DEEDS not WORDS, are the maxims of the day, and to obtain public favour it is alone necessary to deserve it. The principles of honest dealings require that the tradesman should get a profit, though a moderate one, the ARTIZAN remu nerating wages, and the PUBLIC be supplied at the lowest rate which these combined objects can effect; on this basis HENRY L. COOPER offers the character and credit of an establishment of up wards of half a century in existence, as a pledge for the fulfilment o f his engagements with hi s b es t friends and patrons--the public. To realize the professions of this brief address, H. L. solicits a view of his stock of PLATE-GLASS, CABINET, and CHAIR WORK, UPHOLSTERY, &c., at the prices required for them, and fearlessly challenges competition in the united qualities of FASHION, MATERIAL, MANUFACTURE, and COST; 93, Bishopsgate-street Within, and at his WESTERN Branch, 17, Conduit-street, Regent-street. Among the verity of articles above referred to, will be found. LOOKING-GLASSES of every denomsnation and size, varying from one foot to eighty feet and upwards ; PLATE-GLASS for windows, carriages, &c., which possess great advantages over crown, and when required for exportation, a considerable drawback obtained. _ CARVING AND GILDING. in all its branches, with an assortment of SPLENDID FRAMES for CHIMNEY, PIER, CHEVAL, and TOILET GLASSES; PAINTINGS and PRINTS mounted, framed, and re-gilt. PAPER HANGING in every decorative department, and in the first style of neatness and elegance, with a rich variety of new patterns. CABINET AND CHAIR WORK manufactured of the most seasoned materials, and for exportation, of a solidity to suit the warmest climate, and comprises in this ge neral stock every novelty lately introduced. IN THE UPHOLSTERY ARRANGEMENT the greatest attention is paid to unite elegance with economy in character for the DRAWING-ROOM, BOUDOIR, DINING ROOM, LIBRARY, and BED-CHAMBERS, from the most quiet to the most costly styles. CARPETING. _ _ _ of the best Brussels, Kidderminster, aQ Venetian qnalities, with Rugs to correspond ; also Druggets, Floor cloth, &c. HOUSE-AGENCY. A register kept at both establishments for the disposal or pro curing of every description of HOUSES, FURNISHED or UN FURNISHED, ESTATES, &c. Properties surveyed, and fixtures appraised. FUNERALS furnished and conducted with the greatest propriety, and with every consistent regard to economy. Families in the COUNTRY may command the most approved TASTE, by being waited on at HOME with PATTERNS--and DESIGNS MADE ON THE SPOT, calculated to harmonise with the plans, proportions, and decorations of the rooms ; a n d their order s d e li vere d an d fixed on terms forming a very small addi tion to the first cost by the system adopted by this concern.

Their lightness, beautiful fabric, and cleanliness (being washable) render them comfortable and easy to the wearer, while that injurious and inconvenient increase of heat which takes place under the use of other bandages is avoided. It is for these reasons they are so highly recommended by the highest surgical authorities. J.

We are enabled to give some particulars respecting the disarmament of Austria, which has been for some time said to be carrying on upon a large scale. This disarmament is not general, but is confined to one or two corps of the army in Italy, and is connected with a promise that Ancona shall be evacuated by the French troops early in the spring. The Austrian army retains its full complement on the Swiss frontier, as well as the Prussian and German armies in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. The whole reduction of the Austrian army will amount to 60,000 men, and the total of the Prussian soldiers about to be discharged will not, it is said, exceed 30,000 ; and from the admirable system upon which the reserves are placed, this amount may be recalled to the respective regiments at any time within 20 days. A necessity for economy is the only motive for these reductions, which are not sufficient to constitute a real disarmament. The Austrian and Prussian Ambassa dors communicated an official account of these reductions to Admiral de Rigny five days ago, inviting France to fol low this proof of confidence anisincerity. It was replied that France would follow the example as far as it was pos sible ; but it was, at the same time, intimated that she could not conceal from the two Powers that the state of the public mind at home would not admit of too great a dimi nution of her military force, which was always indispensable after the severe shocks of a Revolution. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance, dated yes- terday, nominating Baron Desmousseaux de Givre, Master of Requests in the Department of Foreign Affairs, to be the King's Commissary on the discussion of the bill relat ing to the American claims, presented to the Chamber of Deputies on Jan. .5. ( From Galignani's Messenger, second edition.) M. Bourqueney, one of the editors of the Journal des Debats, is appointed Chief Secretary to the Embassy at London, in the room of M. de Bacourt, and will accom pany General Sebastiani. A letter from Rheims says—" A report is current here, that in the night of Thursday last Cardinal de Latil, Arch bishop of Rheims, and late Confessor to Charles X., ar rived secretly at the Archiepiscopal Palace, where he re mains incognito, to ascertain the effect his return will have on the inhabitants, before he appears in public." . Lord Brougham arrived at Brussels on Sunday night, and alighted at the Hotel de Bellevue. The Journal de Geneve announces that the early convo cation of an extraordinary Diet is talked of. Letters of the sth instant from Toulon announce that on the preceding day the men in the yards began to be ac tively employed in getting ready a sufficient number of transports for conveying to Africa 2,000 men and eighty officers, two-thirds of whom are to be landed at Algiers, and the remaining third at Oran. It is said to be in con templation to take forcible possession of Belida, and, on the other hand, compel Abdel Kader to pay tribute to France for the protection she affords him. It was reported to-day that the Government had already named the civil and military authorities, who are to command at Belida. The departure of the troops is fixed for the Ist of March. The Garde National of Marseilles, of the sth instant, announces the arrival of the brig Eugene, Capt. Henne quin, and the brig Eliza, Captain Cloitre, from Girgenti in Sicily, " whence, after having been detained nineteen days under quarantine, they were driven—in violation of all the rights of humanity, and the usages of civilized go-• vernments,—without even being permitted to put on shore the Guard of Health, that had been stationed on board of them." (From the Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the 7th.) We have received the following intelligence from Sara gossa :—" The inhabitants of Alfamen having learned that the remains of the rebels had penetrated into their terri tory, and not being in possession of the necessary arms to pursue them, lost no time in enrolling themselves in the Urban Militia. In that village, the population of which consists only of about 100, as many as 50 were enrolled. Among them were noticed all the members of the munici pality and the cure of the parish." The Captain-General of New Castile has sent word that, according to the report of the commandant of a moveable column, Villalobos's band was surprised on the night of the 28th of January last by Colonel Albuin. The Christinos took possession of 33 horses and some arms. The rebels bad three killed and three wounded. The following news, to the 4th, has been sent us from the frontier : " Three or four days ago two very serious affairs have occurred near Bergara, between the column of Pastor and a numerous body of Carlists, who, according to reports, were commanded by Zumalacarregui. They fought for two days. On the first Pastor was victorious, but on the next, after experiencing considerable losses, he was forced to retreat, and was pursued as far as Yillafranca. A part of the convoy of the Christinos was canned off. This affair, respecting which no further details are known, is guaranteed by a person who represents himself to have been an eye-witness of it."

On Thursday bets to a considerable amount were decided by the performance of a feat unequalled, we suppose, in colonial annals. Lord Jocelyn, of the Rifle Brigade, had undertaken to walk seven miles, to ride from Halifax to Windsor and back with one change of horses in seven hours, and to walk a a mile after his return to town, all on the same day. His Lordship performed his seven miles, and started for Wind sor at about a quarter before nine in the morning, roads heavy after rain. At half-past three in the afternoon, a large assemblage of persons collected in the vicinity of the North Barracks, expecting his return. When it wanted but a few minutes of the time, intelligence arrived that the horse had broken down about a mile from town, and that it had just been bled, as a means of enabling the creature to finish its task. Fears were now entertained for the success of the rider, and regrets were expressed that he should lose on the very verge of victory, but he was soon discovered leading and partially dragginc , along his exhausted and bleeding horse, while a couple of men, helped to support and urge it forward. He arrived at the place appointed, the corner of the Barrack-offices, within his time, having about a minute and a half to spare. Very loud congratulations hailed his hardly won triumph. Immediately Lord Jocelyn resigned the reins, and proceeded along Brunswick-street to do his mile. This he accomplished apparently with perfect ease. Having concluded he ran a-head of his noisy attendants, mounted a fresh horse, and gallopped to his quarters. Windsor Inn is reckoned to be 45 miles from town, so that, for a continuance of seven hours, 1.21 miles an hour, on heavy roads were performed. The rider was a tall and rather heavy young man. Since the above was in type, we have received the fol lowing " Halifax, Oct. 31, 1834. Vis — count Jocelyn's match to ride from Halifax to Windsor and back again, a distance of 90 miles in seven hours, on two horses, and to walk eight miles, both to be performed in ten hours, was accomplished on Thurplay by his Lordship in gallant style, notwithstanding the badness of the roads, which were heavy odds against him. He rode fourteen stone. His Lordship started at seven o'clock, walking seven miles in an hour and thirty minutes. He then changed his dress, and was ready mounted to start for Windsor at a quarter before nine. h. In. h. m.

THE TURF IN BELGIUM.—At a meeting of tne Society for Improving the Breed of Horses in Belgium, hcid at Brussels on Saturday last, one of the members informed the meeting, that he was authorised by the Duke of Orleans to state that if horses bred in France were allowed to be entered at the Brussels races against Belgian horses. his Royal High ness would attend the Brussels races, accompanied by some of the most distinguished members of the turf in France, all of whom would run horses ; and in return Belgian horses should be allowed to be entered for the plates in the Champ de Mars. —Belgian Journal. EDINBURGH, FEB. 7.—Last Wednesday a novel and daring theft was committed in the Parliament-house, by abstracting from the Councillors' boxes several valuable briefs and other bulky papers, for the purpose of selling them to tobacconists. Some of the records have been traced by the police in snuff-shops, and restored in a dilapidated c ondition to the learned owners. As this flagrant depredation has been committed in the Temple of Justice itself, we presume lawyers will have no hesitation in holding it to be a jurtunt grave. This purloiner of processes was apprehended in Court next day ( Thursday). —Mercury. FRANKFORT PAPERS. BERLIN, FEB. 2.—lt is remarkable that almost all our Ministers to Foreign Courts are now here, viz., the Mini ster to the German Diet, those to the Courts of St. Peters burgh, London, Vienna, Naples, Brussels, and Madrid ; the new Ambassador to Constantinople, the Chargé d'Affaires to Switzerland, and several others. The arrival of the latter (M. Von Olfers) is said to be for a special purpose ; and it is affirmed that Prussia will continue, in common with Austria, its complaints against the Swiss Government. A letter from Kalisch says, that the inhabitants are much pleased with the preparations that are making there, and which indicate that, by the favour of the Emperor, it is chosen as the place of meeting for several persons of dis tinction in the course of this year, which will be a great advantage to that town and neighbourhood. STOCKHOLM, JAN. 27.---The St. George's Steam•naviga tion Company, in Liverpool, will not prolong the contract for carrying the mails between Gottenburg and England, in consequence of the great losses which have been sus tained. These losses have been chiefly caused by the de lays and expense which our cholera quarantine has occa sioned. The public, however, is very desirous that the im portant communication should continue, and petitions on the subject have been addressed to the King by the mer chants of Stockholm and Gottenburg.

According to authentic accounts, it has spread southward as far as the Danube, towards the west into Bohemia, and to the north as far as Austria. Some landed proprietors have lost all their cattle. In the space of ten years all the cattle be longing to the Lichtenstein family have perished. The alarming progress of this plague is attributed to the ex cessive heat last summer, and the consequent want of pas ture. The same complaints exists in Gallicia. This epizootia has also broken out in the northern mountains of Hungary.— German Paper. *.*. ,s. r . .o.u 1 . - Ai. ---„,, r •-r-7 - 7 ( ~... • • '.4.• ,/.....

The Report of the Committee for Accounts, and for General Purposes, was then road by the Clerk. It was as follows : "MIDDLESEX. " To his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Middlesex, in their general Session of the Peace for the said County, held in the - Month of February, 1835, assembled-- " The Report of the Committee for Accounts, and for Ge neral Purposes, upon the first Report of the Committee of Vestry of St. George, Hanover-square, on the expenditure of the County of Middlesex,' referred to them to examine and report upon, by order of the Court at the last Session : " Your Committee report that, pursuant to the directions of the Court, they have carefully examined this Report, and com pared it with the Treasurer's printed accounts, and hive di vided the complaints made under two heads—the first of which is the amount of the estimated expenditure exceeding the ac tual expenditure. " Tlie answer to this is, that the actual expenditure is easily ascertained after the disbursements are made, and includes the bare quarter of a year, whereas the estimated expense must not only provide for that time, but also for the additional time that must elapse between the making a new rate and the receiv ing it, generally exceeding a month, so that in fact the one is the expenditure of three months, the other a provision for upwards of four. " The following statement will show that, l!owever large the estimates may be, they do not cause any unnecessary taxa tion : The whole of the expenditure from October, 1833, to October, 1834, amounts to £66,246 4 8 Total amount of county rate for the same time 66,111 1 0 4 The expenditure exceeding the rate, which is made - up by petty receipts Xr; 12 4 " Of this expenditure, 26,135/. 4s. 2d. are payments for the interest and liquidation of bonds, the tontine, and two an nuities. amounting to 230/. " The second complaint is as easily answered, namely, that of making a rate when the amount of the balance in the trea surer's hands and the uncollected rates, amounting to a larger sum than the expense of the quarter, and therefore no addi tional rate ought to have been made ; but that it was the duty of the magistrates to have enforced the payment of the arrears. " The following statement will show that if the magistrates could have collected the whole of the arrears, a rate would still have been necessary ; this explanation will also assist and throw alight upon the former one. " Taking their own figures in their report upon what they denominate firseaccount, page 5 Cash in treasurer's hands - Uncollected rates made at and previous to the June sessions Total £21,012 13 104 Disbursements.by the treasurer to December 28, being the expiration of the quarter Remaining balance in the hands of the treasurer at that time £1,872 10 3 " Further disbursements by the treasurer, from 28th De cember, 1833, including the 17th January, 1834, being the earliest day upon which the precepts for another rate could be sent out, and after that time thirty days are allowed for pay ment, 3,3111. ss. 10d. " Subtracting the 1,8721. 10s. 3d. from 3,3111. ss. 10d., would leave a deficiency of 1,438/. 15s. 7d. The disburse ments from the 17th of January until the 16th February, being the thirty days allowed before the rate can be enforced, would add to this amount a further sum of 1,4931. 9s.

" Second Account in their Report, page 6, from the 28th December, 1833, to sth April, 1834. . - " It is admitted in this account that there would have been a slight deficiency of 3721. 18s. 9d. at the end of this quarter (supposing all the arrears had been received), and no part of the new rate paid until the precepts could be issued for the rate made upon the 24th April, the disbursements by the county treasurer, up to the Ist May, including payments to prosecu tors and witnesses, amounted to the sum of 5,0061. 2s. 41d., beyond the cash in the treasurer's hands, and the uncollected rates ; yet, notwithstanding this, the magistrates are charged with negligence and injustice in making a rate to meet these disbursements. " Third Account, from the sth April, 1834, to 28th June, 1834. " hi this account it is admitted a rate was necessary ; and as to the remark that the rate made by the justices on the 24th April, was extravagantly high, it is fully accounted for in the last statement. " Fourth Account, from the 28th June to the 13th October. Cash in treasurer's hands £7,497 17 84 Uncollected rates Total £18,573 16 113 Disbursements to the 13th October, the end of the quarter Balance in treasurer's hand, 13th October 1; 90 19 8i Further disbursements by the treasurer, from 13th October to the 30th, when the precepts were is sued for another rate Deducting the above balance of 4,806 17 2 90 19 8} Leaves a deficiency of Disbursements from the 30th October to the 30th November, being the thirty days allowed after the receipt of the precepts, before the rate can be enforced ... 10,781 12 11 Upon the 23d October a rate was made of a half penny in the pound, but, up to the 30th Novem ber, the sum received by the county treasurer on this rate amounted only to 4941. 145., whereas his disbursements from the 13th October, amount- ed to ,•••• ..... :• . 15,497 10 44 " This great outlay is accounted for by a payment of inte rest, and part of the principal of bonds between the sth and 24th of November, to the amount of 8,4591., so that 15,4971. 10s. 4i-d. was required by the county treasurer, and if a rate had not been made on the 10th of July, having only the sum of 901. 19s. Bd. in hand, and 494/. 14s , the amount of the now rate collected up to the 30th Nov., it is hardly neces out what would have been the state of the finances sary to point' and the credit of t;: county. " In reference to the c::. arge . error of an of 261. 9s. 4d., page 7, either in the cash in hang, or the amount of rates uncol lected, it is accounted for by the county :ireasuFer as follows : The precinct of St. Catherine appealed aga;:' st the amount of rental recommended by the magistrates, the alai." eal having been allowed after the precepts had been issued; a reduction upon two quarters was allowed, which amounted to 26/. 9s. the amount of the alleged error in question. Your com mittee having, they trust, given a satisfactory answer to all the complaints, cannot help expressing their regret that the persons who drew up the report, and presented it to the vestry, should not,. in the frequent interviews they had with the county treasurer, have pointed out to him those alleged irregularities, and have asked him for an explanation, which he would most readily have afforded them, when the printing of the report would have been unnecessary, and those remarks, so discredit able in themselves, and which—if allowed to remain uure futed—might have attached to the Magistrates, would have been spared. (Signed) " BENJAMIN EDWARD HALL, Chairman." Mr. PETER LAURIE said, that he had been requested by the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, to put in a letter which had been addressed by the vestry-clerk of that parish to Sir Robert Baker : it was dated on the 17th' of December, 1834. On the last county day, some observa tions had been made on the parish of St. George, Han over-square, being in arrear in the payment of their pro portion of the general rates ; and, in consequence, a letter had been sent by the vestry-clerk to Sir Robert Baker, stating that the vestry of that parish objected, on particular grounds, to discharge that arrear ; but that, if he con sidered its remaining unpaid would , impede the progress of public business, they were ready to pay it under protest. Sir Robert Baker had not thought it necessary to make that letter public ; but, as the parochial officers of St. George were gentlemen of great zeal and ability, lie (Mr. Laurie) thought it ought to be read before the Court ; although, at the same time, he was decidedly of opinion that it stated no valid pound of objection to the payment of the money. Mr. ALLEN, the deputy-clerk of the peace, then read the letter. The vestry expressed their opinion that , the current rate imposed by the county magistrates was un called for, as there was a balance of ten thousand pounds in hand. They therefore objected to pay their proportion of it ; and they further required that an investigation should be made into the expenditure of the county, with the view of ascertaining whether the rates could not be re duced. They stated, however, that rather than impede the public business, or occasion public inconvenience, they would pay the rate if required ; but under protest. Mr. MCWILLIAM said, that he for one was ready to com pel any man or set of men to pay money which Ile or they acknowledged they were able to pay ; and in respect of which, they merely claimed an exemption on the g: our al. of their own unwillingness to pay it. Mr. GARFORD was of the same opinion. The general impression certainly was, that an opulent parish like that v St. eorge, anover-sr their proportion of the c( The CHAIRMAN beggea the letter the money had been paid. Captain ACELAM commented in severe terms upon the first report of the Committee of Vestry of the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, which he designated as a one sided report, in which reflections on the character of the Middlesex Magistrates were carefully preserved, while everthing that tended to exculpate them from the charges that had been brought against them was as carefully omitted.—(Hear, hear, hear.) When they talked about .a balance in hand, they appeared to forget the interval which must necessarily elapse between the expi ration of the quarter and the imposition of a new rate. There was generally an interval of six or seven days in the first place, the Magistrates did not meet for seven days more, and then an interval of thirty days must elapse be fore the rate could be enforced. Under these circum stances, the county treasurer naturally represented to the Finance Committee that unless a rate were made in July, that which was imposed at the next quarter-sessions would not be collected in time to meet the payments for the liquidation of, and interest on, bonds which alone amounted to 8,7001. He thought the statement any thing but a liberal or a fair one ; and he considered they had a fair ground of complaint, when, instead of its being quietly , represented to the Middlesex Magistrates, it had been ex tensively circulated, and printed in the public journals with out their knowledge, and without their having the slightest opportunity of answering the ch i arges against them. He was the last who would advocate concealment in matters of such a nature—what he wanted was common justice and fair play. As to arrears, the County Treasurer was very frequently called upon to explain the deficiencies in the rates, but he (Captain Acklam) did think that this refusal to pay came with an extremely bad grace from such rich pa rishes as St. George's and St. James's, while there were so many poor parishes in the county where the rates really could not be collected.—(Hear, hear.) In his own parish of Chelsea, for instance, there were about 5,000 houses, the total rental of which did not exceed 111,000/. ; of these, 1,700 were rated at 12/., and under, and 1,300 more at 20/. and under. Thus, in the parish of St. James, the collector could knock at the door of the United Service Club-house, and demand the rate on a rental of 10,500/. at once ; while in Chelsea he might go to a hundred houses, and be out a whole day, as he him self had assured him he had actually done, without collect ir..g even as much as 20/. The parish of St. George, on their own showing, had 12,000/. in Exchequer bills, and he (Captain Acklam) again said that he thought it was the very last parish that ought to make this objection, espe &ally when it was recollected that the expenses of the county. of Middlesex were greatly increased by the main tenance in jails of men of bad character, who came up from all parts of the country when they could no longer remain there. He begged to move, " That the report of the committee be adopted, and that a copy of it be sent to the parish of St. George, Hanover-square." Sir PETER LAURIE readily seconded the motion, although he dissented from the latter part of it, considering that it might involve them in a contention which it was very de sirable to avoid. He had given the Middlesex Magistrates some pretty hard rubs occasionally, but he felt bound to say that in his conscience he believed no set of men dis charged the duties imposed upon them with greater fair ness, equity, or impartiality, or with a stronger desire to observe every proper and reasonable economy. Sir JAMES WILLIAMS observed, in corroboration of the statement of Captain Acklam, that on some Occasions when the rate had not been imposed in time, the salaries of the keepers and matrons of prisons could not be paid. He repudiated the charge of extravagance. In the parish of St. Pancras alone 3,000 persons had recently been sum moned for the non-payment of their rates: their poverty was so great that it would be a charity to excuse them, and indeed there were a great many who must be exempted, simply because they really had not the money to pay. Under these circumstances he thought the more opulent parishes might act with some degree of lenity and forbear ance.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to this account, he would only say, that he did not believe there was one item in it, the amount of which would have been less, had it re lated to the private concerns of any individual present. Mr. GARFORD agreed with Sir Peter Laurie as to the latter part of the motion, and therefore begged to move as an amendment, that instead of a copy being sent to the pa rish of St. George, Hanover-square, notice be given to them that the magistrates had inquired into their statement, and received a satisfactory report, which might be seen on appli cation to the Clerk of the Peace. Captain ACKLAM had no objection to amend the motion accordingly, and the motion in its amended form was then put. Mr. PETER LAURIE begged to remind the Court, with reference to the charge of extravagance, that all the provi. sions for the county institutions were purchased by contract. He held in his hand the diet table established by the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, and before he referred to it he begged to say, that he had yesterday asked a highly respectable gentleman connected with that parish, whom he met accidentally, whether there was any objection to his (Mr. Laurie's) referring to that paper. He replied in the negative, and very fairly sent him a copy of it. That table he (Mr. Laurie) now held in his hand, and a precious do cument it was. This was the weekly dietary for an able bodied man, who, he supposed, was sent out to work in the streets-51b. of bread, 10 pints and a half of gruel, 5 oz. of beef. Mr. STRACHAN rose to order. He put it to the Court, whether it was desirable to enter into this recrimination ? Mr. LAURIE contended that he had a perfect right to refer to the table. The parish of St. George accused them of extravagance, and they had a fair right to ascertain what their notions of economy were-soz. of beef, 41 pints of soup, 14oz. suet pudding, Boz. cheese, and 411 b. bread. The Monday's diet for an able-bodied man was 12oz. bread, 11 pint gruel, Li pint of soup for dinner, and the lemi niseences of the five ounces of meat he had on Sunday. There was no other luxury in which the unfortunate pauper could indulge but the pump. He (Mr. Laurie) presumed he was allowed to drink water at discre tion.—(Hear, and laughter.) The cost of the dietary laid down by the parish of St. Ceorge, Hanover-square, was estimated at Is. 10id. a week, in page 31 of the re port relative to the pauper lunatic asylum at Hanwell ; while there were only four gaols in England and Wales where the diet of the prisoners cost less than two shil lings per week. He t rus t e d th ey wou ld never i m i tate such economy as this ; he hoped the Middlesex Magis trates would never try to ascertain the minimum on which body and soul could be kept together. He would only add, that he hoped none of the vestry would ever be compelled to live on such a diet as they established for others. Mr. M'WILLIAM was opposed to condemning the pa rish of St. George without seeing the paupers, and judg of the sufficiency of their food by their appearance. cited " Bankes's Travels," to prove that men could live on eery hale besides water, and gave notice that at the next county meeting he should move a vote of thanks to these gentlemen for their manly and straightforward conduct. After a few more observations, the motion, as amended, was carried. ;&, oug tis justice to contribute county-rate . Hear.) ged to state that since the receipt of HOWSE OF CORRECTION. The report of the Visiting Justices, as to the state of this prison, was then read. It appeared that it contained 921 prisoners (of whom 214 were females), and 11 children. Mr. HALSEWELL, in moving that the report be adopted, urged the necessity of allowing no one to visit the prisoners unless empowered so to do by an order signed by two Ma gistrates. It was a curious fact, that a person, fashionably dressed, had been in the habit of calling in a gig, and visit ing all the most notorious " smashers," as they are termed, who were confined in the gaol. On referring to the Act of Parliament, he found that as the present was not a General Quarter Session, a rule of Court to that effect could not be made. He hoped, however, it would be at the earliest opportunity.—(Hear, hear.) NEW PRISON. The report of the Visiting Justices of this prison was read and adopted. It stated that there were at present 181 prisoners in the gaol-126 males, 55 females, and 4 children, and that the prisoners generally were orderly and well behaved. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY. The opinion of Sir John Campbell on the case submitted to him as to the repair of the road over the Grand Junction Canal Company's bridge, near Uxbridge, was then read. It stated decidedly that the expense of the repair must be paid, not by the company, but by the county. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. HALSEWELL brought up the Report of the Com mittee on Weights and Measures, which stated that with reference to the late inspector, Mr. Ross, the Committee had no new matter to state, and therefore had no further Report to make. The Worthy Magistrate said that with reference to the conduct of other inspectors, the Committee were not yet prepared to make any Report. The CHAIRMAN asked what proceedings the Committee recommended should be adopted, to enforce the bond which Mr. Ross's sureties had entered into Mr. LAURIE said that as the whole of the penalty (1001.) went to the King, he thought it would be best to inform the Attorney-General that it was forfeited, and leave him to take any steps that he thought proper. He thought the county ought not to go to any expense. He concluded by giving notice for the next Court-day that a communication to the above effect be made to his Majesty's Attorney- General.
