ought to be well paid, and if they were they ought to be discharged. He then moved—" That it be referred to the Committee for General Purposes to examine the allegations of the petition, with power to confer with the Aldermen thereon, and to examine into the state of the law relative to frauds and fraudulent dealings, and to report their opinion to this Court, as to whether any and what amendments can be made therein, so as to render them more efficient in the punishment of persons guilty of such offences." Alderman LUCAS seconded the motion. Sir P. LAURIE said that the Deputy had certainly done a great service to his fellow-citizens, and with an earnest ness and zeal well adapted to the occesion. It was absurd to charge the City Police with neglect.—(Hear, hear.) Let those who accused them bring forward charges of frau dulent dealing, and the Magistrates of the City would deal with them, perhaps, without allowing themselves to be tied up by the technicalities and forms of the law.—(Cheers ) In Genclusion, he hoped the Deputy would pursue the swindlers with vigour ; but he deprecated the attack upon the police altogether_ Mr. It TAYLOR agreed with Sir Peter Laurie,. drat the officers were not deserving of blame. The evil lay_ =deeper. The defect was in the law, which did not sufficiently define the offence, but left it open to a vast variety of construc tions, so that the difficulties attending the prosecution of persons who practised frauds were incalculable. The LORD MAYOR elect said that the thanks of the citizens of London were due to the Deputy for what he had done in this case. He was bounq to declare, at the same time, that his belief was that the City Police was as efficient as possible. Mr. PEWTRESS said that, in his opinion, the most effec tual way of gettioc , rid of swindlers would be to get the Le gislature to abolish imprisonment for debt. Under-Sheriff WIRE knew from his professional experi ence that it was one of the most difficult things imaginable to fix the charge of swindling upon a man. The motion was then unanimously agreed to. THE APPROACHING VISIT OF THE QUEEN. Mr. HALE (the Chairman of tho city of London School) at the desire of the Committee, rose to move that the va cant piece of ground at the top of Cheapside, should be allowed to be made use of to accommodate the scholars, who were most anxious to see their young Queen on the 9th of November.—( Hear.) After some observations from Mr. R. Taylor, Mr. Ste vens, Mr. Pewtress, and other Members, the motion was a g reed to, and it was ordered that the City of London School Committee should draw a sum not exceeding 2501. to defray the expences. Some conversation took place upon the subject of the propriety of appointing a deputation of six Common Coun cilmen to accompany the deputation of Aldermen to receive her Majesty at Temple-bar on the 9th Nov. Mr. - WOODTHORPE (the Town Clerk) mentioned the precedents of the visits of George the Third to St. Paul's, and the visit of the Prince Regent and the Continental So vereigns to Guildhall, and a motion was agreed to appoin ting such deputation. kr. JONES (the chairman of the London Bridge Com mittee), in speaking on the subject, cautioned the Court how they resolved to send six of their body to meet the Queen, as the deputation must ride on horseback.—(Laughter.) He remembered how Mr. Dixon, the late father of that Court, remonstrated with his brethren on the hazard they encountered by so bold an experiment. The story ran thus :—lt so happened that very few of the six Common Councilmen selected to ride to Temple Bar to receive George 111. could ride at all. There was, however, one who could, and he determined to make up the deficiency of the rest by hiring a very handsome white horse, which had been long accustomed to run in the Circus. The deputa tion reached Temple Bar, and his Majesty entered in state at the gate. The moment, however, the order to go for ward was given, a most unexpected -obstruction presented itself. The white horse, upon hearing the music, instead of advancing began to gallop round and round, .as if he was on duty in the Circus, amidst the shouts of the crowd, and to the surprise of the venerable King, who was at last per suaded that the vagaries of the animal and its rider consti tuted part of the City pageant.—(Great laughter.) Under-Sheriff WIRE moved that the Court agree to pe tition the House of Commons to repeal the duties on fire and life and marine assurance policies.—Agreed to. Adjourned. THE WEATHER.—SO uncommonly clear And bril liant has the moonlight been for some time back, that the workmen employed in excavating a sewer in Russell-square, have been able to continue operations throughout the greater part of the night without making use of any kind of arti ficial light. We believe the same thing takes place on se veral of the railway works, where dispatch in the construc tion of any part of the line is particularly desired. It is a remarkable fact that, at present, the weather is much more genial than it was during the early part of May, and that, in many places, vegetation is proceeding quite as rapidly now as then. Apple trees are beginning to put forth fresh blossoms, and were it not for the nipping frosts that now and then appear in the nights, many trees would present the appearance of fruit and -blossom simultaneously. The potato crop continues still in a growing condition, and while the present weather lasts, seems likely to do so. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet Giragi', from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom House at eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon. When MM. Arago and Odillon Barrot recently passed through Mayence, on their way to Germany, their attention was drawn to the statue of Guttemberg, erected at the recent fete devoted to his memory. While thus employed, they were gratifiA by the sight of a Prussian detachment, which was defiling by the statue, presenting arms, by order of their commanding officer, to-the image of the great benefactor of c ivilization. A Somersetshire squire having occasion lately to find fault with the stupidity of a servant, had recourse to the well-known adage, by telling him, " All, John, you w ill never set the Thames on . fire to which the latter in stantly replied, "God forbid, sir, - that I should ever ao any thing so .wicked !"
