A Special Court of the Commissioners of Sewers for the city and liberties of Westminster, was held yester day, at one o'clock, at the Seweri , office, Greek-street, Soho, for the purpose of hearing parties who appealed against the presentments of the Jury for the Ranelagh and Counters Creek Districts. T. L. DONALDSON, Esq., havin g taken the Chair, Mr. BICKNELL was called in, an d said he appeared on behalf of the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, and objected to the assessment—lst, That the hospital was not assessable, and that it derived no benefit from the sewers ; 2d, that if assessable, the assessment was too high ; and, 3d, that if assessable at all, they were not so for the chapel and the wards ; and, should the Commissioners be against him on all these points, they had assessed the rate in such a manner as to preclude the possibility of trying the question, inasmuch as they had assessed a perm not residing either in the chapel or the wards. If the Commissioners thought it right to persist in the assessment, the question must be tried, and as he wished to try it, on its merits, he was desirous that the assessment should be made in such a way as to enable the question to be tried. He would give every information that should enable them to ascertain on whom the rate ought to be assessed. Chelsea Hospital was not assessable to the poor-rates for the wards and chapel, and therefore not to the sewers-rate. The case was different from the Somerset House case. Mr. LESLIE said the Somerset House case was much alluded to, and had been much misunderstood. • The goods of the Clerk were taken, not because he was in occupancy of the premises, but because he was assessed to the poor-rates. • The CHAIRMAN said the Court had always held that they had the power to go upon any premtscs and levy for the sewers-rate. All the Court wanted was, that the case should be decided upon fair grounds. Mr. Bicknell would be put into communication with the Solicitors of the Court, and the question would be put in a train of being tried fairly. There were tw'i ways of trying it. Mr. BICKNELL thought the best way would be to remove the proceedings of this Court to the Queen's Beech by certiorari. The SOLICITOR s aid that appellants would be re eluded from. e.ief unless they traversed. Mr. LESLIE said that it was coming out now that parties might traverse. It ought to have been men tioned before. Mr. BICKNELL gage notice he would traverse. The SOLICITOR said that unless a party came before this Court, and submitted to its jurisdiction, or finless they claimed a traverse, and went to another jury, they were precluded from relief, and the question could not be tried as an action for trespass. Mr. ADEY did not agree in that opinion ; he doubted whether the question of law could be tried in an action of traverse. Mr. LESLIE wished to know whether the Solicitor meant that unless a person came before the Court on some such occasion as the present, he was precluded all remedy ? The SOLICITOR said that Lord Ellenborough had given it as his opinion that unless a traverse were claimed the party admitted he was liable to taxation. Mr. LESLIE wished to know if it were not possible that a jury called out on the traverse might refuse to present the property, seeing the litigation it might —EFFECTS of the PROTECTIVE SYSTEM. 6.

'TOLL AND'S BALSAM OF SPRUCE, the n ewly-dscovered remedy for COUG H S, COLDS, INFLUENZAI ,INCIPIENT ASTHMA, and CON SUMPTION, Medical Science is daily producing new wonders, and among the discoveries which take place none are more deserving of public approbation than a remedy for those complaints which, in this variable climate, are so productive of fatal consequences to the comfort and lives of the public as Coughs and Colds. This Extraordinary Remedy relieves the most distressing symptoms in a few hours, and a little perseverance in its use will, In every case, effect a permanent cure. Coughs and Colds, accompanied by a difficulty of breathing, sorer.:'ss and rawnesc pf the chest, impeded expectoration, sore throat, as,;.l feverish symptiaps, will be quickly subdued, while its use will assi:redly prevent aoriagelption from this prolific occasion. The SOLICITOR said, certainly that was the law• Mr. LESLIE thought it was their bounden duty to inform those who came there, that the first step for them to take was to claim a traverse, and another jury might relieve them from all the difficulty they had got into. Mr. BICKNELL wished the Court to furnish him with the ordinary form of traverse, or if they prefer red it he would give them a notice of traverse in five minutes. The CHAIRMAN wished to know what part of the rate he appealed against. Mr.BICKNELL—The part affecting that quarter of the Hospital which was not before rated, viz. the chapel and the wards, amounting to 3,3811. It was then ordered that Mr. Bicknell be permitted to inspect the form of traverse used on a former occasion. Mr. ADEY thought the traverse could not dispose of the legal question it the property was rateable or not. Mr. LESLIE thought a new jury might be of opinion that that property ought not to be rated, and that, for the present time, would be decisive of the question. Mr. ADEY denied that a jury would take upon them selves the province of a Judge and decide the point of law, and, even if they did so, the Commissioners must raise the question in another way. Mr. LESLIE—The law says th., way of raising that question is by a traverse, when the question would be tried in open Court. The question is between the pub lic and the jury —the Commissioners have nothing to do with it. Supposing the traverse jury find that to be a bad presentment, it would vitiate the whole proceedings. —J. Hughes and J. Llewellin, grocers, Twyn Carno, mouthshire—C. Sylvester and J.

Mr. GUNNING, on t h e part of St. George's Hos pital, being call e d i n , s t a t e d his object mos to re quest time to cons id er t h e question, and in all proba bility they should b e gu id e d by what was done by the other hospital, a nd mos t p ro bably they might come to some arrangement. He had many objections, but he would waive them now, and merely ask for time. His wish was that all the hospitals should act together. Mr. ADEY suggested that it would be better for Mr. Gunning to let this presentment go under protest, which would not preclude him from trying the question. He did not wish to go to the trouble of a trial. Let a decree go against him, and if other cases should go against them, they could relieve him from the decree. Mr. LESLIE thought Mr. Adey had better read up his law before he came t h ere t o give opinions. It was not in the power of the Court to relieve parties from a decree, and Mr. Adey's law was wrong. Mr. ADEY said he should not answer such a ridiculous observation. Mr. LESLIE would ask the solicitor if the Court could relieve parties from a decree. The SOLICITOR said they could not. Mr. LESLIE said that showed what Mr. Adey's law was worth ; he knew nothing of it. Mr. ADEY said the object was to prevent the rule being made ; and if all these traverses were tried, it would never be made. If the Court of Queen's Bench on a trial decided they could not make the rate, the Court could relieve him after decree. Mr. LESLIE—But the law says the party must tra verse to entitle him to relief. The SOLICITOR said he had not quite understood the question. '['he Court could give relief after de cree, but not grant a traverse after decree. In the case of Chelsea Hospital, Mr. BICKNELL presented a protest against the pre sentment and traversed it, and that day fortnight was fixed as the day for trying the question ; the Court to meet at 10 o'clock in the morning. Mr.AnEv moved that the question as to St. George's Hospital be adjourned to that day three weeks. Captain BAYNE seconded it. Mr. Mur.r..ms thought no distinction ought to be made ; one party had put in a traverse, and now they ought not to grant time to others who did not traverse. Mr. LESLIE thought that all proceedings ought to be adjourned until the traverse jury had met and de cided, and he should move as an amendment that the further consideration of all matters relating to the pre sentment of the Ranelagh district should be adjourned until the traverse jury should have given their decision. Mr. MuLLirts seconded the amen d ment .

The law of Henry VIII. said that no one should be exempt from the sewers'-rate, but that all property should be assessed. Such should be the answer given to all applicants. He should sup port the amendment. Mr. MULLINS thought that the statutes alluded to by the last Commissioner, had nothing to do with the ques tion of the p resent p resent ment.

He then withdrew. Mr. FARR, solicitor to the Ordnance, appeared to appeal against the assessment on the Hyde Park Maga zine and Barracks. He objected to the rate, on the ground that the Magazine was unconnected with any sewer, and not occupied by any individual, and there fore was not rateable. The CHAIRMAN said the benefit derived from the sewers might be remote. The roads leading to the Magazine wore drained. Mr. ADEY—Do you mean to traverse, Mr. Farr? Mr. FARR—I do not. I merely wish to submit the question to the Court ; and if they should decide against me, I shall submit. The CHAIRMAN said there was no doubt it was rateable. Mr. FARR would then submit, but he considered, being an uninhabited building, it was rated too high. With respect to the Magazine Barracks, he should withdraw his appeal, Lfter the decision which had just been come to. With respect to the assessment of 531. 103. on the Cavalry Barracks, he objected to it, on the ground that it was in connection with the new drain in Sloane-street. The CHAIRMAN—The assessment was quite uncon nected with the question of the new sewer ; if it had never been proposed, the rate would have been the same. Mr. Farr then withdrew. The CHAIRMAN said that as questions of great legal interest would arise when the traverse question came on, he thought it would be advisable that a gentleman of some legal attainments should take the chair. He should therefore propose that Mr. Broughton take the chair. _ _ _ Mr. BROUGHTON thought the proper way would be to appoint a legal assessor to the chair, who would be responsible for his opinion. He should be happy to render any assistance ro his brother Commissioner, but his opinion was decidedly against the legality of the presentment. Mr. LESLIE doubted the power of the Court to ap point an assessor. The question was one entirely for the jury to determine, and not for the Court. A counsel coming there was not a member of the Court, and the employing one was a virtual acknowledgement , of their own incompetence. The more legal opinions they got the greater was the mess they got into.—(A laugh.) Mr. BROUGHTON said they had a clear power to em ploy and pay an assessor. He would not decide the thing, nor take it out of the hands of the jury. The jury would have to decide on certain faets, but they would have to take the law from the Court. They should re member that it always looked well with the Queen's Bench to have acted under the advice of counsel. Mr. ADEY said the Chairman having charged the last jury, he thought it advisable that he shoud now have the assistance of an assessor. Who was to answer the arguments addressed by the appellant to the jury ? He thought a barrister acting as assessor would be the most proper person. The CHAIRMAN appealed to the Court to relieve him from a responsibility which he felt was too much for him. Mr. MULLINS wished to know if Mr. Broughton would take the chair. Mr. BaouctrroN thought the constitution of the Court ought not to be altered, but that the Chairman do continue in the chair. _ _ _ The CHAIRMAN said the constitution of the Court would not be altered by Mr. Broughton taking the chair. Ile wished the Court would give him leave of absence for that day, and ask Mr. Broughton to occupy his place. Mr. NI ULLINS Slid he could not conceive the necessity of an asssessor—the Court was a Court of Justice. They did not appear as defendants, and therefore did not want a counsel to reply for them,—they were to administer justice as judges. It would be derogatory to the Court to appoint an assessor. Mr. ADEY said that although they sat there as Jus tices they represented the rate-payers ; they did not decide the question, the jury did. How was the ques tion to be put to the jury, it the Chairman did not put it properly. A CONIMISSIONER—A Commissioner might. Mr. ADEY—That is it, I want to have an assessor appointed to avoid discussion before the jury. Mr. LESLIE was glad that the object of appointing an assessor was avowed. It was to gag the Commis sioners. —(Cries of Order and Shame, and great con fusion.) It would be delegating the authority to some paid m in, and if they could not execute their duties themselves, they had better resign the situations. Mr. BlioucturoN--The authority is not delegated. Mr. LESLIE—What does he conic here for then Mr. BROUGHTON—To answer questions, if asked.— (A laugh.) Mr. LESLIE wanted to know what need they had of a counsel—they would only be getting further into the mire, and he hoped that the relief they would get from a new jury would be to throw the whole of this overboard. Mr. MULLINS protested against the doctrine that the charge of the Chairman should be submitted to the jury until it had been approved of by the Court. Mr. WlLLoucticv thought they ought to grant to the Chairman the assistance he required, by granting him the aid of an assessor, and he should move that Mr. Ogle be appointed the assessor. Mr. Mum.itss decidedly objected to the appoint ment of a❑ assessor. This was a special meeting, and no business could be entertained that was not in the business-paper. Notice should have been given of it. lie doubted if it could be put. Mr. BROUGIITON had been misunderstood by the Commissioners over the way. All this argument went to the power of the Court to appoint an assessor ; when they sat judicially they must have but one voice, or it would be impossible for the jury to act. He thought the question could be put without any broach of the rules. 'l'hc question was one merely of detail as to facilitating the conduct of the business before them. A long discussion ensued on the point of order, which ended by the Court deciding that the resolution could be put, because it was merely carrying out the busi ness on the paper. On the question being put, Mr. I - Law KES said he wished to know what an assessor was. It appeared to him that it was it barrister to be employed to defend the Commissioners. He did not believe the rate-payers would like to have their money employed for such a purpose, and he thought the Chairman was perfectly competent to perform the duties required of him. Mr. LESLIE said that on another point of order he did not think the question could go on. Mr. Bicknell had been asked, and said that he would not employ counsel, aid now they wanted in his absence to appoint a barrister themselves. Nothing could be more inde cent than to appoint Mr. Ogle, who had already given an opinion on the subject contrary to that of the Lord Chief Justice. 'rile CHAIRMAN said they appointed him as an as sessor, not as a❑ advocate. Mr. Willoughby's motion was then put and carried, on a division of 14 to 5. Mr. TAYr.on, Deacon of Paddington-green Chapel, appealed against the rate, on the ground of excessive rental. The CHAIRMAN submitted that the rate should be lowered. Mr. MuLLitss doubted if they had the power to do so. Mr. LESLIE would remind the Court that this was the first case which had occurred after the presentment had been traversed. The question was then put that the chapel be rated at 80/. and carried. Mr. CORNEL appeared for Chelsea Church and for the Board of Guardians, to object to the rate. He was proceeding to argue the question on principle, when he was interupted by Mr. ADEY, who said they could not suffer any one to argue the principle of the question. Mr. MuLuNs—What is the meaning of to hear parties then in the notices? The CHAIRMAN said the principle of assessing churches the Court would not entertain ; it would merely entertain objections to the amount. He would advise the applicant to claim a traverse. Mr. CORNEL was not in a position to determine whether he would claim a traverse. Mr. LESLIE—The public were invited to come, by the Court saying they would hear them. Why was not the public told they must traverse, before they came there? Mr. CORNEL wished to know whether the assess ment would remain in its present shape, exactly as to the double presentment for Chelsea church. The CHAIRMAN—It will. Mr. CORNEL, after some discussion, claimed a tra verse, which was ordered to be heard before the same jury as the other. Mr. UPTON, solicitor for the London and Westmin ster Cemetery Company, appealed against the rate, on the ground of overcharge ; they were rateable only for the profitable occupation of the land, and he could show that, up the present time, they had realised no profits, and therefore he thought the assessment ought not to be more than it was before the land was a ceme tery. They had been assessed to the Poor-rates at ,0 00 / . a year, and on his representing the case to the Vestry, it was reduced to 245/. per annum. The CHAIRMAN proposed that the assessment should be reduced to 245/. qur- A CONIMISSIONEK proposed to examine the veyors on the point. On inquiry it was found the Surveyors had left. t Mr. LESLIE thought they had acted wisely here, /// PRICE sd. They made oath before the Jury that the rating of the property was 2,300/., and now this gentleman said it was only worth 245/. ; and on his representation they were about to alter a presentment made by a Jury, after hearing evidence on oath. He should not vote at all on the question. Mr. Mul.uss thought the Solicitor ought to be asked the Court could interfere. The SOLICITOR thought it would be hardly safe for the Court to interfere to give relief in this instance, without putting the party on their traverse. Mr. TiAwKEs thought the profits should be rate.], and not the buildings. Mr. WHITE waved that the rata should be reduced to 2-15/. On a division, there appeared— For the reduction Against it Mr. LESLIE considered that decision pat the whole rate in jeopardy. The hearing of the appellants was postponed to Friday next. The Clerk then read a statement of a deficiency in the accounts of one of the collectors, and stating, that, in reply to an application to the solicitor of one of his sureties, it had been stated, that if he were now allowed to make up his account, the money would be forth- coming. Mr. ADEY proposed that the clerk should have the books made up, and apply to his surety for any defi ciency that might be proved, which was agreed to. The Court then broke up, at a quarter after six o'clock.

In our last we inserted an advertisement of the anni versary dinner of the Glasgow Renfrewshire Society, mentioning that the members would dine in the Trades' Hall, and that Professor Wilson, of Edin burgh, would preside on the occasion. Were we to allow such an announcement to pass without a word of comment, we would be doing ourselves a gross injustice, and suppressing those warm emotions of the heart we never fail to feel when the very name of that great man, who has so often delighted and enraptured us by his writings, is mentioned. Well do we remember him about 1805, when just returned from Oxford !—and what days and hours of delight has he not afforded all Europe betwixt and that period ! Who can ever forget the chastened and classical beauty of his Isle of Palms? Who can ever forget the rap ture with which they have pored over the sublime poetry of the Noctes Ambrosianee, when Christopher North, in the meridian of his greatness, and rioting in his un quenchable genius, shouldered his deathless crutch ! So far as we recollect, our townsmen never had an opportunity of listening before to the Learned Professor, and there is no than in Great Britain we would rather see and hear in Glasgow, unless it be, indeed, the immortal Wellington !—The Renfrew shire gentlemen have done themselves infinite honour by their selection of a Chairman, and they deserve the warmest thanks of the community for being instru mental in affording us so rich a treat, as we predict the ensuing meeting will prove. Our rising and clever friend, Mr. Maxwell, younger, of Dargavel, is to do the duties of croupier, and we know he will perform his part with gusto, recollecting always that— 'Tis right for good wine-bibbing people, Not to let the jug pace round the board like a cripple ; But gaily to chat while discussing their tipple 1" —.Glasgow Constitutional. :re .:j:n r.~~ :.,..+.... 'sue...-_ ._-~ HINTS TO GRAND JURORS." The following, which we find in the Manchester Ad vertiser (whether original tht rc we do nut know), is of infinite importance, and, if well considered, admirably calculated to save time, trouble, and expense. All young grand jurors, that is to say grand jurors so sum moned for the first time, or who attribute to themselves not only powers which do not legally or legitimately be long to their office, but a wonderful talent I, r legisla tion, choose, much to the annoyance of their fellows (whose knowledge and experience render their exhibi tions exceedingly tiresome and ridiculous), to endeavour to try the prisoners who are brought before them, and against whom they have to hear only ex parts evidence to an extent sufficient to enable them to make up their • minds as to whether that cc parte evidence is sufficiently strong to let the accused but absent parties be put upon their trial before a petit jury. The subjoined hints place the duties of the grand juror in so plain and clear a light that we are quite sure, if we obtain the thanks of no other persons, we shall gain those of the chairmen of quarter sessions, who are often, with their brethren on the bench, kept without their dinners, while the grand jury are puzzling them selves in discussing evidence which they have no busi ness to discuss, and cross-examining witnesses whose plain testimony as to evident facts is all they have to do with : " HINTS. " I. The grand jury are •ot to try the prisoner, but only to ascertain whether there is sufficient presumptive evidence to put the prisoner upon his trial. However, in cases where the person charged has not been sent to trial by a magistrate (that is to say, where he is neither in custody nor out upon bail), then the grand jury should be most careful in their examination of all witnesses. 2. The grand jury on first entering on business should proceed on some of the bills which have on them the fewest number of names, and should send such bills to the Court as soon as found. When the Court are in the possession of three bills, the grand jury should not send any more bills untill they are apprised by the officer attending the grand jury that the Court is trying the last indictment, and then the grand jury should send to the Court all the bills found or thrown out. By sending down single bills (after the first three) the Court may be very inconveniently interrupted in the trial of prisoners. "d. Each witness should first be examined by the foreman, and no other juryman should put a question until such examination by the foreman is ended ; and it would tend to preserve regularity if such last mentioned questions were put to the witnesses through the foreman. " 4. The first witness called should be the prosecutor ; and, although he may not know as much of the trans action as the other witnesses, he can inform the jury which of the witnesses knows most. " 5. In cases of larceny, the person who possesses the property, and who generally is the constable, should he the second witness called. " G. The person who took the prisoner into custody should always be asked what the prisoner said, in an swer to the charge when arrested, and also when he was before the Justice. It frequently happens that the pri soner has confessed his guilt ; but if a question should arise, whether such a confession was obtained by per suasion or threat, the grand jury should find the bill, leaving that question for the decision of the Court and jury. " 7. If the grand jury are satisfied that the prisoner should be tried, although they have examined only a few of the witnesses, it will not be necessary that they should examine all the witnesses ; but no bill should be thrown out without having examined every witness. " 8. Of whatever number the grand jury may con sist, no hill can be found but by 12 at the least. " 9. The grand jury are not usually very strict as to documentary evidence ; they often admit copies where the originals alone are evidence, and sometimes even evidence by parole of a matter which should be proved by written evidence. " 10. It is not essential that the goods stolen should have been found. " 11. If possession of goods charged to have been stolen is proved against a prisoner, the duration of the possession is immaterial ; though it be only momentary, and be instantly relinquished, it is a sufficient possession. " 12 A carrying away of goods is essential, but any the least removal of a chattel from the place which it occupied is a sufficient carrying away. " 13. Although it should be proved that the prisoner is insane, the grand jury must not on that account throw out the bill. _ _ " 14. In cases of doubt as to the law, the foreman of the grand jury should state such doubt to the Court ; and it is desirable that he should go on the bench for that purpose, otherwise stating the question publicly might prejudice the trial. " 15. It is the duty of the foreman to report to the Court, if any juryman absents or misconducts It is rumoured that Mr. Ward, of Northwood, in the Isle of\Vight, will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar a lady attached to the Royal Household. On Thursday, the 31st ult., as Mr. Hallett, a farmer of Bigbury, was returnins: on his way home from Modbury matket, he entered a public-house, where there were several persons sitting, and apparently in perfect harmony. By way of joke, he took from the table a pint of ale belonging to another man with whom ho ( Mr. Hallett) was not on the best of terms, and drank it up, in consequence of which a fight took place, whereby he was so severely bruised that we are sorry to relate he died a few days after.— Western Luminary. THE' WA ITER."—He attributes all virtues to every body, provided they are civil and liberal ; and of Om existence of some vices he has no notion. Gluttony, for instance, with him, is not only inconceivable, but looks very like a virtue. He sees in it only so many more " beefs," and a generous scorn of the bill. As to wine, or almost any other liquor, it. is out of your power to astonish him with the quantity you call for. His " Yes, Sir," is as swift, indifferent, and official, at the fifth bottle as at the first. Reform and other public events he looks upon purely as things in the newspaper, and the news paper as a thing taken in at taverns for gentlemen to read. His own reading is confined to " acci dents and offences," and the advertisements for butlers, which latter he peruses with an admiring fear, not choosing to give up a " certainty." When young he was always in a hurry, and exasperated his mistress by running against the other waiters, and breaking the " neguses." As he gets older he learns to unite swiftness with caution ; declines wasting his breath in immediate answers to calls ; and knows, with a slight turn of his face, and elevation of his voice into what precise corner of the room to pitch his " Coming, Sir." If you told him that, in Shakspere's time, waiters said " Anon, anon, Sir," he would he astonished at the repetition of the same word in one answer, and at the use of three words in stead of two ; and he would justly infer that London couli not have been so large, nor the chop-house so busy in those days. He would drop one of the two syllables of his " Yes, Sir," if he could ; but business and civility will not allow it; and therefore he does what he can by running them together in the swift sufficiency of his " Yezzir." " Thomas ?" " Yezzir." " my steak seldom m Fo s r a) i s n i coming ?" Yczzir." .4 And the pint of Port ?" " zz:r."

I would earnes tly ca ll the etteetion of atefo [ mers ' threuehout th e ki ng dom to this one consideration — namely, that it requires their united strut - Till to carry any cue of the great measures how in agitation. Leeds, for instance, is determined to make " Reform in Parliament" the grand object of their pursuit—G'aseow, the Ballot—Manchester, the Repeal of toe Corn-laws —and so on with the other towns—ell will labour in vain ; whereas, were all to unite in struggling to obtain one single measure, they must be successful. The ques tion is—e bat shall be the first grand meesure on which to unite? Oa this we an have our hobbies, but I put it to any considerate man whether then.. is the slightest chance of uniting, at present, on the Leeds plan of reform ? However good it may be, it a ili 0 quire much time to be made known and appreciated through out the country ; already SOMe of the sturdiest hie fo begin to doubt. the soundness of its principle, and it must be fairly and fully exemined in all its hear ings ; all this can be going on, and the public mind ripening npon it, without making it the first grand mea sure to be obtained. The Bina, however popular and steadily making its way, is still far from exciting that enthusiasm necessary to its success at present. Now only lock at the repeal of the Corn-laws, and see how many things conspire to render this the very first object at which to ; and if it can be shown (as I maintain it can) that Reformers are more united on thi s th an no either of the .other questions—that it has already ob tained a larger measure of support, both in and out of the Ilouse—and that its delay inflicts a greater amount of suffering—then is it the bounden duty of each to sink his own peculiar view, for the time, and do his u;-- most to remove this intolerable anti oppressive burden, Consider : The petitioners last Session were a million and a half! More than for all other oljects put to gether. The agitation has been kept up with unceasin g activity by the League ever since, and great progress rea he among the people. The pressing urgency of the case is shown from the fact, that the American, Pt us sian, and Brazilian Tariffs are all just expiring, and on our obtaining the repeal of our Corn-laws will depend how far they will continue to admit our goods. We may never have such another opportunity—it may too late ! This, I conceive, is a strong point, for as yet it can hardly be applied with equal force to the other questions to which I have alludeti. Next, as to the 'Ministry. Until we are united how can we expect them to bring forward either of these mea sures ? Oa the repeal, or at least the mod,fication of the Corn-laws, they arc nearly all agreed—Lord Mel bourne and Mr. Shiel are, I think, the only two who have opposed inquiry, and the (osier evidently kayos himself at liberty to agree to an alteration whenever be may see it to be necessary. Who carried the Penny Postage ? Hear the Ministerial Globe of this day, re ferring to ih Committee on the Import Duties ;id se y , , The bet'. friend of the Government must be most de sirous that subjects of this kind should be forced on them by the utmost possible pressure front without.' The Penny Postage was in this manner pressed upon official adoption. No Government could well have beet, expected to effect such a change without the previous sanction of a strongly pronounced public opinion." Can language be plainer than this ? It seems to say, "If you want us to adopt any great measure, agree among yourselves, and enable us to carry it by giving us that support which alone can render our efforts successful t while you are divided we are powerless." Such I ap. prebend to be the case in the present evenly-balanced state of parties. Public opinion must .be concontratod on one thing at a time, in order to accomplish any thing. You, Mr. Editor, are entitled to the warmest thanks of every honest man for the manner in which yoo have exerted your indaence on this subject, and 1 do hope you will continue to strive for the accomplishment of that concentration of effort amongst Reformers which I think I have shown is indispensable to sueews, and which, if brouglt to bear on the repeal of the Corn-laws, might even this Session sweep them from the statute bock —I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, A MEMBER OF THE LEAGUE, Jan. 1;), 1810. THE LATE ROBERT FARTHING BEAUCHAMP, ESQ. Loci: —The late Mr. Beauchamp was one of the children of a poor farmer, named Farthing, at Kingston, near Taunton, renting a small estate of the late E. Jef flies, Esq., of Cothelstone, who, compassionating the extent of his tenant's family, undertook to provide one of the sons with a situation. For this purpose he re quested his son-in-law, Mr. Esdaile, then a banker of this town, to use his influence with his friend Sir Ben jamin Hammett, Bart., to get his protege appointed, on the first opportunity, to a clerkship in the London bank, of which Sir Benjamin was one of the partners. A vacancy soon occurring, Sir Benjamin sent a let ter to 'l'. Woodforde, Esq., partner in the bank 1 of Heminett and Co„ in this town, requesting him ! to pay the hearer (young Farthing) 10/., and to equip him with suitable habiliments for his destined ci ,l tuation This was done, and the youth dismissed with an additional gratuity of half-a-crown, accom ' pained by friendly admonitions appropriate to the. situation he was about to fill. In his station in the banking firm of Messrs. Eidaile and Co., the young clerk acquitted himself of his duties in so satisfactory a manner, that he was advanced at every opportunity, and after remaining with his employers about twenty years, he engaged himself to Mr. Morland, of the banking house of Ransom and Co., to fill a responsible post in that establishment. Here Mr. Farthing was so well entitled to the respect and confidence of his employers, and so particularly endeared himself to Mr. Morland, at whose table he was a frequent. guest, and whose children he was accustomed to take charge of when they went to the opera or other places of public amusement, that the earliest opportunity was sought to appoint hint chief actuary of the firm. Froquont correspondence and occasional interviews with Mr. Roths. child, the millionaire, enabled him, by the share of a m a . tional loan, to realiza 1,500/. ; and soon after, the pur chase of opera boxes brought him a clear gain of 2,0001, (Mier judicious speculations also prosperously revealed themselves. Amongst the most bountiful fa vours of fortune, however, was that derived front Ilia assiduities to an elderly lady, who, keeping a large ac count at Ransom's bank, was in the habit of employing Mr. Farthing to receive her dividends arid otherwise to manage her finances. On her death, his useful office* [ were rewarded by her bequeathing the whole of her pre ; perty (amounting to about 70,000/.) to Mr. Farthing. This lady, whose maiden name was Beauchamp, was • the widow of Mr. Hudson, an opulent brickmaker in or near London. The will was disputed by her relatives, but its validity was established by the decision of the Court in which it was impeached, and Mr. Farthing, having taken the name of Beauchamp in addition to Ina own, retired from London, and a few years ago pur chased the house and grounds at \Valford, whe re h e re sided till his death, which happened last week, in the , sixty-fourth year of his age. Mr. Beauchamp has kit no children, and after pro viding for his wife, and relatives who reside in humble life at Kingston, and giving many handsome legacies, has devisi:d the whole of his landed property, estimated at 60,0001., to his friend and neighbour, Riehard King Meade K;tig,, li , q., of North Petherton, who, with J. Squire, Esq., jun., whose father was formerly of this town, are executors of his will. To AI r. King also the testator has bequeathed the house and all his plate and furniture after the death of his widow, upon whom he has settled :3,0001. per annum, and has appointed Mr. King and Mr. Squire his residuary legatees. The aggregate value of the property of which Mr. Beau champ died possessed, is estimated at 190,000 t, Taunton Courier.

It is supposed to have had its origin in the chimney of one of the chambers, where a fire had been lighted early in the day, and which is believed to have ignited a jackdaw's nest in the upper part, where a ehink eomrc4uLleated with an adjoining closet. Every effort was made to arrest the progress of the flames ; but Risk was the fury of too devouring element, that in a short time the roof felt in, and soon the whole house was a mass of burning ruins. Through the praiseworthy efforts of the labourers of the adjoining villages, nearly all the furniture was saved. The Spilsby engine was soon on the spot. _. Lincoln Gn,:ette.
