GUILDHALL.

CHURCII-RATES.—Mr. Matthew Nash, a silversmith, re-
siding at No. 3, Oxford Arms-passage, Newgate-street, ap-
peared before Mr. Alderman LUCAS, on a summon 4, at the
instance of the Churchwardens of the parish of Christ Church,
London, to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of lOs.,
being the amount due for one quarter's assessment for Church-
rates.

Mr. Dowding, the Churchwarden, having produced the
rate-books, and sworn to the as-essment, said that frequent ap-
plication had been made to Mr. Nash, who peremptorily re-
fused payment, although he was the only defaulter in the parish.
Mr. Nash said his reason for refusing the payment of the
present demand was that he considered it highly unjust, be-
cause up to the year 1831, he was never rated for more than
ss. quarterly ; however, at the time the Church required to
be repaired, and to meet the consequent expenses the rate was
doubled throughout the parish, and instead of ss. he had to
pay 10s. quarterly. He and every other parishioner (in the
same ratio) were thus rated up to the present quarter, al-
though he was sure that the extra expenses arising from
repairing the Church had been long since liquidated.
With respect to the assertion of Mr. Dowding that he (Mr.
Nash) was the only person who refused to pay, such was not
the case, for numbers of the parishioners exclaimed against
paying double the usual rate for nearly ten years on account of
the repairs of the church, and he now called upon Mr.Dowding
to show whether there was any balance due by the Church.
wardens on this account.

The Churchwarden (as we understood) said it was for the
defendant to prove that. The vestry in which the assessment
was made was an open one, and he or any other parishioner
could have attended there and opposed the rate if they consi-
dered it exorbitant.

Mr. Alderman LUCAS said that he bad looked over the rate-
books, and saw that they were signed by some of the most re-
spectable persons in the ward, and he had no doubt but the
assessment was a fair one, as the Church had undergone consi-
derable repairs. However, be that as it might, that Court was
not a place of appeal against it, and he was bound to grant a
warrant for the amount claimed. He would, however, advise
the defendant to pay the rate at once, and save himself and the
Churchwardens further trouble.

Mr. Nash said he would not object to what he considered
to be a fair rate, but as the present one was enormous, and he
was sure that the expenses of repairing the Church had been
long since liquidated, he would not voluntarily consent to pay it.
A subsequent application was made to Mr. Nash, but he still
persisted in his original determination, and a warrant was ac-
cordingly issued.

ART BEFORE NATURE.

THIS seeming paradox has been solved by the
Perukes and Head Dresses made by ROSS and SONS,
119 and 120, BISHOPSGATE-STREET, for although per-
fectly natural, they at the same time possess that elegance and
gracefulness of contour otherwise unattainable. Being made
of natural curling hair, which always looks easy and becoming,
(particularly in Ladies' and Gentlemen's Perukes), being quite
porous, and finished with their newly-invented partings, the
latter so close a resemb'ance to the skin, as to defy detection ;
they are perfectly unique.
ROSS and SONS having completed their extensive altera-
tions, "an now offer to the Public, on the Ground floor, the
most splendid apartments for Ladies' and Gentlemen's Hair
cutting and arranging; and request a visit, the first week in
every month, to inspect the fashions. An immense assortment
of Fronts, Toupees, Ringlets, Braids, &c. of the most beauti-
ful description. Ladles' own hair made into Chains, Love-
knots, or any other device required.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, May 22.
THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF NEWBURY.

This was a rule calling upon-tit 6 Corporation of New-
bury to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not
issue, commanding them to pay to their late Town
Clerk of the borough an annuity of 1071. a year, which
had been awarded to him by the Lords of her Majesty's
Treasury, as a compensation for the loss of his office by
the passing of the Municipal Corporation Act. The de-
fendants refused to obey the order of the Lords of the
Treasury, on the ground that the claimant had miscon-
ducted himself while in office.

Lord DENMAN now delivered the judgment of the
Court. His Lordship said that the power of the Lords
of the Treasury only. extended to defining what sum
would be an adequate compensation to certain persons
for the loss of their respective offices, and they had no
power to inquire into any case of alleged misconduct.
Under the circumstances of the present case the Court
were of opinion that the rule ought to be discharged.
Rule discharged.

ANEW TAILORING ESTABLISH-
MENT, on the READY MONEY PRINCIPLE,
combining MODERATE PRICES with the NERVES

opened at No. 3, FLEET-STREET, near TEMPLE-BAR.
G. EVANS respectfully begs to address himself to those
gentlemen who do not wish to pray the exorbitant prices con-
sequent on a credit trade, nor 3/et wish to have their clothes
made at such professed low prices, that it would be impossible
they could meet with an article they could wear with sa-
tisfaction, and to assure them they will avoid both these ex-
tremes, by giving him a trial. He has for many years con-
ducted a vei y large business with great success, and intends to
continue to cut out his own orders, and to supply the best gar-
ments, in every sense of the word, at the lowest possible
charge, and hopes thereby to meet with support from his
friends and the public.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

BATES V. WILLIS.
In this case, which was part heard, Mr. Knight Bruce
(with whom was Mr. Coleman) was heard in support of an
injunction formerly granted by the Court, and which was now
soimht to be dissolved.
'I rents, issues, and prOfits of certain lands had been de-
vised to the plaintiff during her life by her husband, deceased.
It appeared that it was the testator's desire that a certain por-
tion of the profits arising from the lands should be vested in
the hands of a banker, to pay off some ineumbrances on the
property ; of this vested sum the widow had drawn a part, and
on the trustees seeking to prevent her again doing so an in-
junction had been obtained by her to restrain them from pro-
hibiting the banker to honour any of her checks or drafts.
Mr. JACOB contended, at considerable length, that the trus-
tees were entitled to have the injunction dissolved, as it was
shown that the business of the farms could be carried on
without the plaintiff's raising any of the vested money, and as
some old debts still remained unpaid, though of smaller amount
than the sum in the hands of the banker.

His Howoun conceived that justice would be done to all the
partlee, by dissolving the injunction as far as related to the
cash balance.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

new trials.

12.UIVIOtTILS OP TiE DAY.

Lord Abinger is about to resign in favour of Sir
Frederick Pollock, who is to be made Chief Baron. Mr.
Cresswell is to be Attorney-General ; but serious appre-
hensions are entertained that not one half of the Tory
officials will be fit for duty, owing to the shock which
their nerves have received by the result of the elections.
Like Cromwell, they say, " We never expected to see
such a day."

At Woodstock, two days ago, two old women, one of
whom fainted away at the sight, saw a tree, which would
have required many horses to draw it from the place
where it was cut down, quietly roll up a neighbouring
hill like a huge serpent. Many of Mr. Thesiger's en-
lightened supporters have been to look at the wonder-
ful tree.

THE QUEEN V. PRICE.

This was an indictment for a libel. At the sitting of the
Court this morning the defendant applied to Mr. Justice Maule
to have the trial put off, upon the ground that some business
in which he had been lately occupied at the Sessions, pre-
vented him from making sufficient preparation fa. the defence
of the ease.

Air. Justice MAtTLE suggested that, instead of putting off
the trial, the defendant should apologise to the prosecutor, to
which suggestion, after a great deal of conversation. the def, n-
dant submitted, and apologised accordingly. Nothing trans-
pired about the particulars of the libel itself.
London, England, 1841-07-16

PUBLIC OPINION.

The Tory papers are all taken up with Lord Morpeth's
farewell speech to the electors of the West Riding of
Yorkshire. The Herald warmly declares that it is all
that such a -Speech should be ; the tender and compas-
sionate heart of the Post is quite melted with its affect-
ing eloquence ; and
.as for the Times, it sets no bounds
to its admiration of his Lordship's rhetoric ! Indeed our
Contemporary is quite hysterical on the subject. The
Noble Viscount must be greatly distressed and self-
abased by such hyperbolical approbation. To be abused
by the Tories is flattering enough to any sincere Re-
former ; but to be praised by them, is humiliating to the
last degree. We have no doubt that Lord Morpeth will
be far more annoyed by the eulogiums of the Tory
journals, than even by the loss of his election.
The Morning Chronicle justly remarks, in an
article suggested by the Times' proposal for new Co-
lonial bishoprics, that " all that is sordid and grasping
in the Church now begins to count upon its harvest-
time." The expected return of the Tories to power is,
indeed, an event full of promise for the Church, and as
full of disappointment for the people ; for ten new tax-
paid Colonial Bishops, as our Contemporary observes,
are among the least of the blessings we may look forward
to from a Peel Administration. It is evidgnt, from the
tenor of the article in the Times of Wednesday, that
Mother Church is already getting her sickle ready for
the "aPproaching harvest.

The Morning Advertiser atttibutes the result of the
elections mainly to the misconduct of the Whigs, who,
when they had the power to do good, showed themselves
wanting in the inclination. _ . .

The Dublin Evening Post has no faith in the stability
of the anticipated Peel Government, and seems to think
that there are many of the more Liberal Tories who will
refuse to march through Coventry with Sir Robert and
his ragged regiment.

—lt is the opinion of the Worcestershire Chronicle,
and other Liberal Journals in that county, that, not-
withstanding the election returns, at least three-fourths
of the people are in favour of the great remedial mea-
sures brought forward by Government.

LAW AND POLICE.

Stephen Wilson, described as house and land agent,
surveyor and valuer, of Wandsworth-road and Abchurch-
lane, appeared in the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday,
when he admitted that he had sworn on a former occa-
sion that his property was worth 3201. while it was not
worth more than 30/. " Which is the true oath ?" said
Mr. Cooke.—" The present," replied the insolvent.—The
Court remanded him for five months, and expressed a
hope that he would be tried for perjury ; that Court
would afford every facility to prosecute.

ASSAULT UPON THE PoLicE.L.Francis Blaisden, an old
bl;nd man, was charged with being drunk ; and James
M' Carthy, his leader, a sturdy-looking youth, about 17 years
of age, was charged with a most violent assault upon a
policeman.
Police Constable Whitwell, 164 B, stated that about a quar-
ter to two o'clock that morning he was on duty in Westbourne-
street, Pimlico, when he saw the defendants lying in the
middle of the road drunk. He went to endeavour to get them
on to their legs, when M'Carthy hit him, and kicked him in
such a manner as to entirely disable him : assistance, how-
ever, came up, and defendants were taken to the station-hou,e.
The policeman added, that the injuries he had received were so
severe, that he had been obliged to be bled, and the surgeon
had said it would be necessary to cup him on the ensuing day.
The excuse of both defendants was that they were drunk.
Mr. BURRELL fined the defendant Ill‘Carthy 51., or two
months' imprisonment, and the other defendant, ss.

BOW-STREET.

A " WATERFORD " FREAK.— George Dobson, a very fa-
shionably attired young man, was placed before Mr. Twyford,
charged with having wrenched the knocker from the hall-door
of AIN Dow, cf Brydges-street, Covent Garden.
It appeared that the prisoner, in company with sever:l
young men, was proceeding along Brydges street on Wednesday
evening, and on coming up to the house of Mr. Dow, bootmaker,
the prisoner walked deliberately up to the hall-door, and
wrenched off' the brass knocker. The pasty then proceeded
down the street, and called a cab, but having been seen by a
policeman, he came up and took the young man at the bar into
custody. The whole of the parties were in liquor at the time.
The prisoner said he was very sorry for what had happened.
He was in liquor at the time, and had no recollection of the
circumstances.

The MAGISTRATE referred to the Act of Parliament, and
said that he was empowered by it to inflict a penalty not ex-
ceeding hi. If these practices were allowed, he knew not how
far they might be carried, as persons in a lower grade of
life might be induced to break the knockers from doors for the
purpose of pawning or selling them, as it appeared that the
knocker in question was a valuable one. He should therefore
not pass it over, but fine the prisoner 40s.
The fine was immediately paid, and the Magistrate inti-
maled to the,prisoner that he ought to pay the amount of the
repairs that would be required for the door ; but Mr. Dow,
who appeared against the prisoner, said he should be satisfied
if he would contribute something towards the poor's-box.
This he promised to do, and the prisoner was then discharged.

the Public, for the liberal encouragement he has received since
opening the above as a Commercial Inn, has pleasure in in-
forming them he has completed painting, beautifying, and
other arrangements, no expense having been spared, flatters

already done him the favour, when he is confident they will find
him warranted, in his observations. From the very central
situation, and the Albion still continuing closed, he hopes, with
strict attention and moderate charges combined, to ensure a
good share of their patronage and support, which it will be ever
his study to deserve. Good Beds.

THE SHIPOWNERS' SOCIETY.

Our readers will see from the following letter, ad-
dressed by Messrs. G. L. Jackson and Son, shipowners,
Water-lane, to the Secretary of the Shipowners' Society,
they have withdrawn themselves from that Society in
consequence of its hostility to the measures proposed by
Government with regard to sugar, timber, and corn :
" Water-lane, May 8, 1841.
" Sir,—Our attention has been called to a copy of a
letter addressed by you on behalf of the General Ship-
owners' Society, to the Secretary of the British North
American Association, in which you intimate the readi-
ness of our Society to unite with them in concocting
measures of immediate and energetic resistance to her
Majesty's Government with regard to the proposed al-
teration of duties on the importation of sugar, timber,
and corn. •

"We cannot, therefore, refrain from expressing our
opinion that such reduction would be highly favourable,
not only to the general interests of the country, and
especially to the poorer classes, but also highly advanta-
geous, in particular, to the shipping interest ; and disap-
proving, as we do, of this act of the Committee, as inju-
rious to the interests committed to their care, and as sa-
vouring too much of political bias, we have to request
that you may consider us as no longer members of the
Shipowners' Society.
" We remain, respectfully, Sir,
" Your obedient servants,
(Signed) " G. L. JACKSON and SON.
" W. Oviatt, Esq., Secretary to the Shipowners' Society.
" P.S. As shipowners, nothing would conduce to our
interests more than so near an approach to a free-trade,
in corn and sugar especially, as the circumstances of the
country might permit."
The above, we learn, is far from being a solitary in-
stance. The conduct of the Committee of the Society has
called forth many letters of the same import from mem-
bers of the Society.—Chronicle.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We decline, for reasons which must be obvious to Mr.
Robinson himself, to publish that gentleman's letter.
Our remark, at which he is displeased, was elicited by
his letter to a Morning Contemporary. By that he at-
tacked the measures of Government intended to relieve
the people—by that ht• advocated protection—by that
he defended the Corn-laws, and made common cause
with the bands of monopolists, who are the real op-
pressors of the industrious classes to which we alluded.
We have nothing to retract, therefore nothing to apolo-
gize for ; and the insertion of the letter would only keep
an unworthy subject before the public.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

" General condemnation is a proof of general ignorance."
Sin—Though coinciding with the Correspondent of
the Times, who signs himself " a Surgeon," in his re-
marks upon the " drenching system" pursued by surgeon
apothecaries, for the purpose of putting money in their
pockets at the sacrifice of their, patient's health, I must
differ with him altogether in his desire to abolish the
sale of all patent medicines. Empirics, it is true,
gull the public by putting off worthless nostrums ; but,
at the same time, it must be acknowledged that some of
the most valuable remedies now in use are patent medi-
cines. Of these I need only mention " James's Fever
Powders" and "Feaver's Gout Embrocation." The latter
medicine, the discovery of a gentleman residing in
Friday-street, Cheapside, London, has cured me
within the last few days of an attack of highly in-
flammatory gout in the short space of a few hours, al-
though the fit had been upon me ten days, and in former
attacks I suffered from six to seven weeks, hav-
ing recourse to the usual medicines without
effect. This invaluable remedy has, to my own
knowledge, performed more wonders in the cure of
gout and rheumatism than all the recipes of the faculty
could effect. Now, would it not be monstrous to prohi-
bit the sale of a specific which has worked, ana may still
work so much good? or to refuse to the discoverer of a
remedy that confers the blessing of health upon his fellow-
men the just reward of his ingenuity.
I trust that Mr. Hawes will introduce a clause in
his Medical Reform Bill, now before Parliament, to test
the nature • and efficacy of all patent medicines, so
as to let their merits be fairly tried by competent and im-
partial judges in the public hoSpitals, and certificates per-
mitting their sale be granted where they are found de-
serving them. This would be the true mode of dis-
covering the remedies that are really beneficial ; and I
feel confident that the proprietor of " Feaver's Gout
Embrocation" would not shrink from au ordeal which
would tend more completely to establish the well-earned
reputation of his valuable discovery.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant, G. B. EVE.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which Nr some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the c: dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication must be accompanied by the "usual Consulta-
tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied en.

Lord HATHERTON said that the principle laid down
by the Noble and Learned Lord, would apply to the
advance of money by Government towards the building
of London-bridge.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord BERESIFORD presented a petition from Ber-
mondsey, also against the bridge tolls. He supported the
prayer, and thought it very desirable that the tolls should
be redeemed, if the money could be raised in any reason-
able and equitable manner.
Lord DUNCANNON said that the subject had been
referred to the Select Committee of the House of Com-
mons on Metropolitan Improvements, and until the Re-
port of that Committee was received, the Government
could not determine upon taking any course.
Lord HATHERTON presented several petitions re-
lating to Sunday traffic on canals.
Lord HADDINGTON gave notice that on the second
reading of Sir Walter Scott's Monument Bill, he would
move for the insertion of a clause to facilitate the trans-
fer of the site.

ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO-
CIETY, 1, King William-street, London.

Established 1834.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders;
three• fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
annual premiums of all those policies entitled to partici,ation.
Policies effected before the Second Wednesday in May will
entitle the holders to participate in the profits twelve months
earlier than those effected at a subsequent period.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society

Two-thirds of Profits divided annually amongst the Assured.
DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.

By the plan exclusively developed by this Society, a single
Deferred Annuity is made, nGt only to answer the same object,
but to far exceed in amount the entire benefit of all the ad-
vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle'and industrious
classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be-
nefit Societies, and Loan Banks.

1. A small yearly or weekly contribution still secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at the age of 20, will give the policy holder the fol-
lowing option. at the age of 65 ;
Annuity for remainder of life £47 16 6
Cash ... 394 11 0 or a

Policy, without further contributions, of 466 0 oat death.
Other periods of life (of 50, 55, and 60) may be also taken
with similar advantages.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
ease of premature death.
N. B. Policies, as collateral money-security, for periods of
one to five years, effected at lower rates than are charged by
any other Office, ( See Tables A. and B. ), with option of con-
tinuance for Life at the usui.l rates.
