So far bask as 1792 he held the rank of captain of a comp any of tears raised by hi mse lf i n t h e Basque c ountry, where he was born, and in the following year com manded a battalion of the same. Ile was during that year actively engaged in the affairs between the Spanish and French armies on the frontier, and having driven the enemy from the Aldudes (which has been so long a disputed territory) and won the redoubts of Budaritz, he was, with the rapidity of promotion then not uncommon, raised to the rank of general of brigade—his brigadei being composed of Basque Chasseurs. In 1800 he was attached to the division of General Moncey in Italy, and with whom he afterwards became allied by the closest ties of friendship. In 1802 he got the command of the lfish Light Infantry in the regular army. With that gallant corps he made the campaign of Germany in 1806, and distinguished himself greatly at ti'e battle of Jens. It was on this last occasion he was left for dead on the field, and was reported as such in the official reports of the army. In 1807 he was attached as Brigadier- General to the army of the Duke of Montebello, and was again severely , wounded at the battle of Friedland. On his re covery he was attached to the army of General MJncey as chief of his staff. He greatly distin guished himself in all the affairs of Catalonia In 1 810 he received his commission as general of r of T ' and iaarrtahge n f n tlowing year commanded the as saultand was again wounded by a shell. In 1813 he received the title of Count, and • was sent to Spain with Marshal Sachet.

General Harispe was in Madrid with the French army when the population rose on the 2d of m ay, 1808 ; and in the second edition of Napier's "liistoiy of the Peninsular War" will be found some margi na l notes from him, correcting a few errors r e l a ti ve to that event in the work in question. General Harisp e enjoyed much popularity, not only among the army he so long commanded near the French frontier, but also among his countrymen ; and no pleasure was so great for him as that of wandering over his native mountains in his old age and conversing with the peasants. He carries his love f v ; the scenes of his childhood, and for the primitive habits of their inhabi tants, to an extreme; he loves to converse in the Basque tongue, which he speaks as well, perhaps better than French, and his servants, instead of the ordinary livery, wear by preference the berret Basque —the blue flat cap of the mountains. Up to a very short time since General Harispe was still, notwith standing his time of life, in all the vigour of a grata old age. AGRICULTURIST CATTLE INSURANCE COMPANY. The annual meeting of the — above company was held at the offices of the society, on Wednesday last, for the purpose of receiving the Board's report of the business of the office during the past year; R. T. Beere, ,in the chair. It will be interesting to many of our readers if we recur to the early history of this company, whose ill success at starting has been followed by the most favourable results under the. present management. The Agriculturist Cattle Insurance Company was established in the year 1845, by H. W. Meetyard, a projector of a number of other companies. The shares were well subscribed for, and the enormous amount of business transacted by the company soon placed them at a high premium. It was, however, eventually disco vered that the company, instead of being in the flourishing condition it had been supposed to be, was in a position likely to bring every one of its share holders into the Bankruptcy Court. The projector, manager, and director, having obtained, in conse quence of his name being fastened in the deed, a cer tain sum, vanished, as did also many of the directors. In this emergency the present direction came into office in the year 1848. Their first step was to call in Mr. Ryley, the actuary, to report as to the true position of the company; when it was found that the outstanding liabilities were upwards of two millions sterling, and the debts actually owing at that period over 75,0001. In this state of affairs, arising in a great degree from too low a rate of premium, it was deemed advisable to increase the rates from an average of 2i to 3i per cent., and instead of allowing on losses three-fourths, they reduced that amount to two thirds. After struggling through difficulties unparalleled in the history of in surance, the company has now brought its total debts under 12,000/. The experience the directors and managers have gained appears to have placed the company's business in a very prosperous condition ; for it was shown to the meeting that for the last five months, ending in November, the amount insured was 59,426, the estimated loss being 156, and the actual loss only 138. During the months of October and November the sums assured amounted to 35,8531. The reports and statements made to the meeting ap peared to give very general satisfaction. The direc tion made a proposal to reduce the expenses 1,6001. per annum. This proposition, as well as the judicious manner in which the affairs of the company had been conducted, was received with warm approbation, and the directors, auditors, and secretary each received the thanks of the company.--Post lfagazine.

Notwithstanding the intimation given to the foreign exhibitors that all the goods were to be removed by the 13th instant (Saturday), there is still a large quantity within the building, chiefly belonging to France and some of the German States. The diffi culties of our French friends have been materially increased by the events of the last ten or twelve days ; and, either from miscalculating the quantity of goods to be re-conveyed to France, or from the want of previous arrangement, there are no means of ship ping them off, and the Custom-house authorities have been induced to relax somewhat of their strict rules, and allow the goods to be deposited for the present on the Ordnance Wharf, as if in bond. Although the building has been handed over to the contractors, Messrs. Fox and Henderson, a small executive staff, under the command of Lieutenant Tyler, still remains. They have the charge of the embryo national mu seum, and are the recipients of the samples and specimens contributed by the various exhibitors. It is still hoped that the building will be so completely cleared of the goods that it may be thrown open to the public on the let of January, as already arranged. All the entrances have now been shut up, except the public entrance on the south side, and the east end, through which the foreign packages are conveyed away. Here a great deal of bustle is still observable—long ranges of carts and waggons, some loaded and moving off, others drawing up to the entrance to be filled, are to be seen. The interior of the building is lighted with gas, and the workmen are kept busily employed to the latest moment. The bell rings at present at a quarter past four o'clock, and all the packages not then removed are brought back into the interior, and the building cleared out. The number of policemen on duty has now been reduced to a mere handful, and the vast pile is rapidly assum ing a look of desolation and gloom as seen in the haze and twilight of a winter's evening. THE LITTLE BOROUGHS, AND WHO SIT FOR THEM. (From the Weekly Dispatch.) Mr. Editor,—ln a very convenient return, obtained by Sir B. Hall, to which I have before had occasion to refer, the cities and boroughs of England and Wales are classed according to the size of their con stitnencies. The number of electors is taken from the registration of the year (1847), of the last general election. Availing ourselves of this help, I invite your readers to inquire who they are that sit fur that minutest class of boroughs. The pretext is not yet quite worn out of regarding these places as affording opportunity for men of great ability and small means to get into Parliament. The sophism is not yet quite exploded of representing these boroughs as strengthen ing the industrial and commercial interests of the country in their conflict with the landed proprietors and their pseudo-feudalism. Nor is the public mind sufficiently impressed with, though increasingly alive to, the fact that all Reform is a sham, even though it should give Universal Suffrage and the which does not include a thorough revision and re distribution of the Representation, which, to be per manent, must include some self-adjusting principle, so that the transfer of the people and their property from one locality to another will, of itself transfer also the representation, and make the ratio of num bers, or of numbers and wealth conjointly, the index to the number of representatives. On all these points the return I have named, conjoined with other infor mation, affords useful guidance. We will now take a glance at two or three of the smallest classes. The first consists of boroughs with the ridiculous minimum of less than 240 electors. The places in this predicament are Colne and Reigate; one under the influence of the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the other of Lord Somers. The sitting Members are Lord Shelburne and a Mr. Cocks. The first is the son of his father. That is all the world knows of him. I suppose the same may be said of ;the other. The Lord is a Lord of the Treasury. Perhaps the other may be also, when his party comes into power. Where is the evidence of legislative or any other talent in either ? We may tell the old story, and say, " Echo answers, where ?" It is the only thing that echo, or any h one else, can have to say upon the subject. In the next class of constituencies, not exceeding 200 electors, there are five boroughs. The Members they return are the following :—F. Baring, Coles, Collins, Cubitt, Earl of Euston, Viscount Somerton, Strutt, Westhead. Out of these eight Legislators we have two Lords, and the son and brother of a Lord. Thus far, then, the microscopic boroughs give us three lordlings out of ten Members. There would have been four but for Lord Arundel's honesty and zeal having displeased his recusant father, and turned himself out of Arundel, thus making room for the one of the two only decently clever men of the lot, Mr. Strutt, and he is put in by the converted Duke to please the Whigs. Mr. Cubitt, the other clever man to whom I alluded is a good builder of houses. It is a catch, in our present search, to find a man that can do any thing. As to making laws, we have not come to a single accredited workman in that department. Not a symptom occurs of the value of little constitu encies for choosing great statesmen. Not a glimpse yet of a debater. We are amongst the mutes. Read the records of the session, and you find nobody in the list whose existence is there apparent, except in the division lists. Under 300 electors is the qualification of a borough for a place in the third class. The representatives of this group are Lord Ernest Bruce, Mr. Bagshavr, Major B. Baring, Colonel Matheson, Mr. Rich, and Messrs. Walpole, Wrightson, and Wyvill, jun. Again, a lord, and the son and grandson of a lord. The army, tou, opens upon us with a colonel and a major. We have also one present and one ex-lord of the Treasury. One man of some mark presents himself : Mr. Walpole is an able lawyer and a fluent speaker ; he botched the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which was quite enough of a botch before. Yet even this man does not owe his position to his ability. The House of Commons is a regular speculation for lawyers. A seat is a ticket, which may draw the woolsack for a prise. The purchase-money is well laid out, as is shown by numerous instances in the legal profession. Moreover, Mr. Walpole's talent is a lucky accident. He might have sat for Midhurst had he been the greatest fool in Sussex, or else where. His father-in-law, the Earl of Egmont, is the patron of the borough. For the rest of the batch, with the exception of Bingham Baring, when the suppres sion of Sunday trading is in question, we are still amongst the dumbies. We have only a set of lay figures—puppets that do not even squeak. One law yer is the sum:and substance of our catch. Thirteen boroughs with 19 Members, all " small by degrees, and beautifully less," to the very verge of actual nihi lity, and one lawyer the sole product. Let this be remembered when little boroughs are again hepraised. Were the boroughs themselves annihilated, they would not be missed in the country; and the same may be said of their Members in the representation. . Proceed we to the next. Class 4, constituencies not exceeding 350 electors. Of these there are 15, returning 20 Members. These are Sir F. Thesiger, Sir J. S. Trelawny, Sir W. P. Gallwey, Sir G. Dashwood, Hon. J. Howard, H on . E. S. Russell, Captain Boldero, Captain Harris, Colonel Watkin, General Kerrison, and Messrs. Neild, Aglionby, Horsman, G. Moffatt, Crowder, Abdy, Mackinnon, Hutchins, T. Smith, J. Wil so n. The aristocracy, the law, the army and na v y, are aga in conspicuous. These are, in fact, only th e diff eren t branches of a great trading company that farms the representation. Cockermouth is probably an h ones t little place. There are said to be a good many Ch ar ti s t s i n it. Aglionby and Horsman sit for it, th e l a tt er grea tly to the grief andire of the Bishops wh o wou ld, most likely, be very ready to vote him a warmer seat elsewhere. With the exception of Mr. M ac ki nnon for his smoke, Mr. Wilson for his ever l as ti ng fi g ures, Captain Boldero for his stupidity, an d C ap t a i n Harris for his ill temper, there is nothing remarkable about any of the rest, when we have named the political economy of Trelawny, and the special pleading and brazen tones and face of Sir F. Thesiger. One barren waste succeeds to another. How these nonentities got into the House, I do not now inquire. I ask not whether the constituencies are co rrupte d or comm anded. The single question mooted on the present occasion is the amount of the legislative ability put into action by the small borough. Is it suc h as to warran t the con tinuance of these eyesores ? Do they add to the House anything which it cou ld no t v ery well do without ? From the 39 l awg i vers th us created, we may pick out two or thre e , an d no more , who con tribute something to the deliberation and decision of the Legisture, and that something not of first-rate importance. Let us try once more, and look at class 5, boroughs with constituencies of not exceeding 400 electors. There are 20 of them, and they return 31 Members, viz., Viscount Mandeville, Marquis Chandos, Lord M. Hill, Lord E. Howard, Hon. E. Lascelles, Lord Seymour, Marquis Blandford, Lord G. Paget; Sir J. Pakington, Sir H. Willoughby, Sir R. Vyvyan, Sir J. Hogg, Sir W. Jolliffe, Sir James Graham; Colonel Hall, Colonel Eatcourt, Colonel Peel, Admiral Bowles, Colonel Knox; and Messrs. Heneage, Locke, T. Baring, T. P. Williams, Blewitt, C. Martin, Plowden, Baldwin, Blackstone, Hayter, and Blakemore. Here is a manifest improvement. But w e mus t no t m a k e too much of it, nor be in too great a burry. A states man appears at last. one stateman ou t o f 70 Mem bers. One statesmanin nearly a fourth of the entire city and borough representation of England and Wales. And that one statesman sure to be unseated at the next election. The borough of Ripon means Earl de Grey. And Earl de Grey w ill n ot, it is understood, again return Sir James Graham, and the Free Trade Baronet " knows the reason why." It is not to his constituents that Sir Jam es G ra h am i s re sponsible. Of them he is perfectly independent. He may defy their opinions. He may betray their inte rests. But he may not offend Earl de Gr e y — ne ither he s n t o a r te a m ny an other M w em e bhearvfeorcaßiugphot him,is in a positionn. So, then, our one in which no Member of the House of C ommons oug ht to be placed. It is degrading to the public, and in sulting to himself. Small thanks to the class of boroughs which only presents an able man to dis honour his ability and his honesty by so base a tenure as that attached to the representation of Ripon. For the rest,lwho and what are they ? The Whigs make much of LordiSeyrnour, and his mediocre talent is conspicuous amid the Lords and Colonel s w ho sur round him. Mediocrity s not to be despised in such a search as this. But how much has it offered to our view of the real working ability, or even of the talking ability of the HOuse ? How many names have we found of those who bear the brunt of discussions, night after night P How '.many of those who labori ously do the business of the House, while the majority are lounging in the smoking-room, or over their wine, . or are far away (but just within reach of the whip pers-in for a division) at balls , o r t h e Cl u bs? How many of those by whom mea s u re s are prepared , and conducted through the House ? How many leaders of parties, or how many effective partizans even? Not:all the fingers of a single band are required for the counting. Small as, compared with the whole mob of Members, is the number of efficient ones, it is not in the little borough returns that we must look for them. We find instead a whole brood of lordlings, batches of baronets, scores of colonels, and lots of law yens. Of the infamous arts and infamous corruptions practised in these boroughs, I say nothing. Let them be as independent as they are known to be en slaved, and as pure as they are known to be corrupt, it signifies not to my present argument. That is quite a separate branch of the great Reform question. I throw all such considerations overboard. The bo roughs have been tried by their fruits. They are bitter and rotten. No justification or palliation is presented of the /gross anomaly of their limit( d numbers, their lack of wealth and importance, their servility or their purchaseability. There is nothing redeeming in the result. Of two or three names, brightening in the darkness of the catalogue, we may safely say that they would be welcome to many a large constituency, and would be more in fluential in the House for the exchange. For the rest, they only serve to make glaring the fact that the House is not a representation, but a misrepresenta tion. They shew how Lords and Colonels and place men, and legal adventurers, find their way there. Whatever adorns the House, or promotes its utility, or sustains for it anything like character in the coun try, must be sought for in the returns of the larger constituencies. There are the men of business, there the men of popular power or public confidence, there the orators, the tacticians, and the statesmen. No rag of an argument remains for these infiaitesimals. By all theories of representation they are inevitably condemned. Utility is their plea, or they have no de fence. "They work well, they send able men ;" that is what the apologists - must say, or they have nothing to say. How far there is any truth in such an allegation the reader is now enabled to judge for himself. Take out Sir James Graham, and a very few others, and the 70 are not worth a basket of rotten figs. They have noses, that is the great merit of most of then, so long as those noses can be counted. Hobnails would serve as well. This nuisance must be cleared away utterly. Anything short of that will deserve to be treated as a mock Reform. Not one of the constituencies which have been enumerated must be left, except as part and parcel, a small fraction, of a larger constituency. A very different class of representatives will then make their appearance. The large constituencies are sometimes jeered at for the Members they return. Some of them, doubtless, have blundered occasionally. But, after all, such constituencies bestow on the House its dignity and utility. They furnish its best means for wholesome legislation. They provide its working men; and, unhappily, till a reform be effected, provide them only to be swamped with the gay but workless classes whom the select few send to outnumber them, and to bath all their efforts. There is not a man in the House who ought to be there, but will be thankful from his heart for deliverance from this nuisance. PUBLICOLA.

F. Burney, R.N., Commander, arrived here this morning with the usual Spanish and Portuguese mails, in charge of Lieutenant Fuge, R.N., Admiralty agent. The Iberia brings 20 passengers, and on freight 10 packages of specie, 578 boxes of oranges, 204 boxes of eggs, 8 cases of wine, 14 barrels of dates, and 31 packages of general merchandise. Her Majesty's ship La Hogue, Captain MTiougall, four days from Lisbon, and ten hours from Tangier, arrived at Gibraltar on the 3d inst. The screw steam ship Nile, six days and a half from Liverpool, arrived on the 3d inst., and cleared for Palermo, Alexandria, and Beyrout. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Dragon, four days and a half from Malta , arr i v ed at Gibraltar on the 4th. The troop-ship Resistance, eighteen days from Malta and ten from Tunis, with invalids for Gibraltar and England, arrived on the sth. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Janus arrived from Tunis on the sth. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Euxine, Captain R. W. Evans, from Southampton, hound to Constantinople, arrived at Gibraltar on the sth, at 5 P.M. The Iberia left the following British vessels of war in the Tagus on the 9th :—the Prince Regent, 90 ; the Leander, 50; the Arethuss, 50; the Dauntless, 33. The Rosamond steamer had coaled at the Tagus, and proceeded to Madeira, en route for the West Indies. Le Newton, French steamer, was the only other foreign vessel of war left at Lisbon by the Iberia. The Lisbon exchanges for bills at three months are quoted by this mail at 53i for London ; Pis, 532 ; Amsterdam, ; Hamburgh, 48i Ge ar noa, 531. Bills on London had continued scarce, and money re mained over at the above q uotation, something having been done even at 531. Nothing had been done in stocks after the ap. pearance of the capitalization decree on the 4.11, when the quotations wort—Five per Cents., 47 to 471 ; Four per Cents., 37k to 38k ; Bank of .Portu gal Shares, 88 to 86 milreis discount per share in Lisbon Bank notes, which had risen from a discount of lk to 31 per cent. Oporto Bank Shares were still at 16 to 18 milreis premium in metal. The Iberia brings letters from Lisbon of the 9th instant, when the public panic respecting the capitali zation of dividends, Ste., had in a great measure sub sided. The Cortes were to meet on the 15th, when that and other decrees, with a Ministerial project of law for the reform of certain articles of the Charter, would be submitted for the approval of the House of Deputies. An Oporto letter states that transactions to the ex tent of from 6,0001. to 8,0001. were done in exchange on London at from 531 to 54 for ordinary paper, ner a we nd roavtseee at sen2.uoß s e3rE 3 oac i f of the Everything yeeor Brazilian Oporto paperipnfirst-ratelogerstison appearing bills at i9eo theda y date, m a' rk e t.

The damage is comparatively trifling, the flooring and tome of the school %tinge only being destroyed. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Captain Preston, of Boardhill, Cuck field died on Monday night. The illness which ended ' with the death of the gallant efficer, lasted but a few days , and his demise came sudd en l y on us. The Sussex' Ex nress says :—" In noticing the decease of this gen ,leman we must be allowed to make a few remarks, as we well know that he will not only be missed, but wanted during the winter, and for years to come. As a magistrate he did his duty, sternly but truly ; as a friend and neighbour he was esteemed and highly respected ; and to the poor he was a friend indeed, and many a poor fellow without a crust will this year miss Captain Preston. He married Miss Mangles, of Surrey, and hts left a son and daughter. The de- mise lately of his eldest son, quite a youth, seemed to prey, on his mind for a long period, and it ha s been noticed that he has scarcely been himself since." APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant—H. 3.

PORTSMOUTH, Surrnax.—The Cyclops, steam - transport, Master Commander Hoffmeister, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morning from the Cape. She left Table thy the 13th October; touched at St. Helena, where she took on board some old stores, left the 28th ; arrived at Ascension the 31 November, and sailed again on the 6th; and on the 6th made Porto Prayo, where the following American men-of war were at anchor, viz.:—The corvette Gormans town, the John Adams, and Porpoise, b r i gan ti n e. The Cyclops has made her passage home under sail principally. She is a slow coach nnder either steam or sail. She proceeded last night to Sheerness, where the commander, officers, and crew will be turned over to the Megrera, iron screw troop-ship. The Birkenhead has taken in provisions for five months, and completed her coal and water, and is now all ready for the conveyance of another regiment to the Cape, or any other service that may be re quired of her to perform. She will probably go to Spithead. The Arrow ketch, has been brought down and docked, and will be commissioned and take the place of the Sparrow, now surveying on the coast of Ireland. We much regret to announce the death of a most worthy and estimable gentleman, 'William Thompson, Esq., J.P., retired surgeon, R.N., 1796, who died at his residence, Park-lane, Southsea, on Sunday morn ing, aged 74. He practised as a surgeon till his last illness, making nominal charges only. He did much good in his immediate neighbourhood, where he was universally respected. He was also for many years an active and useful magistrate for the borough of Portsmouth. Rear-Admiral J. W. D. Dundas, C. 8., M.P., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, arrived here on Friday night, and partook of the hospitality of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C.B. Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock he went on board the Britannia, 120, fitting for the flag-ship in the Mediterranean, where he remained until three r.m. He dined with the Commander-in• Chief Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., at the Admiralty-house, in the evening. The Britannia's complement will be 970 officers and men, and she is expected to be ready for sailing in February, in company with the Rodney, 92, Captain Graham, C.B. The following Second Masters passed examination for Masters, at the Royal Naval College last week : Messrs. W. Smith, J. M. Pridham, R. C. Hutchinson, and E. J. Kemp. The following officers (acting lieutenants and mates) passed in navigation, at the Royal Naval College last week :—Messrs. H. P. Bance, J. Tuson, J. Forster, W. H. Hooper, G. J. Dall, J. C. Purvis, J. A. Cary, and R. B. Forster. The quarterly examination of officers on subjects connected with the steam-engine took place last week at :the Royal Naval College, when the following officers obtained high certificates :—Captain John Moore, Captain J. C. D. Hay ; Commanders W. H. Dobbie, and J. H. Brydges ; Lieutenant J. de C. A. Agnew, and Mates E. Field and Thomas Crouse. The Flying Fish, 12, Commander Patey, was paid off at this port yesterday. The Sidon steam-frigate, Commander Gardener, has been put out of commission, and the officers and crew have returned to the Blenheim. The Hope transport arrived at Spitbead on Satur day, from the Thames, to embark troops for Malta. The Echo tug, Mr. Harding in charge, took out about thirty convicts from the Stirling Castle hulk on Saturday, and a similar number from the York, to the Aboukir freight ship at Spitbead, which, after shipping them, dropped down to Cowes, to embark others from Parkhurst, thence proceeding to Portland to take in others for transportation. Rear. Admiral Dundas remains the guest of Rear- Admiral Prescott until Tuesday. PLYMOUTH, 14.—Captains Pixley and Stickle bank, two of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity house, paid an official visit to this port during the week, in consequence of representations made by . the Chamber of Commerce here in reference to an im provement in the system of pilotage. The Earl of Morley, cbairman, and Mr. W. Hawker, deputy chairman, and several influential members of the chamber, had an interview at Elliott's Royal Hotel on Friday, where Mr. Stewart, Collector of Customs, Captain Walker, R.N., and Mr. W. B. Cuming, the three Sub-Commissioners of Pilotage, were also in attendance. The objections to the present mode arise chiefly from the fact that many of the pilots possess trawling boats and other property, which withdraws their attention from the merchant ship ping resorting to the harbour. We understand that it is proposed to establish six bond fide pilot cutters, each to have two first-class and two second class pilots on board. One of these is always to be stationed off the Dodman, to the westward of the port, one near the Eddystone, and one to the east ward, near Startpoint; the other three will be in har bour, refitting or otherwise. The distance money which has always been a subject of dispute, is to be reduced, and it is said that ships belonging to the port are hereafter to employ and pay pilots. The present revenue of the pilots is about 1,6001. per annum. The number now on the roll is 35. Her Majesty's ship Nile was placed in the dock on Friday to have her copper examined. The steam-vessel Avon arrived the same day from Portsmouth. The frigate Havannah is at the rubble bank moor ing. She will probably be paid off on Tuesday. The Inconstant is in dock preparatory to being fitted for commission. The Britannia will be paid advance of wages hero previous to sailing for the Mediterranean. Ascendant convict-ship sailed on Friday with male convicts for Bermuda. _ Lieutenants Evans and Walton, with a detachment from the Woolwich division, are under orders to pro ceed to join the London, 90, at Sheernesss ; the rest of the detachment will be supplied from the Chatham division. p du rn o od r ye o ar t n e t tah: foure 0 f same 8- g DEATH OF MAJOR PATauatcaz.---The death o f Major Philip Patriarche, R.M., broth er o f t h e l ate Capt.

At a meeting of the Commissioners of Taxes for the Tower division, held on Wednesday last, at their office, in Spital• square, among the very numerous appellants was one from the parish of Spitalfields,who objected to the mode in which the land-tax was levied in the district, and pointed out the clauses in the Acts of Parliament, by which the Commissioners were bound to make an equal pound rate. This was met by the Commissioners with the old answer, that although it was in opposition to the words of the Act of Parliament and to the opinion expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, the rate was made and could not be altered. The Chairman stated, if we had done wrong the Queen's Bench must decide that. The same gentlema❑ then appealed against his rate, on the ground of inequality in the pariah. The parish of Spitalfields had been lately surveyed for the purposes of a poor's rate, and the rating to the land-tax had been based on such survey, with one exception, which was the large brewery in the parish, which was rated to the poor at 3,0001. per annum, but the assessors had put it at 2,0001. to the land-tax. This altera tion, at the present rate of Is. 6i. in the pound, made a considerable difference to the rest of the land-tax payers in the parish. This point was met by the statement that any appeal to alter the rate, however unjustly levied, must be made within fourteen days after the assess ment is made, and could not be entertained after the rate was in the course of collection. By this deci sion it would appear, that no appeal on such grounds can ever be heard ; for before the rate is in the course of collection, no person can examine the books, ex cepting to see the rating of his own property. Altogether the gentleman appeared to puzzle the board sadly by his ready reference to the Acts of Par- liament on the subject of the land-tax. The appeals against the house-tax were very nu merous, and it was very evident that no uniform sys tem of rating had been adopted, some parishes being assessed on the poor•rate and others on the property tax valuation. Morning Advertiser. DREADFUL BOILER EXPLOSION. Dais Ton, DEC. 13.—A fatal boiler explosion took place yesterday afternoon at the Sound well Lower Pit, Kingswood, near this city, the property of Mr. Whittuck. One man named Thomas Waller, was killed on the spot, and others were severely injured. The boiler, it seems, bad been at work for some four or five years, and just before the accident the engine, which is of 20-horse power, and had been examined only the previous day, had hauled up " a journey" of men and sent down a cart of timber. The men at the bottom of the pit were engaged in taking this out when the accident occurred, and it being pay-day, a large number had also congregated round the mouth of the pit. The noise of the explosion of course created the utmost alarm among them, the engine house being completely shattered to pieces and the bricks scattered in every direction. Besides this up wards of twenty feet of the chimney stack was knocked to atoms, and the boiler itself, weighing many tons, was projected to a distance exceeding 100 feet, com pletely ploughing up the portion of the field in which it fell. The engineer, George Bush, escaped unhurt. The deceased man Waller occupied the post of "ranger" at the pit, and at the time of the accidenthe was attending to the fire. Another man, 'lamed Francis Fowler, was so severely scalded that he was compelled to be taken to the Bristol Royal Infirmary. From inquiry made to-day we ascertain that be is progressing favourably. Another individual, John Palmer, was also severely scalded, and compelled to be sent home. The de ceased man Waller was frightfully injured, both his legs and arms being broken ; he died while being re moved to biz own residence. The proprietor, Mr. Whittuck, at the time of the explosion was in the counting-house waiting to pay the men. Three of the windows were completely knocked to pieces. The poor fellow Waller was a married man, and has left five children to deplore their loss. Fowler is a single man, and Palmer married, with seven children. It would perhaps be premature till the inquest has been held to state the immediate cause of the explosion, but from the inquiries on the spot made by our corre spondent he has little reason to doubt that it vas mainly attributable to a deficiency of water in the boiler. The affair has excited the greatest interest in the neighbourhood, and the scene of the accident was to-day visited by many people. The distance to which the boiler was carried was the subject of muck comment. BRIDGE-HOUSE ESTATES COMMITTEE On Friday evening the members of the Bridge house Estates Committee, connected with the Corpo ration of the city of London, held their annual meeting at Gerard's Hall; Mr. H. L. Taylor, Esq., presided. Subsequently the gentlemen present dined together, the chairman being supported upon the occasion by the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Humphery, M.P., Edward Lawes, Esq. (chairman of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers), Ferdinand Brand, Esq. (chairman of the Bridge-house Estates), Thomas Rowley, Esq., Thomas Macgregor, Esq , William Marden, Esq., William Sanderson, Esq., Julius Va lery, Esq., H. Liss, &c. After the usual loyal toasts had been given and heartily responded to, "The health of the Right lion. the Lord Mayor" was given, to which his Lordship briefly but effectively replied. Upon that of the chairman (11. L. Taylor, Esq.) being given, the chairman said that it gave him much plea sure upon that occasion, it being the termination of his year of offici in that capacity, while returning thanks for the honour they had done him in drink ing his health, to propose that of Edward Lawes, E. , q. ' chairman of the Metropolitan Sewers Commis sion. He (Mr. Taylor) felt great pleasure in seeing ' that gentleman present as the guest of a committee of the corporation of the city of London, as he (Mr. Taylor) had, from his connexion with the Metropoli tan Commission, ample opportunities of knowing the kindly feelings that existed on the part of the West end Commission towards the corporation of L on d on. —(H ear.) Mr. Lawes, in return, remarked that he could assure the gentlemen present that he, and he might say his brother commissioners, reciprocated all that had been said by his friend, the respected chair man of the Bridge-house Estates Committee, as re garded the anxious wish of the Metropolitan Com missioners to co-operate with th e City authorities to do all in their power in reference to the great question of drainage, and the sanitary improvement u :f stn the io entire metropolis. He also expatiated largely upon the great advantages arising from municipal govern ment, of which he considered the corporation of the city of London to form an admirable example. The party then proceeded to view the beautiful crypt be neath Clerard's-hall, one of the finest specimens of irPast Eight, tocominence at Nine o'clock.
