BO ARD _OF TRADE, WHITEHALL Nov. 2 The Right honourable tht Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a Despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Rotterdam, enclosing the following translation of a law passed by the States-General, for re-adjusting the Tonnage Dues levied in the Ports of the Netherlands. We, William 111., by the Grace of God, King of the Netherlands, Prince of Orange, Nassau, Grand Duke of Luxemburg, ttc., All who shall see or hoar these read, greeting! be it known. Whereas we have taken into consideration that it is de sirable to abolish the tonnage dues on sea-going vessels, and to enact regulations for the measurement of the same. So We, having beard the Council of State, and in com mon concert with the States-General, have approved and decreed, and We do Lerphy approve and decree ART. I.—The twenty-fifth chapter of the General Law, of the 2Gth of August, 1822 (Staatsblad, No. 38), and Art. 7 of the Law of the Bth of August, 1850 (Staatsblad, No. 47), are repealed. ART. owners, masters, or commanders of sea ships, now subject to the payment of light, tonnage, and beacon dues, are obliged to have their vessels measured, by the appointed officials, on the spot where the ships may be lying, whenever such is requested. This measurement is required to obtai❑ a standard for levying light, tonnage, and beacon dues, described by Art. 2 of the law of the 13th of August, 1849 (Staatsblad, No. 40). The tonnage of loaded vcssols putting into a harbour, and recognised as such by the law on the import, export, and transit, duties, when such vessels depart without breaking bulk, is to be rated by the Government meters, allowing the owner, captain, or commander, the right, in case of dispute, to demand a measurement, tho expense of which is to be borne by the party who shall be found in error. ART• ILL —Every ton of a sea ship is considered to equal 0 00 thousand Netherland pounds, or one and a half cubic, ells. Fractions, beneath a quarter of a Netherland cubic ell, are not calculated in the measurement, and those of or above a quarter of an ell aro considered as half an ell. ART. IV.—A duly signed certificate of measurement, in duplicate, is to be given by the meter to the captain or commaander, specif y i ng, b esides the flag which the vessel bear ud any other particulars necessary to distinguish e same, her .ineasured length, b readth, depth, and ton thnage. ART. V.—The owners, captains, or commanders of sea vessels can demand a remeasurement by two other officials, or competent impartial persona, at the cost of the party found to be in error, Within three times 24 hours after the d e li v ery of the certificate of measurement. ART. Vl.—Every officer app o i n t ed for measuring vessels is authorised to verify, either by remeasurement or other wise, all measurements made by others, after the vessel shall bo unloaded, freo of expense to the masters, and, in case of variance, to note such on the certifi ca t e of inea. surement. . . -- The right granted by Art. 5 to owners, captains, or com manders, admits likewise of such verification. . ART. VII.—No vessels will he allowed to depArt, nor will be provided with a direct or indirect certificate of ad justment, until their certificate of measurement shall have been exhibited at the office of the port of discharging or loading, as a proof of which the same will have to be signed there. ART. VIII.—The certificate of measurement, when thus signed, must b e k ep t on b oar d o f th 3 ships cloarin outwards, on a pen a lty o f 25 florins , and must be exhi bited to the searching officers at their request. ART. IX.—l n Art. Bof the Law of the Bth of August, 1850 (Staatablad, No. 47), in the sentence " Either the a subjecting th ose vessels to u increased tonnage due," 11 - 1 word "increased" is to bo erased, and the words " to be fixed by us," to be inserted in its stead. This manner of levyiu4 the tonnage dries fixed by us will be regulated by the same Decree which was passed according to Art. 8 of the Law of Bth August, 1850. ART. X.—This l aw comes into operation oa the let of January, 1856. We order and command that the present be inserted in the Staatablad, and that all ministerial departments, authorities, colleges, and officials, interested thereby, shall attend to the exact execution thereof.

The sittings of the court, for the October adjourned quatt:r Fe:Ficus were reurned yeiJerday morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, assistant-judge, Mr. Witham, and a bencia of magis trates. There were 52 prisoners for trial, 45 charged wills felony and 7 with misdemeanour. ROBBERY BY ONE OF itErt MAJESTY'S FOOTMEN. ey Louth, 26, de , iciihol as a servant, was charged in three indictments with stealing a black frock coat and other articles, value 71., the property of Charles Arnold ; a coat and other articles, value 21., the property of Wm. Kiddie ; and a coat and other articles, value 71., the property of Wm. Hawkins, in the dwelling-house of our Sovereign Lady the Queen. The prisoner pleaded guilty to two of the charges, bub said he intended to restore the articles. The Assistant-Judge said that was in effect a plea of not guilty. Did the prisoner mean to plead guilty of stealing the articles The prisoner said he did. The facts in the case were these :—The prisoner was one of her Majesty's footmen, and the prosecutors Haw kins and Kiddie were under-butlers at Buckingham Palace, and Arnold waci in the same capacity as the pri soner, one of the Queen's footmen. During the recent absence of the court at Balmoral the prisoner was at Buckingham Palace, but at the latter end of September he left. On arriving at the palace from Scotland or Os borne, the prosecutors found that a variety of articles had been taken from drawers in their respective bedrooms, and suspicion having fallen on the prisoner, information was given to Police-Sergeant Denning, 38 A, who took him into custody in Cambridge-street, Pimlico, on the 27th October. At that time he was wearing a coat be longing to Arnold, and on being searched six pawn brokers' duplicates relating to other missing articles were found upon him. The articles were lett safe in July, and the prisoner bad access to the rooms in which they were deposited. Mr. sorry appeared for the prisoner, whose character, he said, had been excellent up to the time of these offences. He had been for many years in the service of the Duke of Devonshire, under Sir Joseph Paxton, at Chatsworth ; the Duke of Devonshire recommended him to the Duke of Wellington, and after that he was recommended to her Majesty, and appointed one of her footmen. Unfortunately for him, he had en gaged in betting on horse racing, and having lost about 1301., he became pressed for money, and took these articles for the purpose of raising money on them to meet emergencies. The police sergeant found on the prisoner a letter, which woultd give the court informa tion on the subject, and he, Mr. sorry, would hand in a letter from a clergyman in the country, speaking highly of the prisoner. Th eprisoner would emigrate immediately the sentence which the court would pass might expire. The Assistant-Judge having perused the letters, ob served that, as far as be could judge from them, he was inclined to think that the prisoner owed his position more t some connexion he had formed than to horse- racing. The Prisoner—lt was horse-racing, Sir. The Assistant•Jurlge—Wh ere did you make your bets. Prisoner—At different places. Some at Delahay's, in Piccadilly. The Assistant-Judge said it was a sad thing to see the prisoner, who had been one of her Majesty's footmen, who had borne so high a character, and had been so highly recommended, in his present unfortunate posi tion. He would advise him, from what he had seen in the letter, to leave London immediately he came out of prison. The sentence upon him was that he be kept to hard labour for six months for the two cases of which he had pleaded guilty, and the court would not try him on the third charge. !Do..

LA.MI3ETIT.—Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, accom panied by the churchwardens and other officers con nected with the district church of St. Matthew, Brixton, and also the Messrs. Rogers, solicitors, attended before Mr. Eliott to make application for a summons, or such other proceedings as his worship might deem fit, against the Rev. Dr. John Vaughan, the incumbent of St. Matthew, Brixton. The learned gentleman said that, on the part of the churchwardens of the district church of St. Matthew, Brixton, he had to ask his worship to assist the officers of that parish is taking proceedings of a serious character against the Reverend Dr. John Vaughan, their incumbent. By his (Mr. Clarkson's) advice, and with the perfect sanction of the officers of the parish, out of respect to the position of the rev, doctor, he should make application for a sum mons, instead of a warrant. It appeared that the rev. doctor had been in the habit of keeping the register of burials in that parish, and the complaint on the part of the churchwardens was that he had been in the habit of falsifying the register for his own personal benefit and advantage. It had been the practice in the district church to bury not only those deceased in the district, but at the discretion of the incumbent to bury persons out of the district in the burial ground of the church; the only dif ference being that the fees charged for the burial of per sons within the district were only single, and for all of those who died without double, and the charge against the rev. doctor was that he had been in the habit of ac cepting applications for the burial of persons who died out of the distriet upon the condition that for such funerals double fees should be paid, and of falsifying the register by representing that the parties died within the district. This (continued Mr. Clarkson) has been done for his own profit, whereby he bad been guilty of an offence which subjected him to severe penalties. (The learned counsel here read sec. 14 of 52 George 111., c. 146, which declared the wilful insertion of a false entry in the register-bock of marriages, baptisms, and burials to be felony, the punishment incurred being 14 years' transportation. A subsequent act recognising the offence as before, altered the punishment to seven years' trans portation, or from two to four years' imprisonment, at the discretion of the court.) It was a painful thing for him to lay facts of this sort before his worship, but it would be seen from the position in which the officers of the parish were placed they had no .ether course to pur sue. In consequence of a case in which a burial under such circumstances bad taken place, it became necessary to identify the deceased person who had been Limed, for the purpose of enabling the parties surviving to procure certain moneys in the hands of the officers of the Bank of England, and when he had to state that the complaint against the doctor was in the nature of ao alteration and false making of a register in respect to the place of abode of a deceased person, his worship would see how im portant it was to enforce the Jaw on the subject, inas much as, in the instance to which he had referred, the Bank of England had hesitated or declined to pay be cause the party was not properly identified. Tile nature of the offence alleged to be committed in the pre sent instance was by entering the r es id ence o f t h e de ceased person in a place within the district, which would entitle the doctor to single fees, instead of the place which he knew to be the actual residence of the party deceased, through the means of which he claimed double fees and only accounted to the churchwardens for single ones. After some further observations explanatory of the technical points of the case, the learned counsel called the following witnesses : Mr. George Malby, sexton of the district church of St. Matthew, Brixton, deposed that he knew the perion of the late Mr. William Raven, who lived at Stockwell grove, which was without the district church of St. Mat • thew. The fee payable for the ground to persons resid ing in the district was six shillings, while it was double, or twelve shillings, to those without. He remembered the application to bury Mr. Raven being made by Mr. Haydon, an undertaker, in consequence of which witness went with him to the house of Dr. Vaughan, the incumbent, and introduced Mr. Hayden to him. The object of the undertaker's interview was to ascertain if Dr. Vaughan would take single fees for the burial of a body when death took place out of the district. The doctor's reply was that he could not take less than double fees. Dr. Vaughan was told in my presence where deceased died, viz., at Stockwell-grove. The doctor made answer to the undertaker, "Don't say anything about it. If anybody asks you where the funeral came from say Robert-street ; and if they ask you what the fees were, you are to tell a lie as to pay ing double fees." There was a certificate of the regis ter of death in the Kennington district, for Stockwell grove is in that district. At all events, it is certainly nct in the district of St. Matthew's, Brixton. The cer tificate I have been speaking of is the one required by the act of Parliament to be produced by the undertaker from the registrar of the district where the deceased died. Mr. Clarkson—What became of the certificate brought byllaydon, the undertaker ? Witness—He handed it to Dr. Vaughan, in my pre sence. The fees were paid at that time, viz., 1/. 15s. ; that was the amount of the double fees The single ground fee is 65. ; the desk fee for the minister is 3s 6d.; the clerk's fee, Is. Bd. ; and the sexton's fee is 6s. 4d. ; making altogether 17s. 6d, Mr. Haydon paid Dr. Vaughan double that sum, or W. 15s. It is the habit of Dr. Vaughan to keep a rough book, in which is entered the payment of these fees. That is the rough book pro duced. Every interment is entered in that book. At the date 19th Sept., 1854, I find an entry in Dr. Vaughan's handwriting as follows :—" William Raven, Robert-street, 33 years of age, 3/. 65." Robert-street is in the district of St. Matthew. Ido not know what has become of the certificate of death the undertaker handed to Dr. Vaughan. Mr. Charles Rogers, solicitor to the parish of St. Mat thew, Brixton, produced a copy of the registry of burial of Mr. Raven, which he had procured atßrixton church. It bore the signature of Dr. Vaughan, and was a perfect copy from the register book, and the whole of the entry, with the exception of the initials of Mr. Easton, the curate, by whom the ceremony seems to have been per formed, was in the handwriting of the doctor. Witnesses in two other cases, in which the entries in the register and fee book were falsified, were called. Their testimony was of a similar character to that given in the last case. The --- second case related to a person named James Bigby, who died at Guy's Hospital on the 20th Novem ber, 1854, and an application was made to Dr. Vaughan for his burial. The rev. doctor was told at the time that the deceased died at the hospital, and in the parish of St. Olavo, and he claimed and received double fees, yet only 6s. was entered in the fee•b@Mk as the amount received, and that was in the doctor's own handwriting. The third case related to Jane Webb, who also died out of fee district, and for whose burial double fees were charged, yet only single fees were entered, and instead of their proper place of death being entered some place within the district of St. Matthew was entered. In each of these cases certificates from the registrar bad been obtained by Mr. Rogers, but singular to say the ori ginal certificates of death, which should have been care fully filed, were missin g . Mr. Alfred Staff Prior, one of the churchwardens of the district church of St. Matthew, at Br 7 xt m, said he came into office at Easter this year, and was what was called the vicar's churchwarden. Portions of the book produced are in Dr. Vaughan's handwriting. On the 11th of June there is an entry of the burial of Jane Webb, who was described to be 65 years of age, and to have died in Acre-lane, which was in the district of St. Matthew. The whole of that entry and figure 6 was in the handwriting of Dr. Vaughan, but it bore also the initials of the curate. The fees for the ground were payable in moieties to the rector of the mother church of Lambeth and the churchwardens. He (witness) re ceived from Dr. Vaughan three shillings as half the fee paid in the case of Jane Webb, and was not aware at that time that a double fee had been charged. Mr. Clarkson—Then you suppose the entry of six shil lings to be correct, and therefore that you were paid your proper moiety. But I suppose if you had been made aware that the deceased died out of the district, and that double fees had been charged for her burial, you would have insisted on 65., which would have been your right t Witness—Certainly ; but I had not the slightest idea at the time that there was anything wrong. Mr. Clarkson—Have you taken the trouble since this inquiry took place to examine your vestry room, and can you find amongst others this certificate of the decease of Jane Webb ? Witness—l have done so, and cannot find one. Mr. Clarkson—ls the present proceeding consequent on a resolution of a meeting of the parish on these facts coming to their knowledge Witness—lt is so. Mr. Clarkson here said that this was all be bad to lay before his worship at present in support of his applica tion for a summons. Mr. Elliott observed that the case bad been very pro perly brought before him, and had the parties made an application for a warrant, considering it was a charge of felony, he should not have hesitated in granting it. But under the advice of the learned counsel they had brought it forward by way of an application for a summons. They might think it possible that some explanation might be given, and he should grant the summons as re quested. The summons was granted and a day named for its hearing. TRIAL AND CON - FICTION THE EX• PROVOST OF LEITH. On Saturday Mr. RuberCl 3 hilip, lately Provost of the burgh of Leith, was placed at the bar of the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh (before the Lord Justi3e Clerk and Lords Ivory and Cowan), charged with using lewd, indecent, and libidinous practices and behaviour to/cards girls under or about the age of puberty, as also assault committed in a lewd and indecent manner. The apprehension of the Provost of Leith some weeks ago on the charges referred to created such a great sen sation in that burgh that a public meeting of working men was held, at which the town council were called on to require Mr. Philip's resignation, on the ground that civil rulers should be above suspicion, and that no one should hold office while resting under such impeach. ment. The resignation Will given immediately after wards, under protestation of innocence. At the conclu sion of the judicial examination of the accused, Mr. Philip was admitted to bail for 1001., and remained at large until the day of trial. The ex Provost, who is a widower, aged 65, has long been one of the leading citizens of Leith, and was reputed to be a man of con siderable wealth. Since his appointment to the pro vostship, and previously, Mr. Philip had taken a pro minent part in the benevolent and religious enterprises of the community of Leith. He had held the office of ptsovost for four consecutive years. • The trial on Saturday was, according to custom in the Scotch courts in such cases, conducted with closed doors, the representatives of the press being excluded, as well as the public, until the jury had withdrawn. The indictment set forth that on the 26th of Septem bet, 1855, in •the pannel's office, Old Church-wharf, Leith, he committed the offence stated on the parsons of two girls., in presence of the other in each case, one of them, named M'Kenzie, being 10, the other, named Smith, being 12 years of age. Both were the daughters of working men. The pannel pleaded "Not guilty," and the case went to trial. There appeared for the prosecution the Solicitor• Gen eral and Mr. Fordyce ; for the prisoner Mr. Young and Mr. Millar. The evidence, pleadings, and judicial summ ar y an d charge occupied the Court rom 9 o'clock in the morning till 9 o'clock at night. The jury, after an absence of three quarters of au hour, returned with a verdict of guilty as libelled. The Lord Justice Clerk, in passing se►'stence, said (in a manner indicating both exhaustion and ' , emotion) the Court had always viewed such cases as crimes of the most aggravated and serious character. Such practices as the accused bad been convicted of were such as in variably tended to corrupt and debase the mind of those who were the victims in such cases. They were calcu lated to wound in the deepest manner the best feelings of our nature ; and that respectable woman, the mother of the girl Smith, said it was enough to drive her out of her mind. Cases had been known where mothers had in such circumstances been driven out of their judg ment. This not only tended to corrupt and demoralise the minds of the girls, and to familiarise them with prac tices of lewdness of the worst description, but they often had the result of making the unfortunate victims of such unnatural strange conduct the object of contempt—un just, to be sure, but no less intense—contempt among companions, who would be ready to taunt them with being the victims of such practices. They lost their self respect and the respect of their companions, and they were treated by loose and careless lads with a licensed familiarity which they thought they were entitled to prac tice on girls who had been treated with such indignity ; and they knew in-tances where the result had been, that the girls so treated had Leen, from the contempt, con tumely, and injustice to which they had been subjected, driven to the streets as prostitutes, and had ended a life begun in a happy family, and in innocence, in misery and wretchedness. He would say nothing as to this particular case ; it was unnecessary ; but the very circumstances which ought here to have produced restraint of all inordi nate and strange desires which might come across man only aggravated his guilt. Looking to the practice of the Court in regard to such sentences, and looking to the sentence pronounced that day in the case of a youth found guilty of libidinous practices even on one child, the Court had no other course left than to pronounce in the case of the prisoner at the bar the sentence of 15 years' transportation. The prisoner, who exhibited great fortitude and self possession in receiving sentence, was removed from the clock. 1 he Court adjourned at 10 o'clock. The case to which the Lord Justice Clerk referred in passing sentence was that ofJames Samuel, a pri% ate of the Edinburgh County Militia, aged only 17 years, who, having pleaded guilty of assault and libidinous practices on a girl of six years of age, was sentenced to transpor tation for 15 years.
