A Bill is again brought into
.the House of

the defeat of the Bill—an event in which that large portion
of the public res(,rting to Hampstead-heath for air and
recreation have no little interest.— Oliseri'cr.

OP LAsturrir PAsrsir.----On Saturday the Vestry decided
" that it is expedient to contract for the supply of the
maintenance of the in_door poor, at the Workhouse of
Lambeth, at Latnbeth-butts, but not at present to contract
for the maintenance of the House of Industry, at Nor-
the maintenance of the in-door poor of Lambeth parish,
for three years ending at Easter, 1827, 1828, "Ptaining in the whole 156 weeks and four days, was
and 1829,
submitted to the meeting, from which it appeared that had
the total number of persons maintained at Lambeth and at
Norvrood been contracted for during the above period, a
Saving would have been effected of Is. per head on 166,993
persons, amounting to 8,3491. 131 , making an average per
"nun' of 2,7834 4s. 4d.
(..„911e of the witnesses examined before the
judice
-iimittee on Scotch Banking stated that there is a pre-
on against gold in Scotland ; this prejudice is simply
account of the trouble attending it—it is weighed ;
When it is found light people refuse it—the country people
are afraid to touch it. There is not a district in Scot-
land but where, if you were endeavouring to pass a sove-
4ign, they would say, if you had a note of any bank in
Scotland, they would Freer it."

ant had nothing to du with the evidence, par-
