The insolvent, who was not opposed, kad lifetinto difficulties to a great extent ; and, at the meeting W the c re di tors, a Mr. Quinland, a creditor for upwards . 5OO/., was chosen assignee, to whom the insolvent .!rigged all his property, which fetched, on being sold, 4 1'y little more than 1001.—Discharged. Robert Wilson, the captain of a trading vessel, was %Ought np on his petition to be discharged. The insol hat's debts consisted principally of money borrowed from iti e L ado, which he never had the gratitude to return, or Z Pay interest for. The insolvent bad 500/. with Hs bite, and was i n expectat i on o f more money on t h e death hie sitter. There being no creditor to oppose, the losolvent was ordered to be discharged. James Carter, a coffee-shop keeper, late of White Cross treet t,,t, Whose discharge was not opposed, stated, that on ttflourutohge e t h a e nai c n o g ffe i e- n s ; hop in question he agreed to give 301. eight, he paid th it amount in three bills at Prolin and twelve months, all of which he was na 'aa to honour, in consequence of the coffee-shop g a bad speculation.—Discharged.

Then did you apply to any iile°4 creditors to know if they would consent to your barge Ins ' olvent—No, I did not. A ti 4n COMMISSIONER—Giving a man the benefit of th e ip,,j. t aree time s in three years is rather oftener than I am 1; 411 ad to grant it, unless it is cleatly shown that he has ti nfortunate.

BANK MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) This morning a quarterly General Court of the proprie tors of Bank Stock was held in order to consider of a dividend. The chair was taken at 12 o'clock precisely by the Governor, R. M. Raikes, Esq., who was accompanied by most of the Directors. _ The minutes of the last Court were read by the secre tary and confirmed. The Governor acquainted the Court that the Directors bad come to the re,o'ution of recommending that a dividend of 4/. per cent. should he declared for the half year, ending 10th October next, and moved accordingly. Mr. WILLIAMS said, before the question was put, he wished to say that be bad seen a statement in one of the Monthly Magazines respecting a sum of four millions, as being the amount of notes now outstanding. He did not know how such a statement could get there, and wished to know whether it was correct. The GOVIERNOR said the publication bad been made before a Cm3mittee of the House of Commons, and be believed it was correct. It contained the whole of the notes now outstanding. Mr. WILLIAMS had another question to put, which was, whether any part of the dividend was taken out of the c &pits! or annuity fund. The GOVERNOR said that the whole of the dividend was declared out of the interest and profits, without at all trenching upon the Capital or Annuity Fund. In answer to a question from another proprietor, the Governor steted, that the valuation of the Annuity Fund, which was put down at ten millions, had been calculated from the amount which such annuities would bring if thrown into the market. Also that when Government paid to the Bank that part of the debt which was to be reduced, it would be at the option of the proprietors whether it should be distributed amongst them or employed in any other way. A meeting would be called for the purpose of deciding on the question as soon as the money had been received. The question of the dividend was then put, and carried unanimously. The Goa-zillion. gave notice that the dividend warrants would be ready on the 11th of October. The Court then adjourned. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY, (THIS DAY.) At one o'clock this morning, a meeting of the Share holders of the London and Birmingham Railway was held at the City of London T tvern, ISAAC SOLLY, E.g., in the chair, for the purpose of receiving the report of the pro ceedings of the Directors, and of formally electing the Directors under the Act of Parliament. The Report, which seemed to give universal satisfaction, was agreed to ; and the Directors having been appointed, the meeting broke up. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

In the townland of Taranaghmore, near Kells, in the county of Antrim, Miss Sarah Canning put under a turkey-hen, in the beginning of last July, 20 eggs of the turkey species. After allowing the turkey to sit eight days, the lady added 20 common hen eggs. After a lapse of 21 days more, 40 living birds were produced ! Twenty turkeys, and as many hen chickens, followed the same corntnon parent, and all arrived at a certain degree of maturity.—Belfast Paper. The published plan of the London and Brighton Railway makes the line as nearly as passible di rect from Kennington Common to the entrance of Brigh ton a distance of about forty-seven miles, and the passage is to be made in two hours. The line of road runs to Streatham, east of 'Mitcham and Sutton to Merstbam, leaving Riegate about four miles to the west, on to Hor ley and Worth, passing Crawley about a mile westward to within a mile of Cuckfield, and on through Hurstperpoint and Patchem to Brighton. Branch toads are contem plated, one from ❑ear Cuckfield to Lewis and Hastings, another commencing at Horley through Crawley, a little south-esst of Horsham, and passing close to Steyning and Bramber on to New Shoreham. There is a third line laid down along the Sussex coast through Shoreham, Worthing, Littlehampton, Chichester, Havant, Cosham, Fareham, and ending at Southampton. The estimated expense is 850,0001. It appears that at present about six hundred persons pass daily, upon the average of the year, from London to Brighton ; they culculate on being able to carry passengers for about eight shillings, or two pence a mile. The coaches at present are taking people for seven shillings, so great is the competition on the road. We labour under a mistake in supposing that the flesh of the young carrion crow is rank and unpalat able. It is fully as good as that of the rook; and I be lieve that nobody who is accustomed to eat rook-pie will deny that rook-pie is nearly, if not quite, as good as pigeon pie. having fully satisfied myself of the delicacy of the flesh of young carrion crows, I once caused a pie of these birds to be served up to two convalescent friends, whose stomachs would have yearned spasmodically had they know❑ the nature of the dish. I had the satisfaction of seeing them make a hearty meal upon what they con sidered pigeon-pie.— Charles Waterton. Gardner's Magazine. Wednesday a fight took place between two men, named Lynch and Keating, employed in Casey's brewery, near Bagenals town. During the scuffle the parties approached the " mash•tun," or kieve, when Keating seized on his antagonist and threw him into the liquid, the heat of which was supposed to be at leaft ISO degrees at the time. Lynch was most dreadfully scalded, and though medical attendance was instantaneously pro cured, there are but little hopes entertained of his reco very. Keating has absconded.—Carlow Sentinel. SLAVERY IN AMERICA A CENTURY AGO. David Jones, a saddler, a middle-aged man, who bad for some time lived at Nottingham, being at Bristol met a person there, who, after giving him some account of Georgia, asked whether he would go thither, adding his trade (that of a saddler) was an exceeding good trade there, upon which he might live creditably and comfortably. He objected his want of money to pay his passage and buy some tools, which he should have need of. The gentleman (Captain W.) told him he would supply him with that, and hire a shop when he came to Georgia, wherein he might follow his business, and so repay him as it suited his convenience. Accordingly to Georgia they went, where, soon after, his master (as he styled himself) sold him to Mr. Lacy, who set him to work with the rest of his servants in clearing land. He commonly appeared much more thoughtful than the rest, of:en stealing into the woods alone. He was now sent to do some work on an island, three or four miles from Mr. Lacy's great plan tation. Thence he desired the other servants to return without him, saying be would stay and kill a deer. This was on Saturday; on Monday they found him on the shore, with his gun by him, and the forepart of his head shot to pieces. In his pocket was a paper book; all the leaves thereof were fair, except one, on which ten or •welve verses were written, two of which were these— .' Death could not a more sad retinue find Sickness and pain before, and darkness all behind." Wesley's Journal. ANECDOTE OF COLLINS AND A COUN TArmAx.—Anthony Collins, who has generally been con sidered as a Freethinker one (*.ay met a plain countryman going to church. " Where are you going ?" said the philoloptier. "To church, s i r ." " Wh a t to do there ?" " I worship God, sir ?" " Pray is your God great or little?" "He is both, sir." " How can that be ?" " Why, he is so great that the heaven of heavens cannot contain him, and he is so little that be cannot dwell in my heart." Collins afterwards declared, that this simple observation of the countryman had more effect upon his mind than all the volumes he had perused, written by the learned doctors.

During the whole of the morning the town was in a constant state of excitement ; carri ages, stage-coaches, and every other kind of vehicle flocked in from all quarters, the foot passengers and horsemen at the same time pouring in in such droves as to make us look about for evidence of the badness of the times and the falling otf of this popular meeting. Still it has fallen off in every respect: the lodgings do not let so well as formerly, or on such terms; the country gentry are lukewarm; and, what is worse, the St. Leger, from various causes. has suffered a manifest diminution of interest will sporting men. About one o'clock there was a general move for the racecourse, and by the time appointed for the commencement of the running it had assumed its wonted brilliant appearance. The Grand Stand never presented a more captivating dis play of fashion and beau ty,while the stands of more humble pretention received their full share of support from those who wisely concluded that a sovereign for admission was " paying too dear for the whistle." The immense mass of people that lined either side of the ground gave addi tional interest and effect to the prettiest racecourse in the kingdom. Our time was necessarily occupied by the St. Leger, so that if our list of the fashionables be short our readers must take it for granted that want of time alone prevented our extending it. Those who met our notice were— The Prince Esterhazy and his son, Lord Althorp and his party, comprehending the Duke of Richmond, Sir John Byng, the Hon.

Up to a late hour last night, and again during the whole of this morning, the Betting Room was crowded ; and from the noise, confusion, and thronging round the tables, where the most influential speculators were seated, a stranger would have been lea to believe that business was brisk ; the reverse of this was the case. Very few horses were fancied, much doubt prevailed as to the jockeys, and those who would otherwise have betted round found, upon calculation, that the nature of the odds and the scarcity of backers of h orses wou ld not perm i t them to d o so with any chance of reasonaWe profit. The money laid out last night was chitily on Muley Moloch, Belshazzar, and Revenge, non e o f th e ot h ers b e i ng i n force. Thi s morning it was reported upon good authority that Mr. o,baldeston had consented to give up James Robinson, who would ride Belshazzar; this gave fresh energy to the backers of that colt, and he immediately advanced in the market, Muley Moloch suffering a slight decline. It was, of course, made a subject of remark that Mr. Osbaldeston should resign his jockey after The Tutor's wonderful amateur performances; but there is no wonder in the case; it is evident that they had been greatly deceived in their trial nag, The Saddler (a second edition of the Newmarket failure), whose race for the Fitzwilliain Stakes at once opened their eyes to the truth that their pet was ‘, no go." Various minor changes occurred after yesterday's races. Connoisseur sprung several points, and Dancing Master again figured as an outrider, entirely through the exertions of his owner, who seemed remarkably ele vated by the success of his horse Tomboy. Premising, that in our notices of the favourites upon this and other occasions we have been entirely governed by their public running, we will now add their performances this alter noon and the odds against them at starting :—Just as the jockeys were about to receive the usual instructions from Mr. Lockwood, Mr. Oslialdeston entered the weighing room, and gave permission to James Robinson to ride Belshazzar instead of The Tutor, for which he had weighed, Mr. 0. evidently being under an impressio❑ that be should have Lord Kelburne's jockey (Nelson) as a substitute. Robinson then changed jackets, &c., with Nicholson, and they went with the others to the stables. Here, however, Mr. 0. discovered his mistake, and, ob jecting to Nicholson, insisted upon Robinson's riding The Tutor, which he did accordingly. This shifting of riders created a good deal of confusion ; it certainly would have been as well if the matter had been arranged before going to the Course. On the formation of the ring Mr. Watt declared to win with Rockingham. The betting then commenced, and amidst a Babel-like noise and confusion of tongues we were enabled to ascertain the following to be the closing prices:—. 3 tO -. I agst Duke of Cleveland's Muley Moloch 4 to 1 agst Mr. Watt's Belshazzar 6 to 1 agst Mr. Walker's Alussulman 6 to 1 agst Mr. Rawlinson's Revenge 7 to 1 agst Mr. Watts's Rockingham 14 to 1 agst Colonel Crawford's The Mole 18 to 1 agst Mr. iNiostyn's Jack Faucet 25 to I agst Mr. Walker's Anne (taken) 25 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's Deceiver 30 to 1 agst Dancing Master 30 to 1 agst Mr. Chitney's Connoisseur 40 to 1 agst Lot 40 to 1 agst Mr. Osb A ldi s t on ' s T u t or 100 to 1 agst Carnaby About halt -past three o'clock the horses assembled at the starting-p ost , h av i ng taken the usual preliminary gallop before the Grand Stand. One false start took place, in which Connoisseur, The Mole, Lot, and Danc ing Master run some twenty or thirty yards before they observed the signal of recal. The second attempt was successful. The Mole jumped off with the lead, which was taken from him after a few strides by Tesane, and she as soon resigned it to Belshazzar, who, it seemed, was to cut out the work for the whole team ; accordingly he made the runnin g at a wretched pace, Muley Moloch and The Mole next him, and behind them Tesane, sister to Retainer, Lot, Deceiver, Forester, and Glaucus: nearer the middle was Revenge, Jack Faucet, Anne, and Mussul. man; Rockingham was in the rear, and Laurel's dam last of all. Belshazzar kept the lead at the same miserable pace thus enabling the ragged ones to keep up, and accounting for the absence of the usual tail at the Red House. After going about a mile and a quarter, Tesane, Lady Fulford, Forester, Deceiver, and sister to Retainer appeared to have bad enough of it. On coming past the Red House Mussul man, Revenge, and Muley Moloch took up a position nearer the leading horse ; and Rockingham, who had hitherto been waiting in the back ground, began creeping up, but still without gettiag into the front rank. Belshazzar continued the lead to the distance, where he was closely pressed by Mussulman, Muley Moloch, and the Mole, clustered round whom were Revenge, Glaucus, Carnaby, Anne, Rockingham, and the Tutor. Here Muley ran a few yards with Belshazzar, and was speedily shaken off. Mussulman then went up to him, and defeated him after a short struggle. It was now that Rockingham became conspicuous in the race. Just before the Grand Stand he went by Mussulman, and, without running with him, beat him very cleverly Ely more than a length. Carnaby was a good third, Belshazzar fourth, Glaucus fifth, and the Mole s'arth ; behind these were Revenge, Muley Moloch, Anne, and the Tutor; the others pretty well up. A bad pace throughout, and no tailing. The Cleveland Handicap of 10 soya. each, and 25 adder?. One mile. (5 subscribers.) Mr. Orde's b. c.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY. —To-day the sales amount to 1,500 bags. Prices remain as before. The Earl of Dundonald has a work, an out line of his own eventful life, nearly ready fur the press. At Seven Ash, Coombe Florey, in less than five weeks, the whole of a family of the name of Carley, five in number, have been taken suddenly ill and expired. A great number of children have been suddenly taken off within the last two months by fever. FIRE IN THE DUKE OF BEDFORD'S PLAN TATIONS.-On Monday one of the plantations of the Duke of BEDFORD, on Luseombe Down, Tavistock, took fire, owing to the heedlessness of a woodman, who kindled a portion of the browse amongst the plants. It was not immediately discovered, and more than three acres of fine firs, &c., were consumed. Its further extension was pre vented by the cutting down or clearing away several trees in the rear of the conflagration.—Sherborne Mercury. EXTRAORDINARY ECCLESIASTIC.—There is a Rev. Father, Cure of Colason, near Manilla, who always carries loaded pistols in his peregrinations. H e is a man of herculean stature, and robust strength; can demolish a moderate sized ham for breakfast, eat a whole sheep for dinner (the sheep are small here), and quaff a large bottle of wine at one draught, never using a glass. This worthy pillar of the church was formerly a soldier in the campaigns of the Peninsula with Lord Wellington, and i., notwithstanding his powers of digestion, much respected here in his new capacity.— Osborne's Account of Manilla and Singapore. The meeting of the charitable institution called the Hospital of St. John the Baptist, Winchester, ordered to be restored by the Court of Chancery, is proceeding with much activity; and the noble edifice, when complete, will he an ornament to the city, and afford a comfortable asylum to such of its inhabitants as may be thought worthy of being rescipients of the munificent donor's bounty. Two admirably-carved busts of his present 111Aszsir and of the Bishop of WIN CHES4ER have just been completed, for the purpose of being placed in some conspicuous part of the building.— Hampshire Chronicle. At a Common Hall, held on Friday, the free dom of Plymouth was unanimously voted to Lord Boring don, son of Earl Morley. Several gentlemen spoke highly of the services rendered to the borough by Earl Morley, and expressed their conviction that Lord Boringdon would tread in his noble father's footsteps. Mr. R. Bayly gave notice that on the ensuing charter day he should propose that the freedom of the borough should be presented to Lord Ehrington. A Report has been published relative to making a harbour at Stotfield Point, the property of Col. J. Brander, of Pitgaveny, and improving the present harbour of Lossiemouth, belonging to the Magistrates of Elgin. It is estimated that a harbour of four acres, with six and a half feet of depth at low water, and eighteen and a half feet deep at high water of spring tides, could be formed at Stotfield for 17,3891. 14s. 7d. ; of which Col. Brander takes a 3,0001. share. The expense of improving the entrance and increasing the depth of water in Lossie mouth harbour is calculated at 9,5921. 19s. 7d. The Quotidienne French Paper has translated an account of the affair between Mr. Macdonald and Lady Wedderburne; and, to show how well the translator was acquainted with London, he says, "The scene occurred in Chesterfield -street, near the place where the fair of May is held—May Fair." This reminds us of a mistake of the celebrated geographer Melte Brun in the very same journal of the Quotidienne. Giving an account of Hunt's meeting at Spa-fields, he observed that the magistrates had issued a proclamation to all housekeepers to prevent workmen in their service from attending. "1. Mahe Brun translated the term housekeeper, by " concierge," the door porter of an hotel, or lodging house. In a window in Warner-street, Coldbath 'quare, appears the following curious announcement : " Wanted, a dozen drunken turners ; half a dozen sober ones will be preferred." POISON 'ROM NEW HONEY.—A son of nine and a daughter of six years, children of Samuel York, of Farnington, died a few days ago, in consequence of eating new honey. They lived about 36 hours. Honey recently gathered by bees at a certain season of the year, from the flowers of some poisonous plants, possesses their deleterious qualities in a highly concentrated state. when fresh, and may prove fatal if taken in large quistitities.- -American Paper. STAG HuNT.--Friday se'nr.ight some fine sport was given to the hounds of Pennycrose and St. flu deaux by an old forest stag, started in Newnham Park, Plympton St. Mary. There was a strong field, and after a run of forty miles the animal returned to the neighbour hoed of the Park, where he was taken without anjury, and will shortly afford another day's sport. The dogs kept scent admirably, never breaking course, though, in the day's run, foxes, hares, and rabbits, with which the estate abounds, were frequently started.—Sherborne Journal. If 20 or 90 cwt. of charcoal, in a state of minute division, be put together in a heap and left un disturbed, spontaneous combustion generally ensues.— In one case charcoal was loaded in Manchester, says the writer of a paper in " The Repertory of Patent Inventions," and conveyed by cart to a distance of 20 miles. No combustion appeared during the loading, nor could the carter, though he carefully examined it, perceive any indication of it, when, at eleven o'clock, he left it for the night. At five o❑ the following morning, however, he was called up to save his cart, which be found on fire and nearly consumed. When Lord Ferrers was carried to execution at Tyburn, the procession was stopped by the crowd. The Earl said be wa s d ry, and wished for some wine and water. The Sheriff said h e was sorry to he obliged to refuse him ; by late regulati ons t h ey were enjoined not to let prisoners drink from the place of imprisonment to that of execution, as great indecencies had been formerly committed by the lower species of criminals getting drunk. " And thougb," slid be, my Lord, I might think myself excusable in over. looking this order, out of regard to a person of your Lord ship's rank, yet there is another reason, which I am sure will weigh with you : your Lordship is sensible of the greatness of the crowd ; we must draw up to some tavern; the confluence would be so great, that it would delay the expedition which your Lordship seems so much to desire." He replied, he was satisfied, adding, " Then I must be content with this," and took some pigtail tobacco out of his pocket.--iforace IValpole's Letters. ti EAST AND WEST."—A witness in one of the trials at our Circuit Court, on Thursday, in a case of assault, described the offender as taking up the unfortunate offendee and " throwing him east." This geographical minuteness seemed to amuse the Judge; but the terms eas t" and "west" are as common with the country people in the Highlands, and are use d i n t h e same manner as right and left ar e i n t h e S outh. The most graphic and ludicrous illustrati on we h ave h eard of this peculiarity was th a t of a Cler gyman, in a sequestered parish, who, on some person remarking to him that part of his dress was unbuttoned, replied with great simplicity, " The servant has been sewin g , on th e button, and she has put it an inch o'er far west --Inverness Courier. ; I COURT CIRCULAR.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The Soho steam-vessel, with her Moat Faithful Ma jesty Queen Donna Maria and the Duchess of Braganza on board, rounded the point of Norris Castle yesterday, at half-past four p.m., the Government steam-frigate Sala mander, accompanying her as an escort. The wind at this time blew very fresh from W. S.W., attended with torrents of rain, which determined the Captain of the Soho to lie-to during the night. It had been generally understood that it was the determination of the illustrious party not to sail from Portsmouth until this day ; but an hour or two previous to the steamer coming in sight, the Earl of Belfast, as Vice-Commodore of the Yacht Squa dron, received a despatch from the opposite shore, an nouncing positively that the embarkation was to take place that day at two p.m. Instructions were given immediately at the Squadron-house to fire' Royal salutes as the vessels passed through the roads, but as arrange. ments appeared to be made for the steamers remaining moored off Norris Castle until the morning, it was deemed expedient to defer the salutes until they again got under weigh. At six in the evening the squadron, the Castle, and Club-house struck their colours, and at the same time a letter was despatched to Sir John Conroy for information respecting the probable landing of the young Queen at Norris Castle. The answer, I believe, was that her Majesty had no intention of landing. During the night the wind veered round to W.N.W., with fair weather, and at half-past five in the morning the steamers got under weigh, and proceeded on their voyage to Lisbon. The City of Waterford steamer, with part of her Majesty's suite, arrived just as the Soho and Salamander were about to sail, and accompanied them in their course. It is the opinion of nautical men that, with propitious weather, they will reach the Tagus on Monday next. T he Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at Apsle House on Tuesday, and on his Grace's arrival he was vi sited by the Duke of CUMBERLAND. The Duchess of CANNIZZARO is at Brigh ton, enjoying renovated health. The fore court of Burlington House is full of workpeople, relaying the granite atones upon a new principle. forming Montagu House, tne north-western angle of Portinan-square, which, a quarter of a century ago, was the gayest of the gay, is now enveloped in gloom and the grounds overrun with weeds. It was on the lawn of this spacious mansion where the philanthropic Mrs. MorizAcu entertained the little sweeps on May-day. The exterior of Chesterfield House and the grounds are undergoing improvements. Hyde Park is not yet deserted. There are still from thirty to fifty carriages in the King from three to five o'clock. Count SURVILLIERS (JOSEPH BUONA PARTE) visited the exhibition of that extraordinary pro duction, Buonaparte Breathing, on Thursday last, and suggested some improvements. Mons. JULLIEN, who was secretary to Ro- BESPIERRE, is in this country, superintending a work, now in the press, possessing great interest. There is now building at Sheerness dock yard a vessel called the Adelaide, for her most gracious Majesty the QUEEN, which, as soon as it is completed, will be taken to Windsor; her dimensions are 49 feet on the keel, 62 feet in length, and 15 in main breadth, and 50 tons. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, SEPT. 18.--Our sea son is now at its zenith, and all is animation and bustle. We have had an unusually long season, and have to boast of a numerous list of distinguished visitants. They com prise—Sir E. and Lady Kaatchbull, Lord and Lady ' Milton, Lady C. Jenkinson, Earl Powis, Captain Davis, Lady Raleigh, Colonel and the Hon. Misses Strutt, Hon. Lady Blackwood, Lady de Saumarez, Sir Henry Bell, Hon. Mrs. Ferguson, Sir G. and Miss Bishop, Hon. Lady Palmer, &c. REGENT-STREET.—It appears that his MA JESTY'S Commissioners of Woods and Forests are deter mined that the regularity and external beauty of Regent street shall not be invaded by the names and avocations of shopkeepers being placed so as to disfigure the external view of the building. Onc of the firms in Regent -street was yesterday summoned by Mr. Te. - mnoon for placing the name on an ornamental coat of arms, contrary to the pro vision of the 2d of William the IVtb. c sp. 56. 'Abe Solicitor of the Commissioners stated that it was not his determination to proceed in other cases, provided the irre gularity was abated. The case was adjourned. The basement story of the National Gallery, instead of being made a receptacle of records, as at first designed, is to be appropriated to the much more seemly purpose of exhibiting such works of statuary and design as may by degrees be accumulated. It is not yet determined, we understand, who is to be the future lessee of the Italian Opera House; yesterday was applinted for the decision, but we under stand it was postponed. . - M. LAPORTE has left town for Paris, and has caused the remains of his wife, late deceased, to whom he was much attached, to be conveyed thither, for inter. ment in the cemetry of Pere la Chaise. ARCHERY FETE AT OAKENHAM.—The last of these Fetes for the season took place on Tuesday last at Luckley Hou.e, Oakingham, when the grounds presented a most elegant and delightful spectacle. Tne company bega❑ to arrive at noon ; soon afterwards the sports commenced. The grace and superior feats of the ladies were the theme of universal admiration. At six o'clock the company retired to the banquet roots), where a sumptuous collation was provided ; and at eight the hall. room was thrown open, in which Weippert's admirable band was stationed. The company, which consisted of all the. principal families in the neighbourhood, did not separate until past midnight, highly gratified.

L. itql.V ?Tyr " n _ ~,„ . , . the two barristers appointtqr - *, ist of voters for this borough, attendetrhittlaktit onduit House for that purpose. The disputed cases were but few in number ). and the two following were the only ones which, as in volving a general principle, were of public interest. The first was a claim to be registered preferred by Mr. Keppell, a bookseller, resid;ng at No. 117, High-street, Holborn; and as there are very many shopkeepers similarly situated, the decision come to is of some importance. The shop, it appears, is divided in two, and let separately to different tenants, together with apart ments above. Mr. Keppell, for his shop and a warehouse and apartments above, p lys s rent of 901. a year, but the taxes are paid by the landlord, who stands rated in the King's and the parish tax books. Mr. Robinson, the vestry clerk, said the parish officers demurred to allowing the claim, as they con sidered this not to be an occupancy of a house within the meaning of the Act. Mr. RUSSELL said the Act expressly privileged " shops, warehouses, and counting-houses," so that on that point he had no difficulty; but as respected Mr. Keppell not being rated he had some doubts, ind would consult his colleague before pronouncing his decision. Hiving so done, Mr. RUSSELL said the case , eemed to be one which the Legislature had not exactly contemplated. It was scarcely to be ex pected that where one house was cut up into distinct shops, warehouues, or counting-houses, the Com missioners of Taxes would consent to make a dis tinct assessment in regard of each. The Legislature had, however, recognised in express words the right of the occupants of such places of business, if of sufficient value, to vote; and therefore, although there might be some doubt on the point, he would give his opinion in favour of the applicant. THE BRITISH MUSEUM.--Mr. ROBINSON ap peared on behalf of Messrs. Forsyth and Hawkins, two of the librarians of the British Museum, who claimed to vote in right of apartments they occupied in that institution. It appeared that the apartments of each officer are quite separated from all other parts of the build ing, and have a private entrance from the forecourt, and likewise a door of communication with the in terior of the Museum, of which each officer had his own pass-key. The rates had hith , alo been paid by Sir Henry Ellis, the principal librarian, on behalf of the trustees, but the mame of Sir limy Ellis ap peared in the rate-books. Both Messrs. Forsyth and Hawkins had claimed to be separately rated, and to have their names entered in the books, but from the peculiarity of the case this had not been done. The case was one of importance, for, if the claim were allowed, a similar one would of course be preferred by the five other resident librarians. Mr. RUSSELL said, as far as occupancy went, the claim stood on the same footing as chambers of en Inn of Court; but he did not think he could come to a decision without knowing the terms on which they stood with the trustees. It might be a part of the condition of occupancy that they should not be rated. Alr. Donaldson, a Commissioner of Taxes, said that the assessment to the poor rate originally com prehended the whole of the building; but, on tak ing legal opinion, it was found they had no right to rate that part which was appropriated as a national depository, and they then made a new rate, confin ing it to the premises occupied by the officers of the establishment. The rating, being all paid by the trustees, was, as a matter of accommodation, lumped together in one sum. The Barristers, after consulting together, express ed an adverse opinion to the claim now preferred, and considered that it would be necessary that the claimants should get themselves separately rated, and themselves pay the rate, before they could esta blish their right to be registered. Eventually, how ever, the Learned Gentlemen agreed to postpone their judgment till this day. AN ATTORNEY'S BILL. In looking over an Attorney's bill in a case at the York Assizes, we see abundant reasons for the horror in which the project for establishing Local Courts is held by professional men. We must pre mise, that we are informed the attorney is one of the most respectable in the county ; and that, in noticing any items of his bill, there is not the slightest intention of insinuatin g that they are not perfeetlyregular. The bill altogether amounts to between 1801. and 90/. In it the following items follow each other:— Paid bill at George Inn, York, for self £ s. d. and clerk l3 12 2 Attending the Assizes twelve days 25 4 0 Clerk's attendance as a witness, five days 3 15 0 Paid coach-hire for self and clerk from York 0 14 0 £42 15 2" If the attorney had twenty cases, charges for time and expenses would be made for every one of them. By those charges alone he would pocket upwards of eight hundred pounds, while his expen diture with not be greater with twenty cases than with one. Were justice administered in Local Courts, there could be no pretext for these charges. The attorney would only be allowed for the time he was actually occupied with his client's case. We say nothing of the enormous charge of maintaining witnesses dur ing the whole time of the assizes. In short, the necessary charges in such a case as the one for which this bill was made up (which gives only a partial idea of the expense, as the client himself paid nearly as much to witnesses and others) were justice administered at the door of the parties, could not possibly exceed 10/. It is only necessary to notice these things to ac count for the inveterate hostility of Attorneys to the Local Courts' Bill. The country attorneys, however, suppose perhaps that they would be in demnified in some sort by the great increase of bu siness were there Local Courts, but the London attorneys having no such prospect, are hostile to them beyond measure. The good sense of the people, however, will not allow them to be much longer oppressed by abuses of this kind. The first duty of a Government is to provide for the due administration of justice. The great barrier or wall which separates Kensington Gardens from Hyde Park having given way, numerous workmen are now employed rebuilding the same upon arches of a new construction, composed of brick and cement, upon the old Roman plan. A PUBLIC NUISANCE. —There is at present in Ullapool, in Rosshire, a maniac of very eccentric habits. He has an insuperable aversion to all kinds of clothing, and acting, like most men, up to his principles, has deter mined to wear none. He goes about literally naked, enters every house without distinction, and when once in, is sure to remain a night. He requires meat only once in the two days ; but such a meal as would satisfy him would be sufficient for six ordinary men. He is in general in offensive, but if once irritated, becomes outrageous. It would surely be charity in the relations of this object (if any such there be) to get him placed in some asylum, rather than allow hint to wander about in such an un sightly manner.--Inverness Courier.
