August. 16, at Twelve, in 37 lots, An excellent. valuable FREEHOLD PROPERTY; corn . % prising a capital steam and water corn mill, a windmill, capa cious granaries, «ounting houses, s•abling and premises, two very superior residences, with gardens, pleasure• grounds, aid rich meadow land attached ; a good dwelling-house, occupied by the late brewer, pr, ductive orchard, garden, and meadow land adjoining ; numerous parcels of arable and meadow land, admirably adapted for building on, and for market gardens and accommodation purposes ; also various plots of valuable ground, abutting upon the navigable river Colne, suitable for the erection of wharfs and business premises; a valuable marsh, containing Its acres, and a detaiched arable field, containing about 8 acres, with a sobstantial cottage and sehool-room at tached The entire property comprises n« arty 100 acres of very superior land, delightfully situate, within about a mile of the town, and presents a rare opportunity for advantageous invest ment. CATHEDRALS OF ENGLAND. The liberal conduct of Sir Robert Stopford, the Governor of Greenwich Hospital, in throwing open the Painted Hall and Chapel to the public, free of charge, for two days in the week, Mondays and Fridays, is highly to be approved of; and we turn to the Deans and Chapters, and tell them to go and do likewise with their Cathedrals, which are tine buildings of the gothic and ancient architecture, and such as no other country can boast of. On the Continent, the cathedrals are open to the public the greater part of every day free, and those persons who have visited and observed the conduct of the people, must be convinced of the great advantage those facilities of admission give to the public in those countries. The effects on the people, as a kind of education, are perceptible in the estimation and atten tion paid by them to the monuments of art in all the collections in those countries. Until of late years it was supposed, and boldly stated, that Englishmen were not to be admitted to collections of paintings, or to any public buildings or parks, as foreigners are admitted on the Continent ; but the experiment we have seen made through the persevering exertions of a few gentlemen, at the British Museum, National Gallery, Hampton . Park, East India Milaannt, and other places, proves most satisfactorily, that English men can behave as well as any countrymen,when ad mitted to those valuable collections. esterdsY• Lee, yesterdil less of Kelt rid Princes , the MIN , '" das, ViscouP 'on de Bra' ITIONc\i LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, JOHN PARRY, Hon.

There . . members present, E. Evai,s, Esq., Mayor, in the chair. The Alayor explained held on Wednesday, the 20th of Jul the object of the rneeting,and said, in reference to the Property tax Act the duty of the Council was permissive; for had it been imperative, so great was the repugnance he felt to assist in carrying out so inquisitorial a law, that he should individually have sought to avoid taking the slightest part in it, by retiring from the chair. With this feeling, he was disinclined to make any movement in the affair; hut as the app o i n t ment was with the Mayor, Aldermen , and Council, he could not think of de ciding for the whole body, and therefore considered it his duty to call the Council together that he might ascertain their plea- sure. After a brief discussion, in which Mr. John Dent ad- I mitted the tax was inquisitorial, it was moved by Alderman i R. Evans. and second ed by Mr. Davis, that this Council do I adjourn sine die. was The motion carried unanimously; that no appointment of Commissioners has been matle.---.lfOr cester Journal. _V dreadful murde r was cotmnitt ed on the evening ! of the 17th inst. at Alsemberg (Belgium), on the persons of two old unmarried lad ies, named Isterdael, one aged 80, and the other 7f. They were literally cut in pieces; the head of one was only hanging on by the skin. The crime took place in their bed-chamber, and the room looked like a slaughter.. house.

" A see , pent,cla 1" be replied, " but it not re de serpent vat beguilet Eve." We extract the following from the Gazette des I Hopitaux, which states that entire confidence may be placed in it : The death of the Prince was caused by an ecrase ment of the head. This denomination was given by Dupuytren to a complication of the severest lesions of the skull, namely, contusion, laceration, rupture, and fracture. To these we may add a species of luxation formed by the separation of the sutures. The examination, therefbre, presented every pos sible physical injury -of the head. These ecrase melds, or extensive complicated fractures, with depression of the cerebral substance, and without division of the skin, generally result from the shock of a beam, a heavy stone, a waggon wheel passing over the head, the fall of a horse over its rider, and, above all, from cannon-balls striking the head in an oblique direction. Falls, also, from a considerable height, with the head foremost, pro.. duce similar effects. The carriage of the Prince was very low, and he must have received a most violent impulsion, for the weight of his body alone cannot explain the cause of so many fractures, and so complete a crushing of the bones. We must either suppose that the two forces were so directed as to make the head exclusively receive the shock, or else that the bones were extremely brittle, many examples of which are recorded by sur gical writers. The body was opened forty hours after death. The following is a summary of the observa tions :—External Aspect—Commencement of putre faction, especially on the abdominal region, and the posterior part of the trunk. Cadaverous rigidity of the limbs. Traces of contusion en the right cheek, and on the eyebrow and temple of, the same side. A large sanguineous tumour on the right posterior part of the cranium ; traces of con tusion on the anterior part of both knees, on the left hand, and a little below the left hip. Marks of leeches, which had been applied, after the accident, in large numbers, behind both ears. Puncture (by bleeding) of the median cephalic vein of . the right arm. Marks of the application of the cupping scarifi cator on different parts of the body, and also of sinapisms on the legs. There was bloody infiltration of the soft parts which cover the superior, posterior, and lateral regions of the cranium. This infiltration was more extensive behind, and on the right side, than elsewhere. The lambdoidal and temporal sutures, on the left side, were disunited, as also were the sphenoidal and temporo-petrwal sutures. The fractures were very numerous, and may be di vided into three series, as to their position and direc tion—lst, Fractures of the right side of the skull. One of these fractures commenced a little to the right of the lambdoidal suture, passed above the posterior and inferior angles of the parietal bone, over the scaly portion, or os squamosum, of the temporal, and ter minated on the temporal process of the sphenoid.- 2.

By the forem6Utioned extraordinary and extensive fractures, the cranium was literally di vided into two parts, namely, an anterior superior portion, comprehending the upper parts of the two parietal bones, the os squamosum of the temporal, the frontal, etlimoides, and the entire of the sphenoid, and a posterior and inferior part which in cluded the occipital bone, the inferior parts of both temporals and parietals, and the hind most portion of the sphenoid. This division was so complete, that it was easy to exercise a move ment of separation, or deduction of the two parts. — The brain was very large. The anterior and inferior parts, as far as the fissure of Sylvius, were reduced to ' a pulpy red matter. In the cavity of the arachnoid membrane was a very considerable effusion of blood. dew drops of sero-sanguineous fluid were found in the ventricles. The spinal marrow and its osseous envelope were unhurt. There was effusion of blood in the pleura! ; the lungs were gorged with blood, but they were motadherent. The heart and pericar dium were sound. The abdominal viscera were in the:i normal state." " The cruel accident which terminated in the death of the Duke of Orleans," observes the Gazette du '" seems to have been in a manner predicted by several prior occurrences of the same nature. For, only a short time after his marriage, his horses ran away with him, and very , nearly threw his carriage into the Garonne ; and, in one of his journeys to Toulon, he was on the verge of being overturned into the river Huveaum, from the bridge at Roque vaire, near Maneilles ; and, again, his' postilion was killed by another accident, near Albertas, in the Bouches du Rhone. FRENCH AND BELGIAN TARIFFS. (From the Constitutionnel.) The commercial negotiations between France and Belgium have come to a conclusion. It is the ordonnance of June 26, which hastened, if not de termined, the conclusion of the treaty between the two countries. In virtue of this convention, the new tariff on linen threads and cloths is not to be ,applied to Belgium, and the old duty, of ten to eleven per cent., is to be allowed to subsist on this part of our frontier. This exception is of vast importance to Belgium, for she supplies us with about twelve or thirteen millions of linen cloths per annum, and about three millions of linen threads. If the tariff of June 26 was applied to the Belgian fron tier, this opening for their linen manufacture would cease to exist; and, therefore, it was natural to de mand, in return for this . favour, some advantages for the commerce and manufactures of France. Those advantages apply to our wines, silks, and salts, to gether with an assimilation .-of French vessels to those of Belgium on the canals of that country. The duties on French wines are of various kinds. First of all, there is the customs duty which amount to 2f. the hectolitre for wine in cask, and 12f. for wine in bottle ; .. next, the excise duty, which is 33f. the hectolitre; and lastly, the octroi duties, which vary according to the population of the towns into which the wine enters. According to the treaty, the customs duty are to be reduced for wines in cask to 50c. the , hectlitore,and for those in bottle to 2f. the hectolitre, and the excise duty is to be only 24f. 75c., giving a reduction of a quarter. Silk forms our principal object of expor tation for Belgium, and represents an annual sum of seven or eight millions. The duty on silk is to be reduced twenty per cent. Wines exported from France into Belgium only amount to about four millions ayear, being two millions less than we send to England. As to brandies , we sell scarcely any in Belgium, whereas we send to England not less less than eight or ten mil lions' worth. the article for which we have made an exception represents an annual value of about 15 millions, whilst the French articles on which Bel gium has reduced the duties only amount to about 12 millions a year. As to the navigation in Bel gium, the treaty does nothing more than esta blish a reciprocity, seeing that her vessels have for a long time enjoyed the same advantages that she has just granted . to ours. The application of the French tariff on linen threads and cloths at the Belgian frontier, is not of any great importance for us,' for the 'English products in passing through Belgium would. of necessity pay a double duty, which would be equivalent to that determined on by the ordonnance of june 26, and.therefore there would not be any advantage in introducing English threads and cloths into Fiance by the road of Belgium. The application of the new tariff to the Belgian frontier would assure a more efficient protection to the pro ducts of this country against the English article. In the treaty which we formerly made with Holland we also obtained a - reduction of duties on our wines ; but in. that country, as well as in Belgium, the duties on consumption are so exceedingly high that the reduc • tion could not be of much service to us, and any little advantage we might have reaped from the agreement was completely annihilated shortly alter, by an arrange ment which increased the excise duty on wines in the same proportion that the customs diminished. To avoid any similar event in Belgium, it has been stipulated that no tax can be authorised under penalty of immediately ordering the tariff to be put in force. The treaty, of which we have just given the heads, is not of any great commercial importance, but it is a good prece dent, which may serve as the basis of ulterior negotia tion. Belgium finds in France an immense market, and, in order to increase it still more, it will be only necessary for her to favour certain of our articles. The duty on wines, notwithstanding the reduction whichias just been effected, is still too high to'admit of mir hoping . to behold a notable increase in their consumption. The same observation applies to our silks, and to certain fancy articles which the Belgians hbrieate but very imperfectly. It is only by their favouring the entrance of those various pzduct6. th a t we shall be able, in return, to receive a gr!ater mess a *lglu: merchandise, and in adz vs)? give alb fresh By the evidence of, Col. Rowan, before the Select Committee, the conduct of the working classes has • been of late years much improved, and he attributes the removal of seclusion, and the free admission of the people to the public edifices and monuments, as hav ing greatly contributed to that favourable result. 11'e may surely then turn to- the cathedrals of this country, as public edifices,- which might contribute greatly to gratify the curiosity of millions, and tend to elevate the taste and to improve ,the opinions of the people, if they were admitted freely to them at stated hours daily. We saw by Lord John Russell's Letter to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, that he desired to see free access granted to the cathedrals on week days, and it is to be regretted that the Dean objected thereto. )Ire therefore give an extract of the Report of the Select Committee of the _House of- Commons on that subject:— Your Committee do not apprehend that any danger to the monuments in Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's would result from giving to the public, under proper regulations, the same freedom of admis sion to those cathedrals which is allowed in the case of the exhibitions referred to. That your Committee strongly deprecate any course which could create an impression that churches were at any tine to be considered merely in the light of places for the exhibition of works of art. But it is their opinion, that, as by increased facilities of admission to the inspection of mere works of art, civilisation has been encouraged and public taste improved, so a more free admission to religious edifices, under proper regulation, may be made con ducive not merely to the gratification of curiosity and the acquirement of historical knowledge, but to the growth and progress of religious impressions, by leading the mind of the spectator from the contem plation of the building to a consideration of the views with which, and the purposes for which, it was origi nally erected and is still maintained. Your Committee beg to refer to the evidence of John Britton , the well-known author of "British Cathedrals," who, for 45 years, has devoted his talents to the study of our national edifices and monuments, as showing the improvement of the people, through the increased opportunities afforded them oistudying those subjects, and the confidence which of late years has been placed in their discretion ; his long and ex tensive experience in these matters has led him to the following conclusions : 2003. What is the result of your observations upon the conduct of the public generally in public places since you were in the habit of visiting them ?—Con siderably improved, immensely improved; you would scarcely suppose it ; supposing I had been from my own country, at a distant part of the world for the last 50 years, I should not liave supposed it the same nation or class of 'people. 2139. What effects are produced on the minds of the poorer classes, in your opinion, from the experi ence that you have had in meeting them in those (ecclesiastical) edifices ?—I have noticed, upon many occasions, a great number and variety 'of persons of the middling and lower classes visiting cathedrals, examining different parts of them, examining the monuments, passing through with great order and decorum, and apparently going away highly satisfied and delighted ; and the only drawback that I have seen or known upon such occasions has been the con duct and rather heavy charges demanded by the vergers and their servants. "Your Committee also refer to the evidence of Mr. Allan Cunningham, the author of the Lives of Bri tish Artists,' and other works of general interest, on the importance of public exhibitions, and the beneficial effects on the minds and manners of the working classes: 1845. You think that frequent access to sculpture and other works of art is the • best means of mak ing the public careful of them ? —Decidedly ; I think that question is solved by the National Gallery being opened; you see a great number of poor mecha nics there, sitting wondering and marvelling over those fine works, and having no other feeling but that of pleasure or astonishment; they have no notion of de stroying them ; I was very much delighted to see them. 1847. Then it is your opinion that facility should be afforded by every possible means to collections of sculpture and painting ? Unquestionably, under proper protection. 1849. .What class of people do you say Fou have seen there ?—Alen who are usually called " mob ;" but they cease to become mob when they get a taste. 1850. You think that now they are more attentive ? —Decidedly. I saw no attempt to hurt anything. I saw a great deal of wonder and pleasure ; there were what appeared to me to be shoemakers, masons, and joiners. 1856. Do you consider that there would be any danger to the monuments in Westminster Abbey, If the public were admitted two or three hours a day, there being proper attendants . in waiting to observe and look after their conduct ?—I think, under proper retrictions and regulations, with a sensible, and able, and active man to take care of them, a man of sense and taste, that there would be no danger. The evidence of Mr. Edward Wedlake Brayley, the historian of Westminster Abbey, is also deserving of attentive consideration. He - expresses a strong opinion, that Westminster Abbey and other religious ' edifices, nand the monuments of national interest which they contain, ought to be freely seen by all classes, with as little impediment and restriction as their safety requires ; and states, in the following an swers, what the advantages to the public would be. 2184. Is it your opinion that the Cathedrals ought to be freely seen by all classes, with as little impedi ment and restriction as their safety requires :?—Cer tainly, it is my opinion that it would be useful in many points. 2185. Will you state to the Committee the ad vantages that occur to you as likely to arise from their being fairly seen ?—That of causing an im proved taste for art, generally, in the public •, also of conveying historical information to those who, from the mere sight of them might be induced to make inquiry as to their origin and intention. Several of the witnesses are of opinion that free admission, under proper regulations, tends to diminish the danger of injury . to monuments and collections; and Mr. Brayley's opinion is clear on that point. 2227. In your visits to the Abbey, have you ob served how far opportunities have been afforded to individuals, admitted as they have been upon the payment of money, and to parties moving about with a guide, if there was any inclination to pilfer any parts of the tombs ?—Certainly, there have been considerable opportunities ; because parties of ten or twelve persons moving from one chapel to another, cannot be overlooked by one, supposing they were disposed to pilfer ; and even the interference of the monuments would conceal them from sight. 2228. Do you think that if a greater number were admitted to see those monuments, there would be better protection by their being overlooked one by another ?—I should think it would be so; still I have not seen any disposition in any part of the public to cause destruction to any part of the monuments. Your Committee are of opinion , that increased at tentioniasttod shodioufilodebse and paid ofto thete prroeysearlvaatoido_nootfhothreeccle- s- monu ments amtained therein ; and,they entertain a hope the Cathedral that arrangements may be made by authoriti4s to allow the larger portions of Westmin ster Abbey an,.AtPauls, and other Cathedrals t h in roz l h , o , u a t n t d h e e countrspeciallyy, o t n o b s e nn o d p a e v n s fr r e e e o ly on to oni t n h g e p su u e b h -- !Rig „ • a rt 4th the due and undisturbed -per_ f omau ce ivpigio' us services, though it may be xv,. SIR, - -7-- . uch was the indignant apostrophe of the " Bard of-Coils?' at the shameful state of destitution in which his brother poet Ferguson had been left by his countrymen. By the simple alteration of the. pronoun in the, last line it is singularly - appli cable to the state of utter destitution in which the sister of the bard is at present unhappily left. The Sun was the first newspaper to announce the melancholy fact that the sister of Robe r t B u rns is still living, at an odvanced age, at the village of Tra nent, in Haddingtogshire ; that she is entirely - , de pendent on her two unoarried daughters, who, though active and respectable yottng women, yet, in spite of all their exertions, are barely able to keep house for themselves and their aged patent—in short, that the sister of Burns has fallen into poverty, the dread of which is the theme of so many of her brother's verses. How frequently does he speak of " That iron. hearted ark, Want, Attended in his grim advances By.ead mistakes and black mischance!." And with what dire forebodings does he look forward to the possibility of such a consummation: One only alleviation of her fate, it appears, has sprung from the fame of her brother, in the shape of the most trifling annual pittance from the Scottish - Exchequer. it wou.d be needless to expatiate on so distvesAng nn appeal, as such woull only be an echo of the send meats you have already expressed ; but it is truly melancholy to think that the last survivor of the 'fa mily of Burns's father should, in her latter days, be suffering from the chill hands of penury, and sus tained chiefly by the exertions of two dutiful children. There is one thing which somewhat surprises me. Three of the poet's sons are still living. The eldest, Robert, resides at Dumfries, and is in the enioyment of a pension ; Major Burns resides in England, and 1. believe is in the receipt of a pension from the East In dia Company.; the third is in the Company's service in some part of India. Could they have been aware of the painful circumstances in which their relative is placed ? and if so, have they at any time endeavoured to alleviate her distress? It is to be hoped they have. However, through Mr.. It Chambers, whose conduct throughout merits the warmest commenda tions, the case has been brought before the public. It gives me great pleasure to add, that since the above notice, Sir Charles S. Monteath, Mr. Carlyle, and the Celebrated vocalist Mr. Wilson, who was among the first to promote so laudable an undertaking, have en gaged to act as a committee to superintend the collec tion and disposal of a fund for the benefit of Mrs. Beg; '(the sister of Burns), and that already some handsome tributes have been paid in, affording ground of hope that a sufficiency will be 'obtained to procure her a small annuity. It is to be hoped that a portion of what has been already collected will be given her to alleviate' her present wants, and that enough will be collected to provide for her future maintenance. Your obedient servant, C. P. J.'. THE BOULO-6-NE CUSTOM-HOUSE The. following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the . Boulogne Gazette of Monday, and with the remarkS' appended to it, will be read with interest by all those who have witnessed the harassing treat ment to which passengers are occasionally 'subjected. Nothing tends more to alienate the two nations. can indeed serve no other purpose : Sir,—l regret exceedingly to observe week after week in the columns of your journal complaints on the part of the Post-office and Custom-house autho rities towards passengers by, and parties connected with, the steam-boats plying to this town, and I, jointly with others residing here, hope your exposures will do good. Smuggling, we know and agree, it is the duty of every Government to pi - event. IV e feel, however, also, that the person is sacred,. and ought not to be touched; it is so in England, why should it not be so here ? "To Boulope, deriving, as it does, its chief pros perity from England, this unwise exercise of power does incredible mischief, and those interested in 'its welfare, ought to do their utmost to stop it. They know as well as we do, that' the pasengers by the steamers to Boulogne are not generally sinttg;iler - s by trade, but individuals in search of pleasure , and it is intlifferent to our pleasure-hnting countrpuen, whether the steamer they embark in takes thew U France, Belgium, Hollatid, or Germany, 1 opine it is but natural they should bend their steps to the nation that it is most civil to them, and if France will hold out no inducement other than that of being Searched, and fleeced, she cannot he surprised if ' Julio Bull' thinks twice before he visits her. " Travellers have, in most countries, certain indul gences, and why should they nut in France ? tra vellers, particularly a real John . Bull, will not leave home without -his letters of introduction, credit, and innumerable articles for his own and family's use, and how disgusted must he feel, when landing here, to find his pockets searched, his letters seized, and the few things he may have for" his domestic use, such as plate, soap, &c., subjected to a heavy tax, amounting, in fact, to a prohibition ! NO, Mr. Editor, this is bad. Nothing. can be more ridiculous, absurd, or short sighted.than trying to prevent John doing this. It is necessary to his comfort, and if France won't indulge him, he will go elsewhere. " In another point of view this rigour does harm, inasmuch 'as it creates in the breast of Englishmen here coldness.to the French, and as nothing is more injurious to friendship than coldness, so nothing can injure the revenue of this country, or encourage the real smuggler, more than the exercise of petty power. Boulonnais, see to this ; your town, for some time past, has.been falling off: try, and, if possible, 'Cog the wheel,' . 'ere it be too late. " Your well wisher, «Q . „ [The letter of "Q" reminds us of a new order issued:by the Customs this week, the inconveniences of which we witnessed, and the curses it occasioned we unfortunately heard. This order 'renders it neces sary tp malf.e a declaration for everything which is shipped, and no article of ship's provision can go on board a steamer without a previous declaration to that effect.: • This order, which was meant to be applied only.:th the persons in the habit of supplying the steamers with provisions, was unfortunately applied also to the passengers, at least for the first days, by the Donaniers, to whom the distinction had not been pointed out. This absurd application of an order, the wisdom and utility of which we have too little or too much good sense to appreciate, has been since put a stop to ; but while it lasted it was a source of much annoyance and murmur. Let us take, for ex ample, the itamsgate Packet. Many come over in it to return next day ; most of these arm themselves with a couple of bottles of brandy. They came late, the boat was on the point of starting, they were told by the Custom louse officer they could not take the brandy with them unless they previously made a de claration; the officer might as well have addressed them in Hebrew ; an interpreter was called, the order explained. We leave our readers to imagine the hlol: and the reply of all thus armed with bottles of brandy. But we noticed that all finished by saying,' " Why they ought to afford us every facility to take their brandy with us, and not throw difficulties in our way !" And we admired the justice of the reniarh. We know not who gave the orders, who are the per sons who control the Customs. or what their object fbr such regulations can be, but tins we know, that, instead of facilitating the commerce or prosperity of the country, they clog energy and enterprise in every possible way. They require forms and entries whieli demand five clerks to every one they now pay; they harass merchants by frivolities; they insist upon mi - nutite which seem to say, we look upon every man as a rogue leagued to rob the State.
