UNITED MARYLEBONE GAS-
LIGIIT AND COKE COMPANY.

At a PUBLIC MEETING of the RATE-PAYERS and
GAS CONSUMERS of the Parish of ST. MARYLE-
BONE, held at the Workhouse-yard, New-road, on Wednes-
day, the 5th day of June, 1839,
It was unanimously resolved,
1st- That the establishment of a Parochial Gas Company,
under the controul of the Ratepayers, and on the principles of
the United Marylebone Gas-Light and Coke Company, would
be of essential benefit to the Parish, and will tend materially to
the relief of the Gas Consumers and Rate-payers generally.
2d. That this meeting approves of the exertions made by the
Directors of the United Marylebone Gas-Light and Coke Com-
pany to establish that Company, and to carry a Bill for its in-
corporation through Parliament, and the Directors having
stated that it will be impossible for them to persevere in prose-
cuting such Bill, unless further and sufficient deposits are forth-
with paid into the Company's bankers, this meeting will use its
utmost endeavours to procure the payment of such deposits
without delay.
• In publishing the above resolutions the Directors beg leave
to call the attention of the Gas Consumers to the last resolu-
tion, and respectfully but earnestly to state that unless the Gas
Consumers determine to carry the recommendation of that re-
solution into effect, they will be reluctantly compelled to aban-
don the Bill now in Parliament, and to take the necessary steps
to dissolve the Company.
By order,
A. F. BELL, Secretary.

appears concentrated into one focus. The wildness of the thick,
ample foliage of the
PET PLACE UNDER OUR ESPECIAL REVIEW,

within whose shades the Derwent for a while retires, only to burst
again upon the sight with increased force and beauty; and the stupen-
dous hills, which form an amphitheatre of prodigious extent, give a
splendid picture, as contrasted with the peace and quietude of the fer-
tile valley below. The softer allurement of this beauteous scene,
contrasted with the murmuring of the rapid stream, at once indicates
that the hand of something more than mortal has lent its power_
fl aid.

The reader may imagine. although it would not be an easy task
to describe, the beauties of a walk of two miles in extent, parallel
with the famed Derwent, varying at every turn,
" Lost for a space through thickets veering,
But broader when again appearing,"
passing through its rugged course, beneath luxuriant grown plan.
cations, where Vistas are planned with consummate judgment, so as
-
to catch ever and anon the splendid diversity of this Claude.like
picture, relieved by the undulation in these grounds, which have
been so aptly assimilated to
TIIE GARDEN OF EDEN.
The river traversing over unseen beds of stone, the gracefully
waving fern, scattered over the fore-ground, impart just such an air
of tempered wildness as must gladden the correct eye of the lover of
scenic beauty, without offence to those who are inclined to look
rather for the superintending hand of care and cultivation. Lin-
gering here awhile, and surveying the vastness of Nature's beauties,
how humiliating does the littleness of human work appear?
In the midst of this enjoyment, and near to the Waterfall and
Cascade, is a Cold Bath, which, by natural means, inclines to the
temperature of warm water, by reason of its velocity passing from
a great distance within the rocks in its progress through the rugged
approach to light and air.

PIERCEFIELD, IN ALL ITS GLORY,
may be proud to be contemporaneous with Stoke (excepting always
in its extent), for it cannot surpass the loveliness of the terrace-walk,
indeed a comparison would be unfavourable, inasmuch as the
Golden Wye does not claim to be particularly pellucid, while the
Derwent represents a limpid stream, pure as the fountain from
which it emanates. In respect to
STOKE HALL MANSION.
Mr. Robins imagines that the future historian will record his
opinion in something like the following

FAITHFUL PORTRAITURE:
It is one of the most delightful Mansions of the country. It
does not pretend to the magnificence or splendour of Chatsworth,
but it claims, and with good grace, to be selected as the fit and
happy home for those in the pursuit 01 the comforts and elegancies
of life. It is neither poor for want of ornament, nor gaudy with
profusion. Standing alone on a graceful and commanding eminence,
it looks without envy upon anything created, and on the Derwent,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CIIANCELLOR'S COURT, JUNE 6.
The Vice-Chancellor took motions to-day.
MURRAY V. WALTERS,
This case came before the Court upon /notion that Mr.
Walters, the principal proprietor of the Times newspaper,
might be ordered to deposit in the hands of the Clerk in
Court certain receipts and other documents which he had
admitted by his answersio be in his possession. The bill
was filed by Mrs. Murray, the widow of a gentleman who
formerly managed the foreign department of the Times
newspaper, praying for an account of the profits of that
establishment from 1819 to the present time. In the year
1819 Mr. Walters assigned one.thirty-second Ogre of the
profits of the Times newspaper to Mr. Murray, as a reward
for his services, reserving however to himself the right of
re-purchasing it. Upon Mr. Murray's death he left this
share to his widow, and upon Mr. Walter giving notice to
her, of haitention to re-purchase the share, she filed the
present for an account.
Mr. Richards and Mr. Romilly appeared in support of
Ole motion.

The Vice- CnastiELLoe, without calling on counsel for
tne other side, refused the motion with costs.
Mr. JACOB, with whom was Mr. J. Bacon, said that
2,0001. down, and 100/. a year for ten years, had been
offered to Mrs. Murray, but she wanted 3,500/.

POST-HORSE DUTY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Will you permit me to state my hope, through
your invaluable medium, that the Chancellor of the Ex'
chequer will redeem his promise of benefiting the public
by a reduction of the duty on post-horses, as well as of the
postage, in his financial statement? It will be the only
means of offering to the public any longer that most useful
species of transit, as well as of saving a body of tradesmen,
which has always been considered respectable, from utter
ruin.
The fact simply is, that the large establishments on the
different lines of road throughout this country have for-
merly been erected, as every one knows, for the purpose
of supplying the public with post-horses and tavern ac-
commodation. The Government most essentially availed
itself of the capacious accommodations of the innkeeper,
while it required them, in quartering soldiers on him during
the war, to his imminent danger of being continually
ruined, from his obligation to render such service to the
State.

A fiscal impost of 3d. a mile has for fifty years past been
collected upon every pair of post-horses let for travelling;
and until the competition sprung up in the steam-packets,
a sufficient trade circulated to enable the innkeeper to
satisfy his customer and the revenue ; but now, since rail-
roads have joined with the packets in cutting up his trade
in toto, it is in my opinion cruel in the extreme that a re-
spectable class of men, with premises and establishments
on a large and necessarily expensive scale, " who have
borne the burden and heat of the day," as they have done,
should now be doomed to the same melancholy prospect,
which the incessant quartering of soldiers once threatened
them with, on the account of their trade being loaded with
such a ratio of Government impost, which not only does
not in any such degree pervade any other mode of convey-
ance, but the exorbitant rate of which quite prevents Them
from being able to afford that economical competition to
the public which alone would insure them the possibility of"
saving the remnant of their property from annihilation.
I am, Sir, your very humble servant,

POLICE IpiTELLIGENCE.

BOW. STREET.
Yesterday William Barnard, alias Hodgson, a returned
..,:thsport, was brought up in the custody of the Mendicity
fficers for final examination, on a charge of obtaining
under false pretences by means of begging leans.
Mr. Knyvett, of the Mendicity, who conducted the
prosecution, stated that the prisoner had for a considerable
time been making aTplications to several persons of dis-
tinction, for the pufpose of raising subscriptions for a
widow Harrison, in most of which he had succeeded. He
had about ten years ago been transported to Bermuda for
similar offence, and on his return to this country he re-
amed his former occupation, for which be was sentenced
to herd lour foe three months. Upon being liberated he
took the name under which he stood charged, and for some
time evaded the officers, but he was ultimately detected in
receiving a letter produced containing a remittance.
Mr. William Ord, M. P., proved that he had received,
at his residence in Berkeley-square, several letters solicit-
-1:g subscriptions for the widow Harrison, ofie of which
-,--,duced, bore the date of the 27th of• May last.
HorSford, the officer, proved that he apprehended the
prisoner on the 29th ult., as he was releasing the letter
produced at New Cross Receiving House, and on search-
g him he found it in his pocket.
William Dowe, brother.in-law of the prisoner, identi-
'Jed the hand-writing in several of the letters pduced as
7-• Aug similar to that which he had seen the prisser write
en former esesvions.
Mrs. Malrond, postmistress of New Cross. Surrey,
pfoved that the letter produced came to her Receiving
House on the day in question, and it was released by the

prisoner.
The copfof a former conviction being produced, the
prisoner declined making any defence, and,
Mr. IVIINsuuLL ordered him to be sent, as a roguo, and
1\ vagabond, to hard labour in the House of Correction for
r tile next three months.

LAY'S opinion.

We regret to find that the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER has, by his continued and
unaccountable resistance to the just demands
of the shipping, or third class of the Danish
Claimants, forced Mr. CRESSWELL to give
the following notice, on Tuesday night, for
Tuesday the 18th inst., viz.:—
" That an humble Address be presented to
her MAJESTY, praying that her MAJESTY will
be graciously pleased to direct the Commissioners
to whom it was referred to examine the claims of
certain British subjects, in respect of losses sus-
tained by the seizure of ships and cargoes by
the Danish Government in 1807, to proceed to
adjudicate upon the claims which they have re-
ceived, and upon which they have made a Re-
port to the Lords of her MAJESTY'S Treasury."

The case of the Claimants may be thus illu- s-

rated :

A British ship owned by D, arrived at Copen-
hagen with a cargo, a short time previously to the
hostilities committed by Great Britain in 1807.
One-third of the cargo, the property of A, was
landed, sold, and delivered ; but not having been
paid for, it formed a book-debt. A second portion,
belonging to B, was landed, but not sold—this
comes under the class of what is called goods on
shore. The remainder of the cargo, still in the
ship, being the property of C, is styled goods afloat.
The Danish Government, however, made no
distinction, but confiscated the several properties of
A, B, C, and D, indiscriminately, while in 1835
and 1836 the British Government granted com-
pensation for the losses of A and B, but refused
to admit the claims of C and D, although the
ships and cargoes belonging to the Danes seized in
this country, for which the properties of C and D
had expressly been taken in reprisal, produced to

COMMON PLEAS-J(THIS DAY.)

DEVADR V. STEPHENS.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE said this was an action of assump-
sit on a policy of insurance. The declaration stated that
the policy was effected on a voyage of the ship Henri from
Nantz to and from the South Sea Fishery, during the
fishe'ry, and back to any port of France, with permission to
call at any port whatsoever. The assurance was upon 800/.,
on the bounty allowed by the French Government on the
tonnage and cargo of the ship, agreed to be valued at 800/.
The declaration averred the interest of the plaintiff, and
stated that the vessel departed from Nantz towards the
South Sea Fishery, and prosecuted its voyage ; obtaining
a ceit tin cargo upon which the bounty would have accrued
had the vessel with her cargo arrived in France. The first
plea denied the loss, the second denied the interest, the
third denied that the ship obtained any cargo in the fishery;
the fourth was the most material, and was at some length.
It stated that the bounty would have been claimed under a
French law respecting fisheries, which provided that a vessel
which should have fished in the Pacific Ocean, by doubling
Cape Horn, or through the Straits of Magellan, or south of
Cape Horn, at least in sixty degrees of latitude, should
obtain a supplementary bounty if the vessel should have
brought home one-half of its cargo, of the produce of the
fishery, or should have navigated for sixteen months ; and
the plea went on to allege that the vessel, though it did
obtain half a cargo of the produce of the fishery, it was
obtained before the vessel had arrived within the limits
mentioned in the French law—that is, before the ship
doubled Cape Horn ; and therefore, the bounty would not
have been due. Upon this issue was joined.
The case was argued at great length by Sergeant WILDS
on one side, and Mr. RICHARDS on the other.

THE OLYMPIC THEATRE,
ON LEASE TO MADAME VESTRIS,
lR. GEORGE ROBINS is desired to mi-
nounce to the Pubic, and more especially
THE THEATRICAL WORLD,
that he is authorised to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the

gatee, under the Will of the late JOHN SCOTT, Esq.,
THE OLYMPIC THEATRE,
which for so many years possessed a kindly feeling with the Public,
and has for many seasons past assumed an unparalleled altitude,
unheard of in theatricals, since it was fortunately demised to
MADAME VESTRIS,

she has given to the entertainments a new life—has infused so
much ahoy own especial tact, that it now claims to be one of the
MOST FAVOURED OF THE
METROPOLITAN THEATRES; _ _

Indeed, it is a fact that will always remain on record,'that amid
the vicissitudes of all other theatrical establishments, with Madame
at its helm, success has never been equivocal for a moment, and
the receipts have for years past averaged nearly as much as the
Patent Theatres. The private boxes are in such high repute that
double the present low rental is available by this moans alone.
Madame Vestrie has a lease for three more seasons, at only
ONE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR.

The tenure is leasehold of

SPANISH LEGION.

The Marquis ofLONDONDERRY gave notice
that he should to-morrow inquire of the Noble Viscount
opposite, whether any effectual means had been taken
by the Spanish mission sitting in this country to liqui-
date the claims of the unfortunate officers of the Spanish
Legion ; and that also he should move that the returns
which he gave notice of moving for on the 27th of
February last should be laid on the table.

Lord :MELBOURNE g---aWrei;nd;ilthut consider-
able advancement had been made in the liquidation of
the claims to which the Noble Marquis's question re-
lated ; but that he should inform himself of the fact by
to-morrow.

INVESTMENTS, producing at Low Rents, 6001• a-year,

o'Clock, in Lots, by direction of the Executors,
THE VALUABLE FREEHOLD, COPY-
HOLD, and LEASEHOLD ESTATES of
JOHN HUNTER, Esq., deceased;
presenting an exceedingly desirable opportunity to invest in perfect
security, and in very eligible property. Th: following is necessa.

Firstly, A MERCHANT'S RESIDENCE,
FREEHOLD OF INHERITANCE,
desirably situate in

BRIXTON-PLACE, 'NEAR TO THE CHURCH,

at the rear the grounds are

coach house and stabling ; indeed it combines everything a respect-
able merchant can desire, with immediate possession. Also,

EDUCATION.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from St.
Mary's Newington, in favour of the Government plan
of " national education." The Noble and Learned
Lord said he could not agree that the plan deserved the
designation " national"—in fact, his objection to it was,
that it did not go far enough ; but, however, if they
could not do all they wished, let them do all they could.
The Marquis of L A.NSDOWNE remarked that
among the numberless falsehoods which had been pub-
lished on this subject was, that the plan would be com-
pulsory all over the country.
The Bishop of EXETER moved for a copy of the
commission under which the Dean of the Arches holds
his office.—Ordered.

The Earl of STANHOPE gave notice that he
would present a petition, on an early day, from
the Guardians of St. George's, Southwark, complaining
of the misrepresentions of the dictators of Somerset
House,—(A laugh.) The Noble Lord then proceeded
to read a petition (of which be would on a future oc-
casion move the consideration) from a poor man named
Coombe, living in Hampshire, complaining of the in-
justice he had suffered under tile new Poor-law.
Lord BROUGHAM said, that whatever might be
seid of the poverty of the man who had forwarded the
petition to the Noble Lord, certainly he had very con-
siderable powers of composition, and showed that he de-
served 'a better occupation that that of a commo❑
labourer.

Lord STANHOPE said the petitioner had not
written the petition—it was signed by his mark.
Lord BROUGHAM—Then the poor man was not
to blame for the gross misstatement both of fact and
law which the petition contained.
Lord STANHOPE was not aware that it contained
a mis-statement of either.

Lord BROUGHAM said it did, because it stated
that the operation of the Poor-law was to grind the poor
man for the sake of the rich. That was a fact which
he had never heard of before, and he should be able to
show the fallacy of it.

Lord ASI-113URTON put a question to the Noble
Viscount opposite relative to the Tithe Commuta-
tion Act, but the nature of the question was no
distinctly heard in the gallery. He wished to know if
, any amendment of it was intended.
The Marquis of LANDSDOWNE said it was the
intention of her Majesty's Government to bring in a
Bill to amend the Tithe Bill in several points, and that
such a Bill would have been brought in before this, had
it not been prevented on account of communications
going on with the Tithe Commissioners.
Lord PORTMAN said that this introduced con-
tingently a question of the greatest importance
that had been broached in Parliament during
the present Session —ho meant the mode of
rating, because by a late decision of the Court of
Queen's Bench, it would appear there was not one rate
in England that could be sustained. That decision had
the effect of levying an income tax upon every sort of
stock in the possession of a trader, and even of dead
stock in the possession of a farmer. A remedy for
this must be brought in, in the shape of a substantive
measure.

WORSHIP STREET.

SUNDAY TRADING.—Several tradesmen carrying on
business in Islington, were summoned by the parochial
authorities to answer charges of having exercised their
worldly calling on the Lord's Day, but the witnesses
for the prosecution failed in sustaining the charges, and
the summonses were accordingly dismissed.

A strong and angry excitement hiss been produced in
the pariah on account of the prosecutions, as the
whole of the alleged offences referred to the sale of
the absolute necessaries of life before the hours of
divine service, so that (as Mr. Broughton observed)
if the wages of a poor man were withheld from him
until after market hours on Saturday night, he must
dispense with eating until Monday morning.
Mr. Hanhury, a grocer in White Conduit-fields, ap-
plied to the Magistrates to order Mr. Price, the paro-
chial officer, to pay him his day's expenses, as he had
dragged him from his business on an unsustained charge,
and on their (leaning to do so, he stated it to be
his
determination to summon him for the amount to the
Court of Requests, and to advise his neighbours to fol-
low his example.

It is said that Lord Plunket's son will be the
new Bishop.
