" Twenty-two processes have been served upon the tenants of Lord Grantley for obsolete tythe claims, made by the Dean and Chapter of Ripon, in the small town of Grantley. We have been informed that, amongst other claims, is one set up for a tythe of milk ! Several poor persons had as much as five shillings demanded from them for this tythe, and the affair has created such a sensation at Ripon, that the very walls are chalked with Take the Dean milk !' The Dean wants milk ! r--York Courant. " The Dean wants milk." He cloth (and how He gets it he is mindless) But more than milk of parish cow, The milk of human kindness. " The Dean wants milk." Superfluous cry ! lie's milked so long and fast, The poor old parish cow is dry, He's milked her out at last. " The Dean wants milk." Oh specious phrase To hoodwink John Bull's caution, And serve, a thousand various ways, As pretext for extortion! When Althorp next essays to lay Fresh tax on wool or silk, In Ripon's happy phrase he'll say, No doubt, " The Dean wants milk." Lawyers, " The Dean wants milk" will cry (They're thirsty souls, you know,) Then straight proceed to drain you dry As Ripon's parish cow. Physicians too, I can foresee, Will thus their patients bilk, For what phrase sounds so harsh as " fee," Or what so soft as " milk ?" Thus too sly Dan in accents meek, Will ask—not Erin's wealth, But—just one draught of milk per week To keep him in good health Then, oh John Bull, your cow secure, (Like Andrew of that Ilk)* Or some dry Dean or Dan, be sure, Will swallow all your milk. • Vide Galt's Memoirs of that keen worldly, quick-witted Scotchman ..

Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambassador, Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, Prince TALLEY RA ND, Baron 13utovv, the Prussian Minister, and the Baron de WESSENBURG, the Austrian (specid) Minister, had an interview with Viscount PALMERSTON yesterday, at the Foreign Office. Prince TA LLEYRAND was accom panied by one of his Secretaries. The Spanish Minister, the two Belgic Plenipotentiaries, M. Van de WEYER and General GOBLET, and the Murquis de FUNCHAL, visited Viscount PALMERSTON yesterday afternoon, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Despatches were sent off last evening, from the Colo nial Of f ice, for the Eirl of MuLcitavE, the Governor of Jamaica, and the other Governors of the West India _ . . Islands. The Hanse Towns Minister transacted business yester• day, at the Foreign Office. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 23. The fashionable promenades now exhibit a very gay and animated appearance, in consequence of the hourly arrival of the people of fashion. Among the most distinguished visitants are—The Marquis and Marchioness Conyngham, Earl and Countess of Ormelie, Lady Brougham and daughters, Lord and Lady Lyndhurst, and the Hon. Misses Copley, Lord and Lady George Seymour, Countess Dowager of Roches, and Lady M. Leslie, Lord and Lady G. Lennox, Earl and Countess of Munster, Lord and Lady Henley, Major-Gene ral Ellice, Colonel and Mrs. Wyndham, Lord Northwick, &c. Westcliff House is engaged for Sir Francis and Lady Burdett and family, who are now at Tunbridge Wells. There was a very large attendance of the beau monde yesterday afternoon, on the Old Steyne, to hear the per formances of the fine band of the Ist Dragoon Guards, who played from four to six, by permission of Colonel Sir George Teesdale. Among the most elegant equipages on the Marine drives is that of Miss Wykeham, the Oxfordshire heiress, who arrived on Thursday, for the season, from her seat, Thame Park. The officers of the Ist Dragoon Guards patronised the bens fit of Mr. and Mrs. Yates, on Saturday evening. The entertainments were Don Quixotte ; London Love, or Twenty Thousand Pounds ; and Cupid. Mr. Yates enacted the character of Mr. John Reeve in the last mentioned piece. The house was well filled. An archery fete took place to-day at the Gardens on the Lewes road, and was fashionably attended. The band of the King's Dragoon Guards was stationed on the grounds. Preparations continue to be made at the Pavilion for the approaching arrival of their Majesties. Sir Andrew Barnard, Clerk Marshal, is shortly expected to make the usual arrangements for their immediate reception. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

The Emperor of Russia gave to the Duke, when he was at Schwedt, the Order of St. Andrew. Her Grace the Duchess of BEDFORD has, we regret to hear, met with an accident, at her residence at Rothitnurchus. A dog which her Grace was caressing, suddenly sprung up, and lacerated ber forehead consider ably, tearing off part of the skin and one of the eyebrows. Inverness Courier. Lady Mary Fox has arrived on a visit to her sister, the Countess of Errol. Lord Errol has recently occupied himself in drawing out plans for the reconstruc tion of the ancient chapel at Slains Castle, his Lordship's patrimonial seat in Aberdeenshire, where schoolhouses are also about to be established by the direction of the Earl. The King of Prussia's now ascertained back wardness in joining the Un-holy Alliance, may account for the marked manner in which his health is said to have been toasted and received at a late royal banquet. Lord Francis Leveson Gower, with a fortune of 100,000/. a year, is receiving half pay as an Ensign in the army ; and John B. Scriven, Esq., a wealthy member of the Irish bar, and King's Counsel, is also on the half. pay list as Lieutenant.—Limerick Chronicle. The Honourable Captain Elliott, Secretary to the Admiralty, arrived at Newcastle, last Wednesday morning, in the Comet, Government steamer. The Honourable Secretary's visit to the north, we understand, is undertaken for the purpose of inquiring into the alleged misconduct of the Mermaid revenue cutter, as regards the Ardincaple steam-boat, during the late tremendous storm.—Newcastle Journal. THE ISUCHESSD - EB ERRI IN LA VENDEE, BY GENERAL DERMONCOURT.-This interesting and important volume, with portraits of the Duchess and the General, will be published to-morrow by Messrs. Bull and Churton, Holles.street, who have also nearly ready the English translation of " Marshal Ney's Memoirs," in two vols., with Portrait, Maps, and Plans. On the Ist day of October they will also publish " The Oriental Annual, or Scenes in India," containing twenty-five Engravings from original Drawings, by W. Daniell, Eeq., R.A. " The Biblical Annual," a valuable companion to the Holy Scriptures; and " The Geographical Annual, for 1834," including the discoveries and changes that have taken place to the present time. LIVERPOOL.--111r. Stanley was here on Friday, and drove through several of the principal streets, accompanied by Mr. Hardman Earle and two other gen tlemen. The Duke of Richmond and suite arrived the same evening by the railway train from Manchester, and passed through the great tunnel to Wapping. They after wards proceeded to Knowsley, the seat of the Earl of Derby. Some of the Irish papers express great indi g _ nation against Lord Yarborough for having, in his capa city of Commodore of the Yacht Flotilla, declined to pre sent to Louis Philippe, on his visit to Dieppe, any others than the members of the English division. The pictures for the Winter Exhibition at the Suffolk Gallery, were received on the 9th and 10th of this month. It is the second season of a novel attempt, arid consists not only of choice pieces of the dead masters, but three unexhibited works of any one of the living. Webster, Stanley, Lance, Davis, &c., have contributed, and it promises to be a successful speculation. A correspondent of the Lancet of Saturday states that the Duke of Buckingham promised :300/. to wards the establishment of an Infirmary in Aylesbury, and that when called on for the money, he refused to pay' alleging that the institution was a humbug, wholly un called for by the necessities of the country. FirtE.—At two o'clock on Saturday morning a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. Smith ? cheesemonger, of Church -street, Greenwich, which burnt with such fury, that the house was entirely consumed before the flames could be extinguished. The houses on each side of Mr. Smith's were also considerably damaged. The steam carriage which went to Brighton on Friday (Sir Charles Dance's), performed the journey in six hours and twenty minutes, including stoppages; the time taken, exclusive of delays, was five hours and twenty minutes. The carriage, with a barouche attached, was to take an airing about Brighton on Saturday, and then return to town. Among the other projects now afloat there is one for a Joint Stock Company, to be called " The London, Bombay, and China Shipping Company," who propose to purchase some of the large ships now engaged in that trade, and invite the present owners, and the principal merchants and others connected with the port of London to unite in the proposed undertaking. An investigation has for some days past been going on at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, relative to the abstraction of the teeth from the corpse of a handsome young female who died in the hospital. A person employed in the institution was searched, and two sets of teeth were found on him. Two other men are said to be implicated with him. The discovery was first made by Mr. Powell, the undertaker, of Duke-street, Smithfield. ELECTORS IN FINSBURY BOROUGH.— Yesterday the Revising Barristers for Finsbury completed their labours. There are 8,341 registered electors. Last year there were 10,537, so that there is a decrease of 2,196. The greatest decrease is in the parishes of St. James and St. John, Clerkenwell, viz. 1,540. In Gray's Inn, there is an increase of 31. THE LATE SIR H. GOODRICKE.—SeveraI erroneous accounts have appeared in the papers relative to the late Sir Harry Goodricke's family. He inherited, from his father, the estate at Ribston, in Yorkshire, which has been in the family near three centuries. The Ba ronetage is not extinct, but on Sir H. Goodricke's death, devolved upon his cousin, Thomas Goodricke, E.q. (now Sir Thomas Goodricke), and on whom the Ribston estate was entailed under a family settlement. There are two sisters of Sir Harry's father now living, who are his coheirs at-law, and one of whom married Charles Gregory Fair fax, Esq., of Gilling Castle, in this county, and has several children.— Yorkshire Gazette.. The following confession from an enlightened Frenchman ought not to be lost upon his own country men or the world :—" No national experience," says he, " has accrued from the experience of 40 years of revolu tions ; which have only brought in their train public or private misfortune. There is no public instruction—of national morality nothing." In reply to a requisition inviting Mr. Wallace to a public dinner, that gentleman states that it is his in tention, before he accepts any such compliment, to have a meeting with his constituents, in such a place as they may be able to attend gratuitously, and receive from him an account of his conduct as their representative. This meeting would have been held before this, but has bee❑ postponed in consequence of the want of some documents sent by the smack Earl of Wemyss, and which, though landed from the vessel, have not yet reached their owner. Greenock Advertiser. A PECULIAR BREED OF SHEEP IN THE NEPAL COUNTRY.-The huniah is a large, tall breed, with slender, compressed, spirally-twisted horns, and short narrow tail. Though now naturalized in the Kachar, it is of trans-Himalayan origin. The colour is almost inva riably white. Individuals of this specks are apt to have three, four, and even five horns. The huniah cannot bear the heat of Nepal south of the northern division, and will doubtless flourish in England, where the experiment is making of naturalizing it. Its wool is superb. —Jour nal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. Mr. Hayter, set on - by the patronage given to Haydon by Lord Grey in the City Reform Dinner, now in a very forward state, has, we hear, started a new project, similar in subject, but different in its workings. It is to be a picture of any dimensions—subject, the Moving of the Address in the first Reformed House, and to contain as many Members as chose to return themselve s to this Parliament of universal suffrage. Each is to pay ten guineas, to sit twice, and to have the original sketch, and all the immortality of a place in the large picture for his money and his pains. _ A NOTHER. PROJECT.-A question has been raised at York as to the practicability of improving the channel of the river Ouse, below that city, so as to admit sea-borne vessebi, of considerable burden, by aid of the giant steam. The Merchants' Company of York appear to have taken the matter up, and there is every probability of its being carried into effect. At a meeting last week extracts were read from charters and documents com mencing so early as 1118, and coming down to 1726, which not only proved that York was formerly a port, but also that it was very extensively engaged in foreign commerce. CHOLERA AT SHEFFIELD.-It is with re gret that we record that the cholera has again made its appearance in this town, particularly in the neighbour hoods of Newfield and Bridgehouses, where it was on its former visit so fatally life. A mother and two children in one family have become its victims in the first men tioned place. A severe case has also occurred in the Park. Our readers and the public will, therefore, do well to obtain prompt and efficient medical aid on the first appear ance of any of the premonitory symptoms, diarrhoea, sickness, &c., as also to promote cleanliness in their neigh bourhoods.—Sheffield Mercury. There is a certain portion of the cliff' near Crowlink which has been the scene of several fatal acci dents, particularly to the coast guard. A few days since a gentleman passing that way observed a carpenter making a coffin, and was informed that it was for the sixth man who had met his death by falling over the cliff at that place, while on the look out for smugglers. The descent is extremely deceptive ; for some distance there is an inclined plane, on which apparently a man may warx free from danger, but it terminates so abruptly that tie indivi dual who ventures there, while supposing himself secure, is suddenly hurried into the abyss beneatb.—Brighton Herald. On Saturday John Mason, the wretched man who succeeded in slaying the late lamented Nathaniel Sneyd, Esq., was removed from Newgate to the Richmond Lunatic Asylum, where he will be imprisoned for life. A monument by public subscription is about to be erected to the memory of the deceased gentleman. THE GIRAFFE.—This singular and hitherto extremely rare animal is now, from the increasing desire to procure novelties of the animal kingdom, likely to be come more familiar to this country, as no less than six have been captured and brought through the Great Desert. They have arrived safely at Grand Cairo, preparatory to their shipment for England. One of these beautiful animals has been procured by Mr. Burton, the architect, who is now travelling in Egypt, for the Zoological Society in the Regent's Park, and arrangements are in progress for shipping a pair of them for the Surrey Zoological Gardens. Another of these animals has also been captured in the back settlements of the Cape of Good Hope, and is now on its passage to this country.

Business is by no means brisk, speculation having bee❑ for a time suspended on account of the critical state of the wool trade, yet an average quantity of goods has been sold. The clothiers comp:ain of the reluctance of the merchants to give prices equal to the rise in wools, and the latter urge as a reason that as the price of the raw material must decline in value they will not be able to realise the prices now asked.— Leeds Intelligencer. ROYAL POET.—The King of Bavaria, who has not yet lost his taste for writing poetry, has caused an ode, or elegy, entitled "Europe in the Nineteenth Cen tury," to be inserted in the almanack for 1834. From the tenor of this production, his Majesty appears to be no longer animated by the liberal sentiments which he evinced in his former compositions. He laments the opening of Pandora's box. The people, given up to delusion, are led towards destruction. Every where appears a confusion of language, as of old, at the construction of Babel. The torrent of passion carries men who are no longer restrained by sacred ties, &c. This new Jeremiad on the spirit of the age will, no doubt, be well received at Munchenerata. The October Number of Mr. Colburn's New Monthly Magazine will contain, we are informed, among other interesting Papers :—The first of a Series, by the Author of Highways and By-ways, entitled " My Travel ling Acquaintance ;" also the first of a Series of Sketches by Miss Mitfurd, entitled, 4 , Inhabitants of a Country Town."—Th e late Mr. Tardy, a Sketch, by the Author of Paul Pry—The Ruined Laird, a Tale, by the Hon.

According to the last official returns, 7,500 French convicts, condemned to hard labour, are now at the hulks of Brest, Rochefort, and Toulon. The hulks at L'Orient were suppressed in 1830 ; at that time the number of convicts amounted to 8,461. The expense for the administration and surveillance of the hulks, and for the maintenance and pay of the convicts, amounted to 2,571,566 f. The product of the work done by the con ' victs, is rated at 2,052,286 f. This wot k consists in re pairs, sawing of timt'er, &c. Thus the hulks cost the State about 400,0001. more than they bring in. At Toulon the convicts are employed, for the most part, in works requiring more intelligence, and the product of their labour generally covers their expenses. FASHIONABLE TASTE IN MUSIC.—When people of fashion go to concerts it is not to hear the music —they do not deign to listen to it. A concert serves as an excuse to draw them together, and the noise of voices and of instruments furnishes an agreeable accompaniment to their conversation. No sooner has the conductor given the signal by a prelude o❑ the piano, than they break up into parties all over the rosin ; their clamour soon grows loud as the din of a public meeting or a market-place, and lasts till the piece of music is finished. However, one artist is generally excepted from this mortifying reception. This fortunate mortal is the singer, or rather the songstress, "a la mode." As soon as her voice is heard silence is re-established. By this preference the fashionable world would mark that it is not insensible to the charms of music, and that when it disregards the rest, it is because that rest does not deserve its attention.-111. Fetis on English Music. Lord Althorp appears to have been particu larly successful at the Annual Show of the Northamp tonshire Grazing Society, which took place last week at his Lordship's farm at Chapel Brampton. To the Noble Lord were awarded the second prize of three guineas for five long-wooled shearhogs; three sovereigns for his Durham steer, three years and three months old ; two sovereings for a second Durham steers, of the same age; two sovereigns for the best steer under three years and nine months old; and three guineas for another Durham steer, three years and three months old, " bred by himself." Upon his health being drunk, the Noble Lord expressed his high gratification at the number and quality of the animals exhibited, but declined all allusion to politics. lie had, be said, been for some time past employed upon sub jects very different from those they were then met to discuss; but to those subjects, he was happy to say he was not allowed by the rules of the Society more particu larly to advert. THE FROLIC OUTWITTED.—A hare some times travels a good way after it is dead ; but seldom stirs far after it is cooked. In this town, however, it some times has a different fate. A capital puss was seen in the larder of an inn, in this town, on Monday, by a party of youths intent on a frolic and a good supper. They smoked the landlord to sleep, and engaged the attention of the domestics whilst three of the party mounted on each others' shoulders and bore off the prize. In the evening puss was cooked at another inn, where a hungry party were met to devour her; but the original proprietor of the hare suspecting who were the rogues, and having them watched, dispatched two friends to see what could be done towards her recovery. They arrived just as the party had sat down; the cook was dishing up the dinner, when one of the intruders threw his arms round her neck to kiss her, whilst the other seized the hare and fled with the prize to its original owner. The dismay of the rogues who stole the hare, at finding themselves thus baulked (and who were compelled to sup on hot potatoes and cheese), could only be equalled by the enjoyment of the party who devoured the hare.— Shrewsbury Chronicle. FEROCITY OF A RAT.—A singular instance of the ferocity of a rat occurred last Wednesday night, in the house of Mr. Swain, of the Punch Bowl Inn, Thurs day Market. After the family had all retired to bed, Mr. and Mrs. Swain were awoke out of their sleep by the screams of their three children, who slept in an adjoining room. Mrs. S. immediately went to learn the cause; and on entering the room she observed a large rat jump off the bed. Her husband procured a light, and an unsuc cessful search was made for it. On examining the child ren, they discovered that the eldest, about six years old, had one of his hands bitten ; another, about four years old, had one of his knees so severely bitten, that he was unabl e to walk the following day ; and the youngest, about 11 months old, was so severely bitten on one side of the neck, a little under the ear, and bled so profusely that its life was considered in danger. During the time Mr. and Mrs. S. were in the room, the rat jumped upon the bed a second time, and seized the youngest child by the forehead. The ferocious animal kept its hold until Mr. Swain went and attempted to catch it, but it eluded his grasp, and finally made its escape.— Yorkshire Gazette. AUDACIOUS SWINDLING ; OR, How TO TRAVEL POST TO LICHFIELD RACES—Stratford-on- Avon, Sept. 17.--Last week, on the day before Lichfield Races, a person, calling himself a Bow-street officer, came travelling post through this town, in pursuit, as he pre tended, of four men who had robbed and murdered a commercial gentleman near London. Two of the mur derers, he said, he had apprehended between London and Stratford. So anxious was this vigilant emmissary of justice to secure the other two that he drove to the dif ferent lodging-hou ses h ere i n a post-chaise and pair, with the chaise-door open, that he might the more securely pounce upon his prey. His search being unsuccessful he took a fresh chaise and pair from hence, and so keen was h e in the pursuit that he had not time to pay fur it. Near Lapworth lie took a man into custody under pre tence that he was one of the suspected criminals, and then continued his pursuit of the fourth through Hockley and Birmingham to Lichfield. It being the races, of course, he directed the post-boy to drive at once to the race course, as the most probable place in which to find the delinquent he was pursuing. Here, on alighting from the chaise, of course he was asked by the postboy for pay ment. This he indignantly resented, gave the postboy a kick for his impertinence, suddenly disappeared amongst the crowd, and has never been either seen or heard of s i nc e. When at Stratford he did not apply to the local police for assistance; but it was suggested to Mr. Asbfield the constable, that he ought to assist in the pursuit. Ash field, however, thinking that no Bow-street officer would gallop about fro m one l o d g i ng- h ouse to anot h er in a post chaise, with the door open, expressed his suspicion that all was not right, and declined to volunteer in such an ap parent wild-goose chase. His suspicions have been am ply confirmed. The swindler, it appears, at Shipston on-Stour contrived to obtain cash to a considerable amount on a check ; and at other towns also be practised the same trick, frequently leaving 51. in the hands of the landlord, if the latter bad not cash to the full amount of the check, at the same time promising to settle the ba lance and pay for the chaise on his return. So adroit and successful was the impostor that it is confidently said he netted nearly 2001. b y t h e excurs i on, besides travelling post from London to Lichfield, most expeditiously, and without cost.--Leaminyton Courier. CHURCH RATES AT COVENTRY. (From a Morning Cotemporary.) For many years past, the churchwardens of the parish of St. Michael, Coventry, in vestry assembled, have been in the practice of imposing church rate after church rate upon the inhabitants, who, from the uniform domineering manner in which the said rates were annually demanded, became so accus tomed to the yoke, that they began to look upon the matter as one in which they could not interfere. There appeared to be no remedy, and a settled apathy upon the subject pervaded all classes to such an extent, that when parish meetings have been called for the purpose of making the rate, the churchwardens have been under the necessity of calling in persons as they passed by the church doors to obtain the quorum required by law, to make the rate binding. The spirit which has been manifested at Birmingham, Man chester, and other places, during the last few years, has done something towards removing this apathy. The inquiry, " What becomes of the money we are thus called upon to pay ?" became general, and amongst the Dissenters, " Why should we pay to the support of an establishment from which we conscientiously differ ?" Last year, when the parish was called upon to grant another rate, a few spirited individuals made an attempt to suppress it, but from the local tyranny exercised in this place, and from supposing the attempt would be useless, only twelve persons could be found to attend; consequently the annual demand of Is. 61. in the pound was granted and enforced. The shameful arbitrary manner in which the churchwardens pre vented the introduction of Mr. Hothouse's Bill at the commencement of this year roused the spirit of the people, and as the time drew near for the an nual farce of a parish meeting, they were determined to redeem their character in the estimation of their countrymen. They have done so this day. The usual notice for a parish meeting to grant the churchwardens the necessary annual sum for keeping the parish church in repair was on Sunday last pub lished from the pulpit. Some time in the night of Sunday the notices were posted on the church door, but such were the apprehensions of the select, lest the rate payers generally should become acquainted with the intended meeting, that early on Monday morning the notices were torn from the obscure situation in which they had been placed. It was, however, of no avail; this morning (Thursday, Sept. 19) a numerous and respectable body of rate payers a-sembied in the church. Mr. Willmo:t, attorney, was called to the chair. The vestry being found insufficient to contain the assembly, the meet ing adjourned to a more commodious part of the edifice. The alarm of the select and their friends was now very apparent, and in order to gain time it was proposed, and after some little discussion acceded to, that the names of all present should be taken down, and their qualification ascertained, ere the business of the meeting commenced. During this delay the desponding party sent out in all di rections for a reinforcement of their numbers, and one or two were seen dropping in, apparently ex hausted with the efforts they had made to be in time to make a bold stand in behalf of the compul sory system. After the tedious preliminary had been gone through, the churchwardens pretended to lay what they called a statement of their accounts for the past year before the meeting. It appears that the rate last year produced 801/. 14s. 4d., to which they added the pew rents, fines, &c., 166/. 18s. Bd., and an annual income, arising from certain estates, of 230/. 3s. 6d., forming a total of ti e n i e n a h r a ly b tl,an2toso/., for ex t cl he u si s v u e of p p o r a t n o f a n t n h u e a v l ic ra ar te upon ;but, notwithstanding this enormous sum, they had con trived to contract debts beyond their income to the amount of seven hundred pounds, without the knowledge or consent of the parish. Amongst other items of expenditure during the last year were -211. to the vicar for reading weekly prayers (besides his vicar's rate); 1001. for repairs at the vicarage house (no such building being in existence); 60/. to the organist; 201. for tuning and repairing the organ ; 311. 95. to the parish clerk ; 36/. I4s. 3d. to the sexton (besides marriage and other fees); 12/. for regulating the clock and chimes; 121. 12s. to the leader of the choir; 21/. to the singing boys; 30/.for coals; 191. 19s. for sacramental wine and bis cuits; 51.55. for water; 51. for ascertaining if it was ne cessary to consecrate the ground on which the new church is built, and 50/. for the expenses of conse cration; 2/. for hats for Sunday constables; 21/. for ringing the bells; 4/. for bell ropes; 1551. in dis charge of an old debt, but how contracted was not specified ; 321. for bread given away on the Sunday; 10/. for rent of burial ground; 5/. for Bibles; 2/. 16s. fees to the Bishop; 80/., being the amount of annuities to two old ladies; 41. 4s. Bd., gown account and surplices; for repairs of the church, 120/. 6s. 6d. The above items, including other trifling expenses, amount to upwards of 900/. To this was added 219/. 2s. 91-d. which, the church wardens said, they were compelled to pay towards the erection and fitting up of Christ Church ; and by this means they continued to eke out something like a balance, and endeavoured to pacify the mur murs of the meeting on the announcement of this latter sum, by stating that the like charges could not again occur. Mr. LEA, the attorney of the churchwardens, stated, that the ordinary expenses of the church were about 1,0851., and that the sum they now wanted to raise, in addition to the pew rents, in come from estates, &c., was about 7751. Mr. R. HANDS said he expected the accounts for the past year would have been published prior to the meeting, but as they had not, the parishioners had not an opportunity ofjudging of their propriety. Mr. LEA statad, that the accounts never had been published, but were open to the inspection of the payers. Mr.WiLmoTT, jun., said the object in not pub lishing the accounts was to save expense.—(A Mr. HANDS was quite certain the parish would not object to the trifling expense of a few hand-bills. Mr. S. WitiTTEm--The parishioners ought not to be called upon for more money until they had seen in what manner the last had been expended. Mr. R. HANDS —The sum expended in the re pairs and services of the church was equal to one fourth of the whole of the poor-rate, out of which was paid the county rate. I wish to know from the churchwardens what sums they require for the en suing year ? RALPIIS, accountan t-churchwarden, after much hesitation, and a glance of expressive import at his brother churchwardens, said, not less than Is. Gd. in the pound. _ _ Mr. MAYO wished to know it' the churchwardens were at liberty to contract a debt of 500/., or any other sum, beyond what was granted them, and without the consent of the parish ? Mr.JotiN CARTER said, the money required by the churchwardens should be raised within the year. It would, however, be unhandsome not to pay the debts which had been contracted.—(Exclamations of " Oh, oh !" arid " What have we to do with that? we did not contract them.") Mr. C. WOODCOCK wished to know whether any estimate of the probable expenses of repairs for the ensuing year had been made. The meeting was called to grant a sum for the repairs of the church. He wished to know to what amount the repairs would be? The ACCOUNTANT CHURCHWARDEN stated, that if no accident occurred, he did not intend to expend more than 51. Mr. C. WooDcocK—lf that is the case, a very small rate will be wanted. The Churchwardens said they could not do with less than Is. 6d. in the pound, which sum was pro posed to the meeting. Mr. R. HANDS stated that the accounts of the Churchwardens were anything but satisfactory, and he should therefore propose the following amend ment : " That this meeting consider the sum required by the Churchwardens extravagant and u purpose of enabling them to b PA.:factory estimate, and for givin ,onnts, ih's meeting do adjourn to Mr. HANDS said that, althoui ject was to adjourn the meeting would candidly tell them that and frorr principle objected to compulsory payments of this nature; and therefore his real object was to ;et rid )1 the rate altogether.—(A loud burst of approbation followed this announcement.) The amendment was seconded by Mr. 11. MER RIDEW. Mr. JOHN CARTETt, town-clerk, (who, by the by, as it respects his official occupations, is a kind of Caleb Qlotem in the city,) said, if this amendment was carried, it would place the churchwardens ill the awkward predicament of having no funds to carry on the necessary services of the church. The notice calling the meeting was informal. It stated that the rate was wanted only for the repairs of the church, whereas it was expended in various other ways. He should propose that the meeting be solved, and another meeting called, the notice tor ~hick should embrace all the points fur which the' money was required. Mr. W. MA . vo remarked that all former meetings had been called by a similar notice w that calling the present one, yet it did not appear that any pre vious objection had ever been made. Several voices exclaimed, " Nobody opposed the rate then." After considerable discussion, The Cllmamts proposed Mr. Carter's amen ment, " That thii meeting be dissolved." On a show of hands, an overwhelming majority appeared against it. The minority then demanded a division; this accordingly took place, and resulted in the Chairman declaiing Mr. Carter's motion lost. The amendment proposed by Mr. R. Hands wag tbsm put, and carried by a large majority. At the close of the meeting votes of thanks were given to the Chairman, for his able and impartial conduct in the chair ; and to Mr. It. Hands for the spirited manner in which he had advocated the cause of the parishioners on the occasion. •this4i,iti .' 4,-,-...1:::Tet., : ..-- inne 00.40!). ~,. )rin gs " k r lf tr ibi. 0... z ..k. is putiliak 644)t•: - ugh 'k•fP ~ . • -f i.- --.. rig for e a kl" the wash t s ent` r, CIRCUIT COURT OF JUSTICIARY. PERTH, SEPT. 16.—ADMINISTERING drew Williamson, labourer, was indicted on the 10th Geo. IV. C. 38, for having, on the Ist July, felouioudy . compounded with some sugar a quantity of arsenic, which. was administered among tea to Margaret Mintosh or Williamson, his wife, Willadmina Young, his grand.. 'laughter, and Hubert But•ercase, all and each cf whom were rendered more or less ill in consequence; or other wise, the poisonous substance was administered to the above persons, with intent to murder, or do them some gi ievous harm. The prisoner pleaded—Not Guilty. The facts of the case are shortly these :—Tire panel, oldan man of 60 years of age, married Margaret M.lntosh, also well advanced in life, and mother of two sons by a former marriage, who hid reached man hood. The p Ind and his wife, who had been mar ried about three years, appeared to live on most dis agreeable terms. On the last Friday of June, a quarrel took place between them, which continued till Monday morning, in the course of which the panel struck his wife and bruised her severely. She got up and went out to milk the cow, but feeling ill, returned to bed. The panel having taken brose to breakfast, which was rather unusual, offred her tea—made it, and on her refusal to partake of it, lie got in a passion, and threw the tea into the ash-pit. This circumstance, however, di I not excite any suspicion in the woman's mind, and he went out of the house, followed by his wife, who went to a neighbour's house. The panel returned, and was observed by a grand-child go to a press, and remark that there was no sugar in the bowl. He took some from ab g, and stirred it in th e bowl with a spoon, and then put some more sugar on the top, and the spoon above all. He was observed to have a small paper parcel in his hand on going to the press, and to have it in his hand on leaving the press, but he was not seen to take anything from it, and had he done so, the girl, thought she would have observed it. He left home that night, stating that he was going to take another house for himself, because lie could not live with his wife, who returned late in the evening, attended by her sons of a former marriage, each of whom came armed with a gun. Next morning the wife partook of tea as usual, old one of her sons and the grandchild had one cup each, and they were soon after affected, with the exception of the girl, with griping pains. The wife took tea again in the evening, and was again affected in a similar manner. Suspecting something wrong with the sugar, she took it to St.Andrews,where it was analyzed by Professor Briggs,who found it to contain a portion oldie white oxide of arsenic,and Dr. Green of Cupar also made an analysis, and obtained a similar result. The panel, who had not absconded, was apprehended, and admitted having arsenic in the house, which be had purchased to destroy rats, of which there were some in the house. He also said, that if there was any of it found among the sugar, the poison must have been placed there by his wife to inculpate him. He like wise mentioned where a portion of the arsenic would be found, and where it was found accordingly. The Jury unanimously found the panel guilty of the crime libelled. TUESDAY, SEPT. 17. At the meeting of the Court this morning, the Advo cate-Depute stated that, under all the circumstances of the ease, he was warranted to restrict the libel in the case of Williamson; and the panel was sentenced to transportation for life. We hear that Colonel Evans, the Member for Westminster, has either set off, or is on the point of leaving town for Lisbon, where the advice of this very distinguished officer, whose military talents are univer sally admitted to be of the highest order, cannot fail to be of great use to Don Pedro, and, through him, to the cause of Constitutional freedom in Europe.—Morning Paper. HERNE BAY.—So strong is the rage for building at Herne Bay that, last week, sixteen acres of land in the rear of the Ship Inn, for which, about three years ago, 1,5001. could not be obtained, were sold for 5,500/., subject also to a condition that the building should be erected on a plan which is to leave a prospect of the river to other houses that may be built farther from it.

Pt RACY.—A letter, dated Cape Coast Castle, 13th July, briefly describes the capture by the Curlew, Captain H. D. Trotter, of a piratical vessel, which itnme distely blew up. The letter states that Captain Trotter himself made a narrow escape; that his unfortunate purser, his gunner, and two men were killed, and several others of the crew wounded. There was no fever on board or any sickness but that arising from wounds. It is not stated whether the blowing up was accidental or intended by the pirates.
