MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10i per mille,
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10F t, per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25
41 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25 50, it follows that gold is 0.35 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4341
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 1441.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9:1 ;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at slime
being 13 04, it follows that gold bears the same price at
both places.
We are requested to state, for the information of the
Spanish bondholders, that the Committee are daily expect-
ing a reply to their letter, dated the 19th of August last,
forwarded through the Foreign-office. The delay may be
accounted for by the absence of Mr. Bulwer from
Madrid ; and as the Minister of Finance has in a great
measure satisfied the claims of the local creditors, he can
scarcely refuse to give his attention to the further liqui-
dation of the foreign debt.
A correspondence between the London and Liverpool
Societies for the registration of Bristol and foreign ship •
ping has just been printed. The first letter of the series,
which is dated last July, is from the Liverpool Society,
and represents to the London one, that the time has ar-
rived for defining more clearly the rules and regulations
that relate to the building of new ships, and generally
for revising the rules for classification, The London So-
ciety (Lloyd's) in answering this communication, ad-
mits the truth of the assertion made on the Liverpool
side, that over-production of British shipping since 1838
has partly caused the depression under which this inte-
rest is labouring ; but while they profess their willing-
ness to receive suggestions, they are averse from making
alterations in their rules. In a subsequent letter, the
Liverpool Society, after several suggestions relative to
shipping, make the following observations, which are
the most important part of the correspondence :
" Experience has convinced• them, that a local com-
mittee is essential to the public interests of the impor-
tant port of Liverpool, and to the merchant-shipping,
which resort to it, the work of which cannot consistently
with those interests be left to the mere reports of the
surveyors, owing (with other reasons) to the peculiar
regulations of the port and the arrangements of the
public graving docks. The underwriters and merchants
require this protection no less than the ship-owners.
Should these views be adopted, one book of registry
would be sufficient, the local committee would super-
intend the work of this port, and transmit the decisions
and surveys to the London committee for publication.
The surplus fees, after paying the local expenses, would
be transmitted to London also."
The answer to this letter is the communication of
a resolution passed by the London committee, that
no alteration can be made in the fundamental rules
of the society. This of course implies that the sug-
gestion quoted above is not to be adopted, and the
Liverpool party publish the correspondence, to show
the shipping interest the pains they have taken for their
welfare.
A correspondent, adverting to the favourable accounts
recently transmitted of financial affairs in Portugal, is
of opinion that the creditors may now with propriety
look for a more rapid increase of the interest on the Con-
verted Stock, considering that the foreign debt does not
exceed 9,486,000/.—a small sum in proportion to the re-
sources of the country. The interest on this sum at 21
per cent., the rate which Portugal has paid for the last
three years, amounts to 237,6501. sterling ; and our let-
ters from Lisbon state, that by the economical plans of
Baron Tojal an annual saving of 118,0001, or half the
amount required for interest, has been effected, with every
prospecteioua pla plans.

In consequence of the attention which is now paid to
this stock, we subjoin the article of the Portuguese decree

moil THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
STANDARD.--Well, the Tractarians are, we
hope, satisfied with the result of yesterday's trial of
strength at Oxford; they challenged the trial, and
they have been beaten by a majority of somewhere
about four to one. They cannot pretend that they
had not every qollateral advantage in the contest.
They chose their own time and their own battle-field;
and undoubtedly the time was well selected—a season
when so many of the out-voters were known to be at a
sufficient distance to secure their absence on the day of

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
BOW-STREET.

A young man, who gave his name as Henrich Spurt;
was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with assaulting
a police-officer in the station-house, at Bow-street.
The prisoner intimated by signs, that he could not
speak English.
The officer stated, that about a week ago, the prisoner
was convicted of assaulting an officer, and Mr. Hall
Fentenced him to pay six shillings, or be imprisoned
for five days, He was accordingly sent to prison.
Yesterday he came to the station-house' and intimated
that he wanted to see the inspector. He was taken
into the station-house, and from his gesticulations and
words in broken English that he uttered, it appeared,
that he believed, that having served the five days' im-
prisonment he was entitled to the fire shillings.—
(Laughter.) He gave them to understand, that he had
been put to pick oakum, and that for this he was to have
the five shillings. They told him that he was not en-
titl4'd to it, and he immediately struck the officer.
Mr. JARDINE (to the prisoner)—Where do you come
from ? Prisoner—Five shelling.—(Laughter.)
Mr. JARDINE—Oh, you can speak better English than
that, for you spoke to me in the street yesterday. I be-
lieve you are an imposter.
The prisoner made signs that he had been set to pick
oakum.

battle, but when the corps of the Tractarian party, Con-
sisting, we are sorry to say, for the most part of resi-
dent private tutors and other resident members of the
University, were upon the spot. Had the contest
been delayed a month, there is little doubt that the
majority would have been more near to eight to one
thaa four to one. An attempt is made to palliate the
disgrace of yesterday's defeat by a reference to the
mock defection of Doctor Hook. This stratagem,
however, will not avail. Doctor Hook's detection
was but a mockery, designed in part, no
doubt, to serve this very purpose of palliating the
defeat which the Reverend Doctor inadvertently con-
fessed to be inevitable, when he wrote his silly
letter, principally designed, however, to disarm
the vigilance of the orthodox members of Con•
vocation, by creating an opinion that there
would be no contest ; and, to some extent,

this manoeuvre succeeded. So lately as on
Monday night, we were assured by a dignitary
of the Church—zan upright and sensible man, of
sound principles—Ahat all idea of opposing Dr.
Symons had been abandoned, and that the Tracta-
rians had beaten the chamade in Dr. Hook's letter.

Mr. JARDINE—WeII, I shall send you to prison again
for five days, and in the meantime I will make inquiries
about you.
Prisoner—Me five shelling.
He held out his hand for the money ; but the gaoler
removed him from the Court, and he was sent to enter into
another engagement to pick oakum. He is a Dutchman,
it seems.

The gentleman in question did not go to Oxford
yesterday, and we have little doubt that Dr. Hook's
letter operated to prevent many going to the Con-
vocation to support Dr. Symons, by creating
an impression that the . Tractarians would be re-
presented only by their leaders, as Dr. Hook
said would be the case. There were, however,
183 of them at Oxford, and it rests upon
the Tractarians to show that one of their body, ex-
cept Dr. Hook himself, was absent ; that there was
one Ilookite except the Reverend Dr. Hook. Our
Tractarian Contemporary, the Times, is sorely puzzled
how to treat the Untoward event of yesterday. Our
Contemporary has an article upon the subject which
we do not pretend to understand, but which we
submit to the curious in enigmas. To us it seems
to resemble nothing we have ever seen so much as an
old engraved diagram of the vortices of Des Cartes,
all violent whirl and confusion, without begin-
ning or end. Here and there, indeed, we
pick up, flung off from the maze, a detached
sentence that seems to have an independent
meaning, for example—" An event most remarkable,
we may almost say unprecedented, in the annals of
the University, took place yesterday in the Theatre
at Oxford. The gentleman who came next by order
of rotation for the office of Vice-Chancellor was op-
posed." The absence of precedent may be true
enough, and it is much to the honour of Oxford
that it is true, for it proves, first, that the Vice-
Chancellors offered have always been unexception-
able men—secondly, that in the long succession
of centuries the members of the Convocation
have been uniformly reasonable and just per-
sons, until Tractarianism corrupted some of them,
for any one mad or mischievous member might,
by simply calling out two words—" peto scru-
tinium," at any time raise an opposition, and with
&out aa -inucti— prospect of success as the oppo-
sition was raised yesterday. But though the
perverse minority yesterday no doubt departed
from precedent, as the perpetrators of new crimes
and the movers of new mischiefs always do, and
in doing so, earn a certain fame for themselves
(vide the case of the Samian in Longinus), the
vast majority of the ConvoCation adhered to pre-
cedent, for they approved of the "gentleman next in
rotation, Scc:" What, then, have the Tractarians
taken by their motion ? Nothing. that any one of
them could not have taken single-handed. 'they have
put the gentleman nominated to assert his right, it is
true, but only just in the same way in which about
every three months some poor madman or mad-
woman puts Queen Victoria to assert her right, by
preferring a claim to the Crown of England. We
certainly do not quote what follows as having
any independent meaning, or any meaning at all, but
as a symptom of the utter bewilderment of our Con-
temporary—" If the self-elected nominee of a rota-
tion (!) for centuries is once subjected to the ap-
proval of the mass of the University, and goes
on, notwithstanding, being exactly what he was
before—if this fact disappears without leaving any
traces whatever ,on the officer who has felt it,
it will be remarkable proof of the sterility of the
ground on which it has fallen." Shade of Cob-
bett ! this is " the admirable writing of the Times,"
eulogised by so many provincial toadies. We
confess that we do not remember ever to have
read anything like it but the celebrated excursus of
Squire Thornhill, in the "Vicar of Wakefield,"
" Very well," cried the squire, speaking very quick,
" the premises being thus settled, I proceed to ob-
serve that the concatenations of self-existences pro-
ceeding in a reciprocal duplicate ratio, naturally
produce a problematical dialogism, which in some
measure proves that the essence of spirituality
may be referred to the second predicable." " Hold,
hold, cried Moses ;" and hold, hold, cry we. We
confess ourselves as completely confounded by the
Times, as the parson's son was by the squire. Never-
theless we thing that the mystic oracle of our
Contemporary, in darkness beats poor Goldsmith's
jargon hollow. We come back, however, to the realm
of daylight, if not of good sense, in the following
passage :—" We must remind them (the hebdomadal
board, we believe, but are not quite sure) that the
office of Vice-Chancellor is, in spits even of the halo
of a majority, considerably lowered in dignity by
such contests as the present." This, again, may
be all true enough, but who is to blame for im-
pairing the dignity of the Vice- Chancellorship,
if not the party provoking the contest by which it
is " impaired ?" .Would the dignity of the office have
been less lowered had the Tractarians succeeded ?
The Times says no, for it is by the contest, not by
the event, the lowering is. effected. Here, then, our
Tractarian friend confesses that the Tractarians have
been lowering the dignity of the great executive
g4vernor of the University, and lowering it to no
practical end. rbe University must be grateful to
-them. We will, however, give the Times some con-
solation from a quarter from which, probably,
it expects none. Many who lately thought
very ill of the Tractarians, now think less ill
of them, and it is this contest which has made
the change. Many who believed that the Tracta-
rians are the pupils and tools of Jesuits think
so no longer, for. of a certainty no Jesuits ever did
anything so stupid as to embark in a contest like
this, in which the Tractarians wantonly plunged—
a contest in which their inexorable absurdity has
caused them to reject the protection of that eeneral
impression, that the peace of the University was best
preserved by conniving at their practices—an impres-
sion to which they owe their permitted existence as
members of the University so long—and a contest by
which they have set a precedent that must for ever
exclude Tractarians, or the abettors of Tractarians,
from the office of Vice-Chancellor. No, the Jesuits
never trained such blockheads.
GLOBE.—Some attention has been directed with-
in the last few years to the adoption of an improved
sanatory system with reference to the dwellings of the
less wealthy claSses occupying. large towns. Parks
for their recreation have been commenced in Man-
chester, London, and other extensive congregations
of the human family. One of the earliest benefactors
to the working classes in this respect was the late
Mr. Strutt, of Derby, who set apart for the recrea-
tion of the inhabitants of that town some twelve or
twenty acres (we think it was) as an Arboretum.
Magnificent donations have been made towards the
proposed Manchester Parks, as large a sum, we per-
ceive, as twenty. thousand guineas being now sub-
scribed for that purpose. Another eminent benefac-
tor of his fellow species in this respect was the late
Sir John Ramsden, who has left a large sum by will
for the improvement of the borough of Huddersfield.
It is only a few months since that extensive baths
_were begun in Edinburgh for the comfort of those
who are not able to pay dearly for that whole-
some luxury. The foundation of the new works was
laid with all due.pomp, the noble, the dignified, and
the wealthy, combining to give eclat to the proceed-
ings. We are glad to find that London is at length
awakening from its slumbers on this point, and that
the Lord Mayor, acting on the requisition of some of
our most eminent bankers and merchants—amongst
whom we find foremost the Governor of the Bank of
England, the Rothschilds, Barings, Gurneys, Wi-
grams, Hoares, _Goldsmiths, &c. &c.—has named
an early day for holding a public meeting within the
Mansion-house, "for the purpose," as they express it
in their requisition, "of promoting the establishment
of warm and cold baths and washing-houses for the
Labouring classes." We hope a numerous attendance
of those whose wealth and public spirit enable and
induce them to do good to their fellow-beings will

interest is to increase :
"
Article 5. The interest on the new stock will be pay-
able half-yearly on the Ist of January and Ist of July
each year, at the rate of 2} per cent. per annum from
January, 1841, to December, 1844 ; 'of 3 per cent. from
1845.t0 1848 ; of (per cent. from 1649 to 1852 ; of 5
per cent. in the following eight years, from 1853 to 1860;
and of 6 per cent. from 1861, as long as may be neces-
sary for the integral reimbursement of the part of the
interest unpaid during the first 12 years, returning af-
terwards to the rate of 5 per cent. until the stocks lai(
be completely redeemed."

MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.
(Before Mr. SFIADWELL, Revising Barrister.)
In the list of St. Michael le Querne, Mr. James, on
behalf of the Liberals, objected to the name of Alfred
Sirdefield, whose qualification was described in the lis
as " Ditto."

It appeared that the list sent by the overseers to the
Clerk of the Peace was correct, and that the list affix: d
to the church was incorrect. The Revising Barrister
therel ire took the register of the previous year.
Mr. Payne then contended that the objection of Mr.
James would not reach the Claimant on the register, in
which his qualificatimi was described as " freehold
house," -because Mr. James, had only objected to the
claimant on the list in which the qualification was de-
scribed-as " Ditto."
Mr. James said he did not think there was anything
in Mr. Payne's answer, as there was sufficient informa-
tion in the notice of the party that he could either object
to The register or to the list.
The REVISING BARRISTER said it did not signify whe-
ther the objection was taken to the list of voters or to the
register, for the objector had the power of objecting to
either on the same objection.:
Mr. Payne not being able to prove the claimants' quali-
fication, the name was expunged.
In the parish of St. :Swithin, London-town, Mr. Cop-
pock objected to the name of John Rogers. It appeared
that John Rogers, the elder, who was on the list since
1832, died, and his son, also called John Rogers, made a
verbal application to have his name inserted in the list,
which was done by the overseers. Mr. Coppock and
Mr. James contended that there should be a written claim
with the name of the party attached.
The REVISING BARRISTER agreed that there ought to
be a written claim, but as the overseers for whose pro-
tection that written claim was required, were satisfied
with a verbal one, he did not think he ought to expunge
the name.—The name was accordingly retained.
There were 53 objections taken to-day by the Liberals.
They sustained 42 and failed in 11. By the Conserva-
tives 19 objections, out of which they sustained 13, and
failed in 6 ; thus leaving a majority on the day of 29 to
the Liberals. Os

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. to.
(Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.)
IN THE MATTER OF BENJAMIN CARPENTER:
The insolvent, a licensed victualler, formerly of Saf-
frCin-hill, but lately a prisoner in the Queen's Bench,
'welled by his attorney for his interim order.
On his name bein called, the attorney stated that he
wai not then in attendance.
Sir C. WILLIAMS said he feared it was another of the
cases .of insolvents' getting out of prison on filing a peti-
tion in that Court, and who, the moment they were free,
absconded, and left the creditors to do the best they
might. Such cases were, unfortunately, too frequent ,•
and the case with which such fraud could be committed
was so m. estrous, that something must be done, and
that immediately, to correct it.
Mr. STURGEON observed, that considering the exten-
sive gaol delivery which had taken place such instances
were comparatively few.
Mr. Bucuatirterr, who attended for the creditors,
prayed that the insolvent's petition should be dismissed.
One of his clients was a detaining creditor, and were it
not for that Court the insolvent would now have been
safe in the Queen's Prison.
Sir C. WILLIAMS decided that the insolvent should
have half an hour allowed him, and at the end of that
period he entered the Court.
On being examined by Mr. BUCHANNAN, be stated
that the debts on his schedule were 2961. ; that a sum
of 5L 15s. 2d. for costs upon a debt was not inserted ;
that a debt of 1201. to Messrs. Meux, the brewers, was
in a former schedule inserted at between 3001. and 400/.
Sir C. WILLIAMS—Stop, stop. How comes that dif-
ference ? Insolvent—The attorney told me to put far
more than the real debt in the schedule.
Sir C. WILLIAMS said that proved that the business
of that Court ought to be transacted by respectable par-
ties. He was determined to put down the pettifogging
system which was now occasionally brought to light.
Mr. BUCHANNAN would not trouble the Court further,
as its jurisdiction in this case did not apply to debts
over 3001.
The petition, after a severe admonition to the insol-
vent, and to a friend whom he had often consulted in
court (an attorney's clerk), was dismissed.

Upon the principle, therefore, that a man should not be

a licensed victualler did not cum, within the operation of
this clause of the Act of Parliament. The conviction,
therefore, must be quashed.
The other convictions of a similar character were then
ordered to be quashed upon the same grounds.

IRELAND.
RUMOURED RESIGNATION OF LORD
HEYTESBURY.

DUBLIN, OCT. 7.—lt is very generally stated that Lord
Ileytesbury, in consequence of the domestic dfliction
under which he is now suffering, has determined to re-
sign the high and important office to which he ha been
so recently appointed. It is understood that his Excel-
lency, on the outset, had been very reluctant to under-
take the duties of Viceroy in this country, and that it
was only on the earnest solicitation of Sir Robert Peel
that he accepted the office.
It' Lord Heytesbury should resign, the selection of his
successor, under present circumstances, would be a work
of no ordinary difficulty. His recent reply to the Re
tnonstrant Synod of Ulster, and, indeed, other evidences
of the tendency of his opinions, prove that he was dis-
p,:sed earnestly to attempt a change of policy in Ireland:
We noticed last week a Tory rumour—an utterly ab-
surd speculation—that Lord Ellenborough is to be sent
to Ireland us Lord Lientenant. It is curious that several
military officers in Dublin are to-day repeating the re-
port, which they appear to believe.
MR. O'CONNELL.
We have today seen a letter from Derrynane Abbey,
dated on Friday evening. Mr. O'Connell never was in
better health. His pack of beagles are in prime condi-
tion. The Hun. and Learned Gentleman hunted them
on Thursday, amidst his native hills, and enjoyed a fine
day's sport.

BALLINASLOE FAIR.
The sheep fair closes on Saturday. Wedders were
slightly reduced, but ewes maintained the advance of the
previous day, from 3s. to 4s. per head. The entire
number of sheep sold on Friday and Saturday was
61,859. The number sold was 8,45. Total, 70,404.
Altogether, the sheep fair was a remunerating one to the
breeders. The black cattle fair commenced this day. A
reduction of prices is anticipated.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The usual weekly meeting of the Association was held
this day in the Conciliation Hall. The Hon. G. H.
Hutchinson in the chair.

.cotnpensate for any deficiency in quantity.
SEVENOAKS.—The picking in this neighbourhona
is now done, and most of the growers Wive:.
weighed off. In taking a view of the past seast
will reference to the duty, it appears that ti!!'
hops generally looked well up to the coming out Ia
.
bur, when, from some cause which has baffled the re;
searches of all the growers in the neigh'oourhood,
most serious blight took place from Underrivers
the east to the utmost limit of the county westwor,,,,,
below the hill, which has so reduced the growth.
in many instances they have not been picked at 6"1
In the more immediate vicinity of Sevenoaks ae
I.t
Westerham towns the planters have done well, but,
is computed that not more than 8 cwt. will be rri,
average growth. The mould has, as we have be°
stated, made sad havoc, still there are some verl:
choice samples left. One gentleman has sold soled
very fine Sevenoaks hops for upwards of 111., 21,1d_
Underrivers (the whole g 17
rowth) have realised
The opinion is the duty will not exceed 127,000 L.

The HON. GENTLEMAN briefly addressed the meeting,
dwelling on the absolute necessity there existed for car-
rying on the registry with vigour •at the approachieg
sessions. It would be, he considered, of the utmost im-
portant that the Irish people should be in such a po.sition
as would ettaWe tht m to return, at the next general elec-
tion such a number of itepeal.rs as would give wei4ht
to their party in the II use of Cominteis.
Mr. CREAN read the minutes of the last day's pro-
ceedings,
Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL corn cenced the proceed-
ings of the day by saying that his letters from
Derrynane stated that , the Liberator was in the
enjoyment of excellent health and epiri's. lbs
father had informed him that he had intended to
have written to the Association lest wt ek, but
he had not been ab!e to get his letter ready ie time for
post ; they would. however, have a Ling lever from him
next week.—(Cheer,.) The lion. Grencl..inan then an-
nounced the receipt of several remittances ; amongst
them 12/. from Nee. Brunsw!ck, 141. from til tsgow, an.i
51. from the Isle of Man, tr en the ltev. Mr. :lagruth. In
reference to the last remittance, he remarked that the
bad laws which had been exterminated from every part
of the British dominions, seemed to have found shelter
in the Isle of Man, fir at that moment there were to be
found on the statute books of that island penal laws of
the most stringent nature against Roman Catholics. One
of those enactments to which he referred imposed the
penalty of transportation from the island on any Catholic
priest who dared, in the exercise of his ministry, to per-
form the ceremony of marriage.—(Hear, hear.) He,
therefore, considered that the Rev. Gentleman in ques-
tion was entitled to their warmest acknowledgments for
the zeal he had shown on behalf of his country, as he
thereby incurred the risk of calling down these penalties
on him.
Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT handed in 151. from Clonmel, 501.
from Ennis, with several other sums, and read various
letters which accompanied the remittances.
Mr. M. J. O'CoNNELL handed in his usual weekly
contributions from the London wards, and stated that
the sum of 1,8601. had been subscribed by the Repealers
of that city for the present year. The Hon. Gentleman
then addressed the meeting on the usual topics in his
accustomed strain, and on concluding was loudly cheered.
Mr. M. O'CONNELL, in moving a vote of thanks to
the Learned Gentleman who conducted gratuitously the
late registry in the city of Dublin, on behalf of the re-
peelers, stated that it was the intention of the Associa-
tion to carry on the registry with vigour in all parts of
the country through the agency of the repeal wardens ;
and he had not the slightest doubt but their ultimate
hopes would be crowned with success.
Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT seconded the motion, and then
proceeded at considerable length to review the prospects
of this country and its relations with England, He con-
tended that Sir Robert Peel would attempt to carry out
the principle of divide et impera, which had been always
acted upon in this country, but he thanked God the
popular party were too powerful to allow him to do so.
The people of Ireland had set their hearts on a domestic
legislature, and were determined to have it. They knew
that without an independent Parliament English inter-
ests would necessarily predominate in the country.
Captain Broderick, Mr. Langley (barrister), and Mr.
Grattan, M.P., severally addressed the meeting.
At the termination of the proceedings, Mr. M. O'Com.
NELL announced the rent for the week to be 6301. I ls. lod.
CHAS. BIANCONI, Esq.. was then called to the chair,
and the usual vote of thanks having been passed to the
former chairman, the meeting adjourned.

WILL OF THE LATE MR. 13ECKFORD.—The wil
of this celebrated man (whose singular history is wel,
known) has been proved at Doctors'-commons. At ten
years of age he succeeded to the enormous income of
100,0001. a year. He expended 273,0001. upon Fonthill,
which he made a place of unparalleled magnificence. In
December, 1842, the greater tower fell, destroying a con-
siderable part of the mansion, which was rebuilt at great
expense. In consequence of excessive expenditure end
other circumstances, he sold this property, which was
purchased by Mr. Farquhar for 333,000/. ; and Mr.
Beckford, with his diminished fortune, retired to Bath.
His property has been sworn to as under 80,000/. The
will has been proved by the Duchess of Hamilton and
Brandon (wife of the Duke of Hamilton), and R. S.
White, Esq., solicitor to deceased. He gives to his
daughter, the Duchess of Hamilton, the bulk of his pro •
perty, and leaves his executor, Mr. White, 5001. He also
gives annuities to servants and other persons, and de-
sires to be buried near Lansdowne Tower. The will is
very short.
The Gazette of Thursday contains a notice from the
Poor-law Commissioners, appointing Samuel Hitch, E,q.,
to be an Assistant Commissioner for the period of twc nty-
one days, from the 11th of October, for the purpose of
inquiring specially into the condition and treatment of
the lunatic inmates of the workhouses at Birmingham
and Leicester.
HARRow ScuooL.—Her Majesty has been pleased
to confer upon the Rev. Dr. Wordsworth, Head Masser
of this Institution, the prebendal stall in Westminster,
vacant by the death of the Venerable Archdeacon
Bayley. Two other prebends in Westminster Abbey
are vacant, but, according to the regulations of the
Ecclesiastical Commission, are not to be filled up. An
annual residence of three months being required, Dr.
Wordsworth resigns his present post. which, therefore
becomes vacant at the end of the present year. The
present Head Master has held this important station
among the chief leaders of public education since Easter,
1836, his predecessor, Dr. Longley, having been then
elevated to the Episcopal bench, and being now Bishop
of Ripon. That Right Rev. Prelate had held the office of
