A. Gordon, 100/. per annum : we annex the official record of their services. INlajor-General Sir James Henry Reynett, K.C.H., served on the expedition against Ferrol, in the Mediteranean, and in Sweden, and on the Quartermaster- General's Staff in Spain and Portugal, from 1808 to 1811; and was present at most of the battles and sieges during that eventful period; also in the Duke of Cambridge's Staff in Hanover. Major-General Sir Frederick, Stovin, K.C.B. served at Ferrol in 1800 ; Germany, 1805 ; Copenhagen, 1807 •, Sweden, 1808 ; battles of Corunna, Walcheren, in the Peninsula, and at the battles of Salamanca, Vittoria, Pvrennees, Nivelle, Orthes, and Toulouse, also at New Orleans. Lieutenant - General Henry Mon ckton served on the continent in Germany and Italy, in Ireland in 1798, in India, Cape of Good Hope, and the Mauritius ; has been fifty years in the army, and fourteen years in command of the 72d Regiment. Major-General Alexander Thompson served most zealously during the greatest part of the war in the Peninsula, was present on seven general actions, and three times wounded. Major-General W. A Gordon served in Holland in 1799, and Walcheren in 1809, and during the greatest part of the war in the Peninsula, and was three times wounded.—Naval and 141iitary Gozette. BISHOP PHILLPOTTS' MR. COURTENAY.—At the Athenaeum Club, last week, there was a ballot for a certain Mr. Courtenay, and some mischievous wag spread the report, Just before the balls were distributed, that this was the Bishop's Mr. Courtenay, whereby the candidate ran a risk of being black-balled. To avert this dreaded calamity, an anxious friend went round to each member, whispering, " It isn't the Bishop's Mr. Courtenay !" and coming upon Bishop Phillpotts, who is a steady hand et the club, he whispered, " It isn't the Bishop's Mr. Courtenay," whereupon the Bishop's bowed gravely, and the gentleman seeing whom he had come down upon, blushed and went on.— Whoever has examined the images in our Gothic cathedrals, will have been struck with their peculiar form and impress. Their attitudes, the folds of their drapery, their whole execution and design, bear an issimilation to the character of the edifices, of which they are part. The smaller decorations of the capital or the boss often show great grotesqueness of fancy, and pliancy of curvature, but the l arger fi gures , w hi c h partake less of detail, and more of the general effect, have an expression of stability in accordance with that of the mass. In all points these are s t r i c tly architec tural ; the crusader restsin unbroken sleep, recumbent on the tombstone, the saint stands erect in solemn medi tation. In other styles of archit ec t ure , we fi n d not an equal propriety of design. It is forgotten that sculp ture is for the most part seen in connexion with ar chitecture : it should be subservient to it whenever the arts are employed together. The sculptures on the fronts of Grecian temples, faultless as they are in themselves, have less of ac cor d ance w i t h t h at motion less character, if we may thus apply the term, which the Grecian style, more than any other, presents. The cen t a urs, in violent conte s t w i t h t h e Lapithx, are wh it hurlinghuge rocks at their op ponen t s , w hil s t women , fluttering garments, are flying from the scene of action. In the Panathenaic procession in the Parthenon, the horses bound with their riders„ and no one can look at thi s fi ne f r i eze, w i t h ou t feeling the impression of motion in the actual marble before him, most powerfully depicted in his mind. During two thousand years these sculptures have re mained unsurpassed, and it may seem little short of hypercriticism to question in any respect their pro priety as works of art. In the buildings of the later Italians, we find statues beautiful, perhaps, if they could be viewed apart from the edifices which they are designed to decorate : but, perhaps, placed in a niche or a pediment, they ar e entirely out of keeping with the building. Palladio, in his designs, has given figures with extended arms and distorted attitudes, and Wren himself, in his statues on St. Paul's, has shown some want of the architectural character for wig Al we contend.—The Builder. Western Times. SUFFOCATION BY A SHIRT COLLAR.—OH Friday Mr. Joseph Payne held an inquest at the Blue Anchor, Coleman-street, City, on the body of Mr. Harry Barrett, aged fifty-eight, a stock-broker. It appeared from the evi dence of Thomas Day, the waiter, that the deceased lodged in the above house, and on Wednesday night at about twelve o'clock went to bed rather worse for what he had been drinking. The next morning an acquaintance called upon him, and being unable to gain any answer to his repeated knocks, the door was forced open, and the deceased was band lying by the side of the bed, rolled up in the clothes, quite dead. Mr. Edinburgh, surgeon, said that, from the tightness of the deceased's shirt collar, he had no doubt that he had died from strangulation. The surgeon thought the deceased had got his feet entangled in the bed clothes, and had fallen whilst walking across the room towards the bell rope. Verdict—" Died from apoplexy." NOVEL SYSTEM OF DOG STEALING.—For several days past extensive robberies of valuable clogs have been committed in the Regent's and Hyde Parks, also Regent street and Portland-place. It appears that, generally, two well-attired elderly females, dressed in handsome cloaks, walk in company in the interior of the parks, and are fol lowed by two men having the appearance of mechanics, each carrying a market basket. When a lady passes, who has a favourite dog running on, the gravel walks, it is picked up by one of the women and placed under her cloak, and though at t!ie moment close to the person they have stolen the dog from, such is the respectable appearance of the females, that no suspicion is attached to them. As soon as opportunity offers, they carry the prize to one of the men, wbo quickly walks off with the animal, which is kept until a handsome reward is offered. THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—The dinner of the members of the British and Foreign Institute, on Thursday evening, was presided over by Lord Brougham, supported by Lord James Stuart, M.P., Lord Dudley Stuart., Mr. Wynn Ellis, M.P., and others of the Vice-Presidents and Committee. The soiree of the preceding evening was one of the most brilliant of the season, both for the number of ladies preseat and the excellence of the music, which was varied, well selected, and highly enjoyed by all present. TAMAR SILVER •HEAD MININGCOMFANY.-011 Fri- THE SUGAR DUTIES : . " That the duty upon sugar has always been levied by an annual bill extending from the sth of July in one year, to the same period in the following year. That the Act of last Session, chap. 28, expressly continues the present duty of 245. and 5 per cent. until - the sth of July 1845. Upon the faith of this enactment we, in commoa with other houses throughout the kingdom, and in the usual course of our business, had (prior to the an nouncement of the intended change) bought large guan o( this sugar is in our own warehouses, and part re mains undelivered from the bonded warehouses. On the portion so undelivered we contend that we are justly en titled to a drawback of the difference of duty, this draw back was allowed on all sugar so circumstanced in 1830, when a reduction of 3s. per cwt. took place. " We therefore considered that we were fully justiied in pursuing the usual course of our business, in keeping stocks duty-paid on hand, for our purcbases were made on the faith of a legislative enactment, and in the confi dence that the Government would act towards us in all good faith, and if they intended to depart from all former usage in regard to time (we have the high authority of the Hon. Member for Taunton fur considering the present proposition as such a departure), still we considered that with the precedent of 1830 to guide' us we were safe; fora precedent of this sort must be regarded in the light of a specific pledge, more especially seeing that the same Chancellor of the Exchequer is in office now as then. " We have limited our request for the drawback to sugar undelivered from the bonded warehouse, because we did not wish to ask too muck, and because its being so limited effectually closed the door against all fraud as to quantity or quality, yet we distinctly informed the Government that if they wished to carry the drawback further than this, so much the more satisfaction would it give. " The quantity of sugar so circumstanced which we held when the measure was announced and which we still hold, for it has been impossible to sell any of it, is about 550 tons, and the difference of duty upon it is upwards of 6,0001.; this is a largo sum for four houses to lose by a sudden change in the collection of duties, a change made, too, contrary to the express provisions of an Act of Parliament, and we contend that it ought to be borne, not by us, but by the public at large, who will be most benefited by the proposed change. Further, if we were not frequently to purchase larger stocks than those we now hold, we should lose the benefit to be de rived from the due use of our credit and capital, and unless we can look to protection from sudden changes in duty on the article in which we deal, we shall be con stantly exposed to losses of a very serious character. " The postponement of the new duty to the 14th of March, or even for a longer period, will afford us little or no relief ; on the contrary it is an injury, for it checks and paralyses trade in the interval, and the stocks of sugar out of bond will be far from exhausted by that day, though the consumption no doubt goes on as usual.—We are, respectfully, " GEO. CROSFIELD and CO. " JOSEPH HEAP and SONS. " RICHARD TAYLOR and SONS. " EDWARD P. PARRY." " In districts where the rural peasantry are suffering from want of employment and destitution, it is mere madness to suppose that the game-preserving system can be kept up by severity of law. If men be idle and hungry, they certainly will attempt to catch the wild animals on which they may feed. Let proprietors, there fore, look carefully to the condition of the people on their estates, and try to give them something better to do than poaching." And what makes men idle in the rural districts,l but the slovenly cultivation induced by the corn-laws ' and game-laws, and the consequent vassalage of yearly tenant-farmers ? The great object of farmers now must be to make the inquiry as complete as possible, and the best mode of doing so will be for those farmers who have had opportunities of noticing the evils caused by game-preserving and the game-laws—and what farmer has not had far, far too many such ?—to communicate to Mr. Bright, as chairman of the Committee, the substance of the evidence they can give. Witnesses summoned by the Committee will have their expenses paid ; so that, by the devotion of a few hours to this most important question, farmers may help to remove the most cruel remnant of feudal barbarism by which they and their labourers are op pressed and degraded. Farmers should come pre pared to show the whole bearings of the game-laws, for already are there indications that the squires think of giving up their special law as regards hares and rabbits, and retaining it for the preservation of pheasants and partridges. But this will never do. Hares and rabbits are at present more complained of than pheasants and partridges, because they are a degree, only a degree, less destructive. The minor is sunk in the major. But what is the fact ? We knew that overwhelming evi dence of the vast injury done to grain crops, in every stage from seed time to harvest, by pheasants in particular, will be offered to the Committee ; and we know also that farmers and their men will be sub 3 Dividend Amount 1 Name of Compatty, per of raw. re6e.

The abolition of the game-laws must be entire, and if the farmers who give evidence will state all the facts within their knowledge the result of the inquiry must be the TOTAL REPEAL OF ALL GAME-LAWS. Now is an occasion when farmers' clubs should be rendered realities by the introduction of this topic, and by de putine, some one of their body to give evidence before the Committee. Farmers must begin to think and act for themselves. They should form societies to discuss their real grievances, and they should support each other in firm and business-like demands for their removal. There is no other body of capitalists who would submit to be devoured in detail as the farmers have been by the rent-loving landlords ; and nothing but a combined action on the part of tenant-farmers is necessary to emancipate them once and for ever. The landowners could never resist any real pres sure on the part of the farmers—not one in fifty— be his rental what it may—could find capital to stock and manage a thousand acres without extreme in convenience; and not one in a thousand, having stocked it, could continue its cultivation without a yearly loss far beyond his whole rent. It is only because tenant-farmers do not co-operate with each other that they have been, one by one, ground down to the dust by the landowners. Let this Game-law Committee be made the occasion fcr the commence ment of such co-operation by tenant-farmers for their own protection. day a special meeting of this Company was held at the office of Mr. Stainshy, No. 44, Finsbury square. The chair was taken by Joseph Grout, Esq., who spoke of the advantages that would be likely to accrue from smelting at the works, and proposed a resolution for that purpose, and fur raising the necessary capital for constructing the works necessary, which was estimated at 9,6001. After a short discussion, the resolution was passed unanimously, and the meeting ad- ' journed. HANGING BY PROSY. --A stupid story of an Eng lishman having been condemned to death in England, but permitted to be hanged by proxy if he could find a substi tute, and of his having offered an enormous sum by way of inducing some person to take his place, appeared in all the French journals two or three years ago. The same story— if we are to believe the journals—has just been got up again by a wag of Tarbes, who has announced that the sum offered is 7,000,000 f., to be divided equally among seven persons, on condition of one of them consenting to be hanged in the place of the Englishman. We are gravely assured that the Prefect of Tarbes has been beset by applicants for information on the subject, in order that they may obtain the promised sum, with a view of sacrificing themselves for their families, and that he has had great difficulty in making them believe that they have been hoaxed.— Galignani. FRES-TRADE CLUB.—We are happy to inform our readers that this Club is now fairly established, and that the Committee had their first house-dinner, on Saturday evening last, at their house, No. 27, Regent-street. The dinner was provided by the steward, and gave great sa tisfaction. Among the gentlemen who sat down, we noticed—Major-General Briggs, in the Chair ; John Lewis Ricardo, Esq., M.P. ; W. D. Christie, Esq., M.P. ; Wynn Ellis, Esq., M.P. ; Thomas Milner Gibson, Esq., M.P. ; lion. Charles Pelham Villiers, M.P. ; Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P. ; John Bright, Esq., M.P. • James Wilson, Esq. ; Ralph Ricardo, Esq. ; W. A:Wilkin son, Esq., &c. PRENCIa PLATS.—The first performance of Robert Macaire attracted on Friday night the fullest house of the season. Amongst the audience we observed the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, the Earl of Morning ton, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, Col. and Lady Mary Fox, Lady Anstruther, L'idy Selina Bridgman, Mrs. Denistoun, Duke of Montrose, Lord Duncannon, Earl Bruce, Sir H. Mildmay, Sir Henry and Lady Meux, Lady and Miss Quentin, Earl of Shelburne, Sir Henry Webster, Lord Lilford, &C. BILDESTONE.—UNFEELING CONDUCT OF A POLICE MAN.—Last Monday week, about eight o'clock in the even ing, as one of the rural police for this division was on his beat, at liitcham, he saw a young' man, named Gosling, having in his possession an empty sack, which the policeman de manded. Gosling replied, that if he (the policeman) had more right to it than himself he might have it, upon which a scuffle ensued, and, by the assistance of persons coming up, Gosling was taken into custody, hand-cuffed, and taken to Bildestone and lodged in a place called a cage, but more properly a dungeon, exposed to the cold, with scarcely any thing to lie upon ; there was a very small quantity of straw, but it was so damp and offensive that no human being would venture to creep into it. The Ipswich magis trates complained, a short time since, of the state of their cells, but compared with this place they are palaces. In this uncomfortable place the poor fellow was obliged to remain until between three and four o'clock in the after- noon of the next day, with the handcuffs on all the time. One of the Bildestone constables humanely carried the prisoner a pint of beer and some bread and cheese, at the risk of having to pay for it himself; but when the policeman came to visit his victim, he had the conscience to demand payment of the prisoner, and actually received the money of him. The case was examined before the Rev. Pro fessor llenslow, who immediately dismissed the prisoner. It is earnestly hoped that these magistrates' servants (for they are not the people's) will not be allowed to exer cise their little brief authority in this tyrannical manner, so that the better feelings of the inhabitants of this place may not be outraged by the repetition of such heartless and un feeling condud.—.lpswich 41Tress.

Thiktheatre was filled to overflowing on Friday, with an audiencW4n high good humour, to witness the last perform ance during the present season, it being also for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley. Martin Chuzzlewit, condensed into two acts, was chosen for the occasion, and Mr. Keeley as Sairey Gamp, and Mrs. Keeley as the boy Bailey, were hailed with great applause. Mr. Distin and his four sons (the Sax-horn players) performed the celebrated quintette from Robert le Diable, and were honoured with an encore. After the farce of A Model of a Wife, Mrs. Keeley delivered very effectively the following address : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—The last night of the season having arrived, it devolves upon me, as directress of this theatre, to address a few words to its patrons. The task is to me most pleasing, not less from the bright retrospection of past success, than the cheering anticipation of soon meeting you again. "Until last year there was a cloud hung so unfortnnately over this house, that at last the world looked upon the Ly ceum as Betsy Prig did upon Mrs. Harris—' They didn't believe there was no such theatre.' "By careful and fortunate management, however, the establishment, from a fiction, has, I am proud to say, become a great fact,' and in imitation of our larger neighbours, we have held League meetings here nightly, which have ma terially assisted our Treasury. But ours was a league only against dullness and blue devils; various were the forms in which we assailed them, nor were we scrupulous as to the allies we called to our assistance. First,we assailed them with the Forty Thieves, but finding, after a series of attacks, that even they relaxed in their vigour, we called upon the magic aid of Aladdin's Lamp and Ring, and as fresh occasion called for new assistance, we summoned from the prolific brains of our unwearied authors Valentine and his Savage Brother. With these we have occupied our dramatic field of battle, flanked with twenty new pieces of various calibre; but all of which went off with great effect. We have maintained our ground victoriously. " Gentlemen of the Pit,—You will be happy to hear that the revenue exhibits a most cheering balance. I have, how ever, several new taxes to impose, but they are only upon your kindness and constant attendance. I continue to receive the most friendly assurances from the authors who have already written fur the Lyceum. On them will the pen and ink'em tax fall most heavily ; but they will not object to it, even if it extends beyond - Three Years. They inform me that the late Budget, in removing the duty from Staves, will enable them to furnish me with Songs on the most ad vantageous terms. " Gentlemen of the Gallery —I have directed estimates to be made of various alterations connected with your part of the house. The gallery will be far more commodious, and better adapted both for seeing and hearing than the honour able benchers who fill it have hitherto found it. " Ladies and Gentlemen,—Such improvements will be im mediately commenced in every part of the house as will, I trust, tend materially to your future comfort. It will be thoroughly cleaned and redecorated, and the introduction of a new chandelier will render what has hitherto been a most enlightened audience, still more so. Within an hour after your quitting this house, scaffolds will be erected for the execution (don't be alarmed)—the execution of my orders to that effect. But I fear I am trespassing on your patience. "On the part of my frequent partner, Mr. Keeley, and myself, I bag to express most sincere thanks for your un ceasing patronage. You have been the means of shedding happiness for twelve months over many, many families. Pray be assured that your favour, so liberally extended to us in public, has been sincerely felt and acknowledged in our own homes." This address was received with loud plaudits, and a shower of bouquets were thrown.upon the stage. Mr. Keeley, as Mrs. Sairey Gamp, immediately afterward made the following announcement : " Ladle: and Gentlemen all—l don't know what that DEPOSITS AT THE ADELAIDE GALLERY; TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—About eighteen years ago I became pos sessed of a very curious relic of former times. It was a bottle so ingeniously manufactured, that it puzzled the most clever mechanics of the present day to say how it had been made. It was found at St. Anne's Well, near Nottingham, and I procured it in that vicinity. When I was subsequently at Edinburgh, a report of so interesting a memento of days long gone-bye in my possession reached the ears of Sir Walter Scott, who was ever delighted in antiquarian researches. He saw it—examined it very minutely —and gave me his opinion of it in writing. That opinion I will presently subjoin. But I first beg leave to mention that from tradition, and from other circumstances, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the identical bottle in question at one period belonged to the renowned Robin Hood,or some of the followers of that famous freebooter. Now for the - opinion of the " Great Wizard of the North." Sir Walter Scott presents his compliments to Mr. Rayner, and is greatly obliged to him for a sight of the very curious leather bottle, presented to him through the medium of Mr. William Murray, It differs materially in shape from any Sir Walter Scott has ever seen, and seems to him well calculated for the purposes of an outlaw forester." Having transcribed the written opinion of, perhaps, the most competent judge then living on such matters in the world, I was induced to send it for exhibition at the Adelaide Gallery, for the gratifica tional note of the visitors to that es tablishment, and where and until very t recently, remained for a the with number origin of yoa years, gir Walter Scott affixed to it. Hearing, however, that the effects of the Adelaide Gallery were about to be sold off, I reclaimed my bottle, which was returned ; but without the autograph of the great northern bard, and to which I attached as much value as to the bottle itself, or indeed more. Now, Sir, how can any person, in future, entrust to the managers of a public exhibition an article of value, who are so c ul p ab ly ueglizent of their duty ? The duty if the pr o p rieto rs of the Adelaide Gallery y ‘arestore my property in th e same state as t h at in which Iration it in their h an d s . h a d I claimed to r u depositedn from them th ey m i g ht h ave • ern had some excuse for their misconduct. I shall, therefore, feel obliged by your publishing these facts, and remain, &c., t. B. RAYNER.
