ST. MARY, ISLINGTON-

The Report of the Assessors and Auditors was yes-
terday made in this parish, particularly referred to two
charges, the one for expenses incurred in the attempt to
put down Sunday trading, and the other for a font to
St. Stephen's Church, a font to All Saints, a font to
St. James, and for baptismal registers for three churches,
the item fOr the former being 401. 7s. 2d, and the item
for the latter being 33/. 7s. 2d. The Assessor and
Auditor observed, in reference to the charges for sup
pressing Sunday trading, that although they thought by
law they were bound to allow them, yet that they were
of opinion that the expense was not judiciously incurred,
and that the sanction of the Vestry ought to have been
first obtained ; and in reference to the charge on ac-
count of the district churches, they agreed that as these
edifices were raised by voluntary subscriptions, that the
expenses for the font, &c., ought to be defrayed in the
same way, aril that, therefore, the money charged
against the parish ought not to allowed.
After some discussion the Report was in part adopted,
and the sums paid by the Churchwarden for fonts were
disallowed, and a resolution passed calling on the late
Churchwarden to repay the parish the money he had
improperly expended. A considerable discussion was
expected on this subject, but it was avoided by the
Church party giving up the point, they being too happy,
apparently, to slur over the proceeding
as quietly and
speedily as possible. The sum expended to put- down
Sunday trading was allowed, though strongly protested
against, and only allowed from an assurance given by
the same party that the expression of the Vestry's opi-
nion would prevent any such application of the funds in
future.

THE ROYAL DOCKYARDS' POLlCE.—Yes-
terday morning, at six o'clock the change in the watching
of the Royal Dockyards at Deptford and Woolwich took
place, the old constabulary being supplanted by the me-
tropolitan police. At Deptford the duty will be performed
by two inspectors (Mr. Jenkins, from the E, and Mr. Ro-
binson, from the G divisions), seven sergeants, and twenty-
nine constables. At Woolwich Mr. Feltham, of the T,
and Mr. Field, of the L divisions, have been appointed as
inspectors, with seven sergeants and thirty men under
them. When the introduction of the metropolitan police
into the Dockyards of Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Pem-
broke will take place is not yet decided upon, as it is con-
sidered it will be necessary to pass separate Acts of Par-
liament to enable Government to carry out its purpose.
FRENCH VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.—One of
the most curious portions of the extensive collection
brought home by Admiral Dumont d'Urville from his
voyage of circumnavigation is a large series of casts of
heads and busts taken flora the islanders in the Pacific.
These curious objects have been exhibited in the dock-
yard at Toulon, and are now on their way to Paris.

ALICIOUS DEER KlLLlNG.—lnformation
was received at Bow-street yesterday that on the morning
of the 6th instant, about oue o'clock, five men entered the
park of Sir T. B. Lennard, Bart., Avely, and, with dogs,
bunted and killed two deer which were left upon the-
ground. It is believed that the above act was one of
malice, and 401. reward is offered for the apprehension of
the offenders.
The British races at the beginning of the seven-
teenth century amounted scarcely to 10,000;000, and at
present they amount to .50,000,000 in both hemisphere?. It
was only at the beginning of the seventeenth century that
the first permanentßritith colony was planted in America.
In 1780, the British races there amounted to 2,000,000.
It has been calculated that, independently of fresh emigra-
tions, they double themselves about every twenty years, as
the following will show :
.

In 1780- 2,000.000
1800 4,000,000
1820 8,000,000
1840
According to this calculation, in the year 1940 these
races will amount to 567.000,000, and so on in regular pro-
gression until arrested by the chief physical checks to po.
pulation—want of food and want of space.. Work by Dr.
Verity.
WHAT'S IN A NAME ?=The inhabitants of
the village of Squankum, in Jersey, recently held a meet-
lag, and unanimously resolved to change the name to the
more mellifluous title of Williamsport. The character of
the village was believed to be injured by the name it
bore. —Philadelphia Gazette.

PULPIT _RECOLLECTIONS.
By the Rev. Sir W, DUNBAR, Bart. Smith, Elder, and
Co., London, 1841.
The spirit that breathes throughout this col-
lection of sermons cannot be too warmly ap-
proved, for it is one of unfeigned piety, simple
and unassuming in its character, and inculcating
" peace on earth and good-will towards men."
author
In the chaste eloquence of his style the
reminds us at times of Dr. Blair; and in his ser-
mon entitled " Piety manifesting its Blessings in
Old Age," we catch something of the impassioned
tone of Chalmers, but without any of that profilse
display of trope and metaphor in which the
Doctor is so prone to indulge. Sir William
Dunbar makes no attempt at abstrUse, metaphy-
sical reasoning. He does not bewilder his readers
with points of controversial or scholastic divinity,
but enforces the great leading truths of Chris-
tianity in simple and perspicuous language. His
volume appeals to the heart as well as th under-
standing; and, utterly devoid, as it is, of anything
like bigotry or sectarianism, is calculated to be
of great service in these days of religious
scepticism.

'EVA VON TROTH-2 Vow.
Thomas, London, 1840.
The period to which the principal tale in these
volumes refers, is that of the Reformation, when
the German States were distracted by civil and
religious broils, and the disputes between the
Catholics, and those who held the doctrines of
Luther, were raging with the greatest fierceness.
Duke Henry of Brunswick, who was one of the
most determined enemies of the Reformed faith,
figures conspicuously in the story, and his bold,
uncompromising character is vigorously con-
ceived, and consistently maintained. The tale
is well translated by Miss Addison from the
German of Blumephagen. Of the minor stories
in the volumes, the utmost we can say of them
is, that they are neither above nor below com-
mon-place.

'ACTICAL RULES for the MANAGEMENT
of a LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE, in the STA-
TION, on the ROAD,:andincases of ACCIDENT.
By CHARLES HUTTON GREGORY, Civil Engineer. John
Weale.

In the present stage of railway travelling three
eading considerations ought to engage the at-
tention of the civil engineer. The first, of im-
mense importance, is to seriously deliberate upon
such arrangements as may be calculated to give
the greastest amount of security to the lives of
the passengers, and to endeavour to improve
those arrangements as much as possible.
He ought not only to consider the means of af-
fording protection to the lives of the passengers
in the event of an accident, but also the means
of obviating the unfortunate delays that have
often been experienced in such cases. The third
consideration is of a more general nature, and
refers principally to the more mechanical and
purely scientific advancement of his profession,
the possibility of making improvements on the
way as well as in the mechanism of the engines,
more particularly as regards speed, consumption
and wear. Mr. Gregory's book is devoted exclu-
sively to the two first and most momentous ob-
jects, and his rules and directions, which bear
evidence of great judgment, are clearly and con-
cisely written' and they are given in the best
possible form for the use of the working engine-
man. At page 41 the author observes :
" The most essential personal qualifications of an en-
gine-man are sobriety and • steadinese, activity, presence
of mind, and unceasing watchfulness ; and whenever these
are combined with an accurate knowledge of the construc-
tion of a locomotive engine, and the principles of its ma_
nagement, they tend in no small degree towards rendering
railways what they properly are, the safest as well as the
most agreeable mode of travelling."
We hope that the work may become a hand-
book, and be well digested by every engine-
driver on the various railways. Though small in
dimensions, the matter is exceedingly compre-
hensive
and valuable, and it does great credit to
Mr. Gregory's talents and assiduity.

Then again, it has a freshness which nothing else can con,

with the, low in spirit, and will not suffer the proud to
set up their horn. It has vivacity for the young, tratr-
.quillity for the old ; it promotes a love for elegant
nature, and a taste for elegant poetry ; above all, it is
so hallowed and peaceful, that it will suffer no guilty
or tumultuous thought to pollute its vicinage, but diffuses
holiness, innocence, and cheerful virtue over everytLing

that is, in the leisure it afforded to fortify me in my resolu-
tion to forget Bertha. For two days the early morning
always found me there, and I could scarce leave it in the
late evening ; for every murmur of the water—every
flower on its margin—and, above all, the sweet freshness
of its banks, spoke, looked, and breathed of nothing but
Bertha.
