NEW LONDON DEPOT FOR BURTON ALES.

Vetterdny a number of gentlemen assembled by
invitation to witneos the up, ning by the Messrs. Ailsopp
and Sons, of a new London depot, in Hsydon-square,
Minories. This depot is of great extrnt, covering an area
of 20,000 sq ;are feet ; the firm having previously had one
' at Poplar, used for the export trade, of equal extent, and a
general store at Blackwell, comprising 25,000 square feet.
The new depot is most complete of its kind, and in all its
arrangements seems well adapted for the carrying on a
most extensive business. It has been formed within the
last twelve months out of a large block of ware-
houses which previously belong,.l to the East India
Dock Company, and consists of several spacious rooms and
cellars, which are already tilled with barrels of ale from the
brewery at Burton. It is connected by a small branch
railway with the Blackwell Itsilway, this branch having
been constructed by the London and North Western Com-
pany under a working arrangement with the Messrs. All-
sop; and thus, by means of the Trent Valley line, the
London and North Western line, the West India Dock
Junction, the Blackwell line, and this small junction,
Messrs. Alleopps' ales are actually conveyed continuously
from their brewery at Burton into the very centre of the
new depot. After a lengthened inspection of these pre-
mises the party proceeded to the export depot at Poplar,
where they witnessed the processes of corking and wiring
performed by boys with a rapidity strikingly illustrative of
the economic value of the division of labour.

THE INTERMENT OF THE DEAD.

Sir W. Molesworth, who has charge of the Burial
Grounds Bill, received a deputation from the committee of
the Anti. State Church Association on Tuesday last, when
the following members of parliament were present :—Mr.
Hadfield, Mr. Hershtw, Mr. Miall, Mr. Crossley, Mr. Fol-
lett, Mr. Hayworth. and Mr. Bell. Mr. J. Carvell Wil-
liams, the secretary, presented a statement of objections to
the ecclesiastical provisions of the measure, which embraced
the extraordinary power given to the bishops to prevent
the opening of grounds until they are Attisfied with the ar-
rangements, the invidious distinctions intended to be made
between consecrated and unconsecrated grounds, and the

...massacre manifested to secure to tire estaillehment,
in grounds having no connexion with &arches, all the
'rights and advantages they now possess in parochial
alsurchyards, the wishes and feelings of dissenters
being altogether disregarded. It was insisted that
diamaten should be enabled to bury their dead,
and to have their own ministers in any part
of the ground, consecrated or unconsecrated as is
the case in the parochial churchyar.l in Ireland and
Scotland, and that they should in all respects he placed on
the same tooting es members of the establishment. The
members of the deputation strongly urged the impolicy of
perpetuating under a new system all the offensive regula-
tions which have long been considered as grievances, and
expressed an opinion that if the government would deal
with the matter in an enlarged and liberal spirit, and
resolutely set themselves against the extortionate demands
of the bishops and elergy, they would he sustained by the
country. Sir William Molesworth expressed his concur-
/ESP in most of the sentiments which had been advanced, and
his desire to give full effect to the principles of religious
equality, though he feared that members of the establish.
meat would feel that their conscientious feelings were not
respected, if a portion of the burial grounds were not con-
secrated to the exclusive use of the Church of England
As Lord Palmerston was about to bring forward a general
measure, he should not at present proceed beyond the
second reading of the bill, to the principle of which he un-
derstood the deputation did not object. After a lengthened
interview the deputation withdrew, thanking Sir William
for the opportunity afforded them of putting hint in pos-
session of their view..

THE FIRE AND Loss of LIFE IN HATTON GARDEN.
—Yesterday, Mr. T. Wakley, assisted by Mr. Brent, re-
sumed at the Holborn Union, Gray's-inn-lane, the ad-
journed inquest on the respective bodies of Andrew
Stephens and Emily Curtis, who perished in the fire which
occurred on the premises numbered 107, Hatton-garden, on
the 25th of June last. When several witneues had been
(maligned, and the coroner had summed up the evideuse,
I the jury 7returned a verdict to the effect that the two di-
,' ceased were burned to death in the fire, but bow the AAA
ire occurred there was no evidence to prove.

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, WEDNECMY.
Popular discontent is still openly manifested in
the important city of Liege, and further disturbances
are apprehended by the authorities, who have for-
bidden all assemblages in the public streets of more
than five persons, and have ordered all the cafes,
estaininets, and other places of public resort,
to be closed at 9 p.m. Inflammatory placards
of a very violent description were affixed last
night to numerous buildings in Ghent. In Brussels
the dearness of provisions is loudly complained of by
the working classes, but up to the present time they
have refrained from all illegal proceedings. There
was a further increase, this day, in the Brus-
sels markets, in the price of corn and po-
tatoes. The corn supply was scanty, the in-
telligence from Liege raising many apprehensions in
the minds of the farmers in the vicinity of this
capital.

THAMES HAVEN DOCK AND RAILWAY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. LOWDEN in the chair.
The following report was read:
"The directors have to report that the bill introduced
into parliament to enable the company to abandon part of
the line was duly proceeded with, and met with but slight
opposition, and that it hu received the royal assent. The
Thames Haven line, therefore, now consists of but four
miles of railway, exclusive of its docks. During the in-
terval arrangements have been made as well to settle claims
arising out of the abandonment as for lands reepired for
the works, and, with but a trifling exception, et may be
stated that all land claims are arranged. The works are
let to Mews. Pete, Betts, and Brainy, upon terms which
the directors are advised are fair and reasonable. The
works will be commenced as soon as the extension of the
Tilbury line is so forward as to make the commencement

necessity."

Trinidad, 9th ; Barbadoes, 1 lth ; Antigua, 13th ;
Martinique, 12 ; Grenada, 3rd ; Porto Rico, 13th ;
St. Thomas, 15th.

The Magdalena brought several passengers.

houses, and wounded several of the inhabitants. On
a request being made to Mr. Cameron, the company's
superintendent at St. Thomas's, on the 7th Aug., the
Magdalena was sent to Antigna for troops to be con-
veyed
to Tortola to quell the insurrection. She took
on board 3 sergeants and 47 rank and file of the 2nd
West India Regiment, and 2 sergeants and 35 rank

BRITISH GUIANA.

The Demerara Royal Gazette says :
The weather still continues excessively warm and moist,
and canes and medical practice arc consequently in a
flourishing condition. The toll estates' chimney now be-
gines to volley forth its smoke is most quarters of the.coun.
try ; but complaints are still general that the yield of the
cane is indifferent. We shall have buildings in full opera-
tion every where within a fortnight. Those conversant
with estates' matters do not anticipate so short a crop as the
long continued dry season led us to expect. There will be
a falling off probably of 4,000 to 6,000 hogsheads, as com-
pared with last year. But this even with the compensat-
ing tact of increasing demand and enhanced price will be,
in Scot4i parlance, &serious " staff out of our bicker."
July and August are proverbially hot months, but this
year they have out- Heroded He rod. As the rain ceases the
sun is intense, and although the alternations are fertilising
they are also fever-giving. There is much sickness abroad,
but except in tie hospital, no yellow fever; nor do we hear
of any of the coup de soled which we observe from Ameri-
can papers is every now and again killing itescores of victims.
Business begins to improve, and will continue to do so as
estates get into operation. Provisions are not abundant,
and consequently dear. Other articles of merchandise ap-
pear to be in fair supply.
Our files of papers from Jamaica have not come to

AlmFit mon' au anis', was charge l with having as-

residing with their parents in Pollard'.-row, Bethnal green.
The first complainant stated, that while on their way
home, after spending the previous evening at a relative's in
Camden-town, thry were suddenly accosted by the prisoner,
who thrust himself between them, and pertinaciously urged 1
them to accept his urm. They hurried on in order to avoid
him, but u the defendant persisted in his impoituniti. 5,
they threatened to give him in charge. They had only
proceeded a short distance further, when they were :gain
overtaken by the defendant, who strud: witnesssucha
violent blow on the back :hat she tell I,rweird on her face,

and severeiy injured her forehead, which came iu contaci
with the edge of a flagstone. The prisoner then started off,
but lie wee closely pursued by her sister and a gentleman
who fortunately came up at the moment, and who ulti-
mately gave him into custody.
Miss Lavinia Baker added that the defendant turned
fiercely round upon her before he commenced his flight, and
also struck her a heavy blow in the side.
In answer to the charge the defendant expressed his
regret for having so greatly misconducted himself, and said
that he had been drinking to such an extent that he had
lost all control over his action..
Mr. D'Evneourt said that be had been guilty of a wanton
and cowardly outrage, and he should order him to pay a
penalty of 51., or to be committed in default fur two months
to the Mouse of Correction.

DIPLOMATIC COSTUME.

-• • -

The United States government has lately given
instructions to its atahasisadors to observe • republican sim-
plicity in dress. The regulation has caused considerable
difficulty to the repreeentatives of the great republic in
Europe. The Nero rock Tribune remarks on this subject:
It seems that Mr. Belmont found et the Hague the
same difficulty in getting access to Court that Mr. Vroom
experienced at Berlin, bat. unlike that geatlemen, he did
not succumb to the requisitions of the royal toggery-
monger. When his Dutch Majesty obj-cted to receiving
the American Charge d'Affaires in citizen's clothes, the
Charlie replied that he must bees received or not at all, and
received he was accordingly. We commend the spirit of
Mr. Behnost all the more beeline thus far we have not
found much else to commend about his officiel career. Ile
did no more than bis duty in standing firm on the clothes
quistion. The demand of the Dutch Court that he should
put on • livery of some sort is order to be received,
was in fact an insult to the American people. This
is • point to which we invite the careful attention of the
public and of Congress. It is • universal rule that a minis-
ter, or Charge d'Affaires, or a private subject, or citizen of
any government, may appear at ley court in that costume
in which he appears at the court of his own sovereign, or in
the presence of the head of his own nation. Thus, a minis-
ter from Chins would be received in Chinese costume, and
one from Turkey in the graceful dress of • Turk. This is
the ease the world over, and at the most punctilious courts.
When Jung Bahadur eame from Nepaul to visit Queen Vic-
toria, be was not required to put on • wig and small clothe.,
but paid his respects to her Majesty in the splendid attire
be was wont to wear before his own monarch at home. Now
we protest spinet allowing any violation of this principle in
the ease of the representatives of this country. Self.
respect should require us to insist on their reception by
foreign potentates in the dress they wear when visiting the
President. Should a military or naval officer be sent as an
Envoy to Europe or elsewhere, it would be very proper for
him to wear his uniform onofficial occasions just as he would
de at home. Bat why should a civilian who has no uniform,
sad would blush to be seen in one at the President's levee,
rig himself out in gold-lace and embroidery at Berlin or St.
Petersburg? Why should an American MOD to do what
oven • barbarian is not required to do, change the officssl
costume of his wuntry for • Chinese petticoat at Pekin. or
a fussy embroidered swallow-tailed velvet, such as the Bless
trious Soule now sports so fascinatingly at Madrid? It is
ea absurdity and adegradation, and we trust Congress will
take the matter in hand, and supply the place of Mr.
Marty's half way aid •asatidsetory circular by a positive
law a the subject."
London, England, 1853-12-29

Business in the home mining stock market to-day
was quiet, and presented no feature of much interest,
with the exception of a rise in Pen-llyne Cuurt
Mine shares, which were in demand on an improve-
ment in the mine. Great Po!goat h shares again show
a tendency towards improvement.
The gold mining shark market was flat in tone,
but with little change in prices, business continuing
very restricted. West Mariposa and Australian
Cordillera shares were rather lower. Of shares in
the discredited adventures sales can with difficulty
be effected. At 4 o'clock Colonial Gold were quoted
to 1 rrem.; Agus Fria, 3 to 3 prem.; Nouveau
Monde, 3 to ; prem.; Great Nugget, 1-16 to 3-16
Fem.
National Brazilian shares (Coeur') were flatter.
Peninsular Mining shares were sensibly lower, dos-
at to 13 prem West Indian decriptions were also
flat; Metcalfe Copper were last quoted Ito 3 prem.
The nominal closing prices of new undertakings are
u follows :—South Devon Consols,3 to 1 prem.; Lewis
Hill Hange,3 to 3 dis.; Clarendou (of Jamaica),par to 3
pin. • Britannia Gold, to I per share ; Mount Carbon
„ to 4 dis.; Kenmare, par to 3 prem.; Conne-
mara, 3 die. to par; Glenaulin, 4to die. ; Aus-

LAW OF SETTLEMENT.

Last night a preliminary meeting to take measures
for bringing about the abolition of so much of the law of
settlement as requires the removal of paupers, and the
equalisation of the poor rates, was held at Joye's School
nom, Docturs'-commons; Mr. WHITESIDE, Common
Councilman of Aldgate, in the chair.
It wee explained by the CHAIRMAN that Mr. Day and I
some other gentlemen had waited upon the Lord Mayor on
Tuesday last, and obtained his promise to give his aid in
furtherance of a more extended agitation than bad yet I
taken place in favour of the proposed alteration of the law,
and if called upon to preside at a meeting in the City of
London on the subject. The purpose of the present meet-
ing was to form a sort of committee to take the preliminary
steps for combining in such agitation all the metropolitan
parishes, instead of leaving, as heretofore, the several pa-
rishes to act separately. He suggested that Mr. Day, the
vestry clerk of St. George, Southwark, who had convened
the present meeting, and Mr. Warwick, should be ap- I
pointed as joint honorary secretaries.
Mr. Day and Mr. Warwick having accepted the office,
the gentlemen present (consisting of four besides the chair-
man, and the two secretaries) were formed into a commit-
tee, with power to add to their number, for communicating
with all the parishes of the metropolis, and taking such
others measures as might be deemed necessary in further-
ance of the object. It was also resolved that steps should
be taken for getting up a requisition from the parochial
officers, and other influential inhabitants of the various
parishes, calling'. upon the Lord Mayor to summon a public
meeting in the City of Loudon for the purpose of petition-
ing parliament to abolish the law of settlement and re-
moval, and to equalise the poor rate.

WESTMINSTER.

William Mitchel, late a watchmaker in Elizabeth-street,
liens-place, Sloane-square, was charged with unlawfully
diet using of property he had had given him to repair.
The prisoner, spins! whom daily complaints had been
made for a length of time by persons who had left watches
and clocks at bis shop and were unable to get them back,
was spprehewled last Saturday night on a warrant, for un-
lawfully detaining a valuable clock, the property of Colonel
Palmer; and upon searching him the officer found above
twenty duplicates, rainy of which related to watches in
pawn. In consequence of that circumstance, added to the
prisoner's declaration that Colonel Palmer's cluck was in
the possession of a Mrs. Holborn, the mother of his appren-
tice, who had rescued it (rem the clutches of a broker, who
kid seized it f.r the rent of hie shop. He was remanded.
Mrs. Holborn now stated that she had paid out the m-
ention fur 31. 14.1 , and had taken possession of Col. Palmer's
dock and another.
The prisoner stated that he informed the broker the
clock was not his, but the man mid he did not care about
that, and took it.
Mr. Arnold said the we must be adjourned, and the
broker summoned. Ile had no doubt Mrs. Holborn had
acted from the beet of motive, in tukimr possession of the
clock, and it might be hard to ask her to rector. it to its
owns r, but if a summons were taken out against her fur its
detension his decisi n must be that she had nu right to it.
Her remedy would be against the prisoner or the broker.
Four other cases having been proved, Holloway, the
officer, intimated that there were several more yet to be in-
vestigated, the prisoner was then remanded.
Ten pounds has been received from the Mercer's, Company
for the poor box.

THE STEAMSHIP HUMBOLDT.

A telegraphic despatch, dated at Halifax, 12th
lutist, states that the Humboldt still held together, but
the wind then was from the east, and that there was no
poodulity of teems her. The cargo was getting out with
culty. Her stern was all under water on the larboard
Ode, es far as the wheelhouse. The engine is very little
&ban the water ■t ow tide; the cargo forward was ell
utter water. The steamer Marion, from New York, ar-
med on the afternoon of the 10th, and was rendering as-
tiqlnee. A later despatch received from Mortimore
Liv-
iagten, Esq , at Halifax, states that the ship was fast break-
tag up, &SG would in all probability soon go to pieces. Only
shoed 200 tens of the cargo will be saved out of the 4.50,
which was on board when eke left Hans. The Halifax
CA/ youth attributes the lose of this vessel to the ignorance
of the person who attempted to pilot her into the horbonr,
sad intimates that he was not an authorised pilot. it says:
There was a more flagrant ease. A fisherman 'p-
pm+ on the deck of a steamship, which, with her cargo,
valued at POO,OOO dollars. He represents himself to he
a pilot, and on being asked for his certificate ewes that he
has left it in his boat or at home. Confiding in his state-
ment, and naturally aezious to secure for their passengers
rest and refreshments in a friendly port, the officers give
him charge of the ship. He alters her course contrary to
their judgment. They remonstrate; he perseveres in his
stupid inerance, and in a few moments she strikes opus
toe Sisters.' and the sea rushes into her with such ra-
pidity that then is no rescue for human life, but by a
frlghtlel squandering and waste of an enormous amount
el capital. To punish that pilot, then, ought to be the first
wise thought of every man interested in the character and
Iron:era, of this tier seaport."

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 23rd publish a report
of the sitting of the Senate on the 22nd, on the mo-
tion proposed by the majority of the comoittee on
the affair of General Narvaez. The principal syeaker
was the Minister of War. He declared that Ge.neral
Narvaez, when in power, had done the very thing of
which he now complained; and that the terms of
the royal decree respecting him were also justified
by those which he had used when minister in de-
priving Captain-General the Marquis de Rodil of his
places, grade, and decorations. 'Cho minister com-
plained of the publication of the remonstrance ad-
dressed by General Narvaez to the Queen. He said
he would not accuse him of having personally caused
it, but thought he was bound to protest against it,in
order to free himself from all suspicion. M. Ito de
Olano replied, and made a warm enloginm on Nar-
vaez, though, he said, he had when in power carried
the principle of authority to excess. In the sitting
on the 23rd the debate was resumed by the Minister
of Marine, and was continued by M. Pena Aguayo,
who maintained the right of the general to return to
the Senate. The Minister of the Interior proceeded
to reply, and was spetking when the post left.
