A communication was made by the Court of Aldermen that a vacancy had taken place in th e o ffi ce of Attorney of the Mayor s Court, by the decease of T. N.

The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servat•ons of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the annual premiums of all those policies entitled to participation.

By Order of the Board, DAVID JONES, Actuary, ART BEFORE NATURE. THIS seeming paradox has been solved by the Perukes and Head Dresses made by ROSS and SONS, 119 and 120, BISHOPSGATE-STREET, for although per fectly natural, they at the same time possess that elegance and gracefulness of contour otherwise unattainable. Being made of natural curling hair, which always looks easy and becoming, (particularly in Ladies' and Gentlemen's Perukes), being quite porous, and finished with their newly-invented partings, the latter so close a resemb'ance to the skin, as to defy detection; they are perfectly unique. ROSS and SONS having completed their extensive altera tions, ran now offer to the Public, on the Ground floor, the most splendid apartments for Ladies' and Gentlemen's Hair cutting and arranging ; and request a visit, the first week in every month, to inspect the fashions. An:immense assortment of Fronts, Toupees, Ringlets, Braids, &c. of the most beauti ful description. Ladies' own hair made into Chains, Love knots, or any other device required.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of ♦ery ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease 3, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced . to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor,lw ill here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be.enabled to point out the d's estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

CHRONICLE.—The failure of a house in Lombard.street, agent to seine of the banks in the Channel Islands, was an nounced this morning, and also the stoppage of the firm of Me rentier, Tokenhouse-yard, extensively engaged in the West Indian and continental trade. The suspension of the first named house is said to have arisen out cf the failure of Messrs. Coils and Co., bill brokers, who had been guarantees fir their acceptances. The stoppage of the house of Merentier is attri buted to speculations in sugar, and it is said that their paper is in circulation to a large amount, of which a considerable por tion is held in London. The bankir ' e firm in Vienna of Steiner is also declared defaulters, and the banking► establishment in Paris of Pierregues and Verninac is reported insolvent, arising from their connections with Merentier. A small failure in the West India trade took place yesterday in the City. Rumours are abroad of other firms, but we hope without foundation. These failures have given rise to a con siderable want of confidence and gloom in the City ; but as there has been no speculation for twelve months past, the circulation limited, and as the action of the banks has been generally stringent since the autumn of 1839, we do not apprehend anything like a money panic. There is great depression in trade, and some establishments find it requisite to wind up and to realise their securities. The fall of prices consequent on the restrictive measures of the Bank, after the exhaustion of its bullion in 1839, made it necessary for many houses to bring their stocks to market at a heavy loss. That change in value soon extended to the Culonies, and those who hail made shipments abroad, to relieve the glut at home, suf fered a further loss from sending their goods to markets already over supplied. The decrease in the Custom Revenues of 856,991/. within the year, notwithstanding an increase of 5 per cent., shows too plainly that the trade of England is in a state of ecay ; and that the distress prevailing in the manu facturing districts must become still more general and alarming, unless means be adopted to repleni h the springs of our pro ductive.industry so as to increase consumption, by giving cheap food and better wages to the working classes. TIMES. —Mr. Leatham, of Wakefield, who has already written two pamphlets on the currency, has recently published a table, showing in parallel columns the estimated amount of bills circulating in Great Britain and Ireland, the quarterly averages of Bank of England notes and other notes payable on demand, the averages of bullion in the Bank and in circulation, the average amount of securities held by the Bank, the amounts advanced by the Bank as temporary loans, the na ture of the securities deposited, the interest demanded, and the average interest allowed by the bill-brokers for cash, all for a period of eight years, ending January, 1840. The general inferences to be drawn from the inspection of his table Mr. Leatham leaves to his readers, but he has added some remarks to call attention to what he considers the more remarkable phenomena. The quarters in 1832-3-4, with which the table begins, exhibit the amount of bills in circula tion as expanding to a great extent the rates of interest charged by the Bank as from 3 to 3i, and that allowed by the bill brokers for cash as still lower, and the bullion in the Bank rising from 5,000,0001. to 11,000,0001., and subsequently de clined to 7,000,0001. The quarters from the second half of the year 1837, through 1538 and 1839, show interest gradually ris ing to 6 per cent., a great decrease in the latter part of the period in the bullion in the Bank, and in the earlier portion a great decrease in the amount of bills o: exchange. This re action is but the result, according to Mr. Leatham, of the ap parent prosperity of the former period. POST. —Trinidad papers to Ma) 22, Demerara to June I, and Jamaica to June 2, have come to hand by her Majesty's picket Seagull. The ship Elizabeth and Jane had just arrived at Trinidad with 181 African immigrants of both sexes of board, all in perfect health, after a passage of 28 days. The accommodations provided for the comfort of the poor negroes are spoken of as having been most ample, and great credit is given to those interested in the outfit of the vessel for their hu manity. The labourers seemed to be in no great hurry to en gage themselves, but evinced a disposition rather to look around them in the first instance to ascertain how they might do so to the best advantage. They proved intelligent men, and far superior to those usually landed from captured slave ships, while most of the number were able to speak the Eng lish language. On the departure of the Elizabeth and Jane from Sierra Leone, two more vessels were there, about to receive emigrants—one bound for Jamaica, and the other for Demerara. The people of Trinidad seem to feel it as a great evil that the island had no agent to represent it in England, and to watch the proceedings of the President of the Board of Trade, who had announced an intended alteration in the customs' duties. The barque Superior had reached Demerara with 202 Kroomen and freemen. The Superior also had a very favourable passage, no deaths having occurred since she left Africa. Lodging and every necessary w as afford ed, the whole at the expens e o f the colony, until they should be able to procure suitable emplyment. The same vessel was char tered to return to Sierra Leone for a further supply of labourers. Arrangements were making by the islands generally for the introduction of free labourers upon a scale that should greatly discourage any project the effect of which, in the event of its being carried, would be to give extension to the cruel traffic so obstinately persevered in by that most immoral of nations, Portugal. - COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

This prop to his person I ore saw stancirig by his bed s ide, ready dressed in a handsome silk stocking, with a polished shoe and gold buckle, awaiting the owner's getting up ; it had a kind of tragi-comical appearance, and 1 leave to inveterate wags the ingenuity of punning u pon a Foote in bed and a leg out of it. The proxy for a limb thus desorated, though ludricrous, is too strong a remind er of amputation to be very laughable. His undressed supporter was the common injurious Wooden leg, like a mere stick, which was not a little to a well-kept pleasure ground. I remember following him, after a shower of rain, upon a nicely rolled terrace, in which he stumped a deep round hole at every other step he took, till it appeared as if the gardener had been th ere w ith hi s dibble, preparing, against all norticultural practicc,_ to plant a long row of cabbages in a gravel-walk." DR. BIRKI3ECK. It is in contemplation we understand, to establish some permanent testimonial of the gratitude of the members of Mechanics and other education Institu tions to Dr. Birkbeck, the founder of Mechanics' Insti tutions, and the great promoter through a long life, of the improvement of the working- classes. A meeting with this view is to be held in the London Mechanics' Institution, on the 15th instant, and we should hope that other institutions will co-operate in order to render the testimonial worthy of the noble individual in question, and of the great cause to which he has devoted all those hours that other men give to indolence and pleasure. Since 1825 a great, improvement has taken place in the character of the people, and much of that is due to the numerous self-supporting educational institutions for the industrious classes, which took their rise about that period, and of which Dr. Birkbeck was the chief founder and promoter. In our estimation the glory of warrior statesmen is less pure and less bright than the glory of such a man, and it will reflect discredit on the nation, not on him, should the testimonial not be made by a comlined exertion of all the mechanics and similar institutions in the kingdom worthy of the great improve ment of which he is the author. Philosophers, poets, generals, heroes, have all in their turn been deified by the admiration of mankind ; the time for such worship is past, but its place should be supplied for the best inte rests of humality by a rational, a public, and an endur ing homage to those who like Dr. Birkbeck have largely contributed to the welfare of the whole human race. We hope and trust that all the friends of education through out this wide empire will concur in making the proposed testimonial worthy of the man and the cause. COURT OF CONSERVANCY. Yesterday the Lord Mayor held Coarts of Conservancy of the River Thames for the counties of Surrey and Mid dlesex, at the Town Hall, in the Borough, and the Swan Tavern, Westminster-bridge, for the purpose of receiv ing the presentments of the Inquest Juries upon the state of the river, to which his Lordship had requested their particular attention on a former occasion. The Lord Mayor was accompanied by the Recorder, Aldermen Sir Chapman Marshall, Wilson, Sheriffs Gibbs and Barn comb, Mr. Firth, of the Town Clerk's Office ; Mr. Saun ders, the Water Bailiff ;Mr. Nelson, the Under Water Bailiff, &c., &c. _ _ _ The Middlesex presentment stated that the Jury on proceeding from Westminster-bridge to Blackwall noticed the barges put together to form temporary piers for the accommodation of boarding and landing passen gers from the steam-boats, and which were carried out so far as to oblige small boats and craft to go further into the stream than was consistent with the safety of those on board of them ; that they thought the small floating pier at Blackfriars-bridge might be placed in a far better position so as to admit small craft to the stairs with greater security ; that on proceeding up the river and reaching Westminster-bridge they were surprised to find a very Lrge embankment or projection carried out at least seventy yards into the bed of the river and about 300 yards long, and which they were informed was made by certain parties to make room for the build ing of the new Houses of Parliament, but which they thought was a very great encroachment into the bed of the river, and caused serious hindrance to the free flowing and receding of the tides, and likewise forming a large re cess or receptacle for the accommodation of mud and filth ; and they recommended that if the embankment were to remain it should be carried out further, so as to do away with the present projection which formed the stoppage of the mud, and for this they consi dered the embankment above Vauxhall Bridge to be in a dilapidated state, and requiring immediate atten tion. They likewise stated that, on a careful examination of Battersea Bridge, they considered it very dangerous to the present navigation, both as regarded the forma tion of the piers and the narrowness of the arches, and likewise as to the bend of the river where the bridge is situated ; and, on proceeding further and examin ing Putney Bridge, they considered _it to be in a much worse state as to the formation of the piers than Battersea Bridge, both as respected the narrowness of the arches and the formation, and they considered it very unsafe for small boats as well as larger ones, and on their return they perceived a total deficiency of light. They also had heard great complaints from three or four fishermen at Stroud-on the-Green, as to a serious destruction of fish caused by the wash from Booth's Distillery at Brentford, which they considered was owing to lime being used for clean ing the coppa.s, and which was sent into the river in immense quantities, many days together, for the last two years. • Sir C. MARSHALL asked whether the Jury had had an v communication with the parties connected with the bridges, which were represented to be in so dangerous a state. The Jury replied that they took their views without communicating with any body. They were aware at the time that considerable loss of life had been the con sequence of the condition of the arches of the two bridges, and they observed that the tide made its way through them in a transverse way. An accident had nearly occurred as they reached Putney-bridge, on account of the narrowness of the arches. The REcoRDER informed the gentlemen of the in quest that the Lord Mayoa, would direct the attention of the City Solicitor to the statements made in the present ment, and would also call the attention of the Naviga tion Committee to the obstructions which were described as existing, immediately. He suggested that some of the Jury should attend the next Court of Aldermen with a note of the observations, in order that the object of car rving out the removal of the obstructions might be com pletely accomplished. The Surrey presentment complained of several of the piers for steam-boat passengers, and the Jury begged leave to suggest that at Blackfriars and Westminster Bridges floating piers should be erected similar to that at South wark Bridge, which was so great an accommodation, with out causing the least annoyance in the neighbourhood. They also complained of Battersea and Putney Bridges, and of obstruction caused by a barge-builder, near Vaux hall Bridge. It is expected that immediate proceedings will be re sorted to in most of the cases to which the presentments referred.

The mould is making greater ravages in some of the best grounds than was at first believed. THE WEALD —lt is calculated that one-third of the plant is lost in the Weald of Kent and Sussex. The general opinion in the best cultivated grounds is against a crop. The bines have improved as much as they could these last three or four days. 13onouo tr.—The accounts continuing favourable for the young bine, causes buyers to be cautious in their operation and the market is in a dull state, but prices keep ill. Tile duty is estimated at 155,000/. to 160,000/. Kent herald. THE WEATHER.—NooN, JULY 9. ROYAL GALLERY OF SCIENCE, ADELAT OE-STREET Barometer Thermometer... 63 I Highest 65 f Lowest ...... 4 Wind W.—Freezing Point 32 Deg, Some fishermen of the island of Elba are stated by the Moniteur Parisien to have reported that they could see the Pollux on a calm day, lying at the bottom of the sea, and it was in consequence of this that a coolin i ss i on went to the spot, on board the V irgilio. This journal says that the vessel lies only in 5'3 fathoms water, on a fine sandy bottom, and that there are hopes of raising it. It was said that the body of the Neapolitan captain, who was drowned, had been washed ashore. t he Pollux had 70,000 silver colonats on board. The Countess d'Uxhull, a Russian lady, lost 50,000 francs in gold, and numerous articles of value. The Duchess de la Rocca, a Neapolitan lady, lost 30,000 francs, and her carriages; and Captain Tcharikof, of the Russian artillery, lost 20,000 francs, with a considerable number of precious stones. The passengers escaped in scarcely anything but their night-clothes, being all in their bet the when the collision took place. Sir P. LAURIE said that if the plan of ventilation were not adopted in the long recess about to take place, it must be postponed for a year ; and the Judges, Magistrates, juries, officers, and witnesses, would be sub jected, in the meantime, to the poisonous atmosphere of the Old Bailey, in which hundreds of persons suffered daily during the sittings, and in which it was most dis gusting to see vinegar constantly burned by way of purification.—(Hear, hear.) He moved that the Report should be sent back to the Committee to be carried into effect.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR rose to support the amendment proposed by Sir Peter Laurie. It was a question upon which a Court of Aldermen had been called to deliberate in consequence of the opportunity which presented itself at the present moment to make an improvement of a most important kind ; and he trusted that the Court would show its sense of the necessity of adopting the plan of Dr. Reid in the Courts by a unanimous vote. Mr. ANDERTON said that the Courts at the Old Bailey were a disgrace to the metropolis, and a most expensive disgrace to the City of London ; and he would rather see new Courts built than any farther expense incurred in the attempt to improve what was so bad. He by no means wished to oppose Dr. Reid's ventilation in an im proved building, but he considered the application of the plan in the existing structure appeared to him to be un advisable. Sir P. LAURIE said that the expenses of former at tempts to ventilate had been spoken of, but the plans were all contemptible, in comparison with the perfect plan of Dr. Reid.—(Cheers.) He urged, with the strongest arguments, the necessity of agreeing to his proposition. It was in the power of the Court of Alder men to order the plan to be adopted. They were con stantly in the habit of attending in these Courts, and they unanimously agreed in the pressing necessity of adopt ing Dr. Reid's system of ventilation in the Courts, but they were unwilling to give the order themselves with out the concurrence of the Court of Common Council. — (Hear, hear.) The matter originated with the City So licitor, to whose suggestion he (Sir Peter Laurie) was greatly indebted. He trusted that the Court would not subject itself to the imputation of being prompt to vote away money for comparatively insignificant or culpable purposes. - Mr. HUNTER said that he bad read the Report of Dr. Reid in the newspapers, and he was convinced that the Court ought at once to seize the opportunity of availing itself of that gentleman's great skill. Mr. W. JONES declared that it was false economy to oppose Sir Peter Laurie's proposition. Mr. COPE stated that all who knew anything of Dr. Reid's plan were convinced of its efficacy.—(Cheers.) Mr. WELLS said, that in the country the Judges ex ercised the power which they possessed, in fining the principal officers if the ventilation were not attended to, or other instances of neglect occurred ; and he thought it would be very prudent in the Court of Aldermen to guard against the consequences of their responsibility in delaying the improvement required, by authorising it at once if the Court of Common Council refused its con currence.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. Wire and several others most warmly approved of the plan, and Sir Peter Laurie's proposition was agreed to by a very great majority. NEW REGULATIONS 0 - 1' SMITHFIELD MARKET. The CHAIRMAN of the Market Committee brought up a Report respecting the vacancy of Collector of Smith field, and the duties and emoluments of the office. From the Report, which is of considerable length, and of great importance as relates to the improvement of the market and the security of the public from diseased or injurious meat, we publish the following extracts, which compre hend the substance of the whole : As the result of our inquiries, we are of opinion that increase of revenue, improvement in the regulations of the market, and economy in their administration, will be best consulted by consolidating the several offices, and devolving upon one individual the responsibility of providing for the due performance of the whole of their duties. We do therefore recommend to your Honourable Court- That the whole of the duties heretofore performed by the Manager and Collectors of the Tolls and their assistants should be consolidated and executed by one person, to be called the Manager and Collector of Smith field Market, with an assistant under him, and for whom he will be held responsible. That neither the Manager and Collector of the Market nor his assistant shall be directly or indirectly engaged or interested in any other employment, trade, or business. That neither the Manager and Collector of the Mar ket, nor his assistant, shall either directly or indirectly receive from any person or persons any fees, perquisites, or gratuities whatsoever, save and except any lawful fees which now are or hereafter may be made payable in respect of the hay market ; but that such fees shall not be received by such Manager or Collector without the' express authority of the Committee in writing, which may be by them at any time revoked and annulled. We are likewise of opinion that the Manager and Collector should possess a competent knowledge of the state and condition of stock brought to the market, that he may be able to discover and seize such as are in a diseased state, and unfit for human food ; and that he may be able to give evidence in the event of proceed ings being advised to be taken in respect thereof. We also think that he should possess a practical knowledge of the average quantities of fat stock usually' sent to Smithfield from the grazing districts throughout the kingdom, with their peculiar seasons of supply, to en able him more effectually to arrange the general accom modation of the market, and to provide for those perio dical changes which bring with them not merely a change in the supply of stock, but a change also of salesmen engaged in their dispo sa l ; which circumstance,- together with casual fluctuations in supply and other causes connected therewith, frequently occasion much temporary inconvenience. The Report contains the following duties of the Ma nager and Collector and his assistant, amongst others of minor importance :-- To see that the whole market is properly cleansed by the scavengers according to contract and to give infor mation at the Office of Sewers of any neglect, that the parties may be summoned .before the Commissioners; and to attend before th e said Commissioners to substan tiate such complaint. To see that no cattle, sheep, lambs, &c., whether from disease or other causes, unf i t for human ood, be offered or exposed for sale, and if so exposed to ssize the same according to law, or take the necessary steps for sum moning the parties before a Magistrate, or to communi cate the same to the Markets Committee, with proper evidence to s u pp ort any procee di ngs t h at the said Com mittee may think it necessary to institute. To see that the following regulations are strictly car ried into effect : That all calves and pigs exposed or offered for sale in the market shall be tied and penned in that part of the market only which is set apart for that purpose. That all cattle, sheep, &c., which shall be tied up, penned, or otherwise placed in the market contrary to the directions of the Collector shall be forthwith removed under his authority. That no cattle, sheep, lambs, calves, or pigs shall stand upon or be driven along any of the flag footways in any part of the market, except so far only as may be abso lutely necessary in driving the same direct to or from any pen or pens, appropriated for the sale thereof, open ing into or upon any such footway. That no cattle, sheep, lambs, &c. shall be driven into, along, or through any avenue or space within the market appropriated to the sale of cattle, except such cattle shall be driven into such avenue or space by arrangement of the collector, for the parpose of sale, or shall be driven therefrom after having been purchased therein. That no catty shall stand or be offered or exposed for sale in any off or ringdrove in that part of the market extending from King-street to Long-lane, thence to Duke-street and round to Giltspur-street ; but that the space within such limits shall be kept as a clear and open way for all cattle, sheep, &c., to be driven into and out of the market. Th it no drover or other person shall detain any sheep or laailis in any of the alleys or avenues between the sheep-pens within the market after such sheep or lambs 5. That every person duly licensed as aforesaid shall at all times during his employment wear the ticket which shall have been delivered to him conspicuously upon the upper and outer part of the left arm, in such manner that the number thereon shall at all times be distinctly visible and legible ; and if any person licensed as aforesaid shall not at all times during his employment wear the ticket delivered to him as before directed, or shall refuse to produce the same for inspection when required, or shall refuse to permit any person to note the number on such ticket, every person so offending shall for every offence forfeit any sum not exceeding 40s. nor less than 10s. 6. That the clerk of the said market, or such other person as aforesaid, be authorised during one cal.endar month preceding the Ist of July in any year to issue licenses, to take effect from the date thereof and to con tinue in force (except as aforesaid) until the Ist of July in the following year. 7. That the particulars of every license shall be regis tered in a book, which any person shall be at liberty to inspect without payment of any fee. 8. That upon the expiration of any license the person to whom the same shall have been granted shall deliver up such license and the ticket relating thereto to the Clerk of the Market, or such other person as aforesaid ; and if after the expiration of such license the person to whom the same shall have been granted shall use or wear the ticket relating thereto, or shall not within the space of three days deliver up the ticket, every person so of fending shall for every offence forfeit any sum not ex ceeding 40s. nor less than 10s. 9. That whenever any licensed person shall change his place of abode he shall within three days give notice thereof, in writing signed by him, to the Clerk of the Market, or such other person as aforesaid, speci fying his new place of abode, and shall produce his license to the Clerk of the Market, or such other per son as aforesaid, who shall endorse thereon and register in the said book the particulars of such change ; and if any licensed person shall change his place of abode and omit to give notice thereof as aforesaid, every person so offending shall for every offence forfeit any sum not ex ceeding 405., nor less than 10s. 11. That whenever the number on any ticket shall become obliterated or defaced, so that the same shall not be distinctly visible and legible, such ticket shall be de livered up to the Clerk of the Market, or such other person as aforesaid, who is authorised, upon payment of 2s. 6d., to issue another ticket of a corresponding num ber ; and if any person shall wear or use any ticket after it shall have become obliterated or defaced, so that the number shall not be distinctly visible and legible, every person so offending shall, for every offence, forfeit any sum not exceeding 405., nor less than 10s. 11. All sticks or other instruments used by persons engaged in driving cattle, sheep, calves, or lambs within the aforesaid limits shall be stamped with such distin guishing mark as the Clerk of the Market, or such other person as aforesaid, shall deem expedient • and if any person shall use any stick or instrument which shall not have been so marked, every person so offending shall for every offence forfeit any sum not exceeding 40s. nor less than 10s. This Report was, after considerable discussion, sent back to the Committee for further consideration.—Ad journed. SHERIFFS' COURT—GUILDHALL. (Before Mr. Sergeant ARADIN.) DAY AND OTHERS V. HODSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs as the Trustees of the Bartholomew Equitable Loan Society, to recover the sum of 31. 45., under the following circum stances:— Mr. MILLER Was for the plaintiff, Mr. JAMES con ducted the defence. • It appeared that the defendant became security to the Loan Society for a female of the name of Nottage for the sum of 151, he passing his promissory note for that sum. The person for whom he became security paid upwards of 12/, and the action was brought for the recovery of the balance. The defendant joined issue and pleaded that he did not make the note. Proof being given of his signa ture to it. Mr. JAMES, on his part, submitted that under the sth and 6th of William the Fourth, the Court had no juris diction, as the Act of Parliament directed that Rae, the defendant, ought to have been sued by summons before the Magistrates, and not in a superior Court. The Act was made for the protection of the poor defaulter, and the costs not to exceed ten shillings. Mr. MILLER, for the plaintiffs, contended that the de fendant having joined issue and pleaded that he had not made the note, he could not then set up such a defence. Previous to his pleading he should have demurred to the declaration. Mr. Sergeant ARIBIN, having looked into the Act, thought it better that the plaintiff should be nonsuited, with liberty to move the Court to enter a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Illuxell protested against the nonsuit, and con tended that issue being joined, and there being no prohi bitory clause in the Act to prevent the case being brought into a superior Court, the Jury were bound to find upon the issue proved. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN thought it was immaterial how the verdict went as to either party. He would give leave to move the superior Court. After considerable wrangling between the Counsel, it was agreed t o on the part of the defendant that verdict should pass for plaintiffs, and that certain points were to be reserved, with liberty to move the superior Court. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs for 11. 45., and attached the following protest to their verdict, which was read by the Foreman :—" The Jury, in giving their verdict, must express their strong disapprobation at the course taken by the plaintiffs in bringing the cause into this Court, when a summary means was open at much less expense, and also in adding heavy charges through fines and attorneys' costs."

THE FLOODS.—The heavy fall - of rain with which this town and neighbourhood has been visited during the last week or ten days, has not only suspended for the present the hay harvest, but we fear it has done irreparable injury to much that is already mown. The rain fell without intermission on Friday last, which caused the waters in this vicinity to overflow their banks • considerable d evastat i on b oth to t h e stan di ng . crops Of grass, and that which is in a forward state for stacking, was the consequence, particularly in the low lands ; the pastures, too, within the reach of the 'flood have sustained considerable damage. The rapidity of the waters swept away several tons of hay from a' field belonging to Mr. Gillett, of Whittington ; indeed the waters seemed to be concentrated in this locality, in the river Rother, and as they proceeded in their course• spread themselves over the adjoining lands. We under stand that the crops of Mr. Dixon, Mr. Heywood, and other persons who have large farms in Binning ton and Staveley, have sustained great damage. Hilla marsh was peculiarly unfortunate ; as from its low si tuation the meadows presented a complete sheet of water • hence it may be inferred that exten s i ve i n j ury has been done in that neighbourhood. Bolsover 'anti Duckmanton did not escape the ravages of the resistltss, torrents ; we have been told that at both these places great damage has been experi ence d ; an d that the in jury done is not confined to the crops of grass, but that in some instances lands sown with turnips have suffered. So impetuous was the stream at Duckmanton, that a dwelling-house, with its inmates, from its proximity to a brook in that village, was completely surrounded with water, in which state it remained for some time.
