A PARK-LIKE APPEARANCE THROUGHOUT.

The distance from Buxton and Matlock is within easy
reach, of those who may need the beneficial influence of those
waters ; but Mr. Robins Would whisper to all such, that
judging from all he has seen at Consall and its environs—the
purity of the air gives to everyone so much the appearance of
rude health, that Buxton and medical men in this vicinity
would be at a considerable discount. " Trentham Hall" is
One of the Lions of Staffordshire, and presents a 'pleasant
Morning drive. By the way, it had nearly escaped the indivi-
dual who has composed this imperfect sketch, that incen-
diarism, with all its bad and un-English feelings, is unknown
in this more civilized part of the globe. The 'tenantry are all
highly respectable, contented and happy, and what will be
additionally cheering to the fortunate possessor, they have not
required an abatement from the present moderate rental.
It should have been remarked, that the Estate is on the
Turnpike Road which leads from Birmingham, through Litch-
field, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, and Macclesfield, to Man-
chester; the Express Coach (one of the best appointed in
England) passes daily through it ; and the projected Birming-
and Liverpool Railway will not be two hours drive from
Consall. _

The neighbourhood is remarkable for its social qualities ;
and if gaiety be one of the objects in a purchaser's contempla-
tion, it will not be difficult to find it here : there arc scattered
about, within a convenient distance, some of the most impor-
tant seats within the County, including Trentham Hall, Alton
Towers, Chartley Park, Sandon Hall, and Bagot's Park, with
lots of smaller places within a very few miles of the Domain
under consideration. 'rho New Church is not quite a mile
and a half from the House.
_

It is probable the reader will, by this time, think that quite
enough has been urged to enlist his immediate attention to
this important Investment ;—to such he would rejoin, that
although he has already infinitely surpassed the ordinary ad-
vantages of the Estates brought into the Public Market,—
there arc still three points which will induce even, the sceptical
over much, to concede at once the palm of superiority to
Consall

IT IS TITRE, FREE, THE LAND TAX IS REDEEMED, AND IT IS

EXTRA PAROCHIAL.
" Where, it may in confidence be asked, can a parallel be
found?" Most certainly not in Mr. Robins's recollection—
what a solace is thus afforded to the industrious yeoman, who,
in good times, finds an almost superabundance of wealth, from
such a store of rare advantages, and in doubtful years, when
agricultural pursuits have been severely visited, these peculiar
features appear in the shape of a" God send," and restore him
again to sanguine expectations, it certainly may be said to give
an additional value to the property of not less than 20 pitr cent.
beyond most contemporaneous properties for sale.

TIM MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS,

Over an estate which is fruitful in game of all description, will
be duly estimated. There is an abundance of the best stone,
which would materially reduce the outlay of any one inf,ending
to enlarge the residence.
Possession of the house and all the land in hand (e;tomt, g4O

OPEN

acres) and the woods, may be bad, immediately on completing
the
_purchaser.
Mr. Roni 1/6riittres very confidently to suggest that the
large fundholder, if be will dispassionately read over the pre-
liminary remarks in this particular, as well as the concluding
summary of the p,;•n r erty, will think with him, that such pre-
sent and prospective beneL7
and half per cent. for his capita;is
and an immediate return of three
infinitely preferable to the
"
uncertain tenure of Three per Cents. at b.

BOW-STREET.

Jllary Jones, a decently-dressed young woman, about
30 years of age, was charged with stealing a tea-service of
plate, value 351., the property of Mr. Soffe, picture-dealer,
at the corner of Southampton-street, Strand, in whose
house she lived as servant.

_
The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Soffe about
nine months, and last Sunday annight he went out of
town, leaving her in the care of the house. On the Tues-
day following he returned home, and found the prisoner
there as usual. In about two hours after he missed her,
and she did not return, and towards night, suspecting
something wrong, he examined the apartments and missed
the valuable tea-service in question, and some other pro-
perty. He communicated his loss to the officers of police,
and Keyse, of this establishment, was employed to make
inquiries. Mr. Soffe communicated to Keyse that he had
very often seen the prisoner conversing for a long time
together with a feeble old man who kept an apple-stall near
the corner of his shop, and he thought it was not impro-
bable that there had been some previous acquaintance be-
tween them. Keyse questioned the old man, and he said
he ought to know her, for that she was his wife, but she
had absconded, and he knew not where to find her, and was
in a great fret about her. In answer to other questions he
prevaricated very much, and Keyse took him custody, and
brought him before Mr. Halls, who, however, discharged
him, and he returned to his stall. Keyse watched until
he packed up his fruit at night, and followed him to
Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane, where he was met by
the prisoner, and they went into a public-house. The offi-
cer followed, and asked if her name was Jones ? She said
it was, and Keyse asked her how long she had left Mr.
Soffe's, and she said, " Last Tuesday week." He then
told her he was an officer, and she must consider herself
in custody. She asked for what, and he said for stealing
a quantity of plate, upon which she burst into tears, and
exclaimed, "0, Sir, I know I have done it, and I must

suffer."
Mr. Sell, managing foreman to Mr. Turner, produced
the service of plate, and deposed that the prisoner pledged
it for .51., stating that she was sent by her mistress, a lady

MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday a gentleman applied to the Lord Mayor for
advice in what manner to check a most cruel practice, to
which the attention of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals did not appear to have been drawn, al-
though the interference of that Society on such an occasion
would reflect very great credit upon their humanity.
The applicant then stated that the most severe dog fights
very frequently took place in Deptford, at what was called
the Deptford Dog-pit, where vagabonds, well dressed and
ill dressed, crowded to see and bet upon the sport. A few
days ago a fight had taken place between two bitches, and
a picture of the sport might be in some degree imagine►. from
the fact that the animals were tearing each other for two
hours and a half.
The Loan MAYOR said that there was an Act of Parlia-
ment for the punishment of the offence described ; and if
such a thing as a dog-pit existed in the city of London he
should deal with those who supplied it with subjects in a
manner that would soon put a period to such brutal amuse-
ment. His Lordship added that if the Magistrates slept
upon the occasion an application to Colonel Rowan or Mr.
Mayne, as the Directors of the police, would most probably
be attended with effect. At all events, the grounds of com-
plaint would, his Lordship had no doubt, be very soon com-
municated in such a manner as would reach the ears of all
persons interested.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday Francis Ayres was brought before Messrs.
LAING and BENNETT, in the custody of Chas. Lizzars, 230,
G division, charged with having maltreated Elizabeth Chil-
cot, a young woman, in so violent a manner that her life is
placed in eminent danger.
Mr. Laing ordered that every attention should be paid
to the injured woman, and he remanded the prisoner.

MONMOUTH, JAN. 13.

The victory is ours! The Tory leviathan is defeat-
ed, and Mr. Hall is again elected. This is the greatest
victory obtained in this grand struggle for liberty. The
powQrful interest of the Houses of Ragland and Tredegar
has been vain against the voices of an honest people. So
uncertain was the victory, that Mr. Hall's friends at New-
port left the hustings with the impression that he had been
defeated ; and Mr. Protheroe addressed them from the
steps of the Westgate Inn, recommending them to retire in
peace, and bear their disappointment like men. Just at that
moment, the hustings broke down with a vast number on it,
by which accident one man was killed and a great number
seriously injured. At Monmouth and Usk, all was
conducted without an accident ; and at all places the peace
was well preserved. The friends of Mr. Hall dine toge-
ther at the King's Head to-morrow. Words cannot express
the excitement and joy of Mr. H.'s friends.

At the last moment, five honest Monmouth fellows came
up and polled, which secured our election. Had this not
been the case, we should have been beaten, which you will
see by the state of the poll. An hour before closing the
poll, we sent a dispatch to Newport, assuring our com-
mittee there, we could poll no more here. The news was
received in Newport by the Tories with great joy, of course,
and Mr. Bailey, sen., appeared on the hustings at the close
of the poll, and thanked the people for having elected his
son ; and paraded the town with flying colours—blue. But
our second messenger from the close borough here made
them all slink home terribly disappointed.
Monmouth has been a Beaufort close borough for the
last forty years.

THE ANTISEPTIC MANUAL ;

Or, the Art and Mystery of Preserving every Description of
Alimentary Substance, Animal and Vegetable, for any length
of time, for domestic use, foreign consumption, on long Voy-
ages, or in hot climates. London : Joseph Thomas, Finch-

lane. Price One Shilling.
A work indispensably necessary to all sea-Captains,
drysalters, and provision merchants ; and a most useful
one to private families. The instructions contained in
it respecting salting, pickling, and preserving are so
plain and familiar, that a mere child would understand
them ; and the directions for making sauces, different
kinds of punch, and for preserving fruits, cannot be
mistaken by any housekeeper of common intelligence.
To families in the habit of killing and preserving meat
for their own table, we know of no work more deserving
of notice.

THOMAS'S TOWN AND COUNTRY
ALMANAC FOR 1835.
J. Thomas, Finch-lane.

This is the best sheet Almanac we have seen for the
present year. The mass of useful information con-
tained in it is most extraordinary, and the arrangement
is on the best possible scale for rendering the work of
reference that of a moment. The cost, too, is literally
nothing—only three-pence. 7ihe list of town and
country bankers is admirably arranged, and very cor-
rect throughout. Let the public only look at this
sheet Almanac, and having compared it with any
published before the abolition of the stamp duties, in-
form us what might not be hoped from the public
press were it too relieved from the shackles which now
restrain its giant energies.

STRAND THEATRE.

Colonel David Crockett turns out to be not nearly so imagi-
native_ an autqbiographer as he was at first supposed. Mrs.
Waylett has presented to her audiences a practical refutation
of the calumny in the person of a real, right-earnest Indian
chief, whose name, as we cannot pronounce, we will not at-
tempt to spell, and have not time to transcribe, but whose
Rifle Shot feat of bulleting an apple held between the fingers
of a confiding friend, standing at a distance of some score of
paces off, at once astonishes cockney sportsmen, and sadly dis-
parages the memory of William Tell. Some half dozen of the
chief's own tribe appear in the what-shall-we-call-it composed
as the vehicle for displaying his dexterity as a marksman,
whose aboriginal dances and war-whoops are a serviceable
commentary upon the details of Indian manners, about
which many have read, but few have formed a just
conception. Mrs. Nesbitt is still attached to this theatre ;
the excellent acting and hilarious laughter of this lady are
enough to keep people in a good humour for a week after see-
ing her. The travestie of Manfred is very droll, very clever,
and bears the promise of continuing a favourite for some time
to come. Mitchell is acting up to the reputation he has ac.
quircd for himself, and that is saying a good deal; but what
is to be said of pretty Miss Priscilla Horton, whom we desire
to praise heartily, but for the fear of spoiling. The talents
which this young aspirant possesses are of a very superior
order, and judiciously cultivated, will raise her to an eminence
in her profession far beyond that of second favourite at the
Strand Theatre ; her imitation of Grisi is close, and her
singing really charming. Little Oxberry pirouettes and
capers about in a style alarmingly Italian. The combination
of amusements at this elegant little theatre is at present de-
servedly attractive ; the undertaking ought to prosper, and it
is prospering

HORRID MURDER.—Yesterday the head porter of Gray's
Inn-square attended at this Office to give information of a'
most horrid murder upon a child, and to ask the advice of
the magistrates under the following circumstances :--
On Tuesday night last, about seven o'clock, Ellen
Beaton, a girl, fourteen years of age, daughter of Mrs.
Beaton, the keeper of Chambers, N 0.2, Vernlam-buildings,
Gray's Inn, on passing through the passage observed a
bundle lying in a corner, on picking up which sh• immedi-
ately took it to her mother, who, on opening it, found the
body of a full-grown child, with its throat literally cut from
ear to ear, and covered with blood, it being wrapped up in
a towel and a piece of flannel. Mr. Beaton made the cir-
cumstance known to the police constables of the E divi:
sion, who took the body to St. Giles's station-house, when,
according to the directions of Mr. Rice, the inspector of
that division, they carried it to the workhouse of the united
,parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the
Martyr, and information was instantly forwarded to Thomas
Stirling, Esq., the Coroner, for an inquest to be held on
the body. The porter now applied on behalf of the benchers
of the inn to have the body of the deceased child removed
to the steward's lodge, where, it was contended, that the
body should have been originally taken. Application had
been made to the parish authorities of St. Andrew, Hol-

HAMBURG, Nov. 26, 1834
HEINE BROTHER S, Contractors for the
GREAT LOTTERY, published and drawn by authority
and under guarantee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform the
public, that the 65th Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on
the 18th of March next ; and Tickets are now selling at 108 marks
banco, or 81. The prizes are lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30,000,
1 of 20,000, 1 of 10,000, 2 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000, 7 of 2,000, 20 of
1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 103 marks, which 1,578 money
prizes are altogether stated in marks banco, and payable without any
deduction whatever; 4,000 tickets being delivered gratis to the holders
of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme, those purchasing
one ticket, at the trifling cost of 81., may obtain three prizes, and
thus, if fortune proves favourable, gain 180,000 marks banco, at
the present exchange, equal to 13,0001. sterling. Owing to the
gratis-tickets, the number of tickets en sale is a very limited one,
so that, of course, they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a
rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the
present first price of 81., are requested to direct, by one of the
first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above-named Con-
tractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 101.
note will receive an order for the balance of 21., together with
the ticket, by return of mail; on the other hand, those preferring
to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay
such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every
desirable information, being always sent with the tickets, those
giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or
tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, or stating the
mode of payment that may be more convenient to the orderer, and
giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of
the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by pur-
chasing, may depend on the strictest secrecy, as to their taking a
chalice or getting a prize ; such being the undeviating rule of the
old-established and most lucky Office.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELI.OR was engaged in hearing Appeals

to-day.
TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE MASTER OF THE ROLLS.
Mr. AGAR, in the course of some obserVations in " Green
v. Jackson," stated that the case had been very imperfectly
heard before the late Master of the Rolls ; that it was put into
the paper at a time when his Honour was anxious to get through
his causes, that he was desirous of getting rid of it, that, ill
short, he would not hear it, and disposed of it without consi-
deration.

--------
Sir WILLIAM HORNE, contra, denied these allegations.

The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Agar has been making an
unjust imputation upon the memory of that Learned Judge,
which he ought not to have made. I have no doubt that the
Master of the Rolls considered that in what he did he was
faithfully discharging his duty. I see from what took place,
that the case must have been fully and properly heard, and it
is an imputation which you ought not to make to say, that he
was desirous of getting rid of it, and did not properly hear
it. I have no doubt whatever, he acted on that, as on all
occasions, most conscientiously, and to the best of his judg-
ment. Further, there scarcely ever was a judge on the
Llpich, who was more competent to deal properly and satisfac-
torily ,;.ith the matters that came before him than that Learned
Judge...4l,e late Master of the Roth. What you have been
nothing to do with what I am to decide,
stating, therefore,
it was only an imputatiot: that ought not to have been made,
and now let us go if you pleb se to the merits of the question
you raise before me.

MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

THE Committee for conducting the ELECTION
of Mr. HUME urgently request the Electors to lose no
time in polling. The Tory Opponent, backed by Wealth and
Power, is straining every nerve to bring up his forte early, to
make an imposing show. The Friends of Reform and Freedom
must be alive, and lose not a moment, to ensure the cause of
Reform in the County, after the noble emunple of the City and
Metropolitan Boroughs.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
I send you, this post, a copy of this day's vening Post,
containing an account of the proceedings at our election yes-
terday—also an account of a duel, this day, between the Lord
Mayor ( Alderman Perrin) and Mr. Ruthven, ex-M.P. In
addition to the particulars stated, I have to acquaint you that
the Lord Mayor, to enable him to require satisfaction of Mr.
Ruthven, for the expressions made use of by him yesterday in
addressing the electors, formally resigned his office, and ap-
pointed Sir J. K. James his locum tenens. The Alderman sent
for his friend, Capt. Cottingham (the Secretary of the Con-
servative Society), to demand either a retractation or apology
from Mr. Ruthven, who declined either, and named Ebenezer
Jacob, Esq. (ex-M.P. for Dungarvan) as his friend. The
result !was, as stated—" a meeting." However, the Evening
Post does not go the full length—one of the Alderman's balls
having passed through Mr. Ruthven's hat. On the second
shot being fired, Capt. C. advanced to Mr. Jacob, and again
required an apology, with equal success. Mr. J. replied, he
and his friend came to the ground to fight, not to apologize,
and they were ready to remain as long as their opponents
pleased ; whereon Capt. C. returned to the Lord Mayor, and
after a consultation, their party left the ground. Thus this
bloodless affair ended.
Mr. Ruthven wore his hat at the Court-house, and the nar-
row escape he had was the general subjoct all day. This cir-
cumstance will be of material service to the Liberal interest,
and tend much to turn the election. The majority this day
must not be looked on as decisive. The Conservatives have
made tremendous exertions, while their opponents have Ind
every difficulty thrown in the way—administering the bribc.y
oath, tic.c., coupled with a scarcity of magistrates.
To-morrow you shall have a further account. I'll keep this
open to the latest second, to send the poll as declared by the
Sheriff. I hope to be in time for the post.

In consequence of a placard, generally circulated yesterday
through town, bearing the signature of Arthur Perrin and
others, alleging that Mr. Ruthven was incapable of qualifying
as sitting Member for the City of Dublin in case of his return,
Mr. Ruthven, when addressing the electors yesterday, con-
tradicted the statement of the placard in terms of the " strongest

SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE ELECTION.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. )
This day 0, 'cdnesday) the two candidates, Sir John Mor-
daunt (Tory), and E. Sheldon, Esq. ( Whig), with a large
party of the most influential gentlemen and freeholders of the
southern division of Warwickshire, assembled at the County-
hall, where a spacious platform was erected for the speakers.
About eleven o'clock, after the King's 'proclamation had been
read for the return of two knights to serve in Parliament, and
the statute against bribery and corruption, the Hon. Charles
Bertie Percy proposed Sir John Mordaunt as a fit and proper
person to represent them in Parliament.—( Cheers from the
Tories, but hisses and groans from the Reformers.) This no-
mination was seconded by William Dickins, Esq. (of Chering-
ton), who endeavoured with great emphasis to set forth the
claims of the worthy Baronet to their support.—(Considerable
disapprobation.)
Edward Bolton King, Esq., Member for the Borough, next
proposed Edward Sheldon, Esq., of Brailes. The Hon.
Member being well acquainted with the character of Mr. Shel-
don, spoke in the most unequivocal terms of his qualifications,
and the assembled multitude, which consisted of not less than
5,000 persons, made the spacious hall to reverberate with their
applause. This nomination was seconded by Major West, of
Foxcote, in a very appropriate address.
After they had been declared duly elected, Sir John first
returned thanks, and stated that his principles were embodied
in Peel's Manifesto, addressed to his constituents at Tamworth.
So much for Sir John 1

Mr. Sheldon then came forward, and in an open, manly, and
candid speech, declared the purposes of his mind. Although
he would not pledge himself at present to support the ballot,
he fully convinced the liberal electors that he would act in
unison with their sentiments on all questions of vital importance
in the present state of public affairs. No other candidate being
proposed, Sir John and Mr. Sheldon were chaired through the
principle streets of the town, and afterwards retired—one to
the Warwick Arms, and the other to the Swan Hotel.
London, England, 1835-01-15

retirement to the furtherance of the national weal :

is because they foreknow that as much injury to the
country will inevitably follow from Ultra Toryism as
from Ultra Radicalism, that they have reluctantly
consented to mix in the burly-burly of political war-
fare. But this the Tories, in their perverse desire to
obtain power, cannot or will not see. Do they

think that the gentlemen who so unquestionably
represent the wealth, influence, and lofty independence
of the English people, are not equally qualified to exer-
cise legislatorial functions as the KNATCHBULLS,
and TWISSES, and HALCOMBES, whose chief preten-
sions are to be found in back-bone out-and-out Toryism
alone ? But, alas I these Reforming associates, we
are told, though men of undoubted influence and cha-
racter, are lacking sound judgment in their present
interference ; their reason is warped in error; they
may not be trusted, forsooth, for that they are steeped
to their lips in a great political mistake. Good GOD !
Is it likely that any class of men can more soundly or
dispassionately judge between this and that, than those
whose minds are wholly and altogether unbiassed by
political hopes, struggles, and ambition—can more im-
partially, more wisely, less factiously, examine
into, determine upon, and execute measures con-
sonant with the just wants of the people—
can more clearly understand, or more faith-
fully perform ? They have nothing to gain, and all
to lose—domestic quiet exchanged for turbulent debate
and troublous occupation : the peaceful relaxation from
business bartered for painful anxieties and disturbed
rest : private calm and almost princely magnificence
relinquished for harassing duties and public worry.
Persons of no party, they abandon, under the influ-
ence of a patriotic compulsion, their hitherto uniform
neutrality; and take part with the people in extinguish-
ing a hated and oppressing faction, which has no ob-
ject but that of perpetuating their own intolerable do-
mination. What greater warranty have the Tories to
offer for good Government and the repression of de-
, structivism, than such men's names, intelligence, and

CORONERS' INQUEOT§.

CORONER'S INQUEST ON MR. JUSTICE TAUPTON.
Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, Mr. Stirling rho
coroner, and a highly respectable jury, assembled at Nee., 28,
Russell-square, for the purpose of taking an inquisition:ow the
body of Sir William Elias Taunton, Knight, late one of the
Justices of the King's Bench, and Recorder of Oxford, who
died suddenly at the above house on Sunday night last.
Frederick Salmon, of No. 12, Old Broad-street, in the City
of London, surgeon, stated, that he had been in the habit f
attending the late Sir William Taunton professionally foor
many years past, and was connected with his family by mar-
riage. The state of the deceased's health was latterly re-
markably good, much better than it had been two years
ago. Witness and his wife dined with the deceased and
his family on Sunday. Sir William was then in excellent
health, apparently very cheerful, and amusing himself
with his children. He had taken a protracted walk that
day of between two and three hours' duration, accompanied
by his eldest son, and on returning he remarked to witness
how little helelt fatigued, and seemed to feel pleased that his
strength had not failed him, and that he felt so well after
such unusual exertion. Witness remained with the deceased
during the evening, and then left to return home. About half
past 11 witness received a message to attend immediately at
Russell-square. He accordingly proceeded there without a Mo"
meet's delay, and found Sir William supported in bed in a half-
erect position, quite dead. Witness had subsequently made $
post mortem examination of the body, and found the heart
much affected. There was a thickening of the substance of
the heart, together with ossification of the valves of the heart,
as likewise ossification of the vessels of the brain, with exten-
sive effusion of water on the brain, which latter circumstance
was the immediate and decided cause of death, and proceeded
from existing disease of the heart. Witness could not have
rendered any available assistance had he been present whert•the
deceased was first attacked. His death must have been wearl9
instantaneous. Witness had never any reason to suppose Ass,
el
the deceased would ever have been subject to the disease
which he died.
Mr. .Salmon then addressed the Coroner, and said that he
had read in one of the newspapers an account of this melan-
choly event, in which it stated that Sir William had enter'
tamed a large dinner party on the Sunday afternoon. This
was not the fact, as only himself, his wife, and sister were
present, and he thought it but due to the memory of the
Judge, who was a strict observer of his religious duties,
th
the report in question should be contradicted.
The CORONER said he had no doubt but that the press would
act as became them on the occasion.
The Jury, after viewing the body, returned the following
verdict ,—That Sir William Elias Taunton, Knight, died hi
the visitation of God, and not otherwise."

CITY, 'TWELVE O'CLOCK,
From the St. John's New Brunswick papers to the 23d N°'
vember, received at the North and South American Coffee"
house :

" GENERAL ELECTIONS.
" Our readers will perceive, by the proclamations from Neel
Quarters, that his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor has 81'
length been advised to dissolve the General Assembly, and to
issue writs for the election of the new House, returnable 03
the sth January next. It is generally thought that this
portant step has long been in contemplation, but has been de-
layed until the arrival of the bill for increasing the represent**
tion of certain counties with the Royal assent. The reason,.
therefore, for the delay, was quite sufficient ; but the arrival of
that bill was so late in the season, thatit is much to be regretted
that a general election was determined upon at this late period
of the year."

INSOLVENT COURT.-MONDAY.

John Escudier, late of Escudier's Hotel, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly, applied upon his petition to be discharged.
He was opposed in_person by a creditor named Fortescue,
and supported by Mr. Cooke.
The insolvent was never proprietor of Escudier's Hotel.
The property belonged to trustees of his wife ; he quitted
the hotel two years ago, and since then he had been in the
Fleet and King's Bench Prisons. He had some part of the
time resided in the rules. He had since he had filed his
schedule obtained a dispensation from the Court on the
ground of severe indisposition. He was questioned at some
length by the Learned Chief Commissioner. It appeared
that be was a bankrupt in 1832, and obtained his certificate
in the following year. He was discharged as an insolvent
debtor in June, 1829.
The Learned COMMISSIONER told him he was fortunate
in not being opposed. He was experienced both in bank-
ruptcy and insolvency, and he advised bim to take care what
he was about. He might not, if he again came there, be
so lucky.
The insolvent was discharged.

Rosanna Saunders, described as a widow, was opposed in
person by a creditor named Koe. The insolvent, who stated
herself to be sister to the Countess of Waldeg-rave, was
examined relative to an annuity of '2OOl. a year which she
enjoyed for sixteen years, from the late Earl, who died in
July last. The annuity was merely a gift, and not one to
which she had any claim. The Earl had not mentioned her
in his will, and the cessation of the annuity had occasioned
her insolvency.
A gentleman from the house of Jones and Bateman, of
Lincoln's Inn, proved that the insolvent wa§ not entitled to
any property from the deceased Earl.
The Court, after some discussion, ordered the insolvent
to be discharged.
