Great numbers of the proprietors are determined not to sign the new deed, unless there be an alteration for the better, whilst others are resolved upon requiring them to wind up its a ffairs. It is reported that Mr. J. T. CAMPBELL has relinquished his seat as a Director, for which a Sen timent of sorrow is expressed, and it is observed, the direction of the Bank is reduced to two Mer chants, two Lawyers, a Collector of Customs, a military Captain, and one of the Medical Staff. At the meeting of the Court of Proprietors, for the bal loting of Directors, a great many angry epithets were us ed.' Mr. - WENTWORTH, as Chairman, refused to take the sense of the meeting, or put to vote the proposed electio n of Mr. RHINE; high words ensued between D r. REDFERN and Mr. D. COOPER. The Doctor ifflye the lie to the mention of private meetings hav ing bee n held, they were retorted by the former, 'Lnd order was proclaimed from the Chair. Such a n Uproarious meeting, it is observed, was scarcely e ver witnessed. The meeting then adjourned to the n ett day, when Mr. A. K. MACKENZIE was elected c ashier by a majority of 248 to 1. This latter gen tiernan, it seems, has incurred the displeasure of Dr. R EDFERN, who made several charges against him, and it appears that the Doctor was desirous to bring jn his brother and oust Mr. M. from the situation. G overnor DARLisc'had been much indisposed, so reh so as to prevent his leaving Paramatta. This is represented to be caused by his "remitting attention to business. A novel oc curence took place at the Police Office, in which the print er (GEORGE LITTLE) of the Gazette O ffice, was charged with printing a Racing Calendar With his name, without having had any printing Press or types registered in the office of the Colonial Office, and, fined, but which the Clerk of the Turf Club refused to pay. The Calendars having been printed by his orders, it was admitted that. LITTLE had no intention to infringe the law. It is said Mr. BATE produced 200 lbs. of raw silk, the pro duce of the colony, and the result of his patriotic exertions. It is mentioned in two Papers, as a singular fact, that prisoners under Scotch sentences of transpor tation are entitled to emancipation at the end of se ven years from the date of the charter of the ves elvrhich conveys them to the colony. This pro valon in favour of Scotch prisoners is, we are in fried, contained in the Act of Union. It is said 'ti l t Port Macquarie is on the eve of abandonment, 1 Penal settlement; and, it is asserted, a plan has een recommended to the Governor to declare that port a free" settlement, by the establishment of coi n ly for the cultivation of sugar and tobacco, 4 ' l ' Which it appears to be admirably calculated, and ( f which samples have already been raised that will : g .le With the best productions of the Brazils in qua 'ltY and colour.

A very numerous and respectable Meeting of persons, connected with the Shipping Interest, was held, this day, pursuant to advertisement, at the City of London Tavern. - LYALL, Esq. in the Chair. The business of the day commenced by the Secretary, SimoN Coca, Esq. reading a report, which stated that the representations of the Committee, appointed by a General Meeting had procured several important alterations to be made in the law, which pressed injuriously on the Ship. ping Interest, during the year 1826. Subsequently, a petition was presented to Parliament, setting forth the depressed state of the Shipping Interest, and several communications were made to the Board of Trade with respect to various regulations, which were found inconve nient and injurious to the Shipowners. The discussions between his Majesty's Government and the Board of Trade were still pending, and the Committee expressed their confidence that his Majesty's Ministers were anxi ous and willing to afford every relief to the Shipping Interest, which was consistent with the welfare of other classes and of the community at large. several recom mendations of the Committee, on the subject of quaran tine and of the exportation of coals, bad been adopted and carried into effect. The Report having been read, The CHAIRMAN shortly addressed the meeting. He said the Committee had not been unmindful of the inte rests of the Shipowners during the last year.' Twelve months ago, the Society was in debt to the amount of 7001. but nearly 6001. had been since paid off, and a sum of only 110/. or 150/. was now to be accounted for. A SHIPOWNER said he did not know what was meant by the society. He knew of the existence of no society, and attended here merely as a Shipowner. The CHAIRMAN said the society of Shipowners of the City of London had been formed thirteen years ago under various regulations, which, if necessary, he would read to the meeting. Mr. GRAY complained that the Committee which had produced so much benefit to the Shipping Interest, had not been properly supported. They wanted funds, and it was well known by experience that representations to Government did not come with such weight from any individual as from a society. He thought a debt of gratitude was due to the ommittee,,and would propose the thanks of the meeting to them for their. exertions. The CHAIRMAN thought it better in the first instance, to dispose of the report, as it was stated, several important alterations had been made in the quarantine laws, but they were not specifically mentioned in the report, at the desire of Government, lest we should alarm the Govern meats of other countries for the health of their subjects. As to the maritime laws, a bill for the amend ment of those laws was prepared, and as soon as it was printed, would be circulated amongst the Shipping Interest. The Chairman concluded by reading the regulations under which the Society was formed. Mr. URQUHART did not think tke Society bad gone to work on a proper principle. Mr. YOUNG said, that, according to the requisition, the real object of the meeting was to consider whether the Society of Shipowners should be dissolved, or whether it should be re-organized. It had been found impossible to collect the funds necessary for carrying on the ex penses of such a Society ; and he therefore con sidered the Society to be virtually extinct. The course which he meant to propose was a declaratory resolution stating that the society was extinct. He then proposed that a Provisional Committee should be ap pointed to consult with the Shipowners of the different outports, and to consider whether a society of British Shipowners should not be organised on a permanent basis. He thought that the advantages to be derived from a s everal association of Shipowners, were too evi dent to need any arguments in favour of the adop tion of a resolution to that effect. There were cogent reasons why the Shipowners of the outports should be united with the Shipowners of London, as a society formed by the great body of British Shipowners would be the only society which would carry weight and permanence with it. Mr. Young concluded by moving several resolutions, the first of which stated that the subscriptions of the society having been withdrawn and reduced, the society was vir tually extinct. _ _ 11fr. traQunitur seconded the resolution. After a ' few words from Mr. MARSHAL and Mr. Ntcnou.s, in testimony of the services of Mr. Lyall and Mr. Cock (the Secretary of the Committee), the motion was carried. The following resolution was then proposed by Mr. MARSHAL, and seconded by Mr. DAWSON That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that a General Association of the Shipewners of Great Britain, for the protection of their common interests, is at all times highly essential, and that in the present depressed and almost ruined state of the British Shipping Interest, such an asso• ciation, founded on a basis calculated to ensure a constant and efficient attention to all questions in which British maritime interests are involved, and to secure the cordial support and assistance of the great body of Shipowners, is indispensible for the preservation of that interest from the destruction with which it is threatened." After a few words from Mr. Urquhart, in condemna tion of the proceedings of the Committee, which he said had merely acted as the tool of Government, the Resolu tion was put and carried. The following resolution was then proposed by Mr. Gray " That for the purpose of forming a code of regulations, for the formation of an extended Shipowners' Society, em bracing a provision for an adequate representation of the principle outports in the central Committee in London, a Provisional Committee be now appointed, and that the said committee be requested to endeavour to ascertain how far reliance may be placed on such general concurrence, and pecuniary support, as could alone render any society efficient to the attainment of the objects contemplated in its establishment, and afford a reasonable expectation of securing its permanency." After some further observations from the CHAIRMAN, Mr. YOUNG, and different gentlemen present, the resolu tion was also carried, and a Provisional Committee named. A Resolutio n was passed condemnatory of the late alte rations in the Navigation Laws, which was carried by acclamation. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and Secre tary, and the meeting adjourned.

A meeting of the Inhabitants of the above Ward was this day held in the School-room, in Peter's-street, to con sider of the best means of obtaining relief from the mono poly of the supply of Gas in the Ward, whereby they are subject to much higher prices for their lights than in the adjoining districts without the city. Sir R. C. GLYNN, the Alderman of the Ward, took the Chair. Mr. CORDELL then addressed the meeting and said, he had a series of resolutions to propose relative to the supply of gas to the Ward of Bishopsgate, and in doing so he would detain them but a very short time. He was himself not at all interested in the matter, for he was not a consumer of gas, and in bringing the matter forward for their consideration, he wished to be understood, that he imputed no blame to the Commissioners of Sewers, al though by the contract into which they had entered with the chartered Gas Company, the Ward was now paying from 25 to 50 per cent. more than was paid for gas by the neighbouring districts, and upon the whole 1,5001. per annum above what they could be supplied for by the Inde pendent Gas Company, if the Commissioners of the Sewers would give them leave to lay down their pipes in the Ward. Whatever reasons the Commissioners of Sewers might have for continuing the sole supply to the Chartered Company, the inhabitants had certainly a right to com plain when they found themselves paying largely for that which they might have at a reduced rate. Mr. C. then read the resolutions, which were to the following effect : First, That it was the opinion of the meeting, that the Monopoly in Gas was unjust and impolitic, fixing as it did an unnecessary tax of 1,5001. per annum upon the Inha bitants of the Ward of Bishopsgate. Secondly, That it ought to be abolished, and that the Inhabitants of the Ward ought to be allowed to have their lights upon the same terms as their neighbours, and Thirdly, That a Petition shall be presented to the Court of Common Council, praying that the Inde pendent Gas Company might have leave to carry their pipes through the Ward. Mr. ARITHORPE seconded the Resolutions. He com plained that the Chartered Company, in their proceedings, wereboth oppressive and unjust, for, in those cases where _a tradesman was unfortunate in business, they refused to come in with the rest of the creditors, but insisted upon the full amount, the same as a landlord. When the City formerly petitioned the Commissioners of Sewers upon the subject, a surveyor was appointed to examine the matter, 'and the petition was rejected; but that surveyor was himself one of the Chartered Gas Company.—( Hear, hear.)—When people were called upon to fulfil public duties which were not consistent with their private interests, it was not much to be wondered at if the former were neglected. Mr. DIXON suggested that it should be thrown open to any Company, and not confined to the Independentpas Company, or that and the Chartered Company might subsequently unite, and then the inhabitants would be worse off than before. Thai company had offered to supply the Ward 25 per cent. under the Chartered Company ; but it was of vast consequence that some assurance should be given that they had capital sufficient, or the ward might be left in darkness on some future occasion. . _ Mr. STEVENS replied that they had the most satisfac tory assurances upon that head, for the Company now divided five per cent. profit upon their capital. Mr. CLARK said, that the British Gas Company also offered to supply them 25 per cent. cheaper than they were at present charged, and, therefore, it would be better to leave out the name of the Independent Company. Mr. CORDELL offered to alter his resolution, and intro duce the words "or any other competent Gas Light Company." This alteration seemed to meet the views of the Meeting, and the resolution was immediately agreed to. Mr. STEVENS then rose, for the purpose of submitting a Petition to their notice ; sod in doing se, stated several facts which our tittle will not permit us to give. Amongst the more prominent ones, however, were these :—ln Nor ton Falgate and Spitalfields the Chartered Company were supplying Gas at charges varying from three pounds ten shillings, to as low as two pounds two shillings, for the very same sized burners as the inhabitants of that ward were paying 41. for. The Commissioners of sewers did not wish to encourage monopoly, but they did so ef fectually by not granting permission to break up the pave ment. The present, however, was a good opportunity, for the ward was about to be repaved, so that that objection could not apply, and the Commissioners themselves were anxious to do something, as far as he could learn, to afford relief to the inhabitants. Mr. PEACOCK said he believed the Commissioners could do nothing, however willing they might be, for their hands were tied by their contract with the Chartered Company, which would not expire for at least twelve months. Mr. Deputy thus:l:Away said that he was mistaken, for the Charter would expire at Midsummer. He was him seq. a Commissioner of Sewers, and would do his utmost to enable the inhabitants to succeed. Three other Commissioners expressed themselves to the same effect. The petition, which was quite in accordance with the Resolutions, was then agreed to, and thanks being voted to Sir R. C. Glynn, for his conduct in the Chair, the Meet ing adjourned. NEW BRUNSWICK THEATRE. ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST. This morning, at half-past nine o'clock, the ConoNEu proceeded to address the Jury, and recapitulate the evi dence. The Learned Gentleman occupied a considerable portion of time in giving a detailed history of the law from the earliest times down to the present day affecting the d uties of Coroners, and Juries under their direction. The re capitulation of the important parts of the evidence given by the different witnesses was proceeding when we went to press. Mr. Huttmann, on behalf of Mr. Carruthers, and in the absence of all professional men, attended at the sitting of the Court to complain of a short paragraph that appeared in the Times newspaper of to-day respecting what passed at the Inquest yesterday, He said, that the observation in the Times that nothing of importance transpired yesterday was most prejudicial to the character of Mr. Carruthers, as well as that of others, inasmuch as the evidence that was given by the architect tended to im plicate certain persons engaged in the erection of the theatre. The CORONER was sure that the Jury would not be misled by any . thing except what they heard by their own ears within the walls of the Court. Probably the Times has something more important to fill its columns to-day. THE ARMY. The 14th Regiment of Light Dragoons, has removed from Dublin to CoVentry. The 7th, or Royal Fusileers Regiment of Infantry, which was under orders to proceed from Corfu to Malta, will not, it is understood, be removed at present.

OLD COURT. Of the above number, 49 are in the City, and 277 itt the Cou STATE OF HIS MAJESTi Prisoners under sentence of tran s George Lemon, aged 17 years, was capitally indicted for cutting, with intent to murder or disfigure Charles York, the prosecutor. The prosecutor deposed that he was employed at Mr. Davis's . 'y'ard, in Jockey's Fields, Bedford-row,- in February. 'The prisoner was a wheelwright, and about six o'clock in the morning, witness was mending the step of a cabriolet. The prisoner took the step out of witness's hand, and struck him on the head with it. Witness took it back again, saying, " George, why will you not let me do what I was about?" Witness began to work again, when .he received a blow on the head, which fractured his scull, and.jae has been since deranged in the hospital. Did net knovi who struck him. Cross-okamined by Mr. PHILLIPS.-Witness did not strike the prisoner with the hot step. Never asked if he could get his expences if he prosecuted the prisoner. The whole affair occupied less than five minutes. James Peacock, farrier, deposed, that lie was in Davis's shop at the time of the occurrence. York was employed in mending a step; . saw them twisting together with the step, but cannot say whether any blows passed; the step then got into York's hands, when Lemon took up the iron bar produced, and struck him on the head with it; the prisoner then ran away. Cross-examined—They were struggling while the step was hot, and the prisoner the next day had a scar on his hand which appeared to be a burn. Samuel Carrick corroborated the testimony of the last witness, and said, that at the time of the occurrence, and before the prisoner struck the prosecutor, the former com plained of his hand as if he were in pain. The prosecu tor had on a fur cap at the time Mr. Beadland, a surgeon, deposed to the nature of the injury, which was of a very serious nature. Septirnus Reeve, another surgeon, gave similar testimony. The prisoner in his defence said, that he was pained by the burn on his hand, and struck the prosecutor at the moment, but he did not mean to do him any harm. Mr. PHILLIPS then called the following witnesses : Wm. Saunders deposed that he was present at the time of the occurrence. York had done something to the step, upon which Lemon said, " Charles, give it a blow or two there." Lemon thought it wanted something more to be done to it. York said to him, " your eyes, what have you to do with it." Lemon then took the step, after which, York wrested it from him, and struck him with it across the hand. Lemon laid hold of the chisel, struck him on the head, flung away the chisel, and walked out. It altogether lasted scarcely half a minute. Lemon's father was the employer of York. Several very respectable witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner an excellent character for humanity and ge neral kindness of disposition. Lord TENTERDIIN charged the Jury. Verdict,—" Not Guilty." Stephen Stubberfield, aged 34; Spencer Whiteman, 26 ; Thomas Millar, 20; Henry Millar, 22 ; John Spray, 24 ; Edward Shoesmith, 24; William Ben nett, 20 ; James Foord, 43 ; TAomas Maynard, 40 ; dud William Plumb, 25, were removed by Habeas Cor pus from Sussex, and charged upon two indictments with assembling at different times armed with blunderbusses, pistols, stakes, &c., for the unlawful purpose of running contraband goods on the coast at East Bourne, Sussex. The prisoners consulted with their legal adviiers, who persuaded them to retract their plea of Not Guilty and plead Guilty, which they severally did. On being called up, Lord TENTEADEN, in addressing the prisoners, observed that they were very much indebted to the humanity of the Crown Counsel, who had consented to their withdrawing their first plea, for if they had been convicted on it, their lives would have been forfeited. He hoped it would pro duce a good effect upon them and others engaged in so un lawful a system, which it was so desirable to suppress. The prisoners, who were all strong athletic country men, were then removed from the bar. James Barton, IS, alias FledericA Mandeville, was indicted for stealing three fenders from the residence'of Sir G. Farrant, in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square. " Guilty" of the larceny. The prisoner, whq wore a sailor's jacket, and described himself as a surgeon, escaped the capital part of the indict ment by die fact of Sir G. Farrant having left the house in question, and gone to reside in another, consequently it could not in law be designated a dwelling-house. NEW COURT. (Before the COMNION SERGEANT.) James Scott was found guilty of embezzling three small sums of money received by him on account of his employer, Mr. Doubleday, a coal-merchant, residing at Pimlico...._ The prisoner had written a most penitent letter to the pro secutor, admitting his guilt.—Sentence not passed. Joseph Hooker was indicted for stealing, on the 4th of March last, four rabbits, the property of a person named Smith, residing in Providence-row, Hackney. Au officer proved that he found the rabbits in the prisoner's house, and that he had kept them in safe custody ever since, in order that they might be adduced in evidence at the trial. The prisoner, who received a most excellent character, stated that the rabbits had been stolen by his brother-in law.—Verdict, " Not Guilty." Mary Jane Field was convicted of stealing seven spoons from . the dwelling-house of Mr. John Adams, of Ken sington-court. The prisoner called at the house of the prosecutor, and stated that she was anxious to procure lodgings for her mistress, an eldeily lady. The prisoner examined the lodgingi very attentively, highly approved of them, and desired that tea might be ready for her mis tress,: who was to come in the evening and take possession of the apartments. On the prisoner's departure the spoons were missed, and upon her apprehension she ad mitted that she had pawned them. _ _ There were three other indictments for similar offences against the prisoner, but the COMMON SERGEANT deemed it unnecessary to enter upon the trial of them. MASQUERADE, ARGYLL ROOMS.--A splendid Masquerade was held here last night, at which no less than 1,500 individuals were assembled. The cha racters were various as usual; but with the exception of a quadrille danced by:several chimney-sweepers, in appropriate costume, were somewhat indifferently sustained. There was an abundant supply of refreshments ; and an excellent supper served up at about one o'clock. The Manager of the Opera House is, we understand, in treaty with DE BEGNIs for his appearance w ith Mademoiselle SONTAG, in the Opera of II Barbiere ai Siviglia. We hope so►ue arrangement may he entered into between them, that we may not longer be deprived of see i ng this talented singer and actor in his legitimate sta tion ; indeed we do not know where a substitute for his Dr. Bartolo, in the before-mentioned Opera, can at pre sent be found. CLIFTON, APRIL B.—Owing to the mildness of the weather, the season at the Hotwells has commenced much earlier than usual. Our arrivals ere every day increasing. BATII, APRIL 9.—Last evening there was a grand Concert at the Assembly Rooms, in support of the Funds of the Bath United Hospital. On Monday Madame VBSTRIS commenced a short engagement here. She has, on the two nights on which she has hitherto played, drawn extremely full houses. Sydney Gardens were opened on Monday evening for the season. They promise to be as at tractive a promenade as ever. Lord HEYTESBURY, after an absence of six years, as Ambassador in Spain and Portugal, returned to his country seat, at Heytesbury, last Friday. On the fol lowing day the principal inhabitants met to congratulate him on his arrival in his native town. They afterwards partook of a sumptuous dinner at the Red Lion Inn. A handsome present from Colonel A'CounT, his Lordship's brother, of a hamper of champagne, added to the hilarity of the day HAY MARKErS.-(At Si'. JA] S. 9 owland Mead.

Mr. RICKARDS, the East India merchant, has commenced a work ou India, intended, more particu larly, to diffuse a correct knowledge of the condition of the native population, and of the causes which have obstructed its improvement. The first part, which has just appeared, relates to the castes of India, and the habits of the Hindoos. It will be followed by disquisitions on. the revenue and trade of the Company, with suggestions for a reform in the ad ministration of India. Mr. RICKARDS'S weal-known ex perience will, no doubt, cause peculiar value to be attached to his opinions on stich subjects.

A letter in another part of the journal gives details, of which some appear to be curious, respecting the composition and views of parties in the United States, on the eve of a new elec tion of President. At the , same time, if the par ticulars be curious from their novelty, they seem to derive but little interest from any other cause as we can extract from them no materials whatever for judging of the probable issue of the contest ; or, if decided against the existing President, of what are likely to be the politics of his successor. From such lights, however, as are incidentally scattered through this account, it may be con jectured that the feelings of the Southern and Western States, i. e.—those from which produce is principally exported,—are adverse to that system of prohibitory duties, which affects in a sensible manner the commercial relations of the United States with Great Britain. If, then Gen. Jackson, who, it is assumed, will be the successful rival of Mr. Adams, participates in the common sentiment of the States which are his chief sup porters, and of one of which he is a native, he ms opposed to the prohibitory system, which formed the great feature of Jefferson's policy, and of that which Mr. Adams has pursued, and he (General Jackson) will, arteris par . be inclined to favour the principles of commercial freedom, that is to say, of an unrestricted ex change of American raw produce for the manu factures of older and more advanced communi ties. It is indeed extremely possible that strong impulse, coming from a different quarter, mar supersede the sympathy of General Jackson with his south-western countrymen, and lead him to act upon views of territorial aggrandizement, or upon dreams of personal ambition, directly op. posite to the mere sober dictates of a commercial and peaceful policy. General Jackson has here tofore, as we are told, belonged to a party distin guished for hatred of England, and he himself has been reported to thirst for additional oppor tunities of drawing the sword against her. Should this be his passion, we scarcely think it probable that General Jackson will be permitted by the feelings or interests of either England or America to indulge it. The power which makes him President, if President he should become, will be that which rules the Con gress, and that to which General Jackson must, however reluctantly, submit, in the ad ministration of the Executive Government. he be nominated President by a majority con sisting of the commercial and agricultural states, the representatives in Congress of the same states will be able to dictate the foreign policy of the servant whom they have chosen. A President.of such a Republic has no patronage nor influence, by perverting which he can con trol, or subjugate, or forcibly determine to any sinister object, the course of a legislative body. If, therefore, the bias of the nation be in favour of amity abroad, and of domestic industry, Ge neral Jackson must adopt the same bias : if the tendency of opinion were otherwise, Mr. Adams would not have been able so long to resist it.— England, therefore, having, and avowing, an un feigned solicitude for the maintenance of strict friendship, and for the enjoyment of active com merce with the, United States, may look, with indifference on her own account, though not without interest for the sake of the Republic, am: the choice which the latter is about to make of an ostensible Chief Magistrate.— Times. There is nothing too paradoxical, in the way of opinion, for a man to entertain after he hap. mounted a favourite hobby. Such may be con sidered the crotchet of an Hon. Baronet, whose evidence on the Game Bill has just been pub lished, and who is stated to have had " no hesi tation in saying that he attributes the increase of poaching to the disposition of the Judges and of the Juries, both at Sessions and Assizes, to acquit all poachers, and to condemn all keepers. - The same witness goes on to state that he con siders the " abolition of spring-guns" as another reason ; though other witnesses, quite as well informed, have declared that poachers knew just as well how to avoid spring-guns as to find pheasants. He adds, in illustration of his first position, that " if poachers are only sent to York they are certain of obtaining a triumph over the country gentlemen." That Yorkshiremerk are cunning has been admitted, either as a general truism, or as a vulgar error, from time immemo rial ; but we thought that the law had lxe-n too powerful even for an honest Yorkshire. man ; nor had we ever heard before that the , a Yorkshire game-killer. Of all Judges, on the Northern Circuit, lost all thtir. weansdhoucoldnshe consequence, cameae s s o i rralnen, sight power, which have heard hazarded upon this subject, this one is the last—that the law does not reach poachers, when caught, with sufficient certainty and se verity. By the same rule it may be said that the laws against smuggling are not severe enough because they do not put down the offence. Are the Judges in Kent or Sussex sure to acquit all smugglers, and to condemn all Custom-house Officers? No ; but the inducement, both in the one case and in the other, is too strong for the severest laws to reach. Take away the cause, and you remove the effect. We do not deny that there may be a certain degree of esprit de corps among poachers as well as among game preservers ; nor would we pretend to contradict that part of the Hon. Baronet's argument which states that " Juries composed of farmers" have no great disposition to condemn those who if t e. stroy the animals by w hich their crops are de., voured ; but the returns from nearle all th e orisons in the kingdom unequivee:dy prove, that, so far from time law having been inoperative, it has been operative to a osost unmercif u l ex , tent—an extent the more to be deplored, as it has proved in its effects wholly unavailing as a check to the offence which it would a t once both punish and prevent.--411orning Herald. for the last two days, n p s o i l d is era h b a l v e e tibuemenbeitn• of the parishes very considerable some, and between the poorer Wealthier parishioners in others. In the a in st c a o t n e s o e I f p g e r n e c a e t parishioners at large and ti:fedtAirli'seapl'utes innbetwee the ne ighbouring parish of St. Paul, Covent-gar den, we see the former have gained what they conceive a great victory it 4 the election of a Clerk, confusion according to their own heart. Whether they will be allowed to keep him where they have placed him cannot be determined until the re sult of the scrutiny demanded by the losing party is known. These annually recurring con tentions in parishes are, we think, decidedly in jurious ; and, invest them with what names we will, they end in nothing but heart-burnnigs and enmities, among neighbours and acquaintances, to whom peace. and a mutual good understand ' and importance than the exaltation understand ing are of more of all the Mr. Corders, or the degradation of all the Mr. Roches, who shall ever hold or lose of fice among them.
