On Saturday, a young man who gave his name
George Jordan, by tr4de a jeweller, lodging at

bar before Messrs. GREGOKIE and MARRIOTT,
charged with an assault of a revolting nature on Henry
Stride, a police-constable of the A division.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mary knean, a vender of potatoes, was charged
by Mr. Benjamin, a fish salesman in Billingsgate-
market, with having stolen a turbot, one of a number
for which he had paid 12s. each ; he found the
turbot covered with potatoes in her basket.
_

The LORD MAYOR asked the defendant how the
turbot got into her basket ?—She said she could not
tell, unless it was Peg Delany done it. They went
together to market, and as she could not keep her
eyes always on her basket, Peg might have slipped
it in unknown.—(Loud laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR asked was Mrs. Peg Delany
present ?—The prisoner said she was not ; she was
striving to get an honest bit for her children, but her
own husband, Jack M‘Lean, was present to speak
to her character.

Jack M'Lean stepped forward, evidently prepared
to take his wife's part.
Mr: nobler—Well, Mr. M'Lean, how did this
fish find its way into your wife's basket ? Mr.
M'Lean—ln troth I don't know how the d—l it got
there, only I'm sure she never put it there. If
they went the right way about it your Honour,
they'd soon find that she wasn't the thief.
The LORD MAYOR—Why, I think that finding
the fish in her basket was pretty good proof that she
stole it.

Mr. M'Lean—Stole it ! 0 Lord, your honour, is

it Mary ? You didn't steal it Mary, did you ? Tell
God's .truth.—(Laughter.)—l never seen it, upon
my sowl jewel, until they pulled it from under the
fruit.

Mr. M‘Lean—l thought so, darlint. But smell
her fist, your Honour. If she's a thief, she'll smell of
fish and not of pratics.—(Excessive laughter.—
Here the husband held up his wife's hand in
triumph.)—lf your Honour will let her come home
along with me, she shall stick to her own market,
and never go to that thieving place again.
Mr. Hobler—l have no doubt myself that this
turbot leaped into the basket after the new po-
tatoes.—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. Benjamin's foreman—Please your Worship,
that's unpossible, for the head and tail was tied
gether, and she couldn't leap ; and besides, your
Worship, turbots vots retched in France never eats
no tatoes.—( Loud laughter.)
Mr. Benjamin said that as Mr. M'Lean had pro-
mised never to let his wife tempt the fish again
he should not prosecute.
Mr. M‘Lean—Arrab, then, the Lord bless your
Honour. Now, Mary, let this be a lesson to you.
The husband and wife then departed amidst the
laughter of the room.

PARISH OF ST. CLEMENT DANES.

The Annual Meeting of Inhabitants was held
yesterday in the Vestry of this Parish, for transact-
ing parochial business. The Rev. Mr. GURNEY in
the Chair. It appeared that the Commissioners of
the New Police had sent an order for the payment
of 1,1501. within forty days, for the expences of the
police force stationed in the parish for the half year
ending at Michaelmas next, being an assessment of
4d. in the pound on the yearly rental of the parish.

To meet this demand, and the relief of the poor,
it was moved by Mr. BANNISTER, that a rate of 9d.
in the pound should be levied.—The motion was
agreed to.
The accounts of the Trustees of the Holborn
Estate, belonging to the parish, from Easter, 1829,
to Easter, 1830, was next considered. The rental
for the past year was 2,7291. 10s. Gd., and it was
stated that a considerable increase, probably to the
amount of 6001., would take place in a short time,
on the fulling in of some of the leases, and a conse-
quent diminution in the poor-rates would ensue.—
The accounts of the trustees were passed without
opposition.

LAND TAX.

.Mr. MASON made some remarks on the unequal
manner in which the Land Tax was assessed in the
parish of St. Clement Danes, and said they were
almost in as bad a situation as the parish of St. Paul,
Covent-garden, and had to pay more in the shape of
Land Tax than many parishes twice as large as that
of et. Clements.—lt was finally arranged that I,
meeting should be called for the express purpose o?
petitioning Parliament.
London, England, 1830-04-13

under different eireunistaneei, they would have de-
vised by will, and their numbers will increase from
year to year, until the nuisance shall be abated.
There may, however, be some excuse for a legacy
tax, provided not extendedC to the children of de-
ceased, and which legacies can he known from the
will, without any inquisitorial prying into family
affairs, or counting a man's spoons and goods, even
to an old wig or pair of shoes.
But it may be put to Parliament—if, when the
head of a family, for instance, dies, it is just, equi•
table, or charitable, or in the spirit of the English
Constitution, to mark out that family as objects of
increased taxation ? and at a moment when possibly
deprived of the means of its existence, can there be
a more severe or unjust tax ? It is, in fact, inflict-
ing a penalty or fine on a family for having the mis-
fortune to lose its head.

It may be also observed that, strictly speaking,
an executor cannot comply with the law; because,
before he intermeddle in the assets, he must take
out probate; and this he cannot do till he has paid
the duty, and, consequently, must meddle before he
takes out probate, unless he pays it out of his own
pocket.
Every exertion, in and out of Parliament, there-
fore, is necessary to obtain a repeal of this most
obnoxious probate duty tax.

CITY MARKETS.—(TWO O'CLOCK.)
The deliveries of British Plantation Sugars last week
from the West India Docks were extremely small, not
having exceeded 1,822 hhds. and 60 trs. for home use,
and 30 hhds. for expert. The arrivals are very limited,
and the stock has been reduced to 10,834 hhds. and 1,039
trs. There is scarcely any business doing this morning.
The current prices are, for brown Jamaica, St. Kitts, and
St. Vincents, 51s. to 54.. ; for good, 63.. to 655. ; and
for fine, 655. to 68s. per cwt. The deliveries of Mau-
ritius Sugars last week were large, viz., nearly 10,000
bags, of which above 7,000 were for export. The stock
in the West India Docks is 33,000 bags. Foreign and
refined Sugars are snore firm.
The Coma market wears a more favourable appearance,
but the transactions are limited.
Rox.—The deliveries of Runs from the West India
Docks, last week, were 627 puns. and 34 hhds., 329 puns.
of which were for the foreign markets. The stock is Row
about 17,150 puns. and 1,400 hhds. Leeward. are from
Is. 10d. to Is. 11d. per gallon-5 per cent. over proof.
Imasao.—The near approach of the East India Com-
pany's sale of Indigos, which takes place next week, pre-
vents any considerable business in this article. The total
declaration is expected to exceed 5000 chests. Stocks
on the Continent are stated to be comparatively small.
In Hops and Seeds there is rather more doing.
SALTPETRE is now steady at from 35.. to 35.. 6d. per

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS (THIS DAY.)—This
was the first day for these Sessions. T. CONST, Esq. and
a full Bench of Magistrates presided. Nothing of im-
portance took place up to the period when we went to
press.

The Globe states that the pecuniary arrange-
ments between Prince LEOPOLD and the Sovereigns who
are parties to the Treaty for the pacification of Greece
hare been completed, and that his Royal Highness is to
receive from them about one million and a half of money
divided into seven yearly payments. This information is
pretty correct. Prince LEOPOLD is, we believe, (but we
do not state this officially,) to have about 200,0001. an-
nually for seven years, to enable him to meet the various
claims upon Greece, and to organise a government. No
stipulation has been made respecting the loans already
contracted, but we can state positively that the Allied
Sovereigns, individually and collectively, are anxious to see
justice done to all parties ; and we have direct authority
to add, that his Royal Highness will do nothing in this
instance unworthy of the reputation which lie deservedly
enjoys for integrity.—lntelligence.

BOW-STREET.

Four fellows, pugilists by profession, whose names
are John Gow, Thomas Teasdale, William Watts,
and John Robinson, were charged with having
created a very serious disturbance on the preceding
day (Sunday), at Gate-street Chapel, Lincoln's Inn-
fields, and also with having violently assaulted
several of the congregation and some police con-
stables who were called in to quell the riot. Several
of the latter appeared with black eyes and bruised
faces, from blows inflicted by the prisoners in en-
deavouring to effect their escape.
Sir R. BIRSIE insisted that the governors of the
Chapel, as well as those police-constables who had
been assaulted, should be severally bound over to
prosecute the prisoners.
The prisoners were then locked up in default of
bail.

A well-dressed young man, who said his name
was John Brown, was charged by Townshend, the
veteran police-officer, who attends upon his Ma-
jesty, with attempting to rob an elderly gentleman
in St. James's Park, and with being a reputed thief.
Townshend told his story in his usual peculiar
quaint way. lie said, I was going that morning
down the passage leading from Spring-gardens into
St. James's Park, as a party of the Foot Guards
had passed before in that direction. I found there
was an obstruction, and a gentleman said to me,
Townshend, what is the cause of this; the road is
choked up ? I said to him, you may depend upon
it some old acquaintances of mine have caused the
obstruction to create a confusion, and to pick pockets.
I then went to the iron pillars, and saw the prisoner
and two other fellows talking in their usual slang
language; they had surrounded an elderly gentle-
man, and were ogling his pockets, when he appeared
to be aware of their intentions, and prevented them
from carrying them into effect. One of the robbers
said to the prisoner, who was acting in concert with
them. " I had nearly drawn that old flat's skin, but
he baulked me." I (continued Townshend) looked
the prigs full in the face, and said, " If you had
drawn his skin, I would have grabbed you"—
( Laughter)—and they ran off as fast as they could.
Mr. 1/Au.s—What is the meaning of " skin"
and " grab," Mr. Townshend ? Townshend—
‘. Skin" means purse, and " grab" means to appre-
hend. When they ran off, I cut round into the
Park in another direction, and fell in with the
prisoner, and gave him into the charge of a policeman.
Mr. HALLS—Are you positive he is a thief, and
was in the Park with the intention of committing
robberies ? Townshend—J never saw the prisoner
before in my life; but, as I said before, when I saw
him ogling the people's pockets, and being a cover
to the other thieves to give them an opportunity of
picking the old gentleman's pocket, I said to myself,
" John Townshend, as sure as thou art in existence,
that is as out-and-out a prig as ever drew a wipe
from the tail of a coat."—(Laughter.)—Upon in.
quirt', I found he was one of the " swell mob"
London, England, 1830-04-13

thieves, and is one of the most active robbers at the
theatres.

Ledbitter, the officer, said that he knew the
prisoner to be a reputed thief, and as clever an artist
as any prig in London. lie was in custody at this
office a few weeks ago on a charge of robbing a
gentleman at Covent-garden theatre of a gold
watch and a purse containing eleven sovereigns.
On that occasion he was in company with two
men, to whom he contrived to transfer the stolen
property before he was secured.
Mr. HALLS asked the prisoner to say what he
was. He refused to answer, and was convicted as
a reputed thief, and was sentenced to two months'
imprisonment in the House of Correction.

UNION-HALL.

A paragraph appeared in the Sunday papers de-
scribing that Lieutenant Lambrecht had called at
the police station in the Southwark-bridge-road on
Friday night last, in great distress, and asked per-
mission to rest himself, describing at the same time
that since his acquittal at the late Surrey Assizes he
had been abandoned by all his former friends and
acquaintances, and was then without the means of
even procuring the common necessaries of life. This
statement seems to have been founded in truth, for
on Sunday morning the unfortunate man called at
Union-hall and the Chief Clerk had an opportu-
nity of witnessing the extreme state of distress under
which he appeared. Mr. Lambrecht spoke of the
kind treatment he had experienced at the station-
house, and of the money he had received to procure
him a bed from the inspector, which he had ex-
pended for that purpose, but had since been without
food and exposed to the vicissitudes of the weather.
He begged to be permitted to remain for shelter in
the office, but this could not be acceded to, and he
was furnished with money fer his present neces-
sities, and then went away. His appearance is de-
scribed as miserable as well can be conceived, and
from his manner, those who saw him apprehended
that, unless some friendly hand came forward to re-
lieve his necessities, and rescue him from his present
situation, the unfortunate man must inevitably run
into headlong destruction. He was seen wandering
about the Borough in the course of yesterday morning.

PARISH OF CHRISTCHURCH, SURREY

A public meeting of the inhabitants of thi's.P.arlsh
was held yesterday evening in the large room of tha
Hero of Waterloo Tavern, Waterloo-bridge-road.
At eight o'clock Mr. HENRY HUNT took
Chair, and observed that the meeting was assembled
for the purpose of taking into consideration the state
of the various charities belonging to the parish;
the best means of counteracting any attempts.of
the Commissioners acting under the local Act tO
appropriate their funds to the encouragement of utr
necessary law-suits; and the present extravagant
parish expenditure, and the best means of reducing
several charges in the parish accounts. Items of
expenditure to the rector, for law expenses, to the
beadles, and other matters, were then read, amount•
ng to a total of 1,8831. 9s. 3d.

It appeared, from accounts published by the
Overseers for 1829, the number of paupers in the
house and at Wandsworth amounted on an average
for the year to 216, who cost for victualling, far
and clothing, 1,7.51/. 4s. 6d., showing that the
Rector, and other parish-officers cost more by the
sum of 1321. 4s. 9d. than the whole of the poor ie
the workhouse.

Mr. HUNT and other parishioners subsequent!!
addressed the meeting, and commented on the fir
vrious abuses disclosed in the preceding statement.
A series of resolutions were then carried, deck'
ratory of the intention of the meeting to oppose, I)!
every means in their power, any attempts to burden
the parish with unnecessary expences, and to inver
tigate the several charities, and their appropriation.

PROBATE DUTY.

This is the most unjust tax ever laid on any country.
If the newspapers would grant this subject an
amount of space and of attention at all commensurate
with the wide-spread influence of this branch of
taxation over the private affairs of life, and over the
general comfort of society, every column of them,
on each successive day of publication, would contain
an echo of murmurs, bewailings, and the curses
poured out against it. No fiscal burden ever fell
upon the community with a shock so barbarously
timed, and so out of proportion to its advantages as
a source of revenue. The first moment of domestic
anguish is that wherein the functionaries of the law
are authorized to prey upon the widow, the child-
less, or the fatherless. Duties are called for from a
family, who, it is more than possible, have not the
command of a shilling, except by converting a por-
tion of that property, which they are nevertheless
forbidden to touch until they shall have paid the
King. Again, the tax must be advanced, in the
first instance, upon the gross value of the property,
without allowing for debts or incumbrances,
although a drawback is afterwards made of a parr of
the duty proportioned to the amount of " debts
lawfully due" at the time of the testator's or intes-
tate's death. This grievance acts in sundry ways.
First,—Suppose the deceased dies between► the
acceptance and payment of his bills to the amount
of 5,0001., he leaves behind him a gross fortune of
perhaps 10,0001.; his acceptances, though justly
due, are grou►►ds of action in a court of law ; so that
if the representative of the deceased could, like an
honest man, pay off the accep►ances, he cannot de-
duct the amount from the gross property, but must
be charged with the duty on 10,0001.
Secondly,—ln many instances large duties have
been wrung from insolvent estates, where there was
not a penny forthcoming to pay debts amounting to
thousands of pounds, yet where the whole impost
was inexorably levied. Such a stain as this upon
the humanity of English legislation ought surely not
to continue.

Moreover, besides its grinding, capricious, and
demoralizing agency, the tax is of a nature so search-
ing and intrusive into the private concerns of life,
that it is astonishing how it outlived the income or
property tax, which owed its abolition more exclu-
sively to the natural abhorrence of Englishmen to
inquisitorial expedients, disturbing the repose of
families, and ransacking the secrets of the living and
the dead, than to any other definitive motive.
Lastly, as a matter of finance, this and the legacy
duty will every hour become less productive : pru-
dent persons have for some years past been driven
to the necessity of conveying, before death, what,

FIRE-PROOF DRESSES.

The Chevalier Aldini, the ingenious inventor
of the fire-proof dress, has been somewhat dis-
appointed, we understand, in his expectations of
encouragement in this country. He speaks
with gratification of the reception he has met
with from scientific and practical persons inter-
ested in his invention, and of the politeness and
attention shown to him in all quarters : but it
would seem that the danger to which life is
subjected by fire, is not considered sufficiently
great to require the use of a fire-proof dress.
As a matter of pecuniary speculation, perhaps
this may be the case ; but so many afflicting
cases of loss of life by fire have occurred within
the last few years in the metropolis, that we
cannot but think the dress ought to be adopted,
to enable firemen to penetrate into places in
which fire rages, and in which persons are even
supposed to be exposed to the flames. A small
band of men exercised to the use of this armour,
attached to the police, and so stationed as always
to be within call on an emergency, would be an
arrangement not unworthy of the care of the
magistrature.—Athenceum Weekly Review.

THE FUNDS.

It is again a holiday with the Hebrews, which ends to-
morrow evening; consequently, few of them have as yet
made their appearance in the house; Consols, which left
off yesterday at 931 for the account, opened at the same
price, and 94 sellers for next account. The market con-

tinues steady although next Friday will be settling-day in
Consols.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds have lowered
. _ _

1 per cent. owing to a report from Madrid that the above
Stock had considerably declined there. In other Foreign
Securities. there is, as yet, little or nothing doing.

The annual election at the India House fur Directors,
and the absence of the Hebrews at the Stock Exchange,
causes a great dulness in the Funds. Consols, which were
in the early part of the day at 93a ;1 for the Account,
have receded to 933 and 934 for the next Account,
with little business doing up to the present time.
We do not hear of any Express from Paris ; this may
be attributed to its being a holiday in the above capital.
A sale of 50,0001. Consols took place in the course of
the morning, which damped the market.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish, which fell about
1 per cent. in the morning, have rather recovered their
price; in other securities little or nothing doing.

By the annual report of the Society for the

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of all sorts of Grain this week are mode
rate, and of Flour very small. The Wheat trade is ex
tremely dull to-day, but the factors are not disposed to take
less prices than on Monday. Barley is unaltered in value.
Beans and Pease of fine quality are so scarce that more
money is again asked for those articles. There has been a
slack demand for Oats to-day at no alteration in value.
Flour still continues to meet a very dull sale.

ISLINGTON.

Yesterday the inhabitants of this extensive parish
met most numerously at the church.
As soon as the period approached for the election
of officers for the year,
Mr. EVANS (one of the auditors) rose to oppose
the re-appointment of trustees until certain accounts
should be published as audited. By Act of Par-
liament the trustees were bound to print an abstract
annually of the accounts of the parish after they
were audited. Those accounts were laid before the
auditors, but upon the present occasion the auditors
objected to certain items, and returned the accounts
with observations upon those particular items. They
objected to the sum of 75/. paid as commission-
money to Mr. Barry, the architect, for his designs
of organs for the new churches. They also objected
to the expenditure of large sums for the organs
themselves, unless a faculty were obtained for their
erection. It was likewise objected by the auditors
that the su et of 4,0001. which ought to have ap-
' peered in the accounts of the past year, was alto-
gether omitted. Mr. Evans proposed a resolution
to the effect of those observations.
Mr. WILKINsoN opposed the resolution. The
trustees had completed the churches in a manner not
paralleled in other parishes,—namelv, within the
original estimates of the expence. He then argued
at length on the separate items in the accounts, and
contended that the order for the organs was con-
tained in the vicar's letter for the establishment of
the new churches. Organs were the choice of the
majority, and there was no necessity for a faculty;
but supposing that the oppositionists were able to
make out a case, the only good their faculty would
do, would be to saddle the parish with an expence
of from 2001. to 6001. to obtain it. He concluded
by saying, that if the trustees were cited before the
Bishop's Court, that plan would have no effect, as
they had a case strong enough to outweigh all
objections.
Mr. RICHTER said, the question was whether the
trustees, who spent the parish money, were or were
not to be allowed to audit their own accounts.
Fraud appeared on the face of former accounts, and
fraud appeared on the present. The churches, built
no more than twelve months, already wanted re-
pairs; the windows admitted wind and weather, and
the gutters were filled with water,
Mr. GREEN said, that in Lambeth parish it had
been decided that neither organ, clock, nor bells,
formed part of the church, and that if the organ was
erected, it must be clone by voluntary contribution.
A show of hands was then taken, when there ap-
peared so decided a majority against the trustees,
arid in favour of Mr. Evan's proposition, that the
multitude gave several cheers.
The CHAIRMAN however (orse of the church-
wardens) decided that the adherents of the trustees
had the majority.
A poll was then demanded, when Mr. Evans's
resolution was negatived--the numbers being 198
to '75. Several of those who voted against the re-
solution had four votes each.
