HENLEY.—ASSESSED TAXES.—A public
meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held in the
Hall, on Monday last, to petition the Chancellor of the
Exchequer for relief from the additional surcharge on the
inhabited house duty laid on the town. The Mayor took
the chair, and the meeting was most respectably attended.
A Committee of ten was appointed to draw up a memo-
rial, which has been signed by the Mayor, the Rector,
and ❑early all the rated inhabitants, male and female. The
publicans feel the greatest hardship in this case, owing to
the additional surcharges, by which some t f them will
have their licenses increased two, four, or six guineas.

Making additional charge on licenses for five inns, seven-
teen guineas.--Berkshire Chronicle.

We have to announce the death of a much
respected lady and a distinguished leader of leant ton for
some years past—Mrs. Thomas Chaplin, who died yester-
day afternoon, at her mansion in Grafton-street. This
amiable lady, who had arrived at an advanced age, was
much esteemed by a large circle of the first nobility and
gentry, and her town mansion, as well as her beauti ul
demesne, Lincolnshire, has been the scene of numerous
a
esof the beau monde. We understand, by the
her nephews, the Hon. Captain Vy-
nor and his brother (sons of the Lady Theadosia Vynor),
and a young
and amiable lady adopted by the deceased,
will come into possession of a splendid property, both in
real and personal estate. The Hon. Captain Vynor was
some months ago united to the youngest daughter of Earl
demisessena ble
of in
this
lady,
de Grey. Mrs. Chaplin was connected by birth and mar-
riage with several families of great wealth in the north of
England, and her loss will be severely felt by a numerous
class of aged objects of charity, who were wholly depen-
dant on her benevolence for support.

Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of
determining upon the question whether Mr. Scales,
who has been three times returned by a great majo-
rity of the inhabitants of the ward of Portsoken,
or Mr. Johnson, who was lately a candidate for the
gown in opposition to Mr. Scales, should be sworn
in as Alderman. A petition had been presented
from certain inhabitants of the ward, praying that
Mr. Scales should not be sworn in, and that Mr.
Johnson, being a fit and proper person,,hould.
The subject has received additional interest from the
severe struggles upon the part of the Court and
upon the part of the candidate, to whom the Court
is avowedly unfavourable, and the business of yes-
terday testified still more completely the durable.
nature of the animosity upon both.sides.
The doors of the Court having been thrown
open, the Court was crowded in an instant, and
Mr. SCALES stepped up to the table, and ad-
dressed the Lord Mayor and Aldermen in a speech
which excited no little astonishment and laughter.
He called upon the Court to perform their duty to
their fellow-citizens by swearing him in. No
What was the objection to him as a member of that
Court? Why, the-wortliy AraVeuetrsAid 'he- wet
a butcher. Upon what, he begged to know, did
they ground their pretensions to superiority ? Wss
it to the diligence with which they performed their
duties ? If idleness was the parent of all vice, he
would advise all the members of that Court to be
a little industrious or they would certainly fall into
mischief.—(Laughter.) If the public prints did
them justice he would be able to do as much as all
of them put together.—(Great laughter.) He con-
sidered the Court fallen indeed, when they respected
not the franchises of those who appointed them,
which they were bound by their oaths to respect.
What did he see around him ? Three years had he
been occupied in the useless endeavour to prevail
upon that Court to perform their duty to his con-
stituents and to him. While others were sworn in
without let or molestation he was turned adrift.
What with all his crimes upon his head ? No;
with all their crimes upon his bead.—(Laughter.)
He would put his character for trial before 12 of his
countrymen against any of the members', even
against the unpledged gentleman of Bishopsgate,
who had threatened to resign the gown if the Court
would condescend to elect the butcher.—(Loud
laughter.) But that gentleman would not resign
his gown. He would only do as the rest of the
Court would do—perhaps examine evidence to
show whether he (Mr. Scales) had skinned a cat,
or whether he had black or grey hairs in his head.
—(Laughter.) In the old course which had
marked the decrepitude of the representatives of the
citizens in the Court of Aldermen would they still
proceed; but they were mistaken if they thought
that persecution would prevail against him. Perse-
cution, in fact, suited his constitution. It kept up
his health by the energy which it excited, and it
never would tire him out.—(Laughter.) Although
he had been married six months, he had never
troubled his wife with fine words about the body to
whom her husband was indebted for so much lov-
ing kindness.—(Laughter.) He owed them much,
and he would take care to repay it.
Upon the part of the petitioners against Mr.
Scales, evidence was called by Mr. Price and Mr.
Cotton, their solicitors, to prove a continuation of
acts in testimony of Mr. Scales's unfitness for
the gown.
Alderman LUCAS had, since the last election,
gone into tne reauing-room in me vunonan, wnere
Sir Chapman Marshall, Mr. Scales, and others were
seated. He said as he entered, " How do you do
Marshall ? How do you do, Scales ?" Mr. Scales
immediately said, in a great passion, " You are a
perjured rascal—you are one of the villanous aristo-
crats. How dare you address me in that way ? I
am as much an Alderman as you."
The LORD MAYOR said, that Mr. Scales went up
to him arid told him that he was worse than
Coster—(Laughter)--and used other language of
a highly offensive nature, the offence of which was
aggravated by the circumstance that he (the Lord
Mayor) was engaged in so highly important and
serious a duty.
No Counsel appeared for Mr. Scales, his friends
having determined merely to ask the question whe-
ther or not the Court would elect him.

Strangers were then cidered to withdraw, and a'
a late hour Mr. John on was called in and sworn ii
as Alderman of the Ward of Portsoken.

The next step of this question is, we understand,
into the Court of King's Bench before a Jury.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, OCT. 30

SWINDLING.— William Creswell Wright, de-
scribed as late of Wood-street, Cheapsule, trading
under the firm of " Wright and Company," lace-
merchant, was opposed by Mr. COOKE, on the part
of a Mr. Dodson, for obtaining a considerable quan-
tity of hops under false pretences.
The debts and liabilities of the insolvent, which
commenced in 1831, amounted to upwards of
3,0001., and he had nothing whatever to give up for
the benefit of his creditors. During the greater
portion of that period he had been in partnership
with a person named William Russell, who in 1832
took the benefit of the Act. In February of the
present year the insolvent represented to the op-
posing creditor, Mr. Dodson, a brushmaker, whose
schoolfellow he had formerly been, that he had re-
ceived an order for ten pockets of hops from some
opulent brewers in the north, which he entreated
that gentleman, his father having been in the hop
trade, to enable him to execute. Mr. Dodson, on
the strength of their former intimacy, procured ten
pockets, for which he paid, and derived no profit
from the transaction. The hops were to be paid
for by the insolvent in a fortnight, and in compliance
with the order they were forwarded to Manchester
on the 11th February. On the following day Rus-
sell, of whom the insolvent had made no mention to
Mr. Dodson, proceeded to Manchester, and shortly
afterwards wrote to the insolvent to say he had sold
the goods for 78.1., and from this letter and many
others it appeared that Russell had been arrested at
that place, and conveyed to Lancaster Castle. He
strongly cautioned his " friend" to keep out of the
way, as several writs were out against him, and per-
sorts were in wait to secure him ; that he had com-
menced dealings at a new house there for cotton to
a small amount, which he was most anxious to pay,
and to get goods to the tune of 1001. The insol-
vent persisted that he was ignorant of the system
of dealing pursued by his partner, and that he had
received only a portion of the proceeds of the bop,.

The Learned CrtiEF COMMISSIONER sentenced
the insolvent to an imprisonment of one year for
contracting the debt under false pretences.
