digan, a motion was made in the Court of Common
Pleas to enter up judgment as in the case of a non-
suit. In support of the motion, Mr. Sergeant Channell
produced the affidavit of the Earl of Cardigan, denying
most distinctly that he had been guilty of the imputations
charged in the letter of :Lord William Paget, or that
he had ever given authority to any person on his behalf
to interfere with any of the witnesses subpoenaed to ap-
pear on the part of the plaintiff. There were similar
affidavits from Mr. Powell, the solicitor of the Earl of
Cardigan, and his chief clerk. The Court granted the
rule.
At Worship-street, John Davis, alias James Blythe,
Henry Robinson, and George Hirt, were brought before
Mr. Bingham for the completion of the former charges,
and to answer a fresh charge of burglary committed in
the warehouse of Messrs. Wood and Co., warehousemen,
in Red Lion-court, Watling-street. There are now five
distinct, extensive, and cleverly executed burglaries
clearly established against the prisoners. They were
fully committed to Newgate for trial ; Hirt on One
charge of receiving, and Robinson upon three, and Davis
upon five charges of burglary.
Samuel Glass, conductor of Prices omnibus, running
from Chelsea to Islington, was charged before Mr.
Rawlinson, at Marylebone, with having conducted him-
self in a shameful and outrageous manner towards Mr.
David Landsberg, a gentleman residing at 131, George-
place, St. John-street-road, Clerkenwell. Mr. Rawlin-
son sentenced the defendant to two months' imprison-
ment with hard labourWllie House of Correction.
In the Court of Excise Samuel Massey Gilbert,
keeper of refreshment-rooms, No. 6, New Basing-
hall-street, City, was charged with selling spirits
without a license. There were four informations against
the defendant, and the penalties were laid at 4001.
The Court commented on the injustice done to the
licensed victualler by the proceedings of the defendant,
and inflicted two fines of 101. each. Two other informa-
tions were withdrawn.
At Marlborough-street, Thomas Sergeant, a person
holding a confidential situation in the employ of Messrs.
Tucker and Co., the extensive tallow and wax chandlers,
in South Molton-street, was brought before Mr. Hard-
wick for final examination, charged with having carried
on a system of embezzlement for a considerable period.
It was arranged, with consent of counsel on both sides,
that the prisoner should be fully committed on all the
charges, but should be remanded pro forma for a day or
two before the sessions commenced, in order to afford
him additional facilities for meeting his trial.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
MY motives for not proceeding to the ballot at
the election of this day have been already made known
to you, and Major Oliphant was without opposition duly elected
to fill the existing vacancy in the Court of Directors.
I now beg most earnestly to solicit your votes and interest
for the next vacancy which may take place, and I seize this op-
portunity very gratefully to acknowledge the kind assistance of
fly numerous friends, fully relying on their adherence to soy
cause at the next election.
I have the gratification to state that the augmented support I
have already received by the spontaneous assurance of numerous
Proprietors, now released from their engagements, with the ac-
cession of many influential parties warmly interested in my suc-
cess, inspire a perfect conviction that the attainment of the object
of my ambition and anxious solicitude for many years, will only
hi deferred until the occurrence of another vacancy.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your very faithful servant,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
ON a full consideration of my present position,
as a Candidate for a Seat in the Direction of your af-
fairs, I have determined, under the advice of the friends by
'whom I am supported, not to solicit you?' suffrages en the first
vacancy which may occur.
I pledge myself, however, to proceed to the ballot upon any
subsequent vacancy, and, adverting to the fact that no less than
Ten Elections have taken place since a Director has been se-
lected from the East India Company's Civil Service, I venture
to hope that my claims, as a member of that body, may meet
with your favourable consideration.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble servant,

London, September 1, 1843.
The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the " HALL
of COMMERCE" 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 object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences
Offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; aid the
ri oar d 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 visiting
t-ondon occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
from the Continent and other foreign ports.

The following letter has been addressed to Mr. Cabburn
from I. Rogers, Esq., the present Mayor of Stafford
" Dear Sir,--At the request of Mr. Thorpe, I send you the
"companying statement, being anxious to recommend your
Medicine to others, and I could furnish you myself with many
similar testimonies to induce persons afflicted with rheumatism,
gout, lumbago, &c., to avail themselves of the surprising effects
°lyour valuable discovery.—l am, dear Sir, yours, respectfally,
" S. ROGERS, Mayor of Stafford."

"To Mr. CABBURN,
"Dear Sir —I was induced, in August last year, to try a
bottle of your Oil, in consequence of the excruciating pain I
felt in my hips, and which I had continued to feel for seven or
eight years, so much that at times I could not walk, and at
Others I have not been able to help myself from the loss of
strength and agonising pain in my shoulders. But, thank God,
I have now found a certain cure for my affliction in your very
valuable Oil. Dear Sir, make what use you please of this letter,
and if any name is made to me, I will personally, or by"letter,

PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE POST-OFFICE.
The Lords of her Majesty's Treasury having decided,
in accordance with the recommendations of the Select
Committee on Postage, to increase the public accommo-
dation by an extensive change in the administration of
the Post.office department of the public service, have
intimated their intention of devoting the whole of the
surplus revenue in carrying out the remaining details of
the penny postage measure.
Accordingly Lord Viscount Lowther, acting in con-
formity with these instructions, has caused to be estab-
lished a permanent Board, consisting of the heads of the
executive departments, for the purpose of arranging
the working of the plan.
The following, we are informed, are among the prin-
cipal propositions recommended for adoption as speedily
as possible :
Prepayment in cases of all inland correspondence by
the medium of stamps ; the institution of the more fre-
'quent dispatch and delivery of London district post
letters, and the abridgment of the letter-carriers' walks,
so as to facilitate both, and an increase in the number of
officers tantamount to the projected extension of the
duties of the office.

These preliminary measures, we hear, are to come
into operation early in the spring. The April quarter is
named, but the period is not yet definitively fixed.
Other, and still more important alterations have been
suggested, and will form part of ,th racticeiVebh 41,
the introductory portion above 5 betChaftnv
duced, the; chief of which, we understand, are the fol-
lowing
The separation of the inland from the foreign corre-
spondence, so us to secure simplicity in all the working
arrangements, by obtaining a uniform and rapid deli-
very of all inland letters inward; the eventual consoli-
dation of the two corps of letter-carriers--general and
twopenny t the establishment of additional receiving
houses in the metropolis ; the increase of arrivals from
the provinces by the morning mails, and the establishment
of post-offices throughout the United Kingdom in pro-
portion to the density of the letter-writing population.
As it is manifest that the extensive alterations above
enumerated are calculated materially to affect the in-
comes of all officers connected with the department,
whose salaries depend, in a great measure, upon their
realisation of fees :and gratuities from the public, for
what is called the " early delivery," we are informed
that it is in contemplation to substitute fixed salaries in
lieu of the present sliding scale of wages, proportioned
to the length of service and amount of duty performed
by each officer. It is estimated by Colonel Maberly
that the carrying out of this proposition alone will in-
volve an additional outlay of 4,5001. per annum, and
that the adoption of the whole of the projected altera-
tions will absorb the whole of the present net revenue.

[lt to high time certainly to project improvements in
the Post-office. We will give only one instance of mis-

management, to show how sluggish the authorities are,
though all around them are moving at railroad speed.
An inland mail, bringing letters from Ireland to any part
of England, reaches London about one o'clock, r.M.
The letter remains at St. Martin's-le-Grand till three ;
those for the West-end aro transmitted to Charing-cross
Post-office, where they remain another hour, and are
not delivered till half-past tour, thus occupying three
hours and a half in the delivery, or about the time re-
quired to convey them 100 miles by railroad.—wED. #Sitn.l

FATAL FALL.--.SINGULAR TREATMENT OP THE
SUTFXSZA.—Yesterday, Mr. Payne held an inquest at the
parish school-room, St. Mary Axe, en the body of Mrs.
Elisabeth Moore Murdock Wallis, aged 22, wife of Mr.
William Wallis, bill-broker, or No. 40, in the above street.
It appeared by the evidence that the deceased was subject
to fits, and that on Monday night last, whilst ascending the
kitchen otairs, she fell down and fractured the base of her
skull. The cook and the groom immediately ran to her
assistance, and carried her up stairs to. bed. Her temples
were bathed with vinegar, but she remained senseless, and
was not heard to speak from the time that she fell. Neither
the deceased's husband ner Miss Rampling, a young lady
then on • visit, thought it necessary to send for medical
assistance, and allowed the deceased to remain in bed in
the same state until the following morning at eight o'clock.
Mr. Brown, surgeon, was then sent for, but deceased was be-
yond recovery, and died in three hours. Mr. Wallis, the
deceased's husband, was sent for by the Coroner, in order that
he might explain :his reason for not procuring earlier medical
aid. Vpon his arrival he,Airthgt his wife frequently reco-
vered ken her fits without the assistance of a surgeon. He
spoke to ber_trige tourseftlfenight, but she gave him no
answer. He, however, di not 'think that there was any dan.
ger. Ho considered she was suffering from a fit, and not from
the effeeta of the fall. One of the witnesses said that the de.
ceased bled from the ear, and the Coroner remarked that such
clear proof of injury to the skull should have shown the impor-
tance of instant medical relief. The Jury returned a verdict of
Accidontal death," and added, that they felt much surprise
and regret that a surgeon should not have been called within
nine hours after the accident. _ _

AIBTROPOLITAN BENEFIT SOCIETIES' ASYLUM....
The usual half-yearly meeting of the members of the above
excellent Institution, was held last night, Cat the London Me.
chanics' Institution, Southampton-buildings. The chair was
taken by Richard Ramadan, Esq., who presided in an admirable
manner, and to the great delight and satisfaction of the audience.
The Secretary read the Report, which was of the most cheer.
ing description. It announced a considerable increase in the
amount of receipts during the last year, and the prospect of a
speedy extinction of the debt, which had already been reduced
more thi one-half. It described in glowing terms, the cora•
fort and protection enjoyed at the Asylum in Ball's•pond by the
numerous inmates, and announced that the time was fast ap.
preaching when the two wings might be added to the Asylum.
After some excellent speeches from the Chairman, Mr. gowles
(the for.nder), and other gentlemen, the Report was unani-
mously adopted. The Committee for the next year was then
appointed, and the auditors were also nominated. The whole
conclnncciioodd with what was, doubtless, the most interesting part
of the roceedings, namely, the announcement of the result
of the (which, we ought to have mentioned, had gone on
for two tours previous to the presentation of the Report) for
the elecesa of three inmates of the Asylum. The scrutineers
announced the number of votes which each of the candidates
(34 in number), had received, and the result was, that the
election had fallen on Jahn Frembly, 3,716 votes ; William
W ells, 2,883 votes; and John Chamness, 1,703 votes. The
successful candidates (with the exception of the last, who was
bedridden) presented themselves on the platform, and expressed
their v--tn acknowledgments. They both seemed very re-
speet&i..kand very venerable old men, and were greatly cheered.

lICENDIART FIRES.—The Hereford Journat Of
irday gives the particulars of three incendiary fires in the
sty of that town ; the first case occurred on the farm of
'Lewis. of Brinsopp ; the second at Lye Court, Brilley, in

of 8, Vere-street, Clare-market, deposed that the de•
was her sister. Her (deceased's) husband was Mr.
Bregan Donelley, of the firm of Noble and Co., of 6,
er.square, City. He had separated from her four times
consequence of her excessively 'dissipated habits. On the
It time, which:was.the 4th of December, she was very tipsy,
he kissed her, saying, " Betsey,:if you don't alter, Kshall
as away with myself." From that time he has never been
_eni or heard of, and it is feared he has committed suicide.
The next day he sent her a sovereign, but when that was ex-
Nended she came to live with witness, as she was utterly desti-
te. She had pawned everything she had, and on the day she
troyed her life sold her stays to purchase spirits. On that
ning she had obtained an order from the Strand Union to
into the workhouse, while they sought for her husband.
the following morning she heard that the body of the de-
.3(l had been taken out of the river, and she had no doubt
did it under great excitement, produced by drink and her
ad of the workhouse. After a short deliberation the jury
rned a verdict, ,6 That the deceased destroyed herself while
state of temporary insanity, produced by excessive drinking."
TASTE FOR WINE.—We see from a return which
has just been handed to us by a friend, that the consumption of
Madeira wine is rapidly . increasing in this country. The
quantity which paid duty in 1543 was 68,906 gallons, against
51,513 in 1842, showing an increase of 17,393 gallons in a
year, in which the consumption of most other kinds of wine
decreased. If the Portuguese Ministers possessed common
sense(which, however, is a very uncommonpossession amongst
Ministers of State) they would have availed themselves of this
change in the public taste to the utmost, by agreeing to a
commercial treaty which would have given them the command
of the British market for the wines of Portugal and its posses-
' sions....Lieerpool Times.
