VI SION OF A V 0 T ER,

sombre pall,
I laid me down beneath night
And dreamt a dream of Londo'ng'ssCouivldicelrloaslsl.my
'Tis strange that such a dream brain,
But so it is when poets take Champazne.
The dream was this—that I was calmly strolling
Inside the Hall, soon after Rothichild's polling,
When, all at once, I. halted ;n my walking,
On hearing voices, as of persons talking.
So tenting round to ascertain the noise,
The talkatives, I found, were two big boys.
One's name was Mago,,,, and the other's flog ;
And this is something of their dialogue :
" Neighbour," said 'log, " I think this day's election
Has furnNt'd us with something worth inspection,
And, certainly, this great proceeding closes
Much to the credit of the Tailors, MOSES.
I did not care for speeches, cheers, or votes,
half What I did for MOSES'S summer Coats.
The excitement of the scene will do—hut, clang it I
The suits of MOSES a:together bang it."
" Hear, hear I well done I that's capital," said Magog,
" m
There never were such waistcoat, coats and breeches,
illoce 1 and yoa have occu'fied these 'itches."
"MOSEg & SOS'." said he, " make dress most stunningly,"
( %nd lucre the little fellow winli'd most cunningly.)
" I wonder what their prices are," sail Magog,
" Their articles have made o e rather ' geg..
IIGSES & SON i‘ould make us look quite slap,
What do you say to trying them old Chap ?"
" I'll go," said Gog, " I want a morning own,
And here's a gentleman will h 1p us down."
0, dear ? ((minks I) I'd rather be excus'd,
And my compliance was at once refus'd.
So down the giants came, with pond'rous leap,
And I awoke and found I'd been asleep.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
he Company being prohibited, by the Ig4th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis-
puting a Policy upon fly ground whatever
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE ‘IIUM SYSTEM. - By this plan only one-half of the
premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p .1d
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD romciEl are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER -HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. Oct the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for resideriae beyond 35 degrees of the
equator. •
Ne Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life

A NEW DISCOVERY.
VER. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
vit. street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of A itTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
igatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the ori;onals by the closest observer; they
never change col ur or decay, and will he found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method dues not require the extraction
of r4ots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication.

WFLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
P Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk liar,
York,

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.
"SlR,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
(e• repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advic.- I could obtain, was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free trom pain; and before I had finished
the box. I never was better in my lite : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism • and V-ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, ou are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSO."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing
effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

TO THE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
Japer on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put let
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tanity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate tor the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hairon her head, after using ltabout four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
Sever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekiey inserts this testimony to-the virtues of Mr. (3.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 118. bottle it tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
...neyc.ei,idbaatnasy

h "
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey,aagf
drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week,win peg:
vent the hair from coming away with the consb, make it strong, and-
nevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
oair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most dedicate ladies may use this delightful precinct of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
)dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion -
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads a few appplications. If used on infants'
beads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth 01 hair.—Bee

EXTRAORDINARY SUSPENSION
OF A POLICE INSPECTOR.
The following circumstance has given rise to a good
deal of remark during the past week:—ln the early part
of last week, Mr. T. P. Williams, M.P., of 41, Berle-
ley-square, was brought to Marlborough-street Police-
court, charged on the police-sheet with having made an
indecent exposure the over eight in Bentinck-street. Mr.
Williams, it appeared, was seen about eleven at night in
the middle of 13entinek-street, Oxford-street, a public
thoroughfare, committing a nuisance. A female who
lived is the, street, feeling herself insulted by the expo-
sure, which she was compelled to witness, called the
nuisance committer a blackguard, and added that she
had a good mind to give him in charge to the police. A
tradesman, named Baldwin, residing in Regent-street,
having also witnessed the conduct of Mr. Williams, went
up to him and desired him to choose a more retired
position, there being a wall or gateway near, by which
a public exposure might be avoided. It is alleged that
Mr. Williams would not comply with the decent re-
quest, upon which Mr. Bald win, acting, as he said, on
public grounds, gave him into custody. Mr. Williams
was taken to Vine-street station-house, and the charge
against him was stated by Mr. Baldwin to Inspector
When, the officer on duty. Mr. Williams gave no con
tradiction to Mr. Baldwin's statement, and refused to
give his name or address, or to state anything further
than that he was " a gentleman." The inspector having
beard the statement of Mr. Baldwin, that a female had
been shocked at the exposure she had witnessed, that
Mr. Baldwin had made a request, in vain, for the indee
cency to cease, as he and other inspectors have been
accustomed to do in all similar cases, booked the charge,
and detained the alleged offender. The detention may
be attributed to the circumstance of the refusal on the
part of Mr. Williams to give his name and address. Had
he given reliable inti.rmstion to the inspector that he
was a gentleman, there can be doubt that the ordinary.
course would have been taken as in cases where per-
sons of respectability are concerned the de-'
teudant's own bail would have been accepted for'
his appearance at the police-court the following morn-
mg. The inspector, however, did not gain any
clue to the real station of his prisoner until eight or
eine in the morning, when the case was heard by Mr.
Hardwick, at Marlborough-street Police-court. Mr.
Baldwin repeated the evidence be gave at the station-
house, and proved that an exposure was witnessed by
himself, and also by a female, wile had appealed to bun ,
on the subject. The defence of Mr. Williams was, that
he had intended to visit one of the theatres, in Ox-
ford-street; that finding there was no performance that
night, he walked down some of the bye streets until he
came to Ben iinek-street. He declared he had no inten-
tion to insult any one. Mr. Hardwick, who heard the
case at lull length, did not appear to doubt for a mo-
ment that an outrage on public decency had been com-
mitted, but as the " intent" was not fully made out, and
es Mr. Williams had been locked up in the station-
house all night, he considered that sufficient punishment
had been sustained; and discharged the defendant with a
caution to be more reserved in his proceedings for the
iuture. Seven or eight days after this occurrence, In.
spector ‘Vhall was summoned to Scotland-yard, before
Mr. Mayne, one of the Police Commissioners, and sus
ponded for having Liken the charge against Mr. Wil
liams.—Sunday Paper.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTII, MONDAY.—Tbe Royal yachts Victoria
and Albert and Fairy, Captain Lord Adolphus Fusels-
reace, G.C.IL, went- down to Cowes this morning to
await her Majesty's pleasure.
Extract of a letter from the Naiad store-ship, dated
Callao, May 13:—" The Gorgan steam-sloop, Comman-
der Poynter, arrived here on the 11th ult., and was to
have taken the May mail to Valparaiso, but contradictory
orders arrived by the Valparaiso mail, on account of the
Champion being detained at Cobija for the protection
of British interests, there being a revolution in Bolivia.
Peru is also rather unsettled, so much so that the Ad-
miral thinks it necessary to keep a man-of-war here,
so the Gorgan remains at Callao with her topmasts
and yards struck, awaiting orders to be relieved by some
other vessel."
Extract of a letter from the Inconstant, 36, Captain
Sheppard, dated San Francisco, California, April 16:—
"We arrived here this afternoon, all well. We left
Callao on the 13th of March, remain here a few days,
proceed to Vancouver's Island, remain there a short
time, then return here on our way to Valparaiso, where
we shalt arrive about the middle of September, if all
goes well. several of our men have `run for the gold
regions."

FOOT RACES AT CARLISLE.—Two foot races, one
of half a mile, and the other of a mile, came off; the first
on Tuesday and the latter on Thursday, on the race
ground at Carlisle. There was on each occasion a vast
concourse of spectators present. For the half•mile raee
16 entered, but 13 only came to the post. As soon as all
declared themselves ready, a pistol was fired, and a capi-
tal start eiTtcted, Deane and Conway (the favourite)
getting off together. Before a third of the distance was
covered, several gave in. On entering the distance it
was " Lel!ows to mend" with several of the others en-
gaged, Martin and Conway still leading, with G. Hope
about six yards in the rear. On entering the straight
run, Hope passed Martin, challenged Conway, and ran
in a gallant winner by two yards and a half, Cunway
s. cond, J. Martin third, and Coathall fourth. Several
of Conwa)'s friends say it was a " sell," and that Con-
way might have won if he liked. For the mile race on
ihursnay nit.e started. They left the scratch in good
style, G. Hope with a slight lead, which he maintained
to the distance ; here Conway headed him, and ran in
an easy winner by eight yards, !lope second, Hardy
third, the rest beaten off.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

f~ ;--~

Yesterday a Court was held.
THE PURCHASE OF LAND IN IRELAND commalTE.
When the Court assembled on Thursday last specially
to take into consideration the question of appointing a
Committee on the subject of the purchase of land in
Ireland, it was agreed to that the aldermen present, and
the aldermen not present, who might be Members of
Parliament, should be members of such Committee.
The names of several aldermen accordingly appeared
upon the record of the Court's proceedings.
Mr. H. LOWMAN TayLoa, when the minutes of the
last Court were read by Mr. Woodthorpe, the clerk of
the Court, complained of what he considered to be an
inaccuracy in the record of the names of the alder-
men, inasmuch as the names of four aldermen who
were Rot present when the Committee was consti-
tuted were upon the list, Ile objected to what he consi-
dered to be in that instance a violation of the principle
that no person who was not present at the time of the
appointment of a Committee should be eligible as a mem.
ber of it, and he mused that the names of the four elder.
men be struck off the list.
Mr. WIRE (to the Town Clerk)--Is there on the list
the neme of any member who was not present in the Court
on that da) ?
The TOWN CLERK.—Certainly not.
Mr. LOTT observed that if Aldermen who were not
present upon the formation of a committee were to be
elected, the principle of the established rule which re-
ferred to Aldermen as well as to commoners was totally
destroyed. Why, he asked, shuuld the Aldermen enjoy:
such a privilege?
Mr. H. L. JONES said he apprehended that several
members of the Court were noVaware of the meaning
which it was the custom of the court to attach to the
word " present." It was, to his knowledge—and he
spoke as an old member of the court—the usual prac-
tice to consider that au Alderman who attended the
court during any part of the day before the appoint
ment of a committee was eligible to act upon such
committee. The principle was recognised in a place
of higher authority than the Court of Common Council,
the word " present ' adhering to the member, hoefewr
short might be the duration of his stay. There was
another Feint to which it was necessary to call the
attention of the court. The town clerk, as officer of
the court, kept a record of its proceedings, and was
bound by the terms of his duty to enter the names of
those who were elected, and be could state whether
the Aldermen objected to had or had not entered the
court before the appointment of the committee.—(Hear.)
Mr. H. TAYLOR did not think it necessary to consider
how the House of Commons transacted their business.
The members of that assembly might consider, for all he
knew, the words "present" and "absent" to be synony-
mous.—(A laugh.) Lie recollected that the motion for
the committee included the Aldermen " present," and
the Aldermen absent, who happened to be Members of
Parliament, but he could not accept of the definition of
the word " present" as meaning " absent."—(Laughter.)
The TOWN CLERK said it was the invariable practice,
since he had been un officer of the Corporation, to men-
tion the Aldermen who merely appeared during part of
the day as present during the whole day, except their
absence happened to be noticed by special motion.—
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. LoTT—Then the best way in which we can speak
of an absent Alderman, is to say that he is present.—
(Laughter.)
Alderman LAWRENCE said the Aldermen were enti-
tled to some indulgence as to their attendance in that
Court in consideration of the magisterial duties, fre
quently of a very heavy nature, which they had to per-
term, and the knowledge of which had, no doubt, its
weight in establi,hing the rule affecting their eligibility
on committees. It happened that on the day upon
which the Irish committee was appointed, several of the
Aldermen were engaged in their official duties at the
Central Criminal Court, and one was performing the
magisterial duties of the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-
house, while another was presiding at Guildhall.
Mr. WIRE said the question was, whether the Court
would vary a practice of long continuance upon the sud-
den exception taken by ono of its members without the
notice necessary to be given even in matters of an ordi-
nary nature. Ilia experience convinced him that the
mere momentary appearance of an Alderman in that
court made that functionary " present" the whole dry;
and if Mr. H. L. Taylor objected to the regulation, let
notice be given of a motion on the subject.—(Hear.)
Mr. HARRISON said the Town Clerk had, by stating
the practice of the Court, decided that the mover had
acted with irregularity in raising the question, and that
an alteration in that practice could nut be achieved with-
out regular notice.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR expressed the dissatisfaction he
felt at the extraordinary definition of the word "pre
sent," which, it now appeared, meant nothing at all, but
that a man was "not present."—(Laughter.) lle could
not tolerate so flat a departure from common sense, and
es he wished to see the Aldermen really " present" on
committees, he was desirous of making sure of their at-
tendaace by enforcing a rule which was evidently made
in order to induce members to pay more strict attention
to their duties.

r HOP INTELLIGENGE.
—on 01:GlIt JULY 9.—Tho accounts this morning
com::=, very unfavJurable. The duty hits gradually
fjlen to 60,0001. We have more doing iu our
market, and 'very few hops on sale.
2,IAIDSTON E.—A close examination of severed pa •
rishes in this immediate locality has led to the con-
clusion that the insect vermin have, upon the whole,
increased during the past week, and that the grounds
are even worse than is generally imagined. Some
few pieces there are, indeed, which show some im-
provement, but even these are in a bad state. Still it
must not be imagined that the bines are past recovery,
favourable weather may yet bring some I:,,ps.
111 AWN G.—The bine is now turning yellow at
Places and the effects of the vermin show strongly on
the weak bines. The nigger have made their appear-
ance, but we see no diminution of lice. Appear-
ances altogether would indicate a lower duty than last
week.

13.a.nsicuLEr.— Our correspondent says, "During
the past week I have endeavoured to find out the real
state of the hops in this and neighbouring parishes.
The general reports are truly unfavourable, and from
what I have seen myself, I. hare no hesitation in
quoting them daily falling into a blight."
HAWKHURST.—The grounds here are doing very
badly; there is no improvement.
GOUDHURST.—The preceding week has not been
attended with any improvement; in fact, the greatest
portion have retrograded considerably, the fly having
attacked them simultaneously one day, and dispersed
the following, and not without causing injury. In
some grounds the whole of the bine, from bottom to
top, is covered with vermin, with not the least indica-
ti )n of lateral shoots making their appearance.
ORPINGTON.—AbOUt three out of four hop grounds
about here will not grow a hop, the fourth only par•
tially, to all present appearance. There is very little
bine, and no chance now of any more growing;
and what there is is dying off as fast as it can.
CRANBROO.K.—The bine still continues in a very
precarious state—we think rather worse than last
week.
Mir/11AM AND SBAL.-110 hops have improved
but slowly during the past week, and are still in a
precarious state.
EDENI3ItIDGE.—The best grounds are doing pretty
well, but the weak bines are quite done.
SUS,EX.—At Tunbridge Wells market on Friday,
the reports of the Sussex planters were, that the duty
must fall considerably under 100090/.
FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS,
JULY 9.—Our predictions, a fortnight since, are
verified to the very letter. The plantations, with
very few exceptions, are completely blighted, and the
only hope remains that we may have a good rain, and
get a few hops at the tops of the poles. There is
scarcely a pocket of yearling Farnham or Country
hops unsold, and very few of the fine growth of 1847,
which have advanced in price very considerably.—
Maidstone Gazette, July 10.

GLASGOW.—ALARMING ACCIDENT AT THE QUAY.
—Yesterday afternoon an incident, fortunately unat-
tended with fatal consequences, occurred at the quay,
which occasioned for some time considerable alarm
among those who were on the wharf. The steamer,
Duchess of Argyll, being advertised to sail at half-past
five o'clock in the afternoon, a great number of intending
passengers were in waiting at the wharf, previous to her
arrival from Lielensburgh. From some cause of deten-
tion the vessel was not larwarel at the quay till the time
advertised for sailing, and, in consequence, the crowd of
partias co
mi g
n on shore, and others pressing. on board,
occasioned no little stir, and some unavoidable confusion.
It was, therefore, within a quarter to six o'clock before
the steamer was ready to start on her downward trip.
Just as she was canting out into the river an individual
named Alexander Taylor, who was standing close on
the edge of the wharf, seeing away some of his friends,
lost his balance and fell forward. In doing so
ho threw out his arms to save himself, and caught
hold of the dress of a Mrs. Watson, who, with an
infant in her arms, was watching the departure
of her husband for Gairloehhead. The consequence
was that all three were at once precipitated into the
water. The incident being witnessed by hundre,a the
utmost alarm was manifested by all the parties within
view of the occurrence. A boat was instantly lowered,
by means of which Mrs. Watson was picked up, along
with her infant, in a few minutes after their immersion.
Taylor was rescued at the same time with the life-hook,
and safely brought out, not much the worse. Unfor-
tunately, the female, in falling, appeared to have come
against the piles, as her forehead was considerably cut.
Otherwise, however, her injuries are but trifling, and as
she was promptly attended by a medical gentleman, who
was at the time on the quay, no dangerous results are
expected to ensue. The infant, with the exception of the
cold bath, was quite unhurt. The accident would not, in
ail probability have occurred, had the police, who are to
some extent responsible .for the safety o: the quay, been
able to discharge their duty efficiently; but this, from the
Circumstances ahoy., narrated, was rendered almost im-
possible.—Nort/i British Mail.
' TirE CoAST DEFENCES.—The batteries on the
Thames and Medway districts will all be completed in
(
about two months from tree present period, and will be
of a very efficient description for the defence of these
important navigable rivers. The number of guns to be
mounted for the defences of' these rivers are thirteen at
Shorn Ilcad, thirteen at Coal-house Point, fifteen at
Gravesend, and fifty at Tilbury Fort. The whole of
the guns are 32-pounders, mounted on wooden carriages,
and they aro all to have iron platforms for being fired
from on a plan submitted by Lieutenant-Colonel Har-
dinge, KM., Royal Artillery. The idea of having a
more extended practice range than at present exists in
Woolwich Marshes has been revived, and the advantage
of a three miles range in an easterly direction is to
be submitted to the Committee on the Ordnance esti-
mates now sitting. Some difficulties have arisen with
regard to Shoeburyness, owing to the objections made
by the Lord of the Manor, but that locality does not
afford any particular advantages to render the objections
of any consequence. Shoeburyness would answer very
well as practice ground at certain periods of the tide,
but it is isolated, and the conveyance of artillerymen
from Woolwich to that quarter would always be at-
tended with considerable expense, and the loss of time
to the members of the Select Committee who would
have to attend experiments, would far counterbalance
any saving which might be effected in obtaining a prac-
tice-ground cheaper than at Woolwich. On the con-
trary, were a three-mile range procured at Woolwich
and Plumstead Marshes, the only difficulty being the
high demands of the proprietors of the grounds, the
valuable time of the members ot the Select Committee
would be saved, experimenters would be better able to
attend at a trifling expense, owing to Woolwich being so
liar London, and the ofnca.s, non-commissioned officers
and men of the. Royal Artillery would have an opportu-
nity, so desirable, of practising at that length of range
to render themselves proficient in the improved part of
the duties of artillerymen. The batteries which would
have to bo erected for firing from might also be so
situated as ai become important as apart of the defences
of the river Thames; and their vicinity to the garrison
would at all times ensure an ample supply. of. men

FOREIGN WOOD GoODS.—AII attempt having been
recently made to introduce, free of duty, under the de-
nomination of staves, a number of batten ends, subject
to duty, as wood sawn, which had been reduced to the
dimensions of staves not exceeding 72 inches in length,
7 inches in width, nor 31 inches in thicknesss,—the
principal officers of the Customs department
at the
several ports and places throughout the kingdom have
been made acquainted therewith, and have received
directions to eujuin the officers under their survey to use
their utmost vigilance to detect any similar imposition
which should be attempted at either of their respective
ports.
CIIOLERA.—CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Thursday

Westminster, at the Rising Sun public.beuse, Charles

MALLEAELE IRON SCREW PROPELLERS. It has
hitherto been usual to make screw propellera of brass or
cast iron, which, on any imperfection taking place in
them, or any difference in form being considered advis-
able, have to be cut down and recast. An experiment is
now in progress in the factory at Woolwich Dockyard
to make screw propellers of malleable iron to obviate
these inconveniences, and no doubt is entertained of its
success. The Screw propeller at present in course of
fortaation, and making of malleable iron by the aid of
one of Nasin) th's hammers, has had one of its flanges
and the centre completely formed, and when the other
flange is fully added, will weigh 2i tons, or 50 cwt.

THE ORDNANCE ESTIMATES.—The excess of ex-
penditure on these estimates for the year 1847.48 is
stated by a Parliamentary return to amount to 35,386 i.,
which will ha required to be voted by the House of
Commons.

Mr. WIRE—The question as to the omission of the
names of the four Aldermen cannot he put.
The LORD MAYOR put it to the Court whether it
would be equitable to deny the privileges of the Court
to the Alderman who was actually engaged in perform-
ing the magisterial functions of his office at the moment
a committee, iu which he might take a deep interest, was
in a state of formation?—(Hear, hear.) It struck him
that if some rule of the kind to which several of the
members had alluded were not acted upon, the Court
might be reasonably charged with having given but little
encouragement to th* zeal and energy of the magistrates.
—(Hear, hear.) If Mr. H. L. Taylor objected to the
existing practice that it was a practice in error, and not
to be justified, he could give notice in the usual manner,
and the subject could undergo ample discussion ; but
Mr. Jones was right in stating that the town clerk, who
kept the records which wero to pass down to posterity,
could speak but from facts. Under these circumstances
he had to cxpress his decision that no alteration could
take place in the existing practice as represented by the
town clerk without notice, and that, as, a matter of
course, the subject was at an end.—(Cheers.)
Upon the motion of Mr. Deputy BEDFORD, the letter
of Lord Clarendon upon the subject of Ireland was
ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the mem-
bers of the Court.—Adjourned.

PUBLIC DEBT.—A return moved for by Mr. Hume
states the actual decrease of charge of the public debt
between 1828 and 1849, at 672,4041. The decreased
charge of the long annuities, life annuities, and annuities
for terms of yearn, is 163,954/.
THE ARCBJELOGICAL INSTITUTE.—We are enabled
to furnish our readers exclusively with some particulars
relative to the approaching meeting of the Institute at
Salisbury. The proceedings will possess greater interest
to the learned world than at any previous anniversary.
The constitutions of Clarendon and the Anglo-Saxon
history of the district will receive a most elaborate ,
elucidation from two of the first Anglo• Saxon
scholars of the day. Professor Willis has intimated that.or
Salisbury Cathedral will afford

other antiquities of the neighbourh ood have
much attention frcm the literati connected

with the Institute, that some difficulty will be expe-
rienced in bringing the more important subjects within
the period allotted for the meeting. As regards rank
and number also, it is anticipated that the present anni-
versary vtill Eclipse all its predecessors. Tile Marquis of
Northampton, the Lord Bishop of Oirord, and u very
numerous party of the nobility will be the guests of the
Lord B:shup of Salisbury, at the Palace, and of the
Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, at Wilton, during the meet-
ing.—Hampshire Advertiser.
LEAMINGTON, JULY 7.—The summer amusements
are now at their height, and owing to the sudden closeof
the London season, several arrivals of distinction are
daily occurring. Macready's farewell visit at the theatre
was a source of unbounded pleasure to the large circle
of his admirers in this county. The character which be
selected for personation was the haughty and wily
Richelieu. The gn at cricket match between the Wor-
cestershire and the Leamington clubs, has just termi•
nated in favour of the latter; the principal players
being Lord Guernsey, Major Clowes, Hon. W. E. Talbot,
Hon. Mr. Wrottesley, and Captain Lindow. Other
matches are coming off next week. The lath instant ii
to witness the first of a series of Concerts d'Ete and
Pyrotechnical Fetes; the latter being under the direc-
tion of Mr. Darby, of the Vauxhall-gardens. The en-
suing Monday will be distinguished by a second horti-
cultural show, which will take the lead amongst other
similar provincial meetings, the prizes thrown open to
the widest competition, being little inferior to thos
Chiswick. These exhibitions are now becoming

THE CAXTON TESTIMONIAL.--yesterday
evening meeting of the subscribers to the lund fur erecting aa
monument to the memory of Caxton was held at the
Society of Arts, John•street, Adelphi, Mr. B. &Afield,
M.P., in the chair. The Rev. Mr. Milli:lan. read re•
port, from which it appeared that the total amount of
subscriptions up to that time bad been 450 L, of which
2401. had been paid. The expenditure had been 621.
.The rapid succession of events which during the last two
years had exercised a depressing influence upon the
commerce and public enterprise of the country had, of
course, withheld many subscriptions from this fund, al-
though an appeal had been made to the heads of the
printing and publishing business. This report was re.
ceive d and adopted, and, upon the motion of Mr. Clowes,
seconded by Mr. Aymett, u resolution was agreed to au-
thorizing the expenditure of further sums in collecting
subscriptions, the result to be reported at a meeting in
the spring of 1850. The meeting theu thanked the
chairman and separated.
