SUDDEN DEATH IN EXETER HALL.—During

' the speech of the Rev. Hugh Stowell, at the meeting of the
Frotest.:nt Association in Exeter Hall, this morning, a gentle-
man was taken ill on the platform, and being removed to the
Committee-Room, it was found that life was wholly extinct.
We learned, on inquiry, that the deceased is Dr. Fencock, re-
aiding in the neighbourhood of Hanover-square. The cause
of death is presumed to be an attack of apoplexy.
CHURCH EXTENSlON.—Petitions to the two
Rouses of Parliament from the different congregations of Dis-
exlters in this town, praying that there may he no grant of the
'Public money for Church extension, the edifices now in ex-

THE WEATHER.—According to accounts from
• all parts of the United Kingdom, the refreshing showers had
been quite general ; the weather altogether was most propi-
tious, and the whole face of nature appears to have undergone
most beauteous and delightful change.
The fact that woodcocks occasionally remain
throughout the year, and breed in this country, has this season
been established at Netherwitton, the beautiful seat of Raleigh
. Trevelyan, Esq., near„Morpeth. In the romantic wood, a little
to the west of the mansion, a woodcock's nest was found about
a fortnight ago by the gamekeeper ; it contained four eggs,
nd, soon after, four fine youtit; bails left their shells, and are
now in the course of being reared by their parent=, in a nest
prepared for them in the immediate neighbourhood.

We copy the following from the New York Papers :
" Official Department of State, April 9.
" Information having been received at this departmen
that upon vessels of the United States, whether fishing or
trading, passing the Strait or Gut of Canso, a light duty
of 6 cents. per ton register of the shipping, is demanded by
the British Custom-house officers. It is thought proper that
public notice be given of the fact, in order that the masters
of vessels on trading voyages requiring their passage through
the Straits of Canso, might avoid difficulties and delays by
providing themselves with the weans of paying the duty
referred to; and that vessels engaged in fishing or other
pursuits not requiring their passage through the said
strait, may not, from ignorance, unnecessarily subject
themselves to the payment of it, as the right of the Bri-
tish authorities to levy the duty on fishing vessels is dis-
puted. It is recommended that the masters of vessels of
this description which may have occasion to frequent the
strait, be likewise prepared, in order to avoid injury from
delay, to pay the duty, but to do so under protest.'

The Batavicr Dutch steamer of the 12th inst. has ar,
rived, bringing Dutch Papers of the same date.

The quantity of cottbujeecived at New Orleans, up to
the 29th March, was 657'.000 bales, of which 505,000
had been exported, leaving about 160,000 bales still in the

To be had of the Author, who may be consulted, as usual,
daily till One o'clock; and of all booksellers.
" These works evince great professional and scientific ta-
lens."--Oxford Chronicle, April 11, 1840.
" A successful mode of treating diseases so formidable, so
fatal, and so common as Dropsy and Consumption, which assail the
human frame from so many, and frequently from such opposite
causes, must obviously be an inestimable benefit to mankind.
There is scarcely a disease to which flesh is heir that may not
terminate either in Dropsy or Consumption, from the simple
cold, which inflames the mucous membrane, and obstructs the
secretions of tho body, to the more appalling aneurism or ossi-
fication. From an enemy, therefore, that threatens from so
many quarters, and lurks in such complicated ambush, all men
have been anxious to be delivered ; but hitherto their wishes
have been disappointed. Dr. Bright details, step by step, his
mode of dealing with Dropsy and Consumption, the Medicines
he exhibits, and gives many actual cases of patients cured after
they had been given up by eminent members of his profession."

TO HORTICULTURISTS.
HORTICULTURISTS are invited to inspect
at that most experienced and extensive Forcer's, Mr.
John Wilmot's, of Islevrorth, RIPPON and BURTON'S
PATENT STOVES. The purity of the heat given by these
Stoves, it will be seen, can only be equalled by that of the sun.
The expense for fuel does not exceed 2d. for 24 hours, during
which time the stores do not require any attention whatever.
The vines to be seen at Mr. Wilmot's are mere healthy than
any ever were before by the old method of heating. The stoves
were placed in the house on the 18th of April, and the grapes
now are being thinned out, and may be seen as above any
morning from Six to One o'clock. Price, plain, 3/.

Syphilis, with that delicacy and secrecy they have hitherto ob-
served. Thu treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-

recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, tmhappily so preva-

Mr. ESTCOURT gave notice that to-morrow he

RATING STOCK IN TRADE.

Mr. WILSON PATTEN wished to know whe-
ther the Rating Stock in Trade Bill would come on
to-night.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was anxious to
proceed with the Bill as speedily as possible, but he
feared there was no chance of its being brought for-
ward to-night or to-morrow night, but as the House
would probably s 4 on Saturday—(Cries of" No, no") it
might be brought on on that day.
Mr. GOULBURN objected to the Bill being
taken on Saturday.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the Right
Hon. Gentleman would not object to take the Bill on
Saturday, as it was of importance that the defect in the
law should be remedied as speedily as possible.
Mr. GOULBURN hoped the amendment to Pou-
lett Serope's Act would not be considered until the Bill
of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had been dis-
posed of.

PRINCE'S THE.47'RE.

Last night Mozart's noble opera of 7itus was performed
at this theatre by the German company. It may he con-
side, ed as one of their most perfect achievem..rts ; an] we
cannot but express regret that it vvas not witnessed by a
move numerous audienc... Rarely, Ind' ed, have we wit-
nessod an ol.cra with such- enure, such unalloyed pl.-a-
-ure. Madame fleinefetter has added to her fame, both
a singer and an aetress., by her persontficati•in of S,xtus.
11 rr Br, ling was the Titus. This singer is, all to or,
tr,
thing, the finest tenor of the cornparty. H .ice hasgreat
power anti . xpression; his acting is foil rf ere•gy, and
though his appearance is by no means prepossessing or
.zracteful, there is, notwithstanding. sucii c. meanness, such
feeling in what he doe. that we torgct his face and figure
even in such fences as Titus. Siaurligl ( Publius) acquit-
ted himself of the little entrusted to hint with great vigour.
11ailan.e Michalesi was the Vitellia ; she is unequcl to ;ht
