London, September 1,1843.
The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the " HALL
of CbMMERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this
institution.
It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a
single individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com-
munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit
worthy the metropolis of the world.
The subscription is now placed on so moderate a scale as to
be no objeet of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences
offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
existing establishments appropriated to specific branches of
trade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large
body of persons in the City of London—by parties vis►ting
London occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
from the Continent and other foreign ports.
GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman.

JOHN CATTLEY, Deputy Chairman.
N.B. A Coffee-room is now open for the accommodation of
the Subscribers.

EtALsE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS.
DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENI,

DEVON.

We the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro-
bins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scor-
butic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds
(some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in
them), that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an
improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got
completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He
had tried various sorts of medicines before taking `• Halse's Scor-
butic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated phy.
sitians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's
Scorbutic Drops" hare completely cured him, and he is now ena-
bled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From
other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's
Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public.

DEATH FROM THE KICK. 01' A HORSE.—An inquest
was yesterday held by Mr. Higgs, Deputy Coroner for
Westminster, at the Feathers, Dean-street, on the body
of William Hart, aged 43. From the evidence it ap-
peared that the deceased, who was a confirmed drunkard,
was occasionally employed as the driver of a hackney-
coach
by Mr. Welch, heckneyman, Gloucester-terrace,
Vauxhall-bridge-road, and it had been known that the
horses, having more sense that their besotted driver, had
frequently brought the coach home to the stables with
the deceased sitting on the box insensibly drunk. On
Friday morning last about eleven o'clock he went out
with the vehicle, and returned home about two o'clock
on the following morning, and some hours afterwards was
discovered lying in a stall, when ho begged to be let
alone, but made no complaint. He had half a pint of
warm beer, and remained there till six o'clock in the
evening, when being told that ho must get up, he said
his mare had kicked him. He was consequently re-
moved to the Westminster Hospital, where it was found
that several of his ribs were fractured, and he remained
in a state of collapse till about ten o'clock on Sunday
night, when ho expired; the immediate cause of death, no
doubt, being depression, arising from his exposure to the
cold so long after sustaining the injary. Verdict, "
Ac-
cidental death."

London, viz.:—The wards of Aldersgate Within and
Aldersgate Without, Bread-street, Castle Baynard,
Cordwainers', Cripplegate Within and Cripplegate
Without, Farringdon Within, Queenhithe, and Broad-
street wards. The parishes of St. Andrew, Ilolborn, St.
Bartholomew the Great and the Lesser, St. Sepulchre,
St. Dunstan's West, the precinct of Bridewell, and the
Liberty of Sergeant' Inn. Yesterday the Commissioners
sat at the Property and Income-Tax-office, 36, Basing-
hall-street, for the purpose of hearing appeals from the
parish of St. Bride, Fleet street; and this morning, at
eleven o'clock, they heard those from the inhabitants
of the parish of St. Martin, Ludgate, which closed the
appeals of tho western division of the City. The appeals
of this division have been under the management of the
first assistant-clerk, Mr. Russell. To-morrow (Thurs-
day, the 18th inst.) the Board will continue their sittings
at eleven o'clock, when they will commence with hear-
ing the appeals from the eastern division, beginning with
the ward of Bishopsgate Without; and on Friday morn-
ing, the 19th inst., Bridge Ward, Saturdays and Mon-
days the Board does not sit. The number of appellants
each day has averaged 15. The majority of the parties
who have appealed have had to so through their own ne-
gligence in not making the proper returns by filling up
the printed forms sent them by the assessors.

CAUTION TO Nurses.—An inquisition was taken
before Mr. Baker, on Saturday, at the Three Loggerheads,
Virginia-row, Bethnal-green, on the body of a male infant,
(newly born), who died shortly after some gin had been ad-
ministered to it by the nurse attending on the mother. Lydia
Carlin, a married woman, of No. 2, Turk's-row, Bethnal-
green, said that the deceased was born on Thursday last,
about two o'clock. Witness was delivered by a female ac-
coucheur. Shortly after, as it was moaning and appeared
distressed, witness remarked to a female named Eliza.ueth
Jolliff, who was attending her, whether she could not give
the child something to sooth it. The nurse said that there
was some gin in a bottle, which she would give it. She then
mixed about a quarter of a teaspoonful of the gin with some
moist sugar, which was administered to it. The deceased
almost lost its breath, and bled at its mouth. A surgeon
was immediately sent for, who ordered a warm bath. De-
ceased was put into it, but it died in a quarter of an hour
after. Four months ago she was frightened by two dogs, and
has not been well since. The Coroner observed that they
ought to have called in a medical man, who would have re-
commended what was proper to be administered. Mr.
Peter Burchell, No. 1, Kingsland-road, surgeon, stated that
he found the deceased in a convulsive state, he ordered some
carminative medicine and a warm bath. There was blood
upon its bedgown. Gin given to a child so young might bring
on convulsions and death in a short time. Such a stimulant
ought not to be administered by nurses, as there is great danger
in its application. Elizabeth Jolliff stated that she was ex-
tremely sorry for the death of the child, and that she
would undertake not to give gin again. The Coroner
here read the law, from Carrington and Payne, appli-
cable:—Persons, not of a medical education, who should
administer medicine, and death ensue, were guilty of man-
slaughter ; and gave several decisions of Judge Bailey. He
then directed the jury to return an open verdict, as a magis-
trate might take a different view of the evidence. He did not
think the jury would be disposed to send the case to another
tribunal. Verdict—" That the deceased was born alive, and
died within five hours of its birth, but from what cause there
was no satisfactory evidence." The Coroner told the nurse
that she was indebted to the kind consideration of the jury for
the verdict, and remarked that had the case been stronger, he
would have had no difficulty in sending her for trial.
STEEPLE CHASE AT CHEAM.—A steeple chase
match for 501. a side took place on Thursday, at Cheam, be-
tween Mr. G. Brettell and Mr. Hopkins, two gentlemen well
known in the sporting world, which excited a good deal of in-
terest. The terms of the match were, for Mr. Brettell to ride
his horse, the Count, against a horse of Mr. Hopkins, known
as the Daring Ranger, over four miles of fair hunting country,
the winning flag being pitched upon Morden common, at the
back of the Lord Nelsen Inn. Cheam. The start took place at
White's farm, .Kingston, about half-past three o'clock, Mr.
Hopkins getting a slight advantage at the start, which he kept
for a short distance, Mr. Brettell, however, being well up.
They continued in this situation ever the first two or three
fences, the country being dreadfully heavy and the fences diffi-
cult. At the Alorden river Mr. Brettell went over the ford and
got safely through. Mr. Hopkins, however, put his horse
at it, though in a slanting position, and he failed to
accomplish the leap and went into the middle of the stream,
unhorsing his rider, who got a complete ducking. lie
speedily remounted him, and in two or three fields was again
well up with his antagonist. The race was now very interest-
ing; the horses were almost neck and neck, and going at racing
speed, and they both came together to the grip way which car-
ries off the land water from the whole of this neighbourhood,
and which from the heavy rains was a somewhat formidable
obstacle to encounter, being upwards of seven feet deep, and
nearly thirteen feet over, Both horses, however, cleared it in
good style, and up to the last flag the horses appeared so equally
matched that it was difficult to form an opinion which would
be the winner. At the last fence, however, Mr. Brettel made
a swerve to the left, cleared the hedge first, and thus got the
start, which enabled him to bring his horse in the winner by
two or three lengths. It was understood that a good deal of
money changed hands on the occasion.— Cambridge Advertiser.
LORD LTNEDOCII AND TIIE DEACON OF THE

FLESH 119. —This illustrious Nobleman was more celebrated
for his doings than his sayings. Of the latter, however, one
uttered in the battle-field will long live in military history—
" Spare your powder, my lads, but give them plenty of steel."
Another at the festive board, although well known to moat of
our local readers, we believe has not yet appeared in print.
It was on the occasion of the entertainment given here, on
his return from the Peninsula, by the Trades of Perth ; and,
in the course of the evening, when the good cheer had begun
to remove .the restraint which the rank and fame of the dis-
tinguished guest had at first imposed on his entertainers—the
Deacon of the Fleshers, getting familiar with the gallant Lord,
ventured to ask in his most coaxing manner, " Come, noo,
General, hoo mony men may ye hae killed wi' your own hand?"
" Ah, Deacon," was the ready reply, " I have never shed so
much blood in my life as you !"—Perth Courier.
THREE VALUABLE HORSES BURNT TO DEATH.—
About nine o'clock on Monday night the stable, coach-house,
loft, and other outbuildings, the property of Mr. Hollis, sur-
geon' Lewisham village, about two miles from Greenwich,
took fire, and being old wooden buildings, were speedily con-
sumed, together with three favourite and valuable horses, har-
ness, &c. A plentiful supply of water was at hand, and the
destructive element was subdued in less than an hour. The
groans of the poor animals were exceedingly distressing, but
such was the fury of the flames, that it was impossible to ex-
tricate them.
A HINT FOR TIM CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—
Before the Court proceeded to business on Saturday morning,
the Lord Chief Justice Clerk stated, that he had been informed
that money had been received for admission to the Court by the
door-keepers, and that a gentleman on the preceding day had
been refused admission because he would not pay for it. His
Lordship strongly deprecated the practice of demanding or
taking money for admittance into an open Court ; and inti-
mated his determination to visit with punishment any door-
keeper whe should be found guilty of doing so.—Edpiburgh

DOG-FIGITTING ON THE SABBATH

MORNING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Allow me to make known, through the itn-
partlal medium of your excellent journal, that dog-
fighting is carried into execution in defiance of the
law on Sabbath mornings during the stilly hour
of Divine service, when the humane and
Christian portion are supplicating at the throne
of mercy. The " National Animals' Friend So•
ciety" should investigate this in the neighbour-
hoods and vicinities of Southwark and Clerkenwell,
and one or two exposures would, I have no doubt,
relieve the inhabitants from such disgusting nuisances.

A HINT TO GAS COMPANIIIS.—At Sheffield, thss
charge is 4s. 2d. per 1,000 feet ; Leeds, 6s. Bd. ; Liverpool,
6s. ; Cheltenham, Glasgow, and Bradford, 7s. ; Paisley and
Newcastle, 7s. 6d. The effect which lowering the price of an
article like gas has upon its eonsumption was, perhaps, diver
better exemplified than in the statistics of Manchester, when.
in 1833, the charge was 10s. 6d. per 1,000 feet, the profits then.

STEEPLE CHASE NEAR 13RIGHTON.—A steeple chase,:
which excited great interest in the sporting world of Brighten,.
took place on Monday near the northern entrance to the Clay-.
ton tunnel on the London and Brighton Railway. The mateh
originated oat of an after-dinner conversation between Sir
Arthur Chichester and Captain Bush* (of the 7th Hussars)
as to the comparative merits of their hunters, and bets to e
considerable amount were made on the event. The principalt
points of attraction were the passage of a gate at the start, and.
a double fence near the close of the race. Sir Arthur Chiches—
ter's horse refused the gate several times, and went over the
fence in a bungling manner ; while Captain Bushe took both
in good style, and beat his opponent by about half-a-slozers.
lengths.
THE ROYAL STAG HOUNDS.—At eleven o'clock
on Monday a field of upwards of 100 had assembled, ineluding
Lord Norbury, Messrs. Worley, Pole, Stainforth, Warde.
and Vyse, and several military officers from Windsor, met at
Winkfield church ; and a slight thaw having commenced, the'
Richmond hind was uncarted (after waiting for an hour) at
Broekhill, between twelve and one o'clock, going away t,s,
Hawthorn-hill, doubling to the left to Jealous-hill, on to.
Weston-mill, and thence back again to Hawthorn. The hind
then made for Brick-bridge, crossing for Bray-common,.
swimming over the Cut, and down to 1 hatchen-end ; thence
away for llollyport, doubling back through the woods to White
Waltham, and was there taken near the residence of 11r. Pole,
after a run of about an hour and a half. The country in many
places was exceedingly hard from the frost during the night,
and somewhat dangerous to horse and rider.
DHATir FROM GLANDERS.--The Paris Moniteur
Monday quotes the following from a letter from Careassonne :
--" M. Basle, veterinary surgeon of the 9th Chasseurs, who
was married only three weeks since, died on the 31st of'
December of glanders, caught while attending a horse ill of
that disease. It appears that the contagion of this cruel
malady was communicated to the olfactory organs through the
indiscreet zeal of M. Bad& who, in desiring to investigate all
the symptoms of the sick animal, had the imprudence to smells
and inhale the odour arising from the matter discharged from.
the horse's nostrils!" The Moniteur is in error in supposing
that deaths from glanders are by any means uncommon. It is.
scarcely a year since there were two patients affected by this.
horrible disease in one of our metropolitan hospitals, and a third,.
in attending upon these originally affected, contracted the
malady. All three died.

PROMULGATION OF THE STATUTES.—AOOOrdiDg
to the resolutions of both Houses of Parliament, a scheme was
recently adopted for the promulgation of the statutes, and from.
a return made in the early part of last session, it appears that
in the year 1841 no fewer than 4,135 Acts were sent out to.
public offices, to cities, counties, and boroughs, to Sheriffs, and
other persons. It seems that 1,202 statutes wero sent to the
two Houses of Parliament-421 to the House of Lords, and
681 to the House of Commons. Others to Sheriffs, clerks or
the peace, &c., as well as to persons in Wales and Scotland.
Lord Northwick has sufficiently recovered from his
late serious indisposition, to be able to resume his accustomed
exercise, and personally to return the visits of his many anxious
friends. Cheltenham Looker-on.
THE WEST CALDER MURDER.—Certaill illfOrMatiOll
was received here on Saturday, that Bryce had been appre-
hended in Maxwelltown, Dumfries, on the preceding day. He
had been come up to by a gentleman while going into Maxwell-
town, who, entering into some conversation with him, and
closely remarking his person and dress, felt satisfied he was the•
individual advertised for as the suspected murderer of Geddes.
The gentleman immediately gave information to the police, and
Bryce was soon afterwards in safe custody..-Caledonian.
Mercury.
THE LINENDRAPERS' INSTITUTION.—The annuaL
ball in aid of the funds of this institution, held at Willie's=
rooms last night, assembled a party of nearly 600 persons, and.
the stewards, emulating each other in the benefits they could.
render, excited an interest unequalled by any previous ball..
Jullien's band was in attendance. The refreshments, suppliedf
by Mr. Younghusband, gave all the satisfaction that could be
desired. It is gratifying to observe the success of this benevo-
lent institution, inasmuch as it was one of the first of the
various trades which sought to introduce the establishment of
funds to be administered to individuals in particular communi-
ties, without the humiliating feelings which must everjaitend
the receipt of charity. There is now a fund of some thousands
o f pounds exceeding the permanent sum required by the rules.
DEATH FROM IlynaornoniA.—Between four and
five o'clock on Monday afternoon last, a lad, named Enos
Hayward, 17 years of age, a stable-boy, in the service of
Mr. Warwinsh, of Carshalton, Surrey, was admitted into
St. Thomas's Hospital suffering from hydrophobia. He was
brought to the above Institution from Carshalton in a ily„
and while being assisted to alight he was seined with a pa-
roxysm of the disease, barking loudly like a dog, and attempt-
ing 4.3 bite the persons near him ; so exceedingly violent were
his struggles, that it required the exertions of four strong
men to carry him up into George's Ward, and he was obliged
to be held down in bed by main force. During the intervals
of the succession of attacks he was assailed with, he was per-
fectly rational, and frequently remarked that the attendants
need not be afraid, as he would not hurt any of them ; he also
said lie had no doubt he should be better by the morrow, and
seemed to be totally unconscious of the fatal nature of the.
malady he was afflicted with. Every possible attention was
paid him, but he expired at about eleven o'clock the same night..
lie had, it appears, been bitten about six weeks ago by a dog
that had strayed into the stable-yard; the wound was very
slight, and, healing quickly, no further notice was taken of it..
During Sunday last he complained of sharp pains in the neck
and a peculiar uneasiness about the throat, and on Monday last
unequivocal symptoms of the frightful disease ho was suffering
, under indicated themselves.

MELANcnom- SUICIDE.—An inquest was held yes-
terday at the Baker's Hall, llarp-lane, Tower-street.
before Mr. Payne, on the body of Mary Anne Schafer,
aged thirty. George Evans, City police-constable, 503,
said, that 011 Saturday evening last he was on duty in.
Trinity-square, Tower, when ho received informatiora
that the deceased was lying on the ground in Savage-
gardens, and was in want of immediate assistance. Her
found her in an insensible state, and a phial and cup,
both of which had recently been emptied of essential oit
of almonds, by her side. Witness carried her to Mr.
Ager, surgeon in Trinity-square, where means for her
recovery were instantly adopted. Restoratives, however,
were of no avail, and she died in about an hour. Wit-
ness found in her pocket a letter addressed to a very
respectable ship-broker. Witness believed the deceased
to be an " unfortunate woman." The Coroner read the.
letter alluded to by the witness, and it appeared that the
deceased and the person referred to had been on terms
of intimacy for several years. The object for which it
was written was to get money, and deceased complained
of having been abandoned. It stated that he was them
cause of what she was going to do. Mary Keene, of No.
34, Fleet-lane, Smithfield, said that deceased had resided
in her house. On Saturday last she spoke much and
very feelingly of Mr. —, and said that she was that
day going to carry him a letter. Deceased was very
much attached to him. Mr. —, senior, said that his
son, being desirous of breaking off the acquaintance,
offered her 31. a few days ago, on condition that he
should be subject to no further pecuniary claim ; she re-
jected the offer, and since then he had not seen her.
She drank the poison near his door. Verdict—Tem-
porary insanity.
INQUESTS IN CASES OF SUDDEN DEATIL—At the
conclusion of an inquest held yesterday before Mr. Higgs,
Deputy-Coroner for Westminster, the foreman of the jury,
addressing the Coroner, wished to know if he was sot going
to hold an inquest upon the body of Mr. Stephenson, the,
vestry clerk of St. Margaret's parish, who had on the pre-
vious day suddenly dropped down dead in the vestry, whiles
in the act of handing round the book containing the misntess
of that body for their signatures? The Coroner, in reply,.
said ho certainly had heard of the circumstances attending
Mr. Stephenson's death, and he did not think that therm
was any necessity for troubling a jury, as his information&
was that he had died in the presence of a very full vestry*
and there was no suspicion whatever of his having takers
anything to destroy himself. The foreman said that he was
always led to believe that the Coroner had no option in all
cases of sudden death bat to bold an inquest. The Coronet
observed that if he was as fully satisfied in eases of sudden
death as in that he never thought of holding an inquest. Tho
foreman thought in every case, let the party be rich or peor, it
should be investigated; if not, such conduct on the part of thee
Coroner was open to severe animadversions, and it was evens
then rumoired in that neighbourhood that the Coroner would
not hold an inquest upon Mr. Stephenson, because by so act-
ing he would obtain a higher fee than that awarded to him by
the county. The Coroner remarked, that a prospect of a re-
ward, however great, should never bias him to a dereliction of
his public duty; and concluded, by saying that if he heard from
other quarters any dissatisfaction expressed of no inqury being
made as to the decease of Mr. Stephenson, he should issue hi*
warrant for the summoning of a jury forthwith.
NIGEIT POAC DINO.—ROC HESTER, JAN. 1.5.—Th0
neighbourhood of the Earl of Darnley's estates, at Cobham, is
greatly infested by poachers, although the exertions of th©
trustees have lately thinned the fraternity. This morning el
notorious character, named James Goodhew, was brought tie.
fore the Magistrates, charged with trespassing upon land Ira
the occupation of Mr. William Lake, at Chalk, on Wednesday
night last, with wires, in the pursuit of game. The prisoner,
who had been convicted of poaching twice before, pleadel
guilty to day poaching, but not guilty to night poaching.
Thomas Capps, gamekeeper to the Darnley estates, said
on Wednesday evening last I saw the prisoner on William
Lake's land. Saw him set wires for hares. It was about
a quarter past five in the evening. I had found the wire*
about half an hour before. They bad fallen down, and 11
went into the wood a few roods distant, and lay down to
watch. The prisoner came and set the wires up. It wet
so dark that he could only find them by kicking about. I rani
out and caught him, and searched him, and, as he resisted, I
let him go, and afterwards hail him apprehended. I know it
was past five o'clock. The Bench said that the question tamed
on whether or not it was night, and, on consulting the Al.
manack, found that the son set on that day at four minutes past
four o'clock. The Bench convicted the prisoner, who pro.
raised, if let off, not to repeat the offence. The Rev. G. Davi*
told him that he thought it was not in his power to refraei:
from poaching. He had as great a taste for it as geanntlfsmen.
