THE LATE At a SPECIAL MEETING of the GENERAL COMMITTEE of the BRITISH and FOREIGN UNITA RIAN ASSOCIATION, held on Tuesday, November 8, 1842, at the Rooms of the Society in St. Swithin's-lane, Lom bard-street, to take into consideration some TRIBUTE of RESPECT to the MEMORY of the late Dr. CHANNING, heart; and he unhesitatingly stated his belief that there was no man to whom her Majesty could with more safety entrust the administration of affairs than to Sir Robert Peel.—(Cheers.)" This is the pervading conviction. Sir Robert Peel is a safe Minister, and a safe Minister is the Minister that the country wants at the end of fourteen or fif teen years of constant turmoil by violent changes, and in an extraordinary perplexity of its foreign and colo nial relations produced by previous blunderings. The character of a safe Minister is, after all, the highest that a statesman can aspire to ; for it includes all the great qualities necessary in public affairs—boldness in great emergencies, forbearance, contentment, and an aversion to experiment " when wealth and peace have blessed the land." Pitt is justly the object of our grateful admiration—for what ? because he was " The pilot that weathered the storm ;" THE BANQUET AT GUILDHALL. Q, TEAM to and from CALCUTTA.

ROBERT ARMAND, seconded by RICHARD Tavt.on, Esq., F.L. S., 1. That this Committee have received with profound grief the melancholy tidings of the Death of the tiev. William Eller) Channing, D.D., of Boston, in the United States of America. On the motion of the Rev. JOSEPH HtmoN, LL.D., seeonded by HENRY JOHN PRESTON, ES( I ., 2. That, in common with Dr. Channing's fellow• citizens and countrymen, and a large portion of the British People, we held in high admiration his great and extraordinary talents, and re joiced in seeing them devoted, in all their strength and fulness, to the sacred cause of Freedom, Humanity, and Christian Truth, which he supported and adorned no less by his virtues than by his splendid intellectual endowments ; and that, amidst all Dr. Channing's invaluable exertions to enlighten the mind, exalt the spirit, and better the condition of his age, we are im pelled by our Christian feelings to point out and applaud espe cially his independence and courage in stemming public opinion in his own country, and pleading, with more than his wonted force of argument and fervour of language , on behalf of the long-oppressed and deeply-injured African Race. On the motion of the Rev. Enwmtn TAGART, F. S.A. and F. G. S., seconded by JAMNS HINE BALL, Esq., 3. That, whilst we feel that it would be doing wrong to the Catholic spirit of Dr. Channing. who spoke and wrote for the World and for Posterity, to claim him as the property of any existing sect, we cannot forbear recording our gratitude to the Father of Light, who, in the course of his Providence, qualified and disposed this distinguished Philanthropist to embrace, avow, and defend that form of the religion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, which, as Unitarian Christians, we derive from the Holy Scriptures, and believe to be eminently con ducive to enlightened Piety and sound Morality, and to all the best and highest interests of the Human Species.

GL6BE.--sir Robert Peal, at the Lord Mayor's dinner yesterday, asserted as amongst the objects of the policy of his Cabinet, "to encourage the demand for labour, and to extend the commercial prosperity of the country." Somebody has defined a knave a fool with a circumbendibus. Sir Robert Peel is a free trader with a circumbendibus. It may be ques tioned whether the circumbendibus does not spoil the free trader, as it does the fool. Your simple natural fbol, like neighbour Flamborough, in the Vicar of Wakefield, prospers, one might almost say, by sheer virtue of his recog nised blockheadism. Everybody is disposed to trust him in his dealings, as nobody thinks him capable of craft. But your fool with a circumbendibus circumvents himself, much more than others. Nobody deals with him who can help it, for all appreciate his talents for taking in. It may be questioned, we say, whether the circumbendibus po licy is better in public than in private dealings. It is a policy which can only indicate folly o;knavery, either in the practitioner, or in those he has to manage, or in both. If Sir R. Peel cannot open the foreign corn trade by straightforward methods, his manifest disposition to do so by a circumbendibus, shows how insidious was his professed oppOsition to the Whig measure, his professed championship of the Sliding Scale. His sliding scale, as Lord Palmerston pro phesied, seems proving a slippery thing indeed. Sir Robert Peel's manoeuvres, as regards the external corn trade, remind us of nothing so much as the underground engineering of the Rat of Dutch re nown, whose hole in a dyke let in the sea on a pro vince. Let Sir Robert Peel exult in his engineering at City dinners ! Illa se jactet in aula Peelus. Let him assert his claim to extending our commerce with a circurnbendibus—which, to judge from the state of things in the City, would seem to be rather a long one. Let him be followed in his speech by the Ameri can Minister, whose Government is driving at revenue by a circumbendibus, as Sir Robert at trade ; and who contrive (Sir Robert Peel and President Tyler) each to miss his object, precisely by the roundabout direction which each takes to gain it. America, by encouraging the importation of English fabrics at lowered duties—England, by encouraging the impor tation of American grain and flour in like manner — might progressively realise, the one the revenue, the other the trade and abundance wanted. But Sir Robert Peel has contrived that American grain shall come in by a circumbendibus. Nothing that chal lenges reciprocity—nothing that 'sets, up a standard of sound commercial principle, and entitles our diplomacy to claim the like application of those principles on the part of agricultural America—nothing like this is Sir Robert Peel's method of " extending our commerce." Nothing, moreover, in the way of revenue to this country does he seek to secure by a fixed duty. That would frighten the clod-pole con stituents of the Circumbendibus Cabinet: What does he try then ? Works a hole in the Canada and United States frontiers—contrives a cranny to let in corn from the United States, through the British provinces—which corn will pay duty, not to John Bull, but to Messrs. Hinckes, Baldwin, Lafontaine, and Company, the viceroys over the Queen of Eng land's representative in the Canadas—fbr the defence of which provinces John Bull has already decentish bills to pay, and whose revenues (to be appropriated by the said Hinckes, Baldwin, Lafontaine, and Com pany) he will farther have the satisfaction of swelling, by paying the taxes levied by these gentlemen on the grain which we shall get through their hands, from America, by a circumbendibus. STANDARD.—It may be worth the while to , follow the line opened by the Morning Chronicle yes terday, to the extent of again referring to the proceed ings of the Lord Mayor's Day. As our Contemporary sagaciously anticipated would be the case, the Minis ters were not mobbed : they were, on the other hand, received with courtesy and good-will. There was, however, sufficient Mobbing of certain members of the Common Council, to proveihat it was the presence of a good feeling towards her Majesty's advisers, not the absence of the mobbing faculty on the part of the populace, which saved the Ministers from affronts. The temper of an English crowd is never savage, but once or twice yesterday the temper of the crowd was anything but demure. Still Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues were throughout the objects of respect. The reason of this was fairly given by the Whig-Radical Lord Mayor in proposing the health of her Majesty's Ministers : "Though he differed from them in politics, he believed they had the interests of the country at m bringing forward that very important measure early in the session, in order to avail himself of the great saving to be hereby effected in the public ex penditure, which would exceed 1,000,0001. annually. 'This last, however, is probably only a plausible con jecture, for it may safely be assumed, without any information at all, that such a subject must occupy the attention of any finance Minister, who is looking around him for the means of a reduction of expendi ture, more particularly at the present time, when the great abundance of unemployed capital is pressing on the funds and producing a great advance on them, which, under the in fluence of the new tax on property, few persons had anticipated. With respect to the practicability of the reduction, the majority of sound opinions in the City is at this moment against it, unless such a bonus were offered for the conversion as would increase the eapitab.white it effected at most but a s-nall reduction in the interest on the debt. This, it is generally contended, would not be good policy, as it is held almost universally to be the only safe principle to adopt in the reduction of debt, that the lower denomination of stock shall have risen either to par, or so near it, that the holders of the higher de nomination of stock shall be willing to accept it with out any bonus. Our Three per Cents. have a consi derable rise to undergo before that point is attained, and the very large amount (above 200,000,0001.) to which the reduction is to apply must make a prudent Minister pause before he exposes himself and the country to the consequences of a failure, and the diffi culty of providing for the numerous dissentients who would reject the conversion and require payment in full. This they would be encouraged to do by the recollection of what happened at the last conversion, when the dissentients, in consequence of a fall in the funds, which took place afterwards , derived a con siderable advantage from holding out. We have heard one suggestion made on this subject which is worth mentioning, because, though it removes the final conver s i on to a distant time; it offers a v e ry s a f e mode of effecting it, and that is to give to each holder Tofhrleoe per oLTchernetes-.aanndd-aiioisa.lf Longp Annuity. Whetherer Cents., 1001. in the this is likely to meet th e views of the Prime Minister or not, it is impossible to say, but it is certain that the greatest caution is requisite in the mode of bringi ng forward any measure of conversion where the amount of debt to be dealt with is so large, and when the po's sible consequences are considered of effecting the con version by the aid of new and large issues of money upon such markets as those i n pr oorcot years to come. The panic of 1825, Which followed the conversion of the preceding year, is distinctly traceable to that cause, and has produced injuries which, though removed from public notice, are still felt among the trading part of the community. POST.—Allusions contin ue t o be ma de to a proba ble reduction of the New Th ree - an d-a-Half per Cent. Annuities, and if the state of the markets be such as to favour the project, it is to be hoped and believed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will not hesitate to avail himself of so legitimate an opportunity of lightening the public b ur d ens. Th e conversion of the funds in question into a Three per Cent. Stock may, if accomplished, be attended with a saving to the country, allowing for the trifling bonus that will most likely form an element in the Right Hon. Gentle man s arrangement, of perhaps some three-quarters of a million sterling. Such a saving in the present cir cumstances of her Majesty's Treasury is most desir able, and it would be thought th a t no voice could be re asonably raised against it ; b u t least of all the voices of those who affect to feel for the iprivations of the people. The Government broker has lately been' in the market snaking investments in stock for account of u the savings banks. These investments have nothing or peculiar about them. They are transac tions naturally arising out of the system of savings banks, and such as may be expected to take place at intervals from half year to half year, but, as a contem plated reduction in the interest of a portion of the subject of conversation in d n e ey bt c h ir a c s le be s, c o o c i c n a e sio a n is taken by the Liberal press to censure the Chancellor of the E 1 for an xc sequer an assumed participation, on his part, in the operations of Mr. Mullins, which, after all, have been operations publictheso of moderate extent and of no extraordinary import ance. The abundance of money:i v alone a sufficient solution of the cause of the late rise in Consols, with out an indulgence of idle suspicions of attempts being made to carry up prices by artificial and unworthy expedients ; while the state of the markets themselves, and the easy position of the Bank, must naturally have presented to Mr. Goulburn's mind a condition of things not to be overlooked. The Bank was never more free from pressure, and the prospect of a reverse was never more remote than at the present moment. The corn speculation, which had been for years in creasing in its gigantic proportions, has at length been reduced to a more manageabl e limit, and may, for the time to come, be readily dealt with. The exchanges are at an elevation highly adapted to our financial pur poses, and it may be years before the Bank Directors have at their command a stock of bullion so large as that which they now hold, and with so little employ ment for it in the ordinary pursuits of commerce. CHRONICLE.—The provincial journals perceive the importance of the proceedintcs in the Canadian Parliament, regarding the adm ission of American wheat and flour into those colonies at a fixed duty of three shillings per quarter, which we have of late spe cially alluded to under this head; and we may add exclusively so, in reference to the metropolitan press. That singularity of position is, of itself not worth mentioning, were it not that the silence of the London Ministerial prints upon the subject shows that they look upon it as very dangerous ground to touch upon. It is a question of vast national i mportance, and in volves within itself essentially the principle of fixity of duty . on the importation of foreig n corn. The Provincial Parliament passed a Bill to levy a fixed duty of three shillings per quarter on American wheat imported to Canada, on the expressed condition and understanding that on their so doing, all wheat transhipped from Canada to this country, whether grown in Canada or not, should be admitted as Cana dian produce into British ports, and pay duty as such accordingly. Of that fact there cannot be a doubt or question raised; so that when the act of the Pro vincial Parliament takes effect the produce of the great corn-growing States of America may all be imported to England via Canada, under a duty of 3s. per quarter paid in that colony, and under a further maximum duty of Gs. per quarter when entered for home consumption in England, making in all a maxi mum duty of Bs. per quarter when the average is under 555. per quarter, and a duty of three shillings and one shilling per quarter when the average reaches 58s. per quarter. This measure will take effect from and after the sth of July next, when American wheat will thus be admissible Into English ports, at a duty of Bs. per quarter ; for that is the s ubstantial meaning of the operation of the law passed by the Provincial Parliament of Canada in accordance with the sugges tions contained in Lord Stanley's dispatch of the 2d of March last. The namber of persons who travelled by railways in the United Kingdom from the Ist of January to the Ist of July, in 1841, was 8,901,916, a n d th e gro ss sum paid for their fares during that half-year was 1,10,546/, 15s. 4d. The Guildhall, onWednesday, was more crowded than usual. The hospitality of the Lord Mayor seemed to outrun the accommodation afforded by the hall, great as this is ; and at several tables parties were somewhat inconveniently crowded. The reception of her Majesty's Ministers, with the exception of Sir R. Peel, was cold in the extreme. We presume from the politics of the present Lord Mayor that there was a preponderance of Liberals present; and their conduct certainly bore a favourable contrast to that displayed by those assembled on former occasions, when the majority was the other way. Nobody, this year, was guilty of the gross in decorum of hissing any one of her Majesty's Ministers ; but from Lord Stanley to Mr. Under-Secretary Hope, not a Member of the Government received a cheer on announcement. As we said before, we except Sir R. Peel, who was loudly and cordially greeted. Any one who has ever attended at these festivals, need not bo told that few of the speeches are heard with any distinctness, and that the few who do suc ceed in rendering their sentences audible at some dis tance from the head table, purposely abstain from any allusion to party topics. The character of the speeches yesterday did not differ from that hitherto observed— the grand staple of their composition was the veriest common-place. We shall not weary our readers by reporting what must be little else than a reprint of the addresses delivered in former years ; but shall give those points in the leading speeches, which we think worthy of being noticed. Amongst the guests were the following :—The Foreign Ministers, the Duke of Buccleugh, the Mar quis of Downshire, Earl of Haddington, Earl of Arundel, Lord W. Lennox, Lord J. Russell, Lord Stanley, Viscount Lowther ' Lord D. Stewart, Lord Fitzgerald and Vesci, Lord Denman, and the Judges, Right Hon. Sir R. Peel, Mr. Goulburn, Sir E. Knatchbull, Hon. H. T. L. Corry, Hon. C. P. Vil liers, Hon. W. Baring, Sir G. Clerk, Sir T. Fre mantle, Sir H. Meux, Sir J. Easthope, Sir F. Booth, Sir C. Hunter, Sir P. Laurie, Mr. Hume, Sir J. Hensler, Captain Hensler, the Sergeants, Sir T. Wilde, Mr. J. Jervis, several of the Under Secreta ries oiState, Mr. Walter, the Aldermen, Recorder, &c. The LORD MAYOR, in giving the first toast, " The Queen," dwelt on the talent and energy exhibited by the present Sovereign since she ascended the Throne —qualities which were outshone only by her exalted virtues.—(Cheers.) Then followed the toasts of " Prince Albert," " The Queen Dowager," " The Prince of Wales." In reference to the last, his Lord ship observed, that that day being "the anniversary of the birth of the Prince of Wales would long be memorable in the annals of the country.—(Loud cheering followed this allusion.) His Lottpstur next gave " The Army and Navy." Colonel T. WOOD returned thanks, and acknow ledged, on the part of the two services, the joint com pliment which had been paid them. He need not say that they were ready, whenever their country called on them, to do justice to any cause in which they might be engaged, and to emulate the great deeds of those who had gone before them. The LORD MAYOR next gave " The Late Lord Mayor," who was loudly cheered, and returned thanks in a few words. The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Health of her Majesty's Ministers."—(Cheers.) Though he differed from them in politics, he believed they had the interests of the country at heart; and he unhe sitatingly stated his belief that there was no man to whom her Majesty could with more safety entrust the administration of affairs than to Sir Robert Peel. Sir R. PEEL, on rising to return thanks, was loudly cheered. Ho said : My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen — It is my duty, on behalf of the Ministers of the Crown, and on behalf of those Members of the Go vernment who have the happiness of being present on this occasion, as well as those who have the mis fortune to be absent—to return you thanks for the compliment you have just paid us. Our cordial ac knowledgments are due to you, my Lord Mayor, for the manner in which you have proposed this toast, and to the company for the manner in which they have accepted it.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, al though I am addressing you as a Minister of the Crown, and on behalf of Ministers of the Crown, and although it is difficult to forget altogether the public character with which I am invested, yet I assure you there Is no man 'who fooln inure deeply than I do on this dayand on this occasion, that there ought to be a studious abstinence from every political subject which may tend to excite the harshness of party con flict. Gentlemen, whatever may be our dif ferences of opinion on public subjects, and however earnestly in the exercise of our right of free discussion, we may contend for the maintenance Of our own views, yet there is one feeling in which I am sure we all here partake—it is one which in this hall should predominate, and one which shall not cer tainly be weakened by me—l mean a feeling of pride in the character and reputation of the City of London —(Cheers)--of pride in its historical recollections — of pride, above all, in its pre-eminence in point of popu lation, wealth, and commercial importance, over all the cities of the civilised world.—(Loud cheers.) Studiously adhering to the rule which prohibits an indulgence in party politics on these occasions, the Ministers of the Crown are here for the purpose of giving their sanction to that happy oblivion of party differences ; but we may yet be allowed to promise our cordial co-operation with the mu nicipal and magisterial authorities of the City, in every matter which concerns the interests of the City.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, no man knows better than I do the importance to the public interests of such a co-operation. I have had proofs, within the last few months, when the people of this city were exposed to the danger of disturbance, that there did prevail between the Municipal authorities of the City and the Executive Government—between those invested with magisterial authority and those re sponsible for the superintendence of police—an entire forgetfulness of all party differences, and a warm and earnest concert in devising the best means for guard ing against the evils that threatened the community, which gr'atly bondutect to the prftervation of tran quillity.—(Cheers.) I feel confident, from the charac ter of your present Chief Magistrate—differing as I do from him on many political subjects—that he will imitate those who have preceded him, and that, when the public interests require such a course, he will cheerfully lay aside all party considerations. I feel confident, also, that—no unimportant point—the cha racter of this City for hospitality and conviviality will not be impaired while he holds the highest office amongst you.—(Hear, and a laugh.) From the part which the Lord Mayor has taken in Parliament on the subject of the general consumption of the country, and from the earnestness with which he brought his know ledge to bear on this topic, I feel the utmost confidence in predicting that when he lays down his office the character of the City, for the becoming virtue of hospitality, will not have been tarnished in his hands. --(Much laughter.) In returning thanks on th e p ar t of her Majesty's Ministers, I hope I shall not, as the head of the Government, be considered as trans gressing the rule I have already adverted to, if I as sure you that we are not unmindful of the obliga tions which office imposes. Many may differ from us as to.the mode of effecting the objects we have in view. Few can differ from us as to the propriety of those objects. Our earnest wish is to cultivate the relations of peace, and to extend its inestimable blessings in every way consistent with the permanent and comprehensive interests of the country.—(Cheers.) The object of our policy is to maintain the lustre of the British arms on every occasion on which an appeal to them may be necessary. The object of our policy is to encourage the demand for labour, and to extend our commercial prosperity.—(Loud cheering.) The object of our policy is Co maintain the public credit and that character for public faith which no country can lose without losing, also the main foundation of its strength and stability. We shall consider it amongst the most favourable indications of the result of that policy if, in a city so intimately connected with the manufaeiuring and commercial interests as this is, we shall find its commerce to be in a flourish ing state. And with all sincerity I can assure you that next to the approbation of our Sovereign, and the approbation of our own consciences, we can re ceive no higher reward for our public services—there can be no greater excitement in our exertions to pro mote the public interest, than the hope of attaining and preserving the favourable opinion and confidence of the City of London.—(The Right H on. Baronet sat down amid loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Foreign Mi nisters." Mr. EYERETT returned thanks, but we are sorry to say was very indistinctly heard. He most rea dily admitted the importance of that great commercial emporium, the City of London, whose prosperity was felt throughout the civilised world. He heartily re sponded to the sen timent which the Right Honour able Gentlemen had delivered as to the necessity of strengthening the good understanding which now happily prevailed amongst the nations of the world; and he might perhaps be permitted to express his gra tification A t finding the questions which had arisen between his own country and England recently settled on a foundation equally honourable and beneficial to both. " The Duke of Buccleuch and the House of Peers" MS the next toast. The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The Members of the House of Commons?' He should not dwell on the merits of that assembly, as he was himself a Mem ber of it. He had on that occasion endeavoured to bring many Members of it together of different poli tical opinions, but of unquestioned talents and public integrity. his Noble Friend (Lord John Russell), he was happy to say, was present—(Loud and con tinued c!ieer.)—and the Noble Lord on his right (Lord Stanley) was equally entitled to be called on as the representative of that assembly, of which they were both such ornaments.—(Hear.) As his opinions did not coincide with those of Lord Stanley, he thought it but fair thathe should give that Noble Lord's health in connexion wish the toast. He then gave " Lord Stanley, and the Members of the House ot Commons." Lord STANLEY said that on any occasion he should feel some inconvenience in endeavouring to return thanks for such an assembly as the House of Commons, before an audience so numerous, so respectable, and differing, probably, so widely in political opinion as the present ; but the irksomeness of the task wail greatly alleviated by the manner in which his Lord ship had introduced the toast. He was for some time in doubt whether he was intended to be connected with the compliment to the House of Commons, or whether it was not meant that that honour should be reserved for his Noble Friend the representative of the City of London. And, after all, he doubted whether his Lordship, in adhering to the prin ciple of strict impartiality, did . not intend that his Noble Friend and himself should join in a sort of oratorical duet in praise of the House of Commons.— (Much laughter.) But this he would venture to say, that although, perhaps, there had not been an entire accordance of opinion between himself and his Noble Friend, yet, with all sincerity, and from the bottom of his heart, he could assert that none but political differences existed between them, and that friendship was never interrupted which he was always so proud to enjoy. —(Cheers.) He held it to be one of the highest boasts of their free Constitution, that a free expression of individual opinion and of political dif ferences was held compatible with the most sincere private respect.—(Cheers.) He trusted that whilst the llouse of Commons promoted the general welfare of the State, and truly represented its great and com plicated interests, the parties into which it was divided would ever remember to give to their oppo nents the credit for sincerity and good intention that each division claimed for itself. These were the sen- timents of the people whom they represented, and he was sure that that body faithfully reflected, in this respect at least, the views of the constituency. The LORD MAYOR next gave the Members for the City of London. After a short speech from Mr. Masterman, who was very indistinctly heard, Lord J. RUSSELL rose, and was received with seve ral rounds of cheering. He had a due sense of the honour which devolved on him as representative of the City of London, connected as that City was with the history of our most ancient popular municipal insti tutions, and remarkable as it had ever been for the enterprise of its citizens, and the..magnificence of its establishments. They had heard that night from high authority, the demands which the interests of the country warranted the Government in enforcing. Let him be permitted to say, that whenever the Crown should think it necessary to appeal to the people, there was no people that would respond to that call with greater energy, greater virtue, or greater per severance.—(Cheers.) If it should be our unhappy fate to be involved in the contests of war, no nation could produce men from the naval and military ranks more determined to uphold its honour. And if, as he trusted, it should please Providence to bless us with continued peace, there was no nation that could snatch from us the rewards of its holy victories.—(Cheers.) His Noble Friend had said that, though they differed on political subjects, there had been no interruption to their friendship. Ile begged to acknowledge and con firm the truth of that sentiment.—(Cheers). He should always pursue that course in Public which his duty pointed out, however painful on some occasions a strict adherence to it might be; but he trusted that the firm declaration of his opinions, could npvor ahat.e or destroy those friendships which were the pride and pleasure of his private life.—(Loud cheers.) Sir R. PEEL then gave " The late Lady Mayoresss." His late LORDSHIP returned thanks, and with great naivete observed, that it would ill become a man to praise his own wife.—(Laughter.) All he should say was, let what she had done speak for her. This short and pithy acknowledgment was received with • much laughter, and the Lord Mayor soon after retired. CHRONOLOGY FOR THE YEAR 1842.

To-morrow the new Bankrupt Act will come into operation. There are 94 provisions in the measure, gathering into one the principles of the law, and re pealing all other 'Acts at variance with the present. The alterations are of an extensive character, giving protection to both debtor and creditor ; and whilst it enforces on the former moderation in his transactions, affords to the latter remedies which he has not hitherto possessed. In future cases the bend of the petitioning creditor to the Lord Chancellor is dispensed with and which they fiats must be forthwith sent to the Court to they are directed, to be opened within three days, or within fourteen days after the expiration of the time allowed, by any creditor whose debt should amount to the required sum, and on his proving the legal ,requisites. A single creditor of 501., two amount ling to 701., and three to 1001., are now in a situa tion to obtain fiats, and those whose debts are not due can join in the applications. The denomina tion of traders is increased, including auctioneers and apothecaries. By this Act a new feature in the law is exhibited—namely, the power of a creditor to summon a trader before a Commissioner after he has made an affidavit of debt, and delivered his account. If a trader should not appear, or on appearance refuse to comply with the requisitions imposed, he may on the 15th day after notice be declared a bankrupt and dealt with accordingly, provided the fiat be issued within two months of the filing of the affidavit. By the 23d section it is declared that before notice, of adjudication of a bankruptcy is published in the London Gazette, or any warrant of seizure put into force, the trader shall have five days' notice to show cause to the Court against the validity of such adjudi cation. If at the expiration of the time allowed no cause should be shown, then the bankruptcy to be in serted, or he may forego the time in order to facilitate the proceedings. The bankrupt is ,to be protected from arrest, and provided an examination should be adjourned sine die, the Court may indorse his protec tion for any time not exceeding three months. There are some stringent clauses for fraud, falsification of books, and obtaining goods under false pretences, de claring the parties liable on either grounds guilty of misdemeanor, and to transportation or imprisonment.. In all cases, after Friday, the certificate is to be granted by the Court, and allowed by the Court of Review. Creditors are not to sign a certificate, nor is the same to be granted unless the bankrupt has conducted him self as a fair and honest trader. It is enacted by the 38th section that the certificate is to be peremptorily denied to traders, and if granted void, where it shall be proved that a bankrupt has lost 201. in one day by gaming, or 2001. in the preceding year of the fiat, or 2001. in stock jobbing, or has concealed books or pro perty. There is an amendment respecting allowances to bankrupts ; none to be granted until a year after the fiat, and then in the following manner : five per cent., and not to exceed 400/., if 10s. in the pound be paid; 7i per cent., and not exceeding 500/., provided 12s. 6d. be paid, and 10 per cent., and not exceeding 600/., if 15s. be paid. The other alterations relate to the appointment of 12 Commissioners for the country, and to the extension of the law into country districts, for which districts 30 official assignees are to be ap pointed by the Lord Chancellor. The salaries are fixed by the 76th section. 2,500/. to the Judge of the Court.of Review, 2,0001. to the London Cl;rnni s _ sioners, and 1,800/. a year to the country Commis sioners. Power is given to grant compensation to the Commissioners whose offices are abolished. New rules are to be made to carry the Act into operation. GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.

ER v c T E I . LE N N a A r v r A a CLUB,ve s of personal o R R Eamdtzs adventure are considered the most entertaining generally o the r S press produces, and those in which theheroes in o g f our own times are brought bef ore us , canno t f a il to interest the most indifferent reader. From this cause there can be no doubt of the attraction of a forthcoming publi cation under the title of " The Naval Club," by M. H. Barker, Esq. (better known as " The Old Sailor, author of " Tough Yarns," &c.), which, it is said, will contain the most striking pictures of the peculiar scenes and incidents which come under the observa tion of members of this popular branch of the United Services. The author's experience as a delineator of naval life, is a guarantee that his work will be a faith ful representation of our doings at sea ; and it has been rumoured that his pages contain many highly interesting particulars, not to be found elsewhere, of the last war, and some of its chief actors, including, among others, his late Majesty King William. FRACAS AT ZANTE.—CORFU, OCT. 11.—On the 3d inst. a fracas. took place in Zante between the sol diers and inhabitants, which might have been attended with most serious consequences. The facts in a few words, and without exaggeration, are as follow the barrack of St. Lucia, sear the Grand Sabionera, is stationed the grenadier company of the 97th Regi ment. Four soldiers of this company, at about eight P.M., entered a canteen, about fifty paces distant from their quarters, and after having taken their w ine de sired to retire without paying. The owner oppos e d them, and one of the soldiers began to laugh, and gave a whistle. At , t his si g nal almo st all the co mpany, severely of arme d with sticks, rushed out, and a violent scene ensue d. Two Zantiots were sever e l y few d minutes, wounded and b y the blows from the sticks ; one died imminentina the express left. Of the soldiers three and the others were threea N% n . g e e when rer woundedthe contused. The police force arrived in time badly ler one in the was tumult, whi c h th reatened to i ncrease, an d bt to stones, o u tehla state in the head, order was restored, according to our letters from Zante. Several orders are said to have been given to the troops, a n d to-ni g h t leave this f or rbintewiththtewoGeeyormsepar nie steam-frigate so thef 4to relieve th e 9'th , who will be brought to Corfu. 2 d w ill - METROPOLITAN BURYING PL iCES —Mr. George Alfred 'Walker, the surgeon, has commenced a series of letters addressed to the Editor of the Morning Herald, on the evils arising from the interment of the dead in crowded towns. No man is better qualified for such a task than Mr. Walker, since to his exer tions it unquestionably is owing that attention has of late been prominently drawn to a question of so much public importance. On this point a highly respectable pe riodical (the Provincial Medical Journal), after advert ing to the labours of the recent Parliamentary Corn ' mittee, We cannot lay aside the question of intramural sepulture for the present without 'render ing unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and ac knowledging the obligations which we owe to Mr. G. A. Walker for the public spirit which he has evinced during the whole of this delicate and:difficult in q uiry of To Mr. Walker is due the merit first having stro ngl y directed public attention to the evils arising from the interment of bodies in towns ; through Mr. Walker's zeal a great portion of the evidence given before the Committee was obtained, and now that the inquiry has been conducted to a satisfactory conclusion we trust that some mark of p u bli c res pect will be bestowed ou the author of a measure from which the public must reap such great and enduring advantages.
