UNDER the PATRONAGE of HIS MAJESTY, and AU THORIZED by the LORDS of the TREASURY. SIGHT RESTORED.—NERVOUS HEADACHE CURED.—This discovery has proved itself of the greatest importance to the public. The numerous testimonials the inventor has received during the last twenty years, from families and editors of the first respectability, proving the truth of this infallible re storative, all of whom may be applied to, who have been relieved from cataract, gutta serena, opthalmia, and inflammations, all dis eases of the eyes and head having b een comp l e t e l y eradicated, glasses left off after twenty years' use, and the person rendered impervious to contagion by the frequent use of this delightful compound of the most wholesome, choice, aromatic, and odoriferous herbs. It is re commended by occulists and medical practitioners for its many vir tues. The high patronage and character it has attained, is a testi monial beyond suspicion. To prevent imposition, ask for GRIM STONE'S EYE SNUFF, manufactured by , the inventor, No. 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, and No. 24, King-street, Long-acre, London. COPY OF A LETTER sent to Mr. Grimstone, 39, Broad street, Bloomsbury :—" Dear Sir,--You may make use of my name, for a true fact, in taking your Eye Snuff. I have received such great benefit, that I can see to write without glasses, which I could not do before I took your Eye Snuff, my eyes being so very weak; they are now perfectly, strong ! Many of my poor aged men and women would purchase it in preference to other snuff, but they cannot afford sixpence per ounce, or buy it in the cannister. I re main, Sir, your's respectfully, H. PLUCKWELL, Governor of the Poor.—Poor-house, Tottenham, Middlesex, January 24, 1834. — Sight restored." OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the " Old England,' Sept. 22,1833 :—" EYE SNUFF. —This is really an extraordinary preparation. Of what it is compounded we know not ; but this we know, that it is wonderfully efficacious, relieving headache and purging the eyes of injurious humours, especially if they are of a scrofulous nature. It is also an extremely complaisant companion when toiling over musty books or writings, and tends most power fully to enable the eye to perform, without fail, an unusual quantity of labour." OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the United Service Gazette, April 19, 1834.—" The advance of civiliz a ti on , w hi c h g i ves bi rt h infirmity and dis e a se , b r i ngs i n i ts tra i n to new s odiscoveries new f f orm rem s o edial agents and new applications of science to their virtues. In no case has this remark been more signally verified than in the modern prevalence of near- sightedness, and the new appliances for its relief. Truly, we are a blinking genera tion; every second man glares upon us in the streets through varied shades of blue, green, or amber, but none of these optical preser vatives profess to restore the impaired faculty to the vigour of health. Let, however, the student and the literary devotee learn, with gra titude, that such a remedy exists. The instances in which Grim stone's Eye-snuff has renewed the power of vision by restoring tone to the over-strained organ arc so numerous and well authen ticated, that the individual who neglects to make an experiment of its efficacy may justly be said to indulge a silly scepticism at his own expense." OBSERVE the Inventor's Signature on each Cannister. Sold in cannisters, Is. 3d., 2s. 4d., 4s. 4d.. and Bs. each. Observe the signature on each cannister, " With the patronage of his late Ma jesty, and authorised . by the Lords of the Treasury." A liberal allowance to all venders of " Grimstone's Eye-snuff." All orders made payable in London. Letters post paid. Genuine old Snuff and &mars as imported. MESSRS. KINNEARS, SMITHS, AND CO.'S BA N K RUPTC Y.—Yesterday the second General Meeting of the creditors was held in the Waterloo-rooms, and was numerously attended. Mr. James Brown, accountant, the interim factor, laid before meeting, with other documents, a report, in which it was stated that, though any estimate which could be made at present of the probable dividend to be realised from the estate must necessarily be vague and inconclusive, he was led to think that it might fairly be taken at from 10s. to lls. per pound. Mr. Brown was unanimously appointed trustee, and notice was given that the creditors might lodge their claims and grounds of debt with him at any time that suited their convenience. ---Edinburgh Courant. A good deal of anxiety having prevailed on the subject of the possibility of the Swan River Colony maintain ing itself during the current year, a report from the Agricul tural Society to Captain Irwin, the Lieutenant-Governor, in September last, has been published. In this they state, that notwithstanding the disadvantages under which the settlers still labour, the cultivation of - the land had increased fourfold since their preceding report ; that the quantity of land under wheat was about 560 acres, and that about 240 acres were under barley, oats, peas, potatoes, &c. The increase of cattle and sheep had been materially checked by t h e necessities of the t c t many yin of them to sa cr ifi ce their breeding _ stock tothis particular th e speedy assist ss tl settlers obliging butcher, and ance of Government was much needed. The depredations of the natives had ceased, and a more friendly feeling was gene rated between them and the settlers. The value of the wool exported to thi s country , i n t h e year 1830, was 2221. ; last year it amounted to .5,000/. - - - The GOVERNOR stated that the Court of Directors had considered it proper to call this special meeting, for the pur pose of declaring the first dividend on the Company's shares.—(Hear.) He had had the honour of presiding on many occasions when. he really had felt much distress, not on his own account or on account of his 'own family who . were connected with the undertaking, but.he had felt great pain that the Company had not heretofore, succeeded. He had no hand whatever in the original formation of the Com pany, it having been promoted by some of the most intelli gent persons in the City, and therefore it was that it 11 4 ,1 pained him to see so little success attend their exertions. In looking back to the causes of the failure, he could not but feel that it arose from the selection the Company had male of its first agent, who had made many mistakes, but none greater had he made than that of selecting a larg e quantity of land that was utterly and entirely useless for the purpose of supporting sheep. Since that ti*, however, the Directors had, after much difficulty, ob tained from Government the power of exchanging 600,010 acres for two other locations, of which Sir Edwird Parry, the Company's late Commissioner, had spoken in the highest terms. The exertions of that officer in tne service of the Company had entitled him to every prdse and gratitude. Sir Edward Parry had spoken of one k- Cation, consisting of about 260,000 acres, in the most flat tering and romantic manner—it was well washed with many rivers, a most important point in a country like New South Wales. Sir E. Dumaresque, the Company's present Com missioner, had spoken in high terms of the °Vier location, consisting of 360,000 acres, considering it (Tay good with the former land he had alluded to. As it was known that sheep required a change, these two locations would provide ample means for that purpose. The Company had now 40,000 sheep, which produced last year 270 bales of wool, which had been sold here, and produced 7,782/. 2s. 6d. Some hides bad also been sent over. He • (the Governor) was happy to state, that the time was at length come when the Directors thought it right to propose the declaration of a divideni—(Hear)—and it Was recommended that a divi dend of ten shillings per share should be paid to the pro prietors. The Directors thought it right to retain, with the sanction of the proprietors, 500/. of the surplus, in order to meet any extraordinary expenditure, should such arise. Mr. HART DAVIS (a Director), said the expenses of the year were provided for, and the dividend now proposed to be made was out of the produce of last year's wooL The GOVERNOR observed that the colony of New South Wales was fast advancing in prosperity ; many circum stances indicated that this was the fact, and the C o mpany would advance in importance with the colony, as their es tablishment was so much identified with it. The accounts of the Company, showing the actual state of their affairs, were on the table, and to which he claimed the particular attention of the Court of Directors. He should now put the question, that the dividend of 10s. per share should be agreed to. Mr. WINTER remarked that to so pleasing a proposition he thought none would object. He wished to. know, how ever, how the balance of 3,363/. was divided ? Mr. H. DAVIS said that was the balance of cash in hand, after paying all the debts due by the Company. The question was then put, and the proposed dividend agreed to unanimously. The balance-sheet of the Company's accounts, showing the present state of the finances of the establishment, was then handed round. It appeared from this document that the cash in hand, at the date the accounts were balanced, was 3,363/..; that the produc e or 270 bales of wool sold was 7,7821. 2s. 6d. ; and of hides, 230/. ; making a total of 11,374/. Is. 3d. On the debit side, were items to meet bills drawn by Sir E. Parry, 1,0601. Freight of wool and insurance, 5701. To amount required to pay the dividend, 5001. ; which, with the 500/. proposed to be retained, would leave a probable balance, after paying the dividend, of 4,2341. 4s. Bd. Mr. WINTER asked if the expenses of the Company had been reduced? The GOVERNOR replied that the greatest exertions had ,been made to promote economy. Colonel Dumaresque has received but 7001. a year, without any retiring all owance ; he was resident in the colony, and in his dispatche s state d that, after ha v i ng r od e over 1,000 miles of the l an d, the Company had some of the best land in the colony.—(Hear.) Mr. WINTER hoped that, as a dividend had at length been declared, the proprietors would not hereafter be called upon to retrace their steps and make further calls. He concurred in the opinion expressed of the ability of Colonel Dumaresque, who, though a soldier, was fully competent, from his general knowledge to act for the Company. Mr. DAVIS said that at the last meeting an attack had been made upon the Directors by a proprietor not now present, who had given it as his opinion that, unless a radi cal reform was made in the Company, there would be no end to calls for more money. He (Mr. Davis) had then .) stated that it was probable no further call would b e re quired, and that a dividend was not so remote as ma n y ex pected ; and he was happy to state that the Direct ors at length were enabled to propose a dividend.—(Hear. The expenses of the Company had been materially lessened, but as the Company advanced in prosperity he could not promise that expenses would not increase. If they had an increase in their sheep they must have more shepherds ; and if the consumption of coals increased from the Com pany's colliery, they must have more colliers. He could not but express his thanks to the proprietors, who, by their patience, and the support they had given the directors, had rescued this Company from abandonment.—( Hear.) He would venture to assert, that, for the next ten years to come, the proprietorS would never have a less dividend than that now proposed, but that it would be considerably i n . creased, and that too after making full allowances for any difficulties the Company might encounter. The produce of wool from the Company's sheep the year before last was 200 bales, last year it was 275 bales, and this year it was expected to reach 400, and in the following year 600 hales were expected. They had also a considerable export of coals to Van Diemen's Land, and the consumption in the colony was gradually increasing ; last year they sold above 7,000 tons. The progress of steam navigation would also increase considerably the consumption of coal. The prospects of the Company, therefore, were extremely favourable. In reply to a question, the Governor said that the bills to be paid and drawn for by Sir E. Parry, were about 5,000/. ; last year they amounted to about 7,0001. It had been laid to the charge of the Company that they were not Christians—that they had not provided for the religious in struction of the people on their land. 'This was not the case, for this year the Directors had been in negotiation with Government on the subject, the Colonial Minister having proposed to give the Company a certain quantity of land, and the latter undertaking to provide for the expenses of a clergyman. After many delays the Government broke off the negotiation, and would have nothing further to do with the subject. Sir Edward Parry had, out of his own resources, built a church on the Company's land, and the expenses of maintaining a clergyman were paid by the Co mpany.—( Hear.) After some further business had been disposed of, the thanks of th'e meeting were, on the motion of Mr. WIN TER, moved to the Court of Directors, for the favourable Report of the Company's affairs that day presented to them, and for their zeal and attention to the affairs of the cgs ,- blisbment. The motion was carried unanimously. The GOVERNOR returned thanks, and said the Directors had, in times of difficulty, paid every attention to the Coma pany's affairs, and when, too, there was little or no prospect of advantage ; and he could answer for them that they would not be less desirous of attending to the concerns pf the eo tablishment in future. The Meeting then adjourned. , - GIN PALACES.---A splendid gin p a l ace has neen lately erected in Rosemary-lane, in the midst of the old clothes market, called " Rag Fair," and its magnificent fittings-uPo polished mahogany doors, large squares of plate glass, a very handsome lamp, which alone is said to have cost one hundred guineas, and a large clock, which is illuminated after dark, as a beacon to lure the victims of the liquid fire, gin, to the Moloch within, forms a very striking contrast with the mean dwellings, dirt, and misery which surround it. The interior is fitted up in the same splendid manner, with massive gas burners and casks of the most gaudy colours. A gin palace on a very large scale is about to be erected in High-street, Shadwell (a continuation of Ratcliffe-highway), on the site of an old anal unpretending public-house, called the Ship and Sheares, which, with another house adjoining, has been pulled down for the purpose. The police expect a very great addition to their labours in this disorderly neighbourhood on the completion of the gin palace, as the street already abounds with liquor shops, which are always filled with sailors and drunken prostitutes. The shopkeepers view the intended erection with dismay. ,feelings of A short time ago a committee of the guardians of the poor of the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell, was appointed to investigate numerous frauds which have during several years been committed on the parish funds. The committee have made three reports, which have been circulated for the information of the parishioners. The reports, which are to the following effect, clearly point out the necessity of some legislative measure tozegulate the_ parochial expenditure. " FIRST REPORT. The committee appointed by the board of guardians, on the 13th of March, 1834, to inquire and report_ as to the existence of abuses in the pension and other books, beg to state— " That they first applied themselves to a strict exami nation of the pensioners, causing all whose residences they could obtain to appear before them; taking account of the aged and infirm, the number in family for which relief was granted, the ages and names of children, and the correct addresses of all ; they also, as far as possible, endeavoured to ascertain the circumstances and situation of the several persons, thereby regulating the amount of pension neces sary to be paid. After which there remained a great num ber of names without addresses, and for which no satisfac tory information can be obtained. These names appear to have been on the books for years, and_naver summoned to attend the annual call of the pensioners ; nor is it anti cipated that many of them ever will attend. This portion of your committee's labours has been severe, and occupied much of their time, but, they trust, will prove of great and essential benefit to the parish ; and, before closing their labours, they propose - to present a book t commencing from Lady-day last, containing only the names of persons they have examined, or received certificates from the country verifying the existence of the parties, and on all occasions have refused to pay such pensions until such certificate was received, signed by the minister and churchwarden of the parish ; and your committee hope to accompany the said book with such suggestions as appear to them may be beneficial in the future general management. " Your committee, after an attentive examination of the pension books, and taking the best evidence they could get from various persons intimately acquainted with the same, are forced with deep regret to state their full con viction that great and extensive frauds have been com mitted and practised for years. That in the pension book there are names never ordered by the board, and unques tionably fictitious ; and others kept there and represented to have had the money paid them long after they had ceased to live. That numerous instances occur where 40, 60, 80,100, and as high as 200 and 300 shillings have been paid, without , any cause or reason assigned for the same, when only Bs., 10s., or 205., or a very minor sum, was due. The answer given to such cases is that they are payments made in lieu of pensions ; but your committee can get no information from any individual whatever sufficiently satisfactory to explain the same, and are under the painful necessity of concluding that very many of such sums so paid are nothin g less than direct frauds. B u t even s h ou ld an y o f th em have been actually paid to th e parties represented, your committee are of opinion that they are decidedly illegal, inasmuch as the same have not received the authority of the board. That fraud has likewise been practised by carrying forward from one quarter to the other a greater number of weeks than was due, as will be found in the case of Amelia Thomas, in the year 1829, whose pension is represented to be 2s. 6d. per week ; two weeks was due at the end of the quarter, and appears to have been carried forward to the succeeding one, and 10s. paid on the fourth week : the two weeks brought forward has been scratched out, and altered to 41, the 10s. into 107 s. 6d. ; and three weeks after that will be seen 80s. more paid, making the sum of 187 s. 6d., where only 17s. 6d. was due, if due at all. Most of these entries, it, appears, have been made by Hallpike, a pauper in the house, under the direction of a Mr. John Scott, many of them after the overseers had ceased paying the pensioners ; and your committee feel bound to observe, that the practice of fraud was greatly facilitated by the overseers neglecting to cast up the amount paid, together with the balance remaining, to see that it corresponded with the amount they had received, and thereby close the account instead of leaving the balance with Mr. Scott, and the account to be made up by the same pauper, which on many occasions has been neglected for a week or ten days together.• Had this practice not been adopted of late years, your committee are convinced many frauds, as re gards the pension book, would have been prevented. " Your committee feel that it would be very impolitic to enter into a detail of all the cases and evidence they have received in the course of this investigation ; but, in generalizing the same, state their belief, that the cases of fraud are numerous, many of which they have as yet been unable fully to examine, or ascertain the probable amount the parish has lost. They regret to state as their opinion, that robbery has been committed on most of the books used by the overseers, or the board, beside the pension book, viz., the money order book, the funeral book, the board and relief book ; and, on examining the receipts for apprentice fees, your committee are unable to find inden tures or entries in the register for many of them, which, if genuine, ought to be found. These receipts, purporting to be for monies paid to masters for boys and girls, for which no indenture can be found, are all written by paupers in the house, under the direction of Mr. Scott, who after wards represented to one of the overseers, that he had paid the money, and thus obtained his signature to the same, on the authority of which he then procured the money from the master. Your committee cannot account for these fic titious receipts or memorandums escaping the detection of some of the overseers, but from the great confidence gene rally reposed in him, not one of them containing the signa ture of the persons represented to have received the money. The amount under this head appears in one ye • ar about 100/., in another near 70/. " Your committee find, upon examination of several past overseers and others, that the payment of the pensioners is wholly and entirely the province and duty of the over seers ; and they consider that much facility is given to any designing man to commit fraud, by the constant change of those officers, who, varying every month, and in many in stances not having the assistance of past overseers to in struct them on first coming into office, have made them the more easily imposed upon by Mr. Scott, not only in the paying of pensions, but in many other parts of their duty, by signing receipts, and sanctioning entries made in the money order book upon his representation, and who, from his constant attendance, has been most generally ap plied to by them for information. So constant has been his attendance, that on the days of paying pensions he has not been absent more than twice for the last eight or nine years, and he has been known to have_ travelled all night from the country, to be in time on the morning ; that it has been his constant practice (with slight exceptions) to assist the overseers in paying the money, while they called the names and made the entries ; and your committee be lieve, .by evidence they have received, that on many such occasions, money has been extracted by him from off the table, for which he afterwards made entries himself, but generally caused them to be made, as well as other entries for which he obtained the money from the master, on whom it appears he mostly made weekly demands on slips : of paper, containing charges for pensions, apprentice fees , funeral y allowances, money orders, exchanging silver, &c. &c., the greater part of which your committee believe to have been gross and shameful robbery on the parish. " In the course of the before-mentioned examination of overseers, your Committee learned with surprise that Mr. Whipple (who expresses much zeal to -demonstrate the superiority of his acts), during the period he was in office as overseer, considered there was something w ron g in the p ens i on book, and, in consequence, that he (Mr. WhIPPle) and others formed a committee to detect the same, who, AO meting some few times, left it nyzch as they found it, with tit making any discovery whatever , Your Committee regret this el:Tumstance very much, being' convinced that had a little more perseverance. and a slight degree of attention, been used, with V i ze general practical knowledge of the book which they pbssessect 4 overseers, they must have discovered some of the numerous trt'..:'(is in it, and h ave l ong s i nce put an end to that system whicii continued up to the period of your Committee's appoint ment. " Your Committee, after proceeding in the examination of this painful subject as far as they thought needful, re quested Mr. Scott to attend on Thursday, April 10, to ex plain, if possible, the many wrongs that appeared to have been inflicted by him, but regret that at such interview not, in the slightest instance was any explanation offered that bore a shade of satisfaction, but rather from its supplicatory character. to stamp the conviction of guilt. After which your Committee felt great difficulty as to what course they should pursue, being empowered Only as a Committee of Inquiry, and, however urgent the occasion, unable• to call a meeting of the Board that could be legal, they having adjourned from the Bth instant to this day ; it' was therefOre deemed prudent to take advice of counsel how far they would be justified, on the evidence they had received, to commence criminal pro ceedings ; and in pursuance of such advice they, on Tues day morning, applied to the magistrate of Hatton-garden, and obtained a warrant for his apprehension ; and on the Thursday ventured to offer a reward of 1001. to discover him, by posting-bills and advertisements in most of the morning and evening papers. For the justiication of these measures the committee throw themselves oil the considera tion of the board. " Your committee further be g to observe, that should the board deem it necessary that more than a summary statement of the frauds should be laid before them, and that as nearly as possible their extent should be ascer tained, it can only be accomplished by appointing an effi cient clerk to extract the whole under their direction. And to prevent, in future, entries being made in the board book such as have been made by order of Mr. Scott, they re commend that the book be kept entirelvin the custody of the clerk, and that he furnish extracts of all orders therein made to the master on' the following morning ; and upon all occasions when pensions are put on, that the name and address of the parties be entered, the examination taken, together with the particulars of the family, so as to enable the same to be easily ascertained, when needful. " In conclusion, your committee most urgently recom mend, that the board adopt the most vigorous measures to bring to condign punishment, as an example to others, and as a just retribution due to the parish, the man who has thus betrayed the confidence he so extensively possessed, and who has been guilty of such base and infamous conduct.

" The committee appointed 13th March, 1834, to examine the pension and other books, have to present to the board the new pension book, commencing from Lady-day last, pursuant to the promise made in their report of the 22d of April ; and which book, your committee flatter themselves, will be found to contain a correct list of persons put on the pension list by the board, with their Christian names, ages, and address, as well as the names and ages of children for whom pensions are allowed, and every other requisite particular. The list is divided into three parts, viz., family cases, bastardy cases, and country pensions. In the latter cases your committee have not been able to examine all the parties personally ; but if the plan and mode which they have acted upon, and which, with others, they now respectfully and earnestly submit to the con sideration of the board, be adopted, they feel assured that few (if any) frauds can escape detection. " The pension book is made up to the end of the year, without a fresh entry of names each quarter, as heretofore ; which plan does away with the necessity of carrying forward the number of weeks due to the succeeding quarter, and pre vents any such frauds as noticed by your committee in their former report, in the case of Amelia Thomas ; and it is re commended that the same plan be adopted for the future, and that the new book commence the first week in January, and terminate at the end of December in the same year, to avoid two years forming part of the same book. " That the entries of moneys paid be made each alternate week in red ink, which will lead to the immediate detection of any entry placed in a wrong column, and that no pension be paid at any other time than the regular morning for payments. " That no petty pension book be kept, being quite unneces sary, and having greatly facilitated the many frauds practised by John Scott. " That a committee of seven guardians be appointed, three of them to act with the overseers of the month in paying pen sions, and on no account to quit before the amount paid is cast up with the balance left, to see that it corresponds with the sum obtained of the master ; and, having so balanced, to sign the book. " That no money be paid in advance to pensioners, it being deemed by your committee rather injurious than beneficial to the poor, and tending to confuse the accounts. " That no country pension be paid until a certificate is re ceived, duly signed by the minister and churchwarden of the parish ; and that on the payment of such moneys a receipt be taken by the master for the same. That the receipt and cer tificate be numbered and pasted in a book to be kept for that purpose. And that the master be instructed on no account to pay any such pension without strictly adhering to these rules, nor until the account has been previously exanlined by the pension committee, and ordered for payment under the signa ture of one of them. " That all new pensions ordered by the board, or payable on orders of affiliation, be entered in the pension book by or under the orders of the clerk of the guardians, who shall put his initials to the same, the date of the order, address, age, &c., so that the system at present adopted may be correctly kept up. " That a correct list, containing the name and address of all pensioners, and the amount of their pensions, be printed yearly, in the form of a small book, with blank fly leaves, for the sole use of the guardians and officers, who may occasion ally visit them, and make such reports as the cases require. - " That the pension committee do annually, at the end of November or beginning of December, summon and examine each pensioner personally, taking their correct address, age, and every requisite particular, in order to ascertain and deter mine what alterations are required previous to the making out the new book ; and that the clerk do call the attention of the committee to this duty in proper time, that the necessary ar rangements may be made. " That no account on orders of affiliation be allowed to stand uncollected longer than three months ; and that if the money cannot be obtained, a report of the same be made to the committee by the collector in writing every three months, in order that they may reduce the weekly allowance to the same standard as those for whom no weekly allowance is paid, namely, Is. 6d. per week, until the debt is paid, in which case the money to be made good to the party entitled to receive it. " Your committee feel' convinced that if these rules are strictly attended to, they will be found all sufficient for the pipsion book ; and they now beg to submit their suggestions on other books and matters. " MONEY ORDER BOOK. " The Committee feel that a unity of action between the overseers and the committee named 'by the board to assist in relieving the poor on Tuesdays and Fridays, is calcu lated to produce considerable good, if properly applied, and the committee's services not confined to the put-door cloth ing only, as at present; from the constant change of ever seers, and the time required to obtain a proper knowledge of the duties to be performed, it appears obvious much be nefit would be derived by the committee regularly and punc tually attending and assisting in dispensing relief, as it was contemplated on their original appointment they would have done ; and they would, no doubt, be enabled to render much useful information, as well in the detection of impo sition, as in the relieving the poor, particularly on a new overseer first coming into office, and at the commencement of each month. It is, therefore, recommended that one of the committee should attend with the overseers every relief day alternately, or get one of his colleagues to attend for him. That all sums given above 2s. 6d. shall be paid by a printed cheque on the master, and that the master be strictly enjoined not to pay any money to orders in the money order book, but only on cheques signed by an over seer, containing the name and number on the counterpart, and the particulars for which such sums above 2s. 6d. are paid to be entered as now into a book same as the money order book, and that the page of each payment may be posted, as at present, which is found of great utility as a re ference, and also as a means of checking improper applica tions. And the committee further recommend that the cheques so paid, together with the amount put into the overseer's small pay mcnts book, be posted up at the end of each month in a book to be kept for that purpose, and that such book do lay on the table on the first board night after the expiration of the month ready for auditing, signed by the overseer of the month the account applies to. " That the beadle do constantly attend on the mornings of relief, to assist the overseer and committee from the commencement to the close of the reliefs, and visit all such cases as may be required ; and that the churchwardens be requested to facilitate such attendances ; for if caees were more frequently visited, your committee have no doubt great advantage would be derived thereby. " That the overseers be requested not to grant relief to persons applying to them beyond the sum of 205., without previously submitting the same to the board to determine thereon. " BEADLE. " That no money be paid to the beadle, as heretofore, for the relief of out-door poor, but that in all cases where the parties are unable to attend, he do, on visiting the same, fill up and sn, :n a printed form of eheqne on the master, and insert on the art the name and address, and the relief which he dful. That the master do pay the same on presen tctEiuinnokinraPZ; tb lt suc t h he ch p e e q r u so e n s is ill, a b n y d h u no o n ne til t a o ud a i t t t e e d n , d an fo d ir i-Ile do inform ,the master of it, who shall mediately, and that the beadle do lay or. the table every board int.'ht a book containing the name and s address with the amount ordet:ed in all such cases together L e a d l lac personases amount, w the withb e bc with his cheque book. als without the " That no money be gr ‘ a ‘ i F it u e ri d E f ß o A r l f - Un • over seer and beadle having first visited the case, and reported the same to the overseer or committee, and the stn.' entered in the funeral book, with the name and address ; and that the master be ordered not to pay any funeral money without the entry being first made and signed as directed ; and that he then do /,‘ ay the person ordered to receive the same, and take his or her signature for the amount; and that no payment be allowed in the auditing his account, but what shall be in strict conformity with this rule. " APPRENTICES. 4 g That all application s: e. for apprenticing b made t o the board,, and that the master do not p a y any monies as premiums 1- ‘ Your committee most strongly recommend that no orders be given to tradesmen but on printed cheques, duly numbered and signed by the person ordering the goods, as well as the counterpart, pursuant to the regulations made ; and that the tradesmen be ordered to preserve the original, and put the number of the cheque on his invoice and in his general ac count, in order that the auditors may compare the accounts, cheques, and orders, and see that they correspond. Should these regulations be adopted, your committee suggest that • they be written by the clerk in the first page of the respective books to which such regulation applies, as a reference to the plan to be pursued, and as a means of continuing such uniform system. In conclusion, your committee beg to state that they will continue to pay the pensions up to Midsummer next ; previous to which, they trust, a committee will be appointed to dis charge that duty agreeably to their suggestions ; and they fur ther assure the board, that they will continue to use every exertion they possibly can to fulfil the objects of their appoint ment. That they are endeavouring to extract the amount of those cases that appear to them to have been frauds committed by John Scott; but, from the nature of the transactions, the difficulty of proof, and the various intricacies in which they are involved in presenting a gross amount, which they purpose to do in their next and probably concluding report, much of it must be considered as speculative, their inference being drawn from the nature and characteristics of the various cases that they have examined.

" The committee appointed, 13th March, 1834, to investi gate the pension and other books, respectfully beg to state in this third report, that the principal information they have to lay before the board, other than is to be found in their former ones, is the statement of the amount of John Scott's plunder as far as they have extracted it, and which they would gladly have laid before the board some time since, had it been in their power;, but the time and labour requisite to make such statement can scarcely be estimated by any hut those by Whom it has been performed. Your committee beg to state, this task has been accomplished without employing any clerk to assist them, as suggested in their former report ; and regret to say, that there appears to them a sum o f u p war d s o f 10,000 1. to have been fraudulently taken by him from time to time, but from what exact date it is difficult to say. Evidently, as far back as the year 1820, there is an undoubted instance of gross fraud in a bastardy case, of the name of Ann Buckley, at which period John Scott was in the habit of paying the pen sioners ; and your committee strongly suspect this was about the time he commenced his depredations. " The amount, extracted from various books, is as follows : "By pension book £8,946 11 6 By relief ditto BB7 2 0 For apprentice fees 554 13 For second fees Clothing for apprentices 45 17 15 £10,487 19 6 " In submitting this statement, your committee respectfully beg it to be understood, that they do not pledge themselves to be correct in every case they have extracted ; although they have given each case the best consideration they could, and believe there are not many they have erred in ; on the other - - hand, they beg to state, there are many more cases which they have not been able to inquire into, that would still occupy a con siderable addition of time, without any particular advantage being obtained. They consider, by the above, that a sufficiency has been extracted for every useful purpose that may be wanted. The committee further beg to state, that,. during the sixteen weeks they paid the pensioners, the amount paid by them was 1,8091. 125., averaging 113/. 2s. per week ; that the sixteen weeks previous to their commencing was 2,1141. 6s. ; and the sixteen weeks of last year corresponding with the sixteen paid by your committee this year, was 2,0931. ss. 6d. The average of these two sums is per week 131/. Os. 7d., thereby proving a saving in their payments of 181. 7s. 7d. per week, or 9551. 14s. 4d. per annum. This comparative statement of saving your committee make as positive, and doubt not there is a considerable saving in other books could it as easily be ascertained. " It is with regret your committee report, that they have been unsuccessful in all their efforts to take John Scott, though every exertion has been used that they felt themselves justified in resorting to ; that your committee have experienced the most useful and prompt service at the hands of Mr. Dixon, the superintendent of police • and your committee have further to express the kind and ready attention they experienced on their application to the Honourable Robert Grant, through whose influence letters were immediately obtained from the Government to the Ambassadors of such places as, in conse quence of information received, it was considered prudent to send an officer to trace him, but which proved unsuccessful. Your committee cannot but believe the time not very far dis tant when some more decisive information will be obtained, until which period they doubt the propriety of incurring much. expense, but recommend that the board should again placard him. Your committee might have expended large sums of money on speculative journeys proposed by various persons, who sought to be paid (quite independent of the reward offer ed), but on whose statement your committee could not think themselves justified to have spent any money. " In consequence of various reports that a large sum of money had been offered your committee to compromise the infamy of John Scott, they feel it necessary to state expli citly, for the information of the board and parish generally, that no offer has ever been made. That a conference once took place with Mr. Chappell, who intimated he thought a sum of money might be obtained, in consequence of his having heard that Mrs. Scott had said she would wish the money to be re turned ; but that neither he, nor the solicitor, nor any one else, was authorised to make an offer, and which, if it had been made, could not have been acceded to without the direc tion of the board. But - should the statement of Mrs. Scott's expression be true, and she still be actuated by the desire of making restitution, there will be no difficulty in placing such sum in the Bank of England to the credit of the parish. " Your committee beg to state, that the books and papers committed to their care have been kept constantly in safe cus tody, in order that should John Scott have been taken, and the books and papers produced in evidence to a court of jus tice, the party in whose charge they were could have sworn that the same had undergone no alteration, nor been out of his custody. This was adopted under the advice of Mr. Bod kin and Mr. Selby ; and your committee, in now surrendering the keys, feel it their duty to call the attention of the board to the circumstance of what situation the parish would be placed in, if, in a court of law, such affidavit could not be made; and the committee strongly urge the propriety of the board dispassionately considering this subject, before they suffer the books to pass from their present depository, that the ends of justice may not be defeated. " Your committee beg to state, that they had the desk used by John Scott at the workhouse opened in the presence of an officer, who took an inventory of its contents, which princi pally consisted of cancelled cheques, &c., a sixpenny stamp, and 3s. 14-d. in copper, which they handed to the master, to place to the credit of the parish ; and the cheques, &c., are all sealed up and placed in the hands of Mr. Selby. " Your committee; in concluding this report, and with it their labours as regards this inquiry, respectfully beg to re commend to the hoard, that a full statement be made to the parishioners of every particular that the report can furnish, as made to this board by your,cornmittee, of the system of fraud carried on by John Scott ; and they hope that the impression existing in the minds of many of the inhabitants, that a rate will be necessary to make up the defalcation of John Scott, will be removed, but, on the contrary, the parishioners will be benefited by the detection and prevention of future robbery.

ARUNbELL'S DISCOVERIES IN ASIA MINOR.— " In Asia Minor," says the Morning Herald, in speaking of this new work, " in place of its secular greatness, wretched Turkish, villages, and small towns, have grown up, while the relics of its noble cities lie in the midst of desolation. In place of the religion of Paul, and John, and Barnabas, a divided reign is shared between the urkish Mollah, and*Der. vish, and the Greek Priest. This work will be long referred to by the devout Christian as well as the scholar, as the most important and valuable illustration of the Holy Scriptures which has lately appeared." ILLEGAL EXPORTATION OF MACII I NERY.--... Several large seizures of machinery , a bout to be illegally ex ported to France and Holland, have been recently made by the revenue officers, and it is believed that the practice has been carried on to a very large extent. On the Ist inst. Mr. G. Swainson, a tide surveyor of customs, on going on hoard the Columbine steamer, Captain Corbin master, bound to Ham- burg, had his suspicions excited by a package which had been shipped as a mill .shaft, and the external appearance of which bore that description. Upon a very minute examination it sounded hollow, when Swainson ordered a bole to be cut in the middle, by which be found that the external part was an en tire deception , and made into the form of a mill shaft. It proved to be a case fifteen feet long, cont a i n i ng 2 , 840 sp i n dles tfor b e K : s bi 7 r declared eelleu machinery,amr dit sewhere it wa s va l ue d a t 1401. The officers which he s e i ze d an d d e li vere d at to be one of the neatest deceptions they e ver witnessed. A sim 4 lar seizure of bobbin-net machi nery was made on a steamer bound to France a f e w weeks 1 ago. Of course no owner has appeared to claini-the contra band property.
