FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday a fatal acci-
dent occurred in the London-road, near the Elephant and Castle, tor
a young man named Henry Christmas, aged twenty-three years, It
appears that he was employed in watering the roads, and whilst
seated on the front of the cart, by some means he was jolted off
into the road, and fell beneath the near wheel of his loaded •e.
hicle, which passed over the lower part of his body. He was con-
veyed to Guy's Hospital, where he expired in a few hours after his
admission.

TIIE REPEALED DUTIES.—The Commissioners of
the Customs have had under notice the list of articles annexed to
their minute of December 31, 1833, which were required to bt
deposited in warehouses, approved of as special security, or in
specially and approved vaults or floors at the legal quays ; and as
many of these articles arc now free of duty, or subject to low
duties only, the Board have considered it advisable to amend such
list, and have therefore resolved that the following list of articles,
to be in future warehoused at the legal quays on the banks of the
river, in warehouses of special security, or in specially approved
rooms, floors, or vaults only, be substituted for that contained in the
minute above quoted—viz., agates (set), almond paste, bead
of all sorts, cambrics, candles (spermaceti and wax), playing.
cards, carmine, china ware or porcelain, crystal (cut or manufac
tured), cinnamon, clocks, cloves, coffee, corks (made), dice, enamel
essences of all sorts, extracts of all sorts, feathers (ostrich) dressed
feathers (all dressed), flowers (artificial), garnets (set), gauze of
all sorts, ginger (preserved), glass manufactures (all excepting
bottles covered with wicker, or of green or common glass), hats and
bonnets of all sorts, jewels, pearls, and precious stones (set), inkle
(wrought), lace of all sorts, mace, mercury, mead,, or metheglin,
musical-boxes, nutmegs, opium, oil (chymical, essential, or per.
fumed of all sotts), paper (all sorts, excepting brown), pepper of
all sorts, plate of gold or silver, platting (of bast, cane, horsehair,
and straw), powder (brass), ditto (bronze), quinine (sulphate of),
Naples soap, silk manufactures, or millinery and silk, and other
materials; spirits, cordials, and strong waters of all sorts, succades,
and confectionary, sugar (refined), (cigars, snuff, tea, and tobacco,
in places specially sanctioned by the Board for that purpose), thread
of all kinds, truffles, vanillas, vellum, watches, Cologne water, and
wine of all sorts ; in addition to all goods warehoused "for exporta.
tion only," and all goods subject to ad valorem duties of 151. per
cent. or upwards. This order is to take effect from the present
time, and is of very considerable importance to the proprietors of
bonding warehouses on the banks of the river, in whose regard the
privileges of housing goods was much more limited than it will now
be, and also to the several deck companies, who hithPrto alone had
the privilege of housing under bond many of the articles included
in the revised list.

A KNIFE AND FORK JERY.—Few things have
pleased us more than the announcement that " so unexpected was
the verdict of acquittal of Lord Viscount Dillon at the Surrey Seer
sions," in the turnpike ease, that after the discharge of the jury,
the " twelve gentlemen, at the instigation of his Lordship's soli.
citor, proceeded to a neighbouring tavern, where they were most
liberally treated." We are delighted to hear it. The fact proves
that there is gratitude in law ; that attorneys have bowels. We
think that the example so wisely set by Lord Dillon's solicitor
might be followed, to the exceeding comfort of all men summoned
on juries. We would propose that, in all civil actions, the two
parties should each send in to the jury.box a bill of fare, to be
served up for dinner by the winning party. Thus, instead of the
jury being compelled to listen to the witnesses, and to the shock-
ing sophistications of counsel on both sides, they would only have
to judge of the relative excellence of the feast promised by either
party, and to return their verdict accordingly. Whereupon they
might retire to a neighbouring tavern, and, like Lord Dillon's
jury—drink the glorious institution of " Trial by Roast and Boiled."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 24.
THE CIRCUITS.

The Hon. Mr. VESEY presetiteCliietitions from several
places in Ireland, praying for the equalising of the time of

MALTESE CURRENCY.

Dr. BOWRING begged to inquire into • the cause of the
omissions of important correspondence in the papers on the.
Maltese currency?
Mr. CARDWELL said the correspondence would be forth.
coming.

STOCK-IN-TRADE BILL.
Sir J. GRAHAM moved the second reading of the Stock-
n-Trade Bill.

Sir R. INGLIS presented two petitions against this Bill.
I'le hoped the 1101150 would not suppose that he was giving any
unnecessary trouble in making a few observations upon this
13ill, which was one that had been renewed every year for the
last five or six years, and had the effect of altering the existing
law in reference to the mode of taxing property for the relief
of the poor. The object of the Bill was to suspend the opera-
tion of the law. He thought it better that, instead of bring-
ing in a 13111 every year on this subject, they should at once in-
troduce a Bill which would effectually decide the question. The
general question of rateability should be entered into. He
thought that the title of the Bill was very inadequate to ex-
press the objects of the Bill, as it merely affected the interests
of tithe owners.

Sir J. GRAHAM was sorry to occupy the House on a
matter of so much difficulty. He had paid the utmost atten-
tion to the case which his Right Hon. Friend had brought for-
ward. His Right Hon. Friend had still more confused this ques-
tion, by mixing with it another equally abstruse and complicated.
Ile recollected some instances in which this question was raised
before a judicial authority, arid a decision was called for upon
the question as to whether stock in trade should be taxed; and
that decision was against taxing that description of property,
and it was after that that an Act of Parliament was deemed ne-
cessary to be passed, protecting stock in trade from being as-
sessed from one year to another. His Hon. Friend had stated
that the Bill was objectionable, as one that was to be renewed
from year to year. That objection might apply as a general
observation, but in this particular it did not ; for in fact it
would not be just to tax such property. As to the question of
his Hon. Friend, namely, whether this annual renewal of this
Bill was to be continued, he (Sir James Graham) had already
said that his own opinion was that the whole system of taxa-
tion would require revision, but with regard to the manner in
which the clergy were affected by it, he was not now prepared
to say to what extent a special remedy was to be applied in re-
ference to the clergy, or that they should be exempted.
Lord J. MANNERS said he was glad to hear the Hon. Ba-
ronet say that the system of rating generally required revision,
and that. it was likely to be done.
The Bill was then read a second time.
SLATE TRADE (BRAZIL) BILL.
Upon the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair, and
that the House do go into Committee on the Slave Trade (Bra-
zil) Bill,

Mr. M. GIBSON said, that from the corresrendence that
had been laid upon the table of that House, as having passed
between this Government and the Government of Brazil on
this subject, he was led to apprehend that there still remained
a great deal for the House to be informed on, before the Legis-
lature agreed to an Act which would, in fact, have the effect of
creating hostilities between this country and Brazil. This
Bill proposed to give letters of marque to privateers, to
with,
detain and search all vessels they may fa"
inding n
i
which the captains of them might suspect to be
trading
slaves; and the result of that would be to create a greata
sdealted
of inconvenience and annoyance. There at present
between this country and Brazil, in regard to the slave-
trade, a sort of conventional treaty which would now very soon

,British subjects should be tried hi'
British tribunals, and Brazilian subjects by Brazilian tribunals
The treaty to which he referred was the Slave Trade Consoli-
dation Act. But the slave trade was one in which, he ad-
mitted, the Executive of Brazil could not Act as it could wish,
no more than the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her
Majesty's Government could act independently on the subject
of the corn-laws. The interests of the lords of the soil, and
the passions of the people, all interfered with the course of
the Brazilian Government in putting down the slave trade.
They should, therefore, make considerable allowance for the
short comings of that Government. He knew of no dispo-
sition on the part of the Brazilian Government not to put an
end to the slave trade, for in August, 1841, the Brazilian
Minister made a distinct proposal to put an end to the slave
trade. The negotiation entered into was suddenly broken off
by the orders of this Government, and a different course was
entered into, involving a line of commercial policy fatal to the
best interests of the trade between this country and Brazil.
If the Government was prepared to take a hasty and hostile
course, he was not prepared to share the responsibility. Let
them send out their cruisers and seize the ships of Brazil, and
let them come down next session, and if they could make out a
proper case they would get an indemnity ; but do not let them
call upon Hon. Members, such as himself, to give their adherence
