proper stamp duty on his former admission, according to the
lasts then in force.

8. The time for giving notice of intention to compound for

9. By the 9th clause, composition on four wheel carriages
drawn by one horae only are declared valid.
10. 11. 12. Commissioners of the Treasury authorized to

13. 43 G. 3, c. 150. Land-tax in Scotland to be collected

The 14th and 15th clauses provide for the consolidation and
reduction of the duties on race-horses, fixing the duty at
3t. los. per annum in lieu of the former duties, which amounted
to 9d. more.

The 16th clause relates to the exemption, under 4 and 5
Will, I V., c. 73, 86, of small farmers from the duty on one
riding-horse, explaining that the said exemption shall be
deemed and construed to extend only to such occupiers of
farms or estates under the rent or value in the said Act spe-
cified, as obtain their livelihood principally by husbandry on
such farms or estates in their respective occupation, under and
subject nevertheless to the several provisoes and conditions in
the recited Act contained.

Clause 17 extends the former exemption from one to such
number of servants being soldiers as may be allowed to each
officer by the regulations of the service.

COMPENSATION TO MR. BUCKINGHAM.

A BILL to enable James Silk Buckingham, late of Calcutta,
in the East Indies, to recover Compensation from the East
India Company, for the Loss and Damages sustained by him
by the suppression of the Calcutta Journal, of which he was a
Proprietor.—The preamble recites the well-known facts of
Mr. Buckingham's case, that by an expenditure of 20,0001.
he, with great exertions, succeeded in establishing at Calcutta
a Journal which yielded 8,0001. annually, and that he possessed
33 shares of this Journal. He was banished, his paper sup-
pressed, and property to the amount of 40,0001. was destroyed.
All this was done by order of the Governor, without trial or
conviction. These facts were proved on the 4th of August,
before a Committee of the House of Commons, who declared
that as by the ordinary course of law there was no remedy,
compensation should be awarded by the authority of Parliament.
Clauses 1 and
,2 empower and require the East India Com-
pany to pay compensation to Mr. Buckingham, without fees
and within a specific period ; the remaining two clauses give
him and his heirs power to sue for the sum that shall be
awarded in the Courts of Law, and that the Act shall be held
a Public Act by the Judges without being specially pleaded.

POST OFFICE, GLASGOW.-It appears from the Return ob-
tained by Mr. Hume's motion, that the Postmaster at Glasgow,
without any orders from the Postmaster- General, took it upon
himself to keep the office open for the delivery of letters that
might be called for on the recent Fast-Day ; but that he did
not send out any, it being the practice to observe a Fast-Day
the same as if it were Sunday.

WINE.---It appears by an official account recently ordered
by the House of Commons, on the motion of Dr. Lushington,
that during the year 1834, 6,766,116 gallons of wine were
imported, of which French wines, and those from the Cape,
make one half of the whole quantity. Cape pays a duty of
2s. 6d., all other wines ss. 6d. per gallon. Within the same
period, 1,639,121 gallons were exported, and 6,480,544 re-
tained for home consumption. The net amount of duty re-
ceived thereon exceeded a million and a half sterling,
1,705,638/. 16s. 3d.
GUERNSEY SPIRITS.—From the same Account, we learn
that the highest degree of strength at which Guernsey and
.I,3rsey Spirits have been imported into the United Kingdom
within the years 1834 and 1835, is 62 5-10ths per cent. above
proof ; and the lowest 8 6-lOths below proof.
Of plain Spirits imported in the years 1834 and 1835, into
the United Kingdom, the quantity was 23,602 gallons, and
31,262 gallons were admitted for home consumption. In Ja-
nuary 1835, there remained in bond 6,379 gallons, of which
1,736 were over proof.
COLONIAL SPIRITS.—During the year 1834, 3,130,448 gal-
lons were imported into Great Britain from the colonies ;
3,345,707 were admitted for home consumption. The rate of
duty on Spirits, .the produce of British possessions in Ame-
rica, was 9s. ; on those the produce of British possessions
within the limits of the East India Company's Charter, 15s.
The net amount of duty received was upwards of a million
and a half.

SLAVERY ABOLITION ACT.—The Order in Council, dated
31 July, 1835, declares that adequate and satisfactory provi-
sion has been made by law in the islands and colonies of An-
tigua, Bermuda, Bahamas, St. Christopher, Dominica, Gre-
nada, St. Lucia, Trinidad, Mauritius, and the Cape of Good
Hope, for giving effect to the Act 3 and 4 William IV. c. 73,
for the Abolition of Slavery throughout the British Colonies.

MILITIA STAFF BILL. —By this Bill, which has now
passed both Houses of Parliament, the Ring► in Council is
authorised at any time before the 10th of September, 1835,
to direct that a portion of the sergeants of each regiment of
militia shall be reduced on the 10th of October following,
provided the proportion be not less than one-third, nor more
than two-thirds (not including the sergeant-major) of the es.
tablishment, and that the number reduced shall not exceed
one half the number serving on the Ist of August. That all
the drum-majors and drummers of the militia of Great Britain
and Ireland, shall be reduced on the 10th of October. The
arms and accoutrements to be delivered to the Ordnance De-
partment. The making of lists and ballots to he suspended ;
likewise all general and sub-division meetings, until an Order
in Council shall direct the same to be held. On the issuing
of such orders all proceedings as therein directed shall be
taken under the usual forfeitures and penalties. His Majesty
in Council is empowered to suspend and renew such proceed-
ings from time to time as he shall think fit. This Act to be
construed to extend to the Warden and Deputy Wardens of
the Stannaries and Corps of Miners of Cornwall and Devon.

POLLS AT ELECTION BILL.—The most prominent amend-
ments made by the Lords to this Bill are, giving to any can-
didate or elector the power so to divide booths that not more
than two electors shall be allotted to poll in each such booth,
provided he pay all expenses incident upon such division or
arrangement. The other is allowing any liveryman of the
city of London the option of having his vote entered in the
poll-books either as owner or tenant of premises, or as a
Liveryman, as he shall direct.

An inquest was yesterday held before Mr. Carter,
Coroner, at the Kentish Drovers public-house, Peckham, on
view of the body of Eleanor Langley, aged 16, a fine young
woman, who was found drowned in tho Surrey Canal. Mr.
Thomas Gibbs, surgeon, deposed, that about nine ,'clock on
Sunday evening, the deceased was brought to him, and he
was informed that she had been taken out of the canal. She
was quite dead. He used every means in his power to restore
animation, but without effect. There were no marks of vio-
lence on the body. The deceased died from suffocation. She
did not appear to have been more than twenty minutes in the
water. 'The beadle here handed to the Coroner the following
paper in the deceased's handwriting :—" My dear Mother,—
I am going to drown myself in the canal just above Sunder-
man's wharf. Oh, be wise and guard, by early piety, against
the horrors of that day." The mother of the deceased ( Anne
Langley), deposed, that she left her house on the Sunday
evening, about half-past eight o'clock. The deceased went to
Camberwell Fair on Thursday evening, and stayed away all
night. Witness spoke to her upon the subject, but not harshly.
Since that day the deceased appeared to be very unhappy.
She went alone to the Fair, and did not return till between
nine and ten o'clock tho next morning. She said she had
been alone all the ' night. She had not been scolded or
ill-
treated, but a complete change came over her after the night
she stopped out. She made no complaint of having been ill-
treated. She was very low-spirited on the Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday. In consequence of the paper being found, search
was made for the deceased. About half an hour after the de-
ceased left the hOusa she was found in the canal. The Jury
returned a verdict—" That the deceased destroyed herself;
being at the time in a state of temporary derangement."
