At a respectable meeting held at Cuckfield, Sussex,
on \Vednesday last, an unanimous resolution was come to to
allot portions of land, at moderate rents, to deserving la-
bourers of the district.
Mr. Cooper's narrative of his residence in France,
his excursion up the Rhine, and second visit to Switzerland,
includes many subjects of singular interest, especially when
treated by the pen of the author of " The Pilot," " The
Spy," &c. Such are his record of conversations with Lafa-
yette—his interview with Louis Philippe—his sketch of the
present Court of France—his account of the cholera in Paris—
his statement, derived from personal observation, of the revolt
at the funeral of General Lamarque—and his excursions and
adventures in Germany, and among the mountains of Switzer-
land.

AMERICAN TARIFF.—The duties payable on the
importation of grain and flour into the United States in Ame-
rican ships, from countries with which that nation has treaties
of reciprocity, are as follows :
Wheat 25 cents, per bushel
Barley l5 ditto 7d.
Oats
Flour ..
The duty on grain coming direct from the place of growth
in ships of those countries, pay 10 per cent. extra.
INCENDIARISM.—Another diabolical attempt was
made on Monday night, by some wretch, to burn down the
premises occupied by John Holmes, the property of Mr.
George Morris, of the Globe Inn, in Southmoulton. The fire
was discovered in the thatch of an outhouse about ten o'clock,
but a few feet from the place where it had been before ignited,
but it was providentially extinguished before any serious da-
mage was done. This is the third attempt that has been made
to destroy this property.— Western Luminary.
The Tories of the town of Northampton and the
county are endeavouring to get up a political dinner, to take
place early in the ensuing month. They are using their ut-
most endeavours to obtain a numerous attendance, but they
ate likely to fail, although the names of Sir R. Gunning,
M.P., Sir C. Knight, M.P., and B. Cartwright, Esq., are
put forward with the view of procuring an attendance. They
expect to induce the Mayor of Northampton to take the chair.
WINDSOR.—The Commissioners of his Majesty's
Woods have at last purchased those tenements near the Long
Walk, at the entrance to Park-street, and have determined
upon their removal. It is the intention to form' a shrubbery,
with a neat palisade in front along the line.
It is proposed to erect a double crescent at rvlude-
ford, near Christchurch, composed of moderate-sized houses,
but capable, if required, of being thrown two into one, with
ornamental gardens fronting an esplanade, with a descent by
steps on to the beach.

BILLS OF EXCHANGE.—Our attention has been
called by a correspondent to a paragraph which appeared in
our Paper of Tuesday, stating that last Session an Act of
Parliament made bills of exchange due on Sunday payable on
Monday, instead of Saturday, as heretofore. Having since
looked into the Act 6th and 7th William IV., chap. 58, we
find that it does not refer, as the paragraph would imply, to
bills of exchange generally, but is limited to hills accepted for
honour or addressed in case of need ; in reference to which
the Act provides " That if the day following the day on which
such bill of exchange shall become due shall happen on u
Sunday, Good Friday, or Christmas Day, it shall not be
necessary to present or forward for presentment to such ac-
ceptor for honour or referee until the day following." It is
obvious, therefore, that the Act of Parliament has a very
limited operation, and does not apply to general transactions
in bills of exchange.—Morning Paper.

'We regret to announce another melancholy coach
accident (making the third during the last week) which oc-
curred on the evening of Saturday last, on the Windsor road,
near Cranford-bridge. About seven o'clock, as Mr. John
Moody, the proprietor of the old Windsor coaches, was com-
ing towards town with an extra coach, loaded inside and out,
the vehicle was run against by a country waggon, which was
proceeding in a contrary direction, when the horses immedi.
ately became unmanageable, and, startinr, off at full speed, ran
the coach with such force against the bank that it was instantly
upset, and the outside passengers precipitated to the ground
with great violence. The force of the concussion having broken
the reins, the horses continued their impetuous career until
they arrived at Cranford-bridge Inn, where they were stopped
without doing any further damage. Mr. Bacon, proprietor of
the inn, immediately hastened with his servants to the spot
where the accident had occurred, where, on their arrival, they
found that Mr. Moody and 3 of the passengers had sustained
extensive injuries. They were instantly assisted to the Cran-
ford-bridge Inn, and medical assistance sent for. Several sur-
geons promptly attended, whose opinion it was that Mr.
Moody's collar-bone and three of his ribs were broken. Mrs.
Smith, a lady residing at Windsor, it was also found had re-
ceived severe internal injuries, and two gentlemen, named At-
kinson and Thorpe, were also severely bruised, but fortunately
had no bones broken. During Sunday and Monday, Mr.
Moody lay in an extremely dangerous state, but yesterday
morning, the swelling have gone slightly down, the surgeon
ascertained his collar-bole was not broken, but dislocated. It
was immediately set, and it is hoped he may recover, although
'the chances are against him, being an old man, and previously
in but an indifferent state of health. Mrs. Smith still remains
at the inn, suffering dreadfully from the injuries she has re-
ceived, but hopes are entertained she will ultimately recover.
The other two passengers have so far recovered as to be able
to proceed to town. It is not known who the waggon be-
longed to which occasioned the lamentable accident, the wag-
goner having immediately driven off.
