It is confidently stated that a new writ for Dudley will be moved for immediately on the opening of the en suing session, and the Anti-Corn-law League are actively preparing for a canvass. A correspondent of the Times says—lt" _is generally believed that Mr. Sotheron will be solicited to fill the vacancy in the representation of Wiltshire, caused by the death of Sir Francis Burdett. Should be consent to do so, his success is considered certain. Mr. Ludlow Bruges, of Seend, near Devizes, is expected to fill the vacancy in that borough in the event of Mr. Sotheron vacating it for the county. The Cour de la Premiere Instance of Paris pronounced a judgment on Saturday last, confirming, the patents taken in that country by Messrs. Elkington and De Ruolz for the electro proeess of depo,iting the various metals. This, with the verdict of the Cour Royale in July last, confirms the whole of the claims made by our countrymen for these discoveries." - Most of the influential gentlemen and farmers in the neighbourhood of Lewes have determined on attending the meeting at Steyning next Monday. As the day ap proaches, the subject of the corn-laws nearly engrosses all conversation. A meeting was held at Maidstone yesterday for the purpose of forming an Association of the West Kent tanners, to resist the progress of the Anti-Corn law League. Lord Strangford was in the chair.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE POST-OFFICE. The Lords of her Majesty's Treas►►ry having decided, in accordance witl► the recommendations• of the Select Committee on Postage, to increase the public accommo dation by an extensive change in the . administration of the Post-offie department of the public service, have intimated their intention of devoting the whole of the surplus revenue in currying out the remaining.details of the penny postage measure.- Accordingly Lord : Viscount Lowther, aotio 7 ;in con-, form►ty with these. instructio►\s, has caused to be estab lished a permanent Board, consisting of the heads of the executive. departments, for the purpose of arranging the working of the plan: The foll O -wing, we are informed, are among the prin cipal propositions recommended for adoption as 'speedily as possible : Prepayment in cases of all inland eprrSSpOndence the medium of stamps ; the institution of the More . fre quent dispatch and delivery of London ,diStrict post letters, and the abridgment of the letter-carrier - 6' walks, so as to facilitate both, and an increase in the; number of officers tantamount to the projected extension of the duties of the office. These preliminary measure§, we hear, are to crime into operation early in the spring. The April quarter is named, but the period is not yet definitively fixed. Other, and still more important alterations have been suggested, and will form part of the practice as soon as the introductory Thirtion above noticed , has been intro duced, the chief of which, we understand, are the fol lowing . _ The separation of the inland. from .the.foreigneorre spondenee, so as to secure simplicity in all the working arrangements, by obtaining a uniform and rapid deli very of all inland letters inward; the eventual consoli dation of the two corps of letter-carriers—general and twopenny ; the establishment of additional receiving houses in the metropolis ; the increase of arrivals from the provinces by the morn* mail., and the establishment of post-offices throughout the United Kingdom in pro portion to the density of the letter-writing population. As it is manifest that the extensive alterations above enumerated are calculated 'materiall to affect the in comes of all officers connected with the department., whose salaries depend, in a great measure,npon their realisation of fees and gratuities from the public, for what is called the « early delivery," we are informed that it is in contemplation to substitute fixed Salaries in lieu of the present sliding scale of wages. proportioned to the length of service and amount of duty performed by each officer.. It is estimated by Colonel' Maberly that the carrying out of this proposition alone' will :n -volve an additional outlay of 4,50 CL per annum, and that the adoption of the whole of the projected altera tions will absorb the whole of the present net revenue. [lt is high time certainly to project improvements in the Post-office. We will give only one instance of mis managenv nt, to show how sluggish the authorities are, though all around them are moving at railroad speed. An inland mail, bringing letters from Ireland to any part of England, reaches London about one o'clock, P.M. The letter remains at St. Martin's-le-Grand till thre?. ; those for the \Vest•end are transmitted to Charing-cross Post-office, where they remain another hour, and are not delivered till half-past four, thus occupying three hours and a half in the delivery, or about the time re quired to convey them 100 miles by railroad.—En. Sun.] FATAL FALL.— SINGULAR TREATMENT OF THE SUFPEREK.—Yesterday, Mr. Payne held an inquest at the parish school-room, St. Mary Axe, on the body of Mrs. Elisabeth Moore 111urdnek Wallis, aged :22, wife of Mr. William Wallis, bill .broker, or No. 40, in the above street. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased was subject to fits, and that on Monday night last, whilst ascending the kitchen stairs, she fell down and fractured the base of her skull. The cook and the groom immediately ran to her assistance, and carried her up stairs to bed. Her temples were bathed with vinegar, but she remained senseless, and was not heard to speak from the time that she fell. Neither the deceased's husband ner Miss Rumpling, a young lady then on a visit, thought it necessary to send for medical assistance, and allowed the deceased to remain in bed in the same state until the following morning at eight o'clock. Mr. Brown, surgeon, was then sent for, but deceased was be yond recovery, and died in three hours. Mr. Wallis, the deceased's husband, was sent for by the Coroner, in order that ' he might explain his reason for not procuring earlier medical aid. Upon his arrival he said that his wife frequently reco vered from her fits without the 'resistance of a surgeon. Ile spoke to her in the course of the night, but she gave him no answer. He, however, did not think that there was any dan ger. He considered she was suffering from a fit, and not from the effects of the fall. One of the witnesses said that the de ceased bled from the ear, and the Coroner remarked that such clear proof of injury to the skull should Save shown the impor tance of instant medical relief. The Jury returned a verdict of .• Accidental death," and added, that they felt much surprise Ithd regret that a surgeon should not have been called within nine hours after the accident. METROPOLITAN BENEFIT SOCIETIES' ASYLUM.— The usual half-yearly meeting of the members of the above excellent Institution, was held last night, at the London Me chanics' Institution, Southampton-buildings. The chair was taken by Richird Itameden, Esq., who presided in an admirable manner, and to the great delight and satisfaction oldie andience. The Secretary read the Report, which was of the most cheer ing descrip'ion. It announced a considerable increase in the amount of receipts during the last year, and the prospect of a speedy extinction of the debt, which had already been reduced more than one-half. It described in glowing terms, the com fort and protection enjoyed at the Asylum in Ball's-pond by the numerous inmates, and announced drat the time was fast ap proaching when the two wings might be added to the As , lum. After some excellent speeches from the Chairman, Mr. VorNles (the founder), and other gentlemen, the Report was unani mously adopted. The Committee for the next year was then appointed, and the auditors were also nominated The whole concluded with what was, doubtless, the most interesting part of the proceedings, namely, the announcement of tl.e result of the ballot (which, we ought to have mentioned, had gone on for two hours previous to the presentation of the Report) fur the election of three inmates of the Asylum. The scrutineers announced the number cf votes which each of the candidates (34 in number), bad received. and the result was, that the election had fallen on Jelin Frembly, 3,716 votes; William at ells, 2,683 votes ; and John Chamness, 1,703 votes. The successful candidates (with the exception of the last, wh t was bedridden) presented themselves on the platform, and expressed their warm acknowledgments. They both seemed very re spectable and very venerable old seen, and were greatly cheered. WINDSOR AND ETON CHURCH UN'S/N.—WINDSOR, TISURSDAY.—At the quarterly meeting of theamembers of this union, which took place yesterday at the Towu-hall, the lollowing were amongst these who were present and took part in the proceedings .—The Rev. the Provest and Vice-Provost of Eton, the Rev.

MARRIAGES IN lltrait Lirn.—On the .23(1 instant, at Allorton Park, Yorkshire, Carrington Smythe, Esq., of the Bth Royal Hussars, eldest son of Sir Edward Smythe, Bart., of Acton Bnrnells, to Louisa Mary, daughter of Lord Stourton. The lovely bride is the youngest of his Lordship's numerous family. After an elegant dejeane, which was attended by many members of his Lordship's distinguished family, the happy pair left Allerton Park for Derbyshire. INCENDIARY FI II ES.-1 he L'erefiird J011771(71 of yesterday gives the particulars of three inoendiary fires in the vicinity of that town ; the first case occurred on the farm of Mr. Lewis, of Briiiropp ; the second at Lye Court, Brilley, in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Case ; and the third occurred in the stable belonging to Mr. John Davies, upholsterer, of St. Martin's-street, in the city of Hereford itself. SUICIDE AT WATERLOO-11RIDGE.-Mr. Carter yesterdaylprocoedecl itta the inquiry, at the Feathers, Waterloo road, as to the death of Elizabeth Donelley, aged 23, who leaped from the parapet of Waterloo-bridge, on Tuesdal afternoon. William Johnson stated that, on the afternoon in question. about halt-past three, he was driving a cab over Waterloo bridge, when he observed a female in the third recess on the Surrey side. She got upon the seat, and then deliberately took off her bonnet and shawl. Having done this, she clam bered on the parapet, and threw herself into the river before he had time to prevent the act. The body was taken out of the river in about twenty minutes afterwards, and every effort was made to restore animation, but without effect. Matilda Osmond, Of 8, Were-street, Clare-market, deposed that the de ceased was her sister. Her (deceased's) husband was Mr. John Bregan Denelley, of the firm of Noble and Co., of 6, Billiter-square, City. He had separated from her four times in consequence of her excessively dissipated habits. On the last time, which was the 4th rif December, she was very tipsy, and he kissed her, saying, " Betsey,_ if you don't alter, I shall make away with myself." From that time he has never been seen or heard of, and it is feared he has committed suicide. The next day he sent her a sovereign, but when that was ex pended she came to live with witness, as she was utterly desti tute. She had pawned everything she had, and on the day she destroyed her life sold her stays to purchase spirits. On that morning she hail obtained an order train the Strand Union to go into the workhouse, while they sought for her husband. On the following morning she heard that the body of the de ceased had been taken out of the river, and she had no doubt she did it under great excite,nent, produced by drink and her dread of the workhouse. After a short deliberation the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased destroyed herselt while in a state of temporary insanity, produced by excessive drinking." TASTE FOR WINE.—We sce from a return which has just been handed to us by a friend, that the consumption of Madeira wine is rapidly increasing in this country. The quantity which paid duty in 1543 was 68,1)06 gallons, against 51,513 in 1812, showing an increase of 17,393 gallons in a year, in which the consumption of most other kinds of wine decreased. If the Portuguese Ministers prssessed common sers,.(which, however, is a very uncommon possession ameng,t Ministers of State) they would have availed themselves of this change in the public taste to the utmost, by agreeing to a commercial treaty which would have given them the command of the British market for the wiri's of Portugal and its posses sions.

THE G-ENEKAL CITY OP LONDON PENSION' SO eiETY.—A festivity yesterday was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgatc-street, emanating from the Direc tors, Committee, and supporters of the Society, for the purpose of presenting to their secretary, Slr. H. F. Richardson, a testimonial in honour of and to record his services on behalf of the charity. About 40 gen tlemen, including the principal officers of the charity, partook of a most sumptuous entertainment, provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breach. The bill of fare was ad mirable, and the wines perfection. The testimonial, which was presented in due form and appropriate terms, consisted of a magnificent and richly-chased centre ornament, the base of which was in burnished silrer. From the base, supported by the trunk of the acanthus, rested the figure of Charity, with her attri butes. Surmounted by these rested a vase bearing the exotics which art had, at this season, brought to a sem blance of perfection. The base of the pedestal IN as comprised of three compartments. In the first were engraved the armorial bearings of the individual ho noured, Mr. 11. F. Richardson ; in the second was a highly complimentary inscription ; and in the last com partment of the tripod was a memorial of the presen tation, and the names of the committee and subscribers. Mr. H. F. Richardson, on the presentation of the tes timonial, acknowledged the compliment in feeling and appropriate terms. The evening was spent in the utmost hilarity and good feeling, both of the latter being ma terially aided by the vocal efforts of Messrs. Bruton and Martin. PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronicle, alluding to the Anti-Corn-law League meeting last night, observes :—" The League professes to be non-political ; free trade, they say, is of no party; and the abolition of all monopolies by the Tories would ho received with as much enthusiasm as if it were ac complished by the Whigs. Yet, when Mr. Bouverie, last night, ran a parallel between Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Alderman Gibbs, shouts of laughter burst from every quarter •; which were repeated when Mr. Burnett called him a " man of all work," and recommended the free traders to make as much use of: him as they could. How is this? We always UnderstUod that Sir R. Peel was regarded, in the City, as an exceedingly respectable man, and not to be named in conjunction with su.:ll a functionary as Mr. Alderman Gibbs. Yet how eagerly- was the Peel and Gibbs association caught up by the free traders last night. There must . be a great change for the worse passing over English society. The middle classes of this country have been hitherto re garded as shrewd, intelligent, practical, and discerning ; not to be imposed on for any length of time; and though occasionally liable to be led astray by some sudden im pulse, always recovering their senses at last. Yet here they are, blindly following the nefarious gang of " raga muffin" cotton-spinners, who are banded together in order to destroy British agriculture, ruin the landed inte rest, beggar the tenant-farmer, and starve the comfortable agricultural labourer ! For this purpose the commercial and manufacturing community gave the League 50,0001. a year ago, and are now engaged in rapidly doubling the amount. The: Times remarks, i n an art i c l e on t h e s ubject of na tional oducation:—" The rejection of the Ministerial Education Bill of last session appears to be de veloping into results more and more unlooked for and uncounted upon. Few persons, we suppose, anticipated that 111 the defeat of that measure there would have originated, on the part of the national Church an effort whose - vigour and suc cess has given proof of the existence in that body of greater vitality, more real earnestness, and more power ful energy, than at any period of her history since the rebellion of 1640. We have already noticed the pro gress of the educational movement, which was thus commenced within the Church, and have expressed our satisfaction at the testimony which it bears t the general character of the cause of sound education throughout the country. It has shown at least that zeal for the cause of the poor—zeal for the great cause of Christianity—the zeal of dispelling the darkness of ignorance, and alleviating, by destroying it, the misery of vice—is still to be found within the pale of the Churc h of England, not in empty words, but in deeds of self denial and of mercy—not in the mere selfishness of teaching order and civilisation for the sake of preserving to their possessors those constituted privilege:: and en joyments whose very being depends upon peace and tranquillity,—but for the poor's sake themselves, for the sake of charity, and for the sake of truth. It is much, we say, to have done this. No political movem ent could have borne such witness as this.' The Herald says i—"'We have been compelled occa sionally to dissent from the views and to object to the practices of the Rev. Dr. Hook, the Vicar of Leeds ; but, though our opinion of both is only confirmed by reflection and experience, we cannot forbear joining our Contemporaries in expressions of admiration at .his proper conduct in. reference -to his . important vicarage. The Rev. Doctor proposes to restore to Leeds what its population and extent have long substantially deprived it of, the parochial system of the Church of England, at the sacrifice by him self of patronage. Dr. Hook's vicarage now •em braces an area of thirty-two - miles in circumference, and contains 160,000 inhabitants; from it he receives the ordinary ecclesiastical dues. In this enormous parish there are twenty churches and chapels, ti nearly all of which the Vicar presents. When Dr. Hook was in ducted into this living he f ound Diss ent ramp ant there in, and the Church despis ed, dis r e g arde d , and forsaken: by his own exertions, by the employment of five or six curates, and by the able assistance of several of the ministers of district churches, the influence and autho rity of the Church have been somewhat restored. This res toration has taken pl ace contem p oran eously with Dr. c(4k t-ltile the, c ,sta at bl oneish ment of that unanimi t y amongst the clergy desirable in a largo town like 1-4,,eds, ay.ield Hook's incumbency , and there can be little doubt that t a l d le op inez NIT 'hook have , however, of late years, c r ive n I,y him. The Tracta r i an v i ews checked this movement, have time, growing enthus iasm of its churchme n. Still it would be exceedingly u ncandid to detract one jot from the merits of Dr. Hook. " • prevented]rave oWe quote the following from the Advertiser :—" The Ministers would no doubt be delighted to grant as a boon to the Dublin Corporation that escape of the traversers from amercement , which, if not given by a 'verdict of the jury, must be enforced by the irresis tible tide of public opiej o n. We trust that the tra versers will firmly abide by the position they have taken, and spurn the proffer of, as they have already done the application for, any such degrading clemency. What ! I for an act of amnesty for Mr. O'Con nell, and the other gentlemen now on their trial f(,r sedition and conspiracy's at the present cage of the law presecuticns ? What ! before a verdict has been re turned ? Before the jilt)" , constituted as that jury is, has pronounced whether Mr. O'Connell and the rest of the gentlemen before the bar, be .guilty or not guilty ? Before it can be stated that they have com promised themselves in acts of sedition and conspiracy ? Before Government itself dare to condemn them ? Be fore public opinion has ceased to - regard them in any other light than, if convicted, as martyrs to the principle of free discussion, the most wrongfully and unjustly dealt with of men—if unconvicted, as triumphant witness of the virtue of our Bill of Rights, and the reality of human truth and liberty ? What ! Pray for an act of amnesty to Mr. O'Connell and his brother compatriots at such a moment, and this by the Dublin Corporation ?

INCENDIARISM.—Wednesday information wfii ce:red at Bow-street, that about six o'clock on. tho morning of the 14th inst. some evil-disp ose d person o persons set fire to an oat stack, with intent to destroy • several other corn and hay stacks, standing in the hoMe- ,7 stead yard, and being the property of Mr. Thomas 4b bott, of the Manor-house, Belchford, near Horneastle, _ . the county of Lincoln, whereby the oat stack was totally destroyed. A reward of 100/. • has been offered by her Majesty's Government, with a free pardon to any accom plice, not being the person wh6 actually set fire to the stack. Mr. Thomas Abbott and his friends have offered 70L, and an additional 40/. from the trea4rer ot . the Horncastle New Association for the Discovery of Felony.—Also that, on the night 'of the 18th inst., or early the following morning, some person or persons wilfully set fire to a stack of hay, and upwards of 320 sheaves of corn, in the village of Llansanan, in the county of Denbigh, the property of Mr. Joseph Jonew. A reward of-51 is offered for the discovery of the incen diary. In the London Gazette we find the fo/lowing in the list of army appointments :—" 15th Foot.—Christopher Say ers, Gent., 'to be Ensign without pUrchase, vice Pisoctl, whose appointment has been cancelled."' Mr. Sayers is brother to the Rev. A. Sayers, of this city (Glouct•Ster), and also to a very gallant officer, Mr. Henry Ictiight, Sayers, of the 31st, who led the storming party through the Tezeen Pass, in Alfghanistan, but whose death, from the fatigues which he endured during that campaikn, de prived him of the promotion which was awaiting him, and which his gallantry had so nobly won. The present, appointment has been made by the Duke of Wellington, without purchase, entirely in consideration of the soldier like conduct of the deceased gentletnan, who, in his own person, was not permitted to receive the reward of his bravery.—Glouctster Chronic le.

E.—The shades of night gathered thickly around ; dark:masses hung portentously overtheepith ; the wind whistled mournfully over the horizon.; while the deep-toned thunder, in muttering accents, proclaimed the fearful tempest's near approach ; and, as the big drops of rain began slowly to descend, one little pig, with a look and manner not to be mistaken, curled up its tail and ran like the CHINESE JESTS.—A man of letters, who spent a great part of the night in study, kept a kettle on the fire to make tea, as a stimalus when he should be wearied. One night, hearing a thief breaking in thro;igh the wall, he took post by it with the kettle in his hand ; end when the thief had thrust both his legs through the aper ture, the student seized them, and poured the boiling water upon them. The robber rattled out for mercy. " Wait,' replied the otlur, coolly, " until 1 empty the kettle." HEROIC A CT.—thannal) More, in a I.qter 10. her si,ter, in 1762, relates the following interesting incident : " The other morning the Captain of one of Commodore John son's Dutch prizes breakfasted at Sir Charles Middleton'., sad related the following little anecdote :—One day he went out of his own ship to dine on board of another; while he was there a storm arose, which in a short time made isa entire wreck of his owe ship, to which it was impossible for him to return. He had left on board two little boys, out four and the other five sears old, under the care of a poor old black servant. The people struggled to get out it the ship into a largo boat, and the poor black took his master's two children, tied them in a bag, an putting in a little pet of sweetmeats for them, slung them across his shoulder, and put them into a boat. The hoat by this time was quite full ; the black was stepping into it himself, but was told by the master these was no room for hue ; that either he or the child ren must peri,h, for the weight of both must sink the boat. The exalted heroic negro did not hesitate a moment. Very well,' said he, ' give my duty Wily master, and tell hire I pardon for all my Linits,' and then—guess the rest- 4 1les into the ocean never to rise again, till the sea shall give op dead.
