THE LANSDOWN VILLAS, SUITED TO RESPECTABLE
OCCUPANTS, HELD FOR NINETY-NINE YEARS; THE
SITUATION IS PERFECTLY IRRESISTIBLE.

BY MR. GEORGE ROBINS, at the AUC-
TION MART, on THURSDAY, the Sth of October, at Twelve
o'clock, in four Lots.
Four exceedingly elegant villas, adapted to families not too large,
Nos. 3,4, 5, and 6,

IN KENSINGTON PARK,
AND DISTINGUISHED AS LANSDOWN-ROAD VILLAS,
in a neighbourhood that now claims (and without any mistake) to
stand higher in public estimation than anything around this great
metropolis. The four abodes will be sold in separate lots—two are.,.
most respectably occupied by solid tenants, on short leases, at eighty
guineas each, and in five years must of necessity reach 100 guineas
a-year, and there are two just completed in the same superior
style ready for occupation or investment, for a term of
near ninety-nine years, at a ground rent of only 12/. 10s.
a year each. The nature of the abodes, which have been
so feebly represented, forms a refreshing contrast to most competitors
in the vicinity of the Metropolis, they were built by Messrs. Woods
and Wheeler, the eminent builders, who have established their high
reputation by these first-rate houses. The substantiality of the
villas should be seen, to be appreciated ; it will be a lesson to the mo-
dern raee of builders, who will necessarily have to hide their dimi-
nished heads.

BOROUGH OF FINSBURY.

The revision of the list of voters for the borough o
Finsbury took place yesterday, before D. C. Moylan.
Esq., the revising barrister, in the Vice-Chancellor of
England's Court, Lincoln's Inn.

, _ ... ...
There were no objections, and but sixty-nine claims
from persons to be placed on the register, in the fifteen
parishes, liberties, and inns of court forming the borough.
Not one case of any public importance occurred during
the day. The following was the result of the revision:—
Parishes. Claims. Allowed. Disallowed.
St. Andrew, Holborn, and
St. George the Martyr 1 1 0
St. George, Bloomsbury 8 0 8
St. Giles-in-the-fields
St. James, Clerkenwell
St. Luke, Old-street ...
St. Mary, Islington 33 26 7
St. Sepulchre

Total 69 43 26 ,
On revising the lists for Clerkenwell and Islington the
Barrister complained of the omission from the list of
hundreds of Christian names, which the overseers said
was caused by the shortness of time allowed them to
make out the lists.

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1846

We cannot allow the termination of the annual
meeting of the British Association to pass without
availing ourselves of the opportunity thereby afforded
of again commenting upon the advantages such a
philosophical reunion is calculated to ensure. In our
previous allusions to this important consideration, we
took occasion to specify some few of the many tan-
gible or appreciable benefits already conferred upon
mankind directly, throughithe instrumentality, or in-
directly, through the influence of this remarkable
body. Nevertheless, its utility can in no adequate
manner be estimated from the discoveries made
under its supervision, from the theories propounded
in :its discussions, from the scientific data evolved
under its scrutiny, frOM the original and startling
treatises perused in its different sections, or from the
novel illustrations by which it has so frequently, and
sometimes so successfully, endeavoured to elucidate
andfdevelop the truths already stored in the garner-
house of knowledge. Not merely is the British Asso-
Ciation endued in its very nature with a capacity for
inciting men forward upon the tracks of civilization,
and for aiding the effirts of a previously isola:ed
philosophy ; but it is thereby promoting the still
loftier cause of morality, of religion, and of the
universal regeneration of the human species. Not
only again is it evidencing its powers for the realisa-
tion of these grand designs, by the circumstances
which are periodically revealed to the public in the
newspapers, but its ends are being yet more signally
accomplished in secrecy'and in silence. The good
resulting from the collision of thought among philo-
sophers, will not merely evince itself in the language
actually uttered in the course of their discussions and
conversations. A good will result from such colli-
sions of much more solid and intrinsic worth, though
for the moment it may appear less brilliant, or be
altogether invisible. Many trains of reasoning by
induction will be commenced during the period of
su4 Ez to be pondered upon hereafter

CERTIFICATE.

"in a series of experiments made upon Clark. Mc Niel], and Co.'s
Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta-
blished in economy and the quality of the 11,ht. Tested against
argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a
saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners,
No. 4, 49 per cent. 'Ms colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe-
rior to any other burner."

The movements of the Carlist party in Spain and else-
where appear to attract very little attention in the City.
It is a matter of conversation in many cirles, and, as our
Stock remarks will show, have had but a trifling effect
upon the quotations of Spanish Bonds.
We are without any arrivals of importance to-day.
The accounts from the continent received this morning
notice the results of the harvest operations as being upon
the whole satisfactory. The markets for grain were
on the rise in most places, and provisions were almost
everywhere scarce.
The weekly return from the Bank of England gives
the following changes, as compared with the previous
statement :

An increase in the notes issued of 104,0901., or to
29,864,960/.
An increase in the rest of 3,310 L, or to 3,867,789/.
An increase in the public deposits of 879,8811., or to
7,318,919/.
A decreas.e in the other deposits of 461,9061., or to
8,095.2031.
A d( crease in the seven days and other bills to 903,8721.
A decri-ase in the other securities of 201,7341., or to
12,321,8164
An increase in the stock of coin and bullion of
80,0211, or to 16,353,848 L
In the English Stock Market the only bargains done
to-day have been in the Three per Cents. Reduced, for
private transfer, at 964; in Consols for Money at. 95i
for the Account at 95i 96, in Exchequer-bills at 10s.
to 13s. premium, and in Bank Stock at 2101.
Spanish Consols have improved from 264 to 27k, but
the Three pf-r Cents. are lower, having just been sold
at 37k, and the Portuguese Four per Cents. at 41i.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, are at 591.
The Railway Shares and Scrips have been rather heavy
all the morning. London and Great Westerns have
receded from 101 to 991 premium. The South• Westerns
are also lower.

BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.

The revision of the list of voters for the Borough of
Marylebone commenced yesterday morning, at the Bo-
rough Court House, Marylebone-lane, before the Re-
vising Barrister, D. C. Moylan, Esq.
1 he Conservative claims and objections were supported
by Mr. Greenwood, while the Free.trade party were
represented by Mr. Ivemy—we regret we can only say
"represented, for out of the number of claims and ob-
jections made in the several districts below detailed, not
one emanated from the Liberals, all having been either
put in by the Tories, or made by the overseers, on paro-
chial or other technical grounds. -
The following is a summary of the claims and ob-
jections, as put in by the Tory party:—
Marylebone parish Objections 609 ; Claims 27
St. Pancras Objections 526; Claims 8
Paddington
Making a total of objections lodged by the Conserva-
tives against the Liberal voters, of 1,216 ; and 39 claims
for the insertion of Conservative voters on the registry.
There were a number of claims lodged by the several
overseers but as a matter of course, they bore no re-
ference to the politics of the parties objtcted to. In
Marylebone and Paddington parishes those claims
amounted to 37, with no objections, and in St. Pancras
parish, to 94, with 2 objections.
On the REVISING BAIRISTEE taking his seat on the
bench, and previous to the overseers handing in their
respective lists, he stated that it was his intention to
hold his Court by adjournment at the Vestry-room,
Gordon-square, for the revision of the lists for St. Pan-
eras parish, on Monday next, at eleven o'clock.
After the several lists had been handed in, in the usual
form, it was arranged that the objections to the list of
All Souls parish, amounting to 120, should be taken
first, all of which, with the exception of eight, Mr.
Greenwood, on the part of the Conservatives, succeeded
in establishing. None of the parties whose names were
objected to appeared in support of their claims, and thus
in the revision of the first list taken this day, the regis-
ter was reduced by the names of 112 Liberals.
Not the slightest point of importance, either legally or
as a matter of general interest, arose during the revision
of this list, which occupied the court up to the time of our
going to press.

SKETCHES of TRANSATLANTIC LIFE.
By Captain LEVINGE.

" This is one of the pleasantest books of travels we have read
for many a day —full of curious facts, vivid impressions, judicious
remarks, and well-told stories. Captain Levinee sees everything
that is to be seen, and shoots at or angles for everything that is to
be killed or caught (from a moose or salmon to a colonial beauty)
In or about the Canadas ; races through the United States, rifle, rod,
sketch-book, or note-book in hand ; tries most kinds of transatlantic
life, and seems to seize intuitively on the traits or incidents best
fitted to throw light on manners, or convey a lively impression of a
scene."—Exam'ner.

which we have had during 15 years. Foreign politics
will predominate over all other questions. An immense
task is imposed upon the illustrious man who tiirects our
Foreign DepartmPnt. We answer for it beforehand that
he will be found equal to it. With M. Guizot for her
Minister, France has not to fear any competitor at the
trtbune, nor any rivalry of reasun or of eloquence 1"
The announcement in this article, that the state of
the revenue is such as to render necessary the post •
ponement of all the projected measures of financial
reform, and the admission, by the Ministerial organ,
of the existence of a financial crisis, have produced
a feeling of uneasiness on the Bourse and a great fall
in the French funds.

The Presse is highly indignant with the English
in general, and with Lord PALMERSTON in particular,
because the Count DE MONTEMOLIN has not been
treated in England after the fashion in which he was
treated in France. Surely the personal experience of
the KING of the FRENCH ought to have taught him
that, whatever may be the custom of his own country-
men, the English, at all event, show deference and
respect to the misfortunes of fallen Princes, and are
more punctilious in according to them a reception
due to their rank when they are under a cloud, than
they are when they visit the shores of England as
sovereigns de f ieto.

The Courier du Havre announces that the Minister
of Finance has signed a contract with the Company
Herout and Handell (subject to the ratification of
the Chambers) fur the establishment of a service of
correspondence betv. een Havre and New York, by
means of four steamers furnished by the Govern-
ment.

It is said that the KING of the FRENCH has assured
Lord NORMANBY that no allusion shall be made to
the Montpensier marriage in the reply to the address
of the Corps Diplornatique on New Year's-day.

BELGIAN DUTY.

Per barrel of pickled herrings, francs, or about
Li. 6s. 10d. sterling. Per barrel of smoked herrings
,welve francs, seventy-two cents., or about 10s. 7d,

sterling.
NOTE —The above duty on British herrings, &c., has
been considerably raised of late, while the duty on
Dutch-cured herring has been greatly reduci.d. The
reason assigned is, that England " not having a treaty of
commerce with Belgium, this country cannot insist that
Belgium should not rec* ive the produce of other coun-
tries at a lower rate of duty than that of England."

PORT OF THE iIIGHLAND AND
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY ON THE DRAIN.
AGE ACT.

The following is a copy of the report by the directors
of the Highland and Agricultural Society, On the Act
9th and 10th Victoria, cap. 101, called the Drainage Act.
Che dii•ectors, it Bill be seen, are decided iii their appro-
',mien of this measure :
" this Act is a measure directly bearing on the
nterests of all the agricultural classes in the United
liingdorn, from the proprietor to the labourer ; and as it
'a believed that Vie nature of its provisions, as well as
he interpretation which it will probably receive from
,he Commissioners, are as yet but imperfectly known,
.he directors of the Highland and Agricultural Society
have considered it to he their duty to give the measure
heir best consideration, so as, to enable them to express
!..0 the society an
.opinion in regard to the advantages
.vhich it ffera.
" Ttei directors would premise by stating, that were
.his measure at present before the Legi-lature, and
therefore open to discussion as-a sabject of future po-
licy, they would hold thewselvea precluded by the rules
of the society from entertaining it ; but seeing that it is
now the law of the laud, having for its declared object
the promotion of agriculture, they consider that it legiti-
mately falls within the scope of their duty to point out
the nature and extent of its advantages, to explain the
manner in which they can be most readily realised, and
rE spectfully to offer for the consideration of Government
any suggestions, the adoption of which might give to
these advantages additional effect.
" The object of the Net, as set forth in the preamble,
are the increase of tho productiveness and value of laud
by drainage, the-employment of agricultural labour,
and the improvement of the general health of the com-
munity.
" To effect these moat useful and important purposes,
the Act authorises the issue by the Treasury, from the
Consolidated Fund, of 'two millions for Great Britain,
sinners for for ng an and Vales are nominated the Com-
missioners for carri in the Act into execution in Great
iiritain, and all applicatiens from Scotland, for advances
under the Act, must be addressed to them. • The appli-
cations are advertised in the Gazette, and in a local news-
paper ; two months are allowed to elapse, and if in that
interval any objection is stated by heritable creditors or
substitute heirs of entail, the applicant must obtain the
authority of the Court of Session, which will be a suffi-
warrant to the Cowinisaioners to entertain the appli-

tLECTION OF LORD I%IA
(THIS DAY.)
CLOSE OF THE FIFTH DAY'S POLL.

What we stated yesterday we can only repeat again
to-day—the cause of Alderman Wood and the cause of
the Livery is still in the ascendant, and no doubt can be
entertained that it will continue so until the end of the
poll.
The pall of the fifth day closed at three o'clock., and
shortly after that hour it was announced to be a 2
follows :
Mr. Alderman Wood _.
Sir G. Carroll
Mr. Alderman Hooper
Mr. Alderman Farncomb
Mr. Alderman Moon

.1248
838
~ 260

'The announcement was received with the most vehe-
ment cheering from a crowded hall, and the statement
that Alderman Moon had advanced tw) on the E 01l created
no inc,nsiderable merriment.
_ Mr. Alderman WOOD then came fonNavd to address

the Livery. He returned theta his sing tre thanks f
the position in which they had placed him on the roll,
and he was sorry, in consequence of what had appeared
in one of the most valuable of the morning journ&s,
that he should consider it necessary to occupy thrift --AT
some length. He should not hate considered it neces-
sary had he not found that that journal hrd been un-.
fairly dealt With.— (Hear, hear.) He saw in that
journal statements which had been put in at the request
of some individuals, but, with that discretion which they
had always exercised, they would not vouch for their
truth. He (Alderman Wood) denied the truth of
these Statements altogether, they were founded in
malevolence and concocted for the worst of purposes—
that of opposing an holiest man.—(Cheers.) The Hon.
Alderman concluded by stating that he felt overpowered
by the kindness that had been shown him by the Livery,
and trusting that before he met them again the question
would be settled and disposed of. He trusted that till ,
that time the Livery would suspend their judgment. He
would only say, in conclusion, that he contradicted in
the most positive terms all the statements that had been
put forth, and he challenged any one to contradict the
statement he had made.
Mr. BENNOCR then addressed the Livery. If Mr.
Alderman Wood was to be rejected because he had been
connected with a joint-stock company, he shou d like to
ask where the other Aldermen who had not passed the
chair would be placed. He considered that the election
of Lord Mayor rested with the Livery, and not with the
Court of Aldermen.—(Cheers.) If they would only
adopt measures to reform that Court, their veto would be
put an end to.
Mr. HOLT then addressed the Livery, conjuring them
to support Alderman Wood, and thereby secure their
own independence.
The Hall was then adjourned to Monday morning at
9 o'clock.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Late on Thursday evening, Mr. Carter, the coroner
for the eastern division of Surrey, held an inquest upon
the body of John Turner Truman, aged 68, a major-
general in the East India service, who had expired sud-
denly at his residence on Wimbledon-common.
The inquiry took place at the deceased gentleman's
mansion, and the jury was principally composed of the
resident gentry. Major Oliphant, one of the directors of
the East India Company, and son-in-law of the deceased,
was present.
Thomas Turner deposed that he was footman to de-
ceased, who was a widower. His master had, until
within a very recent period of his decease, enjoyed very
excellent health. On Wednesday night, about ten
o'clock, he was heard walking about his bed-room, and
groaning. This induced witness and the housemaid to
go up to the general. They found him lying on the bed,
dressed, with the exception of his coat. He appeared to
be very ill, and complained of a great pain at the chest.
He desired witness to call in Major Oliphant directly,
and witness did so. On his return he found the general
much worse, and he breathed with difficulty. Witness
then went for Mr. Fennell, the surgeon, and that gen-
tleman was in atten dance upon the deceased until within
a short period of his demise, which took place about one
o'clock that morning•. The deceased had not previously
been under medical treatment.
Mr. Edwin Fennell, the surgeon, deposed that when
he was called in he found the deceased suffering from a
very serious spasmodic pain at the chest ; he was sen-
sible ; ho breathed with difficulty. His pulse was slow,
but full and soraew'hat irregular. The state deceased
was then in did not dead witness to suppose that the pain
of body was the resu It of anything taken or of violence
done to him. Witness put the deceased's feet in warm
water, and applied a, mustard poultice over the region of
the heart. Hs rem tined with him two hours, when he
had somewhat rafitied. Shortly after his departure he
was again sent for, and on his arrival he found he was
dead. The cause sf death was disease cf the heart.
Major Oliphant • observed that the deceased had com-
plained of feeling u ,nwell a day or two previously.
The jury return Rd a verdict of died from natural
I causes induced by A disease of the heart.

PERFECTION in LAMP OIL.—A PATENT.
CLARK'S PATENT SPERM OIL, only ss. per imperial
gallon, is bright as crystal in the coldest weather, and lasts longer
than real Sperm. It burns in all descriptions of Argand Lamps. The
Kreat expense of Sperm Oil, and the trouble of common oils, can now
be dispensed wiih at pleazure. It is admirably suited for Solar
Lamps, as they will not want cleaning for years, and being so pure,
four gallons go as far as five gallons of any common oils ; so, in
reality, Clark's Patent Sperm Oil is cheapest. Families laying in
their stock of Spermaceti or Fax Candles, Soaps, &c. &c., will
positively save 30 per cent. ii their outlay. This is no fiction, and
this system of equitable charges the public will support.
Samples sent in London, and list of prices, with description of the

Morning

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1846.

Matters are jogging on with surprising quietude
at Madrid; but this very tranquillity in the Spanish
metropolis during the preliminary movements of such
an unpalatable ceremonial as that of the Gallic mar-
riage with the heir presumptive to the throne of her
Most Catholic Manny, is more ominous than the
most tumultuary blustering. It is the delusive pause
before the national tempest. Spanish blood has not
so degenerated, Spanish hearts are not so phlegmatic,
Spanish pride is not so eradicated, that their wishes
may be violated with impunity, especially after they
have been so significantly avouched. The descend-
ants of the Cin cannot permit themselves tobe bearded
to the teeth by any foreign plenipotentiary, however
plausible, without evincieg that fanatical self-exalta-
tion for which they have been during so many heroic
centuries remarkable. Self-respect still survives
in Spain, despite the mutations of autho-
rity, the vicissitudes of social organisation, and
the encroachments of a spurious regeneration.
Count DE BRESSON must not, therefore calculate upon
the infinitely protracted acquiescence of the Spanish
rElnultitude in those diplomatic machinations by which ,
--rise is endeavouring to joh together, with the matrimo-
- Axial knot, the disjuncted branches of the Bourbon
ismily, the younger and the elder. Although during
the state pageantry which, on the 25th instant con-
educted the French Ambassador into the presence of

"Queen CHRISTINA. and her two royal daughters, al-

confusion. " Lorenko the Magnificent" is a paper
which is not merely illumined by the gorgeousness
of its theme, but also by the intelligence of its contri-
butor. Immediately afterwards we are treated with
some appropriate and most graceful verses, entitled
" The Triumph of Autumn," and signed E. E. M. K.
They appear to us so redolent of this glorious October
season, that we gladly present them to the reader.
I wake, and the eastern height--flame-tipp'd height,
As an armed knight,
With cuirass and helm of sheen,
Reveals me, there in the kindling air,
'Mid armies of nodding green.
" Noon eomes, and I bind the earth—panting
With a burning girth
Of sultry sunbeams round,
Till from her sluices the vital juices
In ruddy tides abound.
4' I sigh, and the love-sick flowers—damask flowers,
• In our trysting hours,
Their sly seclusions leave,
And round me long, like a burst of song,
Delicious odours weave.
" I call, and the list'ning brooks jocund brooks,
From among the ' stooks,'
With silvery footsteps run,
To join the espousal, and rare carousal,
Of earth with her lord, the sun.
And listen! in yonder mead—waving mead,
Where the reapers speed,
About her temples twining
A chaplet new of corn-flags blue,
My love, bright Ceres, pining
" Farewell! at her feet I'll rest—haply rest,
As in heaven the blest,
Sweet Goddess mine! I swear
By all the blooming, thy grief consuming,
My kingdom thou shalt share!"
Dr. James Johnson is eulogised in a second article
appertaining to him ; but he deserved almost any
rational panegyric, so industrious were his habits, so
intelligent was his mind, so genial was his disposition,
and so honest was his whole nature. Altogether
Dolman's Magazine sustains its character among the
most valuable of the monthly publications.
