CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. The composition with which the footway in Whitehall ,in face of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch's, and that at Rich. mond-terrace, which is now being laid down, being called Bitumen (another name for Asphalte), a general impression prevails that the above-named work is made of Seyssel As phalte. This, however, is not the case, the composition being different in very many respects from the Seyssel Asphalte. It is needless to point out more than one distinguishable quality, namely, that the Seyssel Asphalte emits no disagreeable smell ; whereas the composition now being used in Whitehall ds forth a mo s t nauseous and horrible effluvium. The fears of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, as well as of those pass ing through this great thoroughfare, that their vital action may be suspended by the effects of this composition, have induced the Seyssel Asphalte Company thus publicly to repudiate any connexion with it. Architects, Builders, and Others.—For the purpose of se curing the use of the genuine article, Architects and others are particularly requested to insert in their specifications " The Seyssel Asphalte, Claridge's Patent," and not merely " As phalte," or " Bitumen," as in many cases where these terms have been used, gas tar and other worthless and offensive c ompositions, have been introduced, J.

The Proprietor havir" , six very extensive establi s hme n ts, ad vantageous l y s i tuate d i n the principal manufacturing towns in the kingdom, and having capital at com mand, he is enabled to take every advantage of the fluctuations •f the markets, independently of which he is a manufacturer of a great part of his stock. His enormous consumption enables him to buy immense quantities of goods of very first-rate quality for cash, considerably below their real value; and as he pursues but one system in selling, charging a uniform per centage, the lowest ever offered to the public : the result is that those who honour him with their confidence and commands will receive the full benefit of his capital and experience. An immense quantity of goods always on hand, suitable for immediate use, mule in first rate style and fashion, and at really astonishing prices. The Proprietor particularly invites attention to his immense stock of waistcoats, the newest, and richest designs are always kept on hand, ready made, splendidly cut, and manufactured in the best possible manner : and he can say, without exception, that he is the largest maker in the kingdom, 1,000 Waistcoats being manufactured daily for his various Establishments.

O S 0 o 11 o O 15 0 COTTON TWIST. from Elegant Thibet Shawl pattern ditto Figured Satin in elegant style, from Plain and Figured Velvets in the richest OPINION OF A GERMAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON THE DEMAND FOR A HIGHER PROTECTING DUTY ON COTTON TWIST. When the question with which we are now occu pied first was started, about ten years since, our spin ning. factories were so unimportant, that according to official returns their production did not exceed 3,000,0001 b. to 4,000,0001 b. The quantity of cotton now spun within the states of the Zollverem, without Saxony, is about 7,500,0001 b. annually. The spinn in g mills have consequently doubled since then. At that time the complaint now made was also brought for ward by the spinners. Their demands occasioned an investigation and mature deliberation, the result of which was a decision that no increase of the duty on twist in favour of the spinner could be admitted. Amongst others the following question was then started :—" Can the spinning factories flourish, and will they increase, under the existing duties ?" The answer of the Commission was—" No. The spinning factories cannot flourish under the existing duties, and no addition to their numbers is practicable, as experience has shown." The duty was not then raised, and if this prophecy had been a true one, all the spinners must have been ruined in the eight years which have elapsed in the interval. But instead of this we find they have doubled in number, and we find that they actually increased in the very period in which (1835 to 1836) all prospect of greater protection was debarred —further, that this increase was made by old and ex perienced' members of the trade at a great outlay of capital, and that by many who had themselves signed the representation mentioned above. 'MI these con tradictions are reconciled, if we take into considera tion the crisis that took place in the cotton manu facture of Great Britain, owing to the difference that obtained between the price of raw cotton and of tha yarn spun from the same. In October, 1831, the price of d. A pound of mule yarn, seconds, No. 40, was • • 101.

Hyam's new principle of cutting, strongly recom mended to sporting gentlemen, from Black Cassimere, from CHILDREN'S DRESSES. refusing to deliver up the body of one William Foster to his executors for burial. It appeared that the defendant was keeper of the gaol of the Lord of the Manor of Wakefield, and that one William Foster had been committed to his cus tody fur debt, who died in the prison in September last, having appointed a Mr. Wm. Sutcliffe and a Mr. Appleyard his executors. The deceased had been at one time in very good circumstances, but had con trived to squander all he had, and at subsequent periods had been supplied by his friends, from time to time, with money to the amount of sevefal thousand pounds, till at length wearied out with fruitless endea voUrs to benefit him they left him to his own resources, and he speedily became an inmate of the defendant's prison. While there some of his friends sent him two guineas, the whole of which he squandered on the very day on which he received them, and from that tin.e they left him to himself. He then became in debted to the defendant and died in his debt. The exe cutors, hearing of his demise, went and demanded the body, on which the defendant demanded the amount due to him, which the executors declined to pay, and he alleging that as his reason, declined to deliver the body to them— He kept it. till October,--and then buried it in the prison yard. The body was washed and dressed decently, in the usual way, and except that the burial was in unconsecrated ground, and the funeral without the services of the Church, every thing was done with proper decorum. Application .vas made for a mandamus to compel the defendant to deliver up the body, and under this compulsory process it was exhumed and placed in a coffin pro vided by the executors, and afterwards properly in terred. The grave in which it was at first deposited was very shallow, and seemed to have been designed only as a temporary depository for the deceased. The facts of the case not being controverted, the Learned Judge gave it as his opinion that an indict able offence had been committed, but as no evil was intended, and the defendant thought he was acting- in a manner warranted by the law, it was more in the nature of a mistake than an intentional offence, and not to be visited with severe punishment. A verdict of Guilty was then submitted to, and the defendant was allowed to go at large on entering into his own recognisances in the sum of 101. to appear and receive judgment when called upon. Joseph Garner, George Garthwaite, Joseph New some, Joseph Tyas, Henry TunnycliffeFrancis Hague, and James Seeker, were indicted for a riot and assault at the parish of Kirkheaton on the 15th of June last. Sy G. Lewin and Mr. Wilkins conducted the pro secution, and Mr. Bliss and Mr. Pashley the defence. The prisoners are weavers of fancy cloth, and were .._ _ _ in the employment of Mr. Jacob Wood, proprietor of a large manufacturing esta'Aishment at Kirkheaton. A turn-out for higher wages had taken place some time before this occurrence, and considerable had been displayed by the turn-outs against the " black sheep,' as they were called, who continued at work. Among them were two parties, named Jessop and Holroyd, who lived in the neighbourhood of Mr. Wood's mill. According to the evidence for the pro secution a mob of about 200 persons, about nine o'clock in the evening of the 15th of June, cam© to wards the house of Jessop, carrying two effigies, in tended to represent Jessop and Holroyd. There was a great noise and tumult, accompanied with cries of "Down with the black sheep." On arriving opposite Jessop's house, they set the effigies on fire, and one of them, while burning, was thrown on the roof of his coal cellar. Some of the parties got on the roof of the house itself, which was easily accessible from the road. Jessop's wife was sent out to expostulate with them, but she was insulted, and pushed back into the doorway with such violence as to fall heavily on the floor. Jessop then went out to endeavour to get the burning effigy removed, but he also was thrust back with violence into the house, and the flaming mass thrown after him. It very nearly set fire to the work in his loom, and had the door opened the other way the result would probably have been serious. A number of stones were thrown, but no serious mischief was done by them, and the crowd, after keeping up the tumult a considerable time, dis persed. In February, 1842, a pound of seconAs, No• 40, cost ............. ................ A pound of Georgia cotton . , ......... Garner and Garthwaite were identified as the bearers of the effigies, and all the other parties were sworn to as having been actively engaged in thecrowd. For the defence a mass of evidence IN as adduced to show that none of these parties took any share in the disturbance. Some it was alleged were entirely away, and some it was admitted were near, but merely looked on. The Jury found all the prisoners Not Guilty of a riot, but Guilty of a common assault. Several objections were taken to the indictment in arrest of judgment, which were finally waived, and the prosecutor consented that all the prisoners, except Garner and Garthwaite, should be discharged on their own recognisances, and these two were sentenced to be imprisoned for one calendar month. The reA•ular business of the Assizes terminated in both Courts this evening, and it is expected that the trial of the rioters from the disturbed districts will commence to••morrow. Difference This shows the great fluctuations in favour of or against the spinner which take place. All the charges which have affected the German spinning factories within the last eightirears, from the com plaint of the impossibility of their continuance to the silent confession of their prosperous condition, in the establishment and enlargement of expensive establish ments, may be traced to this cause, which cannot he removed unless all influence on the part of British in dustry is totally excluded from Germany. But how is this practicable in the relation in which the spinning factories at present stand to the other fac tories within the Zollverein ? A slight augmentation of the import duty would not suffice to produce this ef fect ; for the differences which we have pointed out are too considerable to admit of it. On the other hand, an increase of the duty sufficient to destroy, the influence of British industry for a continuance would evidently injure most seriously the other branches of the manufac ture, which would inevitably be gradually destroyed, unless the sale of foreign twist and yarn when manu factured were facilitated by a drawback, and the inland consumption of the home-spun material were pro tected by a corresponding increase of the duty on cloths. Such a measure would, therefore, be far from adding to the national prosperity, and in our opinion nothing warrants the da nge rous experiment of risking what is already established, and which has been found in a long course of years to be condu cive to that prosperity, in order to achieve a gain of less importance, which moreover can have no ex istence if that which is thus established be destroyed. It appears, moreover, to be beyond all doubt that the other branches of the cotton manufacture are much more adapted to increase the national prosperity than spinning. According to the English export lists for 1841, Germany, Belgium, and Hol land imported in that year 63,868,3001 b. of twist.t If we assume that the Low Countries, Switzerland, and part of Austria took 10,000,00 01 b, from this quantity, there remained about 54,000,0001 b. for the States of the Zollverein. We estimate the present production of yarn within the Zollverein at 15,000,00016. some, indeed, rate it at 20,000,000 lb.; but this we consider too much. In the statement made by M. Putter, at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, on the 4th of September, 1841, the number of spindles within the Zollverein is estimated at 719,000. Assuming this estimate to be correct, if it be considered that a number of these belong to old machines, and that only those of a better description, and which are constantly worked, can produce 251 b. per spindle, our estimate will not be found to deviate much from the truth. Accord ing to this, the total consumption of twist within the Zollverein amounts, at present, to about 70,000,0001 b. Now, in order to see the relation that spinning bears to the other branches of the manufacture in the Zollverein, let us assume that these States spin their whole amount of consumption themselves, and we ob tain the following results :—The spinning of this quantity would employ 62,130 hands, whose wages would amount to $3,948,708 ; the other branches of the manufacture would require 311,532 hands, whose wages would amount to $33,218,556. The spinners, therefore, are in proportion to the other manufac turers as 1 to 5, while their wages stand in the pro portion of 1 to 8 2-5. The variation in the latter value arises from the circumstance that in the spinning factories mostly children are employed at very low wages, while the other branches of the manufacture mostly head s o f f am ili es; require grown-up people who require and ie2eive a 'higher remuneration. If we return to tke actual, condition of the trade, where 15,000,0001 b. of yarn are produced by 13,313 workmen, whose annual wages amount to 864,154 dollars, we find a proportion of but 4 to 39 1-3. These figures are more eloquent than all the observations which we might add upon the subject. * The raw • cotton consumed in the Zollvereiu • gulls" there were amongst the public. It was im portant to prove to the public that it was a bona .fide Society, and an investigation ought to be instituted by the Committee in reference to the circular report with the date January, 1841, and it was advisable to do so as soon as possible, and to make known the re sults at this Court on some future occasion. ----- The Rev. Gentleman said it would be done, and he left the Court. PO LICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Whitcomb, servant to Mr. Gore, the extensive dust and water contractor, was yesterday charged by Smith, one of the constables employed by the Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with ill treating a horse, which was so lame it could scarcely walk. Smith's statement was to the effect that he saw the defendant driving in a water cart a lame horse, which had its off fore foot tied up ; the whip being too long to touch the poor animal with the lash, the prisoner had taken the butt-end and beaten the poor beast most unmercifully. He was riding at the time. Mr. MALTBY—This is about the thirtieth complaint we have had against Mr. Gore's men for similar offences ; I wish I could get him or his foreman be fore me, for I do not like fining these poor men, who are merely servants. (To the defendant)—Will Mr. Gore pay the fine ? Defendant. —He will not; he sends us out with horses not fit to drive, and I must take the conse quence. I deny, however, beating the horse with the butt-end of the whip. Mr. MALTBY—That is distictly sworn to, and I fine you 10s., or in default of payment seven days' imprisonment, and I very much regret that the law does not allow me to punish your employer instead of you.

Yesterday the Reverend Richard Croxton, Chap-. lain of the East London Cemetery, Minister of Dar ling-place Chapel, near Mile-end Turnpike, and Se cretary to the Hospital Accident Society for affording relief to the families of inmates of the accident wards of the metropolitan hospitals, attended before Mr. COMBE under the following circumstances ; . The Rev. Gentleman intimated that he had come forward in consequence of a report in the newspapers relative to the case of the Rev. Mr. Boddington, late Chaplain to Giltspur-street Compter, and some obser vations made in reference to the above Society when the investigation took place in this Court on Tuesday last. He begged to say that the Rev. Mr. Bodding ton had ceased to be connected with the Society. Mr. COMBE said that he had in his possession a printed circular report of a dinner, held at the Lon don Coffeehouse in January, 1841, professing to give speeches that took place on that occasion, one of which purported to have been delivered by the Rev. Mr. Boddington. Mr. eroxton—The meeting was certainly held, and a circular report was printed at the request of Mr. Boddington himself, in order to show off his ability in oratory- on the occasion of the dinner, which took place in 1840 and not 1841. Mr. COOMBE said they ought to be very particular as to dates. The circular was dated 1841. Mr. Croxton said he was positive as to its being in 840. Mr. COMM presented the circular report to the Rev. Gentleman, who,, on looking at it, said that the Society had never authorised the paper to be printed. Mr. Croxton farther stated that when Mr. Bodding ton was connected with the Society he introduced to the Committee the Rev. Mr. Aldhouse. Mr. ComßE—What, he who was sentenced to trans portation yesterday at the Old Bailey for bigamy ? Mr. Croxton—Yes, the same.—(A laugh.) Mr. Croxton said that the year before last they re ceived 4021., and last year 4001. subscriptions in sup port of the Society. Mr. COMBE here said if their was a bona fide So ciety it deserved the support of the public, but if not so the amount of the subscriptions mentioned as hav ing been received was only a proof of how many THAMES-OFFICE. Yesterday Captain Philip Partridge, late master of the brig Jarrow, of Liverpool, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with the wilful murder of three Spanish seamen, between Princess Islaud and Teneriffe, in the year 1841. This was the third examination of the prisoner, who has been in custody nine months, and the proceedings excited very great interest. Mr. Hayward, clerk to Mr. Maule, the solicitor for the Treasury, conducted the prosecution on the part of her Majesty's Government, on whose demand the prisoner was given up by the Spanish authorities, to be dealt with under the English laws. Mr. Price, a solicitor, appeared on the behalf of the prisoner. Joseph J~ isher, able seaman, whose deposition was of great length, stated that he went out as boatswain of the Jarrow, from Liverpool, and came home as mate. After leaving Benin, on the coast of Africa, the ship became very leaky, and they put into Prin cess Island, where they shipped four Spaniards as able-bodied seamen, but who turned out to be other wise. They were all sick or weakly when they came on board, and three of them were repeatedly flogged and ill-used till they - died:" The first one who died was ordered on one occasion to go aloft and lend a hand to bend the maintop-gallant sail, but he could not do so, and the Captain flogged him with a rope. He died six weeks after the first time he was dogged. The man was repeatedly flogged. He could not say how often. Sometimes he was beaten with a piece of worm ing, and at other times with a thicker rope. The man could not do much work, and occasionally when he came upon deck, the people drove him down again. Ile believed the last flogging took place a fortnight before the first man died. One day witness picked the Spaniard up out of the lee scuppers, nearly drowned, and he appeared to have been sitting upon some spars, and by the rolling of the vessel to have fallen off. He died next day. That man was called Humbry, and he was not known by any other name on board. The second man who died was called Marianna, and he saw the captain beat him five or six times. He was also very weak and ill when he came on board, and not able to do much work. lie was flogged as often as the first man. About thirty-six hours before he died, the captain beat him with the log-slate. The man was at the wheel at the time, and did not steer well, and the captain beat him most severely over the head with the log-slate, the frame of which was broken to pieces by the blows, and his face and head were swollen to that degree that he could not see out of his eyes. After the captain drove him from the wheel'his head bled very much, and he was sent to the pumps, but he either could not or would not pump, and the captain ordered him into the rigging, as a irther punishment. This was between six and eight o'clock, and he remained in the rigging till ten, and was then sent below, where he remained till twelve, and then went to the wheel again for an hour and a-half, and by his incompetency put the ship a-lee. The captain struck him and ordered him into the rigging again, and he remained there, exposed to very bad weather, from • about half-past one till nearly seven o'clock, when he was taken down quite senseless, and his arms and legs were hanging through the ratlines. The Spaniard never spoke afterwards, and died the following night. The third Spaniard who died was called Rosanna, and he was flogged twelve or eighteen hours after he came on board because he did not pump hard enough. He was also in a very weak condition. He never saw Rosanna flogged but once, but he hadseen the Captain knock him down and kick him. Rosanna died at Te neriffe a week or ten days after the second man. He believed his death was produced by filth, hard work, an I hard usage. The Spaniards had not proper clothing, in fact, scarcely any at all, and no bedding. At Teneriffe the ship was p u t i n t o quarantine; and the doctor came alongside in a boat, and the sick man and the others were mustered at the gangway, but no thing was said about any one being ill or requiring medical advice. He reported Humbry's death to the Captain and informed him that he found him in the lee scuppers dying, and the Captain turned out imme diately and gave him medicine. The Captain was on deck when the man Rosanna was taken out of the rigging quite stiff, and lie thought he was not in a fit state to be sent into the rigging. After a number of other witnesses were examined, who to a considerable extent confirmed these state ments, Mr. Hayward submitted there was ample tes timony to warrant a committal for trial. Mr: BALLANTINI3 hoped it would be distinctly un derstood, that on the evidence of the five witnesses, whose evidence had been taken down and read over, he should commit the prisoner for the wilful murder of the three Spaniards. The prisoner was then remanded till Thursday next, and at his own request was allowed to remain in the outer office to consult with his solicitors and friends until five o'clock, when he was removed in the van to Clerkenwell Prison.

ONE OF TILE FORCE.—Our Leeds Correspondent . states that David Hill, one of the Leeds Police Force, has bolted to the States, after having made use of his anthority for every purpose except the prevention of crime. His last appearance in Leeds was in the cha racter of a fence, in which he obtained change for a stolen Bank of England note for 100/. ; the whole of the change, however, except about 111. he left at home, so that it would appear he bad been obliged to make a more sudden bolt than he had at first contemplated. lie was under recognizance to appear at York Assizes in a case of forgery, but so sudden became the emergency that he had not time to wait until the trial came on, and the pri soner will, we suppose, be entitled to " the benefit of the (policemen's) act." From a letter which the delinquent has written to his wife, it seems that he sailed from the Mersey, for Boston, on Friday last. York Courant. The late rains have done immense damage in the neighbourhood of St. James's Park ; one of the drains in the Green Park having blown up with a loud explo sion, and overflowing the road to the extent of three or four feet. The lower part of Buckingham Palace has been inundated ; and the residences of the King of Ha nover, Lord Adolphus Fitzelarenee, Duke of Sutherland, and the Duchess of Kent, have been seriously injured. At Clarence House, the water at one time rose to up wards of six feet, and the domestics had a narrow escape with their lives. L PARLIAMENTARY P ETITIONS. — During . the last session the number of petitions for a repeal of the Corn and Provision Laws, and in favoiir of free trade, amounted to 3,585, with 1,590,636 signatures ; while against the Government measure on the. Corn-laws, there were 185 petitions, with 104,533 tignatures. In favour of the abolition 'of the system of Church patronage in Scotland, there were eighteen petitions, with 17,689 signatures ; and for an increase of emolument to' .the. parish school masters of Scotland, were 22 petitions, with •111 sig natures, . . 2~i~c ie , -- ---- ' .... e. NUMBERS-Ntrf ) A TEST OF THE STRENGTH, OR PROSPERITY, OF A POPU LATION. (From Mr. Chadwick's Report on the S.".aniki ry con dition of th? Labouring Population of Englan . d.) The depress'ng effect of adverse sanitary circum stances, such as bad sewerage, drainage, and other local defects on the labouring strength of a population, and on its duration, is to be viewed with the greatest concern, as exhibited to a great extent at the present day in the streets and dwelling-houses of the British: people in our towns and counties. This depressing. effect rests on that which most distinguishes our island population, and which it were a truism to say consti tutes the chief strength of the nation—the bodily strength of the individuals of the labouring class. The greater portion of the wealth of the nation is derived from the labour obtained by the application of this strength. Simple enumerations of the numbers of a popular tion are of themselves but imperfect means for judg ing of its progression in strength. This is best shown in the increased proportions of the adults, who are of the age and strength and skill for • productive industry ; in the extended period during w hich each adult labourer occupies his post. M. Mallet (Registry Report on Geneva) bears tes timony that the experience of that city is confirma tory of the important rule, that the strength of a people does not depend on the absolute number of its population, but on the relative number of those who are of the age and strength for labour. .It is proved that the real and productive value of the population has there increased in a much greater proportion than the increase in the absolUte number of the population. The absolute number of the population has, only doubled, in the instance of Geneva, during three centuries ; but the value of the population has more than doubled upon the purely numerical increase of the population. In` other words, a popula tion of 27,000, in which the probability of life is forty years for each individual, is more than twice es strong for the purposes of production as a population of 27,000, in which the probability or value of life is-only 20 years for each individual. The important general fact of the proportion of adult physical strength to the increased duration of life, or improved sanitary condition of the individuals is verified by the examinatapns of the individuals of different classes. M. Villerme states that the dif ference of strength between classes among wham the value of life differs, is well known to the officers -en gaged in' recruiting the army, though no one has collected the facts to determine the precise differ ence. The time allowed to M. Villerme only en abled him to do so at Amiens. The result was, that the men of from twenty to twenty-one years of age were found the more frequently unfit for the trade of arms from their stature, consti tution, and health, as they belonged to the poorer classes of the manufacturing labourers. In order to obtain 100 men fit for military service, it was neces sary to have as many as 343 men of the poorer classes; whilst 193 conscripts sufficed of the classes in better circumstances. - Analogous facts were ob served in the greater part of the towns in France in which he conducted his official investigations. In the evidence of recruiting officers, collected under the 'Factory Commission of Inquiry, it was shown that fewer recruits of the proper strength and stature for military service are obtainable now than heretofore from Manchester. Of those labourers now employed in the most important manufactories, whether natives or emigrants to that town, the sons who are employed at the same work are generally inferior in stature to their parents. Sir James M‘Gregor, : the Director-General of the Army Me dical Board, states the fact that " A corps levied from the agricultural districts in Wales,. or the Northern Counties of England, will last longer than one re cruited from the manufacturing towns, -from Birrning- • hitt), Manchester, or near the metropolis." Indeed so great and permanent is the deterioration, that out of 613 men enlisted, almost all of whom came from Bir mingham and five other neighbouring towns, only 238 were approved for service. The chances of life of the labouring classes of Spitalfields are amongst the lowest to be met with, and there it is observed of weavers, though not originally a large race, that they have be come still more diminutive under the noxious influences to which they are subject. Dr. Mitchell, in his Report on the condition of the hand loom weavers, adduces evidence on this point. One witness well acquainted with the class states, "They are.decayed in their bodies ; the whole race of them is rapidly descending to the size of Lilliputians. You could notraise a grenadier company amongst them all. The old men have better complexions than the young? Another witness, who says there were once men as well made in the weaver trade as any other, " recol lects the Bethnal-green and Spitalfields regiment of volunteers during the war as good-looking bodies of • men, but doubts if such could be raised now." Mr. Duce concurs in the fact of the deterioration of their size and appearance, withirithe last thirty years, and attributes it to bad air, bad lodging, bad food, which causes the children to grow . up an enfeebled and dimi nutive race of men." To whatever extent emigration takes place from England,. there must of course have been a pro portionate immigration from other placesto make up the increase of population beyond the apparent in crease from births. It is observed in some of the worst-conditioned of the town districts that the posi tive numbers of the natives of the aboriginal stock continually diminishes, and that the vacancy as well as the increase is made up by immigration from the healthier districts. In a late enumeration of the settled inhabitants of the labouring classes in the lower parts of Westminster, it appeared that rv:t more than one-third of them were natives of London. If inquiry had been made as to whether their parents were natives, it would probably have been found that still fewer had inhabited the district for more than one generation. • D WARKANATH TAG° RE. The Council Chamber of Edinburgh, August 30, witnessed an event unprecedented in the annals of 1 Great Britain—the presentation of the freedom of the City to a Hindoo gentleman. This mark of distinc tion has been unanimously conferred by the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council of r our own City. Dwarkanath Tagore is a Brahmin, a mer chant engaged extensively in home and fo reign trade, a large landed proprietor, and a man of very considerable fortune. He is well acquainted with Hindoo, Persian, and English litera ture and history, and is, without doubt, the most re markable man in India of his nation. While loyally attached to the British Government in India, he is at the same time devoted to the work of ameliorating the condition of his countrymen, and has for many years sought, both by the liberal application of his money and his energetic labours, to accomplish plans of local and general improvement. Several of the most excellent institutions in Calcutta owe their exist ence principally, or altogether, to the benevolence and liberality of that enlightened llindoo. As the friend of education, Dwarkanath Tagore stands pre eminent among his nation. His views of the princi ples of trade and commerce are of The most enlarged and liberal character ; and his wealth and influence combined, have done much to aid the recent noble pro'ects for facilitating the intercourse between India and this country. For several years Dwarkanath Taore has been one of the most active members of a society for the protection of the owners and occu piers of the soil in India from the mischievous and ruinous effects of what is known by the nam e o f the Resumption Regulation ; a measure neither more nor less, than an inquisition into the titles by which all rent-free lands are held with a view of assessing such lands as, by the custom and law of India, have been immemorially held ten u r e -free, and absolutely untaxed beyond th e memory of any living man ; a measure, in a word, to impose a tax of 18s. in the pound of the rack-rent, or to seize upon and confiscate nine -tenths of every man's estate, hitherto held rent-free, over the whole length and breadth of Bengal, Behr, Orissa, and Benares ; a ter ritory which contains a surface equal to that of Great Britain twice told, with a population exceedi n g that of the kingdom of France. We understand that it is the intention of Dwarkanath Tagore to bring this momentous subject under the notice of the Govern ment and people of this country, and to endeavour, in reference to this and other topics, to advance the in terests of his countrymen during his stay in Great Britain. DIED.—On the 15th instant, at her residence, Baltnagown, near Portadown, Mrs. Mary Corr, at the extraordinary age of 116 years. This venerable matron exhibited one of tho most remarkable instances of longevity on record, in modern Ones. She was born in 1726. and, consequently, lived, during the reigns of six Sovereigns of Great Britain. She was a woman of great mental and physical faculties, and gifted with a strong understanding and most retentive memory ; and of that. portion of our history (commencing with I.lle reign of George .11.), so productive of great and memorable events, she had a most vivid recollection, and d?lighted to converse on " the deeds of other years." She was, indeed, a living chronic!c of the last century, and de tailed, with surprising accuracy, the many memorable occurrences of that eventful era. The storming of Quebec, and the death of General Wolfe, the capture of the Havannah, the naval victories of Admiral Rodney,. and the taking of the city of Carrickfergus, by the French commander, Thurot, were events which she related with much animatio❑ ; and she related, with much amusing effect, the national consternation on the successes of the celebrated Paul Jones. She attended the weekly market of Portadown regularly, till within three years of her death ; and her sight was so good that she could thread a fine cambric needle. She w justly admired for her mild, unobtrusive planners and the vast concourse who followed her mortal remains to the family burying .ground, in Druracree Church-yard testified die estimation in which.she was held by all who had the *Pintoes of knowing her.— Vindicaor. l/ Wor ester. 8 15 R) 8 1 4 2 47 5 22 9 1 [0 40
