A return relative to the amount of money to be invested in
the reduction of the National Debt in the present quarter,
has just been issued, and, as was anticipated, the sum to be
so laid out was very nearly 600,0001. This must have an
influence upon the value of Stock, and that, too, favourably,
as the amount of What was called Floating Securities in the
market is at present very small indeed.

news of particular importance.

RECAPTURE OF THE lIANNAH,
OF SYDNEY.
A letter has been received at Lloyd's to-day from the Ad-
miralty, containing the official documents relating to the re-
capture of the brigantine Hannah, of Sydney, of which the
following is a copy
" Government House, Auckland, New Zealand,
" Nov. 14, 1843.
" Sir,—l have to report the capture of the piratical brigan-
tine, the Hannah, by the harbour-master (Mr. Rough),
aided by a detachment of the 80th Regiment, under the
command of Ensim Wellman, under the following circum-
stances :—On the 31st ult. it was reported by the police ma-
gistrate that he had issued warrants for the capture of
William Ellis, and eight seamen, upon a charge of piracy,
preferred by Mr. Horton) whom Ellis had forced to
act as mate of the Hannah, which had been
seized by Ellis, whilst lying at the Chatham Islands, where
Captain Bell had been put ashore, and the supercargo and a
seaman who had been shot by Ellis, and were supposed to
have been mortally wounded, had been landed at some place
on the Southern island. The schooner had then proceeded
to New Zealand, and lastly to a small harbour in one of the
Mercury Islands, where slie was at the time lying, and in-
tended proceeding to Torres Straits, on a piratical voyage. I
desired Mr. Rough to engage the Ariel schooner, belonging
to Messrs. Wright and Graham, who placed her at my dis-
posal, but she was lying with sails unbent and rigging un-
rove, without a crew. Notwithstanding, a crew were en-
gaged, the detachment shipped on board, with a month's
provision, at midnight set sail, and at two r.m., next day,
were alongside the Hannah, and captured her without re-
sistance. The prisoners have been committed for trial at the
next sessions, and the schooner has been detained for sailing
under false papers.
(Signed) " WILLOUGHBY SHORTLAND."

THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE.—The ground be
tween the eastern front of the New Royal Exchange, at the
rear of the houses in Finch-lane, is being now built upon by
direction of the trustees of Magdalen College, to whom the
property belongs. There will be a line of houses from Corn-
hill to Threadneedle-street, for which purpose the church of
St. Benet Fink will be pulled down, the living of which it is
said will be transferred to a church which will be erected on
the site of what was formerly Cripplegate Workhouse, Moor-
lane. In excavating for the foundation of the new houses,
at a depth of about 12 feet, a large quantity of common
Roman and of Roman tessellated pavement was found.
LIVERPOOL CUSTOMS.—We are happy in being able
to state, that the Customs receipts at this port for the
month ending the sth inst., have been the greatest ever
known, the amount having reached half a million sterling ;
and that, notwithstanding the great reduction which has
taken place in the duties upon timber, turpentine, and other
important articles, and the entire abolition of the duties on
exports. We may also state, that the receipts at this port
for the first half of the present year have exceeded 2,150,0001.
sterling, or nearly one-fourth of the entire Customs of the
whole empire for the same period.—Liverpocl Standard.
• DISPENSARY:FOR CONSUMPTION, DISEASES OF THE
HEART, &c., 113, STRAND.—Among the many valuable cha-
rities of which this country can boast, there is none more
entitled to support than one for the successful treatment of
consumption. From the prospectus of the above Dispensary,
it is proposed to give gratuitous advice and medicine, when
necessary, to those who are provided with a letter of recom-
mendation from any donor to the Institution, and on certain
days, which are appointed, to every poor person, without re-
ference to sex or country. Lord Bloomfield, and several other
persons of distinction, have become patrons to this Institu-
tion, which, from. its central situation (the populous neigh-
bourhood of the Strand), cannot fail to be felt as a blessing
to the numerous distressed poor with which this locality
abounds. Dr. Cronin, whose new theory, and successful
treatment of consumption, has already attracted so much
attension, is the managing director and physician, while seve-
ral other distinguished medical gentlemen have given their
support, by becoming members of the committee.
RUDE AND ANCIENT PLOUGH.—A plough of a very
simple and original construction was tho other day dug
out of peat moss in the island of Liel, near Easdale. It
consisted entirely of one piece. The lower part or
trunk of the tree was formed into a stilt, with a handle
cut out of. the solid timber wide enough to receive both
hands, something similar to a garden spade,. only very
coarse and clumsy. The handle was horizontal, while
the plough was upright in working position. The beam
was a branch of some length, and the share was the
stump of another, as the tree had branched into two,
something like the y, with one of the branches length-
ened. It did Rot appear to have had any iron about it.
It is evident from its simple form that it could never
turn over the soil, but merely stirred it like a cultivator
or grubber. It was so decayed that, on exposure to the
air, it crumbled into fragments.—Glasyozo National.
York Minster was re-opened on Sunday last.
having undergone a complete restoration. The Very Rev
W. Cockburn, D.D., the Dean, preached on the occasion.
