Its may Le regarded as circumstances of only a
iftel. nature, by politicians in other countries, are of serious
Portance in this. The Government has, throughout the
niatter been decidedly in the wrong. M. Humann, the
Inance Minister, found himself dreadfully hampered on coming

Tortifications, and that most atrocious of all humbugging de-

fresh taxes, and the Government knew well that it

. dltood that he should use all possible measures for making the
kz" as productive as possible. A good occasion presented itself
, .
lelthe taking of the census, for by making the population
ores of the larger towns rather larger than they had hitherto
?een, a. provision of the law would be laid hold of for increas-
,-.:,-!ng !heir proportional rate of taxes. Thus a town of 28,000
s , abuts does t
no pay such heavy proportional tax on cer-
'" articles, as one of 30,000, and by including in the fixed
I,serqmeers of the population, the floating numbers, such as the
rig, the patients from the adjacent districts in the cen-

down would come the tax-gatherers. This was a
To,,,atalle expedient, quite worthy of the Charte-verite people
~,lthey had also got another, and that was to get the tax-
'''erers, and verifiers to be authorized to help the persons
Iletnployed to take the census, on pretence that the latter are
utiut ainnerous enough; and thus by letting these lynx-eyed re-
, of the Treasury into each man's castellum, a golden op-
""enity would be afforded of looking over all the num-
," of windows, doors, furniture, &c., and thus of giving
i'reund for an augmentation an the direct taxes. These
"_taanceuvres were almost immediately detected in the various
fir)ovineial towns, and met with a stout opposition, when,
iikat!gh the Government did not expect it, there was most
nu'y to be a solid objection to anything that should become a
itilejtion affecting the plus or minus of the pockets—we mean
the municipal Councils. The tradesmen and manufacturers

prove the existence of slavery in its most degrading and
atrocious forms, in British India ; and to show that its

kindred abomination, the slave-trade, prevails to an

enormous extent as a consequence of its existence. It is
also clear that the foreign branch of it is marked with

the usual revolting features of the African slave-trade,
of which it forms a part, with the additional enormity,
that mutilated individuals are required by the voluptuous
Asiatics to watch over their harems, and that the home

branch of it is associated with all that is debasing in
idolatry, and cruel in murder.—Foreign Journal.

DEPRESSION OF TRADE AT GLOUCESTER.-

that which has existed here for the last six weeks. Busi-

'CAUSE Or 'THE RIOTS AT f INSPECTION OF THE ROYAL
TOULOUSE. I _ ARTILLERY.

WotiLWittli JULY l9,—The annualinspection of the Royal
Regiment of Artillery took place to-day at the garrison at
Woolwich. Shortly after nine o'clock, A.M. the Royal Horse
Artillery and the field-batteries assembled on the Common in
heavy marching order, and received Lieut.-General Lord
Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C. H. on his arrival with the usual
salute. His Lordship was attended by his staff, and he minutely
examined the whole of the men, and expressed himself highly
pleased with their excellent appearance.
At the conclusion of the inspection of the Royal Horse
Artillery, Lord Bloomfield presented a silver medal to Farrier
Major William Seaker of that branch of the service, and in the
kindest manner stated, that he always felt the greatest pleasure
in having to reward meritorious soldiers for their good conduct
during the period they were engaged in her Majesty's service
and in the service of their country. Wm. Soaker, in addition
to the medal, will, agreeably to Art. 49 of the regulations for
pensioning soldiers of the Ordnance Military Corps, receive a
gratuity of lb/. besides the usual rate of pension to which his
services entitle him.
The Commandant, on his return from the Common, exa-
mined all the barracks and internal arrangements of the garri-
son, with which he expressed himself well pleased.
At three o'clock the whole of the Foot Artilery assembled
on the Common, under the command of Colonel Lacy, and
the Ist battalion under Lieut.-Colonel Walker; the 2d batta-
lion, Lieut.-Colonel Blachely ; the 3d battalion, Lieut.-Colonel
Jackson ; the 4th battalion, Lieut.-Colonel abine ' • the sth
battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Cruthenden ; the 6th battalion,
Lieut.-Colonel Hunt; the 7th battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Bran-.
dreth ; the Bth battalion, Major Sweeting ; the 9th, Captain
Palmer, the two latter being temporary appointments.
The men were formed into battalions, and his Lordship
passed along each of them, and made a minute examination,
receiving from each Commanding Officer a report of the state
of his battalion.
Several of the Non-commissioned Officers entitled to medals
and gratuities were present in plain clothes, and were called
in front of their respective battalions to receive the medals
from the hands of his Lordship, who on each occasion addressed
them in the kindest mariner. His Lordship afterwards pro-
ceeded along the whole line, and at ten minutes past four the
men marched back to their barracks, having by their general
appearance given great satisfaction.

DEATH OF SIR THOMAS STRANGE.—Sir
Thomas, who has for some months past been residing at St.
Leonard's, died on Friday, at the advanced age of 83 years.
The deceased, who was second son of the late Robert Strange,
was married first, in 1797, to the second daughter of Sir R.
Anstruther, Bart., of Balcaskie, and secondly, in 1806, to the
second daughter of Sir William Burroughs, of Castle Bagshaw,
county Cavan (baronetcy extinct). He was called to the bar
in 1785, and was Chief Justice of Nova Scotia from 1791 to
1796, and was Recorder, and afterwards Chief Justice, of Ma-
dras for 18 years. He received the order of knighthood on
being appointed to the latter judicial situation.
THE LATE RIGHT HON. THOMAS P. Couit-
TEmAr.—The funeral of the above highly respected gentleman
took place on Thursday last, when his mortal remains were de-
posited in the family vault in Pewderham Church, Devon. The
funeral was quite private, the unfortunate death of the Right
Hon. Gentleman having cast so deep a gloom over the Devon
family, that several months will elapse before their affliction
can be dispelled. The Earl of Devon, Lord Courtenay, M.P.,
and Mr. Courteng, eldest son of the deceased, and other mem-
bers of the family, attended the obsequies of their revered
relative.

DEATH OF LORD FEVERSHAM.—We have
to record the demise of the above Peer, who expired at his
mansion, in Arlington-street, on Friday last, after a short ill-
' ness. The late Charles Duncombe, second Baron Feversham,
• of Duncombe Park, county of York, in the peerage of the
United Kingdom, was born December 5, 1764, married Sep-
tember 24, 1795, Lady Charlotte Legge, only daughter of
William, second Earl of Dartmouth, by whom he had issue
twelve children, six of whom survive their lamented parent—
namely, the Hon. William Duncombe, M.P. for the North
Riding of Yorkshire (now Lord Feversham), born January 14,
1798, married December 18, 1823, Lady Louisa Stewart,
third daughter of the late and sister of the present Earl of
Galloway and Duchess of Marlborough, by whom his Lordship
• has a numerous family ; the Hon. Frances, born June, 1802,
and married May 31, 1832, Sir Thomas Digby Legard, Bart. ;
the Hon. Captain Arthur Duncombe, R.N., M.P. for East
Retford, born Mareh 24, 1806, and married Miss D. Field,
daughter of the late Mr. John Wilmer Field; the Hon.
Louisa, born Nov. 16, 1807, and married to the Earl of Eldon
in 1831 ; the Hon. and Rev. Augustus Duncombe, born Nov.
2, 1814, and married, in June last, Lady Elizabeth Douglas,
daughter of the late Marquis of Queensberry ; and the Hon.
Octavius Duncombe, born April 8, 1817, a Lieutenant in the
Ist Life Guards. The late Lord was uncle of Thomas Slingsby
Duncombe, M.P. for Finsbury.
SINGULAR SUICIDE OF ONE OF MESSRS.
DONKIN'S ENGlNEERS.—Yesterday an inquest was held be-
fore William Carter, Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, at the
Royal Fort, Grange-road, Bermondsey, on the body of James
Thompson, aged 48, who has been in the service of Messrs.
Donkin for upwards of 20 years. The deceased was not ob-
served to leave the factory at the usual hour on Friday, but on
Saturday morning, at five o'clock, he was found hanging in a
secluded part of it, when the watchman went round at five
o'clock. He was quite dead. On the beadle searching his
pocket, a most extraordinary packet was found. It was
addressed in pencil, To the whole World," and written
over in all directions, and the following is a copy of it :
" This is to certify I have served Messrs. H. Donkin and Co.
faithfully since August, 1820. I bear no ill will to any man.
God preserve my wife and unprotected children, and God have
mercy on my soul. James Thompson. The Rev. Mr. Gib-
son, of Bermondsey Old Church, refused to baptise my son
Alfred, but I hope some good man will." At another part
of the paper was, " Success to Brunell." "To Mr. B.
Hawes, Esq., M.P. You are a liberal man; if you will take
the duty off tobacco, you will much oblige me. Jas. Thomp-
son." In another place was written, " Ha, ha; Money is
power, and power is tyranny. The engine is off." The Co-
roner having referred to the nature of the case, the jury, with-
out hesitation, returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity."
Viscountess Jocelyn has been on a visit to her
Majesty at Windsor Castle during the past week. it
was her first visit since her nuptials, and the Queen has
been pleased to present her with a very elegant cadeau,
or present of brilliants, as an especial mark of her re-
gard. The Viscountess (then Lady Fanny Cowper) was
one of the series of Court beauties who attended as maids

of honour at the coronation, and it is also on this ac-
count (partaking somewhat of Court etiquette) that
this valuable present has been made. Lord Jocelyn and
his accomplished Lady will not leave for the Continent
until after her Majesty's visit to Earl and Countess Cow-
per, at Pansanger, Herts.

THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—During the last
few days several pictures of first-rate class of art have been
added to the national collection. The two Francais, pur-
Ilased by Government for 3,500 L, are works of decided merit.
They represent " The Virgin Mary and Infant John attended
by Saints," and " Dead Christ supported by the Virgin, and
attended by angels." They were originally in the Duke of
Lucca's collection, ind were exhibited in Pall-mall-east, and
afterwards sold by public auction by Mr. Phillips. A fine
specimen-of the works of Pietro Perugino, " The Virgin with
the Infant Saviour and St. John," is placed in the large room,
having been purchased for 8001. from Mr. Beckford, in whose
possesssion it had been for some time. There has also been
lately added from Mr. Beckford's collection a Raffaelle, " St.
Katharine," a Garofalo, and a Mazzolino de Ferrara. For
these three 7,000 guineas have been paid, the Raffaelle being
valued at 5,5001. of the money. A very acceptable present
from Lady William Gordon has likewise been added to the
collection. It is a beautiful study of five angels' heads, by
Sir Joshua Reynolds, and is in a very excellent state, and
replete with all the excellencies for which this master is so
justly famed.

STOP AT HOME.—The best women in the
world are those who stop at home. Such is the opinion
of the best judges, to wit, their husbands. The worst
women are those who have no home, or who love all

other places better ; such is the verdict of those who
meet them abroad. A wife in the house is as indispen-

POPULATION OF SALISBURY.—It appears by
the Census just taken that the population of Salisbury, in.
eluding the Close and the suburb of Fisherton Anger, is
5,231 males, and 6,482 females, forming a total of 11,713.
By a comparison with the return made at the previous
Census in 1831, we find that an increase of only 341 has
taken place in the ten years; and that about two-thirds
of this increase in the suburb of Fisherton alone. The
number of inhabited houses, however, returned for the

city is 60 more than the number in 1831; from which it
would appear that the means and condition of the people
improved, although their numbers have remained nearly

THUGGEE.—From the depositions of some of
these Thugs, who had been taken, we make the follow-
ing extracts:—" Gopaul—' I murdered, in company with
a large gang of Thugs, eight travellers at Beloochepore,
and took six of their children. I never had any other
occupation.' Jewan—' I murdered four people at Kus-
seeagunge. " Six children of the murdered people

ness of all descriptions seems literally suspended, and
there are now, in the midst of summer, a far larger num-
ber of persons out of, employment than thcre were when
the intense frost of last winter put a stop to inland navi-
gation. Tradesmen universally complain that their
shops are unvisited by customers anti their wares can-
not be disposed of, whilst so destitute are the poor, that
numbers of children are kept from the British and other
schools and left to roam in idleness about the streets,

because their parents cannot afford to pay the small
weekly sum charged for their education. We confess we
see but little prospect of an immediate revival, and we
are sorry to believe that our own neighbourhood is not a
solitary instance of this gloomy state of things.—Glou-
ceiter Journal.
