GLOBE.—lnsignifleant little islands are, of late
years, decidedly at a- premium. The Anti-Jacobin
once ventured to express an opiniOn that "it was
unlikely England should ever become a small island
in the Pacific Ocean." What appeared recently: ot
quite -SO unlikely was, that England and .Franee
might have gone to loggerheads about "a small island
in. the Pacific Ocean.' There is a story told about=
two imperceptible islets somewhere in the Firth of.
Clyde, which, it seems, rejoice in the designation of
" the Greater and Lesser butnrays." The minister of the
little flock therein-7-putting up special prayers for
their welfare, according to the manner of the
Scottish Church—delivered himself as follows
O. Lord! bless and prosper the Greater. and
LesserCumrays ; and do not, 0 Lord ! in thy Provi-
dence forget thekljacent islandspf Great Britain and
IreWid." We cannot guess why all men are dispoSed
to jibe So 'it little islands, from the Cannibal Islands to
the Channel Islands. It is certain that these (latter)
,have:. the best of it. They have thriven in the cool
shade of contempt. Nobody has thought them worth
evil handling. We except, of course, such " eccentric"
personages as M. Dupetit Thouars and Sir James
Graham ; the former of whom celebrated so inglorious
a triumph over fit Queen Pomare, and the latter would
doubtless have triumphed over rebellion in Guernsey
—had =his -warlike expedition to that powerful de-
pendengy found there the rebellion they were sent to
crush. These are amongst the evidences of the growing
importance of little islands to great statesmen. Another
is afforded by the gracious attention bestowed recently
on the Isle of Man. That slighted dependency was
regarded no more than, like Moab, till lately—as a
wash-pot. "'Talk of a rebellion in the Isle of Man--
tell me of a storm in a slop-basin." We now, how-
ever perceive the rationale of no-rebellion in the. Isle
of Man. There his been no fist to rebel against—no Cus-
tom-house myrmidons to do battle with "fair traders:"
There hate been the same good reasons`for no rebellion
in • the Isle of Man as there have been in Guernsey.
as the :Home Secretary might haVe known before-
hand, if he had known what rebellions are made. of.
Who ever,heard of rebellion where there are no im-
port dUties, and where loyalty can get drunk almost
gratis ? Happy Monads ! 'least but most felicitous
of philosophic atoms !• • ' •
Felices nimium, bona si sua norint,
Monicolm l '
Human"felicity, however is hardly ever complete..
One craving void still ached within the breast of the
Manx free:7traders. It seems there ware certain har-
bour dues yand licenses to carry on business, &c.,
imposed by*-the general or local government. The
new CustomS Act, passed last session by the Legisla-
ture, has.pnt.
,an end to -those grievances, 'and the
consequeppes that we find the grocers of Douglas,
Castletown,z„ &c , advertising " good . Muscavado
sugar at
,'26s. to 365. per`cwt. wholesale, and by
retail 3d. 4d., to sd. per lb.; refined sugar from
sd. to .4-per lb. ; congou teas, froth 2s. 3d. to 2s.
9d. per lb. ;'port and sherry wines, :from 12s. to 21e.
per dozeri;&c. &c.. It seems Dr. Bowring is
_the li.e-
neficentieiiius to whom the Manx people are, in-
debted for t this consummation of bliss, utterly un-
known elsewhere in Europe or America-of :ab-
solutely having now no fiscal impositions at all.
Men -of Man, you are too happy ! The wis-
Cloth of antiquity would suggest to you the po-
licy Of voluntarily sacrificing some part' of your
insolent good fortune ; as such unalloyed prospe-
rity_cannot fail to excite the malice of the fates.
But. the men of Man ,think; it semis, of nothing
except voting some testimonial to Dr: 13owring. CoUld
not• they establish a small sliding-scale, or trifling
stigar duties, or something or other, just detrimental
briough to their general prosperity, to prolitiate the
vrndictiVe Powers which must be regarding them
With jealous leer malign 1 :Not they. They do not
seem to think their Condition better than is
good • foi • Man. 'There' is something in the
followinethat ',reads almost ironically to the
wise merj of Europe and America. Gentle-
men,. you Like dear .clothes, and dear corn ! We
:prefer both cheap, and you kindly indulge our idiosyn=
crasy. Either hemisphere bars out the other ;" but
our rulers kindly give us free leave to prove to the
millions of both hemispheres how much wiser we are
than any of You! " There has also been acceded-to
the irlhahltarits of this island the privilege
of exporting from bonded warehouses in the
United Kingdom all foreign goods to this island,
free of duty, thus enabling us to consume such
goods - on nearly equal terms with our continental
neighbours, as well as the advantage of manufacturing
froth foreign produce goods in the' island for exporta-
tion to the markets of the surrounding countries.

A Committee, consisting of several hundreds of the most influen.
tial and respectable men that ever sild.ln the City of London, some
time since took upon themselves the onerous duty of examining
every document and circumitance ccnnected with the charges
against me, and they came to the unanimous resolution that such-
charges were groundless and unfounded. The publication of that
resolution has this day produced in a Common Ilan of unprece-
dented numbers, and of the highest respectability, a spotaneous ex-
pression of their support and of their Sympathy with a persecuted
individual.

Although the Court of Aldermen. have again refused your no.
urination, yet I fecl_that I have triumphed in your unbought suf.
ferages, and had it been possible for me•to have gone to a poll, -I
have no doubt whatever that the most extended demonstration
would have been made in my favour. But,' Gentlemen, your
Tights have been invaded, and your opinions have been contemp.
tuously treated; it remains with you to vindicate your own pri.
vileges.

I have told you upon former occasions that the time would ar.
rive when TRUTH and' JUSXICE •MUST PREVAIL; and
although the decision of this,.day has protracted that period, yet,
as I sti I live in the esteem of my fellow.citizeus, I shall not
cease to press upon you my claim to be your Chief Magistrate.
To the latest period of my existence I shall retain the deepest
sense 'Of your kindness, and, under the blessing of Divine Provi-
dence, I shall hopec'ilpon the next annual election of Lord Mayor,
to meet you, and,.to prove to you that I am, with great sincerity,
your Lithful servant,

THE FOGS ON THE RlVER.—During the. last two
days London has been visited bey fogs thickerand darker
than we usually find them itithis early period of autumn.
Some accidents have, in consequence, occurred to the
steam-boats on the river, which occasioned much annoy-
ance and considerable alarm among the passengers. One
of the boats belonging to the Diamond ctimpany, the
Gem, was run into on Wednesday morning, by the
Waterman, No. 4. Her larboard paddle-bnx was carried
away, and the wheel so damaged that she was unable to
proceed on her voyage. There were nearly 300 persons
on board, and it was most providential that no one
chanced to be in the cabins or closets attached to the
paddle-box at the moment of the accident.-was obliged to bring up alongside the Tender, off the

Tower, where she remained until the next boat belong-
ing to the same company, the Ruby, came up, which took
on her passengers. At the time of this occurrence the
Gem was going down at the rate of about five knots an
hour, the Waterman, in the opinion of a nautical. gentle-
man in the former boat, coming up at full speed, or most
certainly at a rate unsafe, considering the state of the
atmosphere. The Ruby had scarcely proceeded a mile
and a half, when she met the Topaz, another vessel be"-
longing to the same company, which hik-si.ffered from a
precisely similar accident. She had also' lost her lar-
board paddle-box, but her wheel not , hiving suffered
much damage she was able to reach her destination. She
afterwards returned to Gravesend, and came back with-
out any repairs having been effected, to the great alarm
and indignation of many of the passengers, who,. as the
captain was careful to keep the larboard side this vessel
off the shore, knew nothing of her condition. until they
were booked on board.

appeal to their labouring population FellOw-
Countrymen I. your weekly earnings will now pro-
cure for your families a larger supply of the neces-

consequently your wages are increased in value.

STANDARD.—A letter from Mr: Tyrrell, the
solicitor. of .Mr. Alderman Gibbs, has been published
by his committee, which, we are glad to find, con-
firms the• ..:opinion we expressed in yesterday's
Standard, of, the groundlessness of the insinuations
of which bp has been the victim in regard to, his
accounts ai churchwarden of St. Stephen's, Walbrook.
As we anticipated, the inquiry now before the
Master haS . substantially established the accuracy
Of these accounts; and the honesty (equally im-
peached) of the four gentlemen by whom they
were originally audited; and- but for the obstacles
vvhichbaveheen interposed to the progress •of the
inquiry by,: the plaintiffs themselves, there is no,
manner of. doubt that the report might have
been completed
_in time for
_production at the

meeting of the Livery, fixed for this day. The
prospect, however, amounting to certainty, that this
investigation would completely exculpate the
Alderman from the imputations of his accusers
has driven them half frantic with mortification.

veyors' reports of the necessary repairs, by the
parish of St: Stephen's, they had been rejected by
the, churehwardens and vestry of St. Benet's; for
although the two parishes were united by the Fire
:Act, they have had distinct churchwardens and dis-
tinct vestries. Ile might, we are told, have made a
rate ; but although he was largely in advance to the
parish, he does not appear to have done so—
reason ..sufficient, according to the Times, for
. his rejection by the Livery ! Driven from charge
to charge; convicted of having falsely asserted
-that the Alderman had already been rejected:' by
that body; and suppressing its knowledge of the
favourable,-progress of the suit (namely, that all
the payments made by the churchwarden personally
hid been declared to be correct, and that those
.which remained to be examined were such only as
.were disbursed by his subordinate officers), our Con-
temp-irary does not scruple to suggest to the Livery
that as he is now in Chancery," " they should
at any rate wait until he is cleared !" Nay it ever.
Allows the man, whose disgrace and discomfiture are
inseparable from the justification of his victim, to
publish along and scurrilous letter in its columns
in which, among other misrepresentations, he is
disingenuous enough to assert that the " accounts
are now before the Master, and, as,yet,. unexamined !"
The conduct of the Times in this matter, and its disre-
gard of that decent courtesy, from the practice of which
,the conductors of the public. press have not hitherto
considered themselvos, exempted, can surprise
none of' its , later{ readers, 'and, us last of
all. We give it joy, therefore, of so congenial a fel-
_low-labourer as Mr—Rock, assured as We ate that
When its ordinary store of Billingsgate shall become
exhausted (a.,rery remote contingency) there is one
inhabitant, at least, of the parish of Walbrook with
whom it may advantageously contract fur a fresh
supply.

From Mr.Tyrrell's letter it appears that the credit
side of the account has been disposed of, and that for
the debit side, " all the vouchers have been pro-
duced and allowed, excepting for a few items
which- do, not effect the general balance of the
printed-acc.ounts," and which have also been pro-
duced: byte plaintiff's .solicitor. But for the

WINDSOR,: FRIDAY.—The first puouc 'meet this
season of- his Royal Highness Prince Albert's pack of
hurlers took place- this morning, at Salt Mk` A goodly
number mustered on the " opening clay," aniongst whom
were Major-General Wemyss and his son. Captain Sey-
mour, Charles Seymour, Esq., Sir John 13arker,,.Edward
Jesse, Fsq., and about 26 gentlemen and furthers of the
neighbourhood. The pack now consists of 28 couples,
in beautiful condition.

I-unaccountable delay which has arisen, and which by
_Mr. Rock's guarded admission in a letter which he
has published in this day's Times, appears to have
'been occasioned by his "directions to his solicitor to
do nothing out of court, but let the cause take its
natural course" (we all know what this means),
,the report:of the Master might by this time have
heen in the hands of every member of the livery
As it is; Tyrrell informs usi that if the plaintiff
puts hitn ''to the foinial "service of the accounts,"
which he, promises to do, the inquiry may not be
completeduntil Tuesday week. Meanwhile, it is
hoped that the calumnies, of which Mr. :Alder-
man Gibbs has been the object, will have served
their turn. After heaping upon him the most
virulent abuse, and insinuating that he had
fraudulently misapplied the funds of his fellow-.
citizens committed to his keeping, the Times andits
correspondents, having learned that the vaunted
Chancery suit was not progressing as they had anti-
cipated, they are fain to moderate their rancour,
and admit that the disputed accounts may possibly
turn out to be correct! that is to say, that the
brutal clamour by which they have endeavoured to
bear down Mr. Gibbs may prove wholly unfounded.
"We have no wish (says the Times of to-day)
to assume any, the slightest matter against the
Aldernian without proof." But although our
`Contemporary Must have been aware that the
Master in Chancery had already virtually es-
tablished the correctness of the accounts, and
would, but for the vexatious opposition of the
plaintiff, have completed,Jiis report—it has the shab-
biness, the pettifogging meanness, to call uPon the
Livery to regard the issue of the question as doubtful,
and protect themselves against the possible contin-
gency of the Alderman's failure; as well as to return
to the oft-repeated and explained facts that he had re-
fused to submit his accounts to Messrs. Rock, Flight,
Howett, and,Co.; and that although churchwarden-for
20 years (that is to say, elected to that office nineteen
times in succession by his fellow-parishioners!) of the
" conjoined parishes of St. Stephen's and St. Benet's
Sherehog " he had suffered the church to fall

into a state of serious dilapidation. The Times' Was
of course aware that Mr. Aldeiman Gibbs never

.THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE AT
INVERARY:
. His Il.ciyal• Highness the Duke of Cambridge
arrived* Inverary-Castle, on Monday afternoon, ac-.
eompanied by the Hereditary Grand Duke of deck-
, lenbUrgli Stielitz, and Baron Knesebeck, preceded by
two of the Duke of Argyle's outriders, and escorted
by one hundred of his Grace's Highlanders, dressed
-in the Highland chief's uniform. On the arrival of
his Royal Highness at the Castle, a royal salute was
fired froth- Donaquaieh, which was answered by
her Majesty's cutter Shearwater, lying in
Lichfine bay, and also from a 40-pounder on the
Castle grounds. Immediately after, the Duntroon
Castle steamer arrived with a great number of pas-
Sengers from Glasgow and the intermediate stations ;
and the tovitn'oflnverary, which is but small, was so
much creWdect4hat it was with great difficulty and
much ineonirenienee lodgings could be procured. His
itOYal Ilighneas' the Duke of Cambridge intends to
Aend some days with the Duke and Duchess of
rgyle; and after the rejoicings and festivities.. on
,t-fie occasion of the arrival of the Marquis of Lorn and
his lovely bride at the Castle, -he will proceed to the
neighbouring_ hills to enjoy shooting and deer-stalk-
. ing---game: _being very plentiful at present on-. his
Grace's estate.
Earlynn Tuesday morning the Duke of Cornwall
steainer arrived with 150 of the Duke of Argyle's
yeomanry, from Kintyre, dressed in black coats,
white trousers and vests, and shortly after her the
Cardiff Castle arrived with 220 of W. F. Campbell,
Esq., of Islay's men, commanded by. John F. Campbell,
Esq., younger of Islay, and Duncan Campbell, Esq.,
Of Kilchonnan, all good-looking men, and splendidly
dressed in -the Clan Campbell's tartan. ' The effect
which this body had upon the spectators—between the
glittering'-of their Lochaber axes and the contiipal
firing which the steamer kept up since she came` in
Sight of Inverary Castle, till she came into the harbour,
was most thrilling. After landing they were marched
up to the Castle, where they were 'met by. Nay him-
-self, who seemed to be well pleased with their appear-
ance. This fine body of men had takerr. their place
opposite the grand entrance—the Ritehess and the la-
dies in the Castle.came out to the, lawn, accompanied
.by the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Argyle, and
the Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. The Duke of
Cambridge walked along the line, bowing gracefully
to the chieftains, and the whole corps, as the Islay-
men doffed their bonnets to his 41toyal .Highness.
Shortly after ten o'clock, the Islaymen were marched
back to Inverary, where they were regaled by bread
and beef, and a glass or two of their own moun-
tain dew.
About one o'clock the Kintyre yeomanry, com-
manded by Mr. Stewart, of Glenbuckie, proceeded to
Glen Shim, where they were to meet the Marquis
and Marehioness of Lorn, and about an hour after
them the Islaymen were marched by. a different route
to a remote part of the road, between Cairndow and
the Castle, where they were to welcome the young chief
and his lovely.hride ; after which they were to escort
themto the ducal residence. About five o'clock p.m.
-the report of a gun from the Shearwater cutter, informed
those in waiting at the Castle, that the cavalcade were
approaching, and, in a few minutes thereafter, they were
observed rounding the point opposite Inverary at a
rapid pace ; a few minutes longer, and the welcome
huzzas and cheering of the Islaymen, although a
considerable distance from the Castle, were heard as
the party came in view. They then moved _slowly
along, the pipersplaying the "CatriPbellS are corning'"
In case of any accident occurring, the spectators were
strictly charged not to cheer the party until the Mar-
quis and Marchioness alighted from the carriage,
which was strictly observed. After they alighted
they were vehemently cheered; which they
walked round the ranks bowing gracefully to the
chieftains and their followers, and giving all an op-
portunity of seeing them. The of Cambridge and
Mecklenburgh fitrelitz, Duke and Duchess of Argyle,
and Lady. Emma Campbell were in waiting to receive
the happy couple. - The forty children belonging to
the -eharity : school supported by the Duchess of
Argyle, and which is entirely under her Grace's
.eharge, were-in the lobby to receive the Marquis and
Marchioness of Lorn. They were dressed in white
muslin frocks; velvet bonnets trimmed with the
Campbell tartan, tartan scarfs of. the same clan, and
had white satin rosettes on the left shoulder. When
the Marchioness entered the lobby of the Castle, the
Children sting: the 64th paraphrase. Immediately
thereafter, they proceeded with Lady Lorn to her
room, strewing the stairs and pathways with bout:lids
of flowers. .
A grand triumphal arch was erected over the north
gate entrance to the Castle, which was beautifully
illuminated in the evening with Variegated lamps
hung among the branches, and over the centre of the
arch the &vice, " Failte mo, Cridhe," shone most
conspicuously. Over the staircase entrance to the
Castle was erected a beautiful and -chaste avenue of
evergreens, and round about-it were also hung varie-
gated lamps in great profusion, and among the trees
and shrubbery around the Castle, and along the
walks, there were lamps blazing in all directions. The
Castle windows were all illuminated, and the front of
the Castle wall, over the evergreen avenue, was
splendidly lighted up with elegant devices of lamps
in every variety.
_Bonfires were lighted on all the
mountains in the vicinity, whiCh illumined the hills
for miles around, and gave to the festive scene a I
Splendour and. effect that -can hardly be described.
The rejoicings are likely to be continued for several
days during the week. A grand ball is to take place
in the Castle on the 27th inst., to which a large num-
ber of the county gentlemen. are invited to attend.—

HORRIBLE CRUELTY.—THE KNACKERS YARDS.—
In the months of November and December, 1843, the
public mind was awakened by the various exosures
made by " the National Animals' Friend Society," of the
horrible cruelties in the above dens of infamy ; and we
should have thought it would have awakened the owners
of these charnel-houses to a just sense of the torture in-
flicted, by them on that noble animal, " the horse," but
such iS not the case. Mr. May, with the officers of the
Smiety, have continually kept a sharp eye on them, and
have, Fluring_ the week, succeeded in entering several of
the yards-; and the reports are truly horrible, as the
followingileolaration-will show :—I went into Parmen-
ter's horse-slaughtering yards, Belle Isle, Battle-bridge,
in company with Childs. The yard was in a horrid condi-
tion—there were nineteen living horses pent up in the
shed, and twenty-One dead horses lying about the yards,
just as they had died ' • the man told us they had not
killed a horse for the last fortnight, as more died daily
and nightly than could be skinned. Those horses were
in all imaginable positions, just as they had straggled in
the last agonies of death. A bricAkla, er, who had been
some days building a wall which fOitned one end or 4,4
yard, said it was enough to melt a heart of-stone to
see what the poor 'horses suffered.—HENßY MAT, secre-
