THE PENSION LIST.

_ .
It has been frequently said that if you wish a Der-
son to live for ever you should bestow a pension upon
him. The following passage from the letter of Mr.
Finlason, Government Calculator, will satisfy our
readers that the powers of this elixir vitec, in confer-
ing perpetual youth, have not been overrated :—" It
is certain that the females have understated their ages
very considerably, and sometimes with a contempt of
all probablity. Thus, more than one, lady has set
down her age at 39, forgetting that she has been 45
years in receipt of the pension, and this from an aver-
sion to own the age of 40 !"
REDUCTION OF THE PENSION LIST.— Ac-
cording to the calculations of Mr. Finlason, the Pen-
sion List, which at present amounts to 139,9511.,
will, in 1843, be
,reduced to 112,120/.; in 1848, the
amount will be 78,9171.; in 1853, the amount will
be 53,1001.; and, in 1858, twenty years from the
present time, it will be reduced to 34,8771 , being
104;8741. less than it now is.

Yesterday an inquest was held at the London Hos-
pital on the body of John Wood, a fine boy, aged three years.
ft appeared in evidence that the little fellow was lift ;lion, in
the room while its mother went down stairs, when he ,et his
clothes on fire with a bundle of matches; his screams brought
.everal neighbours to his assistance, when he was immediately
removed to the above hospital. The injuries were of such a
nature as to cause his death on the following, day. V,:rdi•.t
—" Accidental a-ath." Another inquest was held at the
Bell, York. road, Lambeth, on the body of Fanny Hines, aged
two years and a half. It appeared, from the evidence of the
mother, that on the afternoon of Wednesday, the 12th ult.,
the deceased was left alone for about five minutes, when by
means unknown, her clothes caught fire. The little sufr,rer
was conveyed to the nearest surgeon, who rendered every
assistance in his power, but she lingered in dreadful agony
until Saturday night last. Verdict._" Accidental Death."

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday

being perpendicular, were obliged to take the course of what
is called Smugulcr's-lano, to come to the foot of the cliff.
where they expected to find the shattered remains of the h,Tse

neither horse or gig were there ; on looking up, they saw the
gig about 50 feet from the summit, caught in a tree, and the
horFe actually suspended in the air by the harness !! ! They
then adopted means for rescuing the horse, by attaching a rope
front the too of the cliff round the neck, freeing it from the

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday James Campbell, a cooper, living in the White-
chapel-road, waited on the Magistrates for the purpose of
asking their advice.
The applicant stated that his attention was called tr• an ad-
vertisement in the newspapers of Thursday last, v.hich de-
scribed that a handsome bay horse, fit for a gentleman to side
or for a tradesman to 'rive in harness, was to be sold for 25
guineas, at No. 1, Stockwell Common. Applicant called at
the above address, and was ii.troduced to a person who called
himself Mr. Proctor, an:l who said that be had the horse to
dispose of, which was then grazing in an adjoining meadow.
Mr. Proctor then began to eulogise the qualities of his horse,
said that he was a " real good un to go," and that he should
warrant him as perfectly sound in wind and limb, and in every
respect answered the d.seription given of him in the news-
papers. The applicant was then conducted to the meadow
where the horse was grazing, and Mr. Proctor again war-
ranted the animal to be of the " right sort, and no mis-
take ;" and the applicant relying on the faith of the
representations, purchased it for eighteen guineas. The
horse was sent over to his house, it being previously agreed
that if it did not answer that it was to be taken bick again at
the expiration of three days. When the applicant, however, put
the animal into harness to try him he had a narrow escape of
having his brains knocked out, for it began to kick and plunge
at a tremendous rate, and in fact all endeavours to make it
go were fruitless, it having kicked the chaise to pieces before
it could even be unharnessed. Under these circumstances
he took the " kicker" back to Stockwell, but Mr. Proctor re-
fused to take it, saying that a bargain was a bargain, and
threatening to turn out the buyer if he did not leave the
house, and go about his business. The applicant added that
the object of his application was to procure a warrant
against the seller of the horse, whom he had since ascertained
was in the habit of doing the same kind of thing to other

parties.
Mr. Edwin, the Chief Clerk, said that from the description
of the party who sold the horse there was no doubt he was the
same person against whom a comp!aint was made at that office
not long ago.
The Magistrate told the applicant that he could have his
remedy against the party of whom he complained by action.

will not believe it ; his principles ought to be too liberal to allow his
sanctioning or lending himself to any persecution of this kind. What ?
Support the decree of 1819, which dismissed from the Magistracy a
gentleman whose conduct would have undoubtedly returned him for
Westminster in 18321

Inconsistent as impossible! Lord John Is not aware of the facts of this
case, and we call on him as a real Reformer to investigate and to in.
stantly annul these monstrous proceedings; showing his sincerity by
giving positive orders to restore Sir Charles Wolseley, " one of our
oldest Reformers," to his proper position amongst the Magistracy of his
county. Is he waiting for the Coronation, to grant as a boon what he
ought to give as a right ? We will not believe it. The
Dorchester labourers were unjustly punished. In six months
popular indignation expressed by the strong arm of the Trades' Union,
brought them back! Surely, my Lord John Russell does not mean to
put Sir Charles Wolseley, after twenty years unjust punishment, on a
ower footing than these men? A NTI-TYRA NNUS.

MR. W. S. BENNETT'S CONCERT.

Mr St erndale Bennett also gave his Annual Concert on Friday at the
F-Tanover ,quare Rooms, and our musical readers will be gad to hear
that his talents were patronised by a. full and fashionable. audi.
ence.' The leader of the band was Mr. Biagrove, and Sir
George Smart was the Conductor. The Concert opened with Sphor's
symphony in D minor, finely played and muds applauded. Mr.
Phillips, who sang here as well as at the Queen's Theatre, sang Mozart's
" Qui sdegno," in his very beat style. Mr. NV. T. Bennett's concerto
on the pianoforte was a most able and brilliant effort, and obtained for
that gentleman applause of the most cordial description. " Dave sai,"
from Rossini's " Guillaume Tell" was sung with great taste by Messrs.
Allen and Phillips. Miss Masson also acqultted herself with great
credit in a romance from Weber's " Preciasa," beautifully , accom-
panied, on the flute by Mr. 'Richardson. Mrs. Alfred Shaw, in" Virgin
Holy," and Mrs. •Bishop in the Page's song from Meyerbeer's " Hugue.
nuts," were both greaVy applauded. In the second part of the colleen
a duet on tWo'planofurtes, by Messrs, Sterodale, Bennett, and Mos-
elides, seas a splendid treat. The co;ic.,rt,concluded with Weber's cha-

distinguished talent that has already placed him far in advance of most
of his-competitors:

against them by clef-mit: A motion was now made for judgment.
Affidavits in aggravation were put in, and it wi:s stated that there were

That the events which have since occurred in the West India,
Islands have proved the correctness of these opinions, and the en-
tire inefficinicy of the present system, 'since the compact for the
benefit ef the Slave intended to he made with the West India Pro-
prietors, has been on thcir parts shamelessly broken, and the negro
race have suffered punishments as severe, frequent., and degrading,
as those to which they were liable previous to the kw being enacted,
to abolish Slavery al all cur Colonies.
That this Meeting, therefore, has seen with much satisfaction the
Resolution adopted by the Hwy of Commons on Tuesday, the
instant, " That it is the opinion oF this House that Negro Appren-
ticeship in tba British Colonies should immediately cease and dc=
termine."

That a Petition be presented fr nn this Meeting tofille Commons

carry out their wi-=e and humanu Resolution; that such Petition he
signed by the o:airman on behalf of this Meeting;. and that -Mr.
Baines, M.P., for Leeds,. he requested to -wesent the same to the
llq se of. Commons. t 7
That this- .Meeting have learnt 'with deep regret that Lord
Charles Fitzroy, M.P. for ltury St. EOrnruuls, ml'wbo was Vice-
iCharliberlain to her Majesty the Queen, has been deprived by the
Administration of that distingui,bcd appointment, because he roted
for the immediate abolition of Negro A pprenticeship,,in compliance
with the wishes •of his Constituents and his own -bnscientions,
opinion; and that his Lordship be assured, that by such inde-
pendent and mageanimous conduct, and by his nobb sacr'fice, he
has won from them and from the country cordial approbation and

JAMES V. ASKEW.

This was an action for the board, maintenance, &c. of the defendant's
son. The action was brought to recover the sum of 25/. The verdict
for the plaintiff was eight guineas. A motion was then made that the
plaintiff should pay the defendant's rostS, under the 451 C,orge 111., for
having held plaintiff to bail for a sum greater than was recovered by the
verdict. Mr. W:GIITNI A N showed cause, and contended that on the con.
struction of the statue this rule could not be supported. The Court took
time to consider the quesCon.

BAIL COURT.
WOOLF V. ITEARP.

This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages, in
consequence of the plaintiff having been run over by a cabriolet, the pro-
perty of the defendant, and which driven by one of his servants. Mr.
Justice CotEntnor. summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages 301.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, ItLir 26.

CHAPMAN V. WRIGIIT.

This was an action of slander brought by the plaintiff; who was
a pork butcher residing 4 St. Maryt.on.llill, Tower-street, against
the defendant, an oilman, who lived opposite, him. The plaintiff
was in the habit of letting lodgings, and the apartments which
he had to let being vacant, a person named Day made application in re-
spect of them. Mr. Day sent an errand-boy to the defendant, with a
message to the eff ct that he would be obliged to the defendant for any
information reTceting the plaintiff: The defendant sent word back by
the boy that Mr. Chaprirtn was irregular in paying his rent, and inti-
mated that it might not be safe to put any furniture into the apartments
which were to be let-unfurnished. Upon that Mr. Day personally called
upon the defendant, and was informed by him that the plaintiff was in
the habit of paying his rent by sums of six shillings and ten shillings at
a time, and that he was considerably in arrcar. The defendant then re
ferret Mr. Day to the plaintiff's landlord. The result was that Mr. Day
did not take the lodgings, and the present action of slander was brought
for the communication made by the defendant to Mr. Day. The defs.n.
slant had pleaded a justification, but that plea was not supported at the
trial and the defendant urged that the communication between the defen.
•daut and Day was privileged, and upon that ground the jury found for
the defendant. A rule Nisi, for a new trial, had, however, been ob-
tained.

The COURT thought that the case ought to go down to a new trial ;
but as they were _c:ear 073 there was no misdirection it must he on
paymo A of costs.

vessel in the Channel, and having met with rough weather, was dis-
masted and riding at her anchors, with a signal ofdistress flying.. In this
condition she was seen by the crew of two smacks oft' Weymouth Har-
bour, who instantly put offend . tendered their assistance. They were
requested by the master and crew of the Spheroid, who instantly left the
vessel though they again returned to it, to lay by, which they did till
