the force, the enemy reinforced the orchard, and moved out to attack us. I was therefore obliged to advance be fore the force arrived. The enemy's positions were quickly carried in succession. One party was driven towards the 3d Irregular Cavalry, who pursued, and the remainder fled to the village of Mammon Khail, into which the main body of the enemy were at this moment driven by the fire of our artillery. They opened a fire on us, ill-directed, but so heavy that we were obliged to attack the village. They fled when we reached it, and the Sappers pursued to the fort, but were so exhausted by the march from Futteabad, and the previous operations, that the enemy was able to enter and barricade the gate. Their fire was kept down by one party of the Sappers, while the rest climbed on each other's shoulders over a .half repaired bastion, about eight feet high, aria covered with thorns. The enemy fled over the walls on the other side, leaving the rear gate barricaded. This, and de !wending from the walls, lost so much time, that pursuit was nearly hopeless as far as our now exhausted men were concerned. We pressed on with the least fatigued, however, and, keeping up to the hills, forced the enemy into ground. Our cavalry were approaching, and we had the satisfaction of seeing the cavalry overtake and attack them. Parties were now directed to destroy the forts aban doned on the cavalry approaching, while with a few men I pushed on to the last village near the hills. There we surprised the enemy, whose head-quarters were there, driving them out of the village and adjoining camp, and obtaining their tents, cattle, and ammunition, and a good quantity of provisions. The enemy (who were evidently the Jezailehees from Caubul) fled to the hills, the fire of which swept the village. I was now directed to take a party of her Majesty's 9th Foot—the Sappers being now worn out, except about six men—and attack the hills ; the first and second heights were carried at the point of the bayonet, and flanking parties having turned the shoulders of the high range, we were advancing up it when the main force ar rived, and our further progress was stayed. My sepa rate command now ceased, and I was soon after ordered with the Sappers to head-quarters. The conduct of the troops, officers and men, European and Native, was admirable ; and it is due to the 26th Native Infantry to mention, that in storming the second height with a party of her Majesty's 9th Foot, a party of the former corps joined us, and behaved with the same spirit as the rest.—l have, &c.

Four buoys have been placed on the north side of the channel leading to the Bay of Smyrna. They are painted black, having the depth of water in which they lie marked on the head in Roman cha racters, excepting the outer, or. .westernmost, which is marked S.W. Spit. This lies in four and a half fathoms on the S.W. projection, or elbow of the shoal. A mile and a half eastward of this is the mouth of the Hermus, which may be known by the rushes growing near it. The shoal water is very apparent. The baulk is nearly dry, and covered with bushes and stumps of trees. A beacon has been placed on its outer edge in five feet water. There are five fathoms at half a cable's distance south of it, thence increasing to 13 and 25. Three quarters of a mile east of this is another spit, on which a buoy has been placed, in three fathoms, E. by N., one mile and a quarter from N.-is a buoy, in four fathoms, and E. one quarter N. one and one eighth of a s mile ; further, another in three fathoms ; this last is on the spit opposite St. James's Castle, where the channel is only three cables and a half wide, and the shoal very steep, there being six and seven fathoms immediately without the buoy, and at fifty yards distance within it not more than six or seven feet; this buoy is placed on the most project ing point, and nearly in the middle of the flat head which bounds the channel. They are paced on the extreme points of the shoal ; no vessel should endea vour to pass beyond a direct line drawn through them; by keeping without she will avoid all danger. The peak of Ninnas at the middle of the hollow between the two northermost peaks in Long Island bearing N.W. by W. clears the S.W. elbow in sixteen fathoms at three cables distance. A ship maypass close to the buoy, as the b an k i s steep, but if bound out of the Gulf should not bring the peak to the northward of the mark until you are one mile and a half N.W. of the buoy, as there is da ng e r on the western projection of the bank. The nor th end of the old castle over the city of Smyrna on the south end of St. James's Castle E., one quarter S., clears the south edge of the bank leading close to the S.W. spit mouth of Hermus, and Hermus spit buoy ; to the eastward of this buoy a vessel may stand more to the northward, taking care not to pass the line of the buoys. No mark can be given for standing towards this part of the Bank. That used in the Narrowa abreast of the Castle is exceedingly difficult for a stranger to make out, and can only be distinguished in certain heights. It is the cliff over Kooklujah, on with the south end of the barracks at Smyrna, bearing E. half S.: the barrack is a long white building near the water, in the south end of the town. High mountains rise behind Kooklujah Cliff, which prevent it being seen in the mornings when the sun is behind it. When Mount Sipylus (which has a black appearance from the trees on its summit) comes on with Menimen Scala, bearing N.R[three-quarters N., you will be to the eastward of the shoal. The coast from the St. James's Castle eastward is steep and clear of danger. The hearings are, true variation, 12 deg. westerly. THOMAS GRAVES, ommander of H. f. Surveying vessel Beacon.

This increase in the quantity of the ship ping, combined with its increased efficiency, in the face of a much restricted and almost stag nant trade, is the chief cause of the want of freight and the fall in the value of ships. In the slang language of the anti-free-traders, it will be said that the shipowners have over traded. They have produced a glut of shipping. Thus the improvement in building and navigat ing ships, and the application of steam to navi gation, some of the proudest triumphs of human skill, come by an erroneous policy to be the misfortune, or even to be reckoned as the faults or errors, of those who adopt or achieve them. Bad men are those, according to this theory, who facilitate navigation. At present those who endeavour to improve agriculture must share this reproach. The value of its pro duce has fallen, and notwithstanding Gur people are famishing, and notwithstanding the tendency of population to increase, there is a glut of agri cultural produce as well as of 'shipping. In truth, what happens to the shipping interest may be assumed as a type of what happens to every producing interest. It is everywhere de sirous to produce as much and as cheaply as pos sible. The competition amongst its own members introduces exertion and stimulates invention. New contrivances, new machinery, new manures, greater skill in draining ground, and in sailing ships, continually tend in every branch of busi ness to produce every thing useful to man which cart he made by labour at a less cost. As ma chinery is improved, mills are multiplied ; as ships are more easily navigated, the number of them is increased; as the ground is better under drained, a greater breadth is sown with corn. Thus, through every branch of business, competition stimulates both invention and exertion, and all the producing classes, without any exception continually labour to supply commodities at a cheapening rate and more of them. There is a universal striving to this end, and if it be not, therefore, a law of nature that men should pro duce commodities as cheaply as possible, neither is it a law of nature that streams should flow to wards the sea. The theorists, however, those who convert the proudest triumphs of skill into misfortunes, maintain that it is a folly and an error to produce commodities at a cheap rate, and they make laws to prevent the accomplishment of that for which all men in business strive. Corn-laws and similar enactments in England, Tariffs in France, Ger many, and the United States, one and all, have for their object to prevent commodities becoming cheap and abundant. The trade policy of every Government is in opposition to the struggles of mankind. It defies the laws of nature, as a man defies them who throws himself from a house top, and is bruised and maimed for his folly. When HENGIST and HORSA, or when any of the other ancient German or Saxon Chiefs, led forth, from the too narrow abode of their people, some great swarms in search of a new home, they obeyed the necessary tendency of society in those days when art was little advanced, and the earth but scantily peopled. They were the real leaders of men, and were willingly honoured and obeyed as such. But modern Governments, pretending to be the leaders of the people, set themselves up in direct opposition to the tendency of society, and will be obeyed by force. They make barriers of themselves to prevent the pro gress of mankind, instead of leading them on. It is the conflict between their restrictions, prevent ing the free exchange of goods between one na tion and another, and everywhere preventing the increase of population and wealth, which causes a glut of shipping, a glut of manufactures, a glut of agricultural produce, and which turns the skill and ingenuity of man into curses. On the one hand we have all the producing classes everywhere striving to make commodities cheap and abundant; and on the other, we have Go vernments, under the guidance of a theory that cheapness is an evil, striving to prevent things becoming cheap. Everywhere, therefore, the bulk of society in its practice, and legislation by its enactments, aims at accomplishing contradictory and incompatible ends; and the producers of every description find their exertions foiled, and their prosperity endangered. Though there are many complaints of the ship ping being out of employment, we are pleased to see by the last finance accounts that the number of seamen had steadily increased from 191,232 in 1839, to 210,198 in 1841. As long as their num ber increases, we should care little for what ship owners might suffer in pocket; but they cannot suffer without ultimately fewer seamen being em ployed. A more narrow-minded set of politicians generally speaking, and a less generous race of men, than the shipowners we are scarcely ac quainted with. We can never forgive them for continually allowing their servants (the sea men) to be impressed without making one honest, bold, and united exertion to put an end to such an iniquity. Had they had the least care for the men who had make them wealthy they might, long ago, have put down that national disgrace. But they are accused, and we believe the accusation, of tolerating this abuse, because it placed the seamen somewhat more in their power, and somewhat at their mercy. They would rather be served by men who may be en slaved, and therefore kept humiliated and de based, than by free men. Till they exert them selves to put an end to impressment—till they forbid it, which they have the power to do, ice shall lose no Opportunity of reminding them of their ungenerous conduct, and of recording their dishonour. The triennial Charge of the Bishop of LLAN DAFF to his Clergy, though generally displaying that ability and good sense for which his Lordship is distinguished, is very equivocal on the impor tant subject which now agitates the Church, and must have left. his hearers in doubt whether he regarded" The Tracts for the Times," as tending to evil or to good. While he blames the Pusey ites for designating the " Pora's usurpation " an ordinance of GOD, and calls upon diocesans and clergy to resist a doctrine so dangerous to their power, he bestows the highest commendationi on other portions of the " Tracts." In one part of the Charge he says there is in the writings of the innovators a tone of fondness and indulgence for " Holy Mother Church," showing what lurks beneath the garb ot amiability; and in ano ther he declares that the " Tracts" had displayed the nature of the Catholic Church, and had raised an awful sense of the history of man's redemp tion. " These," he adds, " were principles which were never absent from the teachings of the Church, which he could not but admit were dormant when those publications appeared." This is blowing hot and cold in the same breath. The Bishop seems disposed to allow those teachers to proceed to any lengths with their Popish rites and doc trines, provided they do not desert in a body to the " Holy Mother," and in order to deter them from such a rash act, of which, however, there is no great fear, he points out the false teachings of the Church of Rome, which had destroyed the principle of unity, by substituting a spurious earthly dominion—by teaching that to obey one chief was unity. Thi s is inconsistent language, and only shows to what shifts even the ablest of nien are driven when they abuse rivals in re ligion as well as in trade. We believe it is generally allowed that in no Christian Church whatever is there such unity of faith as in the Catholic Church, and that this arises from the very circumstance which the learned Prelate condemns ; nay more, the Epis copal Church of England is founded on the very same principle. Each Bishop is looked up to as a minor Pope in his own diocese ; some of the Right Reverend Fathers claim almost equal power, both spiritual and temporal; and occa sionally threaten to rebel against the earthly head recogni se d by the canons of the Church. But has the Anglican system, which the Bishop r7ztols at the expense of a rival establishment, been effectual in preserving unity ? Are there not more dissensions now than at any former period, and a greater variety of sects than ever existed in any other country, all taking their rise from some great defect in our Established Church In commencing the Charge he ad- , mits the fact, and deplores the divisions and dis cord which prevail among Christians. Will the Puseyite doctrines tend to heal these divisions, or will the half praise and half blame which the Prelates at theirvisitationsbeAow on N Ewm ANand his party, encourage Wesleyans and Methodists to return to the bosom of the Anglican Church? Dr. COPLESTON will in vain urge his clerical brethren to promote unity, and bring the stray sheep into the fold, while Popery is rearing. its head in the midst of it, the Primate of all England is calmly and silently looking on, and one-half of the Episcopal bench is arrayed against the other. The news from Canada to which we adverted last week, relative to the duties to he im posed by the Canadian Parliament on wheat to be imported :hrough Canada in England, excites a good deal of attention in the provincial jour nals. The question has two aspects. We no• ticed only that unconstitutional one of the Mi nisters recommending a colony to impose a tax on a commodity which is to be consumed by the people of England. The provincial journals no tice that the recommendation places a fixed duty on corn, amounting, with the Canadian duty 35., and the duty on importation in England, exactly to the Whig duty of Bs. when the price is below 555., -,and only to 4s. when it is above 58s. If it be meant, as some of the Canadians have inter preted Lord STANLEY'S letter, that on the Cana dian Parliament levying a duty on American corn, Canada corn, including American corn and flour made from it, shall be im ported quite free of duty; then the fixed duty imposed by the Canadian Parliament on the American wheat, being the may duty, will be 35.; and the whole produce of Western Ame rica may be sent to this country at tlitit rate. As the law now stands it may be sent hither at a fixed duty of inot exceeding Bs., and that duty may be 45., if the price be above 58s. only. This is, however, nothing new. It was mentioned in the progress of the Corn Bill. Like the Carlisle Journal, which has some remarks on this sub ject, we do not object to lowering the duties, we object to the mode in which it is done : The " Farmers' Friends," are at work again (says that journal), in their vocation of deceivers ; and those who were gulled by their promises to " protect" agri culture, will now find to their astonishment that not only has the sliding scale failed to afford them one whit more " protection" against the corn grown on the continent of Europe, than was offered by Lord John Russell's proposed fixed duty—to say nothing of the injury it inflicts by the mode of its operation— but that a plan has been secretly arranged by these " farmer's friends," by which the corn of the United States is actually to be admitted at a fixed duty of three shillings per quarter ! To - those who, like our selves, believe that the more you can.extend the ope rations of trade, the better off will be the people— this intelligence will be hailed with no little pleasure. We should have preferred that it had been done openly, and that the trade in corn should have been direct with the United States, and not by .a sort of smuggling operation through the Canadas. This will, doubtless, be looked upon by the mono polists in this country as a " a serious blow and great discouragement ;" and certainly is a step of the utmost imFortance—because it must, eventually lead to free trade. It will, if we mistake not, soon be shown that an extensive business may be carried on in corn, even in this round-about way; and he will be Wilfully blind, indeed, who does not see that the extra cost of carriage into Canada is just so much money wasted—a waste such as it would be to compel the people of Brampton to bring their goods by way of Wigton for sale in Carlisle market. It is well known that the fertile regions of the Western States of America are as accessible from Quebec as from New York, and that it is nearly as convenient to import their produce from the St. Lawrence as from the Hudson. Mr. CURTIS, from Ohio, gave, in his discourse at a meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League, the following ac count of those regions : The portion of our country best adapted to the cul ture of wheat, and to which I wish to call your parti cular attention, is comprised in the six north-western States and territories, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi gan, Wisconsin, and lowa. They contain snore than 178,000,000 acres of land, chiefly arable. England contains 32,000,000 acres. That portion of their States which may be called good wheat-land, at three quarters per acre, would produce in a year 200,000,000 quarters. They are at present just commencing to pour the immense amount of bread and meat they are capable of producing into the markets of the world. Ohio alone, last year, had eight million bushels of wheat to export. Michigan, which never exported until 1837, has now a surplus of 250,000 bushels of wheat, and 300,000 barrels of pork. The population of these States is now 3,000,000. It has increased during the last ten years at the rate of two hundred and two per cent. It has been estimated by practical men that the amount of their exports would be doubled or trebled by a good demand in two years. Under the present laws and proposed regula tions there will be no impediment to thatdemand, wheat being carried to Canada, there ground into flour, and imported into England. " If," says the Carlisle Journal, " by the payment of a fixed duty of 3s. these vast resources of the Western States can be made available to this country, the present Corn-law is virtually at an end—and Sir ROBERT will have accomplished, by a trick, the overthrow of the most mischievous monopoly that was ever established in any country." Sir ROBERT is not only doing that by a trick, but he is doing it unconstitutionally, and in a way which will not be so advantageous to Eng land as directly abandoning all duty, or leaving only a 4s. fixed duty. We have already pointed out, on the authority of aiN ew York paper, the injury it will inflict on the trade of New York. It will make the New York merchants curse our regulations instead of cursing their own tariff. They will not be so ready to aid us in getting rid of it. But if the United States' tariff is not altered, and the import. of American wheat take place through Canada, a great and irresistible temptation to smuggling will arise. The United States bordering on Ca nada, and Cmada where it borders on the United States, will become inhabited by bold despera does ; government and law in both countries will be set at defiance, and Sir R. PEEL'S scheme will have the merit of spreading demoralisation over both. The Madrid mail of the 30th is quite destitute of news. The Ego del Aragon announces that an express had arrived at Saragossa from Ma drid, with the REGENT'S refusal to permit th(: Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULO, and family, to pass through the capital on his way to Seville. The INFANTE is ordered to take the Valencia route to Andalusia. The Eco (Madrid) of' the 30th continues to ad vocate the necessity for a reduction in the exist ing tariff. "The Catalonians," say the Eco, "confess that they cannot supply more than two thirds of the population. But a still more con vincing proof of this fact is to be found in the enormous quantity of foreign manufactures intro duced into Spain by the smugglers, who could not exist were the people sufficiently supplied by native manufacturers." Tl.e principal articles in the French papers re late to the disarmament of the French fleet; and the meeting of Deputies who are opposed to a commercial treaty with Belgium. The former, which is a very painful topic for the Opposition journals, gives rise to the following attacks on M. GUIZOT, in the Courrier Francais:— " The disarmament of the fleet—the disastrous measure which has been in agitation, and for which the Ministry have been silently at work for some months past, has beck at length consummated, and the decision froM 'the Minister of Marine has been forwarded to Toulon. " In order fully to comprehend the extent and bearing of this determination of the Government, we must carry our ideas back to the amendment pro posed by M. Lacross in the Chamber of Deputies, and adopted on the discussion of the budget of 1843. The Chamber then increased the budget of the marine to the extent of 3,000,000 francs, in order to increase our naval armament. A complete arma ment of twenty sail of the line and thirty frigates might exhaust our resources, and we can wsll coni prehend why. The circumstances which called for this force having passed away, the Government should think of reducing it. But the reduction now made is uncalled for, and a larger force might have been kept up, without being onerous to the State. " What can have been the motives of the Ministry in acting in this manner ? It knows very well that this disarmament, carried into effect in opposi tion to the vote passed by the Chamber, will be ex posed in the course of the next session of the Chain bers, and will 10(14) stormy discussions, which may To soncluile with DEEDS OF DREADFUL NOTE.

Horning 5 minutes after 6 I Evening 27 minutes after 6. ftt LONDON : WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 9, 1842. It seems by the " City Intelligence," that the value of ships has of late very much fallen off. Whitby and Newcastle built ships have fallen, it is said, 31. per ton within the last eight months, and ships built in our American pro vinces have been sold here at 41. to 61. per ton less than they cost. The shipping which eight months ago was supposed to be worth 28,600,0004, is now estimated at only 11,440,0001., and as much of it is mortgaged it is likely to pass, we are afraid, from the hands of the present owners. All the ports of the world, it is said, are crowded with ships seeking freights at greatly reduced rates, and few or none are to be had. The de pression, or rather the ruin which began in our manufacturing districts, has now reached our shipping as well as our agriculture, and all the great producing interests of the empire are suf fering under te restrictive and the meddling policy of the statesman who demanded and re ceived the enormous fee of Prime Minister to cure all our disorders. The shipping interest was distinguished for its opposition to the reduction of the timber duties, because it knew that whatever lowered the cost of ship-building would reduce the selling value of all the ships already built. What may be the effect of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S alteration of those duties, in conjunction with his various measures to - change the direction of commerce rather than to set ngtor ee d i aa t otgl f ury 'r bi e ctd e 4tel ac ee d ri va e l: nlarge it, we cannot calculate, but shippinginterest, a n d injuredtinteresthatt sis Ti t Tory e yT l I f! rlaieewsnandrisep,pl haveii shipping g e interest will allow us to say that it deserves no better, for it has long .been generally Tory, and the advocate of those restrictions on trade which are now injuring the shipping. The political and commercial opinions of the shipowners have helped much to lower the value of their own property. But a more efficacious cause of the fall of the value of shipping than either the timber duties, or the unsettling, without extending trade, is to be found in the competition of the shipowners themselves. Not only more ships have been built, but great care has been taken to improve their qualities. The introduction of steam navi gation, as we see in the competition of the Ameri can Liners, has tended to accelerate the voyages of sailing ships, while it has enabled steam ships to • perform some voyages in one-third of the tune which sailing ships- require. At present, for example, the bulk of the trade is carried on with Hamburgh by means of steam-vessels, which are about fifty hours in making the voyage out and home, while that used to require, on an average, seven days at least. The alteration, too, in the mode of registering vessels, has, no doubt, tended to improve the qualities of all ships built since the new law was enacted. Taking into consideration the increase of steam-vessels, and the various improvements which have been made in sailing ships, 'and in navigating them, we venture to state that two-thirds, or perhaps half, of our registered tonnage notv perlbrms as much work, or carries as many goods from port to port, as the whole would, were ships now Managed as they were twenty years ago.

Circum stances of a nature equally imperious and mysterious must have influenced them, and led them to brave such certain dangers ; the interest of diplomatic rela tions, has doubtless appeared to it more paramount than that of the Chambers. " We must do Admiral Duperre (the Minister of Marine) the justice to declare that we do not sup pose he has spontaneously decided on the disarma ment of the finest part of our squadron. This mea sure, no doubt, has been brought about by the ascend ant influence of M. Guizot. As to the motives which have influenced the Minister of Foreign Affairs, they' are apparently of the same order as those which in fluenced him when he signed the convention of July 13, 1841, and the treaty of the 20th December follow ing. It is a sacrifice to peace which has already cost France so much. When that Minister shall be asked to explain himself on the question he will mount the tribune and reply by his old maxim, La pair partout —a pair toujours,' which may be called peace at any price.' We extract from the Journal des Debats a report of the proceedings, and the result of a meeting- held at Paris on Saturday of the French monopolists : - - - - - The assembly first proceeded to elect M. Mimerel President, M. Barbet (Mayor of Rouen) Vice-Presi dent, and M. Randoing (President of the Chamber of Commerce-at Abbeville) Secretary. The Chairman forthwith explained the nature of the meeting, and called upon the representatives of the different manu facturers to deliver their opinions. After having lis tened with the most prc-found'attention to the several speakers during many hours, the meeting adopted the following resolution : " Considering that the entire body of French manu facturers form but one great family organized and developed under the same system of protection fur na tional labour ; that having for its general basis agri culture combined with the culture of the grape, they are dependent one upon the other ; that the ruin of one would cause the most fatal disasters to the rest, inasmuch as they all together represent not only the class of producers, but likewise that of consumers ; that the plan of a union of Customs, or a treaty of commerce with Belgium, founded upon an ill-under stood political interest, is of a nature to strike them to the heart ! " Considering that the danger is imminent, that the announced adjournment of the Government measure is not a remedy, but that on the contrary it would be a permanent evil, which the manufacturing interests could not support, and that consequently it is abso lutely necessary to present without delay a defence in common, and to act upon the public mind by demon strating and publishing facts. " The Assembly determines:— " Article 1. There shall be formed by the officers of the Assembly above elected Committees chosen from the different branches of manufactures. " "Those Committees shall be commissioned to search for and collect all the details and statistical re turns connected with manufactures, which, by dis closing their real position, will demonstrate the con sequence of the reduction of our Customs' duties. " Article 2. Those Committees, when united, will discuss and arrange the produce of their labours. They will present with the shortest possible delay a report calculated to enlighten the King's Government and the two Chambers.' " The officers elected by the Assembly were then instructed ;o draw up a collective letter to the Cabinet Ministers, which letter is to be laid before a general meeting, to be held on Monday next. MONOPOLY FLOURISHES IN THE MIDST OE NATIONAL DISTRESS.—Bank stock, say the re ports from the City, continues to rise. Since the beginning of the month it has got up from five to six per cent. The stock is sought for, and purchases are made, on the supposition, which no doubt has its foundation in nods and winks, and sly insituations of members of the Bank par lour, that the profits of the Corporation are in creasing. Very likely. Till the last return, the issues of the Bank of England were gradually en larging, and those of the Joint Stock Banks con- - tracting. The Monopoly Bank, therefore, which has the exclusive privilege of borrowing nearly 20,000,0001. from the public without paying any interest on it, and large portions of which it lends to the public on interest, is supplanting and stifling other banks. Its business must increase as theirs diminishes. At any rate its profits, compared to the general profits of trade, are rising, and thus this monstrous monopoly, the next usurpation of our common rights which is, we hope, to be abated after the Corn-laws are abolished, is thriving amidst the general distress. Who shall say that it does not thrive in consequence of the distress? Who shall say that it does not con tribute to cause the. distress that it may thrive? At least the Bank and all connected with it can have no sympathy with the terrible misfortunes suffered by tile people, which reach nut the tered corporation. THE SWEARING-IN OF THE NEW LORD MAYOR.— Yesterday Alderman iliunphory was swoin into the office of Lord Mayor, with the usual ceremonies, at the Guildhall. On Monday, the 7th inst., a general assembly of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of Arts, in Trafalgar-square, when Mr. Thomas Cres wick, Mr. John Hollins, and Mr. Francis Grant, were elected Associates of that Institution. SALE OF PRINCE ALBERT'S LIVE STOCK.—The annual sale of live stock from his Royal Highness's Norfolk (Windsor) Farm, by Mr. Tibbott, was well attended by gentlemen and dealers, and the lots realised very good prices—higher, according to the markets, than those of last year. This farm, as well as the Flemish—the property of the Prince—is under the management of Major-General Wemyss, Clerk Marshal to his Royal Highness, and both are in a thriving condition. THE' . COURTS OF APPEAL AGAINST THE INCOME TAX FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.—The appeals against the assessment for the Income and Property-tax on persons in the City of London are expected to be very numerous and protracted. The first Court for the above purpose will be held on Monday, the sth of December, at the office in Basinghall-street, com mencing with the ward of Aldersgate-without. Should any defaulter remain after the above appeals, the following notice will be issued for the recovery of the same :—" In pursuance of the directions of tl:e Acts of Parliament in this behalf made, I do hereby give you notice that you are returned in a schedule to the Commissioners of this district as a defaulter for non-payment, after demand made, of the undermentioned duties for the 'year 1842, ended the sth of April, 1843 ; and that the said Commissioners have directed me to give you further notice, that they require . me immediately to collect the said arrears, and, in cases where it may he necessary, to make use of my warrant for en forcing the same ; and that if the duties be not so recovered the schedule will be returned to the re ceiving -officer, and by him certified into her Majesty's Court of Exchequer, and process will issue against you for the recovery of the said duties, with all costs and expenses attending the same. Collector." _N. MANCHESTER ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—An other proof is about to be given of what depressed trade can effect, in the fact that these splendid gar dens are on the eve of being finally closed. The concern is as completely bankrupt as is that of the Bank at Manchester, so far as the loss of the sub scribed capital bears out the resemblance. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Queen's Prison, before W. Payne, Esq,. the Coroner for the jurisdiction of the City of London in South wark, on view of the body of Mrs. Anna Maria For ster, aged 55 years. Mrs. Eliza Rose stated that she had been intimately acquainted with the deceased, who, since the be,ginning of August last, had been re siding in the prison with her husband, who was a prisoner. She had been in an ill state of health ever since she came there ; in fact, her " whole mass of blood" seemed turned ever since her husband's arrest, and she daily grew weaker. About three o'clock on Sunday afternoon last, she requested to be assisted out of bed. Witness did so, and placed her on a stool, when she said, " Where shall I lay my head ?" and as witness was answering her she fell on the floor on her face, and nearly instantly expired. Mr. John Maze ley Forster stated that he was the husband of the de ceased. He was formerly in the navy, and after that for many years held a situation in one of the public offices, which he quitted on a retiring allowance granted to him in consequence of a reduction in the establishment. His wife was a lady of rank, being cousin to the present Earl Courtenay ; and the me lancholy bereavement he had sustained by her lament able death was the more distressing to his feelings as they had been brought up together from .mere childhood. On the 27th of July last, lie proceeded to the Audit-office, accompanied by the deceased, to re ceive his quarterly allowance, and was there, by the treachery of a party he had known for 23 years, arrested for debt. The deceased, on seeing the offi cers, sustained a shock from which she never re covered, and from that time she lost her spirits, and her strength left her daily. On Sunday afternoon, on coming up stairs, having been to order dinner, he found his wife a corpse. Surgical aid was procured, and on a vein being breathed the blood flowed freely, bnt yet she was past all human help. lie attributed her death to a broken heart. The medical attendant of the prison said her death certainly resulted from an affection of the heart. The Jury returned a verdict f Natural Death. • • UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.-At a Session of Council, on Saturday last, the Flaherty scholarship in classics was awarded to Mr. Bunnell Lewis, of London. At the same time the Fellows' Clinical Medals of the summer term, for the best observations on cases in the hospital, were presented—the gold medal to Mr. J. Alfred Tapson, of London ; the sil over medal to Mr. T. S. Lee, of Cambridge. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Ott Itc eptitton.
