NATIONAL MERCANTILE LIFE ASSU RANCE COMPANY, Arthur-street West, London -Ledge. POST.—It appears that Mr. Nobler, the solicitor of Messrs. Rogers and Co., has suggested a mode of can celling the Bank of England notes recently stolen from the firm, so as to render the property valueless to the robbers, and that some of the partners have, in conse quence, had an interview with Sir James Graham upon the subject—the Home Secretary being disposed to entertain the proposition. The public would, no doubt, rejoice in the success of any measure the effect of which might be to defeat the ends of the parties im plicated in this atrocious case. The cancelment of genuine Bunt( of England notes to the extent of from 30,000/. to 40,0001., would seem, however, to be a matter that requires the greatest consideration before it is ventured upon ; and, with every wish to mitigate the injury inflicted on Messrs. Rogers and Co., the Bank Directors will, as they unquestionably aro bound to do, feel the responsibility to be a serious one of adopting for that, or for any other purpose, a scheme which may, on their part, savour of repudia tion, and tend to create a distrust of their genrral paper issues ; for, in the event of a large amount being declared cancelled, though confessedly genuine, certain is is that the majority of persons having money matters to adjust will be unwilling to have anything to do with the notes of the Bank of England. There would be another pal pable evil in the cancelment of the notes of the Bank. Such a step would be calculated to render bankers and others less careful than they have been of the reserves they retain on their premises from one day to another, a point worthy of every attention, for, the precedent being once established, it would look invidious in the Bank authorities not to extend the indulgence proposed to be allowed in the max of Messrs. Rogers and Co. to other respectable firms who may be placed in a similar pre dicament. CH RONICLE.—A meting of the soap trade, nume rously attended, v as held at the London Tavern some days since. The gentlemen present represented the ma nufacture of 50,000 tons of soap annually, and the reso lutions passed, calling for a repeal of the Excise duty on this essential article of use and cleanliness, show in a conspicuous light the evil consequences to the revenue and honest trader that result from the high duties now to Penang and London ; Velocity and Margaret, to Manilla ; Nouveau Tropique, 26th, to Bourbon ; D'Arcy, Sept. 4, to Liverpool ; Manlius, 21st, to Lout don ; Heroine, 21st, to Liverpool ; Felicity, to Ayyale.

Impressed with the manifold defects of all existing filters of coffee, arising from complication of construction, liability to be put out of order, uncertainty of action, expense in use, &c., RIPPON and BURTON have purchased a NEW VERTICAL SELF-ACT ING COFFEE FILTER, which is extremely simple ; it will al ways make the clearest coffee without trouble, it can scarcely be put out of order, and can be adapted to any description of coffee-pot in use.—Filters in block tin from 4s. each ; coffee-pots and filters complete in block tin from 7s. each.

Pattern. Pattern. levied. It appears that the recent discovery of frauds in large manufactories proves that it is impossible to collect a duty of 70 or 80 per cent. on an article so rapidly manu factured and so easily sold as soap. The repeal of this duty would be most beneficial to the health and comfort of the industrious classes, and would materially assist the efforts which are being made all over the country to improve their moral and intellectual condition. The noblemen and gentlemen who have taken an active part in promoting the construction of public baths for the working classes cannot fail to appreciate the truth of this observation, which is embodied in one of the resolutions adopted at the meeting of the trade, at which Mr. Wil liam Hawes presided, and will probably be disposed to afford their powerful aid in promoting the efforts of the trade in the next session of Parliament to obtain relief. The repeal of the soap duty would make the washhouses for the working classes, proposed in connexion with the public baths, far more useful than they can be while soap is liable to the existing oppressive exactions of the offi cers English Market continued quiet all day, s Excise.. — rre but the quotations were firm, and there do not appear to be any sellers. Consols were 991 to par ; Bank Stock was 2071 to 208 i. Spanish Five per Cents. were 241 ; and the Three per Cents. 341 to 35 ; Mexican were up to 36 1 1. Some of the Shares in the old lines of Railway were rather dearer, but there was not much doing after three o'clock.

TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS• At a season like this, when the juvenile folks Are beginning to count en their holiappear day jokes ; H h en numberless glad preparations To welcome the season of Christmas with cheer, E. MOSES and SON feel inclined to impress The importance of buying their " juvenile dress." If parents and guardians wish to be suited With garments whose value was never disputed ; If they wish for thei r y ouths to been lad ag in a way Which makes them look comely, ging , and gay, Let them purchase at o nce of E. MOSES and SON Those suits which such marks of approval have won. The " juvenile dresses" of MOSES are made In the newest of fashion, with beautiful braid; The dresses are formed just to suit tender age, And therefore your children are sure to engage. You'll not find them made in ass old.tashion'd style, Which often makes persons with ridicule smile; Their taste and their elegant neatness have won, Ten thousand approvals for MOSES and SON. These garments are made in a manner so firm, That really we're quite at a loss for a term. Your children may join in the juvenile sport, But they'll not hurt their garments, so firmly they're wrought. Then hasten this season, as thousands have done, For the juvenile clothing of MOSES and SON. A new work, entitled " THE COMMERCIAL PHENO. MENO ~" with full directions for Self.

I have always given a decided preference to a Cen tral Line of Railway, which ultimately extending its branches to different points of the county, must em brace and ali3orb the whole of its traffic, and only because the formation of such line then appeared to be hopeless, assented to the policy of seeking aid from existing companies, and of submitting to conditions imposed by them with a regard to their own interests. The Central Line being now almost universally popular, and ample funds offered to its Committee, their power of raising capital without shackling their proprietors, cannot be doubted. I believe that the natural advantages are incomparably greater, and that the cost of construction will, relatively to distance, be less on the Central Line, but were it not so, the benefit which that line of railway will confer on Cornwall and Falmouth in particular, with which my interests and affections are identified, would fully compensate for the pecuniary sacrifice to Cornishmen; with it, the Foreign Packets, so unwisely and unjustly removed, must inevitably and irrevocably be restored ; a restoration otherwise doubtful at the least ; in fact, our county may again become, not only the great highway of Europe, but its ancient intercourse with the nations of the South be most advantageously renewed. Believing it to be right and honourable to act on my convictions, rather than place others in a false position by my example, I withdraw my name from your Committee, and remain, very respectfully, Grove Hill, Nov. 30, 1844.

" In Horsburgh's charts of Malacca Straits there is a doubtful three fathoms bank laid down, bearing from Tanpong, Jatta Point, N. by E. 14 miles from Malacca Town, S.W. by S. 20 miles, and from Onjong, Bantan Point (on the Pulo Rupat), S.E. by E. E. 22 miles. This, I should think, was its true situation, but the depth of water is not correct, for in passing through in the American brig Antelope, drawing fourteen feet, she touched several times, and, it being smooth, there could hare been but little over two fathoms water, and which would be a dangerous shoal for any vessel drawing over thirteen fact. The man in chains had several casts of two and a half fathoms hard bottom. We were going at the time about four knots, with a fair wind." EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. TIMES.—This was the day for opening the tenders made for the fourth parcel of the Canada loan. At the close of business the general impression in the City was, that the applicants had received no answers, and it is considered probable that the tenders may not be deemed so satisfactory as upon former occasions. A new Dutch decree, dated the Ist instant, has been issued in English by Messrs. Raphael and Sons. The following is the operative part : " Art. 1. The fourth series of inscriptions of the na tional debt, bearing 5 per cent. interest, to be drawn for payment only, is fixed at 20,000,000 guilders capital. This series can, however, be augmented to not more than 21,000,000 guilders capital, if it appears on draw ing, that such extension is useful to avoid division of a whole letter or a whole inscription. " Art. 2. The drawing will take place on Saturday, the 7th of December, 1844, in the manner prescribed by article 3 of our decree of the Bth of August last. " Art. 3. The payment of the capital forming the fourth series begins the Ist of January, 1845, on which day the iuterest on these Five per Cents. ceases. " Art. 4. The fifth series of inscriptions of the na tional debt, bearing 5 per cent. interest, to be drawn for payment or conversion, is fixed at 10,000,000 guilders capital. " This series can, however, be augmented to not more than 11,000,000 guilders capital, if it appears, on draw ing, that such extension is useful to avoid division of a whole letter or a whole inscription. " Art. 5. The drawing of this fifth series takes place immediately after that of the fourth series, as fixed by the foregoing Ist and 2d articles, being Saturday, De cember 7, 1844, in the manner fixed by article 3 of our decree of the Bth of August. " If all the accounts that stand under the last letter drawn in the fourth series are not required for payment, that letter takes part again in the drawing of the fifth series, for the amount so remaining unpaid. " Art. 6. The price of inscriptions in the Great Book bearing 4 per cent. interest from the Ist of October last, to be issued in exchange for stock, forming the filth series, is fixed at 91 per cent. ; and accordingly there will be paid for each 100 guilders so converted, 2i guilders, but without any compensation for the diffe rence of interest since the Ist of October. " Art. 7. Those who do not choose to exchange their stock, drawn in the fifth series, into Four per Cents., must declare to that effect on or before the 28th of De cember, 1844, in the manner appointed by article 7 of our decree of the Bth of August last. The payment or conversion of the capital forming the fifth series begins on the Ist of January, 1845. The interest on the stock paid off ceases on the Ist of January, 1845. " Art. 8. The holders of stock drawn in the fourth or fifth series, which has been already subscribed in the voluntary conversion under our decree of the 6th of No vember last, preserve their claim to the conversion on the foot of that decree." A project is on foot for establishing at Algiers a Bank of Discount, with a capital equal to 40,0001. sterling, or 1,000,000 f. Of this sum 300,000 is to be laid out on mortgage, at 10 per cent., producing 30,000 f. per annyin. 0 This forms a guarantee fund. A sum of 350,00 f. is to be laid out in the same manner, producing 35,000 f. and the sum of 35 0 , 000 f. is to be employ ed in discounts, with three signatures, at 12 per cent. , pr oducing 42,090 f. The total amounts of these receipts is 107,000 f., which, after deducting expenses, amounting to 37,000 f., leaves a net profit of 70,000 f. It is proposed, moreover, to issue notes of from 51. to 1,0001., payable three days after sight ; and although the rate of discount has been calculated at 12 per cent., the present rate is estimated at 15 per cent. This plan is given without the slightest i n tention of recom mending it. Indeed, those who w ould be dis posed to embark capital in such an undertaking should. be aware, that in the African countries , w here there 1s a great disposition to form monopolies, many difficulties ich may be found in the way of working a bank, wh would be unknown in an European city. H ERALD.—As the case, Richards v. Macey, tried in the Court of Exchequer on Wednesday last, involves several principles of importance to shareholders in joint stock banks, and also regarding the liability and trans fer of notes of hand and bills of exchange, we shall recall the attention of our readers to the facts of the case. It appears that the late Borough of St. Marylebone Bank had borrowed 5,0001, of the London and Westminster, upon security, for the purpose of winding up its affairs. But this sum not being found sufficient, application was made for a further loan of 10,000/. This was refused, unless upon further security, and unless, too, that this sum should be sufficient to pay off the public creditors of the unfortunate bank. A meeting of shareholders in the Marylebone Bank was called, and several of them gave notes of hand to a considerable amount. A portion of these were placed in the London and Westminster as security for the proposed loan of 10,0001., and the pay ment of these notes was still further secured by the lodgment of the deeds of an estate worth about 50,0001., the property of Mr. Walker, one of the Directors. The defendant in the present action had given a note of 100/. at the meeting above mentioned. This note was subsequently placed in the London and Westminster Bank as security for a further advance upon overdrawn account. When due, it was unpaid, and Mr. Henderson, the manager of the City Branch of the London and Westminster Bank, sent the note, according to the rou tine of business, to Messrs. Roy and Co., their solicitors, without, it would appear, any specific instructions. And here it should be mentioned that in the meantime Messrs. Roy and Co., who were the solicitors of the London and Westminster Bank, had become the solicitors of the Committee who were winding up the affairs of the Mary lebone Bank, and it appeared doubtful in which capacity they received the note in question. This uncertainty was increased by the fact, that Messrs. Roy and Co , in demanding payment from the acceptor of the note, did not mention the name of their client. Payment, how ever, not being made, Messrs. Roy and Co. applied to the London and Westminster Bank for permission to sue the party, the account being overdrawn at the time. The Directors of that bank refused to sue upon the note, and chose rather to fall back upon the collateral security which had been lodged by Mr. Walker, as they were anxious not to be parties to any disputes or litigation that might take place among the Shareholders of the Marylebone Bank. Mr. Roy finding that the Directors of the London and Westminster Bank would not sue upon the note in ques tion, but chose rather to fall back upon the landed pro perty of Mr. Walker, which had been lodged as colla teral security, took the note to Mr. Walker and informed him of the circumstance. Mr. Walker sant Mr. Roy to his friend Mr. Richards, who gave Mr. Roy the money for the note, and immediately commenced the present action. The money Mr. Roy obtained from Mr. Richards he paid into the London and Westminster Bank specifi cally against the note. In charging the jury, the judge stated that if this note was given as additional security for the 10,0001. ad vanced by the London and Westminster Bank, they should give their verdict for the defendant ; but if they thought the note was given to raise an additional sum beyond that 10,000/., they should find for the plaintiff. The jury, after some deliberation, found for the defend ant, subject to some points of law, which are to be dis cussed hereafter, and which it is not necessary to enter upon at present. This case most strongly points out the advantage that will arise in future from the Act of last session, for fa cilitating the winding up of the affairs of unsuccessful joint-stock companies. had the Act embraced the case in question, no action would have become necessary to compel an equitable adjustment of the losses sustained amongst the shareholders, the powers conferred for that purpose by the new statute being ample, and easily en. forced. The bona fide question in the case narrated was precisely one of the description for which the Act pro vides, but it is not retrospective. FRENCH IMPORT DUTIES. A royal ordonnance has been published in Paris, which makes material alterations in the import duties on various productions of India, and other foreign countries, brought to France by French ships, and also in the premiums granted by the Government on machinery manufactured in France, and used in the international navigation. The ordonnance preceded by a report to the King from the Minister of Commerce, in which he states that the greater part of the modifications have for their object to encourage French ships to bring home, direct from India and other countries out of Europe, cargoes of raw materials, and other natural productions employed in the manufactories in France. The follow ing quotations from the ordonnance will show the na ture and amount of the new duties, and from them it will also appear that the premiums on home-made ma chinery are to be regulated by weight, and not ml valorem : The first paragraph of the ordonnance says :—The Customs duties on the undermentioned articles shall be established or modified in the following manner. All the duties are upon the 100 kilogrammes, except where otherwise noted : Wood and Roots of the Barbery—By French ships, from countries out of Europe, 10c. ; from other coun tries, If. 50c. ; by foreign ships and by land, 21.

The second paragraph is in the following terms : " The premium allowed by the law of 6th May, 1841, to steam-engines of French fabrication employed on board French ships engaged in the international mari time navigation, shall be liquidated according to the pre sent basis, and the entrance duties applicable to steam engines of foreign fabrication imported by French ships." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. s.—Orders were received this morning from the Commander-in-Chief, addressed to the Lieutenant-Governor of this garrison, Major-Gene ral the Hon. Sir H. Pakenham, to inspect the defences of this garrison, and indeed of the entire coast, and to re port to her Majesty's Government the expense of putting them into a complete state of repair to provide against any emergency. We believe Sir Hercules has from time to time reported to his illustrious relative, the Duke of Wellington, the state of decay into which the fortifica tions of this important fortress have been suffered to fall, and it is consequent upon those reports that the present commission is instituted. Colonel Cardew, Commandant of the corps of Royal Engineers at Portsmouth, will join General Pakenham in his labours. We believe it is the intention of the Government to remount the walls of this important position with guns, as of old ; the stone and earthwork will be strengthened, the moats and draw bridges rendered serviceable, the forts on either side the harbour and approaches repaired and strenghtened, and the towns of Portsmouth, Portsea, and Gosport, put into a state of efficient detence. The round tower on the right, the Blockhouse fort on the left, of the entrance to the harbour, the Sallyport, and other gates of entrance, will also be looked to and properly fortified, and that strong and commanding fortress, Southsea Castle, will once more assume its impregnable appearance. We are glad the Government have at length been aroused to the necessity of guarding against surprisal, for a more exposed or indefensible place than Portsmouth is at present does not exist as a garrison. At the present moment there is not a ship carrying a gun at Spithead, nor a sail in the harbour capable of firing a shot. A morning Contemporary has been misled in contra dicting the report that some visitors to the Gomer, when in Portsmouth Harbour, broke the glasses over the por traits of the King and Queen of the French. It is a fact that the glasses were broken as alleged, and new glasses to the frames were supplied by Messrs. Emanuel, Bro thers, of Common-hard, Portsea, silversmiths to her Ma jesty. We cannot too much admire the politeness which will not confirm a statement so derogatory to the cha racter of our countrymen. The Dwarf steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Chamberlain, was docked this morning, to have her screw altered. The Locust steam-vessel was undocked and masted this morning. The Rose schooner, of Yarmouth, Edward Miller, master, was run into amid-ships last night, about six o'clock, off Beachey Head, when bearing E. by N., by the Hebe brig, of London,;Mosey, master, when the schooner sustained serious damage. The crew were saved by the pilot-boat Nelson, of Cowes. The barque:Brunswick, of London, for Ichaboe, Camp bell, master, fell in with the wreck of the schooner Rose this morning, and towed her into this harbour. The crew of the latter vessel have since mutinied, complain ing of the vessel being leaky and unseaworthy. The Rose lost her mast level with the deck, her bows were stove in (and when we saw her the figurehead of the Helm was in the aperture), the roundhouse and caboose unshipped, the bowsprit and jibboom clean gone, and the stem stove in to the water's edge—indeed, the Rose presents a most pitiable spectacle of a total wreck. Her crew complain of the treatment they received from the master (Mosey) of the brig, as very unmanly and brutal. In Harbour—The St. Vincent, discharging stores, &c., for docking; the Excellent, Victory, Sparrow, Nautilus; Diligence transport; and the Comet, Fearless, and Echo steam-vessels. In the Basin—The Neptune, 120 ; Hastings, 72 ; and Scourge steam-sloop. In Dock—The Prince Regent (raz&ng), the Victoria and Albert, Vengeance, Athol troop-ship (fitting fur surveying service), and Dwarf steam-tender. At Spithead—No man of war. SHEERNESS, THURSDAY.—The Hornet, 6, brigantine, Lieut.-Commander C. Seaver, arrived from Spithead on Tuesday, and passed up to Chatham to be paid off. The Porcupine steam-surveying vessel, Capt. Bullock, touched at this port on Tuesday, and having coaled, left on Wednesday for the sphere of her operations. The Goodwill, navy lighter, Pledge master, sailed this morning with stores for Devonport. The Crocodile, 26, late troop-ship, was docked on Tuesday to be fitted for surveying service. The Herald, 26, has been undocked, and towed into the basin for her fittings. In the Harbour—The Ocean and Skylark. In Dock—The Hercules, Brilliant, Spy, and Crocodile. In the Basin—The Howe, Amazon, Vernon, and Vul ture, first-class steamer. ' I At the Nore—The Queen, 110, flag ship. dras, TIIE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very limited period; whilst " Rowland's Macassar Oil," with 'a reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a similar nature. Being u niversally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un ' principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as the " genuine" Macassar Oil : whereas the genuine article is wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son, and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials renders abortive any attempt to discover its component parts — thus pros in g the imposition of all other articles bearing the title of " 11facassar Oil." The genuine article has the words Rowland's Macassar Oil" on the wrapper.—All others are fraudule'‘'., cotuaterfeita I ~~~1~ ,7 /72 &; ~ ~~ THE FARMER AND LABOURER. CIRENCESTER, FRIDAY.—EarI Bathurst, Earl Radnor, Viscount Villiers, M.P., the Hon. William Bathurst, Sir M. H. H. Beach, Colonel Master, Mr. T. W. Master, Mr. W. Cripps. M.P., the Rev. Mr. Cripps, and many other influential gentlemen, together with e large body of agriculturists, dined together yes erday in the large room of the King's Head Inn, on the occasion of the annual exhibition of the Cirencester Ate icultural Association. Earl Bathurst occupied the chat . and was supported on the right by the Earl Radnoi, and on the left by Viscount Villiers. After the cloth was removed, and the usual introduc tory toasts given, several speeches were delivered, the more prominent points of which we shall proceed to specify as concisely as we can, and in the order in which they were spoken. Mr. JOHN NICHOLL, of Arnhall, a successful compe titor, and a great favourite with the Society from his strokes of humour, was particularly facetious on the pro jected agricultural college; and, with the view of show ing the evils which had arisen from colleges, he instanced the French and other continental revolutions, which he asserted had been brought about by students; and, re ferring to what was going on at home, he set the table in a roar, by remarking, in his peculiar shrill voice, " Look at Oxford, where there is a party attempting to do what the Devil himself and the professors together cannot do —bring us back to Popery." The compa n y obsiously I cheered this remark " with a will." The Hon. W. BATHURST—On an occasion like this, we ought not to forget the agricultural labourer — (Cheers) —whose comfort and happiness ought to be pro moted by us all ; and I believe that when we consider what is done by the farmer and the landlord iu his bee half, it will be admitted that they do their utmost to se cure these ends. We hear much of the axiom that "pro perty has its duties as well as its rights," and unques tionably it is so ; but I likewise wish to know whether the axiom does not apply to those who have property of all kinds, as well as to those who hate property in land? Why should not the rich man, lie who rejoices in what a certain Noble Lord called " the eloquent simplicity of the Three per Cents.," own the duties of property as well as claim its rights ? There is also the rich millowner. Yes, take the case of the man who employs a vast num ber of persons as long as it suits his interest to employ them, and who, when business flags or fails, thinks that he has a right to turn them off upon the parish to be supported by the agricultural interest. In this case it ought to be whispered into the ear of the wealthy mill owner, that " property has its duties as well as its rights." —(Great cheering.) I believe the true patriot is not he who bawls for cheap bread, when in his heart he means cheap labour and low wages.—(Great cheering.) But he is the true benefactor of his country who to the utmost of his power employs the agricultural labourers, more particularly at this moment, when from peculiar circum stances employment is so much needed—one who to the utmost of his ability is at all times ready to give a good day's wagen`or icgdt7tr - day's work.—(Cheers.) Several gentlemen having spoken earnestly in favonr of the farmer employing additional labourers, on the ground that his own profit and advantage would be pro moted by so doing, Mr. KEARSEY, a tenant farmer, said, that owing to the depressed condition in which farmers were placed, it was impossible for them to act so liberally as they were inclined to do to their labourers ; and thet so heavy was the taxation to which they were exposed, that in order to meet it they were frequently under the ne cessity of curtailing their expenditure, and unfortunately the first thing operated upon was the wages of the la bourer. He thought that all permanent improvement% ought to be undertaken by the landlord, the tenant being charged a fair per tentage for the outlay. Earl BeruunsT—l am ready to do so.—(Cheers.) The Earl of RADNOR briefly returned thanks for the toast " Success to the Faringdon Agricultural As sociation." Mr. Mreatecs, when referring to the necessity of landlords coming forward in behalf of the labourers, mentioned that on Monday last, having been informed that his o.vn tenants had deemed it necessary to reduce the wages of their labourers by one shillii't a week, he had stated to them that rather than they should do so, he would pay the shilling himself.—(Clivers.) The Rev. Mr. CRIPPS, with the view of snowing cut farmers would increase their profits by increasing the amount of labour on their farms, instanced his own case. For twenty-five years he had farmed from 60 to 70 acres in a large parish but thinly populated. Upon that land he had employed one-seventh of the labouring popula tion, although he did not farm above one-thirtieth part of the land in the parish, but be had found it profitable to do so, and should be happy to show his accounts, ex. tending over the period of twenty-five years, to any per son who should desire it, in proof of what he stated. Mr. KEARSEY—But, Mr. Cripps, you have other sources of living. Mr. CRIPPS—I keep my accounts separate. Mr. KEARSEY—You are both landlord and tenant. Mr. I). ROWLEY, the Chairman of the Cirencester Board of Guardians, proposed " Prosperity to the la bouring classes," but his remarks do not call for parti cular notice. The meeting separated at nine o'clock. SOUTHWARK LITERARY T A NSTI TUTION. Cl" On Wodnesday evening Mr. ... r l es M ac ki e de livered a lecture upon the or . , g i n o f t h e arts an d icienees, and the antiquity of freemasonry, with practical and musical illus!.t a ti„,. The musical departnervt was most Pfficiebtly per formed by Mr. Banks, his first public appearm,cv. Mr. Charles Maci.ay's song of " Tubal Cain" elicited much applaAse, and the " Death of Nelson" 1 1 was encored. The lecturer exhibited great tact in the manage ment of his subject ; rich and ready in his illustrations, keen and sarcastic in his irony. In his practical definition of free-masonry the fol lowing lines were received with considerable ap plause : " Iu Gallia's fields, when Euglish Harry fought, His drooping soldiers in their tents he sought— The man to-day that draws for me his sword . Shall be my brother was the hero's word: The name of brother touch'd each soldier's breast, Each grasp'd his arms, and shook with pride his evert. Th event is known—the boasters forc'd to yield, Fled, while the band of brothers acour'd the field; If thus the name of brother, like a charm,, Could frozen valour into action warm, What solid virtues 'mongst our band must grow, Who own a brother's name, and all his dutimas know." COURT OF COMMON C'JUNCIL. In the report of the division which, took place in the Court of Common Council on Thu•►sday on the sub ject of the petition against the election of Mr. Childs to the office of surgeon to the City police force, an error was made in consequence of the bustle and con fusion which prevailed. It was stated that the majority. were in favour of the petition. The following, how ever, which has been copied from the Corporation books, was the exact result : Petition of Thomas Abraham and others against the election of Mr. Childs as surgeon to the police read. Motion—" To refer it to the Police Committe." Amendment—" To lie on the table." Court divided. For the affirmative —one, the Lord Mayor, three Al dermen, forty-six Commoners, and two tellers—Total, fifty-two. For the negative—One Alderman, nineteen !corn• moners, and two tellers—Total, twenty-two. Majority in favour of Mr. Childs—'Thirty. The petition ordered to lie on the table accordingly. It is proper also to state that the words in th© Act of Parliament require that a surgeon shall be elected, and Mr. Childs, being a member of the Royal Col lege of Surgeons, and having a qualification precisely similar to that of the surgeon of Newgate, the medical officers of the army and navy, and East India Com-. pany's service, was chosen by a considerable majority from ten candidates to fill the office. DEATH OF Da. KNIGHT % OF MABISCIIAL CoLLEGa —lt is our painful task to announce the sudden and deeply lamented death of this learned and respected professor, which melancholy event took place yesterday morning. Dr. Knight had been engaged in observing the late eclipse, on Sunday week, when I e unhappily caught a severe cold; but having partially recovered, he ventured out to attend his class; and this, we rerret to add, was followed by a return of his illness in a more. aggravated form. Inflammation of the brain unhappily supervened, and baffled all medical appliance to arrest 318 fatal termination, which took place about ten A.M. Dr. Knight's sudden demise, while yet a little advanced be yond the prime of life, and while in the full poisessioa of his great and varied talents, must prove a loss, unC easily estimated, to the University of which for many years he was so efficient and distinguished a member.—• Aberdeen Journal, Wednesday.
