THE COMMISSIONERS of STAMPS do hereby give Notice, in pursuance of an Act of the last Session of Parliament (3 and 4 William IV. cap. 97), that they have determined to discontinue the use of all and every the Dies at any time heretofore provided and used for denoting or marking the Stamp Duties, now by law payable for or in respect of the several matters and things following, (that is to say) Bills of Exchange, Pro missory notes, (except Bankers' re-issuable notes for sums not exceeding 101.) and Receipts given for or upon the payment of Money, and that they have provided New Dies to be used for denoting or marking the Duties afore said, in lieu of the said Dies, whereof the use is intended to be discontinued. And the said Commissioners have axed and appointed the Thirtieth day of November next ensuing as the Last Day for engrossing, writing, or print. ing any Bills, Promissory Notes, (except Bankers' re issuable Notes, such as before mentioned,) or Receipts, upon the payment of money, upon Stamped Paper, with any of the said Dies, of ss hich the use is so intended to be discontinued; and they have also directed and declared, that from and after the said 30th day of November, the said New Dies, so provided as aforesaid, shall be the only true and lawful Dies for denoting the Duty upon or in respect of Bills of Exchange, Promissory Notes, (except such as before mentioned,) or Receipts for Money, and any such Documents which may, after the said 30 , h November next, be written upon Paper not Stamped with the s4id New Dies will, in point of law, be con,i dered as written on unstamped paper. The new Dies are respectively appropriated to Bills of Exchange, Promissory-notes, and Receipts, by having the words " Bill or Note," or the word " Receipt," on the face thereof, and the impressions of all such new Dies may be distinguished from the impressions of any Dies heretofore provided and used, by having also on the face thereof cer tain Figures intended to denote the date of such impres sions respectively. All persons who have in their possession any Stamps for Bills of Exchange, Promissory notes, or Receipts, which will he rendered useless by reason of the providing of the said new Dies, will be entitled to have impressions of the said new Dies in lieu of, and to an equal amount of such use'ess Stamps, on the latter being presented at the Head Office for Stamps, in Westminster or Edinburgh, at any time within three calendar months next after the said 30th day of November. The public are particularly cautioned against using any of the old stamps for Bills of Exchange or Promissory notes after the 30th of November next, as such instru ments would be wholly void and useless, the Commis• sioners being prohibited from stamping a Bill or Note after the making thereof, under any circumstances whatever.

BULL-BAITING.—At a Petty Sessions held en Saturday last at the King's Head, Chowhent, before James Kearsley, Esq., twenty persons %vete convicted in various penalties, fir having baited a bull near to the turnpike-road leading from Bolton to Leigh, at the last Ty desley wakes. The penalties generally inflicted were 4 Os. and costs lls., and in only one instance lets than 20s. and lls costs. Six of the (4:fenders were contutitted to Kirkdale g tol for three months in default of payment. (From a Correspondent.)—The Isabella, of Hull, in which Captain Ross made his first voyace to the Arctic regions., a,,cl in which, by a singular coinci dence, he has returned from what msy be presumed will be his last, was launched at Hull in the year 1812, and named after the daughter of one of the owners, the late W. Mourn, Esq., for whom and J. White, Esq., of Cot tingham, the vessel was built. She was theii engaged in the transport service, and was at the taking of St. Sebas- tian with the troops, when several of the crew were killed. After the war, she was selected by the Government for the Polar expedition, and fitted up with double decks and other requisites to encounter the violence of the northern sees. After the return of that expedition she was paid off, and the vessel was then sold to the present owners, who have taken advantage of the capabilities secured by Government to engage in the whale fishery, in which she has been extremely fortunate, her strength and other ad vantages having enabled the captains to go further into the ice than other ships could venture. It was thus that Capt.in Ross enjoyed the singular gratification, at the time of obtaining a providential rescue from his hazardous situation, to find him•elf rescued by the very vessel in which he bad first gone forth on his great adventure. DOMESTICATED ANIMALS.—An elephant (says a recent writer), in a state of irritation, bad slain his keeper by a blow. The moment he saw the poor man did not move, he stopped suddenly, seemed concerned, looked at him with an eye of pity, and stood riveted to the spot. He then ran to the place whence he bad broken loose, in fiont of which lay a little girl, about two years old, the daughter of his unfortunate keeper. He took the child from the ground, caressed and fondled it for some time, and then replaced some clothes which had fallen off. After this he stood over the child with his eyes fixed upon it ; " and if," says the narrater, I did not see the peniten tial tear steal from his eye, I never saw it in my life." He then submitted to be chained, and stood motionless and dejected, as if sensible he had done a wrong he could not repair.

Henry Lockie, a young man of very decent ap pearance, was brought before the LORD MAYOR yesterday, upon the following charge : Inspector Wilkinson, of the M division, stated that the prisoner on the preceding night applied to him to be informed what sort of punishment awaited a person who was guilty of robbing a house in which he resided—whether such a crime was punishable with death ? Witness replied that the penalty in a great measure depended upon the cir cumstances under which the robbery was committed. " Well," said the prisoner, " I am the person who has committed the robbery, and I am come to deli ver myself up to you." Witness suspected that the person was either mad or drunk, and asked him whether he was not joking, but the answer was that he had robbed the house of a lady named Ed gar, No. 8, Devonshire-square, on the 22d of Sep tember, at about half-past twelve o'clock at night, of forty sovereigns. Witness then sent a police sergeant to the address of Miss Edgar, who, it ap peared, kept a lodging-house, and it was soon ascer tained that the prisoner's account of himself was perfectly corr, or. In the absence of the sergeant the prioner stared voluntarily that he had opened the cook's box with a key, and taken out of it a small box which contained the sovereigns and some trinkets, but the latter he left behind. This account completely agreed with the siatement of the cook as to the sovereigns which had been stolen, and the property which had been spared. The LORD MAYOR—I see you have given a very accurate account of this transaction, prisoner. Pray, what have you done with the poor woman's money ? Prisoner—l spent it all except is. 6d. I took some spoons, too, and pawned them, and burnt the ticket. The LORD MAYOR—And what was your motive for committing this monstrous robbery ? Prisoner —I did it to be revenged. The LORD MAYOR--Revenged! Who had injured you ? Prisoner—The cook, my fellow servant. I was leaving the house, and I was pro mised a good character, but I heard the cook re fused to give it me, and I determined to do some. thing to make her remember me, so I robbed her of all she had. The inspector stated that the prisoner said he had been spending the money in Birmingham and Manchester and other places, and that as he drew towards the last shilling he approached the metro polis. A policeman said that the prisoner acknowledged that he was diQposed to push his revenge further, and he had carried a pistol and bullets about him for that purpose. Elizabeth Chambers, the cook to Miss Edgar, stated that the prisoner had been her fellow-ser vant, and had been always treated kindly by her. She sometimes spoke to him about his indolent habits, and she spoke to nobody else on the sub ject. The prisoner had received notice to quit, but begged to be allowed to sleep in the house one night more, and was permitted. In the morning, when witness went down stairs, she found the street door open, and that the prisoner had departed, and she soon afterwards found that she was robbed. The LORD MAYOR—Had he ever exhibited symptoms of insanity ? Witness—Never, the slightest. Mr. Edgar, brother to Miss Edgar, stated that the cook treated the prisoner more like a child than a stranger. The - inspector stated that the prisoner was the son of a man who had been greatly respected as an officer in the Union Hall establishment. The LORD MAYOR—And what induced you to deliver yourself up, and confess the robbery, pri soner ? Prisoner—Because I thought they would be looking after me. His Lordship remanded the prisoner for further examination. BOTV-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ROBBERY BY A CON FIDENTIAL CLERK.—Yesterday Henry Chapman, a mere youth, of very respectable appearance, was brought up in the custody of Gardiner, charged with stealing a 501. Bank of England note, and 71. lOs., the property of John Henry Cancellor, Esq., one of the Secondaries of the Temple, in whose office he was employed. The case excited a great deal of interest, in consequence of the high respec• tability of the prisoner's connections, and the singu lar circumstances attending his capture by the officer. Mr. John Goody, of No. 10, Ashby-street, Nor '' lampton : square, is managing clerk to Mr. Cancel lor, and the prisoner was a clerk in the same office. At half-past one o'clock on Friday, the 4th instant, he gave the prisoner a Bank of England vote for 501., No. 14,739, and directed him to go to Smith, Payne, and Smith, the bankers, and take up a draft lying due there, drawn upon Mr. Cancellor. He also informed him that on the following day an order would be presented for 71. 10s., and that he would find the means of payment in a certain desk which he pointed oqr, at the same time stating that he would most likely be absent the next day, as he felt unwell. He did, however, go to the office, and found the 71. 10s. gone, and he also discovered that the draft at Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's had not been tak,n up. Mr. Kenston, a cashier of the Bank of England, produced the bank-note in question for 501., with the name " P. Griffith, 19, Cambridge-street, Rig- Nate-road," writteo upon it, and said he cashed it with 50 sovereigns on the 4,h instant. Mr. Ray, from the office of Mr. Cancellor, swore that the signature and address " P. Griffith," &c., were in the handwriting, of the prisoner. This was the evidence for the proeeution as it regarded the bank -note, and the following letter was put in and read. It was addressed to Mr. Caned- Jur, and signed by the prisoner : " Honoured Sir,—On Friday last I went to take up a dratt drawn upon you, and I met a person of my acquaint ance, and we entered a house for the purpose of drinking On coming ou! I tound I had been robbed not only of the 501. note, but the 71. 10s. which I took out of Mr. Goody's desk for safety, as there were workmen there. fhe loss maddened me, Sir, and I went home and hasti,y collected a few things to go abroad, or rather to work my way to some foreign port, but I could not do it. I was distracted to think what my loss had been, or I should have dared to have supplicated for your forgiveness. I shallno w become fn)m a suicide; but oh ! in m e rcy t o m y father and my poor mother, oh, pray, do not let them ire discharged too worthy for their your son's er s s lr v e i t e u e' return you h tha a ri r lis for your kindness, your unparalleled kindness, to me. By the time you receive this I shall b no more. " HENRY CHAPMAN." Mr. Thomas Tucker, a livery-stable keeper, de posed that on the 4th instant the prisoner came to his stables and hired a horse and gig to g , . to Brigh ton for seven days, and paid 51. 19s. He said he was Mr. Charles Wilde, the son of Mr. Sergeant Wilde, and lived at No. 21, Great Guildford-Street, which is the residence of the Learned Sergeant. He had never seen the horse and gig since until it was restored to him by Gardiner, the officer. This evidence having been gone through, the prisoner was remanded till the evening, when lie was ag ain brought up. Gardiner having received information of the rob bery went to Brighton, arid learned that the prisoner had been there, dashing about in a horse arid gig, and had purchased a gold watch and other articles. He traced him from thence to Maidstone, where he was too late by about an hour, but found some lug gage at an inn there, and in one of the boxes were one pound of gunpowder, fifty bullets, and some wadding. He went on to Dover, and saw the pri soner driving at the rate of at least ten miles an hour down the main street, leading to the passport office. Gardiner ran to the passport office and took the pri soner into custody. He found 3/. 7s. in his pocket, and a number of percussion caps. He had also a pistol in his outside coat pocket. Witness subse quently traces the prisoner's wife to Hythe, and found upon her 12/. 10s., and some powder and per cussion caps, and a pistol. The prisoner had nothing to say, and was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Q UEEN-S QU ARE. THE ASSESSED TAXES.—Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Farren, the Secretary of the Westminster As sociation for the Repeal of the House and Window Duties, and a deputation from that body, waited on Messrs. WnITE and BURRELL, the sitting ma gistrates, to know if they would countenance, by their patronage, the association now formed in West. minster. A memorial was here handed to the Bench, of which the following is a copy : ‘• The Westminster Association, having been established upon the broadest principle of a general admission of housekeepers of the city and liberty of Westminster, and the metropolis generally, for the attainment of a defensihl obj-ct by legal means, viz., the entire and instant repeal of those unjust, oppressive, and illegal imposts, the house arid window taxes, and for the protection of its members against unjust assessments and oppressive distraints, feel it their bounden duty to afford their fellow-citizens an oppor tunity of manifesting their opinion on the injustice of con tinuing these war taxes in time of peace, and in direct violation of a pledge morally and virtually given by a former Minister, that they should not he collected beyond two years after the termination of that war. Since that pledge was given, eighteen years have elipsed, and these taxes are still in a state of collection amongst an oppressed and overburdened population. " The Westminster Association, actuated by these principles, and deploring most acutely the ill-timed policy which has consigned so many hundreds of intelligent and virtuous men to the political degradation of disfranchise ment, from an inability to pay any longer these grievous burdens, have appointed a deputation of their body (the bearers of this memorial), on their behalf, to solicit the co-operation and assistance of their fellow-citizens, by en rolling themselves as members, or contributing to the funds in the shape of a donation. " Signed by order of the Association, " WILLIAM FARREN, Hon. Secretary. " Committee-room, Prince's Head, Princes-street, Storey's-Gate, Oct. 23, 1833." Mr. Farren then briefly addressed the Bench, in order to explain the views of the association, and requested to know if they would sanction it. Mr. WHITE (turning his back to the deputation) said that it was illegal, and he would have nothing to do with it, desiring the deputation at the same time to leave the office. Mr. Farren hoped they had not given any of fence ; they were merely deputed by the association, and trusted that they would be treated with courtesy, and whatever answer was returned by the magistrates would be faithfully reported to the meeting. He, however, denied that they were acting illegally ; their object was to obey the law. Mr. BURRELL—You have had your answer; we have told you that we shall have nothing to do with it. The deputation then retired. MAR YLEB ONE. William Hughes, a young man of very respectable appearance, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged before Mr. RAWLI NSON w i t h h av i ng violated Cathe rine Brown, an interesting looking girl, ten years of age. The child, having been questioned by the magis trate respecting the nature and obligation of an oath, deposed that she lived with her father and mother, who kept a clothes-shop in Stingo-lane, Paddington. The prisoner also lived in the same street, and dealt iu " sweet stuff" and other things. She had fre quently gone on errands for him, and one day last week, on her return from delivering a message, he took her into the back parlour.—(Here such parti culars were entered into, apparently with the greatest reluctance, by the child, as tended to esta blish, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the prisoner's guilt.) After keeping her in the room about a quarter of an hour, he suffered her to depart, and she then went home. While in the prisoner's apart ment she did not attempt to call out, for fear that the people who were walking in the street should run in and make a disturbance about it. Maria Brown (the mother) said that on the pre vious day ( Tuesday) she observed something strange in the child's manner, and on questioning her re specting the cause, was informed that the prisoner had assaulted her in the way she had described. Site (witness) had examined her, and was of opinion that she had sustained considerable injury. Sergeant Horsford, 6, D, here stepped forward and stated that on receiving information from Mrs. Brown of what had happened, he accompanied the little girl to the residence of the prisoner, and on entering the room in which lie was, she pointed him out immediately as the person who had ill-used her. The prisoner denied that he had committed any violence, but did not attempt to disguise the fact of his having been familiar With her. He then went to a drawer, from which he took a piece of paper, whereon the child had written to him in pencil several lines inviting► hint to that description of conduct with which he was charged. He further staled that she had mentioned to him the circum stance of her hav,n k r, twice by her own free will arid consent indulged in similar vicious courses with others. The note spoken of waa handed up to Mr. Raw linson, who read it with evident feelings of the greatest horror and disgust ; its contents were of the most filthy and abominable descrip!ion, such as Ise had never before heard of, as emanating from a child of so tender an age. The mother here examined the writing, and said she was sorry to -be compelled to own that it was her daughter's, to the best of her knowledge and Mr. RAwuNsoN (to the child)—ls this note your hand .vrii ? Child (crying bitterly)—Yes, it is, Mr. RAWLINSoN said, that in the whole course of his experience, he had never met with a more dread- ful ca-e of juvenile profligacy, and in order to af ford time for a proper examination of the child, and for the production of other evidence, he should re mand the prisoner till Monday next. HATTON.GARDEN. Yesterday John Ruf, an athletic Life Guards man, belonging to the Ist Regiment, stationed at t h e Regent's Park Barracks, was charged with hav ing committed a violent assault upon Charles May hew, a policeman of E division, by which his life is placed in Imminent danger, and with several other assaults and misconduct. James Gay, a police officer, on Tuesday night last, about a quarter to nine o'clock, was on duty in Holborn, when he saw the prisoner behaving himself in a very outrageoui manner, as if he was intoxicated. Witness and Wilding, another officer, both spoke kindly to him, and wished to avoid tak ing him into custody, ►n consequence of his being a m►litary man, but he would not desist; and at length he flourished about his cane and intentionally struck a young man, who insisted on witness taking him in charge for the assault. Witness and Wild ing seized him, on which he resisted them in a vie- lent manner, arid they found it im possible to take him along. Charles Mayhew, the injured man, _ assistance, and' even then they were le to get him along, and the crowd became so immense, that they were necessitated to send to St. Giles's station-honse for an extra number of men, to assist them. While they were taking the pri soner along he fell on the ground and vowed that he would not go with them, and he made a violent kick at Mayhew, which caught him in the groin, and he was obliged to leave his hold in consequence of his excessive pain, and was carried to a surgeon's in the neighbourhood, where he was found to be dreadfully injured, and rendered incapable of attend ing further to his duty. They were compelled eventually to carry the prisoner to the station-house on their should. Charles Wilting corroborated the evidence of the hist witness. Mr. ROGERS (to the prisoner)—What have you to say for such infamous conduct ? Prisoner— That I was drunk, your Worship. Mr. LAING suggested that the prisoner should be !timed over to the military authorities, as there was nobody present to prove that the prisoner had kicked Mayhew. Mr. ROGERS—As to turning him over to the mi litary power for punishment I shall not think of it; hut I shall certainly deal with him as I would with any other person. Mr. LAltiG—Then we can order him to find bail to appear here on Friday next, when Mayhew may be able to attend. Mr. ROGERS—Certainly, and to be locked up until it is procured. After having been confined about an hour and a half two persons became the prisoner's bail, and he was liberated. On inquiring after Mayhew we found him in a leplorable condition lying in bed, in the most ex cruciating agony, and unable to move. THAMES POLICE. SMUGGLING.—Yeste , day Thomas Stockton, the engineer, avid John Wafrond Hml Robert Yeats, stokers of the steam-packet Belfast, from Calais, ~ere charged, under the Custom-house Laws, with smuggling brandy and tobacco, by which they had rendered themselves liable as seamen to five years' servitude in the Navy. The prisoners were stopped on Saturday last, on the Tower-wharf, by Jordan and Gray, Custom-house officers, and about a gallon of foreign brandy and a pound of tobacco were found on their persons. They have been since de rained in prison, but yesterday the Commissioners of Customs consented to forego the informations on their paying 20s. each. On the prisoners being placed at the bar, Mr. Bullock, the clerk to the Solicitor of Customs, said he was instructed not to offer any evidence against them. The prisoners were then liberated. John Wynrnastrer, a Dutch seaman, was next charged on a Custom-house information, that he, not being a subject of his Majesty, did unlawfully smuggle eleven ounces of segars and one ounce of tobacco, by which he had incurred a penalty of 1001. This case was pressed. James Cragie, a Surveyor of Thames Police, said, that on Saturday last he slaw the prisoner coming ashore from a wherry at Bermondsey, and in a handkerchief in the boat he found the segars, which the prisoner said were his, and he was going to give them away. On searching his pockets he found one ounce of tobacco. The prisoner, in defence, knew be had done wrong. He was going to take the segars and to bacco to a friend for a smoke. Mr. BRODERIP convicted the prisoner in the pe nalty of 100/., and, in default of payment, to be imprisoned in Kingston gaol during his Majesty's pleasure. After the disposal of the above cages, Mr. BRODERIP anxiously inquired if anything had been done on behalf of the two seamen, nattier' Walters' and Grist, who were sentenced by him and Mr. COMBE on Saturday last to five yews' servitude in the navy for smuggling five pounds of tobacco ? He hoped the Commissioners of Customs had favour ably considered the case. Mr. BULLOCK said the Commissioners had made a representation to the Lords of the Treasury on behalf of the men, and the pardon was expected to be sent down every hour. Mr. BRODERIP said he was heartily glad to hear it. TYRANNY AND CRUELTY AT SEA —EXTRAOR DINARY CASE.—Yesterday very great curiosity and interest were excited by the appearance of a Lascar crew of an East Indiaman, lately arrived from Cal cutta, who attended for the purpose of lodging complaints against the Captain and officers of the ship, for cruelty and various assaults commuted upon them during their voyage to England. They apnoplie interpreter for t ‘ h v i e t i first t e i m m : i‘ o i n r. Tu i3 e A s( L ia L y A , NT b u iN t E having t them to procure one, and to bring their serang (boatswain) on the following day. Yesterday forty of them came down to the Office in a body, and they remained in the street, where their presence attracted a large multitude of persons until the close of the usual business of the office, when five of their number, with their " head man" as interpreter, and the tindal (boatswain's mate), were brought into the office. One of them said that an officer ordered him to lash a rope, but the gunner at the same time ordered him to do something else, when the officer knocked him down. This assault was committed on the day the vessel arrived at St. Helena, and 15 days afterwards the same officer beat him with a rope while he was at the wheel. A second, a Ml hometan, who was sworn on the Koran, complained that the second officer beat him with his clenched fists and knocked out two of his teeth. The tindal, who had preserved the teeth, produced them. A third stated that " one of his eyes had been knocked out" by a violent blow from the second officer, and that when he found his eye was closed he beat him with a rope. The man could not see nut of his eye, and Mr. BRODERIP, observing that the eye was injured, par ticularly questioned the man, through the medium of the interpreter, as to whether it was caused by blows from the officer, and he said it was. A fourth had nearly lost the sight of both eyes from the se- vere blows he received from one of the officer, A fifth said the Captain heat him , everely about the head with a piece of wood, and produced his shirt, which was covered with blood. The interpreter said the whole of the crew. sixty. two in number, had been ill-used by the Captain and officers, and repeatedly beaten and flagged with a piece of bamboo as thick and as long as a man's arm, and av. ry hard and long hand-rope, which were produced for the Mav,istrate's inspection. He saw the Captain one day drag a man up to the yard arm, and on another occasion he threw seven buckets of water on a man. Many of the crew had been severely injured, and he had heard the Captain td the officers to break their - beads, and he would stand the consequences. Mr, BRODERIP, after examining several of the men, grunted warrants against the Captain and three officers of the ship, and directed the interpreter acquaint the men that their alleged grievances should be inquired into. and is is t:hni customary, itt hneo, ouirnisii bung,,u},httei te f hu_s_rm am A curious museum is now exhibited at Paris ; it consists of a complve collection of the instruments of punishment in use at Algiers.
