SLOANE, THE SPECIAL PLEADER.—This unfortu
nate man, who, with his wife, was convicted in February,
1851, at the Central Criminal Court of cruelty to Jane Wil-
bred, his servant, died yesterday morning after a lengthened
illness. The sinking condition of the unhappy man had
been observed for some time past, and through the kindness
of the Rev. Mr. Davis, the ordinary of Newgate, the atten-
tion of some humane persons was drawn to the case. A
medical examination took place, and certificates having been
given by the proper medical officers, showing that any
further imprisonment would be fatal to his existence, a
free pardon was obtained about a week since through the
Home Secretary, and Mr. Sloane was removed to private
lodgings in Goswell-street-road, where he expired yesterday
morning, from the effects of illness arising from mental
anxiety and confinement. We believe the latter few months
of his existence had been made as comfortable as the prison
regulations would allow.
NEW CUSTOmR REGULATIONS AT THE DOCKS.—
The Customs authorities have directed that the following
regulations for the performance of the landing duty at the
Docks be permanently adopted, viz. :.—That the several
docks be divided into stations, and each station placed
specially under landing-waiters to be selected for the pur-
pose of examining and delivering free goods agreeably, to
the regulations of the minutes of the 26th of November,
1851, and the 27th of January, 1852, and to receive from
the warehouse-keepers or other officers of the
Com-
panies the daily requests for landing-waiters..fopro.cfheemir red-
' spective stations, such requests to be initiat d locyit% an
forwarded to the registrar, unless arrangement' a ID made
am:Tinted to the
with the Dock Company's officers for the performance of the
duty required by the officers already
station, without the public business being; impeded or de..
layed for want of the attendance of a sufficient_ number of
officers. That the landing-waiters so selected do exercise a
general supervision over all goods landed on their stations,
and not allow any goods to remain unweighed or unexamined
for a longer time than prescribed by the existing regula-
tions. This arrangement is not to interfere with the general
supervision of the landing-surveyors and other superior
officers, in order that the interests of the revenue may be
protected, the officers of the Crown actively and serviceably
employed, and the requirements of trade attended to and
facilitated as much as possible.
THE Cgors IN SENT.—The hay harvest is pro-
ceeding rapidly under the favourable influence of the last few
days of hot sunny weather,_• and the produce will be better
than was expected. we regret to learn that the potato
blight is showing itself in different places in this neighbour-
hood. From the Weald (Rolvenden) we learn that the beans
are a little improving; but the peas are decidedly worse.—

MR. HARLEY'S BENEFIT.—This admirable come-
dian, who for so many years has been a high and deserved
favourite with the play-going world, takes his benefit this
evening at the Princess's Theatre. The performances an-
nounced are Much Ado about Nothing, Mr. Harley sustain-
ing, for the first time, the part of llogberry; and the sixty-
sixth representation of the Corsican Brothers —the best got
lip, the best acted, and most attaactive melodrama ever pro-
duced.
