The Bedford estate owes 13,1541. The

Brewers' estate is in debt to the extent of 3,700/., and the
rate for 1832 was 6011., being Is. Bd. in the pound. On
the Calthorpe estate the debt chargeable on the rates is
5,7001., and the rate about Is. in the pound for houses
not fronting Gray's Inn-road, and I Id. for those fronting
that road. On the Doughty estate the debt is 4,2321.,
but in consequence of a diminution in the value of the
property, and a depreciation of the rents, a new assessment
has been made, which will reduce the income—the
rate is Is. 10d. in the pound. On the Foundling estate
the debt is 22.4761., and the rates for paving, watering,
and ornamental rails, amounts to 2s. sd. in the pound
The Harrison estate owes 9,0001., and the rate is 2s. in the
pound. In Kentish-town the debt is 8001., and the rates
for 1832 were 10 I. in the pound. On the Lucas estate
the debt is 4,1001., and the rate is. Bd. in the pound.
The Mansfield-place trust owes 2,040/., and the tate is
Is. 6d. The Skinners' estate owes 14,400/., and therate
is 29. 5d., but it may he diminished when some annuities
fall in in 1838. In Somers-town the debt is 17,020/., and
the rare is Is. 6d. In Southampton trust the debt, by bond
and annuity, is 4,4381., and the rate is Is. 6d. In the
south-western district the debt is 12,0001., and the rate
is I. 4d. ; and in the Union estates the debt is 4,0501.,
and the rate Is. It is remarkable that although the total
amount of debt is near 128,000/. very small provision
seems to have been made for the payment of that part of
it which is on bond. The annuities will drop as a matter
of course.

By the last advices, the price of gold at
Hamburg is 4374 per mark, which at the English Mint
price of Si. 17s. 101,1. per oz. for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13. 118, and the exchange from Hamburg
on London at short being 13. 91, it follows that gold is
27-32 per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in London.

The premium on gold at Paris is 151 per
mille, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10p.
per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 51.,
and the exchange from Paris on London at short being
25. 45., it follows that gold is 1/3 per cent. dearer at
Paris than in London.

We are assured that the sale of Beaudesert,
the magnificent seat of the Marquis of Anglesea, in Staf-
fordshire, as stated in several papers, has never for one
moment been contemplated. Indeed, that domain was so
settled by his father, the late Earl of Uxbridge, as to render
its alienation impracticable.

LEGAL QUIBBLING. —At the Revising
Barristers' Court, 'Warwick, on Tuesday, a partner in one
of the provincial banks claimed to have his name inserted
i❑ the list of voters. He had paid up his rates, and com-
plied with every substantive provision of the Act ; but
he was rejected, becau.e, although he had paid his rates,
there was no evidence to show that he way rated.

THE CLASSICAL Fox HOUNDS.—On
Wednesday last, on strolling over the late domicile of the
lion Mr. Mort-ton's fox hounds, close to this town, we
were much surprised on discovering 27 rat skins out-
stretched to their fullest extent on the portals of the said
canine mansion, and underneath the following verses, pre-
ceded with that now well known mt,d,-rn classical couplet—
" Him as prigs what isn't is'n,
When he's cotcht may go to pris'n."
Them hides above—exposed to view,
Once kivvered a very priggish crew,
Who daily came--intent to steal
Our savery meat and barley meal :
Had tney confined themselves to honest bounds,
They had never fell a prey to—Moreton's Hounds.

The following gentlemen have been added

cester :

It seems to be the notion of our statesmen to
avoid a danger by letting it alone. They talk of arresting
revolution, while the revolution is left in progress. Not,
indeed, a revolution of forte and blood, such as they con•
ceive—imagining the possibility of none other ; but the
gradually casting off the old skin and putting on the new;
the silent change of opinion, which is inward, moving with
a force accelerated by the resistance offered by these cob-
bling statesmen. Our timid politicians have raised up the
bugbear of caution, until their visio❑ in obscured by its
presence—they see nothing else. Does a sailor who dis.
cerns the coming storm, talk, therefore, of the necessity of
doing nothing, lest harm may come ? Does the surgeon
think only of the death which may ensue from failure ?
Caution dictating doing what is right, is indeed wisdom ;
but the caution which consists in doing nothing, is cowar-
dice and imbecility.— Westminster Review.

IMPROVEMENTS AT HOLBORN-HILL.--
The long-contemplated and much-for-desired alteration at
Holborn hill is at last likely to be carri.d into effect.
The present danger attending both foot passengers and
carriages has increased to such an alarming extent, on
account of the great extra traffic occasioned by the addi-
tion of cabs and omnibuses, that the accid'nts that so
frequently occur are alarming in the extreme both to man
and beast. The great objection to the numerous plans
heretofore submitted for this great public improvement,
viz., the destruction of the trade to the inhabitants of
Holborn hill, is entirely removed by the novel and inge-
nious plan compiled from the designs of Mr. Burnard and
Mr. Geaty, architects, which proposes to take down the
houses from the corner of Bartlett's-buildings, Holborn,
to Seacoal-lane, Skinner•street, or on the opposite side
from Flaton-garden to the top of Snow-hil, and erect a
level terrace on brick arches between those points, the
present houses to be taken down and set back about fifty
feet, or in a line of St. Andrew's Church, and the arches
under the terrace to be fitted up as shops in Holborn-hill,
with a handsome ballustrade at top. An ornamental arch
to be turned over Farringdon street, on the principle of
Highgate Tunnel, thus forming a grand and commo•
dious level thoroughfare, without at all interfering with
Holborn-hill. We know of no public improvement so
much called for, and so likely to remunerate the parties
who embark in the same, by the annual returns arising
from the toll and ground rents.

CURIOUS CONFLICT. A correspondent
says—a short time since, a bold and bungry rat, in search
of a dinner, espied a game cock in the outhouse of a re-
spectable tradesmen at Stroud, G oucestershire, and im-
mediately commenced a vieorous attack upon it. Chanti-
cleer, though taken by surprise, defended himself bravely,
Ind for a time the result appeared rather doubtful. In
the second round the marauder had the worst of it, and
fi st blood was proclaimed by his opponent in a trium-
phant crowing at the very top of his lungs. Still the rat,
in the most dauntless manner, renewed the fight, but after
a protracted struggle was rendered hors de combat by a
severe wound in the head from the spur of his antagonist.
—Monmouthshire Merlin.

REPORTED DELIBERATE MURDER BY A
S OLDIE.K. —The barracks in this town, where a detach-
ment of the 35th Reeiment of Foot has been for some time
domiciled, are reported to have been the scene of a similar
dreadful murder to that which WdS, about six months
ago, perpetrated in those at Manchester by a soldier of the
85th Regiment, who was executed for the crime at the
close of the Lancaster assizs. As far as we have been
enabled to ascertain, it appears that a private eoldier,
n lined John Wilson, was on Thursday night ordered to
the guard-house, for intoxication, preparatory to being
tried on the charge by a courtmartial. He remained there
under confinement until about 11 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing, when the men were assembled on parade in the
oarrack•yard, and then, having obtained possession of a
loaded musket, he came to the door, and, t Acing deliberate
Aim at the party, pulled the trigger, and the piece exploded.
Che ball first passed through tile cross belt and abdomen
of another private soldier, named Edward Martin, struck
the hand of a second, and afterwards shattered a musket
in the hand of a third private. The best surgical assist-
ince was promptly procured for the sufferers by his blind,
intemperate rage ; but we regret to say Martin died of the
wound that he had received, within one hour and
.a half
of its infliction. The second soldier is probably disabled
rbr life. The culprit, we understand, was immediately
given into the custody of the civil power...—Bollon Citron.
