CIIILTERN HUNDREDS.—The Chiltern Hundreds
were not always a fiction ; they were a veritable locality, in
which the Knight of the Shire who was averse to entering
Parliament, might take refuge, and might be secure from the
pursuit of the Sheriff; but when once the Member had taken
his seat in the House, this sanctuary was no longer open to him.
Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock the body of a gen-
tleman (nami?, unknown) was found floating in the river nearly
opposite East-lane. It was immediately tiken ashore, and on
examination it was found that in addition to the skull having
been fractured other injuries were perceptible. A gold dou-
ble-casee watch was found in his fob, but no money of any
description, and from the appearance of the body, it is sup
posed to have been several days in the water. The injures
above described may have been produced by the body coming
in contact with the various obstacles against which it was
driven in passing up and down with the tide. The deceased
had on when found a black coat, blue trousers, shoes, end
cotton stockinge. There was a small piece draper in one of the
pockets, on which were written a few French sentences, but
wore so obliterated by the action of the water that the-words
could not be deciphered. In the course of the week the town
was extensively placarded with bills announcing flea a gentle-
man of property, an inhabitant of one of the streets leading out
of Piccadilly, was missing, arid that greet apprehensions were
entertained by his family fcr his safety, and offering a large
reward fur any information cone( rning him. From the de 1
scription cf the unfortunate man found drowned under the cir- '
cumstances above described, it is conjectured that it is the
person alluded to in the placard.
Last week a notorious sheep-stealer, named
Wheeler, was apprehended by Mr. Richard Costar, of the
Crown Inn, Benson, who, though no officer, his within a
short time, previously al.prchendcd seven persons charged
with distinct felonies, all of whom have beck transported.
A mysterious story lately appeared in some of the
London papers res;;ecting an Italian who is said to have en-
tered an inn at Devizes, and to have decamped very suddenly
on the mention of the horrid murder which was perpetrated
some months back in Frederick-street, R, gent's-park. The
account added that the appearance of the man agreed with the
description of the supposed murderer, but as the Devizes pa-
pers take no notice of the circumstance, we conclude that the
whole story is an invention.
We learn that the Belgian army is attacked by a
violent opthalmia, and that upwards of 4,000 soldiers are suf-
fering from it, many having become totally blind in a few days.
On Wednesday last the police made a search at the
residences of M. Duchain, architect, and of M. Cornu, mer-
chant, both in the Gth arrondissement. The ostensible object
of the search was to procure information relatiro to the affair
of Hubert, but according to the Commerce, the real motive of
the search made by the police was to seize all the papers that
could be found respecting the election of M. Arago. All the
documents relative to the elections of the 6th arrondissement,
says that journal, were seized and carried off.
Yesterday morning the tolls at Vauxhall-bridge
were reduced one half on unladen waggons and carts drawn
by two or more horses, and a proportionate reduction on all
ligkt vehicles.

-It is stated that Mr. Sergeant Atciterly, one of the
candidates for the representation of York at the late election,
has prcpsred a petition for presentation to the House of Com-
mons after the recess, complaining of the conduct of the
Returning Officer and others at the election. —Leeds Intel-
ligencer.

TFIE OFFERING DAYs.--The 12 days for the Royal
offerings are Christmas-day, EAster- day, Whitsunday, and All
Saints Day, which are called household days—then New Year's
day and Twelfth-day, upon the latter of which a small quantity of
gold, frankincense, end myrrh, in several purses, is offered by
the Sovereign. The other days are Candlemas, Annuncia-
tion, Holy Thu rtday, Trinity Sunday, St. John Baptist, and
Michaelmas-day, when only gold is uttered. An antiquary of
considerable author ity says that the gold offered by the Sove-
reign at the altar on these occasions is called The Byzant, from
a piece of gold supposed to babe been coined by the Emperors
of Constantinople, which city was formerly called Bazantium.
Those offered by King James 1., had on one side his Majesty
kneeling before an altar, with four crowns before him, with
this motto—" What shall I render unto the Lord for all his
goodness to me ?" And on the other side a lion lying down b
a lamb, with this motto—" An humble and contrite heart, 6
God, thou wilt not despise."
At the Liverpool police-office on Friday, Nicholas
Evans, a marine store dealer in Greatham-street, Park-lane,
was remanded on suspicion of having wilfully set fire to his
premises on the preceding evening, with intmt to defraud the
County Fire-office, in which he had insured the whole of his
stock in srade.

CHEESE FROM POTATOES—Cheese, -it is said,
of extremely fine quality, is made from potatoes, in Thurin-
gia, and part of Saxony, in the following manner :—After
having collected a quantity of potatoes of good quality, giving
the preference to the white kind, they are boiled in a cauldron
and after becoming cool, they arc peeled and reduced to a
pulp either by means of a grate or mortar. To five pounds of
this pulp, which ought to be as equal as possible, is added a
pound of sour milk, and the necessary quantity of salt. The
whole is kneaded together, and the mixture covered up and
allowed to lie for three or four days according to the season.
At the end of this time it is kneaded anew, and the cheeses
are placed in little baskets, when the superfluous moisture is
allowed to escape. They arc then allowed to dry in the El-lade,
and placed in layers in large pots or vessels, where they mu,t
n main for 15 days. The older these cheeses arc the more
their quality improves. Three kinds of them are made. The
first, which is the most common, is trade accordi.ig to the pro-
portions above indicated ; the second with four parts of pota-
toes, and two parts of curdled milk ; the third, with two parts
of potatoes, and four parts of cow or ewe milk. These cheeses
have this advantage over every other kind, that they do not
engender worms, and keep fresh for a great number of years,
provided they are placed in a dry situation, and in well-closed
vessels.

Never, in the memory of luau, did an old year go
out, or a new one come in, under such favourable auspices, os
to weather, as the last and present ; both Sunday and Monday
in all respects resembling April, or even Aby, much more than
December or January.
Mitch to the credit of the guardians, the inmates of
the workhouses of the Wycombe union, were regaled on Christ-
mas-day with roast-beef, plum-pudding, vegetables, &e. ; and
each man was allowed a pint of ale, and women and chldren
half a pint.

The Bogota papers to the be! inning of November,
which arrived yesterday, contain nothing important, though
the series embraces the whole month of October. A procla-
mati:m by the President of the Republic, dated the 3d, con-
vokes the Ordinary Cortes of Nutna Granada f,r the Ist of
March next. The paper of the Ist contains a long correspon-
' d-nce between the British Envoy, Mr. Turner, and Senor
Lino de Pomba, the Granadian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
respecting the delivery of the archives of the British Consu-
late at Panama, with the required solemnity, this being the
only demand of the British Glyer.tmeitt which still remains
unsatisfied. The correspondence terminates with an account
of the delivery, with the formalities requit ed, to Mr. F. W.
Byrne, now British Pro-Consul at Panama. Mr Turner
having notified the death of his late Majesty in the usual form
to the Government, a public audience took place on the 23d
of October, when he presented to the President his new cre-
dentials as her MajeAy's Envoy to the Republic. A full ac-
count of the pi oceedings is given in the paper of the 29 b, en-
closed within a mourning border.
Mr. Fowler, of Saltah Grange, has a dog which
weighs the enormous weight of 15 stone 121b5., 14155. to the

Mr. Hodgson, of Great Driffieli, has in his pos-
session a duck of the common kind, which has duri ig the
present year produced the unusual number of two hundred
eggs.—Hull Advertiser.

We borrow from the Temps the following account
of the classification of the present Chamber of a-puties,
which is composed of 459 members, of whom it says there are
1 Duke, 10 Marquises, 32 Counts, 9 Viscounts, and 27 Ba-
rons. The names of 75 are preceded by the Patrician par-
ticle de, 4 are Grand Crosses of the Legion of Honour, 15
Grand Officers, 32 Commanders, 62 Officers, and 171 Che-
valiers; 12 are of t'ie Order of July. Four Deputies fill more
than three Government appointments each, 50 fill three, 178
fill two, and 172 fill one such places. Only 55 are perfectly
independent. Of the Deputies who hold places, IS3 r ceive
salaries, and 211 are nominated by Got:cram( nt. Thus 394
are placemen, with or without salaries.

l'AxEs.—From official documents lately published
it appears that the net amount of taxes repealed since 1831 is
7,150,0001. The amount. of new taxes imposed during the
same period is only 870,000/., which dedur!cd from the former
amount, leaves a clear balance of 6,380,000/. of which the
country has been -relieved, being nearly one million sterling
per annum. The gross amount of taxes in 1835 and 1836, de-
ducting new taxes imposed, was 1,366,000/. ; the net amount
1,175.000/.

Parks, which are now so common in this country,
were unknown in England until the eleventh century. The
oldest is the park at Woodstock, which was planned and

BRITIsII MUSEUM.—A Correspondent informs
us that the accomplished translator of Dante and Pinder, the
Rev. Henry Cary, has resigned the humble situation he so
long held as under librarian at the British Museum. " This
is, says the Alhenconn, we presume, a consequence of the ap-
pointment of Mr. Panizzi, as librarian. Wi do not mention
the eircturstance as at all reflecting on Mr. Panizzi ; but it is
one that must increase, we imagine, to a very painful extent,
the responsibility of those who set a,ide the bterary claims and
long secviet s of Mr. Cary in his fay.
A person of the name of John Raven met With his
death in a very deplorable manner, in a woollen mill near
Askrigg, Wensleydale. The tudortunatc man was in the act
of fastening some screws, which were Lbout some part of the
machinery, when a gudg‘•en -end got entangled with a frock
which he ware, and drew hi with great violence, continuing
to twist the frock till it bee me so twined about his ',eek as to
produce strangulation befor aid could be obtained. Two
little boyg, about ten or 12 }ears old, were with him at the
time. They were rot, however, so acqua'nt-d with the ma-
chinery as to throw the cTlinder cut of g( er, but ran out to an
adjoining house, but before the person arrived, the thread of
life had been severed. The deeeased ISM and bad been in
the employ of Messrs. Smith and Co., Lewes, fcr ten years,
and was a very trusty servant. He was thirty:one years of
arse, and has I, ft a wife end four chit 'rep. A 'sutscription has
been entered into for the relief of his disconsolate widow and
orphans, which has already amounted to 30/. —Kendal Mercury.
