After ten years' experienoo, the Proprietors of the Gray's Inn Wine Establishment have the satisfaction of knowing that the liberalized spirit of enterprise with which they commenced ' 0 business has accomplished the object they hoped to obtain—the contitinally increasing confidence and patronage of the public. It wa s seen that, while enlightened principles and improved sytton of lousiness were being extended to almostevery branch of commerce, the WINE and SPIRIT TRADE partook of little of thoso advantages—the consumers in many instances being supplied from small dealers, who frequently, from acci dental or necessitous circumstances, were thrown into the wine trade without the sligh test claim to a knowledge of its princi ples, possessing little or no capital, generally the most incom petent judges of 'the articles they profess to understand; and, from all these wises, perfectly unable to protect the interests end health of their customers. Thus a wide field was open for well-directed capital and exertion. The Proprietors associated themselves with a gentleman edu cated from his youth upwards into a full knowledge and ac quaintance with every department of their business, embarked a largo capital, opened direct communications, and ultimately established intimate relations with the wine growers and ship pers of all coantriec, thereby placing themselves in the most favourable position to take advantage of both the Home and Foreign Markets. They have always soli at a fixed and mode rate profit, which, together with their increasing desire to gra tify both the tastes and wishes of their friends, has enabled them to succeed in raising their Establishment to its present eminence. The Bonded, as well as the Duty-paid Stock, embraces every variety of Wine, from the most economical up to the highest possible quality. Gentlemen who prefer it can make their se lection of Pipes, Ilogsheads, or Quarter-Casks, in the Decks. In the Duty-paid Stock there are always from Forty to Fifty Pipes of Wine on Draught, of which any quantities may be luta. The J3ottled Stock contains front Five to Six Thousand Dozen of Port Wine of the hest Vintages, from two to ten years in bottle; the whole at the lowest prices consistent with the quality offered. The most various and most curious of the Sherries shipped hi the Bay of Cadiz are to be found in their possession, and offer it rich treat to the Connoisseur in really Pure and Virgin Wine. The Proprietors, in retarning their best thanks to the Public for the c•Otantly-increasing encouragement their exertions have Est with, beg to add, that their Business will continue, as it Isas continued since the Ist January, 1634, under the di rection @C AB . . Kislingbury, the _Managing Partner ; and their gratitude will stim ulate tbesn still further, if possible, to de serve its entire confidence. HENEKEY, KISLINGBURY, and CO. .

II PRICE Od. BURIAL OF THE DEAD TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sift,— Knowing your anxiety to reform all corrupt prac tices, and to cleanse the Church, as Hercules did the Au gean stable, I beg leave to inform you of a most outrage ous deed performed by the present incumbent of Stone, the Rev. Gibson Lucas, a little tin - . 0 ago. A poor girl, aged twelve, was burnt to ,death by accident at O u l ton one mile from Stone, and was sent to be interred at Stone: Because the funeral happened to be five minutes late-_it was not more, for I vr_s there—the Rev. Parson refused to let the corpse enter the Church, and after all the remon strances that the family could make he still refused; the consequence was, that the body was taken to the grave, and only half the proper service read over her. The language that passed between the Parson and an uncle of the de ceased in the churchyard was unbecoming, and many pre sent cri..d shame. EL - r relations are too poor to be able to make any remonstrance with the Bishop, but I am cer tain that if the Bishop did know of it he would severely censure him. I have waited some time, expecting that some one more capable than lam would have taken it up, but no one appearing, I am unwilling that such an act should pass unnoticed, and therefore have written to you. My name is quite at your service, if you don't like to print this anonymously. Most of the parishioners can bear me out in my statement. I remain, your very obedient servant, Stone, Dec. 19, 1840. T. P. LOur Correspondent will re that we have slightly al tered some parts of his letter. Might not the clergyman, if he were called to account by the Bishop, say—the pa rents of the child did not come with the body at the time appointed, and if I IA ere nut punctual I could not perform my parochial engagements? At all events, the clergyman by this conduct tells these poor people that the entrance of the body into the church is not a necessary part of the funeral service, and may lead them to suspect that there are other ceremonies also that may be safely dispensed with.] PUBLICATIONS.

(From the New York Herald,.of the Ist inst.) Fanny Elssler is in town, having returned from Phi-. ladelphia a tow days since. She is taking a little re pose after the fatigue of a long season. She has rea lized probably nearly $20,000 during the past season. In a few days she will take her departure for Charleston, Havana, and New Orleans, where a brilliant season awaits her. Remaining in the " soft south " till next spring, she will return and embark for Europa in May or June next. It is expected that her southern trip will yield her $30,000 at least. John Braham recently returned from Boston, where he was brilliantly received, and is new in Philadelphia for a few days, until he makes his debut at the Park. He has given three concerts in each of the large At lantic cities, which have probably yielded him 5,000 or $6,000, if not more. He is enthusiasti cally admired wherever he goes. He does not go south this season, but remains in the Atlantic States, reaping a splendid harvest during the whole season, The Woods go south in a few days. As it is the first visit Mrs. Wood has ever made to New Orleans, we expect she will he brilliantly received. No vocalist of such power, science, and skill, ever yet visited New Orleans. Mr. Wood himself is as brilliant a singer as an actor, and will be very popular in the south. Leffler returns to England in the British Queen to morrow. His return has been partly caused by the bad water of New York, which, since his arrival, he drank in such large quantities as to affect his health. Brough, a capital singer, and a gentleman every inch, remains, and probably goes south with the Woods. For the last month past, the city theatres have not been well attended, although some few particular per formances have drawn full audiences. Operatic pieces have proved the m..st attractive, and of the two rival troupes, that which was led by the Woods decidedly bore off the palm. The National troupe, though drilled with great care by De Begnis and Penson, has not an swered the expectations of the management, and cer tainly has not proved remunerative. The next experi ment is to be on Moz irt's Don Juan, which is now i n the course of rehearsal. De Begnis, Seguin and his wife, Guibilci, Miss Poole, W. H. Williams, and Horn castle, are to have parts in the rule. Lecompte's ballet corps vias also put in requisition for a fen nights, but their exertions proved abortive, and Madame's" lute resting family has now gone south. At Philadelphia, last week, the stars were Power, Forrest, and Hervio Nano. The first was at Burton's, the second at the Chesnut-street, and the third at Dinneford's, where also are playing Mesdames Flynn, Mitchell. and other belles from the Bowery boards. Racket is at Baltimore, playing Sir John Falstaff, Hain let, and King Lear, by turns. John lt. Scott supports him. Browne, Mrs. Shaw, Miss Melton, and Abbott are at Charleston. Lewis Fitzgerald Tasistro made his debut at New Orleans on the 19th ult. as Othello. A French troupe direct from Paris was also playing in that city. At Galveston, Texas, a company of Thespians are doing Suakspeare to the great delight of the natives. A Madame Thielman is the directress of the troupe. Latham, the buffo singer, is about embarking for Kings ton, Jamaica, with a company made up in this city. QUARREL OF FRANCE WI ex MOROCCO. (From the Univers.) The difference between France and the Empire of Mo rocco originated in the following incident : —A Spahi, taken prisoner by Abd-el- Nader, having effected his escape to Mogador, applied to the Consul of France in that town fir relief, and for means to return either to France or to Algeria. M. Dslaporte, the Consul, gave him some money and sent him to an inn. The Spahi, having inquired if there were any French merchants in the place, was addressed to Messrs. F—. and Cremieux, who gave him the necessary articles of an European's costume. A few days afterwards, the Governor, being informed that a Moor, partly dressed in the European style, and who called hinisclt a Frenchman, had been met in the streets, invited the Consul to present him. M. Delaporte accordingly waited upon him with the Moor, and accom panied by Messrs. F— and Crimieux. The Governor, having asked the Spahi whether he was a Jew, a Moor, or a Christian, the latter replied—" I am a Moor, and shall ever be our ; but I am an Algerian, and consequently a Frenchman." " Thou art a Moor," exclaimed the Go vernor, " and thou dressest like an European, and thou recognisest Christians for thy masters. Thou knowest, nevertheless, that this is contrary to our laws ?" The Spahi, confused by the apostrophe, hesitated to answer, when M. Cremieux approached and whispered a few words in his car. The Governor asked him why lie pre sumed to interfere, when his Consul was present. M. Cremieux, having returned an insolent reply, the Governor flew into a rage, ordered him to retire, and pushed him violently. M. Cremieux resis ed, and struck a soldier who had collared him. M. F— ran to the as sistance of his nephew, and had to contend with another soldier, M. Delaporte interposed his authority without being able to separate them or prevent the Sp -:lii from brillg taken to prison. A few minutes after a Moor having struck M. F— in the street, the Governor disapproved of Lis conduit, and offered M. Delaporte to have the Moor flogged on the spot where the offence was committed. The Colisul having declared that in order to satisfy him the bostinado shun' d be inflicted in front of the consular house, the Governor raid no ftn ther attention to the affair. 'The next d ty Messrs. F— and Cremieux, being determined on quittie,g :Wog* lor,we.. t dawn to the harbour for the purpose of embarking in a Sardi nian vessel moored in the roads, but the customs officers would not allow them to go on board without a permit. They then called on the Consul, who sent one of his at taches to the Governor to protest against the breach of the privileges enjoyed by Frenchmen, who, by the treaties are at liberty freely to enter and leave the harbours of Morocco ; but this functionary not heeding his message, the Consul struck his flag, and having proceeded to the house of the British Vice-Consul with the French residents, and the Vice-Consul having put on his uniform, they repaired in a body to the residence of the Governor, when M, Delaporte an nounced to him that his authority being no longer re spected he had placed himself and his countrymen under British protection, and no longer considered himself Con. sul of France at Mogador. He immediately afterwards apprised the Consul-General, at Tangiers, of his resolu tion, and the Governor reported the whole affair to the Emperor. The latter, it appears, approved of the conduct of his subordinate, threw the whole blame on the {Tench Consul, and required his dismissal float that poet. On the 23d ult., the date of the last accounts from Tangiers, the European population lived in constant alarm from the exasperation of the Moors, and Messrs. F— and Critnieux had ever since been afraid to quit their lions,eS. A brig of war had been ordered to Mogador I nevertheless, there was every probability that the difference would be ad,jost e d without a rupture. 160 3,4 10 R•24 , ?4, 254 IGO 117 We have to record in our palitical obituary the deaths of two Chartist journal*, the Western Star and the Northern Liberator.

Sir,—Permit me "to address you upon a subject in my opinion most important, as regarding the se;tlenaent and removal of illegitimate children born since the :oast ieg of the New Poor-law Act, of Irish and Scotch parents not having gained any legal settlement in Eng land and Wales. Prior to the passing of the above named Act, the legitimate, but not the illigi timate children were removable, with their parente, to Ireland and Scotland (vide Rex v. Benet and Broulzh ton), but, since the passing of the Act, orders of Jose tires are applied for, and invariably obtained by Vestry clerks at the Mansile-house fur the removal of iilegiti• mate children with their parents, grounding theirlrac tice, I suppose, upon the enactment contained in the 7 lit clause of the said New Poor-law Act, "That every chill e hich shall be born a bastard after the passing of the Act, shall have and follow the settlement of the the tnJther of such child." Allow me, Sir, in my elm• city of Relieving -officer of the City of -.Lyndon Union, but no lawyer, to say that my opinion of the legality of such removal of illegitimate children is at variance with the common and adopted practice of parish officers. I think that the 71st clause clearly luis relation only to the bastard children of women who have gained settlements in England and Wales, and not to bastards of Scotch and Irish women without a settlement, the new Poor-law Amendment Act,according to Mr. Ju stice Patteson, being " partly and exclusively English." My object, Sir, in writing is 'to request inforraa4n how to proceed in the following- case,--which, altitoetih a common case, I consider to be of importance, and which bears upon the preceding part of my letter. I am about to apply on Monday next at the Man sion-House, for an order of Justices to remove a bas tard child out of oat of the City parishes to a parish in the country, it being born there, and its mother being a Scoteliwoman, not having gained any settlement in England or \Vales. The mother is unwilling to be passed to Scotland with her child, but wishes the child to be removed to its birth-place. Now, Sir, as I stated before, the ge,ncral practice here has been to remove such child with its parent di Scotland or Ireland, but of the legality of such pro ceedings I hive my doubts ; and I intend, consequently, to apply for an order to remove it to its place of birth , , i:s settlement. But, before taking such a step, I have presumed to ask your opinion upon the subject, corisi derieg it to be a matter of great importance ; and should 1 prove right in my opinion, so directly opposite to the prevailing practice and opinion of most of the parish officers, I flatter myself that such a general violation of the law of removal in such cases deserves publicity, in , order to ,ffect a more just admhistration of the law, and a better understanding of the same. I am, Sir, your respectful, obedient servant, J. J 1 ) P, It. 0. Ta Edwin Chadwick, Esq., Somerset-House. REMOVAL OF BASTARD CHILDREN BORN OF SCOTCH OR IRISH PARENTS. Poor-law Commissioners' Office, Somerset-Huuse. Sir.—The Poor-law Commissioners acknoWledgp the receipt of your letter of the 28th Navember, and have had under their consideration your inquiry upon the subject of the settlement and removal of illegitimate children born since the passing of the Poor Law Amend ment Act of Irish or Scotch parents not having gained any legal settlement in England or Wale s , Before the passing of the Poor-law Amendment Aet, it was decided whe❑ Scotch and Irish women had gained no settlement, their bastards born in England acquired a settlement by birth where born', and were therefore not removeab:e with their mothers to Ireland or Scot- Lind.—(See It. v. Bennett and Broughton, cited by. Mr, Justice Pattcso❑ in It. v. Mile End Old Town, This still remains the law, unless the law be altered by the 71st section of the Poor-law Amendment Act (4th and 5:11 William 1 V., cap. 76), which enacts, " That every child which shall be born a bastard after the passing of the Act shall have end follow the settle• inent.of the mother." Where the mother has a settlement, or acquires one, this settlement supersedes the settlement of bastards by birth in a parish. But there is no repeal of the settle ment by birth in the class of eases in which the mother has not, and does not acquire a settlement. It appears to the Commissioners to be 'quite evident that this settlement has effect only in cases where the mother has, or acquires, a settlement, which the child can ha% eor follow. \\There the mother has no settle ment, there is no settlement for the child to have or follow under the provision. The Commissioners arc of opinion that in the CaSII4 of unsettled Irish or Scotch mothers of bastard children, the 71st section•of the Poor-law Amendment Act, hail no operation ; and they ara further of opinion that sea children are settled where born, os before the Poor-law Amendment Act, and therefore are not remoreahle to Ireland or Scotland with their mothers.

ADJOURNED INQUEST. —The Jury astembled at the Swan Inn, Ashton, on Thursday, where Mr. Rutter met thin at eleven o'cicck, and Mr. Newton being of opi nion that no witnesses could yet be brought up whose evidence •.‘ as material, the inquest was again adjourned for a week, to afford time for further inquiries by the, police. We have heard several of the rumours afloat, which seem to point strongly to parties supposed to be implicated in this diabolical deed ; but as a publication of the circumstances, if correct, might tend to frustrate the ends of justice, while, if wrong, they might throw imputations upon the characters of men unnecessarily-4 we have thought it advisable to withhold them, O n Wednesday we understand that the Secretary off the Sawyers' Society, Samuel Hardwick, the t wo . Stewards, Henry Hardwick and Edward Davis, to with two other sawyers, John "Williams and Peter rl'hompsln, were taken More the Magistrates at Ashton, William Wright, Esq., John Grintshaw, ESC ! , James Jowett, Esq., and Jonah Harrop, Es q ., for examination, on suspicion of being concerned in the cram ; but the police applied to have them remanded, stating that it was probable evidence might be forth coming against them which was of importance. Mr. Taylor, of Bridge -street, Manchester, appeared on ho, hall of the priAmet s, and objected to their being re manded ; but the Chairman said there seemed to ho an impression on the public mind that the Sawyers' Union knew something of the circumstances connected with. this man's death, and, therefore, it was proper that tile prisoners, belonging, as they did, to the Union, should be kept in custody at least a sufficient time to allow proper inquiries to be made as to their guilt or inns:). cenee. They were, therefore, remanded till this day. It is stated that in the accounts published by some of our contt mporaries, of the attempt to destroy Mr. Whitfield's house by powder, some imputation was indi rectly cast upon the conduct of the watchman who de teted the parties and frustrated the attempt—a watch man who was said to have been a sawyer. From infor mation we have received it appears that there was - .tot the least ground for this imputation. The opini:in ex pressed by those who have heard all the facts is, that he acted in a most discreet and praiseworthy manner on the occasion. NN'e are informed that the investigation now going on, is likely to lead not only to the apprehension of the parties implicated in the present horrible murder, but in the diabolical attack made on a party of Mr. AVUt field's men on their way to Manchester,. as reel:riled b y us some weeks ago, when injuries were Inflicted on one of them, from the effects of which he died. Where c an he no doubt that both these deeds have been the result of some conspiracy on the part of the men thrown out of work by the late disagreer.ient between them soil their employers ; and, resulting as they have in crimes of such daring atroelt: f , it is time that the strictest in vestigation shoul',l be instituted by the authorities, ail no expensc or exertions spared to disceiier the offenders, that they may he brought to justice: A state of sa elely more fearful than that which the prosecution: of such crimes as these would lead to, if allowed to escape unpunished, can scarcely be contemplated, and it is to ho hoped that a clue by which the perp e t rators may be discovered willb e spee dil y obtained.—Manchesterrimeas THE LATE 'MURDER. _As stated in our last , ther e are six persons in custody charged with being con cerned in th e Bishop-bridge murder. It has been distinctly made out that five persons were on the Bridge at the time. two of whom actually committed the murder. Four of these persons are amongst the six in custody, and it is equally well-kno w n that Doolan lodged with these four in the house of William Gray, Auchenearn. The murder was committed by a heavy kitche» poker, taken from Gray's house on the morning the deed was committed.
