WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday Thomas Ambrose, Peter Gardner, Thomas
Ilartwell, and George Hartwell, who had been appre-
hended on a Queen's Bench warrant, were brought up in
the custody of Eagles, an officer of this establishment, for
the purpose of being held to bail.
The prisoners are parishioners of Hackney, and were,
with several others, not yet in custody, on the 14th of
August List engaged in taking away several acres of corn
which were part of lammas land, a right to the possession
of which, whether with crops growing on it or not, was
claimed by the parishioners. The property, i. c., lammas
land, is rented, during the period of non-possession by the
parishioners, by a Mr. Wm. Adamson, an extensive far-
mer, at Hackney, and who had not been able, owing to the
backwardness of the season, to gather in the corn. Since
the forcible seizure actions have been brought by Mr.
Adamson against the parties, among whom arc the pri-
soners, and the question will be tried in the Court of Queen's
Bench.

The case before the magistrate was whether he had the
power to hold the parties to bail, they having been taken
into custody upon a warrant issued by the Judges of the
Court of Queen's Bench. The prisoners were appre•
hended on Saturday by Eagles, and lodged in a sponging-
house in Chancery-lane, as they could not be taken to
the Court of Queen's Bench, that Court not sitting, and
the Judges themselves being out of town.
Mr. Jacob William Lock, for the prisoners, contended
that, from the wording of the warrant, in case the Court
of Queen's Bench did not sit, the alternative rested with a
Magistrate at a police office to accept bail.
Mr. Corner, a clerk from the Crown-office, appeared to
secure the bails, and the prisoners were bound over in their
own recognizances, which were severally in 80/., to attend
at the next Court of Queen's Bench.

porary

" Whilst considerable increase has taken place in the
size of the mast and yards, ships are now sent to sea half-
manned, and even half-armed. From this system of re-
ducing the complement, the ordinary duties of working
the ship, the anchors, and the cables, become to the
crew heavy and harassing labour. The yards and sails,
which formerly flew to their different evolutions at the
word of command, are now slowly dragged aloft, and,
when there, it is equally tedious and difficult to reduce
them to their original positions. Sailors know where the
work is hard. Men-of-war's men have been accustomed
_ _

to find their duties light and easy in full manned ships,
and cheerfully have vied with each other in smartness and
dexterity of evolution. The advantages gained by this
emulation are incalculable. But this profitable rivalry no
longer exists. The men feel the weakness of the crew.
They and the officers bow to circumstances. The zeal,
the activity, and the energies of both, are beaten down :
and when once the system of a long drag and a slow drag
is established, it is not easy to get out of it. If an officer
tries to do Me thing in the old way, he fails. The ship's
company are disgusted. Men will not enter for a vessel
of war, with the masts and yards of a line-of-battle ship,
and the complement of a small frigate. To persevere in
such a practice is the ruin of both men and officers. A
good seaman, who had served in the Pique, being asked
by one of his officers to re-enter when that ship was re-
commissioned, made this pithy reply--" No, no, Sir ; I
have done with line-of-battle ships in disguise." In a
74 gun-ship we are now allowed a complement of 520
officers, men, and boys. The war complement is 600.
Of the present reduced complement, fifty are boys, sent
into the ships for the avowed purpose of making seamen.
But when a servant for every officer is deducted, few of
these boys remain as available hands, and these few are
stuck on the mizen-topsail-yard, and a very small propor-
tion ever arrive beyond a bondsman's rating. The ship is
paid off at the end of three years. These boys are turned
adrift ; and by the time their money is spent, and their
friends are anxious to be rid by them, they are beyond a
boy's age, are rejected as seamen, and soon forget the
little they have been taught. It follows that they are forced
to other employment, snd are compelled to abandon
the service."

So much for the baneful effects of the present svg-
tern—or rather of the prevailing indifference to the
efficiency of a Navy once the pride and glory of
Englishrneu. Now for the proposed remedy :
I propose that every ship should be completed on the
peace establishment according to her numerical vvar esta-
blishment, by apprentices bound to her Majesty's service for
seven years ; these apprentices to be taken at the age and
rating of first class boys; to be distributed in different parts
of the ship, in the fore and main tops, from thence to the

EAST SURREY.

The revising barristers sat at Croydon, yesterday,
for the purpose of revising the lists of voters in this
district of the division of the county of Surrey.
(Before Mr. TURNER.)
CREATION OF VOTERS.

Mr. John Chrees, the Conservative, again claimed to be
inserted on the list of voters, in respect of a freehold inte-
rest in a piece of ground producing him upwards of 40/.
Mr. Richards objected to the vote.
Mr. Chrees, in support of his claim, presented to the
barrister a deed of agreement between himself and a gentle-
man named Jourdain, by which he conveyed the land in
question to the latter gentlemon at a rent of 45/. a year.
He also produced a receipt for 1/. 2s. 6d., being for half
a year's rent.
Mr. TURNER—As Mr. Chrees swears that the agree-
ment is a bona fide one, I must allow the vote.
There were other objections to claims arising out of
similar parcels of land, all of which were allowed, with the
exception of one.
(Before Mr. Basrr.)

No business of the slightest interest occurred in this court.

GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

BREAKING DOWN OF A PART OF THE LINE.
A serious disaster happened on this railway last night. The late
heavy fall of rain has flooded the whole of the meadows in the low
lands in this neighbourhood, and the accident to the line, which
arose from this cause, oecerred near Warrington, at a bridge
erected over a small stream in the valley, a mile beyond that town.
The flood, yesterday afternoon, became so great at this spot, that
fears were entertained that the bridge could not afford vent for
the water•, and stakes were driven in to strengthen the abutments, as
much as possible. These precautions, however, proved of no avail,
for about nine o'clock the bridge gave way and was, together with
the rails, and ten or twelve yards of the road, which in this part
is raised some feet above the level of the fields, washed completely
away.

On the arrival of the first train this morning, they found the
workmen had been active in the night, and placed baulks of coal
timber across the spot where the accident occurred ; the passengers
and luggage walked over, and the carriages exchanged passengers
and proceeded with less delay than could have been reasonably ex-
pected.

The London mail bags did not come, as usual, by this train, the
down mail not having arrived when the train left Birmingham at
half-past seven. The cause of this disappointment is, therefore,
not attributable to the Grand Junction Company, but to some ac-
cident which has delayed the mail coach from London to Bir-
mingham.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.
Mr. O'Connell has been again agitating the Tithe question and
the projected Poor-law. Pursuant to Mr. O'Connell's notice,
addressed to his constituents, a meeting was held this day at the
Corn Exchange, to take into consideration the Poor-law and Tithe
Bills about to be brought into Parliament this Session. At a
quarter past two, on the motion of Mr. O'Connell, Peter Purcell,
Esq., was called to the chair.
John D, Mullen, Esq„ was appointed Secretary, and Mr. Ray,
Assistant-Secretary to the meeting.

POOR-LAW UNION-MEDICAL OFFICES

Mr. WAKLEY Moved for a retty n of the number of Me-

dical (aces held in Poor-law Unions during the years 1831
and 1635. The Government had primaised to turn their at-
tention to the subject, and he (Mr. Wakley) wished to know
what directions had been given.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he certainly had directed

Le attention of the Poor Law Commissioners to the subject.

In many of the unions chaplains had been appointed and regularly
performed their duty but further information he was not now
prop ;red to give, and it should be recoll.2cted that in many of
the Unions the arrangements had not been completed.
Mr. MACLEAN said be would make a motion on the sub.
ject early after the recess.
London, England, 1837-12-23

MEDICAL RELIEF.

Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD presented a petition signed
by the President and Secretaries of the Provincial Medical
and Surgical Association, expressing the sentiments of that body
as agreed upon at their late Anniversary at Cheltenham rela-
tive to the subject of medical relief under the New Poor-law
Act. The petitioners stated that the district was too large
to enable persons to receive proper medical relief, and that
the mode of obtaining medical officers by means of tender was
degrading to the medical profession, and the petitioners
prayed an inquiry into these complaints, and for certain
reasons which they considered to be essentially necessary.'

LIGHT-HOUSES

Mr. C. FERGUSON moved for returns of the number of
northern lights, and the amount of passing toll received by
them up to the Ist of January, 1836.—Ordered.

VACCINATION.

Mr. WAK LE Y presented a petition from the Governors,
Directors, and medical officers of the London Vaccine Insti-
tution, stating that it had been recommended in a Report pre-
sented to the House last session that vaccine matter should be
transmitted through the Post-office free, and that if the
recommendation were acted upon, it would confer the
greatest benefits on the country, and would tend to prevent
the spread of•small-pox. The petitioners stated, also, that
the recommendation of Mr. Rowland Hill, to reduce the
postage to one penny, would answer the purpose equally well,
and prayed the Howe to adopt'it.
DORCHESTER LABOURERS.
The HoN. MEMBEIt also presented a petition from Maryle-
bone, complaining that the promise of the Government, made
last Session with respect to the Dorchester labourers, had
not been acted upon, and that only one of the men had
returned, there being as yet no tidings of the other five.
He must confess that the Government had granted pardon
to those men in a gracious and kind manner. He did not
believe that the Government at home were to blame, but he
hoped that a candid and explicit explanation would be given
by the Government. He should take an opportunity in the
course of the evening to state that he should make a special
motion on the subject soon after the recess.
Mr. LABOUC HE RE suggested that the Hon. Member
would better attain his object by applying to the proper
authorities. His Right Honourable Friend the Secretary
for the Colonies had stated last night that orders had been
sent out for the return of those men, and he believed they
were on their way home.

Mr. WA KL gY had not intended to cast any censure upon
the Government at. home, but he believed the fault to be with
the authorities in the colony. He had given notice to the
Right Hon. Gentleman, the Under- Secretary for the Colo
flies, that he intended to present this petition to-night—and it
was not his fault that the Right Hon. Gentleman. was not in
his place. He ( Mr. W.) had called at the Home-office, and be
could receive no satisfactory information from the gentlemen in
attendance there.

/THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.,

' CORN E OHAN GE.
The past .week's arrivals of all descriptions of grain were
considerable, anTtlYere was a good quantity of Flour. The
trade for eVery article was dull and declining throughout the
wiek.• This morning the fresh supplies of Grain in general
have been moderate, and the new samples of Wheat and
Barley were chiefly in tender condition. The decline in
price of Wheat since this day se'nnight, may be stated
at from 2s. to 3s. per quarter, but this morning all the
dry parcels fully obtained Friday's prices, and the
damp qualities were almost entirely neglected. The Bar-
ley trade is very heavy, and prices are Is. to 2s- per quarter
lower than this day se'nnight. Old Beans maintain their
value. New Beans are dull, and rather lower. Boiling Peas
support their former rates. Grey Peas are further declined
Is. per quarter. The quantity of Oats is now too large for
the buyers to sell off; and the terms are in consequence re.
duced full Is. per quarter since last Monday. The Flour
trade is extremely heavy, the top nominal price is unaltered,
but. ship parcels are 2s. to as. per sack lower.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DIY.)

CITY, 7' IrE L VE O'CLOCK.
We have very lea, arrivals for a Monday morning, consi-
dering its being a double post day. We have nothing but
the ordinary foreign mails, and three or four arrivals of ship
letters of old dates. The express from Paris is of a very
meagre description respecting the operations of the contend-
ing armies in Spain.• All this causes great dullness in the
operations in the foreign funds ; that, however, is not the
case with the British Stocks, which closed very buoyant on
Saturday at 92j- 93 for the November Account ; and for
Money 91%- It is expected that the operations of the
banking interest i❑ the course of this week are likely to be
on an extensive scale, owing to the great accumulation of the
receipts in their hands of the dividends paid last week, the
greater part of which, it is expected, will be laid out in the
various British funds, in consequence of which a further rise
is anticipated.

At., se. tha4nouth Of...t,iie . Elbe. The schooner had a
cargo of coals, from Shields and was bound to Haml.urgh ;
on arriving at the mouth of the Elbe, on the 29th No-
vember last, she discharged her sea-pilot, and lay-to for
the purpose of taking in a river pilot. The steamer was
coming up the river at the same time, and seeing a pilot-
boat approaching the Perscrcrahce, she steered between
them for the purpose of obtaining the pilot' first. 'The
schooner was making stern-way, her sails being aback, and
the steamer struck her on her larboard quarter, carrying
away her bulwarks and a portion of her stern.. Although
the steamer was hailed repeatedly she- kept on her way,
and the schooner drifted a few miles up the river, when
she was observed to
_be fast sinking. The boat was
hoisted out, and the crew, consisting of ten men
and the captain, were in the act of getting in,
when she went down, by which eight of the crew were
drowned, and the Captain and two others, by clinging to
the top-mast, supported themselves till the following morn-
ing, when a brig coming up the river, took them off.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD and Mr. KELLY conducted the
case for the defendants, and endeavoured to show that the
schooner was lying across the river right in the steamer's
way, and that the circumstance of her going astern brought
her in contact with the-steamer before the paddles could be
reversed, which was done immediately after the collision
took place.
The case for the plaintiff had not concluded when our
Reporter left.

Mr. iiraham has been playing or several nights
with the greatest success at Brighton. His first engage-
ment was for four nights, and upon very high terms. The
attraction, however, was so great, that the engagement was
renewed for two additional nights. On each appearance the
ti eteran was received with enthusiastic applause, and every
sung was encored.

rumour has reached ns that the boiler of the steam-engine
which was conveying the eight. o'clock train from Boxmoor
to London last night, l!ad busrt, and that several lives had
been lost. The report most likely originated in the burst-
ing of one of the pipes of the engine conveying the five
o'clock train from London to Harrow, and which merely
occasioned a delay of five minutes.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.—HERTFORD, MARCI 7 1.
The commission for holding the Assize for the county of
Hertford was opened here this morning by the Lord Chief
Justice of the Common Pleas and Mr. Justice Vaughan.
The Learned Judges, after attending divine service, pro-
ceeded to business, Sir N. C. Tindal presiding in the Civil
Court, and Mr. Justice Vaughan in the Crown Court. There
were fifty. five prisoners in the calendar, and seven cases at
Nisi Prius.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT..--NORTHAMPTON, FE, 28.
The business of the Assizes for this county commenced this
day, Lord Abinger presiding in the Criminal Court, and Mr.
Justice Littledale at Nisi Prius. The business on the criminal
side is heavy as respects numbers, but is light in regard to the
crimes of which they stand accused. On the civil side there
are but four causes in the paper, one being a special jury.

all of whom, wltlt the 'Jxception of the two last, are we 11

charged w'..th having been concerned in the perpetration of
various f".:tonies ; and an old harridan, named Diana Watkins,
and I',l other Simpkins, was also 'called upon to answer for
bar.eouring the infamous plunderers at her miseral,de
Taylor and Franklin, not being known as olds •otrenders,•were
discharged, with a caution. King and Card were ordered to
' be imprisoned for three months ; and the r,Jst to find 'bail for
their good behaviour. The police were •al-io directed to ex-

Yesterday John, Sibbaid, alias Irish Jack, an old •smuggler,
was brought ber.ore Mr. lim_otom NE, charged with smuggling
four pounds of cigars which had not paid duty. Mr. James
Evans, principal surveyor of Thames police, and r.n officer of
customs, :wrested and detained the prisoner, and had just
scarchA his legs in the outer office, and found under stock-
ings, next his skin, half a pound of cigars. The prly,oner was
an old smuggler, and well known at that offlce.
Mr. BA:JAN.I'IN E—He was sent to prism a lirle while ago.
Mr. Evans—oh, yes, Sir ; that was for smuggling tobacco.
Mr. BALLANTINE—WeII, have }ou. anything say ?
Sib-
bald--_No Sir ; a man asked r.,e to carry the cigars.
Mr. BALLANTINE—YIIy , it is not mom than six weeks sluice
you were here before ; ':pat is a stale defence.
Sibbald—ls'nt it? Why, I thought it was much lonf7er.

A great misfortune has taken place at Antwerp.
During the storm of the 24th, the dike of Burgh .gave- way.
and all the adjacent country is under water. The inundation

were so suddenly filled with water, that the inhati •Itants

Majesty of the undermentioned prisoners Under sentence of
&Atli La the gaol of Newgate—viz., Thomas Westwood, 20;
George Allen, 26 ; Henry Livingston, 28; John 'Jones, 27 ;
William Mills, 29 ; Henry Bates, 29, for burglary ; James
Smith, 2d, shooting at a person, &c. ; John Pegswortb, 33.
for nilful murder; to all of whom his Majesty has been gra-
ciously pleased to extend his Royal mercy, except the said
John Pegsworth, who is left for execution on Tuesday next.
In addition to the long list of anti-pathies which
the gallant Colonel Sibthore has professed, he has now
avowed his most determined anlogouisin to all Railroads, of
every description. II is curious to notice the numerous ob-
jects which have bzen furthered by his opposition : it is a sure
siwt of Success when lie opposes any thing ! He was an anti-
Catholio emaucipationist, oNti-abolitimust of the Corporation-
and-Test Act, anti on the Slave question, anti in the attempt
to supersede Military Flogging, anti in Parliamentary Re-
feral, tsnti the Irish Corporations, anti in the Church-rate
question, and the removal of Jewish disabilities. Besides this
last new antic, it is reported that there is more of the old sort,

sly fellows who have usually attached more value to t'Ke4ity.

ING, holden in the Egyptian .Hall of the Mansion-house,
on Thursday, October 20, 1836,
The Right Hon. W. T. COPELAND, M.P., Lord Mayor,

in the Chair,

It was resolved, together with other resolutions—That a statue,
in honour of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, should ooeupy
some suitable position in the vicinity of London-bridge, in the
erection of which, and the subsequent splendid improvements in the
City of London and borough of Southwark, his Grace evinced so
great an interest, and to which he furnished so efficient a support ;

of the same.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

We are glad to learn that this periodical is growing in
favour with the lovers of light literature. It deserves en-
couragement, for its articles are ably written—always ex-
cepting its political ones, which make up in intemperate
Orange zeal for what they want in sound reasoning. The
Essay on the " Past and Present State of Literature in
Ireland," in the Number before us, alludes, in a generous
spirit of patriotism, to the rapid advances that the sister-
country is hourly making in the Arts, the Sciences, and the
Belles Lettres. There is considerable truth in this re-
mark—" The vast capabilities of Ireland for literary pur-
suit, are concealed by the overpowering demand of the
English marts. Whatever is produced here is consumed
there. The better portion of our mind is absorbed into
the sphere of the ascendant genius of England, and thus
our real progress is concealed from the eyes of the world.
In England, while there is an exaggerated notion of our
wit and imagination, nothing can be more observable than
the low opinion which there exists as to our state of civili-
zation, and of our literary pretensions." The " Convicts of
Lisnamona" is a genuine Irish narrative, whose chief defect
is that it contains over much of dialogue, extremely per-
plexing to English readers. In the " Song Writers of Ger-

many," we find some choice translations from Tieck. Of
the other articles, the best is the review of Napier's " His-
tory of the Peninsular War."

THE ARBORETUM BRITANNIC UM. Nos. XXXIII.

XXXIV., AND XXXV:
Rylgway and Sons.

We have here three Numbers of this excellent work,
now on the eve of completion. Their embellishments are
numerous, and very carefully executed. We have spoken
so highly of the design of this work every month
since the appearance of the First Number, that
we may now content ourselves with stating that
the execution has hitherto rather exceeded than fallen
short of it. When finished no botanical library can be
complete without it.

THE ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE.
Longman and Co.

The articles in this Number are wholly of a professional
character, and therefore we have but little to say of them.
Those we have looked into appear to us to be of considerable
importance to architects. Two, on the architecture of the
churches of London and Rome, are well worthy of atten-
tion. The embellishments are a front view of the New
Houses of Parliament.

ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE.
There is a very good article in this Number on the im-
portant subject of the New Bank for India. It is written
in the form of a review of some pamphlets on the establish-
ment of such an institution, and will doubtless attract a
proper share of public attention. " Recollections of the
Deccan" are rather stale—at least to us. The other arti-
cles are exclusively devoted to questions connected with
India, with the exception of a Memoir of Dr. Carey, D.D.
The objects of this Magazine appear to be all of the prac-
tical, and the useful, rather than the shining order.
London, England, 1837-03-02

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

Albeit we belong not to the Captains of the age, and are not
attached to either service, yet, civilians as we are, this Journal
has a charm for us, which the sterling contents of its pages
alone can account for. We would instance as a paper in
pctint, the " Economy of a Man of War," in the perusal of
which the interest is sustained throughout so completely,
that we felt spell-bound and rivetted to the subject. The
sketches of a military life in India, too, are full of truth,
and possess a high degree of interest. In some of the
other papers also there is much originality : and of the
present Number, as a whole, it may with justice be affirmed,
that it possesses some very pleasing reading.
