James Smith, a bricklayer by trade, was indicted for as saulting John Kinsey, an officer belonginr , to the Town-ball. It appeared that in consequence of the disputes that have occurred between the operatives and their employers for scmc time past, the officers have received particular instruc tions from the magistrates to prevent any breach of the peace that might arise from a collision between those who . dc, and those who do not belong to the Unions. The pri soner was stated to belong n one of the Unions, and, on the evening of the 30th July went into the house of Mr. Law rence, landlord of the King's Head, Tooley-street, where Kinsey the officer happened also to be. The prisoner was eating some sheeps' feet, commonly called " trotters," the bones of which he threw on the sideboard, to the great dan ger of sundry glasses which which were placed there. He was desired by. Mr. Lawrence to desist, upon which he threw some bones at mine host, exclaiming, " your eyes, take that ;" and thereupon the landlord requested Kinsey to put the prisoner out of the house. Kinsey, in his usual mild and persuasive manner, contrived to get him quietly out, but when outside the prisoner became outra geous, and called out both to the landlord and the waiter, threatening them with his vengeance. Kinsey, at Mr. Law rence's request, then went out; and while persuading the prisoner to go home quietly, the prisoner " floored" him by a tremendous blow on the jaw, which knocked out two of his teeth. Poor Kinsey was picked up, bleeding at the mouth, and the prisoner was stopped by Berriman, a police man, while attempting to make his escape. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. THE OMNIBUS NUISANCE. Wednesday, between twelve and one, another of those disgraceful instances of the wilful misconduct of the drivers of omnibuses, occurred in Fleet-street, and occasioned for upwards of half an hour a most inconvenient and dangerous obstruction. The Dolphin, which runs from Piccadilly to Mile-end, was proceeding towards St. Paul's, at the usual reckless rate, when it was met by the Sanspariel, coming from Blackwall. The drivers were evidently intent on passing each other at this particular time, although it was quite manifest that there was not sufficient room between th 3 line of carriages on either side to allow them to do so. Several gentlemen called to them to desist, but they refused, using the most blackguard and offensive language, and, heedless of the very serious, if not fatal consequences which might ensue, they drove on, and the two unwieldy vehicles came in collision with great force, and became so entangled that it was a long time before they could be separa ted. The pole of the Dolphin got locked in the hind wheel of the Sanspariel, while the pole of the latter was snapped off by the violence of the shock, and the off-side horse kicked and plunged so violently that it got its hind leg over the iron step or holder of the splinter-bar, and was held in a situation of great torture for several minutes, making violent efforts to disengage itself, but which, indeed, only increased its.sufferings ; the horse was, after much difficulty, extri cated, and appeared to be dreadfully injured ; a considerable portion of flesh had been torn out of one of the haunches, and the blood was profusely streaming from the wound. The poor animal, however, notwithstanding the state it was in, was directly afterwards put to again, and driven off, al though the damaged state of the harness rendered the task of drawing the omnibus much more difficult. The greatest confusion prevailed during the occurrence, and it is most providential that no serious accident happened. The pas sengers in the omnibuses were greatly alarmed, and some of them insisted, and actually did get out, at the imminent risk of their lives. The stoppage which was caused in the street offered an excellent opportunity for the light-fingered gentry to ply their vocation. ABOLITION OF PRISON INDULGENCES.—Before the Criminal Court Act comes into operation a material altera tion will be made in the criminal prisons of London. It has been customary for persons who have been convicted and sen tenced to short terms of imprisonment in the gaol of Newgate to be allowed such refection as they could purchase, or their friends could provide for them. In future wine, joints of meat, and other expensive viands will not be admitted ; but the re striction will not extend to tea, coffee, and other reasonable in dulgences; nor will it interfere with such prisoners who have not gone under the ordeal of a trial. - On Wednesday, about six o'clock, as one of Wheat ley's stage-coaches was on its way from Gracechurch-street to Greenwich in crossing London-bridge one of the wheels came off and the vehicle fell down on its side with a tremendous crash. The coachman and a gentleman, an outside passenger, were thrown upon the pavement with great violence. The former escaped with a few slight contusions ; but the latter was picked up in a state of insensibility by the bystanders, who conveyed him to Guy's Hospital, where he lies without hope of recovery. There were three inside passengers, who also suffered from the concussion ; but not severely, and got out through the window. - - Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, another dreadful accident occurred on the London and Bir mingham Railroad, Camden-town, to one of the excavators, of the name cf James Sherwood, in the employ of Mr. Sheddon, a gentleman connected with the railroad, residing at Chalk Farm. It appears that the unfortunate man was doing some thing to one of his horses, when he was so violently kicked about the head and body that no possible hopes are entertained of his recovery. Since the commencement of the railway at Camden-town, there have been no less than four frightful acci dents to individuals, who are now lying at Middlesex Hospital. COACH ACCIDENT.—An accident occurred to the Wolverhampton and Worcester coach on Sunday evening last. As the coach was ascending the hill at Coulburn Brook, near Stourbridge, the coachman discovered a cart coming down the hill on the wrong side at a great rate, which compelled the coachman to pull his horses to the other side of the road, in doing which the wheels of the coach ran over a heap of stones which had been carelessly left there, which caused it to be overturned, whereby we regret to state that a Mr. Guest, of Shaver's-end. near Dudley, was so much injured as to cause his death on Monday evening. Three or four other passengers were slightly injured.- - Wolverhampton Chronicle. / 6 X/‘—•‹e;' -- "'"' l /i f )1 •7 . a ~~~~•~ ~" , ~ r., ri ~, t-:...3„, r, , 7 , c. 47 , ,_ .. *- ,-tt., - ----V?' - ';--' 4-7- 9 -',N, ~---d :'-'l---- - %- ,, ; ,:'--c ,::).. 4 ,,, T3 . . 1 , ,-..,i - ; - ..,- .v.• - 2 --::::-t \ , ,, , C. - % - " 1 ..‘ • ; 4, ~,_ •:.L.Nt :4; - * ' 4 ) 2 1. -- 7 - ::. , 71 '•\ ( , :i i — I/ ' .

COMMISSIONERS OF EXCISE INQUIRY. In our article upon the Excise, on Wednesday, We proved to our readers that the report of the Conimis sioners of Excise Inquiry was very unsatisfactory as regarded the summary jurisdiction entrusted to the Commissioners of Excise. We pointed out how ex clusively the evidence upon which the report was founded had been derived from interested persons, and how little weight ought to attach to the - opinions of those who have so long supported so unconstitutional a system as that on which this Court is based, as well as the whole of the machinery of the Excise. We can not at all understand how so acute a person as Sir Henry Parnell should have agreed to a report without examining a witness who might be supposed to be ad vwse or dissatisfied with the present system, and had we not his reports on the other branches of the in quiry, we should have concluded that this Commission, like its predecessors in former times, was intended to support rather than to correct abuses. The other reports, however,..so completely prove that the Commissioners are anxious to fulfil the duty entrusted to them, that we can only hope that the evi- dance of some manufacturer or dealer Will induce them ;o obtain more- accurate information upon the subject, and to revise their third report. Were we inclined to canvass very strictly the fitness of the Commissioners of Excise to superintend the im portant interests of the manufacturers of the country, we. could not do better than refer to the Act 'Nib they obtained last Session, and which we believe, had it not been for our exertions, would have contained clauses more vexatious, more inquisitorial, and more uncon stitutional, than any which are already in. the pon derous folios now receiving the Excise laws. It appears to be their principle, and particularly that of their Solicitor, who, from his perfect ignorance of any thing connected with commerce and manufactures, is most unfit to frame Acts, either to prevent or check smuggling—we say; it appears to be their leading principle that honesty is to be secured by a multitude of restrictions and threatened penalties—th e y think it necessary to enact penalties; and to set officers to watch, for every little deviation by the trader from their rules for manufacturing even from " skimming the waste water" in the manufacture of starch to the extinguishing of the expiring embers of the fire under a soap copper—they think it necessary to consider every tradesman as dishonest, and as unfit to be con sulted in the construction of Acts of Parliament to se- cure the revenue—they are so ignorant as to fear, un dcr any circumstances, to receive a deputation of a trade which has grievances to complain of. They well know the absurdity of the majority of their penalties and restric tions, and retain them only because it is too much trouble to obtain information from those who could afford it, and principally because were the Excise laws simpli fied and rendered efficient, the labour would be so re- duced that their establishment would not require half the present number of officers. The Commissioners DOW boast of the number of causes they hear, and the great numbers of hours they are employed ; but were all tile appeals to the Court which arise from the vexatious application by litigious officers of old and almost obsolete laws, to be separated from the other duty, their labours would appear light indeed. But if, instead of adding penalty to penalty, and re- striction to restriction, they were to direct the at tention of their officers solely to the ascertaining the real quantity of every commodity produced, and to the collection of the duty thereon, let the process of manufacture be what it may ; and if, instead of a mul tittide penalties which are never enforced, there was one for evading the duty in any way, or under any pretence, and this was enforced, as well against the rich trader, as it is now against the poor one.— `v (iGY~ them without in- quiry. Next we find twenty dealers, and three retired Excise officers, declaring that the system is useless, that when there is a deficiency, it is xvritten off with out inquiry, and that no check is afforded against the admission of smuggled tea into their stocks. Thirdly we find the examinations of the Chairman of the Customs—Surveyor of the Customs—Comp troller of the Coast Guard, and other experienced per sons, as to the quantity of tea smuggled admitted into this country. Thcy all agree it is small, and it all- pears that the average annual quantity seized by the Customs is only about 7,0001b5., which is insignificant when compared to the consumption-32,000,000 lbs. Fourthly, we find that the dealers are unanimous in their expression of the inconvenience and loss they suffer by this system, and prove its uselessness by the fact that the cases brought before the Excise amount annually to between 50 and GO, and these paltry in their amount, out of 100,000 traders. • The -Commissioners of Excise, anxious, however,. to support their restrictive system by any means, as sume that the survey prevents adulteration. On this point we find also either the perfection of the system or its absurdity, as there have been only three seizures for, adulteration in the last three years. With this mass of evidence the Commissioners of inquiry strongly recommend the immediate abolition of the survey and permit system, and support then re commendation by referring to the good effects pro duced to the trade by their abolition as regards coffee, cocoa, and p: pper, The Commissioners of Excise hoping, even at the last moment, to blunt the edge of Sir H. I'arnell's pruning knife, state, that supposing this system abolished, little pecuniary saving would arise ; to which the Commis sioners of Inquiry reply, " that it is difficult to conjec tre how 100,000 persons can be surveyed 2,137,424 times ; how 850,000 permits can be printed and dis tributed ; how 300,000 books can be prepared for no thing ; and continue, that if its discontinuance upon tea will cause little or no saving, they cannot but con template a considerable reduction of expenditure, when frig Vonleis in tobaccmnViii - eand spierv, -- soap and pa: pers, are likewise freed from it." That they may be speedily relieved we hope and trust. It is most extra ordinary that laws, which ostensibly are to - secure the revenue and to piotect the honest trader, should be nearly unanimously considered not only useless as a check, but vexatious and arbitrary. We confess that we anticipate as the result of this inquiry that in a few years this Board of Commissioners will be abolished. Let the duties be taken off soap, paper, and vinegar, and nothing will remain that cannot easily be done by a department in the Customs; and then the country will save the expense of this Board, and manufacturers will be relieved from the greatest check upon their in dustry, and upon the improvement of their processes. It is almost impossible to believe that, a system should be allowed to exist which enables an inferior officer to carry the results of the experiments and in dustry of one manufacturer to his rival, as also that a manufacturer should be obliged to submit drawings and models of his improvements, before he can use them, for the approbation of Commissioners perfectly ignorant of his business.—Morning Advertiser. THE MONEYED ARISTOCRACY OF FRANCE. A new nobility grew up in rivalry to the elder one ; and as the positions of society became more compli cated and uncertain, a supreme civility to some was seen side by side with a sneering insolence to others— a revolution in manners, which embittered as it has tened.the revolution of opinions. Thus, the manners of the French in the time of Louis the Sixteenth had one feature of similarity with ours at present. A moneyed aristocracy was then rising into power in France, as a moneyed aristocracy is now rising into power in England. This is the aristocracy which de mands obsequious servility—which is jealous and fear ful of - being treated with disrespect ; this is the aristo cracy which is haughty, insolent, and susceptible— which .dreams of affronts and gives them ; this is the aristocracy which measures with an uncertain eye the height of an acquaintance ; this is the aristocracy which cuts and sneers ; this aristocracy, though the aristocracy of the Revolution of July, is now too powerless in France to be more than vulgar in its pre . - t iisions. French manners, then, if they arc not gra . cius, are at all events not insolent ; while ours, un if, in the construction of Acts of Parliament for the better collection of the revenue ; a Committee of the trade was consulted by the Commissieners themselves, instead of leaving it to the direction of their solicitor— if, as in every other public board, the commissioners wera practically acquainted with their duty, then we might hope to see excise duties collected without the interference of an unconstitutional and tyrannical court of summary jurisdiction, and also without a system of the most absurd and complicated machinery that ever was devised. happily, testify on one hand the insolence, while they do not on the other represent the talent and the grace of that society which presided over the later suppers of the old regime. We have no Monsieur de Fitz-Jamcs,who in i (=lit be rolled in a gutter all his life, as was said of a beau tiA7l woman of his time, " without ever contracting a spot of dirt !" We have no Monsieur de Narbonne, who stops in the fiercest of a duel to pick up the ruf fled rose that had slipped in a careless moment from his lips during the graceful conflict. You see no longer in France that noble air, that "great manner," as was called, by which the old nobility strove to keep up the distinction between themselves and their v,-,orseborne associates to the last, and which of course those associates most assiduously _imitated. That Let us, hOwever, turn to the (first) report on tea permits and surveys. To direct and manage these permits and surveys there are ten acts of parliament loaded with penalties and restrictions. The number of dealers surveyed is 101,687, and the annual number of surveys 2,137,424. The number of permits annually printed is 850,000, besides 300,000 excise-books for the trader. Now this cumbrous machinery was the means of detecting, in the years 1830, 1831, and 1832, 3,3541b5. of smuggled tea—the penalties of which amounted to 4731.,' and the tea condemned in consequence of the prosecutions was 2,5621b5., so that we find against the expense of 2,137,424 surveys, 850,000 permits, and 300,000 excise -books, we have penalties an nually to the amount of 1571. and 8541b5. of tea ! This proves one of two things, either that the system is so perfect that smuggling is impossible, or so im perfect that it affords no check. We will refer to the evidence, and leave our readers to decide. The wit nesses examined are five Commissioners of Excise, their solicitor, three officers, three retired officers, three officers belonging to the customs, and 26 gentle men connected with the trade. _ _ . . manner is gone : the French, so fai: from being a polite people at the present day, want that easiness of beha viour, which is the first essential to politeness. Every man you meet is occupied with maintaining his dig nity, and talks to you of his position. There is an evident effort and struggle, I will not say to appear better than you are, but to appear all that you are, and to allow no person to think that you consider him better than you. Persons, no longer ranked by classes, talle each by themselves an individual place in society : thq are so many atoms, not forming a congruous or harmonious whole. They are too apt to strut forward singly, and to say, with a great deal of action and a gre'at deal of emphasis, " I am—nobody."—H. L. Bid zver's France. BURNING OF THE MANUFACTORY OF ARMS AT TOULA, IN RUSSIA. The Emperor of Russia has just set out to inspect several of the southern provinces of his vast empire. It is said that the object of his journey is to see with his own eyes the terrible devastation caused by the fires in the manufactories of Toula. Whoever knows the importance that this event may exercise upon Russia will not be surprised at the haste with which the .Emperor hastened to the spot. In fact, in the city of Toula exist the only manufactories of fire-arms, besides three fonndaries of artillery, and six hundred forges, which furnish cutlery and hardware to all parts of Russia. The arms manufactured here are as good in appearance as those of England or France, but cannot pretend to their solidity. The environs of the city are full of villages belonging •to the crown, the inhabitants of which are entirely free from taxes, though living in a very fertile plain, well watered, and covered with immense fields of corn. These wretched serfs, impelled by despair, and unable to procure the Means of existence for their families, have themselves set fire to the manufactories which have caused their ruin. For centuries these expert but unfortunate workmen continued to toil, from father to son, for a wretched pittance, which barely sufficed to sustain their miserable existence, and without the hope of one day reaping the fruits of their labour. According to the mode in which they were made to work, no single piece was executed by them. One village was obliged to supply so many thousand barrels, another as many thousand screws, a third as many thousand blades, &c., which were finally deposited in the magazines of Toula. As this was the only manufactory in all Russia, and as the constant wars in which Russia was engaged required an enormous quantity, each new campaign of the Autocrat added to the misfortunes of the workmen. It may, therefore, be easily conc eived that they wished by one effort to put an end to their insupportable situation. They hope d that the ma nufactory being destroyed, the Emperor would cause new ones to be immediately constructed in the capital, and that if even a part of their number were taken to the capital, their situation could not but be improved, but their hopes have been deceived. The Emperor has taken with him distinguished architects, ordered to re build new manufactories, and his departure has been hastened because he was desirous himself to choose a more isolated spot than before, and urge on the work. It is impossible to say how much this affair has em barrassed the Government. There were fortunately e nough arms in the arsenal of St. Petersburg for pre sent occasion. Si; F. Doyle says, that abolishing this system would expose a revenue of immense importance to the great est possible hazard, and that without this system there is no check against the introduction of smuggled tea into every part of the country. Five Commissioners agree precisely with their Chairman ; but their Solicitor tries to be witty, and says, " I think it is (that is, the present system) calculated to check smuggling to a great degree. We must always bear in mind, in Excise regulations, never to expect to have any re u, lation that will be an actual prohibition to fraud. You might as well try to have an inimitable bank-note." So much for the Commissioners and their Solicitor; but let us see what they say in another place " Sir F. Doyle.—Question. In point of fact, there is no accurate check of decreases of stock ?—A. There cannot be, because it depends almost entirely on the account of the trader himself. " Sir John Malcolm.—Q. Though the law requires the trader to enter daily the amount of his small sales, it is hardly possible to control that operation So as to secure its performance ?—A. Without a much closer system, I should think not ; it is not so valuable as we could wish, nor can we much rely upon it. " Q. Then there is no actual controul over a de crease of stock ?—A. None over the daily decrease. " Mr. Plunkett.—Q. Do you consider that the survey and perfect system is so efficient as to prevent a tea-dealer from getting smuggled tea into consump tion ?—A. No, I do not. I have no doubt dealers may get a considerable quantity of smuggled tea into consumption. " Mr. HET II ER IN G TON, Surveyor-General.—Q. Does the regulation which requires entries to be made of the sales by the dealers afford an effectual check upon the decrease of their stock ?—A. No, I think not. It is a business which is not very strictly kept up, for we have hundreds, if not thousands, of tea-dealers who cannot write at all." At one moment we find these able Commissioners representing the present system as absolutely neces sary, and at another they all declare it is no check at all I What can this mean ?

ZrZ.MINOIUMM7ffie LOS MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCTOBER 16. THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL LICENSES. A Special General Session was held yesterday afternoon at the Middlese.x County Hall, Clerkenwell-green, the at tendance of m agistrates.at which was exceedingly numerous, for the purpose of determining on applications, of Which the required notice had beim given, for the renewal or original granting of music licens - .•.s under the 23th George 11. e. 30. The list contained. -thirty-five applications for renewals, and twenty-one for or ik:eal licenses. The old licenses were disposed of first. The Mermaid, Ha ekney, had its license renewed on the application of Mr. Ai iol.ruus, who appeared on behalf of its proprietors, Mess.rs. Hubbard and Bird. No objection whatever was made. The King's Head, ynfield. The proprietor, Mr. Mark ham, not being in attendance, and not having instructed counsel, the license could not be granted ; but it was stated that if he applied' this day (Friday) the objection might be remedied. • Sadler's Wello Thea tre.-L-The license of Messrs. Hughes, Jones, Grimaldi,. and :Dixon, was renewed for this popular place of theatrical. amt , sement. The Adelphi 'Meat re license was renewed to Messrs. Matthews and Yates : , on the application of Mr. ADOLPHUS. The Angel, at Eehronton.—Mr. Whittington had his li cene renewed, on thee application of Mr. Payne. The Cherry Tree, at Southgate.—Mr. PAYNE applied to have the license 11 mewed for Mr. Eaton, to whom the premises had recently• been transferred. Mr..Powis said he- had no objection to urge against Mr. Eaton, who, he believ e(1, to be a very respectable man, and his house well condu&xyd, but -he thought-the lieenseins not required in so small, and retired a village. Mr. M'WILLIAM etatncurred. Mr. PAYNE urged, tli at a license which had been granted for years ought not to. ::be taken away in the absence of all objection by the neighbitlurhood. Mr. Sergeant ANDRE WS—ls there any petition in favour of its renewal ? Mr. PAYNE said no ; ,nor was it usual in the case of an old house, against which', no objection had been known to exist. On a show of hands the license was lost by 8 to 2. Mr. H. HUGHES, LP., asked if the party had any ap peal ?—(Cries of " No.; no.") Then (said the worthy ma gistrate), all I can say, is, that gentlemen ought to consider and. to pause well before they held up a hand to deprive a party of his license, against whom no person preferred a complaint. - The King's Ancient Concert Rooms, St. Pancras.—The license was renewed to Mr. Perry, after a caution that it would be well in future to give it its present as well as its old designation, na.nely; the Fitzroy Theatre, Tottenham Court-road. The Royal Standard Hotel, St. George, Hanover-square. The license was renewed to Mr. Moy. The Royal Pavilion, Whitechapel-road. Mr. Farrell had his license renewed ;. but Mr. HALswELL and another Magistrate, said they shovld.oppose any additional license in that neighbourhood. The Abercorn Arms, Stanmore. The Chairman bore testimony to the good character of the house, and the re spectability of Mr. Seabrook, the proprietor, whose license was of course renewed. The New Southampton Arms, St. Pancras. License renewed to Mr. Edward Carter, in whose favour Colonel BIRD warmly spoke. The Bell Tavern, Kilburn. Renewed to Mr. Morley without objection. The King's Arms, Mile-end, Old Town. Mr. STOCK objected that masquerades had been performed at this house. The landlord, Mr. Hemmingway, was called forward, and negatived this charge. He admitted that a masquerade was announced to take place, but learning in time that it would give offence, he refused to allow it. Under these cir cumstances, the license was renewed, after a caution that any improper use of it would endanger its permanence. The Bayswater Tavern,. Paddington, occupied by Mr. Wale. Mr. 111‘11rxtuArtz rose, and asked, as he had clone in most o`:•' the preceding cases, if any Magistrate had any objection to offer ? Mr. HUGHES HUGHES, M.P., objected to this needless oliciousness. If any gentleman had an objection to make, he could do it without the constant prompting of the . worthy Magistrate. ' Mr. M‘Vii . tr.:r.t A he 'should pursue hiS own course, without asking the consent of the Magistrate who had just spoken. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES, M.P., said he only spoke be cause it appeared to him as if one Magistrate wished to put himself forward as public prosecutor—(cries of " hear !") The license was granted. The White Horse Inn, Uxbridge. Mr. Trehern. G ranted. The Kent and Essex Tavern, Whitechapel. Mrs. Tutin. —Granted. Salmon and Ball, Bethnal-green, Mr. Morton. Granted. P,elgrave Hotel, Pimlico. Mr. Gold , :r-Granted. White Hart Tavern, Chelsea. Mr. Hanaock.—Granted. The Golden Eagle, Mile End-road. as fir. Heavens,' Granted: The Earl of Effingham, Whitechapel-road, Mr. Sims. Mr. STOCKS objected to the re newal of the licence, on the ground that theatrical pe rformances had been allowed in the house. Mr. PAYNE, who appeared for Mr. Sims, said that his client was left in total ignorance of the intention of the worthy Magistrate to oppose him, and had therefore come unprepared. He thought it was but fair, when an opposi tion was intended to be made, to give the party notice, otherwise the effect would be that the Court must decide after hearing only one side. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS said he sho uld decid e on the evidence of his brother Magistrate. . - The license was withheld. The York and Albany Tavern. Park-street, Regent's, park. Mrs. Pugh. Mr. M‘WILLIAm, according to usage, rose to solicit an &ijection. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES, M.P., expressed his surprise at the worthy Magistrate persisting in this course. Mr. M`WILLIAM—I do so, because I think proper, and shall not desist to please any particular gentleman. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES —Pray, then, don't desist on my account. The only effect of Mr. M‘William's appeal was the pro curing the strong testimony of Colonel Bird and Mr. Hals well, in favour of the application. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES said he considerel testimony in favour of a house against which none had anything to say was a work of supererogation ; and even testimony against ought to be voluntary, and not extorted or begged for. The Brown Bear, Goodman's Fields. Mr. R. Flack. The license was granted, Mr. Stock bearing testimony to the good character of the house, which be said was much frequented by Germans, who retained their national par tiality for music. • The Black Lion Tea Gardens, Bayswate7. son.—Granted. The Chequers, Abingdon-street, Westminster. Frampton.—Granted. The Camden Arms, Camden Town. Mr. Ayres. The license was renewed, after a caution to be more circumspect in future from Sir JAMES WILLIAMS. The Monster Tea Gardens, Pimlico. Mr. Sanders. The license, after some discussion was withdrawn, on the ground that from the changes wrought by time and other circum stances, the premises were no longer adapted for the purpose. The Castle Tavern, Kentish Town. Mr. J. T. Clark. Au .objection was here raised that the entertainments par took too much of a theatrical character. Mr. Clark was called, and declared that he only had concerts, consisting of detached songs and recitations, and that his rooms were frequented by respectable neighbours, many of whom were accompanied by their children of both sexes. Mr. Simp- Mr. HUGHES HUGHES called attention to the words after dancing and music in the license, of" other public entertain tainment of the like kind." He contended that these words would, if they meant anything, silence every objection raised in this case. On a show of hands there appeared 11 for and 11 against the granting the license. Mr: HUGHES HUGHES called on the Chairman to act according to the practice usual in the House of Commons, where the Speaker always gave his casting vote in favour, and not against the measure before the House. MrYSerjeant ANDREWS—But the House of Commons, you will remember, is not a Court of Justice. Sir C. FORBES also called on the Chairman to decide in favour of the license. 'The CHAIRMAN said he would first put the question again, and perhaps the result might render it unnecessary for hnl to vote ; but if not, he should certainly give his vote in favour of the license. According, to the instructions of the Chairman, Mr. Allen went round this time and collected the opinions Qf the Magistrates ; and some now voting who were passive before, there were found to be 17 fa , r and only 10 against the appication. The license was consequently grt The Rising Sun, Somers-town, 'Mr. Parry.—Granted. Tim Eagle Tavern, City-road.— -Mr. Rouse. Mr. 'FP WrLLIAm (as usual) rose to start an objection to Cie house, though he was compeThaed to admit the respecta bility and good Conduct of its occupant. Mr. HaLswELL said he had v isited the house, unknown to the proprietor, and could in tilt) strongest terms bear tes timony to the extremely moral aiad - proper manner in which it was conducted. Mr. BARBER BEAUMONT said. be also had visited the place, and found it to be one wh ere persons for a moderate eNpence might enjoy an innoce.at and rational recreation. He wished to see sueh proper an&refined sources of amuse ment more generally extended. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES said he likewise had observed these gardens, and from the appearance of those who en tered, and the nature of the sports, he was satisfied it was such a place as he delighted in seeing his countrymen flocking to.—The license was unanimously granted. The Tyssen Arms, Dalsten. Mr. Griggs.—Granted. The Stadium, Chelsea. Mr. Random and Baron de Berenger.—Granted. The Garrick Theatre, Goodman's-fields. Messrs. Go mersall and Bennett.—Granted. The following were applications for houses not licensed last year : The Green Dragon, Stepney. Mrs. Wrainch. The petition was most respectably and numerously signed ; and it appearing that the house only lost the license last year through an informality, and not from any improper manage ' ftmt, th'fYlicense-was. renewed. • The Royal Clarence Hotel, Pimlico. Mr. Hart. Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for, and Mr. PAYNE opposed, the application. The petition was most respectably signed. Mr: FITZGERALD admitted the landlord to be a respect able man, but objected that the house was not adapted for music parties. He regretted, for Mr. Hart's sake, being obliged to say thus much. Mr. H. HUGHES was in favour of the license. He wished to see the places in which poor men could enjoy rational amusement multiplied everywhere. 111 r. HALSWELL objected, as it would injure the man sions in Ebury-square and around, some of which were rented as high as 600/. a year. Sir CHARLES FORBES said that Ebury-square had been built since this house, and had therefore come to the nui sance. He thought the amusements of the poor ought not to be crushed to please the wealthy. Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE likewise spoke in favour of granting the application. On a show of hands, the license was lost ; there being 17 against, and 8 only for it. The Camden Head, Camden-town. Mr. Fatt. The petition in this case, was signed by two clergymen, and many respectable persons. Mr. M` WILLIAM said, he feared the clergymen who signed these recommendations, were men more fond of being in the pot-house than the pulpit—(Loud cries of " No, no !" and expressions of astonishment from all parts of the bench.) The application, after a long discussion, was lost. The Eagle Tavern, Camden New -town, Mr, W. H. Duff. • The petition was signed by three clergymen, and the church wardens and overseers, with numerous other signatures. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES hoped the day was not far distant when every publican would be able to have music in his house, without coming here to ask for a license. Mr. ORME thought the law wanted alteration, and that every tavern-keeper ought to be at liberty to gratify his dinner parties with music, if called for. Unfortunately, as the law stood, the Court could not grant them this power, without granting them a great deal more. On a show of hands, there appeared eleven against, and mne for, the license. It was consequently lost by a majority of two. - The Music Hall, 16, Store -street, Bedford-square, Mr. Wornum.—Granted. The Halifax Arms, Mile-end, Mr. Vagts. Mr. PAYNE supported the application, which, however, was lost ; there being five for, and ten against it. The Rose and Crown, Bromley, near Bow. Mr. George Grover. The petition stated that Mr. Grover had held the house many years, and no complaint had ever been made of the mnagement. He had lately rebuilt the premises, at an q*nse of '2,0001. - ; and, there being extensive grounds aftahed, it was peculiarly eligible for music-parties ; and there was, besides, no other licensed house for a mile in any,:direction. The petition was signed by the clergyman, the overseers, and a number of respectable housekeepers. Mr. PAYNE said, if this application were not granted, none could in future apply with anything like reasonable chance of success. The overseers were in the habit of meeting at it, which alone was a proof of its respectability ; but the best proof of this was to be found in the fact, that • Mr. Grover had been elected Chairman of the Committee of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum. Mr. STOCKS hoped the Court would-refuse the applica ticn4 The east-end of the town was the hive of industry, ra4lllt wished to see no music - licenses introduced in any - '•pirt of that district. He could wish the Middlesex Magis trates, like those of Surrey, had only licensed such places as the theatres and Vauxhall-gardens. Mr. BEAUMONT said, unlike the last speaker, he had a little music in his soul, and loved to see a taste for so re fined a pleasure extended ; nor did he see that a love for the concord of sweet sounds would drive industry out of its hive. He rejoiced in seeing so many applications for music licenses, as they proved the growing desire on the part of the public for intellectual and rational amusements ; at the same time, he regretted the number of applications, as they proved that a power had too long been exercised to abridge popular recreations, but which power he hoped, before long, would cease to exist , and that, in the next session of Pariament the Act would be repealed. Mr. H. HUGHES knew not why Bromley alone was to be prohibited from having music within its bounds. Mr. lIALSWELL said, the fact of his brethren in the trade having thought Mr. Grover worthy of being appointed chair man of that excellent charity, the Licensed Victuallers, was w:th him a sufficient reason for voting for the granting the license. Mr. BALLANTINE opposed the application on the general ground, that music and dancing always led to a demoraliza tion of females. Sir J. S. LILLIE said the last speech, if it went for any thing, was a reason why no license should be granted to any house. After some further discussion, the question was put and unhappily lost by a majority of 2 : 10 voting against and 8 for the application. The Dolphin Tavern, Mare-street, Hackney. Mr. Homer. There was no opposition, and the license was granted. The Britannia, Hoxton Old Town. Mr. Freeman. Refused. The Woodman Tavern, Highgate. Mr. M‘Pherson.— Granted, after a few observations from Mr. M`William against, of course. ,The Britannia Tavern, Limehouse. Mr. Corpe.—Re fused. The Royal Pavilion, Church-street, Portman-market. Mr. Maskel. This was a place fitted up as a theatre, and was lost ; riot one band being held up in its favour. The Royal Kent Theatre, Kensington. Mr. Charles Forbes. Notwithstanding the signature of Sir John Con roy, the equerry to the Duchess of Kent, given with the express sanction of her Royal Highness, and the recom mendations of very many inhabitants of Kensington, the application, after a long discussion, was refused. The consideration of the remaining applications was ne cessarily postponed till this day ; one o'clock being the hour fixed for entering upon the same. MR•HENRY BULWER'S "FRANCE."—" Mr. Bul w:er has lived much in France, and enjoyed ample opportuni ties of studying the people. The present book is the result of many years' observation of them. He begins by a dashing sketch of the exterior of the capital, the Champs Elysees, the Boulevards, the Palais Royal, the Quais, the Tuileries, &c., ar e ma d e to pass b e f ore us , an d t h e hi stor i ca l recollec tions connected with them are called up. We have then the characteristics of the people,—their politeness, gallantry, wit, gaiety, and crime ; for exhibiting the Parisians in their plea sures, Mr. Bulwer, by a happy and impressive transition, pro ceeds to deduce precisely similar conclusions from their crimes. 'I he third book, entitled "'Predominant Influences," treats of female influence, military influence, and literary influence, and concludes with detailed critical accounts of some of the most celebrated modern, historical, and dramatic authors of France.

VULGAR ERROR.—There is a vulgar error very prevalent, that what is conceived rapidly is conceived slightly. The reverse is true. The most rapid impression is the strong est and most distinct. What is slowly done is done dully and mistily. It is said that what is easily written is not easily read. On the contrary, what is laboriously written can only be read with labour : the thoughts are far-fetched, and the natural train of ideas is continually broken.—Sir Egerton Brydges, in Fraser's Magazine.
