The COMMITTEE for conducting the ELECTION of Mr. THOMAS SAUNDERS, having received most gratifying reports as to the result of the present Canvass, beg to return their most grateful thanks for the very kind exertions which have been made on his behalf, a continuance whereof must prove ultimately successful.

THE LOCAL COURTS. and there is little responsibility imposed upon the pre siding officers. In the Borough and County Courts, the mode of procedure is generally complex and tedious, overburdened with fees and delay. To extinguish all these Courts, and to create a new system of local judi catnre, is within the power of any Ministry anxious to make the law accessible and its administration satisfac tory. But the beginning of the next Session would be " too early" to propose such a measure, and the end of it " too late" to carry it. They who recollect the manner in which Sir John Campbell delayed, from Session to Session, any active endeavours to carry what is called the Imprisonment for Debt Abolition Bill, will not be surprised that he is indifferent to the condition of the hundreds who are annually committed to prison for sums varying from one shilling to ten pounds. The cries of humble debtors have not yet interrupted his private practice. Can Lord John Russell, who for so long a time was iri com munication, as Home Secretary, with the Inspectors of Prisons, be ignorant of them ; or has he too been deaf to the poor mechanic and the helpless labourer ? It is now the duty of Lord Normanby to attend to this sub ject : what is his fitness for the task ? Alone he can do nothing ; and yet those who have hitherto been em ployed by the Ministry to aid them in the preparation of bills respecting Local Courts, have exhibited much ignorance of the law, greater ignorance of its practice, and an utter ignorance of the essentials of a good sys tem of local judicature. MONEY M4RKET and CITY NEWS. HANoVER, OCT. 12.—Our city will lose, next winter, a great deal of its usual society, as a great many of our richest nobility who usually spend the winter in Hanover will not be here. Baron Von Wangonheinc having given up his place at Court is gone to Paris ; General Count Von Kielmumsegge is likewise gone to Paris io visit his son, who is Ambassador of Hanover at the French Court. Count Von Platen Hallermunde, Chief Cup Bearer and President of the first Chamber, has re signed his office, and will not pass the winter here. Count Von Bremer, Master of the Horse, has likewise retired, and gone to Paris with his family. General Van der Deiken, Master-General of the Ordnance, will likewise reside abroad in the winter. M. V. Mun chausen, our Ambassador to London, afterobtaining leave of absence for a year, had arrived here, and intended at first to take a residence here for the winter, but he, too, is gone to Paris to remain there. General Von Alten, the Minister of War, has obtained leave of ab sence for nine months, and is gone to Italy. We could mention many others, more or less distinguished per sons, who have either left Hanover already, or intend to do so before the winter. CONTRACT FOR BLACK IRONMONGERY. DEPARTMENT OF THE STOREKEEPER-GENERAL OF THE NAVY, SOME RSET-PLACE, CCT.2., 1539. THE COMMISSIONERS for EXE CUTING the OFFICE •f LORD HIGH AD MIRAL of tho UNITED KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and IRELAND, do hereby give Notice, that en Tnuasowy, the sth December next, at One o'clock, they will be ready to treat with such Persons as may be willing to Con tract for supplying her Majesty's several Dock Yards (under a Contract for Twelve Months certain, and afterwards until the expiration of Six Months' Warning) with BLACK IRONMONGERY. c omprehending The ARMATHWAITE FAMED ESTATE IN CUMBERLAND, s ituate within 6 miles of Cockermouth, and 8 of Keswick. THE MANSION HOUSE is by no means large, but family comfort presides throughout, and preparation is in progress to add to it, sufficiently to meet all the legitimate wants of a first-rate family. It is seated at THE FOOT OF BASSINTHWAITE, here the confluence with the noble Derwent River takes place. It is one of the most admired of the favourite Lakes, environed 4 Y Pleasure grounds and plantations, and encompassed by a Domain of F IVE THOUSAND ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND, a portion of which may be greatly improved. The tenantry are HAPPY, AFFLUENT, AND CONTENTED. There are near 1,000 Acres, which includes THE FINEST WOODLAND SCENERY IN ENGLAND, claiming a kindred feeling with " THE MOST SPLENDID OF THE ALPINE MOUNTAINS." Together with THE MANORIAL RIGHTS, ROYALTIES, AND PRIVILEGES, A TENANTRY, HIGHLY RESPECTABLE; AND NO ARREARS OF RENT, WITH MINERAL` TO A GREAT EXTENT, WHICH INCLUDE LEAD AND COAL. To a sporting man it will be a most enviable purchase, as the game is in great -abundance, EXTENDING OVER TEN THOUSAND ACRES, and the Fishing incomparably good. " THE LAKE OF BASSINTHWAITE" forms a great feature in this interesting property, over which THE FISHING IS EXCLUSIVE. To an East Indian Nabob, or those in delicate health, it offers the certainty of a lengthened lease of life, arising out of the salubrity of the air, and the genial climate. Sea-Bathing is within ten miles, and the metropolis of London already reduced to A TWENTY HOURS' JOURNEY. The high turnpike-road passes through the estate for more than two miles, adorned by never-ending woods and thriving plan tations, with the Lake as an agreeable auxiliary, for five miles. It is almost FREE FROM TITHES, EXONERATED FROM LAND TAX, AND THE POOR-RATE QUITE NOMINAL. It is accounted THE LEVIATHAN OF CUMBERLAND, happily placed amid the surpassing beauty of this scene of enchant ment. En veriti it approaches an EARTHLY PARADISE. Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey, ranking high amongst the favoured of our living Poets, have preferred to congregate and reprose for a lengthened period in this hallowed ground. " 0 for the voice and fire of Seraphim To sing thy glories with devotion due !" It would be in vain to seek a parallel case. It should be observed that this faint outline is not intended to convey more than a few of the paramount advantages connected With this singularly eligible property. Mr. Robins would fain believe he has stated sufficient reasons for inducing those, who have the means, to seek (without delay) ocular demonstration. Principals only will receive the most satisfactory information, by application to Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden. THE ADVOWSON OF MARNHULL, DORSETSHIRE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL the very valuable RECTORY OF MARNHULL, 7 miles from Shaftesbury, in the beautiful Vale of Blackmoor. A capital Parsonage, a Glebe of 32 Acres, and THE TYTHES COMMUTED AT ONE THOUSAND AND THIRTY-THREE POUNDS A-YEAR. The Purchaser may be immediately appointed the Curate, and it will be explained (to Principals only) that VERY EARLY POSSESSION OF THE LIVING May be obtained. Particulars of Messrs. Roy, Blunt, Duncan, and Johnston, Solicitors, Lothbury ; and Mr. George Robins' Offices, London. FAMILY HOTEL OF IMPORTANCE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to DISPOSE of a First-rate FAMILY HOTEL (solely on account of the ill-health of one of the Principals). It is situate in the most fashionable and best part of London, not far removed from Berkeley-square. It is se highly appreciated for its undeviating comfort, that it has obtained a character which nothing but incapacity and neglect can interfere with ; its success has never been equivocal during any one season ; and a snug iniepenience may be relied on as a reward for active ex ertions. It makes up 40 beds including servants. During the season the rent from the best suites alone produces 3001. a month. It will require between 3,0001. and 4,000/. to accom plish it comfortably, and the clear profit may be moderately es tinaated at 1,0001. a year. The approaching Royal Marriage renders this a most desirable opportunity for any one anxious to partake of its advantages in so fashionable and prosperous an Establishment. Principals only will gain information, by applying to Mr. George Robins, Covent-garden. STOVE ON PRINCIPLES ENTIRELY NEW, AND UNEQUALLED FOR COMFORT AND ECONOMY. By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent. THE CHUNK PATENT STOVE, invented by Mr It. PROSSER, Civil Engineer, is distin *Wished from all ethers by its entire freedom from dust or 'Rieke ' its great economy of fuel , and it s p erfect safet y from ire. It has been a source of great comfort in the nursery and bed-room of he invalid, affording an uniform temperature through the day and night, with only one supply, while the most delicate test cannot detect anything arising from its use which is injurious to health—it merely warms the air without decomposing it ; and, as there is no door, none of the gases Reiterated by combustion can pass into the apartment. wherever warmth is required, this Stove is applicable. It is as desirable for the drawing-room as the laundry ; for warming greenhouses it possesses extraordinary claims, the very great expense of building flues, and afterwards the immense con sumption of fuel, being avoided. For workshops and ships' cabins it is invaluable ; it requires attention only once in twenty-four hours, during which time the cost will not exceed twopence. Price, Plain, 31. ; Fluted, Si. 10s.

HANOVER, OCT. 23.—The Bulletin of the laws con tains the following notice : " It having been resolved in the 23d sitting (this year) of the Diet of the German Confederation, on the 30th of last month-1. To prohibit immediately in all the states of the Confederation the sale of the work called Preussen and Pruessenthum, by Benedey Mannheim, 1835 ;' and 2. to sequestrate all the existing copies, wherever they may be found, this resolution is hereby made known to the public, and with this warning, that with respect to the prohibited sale, a penalty of 50 dollars will be inflicted on those who shall trangress. The Magistrates and the police are enjoined to see that this prohibition is attended to. " Hanover, Oct. 19, 1829. Department of the Interior. " J. C.VAN DER WISCH." BERLIN, OCT. 19.—The report which has been many times repeated, that Prince Puckler Muskau was likely to succeed Lady Esther Stanhope in the east seems to be really well founded. The negotiation for the greater part of his estates is said to be nearly concluded, and to require only his presence to consummate it. In the decay of the Turkish empire, the confusion which pre vails among the tribes without masters and leaders, and lastly, considering the bold and yet prudent cha racter of the Prince, his situation in that country might lead to very singular consequences. VIENNA, OCT. 17. Archduke Albert returned yesterday from his journey to Russia. According to the accounts of eye-witnesses, there are nearly 140,000 men collected in the camp at Borodino, besides a reserve of 60,000 men. Prince Albert was received in the most distinguished manner by the Russian Court. The Emperor Nicholas, besides giving him the regiment of Lithuania, presented him with the insignia of the Order of St. Andrew, set in diamonds, which confers the right to wear all the other Russian orders. BERLIN,;OCT. 21.—The President of the Province of Pomerania has appointed the Councillor of the Gov ern ment, M. Hegewald, to have the superintendent e o Archbishop Dunin. We hear that the Archbishop has plainly told him that, following his firm conviction, he will embrace every opportunity to comply with the orders of the head of his Church, which are that he is to profit by every opportunity to return to his diocese when he is not kept back by force. His sister has been for some time in Berlin. It is said that she has tequested an audience of the King, which she has, of course, not obtained.

The Warwick Advertiser of last Saturday animad verts with much severity on the letter from Mr. Hetherington, published in The Sun. The regulated gaol allowance is stated to be "141 b. of very excellent bread every day ; 11b. of good potatoes, boiled, five days in the week ; 1i pint of good gruel every morning and evening, except Sunday evening ; and 1 k pint of excellent nutritious soup (made from good beef, stewed) every Sunday and Wednesday." (No excessively sump tuous fare this.) The Advertiser informs us also that " The Secre tary of State, so far from having sent any order for Lovett and Collins to be treated differently to other prisoners of the same class (as we knew has been stated by the London papers) has declined any interference, and left it entirely to the discretion of the visiting Magistrates, who, in the deliberate and humane exer cise of that discretion, have allowed to these prisoners the following extra indulgences : " A room in the first or second floor of the prison, and therefore free from damp, and in pure air, which is occupied by them jointly, and to which they have free access at all times, as well as to the yard for exercise, whenever they choose, dcring the day ; a good fire daily in this room ; a table an two chairs ; pens, ink, and paper without restriction ; and two boxes full of their own books standing in the room for their constant and undisturbed use ; they are also allowed tea every morn ing and evening, a domestic indulgence granted to no other prisoners." With respect to the intercepted letter, its political allusions, it seems, caused its detention : and the chap lain did not exactly state that Lovett should not have Tait's Magazine to read, but, " having an impression that the work might inculcate the spirit of republicanism, did not feel himself justified in freely allowing, on his own sole responsibility. the admission of the Magazine, and determined to leave it entirely to the discretion of the Visiting Magistrates, and he accordingly left the Magazine in the hands of the Governor with a message to that effect." In the same paper it is stated that "the mind of Lovett appears to be perfectly composed, and satisfied with the treatment he receives. He has expressed no complaint whatever, and we verily believe he does not desire the officious interference of his intemperate friends.' We have the satisfaction of stating, on the authority of the surgeon of the prison, that both Lovett and Col lins are in the possession of good health. This may serve as one proof that their treatment has not been, and is not, very disgraceful.'" MITI p; • paid i 15,641 3,743 4,f69 40S 9,210 3,112 7,467 13,521! 4,0 1' 9,74 J By the sth and 6th W. IV c. 70 sect. 2, in force in Scotland only, it is enacted, that it shall not be lawful tor any person to apprehend or detain in custody any debtor for a civil debt under the sum of Si. 6s. Bd. in virtue of the decree of a small debt court, letters of caption or other warrant. So that in Scotland, for upwards of four years, imprisonment for small debts has been abo lished. In England, however, such imprisonment is in full operation ; and nearly every town has its distinct law on the subject. At Norwich, a debt of two pounds will send a man to gaol for six weeks, at Folkestone, only for twenty days ; in Westminster for seven days ; and in London and the Tower Hamlets, his person will be exempt from seizure. At Bath, 34 persons in 1837, were committed for 200 days, for debts under 101. ; and at Sheffield, no fewer than 90 persons were committed for 100 days for debts under Si. At Bath the maxi mum term of imprisonment is in all cases rigidly enforced; yet out of the sum 8,865/. sued for, only 4,6691. was re covered. The Court of Requests in London has a ju risdiction to the same amount as that of Bath, though it cannot commit for a longer time than 80 days ; and yet, out of a sum of 10,0761. sued for, the sum of 7,467/. was recovered. At Halifax also, the maximum term of im prisonment is generally inflicted ; and yet out of 7,29.5/. sued for, 3,1121. only was recovered ; while in the Tower Hamlets where imprisonment is abolished, out of 15,100/. sued for, 9,7401. was recovered. The neces sity of imprisonment cannot be defended after these re turns. There are, no doubt, cases where persons have been sent to prison, and have been released on their debts being paid by friends or strangers, but no creditor ought to be permitted to calculate upon his debt being thus discharged, or to give credit on the expectation of it. In the great majority of cases, this assistance is not given—and these only the Legislature ought to regard. Imprisonment in these cases is a barbarous and useless punishment ; taking from society the labour of the party imprisoned,, imposing a useless charge upon the pub lic for his confinement, depriving his family of his sup port, throwing their maintenance upon the parish, and frequently terminating in the ruin of many, who but for the prison, would have paid their debts, and have suc cessfully struggled against their difficulties. Execution against the goods of a debtor should be awarded—all the rest is useless and wicked. The returns Telating to the County Courts show that such Courts might without impropriety be abolished. Their jarisdiction extends to sums not exceeding forty shillings, unless in special cases. The only County Court that appears to have been regulated is that of Middlesex. Of this Court Mr. Sergeant Heath is the presiding officer. In 1837, no fewer than 22,968 suits were instituted in it for debts amounting to 22,051/. ; of which suits, 6,238 were settled out of Court, and judgments were given for 14,2641. in respect of 16,730 causes that were heard. None of these causes were for Sums above forty shillings. Mr. Sergeant Heath has made several attempts to extend the jurisdiction of the Middlesex Court ; but has always been defeated by an outcry that he was seeking to increase his own emolu ments—which, if true, would be a matter of very littte importance, if 20,000 more suitors consented to have their cases heard by him. In 1837 the fees amounted to 3,4521. ; and his own Court, and that of his deputy, whose salary he pays, sat 113 days, or both Courts 226 days. In the same year, 907 debtors were committed to Whitecross-street prison, but none of them for the maximum term that it is in the power of the Court to commit. Mr. Sergeant Heath des erves infinite credit for his exertions to extend the useful etrcieney of his office. The other County Courts in the kingdom present the greatest defects. They do not all appear to be without some use, since in that of Lancashire, in 1837, 8,825 causes were instituted, and judgments, obtained in 5,300 ; but the small fees payable in the Middlesex Court, and the number and amount of those demanded in Lancashire, afford a most remarkable contrast. The Borough Courts appear to have been seriously interfered with by the Municipal Reform Act. At Ips wich and Bath, there has been no trial for three years ; at Plymouth there has been none for two years ; at Wells the same ; and in this last town Mr. Ambrose G. Lethbridge was appointed Recorder, but not being of five years' standing at the bar, the Court could not be held. In some places it is the wish of the majority of the inhabitants that these Courts should be made effi cient. This is particularly the case of Winchester. The return from Doncaster states. that the Court is seldom resorted to, in consequence of its proceedings being liable to be removed, at any stage, into the Court of Queen's Bench ; and a similar statement is made in other returns. This is a defect which the House of Commons last Session endeavoured to remedy. By a majority of 57 to 2 a clause was added to the Borough Courts Bill to the effect that no suit for a sum under 50/. should be removed by certiorari, unless under cer tain stringent conditions. The effect of this clause would have been to make all the Recorders resident judges, to destroy all the Local Courts of Request, and to diminish by at least one half the County business of the Superior Courts. Lord Denman, who took charge of the Bill, refused to sanction the amendment of the a a dmini s t ra ti on o f Commons ; and another Bill was brougl m it ea in ns b h y ad h o im n: and carried, which omitted the clause that h a d b een e ear to be, in added o t h t m o o h s i t s e fi x r t s e t n s ß i v i l e l B. a ß a y n g h e o s w i n simple the law nearly been accomplished !

All these facts prove how anomalous and inconsistent if system it ca n b ou e r e w ai l l i e o d le . sy l s n te c m ou o r f ts L o o f cal Courts is, Requests, sums varying from one shilling to ten pounds can be recovered ; in County Courts, sums not exceeding, except in certain cases, the amount of forty shillings, are recoverable ; and in Borough Courts, sums to almost any amount may be sued fur. All these Courts have great and grievous defects. They are connected with no system of appeal, ADELPHI THEATRE. A version of Jack Sheppard, from the pen of Mr- Buckstone, was produced at this theatre last evening with triumphant success. The Adelphi version of the novel commences, ab initio, with the adoption of the infant Jack Sheppard, by Wood, and the earlier scenes pass in the Mint. This affords an oppor tunity for the introduction of some beautiful scenic illustrations of the ancient house architecture of that part of the metropolis, and the first act ends with a view of Old London-bridge as it ap peared during the great storm on the night of Nov. 26, 1703. This is, as a work of art, equal to any thing that has hitherto been produced at this theatre, so famous for its scenic illustrations. We have seen many a so-called Diorama much inferior to it. The plot of the novel is pretty closely followed, except in the denouement, which is most judicionsly altered. The mob, led on by Blueskia, set fire to Jo nathan Wild's house, and Wild and Jack Sheppard perish in the flames. This is certainly a more dramatic ending than dragging the hero to Tyburn tree. Mrs. Keeley was the Jack Sheppard, and, it is need less to add, a most efficient one. She made him really a devil-may-care fellow, but introduced sundry beautiful little touches of pathos, which told the more from the contrast with the general light-heartedness of the cha racter. She also sung several ballads with great taste and humour—one in the second Act, "In the box of the stone jug I was born," with the chorus by Blue skin (P. Bedford), " Nix, my Dolly Palls, fake away,' seemed to be honoured with the approbation of the audience. It was rapturously and unanimously en cored, and many seemed inclined to call for ;t a third time. Mr. Paul Bedford was the Blueskin. The acting of this gentleman reminded us more of the rich and racy humour of John Reeve than anything we have seen since his time. His flash songs tell amazingly, Jonathan Wild found a very efficient representative in Lyon—and Yates himself acted three characters—a one-eyed sailor, a Jew thief-taker, and Gay the Poet ; all were good. but of the three the Jew was decidedly the best. Yates gave out the piece for repetition every evening amidst the unanimous ap plause of a crowded house, and afterwards, in obedience to the call of the audience, led forward Mrs. Keeley to receive the applause her exertions so richly merited.

The Appropriation Bill of the last Session of Parlia ment directs that the Lords of the Treasury may issue any sum or sums of money, not exceeding 31,0001., to pay, to the 31st day of March, 1840, the allowances and expences of the Barristers employed in revising lists of voters under the Act to amend the Represen tation of the People of England and Wales. If it had been proposed in Parliament that thirty-one Local Judges should be appointed with salaries of 1,0001. a year each, there would have been a great outcry and the most ludicrous lamentations upon the increase of the patronage of the Crown. Sensible men would have said, that if such Judges were necessary, it was the duty of the Government and of the Legislature to appoint them ; but persons ignorant of the duties of legislation would have complained of the patronage such appoint ments would occasion. Let 31,0001. a-year be squan dered upon one hundred and seventy Barristers, to perform in the worst possible manner the simplest and the easiest duties, and not a remark against it is ut tered. For about L 5,0001. a-year more than is paid to Revising Barristers alone, a Local Judge might be ap pointed with an ample salary in every county in Eng land and Wales ; who, besides executing all the higher duties of a Judge in the determination of criminal and civil matters, and of cases both of law and equity, might also, as a part of his duty, revise tilt lists of voters in every borough and division of the county in which he would have to act. A great economy would be the result of such appointments. Courts with efficient Judges would then exist ; an educated bar would soon be found in every part of the kingdom ; and, • with a good system of appeal, there would be uniformity of law, despatch in its administration, and a real distribution of justice. Borough Courts, Manor Courts, County Courts, Courts of Requests, and every other petty ju risdiction, might then be abolished, with all their petty abuses and petty tyranny. But how long shall we have to wait before such a change will be accomplished ? Last week we pointed out many remarkable particu lars connected with Courts of Requests ; we this week continue the abstract of the Returns relating to them and other Courts. The following list exhibits some re markable facts connected with the mode in which these Courts inflict imprisonment : 2- % 2 I 0: 1.0 I, E y n d ~. .^-~ W ~ C 1 > C~ O Number of Persons com mitted for the Maximum Term of Imprisonment.

Thomas Eaton, a young man of gentlemanly appear ance, surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment, charging him with the manslaughter of William Crowle on the 28th of May last- Mr. BALLANTINE conducted the prosecution, and Messrs. PHILLIPS and CLaaksoN the defence. David Pope deposed that he was a carpenter, and on the day in question he bad been to a club meeting with the deceased and several other persons, and they were returning home together about twelve o'clock at night, through King-street, Holborn. As they were going along that street he met the prisoner walking arm in-arm with two other persons, and in company with se veral others, and as they came up to theai some of the prisoner's party said," You --, can you fight ?" The deceasedcame up at that tim e an d as k e d w h at was the matter, 'upon which he was immediately struck. He snatched a stick out of witness's hand, and struck the prisoner with it, and a. general fight then took place be tween them all. The deceased was struck by several of the party, and the prisoner struck witness and knocked him down—the affray lasted about ten minutes, when a policeman came up, but he refused to interfere, because he had not seen any blows struck. He was sure the prisoner was one of the party. After the affray witness observed the deceased sitting down, and he appeared very much hurt, and witness assisted him home. He was afterwards taken to the hospital, where he died about a week afterwards. John Proctor, a tradesman living in King-street, de posed that he saw the transaction and observed the pri soner and the deceased struggle and fall down together. He heard the latter call out for assistance and say that the prisoner was murdering him. The policeman came up and requested the parties to go away, but the pri soner said he would be if he would, and added that he believed he knew the law as well as the police man, and he should go when he liked. Cross -examined—Is sure the prisoner is the man. Three surgeons were examined, one of whom gave it as his opinion that the deceased died in consequence of inflammation of the chest, which he attributed to the broken rib, and the other two differed from him, attri buting his death to phlebitis. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury re tired at five o'clock, and, after being absentnearly three hours, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Corral sentenced the prisoner to six months'im prisonment. MEMOIRS OF HIS OWN TIME, INCLUDING THE ANCIEN REGIME, THE REVOLUTION, THE EM PIRE, AND THE RESTORATION.

Picton, Lord Hill, the Duke of Wellington, Sir David Baird, and characteristic illustrations. The Durham Chronicle, in ignorance of course of Mr. Shafto's denial of havihg written the letter to Mr. Montgomery, and also, we may add, in even less excusable ignorance of Lord Brougham's character, says " We should be sorry to attribute to Mr. Shafto any cool or deliberate design to impose upon the public, or to trifle with the best feelings of men of all political parties ; but we are not quite sure that he and his tra velling companion have not conspired together to raise a laugh at the public expense. His Lordship might have a craving to read his epitaph before he died ; and not impossibly availed himself of the accident, such as it was, to bring the newspapers out. It would not be very creditable to be sure ; but looking at the case as it stands, we cannot divest ourselves of the suspicion that his Lordship has been, if not himself the hoaxer, the prompter of the trick." The Chronicle cannot divest itself of " suspicion," nor of any kindred quality. Our Contemporory is decidedly a suspicious character. " NEARLY GONE."—At Thornley colliery, a short time ago, one of the pitmen was standing on a platform between two shafts, at two o'clock in the morn ing, and overbalancing himself, fell backwards from his eminence. It so happened that he pitched head-foremost into one of the pits, and his destruction was considered an inevitable certainty ; but, in his impetuous descent, he preserved his presence of mind, and caught the rope which extended from the pit-mouth to the bottom of the shaft. He was now swinging in mid-air, at the depth of about 40 fathoms from the surface, and in a most critical situation. He was, however, cool and collected, and retained his hold till he was raised to a place of safety ; when, shrugging his shoulders, he ex claimed, " D— it ! I was nearly gone !" and was shortly afterwards hard at work, as if nothing particular had oc curred.—Gateshead Observer. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday evening an inquisition was taken before Mr. Wakley, at the sign of the King's Head, Earl's-court, Kensin g t on , into the cir cumstances attendant on the death of Miss Maria More head, aged 36, who was found dead in her bed-room on the morning of Thursday last. From the evidenee of the witnesses it appeared that the deceased lady, who had resided with her mother at No. 18, Earl's-court terrace, purchased a Government annuity of 201. per annum, about two months since, for the sum of 3271., no dividend on which had yet become due. On the morning of Thursday last she rose from her bed about seven o'clock, and went to the bed-room of the servant, whom she directed to light a fire and prepare for her a cup of tea. The servant did so, and took it up to her in her bed-room, at which time she appeared in her usual state of health ; but on the servant again entering the room shortly afterwards she found the deceased lying in a state of insensibility by the side of the bed, having ap parently fallen with her head underneath. Medical as sistance was immediately sent for, but on the arrival of the surgeon life was found to be quite extinct. Verdict —" Found dead ; supposed from natural causes." North Molton was the scene of a very gratifying spectacle last week, in consequence of Lord and Lady Poltimore having visited, for the first time since the birth of the heir, their ancient seat, Court-hall. The te nantry invited the Noble Lord to a dinner, which was held at the Poltimore Arms, in that village. About 150 .persons dined, and the occasion was one of great interest, because the birth of an heir had secured the link which held many of them in the estates which they rented. No landlord in England has a more devoted and attached tenantry than Lord Poltimore has, and many generations of the same families have occupied the same estates under the family. There were young men at the meeting whose family had rented the es tates which they lived on for 300 years. Lord Polti more was greatly gratified by this testimonial of cha racter from his tenants. He spoke exceedingly well as did Gen. Buller, Mr. John Gould, his Lordship's steward, (who made a humane and benevolent appeal in behalf of the agricultural labourer), Mr. N. Gould, of South Molton, Mr. Fleaman, Mr. Edwin Maunder, tk,t. &c. Mr. James Maunder was chairman, and Mr. J. Tapp, vice. Lady Poltimore, and the infant heir, a fine boy two and a half years old, were introduced to the meeting, previous to the dinner, to the great joy of the tenantry. Her Ladyship appeared highly delighted with the proceedings. On Friday night the horse drawing the Chippen nam mail-cart ran away with that vehicle, during absence of the driver. The toll-taker at Castle Combe-gate, hearing th e cart come up, b ut b e i ng ill, sent his wife out to open the gate, when the animal rushed against her, lambing her in such a manner against the post as to kill her on the spot.— Wilts Herald TIMES.—The private letters received to-day from Alexandria, which are dated on the 7th inst., are im portant in a commercial point of view, since they refer to the stoppage of the communications with India through Egypt as a probable event, should the allied Powers proceed to t blockade of the port of Alex andria. In fact, Mr. Waghorn, who had recently re turned to Egypt from a visit to Constantinople, which he had made at the instance of some of the English merchants resident in Egypt, has issued circulars to the merchants both of England and of India, to give them warning that such a turn of affairs was likely to take place, and to enable them to guard against the consequences. According to the private letters, the policy of the Paella of Egypt continued to be of the same wavering character. He was apparently firm in his declarations that he would neither abandon any of his territorial acquisitions nor surrender the Turkish fleet, but it was believed at the same time that he relied mainly on the want of sufficient union among the Allied Powers to take any decisive measures against him ; and that, were he once persuaded of the contrary, a different tone would be adopted. A change having been made in the day of departure from Bombay of the steamer with the Indian mail, from the 12th to the 18th of September, the news it conveyed could not reach Alexandria before the 12th inst. The cause of this change is not explained, and therefore cannot be absolutely condemned ; but it is certain that such alte rations are much to be deprecated, and that they cause much disappointment and inconvenience to the mercan tile interest. The following is a copy of the circular of Mr. Wag horn above referred to : " ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 7, 1839. To the Chambers of Commerce of Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and Ceylon, and Canton, also of London, Liverpool, Bristol, Glasgow, Birmingham, Man chester, and Sheffield. " Gentlemen—The present critical state of affairs in a political point of view between Egypt and Turkey, in which the representatives of the five great Powers of Europe are now assembled in Congress at Vienna to arrange and settle, may not he so easy a matter, if Egypt is to be shorn of the ascendancy she has had ceded to her by the late Sultan in Syria, Arabia, and Candia. Ever anxious, ever watchful, as I have been to improve the mercantile interests of my country, by opening and establishing a rapid channel of intercourse through Egypt for the purposes of trade, I must con fess that I am now obliged to write them that ehere is a chance of its being speedily shut up by the blockade of the port of Alexandria by England or France on the be half of the above five Powers in order to carry out by force what they may term a settlement of the Eastern question.' " To my mind England and India have more to lose than other countries on the score of this communica tion, already become so valuable, not only to the in terests of the merchants, but to all other interests of our country, in every point of view, without any ex ception. " Under the idea that politicians, in looking to the interests of the Porte, may overlook those of Egypt, and undertake by force to compel her to obedience, my candid opinion is that Egypt will not yield one inch without that right being guaranteed which she has gained, and had ceded to her, and which countries she is now already improving in all things. " Without more comment I warn you all, the Cham bers of Commerce, (I now write to each), to begin and calculate upon such stoppage in the communication of your mercantile arrangements and business, thinking that you are not at present prepared to have your letters and business conducted in nine months instead of three by its stoppage, even partially, for a few months. " I do not say that such stoppage is certain, that is out of my power to foresee ; but I feel it my bounden duty to ask your Chamber to look forward that it may happen speedily. . . " With respective compliments, " I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, " Your faithful servant, " THOMAS WAGHORN." CHRONICLE.—This has been an unusually dull day on the Stock Exchange, and no business of any magnitude has been transacted. At Mark-lane prices were firm for first samples of wheat at an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter on those of this day week ; barley and oats were also held firm at rather better prices. Mr. Jaudon has returned from Holland, and we un derstand his negotiation for the loan in aid of the Bank of the United States goes on favourably. POST.—The Dutch budget which was presented to the States-General by the Minister of Finance on Friday last, is the only novelty we have occasion to refer to in connection with our Stock Exchange opera tions. The view that has been taken by the jobbers and speculators of this, the annual exhibit of the Nether lands Government, appears to be by no means favour able, and the Dutch securities have declined about per cent. in consequence. The document is, in many respects, obscure, but, when properly investigated and understood, there is not, as far as we are able to judge, any feature in it that should in the smallest degree dimi nish the confidence which the bondholders have hereto- fore been disposed to feel in the ability of Holland to meet her public engagements with punctuality and honour. The Stock, however, is at a high price, and the market is on this account naturally more sensitive than would otherwise be the case. The good faith of the Dutch nation is beyond all suspicion. This is, we believe, admitted on all hands, and, in estimating the value of her debt, the only question that we have at any time heard expressed is simply as to the sufficiency ' or insufficiency of her resources under the new system to meet the charge thereupon. The position of her ex chequer at the present time is stated in Saturday's Han delsblad to be as follows :—The expenditure for the year 1840 is put down at 56,378,500 guilders, exclusive of 5,600,000 guilders, required for the payment of the dividends on the Five per Cent. Loan,: and 500,000 guilders more for extraordinary charges. Under the head of disbursements is inserted 2,500,000 guilders which the Syndicate will have occasion for as in former times, and in pursuance of the old arrangement entered into for this object. Towards the ways and means Java contributes 11,200,000 guilders, and, upon the whole, there,would appear to be in this item (ways and means) an excess of 7,698 guilders. A specific law, the object of which is to fix the amount of debtcharged upon the colo nies, will forthwith be made a subject of discussion in the Chambers. In the meanwhile, bonds for fifty-six mil , lion guilders, bearing five per cent. interest, will be issued, as applicable to the year 1840, on account of the said debt, . for the liquidation of which a sinking fund of one million of guilders annually, or as much more as the colonial finances may warrant, is to be established. The sum to be borrowed by the Colo nial Department is declared by the Minister to be intended not only to enable the islands to meet the increased taxes laid upon them by the mother cowl ' try, but as a means also of providing for the exigencies of the State for the ensuing year 1840. It is further explained, that, to enable the Colonial Government to make to Holland the large shipments of produce which find there so ready a market, the department has to fur nish liberal advances, without which advances the said produce is not at its disposal, but which that property, when acquired, so abundantly guarantees. The sum of 5,000,000 guilders which the Belgian Government has agreed to pay annually to Holland, on account of the joint liabilities of the two countries under the old order of things, forms no part of the estimates laid before the Dutch Chambers, there being, as we have before inti mated, some demur on the part of Belgium with regard to that matter. The Stock Market at Amsterdam was dull on Wed nesday, as it was currently reported there that the Go vernment had agreed to pay the Syndicate as large an amount as forty-four millions of .-ruilders. Scarcely sufficient timelhad elapsed, since the true state of affairs was made public, for the effect of the information on prices:to bo ascertained. The' more important particu lars, bad, however, transpired on Thursday, but it does not appear that much impression had been made by them, whatevgr may have been the case when they cam e to be confirmed by the regular organs of the Gover a . ment. Here the Five per Cent. Bonds closed t ,hi s afternoon at 99i to I, and the Two-and-a-Half per Cent, ditto at 54 to Belgian closed at 1031 . to 1. The English funds were generally flat.

The matter most interesting to a great portion of our monetary and commercial circles has been tire discus sion in the Dutch Chamber upon the budget. It ap pears that the sum total of the estimates fur the year 1840 will amount in round numbers to 56,000,000 of guilders or florins. Under these disbursements is in cluded the 2,500,000 guilders which the Syndicate re quired the Government heretofore to furnish towards the ways and means, besides 5,600,000 florins for pay ing the interest on the Five per Cents., and 500,000 florins for extraordinary elpesies. The second project of the budget fixes the ways and means for 1840, to which Java and the other colonies arc to contribute 11,200,000 guilders from their revenues. The third project related to the debt of 56,000,000 of guilders charged upon the colonies, for which bonds • at 5 per cent. are to be issued in IS4O. The 5,000,000 of guilders due from Belgium are not referred to in the budget. The Minister has declared that the sum to be raised for the colonies is to enable them to meet the increased taxes imposed upon them by the home Government, and also to enable them to meet the wants of the state for the year 1840, as well as to give the Colonial Government the power to extend the shipmenta of produce to Holland, which, if that depart ment has large advances to make, will be imme diately disposed of, but which, at any rate, are to he viewed as a guarantee. The Minister appears to have admitted that no immediate preparation for the payment or redemption of the debt could be arranged, whilst Belgium did not furnish her quota, and the claims of the Syndicate remained unsettled. The view, however, which has been taken of the subject here, has caused the Dutch Funds to decline nearly 1 per cent. There has not been any disposition manifested to-day for speculation in the British Funds ; indeed, the market has been somewhat freely supplied with money stock, which has caused most of the public securities to leave off a little under the opening price.
