ASSESSED TAXES. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER, 17, 183:3. GENERAL MEETING OF DEPUTATIONS FROM ALL THE METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATIONS. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a general meeting of the various associations for the repeal of the house and window duties took place at the Yorkshire Stingo, New-road. The large room of the tavern, capable of holding 2,000 persons, was speedily filled. The gardens were crowded, and hundreds went away, from not being able to come within hearing of the speakers. Sir S. Whalley, M.P., one of the Members for the borough, and many gentlemen dis tinguished for their zeal in obtaining a repeal of these taxes, were on the platform, and addressed the meeting, which was remarkable for the good order that prevailed throughout the proceedings. Mr. SAVAGE, of Marylebone, was voted amid applause into the chair. He said that the meeting was converted by the association of Marylebone householders, and by the deputations from other parishes, to devise means of obtaining legally their object—the repeal of the assessed taxes, and to protect their friends who might refuse to pay those taxes from the peril of unjust prosecution. He main tained that what they were doing was perfectly: legal and right, and that they would not be doing justice either to themselves or their children, if they did not come forward and declare their opinions on those taxes, and then manfully abide by those opi nions. —(Cheers.) The Secretary then read the report of the Corn m;ttee of Management of the Marylebone Associa don, showing the progress they had made since the first forming of the association. On the motion of Mr. PATON, seconded by Mr. O'NEILL, the report was received and adopted. Mr. BUCK (of the deputation from the parish of St. Luke) proposed the first resolution. The assessed taxes were an evil that had long existed—that had been patiently borne—but could be borne no longer. Thirty years had passed since he began his career of householder, and since he was subject, as well as others, to parochial and political demands. He soon found himself sunk up to the ears in the vortex of taxation. With difficulty he went on struggling; the tax collector had called on him again and again, and had not found him half prepared. The collec tor threatened, and then he found that something should be done, though he did not exactly know what. (The deputation from the Westminster As sociation here entered, and was loudly cheered.) Something was to be done, for he knew that if his children spent for bread the money he was earning, the tax-collector could not have it ; and he knew, on the other hand, that if the collector had it, his children must go without bread.—(Cheers.) Ile had struggled on and paid these taxes, and was never exchequered for what fell so heavily on him and his fellow-countrymen.—(llear, hear.) He would not delay them, but, like the Welchman of old, he would - come " slap bang" to his text.— ( Sir Samuel Whalley here entered the room, and was enthusiastically received. A person in the crowd cried out, "As old Ireland says, One cheer more.' " Another voice exclaimed, " Hold your tongue, you fool, that's the way you've spoiled the man.") They were not, continued the speaker, hostile to the present Government; they loved their King and revered him.—(Roars of laughter, and " Oh, yes, for taking the money out of our pockets.") He maintained they loved their King as long as he acted up to the spirit of the constitution of the country. It was certain that they could no longer pay these taxes. Like true Britons they had paid as long as they were abk, for John Bull al ways paid his debts whilst there was "a shot in the locker."—(Laughter.) But there was an pld adage, " When there is no longer any shot in the locker, the King loses his rights."—(Cheers.) He con cluded by moving the first resolution, which was as follows : " That this association having had recourse to every measure consistent with their duty as good citizens to ob tain relief without effect, are now compelled to declare that they can no longer pay in money those iciquitous im posts, the house and window taxes ; and that they will neither buy nor sell goods that may be taken from those already borne down by the non-fulfilment of a former Mi nister's pledge to the nation, that the entire repeal of these taxes Nhould take place two years after the ratification of pelee." Mr. BARRON, a very old man, who said that he had been 60 years an inhabitant of the parish of Marylebone, seconded the resolution. Mr. JOHNSON (one of the deputation from St. Giles's) said that they were not lovers of anarchy, but the supporters of social order, which they up held by endeavouring to obtain all their rights. The breasts of the inhabitants of St. Giles's were beating high in such a cause. It was rumoured abroad that Government meant to put down these associations.—(Cries of " When ?" and " How ?" and " Never.") He felt that Government could not, and that they dare not try.—(Cheers) He hoped that in a short time they would assemble in that room to celebrate their victory and the success ful termination of what might be called the "holy war."—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. sent on the evening previous to a meetin held at Lambeth a reporter from Mr. Gurney's office. He was glad of that, since it was a sign that Govern ment wished to know their feelings on the subject of ►he assessed taxes, through the medium of a short-hand writer of their own. He was glad to perceive that short-hand writer then present.— (Cheers.) The resolution was then unanimously adopted. Dr. WEBB moved the firth resolotion— " That the managing Committee be empowered to communicate with and call upon the householders of all the principal cities and boroughs throughout the kingdom, in such manner as may appear to them most advisable, in order to procure their assistance in calling for the imme diate repeal of these obnoxious taxes." Mr. HUTCHINSON (of St. Andrew's, Holborn) seconded the resolution, with was carried. Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY then stepped forward, and was very warmly received. He lamented the sub cerviency of Parliament to the wishes of the Go vernment, and was therefore not surprised that the people should be obliged to take the matter into their own bands. He had refused to become a member of the association for two reasons. The first was, that as long as he was their representative, he had a fit place wherein to urge his remonstrances against those taxes. The second reason was, that he held Lord Althorp was pledged to him indivi dually, and to them in the aggregate, to repeal those taxes next session. —(Cries of " Oh, oh.") He be lieved no Government could continue those taxes in spite of public opinion, and he felt sure that if they continued to remonstrate both taxes would be taken off. He then mentioned the fact that only one-half of the members for the metropolitan bo roughs had voted for the repeal of those taxes; and if the feelings of the people were the same as those of their representatives, they must be considered as lukewarm on the subject. The time had arrived when Government would see that those taxes could not be collected, and that the collection of them would create a feeling disagreeable to the Govern ment, and which in the end might be fatal to the constitution. If they persevered, they would have in the next session the 14 members of the metro polis voting for the repeal of those taxes. They fell heavily on the poor, and humanity demanded that they should do their duty.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. WILLOUGHBY, one of the Westminster de putation, proposed the sixth resolution That in order to protect such members as are now, or may hereafter be, prosecuted by the local authorities or others, for endeavouring to obtain the repeal of those taxes, the householders of the metropolis are respectfully tilled upon to assist, by subscribing such sums as may be convenient to them, when required, in aid of the object of the association; and that a committee be ap pointed to carry out the preceding resolution." Mr. DUFFILL seconded the resolution, which was carried. Thanks were then voted to the Birmingham Council, for baying approved of the proceedings of the metropolis, to the public press, and to the Chairman, after which the meeting separated. SURREY SESSIONS.--KINGSTON, OCT. 16. Several prisoners were arraigned and found Guilty of various offences, but there was nothing in the cir cumstances of their cases to excite public interest. One man named Henry Marsh was found guilty of attempting to rob a female at Ewell of her umbrella, and, to the great surprise of every person in Court, was sentenced to 14 years' transportation. The prisoner met the prosecutrix on the highway, and according to her own evidence attempted to take her umbrella from her, and asked her for a sixpence, but without abusing or ill-treating her. The licenses of the Surrey Theatre, the Victoria, Astley's, and Vauxhall were renewed, and the Court then adjourned to this day. OLD BAILEY. 'G SESSIONS. RESISTANCE OF TITHES. (From the Nottingham Review.) It has long been known in the county of Notting ham, that Southwell, the domicile of an eccleSiasti , cal corporation, is the regular hot bed of priestly supremacy ; what can we consider, therefore, as a better sign of the times in which we live, than an organized opposition to the payment of tithes, in such a district. The coke of South - well-cum- Scrooby, contains about seventeen parishes, in which the chapter of Southwell arc the possessors of the tithes. Some time ago, a lease of the whole tithes was granted, and the present lessee has thought proper, in addition to the ecclesiastical exactions which are already paid, to demand the additional tithe of agistment. It is necessary to state what this additional demand consists of; the tithe of corn, of hay, &c., is already paid ; but the lessee de mands a tithe of the produce of lands which have already paid their tithe of corn; he calls for a tithe of tt•,e increase from the milk of cattle fed upon tithed hay; for a tithe of the eddish after tithed hay is got; he asks for the tithe of cabbages, of turnips, and of numerous other Trifling productions; it is even possible that under such demands, tithe should be - paid three and even four times over in the year. Such a demand having been made, the rate payers of Southwell determined to resist it, and accordingly on Saturday last, a public meeting of the parishioners was called, in the sessions•rooms, at Southwell, when this demand was taken into consideration, and the Rev. John Thomas Becher, M.A., was called to the chair. There were also pre sent persons deputed from several of the other parishes within the liberty, to report the proceedings of the chief town in the district. It was resolved to levy a rate upon the parishioners, to defray the expenses of resisting this new demand, and legal ad visers have been regularly appointed on their behalf, to carry this into effect. IPTIVE OF TIIE VARIOUS OFFENCE SEVERALLY STAND CHARGED. . . Stealing in dwelling-houses 5 Assault, with intent to rob 1 Manslaughter We hear that a fiat has been issued by the Lord Chancellor, in whose court the cause has been bro►►ght, appointing commissioners of inquiry into the facts, which commission has commenced its sitting this weak, in Nottingham ; several witnesses have been examined, but of the nature of the evi dence we yet know nothing. We understand that several of the other parishes in the soke of Southwell-cum-Scrooby have al ready agreed upon taxing themselves to resist the demand. In this instance, the lessee is a layman, and not connected with the church, except by remote rela tionship to some of the members of the chapter, with whom, we understand, he is not at present on the most friendly terms. That, however, is perfectly immaterial, because he is in fact the representative of the Chapter of Southwell, and having made with them a bargain for the tithes, has a perfect right to make all the profit he can from his contract, and all the odium of such exactions must attach, not to the individual, but to the system; yet with such re peated instances of exaction, the admirers of things as they are, would persuade us, notwithstanding the constant drain on the pocket, that not only all is fdr the best, but that it is impossible to devise so perfect a scheme of polity.

RICHARD HEBER, ESQ. The remains of this eminent bibliopolist were removed from his late residence at Pimlico, to the family vault in the church at Hodnet, in Shropshire, on Thursday morning, attended by his old and faithful servant Nowell. Richard Heber was the only child his father had by his first wife. Mrs. Cholmondley and Reginald Heber, late Bishop of Calcutta, were by a second wife. Mrs. Cholmondley has several sons, all very young. Bishop Heber left behind him a widow (since married) and two daughters. Richard Heber began to collect books when he was quite a youth ; he never travelled in the east, as it has been erroneously stated in some of the journals, neither did he at any time seclude himself from public life. During all his trips to the continent he associated with the Savans, in the respective towns he visited. At the end of the Revolu tionary War ha went to Paris for the first time,- where he made extensive p urc h ases o f valuable books. Even then his Classics and his Eng lish literature, in number and value, exceeded these of any other individual. His subsequent journeys to the Low Countries, Holland, some parts of Germany and France, were evidently for the purpose of increasing his literary stores. Where there was a library to be sold, Heber was sure to be first in the field. He appears to have commenced purchasing books at auctions at the sale of the Pinelli Library, at Robson's Rooms, in Conduit-street, about the year 1789, after which period, under the wing of the little squat, but most intel ligent and very learned Dr. Gossett, Heber usually took his seat on the Doctor's right hand at all the book auctions in London, where, at his outset, he was a liberal purchaser of six penny articles. In addition to the libraries referred to in the former memorandum, Heber secured choice gems in the sale of the Duke of Bridgewater (where most rare and valuable English books were disposed of in baskets full to a lot), Mr. Townley, Colonel Stanley, Mr. Dalrymple, Dr. Gossett, Dr. Heath, Mr. Willott, James Boswell, Garrick, Meermann (at the Hague), Hibbert, o John Kemble, Lang, Broadley, the Duplicates of the British Museum, and Hanrott's. Three years ago he purchased at Paris the remaining portion of the well known Boularde Library, consisting of up wards of twenty thousand volumes, all of which, with the addition of many thousand more, some of them of high price, are still in the French capital, in his apartments at Madame Boularde's Hotel, where he resided when in Paris. In fact, Heber possesses a larger library in Paris, than any individual of France. His literary stores at Malines, in Belgium, are immense ; and at Brussels, the intelligent Biblio polist Verbest had unlimited commissions to purchase for Heber all fine copies of rare books. Heber's collection of Spanish literature is the most extraordinary out of Spain, and it has even been questioned whether it can be equalled by any individual library in that country. His books in the Portuguese language are unique. In modern Latin Poetry, Critical and Classical History,Local History, and Voyages and Travels, lie is said to be nearly perfect. Heber confined his collection of autographs to the manuscript letters of learned men, poets, critics, statesmen, and philosophers, of every age and of every country. With emi nent men of his own age he carried on an ex tensive correspondence during many years. Sir Walter Scott entertained a sincere friendship for him ; he admired his learning, and lauded his liberality in the loan of his books and the useful ness of his literary communications. Heber re ceived many invaluable letters from Sir Walter Scott, which we hope his executors will commu nicate to Mr. Lockhart, to be inserted in the Life of that great man. Heber, although never in the secret of the Great .Unknown, was regu larly presented with his Novels and Tales as they appeared "-From the Author." He, however, never entertained the slightest doubt about their • Dr. WADE (one of the deputation from the out ward of St. George's, Hanover-square) proposed the second resolution : CHOLERA.—We regret to learn that several , cases of spasmodic cholera have cccurred in this city within these few weeks past. In the month of August, what is called British cholera was very prevalent both here and in Leith, but few deaths resulted, and the com plaint did not create much alarm. Latterly, however, the severe type of cholera has carried off a good many vic tims, although it has not prevailed to such an extent as to attract anxious observation. It has also appeared at Dunbiane, Thornhill, and some other towns in Scotland, but apparently not with the mortal sweep of its previous visit. This observation applies to all the towns in the three kingdoms where cholera has re-appeared, and we are glad to observe that no interruption to business or domestic intercourse has taken place, or is likely to do so, from the partial return of this disease.—Scotsman. MR. O'CONNELL.—.THE GOVERNMENT. —As the season for gathering the " tribute" approaches, it was found that its collection was quite incompatible with O'Connell's quiescence, and accordingly he has addressed an other letter to the "people," verging pretty closely upon his by -gone acts, but not proceeding the extreme length, either in committing himself or exhorting his followers, which characterised his former productions. His abuse is prin• cipally confined to Lord Anglesea and to the appointments made by him ; but he insinuates that he expects little from the present Administration, at least so long as they continue in office any member of the late Executive. We believe that Mr. Littleton—he is certainly entitled to precedence —and Lord Wellesley, the Lieutenant under him, have both been already convinced of the utter impracticability of governing this country through Mr. O'Connell and the priests ; and accordingly we have every reason to think that the sound and plain good sense of Sir William Gossett, the Under-Secretary, and the constitutional principt:s of Mr. Blackburn, the Attorney-General, have much mote scope and play, and possess far greater influence in direct ing the proceedings of Government, and to the adminis tration with impartiality of the affairs at the country, than they had during the lieutenancy of the Marquis of Anglesea; and if the Government be sincere, and this system be per severed in—if the law be upheld with vigour, and the guilty punished when convicted, there may yet be hopes for the country„-Dublin Evening Mail. CAPTURE Of A FLEET.—Notwithstanding the great injury done to the salmon fishery by fishing in close time, and notwithstanding the heavy penalties at tached to the infraction of the law, the practice has been recently carried on in the Clyde to a very considerable ex tent. A gentleman of this town, who has two fishing stations, or " shots," as they are called, on the Clyde, bad occasion to go down, with a few friends, in a boat at the close of last week, and found a number of men and boats as busily employed as if no restrictions existed. Disre garding the number of the enemy's 'fleet, lie dashed in among them, captured three fishing•boats, two salmon nets, a salmon, and four poachers. The names of the prisoners being obtained, they were allowed to depart, but two of them have since been apprehended, and are awaiting the investigation of their offence. The tacksmen of these "shots" would require to bear in mind that they are not only prohibit e d from fishing themselves, but are prohibited, under a heavy penalty, from leaving their nets and boats in any place where they can be seized and used by others. The town of Dumbarton, which draws a revenue of about 6001., and the town of Renfrew, which draws a revenue of 2001. a year, from these fisheries, ought certainly to take some steps to prevent a practice so injurious to the trade and to all concerned in it.—Paisley Advertiser. E2-SHERIFF PARKINS AGAIN.--- On Wednesday another verdict was returned against this gentleman in the Superior Court, for a renewed indulgence of his pugnacious propensities. The plaintiff was Henry Thison, an Irish Special Deputy of the Sheriff, who undertook to arrest the plaintiff, whom he met in Broad way, in April last, by virtue of two writs, but was resisted by the latter. In the course of that resistance he pushed the plaintiff with a cane, but the violence was evidently of the defensive kind, and not greater than was requisite to make the defence effectual. On arriving at Mrs. Mann's the defendant submitted to the arrest, and gave bail- There was no proof that the officer informed the plaintiff before the arrest that he had the writs in question, or that be was a Deputy Sheriff, until after the resistance bad been made. General Lynch conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Parkins argued his own case, but in a manner, as usual, abusive to all around him, and inter spersed with clear indications that the opinions expressed by the medical portion of the Commissioners on the question of his lunacy were not unfounded. The Jury returned a verdict of one hundred dollars, and we trust that the two last verdicts that have been found against this unfortunate gentleman, which were little more than nominal, will have the effect to put an end to that kind of legal speculation which seeks to turn to selfish profit the visitations of heaven......

" That, notwithstanding the votes and professions of the present Administration, when out of office, to repeal these taxes, they have rendered them more galling and op pressive by causing the elective franchise to depend upon their payment within a limited period, thus marking and degrading an industrious portion of the community, and punishing their poverty as a crime by depriving them of their political rights." identity. During the last seventeen years, Thorpe, the bookseller, of Bedford-street, has been the confi dential London agent of Mr. Heber : nearly all his purchases at auctions and by private contract have been effected by this industrious and exten sive bibliopolist. Heber's single sheet old Bal lads, in black letter, far exceeds in value and curiosity the three large volumes in folio, sold for 477/. 155., in the Roxburgh Library, and which were at that time said to be the finest in England. Two or three years back his purveyor, Thorpe, made an invaluable addition to Heber's ballads, by purchasing from a private gentleman an immense number, in black letter, chiefly dated from 1545 to 1570. One item in the collection is a poem on the death of Queen Elizabeth, written the year she died, in which remarkable mention is made of Shakspeare. Although Heber utterly disregarded large paper books, he was peculiarly fastidious about fine copies. We have heard on good authority, that he purchased six copies of " Blomefield's History of Norfolk," before he could satisfy himself with the purity and fineness of the plates. He had an excellent and very expensive taste in the binding of his books ; of late years that accomplished artist, George Lewis, of Duke-street, has been his principal operator. Heber, we repeat, was not a mere book-worm ; in society of every class he played what is termed the " first fiddle," and en chanted everybody by his exquisite wit, smart ness of conversation, literary anecdote, learning, and universal information. No person enjoyed a joke, even a practical one, more than Heber. The very learned and ingenious John Leyden, author of a volume of poems, called " Scenes in Infancy," and Editor of the " Complaynt of Scotland," written in 1548, undertaken at the suggestion of Heber, inscribed it to him in tes timony of sincere esteem and friendship. Ley den was originally introduced to Heber by Walter Scott. On Leyden's first arrival in London from Scotland, he engaged chambers in one of the inns of Court, where Heber regularly assembled to talk over the works of the poets in olden time. The well-remembered, eccentric, and most erudite antiquary, Joseph Kitson, who was just then writing vehemently against the use of animal food, and Heber and Leyden were determined to practise a joke at the expense of Ritson's humanity. Leyden gave a literary Evans sold Hibbert's Library for 22,500/., and the Roxburgh Library for upwards of 23,0004 Mr. PIKE (from the parish of St. Luke) seconded the resolution, and said that there were 50,000 per sons in his parish favourable to these associations. The resolution was then unanimously carried. Mr. FARREN (Secretary of the Westminster Asso• ciation) proposed the third resolution. He said it was most consonant with his feelings, since it al luded to the conduct of the brokers, and since he could inform them that in Westminster, in one fort night, no less than 50 brokers had rallied round their standard—(Cheers)---and refused to obey the orders of the tax-collectors.---(Continued cheering.) He then read the following resolution That this meeting, impressed not only with the injus tice of continuing these taxes, but also with the misery that enforcing their payment inflicts upon all individuals in arrear, feel it an imperative duty to extend to their mem bers all the assistance in their power, and they hereby ex press their admiration at the public spirit of the auc tioneers and brokers who have so honourably declared their determination of acting no longer as agents and as sistants in so distressing their fellow men." Mr. BURSELL (of St. Pancras) seconded the re solution, and said that his parish was going on nobly in the cause. For the future those taxes should be called " ass's taxes," since nobody but jackasses would consent to pay therm. The resolution was then , carried. Mr. BIRCH, of Marylebone, proposed the fourth resolution. He concluded by moving the following resolution : " That an address to the King, embodying the fore going resolutions, be prepared by the Committee, and signed by them on behalf of this meeting, praying him to convene the Parliament forthwith, to take into con sideration the best means of averting the evils which appear to us likely to endanger the existing institutions of our country, should these taxes be any longer enforced." Mr. BIDD, of Lambeth, seconded the resolution, and mentioned the fact that the Government had e 4' . 71 • ' - -- ' PAA Aj e IPlt)it- '''l i (rt,i,„o-6 (),,,,„ • .., „4.-..",„....,. t ,..

Ritson rose from his seat, left the room in a violent passion, loudly denounc ing what he called the cannibalism of the party ; for some days he remained inexorable, but at length the persuasive manners of Heber brought him round, by representing the matter to him as a mere joke. Heber for several years partici pated once a week in the "attic nights" of Dr. Halite, at the Charter-house, where Professor Porson and the late Mr. Beloe were constant guests; and the venerable Dr. Rowth, master of Maudlin College, Oxford, and Dr. Parr, joined in these learned libations as often as they visited London. Heber was the confidential friend of the late William Gifford, editor of " The Quar terly Review," with whom he generally took tea at midnight. On the very evening Gifford retired from the " Quarterly," which he had conducted from its commence ment, lie took his farewell in a long and interesting letter which he addressed to Heber, in which he recapitulates the various gratifica tions that he had experienced in the progress of his management of that popular Journal. Lord Grenville has constantly acknowledged his infi nite obligations to Heber, in his election of Chancellor of the University of Oxford, when his Lordship was opposed by Lord Eldon and the thick and thin Tory clique of that day. Lord Grenville rewarded the Univer sity for their choice of him by presenting them with an unique and unrivalled edition of Homer. Heber was the frequent guest of Lord Grenville in his rural retreat at Dropmore, where his Lord ship's brother, the Right Honourable and most accomplished Thomas Grenville, generally made a third at the literary banquet. Some time be fore Heber left England, which we believe was in 1825, and on his last visit to Dropmore, Lord Grenville gave him a specimen of his poetry in Greek, Latin, Italian, and French, neatly written on one sheet of paper. When Dr. Hodgson, the Principal of Brasenose College, and Rector of Ewell, pro posed Heber to represent the University in Parliament, he stated that Heber was able to construe Sophocles when he was eight years old ; " is there," said Dr. Hodgson, " any other person at that age now living able to do so ?" Heber and Dr. Hodgson were staying with the Duke of Buckingham, at Stowe, when Dr. Hodgson was seized with the illness that ter minated in his death. This excellent man left Heber the trustee and guardian of his children. In addition to the celebrated per sons already mentioned, Heber numbered among his friends and associates Lord Stowell, George Ellis, Sir Egerton Bridges, Chantry, Croker, Dr. Heath, the Bishop of Exeter, Wordsworth, Sotheby, Sir Henry Ellis, Sir Frederick Mad dan, Dr. Dampiere (late Bishop of Ely), Geo. Steevens, Isaac Reed, Jos. Ritson, Professor Millman, George Hibbert, Sir Mark Sykes, Rev. Mr. Todd, Mr. Park, Mr. Edward Little dale, Mr. Justice Littledale. It is impossible to form any estimation of the number of his books, or the time they would occupy should they be destined to come to the hammer; but the most seemingly exaggerated accounts which have hitherto been published far underrate their extent. The sale of this enor mous assemblage of books, to do them justice, must spread over several years. We omitted to mention that Heber bought many of the very rare jewels in Messrs. Longman's Bibliotheca Poetica. Here this hasty and undigested me moranda must close ; an " Old Book Collec tor" was unwilling that Richard Heber should drop into the grave without a slight but, friendly tribute to his memory. THE IRISH UNION.--In treating of the union between Great Britain and Ireland, the public events which made that measure necessary, and the secret contrivances by which it was effected, no writer of his period could possess greater advantages than Sir Jonah Barrington. He was of necessity, through the position which he occupied, informed of the views and objects of Government, and of the occult means by which they were to be accomplished. The private agents of the executive were known to hint. He was familiar with the great leading men of all parties, and his natural shrewdness al lowed nothing in the Houses of Parliament, or In the political coteries and cabals, to escape his vigilance. His "Memoirs on the Union," just completed and published, claim estimation, therefore, as of standard value, and are consequently attracting very considerable attention. An enthusiastic Frenchman, a great admirer of the present Lord Mayor, proposes that, on the 9th of Nowniber, he shalt, as a mark of the respect of his fel low-citizens, be " couronne de LAURIERS." The idea ought not to be lost sight of. We extract the following from the Journal of Fribourg:—" There is living at a short distance front Vuissens, in V,e district of Surpierre, a girl between ten and eleven years old, who has taken no kind of nourish ment for the last three months, though her complexion remains fresh, and her eyes and countenance generally lively and cheerful. She can walk and run with her ac customed agility, and will sometimes mount on a horse and ride at full gallop. She, however, is not so stout as she was, and at times suffers from pain in the intestines, which are generally rather swollen, and become more indurated. She utters cries or rather moans, but whether from pain or vexation is not known. She appears to feel her situation, but cannot be induced by any means to overcome her re i pugnance to food, which is so great that she cannot even bear the smell or sight of it. Her mother relates, that having one Sunday left the child alone in the house, while the family went to evening prayers, an old woman came and demanded something to eat. The child refused, saying that her parents were at church, but on their return would no doubt give her something. She, however, prevailed at length on the child to admit her, and to go up stairs with her into a chamber, where she threw the child on a bed, beat her severely on the stomach, and then left her. It was from this period that the poor girl ceased to eat. We do not give credit to all the absurd tales which credu lity has created out of these circumstances, but the fact itself is unquestionable, though science has hitherto been unable to account for the phenomenon." SERIOUS AND DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.--, Yesterday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, Mrs. L. Merrydell, a lady of fortune, residing in South Audley. street, Grosvenor-square, was proceeding in her carriage along the new line of road leading from St. John's Wood to Barnet, when, attracted by the fineness of the day, she ordered the coachman to stop, that she might get out and walk for a short distance. While in the act of descending the steps one of the horses made a sudden start at the smacking of a carter's whip, who was passing by with his team, and jerked the carriage forward for about a foot, which threw the unfortunate lady off her balance, and, falling backwards, she struck the side of her head with such violence against the tire of the hind wheel that her bonnet, cap, and a portion of her hair, were completely cut through. Mrs. Merrydell felt but slightly affected at the time, and was in a few minutes afterwards enabled to get into her carriage, and directed to be driven home as quickly as possible. On arriving there she was found to be in a state of insensibility. Surgical assistance was in on examining the nature o f th e stantly procured, and, injury she had sustain d, she was found to be labouring under the effect of a violent concussion of the brain, and also a severe fracture of the skull. She remains in a state o f stupor, and her life is considered in th e mos t i mm i nent danger. Mrs. M. is in the 27th year o f h er age , an d only arrived in town on Monday last from Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, where she was married on the 27th ult, THE ENS UL A SUMMARY STATEMENT, DESCRI WITH WHICH TILE PRISONERS Cutting and maiming I Burglary 1 Housebreaking 8 Returning from transporta tion 1 Coining Highway robbery Forgery Forging the Goldsmiths' 5.1 hall !nark Horse-stealing 1 STATE OF MS MAJESTY'S GAOL OF NEWGATE, MADE UP TO TUESDAY EVENING.

They have bad, we understand, communications with the leading members of the Chamber of Commerce on the subject of the commercial relations between Great Britain and Bel gium, and the means of giving them greater development. The new position in which Belgium is placed by the re cognition of her independence, will naturally require the modification of such parts of her tariff as were created to her prejudice under Dutch influences. Ge nerally speaking, the tendency of opinion is towards liberal changes. The prosperityof Antwerp is making daily progress, and a very active demand for produce in general has for same time existed. This demand is, however, almost wholly for home consumption ; but if a liberal law of transit is adopted by the Chambers, such a law as is demanded by the most intelligent merchants here, and if the operation of that law is assisted by those improved communications which now occupy so much of the polilic attention in this country, there can be little doubt of a vast increase in the trade of this important port. The entrepots which have lately been erected, are on a scale of great extent and mag nificence; they are worthy of the docks, which are remark able for their excellence, and rank among the few real and substantial benefits conferred on his subjects by Napo leon. The ruins left by the late bombardment and siege are rapidly disappearing ; the place is resuming its wonted activity ; and, notwithstanding the unreasonable murmurings of a few wealthy Orangeists, the prospects of Antwerp have seldom been brighter. By a comparative statement of the navigation of the Sound during the eight first months of the years 1830, 1831, 1832, and 1833, published in the Gazette du Commerce of St. Petersburgh, it appears that, with the exception of the months of January and February, the number of vessels which have passed this strait this year have continued to diminish, which is attributed principally to the inactivity in the commerce of grain. In 1830, 8,965 vessels passed the Sound ; in 1831, 10,071 ; in 1832, 9,017 ; and in 1833, 7,316.
