WOOD Goons.—The Commissioners of the Customs
having had under their consideration a memorial from an
eminent firm, importers of wood goods, requesting that all
deals exceeding 21 feet in length may be in future delivered
upon an average quantity of the whole contents of each pile,
without reference to numbers, instead of being required to
enter the exact quantity and endorse the particular numbers
of the deals upon the locker's order, by which practice great
delay and additional expense are occasioned, and the Board
being of opinion that there is no objection to the delivery of
deals exceeding 2lft. in length, in the same way as fir tim-
ber, upon an entry being passed for a given quantity, speci-
fying the number in loads, the locker on the part of the
revenue taking care to deliver to the extent of that quantity
only, observing to endorse the number and contents of each
deal on the back of the order, and to carry forward any small
surplus in the delivery (not exceeding the contents of one
deal) to the subsequent order, until the whole parcel be de-
livered; and the Commissioners having further had under
their notice a report from their principal officers as to the
directions which it may be necessary to issue with a view to
give effect to the Treasury Order recently issued, approving
of the -fractional parts of a foot, leSs than 3 inches, being
rejected in future in measuring deals in bulk;• and their
surveyors general having submitted that their officers may
be informed, that in the measurement of deals, battens, &c.,
in bulk, in future, the fractional parts of a foot. less than 3
inches, in taking the lengths of the piles, are to be rejected,
in conformity with the existing practice observed with
respect to deals, &c, exceeding 21 feat, when measured
singly; and further, that where the pile consists of four
great hundred deals or planks, or of six great hundred boards
or battens, and upwards, the fractional parts of a foot, less
than 3 inches, are also to be rejected in taking the width
and height—it has been resolved by the Board that these
several propositions and recommendations are approved, and
directions have been issued to the revenue officers of the
several departments in London and at the various outnorts
of the United Kingdom, to govern themselves accordingly
with respect to all future importations of these descriptions
of wood goods.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Friday
afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a young man named
Richard Lambert, whilst practising in a boat preparatory to rowing
a wager, lost his hold of one of the sculls, which fell into the water
near the Thames-police station, and in leaning over to reach it, the
boat overbalanced, and the unfortunate young man became im-
mersed in the stream. Although the accident was observed by
numbers on both sides of the shore, and boats instantly put off, the
poor fellow could not be recovered. Lambert was in his twenty_
first.year, and had been married but a few weeks. The body has
not yet been found.

The Directors of the London and Brighton
Railway Company have made a proposition to the Postmaster-
General to convey mailbags to and from London and Brighton by
every train, without any additional expense. It is hoped that
Government will avail itself of this very liberal offer; in which
case, this town will be placed on the same footing as the metropolis
with its two.penny post delivery.—Brighton Herald.
ins LAST DAY.—Friday, Octobta. the 10th, was
the day fixed on by Prophet Dealtry and his companions for ‘he
consummation of all things. The sun has passed the meridian,
and the day alresdy begins to decline. We have no token what.
ever thkt these presumptuous men had any foundation for their fe-
natcalt ravings. One of them at least appeared to be honest; but
we have some difficulty in absolutely believing that, because the
same parties have fixed on three successive years, and after quitting
one scene of delusion, have broke ground in a new place with a
new period. Our Ashburton correspondent reports that they
passed through Ashburton last evening, three men and one
bound to the north of England, where very likely we e shall
wheofraon, f them before long, They seem to be too anxious to escape
from the scene of their western mission.— Western Times.
FOREIGN CATTLE.—Another prime lot of Spanish
bullocks-48 in number, consigned to Messrs. S. Treeby and Co._

auction on the following Tuesday.—Plymouth Journal.

into Chancery in February next, it':ts essential to correct a
fallacy that has been found very. preQlent. Many of the

On this it is
simply. to; be remarked, that stock and hills are prbloerty and
not money, that they represent past savings, and are Potg-
