QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday this office was crowded by the pa-
rishioners of the united parishes of St. Margaret and
St. John, to hear the decision of Mr. MARRIOTT
on several summonses against the late overseers and
churchwardens, for not paying poor rates, &c., dur-
ing the time they were in office.
There were 13 defendants, and the whole amount
claimed of them by the new overseers, !ately elected
in the parish since the adoption of the new Vestry
Act, amounted to 1141. 13s.
At the request of the defendants, the cases were
adjourned from last week, until they had time to
have legal advice upon the subject.
Mr. Rogers, a solicitor, attendel on behalf of
the parish, and Mr. Adolphus attended for Mr.
Thatcher, one of the defendants, who was church-
warden in 1828, and who was summoned for the
sum of .5/. I6i. 4d.

Mr. Stephenson, the Vestry Clerk, proved the
rate due by the defendant to the parish in 1828;
the rate was signed by Mr. Thatcher, who was then
church warden.

Mr. Rogers said, that it had been the custom
for years past to exempt all the overseers, church-
wardens, beadles, sexton, and other parochial offi-
cers, from the payment of parochial rates during
the time they were- in office, which amounted to
a considerable sum of money. In 1828 the matter
was taken up, and some of the officers paid, and
some did not. _ _

Mr. Adolphus, in defending his client, com-
plained that certain parties should be singled out -;
and he knew not by what rule the overseers had
only summoned those persons who had served since
1828. Why did they not go farther back, and
summon others who had served the office previous
to 1828, for the Statute of Limitations did not af-
fect the payment of poor-rates ?
Mr. MARRIOTT said, that whether the present
overseers ought to have gone farther back than
1828, and summoned others as well, was a ques-
tion with which the Magistrates had nothing to do.
The only question before him was, whether the de-
fendant was liable to pay the rate while he was in
office in 1828, and he was decidedly of opinion that
there was no ground whatever for exemption.
Mr. Adolphus said, that after that opinion his cli-
ent would immediately pay the rate; there would be
no occasion to issue warrants against any of the
gentlemen who had been summoned, as they would
immediately pay the demand.
Mr. Rogers observed, that although he appeared
against Mr. Thatcher, he was his personal friend,,
and he served in office with him; the only differ-
ence was, that when the rate was demanded of hirri,
lie, conceiving it to be just, paid it; Mr. Thatcher
was of a diErent opinion, and did not.
Mr. MARRIOTT said that he was happy everything
was so amicably arranged.
The decision appeared to give very great satis-
faction.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1832.

We have been favoured with an estimate o

the probable returns of the Revenue of the quar-
ter ending this day, but as a considerable alte-
ration may take place before the evening, when
the returns will be made up, we shall be as ge-
neral as possible in our statement.
At the present moment the returns for the
Customs and Excise are expected to turn out
well,—say a surplus of 300,0001., which will
cover the deficiency on the last quarter. The
other branches will, it is thought, be much the
same as in the corresponding quarter of last
year, what is gained in assessed taxes, being
lost in stamps and in the Post-office. But the
great benefit to the Revenue will accrue from the
reduced expenditure, which in the last half year,
viz., since the operation of the reduced esti-
mates, amounts to about one million. Altoge-
ther the prospects are considered by Ministers
as very favourable.
Much of the expected increase in the Customs
arises, as has been before stated, from the large
sums received on corn taken out of bond, the
holders preferring to pay the high rate of duty,
and bring it to market at once, to keeping it back,
with the chance of still lower market prices.
In other respects, however, the Customs returns,
considering the unsettled state of the Continent,
are quite as high as could reasonably have been
expected.

The falling-off in the Post-office returns is
attempted to be accounted for in various ways,
but in none satisfactorily. Whether the rate of post-
age may not be too high is, however, a question.
The charges were raised to theiractual state during

HARDY AND LAFAYETTE.

In the forthcoming Memoir of Thomas Hardy, written
by himself, there are several letters which will now for the
first time meet the public eye ; amongst them are the fol-
lowing, being a letter from Hardy to Lafayette, with La-
-I,,yette's an*wer : as to the occasion of them, they will
speak for themselves

".Dear and. respected Sir,—Although I have not had
the happiness to, see you, yet you are no stranger to me,
fur I have followed you in all your peregrinations with my
good wishes, high approbation, and esteem, for your un-
wearied exertions to promote the happiness of your fellow
men. Ever since the hvginning of the American revolu-
tion, I remember well your laudable efforts, together with
that extraordinary man Washington, to gain that great
ohject for which the brave Americans were contending—
their emancipation from a foreign yoke, which they at last
affected; and now they are a great and prosperous nation.
I have great pleasure to remark, that you and I have been
fellow-labourers in the great cause of civil liberty ever
since that important period. We may now be permitted
to rejoice, together with the great body of the friends of
liberty, that their honest efforts have not been lost. It
was a maxim of the celebrated reformer Dr. John Jebb,
that no effort- is lost. .Permit me now to congratulate
you on the late glorious revolution in France, in July last;
it has no parallel in ancient or modern history. I also well
remember the first revolution in France, about 40 years
ago; and I am very happy when I recollect that I was in-
strumental in sending the first congratulatory address from
this country, from the London Corresponding Society, to
the National Convention of France, with which they ap-
peared to be so well 'pleased, that it was lead in the Con-
vention, ordered to be printed, sent to thtaB4 departments,
and to be read at the head of the armies of France. When
tie Paris.newspaperot, having that address, came to Lon-
don, it astonished and highly pleased the people ; but not
so the Government. When that useful and important
society, the fruit of whose labours the British nation are
reaping at this day, unanimously voted that address, they
deputed four trusty friends to convey it in the safest and
quickest way possible. Being the secretary, and, in fact,
the founder of the society, I waited on Monsieur Chaveliue,
privately, to know whether he would convey it. lie readily
consented, and ordered the deputation to wait on him the
n-xt day, at 11 o'clock : they, of course, punctually
attended, and read the address to him, with which he was
touch pleased, and promised to send it speedily. The

EXAMINATION OF THE EVIDENCE
TAKEN BEFORE THE COMMITTEE OF SECRECY ON THE

BANK OF, ENGLAND CHARTER.

13g ALEXANDER MUNDELL, ESQ., LONDON.
We have at different times had occasion to
bestow our humble approbation upon Mr. Mun-
dell's labours ; occasionally, however, taking the
liberty of differing from him, where we felt he
had suffered his judgment to be led away by a
favourite theory, such as the great effect produced
by the falling-off in the supply of the precious
metals from South America since 1810. In
the pamphlet before us, Mr. Mundell does not
appear to have been so engrossed by one or two
ideas as in that we last noticed, and therefore
may be more generally relied upon. His main
object is to expose different fallacies advanced
by the advocates of the Bank of England in their
evidence before the Secret Committee, and in
our opinion he has done it very successfully.

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CL 0 CK.
The only arrivals this morning are Jamaica and Lee-
ward Islands' mails, the former brought by his Majesty'►
ship Hope, sailed on the 10th September, and the latter
by the Calypso, sailed from St. Thomas's the 6th Sept.
'From the Jamaica Papers received at the North and
South American Coffee-house.)

His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to post-
pone the meeting of the Honourable House of Assembly
to the 10th October next. It is generally reported that
the House will meet on the 30th October.

By the Ranger, from Carthagena, letters have been re-
ceived from Bogota, from which we learn that on the 14th
August the good people of that city were under great
anxiety about the affairs of the south, from which no poet
hid arrived for a month.

Letters from Citara had arrived at Carthagena ; to the
20th ult., announcing that the Valle of Cauca had de-
clared itself in favour of Ecuatter, as well as the province
of Choro. Business is very dull at Carthagena, all was
at a stand.

DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF ST. DOMINGO.
We were informed yesterday by a gentleman lately from
St. Domingo, that that once beautiful colony is reduced
to a state which beggars description, the people have no
confidence in their rulers, and those in authority are sur•
rounded in their hovels by armed men, on whom they can-
not rely. Commerce is at its lowest ebb ; as for money
there is none.

By the last a rrivals from St. Jago de Cuba, a letter
was received by a gentleman in this city, dated Aug. 24,,
stating that the Restoration frigate of 50 guns bad sailed
from the Havannah with arms and ammunition for Oma ;
it also mentions that the Spanish squadron had orders to
get ready with six months' provisions for a secret expedi-
tion, and it was believed that an attempt would be made
on the coast of Colombia, as it was known at the Havan-
nah that Cartbagena and Santa Martha were but thinly
garrisoned, and the fortifications in a wretched state.

Margarot, Chairman, Thomas Hardy, Secretaty. That
period is worth referring to were I in Paris, if any of the
records of the Convention are now in existence. _

" I cannot help mentioning to you how much I am
pleased with the revolution which has taken place in this
country, fur revolution it is The King and his Ministers
are now turned Parliamentary Reformers! They are
guilty of the very same crime, if crime it be, with which
Parliamentary Reformers in the year 1791• were charged
by the infamous Government of Pitt, Dundas, and Gren_
ville, the greatest crime known in our laws—high treason.
Many wire imprisoned, some were banished, and three
were tried for it ; but an English jury had a very different
opinion of the criminality of their conduct, and honourably
acquitted them. I rejoice that it has plea,,ed God to spare
my life so long, being now in my 80th year, to witness the
grand and beneficial change which is taken place in this
country ; and also great changes all over Europe. I ar-
dently wish the oppressed people of every country may be
relieved from their oppressors.
" Political knowledge is making a great and rapid pro-
gress ;it is now diffused among all classes. The Press_

maxim of the great Lord Bacon, that knowledge is power.

wishes that you may enjoy long life, in health and happi_

THE HAGUE, Om 16.—The Second Chamber of the
States-General was employed to day in preliminary busi•
nes., appointing a Committee to examine the validity Of
the elections of the new members, and choosing three can-
didates for the office of President. The three members
chosen were, Messrs. Collot d'Escury, Asch Van W)cict
and Byleveld. The Assembly adjourned without fixing a
day for the next sitting.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, who came
on Sunday morning from the army, to be present at the
opening of the session of the States General, will set out
again fair the army this evening.
The army has been again augmented by a fine squadron
of hussars.

Several detachments of infantry have been sent to re-
in'orce the several corps of the army. Measures of precau-
tion continue to be taken in case hostilities should unex-
pectedly be renewed. The great reserve part is removed
from Gertruidenberg to Oss, probably on account of inun-
dations in the vicinity of the former place, or of Raini-
donk. There is also a report that it is contemplated to
lay under water part of the country between Breda and
Bergen-op-Zoom. The works at Terheide are forwarded
with great activity. The artillery with the army is in the
finest condition. The field artillery is said to amount to
130 piec,s of cannon.
We learn from the Rhine that the water in that river is
lower than it has been for many years at this season. The
navigation of the river is greatly impeded by this. The
steam-hoats between Cologne and 31eniz continue to TOP
but take no goods, and should the water fall two or
three inches, this too must st,,p. This extremely low state
of the water is ascribed, first, to there having been so little
snow last winter; and in the second place to the want of
heat in the summer, as that the snow on the mountains
has not been mel ed.

We have Jiva papers to the 3d of July, which shot,/
that the insurrection of the Chinese is completely quelled.
The Governor-General, however, had, by a decree of the
19th of May, withdrawn the licence granted on the 26th
of July, 1831, to bring to Java a certain number of IV
bourers from China, to be employed in agriculture 504
manufactures, be ause " experience has proved that the
plan has nt t answered the end proposed, and has only Jed
.0 the importation into the island of the refuse of the
Chinese, who were dangerous to the public tranquillity, as
the late events at Kiowang have shown."
It is much to he regretted that the active naturalist M.
Mack!ot has lost his life in these events, and that his MSS•
and the fruits of his travels and researches in Java and the
least known parts of the Indian Archipelago were a pill
to the Rim, s.
A resolution of the Governor-General of the 26th of
May orders the establishment of a school for the Javanese
language at Socra Karta, in which ton young Europes°
are to be qualified to converse and to write in the Javanree

language.
From an account of the events on the west coast of Su•
matra to the Ist of 11I4y, it appears that the hostile at'
tempts of the Prairies had been completely defeated.

THE ANNUALS.

A CKERMAN'S FORGET-ME-NOT.

The illustrations to this eldest-born of the
Annuals show great marks of skill and care,
though there is a monotonous character about
them—which, however, they share in common
with the rest of their graceful fraternity—that
bids defiance to minute or particular criticism.
All we can say of them is, that they are excel-
lent sui generis. The literary department has
much of the same uniform polish. Tales and
Poems—Poems and Tales " dance the hays"
in gay and glittering confusion, through some
three hundred and upwards gilt-edged exqui-
sitely-printed pages. Among the best of
the tales is one by Miss Mitford, entitled
" Old Matthew the Matseller." The in-

cident, as told by any other person, would be
a mere nothing, but in Miss Mitford's hands
it is worked up with infinite grace and skill,
yet still preserves the utmost truth and simpli-

city. There is a little bit of description in it, of
a cottage in a dingle, which possesses all the
force of painting. Mr. Hood furnishes some
lines in imitation of Swift's petition of " Betty
the Cookmaid," which are but indifferent. Miss
Landon's verses on Marius among the ruins of
Carthage, are the best in the volume. Miss
Howitt also contributes some agreeable stanzas.
The Annual, on the whole, is of the average
order of merit.

THEIR MAJESTIES.

(From the 'Windsor Express of Saturday).
The KING and QUEEN remain in good health, and con-
tinue to enjoy their daily rides and drives, except when
prevented by the state of the weather. The Duchess of
GLOUCESTER is in a very delicate state. Her Royal
Highness appears to be low and dejected, and although
there is no immediate danger, the family ar.a not without
apprehension. The statement of the Princess AUGUSTA
being indisposed is incorrect, her Royal Highness was
never in better health.

On Monday their AIAJESTIES go to Kew, where they
dine and pass the day ; returning to Windsor in the
evening.

On Wednesday the KING goes to London, for the pur-
pose of holding a Levee at St. James's, and will return to
the Castle to dinner.

There have been no dinner or evening parties at the
Castle for some days, and little or no company ; and we
do not hear that, for the present, any more grand enter-
tainments are in prospective.
The workmen are now engaged in restoring the front of
Queen Elizabeth's Gallery, the interior of which is being
converted into a library.

THE FUNDS.

The only arrivals this morning are French and Flanders
mails; the contents are already anticipated. The esta-
fette from Paris contradicts the illness of the King of
France.

Consols opened this morning at the prices they left off at
on Saturday, 841 for the Account, and 841- for Money.
As yet scarce a bargain has been done.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We continue in the same state as in the early part of
the morning, without any political news or reports up to
the present hour.
The preventing of the recruiting service in this country
for Don Pedro, has rather cast a gloom on his partizans.
Report says that his two recruiting officers, against whom
warrants have been granted, have already set sail.
We hear that another Austrian loan of about two and a
half millions sterling, is to be contracted for.
Consols have continued the whole of the morning at
8481 for the Account, and 84/g for money, with scarce a
bargain doing. Several of the gentlemen of the Stock
Exchange are gone a shooting.
The Foreign market is in the same state of stagnation
as that of the British. Portuguese scrip 4to 41 discount.
We hear that the troops collected in the country to join
Don Pedro, sailed on Saturday; al.o, that 400 to 500 were
on the eve of sailing from France.
The Dutch steamer has arrived ; it brings the Dutch
funds about seven per cent. higher, but no political news
of importance.

On Saturday, Jane May, alias Mann, and Ca-
therine Phillips, were charged with receiving a va-
riety of articles of jewellery and plate, the property,
of Mr. Steel, silversmith, &c., Oxford-street, know-
ing the same to have been stolen. The case was of
a distressing nature. It appeared that the sor. of
Mr. Steel, a lad about 14 years of age, had become
acquainted with several young females of a certain
description, who persuaded him to rob his father.
The youth carried on his depredations upon the
property of his parent to a great extent, and among
the long list of articles stolen were rings, necklaces,
bracelets, &c. So many valuables were at length
missing, that suspicion fell upon the boy, who at
once acknowledged bit guilt. He was conveyed to
this office, together ivith a female Whom he was in
the practice of meeting in Regent-street at night.
They were remanded until Wednesday. Since their
examination the above-named prisoners were taken
into custody. On the person of May was found a
valuable necklace, and her fingers were decorated
with rings, the produce of the robbery. A number
of duplicates were also discovered at their lodgings,
and the articles pledged sworn to as forming part of
the property stolen. Phillips did not deny pawn-
ing tliem, but did so at the deSire of the youth, she
believing them to be his property. May said the
son of Mr. Steel gave her the necklace and ring.,,
as a present, one night in Regent-street.
Mr. DYER observed that it tvasa most distressing
ease, and, after animadverting upon the conduct of
the prisoners, in supposing the property belonged to
such a youth as the prisoner Steel, remanded the
females until Wednesday, when all the prisoners will
be placed at the bar for:further examination.

Our City Correspondent says :—" We hear
that letters are in town from Oporto of the 23d
ult., stating that three guerilla parties were act-
ing in favour of Don PEDRO, principally on the
side of Coimbra; that Oporto was considered so
strongly fortified, as being out of all danger of
being attacked. We also hear that the ship of
13 hundred tons, purchased for PEDRO, has
sailed, as well as a steamer, having on board 50
guns for the above ship, 120 seamen, and a
quantity of Congreve rockets."

The Foreign Enlistment Bill has often been
turned to purposes of oppression and injustice,
but rarely indeed has it served any of the useful
objects under pretence of attaining which it was
passed. The minds of the people have long
since been made up upon the subject, and when
the Legislature really represents them, we hope
that this will be one of the first blots upon our
statute-book which it will erase. It is not suf-
ficient that our own Government should have
the power of stopping the enlistment of
Englishmen for foreign service, in however
just a cause, but it appears by the decision
of the Magistrates o❑ Saturday even-
ing, as will be seen in another part of our
paper, that a usurper may, with the money
he has plundered from a relative, send some un-
recognised tool to this country, to set in motion
the machinery of our law, in order to prevent
his victim from obtaining redress. It is an in-
sult to the English people, that a miscreant,
whose existence, in the character he assumes, is

not acknowledged by the Government, should,
in the first instance, have the power of impri.
soning our subjects, without the consent of any
authority in this country beyond that of a Jus-

tice of the Peace. It is well done in the cow-
ard thus to act, for he knows that a few more of
our brave countrymen landed on his shores would
speedily make him disgorge his spoil ; but it is
not well done in our Government to suffer such
a creature to have power over them in England,
whatever their intentions towards him may be.
