" SIR,—In answer to your inquiry respecting Captain Pidding's Tea, I long used it in London, and hail the introduc tion of it into Plymouth with pleasure, believing it to be more wholesome, and grateful to the debilitated stomach of the dys peptic, than any Tea previously sold in this town.—Your's, &c. ,‘ EDWARD T.

Though Dr. James Johnson, Dr. Sigmond, and more than a hundred other medical men, have, in their writings, borne tes timony to the superior quality and wholesomeness of Captain Pidding's Tea, Dr. RoP's letter is here given, from the clear manner in which it points out the benefit, that those who suffer from Dyspepsia, Indigestion, a weak or debilitated sto mach, would derive from the use of Captain Pidding's Mixed Black Tea. But, independent of the superior quality, which it is admitted on all sides, Captain Pidding's Teas possess, they are, from their strength, found to be cheaper than even the lowest priced Teas.

Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ande severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and edematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ande to the leg, thigh, back, and to the Having ex hausted every resource of relief which I and a m nns. medical friends i n the country could suggest, to no Y o e I set out for London with the intention of con sultings Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt see p , bling By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied . his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, 1 had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, ant 1 1 am ing. now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in th e county of Sta ff ord, I know of no medicinal compound poss essin g such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Leaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincerc i desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as 1 ever did, the strong est prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, Lhould be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, 1 know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.

Her Serene Highness the Princess of Lichtenstein has forwarded to the Royal Belgrave Lying-in In stitution a handsome donation, with permission toplace her name with the patronesses of the Charity. The Dowager Countess of Westmoreland has sent a second liberal subscription ; the Earl of Liverpool and Lady Mayoress Pirie have also lately become contributors to its funds. This institution commenced in 18:_): under the especial patronage of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and was then confined to the out-ward of the parish of St. George,lbut from its suc cess, its operations have since been extended to the eight west-end parishes, and upwards of 300 poor married women are now annually attended gratui tously in their accouchement. Counsellor Lamb, an old man when Lord Erskine was in the height of his reputation, who was of timid mariners and nervous disposition, usually prefaced his pleadings with an apology to that effect ; and on one occasion, when opposed in some cause to Erskine, he happened to remark that " he felt himself growing more and more timid as he grew older." "No won der," replied the witty but relentless barrister, " every one knows the older a lamb grows the more sheepish he becomes." DEATII OF R. TIIICKNESSE, ESQ.—The death of this much respected gentleman took place on Tuesday evening at his residence, Beech Hill, near Wigan. It is rather singular, that three gentlemen who have contested and represented the borough of Wigan should cease to exist in the same year, but so it is ; Mr. Richard Potter, of Manchester, was the first to pay the debt of nature, then followed Mr. J. H. Kears ley, whose death we recorded a few weeks ago, and lastly, the lamented gentleman whose death we have the pain to announce. s. d. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TJSE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Times denounces the tactics of the party in Opposition as flagrantly dishonest, for re presenting repeal of the Corn -laws as " a panacea for all the evils incident to a densely-peopled country." This alleged dishonesty it compares with the former alleged dishonesty of the same party, as having re presented Reform as a like panecca in times past. That the Whigs did put forth Parliamentary Reform as a necessary measure twelve years back, is un deniable. That they do put forth Corn-law Reform as now necessary, is equally so. The question of honesty or dishonesty must depend on whether those measures were and are necessary or no. To pretend that a party with whose general principles such or such measures are conformable, is not to cultivate the popularity which the state of the times may attach to those mea sures, for fear of becoming pewerful enough to compel their opponents to pass them, or let them pass—is simply . to pronounce that only one party sho uld exist m the State ; and that the party which writ es on its banner resistance to popular measures. Popular measures may be right or wrong ; b ut the rule would be highly convenient for Conserva tism, if the mere fact that certain great measures are susceptible of becoming popular ones, were to debar an Opposition from espousing, and making them its watchword. The whole question, as we have said already, is—whether the measures _are right or wrong. It must be evident that the Conservative party, so far as it merits its title, will avoid the reproach of laying itself out for popularity in its measures. Its constituents are the great classes of the country who desire to keep things as they are ; and its function is, to act as a drag on the wheels of political movement. We are far from saying that this function is one which no party should per form. We are far from saying that the principle of movement—of innovation—should constantly main tain the ascendant, or can do so in this country, with out faster and further changes than the chiefs of either party would promote, supposing them adverse to entire social and political revolution with all its chances. It is needless to say that, so long as aris tocracy, whether Whig or Tory, supplies chiefs to political parties, they must be adverse to such a re volution. Thus, then, the chiefs of the section of public men professing the more popular principles, will, ever and anon, subject themselves to the reproach opposite to that above mentioned. They will be re proached with shirking, not with seeking, the popu larity attached to such or such measures. Here, as before, the whole question is, Are such or such mea sures right or wrong? It is idle to abuse any party, for that which is a necessity of its nature. It is idle, for instance, to abuse the Conservatives (except in the way of business) for being Conservatives —for being the party of resistance to popular innovations. It is not less idle to abuse the Whigs for being the party which leans towards innovations —a leaning necessarily limited by what is aristocratical in its composition. STANDARD.—The present state of the civilised world requires, that if Great Britain is to maintain her position, she must bestow more attention and mere favour upon the colonial trade than it has yet received at her hands. Twenty-seven years of peace have had the necessary effect of accumulating capital and augmenting population in all reasonably well governed nations. Redundant capital (we mean redundant as to the existing means of employing it) and an augmented population suggest new depart ments of industry. These can be g enerall y found only in manufactures ; hence the manufacturin g spirit that we see extending in Europe and in the United States—slowly, indeed, atpresent, but not less certainly. For many years to come our own industry our Corn-laws, to happened in Eng need not fear the effect of this rivalship, unless we shall be mad enough, by repealing t h r i a it ns v f , e e r m a u fl s o t o e d xp o e f e c t a t p h ita nt l wanhdattohsatsimulate population ; land will happen sooner or later elsewhere, and that the time will arrive when Great Britain shall be de pendent for the employment of her wealth and people upon her maritime commerce and her colonial markets ; and the present is the time to prepare for such a state of things. At present, however, the colonists and other dependents of the British empire are not rich enough to purchase ; if they were, the trade of Continental Europe and of the United States would not be worth a moment's thought. It is the business of the Government and Legislature to make the colonists rich. A very early, if not an immediate, change may be effected in this respect by wise measures ; and to say truth, the United States, and most of the European States, seem inclined to force us to such measures. But whether the enrichment of the colonies be early or late, time is not to be counted in the duration, of an empire as in " the roue_ -glass duty p r of one man's life." It is our t posterity, as our fathers have provided for us ; and ide for we have the higher motive to perpetuate the power and influence of a nation which Heaven manifestly seems to have selected as the ark of rational liberty and of religious truth. Our attention has been di rected to the subject of these remarks by two articles, very different, indeed, in their spirit and in the degree of talent which they display, but both bearing upon the colonial trade. The first of the articles in question appears in a Whig-Radical Evening Journal, in the form of an attack upon the arrangement for the admission of corn fr om Ca nada, viz., upon th e p a y ment of a duty of 3s. the quarter of wheat, and sic de cwt. — (prov ided that the Canada Legislatur e sha ll impose a duty of ss. the quarter upon all wheat imported from the United Slates). Th is our Whi_Radical Contempo rary treats as a departure from the principle of the Corn-laws, and an unjustifiable surrender of revenue to the colonists. As regards the surrender of revenue to the colonists we need say little. Even were our Corn-laws designed for the purposes of revenue—pur poses surrender of emphatica ll y disclaimed b y every one of her Ma-. 1 i t n h i s a t t no —w suche e r.s think we have said re venuew to a struggling co l ony can he too libera l. With regard to the a lle ge d violation of the prin ieensot y u ' g s h present to sho prin ciple of the Corn-laws, it is a manifest absurdity. The principle of the Corn-laws is a principle of pro tection from ruinously low prices, produced by the com p e tition of foreign ; gra-n ; and if the farmer has this protection, it must be to him a matter of indiffer ence how it is obtained—whether the rival is excluded by a protecting duty, by the cost of land transit and freight, or by any other cause. Now, the corn im ported from Cana da, if it come fro m the United States, must pay a duty of Bs. the quarter plus the cost of transit across the colony to a British port. and the freight across the Atlantic. And what is still more important, it must come from a district where, gene rally, prices are within a few shillings as high as they are in England, and where they are sometimes higher. The arrangement, therefore, really threatens no danger ' from the United States corn via, Canada. To the colony, however, such an arrangement is all important. Canada sometimes imports corn from the United States, but much more frequently exports to the States. To seal the frontier against her would be to destroy the most valuable branch of the industry of the rising province : but Canada also exports to England. With out some arrangement such as has been made, how ever, the freedom of the States frontier and the export trade of England would in effect open that road for United States corn to the British market, which is pretended to be open with a duty of Bs. A graduated sca l e, though practicable enough at home, could not possibly be applied to Canada. The only thing that could be done is what has been done. IVithout this we must either close the trade between Canada and the States, or deprive Canada of the a dvantage of the ex p or t t ra de to England, either of w hich privations would ruin the colony. So much for the Whig , 7ladical's complaint. '2, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. MONEY 111ARKET and CITY NEWS. POST.—Advertisements are put forth by the Chi lian and Spanish Governments. That of the former refers to the proposed issues of new Six p er C en t . a nd new Three per Cent. Bonds . That of the la tter , w ith the signature of Senor Botr a j o attached t o it , refers consolidation to t i'el however, be observed to Senor Borra j o, that the (ividen of f s } a , c i c v r e ue p d er and accruing upon the late Coupons. It must, scrupulous adherence to the very letter of the law, and of the public notices of the Financial Commis sion, which is impressed as so,essential on the part of the holders of the said coupons, forfeiture itself being threatened as the penalty of neglect, but ill accords with the example set by the Spanish Government in the breach of almost the whole of its engagements. Payment of another dividend on the N ew Three per Cent. Stock is, if not actually announced, vaguely hinted at as probable ; and it is hoped that disap pointment may not follow, as in other instances. The Treasury bondholders are still left out of view. They now enter on the seventh year occurring since the issue of their securities, and the Spanish Env bassy and Financial Commission, act as though they conceived the poor dupes could exist on the satisfac tion derivable from a perusal only of their_pompously- worded bonds—bonds at one time highly prized in London and of great value, owing to public notices o payment having appeared. The pledges contained in those notices have never been fulfilled, and it now creates no small disgust to find the Spanish authori ties preaching in the journals of the indispensable ne cessity of attention the most rigid being paid to ad vertisements on a like subject emanating from the same source. The quotation of the New Three pet Cent. Spanish Stock is positively prohibited in the French and Dutch markets. Why, then, it is asked, should all this severity of rule and discipline be ex ercised towards the English bondholders, who art notoriously the most grievous of all sufferers from the duplicity of Spain, and with the fact before us that up to the present time the Five per Cent. stocks are still quoted at Madrid, with all the coupons attached to them, from which it is to be inferred that the prin ciple of exclusion is partially exercised to their pre judice. TIMES.—As many letters are constantly addressed to us from the holders of those Bonds of the United States Bank that commonly, though improperly, have the name of " Denison's loan," it may be as well to inform the writers more particularly than has yet been done, that far from their interests having been neg lected by Messrs. Overend and Gurney, we are as sured on good authority that firm was unremitting, in applications to the Bank. As soon as the pay ment of the dividends ceased, in the early part of this year, they addressed a letter to the President of the " United States Bank," setting forth their own position as particularly bound to advocate the interests of the bondholders. To this letter they I received no answer, and it was not till another had been sent, that the President of the " United States Bank" thought fit to reply. They were then in formed that the property of the bank hai been as signed to trustees for the benefit of domestic credi tors, and that the reason why this preference had been shown to those over the creditors in Europe was, that the latter were considered to be sufficiently pro tected by the bonds deposited as security—that is, by the doubtful bonds of Pennsylvania and the trash of Mississippi and Michigan. The only portion of dividend that has been received immediately on the guarantees of the States themselves has been from Pennsylvania this year, and this was appropriated to satisfy part of the arrears due on the bank bonds in April. As for the hopes of the bondholders, now that Pennsylvania has ceased paying her dividends, they are in a desperate condition indeed. A mercantile correspondent calls attention to a fact which is probably pretty generally known in com mercial circles, but which many of the humbler classes who correspond with friends in America, and to whom it is of much importance, have yet to learn. This is, that according to the postage regulations of the United States, a letter enclosed in an envelope is charged as a double letter. CHRONICLE.—The want of a moderate fixed duty on foreign corn forms the chief obstacle to the completion of a commercial treaty between Spain and Great Britain. It is well known that if the raw produce of the Spanish soil were admitted into Eng lish ports under a fixed import duty, the Spanish Cabinet would receive immense support in the ap proaching meeting of Cortes, in their wishes to admit British cottons into the ports of Spain under an ad valorem duty of about 25 per cent. The proposal of substituting a duty of 40 per cent. in lieu of the pre sent prohibition, would be of no use. It would not suppress smuggling, and would, therefore, be of little or no advantage to the Spanish treasury. But with a duty of 25 per cent. the contraband trade would be stopped, and the custom duties of Spain would be increased to an extent that would soon enable the Madrid Cabinet to restore the credit of their country, and to do something great and permanent for the advantage of the English bondholders. A new market would be opened up at the same time for British manufactures, by the demand that would arise to supply a population which cannot be estimated at much under 12,000,000 of souls, and thus a recipro cal and permanent benefit would be conferred on both nations. IRELAND. POST-OFFICE COMMUNICATION. The people of Cork have for some time been com plaining, with good ground, of the slowness of com munication between that great trading city and Dublin. This defect, it appears, is owing to a lower rate of mileage being paid by Government for Cork than is allowed for Belfast, Limerick, or Waterford, all places of ihferior importance to the former. This strange anomaly, it will be seen, from the following reply of the Premier to Mr. F. Murphy, one of the Members for Cork, is not likely to be rectified at present, the state of the Irish Post-office revenue pre cluding the possibility of any new arrangement. " Whitehall, lov. 5. " Sir,--I beg your pardon for having allowed so long an interval to elapse without the acknowleagment of a letter which you addressed to me some time since on the subject of the Post-office communication be tween Dublin and Cork. _ _ "The cause of the delay was my wish to communi. cate personally with the Postmaster-General upon it. "I have this day seen Lord Lowther, and have in quired into the facts of the case. An official report upon them will very shortly be made by him to the Treasury, a copy of which will be forwarded to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. "With every wish on my part to increase the fa cility of Post-office communication in Ireland, and to consult the convenience of a trading community so respectable and important as that of the city of Cork, I cannot, I fear, encourage the expectation, in the present state of the Post-office net revenue in Ireland, that the suggestions conveyed in your letter can be adopted.—l have the honour, &c., "F. S. Murphy, Esq. "ROBERT PEEL." STORM.—This city was visited last night with one of the most tremendous gales that has blown since the memorable 6th of January, 1839. It commenced about eleven o'clock, and increased in violence, hour by hour, till about four in the morning, at which time it was at its greatest height. The clatter of falling slates and bricks, intermingled with the storm, was absolutely deafening, and it was not until between eight and nine o'clock that the wind in any degree abated ; but during the rest of the forenoon it con tinued to blow very fresh. The river was greatly swollen, the waters having risen to an unusual height. In the afternoon there was a heavy fall of rain. The London mail was several hours overdue, it not having reached the Post-office until two o'clock. LATE AFFAIR or HONOUR.—Ensign Verner, of the 47th Regiment, in a letter to the Mayo paper, denies that Lord Lucan was dissatisfied with his (Mr. Ver ner's) first note, and that his Lordship demanded an other. The first letter, it appears, was perfectly sa tisfactory to Lord Lucan. LORD BLAYNEY.—The neighbourhood in which this nobleman's residence in the county of Monaghan is situated has, for several days past, presented nume rous instances of deepfelt sorrow in consequence of the precarious state of his Lordship's health. In the town of Castleblayney the inhabitants have had daily meetings, attended by persons of every creed, uniting in devout prayer to the Ruler of all tnings for the restoration of health to this highly-esteemed, and by his tenantry beloved, nobleman. At the church and at the Roman Catholic chapel of that town a similar course was pursued by the congregations in attend ance on Sunday last. The authentic accounts which reached town this morning of the state of his Lord ship's health were of a somewhat more favourable nature, and the symptoms of his complaint were con sidered (in any change that had taken place from the day previous) less formidable.—Erening .3fail of Wednesday. MARRIED WOMEN IN PARIS.—The following sta tistic of the ages of the 121,525 women married in Paris in the course of the last 18 years is given by one of the French journals as having been verified by the registers of the Etat Civil. Between 12 and 15 years old there were 814—at 16 years 1,920—at 17 years 3,959 —at 18 years 5,816—at 19 years 6,957 — at 20 years 7,610 —at 21 years 8,047—at 22 or 23 between 7,000 and B,ooo—at 24 or 25 upwards of 6,000 —but at 26, 27, and 28 they scarcely exceed 5,000. This decreasing progression goes on, so that up to 31 years there were only 3,6sl—thence to 41 years 1,798 —at 42 years I,ols—at 48 years 586—at 56 years 226—at 60 years 126, and during the 18 years there were 578 marriages of women aged 61 years and upwards. Another account shows that out of 1,000,000 mar remarried Paris 521,653, being more than one-half, we before the commencement of their 26th year. ACCIDENT TO LORD JAMES BUTLER.—On Mon eay evening last, on his return from Wellbrook, tl e residence of the Rev. Luke Fowler, where he dined, Lord James Butler was precipitated with violence from his gig, which he was driving tandem, the leader we understan d having fallen at Talbot's Inch, in the liberties of this city. We are happy to say his Lordship did not receive much injury ; but his servant is seriously, though We hope, not dangerously hurt. — ' Kilkenny Journal, PUBLIC RECORDS. About three or four years ago, the condition of the incient records of the kingdom excited a painful in cerest in the public mind. It at that time appeared that not only had the great bulk of the records been much injured by being kept in damp and ill venti .ated vaults and rooms, but that many, valuable on account of their antiquarian and historical character, bad surreptitiously got into general circulation, and were to be found in several booksellers' shops in the metropolis. It is worthy of remark that the injuries which the records sustained from the wretched places in which iley were deposited attracted notice as far back as the middle of the sixteenth century. Between 1565 and 1571 the Judges of the Common Pleas and the Barons of the Exchequer presented a petition to the Lord 'Treasurer and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, stating that the records of the Common Pleas, depo sited in the " Treasury House," had of " long time" received great detriment from the " lowness and dankishness of the Treasury House," the same being also oftenti - nes surrounded and overflown by the Thames at spring -tide, and in like manner " by means of rain descending through the, gutters, roofs, and doors." What measures were adopted, in consequence of this petition, it does not appear; and if any repairs were made, still no effectual means were taken for preventing a recurrence of the mischief. The more recent exposure of the evil has, as already intimated, been attended with a happier result. A portion of the buildings at present in the course of erection for the accommodation of the two Houses of Parliament will, when completed, be used as a general depository for the reception and safe custody of the public re cords, pursuant to the authority contained in the Act of the 2d of Victoria. In a Report, dated the 6th of July, 1840, Mr. Barry, the architect, states that he considers that the space which may be appropriated in the new building for the reception of recurds, with out occasioning inconvenience to the establishment, or any alteration of the design of the exterior of the building, includes the whole of the Victoria Tower,' a portion of the south front adjoining the Royal ves tibule, portiens above and below this vestibule, and over the Royal staircase, together with the whole of the basement story between the wings of the river front. Mr. Barry then, after entering into further details, proceeds to state that, " the whole of the ac commodation for records, as well as the offices, work rooms, and rooms for resident officers of the Record establishment, would be perfectly fire-proof, entirely independent of the offices and other accommodation of the Houses of Parliament, capable of being thoroughly lighted, and warmed, mid ventilated, and ccnvenient both as to external and internal access. The first-class records may be (as Mr. Barry considers) conveniently arranged in the several stories of the tower, where they will be effectually separated from the rest of the Record establishment, and thereby admit of being placed completely under the control of the superior officer of the Record establishment; and as no other materials will be employed in the construction of the tower than brick, stone, iron, and slate, there would not be the slightest risk of the destruction of the records by fire. The second-class records would, for the same reason, be equally safe, and as completely under the control of the superior officer as those of the first-class." In the meantime the records have been removed from the damp holes, in which they were rotting, to other places, fitted for their temporary reception, where, under the inspection of competent persons, they are being repaired and classified, so as to admit of easy reference. The second Re p ort of the Deputy keeper of Public Records supplies some interesting particulars upon this subject. As the Tower already contained the papers of the Court of Admiralty for various periods, from 1542 to 1828, this repository was considered the most proper place of deposit for the papers of the late Navy Board, and a large portion of them has, accordingly, been removed to a safe and convenient space in the White Tower, ,formerly used as Flamstead's observatory. The documents thus removed, consist of two classes, namely, books and correspondence and miscellaneous papers. The first include 207 volumes called Letter Books. The second class consist of : Several thousand volumes of original letters, dis patches, surveys, warrants, and petitions, from the year 1642 to the year 1794. These papers, especially the earlier portions of them, are of great historical value, containing the most important and authentic materials for the history of the Royal Navy. Nine large chests of letters from the Treasury, Secretaries of State, Board of Ordnance, Admiralty, Navy Board, War-office, Commander-in-Chief's of fice, Horse Guards, and Victualling-office, from 1794 to 1818. Five large chests filled with miscellaneous letters, from 1794 to 1818. An arrangement is in progress for removing into the Tower a further portion of the naval documents remaining in Deptford dockyard. An inventory has been made by the senior assistant keeper of the records deposited in the Wakefield tower, which consist of the various rolls, such as the Parliament rolls, the rolls of pleas in Parliament, the Coronation rolls. These documents extend from the 30th of Henry to the 16th of Edward IV., and amount to about 2,855 rolls, containing about 64,182 membranes, schedules, and pieces. The inventory contains the dates and titles of the records, and full particulars of their state and condition, pointing out what repairs are needful ; thus constituting not only an inventory by which searches and inspections will be facilitated, but also a survey of the records. Inventories are in progress of the privy seals, pri vate deeds, papal bulls, and other records, also in the Wakefield tower, and portions of the inquisitions post riortem and other escheats have been re-arranged. The last mentioned documents, namely, the inquisi tions, are of great value, and frequently consulted. They are arranged between the blank leaves of books prepared for the purpose, and may be consulted with case. In the office of the Rolls Chapel are contained the portions of the Chancery records, most frequently consulted for practical purposes, of which the majority in bulk are in the English language, and these are cons tantly increasing. There are deposited the charter and patent rolls, containing all grants of lands, offices, dignities, and corporate and other privileges, from the reign of Richard the Third ; the close rolls from the same reign, upon which are enrolled bargains, sales, and other conveyances of lands between private indi viduals ; specification rolls, upon which, as their name imports, the specifications of inventors are enrolled; memorials of life annuities, enrolments of statutes, and other classes of records all transmitted to the Rolls from the Chancery Enrolment-office, the Six Clerks'-office, the Petty Bag-office, and the Parlia ment-office. The largest mass of records deposited in the Carl ton House Ride consist of plea, issue, and judgment rolls, and rolls of pleas of land, beginning with Henry VIII. They contain not merely the pleadings between the parties, but also the final judgment of the Court. These rolls, sometimes called the " Common Rolls," besides the value appertaining to all the re -1 cords of the principal Courts of Law, are peculiarly important from the evidence which they include re lating to real property. Th e se documents were origi nally placed in the ancient treasury of the Common Pleas, annexed to Westminster Hall, from whence, when the building containing the Treasury was pulled down, they were removed in 1831 to the King's Mews, and upon the demolition of that building, also, they were removed to Carlton Ride. Upon examina tion it was found that 304 of these rolls were in various stages of decay. Some of them are in a state of rapid decomposition, which can only be stopped by cutting off the decaying portions others are attacked by a species of dry rot, which causes the membranes to crumble into fragments when they are touched, so that it is hardly possible to consult a roll in this state without losing a portion of the record. These injuries, which partly date from a remote period, appea r to have been occasioned, to a considerable extent, by the action of water. It appears from memoranda preserved in the office, that in 1735 the Thames rose so high as to flood the dark corner of the Treasury in which the rolls of the reign of Elizabeth were deposited. Another flood took place in 1795, which also did much damage, and it seems probable, from the appearance of the rolls, not only that other inundations took place, but that damp was admitted into the Treasury from above. In those rolls which are falling into fragments the repair is an operation of great delicacy, requiring each membrane to be inserted between tracing pap er , an operation which will occupy an experienced workman for two or three hours in covering a single membrane. Other s require mending and stitching, and, with the exception of the rolls later than the reign of James 11. (which are in covers sufficiently strong and sound), need leathern covers for the purpose of preserving them f r om dust and injury. Connected with the issue and plea rolls of the Court are the documents called the "Domgett Rolls," or Doggett of issue and judgment rolls. These rolls contain brief notices of t e nature of the action, and the names of the parties, to which is added the number of the roll, and, in the absence of more perfect calen dars, they are the keys to ;the records, and the best means of reference to their contents. These rolls, which extend from the reign of Henry VIII., have been ticketed ar 1 arranged in boxes, and are acces sible without difficulty. The assistant-keeper of the Exchequer records in the Augmentation-office, the Rev. Joseph Hunter, has made an inventory of the records, upon which he has operated, and which belong to a class most frequently consulted, namely, the subsidy rolls, and the rolls of tillages, cavercages, scutages, and aids, from the reign of Henry IV. to the close of the reign of-Philip and Mary. These records of taxation are an essential ad junct to the proceedings of Parliament ; and besides their application to the history of political events, and of the progress of the Constitution, they are made up of statistical facts of the highest importance. They afford accurate data for calculating the amount of the population, as well as the value of the land and capital of England, and, taken in connection with Domesday Book, the great rolls of the Exchequer, and some certain classes of the miscellaneous records, would enable any competent inquirer to carry out the history of the national wealth (as far as the befere mentioned elements are concerned) from the era of the Conquest, with a degree of completeness and ac curacy which could not be attained with respect to any other community in Christendom. The skill and industry exhibited by Mr. Black, the assistant•keeper of the Pell records, &c., in the office of the Comptroller of the Exchequer, are particularly noticed in the report. It appears that when Mr. Black first commenced his employment, he found the books, rolls, bundles, and loose parchments and papers (which had een brought from the vaults in Somerset-house), lying in heaps upon the floors of the rooms, and piled in some places almost up to the ceiling. The first operation performed was the arrangement and description of Papal bulls, correspondence, ex, tracts from dispatches, and other documents of State, which had been selected by the chief clerk of the Comptrollef, and the contents of which were desired to be known by the Commissioners on State Papers. Brief chronological catalogues - were made of these papers, which have .been enlarged by later discoveries , and they now display a very valuable series of original Papal briefs and imperial and Venetian ducal letters, from 1513 to 1527, all in vellum; and original cor respondence with Cardinal Wolsey, and other State papers, from 1513 to 1529, amounting altogether to 161 documents. The nature of these documents will appear. from the description given of them in the catalogue. We take the first five in the order of their dates : " From Pope Leo X. to King Henry VIII. ex plaining the Pope's motives for restoring two cardi nals, 27 June, 1513. " From the same to the same, recommending the Pope's relative, Raphael de Medicis, a Florentine merchant, to the King's favour as a discreet and trusty person, 10 September, 1513. "From the same to the same, in favour of the Pope's Nuncio, Balthasar, on his way to Scotland, '2O Sep tember, 1513. " From the same to the same, about negotiations with the Emperor, 19 December, 1513. " From the same to the same, in answer to his re quests for an indulgence to the Church of Durham, and for a favour to Thomas (Wolsey) Lord Almoner, 7 February, 1514." The masses of books, papers, and parchments were found by the assistant-keeper in the utmost confusion and dirt, in the same state as when they were taken out of the boxes and sacks brought from the vault. The books have required much of the attention of the assistant-keeper. They consist of two classes; the first of which, the Pell books, are of great value, and help to fill up or complete some of the series of Pell books which were heretofore brought from Westmin ter Hall to Whitehall-yard. These include the de clarations of accounts made by the under-treasurers, together with the books of the household and wardrobe. A second class of books are those of the auditor of the receipt of the Exchequer, and amongst them are many others, such as patent-books, crown-lease books, and others relating to the territorial possessions of the Crown, :as° forming part of the auditor's records, or of those of the Clerk of the Pells. Mr. Black has prepared catalogues of the Pell books, and auditor's books, which are executed with great care, and will be the means of bringing into notice a very important class of documents hithertoconcealed from public view. OPENING OF MONTROSE MUSEUM. (Abridged from the Montrose Review.) On Thursday evening, the 27th ult., the members of the Montrose Natural History and Antiquarian So ciety, and other gentlemen, met in the new Museum, to celebrate the birth-day of their munificent patron and noble President, Lord Panmure, and also the open ing of the new building to the public. The party sat down at six to a rich dessert, Provost Sim in the chair, supported by Sir James Duke ; Patrick Arklev, Esq., of Dunninald ; - William Smart, Esq., of Cairn bank ; John Duke, Esq., surgeon, P.N.; and other influential gentlemen of the town ; John Barclay, Esq., Treasurer, and William Beattie, Esq., Secretary, croupiers. We have not witnessed such a party in Montrose since the dinner given to our ever-to-be , lamented townsman, Sir A. Burnes. After the usual loyal toasts, Provost 'Sim proposed the toast of the evening. He stated the great obligations under which Lord Panmure had laid the Society, and the deep interest he had ever taken in raising the Institution to its present flourishing condition. It was well known that his Lordship's motto was, " Live and let live ;" and it was unquestionable that his Lordship's con duct was in perfect consistency with his motto. His Lordship's tenants would one and all bear testimony to his liberality as a landlord. It was not, however, as a landlord that his Lordship was to be regarded that evening; he was also a distinguished benefactor to objects of public ornament and utility ; and per haps it was not too much to say, that never was there a nobleman more ready to give encouragement to the arts and sciences. The toast was received with enthu siasm, and three cheers more were called for and re sponded to in the good old Scotch way. Provost Sim next proposed " Success to the Natural History and Antiquarian Society." He had also to congratulate the Society on the prospects they now had of rendering their museum what it always was intended to be—not a mere fashionable lounge or place of resort for the gratification of idle curiosity—but a school s cordially e where ample opportunities were afforded for the p ro slet is cution nee o d f le tl s i s e t ‘ o 'a l o y us th b a r t an t e h h i e s t s o o f a nta Nt‘uas ral scn ce. pledged. The memory of Sir Alexander Burnes was given by Mr. ARKLE`:, and drank in solemn silence. Mr ADAM Bu - in RNES, a few appropriate words, returna thanks. The CHAIRMAN then rose, and, in his best style proposed " The health of Lady Panmure, who had always taken a warm interest in the success of the Institution, and who was a large contributor to the exhibition." After the thunders of applause which succeeded this toast had ceased, another round was cordially given in honour of her Ladyship. The next toast was " Sir James Duke, a native of Montrose, who has done honour to his birthplace. - Sir James replied in a speech rep lete with good feel ing, acknowledging the warm and affectionate manner in which his health had been drank. In compliment ing the. Magistrates and Council on the numerous im provements that had taken place t in. t wa rm and du r in g he town during the last few years, he expressed he livel interest he felt and should ever feel. in everything which promised to promote thewsrsperity of his na tive place, and the great Kappi it would afford him at all times to forward any object that could be con ducive to the interests of Montrose. After some al lusion to the Angus. Club, Sir James took occasion to m ention the high opinion he entertained of the system of education in Scotland, and more particularly his own great obligations to the educational institutions in Montrose, to which he was chiefly indebted for the rank which he now held. Sir James concluded a long and eloquent s p eech, which was listened to with marked attention, by requesting that he might be en rolled as a member of the Natural Ilistory and Anti quarian Society, and his name placed on the list as a subscriber to the building fund for 10/. Mr. JAMES CALVERT proposed " The health of Provost Burnes, one of the oldest i, members, and first Vice-President of the Societ Mr. ADAM BURNES acknowledged 3r. the toast. The SECRETARY then proposed " The heath of Mrs. Sim and the ladies of i with all the honours ; andont Montrose" e," r o w which was to dedicate a bumper to the " L a dy Members,' which proposal was received with loud cheering, and the toast was drank with unbounded applause. The TREASURER proposed " The health of Alex ander Renny Tailyour, Esq., of Bprrowfield—a gen tleman who was a warm friend of the Institution, but Iwho had that night been prevented by the state of i the weather from being prese nt (which in a letter to the Secretary, he deeply regretted). The toast was received, as Mr. Tailyour's health will always be re ceived in Montrose, with marked applause. Many other toasts were given during the evening, which we regret our limits prevent us from enumerat ing. The party did not break up till a late hour. ATTEMPTED DROWNING. About half-past five on Wednesday evening, " Boat" was called ° : 0 1 : k the sides of the Serpentine river. Mr. Hembrey, the park - keep er, assisted b y his ne p hew, immediately took a boat and proceeded to the spot, and succeeded in rescuing a young woman, twenty years of age. She had sunk for the last time, and when taken out of the water was apparently lifeless ; but the usual restora tives being applied at the receiving-house, she gradu ally recovered, and was shortly removed to her home, at Maulebone-lane. her name is Anna Clements.
