UNION-HALL:

A well-dressed man, named Wright, who wore
a cloak, was charged with stealing a great-coat on&
of a chaise which was waiting at a gentleman's door
at Camberwell.

It appeared that the prisoner, observing the chaise
at the door of a house belonging to Mr. Walkers.
walked up to the parlour window and looked
through, and not perceiving any person within, he
went to the 'chaise, and taking the great-coat out,
placed it under his cloak and walked away as if no-
thing had happened. Mrs. Walker, however, hsving
witnessed the transaction from another room, ran
out at the impulse of the moment, and seizing the
prisoner by the back part of the cloak, pulled the
garment, which was fastened round hia throat with
a buckle, with such force as nearly to throttle
She did not let go her hold until she had. him:
sprawling along the ground on his back, upon, which
he sung out must lustily, and sai i that he resigned
all claim to the coat, which dropped from under h,.
cloak. Mis. Walker, however, held him tightly art-
tit a policeman came up, into whose custody she
give him, and he was taken to the statioti-...iouse.

The prisoner was committed, and Mrs. Walker
was complimented for the dexterity she exhibited u►
preventing the escape of the thief.

BISHOPRIC OF HEREFORD.--The Rev.
IgAAC HUNTINCFORD, D.D , hlishop of ITEREpotto and
Warden of Winchtstsfr College, expired at an advanced
age on Sunday last, a'ter having held the above See, to
which he was presented by Loud SIDDIOUTH, upwards of
SO years. The Premier's brother, the present Dean of
Hereford, will, it is supposed, be promoted to the vacant
See. Several persons are mentioned as likely to succeed
to the Wardenship of Winchester; among others Dr.
WILLIAMS, the present Head Master of WiLchester school
Archdeacon CLARKE, and the Rev. W. BARTER..

ST. ALBAN'S ABBEY.—Some time sinca
part of the south wall of the great nave of this venerable
fabric fell in upon the roof of the side aisle, through which
t broke. The parochial authorities immediately called
is the assistance of a competent architect, and convened
a meeting of the parish, by which the architect was
directed to make a report of the repairs necessary for the
preservation of the fabric, and the estimated expense. The
report has been made,:' and estimates the expense at
14,000/. The Abbey is but a parish church, for whicl;
purpose a very small p irt of it is only used, and the funds,
of the parish are wholly inadequate to uphold so vast at;
edifice ; and the parishioners have determined to appeal to
he liberality of the nation, to preserve from ruin this
venerable edifice, so interesting to every lover of the his-
tory and antiquities of this country. A public meeting irk
to be held for the purpose, at which Loid VERULAM
preside. The Bishop of LONDON has written a later tO
the Rev. Mr. SMALL, the Rector of St. Alban's, express-,
log his desire for the preservation of the ancient edifice,
and inclesing a donation of 2001.—Essex Herald.
POWER OF CORRUPTION.—A Member for
an ea-tern county, at present on the Opposition side, is
taking every precautionary step to secure his return when
the Bill shad have passed. In a village in that county
there are a good number who will obtain votes when that
ion;-looked for period shall arrive. He tried to eain
heir good wishes in the first place by sending them the
resent of a hare each. This was too specious a plan,
toil besides the lowest one who had a vote was by this means
pot on an equal footing with the highe.t. Aware of
he altered his plan, and invited one of the mos, in-
fluential of the reformers to breakfAst. This bait. took, and
now he is one of his warmest supporters. Tie procuring
situation for the son of another has proved quite r•ta-
cient to change the principles of the tattier. We trust
t ese are the only two persons in the village Who „,„ d
ea Tifice their con-istency for the kind word or paltry I,riha

* 'ion of the late Reform Meeting, Charles
bi puke of Bordiaux took a country excursion on
44°, Duchess d'Angouleme had a fine view of
Auld Reekie's citizens en nussae from an upper window
the Palace.
After Sir Thomas Lauder left the hustings, and had
entered his carriage, the people disengaged the horses and
pulled him up the Canongate, along the North Bridge,
Prince's-street, &c. It passed Mr. J. A. Murray's house,
the Chairman of the meeting. A young son of his ap-
peared at the window, waving a little flag, with the motto
" Reform," and the cheers of the multitude, on seeing this
juvenile display of patriotic feeling, were absolutely deafen-
ing. When the procession reached Moray-place, the dif-
ferent bodies drew tip in front of the Lord Provost's house,
and on his Lordship making his appearance, they saluted
him with three cheers.
Mr. SERGEANT then addressed his Lordship to the fol-
lowing effect:—
" My Lord, we have come here for the purpose of re-
turning you our warm acknowledgments for the very
handsome manner in which you were pleased, as Chief
Magistrate of the city, to give your sanction to the pro-
cession which has taken place this day. We are quite
aware that your Lordship's political sentiments differ from
ours; but that circumstance does nor, and never shall,
prevent us from paying all deference and respect to the
constituted authority of the land, and to rank and station
every where, whatever the political biases may be with
which they are accompanied."
To this his Lordship replied nearly as follows :
" Gentlemen, I beg you will accept of my thanks for
this mark of your approbation. When I was asked, as
eisief Magistrate of the city, to give my sanction to the
procession which has taken place to-day, I had great plea-
sure in cheerfully complying with the request, beimg per-
fectly satisfied that the peace of the city could not be in-
trnsted to better hands than those of the working classes.
It is true that my political sentiments differ from yours,
hut this is a free country, where every man has not only
an undisputed right to entertain, but also to give expres-
sion to, his political opinions, whatever those may be. 1 hope
the measure which you have been this day discussing will
realize all your exi ectations; and in again returning you
thanks for this marked token of your approbation, I have
only to add, that I hope you will all return peaceably to
your homes." These remarks were received with tremen-
dous cheering, and waving of hats and handkerchiefs by
the procession, and the dense crowd which accompanied it.
In passing the Lord Advocate's, in Moray-place, they
again halted, and gave three cheers. Previous to break-
ing up, the various parties of which it was composed sent
each one of its members to return thanks to each other.
The individual sent by the sons of Ireland, of whom four
or five hundred marched under their banner, on attempt-
ing to speak, was almost overpowered by his feelings, as
he said,—" Gentlemen, I feel, and all my countrymen
present feel, from the inmost recesses of our hearts, your
kindness to us this day. Noble citizens of Edinburgh,
you have treated us as freemen and fellow-citizens; no
insult has been offered to us; while in our country, in
all processions we have met with nothing but indignity
from certain el issea of our fellow-countrymen ; and, if
not prevented by the police and soldiers, we were sur-
rounded and escorted by them like felons, and made to
feel we were a degraded race. We again thank you,
noble Scotsmen." One division returned by the Mound,
and having reached the Cross, the band played " God
save the King," the whole company uncovered. The
evening was spent in a happy manner by the tradesmen,
who met in parties to congratulate each other on the
events of the day; and, allowing that only sixpence for
refreshments was spent by each person who attended the
meeting, somewhere about 1 5001. would go into circu-
lation. As a proof that the city was even more peaceably
disposed than en ordinary occasion., not one case of riot
or assault came before the police next morning. By
half- past six o'clock, the whole procession had separated ;
and by eight at night the city presented its usual appear
ance.—Scotsman.

We are assured that there never have been
obstacles opposed by the subordinates of the English Post
Office to the establishment of a daily estafet communi
cation with Paris, and we give lull credit to the assertion
on account of the respectability of the source through
which it has reached us. That impediments, however
have been thrown in the way of such an arrangement by
the subordinates of the French Post Office, under the in-
fluence of a few stock•jobbers, and others, who are
anxious to keep the public in ignorance during two days
out of the six, we know to be the fact ; and we are aim-
ni,,hed that the French, who pretend to have their Go-
vernment bureaux under good regulations, should so long
have submitted to an abuse so injurious to the mercantile
;a terest.— Courier.

FAILURE IN HIGII LIFE.—We understand
that several tradesmen will be considerable losers by the
failure of Mr. WATSON TAYLOR, at the West End. He
occup ed a princely mansion at the corner of Harley. street.
It occupied the artists and workmen upwards of four years
in the embellishment alone, and hundreds of thousands
were expended. His cliatelit at Eristoke likewise cost
him an immense sum of money. On Monday the superb
farniture was removed in waggons from the town mansion
;n Grafton-street, by the order of Mr. WATSON' TAYLOR'S
solicitors, who put in tl,e first execution for four thousand
and sixty pounds ; and Messrs. MILES, of Bristol, did the
same thing, on the same day, at Eristoke Park for thirty
thous ind pounds. the first process was for four thousand
sand sixty pounds, the second for fourteen thousand five
hundred pounds, the third for twenty-five thousand pounds.
'The service of plate, which was first used in Cavendish-
isquare fblr. Ta vao a's former residence), when the late
'KING anti the Duke of YORK dined there, elicited much
admiration It «as the most massive and the richest in
scrip ure in the kingdom-. So extravagant were the ideas
formed of ti.e riches of Mr. TAYLOR, that his income was
said to exceed half a million sterling.—Morn. Chronicle.
It is understood that Ministers have it in
contemplatian, as one of their measures of economical Re-
form, either to reduce the salaries of our Consuls abroad,
and allow tham, by way of recompense, to trade as mer-
chants, or to fill up those official appointments by indivi-
duals all eadv engaged in c ,mmerce. That this will effect
a very considerable saving to the country, is not to be de-
i;ied ; but it is a matter about which much difference of
opinion exists, whether there may net be disadvantages at-
tending the course proposed which will more than coun-
terbalance that saving. It is contended fur example, that
merchants filling the post of Consul will be regirded with
jealousy by other merchants residing at the same place,
inasmuch as they will often obtain, by virtue of their office,
the preference in consignments, and many other advantages
over them ; and also, that the dignity of the office will
suffer by devolving on a man who is not wholly indepen-
dent, In reply to these objections, it is readily admitted,
that a merchant who acts as Consul may, and indeed
;mist, improve his connexions by it ; but it is n of there-
fore by any means admitted that the practice is ob-
jectionable, since he must previously have b, en of re-
spectatile standing as a merchant to entitle him to the
ssppointment, and the increase of business which it brings
s taut a fair return for the additional trouble thereby cre-
ated, Besides which, it is remarked, the selection of a
merchant to act as Consul does at least insure his having
some knowledge of the business to be performed, which.
under the old system was very seldom the case. With-
out pointing to particular instances, all merchants engaged
in extensive business will have sufficiently within their re-
collection the inconveniences which have been created
through the selection as Consuls of younger sons of noble
families, Ministerial hangers-on, half pay officers of the
army and navy, and other persons, who, being wholly
ignorant of commercial usage, were incompetent to a de-
is;on in any case of the slightest difficulty, not to mention
that the thus making provision for those persons out of the
public purse entailed an expense three or four times greater
than was absolutely necessary. The practice of foreign
countries has also been adduced in favour of the course pro-
posed, who almost wholly either employ merchants as con-
suls, or lay no restriction on their engaging in trade. That
objection which regards the dignity of office is hardly-
thought worthy of a reply, for, in the feneral estimation,
no character can stand higher than that of the well-con-
nected and intelligent merchant ; and those who main-
tain, therefore, that merchants ought to be consuls, will
;lot waste time in the comparison with the place-hunter
and needy dependent on the Ministry of the day. On the
whole, the arguments in favour of the proposed Reform
must be allowed to preponderate, referring only to that
class whose interests it is calculated to affect ; but it is
to
be remarked further, that even the advocates for the conti-
nuance of the old system do not all maintain that the
country ought to continue to be saddled with the expense
incurred for our foreign consulates, hut suggest that a
duty of Sd. or 9,/. per ton on the shipping, with mode-
rate salaries, as allowed before the late abuses sprung up
in this branch of Ministerial patronage, would place this
establishment on the fair and respectab:e footing suited to
their views. Still it may lie doubted whether,in the pre-
sent low rate of profits, such a tax would be submitted to
for such a purpose by the commercial and shipping inte-
rests at large. In addition to the proposed Reform with
regard to the mode of remuneration to consuls, it is also
understood that the appointments of Consfila-General will
be almost wholly di.continued,-.. Times.

THE ARMY.

GENERAL ORDER.

Adjutant-General's Office, Dublin, April 25, 1832.
The Lieutenant-General commanding the army in Ire.
land earnestly calls on the troops, during the prevalence of
the formidable disease now raging in this city, and in other
parts of the country, to avoid every thing like excess in
drinking, and also not to enter such houses as are infected,
or likely to be so. He appeals to each individual soldier
for his own sake, for that of his comrades, and on account
of the service to which he belangs, in the anxious hope
that these considerations will induce him to take that care
to avoid putting himself in the way of contagion which the
occasion requires. Men on guard are particairly cautioned
to have no intercourse with those filthy objects too fre-
quently found loitering about their posts. Officers com-
manding regiments will, as often as they can, take their
corps into the field, and they will encourage such games as
tend to afford exercise and amusement.

The Lieutenant-General trusts that the good sense of
the men will make them feel that any restrictions under
which it may be deemed necessary to place them, should
the danger become still greater than it now k are adopted
only for the preservation of their health, to which the at-
tention of all officers must, if possible, be now more than
ever directed. The Lieutenant-General has every reason
to hope and believe, judging from what has occurred else-
where, that by proper attention and precautions the
affliction so widely spre►ding amongst the lowest classes of
society, may, in a great measure, be prevented from ex-
tending its ravages to the military. This order to be read
to the men by officers commanding companies, at three
successives p irades.
By command of the Lieut. General Commanding,
GEORGE D'AGUILAR, Dep. Adj.-Gen.

We understand that an attempt is now to pro-
gress for ridding the high-minded and enlightened people
of Scotland of the yoke of patronage, which nritht r they
nor their 'athers have hem aisle to endure. A number of
Presbyteries in the Established Church of Scotland have
agreed to transmit overtures to the ensuing General As-
sembly, imploring them to pass a law for the purpose of
vesting in the majority of the communicants or p trishioners
in each parish a veto on the nomination of patrons. At
present a call from the people is necessary to the validity
f a preaeotation ; the law now demanded is to make a
call from the majority indispensable to the validity of pre-
sentations. This is no innovation, but the revival of a
law which has become obsolete by the tyranny of the mo-
derate party, who were in the habit of forcing Ministers
on parishes by the point of the bayonet. This party is ra-
pidly declining, and with the progress of knowledge iu
Scotland their power :must 30J11 expire...—Chthaan

EXPOSITION OF THE FOREGOING TABLES.
Tutu.: I—Shows the number of persons who have died testate within a year possessed of personal property from TOOL to 500,000/.,
distinguishing the number at each amount of property, the rateand the amount of probate duty levied from each class.
The Stamp Act requires ecclesiastical courts, before granting probate, to obtain an affidavit from the executors stating the value
of the effects for which probate is granted to be under one of the grades mentioned in the schedule; upon the evidence of this
affidavit the proper stamp is obtained from the Stamp-office and thus the materials for this document are obtained.
TABLE ll—ls a similar view of those who died intesta* but it is to be observed, that both tables are confined to those whose
residence or whose property brought them within the jurisdiction of the province of Canterbury. They constitute a half in number
and two-thirds in value of the whole kingdom, and thus become important data in aiming at a classification of the holders of property.
TABLE II I—ls the amount of probate and administration duty paid within the year for the whole kingdom, which, with Tables I.
and IL, satisfactorily show the amount of personal property passing by death in one year.
TABLE IV—Shows the excess of property proved over that on which legacy-duty is paid.
TABLE V—Shows the number of those who have died within the year possessed of personal property, distinguishing those who
left wills from those who did not.

TABLE V I —Sh ows the total amount cf personal property in England, and the number of its possessors.
TABLE Vll—Shows the amount of legacy-duty, and the property paid upon, at the several rates (which rates are regulated Sc.
cording to the proximity of the consanguinity of the legatee to the deceased), also the relative proportions of property passing x
each rate.

TAm. a Parliamentary paper, giving a clasiticanon of the fundholders.
TAME IX—Shows the ...out of probate and administration duty levied on the personal property ; also the ammonia of legacy
duty at the same time, whereby it appears that the aggregate of these imposts amounts to a tax of 41. Is. Sd. per cent. on the property
passing annually from the dead to the living.
From the whole, it appears that the personalty of the kingdom (treating the national debt as such) amounts to fifteen
hundred millions, and the funds being eight hundred millions thereof, the latter pay annually in probate and legacy duties one
million.

THE NAAS LIGHTHousEs.—We arc happy
to hear that the Lighthouses, which are now building on
the Naas Point, in this county, are in state of great for-
wardness, and that the execution of the work roflects
great credit on Mr. NELSON, the architect, and his
nephew. The highest conical pillar will be 110 feet high,
independent of its lantern; and the other, which is erected
1,000 feet to the westward of it, will be 75 feet high ;
and they w ill contain, independent of the floors, about
3,200 tons of stone. The stone of which they are built
is excellent, and is found on the co Ist ; many of them
weigh about five tons, and are raised up the cliff by ma-
chinery erected on its very edge in a most ingenious and
scientific manner. Many well-informed persons who have
seen the masonry, consider it as the finest specimen of the
art in this kingdom. We are likewise informed that when
completed, the two lights are so contrived as to appear to
vessels out of danger in the Channel as one ; but to vessels
that are approximating the d,ngerous Tuscar rocks (that
have been so fatal to many) the two lights will be very
visible.— Cambrian.

MENDICITY SOCIETY.—On Saturday the
14th anniversary meeting of this Society took place at the
Freemasons' Tavern, Earl GROSVENOR in the chair. From
the annual report, in the past year assistance had been
granted to upwards of 1,200 persons; but the funds of
the Society were now running very low, the expenditure
of the last year having been 5,3971., the receipts, 3,9271.,
and the deficiency made up by the sale of stock, of which
only 800/. now remains. This sum, with an expected
legacy of 3001., is all that can be relied upon at present
for meeting the exigencies of the coming year.

ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.--Witillll
the last few days an elopement took place under somewhat
singular circumstances, from a small village in or not far
from Badenocli. A son of St. Crispin, whose knowledge
of the English language does not exceed a fisher's dozen
(14) words, having fallen into an unfathomable depth of
love with a fascinating nymph from the Lowlands, who,
on the other hand, knew nothing of Gaelic, contrived by
sundry signs and otherwise to besiege her heart so success.
fully that it capitulated after the temporary " holding out"
of eight days. The hard heart of the damsel's father was
not so easily to be molified. He presented a stern on-
yielding front to all his daughter's intreaties to consent to
her marriage with the Knight of the Awl. What was
to be done ? Love, like necessity, has no law. The
languishing lady one day eluded the vigilance of the un-
feeling parent. and eloped with her gay Lothario.
' Where, reader, do you think the loving couple went to?
Alas! there is no Gretna green in the Highlands of Scot-
land. For their greater safety from any pursuit that
might he made after them, they fled to the hills (not in a
coach and four, but by means of their legs), where the:,
concealed themselves for three days and three nights. At
the end of that time, beginning to get wearied of dens, and
caves, and mountains, Crispin sallied out from his retreat,
and sneaking to the manse of a neighbouring clergyman,
implored marriage. " What's the bride's name ?" in-
quired tile clergyman. " o,!h she not know what his
name be, but they call him Miss Something or other."
The worthy Minister pitied the devoted swain, and de-
sired Donald to bring his bride. The colder displayed
amazing alacrity in this part of the business. The blush-
ing bride was brought—the couple were married—they
are happy. What would the delicate sentimental Duleineas
who are whirled off in a coach and four to Gretna-green,
say to an elopement like this, and a residence of three
drys and nights among the mountains befote marriage ?
L./7in Courier.

Last night the rooms of the Royal College of
Physicians were thrown open for the third evening meet-
ing. el paper written by Dr. lIEBERDEN, on the sub-
ject of infection, was read ; in which the author endea-
voured to prove the spread of the malignant cholera to be
referable to contagion. The reasons which induce him to
come to this conclusion are—the slow march of the disease,
which precludes the supposition of its being communi-
cated by the atmosphere—its appearance in densely-popu-
lated places—and its absence from spots which have little
external communication. The next point to which the
Doctor adverted was the best mode of prevention ; and
this he described to consist in cleanliness and a general
healthy state of the body ; and attributed the mild form
which the cho'era bad exhibited in London to the care
which had been token to purify all unwholesome places,
on of the poor,
and to better the conditi

We regret to state that an unfortunate acci-
dent occurred o❑ Friday evening last, to a party crossing
the sands at low water, from Park. gate to Flint. A man
and two girls, supposed to be from 10 to 12 years of age,
left the former place iu a market cart ; but being without a
I,uide, and unable or unwilling to pay the extravagant sum
of Ss. demanded for one, they unfortunately became in-
volved in the quicksands, and were overtaken by the tide,
y which the three individuals and the horse were drowned.
The horse and cart were found as far up the river as Con-
iliih's Quay, and subsequently the body of the man and that
of one of the girls, dressed in black, were found... Chester
