BRITISH SPIRITS. The following are extracts from the second part (just printed) of the Seventh Report of the Commissioners ap pointed by his Majesty to inquire into the establishment of the Department of Excise, and into the Management and Collection of the Excise Revenue in all its branches, throughout the United Kingdom. The subject is British Spirits, and our extracts, at prevent, are from the first di- vision of the Report : 1. SPIRIT DEALERS AND RETAILERS. It may be mentioned, as one of the effects arising from the interference of fiscal regulations with the natural course of trade, to which we have adverted in the former part of this Report, that the traders concerned in the sup ply of the home market with articles wholly of domestic production are often necessarily divided into distinct classes, each of them subject to a peculiar system of Excise restriction and controul. This effect of fiscal interfer ence is remarkable in the instance before us, of the arti cle of spirits, which in England is required to go through the hands of the distiller, the rectifier, the spirit dealer, and the spirit retailer, before it reaches the consumer, whilst the same article in many parts of Scotland and Ireland actually does, and in all parts of those countries may, pass at once, like other articles of general consumption, from the hands of the manufacturer into those of the consumer. It should be recollected also that this subdivision of trades and multi plication of restrictions arise wholly (so far as the revenue is concerned) from an attempt to provide a further and col lateral security for a head of duty, the primary charge and collection of which are professedly secured at the place of manufacture, by the vexatious and complicated system of regulations, and the numerous and expensive establishment of officers employed in putting them in force, which we have described in the former part of this Report. Notwithstand ing, however, the difference of practice to which we have alluded in parts of Scotland and Ireland, the classification of spirit dealers and retailers is common to the several parts of the kingdom, and in Ireland a further division of the same class of traders is recognized under the title of spirit grocers. All these traders are under the immediate superintend ence and controul of the Excise, and none of them can carry on their trade without a license obtained from that depart ment, at various regulated amounts of duty, which licenses are required to be annually renewed. The general distinction between the several classes is as follows :--Spirit dealers are those who are licensed to sell in quantities not less than two gallons ; spirit retailers are licensed to sell in quantities, however small ; spirit grocers are licensed to sell in quantities not exceeding two quarts ; but they are restrained from allowing any spirits to be drunk on the premises. The number of individuals in these several classes, who were licensed in the United Kingdom in the year 1833, was : Spirit Dealers Retailers 85,157 Grocers The whole of these traders must make entry of their pre mises, and obtain licences before they can carry on their trade ; that the retailers must, as keepers of public-houses, obtain a Magistrate's certificate ; that all dealers must give notice to the officer of Excise when they receive spirits into their possession, and also give notice before they open the casks containing them ; that no spirits can be received into, or taken out of, stock, to the extent of more than one gallon, without a permit ; that foreign and British spirits must be kept in separate rooms ; that the stock on hand may be taken account of at such times as the officer thinks proper ; that if any undue increase be feund it is forfeited, and a penalty imposed ; and that if, after deducting the quantity sent out by permit, any decrease be discovered in the stock of a dealer exceeding 5 per cent., he incurs a penalty. There are also various minor regulations, the general ob ject evidently being the establishment, with respect to these classes of traders, of a complete system of survey and per mit, such as we have described in our former reports with respect to the dealers in tea, tobacco, wine, and other ex cisable articles. For our general views on that system, we beg leave to refer to those reports, since the observations which are made on its application to the articles therein re ferred to, will be found caiedis to belong to it when applied to spirit dealers and retailers ; for, notwithstanding the broad line of distinction existing between articles of pro duction and an article wholly of domestic production, it will be found that the principle and object of the system of survey and permit are in both cases the same, namely, an attempt to follow the latter article into the hands of a se cond class of traders, after it has passed from the possession of the first, in whose hands it was primarily liable to the full charge of the duties imposed upon it ; being, in the case of the foreign al titles, the Customs duty, payable in full by the importer ; and, in the other, the Excise duty, payable equally in full by the manufacturer. When it is considered that the number of spirit-dealers and retailers who are at present subject to the above regulations amounts to 89,191, dispersed over every part of the kingdom, each hav ing a stock requiring a separate survey, and each requiring, at various and uncertain times, to be provided with per mits, it will be obvious that the system cannot be en forced (even imperfectly) without an immense demand up on the time and attention of the officers who are employed in making these surveys, and in providing and registering the permits. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that these regulations are necessarily the cause of great incon venience to this numerous body of traders, from their in. terference with their private concerns. They are also placed in such a situation, by being liable to the variety of heavy penalties, under which the above regulations are en forced, as to be in a considerable degree in the power of the officers of Excise. Under these considerations, it becomes obviously important to determine, whether, from the expe rience of what has been the practical effect of the system of spirit surveys and permits in securing the object to which it is directed, the continuance of this system can, under the present circumstances of the trade, be justified or recommended. Spirit-dealers and retailers in all parts of the kingdom have been placed under the control of the Excise with the same general object, which is that of preventing them from introducing into their stocks, and from selling, spirits on which no duty has been paid ; or, in other words, the ob ject of providing an additional security for the revenue de rived from the duty on spirits, besides that which is pro vided by the regulations of the law-Ist, for levying the duty on grain spirits at the distilleries ; 2dly, for surpres sing illicit distillation ; and idly, for preventing the smug gling of foreign spirits. But although the general object of the system be the same throughout the United Kingdom, the question as to the necessity or advantages of continuing it in its present form, must obviously depend in a great measure upon the circumstances under which the trade in spirits is carried on, which circumstances, as we have aiready intimated, vary widely in the different parts of the United Kingdom. With reference to England, the necessity of rectifying English spirits—the small number of distilleries—and the circumstance of illicit distillation from grain not being prac tised to any considerable extent—make the question as to England essentially different from what it is as to Scotland and Ireland. Mr. Briant, keeper of the Horns Tavern, Kennington, who is a very extensive retailer of spirits, states the incon venience of obtaining a permit for any quantity beyond a gallon sent out, to be so great, that the regulation is very generally evaded by the trade. He also gives it as his opinion that illicit spirit, principally in the shape of spirit of wine, is used by many retailers for the purpose of bringing up the strength of other descriptions of spirit that have been previously reduced ; and he adds that he does not see how it is possible for the Excise survey to prevent the introduction of the illicit spirit into the stocks of the retailer. In considering the question of the expediency of main taining the present system, it should be borne in mind tha in England there are three kinds of spirits, which by possit bility may be introduced into the stocks of dealers and re tailers without the duty having been paid on them, namely, spirits made from grain, spirits made from molasses, and foreign spirits. We shall separately examine how far the surveys and permits are of any use as applied to these three kinds of spirits :- Ist. With respect-to spirits made in England from grain. As they are sent from the distilleries where they are made, not to dealers or retailers, but to rectifying distilleries to render them fit for sale, there is no connection between the original distillers and the dealers and retailers ; and, there fore, the discovery on a survey of an illegal increase of spirits in the stocks of a dealer or retailer, or the discovery of the removal of spirits, without a permit, into the stocks of either of them, cannot be evidence of any fraud having been commited by the maker of the spirits so discovered, either in increase or by removal without a permit. For this reason it is clear that it is impossible that the spirit surveys and permits can have any effect in preventing a distiller from committing frauds on the revenue if he were disposed and had the opportunity to do so ; or, in other words, any effect in providing additional security to the re venue deriveMET944 duty on spirits. The circiunitinets or:tirre being in England only twelve distiller bid ma pri .. ;:4,5 4 from grain, and of there not being e illicit di it6tion-fizi grad t . tin any considerable extent, af to this conclusion ; and the ford furihex reasons. for cbmwg following extract from' .the Examination of Mr. Hetherington corroborates this , yieOr of the question : " Confining the quistion•to the English distillers of grain spirits, can you produce any proof to show that the survey of dealers' stocks has contributed to prevent the English distillers from, committing frauds upon the revenue by sending out spirits not having paid duty ?—I never knew any spirits to go into a dealer's stock immediately from a distiller's ; in England it is of that description that it all goes to the rectifier. ‘4 Therefore, the connection between the distillers and the dealers in spirits is completely cut off?—Completely so in England. " Therefore, it is almost impossible to trace the spirit from the distiller's premises into the dealer's stock by the aid of the survey 2—lt is quite impossible ; because when it goes to the rectifier's we know nothing of it. " It appears from what you have stated that the survey of dealers in spirits can have no effect in preventing the licensed distillers of grain spirits in England from commit ting frauds ?—I think not. We would especially notice the strong, and, as it appears to us, the just complaint which is urged against the exist ence of the restrictions on the fair demands of the trader, under the provisions of the statute commonly called the " Tippling Act." Whatever may have been the effi cacy of this statute for the proposed object of checking intemperance at the time when it was passed, we are satisfied that under the alterations which have since taken place in the habits of the people, and in the ordinary modes of supply of spirituous liquors, no benefit can result from its continuance sufficient to outweigh the strong objec tions which may be urged against it, from its direct ten dency to encourage dishonest dealing, and to interfere with the just rights of the licensed and regular trader : we therefore recommend that an early opportunity should be taken to repeal this Act. After the observations which we have already submitted on the effects of the system of survey and permits as applied to the spirit dealers of Scot land and Ireland, it is hardly necessary to state that the result of our enquiries with respect to those parts of the kingdom is the same as that which we have already inti mated with respect to England, namely, that this system is not attended with any advantages equivalent to the incon venience and expense, both public and private, which are thereby occasioned, and that it may therefore be wholly discontinued, reserving only to the Board of Excise a gene ral power of examining spirits either in stock or in transit, on the receipt of such information as may justify a strong suspicion of fraud. MODEL OF PALESTINE.—There is just opened, at the Somerset Gallery, next door to Somerset-House, an exhibition of " A grand Model of Palestine, or the Holy Land." The size of the model is 18 feet by 9 feet, and clearly ex hibits the site of upwards of 250 cities, town, and villages, as well as those of the sea of Galilee, and the Dead Sea, and of the causes of the great rivers of Kidron and Jordan, and others of minor note. To accomplish this interesting object, the projector avows that he has spared neither expense nor labour—and the model is strong proof of the fidelity of his statement—in accurately laying down the precise sites of the ancient royal and levitical cities, as well, as the several cities of refuge, together with every place celebrated in the sacred writings, or held in note by Ecclesiastical History ; so that this Model of Palestine will naturally assist to elucidate the reading of the Sacred Scriptures, and offer important facili ties to the acquirement of a correct geographical knowledge of the Holy Land. This is true, and deeply interesting is tie subject ; and it is truly considered that such a model cannot fail not only to interest the more experienced Christian and general lover of ancient history, but prove both amusing and instructing to the junior branches of families. CORPORATION REFORM.—Had Cruickshank been in Chichester on Saturday morning when the tenor of Lord John Russel's Bill for municipal reform was first known, he would have found some admirable subjects for his ininait . able pencil. In one spot was a knot of old aldermen and corporators, exclaiming on the ingratitude of any one who could really think of politically killing them, after all their exertions in the public service, on the 25 th f October next. In another place some of the more recently made burgesses were bewailing the pounds their initiation into Corporation mysteries, now no longer to benefit them, had actually cost. Here were seen a few of the forthcoming mayors, but who by the new order of things may never fill the chair to which their little brains have aspired, lamenting the truth of the adage, " many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip ;" while there the offi cials of the corporate body were blubbering out "sauve qui pout," finding all their gains were rapidly vanishing from their grasp. Anon were observed brewers all dismayed that the granting of licenses was no more to be a corporation snug gery; while pawnbrokers and old clothesmen were calculating how they might turn a penny by the purchase of the old cocked hats and aldermanic gowns which are but for a few weeks longer destined to grace their present owners. In contrast with these gloomy calculating visages, we beheld the Radicals smiling and chuckling at this confirmation of their oft-repeated story—that municipal corporations had survived the object of their original appointment, and ought to be de stroyed ; but as other corporate places probably were similarly affected with Chichester, Cruickshanks needed to possess übiquity to do justice to all parties.—Brighton Guardian. TALES OF THE PEERAGE AND THE YEASAN TAY.—This new work from the pen of the popular author of " The Chaperon" is announced for immediate publication. The prediction of the Quarterly Review as to the success of this most agreeable writer—" that inheriting much of the dramatic talent of her richly-gifted mother, she afforded every promise of obtaining a classical reputation as a novelist"—has been literally verified. " The Chaperon" ran through two editions, and her name is now second only to that of the inimit able Maria Edgeworth. The City of Cork has addressed the Lord Lieutenal of Ireland. On Thursday, at Maryborough, a very numerous and highly respectable meeting was holden of the landholders, freeholders and inhabitants of the Queen's County, at which two very spirited addresses to the King and the Earl of Mul grave were adopted. An Inquest was held at Brighton, on Wednesday, on the young man who destroyed himself by toking aqua fortis when in a state of great excitement occasioned by an affair of the heart. Verdict—lnsanity. An interruption of Divine Service took place at Spalding Church last Sunday morning, by John Freeman, labourer, and Ann Jackson, demanding to be married immedi ately after the publishing of the bans. The loving couple were united in the midst of the morning service.—Boston Herald. MoNmouTH.—The late rains have been most be neficial to vegetation, which has assumed a most luxuriant appearance in all directions, and the corn fields and grass lands alike give ample promise of abundant crops. The ap ples in the orchards have a healthy appearance at present, and there will probably be a large produce of cider; the pear trees were in many places severely injured by the frost, but in some situations the crop of pears will be abundant. TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.—On Monday evening, at a meeting of the South Shields Temperance Society, Mr. G. Mottrom, an old man of war's man, now living at Darlington, addressed them in favour of temperance principles. Similar meetings have been holden in the course of the week, at Newcastle, Howdon Pans, and North Shields.—Sunderland Herald. ASCOT HEATH RACES.—These races promise to be more attractive this season to the sporting world than ever before known. Their Majesties will attend every day, and entertain a great number of distinguished visitors, at the Castle, for the week ; and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland will occupy Frogmore House. In addition to the attractions of Royalty, we are presented with the best " bill of fare" that we have seen for many years.—Reading Mercury. Peas were yesterday abundant in Covent-garden, and selling as low as one shilling a peck, being a fall of two shillings since Saturday. The peck, however, differs from that of all former years, in not being heaped. This change is one of the consequences of the beautiful Weights and Mea sures Act, which not only annihilates the heaped measure as a legally recognised guage of quantity, but also goes the length of subjecting persons buying or selling by it to heavy penalties. TAVERNS.—We are informed by Sir Henry Spel man, that " in the raigne of King Edward the Third only three tavernes were allowed in London : one in Chepe, one in Wal broke, and the other in Lombard-street. QUICK TRAVELLING.—.One day last week, the three rival coaches from London to Portsmouth accomplished the journey (72 miles) in five hours and 20 minutes I which exceeds even the Brighton speed. The late Earl Nelson's wines removed from the cellars in Trafalgar-house, were on Tuesday sold by auction, at Salisbury ; all the other effects contained in the mansion and offices are likewise to be brought to the hammer. Foreigners say that three hot days and a thunder storm make an English summer. HYDROPHOBIA.—Within the last six days nine different persons have been brought into the Westminster Hospital, having been bitten by dogs supposed to be in a rabid state. A horrible discovery was made at Spalding on Fri day last. Mr. Elsum, and a person of the name of Barber, went to search a privy, where they found the body of a male child sewed up in some clothes, and on whose body pieces of crockery and stones had been thrown, evidently to make it sink. Mary Vicars and her sister were taken into custody. —Boston Herald. EXCURSIONS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.—For a vivid description both of Algiers and Tunis, these volumes stand unrivalled. The author, Major Sir Grenville Temple, was peculiarly fitted for the task that he undertook with so much energy, and performed with so much success. His knowledge of languages, and his classical learning, has ena bled him, in this tour, to furnish much excellent material for history : the inscriptions that he has collected would alone give the work a great and a permanent value. DREADFUL FIRE.—On Sunday night, about half past eleven o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out in the machine works of Mr. William Dunn, High John-street, which entirely consumed the premises and the whole of the very valuable machinery and other property. The fire originated in the east end of the building, on the third flat, and before it had got any length, there did not seem to b e an y wa t er . I n a f ew minutes all hope of saving the premises or any of the pro perty was extinguished, the whole building of four stories high was enveloped in one mass of fire. When the roof fell in the illumination was magnificent, and must have been seen at a great distance. The loss sustained must be very great._. The firemen had much difficulty in saving a dwelling-house at some distance, so intense was the heat, and the inmates therein were obliged to fly with their children, leaving all their pro perty to its fate. A great number of excellent tradesmen and labourers will be necessarily thrown out of employment.— L Glasgow Herald.

It is a commanding one, and they may confidently reckon on the assistance of the people in their struggle to main tain it. The Ipswich Committee, a report of whose. pro ceedings will be found in another part of The Sun, have, after a long and minute investigation, come to the resolution that R. A. DUNDAS, Esq., and F. KELLY, Esq., are not duly elected ; that the petition of R. RANSOM and others is not frivolous or vexa- tious : but that the opposition to it is so. This re sult will operate as a useful hint to the Carlton Club (some of whose agents cut the same sort of figure at Ipswich that they cut more recently at South Devon,) and impress on its members the expediency of being, for the future, more chary of their conservative cash. In the good, old days of boroughmongering, bribery, corruption, and every species of scandalous electioneer ing manoeuvre, might be had 'recourse to with all but perfect impunity ; but now a healthier tone of public feeling is springing up ; and the time is not far distant when such acts will reflect as much dishonour on him who practises them, and on those on whom they are practised, as if both parties had qualified themselves for a public exhibition at the bar of the Old Bailey. Had the Ballot been in existence, we should have had no such disgraceful transactions as those which the proceedings of the Ipswich Election Com mittee have been the means of bringing into broad day-light. We should have been spared the report that certain parties were guilty of bribery, and had " absconded, to avoid being served with the Speaker's warrant," for corruption having no ends to answer, would have refrained from all exercise of ingenuity. Lord JOHN RUSSELL may talk as he pleases about the un-English and immoral tendency of the Ballot ; but it must be evident to all who have ever bestowed a sound thought on the subject, that, view it even in the most unfavourable light, Englishmen can never be so immoral with it, as they have been, and must still continue to be, without it. True, a slow but sure im provement is taking place in the character of many of our constituencies ; still, a large portion of them are so habituated to corrupt practices, that no remedy, short of the Ballot, can purify them. To this we must come, for acts like those proved to have been perpetrated at Ipswich are arguments in its favour, which must flash conviction on the minds even of the most sceptical. The Morning Chronicle, in a flippant notice of the Eton Montem—an annual exhibition, which► took place yesterday at Salt Hill—says, " We have seen nothing like it since the First of May last. The master chimney-sweeps have recently abolished their ancient mummery; the authorities of Eton cannot do better than follow their example." The whole article is penned in this spirit, and bears honourable testimony, in every line, to the mingled coxcombry and ignorance of the writer. He seems to think that the Montem is a mere showy spectacle—a sort of out-door masque rade—got up for no other purpose than that of enabling the Eton boys to enjoy a holiday. That this has something to do with the exhibition, we presume not for one instant to deny ; but its primary object is, to reward by subscription the cleverest foundation scholar in the establishment, so that he may be enabled to prosecute his studies, under favouring auspices, at King's College, Cambridge. Is there anything in this so preposterously ridiculous as to call forth the censure of _the pedant in the Chronicle But granting that the Montem is nothing more than a schoolboy's holiday, in what way, pray, does it offend public taste ? Is there no rational en joyment without the pale of Utilitarianism ? We are sick of that pedantic square-and-rule philosophy, which measures every thing by a principle of utility ; which discourages pleasure simply viewed as pleasure ; and would write down even virtue herself, were it but once proved to be impossible to turn her to profitable ac count in the Utilitarian market. We have received the only few papers published in Paris on Monday last, namely—the National, the Bon Sens, the Rffornzatettr, and Galignani's Messen ger. The writers for the public press enjoy few holi days, either in France or England, but the feast of Pentecost is among the very'few which claim the re pose of our Parisian contemporaries. In the jour nals received, we find no intelligence, foreign or domestic, worthy of much regard. The Court of Peers sat on Monday, and examined some witnesses, but it does not appear from the progress already made, that the trials can be gone through during the six ensuing months. The National is of opinion that the trials will yet be abandoned altogether, notwith standing the ardent desire of the KING to have them continued. Already have subscriptions been opened for defray ing the amount of fines lately imposed by the Chamber of Peers on the Editors of the Tribune and Itcfor nu-deur journals, and the parties convicted of contemn ing the authority of that noble tribunal. The amount of the subscriptions received since the preparation of the lists is very considerable. The question of Spanish intervention is hardly touched upon in the Journals of Monday.

We have received German Papers, with advises from the Swiss frontier to the 29th of May. The Govern ment of Berne has addressed notes to the Governments of Baden, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg, in the same con ciliatory spirit in which it addressed the Imp er i a l Court, so that perfect harmony will soon be restored b e tween these powers. The Swiss jou rna l s are , bow ever, hostile to this act of the Government of Berne, denouncing its authors as betrayers of the rights of the Republic. On this head we can offer no remark, as copies of the notes have not yet found their way into the public papers. Accounts from Rome, "to the 26th of May, state, that the POPE is making great improvements in the navigation of the Tiber. His Holiness also is carry ing a public road from Rome to the confines of Tus cany, which, when finished, will be of the greatest benefit to travellers in Italy. The POPE is extremely popular. He is the first Pontiff, since LEO X., who has devoted the whole of the feyenues of the Holy See to the improvement of the city of Rome. He is, however, more solicitous to promote agriculture and encourage commerce than to foster those arts which constituted the glory of his illustrious predecessor. _.. _ VIENNA, MAY 30.-9 Per Cents. 1011; 4 Per Cents. g7+ ; Bank Shares I,33l.—Allgemains Zeitung, June 4.

We have received Lisbon Papers to the 27th of May. An entire change in the Ministry was confi dently expected. The Marquis of SALDANTIA had received the appointment of Minister of War. The young QUEEN was in the enjoyment of excellent health, and the country was rapidly recovering from the effects of the late civil war. Letters and papers from Madrid, to the 3d inst., have been received. On the 31st ult. a Royal Order was promulgated, commanding that all Indices and do cuments lodged in the offices of the Police, and in the offices of all other departments of the State, disclosing plots against the Government, should be destroyed. The object of this order is to effect a total oblivion of all past treasons against the QUZEN and the consti tution. In Madrid the people were peaceable. It was feared, however, that the dissolution of the Cortes would materially weaken the influence of the Govern ment in the capital. We this day insert the letter on Home Colonization, to which we referred on Monday, and which, by a mistake of the Printer, was detached from the para graph intended to appear simultaneously with it. , FINE ARTS. lINDEN'S BYRON BEAUTIES. _Nal. VII C. Tilt. London. 1835. The present Part consists of three engravings, the best of which is the imaginary portrait of Leila, the heroine of Lord Byron's " Gaiour." The counte nance is of the true Asiatic stamp ; the eye, black as the raven's wing, and full of voluptuous sensibility ; the nose slightly aquiline ; the lips red, pouting, and strongly provocative of a kiss. A wiser man than the Giaour might have had his head turned by such a wo man, who looks the very image of the sea-born Aphro dite. Lady Pinchbeck, (one of the personages in the later cantos of " Don Juan,") is a portrait altogether in a different style. She is a very common-place Eng lish beauty, such as one never fails to meet with at a country-race ball. By her ring"We perceive that she is married, and by the expression of her countenance, that she is sorry for it. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

On the other hand, they beg to state, as it is NOT illegal for any person in England to PURCHASE Foreign Lottery Tickets, that any person desirous to purchase, on addressing them by mail, will receive a full Scheme, and any desirable infor mation on the subjeet (Gratis), by return of post.

We have just heard that an order came down to the Custom-house yesterday, to allow the exportation of arms and ammunition to Spain, remitting the 3 per cent. ad valorem duty. As the Tories begin to recover from the stupefac tion into which they were thrown by the conduct o Sir ROBERT PEEL, on the introduction of the Corpo. ration Reform Bill, they see some things in the mea sure which they think would be better out of it They are exceedingly anxious, honest people ! that every abuse should be reformed—extirpated root and branch— but would it not be better to have septennial elections ? Surely if septennial elections are not too long for Members of Parliament, they may do very well for Borough Councilmen. And why should the right of voting be extended beyond the ten pound qualification ? Were it to be so restricted, what an improvement that would be to the Bill I—what a respectable constituency would thus be created I These and similar hints are now thrown out, in order, we presume, to prepare the way for a Parlia mentary opposition to the most valuable parts of the measure. Annual election—annual at least as to a portion of the Council—and the franchise co-extensive with the payment of taxes, are the provisions on which the whole efficiency of the measure rests. With t h em as a foundation, the modification of the details is a matter of easy accomplishment — we might say, of com parative unimportance--without them, all the enact ments that human ingenuity can contrive will not afford an adequate security against the recurrence of the evils of the present system. We therefore trust that no compromise will be made with the Tories on these two cardinal points. We trust Lord IVIEL- PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS HOUSE OF COMMONS. ORDERS OF THE DAY FOR THIS DAY. I.

COCKNEY GRATITUDE.—At a party in Leith lately, the conversation turned upon accidental drowning. A gentleman present stated that he at one time narrowly escaped drowning while bathing in the Thames, and would have perished but for the intrepidity of a young man, who, at the risk of his own life, saved his. " Then you must have felt very grateful to that individual for his gallant act," said one of the party. " Grateful !" replied the gentleman, " grateful to him 1 why he was only a poor suck of a barber !"—Scotsman. PROLIFIC DUCKS.—A cottager at Bastow, Stacey, has a duck which has laid an egg on 165 successive days, and one of its last year's brood has produced eighty eggs on as many successive days. THE COAL TRADE.—The amount of coal annually consumed in this country is prodigious. Independently of all that is conveyed from the inland coal districts by canal, and independently of all that is consumed by the thousands of ma nufactories which are congregated in the neighbourhood of our inland mines, no less than 5,822,561 tons were shipped coastways in 1834, whilst 615,255 tons were exported in the same year to foreign countries, principally to Holland, Guern sey and Jersey, America, the West Indies, France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, and Portugal. COLBURN'S MODERN NOVELISTS.—Mr. Horace Smith's celebrated novel of " Brambletye House" graces the June Number of the above new and cheap collection of the best fictions of our living writers. The volume i s y;aoeiiished with two engravings by the Finds;, - ,, one of which is an admir able likeness of the author, who gives, in anew preface, a most amusing account of his destroying the first work he had pre sented to his publisher, and his substitution of the historical romance of " Brambletyo House," which, it will be remem bered, so completely divided the public attention with Sir Walter Scott's " Woodstock," both of which works appeared about the same time, KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE 'KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF ST. MARY, LEICESTER. This was an appeal against the order of two magistrates, for the removal of a pauper named John Cuthbert. The pauper was born in the parish of St. Mary, Leicester, to which he had been removed from another parish in the same county, by the order in question. The appellants had shewn that the pauper's mother had acquired a settlement in another pa rish, and that therefore the order should be quashed; but the Magistrates at session had confirmed the order of the two Justices. Mr. HUMPHREYS now appeared to support the order. The appellants had no right to come before the Court and seek to quash the order of session, as they had not shewn where the settlement of the pauper's father had been ; because the rule was, that the settlement of the father must be exhaus ted before that of the mother can come into question. In the case of the King v. the Inhabitants of St. Matthew, Bethnal green, the rule laid down was, that the child's settlemen t follows that of the father, if the father's settlement can be found, and no recourse shall be had to the mother's settlement till that of the father can be traced no farther." Now the appellants had not made any attempt to trace the father's set tlement, and therefore the mother's could not be acted upon. For these reasons he submitted that the order ought to be confirmed. Mr. HILLIARD (with whom was Mr. WutTE) for the ap pellants, contended that the respondents were placed in 11 very serious dilemma. If the husband had no settlement , then that of the wife was good in law ; and if the husband had a settlement, then the onus rested with them of tracing it out, and acting upon it. Instead of this—instead of sending the pauper to his father's parish, they had sent it to the wrong one, that of the child's birth and settlement, which was the weakest of all settlements. It was a maxim of law, that ds non apparentibus et non existentibus eadem est ratio, and , therefore, where there was no settlement of the father proved* the law presumed that the father had no settlement, and there fore:that of the mother must stand goad. Mr. WHITE followed on the same side. Lord DENMAN, in delivering the judgment of the Court, said his first impression had been, that according to the rule laid down in the case quoted by Mr. Humphreys, of the King v. the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, it was incum bent on the appellants to show the father's settlement, or at at►Y rate to show that the father's settlement could not be found• But it appeared that to the prima facie case of the respell dents, that the parish of St. Mary was the birth settlement of the child, the appellants had opposed the prima facie case of the mother's settlement having been acquired in another parish ; and as the birth settlement was the lowest and weak est, that of the mother must stand good, if not opposed by a stronger, that of the father. On these grounds the Court thought the Session had not done right, and, therefore the order in this case must be quashed. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY•) lIUSSEY V. FIELD. Lord ABINGER gave judgment in this case, at the sittings of the Court. It was an action brought by the plaintiff for an infringement of his franchise in the Ferry from Haverford West to Pembroke. At the trial a verdict was found for the plaintiff upon one count, and for the defendant on all the other- A rule for a new trial had been obtained on the part of tbe plaintiff, and after cause being shown against it, the Co,ur t took time to consider the question. It appeared that the plain" tiff was the Ferryman on two ferries on the same river, and the defendant had put on a bog, and carried a passenger to Hoby point. The passenger, after being in the boat, told the hof who conducted it, that he was going to Pembroke, the road to which was by that which went from the plaintiff' Ferry. There were two points; the first was, whethe r the defendant was bound by the actions of his serval —that was so clear as to require no consideration, an if so, whether the taking of the passenger in question was . 11 breach of the franchise of the plaintiff. The Court eon° . dered that there had been a struggle to keep back evidence et the trial, and they would not allow him to benefit from it. T he Rule was discharged. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SHEARN. Our readers may recollect this case, which has been fre quently reported in the columns of The Sun. It was the cag e of a French ship, transhipping goods for the purpose of smug' glint at sea, but within three miles of the shore of Gr eat Britain. At the trial for the condemnation of the vessel, Mr. JAR vill raised a point of law, in order to settle whether the ship could be condemned if she had completed her then voyage. The LORD CHIEF BARON said the Court had given die statute every consideration, and were of opinion that it re. ferred only to the voyage in which the transhipment tc,ok place, and the vessel after that was free if it then escaped,.
