changes.

There has been a very thin attendance on.
'Change, and scarcely a single. bargain in Con-
sols effected. A price was indeed quoted,
77„, but it was doubtful if any actual bargain
was effected.

•
In Foreign Securities, and Shares, there has

been the same flatness.

It was rumoured on 'Change, that there will be
an operation in Exchequer-Bills, immediately on
the meeting of Parliament, after the recess.

" HINT To OvEusccas.—T,hursday, a pauper
of Sutton, in shfield, applied to the Sitting Magistrate, at
Mansfield, for relief; and on the Overseer being called to shew
cause, stated, that this man kept a dog and fighting cock ; upon
which the .lustices instantly dismissed the complaint, observing,
that the Overseer hut acted very properly. By law, no person
is entitled to parochial relief who keeps a dog or fighting-cock."
The above is extracted from a morning paper.
It is not law. No statute exists authorising a re-
fusal of wrochial relief for such cause, and the
Magistrate acted illegally in not making the
usual order. Keepinz a dog would oot by
the express provisions of u late Act prevent men
from claiming exemption from assessed taxes on
account of poverty. Overseers would do well to
attend to our hint.

CHRIST CHURCH, SultßEV.—This being the
day of unnoal election for Parish Officers, the
Church was nomerously attended. The appoint-
meets went on in the usual manner, with some
changes, among which was that of Auditor of
the Parish Accounts, to which office Mr. H Elsa,/
HUNT Was elected. On the motion for adding
three bundled guiueas to the salary of the Rec-
tor, on ei ho.e piety, charity, and social vir-
tries Mr. 11. Hawes passed many eulogiums,
Mr. Hunt observed, that giving Mr. Hawes full
credit for his character of the Rev. Gentleman,
who, he believed, merited all the praises be.
stoaetl, he, nevertheless, thought that when
the times pressed so hardly on the poor, and
indeed upon all classes, some attention should
:be paid to economy. Ile understood a man
who had worked for Mr. Hawes, with a wife
and five children, had some time ago applied to
the parish for relief, being out of work, and could
*Wain only seven shillings per week ; his wages at
the best of times were fifteen shillings per week,
and that he could obtain but 75., while his
salary had been but 15s. a week when in em-
ploy. The Rector, he understood, had another
Jiving—small fees—that amounted to seven hun-
dred, a year in this parish—in all, above
1,000/. a year, which sum was able to maintain
1,500 families at 15s. per week, and that, while
welt was the case, lie thought the parish should
Itat he called upon for any additional expences ;
thtit nothing should be laid out unless itnpee o sly
called for, and that he hoped on that day twelve-
month he should be able to satisfy the Vestry as
to the necessity of frugality, and a more equi-
table division of the Parish Rates.—Mr. B.
Hawes expressed himself with some warmth at the
allusion made by Mr. Hunt to the men in his
employ. They had a fund to support them in
time of need, and never, to his knewledge,
asked for parochial relief ; he thought it was
very ungentlemanly to make such an allusion.
[Here Mr. Hunt repelled the imputation, at the
tame time declaring he meant nothing invidious
to Mr. Hawes.]—Mr. Hawes, resuming, said that
although he never attended the Church, he con-
tributed more to it than any one that did, and
claimed the support of the Vestry to his motion.
A desultory- conversation arose, in which Mr.
Harris, jell. made a pointed allusion to Mr.
Hunt's blacking, in reply to which Mr. Hunt
observed, that the question for the consideration
of the Parish would not be illustrated by allu.
alone either to blacking or soapsuds. The ques.
tion was put, and Mr. Hunt acquiescing,
notwithstanding many interruptions, carried.
Upon a motion that the Rector should be al-
limed a further sum of 100 guineas a year,
-to enable him to keep a Curate. A warm (Hs-
• c.ussion followed.—Mr. Hunt said he found by
(the accounts that a balance remained out of the
.lactrirsl rates, amounting to '2,4851. since the
